an amber weather warning. drivers at eight rail companies have voted to strike in a dispute over pay, but scotrail drivers accept an improved pay offer of 5%. the president of sri lanka says he will resign after thousands of demonstrators stormed his official residence in protest at the state of the economy. and still to come, we'll be looking at england and northern ireland's chances ahead of both their euro fixtures tonight. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. borisjohnson says in his final few weeks as prime minister, he's "determined" to deliver what he promised when elected in 2019.

in his first public appearance since resigning as conservative leader, he also said he wouldn't want to damage any of his colleagues�*s chances of getting his job by offering them his support. colleagues�* chances of getting his job by offering them his support. conservative mps will meet later to draw up the timetable and rules to replace him as the next party leader and prime minister. ros atkins is at westminster for you. hi, victoria, thank you. we are waiting on the details of how this contest will work. even though it began the moment borisjohnson said that he would be stepping down, we don't have the precise dates around how this will play out. we know that the mps will whittle the field down to two, we know the final vote will go to the members of the conservative party. but exactly how the chronology will play out, we're hoping to 1922 committee that

represents backbench conservative will clear that up. but the candidates have started to lay their policies. there's been a huge amount of attention on tax. a number of candidates emphasising they would bring in of attention on tax. a number of candidates emphasising they would bring in tax of attention on tax. a number of candidates emphasising they would bring in tax cuts of attention on tax. a number of candidates emphasising they would bring in tax cuts should of attention on tax. a number of candidates emphasising they would bring in tax cuts should they of attention on tax. a number of candidates emphasising they would bring in tax cuts should they be of attention on tax. a number of candidates emphasising they would bring in tax cuts should they be the next prime minister. let's bring ourselves up—to—date on how the day 11 candidates fighting for one vacancy. last night, foreign secretary liz truss became the latest cabinet minister to enter the race. in a video posted on social media this morning, she promises low taxes and economic growth. i want the best for us all, and i am the person to deliver that. some less prominent candidates are going for a more home—made tax and spend is the bread and butter of this contest. chancellor nadhim zahawi told sky news that claims he's being investigated over his financial affairs are a smear. he wants to cut taxes and the size of government. so, you're saying 20% cut in every department?

well, that's what i want to make sure we get to. that will give me the headroom to be able to deliver tax cuts, which i want to deliver. one of his leadership rivals, tom tugendhat, also wants to see lower taxes. i didn't vote for the - national insurance rise. i think i was one of a few- conservative mps who did not vote ifor the national insurance rise, | because we realised, i realised, it was a tax on jobs. given that we'd just come out of the two years of covid that| really hurt so many people around i the world, what we really need to be doing is going for growth. one candidate notable for their lack of any tax cut pledges is former chancellor rishi sunak. he's not been interviewed on camera yet, but his allies say this as a responsible position. i do think you have got to be very cautious about promising entirely unfunded tax cuts in the heat of a conservative leadership election. a conservative leadership election — which, as you said, i think quite rightly, has been in part caused by a loss of trust.

rishi sunak�*s position doesn't seem to have damaged his start to the campaign. of these 11 declared candidates so far, he has the most mps publicly backing him at this point. a decision on a leadership bid is still expected from home secretary priti patel. there may be a lot of candidates right now, but it's possible the numbers could come down fairly rapidly. about what the great public stand for, andl and i came to our great country to the age — and i came to our great country to the age of— and i came to our great country to the age of six. i did not speak a word _ the age of six. i did not speak a word of english.— the age of six. i did not speak a word of english. there may be a lot of candidates _ word of english. there may be a lot of candidates right _ word of english. there may be a lot of candidates right now. _ word of english. there may be a lot of candidates right now. today, - of candidates right now. today, conservative mps will meet to establish the rules. it's possible any and candidate could need as many as 20 fellow mps backing them just

to get into the first round of voting. mps are then expected to swiftly whittle the candidates down to a final two. former health secretary sajid javid reminds bullish. you until then, he stays in the topjob. he's not bullish. you until then, he stays in the top job. he's not revealing who he wants to take over. the topjob. he's not revealing who he wants to take over.— he wants to take over. there's a contest under way, and i - he wants to take over. there's a contest under way, and i just. contest under way, and ijust wouldn't _ contest under way, and ijust wouldn't want _ contest under way, and ijust wouldn't want to _ contest under way, and ijust wouldn't want to damage - contest under way, and ijust- wouldn't want to damage anybody's chances _ wouldn't want to damage anybody's chances by — wouldn't want to damage anybody's chances by offering _ wouldn't want to damage anybody's chances by offering my _ wouldn't want to damage anybody's chances by offering my support. - wouldn't want to damage anybody's chances by offering my support. i. chances by offering my support. i 'ust chances by offering my support. i just have — chances by offering my support. i just have to — chances by offering my support. i just have to get _ chances by offering my support. i just have to get on, _ chances by offering my support. i just have to get on, and - chances by offering my support. i just have to get on, and in- chances by offering my support. i just have to get on, and in the i chances by offering my support. i. just have to get on, and in the last few days _ just have to get on, and in the last few days and — just have to get on, and in the last few days and weeks, _ just have to get on, and in the last few days and weeks, the _ just have to get on, and in the last few days and weeks, the job - just have to get on, and in the last few days and weeks, the job of... i few days and weeks, the job of... the function — few days and weeks, the job of... the function of _ few days and weeks, the job of... the function of the _ few days and weeks, the job of... the function of the prime - few days and weeks, the job of... | the function of the prime minister in this— the function of the prime minister in this situation _ the function of the prime minister in this situation is _ the function of the prime minister in this situation is to _ the function of the prime minister in this situation is to discharge - in this situation is to discharge the mandate _ in this situation is to discharge the mandate to _ in this situation is to discharge the mandate to continue, - in this situation is to discharge the mandate to continue, and i in this situation is to discharge - the mandate to continue, and that's what i'm _ the mandate to continue, and that's what i'm doing _ the mandate to continue, and that's what i'm doing. we— the mandate to continue, and that's what i'm doing-— what i'm doing. we will have more clarity with — what i'm doing. we will have more clarity with the _ what i'm doing. we will have more clarity with the timescale - what i'm doing. we will have more clarity with the timescale shortly. l

we will speak to david in a moment. speaking earlier today, the former health secretary, sajid javid, launched his leadership campaign. let's hear some of what he had to say. this is a time for pulling together, not apart — this is a time for pulling together, not apart. this contest has already shown— not apart. this contest has already shown that — not apart. this contest has already shown that we do have talents and they're _ shown that we do have talents and they're already coming through. and i they're already coming through. and i have _ they're already coming through. and i have the _ they're already coming through. and i have the confidence to bring that talent _ i have the confidence to bring that talent to— i have the confidence to bring that talent to the top table. great pms, like all— talent to the top table. great pms, like all great bosses, surround themselves with people who are smarter— themselves with people who are smarter than them and people who can challenge _ smarter than them and people who can challenge their thinking. no one is the full— challenge their thinking. no one is the full package. i know i'm not. but if— the full package. i know i'm not. but if we — the full package. i know i'm not. but if we can get practising this 'ob but if we can get practising this job as the — but if we can get practising this job as the first among equals, we can transition from a team of rivals to an _ can transition from a team of rivals to an unrivaled team. well, with me now is our political correspondent, david wallace lockhart. hi, david. we're watching out for

the committee, do we know when? it should be fairly soon. early this evening, i expect. should be fairly soon. early this evening, iexpect. i should be fairly soon. early this evening, i expect. ithink should be fairly soon. early this evening, i expect. i think the key thing at such a crowded field is exactly how many mps set a threshold up exactly how many mps set a threshold up for a candidate to even get into the first round. there's some talk about that number being 20. it could even go higher. it's to ensure any candidate even gets on the first round ballot paper. has a base of support within the party. if you look at mps who have declared who they back —— who they're backing, they back —— who they're backing, they haven't actually hit that 20 threshold. many aren't publicly declared yet, so that may change, but it's setting quite a high threshold. it really could quite rapidly knock a few candidates out. we're looking for the threshold, but

presumably also a deadline for this to come down to two. we presumably also a deadline for this to come down to two.— to come down to two. we do know there is desire _ to come down to two. we do know there is desire to _ to come down to two. we do know there is desire to get _ to come down to two. we do know there is desire to get that - to come down to two. we do know there is desire to get that done . to come down to two. we do know there is desire to get that done by | there is desire to get that done by there is desire to get that done by the time that this place goes into recess next week. so the idea there is, conservative mps can vote quite regularly, whittling the candidates down until there are two left. they want to get there next week, and then those members will tour around then those members will tour around the country, and it will be those tory party members who select the next prime minister.— next prime minister. does all the whittlin: next prime minister. does all the whittling happened _ next prime minister. does all the whittling happened on _ next prime minister. does all the whittling happened on one - next prime minister. does all the whittling happened on one day i next prime minister. does all the whittling happened on one day or next prime minister. does all the i whittling happened on one day or do they stagger it through the week? that something we had a contest where it's been twice a week. but if there is a lot of candidates to get through, there's nothing to do them —— to stop them getting multiple

votes in one day. they also have to set out why they think they should get the backing of their colleagues. we're looking for the threshold, the date, the votes and how that will work two candidates, and the fourth piece of the jigsaw is when this decision is done.— piece of the jigsaw is when this decision is done. what we've been heafina decision is done. what we've been hearin: is decision is done. what we've been hearing is there's _ decision is done. what we've been hearing is there's a _ decision is done. what we've been hearing is there's a desire - decision is done. what we've been hearing is there's a desire to - decision is done. what we've been hearing is there's a desire to get l decision is done. what we've been hearing is there's a desire to get a new prime minister in place by the beginning of september. it's possible depending on the time limits that that could even be brought forward a little bit. worse johnson states prime minister until that point —— borisjohnson. they will want to give party members a bit of time to hear from the two candidates. a bit of time for them to get around the country and do hustings and various areas, so i suspect they will want to breathe for a bit. ., suspect they will want to breathe fora bit. ., ., , suspect they will want to breathe for a bit. ., ., , ., ~ for a bit. the labour party making it clear they _ for a bit. the labour party making it clear they don't _ for a bit. the labour party making it clear they don't like _ for a bit. the labour party making it clear they don't like this - for a bit. the labour party making it clear they don't like this plan i it clear they don't like this plan and they think borisjohnson needs

to be out of the way now. what's happened to their plan of bringing a vote of confidence this week? thea;t vote of confidence this week? they are also looking _ vote of confidence this week? they are also looking at _ vote of confidence this week? they are also looking at this _ are also looking at this announcement for the 1922 committee. i think they will be disappointed. i don't think the committee will come out and call on borisjohnson to go. they'rejust out and call on borisjohnson to go. they're just setting out the rules for the contest. i think there was a bit of upset initially from some quarters of the tory party would borisjohnson said he would say on his prime minister until there was a new leader of the conservative party. i think for most, they've accepted how that will work and that simply how the process will pay out. labour will bring forward vote in no—confidence. the conservative party still have a big majority. labour would need a lot of them to turn on their own government. auto point where a lot of that would be nervous about potential general election. some have too much tribal

loyalty to a party to do that. i suspect labour may want to do that, create a bit more turmoil, but it's difficult to see how that result in removing borisjohnson. difficult to see how that result in removing boris johnson.- difficult to see how that result in removing boris johnson. david, thank ou ve removing boris johnson. david, thank you very much- _ removing boris johnson. david, thank you very much. victoria, _ removing boris johnson. david, thank you very much. victoria, we - removing boris johnson. david, thank you very much. victoria, we are - you very much. victoria, we are keeping a very close eye out for when the 1922 committee communicates with all of us. even though this leadership contest is in full swing, the precise date that it's going to finish we still don't know. we will be back with you. thank you very much. a teenage boy has been given a life sentence and will stay in jail for at least 13 years for the murder of 12—year—old ava white, who was fatally stabbed in the city centre on november 25th last year. the boy was 1a at the time, now 15, and can't be

named for legal reasons. our correspondent rowan bridge is at liverpool crown court. there wasn't a free seat in the gallery today as it's been an emotional day of testimony as a vow�*s family watched the proceedings. there were gasps when the term was handed down. her death was described as a chance encounter. she and her friends was described as a chance encounter. she and herfriends had come into town to watch the christmas lights which on when she ended up getting into a row with the 14—year—old over a snapchat video. she shoved him and he pulled out a knife and stabbed her once in the neck. she died later from injuries. the impact of her death wasn't laid out in court. —— was laid out. her parents describes how they relived on a daily basis death of their 12—year—old daughter. her mum said how she would never see her child grow into an adult, never

see her mary, have children, fulfil her dream of travel the world. sentencing, thejustice her dream of travel the world. sentencing, the justice describe her dream of travel the world. sentencing, thejustice describe how ava's family was handed a life sentence, but the ripples of this case spread out to the 14—year—old's family as well. they had to be relocated out of liverpool because of threats against them. rowan bridge, thank you. most of the 11 candidates in the conservative leadership race are promising big tax cuts, but some aren't being clear about how they'd fund them and what impact they could have tens of billions of pounds of tax cuts. the extraordinary thing about

that is not that a conservative leadership candidate would want to cut taxes, that's quite natural for them, but we have seen these taxes just go up in the past few months. so it's the grand old duke of york kind of description of how these will go up and potentially come down if a certain prime minister comes in. what you have here, in the backdrop to this, what you've got here, in the backdrop to this, in order to meet the borrowing targets in the conservative manifesto, there's about £30 billion, 1% of the worth of our economy, of room for manoeuvre. normally, you want to keep that in tact for a rainy day. but this is essentially being spent. that's the difference between the 3% rise in taxation and the 2% that has been spent on extra public services, things like social care and those nhs waiting lists we are trying to deal with. what we're not getting is how that will be cut back. very few explanations of that. they say it will all be done by efficiency savings, but that raises the question as to what the current government, the same government, is spending the money on right now. lots of promises of really quite massive tax cuts. we have just had tax rises.

not much explanation of where spending might be cut. at the moment, they don't say the borrowing rules are going to change. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, has attacked what he calls an "arms race of fantasy economics" by the conservative leadership hopefuls. sir keir accused them of making unfunded tax promises, and says some are now opposing tax increases they approved while serving in boris johnson's government. the tory leadership race hasn't even officially begun yet, but the arms race of fantasy economics is well under way. over the weekend, the contenders have made more than £200 billion worth of unfunded spending commitments. 200 billion. let that sink in. that's more than the annual budget of the nhs, splurged onto the pages of the sunday papers, without a word on how it will be paid for. the labour leader was speaking

on a visit to gateshead, from where our political correspondent, alex forsyth, spoke to us earlier. well, this was meant to be about labour's vision for the economy and public services, but with all the noise around the conservative leadership contest threatening to drown out every thing else, sir keir decided to weigh in. he accused the contenders of making wild spending commitments. he said labour would not make unfunded pledges. but he would not be drawn on the specifics of labour's tax policy. i asked him repeatedly if labour would reverse the increases in national insurance, he wouldn't say. he didn't spell out plans for income tax or corporation tax. bear in mind, he has called for an early general election. he said he wouldn't write labour's manifesto during a course of interviews. but remember, sir keir starmer has often defined himself as a leader against borisjohnson, and there are some in his party, and some in the country now, looking at him and saying, "what would you do if you were elected to government?"

the conservative mp for bridgend jamie wallis has been found guilty of failing to stop and report an accident after crashing his car in the early hours of the morning in november last year. our correspondent hywel griffith has been following the case. yes, he was charged with four different offences. he was cleared of driving without due contention, but found guilty on all three others. it all goes back to events in the early hours of sunday morning last november, when he crashed his car into a lamp post on a country lane not farfrom his home. now, after the crash, two eyewitnesses, people living nearby, came to try to help him, but instead of responding to them, he started to walk and indeed run away. those witnesses report seeing him wearing a leather miniskirt, types, wearing a leather miniskirt, tights, high heels and a necklace. that's significant because we should remember thatjamie wallis is the first westminster mp to come out as transgender.

now, in his defence and given the reasons first fleeing the scene, he was talking about the trauma of grappling with his identity and an event last year when he was raped. his defence barrister said he had suffered from ptsd, so in the aftermath, he was unable to make rational decisions and fled in fear of his safety. but the district judge said he didn't find jamie wallis's evidence credible. so he found him guilty. sentencing him to disqualification from driving for six months and finding him a total of two and a half thousand pounds. as les has announced members have voted to strike in a dispute over pgy- “ voted to strike in a dispute over pay. —— aslef. voted to strike in a dispute over pay- -- aslef-— voted to strike in a dispute over pay. -- aslef. the first important thin is pay. -- aslef. the first important thing is these _ pay. -- aslef. the first important thing is these are _ pay. -- aslef. the first important thing is these are eight _ pay. -- aslef. the first important thing is these are eight train -

thing is these are eight train drivers from eight companies. so, they all voted today, according to aslef, overwhelmingly in favour of strike action in order to negotiate on their pay. the next big step is whether or not the strikes will go ahead. aslef will sit back and look and see whether or not they are offered more things by the train operators, whether or not there's further negotiation. if aslef decide that strike action is required, the next step is to find out when that strike action might happen. train drivers do not regularly strike. this is quite a major event when this does happen. and it's very highly disruptive. one person i spoke to today explain this to me. when you have other action for other unions, we are able to get more people into replace them. you that

was obviously still very highly disruptive. they were still able to get some signal. they had about 10% capacity. the big problem is trying to get train drivers to a place —— replace those who are on strike. if they do go on strike, it's difficult to find people who aren't members or people who have those skill sets. the other thing is whether or not they will try to collaborate. if they will try to collaborate. if they all decide to strike action on they all decide to strike action on the same days, that could be incredibly disruptive, but still for the people who use those lines. this is not something that's going to happen in the next two weeks. it depends on how quickly aslef decide. the hot weather is expected to continue this week. temperatures are forecast to reach up to 33 celsius today in southern england, with a heat health alert being issued in some parts of the uk.

scotland and northern ireland had their hottest days of the year so far on sunday. the met office has issued a level 3 alert for southern england and the east midlands. people are being advised to stay indoors during the middle of the day, drink plenty of fluids and take extra care of young children. let's speak to darrell gale, who's director of public health for east sussex. hello to you. how hot is it there and what a wonderful summer shirt. thank you very much! at the moment, it's 27 degrees, and i'm sat right on the seafront. i've got a great view out over the sea and the beach. it's still quite busy but not as much in the school holidays. in terms of this elf alert, what does that mean for what you have to advise the people of east sussex? == advise the people of east sussex? -- health alert. he causes about 2000

excess deaths annually, so we really want people to modify their behaviour so that they look out for each other, the most vulnerable, which includes both young people and older people. also those with existing long—term conditions. also look out for people with friends and relatives and neighbours who live alone, just to check on them and make sure they're ok. alone, just to check on them and make sure they're 0k.— alone, just to check on them and make sure they're 0k. we're kind of not neared make sure they're 0k. we're kind of not geared tip _ make sure they're 0k. we're kind of not geared tip for — make sure they're 0k. we're kind of not geared up for these _ make sure they're 0k. we're kind of not geared up for these high - not geared up for these high temperatures in this country stop for many people, it isn't good news. if anyone suffers from heart or lung conditions, this can be really difficult. opening windows to let the air through, that can be really harmful because the air outside is very often warmer than it is inside. so we suggest people keep the curtains and blinds shut during the day, that they keep the windows shut

and they do seek shade particularly in the middle of the day. and they don't go out and exercise in the times they normally would not quite if you do a run or a dog, go early morning when it's much cooler. 28 degrees at night in some places? absolutely. go very early morning or not at all. it's ok to do without the run a couple of days a year. i think you look like you've caught the son darrell. i think you look like you've caught the son darrell.— think you look like you've caught the son darrell. i spent all weeks in the garden. — the son darrell. i spent all weeks in the garden, so _ the son darrell. i spent all weeks in the garden, so although - the son darrell. i spent all weeks in the garden, so although i - the son darrell. i spent all weeks in the garden, so although i was| in the garden, so although i was putting on the suntan lotion, i've got a bit of a colour to myself. i bet it was 50, it should have been. it was factor 30.— it was factor 30. ok, fair enough. thank you — it was factor 30. ok, fair enough. thank you very — it was factor 30. ok, fair enough. thank you very much. _ it was factor 30. ok, fair enough. thank you very much. thank - it was factor 30. ok, fair enough. thank you very much. thank you | it was factor 30. ok, fair enough. - thank you very much. thank you very much. thank you very much. thank you very much- darrell— thank you very much. thank you very much. darrell gail. _ so, what's it like working during this heat? let's talk to michael connolly, a dental technician who runs a lab

supported the prime minister? i think the prime minister had a massive amount of support in the elections and people still do passionately support him so it is not a clear—cut thing but we do need to rebuild some relationships. he did get a lot of things wrong and we have to move forward and we need a leader who can build stability and start to have that honest conversation with the public. kemi badenoch i think is that person. but there are also a lot of talented people in the party. the there are also a lot of talented people in the party.— people in the party. the 1922 committee — people in the party. the 1922 committee will _ people in the party. the 1922 committee will take - people in the party. the 1922 committee will take a - people in the party. the 1922 i committee will take a decision people in the party. the 1922 - committee will take a decision about the threshold, how many candidates i needed and we think that is going to change. are you concerned they will raise that so far that candidates will have to work up so much momentum that they will be disadvantaged? i momentum that they will be disadvantaged?— momentum that they will be disadvantaged? momentum that they will be disadvantaeed? :, :, ~ :, disadvantaged? i would not like to see a chink — disadvantaged? i would not like to see a chink to _ disadvantaged? i would not like to see a chink to the _ disadvantaged? i would not like to see a chink to the extent - disadvantaged? i would not like to see a chink to the extent were - disadvantaged? i would not like to| see a chink to the extent were only long—term favourites who have been

quickly. conclude this leadership contest euickl . :, ~ conclude this leadership contest euickl. :, ~' let's speak now to chloe smith, mp for norwich north. we will speak to her in a minute. five things that we are watching out for, is the threshold going to be lifted, the number of mps any candidate needs. the second thing is what is the process going to be going from the big group of candidates we have got down to just two. and thirdly when will the process finish, when will we get down to the final two candidates and also we want to know when the members vote on the final two. and then the other thing i'm looking out for is how is labour going to respond, is it going to go through with its plan to hold a vote of confidence tomorrow in the house of commons and if so how do we think that conservative mps will see that?

chloe smith is joining that conservative mps will see that? chloe smith isjoining me now. thank you forjoining us. plenty of options as you surveyed the candidates, who is catching your eye? candidates, who is catching your e e? �* , , , candidates, who is catching your e e? �* , ,, _ , ., eye? i'm impressed by liz trust and i think she eye? i'm impressed by liz trust and i think she is _ eye? i'm impressed by liz trust and i think she is the _ eye? i'm impressed by liz trust and i think she is the only _ eye? i'm impressed by liz trust and i think she is the only candidate - eye? i'm impressed by liz trust and i think she is the only candidate in i i think she is the only candidate in the field with the kind of experience we need to take on the serious challenges facing the country. serious challenges facing the count . ~ :, serious challenges facing the count . . ., :, :, , country. what do other things you think she could _ country. what do other things you think she could do _ country. what do other things you think she could do as _ country. what do other things you think she could do as prime - think she could do as prime minister?— think she could do as prime minister? ,, :, , , :, :, ~ minister? she has been out talking toda and minister? she has been out talking today and setting _ minister? she has been out talking today and setting out _ minister? she has been out talking today and setting out a _ minister? she has been out talking today and setting out a very - minister? she has been out talking today and setting out a very strongj today and setting out a very strong vision for the economy and more detail to come of course in days to come but i think the key point is she has a clear conservative vision and set of values backed by the ability to deliver them. there and set of values backed by the ability to deliver them.- ability to deliver them. are you concerned _ ability to deliver them. are you concerned by — ability to deliver them. are you concerned by the _ ability to deliver them. are you concerned by the fact _ ability to deliver them. are you concerned by the fact that - concerned by the fact that conservative mps saw the government as lacking integrity and that is one of the reasons people moved against borisjohnson and liz of the reasons people moved against boris johnson and liz truss of the reasons people moved against borisjohnson and liz truss as part of his operation. i

indeed rishi sunak needs to answer those questions himself as do all the candidates and so for me it comes back to the seriousness of the experience and ability to deliver that you see on a person like liz truss. to give you some examples, she was able to deliver trade deals with australia and japan when people said it was impossible. these are weighty examples of the kind of public service she has done and i would hope to see more of. in terms ofthe would hope to see more of. in terms of the process _ would hope to see more of. in terms of the process that _ would hope to see more of. in terms of the process that plays _ would hope to see more of. in terms of the process that plays out - would hope to see more of. in terms of the process that plays out here i of the process that plays out here are you comfortable with while that process happens, the man being in charge of the country as a man who many of your own mps concluded is unfit for office. why are you comfortable with that? riff unfit for office. why are you comfortable with that? of course the labour party — comfortable with that? of course the labour party would _ comfortable with that? of course the labour party would not _ comfortable with that? of course the labour party would not be _ labour party would not be comfortable with a conservative party being in power and that is up to them. , :, party being in power and that is up to them. , ., :, _ party being in power and that is up to them. , ., :, ~ .~ to them. they are not saying kick the can service _ to them. they are not saying kick the can service out _ to them. they are not saying kick the can service out of _ to them. they are not saying kick| the can service out of government but just saying the can service out of government butjust saying replace boris johnson with dominic raab. i see

eleven candidates so far are in the running to become your next prime minister. as conservative mps meet to set out the rules for the party's leadership contest this evening. a 15—year—old boy has been given a life sentence with a minimum of thirteen years — for the murder of the schoolgirl, ava white. extreme heat across large parts of the uk is expected to last into early next week. the met office issues an amber weather warning. a leak of documents has shown how uber secretly lobbied uk politicians to help change transport policy in london. in meetings that were never declared, uber�*s lobbyists met george osborne when he was conservative chancellor and a number of other ministers. the documents were leaked to the guardian newspaper and shared with the international consortium of investigative journalists and the bbc. uber denies its lobbying was secret and the ministers say rules were followed. richard bilton reports.

when uber arrived in london, there was chaos. black cab drivers weren't happy and blockaded the capital. the then london mayor, borisjohnson, set up a review that 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 encapsulates 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. "0k, 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 engagements 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. and panorama — taking us for a ride: the uber files is on bbc2 at 8pm tonight and on iplayer. sri lanka's president has confirmed that he intends to resign in two days' time.

the parliamentary speaker said the president had left the country after fleeing huge crowds which stormed his palace to protest against rising prices, and shortages of food and fuel. but he insisted the president would return by wednesday. our south asia editor is in the capital colombo. a historic moment for many sri lankans. they want to cherish it and capture it. thousands have been coming to see the office of president gotobaya rajapaksa that was stormed by huge crowds on saturday. a culmination of months' long process against the president, accusing him of mismanaging the economy. sri lanka is bankrupt. it is struggling to import essential items. the situation is so bad. we are here to come, we are here to throw away this bad politics. so, i am happy to stay here today.

why did you come here, to see this place? we have to stay together in this situation. so that's why i'm here. kilometre—long queues outside a petrol station are a common sight. without fuel, the economy has come to a standstill. public transport, severely disrupted. the desperation is unlikely to change, even if there is a new government. amidst all this political crisis, sri lanka is still facing a crippling shortage of fuel. and look at this, three wheelers, auto rickshaws, motorbikes, they are more than two kilometres long. the auto driver here says he has been waiting in the queue for more than a day. and that reflects the ground reality. unless the government get their act together, the international community will not come forward to help them. in the meantime, sri lankans are curious to know how the president lived.

they are aware this sprawling compound will soon be occupied by his successor. sri lanka's political leaders say they are working to form a new government. now colombo is running from pillar to post for loans. an immediate change in government helps. but a new government that comes in by popular vote, through an election, will help even more, i think, in converting the goodwill of the international community to support sri lanka in the way forward. sri lanka is a classic case of a country that was living beyond its means. the protesters say, at least for now, they have achieved what they wanted by removing mr rajapaksa from power. but they are also aware this economic misery will not be solved any time soon. anbarasan ethirajan, bbc news, colombo.

the vigil has been held to celebrate shinzo abe ofjapan who was assassinated on friday. a man has been convicted of his assassination. this was a family event but we had many international ambassadors. we had the current japanese prime minister and all the ministers as well as lawmakers from the ruling liberal democrat party of japan which just had that resounding victory in the upper house elections on sunday. the ruling party along with its coalition partner have more than two thirds of the seats in parliament which means they have the ability to change the constitution

which is something shinzo abe had been passionate about. so all the lawmakers were saying they wanted to dedicate the victory yesterday to shinzo abe. the funeral will also be taking place tomorrow. we don't have too many details about who will be attending but we know it will start attending but we know it will start at local time. the composer monty norman, who wrote the theme for the james bond films, has died at the age of 94. norman began his career singing in big bands before forging a career writing for musicals and films such as songbook, poppy and make me an offer. our correspondent lizo mzimba looks back at his life. over the years 007 may have changed but one thing remains constant.
