it's a plan theresa may is now desperate to sell.oing as prime minister, what we're doing as a government, and what we did here at chequers in putting the plan together, is put a plan together that delivers on the vote that people took. because it means an end to free movement, an end tojurisdiction of the court, an end to sending vast sums of money every year, and all the other things like coming out of the fisheries policy, the agricultural policy and so forth. but at the same time, we're able to protect jobs and livelihoods. but first theresa may's cabinet, and then her party, have been split by the chequers plan. it's complicated, it's long, but at its heart a simple aim — to make sure that the new borders that will spring up between brexit britain and the eu don't destroy thousands of manufacturing jobs and don't undermine peace in northern ireland. it was a compromise with the eu. for many, a compromise too far. we had blinked first, and i think chequers was a sign we'd blinked first. blinked how? because we conceded that we wo

yes and no. -- borisjohnson versus theresa may. boris johnson versus versus theresa may. yes and no. -- borisjohnson versus theresa may. i wouldn't want to suggest the sunday times is slightly over reading this. warisjohnson is times is slightly over reading this. waris johnson is not times is slightly over reading this. warisjohnson is not going to launch a leadership challenge. —— boris johnson. there is no suggestion mps are thinking about that. i think she is safe for the moment. he has got his disagreements, which are well—known, the shape of brexit. but she is prime minister and she has got to negotiate it. he may well get a very well attended fringe meeting on tuesday. but then the delegates, sorry, the representatives, will go home on wednesday and nothing will have changed. yes, they have to different interviews. boris doesn't seem to be going for theresa may at the moment, he is going for her brexit plan but not the prime minister herself. he is going for her through her brexit plan, given that this is the main item on th

conference at the weekend and theresa may is expected to give and theresa may is expected to give apeech that sentence on immigration in the future for immigration in the future for immigration post brexit. and that was one of the cabinet was a with the va about. it seems very unlikely that the cabinet meeting will not be about that, it's almost certainly likely to be dealing with the fallout of what happened that salzburg. there are certainly people around the cabinet table who have been sceptical about the checkers brand. many of them may use this as an opportunity to say, it's time to let go and time to find an option b done for them all at of them, their preferred option is a canada style free trade deal which has some serious implications for the irish border. i think that's right. they will have to use this opportunity to look again at checkers because the curious thing about theresa may's statement today was putting aside the tone of it which was very combative, she was essentially saying, this is my offer and i'm not going to budge which is really frankly an impossibility. s

that is essentially his position and it is a real dilemma for theresa may.n't get these issues sorted before october and november than the uk will come close to having no deal with the european union, and that means effectively what it says, no deal means we won't have a framework to go forward, we won't have a transition period which has provisionally been agreed between the eu and our government, which means nothing will change between the eu and the uk until the end of 2020. so the stakes are really high here and although in any negotiation both sides will talk tough and eventually we should come to some sort of deal, given barnier‘s comments today and boris johnson's comments today and boris johnson's comments the other day, theresa may finds herself in an impossible position. when you see these headlines, it is immensely combated between the uk and the eu 27, but you see barnier and raab, at those press c0 nfe re nces you see barnier and raab, at those press conferences they give, and it is very cordial. i think time is running out, and as the point was

amber rudd run the department, she carried on with what theresa may did, she couldn't stand up to theresaterms of where it stands in the pecking order in people's mines, is it beginning to move up? you mentioned london —— people's mines. in london it's very current. some of the stabbings of young people over the summer and over 2018 have been horrific. it is difficult not to be deeply moved by some of those crimes. to think that it is any way linked to funding cuts, which is an argument that lots of people put forward, itjust means it isa of people put forward, itjust means it is a very live issue, something that will definitely shape the upcoming mayor of london selection. i wanted to point out a little thing in this article, when you talk about cuts. tangible things, it means fewer breathalyser test, fewer fixed penalty notices, fewer convictions for drugs trafficking and possession. these are really important things and particularly fewer convictions for drug trafficking and if that is a direct link we should be really worried about that. let's move back to the guardian there. women in

i'm not sure theresa may will beafan done.unt. thank you. theresa may goes to her party conference in two weeks still can't get to that chequers fine but it will be so much easier to resist the eu if she could find some support within her own party and as we know there are remainers and as we know there are remainers and brexiteers that don't like the plan at all. thank you. sport now and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's hugh. we're in the midst of another night of european football. with four british clubs involved in the first game of the europa league group stage. two early games... two late... chelsea started very quickly in greece against paok salonika. willian‘s goal in the seventh minute was the only one of the game... it could have been much more. they keep up their 100% record in all competitions so far this season. there was also an early goal in rangers match. but they were 1—0 down in the first minute to villarreal in spain. scott arfield levelled things up in the second half. before steven ge

not boris johnson, theresa may, replacing her with boris johnson or someone johnson, theresa may, replacingtinct possibilities. the same story effectively in the mail on sunday, isn't it, they're big front—page lead, pm rumbles boris plotted to alistair, johnson's gurus shut chequers agreement... pretty much the same story. stronger language. may versus boris, going in oi'i language. may versus boris, going in on boris is popularity since he resigned, lots of people saying he's been acting from the lynton crosby playbook they go into all of that, apparently they are targeting eurosceptic donors. it's really sort of setting him up as masterminding this comeback of boris but you have to ask whether he will be a less divisive leader, is he really for the party needs? has his popularity soared since he left government? amongst tory party members it certainly has, amongst them, the voting public, it's more questionable. this is a sort of punchy version of the other story that includes the line boris hasn't thought this through, imagine that, borisjohnson doing thought this through, imagine that,

the dilemma for theresa may is that these two factions have daggers drawn, it seems.em to be any willingness to compromise at all. adding in the fact that the eu appears to be in no mood to compromises with the uk, she has got a tough task in front of her over the next six months. i find it hard to give this story are a lot of credence. i am to give this story are a lot of credence. lam not to give this story are a lot of credence. i am not doubting the actual accuracy of what they are reporting, but what it would actually amount to. the timing but it is impossible, it would seem, because brexit is going to happen, unless there is some somatic change very rapidly. —— the dramatic change. you would have to have an election before brexit day in march next year. you would have to have the formation of a new party to fight that. it is heart is the value could really develop a new party and timeframe election. —— it is hard to see how you could. and all that would really risk doing is splitting the right of centre vote, how would that benefit anybody? you are towing more q

the uk is on its way out of this club but theresa may is finding this club but theresa may is findingt. and remember this is the most important thing, policy, project, that theresa may is trying to achieve and it will have where it ends upa achieve and it will have where it ends up a huge impact on all of our lives. now, the rejection from eu leaders was not what no 10 was expecting and the really tricky thing is it is notjust the eu that doesn't like it, big chunks of her party at home don't like it, labour and the other opposition parties don't like it, so you have to ask the question now, who is actually going to stand up for her proposals apart from theresa may who feels very lonely tonight? of course, in negotiations there is always an element of huffing and puffing but no leader wants to be running short of breath at such a vital time. laura kuenssberg, thank you. our europe editor katya adler. where do we go from here?! where do we go from here? . two major sticking points for the eu on the checkers deal, theresa may's economic proposals in her checkers brexit plan for a new tr

but they insist that theresa may is standing firm. soi insist that theresa may is standing firm.undreds of mps who do not back that option of no deal. they will do anything to stop that being what happens, and there will be, some would say, many in the cabinet who would do anything to stop that being what happens to the united kingdom. so you would think you would have to bear that in mind in all of this, that there is no backing and no warm words for the so—called cheggers plan. but there is also no backing for a no deal. how then that resolves itself is another matter and there certainly many who think that the prospect of another referendum is the way out of it, although theresa may being very adamant today that that wasn't an option. i spoke to a cabin and esther earlier who said there were many figures in the eu who had been listening to people like nick clegg and others, some of whom had even gone to brussels, they have been listening to them talking about the another referendum, and he thinks that ron lee the eu believe that that ron lee the eu believe that thatis that ron

he is preparing to go some rounds with theresa may on this and it is sizing up theresa may on this and theresa may on this and it is sizing up to be a continuing battle of the tory party. he gave himself freedom to do that by stepping down as foreign secretary but what is he saying we should have done? that is not entirely clear. he has repeatedly paid £250,000 a year to write a daily column for the daily telegraph, so it is not surprising that this lasted over the front page but effectively what they are saying is theresa may's checkers plan which she announced earlier in the summer would allow the uk to continue to alight to eu standards means that the uk is not free from european union and that the uk will not be able to negotiate trade deals which he and other brexiteer say was the real prize of leaving the european union and leave us in a vassal state where we will take instructions and standards from the eu without having any say overthem. standards from the eu without having any say over them. what he is proposing as a canada plus bill, it will effectively... he is complaining b

how does theresa may stop him?ier, documents they say are on his sex life, 4000 words. do you think it is in existence? some of the revelations apparently in the dossier can be found in the two biographies of boris johnson! dossier can be found in the two biographies of borisjohnson! there isa biographies of borisjohnson! there is a lot of established fact about his affairs and lying on why he was fired from a newspaperjob and the shadow cabinet, under michael howard, all this stuff is established fact and this is something theresa may found to use in 2016just after the something theresa may found to use in 2016 just after the referendum with the tory leadership contest and she thought boris was the person to beat that she did not needed because michael gove knifed him in the back and he pulled out. maybe she is dusting it down now to use it again. what we were told by mps, the latest affair and news of the divorce, it probably would not change things. i think there is something different and it is suggested the re

theresa may's pla ns after a detailed response to theresa may's plans after the so—called checkers planshe so—called checkers plan was largely dismissed by eu leaders at the salzburg summit on thursday. last night, european council president donald tusk said the british had really known about the british had really known about the eu's objections, but he insisted a brexit deal was still possible. mr hunt said brussels needed to stop dramatising the situation. what theresa may is saying is, don't mistake british politeness for weakness, and if you put us in a difficult corner, we will stand our ground. that's the kind of country we are. but that means we need to get the tone right, and insulting her, insulting the british people on social media, getting into these stand—offs where you are calling people liars and so on, is not the way that we are going to... you are referring in part to the instagram photo that was posted by the president of the european council president, donald tusk, about the cakes and no cherries and so about the cakes and no cherries and so on? yes, and basically, if

it is boris versus theresa orjohnson versus me.hat get away with just a first name. theresa may has also done an interview, they are talking about her fighting back but she seems to be sticking to her plan. absolutely, and she is quite bright too. it is the only plan on which you could negotiate with the eu. boris 's idea, his so—called super canada thing sounds slick and delightful and he has done a four and a half thousand word article this week explaining it which had all it points in it. which would be all it points in it. which would be a much looser arrangement. yes, but it is something of the eu will not acce pt it is something of the eu will not accept that in effect he is arguing that we should leave without a deal. if he argued for that, me isa me is a bit land, her interview on the front page. there was a bit about charging more to foreign buyers. 0k, about charging more to foreign buyers. ok, that bland. then this idea of a nationwide festival of innovation and culture starting in january 2022 which is conveniently for

they are helping theresa may stay in power.nk is crucially important, and this is how they received what mr barnier had to say today. a crucial, if fundamental point about the eu backstop which mr barnier is adhering to is that it would separate northern ireland into a separate customs regime and regulator in regime from the rest of the united kingdom. so that is u na cce pta ble the united kingdom. so that is unacceptable and the prime minister has said it is unacceptable to any british prime minister. the labour party have made that clear as well. what the eu need to do now is to recognise that it can't keep the single market of europe at the expense of dividing up the single market of the united kingdom, that can't happen. if that wasn't enough, theresa may had come up with her so—called chequers deal, but the problem is that that is not pleasing anybody. on the one side she's got people who campaigned for remain saying, this is pointless, we're still going to be taking the rules from the eu, that's what brexiteers think as

what the deal at the end does not mean a coup against theresa may, germans want to theresa may to continue can because the alternative is nobody who beckons as a likely leader. and so the main line is, keep her in power. how they will go about that, depending on the commission and michel barnier, is beyond to tell. but they will certainly be in of somebody or other, because it would be just as catastrophic for europe as for britain, and i cannot conceive in my mind, it would require a huge suspension of disbelief to think that europe would allow a no deal scenario to emerge. i don't think that we will, definitely not. it will hurt us as much as everyone in britain. no, but there is fear that a jacob rees—mogg government might go in that direction, so in that sense throwing a lifeline to may would make sense, because it is the least worst. the practicalities are that, i think the european union and the individual states have left things to michel barnier with the assumption that, by about now, things would be in a very political, classic will european union wait, just fixed or fudged. there

theresa may was not too pleased. look at what they said. >> let there be no doubt that as i have always said we are preparing for no deal so that if we get the position where it is not possible to reach a deal, the british people can become we have done -- the confidence we have done what is necessary. alix: we were not laughing at you by the way. [laughter] david: i am laughing at myself. come on. lisa: you are right. it is a big deal. theresa may, what is her negotiating power? she can say we want this and that. her political power is waning. you are trying to navigate that heading into a november meeting with a week leader. david: the eu keeps saying this is not good enough. she keeps coming back with the same deal. what are you doing? romaine: while she was speaking, macron was speaking in another room down the hall from this, calling a lot of the brexit supporters liars. those were his words. this a talking about couple weeks ago. lisa: and a couple of weeks before. romaine: it looked like they were laying out t

plot to replace theresa may with boris johnson?portant plot to replace theresa may with borisjohnson? an important thing to note is what we heard from liam fox earlier on today on the andrew marr show. he said the thing about changing the leader is the arithmetic does not change. he means the conservative party does not have the conservative party does not have the numbers in parliament to be able to push through whatever it wants to push through an brexit. it needs consensus from within parliament from across different parties. whoever the leader is they would have to do that. although theresa may is constantly under pressure and talk of plots, at this stage it does not look as though this would happen, certainly before we get to the point where there is or is not a deal. the former labour prime minister gordon brown has weighed into his party's anti—semitism row. he says it should adopt an internationally agreed definition of anti—semitism. tensions within labour over the issue have intensified following the decision by the long—

theresa may ambushed, theresa may nervous and angry, humiliated, left visibly furious, i mean that's what we're dealing with here. this is the worst day she has had, the worst morning paper headline she has had since the election. since the election. not the day we were told it was going to be. for some reason she seems to have believed that she was going to be much better received than she has been. now, somewhere her intelligence is letting her down. because actually, if you think back over the last few weeks, the eu leaders have always said the plan is not going to work but it's a starting point. and it could well be that she has gone in and saying look, this is it, this is our plan, we have got to make it work. rather than having listened to the voices that have been out there from the european leaders saying this is just the start. you are going to have to make more concessions and then she's under pressure from the extreme brexiteers who are saying, this is a step too far already, you can go any further. and she has really got herself into this position of not having any room f

. hour, theresa may versus boris johnson.t, the tory conference approaching, boris johnson versus theresa may, and mps come back from the long summer holiday tomorrow, and theresa may hoped it would calm everything down and give them a chance to reflect and give them a chance to reflect and we would come back and get checkers through the door and get on with brexit, instead she is walking back into a knife fight. boris johnson taking on theresa may and it will be quite an extraordinary run into conference —— chequers. will be quite an extraordinary run into conference -- chequers. how do you see it? the same way, boris johnson unleash now, i don't think many thought he was particularly... people thought he was very forthright and being in cabinet didn't stop that, now that he is out with the telegraph column he can do what he likes and now it is at this point a bid for the leadership. he has that are few stumbling blocks and now he is hitting his stride in going for theresa may and making himself a nuisance in her eyes and as

‘ express which has a stark image of boris johnson on one side and theresa may on the other.es, boris johnson has gone so far this time that theresa may has been forced to slap him down, so it seems that the tories are in open revolt, with those on both sides, no one seems to be happy with the chequers plan and it is difficult to say if borisjohnson is ready going to the leadership or just desperate to forge his own way forward and ready does care about brexit. is this the start of all old asia's bid for number ten? sta rt start of an audacious bid for number ten? in public, leaver thirimanne crow will say he isn't bad in reality we are gearing up for a bloodbath and an amazing time. they may not sakes busily this is a leadership bid but theresa may is so wedded to any macro —— they may not necessarily say this is a leadership bid but theresa may is so wedded to chequers, her way or the highway, bid but theresa may is so wedded to chequers, herway orthe highway, so there you go. does get to the port that boris johnson there you go. does get to the port that borisjohnson almos

janet, did theresa may overplay her hand with this big my deal or no deal?to fly, that's not the issue. the issue is how it was treated by the eu figures who definitely overplayed their hand. they have now reinvigorated the credibility of her leadership to an extent that i never dreamed possible last week. macron's use of the word "liars" about a significant proportion of the political class in this country was extraordinary, that's the kind of language you use when you are about to declare war on another country, not in trade negotiations. they have not said anything different from the last two years, that is the problem. there has been absolutely no movement, absolutely no attempt. negotiation is a french word, right? we should know that what they call cherry picking is you like some bits, you don't like other bits. the idea that you don't budge on anything, the british think they're doing politics, the europeans are doing theology. that's the difference. this is a franco—german metaphysical system. when macron talks about the integrity of the single marke

so for theresa may, this autumn is a com plete theresa may, this autumn is a complete medical minefield months. and the looming political showdowns feature in many of tomorrow's front pages. let's take a quick look. the daily telegraph leads with borisjohnson‘s comments about the prime minister's chequers plan, which the former foreign secretary says will mean britain gets diddly squat from the eu. the independent has an exclusive. it says hundreds of staff have left the brexit department, with half the total number of staff leaving their posts. the i leads with what it says is the prime minister's fight to keep her brexit plan alive. and the metro carries comments from the eu's chief negotiator with this headline — barnier rubble. we will have a more in—depth look at the papers at 11:30pm. hundreds of prison staff have been caught smuggling drugs, weapons and other banned items into jails in england and wales over the last six year. the new figures, which were obtained through a freedom of information request by the observer newspaper, show an 50% increase since 2012. ben ando reports.

theresa may putting it to europe.n capitol hill on the confirmation of brett kavanaugh and president trump calls the question on china. first, london. we had a dramatic announcement from theresa may as she said she is sticking to her core, is this where we need to get to where brexit? >> it has been humiliating week for theresa may as she woke up to gruesome headlines in the newspapers after a terrible summit in salzburg, austria where she went hoping to have warm words from her fellow eu leaders but they rejected her so-called brexit plan for a future and she has come out and set it is not good enough and you need to show me some respect. she was angry and annoyed.

it has been warfor quite a theresa may, now it is war.ris has made his most personal attack yet on theresa may. he says he is calling her exit mac plan arranged, quite strong language —— brexit planet deranged. although they campaigned for it, this is a quote for how much he believes so passionately in it, i believe in it, i think it is the right thing for our country and what is happening now is not what people we re is happening now is not what people were promised in 2016. not only does he do that, he also sets out a domestic agenda, which involves doing things like building a bridge to ireland. really interesting this morning. building a bridge to ireland, they also wanted adam airport on an island... if this is a war, it is a battle of the bad ideas! a bridge to ireland... we have been thinking of this all morning! and then a festival of brexit britain. this is theresa may's idea, to get everyone excited in 2022. whether she will still be there or not, i suspect it is a low ask... but interestingly, the festival will pump billions in

would they be remain or theresa may's deal?d question, remain, leave under theresa may's deal if there is one, and leave. if you go down that route, you have quite a lot of difficult decisions to make about what would be a sufficient vote to get through, and which one would be acceptable. if remain were to win, be leaves would say, let's have another referendum, we will have the best thank you for your time. thank you very much. —— we will have the best—of—3. brexit will be one of the key issues on the agenda at the labour party conference , which begins in liverpool this weekend , with the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell, accusing the government of being out of its depth, in its handling of the uk's withdrawal from the eu. our political correspondent, vicki young, reports from liverpool. stop brexit! vicki young, reports from liverpool. a call from outside this conference that will be echoed by many inside. some labour mps and unions are putting pressure on the labour leadership to change its approach to brexit and back the pe

this isa demand plan b from theresa may.this, it was supposed to be about setting out the uk's post—brexit immigration plan. that is what the meeting was supposed to discuss. it is likely it will not discuss it at all. it will discuss the fallout of the eu's rejection of the chapters plan or on the face of it rejection of it. there will be, voices around that cabinet table, who have always had doubts about the cheque is planned, michael gove, liam fox, penny mautz doom, they are people who have had their doubts —— chack is planned. they will be asking are you sure this is the right plan and should we start looking at other options? she isjuggling a lot. she is having to send a message to the eu as well as managing a party. we were speaking earlier to a journalist from the irish times. theirfront earlier to a journalist from the irish times. their front page said basically be feeling from dublin, that speech was talking to the party more than it was to the eu. that speech was talking to the party more than it was to the eui t

we are expecting that statement from theresa may but now time for the weather.en it was all about storm ali and then it was all about storm ali and then it was all about rain. parts of sheffield had a month's all about rain. parts of sheffield had a months with a brain before that system cleared. it has done so. it's moving off into the north sea but behind it quite a squeeze on the isobars which means it's still pretty windy. the wind is now coming from a north—westerly direction and that really is driving across the country and making a noticeable difference in the feel of the weather. it is a windy afternoon in the cheshire gap through the midlands done under parts of lincolnshire. eventually those winds will ease and sunny spells and scattered showers for the rest of the day. the showers will fade away overnight. lighter winds and fewer showers. temperatures are likely to fall away. single figures in row spots and a cooler started saturday. we start off on saturday on a cooler note but hopefully with some sunny weather around as well. the exception is the fa

why don't they have to meet halfway as theresa may might suggest?t or loathe it, that is simply the reality. it's been clear from the start, you either have a canada style model or you have a european economic area style model. what you do with the european union is agreed a basic foundations, it's like building a house. get the foundations in place, the blueprint, then you can argue about the doors, windows and the colour of the curtains. because the government utterly failed and spent two years arguing amongst themselves, they have not got the basic foundation of a deal in place. if we had gone to the eu from the start which is what i have been saying for years now, saying we need the european economic area as the basic model, we won't solve the northern irish model unless we are in some form of customs union and single market but we need serious reform on the way free movement of labour works. articles 112 and 113 of the agreement actually enable the suspension and reform of any one of the four freedoms that underpin the single market. first you

indeed, it says theresa may and jeremy corbyn face a double coup. what is being said about jeremy corbyn. rebel mps what record a party, and no—confidence vote. —— plot breakaway party. john mcdonnell talking about how sad he is that mps are going to split away. yes, fears about this schism. the problem with this headline is that people might feel a bit of deja vu. this happened in 2016 when labour mps come in the parliamentary party, they voted by a huge number to get rid ofjeremy corbyn and he didn't budge. so why is he going to budge this time? one interesting thing in that piece is that tony blair is going to break his silence in an interview to be broadcast tomorrow on the handling of anti—semitism, and he says to see a situation where thejewish community feels really alienate and anxious, it is a really terrible thing to have done. i think gordon brown in one of the other papers, as well, is going to break his silence as well. that seems to be coming back this week. the other interesting thing in this story, there is another element to it, whi

theresa may prepares to make a live statement, about the future of brexit talks, after the eu summit in salzburg. the other leaders said her proposals wouldn't work. but the brexit secretary argues a deal is still possible. i think we'll all keep our cool, there will be more twists and turns in the brexit story, and we'll keep resolute, keep resolved and keep negotiating. we'll have the latest from westminster and salzburg. also on the programme... for the first time, police admit they did know an undercover officer was having a sexual relationship with an environmental activist. in a ruling that could save the nhs hundreds of millions of pounds doctors can use a cheaper treatment for a debilitating eye condition, after two drug companies lose their case in court. why are there 39 different sets of rules across the uk on what we can and cannot recycle? wolf alice... cheering ..for their album, visions of a life. and indie band wolf alice are surprise winners of the mercury prize, for their album "visions of a life." and coming up in the sport later in the hour on bbc news... we'll ha

european council president, donald tusk, brands theresa may "uncompromising" after she demands respect in brexit negotiations. on the eve of his party conference — the shadow chancellor says labour would completely renationalise the railways. supermarket chain co—op is to scrap plastic carrier bags — replacing them with a compostable version also coming up this hour: a shake up for army training. press—ups and eight—mile marches are out — and exercises replicating the battlefield are in — new physical tests for the british army. she's entered this exam, she's done well and she claims her rightful prize, and she single—handedly has sent the rhs into a bit of a tailspin. who was miss harrison? the rhs wants to track down a woman from the turn of the 20th century — who was refused a gardening scholarship because of her gender. and at 10.30 — the travel show looks back at some of the travel highlights over the last few months — including a once neglected and crime ridden skyscrapper injohannesburg that's now a symbol of success in south africa. hello and very good morning to you. welcome t

that is not going to happen said theresa may. also tried to make it crystal clear that no uk government could ever stomach a separate customs arrangements are part of the uk. she said that's not politically a cce pta ble said that's not politically acceptable and would undermine the uk's constitutional integrity. both sides are urging the other to move but no signs either side is going to do that. and we're back to this problem of northern ireland. a little earlier theresa may spoke to the irish prime minister and this is what he had to say. we had a very good meeting with the prime minister and herteam. time is running good meeting with the prime minister and her team. time is running short. there are proposals for another summit in octoberand there are proposals for another summit in october and november. there are proposals for another summit in octoberand november. we wa nt summit in octoberand november. we want to avoid a no deal scenario and a no—deal brexit but we are preparing for that. we are hiring officials. but we nee

inside the tory brexiteer plot to topple theresa may and make borisjohnson prime plot to topple theresa. plot to topple theresa may and make borisjohnson prime minister. this centres around the er g. and they may not much care for boris and his private life but they are determined to unseat mrs may and put boris in the topjob. how to unseat mrs may and put boris in the top job. how exactly they will get the support that 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 philan

for theresa may, this autumn isa parliament.nefield and it promises to be a very turbulent couple of months. ben wright in westminster, thank you. hundreds of prison staff have been caught smuggling drugs, weapons and other banned items into jails in england and wales over the last six year. the new figures, which were obtained through a freedom of information request by the observer newspaper, show an 50% increase since 2012. ben ando reports. drugs, mobile phones, weapons, tobacco — all considered contraband in prison. friends, relatives, even drones used to be to blame, but increasingly the smuggling is by prison staff. figures from the ministry ofjustice show that over the last six years the number of prison workers found taking contraband into prisons in england and wales has gone up by more than half. in 2012, 45 prison staff were caught smuggling. but five years later, in 2017, that figure had gone up to 71. and the number of drugs finds has trebled, now running at an average of 35 every day. since 2010, the overall priso

warm words for theresa may as they try to pf°p up words for theresa may as they try to prop up beforeconference. but we heard today was a rejection of the claims she's put on the table. absolutely. they have not given the warm words are the hope she would have hoped for. they have given a kick in the shins, really, haven't they? and she did not look happy in that press conference. she looked flustered. she was angry too. a little earlier, i spoke to another one of those here in her own party, jacob rees mogg, does not back her so—called chequers plan. he says he was not the least surprised what happened at the summit. well, so far in the negotiations, every time the eu has dug its heels in, it's got what it's wanted. so you could understand why, from a tactical point of view, the eu has been quite stubborn. i think the time has come for mrs may to say, "this is not going to work. chequers has not landed where i thought it would." we need to go back to the lancaster house speech, back to doing a trade deal that's deliverable and can be passed into law. the house of commons would be sym
