6:33 pm
the former prime minister gordon brown has said the fight against anti—semitism goes to the soul of labour, urging action on the issue that has dogged the party for weeks. he called for labour's governing body, which meets this week, to adopt an internationally recognised definition of anti—semitism in full. meanwhile the former chief rabbi, lord sacks, has again criticised jeremy corbyn, saying his speeches were part of the reason some britishjews were considering leaving the country. the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell said that mr corbyn has been misinterpreted. our political correspondent iain watson reports. as a former prime minister, gordon brown intervenes rarely in domestic politics.
6:34 pm
four years ago he spoke out over the future of the country in the scottish referendum. now, with the row over anti—semitism still raging, he says he's speaking out for the future of his party. it's about the soul of the labour party. labour's ruling national executive incorporated an internationally accepted definition of anti—semitism into a code of conduct injuly but didn't include word for word all the examples, angering manyjewish members. those close tojeremy corbyn were concerned that one example claiming the existence of the state of israel is a racist endeavour would restrict the free speech of palestinians. labour's national executive will now discuss the issue again on tuesday and this time gordon brown says there's only one way they can rebuild trust with thejewish community. the international holocaust remembrance alliance definition of anti—semitism is something that we should support unanimously, unequivocally and immediately.
6:35 pm
john landsman is close to that later youtube. he founded momentum. we have an opportunity, we can trust the jewish committee and i hope we will take decisive steps on tuesday. did you wish labour movement held its conference here in north london and it says links between the community and the parties have been stretched to breaking point and prominent voices agree with them. jeremy corbyn must repent and recount as quickly as possible to regain the trust of the public. the shadow chancellor responded with an offer of peace talks. lord sacks,
6:36 pm
you have misinterpreted what's gone on, i have knownjeremy 30 years, his life has been devoted to peace and justice, come and his life has been devoted to peace andjustice, come and meet his life has been devoted to peace and justice, come and meet him and you will understand. but for this mp, something more dramatic is needed to rebuild trust.|j mp, something more dramatic is needed to rebuild trust. i don't thinkjeremy corbyn needed to rebuild trust. i don't think jeremy corbyn can't needed to rebuild trust. i don't thinkjeremy corbyn can't solve the problem because he is the problem. you think he should go?|j problem because he is the problem. you think he should go? i think you should reflect on that but i have come to the view that he cannot solve the problem because he is the problem. senior labour figures want to detoxify the anti—semitism issue that it to detoxify the anti—semitism issue thatitis to detoxify the anti—semitism issue that it is not yet clear if they have found a strong enough antidote. the prime minister has restated her opposition to a second eu referendum and says she won't accept anything in a deal with the brussels that's not in the national interest. writing in a sunday newspaper, ahead of mps returning to parliament this week, theresa may said she would not betray those who voted to leave two years ago.
6:37 pm
here's our political correspondent susana mendonca. she's shown us her moves can be unpredictable, but when it comes to the prospect of a second referendum, theresa may is standing firm and sticking to her tune. the prime minister told the sunday telegraph that two years ago, millions came out to have their say, and to ask the question all over again would be a gross betrayal of our democracy. the eu chief negotiator, michel barnier, has restated today that he is strongly opposed to elements of the deal forged at chequers, but mrs may insisted she wouldn't be pushed into accepting compromises except in the national interest. her former brexit secretary said that left the way open to concessions. that is an incredible open sesame. you're not going to come to the house of commons and say "i agreed this, but that wasn't in the national interest." as parliament prepares to gear up for a new term, rumours of impending leadership challenges continue, as do the divisions among those who stayed inside the government tent.
6:38 pm
the international trade secretary has slapped down the chancellor's gloomy economic predictions, refusing to back philip hammond's warning that in the event of no deal, there would be a reduction of gross domestic product or gdp, which is the measure of everything the economy produces. to say what a gdp figure would be 15 years ahead is not a predictive power that i've known the treasury to have in my time in politics. a series of events like this one in cambridge today have been organised throughout the summer by the people's vote campaign, which is pushing for the public to have a direct say on the final brexit deal. the liberal democrat leader said he thought the prime minister was starting to accept the idea of a second referendum. well, she is rattled. until recently she didn't talk about having a referendum on the final deal. she now knows that opinion is moving in favour of it and she's arguing strongly against it. this week, the cabinet will get back
6:39 pm
around the table and mrs may will embark on the final stretch before a deal with the eu does or doesn't get done. it's bound to be a tough road ahead. susanna mendonca, bbc news. new figures show hundreds of prison staff have been caught smuggling drugs, weapons and other banned items into jails in england and wales over the last six year. the figures, obtained through a freedom of information request by the observer newspaper, show a 50% increase since 2012. ben ando reports. drugs, mobile phones, weapons, tobacco, all considered contraband in prison. friends and drones used to be to blame but figures from the ministry ofjustice show that in the last six years the number of prison officers taking contra band
6:40 pm
last six years the number of prison officers taking contraband into prisons in england and wales has gone up by nearly a half. the figures show that in 2012, 45 prison staff were caught smuggling. but five years later, in 2017, that figure had gone up to 71. and the number of drug finds has trebled, now running at an average of 35 every day. despite a recruitment drive to bring in 200,000 new prison officers, there has been what some call a perfect storm of over 12 staff and vulnerable officers. the reduction in numbers means there are fewer people to interdict the supply of drugs and find out who's behind it, but the way of life for prisoners has become more restricted, meaning you have a lot of board and demoralised people for whom drugs offer a way out. in july, inspectors found that
6:41 pm
wandsworth prison in london, the most overcrowded in britain, had stopped scanning visitors for drugs and other banned items due to a lack of staff. the same month a 25—year—old prison officer was jailed for smuggling contraband into forest bank prison in salford, greater manchester. prison bosses say these figures represent the actions of a tiny minority, and that most of their staff are ha rd—working and honest. but coupled with record levels of violence and drug seizures and suicides, this increases the impression is of a prison service in crisis. ben ando, bbc news, at the ministry ofjustice. let's take a brief look at some of the day's other news. a 16—year—old boy has suffered serious and potentially life—changing injuries after being sprayed in the face with an unknown substance. police say the attack at the cribbs causeway shopping centre in bristol yesterday evening happened while the teenager was having a dispute with someone. the islamist militant group al shabab says it was responsible for a car bomb attack in somalia, when a vehicle containing explosives was driven towards a government
6:42 pm
building in the capital, mogadishu. at least three people were killed and several schoolchildren injured. the united states says it is cancelling $300 million of military aid to pakistan. it says the government there is failing to deal adequately with militant groups in the country. the us secretary of state is due to meet the new pakistani prime minister, imran khan, this week. video games which allow players to buy extra items or features while they're playing — so called in—game purchases — will have to carry a warning on their packaging from christmas. it follows concerns about children racking up debts while playing, as angus crawford explains. gaming and spending. matthew, who doesn't want to be identified, used to play 12 hours a day and paid out thousands of pounds. he worries about the effect on children. a lot of game companies will tell you this game is to be enjoyed but actually behind it is a very stringent business that's there to make lots of money so they will target people young, get them into a game and then make them want to spend money
6:43 pm
to progress, and if they feel left behind, it then starts to affect them emotionally and psychologically. many games allow players to buy things like better guns, new characters or extra features, using real, not digital money. children can run up big bills, and some parents don't find out until it's too late. and now the european ratings body, pegi, has decided to act. from christmas, video game boxes will carry this new warning logo, but will it make any difference? if you have to buy the game and within the game to actually play the game and make the most fun out of that game, you have to spend a lot more money, i think the customer should be informed about that, so yeah, i agree. all the games these days, everything comes with add—ons, you know, and in—app purchases, so it's a good idea to warn people but at the same time people should probably expect it anyway i think. gaming can seem more like gambling.
6:44 pm
and with regulators circling, this new warning is perhaps a sign of the industry taking action before it's forced to. angus crawford, bbc news. now with all the sport, here'sjohn watson at the bbc sport centre. england have beaten india by 60 runs in the fourth test to seal the series with one match remaining. the wicket of virat kohli appeared the turning point on day four as india threatened to chase down the 2li5 runs needed for victory. james burford was watching. as the dust settled on a frantic morning session, england put their heads together. seven wickets needed to win this series, that virat kohli set about frustrating england's bowlers. he may well earn man of the series, another box office 50 from
6:45 pm
india's captain. spinner naveen ali was thrill of his own tracks, perhaps where others failed, he would prevail —— moeen ali. cue the batting collapse. six wickets for just 43 runs, everything falling into england's hands, until a fitting finale, sam curran, that has to feel good, taking an unassailable 3-1 to feel good, taking an unassailable 3—1 lead with much still to play, england have beaten the number one side in the world. five people were injured trying to escape a crush entering celtic park before today's old firm derby. steven gerrard's unbeaten start as rangers manager ending in a 1—0 defeat as he came up against his former manager brendan rodgers. chris mclaughlin reports. a fixture that really need a subplot got one anywhere, brought together
6:46 pm
and united by glover pool. steven gerrard said he was ready for the toughest of tests but players were battered by champions and saved by the crossbar. eight stunning save after the break and rangers breathe again but eventually they buckled. claims for a foul work waved away. relief for a support spoiled by success relief for a support spoiled by success but fearful of a rangers revival. he's done a good job so early on with his team, they were ha rd to early on with his team, they were hard to beat and numbers behind the ball so we had to be patient and find a way through but the scoreline doesn't really reflect our dominance in the game. it's as you were. brendan rodgers and celtic roll on. a bannerflown in protest at manchester united executive vice chairman ed woodward preceded their 2—0 over burnley in the premier league.
6:47 pm
a section of the club's fans labelling him a specialist in failure. back to back defeats had made this united's worst start to a season in 26 years but two goals from romelu lukaku will have lifted the mood around the club. there were wins for arsenal and watford as well today — the latterjoining liverpool and chelsea at the top of the table with a 2—1 win over tottenham with four wins from four matches. and lewis hamilton extended his championship lead, overtaking both ferraris in their home grand prix to win in italy. starting from third, he forced title rival sebastien vettel to spin off before passing kimi raikonen late in the race to claim his sixth win of the season, moving 30 points clear in the title race. there's plenty more on the bbc sport website, for now, back to you, mishal. and i will be back with the late news at 10pm. now,

labour party in the battle for the soul. he insisted that labour would resolve the issue, let's listen now to some of what he said at the labour movement. i want to congratulate you, pioneers, when the labour party was not even a successful opposition party in cheese and be part of the party. and i want to thank you, all of you here. on behalf of the british people for your courage and your resilience and dignity and standing up resilience and dignity and standing up to anti—semitism. and i learned that first—hand of the depths of depravity of what happened to to the horrors of the holocaust. i learned about the horrors that were visited on people from the youngest to the old est on people from the youngest to the oldest members of the community and

6:52 pm
same time, we must be honest with ourselves and recognise that racism and anti—semitism, yes it is a problem of the right, but it is also a problem of the conspiracy theory left. and that is why we need proper political education so that our movement is cleansed of anti—semitism and racism in the future. if he could make progress on these things, we should be able to say is a government, we should be able to combat internationally, do more than the president and learning and the recommendation and the quality of the commission in 2016 and say that this country still needs a comprehensive strategy that labour government should implement against anti—semitism and racism, and all places and that is what the
