:02:08. > :02:10.as Conservative MPs whittled down the list to two women in the final

:02:14. > :02:16.Theresa May, the Home Secretary, was the overwhelming
:02:17. > :02:21.favourite among MPs, receiving 199 votes.
:02:22. > :02:24.The Energy Minister Andrea Leadsom received 84 votes and the Justice
:02:25. > :02:28.Secretary Michael Gove gained the support of 46 fellow MPs.
:02:29. > :02:31.So Mr Gove is now eliminated, and the Conservative Party
:02:32. > :02:35.membership of 150,000 people will now choose

:02:49. > :02:59.The march of Theresa May, striding easily onto the ticket. Miles ahead
:03:00. > :03:03.of both her rivals today. Her supporters already crying, "Prime
:03:04. > :03:07.Minister". She very well might be, soon. This vote shows that the
:03:08. > :03:12.Conservative Party can come together and under my dealership, it will. We
:03:13. > :03:15.need proven leadership, to negotiate the best deal for leaving the
:03:16. > :03:20.European Union to unite our party and our country and to make Britain
:03:21. > :03:25.a country that works not for the privileged few but for everyone. In
:03:26. > :03:33.the grand rooms of Westminster, the vote was clear. Andrea Leadsom, 84
:03:34. > :03:37.votes, Theresa May, 199 votes. Therefore Michael Gove, having the
:03:38. > :03:41.lowest number of votes, has been eliminated from the ballot. With
:03:42. > :03:45.Michael Gove out and the energy minister, Andrea Leadsom, training,
:03:46. > :03:50.Mrs May's supporters were delighted. Not quite waving on the steps of
:03:51. > :03:54.number ten yet but she has just won the very glaring horsemen of the
:03:55. > :03:59.majority of Tory MPs. Her backers hope her experience makes the clear
:04:00. > :04:03.favourite. She can truly say as we go to the country that she is the
:04:04. > :04:08.unity candidate. Were you surprised by how strong the result was? She
:04:09. > :04:12.got 165 earlier the week which was fantastic and overwhelming in itself
:04:13. > :04:15.but to go forward even further, cutting 200 is a clear indication of
:04:16. > :04:21.what parliamentarians think we need in our next Prime Minister. I can't
:04:22. > :04:26.hear you! But traditional Tories are excited by Andrea Leadsom, her
:04:27. > :04:32.rival. The Eurosceptic energy minister is far less experienced.
:04:33. > :04:35.Her colleagues need reassurance about our record but one wing of the
:04:36. > :04:39.party isn't easy as big enough to march along the river in an unusual
:04:40. > :04:46.show of Conservative support. What do we want? Lead is the leader. Went
:04:47. > :04:50.we wanted? Now. Before the referendum, she was hardly known.
:04:51. > :04:54.How difficult was it you decide to run? I feel, having played a part in
:04:55. > :04:58.showing this country the prospects for us outside of the EU, I just
:04:59. > :05:03.felt I needed to put myself forward to offer to lead the way through it
:05:04. > :05:07.because I really believe in it. But just a couple of days into the race,
:05:08. > :05:13.she's already been accused of changing her CV. I have not changed
:05:14. > :05:17.my CV. I have had 25 years in finance. I spent the best part of
:05:18. > :05:22.ten years in These are and Barclays and the best part of ten years in
:05:23. > :05:26.Invesco perpetual. I've also had a part-time job in Sainsbury is. I
:05:27. > :05:30.started life as a 14-year-old silver service waitress. You know, my CV is
:05:31. > :05:35.incredibly varied and it's all absolutely true. You know, I think
:05:36. > :05:39.this is ridiculous. But her backers think she can win over the Tory
:05:40. > :05:43.members who make the decision. I love the idea of two women battling
:05:44. > :05:47.it out, showing us exactly how politics can change for the better.
:05:48. > :05:51.Justice Secretary Michael Gove betrayed his friend Boris Johnson to
:05:52. > :05:54.run but crashed out today. I'm naturally disappointed I have not
:05:55. > :05:58.been able to make it through to the final round of this leadership
:05:59. > :06:02.contest. This is a moment Theresa May's team will treasure, or
:06:03. > :06:06.successful start to the race and they could have hoped but now MPs
:06:07. > :06:11.lose control the contest goes to the country. It is the Conservative
:06:12. > :06:12.Party, not Parliament, who makes the call. Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News,
:06:13. > :06:14.Westminster. So the contest to elect our next
:06:15. > :06:19.Prime Minister has begun, with ballot papers set to go out
:06:20. > :06:22.soon to Conservative Party members. Our special correspondent
:06:23. > :06:24.Ed Thomas is in Nantwich, which is part of a constituency held
:06:25. > :06:27.by the Tories and where the vote on EU membership reflected the UK
:06:28. > :06:41.result to Leave by a small margin. Nantwich, a Cheshire town with a
:06:42. > :06:45.conservative instinct. But here, like elsewhere, decisions that will
:06:46. > :06:50.shape a nation have to be made. This is a new opportunity. People like
:06:51. > :06:53.Carol and Janet, just two Conservative members who helped
:06:54. > :06:58.choose the next Prime Minister. One of the candidates in the digger, I
:06:59. > :07:02.would like to know more about. Who is that? Andrea Leadsom so I will be
:07:03. > :07:11.doing some homework before I make my decision. I'm for Mrs May, I love
:07:12. > :07:14.watches done in the last few years and I love her tenacity. I want some
:07:15. > :07:16.unity. This is not just about the Conservative Party. This is about a
:07:17. > :07:19.Prime Minister who will bring the country together. This time, I feel
:07:20. > :07:28.that the roles are reversed and it's now up to me. I can make a definite
:07:29. > :07:31.decision. So who Harvey 150,000? Experts say Conservative membership
:07:32. > :07:35.is mostly middle-class and over 50 but other voices are keen to be
:07:36. > :07:40.heard. Someone who can lead and unite the party. People like
:07:41. > :07:44.Jonathan, a student and Tory member since he was 14. There's a lot of
:07:45. > :07:48.deep division between old people and young people, rich and poor. Even
:07:49. > :07:52.within the party, MPs, young members, everyone is slightly
:07:53. > :07:58.divided. I want to be wowed by someone. Who does that at the
:07:59. > :08:03.moment? Nobody! There is a power in towns like Nantwich like never
:08:04. > :08:07.before. The voice of Conservative members here and elsewhere will be
:08:08. > :08:13.heard because they alone will choose the next British Prime Minister. A
:08:14. > :08:19.pretty resounding result. And now the faithful have a clear choice.
:08:20. > :08:23.Two women! Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom, the final two in the race
:08:24. > :08:26.to lead. I'm pleased, history has been made, we are going to have
:08:27. > :08:34.another female Prime Minister and it's remarkable, isn't it? Those
:08:35. > :08:36.Conservative members are still here, considering their choice before
:08:37. > :08:39.them. Some of the places you might recognise.
:08:40. > :08:44.Janet, you said you are undecided, is that still the case? It is, I'm
:08:45. > :08:47.delighted with the candidates we have but they have to win my vote
:08:48. > :08:50.and I'll be looking to see what they've got to offer. The important
:08:51. > :08:53.thing is we bring the country together now and make sure we move
:08:54. > :08:57.forward. The talk of unity comes back again and again but Carol, do
:08:58. > :09:01.you feel the sense of responsibility, but it is on your
:09:02. > :09:08.shoulders, not just to elect a leader but also the next Prime
:09:09. > :09:11.Minister? It's absolutely a huge responsibility but it is exciting,
:09:12. > :09:14.taking part in shaping the future for everyone. It is really good, not
:09:15. > :09:19.daunting at all. Thank you so much for talking to us. Soon the votes
:09:20. > :09:19.will be cast and the new leader will be chosen.
:09:20. > :09:21.Ed Thomas, there. Our political editor
:09:22. > :09:30.Laura Kuennsberg is in This was a key moment today but the
:09:31. > :09:33.contest now really begins. It does but you know, one set of results
:09:34. > :09:37.like today can change many things. The extent of Theresa May's victory
:09:38. > :09:42.over her rivals makes her the clear favourites to move into number ten.
:09:43. > :09:45.But you know, Andrea Leadsom, coming from someone who, even a couple of
:09:46. > :09:49.months ago around Westminster was not that well known, let alone
:09:50. > :09:59.around the rest of the country, to become a potential Prime Minister in
:10:00. > :10:02.a couple of months' time, that is quite an achievement and it makes it
:10:03. > :10:05.very likely that even if she does not win, she is somebody who is
:10:06. > :10:07.going to have a pretty major role in government, whatever happens in the
:10:08. > :10:10.contest. Michael Gove crashing out like that also suggests that we have
:10:11. > :10:12.seen today what one MP described to me as the brutal end of the Notting
:10:13. > :10:17.Hill Tories, that group who worked together to modernise the Tory
:10:18. > :10:22.party, who got David Cameron in charge in 2005 and then into number
:10:23. > :10:27.ten in 2010. But more than anything else, today means that the next
:10:28. > :10:31.Prime Minister will be a woman. Maybe that just shouldn't matter any
:10:32. > :10:34.more. It may well not matter to that many people but it is only the
:10:35. > :10:38.second time in our history that will have happened and that alone makes
:10:39. > :10:40.today a significant day. Laura, many thanks.

:18:19. > :18:21.France was priceless. Pretty gutted but obviously really,
:18:22. > :18:26.really proud of what they have done. It's been an absolutely
:18:27. > :18:31.amazing experience. It's the underdog story
:18:32. > :18:34.that everybody loves. Iceland, everybody backed them
:18:35. > :18:36.because they were the underdog and I think everybody has backed
:18:37. > :18:39.Wales for the same reason. In the biggest game in Welsh
:18:40. > :18:41.football history, they couldn't quite reach the same levels
:18:42. > :18:44.as Portugal but Wales' motto - stronger together - meant sticking
:18:45. > :18:48.together, win or lose. This tournament hasn't just
:18:49. > :18:53.swelled pride, it's swelled the coffers of Welsh football,
:18:54. > :18:56.too, for the first time netting If they keep improving,
:18:57. > :19:01.which I think they will, and with Chris in charge,
:19:02. > :19:03.I think they'll certainly qualify for the World Cup in Russia
:19:04. > :19:06.and then it's a case of how Wales may have tasted
:19:07. > :19:14.defeat here in Lyon, but there's been so much to savour
:19:15. > :19:17.about their time here in France. They've not only made history,
:19:18. > :19:19.they've offered real, But first, there's a party planned
:19:20. > :19:24.on the streets of Cardiff. Tomorrow tens of thousands
:19:25. > :19:29.are expected to cheer I think Cardiff tomorrow,
:19:30. > :19:34.it's going to be a proud day, There's going to be a lot
:19:35. > :19:38.of people in the city. It's just like Leicester City
:19:39. > :19:40.all over again. It will be great for everyone

:20:07. > :20:11.social media, the party has already started. In the last four weeks, the
:20:12. > :20:14.team's not only put Wales back on the international map, they've
:20:15. > :20:18.transcended some boundaries, brought the support of rugby supporters to
:20:19. > :20:21.football. Brought the support of people beyond Wales' boundaries and
:20:22. > :20:25.reminded everyone that football has the power to capture the imagination
:20:26. > :20:28.and put a smile back on people's faces.
:20:29. > :20:30.There've been more signs of the economic effects of the UK's
:20:31. > :20:35.Let's talk now to our Business Editor, Simon Jack.
:20:36. > :20:40.It's been two weeks since the boat. How is the economy reacting? It
:20:41. > :20:44.seems like a long time since the vote, a lot has happened but in
:20:45. > :20:48.economic terms it is pretty early days. Let's talk about what has
:20:49. > :20:53.happened. The pound has fallen in value by a lot, about 10% against
:20:54. > :20:57.the dollar and euro. So let's start with the good news. It means
:20:58. > :21:03.companies that earn their money in dollars or overseas are doing well.
:21:04. > :21:09.The BPs Shells and AstraZeneca. Their shares up are. BP for example,
:21:10. > :21:14.up 17%. On the other hand, people who have to spend money in overseas
:21:15. > :21:18.currencies, like airlines, the easyJets of this world, their shares
:21:19. > :21:20.are down. We have seen some anxiety around the commercial property
:21:21. > :21:23.market, people wanting to get their money out of that. A lot of people
:21:24. > :21:27.having to shut their funds, they want their money out now but they
:21:28. > :21:31.have to sell office blocks, but not easy to sell over a short period of
:21:32. > :21:35.time and house builders have been hammered and because house builders
:21:36. > :21:40.and property market has had some jitters, the banks have come in for
:21:41. > :21:43.a walloping so some exposure there. These are numbers on screens at the
:21:44. > :21:47.moment. We don't know about jobs, about how people are feeling.
:21:48. > :21:49.Tomorrow morning we'll get the first really authoritative consumer
:21:50. > :21:51.confidence figures, so keep an eye on those, they will be interesting
:21:52. > :21:56.to look at. Many thanks, Simon.
:21:57. > :21:58.A taxi-driver from Bradford who drove to Glasgow to kill
:21:59. > :22:01.a shop-keeper in a religiously motivated attack, has pleaded guilty
:22:02. > :22:05.Tanveer Ahmed admitted stabbing and beating Asad Shah,
:22:06. > :22:08.who was a member of a minority Muslim sect, in March this year.
:22:09. > :22:11.The judge at the High Court in Glasgow said it was
:22:12. > :22:17.Our Scotland Editor, Sarah Smith, reports.
:22:18. > :22:19.Asad Shah was a well-known and popular figure, murdered
:22:20. > :22:30.The local community staged an all-night vigil,
:22:31. > :22:35.shocked by this extremely brutal killing.
:22:36. > :22:37.The act itself was four minutes of extreme violence,
:22:38. > :22:41.the likes of which we have not seen before.
:22:42. > :22:44.This is an unique event in terms of where it has happened
:22:45. > :22:47.Tanveer Ahmed, a Sunni Muslim admits murdering Mr Shah.
:22:48. > :22:49.In the dock today, he watched impassively as the court
:22:50. > :22:55.was shown CCTV footage of a particularly vicious attack.
:22:56. > :22:57.Afterwards, he waited at the scene of the crime,
:22:58. > :23:02.immediately telling the police what he'd done.
:23:03. > :23:05.Mr Shah's brother had tried to fight off his attacker.
:23:06. > :23:07.I really don't have any message for that monster.
:23:08. > :23:10.He basically took away a person who was peaceful,
:23:11. > :23:15.who wanted unity in the world, who wanted the communities to unite,
:23:16. > :23:18.him harming someone of peace is literally, he is
:23:19. > :23:27.As they began their investigation, police said they believed the murder
:23:28. > :23:34.Immediately it was assumed that Asad Shah had been targeted
:23:35. > :23:36.because he was an Ahmadiyya Muslim - a minority, often
:23:37. > :23:43.The police no longer think that was the motive.
:23:44. > :23:55.Mr Shah frequently posted videos on social media, in which he appears
:23:56. > :23:58.in which he appears to be claiming to be a prophet and
:23:59. > :24:01.It appears to be those videos, recorded here at Shah's shop,
:24:02. > :24:03.not his Ahmadiyya faith that motivated Tanveer Ahmed.
:24:04. > :24:06.After watching the videos online, he drove here from Bradford,
:24:07. > :24:09.Telling police afterwards he believed Shah had
:24:10. > :24:20.People of all faiths and none came together to mourn Asad Shah,
:24:21. > :24:22.rejecting religious motivations for any violence and especially
:24:23. > :24:32.for what the judge today called "a despicable crime."
:24:33. > :24:35.There's a major search going on for a lynx that's escaped
:24:36. > :24:41.The wild cat chewed through boards in his enclosure
:24:42. > :24:44.just hours after he was transferred to his new home from
:24:45. > :24:48.Members of the public are being urged to call 999
:24:49. > :24:56.It was ladies' semi-final day today at Wimbledon.
:24:57. > :25:00.Joe Wilson is at the All England Club for us.
:25:01. > :25:07.Well, Rita, you know things do change here for women wi. For
:25:08. > :25:10.example, today the first-ever single wheelchair tournament has got under
:25:11. > :25:17.way but how familiar to see one family dominating Centre Court.
:25:18. > :25:19.It is hard for today's Wimbledon visitors to remember,
:25:20. > :25:22.but there was a time here before Williams.
:25:23. > :25:25.There was a time when they were just two girls in Los Angeles,
:25:26. > :25:31.Since Venus' first Wimbledon triumph, 16 years ago,
:25:32. > :25:38.the Williams sisters have not simply transformed tennis,
:25:39. > :25:52.Her semifinal was a kind of mismatch which has puntucation her career.
:25:53. > :25:55.Opponent Elena Visnina was way out of her depth.
:25:56. > :25:57.The only tension was if the whole thing would last
:25:58. > :26:09.Venus Williams has learned to take nothing for granted.
:26:10. > :26:11.At 36, she's battled her own ill-health as well as a new
:26:12. > :26:15.Angelique Kerber on the other side of the net here.
:26:16. > :26:18.To be in another semifinal was a feat for Venus but Kerber,
:26:19. > :26:22.the current Australian Open champion was just better.
:26:23. > :26:29.Well, Kerber verses Serena in the final could be a belter
:26:30. > :26:31.but we may well wonder what would tennis be
:26:32. > :26:33.without the Williams sisters and as they prepare to
:26:34. > :26:41.play doubles here, just what would they do without tennis?
:26:42. > :26:54.Some sunshine and rain over the next few days. Today we had lovely
:26:55. > :26:57.sunshine in Dundee. Quite a bit warmer actually today than it was
:26:58. > :27:01.yesterday. It wasn't the story everywhere, though. There were some
:27:02. > :27:04.areas of thicker cloud, not too clever in Bristol where it was
:27:05. > :27:09.somewhat cooler. Both locations will actually get rain later tonight.
:27:10. > :27:11.Here is the bigger picture. We have thickening cloud towards the
:27:12. > :27:16.north-west. This is the belt of cloud that has been affecting
:27:17. > :27:20.Bristol. It is on what is at the moment, a weak weather front. The
:27:21. > :27:23.rain will get its act together and we'll see rain pushing through the
:27:24. > :27:27.Bristol channel, Wales, Midlands through the night. Heavy rain, too.
:27:28. > :27:30.Further north, cloud bringing heavier rain for Northern Ireland
:27:31. > :27:33.and Scotland. A wet start for eastern areas in particular but
:27:34. > :27:37.moving through quickly, exiting out into the North Sea and so into the
:27:38. > :27:41.afternoon it looks much drier, brighter but for one or two showers,
:27:42. > :27:45.most places dry with sunshine. Those temperatures nothing to right home
:27:46. > :27:49.about, 19 or 20 not too bad. Could get 23 at Wimbledon after morning
:27:50. > :27:52.rain or drizzle but there is more wet and possibly windier weather
:27:53. > :27:56.arriving in from the Atlantic. This area of low pressure is steaming our
:27:57. > :28:00.way. So we'll see the winds picking up on Saturday and there will be
:28:01. > :28:06.some more rain, too, pushing northwards across Scotland. Drier
:28:07. > :28:09.for Northern Ireland and we have heavier rain moving northwards
:28:10. > :28:12.across England and Wales as well. Drier, if rather cloudier conditions
:28:13. > :28:17.across southern England and East Anglia. Here warm and humid air it
:28:18. > :28:21.start the weekend so temperatures could get into the mid-20s even with
:28:22. > :28:25.cloud. Elsewhere 20 typically. Could be a touch warmer in Belfast with
:28:26. > :28:29.some sunshine here but cooler for Belfast on Sunday. We have some
:28:30. > :28:32.showers and longer spells of rain and likewise across Scotland,
:28:33. > :28:34.especially in the west. For England and Wales, sunshine and a few
:28:35. > :28:38.showers on a blustery wind.
