Andrea Leadsom, one of the two candidates in the fight to become | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
Conservative leader, has suggested to The Times that | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
she'd be a better Prime Minister than Theresa May - | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
Supporters of Mrs May - the rival for leader | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
and who doesn't have children - have called the remarks offensive. | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Mrs Leadsom has criticised the newspaper for the way her | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
Our Political Correspondent, Eleanor Garnier, reports. | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
We have so much more to give. The outside in the race, the Eurosceptic | :00:51. | :00:58. | |
energy Minister who is exciting traditional Tories. But the mum of | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
three is facing criticism for an interview in the times where C -- | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
she suggested being a mum would make a better choice for Prime Minister. | :01:11. | :01:29. | |
This morning, outside her home in Northamptonshire, she defended her | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
comments. I was repeatedly asked about my children and I repeatedly | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
made it clear that I did not want this to be in any way a feature of | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
the campaign. I am disgusted at the way this has been presented. I want | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
to be crystal clear that everyone has an equal stake in our society | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
and in the future of our country. But being a mum was a big part of | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
her message during the referendum campaign. I ran financial services | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
businesses for 25 years and I did a stint as city minister and I'm a | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
mum. It clear Andrea Leadsom was not trying to be cruel to Theresa May, | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
but it has shown her inexperience and, some say, her lack of judgment, | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
so crucial if you want to be Prime Minister. Her team are making an | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
official complaint to the times, but the journalist who did the interview | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
is standing by her story. I don't think it's got a journalism, I just | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
think it's journalism, it's accurate journalism. I asked a question, she | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
answered it, I reported what she said. She is trying to become Prime | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
Minister of this country, judgment and character matters as much as | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
policy. Yesterday, Theresa May launched this pledge for a clean | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
campaign. There was no official response from her today, but she | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
posted it again on social media. Despite appeals for unity, after a | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
fractious referendum campaign, the Conservative leadership race is | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
already off to a controversial start. Eleanor Barnier, BBC News. | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
The Labour MP Angela Eagle has announced she'll launch a formal | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
challenge to Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the party. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
It comes after talks between Labour's deputy leader - | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
Tom Watson - and union leaders broke down over their continued | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Our Political Correspondent Iain Watson is at Westminster - | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
and this rift in the Labour party over it's leadership appears | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Another extraordinary day in British politics. We should be getting used | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
to them at Westminster. But this decision by Angela Eagle means the | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
two main parties will be locked in a leadership contest this summer. It | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
follows the angry breakdown of those talks between the unions. And a | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
measure of how poisonous things are at the moment, the leader of the | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
Unite trade union accused Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson for an act | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
of sabotage or pulling the plug on those talks. Jeremy Corbyn is | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
insisting he is determined to fight on. Speaking to a trade union | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
audience in Durham today he said he wasn't under any pressure to resign, | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
the people under real pressure in Britain where families trying to | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
feed their kids. Another leadership challenge, from MP Tom Smith, is | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
talking about his party splitting apart. It could be about something | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
much bigger than that, not overstating this, it could be about | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
the future of the Labour Party as we know it. In the past few minutes | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
President Obama has said Americans of all races are outraged by | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
yesterday's fatal attacks on the police. Five officers were murdered | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
in Dallas by a man who later killed himself. Police found weapons and | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
bomb-making equipment at the home of Michael Johnson. He said he wanted | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
to kill white people, especially white officers. James Cook sent this | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
report from Texas. In Texas, and across the United | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
States, the men and women in blue are morning. The attack here in | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
Dallas was the deadliest on law enforcement since 911. Denise's | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
husband Mike was an officer here for ten years. Every night he came home, | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
that was my perk, that he came home. And he did. We need to start loving | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
one another instead of hating one another. I could Johnson was a US | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
Army survey who served in Afghanistan. He told police he | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
wanted to kill white police officers. This was a crime driven by | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
hate. The men turning a peaceful process at police killings of black | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
men into an act of violent revenge. In the 25-year-old's suburban home, | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
they found more bombs and bullets. And a journal of combat tactics. Far | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
from coming together after the latest killings, the US feels as | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
divided as ever. In Atlanta and elsewhere thousands of Americans are | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
still taking to the streets to protest against the police. And in | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Dallas they are preparing to say goodbye to five officers who lost | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
their lives in the line of duty. At times, it feels like this has become | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
the motif of the United States. This time, the shrine is dominated by the | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
colour blue. The flowers, the prayers, the heartbreaking messages | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
are the same. This, somehow, has become routine. James Cook, BBC | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
News, Dallas. David Cameron says MPs will decide, | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
in just over a week, The vote - on the proposal | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
to replace the four submarines - will be held | :06:34. | :06:46. | |
on the eighteenth of July. Serena Williams has won her seventh | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
Wimbledon singles title - beating Germany's Angelique Kerber | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
in straight sets. The victory means Williams has | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
equalled Steffi Graff's record From Wimbledon, | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
David Ornstein reports. The latest shot at history. For | :06:59. | :07:12. | |
Serena Williams, the shadow of Steffi Graf looms large. A year | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
spent chasing her grand slam singles record, now a fourth chance to match | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
it. Among those to deny her, today's opponent, Angelique Kerber. Steffi | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
Graf is her inspiration, double motivation. If the quality of past | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
finals has been doubted, this one delivered. When the next rankings | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
are published, these will be the world's top two. But Williams is | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
number one and she eventually broke Kerber's resistance to edge an | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
outstanding first set. And just look at what it meant. Kerber continued | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
to play without fear, battling from the baseline, even resorting to | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
close combat. Williams was down, but perhaps that was simply a rehearsal | :08:01. | :08:09. | |
for her celebration. Game set and match Ms Williams. The ghost of | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
Steffi Graf finally laid to rest. 22 and counting. It's been incredibly | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
difficult not to think about it. I had a couple of tries this year, I | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
lost to two great opponents, one of them being Angelique. It makes | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
victory even sweeter to know how hard I worked for it. Thank you guys | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
for being all here to see number 22, this is awesome. Records exist not | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
only to be equalled, but broken, so can we expect more to tumble? | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
Serena's not done, in my opinion, the look I saw on her face, the look | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
in her eyes in her last dummy finals match, I am seen it for a long time | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
on Serena's phase. She smashed the record of Steffi Graf and she is not | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
over, she wants to break more records. There was also a landmark | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
win for the host nation. Gordon Reid and Alfie Hewitt claiming the men's | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
wheelchair doubles title, the first British pair to do so. Gordon Reid | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
is back in action tomorrow, he plays in the first ever men's wheelchair | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
singles final to be staged at the All-England Club. The big one is | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
Andy Murray against Milos Raonic. Murray aiming for his second | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
Wimbledon title. More to come through the evening on the BBC News | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
Channel. I'll be back with the team for the late news at 10:15pm. | :09:35. | :09:37. |
