good morning welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and mega munchetty. borisjohnson saw police come to his house after reports of a domestic disturbance. both he and jeremy hunt are currently on the hustings to try to convince people to be the prime minister. people come together to celebrate the anniversary of the windrush generation. the cricket

world cup suffers a blow. life gets much harderfor the hosts now. good morning. all quiet on the weather front at least for today. it's a lovely start to the weekend but there are stormy days ahead and for some of us, to ones as well. the full weekend forecast is on its way. it's saturday 22nd june. our top story. boris johnson is likely to face questions today over reports that police were called to his home in the early hours of friday morning because of a loud argument. our political correspondent, helena wilkinson, is in our london newsroom. helena, there's only one story in town this morning — will this have any effect on boris johnson's campaign? we know officers from the metropolitan police went to the flat that mrjohnson chairs with his partner as you said in the early hours of friday morning. it follows reports from a neighbour who said

they heard a loud argument. the guardian newspaper has said they spoke to a neighbour who recorded the row from inside the flat. it's important to stress we have not heard that recording, the guardian has, but they are saying that in that recording, it can be heard that his partner could be heard telling mrjohnson to "get off me and get out of my flat" and then goes on to say that he ruined a sofa with red wine, saying, you just don't care for anything because you are spoiled. you have no care for money or anything. the paper also says the neighbour says she heard a woman screaming followed by slamming and banging. we have had a statement from the metropolitan police who have confirmed that just from the metropolitan police who have confirmed thatjust after mid night on friday the 21st ofjune,

the police went to a property in south—east london after reports from a caller who said they were concerned for the welfare of a female neighbour, with a statement going on to say that attended and there were no offences or concerns apparent to the officers and there was no cause for police action. police left and no further action is going to be taken. we did ask boris johnson's spokesperson for a statement and they have said no comment. the story that was johnson would prefer not to have. today, we get the first official hustings of the two candidates in birmingham.

this is the first of 16 hustings. the first stage of the tory contest and what's going to take place is the two candidates are going to travel across the country and each of these hustings, they are going to be given about 45 minutes each to a nswer be given about 45 minutes each to answer questions from members of the audience in these members are members of the conservative party, they are going to be deciding who they are going to be deciding who the next leader is and we heard from jeremy hunt. he has been asked to ta ke jeremy hunt. he has been asked to take part in more televised debates and sooner. the point i'm making is that it makes an absolute mockery of this leadership contest for the conservative party if people will actually have started voting before they have a chance to see the two protagonists on tv. we are going to be able to see what goes on in these hustings. the media are not going to

be allowed to ask any questions. this is purely for the tory membership and if you think we've seen a lot of these two candidates so seen a lot of these two candidates so far, we're going to be seeing a lot more of them over the next three weeks or so. churches could become safe spaces for children at risk of becoming victims of knife crime under plans to be discussed at next month's general synod. a priest from south london wants parishes in serious violence hotspots to open their doors to vulnerable children during the period immediately after school and to provide knife amnesty bins. charlotte gallagher has more. the tragic toll of knife crime in the uk. more than 100 people have been stabbed to death so far this year. many, just teenagers. scenes like this all too familiar. now a london vicar says the church of england needs to do more to help

children at risk of being attacked. canon rosemarie mallett, who's a vicar in brixton, says churches should open the door to pupils after schools finish, providing a place where they can relax and importantly feel safe. she has also suggested placing knife amnesty bins in churches to encourage more people to hand in their weapons. the proposal will be discussed by church leaders at next month's general synod. and as knife crime continues to rise, more families grieve their loved ones. canon mallett hopes her plan will save lives. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. schools should teach children about the dangers ofjumping into cold water — that's according to the local government association. the number of young people who drowned accidentally in the uk went up by almost a quarter last year — 31 died — and the lga says lessons on water safety could save lives, as even strong swimmers can suffer from cold water shock. the uk's self—employed workers need measures to protect them from the impact of being paid late by some biggerfirms. that's according to the organisation that represents them. it says the problem has been increasing, and that freelancers

are particularly vulnerable. here's our business correspondent katy austin. when london—based james does work for businesses, he asks for payment within a month. when that comes late, it has a big impact as he'll already have paid for parts. if i pay for it on the 15th, and you're not paying me straight after, i'm then using my own personal money and money that i have had to put aside for rent and for bills. the group which represents self—employed and freelance workers known as ipse says two—thirds have had trouble with late payments across all sorts of industries. late payment in real terms means empty bank accounts. it means going into debt sometimes, it means that you can't meet those essential expense payments such as your mortgage or rent payments and this can cause pretty serious problems around stress, anxiety, depression and it can even cause problems within personal relationships. the government said this week that

while the majority of businesses pay their bills on time, it's looking at new measures to make sure that always happens. these include possibly giving the small business commissioner powers to find large businesses or introduce binding payment plans, making company boards more accountable for payment practices to small businesses and a new fund to encourage small firms to use technology, which it says could reduce the time spent chasing payments. labour has said the proposals don't go far enough butjames welcomes any action that will protect businesses like his, as does ipse, although it says the government must follow through on its promises and that ultimately some larger businesses need to change a late payment culture. katie austin, bbc news. almost half of packaging used by supermarkets in the uk can't be easily recycled or recycled at all, according to new research. the consumer group which? says a lot of material used to keep food fresh is unnecessary and more sustainable materials should be used. the british retail consortium say retailers are working hard to ensure

all plastic packaging is reusable, recyclable or compostable. ‘which?’ says more sustainable materials should be used. so it's clear that there is lots more supermarkets should be doing to make sure their rcycling labelling is easy to understand for consumers and wherever possible, supermarkets should also do away with unnecessary packaging. the government should invest in better recycling infrastructure and across the board we would like to see better, more effective information for consumers so we can make the right choices. he's one of britain's best loved singers and now sir eltonjohn has been honoured by france. he was awarded the legion d'honneur by the french president emmanuel macron at a special ceremony in paris. he was praised by mr macron for his contribution to music and his charity work to fight against aids.

this reminds me every day of the extraordinary power of the human spirit. these things are stronger than those that divide us. it's this magical human spirit that i will carry with me as a proud member of the legion d'honneur. with your music ringing in my ears. merci a tout, joyeux festival. didn't you like that? he finished with a french flourish. jeremy hunt and boris johnson are going to be kicking off a month— long campaign. they are gathering support from the 160,000 conservative party members who will vote for them to be the next prime minister. it's perhaps not ideal

then for mrjohnson, that the papers are dominated by reports of a domestic disturbance at his home in the early hours of friday morning. we're can now speak to three conservative party members to find out who they're supporting, and if stories like this affect a candidate's credibility. we're joined in the studio by young conservative members tukeer hussain and kyle daisley. and conservative councillor charlotte hodivala is in our birmingham newsroom. good morning. that is whether hustings work. just pick up on that. what do you get to do? that's correct. for me, the hustings is an important avenue for members to ask questions, gain more information about what their campaign is all about. as well as finding out their future vision for the country. do you come to this with an open mind? you are going there not knowing which way you will vote? you are going there not knowing which way you will vote ?|j you are going there not knowing which way you will vote? i am supporting, as my local mp sajid javid, someone who will bring a

difference to the table. i'm now open—minded in the hustings will be a real eye—openerfor me. open—minded in the hustings will be a real eye-opener for me. your position is they've got to sell themselves. who are you supporting? i started off with sajid javid but i realise with all the other candidates being removed itsjeremy hunt on one side and borisjohnson on the other. i lean towardsjeremy. from charlotte, who are you supporting? you are supporting jeremy hunt, you're undecided. boris johnson? well, boris i believe is the right man to lead the country through brexit and also to keep jeremy corbyn out of number ten and giving the best vision for our future after brexit we are going to excel at the world stage. some people might be watching this, you are going into this to see two people who want to be your party leader and for the rest of us, the prime minister. have you already

made your mind up? as party members, we often see a lot of the candidates. i believe my mind is made up. to keepjeremy corbyn out with number ten. there is nothing you could hear? it's like that. we'll have an open mind if somebody comes up we'll have an open mind if somebody comes up with a completely different vision for the country but we heard their visions. 0ur we've heard them layout their future for the country. these hustings are an opportunity to hear a finer detail. more of an operational point of view over to how they will lead us forward and i think boris is the man for the job. i approach everything with an open mind and the point of the hustings are frosty listen to the candidates andl are frosty listen to the candidates and i think —— i think even though i

was leading towards jeremy and i think —— i think even though i was leading towardsjeremy hunt, i wouldn't go as far towards boris. i'm not the only one in that capacity. a lot of people like kyle in the party are in the middle. i think that's why these hustings are so think that's why these hustings are so important. what i want to the candidates need to do? just paint the picture? you're sitting there, a amount of time. what do they need to do? what aspect of their performance. more of the finer detail the campaign, apart from brexit. that's all i've heard so far, is brexit. i do have my concern is that the not just to do with brexit. can i chuck something in front of all three of you as conservative party members, which is

some people think this whole process is actually much more about the welfare of the conservative party and it is about who is best to leave the country. that its self—interest. you are all getting together, you will members of the same party, you wa nt will members of the same party, you want your party to have longevity. ata time want your party to have longevity. at a time when some people say it could go horribly wrong right now. that's all you are there for. and you are not really interested. what this leadership contest represents is the future. i don't think it's just the future of the party but the future of the country as well. take this very seriously as members and we understand that we are in a privileged position to be able to vote for the next prime minister and i'm not sure as my fellow colleagues will make the point, it's something that we are looking into. the reason why we came on here is to make sure we have a wider access to this. you are the one who on the face of it is

the most persuasive all but is this really about why not? all the indications are in terms of polls, he clearly has a lead and a significant one. it is clear he has the backing of the mp5, and we all have different views of the candidates. for me, i would be looking again at the finer detail of what boris can bring. do you understand the point that charlie raised, that some will say they feel the conservative party is out for itself, and you members are voting for the party, not the country? no, that's not right at all. we are voting in the interests of the country, we are lucky to have two candidates with a great deal of experience, one having run the nhs and the other having run london. they are both very capable and we are really looking at who is the

best for the topjob in are really looking at who is the best for the top job in the country. it isa best for the top job in the country. it is a huge privilege and we take it very seriously indeed. you have all been very clear that you want detail about what plans are. i think it would be churlish to pretend that pa rt it would be churlish to pretend that part of this is not about personality, and i suspect you will be looking for more signs, if you don't already know, about — alarm bells about either of them, the bits that you think people won't like all the polarising elements. you will be well aware that the headlines today are about boris johnson, well aware that the headlines today are about borisjohnson, and ijust wonder where that sits in the balance of the decision—making? wonder where that sits in the balance of the decision—making7m was mentioned in the financial times this morning that this leadership election is less about brexit gymnastics and more about charisma and the leaders themselves. i think there is an element of truth in that in that we need to look at the actual leaders, that there is more to life than brexit. 0nce brexit has

been delivered by either of the candidates they will be a country to lead and a country to unite. i think character and charisma will play a pa rt character and charisma will play a part in that. i thinkjeremy hunt is a safe pa rent part in that. i thinkjeremy hunt is a safe parent hands. i think he is the right man for thejob, and i don't think boris will be able to do that, because he is a naturally divisive figure. give me a sense of when you talk among yourselves, conservative party members, and as the media observes divisions in this party, there is nothing really more divisive than a leadership race, is there? forgetting what the pm does in terms of the country, for the conservative party, what do you fear for in terms of divisions being healed? i think everybody is being blindfolded by brexit at the moment and people need to think beyond that. once brexit is finished where do we want the party to go? for the party itself of course we need to ensure that we are a party that is

united and agrees on things and we can move forward. do you have faith that that can be done after this campaign? yes, i do, indeed. as long as we choose the correct candidate. thank you all very much. you are all attending the hustings today. good luck with that. the way it works is that the media are invited by journalists don't get to ask questions, they are merely there as observers. we will know what happens, but on this occasion journalists are excluded from the ability to ask questions. here's nick with a look at this morning's weather. this is salford quays, beautiful, some hazy cloud and sunshine. in london, the view over westminster. still a bit hazy, but i think it will be a warm day for many of us.

it is going to be a stunning day across the uk, just in time for the start of the weekend. it is a view you can drink. so lovely this morning, and yes it will warm up after a chilly start to the day. nothing too hot, if you don't like the heat and humidity i think it is in the comfort zone for many of us today. with sunshine on the way and high—pressure in control, let'sjust ignore the weather fronts looking to the south—west for now, because they are not a playerjust yet. a cloudy start in northern ireland and some of us across the eastern parts of england. some will see some sunny spells coming through. cloud in northern scotland producing a few showers, but most places will have plenty of sunshine. bear in mind, pollen levels, england and, very high today. so, some of us will be suffering. entertonight,

high today. so, some of us will be suffering. enter tonight, a high today. so, some of us will be suffering. entertonight, a bit high today. so, some of us will be suffering. enter tonight, a bit of patchy cloud. still enough in northern scotland for a shower, and temperatures around 8—12. the first pa rt temperatures around 8—12. the first part of the weekend done and dusted. pa rt part of the weekend done and dusted. part two, not quite so straightforward. weather fronts coming in, very slowly towards the south—west, high—pressure clinging on elsewhere. just after a sunny start, cloud increasing. into the afternoon, the odd shower, maybe thunderstorm, breaking out. then, this thundery rain pushing in towards northern ireland. it is still going to be warm, maybe a little cooler with a stronger breeze towards the north—east coast. certainly into south—east england. we are concerned through sunday night and into monday how much rain places will get. some rain in northern ireland but the thundery

rain and storm warnings really for the north—west. all pushing northwards into monday. bright colours showing up here, some heavy rain towards central and eastern scotla nd rain towards central and eastern scotland on monday. up to around 100 millimetres, especially over higher ground. a big variety of rain totals, but the potential is there for thundery rain. you get the picture, it will be quite a stormy start to the new week, but at the same time temperatures are going to be heading upwards, becoming very warm, even hot, in some spots. not everywhere will get this hot but the potential is there, particularly down towards southern england, around 30, even 31 degrees, with increasing humidity and warm nights making it difficult for sleeping. a

little more in the way of sunshine coming through. storms, heat, humidity, it feels like summer has finally arrived. it's hoped that blood from patients with mental health problems like schizophrenia could help develop new drugs to combat their illnesses. the medicines used currently don't help everyone with the condition, so cambridge university hope the method they've developed could lead to a new drugs breakthrough. here's our science correspondent richard westcott. there is a growing realisation that mental health problems aren'tjust in our brain, that they can affect many different parts of our body. including our blood. so, effectively, you have taken the blood from people with schizophrenia and people without schizophrenia, and people without schizophrenia, and you can see the differences in their blood? yeah, absolutely. so it actually turns out the cells from

patients with schizophrenia utilise calcium in a slightly different way. the calcium is used to communicate within the cell, and the cells from patients with schizophrenia are communicating in a different way. the cambridge team is now using that difference to try out new medicines. ifa drug difference to try out new medicines. if a drug fixes the problem in the blood, it could also help make the patient feel better. until now, people with schizophrenia have used trial and error to find a drug that works for them. the whole process can take years, if it works at all. but by testing different drug treatments on something is readily available as their blood, this team hopes to speed up the process and find new medicines. the main intention is really to identify drugs which are currently already exist and are already used in patients for other diseases, like heart disease and inflammation, et cetera. and also help patients with

schizophrenia. it is extremely hard to ta ke schizophrenia. it is extremely hard to take brain cells from living patients, but it is simple and safe to ta ke patients, but it is simple and safe to take and test their blood. and all you need to see what is going on inside the cells is some bright lights. the best way to analyse the blood is put fluorescent dye on it and shinea blood is put fluorescent dye on it and shine a laser on it, and that shows you exactly what is going on inside. this technique could potentially work for a number of mental illnesses at. we have looked at bipolar and autism spectrum disorder, and we found indications in the blood for all of those. one in five of us will have mental illness in our lives. testing new medicines on our blood should fast—track the process to find new treatments.

it's the first ever windrush day today, marking 71 years since hundreds of caribbean migrants sailed here on the empire windrush to help rebuild post—war britain. one of the last living passengers is alford gardner, who's now 93. i was one of lucky ones. that's why i'm still here. there are four generations of alford gardner's family — eight children, 16 grandchildren, and more than 20 great—grandchildren. i leftjamaica a long time ago. i don't know about you lot, but as a little boy, i was bright. i was very bright. and i knew it. laughter. at the time, there was no work, especially in my field. where did you hear about the ship and when did you go? my sister heard about it and sent me the news. so within days after hearing about it, my brother was off to book his ticket. i didn't have any money, so i had to ask my dad! and he gave me the money.

what happened on the ship? we had no problem. we had a bright happy ship. not much to do. just enjoy it. about three days out of england, we were told sleep as best as you can because it's cold. we had a very good time. very good time. but this wasn't his first time in the uk. he joined the raf at the age of 18 and served in the second world war. what was your first meal? lamb chops! and they were right little. my very, very first night, i had a problem. we had dinner, and there were some little bits of bone there, so i took a bit of the bone and by the time i sat down, they were onto me. i had stolen two young men's ration! are you used to the cold yet, granddad?

you never get used to it! how old are you? my brother said i'm three. you're three? iam 93. wow. 90 years more than you! a delightful man! so charming, isn't he. we are celebrating the achievements of who may be the oldest woman to cycle from land's of who may be the oldest woman to cycle from lands end tojohn 0'groats. she took up the challenge in honour of her three adult children, who

died within nine months of each other. mavis is on herfinal leg. today she could set a record as the oldest person to ride the 960 miles from lands end tojohn 0'groats. we are going to catch up with her just after 8am. headlines are coming up.

hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. police were called to the home of borisjohnson police were called to the home of boris johnson and his police were called to the home of borisjohnson and his partner in the early hours of friday after a neighbour reportedly heard a noisy rail. the guardian newspaper ‘s is a neighbour recorded some of the alleged argument in which mr johnson's partner can be heard saying, "get off me". metropolitan police says no offences have been committed. a spokesman has said no

comment. hundreds of events are being held to mark the first national windrush day, more than 70 yea rs national windrush day, more than 70 years since hundreds of caribbean migrants sailed over to help build postwar britain. it emerged some of the windrush generation had been wrongly accused of living in the uk illegally antedates been announced ata illegally antedates been announced at a windrush memorial will be built at a windrush memorial will be built at waterloo station. a priest in south london is calling for churches to become havens for children at risk of being stabbed. canon rosemary mallett wants judges to provide an after—school sanctuary for vulnerable children and knife amnesty things to encourage more people to hand in weapons. the church of england will discuss the proposal at next month's meeting of leaders. schools should teach children the dangers ofjumping into cold water according to the local government association. the number of young people who drowned accidentally went up a quarter last year, 31 died in the lga says lessons on safety could save lives

is even strong swimmers can suffer from cold water shock. the uk's self—employed workers need protection to help them paying stop being paying late. the government says it is looking at new measures to ensure as nurses are being paid on time. almost half of the packaging used by supermarkets in the uk can't be recycled. the consumer group which says a lot of packaging is unnecessary and the british retail consortium says retailers are working hard to make sure everything is reusable or recycla ble. sure everything is reusable or recyclable. which says more clear labelling should be used. it's clear there is lots more supermarket should be doing to make the recycling labelling is easy to understand for consumers and wherever possible, supermarkets should also do away with unnecessary packaging. the government should

invest in better recycling infrastructure and across the board, we would like to see better, more effective information for consumers so we can make the right choices. sir eltonjohn so we can make the right choices. sir elton john has so we can make the right choices. sir eltonjohn has received quite a few awards over the years and he has now been honoured by france. he was awarded the legion d'honneur by the french president emmanual macron, being praised for his music and his charity work in the fight against aids. what have you got, mike? in the cricket, favourites, the hosts, to sri lanka. they only need to get 233 runs. ifan if an expected them to do it but sri la nka if an expected them to do it but sri lanka bowled brilliantly. england have this situation was it a bit sticky. they have three more matches in the group stage. england have still got to play new zealand, australia and india adaptor when two of those realistically to go through

and haven't been those sides in the world cup since 1992. those that haven't followed that closely, england relative to sri lanka in the rankings. 0nly england relative to sri lanka in the rankings. only the top four. if you're thinking new zealand, australia, india, sri lanka, only four of those can go through. there isa four of those can go through. there is a danger england could go out. all the chat around england has been so positive. really praised, high praise. they recovered from the elegantly and have been in imperious form. that's why it was such a surprise. so this was a big surprise at headingley, with england slipping to defeat against sri lanka. andy swiss was watching. sunny skies, an in—form england, against a struggling sri lankan team. what could possibly go wrong? well, not much at first, as england's bowlers seemingly set them on course for victory. it all seemed so easy. 0ut, good catch.

the catches stuck, the wickets tumbled, and sri lanka's total of 232 seemed substandard. but sri lanka have lasith malinga, "the slinger" as he's known, and he slung his side back into contention. his remarkable action cutting through the england batting. huge shout, the finger goes up! by the time jofra archer became the ninth man out, england still needed nearly 50 runs. it seemed all over. but then a late twist. ben stokes with a barrage of sixes. single—handedly he clobbered england in sight of their target. withjust 21 runs needed, though, mark wood edged... what a win for sri lanka! and sri lanka erupted. the shock of the world cup so far. england can still make the semifinals but theirjourney may have just got a whole lot harder.

andy swiss, bbc news. you look at the basics of a run chase, partnerships are very important. we struggle to get enough partnerships going. there are individual innings but that's not enough to win a game. we get beaten, we tend to come quite strong. we tend to resort to being aggressive, smart, so we hope that's the case on tuesday. england's women have taken a 1—0 lead in their twenty20 series against the west indies. batting first, england set their opponents 181 to win. and the west indies fell 42 runs short, ending on 138—9. it's a 14th win in a row for the england women, a new record. the third and final t20 is on tuesday. hayley turner has become only the second female jockey ever to win at royal ascot and the first in 32 years. she won the sandringham stakes, on "thanks be", ahead of the queen's horse, magnetic charm which was beaten into second. she's the first female, winning jockey, since gay kelleway, in 1987. her celebrations were muted,

a little though, as she was given a a nine—day ban for using her whip too much. meanwhile, frankie dettori continued his impressive few days at ascot with his seventh winner of the meeting. he was on board advertise, which won the commonwealth cup. andy murray's second match since his comeback, was suspended due to fading light at the queen's club. murray and feliciano lopez, won the first set against dan evans and ken skupski, but the players had to leave the court, just before nine, with evans and skupski 5—4 ahead in the second set. the match will continue today after the singles' semi finals. there's live coverage from queen's on bbc one from one o'clock. it's the start of the knock out stage, at the women's world cup in france. germany face nigeria this afternoon, and later in the evening norway play australia. then tomorrow, england face cameroon, in valenciennes. the lionesses won all three of their games in the group stages. much of the discussion over the last week, though, was around var, after scotland's

dramatic exit, when argentina retook a penalty, after scotland goalkeeper lee alexander stepped off her line. england manager phil neville, says it's not var that's to blame. what we've been told will happen if the ball is not on the line, it's going to be retaken or a penalty would be given so actually the referee in var has actually worked. the bigger discussion is whether that rule needs to be implemented in the first place. that is the major issue, not the fact that the referee is doing hisjob or herjob or the var people only doing theirjob as well so i've got to say, i think var is good for the game. it's all gone horribly wrong for england's promising under 21 team. remember, some of these players were world champions at under 17 level. and had high hopes, but a crazy six goals towards the end in italy last night meant they lost 11—2 to romania, and so they're out of the european championships, with a game still to play.

two goals late on from florinel coman sealing victory. i just don't usually see you being so outraged. what is phil neville saying? thejumping rule on the line shouldn't matter? i must admit, i couldn't hear. england's mel reid has fallen down the leaderboard at the women's this year's tournament is the biggest africa cup of nations to be played. men produced to be injanuary? england's mel reid has fallen down the leaderboard at the women's pga championship in minnesota, and is now one over par for the tournament. so way behind leader, australian hannah green, on seven under par. she's only made one bogey over 36 holes at hazelteen, and green is only, in her second full year on the lpga tour could this be her first title. mercedes hope to continue their dominance in france today ahead of tomorrow's grand prix. valteri bottas was quickest in the second practice session, with lewis hamiltonjust behind him. the british world champion had been fastest in first practice. practice three gets under way at 11am today —

with qualifying starting at two. you can listen to it live on radio 5 live sport. there's no stopping the top two, in rugby league's super league. warrington remain second after beating wakefield while the leaders st helens continued their dominance with a 36—10 win over struggling leeds rhinos. louis mccarthy—scarsbrook, with two of their tries. there were wins too for salford and wigan. it's considered to be the ultimate test of sporting prowess. this week the modern pentathlon world cup final takes place injapan and the british team includes the current men's world champion. but, if all five events feels a bit out of reach, there's now a safe way to try out the last two disciplines — how is your running and shooting? i am pretty good at it. running and shooting. i've been to bath to join the british team and find out more. it's one of the oldest 0lympic sports, and in the 19th century was developed to test the skills of the ideal soldier: the ability to run to and from battle, to shoot your opponent, to put them to the sword,

to swim with power and speed and to get on an unknown horse and clear whatever obstacles get in your way. this is where my pentathlon challenge would end. in fact, the showjumping might put many off getting involved in this sport, but now there's a way for all of us to get a taste of what the athletes do. now there's the laser run. it's still the finale for the elite pentathletes from team gb here, but it's also a sport in its own right which is on tour for everyone to have a go at it this summer. it's simply running and shooting lasers. you've got 50 seconds — ah — to hit the target five times. and the athletes have already gone. running and shooting used to be separate events in pentathlon, but they're now combined to make the last stages of a competition more exciting. athletes have to run 800m, hit five targets and then repeat three more times. a scaled—down version of laser run with shorter distances will now be taken around towns and cities this summer and the lasers are so safe, the athletes can run behind the targets as they lapped me. it's a fantastic sport because it's relatively quick, the equipment‘s provided

for you and the safety of the lasers is brilliant because you can host it in schools and town centres and get a great atmosphere. it's the entry drug we hope for modern pentathlon, long—term. we are hoping that with all these youngsters coming in to try laser run, they'll then get the idea of trying three or four different sports and then ultimately leading onto trying modern pentathlon. the athletes make it look so easy, but once i'd been running, making the targets turn green with an accurate shot was so much of a challenge. it's exciting because you can see where the winner or the leader is got your eye on them and you are trying to catch them

but you've also got to keep composed in the shooting, because it can be won or lost on the shooting range. before they even get to the laser run, they've already been put through the mill starting with a 200m swim. many of the british team heading to the world cup in tokyo this weekend started as swimmers. 0nce they've dried off, though, they have to face 35 other opponents in the fencing. it's one strike now and you win. you have to be very tactical and committed for that one hit in one minute. oh, it's over, the bell has gone. contest is done. well done. these days, all five events are held one stadium overfive hours and with the laser run finale, it often comes down to the wire, like world championships last year, whenjamie cook's french opponent just started celebrating a fraction too early. i can remember a lot of pain, that's all i can remember. 0bviously with the altitude in mexico city, i was really suffering. he looked at me afterwards and said, i was so stupid. i said, i can't disagree with that. jamie would settle for a similar close finish and victory in the european championships here in bath this august. it is all happening in pentathlon.

there will be training in bath in august. then you have the laser run, the british championship this weekend in the west midlands and the world cup final in tokyo this week. you will tell us more a little bit later on stop pointing, it's very stop knickers got the weather. good morning. hopefully i'm allowed to rave my arms around. i would struggle with doing that. here is a lovely view of sign—up in devon. a lovely start of the day, not just here but devon. a lovely start of the day, notjust here but across much of the uk. we are set for a stunning start to the weekend. it will feel warmer in the sunshine. whether changes are just around the corner, and we will get to those shortly. high—pressure

nominating, which is why it is settled. we got down to close to freezing in scotland, parts of eastern england have some cloud, and both areas will see that breaking up. some stray showers across northern ireland and scotland, but most northern ireland and scotland, but m ost pla ces northern ireland and scotland, but most places dry. 18—21widely, 22 in cardiff and london. very high pollen levels, so not everyone enjoying what is going on. fine this evening and overnight foremost. some areas still with some showers in northern ireland and scotland. whether changes starting to happen. this area of low pressure is getting closer, along with this weather front. high—pressure beginning to move away. after a fine start tomorrow we will notice the breeze picking up from the south—east, more cloud around, and eventually the odd

shower, maybe thunderstorm, breaking out. this weather front will be turning things wetter. some of this. the term thundery as the day goes on. it will feel a little warmer, could be a bit cooler, but humid in the south—east. thunderstorms across parts of england and. thundery rain moving north, a bit of rain in northern ireland but it looks like thundery bursts will be across. central and eastern scotland with some prolonged rainfall. even up to 100 millimetres in wetter spots. a big variety of rain totals, but there is potential for big variety of rain totals, but there is potentialfor some flooding and disruption. it is looking quite stormy to start the week in places,

there will still be some sunshine around. the second half of the week is looking mainly dry with some sunshine. not all turning hot, but some will. 30 or 31 degrees looks like the temperature that it may peek at. not everyone's cup of tea. some thunderstorms could be around that could cause some problems, especially earlier in the week. there are always some caveats with the weather! now, it is time for newswatch. hello and welcome to newswatch with me, rebecca jones. borisjohnson said there was a risk of a cacophony in televised debates between those wanting to leave the conservative party. did tuesday's programme prove him right? and how come questions were raised about two members of the

public who asked questions on the programme? in the process of whittling down the candidates for the leadership of the conservative party to the two that we have left now, the live television debate on bbc one was a significant staging post. it was a chance to see the five contenders debate with each other and answer questions put to them by members of the public. but it resulted in questions being levelled at the bbc itself. would you at that point say, we are almost there... i share michael's... brexit was top of the agenda but at times, everyone wanted their say at the same time. plenty of questions, one of them from an imam

who it later emerged had shared anti—semitic tweets, allegedly. the bbc said it had only come to light after he had reactivated his twitter profile. another contributor was a solicitor who had previously done some work for the labour party and once stood as a councillor. both were suspended from theirjobs after tuesday's broadcast. 0n the night there was more focus on the look of the programme. why did rory stewart take off his tie? which boy band do the five politicians most resemble? what was the most elegant way of sitting on those tall stools? more substantial questions were also raised over how much the presenter, emily maitlis, interrupted her guests, especially borisjohnson, and whether the whole exercise had informed the audience about our potential next prime minister or provided more heat than light.

we asked bbc news for someone to come on the programme to discuss those questions but our request was declined. instead we are joined by two viewers who contacted us this week. with me is neville and in a cambridge studio is philip, a member of the conservative party who stood this year for election to the local council. welcome to you both. philip, because you are a member of the conservative party, you are one of the few people who can actually vote on who our next prime minister will be, so i wondered how much did the programme help you make up your mind? it didn't really add to my knowledge of them because perhaps when you know about them before, the programme seemed so awkward. it was sitting on bar stools as if they were entering a pub quiz. no live audience. emily maitlis was to one side

of the stage and i think she should have been in the middle, facing them, looking at each candidate equally. it was quite a strange set up. i wondered if it was fair on the candidates. you raise some interesting points. neville, what did you think? it's difficult to fathom what the answers where that the candidates were giving because they didn't have enough time, apart from being constantly interrupted by emily maitlis, particularly who seems to have it in for borisjohnson. wasn't that because it was the first time that he had been under any kind of public scrutiny? i don't think that makes any difference whatsoever. what did you learn about the candidates' different policies? not a lot, because there wasn't time for them to expand on them. the bbc has given is a statement about the programme and told us...

philip, more than 5 million people watched this programme. how satisfied are you with that response from the bbc? not really, because i've highlighted more than a few examples of things that weren't mentioned, immigration, a driving factor in the result of the referendum, and business was only mentioned byjeremy hunt once and it's going to be the driving factor for the prosperity of our country, and no mention of what they are going to do with business rates. limited information about the increase in public spending and no mention of the truly terrible levels of mental health care in the national health service. a whole series of things that would interest the whole country,

notjust london. perhaps these things were not raised because we were restricted to those questions from people, i don't know how they were chosen, it's since been shown that at least two of them were on the dodgy side. neville, what did you think of the choice of questions that were selected and put to the candidates? as philip has said, not wide—ranging enough and also i felt that emily was more concentrating on the candidates' past misdemeanours, so—called misdemeanours, than what they are going to propose for the country in the future. philip, you mentioned two of the questions. i want to put a statement to you from the bbc, it said...

do you accept that the bbc went through a vetting process and at the time the members of the public managed to avoid it? and what more could bbc have done? i don't know how they go about fighting but when you've got an individual, i think he was from bristol, who questioning the misdemeanours of politicians who lead a very public life and scrutinise on everything they do and he is guilty of the same misdemeanours, it's shocking it wasn't picked up. neville, what are your thoughts about the questions in the vetting? i agree with philip, it just seems ludicrous that they should have somebody accusing borisjohnson in effect of the same kind of hate

thought that he has professed to have done himself. whatever you think of boris johnson, at worst he may be flippant. philip, what difference do you think a studio audience might have made to the programme? i think it would have had an immediacy to it, i think people would have probably been shouting from the floor but it's down to the chairperson to control the audience and the candidates but you could have got a slightly different angle when somebody is rambling on a little bit, and borisjohnson, michael gove particularly, they are masters of the english language but they sometimes abuse it and as we have seen, we want pertinent, relevant answers to questions raised and that could be from a live audience or from the chairperson.

but at the end of the day, isn't it the responsibility of the politicians not to speak over each other and allow each other to make their points? absolutely and they need to understand sitting at home we cannot hear what they are saying when they are all talking together. philip and neville, thank you both very much indeed forjoining us. sunday's late news programme on bbc 0ne told us the day's cricket match between india and pakistan had attracted a global television audience of more than 1 billion people. that figure has been disputed but there was no denying the passion and the noise shown by supporters of both teams. some of them made their presence felt during the report on the game. all the anticipation, this is pretty much one—sided. if you couldn't work out what was being said there,

you are not alone and sarah was prompted to write: before we go, the latest in our occasional series of technical mishaps on bbc news. not for the first time, simon mccoy was involved presenting on monday when this happened...

good afternoon, i think it's still afternoon... responses on twitter were varied... thank you for your comments this week. please do get in touch with your opinions about what you see on bbc tv news online or on social media. you might even appear on the programme. have a look at previous

interviews on our website. that's all from us. we'll be back to hear your thoughts next week. for me, thanks for watching and bye—bye.
