about it now, a lot of people in the party are talking about the muscular back to one nation conservatism, carrying conservatism and things like that and if, as karen stood in the telegraph, having spoken to people at downing street, bring the story that suggested they are really thinking of changing it, that would sound very bad for the conservatives because it would blow another whole and the repairjob thatjeremy hunt is trying to do and restore the party's credibility because as we all know, pensioners vote and generally, they tend to support the conservative parties and they cannot see how it would be necessary for budgetary and economic reasons so it can in any way hope the party at

of course, gove is having the time of his life and he has stepped out of his life and he has stepped out of ministerial roles and he is still very active in politics and having campaigned for rishi sunak and having had little time for the prime minister, obviously, the prime minister, obviously, the prime minister having worked for him, he knows the prime minister very well and are capable she is and is busily trying to tell us how useless she is as prime minister and for a leading conservative, a man who himself wanted to be prime minister and some people thought he should have been prime minister and is sabotaged borisjohnson's missions to be prime minister, this is quite a role to play and looking at the way the conservative party is behaving, they're behaving like the old labour party used to do. and they step this thing with the new had to manage the economy that they knew how to hold onto power. that seems conservative politicians get the power and don't know what to do with power, which is

an astonishing reversal in the whole nature of british politics. the front of the ft, a great photograph, this is of the iranian climber who was pictured climbing a wall in south korea's part of the competition but not wearing a hijab, tell us about the story. this competition but not wearing a hi'ab, tell us about the storyi tell us about the story. as you see, she competed _ tell us about the story. as you see, she competed in _ tell us about the story. as you see, she competed in the _ tell us about the story. as you see, she competed in the competition i tell us about the story. as you see, l she competed in the competition not wearing _ she competed in the competition not wearing a _ she competed in the competition not wearing a hijab and becoming a poster— wearing a hijab and becoming a poster girl for the movement, the protest _ poster girl for the movement, the protest against the morality police and tehran and she appeared to disappear — and tehran and she appeared to disappear. she was silent on social media _ disappear. she was silent on social media before coming of the statement to say— media before coming of the statement to say that _ media before coming of the statement to say that there had been a mistake

responsibilities to see the reforms we are committed to and i am committed to. british gymnastics has nearly double the size of its safeguarding team hoping to get a grip on the backlog of hundreds of cases that still to be processed and it is today published a a0 point action plan for delivery by 2025. which includes mandatory coach development to prevent recycling of poor practices. clu b club advisory groups to address accusations that it was an insular organisation and an improved compliance management system. the governing body is also close the loophole to mean more rules, including choreographers, physios and masseurs will come under theirjurisdiction and from now on, any coach who is banned will be listed on its website. it would not be able to coach within british gymnastics. this is also part of the wider sport sector reform or we need

to have coaches register. that would stop coaches who were banned in gymnastics to coach other things, for example. this has to be a sport sector wide commitment. bringing legal action against british gymnastics for the abuse they say they suffered in the sport but only one has seen their case settled so far. those involved say the process is taking a serious toll. for many of the gymnasts, this is causing unnecessary this is causing unnecessary and ongoing we will call on british gymnastics teams to make sure the speed up the processing of these claims. british gymnastics is adamant that this is notjust a box ticking exercise and there is a genuine desire to implement a 0—tolerance approach to abuse, but it knows there will be no quick fix to a scandal of the scale. lead trauma as they open the rugby league world cup campaign with a hard—fought victory over new guinea.

very mild weather and parts of temperatures as high as 20 degrees but even though we had sunshine across the north of the uk in scotland, here, it was much cooler with temperatures in shetland just reaching ten degrees and the reason, we had cooler air mass of the need of high pressure and i�*ll be sleeping eastwards to the next few days in this area of low pressure tour southwest really is going to dominate it will be very slow moving and to even more in suitable weather conditions, really, the transition is taking place right now and dressing up of rain arrived with strengthening winds and look at this, towards the start of wednesday morning at the end of the night, temperatures are looking in plymouth or the temperatures are higher than they should be during the middle of the afternoon. let alone the end of the night. to the rest of wednesday, these bands of rain are going to be erratically working their way northwards into the further east as we go to the day, i suspect parts of east anglia northeast england and scotland will stay dry but there will be more cloud around and if you break us any spells in the wind your candidate in the 30s, still very mild and 15 to 19 for england and wales

and temperatures close to a bit below average for scotland and northern ireland. for thursday, another band of rain comes up and this was going to be heavier and some rumbles of thunder as it swings across all the country and this does tend to clear and there could be some further healthy showers arriving later in the day from the south. temperatures still mild and 16 to 19 for england and wales in temperatures raising the bid and northern ireland and still close to efforts is common. on friday, the low pressure still firmly in charge and there will be plenty of showers around potentially merging to get some lengthier spells of rain towards parts of wales, western england and northern ireland closer to that centre of low pressure. but it�*s mild to give a temperature starting to write a little bit in scotland with highs heading to 15 degrees or so to the central belt and at the pressure is stuck with us

for the weekend and it�*s a case of further rain showers, but it does stay on the mild side. that is your latest.
