the race to be the next prime minister gets personal asjeremy hunt tries to turn the spotlight on to personality. the foreign secretary says the next prime minister should be trustworthy, otherwise the uk risks a general election and no brexit. thejudgment is, who is the person we trust as prime minister to go to brussels and bring back that deal? it's about the personality of our prime minister. just don't have any more rows. no more rows, no, no, all quiet, all quiet. borisjohnson tries to put questions about his private life behind him as he challenges his rival to take the uk out of eu by halloween. it is clear the underdog jeremy hunt is not going to let borisjohnson run

away with this race without a fight. as both men give more detail about their plans for brexit, we'll be asking how the eu will react. also tonight: a record penalty for southern water over "shocking" failures in some of its sewage treatment sites which led to waste water being spilt into the environment. trying to cool down as a heatwave hits france temperatures are expected to rise to more than a0 degrees celsius. held for weeks in squalid conditions — an outcry over america's treatment of detained migrant children on the border with mexico. and england's world cup hopes in the balance as they're beaten by australia at lords. and coming up on sportsday on bbc news... we're down to the final eight — but was it japan or the netherlands who clinched the last place in the quarter in france?

good evening. the two men vying for number 10 have been giving more details of what they would do if they became the next prime minister. borisjohnson said he would take britain out of the european union "come what may" by the end of october. butjeremy hunt described halloween as a "fake deadline", and said that was more likely to result in a general election. mr hunt said what mattered was choosing the right person to become prime minister, warning that it must be someone trustworthy. without trust, he said, there would be no negotiation in brussels, no deal, and possibly no brexit. here's our political editor, laura kuenssberg. jeremy hunt wants to persuade you he ought to be the next prime minister. he knows that means first of all, untangling an enormous mess. what would you do on day one in number ten to get out of the eu at the end of october? we have to approach this

differently. it is the biggest constitutional crisis i can remember. i would constitutional crisis i can remember. iwould have constitutional crisis i can remember. i would have the dup in my negotiating team, i would have the erg, the brexit purists because fundamentally i think there is a deal to be done. what would be different about the deal you would hope to achieve? changing the backstabber with guarantees we will not have a hard border on the island of ireland for obvious reasons. that is not too far from what boris johnson wants. you are putting forward something the european union has said no to on multiple occasions? it will be a technology led solution. i think everyone thinks within the next decade, we aren't going to have big border checks when it comes to goods because we will do these things online just as the rest of our lives has transformed. you won't have a deal unless there is a backstop, u nless deal unless there is a backstop, unless there is a credible idea

ready immediately and you are saying it is not ready immediately, you are saying within a decade. it is ready. now? yes it is. the eu don't want to accept this solution because the eu think we will have to stay in this customs union and stick to their tariffs. they said they wanted to keep us closer? this is a negotiation and they are obviously going to negotiate for what is, for them, the best outcome. but the reality is we ended up with a deal thatis reality is we ended up with a deal that is not going to get through parliament. when i talk to people in the eu, they understand that. unlike borisjohnson, you the eu, they understand that. unlike boris johnson, you are the eu, they understand that. unlike borisjohnson, you are willing to go beyond the october the 31st deadline but how long will you try to get a deal before you say time for no deal? that 31st of october come hell oi’ deal? that 31st of october come hell or high water deadline is a fake deadline. we will know well before the 31st of october if there is a deal to be done on the basis i have

said. if there isn't and if no deal is still on the table, i have been very clear, i will leave the european union without a deal. but i am not going to do that if there is the prospect of a better deal. he would make a decision before october the 31st on whether to leave without a deal? that is correct and i am very clear, if we haven't got the prospects of a deal that can get through parliament by that date, thatis through parliament by that date, that is the option i would choose. listening to you talking about your brexit plans is similar to talking to borisjohnson brexit plans is similar to talking to boris johnson about brexit plans is similar to talking to borisjohnson about his brexit plans. i on to borisjohnson about his brexit plans. ion ambition and low on country detail? i have been clear about the concrete detail and the judgment is, who is the person we trust as prime minister to go to brussels and bring back that deal? it is about the personality of our prime minister. if you choose someone prime minister. if you choose someone where there is no trust, there is going to be no negotiation, no deal. you don't trust boris johnson, he wouldn't be trustworthy

as prime minister? i would never make those comments... i would serve borisjohnson to the very best of my ability. foreign secretary, you have just set sat there in a race of two and talked about someone we can trust like me or someone we cannot trust. you are clearly talking about your opponent in this race. no, i am saying i am trustworthy. meeting vetera ns saying i am trustworthy. meeting veterans in chelsea, no doubt he will use every moment to try to win. but how will he fix what mr hunt admits is one of the biggest problems, the government he is part of, failed to fix. this government you are part of, has been trying to fix social care for years and nothing has happened. councils need more money, but it is about personal responsibility. i think we should be a country where people should say further social care costs just the way they say for their pension. it should be something people can opt

out of, but it should be an automatic thing. would you put a cp on social care costs? i will do a deal, if you say for your social care, we will put a cap on those cuts because you have done the right thing. he said the abortion limit should be reduced to 12 weeks, which he voted for in 2008. if they cut the time limits on abortion, would you change that? howl the time limits on abortion, would you change that? how i vote on any future members bill would be a matter of conscience. he might vote to cut the time limit on abortion? people have very strong views on all sides on these issues. all i would say is that as health secretary, i upheld the will of parliament. i didn't seek to change the law. but i was very honest with people about how i voted, it is a matter of public record and i will be the same as prime minister. do you worry in

this contest you might be unfairly squeezed out by someone with a bigger personality than you? laura, i have been waiting for this moment for 30 years of my life. i have been sitting round the cabinet table thinking how i want to transform the country. you have wanted to be prime minister for 30 country. you have wanted to be prime ministerfor 30 years, when did you know? i think if i say that, ministerfor 30 years, when did you know? ithink ifi say that, it is going to put people off. you must tell us now! 30 years is a very long time, but! tell us now! 30 years is a very long time, but i would love to do this job. i think i can make a difference. three decades is already a long time to wait. will tory members keep him hanging on? laura kuenssberg, bbc news. meanwhile, borisjohnson has been taking part in a series of broadcast interviews and public appearances just a day afterjeremy hunt called him a "coward" for not taking part in a tv debate. mrjohnson has refused to elaborate on why police were called to the home he shares with his girlfriend last week.s

but he has been giving more details about his favourite pasttimes, as our chief political correspondent vicki young reports. i don't suppose you're members of the conservative party, are you? back on the campaign trail, back in front of the cameras. are you a member of the conservative party? borisjohnson‘s been accused of hiding away to avoid scrutiny. good luck. thank you very much. thank you. i think i'm going to need it. but after a difficult few days he is doing what his team thinks he does best. working a crowd. mrjohnson, why do you think the eu will do what you want them to? because i think that there's a massive opportunity now to get this thing done, put it to bed and allow the country to move forward. but you need good will from them, don't you? and i think there's going to be good will on both sides. it's been 2a hours of interview, speeches and visits, mrjohnson told the bbc yesterday that the uk would leave the eu at the end of october, with or without a deal, and he'd keep back the £39 billion divorce payment. so that's a state secret?

today he was still fending off questions about his private life. he's been accused of staging this photo with his girlfriend after neighbours reported shouting and screaming from their flat and called the police. so when was it taken? it's not a state secret, itjust happens to be something i don't want to get into. you won't even tell me when the picture was taken? no, why should i? mrjohnson‘s convinced that the public don't care about the details of his personal life, although it obviously hasn't passed them by completely. we thought you were the best from the word go. fantastic. we hope so, any how. just don't have any more rows. no more rows, no, no, no, all quiet. thank you. borisjohnson‘s happy enough out and about in true blue tory surrey, but he is still refusing to do a head—to—head televised debate tonight with his rivaljeremy hunt, and there will be many more difficult questions in the weeks ahead. you do like a certain amount of fat in the sausages. what would his priorities be as prime minister? today brought several spending pledges.

more cash for schools, police and roads. not much detail on how to pay for it, though. and some questions have produced unexpected answers. how does mrjohnson relax? i make buses. you make models of buses? i make models of buses. i get older, i don't know, wooden crates. you're making cardboard buses. that is what you do to enjoy yourself. no, i paint the passengers enjoying themselves. is he being serious? often it's hard to tell. vicki young, bbc news, surrey. in a moment, we'll speak to our europe editor katya adler but first laura kuenssberg is in westminster. jeremy hunt very much trying to make this personal now? he is, sophie. the power in this race, even though he is being buffeted a row, is with borisjohnson. jeremy he is being buffeted a row, is with boris johnson. jeremy hunt has he is being buffeted a row, is with borisjohnson. jeremy hunt has been called very dull, and boring and

doesn't have the flash and bash as borisjohnson. but doesn't have the flash and bash as boris johnson. but his doesn't have the flash and bash as borisjohnson. but his answer is he will sharpen up his attacks on the controversial former foreign secretary. even though he was careful to insist he wasn't attacking mrjohnson personally, he wasn't saying of course, you cannot trust him. but when it comes down to a race with two candidates and one of them says, i am the one who can be trusted and we mustn't have anyone we cannot trust. it doesn't ta ke anyone we cannot trust. it doesn't take a genius to work out the message he is trying to send. it is clear mr message he is trying to send. it is cleaer hunt is message he is trying to send. it is clear mr hunt is trying to push up the doubts that some tory mps, many tory members and many members of the public have a bad borisjohnson's character and his temperament and whether it really is sensible to believe what he is promising going into number ten, he helps. that said, let's have a reality check. both of the men are putting forward proposals that they cannot guarantee would buy them support in brussels. they cannot guarantee that their ideas would then get to parliament

if the eu guarantees. one senior tory said to me tonight, with some irritation perhaps, they are both living in the same fantasyland. the difference is, mr hunter suggesting he would be a nicer person to make a mess of brexit. both men making it clear they will be prepared to leave without a deal, how worried is the eu about that? well, let me just say sophie, eu leaders are not biting their nails and that is partly because of time. now it is summer and the current brexit extension runs out on the 31st of october. that is light years away in terms of politics for the eu. it also, just asjeremy politics for the eu. it also, just as jeremy hunt politics for the eu. it also, just asjeremy hunt and borisjohnson don't take the eu at its word that it will never, ever renegotiate the brexit withdrawal agreement, the eu doesn't take them at their word that they really would be likely to trigger a no—deal brexit by the 31st of october. it centres around two eu theories i am hearing. number one,

about ambition, particularly surrounding borisjohnson. about ambition, particularly surrounding boris johnson. eu diplomats say to me he seems like someone diplomats say to me he seems like someone who has wanted for so long, to be the uk's prime minister. what he or to be the uk's prime minister. what he oer hunt, to be the uk's prime minister. what he or mr hunt, really risk their premiership afterjust a couple of months in downing street by pushing through a no—deal brexit? that parliament and some mps in their own party may oppose? and the second theory is about practicalities because if the new uk prime minister does manage to engage the eu any brexit talks in the autumn, no one in brussels think they can be concluded by the 31st of october. would the new prime minister through those talks away to push through the no—deal brexit? the eu thinks it is much more likely, whateverjeremy hunt and boris johnson say now, much more likely, whateverjeremy hunt and borisjohnson say now, that the new prime minister will probably ask for a second brexit extension. from the eu point of view, pushing that threat of a no—deal brexit map much further down the line. thank you both. southern water has been ordered to pay a record £126 million in fines and refunds to customers because of serious failures

at its sewage treatment sites. the regulator said there was "a lack of investment... equipment failure". and more damningly, that they deliberately misreported data over seven years. it has now led to a criminal investigation being launched. emma simpson has more. cleaning and treating sewage. it is a vitaljob. this is a state—of—the—art plant owned by southern water. but at other sites, it failed to operate them properly, there was deliberate manipulation of samples to avoid fines, and that led to wastewater being spilled into the environment. this is absolutely the biggest penalty per proportion of turnover that we have ever levied on a company, and it would have been higher had the company not agreed that what they had done was shocking and needed to be changed to. that what they had done was shocking and needed to be changed tom that what they had done was shocking and needed to be changed to. it is still not clear how much sewage was

released or where. the new boss of southern water said... southern water has more than 4 million customers, from here on the sussex coast to kent and all the way to the isle of wight. and they should each get a £6! rebate on their bills, spread overfive years, as part of a record penalty by the regulator. although water quality has improved over the decades, the industry has had its fair share of failures. in 2016, southern water was fined £2 million for flooding the kent coast with raw sewage, leaving beaches including margate closed for days. the following year, thames water had to pay £20 million for polluting the river thames. raw sewage is allowed to be pumped into

rivers. in an emergency, like times of extreme rainfall. in 2017, permission was granted for nearly 20,000 emergency so outflow in england and wales. however, campaigners say water companies are doing this even in times of light rainfall, because of a lack of investment in capacity in the system. the water sector is facing huge problems, driven by climate change and population growth and it will require investment and action from companies over a number of yea rs. from companies over a number of years. and this kind of behaviour which southern have shown doesn't help the situation. southern water says it's a different business today. but its troubles are far from over, with a criminal investigation by the environment agency under way. emma simpson, bbc news. let's take a look at some other stories. the senior police officer in charge

during the hillsborough disaster in 1989 is to face a retrial. david duckenfield, who was the match commander, is accused of gross negligence manslaughter in relation to the deaths of 95 liverpool fans. he denies the charge. the jury was unable to reach a verdict in april. a jury has been hearing how a father died after he was stabbed 18 times following a heated argument on a train. lee pomeroy was attacked injanuary five minutes after boarding a london bound train at guildford in front of his 14—year—old son. 36—year—old darren pencille denies murder. the defendant's girlfriend, chelsea mitchell, is also on trial and denies assisting an offender. new legislation known as natasha's law is to be brought into force. it's named after the teenager from london who died from an allergic reaction after eating a sandwich from pret a manger. it means that from 2021, businesses in england, wales and northern ireland will have to list all the ingredients in pre—packaged foods. the top border official in the united states says he is stepping

down amid outrage over the treatment of detained migrant children. john sanders is in charge of the organisation which stops people crossing from mexico. lawyers who visited one of the detention centres reported squalid conditions. six children have died in custody since late last year. here is our north america editorjohn so full. it isa it is a non—descript government building in texas but here, margaret children separated from their pa rents children separated from their parents have been sleeping on the floor without enough food to eat, according to lawyers who have visited the facility. many of the children have not had access to a single shower or bath. they were wearing the same dirty clothing that they crossed the border with. around 300 of the children have been moved. the case has caused indignation. this was the scene in court as an incredulousjudge this was the scene in court as an incredulous judge questioned a government lawyer. if you don't have a toothbrush, if you don't have

soap, if you don't have a blanket, it is not safe and sanitary, wouldn't everybody agree with that? well, i think it is... i think there is varies on to find that those things may be part of... not maybe, are. when the child separation policy came to light a year ago, there was outrage. the first lady, melania trump, visited the border. the president was forced into a u—turn. but the recordkeeping was so abysmal by us officials that literally thousands of children remain separated from their parents. iam very remain separated from their parents. i am very concerned, and they are much better than they were under president obama by far, and we are trying to get the democrats to agree to really give us some humanitarian aid, humanitarian money. there is broad support over the need to do something about the surge of migrants trying to enter the country illegally. as well as reinforcing the border wall, the administration wa nts to

the border wall, the administration wants to send a deterrent message. but the world's richest country keeping children in squalor with not enough to eat? well, it looks as though congress is going to do something about it. the speaker of the house is pushing for a vote today on an emergency aid package. you will see our bill, it is for the children, the children, the children. on the southern side of the border, mexico have deployed additional troops to slow the flow of migrants. but whether fleeing the turmoil of venezuela or the drugs gangs of central america, there are plenty of people willing to try their luck, irrespective of what awaits them on the other side. the bosses of itv‘sjeremy kyle show have been criticised by a committee of mps for putting guests through lie detector tests without knowing how accurate those tests were, calling it "irresponsible" and "astonishing". mps launched an inquiry after the show was

cancelled in may following the death of one of its guests. jeremy kyle declined an invitation to appear. our media editor, amol rajan, reports. the jeremy kyle show was today described by its bosses as conflict resolution. critics say it was all conflict and no resolution. ..is a horrible person. the show is no more. steve diamond was found dead in his flatjust a few days after appearing on an episode which was never broadcast. he had failed a lie detector test, one of the pillars of the show. i was telling the truth. the test says you're a liar. executives responsible for the show admitted today they did not know how accurate the tests were. you can't define what a high level of accuracy is? not 100%, but 50% is not 100%? i'm not a lie detector expert, so what we would do is... no, but you are responsible for this programme. we have now cancelled the show as you know and i will say that we will not commission a show in the future in this way in this

format using lie detectors, for the very reason you have just highlighted, which is the ranges... it depends on who you talk to... i find your answer slightly puzzling, because on the one hand you say they have done nothing wrong, but on the other hand you are saying we are never going to do that again. itv say the jeremy kyle show observed a proper duty of care and helped hundreds of people and was loved by many thousands more. but the radical implication of their decision to end the show is that even for a commercial broadcaster, mere popularity is never enough. what i would say, if anyone raises an issue or concern or a complaint that is not resolved satisfactorily, they are referred to ofcom. that is not what bob gregory, a former guest, says. he was expecting to meet his son for the first time but says he was treated with contempt. countless times i complained to them about the whole show and the aspect... the way it was introduced, there was a banner at the bottom

of the show, which was completely wrong, everything, and their after—care was absolutely nil. it didn't exist. never once was i told to contact ofcom, never once. it remains unclear how this will affect other shows. love island is a huge hit for itv with a massive following amongst younger viewers. it had over five times as many smartphone users last week as its nearest rival. in a culture where everything is on display, all broadcasters are reassessing their duty of care. amol rajan, bbc news. france is bracing itself for a heatwave, with temperatures expected to reach a0 celsius in some places by the end of the week. the government has designated almost 1,000 "cool spaces" around paris. in 2003, around 15,000 people died during extreme temperatures in france, many of them isolated elderly citizens. from paris, here's lucy williamson.

among the visitors to paris this week, one has come straight from the sahara. a blast of summer heat that has sent temperatures into the 30s and the government scrambling for cover. hundreds of cool spaces, including parks, gardens and public buildings have been marked out across the capital. and temporary fountains and mist makers set up to help people keep cool. the weather may be coming from the sahara, but it's not quite desert temperatures in france yet. paris is a balmy 33 degrees today, but it is expected to rise and some parts of france further south are predicted to reach a0 degrees tomorrow. the question being asked here, is this the result of climate change? for a single episode like today, you can't say it's due to climate change, ok? it's like you go out in the street and you meet someone that is two

metres high and you say oh, humanity is getting taller. in general, we know that climate change is also increasing extreme events. we predict this to be more frequent and more intense. global temperatures have been on an upward trend for more than 50 years. human activity has released growing amounts of carbon dioxide gas into the air, adding to the warming. some heatwaves are not unusual in europe, but this one has hit much earlier than normal. average national temperatures forjune tend to hover in the 20s. top temperatures are often much higher, though, and some parts of france and germany this week are expected to break those peak records. in france, schools aren't yet on holiday and teenagers had their national exams pushed back this week after the government said the heat was impossible. too bad commuters on the paris metro can't plead the same.

england's world cup hopes are in the balance after australia beat them by 6a runs at lords. it's england's second consecutive defeat and means they may need to win their next two games in order to reach the semi finals. joe wilson sent this report. the world cup may be hosted here, but one nation has dominated. how many times have australia won the world cup? six. five. five? five. i think it is. how many times have england won the world cup? i will give you a clue, it's below one. it's a zero, it's a duck egg. 0h. all that history, the crowd remember sandpaper. david warner, one of the ball tamperers, was booed. crowd boos. he made 53, australia were underpinned by aaron finch‘s hundred, but 285 still seemed a modest total. steve smith heard boos, too. he was captain when australia

used sandpaper on the ball, you may recall. but fast forward to england's innings. james vince gone for none. still, attack, cried england. a catch, replied australia. and that was eoin morgan dismissed. five men out and ben stokes still going. cramp in his calf, but belief in his bat. until this... against mitchell starc, sometimes no bat is good enough. england were soon all out — 6a runs short. well, from this game, where? england insist, of course, they can win their final two group games, but they are tough ones and elimination threatens. australia, meanwhile, can start to ponder another world cup victory. it would be for the record, their sixth title. joe wilson, bbc news, at lords. joe wilson, bbc news, at lord's. that's all from me. now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are.

hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm holly hamilton. england's semi final hopes hang in the balance after a demoralising defeat to australia in the cricket world cup. was this handball? another controversial var decision sees japan go out of the women's world cup.

and warming up for wimbledon — britain's number one johanna konta into the last sixteen after beating maria sakarri at eastbourne. good evening — welcome to tonight's programme. the pressure is really on england now. it looks like they'll need to win both their last two world cup games to ensure a place in the semi finals after they slumped to their third defeat in this tournament. and a bad one at that. they were beaten by australia by 6a runs at lords and our correspondent joe wilson was there. what was the entertainment for the crowd here in lourdes today, while they have their opportunity to blewett david warner and steve smith if they want to do, and several

people dead, i'm not sure
