If that vote goes against him, Boris Johnson has hinted there will be a general election. After an emergency Cabinet Meeting mrjohnson claimed he didnt want an election and would do everything he can to ensure the uk leaves the European Union at the end of october, even without an agreement. This from bbc Political Editor laura kuenssberg. Boris, boris, boris out, out, out. Conflict and confrontation, the soundtrack to recent days around downing street already. Behind the gates, the Prime Minister stepping forward. Opposition and some tory mps want emergency votes to make it impossible for him to take us out of the European Union without a deal. Number ten is trying everything to stop them. If they do, they will plainly chop the legs out from under the uk position and make any further negotiation absolutely impossible. There are no circumstances in which i will ask brussels to delay. We are leaving on the 31st of october, no ifs or buts. Lets let our negotiators get on with their work without that sword of damocles over their necks and without an election, without an election. I dont want an election. You dont want an election. He might have rushed back in without it coming from his lips, but if mps change the law this week, it is clear the lectern will be out to call an election within days. I want to introduce you to the socialist who will go into number ten in a matter of weeks, jeremy corbyn. It is notjust up to the tories. Labour is rallying to the cause of preventing us from leaving without a deal and technically they could stand in the way of calling an election. Their leader didnt sound much like he would try to stop one tonight. When the election comes, i am ready for it, you are ready for it, we will take the message out there and we will win for the people of this country. We will defeat this lot and bring about the sense ofjustice and equality. That is what our movement was founded to achieve. Downing street might have welcomed its newest resident today, a rescue dog adopted by the Prime Minister and his partner. But how long he and his owners call this home, may soon be a question that is answered by us all. One of the most powerful atlantic storms on record, hurricane dorian, has come to a virtual halt over the bahamas, still hugely powerful but hardly moving, inflicting what the Prime Minister of the islands has called a historic tragedy. Hubert minnis has confirmed five people have died so far. Reports suggest that whole communities have vanished, in the abaco islands. Its a slow moving hurricane classified when it hit land as a category 5 making it the second strongest atlantic storm on record. Its now weakened to a category 4, but is still extremely dangerous, with winds up to 155 miles an hour. Also possible storm surges up to 23 feet, as the hurricane moves slowly, just a slight deviation in its path will bring it directly over the east coast of florida, which has now declared a state of emergency. So have georgia, and the carolinas. Aleem maqbool reports from florida. Overnight, life was changed in abaco in the bahamas by the strongest storm ever recorded there. Large areas of these low lying islands were totally submerged. Winds reaching more than 160 miles an hour with ocean surges recorded up to 23 feet high. The scraps of footage posted online as the hurricane barrelled through, before power and communications went down, painting a terrifying picture. Please, pray for us. Pray for abaco, please, im begging you. My babys only four months old, so please pray for us. The roof of the apartment block of the mother who took this video had been ripped off. She was clinging to the side of the building with her baby as she broadcast this. Some people, the water just took them. There has as yet been no update on her safety and no official figure for casualties. We have reports of casualties and bodies seen, but we cannot confirm those until we go and look for ourselves. That is the water hitting my front window, which is extremely high. The place is completely flooded out. That is my kitchen window, that water is hitting. That has to be a minimum of about 20 feet off the ground. Among those helplessly watching the waters rise the minister of agriculture, michael pintard, who filmed this. Aid agencies estimate that up to 13,000 homes could have been destroyed as the catastrophic storm moves through the bahamas, at some points at just a mile an hour. It could be days until help reaches many and as well as fears about lives lost and those injured, there are concerns that food and clean Drinking Water will be hard to come by. This is now the fourth year in a row in which there has been a category 5 hurricane in the atlantic, a record in the modern era, with experts attributing the increased frequency of these weather events to climate change. And dorian now heads towards florida, with projections this storm could remain hurricane strength for much of the week. Its about 100 miles away from here and the emergency has been declared infour and the emergency has been declared in four other states as well. As the us mainland now braces itself for the impact of this record breaking storm. Jae powell lives in grand bahama and shejoins me now on the phone from there. How was it for you there . Hello .

Hong kongs beleaguered chief executive has revealed that she would resign if she could, after months of unrest in the territory. In an audio recording obtained by reuters, carrie lam is heard blaming herself for igniting what she calls unforgiveable havoc. Werejoined by ho fung hung, who is professor in political economy atjohns Hopkins University in maryland. Good to talk to you, thank you very much for your time. What do you make of that . The content of the audio lea k of that . The content of the audio leak is actually not new. Over the last two months we have heard about rumours and actually reports in some measure newspapers saying that carrie lamb often wanted to resign when the crisis deepened and in beijing, the dinner not resign and ta ke beijing, the dinner not resign and take care of the mess that she helped create. So the content itself is not new was not what is new is that now we hear from herself that she wanted to resign and we all know that it she wanted to resign and we all know thatitis she wanted to resign and we all know that it is beijing that didnt that her resign. Some protesters i know are suspicious that this is not an accidental leg. I think it is a reasonable suspicion that actually carrie lam, herself, might be responsible in this party for letting this creep out so to that this kind of tenement to letting people know that she is not the one who is adamant and refuses to apologise and refuses to resign and if there is some affronting of that, calling the shots, making her not able to make a formal apology, and resign. So what would you say can you do . I think it is very tricky for her that definitely that if she really insist on resigning for Health Reasons or whatever, you can still do it but if beijing really dont want her to resign and she resigns regardless, than it would be kind of very bad for her future relations with ageing. There might be consequences for her waiting if she resigns, like in the situation. So right now, shejust let she resigns, like in the situation. So right now, she just let people know that she wants to resign and beijing does that her and kind of pressure on beijing to greenlight her resignation and take on the cleaning up of the mess itself. From the perspective of beijing. Its a big question, i know, but how do you expect this whole situation to end 7 expect this whole situation to end t expect this whole situation to end up . It is expect this whole situation to end 7 i very, expect this whole situation to end 7 ve very expect this whole situation to end up . It is very, very predictable right now, the beijing playbook has a lwa ys right now, the beijing playbook has always been to refuse to back down an engine of the same time, using this talk about pla coming, they will be hard to get people off the streets so the beijing expectation pages expectation was that this refusal to back down and this scare talk, people in hong kong, the protesters in hong kong, will wear down themselves and the thing will subside by itself. It seems that it is not working that way, as its backed by beijing. It is still getting the omentum, the boycott is starting and it seems to be continuing the terminal seems to be continuing the terminal seems to be continuing into september so beijing will definitely need to adjust a strategy.

Hopes are fading that any more survivors will be found after a scuba diving boat caught fire and sank off the coast of Southern California with more than 35 people on board. Police say a total of eight bodies have been recovered or located on the sea bed. All but one of the six crew members escaped the blaze. The Us Coast Guard has said the chances are finding survivors are bleak. This isnt a day that we wanted to wa ke this isnt a day that we wanted to wake up to four labour day and its a very tragic event and we will search all the way through the night into the morning but i think we all should be prepared to move into the worst outcome. Lets get more from our north america correspondent peter bowes. Peter, give us more detail on this. Any piracy of course is terrifying or dangerous. It seems there may have been an explosion here. Well, there were reports of an explosion although officials at that News Conference we have just been looking out, they are not confirming that yet, in fact they dont know, they simply dont know what caused this file. What they have been talking about is the fact that the scenario, the condition that the passengers we re the condition that the passengers were in, asleep on the lower level of the boat, it couldnt have been a worse situation with the vessel engulfed in names, difficult to put the fire out. While it is anchored at sea. Extremely difficult for all concerned. We know some of the crew members were rescued but they were rescued by private citizens using private boats who were first on the scene. We know those crewmembers have been taken to sure now ive been questioned by investigators. We dont know the nature of those conversations yet but you would hope and expect that perhaps the crewmembers are giving some clue as to what was happening in a few minutes before this fire started. Were there any mechanical problems . Were there any mechanical problems . Were there any technical problems with the vessel . Early on, peter, there seemed to be some hope that some people reached a nearby harbour but that hope has gone, has it . Yes, because the boat was anchored very, very close to the harbour indeed and we are told that they were scuba divers, at least some of the passengers on the boat, you would think experienced swimmers. It mightve been possible for them to safety but it seems and now with the passage of time, when no other survivors have been found, that perhaps those people were simply engulfed by the flames and unable to escape from the vessel itself which would have made swimming to safety impossible for them. Its clear the may day call about the fire went out at 3 30am or so but there are no question marks about the speed of the response or the scale of the response . There are no questions, no, it seems to have been a very swift response. This is about an hour from the mainland swift response. This is about an hourfrom the mainland of swift response. This is about an hour from the mainland of california so it took some time for the coastguard vessels to get to the boat which is why the immediate response, thankfully some private boats, were going to help those crewmembers jump to safety but there have been no general questions, huge response from various different agencies, from Santa Barbara further north, and the south towards los angeles. This has been an extremely difficult situation in the middle of the night for all concerned. Throughout history art has responded to contentious issues and thats certainly the case with a new exhibit at the phillips collection in washington. Bringing together artists from around the world it focuses on the experience of migrants and the current global refugee crisis. The warmth of other suns is an exhibition that is looking at global stories of migration and displacement. Within the show, you are going to encounter works from the last century and some of the early works that come to mind for me are photographs by lewis hine from ellis island. He is really making an effort to do portraiture in a traditional sense. It really gives dignity to these people. And within the show, you do find a lot of exa m ples of the show, you do find a lot of examples of portraiture, whether it is the portrait of the artist as a young child with his mother or more contemporary works, for example, a large painting by aliza nisenbaum, winning engaging in politics. There are winning engaging in politics. There a re lots of winning engaging in politics. There are lots of works speaking to the exodus of lack americans from the American South and other forced migrations within the United States including the trail of tears. That isa including the trail of tears. That is a migration that is addressed in Benny Andrews painting. Wonderland, which is a video piece, shows a little syrian boy who is 13 years old and to his death. Whats heartbreaking as you see what this little boy has suffered and this is communicated without land language, we dont need anything but gesturing and i think its one of the most difficult works in the show but one of the most powerful. This isa but one of the most powerful. This is a show that really, it invites viewers to think about the ethics of hospitality and its hard to leave the show without having some kind of reflection on that. The ethics of hospitality are something that i think would be wonderful for the Current Administration to give some thought to. However unlikely that might be. If this show can inspire visitors to give more thought to that, to think about other ways they can support immigrant communities or advocate for better treatment of immigrants at the borders, for changes to detention centres, just for a better approach to how we address immigration in this country than then i think that is going to bea than then i think that is going to be a valuable contribution. That collection in washington dc, the phillips collection, it is called the warmth of other suns.
