one of the candidates tipped to be a possible frontrunner in the conservative leadership contest has ruled himself out. the defence secretary ben wallace said it had not been an easy choice but his focus was on keeping the country safe. four mps have entered the race so far — including the former chancellor, rishi sunak. number ten has said his resignation was a "real disappointment", suggesting he'd betrayed boris johnson. 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, and 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.

let's head to wimbledon now because the women's singles final has just finished, and hasjust finished, and elena rybakina has become the first to win. it was hard to call, wasn't it? she has become the youngest champion here, since 2011. born in russia, but representing kazakhstan, she did it the hard way, ons jabeur, the

world number two, she took the first set, but credit to rybakina, she really fought her way back into this, she is an incredible power player. she has one of the best serves in women's tennis, and once she got the error is out of her game in that first set, and found a more measured, composed pace, she was able to dissect, let's just listen... i able to dissect, let's “ust listen. . .i able to dissect, let's 'ust listen... , ., ., ., ~ listen... i 'ust want to say thank ou to listen... i just want to say thank you to the _ listen... i just want to say thank you to the support, _ listen... i just want to say thank you to the support, the - listen... i just want to say thank you to the support, the crowd, l listen... i just want to say thank| you to the support, the crowd, it was unbelievable. cheering of course, i want to congratulate ons for— of course, i want to congratulate ons for the — of course, i want to congratulate ons for the match,... ons forthe match,... cheering you have an amazing game, it isjust

and it has been consistently in the press, perhaps unfairly, because it is taken that attention away. people have asked, do you feel russian, kazakhstan, which are you more affiliated with? she said she found that too difficult to answer. clearly she feels a huge connection with the homeland of russia, but the kazakhstan tennis federation were the ones who invested in her, and thatis the ones who invested in her, and that is who she was banking there, the president of the kazakhstan federation, who put the money in and allowed her to become a grand slam champion. there's no getting away from the fact that the russian born national is lifting the wimbledon trophy, and what i thought was also incredibly powerful was for her to honour ons jabeur, because she has been a story of this championship, trying to make history of her own. this is a sport where more often than not we are talking about european and american success, we

have had australian grand slam winners, other countries at times, but no arab or african women has got this far. she was in the position to win, she was very good after taking the first set, but she will have to unpack what went wrong, she got tight, got nervous, too many errors, and credit to rybakina for pouncing on that. in the end... she was defeated and became a champion, ons jabeur said she was determined to become a wimbledon champion one day. one wonders if her best chance is now behind her, but credits again to elena rybakina, nobody was giving her a chance before the championships, and here she is, the wimbledon champion. litters? championships, and here she is, the wimbledon champion. new excitement at wimbledon —

wimbledon champion. new excitement at wimbledon this _ wimbledon champion. new excitement at wimbledon this year, _ wimbledon champion. new excitement at wimbledon this year, elena - at wimbledon this year, elena rybakina posing for photos with the photographers now, but we believe leave it there. let's return to our stop story, which is of course the conservative party leadership race. lets speak with our political correspondent, jonathan blake. it has gone a bit quiet in westminster, but we are beginning to hear from westminster, but we are beginning to hearfrom people westminster, but we are beginning to hear from people who westminster, but we are beginning to hearfrom people who might run, and those who we know are running. lmilieu those who we know are running. when the tennis is — those who we know are running. when the tennis is on, _ those who we know are running. when the tennis is on, it _ those who we know are running. when the tennis is on, it is _ those who we know are running. when the tennis is on, it is now— those who we know are running. “when the tennis is on, it is now perhaps not the time to grab the headlines when you're a serious candidate for the conservative party leadership, so perhaps for today we have heard from all we are going to in terms of people throwing their hat in the

ring. rishi sunak, the former chancellor, saying this is a moment that needs to be grasped, emphasising his experience, and the need for truth overfairy emphasising his experience, and the need for truth over fairy tales, as he put it in a campaign video that went online yesterday. then, there is the attorney general suella braverman, who is promising to cut taxes, and then kemi badenoch, who is emphasising the need for a small state. and, tom tugendhat, and our colleagues have caught up with him at a small fete, earlier today. lm at a small fete, earlier today. i'm roud to at a small fete, earlier today. i'm proud to be _ at a small fete, earlier today. i'm proud to be back here today, because this is— proud to be back here today, because this is who _ proud to be back here today, because this is who i _ proud to be back here today, because this is who i am, i'm very proud of our community, i'm very proud of our country. _ our community, i'm very proud of our country. as— our community, i'm very proud of our country, as you know i have spent ten or— country, as you know i have spent ten or 15_ country, as you know i have spent ten or 15 years serving our country,

cabinet, and so it would have been a bit of an outside choice, let“s cabinet, and so it would have been a bit of an outside choice, let's put it that way, but as you say, earlier today, he ruled himself out of the running, saying that was a very difficult decision to have made. all eyes will be on who he throws his weight behind, will it be one of the candidates who have already declared, orsome candidates who have already declared, or some of the others who we are expecting to be seriously considering it, foreign secretary, will this trust, for example. —— liz truss. thousands of protesters have stormed the official 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. earlier i spoke to kalani kumarasinghe who is the features editor at sri lanka“s daily mirror. she told me people have taken action because they are tired of suffering from a lack of essentials. it is a revolution that was born out of months and months of suffering, because i do not think there is one single person in sri lanka who has not been affected by the lack of essentials. you can see i am in complete darkness, almost complete darkness. we have been experiencing power cuts

for months and months now and food is unbearably expensive and 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 really could not take it any more and that is what we have been seeing since this morning and the last couple of days, people have made really long, difficult journeys on foot to come to the epicentre of this protest, the gota—go village, that is the presidential secretariat right here in colombo. it is a revolution that we are seeing. we are hopeful that it will not turn violent, as we have seen in the past, but yes, certainly it is a revolution. the local police chief injapan“s nara prefecture has said there were flaws in the security provided to the former japanese 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. speaking at a news conference, police chief tomoaki onizuka, said they will review their security procedures. translation: shinzo abe, the former prime minister, | was shot whilst under police guard. the consequences are extremely grave and serious. the fact that this has happened is a matter of utmost regret. i cannot deny there were problems with the security detail, which led to such a serious outcome. police must consider concrete steps to strengthen security arrangements,

or review existing measures. twitter and elon musk are in an extraordinary standoff over his 36—and—a—half billion pound 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. to explain more about the billionaire is trying to back out, i spoke to the technology journalist shona ghosh. i think this is properly a case of the richest man in the world bending the rules as he sees fit. he doesn't tend to go with the established modes of doing things, and in part that is what has made him the richest man in the world. i don't think it's ever been that clear from the very beginning of this whole saga that elon musk“s offer to buy twitter was ever that serious, so anybody who watching it closely expected there might be a number of different outcomes, one of which

might be musk trying to pull out of the deal, or trying to lower the price of twitter. as it stands, he is trying to buy it for $41; billion, and there is a question as to whether it is worth $44 question as to whether it is worth $41; billion, so this is potentially him trying to lower the price through unconventional means. if this was a done deal, which is what twitter“s board seem to think, is his argument good enough“s?

elon musk as a personality has a tendency to overcome incredible odds, but having said that, he did agree to buy twitter, and it feels difficult to me to see how he is going to say, i didn't have enough information to go on. part of the agreement to buy twitter was him saying that he did have enough information to go on, or i am comfortable not having that information. i“m comfortable with the bot scenario, which is our major part of why he is pulling out of the deal. so, i suspect a court battle will be protracted. it is partly, as i say, whether this may be an attempt to settle out of court, do the deal but in a slightly different way, and at a cheaper price which seems slightly more feasible. certainly, i don't think it is going to be simple for elon musk to pull out of the deal.

why do you think he wanted, or may still want, to buy it? there are other social media platforms, and some come and go. i think there is a number of things, he is very active on twitter for a man who runs lots of companies, and he seems to have a lot of time to be on twitter. the other thing, i think, and this is a theory of why twitter may be undervalued, is that if you look at twitter in terms of the realm of the media landscape, it is as powerful as newspapers, if not more powerful. this is perhaps a way of elon musk are doing that billionaire thing, where he buys a media platform, and perhaps it is more powerful than a tv empire or newspapers. this is one way that he could control something that is very powerful.

max verstappen will start tomorrow's austrian grand prix from pole after winning today's sprint race at the red bull ring. the world champion made the perfect start from pole leaving the ferraris of charles leclerc and carlos sainz to fight amongst themselves. lewis hamilton started from ninth after crashing in qualifying and was almost taken out at the first corner. he ended up eighth. victory for verstappen increased his lead in the drivers“ championship to 38 points. england's cricketers are looking to level their three match t20 series with india at edgbaston. england won the toss and decided to bowl first in match 2. india started strongly with rohit sharma fast out
