Welcome back to Outside Source, with me Karin Giannone | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
Let's look through some of the main stories. | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
The Leader of the UK independence party, Nigel Farage, stands down. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
The man who campaigned for decades to take Britain out of the EU says | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
Could not possibly achieve more than we managed to get in referendum, and | :00:22. | :00:36. | |
so I feel it is right that I should now stand aside. Also, in the last | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
hour, we have heard that Boris Johnson has given his backing to | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
Andrea Leadsom in the Tory leadership contest. | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
There's been a suspected suicide bombing at one of Islam's holiest | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
sites in Saudi Arabia, during the final days of Ramadan. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
Coming up this half hour, we'll hear live from NASA's mission control. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
There are likely to be a lot of nerves - their $10 billion Juno | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
probe is about to reach Jupiter after a 3 billion kilometre | :00:57. | :01:00. | |

Nigel Farage has stepped down as leader of the UK Independence | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
For years he has been one of the most influential figures | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
in the campaign to take the UK out of the European Union. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Ben Wright looks back at his career. | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
The Sun has risen on an independent United Kingdom. | :01:40. | :01:49. | |
For two decades, Nigel Farage had a mission, to lead | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
While Ukip has just one MP at Westminster, the party's impact | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
Probably one of the most influential politicians in the post-war era, | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
not just of this century, because if it wasn't | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
for Nigel Farage and his hard work and the Ukip activists, | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
we wouldn't have had a referendum on our membership of the EU. | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
The former city trader was a founder of Ukip and soon distilled its pitch | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
What people are saying is get Britain out. | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
In 1999, Farage was elected to the European Parliament, | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
You have the charisma of a damp rag and the appearance | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
He wanted Britain to leave, but the years Ukip could not break | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
through with voters and in 2006 David Cameron memorably mocked them. | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
I mean, Ukip, it is just a bunch of fruit cakes and closet racists. | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
A decade later, Nigel Farage would have the last laugh. | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
With his love of the drink, Farage is not like most politicians | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
but the jovial demeanour disguised serious intent. | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
The seriousness that hardened after he was injured | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
in a plane crash in 2010, an experience that spurred him on. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
Over the next five years Ukip made huge strides, | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
coming first in the European elections in 2014. | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
He celebrated in a Westminster pub of course. | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
Ukip's campaign was cutting through, not only winning over disillusioned | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
Tories, but many working-class Labour voters as well. | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
David Cameron promised an EU referendum, in part to head | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
Today in Essex, where Ukip came second in the general election, | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
some disappointment at Nigel Farage's decision. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Shocked when you told me, he seems a nice guy, | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
He took the party from being a fringe organisation | :03:53. | :04:02. | |
to a mainstream political force is so very impressive figure. | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
I am glad he is going, especially the way he treated people | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
in the EU, the way he spoke to people is disgusting. | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
A divisive rabble-rouser to some, their hero to others, | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
Ukip without Nigel Farage will lose some of its colour. | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
Where the party heads next is a question for his successor. | :04:18. | :04:30. | |
There are three major sporting events underway - | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
Wimbledon, Tour de France and Euro 2016. | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
Britain's Andy Murray was in action against Nick Kyrgios from Australia. | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
Here was a picture Wimbledon sent as a tweet ahead of the match. | :04:40. | :04:54. | |
18-0. So, he has had 18 matches and won them all. Let's show you what | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
John Watson has. He has been looking at the action on Monday. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
Well, if Andy Murray was feeling the pressure about being a favourite | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
now, in the absence of Novak Djokovic, he wasn't showing it on | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
centre court as he breezed through his match with the Australian number | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
15 seed NIck Kyrgios coming through in state sets. Huge support, as you | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
can imagine, from the Centre Court crowd. Joining him there is Roger | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
Federer, the seven time Wimbledon champion also through in straight | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
sets, yet to drop a set in his opening three matches of these | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
Wimbledon Championships, beating the American Steve Johnson 6-2, 6-3, | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
7-5. Also there is Serena Williams, he came through in her match against | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia. The former two-time grand slam champion | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
was going to pose Serena problems, but she certainly didn't when Serena | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
is playing like that on centre court. A fantastic performance from | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
her, and she came through comfortably in the end, 7-5, 6-0. | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
Certainly a tournament worth keeping an ion, would Novak Djokovic not | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
here, Gardenia McGruther out in the women's singles, so it was business | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
as usual for Serena Williams, Roger Federer, and Andy Murray. | :06:16. | :06:16. | |
Peter Sagan spent much of the today's race enjoying his | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
first ever day in the race leader's yellow jersey. | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
He was at the front of the peloton chatting to fellow riders. | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
But it's Mark Cavendish's vintage that gets another line in the great | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
Let's get the latest from Chris Mitchell. | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
If we can find you, Chris, tell us about the action today. It was | :06:36. | :06:44. | |
fantastic. It is not often in the Tour de France that you get such an | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
exciting finish, and this one was a photo finish. Mark Cavendish, | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
winning his 28th Tour de France stage win. That is him in green | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
there. His opponent in the white, coming out of shot, crossed the | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
line, thought he had won the stage, but they had to go to a photo finish | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
to work out that it was Mark Cavendish, his 28th stage win, as | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
they say, and that equals the record. He is second in the all-time | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
list behind Eddie Merricks, who has got 34 stage wins. That is Peter | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
Sagan, who has the yellow jersey still. Chris Froome is in fourth | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
place in the overall standings, but today was all about the Manx | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
missile, they call him, because it really was amazing. If you think he | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
won his first stage in 2008, this is his 10th Tour de France. He still | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
has time and stages in this Tour de France to increase his tally from 28 | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
as well. So he really is the story of the day, and don't forget, he | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
will also be at the Olympics in Rio, riding in the velodrome. | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
Just one thing, Chris, to ask you about the NBA. We have been waiting | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
to see where Kevin Durant was going to sign. He then tweeted this, | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
rather cryptically, saying, my next chapter. What does he mean? | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
It up as all by surprise, really. He is going to the Golden State | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
Warriors. That was it a prize to many. They felt he was stay on at | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
Oklahoma City Thunder, where he has been for nine seasons. But then he | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
is, Kevin Durant. He will be playing at the Olympics as well for team | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
USA. He has had everything at Oklahoma, but he has never won the | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
championship ring. He has been to one finals, and was beaten by LeBron | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
James of the Miami Heat. He has been to four Western Conference finals. | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
Many fans say they don't like that he is moving away from his club, but | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
he is doing it because he is ambitious. And he is taking a pay | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
cut to do it, so you have got to love Kevin Durant. He is fuelled by | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
his ambition to win that NBA ring that Oklahoma could not give him. | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
And his move has tipped off loads of other moves. Now he has gone, there | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
are players moving all over the place. It will be an exciting few | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
days for NBA watchers. Thank you, Chris. Lots of excitement | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
as well in Euro 2016. Iceland lost in the quarter | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
finals on Sunday evening. Let me show you the reception | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
the team received when they got The tiny country did so much better | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
than most people expected, including knocking England out | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
of the competition. Matthew Price was in Reykjavik | :09:12. | :09:12. | |
to watch the match. I slammed on the global map! -- | :09:13. | :09:25. | |
Iceland. I don't think anyone imagine that | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
they would go so far, and I am just proud. | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
I am very proud. I am proud. | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
That pretty much sums it up here. It just does not feel like a loss. | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
This is how they reacted at the end of full-time. | :09:46. | :09:45. | |
CHEERING It has been a big match buys land, | :09:46. | :09:55. | |
but it was expected. For us, France is the best team in | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
this tournament, and they will win it. | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
Well, you would have thought they were had actually won, with new? | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
This is just a massive party going on here. On the edge of the Arctic | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
Circle, under the almost endless daylight that they get at this time | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
of year. And despite the defeat to France, well, many people here in | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
Iceland will tell you that this was a victory. And already, they are | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
looking to the future, to the team's return today, a celebration. No | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
recriminations. And then, the next World Cup. They still believe. | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
In a moment: we'll hear live from NASA's mission control | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
where in just a few hours the Juno probe will rocket into orbit | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
around the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter. | :10:46. | :10:58. | |
has made a direct appeal for the party to unite. | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
After a week in which he's lost the support of most of his MPs, | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
he's posted a video on social media, defending his nine month record. | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
Our Political Correspondent Vicki Young reports. | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
Will you resign? Nice to see you. | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
Resignations are popular at Westminster right now, but the | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
Labour leader has never been a follower of fashion. | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
Will you resign, Mr Corbyn? Jeremy Corbyn is under enormous | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
pressure to go, but today, he could not have been clearer. | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
Only nine months ago, I was very honoured to be elected leader of our | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
party. Using social media to speak direct | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
me to his party, he said he was staying put. | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
I want to reach out to all our members, to all our supporters, to | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
all our trade union affiliates, and to my colleagues in Parliament. Come | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
together, now. But many of his MPs are in no mood for compromise. | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
Angela Eagle says she is ready to launch a leadership challenge. | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
I have the support to run and resolve this impasse, and I will do | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
so if Jeremy doesn't take action soon. That is all I have got to say. | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
Last week, more than 60 of Mr Corbyn's front bench team walked | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
out, urging him to resign. Then, in a vote of no-confidence, more than | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
170 Labour MPs refused to back their leader. But his team say he was | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
elected by a quarter of a million party members, and thousands more | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
are signing up to him. There has been some talk here about | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
brokered deal between the Labour leader and his MPs, but it is hard | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
to see how that would work. Many now expect a leadership contest. One MP | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
told me that they had had the fight of their lives, and if Mr Corbyn was | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
re-elected, they are openly talking about a split in the Labour Party. | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
Mr Corbyn's team, however, say he is to be getting on with the job. | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
And this afternoon, that meant a grilling from MPs about allegations | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party. Do you except their Jewish | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
groups and organisations are fearful with you as the leader of the Labour | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
Party, that you are fostering a period in the party where | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
anti-Semitism exists? I think that is deeply unfair and | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
deeply wrong. It is absolutely the last thing I would want to do. | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
Keep Corbyn! Labour MPs hope is to Corbyn will resign, but he is | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
drawing strength from the tens of thousands of party members who | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
propelled him to victory last year. For now, there is no sign of this | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
stand-off coming to an end. This is Outside Source live | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
from the BBC newsroom. One of the most | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
influential figures in the campaign to take the UK out | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
of the European Union, Nigel Farage, has stood | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
down as leader If you're outside the UK, | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
it's World News America next. The program will be looking back | :13:47. | :13:56. | |
at the incredible A new exhibition at | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery is currently exploring | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
the life of the baseball icon. Here in the UK, the | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
News at Ten is next. They're looking ahead to the release | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
of the long awaited report into Britain and America's | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
invasion of Iraq in 2003. Jeremy Bowen has been looking | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
at Iraq today, more than decade Many Americans will be watching | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
fireworks this Fourth of July, but there's another reason people | :14:21. | :14:28. | |
will be looking skyward tonight. A NASA probe is about to arrive | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
at Jupiter, five years and three billion kilometres | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
after it was launched. Let me show you this tweet | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
from the space agency: If the engine fails to fire | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
at the right time, or for long enough, the billion-dollar probe | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
will fly straight past Jupiter The BBC's Science Correspondent, | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
Rebecca Morelle has more. Here are the top five things you | :14:57. | :15:11. | |
need to know about Nasa's mission to Jupiter. Firstly, it has been an | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
epic journey. The Juno spacecraft has blasted off in 2011, and since | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
then, it has hurtled 2.8 billion kilometres through the solar system. | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
But the trickiest part is still to come. When it arrives at Jupiter, | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
Juno will be travelling at 250,000 kilometres an hour, so to get into | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
orbit, it needs to slam on the brakes by burning its engine for | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
exactly 35 minutes. If it misfires, the entire mission could be lost. | :15:42. | :15:49. | |
Two. Jupiter is big, bad. Jupiter is a whopper, the size of 1300 Earths, | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
and it is a world of extremes, colossal storms raging on the planet | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
's surface. It spins around so fast it's gravity is like a giant | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
slingshot, flinging around rocks and dust, anything that gets in its way. | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
And then there is the radiation. That is thousands of times harsher | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
than anything we have ever seen here on earth. | :16:13. | :16:21. | |
Juno is like an armoured tank. The spacecraft is big, three and a half | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
metres wide, and it is tough. Its scientific instruments are protected | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
by a thick titanium shield. Juno will have to withstand anything | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
Jupiter can throw at it, especially the charged particles that could | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
frazzle on-board electronics. Four. Juno will get up close and | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
personal. We have been to Jupiter, but this | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
spacecraft will get closer than ever before. It will see the giant red | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
spot, Jupiter's biggest storm, up close, and we'll find out how much | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
water and Doctor Jeannette holds. It will also appear beneath the clouds | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
to discover what lies at the planet's court. Fivefive. Jupiter is | :16:59. | :17:08. | |
a time capsule, born out of a swirling cloud of gas and dust. It | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
is thought to have been the first planning to form in our solar | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
system, but since then, it's make-up has remained largely unchanged. So | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
shedding light on Jupiter could also shed light on the origins of us, the | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
Earth the other planets. This is a mission with a lot riding on it. | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
Let's talk to Betty now. Becky is at mission | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
control in Pasadena. How far as Juno from its | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
destination? It really is getting very close | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
indeed. This crucial manoeuvre now takes place in about seven hours, so | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
Juno, essentially at the moment, and there is a model of it behind me. | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
The actual thing is about four times larger, so it is quite a chunky | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
spacecraft. At the moment, it is travelling at 250,000 kilometres an | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
hour, which makes it the fastest man-made object ever. It has to slam | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
on its brakes that is very precise 35 minute period. If anything goes | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
wrong with it, everything is lost, and what is more difficult is, all | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
of this is done on autopilot because Juno is too far away from the earth | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
for scientists to be controlling it back here, so they have had to | :18:19. | :18:20. | |
upload the instructions and hope for the best, really. How nervous are | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
they at Mission Control Moment Double? | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
It Is A Very Expensive Spacecraft, And They Have Been waiting years. | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
Yes, this mission has been years in the making, and it is $1 billion | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
worth of spacecraft. I think there is a real mix here of excitement | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
among the scientists, who have been working there would waiting really | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
long, and it is now here. And also, pure fear, because they are moving | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
into uncharted territory, and it is not just the difficulties of getting | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
Juno into orbit. Once it is there, the environment is incredibly | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
hostile. Jupiter has the worst weather in the solar system, these | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
huge storms, but more importantly, the radiation, these charged | :19:02. | :19:03. | |
particles moving almost at the speed of light, and the spacecraft will be | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
blitzed by them. They just don't really know how it'll react. You | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
can't mimic those conditions on Earth. You don't have a lab you can | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
take the spacecraft into to test it out. You have to throw it into | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
Jupiter and see what happens. You can't really think of a less | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
hospitable environment for a little spacecraft to arrive. Are they | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
daring to say that this might not end in absolute success, or are they | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
all being very positive? They are being very positive here, | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
but it is a short mission, because once the spacecraft Juno is in | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
orbit, it is going to be an 18 month mission. They will only orbit 37 | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
times around Jupiter, although Jupiter is really big, so one orbit | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
is actually quite a long way. It also has an elliptical orbit, | :19:51. | :19:52. | |
swinging in very close to the polls, very close to the planet, about 5000 | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
kilometres above the surface. It then wings its way back out again | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
really far away, and that is how it can avoid these deadly radiation | :20:03. | :20:04. | |
bands. They think they have done all the computer modelling to make sure | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
they have built this to withstand this, and will not travel through | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
the worst areas of radiation, but even then, they think some of the | :20:14. | :20:15. | |
instruments might fail before the end of the mission. One of them was | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
saying, as I chatted to him, it is not worth doing missions like this | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
unless you are taking risks. Why go out there if you are not going to | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
try and get closer than ever before, to see bits you have never seen | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
before? So they are nervous, but we will see. We will indeed. We will be | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
watching and waiting. Thank you, Rebecca, in Pasadena. | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
In the run up to the EU referendum, those who supported Britain | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
remaining in the EU accused Russia of actively backing a Brexit. | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
So what has the reaction been in Russia to the referendum | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
result AND the political upheaval here in Britain? | :20:51. | :20:52. | |
Here's our Moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg. | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
Ahead of EU referendum, the Remain campaign had insisted that the | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
Kremlin wanted Britain to vote Leave. The argument went like this - | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
Brexit would mean a weaker EU and a stronger Russia. Vladimir Putin | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
might be happy with the Brexit, David Cameron had said. So, now that | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
Britain has voted to leave the European Union, is Russia happy? It | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
is a very interesting thing how Europe and the US and the West in | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
general predicts Russia's reaction on referendums and what would happen | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
after the referendum. It is up to the EU and London, Brussels, to | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
decide what to do. This is the only, or perhaps the | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
first time, when actually, the process of European integration is | :21:50. | :22:00. | |
not put on hold or on pause, as Secretary Kerry prefers to name it, | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
but it is a step backwards. I use a prize by the events in the | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
United Kingdom? We are used to Britain being a calm place | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
politically, without any political earthquake. -- are you surprised? | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
Same after you have not been watching much of your parliamentary | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
debates, have you? I would not subscribe to those | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
definitions of the British political scene. But yes, I was surprised, | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
because it is a radical decision that does not happen very often. | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
And this is Andrei Lugovoi, Russian MP, wanted by Britain over the | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
killing of former Russian agent Alexander Litvinenko. From the prime | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
suspect, this message to the Prime Minister, David Cameron. | :22:39. | :22:57. | |
As for the man who works out of this building, well, he has been rather | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
less, the mentor. Vladimir Putin has accused David Cameron of trying to | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
blackmail Europe by holding the referendum in the first place. | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
Now, mystery and Pyongyang. South Korean analysts say the North Korean | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
leader, Kim Jong-un, is putting on weight. Our Asia-Pacific editor been | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
finding out what might be going on. South Korea's spy agency says the | :23:25. | :23:35. | |
North Korean leader is comfort eating to cope with the fear of | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
being assassinated. They're certainly does seem to be a little | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
more of him. Korea watchers scrutinise pictures of the leader | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
for hints about his health and the security of his position. People | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
worried when they saw him limping. Did he have gout? Was he | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
overindulging? And when he went missing for a while, they wondered | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
if he had been replaced. We know so little about North Korea | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
that even snippets of information seem useful, but perhaps they say | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
nothing about politics in Pyongyang, and more about the world's | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
fascination with a country that often seems baffling and bizarre. | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
Michael Bristow reporting there. More of that on the BBC website. | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
Let's just remind you of the story which broke in the last hour here in | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
London. The former Mayor of London, Boris | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
Johnson, who campaigned for the UK to leave the EU, has given his | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
support to Andrea Leadsom. There she is, as the next leader of the | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
Conservative Party. She is currently Energy Minister. Mr Johnson said she | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
had be zapped, drive and determination needed to be Prime | :24:42. | :24:43. | |
Minister. You may remember he was expected to | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
run himself for the leadership after David Cameron announced his | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
resignation, but when his key ally Michael Gove announced his bid, Mr | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
Johnson decided against it. That is all from us for now. I will be back | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
at the same time tomorrow. Thank you for watching. | :24:58. | :25:06. | |
Hello there. If you are feeling a little hard done by the summer so | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
far, that is easy to understand. If we look at the Met office stats for | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
the month of June, it was a bit icky legal month as far as sunshine | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
amounts are concerned, especially for England and Wales. The | :25:22. | :25:22. |
