So, it is a momentous day here at westminster. After several weeks of campaigning, the new leader of the Uk Conservative Party will be announced in just a few hours. That person will also be moving into number 10 as britains new Prime Minister. It will be one of these two men. Former foreign secretary Boris Johnson, or the current foreign secretaryjeremy hunt. Mrjohnson is the runaway favourite. He has been from the outset. Two cabinet ministers have already said they will resign if he does win, because he says he would go through with a no deal brexit. 0ur Political Editor, Laura Kuennsberg has this assessment of whats likely to happen next. However is lucky enough to win the contest however is lucky enough to win the co ntest a nd however is lucky enough to win the contest and move here in downing street on wednesday, trade is one of just a very long list of conundrums that they are going to have to grapple with. All the smart money in westminster is on borisjohnson being able to achieve his lifelong fa ntasy of being able to achieve his lifelong fantasy of being able to call this place home but of course hisjob first and foremost, whether it is him orjeremy hunt, would be trying to dig his party, parliament and the country out of the political mess of brexit. But beyond that, they will be eager, too, to try to explain to the country what and who the tories are for. This has been a slow moving political crisis and even for an incoming Prime Minister the majority, it would be quite tall order. Remember this huge hostility in parliament and barely to feel co mforta ble in parliament and barely to feel comfortable about anything. Whoever wins and it looks like it will be borisjohnson, will wins and it looks like it will be Boris Johnson, will be wins and it looks like it will be borisjohnson, will be here in downing street without 48 hours, looking at an in tray full of nightmares. Perhaps with little goodwill to help. Theresa may had a leaving do of sorts. She invited some of the mps who have been trying to get her out for so long, into talk to her, to raise a glass. It is said she raised a toast to the Incoming Administration to which her successof Incoming Administration to which her successor well but it will take a lot more than glasses of warm white in the downing street garden to get the new Prime Minister through all of this. They will need every timing tiny piece, notjust ofjudgement but of luck on her side. So what can we expect to happen over the coming hours and days . The winner of the tory leadership contest will be announced around midday today. On wednesday, after her final pmqs, theresa may will go to Buckingham Palace and tender her resignation to the queen. Soon after that, either Boris Johnson orjeremy hunt will travel to the palace to be appointed Prime Minister. Theyll then make their way to downing street to give their first speech in their new role. With me is Iain Anderson, founder of the International Communications agency, cicero group. Also has been in the thick of this story in terms of the politics and the business for a long time. Today we will find out who has the task of being our Prime Minister and taking us being our Prime Minister and taking us out of europe. Yes. And this has perhaps been the longest march to number ten of the front runner. It looks like its going to be Boris Johnson today but people have made far too Many Political predictions over the past three or four years so yes. I think it is going to be boris but lets wait and see. We will find out around about uk time today make no one. It looks as though borisjohnson becomes make no one. It looks as though Boris Johnson becomes leader of make no one. It looks as though borisjohnson becomes leader of the conservative party today and just for another 48 hours 24 hours, theresa may remains in downing street until he is likely to see the queen tomorrow and become britains Prime Minister. She will share her last cabinet ministers meeting this morning. As you say, by around 12 noon we will know who has won that race. 160,000 conservative members have cast their vote privately so you never know. They could be a surprise. Assuming it is Boris Johnson, we have already had resignations. Alan duncan resigning as Foreign Office minister and others are saying they are poised to do the same. Key people like philip hammond, david gauke, rory stewart. So the new Prime Minister faces just as many problems, perhaps even more problems, getting a deal through parliament, as theresa may did. The first thing im expecting is to hear whether or not boris plans to go to european capitals to brussels, and start renegotiating as fast as possible. He has played a campaign which suggests he is going to have a very tough line with europe and we are hearing in todays newspapers as much about him wanting to actually start discussions or actually being very, very standoffish. Hopefully we will find out which starts he is going to take stance. The essential problem remains. The problem you are pointing to, that a lot of people in that welding, including members of his own party, and former colleagues around the cabinet table, i determined to stop a no deal brexit. They may make his life incredibly difficult. Are determined. There may well be a lot of well known faces on the tory backbench to make it their mission to make his job backbench to make it their mission to make hisjob extremely hard. In a similar way to theresa mays experience. The problem is potentially even harder for Boris Johnson in that the conservative s effective majority is now down to about three. It is wafer thin. Yes and there is a dialect and in the Uk Parliament next week and that is looking pretty tough for the conservatives to win. The liberal democrats have a new leader overnight and they are expected to do quite well and that will take the majority down to two. Take away two of those former cabinet ministers. Philip hammond who said he wont serve david gauke who has indicated he will resign. Worry stuart perhaps as well and you have completely lots your majority. Rory stewart. And then perhaps brittanys heading towards an early general election. Britain. Towards an early general election. Britain. We would love to get your questions and comments that we can discuss. What are you thinking about this process. What are your concerns . As we await the results of the final ballot, you can read a lot more on our website.

It was a sunny day, it was in windy or anything so it wasnt moving and as i leaned back i went straight through the window and damaged my back. Wake up two weeks later in hospital. What was it like when you woke up and they told you might not be walking again. When you woke up and they told you might not be walking againlj believe things happen for a reason. Even at 14 years old, i was quite mature for my age so i remember when the consultant came over and mum was there and the psychologist and all these other people whether and they told me i could not walk and my first reaction was, ok. I am actually lucky to be alive. I died twice in a coma or something, i dont remember any of this but i was lucky to be alive and i knew that. Life goes on.

That being, in a few hours time, around the corner from here, anything qe2 centre around the corner, we will be hearing the announcement of who has won the battle to become the next leader of the conservative party and, of course, Prime Minister. With me is Iain Anderson, founder of the International Communications agency, cicero group. We promise our viewers we would a nswer we promise our viewers we would answer some of their questions. Alan says, as a number of senior ministers are looking to quit a borisjohnson ministers are looking to quit a Boris Johnson cabinet, will that ministers are looking to quit a borisjohnson cabinet, will that be enough experience around with him with new ministers and cabinet to deal with a deal or no deal brexit. Fascinating question. Everything that we are piecing together is that, unlike theresa may, who wanted to have a mix of remainers and leavers around the table, boris will probably want to have a much stronger centre of gravity towards those that prefer leave back. That said, he will have to bind the conservative party together. I think there will be one or two people that supported during the referendum but the centre of gravity i think will be around his cabinet. He said every member of his habit has to be reconciled with the policy of leaving on the 31st of october, deal or no deal. 0ne reviewer said, more confusion awaits britain. That is the worry for Business Leaders and for anyone in the country, they are thinking, gosh, what will this change . Businesses sees three things. First they see boris likely to say i will take us out with no deal. The second is a parliament that may try and block no deal. And at the third thing is a European Union that is public not going to move. Thank you for now. Youre back later without news briefing and i am back with the business stories in a moment. Tuesday will be quite a bit hotter. Very hot in some areas as temperatures hit the mid 30s and where is all this hot weather coming from . A lot of clear whether, huge cloudless area across spain, france, the uk and that is hot air coming in from algeria, morocco and spreading across many parts of western europe in the coming days. Temperature records could tumble in some countries including the uk. We could beat the july record set countries including the uk. We could beat thejuly record set in 2015. Looking at the focus in the short term. Cloud across southern and western areas, especially around the coast. Very and warm in the morning. 17 in the south, 16 in the north. Rain in the north west of scotland, but pretty much unbroken sunshine. The strong sun beating down on us all day long. We could see highs of 34 in the south and the high 20s in the north east of england. Fresher around belfast around 22 degrees. Tuesday night, some nasty thunderstorms on the way with big downpours and frequent lightning. Tuesday night into the early hours of wednesday, spreading across many parts of the uk so widespread thunderstorms, not just hit and miss and really big downpours in places. They clear away and were with bits and pieces of cloud on wednesday. A legacy of cloud on wednesday. A legacy of cloud here and there. Temperatures may be just a fraction lower in one or two areas. Eastern areas still probably hitting around the mid 30s. 0n probably hitting around the mid 30s. On thursday, the heatwave is well and truly spreading northwards even into some parts of scandinavia. The jetstrea m into some parts of scandinavia. The jetstream pumping up the heat and we could reach 36, perhaps even 37 celsius somewhere in the south east. If that value is reached, it would make it a july record but it all depends on how much cloud is going to be on thursday. This is the business briefing. Im sally bundock.
