comes to labour splits for you to vote to abolish the deputy leader of the labour pa rty‘s vote to abolish the deputy leader of the labour party's post on the eve of the conference? is that a good idea? what you will find is they voted to have a discussion. it is not an unreasonable thing to discuss the structures of the party when we in a moment, mishal hussein are all together at the nec on the will be here with the latest headlines, but first, eve of conference. nobody was voting a look at what's been happening at the labour to abolish tom watson. we were conference in brighton. once again, policy has been voting to have a discussion. to overshadowed by talk of division within the party. abolish tom watson? a discussion about the structure of the party in speaking to the shadow home the next dayjeremy had the proposal secretary diane abbott earlier, our political correspondent, and we voted for it. do you think iain watson, asked her about the decision of that somebody who worked in the labour's national executive to back media, it was likely to dominate the jeremy corbyn‘s brexit plan, not to endorse either headlines if you voted to debate the leave or remain in any deputy leader's roll on the eve of general election campaign. the party conference amid criticisms of that deputy leader? the truth is, iam i am remainder iam remainderand i am remainder and i iam remainder and i represent a if the nec had agreed on weetabix solidly remain constituency and we for breakfast or bacon and eggs, journalists would frame this as a do need to arrive at a position that split story. the parliamentary everybody can unite behind. and i

labour party framed this as a split, think the statement that is coming they said this was counter—productive on the wrong thing to do on the eve of an forward will do that. you have to bearin forward will do that. you have to bear in mind the lib dems are not election and even the chair of the p0 election and even the chair of the offering a choice, they willjust pop election and even the chair of the p0 p talked about the potential for revoke it, and the tories willjust internal civil war. that is not a go over a cliff with no deal. we are journalist! i did not vote to the only party offering the people i abolish tom watson, i voted to have abolish tom watson, i voted to have say. and that the whole labour party a debate and we did the next day and jeremy came and we had a wider can unite. you offer people a say but some members of the shadow debate and almost every member of the nac has united behind that. to cabinet, emily thornberry, say that during the campaign labour should be leading the to remain and we have have a second deputy leader? we are having a review and that might well one ofjeremy corbyn‘s biggest end up in a second deputy leader but i would not want to pre—empt the supporters, len mccluskey, saying that anybody in the shadow cabinet results. who does not stick to the line, in other words neither relieve nor remain for a general election, they should stand aside? len mccluskey is entitled to say what he says but my view is thatjeremy is arriving at a position which has a people's vote at the heart of it and i believe

everybody can unite behind that. do you think members of the shadow cabinet should stand aside if during the course of the election campaign they say they would back down to? what members of the shadow cabinet do as what members of the shadow cabinet doasa what members of the shadow cabinet do as a matter for the leader. you think the leader might be able to remove members of they don't toe the line? what members of the shadow 00:02:24,372 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 cabinet day will result from the

labour divisions on brexit — jeremy corbyn comes under pressure to commit to backing remain in any future public vote. he says a labour government would get a new brexit deal and hold a referendum. other senior figures have already said they'll campaign to stay in the eu. we will put both views and say, "look, this is the best deal we could get, this is the remain and hopefully reform option. these are the choices before you." as the labour conference takes place, mr corbyn‘s also facing the resignation of a senior aide. also tonight... crisis talks continue at thomas cook amid fears it could collapse within hours. how china is embracing renewable energy but also relying on coal. a special report on the eve

of climate talks at the un. world leaders are gathering here in new york city, but will they be upstaged by the 16—year—old activist greta thunberg ? and at the rugby world cup, scotland are defeated 27—3 by a ruthless ireland. england win their opening match against tonga. good evening. jeremy corbyn has come under pressure at the labour party conference in brighton to commit to which side he would back in any future eu referendum. with some seniorfigures in the party saying they will campaign to remain,

he's told the bbc that a labour government would get a new brexit deal and give people a choice between leaving on those terms and remaining in the eu. a vote on the party's brexit position is expected at the conference tomorrow. our political editor laura kuenssberg's report from brighton contains flash photography. he could be walking in a month or two into number ten. but at his own conference, with his own party, jeremy corbyn has been wading into what looks like chaos. grappling to maintain his position on brexit — that labour would only say if they back leave or remain after the next election, if they win and do their own brexit deal with the eu. we will put both views and say, "look, this is the best deal we could get, this is the remain and hopefully reform option. these are the choices before you." there is frustration at that, though, in chunks of the party,

which is instinctively remain, and disbelief that mr corbyn‘s backers tried to oust deputy leader tom watson. it wasn't a move against him specifically. what it was, was concerns about the role of deputy leader and i was not aware that the particular motion was going to be moved at that time, but i knew there were people discussing options. but i don't think we should make rule changes on a whim. the unhappiness goes beyond mr corbyn‘s familiar foes. why do you feel the party can't win an election, mr fisher? his senior adviser, andrew fisher, is quitting, exasperated with progress, or lack of. what's the dividing issue? there's long been animosity in the party between many mps and jeremy corbyn, but the anger over the leader's reluctance to back remain now is far and wide. i need to show my honestly held view, and that's we should support for remain.

it's made for some an unlikely hero of the man backing remain already, who was nearly ousted in the last few days. i am a remainer, and i am going to remain campaigning for remain. and i know everyone in this room is going to do the same. and he's not the only frontbencher openly disagreeing with the official plan. oh, no, he's back! yes, the message is back again and again. we must have a labour party out saying this week that we say no to brexit, and we lead the campaign to remain. but hold on... in other meetings in other packed rooms, jeremy corbyn‘s approach still appeals. with most labour constituencies having voted for brexit, there is a logic trying to keep both sides together. we have to listen to those voters,

and if they think the labour party is betraying what they said, that will cause a huge electoral backlash, which is why the responsible thing, i believe, is to listen to those voters, listen to the remain voters, get the best deal we can get from the european union and let the people decide. jeremy, we support you! but these weeks at the seaside are a chance for political parties to show why they deserve to be in power. don't hassle me, i'm working hard! and for every moment labour fights among itself, the chance to make its case slips away. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, brighton. the conference has also been discussing new policy proposals and voting on motions that could be included in a future manifesto. this afternoon delegates approved integrating private schools into the state sector, withdrawing their charitable status and redistributing their funds and properties. meanwhile, labour says if elected it will abolish nhs prescription charges in england — bringing it in line with the rest of the uk.

our health editor, hugh pym, is here. how much would this proposal cost? prescription charges in england currently raise £575 million per year so scrapping them means finding the money somewhere else and labour have not yet said how they will do that but they have said they will set out tax—raising plans in due course. over the last decade or so wales, scotland and northern ireland have already abolished these charges. in england, 85% of prescription items are free anyway. that's because of the exemption system covering the over 60s, those on benefits and some on those long term conditions, but not all. there have been calls anyway for a review of the system. labour says it's all about health inequalities, there are some who can't afford the £9 charge, they put off treatment and that's bad in the long run for them. but labour will have to explain why at a time of increasing demands for resources of all areas of health and

social care, this investment of half a billion a year would be the right priority. hugh pym, thank you. hugh pym, let's go back to brighton and our political let's go back to brighton and our political editor, laura kuenssberg. this particular conference takes place when an election could be imminent. how is that effecting the conversations? it's pretty stormy down here, not just conversations? it's pretty stormy down here, notjust because of the weather. it's partly because, as you suggest, within a couple of months labour could be fighting to get the keys to number ten, so therefore every conversation is supercharged. this isn't just every conversation is supercharged. this isn'tjust a party that has time to talk amongst itself. it has a party that in a few weeks could be going to the country. that's why whether or not it is abolishing prescription charges or moving to abolish private schools, the party really has an opportunity to make its case to the country. but that's so difficult when, from top to bottom, there is this open dispute about the issue of our time, about

brexit. the party leadership has a painfully constructed position. they wa nt to painfully constructed position. they want to delay making a call between leave or remain until after the election. essentially they want to park that decision and at some point in the future go again to asking the public what they make of it. but thatis public what they make of it. but that is really a difficult cocktail when so many people here in brighton and so many of the party mps want to push the leadership now to make a full throated case to staying in the european union. this is a really, really significant clash, and it matters so much because until that is resolved, it's difficult for the labour party to move on, to be able to make the argument is that they believe could find popularity among the wider public, and i'm not sure this week in brighton they will be able to find resolution. tomorrow on the conference floor could be just as stormy. laura kuenssberg, thank you. the mayor of london, sadiq khan, has called for an investigation into whether boris johnson failed

to declare a potential conflict of interest while he was at city hall. it follows an investigation in the sunday times newspaper which alleges an american businesswoman whom mrjohnson knew received thousands of pounds of public money in financial grants. number 10 has declined to comment. the uk's oldest travel firm, thomas cook, is continuing emergency talks with creditors and shareholders tonight, hoping to raise the £200 million it needs to avoid collapse. ministers say plans to fly holidaymakers back to the uk, if necessary, are in place, but have dampened hopes of a government rescue bid. our transport correspondent, tom burridge, reports. people have been starting holidays today in places like majorca, while their travel agent, britain's oldest, battles to stay afloat. time is running out for thomas cook. unless a rescue deal is done by tonight, the firm will fold. we've just flown in from bristol. we're rather concerned, obviously, with regards to what's going to happen, whether we'll be able

to fly home or not. i really couldn't care less. if i get stuck here, i get stuck here, don't i? they can't get in either. last night, tourists on holiday with thomas cook were temporarily not allowed to leave their hotel in tunisia. the coach is there, you can see it's trying to get in to collect people to go to the airport, to leave to go home. and management aren't allowing it. hotel management apparently worried that they might not get the money owed to them by the company. and then there's people like andrew and sharon, uncertain if their dream vegas wedding, booked with thomas cook, will happen. your heart sinks. you think you've planned everything to the minute detail and then all of a sudden everything could come apart at the last moment. there's just a feeling of limbo at the moment and we're not really sure. thomas cook said a meeting of investors to try and find an additional £200 million was a last throw of the dice. the firm needs the money so it can pay its debts and keep operating over the coming months. in the uk, 9000 jobs are at risk.

150,000 brits are currently on thomas cook holidays abroad. the government says if the company collapses people will be brought home. so, three people, two weeks in greece, latejuly, let's see. once king of the package holiday, thomas cook has been struggling for some time. don'tjust book it, thomas cook it. running a huge travel firm with several airlines has been made all the harder by fluctuating oil prices and a weaker pound, pushing costs up. the package holiday‘s prominence in the travel market has fallen. just think of the fierce competition from budget airlines and the vast array of options when you book a holiday today. people on or booked on a thomas cook package holiday are protected under the atol scheme. if you booked just a flight it would be travel insurance or a claim to your credit or debit card company. scenes of near normality in places like palma today but real uncertainty about tomorrow.

tom joins me now. what's the latest you're hearing tonight? iam i am told tonight that dozens of aircraft which were on standby have now been mobilised. that means basically they are in the air and travelling to destinations where there are thomas cook tourists that might, and might is the important word, might need bringing home tomorrow. it is still a big if, but if thomas cook goes into administration and operation matterhorn will kick in. when monica collapsed in 2017 it was the biggest repatriation of british nationals in peace time. i am told this is much bigger, and operation that could last two weeks. one source said the civil aviation authority in charge of the plan is very prepared for the eventuality and the government says british tourists will be brought home. but a deal is still possible and negotiations continued through the day. but a well—placed source tonight said indications are not positive. we will know whether or not thomas cook has gone into

administration by 2am, because that is when most or all of its aircraft are on the ground, making it slightly less complex, but by the morning, thomas cook's fete could be sealed. tom burridge, thank you. three teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 15—year—old boy was stabbed to death at a skatepark in berkshire. the attack happened at salt hill park in slough. police believe there had been an argument beforehand. they are appealing for witnesses. there are reports that the british—flagged tanker seized by iran injuly could be released soon. iranian forces took control of the stena impero as it was navigating through the strait of hormuz, at the entrance of the gulf. it's been held near iran's southern port of bandar abbas. china is expected to face further pressure to reduce its carbon emissions when global leaders meet at the un tomorrow for a special summit on climate change. renewable energy sources have increased in china, but coal is still the largest source of electricity generation.

with the un pushing for a commitment to end the use of coal by 2030, our correspondentjohn sudworth asks whether china can deliver. on average, china has built a solar farm as big as this one every day for the past three years. a rush to renewables personified by this man. he used to work in a coal mine. translation: our solar plant can save 50 or 60,000 tonnes of coal each year. i'm proud doing thisjob and working in this industry. but there is a long way to go. with its massive coal reserves still used for 60% of its energy, china produces more than a quarter of the world's carbon emissions. and it may bear more than its fair share of the consequences too. asia's high mountain glaciers, a vital source

of waterfor millions, are under serious threat. they are retreating very fast, about one metre per year by thickness. as large as 50 metres per year by mass. 50 metres per year? yeah. glaciers are retreating? retreating, the largest. so that's why some glaciers in the south east plateau will disappear very soon. the country's communist rulers do have what might be called an authoritarian advantage. huge powers to support and promote new technologies. china is now producing and installing these panels in such volume that the economies of scale mean something extraordinary and very important is happening. the industry is reaching what it calls grid parity — the point at which getting electricity from these things is now cheaper per unit than generating it from coal.

but china's authoritarian system also protects vested interests. there are troubling signs that it's recently resumed building work on new coal power stations. to tell whether china is a real climate leader or not, this is really the moment. china, on one hand, is indeed now the largest investor of some of the most advanced green energy technologies in the world, but on the other hand, china also has this darker side. china's stance at the new york conference will be watched closely. despite big, positive steps, its coal habit will be a hard one to break. john sudworth, bbc news, beijing. well, ahead of tomorrow's un climate talks a new report is calling for efforts to cut carbon to be intensified. it says global temperatures between 2015 and 2019 make it the hottest five—year

period on record. it estimates temperatures to be 1.1 celsius above those of pre—industrial times. live now to the un and our north america correspondent, nick bryant. what is the expectation on how leaders will respond to the latest data? un officials are certainly hoping this worrying new report will serve as yet another wake—up call, but in all honesty, un officials are also talking up the greta thunberg effect, the sight of those 4 million people marching on friday all around the world, most of them children, led by 16—year—old activist greta thunberg. she will be addressing the climate action summit tomorrow. the un hoping to harness her global and galvanising power and hoping she will shame international leaders into action. perhaps more significant is the no shows at the

summit, donald trump will not be there. the leader who likes to be called the trump of the tropics, president bolsonaro of brazil will not be there. brazil particularly significant because it is the home of the amazon, the lungs of the world. there is concern at the united nations that this resurgence in nationalism we have seen in recent yea rs in nationalism we have seen in recent years is a major impediment to getting global action on a global climate crisis. nick bryant in new york, thank you. now, rugby world cup news, and the rest of the sport, with olly foster at the bbc sport centre. good evening. we saw three of the home nations in action today. a big win for england against tonga coming up in a moment but ireland and scotland were facing each other. the irish are the number one side in the world and the scots were very much second best. our sports correspondent katie gornall was at the match in yokohama. a sleepy sunday morning in yokohama — peaceful, tranquil and with no hint of what's to come. come on, scotland!

in swept a celtic fusion of noise and colour. ireland and scotland had arrived — one not to miss. i'm supposed to be at work. according to the rankings, this ireland side are the world's best, but their form has been shaky and scotland had reason to hope. any doubts about ireland's strengths were put to rest within minutes as james ryan burrowed his way to the line with their first attack. before scotland could regroup, ireland hit them again. somewhere in the mass of bodies, ireland's captain rory best grounded the ball. the slightest gap was being exploited with ruthless efficiency. scotland had a mount fuji—sized challenge in front of them. worse was to come when their best forward hamish watson left injured, and ireland punished them with more than brute force as andrew conway skipped through to put the game out of reach. 27—3 it finished. ireland, it turned out, had nothing to worry about, on a sobering night for scotland. despite their ranking, ireland's form coming into this world cup had been a bit like the japanese weather, unpredictable, but they absolutely

dominated a very disappointing scotland side here tonight. scotland now have eight days to regroup until they play their next game against samoa in kobe, and on this evidence they have plenty of work to do. katie gornall, bbc news, in yokohama. at the spectacular sapporo dome, england fans were hoping for a suitably impressive start. but in tonga, their team faced one of the more physical challenges in rugby, as they quickly discovered. after that bruising beginning though came the breakthrough, as manu tuilagi did a little bulldozing of his own to put england ahead. and what followed was the highlight of the night, a second for tuilagi as they showed briefly why they are one of the world cup favourites. but after the break, the errors mounted up. passes dropped, chances missed, before eventually jamie george rumbled over to extend their advantage. the fourth try and a valuable bonus point didn't come till the very end, courtesy of luke cowan—dickie. job done, but with the usa

next up on thursday, room for improvement. the world cup is not a 100 metre sprint. you don't have to come out of the blocks and be absolutely fantastic now. what you have to be, steady, you have to improve and have the mindset of improvement. an ultimately convincing victory, then, for england, if not always a convincing performance. but their world cup is off to a winning start. andy swiss, bbc news, sapporo. all today's premier league goals are coming up on match of the day 2 after the news, but if you want to know the results, here they come. liverpool have maintained their perfect start to the season. a 2—1victory at chelsea sees them move five points clear of manchester city at the top of the table. manchester united lost at west ham, arsenal beat villa. crystal palace and wolves drew. the scottish premiership leaders celtic haven't dropped any points either. odsonne edouard scored twice as they came from behind to beat kilmarnock 3—1.

second placed rangers beat stjohnstone. hearts won the edinburgh derby 2—1 against hibs. sebastien vettel has won his first race in formula one for over a year. the four—time champion finished ahead of his ferrari team—mate charles leclerc at the singapore grand prix. lewis hamilton was fourth but still stretched his championship lead to 65 points. and danny willett has won golf‘s pga championship at wentworth. details of that on the bbc sport website, and also the build—up to wales' rugby world cup match against georgia tomorrow morning. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. goodbye. it has been a pretty dry september, but things started to change on

sunday, wet and unsettled will be the theme, this was the picture in devon taken by one of our weather watchers. it's cost city hall £1 million, which some critics say could have been put to better use. caroline davies reports. no horns, no traffic jams, no traffic at all. and over the next few days we keep that fairly wet and windy picture, with a series of weather fronts moving in from the atlantic. low pressure anchored out to the west of the uk. through the south—west, hence of another frontal system arriving, tied in with hurricane humber hotel, which is moving across the atlantic, bringing a spell of wet and windy weather. a lot of dry weather on the cards, the next batch of removing it across northern ireland, wales and

for the eastern half of northern england,
