i'm annita mcvelgh in westminster, on a busy day in politics. rishi sunak launches bid for the topjob after an endorsement from the deputy prime minister dominic raab and an attack on his leadership rivals. he said it was not credible to promised tax cuts now. we need a return to traditional conservative economic values, and that means honesty and responsibility, not fairy tales. the transport secretary grant shapps has pulled out of the leadership race and is also backing rishi sunak. and in the last few minute, priti patel has also said she will not be standing. the remaining candidates have until 6pm to secure the backing of at least 20 colleagues.

and i will have the rest of the day �*s news. most people know me as mo farah, but it's not my name. it's not the reality. the olympic star mo farah has revealed that he was trafficked into the uk as a child and forced to work as a domestic servant. a bbc investigation has discovered that the sas executed detainees and murdered unarmed people in afghanistan. heathrow airport limits the number of passengers who can depart each day to reduce travel disruption. and nasser �*s new telescope delivers its first full colour image showing light from galaxies that are billions of years old. —— nasser.

good afternoon. it has been another busy day at westminster with several conservative mps launching bids to be the next leader of the party and the country's new pro minister. rishi sunak, kemi badenoch and kemi badenoch have all been making their case. let's go to my colleague, who is in westminster with the latest. thank you, yes, welcome back to westminster, where we are just a little under four hours away now from 6pm, the time by which anyone wishing to enter the contest to become the next conservative leader and prime minister has to get the backing of 20 mp5. in the last few minutes we have heard that one of the people who was widely tipped to stand, priti patel the home secretary, is not going to do so. let me briefly reduce some of the points she is making in her statement. she says, "i'm grateful for the encouragement and support of

colleagues and party members in recent days. they have suggested i enter the contest for the leadership of the conservative party but i will not be putting my name forward for the ballot of mps. like all conservative mps and party members, i will be listening to cases been put forward by the candidates standing for the leadership of the party, and trust the contest will be conducted in a good spirit that brings our party together". of course, there had been speculation that if she entered the contest, what impact that would have on candidates from the right of the party, now that she is not we will take a look in the few moments with our political correspondent. with a look at how that affects the dynamic of this race to become the next tory leader and prime minister. meanwhile, three of those who are very much in the running to enter the contest have been making speeches today. they have formally launched their campaigns. rishi sunak was one of those and he said it is not credible to promise lots

more spending and lower taxes. conservative mps have until the end of the day to win the support of at least 20 colleagues, allowing them to officiallyjoin the contest to be the next conservative leader. tomorrow, the first round of voting will take place among the conservative mps. candidates with fewer than 30 votes at that stage must withdraw. further rounds of voting will whittle the number down to two finalist before the end of next week, so a really speedy process. after that it is up to party members to vote for who they would like to be the next leader. last time, 160,000 were eligible to take part, and the result of that will be announced on september the 5th. 0ur political correspondent helen catch reports. not one, not two, but three campaign launches this morning as nominations formally open in the conservative leadership contest. already assured of his place, rishi sunak, keen to paint himself

as the financially responsible candidate at his launch this morning. my message to the party and the country is simple, i have a plan to steer our economy through these headwinds. we need a return to traditional conservative economic values. and that means honesty and responsibility, not fairy tales. looking on, the transport secretary, grant shapps, who announced he had dropped out of the race to back rishi sunak. at the same time, the chair of the foreign affairs select committee was launching his bid. we need leadership with a renewed sense of mission. one that delivers results. leadership that will return government to the service of our economy, our people, and our country. the former equalities

minister set out her pitch. throughout my life there have been people who said you can't, you shouldn't, this is not for you, and in politics many people who said you're in the wrong party, you are saying the wrong things, you can't do that. but i'm not the sort of person you can sideline or silence. she but i'm not the sort of person you can sideline or silence.— can sideline or silence. she is one of several — can sideline or silence. she is one of several candidates _ can sideline or silence. she is one of several candidates competing l can sideline or silence. she is one i of several candidates competing for votes of the party �*s right wing, along with the attorney general suella braverman and also liz truss. she picked up a couple of big endorsements this morning, shoring up endorsements this morning, shoring up the remaining brexit credentials. liz truss is the best candidate. that is what we are working for. she is a eurosceptic, she will deliver for the voters and she believes in low taxation. and she's a woman. home secretary priti patel has now confirmed she will not be running. some worry that the right—wing votes will end up being split between too many candidates. labour �*s shadow cabinet, meeting in high wycombe, is concerned about what is happening

while this is going on. it is planning to call if those micro vote of no—confidence in the government tomorrow. of no-confidence in the government tomorrow. ., , of no-confidence in the government tomorrow. . , ., , of no-confidence in the government tomorrow. . , , tomorrow. finally, the tory party concluded _ tomorrow. finally, the tory party concluded that _ tomorrow. finally, the tory party concluded that boris _ tomorrow. finally, the tory party concluded that boris johnson - tomorrow. finally, the tory party concluded that boris johnson was concluded that borisjohnson was unfit to be prime minister and that was blindingly obvious a very long time ago. but having come to that conclusion, they can't now expect the country to allow him to cling on for weeks on end. the the country to allow him to cling on for weeks on end.— the country to allow him to cling on for weeks on end. the reason there had been three _ for weeks on end. the reason there had been three launches _ for weeks on end. the reason there had been three launches happening for weeks on end. the reason there i had been three launches happening at exactly the same time this morning in westminster is because this contest is happening pretty quickly. candidates have only got until 6pm today to get the backing of 20 conservative mps to enter the race at all, and by the round of voting tomorrow, they will need 30 to stay in. that means they will need to take every chance to schmooze their colleagues. the party is trying to whittle down the field to just two by next week. let's pick up with that news breaking in the last few minutes at

priti patel, the home secretary, will not be standing in this contest. what impact will that have on the dynamic? i contest. what impact will that have on the dynamic?— contest. what impact will that have on the dynamic? i think that was the big decision — on the dynamic? i think that was the big decision we _ on the dynamic? i think that was the big decision we were _ on the dynamic? i think that was the big decision we were all— on the dynamic? i think that was the big decision we were all waiting - on the dynamic? i think that was the big decision we were all waiting to i big decision we were all waiting to hear. priti patel had been weighing up hear. priti patel had been weighing up over the last couple of days whether or not she should enter the race, and she has now confirmed that she won't. she said she is grateful for the encouragement and support that colleagues and party members had offered her in recent days, but she would not be putting her name forward for the ballot of mps. now, the question there is, where do those who perhaps might have been hanging on to see if there was a priti patel bid that they would back, who do they now coalesce behind? there are a few candidates who are appealing to the right wing of the party, so liz truss the foreign secretary, who has been keen to pick up some of those votes. she had an endorsement this morning from jacob rees mogg and nadine dorries. and suella braverman, she was the first to say she would run, she is

also looking to pick up votes from that wing of the party and she has got the endorsement of steve baker, who was a leading brexiteer. he was warning in recent days that he was worried that the number of candidates from that wing of the party risked factoring the vote, and therefore lessen the chances potentially of getting one of their candidates, if you like, into the final two. d0 candidates, if you like, into the finaltwo. ~ ., ., , , ., final two. do we know at this stage who definitely _ final two. do we know at this stage who definitely has _ final two. do we know at this stage who definitely has the _ final two. do we know at this stage who definitely has the backing - final two. do we know at this stage who definitely has the backing of. final two. do we know at this stage | who definitely has the backing of 20 mp5, and can go forward into the mps, and can go forward into the first round of voting? we know at least three of the candidates already have that number this morning but is there an update on that? ~ ., morning but is there an update on that? ., ., ,, , morning but is there an update on that? . , , ., that? what happens next is that those nominations _ that? what happens next is that those nominations are _ that? what happens next is that those nominations are open - that? what happens next is that| those nominations are open until that? what happens next is that - those nominations are open until 6pm this evening, and by that point anyone who does not have that 20 will not be able to enter the contest at all. there is then a first round of voting tomorrow among mps, and they will need to get even more support by tomorrow, the support of 30 mps to be able to stay

in the contest. so that is a reasonably high bar. and after that, there is a succession of different rounds of voting by the person who comes last gets eliminated in each round, until you are down to the final two. the final two will then go out to a vote of all conservative members over the summer, and it is they who will decide the final winner, who will be announced on september the 5th. helen, thank you. well, we already know that rishi sunak, penny mordaunt and tom tugendhat already have that requirement with at least 20 mp5 have that requirement with at least 20 mps backing them to go into the first round of voting. mark logan is the conservative mp for bolton north—east. thank you forjoining us this morning. why are you backing tom tugendhat?— this morning. why are you backing tom tu~endhat? �* , , tom tugendhat? because he will bring inteuri tom tugendhat? because he will bring integrity back — tom tugendhat? because he will bring integrity back into _ tom tugendhat? because he will bring integrity back into politics. _ tom tugendhat? because he will bring integrity back into politics. we - integrity back into politics. we have seen over recent weeks and months has been a complete breakdown in trust amongst the public, not just in my constituency but right

across the country, and i would be very proud to see tom representing us, notjust at very proud to see tom representing us, not just at the despatch very proud to see tom representing us, notjust at the despatch box, but on the world stage, g7, g20 meetings, he will be someone we can be proud of and he has the integrity. but also, he has the enthusiasm and the patriotism to lead this country. 50 enthusiasm and the patriotism to lead this country.— lead this country. so you clearly think as a _ lead this country. so you clearly think as a backbencher - lead this country. so you clearly think as a backbencher he - lead this country. so you clearly think as a backbencher he has l lead this country. so you clearly| think as a backbencher he has an advantage over those more closely associated with borisjohnson. at the flip side of that is, does he have the experience of cabinet and government? the have the experience of cabinet and government?— have the experience of cabinet and government? the great thing about tom is he is — government? the great thing about tom is he is completely _ government? the great thing about tom is he is completely untainted l government? the great thing aboutl tom is he is completely untainted by the outgoing administration, so he is going to have a clean start from day one when he is in downing street and he brings in his team of advisers, he will have the right culture in downing street and also the right people around him in the cabinet, right down to junior ministerial level. he has had experience peevishly before coming into politics, he had a senior position within the military and it just shows that he has heart for

this country and that he has served this country and that he has served this country and that he has served this country throughout his career. how much have you heard about the detail of his policies? we saw his speech earlier, his formal launch of his campaign, and let's talk about the economy first of all because so many of the candidates are talking about that front and centre. he said, using a military analogy, that "tax cuts can't be the only round in the magazine". but what more will he do for the economy to get it growing and to deal with inflation and so forth? ~ ., and to deal with inflation and so forth? ~ . ., ., ., ., forth? we have heard a lot over recent days. — forth? we have heard a lot over recent days, people _ forth? we have heard a lot over recent days, people having - forth? we have heard a lot over recent days, people having this| recent days, people having this never—ending auction to release the biggest slogan when it comes to taxation, but there has to be a longer term view and that is what he is getting across today. it is a serious and exciting launch this morning for the campaign, and tom tugendhat will be focusing on growth. at the end of the day, we need to be able to have growth to level up communities like mine in bolton in the north—east. we have seen more and more of my colleagues in the north of england, for

example, come on board and support his campaign. my colleague who is east of me, and also the colleague to the west and north jake berry, they are all on board. so tom has a plan and the backing from many mps across the country. you plan and the backing from many mps across the country.— across the country. you think he can a- eal to across the country. you think he can appeal to swing _ across the country. you think he can appeal to swing voters, _ across the country. you think he can appeal to swing voters, the - across the country. you think he can appeal to swing voters, the sort - across the country. you think he can appeal to swing voters, the sort of. appeal to swing voters, the sort of voters who have moved away from the conservatives to the lib dems and labour in recent by—elections? 100% because they want a clean start. mark logan mp, thank you for your time this afternoon. so, just a little under four hours left now until we will have the full and final list of those candidates moving forward into the next round of this contest, well really, the first round. certainly the first round of voting. they have to have at least 20 mps backing them and we will keep an eye on any developments through the afternoon.

let's look at some of the days of the news. mo farah has revealed he was trafficked into the uk as a child. he told the bbc he was born hussein abdi kahin but was given the name mo farah by those who view him that —— flew him from somalia with fake documents. he previously had said he came from with his parents as a refugee. 0ne refugee. one of the defining moments of the london 2012 olympics. so mo farah on super saturday, taking gold in the 10,000 metres, cementing his place in the history books. but, life could have turned out to be very different and we now know he is not who we think he is.— different and we now know he is not who we think he is. most people know me as mo farah. _ who we think he is. most people know me as mo farah, but _ who we think he is. most people know me as mo farah, but it's _ who we think he is. most people know me as mo farah, but it's not - who we think he is. most people know me as mo farah, but it's not my -

me as mo farah, but it's not my name. it is not the reality. the real story is, i was born in somaliland, north of somalia. i was born as hussein abdi kahin. in a new documentary, he also revealed he was a child slave, traffic to the uk at the age of nine, and forced to work for a family the age of nine, and forced to work fora family in the age of nine, and forced to work for a family in west london. myjob was to look after those kids, shower them, cook for them, was to look after those kids, shower them, cook forthem, clean was to look after those kids, shower them, cook for them, clean for them. them, cook forthem, cleanforthem. she them, cook for them, clean for them. she said, them, cook forthem, cleanforthem. she said, if them, cook for them, clean for them. she said, if you ever want to see yourfamily again, don't she said, if you ever want to see your family again, don't say anything. if you say anything, they will take you away. 0ften anything. if you say anything, they will take you away. often i would lock myself in a bathroom and cry and nobody was there to help. after and nobody was there to help. after a while, ijust learned not to have that emotion. despite what was happening behind closed doors, mo farah was a cut above the rest during his teenage years, and it was

a conversation with his pe teacher who helped him escape from the abuse at home. years later, the documentary captures the moment he is reunited with his mum, who he thought had died. my mum is called aisha. i will never forget my mum thought had died. my mum is called aisha. i will neverforget my mum on that tape. the tape had a number on it, a number to call. and she said, "if this is a bother or causing you trouble, you don't have to contact me". i said, trouble, you don't have to contact me". isaid, of trouble, you don't have to contact me". i said, of course i will contact you. at that point, that is when i first called my mum.

mo farah says he has made this documentary to tell the world what really happened in his childhood, and to shed light on the serious issue of modern slavery, to show people greatness can be achieved even after monumental trauma. and you can see the documentary on bbc one at 9pm tomorrow night, and on the bbc iplayer. well, now we can go tojessica turnerfrom well, now we can go tojessica turner from the charity cameco anti—slavery to get more on this story. thank you forjoining us. there is an incredible amount of courage there, not only to go through something like this, but to speak out about it. x�*fes. through something like this, but to speak out about it.— speak out about it. yes. thank you for havin:

individuals impacted by modern slavery, and it is so important that mo farah has had the courage to come forward and really put the human face on the suffering of modern slavery. in face on the suffering of modern slave . . .., . face on the suffering of modern slave . , .. , ., , face on the suffering of modern slave . , ., ., ., slavery. in his case, it was a woman he didn't know. _ slavery. in his case, it was a woman he didn't know, who _ slavery. in his case, it was a woman he didn't know, who took— slavery. in his case, it was a woman he didn't know, who took him - slavery. in his case, it was a woman he didn't know, who took him on . slavery. in his case, it was a woman he didn't know, who took him on a i he didn't know, who took him on a plane across with fake documents. this was, of course, back in the 90s when he was younger. what form does it more commonly take in the modern day? it more commonly take in the modern da ? ., , ., , ., day? there are multiple forms of modern slavery, _ day? there are multiple forms of modern slavery, and _ day? there are multiple forms of modern slavery, and the - day? there are multiple forms of modern slavery, and the really . modern slavery, and the really important thing here is that in 2015, the uk to introduce the modern slavery act. under this act, human trafficking, including child trafficking, including child trafficking, domestic servitude and forced labour are all considered forms of modern slavery. there are many other forms as well. in the case of mo farah, this kind of trafficking still happens today. that kind of thing could still occur today, but after the introduction of the modern slavery act in 2015, we shouldst have mechanisms to protect people so they can come forward at

the time and, not only to expose what has happened to them, but seek protection when they do put themselves forward. it’s protection when they do put themselves forward. it's incredibly difficult to get _ themselves forward. it's incredibly difficult to get a _ themselves forward. it's incredibly difficult to get a true _ themselves forward. it's incredibly difficult to get a true sense - themselves forward. it's incredibly difficult to get a true sense of - themselves forward. it's incredibly difficult to get a true sense of the | difficult to get a true sense of the numbers, isn't it? but how prevalent does trafficking seem to be, from what we can gather, and what are some of the signs people can look out for if they want to alert someone to this?— out for if they want to alert someone to this? yes, it is difficult to _ someone to this? yes, it is difficult to know _ someone to this? yes, it is difficult to know the - someone to this? yes, it is difficult to know the true i someone to this? yes, it is - difficult to know the true numbers, as you say. the home office does document the numbers. from 2021 from their end of your statistic, the home office actually documented nearly 30,000 confirmed cases of modern slavery in the uk. other estimates go as high as 130,000, so is seen as a massive scale here that we are talking about. that data really is not known. the really important thing here is it is a difficult thing to come forward, firstly to know that you have been a victim of trafficking, and then to have the courage to come forward and to say what has happened to you when you don't know what that means for

your future. you don't know what that means for yourfuture. while you don't know what that means for your future. while we do know some of the numbers, we also don't know the full scale, and it's important to remember that the human suffering behind those numbers, however big they are, one person experiencing modern slavery is too many. jessica, thank ou modern slavery is too many. jessica, thank you for— modern slavery is too many. jessica, thank you for your _ modern slavery is too many. jessica, thank you for your time _ modern slavery is too many. jessica, thank you for your time and - modern slavery is too many. jessica, thank you for your time and for - modern slavery is too many. jessica, thank you for your time and for your| thank you for your time and for your thoughts. jessica turner. thank you so much. a bbc investigation has uncovered evidence that members of the british sas executed detainees and murdered unarmed people in afghanistan. panorama has discovered that one unit killed 5a people in suspicious circumstances, that senior officers failed to report the alleged murders, and they didn't disclose evidence to the military police. the mod says it will always hold uk troops to the highest standards and that they serve with courage and professionalism in afghanistan. special forces were out most nights. in the winter of 2010,

the sas were hunting the taliban. but we have found some uk units were out of control. the sas came here, a village in central helmand, through a hole into the wall and into a building. people here say that everybody in the house was brought into the courtyard and the special forces troops bound all the men's hands. and then, one man was taken back inside and killed. haji ibrahim was a former district governor. a un investigation found he was not a threat, but an unarmed civilian. translation: his hands were tied at the front. i he had been killed. they had shot him in the corner of his eye, and later they had fired a shot at my father's chest.

the suspicious killing was far from a one off. panorama obtained military reports that show people were repeatedly shot dead after surrendering to the sas. in report after report, special forces claimed they sent a detainee back into the building to help with the search. the detainee was then shot, after supposedly grabbing a weapon. military insiders say the sas accounts are implausible. special forces routinely search and restrain detainees. impossible. if the person was so negligent, you would be getting rid of the special forces guy, you would be saying "you allowed someone to grab a grenade behind the curtain, you don't deserve to be in the special forces, you could have got everybody killed." we looked at one sas tour and identified 5a suspicious killings injust six months.

the evidence suggests sas executions went on for three years. i think allegations of the kind that you're making are incredibly shocking, and if they are true, then they would make me deeply sad and also deeply angry. the ministry of defence said in a statement today... the main mod investigation into war crimes in afghanistan was 0peration northmoor, but senior investigators who were part of it have told us they were stopped from getting to the truth. we were hitting brick walls in every direction. i believe there was pressure from above to shut down

the investigation. it became increasingly clear it didn't matter what evidence we were able to gather, these cases were never going to be allowed to go to court. the ministry of defence says military police will consider any allegations, should new evidence come to light. some believe it is time to look again at the behaviour of sas death squads that arrived in the night. richard bilton, bbc news. i'm nowjoined by dr mike martin, who was a british army officer in afghanistan and is now a war studies fellow at kings college london. thank you forjoining us. first of all, if you could just give us a briefly a bit of background on what your role and experience in afghanistan entailed? i

your role and experience in afghanistan entailed? i was a olitical afghanistan entailed? i was a political officer. _ afghanistan entailed? i was a political officer. in _ afghanistan entailed? i was a political officer. in fact, - afghanistan entailed? i was a political officer. in fact, i- afghanistan entailed? i was a political officer. in fact, iwasj political officer. in fact, i was the first political officer in the british military, and myjob was to build relationships with tribal leaders and drugs laws, and all the rest of it, so that we could understand, we the british could understand, we the british could understand better afghan society. and what is your reaction to this evidence that has been uncovered? well, i never saw any illegal activity whilst i was in afghanistan, clearly, otherwise i would have reported it. however, i am not surprised when i read in detail the panorama allegations. the reason i'm not surprised is because uk special forces were incredibly cavalier in the way that they went about their business. they were very unprofessional. bud about their business. they were very unprofessional.— unprofessional. and in terms of, could you _ unprofessional. and in terms of, could you give — unprofessional. and in terms of, could you give us _ unprofessional. and in terms of, could you give us a _ unprofessional. and in terms of, could you give us a bit _ unprofessional. and in terms of, could you give us a bit more - unprofessional. and in terms of, i could you give us a bit more detail. you say you are not hugely surprised. can you give us a bit more context as to why? for example,

different special _ more context as to why? for example, different special forces _ more context as to why? for example, different special forces units _ more context as to why? for example, different special forces units would - different special forces units would compete with each other to see how many kills they could get on their tour. so obviously, it puts the impetus on killing people, rather than other solutions to problems. when you combine what really is a childish competition with very low levels of understanding, really, the british and americans had a poor understanding of what was going on in the villages, or in afghan society at large, and then you end “p society at large, and then you end up with a situation where the main thing for these special force units was going out on killing people, rather than, you know, selecting carefully who needs to be killed, who needs to be captured, who needs to be talked to. the kind of sophistication you need when you are fighting insurgents. so that's what i mean when i say that they were deeply unprofessional. the i mean when i say that they were deeply unprofessional.— i mean when i say that they were deeply unprofessional. the mod has said it is investigating _ deeply unprofessional. the mod has said it is investigating and _ deeply unprofessional. the mod has said it is investigating and they - said it is investigating and they have not found any cause for

than 100,000 hasjust can depart from heathrow. that will be capped per terminal. they will decide how many passengers can lead from each term. but they are anticipating 104,000 due to leave from these airports, so that will mean that there will be cancellations of flights. the other problem here is that the extra 4000, of that amount already 1500 of those tickets have been sold, so there will be people who will be looking to try to rearrange on two different flights. that will potentially be a problem for the airport and the airlines, given that there are only 100,000 passengers allowed and they are already over the capacity, so how will those flies be rearranged, and how these passengers find alternative ways of getting abroad? that is something that the airlines are considering at the moment. this comes after— are considering at the moment. this comes after so _ are considering at the moment. this comes after so much travel disruption, doesn't it? is there any idea or suggestion of when passengers might hear more clarity about this? we are around the corner from plans people may have made over

the summer holidays. at the moment we don't know which airlines are affected and which flights are affected and that hasn't been determined. heathrow airport said they will be speaking to the airports, this is being done to a regulator who is independent, who will sort out allocation, and heathrow have said that will be proportionate, but in terms of who exactly is being affected we don't know at this stage.— exactly is being affected we don't know at this stage. caroline davies, thanks forjoining _ know at this stage. caroline davies, thanks forjoining us. _ know at this stage. caroline davies, thanks forjoining us. something i thanks forjoining us. something that hasjust come thanks forjoining us. something that has just come through, virgin atlantic has responded to the passenger cap and a spokesperson for them it says they recognise the challenges heathrow faces serving customers and that it is imperative all players involved come together to make sure customerjourneys out of heathrow are smooth and seamless as possible. we will have more on that story this afternoon. now we can get the weather.

hello again. generally more clout in the sky and that will be thick enough to bring a view spots of rain. not amounting to much, and sunny weather returns to scotland and northern ireland with fresh conditions here, but it is still hot over the southeast with temperatures up over the southeast with temperatures up to 32 and just like last night, after such a hot day across london and south—east england, temperatures in the capital staying at around 26 at ten o'clock this evening, much more comfortable conditions in scotland for a night's sleep. tomorrow a few showers for scotland and northern ireland, hit and miss in nature, and england and wales dry with some hazy spells of sunshine, a range of temperatures but another one which will be hot in the southeast with highs reaching 30 foot up through sunday and monday we are watching for some extreme heat with the met office having issued an amber weather warning.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: priti patel has said that she will not stand as the tory party leadership candidate. the olympic star mo farah has revealed he was trafficked into the uk as a child and forced to work as a domestic servant. a bbc investigation has uncovered evidence that the sas executed detainees and murdered un—armed people in afghanistan. heathrow airport limits the number of passengers who can depart each day to reduce travel disruption. nasa's new telescope delivers its first full—colour image

showing light from galaxies that are billions of years old. sport now, and for a full round up from the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. england have made a disastrous start in the first one—day international at the oval against india. with just 18 overs played they have already lost eight wickets. jason roy, joe root and ben stokes have all gone for ducks. captainjos buttler did manage to hit 30 runs. england will be hoping to avoid their worst ever 0di total. there's live coverage on bbc radio 5 live sports extra. tiger woods has returned to the course where he claimed two of his three 0pen titles — and he says he's not ruling out another — citing tom watson as his inspiration, a player who was still challenging late

into his 50s. woods is 46, but has endured a host of injury problems over the last decade, mostly related to his back. he feared his career was over after a car crash last february when he sustained multiple leg fractures. he doesn't know how long he will be able to keep playing, but wanted to compete at least one more time at the championships. he's been grouped alongside us open champion matt fitzpatrick and max homa for the first two rounds. just lucky enough to be able to play as long as we are able to play in our sport, as long as we are able to play in oursport, into as long as we are able to play in our sport, into the 405, and especially on links courses like this, you can continue into your 505. tom watson was able to win in his 505 so it can be done. itjust takes a lot of knowledge and understanding how to play this type

of golf. northern ireland sprinter leon reid has been barred from competing at this year's commonwealth games in birmingham following a security risk assessment. the 2018 bronze medallist has a criminal conviction after being found guilty in february of allowing his flat to be used to produce crack cocaine. commonwealth games ni say it's disappointed and currently seeking clarity on any potential appeal. ireland avenged their defeat by the maori all blacks a fortnight ago with an impressive 30—24 win in wellington. despite a slippery ball that led to numerous handling errors, the teams served up an entertaining contest. jordan larmour touched down twice during the match, this his second which sealed the victory and what should be a morale boosting win before ireland's 5erie5 decider against the all blacks this weekend. novak djokovic is "throwing away opportunities" to win further grand slam5 due to his vaccination status. that's according to seven—time tennis major winnerjohn mcenroe.

djokovic won his 21st grand slam title at wimbledon at the weekend which put him one behind rafael nadal. the serbian has not had a covid—19 vaccination and a5 a result, as it stands, he won't be able to compete at the us open next month. mcenroe, who was speaking ahead of the release of a film about his life, was full of praise for the resiliance djokovic has shown. right now he can't go to the us. he's not going to be allowed to play australia right now. you are talking about a guy who is throwing away opportunities. talk about egg on your face, he gets thrown out of australia and then rafa wins it. i can't imagine he wasn't affected. he spoke about that for a few months. how could it not have an effect? it was difficult to probably train the same way. i think it caught up to him at the french where he lost to rafa.

i think he got tired. but he came through again. that shows you how tough he is because he is able to put that aside, in addition to the fact that a lot of the time, i think it's unfair, but he doesn't get the crowd support. and, horses whose jockeys seriously breach whip rules will be disqualified under new plans for british racing. if the rules had been in place earlier this year, grand national winner noble yeats would have been disqualified. rider sam waley—cohen was suspended for nine days and fined £400. the rules will apply to riders who use four or more strikes above the permitted threshold. let's return to our top story, the tory leadership race. we

we've got a lot of coins in there. it's happy holiday memories for the beddow family. there was so many types of pasta! but their euro camp trip this easter had a sting in the tail. the cost of eating out, and actuallyjust buying food in the supermarket, in holland, was so much more than we expected. itjust felt surprising and a little bit disappointing, i think, that it wasn't sort of as cheap as things used to be when you went on holiday. research for the bbc by travel comparison site ice lolly shows that average holiday prices have gone up, but so have all the extras. compared tojune 2019, single trip travel insurance is up 40%, to £52. average airport parking prices are up almost 30%, but it is car hire that has seen the biggest increase, with rates more than doubling, to £500 a week. many rental companies

sold their stock in the pandemic, and now there is a global shortage of new vehicles, so they can't get their hands on enough cars to meet the big demand this year. the pound has dropped in value, too, so we are getting a little less euros or dollars for our cash. just like at home, inflation is spiking across much of the world, and that means that the prices on the menus are increasing. at this cafe in benidorm, ashley is facing much higher costs, but trying desperately to keep his prices fixed. many of our plates of food we've not put the prices up, because after such a couple of difficult years in the tourism industry, we are a bit too worried to put them up and scare away potential customers we are hoping to gain, so instead we are taking the hit. karen writes a blog about travelling with children, and has lots of advice to try and keep costs down. i always look at booking my car hire

straightaway, i always look at booking my car parking at the airport straightaway. these costs only ever go up before the holiday, and they tend to be the things that people forget to do until just before. with so many disappointments over recent years, it is tempting to max out the credit card on holiday, but with rising costs once you get back home, keeping the reins on holiday spending will be more difficult but more important than ever this year. colletta smith, bbc news, in west kirby. joining me now is the travel writer francesca nand. thanks forjoining us. it is not welcome news for holiday—makers but probably not that surprising, given the industry is looking to claw back what was lost during the pandemic. not surprising all round, we have the fuel crisis and the cost of living and the cost of food and electricity, that affects everyone here but also affects people around

the world, so when we go on holiday. it doesn't seem very surprising, unfortunately, that this is going to affect our holidays and also there is a massive demand for holidays and then we have the flight cancellations meaning there are fewer flights so that will have an effect on prices as well. [30 fewer flights so that will have an effect on prices as well.- effect on prices as well. do you think we will _ effect on prices as well. do you think we will see _ effect on prices as well. do you think we will see a _ effect on prices as well. do you think we will see a suppression j effect on prices as well. do you i think we will see a suppression of demand as a result of the travel chaos and costs or do you think people are so ready to go away after a couple of years that they would just bite the bullet and go regardless of the cast and the chaos? it regardless of the cast and the chaos? . ., ., ._ chaos? it could go either way. sometimes — chaos? it could go either way. sometimes the _ chaos? it could go either way. sometimes the danger - chaos? it could go either way. sometimes the danger is - chaos? it could go either way. i sometimes the danger is digging chaos? it could go either way. - sometimes the danger is digging our own hole because we talk about the problems of this on the news and of course we should do, there is a problem, and a cancellation problem, but we have to remember 90% of flights are going ahead and that is something consumers should remember. while we are talking about the costs i had a look online to see what you can get holidays for and you can actually get some really amazing

last—minute deals, say, for the canary islands, for £350 per person self catering, so we talk about the problems, because there are these problems, because there are these problems, but actually it becomes almost a self—fulfilling prophecy because people say, i'm not travelling this year, it is too expensive, but actually when you think about it it is not that bad and in terms of costs, there are bargains to be had it so i would say if you have not booked a holiday yet for this summer, don't despair, there are still trips which you can have. . . there are still trips which you can have. , , ., . ., ., ., have. give us the advice on how to find a bargain. _ have. give us the advice on how to find a bargain. what _ have. give us the advice on how to find a bargain. what else - have. give us the advice on how to find a bargain. what else can - do to get away more affordably? i never hire a car. people were talking about car hire and that has doubled, and there are car shortages because they have sold them off during the pandemic, so look for places you can stay where you don't have to drive a car, rely on public transport because public transport in europe is amazing and very cheap.

train travel is very cheap and also the last minute deals i spoke about, i had a look from the first to the 10th of august in malta and the canary islands and spain and france, there are bargains, from £350 per person, that was for self catering but you can self cater for yourself quite cheaply, and also sometimes it is actually a lot cheaper to eat out in europe and to go to tapas and also ice creams and children's activities compared to here so you might end up saving money if you go abroad on a cheap holiday that you would actually save here. good abroad on a cheap holiday that you would actually save here.— would actually save here. good to talk to you. _ would actually save here. good to talk to you, lisa. _ would actually save here. good to talk to you, lisa. thanks - would actually save here. good to talk to you, lisa. thanks for - talk to you, lisa. thanks for joining us. it's the deepest, most detailed view of the universe we've ever seen and contains light from galaxies that has taken many billions of years to reach ours. this is the first image released by nasa from the world's most advanced telescope — the james webb space telescope — which was launched into space last year. the pictures show some

galaxies that date back more than 13 billion years, close to the dawn of time. our science editor rebecca morelle reports. a deeper view of our universe than we've ever seen before. this is the first full colour image from the james webb space telescope, and it is teeming with galaxies. some are from just a few hundred million years after the big bang. we are seeing light that has journeyed for over 13 billion years to reach us. it is almost like a time machine. you're looking back into the far distant past, and so we can begin to answer those questions such as how did the first galaxies and stars form? the hope with this telescope is we see sort of almost in real time, as it were, a history of the universe, playing it out. and lift off!

the telescope blasted off last year, on christmas day. the start of a new era of exploration. james webb is a collaboration between the american, european and canadian space agencies, and over the last six months it has been getting ready for its mission. the james webb space telescope is an engineering marvel. at its core is a 6.5 metre wide mirror, made up of 18 hexagonal segments. each perfectly aligned to act as a single surface. it also has a sun shield the size of a tennis court to protect it from the heat and light of the sun. the telescope will look back further in time than ever before, showing us the light from the very first stars to shine. we will also be able to see how they came together to form the earliest galaxies, and it will study other planetary systems, revealing whether life could exist beyond our world. so having seen these very first images, we already are getting a hit of what this telescope

is going to do for astronomy. i do truly believe what we learn from this awesome new telescope is going to change the way we understand the universe in really fundamental ways. this picture is from the hubble space telescope. until now, this has given us our best view of the cosmos. but here's the same image taken byjames webb. it is 100 times more powerful, and the difference is clear to see, revealing more galaxy than stars in far greater detail. but this is just the start. more images will be released in the coming hours. our understanding of the universe and our place in it is about to be transformed. rebecca morelle, bbc news. joining me now is drjenifer millard, astronomer. thanks forjoining us. what an amazing job title. you are the perfect person to give a bit of insight. in the report we heard about how this is going to change

discover our origins story. it is so exciting. ibrute discover our origins story. it is so excitina. ~ ., , discover our origins story. it is so excitin.. . ., , ., , exciting. we saw the images released b nasa, exciting. we saw the images released by nasa. how — exciting. we saw the images released by nasa. how did _ exciting. we saw the images released by nasa, how did you _ exciting. we saw the images released by nasa, how did you react _ exciting. we saw the images released by nasa, how did you react when - exciting. we saw the images released by nasa, how did you react when you | by nasa, how did you react when you first saw that?— first saw that? honestly, it took my breath away. _ first saw that? honestly, it took my breath away. i— first saw that? honestly, it took my breath away, i could _ first saw that? honestly, it took my breath away, i could not _ first saw that? honestly, it took my breath away, i could not believe - first saw that? honestly, it took my| breath away, i could not believe the level of detail that is in this new image. you have to remember that hubble comparable image took days, about ten days to capture and james webb has done this in about 12 and a half hours, so it boggles the mind about what this telescope is going to discover when it does stare at patches of sky for weeks on end, just the clarity and the sensitivity, it isjust just the clarity and the sensitivity, it is just beyond what we could have imagined, really. the most exciting things in this image are not those bright stars and the lines coming out, but it is the tiny faint blobs that are just peering out from the background, because those are the most distant galaxies and the early ones, the ones we are

really interested in. there are thousands in this image and this patch of sky is the equivalent to a grain of sand on the tip of your finger held at arms length, if you imagine that, and there are thousands of galaxies in there. it is amazing. thousands of galaxies in there. it is amazing-— is amazing. you paint a vivid icture is amazing. you paint a vivid picture of — is amazing. you paint a vivid picture of what _ is amazing. you paint a vivid picture of what those - is amazing. you paint a vivid | picture of what those images is amazing. you paint a vivid - picture of what those images are and what they can tell us but in lehmans terms, how does this manage to be so much more powerful than the hubble telescope? the much more powerfulthan the hubble telesco e? . much more powerfulthan the hubble telesco e? , ' . , telescope? the big difference is the size of its mirror— telescope? the big difference is the size of its mirror so _ telescope? the big difference is the size of its mirror so it _ telescope? the big difference is the size of its mirror so it has _ telescope? the big difference is the size of its mirror so it has a - telescope? the big difference is the size of its mirror so it has a much i size of its mirror so it has a much bigger mirror, hubble is about 2.4 metres across butjames bigger mirror, hubble is about 2.4 metres across but james wade is bigger mirror, hubble is about 2.4 metres across butjames wade is 6.5 metres across butjames wade is 6.5 metres and that gives you a bigger light bucket —— james webb. you can see faint objects and it observes in a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum so this telescope is an infrared telescope and it is studying the heat of the cosmos and that is because we live in a strange universe which is

expanding and light from a distant universe is no longer visible to us with the light we can detect with our eyes and it is actually being stretched along with that expansion of the universe as it comes towards us and so it has gone deep into the infrared beyond what we can see and beyond what hubble can see, and exactly what the james webb telescope can see, so it's about having a much bigger mirror and looking at a different part of the invisible universe.— looking at a different part of the invisible universe. jennifer, thank ou for invisible universe. jennifer, thank you for explaining _ invisible universe. jennifer, thank you for explaining that _ invisible universe. jennifer, thank you for explaining that so - invisible universe. jennifer, thank you for explaining that so clearly. j you for explaining that so clearly. jennifer has the incredible job title of extragalactic is strong —— extragalactic astronomer! we will have more images of the kosmos at 330, we will bring you those live, but 110w now we have got the weather forecast.

hello, there. a mixture of weather to take us into this afternoon, but across parts of south—east england it is another hot day with temperatures into the 305. similar temperatures tomorrow, but it is sunday and early next week that we see the temperatures for some pushing into the mid to high 305, so some exceptional heat on the way. this afternoon there is more cloud around and it is thick enough bring the odd spots of rain for the midlands, the pennines. we have fresher air for scotland and northern ireland with sunshine returning in the afternoon. just like last night, for those of you who live in the south—east of england, london in particular, it will be a warm night for sleeping, 26 degrees at ten o'clock tonight. more comfortable conditions for scotland and northern ireland. tomorrow for scotland and northern ireland. there will be a f for tomorrow there will be a few showers for scotland and northern ireland. a range of temperatures but another hot one in the south—east with it reaching the 32 degrees mark again in the south—east. sunday and monday is what we are looking for with the amber weather warning issued by the met office.

i'm annita mcveigh in westminster, where the race for the conservative leadership is hotting up. the headlines at 2pm... former chancellor rishi sunak launches his bid to be conservative leader and prime minister, saying it's not credible to promise tax cuts now. we need a return to traditional conservative economic values, and that means honesty and responsibility, not fairy tales. and as grant shapps pulls out and priti patel says she won't stand, the ten remaining candidates in the race have until 6pm this evening to secure the backing of at least 20 of their colleagues. and with the rest of the day's

news... most people know me as mo farah, but it's not my name. it's not the reality. the olympic star mo farah has revealed he was trafficked into the uk as a child and forced to work as a domestic servant. a bbc investigation has uncovered evidence that the sas executed detainees and murdered un—armed people in afghanistan. heathrow airport limits the number of passengers who can depart each day to reduce travel disruption. images from nasa's new telescope show light from galaxies that are billions of years old — with further releases expected this hour. good afternoon. it's been another busy

day at westminster — with several conservative mps launching bids to be the next leader of the party and country's new prime minister. rishi sunak, tom tugenhadt and kemi badenoch have all been making their case, while the home secretary priti patel has ruled herself out of the running. let's go to my colleague annita mcveigh, who's in westminster with the latest. thanks very much, welcome back to westminster. another day of intense activity, we've had those campaign camp the micro slogans, behind—the—scenes they've been canvassing to make sure they can get the 20 mp5 to back them so they can go forward to the first round of the vote to become the conservative leader and the prime minister. in a speech to mark the official launch of his campaign to become leader.

rishi sunak has said it's "not credible" to promise lots more spending and lower taxes. conservative mps have until the end of the day to win the support of at least 20 colleagues allowing them them to officiallyjoin the contest to be the next conservative leader. tomorrow, the first round of voting will take place among conservative mps. candidates with fewer than 30 votes must withdraw. further rounds of voting will whittle the number down to two finalists before the end of next week — with a deadline on thursday, 21 july. soa so a pretty speedy process in this first stage of the voting. party members will then vote for who they want to be the next leader — last time, 160,000 were eligible to take part. the result will be announced on fifth september. —— the -- the 5th —— the 5th of september. our politcal correspondent helen catt reports. not one, not two, but three campaign launches this morning as nominations formally open in the conservative leadership contest. already assured of his place,

rishi sunak, keen to paint himself as the financially responsible candidate at his launch this morning. my message to the party and the country is simple, i have a plan to steer our economy through these headwinds. we need a return to traditional conservative economic values. and that means honesty and responsibility, not fairy tales. looking on, the transport secretary, grant shapps, who announced he had dropped out of the race to back rishi sunak. at the same time, the chair of the foreign affairs select committee was launching his bid. we need leadership with a renewed sense of mission. leadership that sees beyond divisive politics and delivers results. leadership that will return government to the service of our economy, our people,

and our country. elsewhere, the former equalities minister set out her pitch. throughout my life, there have been people who said you can't, you shouldn't, this is not for you — and in politics many people who said you're in the wrong party, you are saying the wrong things, you can't do that. but i'm not the sort of person you can sideline or silence. she is one of several candidates competing for votes of the party's right wing, along with the attorney general suella braverman and also liz truss. she picked up a couple of big endorsements this morning, shoring up the remaining brexit credentials. liz truss is the best candidate. that is what we are working for. she is a proper eurosceptic, she will deliver for the voters and she believes in low taxation. and she's a woman. home secretary priti patel has now confirmed she will not be running. some worry that the right—wing votes will end up being split between too many candidates. labour's shadow cabinet, meeting in high wycombe, is concerned about what is happening

while this is going on. it is planning to call a vote of no—confidence in the government tomorrow. finally, the tory party concluded that borisjohnson was unfit to be prime minister — and that was blindingly obvious a very long time ago. but having come to that conclusion, they can't now expect the country to allow him to cling on for weeks on end. the reason there had been three launches happening at exactly the same time this morning in westminster is because this contest is happening pretty quickly. candidates have only got until 6pm today to get the backing of 20 conservative mps to enter the race at all, and by the round of voting tomorrow, they will need 30 to stay in. which means they will need to take every chance to schmooze their colleagues, like this eveng last night, as the party is trying to whittle down the field to just two by next week. helen catt, bbc news, westminster.

he said he blames borisjohnson for blaming... igrate he said he blames boris johnson for blaminu...~ ., ,, he said he blames boris johnson for blaminu...~ he said he blames boris johnson for blaminm. ., blaming... we take democracy for ranted, blaming... we take democracy for granted. and _ blaming... we take democracy for granted, and we _ blaming... we take democracy for granted, and we shouldn't. - blaming. .. we take democracy for granted, and we shouldn't. if- blaming... we take democracy for granted, and we shouldn't. if you | granted, and we shouldn't. if you look around the world, you'll find it's in retreat in many countries and has been for 10—15 years for more, and that looks like it will continue. the point is this — democracy is not inevitable. it can be undone step—by—step, action by action, falsehood by falsehood. it needs to be protected at all times. and it seems to me if our law and accepted conventions are ignored, then we are on a very slippery slope that ends with pulling our constitution into shreds. what has been done in the last three years has damaged our country at home and overseas, and i think has damaged the reputation of parliament, as

well. the blame must lie principally, but not only with the prime minister. many in his cabinet are culpable too, and some of those outside of the cabinet who cheered him on. they were silent when they should spoken out, and then spoke out only when their silence became self damaging. all of this can be corrected, and the task for parliament, governmentand corrected, and the task for parliament, government and this committee will be to restore constitutional standards and protect from any further slippage against it. sir from any further slippage against it. ,, . ., from any further slippage against it. ,, .~. ., from any further slippage against it. sirjohn ma'or, really interesting _ it. sirjohn ma'or, really interesting to h it. sirjohn major, really interesting to hear- it. sirjohn major, really interesting to hear whatj it. sirjohn major, really i interesting to hear what he it. sirjohn major, really - interesting to hear what he had to say. our political correspondent iain watson is here. john major saying those who are now standing as candidates to be the next conservative leader, he says they are culpable for damaging the uk at home and abroad. he said they kept silent when they should have spoken up, and they spoke out when

their own position was affected. so where are we in this race right now with many of those candidates still in the running?— in the running? certainly it is the case that some _ in the running? certainly it is the case that some people _ in the running? certainly it is the case that some people who - in the running? certainly it is the case that some people who were j in the running? certainly it is the - case that some people who were not directly involved in borisjohnson's ——cabinet—— would see that as an advantage. tom tugenhadt launching his cabinet to "a clean start" — that distance you would see as a potential advantage. sajid javid was asked about this, he said he had thought about leaving sooner than he did, but he didn't see anyone else leaving before him. that's true, he was resigning nine minutes before rishi sunak. it is interesting that somebody long associated with boris johnson now saying he frequently disagreed with him, and none other than rishi sunak is getting the most support so farfrom

than rishi sunak is getting the most support so far from mps. so than rishi sunak is getting the most support so farfrom mps. so his closeness to the borisjohnson administration has not particularly damaged him as much as some of his colleagues. the question is, if he gets into the final too, you can put a lot of stone and personal surveys... a lot of stone and personal surveys- - -_ a lot of stone and personal surveys... a lot of stone and personal surve s... ., ., , , surveys... what does history tell us? history _ surveys. .. what does history tell us? history is— surveys... what does history tell us? history is quite _ surveys... what does history tell us? history is quite interesting l us? history is quite interesting because many _ us? history is quite interesting because many years _ us? history is quite interesting because many years ago, - us? history is quite interesting because many years ago, we l us? history is quite interesting i because many years ago, we saw people such as ken clark ended up backing iain duncan smith. so you can't simply say that the people and there will be able to dictate to conservative party members what happens. what was also interesting, tom tugenhadt made a point in his speech, he was almost suspecting some sort of steps up at westminster between whoever became the top to,

saying we must now go to members who have until the 5th of september to choose between the final two. just as an aside. _ choose between the final two. just as an aside, the members seem to have been saying they don't want a situation that they saw with theresa may and andrea leadsom where you get down to the final two, and one of them withdraws from the contest and your lead with a fate accomplish. there's a lot of animosity around, a big push to stop rishi sunak, a big push to stop liz truss, she was endorsed byjacob rees—mogg and nadine dories. that might help with members who feel borisjohnson was unfairly dealt with, equally that might alienate some parliamentary colleagues to make a clean break with that past.— colleagues to make a clean break with that past. briefly, what impact do ou with that past. briefly, what impact do you think _ with that past. briefly, what impact do you think grant _ with that past. briefly, what impact do you think grant shapps - with that past. briefly, what impact

do you think grant shapps stepping j do you think grant shapps stepping out of the contest will have, what impact will priti patel deciding not to stand for the contest have? significant for both of them. priti patel, first of all, the right of the party, the long—standing euro sceptics, brexiteers, their votes will be split amongst a number of candidates. there's more chance of those candidates going ahead to the first round because of the 20 mp5 to get onto the ballot, as opposed to 30 to get through the first round — if she stood and others hadn't withdrawn, then that may have made it much more difficult for those who have a long brexit pedigree to do particularly well. grant shapps is significant, he was one of the first mps to call for theresa may to go. in borisjohnson's campaign, he was known as the spreadsheet, crunching the numbers to get borisjohnson through to that final stage, defecting to rishi sunak, giving a

big boost for rishi sunak when it comes to trying to clear the parliamentary stages before the membership. parliamentary stages before the membership-— parliamentary stages before the membershi. ., ., i, , membership. good to get urinalysis. in three membership. good to get urinalysis. in three hours' _ membership. good to get urinalysis. in three hours' time, _ membership. good to get urinalysis. in three hours' time, we _ membership. good to get urinalysis. in three hours' time, we should - membership. good to get urinalysis. | in three hours' time, we should know who has the 20 plus votes, whose into the first round tomorrow to get the further support of mps. remember if they get through to that first round of voting, they will need to get at least 30 votes to stay in the contest. we will have more details on that for you throughout the afternoon. right now, back to you. anita, thank you. sir mo farah has revealed he was trafficked into the uk as a child and forced to work as a domestic servant. the four—time olympic champion told the bbc he was born hussein abdi kahin, but was given the name mohamed farah by those who flew him from east africa with fake documents. he previously said he came to the uk from somalia with his parents as a refugee. our community affairs correspondent,

adina campbell has the story. one of the defining moments of the london 2012 olympics. sir mo farah on super saturday. taking gold in the 10,000 metres, part of a record—breaking career cementing his place in the history books. but life could have turned out to be very different — and we now know he's not who we think he is. most people know me as mo farah, but it's not my name or it's not the reality. the real story is i was born in somali land, north of somalia as hussein abdi kahin. in a new documentary, he also reveals he was a child slave, trafficked to the uk at the age of nine and forced to work for a family in west london. myjob was to look after those kids, shower them, cook for them, clean for them.

and she said, "if you ever want to see you family again, don't say anything. if you say anything, they will take you away." often i would lock myself in the bathroom and cry, and nobody�*s there to help. after a while, ijust learned not to have that emotion. despite what was happening behind closed doors, mo farah was a cut above the rest during his teenage years, and it was a conversation with his pe teacher who helped him escape from the abuse at home. years later, the documentary captures the moment he is reunited with his mum, who he thought had died. my mum's name is aisha. i will neverforget my mum, on that tape.

so the tape, it had a number on it, like to say call, on the back of it, this is the number. then it said if this is a bother, or causing you trouble, don't, just leave it, you don't have to contact me. and i'm going, "of course i'm going to contact you." at that point, that's when i first called my mum. sir mo farah says he's made this documentary to tell the world what really happened in his childhood, and to shed light on the serious issue of modern slavery, to show people greatness can be achieved even after monumental trauma. earlier i spoke tojessica turner from the charity — anti—slavery who is grateful

to sir mo farah for sharing his story. such an incredible story, and it's so brave of sir mo farah to share his story like this. there is so much courage that it takes for anyone to expose human trafficking, but particularly in the context today, it's incredibly brave of sir mo farah to come forward in share his story. mo farah to come forward in share his sto . ., . .,, , ., his story. how much has he helped to humanise the — his story. how much has he helped to humanise the issue _ his story. how much has he helped to humanise the issue of— his story. how much has he helped to humanise the issue of trafficking? - humanise the issue of trafficking? because often unfortunately, it's seen as a bit of a faceless and abstract issue, perhaps. bud seen as a bit of a faceless and abstract issue, perhaps. and this is abstract issue, perhaps. and this is a really important _ abstract issue, perhaps. and this is a really important point. _ abstract issue, perhaps. and this is a really important point. to - abstract issue, perhaps. and this is a really important point. to answerj a really important point. to answer that question, we need to see over the coming days and weeks, and coming years as the story will be really important to help people understand the human side of it. human trafficking and modern slavery is truly a human story. so often we get caught up in the system, and the system is incredibly important to understand and protect people. but we also have to remember that it is

individuals who are impacted by modern slavery, and it is so important that sir mo farah has had the courage to come forward and really put a human face on the suffering of modern slavery. stand really put a human face on the suffering of modern slavery. and in his case, suffering of modern slavery. and in his case. it — suffering of modern slavery. and in his case, it was _ suffering of modern slavery. and in his case, it was a _ suffering of modern slavery. and in his case, it was a woman _ suffering of modern slavery. and in his case, it was a woman he - suffering of modern slavery. and in his case, it was a woman he didn'tl his case, it was a woman he didn't know who took him on a plane with fake documents — this was a course backin fake documents — this was a course back in the 19905 when he was younger — what form does it more commonly taken the modern day? there are multile commonly taken the modern day? there are multiple forms _ commonly taken the modern day? there are multiple forms of _ commonly taken the modern day? tues are multiple forms of modern slavery, and the really important thing here is that in 2015, the uk introduced to the modern slavery act. underthe introduced to the modern slavery act. under the modern slavery act, human trafficking, including child trafficking, domestic servitude and forced labour are all considered unsavoury. there are many other forms are unsavoury as well. human trafficking still occurs today, but after the instruction of the modern slavery act in 2015, we should have the mechanisms to protect people so they can come forward at the time

not only to disclose what has happened to them, but seek protection when they do put themselves forward. stand protection when they do put themselves forward. and it's incredibly — themselves forward. and it's incredibly difficult _ themselves forward. and it's incredibly difficult to - themselves forward. and it's incredibly difficult to get - themselves forward. and it's incredibly difficult to get a i themselves forward. and it's l incredibly difficult to get a true sense of the numbers, isn't it, but how prevalent does trafficking seem to be from what we can gather? and what are some of the signs people can look out for if they want to alert someone to this? it is very difficult to know _ alert someone to this? it is very difficult to know the _ alert someone to this? it is very difficult to know the true - alert someone to this? it is very i difficult to know the true numbers, as you say. the home office documents the numbers — so from 20 to anyone, from the end of year statistics, the home office documented nearly 13,000 confirmed cases of modern slavery in the uk —— so from 2021. other estimates from ngos go as high as 130,000. so there's a massive scale here we're talking about, and that data isn't really known. i think the important thing here is it's a very difficult thing here is it's a very difficult thing to come forward, firstly to know you've been a victim of trafficking, than to take the courage to come forward and say what has happened to you when you don't know what that'll mean for future.

so while we do know some of the numbers, we don't know the full scale, and it's really important to know that the human suffering behind those suffering, no matter how big, one person suffering is too many. and you can see the real mo farah on bbc one at 9pm tomorrow night and on the bbc iplayer. a bbc investigation has uncovered evidence that members of the british sas executed detainees and murdered unarmed people in afghanistan. panorama has discovered that one unit killed 54 people in suspicious circumstances, that senior officers failed to report the alleged murders and they didn't disclose evidence to the military police. the mod says it will always hold uk troops to the highest standards and that they served with courage and professionalism in afghanistan. richard bilton reports. special forces were out most nights.

in the winter of 2010, the sas were hunting the taliban. but we have found some uk units were out of control. the sas came here, a village in central helmand, through a hole into the wall and into a building. in central helmand, through a hole people here say that everybody in the house was brought into the courtyard and the special forces troops bound all the men's hands. and then, one man was taken back inside and killed. haji ibrahim was a former district governor. a un investigation found he was not a threat, but an unarmed civilian. translation: his hands were tied at the front. i

he had been killed. they had shot him in the corner of his eye, and later they had fired a shot at my father's chest. the suspicious killing was far from a one—off. panorama obtained military reports that show people were repeatedly shot dead after surrendering to the sas. in report after report, special forces claimed they sent a detainee back into the building to help with the search. the detainee was then shot, after supposedly grabbing a weapon. military insiders say the sas accounts are implausible. special forces routinely search and restrain detainees. impossible. if the person was so negligent, you would be getting rid of the special forces guy, you would be saying "you allowed someone to grab a grenade behind the curtain, you don't deserve to be in the special forces, you could

have got everybody killed." we looked at one sas tour and identified 54 suspicious killings injust six months. the evidence suggests sas executions went on for three years. i think allegations of the kind that you're making are incredibly shocking, and if they are true, then they would make me deeply sad and also deeply angry. the ministry of defence said in a statement today... the main mod investigation into war crimes in afghanistan was operation northmoor, but senior investigators who were part of it have told us they were stopped from getting to the truth.

we were hitting brick walls in every direction. i believe there was pressure from above to shut down the investigation. it became increasingly clear it didn't matter what evidence we were able to gather, these cases were never going to be allowed to go to court. the ministry of defence says military police will consider any allegations, should new evidence come to light. some believe it is time to look again at the behaviour of sas death squads that arrived in the night. richard bilton, bbc news. and panorama: sas death squads exposed: a british war crime? is on bbc one at 9pm tonight. heathrow airport says it has introduced a cap on passenger numbers this summer as the aviation sector struggles to cope with demand.

no more than 100,000 passengers each day will be able to depart from heathrow until early september. the airport says it's ordered airlines to stop selling summer tickets to limit the impact on passengers. i asked our business correspondent caroline davies for more details on this announcement. as you say, there's100,000 departure cap, meaning no more passengers at 100,000 are able to depart from heathrow. that will be capped per terminal, they'll decide how many passengers can leave from each terminal. the problem is they are anticipating 104,000 already will be due till be able to leave from this airport— that will mean there'll be cancellations of flights. the other problem is that extra 4000, of that amount already, 1500 of those tickets have already been sold. so there will be people who will be looking to try to be rearranging different flights. that will potentially be a problem for the airport in the airlines, given

their only 100,000 passengers allowed, they are already over that capacity — how will passengers be able to find alternative measures and being able to get a broad? that is something the airlines are still weighing up and considering at the moment. this weighing up and considering at the moment. , .., , ., weighing up and considering at the moment. , , ., . moment. this comes after so much travel disruption, _ moment. this comes after so much travel disruption, and _ moment. this comes after so much travel disruption, and is _ moment. this comes after so much travel disruption, and is there - moment. this comes after so much travel disruption, and is there any l travel disruption, and is there any idea or suggestion of when passengers might hear more clarity about this? because we are around the corner from plans about this? because we are around the cornerfrom plans people made over their summer holidays? {th over their summer holidays? of course, that's the main thing people want to know, i will go is my flight affected?" we don't know which airlines or flights are affected, that hasn't been determined yet. either airport has said they will be speaking to the airports, it's all being done through a regulator who is independent, who will sort out an allocation. heathrow have said that will be proportionate, but in terms of who exactly is being affected, we don't know at this stage.— don't know at this stage. caroline davies there. _ soaring temperatures are continuing across many parts of the uk — with the met office issuing

a weather warning for extreme heat across parts of the england and wales this weekend. in some places, temperatures could reach higher than 35 celsius. our correspondentjon donnison has been finding out how people are coping with the heat. another lazy, hazy day for seeking out the shade. temperatures again 30 celsius and four has to get even. i can't believe i'm saying it could be in the 405, that must be a record. just mental weather. you sweat a lot, i must admit, just take on plenty of deodorant, that's what you got to do. i’m plenty of deodorant, that's what you cotto do. �* ., ., , ., got to do. i'm originally from the caribbean so _ got to do. i'm originally from the caribbean so i'm _ got to do. i'm originally from the caribbean so i'm used _ got to do. i'm originally from the caribbean so i'm used to - got to do. i'm originally from the caribbean so i'm used to the - got to do. i'm originally from the i caribbean so i'm used to the heat, so i caribbean so i'm used to the heat, so i never— caribbean so i'm used to the heat, so i never really complain about it. so when _ so i never really complain about it. so when it's— so i never really complain about it. so when it's really hot here, it just reminds me of back home, to be honest _ just reminds me of back home, to be honest. �* . . just reminds me of back home, to be honest. �* , , ., ., honest. and this is no longer unusual- _ honest. and this is no longer unusual. every _ honest. and this is no longer unusual. every year - honest. and this is no longer unusual. every year for - honest. and this is no longer unusual. every year for the l honest. and this is no longer i unusual. every year for the last honest. and this is no longer - unusual. every year for the last ten years, the eight debacle uk has had days where it's been over 32 celsius. so we could have another

year where we see records broken — the hottest temperature ever recorded in the uk was in 2019, 30 8.7 celsius in cambridge. but forecasters are saying the next few days could see the most sustained heat wave for more than 50 years, with temperatures even pushing 40 celsius. in london's hyde park, people have been doing what they can to keep cool. and while many have been enjoying the sunshine, doctors are warning to look out for signs of dehydration and heat exhaustion. heat exhaustion causes 2000 excess deaths each year. so when we get these alerts, we want people to modify their behaviour so they look out for each other, for the most vulnerable which includes both young people and older people. the vulnerable which includes both young people and older people.— people and older people. the hot weather has _ people and older people. the hot weather has been _ people and older people. the hot weather has been pushing - people and older people. the hot weather has been pushing up - people and older people. the hotl weather has been pushing up from southern europe, and many countries on the continent have had it far worse. in spain and portugal, the extreme heat has led to wildfires.

there, temperatures above 40 celsius have already been recorded. and france, germany and italy are all expected to hit similar highs over the weekend. and here in the uk and around the world, climate scientists have been warning for years that all of this will become the new normal. john donaldson, bbc news. were going to take you to the green belt, and maryland, because nasa will release the james webb space telescope's first full—color images and spectroscopic data from nasa's goddard space flight centre. the images we show you are the first images we show you are the first images that have been released. that was the clearest view of distant galaxies and light from 13 billion years ago. the james webb space telescope is the world's largest and most powerful, and can demonstrate

its full power as it begins its mission to unfold the infrared universe. so we'll be taking you to the pictures live there in a moment. there is a bit of a countdown that will take place where they unveil new telescopic pictures of the distant cosmos. i think this is about to be there countdown now, so we will go live to maryland. this let's go live now to greenbelt, maryland. this is the day we get the first signs images back in the james webb telescope and you have a front row seat —— these are the first images back from the james webb telescope. light from the earliest date of the universe has been travelling to us for billions of years and just over the last few weeks we have captured

some of that light with a telescope that sees the universe in an entirely new way. we now share the results. long—time space fans will note this is the senior project scientist for the james webb telescope and i could not be happier to be here with you today. it is telescope and i could not be happier to be here with you today.— to be here with you today. it is a thrill to be _ to be here with you today. it is a thrill to be here _ to be here with you today. it is a thrill to be here for _ to be here with you today. it is a thrill to be here for this - to be here with you today. it is a thrill to be here for this very - thrill to be here for this very special— thrill to be here for this very special day. i'm thrilled and relieved _ special day. i'm thrilled and relieved because when you start something this big you know there is always— something this big you know there is always the _ something this big you know there is always the possibility that it might not work — always the possibility that it might not work. it did work. we are so proud _ not work. it did work. we are so roud. ., ., , ., ., , ., . proud. you have been on a pro'ect for a ve proud. you have been on a pro'ect fora very tong �* proud. you have been on a pro'ect for a very long time? i proud. you have been on a pro'ect for a very long time? i i proud. you have been on a pro'ect for a very long time? i startedh proud. you have been on a project for a very long time? i started in l for a very long time? i started in 1995 and we _ for a very long time? i started in 1995 and we had _ for a very long time? i started in 1995 and we had just _ for a very long time? i started in 1995 and we had just finished - 1995 and we had just finished measuring the big bang which we did with and _ measuring the big bang which we did with and explore a satellite that we built here _ with and explore a satellite that we built here and we measured the spectrum — built here and we measured the spectrum and the hot spots in the bil spectrum and the hot spots in the big bang — spectrum and the hot spots in the big bang and we said, now we know how it _ big bang and we said, now we know how it got _ big bang and we said, now we know how it got started, but what happened after that? i got a call from _ happened after that? i got a call from nasa headquarters, would i like to work— from nasa headquarters, would i like to work on— from nasa headquarters, would i like to work on this new telescope that will help— to work on this new telescope that will help answer these questions,

into space and it is the project of thousands of people working over two decades, a mission that is focused on the biggest questions in science. the following phrase is often used but today does mark the dawn of a new era. the mission is open for scientific business and this is just the beginning, the best is yet to come. what other things you told —— one of the things you tell me about other people you wanted to thank you, who put a lot of effort into this. �* . .. . you, who put a lot of effort into this. �* . ~ , , ., . this. bill oakes, the pro'ect manager. i this. bill oakes, the pro'ect manager. he i this. bill oakes, the pro'ect manager, he took�* this. bill oakes, the pro'ect manager, he took the h this. bill oakes, the project. manager, he took the project this. bill oakes, the project- manager, he took the project from a time of— manager, he took the project from a time of trouble where we did not know— time of trouble where we did not know how— time of trouble where we did not know how we were going to get this to work. _ know how we were going to get this to work, and he got it all the way to work, and he got it all the way to the _ to work, and he got it all the way to the end — to work, and he got it all the way to the end and now it is working and it was— to the end and now it is working and it was because he made this worldwide team, 20,000 people around the world. _ worldwide team, 20,000 people around the world, involved in making this thing _ the world, involved in making this thing work— the world, involved in making this thing work and he has been making sure it _ thing work and he has been making sure it would happen. another special— sure it would happen. another special person is senator barbara who saved — special person is senator barbara who saved the telescope and she made

yes, there they are. a lot of people i recognise. it is very important to you to be met great me personally that universe belongs to everyone and we are thrilled to share the day with fans everywhere around the world —— it is very important to me personally. what you will see over the next hour it is a collection of images newly processed by the webb science team and only a handful of experts have seen the images so far and i can tell you that we have been so excited to reveal them to everyone and we will reveal each image intern and it will be available for download on the internet after —— in turn. they will be a timeline which will show what is coming up next and after the end of the show all five images will be available. i'm excited. let's do

this. dramatic music we are going to release the first image right here in maryland and we arejust outside image right here in maryland and we are just outside washington, dc. the observatory portion of the telescope that the science instrument were integrated and tested here before launch so for many including myself to see this coming together in front of our eyes was an emotional and very inspiring experience. it is like a part of us was out there with webb and 1 million miles away part of the hopes and dreams are out there. i'mjoined byjane rigby, of the hopes and dreams are out there. i'm joined byjane rigby, the project scientist and she is a familiar face project scientist and she is a familiarface for project scientist and she is a familiar face for people who have followed this before so welcome along. followed this before so welcome alonu. ., followed this before so welcome along-- you _ followed this before so welcome along-- you get _ followed this before so welcome along.- you get the - followed this before so welcome along. hello. you get the honour of revealin: along. hello. you get the honour of revealing the _ along. hello. you get the honour of

long journey to become real with the development of new technologies, cutting—edge engineering and finally fabrication putting it all together. let's have a look back at the visionaryjourney let's have a look back at the visionary journey to let's have a look back at the visionaryjourney to how let's have a look back at the visionary journey to how we all let's have a look back at the visionaryjourney to how we all got here today. visionary journey to how we all got here today-— here today. today was the final close-out _ here today. today was the final close-out of — here today. today was the final close-out of the. .. _ here today. today was the final close-out of the. .. very - here today. today was the final. close-out of the. .. very emotional close—out of the... very emotional moment — close-out of the. .. very emotional moment. . , . close-out of the. .. very emotional moment. , , , ., , moment. guys, i can hear rupert. knowin: moment. guys, i can hear rupert. knowing you — moment. guys, i can hear rupert. knowing you were _ moment. guys, i can hear rupert. knowing you were the _ moment. guys, i can hear rupert. knowing you were the last - moment. guys, i can hear rupert. knowing you were the last one - moment. guys, i can hear rupert. knowing you were the last one to l knowing you were the last one to touch _ knowing you were the last one to touch this — knowing you were the last one to touch this. that was the final operation. once that is closed down, no more _ operation. once that is closed down, no more touching, we are ready to launch _ the james webb space telescope. born from the desires of astronomers.

the telescope you already have, so every time nasa builds a new astrophysics mission, a new telescope, it needs to be way more sensitive and way more capable than anything we have ever built before. we got together in the conference room _ we got together in the conference room and — we got together in the conference room and we played real time as the images _ room and we played real time as the images came down from the spacecraft the very— images came down from the spacecraft the very first images ever obtained with webb and what we saw as a group was the _ with webb and what we saw as a group was the highest resolution infrared image _ was the highest resolution infrared image taken from space ever. if you are 'ust image taken from space ever. if you are just joining _ image taken from space ever. if you are just joining us _ image taken from space ever. if you are just joining us i'm _ image taken from space ever. if you are just joining us i'm michelle - image taken from space ever. if m. are justjoining us i'm michelle and arejustjoining us i'm michelle and you are watching live coverage of the release of the first science images from the james webb telescope, so it is appropriate i sent the broadcast to our colleagues at baltic —— baltimore, the nerve centre, so alex, the show is yours.

here in westminster, things have started to shake down a little bit. in a speech to mark the official launch of his campaign. the former chancellor rishi sunak has said it is not credible not to promise more spending and lower taxes. conservative mps have until the autumn... tomorrow, wednesday, the first round of voting will take place among conservative mps. candidates with fewer than 30 votes in that first round, they will be out and will then go onto further rounds of voting which will whittle candidates all the way down to two if need be. there will be further rounds of voting if need be next week. there is a deadline, thursday next week. it has to be down to two by them. party members then enter the fray. it will be very who vote on who the next leader is. the last time, 160,000 conservative party

members were eligible to take part. and the overall result will be in on the 5th of september. our political correspondent helen catt has more than what we have heard today. not one, not two, but three campaign launches this morning, as nominations formally open in the conservative leadership contest. already assured of his place, rishi sunak, keen to paint himself at his launch this morning as the financially responsible candidate. my message to the party and the country is simple. i have a plan to steer our economy through these headwinds. we need a return to traditional conservative economic values. and that means honesty and responsibility, not fairy tales. looking on, the transport secretary, grant shapps, who announced he had dropped out of the race to back sunak. at the same time, in westminster, the chair of the foreign affairs select committee was launching his bid. we need leadership,

with a renewed sense of mission. leadership that sees beyond divisive politics and delivers results. leadership that will return government to the service of our economy, our people, and our country. and also elsewhere in westminster, the former equalities minister kemi badenoch set out her pitch. throughout my life there have been people who said you can't, you shouldn't, this is not for you, and in politics many people who said you're in the wrong party, you're saying the wrong things, you can't do that. but i'm not the sort of person who you can sideline, silence or cancel. she's one of several candidates competing for the vote of the party's right wing, along with the attorney general, suella braverman, and the foreign secretary liz truss. she picked up a couple of big endorsements this morning, shoring up the former remainer�*s brexit credentials. liz truss is the best candidate. that is what we are working for. she is a proper eurosceptic, she will deliver for the voters

and she believes in low taxation. and she's a woman. secretary priti patel has now confirmed she is not running. some worry that the right—wing vote will end up being split between too many candidates. labour's shadow cabinet meeting in high wycombe is concerned about what is happening while this is going on. it is planning to call a vote of no—confidence in the government tomorrow. finally the tory party concluded that borisjohnson was unfit to be prime minister. that was blindingly obvious a very long time ago. but having come to that conclusion, they can't now expect the country to allow him to cling on for weeks on end. the reason there have been three launches happening at the exactly same time this morning in westminster is because this contest is happening pretty quickly. candidates have only got until six o'clock tonight to get the backing of 20 conservative mps to enter the race at all. and by the first round of voting tomorrow, they will need the support of 30 to stay in.

which means they will need to take every chance to schmooze their colleagues, like this event on the commons terrace last night. as they try to whittle the field down to two. thank you forjoining us. we heard jacob rees—mogg saying he believes liz truss is the best person to represent euro scepticism. is that a criteria for you when you are making your choice? the criteria for me is the right values of the person and also the person who can unite the party and go to a country and win a general election. that is why i have selected sajid javid, because ultimately all of us, we were elected on a platform to get brexit done, we have all served with this prime minister, we have all rallied to the cause. we now need to make brexit work. we need to grasp those efficiencies and opportunities and i believe savage up it will do

that. �* . ., and i believe savage up it will do that. , ., , , ., that. brexit is not completely done. ireland that. brexit is not completely done. lreland issue _ that. brexit is not completely done. ireland issue is _ that. brexit is not completely done. ireland issue is unresolved. - that. brexit is not completely done. ireland issue is unresolved. and - that. brexit is not completely done. | ireland issue is unresolved. and how the next prime minister approaches that with the eu will be partly dictated by how he or she sees the eu and the uk's relationship with it. clearlyjacob rees—mogg sees eu and the uk's relationship with it. clearly jacob rees—mogg sees a firm approach the eu, shall we say, as a benefit. ijust want to know if you were considering the perspective...? i you were considering the perspective. . . ?_ you were considering the perspective. . . ? you were considering the r-ersective...? ~ , ., perspective. . . ? i think it is vital. and it is an _ perspective. . . ? i think it is vital. and it is an issue _ perspective. . . ? i think it is vital. and it is an issue that _ perspective. . . ? i think it is vital. and it is an issue that is - perspective. . . ? i think it is vital. and it is an issue that is high - perspective. . . ? i think it is vital. and it is an issue that is high on| and it is an issue that is high on the agenda for our members and supporters. it is also a very important, i think, supporters. it is also a very important, ithink, to supporters. it is also a very important, i think, to the country, because it determines our relationships in training. what we have seen so far as our trade secretary able to negotiate deals around the world, that creates prosperity and jobs. we need to deal with the obstacles, as you have mentioned, with a northern ireland protocol. i do believe sajid javid will be able to do that. he has been able to negotiate with a number of difficult challenges in the past, and i believe he will be up to that.

you talk about trade, the australia deal for example will bring not .1% of gdp in 15 years, according to government statistics. the obr, the independent body which projects the impact on gdp and brexit says it will lead into a long—term 4% drop in gdp. why is no one talking about brexit and the damage it is doing? we have had that debate. brute brexit and the damage it is doing? we have had that debate. we don't worry about — we have had that debate. we don't worry about that? _ we have had that debate. we don't worry about that? even _ we have had that debate. we don't worry about that? even though - we have had that debate. we don't worry about that? even though the | worry about that? even though the debates are happening? iblll worry about that? even though the debates are happening? poll of worry about that? even though the debates are happening?— debates are happening? all of the forecast had _ debates are happening? all of the forecast had been _ debates are happening? all of the forecast had been wrong - debates are happening? all of the forecast had been wrong in - debates are happening? all of the forecast had been wrong in the i debates are happening? all of the i forecast had been wrong in the past and there are so many factors. it is “p and there are so many factors. it is up to the government and whoever is the prime minister to set out how we are going to grasp the opportunities of brexit. there are many, many opportunities of brexit, you hear that all the time for businesses in my constituency. 0f that all the time for businesses in my constituency. of course we have to do with those issues surrounding the northern ireland protocol, but to talk about this is being damaged the country is wrong, we have moved beyond that. it is about the bright future that our country has outside the eu. in future that our country has outside the eu. , ., i. the eu. in terms of said javid, if he were to t the eu. in terms of said javid, if he were to become _ the eu. in terms of sajid javid, if he were to become prime - the eu. in terms of sajid javid, if i he were to become prime minister, where do you think he particularly

behind them are out and will not go through to the first round of voting which is tomorrow. the electorate is simply the conservative mps themselves. there is printing more on this on the bbc news page on the front page of the bbc news website and the bbc news app. let's turn away to other stories now. sir mo farah has revealed he was trafficked into the uk as a child and forced to work as a domestic servant. the four—time olympic champion told the bbc he was born hussein abdi kahin but was given the name mohamed farah by those who flew him from east africa with fake documents. he previously said he came to the uk from somalia with his parents as a refugee. our community affairs correspondent, adina campbell, has the story. one of the defining moments of the london 2012 olympics. sir mo farah on super saturday. taking gold in the 10,000 metres, part of a record—breaking career cementing his place

in the history books. but life could have turned out to be very different, and we now know he's not who we think he is. most people know me as mo farah, but it's not my name, or it's not the reality. the real story is i was born in somaliland, north of somalia as hussein abdi kahin. in a new documentary, he also reveals he was a child slave, trafficked to the uk at the age of nine and forced to work for a family in west london. myjob was to look after those kids, shower them, cook for them, clean for them. she said, "if you ever want to see you family again, don't say anything. if you say anything they will take you away." often i would just lock myself in the bathroom and cry,

and nobody is there to help. after a while, ijust learned not to have that emotion. despite what was happening behind closed doors, mo farah was a cut above the rest during his teenage years. and it was a conversation with his pe teacher who helped him escape from the abuse at home. years later, the documentary captures the moment he is reunited with his mum, who he thought had died. my mum's name is aisha. i will neverforget my mum, on that tape. so, the tape, it had a number on it, like to say, "call," on the back of it, "this is the number." then it said, "if this is a bother, or causing you trouble, don't, just leave it,

you don't have to contact me." and i'm going, "of course i'm going to contact you!" at that point, that's when i first called my mum. sir mo says he's made this documentary to tell the world what really happened in his childhood and to shed light on the serious issue of modern slavery, to show people greatness can be achieved even after monumental trauma. joining me now is becky murray who is the founder and ceo of one by one, an organisation that works with victims of human trafficking across the world. thanks forjoining us this afternoon. with someone as high—profile as sir mo farah having experienced this and speaking out about his experience, what effect do you think it will have on the discourse around trafficking and how

high it raises its profile? i discourse around trafficking and how high it raises its profile?— high it raises its profile? i think i want to salute _ high it raises its profile? i think i want to salute him _ high it raises its profile? i think i want to salute him for - high it raises its profile? i think i want to salute him for using i high it raises its profile? i think. i want to salute him for using his voice, because that is incredibly brave. i'm hoping this will put a huge spotlight on a global issue. it is happening right on our doorstep all over the world, so the fact he has spoken up against this when he has spoken up against this when he has such a name, a household brand like mo farah is phenomenal in raising awareness. pond like mo farah is phenomenal in raising awareness.— like mo farah is phenomenal in raisin awareness. �* ., , ., raising awareness. and how prevalent do ou raising awareness. and how prevalent do you think — raising awareness. and how prevalent do you think that _ raising awareness. and how prevalent do you think that issues _ raising awareness. and how prevalent do you think that issues like - raising awareness. and how prevalent do you think that issues like this - do you think that issues like this are? because it is very difficult to put an accurate number on it. that is riaht, put an accurate number on it. that is right. there _ put an accurate number on it. that is right, there is _ put an accurate number on it. that is right, there is no _ put an accurate number on it. trust is right, there is no accurate statistics on human trafficking, because it is all covered up, that is the whole point of trafficking. everything is covered, hidden. often they have tactics such as fear or isolation, just like they did with mo farah, in order to silence the men, women and children. and one by one has helped tens of thousands of children with preventative courses that we do. we hear this tactic

again and again where children are silenced through either fear or isolation. in silenced through either fear or isolation. ,., a, silenced through either fear or isolation. ., ., �*, isolation. in so mo farah's case, it was that a — isolation. in so mo farah's case, it was that a woman _ isolation. in so mo farah's case, it was that a woman he _ isolation. in so mo farah's case, it was that a woman he didn't - isolation. in so mo farah's case, it was that a woman he didn't know. was that a woman he didn't know brought him over on a plane with fake documents, what can be done to prevent trafficking like that happening?— prevent trafficking like that harreninu? j . , happening? one by one is very passionate _ happening? one by one is very passionate about _ happening? one by one is very passionate about preventative l passionate about preventative measures. i'm a big believer that if we can get to the girls or the kids before the traffickers do, then that is the real win. so we do lots of training about the tactics traffickers are likely to use to try to entice girls and children around the world. often times, it is that, come with me to the city and be a cook or clean or nanny. then the children are taken across the country and are taken to other countries, isolating them further. if we can do all we can to raise awareness and get to the children before traffickers, our schools programme is massive and we want to

roll that out more and more to reach tens of thousands more children. what is your advice to people in terms of what signs they are to look out for if someone is suspected of being trafficked?— being trafficked? traffickers will never wear _ being trafficked? traffickers will never wear a — being trafficked? traffickers will never wear a t-shirt _ being trafficked? traffickers will never wear a t-shirt saying - being trafficked? traffickers will never wear a t-shirt saying that j never wear a t—shirt saying that they are traffickers, but often times they look like normal people, notjust men that are commonly women. because that mothering, nurturing process will often draw a child and lead a child, they will be more likely to trust and travel with them. there are signs, so even in them. there are signs, so even in the case of mo farah, it was his teacher. sometimes the heroes in society are normal people doing normaljobs who simply looked out. if you see a child who doesn't seem to know the person that they are with or a child who is looking unkempt or is constantly nervous, these are trigger signs to look out for. if you see that, make a phone call, whether that be to social services or to the local police authorities, because you may well be

wrong but what if you're right? you could protect a child simply by speaking up, just like mo farah's pe teacher did. just speaking up, 'ust like mo farah's pe teacher did. , . . , speaking up, 'ust like mo farah's pe teacher did.— teacher did. just briefly, there is a strikin. teacher did. just briefly, there is a striking anecdote, _ teacher did. just briefly, there is a striking anecdote, could - teacher did. just briefly, there is a striking anecdote, could you i a striking anecdote, could you briefly share that with our viewers? i was out in sierra leone back in 2006, and i meta i was out in sierra leone back in 2006, and i met a little girl living on the streets of sierra leone. i noticed she had no shoes, she was begging just to survive from day to day. and i was a student at the time. so i had 50p with me and took her to the market, and 50p flip—flops, she asked me if she should wait in the hotel for me that night. i think if that... i was in my early 205 at the time so i asked her three times, and sure enough,...

that is what started us to launch one by one. thousands of children around the world, but it started with that little girl hence calling the organisation one by one. thank ou so the organisation one by one. thank you so much — the organisation one by one. thank you so much speaking _ the organisation one by one. thank you so much speaking us _ the organisation one by one. thank you so much speaking us today. - the organisation one by one. thank you so much speaking us today. becky murray, the founder and ceo of one by murray, the founder and ceo of one by one, which works with victims of human trafficking. you can see the documentary the real mo farah on bbc one.

these are the first full power, full—colour images and spectra stopping data as it begins its mission to unfold the infrared universe. they were broadcasted just under an hour ago light from the nasa centre in maryland's, and nasa's chain riggly explain what just one of those images shows. the first ima . e just one of those images shows. the: first image is a deep field, and it is a deep field with a cluster. one of the walk—through though is just a little bit? if it and look at this image, festival it is really gorgeous and it is teeming with galaxies. that is something that has been true for every image we have got on with james webb. we can't take blanks like everywhere we look there are galaxies everywhere. so this image, as we are looking we are seeing notjust all the galaxies, but a cluster here. so the cluster at these white ethereal galaxies. we are looking back in time. the speed of light is only so fast, so we are seeing distant galaxies out in space, we are seeing them as they

looked billions of years ago. these cluster galaxies, the white ones we are seeing about the time the sun and of the earth formed. let’s are seeing about the time the sun and of the earth formed. let's get more from — and of the earth formed. let's get more from doctor— and of the earth formed. let's get more from doctor martin - and of the earth formed. let's get| more from doctor martin barstow. professor of astrophysics and space science, at the university of leicester. thank you forjoining us. i don't know if you watched the nasa broadcast. . .— know if you watched the nasa broadcast... . , , ., broadcast... i have been trying to follow it while _ broadcast... i have been trying to follow it while waiting. _ broadcast... i have been trying to follow it while waiting. one - broadcast... i have been trying to follow it while waiting. one of. broadcast... i have been trying to| follow it while waiting. one of the scientists there _ follow it while waiting. one of the scientists there got _ follow it while waiting. one of the scientists there got emotional- follow it while waiting. one of the i scientists there got emotional while seeing some of these images that have come through. ijust wanted to get your reaction, how did you react when you saw these images? seen for the first time from the james webb space telescope. i feel emotional as well because we have been working on this project over a couple of decades ere have been working on this pro'ect over a couple of decadesfi over a couple of decades we have also had some — over a couple of decades we have also had some tough _ over a couple of decades we have also had some tough years - over a couple of decades we have also had some tough years when | over a couple of decades we have i also had some tough years when it was nearly cancelled because we overran the budget and we had delays because it turned out to be more difficult to build the telescope than anybody expected. to get

times of star formation and the formation of galaxies so it is very powerful tool and it gives resolution and detail in the images because of the of the mirrors. images that we have never had before. i don't know what else to say! it is amazing, just brilliant. we get a sense of why you are speechless because of this incredible achievement and many of us will remember when hubble produced its first images and at the time that was a remarkable achievement, so explain how much more significant it is and how we have got to the stage where we are getting images that are far superior from hubble? —— compared to hubble? hubble also transformed astronomy and that has been going for 30 years so we are taking another step on the journey but because we can probe so much further we will learn a lot about how we came to exist and it will take hubble another giant leap,

essentially, into the unknown, to actually learn about how galaxies form and how stars were formed and why the universe looks the way it does, i'm closer to home, although it is not as spectacular —— and also closer to home, although it is not as spectacular, the spectrum of the planet is really excited, outside our own solar system, and we can directly detect water vapour in the atmosphere for the first time and water vapour is a signature of life so it gives us tantalising evidence for potential existence of life elsewhere in our own galaxy. this is one of many things which webb will uncover over the next few years. i.ihfe uncover over the next few years. we will let you go back to watching the nasa live streaming. take will let you go back to watching the nasa live streaming.— nasa live streaming. take care, aoodb e.

weather. sport now and a full round—up from the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. olympic championjonny brownlee has pulled out of england's commonwealth games squad because of injury. the 2014 commonwealth mixed relay champion fractured his elbow and wrist in a crash at the world triathlon championship series in leeds last month. he was initially diagnosed with a fractured elbow and was thought to be recovering well, but after struggling with pain in his wrist a scan revealed further damage. brownless says he is "desperately disappointed". northern ireland sprinter leon reid has been barred from competing at this year's commonwealth games in birmingham following a security risk assessment. the 2018 bronze medallist has a criminal conviction after being found guilty in february of allowing his flat to be used to produce crack cocaine. commonwealth games ni say it's

disappointed and currently seeking clarity on any potential appeal. in cricket, england made a disastrous start in their first one—day international at the oval against india. england were bowled out forjust 110 runs — jason roy, joe root, ben stokes and liam livingstone all went for ducks. captainjos buttler did manage to hit 30 runs, which helped england avoid their worst ever 0di total. india going well so far... there's live coverage on bbc radio 5 live sports extra. less than three weeks before the start of the premier league season, manchester united have thrashed liverpool in a pre—season friendly in bangkok. jadon sancho opened the scoring for united in a first half in which erik ten hag's side totally dominated.

fred added a second before anthony martial made it 3—0 before half time. 20 year old facundo pellistri added a fourth late on to give united a comfortable win over jurgen klopp's side. tiger woods says some players "have turned their back" on what made them by leaving the pga tour to join the saudi—backed liv golf series. the 15—time major winner is in st andrews ahead of the start of the open this week and was asked what he made of players who had opted to compete for the liv series. the pga tour has suspended all members who have — although those who qualified for this week's open will be allowed to play. woods says he doesn't think their move is positive in the long term. the tour has given us the ability to chase after our careers and to earn what we get and the trophies we have

been able to play for and the history that has been a part of this game. i know greg tried to do this in the early 905 but it didn't work then and he is trying to make it work now. i still don't see how that is in the best interests of the game. ireland avenged their defeat by the maori all blacks a fortnight ago with an impressive 30—24 win in wellington. despite a slippery ball that led to numerous handling errors, the teams served up an entertaining contest. jordan larmour touched down twice during the match, this his second which sealed the victory and what should be a morale boosting win before ireland's series decider against the all blacks this weekend. and horses whose jockeys seriously breach whip rules will be disqualified under new plans for british racing. if the rules had been in place earlier this year, grand national winner noble yeats would have been disqualified. rider sam waley—cohen was suspended for nine days and fined £400. the rules will apply to riders

who use four or more strikes above the permitted threshold. that's all the sport for now. a bbc investigation has uncovered evidence that members of the british sas executed detainees and murdered unarmed people in afghanistan. panorama has discovered that one unit killed 54 people in suspicious circumstances, that senior officers failed to report the alleged murders, and they didn't disclose evidence to the military police. the mod says it will always hold uk troops to the highest standards and that they served with courage and professionalism in afghanistan. richard bilton reports. special forces were out most nights. in the winter of 2010, the sas were hunting the taliban.

but we have found some uk units were out of control. the sas came here, a village in central helmand, through a hole in the wall and into a building. people here say that everybody in the house was brought into the courtyard and the special forces troops bound all the men's hands. and then, one man was taken back inside and killed. haji ibrahim was a former district governor. a un investigation found he was not a threat, but an unarmed civilian. translation: his hands were tied at the front. i he had been killed. they had shot him in the corner of his eye, and later they had fired a shot at my father's chest.

the suspicious killing was far from a one off. panorama obtained military reports that show people were repeatedly shot dead after surrendering to the sas. in report after report, special forces claimed they sent a detainee back into the building to help with the search. the detainee was then shot, after supposedly grabbing a weapon. military insiders say the sas accounts are implausible. special forces routinely search and restrain detainees. impossible. if the person was so negligent, you would be getting rid of the special forces guy, you would be saying "you allowed someone to grab a grenade behind the curtain, you don't deserve to be in the special forces, you could have got everybody killed." we looked at one sas tour and identified 54 suspicious killings injust six months.

the evidence suggests sas executions went on for three years. i think allegations of the kind that you're making are incredibly shocking, and if they are true, then they would make me deeply sad and also deeply angry. the ministry of defence said in a statement today... the main mod investigation into war crimes in afghanistan was operation northmoor, but senior investigators who were part of it have told us they were stopped from getting to the truth. we were hitting brick walls in every direction. i believe there was pressure from above to shut down the investigation.

it became increasingly clear that it didn't matter what evidence we were able to gather, these cases were never going to be allowed to go to court. the ministry of defence says military police will consider any allegations, should new evidence come to light. some believe it is time to look again at the behaviour of sas death squads that arrived in the night. richard bilton, bbc news. and panorama: sas death squads exposed: a british war crime? is on bbc one at 9pm tonight. heathrow airport says it has introduced a cap on passenger numbers this summer as the aviation sector struggles to cope with demand. no more than 100,000 passengers each day will be able to depart from heathrow until early september. the airport says it's ordered airlines to stop selling summer tickets to limit the impact on passengers. i asked our business correspondent caroline davies for more details on this announcement.

there is a 100,000 departure cap, so no more than 100,000 able to depart from heathrow. that will be capped per terminal. they will decide how many passengers can leave from each terminal. but they are anticipating 100,000 are due to leave from these airports, so that will mean that there will be cancellations of flights. the other problem here is that the extra 4000, of that amount, already 1500 of those tickets have been sold, so there will be people who will be looking to try to rearrange on to different flights. that will potentially be a problem for the airport and the airlines, given that there are only 100,000 passengers allowed and they are already over capacity, so how will those flights be rearranged, and how these

passengers find alternative ways of getting abroad? that is something that the airlines are considering at the moment. this comes after so much travel disruption, doesn't it? is there any idea or suggestion of when passengers might hear more clarity about this? we are around the corner from plans people may have made over the summer holidays. at the moment we don't know which airlines are affected and which flights are affected. that hasn't been determined. heathrow airport said they will be speaking to the airports, this is being done through a regulator who is independent, who will sort out allocation, and heathrow have said that will be proportionate, but in terms of who exactly is being affected we don't know at this stage. caroline davies, there. the bbc has gathered evidence suggesting that problems scanning valid digital tickets may have contributed to the chaos at the champions league final in paris — and that stewards at the event may not have been properly prepared for front line roles. french authorities have so far blamed the chaos on fake paper tickets among liverpool fans, a transport strike, and local troublemakers who broke into the stade de france. our paris correspondent

lucy williamson reports. shouting these scenes haunt france's global image. fans with valid tickets blocked from the stade de france, caught between local gangs and tear—gassing police. but what caused the chaos at the turnstiles here on 28th of may? french authorities point to thousands of fake paper tickets among liverpool fans. that's not what steve saw. i could see around me lots of people holding their phones up, trying to get their qr codes on the application. my partner's qr code did activate, and it was the only one i saw of dozens around me. mine didn't. steve says the hold—up at his gate was caused by problems with digital tickets on uefa's mobile app. uefa says any glitches were due to fans not enabling

bluetooth on their phones. steve, an experienced it engineer, says he did. i think it's a problem actually within the application itself. the download that i took off the app store, its latest update a few days before the match resolved connectivity issues. and when we got to the match, we had connectivity issues. we asked uefa about this. they declined to respond until their own investigation was complete. some traced the problems to the lifting of checks at the stadium entrance, where stewards were meant to activate digital tickets with a swipe card. crowds, re—routed because of a rail strike, arrived at an entry point too small to handle them, overwhelming stewards. france's football federation told us at an inquiry that more than 1,600 stewards hired through private security companies were all vetted and certified for work. but one experienced stade de

france steward hired for the champions league final painted a different picture. translation: that day we had agents on their first assignment _ who were called 24 hours beforehand. the private agencies that work with the stade de france don't have enough stewards, and sometimes have to recruit agents without professional training. i know a lot of people who have been vip security guards at the stade de france with no certificate or security training. official explanation for the scenes here has rested on fake tickets, local trouble makers and a transport strike, but there are other questions for france and uefa to answer. notjust questions around fake tickets, but problems with valid ones. not just the crowds, but the stewards put in place to manage them. notjust the chaos on the night, but the preparation of politicians and police. 14 months until the rugby world cup. 24 months until the olympic games. some in this country are worried. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris.

the speed limit in all built—up areas in wales will be cut from 30 to 20mph if senedd members vote in favour of it this evening. it's divided opinion among drivers in some places but the welsh government says it'll lead to fewer accidents and help walkers and cyclists. daniel davies reports. these signs are an increasingly common sight but they could soon appear on thousands of miles of road. they have had a trial run across the north of cardiff, before potentially being introduced everywhere else. they have made it 20 mph past our house recently, and yeah, they have been upgrading recently to 20 mph zones. i'm all in favour. you are, are you? absolutely, i think it's great. from a parent's perspective, i like that, especially, where you are around schools, it seems like a good idea for safety. you know, when they are very little, they are a little bit unpredictable. not everyone is a fan...

we are struggling, you know. 20mph is not a good idea. why not? because if you are 2 mph, you can't speed up. because if you are 20mph, you can't speed up. a minimum of 30 is ok, you know. 20mph, you feel like you are walking. graham drives deliveries for the local green grocer. to be honest, it doesn't make a lot of difference. in principle, it's a good idea. the reality is that the times of the morning when i am out, it's not often that you are going over 20mph anyway. so, you know, it's really not a problem at all. only in exceptional circumstances would councils be able to keep the speed limit at 30mph, if senedd members vote in favour as expected tonight. supporters say safer roads will encourage more to walk and cycle. as we see changes in noise pollution, in air pollution, an increase in walking and cycling, people feeling more able to walk

and cycle, and therefore, feeling less vulnerable, less lonely, less isolated. all of these things have health effects. potentially, this could be the biggest public health intervention since the smoking ban. when the speed limit came down here in buckley, flintshire, some opponents organised a petition against it. they would like us to stop using our cars and they would like us to use our legs and cycle and walk but we haven't got the infrastructure to do that here. we have got no cycle lanes, we have got very narrow roads and our public transport systems are really quite poor for the size of the town that we are in. conservatives say it is ludicrous to spend money blanketing all villages, towns and cities with 20mph zones. but supporters say it is worth it if safer roads save lives. soaring temperatures are continuing across many parts of the uk — with the met office issuing a weather warning for extreme heat across parts of the england and wales this weekend. in some places temperatures could reach higher than 35 degrees celsius. our correspondentjon donnison has

been finding out how people are coping with the heat. another lazy hazy day for seeking out the shade, with temperatures once again round 30c, and forecast to get even hotter. i can't believe, like, they're saying saturday and sunday could be in the 405. i think that must be some sort of record. what's that work out as? 110, something like that? just mental weather. you do sweat a lot, i must admit. no lie, you know what i mean, just take on plenty of deodorant is what you have to do. i'm originally from the caribbean so i'm kind of used to the heat, so i never really complain about it, so whenever it's really hot here, itjust reminds me, i'm back home, to be honest. and this is no longer unusual. every year, for the last ten years, the uk has had days where it has been over 32 degrees. in hyde park people are doing what they have been able to keep cool and doctors are warning to look out for

signs of dehydration and exhaustion. heat causes excess deaths every year and so when we have these alerts we want people to moderate their behaviour so they look out for each other and the most vulnerable which includes both young people and older people. the hot weather has been pushing up from southern europe, and many countries on the continent have had it far worse. in spain and portugal, the extreme heat has led to wild fires. there, temperatures above 40 degrees have already been recorded, and france, germany and italy are all expected to hit similar highs over the weekend. and here in the uk, and around the world, climate scientists have been warning for years that all of this is going to become the new normal. jon donnison, bbc news. if you are planning on travelling abroad this summer it's notjust travel disruption that you'll need

to bear in mind. new research has found some of the added holiday extras — things like insurance, parking and food abroad — have dramatically gone up in price. our consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith reports we've got a lot of coins in there. it's happy holiday memories for the beddow family. there was so many types of pasta! but their euro camp trip this easter had a sting in the tail. the cost of eating out, and actuallyjust buying food in the supermarket, in holland, was so much more than we expected. itjust felt surprising and a little bit disappointing, i think, that it wasn't sort of as cheap as things used to be when you went on holiday. research for the bbc by travel comparison site ice lolly shows that average holiday prices have gone up, but so have all the extras. compared tojune 2019, single trip travel insurance is up 40%, to £52. average airport parking prices are up almost 30%, but it is car hire that has seen the biggest increase, with rates

more than doubling, to £500 a week. many rental companies sold their stock in the pandemic, and now there is a global shortage of new vehicles, so they can't get their hands on enough cars to meet the big demand this year. the pound has dropped in value, too, so we are getting a little less euros or dollars for our cash. just like at home, inflation is spiking across much of the world, and that means that the prices on the menus are increasing. at this cafe in benidorm, ashley is facing much higher costs, but trying desperately to keep his prices fixed. many of our plates of food we've not put the prices up, because after such a couple of difficult years in the tourism industry, we are a bit too worried to put them up and scare away potential customers we are hoping to gain, so instead we are taking the hit. karen writes a blog about travelling with children, and has lots of advice to try

and keep costs down. i always look at booking my car hire straightaway, i always look at booking my car parking at the airport straightaway. these costs only ever go up before the holiday, and they tend to be the things that people forget to do until just before. with so many disappointments over recent years, it is tempting to max out the credit card on holiday, but with rising costs once you get back home, keeping the reins on holiday spending will be more difficult but more important than ever this year. colletta smith, bbc news, in west kirby. now it's time for a look at the weather. any relief from the heat, can we sleep at night any time soon? another difficult night for those in the south—east tonight. temperatures will come down a few degrees before we get the really hot weather that will be building in on sunday and monday but for the time being we have this weather front sliding

south—east and maybe the odd spit of rain but in the capital at around ten o'clock, the timid you will be 25, 26, uncomfortable or london —— the temperature will be 25. it would be more comfortable the further north you live. tomorrow, slight change in the weather picture and a breezy day for scotland and northern ireland with a few passing showers but many probably staying dry. further south, but many probably staying dry. furthersouth, england but many probably staying dry. further south, england and wales with a dry day with sunshine, and look at the range of temperatures, high teens and the low 205 in the north but in the south another 30 degrees day on the cards. thursday we have some showers knocking around and scotland and northern ireland we could see some of those and for wales and england at some cloud bubbling up for a time but the temperatures are still on the high side in the south—east. but we are talking about the high 205 rather

than the low 305, but the weather is set to get a lot hotter with a met office amber warning for extreme heatin office amber warning for extreme heat in place for sunday and monday and part of the reason the weather is getting hotter is because of what is getting hotter is because of what is going on in portugal, where we could see temperatures approaching the all—time portuguese national temperature record, those extreme temperatures are building beneath this ridge of high pressure with an area of low pressure to the west and what happens is the ridge that contains the hot air begins to expand and it grows and amplifies and as it does so it pushes further north and eventually we get some of that really hot air moving its way in across parts of the uk. what does this mean? in the north of the country where we have temperatures in the high teens and low 205, gets a lot warmer, temperatures in the mid 205 and even high 205, but further south, wales, the midlands,

east anglia and the southern counties where we have searing heat and we could have temperatures reaching the mid 305 and may be the high 305 in place —— in places and that could put the all—time record under threat, which is currently 38.7. monitorthe under threat, which is currently 38.7. monitor the forecast to see if we get close to the record. that is the latest.
