good morning. welcome to breakfast, with me charlie stayt here in downing street and mega munchetty in the studio. our headlines today... the battle to replace borisjohnson as conservative party leader begins after the prime minister admits his time is up. mps tom tugendhat and suella braverman have confirmed their intention to run, with rishi sunak and sajid javid expected to join the race, too. borisjohnson is being urged to leave now by some tories, rather than stay as a caretaker prime minister. labour says it will call for a vote of no confidence

in the government, if he doesn't go immediately. also, formerjapanese prime minister shinzo abe has been shot during a speech at a campaign event. good morning from wimbledon, where rafael nadal has withdrawn from the semi finals with injury. the dramatic exit by the two—time wimbledon champion means nick kyrios gets a bye to the final to play either novak djokovic, or britain's cameron norrie. they play their semi today. plenty of blue sky and sunshine for many of us over the next couple of days. we also see high temperatures. i will be back with the latest forecast. it's friday, the 8th ofjuly. our main story. the race to replace borisjohnson has started, following the prime minister's resignation as conservative party leader, after days of mutiny within his government. he's proposing to stay on in a caretaker role until a successor is chosen. but some tories are urging him to go

now, including former prime minister sirjohn major. our political correspondent, ione wells, reports. behind the doors of number 10 this morning, things are very different from yesterday. on wednesday night, the message was that the prime minister was going to fight on. by 9am on thursday, he was going to step down as conservative party leader. tory mps have spent weeks frustrated at number 10 changing their line, whether that be over downing street parties or what the prime minister knew about sexual misconduct allegations against his former deputy chief whip, chris pincher. but this time, the change of line was welcomed by many of them. it is clearly now the will of the parliamentary conservative party that there should be a new leader of that party and therefore a new prime minister. so i want to say to the millions

of people who voted for us in 2019 — many of them voting conservative for the first time — thank you for that incredible mandate. in the end, it was his own mps that pushed him. as we've seen at westminster, the herd instinct is powerful. and when the herd moves, it moves. and, my friends, in politics, no—one is remotely indispensable. not even the prime minister himself. with so many of his ministers resigning from government, many questioned if there would be enough tory mps left to replace them. but replace them he did, in a swift cabinet reshuffle yesterday morning. he's conceded this cabinet won't be making big changes, more just holding the fort until a successor is announced. a timetable for that tory leadership contest will be announced next week by the backbench 1922 committee of tory mps. but, unofficially,

it's already underway. backbench mp tom tugendhat has declared he will be running. the attorney general, suella braverman, says she'll throw her hat in the ring. reporter: do you regret standing by the prime minister for so long? | arch brexiteer steve baker has hinted as much, too. it's understood the former chancellor, rishi sunak, and the man who took over from him, nadhim zahawi, have campaigns underway, and that sajid javid, who resigned as health secretary and transport secretary, grant shapps, are seriously considering a pop at the top job. thank you all very much. thank you. a new leader, who will become prime minister, is expected by september. they'll first need the backing of enough tory mps. the final two will fight it out for votes from tory members. in the meantime, borisjohnson remains behind these doors, home for now with his wife and children. he'll still host cabinet with his new set of ministers.

but this isn't the end of the tory discontent. some of his mps think he should have resigned as prime minister, too, and left immediately to let someone else steer the ship that he can no longer summon the authority to captain. ione wells, bbc news. well, i'mjoined now by our political correspondent nick eardley. nick, borisjohnson may have resigned as conservative party leader, he is still here at downing street and still prime minister. some have said that is not the right thing to do now.— thing to do now. there is a lot of anuer thing to do now. there is a lot of anger and _ thing to do now. there is a lot of anger and bad — thing to do now. there is a lot of anger and bad blood _ thing to do now. there is a lot of anger and bad blood in _ thing to do now. there is a lot of anger and bad blood in the - anger and bad blood in the conservative party about what has happened over the last few days. some of those who resigned in the last 48 hours think the man behind that door needs to go immediately. it is hard to see how that would happen because he doesn't want to leave before a new leader is

elected. my understanding is that process will probably take until the start of september. i think it is likely we will have borisjohnson in number 10 for a few weeks yet. extraordinary scenes here yesterday, after he went back in that door. i think we can see images of what went on behind the famous black door, borisjohnson with his family, his wife and one of his kids was there. some ministers who had stayed loyal to him until the last moment, some of his closest aides. what does all this mean for the country? what does it mean for people at home? i do not think we will get any major policy is out of number 10 in the next few weeks. as well as the personnel element of this, the anger at boris johnson personally, there are some who are nervous there could be a bit of a state of paralysis. the cost of living crisis would people really

worried about their bills, we have got ukraine in the northern ireland legislation going through parliament. there are big decisions that need to be taken and some are nervous it will not get done. this procedure _ nervous it will not get done. this procedure of _ nervous it will not get done. this procedure of conservative leader resigning and remaining as prime minister, it is not the first time it has happened. a lot of people will point to and say, it can work. it happens all the time. it happened when theresa may stood down. she stayed in for a few weeks well boris johnson was chosen. david cameron stayed in as well. that is when he found out he was about to leave imminently. what will happen now is there will be a nomination to bunch of conservative mps. there will be a nomination to bunch of conservative mp5. i will be a lot

in the first phases, it will be whittled down to two in the next fortnight. by the time parliament breaks the summer it could be down to a shortlist of two. assuming both candidates want to stay in the race and neither pulls out, we could be in for a fascinating few weeks. the prime minister is obviously calling the shots, it will be different. fine the shots, it will be different. one new cabinet _ the shots, it will be different. que: new cabinet minister, robert buckland when new welsh secretary, said yesterday that boris johnson agreed he was wholly caretaker. his job is to keep their show on the road over the next few weeks. i do not think his cabinet would let him make any decisions. it is a strange cabinet. that is not borisjohnson's top team, it is the team he could get into place yesterday while he was trying to figure out how to keep the wheels on the bus. it does make

a lot of tory mps are nervous about what the next few weeks could look like. ., , , ., like. you will be with us all morning- _ later this morning, i'll be speaking to james cleverly, who was made education secretary, we will be talking to him later. so far, we've had attorney general suella braverman and backbencher tom tugendhat throw their hats in the ring for the next tory leader. but who are the other potential runners and riders? at cabinet on tuesday, borisjohnson was circled by possible successors. some have been campaigning quietly for months, eyeing up the topjob, waiting for the gun to be fired. you could be hearing a lot from these names over the summer. the next prime minister will be picked by the tory party and it's likely to be a crowded field with no obvious front runner. so who might enter the race? well, there's rishi sunak, chancellor of the exchequer, until he quit on tuesday. he is believed to be putting a leadership team together, but some tory mps are cross

he didn't cut taxes. sajid javid has stood for leader before and was the first cabinet minister to resign this week. the foreign secretary liz truss has never hidden her intentions. she voted remain in 2016 but has been a fierce defender of brexit ever since. the grass roots seem to like her. penny mordaunt is a royal navy reservist, and defence secretary under theresa may, now widely thought to be gunning for the top job. and there's nadhim zahawi, appointed chancellor this week and ambitious, as they all are. the government's top legal officer, suella braverman, has already put her hat in the ring, and was gently teased about it by labour. and can i say what an honour it is to be at this dispatch box facing the next prime minister, as she awaits her call from the palace. attorney general. i know the right honourable lady loves to degrade these this question

sessions to petty politics. i'm not going to lower myself to her standards. the list goes on. there's a lot of chat about ben wallace, the defence secretary, and grant shapps, the transport secretary, is also seriously considering a run for leader. then there are the dark horses. backbencher tom tugendhat launches his leadership bid in the daily telegraph. and there are more. i've had enough experience within government to know i can chair the meetings, i can lead the people, i have, the ideas, i can mobilise secretaries of state to do what needs to be done. i'm absolutely confident, if i seize power, i'd do a good job. borisjohnson plans to stick around as prime minister, while tory mps and party members plough through the process of picking a new leader. but the rules for this election are not nailed down yet, and there are tory mps who want to see mrjohnson out sooner. i think what we need to do is appoint a caretaker this weekend, somebody who won't run to be leader. i really worry, otherwise, we're going to get into a febrile, hotjuly coronation of somebody in a hurry. and are you going

to have a crack at it? no, i won't be running, but i will be working this summer to make sure we get the right person. this is crucial. we're in the last chance saloon. this party is packed with talent. the public haven't seen enough of it. restoring some calm after the chaos, rebuilding trust in political standards, the candidates will argue about the direction of the tory party, but they will all agree the culture of leadership has to change. ben wright, bbc news, westminster. let's take a look at what this morning's papers are reporting. see how they are reading the story this morning. the front page of the times when using the picture where we are now, directly outside downing street. one of the quotes from yesterday... i tried to persuade my colleagues it would be eccentric to change government when the herd moves, it needs. many will be picking over their words from yesterday. some of the shots we used

earlier in our reports were just inside downing street, the family moments. i believe this shot was immediately afterwards. the personal photographers inside downing street take some of these images, kiss goodbye. those are the pictures from the sun. very different take on the guardian, as you might imagine. just reviewing similar numbers from yesterday. 59 resignations in all, unrepentant says the guardian. it is over, almost. the reference to the fact he remains as prime minister, caretaker prime minister for the immediate period. i also had the guardian. the daily mirror, leave means leave, boris. clinging on for one last party. this is a reference, you may have seen this story, a reference to the fact that boris johnson has planned a wedding bash at chequers, i think this is in july, july the 30th byjust making

reference to the fact he will still be there. we will be looking through more details about how in practice it will work with a caretaker prime minister later in the programme. right now, the sun is shining over downing street in central london where we are now. how is it looking elsewhere? pretty good if you like sunshine and dry weather. plenty more of that to come. we have an area of high pressure building. we will see that in a moment. thank you for the gorgeous weather watcher pictures. since first night they have been flooding in. keep those coming. let's have a look at the high pressure, tucked away down here at the moment. there is quite a bit of ploughed around. this weather front is going to shimmy into northern parts of the uk, introducing more cloud and patchy like rain and drizzle into northern ireland, western parts of scotland. —— light

rain. getting cloudier through the central belt, dumfries and by and cambria as well. in the south it will be drier, brighter and warmer. this is where we will see the top temperatures today. in the south—east it could be 27, 28. 15 in the north of scotland today. we have to talk about uv levels. we have high, very high uv levels in the south. becoming medium or low. the bbc weather app has all the latest wherever you are as far as uby and pollen is concerned. on the pressure chart, there is the high pressure. creeping in across much of the uk as we head through the weekend and will introduce a settled story. breezing introduce a settled story. breezing in places across northern parts. mist and fog were clear. tomorrow we're still seeing a bit of a breeze

across coastal parts. more by way of brightness and dryer weather. showers drifting into the north—west and parts of scotland, the the hebrides. temperatures... a similar sort of thing. you get 26, 20 seven celsius across more southern parts and that's where we will see the more prolonged spells of sunshine as well. on sunshine we will see more cloud further west and further north. northern ireland looking better here if we like the sunshine that still cloudy in the north and west of scotland in particular. cooler once more. further south and further east with the temperature is rising, 28, 20 nine celsius on sunday. with high pressure nearby over the next couple of days, we are hanging onto the dry theme. more in the way of ploughed on tuesday. as for the temperatures, if the hot weather is not for you, there is not

very much relief over the next couple of days and into next week. it will be warm, sunny, do not forget about the high uv levels. we will keep you posted, of course. that is how it is looking. japan's former prime minister, shinzo abe, has been taken to hospital after being shot multiple times while delivering a speech in western japan. national media is reporting that he's showing "no vital signs." we're joined now by our reporter mariko oi. what more do we know at the moment? the latest, as ijust said, the former prime minister showing no vital signs. former prime minister showing no vital sins. ., former prime minister showing no vital sins. . , . former prime minister showing no vitalsians. . , ., former prime minister showing no vital sins. . , . . , , vital signs. that is what has been re orted, vital signs. that is what has been reported, though, _ vital signs. that is what has been reported, though, as _ vital signs. that is what has been reported, though, as you - vital signs. that is what has been reported, though, as you can - reported, though, as you can imagine, information is quite conflicting so far. some media were quoting, officials saying he showed

no vital signs while others were quoted as saying he was ok earlier when he was taken to hospital by helicopter. what we do know for sure, people had two gunshots. because gun crimes are so rare in japan, not many thought it was an actual gun. then shinzo abe fell to the ground and police officers rushed to catch the suspect, who is now in police custody. he is a 42—year—old man who lives in the city where shinzo abe was making a speech. the suspect is believed to be a former maritime self—defence force. he had two guns, one home—made. force. he had two guns, one home-made.— force. he had two guns, one home-made. ~ . , ., , home-made. what we understand is the man offered no — home-made. what we understand is the man offered no resistance _ home-made. what we understand is the man offered no resistance when - man offered no resistance when police, security detained him soon after shinzo abe had been shot. indeed. we saw quite a lot of footage, assuming he was shot by

some of the bystanders on the street, which show the suspect basically was very quiet when the police officers chased after him. of course, since then, we saw some pictures of shinzo abe being taken to the hospital and we are currently waiting for the latest announcement from a government official about his latest condition. because gun crimes are very rare, especially against a politician, a lot of shock among the public. my phone hasn't stopped ringing, all my friends and family members are very shocked to hear this news. shinzo abe was the longest serving prime minister in japan. he was a divisive figure. he had a frosty relationship with summerjapan's neighbours like china and south korea, for example. he was quite controversial and has been recently criticised for having a very close relationship with mr putin since russia invaded ukraine as well. , , .,

the former prime minister ofjapan, shinzo abe, who has been shot. countries around the world have been reacting to boris johnson's resignation. in his nightly address, the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, expressed sadness at the news. we are joined now by our news correspondent, joe inwood, who's in kyiv. it is interesting, isn't it? the relationship between presidents lenski and borisjohnson certainly has not been underplayed. —— president zelensky. he has not been underplayed. -- president zelensky.— has not been underplayed. -- president zelensky. he gave the first minute _ president zelensky. he gave the first minute and _ president zelensky. he gave the first minute and a _ president zelensky. he gave the first minute and a half— president zelensky. he gave the first minute and a half of- president zelensky. he gave the first minute and a half of his - first minute and a half of his nightly address as a tribute to borisjohnson. there is a close relationship between the two men. as much as borisjohnson has become a divisive figure in the uk, here in ukraine he is extremely popular. yesterday i was at a bakery where they have developed a tribute to him. they do really, really value

him. they do really, really value him here and that is because of the huge amount of support given by the government and the british taxpayers to their war effort. his leadership was praised. he went through the weaponry provided by the british government. one thing that is important to stay, as much as there is a personal affection for boris johnson, they do know it was not him personally paying for all of this and it was the relationship between the two governments. they are confident the high level of support will continue no matter who is in number 10. we will continue no matter who is in number10-_ will continue no matter who is in number10. ~ , ., , ., number 10. we will get updates from ou number 10. we will get updates from you throughout _ number 10. we will get updates from you throughout the _ number 10. we will get updates from you throughout the morning. - tributes have been paid to the actorjames caan — best known for playing the gangster sonny corleone in the godfather — who has died at the age of 82. our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba has been looking back on his long career.

james caan, as sonny corleone, the eldest son of the fearsome godfather. caan perfectly portrayed the character's quick—tempered, reckless nature, and he showed he could hold his own against the likes of marlon brando. are you telling me that italians guarantee our investment? waita minute. almost. he also demonstrated his lightness of touch. you know, if you could sing half as good as you could yell, we'd have a hit. opposite barbra streisand in funny lady. all right, all right, all right. listen. we had a little a little technical trouble in the first act. that is all. a little technical trouble! the trouble we got in both acts is we've got an amateur producer... but at times, his party lifestyle threatened to overshadow his career. there was alcohol and drugs, and he spent months living at the playboy mansion of his friend, hugh hefner. it was confinement at a very different kind of venue that helped reestablish him as a star.

in misery, he played a writer imprisoned by his number one fan... you. ..and who fought back against his captor. remember how, for all those years, nobody knew who misery�*s real father was. it's all right here. dad! and for a whole new generation, he was the reluctant father in christmas favourite, elf. # come on. # it's lovely weather...# dad! hi. it's me! announcing his death on social media, the caan family said... actor gary sinise paid tribute, saying... while adam sandler said... from the murderous son of a mobster, to eventual loving father, james caan

could do it all. plenty more coming up from downing street. we will keep you up—to—date with the news, weather and sports. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. the london 2012 olympics and paralympic games did not boost participation in grassroots sports as was "hoped for at the time," according to a public spending watchdog. a report by the national audit office — ten years on from the london olympics — found the government commitment to the legacy of the games had "waned" just four years after they had taken place. sport participation rates did increase, but the progress was "lost" during the pandemic. the government says it recognises there is more to do and will publish

a revised sports strategy in the coming months. 4g coverage is set to be expanded to a further five tube stations across the tube network over the next six months. among them are oxford circus, tottenham court road, and camden town. it's part of ongoing work to rollout 4g and 5g coverage across the entire network, including tunnels, by the summer of 2023. the uefa women's euros tournament arrives in the capital today, with brentford community stadium hosting the first of four games in the competition, with the final being held at wembley. germany take on denmark at the west london venue tonight. it comes after the lionesses won their first match on tuesday. now, are you afraid of spiders? it's a common phobia, but one that zsl london zoo could now help with. their "friendly spider programme" aims to help people overcome arachnophobia through a combination of cognitive behavioural therapy and hypnotherapy.

i can actually empathise with a lot of people who've got a fear of spiders, because i started off being scared of them. i got over it by going cold turkey with someone putting a big spider on my hand. it did work for me. and as you see, i actually work with spiders now, i'm surrounded by them. let's have a look at how public transport is shaping up this morning. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. now the weather forecast. good morning. it's a dry, bright start this morning. lots of sunshine. high pressure is still in charge. it's to the west of the uk. across the weekend, itjust starts to nudge in a little bit further east. now, for today, you can see there's really not a lot of cloud in the forecast. it's just blue sky and sunshine, the wind light and the temperatures feeling warm, maximum 29 celsius. now, into this evening, it stays fine, it stays dry. a lot of sunshine, and its warm before the sun sets. then overnight, it stays dry and clear, the minimum temperature between 12 and 15 celsius. a bright start to the weekend.

you can see the high pressurejust starting to move a little bit further east through saturday. again, plenty of sunshine. there's really not a lot of cloud through saturday, perhaps a little bit of fair weather cloud bubbling up. that's about it. and the temperature tomorrow feeling warm, too, at around 27 celsius, a degree or two cooler now. of course, it's wimbledon finals weekend, should stay dry throughout that, high pressure for sunday. staying with us and the temperature feeling a little bit warmer on sunday, we could see 29 or 30 celsius into next week. not a lot of rain in the forecast, if any. not great news for gardeners and growers, but temperatures potentially next week in the low 30s. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. good morning. we're reflecting this morning on the contest to find the uk's next prime minister —

our third in three years. it comes after borisjohnson announced his decision to step down following a wave of resignations. it is clearly now the will of the parliamentary— it is clearly now the will of the parliamentary conservative i it is clearly now the will of the i parliamentary conservative party that there — parliamentary conservative party that there should _ parliamentary conservative party that there should be _ parliamentary conservative party that there should be a _ parliamentary conservative party that there should be a new- parliamentary conservative partyi that there should be a new leader parliamentary conservative party . that there should be a new leader of that there should be a new leader of that party, _ that there should be a new leader of that party, and — that there should be a new leader of that party, and therefore _ that there should be a new leader of that party, and therefore a -

his or her own team in place. but who will it be? there are just a few official candidates so far. tom tugendhat has launched his bid in today's telegraph, suella braverman was first to throw her hat in the ring, and steve baker has indicated he's likely to enter the fray. others are widely expected to follow suit, including rishi sunak and sajid javid, the first to trigger the avalanche of resignations. also nadhim zahawi, liz truss, penny mordaunt and the current bookies' favourite ben wallace. so when can we expect to see a new conservative leader, and just how straightforward is the process? on monday, the timetable will be decided by the leadership of the 1922 committee of backbench conservative mps. any candidate needs the support of at least eight conservative mps to be nominated. then a series of votes among conservatives mps will take place, whittling down the list

of candidates to the last two. those two names will then go forward to a vote of all conservative party members — around 200,000 — who will choose the new leader. whoever gets the job will be greeted by an extremely full in—tray. they'll need to navigate issues like the war in ukraine, the cost of living crisis, and the growing tension in northern ireland over post—brexit trade arrangements. away from westminster, we've been getting the reaction to boris johnson's resignation. jayne is in the lancashire town of garstang, which falls within defence secretary ben wallace's constituency — who, as we've just been hearing, is an early favourite to take over as conservative party leader. good morning. morning. a lovely day down here- — good morning. morning. a lovely day down here. this _ good morning. morning. a lovely day down here. this is _ good morning. morning. a lovely day down here. this is like _ good morning. morning. a lovely day down here. this is like the _ down here. this is like the geographical heart of the

time looking at, something really interesting happened in the 19 general election, every single political party made gains in 2019 apart from labour. labour was the only party to make losses in 2019. when i went out yesterday and spoke to people about borisjohnson and asked them what they thought of keir starmer, the reaction wasn't tremendous, i have to say. so there is certainly a cult of personality that was an boris johnson's favour at the sight of his election campaign, and he has come undone now, but keir starmer also has a fight of both hands to win votes. the polls put labour in a good position at the moment, but what happens next? who knows? so

interesting when you talk about the culture of personality and how much it matters, and there will be talking to angela rayner, liber�*s deputy leader, we will put some of thoseissues deputy leader, we will put some of those issues to haswell. —— took power as well. i think mike is going to trumpjane at wimbledon with the flowers. you are bathed in sunshine with gorgeous flowers. good morning. this is the broadcast centre roof. this is the broadcast centre roof. this is the broadcast centre roof. this is for the journalist, this is the broadcast centre roof. this is for thejournalist, look this is the broadcast centre roof. this is for the journalist, look at the displays. can britain's number one cam norrie cars the upset to beat nowak djokovic and beat the

final? there was drama at the all england club last night when two—time champion rafa nadal pulled out of this year's competition through injury. it means his opponent nick kyrgios will automatically go through to the final, asjoe wilson reports. he came to wimbledon to practise, to try, but a glimpse of rafael nadal�*s torso, however sculpted, reveals the problem. do you see the tape on there? an abdominal tear obviously hampered him during his quarterfinal. he'd considered retiring during that match, but 24 hours later, he'd run out of options. it's obvious that if i keep going, the injury is going to be worse and worse. and and that's the thing that i

can say now and feel very sad to say that. nadal first won wimbledon in 2008, then again in 2010. his two grand slam titles this year took his total to 22. but the most successful men's player ever has to manage his career, and thus reluctantly withdraws. there are immediate consequences here. nick kyrgios, with no semifinal opponent, is through to his first grand slam final. cameron norrie looked fit and well on the practice courts preparing for the biggest match of his life, the semifinal that remains against novak djokovic, who's perfectly familiar with these occasions. and remember, he's chasing nadal�*s all—time record of grand slam titles. rafa nadal will be 37 next summer. does he, do we, dare look that far ahead? joe wilson, bbc news, wimbledon. well, history was made here on centre court yesterday, as tunisian ons jabeur became the first arab player to reach a grand slam singles final in the open era. she beat german tatjana maria

in the women's semifinals in three sets. the pair are good friends, and often stay at each other�*s houses when on the tour, but it was the world number two jabeur that came through. and she will face elena rybakina in the final. playing for the first time on centre court, she beat the 2019 champion simona halep for the first time in her career. at 23 years old, she becomes the youngest wimbledon women's singles finalist since garbine muguruza in 2015. i want to see more and more notjust tunisian, arab, african players on tour. ijust love, love the game and i want to share this experience with them. i see thejuniors playing here, i saw some players, and i hope they really grow up and and be here, play here on the centre court. britain's neal skupski and american desirae krawcyzk won the mixed doubles title for the second year in a row. they beat australia's matthew ebden and sam stosur on centre court in straight sets, 6—4 6—3. they are the first pair to successfully defend the mixed doubles title at wimbledon for 25 years.

alfie hewett beat his doubles partner gordon reid to reach the semi—finals of the wheelchair singles in front of a packed crowd on court 14, although he was disappointed it wasn't on a court with a bigger capacity. the all england club say wheelchair tennis matches will be on show courts from now on. so that was yesterday. today, it's the defending champion novak djokovic against britain's cameron norrie. it's his first visit to the last four of a grand slam, after a rapid rise over the last couple of years to the top of the game. and two—time wimbledon champion andy murray says norrie deserves to be competing for the biggest titles in the sport. northern ireland made their debut at the women's european championship last night — they lost 4—1 to norway, butjulie nelson made a little bit of history as she scored their first goal at a major tournament. jane dougall was there to see it. a first major tournament.

some have known nothing else. others have suffered years of disappointment. but now, all young fans can picture themselves playing for their country. what's incredible is that the northern ireland players are not professional. they all have dayjobs. the squad is made up of nhs staff, teachers, and shop workers who now all have the hopes of a nation resting on their shoulders, walking out to make history. the debutants under the watchful eye of their seasoned manager. could the sisters in arms complete the fairy tale? after nine minutes, it seemed unlikely. norway looking organised. a second swiftly followed, and northern ireland were defending for their lives. brilliant block. but an arm in the box led to a penalty. decisively struck. the second half saw

a sharper northern ireland. from a corner, the veteranjulie nelson got her head on the ball. and northern ireland have scored! ..sending the crowd into raptures. the euphoria didn't last long. a beautifully placed free kick brought them back down to earth. a predictable loss, perhaps, but this night won't be remembered for the 4—1scoreline. instead, the fans will hold on to the memory of a first ever international tournament goal for northern ireland women. jane dougall, bbc news, southampton. northern ireland are in action again on sunday and here at wimbledon, all the talk is about the semifinal between cameron norrie and novak djokovic, that is up on centre court second today. cam norrie have this

redemption moment about seven years ago, fell off his bike after having too much to drink. today, he is in the semifinal of a grand slam. the flowers make such a difference for us, what an office, what a studio. we could have a little floral display back there on the sofa, couldn't we? i have put the request in. how gutted are people that rafael nadal isn't playing? there were such great hopes, you look at the big four, you know they are still brilliant, but nearing the end of their careers and people are talking about who are the up—and—coming ones, to grasp saint nadal playing is such a joy, feels

like such a treat. huge disappointment and shock, when i was out for dinner last night, people in the local were talking about it, saying how disappointed they were. he is 36, he has come through injury problems before, but he said this one felt different, he did not want to push it too much. it is very sad to push it too much. it is very sad to pull out but he said he had no choice, such as the pain of this recent muscle tear. he did not feel he could do himselfjustice and serve properly in that semifinal against kyrgios. great things to look forward to. keep smelling nice, mike. here's owain with a look at this morning's weather. are you ready for the sunshine? that is what we have coming over the next few days. i know he does not for

everyone, we will see temperatures rise significantly especially as we had to next week. some gorgeous pictures this morning, thanks for those, lovely blue sky. not addressing this, look at this, a little bit of drama. dramatic picture from the highlands, a bit of a contrast, some of us are seeing some show, some of us see cloud, and the cloud as a result of this, a week where the front pushing into parts of northern scotland, cloud into northern ireland and probably parts of northern england as well, as we had to be gay. mist and fog around in places across the central parts of england and wales, that will clear. there is the weather front now, a weak feature introducing that cloud is an through northern ireland, just tilting down into the borders, dumfries and galloway, then further south. north of this, cooler, likely to see more cloud here, some light rain and drizzle as well, when is further south we will see more of sunshine, blue sky, rising temperatures, that

sort of thing. 2728 celsius our house today, high or very high yield evils —— uv levels and pollen levels as well. high pressure now taking charge as we look towards the weekend, and as a result, more on the way of drier and brighter weather. a bit breezy bluster to the across northern parts of scotland. still breezy tomorrow, some rain moving into north—western parts, more likely to see some brightness across northern ireland and some sunny spells. and much of england and wales, if you like the sunshine, it is looking good, we will see plenty of that. top temperatures between 15 and 26 celsius. over the next couple of days, more drier and brighter weather. a quick look at sunday, cloud again through northern ireland, which will clear. still

cloudy across western parts, and breezy, top temperatures in a similar place, 20 or 29 celsius on sunday. still warm and sunny. we needed to rain and make them to be sunny during the day, then everybody would be happy. —— rain at night and be sunny during the day. let's return to charlie now, who is in downing street for us this morning. you are certainly in the right place for raised temperatures. it is a curious atmosphere here this morning after the frenzy of the build—up yesterday morning, you will remember the scene yesterday as the prime

minister emerged from number ten and tendered his resignation. a different feel this morning, a lot of the few questions about what happens next, though issues about the caretaker prime minister, given what has been said about boris johnson and how in brightness a government will run in these circumstances. i'm joined now by sir ed davey, leader of the liberal democrats. first of all your assessment of what you heard yesterday.— you heard yesterday. liberal democrats _ you heard yesterday. liberal democrats have _ you heard yesterday. liberal democrats have been - you heard yesterday. liberal| democrats have been calling you heard yesterday. liberal- democrats have been calling for borisjohnson to go for months, we welcome his decision at long last, but i have to say the conservative mps who have kept a power and propped up, they have a heavy burden to bear, they should take responsibility for what they did. there has been no plan from the conservatives, and millions of families and pensioners have suffered as a result. people unable to put food on the table, cannot

afford to fill up their car, worrying about heating builds in the winter, the conservative government under borisjohnson has not helped them, has not offered to help they really need. and conservative mps have allowed that to happen, so from a lib dem perspective, we have been extremely allowed that this whole saga has dragged on while millions of people are facing the gust of living emergency. you of people are facing the gust of living emergency.— of people are facing the gust of living emergency. you will know it is normal brightness _ living emergency. you will know it is normal brightness for _ living emergency. you will know it is normal brightness for a - living emergency. you will know it | is normal brightness for a caretaker prime minister —— normal practice, do you think that is the right thing in this circumstance?— in this circumstance? absolutely not, in this circumstance? absolutely not. itoris _ in this circumstance? absolutely not, boris johnson _ in this circumstance? absolutely not, boris johnson is _ in this circumstance? absolutely not, boris johnson is unusual, . in this circumstance? absolutely i not, boris johnson is unusual, you not, borisjohnson is unusual, you broke the law, he lied and was dishonest on an industrial scale, he is incompetent. and i think previous prime ministers, even if i disagreed

with them, when they have tendered their resignation, nobody felt that they wouldn't put the national interest first, but i'm afraid with borisjohnson, he always puts his own interest first, and i think conservative mps have got to get rid of them today. it is ludicrous for him to be a caretaker prime minister, who has never cared all that love her anything in his life, he destroys things. on behalf of the british people, i really think conservative mps have to take some responsibility and get rid of him. the deputy prime minister could step in, for example. the deputy prime minister could step in. for example-— in, for example. what will you be doinu to in, for example. what will you be doing to make — in, for example. what will you be doing to make that _ in, for example. what will you be doing to make that happen? - in, for example. what will you be doing to make that happen? will| in, for example. what will you be - doing to make that happen? will you be pushing for a confidence vote? i think there needs to be cross—party support for a vote of no confidence in this prime minister as a caretaker premier list. let in this prime minister as a caretaker premier list. let me ask ou caretaker premier list. let me ask you directly. _ caretaker premier list. let me ask

court today he would face nicky rios in the final on sunday. sunshine for many of us in the next few days. i will be back with the latest forecast. —— nick kyrgios in the final. it's friday, the 8th ofjuly. our main story. the race to replace borisjohnson has started, following the prime minister's resignation as conservative party leader, after days of mutiny within his government. he's proposing to stay on in a caretaker role until a successor is chosen, but some tories are urging him to go now, including former prime minister sirjohn major. our political correspondent ione wells reports. behind the doors of number 10 this morning, things are very different from yesterday. on wednesday night, the message was that the prime minister was going to fight on. by 9am on thursday, he was going to step down as conservative party leader.

tory mps have spent weeks frustrated at number 10 changing their line, whether that be over downing street parties or what the prime minister knew about sexual misconduct allegations against his former deputy chief whip, chris pincher. but this time, the change of line was welcomed by many of them. it is clearly now the will of the parliamentary conservative party that there should be a new leader of that party and therefore a new prime minister. so i want to say to the millions of people who voted for us in 2019 — many of them voting conservative for the first time — thank you for that incredible mandate. in the end, it was his own mps that pushed him. as we've seen at westminster, the herd instinct is powerful. and when the herd moves, it moves. and, my friends, in politics, no—one is remotely indispensable. not even the prime minister himself.

with so many of his ministers resigning from government, many questioned if there would be enough tory mps left to replace them. but replace them he did, in a swift cabinet reshuffle yesterday morning. he's conceded this cabinet won't be making big changes, more just holding the fort until a successor is announced. a timetable for that tory leadership contest will be announced next week by the backbench1922 committee of tory mps. but, unofficially, it's already underway. backbench mp tom tugendhat has declared he will be running. the attorney general, suella braverman, says she'll throw her hat in the ring. reporter: do you regret standing by the prime minister for so long? | arch brexiteer steve baker has hinted as much, too. it's understood the former chancellor, rishi sunak, and the man who took over from him, nadhim zahawi, have campaigns underway, and that sajid javid,

who resigned as health secretary and transport secretary, grant shapps, are seriously considering a pop at the top job. thank you all very much. thank you. a new leader, who will become prime minister, is expected by september. they'll first need the backing of enough tory mps. the final two will fight it out for votes from tory members. in the meantime, borisjohnson remains behind these doors, home for now with his wife and children. he'll still host cabinet with his new set of ministers. but this isn't the end of the tory discontent. some of his mps think he should have resigned as prime minister, too, and left immediately to let someone else steer the ship that he can no longer summon the authority to captain. ione wells, bbc news. well, i'mjoined now by our political correspondent nick eardley. just picking up on some of the

phrases we used. a caretaker prime minister who is holding the fort. how does that work?— minister who is holding the fort. how does that work? boris johnson cannot change _ how does that work? boris johnson cannot change directional— how does that work? boris johnson cannot change directional get - how does that work? boris johnson cannot change directional get to i how does that work? boris johnson | cannot change directional get to any controversial policies. there is a question about what might happen to some of the stuff already in parliament that has not been decided upon yet, like the privatisation of channel 4 or reform to the human rights act. even changes to the northern ireland protocol, the post—brexit situation with trade in northern ireland. there are questions over exactly what boris johnson will be able to do in the next few weeks. the main reason for that, he does not really have the support of the parliamentary party any more, he not have support from many of the cabinet to make the controversial calls. he is basically holding the fault while the conservative party work out who their new leader and next prime minister is. i

their new leader and next prime minister is-_ minister is. i know there was a first cabinet — minister is. i know there was a first cabinet meeting - minister is. i know there was a | first cabinet meeting yesterday minister is. i know there was a i first cabinet meeting yesterday of these people who had been pulled together. there were pictures of that. they'll gathered around the table. there was business being somehow. then there was the private side of inside number 10. we are seeing the pictures of their first meeting. that is an interesting moment in itself, isn't it? it was amazin: moment in itself, isn't it? it was amazing seeing _ moment in itself, isn't it? it was amazing seeing nadhim - moment in itself, isn't it? it was amazing seeing nadhim zahawil moment in itself, isn't it? it was i amazing seeing nadhim zahawi sitting right next to the prime minister. he broke the news that a day after being appointed as chancellor he was saying the prime minister had to go. remarkable how quickly it'll happen. what struck me about borisjohnson yesterday, he was pretty defiant until the end. he was talking about the herd mentality and the conservative party. he feels hard done by. speaking to tory mps yesterday, some of his critics would say, a lot of voters feel the same.

he was popular with a lot of people and a lot of viewers who might think why has this happened? such a level of distrust and anger at the way number 10 dealt with recent scandals. the partyjust had enough. when we saw photos of borisjohnson, i am not sure if we can see them now have him going behind the back door immediately after making the speech. he was with his family. some loyal ministers, the ones who had stuck by him till the very end but in there as well. you can see him with his child. he wanted to give that projection he was leaving but he was not downcast by it all. he feels hard done by but he is still this bullish this jewish hard done by but he is still this bullish thisjewish prime minister who thinks he had a lot to offer. —— boosterish prime minister. aha,

who thinks he had a lot to offer. -- boosterish prime minister. a thought from ou boosterish prime minister. a thought from you about _ boosterish prime minister. a thought from you about who _ boosterish prime minister. a thought from you about who might _ boosterish prime minister. a thought from you about who might take i boosterish prime minister. a thought from you about who might take over. the process is fairly complicated. now it is about people saying they are interested. i now it is about people saying they are interested.— now it is about people saying they are interested. i have written down their names- _ are interested. i have written down their names. of— are interested. i have written down their names. of potentials? - are interested. i have written down their names. of potentials? only i are interested. i have written down their names. of potentials? only a | their names. of potentials? only a coule, their names. of potentials? only a couple. tom _ their names. of potentials? only a couple, tom tugendhat _ their names. of potentials? only a couple, tom tugendhat and - their names. of potentials? only a couple, tom tugendhat and suella i couple, tom tugendhat and suella braverman. there will be a lot of candidates this time next week. on monday, the conservative party in parliament will decide a timetable. they will have a list of maybe a dozen, maybe 15 people who put their hats in the ring. that will be whittled down to two by tory mps over the next fortnight by the summer break in parliament over the next couple of weeks, that will be down to two. it will then go to the tory party membership. we will have a new administration by the start of september. seems unlikely even the tory mps who are angry will be able

to get rid of borisjohnson before that time because there is not a mechanism for it. me that time because there is not a mechanism for it.— that time because there is not a mechanism for it. we will all become ex - erts mechanism for it. we will all become exerts on mechanism for it. we will all become experts on how— mechanism for it. we will all become experts on how the _ mechanism for it. we will all become experts on how the process - mechanism for it. we will all become experts on how the process works. i right now, let's have a look at more of the people who may be interested in the big job. borisjohnson was circled by possible successors on tuesday. some have been campaigning quietly for months, eyeing up the topjob, waiting for the gun quietly for months, eyeing up the top job, waiting for the gun to quietly for months, eyeing up the topjob, waiting for the gun to be fired. it could be hearing a lot from these names over the summer. the next prime minister will be picked by the tory party and it is likely to be a crowded field with no obvious front runner. he might enter the race? rishi sunak is believed to be putting a leadership team together but some tory mps across he did not cut taxes. sajid javid has stood the leader before and was the

first cabinet minister to resign this week. liz truss has never hidden her intentions. she voted to remain in 2016 but has been a fierce defender brexit ever since. the grassroots seem to like her. penny mordaunt was defence secretary under theresa may, now widely thought to be gunning for topjob. nadhim zahawi appointed chancellor this za hawi appointed chancellor this week zahawi appointed chancellor this week and ambitious, as they all are. the top legal officer suella braverman has a medical hat in the ring and was gently teased about it by labour. flan ring and was gently teased about it b labour. . , ring and was gently teased about it b labour. . _ ., ring and was gently teased about it b labour. . ..y ., ., ring and was gently teased about it b labour. . ., ., ., ., by labour. can i say, what an honour it is to be at — by labour. can i say, what an honour it is to be at this _ by labour. can i say, what an honour it is to be at this dispatch _ by labour. can i say, what an honour it is to be at this dispatch box - it is to be at this dispatch box facing their next prime minister as she awaits the call from the palace? i know the right honourable lady loves _ i know the right honourable lady loves to — i know the right honourable lady loves to degrade these questions session— loves to degrade these questions session is— loves to degrade these questions session is too petty politics. i am not going — session is too petty politics. i am not going to lower myself to her standards. not going to lower myself to her standards-— not going to lower myself to her standards. , ., , ., ., , ., standards. the list goes on. lots of chat about — standards. the list goes on. lots of chat about ben _ standards. the list goes on. lots of chat about ben wallace, _ standards. the list goes on. lots of

think he should have done it a long time ago. the fact he is trying to cling on for the next few months is completely unacceptable. he has been proven as a liar, someone engulfed in sleaze. the conservative party has propped him up forfar too long. we spoke to sir ed davey, leader of the liberal democrat earlier. one thing that charlie was trying to find out is the mechanism. the labour party has said it will call for a vote of no confidence if boris johnson isn't removed as caretaker prime minister. the mechanisms involved, what happens right now? sir ed davey was saying his chief whip would be having a conversation with his counterpart in the labour party. is that on the agenda for today? party. is that on the agenda for toda ? ~ ., party. is that on the agenda for toda? ., .,, ., , today? we told the conservatives they should _ today? we told the conservatives they should draw _ today? we told the conservatives they should draw a _ today? we told the conservatives they should draw a line _ today? we told the conservatives they should draw a line and i today? we told the conservatives they should draw a line and tell i they should draw a line and tell borisjohnson he has to go and has to go immediately. if he does not do that the labour party will bring

what is going on with the weather. hazy sunshine, it is about to break through in london. if people are opening their patterns, opening theirfront doors this opening their patterns, opening their front doors this morning and thinking, where is the sunshine? what is he on about? it is en route. we are going to the cloud in places. some lovely pictures coming in. this from paris, i do not know the name of the dog but he is very cute. you can see mist and fog in the valley with blue sky overhead. a lot of us are waking up this morning and seeing that. this weather front is draped across northern parts of the uk. scotland moving down into the north of england and northern ireland that will see what has to offer today. ireland that will see what has to offertoday. in ireland that will see what has to offer today. in the south high pressure is running the show giving us this sort of thing. easy across northern parts. the weatherfront producing thicker cloud and patchy

rain in northern ireland seven scotland, into the north of england. any mist and fog clearing. temperatures today in the south—east, this is where we see the highest temperatures, 28 celsius. very high uv levels in places and high or very high pollen levels. the bbc weather app has the latest where you are as far as that is concerned. over the next few days the high pressure wants to stick around and not going anywhere. it will bring more in the way of drier, brighter weather. if you like sunshine, gorgeous guy plenty of that. if the heat is not for you we will see the temperatures rise. —— gorgeous skies, plenty of that. more in a way of brightness in northern ireland and parts of scotland. temperatures are expected to rise significantly over the next couple of days. we will keep you posted. that is how it is looking.

japan's former prime minister, shinzo abe, is reported to be in a "very grave condition" after being shot multiple times while delivering a speech in western japan. the bbc�*s tokyo correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes has been following the latest developments. we know quite a lot more. we have video from the scene, photographs from the scene. what they show is former prime minister shinzo abe was standing on a street corner giving a speech. he has been doing this over the last few weeks, elections are being held here on sunday for the upper house, and he has been all over the country giving these speeches. suddenly, from behind, he was approached from behind by a man, who pulled out a gun. looks like it was some sort of sawn—off shotgun, and fired at him twice. mr abe then went down onto the ground. clearly, he had been hit, he was bleeding from the chest. his security team pounced on the man very, very quickly but it was too late, he had already discharged his gun. mr abe was then treated at the scene by paramedics, put in an ambulance and then taken to a nearby helicopter,

where he was helicoptered to a hospital in the city of nara, where he is now being treated. the latest reports from there, according to local media here in japan, is he is in a state of what they call cardiopulmonary arrest. that does not mean mr abe is confirmed as dead but it suggests he is in a very severe position, either close to death or we are waiting to hear that he has died. of course we will keep you updated with the very latest on the condition of the formerjapanese prime minister, shinzo abe. tributes have been paid to the actorjames caan — best known for playing the gangster sonny corleone in the godfather — who has died at the age of 82. it was his role in the 1972 mob drama that led to his only academy award nomination, for best

supporting actor. his other hit films included rollerball, misery and the festive classic elf. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. the london 2012 olympics and paralympic games did not boost participation in grassroots sports as was "hoped for at the time", according to a public spending watchdog. a report by the national audit office ten years on from the london games found the government commitment to the legacy of the games had "waned" just four years after they had taken place. the government says it recognises there is more to do and will publish a revised sports strategy in the coming months. 4g coverage is set to be expanded to a further five tube stations across the tube network over the next six months. among them are oxford circus, tottenham court road and camden town. it's part of ongoing work

to roll—out four and 5g coverage across the entire network, including tunnels, by the summer of 2023. london and parts of the south east are expected to experience a heatwave over the next few days, prompting a heat—health alert to be issued. today marks the beginning of a run of hot days until friday next week. temperatures are expected to get into the low 30s. the uk health security agency and the met office issued a level two warning— it's designed to help health care workers manage through periods of extreme temperatures and has four levels. now are you afraid of spiders? it's a common phobia but one that zsl london zoo could now help with. their friendly spider programme aims to help people overcome arachnophobia through a combination of cognitive behavioural therapy and hypnotherapy.

i got over my fear of spiders cold turkey. i am surrounded by spiders now! i am surrounded by spiders now! let's have a look at how public transport is shaping up this morning: all lines are running a good service. all lines are running now the weather with kate kinsella. it isa it is a dry, bright morning this morning. high pressure is in charge. for today, you can see there is not a lot of cloud in the forecast. it is just blue sky and sunshine, the wind is light and the temperature is feeling warm. a maximum of 29. into the evening it stays fine and dry, a lot of sunshine and it is warm. overnight it stays dry and clear. the minimum temperature between 12 and 15. plenty of sunshine, really not a lot of cloud through saturday.

a bit of fair weather cloud bubbling up a bit of fair weather cloud bubbling up but that is about it, and the temperature tomorrow feeling warm, too, at around 27 celsius. it is wimbledon finals weekend. it should stay dry throughout the high pressure for sunday, staying with us, and the temperature feeling warmer on sunday. we could see 29 or 30. next week, no rain in the forecast, temperatures potentially next week in the low 30s. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. goodye for now. good morning. we are trying to figure out through the haze what happens next after the prime minister resigned as leader of the conservative party. we are looking for a third prime minister in three

years. it comes after borisjohnson announced his decision to step down following a wave of resignations. it is clearly now the will- of the parliamentary conservative party that there should - be a new leader of that party, and therefore a new prime minister. and i have agreed with sir graham brady, i the chairman of our backbench mps, that the process of choosing that new leader should begin now. i i in the last few days, i have tried i to persuade my colleagues that it would be eccentric to change - government when we are delivering so much and have such a vast i mandate, and we are actually only each a handful of points behind i in the polls, even in midterm after quite a few months of pretty relentless sledging, _ and when the economic scene is so difficult domestically i and internationally. i regret not to have been- successful in those arguments, and it is painful not to be able to see through so many ideas| and projects myself. but as we have seen at westminster, the herd instinct is powerful. -

and in politics, nobody- is remotely indispensable. that speech went down well with boris johnson's staunch supporters but some people — including business leaders, opposition politicans, and senior conservatives — have said he should go sooner than the autumn. we are likely to get the timetable for the election to replace him as soon as next week. the former prime ministerjohn major wrote an open letter saying the current plan is "unwise" and "may be unsustainable." mrjohnson has already starting building a caretaker cabinet, which includes his friend james cleverly as the third education secretary this week. in all likelihood, they won't be in thejob for long, because the new leader will want to put his or her own team in place. but who will it be? tom tugendhat has launched his bid in today's telegraph, suella braverman was first to throw her hat in the ring, and steve baker has indicated he's likely to enter the fray.

others are widely expected to follow suit, including rishi sunak and sajid javid, the first to trigger the avalanche of resignations. also nadhim zahawi, liz truss, penny mordaunt and the current bookies' favourite ben wallace. so when can we expect to see a new conservative leader and just how straightforward is the process? on monday, the timetable will be decided by the leadership of the 1922 committee of backbench conservative mps. any candidate needs the support of at least eight conservative mps to be nominated. then a series of votes among conservatives mps will take place, whittling down the list of candidates to the last two. those two names will then go forward to a vote of all conservative party members — around 200,000 — who will choose the new leader. whoever gets the job will be greeted by an extremely full in—tray. they'll need to navigate issues

like the war in ukraine, the cost of living crisis, and the growing tension in northern ireland over post—brexit trade arrangements. let's go back now to charlie, who is at downing street for us this morning. good morning, charlie. as we've been hearing, borisjohnson has been filling the posts in his caretaker cabinet, and james cleverly was one of those offered a job. he's now the education secretary, and hejoins me from westminster. thank you very much for your time. will you be standing as leader? h0. will you be standing as leader? no, no i will you be standing as leader? no, no i won't- — will you be standing as leader? no, no i won't- l— will you be standing as leader? no, no i won't- i put— will you be standing as leader? ijfr, no i won't. i put myself forward in 2019. you might remember. but my personal circumstances now mean it

would not be the right time for me and we have plenty of fantastic candidates who will put themselves forward, some already have. we will be spoilt for choice, but it will be me. ., , ., , , ., , me. you will understand why people will be interested _ me. you will understand why people will be interested in _ me. you will understand why people will be interested in what _ me. you will understand why people will be interested in what you - will be interested in what you think. do you want to take me through some names of the candidates? i through some names of the candidates?— through some names of the candidates? ~ ., ., , candidates? i think that would be unfair because _ candidates? i think that would be unfair because one _ candidates? i think that would be unfair because one of _ candidates? i think that would be unfair because one of the - candidates? i think that would be unfair because one of the first i unfair because one of the first lessons you learn as a political communicator is don't put lists into speeches because you always forget at least one of the names on the list, but we have a number of people who i think would do a fantastic job. i think the process now will be done professionally but promptly, so that we can get a new prime minister who can form a new team in good time, so we can then focus on what the prime minister reminded us that cabinet yesterday is our primary duty, and that is to serve the

british people. 50 duty, and that is to serve the british people.— duty, and that is to serve the british people. duty, and that is to serve the british --eole. , ., british people. so help me with a steer on this, _ british people. so help me with a steer on this, if _ british people. so help me with a steer on this, if you _ british people. so help me with a steer on this, if you can. - british people. so help me with a steer on this, if you can. is i british people. so help me with a steer on this, if you can. is it i steer on this, if you can. is it tenable, because people will be very interested at this point in time, for someone who voiced their criticisms of borisjohnson, someone who resigned, someone who showed disloyalty when the prime minister was still prime minister, is it tenable for one of those people to become the next prime minister? well, whoever put themselves forward will need to explain what decisions they took in times of difficulty, showing politicaljudgments is showing political judgments is important. showing politicaljudgments is important. i think all of us will have our criteria for what makes a good leader and people want to put forward the rationale for doing or not doing what they might have done. i will be looking carefully, as will all my parliamentary colleagues at what people have got to say. i'm not going to name names at this point,

but that is something that will be done professionally but quickly over the next week or so. 50. done professionally but quickly over the next week or so.— the next week or so. so, effectively what you're — the next week or so. so, effectively what you're saying _ the next week or so. so, effectively what you're saying is, _ the next week or so. so, effectively what you're saying is, no _ the next week or so. so, effectively what you're saying is, no matter- what you're saying is, no matter what you're saying is, no matter what has happened to this point, we know the people he resigned, this is like a clean sheet, it is almost like a clean sheet, it is almost like none of those things were said and you just look at people on the basis of their calibre, would that be right? basis of their calibre, would that be riuht? ., ., ., , basis of their calibre, would that be riuht? ., ., ., ., , be right? no. i am always cautious when interviewers _ be right? no. i am always cautious when interviewers asked, - be right? no. i am always cautious when interviewers asked, so - be right? no. i am always cautious when interviewers asked, so what | be right? no. i am always cautious i when interviewers asked, so what you really saying is...? i'm sad that everyone who puts himself forward will need to explain the rationale for doing whatever they did and my colleagues willjudge for doing whatever they did and my colleagues will judge that. for doing whatever they did and my colleagues willjudge that. some people will, i'm sure, want to support someone that remained part of the prime minister's team over the last few days and there will be

others who want to perhaps support someone who was critical of the prime minister. we each must make our own choices and each candidate will need to explain whatever decisions they took or didn't take. i'm not trying to get bogged down in this. could you support someone who did not support borisjohnson? my did not support borisjohnson? m decisions will did not support borisjohnson? m1: decisions will be made once i did not support borisjohnson? m1 decisions will be made once i know who is running. we have a range of candidates. ijust have one vote. as i said, we could spend the interview speculating about what james cleverly thinks about the future state of candidates. it would be rather self—indulgent. state of candidates. it would be rather self-indulgent.— state of candidates. it would be rather self-indulgent. let's talk about the cabinet _ rather self-indulgent. let's talk about the cabinet meeting - rather self-indulgent. let's talk - about the cabinet meeting yesterday, 3pm yesterday afternoon. i have seen you around the table. you have a

caretaker prime minister now, someone who isjust caretaker prime minister now, someone who is just holding the fort. was there a tangible difference, can you give people at home as sense over what has changed in that cabinet room as to boris johnson's demeanour? how he is dealing with singular field —— seniorfigures like dealing with singular field —— senior figures like yourself? dealing with singular field -- senior figures like yourself? there is no such thing _ senior figures like yourself? there is no such thing as _ senior figures like yourself? there is no such thing as a _ senior figures like yourself? there is no such thing as a caretaker - is no such thing as a caretaker prime minister. he has made it clear he will stand down as party leader and prime minister when his successor is chosen, but ultimately, as we have seen with the tragic and terrible news coming out of japan, the situation in ukraine, the issues with food pricing around the world, particularly with global sales, plus inflationary pressures here in the uk, there is plenty both internationally and domestically that we have to get on with. ultimately, our duty, of all of us in government, is to focus on the primary role that we have, which is

providing a service to the people of this country. he made it very —— very clear in cabinet that we should focus on the british people and not focus on the british people and not focus on the british people and not focus on ourselves. he absolutely said the right thing which is when you're talking about yourselves, we are not focusing on what we should be focusing on, which is the british people. i will focus on that for as long as i am in this role. as long as i am, i will focus relentlessly on the incredibly important topics that we have in the department. business as usual, that sounds like business as usual, but yesterday we had our litany of senior conservatives with a very damning things to say about the prime minister, and i think people were given the impression that something was different now. you sound like it is business as usual.— is business as usual. let's think about the _ is business as usual. let's think about the alternative. _ is business as usual. let's think about the alternative. the - is business as usual. let's think| about the alternative. the prime minister said he is standing down

when his replacement is chosen. that process is set and happening. i don't think that it would be appropriate for us, whether we are around the cabinet table or any other part of the british government to down tools and say, we will not do anything until the new buses in place. we have a duty and our duty is to govern. during a general election, for example, the functions of government are maintained and whilst we are going through this data to process the function of government will be maintained. what we will not do is make big changes that would tie the hands of the prime minister's successor, but what we will do is remain focused... can i ask we will do is remain focused. .. can i ask another— we will do is remain focused... can i ask another question? if there was a major decision to be made about tax, for example, is that all on hold? ~ ., ., . , ., ,

tax, for example, is that all on hold? ., ., .,., ,., hold? well, ma'or decisions about tax char e hold? well, ma'or decisions about tax charge on — hold? well, major decisions about tax charge on in _ hold? well, major decisions about tax charge on in those _ hold? well, major decisions about tax charge on in those big - hold? well, major decisions about tax charge on in those big fiscal. tax charge on in those big fiscal events. they are set piece events at a particular point in time. the leadership process should be resolved before the next one of those fiscal events, is a big tax decisions are set piece decisions at a particular time. decisions are set piece decisions at a particulartime. i'm decisions are set piece decisions at a particular time. i'm confident this will be resolved well ahead of the next big fiscal event. for example. — the next big fiscal event. for example. we _ the next big fiscal event. for example, we were _ the next big fiscal event. for example, we were led to believe that there was supposed to be an announcement on tax today. that, for example, you are saying simply can happen for months? $5 i example, you are saying simply can happen for months?— happen for months? as i said, the bi happen for months? as i said, the his decisions _ happen for months? as i said, the big decisions about _ happen for months? as i said, the big decisions about tax _ happen for months? as i said, the big decisions about tax and - big decisions about tax and expenditure are traditionally done at those big fiscal events. the process now is to professionally but promptly appoint a successor as leader of the conservative party and as prime minister. that is what we will do, that is what you will be

covering over the next few days and once that new prime minister is in place then they can build a ministerial team around them and we can continue doing what is the first function of government, and that is serving the people of this country. let's talk about g being education secretary. people interested in education, teachers, parents, students, would be alarmed, three education secretaries in three days. what are you going to do and what could be a very short tenure in your job? could be a very short tenure in your 'ob? ., ., , ~' ., could be a very short tenure in your 'ob? ., ., , ~ ., ., ., ., job? none of us know how long we are in ministerial— job? none of us know how long we are in ministerial positions. _ job? none of us know how long we are in ministerial positions. the _ in ministerial positions. the turbulence of the last few days of course was difficult and distressing. yesterday my first day in the job i distressing. yesterday my first day in thejob i spoke distressing. yesterday my first day in the job i spoke to some education union leaders. i spoke to somebody�*s

that are heavily involved in the delivery of education and i will continue to engage with the sector, i will make sure that we are ready for exam results, time when parents are getting ready, there is plenty to be getting on with, that is what i will do. at fiserv in this role for an extended period of time that would be fantastic, but i don't think it is good use of mental energy guessing, speculating or worrying about how long you are in the job. worrying about how long you are in thejob. better mental worrying about how long you are in the job. better mental energyjust getting on with the job, that is what i will do. jeff getting on with the 'ob, that is what i will do._ what i will do. jeff barton said that they need _ what i will do. jeff barton said that they need more - what i will do. jeff barton said that they need more money, | what i will do. jeff barton said i that they need more money, but what i will do. jeff barton said - that they need more money, but i'm assuming given what you said about how decisions are made, you will be able to do that. i

you are further north across parts of scotland and northern ireland, to the north and west, we are seeing this cold front. it is quite a weak feature, moving into this area of high pressure. in doing so it loses a lot of its energy and eventually it will fizzle out. it is producing thicker cloud and rain, moving into northern ireland, southern parts of scotland, the north of england. any mist and fog patches will fizzle out. we will get to 27 or 28 celsius today. windy and northern parts of scotland and we will see the winds is gradually through the day. we have to talk about gp levels, they are very high in many parts of the uk. you can see this gradients, very high further south, then it becomes high, medium and low over parts of northern ireland and scotland. it is

notjust northern ireland and scotland. it is not just the gp northern ireland and scotland. it is notjust the gp levels that are high, we have very high pollen levels as well. let's have a look at the pressure church again. this area of high pressure is running the show over the next couple of days stop it will bring us dry, bright and sunny weather. we don't celebrate rising temperatures in the weather forecast in the same way as we did. it will get very warm and we could be in heatwave territory over the next couple of days. some rain and showers moving into western parts of scotland. for most of us tomorrow, we are going to do more of that sunshine and wants a more rising temperatures. cooler further sunshine and wants a more rising temperatures. coolerfurther north, temperatures. cooler further north, warming temperatures. coolerfurther north, warming to the south. we could get a 27 or 28 celsius tomorrow. as for sunday, much of england and we are striped, bright, better chance of seeing some sunshine through northern ireland on sunday and more of scotland saying that. you can see the clouds wrapping around northern

parts of the uk, so coastal parts again will become quite cloudy across parts of scotland. 16 or 17 there, but 29 degrees in london. we'll stick to that theme over the next couple of days. the high pressure is still there, a weak weather front shimmies on into tuesday. that will bring more cloud and turning a bit breezy, as well. this high pressure doesn't want to go anywhere, it is sticking around. so if the warm weather isn't for you, we don't see much relief as far as that is concerned over the coming days. sunny spells or unbroken blue sky and sunshine, and those temperatures reaching 29 or 30 celsius in places. of course, we will keep you posted. that is how it is looking. i wish i could promise some rain. the garden is not happy.

the garden is not happy. the gardeners are happy at wimbledon. have you seen the gorgeous flowers? at wimbledon it is definitely bright. my kids there. good morning. no flowers? no, just the green grass. they have put the roof half over i thinkjust oiled the wheels, give them a test and keep the son of the centre court for the time being, but it is not fully across. it will be a baking hot day if you are lucky to come and watch the men's semifinal. defending champion novak djokovic against britain's cameron norrie. it's his first visit to the last four of a grand slam and our sports

correspondent laura scott charts the british number one's rapid rise to the wimbledon semi—finals. cameron norrie's new favourite word is crazy. he says crazy atmospheres have helped him through crazy matches, to the crazy point of being in the wimbledon semifinal. his remarkable run has earned him the royal seal of approval, and a hill full of fans. is this now cameron's crest? obviously, a lot of hype at the moment, and a lot of people following around the world. it's a lot to take in right now. it sounds amazing and everything but i'm going to have to try to bring it down again and go back to basics. norrie is just the fourth british man to reach the final four here after roger taylor in the '70s, tim henman in the 90s and noughties, and most recently andy murray. how special is it to have him do so well here? yeah, it's brilliant. i mean, he's been doing really well for the last year, really. this result is kind of an accumulation of all of his hard work, his attitude and everything

he puts in his tennis. in norrie's own words, his background has been varied. he was born in south africa to a scottish father and welsh mother, raised in new zealand, went to college in the us. but based in london now, it's here he's making his mark. despite all the moves, his playing instinct has been a constant. he's a battler. even when he was a young player, he always competed. so he'as retained that competitiveness, and a will to win which, of course, has seen him in good stead this past couple of weeks. awaiting the british number one today in the biggest match of his life is one of the greatest ever grass court players — novak djokovic. norrie knows he will need every ounce of home support if he is to rise to the occasion. laura scott, bbc news, wimbledon.

he did get that going in the quarterfinal, didn't he? sadly, it is the only semifinal taking place today. rafael nadal has withdrawn from his wimbledon men's singles semifinal against nick kyrgios with an abdominal injury. nadal played through the pain barrier on wednesday to win his quarterfinal against taylor fritz in five sets, but he struggled during the match, and received treatment on the injury in the second set. so kyrgios will play either novak djokovic or cameron norrie in sunday's final. let's bring in laura robson. let's talk about the disappointment over rafael nadal. he was trying to win all four grand slams, but that is over. it all four grand slams, but that is over. , , . , all four grand slams, but that is over. , , . over. it is so difficult. it is a toth over. it is so difficult. it is a tough situation _ over. it is so difficult. it is a tough situation for - over. it is so difficult. it is a tough situation for the - over. it is so difficult. it is a - tough situation for the tournament, the fans, and for rafael nadal, as

his shoulders, hopefully stay relaxed and just enjoy the moment. i'm sure the nerves will be there, as well. he is mentally so strong. hopefully cameron norrie gets a good start today and we will see some of his best tennis. he start today and we will see some of his best tennis.— his best tennis. he had that bike accident after _ his best tennis. he had that bike accident after having _ his best tennis. he had that bike accident after having too - his best tennis. he had that bike accident after having too many l his best tennis. he had that bike l accident after having too many out in texas at the thought that was set. they redid the lines, along with his coach and started again. he cycles a non—training days. ihs, cycles a non—training days. brilliant story. i love that he has kept the same team around him for all these years. he is coached by some and he went to college with. they have grown together as a partnership. they get on so well. he will stick with the same people throughout his whole career because he believes in his units. he cycles in to the national centre on most of his training weeks. he is such a humble guy. he is very easy to get on with. a nice person to be around

good morning. welcome to breakfast with me charlie stayt here in downing street and naga munchetty in the studio. 0ur headlines today... the battle to replace borisjohnson as conservative party leader begins after the prime minister admits his time is up. mps tom tugendhat and suella braverman have confirmed their intention to run

with rishi sunak and sajid javid expected to join the race, too. borisjohnson is being urged to leave now by some tories rather than stay as a caretaker prime minister. labour says it will call for a vote of no confidence in the government if he doesn't go immediately. also, formerjapanese prime minister shinzo abe is in a grave condition after being shot when making a speech at a campaign event. good morning from wimbledon, where rafael nadal has withdrawn from the semi finals with injury, and cameron norrie takes on novak djokovic for a place in the final. and plenty of blue sky and sunshine for many of us over the next couple of days. we also see very high temperatures. i will be back with the latest forecast. it's friday, the 8th ofjuly. our main story.

the race to replace borisjohnson has started, following the prime minister's resignation as conservative party leader, after days of mutiny within his government. he's proposing to stay on in a caretaker role until a successor is chosen, but some tories are urging him to go now, including former prime minister sirjohn major. 0ur political correspondent lone wells reports. behind the doors of number 10 this morning, things are very different from yesterday. on wednesday night, the message was that the prime minister was going to fight on. by 9am on thursday, he was going to step down as conservative party leader. tory mps have spent weeks frustrated at number 10 changing their line, whether that be over downing street parties or what the prime minister knew about sexual misconduct allegations against his former deputy chief whip, chris pincher. but this time, the change of line was welcomed by many of them.

it is clearly now the will of the parliamentary conservative party that there should be a new leader of that party and therefore a new prime minister. so i want to say to the millions of people who voted for us in 2019 — many of them voting conservative for the first time — thank you for that incredible mandate. in the end, it was his own mps that pushed him. as we've seen at westminster, the herd instinct is powerful. and when the herd moves, it moves. and, my friends, in politics, no—one is remotely indispensable. not even the prime minister himself. with so many of his ministers resigning from government, many questioned if there would be enough tory mps left to replace them. but replace them he did, in a swift cabinet reshuffle yesterday morning. he's conceded this cabinet won't be making big changes, more just holding the fort

until a successor is announced. a timetable for that tory leadership contest will be announced next week by the backbench 1922 committee of tory mps. but, unofficially, it's already underway. backbench mp tom tugendhat has declared he will be running. the attorney general, suella braverman, says she'll throw her hat in the ring. reporter: do you regret standing by the prime minister for so long? | arch brexiteer steve baker has hinted as much, too. it's understood the former chancellor, rishi sunak, and the man who took over from him, nadhim zahawi, have campaigns underway, and that sajid javid, who resigned as health secretary and transport secretary, grant shapps, are seriously considering a pop at the top job. thank you all very much. thank you. a new leader, who will become prime minister, is expected by september. they'll first need the backing of enough tory mps.

the final two will fight it out for votes from tory members. in the meantime, borisjohnson remains behind these doors, home for now with his wife and children. he'll still host cabinet with his new set of ministers. but this isn't the end of the tory discontent. some of his mps think he should have resigned as prime minister, too, and left immediately to let someone else steer the ship that he can no longer summon the authority to captain. lone wells, bbc news. i can speak now to bob blackman, the joint executive secretary of the 1922 committee, you will hear quite a lot about them in the next few days and weeks, which runs the selection process for new tory leaders. can you give us a mug's guide into what happens in terms of the

selection process? the what happens in terms of the selection process?— selection process? the 1922 elections — selection process? the 1922 elections are _ selection process? the 1922 elections are being - selection process? the 1922 elections are being held - selection process? the 1922 elections are being held on| selection process? the 1922 - elections are being held on monday. nominations close for that at noon on monday. the ballot for the new executive will be held in the afternoon and the new executive, whoever is elected, will meet on monday night. that executive will then agree the timetable and the processes for how we select the two candidates that we offer to the party at large. the only thing i can tell you about the timing at this moment is we are going to offer the party two candidates by the 31st of july, by the time we rise for recess. we don't know course yet how many candidates they will be that we conduct a series of what we called exhausted ballots, and we properly will be exhausted by the time we do it, in order to shortlist the number to two candidates in order to go to a postal ballot of the membership of

the party. the a postal ballot of the membership of the ia .

cannot change no matter what you agree among you executive? as i have said, the agree among you executive? as i have said. the new — agree among you executive? as i have said, the new executive _ agree among you executive? as i have said, the new executive hasn't - agree among you executive? as i have said, the new executive hasn't met - said, the new executive hasn't met yet. it will meet on monday evening to agree the timetable and a process we will do in parliament. it will then be up to the board of the conservative party to agree the timetable process for selecting from the final two candidates. they will do theirjob as swiftly as they can. we have to make sure obviously the members get the chance to hear the two candidates and obviously have a position whereby they have the chance to vote in the election so that the decision is clear and no one can challenge it. i that the decision is clear and no one can challenge it.— that the decision is clear and no one can challenge it. i think we may be doini one can challenge it. i think we may be doing this. _ one can challenge it. i think we may be doing this, mr— one can challenge it. i think we may be doing this, mr blackman, - one can challenge it. i think we may be doing this, mr blackman, with i be doing this, mr blackman, with quite a few conservative mps when we speak to them and i am not sure what you can tell us. he will you back to be next leader of your party? has be next leader of your party? is secretary, i be next leader of your party? 23 secretary, i have be next leader of your party? 2.3 secretary, i have my private vote which is private but, as secretary, i have to be neutral and not declare

for any candidate because that allows me to help oversee the process by which we select a new leader. i am afraid i cannot tell you. and we do not know who the candidates are yet.— you. and we do not know who the candidates are yet. clearly because the have candidates are yet. clearly because they have to _ candidates are yet. clearly because they have to put — candidates are yet. clearly because they have to put themselves - candidates are yet. clearly because they have to put themselves up. i they have to put themselves up. unofficially. can i ask you to cast your eyes over the events as to what happened at downing street with the resignation speech by borisjohnson? what were your reflections? i think he set out the position of what he achieved as prime minister built up over the past djs, people have concentrated on negative elements. he concentrated on achievements as prime minister, getting us through the pandemic, the vaccination programme and the challenges we faced with the illegal invasion of ukraine by russia. he has been seen to be the leader of the free world,

effectively, in dealing with that particular crisis. i am effectively, in dealing with that particular crisis. iam not surprised that he sold the batches of his premiership and i hope he will be remembered for delivering those particular aspects of what was required. clearly, there is concern amongst conservative mps and backbenchers in particular, but also members of the government, that they no longer had trusted him to carry on. he has recognised that and done the right thing by stepping down. now we must get on with the process of choosing his successor. can i now we must get on with the process of choosing his successor.— of choosing his successor. can i ask ou to of choosing his successor. can i ask you to address _ of choosing his successor. can i ask you to address what _ of choosing his successor. can i ask you to address what has _ of choosing his successor. can i ask you to address what has been - of choosing his successor. can i ask you to address what has been said l of choosing his successor. can i ask. you to address what has been said by people within your own party, significant figures, including john major? it is untenable, given the circumstances and some of what his closest colleagues have said about him professionally about integrity, it is not tenable for him still to be here at downing street as prime

minister, it cannot happen now. iiih’hat minister, it cannot happen now. what are our minister, it cannot happen now. what are your thoughts _ minister, it cannot happen now. what are your thoughts on _ minister, it cannot happen now. ii'iii�*isgit are your thoughts on that? minister, it cannot happen now. “iirisgit are your thoughts on that? my personal view is obviously the position that successive prime ministers who have stepped down during the middle of parliament have continued on as prime minister while their successor is elected. we had done that, just in my time in parliament with david cameron and theresa may. this is no different. if you go back in history, many prime ministers have been elected to serve during the duration of the parliament and it is right that we have a prime minister at the helm, particularly at the moment when we are dealing with russia and their invasion of ukraine, he has respect across the world and has been seen to demonstrate leadership in that regard. if we change horses mid—course, and we're to change again, i do not think that is good for the way the country is run. i appreciate your time this morning.

thank you very much. but black men from the 1922 committee. well, i'mjoined now by our political correspondent, nick eardley. the longer term thing is who will be the next prime minister. in the meantime, how will the cabinet work? talk us through what we know. i think it will work in quite a minimal way. thejob of ministers now really isjust minimal way. thejob of ministers now really is just to keep an eye on things and make sure nothing falls over and over the next few weeks. the prime minister told cabinet yesterday he was not going to make any big policy changes, wasn't going to announce any sorts of changes of direction. to be honest, he does not have the support to do and would struggle to do anything in parliament his party was not on board with. the question for ministers about exactly how they see their role was answered by james cleverley, actually, the new

education secretary, the third one this week and he was on breakfast earlier, about half—an—hour ago. here is what he said. the prime minister— here is what he said. the prime minister has said he is standing down _ minister has said he is standing down when his replacement is found. that process is happening. i do think_ that process is happening. i do think it — that process is happening. i do think it would be appropriate for us, whether we are around the cabinet — us, whether we are around the cabinet table or in any part of the british_ cabinet table or in any part of the british government to down tools and say, we _ british government to down tools and sayi we are _ british government to down tools and say, we are not going to do anything until the _ say, we are not going to do anything until the new boss is in place. we have _ until the new boss is in place. we have a _ until the new boss is in place. we have a duty. _ until the new boss is in place. we have a duty, and our duty is to govern — have a duty, and our duty is to iovern. ., have a duty, and our duty is to iovern. i i , have a duty, and our duty is to iovern. i , , govern. that was james cleverley. there was this _ govern. that was james cleverley. there was this anger _ govern. that was james cleverley. there was this anger you - govern. that was james cleverley. there was this anger you heard i govern. that was james cleverley. there was this anger you heard it | govern. that was james cleverley. l there was this anger you heard it in our peace from some tory mps saying there is no way borisjohnson can stay on for another three weeks after the anger and distrust that has built up in the last few days and the turmoil we have been covering. i get the impression this morning that tory mps are becoming a

bit more relaxed about that. not all of boris johnson's bit more relaxed about that. not all of borisjohnson's critics want to add him immediately. they are happy with the debate over the next two weeks about direction and policy. we have heard from senior members of the committee who will organise the election this morning that it is likely in a couple of weeks we will be down to the final two. over the summer the tory members will elect their leader, probably in place by their leader, probably in place by the start of september. it feels increasingly likely to me that mr johnson will stick around for a three weeks yet, he will not be making big decisions, he will not be changing direction. if that was ever to happen i think tory mps return against him again pretty quickly. at the moment he remains as a caretaker prime minister, really. istate the moment he remains as a caretaker prime minister, really.— prime minister, really. we have a sense of what _ prime minister, really. we have a sense of what happens _ prime minister, really. we have a sense of what happens on - prime minister, really. we have a i sense of what happens on monday, prime minister, really. we have a - sense of what happens on monday, the 1922 committee, and then we will know for sure the timetable. istate 1922 committee, and then we will know for sure the timetable. we get the timetable _ know for sure the timetable. we get the timetable confirmed _ know for sure the timetable. we get the timetable confirmed monday - the timetable confirmed monday evening, tuesday morning. we will

see a lot of candidates, more than a dozen people checking their hats into the ring. that will be whittled down to the final two.— down to the final two. thank you very much- _ a very different atmosphere down here today. this time yesterday, nick and i were watching their fans and hearing information about people resigning on things that were said. a very different atmosphere. there is a moment where people are assessing exactly what might happen next. one or two people have put their hands up and said they are interested in becoming prime minister. that process will play out. forthe minister. that process will play out. for the moment, minister. that process will play out. forthe moment, back minister. that process will play out. for the moment, back to you. interesting picking up on that. it is like a period of transition now. i'm joined now byjames daly, the conservative mp for bury north, which was the most marginal seat in england at the 2019 general election. morning to you. just as charlie was

london, the south—east, it is 28 celsius. three days over that we are going to see a heatwave. if you can imagine the area with a gradient coming out from it, the pressure gets lower the further away you get. when we talk about a heatwave you have to be specific because the word heatwave is thrown around quite a lot. but of course it does have a meaning. many of us are not seeing what we have been talking about as far as the nice weather, the sunny weather days. very dramatic scenes in some places this morning with mist, fog and low cloud. we will see more of that over the next couple of days. any mist and fog will clear this morning. this week whether fran is bringing more in their way of pad in the west of scotland. —— this week whether front. further south,

tria, brighter, warmer. we get to 28 celsius today. we have to talk about uv levels. very high or high uv levels today across the uk and high pollen levels as well. their latest as far as that goes on the bbc app or the website. the reason is this area of high pressure. plenty of dry weather, still cloudy across western scotland. a bit of rain in northern ireland, cloudier. parisien on the coast. —— breezy on the coast. temperatures rising more next week. japan's former prime minister, shinzo abe, is in a "very grave condition" after being shot multiple times while delivering a speech in western japan. his attacker was detained at the scene. gareth barlow has this report. it began as a typical political rally. shinzo abe in the city of nara

giving a speech for a political candidate, when this happened. two shots ringing out, one hitting the former prime minister in the back. as he fell to the ground bleeding, security officials rushed to apprehend a man suspected of firing the shots. the seemingly improvised gun left lying on the ground. local news reports citing police sources say shinzo abe was conscious and responsive while being transported to hospital. the ex—tokyo governor said in a tweet shinzo abe was in a state of cardiopulmonary arrest. shinzo abe stood down from the post of prime minister in 2020, suffering from an inflammatory bowel disease that had repeatedly blighted his career.

a proponent of boosting japanese civic life, his time in office centred around boosting the ailing economy and taking a proactive stance on the world stage. while his leadership wasn't without criticism, as prime minister he frequently won general elections with sizable majorities with politicians continuing to seek out his support. in a country where gun violence is extremely rare, the incident has stunned society. japan left reeling by the shocking attack. gareth barlow, bbc news. we will keep you updated with that news on shinzo abe. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. sarah and gethin can tell us what they have in store. good morning to you both. coming up today: as you have been covering on breakfast, it could be a few months

the london 2012 olympics and paralympic games did not boost participation in grassroots sports as was "hoped for at the time", according to a public spending watchdog. a report by the national audit office 10 years on from the london games found the government commitment to the legacy of the games had "waned" just four years after they had taken place. the government says it recognises there is more to do and will publish a revised sports strategy in the coming months. 4g coverage is set to be expanded to a further five tube stations across the tube network over the next six months. among them are oxford circus, tottenham court road and camden town. it's part of ongoing work to rollout 4g and 5g coverage across the entire network, including tunnels, by the summer of 2023. london and parts of the south east are expected to ecperience a heatwave over the next few days, prompting a heat—health alert to be issued. today marks the beginning of a run of hot days until friday next week.

temperatures are expected to get into the low 30s. the uk health security agency and the met office issued a level 2 warning — it's designed to help healthcare workers manage through periods of extreme temperatures and has four levels. the uefa women's euros tournament arrives in the capital today, with brentford community stadium hosting the first of four games in the competition, with the final being held at wembley. germany take on denmark at the west london venue tonight. it comes after the lionesses won their first match on tuesday. let's have a look at how public transport is shaping up this morning. it is good news if you are planning on because all lines are running a good service. for all the latest travel news where you are tune into your bbc local radio station for regular updates throughout the morning. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a dry, bright start this morning. lots of sunshine. high pressure is still in charge.

it's to the west of the uk. across the weekend, it just starts to nudge in a little bit further east. now, for today, you can see there's really not a lot of cloud in the forecast. it's just blue sky and sunshine, the wind light and the temperatures feeling warm, maximum 29 celsius. now, into this evening, it stays fine, it stays dry. a lot of sunshine, and it's warm before the sun sets. then overnight, it stays dry and clear, the minimum temperature between 12 and 15 celsius. a bright start to the weekend. you can see the high pressurejust starting to move a little bit further east through saturday. again, plenty of sunshine. there's really not a lot of cloud through saturday, perhaps a little bit of fair weather cloud bubbling up, but that's about it. and the temperature tomorrow feeling warm, too, at around 27 celsius, a degree or two cooler. of course, it's wimbledon finals weekend, it should stay dry throughout, that high pressure for sunday staying with us and the temperature feeling a little bit warmer on sunday, we could see 29 or 30 celsius. into next week, not a lot of rain in the forecast, if any. not great news for gardeners

and growers, but temperatures potentially next week in the low 30s. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half—an—hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to naga and charlie. goodbye for now. a lovely view over westminster this morning. charlie is there stop now the contest is on to find the next prime minister. our third the contest is on to find the next prime minister. ourthird in the contest is on to find the next prime minister. our third in three years. it comes after borisjohnson announced his decision to step down following a wave of resignations. it is clearly now the will of the parliamentary . conservative party that there should be a new leader of that party, - and therefore a new prime minister. and i have agreed with- sir graham brady, the chairman of our backbench mps, - that the process of choosing that new leader should begin now.

i in the last few days, i have tried | to persuade my colleagues that it would be eccentric to change - government when we are delivering so much and have such a vast - mandate, and we are actually only a handful of points behind i in the polls, even in midterm after quite a few months of pretty relentless sledging, _ and when the economic scene is so difficult - domestically and internationally. i regret not to have been- successful in those arguments, and it is painful not to be able to see through so many ideas| and projects myself. but as we have seen at westminster, the herd instinct is powerful. - and in politics, nobody- is remotely indispensable. that speech went down well with borisjohnson's staunch supporters but some people — including business leaders, opposition politicans, and senior conservatives — have said he should go sooner than the autumn.

we are likely to get the timetable for the election to replace him as soon as next week. the former prime ministerjohn major wrote an open letter saying the current plan is "unwise" and "may be unsustainable." mrjohnson has already starting building a caretaker cabinet, which includes his friend james cleverly as the third education secretary this week. in all likelihood, they won't be in thejob for long, because the new leader will want to put his or her own team in place. but who will it be? tom tugendhat has launched his bid in today's telegraph, suella braverman was first to throw her hat in the ring, and steve baker has indicated he's likely to enter the fray. others are widely expected to follow suit, including rishi sunak and sajid javid, the first to trigger the avalanche of resignations. also nadhim zahawi, liz truss, penny mordaunt and the current bookies' favourite ben wallace. so when can we expect to see a new conservative leader and just how straightforward is the process?

on monday, the timetable will be decided by the leadership of the 1922 committee of backbench conservative mps. any candidate needs the support of at least eight conservative mps to be nominated. then a series of votes among conservatives mps will take place, whittling down the list of candidates to the last two. those two names will then go forward to a vote of all conservative party members — around 200,000 — who will choose the new leader. whoever gets the job will be greeted by an extremely full in—tray. they'll need to navigate issues like the war in ukraine, the cost of living crisis, and the growing tension in northern ireland over post—brexit trade arrangements. away from westminster, we've been getting the reaction to boris johnson's resignation. jayne is in the lancashire town of garstang, which falls within defence secretary ben wallace's

constituency who, as we've just been hearing, is an early favourite to take over as conservative party leader. iimagine many i imagine many people will favour ben wallace there. it is interesting trying to figure out what people want from the next prime minister, is it to be personality led like it was in the last election?- was in the last election? yes, absolutely- — was in the last election? yes, absolutely. we _ was in the last election? yes, absolutely. we have - was in the last election? yes, absolutely. we have been - was in the last election? 1'313 absolutely. we have been taking was in the last election? ia: absolutely. we have been taking the temperature here in garstang, a very pretty market town, taking the temperature from the dog walking world. let me do some introductions. this is charlie the whippets. good morning, charlie. over here we have dj. truffle and kia. kia because my dad, john, is a labour supporter.

back to you. let's return now to charlie at downing street. i understand you have been getting friendly with larry the cats? i thought you might say that. can you see, if you look behind the railings. you can see larry is sitting just there, tucked away. a few minutes ago he was sitting on the step they are just below the number ten sign and it was like he was looking whimsicallyjoined that way to where the cars come up, thinking, i wonder he is coming next? larry probably knows as much as the rest of us! that is the truth. let's talk to chris mason this morning. truth. let's talk to chris mason this morning-— truth. let's talk to chris mason this morning. hello, chris. good morninu. this morning. hello, chris. good morning- so. — this morning. hello, chris. good morning. so, where _ this morning. hello, chris. good morning. so, where do - this morning. hello, chris. good morning. so, where do we i this morning. hello, chris. good morning. so, where do we start| this morning. hello, chris. good i morning. so, where do we start with this one? it — morning. so, where do we start with this one? it is _

morning. so, where do we start with this one? it is interesting _ morning. so, where do we start with this one? it is interesting hearing i this one? it is interesting hearing from people out there, and the reality is this morning that there are all sorts of things going on the people want answers too, about the cost of living crisis. schools. hospitals. they want decisions made and they probably want the money spent and there is a real crisis facing government at the moment, and yet we have, caretaker prime minister. this curious time. do you have a sense how this will work? lt have a sense how this will work? lit is really striking, that contrast between the noise of westminster, larry the cat counting prime ministers in and outs, and all of the intrigue and hullabaloo of yesterday in the coming weeks, then the colossal challenges that people face every single day of the week and might expect the government to have a grip on. and ideas for. and whether that is the international picture, the situation in ukraine, or the cost of living crunch, these

are massive issues. the government is emasculated now. borisjohnson the government is emasculated now. boris johnson sets the government is emasculated now. borisjohnson sets that he will not take any big decisions. we have all of these huge questions, all of these questions this morning are exactly that, and an any answer is a guess. how long will borisjohnson carry on? we don't know. weeks or months but we don't precisely know. the biggest question is who will be the next prime minister, and we do know the answer to that. putting aside personalities, what will that prime minister actually believe in? what does it mean to be conservative in 2022 when you have big spending, big tax and government at the moment, when the uk has emerged out of the european union and labour don't want to take us back on either, but our relationship with their biggest neighbours has not normalised yet. these are massive questions and nobody has the answer at the moment.

questions and nobody has the answer at the moment-— at the moment. when we spoke to james cleverly. — at the moment. when we spoke to james cleverly, the _ at the moment. when we spoke to james cleverly, the new— at the moment. when we spoke to james cleverly, the new education | james cleverly, the new education secretary, the third in three days, i think i have that right, which will dismay anyone involved in teaching or link to education massively, he said there were boris johnson said was to focus on the country, emphasising the country, which would have raised a few eyebrows because you would think on the whole that is what you should have been doing all the time anyway. what do you make of that? l have been doing all the time anyway. what do you make of that?— what do you make of that? i think that is boris _ what do you make of that? i think that is boris johnson _ what do you make of that? i think that is boris johnson attempting i what do you make of that? i think| that is boris johnson attempting to that is borisjohnson attempting to recognise that westminster has consumed itself in this orgy of introspection and the last couple of days and that whilst a government under prime minister who has resigned as party leader has to be emasculated, campy stride and the political stage with confidence and swagger, there is still the business of government running the country to

do. the argument from borisjohnson and his team is that the things that are already in train they can carry on and do, what will be getting from borisjohnson in the coming weeks are big splash announcements. for instance, give you a specific example of this, next tuesday we were meant to be hearing, it was in the diary from the prime minister and the chancellor, the original thought that would be rishi sunak before he resigned, setting out the government economic vision, its plan for dealing with the cost of living situation. we wouldn't have got big tax changes next week, but we would have a suite of ideas as to how they were going to do things in the coming months. will that happen? no, it can't, because the government doesn't have the bandwidth, the authority to do it. that means a massive great pause button has been pressed on anything other than the day—to—day functioning of national governments. nothing will happen of

any great significance other than day—to—day stuff and responding to emergencies until the next prime minister in place.— minister in place. thank you very much, minister in place. thank you very much. chris- _ i'm not sure what the situation is at wimbledon with the weather, i imagine it is the same. there we go, thatis imagine it is the same. there we go, that is over our heads here, looking at westminster. we will go to mike at westminster. we will go to mike at wimbledon. it has been extraordinary with rafael nadal pulling out of wimbledon. as such a blow for the tournament and all of his fans, and for him personally. i want to give you an overview of the science of center court. it is fascinating to watch all the work going into preparedness arena for cameron norrie, who is in action

with novak djokovic later this afternoon. they are making sure the stage will be perfect with the crowd once again behind cameron norrie, cam that help in major upset against novak djokovic? it has been over the last 18 months that cameron norrie has come up the rankings, top 15 in the world now, leading to this match today. cameron norrie's new favourite word is crazy. he says crazy atmospheres have helped him through crazy matches, to the crazy point of being in the wimbledon semifinal. his remarkable run has earned him the royal seal of approval, and a hill full of fans. is this now cameron's crest? obviously, a lot of hype at the moment, and a lot of people following around the world. it's a lot to take in right now.

it sounds amazing and everything but i'm going to have to try to bring it down again and go back to basics. norrie is just the fourth british man to reach the final four here after roger taylor in the '70s, tim henman in the 90s and noughties, and most recently andy murray. how special is it to have him do so well here? yeah, it's brilliant. i mean, he's been doing really well for the last year, really. this result is kind of an accumulation of all of his hard work, his attitude and everything he puts in his tennis. in norrie's own words, his background has been varied. he was born in south africa to a scottish father and welsh mother, raised in new zealand, went to college in the us. but based in london now, it's here he's making his mark. despite all the moves, his playing instinct has been a constant. he's a battler. even when he was a young player, he always competed. so he'as retained that

competitiveness, and a will to win which, of course, has seen him in good stead this past couple of weeks. awaiting the british number one today in the biggest match of his life is one of the greatest ever grass court players — novak djokovic. norrie knows he will need every ounce of home support if he is to rise to the occasion. laura scott, bbc news, wimbledon. the winners of this match here today will face nick kyrgios. rafael nadal has withdrawn from his wimbledon men's singles semi—final against nick kyrgios with an abdominal injury. nadal played through the pain barrier on wednesday to win his quarter—final against taylor fritz in five sets — but he struggled during the match and received treatment on the injury in the second set. so, kyrgios will play either novak djokovic

or cameron norrie in sunday's final. well, history was made here on centre court yesterday, as tunisian ons jabeur became the first arab player to reach a grand slam singles final in the open era. she beat german tatjana maria in the women's semi—finals, in three sets. the pair are good friends, and often stay at each others houses when on the tour, but it was the world number 2 jabeur that came through. she will now face elena rybakina in the final on saturday. britain's neal skupski and american desirae krawcyzk won the mixed doubles title for the second year in a row. they beat australia's matthew ebden and sam stosur on centre court in straight sets, 6—4 6—3. they are the first pair to successfully defend the mixed doubles title at wimbledon for 25 years. northern ireland made their debut at the women's european championship last night — they lost 4—1 to norway, butjulie nelson made a little bit

of history as she scored their first goal at major tournament. jane dougall was there to see it. this a first major tournament. some have known nothing else, others have suffered years of disappointment, but not all young fans can picture themselves playing for their country. what is incredible is that the northern ireland players are not professional, they all have day jobs. the squad is made up of nhs staff, teachers and shop workers who now have the hopes of a nation resting on their shoulders. walking out to make history. the debutants under the watchful eye of their season manager. could the sisters in arms complete the fairy tale? after nine minutes it seemed unlikely. norway looking organised. as second swiftly followed in northern ireland

were dependent for their lives. brilliant block! but an arm in the box led to a penalty, decisively struck. the second half saw a sharper northern ireland. julie nelson got her head on the ball. sending the crowd into raptures. the euphoria did not last long, a beautifully placed free kick brought them back down to earth. a predictable loss perhaps, but this night will not be remembered for the score line, instead the fans will hold onto the memory of a first—ever international tournament goal for northern ireland women. what a moment that was for northern ireland fans. they go again on monday night in southampton against austria. two more matches on bbc two tonight, i think it is germany and denmark and spain and finland. back in wimbledon, what an afternoon it could be. a doubles match first of

all, then cameron norrie against novak djokovic here on centre court. you would have to guess at around four or five o'clock, so you would have to guess at around four orfive o'clock, so idealfor teatime. another blockbuster, with the crowd providing that amazing atmosphere. it is a massive shame about rafael nadal having to pull out. i know you have been talking to tim henman. at some point we will run the interview. give me a brief highlight of where he sees the final going? well, tim henman has been so impressed with cameron norrie, the way he has shown such resilience in going the distance in his last match, coming back to when in five sets, john the enthusiasm of the crowd giving him perhaps an extra 10%. tim henman thinks that will be crucial. plus there were chinks in djokovic�*s armour in the last match, losing two sets. djokovic will

probably be 70—30 in his favour. cameron norrie is a lefty as well. there is a chance we could see one of the great old upsets here this afternoon. we do love and upset! enjoy the smell of freshly mown grass. enjoy. you're watching bbc breakfast. it's 8:59am.

this is bbc news. i'm chris rogers and these are the latest headlines... the battle to replace borisjohnson as conservative party leader begins after he admits his time is up. are you going to be at next prime minister? attention now turns to who might replace him — with some mps remaining tight—lipped over whether they will join the race as others begin to confirm their intention. here in downing street so far officially two conservative mps have announced that they want to be your next prime minister. they want to move into this building. we will talk to some of their supporters this morning. while some tories urge borisjohnson to leave now rather than stay

as a caretaker prime minister, labour threatens to call for a vote
