and yes, borisjohnson letterboxes tomorrow morning. and yes, boris johnson has letterboxes tomorrow morning. and yes, borisjohnson has given an interview to the daily mail in which he vows to get tough, essentially re—establish the conservative reputation as a party of law and order. he says he will ensure that, as he says, thugs and sex offenders will be locked up for longer. he is not very happy that they get half of the sentence knocked off for good behaviour. he thinks of that as soft justice, and that you should stay in jailfor justice, and that you should stay in jail for longer. justice, and that you should stay in jailfor longer. he says justice, and that you should stay in jail for longer. he says that is what the public want. he has already announced he will boost stop—and—search powers, something he has long been very vocal on. he will increase the number of police officers by 20,000, reversing cuts implemented by the tory government. of which he was a part. of which he was a part, which he has may be neglected to ment

it borisjohnson is. let's look at the mirror. wonderful picture. robert, one of our producers said this was one of those beautiful black—and—white party photographs. what would you pay to get into an outdoor pool like that ona get into an outdoor pool like that on a day like this? people have been trying not to, not paying, butjust climbing over the walls. police had to be cold to one of the bulls in london because so many people were trying to get into the water —— pools, and it's really not surprising. i pay handsomely for the chance to be in that rather delicious looking pool. certainly on public transport it has been far less comfortable today.|j public transport it has been far less comfortable today. i took my dog off for a puddle. she struggles terribly in the heat. michael was glad to. and here's — on quite a lot of the front pages tonight. one of the guardsmen outside buckingham palace. that is tough at the best of times, never mind in this heat. with those heavy and really thick hats, i think it's very tough. they do practice of

again they are talking about borisjohnson remain. again they are talking about boris johnson and his remain. again they are talking about borisjohnson and his people are saying the need to abolish this backstop before they start talking to the eu and they are saying... it is just talking. to the eu and they are saying... it isjust talking. and is to the eu and they are saying... it is just talking. and is very familiar to what we were a few months ago. it shows what kind of state we are in that ireland are still having to say about the backstop three years on invoice johnson is still talking about the backstop is a problem. abolish the backstop is a problem. abolish the backstop but all that does under his plan is move the issue of the northern island or let —— northern island border is midstate into the trade talks with the eu and it still has to be resolved. michel barnier it sounded a bit scared yesterday. but there is a paragraph here that borisjohnson has but there is a paragraph here that boris johnson has countered suggest

borisjohnson boris johnson saying borisjohnson saying brexit boris johnson saying brexit would borisjohnson saying brexit would be insane. the daily telegraph reports that scotland yard threatens to prosecute anyone who leaks diplomatic correspondence. that story liz the guardian as well. a criminal investigation is launched into the leak. tomorrow's financial times says thomas cook has lined up a £750 million rescue deal with its largest shareholder after revealing plans to restructure the business. and ministers are to just guidelines as to how much sleep we should get, according to the times. the papers is growing evidence of the health impacts of a lack of sleep. a35—year—old man who had been blind for more than a quarter of a century tells the mailing was overjoyed at seeing his wife and children for the first time since medic —— after medical advances inside loss. and ed sheeran suffers from social anxiety, according to the sun, saying that global stardom makes him feel like an animal in a zoo. we will start with the daily express and boris, brexit delays. it follows the inte

‘s mask borisjohnson in office suggest that behind the joker‘s mask there borisjohnson in office suggest that behind thejoker‘s mask there is borisjohnson in office suggest that behind the joker‘s mask there is a steely strategy? i think it's been an amazing start. there is a sense of purpose and dynamism and energy which has really transformed westminster. it feels like an entirely different political environment. you see it in the way journalists are responding to these discussions and the enlivened situation in the press conference you guys were discovering live. this is not what we have had for the last few years, with no disrespect to theresa may or her government, it feels like this administration has had a real shot in the arm of positivity which i think is all good. the other thing of the act emphasises this, that the british electorate, leave or remain, is pretty sick and tired of talking about brexit. so in this first hundred days any politician focuses on, boris' domestic agenda, with his new cabinet ministers, has been received exceptionally positively because it's talkin

oval office, he had onlyjust hung up on borisjohnson. it is more complicated, and actually the final details of getting a trade deal could be problematic. but essentially in this, what you had was him talking up the possibility ofa was him talking up the possibility of a good trade agreement with the uk, and talking down the eu. it is worth pointing out that even as we speak, there are problems in american officials talking about the difficulties they are having with france, that bromance that we once saw with macron in france has disappeared, that is something that borisjohnson could disappeared, that is something that boris johnson could potentially take advantage of. the headlines on bbc news: borisjohnson says the recruitment of 20,000 police officers for england and wales will begin within weeks. a possible trade dealfor britain begin within weeks. a possible trade deal for britain and the begin within weeks. a possible trade dealfor britain and the us is boris johnson and donald trump discuss unparalleled post brexit opportunities.

michael gove and borisjohnson, if bennett's filed? michael gove and boris johnson, if anything bennett's filed? michael gove and borisjohnson, if anything for journalists, just the psychodrama. they were best buddies in 2016 then stabbed boris in the back and went for it himself. it would have been a great story if they went hammer and tongs but you cannot have everything. on the telegraph, a slightly different spin and photograph. they have philip hammond the chancellor, saying he stirs up trouble for boris because he abstained into this vote. an interesting line in the back, he is believed to be the first chancellor ever to defy without being sacked or resigning. the chancellor is accused at least by the telegraph of leaving at least by the telegraph of leaving a booby—trapped for the new prime minister and orchestrating a coup. they are using pretty strong language. it is absolutely extraordinary for a chancellor not to vote for the government. these effectively the number two of the government. it is unheard of. in any other cir

i think borisjohnson actually knows he's going to have to crash out because... and when doesn scotland leave? oh, for goodness sake... before northern ireland, i tell you that. crosstalk. it won't be northern ireland first. it won't be. but it's going to fall to pieces if britain crashes out of the eu. what, scotland's going to join the euro, it's going to leave the uk, join the euro? this is ridiculous. and on that question, which we don't have time to answer, we are going to have to leave it. thank you all so much for being here on the panel today. quite an interesting discussion was had and we will have another one, same place, same time, next week. goodbye. good morning. for those of you awakened a of relentless rain, monday will be a better day. the weather front is still with us, sitting across northern ireland and southern scotland. it will continue to break up scotland. it will continue to break up into light showers. but it is a rather cloudy, murky day generally into scotland. dry and bright between england and cambridgeshire where we saw wet weather.

we are getting tough talk from borisjohnson. we've yet to know who his team is that they will be appointed in the next few days but also brussels is staying for a man saying that actually there isn't very much wriggle room on the deal that theresa may brokered. so, from your perspective, how will we see progress? yes, it is tough to predict that. as you say, the eu negotiators are very firmly saying that the withdrawal agreement cannot be reopened. there is scope to look out the political declaration on future relations again and that would seem to be the only place, the only opportunity to come to some kind of compromise. the biggest thing is the backstop for the uk but it has much broader implications for the single market, the integrity of it, which really is a cornerstone of the eu project. so we are really concerned that a sensible solution that deals with the border on the island of ireland, but also that secures the integrity of the single market. we really hope that can be arranged before the 31st of october. 0k, arrange

but would still vote for borisjohnson. some was saying earlier today that there may be an element of, well, you are mr brexit so let's get this done. you started it, you deliver it. and in delivering it there is a risk according to the financial times. and borisjohnson according to the financial times. and boris johnson and all candidates have been asked several times, if you had to choose between delivering brexit, so—called, well, that is always a misnomer because all you are doing is starting ten years of negotiations. leave that one side to delivering brexit or keeping the union. if you had to keep, if you had to do only one of those two things what would you do? they are all forced into the position of saying obviously keeping the union. but the dup, the unionists in northern ireland who are absolutely foursquare behind the exit ahead of the first of march deadline, they began to get squeamish about the consequences for northern ireland through the backstop and all that. and their leader was saying unequivocally we

borisjohnson was less categoric. i and i alone will decide who takes important and politically sensitive jobs. jeremy hunt is the underdog and he certainly did more than bite at boris johnson's ankles. but the frontrunner wasn't savaged, much to his competitor's frustration. he has this great ability. you ask him a question, he puts a smile on your face and you forget what the question was. and this summed up how much of a slanging match we'd seen. asked to say what one quality he admired in his opponent, borisjohnson seemed to struggle. erm, i... audience laughter. i greatly admire his ability to change his mind. but this debate may, in the end, have changed few minds, with neither candidate delivering a knockout blow. iain watson, bbc news. let's get the thoughts now from our assistant political editor norman smith, who joins us now. it was really watchable, wasn't it, but in the end, most people will not get to vote on which of those two will be the leader, it is down to 160,000 tory members, so what impact do you

he is an enthusiast for borisjohnson, prime minister. he is an enthusiast for boris johnson, just prime minister. he is an enthusiast for borisjohnson, just after the leadership election he dubbed him a british trump. he said that is what people over here were calling him. his ambassador to the uk has said that the relationship between the two men would be sensational and that phone call is really the sort of building that relationship. between these two men now as national leaders. they have spoken in the past, borisjohnson has been critical of donald trump in the past. but borisjohnson will hope that this is the start of a strong working relationship because that trade deal that donald trump was talking about is one of the big promises from brexit supporters of what, how we could benefit outside the eu. there are questions though. negotiations have not started yet. we are already hearing controversies about the access of american companies to the nhs, questions over the quality and ethics of american meat which we might have to accept

the time say borisjohnson faces a tory to prevent a no—deal brexit, borisjohnson said he would always be prepared to do it. plot is pretty extreme, he's always been pretty open about this. the numbers have not changed in parliament. the government has a working majority of four at the moment, three if they lose the by—election coming up. just as the eag held theresa may to ransom and ruined her premiership, there's nothing stopping 30—40 tory mps from using every tool at their disposal to china just late to stop borisjohnson. —— disposal to china just late to stop boris johnson. —— at disposal to china just late to stop borisjohnson. —— at their disposal to stop. labour need to think about when they table a confidence motion, thatis when they table a confidence motion, that is probably not going to happen till october. in the last few weeks of this parliament before summaries as they expect there will be more than one attempt to find a legislative route to prevent the payment is from taking the country out without a deal. yet boris johnson has been saying we are out oc

philip hammond says he'll resign as chancellor on wednesday — if borisjohnson becomes prime minister. it's very important that a prime minister is able to have a chancellor who is closely aligned with him in terms of policy. i therefore intend to resign to theresa may before she goes to the palace to tender her own resignation on wednesday. ireland's foreign minister warns the uk's next prime minister that if they tear up the brexit withdrawal agreement "we're all in trouble". more violent clashes in hong kong — police fire tear gas at protesters during another huge pro—democracy rally. iran hoists its flag on the masthead of the captured uk—registered tanker in the gulf. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are rob merrick, who's the deputy political editor at the independent, and anne ashworth, the associate editor for the times. welcome to you both. most of tomorrow's front pages are now in. let's start with the metro — and it leads with philip hammond's announcement, in a bbc interview, that he intends to quit as chan

it looks as though borisjohnson becomes make no—one. it looks as though boris johnson becomes leader of make no—one. it looks as though borisjohnson becomes leader of the conservative party today and just for another 48 hours ——24 hours, theresa may remains in downing street until he is likely to see the queen tomorrow and become britain's prime minister. she will share her last cabinet ministers meeting this morning. as you say, by around 12 noon we will know who has won that race. 160,000 conservative members have cast their vote privately so you never know. they could be a surprise. assuming it is boris johnson, we have already had resignations. alan duncan resigning as foreign office minister and others are saying they are poised to do the same. key people like philip hammond, david gauke, rory stewart. so the new prime minister faces just as many problems, perhaps even more problems, getting a deal through parliament, as theresa may did. the first thing i'm expecting is to hear whether or not boris plans to go to european cap

borisjohnson have repeatedly refused to rule out a no—deal brexit, but are businesses ready for that? the usjustice department announce an investigation into leading online platforms, to find out whether they are unfairly restricting competition. and on the markets: they are headed higher in asia today with investors weighing signs of progress in us— china trade talks and prospects for the tech industry after the us opened an anti—trust probe. in a few hours' time borisjohnson will enter the door behind me as the uk's next prime minister. brexit is of course the big issue facing the new leader — and throughout the contest for the job he made a series of key pledges about leaving the eu. so, what can we expect? mrjohnson has vowed to leave the eu by the 31 october deadline "come what may". he claims that the chance of a no—deal brexit is a "million to one" he wants to negotiate a new deal, including replacing the irish backstop — designed to avoid a hard border between northern ireland and the irish republic. mrjohnson says the backstop could be replaced with so called "alter

what is also absolutely clear tonight is that borisjohnson, 01’ clear tonight is that borisjohnson, or perhaps clear tonight is that borisjohnson, or perhaszeremy clear tonight is that borisjohnson, or perhaps jeremy hunt, clear tonight is that borisjohnson, or perhaszeremy hunt, would not be able to leave the eu, to take us out, without facing a hell of a fight from mps in parliament, including some of their former cabinet colleagues will stop now the vote today has not made anything impossible, but it has made clear that borisjohnson, impossible, but it has made clear that boris johnson, or impossible, but it has made clear that borisjohnson, or perhaps jeremy hunt, would face the same kind of parliamentary stand—off if they tried to take it out of the european union, if they haven't been able to clinch a deal with their cou nterpa rts able to clinch a deal with their counterparts in the eu. laura kuenssberg, with the latest at westminster, thank you. the eu has rejected claims made by boris johnson yesterday that brussels had imposed pointless rules. in the final hustings of the l

i think when borisjohnson corbyn and borisjohnson. i think when boris johnson did corbyn and borisjohnson. i think when borisjohnson did best, he flipped the script and sort of responded tojeremy flipped the script and sort of responded to jeremy corbyn. the labour party had not really had that sort of direct challenge to jeremy corbyn for quite a long time, perhaps since the confidence debate. we sort of got used to the house of commons being a little bit stilted rather than scenes of pardon entry drama. the reason i say is not annexing because people watch the channel 4 film — brexit, annexing because people watch the channel afilm — brexit, the uncivil war — dominic cummings... he aligns on the phrase take back control, which was brilliant, and it was effective. i wonder if we are going to see more of this as dominic cummings starts to pull the strings behind borisjohnson.” cummings starts to pull the strings behind boris johnson. i think that is likely. equally, any political advisers worth their salt, they should be doing

in all, borisjohnson answered 129 questions. many conservatives were clearly delighted by mrjohnson‘s self—declared "can—do" attitude — a verdict shared by the dup. i warmly welcome his positivity and optimism. that is what this country needs, and would he agree that the union comes first, and we need to deliver brexit with a deal? but we must be prepared for no deal if necessary? but others were not convinced. yesterday the taoiseach said that any suggestion that a whole new negotiation could happen in weeks or months was not in the real world. if leo varadkar is right and as a consequence the house of commons votes in the autumn against leaving the european union on 31 of october without an agreement, what will the prime minister's policy be then? i thank you, mr speaker. i think what the right honourable gentleman has said is redolent of the kind of defeatism and negativity that we have had over the last three years. if the prime minister fails to secure some magical, mythical new deal with the european union, will he

do you trust borisjohnson? i do not know him very well, but i do find many of the things that have been said by borisjohnson and by many others to be in conflict with reality as i understand it. in conflict with reality but also in conflict with the truth. i think the truth is reality, don't you? are you saying to me... no, i'm not. i'm not having those words put in my mouth. i've indicated for whom i'm voting, jeremy hunt is the better choice for our country. i'm not here for character assassination of borisjohnson. my preference isjeremy hunt for reasons i set out and the bigger issue here is notjust who has misled us but how. and what the misleading is and what it'll mean for the country and what it will mean for the people. on the key issue i think it's fair to say most conservatives are voting upon, and that's who is best equipped to deliver the brexit a clear overwhelming majority of conservatives want, it seems that boris johnson's fundamental message, brexit do or die, has coloured this entire campaign

there are mps who are critical of borisjohnson, who are critical of borisjohnson, who want to give him a chance to let him begin and see what he wants to do. but i think if you look at his brexit strategy, it was a strategy that make it as a strategy that means it will have a lot of opponents in the tory party because he is pushing first for a renegotiated deal but if that fails, it is no deal and i think what eve ryo ne it is no deal and i think what everyone is going to be looking for is, what exactly is he seeking to change only brexit deal? is it a new deal entirely? lots of yard brexiteers and the research group are hoping. if it is a small change, that increases the chance of a no deal which would be particularly divisive to a lot of the current cabinet ministers. thank you for being with us. we are expecting several resignations from the cabinet tomorrow, after the new leader is announced. we've already had one this afternoon, the foreign office minister sir alan duncan. and in his letter to theresa may he says, "it is tragic thatjust when we could have been the dominant intelle

the big challenge to borisjohnson is top of that. the big challenge to boris johnson is if top of that. the big challenge to borisjohnson is if as you say, people decide to actually leave the conservative party and eat away at his working majority, because that doesn't just his working majority, because that doesn'tjust impact his working majority, because that doesn't just impact brexit, his working majority, because that doesn'tjust impact brexit, it impacted whole ability to run a government. you could be in a situation in the next few weeks where a wafer thin working majority is ebbing away, there is the by—election in wales, next week as well which again the conservatives could lose. a seat in that wafer thin working majority could be even slimmer. what does it all point to? it points to borisjohnson finding the first few months of government extreme hard. all working towards that 31st of october date, when somehow, he has to try and persuade parliament to get on—board with whatever he decides to we were hearing from simonju

borisjohnson has boris johnson has promised borisjohnson has promised a new golden age during his first statement to the house of commons as prime minister. he repeated his commitment for the uk to leave the eu by october the 31st and said although he would work flat out to get the deal, the withdrawal agreement negotiated by theresa may was dead. the labour leader questioned whether borisjohnson overestimated his abilities as prime minister. here is laura kuenssberg. quite the occasion, a government more or less created overnight, a cabinet ina more or less created overnight, a cabinet in a rash. are you looking forward to your first big meeting, secretary of state? so eager to get to the table there was almost a traffic jam to the table there was almost a trafficjam in to the table there was almost a traffic jam in number ten. to the table there was almost a trafficjam in numberten. it to the table there was almost a trafficjam in number ten. it is just before 8am and the cabinet are gathering. this is a new government that wants to show they mean business. and there he is. in the cha

as much as borisjohnson wants to leave? practically speaking, he doesn't have control, that is a fa ct. doesn't have control, that is a fact. we look at the likelihood of ever more negotiations taking place. that is not going to unify the country, obviously. the problem lies at the heart of brexit itself. it is not the country that spoke much until the politicians to leave europe, it was 52%. i have a problem. i europe, it was 52%. i have a problem. lam europe, it was 52%. i have a problem. i am conflicted about the notion that the country has spoken, therefore the politicians have to do... 48% need to be conciliated. there is a deep divide in britain, and continuation of the negotiations might, in the end, mean and the end there will have to be a public vote. i would be all in favour of it. what iam i would be all in favour of it. what i am getting at is, what it the rest of europe feel about the desirability of such a public vote, oi’ desirability of such a public vote, or more, you know, of the kinds of considerations

borisjohnson says it will "turbo—charge the economy". it is thought the new route is part of the government's wider investment commitment to the north of england, set to cost around £39 billion. but labour have cast doubt on the plan, saying mrjohnson failed to deliver on infrastructure when he was mayor of london. tom barton reports. in manchester, they're expanding the tram network, spending millions on improving public transport. but the new prime minister says he wants to go further, promising to build a fast railway line between this city and leeds, 35 miles away. i want to be the prime minister who does with northern powerhouse rail what we did for crossrail in london, and today, i'm going to deliver on my commitment to that vision with a pledge to fund the leeds to manchester route. but while local leaders have welcomed that promise, the chief executive for transport for the north told the prime minister that the proposed line doesn't go nearly far enough. we want to have liverpool, sheffield, hull and newcastle all getting the b

in his cabinet, boris johnson committed to having borisjohnson in his cabinet, borisjohnson decided not to return the favour and refused to sayjeremy not to return the favour and refused to say jeremy hunt not to return the favour and refused to sayjeremy hunt would be able to stay as foreign secretary, or even have a minor cabinet job stay as foreign secretary, or even have a minor cabinetjob at stay as foreign secretary, or even have a minor cabinet job at all. stay as foreign secretary, or even have a minor cabinetjob at all. if there was a loving then it was pretty one—sided, although they did ta ke pretty one—sided, although they did take a more conciliatory tone —— love in. felt a bit less combo to at times and jeremy hunt was less rude about borisjohnson times and jeremy hunt was less rude about boris johnson —— times and jeremy hunt was less rude about borisjohnson —— combative. and they had a pact not to talk over each other. not all peace and harmony but they agreed on a few things, including a harder brexit position, saying they both completely drunk the n

and then borisjohnson is reopening that agreement. and then boris johnson is in reopening that agreement. and then borisjohnson is in fantasyland because he seems to think an ideal brexit, we could carry on trading without tariffs and i think he got exposed on that by andrew neill yesterday evening. tom, you are shaking your head but there was quite a wobble around the whole five b- quite a wobble around the whole five b — stripe —— five c element of 24. for our listeners waking up at whatever, ii for our listeners waking up at whatever, 11 minutes past seven on a saturday morning, what is it about and why is it significant? 20 45 b isa and why is it significant? 20 45 b is a mechanism by which to countries can continue to trade or can trade on zero tariff terms and five c, all that sets out is the reciprocation is required which borisjohnson has acknowledged and said repeatedly through the course of this campaign i think it was a silly point to trip him up on. he does seem to base his plans on a bit of a wing and a prayer and t

and i have no faith in borisjohnson as prime minister. absolutely anything he can do to make life better for people is good. whether he can deliver or not, we will wait and see. drawing up a to—do list is the easy part. making it happen is the real challenge. vicki young reporting there. with me is our political correspondent, jonathan blake. the challenge is making it happen and where does he think he can do this where other administrations failed? people have to take his word for it but it is a commitment and pledge to him to find this one part ofa pledge to him to find this one part of a bigger overall project to improve railings to the south and north of england and in between cities in the north of england at but the details of how much it will cost and where that money will come friendly do not know at this stage and downing street say that the plan will be fleshed out in the autumn but this is the kind of promised at this stage and downing street say that the plan will be fleshed out in the autumn but this is the kind of promise

so if the ball comes loose from the back of the scrum, that is a rugby phrase borisjohnson himself once used to talk about the opportunity to become party leader and prime minister. the ball came loose, it's now in his hands, but there is a lot standing between this player and his try. parliament has blocked the brexit deal agreed by his predecessor, but nor is parliament prepared to tolerate no deal. the eu says the deal it agreed is not up for renegotiation. the public remain profoundly divided, the pound is weakening. the new prime minister is boxed in by unforgiving political and economic realities. a chameleon, a joker, at a moment which demands strategy and execution. and yet, and yet, alex, does this first week of borisjohnson in office suggest that behind the joker‘s mask there is a steely strategist? i think it's been an amazing start. i don't think anyone can deny, whatever you think of boris or the tory agenda, there is a sense of purpose and dynamism and energy which has really transformed westminster. it feels like an entirely different political environment. and you see

as a child, borisjohnson said he wanted to be world king. oh, well, being prime minister isn't too bad. and if he beatsjeremy hunt, he will be. he has made a political career out of being different. i could have illustrated this with all sorts of pictures, but these take some beating. oh, and this is pretty good too. oh, no! so, who is borisjohnson? he went to school at eton and then to oxford university. i declare the motion overwhelmingly carried. boris! then it was journalism. he got sacked from one job for making up a quote. he became an mp and got sacked as a shadow minister because his boss said he had lied to him. and then he was mayor of london, during the olympics. release the rings into position...now! he talks proudly about a fall in knife crime and the murder rate when he ran the capital. as one of the biggest voices in the leave campaign, he travelled about on this bus with that claim about sending the eu 350 million quid a week, a claim the uk statistics authority — among many others — said was rubbish. shortly after, he ha

borisjohnson was less categoric. i and i alone will decide who takes important and politically sensitive jobs. jeremy hunt is the underdog who certainly did more than bite at boris johnson's ankles, but the front—runner wasn't savaged, much to competitor's frustration. he has this great ability — you ask them a question, he puts a smile on your face and you forget what the question was. —— ask him. and this sums up how much of a slagging match we've seen. asked to say what one quality he admired in his opponent, borisjohnson seemed to struggle. errmmm, i... audience laughter i greatly admire his ability to change his mind. but this debate may, in the end, have changed few minds, with neither candidate delivering a knockout blow. iain watson, bbc news. let's speak now to our political correspondent, nick eardley, who joins us from westminster. nick, what have we learned? there was a lot of anticipation at this event because the two men were together in the same place. there was an airof together in the same pl

we talked to a supporter of borisjohnson there. we talked to a supporter of boris johnson and that there. we talked to a supporter of borisjohnson and that speak now to the supporter ofjeremy hunt. boris johnson was a bit rude saying that you have no optimism and you are not someone you have no optimism and you are not someone who really believes in brexit you'll just be someone who really believes in brexit you'lljust be the same managerial leader may. boris is full of laughs and blustar saw that tonight. jeremy hunt was strong on the fact and details. but he also had some telling blows. he played the full a bit once again, boris, andjeremy the full a bit once again, boris, and jeremy was putting his plans forward and a lot of details. jeremy i think when i'm points. he came out swinging and he definitely landed some heavy blows and overall, i think you won the contest on points. but i do not think there was a knockout blonde either side. people talk by borisjohnson's character and he does seem to win over people in the audience.

borisjohnson is now saying he is the real deal brexit prime minister. how can anybody trust this man who slides this way and that one day he will be modern and liberal and the next minute he is saying all sorts of extraordinary things about... it will be interesting for the bid will be like a shakespearean play. one person that does trust him, turning to the sunday times, is sajid javid. jostling for position is now. yes, man in search of job tries to getjob is now. yes, man in search of job tries to get job from man is now. yes, man in search of job tries to getjob from man handing outjobs. tries to getjob from man handing out jobs. do they not have any principles was to mark when they we re principles was to mark when they were competing against each other, what he was saying about boris johnson and now borisjohnson is the solution? do you suggest him to turn around and say he will not serve? yes! absolutely! this is politics, yasmin. come on, mr, have some principles! but you are right.|j wonder how many people have been offered the job of chancellor

we are, as borisjohnson himself says, in a time of national. we need stability, calm and a lot of attention to detail. and then there's his private life, and there's a lot of it. "who cares," say his supporters, and there's a lot of them as well. they see borisjohnson as one thing above everything else — a winner — someone they hope can be jeremy corbyn, nigel farage and the liberal democrats. say brexit! all: brexit! so delivering brexit and winning elections is his pitch, and we've never been closer to finding if he can do it. chris mason, bbc news. attempts by amazon to move into the uk food delivery sector have suffered a blow after the competition watchdog revealed it was launching an inquiry into a deal with deliveroo. the competition and markets authority said it would look into the details of the tech giant's purchase of a significant stake in the food delivery platform two months ago. it is the court case that has rocked france — well almost. on one side — a retired couple who own a holiday home on the picturesque island of 0le

he's a borisjohnson supporter. and also with us elena bunbury, who works for the party and is a jeremy hunt supporter. welcome and thank you for coming in. i take it you both voted. yes. boris johnson is the front runner. are there any indications that your man has gained any ground? absolutely. 0ne has gained any ground? absolutely. one thing we've seen throughout is so many people have said they have switched to hunt, whereas we don't see many people who have switched to boris. we had positive results from the hustings, so it's looking like we've turned a lot of people'smines around. how confident are you boris johnson will win? i thinkjeremy did a good job, and johnson will win? i thinkjeremy did a goodjob, and it johnson will win? i thinkjeremy did a good job, and it would be disappointing for him if he hadn't turned around some supporters, because i think the vote will be pretty overwhelming, but i think boris can be confident he's got the backing of the members and a significant proportion of the country to g

boos as borisjohnson arrives in edinburgh for talks with nicola sturgeon. he says he'll work hard for a deal — she says his brexit approach is dangerous. we are very confident that with goodwill on both sides, to mature political entities, the uk and the eu, can get this thing done. behind all this bluff and bluster, this government in the path that it is pursuing, i think is dangerous. a warning from vauxhall that it could move all its production from ellesemere port to southern europe if brexit hits profits from the plant. panic at food festival in california as a man opens fire, killing four people including two children. up up to his neck in water, the dramatic rescue of a father who became trapped in rocks at a norfolk beach. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are kevin schofield, editor of politicshome and kate proctor, political reporter for the evening standard. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. prime minister borisjohnson‘s visit to scotland makes many of tomorrow's pape

so now borisjohnson and for the uk as well as the eu. so now boris johnson and his team will test that out, are they actually going to put forward a deal of any kind that the eu can stomach? if both sides can come to some sort of agreement, that may involve having some sort of time limit on the backstop, but it has to be said that a time—limited backstop isn't really a backstop. he wa nted backstop isn't really a backstop. he wanted it completely out. so will be taking it out, or working on... the deal that theresa may put in front of parliament, and it is notjust the brexiteers that didn't like it, remainers didn't like it either, so he will have some time finding something that both sides can accept. the declaration part of the document, which the eu has indicated it would be open to, and sell the whole package, similar to mrs may's deal, but everything will require a lot of cooperation, good communication, a lot of goodwill on all sides concerned, so the challenge in front of him is not a small one. the guardian - ruthless johnson t

borisjohnson talking to bbc scotland. 0f borisjohnson talking to bbc scotland. of course ruth davidson agrees with him on that bit, that the uk is a good thing, but they have big differences on brexit and it will be interesting to see exactly what comes out of that meeting they are having at the moment. there are meetings where you just wish you are a fly on the wall, he has just had just wish you are a fly on the wall, he hasjust had one and i would quite like to be a fly on the wall of the next one. yeah, i'm not sure we will get into this one. nicola sturgeon, you might remember theresa may came up here to meet nicola sturgeon on herfirst may came up here to meet nicola sturgeon on her first day as prime minister, and said some of the same things that borisjohnson said in that clip we just played, that the union is important, that we need to do more to talk about the benefits of it, and how to get the most out of it, and how to get the most out of the relationship between scotland and the rest of the uk. the problem is that sometimes the reality doesn‘t alw

whilst borisjohnson whilst boris johnson and whilst borisjohnson and others are quite rightly looking at the leaker is the source of the problem, there are some saying that sir kim darroch was watching television last night, the leader debate and saw that boris johnson did not publicly backing and thatis johnson did not publicly backing and that is when he made his decision. did he have any choice question mark i don't know if that is why he made his decision but it would have been desirable for boris johnson his decision but it would have been desirable for borisjohnson will to bea desirable for borisjohnson will to be a bit more supportive. in the end, it is not borisjohnson who caused this, it is the person who lea ked caused this, it is the person who leaked these diagrams and president trump with his overreaction. i think in the end, sir kim has decided he did not have a choice and his position was untenable and he has behaved in a dignified manner, in trying to help sort out a situation which is not of his making. how great a situation as this, really? it isa great a situation a

here in the uk borisjohnson is preparing for the biggest act of his political career. on wednesday he'll be invited by the queen to form a government, and then enter 10 downing street as prime minister, fulfilling an ambition he's admitted to holding for decades. newly—elected as conservative party leader on tuesday, he claimed in his acceptance speech that he would unite the country and take britain out of the european union by the end of october. here's the bbc‘s political editor laura kuenssberg. applause. and therefore i give notice that borisjohnson is elected as the leader of the conservative and unionist parties. a brief moment of "where do i go now", as the rest of the room got to its feet. a thumping majority for mrjohnson — a knowingly controversial pick. there will be people around the place who will question the wisdom of your decision and there may be some people here who still wonder quite what they have done. no—one party, no—one person has a monopoly of wisdom, but if you look at the history of the last 200 years of this party's existence you

he says he disagrees with borisjohnson of minister. he says he disagrees with boris johnson of and minister. he says he disagrees with borisjohnson of and he gains is unlikely the item get an deal with the eu by the deadline. here is a political correspondence. if there is one thing these two can agree on, it is that delivering brexit has not been an easy ride. i have not got a green light. story of my life. boardsjohnson is green light. story of my life. boards johnson is odds—on green light. story of my life. boardsjohnson is odds—on to become our prime minister on wednesday. but the chancellor cannot sign up to his strategy. so this morning, night on television, he announced he plans to quit. assuming that boris johnson becomes next payments, i understand his conditions for serving in his government would include accepting a new deal except on the 31st of october, that is not something i could ever sign up to. it is very important that the prime minster has a chancellor who is closely aligned with him in terms of policy and i th

the paperback borisjohnson as prime minister. will that continue if there is a definite clear policy heading towards no deal? the evening standard has backed borisjohnson because he had success as a london mayor, he is able to unify the party at this time, but we have been cautious about no deal and this hurtling towards it, that has been met with concern. with the financial sector, what does no deal mean? it isa sector, what does no deal mean? it is a terrifying prospect. from the evening standard's point of view we have to balance that, balance the fa ct have to balance that, balance the fact that there are eu citizens in the country. london voted to remain. yes, of course. no deal will be a tricky one. the evening standard will continue to try to scrutinise borisjohnson on those will continue to try to scrutinise boris johnson on those issues, police and when we think he is doing the right thing. just moving on, another strand on brexit. a number of different takes on the brexit theme today. the independent tomorrow, the new b

this is of course borisjohnson, a professional journalist, this is of course borisjohnson, a professionaljournalist, defending press freedom. but he is in a leadership contest and wants to be prime minister. it is a fairly striking criticism of a senior police officer. it is very striking indeed of one of the country's top police officers. borisjohnson will have worked with him quite closely when he was london mayor and says he holds a in high regard. but this statement by neil bassi warning media organisations that if they published leaked information that could be criminal proceedings. boris johnson said that could not be right. jeremy hunt, the other contender in the leadership race, defending again the right of journalists to publish information they see as being in the national interest, and other politicians have weighed in. the health secretary matt hancock coming out on the side of press freedom. whoever becomes the next prime minister will have to get to grips with this growing trend in recent months of a leaked government information, notjust memories and private e—mails, but from cabin

here in the uk, borisjohnson is preparing for the biggest act of his political career. on wednesday he'll be invited by the queen to form a government, then enter 10 downing street as prime minister, fulfilling an ambition he's admitted to holding for decades. newly—elected as conservative party leader on tuesday, he claimed in his acceptance speech that he would unite the country and take britain out of the european union by the end of october. here's the bbc‘s political editor laura kuenssberg. applause. and therefore i give notice that borisjohnson is elected as the leader of the conservative and unionist parties. a brief moment of "where do i go now", as the rest of the room got to its feet. a thumping majority for mrjohnson — a knowingly controversial pick. there will be people around the place who will question the wisdom of your decision and there may be some people here who still wonder quite what they have done. no—one party, no one person has a monopoly of wisdom, but if you look at the history of the last 200 years of this party's existence you will s

borisjohnson — how do you feel? at the end of the day, boris' hair is a—class, so, yeah, he's got sort of my vote already. how about you ? i don't like boris, at all. he's said some very racist things in the past, and ijust know if that was me in myjob in the public sector, i wouldn't be allowed to do thatjob anymore. did you all know whojeremy hunt was before today? i've seen him on the tv, but i don't know who he is. how did your mates feel about the current state of politics? whenever i speak to any of my mates, they're, like, ah, it's rubbish, man, don't worry about that. like, it's boring. we now meet up and try and escape from just the ongoing onslaught of this whole political mess. and you can see uprisings like extinction rebellion, people are going out on the street and they are protesting, and the protests are increasing, because we don't have that space to voice how we feel. are you guys optimistic that things will get better? i am optimistic, because i've got to the stage where it can only get better.

borisjohnson is odds on to become our prime minister on wednesday. but the chancellor can't sign up to his brexit strategy. and so this morning, live on the television, he announced he plans to quit. assuming that borisjohnson becomes the next prime minister, i understand that his conditions for serving in his government would include accepting a no deal exit on the 31st of october, that is not something i could never sign up to. it's very important that a prime minister is able to have a chancellor who is closely aligned with him in terms of policy, and i, therefore, intend to resign to theresa may before she goes to the palace to tender her own resignation on wednesday. we don't know for sure that borisjohnson will beatjeremy hunt, we'll find out on tuesday. but it is notjust the chancellor getting ready for prime ministerjohnson. others are ready to quit it too. just like theresa may, the next pm will have a divided party in parliament. they will also face a familiar issue here. the border between the republic and northern ireland. both men say th

borisjohnson says it will "turbo—charge the economy". it is thought the new route is part of the government's wider investment commitment to the north of england, set to cost around £39 billion. but labour have cast doubt on the plan, saying mrjohnson failed to deliver on infrastructure when he was mayor of london. in manchester, they're expanding the tram network, spending millions on improving public transport. but the new prime minister says he wants to go further, promising to build a fast railway line between this city and leeds, 35 miles away. i want to be the prime minister who does with northern powerhouse rail what we did for crossrail in london, and today, i'm going to deliver on my commitment to that vision with a pledge to fund the leeds to manchester route. but while local leaders have welcomed that promise, the chief executive for transport for the north told the prime minister that the proposed line doesn't go nearly far enough. we want to have liverpool, sheffield, hull and newcastle all getting the benefit, as well as l

borisjohnson in boris johnson in scotland, borisjohnson in scotland, making it clear he believes that they can get a deal with the eu. nicola sturgeon one of those not convinced. that's right. the language has certainly changed. we've heard a lot more about turbo—charging those preparations, these new committees really upping the planning for all of that, and an expensive advertising campaign, too. remember, borisjohnson has said, and set it again today, his preference is to leave with a deal. of course, two things are related. for a long time, brexiteers felt the way to get the best deal from the eu brexiteers felt the way to get the best dealfrom the eu is brexiteers felt the way to get the best deal from the eu is to brexiteers felt the way to get the best dealfrom the eu is to make sure they believe you will walk away from their talks, and they have never really felt that theresa may did that, so where has it left us? it's a bit of a stand—off. there are no plans or dates in the diary at the moment for boris johnson no plans or dates in the diary at the moment for borisjohnson

borisjohnson that was released a little earlier. boris johnson and his that was released a little earlier. borisjohnson and his team. we will keep an eye on all the developments throughout the day. another big day at westminster. another big day at westminster. a number of us media outlets are reporting thatjeffrey epstein, the billionaire financier facing sex trafficking charges, has been taken to hospital after being found semi—conscious in a prison cell in new york. the reports say guards found him sprawled on the floor with marks on his neck. it isn't clear how he sustained the injuries. mr epstein — who once counted bill clinton and donald trump among his friends — denies charges of trafficking dozens of underage girls. there is esther mcvey leaving. that meeting breaking up after an hour or so. as we have been reporting and as we saw the picture emerging last night. a massive reshuffle of this cabinet. 17 people who were in theresa may's cabinet gone by one means or another. resigned, sacked. one or two surviving from th
