British politicians are gearing up for a potential brexit battle next week, as mps grapple with the Prime Minister Boris Johnsons decision to suspend parliament early. The challenges to mrjohnsons move have continued today legislative, legal and from the public, and well take a look at all those in a moment. But first, the leader of the Oppositionjeremy Corbyn says hes ready to take on the government. We believe we can do it otherwise would not be trying to do it. I had a very constructive meeting with the leaders of all the opposition parties in my office a couple of days ago to go through these, and we are working together to do everything we can to ensure that parliament is able to assert itself on behalf of the british people to prevent a no deal exit from the union. What about a vote of no confidence . How does that fit in . It fits in absolutely with it, of course, and that will be put at the appropriate moment. The government has defended its move today. Heres what the leader of the house of Commons Jacob rees mogg had to say. This is completely constitutional, and proper. Theres going to be lots of time to debate before the 31st of october, parliament will be sitting then and will be able to have whatever emotions at once. I think the outrage is phoney and it is created by people who dont want us to leave the European Union and are trying very hard to overturn the referendum to result and dont want the benefits of leaving the European Union including cheaper food, clothing and footwear which we will get what we are free to use her own economic policies. But the uks defence secretary, ben wallace, was more candid when caught on a microphone speaking with his french counterpart at a summit in helsinki today. Defence secretary ben wallace there who appears to Say Parliament was being suspended to get brexit sorted. There have been more protests across the country against the move, these are the latest pictures, they follow on from a number of large scale rallies last night. The efforts included a number of groups protesting directly to their local mps, asking them to defend the governments decision. A common theme amongst protesters was that the decision was an attack on uk democracy, with campaigners also taking aim at borisjohnson directly. So all this looks set to kick off next week, when parliament is back in session. The bbcs nick eardley tweeted that he understands the house of lords has been told to prepare for late sittings next week to debate legislation blocking no deal. Thats because the Prime Ministers decision to suspend parliament will kick in just days after they return to work after the summer break. That will give mps opposed to a no deal brexit much less time to take action. And there are only 63 days to go until the uk leaves the eu on the 31st of october. Mps like david gork, whos in borisjohnsons own party, Want Parliament to have a chance to stop no deal. Im pleased theres been a move away from discussions about votes of no confidence for people like me the last thing we want to see isjeremy corbyn as Prime Minister, so i dont think that is a sensible or viable way. There is, i think a majority in the house of commons, the views living without a deal is something that will be responsible, harmful to oui that will be responsible, harmful to our constituents and would damage the integrity of the united kingdom. Those are serious points and, you know, there are many people, i think in the house of commons who want to ensure that parliament can make that case and an effective way. So thats the action mps are planning to take but others are getting involved too. Legal challenges have been launched in an attempt to stop the suspension of parliament. The mpjoanna cherry has been leading the charge to get the courts to do that a judge in scotland will rule on that tomorrow. Heres what she had to say. Earlier, what we are seeking to impun is the advice that the queen was given. So the action is raised in my name. I am the first petitioner and the other petitioners actions that advice given by the executive can be judicially refused. Under the law of scotland where the courts are based the sovereign is not above the law. The courts have to be ina not above the law. The courts have to be in a position to adjudicate between the executive, thats Boris Johnsons government the citizens of this country. The bbcs political correspondentJessica Parker joins me now with the latest. Could to have you back on outside source, jessica. So many developments and strands happening at the same time. But do you get any sense of if theres one particular path of looks like it might be more successful to stop a new deal brexit . I think a lot of the interest is, yes, around those potential legal challenges difficult to call for the stage as to whether myco in terms of effort to potentially legislate next week at the house of commons, of course that isa the house of commons, of course that is a numbers game and other people are doing some serious maths ahead of next week to try and figure out whether opposition parties plus a handful of conservative mps who are opposed to a auto breaks their own government in terms of a piece of legislation whether the numbers are not there. Whether we look at previous votes there is a majority against a no deal brexit when previously there was a successful attempt to train mandate last Prime Minister to seek an extension to article 50 that passed the house of commons by one vote. They can do all the furious method like commit will be a difficult one to predict. It even gets that far, thats important to make that point the mps may be talking about trying to bring forward some kind of legislation they have a few obstacles legislation they have a few o bsta cles to legislation they have a few obstacles to get over first. If they have the mechanism of an emergency debate after when the position to push for the emergency debate and try and get the speaker to agree to pay potentially making it amendable to ta ke pay potentially making it amendable to take over the business of parliament perhaps for a day in order to pass a bill of their own. It all gets very complicated using all of these arcane procedures and rules and regulations in the house of commons but its not like Opposition Mps can just turn up on tuesday when Parliament Resumes and say hey we want to have a chance to pass a bill right away, will you let us pass a bill right away, will you let us do it . Its more collocated than that and after went over the speaker which is of course indicating hes not happy with Boris Johnsons which is of course indicating hes not happy with borisjohnsons plans there will be some hope there for opposition parties but they have to ove ico m e opposition parties but they have to overcome various hurdles in the house of commons and of course when the vote of mps and then the legislation would go forward to the house of lords, and theres lots of talk there as to whether those who backed the governments position could try and filibuster a bill, or talk it out, make long speeches until the session runs out of time. Thats often an american tactic that ive seen in action and all the time the clock ticking of course. Stay with us, just got because i want to bring another strand of the conversation to our viewers. The conservative party were also hit by the resignation of their leader in scotland Ruth Davidson. Under davidson, the fortunes of the party north of the border revived dramatically increasing their number of mps in scotland from just one in 2015, to 13 in 2017 as you can see here. With the resignation having been announced within a day of Boris Johnsons decision to Prorogue Parliament many had speculated that had motivated davidson a consistent opponent of no deal to quit her post. Today davidson dismissed those rumours. Prime minister, get us a deal in the European Union, and what i say to people who said there would to avoid iio people who said there would to avoid no deal is what i have just said, given the Prime Minister brings a deal back to the house of commons as a know he is trying to do, for god sake, get behind in this time, the fourth time of asking vote for it. And were back with Jessica Parker from westminster. This was a very interesting side story, i thought some people were saying in one of our correspondence whether it was a thorn in their side may be can be both. As you were discussing that Ruth Davidson not seen discussing that Ruth Davidson not seen as an discussing that Ruth Davidson not seen as an ally of borisjohnson and have coarse plaster during the 2016 referendum on opposing sides of the debates, she was said to be pretty unhappy when sacked the scholar secretary and there was the sense that she had been sidelined by the new administration and she is making very clear today that the reason she is stepping down is to make sure she can spend a sufficient amount of time with her family but i can spend a sufficient amount of time with herfamily but i think overall for the conservative party this will be seen as a loss, why . Because she was a charismatic figure north of the border, someone that has reinvigorated the conservative party, so of those reshaped its image and given a lot of credit for being a very significant part of their electoral success back in 2017 with the conservatives went from one mile per hour or 13 mp5, a lot of the credit was put to Ruth Davidson and its really not clear, although there will be candidates vying to succeed her, who can succeed are really carry on that legacy. I think overall for borisjohnson, really carry on that legacy. I think overall for Boris Johnson, if really carry on that legacy. I think overall for borisjohnson, if a general election, for example, is around the corner yes he might not exactly be close to Ruth Davidson but if she were somebody who could get on board with him during intellect toral season she would be in electoral asset and he is not going to want to lose the scottish conservative seats especially with the arithmetic and parliament currently as it stands being so delicate, he needs all the help he can get in terms of winning seats in a future should there be another general election around the corner which of course makes people suspect that there is. Thank you so much for joining us, jessica. Measles has returned to four European Countries that were previously free of the disease. The World Health Organization or who has released this new report, which shows that many countries are now slipping backwards in the fight to eliminate measles. The four countries are albania, the czech republic, greece and the uk but, cases are increasing across the continent. Over 80,000 cases have been reported for the first half of this year thats already more than for the whole of 2018. And the news isnt any better for worldwide figures. Heres kate obrien from the who. Over 364,000 cases have been reported to the who from the regions. The number which is only for cases up through august is the highest number of vehicles to the mac measles cases reported globally in any yearsince mac measles cases reported globally in any year since 2006 and we have not completed the year yet. This is almost three times as many cases we re almost three times as many cases were reported as the same time last year. One Doctors Research suggests a link between the rise of populist Political Parties and mistrust of vaccines. Heres drjonathan kennedy of the Global Public health unit at Queen Mary University here in london. Ultimately, populism is an anger and an distrust of elites and experts, so in the political sphere it seems to manifest itself as support for antiestablishment politicians and political movements and parties where as Public Health this seems to present itself as a distrust of doctors, Public Health authorities and social media has aptly change the way we access information and communicate and this is really pushing the rise in Vaccine Hesitancy but also deeper drivers as well which is mistrust of government and of elites and experts more generally. Measles is a highly contagious and potentially fatal illness that causes coughing, rashes and fever. It can be prevented through two doses of the vaccine, which is available for free for all Young Children in the uk. The who is warning of dangerous misinformation about vaccines on social media with many people now questioning their use. This graph shows the global trust regarding vaccines as you can see Eastern Europe comes bottom, with only around half those asked agreeing that vaccines are safe. Ive been speaking to professor heidi larson from the vaccine confident project. The elimination part is really, its a lot of hard work to keep it in check, and keep the measles and check, and keep the measles and check, and keep the measles and check, and i think that what is happened is that some countries with a lot of misinformation, but also sometimes with a lot of mobility of people, they miss their appointments if they dont get their vaccinations, some people thinking they dont need them and it starts to wear down what they call a herd immunity. And the tear in the fabric and measles is incredibly infectious, its the most infectious, its the most infectious, and if you start to let that out of the bag, as they say, it travels quickly. And i think what people forget is that it is really, it can be disabling and can kill can be fed a number of deaths across europe and certainly globally. We need to ramp up, and almost, i think in some settings take an emergency approach to pull it back. But with that look like, and emergency approach . I think we need to strengthen the existing programmes but i think to really be vigilant where there are pockets of under or no vaccination, and make an action ordinary effort to get people vaccinated to the extent that they are willing. A number of the air countries the people are concerned about with the levels of measles are countries that people use to vaccinate but that has fallen away. How do you understand it, why did it happen with yellow i think some people feel like they dont need any more because we have not seen such big evidence of the threat, so pa rents big evidence of the threat, so parents when they are given the choice are more focused on the risk ofa choice are more focused on the risk of a vaccine versus the risk of a disease, and i think theres a very strong and growing pro Nature Movement or people are opting for a vaccine free choice which is, ideal, but not real. And also i think theres a lot of misinformation about the risks of vaccines, there is so much work on the safety of a vaccine before it ever is introduced, and i think people dont realise how much effort and Research Goes into the making of a vaccine to make it as safe as possible. Weve heard these discussions about how safe they are, but for some reason when we see with these numbers that does not seem to be getting through. What would you say to somebody who is trying to weigh up whether or not to vaccinate their children . You have to start with the fact that there are some risks, but relatively small, i think where the things we are hearing is that you have not told us the truth, they are not 100 safe and those who question are correct, they are not 100 saved but compared to the risk of the diseases, and the very minimal redness or soreness you might get from a vaccine its really, really important to get vaccinated.

Us marketsjumped on news beijing wont retaliate to a further escalation from washington in its trade spat. The us is set to impose 15 tariffs on an initial 125 billion dollars worth of chinese imports on sunday. Technology stocks which are tariff sensitive because they have suppliers based in china they include apple and microsoft, all saw gains on wall street. Lets get more from Samira Hussain in new york. Talk hussain in new york. Is there a little bit about how it talk is there a little bit about how it is expecting the markets, this latest twist in the trades. Basically any time there some sort of movement in the trade war between the United States and china you will probably see reaction quite immediately for investors. We are seeing it move in a positive direction, their signs for the industry suggesting they dont to have an tit for tat and are really looking at doing some sort of talking and sort of bringing down the temperature in this trade battle. Donald trump was speaking to fox news on the radio and had indicated that the americans will be speaking with their chinese cou nterpa rts speaking with their chinese counterparts sometime on thursday so thatis counterparts sometime on thursday so that is sometime today, and so that is also giving investors reasons to cheer. That perhaps not all is lost. And with china, as they mentioned, they said they will not retaliate but do we know whether that is set in stone . Nothing is set in stone, i would suggest, when it comes to this trade war. Other things can of course happen but ultimately we are seeing a lot of pushback from within the United States but there are people within the Republican Party we re people within the Republican Party were being openly about suggestions that perhaps this trade tactic is not working, or that this is leading us on not working, or that this is leading usona not working, or that this is leading us on a dangerous path. So there are some movements trying to see if we can bring this to an end a little bit. Thank you very much, speaking to us from new york. Over to europe now and fears of a recession there are still looming. The regions largest economy germany showed inflation unexpectedly weakening in august. Heres sarah hewin, europea n economist at standard chartered. Of course, the policymakers are trying to get inflation somewhat higher and they seem to be failing, having said that. Growth seems to be holding is holding up in the context of course is one where we have seen negative gdp in the quarter and a concern that actually that might slide into a full blown recession. The European Central bank is one where we have seen negative gdp in the quarter and a concern that actually that might slide into a full blown recession. The European Central bank has indicated it has prepared to further and we have artie had negative deposit rates in the area but also it seems likely to us that it will cut rates further negative. They have talked about even restarting the Quantitative Easing Programme and maybe thats something that will keep in reserve in the event there is a severe crisis.

Thats it for this half hour of outside source for another half hour to come, i do hope you willjoin us here the bbc. Hello again, we will take a look at some of our bigger weather stories happening around the world from floods to hurricanes. Heres the latest on Hurricane Dorian then. Here it isjust latest on Hurricane Dorian then. Here it is just to the north of the island of puerto rico wright has brought heavy rains and strong winds, this is a category one hurricane, no hurricanes are always steered by the larger wind currents and large scale strict flow. Particularly the edge of the subtropical ridge. The moment, the ridge is steering this hurricane frayed northwest direction around the edge of this weather system, so its going to be picking up strength as it works overseas and its going to get stronger. The winds are expected to cost about hundred 40 mph of the next few days as he becomes a major category storm system but instead of moving northwest direction to head into the weekend is going to change direction as it moves into a west direction, thats crucial for landfall of the system whether its in on the bahamas or whereabouts of florida on monday it will make landfall. Either way theres the risk of some significant flooding and also some destructive winds, its just how quickly that turn happens thats important. We will take a look at what is going on elsewhere we have some majorflooding at what is going on elsewhere we have some major flooding at the what is going on elsewhere we have some majorflooding at the moment taking place in japan. Some majorflooding at the moment taking place injapan. This was the scene of parts of japan where we are seeing torrential rain over recent days bringing inundation and parts of the city in many areas under water, the reason for that is torrential rain over the last few days, the bad news is really we have more heavy rain to come from the same more heavy rain to come from the sa m e syste m more heavy rain to come from the same system over the next few days, here it is in a satellite picture and see if the cost of the cloud going against parts here and thats where we will see the heaviest parts of rain. Thunder in nature and its was a very quite a lot in putty of skepticism and maybe some landslide. This is a Tropical Storm mickey la ndfall across this is a Tropical Storm mickey landfall across vietnam and this also will bring some torrential force of rain, once 200 mm and may be 400 for some and thats, again, enough to bring significant Flooding Issues here over the next few days, the storm system itself will begin into a depression but that system is pretty slow moving in nature. We have heavy showers also affecting southern parts of china. Some snowstorms spreading out across eastern areas and otherwise for western europe that would get that warmth across the southeast but further falls of heavy rain in the forecast in the northwest. Hello, im nuala mcgovern, this is outside source. Harsh criticism for brazils president , from one of his predecessors. Lula da silva speaks to the bbc from inside prison, where hes serving a sentence for corruption. Translation i think bolsonaro is doing great harm to the brazilian people. Partly through evil and partly through ignorance. As the fallout continues in westminster, we look at the International Reaction to the British Governments decision to suspend parliament. And were live to washington. Former fbi Directorjames Comey will not be prosecuted for leaking information to the media, donald trump has responded. Brazils president has banned setting fires to clear land across the country for 60 days, as the number of wildfires raging in the amazon increases. Theres been a global outcry to the fires that have burnt huge parts of the Worlds Largest rainforest which sprawls millions of square kilometers across nine Different Countries in south america. The decree was signed by the president Jair Bolsonaro. And its quite a big step for the president , whos been criticised at home and abroad for failing to protect the rainforest. The latest attack has come from former president lula da silva, whos serving a nine Year Prison Sentence for corruption. He spoke exclusively to the bbcs will grant. Even from prison, lula remains an influential force in brazils politics. Held in solitary confinement for 22 hours a day, Little Wonder he craves human contact, and, for the remaining two hours of this day, he spoke exclusively to the bbc. As we spoke, wildfires continue to rage in the amazon, consuming thousands of hectares of forest. President lula boasted a strong record on reducing deforestation and now fears president Jair Bolsonaro is destroying his environmental legacy. Translation theyre deforesting as if brazil and the world didnt like forests. The people setting the amazon on fire are saying the same thing as people who set fires years ago. They think preserving the forest, tackling Global Warming is foolish. Its stupidity at a high level governing our country today. Brazils standing in the world is being tainted by its leadership, argues lula. Translation i think bolsonaro is doing great harm to the brazilian people, partly through evil and partly through ignorance. You can see he doesnt know what hes talking about. In a relationship between countries, you cant use insults like trump and bolsonaro do. It must be through dialogue. Brazil needs friends like the uk, france, italy, the us, china, angola and they need us, too. What do you make then of mr bolsonaros relationships with those same countries . Translation there is no relationship because bolsonaro is ideologically guided by people who believe the world is flat. Under lula, brazil was one of the fastest emerging economies in the world. Today its in deep economic trouble again and lulas critics blame him for funding his popular social policies with the commodities boom. Lula reserves most of his anger for sergio moro, the investigating judge in his case who is now the justice minister. New revelations suggest moro was coordinating with the prosecution. For years the most popular politician in brazil, he knows the new evidence could see him released soon or he may have to wait until president bolsonaro leaves office. But, as he was taken to his cell, lula says he remains an optimist amid the uncertainty both for himself and for the future of brazil. And will grantjoins us live now from curitiba in brazil. Pretty fascinating watching that report from inside the prison and he spoke immediately and knew Everything Else going on outside of those walls, but does he still hold influence because of so much we see in brazil is the culture of bolsonaro . Yes, it is a good question. The latest polls, right up until the election that he was not allowed to run and against bolsonaro, he consistently showed himself to be basically the most popular politician in brazil. It wouldve taken quite a shift to have changed that, given that any popularity that bolsonaro had initially when he came to power seems to be ebbing away very quickly with the recent polls believed to be. Itll be fair to say that it is an important figure politically in the history of brazil. He founded the history of brazil. He founded the Workers Party and even as im speaking to you here outside of the jail that he is being held in, there isa jail that he is being held in, there is a visual going on from the very moment that he was put in jail and people that have not left ever since then. A couple of things, do brazilians hear from him . Then. A couple of things, do brazilians hearfrom him . Ifound it fascinating to hear his thoughts because i have not seen his face or heard his voice in a long time. Do they have any missives from him to they have any missives from him to the general public . He has given a few interviews and brazilian media but from the Major International outlets, his message reaches his followers but it is nowhere near as ubiquitous as when he was on the outside and certainly not when he was president obviously. He says he spends a lot of time writing letters, 22 hours in solitary that he has to fill. So he is in communication with his most dedicated followers and is sending them to the party and cindy got instructions. Sending out. Any hes talking about how important he was at the height of his power in the 2000 2010 20002010. Speaking to us from brazil. In neighbouring bolivia, the rainforest is also burning, with more than one million hectares being affected by the fires. And heres the bolivian president evo morales in the white shirt joining the firefighters to tackle the blazes. This particular picture was taken on the border with paraguay swipe this particular picture was taken on the border with paraguay and here he is again in blue this time spraying water along with the firefighters. Mr morales has also faced criticism for not acting quickly enough to contain the fires. He has accepted aid and that is where he differs from the brazilian president who was offered by the g7 countries and bolsonaro went back and forth on whether he would accept some of theirfull and forth on whether he would accept some of their full control but morale is was quicker to take that help. Let me move on to the United States and this man because let me move on to the United States and this man President Donald Trump tweeting just moments ago about former fbi Directorjames Comey. He said it comes after the department ofjustice released a report today criticising mr comey for improperly leaking a white house memo, about his dealings with president trump, to the media. It also found that comey broke fbi rules by giving a memo to a friend, who shared its contents with a reporter. But as mr comey says himself. The president and his allies are going all out to criticise mr comey. The offical twitter account of the Republican Party called him a liar and a leaker. And a statement from president trumps press secretary says Chris Buckler is our man in washington. It is good to have you with us, chris, the war of words is playing online but how significant is it, do you think . You know that there is no love lost between President Donald Trump and james. He was fired as fbi director ina trump and james. He was fired as fbi director in a blaze of publicity and since then, they have continued to fight about the basis for that dismissal. President donald trump is given various reason as to why, but it is always beenjames belief because of fbi inquiries into russian interference in the 2016 election and what he did is that he kept memos of conversations that he had with the president if he took one of those memos in the give to a friend who then passed it on with mr comeys authorisation to reported to the New York Times and what this memo did was that a basically detailed that President Donald Trump pressured the fbi to stop them from investigating into the White House National security adviser, michael flynn. General flynn later admitted that he had misled the white house in light of federal agents about contacts in light of federal agents about co nta cts he in light of federal agents about contacts he had with some russian officials. As a result, there has been a investigation with what is not classified material but Sensitive Information both as far as the department ofjustice is concerned, the Inspector General has said that nonetheless, he set a bad example and this could set him up as a defender of fbi values, but that isa a defender of fbi values, but that is a pretty stinging rebuke. Reactions from eu leaders to plans to the Uk Parliament have been muted. The eus brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier said other Major Players are mainly silent. This article by our correspondent in brussels, adam fleming, explains thats because they see it as an issue for the uk and they are focused on whether brexit will happen with or without a deal. Dont forget, the uk has already been given two extensions in order to agree on a withdrawal deal. Let me remind you what European Council president donald tusk said after the second one was granted in april. Let me finish this with a message to our british friends. This extension is as flexible as i expected and its a little bit shorter than i expected. But it is still enough to find the best possible solution. Please do not waste this time. That was in april. Today, this is what a french member of the European Parliament told the bbc. I dont know how many Boris Johnsons you have, but we have a Boris Johnson coming to paris and berlin saying that he wants a deal. Saying that he will work on it and accepting that the ball is in his court that he has to come with proposals. Then one week later, we have a British Government that seems to be more interested in a no deal than anything else. We havent heard proposals coming from borisjohnson or the government. Of course a deal hasnt been made and borisjohnson has insisted that brexit will happen deal or no deal do or die. While thats going on the International Media has had fun with their headlines. One of the headlines with the german newspaper, the frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reads confrontation on the thames and this article in hungarys mag yar nemzet, refers to brexit as the saga where nobody really knows what they want but they really want it. Ill let bbc monitoring tell you about some more of the worlds front pages. Theres been wide condemnation of the move which many outlets, notjust in european media but globally, have described as undemocratic and shocked that this is taking place in the uk. France in one newspaper headline read, by suspending british parliament, Boris Johnson aggravates the brexit circus. Abc news website says that Boris Johnson lost all his legitimacy, this is a terrible embarrassment. Theres also been quite a lot of scrutiny of mrjohnson mrjohnsons character as well. Spains newspaper commented that a premier who did not compete in elections claims to make a decision of such great magnitude knowing the apartment is against it accurately reflects his character. And in terms of coverage from the rest of the world, the reaction to the news was more pronounced in some countries than others. In turkey, for example, several Media Outlets use the word coup to describe the events. They also made the front page of several iranian Media Outlets, johnson bombarded parliament with the queens cannonball, reads the headline of hard line conservative. Followed by british democracys suspended for brexit. Stay with us on outside source well go to colombia, where three years after agreeing to peace. A former rebel commander is calling on his followers to take up arms. The number of migrants trying to reach the uk across the channel by boat is growing fast. 200 were intercepted in the past week alone. The home secretary, priti patel, held talks today with her french counterpart to discuss the crisis. Gavin lee reports from northern france. Welcome to gravelines a pictu re postca rd french coastal town by day, its harbour is now a magnet for migrants at night. Jean pierre shows me where his £7,000 motorboat was moored. All thats left is a severed rope. He says his boat was stolen and discovered in british waters with eight migrants on board. The vessel is still in the hands of uk authorities. Translation we are not rich people. We cant afford to buy a new boat every month because migrants are stealing them. It is sad for those people, but what about us . So im telling you, i wont let it happen again. I will defend myself the best i can. I wont let my boat be stolen again. A Community Night patrol has been set up by the boat owners, who say they live in fear of the migrants, who are searching the area each night. The vessels are all now chained in place. Some are alarmed. Alarm goes off. This man offers to show me what its like attempting to cross the channel. Here in the middle of the channel, you already get a sense of how strong the current is and its relatively calm today. And you can see why this is called one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world with the freight traffic going across, the ferries from dover to calais. Now, the migrants are taking smaller boats than this to make the journey and the boat owners here say that its far too dangerous and lives are massively at risk. Ayearago, migrants illegally crossing by boat seemed a rare occurrence. Now its happening here every week. This is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. Our lead story is . At westminster the political fall out continues after the British Governments decision to suspend parliament. Two separate legal challenges have been launched to try to stop the suspension. Staying in south america colombias president has condemned the announcement by a group of former farc rebel commanders of a new offensive calling on their supporters to take up arms. It comes less than three years after the rebels signed a Peace Agreement with the government. Guerilla leader ivan marquez announced in this video that a new phase of the Armed Struggle was beginning. He was one of the main negotiators of the peace deal and his announcement is a heavy blow to the Peace Process. Colombian president ivan duque has offered a reward of almost a Million Dollars for each of the rebels in the video. This image is from november 2016 when the peace deal was signed, ivan marquez is on the left. As part of the agreement farc turned into a Political Party and was assigned a number of seats in colombias congress. Former president Juan Manuel Santos who oversaw the Peace Process with farc rebels tweeted 90 of the farc are still following the Peace Process. We need to keep our end. We need to quell the deserters with force. The fight for peace cant stop no one wants to see columbia go backwards. It is important that all of those were directly involved in the Peace Process reaffirm their commitment to this process and the courageous decision to lay down arms was the historic smart decision and we have to move forward to ensure peace and stability for all people of columbia. Colombians must be clear that we are not facing a new, but we are facing a threat of new terrorists that have the support of the dictatorship of nicolas maduro. He is in the area andi nicolas maduro. He is in the area and i asked what the reaction was to this new development. It has been a huge issue in columbia. Theres been a irruption of discussion in social media on tv and radio in the streets, people are very concerned that after decades of conflict in the peace deal that this might be at risk. I think many people here have expressed doubts about the situation that this process, there have been calls morning that it was in a fragile state and the person who let the statement in the video, he had himself complained several times that this process, however the fact of seeing not only markets but other major commanders in military fatigues wearing with guns on them and having very strong impact in columbia, public opinion, a lot of it is discussing who was to blame. A lot of the critics of the Peace Process have said that the fact that they were never to be trusted while others are saying that the government should have been more active in trying to keep it still, theyre mentioning that there saying that at least 90 they claim of the former rebels are still committed to the Peace Process. I want to bring our viewers also another person who has been speaking, former president of columbia. He is been very critical of his successor. Speaking about the situation. Ssourcesot total impunity does not make peace. These people appeared to have left and they were forgiven of all kinds of horrors. The government gave them enormous privileges. Earlier i spoke to the bbc mundos luis fajardo, whos in columbias capital bogota. I asked what the reaction on the ground was like. Three years ago, when there was such jubilation and celebrations of this Peace Agreement and, i mean, we begin to look at it. Where farc members integrated strongly within the political system of columbia. What was the biggest sticking point. This situation has gone on for decades, this was an insurgency that began in the 1960s, so for many, this is the backdrop of their lives in the last couple of years as you are saying, many people criticised the Peace Process, but others saw it as an opportunity to break the cycle of violence has been going on for decades. So there is a lot of soul searching but the party of government right now, which is led by former president , they have been very critical of the Peace Process and that there was never really any intention to continue this Peace Process. One of the people who ascended in the video was another commander of the farc. He has been requested and acquisition of Drug Trafficking which happened after the Peace Process. So they said they we re Peace Process. So they said they were not real commitments and parts of the farc. Others say it is really important that they continue trying to keep the majority of farc, and the really remarkable thing that happened a few hours ago it was when the party leader actually apologised. He said that the farc was embarrassed by the situation and he and teddy make apologise to the International Community for the situation for what happened with farc. It has been trending all day and i came across, looking at the store and the bbc website and on the news app and video at that story that said many of the former farc became ea kle war said many of the former farc became eakle war is trying to protect the amazon rain forest from logging and farming. If you look at that, it is very interesting at the context of what is happening in brazil and whats also happening in bolivia with their wildfires. Thank you for watching outside source, we will be back with you next week, goodbye. Hello there. Right now is the peak of the atlantic hurricane season. Every time you put a hurricane into the mix, mix and more difficult to forecast the weather further ahead here in the uk. And across the atla ntic we here in the uk. And across the atlantic we have our weather coming in at the moment and in the south westerly winds and that weather front is focusing rain on and off across Northern Ireland and then to scotla nd across Northern Ireland and then to scotland quite heavy over the hills was some rain on friday coming in over northwest england and threatening north wales, heading further south and east across england and wales will probably be dry when the sun is out it will really feel quite warm with those south westerly winds. Much cooler and wetter for the north, south westerly winds. Much cooler and wetterfor the north, and south westerly winds. Much cooler and wetter for the north, and with that weather front hangs around, the rain is going to add up overnight and into saturday, over the hills of scotla nd and into saturday, over the hills of scotland and Northern Ireland with a couple of inches of rain and the weather front is going to change shape and position, so should be moving away from Northern Ireland fairly quickly with the rain lingering longer in scotland and will see a band of rain pushing it england and wales. The east midlands, east anglia, the east of england will be dry for most of the day and still quite warm, quite a temperature contrast on saturday. It is all about that weather front. Warmerair is all about that weather front. Warmer air behind it and staying in the eastern parts in the rain shall be moving from scotland as it clears away too. That brings with it some maritime airand away too. That brings with it some maritime air and that is much cooler and fresher. So for meteorological autumn, it will feel more like autumn. Heavy and the three showers, heading further the southwards of temperature is making to 21 in london but for many, it is surrounded by the mid teens and the showers tend to fade away overnight and as the wind drops a little bit, ill get to six or 7 degrees. A bright starfor ill get to six or 7 degrees. A bright star for many a monday and northwesterly winds will change in the south westerly and ill bring more moisture, more cloud and some rain particularly the scotland with the central belt warmer in the southeast with them for 20 or 21 degrees. Here, we have higher pressure a cross degrees. Here, we have higher pressure across the uk, hence the dry weather further north we have those weather fronts bringing dry weather further north we have those weatherfronts bringing in rain and the winds will be picking up rain and the winds will be picking up as we move into tuesday next week and will find cloud coming in from the atlantic again with showers also longer spells of rain were quite wet for western parts of scotland. But towards the south east of the uk, likely to be dry and temperature is fairly standard for this time of the year. Now lets move to the other side of the atlantic, this area cloud is now Hurricane Dorian. It is strengthening in this the projected track, it is on the right track but it wont take much for it to curve out to the atlantic, what were doing with bigger and more powerful system is throwing a lot more energy and heat into the atmosphere and that affects the downstream weather patterns and this is where that High Pressure will be in the uk. For much of next week later into next week, we sit to the southwest and that allows northwesterly wind and that allows northwesterly wind and that will bring some showers and maybe some longer spells of rain but further south next week, closer to the and it should much calmer weather and pleasantly warm with the sunshine by day. The labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn said a plan was already under way for tuesday as the former justice secretary warned next week may be their only chance. Parliament does have a responsibility to act and it may be that next week is the only opportunity for us to do so. Ruth davidson resigns as leader of the scottish conservatives after eight years, imploring borisjohnson to secure a brexit agreement. But the government says the outrage over suspending parliament is phoney and mps are trying to block brexit. Also tonight a teenage boy has pleaded guilty to murdering 17 year old
