Britain's next Prime Minister will be a woman. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Tory MPs select Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom to go forward | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
The Home Secretary was the overwhelming | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
She declared herself the unity candidate. | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
come together and that under my leadership, it will. | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
When do we want it? Now! | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
There was energetic support for the Energy | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
Does she have the experience necessary? | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
I think what people want in this country is somebody that | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
says what they mean, means what they say, | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
I think that's what people want and that's what I'm trying to do. | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
We'll be looking at the choice facing the party's 150,000 members, | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
who'll be selecting their new leader and the country's Prime Minister. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
Five men are killed and a sixth is seriously injured after a wall | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
collapses at a recycling plant in Birmingham. | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
He was reaching for his wallet and the officer just | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
Caught on camera: the police killing of a black American, | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
Two weeks on from the vote to leave the EU, what is | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
And the dream of a Williams sisters final is over. | :01:18. | :01:26. | |
Venus falls in the last four, but sister Serena is through. | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
And coming up in the sport on BBC News. | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
Serena Williams races into the Wimbledon final | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
in just 48 minutes, aiming for an record-equalling 22nd | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
Britain is set to have its second female Prime Minister, | :01:42. | :02:07. | |
as Conservative MPs whittled down the list to two women in the final | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
round of their ballot to select a new party leader. | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
Theresa May, the Home Secretary, was the overwhelming | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
favourite among MPs, receiving 199 votes. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
The Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom received 84 votes and the Justice | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
Secretary Michael Gove gained the support of 46 fellow MPs. | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
So Mr Gove is now eliminated, and the Conservative Party | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
membership of 150,000 people will now choose | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
between Mrs May and Mrs Leadsom, with the result due to be | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg has more. | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
A warning that her report does contain flash photography. | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
The march of Theresa May, striding easily onto the ticket. Miles ahead | :02:49. | :02:59. | |
of both her rivals today. Her supporters already crying, "Prime | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
Minister". She very well might be, soon. This vote shows that the | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Conservative Party can come together and under my dealership, it will. We | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
need proven leadership, to negotiate the best deal for leaving the | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
European Union to unite our party and our country and to make Britain | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
a country that works not for the privileged few but for everyone. In | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
the grand rooms of Westminster, the vote was clear. Andrea Leadsom, 84 | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
votes, Theresa May, 199 votes. Therefore Michael Gove, having the | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
lowest number of votes, has been eliminated from the ballot. With | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
Michael Gove out and the energy minister, Andrea Leadsom, training, | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
Mrs May's supporters were delighted. Not quite waving on the steps of | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
number ten yet but she has just won the very glaring horsemen of the | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
majority of Tory MPs. Her backers hope her experience makes the clear | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
favourite. She can truly say as we go to the country that she is the | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
unity candidate. Were you surprised by how strong the result was? She | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
got 165 earlier the week which was fantastic and overwhelming in itself | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
but to go forward even further, cutting 200 is a clear indication of | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
what parliamentarians think we need in our next Prime Minister. I can't | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
hear you! But traditional Tories are excited by Andrea Leadsom, her | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
rival. The Eurosceptic energy minister is far less experienced. | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
Her colleagues need reassurance about our record but one wing of the | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
party isn't easy as big enough to march along the river in an unusual | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
show of Conservative support. What do we want? Lead is the leader. Went | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
we wanted? Now. Before the referendum, she was hardly known. | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
How difficult was it you decide to run? I feel, having played a part in | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
showing this country the prospects for us outside of the EU, I just | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
felt I needed to put myself forward to offer to lead the way through it | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
because I really believe in it. But just a couple of days into the race, | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
she's already been accused of changing her CV. I have not changed | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
my CV. I have had 25 years in finance. I spent the best part of | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
ten years in These are and Barclays and the best part of ten years in | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Invesco perpetual. I've also had a part-time job in Sainsbury is. I | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
started life as a 14-year-old silver service waitress. You know, my CV is | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
incredibly varied and it's all absolutely true. You know, I think | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
this is ridiculous. But her backers think she can win over the Tory | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
members who make the decision. I love the idea of two women battling | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
it out, showing us exactly how politics can change for the better. | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
Justice Secretary Michael Gove betrayed his friend Boris Johnson to | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
run but crashed out today. I'm naturally disappointed I have not | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
been able to make it through to the final round of this leadership | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
contest. This is a moment Theresa May's team will treasure, or | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
successful start to the race and they could have hoped but now MPs | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
lose control the contest goes to the country. It is the Conservative | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
Party, not Parliament, who makes the call. Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, | :06:12. | :06:12. | |
Westminster. So the contest to elect our next | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
Prime Minister has begun, with ballot papers set to go out | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
soon to Conservative Party members. Our special correspondent | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
Ed Thomas is in Nantwich, which is part of a constituency held | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
by the Tories and where the vote on EU membership reflected the UK | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
result to Leave by a small margin. Nantwich, a Cheshire town with a | :06:28. | :06:41. | |
conservative instinct. But here, like elsewhere, decisions that will | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
shape a nation have to be made. This is a new opportunity. People like | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
Carol and Janet, just two Conservative members who helped | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
choose the next Prime Minister. One of the candidates in the digger, I | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
would like to know more about. Who is that? Andrea Leadsom so I will be | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
doing some homework before I make my decision. I'm for Mrs May, I love | :07:03. | :07:11. | |
watches done in the last few years and I love her tenacity. I want some | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
unity. This is not just about the Conservative Party. This is about a | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
Prime Minister who will bring the country together. This time, I feel | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
that the roles are reversed and it's now up to me. I can make a definite | :07:20. | :07:28. | |
decision. So who Harvey 150,000? Experts say Conservative membership | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
is mostly middle-class and over 50 but other voices are keen to be | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
heard. Someone who can lead and unite the party. People like | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
Jonathan, a student and Tory member since he was 14. There's a lot of | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
deep division between old people and young people, rich and poor. Even | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
within the party, MPs, young members, everyone is slightly | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
divided. I want to be wowed by someone. Who does that at the | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
moment? Nobody! There is a power in towns like Nantwich like never | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
before. The voice of Conservative members here and elsewhere will be | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
heard because they alone will choose the next British Prime Minister. A | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
pretty resounding result. And now the faithful have a clear choice. | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
Two women! Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom, the final two in the race | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
to lead. I'm pleased, history has been made, we are going to have | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
another female Prime Minister and it's remarkable, isn't it? Those | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
Conservative members are still here, considering their choice before | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
them. Some of the places you might recognise. | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
Janet, you said you are undecided, is that still the case? It is, I'm | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
delighted with the candidates we have but they have to win my vote | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
and I'll be looking to see what they've got to offer. The important | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
thing is we bring the country together now and make sure we move | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
forward. The talk of unity comes back again and again but Carol, do | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
you feel the sense of responsibility, but it is on your | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
shoulders, not just to elect a leader but also the next Prime | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
Minister? It's absolutely a huge responsibility but it is exciting, | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
taking part in shaping the future for everyone. It is really good, not | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
daunting at all. Thank you so much for talking to us. Soon the votes | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
will be cast and the new leader will be chosen. | :09:20. | :09:19. | |
Ed Thomas, there. Our political editor | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
Laura Kuennsberg is in This was a key moment today but the | :09:22. | :09:30. | |
contest now really begins. It does but you know, one set of results | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
like today can change many things. The extent of Theresa May's victory | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
over her rivals makes her the clear favourites to move into number ten. | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
But you know, Andrea Leadsom, coming from someone who, even a couple of | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
months ago around Westminster was not that well known, let alone | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
around the rest of the country, to become a potential Prime Minister in | :09:50. | :09:59. | |
a couple of months' time, that is quite an achievement and it makes it | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
very likely that even if she does not win, she is somebody who is | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
going to have a pretty major role in government, whatever happens in the | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
contest. Michael Gove crashing out like that also suggests that we have | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
seen today what one MP described to me as the brutal end of the Notting | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
Hill Tories, that group who worked together to modernise the Tory | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
party, who got David Cameron in charge in 2005 and then into number | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
ten in 2010. But more than anything else, today means that the next | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
Prime Minister will be a woman. Maybe that just shouldn't matter any | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
more. It may well not matter to that many people but it is only the | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
second time in our history that will have happened and that alone makes | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
today a significant day. Laura, many thanks. | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
Five men have died in an accident at a recycling plant in Birmingham. | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
A wall is said to have collapsed at the site in the Nechells | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
A sixth man has been taken to hospital with | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
A senior fire officer described the incident as "devastating...for | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
Our correspondent Robert Hall is outside the plant now. | :10:54. | :11:03. | |
More than nine hours after the first emergency vehicles rushed through | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
those gates, this operation is still going on. The morning shift at this | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
recycling site reported for work as normal. The tragedy which overtook | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
them unfolded in seconds and by the time paramedics arrived, there was | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
little they could do for the five men who still lie buried under | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
tonnes of steel and concrete. Their families and local politicians are | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
now backing the investigation which has begun. | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
The first calls for help came in just after 8:45am. | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
Emergency services took minutes to reach the recycling | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
site, which is close to the M6 motorway. | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
The site is divided up into storage bays and the retaining | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
wall to one of them had collapsed, as staff worked below. | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
Something happened, the guys started shouting | :11:48. | :11:58. | |
and telling us to leave the yard, so we had to abandon the trucks and | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
What we've got is a concrete bay that was | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
divided by lower walls and they are made up of concrete | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
blocks of approximately 1.5 tonnes in weight | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
each and they had fallen on to five people underneath. | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
Five men were confirmed as dead and a sixth was | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
taken to hospital with serious leg injuries. | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
This afternoon, the Fire Service had brought heavy equipment | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
to the site as they begin to move tonnes of scrap metal, which have | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
They are still in danger from the unstable wall. | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
The men who died, whose identities have yet to be confirmed, | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
were thought to be from a Gambian community | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
centred on Smethwick in Birmingham's western suburbs. | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
Outside the gates of the recycling centre, family members and friends | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
waited for news, still trying to make sense of what had happened. | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
Well, everybody's a different relation. | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
Cousins, uncles, brothers, everybody have at least some sort of | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
Five of them losing their life in one go, you know, | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
think about it, it is very, very sad. | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
According to its website, ShredNet has been in business | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
for 25 years, processing 1,000 tonnes of scrap every day. | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
The company has offered condolences to every family | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
affected by the tragedy and says it is operating fully | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
We're working with experts from the fire brigade, | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
ambulance and other areas including the Health | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
and Safety Executive, to | :13:38. | :13:38. | |
work through that scene in a methodical way. | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
First, we need to recover the bodies with dignity and | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
secondly, to help us as the investigating authority to | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
understand exactly how the wall came to collapse. | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
The careful, delicate work on site may last several days | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
and only then can investigators begin to examine the structure | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
in detail and provide the answers this community is seeking. | :14:01. | :14:02. | |
Two young children who died after the car they were in plunged | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
into a loch in Argyll and Bute have been named by police in Scotland. | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
The bodies of Leia McCorrisken, who was three, and her two-year-old | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
brother Seth were pulled from Loch nan Druimnean. | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
A 36-year-old woman was taken to nearby Oban Hospital | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
A video has emerged of the fatal shooting of a black man by police | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
in the United States, the second such incident in 48 hours. | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
The victim, Philando Castile, had been pulled over in his car | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
His girlfriend said he was shot as he was reaching | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
The White House said President Obama was "deeply disturbed" | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
You may find some images in his report distressing. | :14:42. | :14:53. | |
He's licensed, he's carrying but he's licensed to carry. | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
He was trying to get out his ID and his wallet. | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
The immediate aftermath of another police shooting, | :14:59. | :15:00. | |
this time not just caught on camera but streamed live on Facebook. | :15:01. | :15:11. | |
He had a firearm and he was reaching for his wallet | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
and the officer just shot him in his arm. | :15:15. | :15:16. | |
The female passenger in the car, Diamond Reynolds, has just | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
seen her boyfriend shot by a policeman and he's fast losing | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
You told him to get his ID, Sir, his driver's licence. | :15:27. | :15:40. | |
Philando Castile had been pulled over because his rear light wasn't | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
working and apparently told the officer he had | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
a legally-purchased concealed weapon with him in the car. | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
Mr Castile had worked as a cafeteria supervisor | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
Protesters converged on the governor's mansion, | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
draping it with police tape, taken from the scene of the shooting | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
and giving angry voice to now familiar cries. | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
Then, Diamond Reynolds stepped before the crowd. | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
The police put four, five shots into him for no reason. | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
It's the latest in a long line of police shootings involving | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
African-Americans and the second high-profile incident this week. | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
This is footage from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, showing a blackman, | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
Alton Stirling being held down by police and shot several times. | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
So another police shooting, another black family left to mourn, | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
another racial flashpoint and this is happening with alarming | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
Already this year in America, 123 African-Americans have been | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
The fear is that this could be the start of a long, hot summer, | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
words which for decades have come with a sense of foreboding. | :16:50. | :17:01. | |
Britain's next Prime Minister will be a woman. | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
Theresa May and Andrea Leasom now have to win support | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
Not for the first time but maybe for the last time it has been a Williams | :17:09. | :17:26. | |
sisters semifinal day at Wimbledon. In Sportsday, the fairy-tale is over | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
for Venus Williams. She loses her semifinal, | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
but younger sister Serena This was the scene in Lyon last | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
night as the Wales team paid tribute to their fans after crashing out | :17:34. | :17:50. | |
of Euro 2016. They lost their semi-final | :17:51. | :17:52. | |
against Portugal 2-0. But despite the heartbreak, | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
it was the best-ever Welsh and tomorrow fans will flock | :17:55. | :18:04. | |
to Cardiff where the returning team Having sung their way through six | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
games, these fans are spent. But what they've experienced in | :18:08. | :18:18. | |
France was priceless. Pretty gutted but obviously really, | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
really proud of what they have done. It's been an absolutely | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
amazing experience. It's the underdog story | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
that everybody loves. Iceland, everybody backed them | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
because they were the underdog and I think everybody has backed | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
Wales for the same reason. In the biggest game in Welsh | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
football history, they couldn't quite reach the same levels | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
as Portugal but Wales' motto - stronger together - meant sticking | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
together, win or lose. This tournament hasn't just | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
swelled pride, it's swelled the coffers of Welsh football, | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
too, for the first time netting If they keep improving, | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
which I think they will, and with Chris in charge, | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
I think they'll certainly qualify for the World Cup in Russia | :19:02. | :19:03. | |
and then it's a case of how Wales may have tasted | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
defeat here in Lyon, but there's been so much to savour | :19:07. | :19:14. | |
about their time here in France. They've not only made history, | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
they've offered real, But first, there's a party planned | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
on the streets of Cardiff. Tomorrow tens of thousands | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
are expected to cheer I think Cardiff tomorrow, | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
it's going to be a proud day, There's going to be a lot | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
of people in the city. It's just like Leicester City | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
all over again. It will be great for everyone | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
to have one last get together and one last knees up and drink | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
the last of the beer that's Embraced by football's | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
fraternity, Wales have made They leave, knowing they've proven | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
themselves to the world. The team are now back here at their | :19:51. | :20:03. | |
base camp in Brittany for one last night and from pictures emerging on | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
social media, the party has already started. In the last four weeks, the | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
team's not only put Wales back on the international map, they've | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
transcended some boundaries, brought the support of rugby supporters to | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
football. Brought the support of people beyond Wales' boundaries and | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
reminded everyone that football has the power to capture the imagination | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
and put a smile back on people's faces. | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
There've been more signs of the economic effects of the UK's | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
Let's talk now to our Business Editor, Simon Jack. | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
It's been two weeks since the boat. How is the economy reacting? It | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
seems like a long time since the vote, a lot has happened but in | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
economic terms it is pretty early days. Let's talk about what has | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
happened. The pound has fallen in value by a lot, about 10% against | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
the dollar and euro. So let's start with the good news. It means | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
companies that earn their money in dollars or overseas are doing well. | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
The BPs Shells and AstraZeneca. Their shares up are. BP for example, | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
up 17%. On the other hand, people who have to spend money in overseas | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
currencies, like airlines, the easyJets of this world, their shares | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
are down. We have seen some anxiety around the commercial property | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
market, people wanting to get their money out of that. A lot of people | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
having to shut their funds, they want their money out now but they | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
have to sell office blocks, but not easy to sell over a short period of | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
time and house builders have been hammered and because house builders | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
and property market has had some jitters, the banks have come in for | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
a walloping so some exposure there. These are numbers on screens at the | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
moment. We don't know about jobs, about how people are feeling. | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
Tomorrow morning we'll get the first really authoritative consumer | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
confidence figures, so keep an eye on those, they will be interesting | :21:50. | :21:51. | |
to look at. Many thanks, Simon. | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
A taxi-driver from Bradford who drove to Glasgow to kill | :21:57. | :21:58. | |
a shop-keeper in a religiously motivated attack, has pleaded guilty | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
Tanveer Ahmed admitted stabbing and beating Asad Shah, | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
who was a member of a minority Muslim sect, in March this year. | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
The judge at the High Court in Glasgow said it was | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
Our Scotland Editor, Sarah Smith, reports. | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
Asad Shah was a well-known and popular figure, murdered | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
The local community staged an all-night vigil, | :22:20. | :22:30. | |
shocked by this extremely brutal killing. | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
The act itself was four minutes of extreme violence, | :22:36. | :22:37. | |
the likes of which we have not seen before. | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
This is an unique event in terms of where it has happened | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
Tanveer Ahmed, a Sunni Muslim admits murdering Mr Shah. | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
In the dock today, he watched impassively as the court | :22:48. | :22:49. | |
was shown CCTV footage of a particularly vicious attack. | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
Afterwards, he waited at the scene of the crime, | :22:56. | :22:57. | |
immediately telling the police what he'd done. | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
Mr Shah's brother had tried to fight off his attacker. | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
I really don't have any message for that monster. | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
He basically took away a person who was peaceful, | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
who wanted unity in the world, who wanted the communities to unite, | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
him harming someone of peace is literally, he is | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
As they began their investigation, police said they believed the murder | :23:19. | :23:27. | |
Immediately it was assumed that Asad Shah had been targeted | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
because he was an Ahmadiyya Muslim - a minority, often | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
The police no longer think that was the motive. | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
Mr Shah frequently posted videos on social media, in which he appears | :23:44. | :23:55. | |
in which he appears to be claiming to be a prophet and | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
It appears to be those videos, recorded here at Shah's shop, | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
not his Ahmadiyya faith that motivated Tanveer Ahmed. | :24:02. | :24:03. | |
After watching the videos online, he drove here from Bradford, | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
Telling police afterwards he believed Shah had | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
People of all faiths and none came together to mourn Asad Shah, | :24:10. | :24:20. | |
rejecting religious motivations for any violence and especially | :24:21. | :24:22. | |
for what the judge today called "a despicable crime." | :24:23. | :24:32. | |
There's a major search going on for a lynx that's escaped | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
The wild cat chewed through boards in his enclosure | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
just hours after he was transferred to his new home from | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
Members of the public are being urged to call 999 | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
It was ladies' semi-final day today at Wimbledon. | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
Joe Wilson is at the All England Club for us. | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
Well, Rita, you know things do change here for women wi. For | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
example, today the first-ever single wheelchair tournament has got under | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
way but how familiar to see one family dominating Centre Court. | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
It is hard for today's Wimbledon visitors to remember, | :25:18. | :25:19. | |
but there was a time here before Williams. | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
There was a time when they were just two girls in Los Angeles, | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
Since Venus' first Wimbledon triumph, 16 years ago, | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
the Williams sisters have not simply transformed tennis, | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
Her semifinal was a kind of mismatch which has puntucation her career. | :25:39. | :25:52. | |
Opponent Elena Visnina was way out of her depth. | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
The only tension was if the whole thing would last | :25:56. | :25:57. | |
Venus Williams has learned to take nothing for granted. | :25:58. | :26:09. | |
At 36, she's battled her own ill-health as well as a new | :26:10. | :26:11. | |
Angelique Kerber on the other side of the net here. | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
To be in another semifinal was a feat for Venus but Kerber, | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
the current Australian Open champion was just better. | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
Well, Kerber verses Serena in the final could be a belter | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
but we may well wonder what would tennis be | :26:30. | :26:31. | |
without the Williams sisters and as they prepare to | :26:32. | :26:33. | |
play doubles here, just what would they do without tennis? | :26:34. | :26:41. | |
Some sunshine and rain over the next few days. Today we had lovely | :26:42. | :26:54. | |
sunshine in Dundee. Quite a bit warmer actually today than it was | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
yesterday. It wasn't the story everywhere, though. There were some | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
areas of thicker cloud, not too clever in Bristol where it was | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
somewhat cooler. Both locations will actually get rain later tonight. | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
Here is the bigger picture. We have thickening cloud towards the | :27:10. | :27:11. | |
north-west. This is the belt of cloud that has been affecting | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
Bristol. It is on what is at the moment, a weak weather front. The | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
rain will get its act together and we'll see rain pushing through the | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
Bristol channel, Wales, Midlands through the night. Heavy rain, too. | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
Further north, cloud bringing heavier rain for Northern Ireland | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
and Scotland. A wet start for eastern areas in particular but | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
moving through quickly, exiting out into the North Sea and so into the | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
afternoon it looks much drier, brighter but for one or two showers, | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
most places dry with sunshine. Those temperatures nothing to right home | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
about, 19 or 20 not too bad. Could get 23 at Wimbledon after morning | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
rain or drizzle but there is more wet and possibly windier weather | :27:50. | :27:52. | |
arriving in from the Atlantic. This area of low pressure is steaming our | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
way. So we'll see the winds picking up on Saturday and there will be | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
some more rain, too, pushing northwards across Scotland. Drier | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
for Northern Ireland and we have heavier rain moving northwards | :28:07. | :28:09. | |
across England and Wales as well. Drier, if rather cloudier conditions | :28:10. | :28:12. | |
across southern England and East Anglia. Here warm and humid air it | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
start the weekend so temperatures could get into the mid-20s even with | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
cloud. Elsewhere 20 typically. Could be a touch warmer in Belfast with | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
some sunshine here but cooler for Belfast on Sunday. We have some | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
showers and longer spells of rain and likewise across Scotland, | :28:30. | :28:32. | |
especially in the west. For England and Wales, sunshine and a few | :28:33. | :28:34. | |
showers on a blustery wind. | :28:35. | :28:38. |
