borisjohnson for saying that theresa may's brexit policy has "wrapped a suicide vest" around the british consitution and "handed the detonator" to the eu. the foreign office minister sir alan duncan has described the comment as "one of the most disgusting moments" in british politics. our political correspondent helen catt reports. borisjohnson is a man usually at home in the spotlight, but with divisions over brexit and his own leadership ambitions, the former foreign secretary may have had more than just the cricket on his mind on a trip to the oval yesterday. and he appeared to get a mixed reception. borisjohnson has rarely been out of the headlines this week. this morning, there were further allegations about his personal life. but mrjohnson chose to use an article in the mail on sunday to drop his own bombshell.

he claimed that through a backstop proposalfor the irish border, we had opened ourselves to the perpetual political blackmail. we have wrapped a suicide vest around the british constitution and handed the detonator to michel barnier. the former foreign secretary's language brought a furious response from a minister he worked alongside until mrjohnson‘s resignation in july. siralan duncan said, for boris to say that the pm's view is like that of a suicide bomber is too much. this marks one of the most disgusting moments in modern british politics. some of his former cabinet colleagues, though, have stopped short of criticising the man, focusing instead on his tone. i think there are much better ways to articulate your differences, and i think it's a reminder for all of us in public policy, whatever political party we represent, to use measured language. i think that's what the public wants to see. supporters of borisjohnson have defended what he said. i think boris says it as he sees it and i think it's how a lot of people

see it but very few dare to call it. he speaks the truth to power and i am not surprised they resent that and there's a backlash. boris johnson's star status in the party has been based on his ability to appeal to voters that other tories simply do not. the real test will be not how his comments are perceived in westminster, but beyond. helen catt, bbc news. i've been speaking to the sinn fein politician mairtin o'muilleoir. who is in belfast — where the issue of the irish border remains a concern for many following the brexit negotiations. i asked him for his response to mrjohnson‘s comments. here in belfast, the majority of people would see the comments as being foolish and dangerous, when we say they are foolish, borisjohnson seems determined to attack the concept and the guarantee indeed by the british government of a backstop here in the north of ireland.

that is post brexit and we wish the british well with brexit, but we voted to remain and the agreement with the eu 27 and mrs may has been that we will remain in the customs union, we will remain largely in the single market and we will defend the good friday agreement to avoid a hard border in ireland. mrjohnson this morning disparages, disregards that guarantee and in that he is foolish, because the eu of course regard the peace process here as a crowning achievement of the eu and they will do everything they can to defend the integrity of the good friday agreement and to make sure that we are not cast back into the dark past from which we have emerged. i think they are dangerous comments as well, because everything we have and i havejust walked through belfast this afternoon to the studios, we have a booming tourism economy, we have cranes above belfast, the biggest university campus, £200 million being built

in the heart of belfast, all the gains and reconciliation, bridge building, they are all built on the good friday agreement and yet, boris johnson says that there is no need to defend the good friday agreement and we should not worry about destroying the good friday agreement, which is what the reckless brexiteers would do. you used the word dangerous, give us a vision of what you think could be the consequences of going down the kind of line that borisjohnson is suggesting. well, anyone who does not understand how fragile the piece well, anyone who does not understand how fragile the peace here is and how fragile the progress is that we have made, must not be watching the news, because for 600 days we have not been able to form a local government because fault lines within the society remain. thankfully, courtesy of the good friday agreement signed in 1998, which is the heart of what europe wants to protect through the backstop,

thankfully, courtesy of that, there is no longer any violence on our streets, but we still have a long way to go to form the type of forward—looking, outward looking government we need and anyone who tries to undermine the good friday agreement and that is what the brexiteers want, they want to torpedo it and anyone who wishes to do that, risks jeopardising every game we have made, that is the view risks jeopardising every gain we have made, that is the view of the irish government and the majority of parties here and it is certainly the view of the majority who voted to remain in the european union and in that context, these are dangerous comments, the sort of comments we are used to from the brexiteers and in many ways, it really reveals the true brexiteer agenda, which is, they do not care at all about rejecting the peace and progress that has been made here over 20 years. mairtin o'muilleoir speaking to me

earlier. the trade unions have said they will back the campaign for a referendum on the final brexit deal if the government fails to secure an agreement that protects jobs and the economy. the tuc general secretary, frances o'grady, warned that crashing out of the eu without a deal would be an "absolute disaster" for workers. today, i'm giving the prime minister fair warning. i am serving notice that if her deal doesn't deliver for working people, if it doesn't protectjobs, rights at work and peace in northern ireland, then the tuc will throw our weight behind the call for a vote on the terms of the deal. our politicial correspondent iain watson has spent the morning in manchester where the unions are holding their annual conference. frances o'grady, the leader of the tuc knows that not every union wants to have a new referendum, so she was very clear that there are circumstances which would trigger it if a deal that comes back from brussels is unacceptable, for example, or if the prime

minister does not extend the talks to try and get a better deal. nonetheless, listen to that language, putting her full weight behind the popular vote. that will put a lot of pressure on the labour leadership. there is pressure onjeremy corbyn from some of his own activists to debate this in a couple of weeks' time at their annual conference, for labour to harden its position on this idea of having a new referendum on the eu. so having the leader of the trade union movement representing some of the big trade unions who will be at that labour conference, saying that they are prepared to campaign to get that referendum, i think, is significant. but as i say, not every trade union agrees with this and we spoke to the leader of the rail union, the rmt, who had backed brexit. he warned his fellow trade unionists that quite simply something which may be a new vote on a final deal, will look like a second referendum, that will look potentially like the tuc is ignoring the will of the people and he said, to frances o'grady and her colleagues, labour, if they adopt that position, as well, would be playing with fire. it should have been

naomi osaka'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 inlcuding getting coaching signals, breaking her racquet, and for calling the chair umpire a thief, which cost her a game. patrick gearey reports. this was not the story tennis wanted oi’ this was not the story tennis wanted or expected. serena williams furious at being worn for receiving coaching and then penalised again for verbal abuse. all this in a match that she hoped would take to grand slam 24. it overshadowed a sensational victory for naomi osaka, playing in a final she had only dream love and outclassing a player she had

idolised. serena williams journey back from childbirth and life—threatening blood clots is remarkable. herfury life—threatening blood clots is remarkable. her fury grew through the second set. the escalating row brought in the referees and then caused williams a game leaving naomi osaka and awkward bystander in this serving for the title. an amazing victory and first grand slam, forever soundtrack by surround sound angen forever soundtrack by surround sound anger. her pride at stake tinged with no little sadness. patrick geary, bbc news. sweden is voting in a general election thats been dominated by the rise of an anti—immigration party. jimmie akesson‘s 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, stay—fun luh—vain , who cast his vote at the parliament building accuses the sweden democrats of extremism and says that a vote for the right—wing party is "dangerous". we wa nt

we want to keep investing in our investment and it is also about decency, but a decent democracy. the social democrats is a guarantee, we are not letting the sweden democrats extremist party, racist party, get any influence on the government. stefa n lofve n any influence on the government. stefan lofven there. earlier we spoke to our correspondent in stockholm. and a little earlier we spoke to our europe correspondent gavin lee, who has spent the morning in the swedish capital, stockholm. they are using the issues of migration and here in sweden, the sweden democrats are the emergent parties, who are talking about the worry of crimes, gun crime, gang crime in malmo and gothenberg,

conflating that with migration. it is an issue because sweden, back in 2013, saw the most migrants enter this country per capita, 106 to 3000 and then the government put restrictive measures in place and what was supposed to be a schengen border free travel area, suddenly there attacks at the borders and they are still in place and whilst they are still in place and whilst the established parties say there are other issues at play, the climate, there have been wildfires, theissues climate, there have been wildfires, the issues of social welfare, housing and health and stopping increasing privatisation, it has been the centrifugal force it comes back to, migration. the main party are according to the polls will see their biggest slip in 70 years in politics, expecting their lowest result, about 20%, the centre—right moderates also expecting around 20% with the sweden democrats around the same figure, some saying that they could be the highest party and their leaders saying they are not racist, the other poor party saying they are toxic and they would not work with

them, if by the polls ending tonight, they have to start looking at coalition politics. gavin lee reporting. religious education in english schools is outdated and needs to be overhauled to include non—religious beliefs according to a new report. the independent commission on re wants children to learn about atheism and humanism as well as world faiths. the department for education said it would look at the recommendations. north korea has staged a huge military parade to mark its 70th anniversary as a nation. events such as these are usually an opportunity to show off military hardware, but on this occasion it held back from displaying its missiles and devoted the parade to civilians efforts to build the economy. the parade comes at a sensitive time as efforts to ease tensions between the united states and north korea have stalled. from seoul, laura bicker reports. the soldiers marched with their usual zeal, a disciplined display perfected after months of painful practice. it is meant to show devotion.

these pilots certainly gave it their all. there was something missing from kimjung un‘s parade. he may have rolled out the tanks and artillery but there was no sign of intercontinental ballistic missiles, the subject of international sanctions. this less provocative display reflects kimjung un‘s recent charm offensive. he has written another letter to the us president to try and get talks back on track. once again, here he is playing the diplomat, this time showing off his friendship with china. the remaining fervour was saved for its economic prowess, nurses, doctors, engineers were all part of the occasion. but the invited cameras are told where to point, amidst the waving pyongyang elite. outside the city, there are fears that north korea is on the verge of a food crisis as crops fail

after a heatwave. the kim family show the world only what they want it to see, like the missiles, so much is hidden from view and until that changes, the international community will find it difficult to trust. laura bicker, bbc news, in seoul. 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, voting is under way in the swedish general election, with an anti—immigration party expected to make large gains. north korea stages a huge military parade to celebrate the country's 70th anniversary — but its long range missiles are left out of the show of strength. in sport, alastair cook box out for

a glove for the final time. england have a 41 lead after bowling india out. this is the final test against india at the oval. serena williams outburst in her final prompts calls for the rows of tennis to be looked at. she was beaten by naomi osaka after receiving three code violations including one for verbal abuse to the umpire whom she called abuse to the umpire whom she called a thief. mo farah wins the great north run for a record fifth time setting a new course record. i will have more sport in one hour. thank you. thejustice secretary david gauke has said he thinks as many prisoners as possible should be given phones in their cells. inmates would be able to dial only pre—approved numbers and would still have to pay for the calls. however the minister has called the idea "a real game—changer" in improving behaviour — citing similar measures already in place in prisons in germany. mark fairhurst from the prison officers association

said prison schemes don't go far enough this was put on a back burner and has reared its head and we are talking about 20 per prisons, but there are still 100 prisoners without this technology including telephones. do you think it would be a good idea? it would give prisoners more contact with their families and potentially stop areas of friction and tension which cause problems? i feel he has got his priorities wrong. the priorities are safe prisons. safe for staff and safe for prisoners and that includes giving members the tools to do theirjob and that is why we will be insisting that a spray scheme is rolled out immediately in order to protect our members, but it is also about reinstating the retirement age to 60, because we have to work in the most hostile and violent

workplace in western europe. in cell technology including phones is a good idea because it will help prisoners maintain those important family links even when there is regime restrictions and of course when we have to go into lockdown. just before we move onto some of the other issues, on the focus on in cell telephony, at the moment, what is the situation for most prisoners if they want to make a call to their families? it must be very frustrating for most prisoners when they do not have a phone in their cell to maintain that contact, because there are a lot of restrictions because we simply have not got the staffing levels we did have to operate a full regime and of course they have very limited access to phone calls on landlines and we hope this will help restore order and improve behaviour. welcome to that idea but as the justice secretary starts to look more widely at prisons and changes, you have plenty of suggestions for him about things you would like to see with more urgency, perhaps.

i have been waiting for a meeting with him for at least three months and he keeps avoiding me, i don't know why. maybe it is because i will tell him straight that my members will not accept no for an answer, if he refuses to roll out the scheme that has been very successful in the pilotjails. he needs to start listening to me and my members. just because people at home may not be familiar, tell us more about that spray scheme. it is an irritant, the pepper spray that the police use on the streets to protect themselves and reduce violence. we have been piloting in fourjails and the results have been positive. it is essential that this is rolled out to every front line member of staff in our prisons. why do you think that there has been reluctance to make that happen? i have no idea, that is something you will have to ask the justice secretary. maybe he is scared of the public outcry, but i'm sure the public

would be on our side if they saw the level of violence, we are getting assaulted, 24 people per day, we are suffering from ptsd, receiving life—changing injuries and that cannot be tolerated. i cannot placate my members for much longer. he needs to sit down with me and listen and he needs to act. given your reservations about the fact you have not been able to meet with him, what to make generally what do you make generally about the justice secretary? we know that they come and go with alarming regularity, are you hopeful that you might see some change and some more receptive ears your suggestions? listen, we have not got a problem with any prison minister, he has got some positive ideas and it seems like he is prepared to invest in the prison system. he needs to invest in the right things and the right things at the moment are getting our prisons safe, enabling prisoners to access a full regime and maintaining theirfamily contacts, in all prisons, not just 20.

let us sort out this crisis in our prisons instead of letting it escalate month after month. mark fairhurst, thank you very much. fresh protests are being held in russia against pension reforms which will see the retirement age rise by five years. the jailed opposition leader alexei navalny called for the protests to voice anger over the reforms. his supporters claim he was jailed to stop him from leading the rallies. up to five bodies, including of children, have been found in a house in perth in western australia. investigators went to the house after a man in his 20s presented himself to a regional police station. police described the incident as "tragic" but said there were no ongoing safety concerns. it is not known whether the victims were related. the investigation is ongoing. 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 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. 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. the british star, olivia colman, has been named best actress at this year's venice film festival for her portrayal of queen anne in "the favourite", which is due for release in the uk next year. the festival's top award the golden lion went to a black—and—white spanish—language drama called "roma". it brings netflix its first major festival victory and seals the online streaming company's reputation as a big name in arthouse movies. laura westbrook reports. alfonso cuaron‘s roma is a deeply

personal black—and—white memoir. it was inspired by his childhood in the roma district of mexico city and the film seems to have inspired thejudges, too. alfonso cuaron for roma. taking the top prize at the venice film festival. it was a decision that was reached entirely unanimously by the entire jury. so 9—0. i am the queen. but you are mad. the favourite, which, like roma, focuses predominantly on female characters, took the grand jury prize. it's star, olivia colman, received the best actress award for her portrayal of queen anne. best actor went to willem dafoe, who played vincent van gogh in the biopic at eternity‘s gate. despite stories about women dominating the festival, only one of the films was directed by a woman.

jennifer kent took the specialjury prize for the nightingale, a revenge thriller set in 19th—century tasmania. and she made a plea in her acceptance speech. i would just also like to say to all those women out there wanting to make films, please go and do it, we need you. applause. however, the talk of the night was most certainly netflix. roma was one of six netflix films that premiered here and it is the first big win for the streaming service at a major festival. cannes banned netflix from its competition. the online giant has been attacked for its strategy of making films available for streaming on the same day they are released in cinemas. while some worry about what that would do to the movie industry, alfonso cuaron sees it as an opportunity. this is a film that is in black—and—white, in spanish and mixteco, in mexican.

with no recognisable actors or stars. and they are giving a huge, huge international push for this film. releasing it both streaming and also theatrical. not any company does that. as the conversation about the future of film continues, what does seem certain is that we will hear more about roma as the awards season approaches. laura westbrook, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav danaos. hello. today has been a better day regarding dry and bright weather. it has felt warmer. into this evening and overnight, it will be windy across scotland, gusts getting up to
