towards the rugby world cup quarterfinals after narrowly beating australia. and at 12.30, click tests all things audio by paragliding, breaking glass and going to an eltonjohn concert. the conservative party conference opens today in manchester, with further assurances from the prime minister to deliver brexit. but the party conference comes amid growing speculation that opposition parties could table a vote of a no confidence against the government within days as they try to stop a no—deal brexit.

mrjohnson has also been defending his use of language in the house of commons during the heated exchanges on wednesday — which led to criticism from mps of all parties. i certainly think everybody should calm down. and i certainly think... including you? i think i've been a model of restraint. but i think everybody should calm down. and i think that it's very important... i mean, as i said, there are two... so, you don't regret the use of the word ‘humbug', at all? when an mp is discussing a death threat made against her? i think it is... wrong, in principle, that politicians should be prevented from trying to use... that's a different thing entirely! words like 'surrender'. i'm asking about your word, 'humbug'! not about 'surrender', your word humbug, when an mp has just described a death

threat against her! the word... it's very straightforward, everyone can understand it. i know, and i think what people can also understand, if i may say so, andrew, is that my use of the word humbug, was in the context of people trying to prevent me, us, from using the word 'surrender'. the prime minister also reiterated that he will get the uk out of the eu by the end of october. i think the best thing for the country and people's overall psychological health would be to get brexit done and it is not just i who think that. if you look at whether people voted leave or remain they really think that it is up to parliament now get this thing over the line. the health secretary, matt hancock told our assistant political editor, norman smith that the conservatives are committed to ensuring the uk leaving the european union at the end of october. i hope we don't have to. i hope we don't have toll i hope we don't have to. i think the best way is to do it legally. the

have to look at all options legally and the government has to obey the law but the best way of delivering brexit is with the deal. i now expect we will get a deal. why do you expect? because it is in everybody‘s interest. let's get brexit done. the country is crying out for this period of politics to come to a close and the european union, lots of them want to get brexit done. we have been debating brexit done. we have been debating brexit endlessly for three and a half years. i want to get onto delivering the exciting plans we have for the health service for insta nce have for the health service for instance in that other ministers have an education and in tackling crime, all the other priorities that people cared about. one of your close colleagues, amber rudd, left the cabinet. why are you still in the cabinet. why are you still in the cabinet? because i care about delivering for the people i serve,

the citizens of this country. i want the citizens of this country. i want the conservative party to be a broad church that attracts people and a tt ra cts church that attracts people and attracts the next generation and really delivers. what does that mean in terms of those who have been deselected? i would like to see people coming back to the conservative full to have left it as well that is absolutely true. but crucially i think that to resolve all of these difficulties and more you've got to deliver brexit and thatis you've got to deliver brexit and that is why, the strapline of this conference is get brexit done. it is an unusual strapline for a conference but that is the overlying aspect of what we need to do.“ conference but that is the overlying aspect of what we need to do. if you brought back the theresa may deal that would get substantial labour support but this morning boris johnson rule that out. does that not

mean the chances of increase of leaving without a deal? two months ago when we were talking about the slaughter people said the europeans will never reopen the withdrawal agreement and will never agree to changes to the backstop. they are now and they are having these live discussions in brussels about a new deal. is the prime minister going to brussels this week? i don't know his travel arrangements. steve barclay was there on friday and i am increasingly confident we can get a new deal get it through that house of commons and get out on 31st october. brexit is going to dominate pretty much everything even when we have big headline announcements on the nhs britain's most senior catholic clergyman has warned that some of the language being used in parliament could encourage violent extremists. speaking on radio 4's sunday programme cardinal vincent nichols, said that the events in the commons

last week had provoked an unambiguous response. last week had provoked as our correspondent john mcmanus explained to me earlier, it's the second time senior british christians have intervened about the tone and language of the brexit debate. on friday the group church of england bishops wrote a public letter saying that the tone had become unacceptable and saying that people inside and outside parliament should not denigrate oi’ patronise each other or the views of fellow citizens but the cardinal has gone even further on this interview radio 4. he is also the archbishop of westminster and does not usually get involved in social and political debate of this nature but he's been pretty blunt about what he sees as a dangerous

threat linked to some of the parliamentary language we have heard. referring to that very noisy ill tempered debate on wednesday parliament between mps and the prime minister themselves called for moderation of language, he said the reaction to that had been unambiguous and this wasn't the kind of leadership we need and that kind of language can give encouragement to streams views and actions. the debating chamber of parliament is at the centre of attention and therefore is bound to have a ripple effect. and of course there are people who actually want to instigate pockets of really violent opposition to people who are the parliamentary language we have heard this week as an excuse. theirs is the responsibility not to resort to violence but nobody should give any encouragement to that at all. the cardinal said he wasn't asking politicians to change what they were saying or even trying to tone down free speech but the manner in which they were talking to

each other and he said in his view that had been a denigration over the last ten years in the terms of public discourse were people resorting to slogans and insults more readily. on friday we heard from the church of england bishops, why do think the cardinal is making intervention now? we are so often hearing from pope francis practically every week where he makes remarks of an off—the—cuff but normally this does not happen in the catholic church in britain and they are normally more circumspect about social and political issues. they tend to keep their heads below the parapet but we have seen a rise in churchgoers, particularly

in london and that is partly been boosted by immigration. a lot of catholic immigrants still go to church regularly for reasons of faith and often for reasons to meet other people from their own home countries as well as social reasons. they are strangers in a strange land and i think some of them are perhaps concerned. we have heard concerns about so—called hate speech being aimed at immigrants and i think some of those concerns are probably working their way up from parish churches through priests to the highest levels of the catholic church and i think they have now reached the cardinal and i think that is why today he has got involved with this debate and made this intervention. let's take a closer look to the government's pledge to put billions of pounds into hospital projects across england. the proposals include a £2.7bn investment for six hospitals over five years and a new approach to mental health treatment to be trialled in 12 areas across the country. earlier i got the view of anita charlesworth — director of research and economics at the health foundation it is a big investment in one sense, on top of theresa may's investment last year which was for day—to—day running

costs of the nhs. but, although it sounds like a lot of money, we have had so many years of underinvestment in our hospital infrastructure, that actually, rather than spending £2.7 billion across the next five years, you would almost certainly need to spend £2.7 billion a year for the next five years, to really modernise the physical infrastructure of the health service. because that physical infrastructure has been pretty rundown? it might not seem like the most important thing, but actually if you think about what that means, hospitals haven't been maintaining lifts, and porters can't get the patient from the ward to the operating theatre on time to have the operation. a lot of this maintenance is absolutely critical. to getting the nhs to work and that

doesn't need buildings, it needs computers, people may well remember the mailweather virus last year and lots of doctors reported it takes 30 minutes to log on. you are queueing up with other doctors to get access to the computer. and it needs things like mri and ct scanners which are really important for cancer, diagnosing cancer. and we are way behind our european partners and access to some of this critical infrastructure. partners and access to some i was going to ask how our hospitals compare physically, in terms of the buildings and equipment, the levels of modernisation, to european partners or other relatively industrialised developed countries around the world ? we spend about half the amount that other countries spend on the physical infrastructure of running their health services. we have fewer beds than most of our partners, but what is really important and one of the big gaps in today's announcement, is that beds and capacity are useful, but actually you need doctors

and nurses to staff those beds. and we have a shortage of 40,000 nurses and today's announcements does nothing about what the government is going to do to address chronic shortages in the workforce. sure you can build shiny new hospitals but if you do not have doctors to staff them, you won't get extra capacity and people won't see improvements on the front line. generally, you have all the parties, political parties, talking more about large levels of investment in the national health service. and i suppose, looking into the future, yes it still has huge problems, but there is a general commitment, isn't there? to spend a lot more money on the nhs? after nine years of austerity, it is clear that there is general agreement that if we want a world—class health service we will have to pay for it. and that will require substantial investment in buildings, in staff, as well.

labour mps have rallied to support dame margaret hodge, who is facing a re—selection battle after her constituency voted for the chance to pick a new candidate. the former labour chairwoman harriet harman said she was dismayed by the move, saying 'surely this cannot stand'. the former foreign secretary david miliband said it was 'mad, truly crazy.‘ and that 'any constituency would be lucky to have margaret as their mp.‘ and the deputy leader of the labour party tom watson said he had 'no doubt margaret will win a full selection‘ but that the process was an unnecessary distraction on the cusp of a general election. dame margaret — who'sjewish, and has been critical of jeremy corbyn‘s handling of anti—semitism in the party — said she was "disappointed" but would fight to keep her seat in east london. parents should include children in conversations about organ donation, according to the organisation that oversees transplants in the uk.

nhs blood and transplant says young patients waiting on average more than two and a half times longer than adults for similar transplants. our reporter geraint thomas has been following the story of lilly who had a double transplant at the age of ii. my name is lilly kendall. i am 11 years old, and i am waiting for a heart and lung double transplant. at one stage, it looked likely lilly wouldn't even reach the age of ii. she spent herfirst three months in hospital with heart complications. medics advised her family to switch off her life—support machine. they managed to control her condition for nine years, but then she needed a lung and heart transplant. fewer than five children, across the uk, were on the double transplant waiting list at the time. hearts and lungs, in particular, need to be matched by size, so lilly was relying on a child organ donor. we've had a lot of difficult conversations, talking

about her funeral, what she would like. this is my daughter's life. this will change her life, and give me my daughter back. a week after we filmed with lilly, she got the call. she was taken to great ormond street hospital, where the double translate operation took over seven hours to complete. these were lilly's first breaths with her new lungs. i feel very amazing, very happy. i didn't think i would survive without these new heart and lungs. getting more donors to help patients, like lilly, is the challenge. children can sign the organ donor register, and if they are competent to make that decision, then that should be given the same weight as if an adult had signed it. but obviously the final decision, as with adults, is with families, and, therefore, we need families to talk together about

what those wishes are. the headlines on bbc news... as the conservative party conference gets under way in manchester, the prime minister defends the language he uses in the brexit debate. meanwhile, britain's most senior catholic clergyman — cardinal vincent nichols —— has warned that some of the language being used in parliament could encourage violent extremists. parents are urged to have conversations with their children about organ donation in the hope that more young people willjoin the donor register. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's richard. wales have taken a big step

towards the quarterfinals of the rugby world cup by beating australia 29—25 in a thrilling game in tokyo. the narrow victory means they consolidate their place at the top of pool d — our correspodent katie gornall was there.... i'm pretty happy with the attitude we showed in the first half. we were pretty tense of the second half. it is always easy to end up defending a lead. but credit to the guys in goal, they came with us with everything the setting up an early test result.

the welsh flew out of the blocks, dominated the first half and went in at the break leading 23—8 thanks to tries from hadleigh parkes and gareth davies... the aussies fought back with scores from dane haylett petty and adam ashley cooper and were just a point behind wales .but the pendulum swung back for the welsh. a rhys patchell penalty stretched the lead to four points and they hung on for a memorable for victory that consolidates their place at the top of pool d.

we have flood warnings in place. absolutely. i'm not surprised that a litany of cancelled events. i was talking to a friend who was heavily involved in the eventing world and he says virtually every event he has heard of today across england and wales has gone including one in scotland. talking of the flood warning up to 51, that was the latest one before i came in. if you forgive the pun bubbling underneath we have 202 flood alerts. that is the very latest information i have from the environment agency website. that is just from england and wales. scotla nd that is just from england and wales. scotland has not had as much rain over night northern did northern ireland. they had a bit of a wet night. the good news is the rain is moving away from the borders of scotla nd moving away from the borders of scotland but the problem those organisers have had the north of england as the rain is likely to persist there and they could see another 20 to 30 millimetres quite

easily on them rivers are not responding as you would expect given the amounts of rain we have had. so there is more to come? sadly yes. before this system is done with us we will be looking at strong winds coming down the north sea coast, particularly entries and glare and high tide at kingsland at eight o'clock tonight coinciding with strong loudly when to stop —— king's lynn. along with some strong northerly winds. the environment agency and a run website bbc weather and updating. we could be looking at gusts of a0 to 50 mph. tomorrow the commute is bright and sunny and chilly, the other face a bottom and right from the word go to the south—west another area of cloud and wind and rain and that will be what you get across england and wales again with another few tens of

millimetres of rain on three tuesday as well. really it is not till we get to midweek that things begin to change a little bit. and we keep hearing something about lorenzo.“ a category five hurricane in the middle of the atlantic it is not causing great issues and is nowhere near land but what may happen, and i do stress the may, as if you're want a website at the moment such as american to try carrick into the middle of the atlantic, they have a cone of uncertainty over 1000 miles wide so determined and safe what is the forecast for thursday and friday? at this range it is a tough ask and if you find a in the can a nswer ask and if you find a in the can answer it... he is a genius. it is not a political interview, hold your horses on this one. if it ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time the wrong place at the wrong time the latter end of this week many of my colleagues will be talking about

lorenzo because it will bring a combination of very wet and very stormy conditions. but that is the most on one of the smoke to play for at this range. —— enormous amount to play for at this range. hong kong police have again fired water cannon, tear gas and pepper spray to break up anti—government protesters in another weekend of increasingly violent clashes. here are the latest pictures — you can see the clashes between police and pro—democracy campaigners have stepped up, ahead of the anniversary of the founding of communist china. the bbc‘s steven mcdonnell is there.

outside police headquarters protesters have been firing tear grass and the —— might miss out on the police responding with rubber bullets and tear gas. the police have the activists back on the street in that direction. they tried to storm this barricade but that the idid not to storm this barricade but that the i did not have a chance. this is because of the run—up to the 70th anniversary tuesday of the communist party coming to power. because for them, it is something

of a last fight how they feel and the 70th anniversary on tuesday is a very big moment in china and the hong kong activists are determined to use it to their own ends. the government, campaign groups and the police have been warning about the rise of far—right extremism across the uk... tonight the bbc‘s countryfile programme reports on how a new belief called "eco—fascism" is taking extremism into the countryside. here's charlotte smith far right extremism is on the rise, not just in cities but in the countryside. neo—nazis have even been holding night time gatherings at english heritage and national trust sites, such as this one here in avebury, in wiltshire. there is a strand of nazism which goes back to heinrich himmler... orofessor roger griffin says far right extremists are now interested in rural and environmental issues. what modern fascists are happily doing is making a link between what they consider to be the pollution of the race through such things as mass migration and cosmopolitanism and pollution of the countryside, what this leads to is this term, eco—fascism.

but it is feared such extreme views are becoming easier to access. and that's thanks to a new breed of radical for great activists, far right activists, who are using social media —— far right activists, who are using social media to reach a younger audience. this group is called british revival. it portrays itself as a patriotic alternative to extinction rebellion. but we did a little more digging, and we found it was set up by a man called michael wrenn, this is him with a group called generation identity, a group the government says promotes damaging and extreme views. michael wrenn ran their rural division in the south—west. so, is british revival simply a front for the same extreme views on immigration that generation identity has? british people are slowly becoming a minority in their own country. it's the way generation identity may choose to portray it that i don't agree with. are they markedly different though, if we are honest? we are in the same general ballpark, but that could be said about a lot of groups. the government's advisers,

the commission for countering extremism, says british revival is a frightening example of hateful extremism. when countryfile approached facebook with its finding, they closed british revival and the michael wrenn‘s pages. and you can see charlotte's full report on countryfile on bbc1 tonight at 6.15pm for nearly 90 years children — and sometimes grown—ups — have been playing with lego. it is one of the most popular toys in the world. in finland — they've been hosting the country's largest ever lego convention. and it seems the possibilities are endless — as the bbc‘s tim allman reports. it's amazing what you can do with thousands and thousands of little plastic bricks. say you fancy a replica of a classic portrait, by vermeer? no problem. you've always had a hankering

for a life—sized bust of a certain occupant of the white house? voila. the 15,000 or so people at this convention are, to put it mildly, lego crazy. this is a fever that can run in the family. translation: i got my own lego bricks when i was just one—year—old and have been building ever since. my own boys got interested, they are now in their 20s and their girlfriends join in with us! my wife builds too! the plan, this year, was particularly ambitious. the building of a lego mega city. everyone making their little bit, then putting it all together. the results were pretty spectacular. that's actually the largest lego city ever built in finland, around 1,500 base plates and 1,500 builders, of course. then there is lego in monochrome. pyramids and temples

all made out of plastic.
