putin. just want to bring you a of breaking news. the conversation between president biden and benjamin netanyahu for that the still image we got from the israelis, security team around him. were told that kamala harris was on this call. not much in the readout from the white house that would surprise you. the president says that he condemns unequivocally the rams ballistic missile attack against the israelis. he said the leaders discussed the urgent need to diplomacy to release the hostages. that cease—fire negotiation which the americans were leading is now at an end. the president
9:31 pm
saying that it should be restarted. he also discussed the imperative of getting people back to the north of gaza. we told you in the last hour there's a huge operation on the ja palyer refugee camp. they agreed to remain in close contact over the coming days. most directly through their national security teams. that was interesting because we're waiting for that response to the iranian ballistic missile attack. note mentioned that in the readout from the white house. you're up to speed with that. it has been said before, that the parliamentary conservative party, is the most duplicitous electorate in the country. but even by their standards, no one was quite predicting the kind of outcome we got this afternoon, in the final ballot to decide which of the leadership candidates would go through to a vote of the membership. three were remaining. in the penultimate round it was james cleverly out in front and highly fancied after
9:32 pm
an encouraging few days at the party conference. but in the final round this afternoon. cleverly had dropped from first to third and was eliminated. and jumping third to first was kemi badenoch. the tory party members will now get their vote on the final two — the result to be announced on second november. if ever there were a lesson not to count your chickens that was ed's. reporting tonight he knows what's going on. he thinks that robert generally lent his votes to james cleverly to get rid of tom to kinard, do you believe back it certainly looks like somebody has been not quite straight about how their votes are being used, whether was today or yesterday. it used, whether was today or yesterday-— yesterday. it has been difficult _ yesterday. it has been difficult for _ yesterday. it has been difficult for the - yesterday. it has been difficult for the tories | yesterday. it has been i difficult for the tories do manage to surprise everybody by doing the thing that they really shouldn't do, which is picking to call the two candidates on the right of the party who perhaps are in line with their party members
9:33 pm
further from the public. with their party members furtherfrom the public. the next stage is going to be... it'll be interesting to see if it's a competition of who can be more on the right, who can push farther, the more extreme in their views or whether whaen will take the initiative to moderate and perhaps pitch more to the centre of the conservative party where james cleverly was. i don't know how closely you watch this but the interesting aspect was they rejected, i think we could call james cleverly more from the centre and they picked two candidates to speak to the right of the party. there's been a similar battle in your party. the party in the primaries doesn't necessarily pick the people that the country wants.— pick the people that the count wants. �*, . ,. ., country wants. it's fascinating to listen to — country wants. it's fascinating to listen to you _ country wants. it's fascinating to listen to you and _ country wants. it's fascinating to listen to you and liz - to listen to you and liz because i have not followed at this closely. as i listened to liz it — this closely. as i listened to liz it is_ this closely. as i listened to liz it is perfectly analogous as to — liz it is perfectly analogous as to what we have been increasingly going through in this country in both parties
9:34 pm
but most _ this country in both parties but most pronounced in the republican party. there is no way— republican party. there is no way a — republican party. there is no way a moderate or centrist republican can win a republican primary — republican can win a republican primary. two and a republican primary— primary. two and a republican primary you've got to be as far over_ primary you've got to be as far over to — primary you've got to be as far over to the _ primary you've got to be as far over to the right or now as much _ over to the right or now as much in _ over to the right or now as much in love with donald trump as you — much in love with donald trump as you can— much in love with donald trump as you can be to win. so the party— as you can be to win. so the party tends to nominate those candidates and many of those lose _ candidates and many of those lose in — candidates and many of those lose in the general election. same — lose in the general election. same problem. do lose in the general election. same problem.— lose in the general election. same problem. do you think the 've same problem. do you think they've picked _ same problem. do you think they've picked those - same problem. do you think they've picked those two - they've picked those two candidates because there is this question over reform and how the party is going to approach the threat from nigel farage? i approach the threat from nigel fara . e? ~ , approach the threat from nigel faraae? ~' , _ farage? i think they possibly have. there _ farage? i think they possibly have. there is _ farage? i think they possibly have. there is something - farage? i think they possiblyl have. there is something that normally happens when you look at labour and tory history when they lost an election. the first person they picked to lead the election tends to be a person that speaks of the party base, more to the right literary case left a labour case. that person generally doesn't survive until a general erection or does not win it.
9:35 pm
the party will be the happiness dues happiest with the result and the conservatives will be labour who got there own troubles, looking at difficulty. they would prefer to see it kemi badenoch or robertjenrick than they would have james cleverly. the liberal democrats who could mop up liberal democrats who could mop up centrist tories will also be quite pleased with this. it suggests that conservative infighting is probably not over. that's what they would've hoped this election would be able to do. hoped this election would be able to de— hoped this election would be able to do. ., , ., ., able to do. you see that on the ri . ht able to do. you see that on the riaht and able to do. you see that on the right and so — able to do. you see that on the right and so many _ able to do. you see that on the right and so many places - able to do. you see that on the right and so many places at - able to do. you see that on the j right and so many places at the moment. it is asjoe says analogous to so many other countries. there's been an almighty row in the european parliament today. prime minister viktor orb n was in town, as hungary prepares to take over the rotating 6 month presidency of the council of the eu. but before he had arrived in strasbourg, orb n had been on a self—declared peace mission to moscow, beijing and washington, claiming, without authorisation, to be there representing the eu. the european commission
9:36 pm
president, ursula von der leyen, says orban like trump is bending over to appease vladimir putin. and she reminded him of hungary's recent history. there are still some who blame this war. not on the invader, but the invaded. there are still some who blame this war not on putin's lust for power, but on ukraine's thirst forfreedom. so i want to ask them, would they ever blame the hungarians for the soviet invasion in 1956? and not only ursula von der leyen. here's the dutch mep gerbenjan gebrandy. i sometimes watch bad movies, and one of them is austin powers, and i've seen it several times. and i'm sure mr orban, you've seen it even more times than i do. after all, you're in it. no, not as doctor evil,
9:37 pm
who could easily be based on mr putin or donald trump. no, more like the infamous mini—me who looks, talks and acts exactly like doctor evil but just sits on his lap. well, victor orban someone donald trump looks up to. the european parliament has been criticised for being too soft when it comes to human rights, rule of law in hungary but not today. some might say not before time.— today. some might say not before time. it's about damn time! bravo, _ before time. it's about damn time! bravo, bravo! - before time. it's about damn time! bravo, bravo! 0h - before time. it's about damn time! bravo, bravo! oh my. before time. it's about damn - time! bravo, bravo! oh my god, iwant— time! bravo, bravo! oh my god, lwant to— time! bravo, bravo! oh my god, i want to hear kamala harris speak— i want to hear kamala harris speak that way. i want to hear american _ speak that way. i want to hear american politicians who oppose donald _ american politicians who oppose donald trump speak that way. just call— donald trump speak that way. just call it what it is. donald trump is _ just call it what it is. donald trump is with putin. i want the world — trump is with putin. i want the world to — trump is with putin. i want the world to realise that. if he is reelected _ world to realise that. if he is reelected he will turn his back on ukraine, he will try to force _
9:38 pm
on ukraine, he will try to force america to turn our backs on ukraine _ force america to turn our backs on ukraine and donald trump will help— on ukraine and donald trump will help vladimir putin. i have _ will help vladimir putin. i have no— will help vladimir putin. i have no doubt that orban is in the same _ have no doubt that orban is in the same camp. they need to be called _ the same camp. they need to be called out — the same camp. they need to be called out for what they are. it called out for what they are. it was — called out for what they are. it was good to see that today. really— it was good to see that today. really interesting that she talked about the visa requirements for russian nationals, which they've been easing in hungry, which she thinks is a security risk to all eu countries, particularly interesting given the comments of the mis boss kevin mccollum yesterday who talked about the threat from russian spies. this is not defending europe's sovereign treat this as a back doorforforeign interference with up she puts the blame on him. , , , him. yes. there is never get be an love him. yes. there is never get be any love lost — him. yes. there is never get be any love lost between - him. yes. there is never get be any love lost between ursula i any love lost between ursula von der leyen and victor orban while he's got presence of the eu. they are very different approaches for the a lot of people in the european parliament today would not have been happy with orban, not happy he is currently sitting in the presidential position. i think the russian aspect is obviously of huge concern to a
9:39 pm
number that let the eu as a whole but the particular states that border russia that are competitive incredibly concerned about what's happening about the uk. incredibly concerned about how this might play out and what comes next for the everything comes next for the everything comes back to donald trump when he is not yet president. that contest still has to happen. orban is clearly positioning himself to say look, i can go between putin and trump and sort it all out. i think he was talking about a peace proposal that's going to come from trump when you think zelensky and a couple of months ago talking about a victory proposal. they are two very different approaches to that question. that brings us neatly... its trump satin trick because he looms large of so many things with the it is a report... in bob woodward's book, war. the latest in a series of books woodward has written to mark the end of a presidential term. but in this book
9:40 pm
he revives questions about trump s ties to putin. not only does he allege that trump has spoken with putin as many as seven times since leaving the white house, but before leaving office in 2020, he reportedly sent the russian president, covid—i9 testing equipment for putin's personal use. at the time they were incredibly difficult to access. last night the trump campaign put out a statement, slamming woodward as some demented and deranged individual who was making up stories. but today the kremlin confirmed they had received testing kits, although they denied speaking to the former president after he had left the white house. the white house has said the allegations are very concerning — and kamala harris was asked about this last night on stephen colbert. remember what those days were like? you remember how many people did not have tests and were trying to scramble
9:41 pm
to get them? and this man is giving covid test kits to vladimir putin. he gets played by these guys. he admires so—called strongmen. and he gets played because they flatter him or offer him favour. those of us who were in helsinki very well remember it. it would be highly unusual for someone like donald trump to talk with an avowed bursary of the united states are the opposite side of a war without clearing it first with the white house.— clearing it first with the white house. . , white house. imagine when trump is president. _ white house. imagine when trump is president, imagined _ white house. imagine when trump is president, imagined that - white house. imagine when trump is president, imagined that we - is president, imagined that we 'ust is president, imagined that we just found out that barack obarna _ just found out that barack obama had private conversations with lran's — obama had private conversations with iran's supreme leader while — with iran's supreme leader while trump was president. republicans in this country would _ republicans in this country would go ballistic. fox news antar— would go ballistic. fox news antar wright would be

9:43 pm
that conversation outside of being president, at least not without having breeze and prepped and some sort of official acknowledge of it —— briefed. disorderfree wheeling and not at all what you walk up and not at all what you walk up a particularly when you have so many global crisis going on at the moment where russia have a hand in it and the people are looking at the us response. it's very concerning. that is probably the angriest i've seen kamala harris be during the campaign about something that trump has done. i think the slight difference with boris in an invasion of the netherlands, the system here would never have allowed that to happen. something would have happened. no, it wouldn't. but then we live in a world where they can try to control the weather. a final thought, joe, kamala harris last night for the it's interesting this media blitz she's been on this particular
9:44 pm
week in the polling considering she somehow managed to convince the electorate that she is the change candidate yet she was asked on the view on abc yesterday whether she would've done anything differently and she didn't have a particularly good answer she said nothing springs to mind. are you surprised she didn't expect that sort of question and didn't have a better answer for it? , didn't have a better answer for it? y ,, ., , didn't have a better answer for it? y ,, it? extremely. she was asked that same _ it? extremely. she was asked that same question _ it? extremely. she was asked that same question later- it? extremely. she was asked that same question later that| that same question later that night — that same question later that night from stephen colbert and she still— night from stephen colbert and she still didn't have the answer— she still didn't have the answer for that. she still didn't have the answerforthat. come she still didn't have the answer for that. come on now. this— answer for that. come on now. this raises— answer for that. come on now. this raises a _ answer for that. come on now. this raises a dead heat. the reason _ this raises a dead heat. the reason it's— this raises a dead heat. the reason it's a dead heat is because _ reason it's a dead heat is because trump has become normalised. if trump is normalised. if trump is normalised he's got a better than — normalised he's got a better than 50 _ normalised he's got a better than 50 50 chance of winning. as was — than 50 50 chance of winning. as wasjust that, than 50 50 chance of winning. as was just that, i than 50 50 chance of winning. as wasjust that, i need to see more — as wasjust that, i need to see more of— as wasjust that, i need to see more of that righteous anger. he cannot be normalised for the he's he cannot be normalised for the has a _ he cannot be normalised for the he's a threat, she needs to say that _ he's a threat, she needs to say that. ~ . ~ he's a threat, she needs to say that. ~ ., ,, ., , ., that. we will take a short break. we will take a short break. around the world and across the uk.

easier to just close your mind off to it and not look. just relax, take it easy and go enjoy the football. and finally, line judges are out of wimbledon as announced by the all england club today. starting from next year, live electronic line calling will be in place at the championships, replacing a tradition that's been in place for nearly 150 years. the technology reacts within one tenth of a second of the ball landing on court and is already being used at the australian and us opens. and that's all the sport for now. hello. our weather has started to turn a little bit cooler. you might have noticed the change, and the trend is set to continue as well. well, here in north yorkshire we had signs of the change, waves being driven onto the beaches here by
9:56 pm
the strengthening north to north easterly wind. temperatures on tuesday in rhyl got up to 17 degrees, but it was just 12 degrees on wednesday, a drop of some five degrees celsius. the drop in temperatures came as these northerly winds worked in. now, over the next few hours, we've still got some patches of cloud and rain to come across england and wales, with clearing skies further north in scotland and northern ireland. and it's here where we'll have the chilliest start to the day on thursday. temperatures low enough even for a nip of frost in sheltered glens in scotland. so starting the day on thursday, expect a bit of damp weather for southern parts of england and wales. that should clear out of the way as we go through the morning, and then elsewhere, loads of sunshine draped around coastal fringes. there'll be a scattering of showers, and they'll turn to come and go, really, through the day. a chilly wind? yes. temperatures below where they have been over recent days ten to 12 celsius. although cooler, these temperatures are actually a little bit closer to average for the time of year.
9:57 pm
