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 quarterfinals, after

narrowly beating australia. good afternoon. borisjohnson says he's been "a model of restraint" when it comes to the language he uses in the brexit debate. it follows a week of bitter exchanges between mps in the commons. the prime minister refused to apologise for words such as "surrender" when describing the legislation designed to stop the uk leaving the european union without a deal. this report now from our political correspondent jonathan blake at the conservative party conference in manchester — and it does contains some flash photography. despite the weather, manchester might be a welcome change of scene for the prime minister, after a week in westminster he may want to forget. why did you lie to parliament, boris? why did you lie to the queen? when are you going to resign, boris? and accusations have followed him

here that his use of language about brexit is dangerous, that downing street is exploiting divisions, even inciting violence. labour say boris johnson should be ashamed. his response? it's an overreaction. well, i certainly think everybody should calm down and i certainly think... including you? i think i've been a model of restraint. my use of the word "humbug" was in the context of people trying to prevent me, us from using the word "surrender". my intention... so you can say sorry for the misunderstanding at least? i can certainly say sorry for the misunderstanding, because my... 0k. from the moment he arrived last night, and at every turn throughout this conference, borisjohnson‘s message will be clear, despite warnings about the consequences coming out of the eu by the end of october, with or without a deal is what people want and need. i think that the best thing for the country and the best thing for people's overall psychological health, would be to get brexit done. the prime minister, we are told,

will speak to other eu leaders over the next few days and he says there is a good chance of doing a deal. but, if he cannot get an agreement over the line, will he step aside? i have undertaken to lead the party, and my country, at a difficult time and i am going to continue to do that. i believe it is my responsibility. questions, too, for the prime minister, about his friendship with the businesswoman, jennifer arcuri, and whether she received special treatment on trade visits, while mrjohnson was mayor of london. an emphatic denial he did anything wrong. everything was done in accordance with all... i asked you a very specific question. you have to declare an interest, did you declare it? there was no interest to declare. well, she was a friend of yours, she got public money... let's be absolutely clear, i'm very, very proud of everything we did and, certainly, everything i did as the mayor of london. and with that, the prime minister was off to north manchester general hospital, to highlight the government's pledge to fund new nhs facilities and rebuild existing ones.

this is the biggest ever investment... six hospital trusts will get a share of £2.7 billion, with more promised in the future, if the tories can hold onto power. jonathan blake, bbc news, manchester. our chief political correspondent, vicki young, is in manchester. as many questions as answers in the conference coming up this week, not least how much time will be spent in manchester and how much time will be spent in westminster? that's right. we know that mps refused to grant the recess, the normal break in parliament that you have the party conferences. it happens every other year, they have not done it this time. the conservatives were determined to go ahead with us, partly because there are a lot of businesses here, the money has been sheued businesses here, the money has been shelled out and they want to carry on as usual. but there is chat here

about having to go back to westminster at some point. this possibility of a vote in no confidence in the government, perhaps it is slightly going away. there is concern in the opposition parties that it simply won't work. partly because, even if they can win a vote of no—confidence in boris johnson, you have to find someone who can be prime minister with the confidence of the house. that is proving to be incredibly difficult. the democrats and conservatives who we re the democrats and conservatives who were kicked out of the parliamentary party, said they would not back jeremy corbyn to be prime minister, even on a temporary basis. —— liberal democrats. they have to coalesce around another figure or have two weeks and then a general election and then they fear we might be able to leave without a do at the end of october. so it looks, for now, like that might not be happening. but of course, mpc and the government will be on alert to dash back to westminster if they have to. —— mps here. he won't want

to be sitting on the bench on his own, borisjohnson, to be sitting on the bench on his own, boris johnson, so to be sitting on the bench on his own, borisjohnson, so i'm mps will be sent back to keep him company. own, borisjohnson, so i'm mps will be sent back to keep him companym westminster is not going to be immediately a concern for boris johnson, is brussels? because we are beyond that 30 day deadline for new ideas at angela merkel helpfully laid out when he went to see her in berlin last month. we are, what is it, one month away from when we are supposed to be leaving the european union? presumably this is a week when some of that has to go on? technical talks have been going on. in fact we will hear from stephen barclay the brexit secretary in the next half hour or so. he and others, including michael gove in charge of no deal planning, will have a panel session in the hall and will be taking questions on this. they insist they are ready for no deal but are still pursuing the option of

a deal. that is their preferred option, i don't think there is any doubt about that. they do not want the uncertainty of no deal, no matter how much precautions you take. they were prepared to have a deal. —— they would prefer to have a deal. —— they would prefer to have a deal. the question is how credible are the options being put forward by the uk? no formal options yet. the issue, politically for boris johnson, he wants the conference out of the way. once this is out of the way, anything he tables will be lea ked way, anything he tables will be leaked and it will cause may be some side or the other in the conservative party. some of the options being talked about are going back to a northern —— northern ireland only backstop and then theresa may said it would be uk wide backstop. northern ireland do not

wa nt to backstop. northern ireland do not want to be treated differently to the rest of the united kingdom, so it could well be a problem. could we go back to the possibility of a time—limited backstop? the eu said they would not do that. no windows, but it has what borisjohnson would prefer, although he constantly talking about the how he's willing to do that if necessary, but there isa to do that if necessary, but there is a small matter of the law. the benn act brought in to make sure he has to ask for it delay to brexiter there is no deal by the 19th of october. becky young at the conservative party conference, thank you very much. —— vicki young. conservative party conference, thank you very much. -- vicki young. we saw the defence secretary in our opening titles, that is liz truss, speaking at the moment. and we should be hearing from dominic raab in an extreme on —— in the next few moments. 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 £2.7 billion 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 ,we heard from 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. and nhs doesn'tjust need buildings, it needs computers, people may well

remember the virus last year 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 in access to some of this critical infrastructure. 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 got a shortage of 40,000 nurses and today's announcements still does nothing about what the government is going to do to address the chronic shortages in the workforce. 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 that. and that will require substantial investment in buildings, in staff, as well. 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. our correspondent, john mcmanus, has been following the story and says the catholic church normally tries to stay out of the political sphere. this is the second intervention into oi’ this is the second intervention into or three days by senior christians. on friday, senior church of england bishops wrote an open letter talking about the tone and style of language being used around the brexit debate. they said that the tone had actually become unacceptable and that we should not denigrate or patronise people on the opposite side of the political spectrum. vincent nichols, the leader of catholics in england and wales, has gone even further, talking on radio for this morning. he said that, he had been pretty blunt in terms of the threats he thinks are posed by some of this language. i am thinks are posed by some of this language. iam referring thinks are posed by some of this language. i am referring to the debate in parliament, you remember, very bad—tempered debate between mps and boris johnson. very bad—tempered debate between mps and borisjohnson. where some mps call for moderation of the language.

vincent nichols said that the reaction to that had been unambiguous and that wasn't the king of leadership the country needed. he said that end of language could give encouragement to violent and extremist views. the debate in chamber of parliament is at the centre of attention, and therefore it 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 in this country and they don't need much encouragement. so, they will use the parliamentary language that we have heard this week, as an excuse. theirs is the responsibility not to resort to violence but we shouldn't, nobody should give any encouragement to that at all. the cardinal being very clear there. but he wasn't asking for politicians to change their political views...

the foreign secretary dominic raab is on his feet at manchester, let's have a listen. 15 years ago, i was a young foreign office lawyer. i was posted out to the hague. and i used to have diplomats from asia, to south america, they would come up to me and say... guys in the eu spend so me and say... guys in the eu spend so much time talking to yourselves. you miss so much of what is going on in the rest of the world. it was true then and it is true today. brussels isn't the only game in town. everywhere i go, as foreign secretary, people are fired up for oui’ secretary, people are fired up for our vision for a global britain. when i visited the us, president trump invited me into the oval office to tell me just how much he loves our country and how much he admires our prime minister. when i visit bangkok, for the meeting of asia—pacific nations, they embrace oui’ asia—pacific nations, they embrace our role in their region because

they prize our commitment to the rules —based international system. in mexico, we talked about climate change. in canada, we talked about oui’ change. in canada, we talked about our joint change. in canada, we talked about ourjoint campaign to protect journalists around the world from torture and arbitrary detention. the truth is we brits get very warm welcome almost everywhere in the world. ok, maybe not in luxembourg. applause but do you know what? i think the british people have had more than enough of eu leaders disrespecting british prime ministers. applause so we will strive, in good faith, for a good deal. but if the eu spurned the opportunity for a win when —— win— win deal, we will leave

nosor when —— win— win deal, we will leave no s or buts. now, i hope we can stay good european neighbours and friends, but we will be free to chart our own friends, but we will be free to chart oui’ own course. friends, but we will be free to chart our own course. as masters of oui’ chart our own course. as masters of our own destiny, at home and abroad. but ina our own destiny, at home and abroad. but in a much more liberal and energetic approach to free—trade is liz truss has just been talking about. but our vision of global britain stretches beyond that and when i was posted to the hague back in 2003, i headed up the foreign office warned crane team —— war crime team. experiences like that stay with you. i visited sierra leone and met victims of the terrible conflict. i came across one boy who told me how a rebel soldier had asked whether he wanted a long oi’ had asked whether he wanted a long or short—sleeved before deciding where to wheel his machete on the arm. that was a heartbreaking story

to listen to. because i am proud that britain help sierra leone back on its feet. i am proud to have been pa rt on its feet. i am proud to have been part of the uk international effort to bring the perpetrators of those crimes to justice. so as we look to oui’ crimes to justice. so as we look to our future, crimes to justice. so as we look to ourfuture, i think ourforeign policy should be guided by a clear moral compass. we have got to offer the proudest companies —— proudest countries the chance to deal with us. countries the chance to deal with us. we are hosting the global conference on climate change over in glasgow next year. we have got to offer the downtrodden around the world the hope that comes with standing upfor world the hope that comes with standing up for the basic freedoms we cherish you in manchester this week in this very conference centre. sometimes it feels like a hopeless task. but history remembers the

courage of those who stand up to be counted. back in the 1990s, i met a russian dissident. he had been locked in a soviet gulag for nine yea rs locked in a soviet gulag for nine years because he was campaigning for the rights of oppressed duejew in russia. nine years in a sovietjail, think about those miserable conditions. being separated from your loved ones. i asked him what kept his hopes up for that time. he told me the political prisoners had a secret way of communicating in the gulag. the tapped on the walls encoded to spread the word. so when, in1983, encoded to spread the word. so when, in 1983, ronald reagan stood up and called out the soviet union as an evil empire, was prisoners came alive with a hum ofjailed

dissidents, tapping and whispering from cell to cell. and raking's courage and moral clarity give hope to those who feared they had been forgotten. —— ronald reagan's courage. and that man was the first prisoner to be released by mickey gorbachev. we must keep the flame of freedom alive in the darkest corners of the bleakest jails. freedom alive in the darkest corners of the bleakestjails. for those struggling for the basic freedoms we ta ke struggling for the basic freedoms we take for granted. the rates you jealously guard to have your say, to hold your politicians to account. so we will not look the other way. when the people of hong kong are beating on commuter trains for exercising their right to peaceful protests. applause we wa nt

we want to stand idly by whilst journalists are jailed or tortured oi’ journalists are jailed or tortured or be snap for criticising the despotic regime in venezuela. applause and we will never rest until all those bearing uk nationality, detained on a cruel whim in iran, are free to rejoin their loved ones at home. applause that is not our way. we will relish, not shrink from a duty to take a leading role in bringing the perpetrators of the worst injustices to account. whether it is ensuring the release of the two reuters journalists jailed in . when we leave the eu we will be able to do even more. so,

conference, i can tell you today, that when we leave the eu we will bring into force a uk law to put visa bans and asset freezes on those individuals deemed responsible for serious human rights abuses like torture. applause because the british people do not wa nt because the british people do not want those with blood on their hands doing their christmas shopping down in knightsbridge. they don't want their dirty money laundered through british banks. and because our vision of a truly global britain means being a force for good in the world, a global citizen. when i think about some of the challenges we face in the world and some of living under oppression, it reminds mejust how living under oppression, it reminds me just how lucky we are, how much we prize our heart and prosperity

and our freedoms in we prize our heart and prosperity and ourfreedoms in this we prize our heart and prosperity and our freedoms in this country and we must never take those for granted. that is what is at stake. if labour takes office underjeremy corbyn. the labour party, once a mainstream party, now hills the failed socialist experiment in venezuela, where the population stars and dissidents are shot in the street. a party that chooses to believe the kremlin over its own intelligence agencies, when putin's assassins poison people on the streets of salisbury and a party led byjeremy corbyn attends a funeral ofa man byjeremy corbyn attends a funeral of a man accused of massacring israeli athletes. i am a passionate brexiteer but there are things bigger than brexit. i'm keeping that lot out of downing street is one of them.

applause so to any other colleagues who may be tempted to putjeremy corbyn and that momentum mop into number ten, as part of some kind of temporary anti—brexit coalition, i say this. history would never forgive you. applause and, as for the liberal democrats... they want to scrap the result of the 2016 vote. you can't call yourself a democrat, put it in the name of your party, and then try to cancel a

referendum. applause no one ever no one ever accused no one ever accused the lib dems of consistency. but when it comes to offences under the trade description act, they are guilty as charged. applause this prime minister has got a better way. to take us forward. let's get brexit done, let's move on. let's unite behind at one nation vision for a country and let's bring the conservative family back together. we in the conservatives keep their promises. so we are going to make a success of brexit. we are going to let our country reach its full potential. with this pie ministers energy we will see is the historic opportunity for britain to reach out

to the world on our own terms with strong moral compass. my friends, it is time to put the past behind us. it is time to let go of the wrangling and the doubts. it is time for us to be the country we want to be. great britain. ambitious confident and free us up thank you all very much. applause that is dominic raab, foreign secretary, taking applause at the conservative party conference in which he has delivered his speech to the party activists there in manchester, calling for more confidence and a new outward —looking united kingdom, after brea kfast. —looking united kingdom, after breakfast. repeating once again prime minister pledged that the conservatives will lead britain out of the european union on the 31st of october, regardless of whether or not there is a deal and also dealing

with the situation in which the mps will be voting, of course. interesting line that has just come out from the health secretary, matt hancock, in which he says he accepts the law, and that is of course the law which was actually leading on the question of a law that says you cannot leave the european union u nless cannot leave the european union unless it is a real nfl is no deal you have to get an extension. boris johnson says he will not go to brussels to get an extension even though the law says he must. matt hancock saying we accept a lot but that does not mean you don't challenge the law sometimes. that will reinforce the impression that it may be that the prime minister plans to seek some kind of court challenge to that law. we will wait and see on that. that is matt hancock speaking, we havejust and see on that. that is matt hancock speaking, we have just heard from the foreign secretary dominic raab. we will leave the conference hall, they are beginning a debate and discussion led byjournalists on

the party's policy priorities of international affairs. let's look at the weather now stop the weather we have seen continues and we have a number of flood warnings in place across england and wales. with more rain forecast over the next few days, the situation could get worse before it gets better. it will be at the moment. the roads in derbyshire are the moment. the roads in derbyshire a re locally the moment. the roads in derbyshire are locally flooded. today's weather brought by this cloud but we are monitoring this next one which will bring some heavy rain back to england and wales as we go through monday and tuesday. things could get worse before they get better. the radar picture at the moment is picking up an area of persistent rain across parts of northern and eastern england. plenty of showers elsewhere such a pretty unsettled day. all down to this area of low pressure. as the low starts the pillar way eastwards during this evening, the winds will strengthen for a time across east anglia and

south—east england. for the second half of the night, the winds will fall like for many of us and with clear skies could be a few mist and fog patches forming, particularly in some of the river valleys and a chilly one. temperatures in towns and cities into single figures. a few showers across northern scotland which is how we start the day on monday. otherwise, a bright start to the day. dry for many of us with some sunshine but it will not say that way. the next area of low pressure bringing cloudy weather and some heavy rain back and across england and wales as the day goes by. we could see as much as 70 millimetres of rain which could lead to some localised flooding issues. certainly difficult driving conditions out and about. the rain continues monday night into tuesday, very gradually easing as we go through the day. as the low pressure pulls eastward. it might be reining in the south but it is still relatively mild. 18 degrees in london. with northerly winds for the rest of the uk, it will turn more

cool rest of the uk, it will turn more cool. 12 for belfast, ninth aberdeen, stornoway and lerwick. it will feel quite chilly. the cooler air makes its way to the south of the united kingdom as we head into wednesday. a chilly start to the day but it should be a decent day for many of us with probably the best weather of the week. should be fine with some sunshine and cloud bubbling up. a few showers from northern scotland and one or two down the north sea coast. high is only 13 in london. that is your weather.

it still 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.

that anniversary is coming up in just a few days' time. let's cross to the main conference hall where michael gove is speaking. he will be taking part any panel discussion after this with this with jacob rees mogg and stephen barclay he is talking a bit about the implementation of his plans. the panel will be chaired by the telegraph journalist. panel will be chaired by the telegraphjournalistlj panel will be chaired by the telegraph journalist. i do not deny that a without a deal will mean that, initially, there are some

challenges. the eu plans to impose
