we are in another whitehall league.aks coming out of whitehall are extraordinary, and they are very, very sensitive information. that has to be borne in mind when we think about the claimant we have in whitehall at the moment, especially when we are talking about how much servants might feel they are being listened to when they are giving very stark advice about the potential impact both civil and economic on the uk of no deal. people are talking about the ability to get medicines being very difficult because there will be so much congestion, and the narrow sea passage where we have to get a lot of shipping through and one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world being blocked by the fact we have to get extra cargo through. and we have roll—on, roll off ports, and you might have a massive lorry at one end and a small van at the other and they have to get through narrow little passages. so there are some really quite troubling things. do we have the storage, do we have the capacity of the right medicines that we have t

i never thought at my age, 61 years of age, i would have to be here in whitehall protesting against thehut—down of parliament. there's been renewed violence in hong kong, with pro—democracy protesters defying a ban on rallying. more than 50 migrants have been detained as they tried to cross the english channel to reach kent. several boats have been intercepted. and in sportsday in half an hour, the latest on the tragic news that formula 2 driver anthoine hubert has been killed in a crash at the belgian grand prix. good evening. demonstrations are taking place across the uk in protest at boris johnson's decision to suspend parliament for five weeks in the run—up to brexit. the government insists it's acting properly, but critics say it's an attempt to by—pass democracy. tens of thousands have taken to the streets from sheffield to swansea, belfast to london. here's our home editor, mark easton. we will shut down the streets! calls for direct action from protesters outside downing street. several thousand people gathered in whitehall, many to voice their opposition to borisjohnson‘s move

mark easton, bbc news, whitehall.dent jessica parker told me what the prime minister might be thinking about today's protests. i think boris johnson and his administration have at least, so far, shown that they are not necessarily ones to shy away from confrontation. no suggestion yet from downing street that these protests today have led to borisjohnson looking out of the window, being pretty worried about what he seen, and thinking of making a u—turn, having second thoughts. of course, there are those — whether it is a court battles or through legislation — who do very much want to take on borisjohnson. these protests lead up to what is going to be a very dramatic week in westminster, where we will see this issue of prorogation played out in the courts. and we will as well see a group of cross—party mps, including likely a number of conservative backbenchers, trying to seize control of the order paper in westminster, and legislate against the possibility of a no—deal brexit. and some of those opposition politicians

mark easton, pbc news, whitehall.stminster. is any of this protest today likely to give the government pause for thought or ability. my head for the suspension of parliament next week? there has been a lot of noise and anger today but does that mean that borisjohnson is anger today but does that mean that boris johnson is looking anger today but does that mean that borisjohnson is looking out of his window, worried by what he sees and having second thoughts? well, the evidence so far suggests this administration isn't exactly afraid ofa administration isn't exactly afraid of a bit of confrontation and in that vein, next week we are set to see court battles but also an almighty confrontation here in westminster as a group of cross— party m ps westminster as a group of cross—party mps are set to try to bring forward legislation to block the possibility of a no—deal brexit in the little town they now have left before parliament is set to be suspended. i think perhaps for those mps, today's protests will be a morale boost

several thousand people gathered in whitehall, many to voice their opposition to borisjohnson's move of britain's scheduled exit from the european union on october 31. stop brexit! the crowds were diverse — cutting across class, age, ethnicity and traditional party politics. today's protest is a reminder of how arguments over brexit represent a reshaping of political discourse in britain. bankers and corporations... who get richer while the workers get poorer. as well as london, there were similar demonstrations in towns and cities across the country. from yorkshire to belfast to bangor. in london, the apparent unity of the crowd disguised divisions over what they were opposed to. the government's suspension of parliament orjust the government? 0pposed to a no—deal brexit or leaving the eu at all? is this about proroguing? is it about brexit or conservatives? a bit of both, really. mainly proroguing and brexit, but a bit of both. are you a supporter of the european union? i am not in support of a bosses club, i am in support of the european workers of greece, spain and italy, but i d

secretary, and effectively the head of the civil service in charge of the machinery of government across whitehallnt apart dust departments. mr corbyn was worried about one possible scenario which could unfold when mps return from their break next month. if a vote of no—confidence is called in the government and that is lost, and a different government cannot be formed by the opposition, mr corbyn oi’ formed by the opposition, mr corbyn or anybody else, then a general election would have to follow the stop the prime minister has set the date for that and there has been speculation number ten would or could allow it to be held just after the brexit deadline of 31 october, meaning that during the election campaign, the uk would leave the eu on that date as is the legal default at the moment. and mr corbyn was worried the government would be able to do that, so he wrote sir mark sedwill, describing that possible scenario as an unprecedented, unconstitutional, and anti—democratic abuse of power by the prime minister. now he has replied, and in a brief letter to mr corbyn, i'll read you a bit of what h

whitehall sources say sonia khan was questioned about government leaks by borisjohnson‘s senior adviserominic cummings. she was then dismissed from downing street, despite no evidence that she was behind the disclosure. our political reporterjohn owen is in our london newsroom. another twist in the drama of politics at the moment. a row right at the heart of boris johnson's government after more details of the dramatic sacking of sonia khan, an advisor to sajid javid, emerged last night. she was escorted out of downing street on thursday evening following her summary thursday evening following her summary dismissal and the removal of her security clearance. she had faced questioning by borisjohnson‘s senior advisor dominic cummings about government lea ks though senior advisor dominic cummings about government leaks though as you say there is no evidence she had in fact leaked sensitive government information. it is now emerged that sajid javid, who had not been told about the sacking in advance, had a heated exchange with borisjohnson with a source saying he had voiced his anger to the

whitehall insiders will remind you of the few protests which unnerved the labour government and the turn—of—the—centuryat was a fuel protest which briefly caused shortages of petrol. this will have been all for nothing for no good reason. i was interested in something you said about culture and identity which brings us to the question of virginia specifically. —— the union specifically. tony blair was advised during the good friday negotiations which had an end to the sectarian armed violence, but there are still extreme is to use violence but it is a small number and certainly not the day—to—day experience that had been for 40 yea rs before. experience that had been for 40 years before. he said that the clever thing about the good friday agreement was that it suspended the issue of identity, you could be irish or british or northern irish and favour of all these things and you could have them simultaneously on the one geographical space in ireland. all that was at risk, is that the big challenge to the union 110w that the big challenge to the union now brexit that it forces people to make choices and

borisjohnson‘s plan to shut the gates of parliament for an extra week or so brought in thousands to whitehallangry that debates won't take place... borisjohnson has got to go! mps will not be able to vote to stand in the prime minister's way. we are bringing forward a new legislative programme on crime, on hospitals, making sure we have the education funding that we need and there will be ample time on both sides of that crucial october the 17th summit, ample time in parliament for mps to debate the eu, to debate brexit and all the other issues. ample time. but scores of mps are furious. suspecting this is about one thing only, closing the commons for some extra days to silence objections to leaving the eu without a deal, and senior tories are part of the resistance. at a time of national crisis, parliament must be able to meet to hold the government to account, to represent our constituents, the electorate, up and down the country and it is profoundly undemocratic to shut parliament down to stop it doing its job. suspending parliament is not acceptable, it's not on. what the prime minister i

the whole point of borisjohnson bringing in dominic cummings is to put some great in the whitehall oysterhange of tone. not that many weeks ago boris johnson had said it was a million to one chance of a no—deal brexit. that was a leadership campaign where we hoped his pronouncement would reflect what he would say in downing street. i certainly thought his rhetoric during the leadership campaign would have been more bullish than when he became prime minister. some of us thought we might say... i don't know what the word is, a softer boris, a return to the borisjohnson we might have seen as london mayor but immediately he came in and was ruthless, getting rid of ardent brexiteer penny mordaunt, liam fox. penny mordaunt of course supported his rival. he brought in people like priti patel, who is, let's say, on the extreme right of the conservative party. there was definitely a no—nonsense approach from the beginning. a lot of people taken aback by that reshuffle and how brutal it was. henry, your paper has a lead story, looking ahead to the possibility of a vote of no confidence in the commo

the details of secret whitehall documents leaked to a newspaper yesterday and presented at a governmentut—of—date worst—case scenario, claim ministers, but visiting a hospital in truro, borisjohnson was vague about the likely disruption. there may well be bumps in the road, but we will be ready to come out on october the 31st — with or without a deal. the prime minister will meet the leaders of france and germany this week, hoping they might yet bend and redo the existing brexit deal. our friends and partners on the other side of the channel are showing a little bit of reluctance, at the moment, to change their position. that's fine, i'm confident that they will, but in the meantime, we have to get ready for a no—deal outcome. but opposition parties say a no—deal brexit should be stopped. and to do that, jeremy corbyn wants mps to bring down the government and back him as an interim prime minister who would then delay brexit and call an election. we will do everything necessary to stop a disastrous no deal, for which this government has no mandate. applause but the lib dems and potentia

i never thought at my age, 61 years of age, i would have to be here in whitehall protesting against theown of parliament. to look after their own interest in a way like this is deeply undemocratic and needs to be fought against. more than 30 protests have been planned across the uk. organisers say they are expecting tens of thousands of people. they are warning of mass civil disobedience and disruption in the coming weeks. the left—wing group momentum is calling for people to occupy bridges and block roads. campaigners say they can't rely on parliamentary process or even the law courts to try to overturn the suspension of parliament. they say they want people out in numbers to show the strength of feeling. critics of the protests believe it is people here who are trying to thwart democracy by stopping brexit. i voted remain but i have been convinced by the argument and the fact that we really ought to get behind decisions made democratically. downing street has insisted there will be ample time for debate ahead of britain leaving the eu. while the protesters now seem to be heading from

whitehall sources say this is a row about personnel, it is not a policy difference, they stress the twohip. they have agreed a complex spending review in a matter of days and they say this row will not disrupt how the two work together. but it does put the spotlight on dominic cummings. he is a controversial figure with a controversial style. he has come into number ten downing st, determined to keep everyone on message. he is bringing some much needed discipline to the government machine that had completely broken down under theresa may, but he is ruffling feathers along the way. vicki young, thanks. vicki young there. there've been a series of arrests of prominent pro—democracy activists and politicians in hong kong, in a sign the authorities are taking an increasingly tough line. they've banned more street protests, due tomorrow. demonstrators first took to the streets three months ago, demanding an end to plans to allow people to be extradited to face trial in mainland china. since then, huge numbers have joined the protests, calling also for free elections and for charges to be dro
