good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and sally nugent. our headlines today. now there are 11. foreign secretary liz truss adds her name to the growing field of conservative mps wanting to be party leader, as backbenchers meet to finalise the election rules. hotter than hawaii. as temperatures across the uk soar, a heatwave alert is issued for large parts of england, with people urged to check on the vulnerable and the elderly. and the heat wave conditions could last all week's impulse of south—east england. next weekend even hotter. the latest plan to control grey squirrel numbers, contraception hidden

in their favourite treat. it's a kind of hazelnut butter. and what the scientists are doing is dosing this with contraceptives. the idea is the squirrels will be unaffected, except of course, except of course, they won't be able to produce any young. seventh heaven for novak djokovic as he wins another wimbledon title, his fourth in a row, coming from a set down to beat nick kyrgios in the men's singles final. both england and northern ireland are back in action tonight in the women's heroes. i'm in brighton whether lionesses host norway. —— the women's euros. it's monday 11th july. our main story. foreign secretary liz truss has launched a bid to succeed boris johnson as conservative leader. ms truss said she would cut taxes from "day one", should she become prime minister. last night, foreign office minister rehman chishti also declared his intention to run. it's a crowded field, with 11 candidates standing so far.

conservative backbenchers meet today to decide the election rules, with measures to reduce the size of the field likely. here's our political correspondentjonathan blake. good afternoon, minister. long seen as a potential tory leader, the foreign secretary liz truss is popular with conservative members. she entered the race last night, promising vision, experience and resolve. and like most of her fellow contenders, tax cuts are high on her agenda. writing in the daily telegraph, ms truss says... have you got what it takes to be pm? the policy pits her and the other main candidates against the former chancellor rishi sunak. the early frontrunner, who has played down the prospect of tax cuts in the short term. freedom, liberty and human rights. you may not recognise the 11th candidate to throw their hat in the ring.

rehman chishti recently made a foreign office minister. he and other less well—known candidates may fall at the first hurdle, as conservative mps meeting later to finalise the rules are likely to set a relatively high bar for the number of supporters needed to enter the first round of voting. in this crowded field, with a high prize at stake, the competition is intense. jonathan blake, bbc news. let's get more on this from our political correspondent nick eardley. good morning. it's a really crowded field as ijust said, but already, tax is the number one issue that everyone is talking about. goad everyone is talking about. good morninu. everyone is talking about. good morning- it _ everyone is talking about. good morning. it absolutely - everyone is talking about. good morning. it absolutely is. - everyone is talking about. good morning. it absolutely is. the i everyone is talking about. (emf. morning. it absolutely is. the list is so long i have had to write them all down this morning. i think it will get shorter over the next couple of days but tax is going to be the defining issue of this leadership campaign. there will be lots of issues we will be talking

about, over the next few weeks. but tax is one of these things that really energises the debate amongst conservatives, particularly amongst conservatives, particularly amongst conservative mps. particularly because taxes have gone up quite a bit over the last couple of years under borisjohnson. and i think you can roughly break it down into three camps. you have got rishi sunak, the favourite at the moment, he is saying, don't tell people fairy tales, we need to be realistic about this. it might mean that tax cuts have to wait. you have got some candidates in the middle, people likejeremy hunt, the former health secretary, he is saying, let's cut business taxes to try and grow the economy and stimulate businesses. but personal tax cuts, the ones that we would all see in our pay packets, they may have to wait. and then you have got people like sajid javid and i think liz truss, the foreign secretary, who are saying, let's cut personal taxes now as well. there

have been some warnings about that, the institute for fiscal studies, the institute for fiscal studies, the guys you crunch the numbers saying we have got to be honest with people about what the consequences of cutting tax should be, it means the government does not get as much money. we will hear a lot about tax in the next few weeks. fire money. we will hear a lot about tax in the next few weeks.— in the next few weeks. are we expecting _ in the next few weeks. are we expecting there _ in the next few weeks. are we expecting there to _ in the next few weeks. are we expecting there to be - in the next few weeks. are we expecting there to be quite i in the next few weeks. are we expecting there to be quite so i in the next few weeks. are we - expecting there to be quite so many candidates when this election actually gets under way? 7 candidates when this election actually gets under way? ? actually gets under way?? definitely not. in a actually gets under way?? definitely not- in a coume _ actually gets under way?? definitely not. in a couple of— actually gets under way?? definitely not. in a couple of weeks' _ actually gets under way?? definitely not. in a couple of weeks' time - not. in a couple of weeks' time there will be two left. over the next few weeks the process in parliament will be tory mp basically whittling that let down pretty quickly. we will get the exact rules later today but within the next couple of days you will have to have about 20 mps backing you to get onto the ballot that tory mps will vote on. they will vote pretty much every day, actually, to get that list down to two. i think by next wednesday or thursday, we will have an idea of

the two last people who are in the race for pm. the hot weather is expected to continue this week and a heat—health alert has been issued for some parts of the uk from this morning. temperatures are forecast to reach up to 31 celsius, that's 87 fahrenheit, today in southern england where people are advised to stay indoors in the middle of the day, drink plenty of fluids and take extra care of young children. laura trant has this report. hotter than hawaii. parts of the uk sweltered on sunday as temperatures soared to 30 celsius. i've brought my daughter for the first time, she is loving it being here in the sea. we are loving it more than her, i think. we came from london an hour away, and we came because it was really hot so it is came to enjoy the beach and go in the water. cakes, picnic, the sun! weekend temperatures were hotter than some parts of sardinia, turkey and even the caribbean.

but with the heat, there are health warnings. wear high factor sun cream, a hat, drink enough water, but we are also being advised to seek shade and take extra care of children, older people and pets. there is a heat health alert for england, the uk health security agency and the met office have offered issued levels two and three health alerts. level three, for the east of england, south—east and london, level four is the highest which would see a major incident declared. with the heat over the next few days, it's notjust daytime temperatures that will be one of above average, temperatures that will be well above average, but night time as well. we will see heat exhaustion, a likely outcome for many who are out in the day during the afternoon. the strong july sunshine, uv levels of seven and eight, and temperatures, we're just not used temperatures being this high for this long. here in stjames's park in london, people have been enjoying the sunshine, and it's right

here where the met office recorded its highest uk temperature of 30.1 celsius. and in scotland they had their hottest temperature of the year so far, at 29.3 degrees in fife. the warmest day of the year so far for northern ireland is well where they reached 24.3 degrees in in fermanagh. and in wales, in monmouthshire, the temperature there was recorded and in wales, in usk in monmouthshire, the temperature there was recorded at 27.9 degrees celsius. cardiff wasn't far behind. perhaps the boat was the best place to be in cardiff bay. in southend—on—sea, the ice cream queues said everything about the temperature. the highest uk temperature so far this year stands at 32.7 celsius in heathrow. that was in june. the met office said that is likely to be broken this week. laura trant, bbc news. ukrainian officials say at least 15

people have been killed after a russian rocket struck an apartment building in the donetsk region. the strike took place in the city of chasiv yar, ripping apart one side of the five—storey block and leaving a mountain of rubble. at least 20 others are feared to be buried underneath it. a vigil will be held later today for former japanese prime minister shinzo abe, who was assassinated at a political rally on friday. the 67—year—old was shot from behind during an appearance in the southern city of nara. he was rushed to hospital but pronounced dead later. police say the suspect, a 41—year—old man, has admitted the killing, using a homemade gun. protestors in sri lanka who invaded their president's official residence and set fire to the prime minister's private home at the weekend have said they'll continue to occupy the buildings until both leaders officially resign. the disturbance follows months of anger over the country's economic crisis.

we're joined now by our south asia editor, south asia editor, anbarasan ethirajan, who's in the capital colombo. what the latest there? i am outside the president's _ what the latest there? i am outside the president's officer _ what the latest there? i am outside the president's officer in _ what the latest there? i am outside the president's officer in colombo, l the president's officer in colombo, and the building here was stormed on saturday are huge crowds. this is one of the symbols of power in this country. not only the office, the residents few hundred metres away was stormed by of people. these protests have been going on since april. what started off as a cost of living crisis, people protesting against the increasing cost of basic supplies like food, fuel and medicine, turned into an anti—government protest. the protest movement blamed the rulers, the government for mismanaging the economy, particularly the prime ——

president gotabaya rajapaksa, and his brother, mahinda rajapaksa, who was the previous leader. now we have extraordinary scenes, there are thousands of people here coming every day to these people believe they have one the people's power, —— they have one the people's power, —— they have one the people's power, —— they have victory, by ousting the prime minister and president from power, though things have not happened yet. the president has hinted he will step down on wednesday, unless he resigns formally, it is going to be a long drawn out battle. thank you,. we've been hearing about the heatwave here in the uk, and we'll get the forecast from matt in a moment, but temperatures are also soaring in parts of europe. france and spain are experiencing sweltering conditions, and portugal has seen dangerous wildfires. here's tim allman.

in madrid, the sun shines down without mercy. the whole city bakes. just being outdoors can be a traumatic experience. "it's deadly," said this woman. "we're all melting. i'm carrying bobby because it's too hot, it's unbearable". it's a similar story further south in seville. umbrellas, even though there isn't a drop of rain. so intense is the heat. "the truth is, it's been hell," says this man. "just walking around, its unbelievable". high temperatures and a lack of rain can be a dangerous combination. in portugal, wildfires have burned for several days. the situation so bad the authorities have asked for emergency help from the european union. no reports of any deaths but dozens have been injured and property has been destroyed. translation: it was very sudden, a lot of smoke. . all of a sudden our

house was alight. we couldn't do anything. in paris, temperatures have reached the mid 30s, with no sign of any cooling down expected in the week ahead. europe will have to enjoy or endure the heat for now. tim allman, bbc news. matt is at blenheim palace with the weather. despite the heat, you could not resist putting the gilet on! it is still a bit fresh _ resist putting the gilet on! it is still a bit fresh in _ resist putting the gilet on! it 3 still a bit fresh in the morning! temperatures hovering in the high teens, may be low 20s. the heat is a serious situation, it could get even hotter, exceptionally hot in the uk by next weekend. but all week long, parts of south—east england. it is

the longevity of the heat will have a great impact on the health of some. it could be hotterfor it could be hotter for parts of the england and wales over the weekend, changes to the north and west but most places dry and feeling hot through today. we will see across the north and west of scotland more cloud developed through the day, a bit more praise, elsewhere —— breeze, elsewhere some sunshine and largely clear. temperatures widely high temperatures, high 20s and early 30s. in northern ireland we will see more cloud, which will bring some drizzle tonight for western scotland and northern ireland. temperatures tonight for some will not drop below 19 degrees

across parts of central england and wales and that impact of not being able to recover fully from the daytime heat which could make things even worse for those with health aspects to deal with. tuesday, not more cloud around, patchy rain and drizzle because northern and western areas, not a huge amount of rain, most places dry, brightening up in scotland and northern ireland. still very hot in the south—east corner where it could be hotter than today, up where it could be hotter than today, up to 32. things turned cooler for a short while but hot in the south—east but exceptionally hot next weekend. leaked documents show how uber secretly lobbied uk politicians to help change transport policy in london. in meetings which were never declared, uber�*s lobbyists met george osborne when he was chancellor and a number of ministers, including conservative leadership candidate sajid javid. the documents were leaked to the guardian newspaper and shared with the international consortium of investigativejournalists and bbc panorama. uber denies its lobbying was secret

and the ministers say rules were followed. richard bilton has more. when uber arrived in london, there was chaos. black cab drivers weren't happy and blockaded the capital. then london mayor, borisjohnson, set up a review which could have limited uber�*s expansion in the capital. the leaked documents show uber was on a secret offensive, a concerted campaign to influence policy. george osborne, the then chancellor, went to a private dinner in california with uber�*s chief exec, travis kalanick. an internal uber e—mail says... it's better than a meeting in london because this is a much more private affair, with no hanger—on officials or staffers. the meeting was never declared. what should our viewers make of the fact that he chose not

to declare that meeting? well, i think they should be very disturbed, frankly. it perfectly captivates the problem with lobbying and how vested interests capture ministers and decision—making. the documents say there were more meetings with ministers, including sajid javid, matt hancock, michael gove and priti patel. they weren't declared. meetings between ministers and companies where business is discussed should be declared. but the guidelines are so vague, it is hard to be sure if politicians are breaking the rules. the leaked documents show uber felt it got what it wanted. they describe george osborne as a strong advocate, who would "take up our cause when needed". and they boast that then prime minister david cameron's senior staff "are very with us". it looks like all that

lobbying worked. proposals that would have limited uber�*s expansion in london were dropped. it was scandalous what went on. i still can't believe that it happened in this country. more to the point, nothing has ever been done about it. we just accept that's what happened. ok, yeah, the chancellor and the prime minister lobbied for one of their mates, fine, that's all right, move on. uber says new management has transformed every aspect of how the company operates and its engagement with government are legal and transparent. the ministers say they properly complied with the declaration rules and george osborne says it was public policy to meet and persuade tech companies to invest in britain. richard bilton, bbc news. you can watch "panorama — taking us for a ride: the uber files", on bbc two at 8pm tonight or on iplayer.

let's take a look at today's papers. and most of the front pages focus on the conservative leadership race. foreign secretary liz truss has thrown her hat into the ring, and writes in the telegraph that she will cut tax from "day one", reverse the rise in national insurance and overhaul business rates. the times reports that the record for the hottest day in britain could be broken this week, but we're being advised to stay in the shade, cover windows and check on vulnerable people. "it ain't half hot, ma'am!" is the headline in the daily mail. i miss that one up! —— messed that one up and i tried to read it! he did very well. it carries this photo of the duchess of cambridge with her son

prince george watching the men's singles final at wimbledon during yesterday's hot weather. and the guardian back page features a picture of wimbledon champion novak djokovic, who the paper says is "in seventh heaven after his emotional victory". it was a very emotional match, i don't know how much of it you saw, they were both quite emotional at times. , they were both quite emotional at times. ., ., they were both quite emotional at times. ._ ., , times. one way of putting it! perha -s times. one way of putting it! perhaps nick _ times. one way of putting it! perhaps nick kyrgios - times. one way of putting it! perhaps nick kyrgios was - times. one way of putting it! perhaps nick kyrgios was a l times. one way of putting it! . perhaps nick kyrgios was a little bit more emotional.— perhaps nick kyrgios was a little bit more emotional. when do they cross the line _ bit more emotional. when do they cross the line when _ bit more emotional. when do they cross the line when it _ bit more emotional. when do they cross the line when it comes - bit more emotional. when do they cross the line when it comes to . cross the line when it comes to behavioural rules?— cross the line when it comes to behavioural rules? there were some lines cross yesterday, _ behavioural rules? there were some lines cross yesterday, but _ behavioural rules? there were some lines cross yesterday, but that - behavioural rules? there were some lines cross yesterday, but that is - lines cross yesterday, but that is what he does, he loses his temper, nick kyrgios. it is part of his game and it can put his opponent off but it wasn't going to put novak djokovic off.— it wasn't going to put novak djokovic off. it wasn't going to put novak d'okovic off. ~ . , �* , ., ., djokovic off. wasn't pleasant at times. shouting _ djokovic off. wasn't pleasant at times. shouting at _ djokovic off. wasn't pleasant at times. shouting at own - djokovic off. wasn't pleasant at times. shouting at own team, | djokovic off. wasn't pleasant at i times. shouting at own team, not ureat, he times. shouting at own team, not great. he has _ times. shouting at own team, not great, he has issues _ times. shouting at own team, not great, he has issues to _ times. shouting at own team, not great, he has issues to work- great, he has issues to work through. we mentioned prince george, i love this, george smashes it. look at him. it was sweltering, super hot. there he is, suit, tie, shirt

there's hope that new technology will make treatment quicker and easier. alastair fee reports. very nice to see you. in recent weeks, tim has had serious problems with his prostate gland. at night, i get up an awful lot, so by the morning, i would be worn out because i haven't had a good night's sleep. he is the first patient at basingstoke hospital to receive a new type of operation. it's quite an advanced technology. there is blasting water to get rid of some of the prostate tissue. i think it's a lot safer than other techniques and also the after—effects for somebody of my age, i think they're a lot improved. hampshire hospitals operate on 500 men with this problem every year. many are now waiting six months or longer. we try and give them the priority that we feel they deserve, but we're competing with all the other health conditions. but if we can bring in new technologies that more efficient, they take a shorter time in the operating room,

this will improve efficiencies and help reduce the waiting list burden which is what we really need to be working on. the new procedure uses robot technology alongside an experienced surgeon. it's called aquablation. i know my way around the prostate gland, so i can watch what it's doing and i can alter the treatment as it progresses and modify it. but it's the rapidity that it can do it, it's quicker than i would be able to do the procedure using other technologies. the machine uses water at very high pressure to remove prostate tissue. it's quicker than traditional surgery, more efficient and easier to perform. by using water, there is no heat involved, and it's more precise. this new procedure takes an hour to perform. that means more patients will be seen and less waiting. it went very well. i may in future decide to take on bigger prostates and the potential to remove even more prostate tissue. but it's trying to balance

the recovery with the longer term and the durability of the procedure. there is no doubt this technology does remove, or can remove a lot of tissue very quickly. ultimately it's the clinical outcome that will be the key driver of this. how well that the patients do, and how quickly do they recover. clearly one area that the nhs loves to have is patients that are treated within the same day. and ultimately that's where we would like to be with this technology. it has been done, it can be done. but at the moment that hasn't been proven yet in the nhs. the first trust to use this technique was frimley park. basingstoke will now trail this technology before it is recommended to other hospitals across the country. alistair fee, bbc news. plenty more coming up on the programme. we are talking about the leadership race, we havejeremy hunt, one of the candidates, joining usjust after 8am this

under the flight path, after delays caused some planes to land late into the night and early morning. punctuality has fallen in recent months, with three flights arriving after midnight yesterday. people have complained about being unable to sleep. police have confirmed they're treating a large fire in south london two weeks ago, as arson. dozens of homes were evacuated as 100 firefighters tackled the blaze in norbury. police are appealing for information. a week today, east london's newest overground station will open — ahead of schedule. transport for london says the extension of the gospel oak to barking line will provide a rail connection to barking riverside development — a site with new homes. it's a place that, i'm sure, people want to live. it's by the river. 10,000 new homes for london connected. it's going to absolutely change the area and the local people who live there,

and it's fantastic for london. a look at the tube board now. now the weather with kate. good morning. the hot spell continues. yesterday, temperatures rose to 30 celsius in stjames's park. today, it's likely to be a little bit warmer. lots of sunshine, very little cloud, very little wind, and we're looking at a maximum of 32 celsius. now, if we get 32 celsius, still not the warmest day, but there are one or two spots which could reach 33, which would make it the warmest day of the year so far. overnight, it stays pretty warm and uncomfortable again. the minimum temperature in central london potentially not dropping below 18 celsius. so, another warm night, and another warm day tomorrow. high pressure, you can see, is still in charge and we've still got all this warm air around as well. now for tomorrow, we do have a front which is sinking south, and that's going to bring perhaps a little bit more cloud. we'll still see some sunny intervals, some sunny spells, but temperatures, again, still very warm despite the cloud,

32 celsius the maximum temperature. now, as we head further through the week, temperatures are going to get perhaps a little bit cooler, but they're still in the high 20s, 28 or 29 celsius. and if we look ahead to next weekend, potentially temperatures getting hotter again in the mid—30s. three tigers — belonging to the world's rarest species — have been born at london zoo. the zoo's cubcam shows their ten—year—old mother "gaysha" and cubs together. sumatran tigers are classed as critically endangered. only around 300 remain in the wild. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with sally nugent and nina warhurst. coming up on breakfast this morning... we'll be chatting to british tennis star cameron norrie about his dramatic run to the last four of wimbledon.

as the uk braces itself for a scorching heatwave in the coming days, we'll talk to lancashire's health chief about how to safely enjoy the sunny weather. and iain de caestecker, the star of bbc�*s new drama, the control room, willjoin us on the sofa along with the show�*s in recent years, scientists have been looking for ways to control the population of grey squirrels, which have driven the uk's native red squirrels to the verge of extinction. there might now be a novel solution — hazelnut paste and oral contraceptives. let's find out more from our climate editor, justin rowlatt, who's in dorset. clever idea. is it going to work? it is a very clever — clever idea. is it going to work? it is a very clever idea. _ clever idea. is it going to work? it is a very clever idea. i _ clever idea. is it going to work? it is a very clever idea. i am - clever idea. is it going to work? it is a very clever idea. i am here . clever idea. is it going to work? it is a very clever idea. i am here onj is a very clever idea. i am here on brown _ is a very clever idea. i am here on brown sea — is a very clever idea. i am here on brown sea island in dorset. the sun

squirrels. he looks like another charming woodland creature. but grey squirrels are actually dangerous interlopers, responsible for killing and maiming tens of thousands of young trees every year. and devastating the population of this little fellow, the uk's native red squirrel. the traditional way of disposing of pests like grey squirrels works in the short run. but people don't like furry animals being shot. and anyway, it's a temporary solution. grey squirrels breed rapidly, and populations can recover quickly, which is why government scientists are exploring a more humane alternative. you won't be surprised to hear that squirrels just love this. it's a kind of hazelnut butter.

they find it irresistible. and what the scientists are doing is dosing this with contraceptives. now, the idea is the squirrels will be unaffected, except, of course, they won't be able to produce any young. but how do you ensure only grey squirrels eat it? well, the scientists have come up with a cunning plan. so it has a weighted door at the front that an animal has to push open to access the bait. and this is the bait here. so, that's that paste. yeah. it has a metal case to keep out larger animals, and we raise it up on a stand so that small animals can't access it. but where do you get squirrel contraceptives? the team are investigating two long—lasting birth control treatments. the lead scientist on the team says progress has been good. she hopes it will be ready to roll out in the wild within two years. you could reduce them significantly, like bring them to the brink

of local extinction, or even eradicate them from some areas, provided that you can do a coordinated control over large areas. reducing the population of grey squirrels should help protect the remaining red. it could save the timber industry millions of pounds a year and should also help tackle climate change by reducing damage to the vast new forests the government has promised to plant to soak up carbon dioxide emissions. so it looks like the only loser is the grey squirrel. you feel a bit sorry for them, don't you? _ you feel a bit sorry for them, don't you? the _ you feel a bit sorry for them, don't you? the most promising of the contraceptives is actually really interesting. it is actually a vaccine _ interesting. it is actually a vaccine which vaccinate grey squirrels _ vaccine which vaccinate grey squirrels against getting pregnant. it prompts the scroll's immune system — it prompts the scroll's immune system to _ it prompts the scroll's immune system to stop producing sex hormones, and both males and females

djokovic. seven now. unbelievable. the winner was meant to be buying dinner. that was what the pair had agreed before yesterday's final, which was won by novak djokovic, his seventh wimbledon title and fourth in a row. joe wilson was watching. novak djokovic and nick kyrgios share a friendship. but as promised, they gave us fireworks. that is a great set of tennis. powerful and peaceful, first set to kyrgios 6—4. nearest the camera, djokovic was trying to stretch his opponent. think you can get to that one? well, yes, kyrgios could. a triumphant point. but soon after, the second set to djokovic. fantastic hold of serve. and now the words really began. the conversation between kyrgios and the umpire related to distractions kyrgios had heard from a spectator. he wanted her removed. he pointed her out. the one that looks like she's had about 700 drinks, bruv. on the court kyrgios lost his way, and his frustrations were vented towards his friends and family.

we've observed this before, and it's never comfortable. 40-15, 40-0. oh, that's you. but that's tension in the djokovic team. kyrgios got the fourth set to a tie—break. now it was a question of composure, patience and accuracy. and that's djokovic's speciality. game, set and match to djokovic. he retains his own approach to the world. he remains the wimbledon champion. every single time it gets more and more meaningful and special. and so, i'm very blessed and very thankful to to be standing here with the trophy. there was a moment when djokovic shared the trophy in the clubhouse, before he met the public gallery. that trophy novak djokovic is holding, well, it's his 21st grand slam title. as he knows, as everyone here knows, that now puts him just one

behind rafael nadal. but when will djokovic's next chance come? with his position on covid vaccination, it depends which country will let him in. joe wilson, bbc news, wimbledon. that is the big question. djokovic celebrating. there was though a painful defeat for britain's alfie hewett in the men's wheelchair final. he served for the match four times in what was a great chance to win the singles title for the first time. but shingo kunieda fought back, taking the match in a dramatic final set tie break. a special day for a an emotional one for at sue barker. —— a special day for at sue barker. —— a special day for at sue barker. —— a special day for a and of an era. ished a for a and of an era. i shed a tear.- for a and of an era. i shed a tear. ,, ., , , for a and of an era. i shed a tear. ,, . , , ., i shed a tear. sue had plenty of --eole i shed a tear. sue had plenty of people on _ i shed a tear. sue had plenty of people on hands _ i shed a tear. sue had plenty of people on hands with _ i shed a tear. sue had plenty of people on hands with tissues. l people on hands with tissues. she's amazing. so composed. she's amazing. socomosed. , �*,

austria after defeat to norway. another loss would all but end their hopes of progressing. they kick off at five o'clock this evening in southampton. now, formula 1 will investigate claims some spectators at the austrian grand prix suffered discriminatory abuse. lewis hamilton was one of those to call for action, saying he was "disgusted and disappointed" by the reports. there was plenty of drama on the red bull ring track. sergio perez retired after tangling with britain's george russell. carlos sainz�*s ferrari caught fire. he escaped unhurt. that handed lewis hamilton his third consecutive podium finish. ahead of him there was a thrilling battle which saw charles leclerc beat world champion max verstappen to move up to second in the drivers' championship. we are going to be speaking to cameron norrie this morning after what has been a break—out tournament for him. semifinalist at wimbledon.

behind me. i bet it has seen some pretty hot summers in its time. a pretty hot summers in its time. a pretty hot summers in its time. a pretty hot week in store. heat and sunshine is not unusual by any means. but perhaps the biggest thing this week is the longevity and intensity of the heat. some parts of south—east england and east anglia will be close to if not above 30 degrees all week long. and by next weekend, we could be even hotter. we could be getting close to challenging the uk national heat record, which currently stands at 38.7 celsius. it is a while off yet and things can change but certainly looking hot next weekend. it is the impact of the longevity of the heat, hot days and particularly warm nights, the bodies don't get a chance to recover, and that is why there are various heat alerts out in parts of england especially. it will not be a heatwave or week for all of you. in the north and west we will see some changes. it certainly today, if we look at the forecast, it is looking like another dry,

and like most of her fellow contenders, tax cuts are high on her agenda. writing in the daily telegraph, ms truss says... have you got what it takes to be pm? the policy pits her and the other main candidates against the former chancellor rishi sunak. the early frontrunner, who has played down the prospect of tax cuts in the short term. freedom, liberty and human rights. you may not recognise the 11th candidate to throw their hat in the ring. rehman chishti recently made a foreign office minister. he and other less well—known candidates may fall at the first hurdle, as conservative mps meeting later to finalise the rules are likely to set a relatively high bar for the number of supporters needed to enter the first round of voting. in this crowded field, with a high prize at stake, the competition is intense. jonathan blake, bbc news.

let's get more on this from our political correspondent nick eardley. good morning, nick. this is a really crowded field, is it clear yet what the main issues are going to be? i think one of the defining issues of the campaign is going to be taxed. and how quickly the government could bring in tax cuts and whoever the next prime ministers. you have got rishi sunak, the favourite at the moment, saying you cannot tell people fairy tales, you need to be realistic and he thinks that tax cuts have to wait. you have some people in the middle likejeremy hunt who are saying, yes, you can cut business taxes just now but you don't want to cut personal tax like income tax because that could make inflation even worse. then you have some like sajid javid and liz truss who say, let's cut taxes right away.

i think that's going to be the big debate. i really crowded field at the moment. 11 at the moment, could be 12 in the next few hours, i'm told the home secretary priti patel was weighing up whether to chuck her hat into the ring late last night. she was 50—50 according to her team. it's a crowded field and the big question is going to be how quickly tory mps can whittle it down to the last two. �* ., ., , ., ., last two. and how are they going to be able to do _ last two. and how are they going to be able to do that? _ last two. and how are they going to be able to do that? so _ last two. and how are they going to be able to do that? so this - last two. and how are they going to | be able to do that? so this evening, the 1922 committee, _ be able to do that? so this evening, the 1922 committee, we _ be able to do that? so this evening, the 1922 committee, we have i be able to do that? so this evening, the 1922 committee, we have been| the 1922 committee, we have been talking a lot about them over the last few weeks, they are the ones who set the rules for the leadership election, they will meet to figure it all out. the chances are, they are going to set a pretty high bar to get onto the ballot in the first place. probably about 20 mps you will need backing you to get into the race. then there will be a series of votes over the next ten

days or so, which will see the person with the lowest amount of votes knocked out every time. the plan is by the time parliament goes on its summer holidays next week, it will be down to two, that goes to the tory membership and then september, start of september, we will know who the new prime minister is. ., ~' , ., , will know who the new prime minister is. ., ~ , ., , . will know who the new prime minister is. thank you very much, talk to you later in the — is. thank you very much, talk to you later in the programme. _ as the race to replace borisjohnson continues, there's one issue that seems to be high on the agenda for all candidates — taxes. many have promised cuts for individuals, businesses or both, but are any of their proposals realistic in the current climate? we're joined now by our economics editor faisal islam. good morning. let's break it down. start by explaining why prime minister's attitude towards taxes important. minister's attitude towards taxes im ortant. ,., ., ., �*, minister's attitude towards taxes imortant. ., �*, ., ., important. good morning. it's one of the most important _ important. good morning. it's one of the most important issues _ important. good morning. it's one of the most important issues in - important. good morning. it's one of the most important issues in terms | the most important issues in terms of what the government decides, they set the rate of tax, they set the

range of taxes, they set what you are tacked on, and who attacks the most and the least within that. —— who is taxed the most. over the last few years due to the pandemic but not exclusively, we have seen taxes go not exclusively, we have seen taxes 9° up not exclusively, we have seen taxes go up quite considerably to record levels in terms of the past few decades. the reason for that is that what the government primarily is what the government primarily is what the government does has increased. the government said it wants to do more, the government of borisjohnson, it had to do more after the pandemic whether it is cutting down nhs waiting lists or trying to sort out the social care issue. so they put up taxes quite considerably across the board, whether it is corporation tax on businesses, national insurance, most famously in march, and in some regards, income tax, even though the

rate stayed the same, the number of people to whom it applied increased because they froze the threshold. that meant effectively the number of people who paid a higher rate of tax went up. all of that brought in a higher revenue but to do that was spent. a third was held in reserve for a rainy day, about £30 billion. the revenue that has been raised is necessary, needed by the state in order to run hospitals and schools and the bare necessities. is cutting taxes at this point when the country is in a lot of debt, when inflation is in a lot of debt, when inflation is high, is that the right way forward? �* , , ., is high, is that the right way forward? �*, , ., ., forward? it's definitely not for me to sa . forward? it's definitely not for me to say- what _ forward? it's definitely not for me to say. what we _ forward? it's definitely not for me to say. what we are _ forward? it's definitely not for me to say. what we are seeing i forward? it's definitely not for me to say. what we are seeing is i forward? it's definitely not for me to say. what we are seeing is an i to say. what we are seeing is an argument amongst people who once inhabited number 10 that it is a beauty contest of tax—cutting, so much tax—cutting on offer i wonder if the hmrc will even exist at the end of the conservative party

leadership bid. what we are seeing is extraordinary as some of the taxes have been raised in the past few weeks are now being essentially we are told by some candidates of the conservative party, that that was not the right thing to do, they will reverse it almost immediately. but things have changed. the argument would be there because of the cost of living crisis, you need a weapon to provide cash into people's back pockets, to boost the economy. some of the ministers that were denying the economy was in any bother a few weeks ago when they were ministers are now saying, the economy is looking really shaky next year because of the effect of that energy prices going up. it's affecting so many people's living standards and what they can spend on. so we need to boost the economy. but the question is is where the money comes from. the significant rise to taxes, and there have been significant rises, most of it was about spending more money on public

sector priorities. if you are going to cut things back and you want to carry on hitting your borrowing targets which were in the conservative manifesto, then you have to consider where cuts will be made. you will hear a lot today about efficiency savings, and although you can always make things more efficient, these will have occasionally slightly magical qualities which means you don't have to cut front line services. the real consequence of things like cutting back on taxes, will be very difficult for example to give nurses, teachers and doctors a pay rise that even approaches some of the rise in the cost of living, that sort of thing. it's a difficult balancing act, we will have a succession of offers being made, essentially, by these leadership candidates that they can do everything. cut taxes, keep services the same and keep borrowing the same. they are trying to attract attention amongst the electorate over the next couple of days which

is conservative mps. hat over the next couple of days which is conservative mps.— over the next couple of days which is conservative mps. not easy to do it all, is is conservative mps. not easy to do it all. is it? — is conservative mps. not easy to do it all, is it? thank _ is conservative mps. not easy to do it all, is it? thank you. _ the hot weather is expected to continue this week and a heat—health alert has been issued for some parts of the uk from this morning. temperatures are forecast to reach up to 31 celsius — that's 87 fahrenheit — today in southern england, where people are advised to stay indoors in the middle of the day, drink plenty of fluids and take extra care of young children. laura trant has this report. hotter than hawaii. parts of the uk sweltered on sunday as temperatures soared to 30 celsius. i've brought my daughter for the first time, she is loving it being here in the sea. we are loving it more than her, i think. we came from london an hour away, and we came because it was really hot so we just came to enjoy the beach and go in the water. cakes, park, picnic, the sun! weekend temperatures were hotter than some parts of sardinia, but with the heat, there are health warnings.

there are protests across economic issues but they have turned into a political issue because both the president and the prime minister of the country have agreed to step down. various leaders are forming a new government, talking about that, the country desperately needs foreign currency to buy, import food, fuel and medicine, that is what brought these people to the streets. people believe that they have managed to force the president and prime minister to resign. that is the power that the people have one. even if the two leaders leave, that's not going to end the economic crisis. sri lanka needs international help to improve its foreign currency reserves. thank you very much. a vigil will be held later today for former japanese prime minister shinzo abe, who was assassinated at a political rally on friday. the 67—year—old was shot from behind during an appearance in the southern city of nara. he was rushed to hospital but pronounced dead later.

police say the suspect, a 41—year—old man, has admitted the killing, using a homemade gun. ukrainian officials say at least 15 people have been killed after a russian rocket struck an apartment building in the donetsk region. the strike took place in the city of chasiv yar ripping apart one side of the five—storey block and leaving a mountain of rubble. at least 20 others are feared to be buried underneath it. one of our main stories this morning is the weather because a lot of you will be experiencing really warm weather today, matt can tell us what is going to happen for the next few days, he is at blenheim palace. good morning. love it or loathe it, we are into a spell of hot summer weather, nothing unusual in itself, but the longevity is unusual especially in the south and east where the heat will continue through

how long have you gone without electricity? about four or five days. and no gas? no gas, no. if i could choose, i wouldn't have a prepayment meter. i've had to get food parcels before to pay my bills. topping up his meter key has become an increasingly frequent necessity for pete. £10 top—up, please. a tenner used to last him about a week. now it's around four days. and he's sometimes gone days without gas or electric. cheers, guys, thanks a lot. what's it like living in a house with no energy? it's grim. god knows what it's going to be like in the winter. pete, who suffers from a chronic lung condition, sought help from a charity, christians against poverty, who helped him with his energy costs. but his balance, £40, won't last the month. your pride soon goes out the window when you start getting hungry, itell you.

you know, when you're shivering, and you got nothing to eat, it is, it's grim. it's bleak. merseyside has a higher than average number of people on prepayment meters, which are usually found in lower income households. energy prices are higher on a meter as companies say it costs to install them, leaving many families struggling. remember yesterday when i spoke to you about this will not go off? all this energy company's customers use prepayment meters. calls seeking help have soared in recent weeks, and the chairman says their customers should not be charged more than other energy users. we only need one price cap, and that should be payment on receipt of bill. we have had some very, very sad cases of people threatening suicide, and we have also had customers threatening self—harm. soaring prices don't hit everyone equally. households with the lowest income spend three times as much of their budgets on energy as those with the most money.

the government is going to pay at least £1200 to the poorest households this year to help them particular with the rising cost of energy. that will undoubtedly be welcome, but ministers themselves acknowledge that many of these households will still continue to struggle, particularly in winter. mother of two steph was forced to have a prepayment meter after building up large debts. for every £10 she tops up, she says, her energy company reclaims £4 of what they are owed. add in rising prices, anti—theft�*s family have go without. add in rising prices, and steph's family have go without. my daughter wants to do after school classes and clubs that she used to do like swimming and things like that. i have to say no, i just can't afford it. whereas her friends are going. birthday parties, can't afford to take her or buy presents for the child, i've had to say no to things like that. unaffordable child care forced the 26—year—old to give up herjob in telesales, and although times are hard, she is clear on what matters.

i'm not going to change the way i parentand be a mumjust because my gas and electric has gone up. i'm still going to be a good mum and cook for my children, bathe my children. michael buchanan, bbc news. it's one of those things, isn't it, the people who have in the past needed the most supports are then punished by not being able to get the best deals on direct debit. lots of campaigning around making that slightly fairer. for those who perhaps need a bit more financial support at the moment. bind perhaps need a bit more financial support at the moment.— support at the moment. and it is also another _ support at the moment. and it is also another one _ support at the moment. and it is also another one of— support at the moment. and it is also another one of those i support at the moment. and it is also another one of those things | also another one of those things that constantly needs checking and keeping an eye on, you check how much you are paying.— keeping an eye on, you check how much you are paying. exactly, even if ou are much you are paying. exactly, even if you are on _ much you are paying. exactly, even if you are on a _ much you are paying. exactly, even if you are on a direct _ much you are paying. exactly, even if you are on a direct debit. - much you are paying. exactly, even if you are on a direct debit. they i if you are on a direct debit. they are set to go up again in the autumn. , are set to go up again in the autumn-— are set to go up again in the autumn. , ., _, , time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

good morning from bbc london, i'm asad ahmad. a recent official visit to america by the mayor of london cost city hall — and the taxpayer — nearly £35,000. mayor sadiq khan, seen here pitching at the san francisco giants stadium in may, insists costs were kept to a minimum. he said the aim of the trip was to promote london's recovery, and the visit included cementing a multi—million pound deal with universal studios to make more films in london. heathrow airport has apologised to residents living under the flight path, after delays caused some planes to land late into the night and early morning. punctuality has fallen in recent months, with three flights arriving after midnight yesterday. people have complained about being unable to sleep. police have confirmed they're treating a large fire in south london two weeks ago, as arson. dozens of homes were evacuated, as 100 firefighters tackled

the blaze in norbury. police are appealing for information. a week today, east london's newest overground station will open, ahead of schedule. transport for london says the extension of the gospel oak to barking line will provide a rail connection to barking riverside development, a site with new homes. it's a place that, i'm sure, people want to live. it's by the river. 10,000 new homes for london connected. it's going to absolutely change the area and the local people who live there, and it's fantastic for london. a look at the tube board now. now the weather with kate. good morning. the hot spell continues. yesterday, temperatures rose to 30 celsius in stjames's park. today, it's likely to be a little bit warmer. lots of sunshine, very little cloud, very little wind, and we're looking at a maximum of 32 celsius.

now, if we get 32 celsius, still not the warmest day, but there are one or two spots which could reach 33, which would make it the warmest day of the year so far. overnight, it stays pretty warm and uncomfortable again. the minimum temperature in central london potentially not dropping below 18 celsius. so, another warm night, and another warm day tomorrow. high pressure, you can see, is still in charge and we've still got all this warm air around as well. now for tomorrow, we do have a front which is sinking south, and that's going to bring perhaps a little bit more cloud. we'll still see some sunny intervals, some sunny spells, but temperatures, again, still very warm despite the cloud, 32 celsius the maximum temperature. now, as we head further through the week, temperatures are going to get perhaps a little bit cooler, but they're still in the high 20s, 28 or 29 celsius. and if we look ahead to next weekend, potentially temperatures getting hotter again in the mid—30s. three tigers — belonging

so, what happens next? well, conservative backbenchers will meet later today to finalise the co ntest�*s rules. to whittle down the numbers, they're expected to require candidates to have the backing of at least 20 mps, as opposed to the current rule of eight. let's head to westminster now and speak to matt chorley, from times radio, and anna isaac, the independent�*s economics editor. good morning. it looks set to be a campaign with taxation at its core. is that going to be popular?- is that going to be popular? yeah, there are two _ is that going to be popular? yeah, there are two kinds _ is that going to be popular? yeah, there are two kinds of _ is that going to be popular? yeah, there are two kinds of taxation i is that going to be popular? yeah, there are two kinds of taxation atl there are two kinds of taxation at play. the tax history of the individuals involved. you're also going to have the rate of tax they want to have the country. lots of candidates pledging to reverse their national insurance rise. but also, other massive tax cuts potentially

my first image of tennis was grass and wimbledon. and i always dreamed of coming here, just playing in this court, and then, of course, realising the childhood dream and winning this trophy. and, you know, every single time it gets more and more meaningful and special, and so i'm very blessed and very thankful to be standing here with the trophy. you wonder if he has still got his hands on it now. there were more than a few people keen to get their hands on it. prince george there, watching the final for the first time with his mum and dad, was given a hold by the champion. i love his dad are saying, don't drop it! djokovic celebrating. there was though a painful defeat for britain's alfie hewett in the men's wheelchair final. he served for the match four times in what was a great chance to win the singles title for the first time. but shingo kunieda fought back, taking the match in a dramatic final set tie break.

and if you missed it, what a moment for sue barker yesterday, bringing to an end 30 years of presenting wimbledon. the 66—year—old, who won the french open in 1976, before moving into broadcasting, announced last month she'd be retiring after the tournament. it's fair to say it was an emotional goodbye can ijust say, it's been an absolute privilege. i've loved it. 30 amazing years. i'll miss thejob. i wish i had the next 30 years to do it. i love it. but most of all, i'm going to miss the people i work with, in front of the camera, behind the camera. you've just been absolutely amazing. i've been so proud to front the programme, so, thank you. aw. — well done, sue. cheering. well done sue indeed. tv royalty. what a fitting sendoff. all eyes on the south coast as england and northern ireland both play their second group games in the women's euros tonight. different scenarios for both. england, after victory in their opener following the sell—out at old trafford, play norway in brighton.

tonight's opponents said england looked nervous in that one nil over austria last wednesday. it's really make or break for northern ireland, who face austria after defeat to norway. another loss would all but end their hopes of progressing. they kick off at 5pm this evening in southampton. formula one will investigate claims some spectators at the austrian grand prix suffered discriminatory abuse. lewis hamilton one of those to call for action, saying he was "disgusted and disappointed" by the reports. plenty of drama on the track. sergio perez retired after tangling with britain's george russell. carlos sainz�*s ferrari caught fire. he escaped unhurt. that handed lewis hamilton, who was unhappy at the way some of the crowd applauded his crash in qualifying, his third consecutive podium finish. charles leclerc finished first, ahead of world champion max verstappen, to move up to second in the drivers' championship. as i said, hamilton third and team—mate russell fourth in austria. to get back up there and get some

good points for team is, hopefully, some small token of my appreciation, i guess _ really amazing to get a third and fourth. and no sooner has england's test team risen from its slump, but the t20 side has plenty to do three months out from the world cup. despite beating india by 17 runs in the final match, they lost their three match series, dawid malan top scoring with 77 yesterday in nottingham. it's a third series loss in five. the world cup begins in australia in october. many of the world's best golfers are gathering at st andrews ahead of the 150th open championship which starts on thursday. (00v)world number 11 xander schauffele looks in good form ahead of that final major of the season. he won the scottish open at the renaissance club in north berwick by a shot — finishing on seven—under par. england's tommy fleetwood finished three shots back. england are through to the quarter—finals of women's hockey world cup after a 5—0 win over south korea in spain. giselle ansley scored two

penalty corner goals, as england took a three goal lead before the break. elena reyer rounded off the scoring in the second half to make it five. david ralph's side will face unbeaten argentina in their quarter final on wednesday. the big summer of sport continues. we will be speaking to cameron norrie in about an hour after his wimbledon success, making the semifinals. it will be interesting to gauge his thoughts on what he thought was a realistic aim at the start of the tournament. the british number one. having never reached that stage of any of the grand slams before, did he think a semifinal appearance was...? he before, did he think a semifinal appearance was. . . ?_ before, did he think a semifinal appearance was. . . ? he coped with it mentally really _ appearance was. . . ? he coped with it mentally really well. _ appearance was. . . ? he coped with it mentally really well. unlike - appearance was. . . ? he coped with it mentally really well. unlike some i mentally really well. unlike some people we have seen at wimbledon. and the support he had. you are thrust into it. we have seen andy murray do that for a long time. it took him a bit of time. to adjust to

good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and sally nugent. our headlines today. now there are 11. foreign secretary liz truss adds her name to the growing field of conservative mps in the race to be party leader, as backbenchers meet to finalise the rules. hotter than hawaii. as temperatures across the uk soar, a heatwave alert is issued for large parts of england, with people urged to check on the vulnerable and the elderly. across parts of south—east england we will be in heatwave conditions all week long, and even after that,

things will get much hotter next weekend. i will have the forecast. the latest plan to control grey squirrel numbers, contraception hidden in their favourite treat. it's a kind of hazelnut butter. and what the scientists are doing is dosing this with contraceptives. the idea is the squirrels will be unaffected, except of course, except of course, they won't be able to produce any young. in sport, after a dazzling run to the semifinals of wimbledon, we'll be speaking to the british number one cam norrie at 8.30 following his unforgettable wimbledon fortnight. it's monday 11th july. our main story. foreign secretary liz truss has launched a bid to succeed boris johnson as conservative leader. ms truss said she would cut taxes from "day one", should she become prime minister. last night, foreign office minister rehman chisti also declared his intention to run. it's a crowded field. 11 candidates havejoined the race so far, with conservative backbenchers meeting today to finalise the rules.

here's our political correspondentjonathan blake. good afternoon, minister. long seen as a potential tory leader, the foreign secretary liz truss is popular with conservative members. she entered the race last night, promising vision, experience and resolve. and like most of her fellow contenders, tax cuts are high on her agenda. writing in the daily telegraph, ms truss says... have you got what it takes to be pm? the policy pits her and the other main candidates against the former chancellor rishi sunak. the early frontrunner, who has played down the prospect of tax cuts in the short term. freedom, liberty and human rights. you may not recognise the 11th candidate to throw their hat in the ring. rehman chishti recently made a foreign office minister. he and other less well—known

candidates may fall at the first hurdle, as conservative mps meeting later to finalise the rules are likely to set a relatively high bar for the number of supporters needed to enter the first round of voting. in this crowded field, with a high prize at stake, the competition is intense. jonathan blake, bbc news. let's get more on this from our political correspondent nick eardley. and then there were i! stuff it might not be the most interesting to everyone but it looks like tax will be at the centre of this race. as well. — be at the centre of this race. as well. the _ be at the centre of this race. as well, the home _ be at the centre of this race. as well, the home secretary priti patel is thinking about chucking her hat in the ring as well. a very busy field. don't worry about writing them all down just now because i think it will be whittled down quite quickly. the big issue in this

campaign, which is a chilly going to dominate the next few weeks, is tax. there is a pretty active debate happening about how quickly you can cut taxes. rishi sunak, the favourite so far and the man to beat, saying don't tell people fairy tales, you probably have to wait until the economy is better before you make significant tax cuts. some people in the middle likejeremy hunt, the former health secretary, he is saying, yes, we can cut business taxes just now but personal taxes, things like income tax, might have to wait until the economy is in a better place. then people like the foreign secretary liz truss and sajid javid another health secretary saying, we can cut taxes pretty quickly, that's what i want to do, i'm a conservative, that's what i stand for. tax is going to be a really big issue over the next few weeks. there will be lots else but that will be the main one.- that will be the main one. thank ou, with that will be the main one. thank you. with the — that will be the main one. thank you, with the latest _ that will be the main one. thank you, with the latest comic. -- i

generation to set up a business, no capital, no office, no staff. i got it going from scratch. and that taught mejust it going from scratch. and that taught me just how important it is to have a climate that is pro—enterprise, pro—business, encourages young people to take risks, and that's what i'm worried that we are losing now. whereabouts to have corporation tax, one of the main business taxes higher than america, japan, france or germany. if you want to encourage more young people to do what i did when i was much younger, then we need to have a lower tax environment to help businesses get off the ground. just ex - lain for businesses get off the ground. just explain for people watching how cutting corporation tax will help them? ~ , ,., , ., cutting corporation tax will help them? ~ , ., ., . cutting corporation tax will help them? ~ , ., ., them? absolutely. i want to cut all taxes. them? absolutely. i want to cut all taxes- the — them? absolutely. i want to cut all taxes- the way _ them? absolutely. i want to cut all taxes. the way we _ them? absolutely. i want to cut all taxes. the way we do _ them? absolutely. i want to cut all taxes. the way we do that - them? absolutely. i want to cut all taxes. the way we do that is - them? absolutely. i want to cut all taxes. the way we do that is to - them? absolutely. i want to cut all taxes. the way we do that is to get the economy growing and get businesses making profits, paying more tax, investing more and employing more. corporation tax is one of the taxes that you pay on your profits, and it means if it is

higher, you have less money to invest and create more jobs and higher, you have less money to invest and create morejobs and do all the things we need to happen. the treasury's own numbers say that you will get half the money back that you invest in cutting corporation tax because of increased business activity. that's why i think, it's not a tax that trips of the lips, ifully think, it's not a tax that trips of the lips, i fully accept that. but i think as a conservative government, what voters want from us is to know that the economy is being well looked after, growing healthily, and this is the way that we really get the economy motoring before the next election. we the economy motoring before the next election. ~ ., ., , , election. we have heard 'ust this mornin: election. we have heard 'ust this morning from h election. we have heard 'ust this morning from the h election. we have heardjust this morning from the chancellor- election. we have heard just this - morning from the chancellor nadhim zahawi, saying that 20%, cut in the running costs of every government department would create in a fiscal higher —— enough fiscal firepower to

enable tax cuts. you have run big departments, how would you do this? i have made big cuts in the department of health and culture, it's always possible to make efficiencies. it's something we should always be looking at. i think the fundamental thing is, how to remove ourselves from being an economy which is becoming one of the higher tax economies for businesses, making it more difficult for businesses to get off the ground, to one which people say, if you are going to set up a business it has to be in britain, it's so exciting what is happening there. that has to be the main focus as we chart our post—brexit future. the main focus as we chart our post-brexit future.— post-brexit future. could you guarantee — post-brexit future. could you guarantee you _ post-brexit future. could you guarantee you would - post-brexit future. could you guarantee you would not - post-brexit future. could you | guarantee you would not have post-brexit future. could you i guarantee you would not have to borrow more? i guarantee you would not have to borrow more?— guarantee you would not have to borrow more? ., , ., ., , borrow more? i have put out endorsed tax cuts that — borrow more? i have put out endorsed tax cuts that we _ borrow more? i have put out endorsed tax cuts that we can _ borrow more? i have put out endorsed tax cuts that we can do _ borrow more? i have put out endorsed tax cuts that we can do within - borrow more? i have put out endorsed tax cuts that we can do within our- tax cuts that we can do within our current fiscal rules if we spread them over a five year period which means that our national debt continues to fall as a proportion of our output. and i think that's not just right, it's immoral, because we

should not be cutting taxes if we load up debt on future generations. that's not a real or sustainable tax cuts and i don't think that is conservative either. taste cuts and i don't think that is conservative either. we have talked a lot about your— conservative either. we have talked a lot about your experience - conservative either. we have talked a lot about your experience at i conservative either. we have talked a lot about your experience at your| a lot about your experience at your professional experience, i'm really interested in your human experience. lots of people who voted for boris johnson of voted conservative at the very first time, you represent a constituency in south—west surrey, head of house at charterhouse, oxford university, how are you going to talk to those people perhaps in the north who voted conservative for the north who voted conservative for the first time at the last election? that's why i recognise that to be the leader of a political party and win elections, you have to have a broad appeal. just as tony blair had john prescott as his deputy prime minister, i will have esther mcvey as my deputy prime minister, she is someone who is very different to me,

and a heat—health alert has been issued for some parts of the uk from this morning. temperatures are forecast to reach up to 31 celsius, that's 87 fahrenheit, today in southern england, where people are advised to stay indoors in the middle of the day, drink plenty of fluids and take extra care of young children. laura trant has this report. hotter than hawaii. parts of the uk sweltered on sunday as temperatures soared to 30 celsius. i've brought my daughter for the first time, she is loving it being here in the sea. we are loving it more than her, i think. we came from london an hour away, and we came because it was really hot so we just came to enjoy the beach and go in the water. cakes, park, picnic, the sun! weekend temperatures were hotter than some parts of sardinia, turkey and even the caribbean. but with the heat, there are health warnings. wear high factor sun cream, a hat, drink enough water, but we are also being advised to seek shade and take extra care of children,

older people and pets. there is a heat health alert for england, the uk health security agency and the met office have offered issued levels two and three health alerts. level three, for the east of england, south—east and london, level four is the highest which would see a major incident declared. with the heat over the next few days, it's notjust daytime temperatures that will be well above average, but night time as well. we will see heat exhaustion, a likely outcome for many who are out in the day during the afternoon. the strong july sunshine, uv levels of seven and eight, and temperatures, we're just not used to temperatures being this high for this long. here in stjames's park in london, people have been enjoying the sunshine, and it's right here where the met office recorded its highest uk temperature of 30.1 celsius.

and in scotland they had their hottest temperature of the year so far, at 29.3 degrees in leuchars in fife. the warmest day of the year so far for northern ireland as well where they reached 24.3 degrees in derrylin in fermanagh. and in wales, in usk in monmouthshire, the temperature there was recorded at 27.9 degrees celsius. cardiff wasn't far behind. perhaps the boat was the best place to be in cardiff bay. in southend—on—sea, the ice cream queues said everything about the temperature. the highest uk temperature so far this year stands at 32.7 celsius in heathrow. that was in june. the met office said that is likely to be broken this week. laura trant, bbc news. the president of sri lanka has informed the country's prime minister that he will resign by wednesday. thousands of people descended on the capital,

colombo, on saturday before invading the president's residence following months of anger over the economic crisis. sri lankan leaders say they need international assistance to deal with their financial issues. a vigil will be held later today for former japanese prime minister shinzo abe, who was assassinated at a political rally on friday. police say the suspect, a 41—year—old man, has admitted the killing, using a homemade gun. mariko 0i is in tokyo this morning. what will be a must there be like in the election? the elections were rather sombre. the ruling party was expected to win and it managed to have a pretty resounding victory. now the ruling party along with its coalition have more than two thirds of the seats which basically means that it gives them the power to change japan's pacifist that it gives them the power to

changejapan's pacifist constitution which mr abe long wanted to do. a lot of people who won yesterday said they wanted to dedicate their victory to mr abe. this temple is where mr abe's vigil will be taking place in two hours, it will be held privately here injapan, the night before the funeral. even though it is not a state funeral, it is a family event, we are expecting a lot of lawmakers to attend the event. tomorrow we will also have mr abe's funeral which will take place inside the temple. you can probably hear some of the police officers screaming just now, very tight security, a lot ofjournalists and cameramen are waiting for the vigil to start. . ~ cameramen are waiting for the vigil to start. ., ,, , ., cameramen are waiting for the vigil to start. . ~' , ., , cameramen are waiting for the vigil to start. ., ,, y., , . . to start. thank you very much. we have been — to start. thank you very much. we have been talking _ to start. thank you very much. we have been talking a _ to start. thank you very much. we have been talking a lot _ to start. thank you very much. we have been talking a lot about i to start. thank you very much. we have been talking a lot about the i have been talking a lot about the heatwave this morning that we are experiencing and it will stay warm for quite a few days. plat experiencing and it will stay warm for quite a few days. not everyone's cu -a but for quite a few days. not everyone's cuppa but plenty _ for quite a few days. not everyone's cuppa but plenty of _ for quite a few days. not everyone's cuppa but plenty of people - for quite a few days. not everyone's cuppa but plenty of people enjoying | cuppa but plenty of people enjoying the sun, thank you for your

but not a single red squirrel. we have been looking out in the woods, this is a really good spot for them but we haven't seen a single one. maybe because we are here, they are being very quiet. there is evidence that squirrels have been here. this is one of the pine cones they have been nibbling, they hold them in their hands and they nibble all the way around like that. there are just 160,000 red squirrels left in britain. 15,000 in england. virtually extinct in england, compared to 2.7 million grey squirrels. they were first introduced into the uk in the late 19th century and the population exploded, a huge impact on woodlands as well, but that is the reason why scientists have been looking at this novel method of tackling the problem. he looks like another charming woodland creature. but grey squirrels are actually

dangerous interlopers, responsible for killing and maiming tens of thousands of young trees every year. and devastating the population of this little fellow, the uk's native red squirrel. the traditional way of disposing of pests like grey squirrels works in the short run. but people don't like furry animals being shot. and anyway, it's a temporary solution. grey squirrels breed rapidly, and populations can recover quickly, which is why government scientists are exploring a more humane alternative. you won't be surprised to hear that squirrels just love this. it's a kind of hazelnut butter. they find it irresistible. and what the scientists are doing is dosing this with contraceptives. now, the idea is the squirrels will be unaffected, except,

of course, they won't be able to produce any young. but how do you ensure only grey squirrels eat it? well, the scientists have come up with a cunning plan. so it has a weighted door at the front that an animal has to push open to access the bait. and this is the bait here. so, that's that paste. yeah. it has a metal case to keep out larger animals, and we raise it up on a stand so that small animals can't access it. but where do you get squirrel contraceptives? the team are investigating two long—lasting birth control treatments. the lead scientist on the team says progress has been good. she hopes it will be ready to roll out in the wild within two years. you could reduce them significantly, like bring them to the brink of local extinction, or even eradicate them from some areas, provided that you can do a coordinated control over large areas.

reducing the population of grey squirrels should help protect the remaining red. it could save the timber industry millions of pounds a year and should also help tackle climate change by reducing damage to the vast new forests the government has promised to plant to soak up carbon dioxide emissions. so it looks like the only loser is the grey squirrel. we just saw, we just saw a red squirrel! hejust ran up this we just saw, we just saw a red squirrel! he just ran up this tree! it's hiding on the other side of the tree! we were hoping it would come out! but there's no sign of it there. one of the contraceptive, the ways of doing contraception they are doing, it's a vaccine that vaccinate great squirrels against getting pregnant, it stimulates the immune

system to suppress six home —— sex hormones. brownsea island is a national trust property and i am joined by a an adviser for them, woodlands are very important, what impact is great squirrels have —— du grey squirrels have on woodlands? it is a huge problem, they have a very high population so they go on to young species of trees and they strip away the bark on them. that creates a wound like a cut on your arm which makes the trees are susceptible to diseases and pests so they do not mature. what susceptible to diseases and pests so they do not mature.— susceptible to diseases and pests so they do not mature. what impact does that have on — they do not mature. what impact does that have on our _ they do not mature. what impact does that have on our efforts _ they do not mature. what impact does that have on our efforts to _ they do not mature. what impact does that have on our efforts to tackle i that have on our efforts to tackle climate change? it’s that have on our efforts to tackle climate change?— that have on our efforts to tackle climate change? it's a massive issue for climate change. _ climate change? it's a massive issue for climate change. one _ climate change? it's a massive issue for climate change. one of _ climate change? it's a massive issue for climate change. one of our i climate change? it's a massive issue for climate change. one of our bestl for climate change. one of our best tools for fighting climate change is establishing and planting new trees. the national trust is trying to establish 20 million new trees by

2030. if we plant these and establish them and they are under threat from grey squirrels, it's a real significant threat to our ability to meet carbon net zero. so the trees will not grow to full maturity, they will be smaller and they will not absorb as much carbon dioxide. how effective and useful do you think this new scheme with the hazelnut butter laced with contraceptives, how effective can it be? . , contraceptives, how effective can it be? , , ., ., ., contraceptives, how effective can it be? , ., ., be? immensely, a real game changer. what we really — be? immensely, a real game changer. what we really need _ be? immensely, a real game changer. what we really need is _ be? immensely, a real game changer. what we really need is a _ be? immensely, a real game changer. what we really need is a humane i be? immensely, a real game changer. what we really need is a humane and l what we really need is a humane and non—lethal way of controlling and managing grey squirrel appellation. —— populations. the idea is to roll this out in areas where there is a real problem with grey squirrels, but ultimately, but it could be used to eradicate the population of grey squirrels entirely in the uk. that's what the environment minister who is in charge of the project says. now, you know, obviously there is an issue with grey squirrels, we all love red squirrels and the red

squirrel not returned? no, no one has seen him. he's hiding behind the tree. but i do wonder whether people would actually want to see the population completely wiped out of grey squirrels, an interesting question. grey squirrels, an interesting tuestion. , grey squirrels, an interesting question-— grey squirrels, an interesting tuestion. , ., , question. some people are still tuite question. some people are still quite attached _ question. some people are still quite attached to _ question. some people are still quite attached to the _ question. some people are still quite attached to the grey i question. some people are still- quite attached to the grey squirrel, so complete eradication could be unpopular. so complete eradication could be un--oular. ~,, , so complete eradication could be unpopular-— unpopular. absolutely. and grey st uirrels unpopular. absolutely. and grey squirrels interact _ unpopular. absolutely. and grey squirrels interact with _ unpopular. absolutely. and grey squirrels interact with us, i unpopular. absolutely. and grey squirrels interact with us, they i unpopular. absolutely. and grey l squirrels interact with us, they are much braver, biggeranimals, much braver, bigger animals, significantly, much braver, biggeranimals, significantly, often you see them in the parks, they like to be fed, to be honest! we wouldn't advise feeding grey squirrels. they are a beautiful animal. they live in slightly different woodlands so there isn't necessarily always in overlapped with red squirrels, but as steve said, they live in these incredible high population densities and they can be really damaging to broadleaf tree species so there an issue here. do broadleaf tree species so there an issue here-— issue here. do you remember at school, issue here. do you remember at school. did _ issue here. do you remember at school, did the _ issue here. do you remember at school, did the teachers - issue here. do you remember at school, did the teachers say i issue here. do you remember at school, did the teachers say to l issue here. do you remember at i school, did the teachers say to you

now the weather with kate. good morning. the hot spell continues. yesterday, temperatures rose to 30 celsius in stjames's park. today, it's likely to be a little bit warmer. lots of sunshine, very little cloud, very little wind, and we're looking at a maximum of 32 celsius. now, if we get 32 celsius, still not the warmest day, but there are one or two spots which could reach 33, which would make it the warmest day of the year so far. overnight, it stays pretty warm and uncomfortable again. the minimum temperature in central london potentially not dropping below 18 celsius. so, another warm night, and another warm day tomorrow. high pressure, you can see, is still in charge and we've still got all this warm air around as well. now for tomorrow, we do have a front which is sinking south, and that's going to bring perhaps a little bit more cloud. we'll still see some sunny intervals, some sunny spells, but temperatures, again,

still very warm despite the cloud, 32 celsius the maximum temperature. now, as we head further through the week, temperatures are going to get perhaps a little bit cooler, but they're still in the high 20s, 28 or 29 celsius. and if we look ahead to next weekend, potentially temperatures getting hotter again in the mid—30s. three tigers belonging to the world's rarest species, have been born at london zoo. the zoo's cubcam shows their ten—year—old mother gaysha and cubs together. sumatran tigers are classed as critically endangered. only around 300 remain in the wild. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london good morning. john watson is here with the sport. what a weekend at wimbledon. were ou what a weekend at wimbledon. were you watching — what a weekend at wimbledon. were you watching yesterday? yes. novak

unbelievable. —— hell. high temperatures and a lack of rain can be a dangerous combination. in portugal, wildfires have burned for several days. the situation is so bad the authorities have asked for emergency help from the european union. no reports of any deaths, but dozens have been injured and property has been destroyed. translation translation: it property has been destroyed. translation translation: it was very sudden. a translation translation: it was very sudden- a lot — translation translation: it was very sudden. a lot of _ translation translation: it was very sudden. a lot of smoke. _ translation translation: it was very sudden. a lot of smoke. all _ translation translation: it was very sudden. a lot of smoke. all of - translation translation: it was very sudden. a lot of smoke. all of a - sudden. a lot of smoke. all of a sudden. a lot of smoke. all of a sudden the house was alight. we couldn't do anything. in sudden the house was alight. we couldn't do anything.— couldn't do anything. in paris, temperatures _ couldn't do anything. in paris, temperatures have _ couldn't do anything. in paris, temperatures have reached i couldn't do anything. in paris, | temperatures have reached the couldn't do anything. in paris, - temperatures have reached the mid 305, with no sign of any cooling down expected in the week ahead. europe will have to enjoy it, or endure, the heat for now. tim ullman, bbc news.— endure, the heat for now. tim ullman, bbc news. that is the situation in _ ullman, bbc news. that is the situation in europe. _ ullman, bbc news. that is the situation in europe. matt- ullman, bbc news. that is the situation in europe. matt willi ullman, bbc news. that is the - situation in europe. matt will have a look around the uk for us this morning. we werejust a look around the uk for us this morning. we were just saying it is lovely to get out in the garden. we have needed that blast of some. it

is a bit much for some. how long is it settling in for? it is indeed. that heat across western europe is exceptional. quite worrying, in fact. western europe is exceptional. quite worrying, infact. it western europe is exceptional. quite worrying, in fact. it will get hotter towards the weekend. that could be the story here in the uk as well. we have seen widespread heat throughout the weekend. temperatures across parts of england and wales are set to rise even further through today. it will cool off across other parts of the uk. that is the good news for those of you not enjoying the heat. but we could continue with heatwave conditions in parts of the south—east throughout this week. then, as i said, by the time we hit next weekend, we could see exceptional heat which could actually challenge the uk temperature record. things may change. but certainly it is a possibility next weekend. this morning here at blenheim palace it is stunning, it is a beautiful morning. 20 degrees already. probably an ideal tablature before it gets hot later. could get up to 30 degrees. let's take a look at the

forecast for today. it stays hot across many parts of the uk. they will be some changes though to the north and the west. whilst most will stay dry, later on in parts of western scotland they could be some rain. that is because you can see high pressure is in charge. the conditions just high pressure is in charge. the conditionsjust heat up high pressure is in charge. the conditions just heat up day by day. to the top left you can see some weather front approaching. they will ring the changes. something much more comfortable in the next few days for some. 0ut there at the moment of the mist and fog has cleared. blue skies overhead for many. the sunshine hazy at times. thicker cloud to the north and west of scotland and northern ireland later were limited temperature rises. the east of scotland will get up rises. the east of scotland will get up to 29 degrees. across parts of england and wales widely temperatures in the mid—correct—mac high 205 or low 305. hotter than the weekend. a5 high 205 or low 305. hotter than the weekend. as the days get hotter the night do to. a lot more cloud in

northern and western areas. western scotland and northern ireland patchy rain and drizzle. temperatures into the morning dropping to 19 or 20 celsius in the central and eastern in them. in meteorological terms, we call that a tropical night where the temperatures don't drop below 20 degrees. very rare when we do see them. a warm start to tomorrow. tomorrow we will notice all areas will see more cloud. perhaps brightening in northern scotland later. patchy drizzle in western parts of northern ireland, north—west wales. more cloud to the south and east. the hot conditions hold on here. 31, 32, maybe 33 degrees across parts of south—east england. temperatures will drop elsewhere, as they will do on wednesday. a lot more sunshine back again. areas of cloud and southern parts of england. the heat really holds on here. we are seeing temperatures around 30 degrees. elsewhere more widely high teens and

low 205. but whilst we still have the heat in the south—east corner, as we head through the rest of the week we are going to start to tapping do not heed building and prior to spain, portugal and france. they will see temperatures climb to the mid 405. an area of low pressure develops towards the south—west towards the weekend. we could start to bring some of that heat our way. the big question is how hot it gets. by next weekend we could be seen temperatures across parts of england, in particular, into the mid 305. we could get higher. the hottest day ever recorded in the uk was 2019. we saw 38.7 degrees in cambridge. we could get close to that again as we head towards the event of the weekend. it is not what you want to hear if you hate the heat. if you do not enjoy the heat, plate —— take plenty of fluids and keep the curtains facing the sun.

we know it is serious when you get your shorts on. always is! that is the true breakfast barometer of heat. acceptable in this heat. lots of schools bending the rules. allowing kids to wear shorts. two had to concentrate in school. you're watching bbc breakfast. it's 8.59. take your lessons outside.
