Hello, youre watching afternoon live im simon mccoy. After repeated accusations of avoiding media interviews, the frontrunner for the conservative leadership and Prime Minister, borisjohnson, has made a series of broadcast appearances, setting out his ideas, including on brexit. Mrjohnson made an unequivocal pledge to take the uk out of the eu by october 31st, in his words, come what may, do or die. He continued to maintain his silence on his private life, which has come under scrutiny. Its been revealed that the winner of the leadership race will be announced onjuly the 23rd. Our Political CorrespondentJessica Parker reports. Critics say he has kept us in the dark about his brexit plan but Boris Johnson is taking a few more steps into the media spotlight in an interview with the bbc, a concession. He cant get the brexit he wants without goodwill from brussels. It is notjust up to us, its up to the other side as well and there is an element of mutuality and there is an element of mutuality and cooperation in this. And we will be working with our friends and partners to make sure that we have an outcome that is manifestly in the interests of people, of businesses, communities on both sides. He told talk radio that brags it has to happen by the end of october. We will be pushing a plan into action. We will be ready to come out on october the 31st. Come what may . Do oi october the 31st. Come what may . Do or die. October the 31st. Come what may . Do ordie. On lbc october the 31st. Come what may . Do or die. On lbc he said the tories are not tight spot. We are staring down the barrel of defeat. Every tory understands that. Boris wants to leave in october 31 with and without an agreement and getan with and without an agreement and get an implementation period so there is tariff free trade. And solve the irish border issue after we have left using technology. One of the other conservative leadership candidates emerging plan. Jeremy hunt knows there are obstacles in the way. He also wants to renegotiate but is not as set on the toba deadline. With the right person there you have the best chance. How does your plan differ from mr johnson . They sound quite similar. The plan may be similar, the person is not. Barroso said that renegotiating Withdrawal Agreement is not an option. That is not stopping anyone in their tracks. Both contenders claim can get a better deal out of the eu. Mike brussels has said. It is the politics of faith. There is also trust. Arriving at a radio studio borisjohnson may trust. Arriving at a radio studio Boris Johnson may be trust. Arriving at a radio studio borisjohnson may be doing more interviews but is keeping the door closed when discussing the headlines around his private life. Jeremy hunt supporters says the frontrunner needs to front up more. He does not have to answer questions on his private life but i would like to see him answer questions and a lot of other things. For instance in the debate sky has scheduled for tonight. I would like to see much more rigorous questioning of what his plans are for taking the uk out of the eu. My conservative members are reflecting on who they want. Whilst Boris Johnson members are reflecting on who they want. Whilst borisjohnson is still seen ahead in this race all sorts of things go on in westminster and this campaign has already flagged up some unexpected moments. Our chief Political Correspondent vicki young is in surrey for us. He is giving interview after interview. It seems the strategy has com pletely interview. It seems the strategy has completely changed. His team told me that weekend the first half of this contest was getting tory mps buying them so we could get on the ballot paper and be one of the last two. That is what he has been focusing on, taking questions but behind closed doors with tory mps. Now he has succeeded in doing that the state is different and he will engage notjust with tory members but here he went round the gardens and spoke to lots of members of the public. Im not saying they were remotely difficult audience. We are a true blue part of surrey and the constituency where the local tory mp has a majority of more than 20000 and he got a very positive reception from everyone he spoke to here including schoolchildren. I think the strategy is to get him out doing the strategy is to get him out doing the kind of thing he has always done. He was looking much more relaxed, taking questions but not so much about his private life. I did ask and when he arrived here about his approach to europe and about brexit and why he thought that he could make a difference where theresa may has not managed to do that over the last three years. Mr johnson, why do you think the eu will do what you want them to . Because i think there is a massive opportunity now to get this thing done and put it to bed and a low the country to go forward. I think there will be goodwill on both sides. Country to go forward. I think there will be goodwill on both sidesm does feel a little as if we were going back to the arguments we were having two or three years ago about how the uk approaches the whole issue of brexit. What mrjohnson seems to be saying is if we are serious about no deal and if we prepare properly for no deal, keep back some of that £39 billion, that will persuade the eu to take it seriously and change things. To carry on with the same trading relationship we have no, although of course no one thinks the eu will do that. It does feel a bit as if he is saying im a different personality and was a bit of optimism may be i can get something different. But it is absolutely not guaranteed. Lets talk about the release of the photograph yesterday. He was asked 26 times on lbc today when it came from and when it was taken and he wouldnt answer. There has been a big discussion after what happened last week when police were cold to the flat he shares with his girlfriend. Lots of questions which he has refused to answer and says he doesnt answer questions about his personal life and does not want to drag his family and loved ones into it. But then suddenly this photograph appeared in was on the front page of lots of newspapers. There has been a lot of discussion about when it mightve been taken and who took it and people looking very closely at his haircut saying the heroes much longer in the photo and it is not a new photo. He simply wa nts a and it is not a new photo. He simply wants a when it was taken and who it was taken by and whether by releasing that he is breaking his own rule by bringing people into the public domain. He wouldnt answer any of that. Interestingly as he went round the garden see there were some comments from people, not aggressive comments, but one couple came up and said we are conservatives and we will vote for you but just stop conservatives and we will vote for you butjust stop the arguing. One thing we know about the man who would like to be premised on his likes making buses out of cardboard. This is another little detail that has emerged today. It was the interview with talk radio when asked what he does to relax. He said how he likes to make things and paint things and paint cardboard boxes and seems to make buses where he paints passengers enjoying themselves so something new every day. We will be playing that clip at half past. The hillsborough match commander David Duckenfield will face a retrial on a charge of the gross negligence manslaughter of 95 liverpool fans, who died in a crush at the fa cup semifinal in sheffield in 1989. A jury was unable to reach a verdict at a trial earlier this year. The judge ruled another trial will take place in october. Judith moritz is at Preston Crown court. Fiona trott is in preston for us. Fiona, what reaction to todays news has there been from the families . The relatives today have told us they are pleased because this Legal Process is continuing. Some of the more here at Preston Crown court today and others were watching proceedings in a separate building in liverpool. Earlier we spoke to amy who lost her father at the Hillsborough Disaster when she was just five years old and give us this reaction to the decision of the judge. I think that is the right decision for notjust judge. I think that is the right decision for not just the families but the public as well. How stressful has it been . Extremely stressful has it been . Extremely stressful we have not been able to have any closures for several years later our lives are still on hold not only do we suffer as a family but the survivors are suffering and the next generation of our children are suffering because we cant tell them we have an outcome yet. The judge made his decision this morning. We cant broadcast the reasons are not how he made that decision but i can remind you of why we had this hearing at Preston Crown court. David duckenfield the former match commander faced 95 counts of gross negligence manslaughter and was on trial here earlier this year. There was no prosecution over the 96 victim who died later. Thejudy did not reach our verdict and their prosecution sought a retrial. David duckenfield and his team oppose that. He was not required to attend but as we now know he faces another trial in october. The annual review of royal spending has revealed that refurbishing the new home of meghan and harry the duke and duchess of sussex cost the public nearly £2. 5 million. The figures were published by Buckingham Palace. Our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell has the details. They chose windsor for their wedding, and when harry and meghan considered where they wanted to live, the focus once again was on this town, with its Long Association with royalty. They moved from Kensington Palace in Central London for a secluded residence known as frogmore cottage, hidden away close to windsor castle. What is revealed today is that it has cost £2. 11 million of public money to turn this cottage into a home fit for the duke and duchess of sussex. The officials here at the palace who control royal spending say it cost £2. 11 million to reconfigure the cottage because it was in fact five homes which had to be stripped out to become one single residence, and those Officials Say that whenever the sussexes wanted features in their cottage which went beyond the basic level of comfort, they paid for them themselves. On the broader question of royal finance, the figures show that what is known as the sovereign grant for 2018 19 amounted to £82. 2 million. That is the overall cost of the monarchy, minus things like security. Of that, very nearly £33 million was spent on the refurbishment of Buckingham Palace, the infrastructure of which is said to be in urgent need of repair. The figures give an insight into royal transport costs. For example, the visit last year by the queen and the duchess of sussex to cheshire by royal train and charter aircraft costjust under £30,000, and the visit to the caribbean and cuba earlier this year by the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall cost more than £400,000. Overall, Officials Say the year was a busy one for the royal family, the members of which, led by the queen, carried out more than 3,000 official engagements in the uk and overseas. Lets talk on this more with graham smith, chief executive of republic an organisation that wants to see the monarchy abolished and the queen replaced with an elected head of state. Buckingham palace makes the point thatis Buckingham Palace makes the point that is part of their estate and this is what it was going to cost to repair. It is part of the Crown Estates are repair. It is part of the Crown Estates a re not repair. It is part of the Crown Estates are not theirs. The refurbishment is clearly designed to provide a host for prince harry and meghan. There is no reason why they should have that home provided by taxpayers. It is two and a half Million Pounds we could be spending on schools and hospitals are Police Officers and are simply not excusable. Ten years ago we were getting outraged by mps spending a lot less in their houses. They are doing much the same but to a much larger cost. It is a 19th century property given to prince harry by the queen and the renovation paid by the queen and the renovation paid by the sovereign grant. It comes under the sovereign grant. It comes under the palace responsibility, if you like. What would you rather, what would be your preferred option . Prince harry and meghan can buy their own house and live there. That is not our radical are controversial view. We all have to work your way through life and play our own homes and there is no reason why harry cant do the same. This is a small pa rt cant do the same. This is a small part of a much bigger picture. It 82 main points mentioned just then is pa rt main points mentioned just then is part of the overall cost which is much more likely to be around £345 million when you include all the other hidden costs. Weve just been looking at pictures of the Royal Wedding and you know the argument that the amount of money that the royal family brings into this country, particularly events we saw in windsor last year, is huge. The market is not. That is the point. Last year in the run up to the wedding i did a freedom of information request for all the evidence and data and they could not give me it. They fully admitted that if we didnt have a monarchy that is no reason for to think to would go down. That is no reason, they are there to do a job that doesnt mean they should keep on spending millions of pounds on them. they should keep on spending millions of pounds on them. If we had a president we would have the same argument about where they live. But it would be one head of state, may be two. Whilst the monarchy as they are, lets put it on a proper footing. That includes having a small budget and an office for the head of state, i salary further head of state, i salary further head of state and it would have it similarto head of state and it would have it similar to ireland with its 10 million all in. A lot of people would say is just £1 to each of us each year. We dontjustify any other public spending by dividing it by every man woman and child in the country. It doesnt work like that. £345 million is the much more accurate figure and for that kind of money can get 15,000 new teachers or nurses. When a situation for schools and hospitals and Police Forces are struggling with cuts and late crime in london. And we are spending millions of pounds on this one family. They simply dont need it. It simply isnt right that we spend not just it simply isnt right that we spend notjust on their official travel and on official accommodation in Buckingham Palace but also on their private homes elsewhere. I think this should be as outrageous as mps expenses. On the basis that you want to abolish the royal family how would you do it . Do you just say, right, one day we do not have a monarch. Its not a difficult thing, other countries have gone through much larger changes. They did it quite drastically. The point is we have what we have no end to houses of parliament but you have them fully elected with a clear constitutions so we dont have all this argument about what the constitution says that we have at the moment around brexit. We have an elected head of state that has a function and actually perform the role rather than keeping out of constitutional arguments as well as everything else. There are serious principled arguments under serious political constitutional arguments but as i think today shows the institution does not fit for purpose. It failed on all the standards of public life we expect of mps. Standards of public life we expect of mps. Ayyss respeak 56 members of mps. Ayyss respeak 56 members of the royal family are carrying out public duties this afternoon. They do work. That doesnt mean that they dont fall short of the standards in terms of accountability and transparency. It is difficult to see are more accountable and study group of people. You cant really pin them down. When their accounts come out there as a whole lot of detail missing and they get the job of auditing their own money and spending. The piece said over 3000 engagements. A typical engagement is about an hour engagements. A typical engagement is aboutan hourorso engagements. A typical engagement is about an hour or so adds up to about 34 days of work per royal and it is not hard work and the turnout in someone elses organised it. Most of it is at home in their palaces and homes around the country so this is not a hard working monarchy, it is an incredibly expensive monarchy and we could do so much better in principle, democratic and accountable, and certainly a lot cheaper. Thank you very much. If you have any views on that. Tell me what you think. Youre watching afternoon live, these are our headlines. Borisjohnson says he can categorically rule out a brexit extension saying the october 31 deadline is do or die. Hillsborough match commander David Duckenfield will face a retrial over the deaths of 9
