good morning. welcome to bbc news. police were called to the home of the conservative leadership candidate boris johnson and his partner in the early hours of friday morning in london — after a neighbour reportedly heard a noisy row. the guardian newspaper says a neighbour recorded some of the alleged argument in which mrjohnson‘s partner carrie symonds can be heard saying "get off me". the metropolitan police say no offences have been committed. a spokesman for mrjohnson has said "no comment". our political correspondent helen wilkinson is here. good morning to you. tell us what is said to have happened. the flat we are talking about is shared with mrjohnson and his pan in south—east london. it was in the early hours of friday morning that officers went to that flight. this morning that officers went to that flight. this has come about because the guardian newspaper had a recording from a neighbour of mr johnson. this in may be recording in their flat of the alleged row and what the neighbours said she had, a

woman screaming, what the neighbours said she had, a woman screaming, followed by slamming and banging. important to stress that we have not heard the recording ourselves. there is also indie regarding mrjohnson‘s pattern is alleged to be heard as saying, get off me and get out of my flat. he can be heard refusing to leave the flat telling him to get off his la ptop the flat telling him to get off his laptop before the loud bang. and his partner in that recording is allegedly heard to say, you just don't care for anything because you are spoilt, you have no care for money or anything. we have a statement from the police, they have confirmed they went to the property in the early hours of friday, they responded, they were —— there was concerns for a female neighbour. they went to property, spoke to the occu pa nts, they went to property, spoke to the occupants, all were safe and well, the police said. no offences or

concerns apparent to the officers and there was no cause for police action. in terms of with the police, no further action or investigation from them. we have tried to get in touch with a spokesperson for boris johnson. no comment, that is not a denial. in terms of what the newspapers are said and there is a suggestion in the story that police initially were not able to say that they had been called. it appears that the guardian newspaper had got this recording made by a neighbour of mrjohnson, they then went to the metropolitan police press office, i assume, they contacted them and asked them whether they had a record of a domestic incident at the address. at the guardian says is that they were not given any information, they went back to whoever they were talking to at the met police, they gave a case number, reference number as well as id markings of the vehicles call

out, and then at that point the met provided the statement and i know from our own experiences, i don't know what happened, but when you phone up the met, often you go with a bit of information and you have to go with a bit more. if it had not been classified as a domestic incident because no action was taken, then it might not have come up was taken, then it might not have come up on was taken, then it might not have come up on the computer. there could be an entirely innocent explanation. these afternoon, but this is supposed to be about, the leadership debate to become prime minister, jeremy hunt, mrjohnson‘s challenger, telling him to be more visible in debates before the ballot papers go out. he has said this before about boris johnson. he has been criticised in the past for not being transparent and getting out there... he wasn't in the first tv debate. he wasn't in the first tv debate. he took part in the bbc debate on tuesday, but whatjeremy hunt says is the ballot papers land on

people's letterboxes injuly. the next scheduled tv debate is supposed to ta ke next scheduled tv debate is supposed to take place on the 9th ofjuly. whatjeremy hunt is saying is that we should be debating this much sooner. sooner. let's hear what mr hunt had to say. burris challenged me to do the itv debate, i was very happy to accept, until i realised the debate is so far ahead that people will have already started voting before it happens and i think we should be doing debates early, often. if the party wants him to battle against nigel farage, jeremy corbyn, 27 eu countries, then surely it is not a big deal to go outside against a friendly foreign secretary. with the hustings, they take place this afternoon, we will be able to watch it, cameras are allowed, the media may not ask you questions. it is just media may not ask you questions. it isjust for media may not ask you questions. it is just for the atari membership, they are the ones that will decide

who the next leader is. they decide the fate of the party and the country as well, thank you, helen. the debate will be live on the bbc news channel this afternoon. that is between, starting at about three o'clock in the afternoon. we will be covering that live on the bbc news channel. before that, we will be hearing from a conservative event taking place in central london this morning which jeremy event taking place in central london this morning whichjeremy hunt is expected to be speaking. president trump is that he is not looking for a war with trump is that he is not looking for a warwith iran, trump is that he is not looking for a war with iran, but if it happens it would lead to obliteration. iranian forces shut down an american surveillance drone on thursday. mr trump and three air strikes in response, but he told an american network he called them off within minutes because too many people would have died. did you green light something or you

said we will do this? what was the order? nothing has been green—lighted until the end. you never gave a final order? we had something ready to go subject to my approval and they came in and about half an hour before, they said we are about ready to go. i said, i wa nt we are about ready to go. i said, i want a better definition... planes in the air? no, but they would have been pretty soon. no, but they would have been pretty soon. and things would have happened toa soon. and things would have happened to a point where you would nudge him back i couldn't turn back. so they came and said, sir, we are ready to 90, came and said, sir, we are ready to go, iwant came and said, sir, we are ready to go, i want a decision. i said i want to know something before you go. how many people will be killed? in this case, iranians. isaid how many people will be killed? so, i would like to get back to you on that. great people, these generals. they said, sir, approximately 150. and i thought about it for a second. i said, they shut down an unmanned drone, playing, whatever you want to

call it and here we are sitting with 150 dead people that would have taken place probably within 30 minutes of me saying go ahead. and i didn't like it, i did not think it was proportional. let me bring you some breaking news following on from a donald trump's remarks and the near decision for a military strike on iran. andrew murie said he was minister of state for the middle east at the british foreign office will be travelling to iranfora foreign office will be travelling to iran for a senior level talks with iran's government. he will be in iran's government. he will be in iran on the 23rd ofjune, so that is tomorrow. the uk is being pointed out by the foreign office has diplomatic dialogue with iran and will be in constructive talks with the government about the future of the government about the future of the nuclear idea which is part of the nuclear idea which is part of the reason why this new conflict has

arisen with iran. let's speak with our middle east analyst. the government is saying the uk remains fully committed. this is a source of obvious tension between the british and americans and the events of the last 48 hours will only act to that. everybody watching developments over the last 48 hours is extraordinarily concerned. the stakes here are enormously high. we heard president trump saying that with just minutes to spare, a really major assault on iranian targets was called off. it could have had the most enormous consequences. although there is no shooting war yet, a war of words goes on. we have heard from tehran, foreign ministry official praising the missile crew that brought down the missile crew that brought down the drone, the expensive piece of

spywa re, the drone, the expensive piece of spyware, saying again that any threat to territorial integrity will be counted. hearing from an armed forces spokesman speaking with fiery language that any mistake by america or its friends would be like firing ona or its friends would be like firing on a powder keg. but imparting to say that these are pretty low level figures that we have been hearing from this mining is that we haven't heard from the men who really count over the last 48 hours or so, like president rohani are the country's supreme president rohani are the country's supreme leader. and who knows quite what diplomacy there may be going on behind the scenes. we hear none of that. the british and many others are may be hoping the swiss or a man is maybe sending messages. i suppose the usefulness of this visit is what britain is able to relate back to the united states, both in terms of information, but also in terms of advice, suggestions

of perhaps a happy temperature could be lowered. what you say is potentially at high situation, one which one misjudgement or misinterpretation could be very serious. there is the foreign ministry figure from the uk with a fantastic chance to read the mood and gauge the atmosphere up close. but that information will be coming back to washington. the iranians reached out to swiss diplomats to send a warning letter to washington so that the swiss are in play here. 0ften letter to washington so that the swiss are in play here. often the gulf state of a man gets involved in mediation between the west and iran are times of tension for gives the 0manis who played a part in the whole arriving clerks over the nuclear deal that was so important. they could get involved again easily. it is extraordinary to imagine,

think about your period working in the middle east where you are based very long time understanding the interconnection with iran over other aspects of the middle east. iran and the united states have not had diplomatic relations, at least officially, for 40 years now. that is right. an extraordinarily poisonous cult relationship between these two countries was of a relationship of which i would say the average american knows very little of the background. iranians remember the coup back in the early 50s that toppled the government. and the british very much involved. and the british very much involved. and the americans fully behind the implanting of the shah of iran and all that about men. and then much more recently the iranian government would be appalled by the fact that the americans have pulled out of that a deal that was worked out over

so that a deal that was worked out over so many years by diplomats of western and iranian diplomats with a continual sense in iran that they are betrayed by the likes of america, at least that is the feeling among those in the regime at the top of the power structure. thank you so much for that. if you are thank you so much for that. if you a re interested thank you so much for that. if you are interested in getting a flavour of those times allen was talking about, there is a terrific podcast called the fall of the shah which is definitely worth listening to. 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. adina campbell has been to meet the former raf serviceman at a family get—together in west yorkshire. 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.

90 years more than you! it has emerged that police were called to home of borisjohnson and his partner in their day out at a neighbour said she heard a loud argument. jeremy hunt challenges mr johnson to take part in a televised debate earlier than planned before the ballot papers are sent out. the pair will take part the ballot papers are sent out. the pairwill take part in the ballot papers are sent out. the pair will take part in the first of a nationwide hustings tour today. a war of words between iran and the united states has continued. president trump says he decided to call ofair president trump says he decided to call of air strikes at the last minute was a british government says a foreign minister will visit iran tomorrow for talks.

andy murray is back at queens this afternoon and mike bushell will be watching. very good morning to you. we will have a chance to see if andy murray and his partner can complete their doubles match. we will hear about that any moment. first, we are focusing on a big shock at the cup of cricket. —— world cup of cricket. england have work to do now, if the hosts are to reach the semi—finals of the cricket world cup after their shock defeat to sri lanka. ex captain michael vaughan says, the cat is among the pigeons now, and they're under huge pressure. 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. there's coverage right now of india against afghanistan on radio five live sport extra. 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 43 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 knockout phase 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 valencien, having won all three of their games in the group stages. you can watch it live tomorrow on bbc one.

phil neville believes his team can still improve, even though that 100% record. the bigger tests are still to come and i still think there's another 15, 20% from the team in terms of performance levels. we are in a good place to attack the last 16. when you come out the group stages in a major tournament, that is when you've got to start enjoying it even more. and start focusing that all on winning. it's all gone horribly wrong for england's promising under—21 team. remember some of these players were world champions at under—i7 level. and had high hopes, but a crazy six goals towards the end in italy last night, meant they lost 4—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. mercedes hope to continue their dominance in france today

ahead of tomorrow's grand prix. valterri 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 ”am today — with qualifying starting at two. you can listen to it live on radio five 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. andy ruinunior has revealed how he's been enjoying his success since become world heavyweight champion. ruiz became the wba, wbo and ibf belt holder when he knocked out britain's anthonyjoshua in new york at the start of this month. he admits he's used his new found wealth to make amends with one person in particular. i bite a carfor my mum, that was the first purchase i made from the

money i got, i bite my mum a car because i messed up a lot of her because i messed up a lot of her because when i was young. so i got her a brand—new car. i bet his mum is pleased to! that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. a consortium of business leaders is urging the next prime minister to fully commit to the hs2 high speed rail link. they say it will address regional differences in investment levels "once and for all." our business correspondent, katy austin is here. thank you for coming in. on the background, because we were on hs2 and people thought, remind me, where is that going to? this is about connecting london to the rest of the country, the idea is to spread economic growth and improve rail capacity as well as dub it would go from london to birmingham initially and then onwards to leeds and manchester. the government has restated its

commitment to getting hs to built earlier this year, it has, it doesn't have yet, but there are 9000 people working on the project, but the project has critics was that there are those that disagree with there are those that disagree with the roots, continued speculation and scrutiny about whether hs2 can comment within its cost but it was that the government thinks it will cost £56 billion. there is scrutiny whether it is deliverable in its current form. along those that have put questions to hs to whether it is deliverable and value for money, is borisjohnson who is one of the two remaining tory leadership candidates was to that he say reviewed and end hs2, where is jeremy was to that he say reviewed and end hs2, where isjeremy hunt, the other tory leadership candidate now, has a pa rt tory leadership candidate now, has a part of the project. you can understand why some would be worried. how do they deal with this argument that... part of the reason for the doubts is there is an enormous amount of money being spent for a bit of rail line that will

speed up trains to birmingham but they are quite fast are ready to london and a debate that goes and says, actually, nailed down, when and how the money and are the rest of it for the next stage. there is lots of scrutiny over this, but the business groups in particular are mostly from the north of england so the people who say, our region really needs to benefit from growth are being spread out from growth are being spread out from the extra capacity that can be delivered on our current rail network. so it didn't happen it would not just be inconvenient for people travelling in the region but it would cut down companies starting to grow in the north of england. exactly, yes and there is a point to this. part of the reason they are asking for the vocal and unwavering support from whoever comes prime minister is there is another proposed rail project that would link up northern cities between themselves and that is known as northern powerhouse rail. they are indicating some alarm over whether that depends on hs2 and the

connections it would provide and the eisai it faces a power shortage of hs2 isn't backed. and given we know it is going to be virusjohnson archerjeremy and given we know it is going to be virus johnson archerjeremy hunt and given we know it is going to be virusjohnson archerjeremy hunt who will be prime minister and jeremy hunt says he's behind it, this can only be aimed at borisjohnson. it is fairto only be aimed at borisjohnson. it is fair to say that is why this rallying call might have been done now. it is also the fifth anniversary of the northern powerhouse at the moment. it can't bea powerhouse at the moment. it can't be a coincidence that there has been a call from boris johnson be a coincidence that there has been a call from borisjohnson to review the project. we asked the department for transport about this, pointed out there are people working on the project, they pointed out the proposed economic benefits but they said it is not an either or between hs2 or northern powerhouse rail. so they are both needed, they do not see it as a choice between one or the other. they said the full benefits of the northern powerhouse rail can only be delivered off the back of hst. this will not be the last we hear about this going forward.

thank you very much. churches could become safe spaces for children at risk of becoming victims of knife crime under plans to be discussed at next month's meeting of church of england leaders. 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. now it's time for a look at the weather. nicely timed for the start of the weekend, it is high—pressure and settled weather out there for many of us, starting the day like this with a view from cumbria early and skies will stay like this. a slight chance of isolated shower, vast majority will stay dry and it will feel a bit warmer. this is how it is looking, low pressure eventually will come in later this week and into monday, but for now it is high—pressure in control and that is why we are expecting to get a fine

on saturday. some cloud in the eastern part of england with some showers are possible, greater chance of the showers in northern scotland and where it has been cloudy in northern ireland, sunny spells developing first up around 18 to 21 degrees. very high pollen levels in england and wales. 0vernight, so the chance of a shower in northern scotland, variable cloud, clear spells elsewhere. teasers of outbreaks of rain is going to the south—west of england later in the night. not quite as chilly as it was last night. back to the big picture, looking up at two of the weekend and the area of low pressure getting closer and throwing the weather front towards the south—west. high—pressure still in control elsewhere for now, but after a fine start, there will be increasing cloud across the uk, the breeze sta rts cloud across the uk, the breeze starts to pick up, may be some showers breaking out, they are to thundery one, but the main area of rain from the weather front edging a crust more of south—west
