eastern areas and most of the showers further west, some heavy. a windy day for most of us that we could see 20 degrees. friday, it looks unsubtle and some low pressure and further sunshine turning a bit cooler across the north of the country. this parliament is a dead parliament. it should no longer sit. it has no moral right to sit on these green benches. a party like this, and a leader like this, this prime minister, to talk about morals and morality is a disgrace! we'll bring you the latest from the house of commons and look at what's likely to happen next. also tonight: one of the uk's main busmakers goes into administration —

over a thousand workers are laid off. a warning from the un — extreme flooding could be happening every year by 2050. president trump releases details of confidential conversations amid moves to have him impeached. and archie meets the archbishop — the first good look at the royal baby on harry and meghan‘s tour of africa. and in sport on bbc news, there's a a surprise result at the rugby world cup injapan as uruguay beat fiji in their opening match. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. borisjohnson has flown back

overnight from new york to address mps. they are back at westminster after the suspension of parliament was ruled unlawful by the supreme court yesterday. in angry exchanges in the commons, the attorney general called opposition parties "cowards" for not agreeing to an early election and branded parliament a disgrace. he was, in turn, accused of knowing no shame. the prime minister is due to appear in the commons any time now. 0ur political editor laura kuenssberg reports. to lead often is to be alone. it was borisjohnson on the tarmac clutching his red box of government business. borisjohnson‘s clutching his red box of government business. boris johnson's decision to suspend parliament that was against the law. and borisjohnson speeding back from new york to face mps' speeding back from new york to face mps‘ wrath. parliament returned

today to its former business. mps' wrath. parliament returned today to its former business. hats off strangers! back to the familiar ritual, the familiar frenzy. welcome back to our place of work. the government's top lawyer trying to defend their humiliation in court. government's top lawyer trying to defend their humiliation in courtli took a close interest in the case. laughter the government accepts the judgment and accepts that it lost the case. and at all times, the government acted in good faith. but then he turned full bellow on the opposition for swerving an election right now. this parliament is a dead parliament. it should no longer sit. it has no moral right to sit on these green benches. they could vote no confidence at any time. but they're too cowardly. this parliament is a disgrace. provoking

pure fury, tempers lost long ago. to come here with his barrister's bluster, to obfuscate the truth, and for a bluster, to obfuscate the truth, and fora man like bluster, to obfuscate the truth, and for a man like him, bluster, to obfuscate the truth, and fora man like him, a party like this and a leader like this, this prime minister, to talk about morals and morality is a disgrace! this remain parliament that has talked about brexit for over three and a half years will now get several more weeks to do what they possibly can to talk about brexit but to make absolutely certain that 17.4 million people never get what they voted for. a few voices urging cooperation, but they were in short supply. can i urge the attorney general to work with colleagues to try and find that compromise and to cease this language of pitting parliament against the people? 0pposition mps on all sides, though, are working out what to do next. this is one of the most exciting

times possible in parliament. an election won't be the answer, not until labour is sure that they have ruled out leaving the eu with out a deal. at that point it would be appropriate to move a motion of no confidence in order to force the government to resign and have a general election. at that moment be sooner general election. at that moment be sooner than later? although some brexiteers are desperate to leave, the lib dems might try to ensure a dilated brexit is agreed as soon as possible. the liberal democrats will be working with and talking with people across the different parties to find a way to remove that threat ofa to find a way to remove that threat of a no—deal brexit more quickly. thank you very much, we need to go and get into parliament. thank you. did you get it wrong, mr cummings? but for now, it is time for the prime minister, flanked by his adviser dominic cummings, to face

his foes. however much the pair may enjoy provocation, this is a dangerous road. and laura joins me now. laura, we saw the prime minister arriving there, he will be talking soon, what can we expect? he will be on his feet in about 25 minutes or so, and! on his feet in about 25 minutes or so, and i think he will face a torrent of vitriol, very serious questions about his own response to the dramatic judgment from the supreme court yesterday. in public so far, boris johnson supreme court yesterday. in public so far, borisjohnson has said that he strongly disagrees with the verdict, but of course will respect it. but i think he will really be under the cosh on the strategy that he has chosen to take. but will he change it? will he shift? will he budge? everything we have seen from this prime minister so far has suggested that he believes that attack is the best form of defence, andi attack is the best form of defence, and i expect that as we saw vary dramatically from the attorney general earlier, he will again try to turn this on the opposition parties and say, if you don't like

it, then have the guts to go to the country in an election. but equally on the other side, the opposition parties just are not going to budge on their demand to make it as watertight as they possibly can that we do not leave the european union without a deal before they agree to give everybody around the country a choice at the ballot box in that election. this may be a parliament that cannot agree on anything, but while this happens, it's a government that can't govern properly either. law at westminster, thank you. well, yesterday's ruling by the supreme court has prompted thousands of questions from you across bbc news. 0ur deputy political editor john pienaar has had a go at answering some of them. what happens next? well, borisjohnson was already in a tight political corner, and he still is. just look at his relentless pressure to force an early election. the mood has been transformed. the ferocity of the argument off the scale. and now the government's opponents

are back in the commons, they can close in, try to pass legislation to tighten up the law they've already passed to close off the option of leaving with no deal on october the 31st. and force borisjohnson to either land a deal or do the last thing that he wants, to seek another brexit extension. will brexit happen? good question. wish i knew. 0ut here, against brexit, for brexit, they would love to know the answer. a lot depends on the brexit negotiations in brussels, where the uk side and the eu side are still some way apart, and the eu summit on october the 17th his rushing up fast. no deal by october the 19th, and boris johnson by law will have to extend brexit, or try to. unless, that is, the eu or any of its members decide they've had enough, in which case britain is shown the door. in the end, after three years, if parliament can't decide all this,

it may be up to you. will there be a general election? now, that's an easy one, and the answer's yes. all sides want an election. the argument is about when. 0pposition mps say no election until a no—deal brexit is off the table. they say they're worried about the disruption a no—deal brexit would cause. but they know, and so does the prime minister, that a delay would cost the tories lots of brexit supporters' votes. borisjohnson‘s election challenges, his taunts of cowardice are not working. he's under pressure, and when he says he wants a deal, he means it. this won't be a one—issue election, but it'll seem like it, and it's coming soon. john pienaar there, answering some of your questions. well, with so much uncertainty about brexit, what do voters make of today's developments? in portsmouth, 58% of people voted to leave the european union, while almost 42% voted to remain.

our special correspondent lucy manning has spent the day there. # i will remain # comfort and in this i will see # the goodness of the lord # i will remain...# this was just a coincidence. the university gospel choir is not singing about brexit. the prime minister not liking what he heard from the supreme court. i personally believe that he's acting quite outrageously, and it's not in thought of the country, but himself. all labour supporters. in the middle, rachel backs leave, precious and blessing remain. in order for brexit to happen, he needs the help of the other mp5. it's not something that he can do by himself. so i do think that he probably had the right idea, butjust went about it the wrong way, i think. do you think there should be a general election? not yet. i think let's sort out brexit, let's get that sorted, and then afterwards, let's do an election. portsmouth is one of the busiest ferry ports, and there are concerns about the impact of a no—deal brexit.

70% of the uk's bananas come through here. defeat in the courts after repeated defeats in parliament might not look like the best way to win an election in this marginal labour seat, but the prime minister will be hoping his strategy of appearing to back voters against parliament will pay off. at fratton community centre, conservative leave voter michael supports him. who do you think‘s right, the courts or the prime minister? well, i think the prime minister, because he leads the country. he'll be the only one who can get us out. what should mps be doing now they're back today? well, i heard an mp say this morning he hasn't got a clue what he's going to do. leavers likejoyce feeling a little stitched up by mps and the court. she did vote conservative. i think he's doing his best. i don't know that he's going to get a result. i shall be voting brexit, the brexit party. you don't think boris johnson's doing enough? i don't think anybody will let him.

i don't think the other parties in parliament will actually allow him to. hazel was a lib dem voter. lawyers get involved in parliament. are we then going to find that everybody goes to the legal system and says, i don't agree with that? would you support the prime minister at an election if he did manage to get the country out? if he got us out, yes, then i would back him. a warning here for all mps, though. voters told us they want them to use the extra days in parliament to talk about issues that don't involve brexit. lucy manning, bbc news. well, as well as dealing with the fallout from yesterday's supreme court ruling, the prime minister is also under growing pressure about his relationship with an american businesswoman. jennifer arcuri was recently awarded over £100,000 in government grants, and during borisjohnson‘s time as london mayor she was invited on several overseas trips. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford is here. tell us what this is all about.

well, on their very first day of the newly reopened parliament, boris johnson's a new digital minister matt wolman found himself answering awkward questions about his boss's relationship with this american tech entrepreneur, jennifer arcuri. the minister defended the £100,000 grant that had been given to one of miss arcuri's tech companies, hacker house, and borisjohnson is saying that he had nothing to do with the award, and no involvement. he was a backbencher at the time the grant was made, but there is an internal review going on inside the department to work out whether the award was appropriately made. the minister said that this was a british company with a british telephone number, though when i telephoned what appeared to be a london telephone number today, it was actually answered by a woman who was actually answered by a woman who was clearly in california, so that telephone number doesn't really tell you very much about where the business is based. and borisjohnson is perhaps also facing more

difficult questions about his time as london mayor, and the apparently preferential treatment given to jennifer arcuri, in particular going on three trade missions with boris johnson overseas, though she has insisted in a statement that she was on those trips purely in her role as a legitimate business woman. i don't think this is an issue that is going to go away, fiona. daniel, thank you. the time isjust coming up to a quarter past six. 0ur top story this evening: back to work for mps, after the supreme court ruling found the parliament suspension was unlawful. the prime minister has flown back to face mps questions. and, still to come, baby archie makes his first public appearance — on the royal tour of southern africa. and in the sport later on bbc news we'll look ahead to england's next match at the rugby world cup. they play the usa tomorrow morning and they've made plenty of changes.

scientists have delivered another stark assessment of the global impact of climate change — warning that the world's seas and frozen areas are being threatened like never before. they say if nothing is done to limit carbon emissions, sea levels could rise by more than a metre, on average, by the end of the century. that could mean that some island states are likely to beome uninhabitable. and extreme flooding events — even in some of the world's biggest cities — could happen every year by the middle of this century. in the uk, hull has been badly affected by flooding over recent years. 0ur science editor, david shukman, has been finding out what's being done to try to help. the sea is rising, so stronger defences are needed. here in hull, a new wall is being built to protect thousands of people. most of the city lies below the level of the high tide, so flooding is a constant risk. this is what we're up against currently. we can't stop at.

on a winter night six years ago, sea water overwhelmed parts of hull, filling homes with mud. gordon rasen watched it happen. the water came over there into the dock, out of the dock straight into the streets, because there was no... because the dock was already full of water. what was it like when that happened? frightening, really. we know that sea level will rise... and if in future the ocean is a metre higher, the impact could be even worse. scientists are using simulations to see how bad the flooding could get. it won't be possible to defend everywhere, quite simply. there will be areas that will have to retreat from with that level of sea—level rise. economically, itjust won't make sense to do so. we can win individual battles, but the overall war, we'll lose. just a few miles from hull, these homes have very little to protect them from a rising sea, which matters, because the report says that, whatever efforts are made to tackle climate change, the level of the oceans

is going to keep rising in the coming decades. which means that people here and in many parts of the world are going to have to adapt. the biggest cause of rising sea levels as the melting of the ice in the polar regions. earlier this month, i saw how this year had a record melt in greenland. and the report warns that along with higher sea levels, there will be more powerful storms. extreme floods will strike more often, with drastic consequences. are we talking about relocation? retreat in some instances? and certainly the report doesn't shy from the big issues. because these patterns of impacts are so complex, the report does identify that, for example, some small island states may become uninhabitable. back in hull, scientists are out in all weathers to track the currents underwater, to help forecast the next floods, to gather data about the areas that

are most vulnerable. the sea once helped this place to flourish. but as the waters rise, all over the world, they'll become more of a threat. david shukman, bbc news, in hull. one of the uk's main bus makers — wrightbus — has gone into administration. the company, which is one of northern ireland's largest employers, is best known for manufacturing london's routemaster double—deckers. 1,200 workers have been made redundant. emma vardy is at the firm's headquarters in ballymena in county antrim. this is a massive blow to the workforce and the northern ireland economy. absolutely. this is one of northern ireland's flagship companies. and it isafamily ireland's flagship companies. and it is a family firm that has been providing livelihoods in this area for several generations. so, there was a real despondency here at the factory earlier today, as workers arrived to be told that as no new buyer had been found for the firm,

they were to lose theirjobs. just to warn you, this report contains some flash photography. downed tools and an exodus of workers followed this morning's announcement. many leaving behind lifelong employment, their services no longer required. they were telling us everything is 0k, everything's going to be fine. thejobs are safe. and then just bring us in to tell us there's nothing more they can do. that's it, the company's closed, ceased trading. what will you do now? i honestly don't know. i've worked with wright's for 30 years now. i'm ashamed to be part of it. who's going to employ a 62—year—old man? i have nothing now. that's it. in 2012, the company was enjoying success, launching a double—decker fleet for london that became known as the boris buses. but since then, demand for new vehicles has fallen. changes from diesel to electric buses, blamed for the downturn.

today, the unions appealed to borisjohnson to rescue the company he once championed. the british prime minister, who said in the last few weeks that he would do anything in his power to save a company like wrightbus, and we are putting it to him again, do everything in your power invest into wrightbus and keep it open. there's still hope a new buyer can be found. as one of northern ireland's biggest employers, is estimated there will be hundreds of other supply chain jobs affected, on top of the 1200 redundancies if the wheels of wrightbus stop turning for good. emma vardy, bbc news, ballymena. a mother of three has been killed in a dog attack in widnes. neighbours say 44—year—old elayne stanley was attacked by two dogs at a house yesterday evening. cheshire police say one of the dogs had to be destroyed while the other had been captured and taken to a secure kennel. no arrests have been made.

transport secretary grant shapps has said the government macular look of bonuses paid to thomas cook executives can be recovered through insolvency processes. there's been growing anger over the amount paid to executives in the years before the collapse. an operation is under way to repatriate around 150,000 british holiday—makers booked with thomas cook. details have been released in the united states of the telephone call at the centre of moves to impeach president trump. democrats triggered the process — by which a president can be removed from office — following accusations he asked his ukrainian counterpart to investigate a leading democrat rival in return for hundreds of millions of dollars of us aid. mr trump has denied any wrongdoing and has called the inquiry a witchhunt. 0ur north america editorjon sopel has the latest. the ukrainian president isn't normally a star of un week. he's not top of the bill. but volodymyr zelensky‘s conversation back in july with the world's most powerful man

has put him in the spotlight. because this call could determine the fate of the us president. donald trump, who now faces an impeachment inquiry, the mechanism by which congress can remove a sitting president, is emphatic he's done nothing wrong. it's the single greatest witchhunt in american history, probably in history, but in american history. it was going to be the call from hell. it turned out to be a nothing call, other than a lot of people said i never knew you could be so nice. the president wanted his democratic challengerjoe biden investigated, along with his son, who had business interests in ukraine. donald trump, who is still in new york, has released a partial transcript of the phone conversation. in it, the us president takes the highly irregular step of asking his ukrainian counterpart or a favour. "the other thing, there's a lot of talk about biden‘s son, that biden stopped the prosecution, and a lot of people want to find out about that. so whatever you can do with the attorney general would be great."

but the democrats say that the president seeking dirt on a domestic political rival from a foreign leader is unforgivable. like any mafia boss, the president didn't need to say "that's a nice country you have, it would be a shame if something happened to it." because that was clear from the conversation. this partial transcript is damning, but not deadly. yes, the president seeks info on a political rival from a foreign leader. but there is no quid pro quo, no unless you give us the dirt, we won't give you aid. nevertheless, in a divided country, buckle up for what will be a bitter and take—no—hostages fight. democrats crying high crimes and misdemeanours, republicans shouting witchhunt. jon sopel, bbc news, new york. the duke and duchess of sussex have introduced their baby son archie to renowned anti—apartheid campaigner archbishop desmond tutu on the couple's 10—day tour of southern africa.

it is the first time the four—month—old has been clearly seen in public. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell was there. he's four months and 19 days old now, and little has been seen of archie harrison mountbatten—windsor since his birth on the 6th of may. but here he was in cape town today with his mother and father, to meet one of cape town's most celebrated citizens, archbishop desmond tutu and his daughter, thandeka. archie, inevitably, became the centre of attention. that's something he'll need to get used to. oh, you like the ladies? sensible conversation was temporarily suspended so that everyone could try a bit of baby talk. encouraging sounds and, of course, admiring comments.

suffice it to say that archie took it all in his stride, and played his part to perfection. he's clearly a natural at this sort of thing. he won't remember it, of course, but the moment was captured for immediate release to many front pages. archie and the archbishop. you saw it here first. nicholas witchell, bbc news, cape town. time for a look at the weather. matt is here. come on, we don't want a picture like that! we are definitely into autumn and thatis we are definitely into autumn and that is going to continue. there will be some sunshine at times for the rest of the week so don't despair too much. keep the waterproofs to hand, because there is more wet and windy weather coming our way. it's all down to the position and strength of the jet stream. that has invigorated and is piling across the atlantic to our

shores. thejet piling across the atlantic to our shores. the jet stream separates the warm airfrom the shores. the jet stream separates the warm air from the south, the colder airforthe warm air from the south, the colder airfor the north, warm air from the south, the colder air for the north, and warm air from the south, the colder airfor the north, and its beads up areas of low pressure, firing them towards us. it brings wet and windy weather. 0ne towards us. it brings wet and windy weather. one area of low pressure after another. 0ne weather. one area of low pressure after another. one is getting close tonight. while we have showers across the country, for a time it will be replaced by longer spells of rain, heavy at times, particularly the hills in the west, maybe an inch of rainfor the hills in the west, maybe an inch of rain for the cumbrian fells and western parts of scotland. winds from a general southerly direction, switching from south—east to the south—west. temperatures in the low to mid teens. a mild enough start tomorrow, done for central scotland, used the south—east of england, for the early morning commute. with the exception of northern scotland, most places will brighten quickly. sunny spells developing. enough of a breeze to blow them showers through quite quickly. it will feel fresher, given the strength of the wind. 0n friday, we will see longer spells of heavy, thundery rain spreading west

to east, preceded by some sunshine, followed by some sunshine, still some fairly gusty winds. in england and wales, they could touch gale force and it will mean slightly cooler feels as we go into friday. temperatures in the teens, where we should be for this time of year, but the wind will make it feel a touch cooler. saturday, more wet weather around, but there will be dry moments as well. southern scotland coming to northern england to begin with, sunshine and showers further south, keep an eye on this, pressure spreading its way into being wet and windy weather into england and wales. a reminder of our top story... the prime minister has flown back to the uk and is due to address mps any moment following the unlawful suspension of parliament. that is all from us. but you can follow events on the bbc news channel. and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... boris johnson returns from new york to face mps, after the supreme court found he acted unlawfully when he suspended parliament. mrjohnson is due to speak in parliament, which resumed this morning, in the next hour, but the attorney—general has already been making his views known. this parliament is a dead parliament! it should no longer sit. it has no moral right to sit on these green benches.
