and the times says labour deputy leader tom watson has been urged to apologise to the public figures falsely named by carl beech, after he entertained the allegations. soa so a variety of stories on the front pages, but let's start with the man on the front of most of them, boris johnson, on the front of the i. do you agree he is 2a hours from downing street? we are not sure of the timing of this announcement. we expect the result late morning, midday tomorrow, of who has won the tory leadership contest. we've had many political shocks in the cast couple of years and, if boris johnson isn't announced and jeremy hunt were to, i think that would be one of the biggest shocks, so the expectation is borisjohnson and, in terms of weather he gets to go to downing street, that will be on wednesday, presumably after pmqs, where theresa may will have her last turn at the dispatch box. this leadership contest has felt, in a way, quite slow the last couple of weeks, because everybody has felt it's a foregone conclusion. the question, speaking to lots of tory mps, is, what margin will he win by?

tom watson wrote tojennie helpfully been published. tom watson wrote to jennie formby yesterday and there was a reply from jennie formby last night, very striking. she said, you consistently abuse your considerable platform to denigrate any progress that has been made. you are producing my reputation and publicly attacking me when you know iam publicly attacking me when you know i am undergoing chemotherapy. she acknowledges that there is a real problem in the labour party around anti—semitism, but she accuses tom watson of being complicit in creating a perception that anti—semitism is more prevalent in the labour party than in wider society. this is deeply irresponsible for the deputy leader ofa irresponsible for the deputy leader of a party which seeks to be in government. if you're wondering why tom watson hasn't been fired, given how outspoken he has been, he can't be because being deputy leader of the labour party is an elected position. he has his own mandate, independent ofjeremy corbyn. so he has this platform, asjeremy for

and then tom watson, i'iow investigation. and then tom watson, now deputy leader, who suggested that he go to the police and spoke about it in the commons. i think there was some questioning. if you look at those who are accused and their families there is anger about how this was handled and there is a suggestion that they were not interested in the other side of the story. let us finish with the daily star, if we may. which we don't often do so by the prime suspect. this is the goal that swept down and nabbed ahuri —— gull. we are being warned —— nabbed a chihuahua. experts warn a baby could be next. we unmask the dog nabbing gull. i think this is a random gull that could be falsely accused. there may bea campaign could be falsely accused. there may be a campaign later down the line to stop this poor gull having its reputation traduced. incidentally there is an economist in the independent called compaq who has said he is not guilty —— tom peck. on that note. thank you very much indeed. that's it for the papers

watson, now calling for a com plete tom watson, now calling for a complete overhaul of the complaints procedure, suggesting it should be a fully independent process. —— it is a stance that has intensified their dismay. and that individuals who make anti—semitic remark should be automatically excluded. whatever the nips and tucks to the complaints process , nips and tucks to the complaints process, and it has been suggested thatjewish people should be involved in adjudication, there is a feel that at the end of the day, all roads leads tojeremy corbyn, that you cannot disentangle him from this controversy. tom watson says that he has allowed a permissive culture towards anti—semitism and what he means is that by the huge expansion in membership seen underjeremy corbyn, there has been a vast influx of individuals from the far left, with views that previously would never have been acceptable in the labour party, coupled withjeremy corbyn's own mindset on the middle east, deeply hostile to israel, which has bled over into attitudes of anti—semitism. on this i think jeremy corbyn

the deputy labour leader, tom watson, says he was shocked, chilled and appalled by the allegations in the programme. helena wilkinson reports. reaction was swift and strong to the panorama programme on anti—semitism within labour ranks. the party is now under huge pressure after being confronted with what are serious allegations. but no reply from the man at the top. his shadow chancellor though did have something to say. some serious charges there, they have been hotly contested. some x staff and statements have been contested by existing staff. i think the bbc should investigate the claims and we can come to a conclusion. others within the labour party have expressed deep alarm at what was said by former staff, that mr corbyn's closest allies, including jennie formby, try to interfere in the disciplinary processes involving anti—semitism cases. her testimony is difficult to hear. the thought crosses my mind as to whether i should send her my resignation and then do something nobody should ever consider, and i actually considered committing suicide. the labour party has totally r

but deputy leader tom watson has struck a different tone. you couldn't fail to be saddened and moved by the testimony, particularly of the young members who'd had racist abuse in party

tom watson clearly concerned about this. he says the way they have been smeared encoding by labour spokespeople is deplorable. even if some people did not want to hear what they had to say, it is unacceptable what they had to say, it is u na cce pta ble to what they had to say, it is unacceptable to attempt to undermine their integrity and character in this manner. as you mentioned a moment ago, labour have absolutely denied that any senior labour figures tried to interfere in disciplinary processes around cases of anti—semitism, but tom watson also talks about the ongoing equality and human rights commission enquiry into the labour party and allegations of anti—semitism. he hasn't seen, as the deputy leader, the labour party submission to that enquiry. he addresses that and says, i also feel given the gravity of the allegations, i insist once again that you publish labour‘s contribution to the equality and human rights commission. he says, only son site can cleanse labour of anti—semitism now. we haven't had a respo

but deputy leader tom watson has struck a different tone. you couldn't fail to be saddened and moved by the testimony, particularly of the young members who'd had racist abuse in party meetings and on social media. for the next hour, with our audience here, we'll ask — can labour move on from this, and if so how? i'm ella, i'm jewish i'm ella, i'mjewish and i left the labour party in the summer of 2017 over allegations of anti—semitism. i'm salma karmi—ayyoub, a british palestinian member of the labour party, and i'm concerned that some of the criticism being levelled against the party as unfair. i'm ghulam asghar, a labour member for the last 14 years. i'm pleased with the last 14 years. i'm pleased with the new labour position on brexit. hello. welcome to the programme. we're live until 11 this morning. yes, we are also going to talk about labour's new brexit position — to go for a second referendum and campaign for remain — that's ahead of a general election. that position may change when it comes to the party's manifesto. but w

deputy leader tom watson and london mayor earlier i spoke to baroness neuberger, the crossbench peer and author of the book "antisemitism: what it is, what it is not and why it matters". i started by asking her, her thoughts on that panorama investigation. i think the first thing i ought to stay and all of the sort to see is a real thank you to those people who are prepared to speak out on that programme. i thought they were very brave. ifind programme. i thought they were very brave. i find the programme. i thought they were very brave. ifind the labour programme. i thought they were very brave. i find the labour party attacked him then absolutely shameful. we know there were eight of them and the programme spoke to others. all the labour party can do to see their rubbish and disaffected, they piece speaking, that in itself is highly questionable. i would expect a responsible lawyer, let alone the labour party, to show some sympathy for people who have had a breakdown and suffered stress as a result of the treatment. one of the messages that came out from the party was that came out

but tom watson, who met beech, rejects this, and harvey proctor‘s call for an apology. wouldn't it be gracious now to concede you have made mistakes in this? i have never made an allegation against him. i have never named him in public, so there is nothing for me to apologise for in that regard. harvey proctor has also criticised the journalism of bbc news. in a statement, the corporation said, in 2014, bbc reported serious allegations in the public interest which were the basis of a police murder investigation and which the police later described a5 credible and true. carl beech has since been exposed a5 a fantasist and serial liar, not least by an investigation from the bbc‘s panorama. beech deliberately set out to ruin other people's lives and reputations. but it is carl beech himself who now stands convicted of being a paedophile, a fraud, and a liar. the scotland yard enquiry wa5 heavily criticised in an official report and the police watchdog has looked at a total of five officers to see if they should face any sort of disciplinary proce55. to see if they should

it was also a special day for the former champion tom watson who played his final round of golf before retiring from competition — narrowly missing a birdie at the last, there. in a 48—year professional career, watson won 70 events on the pga tour — including 8 majors, which puts him sixth on the all—time list. he also won 6 senior majors — and captained the us ryder cup team twice. wet and chaotic, there was nothing predictable about an action packed german grand prix. red bull's max verstappen claimed his second win of the year, while ferrari's sebastien vettel drove his way into second place from the back of the grid. a day to forget though for the reigning world champion lewis hamilton as patrick gearey reports... one of those days for lewis hamilton. filthy weather, you're feeling sick, then you have to go to work and it is a safety car start. hamilton's firstjob was to somehow stay in front, when all behind was the wacky races. rain scrambles formula 1's precise engineering and strategy. this was charles leclerc, just as he was about to take the lead... no! a minute lat

to do something more than anyone else, he was equally turned into the traitorous tom watson, he has to resign. instead of labour turning round and admitting, and the leadership of the saint we have a problem and we have not dealt with it properly, we are hiding complaints against people who we would like to protect as well. they came out the next day all guns blazing and saying it is everyone else's problem but our own. on the television yesterday the shadow foreign secretary emily thornbury said it was not right to shoot the messenger and it was right to look at the message. tom watson is pushing for automatic expulsions, along with another, with other labour mps for along with another, with other labourmps fora along with another, with other labour mps for a totally independent complaints system. is that the only way now to stamp out anti—semitism? i think the anti—semitism has been allowed to flourish underjeremy corbyn's leadership. i do not think they have stamped down and it hard enough, people say on social media how do you know that person is labour, they might just how

meanwhile, american tom watson has played his last round of competitive golf at the senior open, at royal litham & st annes. he said beforehand he didnt‘ "have enough tools in the toolbox to compete successfully". watson, who celebrates his 70th birthday in september, won eight major titles, including five open championships. and after three weeks and more than 2,000 miles, the tour de france comes to a conclusion on the champs elysees tonight. egan bernal will be crowned the youngest winner in 110 years and he's been enjoying a celebratory glass of bubbly with geraint thomas and his team ineos teammates. the riders are in paris now — with the sprinters expected to contest today's final stage in the next hour. you can listen on 5 live sports extra and bbc sport website. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening, but now on the news channel it's time for cick. on the news channel it's time for click. it's the hardest problem in technology and one that could change everything. this week, we're in arizona, the self—driving capital of the world, to ride in the la

tom watson attacking labour but it isjohn mcdonnell putting pressure onjeremy corbyn to back a second referendum. it's quite unasked for a party concerned about its votes. that's probably an unhelpful way of talking about it. i am rather sick of this idea that the country is divided into brexit and remain voters, how will the country get past it is denmarkjeremy will the country get past it is denmark jeremy corbyn has will the country get past it is denmarkjeremy corbyn has been a lifelong deck, and he has senior figures warning there are quite a lot of strongly leave supporting constituencies —— lifelong euros get deck —— eurosceptic. constituencies —— lifelong euros get deck -- eurosceptic. just as we said borisjohnson will have so many challenges squaring the surface between these two actions of his party, it's exactly the same. jeremy corbyn will likely think back on those halcyon days, a rabble voting with his conscious against the government, —— rebel, now his isolated, we don't hear about him so much. diane said please think of a second referendum, everybody‘

i do agree with tom watson, that this problem has leapt underjeremy corbyn and the people from the far left have come to dominate the labour party since he became leader but even at this late stage, surely jeremy corbyn recognises the damage he is doing to the labour party as an anti—racist party, and i hope he can stand back and realise some of his friends are complicit in this and take the required action. maybe he can't do it and it's too much for him but may it's he can't do it and it's too much for him but may its decision time so let's see if he is ready to face this challenge. shouldn't you add others cut to the chase and say the only reason to resolve this is getting rid of jeremy corbyn or those around him like harry murphy or seamus helm? the key figures who are guiding jeremy corbyn were put there by jeremy corbyn were put there by jeremy corbyn were put there by jeremy corbyn himself and he relies on them. in one sense the problem comes not just from jeremy corbyn but from those figures who have been put in great positions of power and they now seem to be dominating him.

meanwhile, they have turned on the deputy tom watson who seems to have suffered because he did not supportjeremy corbyn, which i think is quite an interesting stance. this is a yougov poll of 1100 people who are members of the labour party and it was done online. yes, just a few months ago 7496 online. yes, just a few months ago 74% of labour members backed demi corbin to take them into the next election. that has plunged to 56%, it is -- election. that has plunged to 56%, it is —— jeremy corbyn. it is not just the party members who are increasingly disillusioned with mr corbyn. think there is a feeling even amongst his own supporters at westminster that perhaps the biggest threat to the grocery project is now mr corbyn himself because he cannot escape from the anti—semitism and brexit —— the corbyn project. they not been carried forward in the way they need to to have a manifesto that can win a general election. 0n the other hand, he has been elected twice by the members. it seems unthinkable that could be a leadership challenge in the near future. they think things are moving in the

labour's deputy leader tom watson has said he is appalled by allegations of anti—semitism raised in a bbc panorama programme, and has called for a fully independent investigation. but the labour party has hit back, saying the former party officials who spoke to the programme were disaffected opponents ofjeremy corbyn. the whistle—blowers had claimed that close associates of mr corbyn interfered in the way the party dealt with allegations of anti—semitism. the party has rejected any claim that it is anti—semitic. john pienaar reports. the morejeremy corbyn‘s criticised, the louder the defence. this wellwisher's verdict on the media — "they don't stop bullying." he is saying nothing about the latest claims that under his leadership labour's been soft on anti—semitism. his close ally came out fighting, whistleblowers' accounts of anti—semitism had been distorted. their claims disputed by colleagues. some serious charges there, they have been hotly contested, some of the staff, ex—staff‘s statements have been contested by existing staff. there's been complaints put into
