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. | |

Minister will be a woman, following the latest round of voting | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
among MPs in the Conservative Theresa May, the Home Secretary, | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
received 199 votes and the Energy Minister, | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
Andrea Leadsom, got 84. The Justice Secretary, | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
Michael Gove, won just 46 votes Mrs May and Mrs Leadsom will now | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
spend the next few weeks canvassing support among Conservative Party | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
members - around 150,000 They will make the final choice, | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
not the party's MPs. This report from our political | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
editor Laura Kuenssberg does The march of Theresa May, striding | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
easily on to the ticket. Miles ahead of both | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
her rivals today. Her supporters already crying "Prime | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
Minister." This vote shows that | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
the Conservative Party can come together and that | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
under my leadership it will. We need proven leadership | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
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 | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
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 | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
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, | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
as we go to the country, Are you surprised by how | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
strong the support was? Well, she got 165 earlier | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
in the week, a fantastic, To go forward even further and get | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
to near 200, it is a clear indication of what parliamentarians | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
think we need in our next Prime I can't hear you, are | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
you ready for Andrea? Traditional Tories, though, | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
are excited by Andrea The eurosceptic Energy Minister | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
is far less experienced. Her colleagues need reassurance | :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 | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
short list with no positive With far less experience than her | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
rival, why should it be her? How difficult was it | :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 | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
to lead the way through it But just a couple of days | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
into the race she's already been I spent the best part of ten years | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
in BZW and Barclays and the best part of ten years | :05:09. | :05:21. | |
in Investco for Petrol. I've also had a part-time | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
job in Sainsbury's. I started life as a 14-year-old | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
silver service waitress. My CV is incredibly varied and it is | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
all absolutely true. I think this is, | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
you know, ridiculous. You see some of the people | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
supporting you in this campaign have gone on the record and said one | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
of your great strengths is that you do have experience managing | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
billions of pounds. None of my colleagues have | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
misrepresented that I was managing investments on behalf | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
of pensioners and savers. I have worked in funds management, | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
as senior investment officer You do not regret at all how your | :05:54. | :06:05. | |
previous experience has A stunning achievement | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
by Andrea Leadsom. I think she's going to provide | :06:11. | :06:21. | |
exactly the right kind of positive and optimistic and confident | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
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 | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
round of this leadership contest. REPORTER: Do you great | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
what you did, Mr Gove? This is a moment Theresa May's team | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
will treasure - a more successful start to the race | :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 | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
longest-serving home Mrs Leadsom spent many years working | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
in financial services. And the two women have key policy | :07:11. | :07:22. | |
differences, as our deputy political Which one could be Britain's | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
next Margaret Thatcher? It goes down well with the Tory | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
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 | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
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 | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
for somebody with experience Her years in the City, | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
where she denies hyping her role, must have helped handling | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
her living expenses. We took the view we were going | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
to buy our own place and fund it ourselves, | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
so there won't be any She started her political climb | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
as a protege of the Chancellor George Osborne, before finally | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
siding with his opponents on the EU Andrea's message is | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
all about positivity. It's about restoring certainty | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
and stability to our economy and really capitalising on all those | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
opportunities that have come She campaigned to leave | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
the European Union, but says EU migrants already | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
in the UK should stay. For small, new businesses | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
with three or fewer staff, she does not support the minimum | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
wage or maternity rights, and she So two women left standing | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
and a genuine choice for the Conservative | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
faithful who will pick So the contest to elect | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
the new Conservative leader - and Britain's next Prime Minister - | :10:14. | :10:23. | |
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, | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
a student and Tory There's a lot of division, | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
old people, young Even within the party, | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
MPs and members, everyone And who wows you at | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
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 | :18:05. | :18:07. | |

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. | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
So another police shooting, another black family left to mourn, | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
another racial flashpoint and this is happening | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray. | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
The names associated with some of the more high-profile | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
This year alone, 123 African-Americans | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
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 | :21:48. | :21:59. | |
could be the start of a long, hot summer - | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
words which, for decades, have been uttered with a sense of foreboding. | :22:03. | :22:13. | |
The police have promised an independent investigation and the | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
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. | :22:35. | :22:35. | |
Nick Bryant in Minneapolis. A brief look at some | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
of the day's other news stories. The former Prime Minister Tony Blair | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
has said he regrets he did not challenge the intelligence | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
assessments about Saddam Hussein and his alleged stockpile of weapons | :22:47. | :22:47. | |
of mass destruction. The intelligence was | :22:48. | :22:49. | |
criticised as "flawed" But Mr Blair told the BBC today | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
that he still believed it had been A judge in Northern Ireland has | :22:52. | :22:57. | |

been jailed for rigging the interbank lending rate | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
known as Libor. Three of the men - Jonathan Mathew, | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
Jay Merchant and Alex Pabon - were convicted of conspiracy | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
to fraud last week. The fourth had pleaded | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
guilty in October 2014. The judge said the case had shown | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
"the absence of the integrity that High street stores have warned that | :23:36. | :23:38. | |

the pound was up slightly against the dollar at $1.29, just | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
above its 31-year low yesterday. It's now two weeks since | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
the referendum was held, so what's Our business editor | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
Simon Jack is here. It's just two weeks, but are there | :24:02. | :24:13. | |
any reliable signals at this point? It seems like a lot has happened in | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
those two weeks but in economic terms this is early days. I'm wary | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
about retailers saying that consumer confidence has been hit, that could | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
be affected by all sorts of things like weather. The pound is worth a | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
lot less and it was two weeks ago. It is down 10% against both the euro | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
and the dollar. Where is that going to show up? You might say the petrol | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
forecourt, petrol might start creeping up a bit because it's | :24:40. | :24:44. | |

like BP, AstraZeneca, BP shares are up by 17%. Conversely people who | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
have to buy things in dollars, like airlines, their shares are down 26%, | :24:56. | :25:00. | |

have been house-builders. And who is exposed to the property market | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
across the board, the banks, they are down 25-30%. You won't see a | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
huge amount of difference in everything apart from the pound. The | :25:20. | :25:23. | |

The governor of the Bank of England said if things get a bit rough, and | :25:28. | :25:31. | |

the corner. That could come as early as next week. Simon Jack, thank you. | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
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". | :28:22. | :28:25. | |

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. | :32:28. | :32:30. |
