57,000 people lining up behind me here in newcastle to take part in the 38th great north run. hello, a very good morning to you. attack on theresa may's brexit plans comparing her strategy to putting the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson has launched a fresh attack on theresa may's brexit plans comparing her strategy to putting the uk in a suicide vest and handing the detonator to brussels. writing in the mail on sunday, mrjohnson said ‘we have opened ourselves to perpetual political blackmail‘. he went on to say... his language has already been
10:02 am
criticised by some conservative mps. the foreign office minister, alan duncan called his remarks ‘disgusting'. let's get more detail on this from our political correspondent, helen catt. helen, tell us more about what he is saying in this article. this is borisjohnson, never known saying in this article. this is boris johnson, never known for underplaying a colourful phrase and we get more on that sort of language, talking about theresa may chequers proposal which he resigned from the cabinet over, he called it a humiliation and said it would make the uk look like a weakling. that is the uk look like a weakling. that is the standard language you would expect to get an borisjohnson but it's whether or not he went a metaphor too far, that's when he was talking about the government's commitment to keeping frictionless trade along the irish border. he decided to employ this metaphor of eight suicide vest saint theresa may would be wrapping a suicide vest around the british constitution and
10:03 am
handing the detonator to the eu. as you mentioned that has seen some vocal backlash from conservative mps, siralan duncan vocal backlash from conservative mps, sir alan duncan worked with borisjohnson at mps, sir alan duncan worked with boris johnson at the mps, sir alan duncan worked with borisjohnson at the foreign office, he said it marked a disgusting moment in british foreign politics, tom tugendhat, himself a former serving army officer and on the foreign affairs select committee, strong condemnation from him, he tweeted ascribing a suicide bomb his soul in helmand province, comparing the prime minister to that was not funny and some need to grow up. not eve ryo ne funny and some need to grow up. not everyone has been quite so strong in their criticism, james broken shower community secretary has criticised his tone, sajid javid home secretary speaking to andrew marr stopped short of criticising quite so vocally. i think there are much better ways to articulate your differences. i think it's a reminder i think for all of us in public policy whichever political party we
10:04 am
represent to use measured language because i think that's what the public want to see. in terms of measured language, it's the first time i've asked you about this, would you approve of the women who we re would you approve of the women who were added nijab or pick up as letter boxes? it's not language i would use. do you think he has a language problem. you would have to get him on the programme. do you think he is islamophobic? say that ain? think he is islamophobic? say that again? do you think he is islamophobic? no, i have known him a numberof islamophobic? no, i have known him a number of years islamophobic? no, i have known him a numberof years and islamophobic? no, i have known him a number of years and i think he loves britain's communities, no matter for it they come from. do you think you would be a leader for the conservative party? the conservative party is not looking for a leader, we are lucky to have a very good leader and she is the prime minister of this country and doing a great job. that was the home secretary on the andrew marr show, he may say the party is not looking for a new leader but boris johnson party is not looking for a new leader but borisjohnson may have other ideas, there is speculation he
10:05 am
is preparing a leadership bid and this article on some would say, paves the way for that leadership bid. absolutely, most things boris johnson says at the moment are being viewed through that prism of his leadership ambitions, this was certainly an article designed to cause a stir and there will be those who love this tone of phrase and those who hated as we have seen but what it does it gets him on the front pages and he is a politician that has come through with the public that many other aspiring conservative leaders can only dream of. all of this at a time in his private life has been under scrutiny. claims in the sunday times today that downing street have a sort of dossier, 4000 word oscillate to use against him. this is what the sunday times describes as a 4000 word board book which covers areas like his love life, other personal matters and it was said to have started circulating in westminster last week despite being written in 2016. of course last week was when we got the revelations about his
10:06 am
private life, in the papers, which some have said may have hindered his leadership ambitions, others thought that might get the bad news at first. downing street has categorically denied the league the dossier to undermine boris johnson, they say it is offensive and 100% on truth to suggest they leaked it. helen, thank you. now let's go to newcastle. the great north run is getting under way. almost in the next couple of minutes. tens of thousands of people registered to ta ke thousands of people registered to take part, among them sir mo farah, four—time 0lympic take part, among them sir mo farah, four—time olympic champion, bidding for a fifth consecutive victory. let's go to the start line, there is at reporter alison freeman. alison... hello, the sun is shining and it's starting to get very busy 110w. and it's starting to get very busy now. the 57,000 people started lining up at the start line but we've managed to grab a couple of the slightly more colourful entrance

10:12 am
it is considering his call for extra resources. there was high drama at the us 0pen tennis last night. naomi 0saka won the women's title, but that's a side story to what's happened on court. her opponent, serena williams, had a huge row with the umpire. the 23 times grand slam champion was warned for smashing her racket, docked a point for a coaching violation, and then docked a game for calling the umpire a thief. patrick geary has the details. you owe me an apology. you owe me an apology! i have never cheated in my life. i have a daughter, i stand up for what is right for her. this was not the story tennis wanted or expected. serena williams furious at being warned for receiving coaching, then penalised again for verbal abuse of the umpire. all this in a match she'd hoped would take her to grand slam 24. it cruelly overshadowed a sensational victory for 20—year—old naomi 0saka, playing in a final she had only dreamed of and outclassing a player she idolised as a girl.
10:13 am
serena williams' journey back from childbirth and life—threatening blood clots just a year ago is remarkable in itself, but when this was interpreted as coaching, her fury grew through the second set. you stole a point from me. you're a thief, too. the escalating row brought in the referees, then cost williams again, leaving 0saka an awkward bystander in all of this, serving for the title. an amazing victory and first grand slam, for ever soundtracked by surround—sound anger. her proudest day tinged with no little sadness. patrick gearey, bbc news. rules which prevent some victims of crime from being compensated if they lived with their attacker are being scrapped by the ministry ofjustice. the "same roof rule" was changed in 1979, but not retrospectively, meaning victims from before that time have been refused payouts. last year, more than a 150—million
10:14 am
pounds was paid out by the scheme. here's our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw. after a violent crime, what happens to the victims? for over 50 years, they have been able to claim compensation under a scheme funded by the state. but the government says the system needs modernising to reflect the changing nature of crime, so it is starting a review. the criminal injuries compensation scheme review will examine the two—year time limit on bringing claims, if people with convictions for certain offences should be barred from compensation, and whether sexual grooming victims should be able to make claims. currently, they can't. following a court case this summer, ministers are also promising to scrap the so—called same roof rule. it blocks compensation claims from victims who lived with their attacker before 1979. last year's terror attacks highlighted concerns about compensation for victims who had suffered many different types of injury.
10:15 am
so the review will look at whether payments are set at the right level. whitehall budgets are tight. the review will consider if the compensation scheme is sustainable and if the proposed changes are affordable. danny shaw, bbc news. polls have opened in sweden in a general election dominated by the rise of an anti—immigration party. the nationalist sweden democrats, stand a good chance of becoming the second biggest party in parliament. their campaigning has focused on immigration and crime. the social democrat prime minister, stefan luveyn , has accused the sweden democrats of extremism and said that a vote for the right—wing party is "dangerous". 0ur europe correspondent gavin lee has spent the morning in the swedish capital, stockholm. what we have seen is a reflex
10:16 am
of similar circumstances in other countries in europe, the issues of migration and here in sweden, the sweden democrats are the emergent party, talking about the worry of crime, a spike in gun crime and gang crime, conflating that with migration. it's an issue because back in 2015 sweden saw the most migrants enter this country per capita, 163,000, the government put restrictive measures in place and what was supposed to be a schengen free border travel area, there are checks on the borders and those temporary checks are still in place and while the established parties say other factors are in place like wild fires over the summer, social welfare, housing, stopping increased privatisation, it has been the centrifugal force coming back to migration, the social democrats the main party, according to the polls will see their biggest slip in 70
10:17 am
years in politics, expecting the lowest result about 20%, the centre—right moderates expecting 20% with the sweden democrats around the same figure. some say they could be the highest party and their leader saying they are not racist, the other parties saying they are toxic and they would not work with them if by the polls ending tonight at 8pm, they have to look at coalition politics. the headlines on bbc news... boris johnson attacks the prime minister's brexit plans saying she has wrapped the country in a suicide vest and handed the detonator to brussels. high drama at the us 0pen as serena williams loses her cool and the final. rules which prevented some victims
10:18 am
of crime from claiming compensation if they lived with their attacker are to scrapped. are to be scrapped. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly hamilton. good morning. it should have been naomi 0saka's night after claiming victory in the us open final — but it was serena williams who's been grabbing the headlines after she accused the umpire of sexism and treating her unfairly. williams was cited by the official for three code violations including getting coaching signals, breaking her racket, and for calling the chair umpire a thief, which cost her a game. i can't sit here and say i wouldn't say he was a thief, because i thought he took a game from me. but i've seen other men call other umpires several things, and i'm here fighting for women's rights and women's equality, and for all kinds of stuff. and for me to say "thief"
10:19 am
and for him to take a game, it made me feel like it was a sexist remark. he has never taken a game from a man because they said thief. i mean, it blows my mind. but i'm going to continue to fight for women and to fight for us to have equal... like, cornet should be able to take her shirt off without getting a fine. this is outrageous. and i just feel like the fact that i have to go through this is just an example for the next person that has emotions and that want to express themselves, that want to be a strong woman, and they are going to be allowed to do that because of today. maybe it didn't work out for me but it will work out for the next person. well, naomi 0saka was reduced to tears as she accepted her first grand slam trophy. the ceremony was met with a chorus of boos from williams' home us open crowd, who had been unhappy with her treatment during the match. for me it felt like a normal match walking up to the net, but it is serena on the other side
10:20 am
and she hugged me and it was really awesome. when i step onto the court i feel like a different person. i am not a serena fan, i am just a tennis player. but when i hugged her, i'm sorry... anyways, when i hugged her at the net, i felt... like a little kid again. sorry. so naomi 0saka does become the first japanese woman to win a grand slam. these were the scenes in tokyo as fans gathered to watch her make history. the 20—year old no doubt hoping it will be the first of many majors. britain's jamie murray won a fourth grand slam mixed doubles title alongside partner bethanie mattek—sands. the pair had to fight back from a set down against croatia's nikola mektic
10:21 am
and poland's alicja rosolska, before going on to win the championship tie—break11—9. and congratulations to alfie hewett and gordon reid won the wheelchair doubles title and andy lapthorne who won the quad wheelchair doubles, with partner david wagner. england were beaten 2—1 by spain at wembley in the nations league, their first match since the world cup. they made the perfect start when marcus rashford, one of three changes to the side that lost against croatia, opened the scoring. spain manged to level just two minutes later and rodrigo moreno then took advantage of poor marking at a free—kick to score the winner from close range after 32 minutes. we've got to keep faith in the way we are trying to play, otherwise we go back to what we did historically. there is no way i believe we will
10:22 am
ever be a top team if we do that. so we've got to be brave enough to stick to our principles. and, you know, just get better at what we are doing and identify how we improve. but that is not going to be an easy task, because you can see the level of the top teams and i said right across the summer we are under no illusions about that. northern ireland had a disappointing start to their nations league campaign losing 2—1 to bosnia—herzegovina. michael 0'neill‘s side had the better of the early chances but it was the visitors who opened the scoring and then made it 2—0 after a defensive mix—up. wigan‘s will grigg did pull a goal back in injury time but it turned out to be just a consolation. england fast bowlerjames anderson has been fined 15% of his match fee for showing dissent at an umpire's decision during the fifth and final test against india. he was sanctioned over his reaction to virat kohli being given not out after review during india's first innings. going into the third day india are 174—6 in reply
10:23 am
to england's first innings of 332. england already have an unassailable 3—1 lead in the series. anderson is just three wickets away from overtaking australia's glenn mcgrath as the most successful fast bowler in the history of the game. the first time i got recalled at lord's, an unbelievable opportunity to come back in and play. fire was really burning for test cricket. i was very excited. i think that has been the best thing about it, being able to maintain that and feel very privileged to play. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. holly, thank you. it's 23 minutes past ten. more now on brexit —
10:24 am
and the chief constable of the police service of northern ireland, george hamilton, has accused the government of failing to prepare for the potential impact which the uk's departure from the european union could have on peace and security at the irish border, spelling out his concerns in an interview with the sunday times. 0ur correspondent louise cullen is in belfast. this isn't new from george hamilton, he's been telling the government of the past year they need to prepare for peace and security in northern ireland in the event of the border being resurrected. ithink ireland in the event of the border being resurrected. i think these remarks are being aired with an increasing amount of frustration, he said back in june increasing amount of frustration, he said back injune the psni has a business plan to address these problems, he wants 400 more officers, more vehicles and equipment are personal one signing off on that and no one giving him an answer. the government has recognised there is a unique situation for the psni and says it is looking at his concerns because of that land border but george
10:25 am
hamilton in this article says 20 yea rs hamilton in this article says 20 years up to the good friday agreement 600 days after the colla pse agreement 600 days after the collapse of the assembly, there may bea collapse of the assembly, there may be a feeling that although the hats the troubles may be regarded as result and things are quieter, they are still policing this border 20 47, he calls it a high threat border and says it's still very tricky to address the concerns but he fears some in government regard it as peripheral both geographically and in terms of impact. he says that's absolutely not the case, the border is resurrect that it will be exploited by criminals and terrorists, even when such as modelling which he thinks the government may regard as small, that is the lifeblood of terrorist organisations and it needs to be planned for and anticipated. louise, thank you. north korea has held a military parade to mark its 70th anniversary without displaying intercontinental
10:26 am
ballistic missiles. there were tanks, weapons and thousands of goose—stepping soldiers parading through the streets of pyongyang to show their devotion to their leader, kim jong—un. but the event focused on peace and economic development, with doctors, nurses and engineers taking part on colourful floats. the parade comes at a sensitive time as efforts to ease tensions with the united states have stalled. 0ur correspondent laura bicker in the south korean capital seoul — she told talked to me a little earlier about the significance of that decision not to parade ballistic missiles. a little bit of a softer approach, not what we've come to expect on many occasions from north korea but as you rightly point out there were those tanks, artillery, weapons, those tanks, artillery, weapons, those goose—stepping soldiers but missing were the intercontinental ballistic missile test which many believe are capable of reaching the united states. but showing them at
10:27 am
this sensitive time would perhaps have provoked the us. this is a time for north korea is trying to be a bit more diplomatic, trying to talk to donald trump. they want something, they want an end to the korean war. that ended in 53, the fighting did at least but it ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty. and now kimjong—un not only ones that peace treaty but he wants economic sanctions lifted. so the message that he is sending with his people and the international community with this parade is we are focused on the economy, not on building weapons. of course in june we have the stomach with kim jong—un and donald trump and singapore, donald trump saying the world was a safer place as the result, kim jong—un promising de neutralisation, what has happened to all but since then? where are we with prospects of denuclearisation of the korean
10:28 am
peninsula? all the talks seem to have come to a bit of a grinding halt, the problem is this. it's the starting point, where do we come from here? north korea wants up peace treaty, the end of war declaration, the us wants north korea to give up its weapons. until then to make a move forward seems to be this gap in the middle, coming through to try to save these talks is the south korean president mean, he will to pyongyang in a couple of weeks for a three—day visit. he will hope to try to make progress but it's worth pointing out as he does so, he has in the past, he will fly to new york to the un general assembly when he meets with mr trump, south korea is trying to do is get the sites to step forward. is he going to be successful? it seems kimjong—un wants to make he going to be successful? it seems kim jong—un wants to make some kind of deal, this parade, toned down parade would try to signal that but it will be interesting to see what
10:29 am
the united states is prepared to give in return. now it's time for a look at the weather with tomas after the grey and damp start this morning it looks as if the weather will improve. it's been a grey start, rain around, breezy, will get windy across scotland tonight. the low pressure between the uk and iceland is moving, barrelling through to the north—west, sending strong winds and frequent showers. to the south, quiet weather, on the south coast today looking beautiful, breezy around the coasts, especially inland. plenty of sunshine on the way, 23 in london, scattering of showers from the midlands, northwards but more frequent, the north of northern ireland, across scotland as well. gusting winds later today in the western isles and throughout scotland, the gusts exceeding 50 miles an hour and places. tomorrow, the bulk of the country
