‘do ‘ do that? ‘do that? why not talking about why do that? why not make sure we have our extension, and especially about getting rid of borisjohnson? what especially about getting rid of boris johnson? what would especially about getting rid of borisjohnson? what would happen then is aside from the brexit party, then is aside from the brexit party, the tory party might need a new leader of. there is a clear split between karas, and jeremy corbyn. he says we should not back anything until this ripple bill is supplemented, not until 19 october. whatjeremy corbyn‘s spokesperson was saying earlier today was that we don't have to wait until the end, we canjust wait don't have to wait until the end, we can just wait until it has passed and gotten royal assent, which could be as soon as friday. 50 that is where the split is, that would allow the election to take place on 15 october, whereas the other proposal it means it couldn't take place until after 31 october. what is number one thinking? what will be on the manifesto —— number ten. they say they are leaving on 31 october

do ordie, but say they are leaving on 31 october do or die, but clearly they will have to focus on the election and get a deal. exactly, they don't want to leave, that was a phrase boris johnson used today. vote for the conservatives, give me a majority andi conservatives, give me a majority and i absolutely guarantee you we will be leaving on 31 october with 01’ will be leaving on 31 october with or without a deal. give me a mandate to ta ke or without a deal. give me a mandate to take to brussels on 17 october, eu council meeting, let me try one last time to get a deal and i can get that deal through the commons before 31 october. but if i don't, won't worry, we will leave after 31 october. that will be the message. that brings me to this final question, labour or in the same predicament, what did they put on their manifesto? they have been pretty clear, at last. they will go

for a second referendum, and on that, remain will be on the ballot paper. last night it was a bit of a confused message was up he said we will go to brussels and get a deal, but the deal on the referendum, renegotiate the deal even though the eu knows they want to remain. how will that work? it is not a question of how they would want to remain, but the second referendum is the key thing. whatever the deal is you have by the time the second referendum comes around, that is what goes on the ballot paper, the choice between that deal, which could be no deal, or stay in. lots to talk about in the week ahead. nice to see you both. our reality check correspondent, chris morris, has more on what could happen next. we are counting down to this deadline of october the 31st because, as things stand, if nothing changes that is the date when we leave the eu, deal or no—deal. so we know that the rebel alliance, including 21 conservative mp5 from last night, are determined to stop that,

and that is what is happening today. the bill currently being debated would force the prime minister to ask eu for a three—month brexit extension untiljanuary 31 next year. will it pass or will it fail? if it fails, which is looking pretty unlikely, the government then keeps control of the brexit process and the prime minister will seek to leave at the end of october, deal or no—deal. the opposition could call a vote of no confidence. if they did, and they won, that could lead to an election, but brexit time would be really tight. now, if today's vote passes, the question is whether the government will accept it or reject. if the government accepts it, borisjohnson would have to do what he has promised not to do — request another delay to brexit. so if the european council — that's the other 27 leaders — agree, brexit will be delayed until the end of january or possibly even later. if the eu offered a later date, today's bill would force the prime minister to accept it unless it is specifically rejected within two days by mps. if the eu, of course, refuses to offer any extension,

well, then the default position still stands — brexit at the end of october, deal or no—deal. and what if the government says it simply can't accept pa rliament‘s instruction? well, the prime minister has said they will seek to hold a general election. that would require the support of two thirds of mps in the house of commons and, if it happens, it is expected to be held on or around october 15. if mps reject that snap election though, the government has said it will follow the law. but if it doesn't, if it tried to wriggle out of legislation blocking a no—deal brexit, there would almost certainly be legal challenges. parliament, of course, don't forget, is due to be suspended from next week for five weeks so, again, time is short. will talks in brussels continue, looking for a compromised brexit deal? maybe. or does that election become inevitable? in summary, i think if this opposition alliance thinks that they can nail this legislation down — that no—deal, for now at least, is comprehensively ruled out — it feels like all roads

are leading to that election, whether slightly before the october 31 deadline orjust, perhaps, slightly after. that is the big question. remember borisjohnson no that is the big question. remember boris johnson no longer that is the big question. remember borisjohnson no longer has a working majority in the house, so it is not within his gift to demand that election. tonight he will bring a motion later in the evening and there will be a vote under the terms of the fixed term parliament act. let me to show you the picture in the house of commons where they have passed the second reading of this legislation which would take no deal off the table. they are now into the committee stage, various amendments will be put forward to the bill through the course of the evening and there will be a vote on each of them. i will bring you as many of those as we can through the course of the evening. and then we will get to the third reading. but it looks as if the so—called rebel alliance have the numbers in the first boat this evening, they won by a majority

of 29 dashed first vote. an awful lot going on in another pivotal evening here in westminster. to stay with us for our continuing coverage. you are watching the bbc special. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. it was a cool day for us where we had some strong winds, cost of around 40—50 mph around the coast, whipping out these large waves in the irish sea, bringing sea foam. you can see the extent of the rain that we've had over recent hours on the radar picture here. notice we've had different weather towards the southern parts where it has been a dry afternoon with plenty of sunshine around in dorset. it was a breezy day but not as strong as they we re breezy day but not as strong as they were northwest. overnight tonight there will be a number of towers continuing for a time, but ultimately as the ridge of high pressure builds in, we will start to see those showers die away and it

will turn out to be a quite a cold night for the time of year across eastern scotland and into north east england, with temperatures getting down to the low single figures and the cold spots of the countryside. there is a's weather picture, we have a strap of rain coming in and ultimately spreading across northern england. the rain is a warm front, so england. the rain is a warm front, so expect a lot of clout into the afternoon as the front passes through, the wind start to turn more toa through, the wind start to turn more to a direction, in mild direction, in these temperatures will recover. highs of 18 celsius in belfast, feeling warmer here. it should be another fine day with spells of sunshine, temperatures generally in the high teens to about 20 celsius. we end the week like this with another area of low pressure coming m, another area of low pressure coming in, bringing cold era southwards. as the front cleared through, the winds turned to a northwesterly direction, bringing showers as well as a change

you're watching a bbc news special — i'm christian fraser live at westminster. the british prime minister is under attack from all angles. mps have again voted to block a no—deal brexit — the ayes to 329, the nos 300. mps have again voted to block a no—deal brexit — widening the margin of defeat — here's what the prime minister says it will mean. what he is recommending is yet more... yet more dither, yet more dither yet more delay, yet more uncertainty for business. what we in this government want to do is to deliver on the mandate of the people. he has no plan to get a new deal. no plan, no authority and no majority. but there's still some way to go, with the house of lords
