The personal stories of some extraordinary moments in space exploration. Thats in half an hour. Good evening. The chancellor Philip Hammond says hell resign this week if Boris Johnson becomes the new conservative leader and Prime Minister. Mr hammond says he could never sign up to a no deal brexit, something borisjohnson has refused to rule out. Mr hammond plans to resign on wednesday, just before theresa may leaves downing street. Heres our Political Correspondent chris mason. Philip hammond has been chancellor for the last three years, appointed by theresa may injuly 2016. This was him packing up for the weekend. On wednesday, hell pack up for good. Assuming that borisjohnson becomes the next Prime Minister, i understand that his conditions for serving in his government would include accepting a no deal exit on the 31st of october. That is not something i could ever sign up to. Its very important that a Prime Minister is able to have a chancellor who is closely aligned with him in terms of policy. And i therefore intend to resign to theresa may before she goes to the palace to tender her own resignation on wednesday. The result of the leadership race will be announced on tuesday, but its notjust the chancellor preparing for Prime Ministerjohnson. Others are ready to resign, too. And so, the new leader will face old problems a divided party and this, the border between Northern Ireland and the republic, and the existing insurance policy, the backstop, to keep it as it is under all circumstances. Mrjohnson and plenty of mps hate it. The eu and ireland says its essential. If the approach of the new british Prime Minister is that theyre going to tear up the withdrawal agreement, then i think were in trouble. I think were all in trouble, quite frankly, because thats a little bit like saying, either give me what i want or im going to burn the house down for everybody. Borisjohnson is willing to contemplate a no deal brexit, a prospect that frightens ireland but excites some of his supporters, not least because they hope preparing properly for it means theres a better chance of a better deal. The deal, as it stands right now, is dead, and theres no point in trying to fiddle or twiddle it. The reality is there are huge elements in it which simply are inoperable in the uk. The eu is a masterat hard nosed negotiation. As we now know. And i think we got taken for a ride because we werent. Downing street will be rather busier than this come wednesday afternoon, as one Prime Minister leaves and another arrives. This is the week where everything changes and rather a lot stays the same. Chris mason reporting there. I caught up with chris on all this a little earlier i started by asking him what we can expect, when the new Prime Minister takes office. Theres going be a noisy parliament, with plenty of opposition to the new Prime Minister, and theres going to be quite a lot of conservatives who are happy to rebel, potentially. Different faces being willing to rebel, but adding up to the same problem, which is that a party with barely any majority to speak of does not have a majority at all, ifjust a handful of their own mp decide to vote in a different way orjust to make a lot of noise. So theresa may have spent the last two years looking nervously over a shoulder at people like jacob rees mogg, the brexiteer. If its Prime Ministerjohnson, as we expect, he could be looking over his shoulder at Philip Hammond or david gauke, two people who, sort of, up until now, have kind of reeked of the establishment, if you like, within the conservative party. They would see that as a compliment, others as a criticism and suddenly theyre going to become the rebels, or they could become the rebels. And so yeah, Prime Ministerjohnson or indeed Prime Minister hunt, but particularly Prime Minister johnson given how explicit he has been about being willing to entertain the idea of a no deal brexit, will face so, so many of the same problems as theresa may. So yeah, a change of personnel, but similar problems to wrestle with. And that deadline at the moment remains october 31st. Yeah. And so from mrjohnsons perspective, we know something very significant around that date is going to happen, because he has said, as weve regularly reported, that the uk will leave the European Union on october 31st, with or without a deal. So what has to happen between now and october 31st . Three things, all of which would be quite something. Either he manages to get a new deal with the European Union in a vanishingly short amount of time and get it through parliament. Plenty of people think that is highly unlikely. If he pulled it off, it would be extraordinary. Or he goes for a no deal brexit and he is in, you know, with the volume cranked to the max, the likes of Philip Hammond saying its absolutely terrible and potentially contributing to try and bring down the government. Or he breaks his promise and he says in mid october, corr blimey ive tried my best. You know you can trust me to deliver brexit but labour wont help me, and theres loads of conservatives wont help me and the pesky eu wont help me so im going to have to ask for some more time. Now, would he have the political capacity to be able to survive that kind of volte face . Who knows . Hes politically very nimble and hed have just been elected Prime Minister and he is a brexiteer, and brexiteers might have more faith in him breaking a promise and pleading for more time than they did with theresa may. Or we might go for no deal or we might get a deal. But any one of those three options is quite something. And it is coming quickly. Labour, shall we talk about the opposition for a minute . And another initiative to try and tackle the anti semitism claims that are continually being made against the party. Yes, weve got the familiarity on the conservative side with the wrestle over brexit, under new leadership in the next few days. Familiarity on labour side around these allegations of anti semitism. This whole question that has never gone away, pretty much ever sinceJeremy Corbyn became leader. Whats happened today is he has written to Party Members pointing them to these educational materials, as theyre described. Theyre going to be dreamt up by the party to try and address issues around bigotry, and the first topic theyre going to look at, surprise surprise, is anti semitism and some quite Strong Language from mr corbyn to his Party Members, acknowledging that theres been a problem with anti semitism amongst a small number of his Party Members and a problem amongst a large number of those who perhaps arent familiar with typical anti semitic tropes, and perhaps therefore use them in a more casual way than would be that would be sensible, quite frankly. The context of this is tomorrow, mr corbyn has two really potentially awkward meetings. One with his shadow cabinet, talking about anti semitism and another with the whole Parliamentary Party talking about anti semitism. And there are plenty of labour mp and then broader labour activists who simply thinkJeremy Corbyn hasnt been anywhere near enough to tackle this problem. Now there are others who say that his critics, of which there are many within the party, use the issue of anti semitism as a stick to beat him with, to try and undermine him. And there is an overlap between some of the most vociferous people on anti semitism and some of the most vociferous critics of mr corbyn. But the simple political reality is this is an issue that hasnt gone away for him, and this is his latest attempt to try and grapple with it. Well, as you heard me talking about with chris mason there, the labour party has published new education materials to help its members and supporters identify and confront anti semitism. It comes as the equality and Human Rights Commission is investigating allegations of anti semitism within labour. For more on this, we can speak to richard gold, whos thejewish labour movements northwest education and hejoins me down the line from manchester. Thanks forjoining us. Its a story that will not go away, this one. How useful will these educational materials be . One. How useful will these educational materials be . |j one. How useful will these educational materials be . I think theres definitely a place for education and its needed in the labour party. Unfortunately i feel that what ive seen so far in terms of the leaflet and the course you can go on for £350 is just a sticking plaster and will do very little to solve the problems, which are so little to solve the problems, which are so deep now in the labour party. How likely is it, though, that some people really need to start at the beginning and to be taught very basic understandings of what anti semitism is, before you get onto the deeper problem youre talking about, which looked to be cultural within the party . Talking about, which looked to be culturalwithin the party . Well, lets not forget we are the labour party, a socialist and antiracism party, a party whose members should have a fairly good basic understanding of what prejudice and racism and anti semitism is. So i think that in itself is an issue but the main issue is what the leadership are refusing to do is actually tackled the problem in the labour party which comes from the top downwards. If they want to tackle it, theyve got to look where theyve gone wrong and apologise for it. If you look at the leaflet, there are no examples of specific anti semitism in the labour party. As someone who carried out the british jewish as someone who carried out the britishJewish Movement as someone who carried out the british Jewish Movement training as someone who carried out the britishJewish Movement training to the various groups around the country, the one thing we did was we went through specific examples of councillors and Labour Party Officers who indulged in very anti semitic rhetoric, to show how deep the problem is in the labour party. And this leafletjust totally misses it. How much involvement in trying to combat the problem of anti semitism have jewish trying to combat the problem of anti semitism havejewish groups affiliated to, or part of the labour party, had . The main jewish group, the only one affiliated to the labour party is thejewish labour movement. Were used to run training sessions against anti semitism in constituencies. We were having problems with the labour leadership over this. A couple of years ago they decided not to use us to run training at Labour Party Conference and they tried to get somebody else. Finally they came back to us and said, wed like you to do it but we wa nt said, wed like you to do it but we want you to take out the part about Ken Livingstone because we had him as an example of anti semitism in the labour party. Then you have the labour party actually saying that they knew better than thejewish community and jewish groups around the world with regards to the ihra definition of anti semitism. We tried engaging with the labour party but, you know, untilJeremy Corbyn and the leadership actually take it seriously and want to solve the problem rather than coming up with quick political fixes, then problem rather than coming up with quick politicalfixes, then its very difficult to do so. As you know, the leadership, parts of the leadership say they are trying to tackle it, and theyve done so in a variety of ways. You have the equalities and Human Rights Commission investigating. If you can simply, what must happen to root out the problem . I think the labour party and Jeremy Corbyn must understand why its arisen. We need an independent process to actually tackle the examples, you know, the people in the party who are awaiting disciplinary action, without interference from the top, which often interference from the top, which ofte n loo ks interference from the top, which often looks like its just trying to protect certain members of the labour party. We need an independent process. I dont know what the Human Rights Commission investigation is going to come up with but i would have thought it would be some sort of independent process, with involvement ofjewish of independent process, with involvement of jewish groups, of independent process, with involvement ofjewish groups, in how it is taught in the party. Thanks for joining it is taught in the party. Thanks forjoining us. Police in hong kong have fired tear gas to disperse protestors after another mass protest at the way the territory is being run.

It comes as a recording has emerged of radio exchanges between a Royal Navy Warship and irans revolutionary guard, moments before the stena impero was seized on friday in the strait of hormuz. Paul adams reports. Iranian revolutionary guards boarding the stena impero on friday afternoon, carrying out a two week old threat to seize a british vessel. Iran said the tanker broke the law, the ships owners and the British Government say this simply isnt true. Earlier, tense exchanges as a british warship, hms montrose, attempted to stop the ship being taken. But the revolutionary guards were determined. Hms montrose was too far away to make a difference. The stena impero was sailing through the strait of hormuz in omani waters when it was boarded. It was forced to turn north towards the iranian coast. Translation we followed the ship every second, every minute, and the tanker never Left International waters. We understand that the crew are in relatively Good Condition but its a stressed situation for everyone. A larger british warship, hms duncan, is on its way to the gulf to replace hms montrose, the government facing criticism for failing to protect british shipping. If we want to continue playing a role on the international stage, bearing in mind that threats are changing, all happening just beneath the threshold of all out war, then we must invest more in our defence, including our royal navy. Iranian television has broadcast these pictures showing the tanker now flying an iranian flag. Iranian tv says the investigation could take a month or more. Officials here in whitehall have spent the weekend trying to figure out britains response. The foreign secretaryjeremy hunt is due to make a statement tomorrow.
