The Conservative Party leadership contest in the UK ended a bruising first week with the remaining five candidates going head to head in a televised debate.

Voting by Conservative legislators is due to continue next week until there are two candidates, who will face a runoff vote among all Conservative party members.

The winner of the party race is to be announced on September 5 and will automatically become prime minister.
