Prince andrew has always denied the allegations against him. And tobacco giants Philip Morris international and marlboro maker altria are in talks to re unite to create the Worlds LargestTobacco Company worth over 200 billion thats according to the ft. Lets have a closer look. Should we begin with the opposition parties agreeing to block of noto brexit. But it is a significant coming together . It was a very interesting scene at a church house in westminster with all the parties i think no tory mps were spotted at this event, they were gathered to say they dont like and no deal brexit. They will sit in an alternative parliament if it is provoked. Rory stewart, for example, had said that he would be prepared to convene a parliament there if it was provoked, jab at borisjohnson. Its was provoked, jab at borisjohnson. Its very interesting that come together for this. Obviously the same deity day that nigel farage is banging the drum for the brexit party, and im sure he had a field day with this, the establishment stitched up. What does it mean . Theyve agreed firstly that they will not have first order of their plans to try and shoveJeremy Corbyn in as an alternative Prime Minister. Joe swenson said that is the last order of the issue. Instead they will go for a legislative route in order to try and pass some legislation that they can all agree on. This has echoes of back in march when Yvette Cooper and nick bowles teamed up to get through and basically a day a bill ordering the government to delay brexit. Of course there is so much for dhs, what all can they do . Four dimensional chess. Back in march when that bill was passed, theresa may was ordered to request a delay, but she didnt have to accept it from the eu. It is clear that if such a bill was put there, you can bet borisjohnson would find the loopholes in that bill, so it would be quite a standoff. I spoke to someone be quite a standoff. I spoke to someone from Hansard Society that said ifa someone from Hansard Society that said if a bill went through, which isa said if a bill went through, which is a big if, the Prime Minister would have to listen to them . Would be bound by it. I think we should play this up a bit more. This is a very significant develop in today, we have all the opposition parties all agreeing that they are going to commit to stopping no deal through legislative process initially. And by the way, that was always what they labour was saying. They were always saying they would not vote no confidence until they were assured they had a chance of winning it. So this is a way of basically gathering consensus. This is a way of basically gathering consensus. These parties might disagree on a lot, but one thing they categorically agree on is that fio they categorically agree on is that no deal cannot happen because it would cause so much harm to the country, and because there is not a democratic mandate for it at all. So what we can say for now Going Forward is that which whichever path in these multidimensional chest that you are describing, whichever path is taken, it will almost inevitably result in a general election one way or another popular a note of caution for the second, because obviously the numbers for the churchills declaration who signed it. The numbers for the churchills declaration who signed itm the numbers for the churchills declaration who signed it. It is possibly 200. Im sure we remember the vote back in march when no deal was absolutely crushed by about 400 mps voting against it. We need to give them a chance to come on board. Exactly, which is why it was written to them today. They wont go for the torpedo their own party option until they absently have to. So this legislative process is a means of getting them aboard in any way possible. This is an obvious question, even if you managed to delay the brexit end date, do you change the default option on article 50, there is still no agreement on what happens next, whether you want a deal or to revoke article 50, whether you want an election or referendum, is that not a key problem . It has been so split, Jeremy Corbyn cannot command cross parties support. Neither of those are key issues at the moment. When you are trying to stop no deal, it makes no sense to ask those questions. As those people in the iooiti questions. As those people in the room withjeremy questions. As those people in the room with Jeremy Corbyn, all the opposition leaders said they disagree with lots of things. But one thing they agree on is that this must not happen. This will cause massive harm to the country, there is no democratic mandate for it, it cannot happen. What we do after that, we can figure out after that. Of the priority for this country is to stop the possibility, take the possibility of no deal off the table. Lets move on from the first page, which has given us lots to talk about. A couple of stories here, but the smaller one, johnson risks angering number ten, only the backstop must go from the deal. In no way, this is number tens problem. They do face a big threat from the brexiteers, and it is very hard line pro brexiteers in the government. To put it one way, it is very clear that with the anti no Deal Coalition weve seen, the one thing theyve certainly expressed no interest in doing as a way of stopping no deal is to back a deal that Boris Johnson might stopping no deal is to back a deal that borisjohnson might put forward. Thats not true, some of those who oppose no deal would support a deal. Im speaking that the coalition. A specifically incorrect point to say that. That is one thing they did not say. One way to reach across the aisle is to make sure all the conservatives are with borisjohnson, sure all the conservatives are with Boris Johnson, and all the sure all the conservatives are with borisjohnson, and all the labour mps who went there, different matter. Given this, you may well argue thatjohnson should be worried by brexiteers pointing out that they are not going to have they are not happy with removing the backstop. Imagine he did, then every thing is fine it is problematic if you are brexiteers saying you arent even happy if you remove the backstop, because theres all this other stuff with you leaders making the irish Prime Minister take one for the team. You cant even be sure. Its an interesting thing, i dare suggest there was a bit of confection in the brexit outrage, because the Prime Minister himself voted for theresa mays deal on meaningful vote three, and many other big brexiteers did so. And many other big brexiteers did so. Admittedly they will say this is what they feared that brexit could be lost, delayed endlessly, and endless limo. Who knows, maybe the actions of a coalition could force them to accept a version two of theresa mays deal stop. Them to accept a version two of theresa mays deal stop. Without even pass . Even if it had the angry brexiteers support, which is doubtful, lets say Boris Johnson came back some kind of tinkering with the political declaration around the withdrawal agreement, around the withdrawal agreement, around the withdrawal agreement, around the backstop, which was a wording thing and not an actual thing. Lets say some of these brexiteers came on board, it still would not be enough, it we would still not have the dup, no majority support, it was still not get through. Which is why i am saying whichever of these roads you take, you end up with the general election now. Which brings us onto the other top story in the. Javid announcing a date for the Spending Review next week, which some people say, is borisjohnson preparing for a potential election by spending money . Javid is making clear what the government wants to prioritise, police, schools in the nhs. The co nsta nt police, schools in the nhs. The constant drumbeat in which every day borisjohnson is tweeting about one of these core areas, hammering at home. At the same time, in case people thought this is the Prime Minister and the government pledging all these things, arent we meant to be pulling up the bootstraps and being restrained is make the chancellor is now making clear that it is not a case of blank checks absolutely everyone. It seems like the chancellor is acting like a george osmond, Philip Hammond chancellor with austerity, forgetting there is a Brexit Process in the background. Hammond himself said that a lot of what brexiteers we re said that a lot of what brexiteers were drawn on to fund their hedges, how much we assume the deficit we can afford, stomach the trouble is this former chancellor has said that is all on border patrol. He would argue you have far more to spend than that to balance the books. Its almost like the conservatives think that britain has a really short term memory, that if tori is suddenly say they will spend some money on schools, people wont forget that its been ten years of austerity cuts i have absolutely ravaged schools, placed hospitals in crisis, and taken schools, placed hospitals in crisis, and ta ken police schools, placed hospitals in crisis, and taken police officer. It its not like anyone will forget that anytime soon. This whole thing about the fiscal rule shows you how misguided the whole austerity project has been. We had a Un Special Envoy earlier this year tell the uk that you had plunged children into poverty because of the failed austerity project. The idea that these years after austerity, you would still cling to a fiscal rule rather than borrowing to ease britain out of this recession that it is teetering on the brink of his absolutely absurd economics. Most economics would say that it is entirely the wrong way to go about it. Economics never agree, the old quote. Most of them agree that austerity didnt work, thats the thing. Staying with you for the guardians splash, tori was that Controversial School plans leaked to. The guardian has a leak about a briefing document which was dated 22 august, marked official sensitive, and it has policy proposals for the conservatives about various plans for schools, some of which are funding but significantly fall short of the cuts that were already made to schools. Worryingly there is a package of disciplinary measures referred to more infuse the micro emphasis on exclusions. Exclusions have already been spiralling in incredibly troubling, and are as a result of austerity again, schools cannot afford the kind of pastoral and extra care that some children need as a result of which they are being excluded was not a terrible problem, having a terrible impact on kids. And the idea that the conservatives want to expand that is deeply troubling. Peter . Imjust struck by Gavin Williams and being associated with another leak story. Anyone care to expand on that . Essentially because of the reporting on huawei and the circumstances in which mr williamson found himself out as defence secretary. Im reading myjoke, sorry. Out as defence secretary. Im reading my joke, sorry. We will come back to that in an hour. I want to very quickly bring in one more very serious story, which is of course the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein case. The metro, andrew knows what hes done. Prince andrew has denied any allegations against him. But the story is not going away, is it . Its not, and this is victoria goo free, who was in court virginia, today in new york. She and a dozen other women arent claiming that they were abused or sexually exploited by the now deceased Jeffrey Epstein. She has now mentioned Prince Andrew specifically. But of course, this has wider significance in the sense that this is the first time that these women will have spoken out in court. They are having their day in court. They are having their day in court over this, having previously been silenced essentially by a plea bargain agreed a few years ago. So this will be incredibly significant for those women, albeit some of them also spoke of the absolute frustration that justice will not be served on them and they claim as theirabuser served on them and they claim as their abuser who is now dead. More and more details coming in all the time. But we will come back to that in an hourwhen time. But we will come back to that in an hour when we return for a further look at all the papers. Asa and rachel will be back at ii. 30pm for another look at the papers. And dont forget, you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. Its all there for you, seven days a week, at bbc. Co. Uk papers. And if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. Thank you, asa bennett and rachel shabi. Goodbye for now. Hello again, as is often with the wave of things, we had a key wave across the british isles, comes to end with a bang. Thats the way eastern parts of the pen nine. The rest of the week, the heat has come to an end, cooler, better and windier. The change mechanism, not the thunderstorms but this weather front which is eventually. Down to most parts of the british isles. Along the line of the front, there will be some heavy rain coming into the west country towards wales, the midlands, and eventually into the north of england. Behind it, cooler and fresher conditions there as we had across scotland and northern ireland. I 2 showers perhaps, and from whence into thursday, as that front pushes the heat away to the near continent, we look to the atla ntic near continent, we look to the atlantic for the emphasis on the weather for the rest of the week. They come in the form of what you wish for, its cloudy and wet and windy. Certainly for the western side of scotland, getting into. Noticeably cooler, especially across these eastern parts where we spent these eastern parts where we spent the last three days in excess of 33 celsius. Not a deal of change on thursday into friday, and as the low pressure thursday into friday, and as the low pressure swings towards the north of scotland, the front trails backin north of scotland, the front trails back in across scotland and northern ireland. Some heavy pulses of rain into northern and western part of scotland, and eventually that rain drifting towards the cumbrian fields, adjusting to the far north of wales. Generally the midlands, eastern england, southern england are dry, fine and sunny, with top temperatures of 24 celsius. Into the weekend, the colours ran away with a dab of blue in our proceedings. Moving toward sunday, can that be just on cue for the start of meteorological autumn, or a taste of autumn itself . That weatherfront slowly tracks its way down across the british isles, lying on that diagonal by the afternoon. Heavy pulses of rain, bright or ahead of it and behind it. Once thats through, that opens the doors to the north and northwesterly wind, and thatis north and northwesterly wind, and that is what it will be a chilly, bright start of the day. And if you are fully exposed to that northwesterly wind, you will see more than your fair share of showers. The top temperature of the day at only 21 celsius. 33 celsius for some of you will be a seemingly distant memory. This is bbc news. The headlines at 11. A united front from the opposition to a no deal brexit theyll try to pass a law to stop it happening i will put forward a proposal in which we will make sure parliament is able to debate a legislative way of preventing the government from crashing us out of no deal to and that was the agreement amidst the opposition parties this morning. Dead and buried . Bolton wanderers and bury football clubs face liquidation after the deadline to save them expires. Jeffrey epsteins accusers tell their stories to a new york court among them, the woman whos made allegations against Prince Andrew, allegations he denies. He knows exactly what he has done andi he knows exactly what he has done and i hope he comes clean about it
