the fallout from boris johnson's resignation intensifies with the party divided over the future of the former prime minister. a senior cabinet minister says it time to move on. says it's time to move on. i think people both in the conservative party and outside don't miss the drama of it all. what we have got now with rishi sunak in downing street is a getting on with the job. live in ukraine. the counter offensive has gotten under way and the battle in the east and south of the battle in the east and south of the country is intensifying. the battle in the east and south of the country is intensifying. manchester city win the champions�* league and with it the treble. the premier league and fa cup champions beat inter milan 1—0 in the final and this is the scene at the airport in istanbul as the manchester city team prepare to head back to the uk in the next hour.

hello. some breaking news now — and three british tourists are missing following a fire on a boat in the red sea. local authorities say 12 other british tourists have been rescued, following the incident at the egyptian resort of marsa alam. the boat was on a sea cruise, and initial reports suggest the fire resulted from an electric fault. our correspondent sally nabil is in cairo. this newsjust coming in. what more can you tell us, sally? so far the information is sketchy but what we know is that one of the british tourists —— the british to are all in good condition and efforts are under way to search for the three passengers who still

missing. there were 15 british passengers on board this boat that caught fire because of an electric fault, according to the initial report from local sources in the red sea. there were around 30 people on board this boat, including the egyptian crew. the british embassy is here in egypt and is aware of this incident and working to guarantee the safety of all their british nationals involved and we know also that the prosecutor has started an investigation to try and find out what was behind this fire. and the footage we are seeing on social media showed the fire was really huge, so was itjust an electric fault or is there some sort of negligence or poor maintenance on board this boat? we still don't know

yet but this resort is a very famous destination for a lot of british tourists and marsa alam is a berry... it is one of british tourist�*s favourites for snorkelling. it is very bad news for the tourism industry in egypt which depends on british tourists big time so we will wait and see what the local authorities are trying to do about it. ., ., about it. you mentioned there were 30 --eole about it. you mentioned there were 30 peeple on _ about it. you mentioned there were 30 people on board, _ about it. you mentioned there were 30 people on board, around - about it. you mentioned there were 30 people on board, around a - about it. you mentioned there were 30 people on board, around a third| 30 people on board, around a third british. do we know about the others? are there any other people missing? others? are there any other people missin: ? ., ~' ., others? are there any other people missin: ? ., ~ ., ., , missing? no, we know that the rest of those on — missing? no, we know that the rest of those on board _ missing? no, we know that the rest of those on board were _ missing? no, we know that the rest of those on board were egyptian - of those on board were egyptian crew, nearly 30 all in all and everybody has been rescued and all of them are in good condition according to the statement we are getting from local authorities but there are still three british tourists missing and rescue

operations are still under way as far as we know. what we also need to find out is what has happened exactly on this boat and caused a huge fire, because that will discourage many to risk and also many locals from going on similar things that are very popular in this part of the country. we understand they have spent a couple of days in they have spent a couple of days in the sea and they were supposed to go to come back to their hotels today, so investigations to find out the reasons behind this huge fire are important and to send a message of message are reassuring still to resend those working in the tourist industry. 1 resend those working in the tourist indust . . , ., ., industry. i have seen on social media some — industry. i have seen on social media some pictures - industry. i have seen on social media some pictures of- industry. i have seen on social media some pictures of the i industry. i have seen on social. media some pictures of the boat industry. i have seen on social- media some pictures of the boat on fire. had sapphire been put out? and how difficult is this rescue operation to try and find the three that are missing? —— had the fire

will be very careful with what information they will will try to avoid scaring other tourists from heading to marsa alam. so what we know so far is not much but we understand that the authorities are holding an investigation and a rescue operation is being carried out. . ~' , ., , rescue operation is being carried out. ., ~ , . rescue operation is being carried out. ., , . ., ., out. thank you very much. in cairo, the latest on _ out. thank you very much. in cairo, the latest on that _ out. thank you very much. in cairo, the latest on that breaking - out. thank you very much. in cairo, the latest on that breaking story - the latest on that breaking story that british tourists are missing following a fire on a boat in the red sea and we will be following that throughout the day as we get more on that story. back here in the uk, the former prime minister borisjohnson�*s claims that he's the victim of a witch hunt have been rejected by a leading government minister. the energy secretary, grant shapps, says the country wants to "move on" from the political drama surrounding borisjohnson. the former prime minister resigned as an mp in advance of a cross—party report that's expected to find

that he misled parliament. meanwhile, the former conservative cabinet minister, jacob rees—mogg, has warned the party's leadership not to try to block any future attempt by mrjohnson to return to parliament. he says "any attempt to do so could plunge the conservatives into civil war." the committee investigating lockdown parties in downing street is due to meet on monday to finalise its findings. 0ur political correspondent, leila nathoo, gave her anaylsis of the government's initial response to mrjohnson�*s resignation to my colleague samantha simmonds. this is the first time we have heard comprehensively from a cabinet minister about their response, the government's response to borisjohnson�*s explosive resignation letter. a lot of speculation about what boris johnson's next move is going to be. clearly, he left the door open and his resignation said he was leaving parliament for now.

grant shapps was there this morning saying that it was very much a hypothetical situation. he didn't think, he said, that borisjohnson was minded to stand again in another seat, perhaps in a safer seat with a bigger majority, as has been speculated, saying it was a matter for the party. but very much his overriding message on borisjohnson�*s resignation itself was that, look, thank you for your time, boris, but it is time to move on. he was speaking this morning to the bbc. he was asked about whether he agreed with many of the statements boris made in his resignation statement, including that he was a target of a witchhunt. no, i don't think that is true. i really like boris. i work very closely with him, and i actually thought he had many qualities. brexit was completely stuck and he got through that. with the pandemic, he was great with the vaccines, getting this country vaccinated, very good on ukraine. many qualities. but i think people both in the conservative party and outside don't miss the drama of it alt _ what we have got now is rishi sunak in downing street,

getting on with the job. downing street under new management, as it were, getting on with people's priorities. it is an important point — yes or no, do you think borisjohnson is a victim? well, boris has himself decided to step down. that is his own decision. so you are saying he is not a victim? ithink... i read what he said very carefully. he made that decision to step down. he would have been welcome to stay. as i say, a man of many qualities. i think a calmer period is what the country wants and what it is getting with rishi sunak in downing street as well. grant shapps there. he was also asked about another row that had been going on between borisjohnson and rishi sunak about borisjohnson�*s honours list. grant shapps was very clear that number 10 had no involvement in removing any names from that list, but there are suggestions certainly from thejohnson camp that number 10 did not agree with giving peerages to some of borisjohnson�*s

close allies, nadine dorries, for example, who then ultimately did stand down her seat. so a lot of intrigue going on here. labour see this as another example of what they are calling tory chaos. keir starmer writing this morning that rishi sunak has failed to show leadership and end the infighting in the conservative party. the shadow foreign secretary david lammy was also on this morning. what has happened over the last 48 hours is unprecedented. we have a former prime minister crafting a letter undermining the sitting prime minister, and we have got three by—elections brought about, not in the usual way because an mp has passed away or there has been wrong doing, but simply because these mps want to put pressure on the current government. in those circumstances, of course there should be a general election. we are having this conversation in extraordinarily serious times.

inflation is 8.7%, a cost of living crisis squeezing people's weekly budget and we have got war in europe. for all of those reasons our country needs certainty as we head forward over the next two years and that is why we are calling for a general election, and we will put our case to the british people as you would expect. labour calling for a general election. of course, before a general election there will be those three by—elections now triggered by those resignations from boris johnson, nadine dorries and nigel adams. some will be targeted by labour. borisjohnson�*s uxbridge seat has only a 7,000 majority so there will be big electoral tests imminently for rishi sunak, something that he did not want at this point when the party is behind in the polls. this whole episode proves that borisjohnson still has a capacity to be a thorn in rishi sunak�*s side and there is still the potential

for those tory divisions which rishi sunak has so far managed to keep a lid on to once again explode into the open. ukraine says the area covered by flooding in the kherson region as a result of the catastrophic breach of the kakhovka dam has almost halved as the water recedes. the authorities in the city have introduced restrictions on the use of waterfrom the dnipro river, saying flooding of households and sewage facilities means the water is now highly polluted. bathing, fishing and drinking water from the river are prohibited. officials said more than 30 settlements are still flooded and almost 4,000 residential buildings remain under water on the right bank of the river. meanwhile, ukraine's president zelensky has confirmed that his country's counter—offensive against occupying russian forces is under way. my colleague yalda hakim is in kyiv and joins me now. just talk me through what this counter offensive involves. there

has been about _ counter offensive involves. there has been about a _ counter offensive involves. there has been about a week _ counter offensive involves. there has been about a week of - has been about a week of speculation. if the counter offensive on? if so, what does it look like? and as you say, yesterday we were at the press conference where president zelensky confirmed the counter offensive had in fact begun and really the epicentre of it is in the east and the south of the country, but as you mention, the southis country, but as you mention, the south is also devastated by that breach of third dam in kakhovka, but while the emergency services are increasingly becoming distracted by that, they are very much focused on this counter offensive and president zelensky says he speaks to his commanders daily and they are feeling positive and in good spirits. in the last hour or so the 68th brigade of ukraine announced on their facebook page that they had liberated a town in the don the esk

region, north of back most, and you will know from the last month of reporting you will know that it is an important area. the surrounding area is still controlled by ukrainian forces but this village is north of bakhmut. you will remember that from last year which you also saw intense fighting. so that is what is going on with the counter offensive, certain areas that we know fighting is being focused on although ukrainians are keeping their cards close to their chest, giving very little information away. they put out a very slick video in the last few days asking people to be silent soldiers with their fingers on their mouth, saying that we need this to remain quiet. they are shaping things, as the military is describing things, and they focused on duping and very much

distracting russian forces. so while the ukrainians are saying this is a focus —— the area we are focusing on, we really don't know the nature of this fight. both sides are sending all sorts of misinformation. two information. this area in st michael's square, these tanks here were abandoned by the russian army. these were the tanks, at the beginning of the conflict, when we saw a column of tanks on the outskirts of kyiv trying to enter the city, these are the tanks that were captured by the ukrainian forces, they are russian tanks. there are also these bombed out cards just behind there are also these bombed out cardsjust behind me there are also these bombed out cards just behind me that have come from mariupol, another place that was devastated at the beginning of this conflict. it is here in st michael's square that the ukrainian people are given a constant reminder

in the capital of what is going on in the capital of what is going on in the capital of what is going on in the east of the country and the south of the country.— south of the country. thank you very much. south of the country. thank you very much- reporting _ south of the country. thank you very much. reporting from _ south of the country. thank you very much. reporting from kyiv - south of the country. thank you very much. reporting from kyiv for- south of the country. thank you very much. reporting from kyiv for us. i much. reporting from kyiv for us. let's head to france now. residents of the french town of annecy have gathered in support of the victims of thursday's knife attack in which six people were injured. four children — including a british three—year—old — are said to be recovering well in hospital. two adults were also hurt. the crowd paid tribute to those who tried to block the attacker before he was overpowered by police. a 31—year—old syrian man has been charged with attempted murder. donald trump has lashed out at the us justice system in his first appearances since becoming the first former president in history to be indicted on federal charges. he's due to appear in court in miami on tuesday but remains on the campaign trail. he spoke at a republican party convention in the us state of north carolina.

and earlier in georgia he claimed that the federal charges he's facing have actually helped his bid for re—election. 0ur north america correspondent jessica parker reports from north carolina. # it's time we stand and say... he may be due in court on tuesday, but donald trump's not huddled at home with his lawyers, he's out on the stump, insisting he's innocent. the ridiculous and baseless indictment of me by the biden administration's weaponised department of injustice will go down as among the most horrific abuses of power in the history of our country. his next stop, a republican convention in north carolina, where charlie is proud to show her support. i'm trump all the way. doesn't it worry you, though, the accusations? no, it's all manufactured, so they weaponised all of the agencies against him. it's terrible. but... it's like a banana republic.

but there are photographs of boxes, allegedly containing classified documents in his mar—a—lago home, in the bathroom, next to the shower, in his ballroom. wait a minute, this is america. we're not guilty tilli we're proven guilty. it's at his florida home where prosecutors allege donald trump kept classified files, including nuclear and military secrets, and tried to obstruct an inquiry into the missing documents. there are, of course, other candidates in this republican field. one is former vice president mike pence. but he has been reluctant to attack donald trump in this case. there is a fear of alienating the former president's very loyal base. he may be the clear frontrunner but voters have time to browse a growing list of options. do you think the legal baggage

that he has is a problem? i think so. of course, again, i am waiting to hear. certainly a problem with the campaign is going on, i'm sure he would prefer not having it, it might motivate his base as well. the accusations against donald trump are serious and it's not the only legal battle he's facing, but nevertheless, his name is still stamped all over this party. jessica parker, bbc news, greensboro north carolina. let's just take you back to our top story. some breaking news coming from egypt where there are three british tourists missing, following a fire on a boat, and we canjust see pictures of that fire on the boat hurricane. we have had a statement from the governor in the red sea, saying at exactly 9:15am this morning just off the coast of the city of marsa alam there was a fire on a boat with 15 british

passengers on board, ten crew members, two guides and 12 tourists were rescued and there are three missing persons, three missing british people who were on board that boat. 12 others were rescued. that is just some breaking news coming in. the foreign office have said that they are in contact with that local authorities following this incident on board what they call this dive boat near marsa alam, a very popular british tourist resort for british nationals. they say they are supporting the local authorities there. three britons are missing, 12 have been rescued, along with the staff on board that boat. and this just a picture of the fire that broke out on that boat in which those people had to beat rescued,

but three still missing. we will bring any update as soon as we get them. let cross live to istanbul, where we are getting pictures in of the plane carrying the manchester city team that is preparing to head back to the uk. it has just been moving. it looks like it is just about to take off and leave istanbul airport. it is going to be heading to manchester, as their team head to the city to go and take an open bus tour. of course, manchester city, huge went last night and we have been over in istanbul think some of those huge celebrations. very happy manchester city team on board. manchester city team on board. manchester city's long... its focus

developing across many parts of the uk. this was the scene earlier this morning. lovely blue skies. plenty of sunshine and the heat really building across england and wales. some showers across scotland drifting their way northward but as we going to lunch time and this afternoon that chavez will get going across parts of wales, the midlands and southern areas of england. torrential downpours —— the showers will get going. maximum temperature today, perhaps 30 celsius in the south—east. let's concentrate on those showers this evening because they will be torrential. look at the bright colours, the greens. very heavy downpours, hail, gusty winds and localised flooding risks with those showers. they drift westward before further heavy showers move to the west country, south wales, northern areas of devon and cornwall overnight tonight and it could be another uncomfortable night for sleeping. temperatures no lower than

about 11 to 15 or 17 degrees. we start off the new working week on a rather warm note. lots of blue sky, sunshine. the rain clears away from south west wales but like today in the lunchtime and afternoon, heavy and thundery showers developing mainly across the central areas and maximum temperatures remain high. about 23 27 degrees, not as hot in the south—east compared to today. but in the high 20s. monday evening rush hour, torrential rain. tricky conditions across part of it midlands. thunderstorms moving northward into greater manchester, merseyside, north wales in the evening. high pressure dominates through next week. there will be some showers, particularly on monday but it will get drier as we go through the week and we keep that east or south easterly wind, the hot

weather. heatwave criteria across many parts of the uk are we go through next week with maximum temperatures getting up to about 24, 26 or 27 celsius, the risk of some showers and thunderstorms. goodbye.

hello and welcome to political thinking.
