you're watching bbc news at nine with me, carrie gracie. the headlines: the race to become britain's next prime minister — conservative members have until five o'clock to vote forjeremy hunt or borisjohnson, as two former labour pms warn of the dangers of a no—deal brexit. just imagine if we tumble out of europe without a deal, with no further endorsement from the british public against the wishes of parliament. don't you think there will be a huge reaction on the other side? dozens are injured in hong kong as masked men dressed in white storm a busy train station and attack pro—democracy protesters. after iranian forces seize a british tanker in the gulf, the government's cobra emergency committee meets to plan a response. prince george turns six —

the third in line to the throne is seen grinning in photos taken to mark his birthday by his mother, the duchess of cambridge. cheering in sport, victory for irishman shane lowry, winning his first major at the open at royal portrush. and also coming up — we'll have more on the full recall and apology four years after five million whirlpool tumbledryers were found to be a fire risk. good morning and welcome to the bbc news at nine. it's the final day of voting to decide who will be the next prime minister. conservative party members have until five o'clock this evening to decide betweenjeremy hunt or borisjohnson.

the winner will be announced tomorrow, with the new prime minister in place at number ten by wednesday afternoon. norman smith is in westminster for us. another massive weight, norman. huge wea k another massive weight, norman. huge weak looming ahead, but i think most people here are calculating that borisjohnson, yes, people here are calculating that boris johnson, yes, it's people here are calculating that borisjohnson, yes, it's going to win the tory leadership and, yes, will become prime minister, and possibly by quite a large majority. the next question is, what does he then do? all the smoke signals emerging from team johnson is that his plan will be to massively ramp up his plan will be to massively ramp up no—deal planning, that will be the core focus of his team in the early weeks, in the hope that it will, if you like, give the eu something to think about, encourage them perhaps to move on the backstop, albeit no sign of it so far, and this morning a warning from former prime minister tony blair,

warning that there is absolutely no prospect of the eu reconsidering its so—called backstop, which opens up the possibility of leaving with no deal, which mr blair that suggest would be catastrophic. look, brexit is divisive, and i ee, look, brexit is divisive, and i agree, whatever you do now is going to be extremely difficult, but imagine if we tumble out of europe without a deal, with no further endorsement from the british people, against the wishes of parliament, don't you think they will be a huge reaction on the other side? i don't think we can allow nigel farage to determine the future of this country, you know, if we have found him that somehow we mustn't do this. the argument for having another referendum, in circumstances where we are otherwise going to go out of the european union without a deal, i think the argument is overwhelming. i don't possibly see how it is undemocratic to ask people, look, in the light of what has happened, do you want to think again? a similar

argument made by gordon brown, who has warned in particular that there isa has warned in particular that there is a no—deal, it would particularly impact on some of the more hard—pressed communities, impact on some of the more ha rd—pressed communities, that impact on some of the more hard—pressed communities, that they would suffer the most significantly in terms of economic repercussions. the response from borisjohnson, we got some of it in his article in the daily telegraph this morning, which was, basically, look at the moon landing, if we could recover some of that can do and courage, and if we too could embrace the technological confidence that the astronauts had, then why on earth can't we find some sort of technical solution to the northern ireland border? why can't we find a way of allowing goods to ci’oss we find a way of allowing goods to cross without any sort of border checks. but the main pitch seems to be, if only we showed a bit more gumption, and that was the argument of the former brexit secretary, now boris johnson's of the former brexit secretary, now borisjohnson‘s backer, of the former brexit secretary, now boris johnson's backer, dominic raab.

all of us as conservative candidates and mp5 were elected and voted on in the context of a conservative manifesto which made very clear that we would leave the eu, we should have left the eu already, at the end of march, preferably with a deal, but otherwise on wto terms. boris johnson has made clear he will be absolutely resolute personally and in the collective responsibility in cabinet, in pursuing that mission, and keeping your promises as a politician is of the utmost importance. dominic raab there, but, norman, sorry, martin, not you, norman, there he is! on the question of the no—deal preparations that may ramp up no—deal preparations that may ramp up if boris johnson no—deal preparations that may ramp up if borisjohnson gets the job, no—deal preparations that may ramp up if borisjohnson gets thejob, i suppose you have got a willing partner on the other side, so what noises are the eu meeting this week? the familiar noises we have heard

umpteen times before, that there is no prospect of the withdrawal agreement being renegotiated. we heard it again very bluntly from the irish foreign minister, simon coveney, and the reason they say is, you know, so difficult, is because it is not just you know, so difficult, is because it is notjust a technical problem for the eu, it is also a political problem, and they argue that it doesn't really matter what sort of technical devices you come up with to get round a harder border, what happens if the technology files? what happens if it is not ready? what happens if it is not ready? what happens if it is not ready? what happens if it doesn't exist? in other words, they want an insurance policy — whatever agreement is done. it doesn't matter, even if you have the prospect of the most amazing technology, they still want a backstop, and unless there is a backstop, and unless there is a backstop, there is not going to be any agreement. secondly, their disincentive for them now to kebe is huge, because if they were to agree to mrjohnson and rip up the

withdrawal agreement, forgetting the backstop, it would send out a message to all the other countries they are involved in negotiations with — you don't have to take the eu seriously because at the end of the day they will back off. so a green light for president trump to hang tough and play hardball with the eu, similarly putin, why listen to the eu? in other words, from the eu perspective, the political pressure to stick with their current strategy and not to caving is absolutely colossal. and it is notjust challenges for the ruling party at the moment, labour are in all kinds of trouble today, shadow cabinet meetings to discuss anti—semitism, he is meeting — what is going to happen there? i think the honest a nswer happen there? i think the honest answer is nothing, which for many labour people is the most dispiriting outcome. so there will bea dispiriting outcome. so there will be a shadow cabinet entirely focused on anti—semitism, i expect that jeremy corbyn will set out some new proposals for dealing with the

issue, but proposals which fall a long way short from the demands being made for an independent inquiry system, for publication of the party's submission to the equality and human rights commission, for the automatic exclusion of people judged to have made anti—semitic remarks. so it won't satisfy mr corbyn‘s critics. interestingly, what we are getting now is quite a backlash against what you might call some of the dormouse in the shadow cabinet, those who say nothing and have said nothing throughout the whole anti—semitism crisis but have kept their heads down, and we have had a letterfrom the jewish labour movement and down, and we have had a letterfrom thejewish labour movement and other organisations, saying to the shadow cabinet, you need to show some real resolve on this, you need to stand up resolve on this, you need to stand up to mr corbyn and those around him to make change happen. i think the chances of that, i'm afraid, a very limited, given the nature of the controversy so far, so i expect the unhappiness will continue, the rows will continue, and mr corbyn will

just be glad to get into the recess and some breathing space. norman, thanks for now. it is notjust labour and the tories who have a big news day. the liberal democrats will announce the result of their leadership contest later today. jo swinson and ed davey have been vying for the position after the current leader, sir vince cable, said in march that he would be stepping down. the result of the contest will be announced this afternoon. let's take a closer look at the candidates and their policies, jo swinson says she wants to "reshape the economy and tackle climate change". she says there is no possibility of doing a deal with a brexiteer, and she includesjeremy corbyn in that, describing him as a "danger to our country", and would only go into coalition if electoral reform was on the table. in september last year, she became the first mp to take her baby into the house of commons. she said it felt natural to do so and hoped it would signal a modernisation in parliament.

her opponent, ed davey, says he would put brexit and climate change at "the top of the list". he's ruled out a coalition with eitherjeremy corbyn or borisjohnson but said he would consider going into government with what he described as "a decent partner". during the campaign he revealed that mi6 tried to recruit him as an overseas spy. we'll have the result of the lib dem leadership contest here on the news channel, live at four o clock this afternoon. the authorities in hong kong have defended police actions following an attack on pro—democracy protesters by gangs of masked men armed with batons. the unidentified men stormed a train station in hong kong, injuring 45 people, one critically. social—media footage shows the men, dressed in white t—shirts, attacking passengers on platforms and inside train carriages. protestors questioned why police were slow to arrive at the scene. earlier in the day, another pro—democracy rally, had been held in the wan chai area in the centre of hong kong,

where riot police had fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters. but the attack by the masked mob happened at a station in the yuen long area of hong kong, much closer to the border with china. at a press conference this morning, the chief executive of hong kong, carrie lam, spoke out against the violence. we absolutely do not condone that sort of violent acts, and let me make this clear again — violence is not a solution to any problem. violence will only breed more violence, and at the end of the day the whole of hong kong and the people will suffer as a result of the loss of law and order in hong kong. definitely, our manpower is stretched. i therefore urge young people, if they really have something to voice out, why not use a peaceful way?

so police and government authorities in hong kong. let's talk to our correspondents there, martin yip, and celia hatton is in beijing. martin, we heard from carrie lam there, but she did promise to investigate the very shocking attack on civilians that we saw last night. indeed, she has made such a promise, carrie, and that is in the face of another room behind this attack, that somebody even blamed the government for colluding with the attackers, which carrie lam as well as the police commissioner categorically denied such allegations. they promised to investigate the whole event, but the press c0 nfe re nce investigate the whole event, but the press conference went on in quite a chaotic way, a journalist trying to grill these two key figures in the government on how they think they are still capable to protect the

citizens and their property as far as holding stability in the city. so carrie lam definitely under quite severe pressure to show to the people that she can still rule after this business last night. and i suppose, martin, because of the shocking images we have seen on video, one aspect of yesterday's protest had not received attention on the outside world which it might have done, which was the direct attack or attempt to attack china's liaison office in hong kong, the defacing of certain symbols of chinese rule — that will concern the hong kong authorities and presumably, we will talk to celia in a moment, also the beijing authorities. well, actually, you saw carrie lam and a commissioner coming out in this press conference condemning what happened last night at the liaison office, especially with the defacement which they saw

asa with the defacement which they saw as a direct challenge to beijing's, so they do take that seriously. it just happens that right after the clashes outside the liaison office, after the crowd were dispersed, around the same time when police we re around the same time when police were trying to clear out the rest of the people on the street, the other attack happened in yuen long. and too many on the internets, as well as those who have lived in yuen long long enough, people are suspecting that this has anything to do with the pro beijing forces. we can't say for sure, but there are indeed one legislator who is so pro beijing that they came out saying that they we re that they came out saying that they were only defending their own land, and the whole event outside the liaison office would not go down well in beijing. so let's deal in more detail with the incident you

mentioned just there, the attack on people getting off trains in yuen long. those individuals carrying out the attacks, i mean, some were masked, but some were not — they seemed to feel that they could operate with complete impunity. indeed, but we don't have a clear identity of those people as yet, some people are trying to work out who is who in the incident, but we can't set up any of those connections so far. but the theory goes probably that most of the protesters we have seen, the anti—government protesters have been trying to protect their identity by masking themselves, while these people, they apparently have the aim to teach people a lesson, they want to teach people a lesson, they want to show that they can just do this because this legitimate thing to be pro—government, be pro beijing, but like ijust said, we need the police themselves to establish the identity

of these people. celia is in beijing, syria, there two aspects we we re beijing, syria, there two aspects we were discussing with martin, first leave the liaison of his incident, something that china has responded to with this line about violating a bottom line — can you decode that for us? that is right, i mean, beijing's language today has been very strong. last night it issued a statement that this kind of attack was intolerable, it said that this kind of attack on the liaison office was a blatant challenge to the central government, and so it is really taking away the softer language it has been using in past weeks, really making it a very, very clear that it sees the decision by the protesters yesterday, these pro—democracy protesters, originally their route was supposed to go far away from the liaison office, instead through police barricades and moved towards that liaison

office, and i think that really set office, and i think that really set off alarm bells in beijing. they are really seeing this as a direct challenge, as they say. turning briefly to the other incident, beijing has presented the demonstrators as lawbreakers prepared, for example, on the ist of july to deface the legislative assembly building et cetera, but i guess it won't be doing much in terms of propaganda with the images of, you know, these thugs attacking civilians getting off trains. well, no, it is not doing much with that particular propaganda, but it is not stopping many people inside mainland china from applauding the actions of those men dressed in white. we are seeing posts on social media platforms inside mainland china that are calling there was a men national heroes, they are calling them heroes in white, and i was have not been taken down. and there is evidence

that perhaps posts that were calling out the violence at the yuen long station have been scrubbed from the internets, and you canjust tell station have been scrubbed from the internets, and you can just tell by what the senses are doing inside mainland china that they are not stopping the national sentiment being whipped up that has really been speaking out against those pro—democracy protesters for the past few weeks. celia and martin, very interesting, thank you for joining us. theresa may will later chair a meeting of the government's emergency committee, cobra, to decide how to deal with iran's seizure of a british oil tanker in the strait of hormuz. troops from the iranian revolutionary guard boarded the ship on friday after tehran said it was "violating international maritime rules". the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, is expected to press for an international diplomatic response. andy moore has the latest. at anchor in bandar abbas under a new flag, the iranian flag. these are the first pictures released by tehran of the tanker stena impero since it was seized and brought into iranian waters.

its 23—man international crew have been taken on shore. they are said to be safe and well. the ships operators have made a formal request to visit them. the british—registered ship was surrounded by iranian fast boats on friday. soldiers were helicoptered onto its decks, and it was taken over despite radio warnings from a british ship some distance away. you must not impair, impede, obstruct or hamper the passage of the stena impero. iran said it was acting in retaliation for the seizure of its tanker, the grace 1, in gibraltar waters two weeks ago. it was alleged to have been carrying oil to syria, in defiance of european sanctions. this morning, the emergency committee cobra will meet for the third time to discuss this crisis, but it will be chaired for the first time by the prime minister herself. later, the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, will go to the house of commons to tell mps what action britain intends to take. the uk hasjust one

warship in the gulf at the moment, hms montrose. the us has many more military assets. an international plan to protect british ships, perhaps in convoys, is said to be in development. let's talk now to our middle east correspondent tom bateman. what is the latest from the gulf? well, that's true of 23 mostly indian nationals on the british flagged vessel now entering their third day of uncertaintyjust across the water, across the strait of hormuz off the iranian coast. as you heard last night, the iranians hoisted the flag above the decks of the tanker, using the ship's speakers to prayer, all signs that they are not looking at an imminent oi’ they are not looking at an imminent or swift resolution to this, and we heard from iranian state tv last night, an official in the port...

0h, night, an official in the port... oh, that is a shame, we have lost the line there. is he back? sorry, no, iam the line there. is he back? sorry, no, i am being told we have lost that line, that is a shame, we will try to get it back, but we can talk to frank gardner, our security correspondent. frank, the cobra meeting this morning, what will be said there? this is one of theresa may's final meetings, so i don't think she will come up with anything particularly controversial. they will sum the situation, look at the latest intelligence which is coming from british allies as well as british sources, and they will try to decide how they navigate this difficult dilemma of protecting maritime shipping, owing to the strait of hormuz, vital for the world economy, but without being seen to be tied too closely to washington's policy on iran. because there are two issues, carrie — one is protecting shipping in the gulf,

and that is the immediate incident danger, you know, tank is being seized like this, and clearly the royal navy does not have enough surface ships to do the job on its own, so it has to do it with others. at the bigger issue is the nuclear deal which has fallen apart, washington pulled out over a year ago, iran waited for a year and is now starting to incrementally break that deal, or clauses in it, and britain is not on the same page as america on that one. britain does not want to be seen to be sailing under a us flag, tied intojohn bolton, a very hawkish national security adviser, his policy on iran. it is very hard, because the nuclear deal is very complex, very enmeshed in all kinds of strategic questions between the us and iran, and yet we have a tanker in the gulf now in iranian hands with a crew in iranian hands, and that is a loss of face and humiliation to the british government, among other things, so surely they would want to decouple

the issues. is there a way they can bring in the indians and chinese, make this a global alliance in terms of safe shipping in the gulf?|j think of safe shipping in the gulf?” think there is a move that some would like to see russia and china are more involved in this, because they have got an interest in free passage of trade, china is a huge customerfor passage of trade, china is a huge customer for iranian oil, passage of trade, china is a huge customerfor iranian oil, and in some ways an ally of iran in international politics. so there is definitely a move to try to internationalise this, and i would say that what the british government is trying to do is to be measured under multinational. but this is embarrassing for them, because people have said, hang on, you took an iranian tanker, which britain says was perfectly legitimate to do, royal marine is helping the gibraltarians police board and iranian tanker a few days ago, which was allegedly smoking oil to syria, iran denies it. iran says this is tit—for—tat, the implication is they will release the tanker in exchange.

one thing! will release the tanker in exchange. one thing i should say about the true of these captured tanker, they will almost certainly be very well treated, very unlikely to be mistreated. any time that iran has ca ptu red mistreated. any time that iran has captured people in disputed areas, it has always treated them well. it will probably parade them in due course, there will be propaganda pictures of them eating iranian food, perhaps smiling, but they are very unlikely to be mistreated. fine, thank you very much for that, i know you will be on later as we get more developments. england's chief medical officer has warned that the uk must not be complacent in meeting global health care goals, amid the threat from infectious diseases which "do not recognise borders." in her final annual report before stepping down after nine years in the role, dame sally davies said countries shouldn't focus solely on domestic health and she called for international health leaders to share their knowledge and experience. and we can talk to dame sally davies now from our westminster studio.

thank you very much forjoining us, did we accurately sum up what your messages? i think so, did we accurately sum up what your messages? ithink so, although i have got another three months imposed, i have to say! yes, it is terribly important that we engage strongly, as we do now, going forwards in global health, because we are inextricably linked, and a threat anywhere is a threat to us, we are only as strong as oui’ threat anywhere is a threat to us, we are only as strong as our weakest link. and so gave us some case studies, some examples of where those are that we need to on. well, they are mainly infections that impact on us, things like monkeypox last year coming in from nigeria, things like ebola all sars, mers, even flu. but the point is, if countries do not have strong health systems, then they cannot cope when they have a threat, a local thread, and it can spill over and get ever bigger. so the threats are changing

across the world, we are seeing far more non—communicable diseases, things like stroke, heart disease, mental health problems, obesity, diabetes, and if there was use what fragile health services people have got, when some other threat comes along unexpectedly, it can spill over, and we are all at risk. and of course we can learn from other countries, and they are often into frugal innovation that we can see will help us, and we can import. so there is mutual learning, we need sustainable health system is going forwards that work for not only us but future generations, and then there is our security, as i have been explaining. other deals with the international dimension, because we are getting a new prime minister this week, and borisjohnson has raised questions over a sugar tax to deal with obesity and other forms of

ill—health — what is your view on that? my understanding is he doesn't wa nt that? my understanding is he doesn't want fiscal measures unless there is evidence, and i can understand that — the modelling works, and i think the evidence is there. but we need to collect the evidence, put it together, and demonstrate to him how important fiscal measures can be. the great thing about the sugar levy, of course, is that it is not a tax. it pushed companies to reformulate, taking out 45 million kg of sugar every year from soft drinks that our children drink, and oui’ drinks that our children drink, and our children do drink more fizzy soft drinks than any others in europe. so i am happy to look at the evidence, our policies should be evidence—based. evidence, our policies should be evidence-based. and if evidence is presented to him, do you think he will be persuaded by it, or are there persuaders on the other side? his history as mayor, and what i inferred from what he said was, if

the evidence is there, he will take it. professor sally davies, thank you forjoining us. we will find out what is coming up in the victoria derbyshire programme in a moment. it's prince george's sixth birthday today, and kensington palace has marked the occasion with some new photographs. one of the pictures, which were all taken by the duchess of cambridge, show him in an england football shirt. there it is a nice shot, isn't it? another shows the young prince on holiday. what a handsome chap! let's find out what is coming up on the victoria derbyshire programme with joanna. good morning, carrie, women considering getting breast implants should be warned about the risks of breast implant illness, surgeons have told this programme. that is despite there being no official diagnosis of the condition. a number of women have told us about debilitating symptoms they have suffered. it has been absolutely horrific, like the amount of pain and suffering i have had to go

through, going to clinics and hospitals and saying to them, like, iamso hospitals and saying to them, like, i am so ill, and i arejust, like, saying it is not to do with the implant. a full report coming up just after ten on bbc two, the bbc news channel and online. see you then. now time for a look at the weather with simon. it is all about the heat this week, for some of us quite uncomfortable, especially through the night, increasingly hot and humid, rain in the north—west through today, and we will see thundery downpours, so not com pletely will see thundery downpours, so not completely sunny, quite a lot of cloud this morning, rain affecting mainly western scotland in the afternoon, clearing from north—western parts of england, sunny spells developing for northern ireland, much of england and wales through this afternoon, temperatures getting to be mid to high 20s, potentially 30 celsius and eastern parts of england. the north—west of scotland, underneath the cloud and rain, more like 19 or 20 celsius.

through the night, rain continuing in the north—west, cloud developing into tuesday morning, quite an uncomfortable night for sleeping, no lower than 14—17 degrees. throughout tuesday, any cloud tends to disappear, lots of sunshine throughout the day, and i hot a day, temperatures widely in the high 20s and low 30s. bye for now. hello, this is bbc news with carrie gracie. the headlines... the race to become britain's next prime minister — conservative members have until five o'clock to vote forjeremy hunt or boris johnson — as two former labour pms warn of the dangers of a no deal brexit. if they hedge risk. no one could say it isn't. no developed country has

ever done it before. —— it's a huge risk. dozens are injured in hong kong as men dressed in white attack pro—democracy protesters on trains and at a busy station. after iranian forces seize a british tanker in the gulf — the government's cobra emergency committee meets to plan a response. prince george turns six — the third in line to the throne is seen smiling in an england football shirt for photos released to celebrate his birthday. time now for the morning briefing, where we bring you up to speed on the stories people are watching, reading and sharing. former prime minister tony blair has warned of the dangers of leaving the eu without a deal at the end of october. speaking to radio 4's today programme, mr blairsaid if borisjohnson became the next prime minister, he should hold a second referendum rather than trying to circumvent parliament. if you add in the customs union alongside the single market, well over half the trade is governed by

european arrangements. to come out of those with no deal, no agreed way forward , of those with no deal, no agreed way forward, that of course is a huge risk, no one could possibly say it's not a risk, no developed country has ever done it before. speak to anybody who is familiar with world trade organisation rules, they will tell you they simply can't predict how difficult it will be but for sure it's difficult, whether it's catastrophic or not, we hopefully we will not find out by experience. but i think, i think if you talk to anybody reasonably objective, they would say it's an enormous risk. if you try and measure that risk obviously you get different views. and if you look at what boris johnson has written in the telegraph this morning, it needs a lit —— little bit of looking at history, you've got to have a bit of faith, really. yes, it's a very boris johnson approach to things which is to say, look, never mind the detail but you know, if we only believe in ourselves we can do it and i've

found the article this morning, i mean, it's one of these things, ok, essentially what he was saying was look, the americans put a man on the moon and therefore surely we can find a way round the irish border problem? to which the obvious response of the europeans will be, if it's that simple why are you opposed to the backstop but in any event, the two things are rather technically different. but your solution is a referendum and that is simply not going to happen. he has repeated, boris johnson simply not going to happen. he has repeated, borisjohnson has repeatedly argued against a second referendum. yes, he has repeatedly argued against it but he is arguing at the moment that he will be able to secure a deal with europe on the basis that they will delete the irish backstop, put all of the arrangements over ireland into the future trading relationship between britain and the eu and that's something i thinkjust isn't going to happen. from all the conversations i've had in europe, i think there is no prospect whatever of europe reneging on its commitment to the irish. and giving to boris

johnson something for three years they refused to give to theresa may so in those circumstances he is going to be heading towards no deal, parliament is obviously deeply opposed to no deal so you will have a situation where he either tries to circumvent the will of parliament and take this risk without any formal public endorsement, either an election or referendum and ijust can't see him doing that so you're right, at the moment he set his face against a referendum but if we are with the choice between a no deal brexit and going back to the people, then the case for a referendum is extraordinarily strong. except you're kissed at the principal argument he gives for opposing a referendum. which is and i quote him, it's nothing less than a flag ra nt him, it's nothing less than a flagrant breach of promise to the people of this entire country and thatis people of this entire country and that is true, isn't it? they were told if you vote for leaving the european union, that is what will happen, no ifs, no answerand no

buts. but once we have to put on the other side of the scales on that. the first is yes, it's true, we were told if we voted to leave the european union we would leave but we we re european union we would leave but we were never told me were going to leave without any agreement with the eu come no deal. that is something indeed people at the time consistently said would not happen because a deal was going to be easy, the europeans will be queueing up in order to agree these future trading arrangements so i don't believe you can sayjune 2016 is a mandate for no deal. that is what the prime minister at the time said. but go back and you see what was actually said at the time. you can't do that in politics, you can't go back and said if i'd done this in 1939 you can't do that. but you can do this, you can go back and say if you really think the one—off vote in june 2016 as a mandate for no deal andi june 2016 as a mandate for no deal and i would say it isn't and furthermore i would say, three years and more on from that vote, we've got a wealth more information at our

fingertips and is it really undemocratic to go back to people and say, in the light of all this mess and with a decision of this magnitude, we are asking you you wa nt to magnitude, we are asking you you want to tell us again or do you want to think again? tony blair. the chancellor of the exchequer, philip hammond, says he will resign if conservative leadership candidate boris johnson wins the ballot and becomes the new prime minister. he told the bbc that a no—deal brexit is something ‘he could never sign up to'. but conservative mp and boris johnson supporter, dominic raab, said despite mr hamond's decision, mrjohnson has the best chance of uniting the party and delivering brexit. what i think he's worried about is the policy that the government has notionally had of leaving the eu, prefera bly notionally had of leaving the eu, preferably with a deal but if not on wto terms, would actually be enforced under a boris johnson premiership. and that's been the policy as i said for three years, of all conservatives, it was in our ma nifesto all conservatives, it was in our manifesto but the reality is boris johnson is best placed to unite the parliamentary party because he won double the number of mps and the mp

rounds of the contest compared to jeremy hunt, he won over half the mps, conservative mps in the house commons and i think, if he wins, as we expect, he will have earned his right to lead and deserves the loyalty of mps. i think the overwhelming majority will rally around him and want to see him make around him and want to see him make a su ccess around him and want to see him make a success of his premiership for the government, for the country and i think some of those and i'm not suggesting this of philip hammond, but anyone in the small and dwindling band of troublemakers will look increasingly self—indulgent because of the risk that they would because of the risk that they would be courting a hard left labour government underjeremy corbyn. the reality is that all of us as conservative mps and candidates at the last election were elected and voted on in the context of a conservative manifesto which made very clear we would leave the eu. we should have left the eu already. at the end of march. but preferably with a deal but if not on wto terms.

borisjohnson has with a deal but if not on wto terms. boris johnson has made with a deal but if not on wto terms. borisjohnson has made clear he will be absolutely resolute both personally but also in the collective responsibility in government and cabinet and pursuing that mission and i think keeping your promises as a politician is of the utmost importance as a matter of principle, but also given the banality of the brexit process. we are getting news that one government minister may have already resigned in the prospect of a borisjohnson prime ministership. let'sjoin norman smith our assistant political editor. sir alan duncan? he has gone, quit hisjob as editor. sir alan duncan? he has gone, quit his job as a editor. sir alan duncan? he has gone, quit hisjob as a foreign office minister in protest at the prospect of a borisjohnson government, very much like philip hammond yesterday who signalled he will quit ahead of mrjohnson taking up will quit ahead of mrjohnson taking up his post because both men cannot stomach the prospect of no deal which they believe borisjohnson is now leading the country towards. so we are beginning to see forming the

basis if you like of a tory opposition to borisjohnson on the backbenches. we saw a little bit last week when we had a0 tory mps voting against or abstaining to try and thwart any moves to suspend parliament. now alan duncan has decided no point hanging around. in some ways not surprising, he's a lwa ys some ways not surprising, he's always been one of the most ferocious critics of borisjohnson, describing himself once as boris johnson is pooper scooper, by that he meant he had to clear up all the mess borisjohnson he meant he had to clear up all the mess boris johnson made he meant he had to clear up all the mess borisjohnson made as foreign secretary and had to go around smoothing things out amongst other capitals after boris johnson smoothing things out amongst other capitals after borisjohnson had said something untoward or put his footin said something untoward or put his foot in it. he also led the charge against borisjohnson after the sir kim darroch resignation, our man in washington, you remember when he quit after those telegrams were lea ked quit after those telegrams were leaked in which he was rather disciplining a brat president trump. alan duncan was straight out of the blocks to accuse borisjohnson who failed to back sir kim darroch of

putting him under the bus. alan duncan has always been and would say one of the most competent, should we say pugilistic towards boris johnson. no surprise he's worked, i'm sure there will be others. quite a few remain supporting ministers i think may well decide of the next few days no point in hanging around. ina few days no point in hanging around. in a borisjohnson government, they don't agree with him, they don't expect to be appointed, better to walk than be pushed so i suspect this will be the first of more to follow. norman, one other question on all of this you mentioned the opposition to no deal. if they move out of the government tent does that give them the time, energy and coherence to start organising their opposition and i mean, we heard, last week, philip hammond refusing to rule out backing a no—confidence motion? it absolutely does, so for the tory opposition has frankly been

a little bit at sixes and sevens, it's lacked real big hitters. now, if you get for example, the likes of philip hammond, david cork, who knows greg clark? who knows, david liddington? on the backbenches, openly getting stuck into the prospect of no deal, that changes the dynamic completely, if you get a senior tories who have loyally plugged away at brexit, turning against borisjohnson, plugged away at brexit, turning against boris johnson, that plugged away at brexit, turning against borisjohnson, that gives a green light to others, added to which, as we get closer to the precipice, more tory mps i suspect will get the collie wobbles, so a0 last week, don't be at all surprised if those numbers go up, which would make it very hard for borisjohnson to pursue no deal, not impossible, not impossible, the legal default remains no deal. but he would have to circumvent parliament and i'm not sure he's got an answer as to how he might be able to do that. norman

cannot thank you for that, we'll come back to you for more on the collie bubble count as you get it! sport now and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's will perry. it's the morning after the night before? good morning. shane lowry is the new open champion after a dominant display on the final day's play at royal portrush. lowry won by six shots. and this is what it felt like to walk up the 18th in front of a partisan crowd who loved seeing an irishman win this championship on irish soil. it's lowry‘s first major title, having missed the cut at last year's tournament. open winners get automatic qualification for future championships until they're 60, something that lowry says he, his wife and his daughter will make the most of. my my wife knew to have her there waiting for me. to have her there winning, it's very special. look, i'm going to be coming back, i have another 27 opens to play! she's

going to be nearly 30 when i'm playing my last one! which is, that's going to be nice! the face of shane lowry is all over this morning's back pages. shane reigns is the headline in the express. the guardian says ‘lowry lands his ultimate prize'. and the star describes lowry‘s ‘emerald smile'. in just over an hour, adam peaty goes for gold in the 100m breast stroke at the world swimming championship. he made history in the semi—finals, by breaking his own world record — as patrick geary reports. nowadays, before a big race, adam peaty says he meditates, incredible peace before incredible pace. this is a swimmer who has already conquered the world but is giving everything just to finish in less than 57 seconds. commentator: 56.8, he's absolutely destroyed the best in the world. i'm really thinking coming to the finest form of an athlete i've ever been in and hopefully the finest person i've been, trying to get back to the sport.

this is how i set my legacy and this is how i want to do it. this has been a journey far longer than 100m of water. when peaty won olympic gold three years ago, setting a world record in the process, many would feel there were no worlds left to conquer. peaty took on project 56, a personal crusade to break what he called the magic 57—second barrier. as an athlete so far ahead of the field, he'd found his new frontier, battled it then beaten it. obviously being away from your family and being away everyone at home, it's tough. it's tough, but it's tough when you do stuff like this and make history so it's the price you pay, i guess. with every record broken, every race won, the question returns to adam peaty — what next? later today, we will have the answer. keep an eye out for history in the 100m breaststroke final. it won't take a minute. patrick geary, bbc news. the war of words over gareth bale's future has stepped up a gear. he's currently a real madrid player, but was left out of their pre—season match against bayern munich and it's fair to say he doesn't get on with

head coach zinedine zidane. translation: he wasn't called up because i believe the club is arranging his exit and that's why he didn't play. we will see in a few days what will happen. it's nothing personal. there comes a time when these things happen and it's what needs to be done. i make the decision and we need to change. we will see what is going to happen. it's not personal. pretty blunt. well bale's agent has labelled zidane a ‘disgrace' for the way he's treated the welshman. jonathan barnett says zidane has shown no respect for a player who has done so much for real madrid. bale's now being linked with a move to the chinese super league where it's being reported he could earn a million pounds a week. doing very well on social media in the last 2a hours is a moment of magic for bale's old club tottenham. have a look at this from harry kane. a stunning strike two minutes into injury time againstjuventus in a pre—season friendly. made even sweeter for the spurs fans given that the goalkeeper wojciech szczesny used to play for arsenal. kane describing it as the best goal

he's scored in his career it's been a very busy couple of weeks for england's netballers. they were so close to making the final of their home world cup in liverpool, but they didn't leave empty—handed. they got the bronze medal after beating south africa yesterday, and we've got nat haythornthwaite and head coach tracey neville with us now. great to have you here. looking back, how do you reflect on the tournament now it's over? coming into the tournament, we were one of the favourite teams to get the gold medal, we put out some of the gold medal, we put out some of the best performances of the four year cycle, playing some of the best netball but in the saturday game, it was probably, to lose by two goals to new zealand, it was probably the only game we made uncharacteristic errors that we haven't made during the tournament and toulouse was devastating for the team. to bounce back on the saturday after such a huge disappointment and to come out with a stellar performance shows the class of this particular team and

the way they group together and can get over defeat as they did. not, i know you're disappointed tracy is leaving but how do you push on to get the gold, following on from a brilliant gold in the commonwealth games. firstly, the way the sport has grown has been incredible and hopefully it will keep growing and growing, keep people in netball and keep people in england playing netball, over 400,000 people came to the world cup to watch, incredible for the sport and hopefully over the next few years will go one better. hard to see tracy living? it's hard, she's done incredible for england netball and netball in general. she believed in the roses she is the most passionate person i've ever met, she's been a brilliant coach. difficult decision tracy but you said you're going to be back at some stage you i think someone said it's your last game and i said for now. there's times in your life you have to put some of your personal goals ahead of your own career and this

was one of the decisions i had to make. however, these roses, they are flourishing, we've got the sport over the last four years to the place where we've only dreamt about and that legacy that has to be continued and you know, i want the next coach to come in and do a stellar job next coach to come in and do a stellarjob and next coach to come in and do a stellar job and take next coach to come in and do a stellarjob and take these girls further and further because they truly deserve it. you've both got a bit of a wry smile, do you know who this is? you said to tamsin, over to you, but there is a list of names you, but there is a list of names you could get thejob you, but there is a list of names you could get the job and would deserve it. you talk about favourable coaches. i look at the coaches within england. you know, you wanted to go to one of your fellow coaches, you know, you've come up with through the netball circles, you know how dedicated to the sport they are, they know the culture of english sport and i think that's really important for roses but it isn't down to us to make the decision. we know england netball

will make the best decision for this programme and we will support them in hundred percent. not, you will wa nt in hundred percent. not, you will want someone cut from the same sort of clothes tracey to take you to the next level. after the 3/3—place finishes that has got to be the aim, hasn't, to get your hands on a trophy? tracey coming in and getting the roses programme going, the last four years she's given the sport so much, big boots to fill but yes, she said, ithink much, big boots to fill but yes, she said, i think england netball will make the good decision. tracy, time off? i want a family. but also a little bit of a break, i'm a very intense person. i can't stop thinking about the roses, the players, how i want to take netball further and i think now it's time to give myself a physical and mental rest however, i still want to be pa rt rest however, i still want to be part of this system, i want to contribute in some way but i don't know what weight that will be at this current time. enjoy your time of and congratulations on a great career and best of luck with the future. thanks for coming in.

that's all the sport for now. more from us at the bbc sport centre at 11.30 we will look forward to it. well, thank you. around 100 firefighters are tackling a huge fire at a shopping centre in north east london. 15 fire engines are on the scene at the mall in walthamstow. part of the roof is alight, and the metropolitan police have declared the fire a major incident. local residents are being asked to keep their doors and windows shut to keep smoke out while crews tackle the fire. the security firm, gas, has made more than 1a million pounds for running an immigration removal site at the centre of abuse allegations. six members of staff were dismissed from brook house, near gatwick, following incidents of verbal and physical abuse filmed by the bbc‘s panorama programme two years ago. the home office said it was working with gas to make improvements. bailiffs will have to wear body—mounted video cameras under new rules designed to stop aggressive behaviour. the government says the move will help protect vulnerable people in debt — but campaigners say more needs to be done.

a senior whirlpool executive has apologised to customers affected by the saga of dangerous tumble dryers sold for 11 years in the uk. vice—presidentjeff noel said the firm is now offering free replacements or partial refunds after an earlier programme of repairs was judged as insufficient. here's our personal finance correspondent simon gompertz. a design fault in the dryers has caused 750 fires so far. lint from clothing can fall on the heating element and catch alight. whirlpool has been sending engineers to make a repair, but the recall demanded by ministers means it will have to go much further. for the faulty dryers — branded hotpoint, creda, indesit, swan and proline — it will have to offer a free replacement or an upgrade and discount, costing no more than £99, or a refund of up to £150 depending on the age of the dryer.

the fact is, we have inconvenienced people. there's probably been some confusion in terms of the messaging. the fact is, in many of those cases, we do apologise to our customers, to those who may have been confused, and it's an opportunity to say we are sorry, but it's also an opportunity to say we want to do more. we're not stopping where we've been over the last four years. the recall comes a full four years since the problem with the dryers was identified, and even now, contacting those with the remaining appliances could be a challenge. there could be 500,000 out there still being used. a group of farmers in france are convinced that wind farms are responsible for the deaths of their livestock. the campaigners say electromagnetic fields created by the renewable energy machinery make cattle and other animals behave in odd ways — which can lead to low productivity and high death rates. but scientists who've looked

into the complaint have failed to detect any chain of cause and effect. our correspondent hugh schofield reports from western france. it was when they put up the wind turbines that things started going wrong for muriel. her herd of dairy cattle began showing signs of stress milk rates fell, animals died. translation: there were cows that we found dead in the sheds where they sleep, no explanation at all. and cows that are constantly tired and refused to eat or drink, that was when we began asking questions. vets ruled out any disease or sanitation problem so muriel and her husband didier became convinced it had to be linked to electricity. in the yard, didier showed me an area of ground where he says he can't allow newborn calves to be

kept because he knows from experience they will die. he believes there is an underground stream that must be carrying an electric charge. the couple seem to be convinced their problems are linked somehow with the wind farm. but tests have been done and these tests have been completely inconclusive, there is no sign at all of abnormal electrical activity in the environment. and yet, their animals are suffering, there doesn't seem to be any question about that. so what's going on? france actually has an official body that looks into problems of farm animals and electricity. it's funded by the electricity industry which shows they take the issue seriously. its president told me the vast majority of cases they study are easy to resolve, it's often just a question of making sure buildings are properly earthed but there are a few like which remain inexplicable. translation: we have done all possible tests, electricity, noise, geology, and there is no explanation. but we don't know everything. these phenomena linked to the world of animals, there are things

we have yet to learn. another farm, another unresolved problem, this time it's rabbits that are dying at five times the normal rate. close now to bankruptcy, farmer patrick also blames electromagnetic waves, maybe from a telephone antenna. translation: we've known for years that if a farm is putting power lines it can put problems exactly like this. we know the problem. for me, it's all over. but i don't want other farmers to have to go through what i did. you had to see it to believe it. animals are more sensitive to electricity than humans are. but from there to saying that electromagnetic fields can harm or even kill is a step no scientist is prepared to take. for now, the suffering on farms like these remains something of a mystery.

unsettling story and unsettling to see those rabbits in those cages. if you're feeling a bit sluggish this monday morning, spare a thought for these guys... more than 160 snails took part in the annual world snail racing championships in norfolk this weekend. yes, that's what i said, the annual world snail racing championships. the winner was sammy — along with his coach, maria welby. there is sammy on the right of your screen! his prize was a silver tankard stuffed with lettuce leaves. what does it take to be a snail coach? your answer is welcome. now it's time for a look at the weather with simon. thank you. good morning.

throughout this week, the predominant feature will be heat, turning increasingly hot and humid, some rain in the forecast for the north west, thundery downpours, not com pletely north west, thundery downpours, not completely sunny but we are going to tap into the heat at the moment across france and the low countries, moving its way up towards the united kingdom, so in europe temperatures could be record—breaking, a2 degrees in paris by mid week. in the london area and south—east by midweek temperatures 35 may be 36 degrees, will keep a close eye on that but at the moment a lot of cloud out there. it's warm, muggy, the cloud will eventually break up across england and wales to give sunshine but the rain will continue across the west of scotland. quite heavy into the afternoon. some sunny spells for northern ireland, southern and eastern areas of scotland, temperatures here 25 celsius, widely though for england and wales can produce mid to high 20s, perhaps up to 30 degrees in eastern parts of

england. through tonight, still a bit of rain across the far north—west of scotland, the rain easing, quite a bit of cloud developing into tuesday morning, warm and muggy night, quite uncomfortable for some of us, temperatures down to 1a—17d. for tuesday, starting off on quite a cloudy note, the cloud breaking up and clearing away for england and wales, clearing from northern ireland and scotland and it will be a hotter day on tuesday, temperatures widely into the mid 20s in the north, 30—3ad for many in england and wales, with the sunshine. through tuesday evening, about 10pm temperatures are still up to 26, 20 seven celsius, very uncomfortable night. on top of that, storms developing across south—west england, wales, those drifting northwards throughout the night, there could be some intense lightning, quite a bit of rain associated with that. into wednesday, there was clear away, the

heat building, temperatures 32, 30 three celsius in the south—east, widely temperatures into the mid 20s. their state likely to be the peak of the heat. but then we'll see something fresher going into friday. goodbye.

hello, it's monday, it's ten o'clock, i'm joanna gosling. women considering getting breast implants should be warned about the risks of breast implant illness, leading surgeons have told this programme. that's despite there being no official diagnosis of the condition. a number of women have told us about debilitating symptoms they have suffered. it has been, like, absolutely horrific, like, the amount of pain and, like, suffering i have had to go through, going to clinics and hospitals and saying to them, like, i'm so ill, and they arejust, like, saying that it's not to do with the implants. we'll speak to five women who say they've suffered from the condition and a plastic surgeon who wants patients to get more information about the risks of implants. tomorrow we'll know which of these two men is going to be our next prime minister —
