pink news reports that prince william has said he would be fine if any of the children are gay, though he did acknowledge that he worried about pressures that they would face. he made the comments during a visit to homeless lgbt charity. and the guardian has this report on the rise of extreme flatshare ads with bizarre stipulations for renters. they include restrictions on who can move in based on star signs and time limits on showers — the article blames the increase in renters. so let's begin with the conservative leadership race. with me is oliver cornock who is the editor—in—chief of the oxford business group. iam sure i am sure you predicted we would be talking about this morning when you thought about what might be in the newspapers and, sure enough, the independent looks at the opposition

to borisjohnson. independent looks at the opposition to boris johnson. it does. and the tory party, the ruling party here in the uk is in the middle of this leadership parcel. boris johnson the uk is in the middle of this leadership parcel. borisjohnson is quite florid and jeremy hunt is less florid. this is come back, mr johnson ‘s campaign will be happy it is back to politics and not his personal life. this is basically back to brexit, as you said. it is difficult to avoid at the moment. it is the dominant factor in this leadership race. unfortunately it is dominating and squeezing out any other policy discussion and i think thatis other policy discussion and i think that is a bad thing. however, there are only two constituencies that matter for mrjohnson are only two constituencies that matterfor mrjohnson are are only two constituencies that matter for mrjohnson are his parliamentary party backing and his local association within the uk. those local associations are very committed to brexit. and so his hard—line committed to brexit. and so his ha rd—line stance committed to brexit. and so his hard—line stance on brexit, speaks to that. but that is at odds with the parliamentary backing. and he had a tussle on his hands to that is
5:47 am
what this story is about. ‘s commitment of getting out on october 31 has been implacable. he softened it overnight and that place to this that, actually, parliament and his own party would lock no deal. but how do you negotiate with no deal? the article looks at the divide. it has rory stewart who is saying that i definitely will vote against a conservative covenant to stop no deal and then you have the former brexit secretary saying, you know, we could just bust out. could just force our way out at the end of october no matter what an parliament would not necessarily prevent that from happening. it just would not necessarily prevent that from happening. itjust displays the extreme opinion within the conservative party which has been the big issue from the get go. absolutely. and the mathematics in the conservative party seem to mitigate against that. so it is hard to see a way forward here. do you
5:48 am
think he will be our next prime minister? doris thomson? what do you think the outcome of the race will be? the optics at the moment suggest yes but the last few conservative races have not seen the front runner wind. so you are on the fence. -- front runner when. looking at the washington post. this is interesting. an in—depth feature that looks out the management of information as we begin the race for the presidential race that takes place in 2020. we have the first of two televised debates late yesterday in miami and it looks at what social media companies are doing to get ready for this. the fallout from the 2016 election where there were so many accusations that social media had been hijacked by dots and by russian influence is still being played out in america. it is still a dominant story and the middle— left—leaning press. social media
5:49 am
companies putting out there stand, if you like, what they call inlet —— election integrity is that rated you to how they'd try to counter the deep fakes, as they are called, these technological bots that generate fake news. the irony of course is that donald trump is a huge user of social media and he plays both the victim and the victoria here using social media. step back and this is against the backdrop of the us government's tussling at the moment over huge dominance, these dominant social media companies such as google, twitter and facebook. if the 2020 presidential election is mired again by the concern that people were manipulated before they went to the polls, these big companies would struggle in many ways to fend off the argument that they need to be regulated and they need to be
5:50 am
policed by an independent body. because between the 2016 presidential race and this one coming up next year, there have been many other elections around the world and it is cropping up everywhere. misinformation, how social media is used to try and sway people ‘s votes with information thatis people ‘s votes with information that is actually incorrect. and that is what these countries are trying to do. they were on the back foot in 2016 and they cannot repeat that in 2020 three. —— 2016 and they cannot repeat that in 2020 three. -- 2020. on the times, and end to cervical cancer due to a vaccine, the h pv vaccine and the programme that began here in the uk where women aged 15-19 had 15—19 had been vaccinated in school since 2008. how amazing, this response. an amazing figure and with people going for regular pap smear test and monitoring of these
5:51 am
personal elements of 1's body are a key factor in tackling early—onset cancer. and this isjust key factor in tackling early—onset cancer. and this is just such a wonderfully —— wonderful public health story. a drop of 83% in this virus. and now they are talking about boys being vaccinated as well because there is a sexual transmission element as well. an important debate and i hope that this model of public health is rolled out into other areas. this model of public health is rolled out into other areaslj rolled out into other areas.|j remember when the vaccination programme was happening in 2008 and it was quite controversial because many were saying that i don't want my daughter to have this vaccination in school. we want a choice. there is an issue of vaccination, whatever it may be, and how people doubt. and this is a good example of positive results. elimination in a short amount of time. now, inc news is

looking at prince william add an lg bt looking at prince william add an lgbt homeless looking at prince william add an lg bt homeless charity looking at prince william add an lgbt homeless charity where he was asked some frank questions and gave an honest answer about how he would feel if his children were to say that they were homosexual.” feel if his children were to say that they were homosexual. i thought this was interesting. his response would be —— was that he would be concerned and i think that is the response of every parent. that is against the backdrop of being in this amazing charity who often looks after young people who have been kicked out of their home. i thought it was interesting and a powerful interview. it played very well in the current backdrop, in pride month in london, but it also spoke about the commonwealth and his role as the future king. the commonwealth is dominated by countries that have restrictive if not damning laws
5:53 am
against gay people so it was a sensitive one and he spoke about the pressure on his own child if they we re pressure on his own child if they were to be gay and what that would mean isa were to be gay and what that would mean is a royal. that was interesting as well. in some ways they've come along way but there is still a long way to go i think that was the message. finally, the guardian with an interesting story about flatshare ads and how extreme they are becoming because this is generation rent, young people who just cannot afford to get on the property ladder in the uk and the ads that are being put out to find people to share is hilarious. ads that are being put out to find people to share is hilariousm ads that are being put out to find people to share is hilarious. it is a captive market for landlords and because of that landlords can stipulation —— stipulate really random things. such as x lucidly wanting scorpios. they even stipulate how many visitors you are allowed a month in some cases it and that you have to give two weeks

notice. it feels that while on so many notice. it feels that while on so ma ny levels notice. it feels that while on so many levels we have come a long way in being liberal but this is quite prescriptive and i don't like this at all. no capricorns. what is wrong with them? that was on one of these flats ha re with them? that was on one of these flatshare ads detect that is not allowed. thank you, oliver, for joining us this morning and thank you as well for watching the programme. whatever you are up to today i hope you do have a good day. we have had a good conversation as well on social media today about fast fashion. many of you have been in touch with your thoughts on that and we have heard from a regular who watches from india says that durability and identity is important in the fashion industry. is want to sustain that and that is the challenge for all. i will go for with durability as i am middle—aged. see you soon and have a great day.

hello. our much—advertised summer heat this week is yet to kick in, and when it does, it'll be very brief. but on the continent, as you may have heard, the european heatwave is in full swing, and on wednesday, new june temperature records were set in germany, poland, czech republic to above 38 celsius. the best we could manage in the uk was 25 in wales. and to start thursday morning, where you're clear in scotland and northern england, mid single figures could be yours. a lot of low cloud from east wales across central, eastern and southern england once again, but that's going to clear more readily than on wednesday. it may hang on towards lincolnshire, norfolk. it mayjust push back in more generally back towards the north sea coast later in the day. northern scotland staying rather cloudy, elsewhere abundant sunshine. it's going to be sunny at glastonbury, though it will be windy here. in fact, even stronger winds towards cornwall and devon. these are average speeds, but there'll be stronger gusts through thursday into early friday, maybe approaching 50mph to the west of higher ground. this offshore cloud will keep northern coastal counties with on—shore cloud close
5:56 am
to the mid—teens, whereas elsewhere, it is going to be a warmer day in the sunshine, into the mid—20s for the warm spots in the west. now, as we go through thursday night into friday, a lot of low cloud lurking in the north sea, and that'll start to just filter further inland once again. could make for a rather dull, grey start to friday morning, particularly across the eastern side of the uk. but once again, we're going to see that push on back away from the coastline as we go through the day. high pressure is now moving towards the north sea on friday, and by then, we're finally tapping into some of this continental heat and humidity across the western side of the uk, with abundant sunshine. so here, it's going to feel hotter on friday. so here's how it's looking on friday. remember that cloudy start through central and eastern areas, but there goes the low cloud, slowly retreating to the north sea coast. but again, where it lingers here, with an on—shore breeze, it's going to feel cooler than elsewhere. but in the west, in the sunshine, more places will be into the upper 20s. even into the hotspots
5:57 am
of north—west scotland, we could be near 30 degrees. but then on saturday, for northern ireland and scotland, it's atlantic air taking over once again, with showers and thunderstorms. the heat on saturday is transferring further east across much more of england. temperatures will be near 30 celsius, 32—33 is possible in south—east england. but then for part two of the weekend on sunday, it's all change. the cold front is moving through, followed by cooler, atlantic air with a few showers, and temperatures fall back more towards average for the time of year.
