another good thing you can say about lego is that you can leave it outside, whatever the weather. chris is back. very good afternoon. we were talking about the flooding, just as a recap, we have a number of flood warnings in place. 55 in england, ten in wales and more rain in the forecast, not just today. this wales and more rain in the forecast, notjust today. this area of cloud you can see to the south—west will bring more wet weather and again to england and wales as we go through monday and tuesday. so we are not done with the risk of flooding just yet. latest radar pictures shows the main area of persistent rain across northern england. plenty of showers elsewhere, particularly across central and eastern parts of england, a few showers as well for the north and west of scotland, one or two the north and west of scotland, one ortwo in the north and west of scotland, one or two in northern ireland as well. u nsettled. or two in northern ireland as well. unsettled. temperatures for most of

us unsettled. temperatures for most of us between 16—20, cooler under that area of persistent rain across the eastern counties of england. overnight, as low pressure pulls away, we will start to see the winds pick up across south—east england for a time before later on in the night as it clears away to europe and it will turn later and with clear spells, a future for northern scotla nd clear spells, a future for northern scotland and more cool. temperatures in towns and cities down into single figures in many cases. looking at monday, a bright start for many of us, but showers from the word go in northern scotland and it quickly we will see the next area of low pressure spell cloud went and rain back into wales and back into western and southern countries of england. that windmill be heavy. could be another 70 millimetres of rain over high ground. bidding in mind we already have flood warnings in place. more rain on tuesday as well. eventually, it will start to get a bit brighter from the well. eventually, it will start to

get a bit brighterfrom the north. but it will start to draw in some more cool air. tuesday, around 18 degrees in the south. further north, temperatures only around nine or 10 degrees. that is the latest weather. hello this is bbc news with shaun ley. the headlines: as the conservative party conference gets under way in manchester, the prime minister defends his use of language in the brexit debate. 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. 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. and hong kong sees further clashes between police and pro—democracy protesters ahead of the 70th anniversary of communist rule in china. now on bbc news, the week in parliament. hello, again and welcome to the week in parliament. a week the government tried, but failed, to ban. colleagues, welcome back

to our place of work. hear, hear! borisjohnson delivered his own supreme court verdict. it is absolutely no disrespect to the judiciary to say that i think the court was wrong. but his defiance and a language created uproar among mps. i had a death threat this week that, literally, quoted the prime minister and used the prime minister's name and words in a death threat that was delivered to my staff. more, lots more, to come on a week when even the speaker described the atmosphere in the commons as toxic. but first, cast your mind back a couple of weeks or so, remember this? booing. shame on you, shame on you! and this ceremony involving much doffing of hats and a smattering of norman french. and this parliament is accordingly prorogued until monday the 14th

day of october. well, don't worry if you can't remember the 9th of september in parliament...it never happened. the decision to advise her majesty to prorogue parliament was unlawful because it had the effect of frustrating or preventing the ability of parliament to carry out its constitutional functions without reasonable justification. 2a hours later, the speaker explained what that meant to mps who had returned to work. colleagues, welcome back to our place of work. hear, hear! the uk supreme court ruled, yesterday, that parliament has not been prorogued. as you were, then. a defiant prime minister was forced to fly back early from the united nations in new york. he blamed opposition parties

were blocking a general election. and, despite the fact that i followed the exact same process as my predecessors in calling a queen's speech, the supreme court was asked to intervene in this process for the first time ever and it is absolutely no disrespect to the judiciary to say i think the court was wrong to pronounce on what is, essentially, a political question. the judges concluded there was no reason, and i quote, let alone a good reason, for the prime minister to have shut down parliament. shame on you! after yesterday's ruling, mr speaker, the prime minister should have done the honourable thing and resigned. hear, hear! the prime minister returned fire. he can't control his own party,

he can't decide whether he's for leave or remain, he is being held captive by his colleagues, the electorate are being held captive by this zombie parliament and this zombie opposition and he wants the entire country to be held captive in the eu after october the 31st at the cost of more than £1 billion a month. we say, no. i say, no. let's get brexit done and let's take this country forward. hear, hear! we must unstick this mess and we must trust the people to make their choice. we cannot trust this prime minister. his time must be up. his days of lying, of cheating and of undermining the rule of law must be numbered. even my five—year—old knows that if you do wrong, you have to say sorry. if my son can apologise

for kicking a football indoors, surely the prime minister can have the humility to say sorry for misleading the queen, misleading the country and illegally shutting down our democracy. i came here today, notjust to represent my constituents, but hoping that there is a prime minister would show —— hoping that this prime minister would show humility in the face of this condemnation and this judgment. will he now apologise, if not to this place, to the country? and has he apologised to her majesty the queen? hear, hear! as she can imagine, i will not comment on my conversations with her majesty. borisjohnson infuriated opposition mps by describing the law that could force him to ask for a delay to brexit as the "surrender act". one referred tojo cox, the labour mp murdered during the referendum campaign. we stand here, mr speaker, under

the shield of our departed friend, with of us in this place subject to death threats and abuse every single day and, let me tell the prime minister, that they often quote his words "surrender act", "betrayal", "traitor" — and i, for one, am sick of it! we must moderate our language and it has to come from the prime minister first. absolutely. so i would be interested in hearing his opinion. he should be absolutely ashamed of himself. hear, hear! applause. as the woman who has taken over a seat that was left by our dear friend jo cox, can i ask him, in all honesty, as a human being, please, please, will he, going forward, moderate his language so that we will all feel secure when you're going about ourjobs? hear, hear. can i say that the sure—fire way... applause. mr speaker, i think, of course that there will be

an attempt to try to obfuscate the effect of this act, but it does ...the capitulation act, or the surrender act, or whatever you want to call it, it does... i'm sorry, but it greatly enfeebled this government's ability to negotiate. but what i will say is that the best way to honour the memory ofjo cox and, indeed, the best way to bring this country together would be, i think, to get brexit done. i absolutely do. it was almost as if they'd never been away. earlier, the attorney general, geoffrey cox, whose legal advice on prorogation was rejected by the supreme court, pronounced that this parliament is dead. in a fiery question and answer session, he said opposition mps were scared of a general election. they, in turn, accused him of lacking any sense of shame after the government's actions were judged to be unlawful. the government accepts the judgment

and accept that it was the case. —— and accepts that it lost the case. and, at all times, the government acted in good faith. clamouring. and in the belief... and in the belief that its approach was both lawful and constitutional. he came under pressure to publish the legal advice he gave to the prime minister. i am bound by the long—standing convention that the views of the law offices are not disclosed outside the government without their consent. however, i will consider, over the coming days, whether the public interest might require a greater disclosure of the advice given to the government on the subject. i am unable to give an undertaking

or a promise to the honourable lady at this point, but the matter is under consideration. he was answering an urgent question from joanna cherry, a leading figure in the legal battle. let me start by assuring the attorney general that i'm not going to call for his resignation, yet. 0h! mr speaker, yesterday was a very special day for scots law under —— and the scottish legal tradition going back to the declaration of arbroath that the government is not above the law. documents showing mr cox's advice to the government, stating that prorogation was legal, have been leaked to the media. many of us believe that the attorney general is being offered up as a fall guy for the prime minister's botched plans. hear, hear! so, does he not agree with me that to release the advisor to release the advice in its entirety will help him avoid being the scapegoat for a plan that was a dreamed up by the prime minister and his advisers? and will he give the undertaking that he has hinted that he is thinking of getting today?

labour called for the advice to be published. this government stands in shame, tendering illegal advice to our monarch and not even able to uphold that most basic, but most important of principles, abiding by the rule of law. on this attorney general‘s watch, the government has been found in contempt of parliament. now it has been found in contempt of the law. incredible. doesn't he just accept that he has not got a shred of credibility left? hear, hear! i don't know whether, in his practice when he was at the bar, that he felt that just because he had given advice that might not have been upheld by a court that he had no credibility. that is an absurd and ridiculous proposition. rather than being as a newfangled, innovative decision, this was a profoundly conservative decision by the supreme court, asserting the ancient sovereignty of parliament and that, fundamentally, the principle

at stake here is that, of course, neither that court nor any other court should determine whether brexit takes place. that decision has been made by the people, but it is for this house, the only directly elected representatives of the people, to determine the form in which that brexit happens. geoffrey cox replied that parliament had rejected both a brexit deal and no deal. this parliament is a dead parliament. it should no longer sit. it has no moral right to sit on the green benches and whatever... clamouring. mps shouted and jeered as the attorney general said there should be an election. they can agree to a motion to allow this house to dissolve, but they are too cowardly... clamouring. hear, hear! this parliament should

have the courage to face the electorate, but it won't. it won't because so many of them are really all about preventing us leaving the european union. hear, hear! but the time is coming... the time is coming, mr speaker, when even these turkeys would be —— will not be able to prevent christmas! no shame today. no shame at all. the fact that this government, cynically manipulated the prorogation to shut down this house so that it could not work as a democratic assembly. he knows that that is the truth and to come here with his barrister‘s bluster to obfuscate the truth, and for a man like him,

a party like that and a leader like this — this prime minister to talk about morals and morality is a disgrace! barry sheerman. as mps gathered the morning after those angry scenes, the speaker had his say. i think there is a widespread sense, across the house and beyond, that yesterday the house did itself no credit. hear, hear. there was an atmosphere in the chamber worse than any i've known in my 22 years in the house. on both sides, passions were inflamed. angry words were uttered. the culture was toxic. john bercow said it ought to be

possible to disagree agreeably. two senior mps, kenneth clarke and harriet harman, had approached him about a review of westminster‘s political culture. it was not, he said, a matterfor parties and point scoring. it is about something bigger than an individual or an individual party. 0r bigger than an individual or an individual party. oran individual political or ideological viewpoint. let's treat a it on that basis. and in the meantime, may ijust ask, and that is all i am going and all i can do as your representative and the chair, ask colleagues, please, to lower the decibel level and to try to treat each other as opponents, not as enemies. a labour mp asked an urgent question, prompted by boris johnson's comments. it was left to a junior minister to reply. british democracy has i was been a robust and vibra nt, healthy

democracy has i was been a robust and vibrant, healthy respectful debate is vibrant to our democracy. freedom of speech is a fundamental british liberty. but it is not an excuse british liberty. but it is not an excuse to threaten or abuse anyone whose views you do not agree with. that liberty is compromised when a culture of intimidation and forces people out of public life or discourages citizens from engaging in the political process. let me make clear and say, with no equivocation, such behaviour is wrong, unacceptable and must be addressed. i do not just wrong, unacceptable and must be addressed. i do notjust want to probe into the idea that we all get abuse and now that we're going to hear a lot of that today, because we all get abuse and i have had a death threat this week that, literally, quoted the prime minister and use the prime minister's name and words any death rate that was delivered to my staff. when i hear of my friend's murder and the way that it has made me and my colleagues feel and feel scared described as humbug, i actually did not feel anger towards

the prime minister. i feel pity. for those of you who still have to toe his line. jess phillips faced criticism for her own behaviour. she was the person i could hear screaming the loudest from her bench. hear, hear! . so noticeable was it that she was actually having a conversation with one of the web that was standing by the side of your chair mr speaker. it was that which created a significant impression to people watching this debate of the hostility that the media reported. it was boris johnson who found himself most in the firing line. what should have happened yesterday is that the prime minister should have come in front of this house and apologised for acting unlawfully. hear, hear! . he should have held his hands up, agreed he acted wrongly and pledge not to do it again. instead, he chose to brazen it out. the lib dem leader wa nted brazen it out. the lib dem leader wanted an assurance. that there will

be no deliberate campaign to use that kind of language to inflame, but i fear that he cannot because the repeated use of those inflammatory words by the prime minister yesterday was, inflammatory words by the prime ministeryesterday was, it inflammatory words by the prime minister yesterday was, it seemed, betty obviously deliberate. —— very obviously deliberate. there is a strategy. the prime minister is the last thing standing between ending the brexit enterprise entirely. he can expect no quarter. absolutely everything is going to be thrown at him, isn't it? thank you, mr speaker i think it is safe to say as you, your self reflective, mr speaker, that the bag is has caused arguments, passions and debate. the premise is very clear that hesiod to deal with it is to ensure that we

deliver it on the 31st of october 19. kevin foster. there has been more to the westminster week than angry people shouting angrily at each other. about how angry they are. the collapse of the travel company thomas cook prompted cook's calls from the government to do more to help the stranded passengers. the transport secretary told mps it would require a thousand flights to bring home 150,000 holiday—makers in 50 countries. we've never had the colla pse 50 countries. we've never had the collapse of an airliner holiday company on the scale before. we've responded swiftly and decisively. right now our efforts are focused on getting those passengers home and looking after those employees who have lost their jobs. looking after those employees who have lost theirjobs. we also need to understand whether any individuals have failed in their duties of stewardship within the company. then our efforts will turn to working through the reforms necessary to ensure that passengers do not find themselves in this

particular situation again. thomas cook's directors and auditors have serious questions to answer. in the la st serious questions to answer. in the last five years, £20 million of bonuses had been paid to those directors and the company is now going under with more than £3 billion of debt. my constituents have what is a jobs, worries about their pensions. should we not be seizing the assets of the directors who have plundered this company and took it to run? the international trade secretary made an unreserved apology to the comments for two beaches of a quite —— to breaches of a court order banning the sale of weapons to saudi arabia which could be used in the yemen conflict. she extent be used in the yemen conflict. she exte nt m ps be used in the yemen conflict. she extent mps what she thought had happened. without seeking to prejudice the independent investigation. it appears that information pertaining to the conflict had not been fully shared across government. as soon as the issue was brought to my attention, on the 12th of september, i took

immediate action. action which included launching a full internal review. as a result of the internal review. as a result of the internal review so far, we have identified one by the license that is being granted in breach. of the undertaking given to the court of appeal. this license has not been used and has now been revoked. my officials are also carrying out an urgent review of the composition of the commission. this has identified a further licence which is in breach of the parliamentary statement. we have reassessed the licence in light of the latest information and are subsequently revoked it. insofar as it has applies tojordan. subsequently revoked it. insofar as it has applies to jordanlj subsequently revoked it. insofar as it has applies to jordan. i think the response given by the secretary of state and these are shocking revelations that are to further extra licences would be breaking the law. and that further may yet be discovered. i welcome law. and that further may yet be discovered. iwelcome her unreserved apologies for the errors as it has

been called so far. but as johnson continues to be at the heart of commons debate. even when he not there. —— borisjohnson continues to be at the heart of debate. collins was told that he had no role whatsoever in getting a grant to an american entrepreneur. —— commons was told. it follows newspaper report about boris johnson's friendship with the woman when she was a london mayor. asking an urgent question, liberal democrat wanted to know if there was conflict—of—interest. know if there was conflict-of-interest. mr speaker, the fact that we are back in the commons today is because the prime minister has been shown to ride roughshod over the laws of this land. it would, indeed, be disappointing if we were to find that the prime minister has firm in bending the rules for personal or

political gain thank you mr speaker. thank you mr speaker i would like to thank the prime minister that like to assure you that the prime ministerand to assure you that the prime minister and his staff have had no role in the word of this kind. this is a company that is based in britain, as far as company boss mycosis concerned, it has a company with the british were numbered. we will review that, but we have no reason to think that the mac clamouring. we have no reason to think there is anything untoward in this particular matter. and one of the reason that mps were sceptical about that last answer was because of the british phone number is a p pa re ntly of the british phone number is a ppa re ntly a nswered of the british phone number is apparently answered in california. mps had only been back a day and a half when the government tried to send them away again for another three days. this was so that the commons would not set during the conservative party conference in manchester. it is a convention for the uk party conferences. the snag for ministers was that for that to

happen, they had to enable it in the house of commons. and, with no government majority, we all know what that means. as many as are of the opinion, say "aye". to the contrary, "no". boris johnson's sixth, borisjohnson's sixth, defeat boris johnson's sixth, defeat since becoming panellist. -- since becoming prime minister. this is no way to the new parliament. earlier today we heard how we have to start as women to go on and to respect each other and the way that we speak to each other. i don't want to ask the leader of the house if he could ask the attorney general to come to the house to apologise, calling as a debt to and calling us turkeys is not appropriate language —— —— calling as a dead parliament and calling as a dead parliament and calling us turkeys is not

appropriate which. she says quite correctly that this is not a way to a new parliament and why we should have a general election and if only they would vote for it and have the courage of their convictions, we would have won. she then complains that the attorney general has called this a turkey parliament. i think it is more of a chicken parliament because it is trying to flap away from the general election that we need. and that would clear the air. and yes, we can gesticulate and murmured it coming from the benches opposite saying that we're going to get one. when? the country once one as soon as possible. —— are once one as soon as possible. —— are once one as soon as possible. the parliament, i would use the word adult, rather than dead, as the parliament of 1614, which was known as adult. —— the parliament that was known as addled. and he was at my 100 years.

my heart bleeds for the conservative members who will have to, during their conference. success of mp —— success of snp mps have tried to get the dates of our conference but have never been given a visa several dates. despite being the third largest here. even conservative mps joined in it when borisjohnson appeared before mps on wednesday. one of the candidates to succeed john bracco is not impressed. would it not improve the atmosphere in all of our debates in the house if we returned to an older tradition and took a self—denying ordinance and all of us refused to club? ——

refused to clap. jacob rees—mogg giving support for one policy there. i hope you canjoin us for bbc parliament we can parliament at 11pm on monday.

this is bbc news, i'm shaun ley. the headlines at three. the prime minister insists he's been a ‘model of restraint‘, in his use of language about brexit. 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. the conservative party conference is now underway in manchester, the foreign secretary, dominic raab, will be speaking shortly. parents are urged to have conversations with their children about organ donation, in the hope that more young people willjoin the donor register. hong kong sees further clashes between police and pro—democracy protesters, ahead of the 70th anniversary of communist rule in china. and wales take a big step towards the rugby world cup
