lots of questions about jeremy corbyn's health and about jeremy corbyn's health and about his willingnessader, which i have always been a bit sceptical about, but clearly something is up, and we are going to learn more, because as lucy said, andrew fisher was a very, very important person in corbyn's operation. and for him to walk out does suggest something is really awry indo central relationships. and the thought that succession planning has started? well, that was one of the theories that has been put forward for what happened, or what was mooted last night. what didn't happen. what was maybe meant to happen. what was maybe meant to happen today, but didn't, labour trying to abolish the position of deputy leader. now, there is an argument to say that maybe they did not so much because they fear tom watson or they disapprove of him, but because they actually suspect jeremy corbyn might be on the way out, and if he is on the way out, is that because he is going to resign oi’ that because he is going to resign or because they are actually worried about his health or about his stamina? abo

the big issue though that jeremy corbyn evening until tuesday. thatjeremy corbyn is going to struggle to contain is break that. we know the party executive is going to discuss what is essentially anotherfudge tomorrow going to discuss what is essentially another fudge tomorrow which will see the party kick the can down the road to that as well. and not decide on another referendum to take side with a repack leave or remain until after a general election. got to say, from all the signs herejeremy corbyn is going to struggle to do that and i think he is very unlikely that and i think he is very unlikely that be that now or after the general election labour would do anything over the think campaign for remain. there's 91 motions that could be discussed over the next few days on brexit, 80 of them put forward by unions and people in the labour party and constituency and labour parties back eight remain position. we saw thousands of people on the road today calling for labour to get behind that. seems to be where the membership is. the leadership a bi

and it looks unlikely that jeremy corbyn will go through to two thirds.he fixed term parliament act which is to introduce a short piece of legislation which will set aside the fixed term problem and act and the need for two thirds majority and they can use to specify a date that would allow jeremy corbyn to be reassured that it was notjust jeremy corbyn to be reassured that it was not just at that. and they would only need a simple majority for that. in blackford there, for all the assurances that the opposition parties and the rebel territories are trying to get to stop no deal but the simple fact is you cannot bind the hands of the future. unless jeremy corbyn is very confident that he will win the next general election which with current numbers i do not think he should be, any thing that goes to parliament 110w any thing that goes to parliament now can be quickly counteracted by any government. just on the sequencing, we had two motions going down tomorrow, which takes precedent? they can have control of the order paper so after three p:m., it goes ov

divisions over brexit are reignited and what is interesting if i may point this out, you have a jeremy corbyn unambiguously remain. we have a usualjeremy corbyn ally len mccluskey calling for exactly the opposite. then there is the whole tom watson affair, partlyjeremy poor —— michaeljeremy corbyn not involved in left—wing attempts to oust his own deputy leader calling into question his own authority. around these parts they say unity is strength but quite frankly they are going to need a strenuous course of political body—building in the next few days and indeed in the run—up to the next general election. ian, thank you. saudi arabia says it will respond with "necessary measures" to attacks on two of its oil facilities last weekend and has again accused of iran being behind them. iran denies involvement and earlier today said it was ready to destroy any aggressor after the us government announced it was sending troops to saudi arabia. frank gardner reports from riyadh. punctured, bombed, and blasted, the graphic aftermath of last weekend's missile and drone attack on saudi oil facilities...

jeremy corbyn has said that if labour is elected, it will scrap the government's flagship welfare systemcredit. mr corbyn, who has been giving a speech in chingford in essex, described the benefit as "cruel and inhumane" — and outlined his party's approach. there is a number of things we will, do leading up to scrapping universal credit, in its entirety. cheering. but first of all, we will end the capability for work assessment tests that are so brutal to people in their lives and have led, tragically, to some people taking their own lives and committing suicide because they cannot see any way forward. as a constituency mp, i sit with people going through the pain of being told they're capable for work when they are clearly not, for work when they are clearly not. jeremy corbyn talking about what would happen if labour won a general election, not if he becomes prime minister of a minority government. asa minister of a minority government. as a result of the current prime minister being kicked out. that all depends on the opposition parties joining forces. there are signs they ta ke joini

jeremy corbyn is just not agree on a candidate.y corbyn isjust not going agree on a candidate. jeremy corbyn is just not going to be the interim prime minister wanted by the liberal democrats and jo swinson stop we are now facing this different move. because, of course, prorogation did not happen and parliament is still in session. it is. we could be good news for the train company and short flight news for the train company and short flight airlines. as was said, the liberal democrats have said they will not put jeremy corbyn in downing street as prime minister. dave margaret beckett, seen to be from labour, would get wider support across political parties but it is, by convention, jeremy corbyn's right to form a government first up. and he does not want it to be somebody else. on monday, we will be how many days away from the 31st of october? 31. in the metro, a picture of the banner taken down demanding the death of conservatives... it is viol. this banner with effigies hanging underneath the bridge. it is a further coarsening of

the headlines at 3: jeremy corbyn has quashed an attempt to oust tom watson as the deputy leader of theparty, a row which has overshadowed the start of the party's conference in brighton. the nec agreed this morning that we are going to consult on the future of diversifying the deputy leader position to reflect the adversity of society. does tom watson have your full confidence? tom watson is the deputy leader of the party and i enjoy working with him. the party conference has opened — among policy matters this afternoon, labour is set to announce proposals to give women experiencing the menopause more flexible working hours. the travel firm thomas cook has approached the government for emergency funding, as it tries to avoid going into administration, leaving customers with uncertainty. just don't know what the situation is. we will either have a flight back into manchester and be fortunate are all things could... you know, things could collapse in the next couple of days or hours and we have nothing. iran reacts defiantly in response to the us sending troops and missile defence system

jeremy corbyn is trying to do the same thing - and failing.ho are the labour party activist, and what they want over brexit, compared with people who are not members of the party but might vote labour? to be fair to jeremy corbyn, he is in a difficult position. the labour party membership and mps are overwhelmingly of a remain disposition, whereas labour has scores of seats across the country where people voted to leave by up to 70% of people in those constituencies voting to leave, so even approaching the idea that you are not going to just respect the referendum result that was announced in 2016 is, in itself, difficult territory for labour. the brexit party are polling 12%, up to 15%, and that cuts across both parties, but it does particularly concentrate in leave areas, and as i say, not just northern constituencies, but a lot of labour constituencies are leave facing. however difficult you site is for him to respect the result, you can't respect the leader ofa result, you can't respect the leader of a national political party who is so of

the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, says a minority labour government is becoming more likely every dayopposition parties consider whether to call a vote of no confidence in the prime minister. the scottish nationalists have reiterated their support for an interim government to ensure, they say, that britain doesn't leave the eu without a deal at the end of next month. all this comes at the end of a tumultuous week for borisjohnson, who arrived earlier in manchester with his partner, carrie symonds. they're in the city from the start of the conservative party conference, where they were booed as they arrived. here's chris mason's report. is this a leadership bid, mrjohnson? the conservative conference a year ago, the smiles of the carefree backbench challenger, the mobmed darling of the party faithful. boris johnson will arrive at conference this year as prime minister, in office, but barely in control. defeated in court, but defiant. what a week it's been. the prime minister's advice to her majesty was unlawful. parliament has not been prorogued. welcome back to our place of work. many

not at all. # 0h, jeremy corbyn, 0h, jeremy corby. 0h, jeremy corbyn.ance to mr corbyn. the leadership had cooked up an agreement with the big unions to stick to the line of not supporting leave or remain right 110w. the country needs to hear a united labour voice. back that, back him, his ally urged. i implore you, please, givejeremy the support he needs later so that prime minister corbyn can lead us to a bright new dawn. but the biggest union doesn't see it that way, wanting to pick remain now. it's time to do the right thing, support a second referendum and campaign for remain. applause. applause and cheers echoed on the platform again and again. labour is a remain party. remain, revolt, reform. i know young people will hold the vote against us unless unless we tell them that we will campaign to vote remain. i want to see jeremy corbyn in number ten and campaigning to remain is the way to do it and the only way to do it. solidarity! but hold on, you're watching a clamour over the control of this party, notjust the eu. we stand behind jeremy corbyn.

what labour was saying and what jeremy corbyn was saying and what jeremy corbyn was saying and what jeremy that they would be a whole package of new rights for workers including cracking down on zero out workers including cracking down on zero our contract, new cabinet role foran zero our contract, new cabinet role for an employment secretary and a new workers' protection agency. this is coming from the point of view of protection for the lowest paid workers in the most insecure jobs in society. what his critics and political opponents is —— are saying, is that this could harm employment and it could empower trade unions too much and create difficulties for businesses. the problem with the daily mail saying this is that actually, when you talk about the 1970s, an awful lot of vote rs about the 1970s, an awful lot of voters were not born in 1970. you do need to remind people of that. some people of my generation need to be reminded of that. let's turn to the i. this is good news if you are a university, you are a foreign student and particularly if you are trying to advance the science of g

jeremy corbyn about these because well. we are up about 0.4% on the cable rate as we try to figure out what boris johnson's options are going to be next. interesting to know whether he knows. are we going to see a general election? what is going to happen next? i think the market is still scratching his head on that one. european equities absolutely flat. we have seen u.s. equities nosing over as the president spoke at the u.n. the german ten-year, you'll strike the -- 10 year, yields dropping a bit. 2%.t crude now down by the president pushing back against iran, talking about the lack of sanctions options in terms of withdrawing them. that has pushed the price of crude a little further down today, trading at $63.53. maybe not as aggressive as some anticipated, but crude under a bit of pressure. vonnie: we are seeing that in wti, down 1.75%. gains offving those of u.s. equity indices. it does seem to have started when the president talked about meeting with the ceo of micron about china. he singled out china on the world st

and jeremy corbyn and the country. and jeremy corbyn and the country.y corbyn is not going to fall for the elephant trap, at the at least not yet, but how long seriously can he resist a general election? i think there are a series of elephant traps jeremy corbyn wisely hasn't fallen into from his point of view to the first one, but it is very difficult, quite odd for jeremy corbyn who has been calling day in, day out for an election really, since the last one, to say 110w really, since the last one, to say now i don't want one. he can only spin that out a certain amount of timei spin that out a certain amount of time i think. borisjohnson made a quite interesting but possibly a tactical blunder on monday by going out in front of downing street, people thought he was going to announce a general election, then he said you don't want one, i don't wa nt said you don't want one, i don't want one, that was clearly a way of saying but we are going to have to have one but the question is who wins on the dates, and at the moment thatis wins on the dates, and at

we stand behind jeremy corbyn, 0k, we need to support him, we need to trust him and his team. y are racist. back your leader — support jeremy. and this fight‘s still on — prominent frontbenchers won't just sit back. there is a simple belief a simple position to remain would be more convincing. i mean, i've got a pretty clear idea, i think, of where the members are on this. and therefore i think it's very likely that the members will want us to campaign for remain. jeremy corbyn fought off attempts to force him to budge on brexit by turning this into a loyalty test. his supporters won out. but while today's debate is over, the argument is not. not even close. where are we going now? up these stairs. yep, ok, let's go. in this moment, this conference had to choose between pushing to stay in the eu and their party leader. jeremy corbyn was their choice. thank you very much. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, brighton. aside from brexit, the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, today put forward the party's other pledges if labour forms a government. these include reducing average full—time

jeremy corbyn is totally unfit to be prime minister of our country!interesting picking up on michael gove's words, that also in the course of this afternoon, dominic raab saying that history would never forgive any of those independent tories who effectively helped getjeremy corbyn into number ten voting to bring down boris johnson. do you get a sense that they are seriously right about this prospect? maybe not this week but at some point in the future? that there could be an attempt to force a no—confidence vote and it could actually succeed? the thing is, because of a system that we are in, it is much harderfor a prime minister to get a general election which is why we are stuck. because boris johnson in election which is why we are stuck. because borisjohnson in the old days as prime minister could have said right, i am calling a general election for the state, that is it, it is going to happen. it doesn't work like that any more. there are various mechanisms. 0ne work like that any more. there are various mechanisms. one of them is a vote of no—co

that was...lost. # 0h, jeremy corbyn # 0h, jeremy corbyn...h side won the day. a sigh of relief this session, at least, is over. a result for the leader's most prominent backer. the plan — stay neutral until after the election and then offer a vote on leave or remain. of course, emotions will run high, but once the night settles and the morn arrives, i believe people will recognise that there was no stitch—up. here's a proper union for you! but the unions, just like the party, split. those who want labour to campaign to stop brexit now won't go away. so you won't to give up, might you try again somehow? well, i didn't give up two and a half years ago when a referendum wasn't remotely on the radar. why would i give up now when i've got most of what i want? this party's heart is remain. labour is a remain party — remain, revolt, reform. i know young people will hold their vote against us unless we'll tell them we'll campaign to remain. i want to seejeremy corbyn in number ten and campaigning to remain is the way to do it, and the only way to do

an election which is what boris johnson is trying to push for because he thinks that he can be jeremy corbyn job because we're not playing that game at the moment the only bill in town today is what jeremy corbin is effectively saying is to stop a note on the 31st of october and it's to be your because i want to draw on the correspondence shot of pot is in london and bureau chief mike soft money is in brussels welcome to both of you let me start with you charlotte. we heard a very kind of testy exchange between the 2 leaders boris johnson as well as germany cool been a give us a sense for us what is at stake today in the british parliament. exactly and rita very heated debate once again in the british parliament we've seen that quite often in the past 3 some mayors also faced tough questions especially on the topic of bricks it and now boris johnson facing those same tough questions from opposition leader jeremy corbyn we have we're going what we're going to see later on today is a vote on a bill that would prevent boris johnson from making the country leave without a deal on october 31st pa

jeremy corbyn has quashed an attempt to oust tom watson as the deputy leader of the labour party — ach has overshadowed the start of the party's conference in brighton. i'm particularly disappointed with the boss of momentum because i think he is not just the boss of momentum because i think he is notjust undermining me, he has undermined jeremy and the party, and frankly i think he has undermined the momentum delegates. iran reacts defiantly — in response to the us sending troops and missile defence systems to saudi arabia and the uae —— after last week's attack on saudi oilfacilities. the travel firm thomas cook has approached the government for emergency funding, as it tries to avoid going into administration — leaving customers facing uncertainty. teenage climate activist greta thunberg arrives to cheering crowds at a youth summit on climate change in new york — ahead of the un general assembly next week. and in football, kevin de bruyne helps man city score a massive eight goals — and secure victory — against watford. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn has intervened in an attempt t

jeremy corbyn and that nec meeting thatis jeremy corbyn and that nec meeting that is taking place as we speak is proposing a review of labour's deputy leader position. what will much are? we're not sure. and that is kind of the point of it. to have a discussion about what will happen to tom watson's job and therefore not rush the decision that could have been as this afternoon to get rid of it. i understand that that momentum, who are thejeremy corbyn‘s supporting group, who had been spearheading this plot to get rid of thomason are happy with what arejeremy corbyn is suggesting and so are arejeremy corbyn is suggesting and so are withdrawing their motion, which would have got rid of tom watson's job, potentially later this afternoon. it looks, and it is not confirmed that that meeting is taking place and god knows, in politics anything can happen, but it looks, for the moment, like that plot to get rid of thomason might be. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. hello. apart from the odd pocket of fog this morning, it's been a fine start and that dry, that sunn

from parliament inspired i'm afraid by jeremy corbyn the worse this thing will be what people want to see is a resolution and they want to see us getting this thing done and that's what we're going to do take ferguson from the sun their prime minister and he's can you make a promise today to the british public that you will not go back to brussels and ask for another delay to taxes yes and so he can and would you. rather be dead in a ditch. so you would resign fast prime minister love the guy and also that the law and i look i just don't i really it costs a $1000000000.00 pounds a month it achieves absolutely nothing what on earth is the point of a further delay i think it's it's totally totally pointless. ellicott from the daily mail. thank you and your intolerance there has become the latest tory m.p. to voice concerns about parents of 21 rebels from the party actions with a t. hey c. and it's our way back to those m.p.'s well let's be let's be clear what we want to do i think what this country wants and what the people in parliament want is to see us coming out of the e.u. on octob

jeremy corbyn can't make a decision? for them to have their say. any deal that borisjohnson brings back, if we believe you will bring one back at all, is in my view going to have to go back to the british people so they can decide whether they want it or not. people want to know before a general election is a vote for labour vote to remain or leave ? vote for labour vote to remain or leave? in my case it is of all to remain. in welsh labour, scottish labour, northern ireland to the position of the sdlp, it is very clear. it doesn't work like that. it does. we may face choices in the next weeks that are going to be things we will have to decide as mps now, not the situation after a general election. what about english labour? ian takes a different view to me. we agree though that this has to go back to the people and people have to have the final say on this. as a vote for labour vote for leaving a remaining? in my view, four remaining. we may face choices in the next few weeks. what do you think about leaders who can't m

idea, and the labour party is crucial to that equation and here is the leader of the opposition jeremy corbynnd here is the leader of the opposition jeremy corbynlj equation and here is the leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn. i will come tonight's boat, we live in a parliamentary democracy. we do not have a presidency but a prime minister. prime ministers govern with the consent of the house of commons, representing the people in whom the sovereignty rests. there is no consent... there is no consent in this house to leave the european union without a deal. there is no majority for no deal in the country. asi majority for no deal in the country. as i have said before, if that prime minister has a confidence in his brexit policy, when he has won, he can put forward, he should put it before it that people in a public vote. and sell, you want to table a motion for a general election, fine, get the bill through first in order to prevent... in order to take no deal off the table. so what all of this means is that mps are now in control of what is debated tomorrow in the house of commons. they w

jeremy corbyn has said that if labour is elected it will scrap the government's flagship welfare system. mr corbyn, who has been giving a speech in chingford, described the benefit as "cruel and inhumane" — and outlined his party's approach. there is a number of things we will do, leading up to scrapping universal credit, in its entirety. cheering. but first of all, we will end the capability for work assessment tests that go on and are so brutal to people in their lives and have led, tragically, to some people taking their own lives and committing suicide, because they cannot see any way forward. as a constituency mp, i sit with people going through the pain of being told they're capable for work, when they are clearly not. that report on the situation as it is developing. leading democrats in congress have made their first demand for documents in the impeachment inquiry into president trump. the secretary of state, mike pompeo, has been ordered to hand over ukraine—related material within a week. the us special envoy to ukraine, kurt volker, has resigned. our north america corresponde

i think that would put jeremy corbyn in a very... 19th of september? to be done by borisjohnson. so it's kind of you go first, going on at the moment as well. so i think that's one of the issues. the leadership of both parties is in tension with its own parliamentary membership, with mps, it's also in tension with the country. because if you look at many of the johnson strategy, it's to get the breaks of party voters to support the brexit party actually wa nt support the brexit party actually want no—deal, and brexit party want yellow hammer. for them, want no—deal, and brexit party want yellow hammer. forthem, it's actually the best case scenario, i wished for, longed for, anything less than no—deal is a bit of a betrayal. so i think there is a lot of things working out in the politics now, and we are going to get lots of commentary from people like us, and lots of speculation about what's next, well we have got this rule, this court ruling as well in the mix. so there is that, but dawn coming back tojeremy corbyn and tom watson, they have got their c

fact that the lib dems have said that they would not back a government of national unity with jeremy corbynf national unity withjeremy corbyn at back a government of national unity with jeremy corbyn at the back a government of national unity withjeremy corbyn at the helm because they think it would be dangerous, and i don't see how particularly the ones who defected from the labour party, who have said that corbyn is dangerous and unfit to lead cook, could possibly support a vote that would make him prime minister. and without the lib dems, they don't have a chance. the chance of labour and the they don't have a chance. the chance of labourand the snp they don't have a chance. the chance of labour and the snp risking a vote of labour and the snp risking a vote of no confidence if they are not 100% certain that they have a government of national unity ready to go are very slim because then there would be an election of boris johnson's terms. let's continue with the lib dems. how much choice have they really got over who they support? if they really want to get the vote of no confidence and

in the appropriate fashion. supporting jeremy corbyn in the appropriate fashionlj supporting jeremyte fashion. i don't think thatis appropriate fashion. i don't think that is true. i think is the deputy leader of a party, i worked for harriet harman, who had been around for a long time, of course you support the leader, but you also have to be able to speak up for the membership, because they elected you. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers — our guests joining me tonight are the broadcaster and psychotherapist lucy beresford and the chief poliotical commentator at the independent, john rentoul. saudi arabia says it will respond with "necessary measures" to attacks on two of its oil facilities last weekend and has again accused of iran being behind them. iran denies involvement and earlier said it was ready to destroy any aggressor after the us announced it was sending troops to saudi arabia. our security correspondent frank gardner reports from the saudi capital, riyadh. punctured bomb

this is bbc news i'm lukwesa burak, the headlines at two: jeremy corbyn says he'd serve a full term as prime minister if labour won the next general election and plays down criticism of his leadership from a senior aide. i think he said that because he was extremely distressed at that point about whatever was going on in discussions within the office at that moment. meanwhile, labour is promising free prescriptions for all, as it tries to put policy back in the spotlight at a party conference overshadowed by internal rows. thomas cook is holding emergency talks as it tries to agree a rescue deal to prevent it from going bust. angry scenes in hong kong as pro—democracy activists disrupt transport services protesting against what they see as china's growing interference. coming up at 2:30, talking books heads to the edinburgh festival, where kirsty wark interviews author jing—jing lee. good afternoon. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has sought to play down divisions in his top team, after one of his key aides announced he's resigning. it comes after a turbulent start to the labour part

you're right they are some way off a majority for a jeremy corbyn lead man.y borisjohnson for not obeying the party, they are not on board either. i think this is designed to put pressure on opposition parties to come up with a strategy, lock them in a room and say if it is notjeremy corbyn tell us say if it is notjeremy corbyn tell us who it is, we will thrash that out. labour have never quite conclusively said that they won't sign up to something that doesn't putjeremy corbyn in number ten for a few days before calling an general election. there is a big meeting of opposition leaders on monday and i think that will start to feel a bit like crunch time for this idea, to figure out whether or not they can come up with a plan they all agree on. so whetherjeremy corbyn can beasts seem to look slightly statesman—like by allowing a broader coalition to go through, that could bea coalition to go through, that could be a plan couldn't it? i want to touch on what else is coming up next week. starting tomorrow the tory party conference. it will be interesting if bori

because it can, because these members support jeremy corbyn.m the first time, the second time, and they are preparing to unite behind him in a general election. sol preparing to unite behind him in a general election. so i think the row that you are hoping for can very well be avoided. i am not necessarily hoping for a row, just arguing if there will be one, you are two competing motions, what can be done behind closed doors to stop that happening to what unites members is the support forjeremy corbyn and his programme, and i believe that a row can very well be avoided. what would you say to seniorfigures in the party avoided. what would you say to senior figures in the party who are saying, to grassroots activists, don't compromise, don't back down, don't compromise, don't back down, don't settle for a fudge, make sure you put out fully crowded remain option to the conference floor tomorrow? apply well, i couldn't possibly comment. i believe that people will unite behind the leadership. diane abbott, thank you very much, the shadow home secret

for labour, jeremy corbyn called for action to stop no—deal — and for a general election. week is shaping up... tomorrow, mps return to the commons after the summer recess, when legislation to stop a no—deal brexit will be introduced by opposition mps. on wednesday that bill will be debated in the commons. at midday, boris johnson will take part in his first prime minister's questions. on thursday, that bill could reach the house of lords, and debate over it could spill over into next monday. with the latest from westminster, here's our political correspondent ben wright. good morning, how lovely to see you on this sunny morning. cabinet ministers are threatening a purge of tory mps who join opposition efforts to block a no—deal brexit in the commons tomorrow. so, will that stop the tory rebels? what rebels? are there rebels? there certainly are, including conservative mps who sat in cabinet until borisjohnson took over. it sounds to me like they are almost goading people into voting against the government, because i think their strategy, to be honest, is to lose this week

. >> jeremy corbyn. thank you, mr. speaker. i pay my disrespect to -- i start by paying my do respect to andrew harper. it is a reminder of what he and police officers face all the time trying to protect communities. i also want to send our condolences to those affected by hurricane dorian, that hit the bahamas. they are doing all they can to make sure help is sent there. yesterday, it was revealed the prime minister's negotiating strategy is to run down the lock and the attorney general told the prime minister his belief that the european unionon would drop the backstop was a fantasy. are these reports accurate or can the prime minister provide the detail of the proposals he has put forward to the eu? >> the strategy is to get a deal by october 17 and take this country out of the eu on october 31. to get brexit done. dot the surrender bill would is wreck any chance of the talks and we do not know what his strategy is. for activists to paralyze the traffic in the name of his -- what is the slogan? can he confirm he will allow t

not at all. # 0h, jeremy corbyn, 0h, jeremy corbyn. cooked up an agreement with the big unions to stick to the line of not supporting leave or remain right now. the country needs to hear a united labour voice. back that, back him, his ally urged. i implore you, please, givejeremy the support he needs later so that prime minister corbyn can lead us to a bright new dawn. but the biggest union doesn't see it that way, wanting to pick remain now. it's time to do the right thing, support a second referendum and campaign for remain. applause applause and cheers echoed on the platform again and again. labour is a remain party. remain, revolt, reform. i know young people will hold their vote against us unless we tell them that we will campaign to vote remain. i want to see jeremy corbyn in number ten and campaigning to remain is the way to do it and the only way to do it. solidarity! but hold on, you're watching a clamour over the control of this party, notjust the eu. we stand behind jeremy corbyn. 0k, we need to support him, we need to trust

i know it is a fascinating time and all the machinations of what could come, but it will be jeremy corbynt it will bejeremy corbyn in a situation like that who steps forward and seeks to get the support of parliament. but you know our message is clear let's get the extension and get the general election. thank you. i'm joined now by the brexit party mep belinda de lucy. you described today's ruling as a grave injustice and a continuation of the resis taps to brexit —— resista nce of the resis taps to brexit —— resistance brexit. are you saying thejudges were in resistance brexit. are you saying the judges were in favour of brexit. idid say the judges were in favour of brexit. i did say i have the utmost respect for our courts, it is one of reasons i voted brexit, because i want our laws to be interpreted by british judges, i was talking about obstacles. you believe ourjudges are not biased and this was an independent decision taken based on law? i believe it is dangerous territory when ourjudiciary law? i believe it is dangerous territory when our judiciary and unelected lawyers step into

boris johnson taunting jeremy corbyn in the commons, saying he is the first leader of an opposition notagainst a vote of governments in the government. extraordinary situation forjeremy corbyn who, pretty much every day since the last election, has been calling for another one but now he says he doesn't want one just yet. i think it was pretty obviously a ploy to try and force jeremy corbyn into an election which clearly wouldn't have had the effect of taking no deal off the table, so it was very much within boris johnson... deal off the table, so it was very much within borisjohnson... jeremy corbyn realised he was going to take the risk of a little bit of taunting and embarrassment anti—milly asian but when the election comes, as it will before too long, all that will be forgotten and it will be a choice between which of the menu wants to between which of the menu wants to be prime minister, as borisjohnson said in the commerce today, which of those men do you want to go to europe to carry on negotiations, if there are to be negotiations. the election is a case of when, rather than ai

are you going to bring the country together whenjeremy going to bring the country together when jeremy corbynarty together? we have had andrew fisher, emily thornberry who says we need to make a decision, labour should be remain. whatever‘s going on within the labour itself is dominating what they should be doing in terms of outlining their stance should they go intoa outlining their stance should they go into a general election. the party has got schisms running through it. i can guarantee you this, my next constituency and the local library people will not be raising with me what people are working on whether they will spend more time with their family and a few months or not and they will not be talking about some of the comments that have been made at meetings. but there will be talking about is things like the policy that they have announced today which is in into prescription charges and national health service because what is been shown is people are not going to get the medicines they need to put off their prescription charges so i think a lot of this is pastor. people that are posses

we don't know for sure whether jeremy corbyn knew about it last night but it certainly appears that he it because had tojeremy corbyn wanted this attempt to get rid of mr to go ahead the simple truth is it would have. there's been an enormous amount of outspoken comments from various labour mps over the last 12 hours since this plot emerged. a lot of anger within the parliamentary labour party about whether mr watson should be removed or not. there is a chance that might have pressured mr corbyn into the decision he made this morning to kick this down the road to order a review into the leadership support and the deputy leadership support and the deputy leader position, but it does appear that mr corbyn did not want this to go ahead today because, as i say, had he wanted it too it would have. for now it has been postponed. this does not mean the row was going to go away and i suspect there will be many who don't like tom watson, who continue to argue that he is undermining the leader and that he should not be the man who is in the deputy leader position. but for now, that attempt to ge

lodepends on jeremy corbyn. he has been saying almost daily, bring on the election. but many are insisting that stopping would be before a new referendum that some of themem want. either way, it takes 434 mps t agree on early elections. the opposition could stop it going ahead unless the go.rnment finds another way whatatbout the eu? the next summit is on october 17. who would be there for britain if a snap election comes first? offering another referendum with a newda m. seek a better dealr leave without one. f eue is no clear sign leaders, dropping the dand that the eu sile market must berotected after bxit. the prime minister has been scribed as bringing new focus and new determination to brexit. erhe has acced the journey towards new risks. its say nedangers. it is of the kind no one h seen before. laura: i a joined by former state department official who now the brookings institution. as eu leaders in brussels watch what is going on in britain tonight, what are they to make of it? >> i think that they are continuing to be perplexed by all of e e rliamentary chao

jeremy corbyn and that nec meeting thatis jeremy corbyn and that nec meeting that is taking place asdiscussion about what will happen to tom watson's job and therefore not rush the decision that could have been as this afternoon to get rid of it. i understand that that momentum, who are thejeremy corbyn's supporting group, who had been spearheading this plot to get rid of thomason are happy with what arejeremy corbyn is suggesting and so are withdrawing their motion, which would have got rid of tom watson's job, potentially later this afternoon. it looks, and it is not confirmed that that meeting is taking place and god knows, in politics anything can happen, but it looks, for the moment, like that plot to get rid of thomason might be. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts.

and the options open for jeremy corbyn. well, these events. and the options open forjeremy corbyn. years. even on monday he said in all circumstances he backed election. by tuesday, it has to be pegged to this no deal legislation. by thursday, the legislation. by thursday, the legislation is going through tomorrow. actually, now we might not back it when that goes through. so every day we are getting a different position from jeremy corbyn on an election. he has a strong message, vote labour, just hold on. and there are tensions within labour, and these are kind of drawn out in this telegraph story about whether to go early or late, whether to grant boris johnson's wish and early or late, whether to grant borisjohnson‘s wish and have an election, becausejeremy corbyn and his ilk still think they can smash johnson, and the other side of the shadow cabinet, the starmers and the mcdonnell, saying let him go beyond 31 october, and then they are dead. and all the attention is on the snp, on whether they grant him his wish and go early. because in an election in scotland, they are quite

and you want jeremy corbyn to be the next prime minister of the uk?e institution looks tainted by anti—semitism because we cannot deal with cases like pete weldment but i don't thinkjeremy personally is anti—semitic and i think he would bea is anti—semitic and i think he would be a better prime minister than borisjohnson. be a better prime minister than boris johnson. lord falconer, we have to end their but thank you very much for being on hardtalk. hello there. this week has been very changeable up—and—down temperatures, one day sunny and the next day windy and wet. it looks like we are ending the week in fact on friday with wetter and windier weather for many but as a band of rain slip southwards we will see return to sunshine with our showers as well. it's courtesy of this next area of low pressure moving in. to the north of scotland where the isobars are closer together. windy conditions through friday and this band of rain first thing friday morning will be across more central areas, spreading slowly southwards and eastwards as the day wears on.

that is what jeremy corbyn wants. remain is the only path forward, the path needs to be more pro-remain. he certainly said that he cannot see any other deal other than remain dividing the same level of benefits to the u.k. economy. that is an area of disagreement that is at the heart of what has been decided here. more than three years since the brexit vote. we don't have a firm policy of leave or remain from the uk's official opposition party. mix, update in the on renationalization. we don't have a formula on how investors will be re-compensated. there are a lot of other policy items on the agenda. it wants to block a new deal brexit. that is something that will return to the house of commons in the middle of october. that is in the hands of the supreme court. we look to london for guidance. the brexit decision hanging heavy over the south coast of england and the labour party conference. nejra: anna edwards, thank you so much. joining me is valentin marinov. welcome. what are you looking for at the labour party con

the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has sought to play down divisions in his top team after one of his he's resigning. it comes as the party prepares to debate brexit. here's our political correspondent nick eardley. not everything here is going according to plan. jeremy corbyn wants to persuade you he is ready for power, but one of his key aides has raised concerns. andrew fisher, still by mr corbyn‘s side this morning, is quitting, privately accusing the leader's team of a blizzard of lies and saying he no longer has faith in them. i have obviously seen the words that andrew wrote, and i discussed them with him at some length. why do you think he said that? i think he said that because he was extremely distressed at that point about whatever was going on in discussions in the office at that moment. jeremy corbyn would much rather focus on his policies, but the start of the conference has been dominated by controversy. yesterday, there was a foiled plot mr corbyn‘s left—wing allies to get rid of his outspoken deputy, tom watson. it wasn't a move against him specifically, but concerns

jeremy corbyn.pe the prime minister will reflect on the issue of prorogation and shutting down parliament to avoid a government being held to account, because that is exactly what he has done today and proposes to do to this country. point of order, ian blackford. thank you, mr speaker. ishould, perhaps, congratulate the prime minister, because at least he has been consistent. he has lost every vote he has brought to this house. ever since he became prime minister. perhaps that's the reason, mr speaker, that he is trying to shut down democracy this evening. the message that must go to the prime minister is, well, he can run for the next few weeks, but we will back here in october. he is the prime minister of a minority government and he has been given an instruction that he is to go to brussels and get an extension. once that extension has been delivered, we will have an election and boris will be swept from government. the people of scotla nd from government. the people of scotland will get there s
