good evening and welcome to bbc news. the two men vying for number ten have been giving more details of what they would do if they became the next prime minister. borisjohnson said he would take the uk out of the european union, come what may, by the end of october. but jeremy 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. he said without trust, there would be no negotiation in brussels, no deal, and possibly no brexit. here is 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 us out of the eu at the end of october? well, we have to approach this differently. it's the biggest constitutional crisis that i can remember. i would have the du p in my negotiating team, i would have the erg, who are the brexit purists, i would have scottish and welsh conservatives, because fundamentally, i believe there is a deal to be done. what would be different about the deal you hope to achieve? changing the backstop, but with some guarantee that we are not going to have a hard border on the island of ireland, for completely obvious reasons. that approach is not too different to what boris wa nts. not too different to what boris wants. i think it will be a technology lead solution. you are putting forward, just as boris johnson told us yesterday, something that the european union has said no to on multiple occasions. it will be a technology lead solution. i think eve ryo ne a technology lead solution. i think everyone thinks that, within the next decade, we aren't going to have big border checks when it comes to goods, because we are going to do all these things online, just like the rest of our lives are transformed. you won't have a deal

u nless transformed. you won't have a deal unless there is a backstop, unless there is a credible idea ready immediately. and you are not saying it's ready immediately, you are talking about within a decade. no, i think it is ready. now? yes, i do, but the eu have not wanted to accept this kind of solution, because their hope was that we might stay on this thing called the customs union where we have to stick to their tariffs. what you are suggesting, foreign secretary, is that somehow the eu didn't listen to my creative ideas for the backstop because they wanted to keep us closer. well, this is a negotiation, and they obviously are going to negotiate for what is for them the best outcome. but the reality is, we ended up with a deal that's not going to get through parliament, and i think when i talk to people in the eu, they understand that. unlike boris you are willing to go beyond the 31 october deadline. but for how long would you keep trying to get a deal before you say time to get a no deal? well, i think that 31 october come hell or high water deadline is a fake deadline. i think we will know very

soon, well before 31 october, if there is a deal to be done along the basis i have said. if there isn't, and if no deal is still on the table, i've been very clear. i will leave the european union without a deal. but i am not going to do that if there is a prospect of a better deal. you would make a decision before 31 october on whether to leave without a deal. that's correct, and i'm very clear that, if we haven't got the prospect of a deal that can get through parliament by that date, then that is the option i would choose. listening to you talking about your brexit plans is actually very similar to talking to borisjohnson is actually very similar to talking to boris johnson about is actually very similar to talking to borisjohnson about his brexit plans, high on ambition, low on concrete detail. well, no, i've been very clear about the concrete detail, and the judgement very clear about the concrete detail, and thejudgement is very clear about the concrete detail, and the judgement is who very clear about the concrete detail, and thejudgement 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. if you choose someone where there is no trust, there's going to be no negotiation, no deal. you don't

trust boris johnson? negotiation, no deal. you don't trust borisjohnson? you don't think he would be trustworthy as prime minister? i would never make those comments about a fellow cabinet member. i would serve borisjohnson. well, hang on. let me finish. i was served boris johnson well, hang on. let me finish. i was served borisjohnson to the very best of my ability. foreign secretary, you have just best of my ability. foreign secretary, you havejust sat best of my ability. foreign secretary, you have just sat there ina race secretary, you have just sat there in a race of two and said this is about who we can trust, someone we can trust like me or someone we can't trust. you are clearly talking about your opponent in this race. no, iam about your opponent in this race. no, i am saying i am trustworthy. they are sort of special occasions, are they? meeting veterans in chelsea, no doubt he will use every moment to try to win. but how would he fix what mr hunt admits is one of the biggest problems the government he is part of failed to fix? this government, of which you have been

part, has been talking about trying to fix social care for years, and nothing has happened. i do think that councils need more money. it's also about personal responsibility. i think we should be a country where people save for their social care costs, just in the same way they save for their pension. i think it should be something that people can t should be something that people can opt out of, but it should be an automatic thing. and would you put a cap on social care costs?” automatic thing. and would you put a cap on social care costs? i would do a deal. if you are prepared to save responsibly during your life, then we will those costs, because you've done the right thing. he recently raised eyebrows, saying he still believed the abortion limit should believed the abortion limit should be reduced to 12 weeks, which he voted for in 2008. if an mp put forward legislation to cut the time limit on abortion, would you vote to do that? as prime minister, wouldn't seek to change the law. i didn't as health secretary either. however it in any future private members bill will be a matter of conscience, and i would have to see what that bill is before i make my decision. so you might vote to cut the time limit on abortion. well, people have very strong views on all sides on these

issues, and 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. that's a matter of public record, and it would be the same as prime minister. do you worry in this contest that you might be somehow u nfa i rly contest that you might be somehow 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 around that cabinet table thinking how i want to transform our country. so you want to bea transform our country. so you want to be a prime ministerfor 30 years? when did you know?|j to be a prime ministerfor 30 years? when did you know? i won't say that. i think if i say that, that's really going to put people off. 30 years is a very, very long time. i would love to do thisjob. i think i can make a difference. three decades is already a long time to wait. will tory members keep him hanging on? 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, but he has been giving more details about his favourite pastimes,

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 has 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 goodwill from them, don't you? and i think there's going to be goodwill on both sides. it has been 2a hours of interviews, 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 would 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 has 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 is 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. well, we hope so, anyhow. 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, but nice and lean... 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, right, and then i paint them. and they have, it's a box that has been used to contain two wine bottles. i put passengers, you really want to know this? 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. 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, but more damning, southern deliberately misreported data over a seven—year period. ofwat said the company had shown scant regard for the environment, and it has now led to a criminal investigation being launched. emma simpson has more. cleaning and treating sewage — it is a vitaljob. this is southern water's state—of—the—art plant. 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 proportion of turnover that we've ever levied on a company, and it would have been higher had the company not agreed that what they'd 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 £61 rebate on their bills, spread over five 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 forflooding 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 sewer outflows 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. well, 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 years. and this kind of behaviour that southern have shown doesn't help the situation. southern water says it is a different business today. but its troubles are far from over, with a criminal investigation by the environment agency underway. emma simpson, bbc news. 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 football fans. he denies the charge. a jury was unable to reach a verdict in april.

a jury has been hearing how a father died in front of his son after he was stabbed 18 times following an argument on a train. lee pomeroy was attacked injanuary after boarding a london—bound train at guildford. 36—year—old darren pencille denies murder. the defendant's girlfriend, chelsea mitchell, is also on trial and denies assisting an offender. the headlines on bbc news: in the race to be prime minister, jeremy hunt warns that without trust, there would be no negotiations, no deal, and maybe no brexit. southern water is ordered to pay a record £126 million in fines and customer rebates over what regulators call shocking failings. a heatwave hits france, where temperatures are expected to rise to more than a0 degrees celsius.

a new law to protect people who have food allergies has been announced by the government. it's called natasha's law — and it's named after natasha ednan—laperouse, 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 to try to ensure that people who have food allergies are fully protected when they buy it. natasha's parents say it's a fitting legacy for their daughter's life. daniela relph reports. they are the last images of natasha. on a plane, en route to france, for her summer holiday, but before the flight landed she collapsed with a catastrophic allergic reaction. she died soon after. in theirgrief, mum, dad and her younger brother alex turned campaigners, urging the government to change the law around food labelling,

and they were heard. there will now be a natasha's law. it was never a given and we never took for granted that this would definitely happen. when it's law and politics you don't know how things are going to pan out but we feel the two words natasha's law does actually mean that we are potentially saving lives. it is a law which has natasha's name but is now about safeguarding the millions of allergy sufferers. our lives are now basically intertwined with all the people who have had allergies in this country, food allergies, and for the rest of our lives we will fight all the right causes, all the big, ambitious causes, to make their lives a better and safer place. the teenager had eating a sandwich she bought from pret—a—manger. the packaging did not say it included sesame seeds, the ingredient which caused her collapse. natasha's law will be introduced this summer and will be mandatory by 2021. the bigger food companies

have welcomed the change but there is concern that some smaller businesses will struggle to produce a detailed list of ingredients. natasha's parents have had some high—profile support. by coincidence, sarah duchess of york was on board the flight were natasha's body was repatriated. she has supported the family's fight for a change in the law. we know that natasha is up there saying, yeah, well done, go for it, you know. you got my voice heard. and of course, she would be thrilled with the day because she was very strong and had a great voice on her and natasha's law has been announced today and it is a breakthrough. in addition to natasha's law, there will also now be a charity named after her with the ambitious aim of finding a cure for the most severe allergies. daniela relph, bbc news, west london. india's supreme court has demanded the government explain what it's doing to fight an outbreak of encephalitis that has killed more

than 150 children. most of the deaths have been recorded in the northern state of bihar, but the local government says the crisis is now under control. it's not yet known what has caused the infection, but researchers have identified a link between the disease and a toxic substance found in lychees, a fruit grown in large amounts in parts of the state. the top border official in the united states says he's stepping down amid outrage over the treatment of detained migrant children. john sanders is in charge of us customs and border protection, which stops migrant parents and children 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's our north america editor, jon sopel. it's a non—descript government building in texas but here,

margaret 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. although some have been returned. the case has caused indignation. 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's not safe and sanitary, wouldn't everybody agree with that? well, i think it is... i think there is fair reason to find that those things may be part of sanitary... 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. 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 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. donald trump's son—in—law and senior adviser, jared kushner, has set out an economic plan for the middle east, which he has described as the opportunity of the century. mr kushner was speaking at a summit in bahrain but palestinians leaders have boycotted the event and the israeli government has not been invited. the proposals include $50 billion being invested in the region over ten years, but critics argue that a political solution is needed first. jared kushner says an economic agreement is a precondition for peace. for a moment imagine a new reality in the middle east. imagine a bustling, commercial centre where

international businesses come together and thrive. imagine the west ba n k together and thrive. imagine the west bank is a blossoming economy full of entrepreneurs, engineers, scientists and business leaders. imagine people and goods flowing quickly and securely throughout the region as economics become more integrated and people become more prosperous. jared kushner. president trump has appointed stephanie grisham as the new white house press secretary and communications director. stephanie grisham has already served as the spokeswoman for the first lady. on twitter, melania trump said she could "think of no better person to serve the administration and the country". stephanie grisham will replace sarah sanders, who leaves at the end of the month. 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 today as conflict resolution. critics say it was all conflict and no resolution. he isa he is a lying, cheating, 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. diamond 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 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 served 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, is if anyone raises an issue or concern or a complaint that is not resolved satisfactorily, they are referred to ofcom. that's 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 i 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 did not 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 views 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 more than a0 degrees 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. not quite here —— quite as warm here at home. now it's time for the weather with stav da naos. it will be turning sunny and hot for the weekend. potentially the hottest day of the year so far, expected across southern day of the year so far, expected across southern areas on day of the year so far, expected across southern areas on saturday. in the short term we have high pressure coming in from the north—west, that is bringing us fine and unsettled weather. also cooler and unsettled weather. also cooler and drierair and unsettled weather. also cooler and drier air pushing into northern ireland and parts of northern england through wednesday. so the best of the sunshine here. a lot of cloud for england and wales, and low cloud for england and wales, and low cloud at that too. here it will be quite cool, mid—teens at best. 22 — 23 there. as we head through

wednesday night it looks like they cloud begins to thin and break with clear spells developing. that cooler and humid air mass will bring a cooler start to thursday across the north, still double—figure values across the south of the country. as we head into thursday the high pressure is still with us, we have a squeeze in the isobars across the south of the country, will pick along an easterly wind along the channel and gust live up to a0 mild an hour. these enclosed will feel quite cool. the best of the sunshine, we think will be across the south—west where we will have 2a degrees. you've probably heard of the blistering heatwave developing this week across parts of europe. i think the pig will be on thursday— friday where we will see record—breaking temperatures due for

parts of france. we will tap into that heat into the
