wimbledon women's singles as ons jabeur as onsjabeurand as ons jabeur and elena rybakina each prepared to make history on the centre court. health warnings are issued as southern and eastern areas of the uk prepare for a heatwave that could bring record—breaking temperatures over the next week. the defence secretary ben wallace has ruled himself out of the conservative leadership race — saying it was not an easy choice to make. other mps are expected to launch their campaigns this weekend — with the former equalities minister, kemi badenoch, becoming

the latest to confirm she intends to stand. the former chancellor, rishi sunak has put himself forward — taking the number of confirmed candidates to four. here's our political correspondent, david wallace lockhart. morning. he's the former chancellor, but could rishi sunak be the next prime minister? he certainly wants to be, launching his campaign yesterday evening with a slick social media video. soft piano music plays i've told you a little bit about my story, but i'm running to be our next prime minister because it's your stories that matter most. his supporters have taken to the airwaves, insisting he's the man to lead the country. he's got the experience, he's got the ability, he's got the vision and i think at this moment in time we need to move to someone who is going to walk into number ten and take over the reins of the country. they need to have that level of experience and ability. but there are elements of the tory party who are uneasy about the idea of rishi sunak as next prime minister. a number ten source accused him of having a short memory and criticised how he'd handled resigning from the government. they added that the loyalty borisjohnson showed to him

wasn't reciprocated. one prominent backbencher says that while he's fond of the former chancellor, he doesn't like his tax policies. i believe that taxes in this country are too high at their current levels, so high that they'll be doing more harm than good at these levels. now, unfortunately, because rishi's record is of saying he wants low taxes, but then putting them up, he has now got to double down on that record during his campaign. so who are the alternatives? joining mr sunak as official candidates are the select committee chair, tom tugendhat, and attorney general, suella braverman. former minister kemi badenoch launched her campaign yesterday evening, promising tax cuts and small government. the field could get crowded. sajid javid, liz truss, nadhim zahawi could all run. defence secretary ben wallace has said he won't run. priti patel and grant shapps are all thought to be mulling bids. former leadership candidate jeremy hunt may well fancy another run, also. on monday, the 1922 committee,

the body that represents backbench conservative mps, will announce the rules for the upcoming leadership contest. it's expected that tory mps will whittle the candidates down to a final two. that pair will then be put to the party membership, thought to be around 180,000 people. they'll pick the next prime minister, who is expected to take office by september. westminster may be quiet today, but the field in this leadership contest could get very busy indeed. david wallace lockhart, bbc news, westminster. it is an ever moving story, so david has popped into the studio to update us. it isjust has popped into the studio to update us. it is just good to get your take, and also what you are hearing from the people who are going to vote for the next leader of the conservative party, and indeed our next prime minister. how disappointed they are, that the defence secretary is not throwing his hat in? .,

his hat in? there are even conservative _ his hat in? there are even conservative mps - his hat in? there are even conservative mps who - his hat in? there are even conservative mps who are j his hat in? there are even - conservative mps who are publicly coming out and saying that they wanted ben wallace to run. he is popular in the party, very popular with the membership, the website which does surveys of conservative members, he is regularly been coming out on top of them. his spear heading of the ukraine policy... he has said he is not going to go for it, he's going to stick in his currentjob and focus on that. perhaps there is an element of the fact the policy in ukraine is clear, it has support in the country, and when you are prime minister you have to oversee every government department, and perhaps slightly disappoint others, he has decided he is happier doing what he is doing currently. because of all that support he has in the party and with the members, you imagine that his endorsement would mean a lot to the current leadership candidates. if he

current leadership candidates. if he does want to _ current leadership candidates. if he does want to stay _ current leadership candidates. if he does want to stay on _ current leadership candidates. if he does want to stay on as defence secretary, that might depend on who ends up as prime minister. what other names can we expect to see pop up other names can we expect to see pop up over the coming hours and days? we were expecting ben wallace to be one of those names, we know he will now not be. all eyes turn now to people like liz truss, the foreign secretary, priti patel, the home secretary, priti patel, the home secretary, sajid javid, grant shapps, and evenjeremy hunt who got down to the final two against boris johnson in 2019. we understand he is someone who is considering a bid as well. it could potentially be a very crowded field, we do not have the rules for this leadership contest yet, they will be published by the 1922 committee, the backbench committee of conservative mps on monday. it will be interesting if they set certain thresholds of support for someone to get into the first stage of the contest. last time round they lead you have to

have eight mps backing you, they could even make that number a bit higher if they wanted to make sure that only candidates who have a significant base of support can run in this contest. can significant base of support can run in this contest.— in this contest. can we talk about the education _ in this contest. can we talk about the education minister _ in this contest. can we talk about the education minister andrea . the education minister andrea jenkyns, who explained on twitter her rude gesture as she entered downing street the other day. there is the tweet. it downing street the other day. there is the tweet-— is the tweet. it appears andrea jen ns is the tweet. it appears andrea jenkyns went — is the tweet. it appears andrea jenkyns went to _ is the tweet. it appears andrea jenkyns went to downing - is the tweet. it appears andrea | jenkyns went to downing street is the tweet. it appears andrea i jenkyns went to downing street to watch boris johnson's jenkyns went to downing street to watch borisjohnson's resignation speech, and there were protesters outside the gates, and she made a rather rude one fingered gesture, but she has put up this tweet explaining, ratherthan but she has put up this tweet explaining, rather than apologising, for what happened. she said she suffered a lot of abuse like this over the years, and got to the end of her tether. she does say she he should have had more composure, but

is only human. of course she is only appointed education minister after this all happened, but i think boris johnson is at the stage where he is struggling to fill a few of his posts, so she was appointed to that position. i would say that she was explaining rather than apologising, and saying that she essentially had become sick and tired of being shouted at in the street by people who disagree with her views. indie who disagree with her views. we certainly heard them as the prime minister tried to... indie certainly heard them as the prime minister tried to. . ._ minister tried to. .. we did but it is not how _ minister tried to. .. we did but it is not how you _ minister tried to. .. we did but it is not how you would _ minister tried to. .. we did but it is not how you would expect - is not how you would expect government ministers to react to that situation. it government ministers to react to that situation.— that situation. it is very interesting _ that situation. it is very interesting times, - that situation. it is very interesting times, we l that situation. it is very l interesting times, we will that situation. it is very - interesting times, we will be that situation. it is very _ interesting times, we will be speak to a lot of the next few hours, but for now thank you. george baker, who is the chairman of the exeter university conservative association i , hello, how are you? you are the

age of voters that the conservative party are relying on to win another general election, we know there is a lot of dissatisfaction, but how do you feel about ben wallace? i lot of dissatisfaction, but how do you feel about ben wallace? i think certainly with _ you feel about ben wallace? i think certainly with the _ you feel about ben wallace? i think certainly with the war _ you feel about ben wallace? i think certainly with the war in _ you feel about ben wallace? i think certainly with the war in ukraine, i certainly with the war in ukraine, as somebody who is very on top of that brief, it would have been good to have someone who is on top of that. i can understand him focusing on that are not his leadership ambitions. it on that are not his leadership ambitions-— on that are not his leadership ambitions. it is not 'ust about havin: ambitions. it is not 'ust about having somebody _ ambitions. it is notjust about having somebody who - ambitions. it is notjust about having somebody who is - ambitions. it is notjust about - having somebody who is competent in charge, it is about having somebody who is going to win the next general election? ~ ,,., , who is going to win the next general election? ~ , , ., election? absolutely, i suppose that is one of the — election? absolutely, i suppose that is one of the disappointing _ election? absolutely, i suppose that is one of the disappointing thing - is one of the disappointing thing is, ben wallace is doing well in the polls of conservative voters. as something saying he is doing well in pools of young voters. i think the best thing for him to do now is to get behind one of the other candidates and give him their support. candidates and give him their su ort. , , , candidates and give him their su--ort. , , , .,

this next prime minister and conservative leader.- this next prime minister and conservative leader. do you accept what a lot of— conservative leader. do you accept what a lot of people _ conservative leader. do you accept what a lot of people are _ conservative leader. do you accept what a lot of people are saying, i what a lot of people are saying, that boris johnson what a lot of people are saying, that borisjohnson is only one part of the problem for the party that she so publicly support? there is a problem for the party? we have seen quite a few prime ministers coming out of number ten since the conservatives into power, and yes he had a great election result, we accept that, but does the conservative party need to take a good look in the mirror at itself and see where it is going wrong? i and see where it is going wrong? i don't think so necessarily, i think what we need to do is make sure we get back to the promises that were made by the party in the 2019 general election, the promises that got a mandate of an 82 majority. they need to make sure they go back to delivering on those. those promises of cutting taxes, investing in infrastructure, levelling up the country, they are the important thing is we need to focus on. unfortunately, because of the pandemic, those plans and promises have been put on hold. the prime

minister has a brilliant opportunity to go back to that manifesto, an ambitious and festive, —— manifesto, and i think that is a really good platform and bases that already has the support of the public, to bring that forward. the support of the public, to bring that forward-— the support of the public, to bring that forward. thousands of protesters have stormed the residence of sri lanka's president in colombo demanding his resignation over the country's economic crisis. huge crowds enraged by gotabaya rajapaksa's handling of sri lanka's worst economic crisis in decades overwhelmed the security forces. reports say the president has been moved to a safer location. the prime minister says he is willing to resign

to make a way to appoint an all—party government. the country's suffering rampant inflation and is struggling to import food, fuel and medicine. emily unia has this report. clashes in colombo. thousands of anti—government protesters took to the streets of the sri lankan capital. they are angry about rising inflation and shortages of food and fuel. people travelled from across the country to join demonstrations after attempts to impose a curfew failed. soldiers and police pushed protesters back with water cannon jets and clouds of tear gas as they broke the barricades. at least 21 people, including two police, have been injured. a crowd stormed the presidential palace, pictures posted online showed people inside splashing about in the private pool. the protesters want the president, mr rajapaksa, to resign. they hold him responsible for sri lanka's growing

economic emergency. the country has run out of foreign currency to import vital goods and inflation is rising rapidly. food, fuel and medicines are running out, leading to long queues and rolling blackouts. sri lanka is looking far and wide to ease the economic crisis. this week, the president had a phone call with russia's vladimir putin to get hold of cheap fuel. discussions were described as very productive. emily unia, bbc news. kalani kumarasinghe is the features editor at sri lanka's daily mirror. kalani you're in the capital colombo. thank you forjoining us. we can see the strength in feeling among the people, are we witnessing a revolution? certainly, it is a revolution that

has borne out of months and months of suffering. i don't think there is one single person in sri lanka who has not been affected by a lack of essentials. particularly the lack of fuel over the last few weeks have basically hampered every activity that sri lankans can possibly think of doing. that has got people by the thousands to the street. we saw crowds marching in, they stormed and charged, and basically have been asking since for the president and the prime minister both to resign immediately. i the prime minister both to resign immediately-— the prime minister both to resign immediately. i appreciate that you are on a rooftop, _ immediately. i appreciate that you are on a rooftop, and _ immediately. i appreciate that you are on a rooftop, and it— immediately. i appreciate that you are on a rooftop, and it is- immediately. i appreciate that you are on a rooftop, and it is a - immediately. i appreciate that you are on a rooftop, and it is a bit- are on a rooftop, and it is a bit windy, but maybejust are on a rooftop, and it is a bit windy, but maybe just be a and more into your headphone mic, a lot of people in the uk will wonder, how

did it come to the point where people have to risk arrest and prosecution, and take matters into their own hands like this? this prosecution, and take matters into their own hands like this?- their own hands like this? as you can see i their own hands like this? as you can see i am _ their own hands like this? as you can see i am an _ their own hands like this? as you can see i am an almost _ their own hands like this? as you can see i am an almost completej can see i am an almost complete darkness, we have been experiencing power cuts for months and months now, and food is unbearably expensive. the last straw was that people were unable to travel to work, they were unable to earn their daily wages, that was the last straw, and people could not take it any more, and that is what we been seeing since this morning, or over the last couple of days, people have made very long, difficultjourneys on foot to come to the epicentre of this protest. it is a revolution that we are seeing, we are hopeful that we are seeing, we are hopeful that it won't turn violent, as we have seen in the past, but it is certainly a revolution.-

have seen in the past, but it is certainly a revolution. thank you for aaivin certainly a revolution. thank you for giving us _ certainly a revolution. thank you for giving us that _ certainly a revolution. thank you for giving us that insight. - the local police chief injapan's nara prefecture has said there were flaws in the security provided to the formerjapanese prime minister, shinzo abe, who was assassinated on friday. the official admitted the security plan for mr abe's visit was formulated the day before his arrival and it was possible not enough security was placed behind the former leader as he spoke to a crowd. mr abe's body has been taken to tokyo. an unemployed forty—one—year—old man has admitted the killing, using a homemade gun. twitter and elon musk are in an extraordinary standoff over his £36 billion deal to buy the social media company. the world's richest man wants to pull out of the deal, claiming he's not received the data he asked for about the number of fake or spam accounts on the platform.

but twitter�*s board says it will sue mr musk to enforce the deal. for more on this story here is our business and economics reporter ben king. he has played it out very publicly? he has played it out very publicly? he has played it out very publicly? he has a very high profile, he is really out of the headlines, and this has been a particularly high profile deal. he is saying that he wants to back out of this enormous deal, but the bot issue is the one that he has raised, the number of fake or spam bot accounts are much higher than twitter says, and he says he has not been given the information he wants on this. he he has a point, does he not, when you're about to buy a company, you want to know how many real followers it has to make sure that what you

are paying for is real, he may be the richest man in the world but he did not become rich by being a stupid businessman? that did not become rich by being a stupid businessman?— did not become rich by being a stupid businessman? that is true, but investors _ stupid businessman? that is true, but investors are _ stupid businessman? that is true, but investors are saying _ stupid businessman? that is true, but investors are saying that - stupid businessman? that is true, but investors are saying that he i stupid businessman? that is true, i but investors are saying that he had the opportunity to do what is called due diligence to make sure before the deal was agreed. he publicly waved that, saying here is his price, the board took it, and now they are saying, you have signed the papers, the deal has been agreed, you have to pony up and receive the shares you have bought. it is you have to pony up and receive the shares you have bought.— you have to pony up and receive the shares you have bought. it is a done deal as far — shares you have bought. it is a done deal as far as _ shares you have bought. it is a done deal as far as they _ shares you have bought. it is a done deal as far as they are _ shares you have bought. it is a done deal as far as they are concerned, i deal as far as they are concerned, there was no more negotiation? that is riaht, it there was no more negotiation? that is right. it was _ there was no more negotiation? that is right, it was just _ there was no more negotiation? trust is right, it was just a there was no more negotiation? trust is right, it wasjust a case of is right, it was just a case of actually completing the transaction. what does this mean for twitter as a company? the what does this mean for twitter as a com an ? . ., , , company? the uncertainty is extremely — company? the uncertainty is extremely damaging - company? the uncertainty is extremely damaging for- company? the uncertainty is extremely damaging for any| company? the uncertainty is - extremely damaging for any company. lots of employees are very unhappy at the prospect of working for elon musk, there have been a lot of

high—profile departures, and this prolongs the uncertainty even further. it would be good for twitter�*s shareholders if the deal does go ahead, because the price that he offered is probably higher than they will be able to get further shares from anyone else. there has been a lot of commentary, even by people like yourself, about twitter, because social media, and what it needs to offer its followers is changing all the time. there is a lot of competition now, tick—tock has taken off, one does wonder why elon musk wanted twitter so badly, what were his plans? he elon musk wanted twitter so badly, what were his plans?— elon musk wanted twitter so badly, what were his plans? he is obviously a bi user what were his plans? he is obviously a big user of — what were his plans? he is obviously a big user of the _ what were his plans? he is obviously a big user of the platform, _ what were his plans? he is obviously a big user of the platform, he - what were his plans? he is obviously a big user of the platform, he was i what were his plans? he is obviously a big user of the platform, he was al a big user of the platform, he was a fan, but he is described himself as a free—speech absolutist, he's a big defender of free speech on the platform, and he has been talking about bringing back former us president donald trump to the platform. that may have been our factor in his decision, he may have been surprised at this year,

water temperature has not yet reached this peak, and i'm down in cornwall, and the water temperature here is barely above 16 degrees. it is still quite chilly when you jump in. if you do take that decision to suddenlyjump into water pull yourself off, that can really have quite a sharp physical effect on your body. it can cause you to gas, it will put fatigue into your muscles straightaway, and it is quite a shock to your system. flit quite a shock to your system. of course, there is the obvious risk of current as well, and being swept out to sea, and obviously, lakes as well, and stone quarries, people are often tempted to jump into them, how much of the difficulty is it for you when the beach has become really crowded? i have often wondered, when i am sat on a beach, and there are thousands of people there, how do you spot people who are in trouble?

the first two there is to go to a lifeguard on the beach, lifeguards are trained to with exact scenario, the beach near me will often have 12 to 14,000 the beach near me will often have 12 to 1a,000 people, and life will often set out the safest areas, to try to guide people, so we can first of all put people in a safe place and then provide supervision, so that as and when people drift out of the safe zones, . .. that as and when people drift out of the safe zones,... our tip there is that if you are heading to the coast, please do a little bit of planning, and check if you are heading to a lifeguard at beach. find heading to a lifeguard at beach. and in cyberspace there is a lot of chitchat about what to do if you are in trouble, what would you advise,

if you are in trouble, you can't get back to the beach, what would you advise that you do?— back to the beach, what would you advise that you do? whether you are in the sea. — advise that you do? whether you are in the sea. or— advise that you do? whether you are in the sea, or as _ advise that you do? whether you are in the sea, or as you _ advise that you do? whether you are in the sea, or as you mentioned i advise that you do? whether you are in the sea, or as you mentioned a i in the sea, or as you mentioned a minute ago, a quarry, a lake, whatever. one of the first things to do is to adopt the float position, tip your head back so that your ears are in the water, spread out your arms and lies, and you will stay floating in the water. take a minute to work out what is happening, are you floating away from the shore, or are you in a stable position? can you swim to safety, or do you need to call for help? once you're in that position, you are perfectly safe, wait for a while, gather your thoughts, and resist the temptation to panic. that is the first temptation when you fall in the water, is to panic, but take a minute, float, and work out whether you're going to swim to safety or call for help. you're going to swim to safety or call for help-— call for help. thank you for your time and thank _ call for help. thank you for your time and thank you _ call for help. thank you for your time and thank you to _

call for help. thank you for your time and thank you to all i call for help. thank you for your time and thank you to all of i call for help. thank you for your | time and thank you to all of your colleagues. let's go live now to chetan pathak, who's at wimbledon for us. he is enjoying the sunshine and the tennis no doubt, how is it looking? these championships are going to end in a heatwave, and i can tell you that ons jabeur, the minister of happiness as they call her, she is trying to be... she has her nose in front. she says he was going to come back this year and win it. she is taking on elena rybakina at this

moment, the 23—year—old from kazakhstan, she changed her nationality from russian four years ago, she has never reached this far in a grand slam, and whoever wins this will be our first time grand slam winner. rybakina, herfirst serve has been so consistent throughout this championship, but it is faltered, which is allowed ons jabeur to take this early break. she said she works on meditation and visualisation techniques, and she said she has visualised her winning these championships. bear in mind, this is the first day of eid, a lot of people from her region will be celebrating that, but she is seeing whether or not she can win that first time championship, and you can see that she has not quite managed

to make the break at the moment, she is still 3—1 up in the first set, bearin is still 3—1 up in the first set, bear in mind that this was not the final that many people expected, the world number one, iga swiatek went out early. this, of all the grand slams, is the one she wants to win the most, and ons jabeur has that early lead, 3—1 in the first set. you have seen a lot of the players in action, a lot of new, sometimes unheard—of talent, do you think this has been a particularly exciting wimbledon, particularly for new players? i wimbledon, particularly for new -la ers? ~ . , wimbledon, particularly for new .la ers? ~' ., , , players? i think it has, it is felt oen players? i think it has, it is felt 0 en on players? i think it has, it is felt open on both — players? i think it has, it is felt open on both sides. _ players? i think it has, it is felt open on both sides. bear- players? i think it has, it is felt open on both sides. bear in i players? i think it has, it is felt i open on both sides. bear in mind, we have lost the russian and belarusian players, including the men's number one daniil medvedev, roger federer,

for the first time in years not at these championships. it has allowed some breakthrough moments to happen, i think in the men's draw in particular, jannik sinner reached the quarterfinals where he went out to novak djokovic, he had a really breakthrough championship, hadn't won on grass before, and elena rybakina before the pandemic was progressing really well, and that put a stop on her development. it was only injanuary this year that she picked up. cameron norrie had never reached the semifinals of a grand slam until now. we had great moments for younger players early on in this championship two. it is often the women's draw that is used to feeling very open, but this time the men's draw has to, we have nick

kyrgios in his first final as well, so it is a big breakthrough for him, and a big breakthrough for the two women in these finals at the moment. we are going to have to get used to learning new names, no doubt, djokovic, federer, the williams sisters, they can't go on forever. on stripper and elena rybakina i had the new names, and you're going to have to get used to learning both of them. it have to get used to learning both of them. , , ., ., ,, , them. it seems to happen every few ears in them. it seems to happen every few years in tennis. _ them. it seems to happen every few years in tennis, you _ them. it seems to happen every few years in tennis, you get _ them. it seems to happen every few years in tennis, you get used i them. it seems to happen every few years in tennis, you get used to i them. it seems to happen every few years in tennis, you get used to the | years in tennis, you get used to the current bunch and then a whole new generation come through, and that seems to be happening this year, i'm glad you agree with me, i would have been embarrassing if that hadn't happened. now it's time for a look at the weather. it is actually a bit cooler than it

was yesterday for much of the country, highest temperature yesterday for much of the country. more cloud in the north of the country, some rain heading towards the northern ireland is, and there's still a lot of cloud for northern ireland, but it should tend to brighten up here. top temperature properly 27 degrees in the south of england. a lovely day for england and wales, we will see the cloud heading into the north sea, and there will be cloud in the north—west of the uk. the temperatures are 11 to 1a degrees, still hot enough, but there are some hot nights to come. the low cloud and fog burns back towards the coast, we have more sunshine widely, hardly any bristol, but inland the temperatures are climbing to 27 to 29 celsius. now on bbc news, unspun world.
