The battle lines are drawn - Jeremy Corbyn will fight | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Owen Smith for the leadership of the Labour Party. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
The two men will spend the summer appealing to party members, | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
after Angela Eagle decided to withdraw. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
I think it's in the best interests of the Labour Party that we now come | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
together so we can have one candidate. | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
So I am announcing tonight that I am withdrawing from this race. | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
For Owen Smith, the former work and pensions spokesman, | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
an MP for just six years, he says it's time to move | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
I can be not just the next Labour leader but a Labour Prime | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
That is what I intend to prove to the country. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
But Jeremy Corbyn says he's confident that party members | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
We'll be looking at the battle ahead and asking how | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
likely it is that Labour will have a new leader by September. | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
Will all Russian athletes be banned from the Olympics in Rio? | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
The International Olympic Committee says it's seeking legal advice | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
In Turkey, a strong show of support for the president, | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
Thousands more public servants are suspended. | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
A daughter and mother shot dead in Lincolnshire. | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
It's thought the gunman - who also died - was the husband. | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
# We'll keep on fighting to the end.# | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
And at the Republican Convention, it's not Donald Trump | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
making the headlines, it's his wife. | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
British cyclist, Mark Cavendish, pulls out of the Tour de | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
France claiming continuing would have a detrimental | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
effect on his preparations for the Rio Olympics. | :01:44. | :02:06. | |
The contest for the Labour leadership - to take | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
place over the summer - will feature Jeremy Corbyn | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
and Owen Smith, the party's former spokesman on work and pensions. | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
Angela Eagle, who'd been the first to challenge Mr Corbyn, | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
has pulled out of the race, and she's backing Mr Smith, | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
who won the backing of more Labour MPs in a party ballot. | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
Jeremy Corbyn says he's confident of holding on to the job, | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
despite losing the support of most Labour MPs, because party | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
Our political editor Laure Kuenssberg reports. | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
Saving Labour is the slogan, with lefleaters trying to catch | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
you on the evening commute, they now know whose name | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
The man who claims he can stop Labour from disaster not yet well | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
I want to say to all members of the Labour Party tonight, | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
young and old, long-standing and new members, I can be their champion. | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
I am just as fanatical as Jeremy Corbyn. | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
I am just as radical as Jeremy Corbyn. | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
Jeremy deserves our gratitude for helping Labour | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
recover its radical roots but we need a new generation | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
of Labour men and women to take this party forward. | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
Many of those members will say they have someone like that | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
who was chosen overwhelmingly by them, less than 12 months ago. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
We have now an opportunity, Jeremy and I, to debate the future | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
I will take Jeremy Corbyn on on the issues. | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
I have ideas that can turn the slogans we have had in recent | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
He was a BBC journalist and then a lobbyist for a big | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
Then elected in 2010 as the member for Pontypridd. | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
Before resigning from Jeremy Corbyn's team, | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
he was Shadow Welsh Secretary and Shadow Secretary of State | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
He wants to rewrite Labour's famous clause four of the constitution, to | :03:58. | :04:08. | |
include a specific promise to fight inequality. | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
Just a few weeks ago he said he would not run. | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
Having changed his mind completely it seems... | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
How do you decide between the two of you? | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
He persuaded his colleagues he was a better bet than his rival | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
Angela Eagle was the first to have the guts to challenge | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
Jeremy Corbyn with support from 20 or so your MPs, tonight, | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
We need to have a strong and united Labour Party so we can | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
be a good opposition, take the fight to the Conservative | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
I am announcing tonight that I will be supporting Owen Smith | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
Even with her help and the vast majority of Labour MPs, | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
Owen Smith will have to take this on. | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
Jeremy Corbyn with his huge swell of Labour Party members. | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
For Labour, the last few months have been ugly. | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
The summer contest might be more fraught still. | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
Laura's in Westminster you tonight. How do you rate Mr Smith's chances | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
of beating Mr Corbyn? The reason Angela Eagle dropped out with such | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
dignity, the reason why Owen Smith was very warm about her and dropped | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
heavy hints of having her side by side alongside him during the | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
campaign, is because, finally, some people might say, most Labour MPs | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
have found a way that they actually believe they'll be able to take | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
Jeremy Corbyn on. Not necessarily beat him, but after months of angst, | :05:38. | :05:46. | |
after months of rum beings, unhappiness -- rumblings, | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
unhappiness on the benches, they are united in a contest that is now | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
under way. They know they need to stick together if they have a | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
chance, because they're taking on Jeremy's mountain of support from | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
the membership that he built over the long, hot, last summer and has | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
continued to build in the months since then. If the contest were | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
tomorrow, it's extremely likely that Jeremy Corbyn would hold on. He | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
might even increase his share of the vote. But it's not tomorrow. There | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
are two months of what will be hard campaigning, what may be ugly | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
campaigning, in some circumstances, ahead. If Owen Smith has shown | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
anything in the last couple of weeks, coming almost from nowhere to | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
be the person to take the position as being the challenger, is that he | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
has the energy and he has ambition to give it a very good try. Labour | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
MPs, in a funny way tonight, are relieved that, at least, the path to | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
a contest, after so much confusion and so much unhappiness, is actually | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
now clear and the contest is on. Laura, once again thanks very much. | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
The International Olympic Committee says it's seeking legal advice | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
on whether all Russian competitors should be banned from | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
It follows an independent report, which uncovered a state-run | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
doping programme at the Winter Olympics | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
The IOC has ruled that all Russian athletes who competed in Sochi must | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
now have their samples re-tested for doping, as our sports | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
With little more than two weeks to go until Rio, doping has cast a | :07:11. | :07:24. | |
shadow over sports show piece event. The scathing report into | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
state-sponsored cheating in Russia has led to demands for their banning | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
from the Games. Today the IOC held emergency talks but delayed one of | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
the biggest decisions it's ever faced. We will have to take a very | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
difficult decision, also in legal terms, this is on the one hand, | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
between a collective ban for all Russian athletes and, on the other | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
hand, the natural right to the individual justice for every clean | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
athlete in the world. Russia's track and field team, including the | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
Olympic champion in pole vault, is already banned from Rio. Today she | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
was one of 68 athletes who began an appeal in the court of arbitration | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
for sport. That decision, expected on Thursday, could have a bearing on | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
what the IOC does. Sport's governing bodies may be asked to decide. For | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
now, disciplinary action against Russian officials has begun. The | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
sports minister, barred from attending Rio. Preparations for | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
winter sports events to be staged in Russia have been halted. And all | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
samples given by Russian athletes during the 2014 Sochi Games will be | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
re-analysed, with any cheats named. There's a part of me that worries | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
that the IOC are not strong enough and they don't have a backbone. They | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
will do the least they can possibly get away with. There is another part | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
of me that really hopes that they understand that they made a massive | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
mistakes in the 70s and 80s. At all levels of sport, the Olympics are | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
held up as a unifying force. But the Games find themselves at a | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
cross-roads, with Rio down the track amid the biggest doping scandal in | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
its history, the IOC faces making an unprecedented call with serious | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
political ramifications. Not since the boycotts of the 1980s have the | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
Games been contested without one of its major players, but the risk is | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
that banning Russia could cause serious divisions. This swimming | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
event outside Moscow was supposed to be a final warm up for Russia's | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
Olympic squad, but right now, Rio feels a long way off. | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
TRANSLATION: It's not fair. We train hard. We put in the effort. The | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
decision on whether we go to the Olympics doesn't depend on us. We're | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
really worried. President Putin's portrayed the crisis as politically | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
motivated, but for a leader who's used sport to show case his country, | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
isolation from its grandest stage would be unthinkable. Russia's place | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
in Rio hangs by a thread. The Turkish government has taken | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
more drastic measures in the wake Some 40,000 state employees - | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
including judges and teachers - The decision follows the detention | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
of more than 6,000 soldiers. The government wants | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
the United States to extradite a cleric, Fetullah Gulen, | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
whom it accuses of plotting the coup, though he | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
vehemently denies it. Our special correspondent | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
Fergal Keane looks at what President Erdogan might do next | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
in a country that appears They celebrate the man of the hour | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
and the fall of his enemies, "In this issue of the homeland, | :10:32. | :10:41. | |
we're not going to leave our country to these people," | :10:42. | :11:02. | |
the president said. But before he could go on, the crowd | :11:03. | :11:13. | |
chanted back: To the president's loyalists, this | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
is a fight for national survival, the purging of the disloyal | :11:17. | :11:29. | |
is described as cleansing. New images of the coup | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
are being broadcast on state television, a reminder to the people | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
of military violence to be avenged, like this air strike | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
on the Presidential Palace. Ahmet Hamdi Ozsarac has known | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
the president for nearly 30 years TRANSLATION: Has this made him | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
stronger? Yes. He is stronger among | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
the people and in the state. Such attempts won't be | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
tried again by anyone The message we have internationally | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
is that despite such an event, a leader who stopped this, | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
with the people, will feel stronger. Turkey feels like a nation turning | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
inward, certainly away from the West, with its criticisms | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
and pleas on human rights. Defiant anti-Western rhetoric | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
is nothing new here, but it has sharpened | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
in the last few days. President Erdogan came close | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
to being overthrown, His backers see Western | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
support for his survival At worst, they see | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
complicity in the coup. Turkey and its military | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
matter hugely to the West, not only as part of the Nato | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
alliance, but also the air campaign The fear is that an escalating | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
crackdown creates more instability. At a time when all around us | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
institutional order has collapsed, in the Middle East in particular, | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
but elsewhere too, that is the most dangerous situation | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
for Turkey to find itself in. We need to rebuild our institutions | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
and rebuild our institutions as in A plural and democratic state | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
feels far away tonight. Live to Istanbul tonight. What is | :13:20. | :13:39. | |
your sense of the next steps that the president might now take? What | :13:40. | :13:48. | |
we know for sure is that the purge will continue. State officials have | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
been alleging the existence of a vast conspiracy, not just involving | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
the military, but judges, academics, all the centres of influence in this | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
society. Now tomorrow the president will chair a meeting the national | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
Security Council. He says he will announce something very important | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
after that. Could that mean increased security powers by this | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
time tomorrow night, we'll know for sure. That won't go down well in the | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
West. Remember, the United States needs Turkish territory to launch | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
its air strikes against the so-called Islamic State in Syria and | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
the EU needs Turkish cooperation in order to stop refugees using Turkish | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
soil to reach Europe. So any European response is likely to be | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
largely retorical. Thanks very much. Our special correspondent there in | :14:39. | :14:39. | |
Istanbul tonight. The group which calls | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
itself Islamic State has posted a video online, | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
showing a teenager claimed to be the Afghan refugee, | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
who attacked passengers with an axe The person on the video | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
is heard promising to carry Police have already said | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
they found a homemade flag of the so-called Islamic State | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
in the 17-year-old's room. Five people were injured, | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
two of them seriously, in the attack near the southern | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
city of Wurzburg. Our correspondent Tom Burridge sent | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
this report from Bavaria. One witness compared the scene | :15:06. | :15:17. | |
afterwards to a slaughterhouse. A 17-year-old refugee apparently | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
from Afghanistan, who arrived in Germany without his parents, | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
attacked several passengers on a moving train with | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
an axe and a knife. The teenager was shot dead by police | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
as he ran from the train. Today, the attacker's body | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
was taken from the scene, he'd spent the last two | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
weeks in a foster home. In his bedroom, police found | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
evidence linking him TRANSLATION: A hand drawn IS flag | :15:40. | :15:41. | |
was found in the perpetrator's room Police are investigating this | :15:42. | :15:50. | |
evidence pointing to There is currently no knowledge | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
of links to other suspects. The so-called Islamic State | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
published this video, In a statement, the group claimed | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
responsibility, but the authorities in Bavaria said there was no | :16:04. | :16:13. | |
evidence that the boy was directed The 17-year-old spent much | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
of the past two years at this migration centre for | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
unaccompanied minors. 14,000 children came here to Germany | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
last year without their parents. Last night's violent attack by one | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
teenager will focus minds on how to protect others from extremist | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
ideology and propaganda. Tonight, a small demonstration | :16:32. | :16:40. | |
at the local train station The actions of one teenager | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
will intensify the debate. What are the implications of last | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
year's open door migration policy for security | :16:50. | :16:51. | |
across this country? Downing Street has insisted that | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
reducing net migration to tens of thousands a year | :16:54. | :17:09. | |
remains a target. The statement came after | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
the new Home Secretary, to be drawn on specific figures | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
and said the Government was committed to bringing migration | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
down to "sustainable levels." The International Monetary Fund says | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
the British referendum vote to leave the EU has depressed | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
the world economic outlook. In a new report, the IMF has | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
lowered its forecast for global growth to 3.1% and its prediction | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
for the UK economy is even more But as our economics editor, | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
Kamal Ahmed, reports the IMF didn't forecast a recession in the UK | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
despite the strong warnings it gave Nearly a month ago and scenes | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
of jubilation, contrasted with scenes of despair, | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
as Britain voted to leave Britain left hanging on the end | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
of the line, as investors feared Today, a little less gloomy | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
from Maurice Obstfeld, We saw financial markets fall out of | :18:02. | :18:21. | |
bed. You might have worried they would have knock-on effects. Some | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
might have seized up, market could have become disorderly. That didn't | :18:26. | :18:37. | |
happen. You have said that Britain will grow, yes, a significant | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
downgrade will grow faster than Germany, faster than France, faster | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
than Italy next year. Do you worry that some people might accuse you of | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
scaremongering? I think losing, you know, more than a percentage point | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
off of growth for the next two years is not a good thing. I think that's | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
a pretty bad outcome. Now since the referendum, | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
we have been able to follow two key economic indicators, | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
sterling and the stock market. On the day of the vote, | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
the pound hit $1.50, as the markets gambled the UK | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
would vote to remain. When the result became clear, | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
we saw a massive drop, down to $1.28 over fears | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
of an economic slowdown in the UK. Since then, it's gone a little | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
stronger, up to $1.31. Some political stability has | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
returned and the Bank of England has made it clear it | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
will support the economy. Let's take the FTSE 250 | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
of leading UK companies, a pretty good barometer | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
of the economy. Again, the FTSE 250 hit a 2016 high | :19:42. | :19:50. | |
of 17,277 on the day of the vote. This was followed by a huge drop | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
and quite a big amount of volatility, as uncertainty | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
gripped the markets. Now it's back up to | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
nearly 17,000 again. Many companies that export, | :20:01. | :20:08. | |
for example, are helped There's clarity about | :20:09. | :20:10. | |
the politics and about policy. Also financial markets have | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
proved very resilient. The biggest danger is that we talk | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
ourselves into a self-fulfilling downturn, but as long | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
as we don't do, that I think we should be confident | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
about pulling through this. The effects of the vote on June | :20:28. | :20:29. | |

hearty cheers remains to be seen. Lincolnshire Police say three people | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
killed in a shooting near a swimming pool earlier today were all known | :20:37. | :20:46. | |
to each other. The man and two women died | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
outside the leisure centre The police are not looking | :20:50. | :20:51. | |
for anyone else in connection Our correspondent, Danny Savage, | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
has sent this report. A leisure centre car park | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
in a Lincolnshire town centre which, just after 9.00am this morning, | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
became a murder scene. This is where local people say a man | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
shot dead his wife and daughter The BBC understands the two women | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
who died were 19-year-old Charlotte Hart and her mother | :21:11. | :21:20. | |
Claire Hart, who was 50. The man involved was | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
57-year-old Lance Hart. Many local people | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
heard the commotion. The first two were | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
a few seconds apart. The third one was slightly longer, | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
several seconds apart. They sounded to me a bit | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
like shotguns, but again that wasn't sinister because there is a gun | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
maker in the town and he tests guns. As 999 calls came in, | :21:42. | :21:50. | |
paramedics were told to approach Police soon said there was no | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
indication it was terrorist related. Late this afternoon, | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
they gave more details. CPR was attempted on both women, | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
but I'm sad to report that both We believe a shotgun was involved | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
in the incident and are currently investigating the circumstances | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
of this tragic incident. During the day a house, | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
believed to be the family home, Neighbours say Lance and Claire Hart | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
had other grown-up children who'd left home and the house | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
had recently been sold Why the family were torn apart | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
by such awful events isn't clear, but the shooting in a town centre | :22:29. | :22:34. | |

territory controlled by so-called Islamic State | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
is now making progress. Late last month, Iraqi forces seized | :22:54. | :22:55. | |

they'll do the fighting. We have all the equipment, | :24:47. | :24:49. | |

in northern Iraq. The Foreign Secretary, | :26:04. | :26:13. | |
Boris Johnson, has been holding talks with the US Secretary | :26:14. | :26:15. | |
of State, John Kerry, At a news conference afterwards | :26:16. | :26:17. | |
he faced some direct questions about the controversial comments | :26:18. | :26:24. | |
he's made in the past about President Obama | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
and Hillary Clinton. Our diplomatic correspondent, | :26:28. | :26:28. | |
James Landale, reports. Today he's Foreign Secretary, | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
sitting alongside global statesmen, but for many years Boris Johnson | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
was a journalist, one who'd been rude about many | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
leaders around the world. At his first news conference | :26:43. | :26:44. | |
in his new role some of that past You've accused the current US | :26:45. | :26:53. | |
President, Barack Obama, of harbouring a part | :26:54. | :27:02. | |
Kenyans "ancestral dislike You've described possible | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
future US President, Hillary Clinton as someone with, | :27:06. | :27:13. | |
"dyed blonde hair and pouty lips and a steely blue stare | :27:14. | :27:15. | |
like a sadistic nurse You've also likened | :27:16. | :27:17. | |
her to Lady Macbeth. Mr Johnson hit back, | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
insisting his words had been There is such a rich thesaurus now | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
of things that I've said that have been one way or another, | :27:25. | :27:36. | |
through what alchemy I do not know, somehow misconstrued that it | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
would really take me too long to engage in a full global itinerary | :27:41. | :27:42. | |
of apology to all concerned. You have an unusually long history | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
of - Not this one again! ...wild exaggerations and, frankly, | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
out right lies. Just look at how uncomfortable that | :27:50. | :27:51. | |
made the US Secretary of State, who went out of his way | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
to praise his new colleague. This man is a very smart | :27:56. | :27:57. | |
and capable man. That's the Boris Johnson - | :27:58. | :28:00. | |
I can live with that. That's the Boris Johnson that | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
I intend to work with and we intend This evening, Mr Johnson and other | :28:05. | :28:12. | |
foreign ministers discussed Syria and Yemen which he said were more | :28:13. | :28:36. | |
important than his past views. But the Foreign Secretary has come | :28:37. | :28:38. | |
to his new role with some baggage In Ohio, on the first day of | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
the Republican National Convention, it was Donald Trump's wife, | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
Melania, who made the headlines as she faced accusations | :28:48. | :28:49. | |
of plagiarism following her Commentators noticed remarkable | :28:50. | :28:51. | |
similarities with a speech made Let's join our North American | :28:52. | :28:54. | |
editor, Jon Sopel, in Cleveland. Huw, there is a simple over arching | :28:55. | :29:07. | |
ambition for this Republican Convention, that is to bring the | :29:08. | :29:12. | |
party together after a particularly bruising primary season. The other | :29:13. | :29:15. | |
thing they want to do is to convince doubters in this hall that a Trump | :29:16. | :29:19. | |
campaign would be well run. Well organised. Disciplined and | :29:20. | :29:23. | |
professional. So far, you'd have to say, things are not going entirely | :29:24. | :29:25. | |
to plan. The entrance of Donald Trump | :29:26. | :29:30. | |
was like something out of a sci-fi movie, but by the end of the evening | :29:31. | :29:36. | |
it had become a horror show. The next First Lady | :29:37. | :29:39. | |
of the United States... Mr Trump's only role | :29:40. | :29:42. | |
was to introduce his Slovenian-born wife, | :29:43. | :29:46. | |
Melania, she spoke fluently. But some of it, well, | :29:47. | :29:48. | |
had a bit of a familiar ring to a speech Michelle Obama gave | :29:49. | :29:54. | |
when she was hoping to be From a young age, my | :29:55. | :29:57. | |
parents impressed on me... ...Like, you work hard | :29:58. | :30:02. | |
for what you want in life... That you do what you say you'e going | :30:03. | :30:10. | |
to do... ...And you do what you say | :30:11. | :30:16. | |
and keep your promise... ...That you treat people | :30:17. | :30:18. | |
with dignity and respect... ...That you treat people | :30:19. | :30:20. | |
with dignity and respect. The only limit to your achievements | :30:21. | :30:24. | |
is the strenght of your dreams... ...The only limit to the height | :30:25. | :30:27. | |
of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness | :30:28. | :30:29. | |
to work hard for them. ...And your willingness | :30:30. | :30:32. | |
to work for them. Last night's Convention Hall triumph | :30:33. | :30:34. | |
is today's public relations catastrophe with Melania Trump | :30:35. | :30:37. | |
the butt of all sorts You know the sort of thing - | :30:38. | :30:39. | |
I'd like to thank my speech But this isn't about Melania Trump, | :30:40. | :30:43. | |
it's about the perception of a Trump campaign that is chaotic | :30:44. | :30:48. | |
and dysfunctional and, as a result, the | :30:49. | :30:49. | |
recriminations are flying. A question I put to Dr Ben Carson, | :30:50. | :30:51. | |
former presidential hopeful and now If they were verbatim, | :30:52. | :30:55. | |
then probably the speech But, first of all, you have | :30:56. | :31:00. | |
to prove they were verbatim. It was pretty close | :31:01. | :31:11. | |
to verbatim, the odd word... Wait a minute, you said "pretty | :31:12. | :31:13. | |
close." But let's end with a bit more | :31:14. | :31:15. | |
Melania Trump that definitely wasn't plagiarised, but now seems | :31:16. | :31:21. | |
strangely prophetic. It would not be a Trump contest | :31:22. | :31:24. | |
without excitement and drama. But it was drama that | :31:25. | :31:28. | |
the Republican Party was hoping So the 19th July has been | :31:29. | :31:33. | |
the hottest day of 2016 - so far - and that's been true of most | :31:34. | :31:46. | |
of the United Kingdom. Some places recorded | :31:47. | :31:49. | |
temperatures in excess But, you won't be surprised | :31:50. | :31:51. | |
to hear me say that Thunderstorms and heavy rain | :31:52. | :32:01. | |
are on the way for some. Temperatures by the end of the week | :32:02. | :32:05. | |
will be back closer to average. Tonight, we'll have some | :32:06. | :32:09. | |
politics over there - Emily's in Ohio at the Republican | :32:10. | :32:13. | |
Convention. And, politics here - | :32:14. | :32:18. | |
the struggle in the Labour Party. We'll ask if the two factions can | :32:19. | :32:20. | |
possibly cuddle up Here, on BBC One, it's time | :32:21. | :32:29. | |
for the news where you are. | :32:30. | :32:32. |
