like directness or people do not like directness or bluntness. that is who i am. so that is kemi badenoch, continuing to take questions. many people regard her as the frontrunner in this leadership contest. there are six people going

for this leadership contest. whittling that number down to five, then four, then they go off to the tory party conference and eventually there will be two left in the race. this is kemi badenoch making her case today, the launch of her campaign. interesting there, that question right at the end about her character. she has said a lot about how she is a straight talker how she likes to get things done. she talked about how civil servants sometime stopped doing things she thought she should be able to do. i think her temperament is quite an important part of this. some of her conservative colleagues have said to me they find are quite difficult to deal with. they felt it wasn't just her being a little bit abrasive, they felt that on occasion she was rude, and that was with colleagues, not when she was attacking the

labour party. others will say it is just because she has strong views and wants to get things done. she was talking here about renewal because the conservative party went through a terrible defeat at the last election and said the party has to start looking forward and come up with some new plants and some new thinking to try to appeal to people, particularly to young people. she said the conservatives haven't had anything to offer the younger generation for quite some time. we will be hearing from another candidate later today, james cleverly. candidate later today, james cleverl . , , candidate later today, james cleverl. , , ., candidate later today, james cleverl. , ., ., candidate later today, james cleverl. , , ., ., ., , candidate later today, james cleverl. , ., ., , ., cleverly. this is also going to be a itch cleverly. this is also going to be a pitch from — cleverly. this is also going to be a pitch from him. _ cleverly. this is also going to be a pitch from him. he _ cleverly. this is also going to be a pitch from him. he has— cleverly. this is also going to be a pitch from him. he has been - cleverly. this is also going to be a pitch from him. he has been very| pitch from him. he has been very closely involved with all of the conservative administrations. he originally worked for borisjohnson when he was mayor of london. today he is going to talk specifically about some policies, including the need to get rid of stamp duty. that

is one of the things he thinks should happen. various people are making their pitches this week, some talking in broad principles, and other starting to look at actual specific policies. the other thing worth saying about today is kemi badenoch got an endorsement from claire cortina new, she is a very close ally of rishi sunak. she has had a couple of people coming out this weekend to back. there aren't that many conservative mps left, so all six candidates will be trying to get as many endorsements as they can go wednesday. let get as many endorsements as they can 90 wednesday-— go wednesday. let me “ust take our fears through h go wednesday. let me “ust take our fears through those — go wednesday. let me just take our fears through those candidates. - go wednesday. let me just take our. fears through those candidates. kemi badenoch, james cleverly, priti patel on the far right, tom tugendhat, robertjenrick and also mel stride. we have heard from two other candidates. i wonder if you

could take us briefly through what priti patel had to say last week. she is seen as somebody who could have a lot of popularity with the conservative grassroots. she is another one who has been at the heart of many of the conservative administrations. she has been talking about the threats from nigel farage and reformed uk. that is really uppermost in a lot of the candidate? mines. some of them and how they approach this field that may be the conservative party has got to move more towards what nigel farage thinks, maybe bring him into the fold. they are all trying to work out how they appealed to those many millions of voters who didn't back the conservatives last time round. ., ., ., , back the conservatives last time round. ., ., .,, ., back the conservatives last time round. ., ., ., ,

that the conservative party has been associated, and a strongest supporters come from the older population, and from pensioners in particular. he has talked about how the party is going to have to come up the party is going to have to come up with something to offer our younger generation. with so many not able to get on the housing ladder, he has talked about house—building and what the party needs to do there. that has been one of the main things he has talked about. all of them would talk about having lower taxes, about a smaller state, we heard kemi badenoch saying that the state should really be doing fewer things, but trying to do them better. she interestingly said that the conservative party has talked rights, but governed left. she and a lot of the others will be talking about lower state spending. iz�*icki about lower state spending. vicki younu , about lower state spending. vicki young. thank _ about lower state spending. vicki young, thank you _ about lower state spending. vicki young, thank you very _ about lower state spending. vicki young, thank you very much indeed.

robertjenrick will be speaking in about half an hour and will bring that to you. in the meantime, the uk government has promised to into the problems colts caused by so—called dynamic pricing of tickets. the practice — which allows official ticket sellers to inflate prices when demand is high — will now be included in a planned consultation on protecting fans from ticket touts. it comes after millions of people tried to buy oasis tickets over the weekend — as leigh milner reports. first came the hype. when both come together, you have greatness. then the disappointment. millions of oasis fans spent saturday morning battling lengthy online queues and technical glitches in the hope of bagging tickets to next year's reunion gigs.

many of those who did get through then faced another hurdle. tickets costing hundreds of pounds more than expected thanks to so—called dynamic pricing. that's when high demand pushes up costs, a practice more commonly seen on taxi hailing apps or airline websites. the cheapest tickets were between 70 and 205, i think, which you can kind of sort of, well, yeah, ok, that's not too bad. but then the only ones that were available were the platinum, so it was like £500. we didn't want to pay that so, um, no. so we're not going. # tonight i'm a rock and roll star. the government had already pledged a consultation to tackle ticket touting. that's the resale of tickets by secondary vendors. # so maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me. now it says it will add dynamic

pricing, which is done by the primary vendors, to that consultation. this must be welcome news. dynamic pricing was an odious business product that was brought overfrom north america and really does disadvantage a significant number of consumers. it's vitally important that government actually understands how this industry works, not just what they're told by ticket companies. # you gotta roll with it, you gotta take your time. the society of ticket agents and retailers has stressed that ticket prices are set by artists and their management. whoever�*s responsible, music fans will be hoping prices come down. leigh milner, bbc news. the wreck of the titanic was found 39 years ago — more than 70 years after it sank on its maiden voyage. but the latest expedition to the wreck—site has revealed

the liner�*s slow decay with the famous bow now changed forever. the expedition involved underwater robots and our science editor, rebecca morelle, was given exclusive access to the video they brought back. instantly recognisable, the bow of titanic looming out of the darkness of the depths of the atlantic. this footage was recorded in 2010 and you can see the railing on the deck is rusting but still intact. but a new expedition has discovered a large section is now missing. our view of titanic has changed forever. with all the anticipation coming up on the bow, we were so excited. and then there's a moment of wait a minute, something's not right, and we could see that whole section of railing on the port side was gone. it's just iconic to see the bow of titanic. that's what you think of when you think of the shipwreck. um, and it doesn't look like that any more. i'm flying. the story of titanic has been told many times, but this famous scene in the 1997 film fixed this part of the ship

in all of our minds. titanic was on her maiden voyage from southampton to new york in 1912, when she hit an iceberg and sank. 1,500 people lost their lives. after more than 100 years at the bottom of the ocean, the liner is gradually being lost to the sea. microbes are eating away at the ship, creating stalactites of rust, and sea life is colonising the wreck. the team has been analysing how titanic is decaying. they used laser scans to study the bow. the section of railing that's gone was about li.5m long, and it was lost at some point in the last two years. and you can see it here lying on the sea floor next to the ship where it fell. the expedition spent 20 days in the north atlantic using two underwater robots to image the wreck site. they focused on the debris field where items from the ship spilled out as the liner split in two.

and this is one remarkable discovery found amongst the thousands of artefacts. a bronze statue called the diana of versailles that once adorned the first class lounge. the centrepiece of that room was this bronze statue. unfortunately for diana, when titanic split in two, the lounge got ripped open. and in the chaos and the destruction, um, diana got ripped off her mantle and she landed in the darkness by herself in the debris field. and the odds of finding it are just truly unbelievable. these latest pictures are a reminder that the wreck is decaying. titanic is slowly returning to nature. rebecca morelle, bbc news. we will be back at the top of the

hello from the bbc sport centre. the premier league takes a breather for the first international break of the season, but it could be an uncomfortable one for the manchester united manager erik ten hag after a humbling 3—0 defeat to liverpool at old trafford. three games into the season they are in the bottom half of the table with just one win. he says he needs time to rebuild the team. as for arne slot, it's been a dream start at liverpool — three wins and no goals conceded. i don't want to talk about positives. i don't want to take defeat. . we will be fine, but it
