ben wright, bbc news, at the conservative party conference, in birmingham. live from the conservative party conference in birmingham, tomorrow, at10am. a woman in the far east of russia has told the bbc she recognises one of the key suspects in the salisbury novichok attack as a decorated military officer. the bbc travelled across six time zones east of moscow to a village, to verify research carried out by the bellingcat investigative website, which this week published what it claims is the true identity of one of the suspects. while russia continues to deny any involvement in the poisoning, we went to beryozovka — the first television crew to visit the village. 0ur moscow correspondent, sarah rainsford, reports. in the far east of russia, along its border with china, we went searching for clues to the salisbury poisoning. thatjourney led to this tranquil village, almost 5000 miles from moscow. it's where a russian military intelligence officer, anatoliy chepiga, grew up. this week, the investigative team at bellingcat suggested that colonel chepiga, seen he

the other thing, i mean, is what happens at the conservative party conference. u've talked about, but at some point boris johnson will talk at the conference, if not on the main set then he will talk behind—the—scenes. if not on the main set then he will talk behind-the-scenes. he will talk on tuesday, the day before theresa may's big speech. i think you will see the brexiteers, priti patel, and the like, they will speak at fringe events leading up to boris's speech on tuesday. the crescendo to his big pitch, his big vision as to how he will do brexit and hugh hands over to theresa may, they will think she will have a coughing fit —— and he hands over. he will hope he will outperform. he was under more pressure last year after the election result, but last year there was goodwill from tory members for theresa may, she had suffered enough and she threw herself on their mercy. she was saying let me take you through brexit. now she's saying approved my plan, it is a different thing entirely. you would think they will secure the letters very firmly. you would think t

in a lengthy article published in daily telegraph just days before the conservative party conference,e deal with the european union which he claims wouldn't lead to a hard irish border. 0ur political correspondent leila nathoo is in westminster. and the timing of this article is no coincidence? no, this is not the first time since borisjohnson resigned from the cabinet over theresa may's brexit plans that he has used his newspaper column to launch an attack against her and her approach. but i think this lengthy restate m e nt approach. but i think this lengthy restatement of his case, using such scathing language, is really designed to pile the pressure on theresa may ahead of her party conference, to change her approach and to position himself as the person to lead the charge for what he sees as the writer brexit deal. so, he's putting forward a free—trade agreement along the lines of the one the eu has with canada, a looser arrangement than the prime minister's so—called chequers approach and this is borisjohnson really trying to rally the conservative grassroots behind his plan. re

let's talk about this in more detail the conservative party chairman brandon lewis who is in birmingham. good morning. conferencet must be difficult circumstances for the conservative party. i know you are saying you are delighted that you have more under 25s coming to the conference than ever before and with that in mind, you have designed a app for the conference to keep people up to date with what is happening and enabling them to send m essa 9 es happening and enabling them to send messages and relay information but yesterday, we heard the app went disastrously wrong and pertinent information belonging to many tory party members was available to anybody. what happened. —— what happened? we have had more young members commit numbers and we've run a botha the last years and we look to improve it but yesterday we found them are a small number of delegates, and we have contacted all the delegates that downloaded the app and we will download more delegates, with more members coming than ever before, well, for a few yea rs, to than ever before, well, for a few years, to outline exactly what happened, what happened

the conservatives' annual party conference will get under way in birmingham later, exactly six months from the european union. ahead of the conference sirjohn major has criticised conservative mps, who he claims routinely attack theresa may. he says those who "taunt" the prime minister over brexit, have no "coherent" plan of their own. theresa may is continuing to stress that her chequers plan is the only one on the table despite some of her own mps calling it a "dead duck". joining me now is our political correspondentjessica parker. but that may be dead but we haven't heard its last quack it seems. boris johnson has announced as canada spoil deal. what kind of pressure is the prime minister ended to accept what appears to be the inevitable, whatever emerges won't be in the chequers plan? theresa may has got a couple of problems. that is pressure on her that she has allied herself with the chequers deal. it'll be difficult for her to come out and say, actually, i got it wrong and we need an alternative. there are those people who think the idea of a canada spoil deal isn't realistic

the bottomline is that they do not want a crisis before the conservative party conference, which is comingparty conference, which is coming up in a couple of weeks. they realise that in she goes there could be something far worse. it might be very to negotiate with whoever follows theresa may. but again they are very clear. they believe strongly, the other eu 27, in the integrity of the single market. nothing must be done to compromise that no deal can be done with the united kingdom that says you can pick and choose in the single market. they are not moving from that position. there is nice talk. there is a bit of tactical helping of theresa may, but on the real substance it remains as it was. that is what my guest said in business briefing, when it comes to the free movement of people there is absolutely no compromise. in the end, the single market is the biggest single achievement that people see in their daily lives in the european union. the ability to sell wherever, the ability to move around. they don't want to do a deal, in effect, with britain that allows other countries to say we

as the first day of the conservative party conference draws to a close the guardian claims divisions nd that theresa may was left fighting to exert her authority. the i reports that leading conservatives launched an attack on borisjohnson after he labelled the prime minister's brexit plan, "deranged". in an interview with the daily mail the chancellor philip hammond has said mrjohnson is incapable of grownup politics and is ‘doomed' to fail in his bid to be the next pm. and the metro's headline...."just zip—it bojo". and in other news, the ft carries a photograph of rescuers saving a young girl trapped in her house following the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit the indonesian island of sulawesi. the death toll now stands at more than eight—hundred. and this photograph on the front of the daily telegraph captures the moment of europe's triumph at the ryder cup in france, the headline, europe united injoy. you can see what they are doing you can see what they are doing there. time for our chat. ruth and rachel. we gave a little hint of what is dominating. could it be the tory

surrounded by european leaders and people in her own party, just ten days or so away from the conservatives' annual bothering, their party conferenceuvre, that doesn't of course mean that somehow the whole thing is off, a bust up between the top brass in europe is not surprising in such a long process , not surprising in such a long process, but the timing of this is very embarrassing for the prime minister and the fact that time is running out means there's not very long and her officials and the rest of her ministers to find a solution will stop this is the biggest thing that she has to achieve as leader. she needs authority to drive it through but right now, tonight, it doesn't seem there is much authority around. laura kuenssberg and katya adler, thank you. an investigation by the office of rail and road into what caused weeks of chaos following an overhaul of train timetables in may has concluded that nobody took charge. this map shows what happened to train services after timetable changes. the red indicates delays — the darker the colour the worse the disruption. blue shows train services that performed well or were actually
