this is bbc news. hello and welcome. i'm shaun leigh. the headlines: borisjohnson tells his top team he is drawing a line under questions about his leadership — after winning last night's vote of confidence. 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 of this country want us to talk about, which is what we are doing to help them. over 148 mps who voted against boris johnson it is a significant revolt against his leadership. this was an inconclusive result from one respect, not a defeat but not a win that allows us to draw a line. in normal times this would result probably in a resignation, but these are far from normal times.

i'm geeta guru—murthy live in westminster — bringing you the latest reaction to the vote. in other news, a man who remained a member of the banned group national action after the ban in 2016 has been jailed for action after the ban in 2016 has beenjailed for eight and action after the ban in 2016 has been jailed for eight and a half years today. monitoring groups call for government intervention to ease rising fuel prices. they rac says it cost £98 to fill the average car with petrol now. good afternoon. borisjohnson has told the cabinet the government can now �*draw a line under the issues their opponents want to talk about�* — following last night's vote of confidence in his leadership.

the prime minister survived — despite a significant rebellion by 41% of his own mps. mrjohnson said it was a decisive result — but his tory critics maintain that his days are numbered. let'sjoin my colleague geeta guru murthy in college green. thank you very much indeed. we are gathering reaction from across the political spectrum, talking to members of the conservative party, trying to understand the mood now the morning after, the day after the night before. borisjohnson survives, but how damaged is he? is he safe? should the critics quell their voices and allow him now to take the conservatives through the next year or two into a general election? orwill next year or two into a general election? or will the critics try a grin to topple the prime minister? let's get the latest from damian grammaticas. —— the critics try again. today, time for a downing street clean—up operation. if a prime minister has nine lives, how many does the current one have left? yesterday, his loyal supporters said

a win by one vote would be enough. he won comfortably and now he is getting on with business. cabinet this morning, there is a lot to be done. but it was a good result for the prime minister, he won. and he won by more than the one i said was enough. reporter: how wounded is the prime minister? - but the cabinet gathering today know that last night's result for the prime minister was worse than almost anyone had expected. previous tory leaders theresa may and john major all got bigger shares of their mps to back them. reporter: can the prime minister survive? - those leaders were left wounded. so what about this one? thank you, by the way, everybody, for all 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 can get on with talking about what i think the people in this country want us to talk about, which is what we are doing to help them and take the country forward. boris johnson's backers want to move on, but four in ten of his mps do not

believe he is the right man for thejob, and some round the cabinet table could one day be possible alternatives. last night, the scale of the discontent in the tory party was laid bare. mrjohnson's critics do not have a leader or even an organised campaign. thejohnson camp have described them as disparate and disgruntled, but they number almost 150 mps. the vote in favour of having confidence in borisjohnson as the leader was 211 votes. the vote against was 148 votes. this was an inconclusive result, in one respect, not a defeat, but not a win. that allows us to draw a line, in normal times, as a result, probably in a resignation, but it is far from normal times. mrjohnson's critics come from all wings of the party. andrea leadsom, a brexit supporter, said last week that there had been significant failures of leadership. today, she said mrjohnson's win was comprehensive. today is another day, we move on. i know the prime minister will want to focus absolutely

on the priorities of the country. reporter: he is the right man to lead the party - into the next election? that's it, thanks. not answering if mrjohnson was the right leaderfor the party. this is catastrophic for the prime minister, but what is more important is the overwhelming public opinion that borisjohnson broke the rules and should not be prime minister. but this prime minister thinks he doesn't have to follow the rules and that he willjust keep carrying on. he doesn't put anyone forward first, including the country, he always thinks of himself. more problems loom. two tricky by—elections, parliament investigating whether he lied to it, and an economy maybe heading for recession. issues to test even the most secure leader. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. and more on the by—elections because we will see the results of those later this month, one in wakefield in the north vulnerable to the labour party and one in tiverton and

honiton in the south in devon where the lib dems are challengers, although it is a big tory majority. our correspondentjenny kumah has been gauging the mood there after that vote. tiverton is an ordinary market town in this traditional rural part of devon, but around a month ago it was at the centre of an extraordinary political story. the conservative mp here, neil parish, resigned after admitting watching pornography in the house of commons. so, how are people here feeling about last night's no—confidence vote? unfortunately, i don't think boris has got much longer to live, i don't think he will be our prime minister very much longer. which is regretful, but let's hope someone else in the conservatives will come forth and be perhaps a better leader than he is. how happy are you with last night's result? quite pleased, in a way. i do vote tory, and ijust think he is the best person for the job.

i cannot see anybody else who has got the nerve and whatever else to do the job. this has been a conservative seat for decades, but opposition parties are hoping to change that in the by—election later this month. some voters here feel the pressure is on for the prime minister to go. i do not think boris will survive until the end of the year. i hope he doesn't. he doesn't deserve to be in office. regardless of his policies, his behaviour alone is enough to disbar him from being there. this market trader feels the writing is on the wall for borisjohnson. his supporters will say though there has been a vote, he won and it is time to move on? they are a bit deluded, they are hanging on. as an outside observer, you can see it is not a good look. the usual? absolutely.

out on the high street, the feeling in this barbers is that this is not the right time for the conservative party to cut their losses and remove the prime minister. i think he should stay. some people feel, particularly around partygate, the parties during lockdown, that was unacceptable. i think he has done more than enough. i think he works hard, and he is doing what he can. i don't know why... maybe they don't like him. i don't think labour would have done any better with the pandemic that happened. he got us through that, and, yeah, he may have made a mistake, we all make mistakes in life. so i think he should stay. for now, the conservative party in westminster has made its decision on the prime minister. the by—election result here could give an indication of what direction ordinary voters want the country's leadership to go in. jenny kumah, bbc news. from devon to wakefield, i'm joined now by nick garnett, our correspondent in wakefield. what is

elsewhere as well on a great scale. can you remind us why we're this by—election? can you remind us why we're this by-election?_ by-election? they are having a by-election — by-election? they are having a by-election because _ by-election? they are having a by-election because the - by-election? they are having a by-election because the mp i by-election? they are having a i by-election because the mp who by-election? they are having a - by-election because the mp who was by—election because the mp who was sitting here, this is a constituency that had been labourfor sitting here, this is a constituency that had been labour for many years, probably since the dinosaurs ruled the world! but it changed at the last election by a wafer thin majority. the incumbent mp imran khan was convicted of a sex offence and was sent to prison. he is appealing that sentence at the moment but because of parliamentary rules he is not allowed to stand at the moment and so the election has been called. the moment and so the election has been called-— the moment and so the election has been called. w ., ~ been called. 0k, nick garnett, thank ou. i'm been called. 0k, nick garnett, thank yom i'm joined _ been called. 0k, nick garnett, thank you- i'm joined by — been called. 0k, nick garnett, thank you. i'm joined by the _ been called. ok, nick garnett, thank you. i'mjoined by the political- you. i'm joined by the political editorfor you. i'm joined by the political editor for the you. i'm joined by the political editorfor the yorkshire you. i'm joined by the political editor for the yorkshire post now. you also know this patch very well. what is your sense of which way it might go? ads, what is your sense of which way it miaht no? �* .., , what is your sense of which way it mitht to? �* _, , ., what is your sense of which way it miaht no? �* , ., , what is your sense of which way it might go? a couple of polls came out before yesterday's _ might go? a couple of polls came out before yesterday's dramatic _ might go? a couple of polls came out before yesterday's dramatic events i before yesterday's dramatic events and they have both shown substantial labour leads of 20 points plus and i don't think what happened yesterday

is going to move the dial in favour of the conservatives on that. there are two issues going on, the eroding of public trust with boris johnson but also the specific local issue of what happened with the previous mp. when you see the conservatives attacking each other, we saw nadine dorries on twitter going after jeremy hunt, i know you will not necessarily have been able to speak to everyone in wakefield overnight, but are you thinking that that division within the conservatives publicly might be damaging for them? well, obviously from labour's perspective their public position is, it is a shame borisjohnson hasn't gone. i think when they are talking and looking at this by—election this is in some respects the ideal result for them because you now have a situation where the prime minister, it is out there in the public domain, 40% of his own

mps don't think he is the man for thejob, and if you are the opposition party trying to win back this kind of totemic red wall seat thatis this kind of totemic red wall seat that is ideal, really.— that is ideal, really. what does wakefield tell _ that is ideal, really. what does wakefield tell us _ that is ideal, really. what does wakefield tell us about - that is ideal, really. what does wakefield tell us about the - that is ideal, really. what does l wakefield tell us about the other red wall seats, do you think? i red wall seats, do you think? i think you do have to factor in the unusual circumstances in which this election, this by—election called, obviously, because of the sitting mp being convicted of a serious offence. i think it's interesting that other red wall mps interesting that other red wall mps in yorkshire, particularly in south yorkshire yesterday, were quite vocalin yorkshire yesterday, were quite vocal in their backing for boris johnson. they believe he is still the man for the job and their constituents still have faith to a certain extent in the prime minister too. ., , , , certain extent in the prime minister too. . , , , certain extent in the prime minister too. , , too. finally, briefly if! can come is brexit still— too. finally, briefly if! can come is brexit still issue _ too. finally, briefly if! can come is brexit still issue an _ too. finally, briefly if! can come is brexit still issue an which - is brexit still issue an which rallies conservative support? if

afternoon?— where the tory party is this afternoon? ~ , , afternoon? the prime minister is talkin: afternoon? the prime minister is talking about _ afternoon? the prime minister is talking about last _ afternoon? the prime minister is talking about last night's - afternoon? the prime minister is talking about last night's result l talking about last night's result being decisive and moving on. there are some tory mps who want to do that, a lot of those who were backing the prime minister last night are desperate to talk about something other than his leadership. but i don't think the party is going to move on quite frankly because there are dozens of mps around this place today who are extremely angry and there are rebels who think the fight, although they may have lost last night, is far from fight, although they may have lost last night, is farfrom over, and they are looking towards what might happen in the future will give them an opportunity. two by—elections this month in the north of england and devon. if the tories were to lose both of them i think you would see more pressure on the prime minister. likewise, the privileges committee is to looking into partygate, still looking into whether the prime minister misled parliament to command some tory mps are saying that results could pile

even more pressure on the prime minister. so borisjohnson might talk about wanting to draw a line under this, talk about wanting to draw a line underthis, but talk about wanting to draw a line under this, but frankly i don't think that his whole party wants to do that. i think there is a considerable minority of mps who think it is impossible to move on and who think he is still a big part of the problem. and yet the mechanism, as we have been saying today, is quite tricky, because it means changing the rules of the 1922 committee to have another vote of confidence, orjunior ministers or cabinet ministers finally moving against borisjohnson. haste cabinet ministers finally moving against boris johnson.— cabinet ministers finally moving against boris johnson. we are not seeinu against boris johnson. we are not seeing any _ against boris johnson. we are not seeing any sign — against boris johnson. we are not seeing any sign of _ against boris johnson. we are not seeing any sign of that _ against boris johnson. we are not seeing any sign of that yet. i seeing any sign of that yet. not at this stage. the cabinet all still seems to be, publicly at least, on board. i've spoken to junior ministers who are really unhappy, saying that the prime minister needs to change and change quickly if he is going to try and turn things around, but there has not been a government revolt. in terms of the 1922 committee, the backbench committee we saw the vote

in last night, borisjohnson is protected from another confidence vote for 12 months under the current rules. those rules could be changed, there was lots of talk about that happening when theresa may was prime minister, it is possible that that talks could come back. i don't think it will be imminent, talking to sources on the committee they say we probably need a period of calm for the next few weeks at least but the rebels, the ones who want boris johnson out, are talking about exactly that, talking about putting pressure on sir graham brady, the chairman of the committee, to change those rules over the next weeks or months. it is worth remembering the process is all fine and well, the process is all fine and well, the process is all fine and well, the process is interesting, that the politics is also going to be really crucial, and whether the rebels can persuade more tory mps who backed the pm last night to change their mind. i've got to say, speaking to those rebels this morning they are not going to give up, they are still hoping that they can force boris johnson out. i suppose in some ways the question that the tory party

faces this afternoon is the one it faced last night. do they want boris johnson to lead them into the next general election? on that issue this afternoon the tory party is bitterly split. afternoon the tory party is bitterly slit. , ., afternoon the tory party is bitterly slit. ,~ , ,, afternoon the tory party is bitterly slit. ,, split. they are partly split because the can't split. they are partly split because they can't agree — split. they are partly split because they can't agree on _ split. they are partly split because they can't agree on an _ split. they are partly split because they can't agree on an success i split. they are partly split because j they can't agree on an success and we hear that a number of cabinet ministers and ex ministers are potentially names in the frame vying for that job. potentially names in the frame vying forthatjob. is potentially names in the frame vying for thatjob. is it likely any of those will come together and pose a bigger threat to the prime minister? if you look at one of the obvious front runner is likely to chuck their hats into the ring we have already seen some of them say pretty publicly that they think we need a change of leader, sirjeremy hunt, the former health secretary turned against the pm last night on twitter. tom tugendhat, another backbench tory mp, has made clear his displeasure at what is going on. there is a good chance both of them would stand. keep an eye on penny mordaunt, a junior minister,

would stand. keep an eye on penny mordaunt, ajunior minister, but would stand. keep an eye on penny mordaunt, a junior minister, but one who has quite a high profile and parts of her party is popular with mps and may well choose to stand if there is a leadership election. cabinet, though, that is where this is really going to make the difference. people like the foreign secretary liz truss. the chancellor may be even rishi sunak, maybe even the home secretary priti patel. no sign of any of them jumping ship at the moment. if any of that did happen it would be a big deal. qm. happen it would be a big deal. 0k, nick eardley. _ happen it would be a big deal. 0k, nick eardley, thank you. i'm joined by katy balls from the spectator. we talked about potential challenges to the prime minister. people have been watching and waiting to see whether anyone in the cabinet would move. are you hearing anything on that front? ., . ., , ., front? not particularly. speaking to mps today the _ front? not particularly. speaking to mps today the vote _ front? not particularly. speaking to mps today the vote last _ front? not particularly. speaking to mps today the vote last night i front? not particularly. speaking to mps today the vote last night was l mps today the vote last night was clearly bad for borisjohnson. yes, the prime minister and cabinet ministers will say that was a win publicly. but the margin was very

bad. it was worse than a lot of his team expected and it is a big dent to his authority. and so of course we are back to lots of leadership talk. however, ithink we are back to lots of leadership talk. however, i think there is still a sense amongst many cabinet ministers that now is not the time. because? ., ministers that now is not the time. because? . ., ., ,., , , because? there are a few reasons but there are more _ because? there are a few reasons but there are more problems _ because? there are a few reasons but there are more problems for- because? there are a few reasons but there are more problems for boris i there are more problems for boris johnson to come, the by—elections, if you lost both of them, and the privileges committee, and it all comes back to a saying which is, he who wields the sword doesn't get to wear the crown, and therefore i think there is particular reluctance from those in cabinet to really put their heads above the parapet until they have a clearer sense of the situation. , ., �* ., ., situation. they haven't found a stalkin: situation. they haven't found a stalking horse _ situation. they haven't found a stalking horse to _ situation. they haven't found a stalking horse to do _ situation. they haven't found a stalking horse to do it - situation. they haven't found a stalking horse to do it for i situation. they haven't found a i stalking horse to do it for them? we have stalking horse to do it for them? - have seenjeremy hunt not announcing plans to run for leader but dropped a few hints in the recent weeks partly while promoting his book, but he said he would vote against the prime minister. i thought that was an interesting lesson in the sense jeremy hunt, probably the most

seniorfigure potentially jeremy hunt, probably the most senior figure potentially running again for the leadership in the final two against borisjohnson, actually saying now is the time for change, i will vote against boris johnson. that has led to a backlash in and of itself and jeremy hunt i think had some colleagues yesterday saying it looks self—serving and so forth and i think that's partly why we're having a reluctance in the sense there are plenty of politicians who think they would like to be the next prime minister but i think they worry about being seen to be the person getting their hands dirty in that.— hands dirty in that. nadine dorries had a big pop _ hands dirty in that. nadine dorries had a big popjeremy _ hands dirty in that. nadine dorries had a big pop jeremy hunt. i hands dirty in that. nadine dorries had a big pop jeremy hunt. how. hands dirty in that. nadine dorries. had a big pop jeremy hunt. how did had a big popjeremy hunt. how did that go down? had a big pop jeremy hunt. how did that go down?— had a big pop jeremy hunt. how did that go down? very publicly, you no loner that go down? very publicly, you no longer need — that go down? very publicly, you no longer need to _ that go down? very publicly, you no longer need to find _ that go down? very publicly, you no longer need to find out _ that go down? very publicly, you no longer need to find out what - that go down? very publicly, you no longer need to find out what is i longer need to find out what is going on in the tory whatsapp groups because it tends to happen on twitter these days which is a sign of where things are. it also gave a glimpse of how bruising the tory leadership contest could be. also it could be very unpredictable because we don't have an obvious frontrunner. jeremy hunt is the bookies' favourite, or at least was

yesterday. when it comes to the membership ben wallace, the defence secretary, at the top of the home cabinet league table, the tory grassroots, but i think since rishi sunak�*s public fall from grace over his wife's non—dom tax status at the time, there has been a sense no one is quite sure which way this is going to go and that's another reason why i think there is a growing sense amongst tory mps that borisjohnson may not lead them into the next election, but there is still no sense as to who exactly is going to replace him and a reluctance to get to that point still. , , ., ._ , , reluctance to get to that point still. , , . ._ , , ., , still. liz truss always seen as somebody — still. liz truss always seen as somebody who _ still. liz truss always seen as somebody who would - still. liz truss always seen as somebody who would be i still. liz truss always seen as somebody who would be veryj somebody who would be very interested in leadership. could she at some pointjump, make the call? i think someone like liz truss will want to be loyal to borisjohnson because first off there are people such as liz truss who is probably the biggest win in the most recent cabinet reshuffle, promoted to a great office of state, but also i think you go back and if you look as though you are the person, no matter

what your motives are, talking more broadly, if you look as though the other person in bringing down the prime minister what happens to those mps, there are a decent number if you look at the vote, are loyal to borisjohnson? most of them were on the payroll. if boris johnson? most of them were on the -a roll. i. ., ,, boris johnson? most of them were on the -a roll. ,, . ,, ., the payroll. if you assume most of those on the _ the payroll. if you assume most of those on the payroll— the payroll. if you assume most of those on the payroll voted - the payroll. if you assume most of those on the payroll voted for- the payroll. if you assume most of those on the payroll voted for the | those on the payroll voted for the prime minister, that leaves you with three quarters of the backbenchers roughly voted against. there might be some give in that number. it’s be some give in that number. it's uuite be some give in that number. it's quite clear— be some give in that number. it�*s quite clear from the vote a large percentage of backbenchers are against borisjohnson. you also have to take what they said publicly with a pinch of salt and what it might do privately. i think there is still the sense that there could be resignations in the next few days, but speaking to lots of senior conservatives they see this more of it being trickier for borisjohnson to get to the end of the year, the autumn looks very difficult, but in terms of changing these rules i

don't think anybody expects it to happen in the next week or so so there is a period where boris johnson can try to regroup. i think there is scepticism in the sense it is much harder to do now. you have just flushed out a load of rebels who publicly said they don't have confidence in the leader. it is hard to bring those people back into the tent. i do think they will give him a bit of time to try and do that before people decide this is the point we need do something. what point we need do something. what ha--ens point we need do something. what ha - ens to point we need do something. what happens to those _ point we need do something. what happens to those rebels? will they support legislation the government is putting through? some of it is a bit contentious, isn't it? if boris johnson is still there, which is very possible, going to go to their constituencies in a year or two years time whenever an election happens and so put this man in downing street having publicly said they have no confidence in him? this is wh the they have no confidence in him? this is why the vote _ they have no confidence in him? try 3 is why the vote is so damaging to borisjohnson in the sense that if you have 40% of the party voting against you, yes, he still has a large majority, but as you say looking ahead to the next election,

can you have all those people as conservative candidates while boris johnson is leader? it creates problems and disunity in terms of your message. it is interesting today, i think we had one tory mp safe i voted against borisjohnson but i think given he won the vote we need to get on with things. i don't think that is where the majority of the rebels were. that think that is where the ma'ority of the rebels were.i the rebels were. that was philip davies. the rebels were. that was philip davies- and _ the rebels were. that was philip davies. and a _ the rebels were. that was philip davies. and a few _ the rebels were. that was philip davies. and a few tory - the rebels were. that was philip davies. and a few tory mps i the rebels were. that was philipj davies. and a few tory mps said let's ut davies. and a few tory mps said let's put this _ davies. and a few tory mps said let's put this behind _ davies. and a few tory mps said let's put this behind us - davies. and a few tory mps said let's put this behind us and i davies. and a few tory mps said | let's put this behind us and come together. it feels much harder to do than that and that is why there is a growing sense it is getting hard for borisjohnson to lead the party into the next election. haifa boris johnson to lead the party into the next election.— the next election. how do they try and brina the next election. how do they try and bring him _ the next election. how do they try and bring him down _ the next election. how do they try and bring him down and _ the next election. how do they try and bring him down and what i the next election. how do they try and bring him down and what is i the next election. how do they try i and bring him down and what is boris johnson doing to try and stop that? is he fearing jobs and money to constituencies with levelling up? there has been talk about a potential reshuffle this week and thatis potential reshuffle this week and that is possible but it is always worth remembering that reshuffles tend to be best for a leaderjust before they happen which is the point everybody thinks it will work very well for them, and when it actually happens and people find they have either lost theirjob or didn't get thejob they have either lost theirjob or didn't get the job they expected,

the mood can turn. looking at the figures that we saw last night in that vote, 148 mps voting against him, i think that's tricky to do a substantial reshuffle from because you risk exploiting, almost exacerbating some of the weakness by accepting people. technically of course he is safe, but there are lots of people who can cause problems in the party, as you say, not voting for things, resignations and so forth. so i think we could see a reshuffle of some sorts but i think anything too drastic would be quite difficult. you also have another factor which is there are lots of mps, some in government and some not, who are still loyal to borisjohnson and they look at some not, who are still loyal to boris johnson and they look at the vote yesterday and say there are some ministers who didn't publicly come out and say they would back you, they didn't say they would vote for you, are you really going to keep them in your government when you have the rest of us going around and actually defending you and we don't getjobs? whatever boris johnson does, he can try and move some people who haven't been loyal enoughin some people who haven't been loyal enough in the eyes of his team, but moving people who have been disloyal

very troubled party that he has to somehow try to manage and survive any coming challenges. back to you. geeta guru—murthy at westminster, thank you. more in the next hour. the founder of the banned neo—nazi group national action alex davies has been sentenced to eight and a half years in prison. he will spend at least two thirds of that in custody. let's talk to our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford. this was a significant sentence and the end to a significant run of cases involving members of this now banned organisation. pare cases involving members of this now banned organisation.— banned organisation. are very significant _ banned organisation. are very significant sentence. - banned organisation. are very significant sentence. eight - banned organisation. are very| significant sentence. eight and banned organisation. are very i significant sentence. eight and a half years is the longest sentence anyone has received for membership of national action. alex davies has now received the longest sentence of those who were banned. he admitted

he was the founder of national action. he said it was my idea and had given evidence at length before a jury in winchester crown court trying to explain his nazi beliefs but also trying to deny he had been involved in continuing the group after it had been banned. the prosecution though came back and produced evidence that he had gone on meeting other members of national action, that he had organised what were effectively fight training camps with boxing and knife fighting after the ban and the prosecution made the case this was all signs of his continuation of the group after it was banned and the jury decided at the trial at winchester crown court that was the case. he came here today for sentencing before judge mark dennis qc said to him, "you are an educated young man yet you have held over many years warped and shocking prejudices and beliefs which you would appear to retain to

this day." the jail that appeared to descend on the court room when you explained how you have put into practice your views and deal with those will no doubt linger for a while longer in the memory of those that heard what you had to say and were shocked by it." that was a reference to alex davies' evidence before the jury which he described as neo—nazi views. these are views, mark dennis said, which you sought to find ways to continue its aims and objectives of the organisation that you founded. and he sentenced him to eight and a half years in prison. underthe him to eight and a half years in prison. under the new rules, alex davies won't even be considered for parole for two thirds of that, so that's five years and eight months, and after that he could serve the rest of his sentence on licence if the parole board agrees to freedom. daniel sandford at the old bailey, thank you very much.

now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello there. many parts of the country will continue to see some sunshine through the rest of the day. we are going to find temperatures a bit higher than they were yesterday so it feels a bit warm out there. one or two showers will break out as well. those will ease away during this evening. still a bit cloudy and damp across southern counties of england as well. but towards the south west into wales and northern ireland we will see some rain pushing on here before midnight — that rain band moves up to the south—west of scotland and sweeps into eastern parts of england. to the south—west of scotland and sweeps into eastern parts of england. quite a warm night tonight, temperatures typically 13 or iii degrees. a bit cooler ahead of that rain in northern parts of scotland and here it may stay dry on wednesday. that rain first thing in eastern england moves away across england and wales. we will see sunshine and showers. blustery winds in the south. one or two heavy showers still around in the afternoon for eastern areas as showers become fewer in wales and the south—west.

we could see a bit of rain threatening northern ireland in the afternoon and that rain is moving very slowly northwards across scotland. temperatures tomorrow very similar to what we have seen today. goodbye. it is 26 minutes to three. you are watching bbc news with shaun ley. the headlines... borisjohnson tells his cabinet he is drawing a line under questions about his leadership — after winning last night's vote of confidence. we are able to draw a line and get on with what i think the people of this country want us to talk about which is what we are doing to help them. �* . , ~ , which is what we are doing to help them. �* ._ ~ , which is what we are doing to help them. ._ ~ , ., them. but many mps say it is not ossible them. but many mps say it is not possible to _ them. but many mps say it is not possible to draw _ them. but many mps say it is not possible to draw a _ them. but many mps say it is not possible to draw a line. _ them. but many mps say it is not possible to draw a line. these - them. but many mps say it is not| possible to draw a line. these are far from normal—

because the former world number one, dustinjohnson — a two—time major champion — has announced that he's resigned from the sport's premier competition, the pga tour. he's done so to allow himself to play in the new saudi—backed liv golf series, which starts this week. it also means he'll be ineligible to play in the ryder cup from now on. johnson's comitted to play in all eight of the events in the new series, starting at the centurion club, in st albans, on thursday. he'll reportedly $150 million for taking part, and says the decision was for him and his family. i resigned my membership from the tar and i'm i resigned my membership from the tarand i'm going i resigned my membership from the tar and i'm going to play here for now, and that is the plan. what the consequences are going to be, i cannot comment on how the tourists will handle. ~ ., , ., cannot comment on how the tourists will handle-— will handle. with regards to ma'ors? auain, i will handle. with regards to ma'ors? again. i am — will handle. with regards to ma'ors? again, i can't answer * will handle. with regards to ma'ors? again, i can't answer for i will handle. with regards to ma'ors? again, i can't answer for the h will handle. with regards to majors? again, i can't answer for the majors | again, i can't answerfor the majors but hopefully they will allow us to play. obviously i'm exempt for the majors so i plan on playing there unless i hear otherwise. it majors so i plan on playing there unless i hear otherwise.- unless i hear otherwise. it feels like a very _

seven england fans have been arrested in munich ahead of their team's nations league match against germany tonight. more than ii,500 fans are expected to be in the city for the game. it's the first time england have been accompanied by a significant away following since the start of the coronavirus pandemic — and mark roberts, who's the national football policing lead, says: the small minority of fans were dealt with accordingly. we the small minority of fans were dealt with accordingly.- the small minority of fans were dealt with accordingly. we have had some people _ dealt with accordingly. we have had some people who — dealt with accordingly. we have had some people who have _ dealt with accordingly. we have had some people who have been - dealt with accordingly. we have had some people who have been trying | dealt with accordingly. we have had i some people who have been trying to antagonise the police with nazi salutes and so on. clearly a really sensitive subject here so they have been arrested. so some unpleasant stuff but nothing trying to create violence and sadly it's all really driven through alcohol. often seeing football when people don't behave well, it's because they have drunk on to excess. and manchester city defender alex greenwood has tested positive for covid and has returned home from the england women's training camp. england say she'll be monitored regularly with a view

to returning as soon as possible. sarina wiegman's side begin a series of friendly matches next week in the build—up to the home european championships that start in july. that's all the sport for now. president zelensky of ukraine has warned that his troops in the eastern city of severodonetsk are outnumbered by stronger russian forces. he said street fighting and constant russian artillery bombardments there — and in neighbouring lysychansk — had turned both areas into what he called "dead cities". it comes as russia's ambassador to the united nations walked out of a meeting of the security council after the eu's charles michel blamed the invasion of ukraine for causing a globalfood crisis. our correspondentjoe inwood has this report from kyiv. jelena has been left with her life, but little else. "don't walk there, the roof could fall," her rescuer says. the 81—year—old's house was hit in a suspected russian missile artillery strike.

translation: you see | yourself what happened. what else can i say? i have been left homeless in my old age. she lives in the village of druzhkivka, just under 50 miles from the cities of lysychansk and severodonetsk, the current focus of russia's forces. and this is what could await her town if the russian invasion continues. under almost constant bombardment, president zelensky says they have been left as dead cities. translation: when you drive across lysychansk, there - is a feeling that there is no one there. there are no people on the streets except for our military. and this is what people have fled. footage released by the russians shows their artillery in action. explosions. they are pounding this region and its ukrainian defenders, who the british ministry of defence

say they are trying to cut off. but it is notjust on the front lines that the consequences of this war are being felt. there is a globalfood crisis being caused by the blockade of ukraine's ports. an intense session of the united nations, the eu representative held nothing back. let's be honest. the kremlin is using food supplies as a stealth missile against developing countries. the dramatic consequences of russia's war are spilling over across the globe, and this is driving up food prices, pushing people into poverty and destabilising entire regions. and russia is solely responsible for this food crisis. now, that's something they deny. indeed, the kremlin says it is the west that is causing the food crisis because their continued support for ukraine is prolonging this conflict.

but for people in places like druzhkivka, this is a war for their very survival, a conflict that is now being felt around the world. joe inwood, bbc news, kyiv. the mother of the music entrepreneur, jamal edwards, has said her son died from cardiac arrhythmia after taking recreational drugs. 31—year old jamal edwards, who helped launch the careers of dave and ed sheeran, died in february. his mother, brenda, said she was in "a state of shock". let's get more on this from our correspondent, colin paterson. we obviously knew about the death, we didn't know about the circumstances and it sounds like it came as a genuine shock to his mum who was with him as he died about the cause of his sudden problems with breathing and his heart rate. that is correct. jamal edwards was at his mother's house in acton in

london and she was holding his hand when he died in february. today brenda edwards who people will know as a presenter on songs of praise and a panellist on loose women, she issued a lengthy statementjust after nine o'clock in the morning, and in this statement she said it is that she had last spoken in public she received the news the reason her son had died was because of a cardiac arrhythmia brought about because of him using recreational drugs. where she got this information from we are not clear yet, but today there was an inquest into the death of jamal edwards which was adjourned, and it was a very short hearing this morning. it simply had a coroner saying that postmortem had taken place and they had reason to believe that the death was on natural, but it did not go into the depths and details that brenda edwards has talked about in the statement. that inquest has been adjourned and will reopen in eight

as well, so we've got to keep that in mind. we've now resorted to selling two coaches to try to alleviate some of the costs already, as a last resort. it's gutting. generally, inflation in the uk — the rate at which prices are rising — is running at a ito—year high of 9%. haulage businesses like this one say the rising cost of transporting goods means having to charge their customers more. if it stays at this rate, i will be paying £20,000 per year extra, per vehicle. by passing on these costs to customers, which operators absolutely have to do to stay in business, what we are going to see is the price of goods in the shops increasing. petrol and diesel prices stabilised after the government cut 5p from fuel duty at the spring statement in march, but they have since gone up again. why are prices at the pumps so high now? the price of oil has gone up,

there is more demand for oil now, we are coming out of lockdown, we have gone into the summer driving season. the exchange rate is also weak, fuel is traded in dollars and the pound is now only worth 1.2 dollars, which does not buy as much fuel on the wholesale market. it is all combining to be a very bad recipe for drivers at the pumps, and we could well see £2 for a litre in the next few weeks. motoring groups want further government intervention to ease the hit to drivers' wallets. katy austin, bbc news. the latest retail figures show shoppers are spending less than they were a year ago. the british retail consortium says sales in store and online fell for the second month in a row in may. total retail sales in may declined by 1.1% compared to may 2021.

the number of fines issued to parents in england for poor school attendance has started to rise again. a bbc investigation found fines totalling 3.7 million pounds have been given out to parents in the current academic year to easter. they're issued in attempts to improve a child's attendance. the gradual increase in penalties reflects a growing concern about children missing from education. our education editor branwen jeffreys reports 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 miss 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 worse i

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] 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 to fine 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. as qatar prepares to host the world cup this november, a bbc news arabic investigation has

uncovered allegations that the gulf state is under—reporting the number of migrant workers who have died of heat stroke. the gulf is heating up at twice the global average rate. there are over 1a million migrant workers in the region — most from asia and africa. one migrant worker who complained about labour laws being broken was jailed. nawal al maghafi reports. translation: we talked every day. he was always sweating when we video chatted. the heat made his nose bleed. sita's husband dhan left nepal to work in the gulf in 2015. first in saudi arabia, then qatar. but dhan never came home to his family. in qatar, his friends found him writhing in pain and rushed him to hospital, where he was pronounced dead from cardiac arrest. translation: he came back in a box. a white tin.

translation: it doesn't add up. i in the days leading up to dhan'si death, it was 40 celsius or more. a migrant worker who works continually to the point - of exhaustion in 40 degrees celsius or more has a high— chance of sudden death. in the last 15 years, more than 2,000 nepali workers have died in qatar alone. a recent study found that of 571 deaths over eight years due to cardiac arrest, up to 200 were probably caused by heat stress, which is preventable. mohammed al—obaidly works for the qatari department of labour, which is responsible for migrant workers. translation: work during the summer is completely forbidden. _ i must emphasise this. ifjust one worker dies, it is a big problem for us, whether it is one or 1000.

he said any company making people work outside in the middle of the day could be sanctioned and compensation paid. but raising concerns can be dangerous, as a kenyan called malcolm found out. he guarded buildings owned by the qatar foundation, a charity linked to the qatar royal family. i wrote an article describing what happened. you know, just the reality of what we go through, like, on a day—to—day. my company gave me up, they handed me over to the authorities, they thought that i was working with, you know, foreign agents to spread disinformation and spoil the name of qatar and all that. for the first two weeks, i had no contact with anyone, i was blindfolded, you know, all those things, handcuffed. after a month in solitary confinement and a $6,800 fine, malcolm is now back home in kenya. a qatar foundation spokesperson said their contractors must comply with qatar's laws. they must assess heat risk, provide cold water, shade,

and breaks, and are fined if found in breach. we asked the qatar government about malcolm's case and the allegation they were underreporting heat deaths. they did not respond. with the football world cup coming up this year in qatar, all eyes will be on them to see how workers are kept safe in this ever increasing heat. proposals that would have involved chopping down dozens of trees around the eiffel tower have been scrapped as part of a 72 million euros scheme to create a huge garden for the 2024 olympic games. cutting down trees to create a garden, funny that! wendy urquhart reports.

the plan was to pedestrianise the area around the eiffel tower and introduce new paths, cycle routes, a ticket office, toilets, souvenir shops and food and stalls. but when parisians found out it would mean chopping down 42 trees and threatened the roots of a plane tree planted by napoleon, they launched a petition. it was signed by more than 140,000 people. but thomas brail, who founded the national group for the surveillance of trees, decided to take the protest one step further. he's now camped up a 208—year—old plane tree near the eiffel tower. initially, the authorities try to bargain with the protesters by offering to chop down fewer trees, or decide the fate of each tree individually. brail argued that they provide shelter for birds, bats and insects, and should be protected at all costs. on saturday, he went on hunger strike to drive home his objection to the government's plans. and it worked. the plan has been scrapped, but brail�*s not budging until he has an ironclad guarantee that the trees will be protected. wendy urquhart, bbc news.

the duke and duchess of sussex have shared a photo of their daughter lilibet to mark her first birthday. the picture was taken over the weekend when the family were in the uk for the platinum jubilee celebrations. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello there. it's still a bit of a mixed bag for us today. many parts of the country, though, will be seeing some warm sunshine coming through. later in the day, we're going to start to see this weather front arriving in the southwest and that will push rain northwards and eastwards this evening and overnight. and if that's still a bit cloudy and damp across some of these more southern counties of england with some sunshine elsewhere, we're going to find one or two showers popping off. but on the whole, temperatures are a little bit higher than they were yesterday. heading into this evening, we'll see those showers soon fading away. but then we've got this rain coming into wales, in the southwest, northern ireland, that band of rain sweeps its way towards eastern parts of england and up into the southwest of scotland.

pretty mild overnight temperatures for many places, 13, 14 degrees, a little bit cooler ahead of that rain across some northern parts of scotland. and here it may well stay dry during wednesday because that rain sort of grinds to a halt across the central belt. the rain bands some moves away from eastern parts of england. then we'll see some sunshine and some showers. blustery winds across southern parts of england, one or two thunderstorms possible in eastern england as the showers become fewer in wales and the south west, maybe a bit of cloud and rain threatening northern ireland during the afternoon. temperatures on the whole fairly similar to what we're seeing today. now, let me take you the other side of the atlantic. this area of cloud here is ex—tropical storm alex and that gave a lot of flooding rains across florida and the bahamas over the weekend. and that deep area of low pressure is tracking towards the uk. on that weather front there, this is where we'll see some rain. there won't be much rain at all. mind you, it eventually sneaks into wales, the south west and northern ireland. ahead of that, maybe one or two showers, but the winds are going to be light. when the sunshine develops a little more widely, it'll feel quite warm once again with temperatures peaking at 21 celsius.

now, recent models have tracked that area of low pressure, the ex—tropical storm further away from the uk. so the winds are not looking quite as strong now. it'll be a breezy day. and we're going to draw in south—westerly winds that will bring with it some warmer air as well. strongest winds, they're going to be towards the northwest of the uk. and this is where we're going to find some fairly frequent, perhaps heavy showers as well. still got that weather front in the south east, not bringing much rain. it does move away and then we'll see some sunshine developing more widely. that's going to give the temperatures a boost. it is warmer air. so we're looking at highs in eastern parts as high as 23 celsius.

ley this is bbc news — i'm shaun ley — the headlines at 3pm: borisjohnson tells his cabinet he is "drawing a line" under questions about his leadership — after winning last night's vote of confidence. 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 of this country want us to talk about, which is what we are doing to help them. the 148 mp5 the 148 mps who voted against his leadership last night say it was not over. this was an inconclusive result from one respect, not a defeat but not win that allows us to draw a line. in normal times this would result probably in a resignation.

but these are far from normal times. i'm geeta guru—murthy live at westminster — where we'll be bringing you the latest reaction to the vote. in other news, a man who remained a member of the neo—nazi group national action — after it was banned six years ago — has beenjailed for eight and a half years. the mother of music entrepreneur and youtube star jamal edwards says her son died from cardiac arrhythmia after taking recreational drugs. motoring groups call for government intervention to ease rising fuel prices — as the rac says it now costs £98 to fill the average car with petrol. hello and welcome.

borisjohnson has told the cabinet the government should now — in his words — �*draw a line under the issues their opponents want to talk about�* — following last night's vote of confidence in his leadership. he survived despite a significant rebellion. let'sjoin my colleague geeta guru murthy in college green. it is an extraordinary day, a lovely sunny day in westminster. people have gone fairly quiet but we are trying to tease some voices on air for you in the coming hours. we have been getting reaction and it is, as you'd expect, mixed. borisjohnson's support is very much wanting to move on, some saddened by the internal public divisions in the conservative party but the rebels clearly not willing to give up yet. let's get the latest from damian grammaticas. today, time for a downing street clean—up operation. if a prime minister has nine lives, how many does the current one have left? yesterday, his loyal supporters said a win by one vote would be enough. he won comfortably and now

he is getting on with business. cabinet this morning, there is a lot to be done. but it was a good result for the prime minister, he won. and he won by more than the one i said was enough. reporter: how wounded is the prime minister? - but the cabinet gathering today know that last night's result for the prime minister was worse than almost anyone had expected. previous tory leaders theresa may and john major all got bigger shares of their mps to back them. reporter: can the prime minister survive? - those leaders were left wounded. so what about this one? thank you, by the way, everybody, for all 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 can get on with talking about what i think the people in this country want us to talk about, which is what we are doing to help them and take the country forward. boris johnson's backers want to move on, but four in ten of his mps do not believe he is the right man for thejob, and some

round the cabinet table could one day be possible alternatives. last night, the scale of the discontent in the tory party was laid bare. mrjohnson's critics do not have a leader or even an organised campaign. thejohnson camp have described them as disparate and disgruntled, but they number almost 150 mp5. the vote in favour of having confidence in borisjohnson as the leader was 211 votes. the vote against was 148 votes. this was an inconclusive result, in one respect, not a defeat, but not a win that allows us to draw a line. in normal times, this would result probably in a resignation, but it is far from normal times. mrjohnson's critics come from all wings of the party. andrea leadsom, a brexit supporter, said last week that there had been significant failures of leadership. today, she said mrjohnson's win was comprehensive. today is another day, we move on. i know the prime minister will want to focus absolutely on the priorities of the country.

reporter: he is the right man to lead the party - into the next election? that's it, thanks. not answering if mrjohnson was the right leaderfor the party. this is catastrophic for the prime minister, but what is more important is the overwhelming public opinion that borisjohnson broke the rules and should not be prime minister. but this prime minister thinks he doesn't have to follow the rules and that he willjust keep carrying on. he doesn't put anyone forward first, including the country, he always thinks of himself. more problems loom. two tricky by—elections, parliament investigating whether he lied to it, and an economy maybe heading for recession. issues to test even the most secure leader. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. interesting to see those images of the cabinet earlier today. all eyes were on the cabinet, even junior ministers, with people wondering whether any of them would resign and therefore try and further trigger a challenge to the prime minister.

that hasn't happened, we have seen a display of unity, including from liz truss, the foreign secretary, who was asked whether the vote had undermined borisjohnson's undermined boris johnson's authority. what we saw in yesterday's vote was a clear majority in support of the prime minister. what we have been doing today is getting on with the business of government. we have had a cabinet meeting, we are working on making housing more affordable, making childcare more affordable, lowering taxes, and that's what the public want us to be doing. on the prime minister's authority, going back to that first question, has it been undermined? as i've said, the prime minister remains committed to our agenda. he has already delivered on brexit, he has delivered on covid, on helping the economy recover, he's delivered on supporting ukraine in the face of appalling russian aggression, and that's what the cabinet want him to carry on doing and that's what the country want him to carry on doing. so what is your message to those 148 of your colleagues who declared they had no confidence

in the party leader? my message is we had a vote yesterday, it was a clear result in that vote, now is the time to get behind the prime minister to deliver on what people in britain want to see, which is dealing with issues around the affordability of housing, the affordability of childcare, getting taxes down, getting our economy going, that's what people want to see. what does this mean with regard to your ambitions potentially for the leadership of the party? my 100% focus is on my role as foreign secretary. there is a lot to do. we need to carry on supporting ukraine. we need to make sure that russia is driven out of ukraine and that we get successful peace for ukraine. we need to help them rebuild. i'm also working on the northern ireland protocol, making sure we restore the balance in the belfast good friday agreement, bringing forward legislation, and i can assure you that is taking up all of my time. should colleagues feel able to continue to criticise the prime minister? well, we had a vote yesterday, the prime minister won a clear

majority, it is time to draw a line, move forward and focus on what people want us to be talking about, housing, childcare, delivering on lower taxes. you mentioned the northern ireland protocol. are you willing to risk a trade war with the european union to sort it all out? what we want to do is create clear green lanes for goods flowing into northern ireland and a red lane for goods flowing into the eu. that will protect the eu's single market at the same time as enabling goods to flow freely around the uk. that is a win—win for both the people of northern ireland and protecting the eu single market. you also mentioned bringing taxes down. lord frost today has said that the national insurance increase should be reversed, that the corporation tax rise shouldn't go ahead. do you agree? today at cabinet the prime minister confirmed that he wants to see taxes come down. that is very important, and we need to make sure people have

more money in their pockets, we need to get the economy going, and the way to do that is lowering taxes. liz truss there, the foreign secretary. let's cross to the houses of parliament now and our political correspondent nick eardley. nick, all day we have been trying to work out what the mood of the conservative party is now. are we going to see any further move against borisjohnson, or are they going to go quiet for a little while? ~ ., ., ~' going to go quiet for a little while? ~ ., ., ,, ., �* ,, while? well look, i don't think boris johnson _ while? well look, i don't think boris johnson can _ while? well look, i don't think boris johnson can assume - while? well look, i don't think boris johnson can assume he. while? well look, i don't think| boris johnson can assume he is while? well look, i don't think- boris johnson can assume he is safe. borisjohnson can assume he is safe. i don't think he can assume that that normal year—long period that you get where you are protected from another confidence vote will definitely happen because amongst all the rebels who i've been speaking to all day, there is definitely a feeling that they may have lost the battle but they don't think they have lost the war. they are determined to try and force another vote at some point. they are already talking about trying to

change the rules about how often a confidence vote can be held. they are already talking about how they win over more mp5. i was speaking to one senior rebel who said earlier if we can persuade 30 people who backed the pm last night to come over to our side then they would be able to bring him down, and they are looking towards those potential crisis points in the next few months for that to happen, so the two by—elections on the 23rd ofjune. if as some tories fear they lose both of those votes that could be another crisis point. there is then the privileges committee and here which is looking at whether borisjohnson misled parliament, if that comes up with new damning evidence, or potentially finds that the pm lied to mp5, then that will put even more pressure on borisjohnson. so at the moment the pm is saying, look, draw a line under this, we need to move on. there are dozens in his party, though, who are not prepared to do

that and i think that means the one thing we can be sure of is their psychodrama around borisjohnson's position is going to run and run and run. he is not out of the woods yet. how, in effect, do the rebels either turf him out or try and make life difficult? will they block legislation? will they try and bring about that vote imminently? because borisjohnson has a substantial majority. will the rebels be accused at the end of the day of damaging their own party? i at the end of the day of damaging their own party?— at the end of the day of damaging their own party? i think it depends what they do. _ their own party? i think it depends what they do, is _ their own party? i think it depends what they do, is the _ their own party? i think it depends what they do, is the honest - their own party? i think it depends. what they do, is the honest answer. on the rule change, as i say, there are conversations among the rebels about how they can force a rule change to allow another leadership challenge at some point. remember that that was very close to happening and theresa may. she resigned before it was enacted but there is precedent for this. it is not impossible it will happen, not in the next few days but in a few weeks or a few months' time. in

terms of what the rebels do in the meantime, we have had quite a few saying we aren't going to try and stop the government do the stuff we think is important, but it means borisjohnson has to look over his shoulder now when he is doing some of the more contentious things that he has to do. i was speaking to one former cabinet minister who is on the centre of the conservative party who said to me a couple of hours ago, we need to cut all the culture war is nonsense. he is one of those people who would argue that the party needs to think more about how it unites the uk, may be by dropping plans to privatise channel 4. then you have no legislation on the northern ireland protocol which would allow ministers in london to override the brexit deal. some tory mps feel a bit squeamish about that. i think one thing that this is done, the whole furore this week, has done to boris johnson's the whole furore this week, has done to borisjohnson's leadership is it has meant that he can't be sure of the support of mps that he might have been before that vote last night, so it leaves him in a tricky

position, it leaves him vulnerable, it leaves him damaged and leaves him wondering what exactly is prime minister he can do. in terms of what definitely happens next, a few minutes ago i was chatting to a labour veteran who said, i can't predict it, frankly. the usual rules of politics have gone out the window in this place in the last few years. it is impossible to tell, because a year ago borisjohnson was on the up and winning over voters for the first time at by—elections. now it looks like he's pretty close to rock bottom. so although some tory rebels think they still have a chance of bringing him down, there is nobody on here who knows for sure what the next chapter holds.— next chapter holds. fascinating. thank you _ next chapter holds. fascinating. thank you for— next chapter holds. fascinating. thank you for now. _ joining me now is award winning political documentary maker, michael cockerell who has made documentaries on parliament and the constitution. thank you forjoining us. what do you make of the predicament boris johnson is in? what do you think he

will be thinking today? and is he concerned about his wider political mission? obviously he has delivered brexit. or is he more concerned with just staying in this rather marvellous top job that he is in? borisjohnson is wanted to be prime minister really from when he was a young man, when he was a kid, he told his sister rachel that he wanted to be world king, but by the time he was ten he had lowered his sights and wanted to be british prime minister and has wanted to be british prime minister all of his life until he became prime minister. that is one of the things about boris. his earlier life when he was at oxford and then sacked from the times for making up a quote, and all the things we have seen since then, shows that he has one mode of

transport they prefers most, and that's the seat of his pants. and yet again he is flying by the seat of his pants. but that's the way he likes it. , ., likes it. the strength and the charisma has _ likes it. the strength and the charisma has got _ likes it. the strength and the charisma has got him - likes it. the strength and the charisma has got him this - likes it. the strength and the | charisma has got him this far. likes it. the strength and the - charisma has got him this far. the flip side of those characteristics has also now proved extremely damaging. how does he react when he is in a really difficult position? he has never thought that the rules apply to him. when he was at school his housemaster said that he thinks it's rather churlish of us not to recognise that he is a special creature to whom the rules do not apply, and it has gone on like that. so what he does normally when he's in trouble, he either tells a story

and gives the journalist a good quote which gets them off the track, for instance when he was going to be sacked by michael howard for lying about a love affair he was having, he said to the journalist who had evidence of this love affair, it is an inverted pyramid of piffle, and that's one of the ways. the other way is to as he said last night, i'm going to bash on and he will go on bashing on. i going to bash on and he will go on bashing om— going to bash on and he will go on bashin: on. . i. ., , bashing on. i gather you have played tennis and cricket _ bashing on. i gather you have played tennis and cricket with _ bashing on. i gather you have played tennis and cricket with him. - bashing on. i gather you have played tennis and cricket with him. i - bashing on. i gather you have played tennis and cricket with him. i don't i tennis and cricket with him. i don't know how his sporting prowess is, but again, what do you see of his character in those scenarios? i think you do learn a lot about people's character in competitive sport. he is the most competitive person i have ever played cricket and tennis with and against. on the tennis court he is like a gorilla.

he goes, "it's mine!" and jumps up in the airand he goes, "it's mine!" and jumps up in the air and smashes the ball at you. i was playing doubles at one stage with him when we were filming for the film i made about him and he said to me afterwards," you were at the net and i kept hitting it to try and knock your head off and you kept getting it back. and if i'm not careful, you might edit that film to make it look as if you are better at tennis than me." i said, "perish the thought, boris!" tennis than me." i said, "perish the thought. boris!"— thought, boris!" obviously politics is not a thought, boris!" obviously politics is rrot a game. _ thought, boris!" obviously politics is not a game, he's _ thought, boris!" obviously politics is not a game, he's been - thought, boris!" obviously politics is not a game, he's been in - thought, boris!" obviously politicsj is not a game, he's been in charge during a pandemic, people have said that thousands of people have died who perhaps didn't need to because of misjudgments on his watch. his dishonesty, claimed by his critics, is why partly he is in this very perilous moment. having got thejob that he perhaps always wanted, are you surprised to see him making so

many mistakes and potentially risk holding onto it? it is many mistakes and potentially risk holding onto it?— holding onto it? it is interesting because he _ holding onto it? it is interesting because he got _ holding onto it? it is interesting because he got the _ holding onto it? it is interesting because he got the job, - holding onto it? it is interesting because he got the job, no - holding onto it? it is interesting | because he got the job, no way, holding onto it? it is interesting i because he got the job, no way, as because he got thejob, no way, as you say, with extraordinary charisma, and filming with boris johnson has been, until recently, he would never get booed, people of all classes would come up and say, good on you, lad, and let me have a selfie, bozza. i'm a celebrity, get me into number10, selfie, bozza. i'm a celebrity, get me into number 10, was his way of getting into number 10. me into number 10, was his way of getting into number10. but me into number 10, was his way of getting into number 10. but he facing real problems. even the daily telegraph this morning said that is the torygraph saying that.

very much longer. which is regretful, but let's hope someone else in the conservatives will come forth and be perhaps a better leader than he is. how happy are you with last night's result? quite pleased, in a way. i do vote tory, and ijust think he is the best person for the job. i cannot see anybody else who has got the nerve and whatever else to do the job. this has been a conservative seat for decades, but opposition parties are hoping to change that in the by—election later this month. some voters here feel the pressure is on for the prime minister to go. i do not think boris will survive until the end of the year. i hope he doesn't. he doesn't deserve to be in office. regardless of his policies, his behaviour alone is enough to disbar him from being there. this market trader feels the writing is on the wall

for borisjohnson. his supporters will say though there has been a vote, he won and it is time to move on? they are a bit deluded, they are hanging on. as an outside observer, you can see it is not a good look. the usual? absolutely. out on the high street, the feeling in this barbers is that this is not the right time for the conservative party to cut their losses and remove the prime minister. i think he should stay. some people feel, particularly around partygate, the parties during lockdown, that was unacceptable. i think he has done more than enough. i think he works hard, and he is doing what he can. i don't know why... maybe they don't like him. i don't think labour would have done any better with the pandemic that happened. he got us through that, and, yeah, he may have made a mistake, we all make mistakes in life. so i think he should stay. for now, the conservative party

in westminster has made its decision on the prime minister. the by—election result here could give an indication of what direction ordinary voters want the country's leadership to go in. jenny kumah, bbc news. there is also a by—election in wakefield on the same day. earlier i spoke to our reporter nick garnett, who's in wakefield in northern england, where a by—election will be held later this month. the election was sparked when the former conservative mp imran ahmad khan resigned, after he was convicted of sexually assaulting a 15—year—old boy. there is a by—election coming on the 23rd, just a few days away. what is interesting is people seem to have their opinions of mrjohnson but they have not changed overnight. there has been no groundswell of opinion which has changed. people seem to be stuck in their views and nobody is switching allegiances. i think he's a very clever man but i think he is a fool, a clever fool.

but on looking at the wider picture i would vote for him again because of the lack of anybody to stand in his— intellectual quality. i don't really trust i him but what is the alternative? not worth thinking about, actually, and i shall- definitely be voting| conservative again. i'm thinking he was supposed to follow his own rules. if you don't follow your own rules, how are you going to teach society? that is my opinion. with the vote of no confidence yesterday i was kind of excited to hear if there was a new pm, perhaps, but obviously, yeah, i don't think i fully really have a massive liking to him, but at the _ same time i'm not totally against him either. so, people not really changing their minds or changing their opinions. i spoke to a chap call keith hancock and he said mr johnson has got a very unfair press

over the years, everything stacked against him, saying since he came into power, and now his own team is at him and if they win we will be left with keir starmer. that was an interesting point, he was saying he simply didn't trust the alternatives to mrjohnson, either within the conservative party, or indeed elsewhere as well on a great scale. can you remind us why we're this by—election? they are having a by—election because the mp who was sitting here, this is a constituency that had been labour for many years, probably since the dinosaurs ruled the world! but it changed at the last election by a wafer thin majority. the incumbent mp imran khan was convicted of a sex offence and was sent to prison. he is appealing that sentence at the moment but because of parliamentary rules

he is not allowed to stand at the moment and so the election has been called. nick election has been called. garnett in wakefield. speaking to sarah montague on bbc radio 4's the world at one this afternoon, former brexit minister lord frost, was asked if he thought borisjohnson won the vote by enough to allow him to govern. both sides need to respect the result. the prime minister's opponents have got to respect the fact that he won and his supporters and the think have got to accept that a change of policy is needed, that the vote last night, when nearly 150 of your own mps vote against you, it is a sign of the big problem and i think the big problem is that we are delivering a ring and economic policy that will not deliver prosperity and wealth, and if we can change that, if he can change that, then he can get onto a different path and save the premiership and the government. i’m path and save the premiership and the government.— path and save the premiership and the government. i'm going to come back to that, _ the government. i'm going to come back to that, but _ the government. i'm going to come back to that, but i _ the government. i'm going to come back to that, but i want _ the government. i'm going to come back to that, but i want to - the government. i'm going to come back to that, but i want to briefly i back to that, but i want to briefly deal with the northern ireland

protocol, because we expect the publication within days. we have already had ireland's foreign minister simon coveney saying he is concerned that the vote last night may lead to borisjohnson and hardening his position on the protocol to shore up his position in the party. do you think that's possible? i the party. do you think that's ossible? ~ the party. do you think that's possible?— the party. do you think that's ossible? ~ ., ., possible? i think the position that has been sent _ possible? i think the position that has been sent out _ possible? i think the position that has been sent out by _ possible? i think the position that has been sent out by the - possible? i think the position that - has been sent out by the government in the last few weeks is not going to change. i think overseas observers are often not very shrewd in reading uk politics, to be honest. i think the government is now on the right path where the eu has refused to negotiate again and again on this question. we have put down compromises, they won't talk about them, we are now seeing the good friday agreement and the institutions being seriously undermined, and i don't think the government has any real option. the best thing the irish government could do would be to recognise that reality as well and work with the eu

to get a negotiated solution. so whenjessie norman said in his letter yesterday that breaching the protocol would be economically damaging, politically foolhardy and almost certainly illegal, how do you respond to that? $5 almost certainly illegal, how do you respond to that? am almost certainly illegal, how do you respond to that?— almost certainly illegal, how do you respond to that? as i understand it, the government's _ respond to that? as i understand it, the government's legal— respond to that? as i understand it, the government's legal advice - respond to that? as i understand it, the government's legal advice is - the government's legal advice is that this bill will not be a breach of the protocol, that there is a higher duty to keep in place the good friday grief and. i would have thought that everybody in the conservative party which is the party of the nation and party of this country ought to come behind and support that. lord this country ought to come behind and support that.— and support that. lord frost speaking — and support that. lord frost speaking to _ and support that. lord frost speaking to sarah _ and support that. lord frostj speaking to sarah montague and support that. lord frost - speaking to sarah montague earlier today. i'mjoined by speaking to sarah montague earlier today. i'm joined by michael fabricant, conservative mp and johnson supporter. thank you for joining us. the conservative supporting newspapers even today are very critical, borisjohnson has survived, he won the vote but descriptions like a lame duck prime minister, dead man walking, fatally wounded, he is toast, people assuming that it is a matter of when not if he goes before an election.

by—elections coming of the privileges committee coming, as you know, if you have potentially three quarters of the backbench votes against you, that's really difficult for him to govern and keep the party united, isn't it? don't you just need a change and a clean start? saying he is fighting i would say the past tense, he thought, he thought, he won the battle last night, providing he doesn't create a vacuum, providing he does bring in policy initiatives which are attractive to people, don't interrupt, i can see your lips were moving. interrupt, i can see your lips were movinu. interrupt, i can see your lips were moving. ok. providing he fills this u . moving. ok. providing he fills this u- with moving. 0k. providing he fills this up with exciting policies, then actually i'm convinced we can move on from here, but it's up to boris and it's up to the cabinet ministers to actually be dynamic on this. how lona do to actually be dynamic on this. how long do you — to actually be dynamic on this. how long do you think— to actually be dynamic on this. how long do you think he's got? potentially some people say the autumn might prove difficult with the privileges committee report coming out. do you sense that your colleagues who have been attacking each other in public, nadine dorries

as i say, i think you are right to say autumn could be a difficult period. let's see what happens with the privileges committee report. ok. the privileges committee report. ok, no doubt we — the privileges committee report. ok, no doubt we will be speaking again. michael fabricant. let's catch up with the weather, it is glorious here. what is it like across the rest of the uk? hello there. many parts of the country will continue to see some sunshine through the rest of the day. we are going to find temperatures a bit higher than they were yesterday so it feels a bit warm out there. one or two showers will break out as well. those will ease away during this evening. still a bit cloudy and damp across southern counties of england as well. but towards the south west into wales and northern ireland we will see some rain pushing on here before midnight — that rain band moves up to the south—west of scotland and sweeps into eastern parts of england. quite a warm night tonight, temperatures typically 13 or 14 degrees. a bit cooler ahead of that rain in northern parts of scotland and here it may stay dry on wednesday. that rain first thing in eastern england moves away across england and wales. we will see sunshine and showers. blustery winds in the south.

one or two heavy showers still around in the afternoon for eastern areas as showers become fewer in wales and the south—west. we could see a bit of rain threatening northern ireland in the afternoon and that rain is moving very slowly northwards across scotland. temperatures tomorrow very similar to what we have seen today. goodbye. hello, this is bbc news — i'm shaun ley — the headlines: borisjohnson tells his cabinet he is "drawing a line" under questions about his leadership after winning last night's vote of confidence. we are able now to draw a line under theissues 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 us to talk about which is what we are doing to help them. but — 148 conservative mps voted against the prime minister —

in a significant revolt against his leadership. this was an inconclusive result in one respect, not a defeat but not win that allows us to draw a line. in normal times this would result in a resignation but these are far from normal times. a man who remained a member of the neo—nazi group national action — after it was banned in 2016 — has been jailed for eight and a half years. the mother of music entrepreneur and youtube starjamal edwards says her son died from cardiac arrhythmia after taking recreational drugs. motoring groups call for government intervention to ease rising fuel prices — as the rac says it now costs £98 to fill the average car with petrol. just a bit of breaking news coming out of the uk health security agency, it says monkeypox is to be

designated from a notifiable infection from wednesday which means all doctors in england will have a legal obligation to notify local authorities when they suspect a patient has the virus. rapid diagnostic reporting is key to interrupting transmission and containing any further spread of monkeypox, according to the uk health protection agency. reflecting the growth in numbers of infections we have seen in the ok. let's pause now to get some sport at the bbc sport centre. hello, austin. we start with golf, because fans will no longer be able to watch the former world number one, dustinjohnson, on the pga tour. the two—time major champion has turned his back on the sport's premier tour competition, to join the new saudi—backed liv golf series, which starts this week. it means he also won't be available to play in the ryder cup from now on.

so johnson's comitted to play in all 8 of the events in the new series, starting in st albans on thursday. he'll reportedly $150 million dollars for taking part, and he says the decision was for him and his family... i'm going to play here for now and that's the plan. but what the consequences are going to be, consequences are going to he, obviously i can't comment on how the tour is going to handle. ilrrul’ith tour is going to handle. with retards tour is going to handle. with regards to — tour is going to handle. with regards to majors? - tour is going to handle. with regards to majors? again, i | tour is going to handle. with i regards to majors? again, i can't regards to ma'ors? again, i can't answerfor— regards to majors? again, i can't answer for the _ regards to majors? again, i can't answer for the majors, _ regards to majors? again, i can't answer for the majors, but - regards to majors? again, i can't i answer for the majors, but hopefully answerfor the majors, but hopefully they will allow us to play. obviously i'm exempt from the majors so i plan on playing there unless i hear otherwise. emma raducanu's preparations for wimbledon have suffered a major sertback. the british number one was forced to retire from the nottingham open this afternoon. raducanu couldn't continue mid—way

through the first set of her first round match with viktoria golubich, because of an injury to her left side. she'd been struggling after a medical time out afterjust 5 games, and after a second stoppage, just a few minutes later, she decided that she was unable to continue. it was her first time back on grass since she retired in the fourth round at wimbledon last summer. raducanu's failed to win more than two matches at a tournament since her astonishing run to the title at the us open in september. well, the action continues at nottingham. jay clarke is through to the second round. he beat pauljubb in straight sets in their all—british clash. ryan peniston hasjust started his match againstjiri vesely. you can watch that right now on the bbc iplayer and the bbc sport website. staying with tennis and it's been announced that glasgow will host the billiejean king

cup in november. great britain looked like they might miss out on the finals, but after being named as hosts, they will qualify automatically. so they'll now play in the 12—team event — labelled the women's world cup of tennis — alongside the likes of australia, canada, poland and the usa. seven england fans have been arrested in munich ahead of their team's nations league match against germany tonight. more than 4,500 fans are expected to be in the city for the game. it's the first time england have been accompanied by a significant away following since the start of the coronavirus pandemic — and mark roberts, who's the national football policing lead, says the small minority of fans were dealt with accordingly. we have had some people who have been trying to antagonise the police with nazi salutes. clearly a really sensitive subject so they have been arrested. some unpleasant stuff, but nothing trying to create violence, and sadly it's all driven through

alcohol. often we have seen football when people don't behave well it's because they have drunk and to excess. and manchester city defender alex greenwood has tested positive for covid—19 and has returned home from the england women's training camp. england say she'll be monitored regularly with a view to returning as soon as possible. serena weigman's side begin a series of friendly matches next week in the build—up to the the home european championship that start in july. that's all the sport for now. i will have more throughout the afternoon. there is plenty going on, isn't there austin? thank you very much. the founder of the banned neo—nazi group national action, alex davies, has been sentenced to eight and a half years in prison. he will spend at least two thirds of that in custody. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford was at the old bailey — i asked him if the length of the sentence was significant:

a very significant sentence. eight and a half years is the longest sentence anyone has received for membership of national action. alex davies has now received the longest sentence of those who were banned. he admitted he was the founder of national action. he said it was my idea and had given evidence at length before a jury in winchester crown court trying to explain his nazi beliefs but also trying to deny he had been involved in continuing the group after it had been banned. the prosecution though came back and produced evidence that he had gone on meeting other members of national action, that he had organised what were effectively fight training camps with boxing and knife fighting after the ban and the prosecution made the case this was all signs of his continuation of the group after it was banned, and the jury decided at the trial at winchester crown court that was the case. he came here today for sentencing before

judge mark dennis qc said to him, "you are an educated young man yet you have held over many years warped and shocking prejudices and beliefs which you would appear to retain to this day. the chill that appeared to descend on the court room when you explained how you had put into practice your views and deal with those will no doubt linger for a while longer in the memory of those that heard what you had to say and were shocked by it." that was a reference to alex davies' evidence before the jury, which he described as neo—nazi views. these are views, mark dennis said, which "you sought to find ways to continue its aims and objectives of the organisation that you founded". and he sentenced him to eight and a half years in prison. under the new rules, alex davies won't even be considered for

parole for two thirds of that, so that's five years and eight months, and after that he could serve the rest of his sentence on licence if the parole board agrees to freedom. daniel sandford at the old bailey an hour ago. president zelensky of ukraine has warned that his troops in the eastern city of severodonetsk are outnumbered by stronger russian forces. he said street fighting and constant russian artillery bombardments there — and in neighbouring lysychansk — had turned both areas into what he called "dead cities". it comes as russia's ambassador to the united nations walked out of a meeting of the security council after the eu's charles michel blamed the invasion of ukraine for causing a globalfood crisis. our correspondentjoe inwood has this report from kyiv. jelena has been left with her life, but little else. "don't walk there, the roof could fall," her rescuer says. the 81—year—old's house was hit in a suspected russian missile artillery strike.

translation: you see | yourself what happened. what else can i say? i have been left homeless in my old age. she lives in the village of druzhkivka, just under 50 miles from the cities of lysychansk and severodonetsk, the current focus of russia's forces. and this is what could await her town if the russian invasion continues. under almost constant bombardment, president zelensky says they have been left as dead cities. translation: when you drive across lysychansk, there - is a feeling that there is no one there. there are no people on the streets except for our military. and this is what people have fled. footage released by the russians shows their artillery in action. explosions. they are pounding this region and its ukrainian defenders, who the british ministry of defence

say they are trying to cut off. but it is notjust on the front lines that the consequences of this war are being felt. there is a globalfood crisis being caused by the blockade of ukraine's ports. an intense session of the united nations, the eu representative held nothing back. let's be honest. the kremlin is using food supplies as a stealth missile against developing countries. the dramatic consequences of russia's war are spilling over across the globe, and this is driving up food prices, pushing people into poverty and destabilising entire regions. and russia is solely responsible for this food crisis. now, that's something they deny. indeed, the kremlin says it is the west that is causing the food crisis because their continued support for ukraine is prolonging this conflict. but for people in places like druzhkivka, this is a war for their very survival, a conflict that is now being felt around the world. joe inwood, bbc news, kyiv.

police are searching for a britishjournalist and a leading brazilian expert in isolated tribes, who have gone missing in a remote part of the amazon rainforest. dom phillips and bruno pereira were travelling in brazil researching a book, near the border with columbia and peru, when they disappeared on sunday. indigenous groups say the two had received threats days before. let's talk to sam cowie, a journalist in sao paulo and friend of dom for almost a decade. thank you for talking to us, this must be a worrying time. what can you tell us about the background to this disappearance? what you tell us about the background to

this disappearance?— you tell us about the background to this disappearance? what we know is that dom and — this disappearance? what we know is that dom and bruno, _ this disappearance? what we know is that dom and bruno, both _ this disappearance? what we know is that dom and bruno, both very - that dom and bruno, both very experienced in their fields, that dom and bruno, both very experienced in theirfields, they were researching in a very remote part of the amazon. they were supposed to return to an outpost, a city but more like an outpost, by a certain time on sunday and they never returned. the stretch of water from where they were travelling along from a very small hamlet, this is a part of the amazon that especially over the last decade has seen a huge influx of drug traffickers who use the water to transport drugs, arms traffickers that use it for the same thing. illegal fishers, that use it for the same thing. illegalfishers, illegal hunters, illegal fishers, illegal hunters, illegal gold illegalfishers, illegal hunters, illegal gold miners. it's basically an absolute hotbed of illegal activity and environmental crime, and a very lawless place. so we are

extremely concerned for the fact they have disappeared and not reported back yet. bono himself is an extremely experienced man working in the region indigenous tribes. him and dom travelled together there in 2018 so they are no stranger to this sort of very harsh, lawless and unforgiving environment. so that is one of the reasons we are really concerned here in brazil. ~ ., , ., , ., , in brazil. what efforts have been auoin on in brazil. what efforts have been going on to _ in brazil. what efforts have been going on to try — in brazil. what efforts have been going on to try and _ in brazil. what efforts have been going on to try and trace - in brazil. what efforts have been going on to try and trace them? | going on to try and trace them? because as you say, it's a very remote area. because as you say, it's a very remote area-— because as you say, it's a very remote area. .. , ., , , remote area. exactly, the valley is a retion remote area. exactly, the valley is a region about _ remote area. exactly, the valley is a region about the _ remote area. exactly, the valley is a region about the size _ remote area. exactly, the valley is a region about the size of- remote area. exactly, the valley is a region about the size of austria. | a region about the size of austria. the amazon is bigger than europe, right? but we understand the part they were travelling on, on the river itself, two hours from this

outpost, it is less notebook is extremely dangerous because of this influx of criminal activity mainly as a result of budget cuts over the last three years. we know there are divers and specialised teams that have just arrived now, divers and specialised teams that havejust arrived now, but divers and specialised teams that have just arrived now, but basically the families and friends here have been imploring the brazilian government to really get ahead with the search and rescue operation because literally seconds count in this sort of very unforgiving and harsh environment. i this sort of very unforgiving and harsh environment.— this sort of very unforgiving and harsh environment. i was going to ask ou harsh environment. i was going to ask you about _ harsh environment. i was going to ask you about the _ harsh environment. i was going to ask you about the indigenous i harsh environment. i was going to i ask you about the indigenous groups that in particular bruno pereira works with. he's part of the government agency that helps protects their rights. presumably, local knowledge is key to trying to find out what happened or may have happened to these two men? that’s happened to these two men? that's ri . ht. the happened to these two men? that's right. the indigenous _ happened to these two men? “trust�*s right. the indigenous association that bruno pereira has been working with, as soon as they didn't return

they had taken two microchips of the river already. they said in a statement that was released yesterday, and as you say local knowledge is imperative here. if there is one person on this planet that has better knowledge of this region and indigenous groups that live there, it is bruno pereira. that is another reason why we are so worried because if the boat had broken down or something like this, bruno would know specific places of where to moor the boat, where they would be safe. we can only hope that they emerge from the forest in a few days' time absolutely dumbfounded about all this false about them basically. but in the meantime we continue extremely worried. we have seen scenes of people disappearing before. there was a illegal mining pilot who crashed in the amazon disappeared for 36 days last year, emerged 15 kilograms lighter after

he found a community with a radio. we can only hope that something similar happened here or that they are safe somewhere in the forest out of harm's way of these criminal groups that work in the region from whom they had received threats in recent days. but yes, as we say, seconds are really important, seconds are really important, seconds are really important, seconds are vital for the rescue in remote regions of the amazon. friends and family are imploring the brazilian government to really get on the case and do as much as possible, as much as humanly possible, as much as humanly possible to find out what has happened and to save the lives of our friends and colleagues. sam cowie. a very passionate hope for your friends. thank you very much.

will be seeing some warm sunshine coming through. later in the day, we're going to start to see this weather front arriving in the southwest and that will push rain northwards and eastwards this evening and overnight. and if that's still a bit cloudy and damp across some of these more southern counties of england with some sunshine elsewhere, we're going to find one or two showers popping off. but on the whole, temperatures are a little bit higher than they were yesterday. heading into this evening, we'll see those showers soon fading away. but then we've got this rain coming into wales, in the southwest, northern ireland, that band of rain sweeps its way towards eastern parts of england and up into the southwest of scotland. pretty mild overnight temperatures for many places, 13, 1a degrees, a little bit cooler ahead of that rain across some northern parts of scotland. and here it may well stay dry during wednesday because that rain sort of grinds to a halt across the central belt. the rain bands some moves away from eastern parts of england. then we'll see some sunshine and some showers. blustery winds across southern parts of england, one or two thunderstorms possible in eastern england as the showers become fewer in wales and the south west, maybe a bit of cloud and rain threatening northern ireland during the afternoon. temperatures on the whole fairly similar to what we're seeing today.

now, let me take you the other side of the atlantic. this area of cloud here is ex—tropical storm alex and that gave a lot of flooding rains across florida and the bahamas over the weekend. and that deep area of low pressure is tracking towards the uk. on that weather front there, this is where we'll see some rain. there won't be much rain at all. mind you, it eventually sneaks into wales, the south west and northern ireland. ahead of that, maybe one or two showers, but the winds are going to be light. when the sunshine develops a little more widely, it'll feel quite warm once again with temperatures peaking at 21 celsius. now, recent models have tracked that area of low pressure, the ex—tropical storm further away from the uk. so the winds are not looking quite as strong now. it'll be a breezy day. and we're going to draw in south—westerly winds that will bring with it some warmer air as well. strongest winds, they're going to be towards the northwest of the uk. and this is where we're going to find some fairly frequent, perhaps heavy showers as well. still got that weather front in the south east, not bringing much rain. it does move away and then we'll see some sunshine developing more widely. that's going to give the temperatures a boost. it is warmer air. so we're looking at highs in eastern

parts as high as 23 celsius.

here. what is it like across the rest of the uk? this is bbc news — i'm shaun ley — the headlines. borisjohnson tells his cabinet he is "drawing a line" under questions about his leadership — after winning last night's vote of confidence. 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 of this country want us to talk about, which is what we are doing to help them. that is not the view of the 148 mp5 all 41% that is not the view of the 148 mp5 all lii% of the that is not the view of the 148 mp5 all1i1% of the conservative parliamentary party, who voted against borisjohnson�*s leadership. this was an inconclusive result from one respect, not a defeat but not win that allows us to draw a line. in normal times this would result

probably in a resignation. but these are far from normal times. i'm geeta guru—murthy live in westminster — boris johnson's supporters borisjohnson�*s supporters say he has a decisive victory here. his opponents say he is a dead man walking. we will bring you the very latest. a man who remained a member of the neo—nazi group national action — after it was banned in 2016 — has beenjailed for eight and a half years. the mother of music entrepreneur and youtube star jamal edwards says her son died from cardiac arrhythmia after taking recreational drugs. motoring groups call for government intervention to ease rising fuel prices — as the rac says it now costs £98 to fill the average car with petrol.

hello and welcome. borisjohnson has told the cabinet the government should now move on. let'sjoin my colleague geeta guru murthy in college green. it isa it is a fine day in westminster but one suspects in the conservative party people are feeling fairly bruised on all sides of the debate because borisjohnson was victorious in that vote but very badly damaged, whilst the rebels, all from different factions, not in a coordinated move, against boris johnson, the didn't get enough to topple him. here's the latest from damian grammaticas. today, time for a downing street clean—up operation. if a prime minister has nine lives, how many does the current one have left? yesterday, his loyal supporters said a win by one vote would be enough. he won comfortably and now he is getting on with business. cabinet this morning, there is a lot to be done.

but it was a good result for the prime minister, he won. and he won by more than the one i said was enough. reporter: how wounded is the prime minister? - but the cabinet gathering today know that last night's result for the prime minister was worse than almost anyone had expected. previous tory leaders theresa may and john major all got bigger shares of their mps to back them. reporter: can the prime minister survive? - those leaders were left wounded. so what about this one? thank you, by the way, everybody, for all 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 can get on with talking about what i think the people in this country want us to talk about, which is what we are doing to help them and take the country forward. boris johnson's backers want to move on, but four in ten of his mps do not believe he is the right man for thejob, and some round the cabinet table could one day be possible alternatives.

last night, the scale of the discontent in the tory party was laid bare. mrjohnson�*s critics do not have a leader or even an organised campaign. thejohnson camp have described them as disparate and disgruntled, but they number almost 150 mp5. the vote in favour of having confidence in borisjohnson as the leader was 211 votes. the vote against was 148 votes. this was an inconclusive result, in one respect, not a defeat, but not a win that allows us to draw a line. in normal times, this would result probably in a resignation, but these are far from normal times. mrjohnson�*s critics come from all wings of the party. andrea leadsom, a brexit supporter, said last week that there had been significant failures of leadership. today, she said mrjohnson�*s win was comprehensive. today is another day, we move on. i know the prime minister will want to focus absolutely on the priorities of the country. reporter: he is the right man to lead the party - into the next election?

that's it, thanks. not answering whether mrjohnson was the right leaderfor the party. this is catastrophic for the prime minister, but what is more important is the overwhelming public opinion that borisjohnson broke the rules and should not be prime minister. but this prime minister thinks he doesn't have to follow the rules and that he willjust keep carrying on. he doesn't put anyone forward first, including the country, he always thinks of himself. more problems loom. two tricky by—elections, parliament investigating whether he lied to it, and an economy maybe heading for recession. issues to test even the most secure leader. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. borisjohnson boris johnson letting borisjohnson letting the camera is in on his cabinet meeting today, trying to present a united front. a lot of eyes were on cabinet and even junior ministers this morning, people wondering whether any of those would move against the prime

minister. but at the moment everyone is staying, publicly at least, very loyal, although we know of course that many in the cabinet have got their own leadership ambitions potentially and we are hearing that some of the junior ministerial ranks also have been very unhappy. again at the moment nobody is moving officially today against boris johnson. we have heard from liz truss, the foreign secretary, who was asked whether last night's vote had damaged the prime minister's authority. what we saw in yesterday's vote was a clear majority in support of the prime minister. what we have been doing today is getting on with the business of government. we have had a cabinet meeting, we are working on making housing more affordable, making childcare more affordable, lowering taxes, and that's what the public want us to be doing. 0n the prime minister's authority, going back to that first question, has it been undermined? as i've said, the prime minister remains committed to our agenda. he has already delivered on brexit, he has delivered on covid, on helping the economy recover, he's delivered on supporting ukraine in the face of appalling russian

aggression, and that's what the cabinet want him to carry on doing and that's what the country want him to carry on doing. so what is your message to those 148 of your colleagues who declared they had no confidence in the party leader? my message is we had a vote yesterday, it was a clear result in that vote, now is the time to get behind the prime minister to deliver on what people in britain want to see, which is dealing with issues around the affordability of housing, the affordability of childcare, getting taxes down, getting our economy going, that's what people want to see. what does this mean with regard to your ambitions potentially liz truss, the foreign secretary speaking a little earlier. we have also been hearing from lord frost, david frost, of course the key brexit negotiator, speaking to my colleague sarah montague on bbc

radio 4 for the world at one this afternoon, former brexit minister lord frost, was asked if he thought borisjohnson won the vote by enough to allow him to govern. both sides need to respect the result. the prime minister's opponents have got to respect the fact that he won and his supporters and the prime minister think have got to accept that a change of policy is needed, that the vote last night, when nearly 150 of your own mps vote against you, it is a sign of the big problem and i think the big problem is that we are delivering an economic policy that will not deliver prosperity and wealth, and if we can change that, if he can change that, then he can get on to a different path and save the premiership and the government. i'm going to come back to that, but i want to briefly deal with the northern ireland protocol, because we expect the publication within days. we have already had ireland's foreign minister simon coveney saying he is concerned that the vote last night may lead to borisjohnson and night may lead to borisjohnson hardening his position

on the protocol to shore up his position in the party. do you think that's possible? i think the position that has been set out by the government in the last few weeks is not going to change. i think overseas observers are often not very shrewd in reading uk politics, to be honest. i think the government is now on the right path where the eu has refused to negotiate again and again on this question. we have put down compromises, they won't talk about them, we are now seeing the good friday agreement and the institutions being seriously undermined, and i don't think the government has any real option. i think the best thing the irish government could do would be to recognise that reality as well and work with the eu to get a negotiated solution. so whenjesse norman said in his letter yesterday that breaching the protocol would be economically damaging, politically foolhardy and almost certainly illegal, how do you respond to that?

as i understand it, the government's legal advice is that this bill will not be a breach of the protocol, that there is a higher duty to keep in place the good friday agreement. i would have thought that everybody in the conservative party which is the party of the nation and party of this country ought to come behind and support that. lord frost there. i spoke to conor burns in the last few minutes, northern ireland minister, and a key ally of boris johnson, for his reaction. i minister, and a key ally of boris johnson, for his reaction.- johnson, for his reaction. i said yesterday _ johnson, for his reaction. i said yesterday i _ johnson, for his reaction. i said yesterday i hoped _ johnson, for his reaction. i said yesterday i hoped we _ johnson, for his reaction. i said yesterday i hoped we would - johnson, for his reaction. i said| yesterday i hoped we would get johnson, for his reaction. i "— c yesterday i hoped we would get to a decisive result, a decisive win, it was a win, and the prime minister is now focused on carrying on with the task of delivering the commitments he gave to the british public in 2019 that resulted in a landslide win just two and a half years ago. critics say it is not decisive, conservative newspaper described borisjohnson as a dead man walking, lame duck prime minister, fatally wounded. forthe lame duck prime minister, fatally wounded. for the good of the conservative party and country,

shouldn't he just make way? no, for the good of the country in the conservative party he should get on with the task of delivering the manifesto on which he won a landslide majority, the biggest majority of the conservative party since margaret thatcher in 1987. the rebels say they only need 13 more mp5 and they can bring back another mps and they can bring back another vote of confidence with a tweak to the rules of the 1922. the vote of confidence with a tweak to the rules of the 1922.— the rules of the 1922. the prime minister won — the rules of the 1922. the prime minister won the _ the rules of the 1922. the prime - minister won the election yesterday. he won the confidence vote. the party voted by a decisive margin that they have confidence in boris johnson as prime minister and leader of the conservative party. it is now “p of the conservative party. it is now up to him to get on. the of the conservative party. it is now up to him to get on.— up to him to get on. the privileges committee — up to him to get on. the privileges committee is _ up to him to get on. the privileges committee is reporting _ up to him to get on. the privileges committee is reporting in - up to him to get on. the privileges committee is reporting in the - committee is reporting in the autumn, again another damaging moment potentially. doesn't the country deserve a prime minister that can focus on the country must make issues and not his own? the rime make issues and not his own? tue: prime ministers focused make issues and not his own? tt9: prime ministers focused on make issues and not his own? tt9 prime ministers focused on the country must make agenda and what is right. i get what people want to do on this, we have really important stuff to do in government and i'm dealing with the northern ireland protocol, working with the secretary

of state for northern ireland and foreign secretary to fix that and negotiate a conclusion to that with the european union. these are decisive and important matters that are really important to ordinary people in our country. that legislation _ people in our country. that legislation is _ people in our country. that legislation is due _ people in our country. that legislation is due in - people in our country. that legislation is due in the - people in our country. that legislation is due in the coming days, we hear, but it will be hard to get it through the commons with all the rebel factions that have now made themselves known. why will it be hard to get through the house of commons? that is one fear among those who want to get it pushed through the, the prime minister will have to buy off so many different voices. :, , :, �* :, :, voices. you shouldn't conflate what is a vote in — voices. you shouldn't conflate what is a vote in the _ voices. you shouldn't conflate what is a vote in the confidence - voices. you shouldn't conflate what is a vote in the confidence in - voices. you shouldn't conflate what is a vote in the confidence in the i is a vote in the confidence in the party and the prime minister and legislation to sort out something thatis legislation to sort out something that is not working for a united kingdom. today is a day where the leadership election, the confidence vote is behind us, and we are again reminding each other of the things we agree on, the manifesto on which we agree on, the manifesto on which we won the election and what we need to do to fix things for the british people. to do to fix things for the british ”eole. ,,, ., ~' to do to fix things for the british --eole. :,~ :, people. speaking to me in the last half an hour— people. speaking to me in the last half an hour or— people. speaking to me in the last half an hour or so, _ people. speaking to me in the last half an hour or so, a _ people. speaking to me in the last half an hour or so, a close - people. speaking to me in the last half an hour or so, a close ally - people. speaking to me in the last

will come forth and be perhaps a better leader than he is. how happy are you with last night's result? quite pleased, in a way. i do vote tory, and ijust think he is the best person for the job. i cannot see anybody else who has got the nerve and whatever else to do the job. this has been a conservative seat for decades, but opposition parties are hoping to change that in the by—election later this month. some voters here feel the pressure is on for the prime minister to go. i do not think boris will survive until the end of the year. i hope he doesn't. he doesn't deserve to be in office. regardless of his policies, his behaviour alone is enough to disbar him from being there. this market trader feels the writing is on the wall for borisjohnson. his supporters will say though there has been a vote, he won and it is time to move on?

they are a bit deluded, they are hanging on. as an outside observer, you can see it is not a good look. the usual? absolutely. out on the high street, the feeling in this barbers is that this is not the right time for the conservative party to cut their losses and remove the prime minister. i think he should stay. some people feel, particularly around partygate, the parties during lockdown, that was unacceptable. i think he has done more than enough. i think he works hard, and he is doing what he can. i don't know why... maybe they don't like him. i don't think labour would have done any better with the pandemic that happened. he got us through that, and, yeah, he may have made a mistake, we all make mistakes in life. so i think he should stay. for now, the conservative party in westminster has made its decision on the prime minister. the by—election result here could give an indication of what direction ordinary voters

want the country's leadership to go in. jenny kumah, bbc news. that seat has come up because of a pornography scandal from the local conservative mp. another seat that is coming up on the same day is wakefield in the north—west where the former conservative mp resigned when he was convicted of assaulting a is—year—old boy. earlier i spoke to our reporter nick garnett, who's in wakefield in northern england, where a by—election will be held later this month. there is a by—election coming on the 23rd, just a few days away. what is interesting is people seem to have their opinions of mrjohnson but they have not changed overnight. there has been no groundswell of opinion which has changed. people seem to be stuck in their views and nobody is switching allegiances. i think he's a very clever man but i think he is a fool, a clever fool.

but on looking at the wider picture i would vote for him again because of the lack of anybody to stand in his— intellectual quality. i don't really trust i him but what is the alternative? not worth thinking about, actually, and i shall- definitely be voting| conservative again. i'm thinking he was supposed to follow his own rules. if you don't follow your own rules, how are you going to teach society? that is my opinion. with the vote of no confidence yesterday i was kind of excited to hear if there was a new pm, perhaps, but obviously, yeah, i don't think i fully really have a massive liking to him, but at the _ same time i'm not totally against him either. so, people not really changing their minds or changing their opinions. i spoke to a chap call

keith hancock and he said mr johnson has got a very unfair press over the years, everything stacked against him, saying, since he came into power, now his own team is at him and if they win we will be left with keir starmer. that was an interesting point, he was saying he simply didn't trust the alternatives to mrjohnson, either within the conservative party, or indeed elsewhere as well on a greater scale. can you remind us why we're having this by—election? they are having a by—election because the mp who was sitting here, this was a constituency that had been labour for many years, probably since the dinosaurs ruled the world! but it changed at the last election by a wafer—thin majority. the incumbent mp imran khan was convicted of a sex offence and was sent to prison. he is appealing that sentence at the moment but because of parliamentary rules he is not allowed to stand at the moment and so the election has been called.

nick garnett in wakefield. those by—election results are being keenly watched, the privileges committee report later in the year also will be watched. we think the rebels are also looking into whether the rules can be changed for another vote of confidence to be launched and a lot of eyes on junior ministers, cabinet ministers, would they be tempted to move at any point against borisjohnson? will he have against borisjohnson? will he have a reshuffle? will he move out any of thejunior ministers, or anyone a reshuffle? will he move out any of the junior ministers, or anyone who hasn't seen to be fully supportive of borisjohnson, or will that hasn't seen to be fully supportive of boris johnson, or will that feel like of borisjohnson, or will that feel like a very of boris johnson, or will that feel like a very divisive move. we have seen lots of divisions exposed in the conservative party in the last 24 the conservative party in the last 2a hours or so. whether they can heal that and move on in a unified fashion is a huge challenge but at the moment borisjohnson is still standing. back to you. geeta guru—murthy at college green in westminster, thank you. now the

latest headlines on bbc news. boris johnson has told his cabinet he is drawing a line under questions about his leadership after winning last night's vote of confidence. but 148 conservative mps voted against him and some say it is a significant revolt meaning it isn't over. a man who remained a member of the neo—nazi group national action after it was banned in 2016 has been jailed for eight and a half years. an announcement made by the uk health protection agency in the last hour, monkeypox is to be listed as a notifiable disease. it means doctors in england are required to notify their local council or health protection team if they suspect a patient has the viral infection. there are already more than 30 notifiable diseases in the uk including measles, tuberculosis and diphtheria. the uk health secutiy agency says the move will help to swiftly identify, treat and control the disease.

the founder of the banned neo—nazi group national action, alex davies, has been sentenced to eight and a half years in prison. he will spend at least two thirds of that in custody. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford was at the old bailey — i asked him if the length of the sentence was significant. a very significant sentence, eight and a half years for membership of national action after it was banned is the longest sentence anyone has received for membership of national action. there have been 19 convictions now for membership of national action after it was banned, and of those alex davies has received a longer sentence. he admitted in court he was the founder of national action. he said, it was my idea. he had given evidence at length before a jury at winchester crown court to trying to explain his nazi beliefs but also trying to deny he had been involved in continuing the group after it had been banned. the prosecution, though, came back and produced evidence that he had

gone on meeting other members of national action, that he had organised what were effectively fight training camps with boxing and knife fighting after the ban, and the prosecution made the case that this was all signs of his continuation of the group after it was banned, and thejury decided that the trial at winchester crown court that was the case. he came here today for sentencing before judge mark dennis qc and judge michael ennis said to him, you are an educated young man and yet you have held over many years warped and shocking prejudices and beliefs which you would appear to retain to this day. the chill that appeared to descend on the court room when you explain how you would put into practice for your views and deal with those against whom you held such hatred and prejudice by removing them from the country will no doubt linger for a while long removing them from the country will no doubt lingerfor a while long in the memory of those that heard what you had to say and were shocked by it. that is of course a reference to

evidence before the jury in which he espoused his neo—nazi views. these are views, mark dennis said, which you carried with you when you defied the ban on national action and sought to find ways to continue its aims and objectives, the aims and objectives of the organisation that you found it. he sentenced him to eight and a half years in prison and under the new rules alex davies won't even be considered for parole for two thirds of that, so five years and eight months, and after that he could serve the rest of his sentence on licence if the parole board agrees to free him. daniel sandford at _ board agrees to free him. daniel sandford at the _ board agrees to free him. daniel sandford at the old _ board agrees to free him. daniel sandford at the old bailey. - police are searching for a britishjournalist and a leading brazilian expert in isolated tribes, who have gone missing in a remote part of the amazon rainforest. dom phillips and bruno pereira were travelling in brazil researching a book, near the border with columbia and peru,

when they disappeared on sunday. indigenous groups say the two had received threats days before. earlier i spoke to sam cowie, a journalist in sao paulo and friend of dom for almost a decade, who told me the latest on what he knew about the pair what we know is that don and bruno are very experienced in their fields, they were researching in a very remote part of the amazon. they were supposed to return to an outpost, or a city, were supposed to return to an outpost, ora city, but were supposed to return to an outpost, or a city, but it's more like an outpost by a certain time on sunday and they never returned. the stretch of water from where they were travelling along from a very small hamlet, this is a part of the amazon, which especially over the last decade, has seen a huge influx of drug traffickers, who use the water to transport drugs, arms traffickers who use it for the same

thing, illegalfishers, illegal hunters, illegal gold miners, illegal loggers, this isjust basically an absolute hotbed of illegal activity and environmental crime, and a very, very lawless place. so we are extremely concerned for the fact that they have disappeared and not reported back. bruno himself is an extremely experienced man working in the regional with uncontacted indigenous tribes. him and dom phillips travelled there together in 2018 and spent a month on the river there together so there are no stranger to this harsh, lawless and unforgiving environment. that is one of the reasons we are really concerned here in brazil. ~ :, , :, , :, , in brazil. what efforts have been auoin on in brazil. what efforts have been going on to _ in brazil. what efforts have been going on to trace _ in brazil. what efforts have been going on to trace them? - in brazil. what efforts have been going on to trace them? as - in brazil. what efforts have been going on to trace them? as you | in brazil. what efforts have been i going on to trace them? as you say it is a remote area, although it is a reservation that doesn't mean very much, does it come in terms of it being a defined area where there is any kind of official presence? exactly. the valley is a region

about the size of austria, the amazon is bigger than europe. but we understand that the part that they were travelling along on the river itself which is two hours from the main outposts in a region with a city of about 15,000 people. this is less remote but extremely dangerous pics of the influx of criminal activity, mainly as a result of budget cuts over the last three years. we know that there are divers and specialised teams that have just arrived now. but basically, the families and friends here have been imploring the brazilian government to really get ahead with the search and rescue operation because literally seconds count in this very unforgiving and harsh environment. t unforgiving and harsh environment. i was going to ask about the indigenous groups, that in particular bruno pereira had worked with, part of the government agency that helps protect their rights, isn't he? presumably local knowledge

isn't he? presumably local knowledge is key to try and find out what happened, or may have happened, to these two? : , happened, or may have happened, to thesetwo? : , :, �*, these two? absolutely, that's right. the indigenous _ these two? absolutely, that's right. the indigenous association - these two? absolutely, that's right. the indigenous association that - the indigenous association that bruno pereira has been working with, as soon as they didn't return they have taken as soon as they didn't return they have ta ken two as soon as they didn't return they have taken two trips of the river already, they said in a statement that was released yesterday, and as you say local knowledge is imperative here, it is absolutely imperative. if there is one person on this planet that has better knowledge of this region than the indigenous groups that live there, it is bruno pereira. this is one of the reason why we are so worried because if the boat had broken down or something like this, bruno would know specific places of where to moor the boat, where they would be safe. we can only hope that they emerge from the forest in a few days' time absolutely dumbfounded about all this fuss about them. but for the meantime we continue

extremely worried. we have seen the scenes of people disappearing before. there was a pilot, illegal mining pilot who crashed in the amazon and disappeared for 36 days last year, emerged after 36 days, 15 kilos lighter after he founded a community with a radio. we can only hope that something similar happened here, orthat hope that something similar happened here, or that they are hiding, safe somewhere in the forest out of harm's way of the criminal groups that work in the region, from whom they had received threats in recent days. but yes, as we say, seconds are really important, seconds are vital in the rescue in regions, these remote regions of the amazon. friends and family are imploring the brazilian government to really get on the case and do as much as possible, as much as humanly possible, as much as humanly possible to find out what has happened and to save the lives of our friends and colleagues. happened and to save the lives of ourfriends and colleagues. 5am our friends and colleagues. sam cowie, our friends and colleagues. sam cowie. and _ our friends and colleagues. sam cowie. and of — our friends and colleagues. sam cowie, and of course _ our friends and colleagues. sam cowie, and of course we - our friends and colleagues. sam cowie, and of course we will bring you any news about the fate of those

two men on bbc news. darren bett is here with the weather. it is a lovely photograph. is it like that everywhere? no, of course not, this is central scotland and the weather will not look like this tomorrow because things are changing. we have seen some sunshine, the cloud building across england and wales, we have one or two showers breaking out as well but still the temperatures are hovering around 20 or 21 degrees in many parts of the country. this is where the change is coming from because this evening will see rain pushing to the south—west of england and then into wales in before midnight into northern ireland. the band of rain continues northwards and eastwards over night up into southern scotland and across to eastern parts of england. it could be quite warm tonight, temperature 13 or 1a degrees but a bit cooler ahead of the raining northern scotland. here it could stay dry with the rain grinding to a halt

across central scotland making it cool here. following the rain in eastern england, england and wales will see sunshine and showers, everyone is any extending england as do clouds become fewer. and we could see rain coming back into northern ireland. temperatures in western areas down on today, but towards the eastern side of england we are still looking at 21 celsius. hello, this is bbc news with shaun ley.

the headlines: borisjohnson tells his cabinet he is "drawing a line" under questions about his leadership after winning last night's vote of confidence. 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 of this country want us to talk about, which is what we are doing to help them. 148 conservative mps voted against the prime minister — in a significant revolt against his leadership. this was an inconclusive result in one respect, not a defeat but not a win, that allows us to draw a line. in normal times this would result probably in a resignation but these are far from normal times. police are searching for a british journalist and a leading brazilian expert in isolated tribes who have gone missing in a remote part of the amazon rainforest.

we are extremely concerned for the fact that they have disappeared and not reported back. a man who remained a member of the neo—nazi group national action — after it was banned — has been jailed for eight and a half years. we have been talking a lot in politics about when is a win and when a win might mean a defeat. one place we don't have to worry about any of that doublespeak is in sport where a win is a win. austin can tell us more. good afternoon. we start with golf again because the future of the game as we know it has been thrown into doubt with first event of the saudi—backed liv golf series this week. the former world number one, dustin johnson, announced today that he's resigned from the sport's premier competition — the pga tour.

it means he also won't be available to play in the ryder cup from now on. johnson will reportedly receive 150 million dollars for taking part in the series, that starts on thursday in st albans. irishman graeme mcdowell is another of the former major winners who will play alongside him. we are not politicians. i know you guys hate that expression but we are really not unfortunately, and we are professional golfers. you know, if saudi arabia want to use the game of golf as a way for them to get to where they want to be and they have the resources to accelerate that experience, you know, ithink the resources to accelerate that experience, you know, i think we are proud to help them on thatjourney using the game of golf and the abilities that we have to help grow the sport and take them to where they want to be.— the sport and take them to where they want to be. that was graeme mcdowell there. _

andy murray's made his way through to the second round of the stuttgart open in style, with a straight sets win over qualifier christopher o'connell. the three—time grand slam champion lost the first three games of the match before launching a comeback to beat the australian 6—4, 6—3. meanwhile, emma raducanu's preparations for wimbledon have suffered a major sertback. suffered a major setback. the british number one was forced to retire, mid—way through her first—round match at the nottingham open this afternoon. she'd been struggling after a medical time—out after just five games against viktoria golubich because of an injury to her left side. and just a few games later, she was unable to continue. it was her first time back on grass since she retired in the fourth round at wimbledon last summer. raducanu's failed to win more than two matches at a tournament since her astonishing run to the title at the us open in september.

well, the action continues at nottingham and jay clarke is through to the second round. he beat pauljubb in straight sets in their all—british clash. ryan peniston hasjust started his match againstjiri vesely. you can watch that right now on the bbc iplayer and the bbc sport website. ryan peniston has lost that first set. seven england fans have been arrested in munich ahead of their team's nations league match against germany tonight. more than a500 fans are expected to be in the city for the game. it's the first time england have been accompanied by a significant away following since the start of the coronavirus pandemic and mark roberts, who's the head of uk football policing, says the small minority of fans were dealt with accordingly. we have had some people who have been trying to antagonise the police with nazi salutes. clearly a really sensitive subject so they have been arrested.

so some unpleasant stuff, but nothing trying to create violence, and sadly it's all driven through alcohol. often we have seen football when people don't behave well it's because they have drunk and to excess. a manchester city defender alex greenwood has tested positive for covid and has returned home from the england women's training camp. england say she'll be monitored regularly with a view to returning as soon as possible. serena weigman's side begin a series of friendly matches next week in the build—up to the home european championship that start in july. it is the england men's team in action later, hopefully for a win in germany tonight. that's all the sport for now. always hopeful! now, iwant always hopeful! now, i want to bring you some breaking news, which will affect anyone who is a regular train

user. the rmt, which balloted successfully for industrial action over its claim both aboutjob cuts particularly in maintenance and other issues on the railways against network rail, who do all the maintenance work, but also against the train operating companies as well, it says it is going to bring out members on three days this month. the 21st ofjune, the 23rd of june, and the 25th ofjune. it blames the inability of the rail and players to come to a negotiated settlement. network rail and train operating companies it says have subjected their staff to multi—pay freezes and planned cut to thousands of maintenance jobs will make the railways and save. it has a window in which it has to give a certain amount of notice and those are the dates. the 21st, the 23rd, and the

25th ofjune. from today, prosecutors will have powers to charge violent abusers for nonfatal strangulation, as measures in the domestic abuse act 2021 come into force. the legislation sets out a new legal definition for the act, for which perpetrators can face up to five years in prison. nearly a third of female homicides in the uk are the result of strangulation or suffocation. let's talk to nicole jacobs — domestic abuse commisoner for england and wales. nicole, thank you for being with us to talk about this. in part because of the time of day, this is a slightly sensitive subject because this is sometimes used as a defence by men who kill their partners and they say the strangulation was a sexual act, they say the strangulation was a sexualact, not they say the strangulation was a sexual act, not an act of violence. this legislation gives prosecutors some discretion at least to take action on that, yes?— some discretion at least to take action on that, yes? that's right, and it also _ action on that, yes? that's right, and it also extends _ action on that, yes? that's right, and it also extends to _ action on that, yes? that's right, and it also extends to the - action on that, yes? that's right, and it also extends to the huge l and it also extends to the huge numbers of people where they will be

subject to nonfatal strangulation but not in that context. part and parcel of domestic abuse is wanting power and control over your partner, former partner. we see the act of nonfatal strangulation in very high numbers. for example, when we look at some of our numbers of people who come to the attention of high—risk domestic abuse panels, we know that those victims will have said, you know, last year alone 20,000 plus we'll have said they had experienced nonfatal strangulation, so not only in the context of their sexual acts as you said, but much more generally and much more is a message to say i have power over you, your life is literally in my hands. and yet we see that a lot of times these offences are not prosecuted, not investigated properly, and we are very much welcoming the implementation of this new offence

today. we want to see coordinated action to roll it out and make use of it because people need it. tn of it because people need it. i'm interested _ of it because people need it. i'm interested by — of it because people need it. i'm interested by the point you make about coordinated action because one of the saddest thing is we have learnt, isn't it, from the kind of litany of cases of women who have died particularly in domestic abuse situations is that some police forces are perhaps less focused on this crime or in the past have been less focused on it than others. in other words it's been not quite a postcode lottery but certainly been a bit of a patchwork, your prospects of getting a case taken as seriously in some parts of the country as others. :, , , :, :, :, , others. that speaks to many different dynamics. - others. that speaks to many i different dynamics. sometimes others. that speaks to many - different dynamics. sometimes you may have a victim who doesn't necessarily highlight that act amongst many other physical assault. there may not be physical injury. we know that a lot of it will be internal in terms of what you can

see visually, in terms of marks. sometimes we have nonfatal strangulation offences overlooked for that reason. as you said, huge factor and one of the key concerns i have as commissioner is the need for the criminaljustice partners not to work in silos on the roll—out of this event. we need to have a forensic examination properly done and offered so we can bring these offences and bringing these perpetrators to justice. it is really important for a genuine implementation of this type of offence. :, :, , :, implementation of this type of offence. :, :,, :, :, , offence. there are those who worry about the way _ offence. there are those who worry about the way in _ offence. there are those who worry about the way in legal _ offence. there are those who worry about the way in legal terms - offence. there are those who worry about the way in legal terms we - offence. there are those who worry l about the way in legal terms we have got into a situation where we start defining more and more things. and their understanding is the whole point of the legal system is you had broad crimes that covered lots of different behaviour, and they wonder why this is necessary. why hasn't, like the definition of assault for

example, been able to keep up with these different changes of behaviour? because in the end of the same. either injury or death. and it's a very fair point, and it was made during the passage of the domestic abuse act. with this offence be able to be prosecuted in other ways using other types of offences that already exist. what we have found here certainly to be the case and in other countries that have emulated implemented a similar offence is that it is so under recognised and can cause fatal harm. people who are subject to nonfatal strangulation, that increases their risk of homicide or murdered by sevenfold, that is what our research tells us. we need to raise awareness. as you say, we can't have specific offences for absolutely everything but this is one that

really merits our attention and merits our focus. what we hope as of todayis merits our focus. what we hope as of today is victims will know about this offence, that our criminal justice partners will be looking and be much more targeted in their efforts to prosecute and bring perpetrators to justice. this efforts to prosecute and bring perpetrators tojustice. this is quite a serious offence and we have a huge opportunity as of today if we get the coordination and implementation correct. nicole jacobs — domestic abuse commisoner for england and wales. thank you very much. no back to our top story. jeremy, thank you for talking to us.

it's lovely to have you with us as well. there's been a certain amount of not understanding borisjohnson in europe, and particularly i suspect in france. we know about his difficult relationship to president macron. take this kind of move against him, as a surprise do you think to the french? trio. against him, as a surprise do you think to the french?— think to the french? no, not entirely because _ think to the french? no, not entirely because there - think to the french? no, not entirely because there has . think to the french? no, not i entirely because there has been extensive reporting on the partygate scandals. and although there has been nothing comparable here, no similar breaking of laws during the lockdown by those who made them, there is no doubt a certain amount of glee in the french media and possibly the french political establishment that somebody who is seen as the arch brexiteer be laid low and laid low by a scandal that is in some ways rather petty because

it involves drinking and partying. how does this kind of help him or hinder him, do you think? because he has a lot of reasons to be working with the french and german government at the moment over things like ukraine. we have the g7 summit coming up, big talks about the economy later this month, and nato meeting at the end of the month as well. and in the meantime he's got to try and get this problem over the northern ireland protocol resolved with the european union. yes. northern ireland protocol resolved with the european union. yes, well he will obviously _ with the european union. yes, well he will obviously hope _ with the european union. yes, well he will obviously hope these i with the european union. yes, well he will obviously hope these big i he will obviously hope these big issues will help to put the other questions, the questions of partygate in the shade. and of course for the other international leaders, the only interlocutors they have, the only person they have to talk to is really borisjohnson. there is no rival leader there or no otherfigure, so it's going to have to be business as usual. ideli]!!!

other figure, so it's going to have to be business as usual.— to be business as usual. will they be already _ to be business as usual. will they be already though _ to be business as usual. will they be already though calculating i to be business as usual. will they| be already though calculating what might follow. is that in a sense what is part of the job for example of the french diplomatic corps in london and other governments representatives to try and put out feelers and get a sense of where the political mode might mean and what it means for their country if there were to be a change of prime minister or eventually a change of government? t minister or eventually a change of government?— minister or eventually a change of government? i don't think they are in any position _ government? i don't think they are in any position to _ government? i don't think they are in any position to make _ government? i don't think they are in any position to make such i in any position to make such calculations. it looks as though the prime minister will survive at least until the autumn. in the meantime, they have got to work with him. there no idea of what a possible successor if there is one would be like. maybe if it'sjeremy hunt, maybe he will be more conciliatory. but all of that is as it were a pie in the sky for the moment. tithe in the sky for the moment. one erson in the sky for the moment. one person they _ in the sky for the moment. one person they are _ in the sky for the moment. one person they are seeing quite a bit of at the moment so they will be seeing even more over this month and

beyond is liz truss, the british foreign secretary, which of course is the role borisjohnson played himself not so many years ago. in himself not so many years ago. ti france, there is a struggle if you like at the moment to be seen as on the one hand the leader of the european union and on the other hand to be the leader of the west and its engagement with putin. and mr macron is very much up for these two challenges. he wants to put himself forward as much as possible, and conveniently forgetting or ignoring borisjohnson where possible is what he will do. it's widely reported in france that the main reason britain is opposed to ukraine is because britain is simply following the united states. we know that is not the case, britain has its own reasons for being against russia in

the struggle, but it is convenient for france to forget them because there is a struggle for international leadership and prestige. international leadership and - resti . e. :, international leadership and resti . e. :, , international leadership and restiue. :, , :, , prestige. intriguing to see how they 'ostle for prestige. intriguing to see how they jostle for attention _ prestige. intriguing to see how they jostle for attention later _ prestige. intriguing to see how they jostle for attention later in - prestige. intriguing to see how they jostle for attention later in the i jostle for attention later in the month. thank you very much, lovely to speak to you, thank you for your time. :, ~' i. time. thank you. we were - time. thank you. we were talking | time. thank you. i we were talking about time. thank you. _ we were talking about ukraine there with jeremy. president zelensky of ukraine has warned that his troops in the eastern city of severodonetsk are outnumbered by stronger russian forces. he said street fighting and constant russian artillery bombardments there — and in neighbouring lysychansk — had turned both areas into what he called "dead cities". it comes as russia's ambassador to the united nations walked out of a meeting of the security council after the eu's charles michel blamed the invasion of ukraine for causing a globalfood crisis. our correspondentjoe inwood has this report from kyiv. jelena has been left with her life, but little else. "don't walk there, the roof

could fall," her rescuer says. the 81—year—old's house was hit in a suspected russian missile artillery strike. translation: you see | yourself what happened. what else can i say? i have been left homeless in my old age. she lives in the village of druzhkivka, just under 50 miles from the cities of lysychansk and severodonetsk, the current focus of russia's forces. and this is what could await her town if the russian invasion continues. under almost constant bombardment, president zelensky says they have been left as dead cities. translation: when you drive across lysychansk, there i is a feeling that there is no one there. there are no people on the streets except for our military. and this is what people have fled. footage released by the russians shows their artillery in action. explosions. they are pounding this region

and its ukrainian defenders, who the british ministry of defence say they are trying to cut off. but it is notjust on the front lines that the consequences of this war are being felt. there is a globalfood crisis being caused by the blockade of ukraine's ports. an intense session of the united nations, the eu representative held nothing back. let's be honest. the kremlin is using food supplies as a stealth missile against developing countries. the dramatic consequences of russia's war are spilling over across the globe, and this is driving up food prices, pushing people into poverty and destabilising entire regions. and russia is solely responsible for this food crisis. now, that's something they deny. indeed, the kremlin says it is

the west that is causing the food crisis because their continued support for ukraine is prolonging this conflict. but for people in places like druzhkivka, this is a war for their very survival, a conflict that is now being felt around the world. joe inwood, bbc news, kyiv. thousands of people gathered in northern france yesterday to mark the 78th anniversary of the d—day landings. the british normandy memorial was opened officially last year but because of covid restrictions veterans could not travel to mark d day. john maguire reports. today, the normandy coastline, with its calm sea and cobalt blue sky, belies its history. the chaos and carnage of d—day, a lifetime away. with the beaches they stormed 78 years ago as the backdrop, men who fought here laid wreaths

to honour the fallen. it's been a long time coming, but the british normandy memorial, officially opened last year under covid restrictions, could at last host veterans for the 6th ofjune anniversary. seeing it for the first time is ken cooke. it's a beautiful place. i didn't expect it to be as beautiful as what it is, and it will be a very lasting memorial. ken was just 18 years old when he landed here at ver—sur—mer — or gold beach, as it was known — on the first day of battle. i've always thought that the lads that didn't come back are the heroes. we are not the heroes who've survived. the heroes are the lads that's still over there. there's still a lot of memories.

i've tried to get rid of some of them, but some of them will never go away. a fly—past by a spitfire from the battle of britain memorial flight recreated a fraction of the soundscape that would have assaulted the senses. ken hay was still a teenager when he first landed in normandy, his thoughts summed up in a poem he wrote and read at a remembrance service. lord, keep me safe. i'm just 18, and still a lot of life to live. for many of the veterans visiting graves of mates, now seeing their names immortalised here, means so much to them. we were in signal platoon together with the essex. ken remembers denny circus, who'd intended to return home and marry his sweetheart. he was talking about,

"we'll get married after the war." they were already making their plans. there he is. and i suppose that girl was left high and dry. he was a really good guy. not because he's dead. he was a really good guy. the memorial was built to give remembrance a physical form, the names of the 22,41i2 men and women under british control who died in normandy. among those chiselled into the stone is raymond carr's. we found his name, and of course, he's under the royal air force there. and then you come down that column, 13, and there you are, "carr r, sergeant, 21." his brother peter is here, along with his granddaughter, to find raymond's name. why does it mean so much? oh, your brother, yeah. yeah, very emotional.

yeah, it is. they've done such a brilliantjob. wonderful. in one sense i'm very sad. and on the other, i'm very proud. he's there. yeah. he was part of it, wasn't he? that's it, really. it gets me a bit. but, there you go. casey will now pick up the baton and carry on the family's history. when my dad said, "oh, granddad wants to take you to france for the d—day memorial", it's like, "yeah, i'll go." i was so happy they wanted me to go with them. despite their age and their dwindling number, the veterans take part in a packed programme of events when they visit the former battlefields. here in normandy, d—day is defined

notjust by remembrance, but also by gratitude. thejeremy, thank you for talking to us. it's lovely to have you with us as well. there's been a certain amount of not understanding borisjohnson lovely to see at least the weather held for the veterans in normandy yesterday. it's been a lovely day in london. ifeel that has not yesterday. it's been a lovely day in london. i feel that has not been the case everywhere. i wonder what the prospects are. darren bett is the man who always knows and we have a seaside scene.— seaside scene. yes, this was taken in aberystwyth _ seaside scene. yes, this was taken in aberystwyth in _ seaside scene. yes, this was taken in aberystwyth in western - seaside scene. yes, this was taken in aberystwyth in western wales. l seaside scene. yes, this was taken l in aberystwyth in western wales. we had some sunshine here and it was a

pleasant day, and we had sunshine across many parts of the country, warmer than it was yesterday as well. but not everywhere. this was east sussex earlier on, damp and dreary. things have been improving across this part of the uk but at the same time we are seeing cloud increase a bit more in wales and particularly the south—west with rain not far away. temperatures quite widely at 21 celsius. the showers will fade but only because we have this rain moving in across before midnight, that continues northwards into southern scotland, eastwards into eastern england, and it all points to a warm night with temperatures no lower than 1a or 15 degrees. except at the north of that rain banned in scotland where it may stay dry during tomorrow because this rain gets stuck in central scotland keeping it chillier here. after the rain we have sunshine and showers for england and wales, some heavy ones are further eased as the

showers ease in the south—west. blustery winds in southern parts of england, patchy rain in northern ireland with temperatures again 21 celsius also. we leave the uk behind briefly and look out in the atlantic because that curl of cloud was an ex tropical storm called alex and over the weekend that brought flooding into florida as well as the bahamas. we are not going to get too much rain and that storm is tracking to the north—west of the uk. a little bit of rain perhaps on thursday coming from the tail end of this weather front, eventually bringing rain to wales and the south—west. the winds are yet to really pick up so temperatures getting to 21 degrees, a bit like today in fact. recent runs of the computer model have pushed the area of low pressure further away from the uk, so the wind is not looking quite a scary as this time yesterday, that we still

have some tropical wind so temperatures should be higher to end the week. we start with patchy rain and drizzle for south—eastern areas, that will move through, then we have some sunshine, a few showers, lots of showers for western scotland and northern ireland where we have much stronger winds but still making 18 degrees in glasgow. across the eastern side of england, this is where we will see the highest temperatures, possibly even 2a celsius.
