today at five — jeremy hunt tells his fellow conservative leadership candidate borisjohnson to "man up" and face public scrutiny. mr hunt urges the leadership frontrunner not to ‘be a coward' and face him in a tv debate this week. the conservative party will start to feel cheated of having a proper leadership campaign if the front runner isn't prepared to subject himself to the scrutiny of tv debates, to the scrutiny of media interviews. but sky news says it will have to cancel plans for a televised debate tomorrow unless boris johnson agrees to take part. the other main stories on bbc news at 5: the us prepares to announce more sanctions against iran later today as tensions continue to rise between the two countries. a man is sentenced to life in prison

withjeremy hunt urging rival borisjohnson not to be "a coward" about facing public scrutiny. he said that mrjohnson should "man up" and debate with him on tv — before most conservative members vote. it comes as sky news announced it was cancelling a planned debate for tomorrow, because mr johnson had declined to take part. meanwhile, mrjohnson has been talking about policies — warning that the uk will face a "democratic explosion" if it does not leave the eu by 31 october. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley reports. things have been a bit calmer in downing street recently, but it won't last for ever. the race for the keys to this place is heating up. this morning, jeremy hunt launched an attack on his rivalfor ducking interviews and debates. he told borisjohnson not to be a coward, "man up and show the nation you can cope with intense scrutiny." ijust think it's very disrespectful to conservative party members, not to allow them the chance to see us debating head to head,

so that they can be very clear in their minds as to what either of us would actually do. rivals have dubbed him bottler boris after a televised head—to—head tomorrow was called off. mrjohnson is taking part in hustings for tory members, like this one in birmingham at the weekend. his supporters insist he is answering questions. there's going to be more than a dozen more of these hustings around the country. there's going to be another tv debate, the next one on itv. so of course there is a huge amount of scrutiny and rightly so, and boris has put himself forward for that. these pictures have emerged of mrjohnson and his partner, carrie symonds. the mail says they were taken yesterday, a few days after police were called to their flat following a row. neither side wants to dwell on personal matters, but on the politicalfront, there are big, unanswered questions. both candidates want us to trust them, that they can get a better brexit deal, despite all the warnings that

might not be possible, but what if they fail? there are many here who don't believe borisjohnson's claims about a no deal brexit. there are others who say it simply won't happen, parliament will block it and even some conservatives warning they might be prepared to bring down the government to stop no deal happening. are the numbers there to stop a no deal on the 31st of october, maybe using a vote of no confidence in the government? i believe that absolutely is the case. i think a dozen or so members of parliament on our side would be voting against supporting of no deal. and that would include ministers as well as backbenchers. mrjohnson says a no—deal brexit wouldn't be as bad as some think, but some of his claims have been criticised, like the idea there could be a short standstill, an implementation period allowing current trade deals to continue. some of his supporters don't sound all that enthusiastic. we are leaving the eu at the latest by the 31st of october.

this is not about an implementation period anymore. that debate, that ship has sailed and gone. it was back to the campaign trail this afternoon forjeremy hunt. he knows he has a lot of work to do to catch the favourite in this race. so what do we do next? "so what do we do next," he says. a question mr hunt or his rival will have to answer soon. let's cross to westminster and talk to our political correspondent jonathan blake. how would you characterise the tone and substance of today? it's getting and substance of today? it's getting a bit personal, isn't it? and i think what the last few hours tell us think what the last few hours tell us is that there are two campaigns here, going about this leadership contest in very different ways, and it suits them so far to do that. you've gotjeremy hunt, very much the underdog in his own words, standing in front of any camera or microphone that appears and telling party members and the wider public

what he would do as prime minister, and also challenging borisjohnson to come forward and answer for his own policies and his own ideas, more than he has done already. but boris johnson has a very different strategy, to do the bare minimum in terms of media appearances and he has committed to those 16 hustings which have been happening, organised by the conservative party around the uk. he did the bbc debate last week. at this stage it seems unlikely he will do that head—to—head debate proposed by sky news tomorrow, but his team would say he's not hiding away, and he is doing what he needs to do. all the time he's out there as the frontrunner and he can command significant levels of support from tory members to make it look like he is going to win this race, i don't think that will change. but if the borisjohnson campaign get great get wind of any traction in the media that this is starting to stick, maybe they will change the way they are going about

things. but as i say, jeremy hunt very much the underdog and it suits him to have this attack line against borisjohnson him to have this attack line against boris johnson and has him to have this attack line against borisjohnson and has policies you're putting out there, some would say maybe he should be answering for and going into details about as well. but at this stage it seems he is happy to let his supporters do that and let his ideas speak for themselves. thank you. the conservative mp andrew mitchell is backing borisjohnson to be the next conservative leader, and hejoins me now from westminster. good afternoon. good afternoon. lets talk about the sky debate, first. what is borisjohnson scared of?” think the suggestion that boris is hiding away is ridiculous. he is going to have 16 hustings, i attended the first in birmingham on saturday and then he came to my constituency after that. he must be one of the most scrutinised politicians on earth. and you really can't say he is hiding away if he is

doing 16 hustings. back in 2005, when the contest took place between david cameron and david davis, the two of them did six hustings. so, you know, 16 is an awful lot of scrutiny. and he's going to do it with relish. he could, though, do this tv debate tomorrow, couldn't he? at the moment he is pulling out of it. we are then that he had to an itv debate which won't be until after voting papers have been sent out. my point is he's not avoiding scrutiny. he is doing an immense amount of hustings, a huge number, and that's where the voters in this election will be able to question him, will be able to hear his viewpoint. so ijust think the argument that he is hiding away is completely ridiculous. so when jeremy hunt talks of carriages, you dismiss that? i understand why jeremy is saying what he is saying, but i do, yes. one of the key questions which was raised in conversations a moment ago is, how can boris johnson guarantee conversations a moment ago is, how can borisjohnson guarantee that the uk would leave the eu on the 31st of

0ctober if parliament votes to stop a no—deal brexit? that's a legitimate question, is it not, and it doesn't yet appear to have an answer. i don't think it's a question that can be answered at the moment. what boris johnson question that can be answered at the moment. what borisjohnson has made clear is that britain should leave in october the 31st and i think is right about that. all the cars are on the table, everyone knows all the releva nt on the table, everyone knows all the relevant facts, and what we want to do is leave on that date with a deal. and i think there's everything to play for to get a deal, to negotiate between now and that, and i'm certain he is right to say we should leave on a tab on the 31st because we really cannot go on kicking this can down the road. it is doing immense damage to our democracy in britain, it's exacerbating the divisions in our country. we need to leave as the referendum mandated us to do, and i think we should recognise that we are going to leave on october 31 and try to get on with getting a suitable deal for britain in the intervening time. but the point is, if he doesn't get that deal, then

what happens? that's a perfectly legitimate question, and when you look at parliamentary mathematics at the moment, that's the most likely outcome, is it not? ithink the moment, that's the most likely outcome, is it not? i think we should all be very determined indeed to get a deal that works for both parties buy october the 31st. being determined is one thing but that's not necessarily the reality of the situation. it might be. we will see what happens in the intervening period. i what happens in the intervening period. lam what happens in the intervening period. i am confident it is in both parties' interest to get a deal and sensible to focus on in end date and not go on forever kicking the can down the road, which is not going to get us anywhere. so when tobias ellwood says, as he has, that a dozen conservative mps could support a vote of no confidence to stop a no—deal brexit, how do you respond to that? i thick that is very unlikely. i think a vote of no confidence, if it is tabled by the leader of the opposition, will unite all conservatives who are determined jeremy corbyn should not get the keys to number ten. what of mr johnson pass my private life? why

won't he explain why the police came to his door in the early hours of friday morning? i concluded a long time ago that i would leave prying into the marriages and relationships of public figures to the lower end of public figures to the lower end of the media, and i think you can re st of the media, and i think you can rest on the comments of the police that there were no calls for concern. that there were no calls for concern. that's what the police had, no cause for concern. and i think the matter should be left there by journalists and everyone else. but doesn't personality matter if you're going to be prime minister?|j doesn't personality matter if you're going to be prime minister? i think boris's personality has been scrutinised practically more than any other politician on earth. he has enormous strength, he led the campaign for britain to leave the eu, that was voted for by the british public. he is the right man to deliver that deal. but he also was the mayor of london who ushered ina very was the mayor of london who ushered in a very sensible, moderate, compassionate conservative one nation agenda, the fruits of that we re nation agenda, the fruits of that were clear, not only in his first term but when he was re—elected in his second term. i think that shows you what sort of man he is and i

hope he is going to be our next prime minister. thank you for coming on, andrew mitchell, there. in the last few minutes, donald trump is that newly imposed sanctions against iran will target the iranian supreme leader and could last for years. let's hear what he had to say a few moments ago. in a few moments, i will be signing an executive order imposing hard—hitting sanctions on the supreme leader of iran and the office of the supreme leader of iran, and many others. today's actions follows a series of aggressive behaviours by the iranian regime in recent weeks including the shooting down of us drones, they shot down a drone, i guess everyone so that one. and many other things, and many other things aside from the individual drone, use of the tankers, and we know of other things that were done also which were not good and not appropriate. the supreme good and not appropriate. the supreme leader of iran is one who

ultimately is responsible for the hostile conduct of the regime, he is respected within his country, he oversees the regime's most brutal instruments including the islamic revolutionary guard, sanctions imposed through the executive order that i'm about to sign will deny the supreme that i'm about to sign will deny the supreme leader and his office and those closely affiliated with him and the office, access to key financial resources and support. the assets of ayatollah khamenei and his office will not be spared from the sanctions. these measures represent a strong and proportionate response toa a strong and proportionate response to a run's increasingly provocative actions. we will continue to increase pressure on tehran until the redeem abandons its dangerous activities and aspirations including the pursuit of nuclear weapons, increased enrichment of uranium, development of ballistic missiles

and support for terrorism, fuelling of foreign conflicts and belligerent a cts of foreign conflicts and belligerent acts directed against the us and its allies. the agreement that was signed was a disaster, it was not doing what it was supposed to do, many bad things were taking place, and most importantly, it was so short—term that within a very short number of years, they would be able to make nuclear weapons and unacceptable. never can iran has a nuclear weapon. also included in this is we want the stoppage, immediately, of their sponsoring of terrorism. they sponsor terrorism at 11 no one has ever seen before and that has been over the last number of years, they've taken that money that was given to them by the past administration and much of that was given out to terrorist organisations. in fact, given out to terrorist organisations. infact, i remember whenjohn kerry organisations. infact, i remember when john kerry was organisations. infact, i remember whenjohn kerry was asked a question about whether or not this money will be spent for terror, he actually

said yes, or at least he was referring to some of it. but he said, yes, it will be used for terror. if you can believe that. we are giving their money, we are saying, yes it can be used for terror. that is not a good answer. but that was the least of it, frankly. america is a peace—loving nation, we do not seek conflict with iran or with nation, we do not seek conflict with iran orwith any nation, we do not seek conflict with iran or with any other country. we look forward to the day when sanctions can be lifted and iran can bea sanctions can be lifted and iran can be a peaceful, prosperous and productive nation. that can be very quickly, it can be tomorrow, it also can be years from now. i look forward to discussing whatever i have to discuss with anybody that wa nts to have to discuss with anybody that wants to speak. in the meantime, who knows what's going to happen? i can only tell you we cannot ever let it run have a nuclear weapon. and that president trump speaking in washington in the last few moments. let's speak to barbara plett usher who's in washington now.

how much tougher does this look to you? is a personaltarget, isn't it? saying that the supreme leader is the one who makes all the decisions, ultimately, in a run, he is the one responsible for the hostility of the conflict and therefore will go for him. -- in conflict and therefore will go for him. —— in iran. the sanctions are the ones that really affect the iranians and the iranian redeem, 80% of the country is already sanctioned, taking out crucial revenue from oil, from petrochemicals, and other things, cutting them off from the financial system. so i think the sanctions are really basically a way of saying, finding somebody else to target and saying that it goes to the very top, that we need somebody to take action. so i don't know that this is going to change behaviour in iran, they've already said that there is economic war against them and their response, or other they deny they have been responsible for any of the

attacks on oil tankers in the last weeks, certainly they shot down the drone last week, the american drone. so the response has been to push out, and i guess the concern is they will continue to do that. the administration, as you heard, mr trump speaking says, this is a proportionate response. last week he decided not to authorise a military strike because he said it would be disproportionate given the number of iranians that would be killed, but signalling the sanctions regime, the number of pressures that will be applied, would continue. how consistent does this look to you? imagine what nearly happened last week, we've heard reports of a cyber attack, but there have also been suggestions there will be talks with no preconditions. the wider picture to some will look slightly confusing. i think the wider picture to many people looks slightly confusing. if your thoughts about that based on what he said. —— a few thoughts about that. one question is, mrtrump is thoughts about that. one question is, mr trump is clearly eager to

have talks, he keeps saying so. but the policy his administration is pursuing does not look like it's created diplomatic space for the kind of conditions you would need to prepare the groundwork for talks. the argument is the only way the iranians respond as this force and so we are iranians respond as this force and so we are really going to force them, but there is a lot of concern that there is no buffer zone, no way of getting these talks going. otherwise to the iranians it will look like surrender. the other difference we have seen in terms of talks is that mr trump has really emphasised he does not want the iranians to get a nuclear weapon. this is all about the nuclear, he has had. the deal would be about restrictions on the nuclear programme, where as his administration officials have talked about much more, curbing other parts of iran's behaviour. and you saw today in his comments, mr trump was beginning to talk about more than just the nuclear. thank you very much. the inquest into the deaths of those

killed in the london bridge attack in 2017 has been hearing from sajeel shahid who ran the fitness centre where one of the attackers, khuram butt, trained. he was previously accused of running terrorism training camps in pakistan, but today he strenuously denied any connection with the attackers. sarah walton is at the old bailey now. what's been happening in court? the court heard from sajeel shahid, who as you say run a gym in east london where the three london bridge attackers would meet up to train. the court also heard that mr shahid set upa the court also heard that mr shahid set up a religious school where one of the attackers, khuram butt, volunteered to teach the koran. in court mr shahid denied the allegations he has faced in the past that he ran terrorist training camps in pakistan, he said that simply was not true. when asked about his relationship specifically was koran but he said that he was not aware of his extremist views, he said he personally had no extremist views and that he himself was average by the attacks on london bridge and borough market. —— when asked about

his relationship with khuram butt. he was also questioned in court about hundreds of text messages between his mobile phone and a mobile phone belonging to khuram butt in the months leading up to the attack. he said they were purely to do with the business of the gym, where mr but was a volunteer. until today mr shahid has refused to co—operate with the investigation into the attacks. but before he left the stand he said he would be in principle happy with the police examining his mobile phone, he promised not to delete any material on there but we understand he has not yet handed over that device to the police. the court has also heard today from the sister of khuram butt and she described him as an ordinary boy growing up, into health and sport and fitness, but said that changed in around 2012 when he became more religious and started encouraging her to cover her head. she said she hoped that was a phase he will grow out of. she said

neither she nor anybody in her family had any idea what he was planning and when she found out her brother was involved in the london bridge attacks, she said she was physically sick several times. we are into the eighth week of evidence being given here at the old bailey in the inquest into the deaths of eight people killed at the london bridge attacks in june eight people killed at the london bridge attacks injune 2017. the evidence has finished for today but will continue tomorrow, and we understand this inquest will come to an end sometime this week. thank you. the former deputy prime minister and labour peer lord prescott has been admitted to hospital after suffering a stroke. his family announced that the 81—year—old was taken ill on friday and have praised the staff at hull royal infirmary‘s a&e and stroke units. they asked for privacy to allow him "time and space to make a full recovery". the number of cases uncovered by a maternity review at hospitals in shropshire has more than doubled. an investigation by nhs improvement found more than 300 new cases of concern

at the shrewsbury and telford hospitals nhs trust. they're in addition to more than 250 cases already under investigation by the independent maternity review. the new cases are understood to include still births and deaths of babies in the final stages of labour. both nhs improvement and the trust have been asked to comment. a man who pushed a former eurotunnel boss on to tube tracks in central london has been sentenced to life in prison at the old bailey today, and ordered to serve a minimum of 12 years injail. sir robert malpas was on the platform at marble arch station when he was shoved by paul crossley, last year. the 91—year—old industrialist was rescued by a bystander but suffered a fractured pelvis and a head wound. crossley also attempted to push another man onto the tracks at tottenham court road station. our news correspondent leigh milner was at the old bailey for the sentencing and says

the court heard 47—year—old paul crossley suffered from mental health illness (sot ——from mental health illness. we heard in court how he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia when he was just 17 years old, and on the day of the attacks, he had forgotten, he said, to take his medication and instead took £600 worth of cocaine. now, he told us in court that he heard voices inside his head telling him to harm someone, and the judge said that he posed a grave and enduring risk to the public. in this case, crossley was given a hybrid order which means he will first be detained in hospital under section asa of the mental health act as long as considered necessary, before he serves his sentence of life imprisonment with a minimum term of 12 years. a detective inspector from the british transport police gave his reaction to today's sentencing outside court. it's been a long and traumatic process for his victims,

andi traumatic process for his victims, and i would like to commend them for their strength and resilience throughout. the physical and emotional impact of such a determined and unprovoked attack really cannot be underestimated. i would like to also echo the judge because my comments in recognising the exceptional bravery of members of the public who stepped in to help restrain crossley. without them, the damage he could have gone on to cause simply doesn't bear thinking about. —— i would like to echo the judge's comments. the uk's first gambling addiction clinic for children and young adults will open in london in september. it's funded by nhs england and aims to support people aged 13—25. an estimated 450,000 children regularly bet, either with friends, on fruit machines, or online. lauren moss reports. happy family memories, captured on camera.

jack richie dancing with his mother liz. 18 months ago, when he was 2a, jack took his own life while on a gap year in vietnam after losing money on a bet. he started gambling when he was 17 at college in sheffield with friends during their lunch breaks, but it was a habit that spiralled into addiction. they didn't think it was unsafe, he didn't think it was unsafe. and i think, i think he felt, in the end, that it controlled him and that's why he died, really, because he felt he would never be free of it. jack's parents now run a charity to support other families. they're welcoming the news that a clinic for young people with gambling problems will open in london in september, in what has, until now, been an adult only service. it's estimated 450,000 children are regularly betting — more than those who drink alcohol, smoke or use drugs. many are doing it through video games, fruit machines or sports, despite age restrictions.

james started gambling when he was 16 and lost thousands of pounds. i was able to access betting sites through using parents accounts, and also people putting bets on for me. so it was just about the ease and accessibility from a really young age that was worrying, alongside the sheer prevalence of advertising at that age. group therapy and one—to—one sessions at the clinic will also focus on mental illnesses related to gambling, such as depression, anxiety and substance misuse. i've dedicated my life to treating adult problem gamblers and that has been sad enough, seeing the destruction that these people have incurred. having said this, many of my adult patients were already children with problem gambling issues. new adult clinics will also open in leeds, manchester and sunderland to stop what nhs bosses have described as the scourge of problem gambling ruining more lives. lauren moss, bbc news.

the senior facebook executive and former deputy prime minister sir nick clegg says he wants to create a new oversight board for the company, with the power to make independent rulings on whether questionable content should be removed. he was speaking to the bbc ahead of a major speech in germany this evening and says facebook should play a ‘mature role' in advocating, rather than shunning, regulation. i think it is absolutely right that companies like facebook acknowledge the mistakes that they have made. and of course mistakes have been made. it is just that i don't think that it is in any way conceivable, and more than that, i don't actually think it's right for private companies to set the rules of the road for something which is as profoundly important as how technology serves society. and in the end, this is not something that big tech companies, from the united states or elsewhere, can or should do on their own. and, look, i'm of the view that some people sort of yell at tech.

i think it's important that we fix tech and resolve this tension that does exist between the amazing benefits that technology brings but it also brings risks to society. and i want to see, and that's part of my newjob, companies like facebook play an increasingly mature role, not shunning regulation but actually advocating it in a sensible way. good evening. it's going to turn a thundery across central and southern parts of the country tonight, humidity has been building today, everywhere but notably across the south. and central and southern parts of england could see a risk of storms overnight, certainly early on. it's a dry start to the night, some rain across northern scotland, to the south some rain pushing up from france will push into central

and southern england, some very heavy rain, could be frequent lightning and a risk of surface water flooding. very lightning and a risk of surface waterflooding. very muggy, humid in the south, less so across northern areas. evening to tuesday, we could see some disruption from heavy rain across parts of wales as well, northern england, eastern england. it could turn drier into the afternoon, but with humidity still in place across the south, we could see further heavy showers and thunderstorms developing here, top temperatures 27 degrees, less hot further north. cooler weather in the middle part of the week, and the heat returning with a vengeance by the end of the week, temperatures perhaps reaching the low 30s celsius across the south, and humidity on the rise, too.

this is bbc news. the headlines. president trump imposes new sanctions on iran and its supreme

leader as tensions continue to rise between the countries. these measures represent a strong and proportionate response to eran's increasingly provocative actions. we will continue to increase pressure until the regime abandons its activities and aspiration. jeremy hunt tells his fellow conservative leadership candidate borisjohnson to "man up" and face him in a tv debate this week. a man is sentenced to life in prison — for pushing one man onto the tracks of the london underground — and trying to do the same to another. the uk's first gambling addiction clinic for young people is to be opened by nhs england — it's thought more than 50,000 children have a problem. time for the afternoon sport. thank you very much, the race to reach the women's world cup quarterfinals continues today with spain in action right now on bbc two against the

raining champions and tournament favourites united states and what a start to this game we have seen. two goals in the opening nine minutes. the us took the lead with a penalty but a defensive error saw spain come back two and a half minutes later. the first goal the defending champions have conceded in the tournament so far. these are live pictures. as i say, you can watch the match on bbc two right now live. don't forget to take pm this evening sweden take on canada in paris and you can watch that on the red button, iplayer and the bbc sport website and app. rafael benitez will leave newcastle united when his contract expires on 30thjune. beneath his took over in march 2016 and although he couldn't save them from relegation he led them to the championship title and two successive finishes. he has received a £20 million a year offer to take

over a chinese super league club. australia's cricket captain aaron finch has said the two players banned for tampering with the ball against south africa last year will be unaffected by any booing from english fans when the sides meet in the world cup tomorrow. they both served a year ban for their actions but both, especially warner, have beenin but both, especially warner, have been in good form in the tournament so been in good form in the tournament so far. many in the game have discouraged booing but the england captain says it is not up to him to tell the cloud how to feel. you don't know how sports fans are going to react. they are entitled to have their own view. just because punishment was handed out and the two guys serve their punishment doesn't mean they're going to be accepted back into the cricket community straightaway with open arms. it will take time. it hasn't affected our boys one bit, i can honestly say. if anything it has givena bit honestly say. if anything it has

given a bit more motivation. as a player, you don't tend to hear a lot of stuff from the fans. you hear noise but not specifics so i am sure it is the last thing on their mind when they're out to bat, if a handful of people or the whole stadium booing. doesn't make any difference as to how hard they watch the ball or doubt themselves that anything like that. it is like white noise to be fair. meanwhile, team news from england concerning jason roy. scans on a torn hamstring have shown improvement but he only had a gentle work—out. he now hopes to be back for the game against india on sunday. the world number one ashleigh barty has pulled out of the tennis at eastbourne as she manages an ongoing arm injury. she won the french open and birmingham classic yesterday. she says she needs to rest and recover before wimbledon which starts onjuly one. the world number three karolina pliskova has

reached the last 16. you can watch live coverage from eastbourne on the bbc sport website. and that is all the sport for now. as i said, more support from the bbc on the website including news that italy will host the 2026 winter olympics skating, sports and ice hockey will be back in milan while alpine skiing events ta ke in milan while alpine skiing events take place in cortina. more on the website. thank you very much. let's return to our top story. the conservative leadership contest. it's been a torrid time for the frontrunner boris johnson, with three days of questions over his private life, after a row with his partner carrie symonds. and now he's facing accusations from his opponentjeremy hunt of failing to "man up" and debate with him on tv. opinion has been split on whether mrjohnson should have to answer questions about his private life. but ultimately it is the views of 160,000 conservative members — who will decide who should be the next tory leader

and prime minister — that count. to discuss this further, i'm joined by three of those voters. thomas ashby is a conservative councillor for witney town council in oxfordshire and joins me from there. and holly whitbread is in epping — she's a conservative councillor for epping forest district council. and finally we have nick varley — conservative councillor for chiltern district council in buckinghamshire. he's in our westminster studio. thomas, who are us at the beginning of this contest and where are you now? i believe he is the candidate the country needs and the party needs. he is open to unite us and he has told us he would take it out sist has told us he would take it out 31st october if there is no deal on

site and he is right. i think if there is a deal on site we should go on and take the deal even if it ta kes two on and take the deal even if it takes two weeks beyond 31st october. and when he talks to his opponent in terms of manning up and suggests he isa terms of manning up and suggests he is a coward, doesn't help his cause? i think boris needs to take part in these leadership debates because it is not just these leadership debates because it is notjust the conservative party who will be —— who he will be in charge of, it is the country. holly, where we you at the beginning of the contest where we you at the beginning of the co ntest a nd where we you at the beginning of the contest and where are you now?|j where we you at the beginning of the contest and where are you now? i was backing boris at the beginning and i am backing boris now. a number of reasons, he promised to deliver brexit on 31st of october deal or no deal. and as a local councillor campaigned a lot in the recent elections and what i really saw was that there is a real loss of trust in democracy and the democratic process and part of that is to do with brexit and i believe boris will do that and beyond that i believe in

his conservative policies and i think he will be a brilliant electoral force in the future. you talked about policies, which of course ultimately are the most important aspect of this. what about his private life, do aspects of that not concern you at all? i think his private life as his private life, i am interested in his policy and that he is going to deliver brexit. not a concern at all? actually, boris's personality is something that really attracts me to him. i think he is very much a really appealing character and we want our politicians to be human. do we want to empty pet dies with them? it is normal for people to have arguments with their partner, so we want politicians to be human and relatable, i think that is ok. and actually i would also question the motive of the person who recorded him because it seems to be very much a political motive they won't ever

know. where are you on this at the beginning of the process and now?m the first instance i was supporting michael gove who was knocked out la st michael gove who was knocked out last week, because i think delivering brexit is at heart a technical issue and one that requires extreme competence to build a coalition in parliament and secure concessions for europe and to be able to get it all through and actually delivered by 31st october. i think michael gove was the candidate with the track record that proves he would be able to do that. it is also really important to me that the next prime minister genuinely believes that brexit is an opportunity for the country, not just a risk to be mitigated, so at the moment, given michael gove is no longer an option, i am leaning boris. i am struck by your use of

the phrase at the moment. what might change your mind? i hope to be able to watch a lively campaign over the next four weeks and i think ultimately it is important to remember conservative party members are it's quite lucky to be in this position. we have two genuinely brilliant candidates who i honestly believe it would both make an excellent prime minister, so i have two great choices and i am not quite sure who i am going to end up taking. it is good to have a cross—section of views from all three of you. it's been reported that cabinet ministers have been warned that a number of the conservative party's biggest donors will stop giving money if mrjohnson becomes leader. john griffin is the founder of taxi firm addison lee and has donated more than £4 million to the tory party since 2013. hejoins me now. good evening. are you on doubts about future donations? let'sjust

say, i wouldn't like to assume that iam say, i wouldn't like to assume that i am passing out donations like biscuits but at the same time, it is a problem, and i am surprised he is not overcoming it. you are talking about boris johnson? boris in my mind, the altercation at his house, thatis mind, the altercation at his house, that is just a five—minute explanation and move on, but because there is no explanation we don't move on and it is troublesome that it has happened that he has not dealt with it. as a prime minister i would expect him to be well able to deal with minutiae like that. it seems that as we look closer at his personal life there are concerns about his extramarital engagements, about his extramarital engagements, about the number of children he has or has not had. i think he needs to clea n or has not had. i think he needs to clean up that mist. on that first

point, we saw conversation earlier on with the programme who said it was a private matter, the police we re co nte nt was a private matter, the police were content there was nothing else to deal with, end of. i were content there was nothing else to dealwith, end of. i am not sure how private that private matter is. iam how private that private matter is. i am engaged as you are in the search for the next prime minister. but at the same time it is difficult for us to make a firm decision u nless we for us to make a firm decision unless we have support and input. we need certain questions answered. it isa need certain questions answered. it is a nightmare for his private life, do we want a prime minister his private life is a nightmare? that private life is a nightmare? that private life, leaving aside what may or may not have happened a few days ago, has been widely written about and scrutinised and the analysis would be that it is colourful and those who are backing him have factored that into what they are

deciding? up till now i think you are right but suddenly it has taken ona are right but suddenly it has taken on a new momentum. because number ten looms? yes. number ten in the altercation that his property, things like that suddenly kicked off another enquiry into the detail and i think people are now concerns. this is not a game we are playing. this is not a game we are playing. this is not a game we are playing. this is the prime minister. but you saw our second contributor, a passionate borisjohnson supporter. when you put to her any concerns that might exist about his private life, as far as she is concerned it doesn't matter. and that is the point of view, but to me, it is our business. we are the people. we need to know, and all i am saying is that we shouldn't be told it is none of your business, it is our business. what bearing if he wins, and he is the favourite to do so, what influence will that have on you in terms of future funding plans?

influence will that have on you in terms of future funding plans7m there are any at the moment. my concerns are that now, if we move on, what solutions i see coming out with. what is anybody coming up with. what is anybody coming up with. teddies are made to my mind that a fantastic job with. teddies are made to my mind that a fantasticjob in difficult circumstances. and now she has passed on the button to somebody else and i think it is going to be a very difficult task for anybody to undertake. butjust to be blunt, if borisjohnson becomes undertake. butjust to be blunt, if boris johnson becomes prime minister, are you going to fund the tory party are not? i will consider it. iam not tory party are not? i will consider it. i am not saying i tory party are not? i will consider it. iam not saying i am tory party are not? i will consider it. i am not saying i am sat here with a black and white opinion. i am interested in the detail and want to know who i am talking to and where he is on this, so from my point of view, it is an unqualified yes but at the same time, the biggest nightmare of all would be if the labour party were to get on board and that is one thing to bear in mind, what the alternatives might be. i think he is doing a disservice

to the party by not explaining to all of us the detail and what happened that evening and what on earth is going on in his private life, and how has he got so many extramarital affairs. we will leave it there. it's being described as a pivotal moment in turkey's recent history — with wild celebrations in istanbul following victory for the republican's people's party in the city's mayoral election. it was the second time voters there had gone to the polls — after president erdogan demanded a re—count. there was one — and he was defeated even more heavily. in his victory speech, ekrem imamolu said he would build democracy in the city. a warning — mark lowen's report contains some cheering. this is what political magic in turkey looks like. the opposition has waited a quarter of a century

to win back istanbul, to find their voice against president erdogan. now they have it — roaring to success, ekrem imamoglu winning the most important city in turkey by a landslide. cheered as a hero as he gave his trademark positive message. translation: this society will be greeted with freedoms. this society will also fix wrongdoing, you will see. i have faith in our people and i also believe that people have faith in democracy. istanbul awoke to its new mayor and turkey to a turning point. as a woman, i feel more positive and i believe him a lot. it is a new step for all of us. now i come back here to vote because i believe we can change something and now i'm part of that and so proud of it and maybe i can come back to my country. i'm happy. it is the biggest setback for the 25 year career of president erdogan. turkey's powerful, polarising leader

gambled on a rerun here and it backfired spectacularly — it will now prompt talk of the beginning of his end. those persecuted here finally see respite, like this journalist detained for insulting the president. turkey is the world's leading jailer of journalists. translation: we knew that sooner or later erdogan would be beaten. he said himself democracy is like a tram — you ride it until you need and then you get off. it will not be easy to undo the harm that erdogan has done to this country, but this election gives us faith in the future. for turkey's opposition half, this result encapsulates so many emotions. joy at victory and relief at finally beating president erdogan. defiance that their more secular, liberal values can prevail in today's turkey and pride that despite being battered so much in recent years,

turkish democracy can bounce back. a crucial but divided country is at a watershed. turks like backing the winner, and for now, it feels like they have found a new one. mark lowen, bbc news, istanbul. the headlines on bbc news. president trump imposes new sanctions on iran and its supreme leader as tensions continue to rise between the two countries. jeremy hunt tells his fellow conservative leadership candidate borisjohnson to "man up" and face him in a tv debate this week. a man is sentenced to life in prison — for the attempted murder of two people who he pushed on tube platforms. a little bit more information about what president trump has announced the last few moments, with respect to the sanctions against iran and

specifically aiming at the supreme leader on this occasion. the us secretary treasurer has said the new executive order would lock up additional billions of dollars in iranian assets, squeezing the country further amid escalating tensions with washington. he said the order was in the works before last week's downing by ron of the us military surveillance drone but was in response to that as well as previous iranian actions in the gulf. and a little bit more, those sanctions are also imposed on eight senior commanders of iran's revolutionary guard. also part of that treasury statement, so a little bit more information emerging from the washington administration about the washington administration about the impact of that announcement by president trump in the last three quarters of an hour. a pilot has

been killed after two eurofighter jets crashed in north—eastern germany. it occurred nearer military base and then eastern state. a second pilot was able to crush to safety. an online funding campaign set up to support an online funding campaign set up to support australian rugby player australian rugby player israel falau has been closed down. the 30—year—old was sacked earlier this year — after posting messages on social media saying gay people would go to hell. the gofundme site said it was committed to equality — and would return the nearly £a00,000 raised. as the world seeks to cut carbon dioxide emissions — and attempt to reduce the impact of climate change — scientists are meeting in germany to explore how to put carbon dioxide to useful purposes — including for commercial gain. until recently it was assumed emissions from industry would have to be buried to prevent them escaping into the atmosphere, but inventors are now finding ways to use c02 as a valuable raw material. some firms say they are already making a profit by turning c02 into fertilisers and bubbles

forfizzy drinks. our environment analyst roger harrabin has more. how can we store c02? well, let's start in the north of england, where they're making building blocks with c02. yes, building blocks. it sounds unlikely, but they mix the c02 with ash from a household waste incinerator. making the blocks involves an awesome chemical process. watch this. that is incinerator ash mixed with water. this is carbon dioxide. here we go. shake it all about. the c02 has been completely absorbed and is turned into a solid. here's the chemistry on an industrial scale, two wastes making a useful product.

here, we're taking carbon dioxide, we're treating the waste and making a limestone and there are other companies that are doing all manner of different things with carbon dioxide. in suffolk, these mounds of horse manure are being turned into c02 bubbles for drinks. the horse poo and straw mix comes here to these gigantic tanks. they're like large stomachs full of bacteria that gobble up the mix and produce two streams of gas, one of them is methane. that goes to heat peoples' homes and help cook peoples' dinners. the other stream of gas is carbon dioxide, pure carbon dioxide, and they're selling that. bizarrely, it's being bought by pubs to put the fizz into lager and lemonade. you can't taste it, of course. near swindon, they're making fertiliser with c02. the first ingredient is this fibrous stuff, it's left over after you've put cow dung into a biogas digester, like the one we just saw.

this stuff is low in nutrients, little use for crop fertiliser, so the firm adds a liquid waste from the fertiliser industry, along with nutrients and, crucially, c02. here's what you get — little pellets of top—class fertiliser. what's most satisfying for us is to take a material like carbon dioxide, which is fundamentally useless, as far as most people are concerned, and positively harmful, and then transform that into something that is beneficial. these technologies won't solve climate change but they will help, a bit. roger harrabin, bbc news. it's been 15 years since former oasis frontman liam gallagher stepped out onto the famous pyramid stage at glastonbury, but on saturday he'll be back. with his second solo album on the way, he took a break from rehearsals to speak to colin paterson about politics, and that famous feud with his brother noel.

you've got a busy time at the moment. yeah. shockwave, the single. yeah. sounds like you're quite angry. # you sold me right up the river. # you had to hold me back... i'm sure a lot of people would just, you know, be lazy and go, "oh, it's about your brother." but there's a lot of snide people out there, notjust him. you know what i mean? so it could be aimed at a lot of people. that's up to you to find out, isn't it? # it's coming round like a shock wave. there's a lot of protests going on, what would you protest about in life? i'm not into politics and all that, but i do keep an eye on it. but i don't know much about brexit and that, but i'd have a word with the mayor. he seems to not be doing a good job, you know what i mean? all them kids getting knifed and all that. and the only thing that ever comes out of his mouth is, "london is open". what, open for knife crime and dying and stuff? every time you wake up in the morning, there's some 16—year—old kid been knifed to death. and i've got kids at that age, you know what i mean? out and about, going doing

their thing, you know what i mean? living, being young and all that. so that freaks me right out. it's been one of the strange things about recently, suddenly all these politicians are coming out and saying that they've been taking drugs in the past. yeah, yeah. shame on them. i wasjust wondering if you ever, have you ever seen a politician take drugs? no, no. i don't hang out with politicians and i don't hang out with celebrities that hang out with politicians. or these fake rock and roll stars that hang out with politicians. ijust hang out with me and my missus and my kids and my mates. i don't knock about in that vibe. if i did see a politician taking drugs, man, he'd get a crack round the head. like that. what are you doing, you doughnut? you know what i mean? you wouldn't approve? no, no. they're meant to be running the country, aren't they? it is ten years since oasis split up. yeah. can you believe that? not really, no. it hasn't split up in my mind, you know what i mean, when i think about it. you know what i mean? i just think someone's just been abducted by some strange thing, you know what i mean? i'm still fighting the cause, you know what i mean, for it.

whether it's under my name or what, i still do oasis songs and that because i sang them and i feel like they're a big part of me, you know what i mean? just because, you know. and there's a lot of people going, i can't believe he's still doing noel‘s songs. they're not noel‘s songs. they were written for the band called oasis. what's strange to me is the fact that you obviously want the band to get back together, in spite of this. i don't want the band to get back together, we shouldn't have split up, you know what i mean? there was no big deal, you know what i mean? he's making out as if i stabbed one of his cats or, you know, slapped one of his kids or dare i say it, tried it on with his missus, you know what i mean? it's like, leave it out, mate. it's like, we had a little argument, you know what i mean? thank you very much. you're welcome. that was great. time for a look at the weather. here's the forecast. and very humid today and we have had

showers and thunderstorms, still a few rumbling around the well— english border, but tonight we will see the heaviest and most sundry downpours across central and eastern england. it is because we are importing very warm and humid air of the near continent and this trigger mechanism willjust the near continent and this trigger mechanism will just enhance the near continent and this trigger mechanism willjust enhance the showerfor mechanism willjust enhance the shower for the storm activity during the second half of the night. a few thunderstorms around up to the english— welsh border, a few across western scotland, rein in the north and it turns dry for many, very warm and it turns dry for many, very warm and humid and increasingly humid across the south. the met office have a number of yellow warnings and force for heavy rain, one across wales in the north west of england but it is this one we are most concerned about with the risk of thunderstorms. heavy rain moves out of france during the second part of the night into central and southern england then on to the midlands, south east and east anglia as we head through tuesday morning. the colours mean there could be severe and embedded thunderstorms with the chance of some surface water. some

areas really will have a bit of wild weather. very humid in the south, less so across the north but as we head through tuesday morning, travel disruption in the morning commute and eastern england the heavy rain continues, slowly released down through the day, but the damage arising with high humidity in central southern areas and we could see further showers breaking out, highs of 27 celsius, further north humid. into the middle part of the week, this area of high pressure bring something cool than fresh, less humidity to our shores for a few days before the heat builds up by the end of the week. northerly winds pushing down across scotland into northern ireland and northern england. variable amounts of cloud, some areas could be quite grey, cool down the east coast with the best of the temperature further west, 23 celsius, cooler than what we have seen celsius, cooler than what we have seen then the area of high pressure moves back across the east,

low— pressure moves back across the east, low—pressure to the west, drawing up the southerly winds into the near continent, tapping into the heat and humidity and by the end of the week and the start of the weekend, high 20s in the north, low 30s in the south. so heating up after a cooler speu south. so heating up after a cooler spell around the middle part of the week, turning humid again with increasingly warm and muggy night and as we head through the weekend, cool conditions spreading from the west with further heavy showers and thunderstorms. set to turn much hotter by the end of the week.

today at six: the conservative leadership race — jeremy hunt calls borisjohnson a coward for not agreeing to a live debate. the two were meant to go head—to—head on sky tomorrow. mr hunt is not pulling his punches. i think today's news that sky are cancelling their debate risks discrediting this election, and risks making conservative party members think that they are being taken for granted, and i think it's very disrespectful to them. some tory mps tell the bbc they would support a no—confidence motion if either candidate tries to leave the eu without a deal. also tonight: jailed for life for attempted murder. the man who pushed the former eurotunnel boss on to the tube tracks. is facebook so powerful that it needs greater regulation?
