for the last three years, appointed by theresa may in july 2016. this was him packing up for the weekend. on wednesday, he'll pack up for good. assuming that borisjohnson becomes the next prime minister, i understand that his conditions for serving in his government would include accepting a no—deal exit on 31st october. that is not something i could ever sign up to. it's very important that a prime minister is able to have a chancellor who is closely aligned with him, in terms of policy, and i therefore intend to resign to theresa may, before she goes to the palace to tender her own resignation on wednesday. the result of the leadership race will be announced on tuesday, but it's notjust the chancellor preparing for prime minister johnson. others are ready to resign too, and so the new leader will face old problems — a divided party, and this... the border between northern ireland and the republic, and the existing insurance policy, the backstop,

to keep it as it is under all circumstances. mrjohnson and plenty of mps hate it. the eu and ireland say it's essential. if the approach of the new british prime minister is that they're going to tear up the withdrawal agreement, then i think we're in trouble. i think we're all in trouble, quite frankly, because that's a little bit like saying, "either give me what i want or i'm going to burn the house down for everybody". borisjohnson is willing to contemplate a no—deal brexit, a prospect that frightens ireland but excites some of his supporters, not least because they hope preparing properly for it means there is a better chance of a better deal. the deal as it stands right now is dead, and there's no point in trying to fiddle or twiddle it. the reality is there are huge elements in it which simply are inoperable in the uk. the eu is a master at hard—nosed negotiation, and i think we got taken for a ride, because we weren't.

downing street will be rather busier than this come wednesday afternoon, as one prime minister leaves and another arrives. this is the week where everything changes, and rather a lot stays the same. chris mason reporting. labour has launched an educational leaflet that it says will help the party's members and supporters confront anti—semitism. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn says the party must face the unsettling truth that a small number of members hold anti—semitic views. the shadow cabinet will discuss the issue tomorrow. the prime minister will chair a meeting of the government's cobra emergency committee in the morning — after iran seized a british tanker. a recording has now emerged of the moment a royal navy warship tried to warn iran's revolutionary guard against taking over the vessel in the strait of hormuz. the government has described it as "a hostile act". paul adams reports.

iranian revolutionary guards boarding the stena impero on friday afternoon, carrying out a two—week—old threat to seize a british vessel. iran said the tanker broke the law, the ship's owners and the british government say this simply isn't true. earlier, tense exchanges as a british warship, hms montrose, attempted to stop the ship being taken. but the revolutionary guards were determined. hms montrose was too far away to intervene. they warned the tanker to obey.

translation: we followed the ship every second, every minute, and the tanker never left international waters. we understand that the crew are in relatively good condition but it's a stressed situation for everyone. the stena impero was sailing through the strait of hormuz, in omani waters, when it was boarded. at its narrowest, the strait is 20 miles wide. one fifth of the world's oil passes through it. the tanker was forced to turn north towards the iranian coast. all this is happening because a tanker carrying iranian oil is still being held by authorities in gibraltar. the grace i was intercepted by royal marines earlier this month. it's accused of trying to smuggle its cargo to syria, in breach of eu sanctions. another british warship, hms duncan, is on its way to the gulf to replace hms montrose, the government facing criticism for failing to protect british shipping. if we want to continue playing a role on the international stage, bearing in mind that

threats are changing, all happening just beneath the threshold of all—out war, then we must invest more in our defence, including our royal navy. iranian television has broadcast these pictures, showing the tanker now flying an iranian flag. a local official says the investigation could take a month or more. officials here in whitehall have spent the weekend figuring out britain's response. the cabinet‘s emergency cobra committee is due to meet again in the morning and the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, will make a statement later. i understand he will say that britain is working with other countries to improve maritime security and he will emphasise the kind of international, diplomatic response britain is trying to achieve. paul adams, bbc news, at the foreign office. police in hong kong have fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse protestors after another mass demonstration against the way the territory is being run. tens of thousands of people have been marching — the latest in a series of pro—democracy rallies that have been going on for two months now.

stephen mcdonell‘s report contains some flashing images. protests here used to end peacefully. not anymore. after the seventh consecutive weekend of march is in hong kong, some hardcore pro—democracy protesters have decided that escalation is the way forward, and they've been met with force. in a clear provocation, tonight's protesters moved on beijing's most visible presence in the city, defacing national symbols. this is the chinese central government headquarters and it has been graffitied by protesters, including here referring to president xijinping as a dog. it was always going to call for a tough response, and this is the response. riot police have come in to clear people out of this area.

and this is now what's happening every weekend in hong kong. tensions here are high, with a feeling that there are scores to settle on both sides. some are also wondering how long beijing will hold back from direct intervention now that the protests are targeting china's national institutions. earlier, a large, peaceful march made its way through the streets. what was a movement opposing extradition to mainland chinese courts has morphed into a broader defence of hong kong's freedoms and a call for democracy. we need to stand for what we want and keep going on. because we are hong kongers, we love our homes, and so we need to fight. translation: actually, the world belongs to the young. so i think we have to come out and say to the youngsters that we have their backs, and that we can give them our support.

this support seems to be holding up for the pro—democracy push, despite the increasingly violent nature of the clashes. but with neither side of this deteriorating political crisis appearing ready to back down, it's hard to see just how it will end. stephen mcdonnell, bbc news, hong kong. a 15—year—old boy has been shot and wounded in coventry in a suspected drive—by shooting. west midlands police say they're treating it as an attempted murder and are investigating whether the attack was linked to an earlier robbery in the area. lindsay doyle reports. it's being described as attempted murder. shortly after iipm last night, a 15—year—old boy was standing near a coventry city centre burger bar when a motorbike carrying a number of people fired a shot at him, believed to have him hit in the face. his injuries are being described as potentially life—changing. it's just not safe. you have to think before you go out now, just like is it worth going out? when i first got the coventry, i don't think it was like this.

i didn't really hear about this stuff. hearing about it now is a bit, like, wow. it's honestly heartbreaking. kids are being shown being the victims of these knife attacks, even shootings as well. a second person, who's thought to be aged about 20 who'd been standing by the teenager, suffered superficial injuries. just around the corner at the cosy club, a knife was recovered from a bag and three people were arrested. police are trying to establish if the incidents are linked. there was no—one available from west midlands police for comment today, but in a statement, they described the attack on the 15—year—old as "appalling and reckless, happening as it did in a part of the city centre which was busy with people enjoying a night out". officers are currently examining cctv footage and are keen to hear from anyone who may have dash cam footage, as there were a number of taxis in the city centre at the time. lindsay doyle, bbc

midlands today, coventry. a 27—year—old man has been arrested tonight in connection with an argument that led to a fatal stabbing today in cardiff city centre. the attack took place in st mary's street at around five o'clock this morning. the victim has been named by south wales police as 21—year—old asim khan from nearby grangetown. detectives are appealing for witnesses to come forward. wildfires are raging in central portugal, with strong winds spreading flames in the castelo branco region. it's close to an area of the country where wildfires two years ago killed more than 60 people. helicopters and tanker planes have been used in a bid to stop the fires spreading. rhodri davies reports. summers bring combustible forests in portugal, and wildfires can make the daytime sky look like night. hundreds of firefighters are battling these fires across the country's centre. but others are having to take up the fight themselves. amid the groups of the brave,

some asked why they were confronting these annual infernos. translation: there must be something that can be done. i do not know if there is anyone interested in doing it. but those in power should see that all this is against people's interests. firefighters managed to get two fires under control, but only after several people were injured. by fires that had started on saturday in the mountainous castelo branco region north of lisbon. they spread elsewhere, abetted by high temperatures and atlantic winds. police say they've arrested a 55—year—old man on suspicion of starting a fire. another year, another wildfire, another arrest, leaving portuguese wishing their beautiful summers were less cruel. rhodri davies, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news:

he'd begun his round deafening expect patient but his opening swing suggested the nerves were jangling and his 4— shot lead was to three. not for long, though. soon it was the shane show, shane lowry backed his best in the crowd loved it. great shot. with conditions bordering on the farcical, his only challenger tommy fleetwood saw his hopes slipped away and from there, it was a much to victory. shane lowry lapping up the moment before a tap infor lowry lapping up the moment before a tap in for triumph. and ireland, there is your champion. portrush could start the party and after embracing his wife and daughter, he paid tribute to his parents. they did so much for me when i was younger and i'm so happy i can hand them this trophy tonight. last but not least, the volunteers and all the fans. i mean, thank you so much.

this one is for you. and 150 miles south at his home club in esker hills, the celebrations were also in full swing for them and their star player, an unforgettable day. well the return of the open here to northern ireland was always going to be emotional but this was something else. rarely has this famous event seen a else. rarely has this famous event seen a more else. rarely has this famous event seen a more popular champion. andy swiss, bbc news, royal portrush. new zealand have won the netball world cup after beating australia by just one goal in liverpool. the final was tense throughout and came down to the dying seconds as the silver ferns prevailed 52—51. it was new zealand's fifth world title but their first since 2003. australia had won the previous three. england won the bronze medal after comfortably beating south africa 58—42. they were hoping for gold on home soil, but they did at least manage

a medal in what was tracey neville's last game in charge. it's now three third—place finishes in a row for the roses. adam peaty has become the first man to swim 100 metres breaststroke in under 57 seconds. the british swimmer broke his own world record with a time of 56.88 seconds to qualify for tomorrow's world championship final in south korea, something that he has been working hard to do. it was a complete advantage. i really think i'm in the finest form ofan really think i'm in the finest form of an athlete of a been in but hopefully the finest person i've been. i'm splashing and dashing in a

different way, this is my legacy. geraint thomas has boosted his hopes of retaining his tour de france title following the fifteenth stage. the briton started the day more than two minutes behind the yellow jersey of frenchman julian ala—philippe, but surged away from him a mile from the finish. compatriot simon yates the reiging vuelta espana champion was further ahead and won the stage, but isn't in contention for the overall race. thomas finished seventh with ala—philippe11th. his lead now cut to just over a minute and a half. and finally, harry kane scored a stunning winning goal in injury

time as tottenham beatjuventus 3—2 in the international champions cup. kane lobbed juve keeper wocheck shezney with a first time strike from the half way line to give spurs the win in singapore, leaving the former arsenal keeper with absolutely no chance. both kane and shezney were able to see the funny side at full time. that's all the sport for now. the party of the new ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky has emerged well ahead of its rivals in parliamentary elections. the national exit poll suggests servant of the people got around 44% of the vote, and it's approached the holos party — led by a former rock star — for talks about forming a coalition. steve rosenberg has been giving us the latest from ukraine. there were celebrations here at the headquarters of president zelensky‘s party, servant of the people, when the exit poll results were announced. that's because this party is way ahead of the rest. it's expected to get 44% of the party vote,

well ahead, more than 30 percentage points ahead of its nearest rival, the opposition platform for life, a pro—moscow party. one thing is certain. there are going to be plenty of new faces in this new ukrainian parliament. none of the candidates from this party, servant of the people, have been an mp before. why is that significant? i asked that question to the youngest man on the party list, the youngest candidate, who is just 23 years old. ukrainians aren't willing to trust the old elites, that have lied and tricked them so many times in the past. they want to give us a chance to change the country for the better. we are coming from various walks of life but we have expertise in many different areas and we are trying to put it together to transform the country anew. we don't know the final make—up of the parliament but president zelensky is going to hope this level of support for his party will help him to push through the kind of reforms he says he wants to carry out in ukraine, saying he wants to fight corruption and modernise the party.

there are sceptics and he has critics who believe he is in the pocket of a powerful tycoon, igor kolomoisky. both the president and the businessman deny that. for now, it seems that ukrainians are keeping faith with the showman turned president and hoping that he and his party will change ukraine for the better. steve rosenberg from kiev. the government is planning new laws to stop companies gagging employees who want to speak out about wrong doing in the workplace. there's been growing concern about the use of non—disclosure agreeements — or ndas — by company bosses to silence staff, particularly over issues such as sexual harassment and racial discrimination. here's our business correspondent, katy austin. anahid kassabian used to work at the university of liverpool. she felt she was forced out of herjob after illness, but signing a non—disclosure agreement meant she could not talk about it. she has since broken that nda.

in my case, if i didn't sign, i wouldn't get my year's severance package, or i was told i wouldn't get my year's severance package, and that meant i wouldn't be able to put food on the table or to pay my mortgage. the use of ndas in this kind of setting just should be banned. the university of liverpool has refuted her allegations in the strongest possible terms. a series of high—profile cases has led to scrutiny of ndas used by employers. for example, last year, sir philip green was accused of using them in relation to bullying and sexual harassment allegations, which he denies. ndas have various legitimate uses. they can apply to commercially sensitive details, such as inventions. but there has been growing concern, including from mps, that they are sometimes being used inappropriately to cover up allegations of harassment and discrimination in the workplace. last year, theresa may promised reforms to prevent their misuse. now proposed changes to the law would stop them being used to prevent people talking

to police or other services this about their claims and make sure people fully understand what they‘ re signing, and their rights. one lawyer who's been calling for reform says this doesn't go far enough. the good thing is that you can tell the police, you can talk to your doctor, you can go to a lawyer. you can even talk to a priest. the problems are that very many people in the real world will want to talk to their nearest and dearest, and this reform doesn't allow them to do that. the law change is designed to tackle an imbalance of power between employees and their former employers. it won't satisfy those who feel non—disclosure agreements simply should not be used. katy austin, bbc news. a new set of photos to mark prince george's sixth birthday have been released by kensington palace. all the pictures were taken recently by his mother, kate, the duchess of cambridge.

the decades since haven't brought the progress that was promised. i thought at that time, in the 1960s, that by 2000, 2005, we would be on mars. i think it's about time we get on with it. engines and turbo pumps... on the anniversary of the moon landing, a rocket took off from kazakhstan, to take astronauts to the international space station, including an american. and the united states is now developing new and grander plans for space travel. we are looking to nasa to get us to the moon within the next five years, to lay a foundation to go to mars. but if our traditional partners can't do the job, we are going to look to the private space industry. the technology has certainly advanced from what you'll find here at the national air and space museum in washington. some of the latest leaps are a result of the research being carried out by commercial companies, hoping to take paying

passengers into orbit, like virgin galactic and blue origin, the company founded by the amazon entrepreneurjeff bezos. the only reason that we can do the things that we can do today is because we are in fact standing on the shoulders of giants. they've got the flag up now. and yet, five decades on, much remains unknown. beautiful, just beautiful. and no—one can be sure where the next half—century of exploration will take us. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. what's that , you say? something on my shoulder? yesterday a summer fete in norfolk hosted the annual snail racing world championships — and though it got off to a slow start, there was a worthy winner , catherine wyatt has more. ready, steady, slow! they were slugging it out for first place but there could only be one winner among the 160 snails racing in the annual world championships yesterday. running since the 1960s, the competition pits snails against each other in heats, with the winners going head—to—head in a grand finale.

come on! my snails haven't been winning yet. i may be should have chosen larger ones which have more stamina and power, more muscle. in the end, it was sammy who took the prize. and although his snail‘s pace couldn't break the 1995 guinness world record holder, archie, english teacher maria welby was pleased nonetheless. i always believed he had it in him, from the moment i met him, earlier today! it's not what i expected to do on my saturday. really, it's perhaps a new career for me, in snail racing! norfolk with entrants paying £20 to charity to enter their local snail. thoughts are turning to next year's championships, to be held injuly 2020.
