mills and boon seen that takes us awful. pretty downing from a right—wing supporting newspaper.m is another hostile headline. it is exactly what the boris johnson campaign didn't want to see. they have been trying to shutdown this i’ow have been trying to shutdown this row after the guardian got hold of this tape from these neighbours. they have been trying to spin it as eight lovers to. whoever leaked this photograph, or gave this photograph to the mail online, seems to have been trying to show that everything is fine, everything is rosy in their relationship. itjust is fine, everything is rosy in their relationship. it just seems to is fine, everything is rosy in their relationship. itjust seems to have stirred up questions about it that, the fact that they felt the need to do this. lets move on to the guardian. this is your story. they have obviously much this media blitz that will be coming out tomorrow. the bbc has just ran an interview in

hello and welcome to our look the last half—hour with boris ahead to what the the papers will be johnson. picking out some of things bringing us tomorrow. he said. he said the northern with me are henry zeffman, ireland question should be sorted out after an influent eight and. he political correspondent for the times, and rowena mason deputy political editor says the withdrawal agreement is for the guardian. many of tomorrow's front dead. he is going to get some pages are already in. alternative arrangement. —— after an keep calm and carry on is the front implementation period. let start page of the metro. it shows a with the idea of an implementation picture of boris johnson period. borisjohnson with the idea of an implementation period. boris johnson has with the idea of an implementation period. borisjohnson has been saying that the uk can leave without page of the metro. it shows a picture of borisjohnson and his a deal, without a full deal, on current girlfriend. apparently happy together after the row last week, the paper says sources around mr october 31. and then sort out a free johnson played down suggestions that trade agreement during the the picture was staged. the daily transition. as the bbc pointed out mirror it believes the picture was staged and says pressure is mounting on burris to come clean about that tonight, the implementation period is part of the withdrawal agreement argument. the daily telegraph also that he rejects. if you do not agree has that same picture but quotes the with the withdrawal deal you do not reckons bird's exclusive interview have a transition within which to for the bbc with mrjohnson. who negotiate anything, let alone a says it is not right that his loved comprehensive free trade deal. he didn't have an answer to that in the ones be dragged into politics but he interview. he effectively said the eu might want to give us a had a right to proceed. the guardian claims borisjohnson had a right to proceed. the guardian claims boris johnson is had a right to proceed. the guardian claims borisjohnson is planning a transition period because things media blitz with a number of closely

have changed, the politics have managed public appearances after changed. if i were a conservative being branded a bottler byjeremy hunt after he failed to agree to ta ke hunt after he failed to agree to take part in a head—to—head debate mps, there are lots of conservative mps, there are lots of conservative mps who voted for theresa may's deal on sky tomorrow. the daily mail also three times but never —— but has that picture of borisjohnson nevertheless supported borisjohnson and his girlfriend on its front for leadership. i would page, as well as the story that nevertheless supported borisjohnson for leadership. iwould be nevertheless supported borisjohnson for leadership. i would be worried that there might not be in boris claims that harry and megan are johnson's office a grand plan for spending £2.5 million of public what he does when he gets into money renovating their winter home. downing street. the grand plan might and the sun has the same story. it just be saying the right things to get in to downing street. i says the final bill could be closer certainly think this interview tonight, and any more interviews he to £3 million. it quotes officials does, although his media blitz which say a substantial overall was tomorrow is mostly tightly controlled stuff with maybe some needed. let us start with the only occasional moving images. i would start to be worried that that will photo in town. the only show at the fuel concerns about what honours his moment. that is the borisjohnson actual plan is. tell us more about show. he tries to keep the show on this guardian story in terms of what the road. it is a surprising headline for a paper that is is planned for tomorrow. he was supposed to be having this sky com pletely headline for a paper that is completely backing him. yes, boris head—to—head debate. there is a johnson is the favourite to become picture ofjeremy hunt on the front the next prime minister and a weekly of the paper accusing borisjohnson columnist for the daily telegraph. of the paper accusing borisjohnson of being a bottler. that has had

he was before he became foreign secretary and again since he left government. they had as their front page story are: by him only this some traction in the last few days. morning. what is going on here is borisjohnson's that boris johnson some traction in the last few days. boris johnson's campaign is some traction in the last few days. borisjohnson's campaign is emerging morning. what is going on here is that borisjohnson is really struggling to shake off the story from the submarine, coming out of the bunker and trying to prove that about the police being called to the he hasn't been in hiding. but on the flat he shares with his partner. or flip side, these appearances are perhaps in the early hours of last going to be very tightly staged —— friday morning. this is about boris stage—managed. they are not going to johnson trying to get his campaign back on track. the picture on the be free for all, intensive grilling front page of every paper tomorrow is. what are they? things like a shows this story has not gone away, they have not managed to kill it and walkabout, a speech to a it is still the main thing people horticultural society and afternoon are talking about. the photograph tea. things that are geared towards has a little story underneath it, conservative members, a friendly audience. it doesn't appear there is the picture —— like a picture paints an open invitation to all of the a thousand words but raises many media to come along to these events. more questions. also by the they are going to be close? i'm not telegraph. there's a lot of speculation about who has leach this sure they are necessarily going to video, friends of the girlfriends be closed but they are certainly not and is there a bit of a split as free and open as manyjournalists between the official borisjohnson would like. really, he is picking campaign? it isjust giving it more legs. yes, this is a very -- this and choosing what he does. he is

doing an interview here and there. photo has a mysterious provenance. he is not doing all of the it emerged with no credit about head—to—head debates except one with where it has come from. boris itv. he is trying to put off this johnson's campaign are denying knowledge of it. they say the first sky. which is after the voting has then you of it was when it appeared on this website. to all intents and already started. yes. the picture on purposes it looks like a very staged the front page of the guardian is photograph. it's hard to see how a jeremy hunt doing a televised photographer could have got that interview yesterday. he has done close unseen and without permission. the effect of that —— like it is loads. it is easier for interview yesterday. he has done loads. it is easierfor him interview yesterday. he has done loads. it is easier for him to interview yesterday. he has done loads. it is easierfor him to do that, he is the firm underdogs and perhaps if he were the frontrunner that it has brought their by as much of a margin as boris relationship into the headlines another day. his campaign very much johnson, he wouldn't be so generous with all media outlets. it is wa nt another day. his campaign very much want everyone to focus on his policy important not just for our of leaving the eu by october 31. his with all media outlets. it is important notjust for our purposes but also if you are a conservative mps trying to pick a winner, the problem with theresa may is that she personal life is once again in the didn't have a proper 2016 leadership foreground. it's interesting that campaign because andrea leadsom the telegraph has acknowledged that pulled out and it'll happen quickly. the telegraph has acknowledged that the borisjohnson the telegraph has acknowledged that the boris johnson campaign the telegraph has acknowledged that the borisjohnson campaign is in some trouble with this headline, he she was never properly tested under fire. they assumed that because she tries to keep the show on the road. was quite good at the dispatch box it has drawn out the double standard and had a decent grip on the home office that she would work in a over privacy that he is exhibiting general election. it became clear because on the one hand he has given when she called a snap election that this a tribute to the bbc saying she wasn't very good at complaining.

that he doesn't like his loved ones conservative mps have chosen boris being dragged into the headlines. johnson because they think he can wina johnson because they think he can win a general election and is the and that it's not fair on them to answer questions about this argument only person who can. he is not that he had with parra. and yet this proving it because he is doing very little of the sorts of rough—and—tumble scrutiny that you photograph has appeared. do you do face is a prime minister in think the questions about his private life, which go back many general election time. by refusing to go head—to—head they can't have yea rs private life, which go back many years and many people have got many stories, whether they are true or that direct confrontation and not, you think the people that don't contrast of policies. the specifics care? what is the polling evidence? of how to get round the brexit i don't think we have had, —— conundrum. a little bit more detail comprehensive polling of party in the independent which is saying members since the story broke. but borisjohnson said no deal will to his lead appears pretty much topple tory government. this is what insurmountable. and i think it is rory stewart was trying to get to in ha rd to insurmountable. and i think it is hard to see this shift anywhere near the debates last week. the key question that laura asked, how are enough forjeremy hunt to pull off an enormous political upset. it's you going to deliver by the end of possible this will move the dial a august —— make the end of october? bit because even if conservative party members think he has been the other questions he is being asked, what are you going to do if wronged by his neighbours or his parliament blocks it? this is the partner's neighbours wronged by his neighbours or his pa rtner‘s neighbours taking wronged by his neighbours or his partner's neighbours taking their tape to the guardian, they might key, extremely important question still in the back of their minds that conservative members will have

think, i had forgotten about the to think about. does boris johnson problems in his personal life. it have the support of parliament to might give some of them are little achieve brexit on october 31? all bit more positive thoughts about the the evidence at the moment is that questions of his character and he doesn't because parliament whether they matter before deciding whether they matter before deciding whether to put him into downing doesn't want theresa may's deal. street. moving onto the daily mail, brussels has said it doesn't want to renegotiate that deal. parliament the same photo, their headline, as has also said it doesn't want a he refuses to discuss that row, the no—deal brexit. there is still busy and pass. senior conservative mps are saying they would be prepared to vote down borisjohnson's government evenif vote down borisjohnson's government even if it was only a few months old if he were to try and push through a fio if he were to try and push through a no deal without the consent of parliament. that is a very serious threat. something that could end up in an election far sooner than boris johnson might otherwise have wanted. but it is becoming an increasingly likely possibility. it's worth pointing out what a nuclear option that is. borisjohnson‘s team would wa nt to that is. borisjohnson‘s team would want to point that out because they think they can call a lot of these conservative mps's bluff. the

conservative mps's bluff. the conservative defence minister, tobias ellwood, says he thinks around a dozen would be willing —— willing to vote down the government. he later made it clear he wouldn't be one of them. and burrard said last week i think this would happen but i won't do it. —— amber rudd. there is pretty good reason, they are conservative mps. the second is that they would be doing themselves out of a job because they wouldn't be able to stand as conservative candidates in the general election that would follow. i'm not saying borisjohnson will necessarily that would follow. i'm not saying boris johnson will necessarily try to call their bluff because that could rebound spectacularly, but i think you will see a bit more from conservative brexiteer is, people around boris johnson, conservative brexiteer is, people around borisjohnson, if it is him, are you around borisjohnson, if it is him, a re you really around borisjohnson, if it is him, are you really going to bring down the government? some of them have little to lose, they might be retiring. dominic grieve, and they have only a tiny majority. there is

another by—election coming. have only a tiny majority. there is another by-election coming. former labour mps have gone to change uk, somewhere briefly in change uk and are now independence again. some of them won't fancy losing their jobs. the mathematics is very tight. i'm not saying it won't happen but some of the suggestions of a dozen conservative mps might turn out to bea conservative mps might turn out to be a little bit. wattage you make of boris johnson's be a little bit. wattage you make of borisjohnson‘s interview on that, would he live with the new deal exit? —— what did you think of. he said it is definitely not what he wa nts. said it is definitely not what he wants. he could still ask for an extension. he says he won't but he could. we are talking about these 12 mps could. we are talking about these 12 mp5 on one side who were threatening to bring him down. another group on the other side of the party, the hardline eurosceptics, are holding his feet to the fire over the 31st of october. they are as determined

as the soft brexiteer is on the other side. it is not inconceivable that they would bring him down. we welcome back to this and much more in an hour. thanks very much indeed for now. we will be back at 11:30pm. we might have a few more front pages by then. if you want to catch up it is online at the website. you can catch up on the iplayer. thanks again. we will see you again soon. goodbye. hello. the heat and humidity have been rising over recent days. that is bringing the fuel for sunbaked showers and thunderstorms. keeping that warmth and humidity. not everywhere will be seeing showers.

mainly down to this frontal system moving in from the south, colliding with that humid air. the areas most at risk of heavy downpours and thunderstorms on tuesday, especially the morning, our eastern england, the morning, our eastern england, the midlands. some of those heavy downpours could bring potentialfor flash flooding. possible power cuts. frequent lightning and some gusty winds. the rain is slowly pushing towards the north—east through the day on tuesday. eventually clearing into the north sea. it may leave surface water lying. once the rain clears out of the way there will be a few more showers building, particularly through parts of wales, the midlands. northern ireland and scotla nd the midlands. northern ireland and scotland drier with some sunshine. their amount of cloud, temperatures in the mid—20s in the south. feeling warm and humid. tuesday night and overnight into wednesday, the rain clears, quite a lot of cloud across the country. another one, sticky night with flows between ten to 16 degrees. starting wednesday, once

the low pressure clears this high pressure starts to have more of an influence. that book lighten the weather down through the second half of this week. a cloudy story for many of us on wednesday morning. scotla nd many of us on wednesday morning. scotland and northern ireland with the best of the sunshine. letter on england and wales will brighten. one oi’ england and wales will brighten. one or two showers on the cards to the far south—west. later this week, as the high pressure has more of an influence, low pressure clears towards the west. starting to see things becoming a little bit warmer once again. that's because we are drawing in this south or south easterly wind. temperature society 31 degrees. the warmest of the weather probably towards western england and wales. a dry, sunny day on thursday with light winds, animal bit cooler around the north sea coasts with the breeze coming off the north sea. where you see the sunshine, cardiff one of the warmest spots, highs of 26 were 27 degrees. later in the week, staying dry,

sunny. hot and later in the week, staying dry, sunny. hotand humid but later in the week, staying dry, sunny. hot and humid but some uncomfortable night. goodbye for 110w.

this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00pm: amid accusations that he is avoiding media scrutiny and allegations about his personal life, borisjohnson speaks exclusively to the bbc.

the frontrunner to be the next prime minister insisted he could deliver brexit by the end of october. politics has changed so much since 29 march, and i think on both sides of the channel there is a really different understanding of what is possible. mrjohnson refused to answer questions about his private life, despite new pictures of him and his partner being published, and his opponent has criticised him for not taking part in a tv debate tomorrow. the conservative party will start to feel cheated of having a proper
