and finally, the lionesses are through to the quarterfinals of the women's world cup. the victory, however, was not without controversy after england manager phil neville said he was "completely and utterly ashamed" by the behaviour of the cameroon team, who twice looked like they would refuse to play on as england beat them 3—0. we will talk about that. jonathan is back as promised. up the lionesses!
5:46 am
great performance. with me isjonathan charles, who's managing director of communications, european bank for reconstruction and development. was dealt with the guardian. many front pages in the uk very much looking up the pressure on boris johnson, who of course is the leading candidate. everyone sees him as the frontrunner to become the leader of the conservative party, new prime minister. what do you make of the guardian article looking at jeremy huntjoining of the guardian article looking at jeremy hunt joining calls of the guardian article looking at jeremy huntjoining calls for him to explain what happened at his joint apartment with his girlfriend? what apartment with his girlfriend? what a weekend for boris. the headlines today will make very unhappy reading for him, no doubt about that. there is the headline. press onjohnson over police visit. a quote in the guardian. if he is refusing to a nswer guardian. if he is refusing to answer questions, people are thinking, who will be get as pm? that is uniform across the papers. all of them are saying he needs to answer, it is a question of character. it is an interesting one, this one. there is an element of double standards. everyone says we don't want to dwell on his personal
5:47 am
life but he must answer about character. i think this is being used as a stick to beat boris. it probably wouldn't be that if they won't already questions about his private life and his personality. it has just thrown the spotlight on that. they don't think this is going to go away for him. a lot of people are saying and always have said that boris's august obstacle to high office is boris himself, he is his own worst enemy. this is reinforcing this does make biggest obstacle. i'm more interested in the currency is made of the weekend saying that britain has a no—deal brexit it can trade on world trade organisation article 2a times. in other words, he is saying life would go on as normal, we would trade on the same terms with the european union, that is what article 2a says. that is not what article 2a says, it says that it has to be a mutual agreement between the both sides. and part of the future trade agreement. though he is wrong on that. i think it is better to scrutinise, probably, some of the real policy issues. for the
5:48 am
moment there is no getting away from this issue. this issue and the police were called on friday. it has been going on, as you say, for 48 hours if not longer. this article in the guardian talks about the concern growing within thejohnson camp that while this has been dominating the headlines, jeremy hunt has been seizing control of the process. exactly. they listen to a bit of the conservative party hustings whereby both men were interviewed on saturday afternoon. and when you heard that, of course, it allowed jeremy hunt to really focus... get the upper hand. he could look like a straight dealer. boris was regally having to say i will not answer that question. as long as that continues it is hard for boris to come back. we have seen it in some of the opinion polls of the last 24 hours. it is beginning to affect the credibility even within the conservative party borisjohnson. credibility even within the conservative party boris johnson. to the degree where he won't become
5:49 am
leader of the party? he was so far ahead up to this point, after this police visit on friday. he was definitely the frontrunner, there is no doubt. as a non- betting man, if they want to place a bet, i'm was deals at the end of the process borisjohnson is deals at the end of the process boris johnson is going deals at the end of the process borisjohnson is going to come out ahead unless there is something else really made in the next few weeks, some of the scandal. a lot of people in the conservative party are saying he is the only person who can hold back nigel farage, the only person who can deliver brexit, which is what they really want... could he wina what they really want... could he win a general election with the majority? he is the one they see as having the character to win them a general election. you can argue as to whether those things are true but thatis to whether those things are true but that is how they can —— perceive it. as long as they continue to perceive that he will come out on top, irrespective of all that is public. will keep an eye. it is fascinating. from that apartment where the police we re from that apartment where the police were to perhaps number 10 where there will be police. someone was saying there are always police
5:50 am
outside number 10. they are saying there are always police outside number10. they are handy. let us look at the time. analysis of the result in istanbul. it says this marks the start of his political decline. he himself famously said who wins istanbul wins turkey. what do you think? i will use the phrase what we can again. i think for president erdogan this has been a very painful 24 hours. if you remember, he called the selection again because he complained about the previous one and managed to get a rerun. now, instead of losing by a narrow majority, he has lost by a massive majority. because istanbul citizens have turned out in great numbers to safe we know what we think and what we think is we want a change. what we think about this? i think it is very hard. you have got to remember about a quarter of the turkish population live in istanbul. it is responsible for about a third of the wealth of turkey. it is very important for the country and the powerbase of politics. it is well the business deals are done and all
5:51 am
the business deals are done and all the business deals are done and all the business events take place. he was meram istanbul, it is personal to him, prezza erdogan. it has been a powerbase for his body. now that has gone. what will worry him is that it has gone. what will worry him is thatitis has gone. what will worry him is that it is a clear sign, obviously, that it is a clear sign, obviously, that he doesn't have overall control that he doesn't have overall control that he doesn't have overall control that he has been trying to be a strong man in the country. it is a clear sign of the economic difficulties that turkey is going through. this massive fall in the turkish lira. it is coming through in voterswas disenchantment. at the same time there is someone who will be the meram istanbul ma will use that as a springboard to challenge him in the 2020 three presidential elections stop having said all of that, he is in a position to make life very difficult for the mayor of istanbul. he could cut funding for istanbul, for example. he has to... he centralised control. they talk about his political decline, but it will be interesting to see what really happens. my view of prezza
5:52 am
erdogan, having met him on several occasions, he is a political strongman, a wily operator, i would not give up on him yet —— president erdogan. he is sensible enough to acknowledge this victory. he has done that. he has tweeted his congratulations to the winning candidate of the opposition. this is not over yet. definitely not. the fat lady has not sung. let us skip over g20, we spoke about it earlier, moving on to the irish times. russians posted fake news about northern ireland. what is russian intelligence operations accused of doing and how damaging is it was hello this is a fascinating story had not been aware of until this morning. in the irish times, an intelligence operation apparently ran false information about the real ira and interactions between the dup party leader arlene foster and the eu. ithink party leader arlene foster and the eu. i think what is happening here is, if this was russian intelligence, but certainly it is what we have seen with many russian and new size, they often run
5:53 am
operations which put up material which is designed to cause confusion. it is designed not to say this is black and white, but to cause real confusion amongst readers, amongst people who follow the news, because that is seen as stoking lots of political issues. it makes people confused about where politicians stand and undermines individual countries. it undermines people's trust in democracy. and news. and information. and people feel they don't know what is true and what is not. this is said to be and what is not. this is said to be a continuation of that. it is a strategy, we have seen it in many countries. they centred on arlene foster apparently favouring the eu's approach to brexit. we know that is not true. it also says that the den defence secretary, gavin williamson, said the real ira helped in the attempted assassination of russian spy attempted assassination of russian spy so goes global. obviously nonsense as well. this year confusion helps ——so gase so gase
5:54 am
scribble. they were talking about the fact that it was a bad tempered game, the lionesses. this was a very interesting game. i thought with the female players, they managed to keep the call, no doubt about it. but you had lots of issues that were raised. cameroon often threatening to walk off the pitch. questions about the refereeing. did they keep control of this game. this was one of the first times many women foot dollars would have come across va are, the use of technology to take decisions. there is big debate about that. even if it is big debate about that. even if it is used, referees are still have to control the game have to come tempus. but on the other hand, a news for england. they are through i news for england. they are through ——, tempus. it is fantastic for them to be true. go england! what a way to be true. go england! what a way to end. thank you for your company. i'll see you soon.
5:55 am
hello. more of a feel of summer in the weather this week but, with some fairly humid weather over the next few days, comes a real risk of severe thunderstorms. not everyone will see them but, where you do, an increased risk of some flash flooding around. later this week though the sunnier side of summer will return. most places dry, blue skies overhead, but the highest of the temperatures will be later in the week, friday into saturday in particular. out there at the moment, we've got some fairly humid air with us as this weather system works its way northwards. we've seen some thunder and some lightning attached to this rain, pushing into parts of scotland for the morning. some of the rain here could be heavy and persistent, with quite a south—easterly breeze to go with it. there could be minorflooding, as i said, and that could give some travel disruption. further south, big puddles left in the wake from the overnight storms. and look at that — temperatures starting the day at around 18 celsius in central london. the atmosphere for monday is finely balanced. we've got the rain pushing northwards across scotland, still with some rumbles of thunder. we mightjust see one or two isolated, sporadic thunderstorms break out through the day but it's a worst—case scenario in that we see a larger storm blossom across central southern england push their way northwards as we go through into the afternoon.
5:56 am
if that happens, again, flash flooding, some gusty winds and frequent lightning is possible. away from it, though, when we see the sunshine come out, it will feel pretty warm, especially in the south. not as warm as the weekend across northern and western scotland. more cloud here, still some outbreaks of rain, and a bit of a breeze. some heavy, thundery rain into the evening and eastern scotland but then another batch of storms out from france which could be more severe, particularly across parts of central, eastern england. a bit of uncertainty about where they will be but frequent lightning, risk of flash flooding and some gusty winds to go with it, and a fairly oppressive night across the country with humidity levels continuing to creep up. so it will be a humid start to tuesday, could be some impacts from the storms across central—eastern england in particular. maybe some in northern england during the morning rush hour, too. they will gradually ease away and things gradually turn quieter as we go through tuesday. one or two isolated storms can't be ruled out but most are becoming dry. still a fair bit of cloud but, when the sunshine breaks through, with increased humidity, temperatures 25—27 in the south—east corner, 22—23 in western parts of scotland. a ridge of high pressure builds in for wednesday, doing a few things, clearing away some of the cloud, a lot more sunshine around, dropping the humidity levels in the north, cooling
5:57 am
things in eastern coasts. the chance of one or two storms towards that south—western corner but they will clear through as we go through towards the end of the week. high—pressure builds in, and pushing to the east of us, we're going to be dragging our air in off western parts of europe where we could see some record—breaking heat over the next few days. for us, well, here we could see temperatures climb to 26 to 28 degrees in western scotland, above 30 celsius in the south.
