Controversy has broken out in the race for the leadership | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
Candidate Andrea Leadsom has suggested to The Times | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
that she would be a better Prime Minister than her | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
rival Theresa May - because SHE is a mother. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
This morning Andrea Leadsom criticised the newspaper's coverage, | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
insisting everyone had an equal stake in the future of society. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Here's our Political Correspondent, Eleanor Garnier. | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
. So much more to give... The outsider in the race, the | :00:46. | :00:54. | |
Eurosceptic Energy Minister, whose exciting traditional Tories but the | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
mum of three is facing criticism. In an interview in The Times when she | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
suggested being a parent made her a better choice as Prime Minister. | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
I feel being a mum means you have a very real stake in the future of our | :01:12. | :01:21. | |
country, a tangible take... This morning, outside her home in north | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
Hamptonshire, he is defended her comments. | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
I was repeatedly asked about my children. I repeatedly made it clear | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
I did not want this to be in any way a feature of the campaign. I am | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
disgusted at the way this has been presented. I want to be crystal | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
clear that everyone has an equal stake in our society and in the | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
future of our country. But being a mum was a big part of | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
her message, during the referendum campaign. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
I did a stint as the City Minister, and I'm a mum... Comments that did | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
not go unnoticed. I have to remind people at home if | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
people are mistaken, that there are mums, dads, and began dads on this | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
side of the argument. The journalist who wrote the story | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
is standing by it. It was naive to make the comparison | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
and expect it not to become an issue. She is try to become the | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
Prime Minister of the country, judgment and character matter as | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
well as policy. Theresa May released a pledge for a | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
clean campaign. No official response from her today but she reposted it | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
on social media. Despite appeals for unity, after a fractious referendum | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
campaign, the Conservative leader race is off to a controversial | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
We will not know until we get the results in September it is the | :02:49. | :03:01. | |
Conservative membership not the general public that has the final | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
say. There may be some members who want their Prime Minister and leader | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
to be a mum but many others who say that they don't care, that it should | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
not be used to get ahead during the leadership campaign. That is why we | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
have had such a strong reaction to the comments with some senior Tories | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
saying that the remarks are vile and others calling for an apology. Now, | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
it is clear that she was not trying to be cruel, to Theresa May but what | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
it has shown, I think, is her inexperience and some are saying her | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
lack of judgment, which is crucial to being the Prime Minister. I have | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
heard from Andrea Leadsom's team, who have said that they are putting | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
in an official complaint to the Times. | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
And in the last hour the Deputy Leader of | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
the Labour Party has said he's called off crisis talks with union | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
chiefs over the future of Jeremy Corbyn. | :03:55. | :03:55. | |
Tom Watson said there was "no realistic prospect | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
of reaching a compromise" - because of the party leader's | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
Mr Corbyn has significant support among trade unions | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
and party members - but the majority of Labour | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
Police in Dallas have found weapons and bomb-making materials | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
at the home of the man who murdered five officers in the city. | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
Micah Johnson, who was killed by police after the attack, | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
had said he'd wanted to kill white people - | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
This report from our Correspondent, David Willis. | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
In a sleepy Dallas suburb, the police recovered an arsenal | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
of weapons and bomb-making equipment from the home of the man who carried | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
And amongst the guns and the ammunition, | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
they found his journal, containing combat tactics, | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
a personal manifesto for his murderous rampage | :04:45. | :04:45. | |
That attack plunged a previously peaceful protest into chaos. | :04:46. | :04:54. | |
Shots rained down from a building overhead as the attacker, | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
a 25-year-old black man, sought out white police officers... | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
The gunman's been named as Micah Johnston, | :05:03. | :05:13. | |
The police say he was armed with an assault rifle and wearing | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
This was a man we gave plenty of options to give | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
He had a choice to come out and we would not harm him | :05:21. | :05:35. | |
# How sweet the sound... | :05:36. | :05:51. | |
A prayer vigil at the Catholic cathedral here heard calls | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
for an end to racism and what the priest called | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
the endless military policeage of tragic events in America. | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
As this city seeks to heal, it would perhaps be tempting | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
to regard the killing of five American policemen as an isolated | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
incident were it not for the fact that there are reports of three | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
separate gun attacks on police officers in three separate states, | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
The question now after a week of violence is what can be done | :06:10. | :06:17. | |

Serena Williams is going for her seventh title. | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
If she wins, the American will draw level with Steffi Graf as the winner | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
Williams is up against Germany's Angelique Kerber. | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
That's it for now - the next news on BBC | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
Yes, as the great British summer continues, you may wish to keep your | :06:41. | :07:05. | |
umbrella handy. But a promising start to the weekend, this was a | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
