this is bbc news. the headlines at 6pm. there's focus on boris johnson's private life after he failed to answer questions about why police were called to his partner's flat following reports of a row. his opponent for the leadership says he should answer questions about his brexit plans. it is no way to become prime minister by ducking these questions, and he is not answering them. the united states reportedly launched a cyber attack on iranian weapons systems on thursday as president trump pulled out of air strikes on the country. neither iran nor any other hostile act should mistake us prudence and discretion for weakness. five people are arrested over alleged accounting fraud at the bakery chain,

patisserie valerie. and england are 3—0 up against cameroon in the woman's world cup. there's continued focus on borisjohnson‘s private life after he failed to answer questions at a conservative leadership debate about why police were called to his partner's flat following reports of a row. his supporters, including the cabinet minister liz truss, say he should bejudged on his policies, not his personal life. but others, like international trade secretary liam fox, who's backing jeremy hunt, said today mrjohnson should have given an explanation of what happened. here's our political correspondent nick eardley.

often in the headlines, this time for the wrong reasons. after police were called to the flat borisjohnson shares with his girlfriend, mrjohnson has been reluctant to explain. i don't think they want to hear about that kind of thing, er... applause. but this senior tory, who's backing mrjohnson‘s leadership rivaljeremy hunt, said an explanation would be sensible. it's always easier to just give an explanation, but i think the key thing is then how you get on the issues. what we can't have is it being a distraction from explanations about wider policy. mrjohnson‘s team say he has never answered questions about his private life and won't start now. his supporters say we should move on. the police were called to an incident and what they say? they said everybody was safe, everybody was well, there was no concerns that the officers had and there was no cause for any further action. given that's what the police said and it's clearly a private incident, i wasn't there, you weren't there, i think we should just leave it at that.

so that is the view of thejohnson camp, if you like. i suppose the wider question is what impact is this going to have on the leadership contest? the question of character is crucial to this, ben. you can'tjust remove somebody‘s life from the campaign to be the prime minister. jeremy hunt, his rival, has made clear that he thinks

but the front runner to be prime minister is no stranger to controversy. scotland's first minister suggested he was racist for comments he's made in the past, like comparing women wearing the muslim veil to letterboxes. boris johnson has made overtly racist comments, people who are prepared to make comments like that can't suddenly throw their hands up in horror when people call them out for it and say that they appear to be racist as a result of it. the first thing we need to do — you know what it is — we need to get brexit done. at the heart of the leadership contest are questions about brexit. both sides made their case at a hustings in birmingham yesterday. liam fox suggested some of borisjohnson‘s claims about what would happen if we leave without a deal are wrong. but mrjohnson‘s supporters say their man can deliver. we need a leader with a determination to follow through, go through to the 31st of october, leave, preferably with a deal but without a deal if necessary. he will be asked many more questions over the next few weeks, but for now, he's the man to beat. speaking a few moments ago in scotland, jeremy hunt was asked about borisjohnson‘s refusal to explain what happened when police were called to his partner's flat in the early hours of friday morning. mr hunt called on mrjohnson to do more

live tv debates and interviews, saying his opponent is avoiding answering important questions. it is up to him what he says, but i don't think the public and i don't think the conservative party members wa nt think the conservative party members want a big debate about people's personal lives, they want a proper debate about how we are going to get out of the brexit constitutional crisis that we are in, and my challenge to boris johnson crisis that we are in, and my challenge to borisjohnson is very simply this, come and do live tv debates with me, come and do interviews with andrew marr, interviews with andrew marr, interviews on the today programme, because it is no way to become prime minister by ducking these very important questions, and so far he is not answering them. the foreign secretary was also asked whether mrjohnson becoming prime minister could boost support for scottish independence. mr hunt said any prime minister had to be careful to avoid fostering divsion in handling brexit. i sincerely hope that whoever becomes prime minister does not allow that to happen, because frankly the best thing about our country are the four nations of the uk, that is what has made us one of the greatest countries on the planet, so any prime minister has to be careful in the way we handle brexit not to allow it to add fuel to the independence fire, because people in scotland do not want another independence referendum, that issue was settled, and they want to get on and see the government here getting on improving the lives of families in scotland. i spoke to our chief political correspondent vicki young over the scrutiny over borisjohnson‘s

private life. i know that there is an awful lot of confidence about mr johnson being the front runner, but his team have always been cautious, and there are 15 more hustings to come. their point is that boris johnson has never answered questions about his private life, but i remember one occasion that he denied an affair, but it turned out to be true, which led to his sacking a long time ago. this was under michael howard. he has done in the past and it didn't go very well, so he has avoided it. the thing for thatisif he has avoided it. the thing for that is if he answer is one question, he will have to answer more and more. i think they feel that it would not move on, so it is best to not answer it and try to talk about other things. on the jeremy hunt site, it is difficult, they do not want to be going for the personal attack, but they also want to portrayjeremy hunt as they candidate who can get things done

without the drama. he talks about drama, being sensible, being steady, which is all in contrast to the way they are trying to portray boris johnson. it is difficult because i remember theresa may, she spoke about the importance of strong and sta ble about the importance of strong and stable leadership, and you end up being lampooned if you cannot deliver it. i suppose the difficulty forjeremy hunt as he is perceived as being a bit colourless next to these colourful past this colourful character, but could it be a bit of a tortoise on the here race, where we are all focused on one thing, speed and agility and drama, and actually may i say it with no disrespect, the dull style looks more attractive in the longer term? the beginning of this, the first hustings, i was there yesterday, and spoke to people in the way out, and it is not scientific, but in the room we saw iain dale being booed, and the majority were definitely

with boris johnson on and the majority were definitely with borisjohnson on all of this. afterwards there were people who came out saying it was really interesting, i came in here as a borisjohnson interesting, i came in here as a boris johnson supporter, jeremy hunt was good, he performed better than i thought. some will be looking at jeremy hunt is a potential leader for the first time, having backed borisjohnson for the for the first time, having backed boris johnson for the first time, so you never know how it is going to work out, but i still think he is the frontrunner, and it all depends on if there is more stories or questions about his private life if they can move on. borisjohnson cannot steer clear and be evasive about all of these things given that there will be a lot more of these events. the issue of brexit, did you form any sense yesterday from either candidate that there is a well thought out plan that will achieve an agreed brexit on the 31st of october? it is difficult because if you listen to borisjohnson, and talk about dis— aggregating the different parts of the withdrawal

agreement, taking out... cherry picking! dealing with the backstop, which requires a lot of movement from the other side on all of that, and then you talk about the 39 billion being ambiguous, creatively ambiguous about the money, it is almost like he is trying to rip it up almost like he is trying to rip it up and start again because he does not agree with the controversial sequencing whereby the divorce has to happen, he says the trade deal should never have happened, lots of people agree, but it happened. you can possibly do that before the sist. can possibly do that before the 31st. he has said he will leave with oi’ 31st. he has said he will leave with or without a deal. liam fox is backing jeremy hunt, but he is an arch brexiteer, and he is sitting there with david liddington. they are all slamming boris johnson's view, saying there do not need to be

tariffs, there could be implementation during the withdrawal agreement, and people saying that is not the case. tim johnson would say that you do not know what is going to happen with the prime minister, they have seen one prime minister brought down by this, and it is a change in terms of the commission and the eu, and they may feel we have to give them something to get it through. how large a number of labour mps say that if the deal came back now i would vote for it! laughter there is movement, and if you say that boris johnson laughter there is movement, and if you say that borisjohnson has the charisma, he could maybe get them to change their mind about. jeremy hunt says i know all these people because i am foreign secretary, i will have a steady approach, and they could argue that jeremy hunt has more chance of bringing over labour mps than boris johnson might. but this requires movement on the other side, of which there has not been very much so far.

reports in the us say america launched a cyber attack on iranian weapons systems on thursday, as president trump cancelled air strikes on the country. several sources including the washington post, said the attack disabled computer systems controlling rocket and missile launchers. the action was in response to the shooting down of a us drone in the strait of hormuz last week. a senior british foreign minister has arrived in tehran today for talks amid growning tensions between iran and the west. jane frances—kelly reports. america appears to have used cyberspace rather than airpower to retaliate against iran's elite military forces. us media reports that the online operation was designed to cripple weapons systems like this, used by the islamic revolutionary guard to shoot down an american drone last thursday. the wreckage was later put on display by tehran. it came as president trump publicly declared he had pulled back from an air strike on iran because it would cause a loss of life.

what it has to do with, very simply, is the fact is we are not going to have iran have a nuclear weapon, and when they agree to that, they are going to have a wealthy country, they are going to be so happy, and i'm going to be their best friend. i hope that happens. but tensions remain high. the downing of the drone comes after a series of attacks on tankers travelling through the busy shipping lanes of the gulf, which washington has blamed on iranian forces. mr trump pulled out of the iran nuclear deal last year and has announced new sanctions will begin on monday. a british foreign office minister meeting with diplomats in tehran today has called for a lessening of tensions. within days, iran is likely to start breaching some technical limits of the agreement. this puts pressure on european leaders including germany's chancellor, who remains committed to it. translation: i say that

the political solution should not just be a hope but it should be worked towards with the utmost seriousness, because i believe it should only be a political solution. mr trump is using both the stick and carrot. he is piling on the pressure while offering the hand of friendship. and so far iran has shown little inclination to bow to his will. channing us now is the president of the national iranian american council. thank you for speaking to us council. thank you for speaking to us today. —— joining us now. let me ask you, what do you make of the choice that president trump made to pull back from air strikes because of concerns about casualties, and instead apparently authorised a cyber attack? i think it was a wise choice considering the alternative. it seems pretty clear that the president has maybe gotten in over his head, and has maybe not

bargained for what this policy is leading him into. so this was a moment for a tough decision, does this so—called maximum pressure engaged upon, is it one where the president is willing to take it all the way to kinetic action, and at least for now it seems president trump does not want to go in that direction for now, howeverjohn bolton, mike pompeo, the real drivers and architects of the approach, are all saying lets to military action, so i don't how long this can go on without a change in strategy from the very top. in the end, the iranian administration, i know there was an issue in iran, about who you are talking about, whether it is the government, the supreme whether it is the government, the supreme leader or the guard, and engagement was made by what is

regarded by the washington administration is provocative action. this afternoon the foreign minister was in tehran saying that we believe you are responsible for these attacks on tankers, so this has been a response, in a sense, to a provocation. if you think about a few years ago because, something like this happened in the united states alleged iran was behind it, you would have seen a much more forceful response from the international response community, but the international community has called for maximum restraint,... i think the iranians clearly have decided that under the pressure of the sanctions that they are enduring, not because they have done something bad but because they are actually upholding, and it is time

to shift gears, and instead of signing the deal, trying to put some pressure on the united states, and whether this was the iranians shooting down a drone outside of their own airspace, i think it is kind of a technical matter. the fact is, with the pressure the united states is piling on iran, they need to push back at counter cost, this is inevitable. the only way that this ends is when the two sides decide that there is enough pressure and leverage, and they are now one day brink of something and need to cash in the chips and go to the negotiating table. until there is a recognition on the united states side, until the trump administration says it is prepared to do that, the iraniansi says it is prepared to do that, the iranians i don't think will do anything other than counter with more pressure. the risk is of a kind of accidental escalation.

absolutely, accidental escalation, andi absolutely, accidental escalation, and i think that unfortunately the iranians do not have a lot to lose, this is a country that is already in some respects in a wartime economy. they have economic warfare being raged against them, and so i think you see this pretty risky behaviour because they see that they have less to lose than the united states does. ultimately there will be something very bad that happens, whether it is kinetic or economic. great to talk to you, president of the american iranian council. thank you very much. it has been confirmed in the last few minutes that the opposition has won the rerun of the election context for the mayor of turkey. it isa context for the mayor of turkey. it is a big setback for president erdogan. former prime minister has

conceded defeat and the... let me speak to a representative from the bbc turkey service. he has won again, but by a bigger margin. absolutely. the difference between candidates was 40,000 in march the zist, candidates was 40,000 in march the 21st, and according to unofficial results it is 700,000. and that is why mr imamoglu extended his lead and won the victory. this can only be described as humiliation for president erdogan. it is the single most important defeat of his political career, i guess, most important defeat of his political career, iguess, because he infamously said a few times, whoever wins in istanbul wins in

turkey, and his political rise began in 1994 when he became the mayor of istanbul, and he always attached a special importance to istanbul, and today he decided to stay in istanbul, by the way we expect him to make a speech within a few hours, and now all eyes will turn to him, and now all eyes will turn to him, and everyone in turkey is curious about his comments for the results. ican about his comments for the results. i can remember at the time of his re—election as prime minister. this was wandering around an area of turkey where he grew up, talking about the cheeky little lad who used to come into the store and then he became a famous footballer then he became a famous footballer then he became the mayor, and it has been central to his kind of career, but also his image as a turkish politician, and a man of the people, he fought his way up, as it were, from the ground. i think the most

important thing is he looked unbeatable for decades in turkish politics, but the results of the last local election showed that he can be defeated if the opposition a cts can be defeated if the opposition acts together, and he lost some other big cities in turkey on march the 31st, including ankara, and he lost istanbul again. turkey's board decided for a rerun of elections and accused the government of putting pressure on to take such a decision by the board. it was said that a great injustice was made by the supreme great injustice was made by the supreme electoral board, and istanbul people corrected the mistake tonight. fascinating stuff, we shall watch out for the remarks from president erdogan. thank you very much.

five people have been arrested as part of a fraud investigation following the collapse of patisserie valerie. the high street bakery chain folded in january, with the loss of 900 jobs. our business correspondent katy austin had the details. before january, back in october, someone had already been arrested, chris marsh, the former finance director of patisserie valerie, he was arrested and released on bail, that was an investigation by the serious fraud office into what happened and how it came to collapse in that way. it is worth noting the chain has not disappeared altogether. i was going to say, some of the shops are still trading, but others are closed. so when the firm went into administration, some of them had already closed, i think it was about 70 stores closed, so 900 people lost theirjobs, but firm but what remained out of administration so that is why it still trades today in another form.

the serious fraud office investigation, how it initially came to collapse, after the first arrest in october, we have had it confirmed that five other people have also been arrested. that happened on tuesday, the tuesday just gone, and we are told that as part of the joint operation with police in hertfordshire, leicestershire and london metropolitan police. the serious fraud office have not said anything else about who these people are and why they have been arrested. that is katie austen reporting on the a retired church of england bishop has died, previously he had been arrested for indecent assault and public office. an official enquiry into his conduct criticised prince

charles for misguided friendship with him, which it was said could have influenced how the church handled allegations against them. prince charles says he deeply regrets being deceived by the bishop. the coast guard is appealing for information after a man in his 60s or 70s took a boat out but has not been seen since. he is described as being five foot nine, very thin with a scottish accent. thousands of runners and cyclists have taken part in a charity race in thailand, marking a year since a group of boys and their football coach became trapped in a cave complex. the team was eventually rescued 18 days later in a mission that caught the attention of the world. kathryn armstrong has more. the start of a race in remembrance of a rescue that captivated the world. these are some of the 12 boys who,

a year ago, entered the vast tham luang cave system in northern thailand with their football coach to relax after training. a trip that went horribly wrong. flash flooding left the teens trapped inside for more than two weeks with little food or water, before diving experts were able to rescue them. the death of a former thai navy seal and rescue volunteer, who ran out of air while returning through the caves, highlighted just how perilous the mission was. a year later, and the boys have had their story chronicled in the books, documentaries, and a netflix production is also in the pipeline. translation: it is indescribable, my life has changed a lot. translation: i feel thankful for all the officials who, on this day last year, spent their time to help me out and the boys are so that we got out safely. i thank you very much. also among those taking part in the charity race from the still closed caves to the village where the rescue took place were some of the experts involved. i think it's important we never forget what happened

in june and july last year. it's just really about people coming together and enjoying the day. it is hoped the race will be an annual event, with the money raised going to the redevelopment of the cave complex. kathryn armstrong, bbc news. researchers say they've uncovered a large—scale campaign to plant fake content on twitter and facebook. the atlantic council, a us think tank, says the material originates in russia. gareth barlow reports. britain spying on america. anti—immigrant sentiment in germany. the involvement of irish paramilitaries in the death of a former russian spy.

serious stories, all of them fake. the campaign on 30 online platforms was designed to stoke international tension. researchers from the atlantic council say it originated in russia. most of the posts failed to gain traction, but with russia repeatedly accused of trying to destabilise democracies, the latest revelations will surely cause further alarm. moscow has repeatedly denied using the internet to spread fake news and also alter public opinion. but politicians in europe and also in the united states say the kremlin is guilty of trying to influence elections. in 2017, fake news was made word of the year. it's a phrase that has become synonymous with elections, the internet and also with russia. the latest campaign used scores of accounts in multiple languages and although its impact was limited, it once again highlights the challenge facing social media providers and governments to separate news that is real from news that is not. gareth barlow, bbc news.

for people who come out of prison, finding work can prove difficult, but getting a job can actually reduce reoffending by a third, according to the ministry ofjustice. now the charity, key for life, is urging companies across the uk to employ ex—offenders and give them a second chance. fiona lamdin has been to see how some former inmates are being prepared for the world of work. five years ago, saj was still in prison. i have spent most of my life in and out ofjail. but having served his sentence, now the task of re—entering society and trying to find a job. carlos is coming over and joining in when we are talking about negative people, so... part of the training ready for the world of work is equine therapy in somerset. it is believed the horses can work with the men's emotions. but why do prisoners

deserve this help? in a competitivejob market, why should they be given work over others? i am at a stage where i am trying to do better in my life and leave all that behind, break the cycle, kind of like move on from what i did. i am no longer that person, i'm a different person now. but it is hard getting people to understand that. 64% of men spending less than 12 months in prison reoffend within the year. so, how do you break that cycle? it is thought that work can make a huge difference, and yet a year on, only i7% of ex—offenders are in work. but the charity key for life are trying to change that. i'm going to ask a few questions that will help us learn about you... they have got 63% of their men into work. listing the nine prisons in ten years that he has been to, truman tells me at 28

he's desperate to be given a chance. if i was an employer, how would you persuade me that i should trust you now? if you would take a chance on me i would tell you i am not still like a little child. this you cannot look at my criminal record to see what i was like as a kid and go off that. i feel that nowadays i have grown up a lot. in reality, it is not that easy. according to the department for work and pensions, half of all employers said they wouldn't consider hiring an ex—offender. but the ministry ofjustice say 5,000 businesses are now signed up, and this dairy farm in dorset is one of them. mikey came out of prison three years ago. if you're not working and keeping busy, you will find things to do and you will probably end up getting in trouble and getting arrested. doesn't it feel like a massive risk? they have a chance to redeem

themselves, and they have a big point to prove, they come here, if they can work for us for a long time that is brilliant. if they can work for us for six months, that's just as good. it is really about giving them a chance to prove themselves. for some, certainly a risk. one many employers so far have found too big to take. let is go back to the england's world cup match. the final whistle is expected very shortly. we are in injury time at the moment, and it looks like the lead of england is unassailable, so more than seven minutes of injury time has gone already. one of the players went down just already. one of the players went downjust a already. one of the players went down just a few minutes ago, as you can see. that might have extended injury timea can see. that might have extended injury time a little. this is england's first match at the

knockout stage, and it will be hoped this has seen them through after they are splendid performance during they are splendid performance during the group matches already. let's dip into the commentary. ask. that houghton is being screamed out. if she could see the challenge as we have seen, she wouldn't be complaining like that. that is descent, clearly visible to everyone in the ground. she is touching her ear, we are not getting a message this is being reviewed. it was a very poor challenge. at worst it is a yellow card. the game cannot be reviewed for that, it has to be a game changer. it is going to be. it's a possible red card.|j

game changer. it is going to be. it's a possible red card. i think it is. this late on though, in a fractious game we go to var. the foot is raised. it is clumsy. she has seen it. she is going to takounda. has seen it. she is going to ta kounda. var says has seen it. she is going to takounda. var says yellow, i think thatis takounda. var says yellow, i think that is ok. at this late stage. a lot of people disagree with me, but... i think she is very lucky. they will be facing norway in the next round. if you want to watch the rest of what is left. the yellow ca rd rest of what is left. the yellow card for cameroon there, it is on

bbc one and our main news follows on bbc one and our main news follows on bbc one and the news channel. but now, our young people being exploited in the quest to find work, there are saying some employers are using a loophole to use young people as free labour by offering them unpaid trial shifts. speaking to one young woman who believes she is a victim of such a practise. she had been looking for a part—time job. when a local cafe responded to her cover letter with the offer of a trial shift, she was elated. she spent seven hours waitressing on a busy saturday, but was not offered any work or paid the minimum wage.|j do not think it is fair to all that we did not get paid because we are young even though we should still be treated like adults and being young does not mean we shouldn't get the job or anything like that. it is

interesting that so many other people have posted a similar experience do you. when her dad posted her experience on social media, they said dozens of parents wrote back saying that their kids had experienced the same thing for step according to the government, it is illegal to put anyone on an unpaid work trial for an excessive period of time or if there is nojob on offer. but trying to prove exactly what an excessive period of time actually is or if there was ever a job in the offering can prove tricky, especially if you are young and inexperienced. dateline said they expect payback put out can give them a loop or to say that this is a genuine trial and we need to assess whether that person is right for the job but that this creates a situation where employers can take advantage. after the bbc contacted the cafe, she received a text from

it telling her that she had not got thejob as a it telling her that she had not got the job as a waitress that her travel expenses would now be reimbursed. let's go back to where the england cameron game is over, england when 3—0 against the cameroon and their team, judging by the score, england pretty much dominated. extra injury time delayed the result but we are hoping to hear more from the stadium a little later cure more from the stadium a little later cu re of more from the stadium a little later cure of bbc news and there will be an update on the score and details of their performance, dominating the match now, looking forward to their next match against norway as they creep further and further towards the possibility of a world cup when and when the impossible is football. more from michelle when the national and international news comes injust

and international news comes injust a few minutes, now it is time for a look at the weather. finally, we are seeing some fairly widespread decent summerlike weather over much of the uk. glorious day so far, seen with blue skies, cloud building in the afternoon. as we head through the rest of today, we will keep the spells of sunshine right through this evening and quite a bit warmer and quite high—pressure and through the day tomorrow there will be drifting its way gradually further towards the northeast with a low pressure starting to move in from the southwest. it is the evening hours move and, there will be more cloud forming in the likes of the channel and northern ireland, the breeze picking up in the west of tonight with the arriving in the early hours of sunday. dry start, just the odd shower across the north of scotla nd just the odd shower across the north of scotland as well. through sunday,

here's the area of low pressure, a bit of a troublemaker as he had next week. just slowly arriving across southwestern parts of the uk many places starting up the day dry with the long spells of sunshine, but you'll notice the breeze increasing in the cloud in the southwest of england and northern ireland too. chance of the odd shower across scotla nd chance of the odd shower across scotland and central parts of england staying dry and bright and with temperatures up to around 24 degrees, it is going to feel quite warm but also quite humid and that humidity continues to build as we had on through sunday night. so concentrating on the rainout, the rain in the southwest through sunday night, this pushes its way north and there can be 20 to 50 mm, particularly heavy than three rain developing from north wales, parts of northern england as well, moving through the early hours of monday morning and that rain continues to progress northwards, cross northern ireland and then across scotland and eastern parts of scotland that could be about 18 mm through monday, enough to cause a few wedding issues

-- 80 enough to cause a few wedding issues —— 80 mm. heat and enough to cause a few wedding issues —— 80 mm. heatand humidity in enough to cause a few wedding issues —— 80 mm. heat and humidity in the heavy thundering downpours, through much of scotland but further south we could see a few rogue showers cropping up, temperature wise though, highs of around 20 speech, 27 towards the southeast, typically in the high teens for the north. and next week we have that risk of some heavy thundering downpours but heading up to around 31 degrees. goodbye.

jeremy hunt says anyone trying to be prime minister should answer questions about everything. his rival, borisjohnson was not shy away from explaining exactly how he handles brexit but he will not

comment on his personal life. the government minister visits iran amidst continuing tensions between it and washington. in the us cyber attack on iranian technology. five people are arrested over alleged accounting fraud. slept brilliantly and! england make it through to the women's world cup quarterfinals with a little help from video replays. good evening. the conservative leadership candidate jeremy hunt says his rival borisjohnson must be prepared to answer difficult questions if he is to become the next prime minister. the person who

wa nted next prime minister. the person who wanted that role should answer questions on everything, but he would not comment on borisjohnson‘s personal life. police are called to the flat that mrjohnson shares with his partner after reports of a row. he should bejudged on his policies, not his private life people say. if you want to be prime minister, you have to face some tough questions. borisjohnson is refusing to talk about his private life and the police visit after a row with his girlfriend. but giving more details on his policies or government too. his leadership rival, jeremy hunt, said what happens in peoples personal lives is a matterfor them. amr personal lives is a matterfor them. a mrjohnson should answer questions on everything. my challenge to boris johnson is very simply this, come and do live tv debates of me, come and do live tv debates of me, come and do live tv debates of me, come and do interviews and interviews the today programme, because you have to a nswer today programme, because you have to answer these important questions and

he is not answering them. supporters of borisjohnson are downplaying what happened in the early hours of this morning. recording what happened between him and his girlfriend. what did they say? everybody was safe, everyone was well, there was no concerns that the office rs well, there was no concerns that the officers had and there was no cause for any further action. that is what the police have said and it was a private incident and we should leave that that. get things right and we can deliver brexit, unite the party. exactly three years after they decide to leave the eu and brexit is likely to dominate the leadership race. they're asked to explain their approach for tory party members. mr johnson was a new brexit deal but says he would be willing to leave it that when at the end of october. what i said was leaving on october the 31st, my words are eminently

feasible. what he's been accused of misrepresenting what that would mean in practise. his fellow brexiteer leader said it was wrong to say that tariff arrangements may not change forup to tariff arrangements may not change for up to ten years. it is not true. that is the problem. if you have no deal, we are likely to face tariffs from the european union. they have a they will apply for tariffs to the uk which would make our exports less because our prices and it is potentially bad for the economy. but they say he's got it right in mr hunt will let people down, boris johnson supporters. will continue to review the policy of kicking the can down the road which is what the other member of the races advocating and he said he will be prepared to delay beyond the 31st of october. think that would be a disaster. with four weeks to go and all parts of the uk, both leadership and note the

scrutiny will continue. personal circumstances should be, i get the impression thatjeremy hunt is treading carefully here by saying that he is not going to make any comments on boris johnson's that he is not going to make any comments on borisjohnson‘s personal life but it is a judgement for others to make and is saying that he must not avoid scrutiny altogether andi must not avoid scrutiny altogether and i think that mr hunt does not wa nt to and i think that mr hunt does not want to personalise because they fear it could backfire. but there is also another mps and some party that do have doubts about this becoming a massive distraction and the party today, and government if mrjohnson we re today, and government if mrjohnson were to become prime minister. think of the language that mr hunt is using, a wise prime minister to get us using, a wise prime minister to get us through difficult times. there's a crisis going on and we need someone calm and steady. on the other side of it, this first week and since he was on that paper for the last two weeks are not the kind

of headline so you want. but he insisted he would not answer questions about his personal life and if he answers one, that potentially opens the door to many more in what they are begging on his conservative party members really being willing to overlook all of this and having been in the room yesterday when he was asked about it, i think for now at least he is probably right. there been an iran causing ted my calling for an insta nt reports and american media say they lost a cyber attack and disabled systems controlling rocket and missile launchers. our washington correspondent reports. having backed away from military strikes, america is trying to show it is not afraid of conflict with iran. officials say that they launched cyber attacks, which they claim disabled iranian systems controlling rockets and

missile launchers. exactly the kind of hardware that was responsible for shooting down an american drone. with them showing of the wreckage, president trump threatening them if this ends up in confrontation. people are becoming increasingly worried. everyone must be having nerves of steel, it is essential to avoid any form of escalation in the world cannot afford a major confrontation. but the us is doing everything it can to show it is ready for war. stating repeatedly that it does not want conflict. american forces are on standby in the gulf and with the hogs of the administration was in israel, want to send a message to his neighbour. lu they should not mistake prudence

for weakness. no one has granted them a hunting licence in the middle east. there is a very clear divide inside the white house. president trump called off the retaliatory strike, but most of his senior advisers wanted them. that has resulted in a mixed message being sent. we are prepared to talk to iran, but iran needs to understand that we will never allow them to obtain nuclear weapons and we will not allow them to continue to sew violence across this region. the foreign minister met with diplomats in tehran to ease tensions. but with concerns of further attacks following the explosions that damaged tankers in the gulf, and iran threatening to breach the terms of its nuclear deal, relationships between the us and iran are likely to be tested, if any exist at all.

previous result overturned in march. our correspondent is in istanbul now, how is it being seen?|j our correspondent is in istanbul now, how is it being seen? i can tell you that for the opposition candidate, the one was when the mayor ship has left the selection building behind me and he was thronged by supporters all chanting a slogan. everything will be fine. this is much more thanjust a local election, this was a pivotal test for the president after 16 years in power. this is a city that he once ran as mayor, it compelled him as president, one of the key figures in the world stage on everything from european security, to syria. and then he faced this opposition candidate that managed to crystallize the hopes of his supporters and this polarised country, yearning for change, yearning for a positive, optimistic message at his victory tonight by a much larger margin than the election

step has gone to plan for england, but now the heat turns up a notch. and when it comes to knock out football, there is always one thought lingering in the background. they suggested that this would be a walkover for they suggested that this would be a walkoverfor england, they suggested that this would be a walkover for england, cameroon tried everything to throw them off course, but he survived that only to survive minutes later when the goalkeeper picked up a back pass and in the melee, they appeared to be spat at. but england needed now was a cool head in the quarter. step forward. cameroon are ranked 43 places below england and soon they pressed on their advantage. it was a goal confirmed by the ar but still cameroon's players thought hard done by. their sense of injustice would only increase. in the second half, they called on the day the va are still the spotlight and other drama reached new heights. england were

rattled but when it mattered, they found a way through as alex greenwood settled the nerves. england have a third! send it all in world cup football, he or she is coming off after a record 18 appearance on the world stage. it was a game that had everything but only one thing counts for england, they are through to the quarterfinals. we always knew that cameroon were an unpredictable sign, i don't think anyone foresaw the incident and emotion, i think it would've been a stressful game for england, there be relieved of come through it relatively unscathed and others face an entirely different challenge in norway. they will have to be at their best to beat that team. andy murray and doubles partner lopez are leading in the doubles final at queens in what has been a busy afternoon for la paz,
