news. 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. alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are anne ashworth, associate editor of the times, and the broadcasterjohn 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. it has been a surprisingly strong

statement today, particularly with frances o'grady setting out those three criteria saying that the government needs to protect the rights of workers, jobs and also needs to make sure their is no hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. how that plays out in practice is more questionable, it is a more grey area. the hard border is clear but potentially the other issues, how the government can protect rights and ensure that the tuc is satisfied that workers' rights and jobs will be protected is certainly more open to debate. at what stage another potential referendum would be called for by the tuc is more questionable. we might get more clarity tomorrow as frances o'grady gives her keynote speech. brexiters taking centre stage today, but what are we likely to here for the rest of the week? the tuc discussing lots of different

issues, they represent 49 different unions and they will have their own agendas, but the real thrust this week is the implications for workers of new technology, the changes in the nature of work, zero—hours contracts, there are a lot of big issues up for discussion but of course it is brexit dominating everything at the moment. 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 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 closed in

sweden's general election — after a campaign where one of the main issues has been the rise of an anti—immigration party, the sweden democrats. final results from the election are expected later this evening. the latest poll, from sweden's state broadcaster, suggests the incumbents, the social democrats are leading with with 26.2%, but the far right sweden democrat party, have 19.2%. if these numbers are accurate, that would make them the second largest party, ahead of the moderate party who are predicted to win17.8%. earlier, the social democrat prime minister, stefan lofven , who cast his vote at the parliament building accused the sweden democrats of extremism and said that a vote for the right—wing party was — in his words — "dangerous". we want to keep investing in our investment and it is also about decency, but a decent democracy. the social democrats

and the government is a guarantee, we are not letting the sweden democrats' extremist party, racist party, get any influence on the government. our europe correspondent, jenny hill, is in stockholm. this could be a historic night for swedish politics. as you say, those exit polls — and they are not entirely reliable — but those exit polls suggest that the ruling party in this country, the centre—left ruling party, will win this election. but, astonishingly for the liberal tradition here in sweden, that far—right, anti—migrant, anti—eu party could take second place. depending on which poll you look at, they are third or second at the moment. it will be a few hours before we really know for certain. but that is a really remarkable shift in the politics of this country. behind me are the supporters of that ruling party, the centre—left ruling party, and they've been watching very nervously as the

evening has worn on. the country's prime minister is here too. earlier today he described the sweden democrats as a racist party. they have done very well, of course, since the migrant crisis. sweden took in more people seeking asylum per head of population than any other european country, and the sweden democrats have very much focused on that in the last few years, making particular focus on the link between what they say is migration and crime here in sweden. very divisive for this country. when you speak to people out and about, some of them are very anxious about what is happening. some of them say that this liberal tradition of sweden is really being upended. and of course tonight's election will be closely scrutinised in many other eu capitals. that of course is because, like so many other european countries, it finally looks as though sweden — even sweden, with that liberal tradition — mightjust 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. this was put on the back burner a few months ago and obviously it's reared its head again and now he wants to invest in, i believe, 20 prisons, but that still leaves over 100 prisons still without in—cell technology including telephones. i think he's got his priorities all wrong. the priorities at this moment in time are safe prisons — safe for staff and safe for prisoners, and that includes giving poa members the tools to do theirjob, and that is why we will be insisting that pava spray is rolled out immediately, as soon as practical, in order to quell violence and protect our members. but it's also about reinstating a retirement age to 60 for all operational prison staff,

because we have to work in the most hostile and violent workplace in western europe. now, in—cell technology, including phones, is a good idea because it will help prisoners maintain those important family links even when there's regime restrictions, and of course when we have to go into lockdown. it must be very frustrating for most prisoners when they haven't got a phone in their cell to maintain that family contact, because there are a lot of regime restrictions because we simply haven't got the staffing levels we did have to operate a full regime. and of course they have very limited access to telephones on landings, and quite often they break down. so this will help, we hope, 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. exit polls suggests sweden's anti—immigration party has made gains in the country's general

election as the establishment parties appear deadlocked. sport, and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. good evening. alastair cook's final innings as a test match batsman will continue tomorrow — and it could yet lead to a victorious farewell. cook's unbeaten 46 run contribution means england lead india by 154. with more, here's tim hague: there was no doubting who the capacity crowd had come to see but before alastair cook's final innings, the home team needed to get the final indian wickets. that wasn't easy, jadeja's style and substance got him to 86 not out but he ran out of partners. india, all out for 292, a0 behind england. this match was less about the result and more about him.

cook coming out one last time. but how many could england's record run score accumulates this time? definitely more than keaton jennings. that's called leaving a straight one. no such worries for alastair cook, who remained focused as usual, and showed why he'd be so missed. moeen ali couldn't follow his lead, another englishman beaten by the bowler. the runs kept coming for england. the lead is increasing, but how many will cook get? so england will resume on 114 for 2 on day four, the lead is 154 run. all eyes will be on alastair cook, 46 not out, with captainjoe root also unbeaten on 29. wales have lost 2—0 to denmark in their second nations league game.

it was a tottenham player who did the damage in aarhus, as jim lumsden reports. ryan giggs' first game has wales manager study with an impressive thumping of republic of ireland on saturday. a makeshift denmark side lost to slovakia last week but the big names were back. at the world cup they lost to as croatia on penalties in the last 16 and they began to worry the welsh. but wales had something other side ‘slack and is gareth bale. then again, denmark have christian eriksen and he is not bad either. the seventh goal in his last six competitive home internationals. cisco could've made it two before half—time but for the reflexes of wayne hennessey. those of the defender were sluggish. handball, penalty. christian eriksen with the second of the evening. mixed for wales, former

world champions spain at the principality stadium. james lumsden, bbc news. the new women's super league season kicked off today. defending champions chelsea had a goaless draw with manchester city. arsenal thrashed liverpool and there were also victories for birmingham city, bristol city and a big win for reading over yeovil town. matthew fitzpatrick is the first golfer in a0 years to defend the european masters. he needed an extra hole to do it. fitzpatrick had led by two going into the final round but it took a birdie on the first play—off hole to clinch victory. the englishman becomes the first since the great seve ballesteros in 1978 to retain the title. mo farah won the great north run for a record—breaking fifth time. he's crossed the line first every year since 2014 and this time set a new course record as well. the briton led from the front and only missed out on his personal best by four seconds.

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. 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. chanting. the crowd here in the centre of moscow are shouting no to the pension reform. this is the issue that has brought them out onto the streets, the plans to raise the retirement age to 65. now, the main argument that people have here against that is that in many regions of this country, men simply do not live to 65, so there are signs here, saying hands off our pensions, saying we want to live to retirement age. now, as you can see, there has been a bit of a stand—off at the minute. the protesters on one side, a line of riot police in the middle of this crowd and there is a statement, an announcement going out on the loudspeakers saying this is an unsanctioned protest and that people should leave the streets, otherwise they risk being detained. this is an issue that has angered a lot of russians, notjust the crowd here today, there a re protests across the country, throughout the day and in fact the polls show that

nine in ten russians are against this plan to raise the pension age. my father died at 57. and almost all of his friends, too. so, it is too high an age. my mother is 53. so, in two years, she is going to retire, but now she won't. because the age has increased. so, actually, the government has stolen money from my mother. president putin last week made a very 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, but 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 the rights. a lot of young people here today, people who have been telling me that they are here for their parents and their own future. it is a serious challenge for president putin in terms of his politics here at home 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 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. 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 loans, copyright infringement and domain names. digital litigation will occur 24 hours a day with 38 judges selected from across the capital.

now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. we are going to start the new working week with a battle between warm airand working week with a battle between warm air and cooler. we felt the effects of both today, the south—east have sunshine and temperatures approaching the middle 20s. further north and east, in scotland, temperatures here around 16 degrees with frequent heavy downpours and this cloud you can see here is going to bring further heavy downpours across scotland particularly as we go through what is rest of this evening and overnight. you can see the showers drifting north—east blown on a brisk wind, wind gusts of 55 mph across parts of the west of scotland. further south, a quieter night,

quite breezy, some clear spells to come and temperatures around 9—12d. moving into monday, we start the day with sunshine, showers for a time across the north of scotland and then as we get into the afternoon, thick cloud will bring outbreaks of rain in the west of scotland, perhaps the far north—west of england, the winds strengthening again, quite cool in the north—west, not as warm as today, but still up to 21 or 22 degrees. another bout of wet and windy weather during monday night and then we get into tuesday we will be left with this trailing weather front, really slicing the country in two. it will bring cloud, some outbreaks of rain, much of it light and patchy, misty and murky as well. this weather front will divide the warm air in the south—east from the cooler air further north and west, so temperatures in the london area close to 24 degrees, more like the

mid teens across parts of scotland and northern ireland. further showers in the north—west. by wednesday, the front will be wriggling around, uncertainty about how quickly it will clear, it looks like it will hang around wringing damp weather in the south. sunshine and blustery showers in the north—west but for all of us, are significantly cooler field, between 15 and 70 degrees and finally it looks like we will push that front out of the way as they get into thursday, behind that, all of us get into that cooler and fresh air. it will not be raining all the time but there will be a little bit of rain in the forecast, blustery winds in the north and generally quite a cool feel.
