Good morning. After a stunning start to the weekend, not quite so straightforward today. Many places dry with hazy sunshine, but get ready for the chance of torrential thunderstorm and more heat and humidity on the way. The full forecast is coming up. Good morning. Its sunday the 23rd ofjune. Our top story a neighbour of tory leadership hopeful borisjohnson and his partner has defended calling the police after overhearing a row at the couples flat, and passing a recording of the incident to a newspaper. The story continues to dominate the front pages of the papers today. Our Political Correspondent nick eardley joins us now, what more can you tell us about this . The man who made the recording and contacted the police is tom penn, he had spoken to the guardian now exactly about why he did that. The basic story is that he had the row happening from their house, spoke to his wife, they knocked on the door three times and when they got no reply, decided to phone the police. He said his only concern at that point was for the welfare of the people in the flat. But he did give the recording to the guardian afterwards because he thought it was in the Public Interest. Now, there have been some questions raised in the papers this morning about the motivation of mr penn for releasing that recording. He dismisses that a nswe is , that recording. He dismisses that answers, no, this wasjust that recording. He dismisses that answers, no, this was just about the two people in the flat, checking they were fine and we thought it was in the Public Interest because as johnson is going for the top job. In the Public Interest because as johnson is going for the topjob. Mr johnson is going for the topjob. Mr johnson so far has not commented on what has happened so far. And it also featured at the hustings event, didnt it . He was asked several times for his version of events, his simple answer was, the audience they do not want to hear about it, his team are saying that mrjohnson has never spoken about his private life in the past and he is not going to start doing so now. That hustings was about much broader issues, about brexit, about the fight for number ten between borisjohnson and jeremy hunt. I thought boris was fantastic, the read came alive as soon as paris entered the room and when he spoke it was absolutely relate. Baris. Jeremy came over much better than i thought he went. Food for thought. What did you think about the question for Boris Johnsons personal life . It was inevitable that they would be asked and probably, probably inevitable that he would choose not to answer. Interesting that those two people dont seem to have thought that this iow dont seem to have thought that this row has had much of an impact. There isa row has had much of an impact. There is a poll on the mail on sunday which suggest mrjohnsons lead over mr hunt has been reduced, although it is still about ii . A long way to 90, it is still about ii . A long way to go, 15 hustings go, lots of questions and hopefully lots of a nswe is questions and hopefully lots of a nswers to questions and hopefully lots of answers to come. Yes, and several weeks of campaigning to come. The outcome of that should be released on the 22nd ofjuly. The Foreign Office minister, andrew murrison, will call for the urgent de escalation of tensions in the gulf, when he holds talks in iran today. Lets get more on this from our middle eastern correspondent tom bateman who is in fujairah in the united arab emirates. Good morning to you. How concerning has this escalation of tensions that ben . I think the feeling here is one of increased volatility after those events last week, of the iranians shooting down a us drone and those disputed circumstances. Then the us President Donald Trump saying a plan was being put in place that he was due to authorise for a retaliatory strike. He said he stood down at the last minute because the fed hundred and 50 iranians would die and he did not think that was proportionate. As for that visit by the British Foreign minister to tehran this morning, the british will be calling for the escalation of tensions for the iranians not to breach the technical limits of the iran nuclear deal, which they say they are due to do next week. The iranians will be pushing for more action from the europeans because they won three europeans because they won three european countries, including britain, to get on with a mechanism that would help alleviate some of the sanctions that the americans put in place when the us pulled out of that nuclear deal last year stop britain and the other countries are still signatures to that deal with iran. They still believe that is the best way to ensure that iran does not get Nuclear Weapons. Donald trump does not think that deal would have worked. We had him in washington last night saying, giving this mixed message. One hand, if the rains would agree not to have Nuclear Weapons on his terms, he said they could be best friends, lets make a run great again. On the other hand, if conflict was to come to the region, whitby and britain relation, as he described. There would be retaliation. A Large Scale Campaign to plant forgeries and fake content on twitter and facebook has been uncovered by a group of researchers. The Atlantic CouncilsDigital Forensic research lab says the material originates from russia and is still going on, but it has had little impact. And is still going on, the russian state has always dismissed claims it is involved in these types of so called influence operations. Union members have raised concerns over unpaid trial shifts where employers ask potential staff to work, before deciding whether or not to keep them on. Unite claims a loophole in the law allows some employers to use inexperienced people as free labour. Sangita myska reports. Like thousands of teenagers this summer, 16 year old mia had been looking for a part time job. When a local cafe responded to her cv with the offer of a trial shift, she was elated. She says she spent seven hours waitressing on a busy saturday but was not offered any work or paid the minimum wage. I dont think its fair at all, that we would not get paid. Just because we are young, i think we should still be treated like adults, and the fact we are young doesnt mean we shouldnt be able to get the job or anything like that. It is interesting that so many other people have posted a similar experience to you. When her dad, shaun, posted mias experience on social media, he says dozens of parents wrote back saying their kids had experienced the same thing. What does the law say . According to the government it is illegal to employ anyone on an unpaid work trial for what it calls an excessive period of time or if there is nojob on offer. But trying to prove exactly what an excessive period of time is, or whether there was ever a job in the offing, is difficult to prove, especially if you are young and inexperienced. Guidelines that they put out kind of give a bit of a loophole to the employer to they can say that this is a genuine trial and we need to assess if the person is right for the job. But that just creates a situation where employers can take advantage. Having someone there for five hours or an entire day is not a trial shift, that is working time and people should be paid for that. After the bbc contacted the cafe where mia had had her trial shift, she received a text message saying that she had not got the job as a waitress, and that her travel expenses would now be reimbursed. Some of englands rivers are reaching crisis point, according to conservationists, with Climate Change and water extraction being blamed. Last yea rs heatwave and dry winter caused chalk streams across the country to dry up, because the underground layer which feeds them the aquifer had next to no source of water. Campaigners, including an 80s pop star, are calling for urgent action as tom edwards reports. This is one of only 200 red chalk rivers in the world, but like many in the chilterns, this once rich habitat has dried up. Fergal sharkey, the former musician, says decades of Water Companies taking and over abstructing water has pushed chalk streams over the edge. This river should be full of more waterfalls than you could possibly count, kingfishers, and it should be the best habitat on the planet. Its not. We have a muddy, grassy ditch, driven by incompetence. Most chalk streams in the world are in england. They emerge from chalk aquifers and have very pure water. Here in the chilterns, it is very different. Campaigners want Water Companies to introduce restrictions on water use, and drive down demand for water. They also say Climate Change is having an impact. Climate change is also reducing the recharged window for the chalk aquifer. In other words, the growing season is longer and plants take a lot of water out of the soils. The time period in which rainfall can soak into the aquifer is reducing. The Environment Agency which regulates abstraction says it has to balance supply and the environment. It says customers should use water responsibly and it has cut abstractions, but campaigners say much stronger action is needed to stop this chalk stream crisis. Team sport players have as much endurance as Long Distance runners and can be as powerful as body builders, according to a new study. Researchers from Manchester Metropolitan University say its all down to their blend of training, which gives them the best of both worlds. They say people wrongly assume you cant excel in both.

The Rolling Stones no filter tour was postponed in april to allow the frontman to recover, and judging by these pictures, he seems fighting fit once more. He does not need a hip replacement, does a . 75 now. Still an incredible performer. It is 8 12am. If you feel like the race for the tory leadership has been dragging on, well, weve got news for you. Its onlyjust Getting Started how many days in our weekly are we . Yesterday was the first of 16 hustings around the country, so weve got a long way to go until the next Prime Minister is confirmed on the 22nd july. So how did the two contenders perform . Were joined now by Andrew Pierce from the daily mail and Kevin Maguire from the daily mirror. Good morning. We have to address this issue about his private life first of all, he was asked a question by iain dale about it yesterday, the row he had with his girlfriend, it is all over the sunday papers today. How do you think he handled it . Badly. He did not answer it, he pretended it was of no importance. Jeremy hunt, his rival, does not think that way, he wa nts to rival, does not think that way, he wants to debate character as well as politics policies. It is a moment when somebody wants to be Prime Minister and police are called to their flat because neighbours are concerned about shouts of get off me, get out of my flat, reported crashing and banging and screaming, and hejust crashing and banging and screaming, and he just tries to pretend, nothing to answer there, nothing to see. That cannot be the case, but it is how Boris Johnson see. That cannot be the case, but it is how borisjohnson has behaved in his entire career. He has tried to do it over his blunder over the jail sentence of the women in iran. He wa nts to ru n sentence of the women in iran. He wants to run away from everything he does, he wants no scrutiny and no accountability. If i had does, he wants no scrutiny and no accountability. Ifi had been advising baris, iwould have said you should simply say men and women have arguments they dont normally expect the neighbours to record it, to call the police. When the police decide to take no action, than to go to the guardian which is the newspaper. However, he is a public figure and his private life has to be subjected to public scrutiny and what this does is reminds people that boris has had a pretty interesting, colourful private life. He is getting divorced for a second time. Carrie symonds might become wife number three, rather like Jeremy Corbyn who is number three. But nobody talks about that. That is no issue. The number of yc has is not an issue. The issue of the the number of wives he has is not an issue, the issue is they are worried about the couple, the police come, the police leave saying there was nothing criminal happening. Why doesnt borisjohnson say nothing criminal happening. Why doesnt Boris Johnson say that . Nothing criminal happening. Why doesnt borisjohnson say that . You have still got to explained there was this furious row, that threatens your neighbours and the police are called. You cant airbrush it. We could talk about this all morning, if we wanted to. It is important to address other issues. Pa rt important to address other issues. Part of me wonders whether stories like this do not letjeremy hunt off the hook slightly. He should be subjected this scrutiny. He might be getting bounce from the stories, but do you think he has anything else to offer that might chip away at boris . I thinkjeremy offer that might chip away at boris . I think jeremy hunt offer that might chip away at boris . I thinkjeremy hunt was a surprise to some of the people in the hall because it was very fluent, authoritative, he came over very well. A lot of people had decided it was all over bar the shouting. He has been an accomplished foreign secretary, borisjohnson hasnt talked about his record of foreign secretary because it wasnt a great success. He prefers to talk about the mayor of london when he won twice. He wants to remind that audience and tory activity is a prove n audience and tory activity is a proven winner. Hunt will run this closer than people think, i think, it is still boris chilis comment as an expression we keep losing. And what happened the other day is a pretty good start on losing it. What about the policy positions . Are we getting genuine discussion about that and seeing clear differences . The big issue for the conservative party, many people in the country as well, is brexit. Both now say they willaim to well, is brexit. Both now say they will aim to leave on the 31st of october, halloween, if there is no deal in second circumstances. I think that is what has got to be scrutinised because borisjohnson claimed gap 2a, no tariffs, no taxes on trade. He isjust plain claimed gap 2a, no tariffs, no taxes on trade. He is just plain factually wrong. Jeremy hunt dated remain, he wa nted wrong. Jeremy hunt dated remain, he wanted a fresh referendum, he compared the European Union to the soviet union, now hes trying to talk himself to hardline brexit if, which we know is not the realjeremy hunt because hes too sensible for that. I think they both really need to be scrutinised very closely and forensically, which both are trying to dodge. That is boriss strength with the activist, these are the people who choose the banister, a lot of them are going to be brexiteers. Boris is a long standing brexiteer. Wallace has to clarify, he said we are boris has to clarify, he said we are definitely leaving on the 315t, now he was a bit more vague. He wanted to stay in the Single Market a few years ago when he wa nted market a few years ago when he wanted another referendum, at the 2016 campaign, he wrote two articles, one for the case in, one for the case out. He is a neck compression argue, a debater. An accomplished twister. When we talk about tax policy, the way that we handle the health service, education, we have not yet seen one service, education, we have not yet seen one bold statement from either them, apart from Boris Johnsons commitment to cut taxes for higher rate owners. He is now saying that as an aspiration. That was in his column in the telegraph. He says he wants to help people, he wants to ta ke wants to help people, he wants to take the more out of the top rate of tax. While too many on that rate, it isa tax. While too many on that rate, it is a noble ambition. He is also he also spent 30 billion on broadband. Its like they did not preside over the authority of the last nine years with the cuts of education and the nhs, what is happening in the welfare state. Kicking people when they are down. Where will their mandates be . If they win, they can promise all this, where is their mandate without a general election . It is the same mandate as gordon brown had. Lesson, plenty of time to talk to both of you much more about this in the weeks to come. We do have a good few more weeks about, whether we like it or not nice to talk to you. You too. The week of the 2
