the prime minister says former foreign secretary borisjohnson makes her cross after he launches a scathing attack on her chequers plan for leaving the european union. addressing a fringe event at the tory party conference, the former foreign secretary called the prime minister's plan dangerous and a cheat. this is the moment to do that, and there is time. this is the moment to chuck chequers. applause and cheering audience members shout, "chuck chequers" but the prime minister dismissed his criticism — though admitted some of what he said had annoyed her. there's one thing we all know about boris is that he'll put on a good show. but what we've been doing here at conference, of course, and i think what matters to people out there, is what the government does and what we focus on in terms of their day—to—day lives. theresa may also unveiled plans for post brexit immigration rules meaning an end to the free movement of people from the eu. also tonight — survivors still pulled from the rubble in indonesia after last week's earthquake and tsunami — at least 1,300 people are now known to have died.

in this neighbourhood a sea of mud that fell down the mountain and has buried all of the houses right up to halfway. four mothers who all have disabled children go to the high court to challenge cuts to services being made by their local authority. and how 13 years after this rugby player was left paralysed — his dream of helping others to cope finally comes true. and coming up on sportsday later in the hour on bbc news: can manchester united get out of theirslump? we'll have the latest from old trafford ahead of tonight's match against valencia in the champions league. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the prime minister has told the bbc

that borisjohnson makes her cross after he launched a scathing attack on her chequers plan for leaving the european union at the conservative party conference. addressing a crowd of more than 1,000 people, the former foreign secretary said theresa may's strategy was not what people had voted for, calling it dangerous and a political humiliation. but the prime minister hit back saying her plan was the only one that guaranteed northern ireland would remain part of the uk and she dismissed borisjohnson saying he put on a good show but she was concentrating on what mattered to people's lives. from birmingham, here's our political editor laura kuenssberg — her report contains some flashing images. deep breath. was he ready? was the party ready? this conference haven't seen anything like this. is this a

leadership bid, mrjohnson? brexiteer in chief, now the prime minister's critic in chief. what is he up to, your son? honestly, i think he's doing a truly beautiful and important thing here today. boris is the one they do want to hear and they want to hear that vision directly from him. wondering how big a crowd he'd find. announcer: borisjohnson. discovering more than 1000, many who hate theresa may's so—called chequers compromise too. what the chequers compromise too. what the chequers proposals show is that the united kingdom, for all of its power and might, and a network of influences around the world, and for all of its venerable parliamentary history, was unable ultimately to ta ke history, was unable ultimately to take back control. do not believe that we can somehow get it wrong

110w. that we can somehow get it wrong now. botch it now and fix it later. get out properly... that is a total fa ntasy! applause if we bottle brexit now, believe me, the people of this country will find it hard to forgive. there is time. this is the moment to chuck chequers. cheering the stage was his, notjust on brexit, his spotlight alone. except, of course, borisjohnson is not the leader, not the prime minister. today, at least, she's competing in his shadow. did you watch boris johnson's competing in his shadow. did you watch borisjohnson‘s speech this afternoon? no, this afternoon i've been meeting activists, i've been talking to people about the conference, and i've been seeing a party that is in really good heart.

people were certainly in good heart in the borisjohnson speech. more than 1000 people cheered him for suggesting, demanding you drop your chequers compromise plan. he said it is not democracy if you continue. first of all, there is one thing we all know about boris, is that he'll put on a good show. what we have been doing at conference, and i think what matters to people out there, is what the government does and what we focus on in terms of their day—to—day lives and what matters to them. this is the man who until recently you trusted to be your foreign secretary. do you want to directly stand up to him? first of all, boris, when he was foreign secretary, signed up to the chequers plan and a few days later resigned from the cabinet. he is challenging your authority, prime minister. borisjohnson has your authority, prime minister. boris johnson has come your authority, prime minister. borisjohnson has come here today and trampled all over that. you must be cross. how can you put up with it? well, there are one or two things that boris said that i am

ci’oss things that boris said that i am cross about. he wanted to tear up oui’ cross about. he wanted to tear up our guarantee to the people of northern ireland. northern ireland is part of the united kingdom. he and i, or members here, are members of the conservative and unionist party, and that's because we believe in the union of the united kingdom and northern ireland as part of that union. we have a guarantee for the people of northern ireland and we are upholding that. our chequers plan upholds that, it's the only plan upholds that, it's the only plan on the table at the moment that does. he left almost as quickly as he arrived.. theresa may knows that borisjohnson is he arrived.. theresa may knows that boris johnson is not just he arrived.. theresa may knows that borisjohnson is notjust a loudmouth brexiteer, but her rival who will not simply be here today and gone tomorrow. and, sophie, the crux of the problem is really simple. there are plenty of people here, particularly those in government, who frankly wish borisjohnson would just go away. they think he has overplayed his hand, they think he is like that irritating child who keeps asking for something that he knows he isn't going to get. for them this is all

about his leadership ambitions, and frankly, they wish he had never set foot here in the birmingham conference centre today. the problem is, though, love him nora love him, borisjohnson is is, though, love him nora love him, boris johnson is difficult is, though, love him nora love him, borisjohnson is difficult to ignore. frankly, today his appearance on the stage was the first time this conference has really co m e first time this conference has really come to life. —— love him or loathe him. he may will not be the leader but he will drive any conservatives and members of the public round the twist. but as far as this year's conference is concerned, so far he is the star. 0ur political correspondent in birmingham, laura kuenssberg, thank you. meanwhile, theresa may has insisted that the uk will have control of immigration for the first time in decades as the post brexit plans for who can come to live and work in the uk were unveiled. she's promised to reduce the number of low workers coming to the uk — and treat eu citizens the same as those from other parts of the world. our home editor mark easton reports from bournemouth. regaining control of our borders is a fundamental aim of the government after brexit.

among those who will be made less welcome arriving here in dorset, for example, are low—skilled migrant workers. but what is a low—skilled migrant? today, government ministers suggested it might mean a minimum salary, and the official advisers to the government have said that, after brexit, a new immigration system should describe anyjob that pays less than £30,000 a year as low skilled. so that would include many care workers, health workers, farm workers, construction workers, hospitality workers, the very people who currently keep this local area functioning. but the prime minister is clear. after brexit, she wants the uk to become a low—migration economy with greater emphasis on british workers. we will be bringing an end to free movement once and for all. so we will be able to decide the basis on which people come to the uk. that hasn't been possible for many years. for people coming from the eu, that will change. the government says the new

immigration strategy will prioritise high—skilled workers with no preferential treatment for eu citizens, and a minimum salary requirement to keep out lower skilled migrants. but in leave—voting retirement haven bournemouth, what might that mean for the care sector, for example? # you are my sunshine... half the staff at this care home are immigrants. the manager, herself from slovakia, says without foreign staff the situation would be bleak. i think most of the care homes will be shut down because they take in european people who work for them here. but why can't bournemouth's care sector employ more local people? we haven't had much success to date in recruiting new workers to find interest in a career in social care. tourism and hospitality adds almost £1 billion to bournemouth's economy and employs close to 15,000 people. without staff like lillian from spain, it is warned many businesses will close.

service would be reduced considerably. it would have to come down to you carrying your own bags, you not having a restaurant in many of the hotels, and i'm afraid that the service levels would be down to almost zero. it is the same question i am asking everybody — why can't you get british people to do these jobs? i'm afraid that british people do not want to work in hospitality. the prime minister wants control of our borders, an end to free movement and a big fall in net migration, but she also wants to negotiate what's best for britain, and that's where the debate will rage. the government says it is changing the law to allow heterosexual couples to enter into civil partnerships in england and wales, as an alternative to marriage. in june, the current system was found to be in breach of european law, following a legal challenge brought by charles keidan

and his partner rebecca steinfeld. same sex couples have been allowed civil partnerships since 200a. more than 1,300 people are now known to have died in the earthquake and tsunami that struck indonesia last week as the death toll continues to rise. the united nations says around 200,000 people are in desperate need of help — with food and water in short supply and hospitals overwhelmed with the injured. and there are fears some survivors may still be trapped under the rubble. 0ur correspondentjonathan head is in palu — one of the worst hit areas on the island of sulawesi. sophie, you only have to look at what is behind me, this was the largest shopping mall in palu and the rubble tells you how hard—hit this city has been. you get a sense four days after both the earthquake and tsunami and indeed devastating mudslides as well that the authorities still haven't really

fashioned a coherent response to this disaster. what help people are getting is only small and piecemeal and we have seen increasing signs of really angry frustration growing among people as they wait for the most basic forms of assistance. this isa most basic forms of assistance. this is a very isolated place but it is remarkable how little is happening on the ground to help people. they are still pulling bodies out of new areas they are finding that have been buried. more than 30 students we re been buried. more than 30 students were taken out of a bible college earlier today. but there have been at least a few bright spots on the occasion of this very grim story. three days under the ruins of an office building but he's alive. few of the victims have been as lucky as this 38—year—old man pulled out after a three—hour rescue operation. many more are still buried in these impossible mountains of rubble. in the city centre they're trying to open some of the blocked roads. but from the air you can see what the indonesian government is up against.

this is the village of balaroa, which was literally swallowed by the liquefying ground churned up by the earthquake. and here in petobo they were hit by a mudslide. sometimes it seems this city's been hit by a whole series of catastrophes, not just the earthquake and the tsunami. but in this neighbourhood a sea of mud that fell down the mountain has buried all of the houses right up to halfway, and some of the inhabitants too. this man has come back with his youngest son to check what's left of his home. they had a narrow escape. "the mud came down right after the earthquake," he told me. three or four minutes later he and his family just ran, with only the clothes they were wearing. he and his neighbours have salvaged what they can but it

isn't much. they need everything and they're not getting it yet. so palu's inhabitants are taking matters into their own hands. here trying to break into a small supermarket. gunfire and then being driven back by police officers who afraid by police officers who seemed afraid of being overrun. one hour later, though, the police relented and the crowd poured into the shop. they did make a token effort to stop non—essential items being looted. but a government unable to help most of these earthquake victims can't really stop them helping themselves. the first real sign of order we saw, this extraordinary line for petrol. each bottle with its own queue number while its owners sit in the shade for the long hours they'll have to wait.

studio: jonathan head with that report from palu on the island of sulawesi. the time is 6:15pm. our top story this evening. the prime minister dismisses boris johnson's calls for the chequers brexit plan to be scrapped coming up, a police officer tells the westminster bridge inquests how he confronted the attacker. since the start of august, 70 deep water whales have washed up dead on scottish and irish beaches. many of the animals were cuvier‘s beaked whales, deep divers which are normally found far out in the atlantic ocean.

researchers have been trying to work out what caused their deaths. one theory is that military activity and sonar signals in the atlantic may have played a part. 0ur scotland correspondent lorna gordon reports from tiree in the innes hebrides. the islands along scotland's west coast have become a graveyard for cuvier‘s bea ked whales. in one month, more washed ashore here than in the previous ten years combined. and scientists are trying to work out why they died. it's not a natural occurrence. is it concerning, what happened? it's very concerning, very, very concerning. it is possibly the highest ever recorded mortality for this particular whale species ever, anywhere in the world. cuvier‘s bea ked whales are creatures of the deep. they can dive to depths of almost 10,000 feet. research has shown they are sensitive to sound. after a spate of strandings in the canary islands, the use of sonar close to land there was banned. since then, they have seen no bodies. those involved in the investigation

here will be scanning ear bones taken from the remains to look for trauma caused by excessive underwater sound. they're also looking at samples to rule out infectious diseases or contaminants. these whales had already been dead for several weeks by the time their bodies reached land, but the fact they washed ashore in such a short period of time points to the possibility that a single event caused their deaths hundreds of miles out into the atlantic. so could underwater noise or sonar be the cause? when groups of beaked whales strand across tens of kilometres of coastline within a few hours, that's been associated with naval allied submarine warfare exercises. it appears that the sonar that they use to hunt for submarines triggers a panic reaction that may disrupt their diving so they get decompression sickness.

they then die at sea and then they wash ashore. the british military have been asked to help in tracking down any source of noise in the ocean around the time of the animal's deaths. the problem that we have is that they can only report on what they have been doing. they're not responsible or for that matter even have the information about what has been going on by other agencies within nato. the royal navy says it takes its responsibilities in safeguarding the environment very seriously and when possible operators take avoidance action, should animals be detected before or during sonar operations. there's increasing awareness of the effect plastic has on marine life. it's possible there may soon be proof that noise pollution in our waters could be deadly too. lorna gordon, bbc news, tiree. amazon says it is to increase the wages of its lowest paid staff. it will now pay at least £9.50 an hour in the uk, with a higher rate of £10.50 in london. the online retail giant has

faced criticism over the amount of tax it pays. a man who stabbed his eight—year—old daughter to death has beenjailed for life with a minimum term of 27 years. ajudge at birmingham crown court said william billingham was driven by jealousy and anger and that he killed his daughter in order to cause pain to her mother. an unarmed police officer who tried to tackle the westminster attacker has told an inquest he had no doubt that the man "was coming to kill police." khalid masood drove his car into pedestrians on westminster bridge in march last year, before fatally stabbing pc keith palmer outside the houses of parliament. five people were killed in total. our homes affairs correspondent daniel sandford is at the old bailey. daniel. yes, these inquests are coming to an end with the coroner giving his conclusions tomorrow, but there was time for one last bit of dramatic evidence, with pc nick carlyle describing the moment when khalid masood attacked at the gates

of parliament. he said it was obvious what his intention was. he wasn't interested in members of the public. he said he was coming to kill police officers. he described how he saw khalid masood attacking his colleague, pc keith palmer, commie ran towards him to distract him, which did allow pc keith palmer to escape but he died at the scene from his injuries. khalid masood was shot dead at the scene by a bodyguard but the officers who were supposed to be at the gate 50 metres away —— were 15 metres away and pc keith palmer's lawyers are urging the coroner to criticise the metropolitan police. the lawyerfor pc palmer's widow michel said the system for protecting an armed officers at the gates to the houses officers at the gates to the houses of parliament had failed and had been failing for years. and the coroner's own barrister, jonathan hough qc, said today that it is arguable that pc keith palmer's

chances of survival may have been improved, had the officers been where they should have been. four mothers who all have disabled children have gone to the high court to challenge plans by surrey county council to cut the special needs budget by £21 million. the council is contesting claims by the women that the cuts are unlawful. it's the second such case to reach the high court within months. 0ur education editor bra nwen jeffreys reports. do you want something to eat? the least you's sun has settled into school. he has autism and adhd. each day, he gets council transport school eight —— to a specialist school. it allows his mum to get his sister to school and herself to work. i do worry about transport because if he loses his transport then i can't work because i will have to drag him to school and the impact on that would be the state would have to pick up the cost of the rent, the state would have to

pay the bills, because of me not working. today, alessio was one of four mums taking a case to the high court, challenging plans by surrey cou nty court, challenging plans by surrey county council to spend less, less on services for children with special needs or disabilities. asking the court to decide if they should have been —— if there should have been a consultation. parents from around england were in court because they are fighting similar battles. council budgets are under increasing pressure and in many areas the demand for support for children with special needs is growing faster than the funding. in court, surrey county council's lawyers argued the decision to include savings in the budget does not equate to a decision to alter services, and jonathan moffat qc added changes would not happen until added changes would not happen until a proper decision—making process has taken place. a proper decision—making process has ta ken place. experts

a proper decision—making process has taken place. experts say council budgets have faced their biggest reduction since the second world war, and the political pressure is building. when parents, particularly when they are trying to use a case to lean on government at a time when privately many conservative mps know that there is a reaction against so—called austerity, there is a risk that the government finds itself on the back foot when a number of these cases come to court. the mothers told me i will keep campaigning. many have battled for support for their children's extra needs. this is not about getting extra. it is about the support they need to achieve theirfull about the support they need to achieve their full potential. they will have to hear from the court. another similar case will be heard within weeks. 0ther another similar case will be heard within weeks. other parents have raised money to challenge the government on special needs budgets. matt hampson was 20 years old, on the verge of a glittering international rugby career,

when a scrum collapsed on him and left him paralysed below the neck. what he described as a freak accident 13 years ago changed his life forever. but since that day he has had one ambition — to build a place where young people with catastrophic sporting injuries can reshape their lives. today that dream became reality, asjoe wilson has been finding out. this is matt hampson. this is his place. his messages written on the door at. it is nothing to do with who you are, it is how you move on with your life and how you find purpose. when matt hampson played by, purpose. when matt hampson played rugby, he was exceptional, already picked for england's under 20 once, when any training session in a scrum, he broke his neck. what then? i first scrum, he broke his neck. what then? ifirst met him scrum, he broke his neck. what then? i first met him when he started coaching rugby, but he had a bigger idea. and here it is. in a windswept

field in leicestershire, the get busy centre. it is split on two levels. the ground has been used for a party today but it is when young people with serious injuries can come with their families to eat, drink, enjoy themselves. the top forest for the hard physical work. there is very specialist equipment there that is already being used. it is about tackling the two elements to recovery it is all matt hampson‘s plan. it gives me something to get up plan. it gives me something to get upfor plan. it gives me something to get up for everyday and i feel so proud of everything that we have achieved andi of everything that we have achieved and ijust of everything that we have achieved and i just love pushing of everything that we have achieved and ijust love pushing the boundaries and trying to change the world a little bit for disabled people and people with serious injuries through sport and just show them, hopefully show them the way. there were plenty of messages of support for matt hampson today. you have achieved almost be impossible. what you have done in the last however many months or years to fund raise for this building has been absolutely extraordinary. mike

tindall has been one of this project's bigger supporter. he has been through some dark days. there was dark days at christmas when we almost lost him and he wouldn't have seen this come to reality, so he has always got to fight all the time but when ever he is back all he has to do is get out there and see people. rugby has a big responsibility and other sports do were injuries are too frequent to be ignored. it took £1 million to build the centre, yea rs of £1 million to build the centre, years of fundraising, and matt hampson is busy trying to find a way to build more of them. time for a look at the weather. here's alina jenkins. it's still quite warm. it's 0ctober, but the sun is out. it is. we had 21 celsius in london today. like today, i think we will be chasing the cloud around. yesterday we had sunshine and today we had more cloud and we keep flip flopping. this was the

scene in essex earlier on today. brighter spells coming through the cloud. across parts of wales, that cloud. across parts of wales, that cloud has been really stubborn to 90, cloud has been really stubborn to go, bringing some patchy drizzle. that will continue for a time this evening. there are amounts of cloud across wales which will be gradually increasing through the night. elsewhere, clearer skies for a time and temperature getting close to freezing across the north—eastern parts of scotland. the odd touch of frost. 0utbreaks parts of scotland. the odd touch of frost. 0utbrea ks of parts of scotland. the odd touch of frost. outbreaks of rain later in the night for northern and western scotland. underneath the cloud, temperatures holding up to 12 celsius. 6—7dc under clear skies. the strong winds we saw this afternoon will slowly start to ease down. tomorrow, large amounts of cloud pushing south and eastwards. that will bring some outbreaks of rain to northern and western scotland. elsewhere, it should be mainly dry and that cloud will sleep in and break so we see some bright sunny spells. the wind will not be as strong tomorrow as it was today, particularly across scotland, where we saw gusts of 50—60 mph. 15—19dc

tomorrow, quite widely. in the sunshine, temperatures could get up to 20-21dc. sunshine, temperatures could get up to 20—21dc. there is the come and we still have the high pressure, fairly dominant across england, wales, and northern ireland. this front is arriving across northern and western scotland. we will seek more persistence of across northern and western scotland and down into northern ireland. some of that may start to affect north—west england and north wales through the afternoon. elsewhere, there could be some good spells of sunshine across central and southern england. again, temperatures in the mid to high teens. milderfor a time temperatures in the mid to high teens. milder for a time across scotland. not for long because it will turn cooler year as we head towards the end of the week and we will see some fog on friday morning and potentially wet and windy by saturday. back to you. that's all from the bbc news at six , so it's goodbye from me , and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. as the government tries to clamp

down on violent crime. many schools do an awful lot to try to solve some of the problems that exist in this city, so we welcome support from central government. i must say, however, the devil will be in the detail. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: former foreign secretary borisjohnson uses a fringe event at the conservative conference to criticise the prime
