Words were eminently, i was not 100 determined, its not that we are going to do that but if it is possible to do it, if its eminently feasible. The first thing i would do would be to put together a brexit negotiating team that would include the dep, the erg, the brexit peerto sin are party, tories, one nation tories, a team of people. President trump has announced plans to impose additional sanctions on iran as tensions between the two countries ratchet up further. If the leadership of iran behaves badly, than it is going to be a very badly, than it is going to be a very bad day for them. But hopefully, they are smart and hopefully they really care for their people and not themselves and hopefully, we can get iran back to an economic tract that is fantastic. Campaigners have joined Richard Ratcliffe outside the Iranian Embassy to show solidarity with him as his Hunger Strike over his detained wifes plight enters its eighth day. And the government announces a new permament memorial to mark the First National windrush day which honours the british caribbean community. Good evening. The two conservative leadership contenders have faced questions and Party Members this afternoon in the first of the series across the country. Borisjohnson jeremy hunt were in birmingham, each trying to convince conservative activists that they are the best candidate to replace theresa may as Prime Minister. Boris johnson sidestepped questions about an incident in which police are called to reports at the flat that he shares with his girlfriend, lets have a listen to what he had to say. Ido have a listen to what he had to say. I do not think they wanted to hear about that kind of thing, listen, listen. Forgive me. Ithink about that kind of thing, listen, listen. Forgive me. I think what they want to hear and what they want to hear is what my plans are for the country and for our party. I know you will have to come back and i salute your ability as a journalist but under the set obligation of wanting to get my message across, to oui wanting to get my message across, to our party. You have just taken up a minute that told us absolutely nothing. If the police. If the police. Walk into your home, makes it everyones business. You are running for the office of notjust leader of the conservative party but Prime Minister. So therefore, a lot of people do call into question what your character is and it is incumbent for you to answer the question. People are entitled to ask about me and my determination, mike character and what i want to do for the country. And let me just tell you that when i make a promise and politics, but what im going to do, i keep that promise and i deliver. That was Boris Johnson, i keep that promise and i deliver. That was borisjohnson, the former foreign secretary was then asked if you would be able to deliver brexit by the october 31 deadline. What i said in the bbc, the whole thing was com pletely said in the bbc, the whole thing was completely inaudible, what i said was that leaving on october the 31st was, my words were eminently feasible, which was taken to mean that it wasnt 100 determined to do, eminently feasible none of them is we are going to do it but it is possible to do it because it is eminently feasible. Of course we can do it. I know we can do it. Yes, thatis do it. I know we can do it. Yes, that is the spirit i know, that is the kind of that is the kind of can do attitude the kind of that is the kind of cando attitude when asked about the high speed rail project, mr johnson explained why he is hesitant to give his full backing. Johnson explained why he is hesitant to give his full backinglj johnson explained why he is hesitant to give his full backing. I have anxieties over the Business Case for that. I think there are questions, legitimate questions that any incoming Prime Minister would want to satisfy himself about before what i think is a logo decision in december. About profiling of the spend and so on and what i would do, i will have a review, but that would not be a review that interrupts the current timetable. The current foreign secretary told parties on what he would do wonders his first as Prime Minister. The first thing i would do would be to put together a brexit negotiating team that would include for example, the dup, the erg the brexit purists, one nation interpret paige tories, 18 that would be able to deliver through parliament, the first rule of negotiations. When asked about a general election, he explained why they would not happen before brexit. We are in a very serious situation. Get things wrong and there will be iio get things wrong and there will be no conservative government, maybe even 110 no conservative government, maybe even no conservative party. Get things right and we can deliver brexit, unite the party and send Jeremy Corbyn packing, i will never sign one before we have left the european union. I will not do it. The lesson of peterborough is that that would kill us. He was asked to defend his record as Health Secretary and how that qualifies them to the top job. Secretary and how that qualifies them to the topjob. As Prime Minister, you have to take very difficult decisions and as Health Secretary you have to take life and death decisions in you saw that videojust now, some of the patients, it does a fantasticjob and doctors do an incredible job. They really do. But sometimes we get it wrong and in order to put things right, i had to fight some very tough battles and i hope people can see from that that im the kind of Prime Minister who isnt going to make his biggest priority to make popularity and i do believe the nhs got safer on my watch date popularity, and i am proud of the changes that were made. Foreign secretary. Lets get the reaction to what took place today in birmingham, were going to talk to our correspondent who, you are in the audience there, just talking about the report that the two men had with the report that the two men had with the audience. And how this first session went. This is the exact same venue session went. This is the exact same venue here where the conservative Party Conference took place in the autumn of last year, theresa may dancing on the stage two dancing queen, they did very little to lift the malaise in the conservative party and he was on an event, getting a rapturous applause, people on theirfeet, boris getting a rapturous applause, people on their feet, borisjohnson, getting a rapturous applause, people on theirfeet, borisjohnson, he has are meant to potentially revive fortune and here he was back on stage and more circumspect to Boris Johnson today from the conservative faithful. It is clear from those of spoken to today that he is still the favourite, a lot of them think he is the best person to become our next Prime Minister, but they watched his speech today and it was typical from him as he came on stage, lots of jokes, one liners, get the incubus off our backs, very unusual use of language which we have come to expect from Boris Johnson but language which we have come to expect from borisjohnson but it language which we have come to expect from Boris Johnson but it was quite questioning from the presenter, about the revelations about his private life, reports the guardian about him and his girlfriend and the police being called to his address in london. It wasnt particularly comfortable at all and wasnt particularly comfortable at allandi wasnt particularly comfortable at all and i dont think for Boris Johnson today. But speaking to people, they still think he is the best person. Looking at reaction on twitter and we have paid a lot of attention to how borisjohnson performs, he did seem to lose his energy a bit towards the end, even referring to how much time he had left. I suppose he did slumped into his chair, a bit exhausting for all of the members of this contest. As they say, there is a long way to go chair, 15 more to go, theyre going to keep their Energy Levels up and there are plenty of boats of this to be one, ive spoken to quite a few activists who have yet to make up their mind, sing with dave seen, seeing what they have seen. He was in the of spoiling is valid because he doesnt like either of the two candidates for the general consensus is thatjeremy hunt performs quite well today, some good jokes that went down with the audience, and i was talking with the mayor of the west midlands, the conservative mayor high profile politician in these parts and he has yet to back either of the two, but he said the conversations around hsz, the high speed rail projects with Boris Johnson has been very critical about inset today although he does have some misgivings, he would introduce a review into it, not a definite on whether or not he would scrap it, thatis whether or not he would scrap it, that is something is going to carry on, particularly in the north of england and in the south throughout these events, becausejeremy hunt is unequivocal on it, he backs at 100 . Thank you very much for that. I enjoy now byJonathan Blake. What is the verdict . As you heard from pete there, they both seem to go down pretty well and it is that audience of conservative members that are both appealing to and both need the votes if they are to succeed in this competition. I think what you saw was a characteristically typical borisjohnson performance was a characteristically typical Boris Johnson performance and atypicaljeremy Boris Johnson performance and atypical jeremy hunt performance. Borisjohnson took all atypical jeremy hunt performance. Boris johnson took all the questions and was big on vision and ideas, light on details where i think jeremy hunt answer the questions in a different way and went into more detail at times and perhaps had more considered answers to those questions. It really depends on what they are looking for their and it was borisjohnson who had to they are looking for their and it was Boris Johnson who had to face immediately those questions of what happened that is flat on thursday night and why the police are called the completely avoided addressing that issue and it seems most of the audience are some of the audience at least agreed with this approach there were not too bothered about hearing his version of events and he can do that is not necessarily affect his campaign too much. But i think towards the end it was quite clear that borisjohnson think towards the end it was quite clear that Boris Johnson was getting a little bit uncomfortable some the questions, not particularly at ease in that environment and he referred to hostile bowling from some of the questions that were coming his way. Jeremy hunt on the other hand really relish this opportunity to talk about his ideas and his policies because he is, and his own words, the underdog and has a lot of ground to make up here to catch Boris Johnson and the Approval Ratings among conservative members and indeed, the exposure that he is getting to the campaign where he hopes helps them gain some traction, getting a bit of momentum and close the gap on blowersjohnson, Boris Johnson. But both men sketching out the priorities and giving a good idea of the character and the type of Prime Minister that both would be. What did you make of the body language . Because he found it quite interesting that he had his sleeves rolled up, making use of the stage livermore step you think all of that is important, showing that connection . Body language in the way you carry yourself as a politician is usually important especially for those want to be Prime Minister. Yes, jeremy hunt rolled up his sleeves, probably a deliberate move to show that he was literally getting in there and wanting to get oii getting in there and wanting to get on with the job and Boris Johnson was his usual sort of, unguarded self and sitting in the chair, making jokes, playing to the room andjeremy hunt making jokes, playing to the room and jeremy hunt yes can put you at ease and make the odd joke, which we nt ease and make the odd joke, which went down reasonably well but giving more detailed and more specific answers at the time. But there is a clear contrast there in terms of the characters of the two men and its up characters of the two men and its up to the conservatives who they prefer stop by they say character does matter when it comes to leadership so Jonathan Blake there. To matters and the united states, donald trump says that theyre planning for the sanctions against iran. In order to stop them from developing Nuclear Weapons, iran shot down a surveillance drone on thursday which then prompted donald trump to impose air strikes and retaliation. He said they were called off minute before taking place due to the potential for civilian casualties, speaking to reporters, he said military options remain on the table. Our correspondent is in washington for us, how serious are things getting . I think very serious is the simple a nswer i think very serious is the simple answer and it would depend on what happens next, President Trump is focused on very much sanctions that is where the pressure needs to be on iran and it is being done, those actions are being taken to take ted andi actions are being taken to take ted and i prevent them from developing Nuclear Weapons because they have said in the next week, they will breach their internationally agreed limits on uranium that he can stockpile and that is the Iran Nuclear Deal that is in a number of countries, including many in europe, but america pulled out of it and under President Trumps guidance. As a result, there is this fear Going Forward , a result, there is this fear Going Forward, particularly after the attacks in the gulf on the standards that were carrying supplies through the trading route and of course the american drone being shot down that the us and iran are on something of a collision course. He was trying to do two things. At one stage he was trying to reach out to iran, but also warning of the dire consequences if there were further attacks. If the leadership of iran behaves badly, than it is going to behaves badly, than it is going to bea behaves badly, than it is going to be a very bad day for them. But hopefully, they are smart and hopefully, they are smart and hopefully they really care for their people and not themselves and hopefully we can get iran back to an economic track that is fantastic where they are a really wealthy nation which would be a wonderful thing. All of those things i want to do. But if theyre going to be foolish, that is never going to happen. He has even talked about meeting with the iranian leadership but there is no appetite for that and tehran, of the us sanctions remain on the contrary, they simply will not go to any negotiating table and that leaves everything pretty precarious. There will be these volatile words, if you take a look at what the armed forces have been saying, they will save firing one bullet towards iran was set fire to the interests of america and its allies but what happens next is very important. And that is why the straight of hormuz is important for not just this straight of hormuz is important for notjust this place straight of hormuz is important for not just this place for commerce, but also potential flash point in this dispute between iran and the us. The Foreign Office ear is set to send one of its ministers to iran tomorrow to call for an urgent de escalation that you have been hearing about. The campaigners joined richard outside the Iranian Embassy to show solidarity with them as is hundred strike Hunger Strike continues, she was jailed for five years and 2016 after being convicted of spying. A charge that she denies. Youll certainly the tensions are not good for us and we watch the news closely and will be worried if things get too far will be trying to lobby for the de escalation attempt, in terms of her conditions, she is still where she was, still in the general word with the women and their checking to see if she is ok in the prison clinic is keeping checking on her. They keep wanting to, theyre waiting to see what the response from the iranian authorities, but tomorrow. They ate is getting a bit tough and im sitting down and im getting tired and slower thinking, not hungry i believe but i think it isa not hungry i believe but i think it is a gradual deterioration of being able to operate but yes, so far i am able to operate but yes, so far i am able to operate but yes, so far i am able to keep strong.
