his is bbc news. this is bbc news. the headlines the votes are in — the race to become the next prime minister comes to a close. the winner will be announced on monday. a review finds that the london mayor wrongly ousted the former met police commissioner dame cressida dick — thought intimidated after the ultimatum from the mayor of london argentina's vice—president narrowly avoids assassination after a gunman�*s weapon jams

mississippi are told to close their mouths and they have a shower after floods contaminate the water supply. coming up later in the hour, they start in the forgiven, find out what mark thinks of that and the rest of the week's big releases in the film review at 545. hello and welcome to bbc news. after weeks of debate, the conservative party leadership contest has come to an end. on monday, the country will know who will takeover as prime minister — rishi sunak or liz truss. it's been an often bitter contest, lasting almost two months. whoever wins, faces an agenda that includes a cost of living crisis and soaring energy bills. our political correspondent

helen catt reports. good evening, thank you. it's fantastic to be here. for weeks, liz truss and rishi sunak have toured the country. good evening, it's fantastic to be here. here in darlington... it's fantastic to be here... here, in eastbourne. gosh, it's fantastic to be here... in birmingham. racking up miles, and, they hope, votes from conservative party members. i think liz truss is the right candidate for the job, - she has a bold economic plan. i do hope rishi will make a comeback. between them they've made dozens of policy pledges. what i will do from day one is reduce taxes. i'm the candidate in this contest who can say the nhs will be safe in my hands. on monday we'll find out which of them will have to deliver on their promises.

liz truss is the favourite but it's a grim picture waiting for whoever wins. look, i think we are going to have so many challenges over the coming weeks from the high cost of inflation to the lower value of the pound, we still have challenges from brexit, for many small companies as well. we have so many ongoing issues, so a support package needs to be put in place immediately. the current chancellor, nadhim zahawi, is drawing up plans to present to the new prime minister. they include measures such as targeted reductions in vat and business rates. both candidates have pledged more support for households. this contest is happening because conservative mps no longer believed that borisjohnson should be in office and one of the things that contributed to that was his handling of covid rule—breaking in downing street. despite stepping down as prime minister, he still faces an inquiry from a committee of mps into whether he misled parliament with what he said about that. today, a leading lawyer has issued advice commissioned

by the prime minister saying the proposed process is fundamentally flawed. lord pannick said a decision by the committee, backed by its own lawyer, that it doesn't need proof mrjohnson intended to mislead would devalue the currency of contempt and would be likely to have a chilling effect on ministerial comments in the house. there's not going to be any chilling effect, absolute nonsense. the only thing i'd like to stress is wouldn't it be nice if ministers were a bit careful about telling the truth when they came to the house of commons? downing street is getting ready for a change of occupier. one thing is certain — there will be no quiet settling in for the new prime minister. our political correspondent ione wells joines me now. peter cardwell. a deputy with us. who do you think

is one? i a deputy with us. who do you think is one? ~ a deputy with us. who do you think isone? ~ , .,,.,_ a deputy with us. who do you think isone? _, a deputy with us. who do you think isone? is one? i think probably micro by uuite a is one? i think probably micro by quite a margin- _ is one? i think probably micro by quite a margin. i _ is one? i think probably micro by quite a margin. i would - is one? i think probably micro by quite a margin. i would be - is one? i think probably micro by . quite a margin. i would be surprised if she doesn't win by two thirds to one third at least, she has been a runaway success in this election and it is going very well for her and quite badly for rishi sunak. whatever you think of the candidates, it is tracked on for almost two months. in your view is that too long a period of time and when this party is in government, without a government the people have accused of being a zombie government that cannot make decisions there's been a certain amount of paralysis because his leadership contest is been under way. this because his leadership contest is been under way.— been under way. this but a lot of frustration _ been under way. this but a lot of frustration especially _ been under way. this but a lot of frustration especially the - been under way. this but a lot of frustration especially the cost. been under way. this but a lot of frustration especially the cost of| frustration especially the cost of living presence that it's gotten worse and within two months of inflation going up in various other problems. i think it's been good for the conservative members and those people motivated enough to spend

this for the political party has actually proved these candidates. the general election, that's from five weeks and they generally know the candidates quite well. they were known, the foreign secretary for a long time chancellor and rishi sunak, by the same time, they are not put under the same scrutiny as a member of the opposition of current prime minister would've been. i think it's a good thing that they've had a long time to have a proper debate within the conservative party. debate within the conservative pa . �* ., ., ., party. but having said that, of the oinion party. but having said that, of the opinion polls _ party. but having said that, of the opinion polls are _ party. but having said that, of the opinion polls are to _ party. but having said that, of the opinion polls are to be _ party. but having said that, of the opinion polls are to be believed, l opinion polls are to be believed, devon changed it all or barely changed. mostly people have made up their minds the beginning and have not changed their minds and a lot of people and maybe most people voted very early on in this contest. people i spoke to on wednesday night seem to go very well for rishi sunak, the final of 12 hustings in london and there were still voting right up until the last and those

who are members of the conservative party want to see the candidates enough and want to breathe the same air as may be in the same room and perhaps even ask them a question themselves and so, there's a real desire in your member of the political party choosing the leader of the party to really engage in the process it has taken a long time but we will get the answer on monday and as you say, totally correct, and we know almost certainly what that answer is going to be. find know almost certainly what that answer is going to be. and when is when he went _ answer is going to be. and when is when he went to _ answer is going to be. and when is when he went to be _ answer is going to be. and when is when he went to be a _ answer is going to be. and when is when he went to be a poisoned - when he went to be a poisoned chalice because wherever it is, liz truss is going to have an entry that is bulging with a nightmare. rising energy costs going to the roof and energy costs going to the roof and energy prices and inflation and the double figures. and the war in ukraine and so on and so on, it's a really difficult time to be a prime minister. ., �* ., , , minister. you're absolutely right and this person _ minister. you're absolutely right and this person probably - minister. you're absolutely righti and this person probably doesn't have a hundred days most prime

minister staff i think there about ten or 20 days to really make an impression and announce something major in terms of the cost of living crisis and i think the starting for the 2024 election starts on tuesday or wednesday as well because the very short time for leader and liz truss has been on the more experienced ministers to really make an impact and i think people will be looking for dramatic and serious moves in the cost of living. it's interesting with liz truss as well because she has campaigned to the base of the conservative party members as someone who wants to be a right wing economists wants to cut taxes but at the same time, she will be forced into socialistic actions like giving money to people who just cannot pay their energy bills. whether or not you can actually govern in the same way the cheese campaign remains to be seen they'll be a big test for her.— be a big test for her. thank you very much- _

cressida dick was wrong and did not followed due process and it was unjustifiably politically brutal and for anybody to be removed injust an hour and toward resigned like this is just unacceptable and the strong language goes on and on. essentially saying that there was a way for sadiq khan to get rid of dame cressida dick but it required a more thought through and link the process then just eventually on one weekday afternoon saying, you've got an hour, you resign or i'm going to go up hour, you resign or i'm going to go up publicly and say they have lost confidence in you. he up publicly and say they have lost confidence in you.— up publicly and say they have lost confidence in you. he persuaded her to resin. confidence in you. he persuaded her to resign- the _ confidence in you. he persuaded her to resign. the way _ confidence in you. he persuaded her to resign. the way it _ confidence in you. he persuaded her to resign. the way it was _ confidence in you. he persuaded her to resign. the way it was phrased i to resign. the way it was phrased was often around _ to resign. the way it was phrased was often around the _ to resign. the way it was phrased was often around the word - was often around the word resignation. tom windsor has chosen to choose the language of her being forced to step down. that is the language that he's used because he did not feel she had resigned. he

felt she had been put in a position where she had to step down otherwise her position was effectively going to be made untenable by sadiq khan going publicly and saying that he no longer had confidence in her. sadiq khan has said, and very strong terms that he believes that sir tom windsor is clearly biased and is made a series of allegations of sir tom windsor having previously followed conservative policies, supported politicians and a supporter of dame cressida dick in saying that he was the wrong person to conduct this review and i to say that sadiq khan didn't really do himself any favours because he basically didn't take part in the review which started in april we saw a draught report in august and then decided at that point he want to take part in it. so, sir tom windsor felt that sadiq khan had really been involved in this. the

being played out. they strongly feel that piece chiefs need to be found competent position and allowed to be getting on with the job in getting on with thejob in not worried at all times of the winged beasts sacked at any moment. irate worried at all times of the winged beasts sacked at any moment. we will beasts sacked at any moment. we will be talkin: beasts sacked at any moment. we will be talking to the _ beasts sacked at any moment. we will be talking to the former— beasts sacked at any moment. we will be talking to the former greater - be talking to the former greater manchester chief constables a bit later on. not to the united states. in the last few minutes, according to the list, agents took 33 boxes of documents and they include dozens of empty folders that were marked classified. it also revealed several documents marked secret and top—secret were recovered from donald trump's office. intriguing stuff and let's get more on it from gary o'donoghue. we are waiting to

find out the real reason for this raid on his estate in florida. does the shed more light on it, gary? irate the shed more light on it, gary? we had the shed more light on it, gary? - had some idea for the took on august the 8th but at this level of detail what rid of the former president insisted that all of the stuff had been handed back previously and that it wasn't safe storage patrons of theirs 27 documents in his office alone that were ranging from confidential to top—secret. they were not stored in a proper way, they're mixed in with newspapers, books, otherfiles they're mixed in with newspapers, books, other files and articles of clothing mixed up and all the stuff. so, they'll was taken from his office there are 43 empty folders marked classified. the question is where was the stuff that was in those going? in the storage room, they found dozens more secret and top—secret documents that they took away. the interesting thing as well

is, one of the reasons why the fbi got the search warrant is because they said there was evidence of obstruction and they were not getting the material that already been demanded under subpoena and thatis been demanded under subpoena and that is why they had to search the place and if this stuff was also in the presence of office rather than in some kind of storage unit for some and a responsibility to look after it, and that question of obstruction takes the inquiry closer to the former president. iloathed obstruction takes the inquiry closer to the former president.— to the former president. what are the rules on _ to the former president. what are the rules on the _ to the former president. what are the rules on the president - to the former president. what are the rules on the president leaves| the rules on the president leaves office in here she is not supposed to take lots of classified top—secret documents home with them. no, they are belong to the state what is meant to happen is that they're all meant to the national archives they did get some the stuff back that had been taken from the white house straight down to florida where he left the white house at the beginning of 2021 and the got 15

boxes of it and that's what really sparkle fbi inquiry singing on a minute, there's little stuff in here that's top—secret, including defence information and stuff relating to the president of france as well which we still haven't found out what that was and so, that is what sparked these subpoenas, they do not produce what they knew were still there and that the search for this extra stuff in the former president is now looking for some judicial oversights because he says half of the stuff is protected by attorney—client privilege. you may it that the next day or so is a retired judge looks over the documents and says with a sheet of taking in what they should not have taken, that could delay the whole investigation significantly but bear investigation significantly but bear in mind, this is a criminal inquiry. thank you very much for bringing us up—to—date on that. let's take you back to politics here in the uk. in

the race for the next prime minister. voting is finished at five o'clock. the political correspondent can join us o'clock. the political correspondent canjoin us now. we o'clock. the political correspondent can join us now. we obviously do o'clock. the political correspondent canjoin us now. we obviously do not know who the winner is we do not find that out until monday. but this is been a very long and pretty brutal campaign at times. this is been weeks _ brutal campaign at times. this is been weeks and _ brutal campaign at times. this is been weeks and weeks - brutal campaign at times. this is been weeks and weeks of - brutal campaign at times. this is been weeks and weeks of a - brutal campaign at times. this is| been weeks and weeks of a pretty divided conservative party with still only just over divided conservative party with still onlyjust over half the mps that are publicly declared who they are backing and sang their backing liz truss over those who said they will be back in rishi sunak, those after all of this is over when they have two very different sets of economic plant conditions for the economy going forward. we do not yet know who won the contest and the result will be announced on monday around lunchtime and the nexus of party leader on tuesday, we will

have a speech from the outgoing prime minister and then, he and the new prime minister will go see the queen and we expect that the new prime minister will be giving a speech later that afternoon on tuesday after that, essentially it is up to them how quickly they start to get the motions of the new government in action will expect the new cabinet to be appointed and of course, the first prime minister is questions on wednesday with our new prime minister than.— prime minister than. meanwhile boris johnson is prime minister than. meanwhile boris johnson is prime _ prime minister than. meanwhile boris johnson is prime minister _ prime minister than. meanwhile boris johnson is prime minister until- johnson is prime minister until tuesday, news of the commons investigation into whether or not he misled parliament. this investigation into whether or not he misled parliament.— misled parliament. this is been a bi sto misled parliament. this is been a big story today — misled parliament. this is been a big story today and _ misled parliament. this is been a big story today and the _ misled parliament. this is been a i big story today and the governments where that they've hired has decided or called this investigation and whether boris johnson or called this investigation and whether borisjohnson misled mps of what he knew about downing street parties lord and the reason why they

said this is a flawed process in his view is that he says it is not fair that this process doesn't have to prove whether or not borisjohnson intentionally misled mps and are simply determining whether or not he did mislead mps over what he knew about downing street parties and this where been appointed by the government has criticised and also criticise the fact that people would be able to give evidence anonymously to this to this investigation. this investigation is significant because its cross party committee of mps will be investigating whether or not borisjohnson will be investigating whether or not boris johnson misled will be investigating whether or not borisjohnson misled mps avoiding about downing street parties and if that committee decides to recommend a sanction like a suspension, this could have very serious repercussions for the current prime minister seemed to not be prime minister seemed to not be prime minister borisjohnson and could evenif minister borisjohnson and could even if he was suspended for long enough, certainly lead to the by election in his seat and i think where the key things as well is the political context of this is going

to bring with it for the next minister because any prime minister may determine necessary or recommended would go to a vote in the house of commons and if that is the house of commons and if that is the case, how the new prime minister may decide to tell conservative mps to vote in such a vote. in either way, this could be potentially controversial if any prime minister decided if borisjohnson should be able to vote for that, than certainly that can lead some tensions of some of borisjohnson supporters if they did not, they can face accusations of trying to protect someone who has been found to have been in contempt of parliament and so lots of difficult decisions of the next prime minister will also have to face when grappling with this particular investigation. president biden has accused his predecessor, donald trump, of damaging democracy and encouraging political violence.

in a hard—hitting speech, mr biden warned that the american way of life — and even america's "soul" — is under threat. donald trump has responded by saying president biden must be "insane, orsuffering from late stage dementia!" our north america correspondent peter bowes reports. a historic setting for a speech that pulled no punches, a prime—time address from philadelphia, the birthplace of american democracy. a way of life thatjoe biden says is under threat from donald trump and his supporters. we must be honest with each other and with ourselves. too much of what's happening in our country today is not normal. donald trump and the maga republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. it was a full—throated attack on the former president and the campaign donald trump calls "make america great again". maga forces are determined to take

this country backwards, backwards to an america where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love. mr biden lashed out at those supporters of donald trump that "fan the flames of political violence", the mob that stormed the united states capitol. the speech reflected recent comments by the president where he's described the maga philosophy as semi—fascism. history tells us that blind loyalty to a single leader and a willingness to engage in political violence is fatal to democracy. it's just over two months before americans go to the polls to elect new members of congress. this wasjoe biden setting out his stall for what could be a vicious campaign. i will not stand by and watch, i will not... ..the will of the american people be overturned by wild conspiracy

theories and baseless evidence—free claims of fraud. i will not stand by and watch elections in this country stolen by people who simply refuse to accept that they lost. it was a dark message focused on his political opponent, butjoe biden also said he had never been more optimistic about america's future. we are onlyjust beginning, he said. but was it enough to win over some of donald trump's supporters? i have to say, i think biden put himself in a difficult position here, because he's making a bet that the roughly 35% of americans who still believe in this lie that the 2020 election was stolen will never vote for him anyway, so he doesn't need their votes and he can go all—in on this maga republican message. the scene is set for a midterm election campaign like no other, with huge consequences for donald trump's republicans and joe biden's presidency. peter bowes, bbc news.

thirds of all americans believe that our democracy is in danger of collapsing and that includes but the majority of democrats and republicans. this is serious stuff. a big if, donald trump runs against the white house, he would be in with a good chance of winning? he the white house, he would be in with a good chance of winning?— a good chance of winning? he would have a good — a good chance of winning? he would have a good chance _ a good chance of winning? he would have a good chance of _ a good chance of winning? he would have a good chance of winning - a good chance of winning? he would have a good chance of winning the i have a good chance of winning the nomination, assuming that he's not found guilty of various charges and there are so many investigations going on about donald trump and has stayed to see which ones will come to flour before 2024. but if he runs, if he can run if he does run, he will be the favourite, may be the heavy favourite for the republican nomination but that is the nomination. that is very different from the general election.

more than 100 countries have seen risks from civil unrest increase, during the past three months. the warning comes as the world is trying to come to terms with rising costs of energy and food. it's feared things could be further exacerbated by recession and political instability. the risk intelligence company behind the study says it expects the severity and frequency of civil unrest to increase throughout next year. here with me now is torbjorn soltvedt, who is a principal analyst at the risk intelligence company, verisk maplecroft. what do we mean by civil unrest? moment talk about civil unrest, it can be a very broad range, ranging from action strikes and from one end of the spectrum to the more serious events like looting, rioting, even attempts to overthrow the government on the more extreme end of the

england's star cricketer jonny bairstow will miss the rest of the summer season and crucially the whole of next month's t20 world cup after injuring his leg in a golfing accident. he slipped walking whilst playing golf and has a suspected broken leg. jonathan, thank you for your time. what happened ? what happened? he was playing golf of yellow it was an absolute freak accident. of yellow it was an absolute freak accident- it _ of yellow it was an absolute freak accident. it looks _ of yellow it was an absolute freak accident. it looks to _ of yellow it was an absolute freak accident. it looks to be _ of yellow it was an absolute freak accident. it looks to be what - of yellow it was an absolute fe— accident. it looks to be what johnny accident. it looks to be whatjohnny bairstow has done. he slipped and it looks to be a serious injury. one that will probably kick him out for the rest of the year, so that's not only the t20, but the world cup. it also means the test series in pakistan just before christmas as well. he's going to see a specialist next week, but he's got pretty

gloomy news. you do all that you possibly can and you get an accident like that, and it's desperately sad for him because he's had the year of his life. he scored over 1000 rounds. could say he more than anybody has embraced and probably benefited from this new approach. just that liberation and the backing to go out and just be yourself. no one's benefited more than that then johnny bairstow, so it's a crying shame for him and it's ridiculous that a season and probably a year in which he's played so well should end like this. he which he's played so well should end like this. ,_, ,., ., like this. he scored something of 1,000 runs. _ like this. he scored something of 1,000 runs. who's _ like this. he scored something of 1,000 runs. who's going - like this. he scored something of 1,000 runs. who's going to - like this. he scored something of l 1,000 runs. who's going to replace him? jason roy has been dropped from the t20 world cup, but presumably that won't make any difference. that

up the world t20 side. but for now, it's all about the test match and i suspect brooke will come in. jonathan, thank you very much for your time on that update. we'll know the line up for tomorrow's hundred finals day soon as first the southern brave and trent rockets battle it out in southampton in the women's competition then the men follow. the southern brave have just won against rent rockets. trent rockets hit three sixes in a row to seal it with the last ball. southern brave will go through tomorrow. we've run out of time and now it's time to hand back. lizzie, thanks very much indeed. let's return now to one of our main stories — the review criticising the mayor of london, sadiq khan, for the role he played in bringing about the resignation of the former

metropolitan police commissioner, dame cressida dick. the report found that due process was not followed, and that some of the behaviour of the mayor's office had been "unjustifiably politically brutal". well, let's speak now to the former chief constable of greater manchester, sir peter fahy, for his view on this story. do you think cressida dick was badly treated by the mayor of london? it treated by the mayor of london? h was certainly him not following the procedure. the history is back around 2010. the system of police and prime commissioners was put in place under theresa may, and that replace the previous police authorities that had either 17 or 19 members. it was realised that you didn't want a situation that a single politician would make a decision to get rid of a constable or commissioner. the inevitable situations when police and crime commissioner had lost confidence in

their commissioner, and the trouble is in this case, the procedure was not followed. but is in this case, the procedure was not followed.— is in this case, the procedure was not followed. but he didn't actually fire her, not followed. but he didn't actually fire her. she _ not followed. but he didn't actually fire her, she did _ not followed. but he didn't actually fire her, she did resign. _ not followed. but he didn't actually fire her, she did resign. he - not followed. but he didn't actually fire her, she did resign. he may. fire her, she did resign. he may have forced her to, but he didn't fire her. ., , ~' have forced her to, but he didn't fire her. ., , ,, �* , fire her. know, but i think it's disappointing- _ fire her. know, but i think it's disappointing. the _ fire her. know, but i think it's disappointing. the reaction i fire her. know, but i think it'sj disappointing. the reaction to fire her. know, but i think it's- disappointing. the reaction to not deal with that. —— no. disappointing. the reaction to not dealwith that. —— no. she criticised sir tom is being biased, which i think is wrong. i think it's a problem, the suggestion that warmer public servants are now biased or favourable towards conservatives. reallyjust shows biased or favourable towards conservatives. really just shows the difficult position that policing is now in. we don't really want chief constables, who have a very important position, we don't want a situation where a politician can decide on their fate. that is why there is this protocol. this is not with she did a good or bad job, it's

the mayor had those concerns and there was a protocol to be followed, and just by saying he no longer had confidence publicly, it put her in an impossible position. he confidence publicly, it put her in an impossible position.- an impossible position. he was sa in: he an impossible position. he was saying he was _ an impossible position. he was saying he was doing _ an impossible position. he was saying he was doing his - an impossible position. he was saying he was doing his job, i an impossible position. he was| saying he was doing his job, but an impossible position. he was - saying he was doing his job, but you saying he was doing hisjob, but you think there's too much politics? yes, it's a really important principle. a single politician can't make that decision. as i say, it will be inevitable that there will be situations where it's viewed that the chief constable is not doing a good job and there is a very clear procedure. in the danger here is that the police and crime commissioner did not like the way that the chief constable was dealing with a particular protest or particular difficult issue or type of crime, that is why this safeguard is in place. it may be viewed that

thatis is in place. it may be viewed that that is no longer appropriate. the images that are per trade... and things like the media pressure, but what we've seen since the system came into place is a huge turnover of chief constables. i was one for 13 years, and the average is now four five years. there are 82 vacancies at the moment. the service does not have the continuity that it needs in terms of long—term future, and that is contributing to some of the concerns the public has at the moment. this is an important principle, and it's disappointing that the mayor office did not address that principle. but instead chose to question the independence of the person who wrote the report. very interesting perspective. thank

you so much, peter fahy. a would—be assassin named a loaded gun at the president of argentina. he held a weapon a few inches from her head, but somehow, no shots were fired. it seems the weapon jams. police have arrested a 35—year—old brazilian man and are trying to establish a motive. it was the closest of shaves. argentina's vice president, cristina fernandez de kirchner, was greeting supporters outside her home in buenos aires when a gunman emerged from the crowd. with the gun just inches from her face, fortune was on her side — the weapon failed to fire, leaving the former president shaken but unharmed. in a televised address later, the current president said the gun

was loaded and the trigger had been pulled. translation: cristina is alive - because of a reason that has not yet technically been confirmed. the gun had five bullets but did not fire, despite being triggered. a man believed to be of brazilian origin, fernando montiel, was arrested at the scene. police say they have yet to identify a motive, with no suggestion the attack is linked to corruption charges cristina fernandez de kirchnerfaces from her time as president. she is accused of fraudulently awarding public works contracts in her stronghold of patagonia. politicians from across the region have condemned the assassination attempt and warned that hate has no place in the national debate. keith adams, bbc news. extraordinary story there from argentina. now it's time for the film review.
