From front runner to no show - Boris Johnson pulls out of the race | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
What is your message to Michael Gove? | :00:09. | :00:18. | |
He led the charge for the Leave campaign in the referendum but | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
Having consulted colleagues and in view of the circumstances in | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
Parliament, I have concluded that person cannot be me. | :00:28. | :00:36. | |
They were the dream team on the road but at the last minute Michael Gove | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
While Boris has great attributes, he was not capable of uniting that | :00:40. | :00:48. | |
team and leading the party and the country in the way | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
Also standing is Theresa May who says she is offering strong | :00:51. | :00:59. | |
leadership and warns that politics is not a game. | :01:00. | :01:01. | |

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
In the most astonishing turn of events - in a week that's already | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
thrown up a few shocks - Boris Johnson has announced that | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
he's not a candidate to become the next Conservative leader. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
His decision came just hours after Justice Secretary Michael | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
Gove - his colleague in the Leave campaign - | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
Earlier, the Home Secretary, Theresa May, | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
who campaigned to stay in the EU, announced she would be standing. | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg reports on the start | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
of a contest that will lead to a new Prime Minister for Britain. | :02:39. | :02:48. | |
Waiting, waiting and waiting. Even some of Boris Johnson's closest | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
friends and supporters did not know what they were waiting for. Only his | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
wife and a couple of confidence knew what was coming next. I must tell | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
you, my friends, you who have waited faithfully for the punch line of | :03:10. | :03:18. | |
this speech that, having consulted colleagues and in view of the | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
circumstances in Parliament, I have concluded that person cannot be me. | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
The blonde dropped a bombshell, leaving the race. Because his | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
campaign chief, Michael Gove, had phoned the strategist Lynton Crosby | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
this morning, quitting and saying he would run instead. Thought Mr | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
Johnson's supporters, tears and disbelief. You look absolutely | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
devastated. Yeah, well... I worked with him for ten years in London, I | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
know his quality and I stand by everything I said about him. | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
Obviously the circumstances of the last couple of days have been very | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
turbulent and caught a lot of us by surprise. I didn't know, I'm very | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
disappointed. I had no idea, a total surprise to me. In 24-hour is, | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
friends have turned bitter foes come they fought and won the referendum | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
together but now Michael Gove is not just withdrawing his support but | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
saying he wants to be Prime Minister in stead. Although he has always | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
denied having that ambition. The one thing I do know is that having seen | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
David Cameron up close, I know that it takes extraordinary reserves of | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
patients of judgment, of character to lead this country and he has it | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
and I don't. So what on earth has made Michael Gove completely changed | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
his view? During the course of the last few days I have realised that | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
while Boris does have those very special abilities to communicate and | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
to reach out, what he did not have was the capacity to build and the | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
league that team and to provide the leadership of the country need at | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
this critical moment. You have worked closely with Boris Johnson | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
for the last few months during the referendum campaign and you have | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
known the man for decades. People will think it is rather surprising | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
that suddenly you are saying that in the last couple of days it has | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
occurred to me that he is not up to it? In the last four days I had a | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
chance to see up close and personal how Boris dealt with some of the | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
decisions we needed to make to take this country forward. During that | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
period I had hoped that Boris would rise to the occasion because | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
inevitably, when you have a leadership election, people are | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
tested, questions are asked of them tests are set. As I say, Boris has a | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
formidable qualities but I saw him not to pass those tests. Whether it | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
is treachery or tragedy, the Home Secretary's smooth calm puts her as | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
front runner. The Lord was packed with MPs and ministers ready to | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
support her promises to cut immigration and provide stability at | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
a time of crisis. Mike Pitt is very simple, I'm Theresa May and I think | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
the best person to be Prime Minister of this country -- my pitch. If ever | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
there was a time for a Prime Minister who is ready and able to do | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
the job from day one, this is it. We have immediate work to do to restore | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
political stability and economic certainty, to bring together the | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
party and the country and to negotiate a sensible and orderly | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
departure from the European Union. And I know I'm not a showy | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
politician, I don't tour the television studios, I don't gossip | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
about people over lunch, go drinking in Parliament's bars, I don't often | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
wet my heart on my sleeve, I just get on with the job in front of me | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
-- where my heart. You were on the losing side of the European | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
argument. What is it now that makes you think you are a winner? I think | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
what the public want is strong, resilient leadership and I think | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
they want honesty from their politicians. And I have always tried | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
to be as clear with people as possible about what the challenges | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
are and the difficulties in facing them and how we can do that together | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
and I think that is what people are looking for. But this race for | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
number ten may yet find surprising stars. The referendum gave a big | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
platform to Andrea Leadsom who has now said she will run. I have a real | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
hard for this, it is something I long to do so I am hoping but at the | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
end of the day it is after the party and then the country. The former | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
Defence Secretary Liam Fox, on the right of the Tory party, is taking | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
another shot. This is about the government of our country, the | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
future of our relationships with Europe and the beyond. What do you | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
want to say to Michael Gove? It is an undignified departure from the | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
race from a politician who pleases crowd but alarms some others. Not | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
even a week since his biggest victory, Boris Johnson's battle to | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
become Prime Minister is lost before it officially began. Laura Coombs | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
Bert van Marwijk, BBC News, Westminster. -- Laura Kuenssberg. | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
Michael Gove was by no means the only Conservative | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
Lord Heseltine launched a scathing attack on him, | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
saying he'd created the greatest constitutional crisis | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
In just one week Mr Johnson has gone from victory to defeat. | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
James Landale looks at what went wrong for him and what it means | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
His report contains some flash photography. Boris Johnson was the | :08:35. | :08:49. | |
charismatic face of Leave, campaigning for a cause as the | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
Castle as he once campaigned for himself, a man who appealed beyond | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
party bounds and, yes, who won. I believe that this that they can be | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
our country's Independence Day. And if Britain chose to get out of the | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
EU, many thought he could get into Downing Street. And after Leave won, | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
the assumption was that he and Michael Gove would form a dream | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
ticket, uniting popular support with intellectual rigour. But it was not | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
to be. In a statement released this morning, Michael Gove said... | :09:23. | :09:32. | |
MPs backing Mr Johnson were furious. You are quite shocked? I am, it | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
looks like a student political game when the country needs direction and | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
clarity and of maturity. I am shocked and surprised that people | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
should behave in this way. So why did Mr Gove changes mind? In any | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
mail this week and his wife claimed that Tory members and media moguls | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
like Rupert Murdoch needed reassurance about Mr Johnson. Some | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
MPs claimed that an article in the Daily Telegraph on Monday showed Mr | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
Johnson did not have the determination to deliver on Brexit | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
and one MPs who backed Mr Johnson in the papers today suggested there had | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
been a row about campaign staff and cabinet jobs. We wanted a broad | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
range and when you look at the list of candidates, some unexpected, | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
people that we wanted to have on site that are now running in their | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
own right, and we thought that we would have avoided that. We have a | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
strong, unified team. It did not happen because Boris was cavalier | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
with the assurances he made. Many MPs believe that Mr Gopal out | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
primarily because he did not believe Mr Johnson could win and that his | :10:38. | :10:38. | |
heart was not in this race. Mr Johnson's supporters claim | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
that this wasn't some last-minute change of mind but a deliberate, | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
planned political assassination. Either way, not everyone has | :10:45. | :10:54. | |
sympathy for Mr Johnson. For where he has left the Tory party and the | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
country. This guy has created the biggest hunted usual crisis in peace | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
time in my lifetime. He has seen eight serious depletion in the | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
nation's savings, he has torn the Tory party apart. And the man who | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
sought the leadership for years has seen it plucked from his grasp. The | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
bitterness of today will linger long. James Farndale, BBC News, | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
Westminster. So how will the Conservative | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
leadership contest work? Michael Gove and Theresa May are | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
the best known of the candidates. They, and Stephen Crabb, | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
Andrea Leadsom and Liam Fox MPs will whittle the list | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
down to two candidates. Party members will choose one | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
of them - our next Prime Minister. Lets talk to our political editor, | :11:36. | :11:48. | |
Laura Kuenssberg. The party was meant to reunite after the | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
referendum but it does not look like that. Absolutely not. There are all | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
sorts of different accounts of what went on but one thing is clear, | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
suspicion and mistrust are all around this in Westminster tonight. | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
Boris Johnson, whether it was his own fault because of how he has | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
behaved or whether this was an act of political treachery by Michael | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
Gove, is one of our best-known politicians, known so much for his | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
ambition to one they moved into number ten. His decision to abandon | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
that goal that he has held for years is a huge shock here in Westminster. | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
Certainly tonight there is a senior group of conservatives who for a | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
long time have seen the party's destiny as being up to them, who are | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
completely at odds with each other and you cannot emphasise enough how | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
personal this all is. They have put together and know each other for | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
decades and what has happened today is a real shock and a real | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
bitterness is being felt all around. The other thing that is clear | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
tonight is that the Home Secretary, Theresa May, now moves elegantly and | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
smoothly to become the front runner not just to become the next Tory | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
leader but to become our next Prime Minister. Her campaign launched | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
today was a complete contrast to what happened with Mr Johnson and Mr | :13:07. | :13:14. | |
Gove. But leadership races, as we have been absolutely reminded of | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
today, Camberley completely and totally unpredictable. Given that | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
the referendum result had not even been decided this time last week, we | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
were going to be ballot is to decide our future, it is astonishing how | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
much things have changed in the last seven days and they could change | :13:30. | :13:30. | |
again long before this is settled. The Governor of the Bank of England, | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
Mark Carney, has signalled that interest rates could be cut | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
over the summer. He warned that economic growth | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
could be hit for some time The Governor of the Bank of England, | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
Mark Carney, has signalled that Mr Carney said more cash might also | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
need to be pumped into the economy. Here's our Business | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
Editor Simon Jack. As the boat leaves campaign punched | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
the air in victory last week, the market hit the floor. ?1.8 trillion | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
was wiped off shares worldwide in a single day, the city and the country | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
seemed rudderless. The Bank of England had described Brexit is the | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
biggest risk to the economy and the governor had not changed his tune to | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
the economy and the governor had not changed his tune today. In my view, | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
and I'm not prejudging the views of other independent members of the | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
MPC, the economic outlook has deteriorated and some monetary | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
policy easing will likely be required over the summer. That could | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
mean lower interest rates, more money printing or both, to deal with | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
a new economic reality. The material slowing in growth that the MPC had | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
identified as a risk associated with the referendum now looks likely to | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
be our central forecast. Out in the real economy there is some early | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
evidence of a slowdown. One thing we have noticed is 4-mac a potential | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
contract in the pipeline have pulled back, international client is | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
looking to invest in the UK and until we know if Britain is in the | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
single market or not they will be a period of under the -- uncertainties | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
and that is unsettling for people looking to invest here, for jobs and | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
for new business. That the biggest losers this week have been banks. | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
HSBC and JP Morgan have warned jobs in the UK could go to Europe but to | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
date the Barclays chief told the BBC that UK jobs were not under threat. | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
We want to be involved in the capital markets globally. Right now | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
the best way to do that is to be anchored in London and New York as | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
we are. We might have to increase your present in another location | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
that does not necessarily mean you are decreasing your present here. Do | :15:41. | :15:48. | |
you predict reception? It is too early to tell. This is not an | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
economic crisis, this is very different to what happened in 2008. | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
In some financial markets have roared back, helped in part by the | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
Governor's hint of an imminent interest rate cut. It is still early | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
days in the post Brexit journey but to date is the Bank of England made | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
it clear it thinks the sky has darkened over the UK economy. Simon | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
Jack, BBC News. The Government has decided | :16:11. | :16:12. | |
to postpone a decision on airport expansion in the south-east | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
of England until a new Prime An announcement on projects | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
at Heathrow or Gatwick had been Business leaders have | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
criticised the move, saying airport capacity is now | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
an even greater priority following Now, the Conservatives aren't | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
the only ones facing The former Shadow Business | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
Secretary, Angela Eagle, was expected to say that she would | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
be challenging Jeremy Corbyn But the BBC understands | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
she is delaying her announcement. It follows an overwhelming vote | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
of no confidence in Jeremy Corbyn Our Deputy Political Editor | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
John Pienaar reports. Jeremy Corbyn's home is normally | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
mobbed by the media. Today, as rival Cabinet Ministers | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
jostled and bumped each other off in the power struggle for Britain, | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
he set off in peace. No-one's even asking | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
what Labour thinks anymore. First launching a plan to stamp out | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
racism in the party, he upset critics by mentioning | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
Israel and the so-called Islamic Our Jewish friends are no more | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
responsible for the actions actions of Israel or the Netanyahu | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
Government than our Muslim friends A pro-Corbyn activist who'd handed | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
out a statement saying rebel MPs should be sacked as candidates | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
turned on a Jewish MP for what he So you can see who's | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
working hand-in-hand. The MP, Ruth Smeeth | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
walked out in disgust. And under enormous pressure to stand | :17:44. | :17:53. | |
down, facing an imminent leadership I am the leader of the party | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
and I'm doing that. What do you say to those many | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
members and most of your MPs who will never follow your | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
leadership no matter what you say And is the break-up of the Labour | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
Party a price worth paying I'm sorry, John, | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
I am going to cut in. There will be plenty of time | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
in the months ahead Mr Corbyn made a message | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
to the Labour Party. He headed back to Westminster | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
where his MPs are competing to see Mr Corbyn, is the break-up | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
of your party a price worth paying? And where once loyal MPs are telling | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
me privately they think he should stand down too to prevent a | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
right-wing takeover. Jeremy Corbyn's left-wing | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
faith goes back decades. New members helped elect him | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
with far-left backing all hostile to most Labour MPs | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
and behind his loyal hard core support who are determined | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
he cut and won't give in. He absolutely has my support | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
and the support of the majority I think he's a man who's shown | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
immense courage and leadership this week as MPs have tried to take a | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
coup out against him. I believe he is the right man | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
to lead the Labour Party. Angela Eagle, a former | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
Shadow Cabinet Minister's ready But Owen Smith fancies | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
a challenge too. They are both holding back to decide | :19:25. | :19:34. | |
which one has the best chance And there's another reason | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
a challenge has been put on hold. Many MPs are becoming convinced | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
Jeremy Corbyn's determination to fight on may be | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
weakening under pressure. This morning, more than 500 Labour | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
councillors joined the chorus There's talk of his trade | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
union support softening. They say his base of support is | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
strong enough to see off all-comers. Boris Johnson came out on the | :19:56. | :20:03. | |
winning side in the referendum - but, today, he says he will not | :20:04. | :20:19. | |
be running for leader And still to come: Britain's top | :20:20. | :20:22. | |

in British military history, killing Many more sustained injuries that | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
had never been seen before on such a scale and returned home | :21:04. | :21:10. | |

to a former army captain who lost both legs in Afghanistan about how | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
different life is for injured The 31-year-old, who stepped | :21:20. | :21:23. | |

to go to the Paralympics and win His great grandfather served | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
in World War I, rescuing injured I think I would find it incredibly | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
difficult to even picture what it was that they went | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
through back in 1916, 1917, sitting in a trench filled | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
with mud and dead bodies, rats, It is very hard for me | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
to imagine just how 100 years ago, the horror of war | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
was compounded by the new weapons Tanks were deployed for the first | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
time at the Somme, and machine guns The result was the largest number | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
of casualties ever seen This was very high velocity | :22:14. | :22:22. | |
weaponry, large blast injuries, So at the very heart of it, | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
the wounds had changed. They were blowing great bits | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
out of people. Around 40,000 soldiers returned | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
home with missing limbs. For the first time, the medical | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
world had to come up with ways of getting large numbers | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
of amputees back into society. I can't imagine trying to go back | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
and do the things I'm doing now And I look at this leg, | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
and the only thing I could imagine The historical evidence | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
is that people tried it for five or six years, | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
and then really they went back home, or went into a Star and Garter home, | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
and simply weren't able to function. And suddenly doctors had to deal | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
with reconstructing the faces Many never overcame | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
the psychological impact They are called hospital blues | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
for the most obvious reasons. They are a suit that was issued | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
to pretty much all the military It came to be something that | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
but the public recognised, so that if out of the corner | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
of your eye you caught blue, you knew immediately | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
that there was somebody over there was a military casualties, | :23:36. | :23:37. | |
and that really increases A century later, as Dave Henson | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
prepares to compete on the world stage, that sense of isolation | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
is far from his reality. This is something that | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
has happened to me. I lost my legs, and there | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
is an interesting story behind it. I am very proud of what I have done, | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
and I'm so happy to share that with people and display that | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
in the form of these war wounds I keep on show more | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
less 99% of the time. That was former army captain, | :24:06. | :24:10. | |

military personnel to Iraq, almost doubling the number | :24:18. | :24:20. | |

will be based in the west of the country and take part | :24:26. | :24:28. | |

on the ivy-clad grandeur of Centre but don't forget | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
there is Court 2, too. It was here that a British | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
player excelled himself. Dan Evans overwhelming the number 13 | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
seed, Alexander Dolgopolov of Ukraine, completing | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
a straight sets victory. Into the third round, | :25:37. | :25:40. | |

and play him. It will be an amazing experience | :25:52. | :25:53. | |
and hopefully a good atmosphere. Plenty of empty seats | :25:54. | :25:56. | |

to ease past Yen-Hsun Lu. Here is a way to crush complacency | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
instantly. That is how you want | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
to hit a drop shot. Murray's serve broken in the very | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
first game of the match. In the furious back and forth, Lu | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
was only slightly less relentless. A mistake, a break and the first set | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
followed to Murray, 6-3. Murray had questioned his movement | :26:22. | :26:26. | |

now, Johanna Konta. Playing Buchard. It is going with serve so far. And | :26:59. | :27:00. | |
it's still dry. Time for a look at the weather. | :27:01. | :27:02. | |
Here's Alex Deakin. Dry today, largely at Wimbledon. Not | :27:03. | :27:12. | |
a first week where they've been worried about the ice-creams | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
melting. Throughout the month of the June, the statistics so far show | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
it's been a dull and a damp month. It has actually been slightly warmer | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
than average. Where has summer been? Hide in Shetland. Cracking weather | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
here over the past couple of weeks. We change month overnight tonight | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
but not really weather patterns. A soggy night for southern Scotland. | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
Northern England. A band of rain sinking southwards. Pretty much out | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
of the way by dawn. For many, a dry start to Friday. Potentially still | :27:45. | :27:49. | |
grey and damp across the south-east for a time in the morning. Slowly | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
brightening up. Sunny spells and showers get going. Heavy and | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
widespread, particularly over the northern half of the UK in the | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
afternoon. Not too many over south Wales, south-west England. Some | :28:03. | :28:06. | |
decent dry spells here. Should dry up in the London area for Wimbledon. | :28:07. | :28:12. | |
Sunny spells likely here. As we head north more and more showers. Heavy, | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
thundery, hail thrown in for good measure. There will be some sunshine | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
at times. But even when the sun's out temperatures struggling in the | :28:23. | :28:25. | |
low to mid-teens. Into the weekend, more of the same on Saturday. Sunny | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
spells. Largely dry start. Showers get going chiefly in northern | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
Britain. Perhaps a touch warmer. We could squeak up to 20 or 21 sells | :28:36. | :28:40. | |
crews. On Sunday, more cloud over the south. Maybe drizzly rain. | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
Further north not as many showers around on Sunday. There will still | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
be some fine weather around on Sunday. Never speck stack lateral | :28:49. | :28:53. | |
warm. As we head into the first part of the July staying cool and breezy. | :28:54. | :28:59. | |
Some summer sunshine but the weather never too far away. | :29:00. | :29:01. | |
