around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

liz truss has told the bbc she hopes donald trump is re—elected as america's president claiming the "world was safer" when he was in the white house. the uk's shortest—serving prime minister also told our political editor, chris mason she can't see any purpose for the united nations in its current form. he began by asking her how she would repsond to those who say that her time in office made the uk the world's laughing stock. well, i don't... i don't think that's true. but you lasted... all the stuff about lasting less time than a lettuce... this is just pathetic point—scoring. address directly our viewer or listener who looks back 18 months and remembers that mini budget

and blames you for mortgages going sky high, for the country feeling poorer, for the economy getting into a spin, and says that you were the author of that and it was a disaster. well, the mortgages getting higher was a phenomenon that was happening around the world. interest rates were going up. they'd been too low for too long. in fact, it was a failure of the bank of england not to put them up earlier, which would have helped stem inflation. but it was your actions that led to that spiralling economic mess. well, i don't agree with that. i don't agree with that. but the markets went into turmoil. you had to sack your chancellor. you were gone within a few weeks. what happened was we put forward the mini budget, which was about addressing the economic problems britain had, because the fact is, growth was not high enough, there wasn't enough money coming in to the exchequer. that meant squeezes on public services. you had the bank of england,

which was running monetary policy, actively not supporting what the government was doing. do you think andrew bailey, the governor, should be out? well, i don't support his continuation in thejob. we didn't know we were sitting on a tinderbox. which you set fire to. well... i just wonder if it all sounds like you are looking for somebody else to blame. well, what i am saying is, yes... it was somebody else's fault? well, i'm not saying i'm perfect, nobody�*s perfect. it's all very well saying, liz, do you accept any of the blame? i'm frankly not going to let them get off the hook. you talk in the book about the deep state. isn't that to indulge in conspiracy theory kind of quackery? well, it's a description of a group of people, an orthodoxy, a groupthink that is not

accountable to electors. so you'd get rid of the office for budget responsibility? yes, tomorrow. you offer plenty of praise of donald trump in the book. do you hope he wins again in the autumn? yes, i do. why? because i believe that we need a strong america. under donald trump, when he was president of the united states, the world was safer. how, then, do we, in yourview, shape international relations? you talk in the book about the united nations. you talk about it having sick building syndrome. would you get rid of the un? i can't see a purpose for the un as it stands at present. it has been very ineffective at dealing with international situations — in fact, positively damaging. let's talk about the future of the conservative party. would nigel farage be a welcome addition to the parliamentary conservative party? i think he would be,

i think it would be good if he joined the conservative party. and became an mp? well, if hejoined the conservative party, i would support him becoming an mp, yes. why? because i think he believes in conservative values. i think it's a shame he's not in the conservative party. we are grateful for your time, liz truss. thank you. organisers of the beijing half marathon are investigating allegations that three african athletes deliberately allowed china's star runner hejie to win sunday's race. let me show you the moment they crossed the line. (ff gfx)here you can see him. he's finishing one second ahead of the trio. 0n the footage, which is circulating in social media, all four runners close in on the final stretch of the race. and some suspect, the race leaders slowed down before the finish line, to let the chinese runner win. some chinese social media users called the race "embarrassing" or a "performance". a spokesperson at the beijing sports bureau said they were investigating

the incident, adding: "we will announce the results to the public once they are available." and... there's a reaction from the kenyan runner willy mnang—at. he told the south china morning post he indeed let hejie win "because he is my friend" but didn't receive any financial reward for doing so. he later changed his story, telling bbc sport africa that he'd been contracted to run as a pacemaker to try and help he break the chinese half—marathon record. that's all for now — stay with bbc news. hello there. it was a very unsettled day on monday, very windy for many of us with widespread gales and a whole mixture of weather conditions. tuesday looks a little bit quieter. it'll still be quite blustery. there'll be sunshine,

a few showers around, but it'll stay on the cool side for the time of year. in this cooler air mass, which was introduced across the uk by monday's area of low pressure, will be sitting to the east of the country for tuesday. so it's here where we'll see most of the showers, the strongest of the winds, the further west you are, closer to this area of high pressure, then it'll be a little bit quieter. so we start off on a chilly note for tuesday morning. quite a bit of sunshine around. a few showers from the word go across northern and eastern areas, and these showers will affect northern scotland, wintriness on the hills. into the afternoon, some heavier showers, perhaps some hail and thunder affecting the midlands into southeast england. and a fairly breezy day to come, not as windy as monday — those are mean wind speeds. temperature wise, probably a little bit better than monday, up to 13 celsius in the south. so with some light winds, some sunshine, it won't feel too bad, but cooler along north sea coasts, single digits there. tuesday night, we continue to see clear spells, further bands of showers, especially across northern scotland, where it'll turn quite windy again and stay cool as well with some snow on the hills there. touch of frost in some sheltered glens, otherwise, it's quite a chilly night,

i think, to start wednesday morning. so wednesday itself, we'll have some showers draped across eastern areas. these weather fronts may bring some cloud and rain to the far west of the country. and once again, we're in a slightly cooler air mass. wednesday, could be a little bit cooler than tuesday. so we start off on a chilly note, plenty of sunshine around. there will be showers again across northern and eastern scotland, eastern england, more cloud here. and these weather fronts could bring cloud outbreaks of rain to northern ireland. a bit of a question mark to how far eastwards it moves, but it could affect parts of wales and south west england through the afternoon, the best and the brightest through the spine of the country. temperatures range of nine to ii or 12 celsius, so a bit below average. thursday into friday, we see a spell of wet, windy weather across the north of the uk, something drier in the south. and then this area of high pressure wants to build in in time for the weekend. so that will bring a very

much needed quieter, drier spell of weather as we push towards the end of the week. and with a bit more sunshine around, light winds, it'll feel a bit warmer as well.

this is bbc news. we will have the headlines at the top of the hour as newsday continues straight after hardtalk. welcome to hardtalk. i'm stephen sackur. in both israel and iran,

political leaders and military chiefs have a choice to make. do they escalate their conflict further and risk all—out war or step back? following the logic of recent action and reaction, the next key decision will be made in israel. having successfully countered a barrage of iranian missiles, will the netanyahu government seek new levels of retribution and deterrence? well, my guest is danny danon, former israeli un ambassador and ally of prime minister netanyahu. israel's allies are urgently advising against further escalation, but is israel listening?
