Boris johnson, the frontrunner in the race to be conservative party leader and Prime Minister, now says he will take part in the Bbc Television debate with the other contenders next tuesday. In a radio interview, he said it was perfectly realistic to renegotiate the Withdrawal Agreement with the eu before the end of october, but the uk should step up preparations for a no deal brexit, to help get an improved deal. The leadership race lost one candidate today the heath secretary, matt hancock, announced he was dropping out, leaving six men going in to the next ballot of tory mps on tuesday. With more, heres our deputy political editorjohn pienaar. Leader of the pack, the strong, silent type. Are you afraid of scrutiny, mrjohnson . Silent type. Are you afraid of scrutiny, mrjohnson . Was he up before facing live interviews . Joining the other candidates in a bbc tv debate . It turned out he was. I have always been keen on tv debates. Im slightly bewildered by the conversation that has been going on, and the best time to do that i think would be the second ballot on tuesday. He had decided risking a slip or setback was worth it, better seeming to hide away his pledge, no surrender, he would deliver a managed brexit, deal or no deal, by october the 31st. The only way to make sure that we convince our partners that we are determined to get that outcome, is to prepare for no deal, and i think it would be absolutely bizarre to signal at this stage that the uk government was willing, once again, to run up the white flag and delay yet again. As for the big barrier to a deal, how to avoid stops and checks on the eus irish border after brexit. The obvious way to do it is to make sure that you have checks on anybody who breaks the law, as you would expect, but you do it away from the border. What about using cocaine question of a damaging admission by rival michael gove. Mrjohnson treated it is almost something trivial. A single inconclusive event that took place when i was a teenager but at moments later, the first to drop out. Health secretary Matt Hancocks 20 votes in his last round now up for grabs. Where i have put myself as a candidate focused on the future, the party has an assembly focused very much on the here and now and how we get through brexit in the next few months. I have decided to withdraw from the contest. In other words, the big issue in the coming debates and rounds of voting next week is how willing the next Prime Minister will be to leave the eu without a deal. That and who is best placed to take on the front runner. Johnny hunt said his negotiating experience in business and as foreign secretary meant he could get a deal where theresa may failed, so trust him and not borisjohnson. Theresa may failed, so trust him and not Boris Johnson. His theresa may failed, so trust him and not borisjohnson. His heart stopped on the 31st of october is effectively saying that the best we can offer the country is either a no deal brexit or a general election, if parliament succeeds in stopping that. Six runners left. Michael in third place and trying to accelerate. Im looking forward to a contest of ideas and to exchanging thoughts with other candidates about how we can make the country but in the future. What rory stewart warning against no deal and Boris Johnson. He keeps saying he will deliver brexit by the slst of october but how . We need the details of how itll happen. Brexiteer dominic raab, you know they are campaigning when the hard hats come out this is the start of the race, we know about the curse of the front in conservative leadership contest. In the home secretary, like all of them needing to gain ground. The question is who is going up against boris and i think what i offer is a good choice, a fresh choice for the party and the country. This isnt just a race to downing street, it is a chase. The prospect of a calling number ten home has tantalised Boris Johnson for years. Now it mayjust be within touching distance. Just now, most mps here would say this is looking like a fight for second place on the Party Members ballot and the only person capable of beating borisjohnson mightjust be borisjohnson. Of beating borisjohnson mightjust be Boris Johnson. Brexit of beating borisjohnson mightjust be borisjohnson. Brexit is like the promise to leave the eu on time, deal or no deal, but the message that preparing for a no deal might be the best way to avoid it happening is meant to appeal to the rest. There are still crucial weeks to come. This isnt over, not yet. Many thanks, john. Do you have any questions for the conservative leadership candidates .

Chuka umunna, who left labour earlier this year to help form the change uk party, has now joined the liberal democrats. The former shadow business secretary said he was absolutely delighted by the move. Earlier, the streatham mp admitted he had massively underestimated the difficulty of setting up a new party. A Church Service has been held to mark the second anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire, in which 72 people died. This evening, survivors and bereaved families will also lay a wreath at the foot of the tower in west london. The Public Inquiry into the fire heard evidence that the cladding on the outside of the building was the primary cause of the spread of the blaze. Two years on, three quarters of Tall Buildings in england with similar cladding still havent had it removed or modified. Our special correspondent lucy manning has the story. Ijust lift my head up to the sky and say help me to be strong ijust cant give up now. In the shadow of grenfell, a community that fire ripped apart came together. But, if were honest, not much seems to have changed. Two years on, we still seem no clearer on where responsibility lies. Zainab choucair. Mierna choucair. 72 names, many whole families. The pain has not subsided. It has just lasted for a longer, and the sense of injustice has grown. We dont want to wait for justice, i dont know, certain years. As soon as possible we get the justice. Grenfell remembers, grieves, but they dont forget they still dont have any answers. Two years on, no one held responsible. No one charged. No outcome to the public enquiry. Marcio gomes and his pregnant wife escaped that night but his son, the youngest of the 72 victims, killed two months before he was due to be born. Lots of emotions. Crying, anger. Love, forgiveness. Everything. And two years on, has enough changed . No, not nearly enough. A lot more needs to be done. People need to feel safe at home. The grenfell families were promised everyone would be the highest rehoused within three weeks. Two years on, and 17 households still havent found permanent homes. The country was promised every high rise building would be made safe. Two years on, 328 buildings are still with unsafe cladding, with tens of thousands of people still living in them. Im proud to be supporting this cookbook. Survivor Munira Mahmud has raised money with a grenfell cookbook, but cannot find peace. It is two years on. And no one has been charged yet. People are walking freely, sleeping nicely, you know, and we are in a nightmare. The families, we lost families, friends, neighbours. They are dignified. They have refused to give up. But are still waiting. Crowds are gathering now for the Main Memorial Service and march. The government has given £600 million to try and remove the grenfell style cladding from other buildings but the work has been slow and it is feared other dangerous cladding remains on buildings. On the enquiry, it has been delayed. An interim report due last year it now will not come until the autumn. And on charges, police are saying that until the public enquiry has totally finished, they cannot even think about handing to prosecutors and that might not until 2022, five yea rs that might not until 2022, five years after this disaster, so you can understand the frustration of the reefed and the survivors who think that change has been a Long Time Coming the bereaved. Public Health England has linked the deaths of two more hospital patients to an outbreak of hysteria linked to prepacked subjects. The death of two patients at manchester Royal Infirmary and another at Aintree Hospital had been confirmed by their investigation. Our Health Editor hugh pym joins us now. What more do we know . Are we to go Public Health that told us there were six cases are people seriously ill in hospitals with infections linked to listeria through hospital sandwiches and salads. Three of them had died.

The comedianjo brand has apologised for making a joke about throwing battery acid on politicians. She made the comments on the bbc radio a programme heresy.

But she said didnt think she had made a mistake, as she hadnt mentioned mr farage. A couple have been convicted of murdering a vulnerable young woman nearly 20 years ago. Edward cairney and avriljones killed Margaret Fleming, who was 19 and had learning difficulties, at their home in inverclyde around christmas 1999. A benefits claim made 16 years later on margarets behalf prompted questions. Our scotland correspondent lorna gordon reports. Edward cairney and avriljones the supposed carers of a vulnerable young woman who instead became her killers. In a bbc interview before they were charged, they denied Margaret Fleming had been harmed. Did either of you harm margaret . No. Far from it. So, margaret is alive and well and she has come to no harm . Thats right. Not that i know of, unless shes got hurt in the last couple of weeks. But margaret a quiet, shy girl had come to harm. The teenager had moved here, into the couples home in inverkip on the clyde, after herfather died. On one occasion she was seen here with duct tape around her wrists. On another, with drainpipes covering her arms up to her shoulders. Margaret was last seen alive just before christmas 1999. Police believe that in herfinal months she was effectively a prisoner treated like a slave, neglected, deprived of food, murdered. The couple made fantastical claims to try and cover up their crimes. That margaret was scared of the police and had run away. That she had left to become a gang master. That she was a frustrated spy. It was left to one of her former teachers to talk about the real margaret an isolated teenager who nobody was looking out for, who disappeared without anyone even realising she was gone. I taught margaret for two years, and im here speaking about her as a person, and im the only person that weve been able to find that really remembers her. And i think that is one of the saddest things, that this wee girl has just been forgotten. Forgotten for almost 20 years. Now Margaret Fleming thes murderers finally brought to justice. Lorna gordon, bbc news at the high court in glasgow. The time is 6. 15. Our top story this evening. The front runner for the tory leadership borisjohnson says he will take part in a tv debate with others.

England manager phil neville is looking for another win at the womens world cup, when his side face argentina later. Now, it was a virus deadly to cattle rinderpest was once widespread in the middle east, africa and asia. It had disappeared from the wild for nearly a decade, but samples of the infection were retained in the safe environment of laboratories nearly all of them at a lab in surrey. Well, today those samples too were destroyed, as part of a global move to eradicate it completely. Our science correspondent, pallab ghosh went to see it happen. This is the rinderpest virus, relentlessly destroying the cells of a cow. It is responsible for one of the worst human catastrophes in history. More than 100 years ago, it killed 90 of the cattle in southern and eastern africa, causing mass starvation. Millions died. In 1998 it contributed to malnutrition all across east africa. A Vaccination Campaign eventually eradicated the disease in the wild, in 2011. But thousands of samples of the virus remained in labs all across the world. And these still posed a threat. The only risk of a virus coming back and causing disease in animals is if it escapes from the laboratory. And the best way of making sure that it never, ever manages to escape from our laboratory is by making sure that all the samples left in laboratories are destroyed. To do that, they were sent to a handful of high security facilities. Here at the pirbright institute, they have been kept under tight control. Everything and everyone has to be thoroughly washed or fumigated. This vial contains one of the last remaining samples of the virus in this lab. It has to be broken open, disinfected and then incinerated as part of a Global Campaign to completely eliminate it from the face of the earth. The very last batch is sent to a High Pressure oven to be superheated and destroyed. Three, two, one. Yeah this is the end of an era for pirbright and all of the scientists who have worked here over the years. All of our international collaborators. We are now in a position to say that we have destroyed all of our rinderpest stocks and we are essentially making the world a safer place. Rinderpest and smallpox are the only diseases to have been eradicated. Scientists hope that they will be the first of many that will be destroyed for ever. Pallab ghosh, bbc news, pirbright in surrey. Iran says it categorically rejects us claims that it was behind attacks on two oil tankers in the gulf of oman yesterday. The us has released a video which it says shows Iranian Special forces removing an unexploded mine from the side of one of the damaged vessels. Its a further escalation of tensions over the strategically important waterway, which separates iran from the arabian peninsula. Crude oil prices have risen in response. Our Diplomatic CorrespondentJames Landale reports. These are the pictures the us sees as proof of irans involvement in the attacks. Pictures showing what they say are Iranian Revolutionary guards removing an unexploded mine from the side of one of the two stricken oil tankers. The us also released a photograph which it says, shows where one mine had exploded close to where the other had not. All part of a us attempt to blame iran for the attacks that left both tankers ablaze early yesterday. An assessment shared by the united kingdom. We have no reason not to believe the american assessment and our instinct is to believe it because theyre our closest ally and we are very worried about the situation in iran. The attacks took place near the strait of hormuz, which separates the gulf from the gulf of oman, one of the most important strategic waterways in the well because its waterways in the world because its a choke point for global oil supplies. At its narrowest point, the strait is just 21 miles wide and this would make it relatively easy for iranian fast attack boats, used by the revolutionary guard, to strike shipping. The attack on the two oil tankers happened close to jask, which is also the location of a secret Iranian Naval base. But iran has categorically denied any involvement and accused the us of threatening regional stability. Translation the Us Government has acted against all International Laws in the last two years, by adopting an aggressive policy and it poses a serious threat to regional and international stability. With the us stepping up its military presence in the region, diplomats fear theres a serious risk of escalation. The question now is how the us or its allies respond. James landale, bbc news.
