jeremy corbyn declaring mrs may's checkers plan dead echoed by the snp and mrs may insisting she is still again categorically ruling out a second referendum. what are we to make of it all? let's talk it through with the conservative maria caldwell,. this is one of the few as this is for you agreed with jeremy corbyn that checkers is dead and you designed over the issue. jeremy corbyn that checkers is dead and you designed over the issuelj cannot and you designed over the issue.|j cannot see how it will get through parliament and that is not actually deal coming before us, it could be watered down further. brexiteers will not support it, able will not support it so i do not see how the numbers stack up and the eu themselves said they think checkers as dead as well and want to go see it on as dead as well and want to go see itona as dead as well and want to go see it on a free—trade agreements would need to get on with that and checkers as not that deal. if checkers as not that deal. if checkers is dead so as mrs may's premiership. this is aboutjudging the policy not depression. michel barn

so you think mrs may...? in politics, careers normally win. so you think mrs may. . . ?et's not overplay salzburg, we will go on from here to the 18th of october in brussels and then there will be a special summit in the middle of november. i've been to about 100 european summits over my yea rs about 100 european summits over my years as an mvp. the only deals that ever happen are about... absolutely just cornish pasties, parma ham and champagne, all familiar brands which could be possible obstacles to britain's smooth departure from the eu. the place where a product is made can be a very valuable part of the brand, and the eu wants that protected, after brexit. adam fleming reports from one of europe's most famous wine—making regions. if you've celebrated anything recently with a bottle of fizz, and it was champagne, it was produced in this region of france, which has become a battleground in the brexit talks. it's over the eu's system of geographical indications, gis, which protect products that have a link to a particular location. if your patch earns a gi, then no—on

this morning, mike penning, supporter of mrs may, for minister under her, saying that the chequers plana dodo. describing theresa may as deluded if she thinks she'll get it through westminster. this is after we know the ardent brexiteers are already lined up to vote against it. at the same time, a growing group of former remainders are unhappy with it. the dup don't like talk of any sort of compromise. all the opposition parties are lined up against it and you are just left with the thought that mrs may will have to demonstrate houdini like skills of political escapology to get out of this one. 0k. norman, thank you. norman smith at westminster. and we'll have more on the countdown to brexit a little later in the programme. and if you're confused by all the jargon, or any of the brexit terms, go to ourjargon buster on the bbc news website. the rail regulator says nobody took charge when new timetables were introduced in may, leading to weeks of chaos and thousands of services being cancelled. the office of rail and road says network rail, the two train companies involved, and the depart

mrs may, too.ng towards each other and if they can strike a deal, it is possible you could get a withdrawal agreement done and dusted by the end of the year. the problem then is, can you get it through parliament? there are, the signs are pretty grim for mrs may because we know there is a solid block of tory mps, notjust know there is a solid block of tory mps, not just former brexiteers know there is a solid block of tory mps, notjust former brexiteers but a growing number of former people —— former remain supporting mps who think chequers is not a runner because it is far too much power in the hands of the eu. even if mrs may manages to convince the eu to go ahead with the deal, it is very hard to see how she will get it through parliament. before the days of brexit, we would normally be talking about the domestic agenda ahead of oui’ about the domestic agenda ahead of our party conference. will we hear much about crime, education, the nhs, this week? i'm sure there will be an attempt by minister

strong words from mrs may. what's the reaction been from the eu?ically, eu politicians and diplomats don't recognise, they say, the depiction in the uk media and political circles of the salzburg summit. they say that their objections to key points of the prime minister's brexit chequers proposal was well known before the summit. so they don't see why there we re summit. so they don't see why there were such surprise. the prime minister, in her statement today, singled out donald tusk. he is the president of the european council and he mentioned parts of her proposal as unworkable. but he said, today, that the prime minister was surprisingly tough and uncompromising, those are his words, before the summit and during the summit. in fact, before the summit and during the summit. infact, leaders before the summit and during the summit. in fact, leaders have pointed very much to her tone of "my deal or no deal" to all 27 leaders tonight. mr donald tusk said to me yesterday brexit negotiations are very tough and there's no point pretending otherwise, he

more interesting are the people around mrs may still in cabinet, people like sajid javid, jeremy huntously don't start talking about chequers at all, if it becomes about chequers at all, if it becomes a word they cannot mention and they drop it from conversation and whether they begin to try and create a bit of space for mrs may to start shuffling away from it. we already know thatjeremy shuffling away from it. we already know that jeremy hunt shuffling away from it. we already know thatjeremy hunt in our interview before the conference did not rule out the possibility of a canada not rule out the possibility of a ca na da style not rule out the possibility of a canada style trade deal. what is interesting if you get more members of the cabinet beginning to give house room to an alternative to chequers, then you can begin to see them trying to shuffle mrs may away from this unbending commitment to chequers and i think that will be the real thing to watch at this conference rather than, if you like, some of the headline grabbing antics of borisjohnson some of the headline grabbing anti

it follows a weekend of renewed infighting among conservatives, after boris johnson compared mrs may's strategy to a "suicide vest". our political correspondent, chris mason, reports. that monday morning feeling, rolling up that monday morning feeling, rolling up at work and the weekend instantly a distant memory. as the prime minister arrived in downing street, around the corner, one backbench battle for brexit, a former minister, was claiming: there are almost 80 colleagues already who are willing to vote in the house of commons to protest the chequered deal. it is not leaving the eu properly. and it's notjust mr baker. this man, a former conservative leader, is turning up the volume again. if the whole idea from the downing street unit is that we are going to attack and lash out at everybody, it will be like the old days when we have the maastricht debates, when we ended up plunging out of government. so what is the government's checkers plant, its brexit blueprint? it would involve a common rule book for all goods trade with the eu, a so—called facilitated customs arrangements to t

a free mood ahead of the tory conference, the times says, to further embarrass mrs may. conference, thes mrs may. if you have a free—trade deal it will not solve the irish border and the erg's suppose it proposal for the irish border does not give you a frictionless border. you still have a problem with the good friday agreement, the problem of this danger for one of the countries in the united kingdom and the conservative and unionist party does need to take account of the requirements for peace in northern ireland and on the island of ireland. at the moment, we are in this position where the government has come up with something that might work if the eu could accept it and they can't accept it because it violates the basic rules. there is nothing else on the table. we don't wa nt nothing else on the table. we don't want no deal. parliament won't vote for no deal. so we are reaching an impasse and so we have to find some other potential way forward. the daily mail, david, we are ready to walk away. this is clearly the message to the eu. ok, you have played hardball, message to the eu.

the eu council president donald tusk has responded this evening, saying that mrs may has known for weeksn detail what the eu thinks of her plan, but that a compromise is still possible. our deputy political editor john pienaar reports. theresa may's in a hurry, some say getting nowhere fast landing a brexit deal. so, how to come back from her diplomatic battering — the chorus of eu leaders telling her her brexit plan wouldn't fly. her answer in downing street? defiance — their turn to compromise. britain had rejected the eu's basic demands. uncontrolled immigration from the eu would continue. and we couldn't do trade deals we want with other countries. that would make a mockery of the referendum we had two years ago. she was prime minister of great britain and northern ireland. on no customs border with ireland or on the mainland, there would be no backing down. it is something i will never agree to. indeed, in myjudgement, it is something no british prime minister would ever agree to. if the eu believe i will, they are making a fundamental mistake. mrs may was prepared to walk away from

but even if mrs may does get a deal, and brings it back to parliament, we know there are whole load ofe tory brexiteers who may vote it down. in that scenario, it is the government will say we will be leaving without any agreement, so will say we will be leaving without any agreement, so people will have to factor in that this could really happen. the sort of plans that the government will be setting out today about what it will mean for us in terms of whether we can, i don't know, still drive on the continent, with our driving licences, whether we will need new driving licences, the applications were passports, whether we will still have pet passports, can we take the hound on holiday to france? those nitty—gritty details, actually we have got to start thinking about them. it may not be by design. maybe nobody wants us to leave without any deal, but it is definitely now a real possibility. thank you, norman. let's bring you the rest of the new so let's bring you the rest of the new so far with annita in the bbc newsroom. good morning, everyone. thousands of people are continuing to le

in other words, there are six locks on the labour support for mrs may.gest, is the risk of no deal goes up markedly. because it becomes increasingly hard to see how the prime minister can expect to get any deal through parliament given we know there is a fairly solid block of tory brexiteers determined to vote against may. now sir keir starmer saying, no ifs, vote against may. now sir keir starmersaying, no ifs, no vote against may. now sir keir starmer saying, no ifs, no buts, labour almost certain to vote against her. so joining it all up, and seeing how events can potentially unfold from here, there was speculation over the weekend that the tory party may be goering up that the tory party may be goering upfora snap that the tory party may be goering up for a snap election in november, —— gearing up, labour saying they wa nt —— gearing up, labour saying they want there to the election and if there is not, first shout is parliament to get a vote. does this increasingly look like we will get that end point where we do have a second referendum ? that end

mrs may might have to go, so an immediate tory battle for number ten.e and mrs may and brexiteers say would be a betrayal of democracy. the labour leader's not convinced. it could ignite fury among brexit supporters and as for reversing brexit? the cries of betrayal would be deafening. but some mps on both sides are hoping for even that. this row has the capacity to split the tory party and labour, too. and who knows, deadlock and crisis could conceivably lead to an early general election. brexit‘s the biggest question facing britain since world war ii. if no clear way through is found, it mightjust end where it started, with the people. john pienaar, bbc news, westminster. the leader of ukip has addressed the party conference in birmingham, calling for a "clean exit" from the european union. gerard batten also said it's time to stand up for free speech — against what he described as the "politically correct thought police". mrs may and her cross—party westminster establishment have no intention of fully implementing a complete exit from the european un

that would be to try to get mrs may to change her mind and klopp jackers to try to get mrs may to changekloppjackers but what do you do if she doesn't blink7 and some of them are beginning to think, if mrs may won't get rid of chequers, maybe we are going to have to get rid of her. but even then they face huge hurdles, not least of which, they don't have an obvious candidate, many love boris johnson, many loathe him. they have deep divisions within their own ranks, they risk a backlash from tory activists, they could plunge the government into chaos. as michael gove observed this morning, leadership contests tend to be a bit like the british weather, you just have to throw them off. however, like the british weather, as we know, it can be pretty changeable, too. our ireland correspondent emma vardy is in belfast. what are you hearing about the response to these proposals laid out this morning? well, debriefed largest parties here, the dup and sinn fein, remain as bitterly divided as ever on these brexit proposals. they have been saying that the irish border does not have to be such an ob

a loss of this is not a particularly good news for mrs may.ght well be asking, hang on a second, this was supposed to be our weekend. this piece by oliver wright, what it goes into is the story of yesterday and how went so wrong. there is lovely detail for the reader, probably less lovely for theresa may, where he talks about when the eu 27, the other leaders, went into their lunch to discuss brexit, she had the same lunch, but on her own in her room as room service. it shows, really, and there were pictures yesterday, many viewers will remember them, the line of suits and ben—hur in her redcoat, there has been so much imagery representing britain's isolation —— and ben—hur. she came back with a speech today which showed she would fight back against that image. it has possibly gone some way to resolving that is in view of the domestic audience, whether there was much that happened today, the brutal details in this piece, i'm not sure that has been. one of the things that has been. one of the things that did happen was that the pound, the marke

given that, what do you think are the prospects of mrs may being able to push through her chequers dealfficult to say without seeing the exact terms of an agreement that the prime minister may bring back. also, the context, the alternatives. but it isjust the context, the alternatives. but it is just absolutely vital that the contingencies are properly planned for. so, if there is an agreement and it is voted down in parliament, the government needs to be ready to make sure the basics of our borders can continue to function and flow freely. one other option floated by the labour mair of manchester andy burnham this morning is that if there is no agreement, and we seem to be heading no deal, why not delay article 50? in other words, why not ask for more time to negotiate a better deal? there's a sense of exhaust narration across much of the country not just from leave voters but some remain voters. the sentiment is we made a decision as a country, you've just got to get on with it. indefinitely postponing isn't the right answer. would you go as far as isn't the right answer. would you go

they say hope that the drafts will help mrs may to survive.on where it is all about the prime minister's survival. it is no way to negotiate future. this is what negotiations are light. you say no, no, no, i will go on in some form or another. i can't understand, i really can't. i know it is obviously incredibly complicated. we are on picking an extraordinary complicated jumper. nevertheless, i can't understand why it's taken nevertheless, i can't understand why it's ta ken until nevertheless, i can't understand why it's taken until now to address this issue. because there are so many different opinions, aren't there, about what wrecks it is. -- brexit. yes, it is about negotiations but they have talked about this ritual is -- they have talked about this ritual is —— frictionless border. why is it only being told about now? maybe it has the time the scenes. —— behind the scenes. the telegraph — may's irish brexit plan is a disaster, warns boris. this is about remaining in the customs union to avoid a hard border. part of me thinks that we shou

mrs may backing down. have a listen to the brexit ministerlj mrs may backing down. i am content that it delivers on the referendum result. we seem to be heading towards an inevitable showdown between the anti—chequers tories and mrs may‘s supporters, probably at the party conference in three weeks‘ time because all the indications are that mrs may is determined to press on with chequers, notjust because she regards as the only deal which means the issue of the northern ireland border but is also the only deal that will be sellable to the eu and the deal that she believes will minimise the disruption to british business. but on top of that there isa business. but on top of that there is a personal element of this, she has invested so much it is very hard to see her backing off. some of her critics say this is not about leadership, this is not about replacing mrs may, i think there is a pretty widely held assumption at westminster that if the chequers deal goes down then mrs made probably will go down too. meanwhile, lurking increasingly prominently in the wings is on

writing in a sunday newspaper, ahead of mps returning to parliament this week, mrs may said she would not betray those who voted to leave in referendum two years ago. here's our political correspondent, susana mendonca. she's shown us her moves can be unpredictable, but when it comes to the prospect of a second referendum, theresa may is standing firm and sticking to her tune. the prime minister told the sunday telegraph that two years ago, millions came out to have their say and to ask the question all over again would be a gross betrayal of our democracy. when it comes to her brexit blueprint forged at chequers, mrs may insisted she wouldn't be pushed into accepting compromises that were not in the national interest. but her former brexit secretary, who resigned over chequers, said he will vote against it and that her words leave the way open for compromise. except in the national interest. i mean, your commentators earlier were exactly right. that is an incredible sort of open sesame. you're not going to turn around in the house of commons and say "i agreed this, but it wasn't in t

with a tricky party conference looming, mrs may is being buffeted from all sides. brexit—supporting mps are demanding a change of tack, which means she'll need powerful words to win support for sticking with her chosen plan, so what should she say? we are not going to be able to get everything we want, and neither will the other side, she needs to be very clear about that. and that is why chequers is the right thing to do. she needs to move beyond brexit and explain what the country is going to look like beyond the process, because that's what people really want to hear. solving the northern ireland border issue could prove key to this and the government says it's working on new proposal. but theresa may says any deal cannot divide the province into a separate customs zone from the uk. the eu says it will not accept at solution which unravels its precious single market, so right now, the negotiations seem deadlocked. 0n the eve of his party's conference, the labour leader jeremy corbyn has vowed to put equality at centre stage, with a commitment to measure all poli

we know that they are almost certain to vote against any deal mrs may reaches if she manages to get ann that eventuality the most likely next step is that labour woods campaign for another referendum and on the ballot paper, would there be the option of staying in the eu? that stance earned sir keir huge applause in the hall and it is clear that many ordinary labour party members want a referendum and want to reverse brexit. but it is a strategy with enormous risks. already we are hearing from the brexit supporting labour voices saying the party risks being seen as the party of remain, haemorrhaging support from traditional brexit supporting constituencies. but there is also another serious risk that labour will significantly increase the likelihood of no deal, precisely what they want to avoid. because mrs may has been absolutely clear if a deal is voted down, then the only other option is to leave the eu without any agreement. this was a high—stakes without any agreement. this was a high—sta kes speech which without any agreement. this was a high—stakes speech which seems to me to si

how to unseat mrs may and put boris in the top job.t they need for such a move is unclear, however i wonder if they are a small group that feels because they all believe this must happen, they all believe boris must be in number ten thus it will happen. but the mechanics of removing a leader are much more complex. they need 48 mps to sign up toa complex. they need 48 mps to sign up to a vote of no—confidence and that isa to a vote of no—confidence and that is a lot. they are saying in this piece they have that, 48 people, it's the first i've heard anyone claim that. they are also saying that boris is social life is not a factor. i don't know if you agree or disagree, but it doesn't... john's past social life and his philander rings and his anti—social behaviour or inappropriate behaviour doesn't seem to have harmed him too much. all the opinion polls don't seem to have dented his popularity. and in some ways, and i will probably be land mass is this, boris behaves like a pound shop trump, doesn't he? the fact that it is america rather

battles that are happening within there and mrs may will really have to hold on to that as hard as she can if she's able to push through her deal absolutely ok thanks very much for the update from downing street. so to has had on al-jazeera unfun suchi admits the range of crisis could have been better handled but defends the taming of voices journalists and men mock. and israel makes his fastball right now a palestinian van is slated for demolition. however still got some rather heavy right into the central and southern parts of japan where the systems continue to drive their way from the east china sea yellow sea across the korean peninsula into cuba and into honshu and there will be more heavy rain there for a good part of honshu as because through friday some heavy downpours there to tokyo temperatures around twenty four degrees celsius similar as we go one into sas davis joins us from dry weather coming in to southern pass by this stage further north we've got a fair bit of cloud in the rain there into the east of a rush up the front of dry for the korean peninsula fun to try to fo

colleagues calling for mrs may to be ousted 7 —— colleagues calling for mrs may to be ousted?y happy with the state brexit at the moment but there no consensus in that direction whatsoever. think me to change the ball and not the manticore is a phrase. let's talk universal credit. we had jeremy corbyn same look, the national farmers union, gingerbread, the world and his wife have been critical of universal credit. is it not time to think again?|j critical of universal credit. is it not time to think again? i think we have debated this to death in the chamber over the last 12 months or more, pretty much everybody in the house agrees with the principles of universal credit that were laid out and that it is wrong for people to be in and that it is wrong for people to beina and that it is wrong for people to be in a scenario where they lose money by taking on work or a job and thatis money by taking on work or a job and that is where we are now. so there is no question that universal credit is no question that universal credit is the right thing to do. clearly rolling anything out

do you think mrs may can hang on until brexit is complete?pposed to the brexit plan. borisjohnson wants people opposed to the brexit plan. boris johnson wants a high brexit, nick boles wants a soft brexit. he isa nick boles wants a soft brexit. he is a conservative backbencher who you would expect to support mrs may and her plan. the idea was to get some of the remainers behind it and it seemed that anna soubry was opposed to brexit and have supported it but that seems to be falling away now. the fact they are so split and there is no unified plan they could all get behind this is the worst of all get behind this is the worst of all worlds but they can't agree on the alternatives. do you think mrs may is going to be challenged for the leadership over the next few months? i think it could happen. things are sophie brown at the moment, no 10's nick hope was everybody would come down over the summer but that hasn't happened, i think they are more divided than before she went on her walking holiday and we are hearing that borisjohnson holiday and

mr. pallone: i yield myself such time as i may consume. mr. speaker, i already spoke in support of this bill and the previous one. so at this time, i would like to yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from texas, mr. doggett. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. doggett: i thank the gentleman. i continue to hear from neighbors in my part of texas and beyond who are unable to afford their prescription drugs, lifesaving drugs. they are either cutting pills in half or cutting into necessities or what little savings they may have. after seeking administrative action to address this gag order problem with no success, i introduced with senator stabenow and collins here in the house with 32 colleagues a house bill to do what their measures do today. despite repeated request, the house ways and means committee, which enjoys jurisdiction over this matter with a medicare bill declined to consider them. this particular bill that we are considering now will allow those medicare beneficiaries, seniors, individuals with dis

mrs. may and brexiteers say it would be a betrayal ofmo acy.the labor leader is not convinced it could ignite fury among brexit supporters, and as for reversin brexit, the cries of betrayal would be deafening. some mp's on both sides are hoping for even that. this could split the tory party knowsbor, too, and who deadlock and crisis could lead to an early general election. if no clear way through is found, it might end up where it started, with the people. laura: so many questions still on brexit. yeit is onr since hurricane maria devastated puerto rico and one week since hurricane florence blew ashore in north rolina, causing catastrophic er yet.g which isn't in both cases, volunteers have rushed in to help, among them chef jose andres, who served more than 3 million meals in puerto rico. now he is feeding people in the carolinas. he has written a book about his" past year call fed an island," and he joined me a short time ago. josÉ andres, how did you manage to mobilize this army of chefs in such a short time and feed 100,000 people a day in

mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. donovan: thank you, mr. speaker. the department of homeland security was created in response to the september 11 terrorist attacks and the threats to our homeland posed by al qaeda and other terrorist groups. as we pause this week to honor those we lost and the heroic first responders who answered the call that day, we recognize that the scope of the threat we face has changed dramatically since that time. and it has become a much more diverse and diffuse. we know the terrorist groups have congress strived deploy chemical, bilogical, and nuclear materials in their attacks. there have been documented reports of isis using mustard gas in syria. as well as sarin and chlorine gas used by the syrian government. a lot to release hydrogen sulfide via an improvised chemical disperfection device was uncovered by the australian police department. a laptop reportedly retrieved from an isis hideout in syria in 2014 contained plans for weapo

mrs may, the stakes were high. she had ten minutes.n traps... did we need more drama? course we did! cue the drums. donald tusk, it's fair to say, is not for his overt displays of emotion. but this picture tells a thousand words. and here is the picture released last night of the 28 leaders sitting around this table, locked in discussions, with mrs may, surrounded by these dimly lit arches. does it look familiar? maybe you are thinking of this — the scene from the james bond film spectre where christoph waltz suddenly appears from the shadows. you remember that? or maybe, as the mp andrew gwynne tweeted, you were thinking... # it's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights... the muppets. no pun intended. i was just i wasjust thinking i was just thinking what major garrett was saying. maybe we should be watching brexit as he suggested, cirque du soleil on acid. baby don't make it much more amusing! with the drums! this is beyond 100 days with the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news, we'll b

but mrs may's critics have again piled in to her plan, agreed at chequers, saying it's not the outcome people voted for. you're not really fulfilling the mandate of the people and you're not really coming out of the eu and that would be a real, real shame and i think a bit of a political disaster. and the latest warnings were not limited to the prime minister's opponents. they also include the international monetary fund. the imf‘s warned that the uk economy will be damaged by any brexit, especially a no—deal brexit, and the chancellor urged people to listen. we must heed the clear warnings of the imf and others of the significant cost that not reaching a deal with the eu will have for british jobs and british prosperity. also today, the mp who tried to save the life of a police officer after the westminster bridge attack speaks at the inquests. a special report from the small palestinian village in the west bank, threatened with destruction by the israeli authorities. this is a very nasty scuffle. not lots of people involved but it is very symbolic and all of this is important because
