Good afternoon. Jeremy Corbyn has said he is disappointed that Angela

Eagle is preparing to launch a challenge for the leadership but has

again insisted he has a mandate for the leadership and will not stand

down. They will meet on Tuesday to decide whether he can stand without

the backing of 50 MPs and MEPs. He says he expects to be on the ballot

of any contest. This report contains flash photography. Look at his smile

and listen to the cheer. Just last September, Jeremy Corbyn one big to

become Labour's leader but ever since, the roar of his many

supporters has encountered the Raft of his many MPs. Now his former

shadow health -- Shadow Secretary of State wants his help. We need a

strengthened Labour Party and an opposition that can unite so we can

heal the country and unfortunately I don't think Jeremy can do that job.

Appearing on the Andrew Marr Show, he appeared very relaxed. He said he

had reached out in a way that no other leader had in an effort -- in

an effort to unite Labour. But he acknowledged... I am disappointed

but she is free to do that if she wishes to. We have worked together

in the past nine months in the Shadow Cabinet and this is an

opportunity when we could put enormous pressure on the Tory

government. Instead, Labour finds itself in the depths of a crisis,

the likes of which it has never seen before. In case you doubt that,

listen to the language chosen by this senior Labour MP on Radio 4 to

describe her leader. I've known Jeremy for 35 years. I used to think

he was a decent man. I'm beginning to think he's actually a devious man

who is more concerned with destroying the Labour Party than he

is with creating a force that can win an election in such difficult

times and which will unite the party. This was Labour's leader last

Autumn's party conference. The crowd was delighted and he was eager to

going. Any chance we can start? The question now is whether he could

soon be finished. Do we actually know whether Jeremy Corbyn will be

on this ballot? The very short answer to your question is we don't

know. There is a tussle over the rules. Some are arguing that in

order for him to be able to stand again he would have to find the

support of 51 MPs and MEPs. On the current maths, that looks difficult.

On an alternative interpretation of the rules, Jeremy Corbyn's office

say he automatically would get onto the ballot and it would be only his

contestant who would need to find the support of those MPs. That is

the short-term challenge for Labour, which could end up with a legal

challenge. The bigger challenge is whatever happens here, either Jeremy

Corbyn stays on leaves, Labour still faces huge questions. If he stays

on, a lot of his MPs think he should leave. If he is removed, thousands

of his activists will feel robbed. The UK anti-doping agency is

investigating claims that at least three British athletes received

banned drugs whilst training in tenure. Members of staff are in

tenure pursuing lines of enquiry after evidence under covered by

Sunday Times reporters prompted grave concern. The athletes have not

been named. Sir Cliff Richard has concerned he is to sue the BBC and

South Yorkshire Police in connection with the filming of a raid on his

home two years ago. The raid was carried out by officers looking for

evidence of historical six crimes. No charges were brought but Cliff

Richard said his life was turned upside down. A Parliamentary

committee found the BBC had acted appropriately. Protest against the

shooting by police of black men have continued despite a plea by

President Obama for the nation to unite. Most of the protests have

been peaceful but there have been clashes in Louisiana and Minnesota,

with dozens of arrests. This to vultures week has violently exposed

the racial divide in America. Three shootings have shaken the nation. It

has provoked stand-offs. In Dallas, police headquarters are in lockdown

because of anonymous threats. The city remained on alert after the

deadly attack by a black army veteran on police. There were

expressions of support for policeman here. Other attacks followed

elsewhere in the country on individual officers. In Baton Rouge,

community leaders work to keep the peace. This image put them on edge.

Back Panthers marching. It revives echoes of a more militant era. This

is still alive and we need to make sure that we are still unified as a

people and not have those things that the terrorist from the mission

we are on, to have equality. Silence is violence. Here in Minnesota,

protestors are fired up by a video showing a routine traffic stopped

turning into a killing. If it can happen to cook at the school,

legally carrying his gun in a city like this, it can happen to anyone.

In this community, they met to honour the dead and they renewed

pledges to fight racial injustice, mindful the service was taking place

in the shadow of Dallas. We've got to make sure we don't lose attention

of the deaths earlier in the week, as much as our hearts grieve that

public servants in the line of duty were slaughtered and that is not

acceptable. We've got to be able to hold both in our hands and that's

very difficult. Very difficult. It feels like something has changed in

America this week. There's been so many shocking deaths in such public

ways affecting so many people, including some not normally exposed

to this kind of violence. These issues have been around for a long

time but people are wondering if this is a really rough patch in an

ongoing cycle or a turning point. The family of an American journalist

killed in Syria four years ago are suing the regime of President Assad,

saying she was murdered as part of a deliberate policy of killing

journalists. They say documents smuggled out of Syria shows she was

trapped before the artillery strike was directed to kill her. Lord

Prescott has said he now believes the decision to go to war against

Iraq 13 years ago was illegal. He said Tony Blair had not given the

cabinet enough information to assess the issue and he now believed the

aim of the invasion had been regime change. Andy Murray is hoping for a

second Wimbledon title when he takes on me last run it this afternoon. It

is his 11th grand slam final. -- Milos Raonic. Fen-2-mac is the first

Canadian man to reach a final -- Milos Raonic. He is in form but can

he do it? Four years ago we gathered here as he prepared to play his

first Wimbledon final against Roger Federer. He lost it but he endeared

himself to the public and one year later he returned and made amends,

beating Novak Djokovic and becoming the first British man in 77 years to

win the title. That took him to a new level. Three years later he's

back again, trying to do it. Unlike on those occasions he comes into

this one as favourite. Milos Raonic however, the first Canadian man in a

grand slam singles final, does carry a threat. He's got a huge serve, he

pushed Andy Murray all the way in the final of Queens and he beat

Roger Federer in the semifinals. There has already been a British

success with Gordon Reid winning the men's wheelchair as singles title,

and he is one of four British players in the finals. But the main

one is Andy Murray. As you can see from the hill behind me, it is

packed and the atmosphere is building nicely. You can see more on

the story on the BBC News Channel. Goodbye for now.

So far this summer has been pretty cloudy and this weather pattern will

continue for the next few days. Today has been no exception, cloud

around, some patches of rain, if you've been outside already you've

probably noticed
