fire crews have worked through the night damping down wildfires and blazes in homes which broke out in yesterday's record—breaking heat. dozens of homes were damaged or destroyed and hundreds had to be evacuated. london was among a number of fire brigades that declared major incidents as fires broke out across the country. one blaze in east london, on the edge of kent, gutted several houses and a church after spreading from nearby grassland. the speed at which fires were spreading was put down to tinderbox dry conditions — on a day that saw 33 locations break the previous record temperature of 38.7 degrees celsius, and a new record of 40.3 degrees set in lincolnshire. here's our correspondent david lumb. when it's as hot as this, even the smallest spark can trigger a huge blaze. wennington in the east of london.

flames soon ripping through homes. it was like a scene from the blitz or war of the worlds. windows popping out everywhere, explosions. it was pretty frightening, really, all round, really. but i'm just pleased there were no fatalities. i was told that i needed to leave and so i left and went to my local church, because we've got a community church. after spending a few minutes in the church, then we realised the church ground was also on fire so we were told to evacuate the church. i was sunbathing in my garden and then a massive black cloud has come across, i looked up, that side was on fire and within an hour it had spread all the way to our house. we've got a field outside our house that is on fire, all of our cars have gone. luckily, i've now got the animals and the kid out and just waiting for an update on the house. yesterday in the uk recorded temperatures over a0 celsius for the first time.

by the afternoon london fire brigade had received more than 1600 calls for assistance. the mayor of london said the service was under immense pressure. 0ne london fire brigade source told the bbc demand was so high that at one point that wasn't a single fire appliance available to respond to calls because they were already committed. it wasn't just the capital struggling. 14 fire and rescue services declared major incidents, including north and south yorkshire. really, really challenging, and the crews have worked really hard, along with our neighbouring brigade, who have given us assistance. we have had a pump from derbyshire helping out this afternoon. the crews have worked really hard to bring the incident to a conclusion. in dartford, a fire burned fiercely next to the a2. and this was the scene

in milton keynes where a fire damaged a nursery and several homes. there are concerns that with the grass dry and temperature high, conditions forfires remain. people have been urged not to have barbecues or bonfires due to the unprecedented challenges facing crews. david lumb, bbc news. the mayor of london sadiq khan says 41 properties were destroyed in london by fires in the heatwave. yesterday it was the busiest day for the fire service in london since the second world war. on a normal date they emit receive about 350 calls on a busy day around 500, yesterday we received more than 2600 calls. at the same time fire brigade were fighting fires requiring 30 engines, some requiring 15, some 12, sanc ten. in total 42 properties have

been lost, 16 firefighters were injured, thankfully all are ok, two had to go to hospital. it shows the consequences of climate change with temperatures exceeding a0 celsius. it's not rain for more than one month and the grass is incredibly dry, like tinder and month and the grass is incredibly dry, like tinderand it month and the grass is incredibly dry, like tinder and it can catch fire very easily and the fire spread very fast and one of the great things about london is the amount of green spaces we have but one of the consequences of green spaces impinging properties is where there are these grass fires they can spread quickly and damaged properties. some of these fires were because of the behaviour of us human beings inadvertently. leaving a match here, it could be because a glass bottle is on the dry grass and it magnifies the rays and a spark leads to a fire starting. most of the fire is just that the red grass fires. what you normally see art fires. what you normally see art fires in this country a national park or on the mirrors, we don't usually see these fires in london.

they are akin to california or the south of france and this is my point, these are not normal. if we were speaking ten or 15 years ago we would talk about a heatwave occurring every ten years with temperatures in the mid 20s. if you look at the 12 hottest days ever in this country all of them have occurred post—2003 and yesterday we were post—a0 c. the chief medical officer is saying this is a potential threat to life, all of our lives, notjust those who are old and vulnerable. for the first time in our history at the met office issued a red alert, level four warning. that shows the seriousness of this which is why we should be dealing with the consequences and making sure we adapt our cities and make sure the fire service has the kit we need, we have cool places across our city and also deal with the causes and tackle climate change.

dozens of trains have been cancelled and this fire damage to the east coast main line at sandy, is expected to keep the route between london and peterborough closed until at least midday. simon calder is at kings cross, and said that depsite the weather cooling down, things were far from running smoothly. i'm at london kings cross company hub for the east coast main line that connects the capital with yorkshire, tyneside, scotland and there are no trains running at all. i was expecting to see at 5:a5am this morning the very first train going north to edinburgh but that was cancelled as has every other train today, lner says do not travel. it is rumoured that might be some trains from noon onwards, nothing going north because of a fire at peterborough which has damaged the overhead wires. that has also a common problem on other lines, the west coast main line is

having a really serious issues going north from london, also in the birmingham new street area, and on top of that between lancaster and carlisle. as a result, it all depends where you aren't. if you are in scotland you are going to get a much better service today and you have for the last two months because the drivers' dispute is over and 700 trains had been reinstated. i've looked at other places. leads, manchester, cardiff, bristol, all looking good as long as you're not trying to get into london from the north. just across at st pancras international the hub for eurostar, you can get to paris, amsterdam, brussels or kent but you cannot travel on the east midlands railway to leicester, derby, nottingham or sheffield. all sorts of problems, network rail engineers at work overnight continuing to do that and if you are trying to travel long

distance, please check in advance. inflation — the rate at which prices ar rising — rose to 9.a% injune. it's a fresh a0 year record. it's been driven by petrol, energy and food costs. the figure comes a day after public sector workers were offered below—inflation pay awards. and there are fears that inflation could reach 11% this year. the chief secretary to the treasury, simon clarke said it was a critical issue for families up and down the country, but that external factors such as the war in ukraine and pandemic lockdowns were to blame. we are confident and the bank of england is confident we will see a marked improvement in 2023. in the meantime the government is putting in place at £37 billion package of support forfamilies up in place at £37 billion package of support for families up and down the country which is precisely designed to help with the undoubted pressures the situation is growing up, nobody underestimates how challenging this

is and we are determined we will do ourfull part as is and we are determined we will do our full part as the government to look at at the british people at a time when global events are really taking a toll here at home. union leaders have said those latest public sector pay offers are a �*kick in the teeth' in the light of the cost of living. and with prices continuing to rise at their fastest rate for a0 years, families around the country are thinking about how they are going to manage. today we're in derby to see what ways this community has found to cope with rising prices. victoria fritz is there as part of the bbc�*s counting the cost of living project. good to see you. yes, we are here for this bbc counting the cost of living series. this is a problem around the country and very much in derby as well. there is a higher rate of fuel poverty here than elsewhere, and a higher rate of unemployment and incomes are just not keeping pace with inflation and

we've heard inflation is now rising at its fastest pace in more than a0 years. we are talking to families about how they are coping and finding things. i've got with me dave, tracey and yvonne williams, councillor for the city. we will get to yvonne in a moment but first, tracey, what is been going on with you? it is difficult at the moment. things— it is difficult at the moment. things are really tough. we are behind — things are really tough. we are behind on — things are really tough. we are behind on a gas and electric, we've had to— behind on a gas and electric, we've had to set— behind on a gas and electric, we've had to set up a payment plan because we missed _ had to set up a payment plan because we missed one month in that role and that the _ we missed one month in that role and that the next month and you're trying — that the next month and you're trying to— that the next month and you're trying to play catch up and in effect — trying to play catch up and in effect we _ trying to play catch up and in effect we are borrowing from my mum and having _ effect we are borrowing from my mum and having to pay her back and you -et and having to pay her back and you get into _ and having to pay her back and you get into this vicious cycle of not being _ get into this vicious cycle of not being able to afford to pay your bills because you are paying back other— bills because you are paying back other people. we've had to set up a payment _ other people. we've had to set up a payment plan because we have been threatened with bailiffs and having

day, we'll go to a school later on to find out how the cost of living is affecting education and menu choices on schools as well so stay with us. plenty to come. in a few hours, conservative mps will take part in the final vote to choose the two mps who will be presented to the party's approximately 160,000 membership and become the next prime minister. former chancellor rishi sunak is likely to make it through having won the support of 118 mps in the last round, with the battle for second place between foreign secretary liz truss and trade minister penny mordaunt. let's talk to our political correspondent, iain watson. it is going to be such an interesting day. tell our viewers about vote lending and how that might affect things. this is something denied by all sides but certainly there are accusations of it happening in the last leadership contest. on those

grounds borisjohnson was very clearly ahead and it was felt by allowing jeremy hunt to go through to the second round, the round when the members have their say, he was one of the weaker candidates and one most likely to be beaten by boris johnson and acquisitions at that time his campaign were lending votes tojeremy hunt to keep the other contenders out of the race. this time they're all denying doing this but the penny mordaunt camp, currently in second place with mps, some of them have been saying publicly and privately they believe rishi sunak would rather take on liz truss and the rishi sunak campaign team has got lots of ammo can deploy on liz truss should she get into the final two. on liz truss should she get into the finaltwo. i on liz truss should she get into the final two. i am on liz truss should she get into the finaltwo. iam not on liz truss should she get into the final two. i am not endorsing any of these allegations but simply giving you an idea of the atmosphere at westminster as the three camps try to make sure they've got enough

support by one o'clock this afternoon when mps begin to vote. we will get the result at four o'clock. it certainly is not entirely been a wholesome race so far with various briefings against candidates in the papers. a couple of contentious tv debates already. at the moment, liz truss is currently in third place but with kemi badenoch going out with 59 votes going spare, a son it looked as though she has the ability to overtake penny mordaunt for that second place but of course as you are hinting at, there will be lots of discussion behind the scenes and lots of potential horse trading between the candidates. the polling of conservative party members has pretty much consistently shown if rishi sunak is up against liz truss or penny mordaunt, truss or penny mordaunt will beat him. can we trust those polls? i

or penny mordaunt will beat him. can we trust those polls?— we trust those polls? i don't think we trust those polls? i don't think we can. we trust those polls? i don't think we can- they _ we trust those polls? i don't think we can. they are _ we trust those polls? i don't think we can. they are a _ we trust those polls? i don't think we can. they are a useful- we trust those polls? i don't think| we can. they are a useful snapshot and they are being deployed by some of the campaigns by the penny are modern and liz truss campaigns to take on liz truss —— take on rishi sunak and attractive to voters more widely. the penny mordaunt camp got off to flying start and then she came under scrutiny, would beat the polite term. a bit of a in the press —— bit of a battering in the press. some of her momentum began to tail off. the view it would be if members get a month or so to think about this and hustings around the country, the bbc debate as well on monday, and perhaps the membership might think again and might think rishi sunak looks like they're more potentially attractive option and from his camp he would rather the

membership do not get their ballot papers too soon and people are given enough time to weigh up the merits and demerits of its candidates. but if you look at the situation at the moment, it looks like amongst mps rishi sunak is well ahead but amongst party members he would struggle. thank you very much. the new president of sri lanka has been elected by parliamentarians — his name is ranil wickremesinghe. he became the acting president last week, following the resignation of his predecessor over the severe economic crisis in the country. he will stay in the post until 202a. a reporter set this update. remarkable victory for mr wickremesinghe securing around 13a votes with the majority of 52, more than people here and expected. and as soon as mr wickremesinghe's

election was announced a group of protesters shouted slogans saying go home because the protest movement in sri lanka that has been holding demonstrations for months have opposed mr wickremesinghe's nominations saying he was too close to the rajapaksa family. in response to the rajapaksa family. in response to the rajapaksa family. in response to the victory while speaking in parliament mr wickremesinghe had said his election will spell an end to divisions on the island. the camp of his arrival and, they were working very hard to get the maximum support but now mr wickremesinghe have the major challenge of rebuilding the economy and bring the country together, there are two main divisions here in this island nation. it's not a normal election on a non—situation, sri lanka is going through unprecedented economic crisis. no money, they are basically bankrupt and this led his protest to startjust behind me three months

ago. huge crowds are forced into the president gotabaya rajapaksa and he fled the country and resigned and out the country needs money to buy food and medicine and fuel and are asking the imf to provide them an emergency loan which means mr wickremesinghe should stop talking to the imf and continued negotiations to get this emergency loan and secondly, they have an external debt of $51 billion so the need to sit with international creditors to restructure their loans and get the economy back on track to the hardships of the people can be reduced. now it's time for a look at the weather. good morning. victoria is absolutely right, it is going to be cool about __ by right, it is going to be cool about —— by ten to 15 degrees today, but we have a bit of cloud in the west drifting east, producing showers this morning and we will see

thundery showers through the course of the afternoon, especially in the south—eastern quarter. the showers, not all of us will catch on, you can see them travelling to the pennines, lincolnshire and yorkshire. for scotland and northern ireland, a drier day with one or two showers and some sunshine. and fresh in the west, still hot and humid further east. this evening and overnight, cloud in scotland pushes south into england and east wales, picking up again for splashes of rain here and there. clear skies in the north and west and it will be a cooler night thanit west and it will be a cooler night than it was last night. we start tomorrow with cloud in england. picking up again for the odd shower. brighter skies with sunshine, south east england, wales, northern ireland and scotland. and a noticeable breeze down the north sea coastline. temperatures tomorrow, 18 in aberdeen, 22 in norwich and a top temperature of 25 in london.

now england take on spain in brighton tonight, as they bid to reach the semi—finals of the women's euros. chetan partak is in there for us this morning. chetan, england manager serena wiegman missed their last game because she had covid. will she be there tonight? she has been wearing a mask from a distance, she is desperate to be here to see if england can get over the line against spain in this quarterfinal. last time england played here, they thrashed norway 8-0 played here, they thrashed norway 8—0 in the most stunning result of the group stages so far we know how important she is to this england team. since she took over from phil neville in september last year, 16 matches she has been in charge of, 1a of them, she has won, two draws, nearly 100 goals scored. her entire dna runs throughout the fabric of this england team. lee williamson the captain told us how much they had missed out yet they are so well drilled under their mantra, they think they can deliver even without

her. they got the job done on friday without her against northern ireland. now can they do that against spain? and the goalkeeper hannah hanson is also testing positive for covid. tags hannah hanson is also testing positive for covid.— hannah hanson is also testing positive for covid. as you say, i am sure the england _ positive for covid. as you say, i am sure the england team _ positive for covid. as you say, i am sure the england team will- positive for covid. as you say, i am sure the england team will be - sure the england team will be desperate to have their manager back. but so far, so good for england in the group stage, 1a goals, they have been in the pick of all the teams in the competition. but how big a step up will spain be tonight? it but how big a step up will spain be tonitht? , ., ., tonight? it will be tough, tougher than what they — tonight? it will be tough, tougher than what they have _ tonight? it will be tough, tougher than what they have faced - tonight? it will be tough, tougher than what they have faced so - tonight? it will be tough, tougher than what they have faced so far, | than what they have faced so far, the 8-0 than what they have faced so far, the 8—0 when over no way should not be brushed aside, we get a lot of scorelines in women's football, but norway are a great team and norway blew them away. this is the way wiegman plays, she goes in with the press, she has won this trophy with the netherlands and england look like they are peaking at the right time, this was the plan in place, 2022 they have been talking about

for some time, alongside the united states, england are the most invested in team. spain will offer a threat. they might be without the world footballer of the year, they had two massive blows before the tournament, they are a possession —based team. their coach said england will be their toughest test so far. they were one of the pretournament favourites, but england are looking so good, i think they will look at spain is a challenge they can get past. and who knows what lies in store potentially, july the 31st, the final at wembley, it could be against germany, but i am not going to get carried away for now. they have a tough test in front of 30,000 plus here at the amex who will be trying to will england over the line. eight o'clock kick—off, live coverage on bbc one from 7:30pm. head of the big game for england tonight, thank you very much. and thatis tonight, thank you very much. and that is all your spot for now. we saw and anti—swiss piece, jake's dad, the stadium commentator, but i

think we have more pictures now, we will show the pictures ofjeff, jake's dad, at the momentjake crossed the line? let's look at this, i haven't seen these. and i think any moment now, jake's mum, sue, comes into shot, bear with me. i don't know if that is his mum screaming! but his mum used to be jake's pe teacher, there she is. oh, my goodness. that is gorgeous, isn't it? jeff just my goodness. that is gorgeous, isn't it? jeffjust puts his head on his arms. actually commentating. the actual words when his son across the line, that's my son and i coach him, and he is the world champion. —— crossed the line. makes you want to

cry, doesn't it? crossed the line. makes you want to cry. doesn't it?— cry, doesn't it? fantastic pictures, absolutely brilliant. _ cry, doesn't it? fantastic pictures, absolutely brilliant. athletics - cry, doesn't it? fantastic pictures, absolutely brilliant. athletics runs| absolutely brilliant. athletics runs through this family so much, you saw jake's dad commentating, his mum used to be a gb runner herself and then a pe teacher after that. she ran in the 1986 commonwealth games. so athletics just runs through that family. jake wightman had a brilliant summer up to this point, but i don't think people thought he was necessarily going to win that gold medal, they knew he could challenge, but it was such a strong field, we saw in that piece, the olympics champion running in that race, jake wightman was only tenth in that olympics final, so for him to go on and take the gold in the world championships againstjacob world championships against jacob ingebrigtsen, world championships againstjacob ingebrigtsen, it was a fantastic night for british athletics and of course, for that sporting family. definitely, thank you very much.

temperatures across western europe are showing signs of easing on wednesday, but the threat caused by wildfires is not. more than 30 fires are still raging in spain, portugal, france and greece. in the uk, the number of blazes has surged, after temperatures topped a0 degrees for the first time ever. azadeh moshiri has the latest. across europe, wildfires have continued to rip through the continent's forests. the damage is clear in france. summer campsites have been destroyed. the country has seen tens of thousands of hectares burned and tens of thousands of people evacuated. north of athens, in greece, green hills were covered in smoke, as authorities reported 39 wildfires in just 2a hours. some residents were so close to the fires, they found it hard to breathe. in spain, more than 30 wildfires continued to ravage parts of the country, edging closer to residential areas. the country's prime minister paid a visit to one of the hardest—hit regions, in galicia.

translation: so far this year, - 70,000 hectares have already been burned across this country. to give us an idea, this is almost double the number of hectares that have been burnt, on average, over the last decade. heatwaves are happening more frequently, becoming more severe and causing temperatures some countries have never seen before. as climate scientists continue to warn world leaders about the urgent need to cut emissions, these fires have made sure the issue is front and centre, for the time being. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. our correspondentjessica parker, is in south west france, and she explained the scale of the destruction caused by the wildfires there. i'm at the command post for la teste—de—buch. so, as you can see behind me, lots of fire engines here at the command hq for this wildfire. there's sort of two main ones that

have been raging over the last week here in south west france. actually, though, some good news overnight. what the authorities are saying is that the fire has made very little progress. and i don't know if you can see, you probably can't, but there is a little bit of light rain falling now. and i'm told as well there was a little bit of rain as well overnight. not a lot. but of course, that is helpful, much more helpful to the firefighters than those soaring temperatures that we had on monday, where you had temperatures of over a0 degrees, quite a lot of changeable winds as well, which really made for a huge struggle. we saw 16,000 people evacuated on that day alone. since then, temperatures have started to drop but, you know, the fire is not out. i mean, it's very smoky here. and just in that direction is towards the fire, and i can see itjust gets smokier and smokier the further in that you would go. we're just on the outer edge of the perimeter where people — journalists and local authorities — are allowed in. but things do seem a little better than they were. but having said all of that, i think it's over 37,000 was the latest figure of people

remain evacuated from this area and the other fire further inland at landiras, and it's still not clear when those people might be able to return home. women in england live, on average, four years longer than men, but spend more of their life in poor health, due to a so—called gender health gap. now, a new government strategy has been published — covering everything from periods to fertility and the menopause — to address inequalities in the system and improve care for women and girls. our health correspondent, catherine burns, has more. they say some people open up to their hairdresser more than they do to their close friends. that's definitely true for zoe and her clients. most of the time, i'm the agony aunt, but now they're having to listen to me and my problems. zoe has had endometriosis since she was a teenager. it can cause severe pain and heavy bleeding.

for years, though, doctors told her shejust had a bad periods. you will be all right, it's just normal, and it's not normal. i don't think being in pain is normal. you're talking about really personal things and if you have to have an examination, it's a lot _ it's embarrassing, isn't it? she used to have periods that would last for months and months on end and you've just told her, it's unlucky. that's just not fair, is it? that went on for ten years and, in the end, it was easily sorted when sharon had a coilfitted, a procedure that took ten minutes. victoria finds it so hard to get help that she is just ignoring her problem, a prolapse. part of the uterus is coming out. coming out? oh, my word, you poorthing. do you think you have been given enough options by the doctors? no, not really. let's face it. it's like, you've either got a regina or a voice, you don't seem to have both, do you?

no, you're right. this sense of women's voices not being heard came through loud and clear when the government asked for views on women's health in england. to give you some context, recent consultations like this had around 7,000 responses and this one had almost 100,000. almost all women, and the vast majority, say health professionals did not listen to them. older teenagers say their main health concern is periods. for women in their 20s, the focus shifts to gynaecological conditions. next, pregnancy and fertility are highlighted, because as women age, their needs change. menopause is the next big question, and for the over—60s, the spotlight is on healthy ageing. one key part of this government strategy is to encourage women's health hubs — to deal with everything from puberty, to the perimenopause and beyond. i'm going to put the implant in your arm now. there is really nothing on that scale yet, but in liverpool, they have started a hub focusing on contraception, and it's working.

the service has seen a 30% increase in patients getting long—acting contraception fitted. we really want to roll out more services beyond contraceptions. there's an awful lot of good gluing this together but now we need funding, support, education, so we can make this happen. women's health has been affected by the pandemic too. since it started, gynaecology waiting lists in england have gone up by 79%. the average is a9%. here in westminster, the government says this strategy will help women across the course of their lives, but there's also an acknowledgement that it won't be a quick fix. i don't think there is an overnight solution to changing culture and it does take time to change hearts and minds. it's the start of the process. we have some low—hanging fruit we can make some quick wins on, but this isn'tjust going to be something that is an announcement today and not going to happen in the future. we are serious about this. so what will the low—hanging fruit to be?

there is a plan for better access to ivf, more training for medical students, an aim for the nhs website to be world class on women's health. one thing that there isn't is a lot of new money. there's also a question about keeping up the momentum on this. i'm really concerned about the timing, and this coming just before the recess. it was a shame we didn't get it a couple of months ago, where you could see the time to push this through, and in some ways, it might even create more frustration because we'll have another couple of months and then we will be picking up with a new government. this isn't the first women's health strategy in the uk. scotland's plan came out last year. wales has had a women's health implementation group for four years. northern ireland doesn't have a specific strategy. so, are you happy about it? back in liverpool, what's the verdict in the salon? i think it's good they're doing something and i think slowly but surely, women's voices are getting louder. although we might wait, i think

eventually, it may be better, better for our daughters and their daughters. but what about us? what about us? that's the thing. it's nice that we are getting - a voice, our voices are being heard, it'sjust going to take time. yeah, that's how i feel. fingers crossed, girls. yeah? nearly a million people have cancelled their subscriptions with netflix in the past three months. but the streaming giant had expected to lose twice that, after years of growth. the company is being hit by a busier marketplace and rising costs, as our north america technology reporterjames clayton explains. if you're old enough, you'll remember this — going to an actual physical shop and renting out dvds. how quaint. companies like blockbusters died because of the growth of an upstart — netflix. first, you could order dvds online. but in 2007, it started offering something very different — streaming content. the model was wildly successful. netflix was a phenomenon. tv was dead. it was all about subscriptions.

well, not quite. netflix was the big disruptor in the category. and what it's facing right now is, it's facing disruption itself. here in silicon valley, netflix has just released its new audience figures for the last quarter and they're not especially good. they lost a million subscribers in the last three months. so, what's gone wrong? for one, there is simply loads of competition — disney+, amazon prime, hbo max, apple tv, to name but a few — and that competition has created a brutal spending war. the top—eight streamers are predicted to spend more than $100 billion on content this year. netflix has come up with some monster hits in recent times. think squid games, the crown. and netflix productions were nominated for 27 oscars this year. the company is still making good content. but the cost—of—living crisis has led to belt—tightening, with families across the world looking at streaming services as a potential saving. many other households don't have a netflix account at all,

but share the login of friends and family. one study found that netflix was losing $25 billion a year from people watching netflix on someone else's account. but netflix has known about this problem for years and hasn't been able to stop it from happening. instead, netflix is now looking at adverts as a potential solution. our research shows, we did a survey in may amongst netflix subscribers, about 9% of uk online adults who don't currently subscribe to netflix indicated that they would consider subscribing to netflix if it offered a cheaper, ad—supported tier. netflix knows that to survive, it has to change. if not, one day, it could be another blockbusters. james clayton, bbc news, silicon valley.

let's talk about the conservative leadership race, due to get under way in a few hours, and we will know the final two by apm this afternoon before it goes out to members, and they will select. let's took to the conservative mp for north thanet, sir roger gale, who is backing penny mordaunt. hello to you, sir roger gale. how much faith you have in those polls of conservative websites, conservative supporting websites, conservative supporting websites, that suggest that penny mordaunt or liz truss would be the chancellor when it comes to going to membership? the chancellor when it comes to going to membership?— membership? the votes that matter are the votes _ membership? the votes that matter are the votes of _ membership? the votes that matter are the votes of the _ membership? the votes that matter are the votes of the party _ membership? the votes that matter are the votes of the party and - membership? the votes that matter are the votes of the party and the i are the votes of the party and the country. when we have got the final shortlist of two. my concern is to make sure we have the right two people. as an offering to the party, so they can exercise their choice over the next two months when the case will be made. one of those people i think is almost certainly going to be rishi sunak because the parliamentary party has made it

clear they want him in the contest. the party and the country i think once penny mordaunt and it is write her name should be on the ballot paper. then have a straight choice between two people. i have always said, i've not declared until today, but i have always said i wanted to back one of the six —— insurgents, so kemi badenoch penny mordaunt or tom tugendhat. two have gone out of the race and we are left with penny so that is why i will be supporting her, she has the courage and integrity to do the job. do her, she has the courage and integrity to do the job. integrity to do the 'ob. do you have concerns about — integrity to do the job. do you have concerns about the _ integrity to do the job. do you have concerns about the tax _ integrity to do the job. do you have concerns about the tax cuts - integrity to do the job. do you have concerns about the tax cuts she - integrity to do the job. do you have| concerns about the tax cuts she has announced it will, according to her and her supporters, announced it will, according to her and hersupporters, be announced it will, according to her and her supporters, be self funding? i have no concern whatsoever over the policies she has announced, some of which have rather mischievously been misrepresented. but look, what we are heading into now is a two horse race over a two month period, during which all of these items will be scrutinised beyond belief. and thatis be scrutinised beyond belief. and

that is entirely proper and i welcome that. at the moment, my concern is to see we get the right two people on the ballot paper so that the party and the country and indeed the country has the choice that i think it deserves. band indeed the country has the choice that i think it deserves.— indeed the country has the choice that i think it deserves. and why do ou think that i think it deserves. and why do you think it — that i think it deserves. and why do you think it should _ that i think it deserves. and why do you think it should be _ that i think it deserves. and why do you think it should be rishi - that i think it deserves. and why do you think it should be rishi sunak l you think it should be rishi sunak and penny mordaunt on that final two, ratherthan and penny mordaunt on that final two, rather than liz truss and penny mordaunt, say? two, rather than liz truss and penny mordaunt. say?— two, rather than liz truss and penny mordaunt, say? quite simply because i think the parliamentary _ mordaunt, say? quite simply because i think the parliamentary party, - mordaunt, say? quite simply because i think the parliamentary party, i - i think the parliamentary party, i am not supporting mr sunak, but i think the parliamentary party has made it plain they want him on the ballot paper and that is probably what the vote will say today. then the choice comes down to liz truss or penny mordaunt and i have exercised my choice because as i have said, i think we need a fresh start candidate and an insurgent candidate. penny is one of the three remaining who has my support. because of her courage, her honesty, integrity, herability because of her courage, her honesty, integrity, her ability to do the job. it is going to be a very difficultjob that has to be done for the country. difficult job that has to be done for the country.— difficult job that has to be done

this is bbc news. i'm victoria derbyshire and these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world... houses destroyed, hundreds evacuated from their homes — the aftermath of the wildfires in the uk from yesterday's record—breaking heatwave. i was sunbathing in my garden and then a massive black cloud has come across. i looked up, that side was on fire and within an hour it had spread all the way to our house. in europe, wildfires rage across the continent after days of excess heat with warnings that there's still worse to come. after weeks of protests on the streets of sri lanka, demonstrators stage a silent protest after parliamentarians pick the country's new president. prices in the uk are rising at their fastest rate for a0 years — inflationjumped to 9.a% injune.
