good morning, welcome to bbc news, i'm victoria derbyshire. here are your headlines at nine o'clock. borisjohnson wins the vote of confidence in his leadership — and says it's now time for the government to bash on. i think it is a convincing result, a decisive result, and what it means is that as a government we can move on and focus on the stuff that i think really matters. i on and focus on the stuff that i think really matters.— on and focus on the stuff that i think really matters. i can announce that the parliamentary _ think really matters. i can announce that the parliamentary party - think really matters. i can announce that the parliamentary party does i that the parliamentary party does have confidence. but 148 conservative mps voted against the prime minister in a significant revolt against his leadership. ijust hope i just hope that, ijust hope that, given the mood of the public, the vote we have had here tonight, that the cabinet will

tell the prime minister that, in the words of steve baker, the gig is up. i predict we will have a new leader of the party, a new prime minister, by party conference this year. i'm geeta guru—murthy live in westminster, where we'll be bringing you the latest reaction to the vote. if you are a conservative voter, what do you want to happen next? do let me know on instagram, twitter and tiktok — i'm @vicderbyshire. an arizona man who begged police for help before drowning is told by officers "i'm notjumping in." the family of a british geologist jailed for 15 years in iraq for attempting to remove historial artefacts says his conviction amounts to a death sentence — we'll speak to them in the next hour. and england manager gareth southgate says racist abuse aimed at england players during the euro 2020 penalty shoot—out is a factor when it comes to choosing who'll take spot—kicks.

borisjohnson will try to draw a line under last night's vote of confidence in his leadership, when he meets the cabinet today. the prime minister survived, but two in five of how own mps voted to get rid of him. under current rules he is now immune from a conservative leadership challenge for a year. so let's take a look at the result. mrjohnson — who led his party to a landslide victory in the general election two and a half years ago — won 59% of votes. 211 conservative mps voted to support the prime minister. 148 declared no confidence in their leader. speaking after the vote, borisjohnson said the result

was extremely good, convincing and decisive, adding, "what it means is as a government we can move "on and focus on the stuff that i think really matters "to people." we'll be bringing you the reaction throughout this morning's programme. let's go to geeta, who's at college green in westminster for you. victoria, thank you very much. of course it feels a bit like the morning after the night before here. interesting to see how many voices we get coming to make their views publicly known today. the prime minister had survived but this morning's front pages on all the newspapers are pretty damning. dead man walking, lame duck prime minister, people saying it is if, not when, he goes. but at the same time the mechanism for dislodging a prime minister who does not voluntarily step down is pretty difficult. those rules on whether you can have a vote of no—confidence, technically the prime

minister is safe for a gap of the key backbench 1922 can adjust those key backbench1922 can adjust those rules to bring that forward of the parliamentary party exert enough pressure —— technically the prime ministers say for a year, but the key backbench1922 committee can adjust those rules. people try to relaunch his government's agenda but the question is whether policies can shift the public mood around this prime minister or whether they think they have determined their view on they have determined their view on the basis of his character and his judgment, his record in office 05. i will be speaking to some of boris johnson's biographers and we will be joined by ian black that, the leader of snp in parliament is quite a lot of snp in parliament is quite a lot of scottish tories voted against the prime minister yesterday. our political correspondent jonathan blake looks back at a dramatic evening in westminster. a big moment for borisjohnson as last night conservative mps voted on whether to back him or sack him as their leader.

nobody expected the prime minister to lose, but the result when it came was not the convincing win he needed. the vote in favour of having confidence in borisjohnson as leader was 211 votes, and the vote against was 148 votes. and therefore i can announce that the parliamentary party does have confidence. cheering. more than 40% of his own members of parliament had voted against him. his supporters cheered the victory, though, and for the prime minister, a win was a win. i think it's a convincing result, a decisive result. and what it what it means is that as a government, we can move on and focus on the stuff that i think really matters to people. as westminster weighed up what the result might mean, the prime minister's supporters rallied round while his critics said they weren't done yet. what i think is the best thing now

is that the conservative party - respects the ballot result and stays united. - parties will often lose elections because they are disunited. - look at recent history. it's parties that are disunited that end up in opposition. _ ijust hope that given the mood of the public, the vote we've had here tonight, that the cabinet would go and tell the prime minister that in steve baker's words, the gig's up. i'll make a prediction. we're going to have a new prime minister, a new leader of the conservative party, by party conference this year. labour and other opposition parties seized on the vote as evidence of a divided party in government. the conservative party had a decision to make — to show some backbone or to back borisjohnson. they have ignored the british public and hitched themselves and their party firmly to borisjohnson and everything that he represents. boris johnson is now safe from any further votes of confidence

for a year under his party's rules, but he's emerged from this test looking far from secure. jonathan blake, bbc news. speaking this morning, thejustice secretary dominic raab said it's now time to move on. i do think it's important to listen to those dissenting voices, i think it's important to show that you're listening, but what matters above all else is drive forward, deliver for the country, listen to the country and focus on their issues — from the cost of living, to crime, to the nhs, quality public services and the skills agenda and levelling up the country — and that is what the government is going to be doing. the former conservative leader william hague says borisjohnson has experienced a "greater level of rejection" than any of his predecessors and should now resign.

writing in the times he said, "votes have been cast that show a greater level of rejection than any tory leader has ever endured and survived. deep inside, he should recognise that, and turn his mind to getting out in a way that spares party and country such agonies and uncertainties." william hague basically calling for borisjohnson to find an honourable way out. his colleague george osborne always says both privately and publicly that boris johnson osborne always says both privately and publicly that borisjohnson will do anything tuesday in power. —— two stay in power. the conservative mp tobias ellwood — who chairs the defence select committee — was one of those who voted for mrjohnson to go. he said those who voted against borisjohnson needed to accept he would be staying for the time being. for the moment i accept the democratic outcome, i encourage all colleagues to do the same, but two in five of us did not express support

for the prime minister. they, we, now need to feel included in shaping the party's future. the conduct of the last couple of days was far from civil and illustrates there is work to be done to unite the party. i mean, jacob rees—mogg describing this... you know, spinning this as a remain plot. this tactic to mislead and deliberately distract, it shows a worrying grasp of the concerns of 150 colleagues from across the party, all wings of the party, about the direction, the vision of the party. we can and must do better than this. tobias ellwood has said the question of brexit needs to be better managed. he has called for some policy shifts given the economic hit the country faces thanks to brexit. one key brexiteer andrea leadsom has

also come out criticising boris johnson, saying she voted against his leadership last night. reporter: is this the beginning of the end for borisjohnson? i is this the beginning of the end for boris johnson?— boris johnson? i think he has won the vote comprehensively - boris johnson? i think he has won the vote comprehensively and - boris johnson? i think he has won the vote comprehensively and we | boris johnson? i think he has won i the vote comprehensively and we are just getting on with business. reporter: does he have your support? does the party need to unite behind him? the party gave its views yesterday, today is another day, we move on at yesterday, today is another day, we move 0 . ~ , move on at the prime minister will need to focus _ move on at the prime minister will need to focus on _ move on at the prime minister will need to focus on the _ move on at the prime minister will need to focus on the priorities - move on at the prime minister will need to focus on the priorities of l need to focus on the priorities of the country. gervasi is the right person to lead the party into the next election? that is it, thank you. i'm joined now by the snp leader at westminster — ian blackford. borisjohnson has survived and it is very difficult to see how anyone forces him out of?— very difficult to see how anyone forces him out of? what we need to reflect on. — forces him out of? what we need to reflect on. 148 _ forces him out of? what we need to reflect on, 148 tory _ forces him out of? what we need to reflect on, 148 tory mps _ forces him out of? what we need to reflect on, 148 tory mps yesterday l reflect on, 148 tory mps yesterday voted against the prime minister, it

is a very significant thing for an mp of any party to vote against their leader. that is two thirds of tory backbenchers who do not have faith and trust in the prime minister, i think it is a stunning level and we have seen votes of no confidence in other tory leaders in the past, theresa may and margaret thatcher, in the end it can run away from the reality that you don't have the moral authority to lead when you have such a large percentage of your own party against you. in a wider context, you think of the opposition, two thirds of house of commons mps do not have trust in the prime minister, that is an extraordinary set of circumstances. borisjohnson is that, in terms of the actual mechanics of how you force a prime minister and two has a huge working majority of 75 —— how you force a prime minister out, who has a huge working majority of 75, who will not step down, this vote of

no confidence being suggested by the liberal democrats, do you support that? if liberal democrats, do you support that? , ., ., ., ., liberal democrats, do you support that? ., ., ., ., ., that? if it is allowed to go ahead? at the end — that? if it is allowed to go ahead? at the end of _ that? if it is allowed to go ahead? at the end of the _ that? if it is allowed to go ahead? at the end of the davey _ that? if it is allowed to go ahead? at the end of the davey watt - that? if it is allowed to go ahead? at the end of the davey watt the l at the end of the davey watt the prime minister removed from office, it is a question of how to do that —— at the edge of the day, we want the prime minister removes. the power to do that largely rests in the hands of conservative mps. there will be a privileges committee investigation and i believe firmly the prime minister has repeatedly lied to the house of commons, i believe he has broken the ministerial code and on the basis of that, it felt guilty by the privileges committee, he will go. —— if found guilty by. if there was a vote of no—confidence in the house of commons, tory mps will be whipped to vote for the prime minister. that is not the best or most convenient way to remove this prime minister. so if this was tabled and allowed to go ahead by the lib dems, it might unify the tories? the go ahead by the lib dems, it might unify the tories?— go ahead by the lib dems, it might unify the tories? the lib dems have no ower unify the tories? the lib dems have no power to — unify the tories? the lib dems have no power to call—

unify the tories? the lib dems have no power to call a _ unify the tories? the lib dems have no power to call a motion _ unify the tories? the lib dems have no power to call a motion of- unify the tories? the lib dems have no power to call a motion of no - no power to call a motion of no confidence, it is the government order leader of the opposition who could do that. but we have to focus on getting the prime minister out of number ten, on getting the prime minister out of numberten, he has on getting the prime minister out of number ten, he has breached the trust put in him by the electorate in 2019, he does not have the support of his backbench colleagues. they cabinet don't seem to be doing anything other than staying very loyal, regardless about what people think about the personal ambitions? the payroll vote is keeping him in office for now, and i would concentrate on for now. this prime minister has to go, it is the third stage only prime minister that has broken his own laws while in office. we had remarkable scenes where he said to tory colleagues he would do it all again, attend the illegal parties —— the prime minister has to 90, parties —— the prime minister has to go, he is the first and only prime minister that has broken its own laws while in office. he has to abide by the laws as much as anyone else, his behaviour is unacceptable and unbecoming, he is not fit to be

prime minister. it will take persistence, i get that, but this prime minister will be gone in the end. pa. prime minister will be gone in the end. �* , ., , end. a number of scottish conservatives _ end. a number of scottish conservatives voted - end. a number of scottish l conservatives voted against end. a number of scottish - conservatives voted against the prime minister last night. we heard criticism from douglas ross, the leader of the scots tories, what do you make of that and what does that say to scottish voters? the you make of that and what does that say to scottish voters?— say to scottish voters? the scots tories have _ say to scottish voters? the scots tories have flip-flopped - say to scottish voters? the scots tories have flip-flopped all- say to scottish voters? the scots tories have flip-flopped all over| tories have flip—flopped all over the place over the last few weeks but i am grateful that most scots tory mps recognise that the people in scotland want this prime minister gone. in scotland at least the political parties, led by the snp and others, what this prime minister removed from office. we can reflect on the sleaze and corruption we see taking place in this government but i think there is something the scottish tories have to reflect on, they themselves do not have the power to remove him. people in scotland are looking at our choices and everybody knows the scottish

parliament has the mandate for an independence referendum, we will be having our own debate about scotland's feature and we will layout how to deliver a prosperous and greener scotland. that is where we will be heading to, quite frankly we will be heading to, quite frankly we want no more of this. it we will be heading to, quite frankly we want no more of this.— we want no more of this. it looks like boris johnson _ we want no more of this. it looks like boris johnson will _ we want no more of this. it looks like boris johnson will be - we want no more of this. it looks like boris johnson will be leading j like borisjohnson will be leading the conservatives into the next general election because there is not a mechanism for unseating him, and he still has the support of the majority of his parliamentary colleagues at the cabinet? there are two by-elections _ colleagues at the cabinet? there are two by-elections coming, _ colleagues at the cabinet? there are two by-elections coming, i— colleagues at the cabinet? there are two by-elections coming, i think - colleagues at the cabinet? there are two by-elections coming, i think the | two by—elections coming, i think the electorate will give their own verdict on the prime minister. his position is not tenable and one way or the other, he will go in the end. ian black that, snp leader here, thank you very much forjoining us. —— ian black search. damian grammaticas is outside downing street for us and you expect a cabinet meeting which will be filmed, i cover?—

cabinet meeting which will be filmed, i cover? yes, we have cabinet ministers _ filmed, i cover? yes, we have cabinet ministers arriving - filmed, i cover? yes, we have| cabinet ministers arriving right filmed, i cover? yes, we have - cabinet ministers arriving right now and coming in, none of them had said anything as they came in this morning but the cameras will be there, that was started a couple of weeks ago, something new. the message coming from here this morning, those who voted against the prime minister, they were described as a disparate group of disgruntled people and now is the time to accept the results and move on, but i do not think that will be enough for those 148, that was a much bigger result for the opponents of boris johnson than they thought, leaving him in a much more weakened position. as you just heard from the ian blackford a minute or two ago, those by—elections now coming up, i think all the attention will shift in focus on those because that will give a sense from beyond here,

beyond downing street, westminster, parliament, beyond the tory party and its mps, what is happening in the public vote because that is what matters, because many mps voted against borisjohnson yesterday, they are worried about their electoral prospects and will look to the by—election results to see what they can read into those. the by-election results to see what they can read into those.— they can read into those. wasn't this potential _ they can read into those. wasn't this potential defeat _ they can read into those. wasn't this potential defeat factored . they can read into those. wasn'tl this potential defeat factored into any vote last night and isn't it the case that if the cabinet stays loyal, it is pretty hard to see how borisjohnson is dislodged, even if there is great unhappiness in the parliamentary party? figs there is great unhappiness in the parliamentary party?— there is great unhappiness in the parliamentary party? as they exist at the minute, _ parliamentary party? as they exist at the minute, the _ parliamentary party? as they exist at the minute, the rules _ parliamentary party? as they exist at the minute, the rules are - parliamentary party? as they exist at the minute, the rules are he - at the minute, the rules are he cannot be challenged for another yearin cannot be challenged for another year in another vote of no confidence, but the rules could potentially be changed, but as things develop it is always a possibility depending on the feeling

in the party. on top of that you now have a situation where four in ten of the prime minister's own mps have said they do not think he is the right man for thejob, and the reason they do not think that is largely down to questions of his leadership. that will be very difficult for him to fix. they are talking about coming out with all sorts of new tribes this week, talking about getting people on the housing ladder, childcare costs, the economy and taxes —— all sorts of new drives this week. but the for those who against borisjohnson yesterday are really about him, his leadership, his integrity and honesty, his behaviour among that partygate affair, that is not something that is changing. so i think there are some really

fundamental problems that exist. and remember, we are moving into a period where we will go through the summer but the outlook, the prospects are that we will be seeing the cost of living crisis, which is what most people really feel in their daily lives, just squeeze increasing and the bank of england predicting possible recession, all these problems coming which are exacerbated for borisjohnson, when you have a prime minister who does not now have four in ten of his mps thinking he is the right man for the job. thinking he is the right man for the 'ob. ., ., ., ., ':: , job. inflation running at over10% b the job. inflation running at over10% by the edge _ job. inflation running at over10% by the edge of — job. inflation running at over10% by the edge of the _ job. inflation running at over10% by the edge of the year, - by the edge of the year, potentially. damian grammaticas in downing street, thank you very much for now. let's go to another part of the country to get reaction to this

week's events so far. regularly changes hands. labour lost it at the last general election in 2019. the current mpjames daly has a majority ofjust 105, the conservative party's smallest. this makes it the most marginal seat in the whole country. so what do voters there make of the events of the past day? ben boulos has been finding out. bury. with a former prime minister and the very first leader of the conservative party looking on, plenty of people here have an opinion on the fate of the current resident of number10. sack him. what makes you say that? because of the way he's behaved, and he's not very truthful. knows how to make the right decisions, the right choices. just because the had a lockdown party doesn't change him from being a good prime minister. so yeah, he's got... he's got politics. he knows what he's talking about. he knows what he's doing. so, yeah, that's why i'd keep him as prime minister.

he got you through brexit and he seems to have built the economy up quite well, and you know, you've just got to give him a chance, you know? i mean, he's not probably the best prime minister in the world, but, you know, i think he's probably as good as anything you've got down there. the birthplace of sir robert peel is represented by two mps who won their seats from labour in the so—called red wall election of 2019. one of them is sitting on the smallest conservative majority in the country, while the other defected to labour at the height of the partygate scandal. i'd get him out. why is that? i would get him out because he promised to level up in red wall areas, and he clearly hasn't. he promised to protect the nhs. he clearly hasn't. he's a liar and he lied about partygate. the man is not honest. he is not a statesman.

i think there's nothing wrong with boris. i think he's all right. it's not every day the result of a vote in westminster is being followed so closely here. the vote in favour of having confidence in borisjohnson as leader was 211 votes and the vote against was 148. cheering. come on, boris! paid off. they've been paid off. i think he's a great chap. i'll stand by him. yeah, same with any of them. you know, if you own up, be honest with everybody, you're fine. - the prime minister may be safe for now, but it's the opinion of voters in towns like bury that will determine forjust how long. that essay few voices from bury

north. —— that is a few voices. we can speak now to tom bower, biographer of borisjohnson. what is your overall reaction to what we had seen in the last 24 hours? i what we had seen in the last 24 hours? ., what we had seen in the last 24 hours? . ., , , , what we had seen in the last 24 hours? . .,, ,, _ hours? i am not surprised by the extent of the _ hours? i am not surprised by the extent of the rebellion _ hours? i am not surprised by the extent of the rebellion against i extent of the rebellion against burrows, but yet again i am not surprised he refuses to go. he is a man that fights for survival, the whole of this government is based on the survival of borisjohnson and not so much on the fate of britain and he will refuse to go until, in his own words, flame—throwers come in and burn him out. i think it is defiance and the party's misfortune as they do not have a realistic alternative, there is nobody like michael heseltine who could be the alternative new prime minister. he obviously is a very polarising figure across the country and he is talking of a relaunch to a degree,

with fresh policies. is it possible given it is quite difficult to force the prime minister out of office at this point, that the parliamentary party will come and the tories will be forced to try to get behind him. i don't think the party will calm down, the problem for boris is he cannot change. as i thought when i wrote my biographyjust over two years ago, he had been a very successful mayor of london and he would learn the lessons, he clearly has not and i do not think he is a person who understands his own faults and weaknesses, he does not listen to those seriously who try to explain it to him. i think he has had lots of opportunities to change, butjust relaunching the policy on housing will not make a difference at all, it is the character of the man. he is a fighter and believes an actual victory. you cannot imagine his defiance. he is also a loner and

does not listen to others, as we saw yesterday he cannot get sufficient numbers to actually dent his self—esteem against him. he will fight on. the only way the tory party will remove him is after the disastrous, potentially disastrous, by—election contest in 203 weeks' time, that they tell him he has to go and they will change the rules to have another vote if he does not, just in the same way they got rid of theresa may. i think the countdown is on, i think if they want to they will have to get rid of him by the end ofjuly so they can have a relaunch with a new leader for the party conference at the end of september. but he is a man who is so stubborn for his own survival and that has been his making throughout his life. he

that has been his making throughout his life. ,., , his life. he reportedly said he would do _ his life. he reportedly said he would do it — his life. he reportedly said he would do it all— his life. he reportedly said he would do it all again, - his life. he reportedly said he would do it all again, talking l his life. he reportedly said he - would do it all again, talking about going to a party to thank staff yesterday, even though in the past he had said he is apologetic for his behaviour over partygate, one of the keyissues behaviour over partygate, one of the key issues which swung the public against the prime minister. his colleagues were also prefigured that evenif colleagues were also prefigured that even if he won the vote by one, he would cling on, it would be a win. you really think there will come a tipping point where he will see the game is up and he will walk, to preserve his own dignity? i game is up and he will walk, to preserve his own dignity? i don't think ltoris _ preserve his own dignity? i don't think boris is _ preserve his own dignity? i don't think boris is a _ preserve his own dignity? i don't think boris is a man _ preserve his own dignity? i don't think boris is a man who - preserve his own dignity? i don't think boris is a man who worries | think boris is a man who worries about his own dignity and i don't think he is a man who can actually change, but on the other hand if he is threatened with a change of rules and there will be another vote he willjust and there will be another vote he will just say, and there will be another vote he willjust say, bring it on. the question is whether another 30 mps after the by—election defeats later

this month switch over and say enough is enough, that is the only way in my view they will get rid of him. the cabinet is all made up of people who were particularly chosen because they are loyal, so similar situations with margaret thatcher will not happen. theresa may try to fight on but it was very different, she was repeatedly defeated in parliament. the opposition to boris could perhaps undermine him by not supporting him in votes in the house of commons. if the government is defeated he will then find it very difficult to carry on. i think the battle is on but be under no illusion that boris will fight it. it's problem is he does not have many allies because he is a loner and it will be quite bloody. tam and it will be quite bloody. tom bower, biographer— and it will be quite bloody. tom bower, biographer of _ and it will be quite bloody. tom bower, biographer of boris johnson, thank bower, biographer of borisjohnson, thank you very much indeed. i think we will be handing back to victoria now and we will be back for more

reaction in the coming minutes. studio: thank you very much. three police officers in the us state of arizona have been put on leave after they stood by and watched a homeless man drowning. newly released bodycam footage and transcripts show the man getting into a lake last month, and said to police he was going to drown. none of the officers on the scene intervened to save him, with one heard saying, "i'm notjumping in afteryou." mr bickings soon slipped underwater and was later declared dead. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky says fighting has taken to the streets of the front line eastern city of sievierodonetsk while admitting that russian forces have the numerical advantage. mr zelensky said russia's bombardment of the city as well as neighbouring luhansk had turned them into what he described as "dead cities". but he's insisted his

forces were holding on. let's talk to our correspondent in kyiv, joe inwood. what interested me and when a president says some of his cities are dead cities? —— what does it mean? i are dead cities? -- what does it mean? ~ ., , are dead cities? -- what does it mean? ~ . , ., mean? i think that they are in the rocess mean? i think that they are in the process of. _ mean? i think that they are in the process of. if— mean? i think that they are in the process of, if not _ mean? i think that they are in the process of, if not already, - process of, if not already, destroyed by the intense fighting we are seeing. most of the populations of severodonetsk and lucy shanks have moved out. i saw those cities may be a month ago and they were verging on dad back then, not people in the streets and i can only imagine how the picture has changed over the last six months and they have become the front line of this —— verging on debt back then. it is worth pointing out how bloody the fighting is reported to be, we had seen footage this morning buildings

burned to the ground and it is taking a stroll on those cities, as president zelensky had said. is taking a stroll on those cities, as president zelensky had said. is your assessment — president zelensky had said. is your assessment that _ president zelensky had said. is your assessment that ukrainian - president zelensky had said. is your assessment that ukrainian forces i president zelensky had said. is your| assessment that ukrainian forces are losing... fighting a losing battle? the interesting thing is that it's really hard to get an accurate picture of what is going on. the respected analysts at the institute for the study for said the same thing in their morning briefing. getting a clear picture out of the cities is very hard. we have often seen contradictory information. one moment we are hearing ukrainians on the back foot and withdrawing, then they are on the counteroffensive. over the weekend, they said their forces had taken back of the i think it is fair to be honest about it and say it is difficult to get a picture, primarily because all of the phone signals are down. but i think, generally, the russians have been taking ground, they have been closing in. the ukrainian say they can hold the city. but another interesting point they made yesterday was that actually

severodonetsk is not, from a strategic and military point of view, it is not that important. what really matters is the city of lysychansk. why that is the case is because they sit one either side of the river, which has been a crucial feature in the war. if the ukrainians lose severodonetsk, while they still hold onto lysychansk, which is on a hill and overlooking the river, the russians would have to cross that. even if they do fall back, they say they have defensive positions there. i think the geography is on their side. thank ou ve geography is on their side. thank you very much- — now a look at the weather. many of us are looking at variable amounts of cloud, some sunny spells and a few showers. through the afternoon, the showers will be well scattered, many of us missing them altogether. the cloud will build on the south—west ahead of a band of rain coming our way later. temperatures, for some southern

parts of england and wales, will be a good 46 degrees higher than they were yesterday, top temperatures likely to be about 22. through this evening and overnight, there goes a band of cloud and rain moving steadily northwards. low cloud across eastern and southern scotland, clear skies follow on behind the rain, with one or two showers. and these are overnight lows. tomorrow, the rain quite smartly moves out of england, wales and northern ireland, and into scotland, but follow that curve round and you can see that it comes back into northern ireland and north west wales later in the day. for the rest of england and wales, looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers, some of which could be heavy and thundery. hello this is bbc news with me, victoria derbyshire. the headlines... borisjohnson wins the vote of confidence in his leadership — and says it's now time for the government to "bash on". i think it is a convincing result, a decisive result, and what it means

is that as a government we can move on and focus on the stuff that i think really matters. i can announce that the parliamentary party does have confidence. 148 conservative mps voted against the prime minister — in a significant revolt against his leadership. ijust hope that, given the mood of the public, the vote we have had here tonight, that the cabinet will tell the prime minister that, in the words of steve baker, the gig is up. i predict we will have a new leader of the party, a new prime minister, by party conference this year. three police officers in the us state of arizona have been put on leave after they stood by and watched a homeless man drowning. the family of a british geologist jailed for 15 years in iraq for attempting to remove historial artefacts says his conviction amounts to a death sentence. we'll be speaking to them shortly.

sport and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here'sjohn watson. good morning. it is a case of being back where it began for emma raducanu. she plays at the nottingham open this morning, where she lost in the first round last year. but that proved an unlikely spingboard in that break—out year which saw her reach the fourth round at wimbledon followed by that transatlantic triumph at the us open. interestingly, her match against viktorija golubic is her first on grass since retiring injured at the all england club last year. and ahead of the summer ahead, she suggested he could even link up with another familiar face in doubles. andy murray. is that going to ha--en? andy murray. is that going to happen? well. _ andy murray. is that going to happen? well, we _ andy murray. is that going to happen? well, we haven't i andy murray. is that going to - happen? well, we haven't actually soken happen? well, we haven't actually spoken about _ happen? well, we haven't actually spoken about it. _ happen? well, we haven't actually spoken about it. it's _ happen? well, we haven't actually spoken about it. it's something . happen? well, we haven't actually. spoken about it. it's something that we both, ifeel, want to do. i don't know if this year is going to be the year. but, hopefully, it will

definitely happen at some point. yeah. definitely happen at some point. yeah, definitely happen at some point. yeah.- soonish. _ well, emma raducanu will no doubt be the headline draw when glasgow hosts the billiejean king cup, the city selected to stage the women's team event, great britain qualify as hosts. labelled the women's world cup of tennis, gb looked set to miss out after defeat by the czech republic in a qualifier in april, but will now play at the 12—team event in november, alongside the likes of australia, canada, italy, poland and the usa. england manager gareth southagte says the risk of racial abuse will be a factor in deciding who takes penalties for england, admitting he feared he created the situation which saw several black english players racially abused after last year's euro 2020 final. bukayo saka, marcus rashford and jadon sancho all faced abuse after their missed spot—kicks saw england miss out on the trophy.

southgate said there is now another layer of complexity around picking his potental takers at the world cup this year. england play germany in the nations league tonight. you have to respect what they've been as a country, and what they are at a country, in footballing terms. that mentality is what we are trying to create. we've got to keep trying to create. we've got to keep trying to get to the latter stages of competitions, and games like tomorrow are brilliant for us. that's exactly the sort of test we need. one cricket line for you and new zealand's colin de grandhomme will play no further part in the test series against england. the all—rounder suffered a tear in his right heel while bowling on day three of the first test at lords and was unable to bowl on the final day of his sides five—wicket defeat. michael bracewell has been named as his replacement. northern ireland rider davy morgan has been killed in a crash during the supersport race at the isle of man tt, the third death in the event this year. the 52—year—old crashed

on the third and final lap of monday morning's event. welsh rider mark purslow died in a practice crash last week while sidecar passenger olivier lavorel suffered fatal injuries in an accident on saturday. the last two tts were cancelled because of covid. and it appears the money has won out after phil mickelson opted to compete in the opening event of the saudi—backed liv golf invitational series this week. the six—time major winner hasn't played since controversial comments about the breakaway series and the pga tour. the opening tournament at the centurion club outside london begins on thursday. other golfers confirmed are the former world number one dustinjohnson, and sergio garcia. players have been warned they could face bans if they compete. reports suggesting mickleson has signd a £200 million deal to feature in the breakaway league. that's all the sport for now.

now back to geeta in westminster. thanks very much indeed. it is, of course, a fascinating morning here because we are waiting to see how the conservative party reacts, the cabinet in particular. we know that the cabinet meeting and that the cameras are going to be allowed in. borisjohnson, clearly wanting to boris johnson, clearly wanting to present a united face. but a lot of the rebels are hoping that the cabinet will move, if not now, there may be in the coming weeks, after those by—election results, head of the privileges committee result, also looking into whether boris johnson misled the house of parliament, the house of commons. we can speak now to andrew gimson, political commentator and writer for the conservative home website. thank you for having me, i hope you can hear me all right.—

go. go, then he probably would have to o. . ., go, then he probably would have to to. ~ ., ., . ., y go. would he, though? would he try to face them — go. would he, though? would he try to face them down? _ go. would he, though? would he try to face them down? i _ go. would he, though? would he try to face them down? i mean, - go. would he, though? would he try to face them down? i mean, he - go. would he, though? would he try. to face them down? i mean, he keeps threatening a cabinet reshuffle. if a couple of members did say we can't back you, would he not simply try to appoint others from elsewhere in the party? i appoint others from elsewhere in the -a ? ~' ., ~' party? i think he would. i think he is a man of— party? i think he would. i think he is a man of courage, _ party? i think he would. i think he is a man of courage, and - party? i think he would. i think he is a man of courage, and he - party? i think he would. i think he i is a man of courage, and he doesn't want to give in to the prigs as he would think of them. so, he will absolutely try to use the remaining benefits of incumbency to set the agenda, change the subject and, indeed, to suck rebellious or inadequately loyal ministers, and appoint others. of course, the trouble with reshuffles is that you do create more and more embittered enemies, and you also disappoint the people who you don't promote. so, a reshuffle, as harold macmillan

discovered in the night of the long knives, it can make you look even weaker if you are not careful. very, very tricky situation for him. really, his lowest point since he nearly died in april 2020.- really, his lowest point since he nearly died in april 2020. sorry, i don't know _ nearly died in april 2020. sorry, i don't know if— nearly died in april 2020. sorry, i don't know if i _ nearly died in april 2020. sorry, i don't know if i miss _ nearly died in april 2020. sorry, i don't know if i miss her _ nearly died in april 2020. sorry, i don't know if i miss her due, - nearly died in april 2020. sorry, i don't know if i miss her due, i - nearly died in april2020. sorry, i i don't know if i miss her due, i hope we are keeping the language pristine here. ~ ., ., we are keeping the language pristine here. . . ., ., , here. william hague has written today saying _ here. william hague has written today saying that _ here. william hague has written today saying that boris - here. william hague has written today saying that boris johnson | today saying that boris johnson should find an honourable exit. is there any prospect of that at all? well, it would be a great surprise. sorry, i think we have lost the line, i don't know if we can get that back up again. if we can, we will. let us speak to bronwen maddox, of chatham house. your take

on what we have seen in the last extraordinary 24 hours?- on what we have seen in the last extraordinary 24 hours? thank you, i am the director— extraordinary 24 hours? thank you, i am the director of _ extraordinary 24 hours? thank you, i am the director of the _ extraordinary 24 hours? thank you, i am the director of the institute - extraordinary 24 hours? thank you, i am the director of the institute for i am the director of the institute for government at the moment, going to chatham house, so you are ahead with your reshuffle. i think it is as bad as a victory could possibly get. it is a lot tighter for the prime minister than his supporters were expecting, and that they were briefing yesterday. and it really doesn't do the main thing that he would have wanted, which is, apart from survive, despatched the question of his survival. he was obviously putting a brave face on it last night and saying, let's get on now with what the country really cares about, but what has come through, and is very likely to come through, and is very likely to come through in the by—elections in a couple of weeks, is what the country really cares about is partygate and the sense of frustration with some of the things the government backed has promised and not done. —— the

government has promised not done. [30 government has promised not done. do you think announcing a raft of policies, as looks possible, can change the public view of this prime minister? or is it really about his integrity, his character, and our peoples minds made up? that integrity, his character, and our peoples minds made up? that is the feelin: at peoples minds made up? that is the feeling at the _ peoples minds made up? that is the feeling at the moment, _ peoples minds made up? that is the feeling at the moment, it _ peoples minds made up? that is the feeling at the moment, it seems - peoples minds made up? that is the feeling at the moment, it seems to l feeling at the moment, it seems to me, that their minds are made up that this is about personalities and it is about his personality, and they have taken a view, over partygate but also over some of the things. but let's see. politics is a very fluid activity. i can put it that way. things do change. but he has got headwinds of a kind that any government would find incredibly difficult to cope with. that is the cost of living crisis, which is not just a british and international one, it is very, very hard to counter. any government would struggle to extract popularity from that. so i think he is going to find, even if he tries to turn to

the sunlit uplands of policy, he will find them darker than he would want. in will find them darker than he would want. , ., ., , ., want. in terms of how he tries to mana . e want. in terms of how he tries to manage his _ want. in terms of how he tries to manage his own _ want. in terms of how he tries to manage his own party _ want. in terms of how he tries to manage his own party now, - want. in terms of how he tries to i manage his own party now, because every time he comes to pmqs the opposition can say, well, look behind you, harmony of those people support you? three quarters of the mps not on the payroll, not on the government books, effectively, we think, voted against their own prime minister. —— how many of these people. how does he handle that? will he come across difficult votes ahead? will he do a reshuffle, and will that make any difference? it is will that make any difference? it is ve hard will that make any difference? it is very hard for— will that make any difference? it is very hard for him _ will that make any difference? h 3 very hard for him to do a reshuffle. he may try, he might want to reward some of the loyalists, a small number of people who noisily came out with their support. but the ones you don't reward, or demote, throughout, can come back to bite you. we saw that at the beginning of this week with jesse norman. you. we saw that at the beginning of this week withjesse norman. that was someone who had been doing well

in the treasury, as minister, and then demoted without obvious cause, and then launched a scathing letter at the prime minister, at the beginning of monday morning. so they are not without peril, reshuffles. the sheer range of opposition to him across the party, from his mps, makes it very difficult, it seems to me, for him to calculate where opposition is coming from. on every vote, he will have to look and calculate again, has he got the support? that is bound to have an inhibiting effect on what he feels he can bring to parliament. that inhibiting effect on what he feels he can bring to parliament. at the same time. _ he can bring to parliament. at the same time, from _ he can bring to parliament. at the same time, from what _ he can bring to parliament. at the same time, from what you - he can bring to parliament. at the same time, from what you know l he can bring to parliament. at the| same time, from what you know of he can bring to parliament. at the - same time, from what you know of him and how he operates, he is not going to go unless he is forced out, presumably, and the mechanism to force him out is difficult, isn't it? the party would have to try to get another vote of no confidence, changing the 1922 rules, or the cabinet ministers or junior

ministers cabinet ministers orjunior ministers would have to have mass walk—outs. is that likely? lt’s ministers would have to have mass walk-outs. is that likely?— walk-outs. is that likely? it's not, at this point. _ walk-outs. is that likely? it's not, at this point, the _ walk-outs. is that likely? it's not, at this point, the morning - walk-outs. is that likely? it's not, at this point, the morning after i walk-outs. is that likely? it's not, l at this point, the morning after the vote. the top thing that is likely to happen, no. but if they come to the conclusion they cannot win an election with borisjohnson, the party does have ways of getting rid of its leader stop yes, the rules might well have to be but they can be. the institute has criticised the secrecy around those procedures. but i think you have caught his character there, at the beginning. from what we know of him, he will want to stay as long as he can. at this vote does not come on its own, bring that security. in the end, it will be up to his colleagues. bronwen maddox, of the institute of government, thank you forjoining us. being a number10, if you government, thank you forjoining us. being a number 10, if you are in politics, it is the most glittering

prize, number10, the politics, it is the most glittering prize, number 10, the power politics, it is the most glittering prize, number10, the powerand glory that goes with it, very hard for any prime minister to walk away from it. there was that no boris johnson say he is not one that is going to walk away easily, whether the conservative party is going to act against him to try to force him to be deposed is the key question in the days and weeks ahead. for now, ahead of much more reaction, let's go back to the studio. the family of a retired british geologist say his 15—yearjail term in iraq for attempting to smuggle antiquities out of the country is tantamount to a death sentence. jim fitton, who's 66, was arrested at baghdad airport in march, with pottery shards in his luggage. let's talk to mr fritton's son—in—law, sam tasker. hello, thank you very much for talking to us. tell us about the

fritton. the number of fines issued to parents in england for truancy from school is increasing, as the penalties return after the pandemic. they were mostly set aside in recent years because of the disruption of covid. but a bbc investigation found £3.7 million in fines have been given out in the academic year to easter. our education editor branwen jeffreys has this report. you may go a little bit further. i'm going to steal your idea when we talked about the gradient... getting pupils into school every day isn't an exact science. but this school has seen a massive turnaround. once the attendance was among the worst in england. kane and olivia rarely missed school now, but over the last couple of years they hadn't always turned up, as the pandemic created pressures at home. ijust wanted time to myself, just time away from things that cause stress or that could cause stress. it feels better being back rather thanjust on the street with my mates. i didn't want to see anyone, didn't want to talk. -

ijust felt so, like, miserable, and i know i made it worth. staying in the house, - and i'm so glad that i'm not doing that any more, _ because i wouldn't be in the same place i am now. your grades are good after your last paper. praising hard work and better grades is part of it. posh teas for tutor groups that do well. rewards and treats like this tea or trips out are part of a system of incentives here to make sure that good attendance is recognised. although at the end of the line, if parents don't make sure their children come to school, they will be fined. during the pandemic, there was more leeway around attendance, but across england, fixed penalty fines for parents have returned. 130 out of 152 local authorities shared their data with us. in 2018—19, just over 272,000 fines were issued, leading to £14 million being paid by parents.

in 2021-22, 71,000 fines were issued by easter, with £3.7 million paid by parents. i think we should visit this one. at this school, there's a team chasing up families warning poor attendance can lead to fines, but also finding out what's going on and offering support. a lot of work goes on behind the scenes of trying to help parents trust us that we are here to help, we're notjust there to, "why is your child not at school," and to bang on and define and send them to court and things like that. there's a lot of factors that we take into consideration first and foremost, and are here to support with. after the disruption of covid, they're trying to reset, rebuilding the daily habit of school. branwen jeffreys, bbc news, middlesbrough.

we are going to bring you some pictures from inside number 10, the meeting of the prime minister and his top team, the cabinet, very unusual to hear what is going on in these meetings. but let's have a look and a lesson. —— listen. good morning, everybody. are we good? no? are we all sat? good morning, cabinet, thank you all very much, very good to see you all. thank you, by the way, everybody for your good work yesterday, which was a very important day, because we are able now to draw a line under the issues that our opponents want to talk about, and we are able to get on with talking about what i think the people in this country want to talk about, which is what we are doing to help them and to take the

country forward. that is what we are going to do. we are going to focus exclusively on that. and we're helping people, of course, number one, dealing with the after—shocks of covid, huge sums that we are putting in to help cushion the inflationary impact, the rise in energy prices. i think a total of £37 billion we have already put in. £1200 for 8 million of the most vulnerable households in the country. why are we able to do this? because we took the right decisions during covid and we came out of that, out of the pandemic, in a very strong economic position. unemployment at the lowest level since 1974, as i never tire of telling you. and we are going to get on with the massive gender that we were elected to deliver in 2019. and it is a huge, huge thing we are all embarked on. really transformative. infrastructure, skills and technology, uniting and levelling up across the country, unleashing the potential of the whole of the uk. it

is a totally morally, socially, economically, politically, the right thing to do. and we should be proud, proud, proud of what we are doing. the prime minister talking to his cabinet inside number 10 this morning. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello again. for many of us today, we're looking at variable amounts of cloud, some sunny spells and a few showers. through the afternoon, the showers will be well scattered, many of us missing them all together. and the cloud is going to build in the south—west ahead of a band of rain coming our way later. four to six degrees higher than they were yesterday. but our top temperature's likely to be about 22. through this evening and overnight, there goes our band of cloud and rain moving steadily northwards, low cloud across eastern and southern scotland. clear skies follow on behind the rain with one or two showers. and these are our overnight lows. tomorrow the rain quite smartly moves out of england, wales and northern ireland and into scotland.

but follow that curve round and you can see it comes back into northern ireland and north—west wales later in the day. now, for the rest of england and wales, looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers, some of which could be heavy and thundery.

hello, welcome to bbc news — i'm victoria derbyshire — here are your headlines from the uk and around the world. borisjohnson tells his top team he is drawling a line under questions about his leadership — after winning last night's vote confidence in his leadership. thank you everybody for all your good work yesterday which was a very important day, because we are able to draw a line under the issues that our opponents want to talk about, and we are able to get on with talking about what i think people in this country want us to talk about. but 148 conservative mps voted

against the prime minister in a significant revolt against his
