and Britain's new Prime Minister will be chosen from a short

:00:00.:00:10.

Theresa May, the Home Secretary, is the overwhelming choice

:00:11.:00:17.

of Conservative MPs but the final decision

:00:18.:00:19.

This vote shows that the Conservative Party can

:00:20.:00:28.

come together and that under my leadership, it will.

:00:29.:00:39.

But there's lively support for Andrea Leadsom,

:00:40.:00:40.

the Energy Minister, despite concerns about her

:00:41.:00:42.

I think what people want in this country is somebody that

:00:43.:00:46.

says what they mean, mean what is they say

:00:47.:00:48.

The third contender, Michael Gove, failed to draw

:00:49.:00:56.

Five men have died in an accident at a metal recycling

He was reaching for his wallet. The officer shot him in his arm.

received 199 votes and the Energy Minister,

the Conservative Party can come together and that

under my leadership it will. We need proven leadership

to negotiate the best deal for leaving the European Union,

:03:05.:03:08.

to unite our party and our country and to make Britain a country that

works, not for the privileged few, In in the grand rooms

:03:14.:03:16.

of Westminster, the vote was clear. With Michael Gove out,

:03:17.:03:22.

and the Energy Minister, Andrea Leadsom trailing,

:03:23.:03:31.

Mrs May's supporters were delighted. Not quite waving on the steps

of Number Ten yet but she has just won the very clear endorsement

:03:37.:03:39.

of the majority of Tory MPs. Her backers hope her experience

:03:40.:03:43.

makes her the clear favourite. She can truly say,

as we go to the country, Are you surprised by how

:04:13.:04:27.

about her record but one wing of the party is enthusiastic enough

:04:28.:04:29.

to march along the river in in an unusual show

:04:30.:04:32.

of Conservative support. She was hardly known

:04:33.:04:34.

before the referendum. Great thing is we have an all-female

:04:45.:04:48.

to decide to run? I feel, having played a part

:04:49.:04:50.

in showing this country the prospects for us outside

:04:51.:04:55.

of the EU, I just felt I needed to put myself forward to offer

:05:27.:05:28.

all absolutely true. I think this is,

:05:29.:05:30.

you know, ridiculous. You see some of the people

supporting you in this campaign have gone on the record and said one

of your great strengths is that you do have experience managing

exactly the right kind of positive and optimistic and confident

leadership that this country needs. Mr Johnson was of course

:06:24.:06:26.

the one-time favourite. His hopes were sunk by Mr Gove,

:06:27.:06:28.

who crashed out today. I'm naturally disappointed that

:06:29.:06:30.

I haven't been able to make it through to the final

round of this leadership contest. REPORTER: Do you great

:06:42.:06:44.

than they could have hoped. But now MPs lose control

:06:45.:06:49.

and the contest goes to the country. It is the Conservative Party,

:06:50.:06:52.

not Parliament who makes the call. So, Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom

:06:53.:07:01.

will spend the next few weeks building support among party

:07:02.:07:04.

members, whose final choice will be Mrs May is one of the

members, who are choosing Theresa May is the favourite,

:07:29.:07:32.

the bookies' favourite that is. She's been called difficult,

:07:33.:07:35.

but good. A former coalition partner

:07:36.:07:38.

thought she was effective. She was very competent

:07:39.:07:41.

and single-minded, but quite rigid, and we saw, for example,

:07:42.:07:50.

on immigration policy that it wasn't just me who was dealing

:07:51.:07:53.

with universities and so on, but even George Osborne

:07:54.:07:55.

and David Cameron, and she ran rings around them and frequently wouldn't

:07:56.:07:58.

compromise at all. Middle-class upbringing,

:07:59.:08:00.

dad was a vicar and she learned As a worker in the City she rose,

:08:01.:08:02.

worked at the Bank of England before politics, but was never one

of the boys or tried to be, and never saw her gender

:08:08.:08:10.

as an obstacle. I've never experienced

:08:11.:08:12.

any barriers within the Conservative Party,

:08:13.:08:13.

I must say. I've never felt I've had any

:08:14.:08:16.

problems as a woman. Yes, if that means a woman

:08:17.:08:18.

who demands a fair deal. Now there's much more to Theresa May

:08:19.:08:25.

than the shoes, the kitten heels she's famously worn on the climb

:08:26.:08:28.

through the Cabinet. She's stubborn - Geoff Boycott

:08:29.:08:31.

is her favourite cricketer - and tough enough to face down

:08:32.:08:34.

a hostile audience It's my job to tell it like it is,

:08:35.:08:36.

not how we'd like it to be. Allies say she's not

:08:37.:08:43.

just a tough operator. She campaigned to remain in the EU

:08:44.:08:50.

and now says she'd negotiate on whether EU migrants

:08:51.:08:56.

can stay in the UK. Her supporters see her

:08:57.:08:58.

as the more compassionate She supports the minimum

:08:59.:09:00.

wage and maternity pay for all and she voted

:09:01.:09:03.

for same-sex marriage. Andrea Leadsom lacks experience

:09:04.:09:05.

at the top of politics. Seen here on her first day as an MP

:09:06.:09:09.

only six years ago, she sounded appealingly

:09:10.:09:12.

innocent about hiring As a new MP I'm really looking

for somebody with experience Her years in the City,

to buy our own place and fund it ourselves,

:09:28.:09:30.

so there won't be any She started her political climb

as a protege of the Chancellor George Osborne, before finally

the new Conservative leader - and Britain's next Prime Minister -

is under way, with ballot papers being sent out very soon

:10:24.:10:26.

to Conservative Party members. Our special correspondent Ed Thomas

:10:27.:10:28.

has been to the town of Nantwich in Cheshire -

:10:29.:10:30.

part of a constituency held by the Conservatives -

:10:31.:10:33.

and he's been sampling opinion Nantwich, a Cheshire town

:10:34.:10:35.

with a Conservative instinct. And this morning the Tory faithful

:10:36.:10:43.

were waiting to hear the names, to consider

:10:44.:10:45.

who best to lead a nation. Just two Conservative members

:10:46.:10:49.

who helped choose the One of the candidates in particular,

:10:50.:10:57.

I would really like to know I will be doing some homework before

:10:58.:11:02.

I make my decision. I love what she's done over

:11:03.:11:07.

the last few years. This is not just about

:11:08.:11:11.

the Conservative Party. This is about a Prime Minister that

:11:12.:11:16.

will actually bring This time I feel that the roles have

:11:17.:11:18.

reversed. It's now up to me,

:11:19.:11:23.

I can make a difference. Experts say Tory membership

:11:24.:11:26.

is mostly male, middle class and over 50, but other

:11:27.:11:36.

voices want to be heard. Someone who can lead

:11:37.:11:39.

and unite the party. Supporters like Jonathan,

MPs and members, everyone And who wows you at

the moment? There is a power in towns

:11:54.:12:01.

like Nantwich like never before. The voice of Conservative members

:12:02.:12:06.

here and elsewhere will be heard, because they alone will choose

:12:07.:12:11.

the next British Prime Minister. By the afternoon

:12:12.:12:17.

a clear choice. Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom -

:12:18.:12:19.

the final two in the race to lead. We're going to have another female

:12:20.:12:26.

Prime Minister and it's We've got a chance to choose someone

:12:27.:12:31.

who's going to really pull It's an honour and also a great

:12:32.:12:36.

responsibility and I'm Soon their votes will be cast

:12:37.:12:43.

for new leadership and a voice Let's talk to our political

:12:44.:12:49.

editor Laura Kuenssberg, What is your sense tonight that we

:12:50.:13:07.

know who is in the final two of the kind of contest we are likely to

:13:08.:13:10.

get? Over the course of the next couple of months we will track every

:13:11.:13:14.

step, tumble and twist and turn of the contest but there are things

:13:15.:13:20.

even from today's result that have changed things. It is worth marking

:13:21.:13:24.

how extraordinary it is that Andrea Leadsom could now be our next Prime

:13:25.:13:26.

Minister. Before the referendum campaign, where she took such a big

:13:27.:13:30.

role, she wasn't even very well-known around Westminster, let

:13:31.:13:33.

alone around the country and many MPs obviously have doubts about her

:13:34.:13:37.

level of experience. But whether or not she wins the race, she's clearly

:13:38.:13:42.

someone who is set for a major role in politics in the coming years.

:13:43.:13:46.

Second of all, the extent of the margin by which Theresa May won,

:13:47.:13:50.

suggests she really is the clear favourite and that the majority of

:13:51.:13:54.

Conservative MPs believe in her and they want the party members to

:13:55.:14:01.

listen to that. Third of all, one of the really interesting longer-term

:14:02.:14:07.

things is that today shows quite a brutal fading, fading fast of the

:14:08.:14:10.

influence of the so-called Notting Hill Tories, that set of politicians

:14:11.:14:14.

who years ago worked together to get David Cameron to be the leader of

:14:15.:14:18.

the party and then of course into number 10, with Michael Gove

:14:19.:14:21.

crashing out of the race in the way he z that show that is group, who

:14:22.:14:25.

controlled the top of the party for a decade, are losing their power and

:14:26.:14:30.

their influence is disappearing and lastly, of course, in 2016, maybe

:14:31.:14:34.

this shouldn't matter any more, maybe it doesn't matter to many

:14:35.:14:39.

people who are watching this, but we are definitely going to have our

:14:40.:14:43.

next Prime Minister as a woman, whichever candidate wins. And given

:14:44.:14:47.

that will only be the second time in our history that that has happened,

:14:48.:14:50.

today is significant just for that. Thank you very much.

:14:51.:14:55.

In Birmingham, five men have been crushed to death at a recycling

:14:56.:14:58.

plant after a concrete wall and a load of scrap metal

:14:59.:15:01.

A sixth man is being treated in hospital.

:15:02.:15:04.

The accident happened in the Nechells area

:15:05.:15:06.

and our correspondent Robert Hall is at the scene.

:15:07.:15:15.

More than 12 hours after the first emergency vehicles dashed through

:15:16.:15:21.

the gates behind me, this operation has been suspended for the night and

:15:22.:15:25.

it will resume in a morning. The day shift here had clocked on as normal.

:15:26.:15:29.

Tragedy overtook some of them in a matter of seconds. By the time

:15:30.:15:33.

paramedics arrived, they were unable to save or even reach the five men

:15:34.:15:37.

who lay under tonnes of steel and concrete. Their friends, families

:15:38.:15:42.

and local politicians have joined together in supporting the

:15:43.:15:45.

investigation which has already begun.

:15:46.:15:48.

12 hours of painstaking work in challenging conditions.

:15:49.:15:49.

The first calls for help at come in just after 9:15am.

:15:50.:15:52.

Emergency services took just minutes to reach the recycling site

:15:53.:15:55.

The site is divided up into storage bays and the retaining wall to one

:15:56.:16:00.

of them had collapsed as staff worked below.

:16:01.:16:05.

We were collecting the metals and something happened.

:16:06.:16:09.

The guys started shouting and telling us to leave the yard,

:16:10.:16:13.

so we have to leave, abandon the trucks and

:16:14.:16:17.

What we've got is a concrete bay and that was divided by lower walls

:16:18.:16:23.

and they are made up of concrete blocks of approximately 1.5 tonnes

:16:24.:16:29.

in weight each and they had fallen onto five people underneath.

:16:30.:16:35.

A sixth was taken to hospital with serious leg injuries.

:16:36.:16:41.

This afternoon the Fire Service brought heavy equipment to the site

:16:42.:16:44.

as they began to move tonnes of scrap metal which had cascaded

:16:45.:16:47.

Outside, police have been briefing a large crowd waiting for news.

:16:48.:16:55.

The men who died have yet to be formally named but all are thought

:16:56.:16:58.

to be from Birmingham's 10,000 strong Gambian community.

:16:59.:17:03.

Many here have links to the five who lost their lives.

:17:04.:17:07.

One of the guys played with me, he's my friend and married

:17:08.:17:10.

He bought a ticket for them to join his family

:17:11.:17:19.

This happens, unfortunately, everybody is sad.

:17:20.:17:26.

According to its website Shredmet has been in business for 25 years

:17:27.:17:29.

processing 1000 tonnes of scrap every day.

:17:30.:17:33.

The company has offered its condolences to every family

:17:34.:17:35.

It says it is cooperating fully with the police investigation.

:17:36.:17:41.

We need to make sure what we do is recover things in an evidentially

:17:42.:17:45.

safe and sound way, so that is a difficult

:17:46.:17:47.

We have had to move a huge amount of metal and concrete.

:17:48.:17:54.

Tonight, the bodies of two victims were taken from the site

:17:55.:17:58.

but the careful, delicate work has some way to run.

:17:59.:18:01.

Only when it's complete can investigators begin to examine

:18:02.:18:04.

the structure and to provide the answers this

:18:08.:18:14.

For the second time in 48 hours, American police officers have shot

:18:15.:18:17.

dead a black man and in this case the aftermath of the shooting

:18:18.:18:21.

was shown live on social media by his girlfriend.

:18:22.:18:24.

So far this year in the US, 123 black people have been shot

:18:25.:18:27.

Official figures show that young black men are 21 times more likely

:18:28.:18:34.

than young white men to be killed by police.

:18:35.:18:37.

The latest shooting happened in a suburb of St Paul,

:18:38.:18:39.

Our North America correspondent Nick Bryant is there.

:18:40.:18:43.

His report starts with images which may upset some viewers.

:18:44.:18:49.

He's licensed, he's carrying but he's licensed to carry.

:18:50.:18:53.

He was trying to get out his ID and his wallet.

:18:54.:18:57.

The immediate aftermath of another police shooting,

:18:58.:19:00.

this time not just caught on camera but streamed live on Facebook.

:19:01.:19:05.

The officer just shot him in his arm.

:19:06.:19:07.

The female passenger in the car, Diamond Reynolds has just

:19:08.:19:10.

seen her boyfriend shot by a policeman -

:19:11.:19:12.

he's fast losing blood and fast losing consciousness.

:19:13.:19:16.

I told him not to reach for anything.

:19:17.:19:21.

You told him to get his ID, Sir, his driver's licence.

:19:22.:19:24.

Please don't tell me my boyfriend went like that.

:19:25.:19:33.

Philando Castile had been pulled over because his rear light

:19:34.:19:35.

wasn't working and apparently told the officer

:19:36.:19:38.

he had a legally-purchased concealed weapon with him in the car.

:19:39.:19:43.

Mr Castile had worked as a cafeteria supervisor

:19:44.:19:45.

Protesters converged on the governor's mansion,

:19:46.:19:56.

draping it with police tape, taken from the scene of the shooting.

:19:57.:19:59.

Giving angry voice to now-familiar cries of protest.

:20:00.:20:07.

Then, Diamond Reynolds stepped before the crowd,

:20:08.:20:16.

carrying her young daughter, who had witnessed everything

:20:17.:20:18.

Not one shot, not two shots, not three shots, not four shots,

:20:19.:20:27.

It's the second shocking incident this week.

:20:28.:20:36.

This is footage from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, showing a black man,

:20:37.:20:45.

Alton Sterling, being held down by police and shot several times.

It's stunning to see in two days what we've been seeing for years.

:21:14.:21:22.

That is the police killing of citizens.

:21:23.:21:27.

The question is, when will there be a systematic response to what has

:21:28.:21:31.

been a systemic problem in the United States?

:21:32.:21:37.

I think that we've been saying this over and over again,

:21:38.:21:40.

and I think the last two days have been a real tipping point for how

:21:41.:21:47.

With so much fury in so many communities, the fear is this

could be the start of a long, hot summer -

The police have promised an independent investigation and the

governor of Minnesota has said all the indications are that the actions

:22:19.:22:23.

of the police officer were way in excess of what the situation

:22:24.:22:27.

warranted. The President's spokesman has said Barack Obama is deeply

:22:28.:22:31.

disturbed by this week's police shootings and this doesn't have to

:22:32.:22:34.

be. Cars this doesn't have to be the new normal.

about retailers saying that consumer confidence has been hit, that could

be affected by all sorts of things like weather. The pound is worth a

A Muslim taxi driver has admitted murdering a shopkeeper in Glasgow

:25:41.:25:43.

because he believed he'd shown disrespect for Islam.

:25:44.:25:45.

Tanveer Ahmed drove from Bradford to Glasgow to attack Assad Shah

:25:46.:25:47.

The shopkeeper had uploaded hundreds of videos about his spiritual

:25:48.:25:51.

Our Scotland editor Sarah Smith has the story.

:25:52.:25:57.

Assad Shah was a well-known and popular figure, murdered

:25:58.:26:00.

The local community staged an all-night vigil, shocked by this

:26:01.:26:09.

The act itself was four minutes of extreme violence,

:26:10.:26:15.

the likes of which we've not seen before.

:26:16.:26:17.

Tanveer Ahmed, a Sunni Muslim, admits murdering Mr Shah.

:26:18.:26:25.

In the dock today, he watched impassively as the court

:26:26.:26:27.

was shown CCTV footage of a particularly vicious attack.

:26:28.:26:32.

Afterwards he waited at the scene of the crime,

:26:33.:26:35.

immediately telling the police what he'd done.

:26:36.:26:39.

Mr Shah's brother had tried to fight off his attacker.

:26:40.:26:42.

Now he doesn't want to be identified.

:26:43.:26:45.

I really don't have any message for that monster.

:26:46.:26:48.

He basically took away a person who was peaceful, who wanted unity

:26:49.:26:51.

in the world, who wanted the communities to unite.

:26:52.:26:55.

When police said they believed the murder was religiously motivated

:26:56.:26:59.

it was assumed Assad Shah had been targeted because he was

:27:00.:27:02.

an Ahmadiyya Muslim - a minority Islamic group.

:27:03.:27:06.

Now it appears there was a different motive.

:27:07.:27:10.

Mr Shah frequently posted videos on social media in which he appears

:27:11.:27:14.

to be claiming to be a prophet and a messenger of God.

:27:15.:27:17.

It appears to be those videos, recorded here at Shah's shop,

:27:18.:27:26.

not his Ahmadiyya faith, that motivated Tanveer Ahmed.

:27:27.:27:29.

After watching the videos online he drove here from Bradford,

:27:30.:27:33.

determined to kill Mr Shah, telling police afterwards

:27:34.:27:37.

he believed Shah had offended the Koran.

:27:38.:27:40.

The murder was celebrated on social media, with Tanveer Ahmed

:27:41.:27:44.

compared to Mumtaz Qadri, who murdered a leading

:27:45.:27:47.

The BBC has spoken to Qadri's brother.

:27:48.:27:52.

He says he communicated with Tanveer Ahmed just days before

:27:53.:27:55.

Did Tanvir tell you that he thought Assad Shah was blasphemous?

:27:56.:28:00.

TRANSLATION: He told me Assad has committed blasphemy and he wanted

:28:01.:28:06.

to register his protest among religious scholars in Pakistan

:28:07.:28:09.

Assalaamu Alaikum, peace be upon you.

:28:10.:28:15.

In Glasgow people of all faiths and none came together to mourn

:28:16.:28:17.

Assad Shah and reject religiously motivated violence,

:28:18.:28:21.

especially what the judge today called this "despicable crime".

Football, and the hosts of Euro 2016, France,

:28:45.:28:46.

have been in action tonight battling it out against Germany

:28:47.:28:49.

Our sports correspondent Katie Gornall was watching

:28:50.:28:52.

Euro 2016 has been fans's party. Here in Marseille they had no

:28:53.:29:03.

intention of leaving early from their tete-a-tete with the world

:29:04.:29:08.

champions, or quietly. Germany remain a formidable hurdle, one that

:29:09.:29:13.

France hasn't overcome at a major tournament in 58 years, but minutes

:29:14.:29:16.

and they nearly have the perfect start. The skill of Antoine

:29:17.:29:20.

Griezmann stopped only by the fingertips of Manuel Neuer. Injury

:29:21.:29:25.

and suspension had forced Germany to make changes. In came Liverpool's

:29:26.:29:30.

Can, almost making an instant impact. The referee slammed on the

:29:31.:29:35.

brakes, he had seen a Schweinsteiger handball. Up stepped Griezmann to

:29:36.:29:38.

swing the game France's way with the last kick of the heart.

:29:39.:29:42.

COMMENTATOR: The stadium celebrates. France had

:29:43.:29:47.

to protect their lead. In fact, they stretched it further. The goalkeeper

:29:48.:29:51.

making it the default Griezmann to score his six of the tournament. Now

:29:52.:29:56.

they were really in the mood. COMMENTATOR:

:29:57.:30:00.

That may very well do it. This for Germany the situation was getting

:30:01.:30:04.

desperate. They needed something special, and nearly got it, but

:30:05.:30:09.

sometimes it's not your night. In the face of near relentless pressure

:30:10.:30:13.

the hosts held firm, for the first time in a lifetime they know how it

:30:14.:30:16.

feels to beat Germany at tournaments. One more victory and

:30:17.:30:18.

the dream is there is. There are still French fans

:30:19.:30:27.

celebrating long after the final whistle. They know their team was

:30:28.:30:30.

not always the best that the night but they saw a battling, brave

:30:31.:30:34.

performance and it will give them an awful lot of belief heading into the

:30:35.:30:39.

final in Paris against Portugal. Katie Gornall in Marseille.

:30:40.:30:42.

It's been the ladies' semifinals day at Wimbledon,

:30:43.:30:44.

but the six-times champion Serena Williams won't be

:30:45.:30:46.

facing her older sister Venus - who's won the title five times -

:30:47.:30:49.

in the final, as many fans had hoped.

:30:50.:30:51.

Our sports correspondent Joe Wilson has the story.

:30:52.:30:57.

It is hard for today's Wimbledon visitors to remember,

:30:58.:30:59.

but there was a time here before Williams.

:31:00.:31:04.

There was a time when they were just two girls in Los Angeles,

:31:05.:31:07.

Since Venus' first Wimbledon triumph 16 years ago,

:31:08.:31:13.

the Williams sisters have not simply transformed tennis,

:31:14.:31:15.

Her semifinal was a kind of mismatch which has

:31:16.:31:29.

Opponent Elena Vesnina was way out of her depth.

:31:30.:31:36.

The only tension was whether the whole thing

:31:37.:31:38.

Venus Williams has learned to take nothing for granted.

:31:39.:31:51.

At 36, she's battled her own ill-health as well as a new

:31:52.:31:53.

Angelique Kerber on the other side of the net here.

:31:54.:32:00.

To be in another semifinal was a feat for Venus, but Kerber,

:32:01.:32:02.

the current Australian Open champion, was just better.

:32:03.:32:06.

Well, Kerber verses Serena in the final could be a belter,

:32:07.:32:12.

but we may well wonder what would tennis be

:32:13.:32:14.

without the Williams sisters, and as they prepare

:32:15.:32:16.

to play doubles here, just what would they do

:32:17.:32:27.

Here on BBC One it's time for the news where you are.
