Nigel Farage is standing aside as the Ukip leader - | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
He told supporters he'd achieved his goal when Britain voted | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
During the referendum campaign I said "I want my country back." | :00:13. | :00:20. | |
What I'm saying today is I want my life back. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
The man with a pint - he reached parts of Britain | :00:25. | :00:32. | |
other politicians didn't, inspiring some, angering others. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Also tonight - the race to lead the Conservatives, | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
and the job of negotiating Britain's exit from the EU. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
The Energy Minister, Andrea Leadsom, launches her bid and says EU | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
citizens living here should be allowed to stay. | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
Chris Evans pulls out of the new Top Gear show - | :00:52. | :00:56. | |

to go head-to-head as Wales take on Portugal. | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
Coming up in the sport on BBC News: Britain's Andy Murray aims for a | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
straight ninth quarterfinal here at Wimbledon, but standing | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
in his way is Australian Nick Kyrgios. | :01:17. | :01:42. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
Nigel Farage, the leader of Ukip, has announced that he is stepping | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
aside as leader of the party he founded to campaign for Britain's | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
He said that task had now been achieved, though he'd be watching | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
to make sure there was no backsliding in | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
Well, those negotiations will be headed by whoever becomes | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
Today the Leave campaigner Andrea Leadsom launched her bid. | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
Here's our political editor Laura Kuenssberg. | :02:10. | :02:20. | |
Nervous? Nigel Farage? It looked that way. Moments before he was to | :02:21. | :02:31. | |
reveal that his time was up. The leader of Ukip, Nigel Farage... His | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
main work is done. I now feel I have done my bit, that I couldn't | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
possibly achieve more than we managed to get in that referendum so | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
I feel it is right that I should now stand aside as leader of Ukip. | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
During the referendum campaign, I said, I want my country back. What | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
I'm saying today is I want my life back and it begins right now, thank | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
you. But his parting shot? Ironically for the man who has | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
pushed to reduce immigration, a call for all five contenders to be the | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
next Prime Minister to promised EU nationals already here can stay for | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
good. Everybody who has come to this country legally has fully protected | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
rights. The fact that hereafter we will have a different immigration | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
system and not an open door is a separate issue. What happens to him | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
or her or them, the 3 million EU migrants who have made their lives | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
here is becoming one of the big first tests of the contest to be the | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
next Prime Minister. EU countries have consistently said we cannot | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
trade freely with them if their people cannot move freely here. | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
Andrea Leadsom, Tory minister and want to be Prime Minister, says | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
whether from Portugal or Poland, they should be able to stay. I | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
commit today to guaranteeing the right of our EU friends who have | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
already come here to live and work. We must give them certainty. There | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
is no way they will be bargaining chips in our negotiations. One of | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
her Eurosceptic rivals who also wants Number Ten, Liam Fox, said he | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
would like EU nationals to be able to stay but stop short of a | :04:24. | :04:32. | |
guarantee. I would like us to come to a mutual decision that those who | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
are already here have full rights to remain, and I would want to see | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
mutuality in that particular arrangement. The Foreign Secretary, | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
who is backing Theresa May, told me that firm promises cannot yet be | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
made. Those who are saying today, no, we will make a unilateral | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
commitment that EU nationals can stay in the UK without extracting a | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
matching promise that Brits in Spain are able to stay there, I think are | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
selling our people out to cheat. We have to make sure this is a | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
reciprocal arrangement. The Foreign Secretary has been talking to his | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
counterparts around the continent and says we cannot expect to control | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
immigration and not lose out on trade. There will be a trade-off | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
because the new political reality in Britain is that we cannot carry on | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
with full freedom of movement as a right as we have seen it in the | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
past, and that will mean that we are not able to get full and unfettered | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
access to the market. What all the contenders for Number Ten are | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
grappling with is not just the question of why they believe they | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
are the right person for the job, but how will they unpick and reshape | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
our relationship with the rest of the world? What happens to people | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
from Spain, Poland or Portugal who are already here is the first big | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
question, but there is no way with complex negotiations ahead that it | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
will be the last. It is not likely that people from other EU countries | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
will have to leave, but working out what happens to those who have made | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
their way to the UK will help decide who gets to move in here. | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
Whether it was a photo opportunity in a pub or a verbal assault | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
in the European parliament, there was no mistaking | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
Nigel Farage's single-minded determination to pull Britain out | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
Arguably, he reshaped British politics over the last two decades. | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
Our political correspondent Ben Wright looks at his | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
career and what might happen to his party next. | :06:32. | :06:42. | |
The moment of victory. And time to bow out. For two decades, Nigel | :06:43. | :06:56. | |
Farage had a mission, to lead Britain out of the EU. While Ukip | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
has just one MP at Westminster, the party's impact on politics has been | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
huge. Probably one of the most influential politicians in the | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
post-war era, not just of this century, because if it wasn't for | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
Nigel Farage and his hard work and the Ukip activists, we wouldn't have | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
had a referendum on our membership of the EU. The former city trader | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
was a founder of Ukip and soon distilled its pitch to a simple | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
phrase. What people are saying is get Britain out. In 1999, Farage was | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
elected to the European Parliament, a place he mocked from the start. | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
You have the charisma of a damp rag and the appearance of a low-grade | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
bank clerk. He wanted Britain to leave, but the years Ukip could not | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
break through with voters and in 2006 David Cameron memorably mocked | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
them. I mean Ukip, it is just a bunch of fruit cakes and closet | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
racists. A decade later, Nigel Farage would have the last laugh. | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
With his love of the drink, Farage is not like most politicians but the | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
jovial demeanour disguised serious intent. The seriousness that | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
hardened after he was injured in a plane crash in 2010, an experience | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
that spurred him on. Over the next five years Ukip made huge strides, | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
coming first in the European elections in 2014. He celebrated in | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
a Westminster pub of course. Ukip's campaign was cutting through, not | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
only winning over disillusioned Tories, but many working-class | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
Labour voters as well. David Cameron promised an EU referendum, in part | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
to head off the Ukip advance. Today in Essex, where Ukip came second in | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
the general election, some disappointment at Nigel Farage's | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
decision. Shocked when you told me, he seems a nice guy, not scared to | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
say what he wants. It up the party from being a fringe organisation to | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
a mainstream political force is so very impressive figure. I am glad he | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
is going, especially the way he treated people in the EU, the way he | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
spoke to people is disgusting. A divisive rabble-rouser to some, | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
their hero to others, Ukip without Nigel Farage will lose some of its | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
colour. Where the party heads next is a question for his successor. | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has made a direct appeal | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
After a week in which he's lost the support of most of his MPs, | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
he posted a video on social media today defending his | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
Earlier, Angela Eagle - who resigned from the Shadow Cabinet last week - | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
warned that she will mount a challenge if Mr Corbyn | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
Our Political Correspondent Vicki Young has the details. | :09:50. | :09:58. | |
Nice to see you all thanks so much for coming. | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
Resignations are popular at Westminster right now, but the | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
Labour leader has never been a follower of fashion. | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
Jeremy Corbyn's under enormous pressure to go, but | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
today he couldn't have been clearer... | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
Only nine months ago I was very honoured to be elected leader of our | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
party. Using social media to speak | :10:20. | :10:20. | |
directly to his party, But many of his MPs are in no mood | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
for compromise and Angela Eagle says she's to launch | :10:24. | :10:34. | |
a leadership challenge. I have the support to run | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
and I will do so if Jeremy doesn't Last week, more than 60 | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
of Mr Corbyn's front bench team Then in a vote of no-confidence, | :10:42. | :10:50. | |
more than 170 Labour their leader, but his team say | :10:51. | :11:00. | |
he was elected by a quarter of a million party members and thousands | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
more are signing up to support him. There's been some talk of a brokered | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
deal between the Labour leader and his MPs, but it's hard to see | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
how that would work. Many now expect | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
a leadership contest. One MP told me they'd have the fight | :11:19. | :11:19. | |
of their lives and if Mr Corbyn was | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
re-elected they are openly talking about a split | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
in Mr Corbyn's team said | :11:26. | :11:26. | |
that he is simply getting on And this afternoon, that meant | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
a grilling from MPs about allegations of anti-Semitism | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
in the Labour Party. organisations are fearful | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
with you as leader of the Labour Party, | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
that you are fostering a period in | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
the party were anti-Semitism exists? I think it's deeply unfair | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
and deeply So you regret using those words? Of | :12:00. | :12:17. | |
course. Labour MPs hoped Mr Corbyn will resign but he is drawing | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
strength from the tens of thousands of party members who propelled him | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
to victory last year. For now, there is no sign of this stand-off coming | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
to an end. Chris Evans has stepped down | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
as presenter of Top Gear, saying his best shot | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
at the programme wasn't good enough. Ratings for the BBC show, | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
which was relaunched in May after Jeremy Clarkson | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
was sacked, have been falling. Here's our Media Correspondent, | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
David Sillito. Welcome to Top Gear with our | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
all-new improved audience. When Chris Evans replaced | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
Jeremy Clarkson as the face of Top Jeremy Clarkson had turned the show | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
into a global success story and then Chris Evans stepped in alongside | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
former Friends star, Matt Le Blanc. But Chris Evans has | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
lasted just one series. He's faced a stream of negative | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
stories in the press and also allegations about his behaviour | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
going back to the 90s. This morning, he said | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
nothing as he left Radio 2. A few hours later, he sent | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
this tweet. One Top Gear fan who is also | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
a former Stig agrees. I think it was an obvious | :13:25. | :13:33. | |
consequence of the first show, Now, the shows have got | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
an awful lot better, but that was the key moment | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
the new show and Chris had And they just didn't get | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
the first one right. When you add in catch-up and | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
repeats, around 9 million did watch the first programme, | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
but since then figures have dipped. Last night's ratings | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
were below 2 million. The BBC says the show will continue, | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
filming for the new series But while Chris Evans will be back | :14:09. | :14:10. | |
on air on Radio 2 tomorrow, the world's biggest factual | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
programme has once again Six men have been jailed | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
for distributing drugs The judge at Birmingham Crown Court | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
said the quantities of cocaine, heroin and ecstasy involved | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
were truly colossal. The drugs, valued at more | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
than a billion pounds, were hidden inside Dutch ambulances | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
which entered the UK The investment company Standard Life | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
has suspended dealing The company said it took | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
the decision following an increase in requests from investors | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
about withdrawing their funds as a result of uncertainty | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
for the UK commercial real estate market following the EU | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
referendum result. The Chair of a major child abuse | :14:52. | :15:02. | |
inquiry in Scotland has resigned following claims she made comments | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
which were "offensive" to survivors. Our Scotland Editor Sarah Smith | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
is in Glasgow with more details. You had better give us the | :15:10. | :15:19. | |
background to this? Even before Susan O'Brien QC resigned today, the | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
Education Secretary had already begun proceedings to try to have her | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
sacked. The comments she said were unacceptable, made during a training | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
session during a specialist psychologist. Concerns were raised | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
when she appeared to make light of abuse suffered by an individual at a | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
boarding school and about a joke she made about the teacher facing child | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
sex allegations. The Education Secretary said she has shown a | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
shocking level of misjudgement over this affair and he was worried that | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
if she stayed in post, and these comments were made public, it could | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
undermine comments in the whole enquiry. Susan O'Brien has fired | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
back at dramatic resignation letter, in which he accuses the Scottish | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
Government of trying to control and micromanage her enquiry and attempt | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
to undermine her. Another member of the panel resigned last week in | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
support of Susan O'Brien. While survivors of child sex abuse in | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
Scotland are left calling for a judge led enquiry into historical | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
allegations, like the one currently being held in England and Wales. | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
Thank you. Wales are preparing to take | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
on Portugal in the country's biggest fixture ever, | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
the semi-finals of Euro 2016! It's a meeting which will see two | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
giants of international football, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo, | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
who both play for Real Madrid, But Wales's Gareth Bale insists | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
the match is about much more Our Wales Correspondent Hywel | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
Griffith is at the Wales training base | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
on the French coast. Together on a journey | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
that is breaking new ground. Wales are the first team | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
from Britain to make it to They've shown they've got the guts | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
and the heart to perform Some, of course, are used | :17:05. | :17:13. | |
to the limelight. At Real Madrid, Gareth Bale's every | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
move is under scrutiny. In this semifinal he'll | :17:18. | :17:18. | |
face his Portuguese team-mate, We know that everybody knows that | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
really it's about two Although you are the star, | :17:21. | :17:28. | |
do you feel that really it's more that some of the other players have | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
come onto a different level? There's no stars in our team, | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
we are all together, We all run for each other, | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
we all tackle for each other Wales' low-key approach has meant | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
enjoying Brittany's beaches with ice creams and kickabouts, | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
keeping things relaxed. But Gareth Bale's meeting | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
with Cristiano Ronaldo As the younger of the two, | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
Gareth Bale has 60 caps, While this is Bale's | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
first major tournament, But so far, Bale is having a better | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
Euro 2016 with three goals Portugal's path to this semifinal | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
depended on penalties. They've not won a game | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
within 90 minutes. That has some Welsh fans and former | :18:25. | :18:38. | |
players daring to dream. They are going up | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
a level, every game. He didn't cuddle me when we played | :18:46. | :18:46. | |
together, he's given me six cuddles already in the last three weeks | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
when we were over there. We're all proud of them, | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
all of the nation are proud. With the attention trained | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
on Gareth Bale, Wales have found a way of making | :18:56. | :18:57. | |
the whole team thrive. Having come this far, | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
they're in no mood Tennis now and both Roger Federer | :19:01. | :19:01. | |
and Serena Williams sailed through their fourth | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
round matches today. Britain's number 1 Andy Murray is | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
on court now as Joe Wilson reports. Well out by week two. It is fine if | :19:13. | :19:24. | |
you are turf behind the baseline, but the soloist must be stronger. | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
Andy Murray prepared. He wasn't playing Roger Federer got past Steve | :19:29. | :19:38. | |
Johnson. The American was the fly chasing uncharted territory. Roger | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
Federer stood and watched, waiting to swat. Straight sets win, Roger | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
Federer in his 14th Wimbledon quarterfinal, equalling the record | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
with the spirit of a teenager. 149 days after federal, Serena Williams. | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
But 34 she still has great power. But progress isn't always easy, | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
especially when the court is a bit slippy. Drizzle closed the roof and | :20:06. | :20:13. | |
suddenly Serena Williams was liberated against Svetlana | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
Kuznetsova. 6-0 in the second set. Through. In waiting for someone? | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
Andy Murray's match B game just after five o'clock. This time he was | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
playing an opponent talented enough to beat him. Early signs, this is a | :20:31. | :20:39. | |
match which could have everything. Andy Murray one very tight first set | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
and has just broken the serve in the second set. Both players have a | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
certain reputation for their temper, but they are friends, and so far it | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
has been a great watch and very good-natured. | :20:56. | :20:55. | |
Time for the weather. 12 showers, but much of eastern England is dry | :20:56. | :21:05. | |
today, unlike what we have seen further north. This evening we have | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
some heavy bursts of rain working from west to east. If you are on the | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
roads, a lot of surface water, a brief spell of intense rain in | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
northern England especially. Heavy rain eases in the night, just cloud | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
and patchy rain and drizzle heading south east across England and Wales. | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
Introducing fresh weather to the north and but drier conditions into | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
the morning and humid across East Anglia and the south east. The cloud | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
and patchy rain or drizzle here. A strengthening wind pushing away the | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
humid air. Much of England and Wales and Northern Ireland, dry and fine | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
Tuesday. Plenty of showers across Scotland, which could be into the | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
north-east of England. Generally a fresher day, nice notably across the | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
South but more sunshine in the north-west are not too bad. Cool | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
start to Wednesday, Sony stop the many, but the cloud will increase | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
from the West and it is the north-west of the UK which will see | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
the rain developed. Northern Ireland and western Scotland and a few spots | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
to western part of England and Scotland. Temperatures will rise, | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
but a wet night for part of Scotland and Northern Ireland. That links | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
into another area of low pressure but Thursday which will introduce | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
cloud and outbreaks of rain from the south-west and the north-east of the | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
country. Rainfall amounts will bury. But to the far north we will see | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
something brighter. The south east staying brighter again. | :22:45. | :22:48. |
