this is bbc news i'm martine croxall. the headlines at 7pm: 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 trade unions back calls for a new referendum on brexit: if theresa may fails to get a good enough deal high drama at the us open as serena williams loses her cool..and the final. also this hour... 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. the former foreign secretary boris

johnson's latest intervention on brexit has been attacked by fellow conservatives as ‘outrageous‘ and ‘disgusting' after he likened the prime minister's proposals to a suicide vest. in a newspaper article he said the chequers plan was a humiliation that gives the eu what it wants in return for nothing. our political correspondent alex forsyth reports. neverfarfrom a camera, it seems, but borisjohnson didn't get the warmest welcome from cricket fans at the oval yesterday. commentator: ah, the former foreign secretary. appears to be on his own. booing perhaps dreaming up his latest attack on the government's brexit plan. in today's mail on sunday he called

it feeble and pathetic and said by promising no friction at the irish border... suicide bomb or suicide vest... that language was quickly criticised by tory colleagues. i think there are much better ways to articulate your differences and i think it's a reminder, i think, for all of us in public policy, whichever political party we represent, to use measured language because that's what the public want to see. some went much further. on twitter, the mp and former army officer tom tugendhat said... while sir alan duncan, a government minister, said it was one of the most disgusting moments in modern politics. with years of experience at westminster, there is little doubt boris johnson knew

that his comments would provoke reaction. critics have suggested it was a deliberate distraction from revelations about his private life including the recent announcement about his divorce, but his supporters say his only focus is fighting for brexit and that's why he's being attacked. i think boris says it as he sees it and it's how many people see it in the country but few dare to call it. and he speaks truth unto power and i'm not surprised that those in power resent that and there's a backlash. either way, his willingness to challenge the prime minister has again fuelled speculation about his own ambition. although his allies insist the only change he wants in downing street is a different brexit policy. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers — our guests joining me tonight

are anne ashworth, associate editor of the times, and the broadcaster — john stapleton the trades union congress has said it 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. our political correspondent iain watson is in manchester where the unions are holding their annual conference — and sent this report. all we're left with, with just 200 days to go, before potentially we crash out of the eu, all we have got left is that campaign and call for a popular vote, and if the prime minister will not come back with a deal that working people deserve, then we will be throwing our weight behind that campaign. you have made it very clear what you want the prime minister to do, what do you want the leader of the opposition to do? different organisations will make their own democratic decisions, and it is about time, i think, that politicians focused on what people are telling them, that they want a say. when labour holds its conference in two weeks, some unions and grassroots members want to see the party travel much further in the direction

of a new referendum. i asked the shadow chancellor if he is prepared to move. i want a general election because i think it is about notjust the policies, it is about changing the negotiating team. if that does not happen, i will keep the option on the table. most unions opposed brexit, but some, such as the rail union, backed a leave vote. their leadership say that any new vote on a final brexit deal will look too much like a second referendum, a rerun, and that carries political dangers. a second referendum will actually cause huge problems, huge divisions, not only in the trade union movement and amongst our members — who expect people to respect their voice — but also in society, and we need to worry about that. they're playing with fire and they should be very careful. our business correspondent, colletta smith is in manchester where the unions are holding their annual conference. how much of a surprise was to hear

such a strong message over the brexit deal? it has been a surprisingly strong statement today. particularly with frances o'grady setting out those three criteria, saying the government needs to protect workers‘ rights, jobs and also make sure that there is no hard border that we northern ireland and the republic of ireland. it is certainly a more grey area. the hard border is clear but potentially the other two issues, how the government can protect those rights and ensure that the tuc is satisfied is certainly more open to debate. at what stage another potential referendum would be called for by the tuc is a little more questionable. we may get more clarity tomorrow as frances o‘grady addresses the whole of the tuc with her keynote speech. brexit taking

centre stage at the start of the conference but what are we likely to hearfor conference but what are we likely to hear for the rest of the week? the tuc of course are discussing lots of different issues. they represent 49 different issues. they represent 49 different unions so they all have their own agendas. the real thrust throughout this week is the applications for workers of new technology, of the changes in the nature of work. 0—hours contracts, a lot of big issues up for debate. of course it is brexit that dominates everything at the moment. thank you. a group representing religious education teachers and faith organisations has called for big changes to the way the subject is taught in england. the commission for religious education says children should learn about atheism and humanism, as well as the main faiths, to better reflect modern britain. north korea has held a military parade to mark its 70th anniversary — but in contrast with previous years, long—range missiles — with the potential to carry nuclear warheads — were not on show.

donald trump, who is hoping to persuade north korea to abandon its nuclear weapons programme, called it a "big and very positive statement." our correspondent laura bicker reports from seoul. the soldiers marched with their usual zeal, a disciplined display, perfected after months of painful practice. it is meant to show devotion. there was something missing from kim jung—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‘s written another letter to the us president to try and get talks back on track. and once again, here he is playing the diplomat, this time showing off his friendship with china, saluting the crowds with president xi‘s envoy. but the invited cameras

are told where to point, amidst the waving pyongyang elite. frankly there is very little doubt that north koreans are determined to remain nuclear in the foreseeable future. but right now, they don‘t want to advertise it. the bbc was not invited to pyongyang but we did speak to north korean defectors, who took part in past events. they told us it can take up to six months to prepare. ten hours of rehearsals a day, with very little food. the goose—stepping in particular is difficult to master. translation: you have to lift up the back leg at the same time your front leg hits the ground. this is very difficult. if you do this for six months, you can lose over five kilograms. there are fears 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. just like the missiles, so much is hidden from view and until that changes, the international community may find it difficult to trust. laura bicker, bbc news, in seoul. a 28—year—old woman has been charged with attempted murder after a man was stabbed in barnsley yesterday. ayaan ali, of isleworth, west london, has also been charged with affray after a man was stabbed in barnsley yesterday. and possession of an offensive weapon and remanded in custody. she is due to appear at barnsley magistrates‘ court tomorrow. £7.5 million worth of class a drugs and 20 handguns have been seized by border force officers in dover. 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. six royal navy sailors have been arrested in florida,

accused of being drunk and disorderly while on shore leave they‘re crew from britain‘s newest aircraft carrier, hms queen elizabeth, which docked there on its maiden voyage. reports say the men were fighting and urinating in public, and at least one was tasered after resisting arrest. polls have just closed in swedens general election — a race that‘s been dominated by the rise of an anti—immigration party. final results from the election are expected within two or three hours. one of the first exit polls from swedish broadcaster tva, shows the incumbents, social democrats at 25.4% and the far right sweden democrats, with 16.3% of the vote (tx 00v) with a campaign focused on immigration and crime it is thought thatjimmie akesson‘s nationalist sweden democrats could become the second biggest party in parliament. the social democrat prime minister, 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. we want to keep investing in our investment and it our correspondentjenny hill is in stockholm. good evening. this could be a historic night for swedish politics. those exit polls are not entirely reliable but they suggest that the ruling party in this country, the ce ntre—left ruling party in this country, the centre—left ruling party, will win this election. but astonishingly for the liberal tradition here that far

rightanti—migrants, anti—eu the liberal tradition here that far right anti—migrants, anti—eu party could take second place. depending on which poll you look at, they are in third or second. a few hours before we know certain. that is a remarkable shift in the politics of this country. by me are the supporters of that ruling party. they have been watching very nervously as the evening has worn on. the country‘s by minister is also here. earlier today he described the sweden democrats as a racist party. of course they have done very well since the migrant crisis. sweden took in more people seeking asylum per head of population than any other european country. the sweden democrats have focused on that in the last few yea rs. focused on that in the last few years. negi particularfocus on focused on that in the last few years. negi particular focus on the link between what they say is migration and crime. —— making particular focus. when used migration and crime. —— making particularfocus. when used it migration and crime. —— making particular focus. when used it to people about, some of them are very anxious. some say the liberal tradition of sweden is being abandoned. the night was my

collection will be closely skosan iced in many other eu capitals. —— closely scrutinised. it finally looks as though even sweden on that with their liberal tradition, might just be shifting to the right. thejustice secretary is supporting the idea of "as many prisoners as possible" having phones in their cells. david gauke says allowing more inmates to make private calls would be a "real game changer" in improving behaviour and helping with rehabilitation. mark fairhurst from the prison officers association says thejustice secretary‘s proposals don‘t go far enough — and there are more pressing issues that need addressing. on the back burner a few months ago. 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? 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. 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. 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 trade unions back calls for a new referendum on brexit, if theresa may fails to get a good enough deal voting is under way in the swedish general election, with an anti—immigration party expected to make large gains. 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. our correspondent sarah rainsford has been to a protest in moscow and sent this report. they chant in russian. the crowd here in the centre of moscow are shouting, "no to pension reform." this is the issue that has brought them out on the streets, the plan to raise retirement age to 65.

the main argument against that is that in many regions of this country men simply don‘t live to 65. signs here say, "hands off our pensions", "we want to live to retirement age". there is a bit of a stand—off at the moment with protesters on one side and riot police in the middle of this crowd. there is a statement, an announcement is going out on the loudspeaker saying this is an unsanctioned protest and that people should leave the streets, otherwise they risk being detained. this is an issue that has really angered a lot of russians, notjust this crowd — there a re protests across the country. the polls show that nine in ten russians are against this plan. my father died at 57. and almost all of his friends, too. so it is too high an age. my mother is 53.

in two years she is going to retire but now she won't. because the age is increased. the government has stolen money from my mother. president putin last week made a rare move by addressing the nation on television. he described the pension reform as a matter of national security. he said that he called on the people to understand that this is a reform that is absolutely essential. as you can see by the scenes here, people are far from convinced. they have come out on the streets in protest. despite the riot police presence here they are prepared to stand up for their rights. a lot of young people here today, people who have been telling me they are here for their parents and for their own future. it is a serious challenge for president putin in terms of his politics at home and in russia. 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 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. authorities in china have opened an online court,

aimed at catering to the rising number of disputes occurring in cyberspace. katie silver has this report. trial by webcam. in china‘s newest court, defendants and plaintiffs appear by video link with parties who refuse to log on being seen as ignoring summons. cases are filed with a click and mediation is done by machine. the newly unveiled virtual courtroom will hear mainly civil administration cases related to the internet, such as dispute involving online shopping, financial loa ns, involving online shopping, financial loans, copyright infringement and domain names. digital litigation will occur 2a hours a day with 38 judges selected from across the capital. the judges are aged around 40 with capital. the judges are aged around a0 with an average judicial experience of over ten years. they are also highly educated. the

beijing internet court is aiming to tackle these internet related cases that have been rising rapidly in the city over the last few years. it is the second internet court in the country, after the first was set up in hangs out in august last year. another is slated to open later this month with china angling to become another world leader in cyberspace governance. 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. the four—time olympic gold medalist, sir mo farah, has claimed a record—beaking new victory as the only person to win the great north run five times. sir mo won the elite men‘s race in 59 minutes and twenty—six seconds. challenging sir mo was new zealand‘s jake robertson who took second place. kenya‘s 2016 champion vivian cheruiyot took victory in the women‘s event, while britain‘s david weir was first across the finish line in the men‘s wheelchair race. a trainee teacher from salford has just completed a 2,500 mile run across southern africa — from its atlantic coast to the indian ocean. this is the moment, earlier today,
