not up to borisjohnson, is not up to the tories.e and eventually the eu has to decide what happens. it is as if this man thinks it is all up to him. what would be better is if all of these people who profess to love the country so much and talk about putting lead into the pencil, actually sit down with pencils and sketched out a way forward for the united kingdom, a post—brexit world. instead of doing that, they are all factional icing and fighting each other. labour isn't setting it out either, is it? they had a better conference, a much more integrated co nfe re nce conference, a much more integrated conference than i thought they would have a. the one point i think theresa may is very right to focus on is that boris never understood the department he was running. he is just a shame and a. is paid no attention to the border issue in northern ireland. —— showman. he said it doesn't matter, more or less. but again, no one has. i am going to ask you to set boris beside for a second, if you can. let's move on to the guardian because i

borisjohnson., more than a thousand, many who hate theresa may's so—called chequers compromise, too. thank you, everybody. sit down. what the chequers proposals show is that the united kingdom, for all its power and might, and network of influences around the world, for all its venerable parliamentary history, was unable ultimately to take back control. do not believe that we can somehow get it wrong now. budget now, and fix it later. get out properly. that is a total fantasy. if we bottle brexit now, believe me, the people of this country will find it hard to forgive. there is time. this is the moment to chuck chequers. applause. the stage was his, notjust on brexit, his spotlight alone. except, of course, borisjohnson is not the leader, not the prime minister. today, at least, she is competing in his shadow. did you watch borisjohnson's speech this afternoon? no, this afternoon i had been meeting activists, i have been talking to people about the conference and i have been seeing a party that is

what it is fair to say you‘re a supporter of borisjohnson. what did you make of borisjohnson.talking about housing, people owning their own home. i thought it was fantastic. when it comes to the deal that theresa may is trying to get, borisjohnson is saying it is time to chuck chequers. members are very concerned about the option of no deal. and there are ministers here saying, no, we have to give theresa may this space to get that deal done and that is what borisjohnson should be doing. get that deal done and that is what boris johnson should be doing. as he touched on in his speech, people are frustrated and want the prime minister to get on with the job. but the prime minister has had two years to do that. we all got behind her lancaster house speech, but chequers is not that. boris is in tune with the brexiteers across the country. she must chuck chequers, i agree. she must chuck chequers, i agree. she is sticking with something that only 10% of the public support. our party members don‘t support it. the eu is already saying they are rejecting it, and even the opposition w

david davis is staring it up, hoping that borisjohnson will step aside.in the sunday times comes from johnny mercer, who was quoted as saying he couldn't vote conservative and wasn't standing as an mp again, so not really sure what relevance he has. so they are saying assassination is in the air. i am asking about boris johnson, assassination is in the air. i am asking about borisjohnson, but he is on our next page. where does he fit in? he fits in as being the next prime minister, that is how he would like to fit into it all. what he is staying in the sunday express is that the whole thing is a stitch up —— sunday express. he used the term brino rather than brexit, which is brexit in name only. you finally get down to the former home secretary, amber road, and nick bowles, who suggest a norway option where we stay in the single market, we have free movement and we pay money to europe. that is a no—go with the brexiteers, but at the moment people are trying to line up and see, if theresa may goes, which is a big if, who can succeed her? what is interestin

ifelt that was classic borisjohnson.ing at his core supporters. they love it but outside of this conference, is it going to have any reach, any impact? inside of this conference, are people going to suddenly thing, we have got to get shot of theresa may and we have got to dump chequers? there are people who do think that. will that speech suddenly increase their numbers hugely? again, i'm not sure. very interesting. norman smith in birmingham. there will be more from the conservative party conference throughout the afternoon, of course. more analysis of that and everything else. theresa may today talking about immigration. much more from birmingham to come. right now, let's take a look at a few other this afternoon. a growing number of patients with learning district —— disabilities are being physically restrained in hospital units. there's been a 50 percent increase in the past two years in england and a former social care minister who introduced guidelines to reduce the use of restraint says it's ‘shameful‘. 0ur corres

john, what is your take on borisjohnson?r take on boris johnson? it is minister. john, what is your take on borisjohnson? it is interesting he has used that phrase, don't ape corbyn, isn't it? yes, ithink has used that phrase, don't ape corbyn, isn't it? yes, i think the conservatives have been a little bit spooked by the labour conference last week, where the policies that he put forward were not business friendly at all, but they were quite populist and it went down quite well. let's not forget the labour party over the summer had a terrible time over the accusations, founded, in my opinion, over anti—semitism. but it seemed that there was a little bit of socialist, marxist unity in force last week when no one stuck their heads above the parapet too much, at least. and i think with the chancellor that this is a kind of shot across the boughs of philip hammond. he has to look down the sofa and find £20 billion to pay for the nhs, because if you remember earlier this year this huge nhs crisis over looking after patients, and

and what was under and given the threat from borisjohnson...id speech on tuesday and that overshadowing things. how do you follow boris's speech —— big speech. how do you do it? with a bit ofa speech. how do you do it? with a bit of a dance. let's show you the dons moves to abba that she showed that dance moves. —— dance it all follows, kate, hertrip it all follows, kate, her trip to africa and she danced a couple of times, didn't she? it is kind of self—deprecating, people quite like people who poke fun at themselves. she danced on this trip to africa, it was a really cringed moment for all of us watching, then she did it again and she's done it for a third time —— cringe. we know she's got a good sense of humour, she is self—deprecating and she's able to have a little bit of light and humour, which i think, considering how difficult and torrid politics has been, especially for the conservative party, while they're trying to work out brexit, i think there's no harm in it. is it rebranding? in the election campaign she was criticised for being

today was all about borisjohnson reminding interesting. boris johnson reminding the interesting. today was all about borisjohnson reminding the glass roots, i'm here if you need me. borisjohnson reminding the glass roots, i'm here if you need mem certainly was. for all his detractors, he does energise the grass roots brexit supporters. this is the queue outside the fringe events today. look at that, queueing up events today. look at that, queueing up in their hundreds. they had to open an upper tier to get all the people in. compare that to the main hallway sajid javed was the going around the same time, he was setting out his new plan unveiled today, for future immigration policies. you can see polite applause there, go wide, and look, there are huge spaces that are unveiled. it's a big day for theresa may, and we all remember the speech last year, the calf, the velcro sign falling off the back, she can't afford anything like that tomorrow, particularly since she has been booed by delegates who want to drop this chequers plan. tomorrow ha

in the case of borisjohnson, i think you have got to look at what happened in the room on tuesday. was an enormous amount of interest in his speech. he did fill with over a thousand people supporting him not only that you need to look at who was in the room and i think there were as many as 20 mps, which given the prime minister's opposition in parliament is quite a crucial number in terms of getting her policies through. so it is the consideration. and in the end, he is a very, very popularfigure. the big set piece interviews with leaders at conferences, have they become too confrontational? i think politics has always been confrontational and you look back at the decades of bbc‘s coverage and over the different types of personalities whether it is bbc broadcasters or indeed politicians. i do not think it is really that different. i really think we're in extraordinary times and i think from perspective you can feel that from behind—the—scenes. certainly during the referendum, certainly through the 2015 election and obviously the 2017 election. these are very high stakes and we're

announcer: borisjohnson.called chequers compromise too. thank you. thank you, everybody, come on, sit down. what the chequers proposals show is that the united kingdom, for all its power and might, and network of influences around the world, for all its venerable parliamentary history, was unable ultimately to take back control. do not believe that we can somehow get it wrong now. bodge it now and fix it later. get out properly... that is a total fantasy! applause if we bottle brexit now, believe me, the people of this country will find it hard to forgive. there is time. this is the moment to chuck chequers. cheering and applause the stage was his, notjust on brexit, his spotlight alone. except, of course, borisjohnson is not the leader, not the prime minister. today, at least, she's competing in his shadow. did you watch borisjohnson‘s speech this afternoon? no, this afternoon i've been meeting activists, i've been talking to people about the conference, and i've been seeing a party that is in really good he

tonight he put on a good show 7 but does borisjohnson s intervention at the conservative party conferenceything for his party? we ll ask the government, and jacob rees mogg. join me and evan davis for newsnight now on bbc2. here on bbc one time for the news where you are.. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm sarah mulkerrins. more boos at full—time for mourinho‘s man united — they slump to a dreary goalless draw in the champions league there's better news for the team across town though — a late goalfrom david silva helps manchester city come from behind in hoffenheim. and we'll take a look inside a centre designed for those seriously injured playing sport as the matt hampson foundation officially opens. hello and welcome to sportsday. well after their opening round loss, manchester city bounced back with a 2—1 win away at hoffenehim. they did leave it late though, david silva with the winner three minutes from time. it was hoffenheim's first home appearance in the group stages of the competition. ben croucher watched the action for us. as manchester city striker win the champions league

where does borisjohnson fit to the next christmas.t into to the next christmas. where does borisjohnson fit into all of this? good question. as the papers go on, they're talking about asking boris johnson to stand aside, which would give david davis a clear run at the leadership should there be a bit —— leadership should there be a bit —— leadership contest. this is the man who spectacularly failed to win the war he leadership before and who also walked away from the job he was given to do, which was to negotiate brexit. we wonder if he is in for the long—term outlook and boris johnson standing outside for anybody, i think that is about as likely as a second referendum. the story is also being covered on the front of the mail on sunday. i had a quick look at the last time that theresa may sat in front of the 1922 committee, and it wasjune of last year. so, just after the election. i think at the time she promised she had got everybody in the mess and she would get them out. that is right. on wednesday the problem is the question the p

yourformer boss, the foreign secretary borisjohnson, he says chequers is akin to a suicide vest beingn. your response to that was, "it is one of the most disgusting things i've heard in modern politics," you said, "this is the end of borisjohnson, if it isn't now, i will make sure it is later." i put it to you if you and people like borisjohnson, whom you used to work for, are at war with each other even before this chequers deal is put back on the table before parliament as the final deal with europe, your party is finished. no. the conservative party is always bigger than the event it has to cope with. in the case of boris, he is as much a journalist as he is a politician so he uses this florid language and what was happening is he wanted to go to the party conference in october with a wish to undermine the prime minister. you expressed an explicit desire to finish him off. you can fire a bit of boris back at boris in order to try to just get him to back off ahead of the party conference. in the end, actually, that is what happened and i think that the prime minister will be able to

we will bring you live coverage of borisjohnson ‘s speech at1pm on coverage of borisjohnson ‘s speechster response agency says that the death—toll could still rise significantly as many people may still be trapped under the rubble of buildings. the uk government is sending two million pounds to help with the relief effort. jenny kumah reports. homes and lives destroyed in palu. the survivors are facing their fifth day without power and water. around 48,000 people have nowhere to live. but, amid the despair, there is hope. after days under the rubble, rescuers managed to release this man from his concrete tomb. the authorities have confirmed there was a fault with the tsunami detection system. a warning was sent out, but it appears to have underestimated the scale of the waves, and many didn't get the alerts because of power cuts. when the flooding hit, this mother picked up her two children and ran. translation: we were running for our lives, the waves chasing us. it's like a bad dream. when is help going to arrive? when will the government pay attention to us? rescuers face a massive

i want to start on borisjohnson. is hea i want to start on borisjohnson. is he a busted flush? entertainment and we saw that yesterday but what people are looking for from this conference is leadership on the challenges that we are facing and that is notjust brexit, that's also about the challenges people face in their daily lives and that the country will need to address post—brexit. that's what the real agenda is here. that's what the real agenda is here. that is what has been lacking at this conference. we have not had a clear sense of an alternative domestic agenda. the announcement have been small about the festival of written and new guidelines for social media. where is the alternative domestic agenda? the festival will be big. it's important we demonstrate to the rest of the world we a re we demonstrate to the rest of the world we are self—confident, that as we leave the brexit process we have a lot to offer. what people are after is not a flashy announcement that disappears in a puff of smoke, what they are looking for is real progress on the things that matter to them

theresa may borisjohnson? origin of the theresa may. boris johnson. may borisjohnson?t right. none of the above! who do you wa nt to right. none of the above! who do you want to leave the country? anyone but those two. anyone? matilla almost anyone, perhaps not nick clegg, but you know... nick clegg? perhaps not in but anyone but those two. why are you still supporting theresa may? i think it is quite clear that she is a grown—up who is doing what is best for britain, which is in short supply in politics right now. she is really working on a deal that works, notjust for the 5296 a deal that works, notjust for the 52% that voted leave but the 48% that voted to remain because i think the government needs to find a copper mines that works for everyone in the country. i think actually, most voters now have a lot of respect for her, after showing the resilience she has shown that it lasted, taking punches from all sides, from her own faction, labour and the eu and still ploughing ahead. you will do well in the conservative party with that kind of answer! you are not a conse

with boris johnson at the on this story, you were working with borisjohnson at the time and —— it was big player in the mini cabbage tree saying they could have self driving cabs on the streets by 2021. you are smiling. is that feasible? you asked me a few minutes ago that do i think it would happen in three years? the answer is, yes i think it will be will. there will be cars, we head —— we hear the words autopilot, we have vehicles that can drive themselves, fly themselves and the technology is there. the convergence between the internet of things, the ability to use data and connectivity, which allows us to move around, means that cars will be able to work out what they are doing. will they be in mass usage in three years times, probably not quite there yet. but we are well on the way to getting there. i remember this firm, they have been quite progressive, but it is bringing their technology that is available, to do it. when i recently drove a car, my wife's new car, ifound it was pretty much driving itself and i was pretty much driving itself and i was redundant anyway. thank you

huge crowds as borisjohnson addresses the conference, he called theresa may's brexit plan a ‘constitutionalutrage‘ there is time, this is the moment to check trekkers. we'll have the latest from the conference in birmingham, and we'll be talking to conservative chairman — brandon lewis, later in the programme. the other main stories on bbc news at 5. rescue workers in indonesia reach some of the worst affected areas after an earthquake and tsunami left more than tweleve hundred people dead and tens of thousands needing urgent help. all couples in england and wales will be able to enter into a civil partnership — as the government agrees to change the law following pressure from hetrosexual campaigners. cristiano ronaldo faces an investigation by police in las vegas after a woman alleges the footballer sexually assaulted her. he denies the claims. and too many blue plaques? the chairman of the group behind them thinks so, and says the links can be tenuous. it's 5 o'clock. our main story is the prime minister's claim, that new rules she's set out today mean that after brexit the uk will have

in a bbc interview, theresa may said she was cross with borisjohnson, in particular over what she calledhe british government's guarantee to people in northern ireland. there are one or two things that boris said that i am cross about. he wanted to tear up our guarantee to the people of northern ireland. northern ireland is part of the united kingdom. you know, we are all, he and i, all members here, are members of the conservative and unionist party. that's because we believe in the union of the united kingdom. northern ireland is part of that union, and we have a guarantee for the people of northern ireland, and we are upholding that. 0ur chequers plan does that. it's the only plan on the table at the moment that does. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: from laser pioneer to nobel prize winner, we meet the woman setting new standards in science. in all russia's turmoil, it has never come to this. president yeltsin said the day would decide the nation's destiny. the nightmare that so many people had feared for so long is playing out its final act here. russians are killing russian

she lost her voice, was handed a p4p5 where she lost her voice, was handed a paps on behalf of borisjohnson fell apart. it couldn't have drawn much worse this year but it certainly has been better, it has been better received by the press and her supporters. she has shored up and her supporters. she has shored up it seems, support within the conservative party to continue leading this government, despite boris johnson's fringe events. leading this government, despite boris johnson's fringe eventsm was and how long speech, i listen to it on the radio but i didn't see her dancing live, i have watched it since. many were saying afterwards it was as good as it could have borne with her in terms of her rallying her party trying to deliver a speech after borisjohnson. —— gone with her. had promised to an end to posterity, if we do get a brexit deal, i.e., let's all work together here, let's all be united and then we can move on and have that brexit dividend. the news plain to her brexit supporters and also centrist voters who may be alienated by the far left ofjeremy corbyn‘s labour party was, if

and the political strategist, jo tanner, who worked for borisjohnson and david cameron. tomorrow's front pages are already in, and unsurprisingly the state of brexit negotiations features large. after getting hold of leaked emails, the observer says dup leader arlene foster is "ready" to trigger a no—deal brexit and now regards this as the "likeliest outcome". the sunday times splashes on a call from former brexit secretary david davis for the cabinet to rise up against theresa may's brexit plans, unless she changes course. the sunday telegraph also leads on trouble for the prime minister as the paper reports 63 tory eurosceptics have issued a major new challenge to her authority. and the sunday express reports quotes from leading brexiteerjacob rees—mogg who urges the pm to stand up to eu "bullies". away from brexit — "plane mutiny keeps rapist in uk" — says the headline of the mail on sunday. the paper reports officials were forced to abandon the deportation of somalian yaqub ahmed. and finally, the sunday mirror leads with a warning from strictly come dancing's neiljo

borisjohnson giving support to theresa may's plan.ohnson will stand giving support to theresa may's plan. borisjohnson will stand up and criticise it, but there are other people, like justin greening —— just the net greening, criticising the proposal, saying it is appalling. there was a lack of support for theresa may and her plan, notjust support for theresa may and her plan, not just on support for theresa may and her plan, notjust on the backstop, but oi'i plan, notjust on the backstop, but on the chequers deal in general. the key thing with the backstop is that theresa may says she expects this backstop to be ended by the end of 2021. she won't put the actual date m, 2021. she won't put the actual date in, she says it is not hard and fast. they need to find a form of words so that if the eu say, move away from the table and stop the trade deals, at the backstop itself can be taken out and the uk can move away from it. until she gets that, without a date, a lot of tories want back. a lot of her mps would agree with that. britain do

borisjohnson has savaged theresa may's brexit plans, describing them as a constitutional outrage.ign secretary said the chequers proposals would cheat voters and leave the uk humiliated. he was speaking at the conservative party conference in birmingham. this is the moment to chuck chequers. applause. to scrap the commission's constitutionally—abominable northern ireland backstop... applause. to use the otherwise redundant and miserable implementation period to the end of 2020 to negotiate the super canada fta, free—trade agreement. to invest in all of the customs procedures that we will need to ensure continued frictionless trade, and to prepare much more vigorously than hitherto on coming out on wto terms. in a bbc interview, theresa may said she was cross with borisjohnson, in particular over what she called his desire to tear up the british government's guarantee to people in northern ireland. there are one or two things that boris has said that i am cross about. he wanted to tear up our guarantee to the people of northern ireland. northern ireland is part of the united kingdo

, and boris johnson has the uk staying in the customs union, and borisjohnson has been very critical,he position that after 2020 the uk can leave the customs union if the uk gives permission, they will have no incentive to do so and it makes a mockery of liam fox as out it makes a mockery of liam fox as our trade secretary not knowing if he will ever be able to do trade deals, they will be able to come into effect. the dup and tory brexiteers will not support this, and this will cause uproar among leave voters in this country. just on the issue of the dup, theresa may has frequently said that she is not going to agree to anything that would divide up the united kingdom. the problem with theresa may over the last couple of years, on brexit in particular, is that she has said about 300 different things, most of which are mutually incompatible. the problem is the word is not very reliable. she said for example that we would leave the customs union. now, iam perfectly we would leave the customs union. now, i am perfectly happy if we stay. i think it is the right thing for our economy, for

just a final word on borisjohnson.olleagues on the backbenches. is he a future prime minister? borisjohnson has a huge wealth of qualities and all i have been saying is that i think the time for sneering at people who clearly have a power and a talent, i don't think it is wise if we are going to keep ahead of the current changes in the political system. and that applies as much to borisjohnson as it does to jeremy corbyn and to donald trump. personally, i feel that people who look at us and pay our wages and vote for us, they deserve better than some of the unprofessional behaviour that i have seen going on. it is very easy to stick the boot in when somebody is down. my loyalty lies only to the party and to the people who vote for us. and sometimes i think it is worth saying things that you think are in everybody's best interest. whether they are popular or not, i'm afraid. johnny mercer, we are always grateful for your time. thank you. as you said, plenty of positive reviews for theresa may today. but the warm up act

there are those like borisjohnson chequers plan.kind of going around in circles. it isa kind of going around in circles. it is a bit like a modern version of the magic roundabout, round and round we go, there are no new arguments and no new thoughts. everyone is just arguments and no new thoughts. everyone isjust going round and round, saying the same thing. i think that this conference is probably not going to resolve anything. it is a bit like when you get asked to spend the weekend with friends you would rather not spend a weekend with and you just say to your better half, look, let's try to get through this and that is what this conference is like, mrs may just wants to get through it without too many blows to the head, as it were, to get to the end of the week with the party to be just about still in one piece. norman, thank you very much. a short while ago, i spoke to the former education secretaryjustine greening. she resigned from the government injanuary and supports another referendum on the brexit deal. i began by asking

i mean, that is an extraordinary statement for borisjohnson to make. for all its flaws, works on the basis that around the table — remember, i come from a member state. we do have argy bargies. but we respect each other‘s position. we know that we have to compromise and move forward. what i would like to see from those of the borisjohnson team, and i am not sure of the full numbers. you would have the facts on that. what do they propose other than walk away? when you walk away, nothing is achieved. it might satisfy that innate "give someone a kick" but it doesn't solve problems for british business, for supply chains or the food industry. we will get to that in a moment. if i may, just to continue the thought about boris johnson's passion, as it was expressed in that very recent newspaper column, what he is getting at is that, for his party, which after all is called the conservative and unionist party, there is something fundamental at stake, which is ensuring the continued unity of the united kingdom. and they look at what comes out of your own count

in the case of borisjohnson, i think you have got to look at what happened in the room on tuesday.orting him not only that you need to look at who was in the room and i think there were as many as 20 mp5, which given the prime minister's opposition in parliament is quite a crucial number in terms of getting her policies through. so it is the consideration. and in the end, he is a very, very popularfigure. the big set piece interviews with leaders at conferences, have they become too confrontational? i think politics has always been confrontational and you look back at the decades of bbc‘s coverage and over the different types of personalities whether it is bbc broadcasters or indeed politicians. i do not think it is really that different. i really think we're in extraordinary times and i think from perspective you can feel that from behind—the—scenes. certainly during the referendum, certainly through the 2015 election and obviously the 2017 election. these are very high stakes and we're not living in times with large majorities for parties and that always makes both the parties mu

brexit is the inevitable backdrop and borisjohnson has stuck his neck in againjust before curtain up.ke time to discuss labour as well first of all. the conference that has been and gone. we might have renationalised railways in the uk. some of us are old enough to remember. which, i think renationalisation, deep investment in public services, more power to the unions and so forth and so on. investment. the problem is, how do you finance that? that is the weakness of the labour plan which on paper is really good for the future of this country but how do you finance it? if you stop austerity, you have to increase tax. the poor won't pay tax, the rich won't pay tax, it will be on the middle—class and i think that is what labour is doing, you cannot win an election without the middle—class, by taxing them. labour will say those plans are there, in the manifesto. british public opinion wants a cost. it is finished the time when you spend, spend, spend, like in 1983. you know what happened to michael foot, he went to a resounding defeat. the financing is not there. he didn'tjust say he wou

what about what borisjohnson things he said.at the moment as the government, faced with the really difficult, complex challenge of negotiating a new agreement with the european union 27, is the everybody to be thinking of the national interest first. and that i think is what i find when i knock on doors people admire about theresa may. whether they are tories or whether they are not, you know, they actually know that there is a woman here who put the country's interest first and is working really hard every hour she gets. let's talk about the chequers deal, because she has been absolutely clear that there is no deviation from the chequers deal. what is itjust doesn't get through parliament? what then? well, i think that assuming we get a good dealfor the uk i think that assuming we get a good deal for the uk at the end of negotiations, as i am hopeful we will, then i think we have a new political dynamic at work, because we would then have an agreed withdrawal treaty and a political declaration on the future partnership we are a

we had the labour party conference, borisjohnson weeks?ay today, the chaos. if we go back to talking about the currency market in particular, clearly it's always influenced by these comments and by the ongoing maelstrom of political dynamics. when we had borisjohnson yesterday saying he wasn't going to be effectively challenging for leadership or supporting theresa may at least in the current phase of negotiations, we saw a bit of a leap in stirling. the market thought there isn't going to be a leadership challenge and that's not going to amplify political risks. talking to investors, and i was talking to investors, and i was talking to investors in canada last week, there isa investors in canada last week, there is a need to try and understand the potential risk dynamics and trying to understand the path ahead. that path ahead is very unclear, so that makes it difficult for business decision—making. you talked about that natural gas prices in canada. but coming up after some resolution in terms of trade negotiations. that underlines how b

if theresa may goes, do we get borisjohnson, and there are no fans of boris johnson, who will be muchver the one thing that doesn't get reported, the eu have skin in the game with these negotiations, thousands of businesses are financed out of london and they need a deal. we've been far more defensive, we need to push back and that's why we're going to get a deal. the 11th hour is the way the eu in ago shed but we need to be confident and keep our poker face up. if may goes, what's the likelihood of that —— the way the eu negotiate. there's a reason, one of the reasons why boris johnson negotiate. there's a reason, one of the reasons why borisjohnson hasn't wielded the knife, he doesn't want to take over because he's not got a plausible alternative to what's going on. so often in politics it's about the maths and it's about the calendar, and it's impossible to get rid of that before we leave the european union, assuming we're going to, because unless the tory party can agree on one candidate to be swept into power to replace him, there would need to be a leadership election and there

this was borisjohnson's day. another opportunity to lambast the prime ministers brexit plan. proposal for leaving the eu is an "outrage" that will reduce britain to being "locked in the tractor beam of brussels". this is the moment to check chequers. the one thing we all know was that he will put on a good show. what we are doing here at conference, and what

he is about your former foreign secretary borisjohnson? he is going to speak ata borisjohnson?'m focusing... at this conference what we are focusing on is the opportunity for this country when we leave the eu and the opportunity that we want to ensure that people in this country have. so the opportunity for young people to get a home of their own. and through the work we are doing to ensure more homes are being built. the opportunity for young people to have the skills they need for the jobs of the skills they need for the jobs of the future through the changes in technical education. the opportunity for new, highly skilled, higher paid jobs to be created in this country. establishing the economy of the future. that's what this conference is about and that's what we are focusing on and i am also ensuring that we are doing the work to get a good dealfor europe. that we are doing the work to get a good deal for europe.” that we are doing the work to get a good deal for europe. i understand where you are coming from on that, to go back to borisjohnson, how do you deal with him? he

in the case of borisjohnson he is as much a journalist as he is a politician so he uses these four floriderence in october with a wish to undermine the prime minister. you express and its plisson desire to finish him. —— and explicit desire. you can fire a bit of boris back at boris in order to try to just get him to back off ahead of the party conference. in the end actually that is what happened and think that the prime minister will be able to deliver this. i think talk by people challenging her are much exaggerated. a final thought, if you are wrong, if parliament rejects the deal that theresa may brings back, for you, what's the best option then,is for you, what's the best option then, is it a change of leader in then, is it a change of leader in the tory party, and a different kind of deal, is it a general election, or is ita of deal, is it a general election, or is it a people's so—called vote, another referendum on britain's relationship with europe, including the possibility we actually stay in after all? well, i think, you know, to people's vote you need an act of parliament to

in terms of empathy, i get empathy are great deal, but when you say to me that borisjohnson, who dealn, who is deal, but when you say to me that borisjohnson, who is from a very large member state, and this is what has troubled me about brexit from the get go. i am from a small country. we know our size and influence. i am surprised the uk that for all of its size and greatness is so, if you like, under threat that it feels europe is pushing it about. i mean, that is an extraordinary statement for boris johnson to make. the european union, for all its flaws, works on the basis that around the table — remember, i come from a member state. we have argy bargy. but we respect each other‘s position. we know that we have to compromise and move forward. what i would like to see from those of the boris johnson team, andi see from those of the boris johnson team, and i am not sure of the full numbers. you would have the facts on that. what do they propose other than walk away? when you walk away, nothing is achieved. it might satisfy that innate "give someone a kick" but it doesn't solve probl

and — at a packed event borisjohnson makes a blunt attack on theresa may's brexit plan describing it. this was the alleged target a rally of an iranian opposition movement held in the city injune — some prominent figures from the united states also attended, including former new york mayor rudi giuliani. today three french government ministers, the foreign, interior and economy, made a rare joint statement accusing iran's intelligence ministry of being behind it. the plot was foiled after a joint european operation. belgium two pepole of iranian origin were arrested. these pictures show a bomb disposal robot searching a car they were travelling in, police found explosives and suspected them of being en route to the rally. at the same time near the city of frankfurt in germany, an iranian diplomat was also arrested. today france seized the assets of the individuals they accuse of being involved. hugh schofield has been following the story. the french have always suspected there was an iranian government handed all this and now they have said publicly that that is what they believe in.

i have to say we look to the other papers is theresa may earlier today, they're also treating borisjohnsone a spoiled child of an aristocrat. and they are nannies. and have to put up with the snottiness. they should stop it actually. they should name and shame and slap him. i don't mean physically. he has gotten away with people not trading him seriously and for some reason the british people seem for some reason the british people seem to have an affection for him. they like the buffoonery and shambling sides. people should call him out. he's a very dangerous man. it's fair to say he won't be on either of your christmas card lists. let's move onto the telegraph. cabinet demands may set the date to quit. she faces threats everywhere. what can she do? i think all she can do is hang on. the story tells you thatis do is hang on. the story tells you that is no agreement in the cabinet and some of them want her to quit as soofi as and some of them want her to quit as soon as break happens is something she should move onto the election probably to carry of the blame. no one quite knows in the co

former foreign secretary boris johnson, what the dup sees it as, and former foreign secretary borisjohnsonh said that that is not what should happen, especially the dup has been saying they don't want the uk to be divided, so to say, and they don't what also be uk to stay in the customs union. i guess, in the end, it is an attempt to solve this situation and the impasse that mrs may mentioned at the salzburg summita mrs may mentioned at the salzburg summit a couple of weeks ago, a head ofa summit a couple of weeks ago, a head of a crucial summit next week. 17th of a crucial summit next week. 17th of october, where the eu is a critical summit, they want their ducks in a row. they want to reach some sort of agreement at that point stop you it is one summit next week and another in november. there is a lwa ys and another in november. there is always another one. this is not really approaching the end, where the uk needs to come to some sort of agreement with the european union over how it wants to leave the european union in march, otherwise there will be not enough time to ratify the agreeme

borisjohnson worries that it isa that.tes of meetings. she thinks that theresa may understands the redlines, but she would not confirm that her mps would vote because the budget. it may be a bit of a hollow threat. for the moment, thank you very much indeed for the three latest. let's get the latest weather now. while we have stormy weather elsewhere around the world, it continues to be dry and bright and warm in the uk, unusually warm for the time of year. through the evening and overnight, there will be some changes. it stays warm but we will pick up some showers. many areas have some rain as we go through the night, with temperatures dipping away very little. more rain waiting in the wings for thursday. we see a dry spell for several hours with someone and sunshine, but there will be a period of two or three hours of fairly heavy rain moving through. again, it brightens and drives behind. it will still be quite warm in the south—east, and elsewhere between the two weather systems. that is the precursor to what is coming
