The duke and duchess of sussexs son, archie, is baptised at windsor castle, amid criticism for excluding the public. Personally i think they should have been a bit more access. Its a shame, everybody has come for the day and nobody gets to see them. Everybody has come for the day and nobody gets to see themlj everybody has come for the day and nobody gets to see them. I think they are entitled to their privacy. The organisers of the pride parade in london claim 1. 5 Million People have been on the streets of the capital. And the Murray Williams show is under way. The wimbledon dream team. Andy murray and Serena Williams on centre court. And at 11 30, well be taking an in depth look at the papers with our reviewers Yasmin Alibhai brown and joe twyman stay with us for that. Its been another day of frantic campaigning in the race to be the next Prime Minister, with borisjohnson and jeremy hunt meeting conservative Party Members in the latest of a series of events taking place around the country. Ballot papers have now been sent out to around 180,000 members with the result being announced in just over two weeks time. Todays events come as a bbc investigation has found that some members have received two ballot papers in the post. 0ur Political Correspondent ben wright reports. As political fights go, its a pretty friendly affair. The two contenders for number ten joshing with rival camps as they tour the country. It was nottingham this morning and another q a for the Party Faithful and then onto south wales for the second hustings of the day. Borisjohnson dropping in on barry island on his way to cardiff. Jeremy hunt running out of time to turn his self proclaimed status as underdog around. Get things wrong and there will be no conservative government, no brexit, maybe even no conservative party. But get it right, and we will deliver brexit, unite our party and unleash the potential of our amazing country. He and borisjohnson dont debate each other at these things, but they are both telling the tory faithful they would be prepared to leave the eu without a deal despite recent warnings from people like the chancellor about the economic impact. If we had to come out on wto terms, i really think that this country has the versatility and the creativity to get through it and prosper and thrive. At the moment, its impossible to measure what impact all these hustings are having on the minds of tory Party Members. They will decide who will be living here by the end of this month. Conservative activists have around a fortnight to cast their vote, but today it emerged that some of them have received more than one ballot paper. According to the tory party, it now has 180,000 members, but the bbc has learned that at least 1000 of them have received two ballot papers in the post. Some, for instance, were based in more than one constituency and had joined separate local parties. Others had changed their name. Obviously there is an issue here, i accept that. But rather than get bogged down in the process, the truth is that even in a general election, people are registered in different areas. Electoral law doesnt apply to this contest, but the tory party says anyone caught voting twice would be expelled. Well, its made very clear on the ballot paper that you are only allowed to vote once, and i expect conservative members to follow that. As the Campaign Rolls on, the candidates pitches are now very familiar to tory Party Members who are picking the next Prime Minister, and the onus is on them not to break the partys own election rules. Ben wright, bbc news. The former head of m16 has told the bbc that the uk is going through a political nervous breakdown. Sirjohn sawers has said the country could have a Prime Minister who doesnt have the standing to be leader. He was critical of both the conservatives and labour. Its been reported that metropolitan Police Detectives have questioned the american Actor Kevin Spacey over allegations of Sexual Assault in the uk. According to variety magazine, officers travelled to the United States in may, where the oscar winning actor was interviewed under caution but not arrested. The allegations, mr spacey denies, relate to the period between 1996 and 2013. Officials in Southern California are warning of potentially dangerous aftershocks following the states biggest earthquake in 20 years. The 7. 1 magnitude tremor struck near the city of ridgecrest about 150 miles north east of los angeles. This report from sophie long contains some flashing images. Oh, my god. It created waves in family swimming pools and in communities across Southern California. Oh, my god. Two earthquakes in two days spread panic. It continues to. This is a very strong earthquake. The tremor so strong. We are experiencing very strong shaking. Even some who did not feel it, watched it. We will be back after this. Wow. Business owners looked on as potential profits were shaken from shelves and crashed to the ground. We felt around ten or 11 after shocks. Theyve been coming pretty frequently and each one, they are still scary, because you almost dont know, is this going to be a full earthquake . That the epicentre was near the desert town of ridgecrest may have prevented immediate fatalities. Oh, my gosh. But landslides littered roads with new danger. No serious injuries have been reported but broken gas pipes caused fires that engulfed homes in flames, left thousands without power and fear this is not yet over. Its just devastating. As people assess the damage, they brace themselves for more. The largest earthquake in california for 20 years, a stark reminder that millions here are living along a fault line that could claim many lives at any time. Sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. 0ur correspondent peter bowes is in los angeles and gave us this update. This is earthquake country. It is living up to its name but this is a story of dodging the bullet. As we have just heard, it is amazing that no one was seriously hurt. All the buildings are still standing. There is some considerable structural damage and an assessment of that damage and an assessment of that damage is still going on and will go on for quite some time. But the fact that no one has been seriously hurt ina 7. 1 that no one has been seriously hurt in a 7. 1 magnitude quake is quite extraordinary. Im hundred and 15 miles away, i felt it in los angeles. Pictures were falling in my house, you can only imagine what it was like to be to be near the epicentre. It was as wide as nevada, palm springs and los angeles and as we have just heard, Beverly Hills and hollywood. It could have been far worse, these people are extremely lucky today. When you look at the after effects of it and, trying to get things back on track again, how do they come across to you . Are again, how do they come across to you . Are people just again, how do they come across to you . Are peoplejust used again, how do they come across to you . Are people just used to again, how do they come across to you . Are peoplejust used to it . Do they feel as if they were prepared enough . In a sense, people in california are never prepared enough and this, when we have events like this, it serves as a reminder of what might be to come and there is a lwa ys what might be to come and there is always potentially worse to come and we have heard they will be many after shocks. There is about a 4 chance of an even bigger quake than 7. 1 in the coming days. Certainly, you will feel the after shocks for months and possibly years to come but in the back of people s minds, a lwa ys but in the back of people s minds, always the fact that, the big one, as it is known, could strike at any time. Most likely on the San Andreas Fault line, a completely different one that is affected by this quake. Major cities could see widespread damage and potentially many deaths. Police are investigating an explosion at a Shopping Mall in florida in which more than one dozen people are reported to have been injured. The explosion happened at 11 30 local time west of Fort Lauderdale in the city of plantation. The blast sent large pieces of debris across nearby streets. The local fire chief said they had not yet confirmed the cause and source of the explosion but that ruptured gas lines were found in the rubble. The duke and duchess of sussex have released two photographs to mark the christening of their baby boy. Archie harrison mountbatten windsor was baptised by the archbishop of canterbury in front of Close Friends and family in a private ceremony at windsor castle. Heres our royal correspondent nick witchell. So, here it is, the photographic record of a private family christening at windsor castle. And there he is, Archie Harrison mountbatten windsor, two months old now, in the clearest image we have seen of him. Sitting on his mothers lap in a replica of the royal christening robe, with his immediate family around him. In the row behind the sussexes, meghans mother doria ragland, and diana princess of waless sisters Jane Fellowes and sarah mccorquodale. A second black and white photograph was also issued showing archie with his parents. In the words of a statement, the couple were happy to share the joy of the day with members of the public. However, the sharing was limited, at the couples insistence. Despite all the perks that go with the job, harry and meghan want archie to have as private life as possible. It has irritated some who say a publicly funded monarchy and royal family should be accessible. We want to see them together, meeting the people, in Great Britain and of course around the world. I think it is a private thing with the family, but it would be nice if they were to come out afterwards and maybe show the public that the baby has been christened. Archie mountbatten windsor on the day of his christening, oblivious to the kind of debate that is part and parcel of being royal. Nicholas witchell, bbc news. New legislation in england and wales could see murderers who refuse to reveal the location of their victims bodies spend longer in prison. Helens law follows a campaign by the mother of helen mccourt, who was killed 31 years ago, but whose body has never been found. Dan johnson reports. For marie mccourt, the grief of more than 30 years has been compounded by the added pain of being unable to bury her daughter. Helen was 22 when she disappeared. She was murdered by ian simms, a pub landlord who is still serving a life sentence and refuses to say what he did with helens body. Marie took her campaign to downing street, calling for helens law to prevent murderers like simms being eligible for early release. Now the justice secretary has agreed to the change across england and wales. To have this law means that other families will not have to hopefully go through the pain and grief for as long as i have. I believe that these killers now have to face up to what they have done, because to take a life is horrendous, but then to take the lives of the family of that loved one and not let them know where their loved ones body is, there is no torture worse than that. The parole board can already use withholding information as a reason not to release a prisoner because it may suggest they are still a risk to the public, but it is optional. Now, helens law changes that. It makes factoring it in a legal requirement. The hope is this move will help address criticism of the parole system and rebuild trust. This is one element of trying to restore confidence, by making it mandatory, in effect, for them to take account of this particular issue. There are lots of issues with the criminaljustice system and it is people like marie who identify what they are and campaign for them that will change the system. This is maries weekly ritual in memory of helen. Its this ongoing anguish the ministry ofjustice says it is acting to recognise, on behalf of families denied the chance to lay their loved ones to rest. Dan johnson, bbc news. Britains biggest ever pride has been taking place in london with an allsinging, all dancing carnival of colour. 0rganisers say up to 1. 5 Million People attended. This years event celebrated 50 years since the first stonewall uprising in new york where a series of violent confrontations took place between police and gay rights activists. Heres our lgbt correspondent ben hunte. And just a warning this report contains some flashing images. Politics, protest and one big party. Pride came to london today and for many here, it was a saturday like no other. This is believed to be the countrys biggest pride event ever with diversity the central theme. Its an opportunity for us to stand in solidarity and show that no matter what race, religion, sexuality, we belong, we are londoners, we have a place here. Everyone is equal. Everyone can be whatever they want to be, whatever they do, its up to them, and i think its really important for, straight, gay, transgender, whatever it is, to come out and support. More than 30,000 people from across the Lgbtq Community have marched through the streets today. Theyve come from over 600 organisations and corporations with many of them marching for the very first time. 0rganisers estimate that more than 1. 5 Million People were on the streets of the capital to watch the parade today. With homophobic and transphobic attacks on the increase across the uk, some activists had called for this years flagship pride event to return to its roots as a protest. Whilst were living in a time when theres so much polarising and toxic debate over our trans siblings, we always have to go back to our history, our herstory and our theirstory. However, for many of the attendees we spoke to today, they were just grateful to have the opportunity to be so visible and so proud. Ben hunte, bbc news. Its 11 15. The headlines on bbc news conservatives are warned theyll be expelled from the tory party if they vote more than once in the leadership election as the bbc learns that some had received multiple ballot papers. California braces itself for aftershocks after the most powerful earthquake to hit the state in 20 years. The duke and duchess of sussexs son has been christened at windsor castle.

Good evening. The british number onejohanna konta has made it through the second week at wimbledon for only the second time. But andy murray was knocked out of the mens doubles today. He did have better luck with his new partner in the mixed. From the all england club, heres our Sports Correspondent natalie pirks. Time flies when youre having fun. And when the partnership dubbed serandy finally got on centre court. Applause. It was guaranteed box office. The smiles kept coming as the Partnership Began to flourish, though it wasnt always faultless. Commentator serena, get up laughter. With the first set in the bag, they turned on the style to make murrays first return to centre court in two years a successful one. After he lost his mens double match earlier, this pair were feeling the love. Whos the boss in this pairing . Well, were a team. Theres no i in team. We were saying before the match, were both the youngest sibling, so were used to being bossed by our older brother and sister, so were sort of taking it in turns, i guess. Johanna konta came through three sets against Sloane Stephens to make week two, but in an epic 5 setter, Britains Dan Evans was so close to joining her. Instead, joao sousa is portugals first player in history to reach the last 16 and will play rafa nadal. Wimbledon is still loco about coco gauff, but today, the teenager and partnerjay clarke had no answer for their opponents lindstedt and 0stapenko in the mixed doubles. Shes got biggerfish to fry next week, though. And from the youngest to the greatest, Roger Federer now the first player in singles history to record 350 grand slam match wins. No sweat. Natalie pirks, bbc news, wimbledon. England have lost to sweden in their Third Fourth Place play off match at the womens world cup. Sweden started much faster, Kosovare Asllani giving them an early lead. Sofia jakobsson then made it 2 0 with just 22 minutes on the clock. But england werent going down without a fight, fran kirby bringing the lionesses back into the match. Minutes later, ellen white thought shed levelled things up, but var was once again on hand to question her. It appeared to be a handball, and once again, she was denied a goal for the second time in four days. 2 1 the final score. It is good we didnt win it, that sounds disrespectful and horrible, but if we won, we would have celebrated. But if we really want to go to the olympics and and win it, i think we have the fire in our belly and disappointment and is not a disrespect to sweden, they did fantastic and they beat us today. We have given everything this tournament. We have played seven games in the last few weeks. I am dead on my feet. It is tough manually and physically. I think we showed some great resilience, in the second half we gave it everything we possibly could. Well done to sweden. We know how much it means to win a bronze medal so i am sure they will enjoy the light as well. Englands cricketers will have a chance to avenge their defeat against australia in the world cup as the two teams will meet in the semifinals next thursday.

Britain will play serbia in the third place game tomorrow. Thats all the sport for now. Thank you so much. Work to protect a Lake District beauty spot from flooding is finally complete after more than three years. Glenridding was badly hit during storm desmond in 2015, flooding twice in a matter of days. Since then, works been ongoing to repair damage and protect the community. £1. 2 million has been spent on the flood management system. Now its finally finished, theres plenty of relief, but also frustration, as Megan Paterson reports. It is a landscape which inspired wordsworth and countless others since. Glenridding on the shores of ullswater is a Lake Districtjewel. The tranquillity of today a stark contrast to the chaos of december 2015. Obviously very scary, especially for the poor souls that live on this stretch of the village. And the feeling of helplessness, as well, especially at the start, because we were cut off for two days. So, when the rain comes in off those fells, those steep fells, it comes down with some force, and it washes notjust water down, but all of these rocks that you can see here. So, to see it now, and weve got this great new green space, its superb. However, it doesnt take a lot of rainfall to get this to back to rise. For much of the last three years, this pretty village has been a building site. Tonnes of silt and gravel to shift, walls to build higher, drainage to improve. Prevention the main focus. The main problem was gravel coming down the system and blocking the channel. What we do have now is weve improved the gauging systems, so the way we monitor the river levels. Weve also installed a camera down by the bridge, so that from our incident room, we can monitor how the river is behaving, making sure that the bridge is clear of debris, so that we can keep water moving through the system rather than coming out of its banks, and then into peoples properties. The Community Came together in the aftermath to mop up and clean out. Alans had a business here for 37 years. Like many, hes been left frustrated by the speed of the work. Devastating. To see your business and your livelihood sail off down the road in the water. The period of time it took to do, i cant believe it took three years. Three years why has it taken three years to do this . The challenge of working in a river environment, yes, there is always an opportunity to try and make things faster, we wanted to make sure that the scheme that we left the community in was as good as it could possibly be and blended in with the community in the longer term. As the Climate Changes, so too will the landscape. This community, like many others, hopeful it can manage those changes and limit the devastating impact of future flooding. Megan patterson, bbc news. 0rkneys archaeological treasures are of global significance, but their World Heritage status could soon be under threat because of Climate Change. Experts say rising seas and higher rainfall mean popular sites like the ancient village of skara brae are extremely vulnerable. James cook reports from 0rkney. Skara brae is important to me because its part of 0rkneys history. They taught us about skara brae at school and it was really interesting to learn about. It brings a lot of people into orkney and into the surrounding areas, and personally, for me, i had a lot of great experiences there when i was younger. It generates a lot of interest from which everybody benefits. Everywhere you go in 0rkney, you meet history. But now, that history is under threat. Skara brae is onlyjust clinging on. For years, ewan hyslop has been watching nervously as the sea advances on the village. This has been here for, what, 5,000 years . Is there really that severe a threat from the way the climates just changing in the last few years . The threat here is very real, in terms of the survival of this site. The global projections for Sea Level Rise are quite astonishing, and that by the end of this century, by 2100, sea level around most of the planet could be one metre higher than it is now. If these defences were not here, what would have happened to the site . If these defences were not here, we certainly would have lost parts of the site and possibly up to two thirds of the site would have gone. Two thirds of skara brae would have been washed away . Yeah, yeah, so, these defences are absolutely essential. And its notjust skara brae. Access to the ancient ring of brodgar is also threatened by Climate Change say conservationists. The treasures of 0rkney have weathered the elements for thousands of years, and so its tempting to think of them as robust, but Scientists Say theyre actually more fragile than that, and they are now extremely vulnerable to the effects of Climate Change. But there is some good news. This report also finds the community here is tough enough to respond to the challenge. The photo was taken in about 1962. I was part of a family very interested in 0rkneys history. This building here is different. Its not a house because it doesnt have beds in it. Patricia long has been intrigued by 0rkneys heritage since she was a little girl. She is now a tourist guide and she exemplifies that 0rcadian resilience. I mean, weve always had the climate to contend with. Its an unpredictable factor. But the fascinating thing about the social history here is how we take what is the next thing and make the most of that when it moves on, whether it is the herring shoals moving on or the end of the warrants will be look at the next thing. Now, its renewable energy. This is the Main Business in the world for wind power and wave and tide power to be tested. So, we just make the most of whats come along and deal with events. So, there are grounds for optimism. After all, 0rkneys been adapting to the climate for thousands of years and 0rcadians say this time too, their Island Heritage will endure. James cook, bbc news. Dont forget well be taking an in depth look at the papers with our reviewersjoe twyman, director of deltapoll and the author and journalist Yasmin Alibhai brown. Thats coming up after the headlines at 11 30. Now its time for a look at the weather with helen. Not a bad start of the weekend for many if you like dry weather. We have had cloud in the south and it has felt quite sultry. This is a nice view looking over conwy as you can see, looking up to the can see, looking up to nice view looking over conwy as you can see, looking up to the irish sea. Very different sort of big when you see the cloud early in the day. We still have some warmth. Mostly the high teens behind it. Just a chilly 11 without north westerly blowing across 0rkney and the north of scotla nd blowing across 0rkney and the north of scotland which will continue through the night. Wind blowing a few showers into the north east of scotland. A weather front in the south, still quite warm for sleeping. The vast majority it is a fresher night. We could see misty lowe cloud around the irish sea coast. A weather front is responsible, and just dragging its heels, slow to clear. We will see sunshine coming through, lots of it in fact. Just a few showers for the north east of scotland, perhaps developing across the Lake District, the odd heavy one in the afternoon. The exception of the rule is for most of us have most long spells of sunshine, it will be pleasantly warm. Not the heat we have seen in leon. Some heat sparking intense thunderstorms as well. It should be dry. We have lost that heat across the uk by the time we get to monday morning. A really chilly night. Maybe a touch of grass frost come monday morning, and freshened up in the south as well. We have then lost oui the south as well. We have then lost our weather front. The high the south as well. We have then lost our weatherfront. The High Pressure with us to start the week, quite promising, but then we are due some rain and we will see more
