"ow. now. very disappointed. i with me now. very disappointed. i backed michael gove. particularly as it was so close, but sometimes that's the way life is. but i pay tribute to michael. he fought a very upfront, clear, principled campaign, andl upfront, clear, principled campaign, and i think he did extremely well, particularly as he had a few bumps on the road along the way, from what i know of michael, back at the test tomorrow morning, he has a very importantjob tomorrow morning, he has a very important job in cabinet tomorrow morning, he has a very importantjob in cabinet which he is very passionate about and he will carry on working for the party in the country, as yours has done.” have spoken to people from your team earlier. i felt that they felt optimistic. there has been talk of borisjohnson optimistic. there has been talk of boris johnson people optimistic. there has been talk of borisjohnson people voting for jeremy hunt in order to keep michael gove of the last two, has not been going on? i don't think that could happen

because i think if it had done, i bet they are incredibly brilliant and they got a two vote margin which i suppose it's conceivable but i think unlikely i think if that kind of centralised corralling of boats of centralised corralling of boats of bringing them in en bloc, if they had been doing that, i think we have seen a much bigger discrepancy between jeremy hunt and seen a much bigger discrepancy betweenjeremy hunt and michael gove. i am betweenjeremy hunt and michael gove. lam pleased by betweenjeremy hunt and michael gove. i am pleased by that, betweenjeremy hunt and michael gove. lam pleased by that, i betweenjeremy hunt and michael gove. i am pleased by that, i think that's a good sign. it shows that the contest was healthy identify might have thought it would be. have you thought about who you will back? i had not decided yet, but what i can say is two things. one is i think we have two excellent candidates here, and the second thing is with everyone of them that's finally prevail, they will have my other support, what we have got to do now is get brexit and more important than that is to make sure jeremy corbyn never darkens the door at number ten downing st. reaction

here from lots of people looking ahead now to several more weeks of space still to go. we look forward to that, thank you very much indeed, vicki young, that's about it from me in this special coverage of the final round as far as mps are concerned of the conservative leadership contest in which boris johnson and jeremy hunt are as you now now the file to go the city wider tory party membership. i want to thank our guests here in the studio who have been watching and listening with us. the former adviser to david cameron and former adviser to david cameron and former adviser to david cameron and former adviser to theresa may. thank you for your expertise. it doesn't leave you with a treat, we had from one of the defeated contenders today. it's a handwritten letter and he says: translation:

ticket to look and feel a bit different to their classmates, those who don't have many toys and private tutors, delegates —— those who feel like outsiders and wonder whether opportunity isjust like outsiders and wonder whether opportunity is just other people work hard, have faith in your abilities and don't let anyone try to cut you down to size or essay you are not big enough to get to aim high. you have as much right as anyone to a seat at the top table to be ambitious by yourself and to make your voice heard. so seize every opportunity that this wonderful country presents to you with both hands, you and our best days lie ahead so that a rousing message there from side javid, ahead so that a rousing message there from sidejavid, he has not gone through the divine altar, we know now that boris johnson gone through the divine altar, we know now that borisjohnson and jeremy hunt. that is get some sports news for you now, it is time for sports day. hello there, at the bbc sport

centre. it's a sports day, here is what is coming up for you this evening. scotland reflect on a challenging and incredible world cup journey. scotland head coach says that they will continue to inspire. mary is back larry two, five times the king of queens it's a gentle introduction to competitive tennis in the doubles. what better way to beat the blue boys, david hits the highest score at this years cricket world cup. also coming up in the programme, he had the book is running scared again, for in a row, including the big one, the gold cup. good evening to you. contrast to the

england and scotland camps at the women's world cup today, both packing up for a very different reasons. scotland for home after that and draw against argentina less than bottom of group d. but then the lionesses heading to a knockout match for them in the last 16 on sunday after topping the group with a victory against japan last sunday after topping the group with a victory againstjapan last night. it has had to niece now and speak to our sports correspondence down by the water, many thanks forjoining us the water, many thanks forjoining us from sports day, we will speak england injust us from sports day, we will speak england in just a us from sports day, we will speak england injust a moment. my word, perhaps the most dramatic match up there in paris in the world cup, scotla nd there in paris in the world cup, scotland three, argentina three, it left the players in tears, the scotts player is of course, it left the head coach rounding on the officials, it really was quite a night. it really was. i think we are all still struggling to comprehend exactly what happened there in

paris. of course, scotland went into this game knowing they had to beat argentina if states said any chance of making a knockout stage. when aaron put in 3—0 up with 20 minutes ago, you really sense that this was their time, that they had one fight in the next round. it unraveled so cruelly for them after that argentina squaring two quick goals to send scotland scrambling really, and unsettled them and then in the last second, argentina where awarded ebay —— avr penalty. 50, up last second, argentina where awarded ebay -— avr penalty. 50. up stepped their player, the alexander saved it, she seemed like she was the hero but then a minute or so later, the ar intervenes to rule that she left her lying to early on that penalty had to be retaken by the lesser of the law it was the correct decision but it still felt incredibly harsh on the alexander and argentina having had an audition, i did not need a second opportunity. it was 3-3 at need a second opportunity. it was 3—3 at the final whistle and

scotla nd 3—3 at the final whistle and scotland players understand that they absolutely devastated. that means they now fly home tomorrow. they were so upset at the final whistle. we have now had a tweet from shelley trying to sum up exactly the feelings in that scotla nd exactly the feelings in that scotland camps he says —— she says. we share that frustration, disappointment and heartache but we will be stronger. on reflection that jenny has been challenging and incredible, we appreciate all the support and the critique, we will continue to inspire. that last line is silky because of course it's a scotland's ever women's world cup. they showed so much promise but it's endedin they showed so much promise but it's ended in such bitter disappointment. you mentioned that they talked about the ar, it's really that instant that we have had it before at this world cup the french as well, it

will redefine how goalkeeper approach penalty kicks and england all too aware of that. no that is right. last night was not the first time they had seen it in the world cup, pre—penalties had been retaken already. it follows this new law that came into effect as before the women's world cup site at that the goalkeeper has to have one part of their foot goalkeeper has to have one part of theirfoot on goalkeeper has to have one part of their foot on the line as the penalty kick is taking. it's not just the law that's proved controversial, the application of the law of the live video referee made it very difficult for goalkeeper to know how to type them i went to dive, and we have seen these reta kes and i went to dive, and we have seen these retakes and i suppose imperfections and a game that may be one created bothered about before it's to be admitted this whole debate about technology and its place in football and then set today they are not going to use the ar in that scenario, they would leave the decision to the on—field refereeing but it's something we have been

talking to phil neville about today. and he says his goalkeepers have been reading up on date and they have been looking at this closely in training. the goalkeeper is that we have had, they have been the ones that ask the most questions, they have been the ones that probably stayed behind and probed a little bit more because ultimately, if you have got to keep your foot on the line, at the favour, the advantages it probably makes it even more impossible for people to save a penalty. so as you can see, england has been giving this a great deal of thought, such a difficult one for the goalkeepers, in scotland pundit said he does not think it's ever been easierfor a penalty said he does not think it's ever been easier for a penalty to said he does not think it's ever been easierfor a penalty to be scored because it makes it so difficult for the goalkeepers but i'm sure this is not the last heard

of this debate. i know exactly where you are. just over the camera if you look, there is a fine fish restau ra nt look, there is a fine fish restaurant there, behind the camera, it's their club, enjoyed, had a nice evening. i'm a thank you very much. we all had their next. see you soon. the final group games kick off at eight. they should be a good one. it's another one of those matches to determine top spots, spain waiting for whoever finishes top, should determine top spots, spain waiting for whoeverfinishes top, should be a good one that one. absolutely -- absolutely. a tussle we have had, you can feed their fans, they have been dating and for the last hour or so. i think everybody has been building up to this game since the draw was made back in december. because of knew that usa would not really be tested are in beat sweden

until it came to this final grip game and they have so much history together meeting and so many groups in world cups over the years and then back in 2016, seed and dumped then back in 2016, seed and dumped the usa out of the olympics, at the quarterfinals state and that was the earliest ever exit for the usa i'm not really forced usa and their coach to think about how she approaches playing the game of football and they come up against a very good defensive team so we have seen over the last three years, bringing more fluid and adaptable flexible team, she's gone for all those attackers but they are question marks over have seen them not really struggle with their defence in the last two games. they have been very interesting to see how the usa hold up, just as a crowd had towards me i don't know if you can hear that. they have got a drum coming towards me, they are certainly going to be with a silver

medal at the olympics and that looks like they are bringing charge here. i can't hear the drum at all. very quickly, the like decking print —— plenty of steak over issues and also they are over inflated claims, there are loads of sell—outs but there have been hardly any. yes, this has been ongoing and rumbling since the tournament started. they usa games and defence games in the opening game and the final and semifinals area game and the final and semifinals are a sell—outs but other games we have seen a less numbers than we had been told and anticipated and when it was looked into and they were pushed on eight it was basically done to the fact that the capacities of the1.6 done to the fact that the capacities of the 1.6 million but fee only sold 1.3 million tickets so when we are seeing empty seats and stadiums it's

not that the full stadiums who were sold out, the full capacity of it was so sold out, the full capacity of it was so their ego. many thanks indeed, i will leave you with your new charms. those are the group matches today, the two games and group eare matches today, the two games and group e are trying to a close. that iran and canada paying for the top spot. they gave the dutch city. christine sinclair leveled for the canadians scoring her 182nd, 182nd goalfor canada. the canadians scoring her 182nd, 182nd goal for canada. the netherlands have reta ke n goal for canada. the netherlands have retaken that indeed ten minutes left to go so they will take the group as it stands. winner of new zealand could face england in the last, cameroon 1—0 up in that one. what a result that would be for cameroon.

1996, frankie went through the card winning all seven race is on the day, he got the book even a spin today as well as he won the first four races on ladies day out while ascot including the big one, the gold cup. it has had a knife to the course now. gold cup. it has had a knife to the course now. and speak to the horse racing report to. those memories must have come flooding back. frankie simply loves ascot doesn't he? noi frankie simply loves ascot doesn't he? no i have stated in the spot where 23 years ago we celebrated his seventh win. that was that competitive odds of 20 5000—1 making headlines around the world and there is times this afternoon just before five o'clock where we thought if you going to do it again? for winners, this time to meditate odds of 450—1 but the bookies were shaking. they we re but the bookies were shaking. they were saying this could be one of the worst days in their history and when he went clear in the fifth race, the

roar from the crowd, 70,000 people here was amazing. in the end he lost by one and a quarter lengths so he was by one and a quarter lengths so he was denied the five timer but it was a memorable day to win four races, the first races of royal ascot, gold cup ladies day i don't think it's ever cup ladies day i don't think it's ever been done before. an amazing day for frankie, many thanks indeed, the champagne will be filing as the bookies took a beating. after that second hip operation injanuary, and di maria's long—awaited return to competitive tennis is about to be over. competitive tennis is about to be over. he is due uncorrected creams in the doubles with his partners and if you're not up as a very soon. but obviously all that pay less congested because there's been a couple of days of rain so he is waiting to get on court because steph us hits a pass he is on court at the moment. he argued to be up against the colombian top seats.

that has had a look at some of the days of the days other headlines. he had to pay twice in a day. six match points before finally losing in the second to the greek 75. juan martin del potro he is out of next month's wimbledon. what he did not know is that he fractured his right kneecap as well during the match. he severed that same injury less than 12 months ago. at the wto in birmingham the french open champion ashleigh barty continued her good run on grass, states that window by jennifer brady to reach the quarters in the well number one there losing today, by the to the top —— top —— top of the rankings of a couple more liens. australia piled on the runs today at the cricket world cup. david warner hit 166 against bangladesh. that's the highest score

at this year's tournament his second century as well. bangladesh chasing 382 for victory they will not do it. adam reports. as this world cup stops at trent beach for the final time, there are signs of the task far bangladesh is becoming clearer. fans leaving their support and wavering against the champions it would take something more than that. aaron finch stayed —— making network of them running. he was that bangladesh supports strumming up again, it had little effect. warner now again, it had little effect. warner now passed his century and enjoying himself, boundary after boundary, bangladesh had no answer but even the most fanatical hushed for a moment. they eventually passed 150 on route to the highest score of the tournament so far, but even after he departed, others were quick to take his place. on then relate rickets and of course the great british

summer could smell the site. what bangladesh needed was a quick start, what they found was a lightning fast reaction of the field there, a brilliant run out, the looks of it all. there has beenjust enough to keep faint hopes and spirits high but real bangladesh celebrations now feel just out of but real bangladesh celebrations now feeljust out of reach. they have given it a real goal, 320 odd now for a setting but they are running out of that for a but it's been a fantastic game there. at that for sports day updates throughout the rest of the evening on bbc news but for me and the rest of the team, that for sports day updates throughout the rest of the evening on bbc news but from me and the rest of the team, good night. hello, you are watching bbc news and carol walker. there we have it, the conservative party leadership contest has now become a two horse

race between borisjohnson with 51% of conservative mps votes is easily be front runner. and jeremy hunt now the decision—making making available becomes the next prime minister ships from mps to the conservative party membership. but, of course mps are still digesting the implications of that results and are political correspondent vicki young is in the central lobby. vicki, what are they making of a pair? there were gasps here because of the result that was read out, they were adjusted to the boats between jeremy read out, they were adjusted to the boats betweenjeremy hunt read out, they were adjusted to the boats between jeremy hunt and michael gove after who was going to challenge borisjohnson. michael gove after who was going to challenge boris johnson. of michael gove after who was going to challenge borisjohnson. of course there are some happy and disappointed mps, i am joined by two of them now. and milton who was appointing michael gove and jeremy hunt. you must be very disappointed, two boats in. it was very close. of course i am disappointed. i am disappointed for michael and somehow

it always feels worse if the result is that close when you lose. so yes he fought a good campaign. people we re he fought a good campaign. people were looking already and saying hang ona were looking already and saying hang on a minute. they all dropped out, a few of them said they were going to look for boris johnson but few of them said they were going to look for borisjohnson but he's on the one up by three. some were saying that borisjohnson support test tried to getjeremy hunt on the ballot. you're dealing with one of the most sophisticated elections in the most sophisticated elections in the country. sophisticated or duplicitous? i think sophisticated. the results are what they are. both jeremy hunt and michael gove are friends of mine so i'm delighted that we will have a final. i know jeremy hunt two will give boris johnson a very good one for his money. because he's not a done deal. is that true because we have seen all the surveys and pulling up tory grassroots members and they seem to be in favour of borisjohnson. grassroots members and they seem to be in favour of boris johnson. they only ever give a snapshot, we need to look at the evidence. jeremy has
