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 police say all occupants of the house were safe and well when officers called. a spokesman for mrjohnson has said "no comment". earlier i got more details from our political correspondent helena wilkinson. the flat that we are talking about isa the flat that we are talking about is a flat that mrjohnson shares with his partner in south east london. it was the early hours of friday morning when officers from the met police went to the flat. this has come about because the guardian newspaper had a recording from a neighbour of mrjohnson, this neighbour made the recording in their flat, of the alleged row. neighbour made the recording in theirflat, of the alleged row. what theirflat, of the alleged row. what the neighbour said she heard, the woman screaming, a woman screaming followed by the slamming and

banging. it's important to stress we haven't heard the recording ourselves. there is also, in the recording, mrjohnson's partner is alleged to be heard saying get off me and get out of my flat. mr johnson apparently can be heard refusing to leave the flat, telling her to get off his laptop before the loud bang. his partner, in that recording, is allegedly heard to say, you just don't care for anything because you're spiked. you have no care for money or anything. we've had a statement from the metropolitan police who have confirmed that they went to the property in the early hours of friday, they responded to a call, somebody found them and said they we re somebody found them and said they were concerned for the welfare of a female neighbour, they went to that property, spoke to the occupants, all were safe and well. the police said no offences or concerns are apparent to the officers, there was no cause for police action. so they

will be no further action or investigation from them. we have come as you mention, try to get in touch with a spokesperson for boris johnson, no comment, that's not a denial. in terms of what the newspaper said, there is a suggestion that police initially weren't able to say that they had been called. it appears that the guardian newspaper have got this recording made by a neighbour of mrjohnson, they then went to the metropolitan police, the press office, i assume, contacted them and asked whether they had a record of a domestic incident at the address. watch the guardian says is that they weren't given any information, they went back to whoever they were talking to at the met police, gave a case and reference number as well as id markings of the vehicles called out, and then, at that point, the met provided the statement. i know from

our own experience as journalist, when you phone up the met often you go with a bit of information, you have to go back with a bit more. go with a bit of information, you have to go back with a bit morelj suppose if it hadn't been classified asa suppose if it hadn't been classified as a domestic incident, because no action was taken, then it might not have come out on the computer. they could be an innocent explanation. this afternoon the focus shifts to what this is supposed to be about, the leadership debate, will become the leadership debate, will become the tory leader and prime minister. jeremy hunt, the challenger, urging burris to be a bit more visible in terms of debate. what's that about? he has said this about borisjohnson before, he's been criticised for not being transparent and getting out there, and being he wasn't in the first tv debate at all. the channel for one, no, he took part in the bbc 0ne for one, no, he took part in the bbc one on tuesday. jeremy hunt is saying that the ballot papers land to people's letterboxes between the

sixth and 8th ofjuly, the next scheduled tv debate is meant to take place on the 9th ofjuly. what jeremy hunt is saying that actually, we should be debating much sooner. let's hear what mr hunt had to say. boris challenged me to the itv debate and i was happy to accept until i realised the debate is so far ahead that people will have already started voting. before it happens. we should be doing debate early, often, and you know, if the party wa nts early, often, and you know, if the party wants him to battle nigel farage, jeremy corbyn and 27 eu countries, then surely, it's not such a big deal to go out against a friendly foreign secretary? in terms of castings, they take place this afternoon in birmingham. we'll be able to watch it, cameras are being allowed in, but the media are not allowed in, but the media are not allowed to ask any questions. it's for the tory membership. they will decide who the next leader is. helena wilkinson talking to me

earlier. the foreign office has announced one of its ministers would be in announced one of its ministers would beina announced one of its ministers would be in a run tomorrow to raise concerns about the countryside to breach the nuclear deal. it raining additions will be called on for an urgent de—escalation. the news comes after president cam said he is not looking for war with iran, but if it happens it would lead to obliteration. iranian forces shot down an american surveillance drone on thursday and mr trump ordered three air strikes in response. but he told the american television network nbc that he called them off with minutes to spare because too many people would have died. did you green light something, or had you said, if we do it, i do this? nothing was green-lighted until the very end, because things change. but we had something ready to go, subject to my approval. they came in about half—an—hour before

and said we are about ready to go, and said we are about ready to go, andl and said we are about ready to go, and i said... planes were in the air? know, but they would have been pretty soon. things would have happened to a point where you couldn't turn back. so they came, they said, sir, we are ready to go, andl they said, sir, we are ready to go, and i said i want to know something before you go. how many will be killed? in this case, iranians. how many people will be killed? so, i'll get back to you on that. they are great people, these generals. they came back and said, sir, approximately 150. and i thought about it for a second and said, you know what, they shout down an unmanned drone, a plane, whatever you call it, and here we are sitting with 150 dead people that would have taken with 150 dead people that would have ta ken place with 150 dead people that would have taken place within half—an—hour after i said go ahead. and i didn't like it. i didn't think it was proportionate. that was president

champ speaking which will be broadcast this weekend. well speaking to the bbc, seyed sajjadpour, one of iran's deputy foreign ministers says iran would not wabnt to start a war but would retaliate if provoked. you have to be careful in what you say. first of all, i have to say iran has said that we are not for starting a war. but if we are attacked, we will defend our country. i think it is a natural response of any human being, when you are attacked, you will defend. but we don't initiate. let's speak to the former iranian diplomat at the iranian centre for policy studies, mehrdad khonsari. this is a very delicate weekend in terms of relations between iran anne

western countries. what do you make of what we've learned in the last couple of days that they were military strikes planned but mr trump pulled back because he said up to 150 could have died, and that wouldn't have been proportionate to what iran have done. that is certainly a viable explanation, but you have to bear in mind that the americans were also concerned because there are many american personnel that are also being extracted. it is conceivable that iran could have retaliated with rocket attacks, with american personnel being at large. so, while president trump's action has defused the prices. the evacuation has increased tensions and possibilities for further action. increased tensions and possibilities forfurther action. unless increased tensions and possibilities for further action. unless some sort of sanity prevails. you use the word sanity, one of the things that struck me, forcibly, is

that iran and the usa have had no diplomatic relations for a0 years, that must be, kinda, globally, unprecedented. particularly for a major superpower and the country, that whether america or britain like it or not is actually pivotal in the middle absolutely. and the iranian government, through its sloganeering, and i have to say, slogans that are a0 years old, but which the present government and system has inherited, it cannot use, and cannot discard the it can't go from being the enemy to our best mate. no, it has only worked against the interests of the iranian people and nation. they have to get out of the system, one is for sure. we are in that language, the little satan, that language, the little satan, that we do have relations. what is

the potential of this visit by the minister at the foreign office to tehran tomorrow? coming on the back of visits from other eu ministers and the japanese prime minister, the idea is to try and encourage some kind of dialogue, between iran and the usa. iran is a bad situation, the usa. iran is a bad situation, the iranian economy is suffering, believing and people are suffering. these cannot be alleviated until such time that the sanctions are removed. sanctions cannot be removed u nless removed. sanctions cannot be removed unless there is dialogue, and communication with the united states. briefly, if iran were to do something like release nazarene radcliffe, that would be quite a useful pr move, wouldn't it, from and is rainy in? —— from an iranians point of view? it could be seen as some people inside iran as a sign of

weakness. these are things to consider. the point of that, going into the table with the americans, something the supreme leader of iran has been reluctant to do is because of iran's a weakness. but right now, refusing the offer that has been made could be a lost opportunity, because iran, if they were to accept negotiations at this time, they would be accepting it at a time when they are in a position of relative strength, on the back of events that have happened over the last few days. there is opportunity, but whether the sees it is another matter. absolutely. 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 the lucky ones. that's why i'm still here. there are four generations of this family, for children and 16 grandchildren, and more than 20 great—grandchildren. i left jamaica a long more than 20 great—grandchildren. i leftjamaica a long time ago. more than 20 great—grandchildren. i left jamaica a long time ago.|j more than 20 great—grandchildren. i left jamaica a long time ago. i was very bright, and i knew it at the time! where did you hear about the ship, and where did you go? we heard about it on the news. days before my brother was asked 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 problems. we had a right happy ship. there was nothing

much to do. we just enjoyed. about three days out of england, we were told, sleep as best you can, because it's cold. we had a good time. very good time. this wasn't his first time in the uk. hejoined the raf at the age of 18, and served in the second world war. what was your first meal? lamb chops! my very first meal? lamb chops! my very first night, we came and had dinner. and they were little bits of bone. soi and they were little bits of bone. so i took bits of the bone, and by the time i sat down, they were wrong to me because i'd stolen two rations! are you used to the cold yet? you never get used to it! how

old are you ? yet? you never get used to it! how old are you? my mother said i'm three. i'm 93. 93! 90 years more than you. he's 93 years young, by the sound of it. the headlines on bbc news... police were called to the home of the conservative leadership candidate boris johnson and the conservative leadership candidate borisjohnson and his partner on friday after a neighbour heard a loud argument. it comes as jeremy hunt challenges borisjohnson toa jeremy hunt challenges borisjohnson to a television debate earlier than planned, before ballot papers are sent out. the table take part in a series of nationwide testing this afternoon, the first in birmingham. president trump says he decided to call our there strikes at the last minute, the british government says a foreign minister will visit iran tomorrow for talks.

churches could become safe spaces for children at risk of being victims of knife crime. 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. we arejoined by we are joined by the reverend rosemary mallett who has a congregation in brixton in south london. rosemary, thank you very much for being with us this morning. in your own words, what are you proposing? we are proposing that churches open their buildings between 3pm and 6pm, flash points and times when young people turn out of school, before their parents get home, to have a space open that young people can come notjust space open that young people can come not just because space open that young people can come notjust because they are fleeing danger, but as a space of sanctuary for them to be able to go

m, sanctuary for them to be able to go in, relax, and get themselves you know, encouraged for the day ahead. sometimes, that may happen, but actually, quite often, there is less and less around here for young people, and more and more need for spacesin people, and more and more need for spaces in the community where young people can feel safe. churches, because they are a presence in every community, have the opportunity to open their doors and be that safe space. do you see the need in your own parish? most definitely. we have a number of schools in our parish, we already open on a monday to a primary school, for a couple of hours. for families and young people to come in and take time out, to use the facilities, play, and take time out, to use the facilities, play. pfgyr and take time out, to use the facilities, play, pray, and use the space in a way that they feel co mforta ble space in a way that they feel comfortable with. we feel that for secondary school students there is a need to provide a safe haven. it's

opportunity to do that. we are calling on churches to be open, to do that again, and notjust to do it, by opening the doors and not knowing what to do, but to also have opportunities for training, for understanding the challenges young people face, to be able to respond with knowledge and originality. you talked about the flash point between cpm and 6pm, why is that a period where the risk is greater? i'll be honest with you, most of the incidents i've heard about and reported on have happened in the evenings, at night. we don't hear of the situations when young people are threatened, when young people are threatened, when young people are bullied, and when young people are bullied, and when young people are wounded. we hear about the deaths, it's very, very sad. 100 this year already. 100 this year already. 100 deaths already this year, 22,000 incidents with knife crime. all those other incidents are

potentially happening to young people, at times when they feel u nsafe. people, at times when they feel unsafe. quite often, it's between the time of turning out from school, three or 3:15pm, and being able to get home safely. some have working pa rents, get home safely. some have working parents, into the evening and may not be able to get home and have space where they can feel safe. how does the church react to this suggestion, because there are practical concerns. a number of churches are locked these days, i know, living in london, because of concerns about people damaging them, or taking stuff from them, more and more vicars are responsible for more and more churches, so providing the ca re and more churches, so providing the care and support that young people when they come in sight is quite demanding. that's why we are saying that we wa nt that's why we are saying that we want churches to work in partnership with the community. it isn't to be the sole agency that offers that

support come over to work in collaboration and partnership with community groups, other organisations and people often providing youth work, but without the facilities. there are many detached youth workers and communities, but they don't have a space communities, but they don't have a space or communities, but they don't have a space or place where they can meet young people safely. and engage with them. churches have the opportunity to make their buildings available, and work in partnership with others in the community to do so. it's about a partnership, not about trying to be the solution, but being pa rt trying to be the solution, but being part of a solution. it's a multifactorial problem, and it needs a multi—agency response. the church asa a multi—agency response. the church as a space a multi—agency response. the church as a space that it can offer, into being part of that response. reverend rosemary mallett, thank you for talking to us. it would be good to see if the church seizes this opportunity. thank you for having me.

sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. good morning. looking forward to two more games at the cricket world cup. the west indies face new zealand at old trafford. the first is already under way in hampshire. india are taking on afghanistan. unbeaten so far having won three games with the others washed out. the afghans have lost all of their matches. india are huge favourites, a0 to one odds with the bookmakers, they won the task and opted to bat. and india are currently 61 a1. i'm just updating the scorecard there. they are now in the scorecard there. they are now in the 1ath over. there is full commentary on radio five live. 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. things didn't go too well with the

bat, ba i rstow things didn't go too well with the bat, bairstow was out for a golden duck. joe root is momentarily steadied the ship, but he fell to the finals. look how close that was england are still leading with one wicket remaining. it proved to be too much in the end and they were beaten by 20 runs, plenty of work to guarantee a spot in the semifinals with australia, india and new zealand to come. you look at the basics of a chase, partnerships are important and we struggled to get enough partnerships going. that's not good enough to win a game. i think when we get beaten we come back quite strong. we tend to resort to being aggressive, smart and positive. so let's hope that's the case on tuesday. andy murray's second match was suspended due to failing late at queen's club. marie

and his partner won the first set but they had to leave before nine with m5 forehead. the match will continue today after the semifinals. there is live coverage on bbc one from 1pm. it's the start of the knockout phase at the women's world cup in france and germany face nigeria this afternoon. later norway face australia. tomorrow england play cameroon in valencia, having won all three of their games, you can watch that live tomorrow afternoon at apm. despite having a 100% record so far phil neville believes his side can still improve as the tournament continues. the bigger test is still to come. another 15, 20% in this team. in terms of performance levels. you know, i would say we are in a good place to attack the last 16, and i a lwa ys place to attack the last 16, and i always think when you come out of the group stages that this is when you've got to earn your money, and

enjoy it even more. and start focusing that about winning. something that isn't winning is the england under 21 is. they were so promising. we are champions, some of these players with high hopes of going some way in italy. but six crazy girls towards the end and they last for two. romania were jubilant there. two goals later from the romanian sealed victory. andy ruiz junior has revealed how he is enjoying his success as he became world heavyweight champion. he became the wba wbo and ibf belt holder when he knocked out anthony joshua 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 bought a car for my mum. that was the first purchase i made from the money i got. i bought my mum a car, because i messed up a lot of her

ca rs because i messed up a lot of her cars when i was young! i got her a brand—new car. cars when i was young! i got her a brand-new car. it's never too late to make amends. just time to tell you that third practice is under way for the french grand prix. that's on bbc sport. that's all for now, no time for the weather. he is nick. nicely timed for the start of the weekend, high pressure is settled, for many of us we started the day like this. this was cambria earlier. sky stay like this throughout. a slight chance of an isolated shower, the vast majority stay dry. a bit warmer as well. this is the big picture. low pressure eventually comes in this weekend, into monday, for now high pressures in control, that's why we are expecting a fine saturday because the bulk of the uk. a bit of cloud across eastern parts of england, it may produce isolated showers and the greater chance of the art shower in northern scotland. cloudy so far in northern ireland

with sunny spells developing. 22 degrees in cardiff and london, high pollen levels though in england and wales. barbecues are in good shape this evening with the chance of showers in northern scotland and variable cloud elsewhere. hints of rain getting closer to the far south—west of england later in the night. not as chilly as last night. the big picture, part two of the weekend, pressure gets closer, so in this way the front towards the south—west of the uk. high pressure is still in control, but after a fine start they will be increasing cloud across the uk. their breeze picks up. one or two showers breaking out, the main area of rain from that by the front we saw just edging across south—west england, south—west wales, into northern ireland. it started to turn heavy, and sundry in places. a little bit warmer though, a touch cooler with a breeze. after a 25 celsius, but humid areas of south east england.

here is the rain for sunday and monday, yellow warnings for thunderstorms in wales and parts of england. northern ireland seeing some rain too. a big variety of rain totals possible, but some of us could see a lot of rain fairly short space of time as well. the potential for flooding and destruction space of time as well. the potential forflooding and destruction into monday as that pushes northwards to give a wet monday for some in scotland. up to 100 millimetres on higher ground. the potential for disruption. a storming start to the week, harter, 30, 30 one celsius in the hot spots. humid as well, not eve ryo ne the hot spots. humid as well, not everyone that heart. —— that hot.

hello, and welcome

to dateline london. i'm carrie gracie. this week — the us and iran, back from the brink, or toe to toe, with the rest of us roped behind them, on the very brink? and you know that old saying — "behind every great man, there's a great woman"? well, this weekend, british media focus on domestic arrangements for the next resident of number 10 downing st. my my guests today do, political commentator tim montgomerie, writer and broadcaster geoffrey coffman, mina al—0raibi, editor of in english language news service for the middle east. with warplanes already in the air, he stopped to think. in a series of tweets on friday, president trump confirmed what us media had reported the night before — that the us intended to retaliate after iran shot down its spy drone,
