this is bbc news. the headlines. 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 open as serena williams loses her cool and the final. also in the news today... north korea stages a huge military display to celebrate it's 70th anniversary. but the country's long range missiles weren't part of the display of power. voting is under way in the swedish general election, with an anti—immigration party expected to make large gains. and sir mo farah wins the great north run for a record breaking 5th consecutive time, kenya's vivian cheruiyot wins the women's race. senior conservatives have criticised 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, borisjohnson 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 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 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 business correspondent colletta smith is in manchester where the unions are holding their annual conference. shejoins me now. a real warning shot fired there. yes. this isjust

the start of the tuc conference and brexit is taking centre stage. it is a stronger warning than we expected, a stronger warning than we expected, a couple of the unions have previously said that they want the public to have a vote in that final say on the brexit deal, whatever happens. this is a slight step back, the tuc represent 49 different unions and there is is a slav —— is slightly softer stance saying that if the deal does not support the rights of workers are give them enoughin rights of workers are give them enough in terms ofjob security and also real security around the issue of the border in northern ireland, if those things do not fall into place, then the public should have a say but it is a stronger stance than we have heard up until now from the tuc. you mentioned some of the red line, if this and if that, do we know what the definition is of a potential disaster for workers that you talked

about? what kind of things are they looking for from the brexit negotiations? well, that is not all that clear despite what frances o'grady laid out. we will hear more from her tomorrow when she gets the key note speech tomorrow at that main conference. she has been setting out those lines, they have been saying them for a number of months and they say there should be no harder border between northern ireland and the republic and that the government needs to secure rights for workers and jobs for workers. that is the big grey issue at the moment. she particularly picked out the car industry to say that those kind ofjobs could be impacted and affected if the uk does not get the kind of deal that norway has. that is the one she was highlighting today in comments to the press in saying that the uk needs to stay within some kind of clothes structure with the eu in order to securejobs clothes structure with the eu in order to secure jobs and make sure that trade flows eke —— easily and that trade flows eke —— easily and that workers can remain in that kind ofa that workers can remain in that kind of a workforce. thank you for talking us through that.

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, namely: getting coaching signals, breaking her racket, and finally calling the umpire a thief which cost her a game. patrick gearey reports. this was not the story tennis wanted or expected. serena williams furious at being warned for receiving coaching and then penalised again for verbal abuse towards the umpire. all this in a match that she hoped would take her to grand slam 24. it overshadowed a sensational victory for naomi osaka, playing in a final she had only dreamed of and outclassing a player she had idolised. serena williams‘ journey back from childbirth and life—threatening blood clots is remarkable. her fury grew through the second set. the escalating row brought in the referees and then cost williams a game leaving naomi osaka

an awkward bystander in this, serving for the title. an amazing victory and first grand slam, forever soundtracked by surround sound anger. her proudest day 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, stefan lofven , 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 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. and a little earlier we spoke to our europe correspondent gavin lee, who has spent the morning in the swedish capital, stockholm. what we are seeing in sweden is a reflection of what we have seen elsewhere in europe, in italy, in germany, in holland in the past two years as well. the elections which have fallen off the back of the migration crisis and the rise of populist movements using the issues of migration and here in sweden, the sweden democrats are the emergent party 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 2015 saw the most migrants enter this country per capita, 163,000 and then the government put restrictive measures in place

and what was supposed to be a schengen borderfree area, suddenly there are checks at borders and those temporary checks are still in place and while the established parties say there are other issues at play, the climate, wildfires, the issues of social welfare, housing and health and stopping increased privatisation, it has been the migration. social democrats, the main party, according to the polls, will see their biggest slip in 70 years in politics. expecting their lowest result, about 20%, the centre—right moderates expecting 20% with the sweden democrats around the same figure, some saying that they could be the highest party and their leader saying they are not racist. the other parties say they are toxic and they would not work with them if, by the polls ending tonight at eight o'clock, 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 mr kim'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, saluting the crowds with president xi's envoy. 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. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's lizzi. good afternoon. alistair cooke is batting

for his country for the final time. the opener, who's england's all time leading run—scorer is at the crease at the oval in the 5th and final test against india. he's currently on 13 runs as england look to build an unassailable lead. keating jennings has just been bowled. earlier india were all out for 292 — a0 runs behind england's first innings total. ravindra jadeja the hero for the tourists 86 not out. england's national selector ed smith says he wants to draw on alastair cook's talent in the future. it should have been naomi osaka's night after her surprise victory in the us open final — but serena williams is grabbing the headlines after she accused the umpire of sexism and treating her unfairly. williams was penalised for three code violations including receiving coaching signals, breaking her racket, and calling the chair umpire a thief. the outburst cost her the game and she went—on to lose the set and the match.

i cannot sit here and say i would much say he was a thief because i thought he took again from me but i have seen other men call umpire several things and i am here, fighting for women's rights and women's equality and for all kinds of things and for me to save these and for him to take a game, it made me feel it was a sexist remark. he has never took a game from a man for saying thief. it blows my mind. i will continue to fight for women and to fight for us to have... anyone should be able to take their shirt off without getting a fine. this is outrageous. i just feel like the fa ct outrageous. i just feel like the fact that i have to go through this is just fact that i have to go through this isjust an fact that i have to go through this is just an example for the next person, that has emotions and wants to express themselves and wants to bea to express themselves and wants to be a strong woman and they will be allowed to do that because of today.

maybe it did not work out for me but it will work out for the next person. well after the match williams also claimed the umpire has been sexist in the way he'd penalised her. and the former french open champion and bbc sport presenter sue barker is one of several high profile tennis experts who agrees that there's a disparity in the way men and women are treated by tennis officials. the wta, the atp and the grand slam runners need to get to get out —— get together and work out that there are rules that are run by. it cannot bea are rules that are run by. it cannot be a grey area any more and maybe there has to be a supervisor that comes on to have the final say, before you give a game away. i have never seen before you give a game away. i have never seen anything like it. tennis was the loser and we lost what was potentially a fantastic match. mo farah won a record fifth successive great north run and broke the course record in... (00v) newcastle today. the briton led from the front and only narrowly missed—out on a personal best by four seconds. the 4 time olympic champion, who's now solely a road runner — is aiming for his first major marathon title in chicago next month.

iam happy i am happy with it today. obviously the important thing is seeing what i could do in the race and being in control of the race and that is why usami at the front and pushing the pace and is going for it. playing around with it and testing my body and who i am. i thought i could run and who i am. i thought i could run a decent time, a personal best but i slow down in the last two miles, particularly the last mile which was disappointing, but the most important thing is the win i think. the new women's super league season kicked off today.

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 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 pava spray 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 the pava 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? seven point five million pounds worth of class a drugs and twenty handguns have been seized by border force officers in dover it's been revealed. two polish men in their thirties were referred to the national crime agency for investigation after their truck was intercepted on friday morning. a senior investigating officer said the "substantial seizure" could have posed a significant risk to life if it had reached the hands of criminals. 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. now it's time for a look at the weather. 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 55 mph, as low pressure passes nearby. showers, longer spells of rain, getting quite wet and windy. further south, quieter thanks to a ridge of high pressure, wind is not as strong and lengthy clear skies. temperatures just making double figures in sheltered spots, temperatures just into single figures elsewhere. a fine start to monday but another weather system is waiting in the wings bringing wet and windy weather to northern ireland and the west of scotland. we are starting off on a fine and dry note, lots of sunshine, into the afternoon, cloud builds up and wet and windy weather will push into northern ireland and then into the west of scotland. across

the board, not quite as warm as it was today. this is bbc news. the headlines: 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. the former foreign secretary said that the chequers deal has opened the uk to perpetual political blackmail. high drama at the us open as serena williams loses her cool in the final. she accused the umpire of sexism and treating her unfairly and calling him a thief after receiving two penalties. voting is under way in the swedish general election, with an anti—immigration party expected to make large gains. and sir mo farah wins the great north run for a record breaking fifth consecutive time, kenya's vivian cheruiyot wins the women's race.
