a few showers possible for northern ireland. again the chance of heavy ones though across eastern england, perhaps easter scotland, with the odd rumble of thunder. in the sunshine, though, our temperatures starting to lift — perhaps 23, 24. certainly through the weekend that looks to be the case because the reason things are starting to calm down on friday because the reason things are starting to calm down by friday is high—pressure is beginning to build from the west, and it will spread out across the uk to take us through the weekend. i can't promise you faultless blue skies but i can promise you a much quieter couple of days with very, very few showers, perhaps just the odd one or two in the east on saturday, in the west on sunday. sunshine and temperatures into the mid—20s. welcome to bbc news. i'm duncan golestani. our top stories: the two contenders to be british prime minister face each other in a head—to—head debate, clashing over brexit and the economy. what we should be doing is getting ready and encouraging

his work with northern ireland. from this day forward in terms of his work with northern irelandlj from this day forward in terms of his work with northern ireland. i am sure he will be mindful of that as well. thank you very much for taking us well. thank you very much for taking us through what is happening. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. some places in the uk... look at that picture behind you, there have been some problems with downpours. certainly yesterday and even through the night we saw some torrential thundery downpours. yesterday between eight and the morning and eight in the evening across the uk there were 18,000 lightning flashes recorded and 50 millimetres of rain falls fell in one hour in yorkshire. it is due to the slope show moving north and east with in the direction of the north sea but today even in the same areas as yesterday in the north of the country, we could see further heavy country downpours that could lead to some flash flooding. for scotland and northern ireland, s

w6 rm warm at times for northern ireland and scotla nd times for northern ireland and scotland but some rain showing up at the moment for northern ireland and western scotland with a particularly 5°99y western scotland with a particularly soggy afternoon here. notice it should stay largely dry for eastern scotla nd should stay largely dry for eastern scotland and across much of england and wales where we have got someone sign spells, quite a bit of cloud, temperatures up to 2a degrees. overnight tonight, the rain really mounting up across western scotland, 25 to mill clinic 30 mil metres of rain generally but we could see as much as a hundred over the hills so the weather particularly wet here. localised flooding is a possibility as we head into monday. monday we start off rather cloudy, south—westerly winds pushing the raina south—westerly winds pushing the rain a little bit further northwards in scotland, staying pretty wet for the western isles stop outbreaks to give some very hot spells, highest temperatures soaring up to 29 degrees across eastern parts of england. warming up f

the bbc‘s northern ireland political reporterjayne mccormack has this analysis from stormont. what happened in the commons on tuesday night was potentially a game changerfor northern ireland. now, the bill was only ever meant to keep public services ticking over here in the absence of a government. instead, we saw the clearest sign of direct rule by westminster yet. one amendment from labour's connor mcginn sought to extend same—sex marriage to northern ireland, where currently it is not legal. another amendment from labour's stella creasy was to liberalise abortion laws in northern ireland, where currently it is only allowed in the strictest of circumstances. now, they both passed overwhelmingly, and it is safe to say the dup were not pleased about this. they oppose a law change on both those fronts, and they also said they felt the principle of devolution had been breached. there is one very big caveat to all of this, though. the law doesn't automatically change and in fact it will only become law if there isn't a return to power—sharing at this place by the 21st of octo

northern ireland that exist with the backstop in northern ireland. and the very practical, and also, the symbolic significance that there may be if there is a return to a hard border, or any sort of infrastructure on the border here in northern ireland. so, very much parties on that side of the negotiations will be looking to seek assurances that borisjohnson perhaps isn't necessarily as forceful in his position on that, from the unionist side. of course, by and large, unionist voters are in favour of exiting the european union, so there'll need to be further reassurances on that, albeit borisjohnson has been very clear on it. but i think for northern ireland as a whole, actually, finding out what his position is with regard to the backstop, finding out what his real intentions are for northern ireland will be key today. and actually building those relationships, or starting to build those relationships, at least, with the political parties here will be crucial. that's it for today's morning briefing. sport now, and for a full round—up from the bbc

new prime minister in northern ireland. boris johnson says his top priority is to end the political crisis. twohern ireland has had and a half years without a functioning government. and brexit has caused deep divisions in the party. >> it is great to be here in clearly theland and people of northern ireland have been without a govovernment forr twtwo years and six months. my prime focus thihis morning at to do everything i can to help that get up and running. i expect brexit may come up a little bit. i do not rule out. i think the crucial think the huges is that i attached importance to the letter and spirit of the belfast agreement. here with me in the studio. has this visit achieved anything? try andhis attempts to restore the power-sharing government in northern ireland have so far not come to anything because the talks that he has been carrying out with northern irish leaders have been overshadowed by brexit because the dup and and -- the other party were the two main parties ruling in northern ireland which collapsed

marriage in northern ireland. but that is unless the devolved government has been restored by the 21st of october. we will talk to our island correspondence in the next few minutes, just to talk a little bit more about how significant that vote is for northern ireland. well, the story we were discussing is likely to be raised in tonight's tv debate between the two conservative leadership candidates. our chief political correspondent, vicki young, is in salford, where that debate will take place. what are the issues that will come 7 what are the issues that will come up? a crucial question about the british ambassador, will that be debated? of course borisjohnson is pretty close to president trump. that is sure to come up tonight, and it is particularly interesting because jeremy hunt is it is particularly interesting becausejeremy hunt is the current foreign secretary, and borisjohnson as his predecessor, and it's a huge dilemma for them because the nature of donald trump's tweets was so personal, the criticism of

because ireland and northern ireland did not want a compromise. i think for the relationship between britain and europe, it is going to be really bad. the rest of you have ten seconds. i think the british people should decide. i think he will cling on once he has got his feet under the desk. he has got until 2022 to mess things up. i think there are going to be quite a lot of crashes under boris immediately and then there might be some mature politics. and with that thought, we have to leave it. that's it for dateline london for this week. we're back next week at the same time. goodbye. hello, some hotter weather and the way in the week ahead. for some it isjust a way in the week ahead. for some it is just a one—day wonder. way in the week ahead. for some it isjust a one-day wonder. we will ta ke isjust a one-day wonder. we will take a little to expect in just a moment. sunday, it is how it looked earlier on the isle of wight. some hazy sunshine around, and atlantic weather system with these pants coming towards northern ireland and western scot

not being available in northern ireland and the fact that the northern irish abortion laws are based on a victorian statute of 1861 and i think we all except that that 150—year—old act is now out of date and we need to have new legislation. there is that caveat and those who tabled the same sex marriage agreement said this could be an incentive for stormont to be restored. what is the likelihood that the du pikachu had overturned this? there actually right, for same—sex and abortion, that the assembly is up and running and obviously these are matters that are devolved and they could decide how they want to legislate. but what we're saying is that in the absence of that, we have waited for two months for her to reconvene it hasn't happened so far, than the westminster parliament will step up and take the appropriate action. taking you to other events happening in the labour party and that new indication from jeremy corbyn. is this another sign of him bowing to the pressure of the leadership on how the party is approaching brexit? brexit is the big issue of the moment and it is v

abortion legal in ireland and not northern ireland, part of the uk. it is completely disproportionate and stands out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the legislation. there have been a number of recent court cases, a couple still ongoing, one woman is an absolute champion for the women of northern ireland, in her first case the court found that the situation... the law in ireland... northern ireland was in breach of human rights and one of the judges described it as an untenable position. we have another young woman at the moment, 15, in an abusive relationship, her mother faces charges because she bought abortion pills for her child. it is out of step. it cannot be right. we call ourselves the united kingdom, it cannot be right to have such an anomaly in northern ireland. 65% of people in northern ireland are ready to decriminalise, it is time for change. stormont is suspended, nothing will change unless politicians here do something. dare i say, the british government keep hiding behind this, it is devolved, we cannot touch it. there has be

clearly northern ireland has been without a government for two and a have years so my prime focus this morning as to do everything i can to help that get up and running again, thatis help that get up and running again, that is profoundly and the interest of people here. the leader of sinn fein says things cannot remain the same if britain leaves the eu without a deal. f wallacejohnson f wallace johnson does f wallacejohnson does the wrong thing by citizens here, by ireland, he is doing it with his ice wide open. flash floods in north yorkshire cause a bridge to collapse — and roads are washed away. warnings are in place across the north and west. britain's ten hottest days on record have all taken place since 2002 — scientists say it's a clear sign of climate change. mps call for dedicated police officers in schools — saying violence among youths is now a ‘social emergency‘. investment in the uk car industry plummets — as companies spend heavily on preparations for a no—deal brexit. and for the first time — video assistant refereeing — or var — will be trialled in o

unfortunately that means northern ireland and scotla nd that means northern ireland and scotland will probably feature out of the top eight of this tournament which is disappointing particular for scotland, who are ranked seventh in this tournament but they will reboot and move on to the next part of it. the news here is that england are looking very good in this tournament. thanks very much, kate. to south korea now where tom daley and matty lee have won bronze at the world diving championships, securing their place at the 2020 olympics. the british pair held off a late challenge from ukraine to take the final podium position in the ten metres sycronised event. nick hope is in south korea for us. the world championships a year before the olympics are always fascinating because it is at this stage we get a sense of who are going to be the stars for the next games and things are looking rather promising for british diving. jackal and dan goodfellow winning silver on saturday and now tom daley, some ten yea rs saturday and now tom daley, some ten years after his first world championship

the northern ireland brief. but look, huge issues still remain here. the two main parties, the dup and sinn fein, it is fair to say they are worlds apart on brexit, and the issue of how to resolve the irish backstop problem remains unanswered with no detailed or viable solutions suggested just as yet. and the issue that brought down stormont in the first place well, that still remains — how to deal with the legacy of the troubles in northern ireland, the creation of an irish language act, and a same—sex marriage. northern ireland is the only part of the uk remaining where that is still not legal. so, look, there was problems haven't been resolved in two and a half years, it seems unlikely that just four hours of talks with boris johnson will see stormont up and running any time soon. with me now from belfast is the alliance party deputy leader and mla for north down, stephen farry. let's talk about power—sharing at stormont, is there a sense that the arrival of borisjohnson today has moved anything forward

northern ireland see this? heading towards and no deal?” northern ireland see this? heading towards and no deal? i don't know if people see it heading to a new deal but certainly borisjohnson talked about a wto exit in very relaxed terms. jeremy hunt made clear that he was open to the possibility of no deal but people here, i think they was not alarm in the audience. one of the most interesting things at the end of it is that i asked people how they felt who had done better, not who you voted for, who do you think did better, and i spoke to 64 people, 27 of them said jeremy hunt and 23 said borisjohnson and 14 said neither, so the surprising thing in that was thatjeremy hunt was very well received. a lot of people have boris stickers and he is clearly the front runner butjeremy hunt held the audience and they liked him. boris johnson hunt held the audience and they liked him. borisjohnson had laughed and was well received by the audience as well but i didn‘t hear anybody expressing at the end alarm about no deal. of course, these are c

ireland very quickly in the absence of a devolved administration in northern ireland. really going to have this taken by westminster because of limits of what the northern ireland civil service can do. so, that really means imposing direct rule in northern ireland and it would be prudent for a government to legislate for that before a no—deal rather than afterwards. parliament is about to disappear for its summer break. if borisjohnson orjeremy hunt got that deal they expect or hope from europe, is there time to get through parliament before the end of october? well, there are several layers there. one, it is there time to get a negotiator in europe because i'd rather suspect that the french have had enough of sacrificing their august holidays for our brexit. and it will be hard to find people to negotiate with though the team is still there in brussels. getting the actual withdrawal agreement agreed in parliament is the matter of an afternoon in the sense that you have a vote on it and it passes but of course... if only theresa may knew! indeed. but then of course,

it is great to be here in northern ireland, and clearly the people of northern ireland have been without a government, without stormont, for two years and six months, so my prime focus this morning is to do everything i can to help that get up and running again, because i think that is profoundly in the interests of people here and all the citizens in northern ireland. make sure boris johnson doesn't ignore us! you wouldn't come to us, so we have come to you. campaigners came with a cacophony of northern ireland's most divisive issues. shipyard workers alongside anti—brexiteers and activists for victims of the troubles. but it is the irish language and proposed laws to protect it that has become the most difficult issue for the power—sharing talks to overcome. the democratic unionists were the only party to dine with borisjohnson last night. he needs their ear and their votes in westminster. today, they discussed the tensions with dublin over the irish border, a dispute which, if unresolved, could see the uk leaving the eu without a deal. a sensible brexit is one that recognises that

next stop northern ireland. where jeremy hunt and borisjohnson will put their latest pitch to be prime minister to conservative party members, but will businesses be happy with their plans for the border? good morning from wimbledon where the sun is beating down. it should stay dry here is with most of the uk. some showers in northern scotland. more in 15 minutes. it's tuesday the second ofjuly. our top story: a stowaway who's believed to have fallen from the landing gear of a passenger plane bound for heathrow, has been found dead in a garden in west london. the body was discovered in clapham. our correspondent keith doyle joins us from there now. what do we know so far? good morning. this street and clap and is directly under the flight but of heathrow stop hundreds of flight fly overhead every day. police believe he fell from the landing gear of believe he fell from the landing gearofa believe he fell from the landing gear of a kenyan airways flight on sunday. the kenya airways flight kqioo took off at 07:19

fine evening for many, dry with clear spells overnight, more cloud arriving into northern ireland and saw western scotland and by dawn on tuesday we are looking at lows between 10— 1a celsius, not quite as cool as the nights over the weekend. through tuesday we have a weak friend pushing its way across northern ireland and scotland, it will introduce more cloud, bring some showery outbreaks of rain through tuesday initially across northern ireland and working its way into western scotland. some of those showers working their way further north and eastwards across scotland through tuesday. further south aside from some showers, a dry and pleasa ntly warm from some showers, a dry and pleasantly warm day, between 22— 25 celsius was not cooler for northern ireland and open scotland. as you going to wednesday, a more active front pushing in from of the atlantic, that is going to bring some fairly persistent rain across wednesday to northern ireland and scotland, strong winds as well but ahead of it, holding onto the warmth across much of england and wales, a bit of a split on wednesday

northern ireland should stay dry. it will be a more co mforta ble should stay dry. it will be a more comfortable night for sleeping with temperatures getting down 1a and 17 for many. the weekend weather will be dominated by this weather front. it will be slow—moving, bringing heavy rain at times to scotland, northern england lincolnshire as well. there is a risk of localised flooding, the amount of rain we see from place to place will vary but some could get 40—60 millimetres of rain, so localised flood sag possibility. it looks like the wet weather should stay away from northern ireland, south—west eengland. northern scotland not doing badly with sunshine here, temperatures for most of us down into the high teens to low 20s, that same weather front still on the charts for sunday, perhaps moving into northern ireland, so a change in the weather here, a few showers and sunny spells for scotland. again probably towards the far south—west of england southern wales, the weather front stays away with dry weather front stays away with dry weather and sunshine and

we will leave the northern ireland. we will leave the northern ireland secretary there. talking about his meetings with the stormont parties. his hopes of getting them back around the table for getting stormont running again in terms of the devolved government of northern ireland. underlining his commitment to getting on with the job. 0ur prime minister is continuing to appoint more new ministers during his full day as prime minister. after appointing a new cabinet on wednesday, with sajid javid as chancellor, dominic raab as foreign secretary and priti patel as home secretary. but the green party say the new appointments are dire joining me now is amelia womack, the the green party's deputy leader. he has seen the new government and have a couple of days to absorb. what are your views? they are uniquely ill—equipped to deal with the climate emergency. parliament has declared an emergency, councils across the country have declared emergencies and we need to deliver a vision that ensures that we stay within the target. 71% of people in britain believe that climate is mo

i say this very firmly to my friends from northern ireland in this house. they have got to recognise that there is nowhere in this united kingdom of ours that will be more affected by a no—deal brexit than northern ireland. no part of the united kingdom. and in particular mr speaker, if we are moving to a... and i hope the minister will respond to this precise point. if we are moving to a no—deal brexit as we move towards october and this government will have to introduce direct rule in the absence of a functioning northern ireland assembly in order to affect the legislation to allow for that no—deal brexit to take place. this amendment is being moved or is being proposed by those who voted to remain and as speaking as someone who voted to leave, and is in a minority in this place, i can assure the minister that we on our side of the referendum debate would in no way countenance a prorogation of parliament. so, in many respects, these people are tilting at windmills! we have been going at this for three years, mr speaker! the country sent us all a ver

ireland and does boris johnson, great britain and northern ireland and does borisjohnson, a man who clearly loves his own image, want to go down in history as the man who forced the uk out of the eu and lead to scotland leaving great britain, northern ireland being reunited with the republic and great britain being a little britain? i can't imagine that's what... know because he has called it the awesome foursome. absolutely full stop so he has got to navigate something rather than a ha rd to navigate something rather than a hard brexit off the cliff all that isa very hard brexit off the cliff all that is a very real possibility. on the issue of the backstop, may i say, priti patel has threatened that famine could help resolve —— the threat of famine could help resolve the problem. this is the far right, reactionary comments and low intellect soundbites we are getting from members of this new administration and i think it will bea administration and i think it will be a very short lived one and a new general election will be called shortly. i think it is the wider population nee

ireland bill, amended the northern ireland bill, amended the northern ireland bill, amended the northern ireland bill in order to try and make sure that does not happen, so it is rather over to borisjohnson. and in terms of those abstaining, those not backing the government, one has gone, resigned, but the other is probably not. you had some pretty high profile abstentions, the likes of greg clark, philip hammond, the chancellor of the exchequer, and as you mentioned, a resignation from as you mentioned, a resignation from a business minister margot james as you mentioned, a resignation from a business minister margotjames who voted in favour of the amendment, therefore against the government whip, so in terms of those ministers who have abstained or not voted with the government, because we really are in the dying days of the theresa may premiership, there will be a new prime minister next wednesday, it appears it's very unlikely we will see any sackings but what i would say is that perhaps next week you could see more resignations because there might be ministers serving in there might
