:00:18. > :00:24.The Conservative Party leadership contender,

:00:25. > :00:28.Theresa May, has dismissed calls for other candidates to stand aside,

:00:29. > :00:32.saying she wants "a contest not a Coronation."

:00:33. > :00:35.Mrs May, who is said to have the support of more

:00:36. > :00:37.than 100 Tory MPs, has reaffirmed her belief

:00:38. > :00:40.that there should be no general election before 2020

:00:41. > :00:48.Here's our political correspondent, Chris Mason.

:00:49. > :00:56.Politics was reset for good when this result in the EU referendum was

:00:57. > :01:00.confirmed. Within hours it had cost this man his job. Politics was reset

:01:01. > :01:02.for good when this result in the EU referendum was confirmed. Within

:01:03. > :01:06.hours it had cost this man his job. With -- within a week the favourite

:01:07. > :01:09.to replace him was gone too. Enter next the wannabes Prime Minister on

:01:10. > :01:13.the short-list, the favourite, the Home Secretary. If I win, she said,

:01:14. > :01:16.I won't call a general election. We have got this huge issue of

:01:17. > :01:20.negotiating the Brexit. We've got the concerns about stability in the

:01:21. > :01:25.economy, and the future of the UK. I think if we were to have an early

:01:26. > :01:27.general election it would just introduce another destabilising

:01:28. > :01:32.factor. I don't think that would be good for the economy, I don't think

:01:33. > :01:38.it would be good people and their jobs. What about the man seen by

:01:39. > :01:41.some as the traitor who finished off Boris Johnson, having initially

:01:42. > :01:48.recommended him as a potential Prime Minister in Michael Gove's interview

:01:49. > :01:52.was a complelg theatre. I took the decision very late on Wednesday

:01:53. > :01:58.evening. I went to bed at 1.30 in the morning. I reflected on it. I

:01:59. > :02:03.woke up early in the morning... You could have called him at 7.00am and

:02:04. > :02:08.told him. I decided I couldn't in conscious make that recommendation.

:02:09. > :02:13.A fellow Out campaigner and rival was forced to brush off remarks she

:02:14. > :02:17.made three years ago suggesting she supported the UK staying in the EU.

:02:18. > :02:21.Instead she wanted to focus on her view that the next Prime Minister

:02:22. > :02:26.had to have voted for Brexit. Somebody who says OK I've been told

:02:27. > :02:32.to leave, so I will leave, with no enthusiasm, is very different to

:02:33. > :02:39.somebody who absolutely sees the sun lit up plans of leaving the EU, the

:02:40. > :02:44.prospects for our children, our grandchildrener of business of being

:02:45. > :02:47.open to the world. Stephen Crabb is from a working class background.

:02:48. > :02:52.That, he says, matters. There is something about being able to

:02:53. > :02:56.understand and empathise particularly the communities who

:02:57. > :03:00.feel abandon bid Westminster, and understanding people who so far

:03:01. > :03:05.haven't benefitted from the fruits of economic recovery. That's

:03:06. > :03:09.something I bring. And this man seen as the outsider isn't giving up yet.

:03:10. > :03:11.There are a large number of uncommitted problem in this

:03:12. > :03:14.particular race. I think therefore the most important event is going to

:03:15. > :03:21.be the party hustings tomorrow night. The first round of voting

:03:22. > :03:24.takes place on Tuesday, when five candidates will become four. We'll

:03:25. > :03:28.have a new Prime Minister by September.

:03:29. > :03:31.The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has said he wants to work

:03:32. > :03:35.with the whole of his party, including the majority

:03:36. > :03:37.who opposed him in a vote of no confidence this week.

:03:38. > :03:40.Writing in a Sunday newspaper, Mr Corbyn said the priority must be

:03:41. > :03:43.opposing the Government, not infighting.

:03:44. > :03:56.In es tense word is defiance. He is absolutely determined to stay on

:03:57. > :04:00.because he says he has a mandate to stay on from those 250,000 people

:04:01. > :04:05.who voted for him less than a year ago. Writing in the Sunday Mirror he

:04:06. > :04:09.says by all means let's have a contest, but put up a candidate.

:04:10. > :04:14.I'll be a contender in that contest and, they think, his supporters,

:04:15. > :04:20.that he can win. His biggest backer in the union movement was out and

:04:21. > :04:24.about this morning and was not only defending Mr Corbyn but scathing

:04:25. > :04:28.about those MPs who said he should stand down.

:04:29. > :04:30.It's been a political lynching of a decent man.

:04:31. > :04:32.Undermined, humiliated, attacked, in order to push him out.

:04:33. > :04:37.Jeremy Corbyn is made of stronger stuff.

:04:38. > :04:43.He's a man of steel and he's made it clear that he will not step down.

:04:44. > :04:52.But to give you a sense of how high the stakes are now, he an

:04:53. > :04:55.unsolicited call this morning from a former Shadow Cabinet Minister

:04:56. > :05:01.saying things have to change, he has to go, his support is leaching away

:05:02. > :05:07.among party activists. Some who want to get rid of him are producing

:05:08. > :05:09.dossiers to try to prove that. It is a crisis for the Labour Party at the

:05:10. > :05:12.moment. Chris, thank you. A huge car bomb has killed at least

:05:13. > :05:15.75 people and injured more than 100 The suicide car bomber struck

:05:16. > :05:20.in a shopping district in the worst So-called Islamic State has

:05:21. > :05:35.claimed responsibility. Jeremy Bowen reports. The attack on

:05:36. > :05:41.a very crowded part of Baghdad happened at around 1 in the morning.

:05:42. > :05:46.Immediately a big fire gripped the buildings that were attacked. It was

:05:47. > :05:50.busy at that time of the day because it's the last days of Ramadan.

:05:51. > :05:55.During Ramadan in this very hot weather the streets are very crowded

:05:56. > :05:58.throughout the hours of darkness. People relaxing, drinking juice at

:05:59. > :06:03.this particular place, and that the time of the day having their final

:06:04. > :06:09.meal before they start fasting for another long day. There were two

:06:10. > :06:13.explosions, one where I'm standing and the other in that yellow brick

:06:14. > :06:17.brilling. Here I think there was a vehicle bomb. Over there they are

:06:18. > :06:21.saying it was man with a suicide belt. Massive explosions, designed

:06:22. > :06:26.to cause as much damage as possible. In the last week the Iraqi

:06:27. > :06:32.Government has recaptured the town of Fallujah, less an hour's drive

:06:33. > :06:35.from here, it was one of Islamic State's big strong points in the

:06:36. > :06:39.whole of the country. A major defeat for them. So really this attack is

:06:40. > :06:44.about Islamic State showing that they can hit back to devastating

:06:45. > :06:49.effect in the heart of the capital. And for the people of Baghdad,

:06:50. > :06:55.they're angry here today, angry that their security can't be protected.

:06:56. > :06:59.Exhausted by so many years of war. Exhausted too by the sectarian

:07:00. > :07:06.killing. And once again facing another tragedy right in the heart

:07:07. > :07:08.of their city. Jeremy Bowen, BBC News, Baghdad.

:07:09. > :07:10.Bangladesh is beginning two days of national mourning

:07:11. > :07:12.following the deadly attack by militants on a cafe

:07:13. > :07:15.20 hostages were killed, most of them foreigners,

:07:16. > :07:19.The authorities say the attackers were members of a local

:07:20. > :07:21.Islamist group and came from wealthy families,

:07:22. > :07:27.and were not so-called Islamic State militants.

:07:28. > :07:29.Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has called

:07:30. > :07:32.on the UK Government to guarantee the status of EU nationals

:07:33. > :07:41.She said EU citizens in Scotland are "understandably anxious"

:07:42. > :07:43.about what the result of the referendum means for them,

:07:44. > :07:45.but politicians in Westminster say more talks are needed before

:07:46. > :07:52.Two people have been charged with causing grievous bodily harm

:08:12. > :08:14.There's tennis at Wimbledon today for only the fourth time on a Sunday

:08:15. > :08:19.Rain delays have meant the extra day's play is necessary to catch up

:08:20. > :08:27.Our correspondent David Ornstein is there.

:08:28. > :08:37.It's the first time this has happened since 2004. 22,000 tickets

:08:38. > :08:42.sold out online in just 27 minutes. There were 111,000 applications. It

:08:43. > :08:46.has meant for a fantastic atmosphere but remember we are only here for

:08:47. > :08:50.the poor weather of the past week. The Wimbledon chief executive has

:08:51. > :08:57.told the BBC there are no plans to make middle Sunday a permanent

:08:58. > :09:05.fixture. The courts, he says, needs a rest, and the big Match of the Day

:09:35. > :09:54.is at 6.05 this evening. Hello. I think it's fair to say it's

:09:55. > :09:58.been a pretty indifferent summer so far for most of us. June did play a

:09:59. > :10:01.bit of a blinder in the north-west of Scotland. I am not going to

:10:02. > :10:05.promise too much in the weekend ahead, but we can talk about more

:10:06. > :10:06.sunshine for most. A lit less rain,
