10:04 pm
this wrong, then we are risking no conservative government, no brexit, i'io conservative government, no brexit, no conservative party. but if we get it right, we can deliver brexit, unleash the potential of our extraordinary country and send corbyn packing. we had a lot of discussion on these brexit debates about how. but not enough discussion about how. but not enough discussion about who. who is a prime minister we trust to go to brussels and to sort this out? and if you choose me, i will be the first prime minister who has a background as an entrepreneur, fiow who has a background as an entrepreneur, now who here has set up entrepreneur, now who here has set up theirown entrepreneur, now who here has set up their own business, put up your hand if you have. that is the conservative party right there, the party of the business and what do we
10:05 pm
deal, entrepreneurs, we negotiate. that is what you do every single day with your customers and suppliers. and your employees. what's the first rule of negotiation? you have to be prepared to walk away. and what is the second rule? you have to figure out what the other people are going to do. and this is where we have a challenge, because there are some people and parliament, and i totally deploy this, but their pit people in parliament who had voted and will vote to take no deal off the table. and we have got to recognise, we cannot wish that reality away, the quickest way to get out at the eu is to negotiate a deal that can get through parliament and that's what this entrepreneur, this negotiator is going to do for our party and for
10:06 pm
out is going to do for our party and for our country because we is going to do for our party and for oui’ country because we are is going to do for our party and for our country because we are one is going to do for our party and for our country because we are one of the oldest democracies in the wild, and in this country, we get and do what the people to tell us and we will deliver brexit. jeremy hunt. peter hanley sent this from the hustings environment. difference in style of course, borisjohnson getting applause from the cloud that may be bumbling through some of the detail though, thatjeremy hunt making promises, some of them accosted that accused of making up stuff on the who by the boys camp afterward. one thing jeremy hunt reps food —— refer to that boris did not mention, being an entrepreneur. he encouraged people who had been stu d e nts to he encouraged people who had been students to take on new employee is, he said if they were prepared to set up he said if they were prepared to set upa company he said if they were prepared to set up a company and imply ten people for five years, thenjeremy hunt government would write off the student debt. joys —— borisjohnson had a response to that, he said that policy would encourage too many
10:07 pm
people to be entrepreneurs and they say they would all want to do it and he rolled it out. so there were points of disagreement, but both of them saying that they would deliver brexit and bailey did not buy leaving no deal on the table. boris johnson said that he would consider dissolving probing parliament, it's something he didn't want to do but he said he would be folly to take out the table and jeremy hunt was less enthusiastic about that but also clear that it was in the negotiations with the eu, that britain have to show a strong hand. turning may be to their future plans as the prime minister at brexit is a cheap, they were both talking about technology and equipping the company for the future, and making sure that business was prepared to lead us in a post brexit h. bbc stop park political editor peter. more than hundreds of peers have criticised the decision to reinstate an mp who
10:08 pm
have been suspended other comments about the party's handling anti—semitism, chris who represents derby north was spent in february after saying neighbour gave too much ground it to those who claim that there was anti—semitism in the party. today the, jeremy corbyn distance himself from that position and said there was no place for anti—semitism and labour party.” was not involved in that decision until it was independent panel set up until it was independent panel set up through national executive, they examine the case and decided to admit him back into albeit with reprimand. why did the panel ignore the recommendation? they went to the case and interviewed him and went to the cancer detail, and on the panel they made that decision. with that in mind, do you think that the allegations procedure is fit for purpose? bdl with anti-semitism very seriously, there is no place for it in our society and obviously not in oui’
10:09 pm
in our society and obviously not in our party as well and anyone who makes anti—semitic remarks can expect to be at the very least reprimanded and if they are very serious, and engage in anti—semitism, they are expelled from the party.
10:10 pm
the race for number ten, the two men vying to be the next prime minister addressed the party faithful in bournemouth. brexit dominates the latest round of hustings as boris johnson says any further delay will erode the nation's trust in democracy. jeremy hunt says he's the man to get a brexit deal. anybody who proposes any further delay is simply going to end up eroding trust in politics. no prime minister is going to last anytime at all if they don't deliver brexit and deliver it very quickly. vauxhall will only build the next generation astra in cheshire if the brexit deal is satisfactory. also tonight, the row over anti—semitism.
10:11 pm
more than 100 labour mps and peers demand thatjeremy more than 100 labour mps and peers demand that jeremy corbyn more than 100 labour mps and peers demand thatjeremy corbyn overturned the decision to allow chris williamson back into the party. after a man from el salvador and his daughter drowned trying to reach america, a special report on why so many take such risks for a new life. commentator: here's lucy bronze! what a goal, what a goal! the sensational goal that sealed england boss might place in the semifinals of the world cup. and coming up on sportsday on bbc news, we'll have all the reaction from the football and how india ended the west indies' hopes of reaching the world cup semifinals. good evening. the tory leadership contenders have been giving more details about their plans for brexit. both again refused to rule out
10:12 pm
leaving with no deal. borisjohnson insisted the uk must go by october the 31st or the nation's trust in democracy and the party would be eroded. jeremy hunt said he was the man who could negotiate a brexit deal that parliament would support. today the japanese government and the boss of the car giant vauxhall said many people's jobs would be threatened if there was no—deal brexit. more on that in a moment, but first here is our political correspondent, alex forsyth. some might have made up their minds. others are waiting to be won over. borisjohnson others are waiting to be won over. boris johnson turned up others are waiting to be won over. borisjohnson turned up for tonight's debate as the firm front runner, but an upbeatjeremy hunt is farfrom runner, but an upbeatjeremy hunt is far from out of this fight. mr johnson was first on stage, repeating his pledge to stick to the new brexit deadline of halloween, dismissing fears of leaving without a deal. there will be people who say that the planes won't fly and they won't be clean drinking water and there won't be enough milk, solids
10:13 pm
and glucose to make way, to make mars bars, well, i say nonsense. he didn't rule out bypassing possibly suspending parliament to deliver brexit, but said he didn't want to come he wants a deal and thinks he can get mps on board. unless we act with maturity and dignity and work together to get brexit over the line, there will be very severe judgment history upon us, a little bit more resolve is called for and a little bit more sense... applause there was a pledge to spend around £5 billion on education, come up with a cross—party solution for social care, and introduce a new points—based immigration system. people should come when there is a job that they have on offer and they should come in a way finally that is democratically controlled. he floated the idea of charging eu stu d e nts to floated the idea of charging eu students to study in the uk and asked about his rival‘s plan to
10:14 pm
scrap tuition fee debt for entrepreneurs... a lot of people would automatically be defining themselves as entrepreneurs. applause .jeremy hunt, applause . jeremy hunt, undimmed applause .jeremy hunt, undimmed by thejoke, started his pitch by saying he's the one to be trusted to deliver brexit, and while he hasn't ruled out leaving without a deal, warned against ignoring parliament's opposition to that plan. the quickest way to get out of the european union is to negotiate a deal that can get through parliament. he wants to use technology to help solve the irish border issue and get a deal agreed, so border issue and get a deal agreed, so what if you can't deliver? would you fall on your sword and resign? of course, i mean no prime minister is going to last any time at all if they don't deliver brexit and deliver it very quickly. some in the audience didn't seem convinced by his brexit credentials. people who are ruling out odile... in my cabinet we will be voting to keep no
10:15 pm
deal on the table. more broadly mr hunt said if he was in number ten, he'd cut corporation tax, abolish illiteracy and payback tuition fees for students who set up businesses. if you go out and you set up a successful business and you employ people, then we'll cancel your tuition fees because they've done a great thing for the country, they've created wealth. applause so pledge is aplenty tonight from both candidates, but at the end of the day... do you think you've done enough, mrjohnson? that's what they'll be wondering. by far the biggest cheers in the room tonight where when the candidates promised to deliver on brexit, perhaps that's a sign of the mood in the conservative party but to be frank we didn't heara conservative party but to be frank we didn't hear a lot there was brand—new from either of the candidates. that's because this is one of several of these events that will take place over the next few weeks ago. maybe some hoping that as well as the ambition from both of these candidates about what they wa nt to these candidates about what they want to do if they get to downing street, there may be a little more
10:16 pm
detail about exactly how. alex, thank you. the car giant vauxhall warned the next generation of the vauxhall astra will be built in the uk as long as a satisfactory brexit deal is agreed. colletta smith is at ellesmere port in cheshire, where that car could be built. a lot of people's jobs are riding on this? yeah, this is really good news for the workforce here after a couple of years of uncertainty, to be told today this is the site that will build the new vauxhall astra. but the company are reserving the right to pull that prize away if there is a no deal brexit. effectively cutting a lifeline for more than 1000 staff, who work at the plant here, where the vauxhall astra and the opel astra are now the only products that are made on a site that has a 50 year history. around 80% of the cars that roll off the production line here are exported to europe and that means that whoever gets the job behind the
10:17 pm
door of number ten, whatever they managed to deliver or not deliver at the end of october, will have a real—world impact here, and that's what the company are saying. if there is a no deal, then it's no dealfor the workers here there is a no deal, then it's no deal for the workers here at ellesmere port and at one stage in time that kind of an unequivocal warning would have weighed heavily on the minds of decision—makers within government, but we are currently living in changed times, where that voice, however strong it may sound, is just one voice among a lot of competing noise was white colletta, thank you. 121 labour mps and peers, including the party's deputy leader tom watson, have demanded thatjeremy corbyn overturn the decision to allow chris williamson back into the party. the mp for derby north had been suspended in february for saying the party had been too apologetic when dealing with allegations of anti—semitism. the mps and peers have signed a letter saying they couldn't overstate the hurt and anger caused
10:18 pm
by the decision. our political correspondent jessica parker reports. a staunch ally ofjeremy corbyn‘s, chris williamson is an energetic and outspoken campaigner. the party that has done more to stand up to racism is now being demonised as a racist, bigoted party. but comments that emerged in february about allegations of anti—semitism in the party led to his suspension. in my opinion we have backed off too much, we have given too much ground, we have been too apologetic. he later said he deeply regretted the remarks and today said that he is pleased to have been let back in. i've been overwhelmed by an avalanche of messages of goodwill from grassroots members of the labour party and that is what constitutes a labour party, actually. it is grassroots membership, of which there are approaching 600,000. i wouldn't say the consensus,
10:19 pm
but the overwhelming majority of opinion is supportive of the decision to reinstate me into the labour party. but over 100 labour mps and peers have in a statement demanded the decision be overturned. the decision be overturned, claiming, "it is clear to us that the labour party disciplinary process remains mired by the appearance of political interference. this must stop. we need a truly independent process." i wouldn't normally do this but this is so important, the upset and the anger is so great but i think we need to act very swiftly to reassure people we take anti—semitism seriously in the labour party. meeting veterans in hartlepool today before the statement emerged, much of this row centres onjeremy corbyn and the leadership's handling of anti—semitism allegations. labour says it cannot comment on individual cases but takes all complaints extremely seriously. i wasn't involved in the decision at all, it was an independent panel set up through the national executive, they examined the case and they decided
10:20 pm
to admit him back in, albeit with a reprimand. tonight a member of the panel that ruled on chris williamson's readmission, the mp keith vaz, has said the decision should be reconsidered. this all comes after the equality and human rights commission launched a formal investigation into whether the labour party has discriminated againstjewish people. labour party has discriminated against jewish people. that's labour party has discriminated againstjewish people. that's the backdrop why signatories of today's statement say the case of chris williamson is so important. jessica parker, bbc news. the plight of central american migrants has been shown into sharp focus this week. thousands are leaving el salvador in search of a better life in america. the image of one man from el salvador, oscar ramirez and his daughter facedown one man from el salvador, oscar ramirez and his daughterfacedown in a river after they drowned trying to ci’oss a river after they drowned trying to cross into the united states, has shocked the world. el salvador in
10:21 pm
central america's smallest country but has one of the world's highest crime rates. around 60,000 gang members control much of the economy and more than 3000 people were murdered in the past year alone. our international correspondent all the gearand international correspondent all the gear and reports from the capital san salvador. a report does contain details you may find distressing. in el salvador, daily life. and death. another killing in gangland. it barely merits a glance. and doesn't stop theice merits a glance. and doesn't stop the ice cream vendor. the gangs are like a virus, unseen but infecting every aspect of life. locals are telling us that by dumping the body here in broad daylight it's a clear message of defiance to the government, and over here you can see just who's territory you are in. the gang has branded the street
10:22 pm
corner. no one the gang has branded the street corner. no one dares the gang has branded the street corner. no one dares speak out against the gangsters of barrio 18, not even the woman on the phone who fears the victim is her missing son. small wonder plenty of salvadorans tried to escape all this and head for the us, some to get away from the gangs, others to look for decent jobs and a better life. but many wind—up back home, facing constant danger. families wait for loved ones who have been deported. they arrived at this reception centre in san salvador. this father and daughter back where they started. wilbur hoped to spend a few years in america saving for his future. instead, he and four—year—old breanna were detained and separated for months. she was screaming and
10:23 pm
crying, saying, please don't leave me, he says. it was very hard when i got her back will stop she didn't recognise me. when darkness falls here the streets are deserted. the gangs own the night. they sell drugs, run extortion rackets and try to control everything that moves. we met two former gang members who became police informers. we cannot use their names or broadcast their voices. chillingly they say their job was to kill and keep killing. one admits to slaughtering 56 people. the first one was with a knife. he was a member of a rival gang. then there were others with a gun. the last one was chopped up. you mutilate the body, the hands, the legs, the arms, you take their
10:24 pm
insides out. it sounds like you were butchering people like you might butchering people like you might butcher a sheep. at that moment i just thought of them as my enemy. i had to kill seven people to be an issue initiated into the gang. if you want to earn rank you have to carry on killing. this man started killing at 15 and became a leader in his local area. he says if his old gang ever caught him he'd get special treatment. they would deal with me in the worst way. they would bury me alive, then dig me up and kill me very slowly. and what would you say to the families of those who killed? do you ever think about them? whatever i say it won't bring back their dead. i have already left mothers without sons, people without brothers, cousins and friends. when i tell them would mean little or nothing but i repent every day.
10:25 pm
security forces lined up at the start of another crack down on the gangs. el salvador‘s new president who took office this month trying the iron fist approach. in this bloodstained country one more attempt to reclaim the night. orla guerin, bbc news, san salvador. chris buckler is on the us mexican border and orla's report shows why so many are so desperate to cross that border where you are but it is causing all sorts of political problems? across this border in mexico you will find many migrant families are effectively stranded at the edge of america and in some cases, waiting months to be seen by the us authorities. in itself that isa sign the us authorities. in itself that is a sign of the numbers that are still continuing to come. both democrats and republicans accept billions of dollars is needed to address some of the problems at the border. but they have been fighting
10:26 pm
over how that money should be used. republicans want more flexibility and they want it spent on the likes of border security and enforcement. democrats feel the real focus should be in improving the conditions for migrants. particularly in those detention centres for children where there have been claims that conditions are unsafe and unsanitary. tonight the democratic leader, nancy pelosi has given in and say she will support the republican bill which president trump will undoubtedly claim as a victory. the democrats say it is important the money is freed up and spent, that children should come first. that may well be a sign that stark image of oscar ramirez and his daughter lying dead in the rio grande, has had an effect far beyond this border. chris buckler, thank you. the food delivery company uber eats has tightened the way restaurant sign up to its service after bbc news successfully registered a fake takeaway on the site
10:27 pm
and began processing orders. the company says it's deeply concerned by the incident and is now carrying out an audit of all food outlets currently on the platform. the revelations follow a report last night, on the number of restaurants with low hygiene ratings on delivery apps. angus crawford reports. fancy a burger from london's newest takeaway? time to make it official by signing up to the delivery platform uber eats. within days, instructions and equipment delivered by courier. i've told them i don't yet have a hygiene rating but promised to get one. so the best burger corporation, or bbc, is open for business. no checks, no proof of id and, crucially, no hygiene inspection. but still, i'm up and frying in my front garden. and there's an order on the way... the best burger. ..from food safety expert mark mcglynn,
10:28 pm
who's just down the road. order's been taken. that's really shocking, that's quite shocking. ok, so that's one plain burger, a little bit of garnish... within minutes my very first order is picked up. and moments later, delivered. uber eats. great, thank you very much. what do you think about what happened today? i could not be more shocked. i am astonished by what i saw but also very, very alarmed. it's not warm, it's rather cold. we're in desperate times, it seems to me, if very, very large food delivery platforms can be operating in this way. what do you think of that? i am almost speechless with horror about that and aside from wanting to comment on your own hygiene practices, that driver appeared, looked at where you had produced that food, took it and went.
10:29 pm
that's just horrifying. uber eats told us... so how can you know if a takeaway is clean or not? in wales, hygiene ratings have to be displayed in the shop window but that law doesn't apply online. the welsh government says it should across the uk. ijust bought this from a takeaway with a hygiene rating ofjust one. so when you're going in to order food on any one of those apps, i want to make sure that as a consumer you have that choice and that information in front of you. so if the big food delivery companies won't change, you'll make them change?
10:30 pm
yes. deliveroo and uber eats don't show individual hygiene ratings but say they hope to in the future. following our investigation last year, just eat did start a trial showing ratings for a small number of outlets and says that will go nationwide next month. companies making billions from meals they don't cook, in takeaways they don't own. is it time they were made responsible for the kitchens where that food — and their profits — are made? angus crawford, bbc news. scientists say that cervical cancer could come close to being eradicated following the success of a vaccine against the main cause of the disease — the human papilloma virus. a review examined the impact of the vaccine on 60 million people in 1a different countries. a summit of world leaders, the g20, is due to get under way injapan in the next few hours. the meeting is expected to be dominated by discussion
10:31 pm
on trade and climate change, but all eyes are expected to be on the meetings happening away from the main stage. our diplomatic correspondent james robbins is in osaka now. what can we expect, james?|j what can we expect, james? i think this will be a summit of high anxiety and low expectations, frankly. there are so many fracture lines in the world right now over trade, climate change and how to contain the risks in the gulf, threats to all of us. many people think the post second world while international order, which is meant to underpin peace and prosperity is under precedented strain from competing nationalisms and populism is. what to watch out for? the president trump xi meeting over trade. will there be truce? of course, there is a meeting between
10:32 pm
trump and vladimir putin. two leaders who share a view that liberalism has had its day. tomorrow, we will focus on the first formal talks between president putin and theresa may sensed that another choc salisbury poisonings. theresa may has said it cannot be a forgive and forget moment and reinforce to president putin he cannot cross that red line again. but it has to be said in an interview with the financial times to be published in the morning, mr putin is dismissive, all this fuss about spies and cou nters py all this fuss about spies and counterspy is, it's not worth serious interstate relations, it's not worth five kopites, let alone £5. it is hardly an opening gambit are designed to improve relations. james robbins, thank you. the german chancellor, angela merkel, has been seen shaking again during a ceremony in berlin this morning, eight days after a similar incident. mrs merkel appeared uncomfortable and began gripping her arms as her body trembled. last week, she appeared in a similar state of discomfort when she met
10:33 pm
the ukrainian president, but blamed the incident on dehydration. a spokesperson says the chancellor is absolutely fine and has set off for the g20 summit injapan as planned. a major effort is under way to contain wildfires in the catalonia region of spain. officials say they are the worst in 20 years and may spread rapidly. spain is one of a number of countries across europe experiencing extreme heat, with temperatures expected to rise further over the next few days. forecasters have blamed hot air drawn in from north africa. football now and england have made it through to the semifinals of the women's world cup this evening with a comfortable 3—0 win over norway. in doing so they scored the fastest goal ever in the finals and another, which will be contender for goal of the tournament. katie gornall watch the action. just across the channel, a home away from home. this one brought the nerves of a knockout.
10:34 pm
some of those nerves were settled after two minutes. england have the perfect start. ellen white usually finishes these in her sleep but fortu nately finishes these in her sleep but fortunatelyjill finishes these in her sleep but fortu nately j ill scott finishes these in her sleep but fortu natelyjill scott had her finishes these in her sleep but fortunatelyjill scott had her back. england hit top gear and this was a brilliant display of efficiency, started by nikkita parris and finished by ellen white. her fifth goal at the tournament. for those watching at the glastonbury festival, the scoreline was music to their ears. this was supposed to be england's biggest test of this tournament and they were passing it with flying colours. lucy bronze showing why her manager called her the well‘s bass. england were not perfect but when no way did threaten, steph houghton was there. steph houghton was having an impact at both ends, winning a penalty but there was no final flourish. it didn't matter... england are through to the semifinal. this was still a statement performance from england
10:35 pm
and yet again they are through to the semifinals and looking more together than ever. england have a nswered together than ever. england have answered every question posed to them at this tournament and outclassed a very good side in norway. they were ruthless in attack and held firm in defence and now they are through to the semifinals ina they are through to the semifinals in a blockbuster tie, either against the holders, the usa or the hosts, france. on this evidence, england will fear neither, sophie. katie, thank you. 50 years ago tomorrow, the stonewall riots erupted in greenwich village in new york. hundreds of gay men and women took to the streets to demand an end took to the streets to demand an end to discrimination. the events which began with a police raid on a gay bar, the stonewall inn, helped establish the gay rights movement and the campaign for lb gt rights worldwide. ben hunt reports from new york. it was here in new york's greenwich village when the riots erupted and many say the modern lgbt movement was born. the police raid
