welcome to bbc newsroom live. the prime minister has promised the uk will have control of its immigration policy for the first time in decades after brexit. theresa may said low—skilled immigration will fall under a new visa system where it is ‘workers' skills that matter, not where they come from' the plans follow a recommendation by the migration advisory committee, which was also backed by labour. the cabinet agreed to the committee's recommendations last week. the proposals include workers wanting to stay for longer periods would need a minimum salary ‘to esnure they are competing with people already in the uk. security and criminal records checks would be carried out before visits, similar to the system of prior authorisation in the us. and the new system will not cap the number of student visas. with me now is our assistant political editor norman smith. thank you. today is a big moment, as

theresa may signals the end of free movement after brexit. there are in awful lot of questions to be answered. most obviously the complaints of business who are fea rful complaints of business who are fearful about the curb on low skilled migration into the uk, and what that would mean for crucial sectors like hospitality, construction, food processing. there are also questions about what it means for brits who want to go and work in the eu. also questions about how it will affect the attempt to present a global britain brand and whether theresa may will have two seed further ground if she is to get a trade deal. this morning she insisted that it was evident that she was delivering on her promise to ta ke she was delivering on her promise to take back control. the policy we are announcing today, our future immigration policy delivers on the result of the referendum, takes back control of the borders and ensures free movement comes to an end once

and for all. we will be deciding who can come into this country. we recognise that businesses say that there are skills they need, that they need to bring into the country, they need to bring into the country, the new system is going to be based not on where people come from, but on what they can contribute to the economy. the skills that they have. we are also working as a government to ensure we are building up the skills of young people here in the uk. our new policy is crucially going to ensure free movement ends, and who can come here will be determined by their contribution to our economy, not by where they come from. this comes as the former foreign secretary, boris johnson, from. this comes as the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson, is expected to deliver a rallying cry speech for those opposed to the chequers plan. we can see him arriving in the past hour or so. we are told he will range beyond brexit and sketch out some of his broader ideas which may lead some to think

he is trying to set up an agenda for prime minister boris johnson. yesterday he was photographed running through that fields of wheat, although now it seems it was a field of dry grass. some people are suggesting he was deliberately trying to needle mrs may, of course, after she famously said the worst thing she had ever done was run through a field of wheat. i'm joined by the conservative mp sera wollaston, let's start with immigration. 0ne wollaston, let's start with immigration. one of the obvious concerns is the impact on sectors like the care sector. it's obviously an issue for you when the committee, how serious are the risks to our ca re system how serious are the risks to our care system if there is no sort of exemption for the care sector when the curbs on low skilled migration coming? we already have over a 7% va ca ncy coming? we already have over a 7% vacancy rate coming? we already have over a 7% vacancy rate across coming? we already have over a 7% vacancy rate across social care. we have an increasing need for services, we won't fill those places, it will become much harder

if we have two construct easy access to workers doing a fantasticjob who helped us from across the european union. it's not just helped us from across the european union. it's notjust that they helped us from across the european union. it's not just that they will be fewer staff available, it's the buick right across that will be added to those who are trying to recruit staff. it's notjust in the ca re recruit staff. it's notjust in the care sector, the nhs, we have 180,000 full—time vacancies across the nhs and many of those are in lower paid jobs. they won't the threshold that we are hearing about. i'd to see very clear, coming from the home secretary and number ten, is that they would look at the needs of patients as well as the need of the economy. isn't there a danger that if there is an exemption for the care sector they will other sectors that will claim a special case, hospitality, food processing, and in the end he drives a coach and horses to the idea of driving don't immigration? indeed, and that is the

concern about adding two costs as well. at the moment it is a frictionless ability to move across borders which is crucially important to our wider economy. looking at what will happen, nobody voted in the referendum to have a worsening health care workforce, or a crisis in health care. i think we are very clear about the needs of patients in all this, and that's where we want to be heading. what do you say to the government to argue, look, all that has to happen is businesses, ca re that has to happen is businesses, care homes, whatever, staff training and recruiting british employees? there is a huge number of things we need to do for our social care workforce, it's about retention as well as recruitment. the trouble is that when the workforce is under huge pressure, what you see is a spiralling effect of people leaving because of workforce pressures, what we need to do is stabilise a fragile

problem with deliverable within the workforce. we simply don't have the home—grown staff to be able to fill those posts. even if wages went up, and of course i welcome that, but it would depend on the government being prepared to come forward with a proper long—term settlement for social care. what about the image of britain, part of the argument of leavers has been this global brand, brand britain, is that compromised by this new immigration rule?m will compromise our position within the european union. it's also about young people in britain who want to be able to go and work, and have that ease of movement. we all benefit from that, having a workforce that can gain experience aboard and comeback. health, social care, science, research, this has been a hugely positive thing, the freedom to work across borders. it

is about the bureaucracy that will be imposed on the nhs and social ca re if be imposed on the nhs and social care if they have to go through all of these hurdles. it will be another example of the brexit penalty for the health service, rather on a dividend. we know borisjohnson is doing his big speech at lunchtime, later today, there has been a degree of backlash against borisjohnson at this conference. some people argue that we have passed peakjohnson, is that we have passed peakjohnson, is that right? i think so. i think the more state m e nts i think so. i think the more statements he makes, he has some daft ideas, and i think about people will look at him and see that the emperor has no clothes. but he is a man who won london mayor twice. it's not a natural tory city, he won the election against the odds, he manages to reach out well beyond the conference, and in that sense maybe you ought to treasure him rather than say he needs to pipe

down. he is media friendly, but there is a difference between being entertaining and having the skill set and competence to lead this nation. right now, we really don't need a leadership contest. it would be extraordinarily destabilising. and i say to all the colleagues who are using this as some sort of contest for their leadership roads, actually, they need to put the needs of the country first, and not be looking at their own future chances of leadership. that's not what this is about. thank you so much for your time. it's interesting that the government has decided to announce its plans for freedom of movement today, it fuels the suspicion they wa nt to today, it fuels the suspicion they want to make sure that borisjohnson doesn't grab the headlines with his speech. we are still focusing on theresa may's announcement about immigration plans. and let's get some reaction from the eu to this, we can speak to our brussels

correspondent adam fleming. it's sort of been well trailed because there was a report, and it was endorsed by the cabinet, but what is the reaction they are about this news on eu migrants not getting preferential treatment post brexit? the european parliament is having a monthly session in strasbourg right now, and meps have been talking about brexit this morning and this immigration proposal came up. the leader of the centre—right group in the parliament, the european people's party, the biggest group, said it was proof that the eu needed to stay united to protect its four freedoms, one of which is free movement, he said that was one of the good things about the eu and the uk would learn that it was losing good stuff like free movement. then the leader of the liberal group also the leader of the liberal group also the brexit coordinator, said the eu

would not accept the new uk immigration system that discriminated against people from particular eu countries, or discriminated against the types of jobs of the skills they had. discriminating against people for the types of skills and jobs they can do is a centrepiece of the uk proposal. it is worth remembering here that actually, there is a good chance that the european parliament, uk parliament on brexit negotiations will never get to the stage where they are talking about the future immigration model, that is something for future relationships after brexit happens. also, i'm not clear how much scope there is for the two sides to negotiate a clear reciprocal system for immigration. it looks like they will be a uk system with this set of permits and rules, and the eu will have its existing system for high which treats immigrants from outside the eu. there has been lots of

commentary today about jeremy eu. there has been lots of commentary today aboutjeremy hunt, the foreign secretary, and those controversial comments he made about comparing the eu to the soviet union. and more comments from jean—claude young then about the prospect of a deal? yes, he has been in publica prospect of a deal? yes, he has been in public a couple of times. he was talking this morning about the prospect of this next eu summit, on the 17th and 18th of october in brussels. he also did an event in germany last night, and one of the things that came out was him saying people who talk up the prospect of no deal, this idea that the uk could crash out of brexit talks with no treaty, none of the loose ends tied up, and that the uk would survive after a brief period of turmoil, then flourish, he says people who say that are really underestimating the consequences of no deal. he pointed out the consequences in different areas, be it a port and aeroplanes, to pet passports. he

also reiterated his policy is ireland first. he's been saying this for ages. it's shorthand for the eu saying we are sticking to this policy, but there has got to be a plan for avoiding a hard border between northern ireland and ireland in the final agreement. that's one of the massive outstanding sticking points. and a reminder, you can see home secretary sajid javid's speech from the conservative party conference here on the bbc news channel from midday. the number of people known to have died in friday's earthquake and tsunami in indonesia has risen to more than one—thousand—two—hundred. the country's disaster response agency says that the death—toll could still rise significantly as many people may still be trapped under the rubble of buildings. the uk government is sending two million pounds to help with the relief effort. jenny kumah reports. homes and lives destroyed in palu. the survivors are facing their fifth

day without power and water. around 118,000 people have nowhere to live. but, amid the despair, there is hope. after days under the rubble, rescuers managed to release this man from his concrete tomb. the authorities have confirmed there was a fault with the tsunami detection system. a warning was sent out, but it appears to have underestimated the scale of the waves, and many didn't get the alerts because of power cuts. when the flooding hit, this mother picked up her two children and ran. translation: we were running for our lives, the waves chasing us. it's like a bad dream. when is help going to arrive? when will the government pay attention to us? rescuers face a massive task, especially in trying to reach remote areas. foreign aid is on its way. in addition to the work that we do

through our partners on the ground, the military has put on flights to help with the evacuation of thousands desperate to flee the disaster zone. others have joined limited commercial flights out of the small, damaged airport in palu. 0ur correspondent, hywel griffith is at an airforce base in makassar — the provincial capital of south sulawesi. what is happening there? this is where the indonesian aid effort is centred. there are a aircraft taking off and flying up water supplies, food, blankets, tents, but it is not enough. the aircraft landing and a lifting people, the survivors, and bringing them here. but some people are coming just clutching a few simple possessions. they have

stories of survival, having run away from the water, running towards mud slides in some cases. 0ne family have left behind a two—year—old girl who they simply couldn't find. they have had to leave not knowing what was her fate. how many people are there? we've seen, during the course of the last few hours, hundreds of people in a lift it out. there are hundreds, if not thousands more desperate to leave. it's been a slow process, but even slower getting outside of the main city to areas such as the smaller villages because of the rubble on the infrastructure. it has crumbled in the tsunami. the aid effort is very hard, and very slow to reach people and snow to extract and evacuate them. the aid is going from where you are to the disaster

zone, you are obviously having difficulty getting to all the areas that need help. tell us about the logistical difficulties? put simply, the tsunami broke up the infrastructure, the roads and many of them are impassable even for military vehicles. certainly for ambulances. so where isjobs can happen now trying to drop food supplies, but the latest plan involves sending in fairies from the islands to some of the areas so that they can bring in aid, and also evacuate people who are desperate to leave. again, that isn't a quick process. they will be enormous queues of people who want to leave, there are enormous queues of people for basic things like food, fuel, water, and tensions are getting frayed. thank you very much. the headlines on bbc news.

the prime minister is promising immigration will fall after brexit and they will be no preferential treatment for migrants from the european union. boris johnson treatment for migrants from the european union. borisjohnson will call on conservatives to return to traditional values of low tax on strong policing in a speech to the party conference fringe this afternoon. the number of people known to have died in the earthquake and tsunami in indonesia has now risen to more than 1200. we reveal details of this year's bbc sports personality of the year, with the event set to be staged once again in birmingham. there are also some changes to the format and a new category, celebrating the standout sporting moment of 2018. manchester united are back in champions league action later but the focus is once again onjose mourinho's future at old trafford. during his latest press conference, he fielded questions about what losing to valencia this evening would mean for him and his players — as he admitted some care more than others. wayne bennett has called up five uncapped players

for england's autumn test series against new zeland. they include wakefield trinity winger tom johnstone and centre reece lyne. england begin the series against the kiwis in hull at the end of this month. i'll be back with more on those stories later. a group of parents who are challenging surrey county council s proposed cuts to its special needs budget are going to the high court today. the judicial review will decide the legality of plans to cut £20 million from services for disabled children. it's one of a number of legal cases brought by parents of children with special educational needs, including one against hackney council and another against the government over the legality of its cuts to local authority budgets. we spoke to some of the families involved for their message to the council, starting with 15 year old dominic ferris who has asbergers.

how can you fight for what children need, if you are cutting the money giving them what they need and still trying to get more kids that don't have this stuff they need, if they will in my school, or any school, that receives certain funding, and they saw the help that the kids get and what that would be like if they didn't have it. then realistically they wouldn't be looking at trying that. it just misjudged they wouldn't be looking at trying that. itjust misjudged logistically doesn't work out. lots of kids need this to have a good education and get the gcses and whatever they are doing. you can go on and do whatever you want, even if you have autism, as long as you get

the right support. if you don't have the right support. if you don't have the right support. if you don't have the right support, then you can lose all of that helped that you are getting. and you don't know where to go. what would you say? rather than just taking it away a child smuggler future, you are taking away their support, and things to help them. without proper support it makes it much harder to gain. and your message to the council? well, i believe the education health and ca re believe the education health and care plan has increased in surrey by 40% in the last two years. care plan has increased in surrey by 4096 in the last two years. what is the significance of that? if they wa nt the significance of that? if they want to make these courts, if the numbers are increasing how can they justify these cuts, or these

children have specific needs, or they wouldn't have that help. you don't get e hcp if the school can meet your needs. this is why they can't make these courts. meet your needs. this is why they can't make these courtslj meet your needs. this is why they can't make these courts. i would say we need to work harder on early intervention so that the earlier we can't do this, the more we can support children earlier and get the right support in place early and allow them to develop. but don't go ahead with the courts? absolutely not. focus on early intervention to long—term reduce the budget. we all know budgets are under pressure. the charity save the children says suspected cholera cases in yemen have almost tripled since june. it coincides with escalating fighting in the country's ongoing civil war, which began three years ago and has claimed more than ten thousand lives. the children's charity has renewed calls for a ceasefire from all sides. a budget airline that began offering long—haul flights from uk airports to the us earlier this year has collapsed.

the icelandic—owned primera airline ceased all operations at midnight, with many passengers stranded and unsure of alternative travel options. flights to washington and new york due to leave stansted on monday night were grounded and passengers have been told not to go to the airport on tuesday. pavithra priyadarshini arrived at washington's dulles airport hoping to get a flight back to stansted last night. earlier she told victoria derbyshire she's now stranded. icame to i came to check in my luggage, and there was a signboard saying that flights had been cancelled. how did you react? i was completely broken. ididn't you react? i was completely broken. i didn't know what to do. until now, i don't know what i'm going to do. i'm just sitting in the airport. i've tried to contact other airlines, i thought, first, at first i tried to contact them, and the

network was completely down, all sulawesi's support is not an action now. i do not know what to do. i've tried united, british airways, everyone. they are demanding a huge amount of money. two or $3000. let's speak to our transport correspondent who is with me now. is it clear how many people are affected? it's not, but at least hundreds, we have spoken to people stuck in places like washington, paris, malaga, trying to get back to britain. 0thers washington, paris, malaga, trying to get back to britain. others have booked flights in the next couple of weeks, looking to go on business or on holiday in places like toronto etc. it's quite a few people affected. nothing on the scale of one we saw marnoch go bust, but hundreds, possibly thousands of people. what are their rights? if

you booked with a credit card you might be able to recoup your money using the consumer credit act, contact your credit card provider. another match, it doesn't look good. essentially, it wasn't covered the civil aviation authority's scheme. so it looks like people stuck in washington are probably going to have to buy another flight. is it unusual not to be covered by this policy? it covers chartered flights, so not really, no. tell us more about the airline. it's not particularly well known. it started in 2003, initiallyjust offering charter flights, in 2003, initiallyjust offering charterflights, initially in 2003, initiallyjust offering charter flights, initially it was taking people from scandinavia to parts of europe. but in may it started offering transatlantic flights, france from birmingham, sta nsted, manchester, flights, france from birmingham, stansted, manchester, to places like washington, new york and toronto.

essentially, it was taking on the likes of yy and norwegian, basically offering cheap flights across the atlantic. last night it said itjust didn't have the financing for the long—term. it also blamed the late arrival of a new fleet of aircraft, saying it lost revenue, and led to cancellations. we spoke to other passengers who have really been affected by poor running of the airline, flights were cancelled, they've gone the way real trauma in terms of trying to recoup some of their money. again, they lose out, their money. again, they lose out, the airline has gone bust. let's catch up with the weather. we've had a cloudy start to the day. a mild start for many of us compared to yesterday. that cloud has given us some to yesterday. that cloud has given us some rain in places, particularly across england and wales. great scenes from our weather watchers so far. some brightness across eastern

areas of england, east of the pennines and scotland, from sunny spells. windy conditions make it feel quite cruel and journey in northern and eastern parts. it remains quite cloudy around the coast. a mild state, attempted up to 20 celsius in the south—east. tonight we keep a lot of that cloud, again the chance of some rain, some lurk in the hills. the temperatures drop into single figures, double figures elsewhere though. wednesday, a largely cloudy day. misty in the morning, bright spells develop into the afternoon. relatively mild with highs of 15 to 19 celsius. goodbye for now. this is bbc news. our latest headlines: the prime minister promises that immigration will fall after brexit and there will be no preferential treatment for migrants coming from the european union.

former foreign secretary boris will later address a fringe event at the conservative party conference. he's expected to urge the party not to "ape" labour leaderjeremy corbyn. the number of people known to have died in friday's earthquake and tsunami in indonesia has risen to more than 1,200. a group of mothers are mounting a high court challenge surrey county council's proposal to cut its special needs and disability budgets by £21 million. european commission president jean—claudejuncker issues a fresh warning to the prime minister that there must be agreement on the irish border, if she wants a brexit deal. the government will change the law to allow opposite—sex couples in england and wales to enter into a civil partnership. under the current system, same—sex couples can choose to marry or register for a civil partnership whereas opposite—sex couples can only get married.

injune this year, the supreme court unanimously ruled in favour of rebecca steinfeld and charles keidan who won their legal bid for the right to have a civil partnership instead of a marriage. they will be talking to us injust a moment. first, let's speak to our political correspondent leila nathoo, who's in westminster for us. ijust said, something of i just said, something of what theresa may has said, the government putting out a press release, saying they are going to be doing this. but it has presumably been driven by that case in the supreme court i referred to. there has been pressure

on the government for some time regarding this issue. there was the 2004 civil partnership act that extended civil partnerships to same—sex couples and on the 2013 at that allowed same—sex couples to get married, those laws supposedly to end discrimination inadvertently campaigners said created a new form of discrimination where heterosexual couples actually had fewer options than same—sex couples. so there was that supreme court ruling back in june that put the pressure on but there was also a private members bill driven by a conservative backbencher going through the house of commons calling for the same thing. i don't think it was a huge surprise the government has now moved on this issue but as you say, the government saying it will now change the law to allow this option for same—sex couples to give them more legal protection, sorry heterosexual couples that choose not to get married can now enter into a

partnership that would give them the same legal protections as a married couple and the government says it will be consulting on the details. penny morden said it is an important step forward for equality. why did the government fight this legal case? at the time they won the case the supreme court they said that the government has wasted taxpayers' money. the government had been supportive, as i say, of this private members bill that was going through the commons. the indications we re through the commons. the indications were the government was sympathetic to the idea but their argument had a lwa ys to the idea but their argument had always been they needed time to consider the legal implications of the change to the law, to allow heterosexual couples to have the civil partnership so i think it was a delay rather than intention not to. and now they face clearly feel able to allow that legislation that

there will be a consultation on the technical details that will extend to all those legal protections that married couples are also allowed. thank you very much. we are hoping to have more on that shortly. let's return to our top story, that the prime minister has promised the uk will have control of its immigration policy for the first time in a decade after brexit. theresa may said low—skilled immigration will fall under a new visa system where it is "workers' skills that matter, not where they come from" the plans follow a recommendation by the migration advisory committee, which was also backed by labour. the cabinet agreed to the committee's recommendations last week. earlier, theresa may explained how the government's new migration policy will work. the policy we are announcing today, our future the policy we are announcing today, ourfuture immigration the policy we are announcing today, our future immigration policy, delivers on the result of the referendum, takes back control of our borders, it ensures that free movement comes to an end once and

for all and we will be deciding who can come into this country but we recognise the point you have made that businesses say that there are skills that they need, that they need to bring into this country, so the new system is going to be based not on where people come from but on what they can contribute to our economy. the skills that they have. of course, we are also working as a government to ensure we are building up government to ensure we are building up the skills of young people in the united kingdom but our new policy is crucially going to ensure free movement ends, it won't be... who can come here will be determined by what contribution they can make rather than where they come from. with me now is alp mehmet from migration watch uk. this has been well trailed. we knew it was on the way. now that theresa may is saying this is the right thing to do and it will mean immigration being cut, how do you react? i am not sure immigration will be cut, that is the problem. if

all the recommendations by the advisory committee are adopted, apart from restricting, curbing low skilled migration from the european union, we seem to be at the same time proposing to open it up to the re st of time proposing to open it up to the rest of the world. . apart from that, there will be no resident labour market test which is looking locally before we go overseas. they are going to extend the range of skills for which work permits will be... people will be able to qualify for work permits. they will be removing the cap of 20,700 that has beenin removing the cap of 20,700 that has been in place since 2011. all these things, we believe, are actually going to lead to not only compensate for those who won't be coming from the eu, but potentially increasing bya the eu, but potentially increasing by a substantial amount. you think the immigration figures will go up asa the immigration figures will go up as a result? that is the danger,

unless the government decides that for example the cap of 20,700 albeit extended and raised, which i accept needs to be done, but these sort of added measures that are being removed are potentially going to... we are going to be drawing in people from the rest of the world, the sort of lower skilled people, not the very highest, because business inevitably is going to be pressing for it, pressing for it because it is cheap. explain how that is going to increase when this is very specifically about targeting higher skilled migration and putting a salary limit on what workers... they have not actually said what those skills are going to be. but the migration advisory committee suggested that we do extend the

range of skills notjust suggested that we do extend the range of skills not just the suggested that we do extend the range of skills notjust the highest but those at a lower level as well and that is... but on salaries over £30,000. well, there is also something in there that suggests that the employer is also going to have responsibility and frankly, it is perfectly easy to manipulate the salary levels, as has been done already. for example, with the business, there is a proposal in place already, there is a measure in place already, there is a measure in place already, there is a measure in place already, where business, international companies, can bring in workers from other countries in order to service whatever it is that they're providing. that started off ata they're providing. that started off at a reasonable level, there are now 60,000 people coming to work in the london or the uk branches of these companies. that again isjust

london or the uk branches of these companies. that again is just adding to the potential numbers that are going to come here. what would you like to see much of business and a lot of sectors are concerned about this because they say actually particularly in catering, the nhs, the care sector, hospitality, building, they are all going to suffer. what i would say to them first of all is they have had two years at least to prepare for it. they have done nothing. secondly, we have still got another two years or so have still got another two years or so to go before any of these measures are put in place anyway. we have got to go through the legislation first and then it is going to be put in place, we are talking about four, five years that business will have had to prepare for it and they've done nothing. i acce pt for it and they've done nothing. i accept that the government is also proposing that business should be

training people from the resident labour force, that is absolutely right. but i also think they should be encouraged to do it as well and not give an easy option is to come out of it. and now we can speak to craig beaumont from the federation of small businesses. what is your reaction to this? we are happy with the push for it to be focused on the skills rather than nationality. but that does not mean we should choke off all the different elements of skills that small businesses say they need and we have always got a runnable when it comes to immigration that this country faces a skills shortage in a numberof country faces a skills shortage in a number of industries and that is growing. there is a real worry amongst the small business community. we need an immigration systematics add—on board and his employer responsive and can look at moments when they do need to recruit

from overseas. my guess was saying he thinks immigration is going to increase under this new system. what do you think? we're not an immigration think tank. we can't predict that. looking at where the direction of travel is going, if you are thinking about massively increasing the system, most small businesses don't use that, 95% of small businesses have never used it. it is too bureaucratic and costly. if you expand that, that will actually put a massive barrier in the way. we say the system needs to be reformed otherwise you will see a serious deficit people in all skills ranges and while everyone is talking about high skills, for small businesses, it is made skills, people like mechanics, office managers, carers, those type of work where we do need more people. why

are businesses so reliant on workers from overseas in those areas? everyone has bought into the fact that we have not done enough domestically. we need to massively operate apprenticeships and look at retraining and all sorts of ways to upscale our people because we are heading for record levels of employment, record levels of unemployment. it will take time and until that is ready, we need that period of time before a new immigration system comes in. and in the meantime, we will have to do recruit people from overseas. and actually, if you look at the current situation, about one in five small businesses employees an eu citizen and they have done that while that person lived here because of free movement, they were already here with the right to work. how do we make sure those people feel welcome and stay but also make it possible for people to come and work here? that is the kind of push we are doing today and we will hopefully be meeting sajid javid shortly to make our case.

we can now speak to rebecca steinfeld and charles keidan. injune they won a bid at the supreme court for the right to have a civil partnership instead of a marriage. theyjoin us they join us now. theyjoin us now. thank you very much forjoining us. how do you react to this? well, we are delighted with this wonderful news from the government today. and we thank the prime minister and the minister for women thank the prime minister and the ministerfor women and thank the prime minister and the minister for women and equality is to announcing they are committed to ending the current situation and opening civil partnerships to everybody so that couples like

ourselves can formalise our relationship in a way that we see fit and have the legal recognition and financial protections. it took you a long fight to get your victory in the supreme court in the end. how do you feel about the way it has now unfolded with the government actually deciding to change the law and saying it is the right thing to do for equality? we certainly feel vindicated after four years, three court cases, a resounding victory in the supreme court. the government has finally done what i think everyone could see was for the country's benefit. there are millions of cohabiting couples in his country, many of whom want to have the protections and security they need and deserve. the measure will be good for families. it will be popular across the country. what we now need to see in addition to the good intentions, the intention the good intentions, the intention the government has set out' the ships, we need to see legislative

action. what we are not clear about this whether a timetable has been introduced to lightweight know when the first partnerships can be formed. we need to hold the government to account to actually make good on its promise. but we are delighted by the news. rebecca, at the time of the ruling at the supreme court injune, you said we are elated but we also feel frustrated the government has wasted taxpayers' money in fighting a blatant inequality. any morden has today said it is an important step forward for equality. —— penny morden. how do you feel now about it being a long fight and an expensive fight? we are not able to bear a grudge and we think the important thing now is that the government has said it is going to extend, it is doing the right thing. what we want now is a commitment to a clear timetable for the government to identify the

legislative mechanism they are going to use to open civil partnerships for all. tim lawton, the conservative mp, has a private members bill going through the house of commons at the moment. it will be very easy for the government at that point to table an amendment to extend civil partnerships to all. we are going to look forward and we just want to press the government now to hammer out the details so that civil partnerships can be a reality for everybody in this country. penny morden and has also saidi country. penny morden and has also said i pay tribute to all that have campaigned to this change. i presume she needs you specifically. how important... 0bviously she needs you specifically. how important... obviously it was important to you, but why was it you initially decided to take on this and to fight it in the way that you did? at the time, i think we found ourselves as accidental campaigners. we thought the law was going to change back in 2014. they were the

case is going before the courts, european courts. but what we realised was we were past the point of no return. it was notjust realised was we were past the point of no return. it was not just about us. of no return. it was not just about us. there are many thousands, indeed millions of couples, many of whom would love to be able to form a civil partnership and it was the support they gave and politicians and people from across the critical spectrum at a time when there are deep divisions in this country. it has been remarkable to see, cross—party political has been remarkable to see, cross— party political support ranging from conservative figures to other figures on the other side of the spectrum, all coming together saying this would be good for families and children and why not get on and introduce it? now we hope to see a transformed into action and we hope it will be available to different sex couples very soon. presumably as soon as you can, you will set a date? absolutely! it has

been for you long years. we are eager to set a date. we are also aware of another couple in a much more dire situation than us. and we wa nt more dire situation than us. and we want them to be amongst the first to be able to form a civil partnership because this insecurity that cohabiting couples have really means that they suffer material detriment if the relationship, if they separate or if one of the parties dies, they are in a vulnerable position financially and do not have equal position. we strongly urge the government to legislate so that we can all celebrate. congratulations and thank you very much. let me bring you some breaking news from indonesia. we are hearing that the death toll has gone up again. it is now almost 1500 people now known to have died in the salami which hit

the indonesian island last friday. a national disaster agency has said the latest estimate is actually 1492 deaths but they are still unable to reach some areas “— deaths but they are still unable to reach some areas —— tsunami. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. the government will change the law to allow heterosexual couples in england and wales to enter into a civil partnership. the prime minister promises that immigration will fall after brexit and there will be no preferential treatment for migrants coming from the european union. the number of people known to have died in the earthquake and tsunami in indonesia rises to more than and tsunami in indonesia rises to more than 1,490. time now for the biggest headlines.

—— business headlines. a budget airline that began offering long—haul flights from uk airports earlier this year, including sta nsted to the us, has collapsed. primera air said it was ceasing all operations at midnight on monday after 14 years of operations. flights to washington and new york due to leave stansted on monday night were grounded and passengers have been told not to go to the airport on tuesday. mike ashley's firm sports direct has sacked the senior management at house of fraserjust weeks after it bought the chain. in a one—sentence statement, sports direct said it had "dismissed the former directors and senior management of house of fraser". those departing the chain will include chief executive alex williamson. it is not clear who will replace the management team at house of fraser. toyota motor europe chiefjohan van zyl has said a brexit without a deal would affect the firm's investment decisions. the uk is on course to leave the european union in march next year, but the two sides have yet to strike a deal. mr van zyl told the bbc if the firm is unable to sell into the eu market duty free, it will harm its uk operations. it's all change at the top

of house of fraser. just weeks after buying the department store group, mike ashley's sports direct has announced it's sacking house of fraser's management team. mr ashley has vowed to turn the department store chain into the "harrods of the high street" and to keep most of its stores open. so is this a good move or, as some have said, is it a heavy handed move? joining us now is george macdonald, executive editor at retail week. what is your opinion? a good move for a little bit too much, too soon? i don't think it is a surprising decision. house of fraser was limping along for months on end. it did not really come good on its promises and ended up going down, owing a great deal of money to people. in that respect, i don't think it is surprisingly is bit is understandable. at the same time, if you are an investor in sports

direct, you don't have any idea who now is running the business day today and what exactly is going to happen to turn house of fraser into the harrods of the high street and make investors some money back. house of fraser has had huge issues. not least of course because the high street itself has had problems but also if you look at its board of directors and high—level management, including alex williamson appointed a little over a year ago, there is a lack of retail experience. that is why he was brought in. the idea was as with other department stores, he would make house of fraser shops great places to go for a brilliant experience, i think a lot more leisure as well as product. but under the former ownership, quite opaque ownership, the chinese tycoon, nothing really seemed to

happen. and house of fraser spent most of this year trying to restructure and on the hunt for fresh investment. i don't really think many people from the former management team come out with much credit. you touched on this a second ago but we are coming up with the all—important ago but we are coming up with the all—importa nt pre—christmas trade period. many people will be asking if his management team has been removed from house of fraser, who is going to manage the firm going forward ? going to manage the firm going forward? well, it is a really important question. you see time and time again in retail what difference a really experienced management team makes. it is unclear to what extent mike ashley will get involved himself. he is a very controversial character. that said, he is a great entrepreneur. he has bolstered his own management team at sports direct with some hires from outside the company. they have brought some fresh thinking and you might say

have made it more professional, rather than the traditional entrepreneurial style it would once have adopted. there are grounds for optimism. but at the moment, it is very difficult to tell. there was one paragraph, the announcement about dismissing the management team, we have seen in other cases noticeably homebase but when you get rid of the entire incumbent management it can take a lot of time to sort out the resulting chaos. thank you very much indeed. royal mail share prices down after huge falls yesterday after announced profit forecasts were being cut. that's all the business news. the winner of the royal institute of british architects' most prestigious award, the riba stirling prize, will be announced on wednesday 10th october. the nominations to become britain's best new building 2018 includes student housing,

an office building, cemetery, art gallery, lecture theatre and a nursery school. today, we look at bloomberg in central london by foster + partners, a highly—innovative new workplace in the city, which pushes architectural boundaries and seeks to enhance the neighbouring public realm. bloomberg is a globalfinancial information company. in 2008, we realised we were running out of space. 0ur population in london was growing dramatically and so we commissioned our own building. the building is thought to be the largest stone project in the city of london since st paul's cathedral. mike bloomberg felt very strongly that he wanted the outside and the interior to be completely contrasting so the outside would be restrained and elegant and the

interior would be dynamic and open. unlike most offices, instead of a big central core with all of the elevator and staircases, we pushed them to the outside and actually made the people the core of the building. when you first control building, you will come to our discreet entrance, through which you will flow into the vortex, take the glass lift up to the sixth floor and come out in the pantry, which is the heart of all of our bloomberg buildings. you get a stunning view of saint pauls. and then they can flow through this on an architectural masterpiece ramp. foster is really think outside the box. they were really creative in responding to our functional business needs. we developed the multifunctional ceiling, made from 2.5 million polished aluminium petals. i am really proud to work

for a complete that has invested so much in our working environment. it really embodies the spirit of transparency, innovation that is so fundamental to bloomberg 's ethos. you can find out more about all five nominated buildings on the bbc arts website and watch this year's riba stirling prize live here on the bbc news next wednesday evening between 8.30 and 9. tom hanks, beyonce and ed sheeran have all done it, but how's this for a famous photo—bomb? sir paul mccartney came together with this canadian couple taking pictures for their wedding. the former beatle was in winnipeg, for a concert when he passed the couple while on a bike ride. time now for the weather forecast. thank you very much indeed. it has been rather cloudy this morning. we

have had some patchy rain and drizzle this morning as well. and while we will continue with a little drizzle here and there, for most of us drizzle here and there, for most of us this afternoon is going to be dry. for most of us it will stay quite cloudy. but there is some sunshine and that is particularly across eastern parts of england up in towards scotland. sunny spells but quieter —— quite a breezy afternoon. it will feel quite chilly where we have got that sunshine. more cloud in the south and west. it will be milder. tonight we stay rather cloudy, misty and murky across northern ireland, wales, south—western areas of england. that is where temperatures will stay in double figures. where you have as clear spells it will be a chilly night. temperatures down into single figures. 0n night. temperatures down into single figures. on wednesday, a lot of cloud as well again. write about developing into the afternoon. mostly dry and mild. temperatures 16

to 19 celsius. this is bbc news, i'm joanna gosling. these are the top stories developing at midday. the government will change the law to allow heterosexual couples in england and wales to enter into a civil partnership. campaigners welcomed the move. campaigners welcomed the movem they separate, or one of the party dies, they are vulnerable, they don't have legal recognition. there is an urgency here to legislate. we strongly urge the government to legislate so that we can all celebrate. the prime minister promises that immigration will fall after brexit, and there will be no preferential treatment for migrants coming from the european union. the policy we are announcing today on future immigration delivers on the result of the referendum. it takes back control of the borders and ensures that free movement comes to an end once and for all. we will decide who can come into this country. this is the scene live in birmingham where

home secretary sajid javid is about to speak. he's expected to say middle—class drug users will be targeted as part of a crackdown on the causes of violent crime. the number of people known to have died in the earthquake and tsunami in indonesia rises to more than 1,200. almost 200,000 people are in need of urgent help, the united nations says, among them thousands of children. people who have made it here are getting food and limited clean water. they have two meals a day, rice and egg. but they are running out of water, and that is the main concern now. anger as passengers are left stranded as the budget airline primera air, which offered cheap flights to north america and spain, collapses. re—living a bombing mission over berlin: how a wartime recording

by the bbc was brought back to life by virtual reality. good afternoon. it's tuesday the 2nd of october. the government is to change the law in england and wales so that heterosexual couples can seek a civil partnership. injune that the supreme court ruled that the current law was illegal because it only apply to same—sex couples. more than 3 million heterosexual couples live together and share financial responsibility. nearly half of them have children. rebecca steinfeld and charles keidan, who won a bid

at the supreme court for the right to have a civil partnership instead of a marriage injune, gave me their reaction to the change in law. we are delighted with this wonderful news from the government today. we thank the prime minister and the minister for women thank the prime minister and the ministerfor women and thank the prime minister and the minister for women and equality for finally announcing that they are committed to ending the current situation, and opening civil partnerships to everybody, so that couples like charlie and myself can formalise our relationships how we see fit and have legal recognition and financial protection. it took a long fight to get your victory in the supreme court, how do you feel about the way it's now one folding with the government actually deciding to change the law? we certainly feel vindicated after four years, ford equality ministers, the

court cases, a resounding victory in the supreme court, the government has finally done what was in our benefit, and the country's benefit. millions of couples in this country wa nt millions of couples in this country want to have the protections and security be neat and it will be good for families. it will be popular across the country. what we now need to see, in addition to good intentions, we now need to see legislative action. what we aren't clear about is whether they timetable has been introduced, so that we know when the first civil partnerships between different sex couples can be formed. we need to press the government and hold them to account to make good on this promise to extend them. as rebecca said, we are delighted. rebecca, at the time of the ruling injune you said, we are related, but we feel frustrated that the government has wasted taxpayers money fighting what thejudges called a

wasted taxpayers money fighting what the judges called a blatant inequality. the equalities minister has today said it is an important step forward for equality. how do you feel about the fact that it was, a long fight, and an expensive one for both sides? it has been long and expensive but we aren't people to bear a grudge. the important thing now is that the government has said it is going to extend, doing the right thing. what we want is commitment to a clear timetable, and for the government to identify the mechanism they were used to open civil partnerships for all. a conservative mp has a private members bill going through the house at the moment, the final readings on the 26th of october. it would be easy for the government to table an amendment, so i think we aren't going to look forward, we are going to press the government to hammer out the details, so that civil partnerships can be a reality for eve ryo ne partnerships can be a reality for everyone in this country. let me

bring you some breaking news from birmingham. we are hearing that a man who stabbed his ageing old daughter to death with a kitchen knife has been jailed daughter to death with a kitchen knife has beenjailed for life. with a minimum term of 27 years —— eight—year—old daughter. this is a picture of him. he was convicted yesterday. the judge, picture of him. he was convicted yesterday. thejudge, paul farrer, has just yesterday. thejudge, paul farrer, hasjust said in passing the sentence that he was driven by jealousy and anger, and he killed his daughter in order to cause pain to her mother. it took thejudyjust over one hour to convicted yesterday. he was also found guilty of threatening to kill the girl's mother. this is a picture of the little girl, there was an impact statement prepared by her mother yesterday, and extracts from that we re yesterday, and extracts from that were read to the court. she

described william billingham's action as despicable, and selfish. she referred to her daughter as a lwa ys she referred to her daughter as always smiling, and said that on the 20th of january her life fell apart. she said her daughter was taken from us she said her daughter was taken from us bya she said her daughter was taken from us by a man who was supposed to protect and care for her. i wasn't able to hold her as she lay dying, i couldn't comfort her. she described her daughter is perfect, saying she loved to dance and sing. the defence lawyer representing billingham said his real punishment was that he was still breathing, and he referred to attem pts still breathing, and he referred to attempts that william billingham had made to take his own life. he has been sentenced to life with a minimum term of 27 years. let's ta ke let's take you back to birmingham. the prime minister has promised the uk will have control of its immigration policy for the first time in decades after brexit.

theresa may said low—skilled immigration will fall let's go straight to norman smith in birmingham. we are expecting to hear from the home secretary in just a few moments. iimagine we i imagine we will get more details of those plans to end freedom of movement, a pledge which theresa may has made absolutely central to her brexit commitments. questions are already being asked about the impact on to those communities, and the sector is reliant on it. but let's hear from the sector is reliant on it. but let's hearfrom the home sector is reliant on it. but let's hear from the home secretary. i stand here as home secretary. now, i know the question that is on your mind. so let's deal with it now, upfront. yes, i did watch poker mag with a bodyguard. no, it wasn't

realistic. for a start, with a bodyguard. no, it wasn't realistic. fora start, my with a bodyguard. no, it wasn't realistic. for a start, my code name is not a lavender. and, she didn't even do the power stance. let me tell you another story. a story which started in the 1960s, a man left pa kista n which started in the 1960s, a man left pakistan and landed in heathrow. he spent what little he had on a coach to get, he spent his first night right here in birmingham. then he continued up north to lancashire, to find work on a. after standing outside the mill for weeks he got his firstjob. then he started a family. eventually, they were seven of us in a two—bedroom flat, on what the papers

called britain's most dangerous street. that's my story. and if you had told me then what i would be doing now, iwould had told me then what i would be doing now, i would tell you, there is less believable than any tv drama. it makes me so proud, not just for myself and my family, but for my country. so, what does the conservative party had to offer a son of an immigrant from working—class backgrounds in rochdale, you made him home secretary! now, this new challenge is something that i'm giving absolutely

everything to. i am especially grateful to have one of the best ministerial teams, we've got caroline noakes, ministerial teams, we've got caroline noa kes, ben ministerial teams, we've got caroline noakes, ben wallace, nick berg, victoria atkins and susan williams, backed up by a fantastic parliamentary team, simon, rachel, paul, so thank you to my whole team at the home office. there is something profound about that word, home. most of my counterparts ran a world, they run ministries of the interior, interior ministry, it's got a cold, brittle feel about it. home, it's where you feel safe, co mforta ble, home, it's where you feel safe, comfortable, and in control. it reflects your identity, and your values. it's your base for going out into the wider world. that's exactly

the kind of place we want the uk to be. here's the pledge of this party, britain, a home for all its citizens, together, we will build a stronger home. now, beyond britain, outside our home, the winds of division and extremism are blowing strong. all over the world, we are seeing appeal being made to intolerance, closed societies, aggressive nationalism, autocracy, not here. not in conservative britain. it might not always feel like it, but our mainstream values and cultural values unite us all. we are, and will continue to be, the home of rule of law, civil liberties, firm but fair immigration, racial equality, and respect for everyone of our citizens. we will fight there with

optimism, prejudice with tolerance, we will fight hate with hope. that is our kind of conservatism. we chose the path of modern britain, global britain. that is the opportunity, and the challenge that leaving the european union represents. to meet our best potential, we need to bring the country together. the worst way to do that would be to backtrack on the referendum result, if brexit feels like a referendum result, if brexit feels likea dividing referendum result, if brexit feels like a dividing line now, just imagine what it would feel like if we didn't follow through on the result of the referendum. that was the home secretary speaking at the party conference in

birmingham. we will continue to bring you coverage of the speech, right now we say goodbye to viewers on bbc two. we all agreed, we all agreed to honour the results. so let's get on with it. no second—guessing, no best—of—3, one vote, one man did, one nation, moving forward together. this is a time to reaffirm our identity, and our values as a country. to renew our sense of citizenship, what it means, what is it part of? and to do whatever we can to protect our society and its values in the years to come. so i wa nt to values in the years to come. so i want to talk to you today about how we keep our homes safe. how we should come and will, continue to welcome people into our home, and make sure that our rules and values

are upheld for the good of everyone. we are going to get these things right, we are going to heal divisions, and we will build that stronger home. the first duty of government is keeping our nation, and people safe. so security underpins our liberty and prosperity. last year, we experienced five terror attacks on british soil. this year, we have seen a british soil. this year, we have seen a brazen attack on salisbury, bya seen a brazen attack on salisbury, by a hostile state. for every successful attempt that makes news headlines, many plots are disrupted, many cyber attacks are neutralised, many cyber attacks are neutralised, many journeys to many cyber attacks are neutralised, manyjourneys to radicalisation are cut short. i've been deeply impressed by the smart, committed people, who spend their careers protecting us. i want to pay tribute to both amber rudd and the prime

minister for their dedication, firmness and integrity that they brought to the role. they deserve our profound thanks. i'd like to say something else, something that is a little uncomfortable, but it needs to be said. not all threats come from outside, anything that undermines our response to threats is a threat itself. imagine having someone in number ten who has voted against vital counterterrorism legislation. someone who refuses to condemn the kremlin over an attack on our soil. someone who seriously suggested sending a nerve agent sample to vladimir putin, so that the russians

could tell us what it was. who compared the actions of the us military, our closest ally, to daesh. who voted against banning al-qaeda. this is the truth, these are the facts, and on these facts alone, jeremy corbyn is a threat to our national security. let me tell you something else. this isn't a party political point. because a vast number of labour mps know this is right. if mr corbyn we re ever know this is right. if mr corbyn were ever to be prime minister, this

behaviour, it wouldn't be naive, it wouldn't just be misguided, behaviour, it wouldn't be naive, it wouldn'tjust be misguided, it would be downright dangerous, and it is our duty to stop him. keeping our liberal, tolerant democracy safe is about more than national security. the threats to our law—abiding society an evolving. we must evolve with them and step up our response. 0nline, there are new threats to our cyber security, and keeping children safe. i won't flinch from responding to these challenges. that includes standing up challenges. that includes standing up to the tech giants and demanding they take their responsibilities seriously. they should be in no doubt, we will legislate, how we legislate will be influenced by the actions they choose to take now. 0ffline, the scandal of child

grooming gangs is one of the most shocking state failings that i can remember. i... and i will not let cultural or political sensitivities get in the way of understanding the problem and doing something about it. it isa it is a statement of fact, the fact that both saddened and angers me, that both saddened and angers me, that most of the men in recent high—profile convictions have had pakistani heritage. this behaviour isa pakistani heritage. this behaviour is a disgrace to that heritage. so i have instructed my officials to look into this and wrenchingly, and where evidence suggests that there are certain cultural factors i will not hesitate to act. just as there is damage in

insensitive words or actions, these cases have shown the cost of being oversensitive. as well as the awful cost of victims, if problems like this are left unchecked, they will also fuel those who want to stoke the division between our communities. this is how the seeds of destruction are sown. i am in a position to deal with this confidently, and i will. those who break the law, they undermine the foundations of our home, that's why conservatives will always be the party of law and order. i know that some people are starting to feel a sense that law enforcement is too detached from day—to—day crime, too distant from our rural areas. faced

with increasing demands and finite resources , with increasing demands and finite resources, police forces do a fantasticjob, resources, police forces do a fantastic job, and i resources, police forces do a fantasticjob, and i will always support them. the rise of serious violence in london and other cities is especially worrying. there is no time for sitting around, when young people are dying on our streets. we need to bring everything, and eve ryo ne need to bring everything, and everyone to bear on this. through our serious violence strategy we have pulled together all the different parts of government, law enforcement and society, and we will do more. we will take steps to introduce a new strategy for all agencies to tackle the problem together. that means health, education, social services, local government, housing, the whole lot. iam also government, housing, the whole lot. i am also pleased to announce today a new £200 million endowment fund, that will target young people at the risk of starting a life of crime and violence. applause.

we know one of the causes and the rise of serious violence is the changes in the market of illegal drugs. we need a much better understanding of who are drug users are, what they take, how often they ta ke are, what they take, how often they take it, and so much more. so i will launch a major review of the market for drugs, and with the evidence i will set up a fight against drugs and gangs that prey on our children. 0n and gangs that prey on our children. on my watch, illegal drug use will never be tolerated. it's fundamental to our sense of security, but the homes and streets that we live in feel safe. i do have a confession to make though. it's a

confession i have two share with the police federation. when i was younger, i was in a gang. a gang of two. it involves me, and my brother. i was 11, two. it involves me, and my brother. iwas11, and two. it involves me, and my brother. i was 11, and he was nine. we were called the crime—busters. 0ur mission was to find crime, and stop it. our equipment, to old bikes and to cheap walkie—talkies. years later, my little brother is still a crime—buster, only this time, for real. he is a chief superintendent right here in the west midlands, and iam so, right here in the west midlands, and i am so, so proud of him. and i also know that we are all very

grateful to west midlands police for all the sporting forces keeping us safe europe conference. —— and all the supporting forces keeping us safe here at conference. you can believe me when i say i will be the champion of giving the police the tools and the protection they need tools and the protection they need to do theirjob. we must trust are pleased to do theirjob, they are being forces of the rules, if those rules break down, so does the sense of fairness, trust and security. it doesn't matter who you are, how old you are, where you are from, in britain, everybody plays by the same rules, because we all share in the same hope. sometimes you have two be tough in enforcing schedules, but being strong and safe doesn't have too mean being closed and

unwelcoming. we are so lucky, so lucky, to live in an open and well funded society. i'm proud of the welcome we give to people from other countries. that openness to the world has helped us to thrive, if you look at some countries across europe, populist, nationalist, even outright racist parties have won seats. not here. we see people from diverse backgrounds succeeding in all walks of life, and at all levels. this progress is happening in our politics too. that requires role models and pioneers. people on all sides. including role models and pioneers. people on allsides. including people role models and pioneers. people on all sides. including people that we wouldn't normally praise in our party conference. people like diane abbott. yes, diane abbott. we might

disagree with the shadow home secretary on almost all her policies, but it takes guts and termination to be the first black woman to be elected to the house of commons and we should pay tribute to her. as conservatives, we focus on not where you from, but where you can go. we believe in opportunity for all, we believe in respect, i mean for all. every individual, all, we believe in respect, i mean forall. every individual, every community, must feel safe to live their lives in our society. but at this moment, this is not true. this is something i never expected to say in the 21st—century britain. it is deeply shocking, to see an entire

community, ourjewish community, united in their fears and concerns about a major political party, and to see... and to see that party is specially its leader, repeatedly failing to respond to those concerns and the seriousness that required. this party will root out anti—semitism whenever and wherever we find it. anti—muslim prejudice is also com pletely anti—muslim prejudice is also completely unacceptable. it is a prejudice... it is a prejudice that sometimes turns into violence. and i know from family and friends, that

people in the muslim community need reassurance. and we stand with them too, together, for all our citizens, we will build a stronger home. this is my view, and what it means to be british, following the decision to leave the eu we have the need and opportunity to define our country once more. to define ourselves, at home and abroad, so i want to talk to you about our shared british values, and what we should be as a country. because, at its best, britain is open, welcoming and tolerant. but britain also has high expectations. for the behaviours and standards, the values of which we are all bound. i stand before you as the first home secretary in a

generation that has actually defined and immigration system without being restrained by the eu. this is an incredible opportunity, and it falls to us to ensure that these rules, aren't just to us to ensure that these rules, aren'tjust some democratic exercise, they are an expression of our values, our british values. we shouldn't brush aside the legitimate concerns that many people, most people, had about the way that the immigration was managed. the anxieties of people on low pay, or low paid jobs, the responsible way that labour increased immigration without any real mandate, which has understandably, undermined the public‘s trust. they lost faith that politicians would manage immigration sustainably. that doesn't have to

mean that they are hostile to individuals, because they're not. just look at the reaction to the difficulties faced by interpreters who helped our troops. caribbean families, who started coming here in the 1950s, when the british public cries out for decency, they are usually right. the windrush scandal was a public policy failure many yea rs was a public policy failure many years in the making. these were people who, rightfully, settled here from the commonwealth and became pillars of our communities. the way the system has been treating them over many yea rs, the system has been treating them over many years, deeply offended our sense of fairness. we are doing everything to put it right. 0ur eyes were opened in a different way by the tragedy of grand felt.

that fire affected a truly diverse section of residence. even responding to it was the most moving and harrowing experience of my life. it lay bare how some of the communities have not been given the same standards and opportunities that we all expect and we have to put that right. but there is a wider, more positive story here. it is my strong belief that immigration has been good for britain. we have adopted... we have adopted many of the best bits of other countries. it has made asa bits of other countries. it has made as a global hub for culture, business, travel, it has broadened our horizons and boosted our economy and so many ways. it has made our

home is stronger and after brexit, we still need it to stay strong and prosperous. we want to welcome people to this country. and i say to those eu citizens who have already made the uk their home, you'll have benefited our country, you are part of our country, part of many of our families, part of our home. let me be very clear, deal or no deal, we wa nt be very clear, deal or no deal, we want you to stay, we need you to stay, you can stay. thanks to the referendum, we now have a unique opportunity to reshape our immigration system for the future. a skills —based single system that is open to talent from

across the world. a system that does not discriminate between any one region or any one country. a system based on merit. thatjudges people not by where they are from but what they can do. what people want and what they will get is control of our own immigration system. with a lower and sustainable level of net migration and above all, that has to mean one thing, an end to freedom of movement. a safe home. an open, welcoming, tolera nt a safe home. an open, welcoming, tolerant home. and finally, a home of shared values. a home where all the different resonance and guests, they come together under one roof, with one common set of values to live by for everyone's benefit and comfort. we welcome newcomers. in turn, we expect them to live by our

british values. and it is only right that we make it clear to all new to citizens what we are for and what we are gains. the existing life in the uk are gains. the existing life in the u k test are gains. the existing life in the uk test for new citizens is not enough. maybe it is helpful to know the name of henry viii sixth wife but far more important to me is that you also understand the liberal, democratic values that bind our society together. citizenship is a lot more than just being able to win a pub quiz. so we need to be able to make it a british values test and thatis make it a british values test and that is exactly what i will bring it is about signing up to those values. the values that we all share and live by together. it is about starting as you mean to go on. it is

about integration, not segregation. and i am determined to break down barriers to integration whenever i find them. take for example the most basic barrier of all. language. when i was communities secretary, we found that over 700,000 people in the uk cannot even speak a basic level of english. 700,000. how can we possibly make a common home together if we can't even communicate with each other? that's why i created a new integrated communities fund to work with people already in our country. and now as home secretary, i will apply these principles to those who arrive in our country. so not only

will there be a new values test but we will also strengthen the english language requirements for all new citizens. getting integration right also means breaking down barriers to our values. i think especially of those oppressive medieval practices that affect women. things like forced marriage, female genital mutilation and so—called honour —based violence. we already have some of the toughest laws in the world against these crimes. but we need to do more. so, we will consult on making it a mandatory duty for professionals to report forced marriage whenever they come across it. and when women have the courage to come forward and inform us that they have been forced to sponsor a spouse

of these against their will, we will not only protect their anonymity, but we will also do everything we can to deny and revoke that visa. it is not liberal to stay silent about a liberal practices. that is just weakness. if we see people undermining our values and we don't do anything about it, we undermine those values still further. we cannot allow that and we will not allow that. and we will not stand back when some people go absolutely against everything we stand for. if you leave our home and you go abroad tojoina you leave our home and you go abroad tojoin a terrorist you leave our home and you go abroad to join a terrorist group, you are rejecting our values and endangering

our security. that is why in the counterterrorism and border security bill, we will introduce a new designated area offence. this gives the home secretary the power to criminalise travel to her terrorist hotspots. you have to have a darn good reason to go somewhere like that and if you don't, we will prosecute you. and if you are actively engaged in fighting for these groups, you should also know that you are putting your citizenship at risk. the home secretary has the power to strip dual citizens of their british citizenship. it is a power used for

extreme and exceptional cases. it should of course be used with great ca re should of course be used with great care and discretion but also determination. in recent years, we have exercise this power for terrorists who are a threat to our country. now for the first time, i will apply this power to some of those who have been convicted of the most grave criminal offences. and this applies to some of the despicable men involved in gang rape " gang despicable men involved in gang rape —— gang —based child exploitation. so my message to the very worst criminals is clear. if you grossly abuse the laws of this country, you will no longer be welcome in our home. it is when we are comfortable with

our own security, identity and values, that we are also comfortable being open with others, whether at home or abroad. that means building that safe home, that tolerant and welcoming home, that home where eve ryo ne welcoming home, that home where everyone plays by the same rules. we are the party that can make this happen. driven by a patriotic belief in what this country is about and what we are capable of. we are proud of who we are, proud of what we do, and proud of where we are going. i speak with feeling about this country. because for my family, britain was a choice, they came here forfreedom, britain was a choice, they came here for freedom, security, opportunity and prosperity. it is because of these strengths that i have always been an optimist about britain's

future and now it is my duty as their son, as a child of his country, to help secure for this generation and for future generations, all of the things that make this country a beacon for the world. together we will build that stronger home. thank you. the home secretary, sajid javid, addressing the tory party conference in birmingham, speaking personally, as the son of an immigrant and the pride that he has at the fact that he became home secretary. he said this country made the son of an immigrant kid from rochdale home secretary and talking at obviously... sorry, just watching how many empty seats there are in the hall as they filter out from

having listened to sajid javid. we will talk in a moment about why that might be. they were listening to sajid javid and aside from his personal experience of immigration, he was also talking about changes to immigration going forward after brexit. let's speak to our political correspondent. we will talk about why they were dragged there may have been empty seats, because there were quite a lot of them, in a moment. but give us an analysis of what he was saying. this is an important moment, talking about a new immigration system for the united kingdom after brexit. this has been long promised and we know from a meeting of the cabinet last week that they did come to a conclusion over all of this and the main thing being that citizens from the eu will not get the same preferential treatment that they get now, that freedom of movement will end. that was such a huge part of course of the referendum campaign

and the brexit vote, many people feel. to be able to come to this conservative conference and say that freedom of movement will end is of course a significant moment for the home secretary. let's discuss this a little bit more withjosh hardy. the business world not quite so happy about it as some of the people in that audience. freedom of movement is ending and it is an opportunity to build a new immigration system that is open for controllers well. business will have two main controllers well. business will have two main concerns controllers well. business will have two main concerns from what they have heard today. firstly it sounds like this is prioritising the brightest and the best. we need to understand many people here to build our houses, staff our hospitals. this idea you can have a one size fits all system for the whole world. that does not reflect the ways that we make trade deals. the current syste m we make trade deals. the current system we have globally, less than 196 system we have globally, less than 1% of businesses can use it because it is so bureaucratic. we must not impose that across the world. what sajid javid is saying is it will be

based on skills, most were rather than the entry you come from. as long as there is a range of skills. it is about a whole range of labour that we'd across the country. we have re cord labour that we'd across the country. we have record levels of implement. we have record levels of implement. we have record levels of implement. we have skills shortages, people shortages all over the country. skills, yes, but a wide range. what is the first thing that whether it is the first thing that whether it is india australia will ask us when we are talking about trade deals? they will say what flexibility is therefore a better system for immigration when we work more closely together. having that flexibility, starting with eu, our biggest trading partner, is important. when you talk about areas where there is a shortage of staff, what areas are you most concerned about? some people say businesses are being complacent, they have brought in low skilled, cheap labour from the eu and they have not bothered training british workers. business spend £45 million a year on

training workers. there is a lot of money being spent. can we do more? yes. can we spend more money more effectively? absolutely. let's get on with that. but in real life, on the ground, we do have shortages. whether that is in construction from a high skilled level to a builder '5 level. whether it is in hospitality, farms, that exists now. yes, get on with training but in the meantime all we do that, be able to access the skills we need and the people we need to grow our economy. you are worried about the bureaucratic nature may be of any new system. do you fear that the home office does not have the capacity to bring in a system that is going to work and be flexible enough? those businesses coming when are currently using the non—eu system find it difficult. particularly for small businesses. it is a real block on access to people and growth. whatever the new system is, it needs

to be simplified. it needs to be more effective. it needs to get rid of this arbitrary cap which stops as being able to reflect the needs we have in our economy. businesses will need time to adapt to the new system. that is important, when this is going to come in. what are your worries about how quickly this might have to be implement it and whether it can be done in time? there are worries about how quickly business can adapt. we have been absolutely clear, build in that time, notjust training, but for getting ready for a new system. also the home office will need to build huge new processes to deliver this. it must work can be efficient and give the people applying to come here a good experience of our country. don't rush it, implemented well. how do you feel now, with six months to go? there is talk that a deal still can be done and speaking to some cabinet ministers, they do feel cautiously optimistic that it can be

done. what are you behind the scenes telling cabinet ministers? it is absolutely key that we maintain frictionless trade with the eu. that is so important for growth and jobs eu. that is so important for growth andjobs in eu. that is so important for growth and jobs in this country. the chequers plan, whatever we want to call it, is the only plan on the table that is agreed by the cabinet and is being put to eu. we should be confident and ambitious that we can get a model like that across the line. it is going to be challenging and we will need to compromise but the more united and focused we are, the more united and focused we are, the better chance we have for success and that success is critical forjobs, wages, living standards, up forjobs, wages, living standards, up and down the uk. josh hardy, thank you very much indeed. that is the view from business. some concerns about this new immigration system. there will be we think some sort of white paper being brought forward this autumn with more details on how that will work. you would think the home secretary speaking at the tory party conference would be box office. he

would have been speaking to a full capacity audience but he was not. there were lots of empty seats. have people been heading off to see boris johnson? he is due to speak at 1pm. yes, i think that is the case. there are hundreds of people queueing to get into another large hall to see borisjohnson. i get into another large hall to see boris johnson. i think get into another large hall to see borisjohnson. i think we have some pictures of the people queueing. and people will be desperately trying to get in, even the media will have to have allocated seats. he is due to speakfor some have allocated seats. he is due to speak for some time and i think yet again he will be repeating his concerns about the so—called chequers deal that the prime minister has. it is drawing a lot of attention. i spoke to one cabinet minister earlier who said they would not be there because they had a prearranged lunch and sometimes we have two get over our own self—importance. not everyone wanting to sit in the front row for all of that. i also spoke to a

disconsolate defence minister who realises his speech will clash with borisjohnson ‘s realises his speech will clash with boris johnson ‘s and realises his speech will clash with borisjohnson ‘s and he said, i am not sure there will be many people turning up for my speech. we will have to wait to see what boris johnson has the save. whether there is anything new in it. he will repeat his concerns but he has resigned from the cabinet. is he prepared to go any further? how else can he have an influence over the direction the government is going in all of this? i am sure he will get a pretty warm reception from those in that very large hall. thank you very much. yes, they increased the capacity from 1000 to 1500. we will bring you live coverage of boris johnson 1500. we will bring you live coverage of borisjohnson ‘s speech at1pm on coverage of borisjohnson ‘s speech at 1pm on bbc news. the number of people known to have died in friday's earthquake

and tsunami in indonesia has risen to more than and tsunami in indonesia has risen to more than 1,300. the country's disaster response agency says that the death—toll could still rise significantly as many people may still be trapped under the rubble of buildings. the uk government is sending two million pounds to help with the relief effort. jenny kumah reports. homes and lives destroyed in palu. the survivors are facing their fifth day without power and water. around 48,000 people have nowhere to live. but, amid the despair, there is hope. after days under the rubble, rescuers managed to release this man from his concrete tomb. the authorities have confirmed there was a fault with the tsunami detection system. a warning was sent out, but it appears to have underestimated the scale of the waves, and many didn't get the alerts because of power cuts. when the flooding hit, this mother picked up her two children and ran. translation: we were running

for our lives, the waves chasing us. it's like a bad dream. when is help going to arrive? when will the government pay attention to us? rescuers face a massive task, especially in trying to reach remote areas. foreign aid is on its way. in addition to the work that we do through our partners on the ground, the un and the red cross, we've also made some additional funding available to help with immediate need, and following a request from the indonesian government, we have deployed a team of disaster response experts. the military has put on flights to help with the evacuation of thousands desperate to flee the disaster zone. others have joined limited commercial flights out of the small, damaged airport in palu. this isn't howard griffith it

actually took we had to be escorted by the police because cars going into the city we re because cars going into the city were looted. these are the survivors of the natural disasters, still unable to get hold of crucial supplies like food and water. we we re supplies like food and water. we were struck by the generosity of people along the way. people were offering as food and water and petrol even along the way. the last 50 commenters of the coastline, we could really start to see the damage of the tsunami. there were some clashes when we drove in. but it seemed quite calm. during the day, it gets unbearably hot. it is quite

understandable that people might get a little bit irritable. when the bbc journalist wynford vaughan thomas joined the raf on an air raid over berlin in 1943, he had with him just a voice recorder to document what he witnessed. now seventy five years later, virtual reality has added new depth to his words from that night with a visual interpretation of his famous report. robert hall reports. this is the story of lancaster f freddie. a famous wartime broadcast and a blend of history and technology which can take all of us into the dangerous skies above germany. among those preparing to take off on the evening of september 3, 1943, were two civilians. bbc correspondent wynford vaughan thomas and his engineer reg pidsley, joined f freddie's crew to record their bombing mission over berlin. radio: is it ok now?

yes, cutting. this is the disk recording equipment that would have been used of bbc type c. the cutter head actually cut a groove into that disk, recording the sound. reg pidsley, the recording engineer, had to keep the blank disks inside his flying jacket to make sure they were warm enough to cut. they've left that other bomber and they're moving now slowly... i was just aware of this fantastic piece of recording that wynford vaughan thomas had done in 1943 and having worked with vr, i could see it was potentially a really, really good fit. they seem to splay out at first like the tentacles of an octopus, waiting to catch you. because the audio is an actual recording of what happened, itjust makes the cg! undeniably real. most cgi experiences is someone's imagination trying to recreate something. ok, when you are.

f freddie's bomb aimer was bill bray. he never told his granddaughter about his wartime service. we're going to take you on a virtual time machine ride back to 1943. hello, skipper. we'll turn on to 081. right, 081, navigator. 0k. wow. what did you think? i thought it was incredible, it was amazing. it's just surreal listening because we've heard the audio before so many times but to hear the audio alongside everything they would have experienced that evening was emotional and incredible. there it goes, our first sight of england, just a little light from a beacon, flashing up to us from the darkness. i've known this story all my life, of father's being in the lancaster but to be there and to see it and to experience that, and to just see how brave all those young, young men were. robert hall, bbc news.

in a moment, it's time for the one o'clock news. but first it's time for a look at the weather. hello. broadly speaking there are two types of weather across the uk today. first up, cloudy, patchy light rain and drizzle. the prime minister promises britain will have full control of its immigration policy after brexit. she says a new system will focus on the skills people bring, not where they come from. it takes back control of our borders, it ensures that free movement comes to an end once and for all and we will be deciding who comes into this country.

we'll have the latest from the conservative party conference. also this lunchtime. civil partnerships are to be extended to heterosexual couples in england and wales. it could benefit millions of people co—habiting who don't want to marry. survivors of the indonesian earthquake and tsunami are increasingly desperate for aid, including food and water. the death toll is now more than 1,300. passengers stranded as the budget airline primera air collapses,
