5:00 pm
this is bbc news. the headlines at 5pm... trade minister penny mordaunt becomes the ninth candidate to join the conservative leadership race — with former health secretaries, sajid javid and jeremy hunt, also declaring in the last 2a hours. in eastern ukraine 15 people died when an apartment block was shelled in the donestk region. sri lanka's deepening economic crisis: the president says he'll step down after huge demonstrations, the us appeals to politicians to act swiftly. the men's final at wimbledon is about to go in to a fifth set with defending champion novak djokovic facing nick kyrgios. and, temperatures rise around the uk, with scotland recording its warmest day
5:01 pm
of the year so far — we'll be talking to a cafe owner in arboyne. that afternoon. the international trade minister, penny mordaunt, has become the ninth candidate to enter the conservative leadership contest. most candidates are focusing on their plans for the economy. the former health secretary, sajid javid, wants to bring forward the 1p income tax cut to next year. both mrjavid and the former cabinet minister, jeremy hunt, are also pledging to reduce corporation tax from 19% to 15%. here's our political correspondent, david wallace lockhart.
5:02 pm
and then there were nine. trade minister penny mordaunt the latest to throw her hat in the ring to be the next tory leader. many candidates but one key issue — taxes. former health secretary sajid javid will cut them if he is prime minister, including a tax rise introduced to help the health service when he ran it. if we don't have the tax cuts we will not get growth, if we do not get growth we will not be able to sustain the public services. that is a much greater risk. in all my time in government, i have never come across a decision, especially the big decisions, that don't involve risk one way or the other. his rivaljeremy hunt promises a brexiteer deputy if he gets to number ten and is also pledging tax cuts, focusing on lowering the cost of business. treasury figures show you get about half the cost
5:03 pm
of corporation tax back because of increased economic activity. if we keep the cycle, keep the fiscal rules we have but increase the length of the cycle to five years, we can afford these tax cuts. transport secretary grant shapps says there will be an emergency budget if party members pick him. i think it is very important in this cost of living squeeze that people get money back into their pockets, and quickly, so i would bring the tax cut slated for next year forward. five new candidates within 2a hours. chancellor nadhim zahawi is also running, and pledging lower taxes, like others. the field is starting to feel a bit crowded in this leadership contest and it is entirely possible that when senior conservative mps meet here at westminster tomorrow to decide on rules for the contest they decide to introduce a threshold for support from fellow mps that any mp would need to get even to get into the first round of voting. many candidates and more to come,
5:04 pm
with foreign secretary liz truss expected to declare a bid in the next 2a hours. david wallace lockhart, bbc news, westminster. well now that penny mordaunt has become the latest mp to throw their hat in the ring, i spoke tojonathan blake about her chances along with how the rest of the race is progressing. she has previously been in the cabinet. she will have to tread a very fine line because she has come as he suggests, kept herself at arms length from borisjohnson, despite serving in his government as a trade minister and as previous they cabinet experience come as you say, as defence secretary. but that experience will be key. also, with her brexiteer credentials and drying significant support also, with her brexiteer credentials and drawing significant support from across the party, though we have yet to hear what her policies would be... we just got a lunch video, which voices of her,
5:05 pm
but it's sort of quite a warm image of britain, isn't it? a pledge to serve, but no details. stirring music, beautiful landscapes, you know, a deep voice narrating the video, but very little of her, and i think the point she is trying to make is that this is not about personality, it's about substance, it's about a serious person putting themselves forward to do the job and her service in the military will of course come into play there as well. she's undoubtedly a key contender. it sort of misleading, isn't it? quite a junior minister, because actually she was before quite senior. yes, and has since sort of slightly faded from view as far as the public may be concerned, but definitely remains a significant voice within the party. it's a very crowded field, they currently seem to be taking chunks out of each other over the question of taxation. we heard from pauljohnson a little earlier, we will not hearfrom him now, butjust from where you sit, how difficult an argument is this, the taxation one? arguably, borisjohnson would quite
5:06 pm
like to cut taxes but didn't get the opportunity to direct. no. you're absolutely right. taxation is emerging as the key battleground for this contest, and it is quickly turning into a race of who can cut taxes most and the quickest. there will be arguments and points made about how responsible it is to promise very expensive policy moves from these contenders, but absolutely no doubt that on the conservative back benches, that is, i think, pretty much the number one priority that most mps want to hear from their perspective leader is what they would do to ease the taxation burden, which many conservative backbenchers see as being far too high at the moment. it's most difficult, frankly, for rishi which, is why it is very clear already that the one dividing line between him and pretty much all the other candidates is a promise to cut taxes. he's talked about difficult decisions being honest with people rather than offering fairy tales,
5:07 pm
which is not too difficult to decipher as code for "i'm not going to rush to cut taxes "particularly quickly," because obviously he has served as chancellor most recently and has, you know, seen fit to keep taxes relatively high as they are at the moment and not rush to cut them, which he would see as irresponsible. i took itook up i took up the theme of taxation with pauljohnson, the director of the institute of physical studies. he had this assessment on the debate of taxation. well, of course, tax cuts are always better than tax increases. that is something that we would all generally prefer. but given where we are at the moment, there are two key problems with tax cuts, one is clearly lots of pressure on public spending. huge waiting lists at the nhs and problems with a&e waiting times and so on and so on, as well as, of course, demands for public sector pay increases that
5:08 pm
at least approach inflation. on the other hand, we have got very high levels of inflation, and if you are going to cut taxes and increased borrowing, probably the time you don't really want to do it is when prices are already rising at 10% or more because that means putting more money into the economy and therefore more pressure onto inflation. i was talking to one conservative mp an hour ago saying, look, tax cuts would be a good thing because it would stimulate the economy and get people spending again, and that will be good for business, but presumably that is good for business unless it adds to the inflationary impact. we want to stimulate the economy but in a particular way. we particularly need the supply chain to get better. what we are not short of at the moment are people spending money, and that is in a sense why part of the reason, at least, why inflation is high is because there is pressure
5:09 pm
on supply chains around the world and we want to spend our money on those goods, and the prices of those goods is rising. now, i'm not saying that a £10 billion tax cut is going to have any significant effect on inflation, but it is certainly pushing in the risky direction to stop what we are not looking at the moment is an economy where there is too little consumer demand. if you push up consumer demand when the supply side has constraints, then you do risk that pushing their into inflation. many of these tax cuts were based on forecasts drawn up when inflation was running at 4%. so now it is 11% or so, certainly heading towards ii%, the question i suppose is can they stand? and what impact does this increase in inflation have on public spending? at the moment, part of the problem is the figures on the public finances are based, as you say, on the spending review that was done last september. that spending review was done
5:10 pm
when the expectation was that inflation would peak at no more than 4%. so the perception that was that public sector pay, for example, would rise only by 3%—4% this year. now, i think that is pretty impossible now. can we really increase teacher and nurse pay by three or 4% this year when inflation is at ten or ii%? particularly that they've actually had pay cuts over the last decade. the pressure is on the public finances, and public spending, are much higher than was expected back in september. one of the things i think the candidates ought to be focusing on is, "so what is my view "on public spending? "will i be giving inflation pay raises to teachers, nurses and so on?" and if i'm going to come how am i going to pay for that? and what do i want to do with the public services? with the health service, with education in to the median turn rather than this very partial focus just on tax, where it is terribly
5:11 pm
easy to say that we want to cut taxes, but it is much harder to say how we went to reform public services or make public services work in a world in which they may have less money. pauljohnson, chief of physical studies. live to centre court now to the novak djokovic match, in the third set. it has been quite a tense run of shots, and there it is. let's dip into the commentary. this summar— dip into the commentary. this superstar player. _ he wouldn't say it has been his easiest year.
5:12 pm
applause he is recreating the sliding move that he produced in the come back, a backhand pass that was the shot of the tournament. and now he makes his way to his wife and his support group, and there is a little door up there, his seventh championship, and thatis there, his seventh championship, and that is one grand slam of wrath and a doll once again.— his mum, dad... that is novak
5:13 pm
djokovic's seventh wimbledon men's single title. he beats nick kyrgios 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 and single title. he beats nick kyrgios 4—6, 6—3, 7—6 and the final. what a performance after a very, very tense match with nick kyrgios who was not happy on several locations. let's speak now live to my colleague who is there for us as he has been throughout the tournament. chetan, it has been quite a men's final. it has. i think it's ended how most people suspected it would come a because novak djokovic's record on centre court has been so formidable. that now is 39 consecutive wins on that court. he hasn't lost at the all england club since 2017. the numbers all around are staggering from novak djokovic, but he did drop the first set, naturally he started
5:14 pm
a little nervous, a little edgy, and nick kyrgios playing with freedom, playing in his first grand slam final, took the first set by six games to four. but novak djokovic, we saw him do this against cameron norrie in the finals, so good at resetting, getting his game back where he wants that. he's been in this position time and time again. and he really then was able to get the better of nick kyrgios across the next three sets. nick kyrgios to me yet again to me you mentioned there a while ago that that chunk cheering away was quite frustrated with his own box for not supporting him how he wanted called out a women in the crowd who is frustrating him when he told the umpire about the many empires that i don't know who you are talking about, he said it's the one who looks like she's had 700 drinks. so he was letting those things get to him as we have seen time and time again. he kept his cool, kept calm, kept composed. a seventh wimbledon title that brings a level and a 21st grand slam title that moves him head
5:15 pm
of roger february's total of 20, and within one of rafael the doll grand total in the men's game of 20 the record at the moment.— record at the moment. chetan, in terms of how _ record at the moment. chetan, in terms of how this _ record at the moment. chetan, in terms of how this match - record at the moment. chetan, in terms of how this match has - record at the moment. chetan, in | terms of how this match has gone, how would you attack back where would you say was the moment, was there a moment you felt that it was finally shifting and novak djokovic's favour? because both of them are impressive tennis players, in a sense, both at the top of their game to me you could argue that nick kyrgios still has got room and certainly time to grow. but novak djokovic has been such a commanding player for so djokovic has been such a commanding playerfor so long, and ijust wonder if there was a moment in the match where you felt as an observer and as somebody who has watched the whole tournament this time that it was going to end this way? i think when novak— was going to end this way? i think when novak djokovic, _ was going to end this way? i think when novak djokovic, he - was going to end this way? i think when novak djokovic, he never. when novak djokovic, he never panics. he spent too many of these finals now and he knows what it takes to win. i think he was expecting nick kyrgios to come out strong today, playing with a looser
5:16 pm
arm, with more freedom, nothing to lose, rememberthat arm, with more freedom, nothing to lose, remember that novak djokovic lost the first sent to cameron norrie, he lost the first two sets of his quarterfinal to yannick. he's come up against players who are in uncharted territory, and i don't think forjaco that she worries too much. if he loses a first or second sets, he has that much belief in his game, and i think the key point was once he was level, once he won that second set by six games to three and it took himself off for a toilet break, and i think that he knew that the match was very much in his hands and. nick kyrgios has an outstanding serve, one of the best we've ever seenin serve, one of the best we've ever seen in the men's game, and incredible grass courts came but the reality is novak djokovic has a bigger toolkit, reality is novak djokovic has a biggertoolkit, more reality is novak djokovic has a bigger toolkit, more variety, reality is novak djokovic has a biggertoolkit, more variety, more comfortable i think moving around the court and nick kyrgios is a great movie. novak djokovic is the greatest return are in my opinion in the history of men's tennis, and when you have got that on your side and the winning record that he has here at wimbledon, why would he worry? i personally think rfa on the doll was the one that would've posed
5:17 pm
novak djokovic the biggest challenge in this challenge. the fact that he had to withdraw from a semifinal means that that big threat was gone, and i think novak djokovic always felt as though if he turned up and played this game as he has done in the past, he would win final. interestingly, he played before these championships both of them in straight sets, but that was in 2017 when novak djokovic wasn't at his best. i think what will be the please novak djokovic is that he has played himself into form across these championships and has won a grand slam title, that is significant because he may not play now at the french open next year at that us open to come. in the us australian open because of his covid status, which means the next slam he plays in ten months' time in paris, he knows that he wants to move ahead of his record of 22 which is within one of that now by winning this wimbledon title. we one of that now by winning this wimbledon title.— one of that now by winning this wimbledon title. we have 'ust seen the duchess — wimbledon title. we have 'ust seen the duchess of h wimbledon title. we have just seen the duchess of cambridge, - wimbledon title. we have just seen the duchess of cambridge, the - wimbledon title. we have just seen i the duchess of cambridge, the patron of the tennis club prepared to hand over the trophy. just one last thoughts, nick kyrgios had been
5:18 pm
resting, he had to play semi—. he had been in control of his temper. is this still has big problem? usually nick kyrgios shows us that when things are going his way, he is fine can he can be measured and composed, when he senses that matches are out of his hands or he's playing an opponent that is playing better, he starts looking elsewhere for things to blame, and today it was his family, his friends, his box that he was really frustrated with because they weren't supporting him when he really felt he needed their support. 0n certain points he was looking up at the and centring away. 0ur he will find something to vent his energy, his nervous energy away in the crowd, and today there was a woman in particular that was frustrating him, hollering out at times and that is who he complained about to the empire. it's a huge part of him. he is a character, a mermaid figure. people love him or can't stand him. one thing that people would say within tennis is if he can just find a people would say within tennis is if he canjust find a bit people would say within tennis is if he can just find a bit of control, with that side of things, if he can just iron out that side of his game and really be more focused and
5:19 pm
measured, who knows what he could achieve, because in terms of technicals in terms of his tennis, he is an outstanding talent, but some will say that as part of what makes him who he is. we will not never know that answer. he is not a grand slam champion today step i do have to let you go to our colleagues at the busy world. the world is watching that. chetan their receiving the runners—up trophy, nick kyrgios, and shaking hands with officials and representatives of the wimbledon team. now, novak djokovic will receive the trophy. figs wimbledon team. now, novak d'okovic will receive the trophy.�* will receive the trophy. as the men's singles _ will receive the trophy. as the men's singles champion - will receive the trophy. as the men's singles champion of. will receive the trophy. as the i men's singles champion of 2022. applause chanting

from everybody! speaking with novak djokovic, and nick kyrgios, _ from everybody! speaking with novak djokovic, and nick kyrgios, i- djokovic, and nick kyrgios, i thought that was a very polite relationship. that is the scene on centre court add to wimbledon. more coverage on bbc one live as we speak to and news that bbc one is at seven o'clock following the wimbledon coverage. now, in other news, sunak heathrow airport has apologised to people for disruption caused for disruption caused by more flights running late at night. punctuality has fallen in recent months as airlines deal with staffing shortages. the situation has caused carriers including british airways and easyjet to cancel 40,000 flights over the summer. willie walsh, is the director general of of the international air transport association. h esays it should still be possible to accomodate everyone who wants to travel abroad: many airports around europe are functioning perfectly well. there have been some challenges in the uk as well. documented manchester had problems in the early stages. heathrow certainly has difficulties at the moment. they're not meeting their basic standards and it's clear that they can't as they go forward.
5:29 pm
i think it is right, though, that these cancellations are made early because at least that will allow airlines and their customers to adapt to the revised schedules. so i actually expect people to be able to get away. i think there will be some disruption, but i don't think it's on the scale that we've seen to date. and i believe that there are solutions being put in place. much of the country is currently enjoying a heatwave. scotland has recorded its warmest day so far, with aboyne in aberdeenshire recording a temperature of 26.7 celsius. the met office has issued a level three heatwave alert for parts of england. from nine o'clock tomorrow morning until friday, temperatures could get as high as 32 degrees celsius. our correspondent helena wilkinson, has this report from southend—on—sea. southend—on—sea, basking in the hotjuly sun. crowds began arriving

here from early this morning, hoping to secure the best spot for a day at the seaside. we came from london, an hour away, and we came because it is really hot, so we came to enjoy the beach and go in the water. lovely to come down on a lovely hot day, lovely to relax and chill with the grandchildren. you start getting a bit hot, - so when you go to the beach you can swim in the sea and you cool off. by mid—morning the temperature here had reached 21 celsius. it will get hotter as the day goes on. the high temperatures will continue next week across most of the country. parents and carers have been reminded to make sure children are well protected. just being a bit careful, making sure there is plenty of shade if they are feeling a bit overheated. short bursts in the sunshine, covering them top to toe in suncream, regular re—applications of that and also having light clothing on top as well.
