, at and dominic robin sajid javid and boris johnson, at the and dominic robin sajid javid and borisjohnsonive. so yeah, this will be interesting to see how the both spread out whether he benefits from some of the people dropping out tomorrow. we shall know tomorrow now polly you mentioned about perhaps next messages coming from borisjohnson about perhaps next messages coming from boris johnson in about perhaps next messages coming from borisjohnson in their headline says he even is no deal rhetoric at least once britain is unprepared, what is this about? there's been a leak look echoing loads up the notes we see from cabinet papers over the la st we see from cabinet papers over the last couple of years. it's reminding us last couple of years. it's reminding us that britain is woefully underprepared for no deal. in a way thatis underprepared for no deal. in a way that is a bit depressing because he had had six extra month that we had done nothing additional to prepare ourselves talking about we need another four or five months to improve border tax and another at 6-8 improve border tax and

sajid javid, 23. borisjohnson, 114. jeremy hunt, 43. sajid javid, 23. boris johnson, 114.er mcvey, nine. dominic raab, 27. and rory stewart, 19. therefore, the following seven candidates are eligible to participate in the next ballot on tuesday the 18th of june. participate in the next ballot on tuesday the 18th ofjune. michael gove, matt hancock, jeremy hunt, sajid javid, boris johnson, dominic raab and rory stewart. and on your behalf, can i thank my colleagues for participating in an orderly election, and my colleague officers of the 1922 committee and our staff for helping conduct of the ballot in an orderly fashion today. thank you very much indeed. so, there we have the results from committee room 14 at the house of commons, and a headline news is that borisjohnson is way ahead in the first ballot for the conservative party with 114 votes. i i think that is as good as a result as as people could have hoped for, getting into triple figures. it was going to be a bit of a stretch but he has done it. those that get the wooden spoon out already, mark harper is gone, only

sajid javid, michael gove and jeremy hunt.u think did enough to keep them going to possibly make it to the very final round? to come into the debate tonight, sajid javid was at a real risk and he got 33 votes which was the exact number he needed to go through and i think you might have saved his campaign tonight. he was strong on brexit, he toughened his line saying he would be willing to ta ke line saying he would be willing to take the country out on the 31st of october, with or without a deal. you saw borisjohnson stumbling on that, whether he would take britain out on the 31st of october, he said it was eminently possible. some of boris's wrecks that here supporters might be slightly nervous tonight and thinking, now that dominic raab has gone out he was a hard line in the contest, he hasn't got anyone who can outflank him on brexit. —— brexiteer. he doesn't need to be so worried about keeping all those hardline brexiteers in place. does make in—line. i think sajid javid did have a good night tonight. while he has a strugg

sajid javid, 34. borisjohnson, 157. the following candidates are now eligible to continue on to the next ballot, which will take place this afternoon at 3:30pm in committee room 1a. michael gove, jeremy hunt and boris johnson. thank you very much indeed. that was the result of the latest round announced shortly after 1pm. a fifth round of voting will take place this afternoon to select the final two candidates. they will be voted on by the wider tory membership. let's cross to the houses of parliament and our chief political correspondent, vicki young. i suppose this has always been about who willjoin borisjohnson in that final two and it's very close. a huge battle for second place and as most of us thought it would be, that battle is between michael gove and jeremy hunt, sajid javid dropping out today and his team say he will not endorse anyone else at this point today although he will vote in the next round. i'm joined by greg hand, a jeremy hunt supporter, he has dropped to third place although only by two, what is

sajid javid, just on 33, squeaking that magical 33.et some reaction from our commentators here in the studio. a former adviser to theresa may, what you make of that? boris johnson's numbers, first of all, 126, only gone up slightly, only 12 votes more than last time? it's pretty interesting now, isn't it! it will be fun and grains. that race for second place is fascinating. the substantial move is rory stewart. he is the one with the most momentum. and we were speculating about that before, whether that was alljust hype and speculation, that he had some momentum, but it seems he did. he's gone up from 19 to 37. they we re he's gone up from 19 to 37. they were worried today about whether he would make the 33 threshold, to break that by some margin is an amazing achievement for his team. and he is creeping up on michael gove and jeremy hunt. they will be feeling that breast down the back of the next. sajid javid has done ok, that a substantial move from him as well, 23 to 33. does look now looks the weakest? no, ithink it's well, 23 to 3

up leaving the 34 votes of sajid javid upforgrabs, do leaving the 34 votes of sajid javid up foro get him into second place?” hunt can get enough of those to get him into second place? i think he can get into the final. he's been the strongest performer in previous rounds, and as you say it will come down to sajid ‘s votes, his supporter base. i think that will split a number of ways, and people will have been canvassing those individuals, but you can't tell until the votes are in, so for us in westminster it's going to be an exciting afternoon. i wish all the candidates well and i hope we can put through the two best people for a good contest and to make a good prime minister. will your message to conservative mps this afternoon be that a mrjohnson, mr gove final round risks ripping the party apart? is that a concern? i think one of the things we should be looking to secure the things we should be looking to secure throughout this contest is how to bring the party together. we are the governing party. we have to come together to do a good job for our constituents and the people

sajid javid speaking in westminster.rt. the wellcome trust has carried out the biggest ever global study into people's attitudes on immunisation. it found that about a fifth of people in europe either felt vaccines weren't safe, or were unsure about their safety. here, the health secretary says excluding children from school who have not been vcaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella, is now ‘part of the debate'. the uptake of the mmr jab has fallen for the last four years, as our health editor hugh pym reports. he was funny. he used to make up songs. make up dances. one of his classmates actually said that everybody was his friend. gemma's son, sam, got measles at the age of three. he hadn't had the injections at that stage because of other health problems. earlier this year at the age of six, he developed a rare brain disorder, sspe, linked back to the measles virus. he died in hospital. it's left a six—year—old sized hole. even at the hospital, he had the nurses laughing and... ..yeah, it's hard. measles is highl

let's hear what sajid javid said.concentrate minds. he thinks it can be done by october and borisjohnson said it is feasible, michael gove and jeremy hunt said if we need more time we should take that, rory stewart said it would not happen by then. time is already running out, there will not be a prime minister until the end of july, then there will be a holiday period, you come back in september and there is the party conferences when parliament is in recess and all ofa when parliament is in recess and all of a sudden it's already october and not only would you have to negotiate something, you would have to ratify and legislate so the chances of getting a deal done by the 31st of october look slim so we come back to this question, are you prepared to ta ke this question, are you prepared to take this country out of the eu with no deal? emily maitlis didn't seem to think she had a clear answer on that. some other viewers didn't either. mark nolan asked about the irish border, he wasn't happy with the response, we have

sajid javid, the proposer is robert halperin and the sector is victoria atkins.nson, who is proposed by elizabeth truss and seconded by ben wallace. andrea leadsom, who has been proposed by chris heaton—harris and seconded by heather wheeler. esther mcvey who has been proposed by sir gary streeter and seconded by ben bradley. dominic raab, the proposer is david davis and the seconder is maria miller. and lastly, rory stewart, the proposer is david cork and the seconder is victoria prentis. that means there are ten valid nominations. the official 1922 to hustings will be held tomorrow and wednesday and the first ballot will be held on thursday between 10am and midday. we anticipate for that it is an gentleman of the press that the result of the first ballot will be available around 1pm this thursday. thank you very much indeed. damon cheryl guillen of the conservative 1922 backbench committee. brexit — obviously — is the dominating issue for the leadership candidates. our chief political correspondent vicki young has been looking at where the 10 stand on that — an

upstairs, sajid javid. upstairs, sajid javid. what they wa nt upstairs, sajid javid.ultimately is an election winner. it will be tory members and mps, not you or me, who choose the next prime minister. even though this candidate is travelling all around the country making his case. iam the around the country making his case. i am the only person who is not making huge unfunded spending and tax promises. everybody else is competing like a bonanza. michael gove. one of the candidates has already made headlines not from what he would like to do...” has already made headlines not from what he would like to do... i have a proper plan to deliver brexit. i will ensure there is the end to the backstop, i will negotiate a candidate style agreement with the european union. but on his admission that he took cocaine 20 years ago... i made a mistake, if you make a mistake and lower standards, you should reflect on the mistake. he had strong friends for borisjohnson also. brexit‘s biggest cheerleader, still keeping quiet, that's like it 01’ still keeping quiet, that's like it or no

sajid javid, 38. borisjohnson, 143. jeremy hunt, 5a. sajid javid, 38. boris johnson, 143.ajid javid, 38. borisjohnson, 143. rory stewart, 27. the following candidates are now eligible to continue onto the next ballot on thursday the 20th ofjune at10am. ballot on thursday the 20th ofjune at 10am. michael gove, jeremy hunt, sajid javid, and boris johnson. there you have it, borisjohnson again coming out on top, increasing his tally to 143. the headline, though, rory stewart is the man who did not make the cut, going down ten votes to 27. michael gove, he is up by ten to 51, jeremy hunt, he is up 12 to... up eight, sorry, to 54. sajid javid up as well. no surprise there, some would argue. ten minutes ago, isaid there, some would argue. ten minutes ago, i said there was a possibility that rory stewart might remain in the race, but that said, that was slightly wishful thinking in terms of wanting this to be an exciting wider debate. i'm really pleased that sajid javid has remained there but i think, as chris was suggesting, he may yet decide to pull out, and then really there's

thejob signing, borisjohnson has offered sajid javid the job of chancellor. ideas and a lot of dominic raab's ideas, he will spend money to raise the national insurance threshold, raise stamp duty on homes, what george osborne did in opposition in 2007 when he stopped gordon brown having an election, he went into the conference and said we were abolishing inheritance tax and stamp duty, that put the frighteners on europe and put the rocket boosters under tory support at the time, and thatis under tory support at the time, and that is what boris is saying he will do as well. it will push a lot of remainers like sajid javid into putting their lot in with boris johnson. they know they will be a general election after that and they need someone to win it and they think that boris johnson need someone to win it and they think that borisjohnson is the guy. and does this front—page mention jeremy hunt at all? he has sort of been left behind as far as this frontpage is concerned. he is attempting to set himself up as the candidate of business this week. he announced

andrew, what is sajid javid's brexit plan and when will it be delivered by? on the one thing that has got to parliament, which is what we are talking about. if you rememberthe we are talking about. if you remember the brady amendment, accepted... he reckons he changed the backstop? that is despite the eu...i the backstop? that is despite the eu... i mean, i can give you so many quotes, would you like me to read them? the irish prime minister saying we don't have a backstop... graham mackrell your own bbc‘s katya adler has said quite recently there is some wiggle room on the backstop. we haven't tried to engage with the irish, to understand their fears. can you tell me where there is a border... that's right, kevin wheeler stepping down as part of the uk border delivery group. there is no technology solution which would mean that you could do customs controls and processes and not have a hard border. there is no magic solution that would make that go away. if there was, trust me, we would have found it. just to repeat, katya adler says there is some wiggle room

i am more concerned about sajid javid.t with a guest. a few minutes to go and for some of the candidates i think probably a little bit nerve—racking, but speak to gillian kagan who was supporting rory stewart. a lot of people predicting he might be the end of the dream for robbie stewart. it wouldn't just be end of the dream for robbie stewart. it wouldn'tjust be rather read that it would be ending, i think it would bea it would be ending, i think it would be a lot of people, he has captured the imagination and the public as well, he has had an amazing turnout at events and tens of thousands of people live streaming what he does. this is a conservative leadership election and she just wouldn't expect that. i think many people would be disappointed. if he doesn't get through today's round i think the contest will be quite a lot less interesting actually. if he doesn't get through to the final two, he has said he wouldst find it hard to serve in a cabinet under any of the candidates because of the brexit policy so he hasn't

the home secretary, sajid javid, attacks middle—class drug users for "destroying the lives" of thoseaught up in the supply chain. they have their organic food, they boast about buying fair trade, they talk about climate change, and at the same time, come friday or saturday night, they're all doing class a drugs, and they should be thinking about the impact they're having. meanwhile, boris johnson says he would not pay britain's £39 billion brexit "divorce" bill until better terms are agreed for the uk to leave. a woman dies after being struck by lightning while walking on a mountain near ben nevis in the scottish highlands. hundreds of thousands take to the streets of hong kong to protest against a planned law about extradition to china. we are in the stadium in nice where injust under two we are in the stadium in nice where in just under two hours, we are in the stadium in nice where injust under two hours, england will take on scotland in the women's world cup. and coming up on bbc news, a look back at some of this week's stories covered by the victoria derbyshire programme — that'

sajid javid isa his ability to connect.e politician, and the conservative party is lucky to have ten people who could make good leaders, but i think boris would make a better one of all of them. just at that news conference, well where he was being asked questions there, sajid javid, it came up that people were quite concerned that at the borisjohnson people were quite concerned that at the boris johnson launch, people were quite concerned that at the borisjohnson launch, one of the correspondence who asked him a question was booed by borisjohnson supporters. do you think, do you agree with that kind of behaviour? well i certainly wouldn't boo beth rigby, who i think is a brilliant correspondent. formidably capable, and incisive, and asked a different question, which correspondence are entitled to do. yeah, but what the point that was being made is may be that this is a kind of trump style behaviour by boris johnson that this is a kind of trump style behaviour by borisjohnson and his supporters. that's absurd. boris jensen

so do michael gove and sajid javid.ewart thinks he's got momentum in the race to succeed theresa may. are you feeling confident? i'm feeling good, he replies. but this is the man to beat. is it your race to lose, mrjohnson? silent again, leaving home this morning, but he's hoovering up support in parliament. i think he is the best place to get us out of the eu at the end of october, so his view and mine is very closely aligned there. and secondly, i do believe he is an election winner. i think he is someone who can bring the country and the party back together. mps have just finished voting in their second ballot in parliament. at least one leadership hopeful will drop out in the next hour. and it could be more. candidates will need the backing of 33 mps. borisjohnson is safe, he's miles ahead. jeremy hunt and michael gove should have enough support. but it will be close for rory stewart, sajid javid, and dominic raab. mr stewart admits it will be tight, but he wants the opportunity to take on borisjohnson. half the peo

rees e—mailed to say that for me, sajid javid is the best candidate, with jeremy hunt for me, sajid javidthem and johnson and michael gove cannot be trusted. francis says my vote is forjeremy hunt. bob says i don't want any of the four, howeverjeremy hunt would be least damaging. ithink howeverjeremy hunt would be least damaging. i think i may have read those messages already, so i am sorry if i am repeating them, i can't remember. i will bring you this breaking news, it is to do with jack shephard, the so—called speedboat killer. he hasjust lost jack shephard, the so—called speedboat killer. he has just lost a court of appeal challenge for the manslaughter of 20 charlie brown. you may remember, jack shepherd went on the run just before you may remember, jack shepherd went on the runjust before his you may remember, jack shepherd went on the run just before his trial —— my 20—year—old charlene brown. he has lost a court of appeal challenge against his conviction for the manslaughter of 24—year—old charlotte brown. he was convicted and sentenced to six years in jail. speedboat killerjack s

if, sajid javid, we forget, most of these other candidates, the other average person does not know veryimpressed the watching audience, and there is a sudden mania around the country for sajid javid, that could threaten boris johnson but the big advantage is that he is seen as the election winnerand that he is seen as the election winner and none of the others are. not the entire viewing public you will get to choose. it is the membership, he is basically through the mp voting. we already know that the mp voting. we already know that the membership far and away supports borisjohnson over the rest, unless a dark horse comes through and manages to win over people, i think borisjohnson is still going to be seen by the vast majority of members as the person to beat nigel farage. what policies does he need other than a what policies does he need other thana can what policies does he need other than a can positive attitude about brexit? there has been a vow of silence about the loss of majority, one cabinet minister said it was like speaking of a death in the family, none of these people can

you have sajid javid as well, presenting himself as the antithesis of boris johnson.ate saying that the conservatives need a different messenger at the top of the party and he, with his background and experience, represents a change. the ten candidates to become the next conservative leader have set out their position on why they should be the next prime minister. with me to discuss where the campaign lies ahead of tomorrow's crucial first vote is the guardian columnist dawn foster. at westminster is jason groves, political editor at the daily mail. thank you very much forjoining us. i thank you very much forjoining us. ,we thank you very much forjoining us. , we have been gradually working our way to the candidates we heard from borisjohnson way to the candidates we heard from boris johnson today and way to the candidates we heard from borisjohnson today and sajid way to the candidates we heard from boris johnson today and sajid javid and what did you think of them?|j think and what did you think of them?” think borisjohnson was extraordinarily cage like, we know he

michael gove, jeremy hunt, sajid javid and boris johnson.ormal announcement revealing three senior cabinet ministers are the ones to take him on. boris continues to build his lead and build a wide field across the party. we keep going, hopefully we'll be lucky enough to get down to the last two and then we can go and really sell a vision to the country, which will be the really exciting part. the insider's outsider did draw a crowd... relax, i'm not going anywhere. except he was going out. the momentum for rory stewart was punctured. in the end, perhaps, some of the things i was saying, that a no—deal brexit would be catastrophic or that you can't negotiate a new deal with europe, probably proved to be truths that people weren't quite ready to hear. three ministers now grapple for the silver medal. right now, the foreign secretary has it in his grasp. i think that he did very well in the tv debate last night. he came across as clear, concise, authoritative. i think he has a calm presence that people are beginning to increasingly participate.

let's hear from sajid javid now. and comments about that, i think they are wrong, i don't think as i don't think anyone should use that language like that. sol think they are wrong. sajid javid talking about borisjohnson and his letterbox comments, not a serious politician or something that should not use that language i was also struck by two of the things he said he had one you don't beat the brexit pride by becoming it, that the strong signal getting people had been talking about possible electoral arrangements for the brexit party, i think there is a potential time for that. there was also a scott for the net migration target, but as home secretary spending many years and defending eddie now says he thinks is nonsense. absolutely, it was a pretty impassioned defence of immigration from sajid javid in that speech, his parents are immigrants to the uk, and he made it clear he thinks that immigration has been on the whole a positive and basically saying again, i've got net migration target, something teresa may with

let's not forget sajid javid.e first contender to arrive this morning, and they all stood like that in the committee corridor to have a good photo before they all walked in. and he came out, he said was quietly confident, but it's an uphill task. he is trailing quite a way behind, but his team say that sajid javid has defied predictions throughout this contest. 0ther people said he'd never make it through the first round, but he did, and he still in there. this morning, he sounded upbeat. i want to go for it and try my very best and, by the end of the day, we will have two candidates for the leadership election. one of them will certainly be borisjohnson. i think i have the strongest case for being the other one, being a change candidate that can win over the nation eventually in a general election withjeremy corbyn, because we must keep our sights set on that. we must keepjeremy corbyn out of government. crucial in the result will be what happens to rory stewart's vote, where will they go? there are 27 votes to b

i agree with him that sajid javid was the smartest on that sajid javid was the smartest on that in thatder the studio lights, say yes, yes, we are going to commit to a enquiry. yes, but you put the dog whistle out there. if you are america and you are appealing from right wing racist votes, you leave stage left. just remember that full stop the place where those remarks about the burqa we re where those remarks about the burqa were made were actually within an article where he was defending the right of muslim people in this country to wear... crosstalk. grima he didn't defend it. ---- he didn't defend it. he finally got suspended from the conservative party because he said all 11 —year—olds girls should be scared of muslim men and that was in the guardian and the paperand other that was in the guardian and the paper and other places and we finally got him suspended. there is an issue and i hate to say it, he is may be playing to some people that don't mind him saying these things and in fact might agree with him. was emily thornbury plane to islamophobia... was emily thornbury plane to

sajid javid looks one of the possibilities. no doubt about it.e are about 11 people who want to go for the conservative party leadership. i think quite a lot will be knocked out this week. the first ballot on the 13th of june, thursday. isuspect the first ballot on the 13th of june, thursday. i suspect several will fall by the wayside then. sajid javid has said that he wants to have a brexit by the 31st of october. we wa nts a brexit by the 31st of october. we wants it over. and if necessary a no—deal brexit. i think he is a very a cce pta ble no—deal brexit. i think he is a very acceptable candidate. ruth davidson has said that competency is a must, listening to advice crucial, moral courage and imperative. well, there's so many of them in this race fiow. there's so many of them in this race now. i think he may be the only one fiow now. i think he may be the only one now who hasn't said he did drugs yet. perhaps he will tell us that. but it's really difficult for anyone to stand up if there's any skeletons in the cupboard. he is going to have to

no, because they all are at the moment, jeremy hunt, foreign secretary, and later sajid javid. that america doesn't want any of its allies using chinese technology or huawei technology in its infrastructure, and have said they will stop us intelligence sharing with nations that do that. theresa may, that leaked cabinet revelation we had a while ago, once huawei to be able to build the non—core parts of the five g network, we are not quite sure what that will consist of just yet, but this is getting the play four drops approval, and if you think if it is not anything to do with the fact that the american president has just endorsed a boris johnson, that the american president has just endorsed a borisjohnson, it is clearly partly about that. they are playing for his endorsement, and one of the things he said in that interview was, they all want my endorsement, i could tip the race if i chose somebody. the uk is to an extent out of step with countries like new zealand and australia on this as well as the us, potentially? it is if it goes ahead with the decision leaked a couple of

sajid javid and boris johnson sajid javid and borisjohnson become the last two candidates to launch theirborisjohnson — the front runner in race to be the next prime minister — launches his campaign, promising brexit by the end of october. and an unprecedented recall of around half a million tumble dryers over concerns that they could catch fire. coming up on sportsday on bbc news, third time's a charm. wales coach warren gatland is asked to lead the british and irish lions once again for the tour of south africa in 2021. police in hong kong have fired rubber bullets and tear gas at people protesting about a new extradition bill. in the worst unrest in the territory for years. the bill would allow extradition of suspected criminals to mainland china. but many fear beijing has a lack of human rights for suspects and could use it for political gain. china insists it is to simply stop criminals fleeing justice. hundreds of thousands of demonstrators blocked key roads around government buildings, successfully delaying today's debate on the proposed law change. rupert wingfield—hayes reports n

also running are sajid javid, the current home secretary.y's withdrawal bill and finally, rory stewart, the international development secretary. well those were the candidates, but what do we know about the people who will choose them. the fate of the next conservative leader will be decided by around 160,000 tory members. research has confirmed... joining me now is lance stanbury, the chair of the conservative association west suffolk and greig baker is the chair of the conservative association in canterbury. do you have a feel for who your members will be back in? not yet, the final two will be decided by the mps, so, over the next few weeks, after the final two have been chosen, then the candidates will be moving around the country, going to hustings. members will be attending, thatis hustings. members will be attending, that is hopefully where they will get a real sense notjust for the policies but the personalities. going to you, greg, obviously, hustings taking place today in central london, what are your members telling you, is there

shortly, sajid javid presents his bid. chris mason watched boris johnson‘s javid presents his bid.n and has more conservative mps publicly supporting him than any others, and this is his central pitch — he is the man to deliver brexit. after three years and two missed deadlines, we must leave the eu on october 31st and we must do better than the current withdrawal agreement that has been rejected three times by parliament. and let me be clear that i am not aiming for a no—deal outcome. i don‘t think we will end up with any such thing, but it is only responsible to prepare vigorously and seriously for no—deal. next came the questions, and the scrutiny mrjohnson has pretty much ducked so far. you suggested that brexit would be a straightforward win—win and actually, it's been a chaotic mess. as foreign secretary, you offended people at home and abroad, you have a reputation for being cavalier with vital detail, and already in this campaign, you are telling some supporters you will do everything to avoid leaving the eu without a deal and others that you would gladly do that. it is a s

what sajid javid has tried to do is take the opposite position. these others. muslim, pakistani bus driver father, the only candidate who didn't go to a public school, all of that stuff. he has taken the other view on this issue to try to differentiate between the two. i am of the view people should have said i want to be the prime minister of the fifth biggest economy on earth and, frankly, the playground between the mayor of london and the president of the united states is not for me. that is what the public would like to see, really believe. not for me. that is what the public would like to see, really believelj was would like to see, really believe.” was disappointed to see jeremy hunt, hu wei new back in the day, at college. does make who like new. but this is relevant. he did not strike me as this kind of person and to see this pivot to this naked populism ill behoves them. it is unbecoming of him. what was it like? i did not like it at times. did you have to light a fire for him every morning and polish issues? i gave in speaks re ce ntly a

i think michael gove's campaign, ithink sajid javid. i think michael gove's campaign, i think that is what is hitting him. this desperate taunt at boris that they are talking about. the danger for michael gove would have been if today was all about michael gove and for all of the candidates, it is now all about boris even though he has not said a word. is a quite clever of him? clinic and in the unlikely event, he had done what i suggest you should do, given how we know how able he is to put his foot in his mouth. or say things without really thinking about them. ithink things without really thinking about them. i think his advisers, if it was their decision, they're absolutely right to keep them quiet. but he was still the one that everyone was talking about and all of the other candidates who did have their lunches today, were having a go at him, basically for not being a serious candidate, for some of the policies and ideas these come up with aunt michael gove, even went so far, everyone calls in boris and it is quite a privilege in

maybe rory stewart and sajid javid. maybe rory stewart and sajid javid.didn't quite reach some of the heights he has in recent days when he has been out with the selvie sticks speaking to the public. i'm not sure he quite got over what you wa nt not sure he quite got over what you want a selvie. sajid javid had that coup of getting everyone to agree to that investigation into islamophobia. again, as he made enough break through to win the votes he needs this afternoon? it's another big high—stakes day here. a lot of dogs will be going on this morning about who to keep in the race. next, thank you very much. a woman in her 80s is in a serious condition after an accident involving a police motorbike which was part of a convoy escorting the duke and duchess of cambridge. our reporter jane—frances kelly is in our london studio — jayne, do we have more details? i know there is not much up there. the duke and duchess of cambridge we re the duke and duchess of cambridge were travelling from london to windsor to attend the annual service to commemorate the order

jeremy hunt wants it, so do michael gove and sajid javid.stewart thinks he has got momentum in the race to succeed theresa may. reporter: are you feeling confident? "i am feeling good," he replies. this is the man to beat. reporter: is it your race to lose, mrjohnson? silent again leaving home this morning. but he is hoovering up support in parliament. i think he is the best placed to get us out of the eu at the end of october. so his view and mine is very closely aligned, there. and secondly, i do believe he is an election winner. i think he is someone who can bring the country and the party back together. this afternoon, in here, tory mps will hold their second vote. at least one leadership hopeful will drop out, and it could be more. candidates will need the backing of 33 mps. borisjohnson is safe. he is miles ahead. jeremy hunt and michael gove should have enough support. but it will be close for rory stewart, sajid javid and dominic raab. mr stewart admits it will be tight but he wants the opportunity to take on borisjohnson. half the p

that is why i want to see a man like sajid javid become leader of our party.d—working community, he has pulled himself up with the support of his family and community, and someone of his family and community, and someone like that can help the party speak to the country in a way that the conservative party has been failing to do in recent years. he reaches parts of the electorate few other conservative politicians can do. they guess to say that about borisjohnson. they used to say that they used to about borisjohnson. they used to about borisjohnson. they certainly did, as mayor of london he was able to embody the spirit of the olympics at the time very well and i'm not saying he wouldn't do that as prime minister but as i say i think the prime —— conservative party can do better and sajid javid would be a good choice for building a new future for the conservative party. thank you. the mother of an autistic man says she fears he will be left homeless when he today has to leave a hotel his family has been paying for since april. daizy says that in february she

yesterday, sajid javid just sort of clung on by his fingertips, with 33 votes. ok, are you going to drop out? no, this is a very exciting time for the race. i was really pleased to get through yesterday and i'm looking forward to the challenge that lies ahead and making my case. i think it is going to be nip and tuck between mr stuart and mrjavid to see who is forced out today. because apart from that, all of the voters seem pretty settled, with michael gove, jeremy hunt, trying to get closer to boris johnson, but boris johnson hunt, trying to get closer to boris johnson, but borisjohnson way out ahead. thank you very much, norman. and a reminder, you can follow our coverage of the conservative leadership contest today. voting in the third ballot is due to take place between 3pm and 5pm this afternoon. and there will be an announcement of who's through to the next round at six o'clock live on the bbc news channel. and our reality check team have been fact—checking claims made by the conservative leadership contenders during last night's debate. you can find out

i want to bring in mary robinson who is backing sajid javid.got a plan for how we can unite this country. what about serious violent crime going up while he was home secretary? why does that instill you with confidence because you know i have huge confidence in sajid javid, his record in the home office has been excellent... apart from serious violent crime going up, surely.” sat on the offensive weapons bill which was part of the legislation which was part of the legislation which was part of the legislation which was brought forward to tackle the crime that is on our streets. and he knows first—hand just how much we need to do in order to tackle crime within our country and it is things like the offensive weapons legislation we are bringing forward which will do that. i‘ve got every confidence in his ability to lead this country forward. he is also a unifying candidate. it is interesting to hear earlier with a piece with matt hancock when he talked about britain not being broken. no matter, it is in but it is divided and we need somebody who

sajid javid, 33. borisjohnson, 126. 41. jeremy hunt 46. sajid javid, 33. borisjohnson,126. the following candidates are now eligible to continue onto the next ballots on wednesday, the 19th of june, at three p:m.. michael gove, jeremy hunt, sajid javid, june, at three p:m.. michael gove, jeremy hunt, sajidjavid, boris johnson, and rory stewart. thank you very much. gerald guillen of the united 22 committee, let's get more from our chief political correspondent, vicki young, who is in the central lobby of the houses of parliament, vicki just mixed—race year, dominic rob is out, but rory stewart keeps going. that's right, he was the outsider at the guinea, i think there is suspicion among some here, that supporters ofjeremy hunt may be have lent their support to rory stewa rt‘s have lent their support to rory stewart's commit means of course that he takes part in that debate tonight, and has been quite striking how much he has really laid into borisjohnson, so that's going to be pretty fascinating to watch, but let's speak to guy opperman, who is with me now, he is from team

sajid javid is the last of the ten candidates to set out his leadership pitch — calling the former foreignecretary ‘yesterday‘s news‘. he still has a big role to play but i think if we are trying to connect with the next generation and move forward as a country then i think it is time for the next generation, to give them a bold new agenda. in other news — the uk government promises to cut carbon emissions to net zero by 2050 in a bid to tackle climate change. sir philip green's retail empire has been saved after landlords approve a plan to shut shops and slash rents. and at half past 11 we'll be taking another look at the papers with david wooding from the the sun on sunday and polly mackenzie from the centre—left think tank demos. good evening and welcome to bbc news. the last two conservative candidates have launched their campaigns to replace theresa may as party leader and become the next prime minister. boris johnson — currently the front runner in the race — said he was determined to take britain out of the eu by the end of october. he said he wasn't aiming to leave without a deal b

sajid javid calling him yesterday's man.borisjohnson hiding from the tv debate because it could damage him, ithink, that is from the tv debate because it could damage him, i think, that is where he excels. some of the other candidates have suffered from the accusation they have been a bit wooden and formulaic. boris tends to have a very colourful turn of phrase and i'm sure that bombast could actually work in his favour if he is bounced into this debate. in the 160,000 conservative party members who get to vote like the way he represents the party picks —— the party, that he can leave them successfully to a general election. that is where it will be decided. this is the peculiar part of the whole sherrard. we have several debates. 330 mps. the rest of us sit around and are basically forced to watch it all unfold. let's stay with the times, more politics here. not so the times, more politics here. not so long ago, chuka umunna was a labourmp andjoint so long ago, chuka umunna was a labour mp and joint change uk that had to ch

sajid javid, saj, wa nts to dave, call me saj.next chancellor, staking claim for number 11, say rivals. the implication from this might be that he would be willing to give his boats to someone else, such as mrjohnson, if he was promised this. can he guarantee this is the promise? you can never guarantee jobs to anybody in my view. the same jobs to anybody in my view. the same job has been given out 15,000 times. there are sources on the campaign saying that saj is calculating that he's got a better claim on a job if he's got a better claim on a job if he just keeps fighting till the end. he's got a decent, in terms of the people, ruth davidson was a big name to come out. they go back a long way. they both went to the seat of bromsgrove many years ago. they've known each other a long time. we don't know, there is always this thing about keeping your enemies closer. traditionally people have gone for the big jobs. people of got their own big jobs. i think you worked in banking. but there is also a lot of people with the choices on t

borisjohnson is next day, £10,000 to sajid javid. who has given him £50,000 on top of £20,000 from the chairman. and the rules around campaigning to be the leader of the party? reports of campaign spending limits of around £150,000. i try to get information from the conservative party and it is still a bit unclear, so we will wait to see on that. next we‘re going to hear from a woman who said she was forced to have survival sex because she couldn‘t get by on her universal credit payments. the government is appearing before mps today to respond to testimonies from women like harriet — not her real name — who‘s spoken exclusively to this programme. she says she had to sell herself to three different men after racking up nearly £5,000 in debt while in receipt of universal credit. her words are spoken for her. and some of what you hear, you might find upsetting. it started when i broke up with my boyfriend. i moved into a shared house and, after a few months, one of my housemates sexually assaulted me. that night, i left with nothing mor

well, i couldn't possibly comment on what sajid javid might do.at the telegraph is saying. what the telegraph is saying. what the telegraph is saying is that the difference here is between boris and rory and the others are in the middle of the pack, withjeremy hunt and michael gove vying for second place at the moment, and sajid and rory just sneaking in place at the moment, and sajid and roryjust sneaking in in the last round. they must be considering their position, and with rory setting out a very alternative agenda to the others, rory feels he has a voice, so if sajid feels he could fall in behind one of the other candidates, that might be a few he takes, but i think at the moment the question is what are people feeling? what are the conservative party politicians, the mps who have to vote in the next round, thinking about who might make the next prime minister? they are looking for somebody, it feels like, who would be a unifying candidate. we have had matt hancock, a very liberal conservative, come out and support boris. you have the erg sup

if this drugs question continues to damage michael gove, sajid javid might be able to capitalise on goingliberal alternative. so is that your bet to yourfinal two? if he were pushed, who would you say where your final two? with so many early rounds and the mps being as changeable as they are, it is impossible to tell. borisjohnson is a lot for the first position, and for the second position it is probably a competition between sajid javid and michael gove. and for people who are not au fait with the conservative rules and procedures, talk us through briefly the process. conservative mps will vote in ballots until, knocking out one candidate at a time, over a period of weeks until hopefully some of them drop out or we will be here for ever. and then down to the final two, they go to a ballot of the full conservative membership which will be preceded by campaigning on hustings. the conservative leadership contender michael gove admits he was fortunate not to go to jail for taking cocaine. he's admitted to class a drug use, on several occasions 20 years ago. it was a crime, it was a mistake.

i thought sajid javid had a very good approach to this question, which came from a imam in bristol.uld you hold an enquiry into islamophobia in the conservative party, and under the hot campaign lights they all squirmed and said yes. it made it look like he was on top of things rather than being on the defensive. just briefly, from what you have seen so far, who do you think is going to emerge victorious? i think it is still boris johnson's to victorious? i think it is still borisjohnson's to lose. he has been running a very safety first campaign. his team have got an interesting approach to trusting their own candidate and they haven't really led him out of the bunker, as some of the newspapers have been calling it, over the last few days. we will see more of him now as the campaign moves to the conservative party leadership, but i think the campaign is still going to be very safety first. you are watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: the world health organization issues a stark warning about the global spread of measles because of misinformation about vaccin

it will be close for rory stewart, sajid javid and dominic raab.admits it will be tight but he wants the opportunity to take on boris johnson. half the people in his campaign have got the impression that he intends to leave on the 31st of october with no deal. and in the other half of the people in his campaign seem to have got the impression he is going for the softest of soft bread exits. the reason it alarms me is that the only way we are going to have stability around our government, country and party as people trust us. sajid javid says his party needs to show it reflects modern britain. javid says his party needs to show it reflects modern britainm javid says his party needs to show it reflects modern britain. if we end up in a situation where the final two, three, four are people of similar backgrounds... sunday school, oxbridge, all that? similar backgrounds... sunday school, oxbridge, allthat? yes, i don't think that is healthy for the tory party. michael gove is adamant his attempt has not run out of stea m. his attempt has not run out of

sajid javid hasn't spoken.her it's education or health care, they were my lifelines. you voted for these cuts. when i ran the department for local government we increased the spending power of local authorities and since then it has increased, but ifi and since then it has increased, but if i was prime minister, we need to reset spending in certain areas and local government is one, health has been identified as another and the other one is education, especially schools and colleges, including special needs, the question is how to fund it. it's easy to make spending pledges without saying how you will fund it. tax cuts can sometimes lead to more revenue, if you get a more dynamic economy they have led to more revenue, secondly we can afford in the short term to borrow more because the work we have donein borrow more because the work we have done in the last few years has paid off. we have left tina's question far behind. jeremy hunt, we have had questions about austerity and universal credit and food banks, 1.6

sajid javid has had a good week, will his numbers be high?will his numbers be high? i think the second places where it is going to be interesting today. do you think the view is that we are seeing amongst mps, are they really in line with what the constituencies are thinking? what the conservative member is who will eventually choose the next leader and prime minister with what they are thinking? insofar as laura has quite rightly said that boris johnson now has the 105 backers to get him through to the last round. that would suggest that there is quite a lot of unanimity between the mps and the party members. and i think that where the difference may lie is in who they prefer to see in the second place. i think, frankly, i think michael gove's chances of going through now are dashed. so my view is that the votes that transfer from, let's assume that perhaps andrea leadsom drops out or esther mcvey andrea leadsom drops out or esther m cvey d ro ps andrea leadsom drops out or esther mcvey drops out at this point, i think possibly some of their
