The us open. He is hardly a household name but he has had and is interesting journey. And matt taylor . If you are fed up of rain, more downpours to come, particularly for Eastern England tomorrow night. Where is the summer . I will tell you more in the next half an hour. Also coming up can you have a naughty corner in the oval office . It isa it is a fantastic financial statement. Lets do that over, he is coughing in the middle of my answer, i dont like that. If you get a cough, please leave the room. His views on germs are well known. Well tell you how the president reacted to that cough, during a television interview. Hello, everyone, this is afternoon live, im simon mccoy. Boris johnsons campaign to become conservative leader and Prime Minister received a boost this morning with the endorsement of the Health Secretary, matt hancock, who said mrjohnson was best placed to re unite the fractured party. Matt hancock dropped out of the race last week. He made his announcement after the first televised debate between five of the six contenders last night on channel 4 borisjohnson had refused to take part. This lunchtime, the candidates, again without mrjohnson, are taking part in a hustings in westminster. Heres our Political Correspondentjessica parker. He is not always been the silent type. Are you hiding from media scrutiny . But borisjohnson had little to say this morning at nothing to say last night. He didnt turn up to channel 4s leadership debate. But even so, he secured the backing the Health Secretary matt hancock who pulled out of the race last week, a boost for Boris Johnson and a blow for others. Disappointing naturally, im a huge fan of matt. But candidates are ploughing on with their pitch. At the moment of course it is the case boris is the front runner but we need to make sure that he is tested and that we have two candidates who go forward, if boris is one of them, who we know are capable of being Prime Ministerfrom day one. Only two candidates can face that final vote of the conservative Party Membership and because of borisjohnsons dominance so far, other contenders are trying to suggest that theyre the best person to give borisjohnson a run for his money. But time is running out to make that case. The second round of voting among tory mps takes place tomorrow. This candidate says he is calling his rivals bluff, rory stewart unlike other contenders, doesnt claim that a better deal can be wangled out of the eu. We all agree we want to get brexit done as quickly as possible and the question is how. The challenge with what boris is presenting is hesjust saying im going to get it done and not explaining how that will work in parliament, how that will work in europe. A lot of focus will fall on the front runner, including scrutiny on how they will keep the public purse trim. One rory stewart backer says borisjohnsons policy pledges are looking costly. Well, ijust think that every monday when boris writes his column he makes another pledge for a lot of money, either a tax cut or a spending pledge, and the question that all politicians have to answer is where is the money coming from . Six candidates remain in the running in total, and at least one will be knocked out tomorrow. They are all hoping to succeed theresa may, who visiting a school today, was studious in giving little away. I am not backing a particular candidate, i havent endorsed a particular candidate, i havent told anybody who i did. I did vote last thursday, i havent told anybody who i voted for and im not going to. Boris johnson arriving in westminster. He will go up before a private hustings of tory mps today and he is expected to take part in the bbcs tv debate tomorrow night. He might be in the back seat but he is still leading the pack. Jessica parker, bbc news. Lets speak to our chief Political Correspondent vicki young. Lets talk about matt hancock. A friend of Michael Goves but perhaps he thinks there is only one stand winner in this contest. He wrote an article saying that, that he feels borisjohnson has article saying that, that he feels Boris Johnson has got article saying that, that he feels borisjohnson has got so many mpss endorsement that he will be on that final ballot going to Party Members and we know from polling of them that they are very much in favour of borisjohnson that they are very much in favour of Boris Johnson and likely that they are very much in favour of borisjohnson and likely to vote that they are very much in favour of Boris Johnson and likely to vote for him, so he is seen as the frontrunner and also a shrien and matt hancock saying he could wait five weeks and endorse him then or do it now. Some will say he wants a job, others will say he is doing it because he wants to make sure he has some influence because within the cabinet, there is not so many of the more Centre Ground conservatives, those who voted remain who are backing borisjohnson so this could be quite a good thing for Boris Johnson but would also mean matt hancock could be in an important position. The others really are scrapping for second place, who is going to challenge borisjohnson. The second round tomorrow. They have to get 33 votes and could see two or three of them dropping out. Some of Matt Hancocks backers have decided to get behind rory stewart. They feel that he if he is in that debate tomorrow, he will really give Boris Johnson a hard time and many tory mps want to see borisjohnson tested. Lets look at the labour party because we have got the deputies saying that labour hearts are remain but we dont know the leaders hard and where that is. Labour being criticised about sitting on the fence, some would say, as they try to keep the two sides, the two views in their party together. Constructive ambiguity being unclear, not really saying what they feel and of course that has been blamed for a poor performance in the european elections where labour came third behind the brexit party and the liberal democrats. Many labour mps talk about knocking on doors and told by members that they wouldnt be voting labour, they would be voting liberal democrat because of that clear message about another referendum. Tom watson has been trying to put pressure onJeremy Corbyn and he continued that today. European is who we are and who we have always been. Our members are remain. Our values are remain. Our hearts are remain. And we need our labour party to be true to who we are and be loud and proud in support of europe. Of course not all labour mps are in favour of a second referendum. It didnt pass any votes in parliament. Lets speak now to the labour mp john mann. You dont want another referendum. What do you make of tom watsons line there. He is saying that labour Party Members are remain as and the party should be clear about backing a second referendum on voting to stay in. The members may be but it is not the members who we nt be but it is not the members who went elections, it is the people, the voters and labour voters in labour held constituencies take a different view and toms entitled to change his mind because like me, he voted to have that referendum, like me he said he would honour the result, like me he stood on a manifesto, he had a lot more influence on the manifesto than i did which said we respect the result of the referendum. He has changed his mind but that will not persuade labour voters in the north for example. How many seats would it be . Even in those leaf seats, a lot of the people that voted to leave were not labour voters, they would have been conservative voters and ukip voters as well. The chair of your party said he felt there were left wing intellectuals sneering at people who voted to leave. Do you agree . He represents a seat like me in ourseat, a agree . He represents a seat like me in our seat, a very large majority of the labour voters voted to leave. In fact the stronger the labour area in my constituency, the higher the lead vote. Labour voters in the north who voted leave and if the labour party turns its back on those voters, as tom watson suggests, tom watson wont be deputy Prime Minister, Jeremy Corbyn wont be Prime Minister. If it is such a good idea, could i suggest to tom watson he tries it out in West Bromwich. He could call a full referendum in his owii could call a full referendum in his own constituency and test the water because his voters voted leave so he could see if he can persuade them. Lets have a West Bromwich referendum and perhaps a full postal vote would assist with the organisation, im sure he could raise the money. Let him test his theory. How does the labour party square this circle . In some seeds in the north labour voters voted leave but in other places others voted liberal democrat. The parties are devoted, that is a reality. Tom watson if he wanted to be more credible in this could be saying what tony blair is saying that in order to change the decision on the eu, to fundamentally change the approach on immigration. If he wants to change Labour Party Policy on immigration ina to change Labour Party Policy on immigration in a way in which the north of england will be a lot happier, that will be a good starting point. Then if he was actually with his remain allies to identify what the question would be which they still havent done. Three years of calling for a referendum and none of them has identified what the question should be. That would bea the question should be. That would be a second stage. But i still dont think that will persuade those vote rs think that will persuade those voters who under our democracy used their vote, the majority one, the majority voted to leave and a large majority voted to leave and a large majority of labour voters in the north, this is going to lose labour the next general election by a significant amount and i can tell this, some mps who have been speaking this morning and i am seeing private what they have said, who have never ever rebelled, ever, up who have never ever rebelled, ever, up in arms about this because they realise the reality on the ground. They talk to their own voters, they know that in the north, the midlands it is labour voters who voted leave and this will be catastrophic if there ever want to be a labour government. That is the dilemma that Jeremy Corbyn is dealing with. Tom watson is sure the party policy will change once we get to that Party Conference at the end of september, thatis conference at the end of september, that is just four or five weeks before we are due to leave the european union. Well, do you have any questions for the next Prime Minister .

Iran has warned that it will breach the limit on its stockpile of enriched uranium set under a 2015 nuclear deal unless European Countries step in to relieve the pressure of us economic sanctions. Tehran says it will surpass permitted levels in ten days time. Our Diplomatic CorrespondentJames Landale has more. The americans pulled out of this deal last year and the iranians warned last month, we might stop complying with our side of the deal and what they have announced today is that moment is imminent and next week, they will reach the upper limit of the amount of uranium, the nuclear feel and potentially create weapons grade uranium for missiles. They will pass the upper limit for that next week. This is a signal to say, please only run ons behalf do more to help iran get round the sanctions that are beginning to bite. It places the europeans in a quandary because they have to decide do they try to do more to help the economy in iran or do they say, iran has now reached this deal and so we are legally obliged to reimpose sanctions. I think what we have reached here is a moment where this is not the big moment where iran says we are back on the path to developing nuclear weapons, it is that moment where they are saying, we are that moment where they are saying, we a re really that moment where they are saying, we are really feeling the pinch and we are really feeling the pinch and we need to push back against the europeans and in the same way they have been pushing back allegedly in recent days, attacking the tankers, same to the americans, sanctions come at a cost and that is the distribution of oil. A day after nearly two Million People in hong kong took part in demonstrations against a bill to allow extraditions to mainland china, one of the leaders of the territorys Pro Democracy Movement has been released from prison.

They marched through the night calling on the government of carrie lam to abandon the controversial china extradition bill rather than postpone it. But as the hours passed the numbers were dwindling. Enterjoshua wong, student leader and agitator, with a spectacular piece of timing was released from prison after serving a sentence for Unlawful Assembly and the failed 2014 Umbrella Movement democracy push. Hong kong people will not be silenced under the suppression of president xi and the chief executive carrie lam. Carrie lam must step down. How will the movement get her to resign . What will you do next . What hong kong people asked for is to totally withdraw the extradition law amendment, and i hope people are aware that now there is a new fight. He was soon with demonstrators preparing to march on carrie lams office. Hong kongs leader has apologised for her governments handling of this proposal to allow for extradition to mainland chinese courts where opposition groups say a fair trial isnt possible. The apology hasnt quelled animosity. Every time this movement seems to be running out of energy, Something Else comes along and re invigorates it. The problem for the government in hong kong and also in beijing is that they are now speaking about broader concerns. They are calling for democracy again and ways in which freedom more generally should be defended in hong kong. However, their immediate target is hong kong leader carrie lam. I dont think she will step down immediately. Its kind of personal now, i can tell you that. Doesnt matter how long it takes . Days, weeks, months . Whatever it takes, yeah. These protests may taper off at least for a time, but in the long run it is hard to see an easy way for tensions here to dissipate given the ill will that has built up in recent times.
