frances o'grady, the leader of the tuc knows that not every union wants to have a new referendum, sory clear that there are circumstances which would trigger it if a deal that comes back from brussels is unacceptable, for example, or if the prime minister does not extend the talks to try and get a better deal. nonetheless, listen to that language, putting her full weight behind the popular vote. that will put a lot of pressure on the labour leadership. there is pressure onjeremy corbyn from some of his own activists to debate this in a couple of weeks' time at their annual conference, for labour to harden its position on this idea of having a new referendum on the eu. so having the leader of the trade union movement representing some of the big trade unions who will be at that labour conference, saying that they are prepared to campaign to get that referendum, i think, is significant. but as i say, not every trade union agrees with this and we spoke to the leader of the rail union, the rmt, who had backed brexit. he warned his fellow trade unionists that quite simply something which

particularly with frances o'grady setting out those three criteria, saying the government needs to protectnd also make sure that there is no hard border that we northern ireland and the republic of ireland. it is certainly a more grey area. the hard border is clear but potentially the other two issues, how the government can protect those rights and ensure that the tuc is satisfied is certainly more open to debate. at what stage another potential referendum would be called for by the tuc is a little more questionable. we may get more clarity tomorrow as frances o‘grady addresses the whole of the tuc with her keynote speech. brexit taking centre stage at the start of the conference but what are we likely to hearfor conference but what are we likely to hear for the rest of the week? the tuc of course are discussing lots of different issues. they represent 49 different issues. they represent 49 different unions so they all have their own agendas. the real thrust throughout this week is the applications for workers of new technology, of the changes in the nature of work. 0—hours contracts, a l

we might get more clarity tomorrow as frances o'grady gives her keynote speech. taking centre stage today, but what are we likely to here for the rest of the week? the tuc discussing lots of different issues, they represent 49 different unions and they will have their own agendas, but the real thrust this week is the implications for workers of new technology, the changes in the nature of work, zero—hours contracts, there are a lot of big issues up for discussion but of course it is brexit dominating everything at the moment. a group representing religious education teachers and faith organisations has called for big changes to the way the subject is taught in england. the commission for religious education says children should learn about atheism and humanism, as well as the main faiths, to better reflect modern britain. north korea has held a military parade to mark its 70th anniversary — but in contrast with previous years, long—range missiles — with the potential to carry nuclear warheads — were not on show. donald trump, who is hoping to persuade north korea

tomorrow is when frances o'grady gives his speech. within that as to what those red lines consist of, when it would be triggered, the tuc support for a second referendum. and we will be hearing from many others. brexit not the only issue. they are also concerned about the future of work here, how workers can be supported ina here, how workers can be supported in a modern economy. they are trying to make that a focus as well but it is brexit that dominates everything. an update now on a story from the world of sports. tennis star serena williams has been fined $17,000 after accusing the umpire at the us open final last night of sexism and treating her unfairly. it followed a controversial match in which williams was penalised three times — initially for receiving coaching during the game, then for breaking her racket and finally for abusing the umpire — for which she was docked a whole game. she demanded an on—court apology from him, and called him a liar and a thief — before going on to lose to japan's naomi osaka. patrick gearey repo

well, that is not all that clear despite what frances o'grady laid out.ore from her tomorrow when she gets the key note speech tomorrow at that main conference. she has been setting out those lines, they have been saying them for a number of months and they say there should be no harder border between northern ireland and the republic and that the government needs to secure rights for workers and jobs for workers. that is the big grey issue at the moment. she particularly picked out the car industry to say that those kind ofjobs could be impacted and affected if the uk does not get the kind of deal that norway has. that is the one she was highlighting today in comments to the press in saying that the uk needs to stay within some kind of clothes structure with the eu in order to securejobs clothes structure with the eu in order to secure jobs and make sure that trade flows eke —— easily and that trade flows eke —— easily and that workers can remain in that kind ofa that workers can remain in that kind of a workforce. thank you for talking us through that.

frances o'grady was also asked if unions supported a second vote on brexit.t to serve notice to the prime minister today that if we don't get the deal that working people need then the tuc will be throwing our full weight behind a campaign for a popular vote so that people get a say on whether the deal is good enough or not because, you know, i'm a trade unionist. there is no way a trade unionist would negotiate a deal and not go back to their members. rules which prevent some victims of crime from being compensated if they lived with their attacker are being scrapped by the ministry ofjustice. the "same roof rule" was changed in 1979, but not retrospectively, meaning victims from before that time have been refused payouts. last year, more than a £150million was paid out by the scheme. here's our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw. after a violent crime, what happens to the victims? for over 50 years, they have been able to claim compensation under a scheme funded by the state. but the government says the system needs modernising to reflect the changing n

the independent reports on comments made by the leader of britain's trade union movement, frances o'grady, who has called for the power of technology to be used to give workers a four—day working week. and finally if you had an extra day off, would you be able to refrain from spending it downing alcohol? the telegraph says acording to public health england middle aged drinkers should abstain from drinking for a number of days each and every week. so let's begin. with me is cornelia meyer, who's ceo of the mrl corporation, a business consultancy. cornelia, let's get started with the sweden election. the guardian talks about the deadlock for the main parties, as the far right makes significant gains, yet the main parties do not want to work with the sweden democrats. it's a similar situation to what we had in germany with the afp, alternative for deutschland. it's interesting, i've done the numbers, according to the polls, so far the social democrats have worked with the greens. with support from the left. if you add them up, they‘ re support from the left. if you add them up, they're at 40

its general secretary, frances o'grady, told its annual congress a four—day working week is achievablee the end of this century. in a moment it will be time for sportsday but first a look at what else is coming up this evening on bbc news. we'll have more on the conservative party divisions over brexit — coming up just after 8:00pm. we'll be discussing whether we are all going to be working fewer days following calls from the unions for a four—day week. that's at 8:20 and we'll take a look at tomorrow's front pages with our reviewers the evening standard's political correspondent kate proctor and the author and journalist owen bennett. that's at 10:1i0pm and 11:30pm. that's all ahead on bbc news. now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. hello, i'm olly foster at the bbc sport centre here's what's coming up on sportsday tonight: signing off with a century — it's a dream final test for alastair cook as he puts england in a winning position. the case for serena — the women's tour back her claims of umpiring double standards but can this behaviour really be justified? you owe me an apology

, and let's take up the north—west, and let's take up the call from the tuc general secretary frances o'gradylogies and automation as an opportunity, rather than a threat, a chance to raise living standards and give people more control over their own lives. that's why we're determined to rebuild our economy and public services but also to democratise them and change the way our economic system is run in the interests of the majority. john mcdonnell‘s proposals for inclusive ownership funds will mean workers sharing more fairly in the wars of successful businesses. justin welby rightly argued that economicjustice justin welby rightly argued that economic justice needs justin welby rightly argued that economicjustice needs to behind wide into the way the economy works. the 19th—century chartist leader and poet ernestjones wrote this... and what we get and what we give, we know, and we know our share. we're not too loathe the clocks we weave but too loathe the cloth to wear. he was making the point that workers know the reality and injustice of their position and labour believes a worker's posit

it was mentioned by frances o'grady at the tuc today. she said it will enable more of it happened. is certainly allowing us to do technology is certainly allowing us todoa technology is certainly allowing us to do a lot more with a lot less of ourtime. for to do a lot more with a lot less of our time. for example to do a lot more with a lot less of ourtime. for example in customer services allows us to reach a lot more people very quickly. we have not started looking at robotic arms and a kitchen checked and all our food is handmade so we will probably resist that one a bit longer but the way we look at it, at least with the mission for us and we truly believe and we are trying to inspire the next billion plant bird people with flavour and you don't do that without putting an extraordinary effort to get an extraordinary outcome. so that kind of business into a position where everyone in our team into a position where everyone in ourteam is into a position where everyone in our team is really pulling together every day and we do have balance. if you need to take time off work from h

jeremy corbyn was to keep the option of another referendum on the back burner but frances o'grady of was sounding far more positive about the prospect of a new vote. all we're all we‘ re left all we're left with, with 200 days to go before potentially we crashed out of the the eu, all we got left is that campaign and call for a popular vote and if the prime minister won't come back with a deal that the people deserve we will be firing our weight behind that campaign. you've made it clear what you want the prime minister to do, but what about the leader of the opposition? different organisations will make their own decisions but it's time that politicians focused on what people are telling them. when labour holds its conference in two weeks some unions and grassroots members want to see the party going much further in the direction of a new referendum. i asked the shadow chancellor if he's prepared to move. i want chancellor if he's prepared to move. iwanta chancellor if he's prepared to move. i want a general election because it's about changing the negotiating team. if that doesn't

the tuc‘s general secretary, frances o'grady, will tell its annual congress in manchester that a four—day century. looking at the average supermarket today or warehouse, you will see there are lots of different shift systems. this is about saying flexibility should be to way. ——2 away. there should be rewards to everybody from newc technology and everybody from newc technology and everybody needs and deserves a decent wage —— from new technology. the conservative party will suffer a catastrophic split unless theresa may backs down over her brexit plan — that's the warning today from a former brexit minister. steve baker, who resigned from the government injuly, says the prime minister faces a massive problem ahead of the party's conference later this month. let's get more detail from our political correspondent, chris mason who is in westminster for us. steve baker is not a household name. let's be honest. he was one of the backbench brexit battlers, if you like, during the referendum campaign a couple of years ago. sufficiently passionate about brexit and theresa may took him on as a gov

the tuc‘s general secretary frances o'grady told its annual congress in manchester that the wider workforce as robotics and artificial intelligence. but how feasible is a 4—day working week for businesses? earlier, i spoke to both jonathan petrides, who runs a start—up food delivery service, allplants and mark hooper, who runs the firm indycube, where they've been trying a 4—day week for the past 18 months. i started by asking mark how the 4—day week has been working so far. we've got people doing the things they want to do with some of their time, so they're notjust focused on work. and i think we're getting more out of them than we would have done when they were doing a five—day week. so for us it's been a success. but i think the thing we've learned most about this is that work isn't everything to everyone. why did you decide to go for it in the first place? part of it was to prove a point. we felt the world of work is changing and we were in a position where we could try and do some of these things, so this was about trying something and actually getting people working and doing things

the tuc general secretary, frances o'grady, warned that crashing out of the eu without a deal would be disaster" for workers. today, i'm giving the prime minister fair warning. i am serving notice that if her deal doesn't deliver for working people, if it doesn't protectjobs, rights at work and peace in northern ireland, then the tuc will throw our weight behind the call for a vote on the terms of the deal. our business correspondent colletta smith is in manchester where the unions are holding their annual conference. shejoins me now. wasn't a surprise to hear such a strong warning? yes, it was a surprise because this is certainly a step further than the tuc have gone up step further than the tuc have gone up until this point. a couple of unions have gone a little further in saying the public should get another boat, another referendum on the details of a final deal. whatever happens. but the tuc represents 49 different unions. they have taken a step back from that slightly but it is still a strong message in saying that if there are three red lines had metastases, than they would supp
