this is bbc news. the headlines: borisjohnson boris johnson told borisjohnson told his cabinet 3 borisjohnson told his cabinet a " b rex it" borisjohnson told his cabinet a "brexit" deal is on the horizon but there is still significant work to do to get there. as the party conference gets under way in aberdeen, the snp calls on other opposition parties at westminster to pull together to defeat the conservatives. every day that labour mps fight with themselves and run scared from a general election is another day that we are suffering from the tories being in power! the family of harry dunn, who died in a collision with an american woman who then fled to the us, are flying there now, hoping for a meeting. hundreds are reported to have escaped from a camp in northern syria, holding family members

of islamic state fighters as an offensive by turkey continues. scotland have been knocked out of the rugby world cup. they were beaten 28—21 byjapan, who are through to the quarter—finals for the first time. and coming up in half an hour, david sillito reports on the shortlisted buildings, including the winner, for the 2019 riba stirling prize, one of the most prestigious awards in architecture. borisjohnson has told his cabinet in order borisjohnson has told his cabinet there is still a "significant amount

of work" to be done in order to reach a brexit deal with the eu, and ministers must remain prepared to leave at the end of october. negotiations have resumed between british and european union officials in brussels. eu ambassadors will be given details by the chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier, this evening. our political correspondent peter saull reports. it's been a while since we last saw this in westminster — the pomp and ceremony of the queen's speech. it will be showtime in parliament tomorrow. the real action, though, is in brussels. and until there is a brexit breakthrough, these uk officials are sworn to secrecy. ministers know that further compromises may be needed. i trust borisjohnson to ensure the relationship the uk has with the european union is one where we are not a vassal state. and that is the point that we are leading towards in all these discussions. it's a blockbuster week for brexit. tomorrow, there is the queen's speech, on thursday and friday, a crucial eu summit, and then an extraordinary sitting of parliament — the first on a saturday in more than three decades.

even if there is a deal to vote on, it's unlikely to please labour. the problem areas are of regulation and deregulation, which come from whatever trade arrangement there is with europe and the wider world. but also, perhaps very seriously, is the irish border issue. westminster‘s third—largest party is also gearing up for a fight. the snp has a clear stop brexit message, and the leader doesn't mind how it's done. this brexit fiasco is in such a mess, the implications on the consequences are so potentially damaging, that i think any responsible leader wanting to do the right thing for the people they represent would keep all options open. back in london, preparations for the state opening of parliament are almost complete. who knows what they'll be getting ready for this time next week? peter saull, bbc news. a little earlier i spoke to our political correspondent nick eardley, who said downing street was still preparing for britain

to leave the eu without a deal. i think this is a sign of how seriously these sides are taking the talks over the weekend. usually things are linked, now they have not been. the clear caution coming from borisjohnson, a been. the clear caution coming from boris johnson, a call to been. the clear caution coming from borisjohnson, a call to his cabinet, to update on progress, yes, the pathway to a deal that mr johnson talked about late last week is there. but there is still significant work to do and because of that, he is telling his ministers, don't stop preparing to leave. don't stop preparing to leave at the end of the month without a deal. does that mean no deal will happen? absolutely not. there is still some optimism in number ten that things

have moved over the last few days. there is also the note of caution saying, don't get carried away, don't assume this is a done deal. i think it is still unclear whether these talks have got to a place where there is actually that room to get over the line. the next 48 hours or so could still be crucial for that. meanwhile, mps return to parliament tomorrow, the queen's —— meanwhile, mps return to parliament tomorrow, the queen's speech, the opposition parties trying to decide between themselves what they will do. we had this afternoon that the snp was calling for a vote of no confidence in boris johnson, what do you make of that? i suspect it will not happen in the next few days because the snp is not prepared to table that yet and if they did, it would not be their decision, it would be up to the government. it would only be if the labour party did it in the next few days but they seem to be waiting to the end of the week to see where

things are at with borisjohnson‘s deal before they get there. that "super saturday", as it has been titled, for reasons i'm not quite sure... it makes it sound like a sporting event! it does indeed! i think it will be a number of things for political reporters! —— it will be quite a marathon for reporters! there will be tension on what the party is back on that day. a lot of debate in the labour party about the idea, maybe, just maybe, someone can get on board with the borisjohnson deal if he gets one and if it is then put back to a referendum. i got to say, hard to say how you get to that place because conservatives aren't going to back that. jeremy corbyn is also very reluctant to do that, as are other opposition parties. in a strange way, the next few days are extraordinarily unclear. we know the rough sequencing, as you heard in the piece by peter. the queen's speech tomorrow, crucial couple of days of talks in brussels, european council thursday and friday, big votes in parliament on saturday. exactly what we will be voting on is not clear at the moment and we'll all be down to whether or not that massive gap between eu and uk can be bridged in the next 48 hours or so.

meanwhile, the snp says it has prepared a motion of no confidence in boris johnson. speaking at the start of the party's annual conference, ian blackford called on other opposition parties to act, and said the only way to end the "chaos" was to have a general election. the snp‘s leader at westminster told delegates in aberdeen that opposition parties need to step up in their attempts to remove boris johnson from office. we must take the power out of boris johnson's hands and put it back in the hands of the people. i can announce today that the snp have announced a motion of no in borisjohnson and his government. we will not give into his demands, after years of brexit chaos, the only option, the only option

that truly puts a stop to this chaos is to call a general election. applause so, conference, it is time forjeremy corbyn and jo swinson to step out of the sandpit and step up to the job. so, let's come together, let's back a vote of no confidence, let's get rid of borisjohnson, secure the extension, give the people back the power, and let's do that with a general election. this morning the first minister, nicola sturgeon, said she would request the consent of the uk government to hold another referendum on scottish independence before the end of the year. i'm putting legislation through the scottish parliament right now to put the rules and regulations in place, as recently as a few weeks ago i have said that as that legislation progresses we will make the request for the section 30 border, we see rising support for independence and... cani rising support for independence and... can i ask, would you be asking for that order this year? yes. next month? we will do it at

the appropriate moment when legislation is passing. it is coming soon. we don't yet know who is likely to be in downing street, the situation is very fluid. that is why i have taken the decision to do the preparations that are within our control right here and we are getting on with that. )0ur scotland political correspondent andrew kerr is at the snp conference and earlier he gave us this update. fantastic new building and platform for the snp as they call for this general election, i'mjoined for the snp as they call for this general election, i'm joined by scotland's brexit secretary, mike russell. thank you forjoining me. hello. thank you forjoining me. we stand on the edge of an incredible week in british politics,

what is the game plan of the snp for the next seven days? to make sure the people listen to, the people of scotland who did not vote for brexit, who want a general election, who want to show that in the majority they believe independence would be better for them, as opinion polls show today, then staying in the uk, people in scotland who are now on the cusp of voting on the cusp of voting for independence, 50% in a poll today. the people of scotland want change and they don't want boris johnson and they don't want brexit and that is a strong message to send out. before we get to any referendum, a general election is what ian blackford is calling for, when he is calling on the rebel alliance to get around that, backing the call for the motion of no confidence, why that? because you have a government without credibility and also without a majority, it has a minus majority, it is time the scotland of people had their say and the people of all these islands had their say about the brexit process. we know from all the opinion polling, there is not a single poll in the last year and a half that shows a majority for brexit. uk government is pursuing a policy that people do not want, that would be unbelievably particularly a no deal, and they should be stopped. it is the people that can stop that

by calling the election. ian blackford was very clear, labour and the liberals must support that or get out of the way, they cannot go on playing the games they are playing at the moment. what about the suggestion from some labour mps that a referendum on the eu deal might be a better option, than going for a general election? if at the end of this week there was no vote for a general election but a vote for a referendum, it would not be as good as a general election but it would be progress, people could have their say. what we are saying is a move away, johnson trying to railroad a deal through continuing as prime minister, that is utterly unacceptable. talking about railroading the deal, what if it was a deal that borisjohnson came back to parliament with on saturday, that the snp will not support any deal. if it appears to be from the reports today, it is a deal about which he resigned some weeks ago, he could not accept this deal, could not stay in theresa may's government because it was so awful. now bringing the same sort

of thing back, it is terrible is for scotland, a city like aberdeen needs freedom of movement to continue to grow and flourish. it will be a declining economy if any deal that boris johnson is proposing is imposed upon the city and upon scotland. we need to be very clear about that. not a question ofjust sighing and saying, let's get it over with. what is being proposed is bad for every single man, woman and child in scotland. the family of 19—year—old harry dunn, who was killed in a motorbike accident, are on their way to the united states in the hope of a meeting the woman involved in the crash. ann sacoolas, the wife of an intelligence officer, left for the us after the accident in northamptonshire. police say they're liaising closely with the foreign office. here's andy moore with the latest. on her way to the states, harry dunn's mother. she now has an apology from the woman who killed her son. but she said sorry just wasn't enough.

harry's father is on the same flight. the parents want to lobby politicians and raise the profile of their case in america. they also hope to meet anne sacoolas, who now has agreed to a meeting. in a statement, through her lawyers, she said... harry dunn was riding his motorbike when he was hit by mrs sacoolas, reportedly driving out of an american base on the wrong side of the road. she initially cooperated with the police investigation, before getting a flight to the us the next day under the protection of diplomatic immunity. this is an incredibly tragic case, and the foreign secretary has been working with his american cou nterpa rts and has been in touch with the us administration on this. the fact of the matter is right now, it very much seems that the lady in question wants to start cooperating with the discussions and obviously the investigations. and i think we should support that.

now that mrs sacoolas is back in the us, the government here has confirmed that diplomatic immunity no longer applies. well, everybody knew that all along. diplomatic immunity only applies when you are in the host country, in this case the uk. it never applies once you go back to your own country. and i think it was the threat of the dunns hauling her into court in america that has actually brought forth this suggested meeting. the family of harry dunn are hoping mrs sacoolas will return voluntarily to the uk to face justice. if not, she could face extradition. andy moore, bbc news. the headlines: borisjohnson has told his cabinet a brexit deal is on the horizon, but there's still a significant amount of work to get there — and they should remain prepared to leave without a deal on october 31st. the westminster leader

of the snp has said they have prepared a motion of no confidence in borisjohnson and his government. the family of a teenage motorcyclist, killed in a collision involving the wife of an american diplomat, in northamptonshire, are on their way to the united states. sport, and a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. starting in chicago, a new world record in the last few minutes. a new world record set in a women's marathon by kenya's brigid kosgei. 0ver marathon by kenya's brigid kosgei. over one minute has been knocked from the record set by paula radcliffe back in 2003 in london. paula radcliffe was on hand to congratulate brigid kosgei at the finish line. the men's marathon was won by kenya's lawrence cherono but it was a disappointing day for mo farah as he failed to defend his chicago title. for mo farah as he failed

after a difficult build up to the race, with questions about the integrity of his former coach alberto salazar, farah was way off the pace, finishing in eighth place. what a game it was but scotland have been knocked out of the rugby world cup. they lost am enthralling final pool game 28—21 to japan in yokohama. scotland crossed the line first through finn russell butjapan fought straight back, playing scinitillating rugby, scoring three tries before the break, this — their third from kenki fukouka. the hosts led 21—7 at half time. after the re—start fukouka went over again before the scots struck back with two tries of their own — zander fagerson finding a way through which meant scotlad then needed to score two more tries and a penalty... butjapan held on for a deserved victory and they will play south africa in the quarter—finals. earlier wales beat uruguay

by 35—13 to top pool d. it's the first time wales have won all of their group matches since 1987, but coach warren gatland admitted it wasn't the best performance. it is about creating momentum, and anything in the past, you look back, anything in the past, you look back, a performance that was not the prettiest and was not the prettiest tonight but we dug in, and i thought the bench was good, and quality came off the bench, and they added to that, and the scoreline probably reflected the difference of the two teams. simone biles has become the most succesful gymnast in world championship history. the 22—year—old american won her 24th world championship medal taking the gold on the beam in stuttgart. her victory on the vault yesterday meant she had equalled the record and biles made it 25 medals shortly after with her 18th gold after winning the floor event, finishing ahead of her compatriot sunisa lee

and angelina melikova of russia. and this has been an incredbily successful world championships for british gymnasts too. 20—year—old joe fraser producing a perfect routine to win the parallel bars event. it's his first world title and it's the first time great britain have ever won a world medal in this discipline it isa it is a dream come true, obviously, all i have ever wanted is to come on the world stage and show what i am capable of. today i really feel like i have done that. world champion, you cannot do that. valterri bottas won the japanese grand prix in suzuka to give mercedes a sixth straight constructor‘s title. bottas finished ahead of sebastien vettel and team—mate, lewis hamilton, who was third. bottas is now the only driver that could stop hamilton from winning a sixth driver's title. there are four races to go. liverpool and bristol city are both still searching for theirfirst win of the womens super league season

after the sides drew i—i this morning. manchester united comprehensively beat tottenham hotspur to record back to back wins. goals from kirsty hanson and jane ross came either side of an ashleigh neville own goal to seal the win. the score was 3—0. into the second half in that game between chelsea and the arsenal. that's all the sport for now. there's more on the bbc sport website including build up to scoatland adna wales's football euro2020 qualifiers later today. the kurdish authorities in northern syria say family members of islamic state fighters are among those who escaped from a camp for displaced people. the breakout happened as a turkish offensive targeted the area. the camp is now said to be unguarded.

the us president trump donald trump has been speaking about the withdrawal of us troops from north eastern syria and says it is "very smart not to be involved in the intense fighting along the turkish border, for a change." "those that mistakenly got us into the middle east wars are still pushing to fight." "they have no idea what a bad decision they have made. why are they not asking for a declaration of war?" mr trump also added: the former us defence secretary james mattis says donald trump's abrupt withdrawal of us troops from the syria—turkey border has increased the chances of a resurgence of islamic state. but the retired general passed up an opportunity to directly criticise the president. isis is not defeated, we have got to

keep the pressure on isis so they do not recover. me way want a war over, we may even declare it over. you can pull troops out, as barack 0bama learned the hard way, out of iraq, but the enemy gets the vote, as we say in the military, if we don't keep the pressure on, isis will research. it is absolutely a given that they will come back. —— resurge. chris buckler is in washington. we were just listening to the former defence secretary, the present defence secretary, the present defence secretary, the present defence secretary says there will be a further withdrawal of us forces, what is going on? bringing you up—to—date, the current defence secretary says the decision was made last night to withdraw hundreds of troops from northern syria, essentially, all of the us troops remaining in that part of the country. it is likely that some will

remain further south in a base there. essentially, they are getting out of this battlefield. that is partly because they say they are concerned that the troops could get caught in the middle of the fighting between the turks and the kurds. that is only going to increase the anger among those kurdish forces, who once fought alongside the us against islamic state, and they now feel they have been abandoned by an ally. donald trump is continuing to deny that he gave a green light to this invasion by kirk turkey bite positioning dozens of troops close to the border with turkey. but, now, of course, he is withdrawing troops completely, and it is expected that will happen over the next days or weeks, there are suggestions that the removal of troops has already begun. real concern about the direction of the president's policy, and also, real concern about the resurgence of islamic state. we heard it from james mattis. real

struggle to work out what the white house strategy is, at one stage, president trump, earlier this week, seems to be tweeting options that he had to deal with the situation. it is becoming increasingly volatile. amid the chaos and the conflict, the new strategy seems for the us to wa nt to new strategy seems for the us to want to get out of it. part of that is that frankly, things are changing as it goes along. the us defence secretary said that turkey is moving further south than they expected. now, they would probably argue that isa now, they would probably argue that is a breach of what they agreed with the united states initially. certainly, the us again saying it did not give a green light, it is nevertheless stepping away and allowing turkey to move further south. it seems that the kurdish led forces, the sdf are currently in discussions with russia and the regime of basher al—assad, to potentially try to counterattack against turkey. therefore, america

says, they are looking towards other allies. amid all of this, there are warnings that ultimately, there are members of is who have been held prisoner inside the country and it is clear there is a danger that they will escape. at the end of the week, we saw a car bomb in a syrian town. islamic state took responsibility for that, they say they carried out the attack and that will only fuel fears that the group could re—emerge and regroup in the midst of all this chaos occurring in syria. injapan, the death toll from super typhoon hagibis has risen to 26 with another 21 people missing. the huge storm has ripped across most of central and northern japan, last night dumping record quantities of rain. 0ur correspondent rupert wingfield hayes has travelled north of tokyo where rescue efforts are still underway. this is the town of chikuma in the japanese alps. much of it now enveloped by brown, dirty floodwater.

on saturday night, the levies burst, unable to withstand the onslaught from typhoon hagibis. all day, the military has been racing to pluck those stranded from roofs and balconies. it is a story that has been repeated over and over. this afternoon, we made it to kawagoe, an hour north of tokyo. here, too, the rivers have burst their banks. this behind me is an old people's home where 220 people were stranded last night when the flood waters came in here. you can see they are still taking people out 18 hours later. what's truly remarkable about this typhoon is its scale. there are floods and rescues like this going on in at least eight different prefectures right across the main island ofjapan. people we talked to are shocked and numb. translation: i have lived here 32 years. it is the first time i've seen anything like this.

i was shaking with fear last night. translation: i watched the live camera of the river and i could see it coming up and up, getting closer and closer to the top. i never thought something like this would happen in my neighbourhood. i was so surprised. japan is just starting to count the economic cost of this single storm. outside nagano city, a line of shiny bullet trains, swamped by the floodwaters. each one of these trains costs 29 million us dollars. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, in kawagoe, eastern japan. more now on the parents of 19—year—old harry dunn, who are on their way to the united states in the hope of meeting a diplomat‘s wife who was involved in the crash in which their son died. speaking this afternoon, harry's mother said she had high hopes after a letterfrom the foreign and commonwealth office

said the diplomat‘s wife no longer had diplomatic immunity. the letter from the fco was amazing, we feel like we have a breakthrough. we finally have confirmed that the immunity that we did not think she had has been confirmed. she does not have it, certainly since she absconded back to the usa. the statement from her lawyer... is promising, that we may be able to hopefully get a meeting put together. whether it is face—to—face or lawyer two lawyer, not really sure on that basis yet. fingers crossed, we are stepping on the right direction. the mother of harry dunn, on the way to the united states. suitably unsettled yet seasonal type of weekend with a mixture of some sunshine for some, especially so

across the northern parts of scotland. elsewhere, i'm sure, at some point in proceedings, you have had some rain. through the evening and overnight, central and southern parts of scotland, parts of northern ireland for a time and the north of england, seeing the rain before it quits the same. returning in the south—east and to the very far west of wales and the south—west of england. elsewhere, skies will clear, turning out to be a pretty good start to the new day. this rain, not quite sure how fast and how far north it is going to get. this one, more certain, affecting cornwall, getting into the west of wales and into northern ireland, heavy rain, before it gets across the north channel. western side of scotland. to the east, north of england, north west midlands, might end up with a half decent day, a high on the temperatures of only 15.
