:05:37. > :05:38.supporting you in this campaign have gone on the record and said one
:05:39. > :05:46.of your great strengths is that you do have experience managing
:05:47. > :05:48.billions of pounds. None of my colleagues have
:05:49. > :05:51.misrepresented that I was managing investments on behalf
:05:52. > :05:53.of pensioners and savers. I have worked in funds management,

:06:11. > :06:21.by Andrea Leadsom. I think she's going to provide
:06:22. > :06:23.exactly the right kind of positive and optimistic and confident
:06:24. > :06:26.leadership that this country needs. Mr Johnson was of course
:06:27. > :06:28.the one-time favourite. His hopes were sunk by Mr Gove,
:06:29. > :06:30.who crashed out today. I'm naturally disappointed that
:06:31. > :06:35.I haven't been able to make it through to the final
:06:36. > :06:38.round of this leadership contest. REPORTER: Do you great
:06:39. > :06:41.what you did, Mr Gove? This is a moment Theresa May's team
:06:42. > :06:44.will treasure - a more successful start to the race
:06:45. > :06:49.than they could have hoped. But now MPs lose control
:06:50. > :06:52.and the contest goes to the country. It is the Conservative Party,
:06:53. > :07:01.not Parliament who makes the call. So, Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom
:07:02. > :07:04.will spend the next few weeks building support among party

:07:26. > :07:28.next Margaret Thatcher? It goes down well with the Tory
:07:29. > :07:32.members, who are choosing Theresa May is the favourite,
:07:33. > :07:35.the bookies' favourite that is. She's been called difficult,
:07:36. > :07:38.but good. A former coalition partner
:07:39. > :07:41.thought she was effective. She was very competent
:07:42. > :07:50.and single-minded, but quite rigid, and we saw, for example,
:07:51. > :07:53.on immigration policy that it wasn't just me who was dealing
:07:54. > :07:55.with universities and so on, but even George Osborne
:07:56. > :07:58.and David Cameron, and she ran rings around them and frequently wouldn't
:07:59. > :08:00.compromise at all. Middle-class upbringing,
:08:01. > :08:02.dad was a vicar and she learned As a worker in the City she rose,
:08:03. > :08:07.worked at the Bank of England before politics, but was never one
:08:08. > :08:10.of the boys or tried to be, and never saw her gender
:08:11. > :08:12.as an obstacle. I've never experienced
:08:13. > :08:13.any barriers within the Conservative Party,
:08:14. > :08:16.I must say. I've never felt I've had any
:08:17. > :08:18.problems as a woman. Yes, if that means a woman
:08:19. > :08:25.who demands a fair deal. Now there's much more to Theresa May
:08:26. > :08:28.than the shoes, the kitten heels she's famously worn on the climb
:08:29. > :08:31.through the Cabinet. She's stubborn - Geoff Boycott
:08:32. > :08:34.is her favourite cricketer - and tough enough to face down
:08:35. > :08:36.a hostile audience It's my job to tell it like it is,
:08:37. > :08:43.not how we'd like it to be. Allies say she's not
:08:44. > :08:50.just a tough operator. She campaigned to remain in the EU
:08:51. > :08:56.and now says she'd negotiate on whether EU migrants
:08:57. > :08:58.can stay in the UK. Her supporters see her
:08:59. > :09:00.as the more compassionate She supports the minimum
:09:01. > :09:03.wage and maternity pay for all and she voted
:09:04. > :09:05.for same-sex marriage. Andrea Leadsom lacks experience
:09:06. > :09:09.at the top of politics. Seen here on her first day as an MP
:09:10. > :09:12.only six years ago, she sounded appealingly
:09:13. > :09:14.innocent about hiring As a new MP I'm really looking
:09:15. > :09:19.for somebody with experience Her years in the City,
:09:20. > :09:24.where she denies hyping her role, must have helped handling
:09:25. > :09:27.her living expenses. We took the view we were going

:09:41. > :09:47.all about positivity. It's about restoring certainty
:09:48. > :09:49.and stability to our economy and really capitalising on all those

:11:19. > :11:23.reversed. It's now up to me,
:11:24. > :11:26.I can make a difference. Experts say Tory membership
:11:27. > :11:36.is mostly male, middle class and over 50, but other

:12:44. > :12:49.for new leadership and a voice Let's talk to our political
:12:50. > :13:07.editor Laura Kuenssberg, What is your sense tonight that we
:13:08. > :13:10.know who is in the final two of the kind of contest we are likely to
:13:11. > :13:14.get? Over the course of the next couple of months we will track every
:13:15. > :13:20.step, tumble and twist and turn of the contest but there are things
:13:21. > :13:24.even from today's result that have changed things. It is worth marking
:13:25. > :13:26.how extraordinary it is that Andrea Leadsom could now be our next Prime
:13:27. > :13:30.Minister. Before the referendum campaign, where she took such a big
:13:31. > :13:33.role, she wasn't even very well-known around Westminster, let
:13:34. > :13:37.alone around the country and many MPs obviously have doubts about her
:13:38. > :13:42.level of experience. But whether or not she wins the race, she's clearly
:13:43. > :13:46.someone who is set for a major role in politics in the coming years.
:13:47. > :13:50.Second of all, the extent of the margin by which Theresa May won,
:13:51. > :13:54.suggests she really is the clear favourite and that the majority of
:13:55. > :14:01.Conservative MPs believe in her and they want the party members to
:14:02. > :14:07.listen to that. Third of all, one of the really interesting longer-term
:14:08. > :14:10.things is that today shows quite a brutal fading, fading fast of the
:14:11. > :14:14.influence of the so-called Notting Hill Tories, that set of politicians
:14:15. > :14:18.who years ago worked together to get David Cameron to be the leader of
:14:19. > :14:21.the party and then of course into number 10, with Michael Gove
:14:22. > :14:25.crashing out of the race in the way he z that show that is group, who
:14:26. > :14:30.controlled the top of the party for a decade, are losing their power and
:14:31. > :14:34.their influence is disappearing and lastly, of course, in 2016, maybe
:14:35. > :14:39.this shouldn't matter any more, maybe it doesn't matter to many
:14:40. > :14:43.people who are watching this, but we are definitely going to have our
:14:44. > :14:47.next Prime Minister as a woman, whichever candidate wins. And given
:14:48. > :14:50.that will only be the second time in our history that that has happened,
:14:51. > :14:55.today is significant just for that. Thank you very much.

:29:26. > :29:30.and suspension had forced Germany to make changes. In came Liverpool's

:29:36. > :29:38.brakes, he had seen a Schweinsteiger handball. Up stepped Griezmann to

:29:43. > :29:47.COMMENTATOR: The stadium celebrates. France had
:29:48. > :29:51.to protect their lead. In fact, they stretched it further. The goalkeeper
:29:52. > :29:56.making it the default Griezmann to score his six of the tournament. Now
:29:57. > :30:00.they were really in the mood. COMMENTATOR:
:30:01. > :30:04.That may very well do it. This for Germany the situation was getting
:30:05. > :30:09.desperate. They needed something special, and nearly got it, but
:30:10. > :30:13.sometimes it's not your night. In the face of near relentless pressure
:30:14. > :30:16.the hosts held firm, for the first time in a lifetime they know how it
:30:17. > :30:18.feels to beat Germany at tournaments. One more victory and
:30:19. > :30:27.the dream is there is. There are still French fans
:30:28. > :30:30.celebrating long after the final whistle. They know their team was
:30:31. > :30:34.not always the best that the night but they saw a battling, brave
:30:35. > :30:39.performance and it will give them an awful lot of belief heading into the

:30:52. > :30:57.Our sports correspondent Joe Wilson has the story.
:30:58. > :30:59.It is hard for today's Wimbledon visitors to remember,
:31:00. > :31:04.but there was a time here before Williams.
:31:05. > :31:07.There was a time when they were just two girls in Los Angeles,

:31:30. > :31:36.Opponent Elena Vesnina was way out of her depth.
:31:37. > :31:38.The only tension was whether the whole thing
:31:39. > :31:51.Venus Williams has learned to take nothing for granted.
:31:52. > :31:53.At 36, she's battled her own ill-health as well as a new

:32:01. > :32:02.To be in another semifinal was a feat for Venus, but Kerber,
:32:03. > :32:06.the current Australian Open champion, was just better.
:32:07. > :32:12.Well, Kerber verses Serena in the final could be a belter,
:32:13. > :32:14.but we may well wonder what would tennis be
:32:15. > :32:16.without the Williams sisters, and as they prepare
:32:17. > :32:27.to play doubles here, just what would they do
