the tory party conference was a great opportunity to reboot the party and, therefore, reboot the countryear sense of direction, and that didn't happen. foreign secretary, is the prime minister going to resign? in recent weeks there has been much speculation about borisjohnson‘s own leadership plans. but in the absence of a standout successor to theresa may, and fear of another general election running deep within the party, this senior mp from the tory backbenches thinks his colleagues must get a grip. there are always tory members of parliament who have been grumbling about leadership. they grumbled about david cameron, they grumbled before that about michael howard. they‘ re now grumbling about theresa may. you always get that. what would you say to your fellow tory mps who think this is the moment to try and depose theresa may? well, i haven't found any yet and i haven't talked to any yet but next week when the house returns i will find them and i'll politely ask them to shut up. at the moment there doesn't seem to be enough momentum among a minority of tory mps to threaten theresa ma

and shoring up her position in the tory party. went out to brussels immediately before that speech and i was talking about things like the four pillars, like how much are we talking about, what of the preoccupations in europe in relation to immigration? is there not room for more work on that, can we not build on that? how far did david cameron go? these kinds of general discussions, and then i went out immediately after theresa may's speech, and they said, "emily, there's no point even talking to you. you're out of the single market, you're out of the customs union, got out of everything. in fact, we don't need two years to negotiate with you, it's just a question of how loud you're going to slam the door and will you stick up two fingers on the way out?" and that's the way... i'm interested, given the complexity of this process and the feeling, certainly in brussels, that it really isn't moving fast enough, who are you talking to in brussels, you and jeremy corbyn and keir starmer? we've talk to people, we've talked to people in

parliament what are delegates at the tory party conference saying about that. well tory party conference delegates really looking at themselves that's really the overarching motto of the tory party conference is my impression they are really looking at why for example have they lost the intellectual momentum they're not discussing only breck's it but they're really one question that looms large about the tory party conference is why is jeremy korb and so successful the country is deeply divided over brics it but also over for example issues like austerity and the labor party just one week ago had a successful conference and the tone is rather muted so breck's it is one issue that people are debating about but really they're looking at themselves and they are asking themselves how can they regain the momentum how can they start leading again at all staying with briggs it for a moment let's go to barbara in brussels what in piper do you think yesterday's vote in the e.u. parliament will have negotiations. it was slowed them down even further i mean when the point

ambition isa tory party. —— poll leads. to sit down and read julius caesar and you will see nothing good will come out of being the one who sticks the knife in the back or... let's move on to donald trump. the iran nuclear deal. i'm not quite sure what these certify means but more importantly, he is going to the demise of his defence secretary and top general, who all think did deal is to 0k. secretary and top general, who all think did deal is to ok. you sound surprised that he is not listening to advice from experts! we are post— expert era in this world so decertify means they have disagreement in the 0bama era where sanctions were removed in exchange for the uranium allowing access —— the iranians allowing access to check out their nuclear materials and itjust check out their nuclear materials and it just means check out their nuclear materials and itjust means the americans check out their nuclear materials and it just means the americans will the actually you are not keeping the end of the bargain, we will very impose

now they say that it isn't going up fast enoughm puts him in a pickle because the pressure on the tory partywith people talking about housing and tuition fees. people like some of the labour party messages from the summer and so the chancellor and foreign minister are under pressure to increase spending significantly. people say, why don't you do something radical on tuition fees to bring back support? those things cost money and if this report is correct, and it is in the ft, a good source, it appears that in one fell swoop, the head room that the chancellor may be thought he had to splash some cash next month has disappeared. and the public sector pay cap as well. we were asking people at the conference last week, various ministers, will the public sector workers, nurses, teachers and doctors, will the cap be lifted, and they were very cautious and now there will be questions over that too. inside the times, page 32, the world section, what's happening in spain and catalonian. a threat to impose direct rule and catalonian from rajoy. a ruling from the cost of traditional court to stop the

i think the tory party... d if you compare it to the labour party next week, where it felt like there was a cult around jeremy corbyn —— last week. obviously he doesn't have the entire support of the parliamentary labour party but he has a huge amount of momentum, sorry to use that word, but he does. there's a sense of whatjeremy says goes and ina way sense of whatjeremy says goes and in a way he is sense of whatjeremy says goes and inaway he isa sense of whatjeremy says goes and in a way he is a unifying figure or they forced him into being a unifying figure and it's the com plete unifying figure and it's the complete opposite with theresa may. she can't really say anything without getting criticised on all sides. but he doesn't have to govern, that's the difference. when harry met meghan ‘s mum, this blair a picture of prince harry and meghan markle's mum, whose name i don't even know. do you know much about this —— blurry. even know. do you know much about this -- blurry. it was a grainy picture. meant to be

there is a poll, he is the tory party's favourite to ta ke he is the tory party's favourite to take overtake overfrom her. channel 4 he is the tory party's favourite to take over from her. channel 4 news is convinced she has at best one—year to remain as prime minister. it is also going to detract from the headlines, they wa nt to detract from the headlines, they want to talk about other things, getting the youth vote. they are obviously in a weaker position than they were one year ago. voters are going to have to move into labour territory to get them? labourer offering everything, but they can't pay for it. we have to listen to the voters. we have spotted that lots of younger voters didn't come over to us, and therefore we have to give them something. the word u—turn is used in almost every paper. we are out of time, but you haven't told us about the other things on your programme! momentum to the big left—wing movement, credited to jeremy corbyn‘s success. john landman who created momentum will also be on the sofa. he is braving the tory party conference. we are also talking about a p

a prankster, a cough, and a disintegrating set derailed theresa may's keynote speech to the tory partyooked vulnerable and exposed, but battled on, and, just as they did yesterday, her cabinet has rallied round. is there a plot against it? i should think not. "should think not", the brexit secretary snapped. she has my full support. there was already heightened tension in the tory party after the snap election that destroyed the conservatives's commons majority, and the prime minister's rotten luck yesterday has got her critics circling again. in public, most people are being pretty loyal. i think in private people are very concerned. i think there will be quite a few people now who will be pretty firmly of the view that she should resign. foreign secretary, is the prime minister going to resign? in recent weeks, there has been much speculation about borisjohnson‘s own leadership plans, but in the absence of a standout who thinkthis isthemement.‘ i haven't found any yet, and i haven't talked to any yet, but next week when the house returns, i will find them and i will politely ask them

there is a wing of the tory party which will never be satisfied. arty which will never be satisfied. they are in power, they are taking us over the cliff. while we are talking about settling bills, let's move to the financial times, capitalism, greed, tax dodgers... this is a bit rich, don't you think, apparently, the former boss of marks & spencer is saying that capitalism has lost its way, and how investors are too focused on the short—term and shareholder value, that is actually what companies are about. they are accountable to their shareholders, because the shareholders own the company. i'm not quite sure... this is an important debate, i'm pleased it is coming out and it is in the financial times. the baroness, who used to be a former minister, now heads up santander, it is time to talk... there is capitalism and there is capitalism, we have a kind which is as wild as the east india company. absolutely crazy. even back then, you know, they were held to account, eventually, saying this is not real, this is not what capitalism is about. capitali

i was thinking today, ahead of that tory party conference, we we re ahead of that tory party conferencet the co nfe re nce we were being told that the conference organisers were asking for for young people that could be announced. were there any? i don't rememberany. announced. were there any? i don't remember any. labour, lib dems and conservatives have all reversed their positions on student funding over the years. they have been in favour and against tuition fees and all the rest of it. it looks like it is one of those subjects in which there is no resolution. the dilemma won't go away. promising the earth, equally, when you're not going to win an election, has all sorts of other consequences. and finally, this is a story that i know will amuse dina slightly, about traffic jams. the cost is £9 billion a year. a p pa re ntly jams. the cost is £9 billion a year. apparently motorways are kept close for too long, particularly after accidents, but also when roadworks have been completed and all the rest of it, it is not being done quicker. as someone who moved here from egypt not so long

the tory party conference was a great opportunity to reboot the party and, therefore, reboot the countrysense of direction, and that didn't happen. foreign secretary, is the prime minister going to resign? in recent weeks there has been much speculation about borisjohnson‘s own leadership plans. but in the absence of a standout successor to theresa may, and fear of another general election running deep within the party, this senior mp from the tory backbenches thinks his colleagues must get a grip. there are always tory members of parliament who have been grumbling about leadership. they grumbled about david cameron, they grumbled before that about michael howard. they‘ re now grumbling about theresa may. you always get that. what would you say to your fellow tory mps who think this is the moment to try and post theresa may? —— depose theresa may. well i haven't found any yet and i haven't talked to any yet but next week when the house returns i will find them and i'll politely ask them to shut up. at the moment there doesn't seem to be enough momentum among a minority of tory mps to thr

that said, part of the problem is because inside the tory party there is very farfrom because insideom universal agreement over exactly what she should be asking for. and in part as well it is because her authority has been under such attack, notjust because of what happened at the tory party conference last week, but also since the general election. the fact is, before she even thinks about what she wants to get out of brussels, theresa may has a job every day really to keep showing her party and the country that he is really in charge. lawro, thank you. the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse has heard that the police were stopped from investigating allegations of child sex abuse against the late sir cyril smith mp. the public hearings examining historic allegations of abuse at the children‘s home in residential school in rochdale has obtained new evidence from mi5. tom symonds reports. in the 1960s, they called him mr rochdale. he became mayor of the town from labour but defected to the liberals. do you want a man to represent uri party robot? in the 60s, represent uri par

this is a story about the tory party machine, looks like they might be hiring matthew elliott, chieftive of vote leave, to perhaps get some more oil into the tory party machine after it didn't go very well in the election. yes, he certainly is one of the big political figures of our time, considering that he turned the brexit referendum around. there's no doubt that one of the triumphs he had during the campaign was to steer the referendum and the leave campaign away from the high torque of sovereignty and the jacob rees moggs of the world to maul bread and butter issues like immigration and things working class voters care about. that is the area that theresa may must be in if she wants to win the next election, keeping the working class voters from going to labour. in that sense it may be a canny move but there are areas where it may not be so. for example, he didn't get on with the other brexiteers, such as dominic cummings, who was sidelined in the campaign, a close ally of michael gove and there are questions over whether that rivalry may come back out. and the tories must targe

but again, we have the sense to night that the tory party is stuck ina daily night that the tory partyattle over what they think the european union without britain should look like, and there is that question, if they cannot persuade each other, how can they persuade each other, how can they persuade the rest of the eu, let alone the rest of us here at home? many thoughts, from westminster, laura kuenssberg. the prime minister has defended the major extension of the government's main welfare reforms, amid concerns from some conservative mps about the impact on claimants. universal credit combines six benefits into a single payment and is being introduced across the uk. as more accounts emerge of the difficulties and delays some people have been experiencing, the labour leaderjeremy corbyn called on theresa may to ‘show some humanity‘ and suspend its implementation. our social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan, has met one woman who's still waiting for payment, months after claiming. hi, holly. hiya. here's your food parcel. thank you. when you've nothing, small mercies can mean e

there is a lot of anxiety about where the tory party finds itself in this political maelstrom.nge is to at once take on jeremy presumably the challenge is to at once take onjeremy corbyn, but also to make space to look backwards and understand why the election didn't go to plan. absolutely right and i'm not sure how close they are to finding the answer to some of those questions. i watched finding the answer to some of those questions. iwatched philip finding the answer to some of those questions. i watched philip hammond ata questions. i watched philip hammond at a fringe event about a hour ago and he said, i am just baffled, kept saying, about why so many young people who voted forjeremy corbyn, would do so knowing the sort of economic solutions he was putting forward , economic solutions he was putting forward, he didn't understand it and urged businesses to swing behind the government and make the case for the free—market. this party is feeling bruised and clearly there are big divisions within its about the fundamental issue facing this government, which is how to approach

that is what macmillan did after pressure at a tory party co nfe re nce after pressure at a tory party. we should do the same. tuition fees. you are a former higher education minister. theresa may says there will be a review of student financing but also lifting the threshold to 25,000. where'd you think we are on the whole issue? jeremy corbyn wants to abolish them. i don't think that is in the interests of young people. in the english system, the students don't pay up english system, the students don't pay up front. it is a gradual repayment pay up front. it is a gradual re payment system. because pay up front. it is a gradual repayment system. because we have this new arrangement that tony blair introduced in the coalition extended, we have more students going to university with more resource behind them. what reza has announced today is help for graduates, meaning graduates would pay less, 9% of earnings were £25,000. that will ease any financial pressures. but destroying that model of graduate repayment that model of graduate repayment that we have isn't in the interest of young p

the worrying thing is the tory party scene to be fighting like cats in a sack all the time. labour party was bad. last week they had a lovely week in comparison! talking of brexit, do you see any connection between brexit and the front of the ft. between brexit and the front of the ft, the collapse of monarch?m between brexit and the front of the ft, the collapse of monarch? if we look at it from a sector perspective monarch is not the only ailing airline within the low—cost industry. dft points out that alitalia have also run into extreme trouble. —— the ft. brexit has battered the pound, we are still down 10% against the dollar which has done nothing for confidence. confidence is reflected very much in leisure industries like travel. and fuel costs and everything else that can be affected if the pound is weaker. the price of oil, exactly. it is not a far stretch but there we re it is not a far stretch but there were clearly internal problems monarch was facing, they had exposure to destinations like egypt, turkey and tunisia, and then the price war in the mediterranean, to

to our home affairs correspondent about that and about questions inevitably for security at the tory partyre working with the police to review the accreditation process and the security arrangements for the party conference. more on that as it comes into us. let's catch up with all of the gay‘s sport news. premier league clubs have been meeting today to discuss how to share money forfuture international broadcasting rights. we understand now and agreement has been arrived at, despite pressure from the leading teams. richard scudamore, the executive chairman, has proposed ending the 25 years of the equal sharing of that income. the so—called big six want their greater global appeal to be reflected in the division of money and they want more finances awarded for higher placed finishes in the table. leicester city's appeal to register adrien silva has been rejected by fifa. the foxes and the football association had asked fifa to ratify the midfielder‘s transfer after the paperwork for the £22 million deadline day move from sporting lisbon was submitted 1a seconds late. but it's been denied a

another election or another leadership race in the tory party could lead to unknown consequences.quences inevitably have ripples in europe. they have all the aces in their hands. they don't need to play them all right now. i'm giving her some leverage. the head of goldman sachs really threw some oil on the fire this week with a little playful tweet from frankfurt saying, quite nice here and i think i'll be spending a lot more time here. not the first time banks have done that kind of thing? no. we now know that 13,000 high—paying jobs from the financial district of london are leaving london. goldman sachs has 6,000 employees in london. they are talking about moving 1,000. this is a real consequence. those jobs and other jobs will fail, too. these are real consequences. i grew up in canada in the 1970s during the quebec independence movement. that is when the bank of montreal moved to toronto. its head office. you are going to see consequences to uncertainty. quebec never left but montreal is still paying. i see parallels. i would like to say something about what you said first. th

the issues and challenges facing the tory party will without doubt emerge.n smith, assistant political editor, is here in manchester. theresa may trying to show the conference is not just theresa may trying to show the conference is notjust about brexit? very much so. they do not want it to be brexit and brexit. because it is a difficult issue, a divisive issue and a draining issue. and frankly it probably bores the pants off many voters to go on and on about it. which is why we have a broader agenda with announcements about situation —— universe tvs. and housing. she has got no money for major domestic initiatives. —— university fees. she lacks a majority to push through radical changes and some in her party are determined to keep banging on about brexit and in particular one brian —— boris johnson. brexit and in particular one brian —— borisjohnson. he has been sketching out new red lines and the signs are given the prime minister appears not to be in any mood to sack him, he will carry on with his outbursts over brexit norman, many thanks. norman smith in

but having a following in the tory party isn't one of them. a reflection of the fact that people who share the views who are perhaps more senior don't really have the guts to strike the blow? no, i think there is genuine support for theresa may to see out the brexit process. that is two years away. anyone making political predictions after two years is daydreaming. she predicted she would fight the next general election in 2022. i think every leader should make that prediction because as soon as you saw with tony blair and david cameron, as soon as you give a time limit to your time in office, you fatally undermine your ability to perform. what did you make about the week's events? i made a joke about the sign falling off. that wasn't the worst bit. the worst was a comedian offering a p45, sacking by your employer, saying it had come from borisjohnson, her foreign secretary, who had kept a low profile and support for the prime minister and then the poor prime minister was struggling with such a terrible cold that it completely distracted. i fe

the tory party conference was a great opportunity to reboot the party and therefore reboot the countrydirection, and that didn't happen, so i'm finding it increasingly difficult to see a way forward. westminster can be a fickle place, where political careers can quickly rise and fall. ever since the election and the loss of her parliamentary majority, there has been talk among tory mp5 about theresa may's future. now a group of her critics are considering a renewed push to persuade her to go. but what remains unclear is whether a critical mass of backbenchers will materialise to try to force her out. foreign secretary, is the prime minister going to resign? if she does go, who takes her place? he's been touted as a potential successor, but he has plenty of opponents, too. talk of leadership does nothing but shift the momentum towards labour, and nobody wants a general election, and nobody wants us to be distracted from the real challenge, which is showing we have a vision for this country for the 21st—century. that's what theresa may wanted to set out in her speech. away from destabili

we had boris johnson dominating the headlines during the tory party conference.is philip hammond's turn. he has written an op—ed for the paper. he sets out how he has the budget coming up next month and there is a lot of pressure on the government to put billions aside to show that they are serious about walking away from the eu if there is no deal. he is making it very clear that, at times like this, where money is tight, that kind of provision is not going to be made yet. so, it is the sort of language thatis yet. so, it is the sort of language that is going to come i imagine, further deepen the rifts that are already splitting the cabinet. jessica, taking politics out of this, as a prudent chancellor, and we all hope that chancellors should be prudent, is this the kind of thing he should be doing? you should be putting aside a kitty for what could be a very rainy monsoon, potentially? one of the things he might argue is that to be a prudent chancellor you have to make choices on what to spend things on. if you think a no deal scenario is less likely, perhaps y

this encapsulates the split in the tory party, george osborne was a conservative chancellor until lastin. this is a chancellor having dinner with his predecessor, all must any other point in british history, that is a sensible thing for the chancellor to do but the fact that merely having better —— dinner with george osborne, and the added element that he isa osborne, and the added element that he is a newspaper editor but the fa ct he is a newspaper editor but the fact that even having dinner with him, that this winds up conservative backbenchers shows how free bradl the party is. a lot of people who are pro—brexit perhaps would be right to have suspicions? philip hammond, he was four remaining, and he is in charge of number 11, he has to see through an enormously costly exercise that might end up with no deal and he has to save money?m you are on the hard brexit, in that camp, you might think there is something untoward. they mightjust be having a social get—together, they might have been talking about how to navigate tricky situations in the cabinet, which they have both been throug

we are live in barcelona to talk independence and we are live for the tory party conference. we also have an all-star guest lined up, john fraher. ellon we speak to jim mal on his new book. we are live in moscow, where john fraher will leave a panel discussion with vladimir putin. in the meantime, we have a packed data check. the dollar is slipping. global stocks seem to be a little bit mixed. what all to do with investors are trying to figure out, who the next fed chair will be. we understand the president has a shortlist of candidates, but they all have very different policy agendas. you have some hawks, you have some doves and they are trying to figure out the most likely will get it. i am also looking at spain. stocks are resuming their decline after the king criticized the catalonian separatists for unaccountable disloyalty. and if you look at spain, the nation's bond yields are rising. in the meantime, we are getting breaking news out of the eurozone. pmi is rising a touch more than expected. predicted a rise were pmi services, 55.6. this is for the month of september.

it might be £60 billion, that is a massive massive political risk and there are about 60—80 tory mps in her partyept that and she has a working majority of six and it only takes six tory mps to ruin her life and make it impossible. i had a chat with someone in number ten who was pondering, will there be a moment when she has to stand up and make a speech and say, the cost of crashing out might be x, the cost of paying to get the deal will be much bigger than we everdream to get the deal will be much bigger than we ever dream dog, but believe me, as prime minister, we have got to do it —— than we ever dream of. my goodness, for her to get that through the tory party and the government will be quite a political fate. —— a political fate. government will be quite a political fate. -- a politicalfate. thanks to our correspondence there. if we haven't answered any of your questions about brexit, remember there is much more background information online through the bbc news app and the bbc news website, but for this edition of outside source, from everyone here, in brussels and in london, goodbye. our
