we have had dozens of complaints made to the conservative party in feuding one from the conservatives said he should have the whip removed. also letters from 100 muslim women who have said they think the whip should be withdrawn as well. they are looking into the case and it is not clear whether or not it will move, as i say, onto the next stages. this is an issue that has caused a of upset within the party. thank you for now. we will talk more about that story after half—past. at least twenty—nine children are reported to have been killed in an air—strike which hit a school bus in northern yemen. most of those who died were under the age of ten. the bus had been travelling close to a market in sa'dah province when it was struck. the saudi—led coalition which backs yemen's government have called the strike "legitimate military action" and says it was targeting rebels who'd launched missiles from the area earlier this week. a report from the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse has been sharply critical of the way two private catholic boarding schools were run. it found appalli

there is undoubtedly a problem with some people in the conservative party who have expressed anti—muslimd our party chairman, brandon lewis, has made it clear a few weeks ago that he will have a zero—tolerance approach to islamophobia. and boris johnson has been called upon by both the party chairman and the prime minister to apologise for his remarks, which were deliberately chosen to be inflammatory and offensive, which is not the kind of language we expect from a senior politician, someone who was foreign secretary, who aspires to be party leader. should he be kicked out? if he apologises, that should be the end of the matter. i rememberwhen david cameron sent borisjohnson to liverpool to apologise for what he said about hillsborough. boris johnson has a habit of using offensive and inflammatory language, irememberthe offensive and inflammatory language, i remember the comments on pickaninnies, about obama's kenyan ancestry, and it is not the sort of language we should have from a senior politician who aspires to lead the country. why would an apology be enough? apology plus repentanc

now, there is a code of conduct, a set of rules which the conservative party has, which the conservativeut in part that elected and appointed representatives of the party should lead by example to encourage and foster respect and tolerance. so as i say, those complaints would be looked into by party officials, there is then a three stage process which may be launched, under which written state m e nts launched, under which written statements can be obtained by those who have complained and mrjohnson himself, ben and independent panel may decide to take further action and the pa rty‘s may decide to take further action and the party's board could decide to expand or exclude somebody, boris johnson, from the party. it may not get that far or anything close to that. but a conservative party spokesman has said today that the code of conduct procedure is strictly confidential and a source close to borisjohnson has declined to comment. jonathan, thank you. the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, has thanked the united states for standing firm with the uk, after washington introduced new sanctions o

and the conservative party foods the more i would be too upset of britain for tomorrow as a country that respected in the world a country that no started dismantle it so that worries me enormously britain terms of keeping britain as a as an entity doesn't have many friends left in european circles no i mean i think the way of the government is going his we're going to create a lesser united kingdom and one way or tother i mean we're being humiliated abroad and we're diminishing britain to brits in the country so it's a sad situation but if you look at western democracies if you look at the united states and you can see the rise of stuff that worries me in terms of economic hard man you could see islamophobia you see authoritarianism there's a great deal of that in the cunt conservative party at westminster you know by the ideologues who want to go so but for me an important issue will be. the european view development now we've seen what's happened in spain with the catalans was it happened in scotland. for a lot of them who are really i suppose fed up that's the word fed up with wi

saying s0 conservative party chairman saying so as conservative party chairman saying so as well.ent, those complaint also be looked into as a matter of course, under the pa rty‘s also be looked into as a matter of course, under the party's code of conduct procedure. there will be three stages to that, first of all, the complaints will be assessed and if the officer decides they are trivial or without merit they can be thrown out but then an independent panel will look into them further, and they will then decide whether to ta ke and they will then decide whether to take action and ultimately, whether to decide to refer the complaint to the party board, which is chaired by the party board, which is chaired by the conservative party chairman brandon lewis, they can take action which includes but isn't limited to suspending someone or excluding them from the party. this process may not get that far, it may not get anything like that far but under the code of conduct rules that the conservative party has, these complaints are being looked into as a matter of course, to give you an id

it has been told about four years, the problem of islamaphobia in the conservative party.mplacent about women being afraid to walk down the street —— none of us to walk down the street —— none of us should feel. is it facebook boris johnson at fault here? it is a whole host. it is facebook‘s fault for creating these echo chambers we have seen creating these echo chambers we have seen across creating these echo chambers we have seen across the political spectrum. we should blame borisjohnson foreign using the dog whistles and that's exactly what he wants. it is the fault of the people for writing these ugly islamaphobic messages. borisjohnson these ugly islamaphobic messages. boris johnson knew these ugly islamaphobic messages. borisjohnson knew exactly these ugly islamaphobic messages. boris johnson knew exactly what these ugly islamaphobic messages. borisjohnson knew exactly what he was doing. he didn't carelessly used language and dismiss it as a joke. the reason he hasn't apologised is by making the comments that he did he is appealing to exactly the part of the conserv

party. but today, a senior conservative said he would quit if mrjohnson got the top job. o idea if it enhances his leadership ambition but one thing is quite clear, if he became leader of the party ifor one would not be in it. you would leave? without the slightest doubt. why? because i don't regard him as a fit and proper person to lead a political party. so borisjohnson, the frontman of brexit, continues to divide. let's speak to our correspondent jessica parker at westminster. jessica, quite a row and now ruth davidson weighing into it. yes, the scottish conservative leader speaking at an event tonight said she thinks that borisjohnson‘s comments were gratuitously offensive and underperform and she is the latest to say that he should apologise. we have had a number of senior people in the conservative party including the prime minister and the conservative party chair saying that borisjohnson should apologise but it appears at the moment he has no intention of doing so. moment he has no intention of doing so. he is in fact on holiday, not around to deal with this row th

where the party board would look after and the party board is chaired by the chairman of the conservative partyher suspend an mp or remove an mp from the party altogether. what is very clear is, at the moment it is at the very early stages. there is no clarity as to whether it will progress to later stages. in terms of the code of conduct, what it says is elected representatives must lead by example to encourage and foster respect and tolerance. that is what the code says. they have to go through these processes . says. they have to go through these processes. the party has said the processes. the party has said the process is to be confidential. so fara process is to be confidential. so far a source close to mr boris johnson has not responded. we have no more from him. he has not apologised. a lot of people have been calling on him to do that. thank you very much. let's speak now to katy balls, a political commentator at the spectator. one advantage of this process is it kind of parks the row for now but it leaves theresa may in a rather awkward position. what do you do about boris johnson if

i really don't see how anyone can take the conservative party seriously until they apologise for the gn and then even come onto these borisjohnson comments. here's our political correspondent susana mendonca. take us through where the debate stands as easy and at the moment, susana. the latest issue is that we heard from the founder of the conservative muslim forum who has called for borisjohnson to have the whip removed so if that happened he would no longer be a tory mp. i think it is a stretch to see that happening any time soon but certainly borisjohnson has been asked to apologise by the party chairman, brandon lewis and by the prime minister. so far he has not apologised. a statement we got from apologised. a statement we got from a source close to him yesterday seemed to suggest that he wanted to make this a debate about whether or not women should be wearing face veils. that is not what the criticism has been about. it's been about the language used because you referred to women wearing face veils as looking like letterboxes or bank robbers and that is what caused this sense o

i leader of the conservative party? no, absolutely. lam just leader of the conservative party?just referring to the argument that rowan atkinson is making. if he wants to be a comedian, he is a free agent, he can go to the edinburgh festival and appear on the fringe, but he is not. don't give him ideas. this is a really good subject for debate, isn't it? the original question was borisjohnson isn't it? the original question was boris johnson saying isn't it? the original question was borisjohnson saying i do not like the face veil and i do not like the burka and if a woman wearing one of those came into my surgery, i would ask her to remove them. you can argue they should be banned, some other countries, like denmark, have banned at. but the words he used in passing to describe women who wear burka, particularly saying that it made you look like a letterbox or like a made you look like a letterbox or likea bank made you look like a letterbox or like a bank robber, i do not know many bank robbers who have worn the burka. is it true that a lot of women who wear these phase of a d

so it seems at the moment that the conservative party hopes the former foreign secretary will apologise not quite ready yet to say the actual words and there are those saying she needs to take firm action. summon the labour party say she should call him out for islam phobia. —— some in the labour party. six men have been found guilty of trying to smuggle albanian migrants across the english channel. the old bailey heard that one vessel was so overcrowded, it began to sink and those on board had to be rescued. the national crime agency described the plot as "staggeringly reckless," and said the men had been risking lives for profit. two other defendants were found not guilty. frankie mccamley has the story. around a mile and a half off the coast of kent in the pitch black, a boat designed for six people carrying 20 and taking on water quickly. 18 albanian migrants on board. each had paid £5,500 for the crossing. all desperate to be rescued. the only two on board with life jackets were robert stewart and mark stribling, both pleading guilty and being convicted of people smuggling two year

borisjohnson could face an investigation into whether he breached the conservative party's code of conductts about muslim women wearing full face veils. it's understood dozens of complaints have been made. 0ur political correspondent, leila nathoo, is at westminster. several people have approached the party. what happens now? boris johnson's newspaper column in which he compared women who wear the burger to letterboxes and bank robbers has become an internal matter for the conservative party. —— women who wear burqa. they have received official complaints and they are being assessed to see if broke the conservative code of conduct, which was introduced last november. it makes reference to the expectation for party representatives to lead by example, to encourage and foster respect and tolerance. the party says this is a confidential process. it's clearly in its early stages but, as a matter of course, complaints are being assessed as to whether they should go on to be investigated by a panel, which would include at least one independent party. if it is determined borisjohnson was in breach

it is a conservative party independent panel, iam conservative party independent panel, i am told. fault, it was ours. of course, the statement we had from the conservative party this morning says simply that the code of conduct practice process is strictly confidential. but beyond that, we do understand that a number of complaints have been received by the party, concerning what borisjohnson said in his column in the daily telegraph about the wearing of full face veils and burqas, they will be considered by an independent panel. that tells us that the party has received complaints. we don't know how many wahoo from, but they will be like that. there is a disciplinary process that will follow, which sets out in broad terms how members of the conservative party are expected to behave. that is overseen by conservative party officials. at the top of that will be the party chairman, brandon lewis. we also understand that the conservative party is clear that it has a responsibility to ensure all complaints are investigated without prejudice, and it is right that the processes confidenti

it is because the conservative party in the country is always a lot more right wing than the conservativerliament which is usually a little more libertarian am progressive. borisjohnson comes more libertarian am progressive. boris johnson comes from more libertarian am progressive. borisjohnson comes from the libertarian wing of the party that he is throwing red meat to his base. some say he is taking a few indicators out of the donald trump playbook, meeting with steve bannon... they playbook, meeting with steve bannon. .. they are meant to have conversations. i don't know how many meetings. who knows. this is the sort of thing we are not told. but he is saying that he is being himself, authentic and in social media era this is what you have to be. yesterday, camp johnson media era this is what you have to be. yesterday, campjohnson circled the wagons around him and said he had not gone far enough, and they should have banned the burqa. but we do not have burqa in this country, we have niqabs. photo here at he threw. is the prime ministerial material? he is like a soccer player 110w. mat

crime figures suggest islamophobia is on the rise in britain and the conservative party has faced accusationsit has not done enough to deal with incidents in its own party. another tory party chairman has told borisjohnson to apologise for comments he made about muslim face veils. writing in the telegraph, the former foreign secretary said, a total ban is not the answer but schools should be able to tell students to remove a burqa if they turn up looking like a bank robber. he went further saying, it is ridiculous that people should choose to go around looking like letterboxes. baroness warsi was britain's first muslim cabinet minister. for years she has been calling for an inquiry into islamophobia in the party. she says borisjohnson is islamophobia in the party. she says boris johnson is using islamophobia in the party. she says borisjohnson is using bigotry to further his career. to use language like letterboxes and armed robbers and colourful language to further this debate is not about having a serious debate on a serious issue, it is about trying to get airtime and attention on an issue

party. but today, a senior conservative said he would quit if mrjohnson got the top job. if it enhances his leadership ambition, but one thing is quite clear — if he became leader of the party ifor one would not be in it. really? you'd leave? oh, yes, without the slightest doubt. why? because i don't regard him as a fit and proper person to lead a political party. so borisjohnson, the front man of brexit, continues to divide. then, you say he is on holiday. he hasn't made any comment in relation to all this, but where does this debate go from location at? pressure is piling up on borisjohnson from within the party, the latest intervention from ruth davidson, the tory leader in scotland who called his comments "gratuitously offensive and deliberately so" but some of his fa ns and deliberately so" but some of his fans and parliament have been rallying to his defence during the day seeing these are just attacks by remain supporting tories who fear a leadership challenge. i think that is one of the big questions bubbling along through this. to what extent should we see boris

, with theresa may ina conservative party, with theresa may in a precarious position.row really underlines is the problem that people have with what he wrote, is not really the issue, but the way that he described it, looking at letterboxes, and bank robbers. i think that places it, is in the same —— people even on the same kind of debate as the brexit as him, there's outlandish comments are the kind of that sort of create unease among conservative mps about him being a potential leader or prime minister. the times also picks up on story. saying thatjohnson was right about the burqa, according to a leading imam. we have seen a number of voices from the islamic world saying that the burqa... this is the imam of the oxford islamic accommodation, basically saying that boris johnson should not apologise for telling the truth. there is no granite legitimacy for the burqa, and it is... the idea that you are sort of laying into islam as a religion, or you're having a go at muslims for criticising the burqa, that is not true. there are voices from inside islam, as well. and he

it is clear the conservative party do not see them as the kind of people they want in the party., one of the campaign groups pushing for britain to leave the eu in 2016 and in terms of that campaign, we know since then the electoral commission found this group is to have breached electoral rules and find it and andy wigmore and arron banks had to answer questions in front of mps around whether or not arron banks had links to russian businessmen and they deny that. they are people who have been in the news for those reasons and so not surprising they were turned down. the applications, i have seen the letter they say they have got from the conservatives saying they are members and andy wigmore told me he received a warm letter saying he was a signed up member but important to know those messages are sent out automatically when someone signs up to bea automatically when someone signs up to be a member of the party and the party then has the right to revoke the membership. are they worried some of the things they have been saying on social media, they talked about trying to ensure i

party, some of them backing boris johnson and conservative party, some of them backing borisjohnson escribe as free speech but we have also heard, dominic grieve saying he would leave the party if borisjohnson ever lead it and it interesting he said that because the background to all this is the speculation surrounding boris johnson and any future attempt might make at the leadership of the party. many people are saying this is just boris being boris, the likelihood of any punishment being metered out by theresa may is also being derided, saying it is just silly season. there is an element of that, mps on holiday, its parliamentary recess so sometimes these stories run on more because of that but in the last things have happened to mortar the story, colts abolished —— calls for boris to apologise and then it emerged the party was looking at dozens emerged the party was looking at d oze ns of emerged the party was looking at dozens of complaints, we know people have been unhappy and found the comments very offensive, including leaders from the news muslim community, in theory if you l

it shows the conservative party needs stronger disciplinary action.someone on disciplinary training it is because they misunderstood something and they will get something out of it. boris will see as a joke. most media on his side will see as a joke. you need to do something to get boris to explain why this is an issue, why he has upset a lot of potential voters, why lots of people wearing the veil real he has victimised them. dawn is right this is —— dawn is right. if this is the sanction that is imposed, it is about in general where they stand on zist—century britain in the tory party. in america they are allowed to call a cultural war. it is not at that stage yet but we are seeing the contours of a future tory leadership election emerge. in terms of the advantage of having kind of referred this to a complaints process, presumably this means the party could say, i am sorry, it has to go through the complaints committee, we have to stand back from that. call us have to stand back from that. call us in have to stand back from that. call usina have to

the conservative party chairman, brandon lewis, has asked borisjohnson to apologise for comments he maderaph yesterday, the former foreign secretary said they "look like letter boxes". 0ur political correspondent, tom barton, is in westminster. how much trouble could borisjohnson be in? this is a significant intervention from a very senior figure in the conservative party over the comments in the daily telegraph in which borisjohnson said women who wear the burqa look like letterboxes and bank robbers. the substance of his article was actually opposing a veil ban which has recently been announced in denmark, but the language he used has got criticism from muslim groups, one said it will whip up hatred of women wearing the niqab and the burqa. the muslim council of britain accused him of pandering to the far right. this morning the foreign office minister, boris johnson used to be his boss, he said the comments had caused a degree of offence and said that he would never make such a remark and just in the last half an hour, the conservative party chairman brandon lewis has tweeted he agree

it is remarkable how un—unified the conservative party is for a party of government and how much its you think he will be punished? i don't think he will be punished? i don't think he will be punished? i don't think he will be because it will rip apart the tory party and also because the party at local level would not be supportive of it. theresa may is very conscious she has got to keep them onside. that is my feeling. i think they will go with the free speech defence and say he is entitled to say what he wants in his column. he is just entitled to say what he wants in his column. he isjust a backbench mp. i think theresa may is still afraid of him. boris knows what he is doing. absolutely. people say he is a bit ofa absolutely. people say he is a bit of a buffoon, but he is very clever. he writes his column ridiculously fast. he knows what he is doing, but having once edited his copy, it is sloppy. 0therjournalists would get away with it. it is always lively, thatis away with it. it is always lively, that is what he being paid for, but iam sure that is what he being paid for, but i
