And an astounding admission from hong kongs leader. Carrie lam says shes to blame for the territorys political crisis and wishes she could quit. Its shaping up to be another significant week for brexit. Rebels from the Prime Ministers own party look likely to join forces in parliament with the opposition, to try to force another delay. 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 5 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. 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. Todd rector from the storm chasing networkjoins me now the us mainland now braces itself for the impact of this record breaking storm. Todd rector from the storm chasing networkjoins me now from fort pierce, florida where they are begining to feel the effects of dorian. Having seen what has happened in the bahamas, what can florida, georgia and the ca rolinas bahamas, what can florida, georgia and the carolinas expect . That is anybodys guess right now, the storm is moving so slowly on the path is still unpredictable. If it makes la ndfall still unpredictable. If it makes landfall in florida, as a category four, it could be devastating. We are currently under mandatory evacuations in many places along the east coast, the island im on is under mandatory evacuation. We have permission to be here, werejust to deceive the heavy rains and high winds coming but obviously this has already been historic storm with 300 kilometres per hour winds, obvious of the devastation devastation that has happened in the bahamas as eve ryo ne that has happened in the bahamas as everyone on edge. The entirety of the eastern seaboard is nervous at this point. Todd, you must have seen a few and been interview, explain why it is a slow moving storm, that it isa why it is a slow moving storm, that it is a much more dangerous . Why it is a slow moving storm, that it is a much more dangerou57m why it is a slow moving storm, that it is a much more dangerous . It all comes down to two things. It is the sustained winds, a brief gust of 100 mph can cause some damage was not sustained winds of 100 to 125 150 mph will cause ever stating damage from. On top of that, if it doesnt move off you get acute full that can add an ad and has nowhere to go. As her comes im sure youve heard this feed and feed of rain. When people have a certain experience of this, its the fourth year in a row we have seen a category five in the atlantic at how does anyone prepare for this . think luckily along the command that under coast and on the gold coast, in the United States, im not going to say people are used to hurricanes but then i had to prepare. The you ta ke but then i had to prepare. The you take shelter, the need to take these things seriously. And that as i was a good thing. Its tragic when a hurricane is forecast to come on board but it doesnt but everyone is safe and as we were driving around tonight, all the streets are empty, everybody is sheltered in place and waiting and preparing for the worst but hoping for the best. That phrase, without driving around tonight, Storm Chasers have a reputation as headbangers, im sure you take no risks with safety but why would anyone put themselves so close to one of the storms . Well, we were, we go out in wish you the video we try to bring the news to the people. We show people what is happening on the field so they get the sense of what people are going through. Im from the midwest we dont have hurricanes. But id like to bring this information back to the people in the midwest and say this is what is happening out here. We have safety but most in the top of our minds, we have contingency plans, we are the second story of a hotel room right now, we make sure we have provisions, food, water, we are as safe as we can be for the circumstances. Good to talk to you, thank you very much. Lets get some of the days other news. The taliban has confirmed to the bbc that about 5,000 us troops would be withdrawn from afghanistan under a proposed peace deal.

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. Ho fung hung is professor of political economy atjohns hopkins university. He told us what he thinks was new in carrie lams leaked audio. The content of the audio leg is actually not new. Over the last two months we heard about rumours and actually reports in major newspapers saying that carrie lam often wanted to resign in the crisis deepened and it is beijing that did not that her resign and take care of the mess that she helped create. So the content itself is not new. But as new is that now we hear from herself but actually he wanted she wanted to resign and the owner that it is beijing that didnt let her resign. Some protesters i know are suspicious that this is not an accidental leak. I think it is a reasonable suspicion that actually carrie lam herself might be responsible and is partly for letting this creep out so to let this tenement to letting people know that she is not the one he was adamant and refuses to apologise and refuses to resign and if there is some priority high up making her not able to make a formal apology and resign. So what would you say, can she do . I think it is very tricky for her that definitely that if she really insist on resigning for Health Reasons or whatever, she can still do it but if beijing really dont doesnt want her to resign and she resides, regardless, it would be kind of very bad for her future relations with beijing that there might be consequences for her waiting. If she resides, like the situation, so right now she should let people know that she wants to resign and beijing does not let her and kind of puts pressure on beijing to greenlight her resignation and ta ke to greenlight her resignation and take on cleaning up of the mess itself from the perspective of beijing. Its a big question but how do you expect this whole situation to end up . It is very predictable right now, beijing s playbook has a lwa ys right now, beijing s playbook has always been refusing to back down and injured at the same time using this sketch talk about pla coming, there will be hard to crack people off the streets so that beijing is aspect asian was that with this refusal to back down in this catalogue, people in on kong, the protesters in hong kong will wear down itself and themselves and that they will subside by itself, it seems it is not working that ways expect to buy beijing, its getting momentum, the boycott is starting and it seems to be continuing the turmoil seems to be continuing into september, even oktoberfest, so beijing will definitely leave need to adjust a strategy. Temperament has been giving a weekly press c0 nfe re nce. Temperament has been giving a weekly press conference. He mentioned that, she leaking of the recording and that press. I was and still am very disappointed that my remarks in a totally private exclusive session, which is a lunch, actually, which clearly the subject to Chatham House rules, have been recorded and then passed to the media. I think this is quite unacceptable. So, to further suggest that myself the government have any road role to play in this thing, is absolutely unfounded. Make your ownjudgement this thing, is absolutely unfounded. Make your own judgement on that. Carrie lam at the press conference rector. Right now.

Hopes are fading of any more survivors from the scuba dive boat that caught fire and sank off the coast of Southern California with 35 people on board. Police say eight bodies have been recovered or found on the seabed. All but one of the six crew escaped the blaze. According to coast guards, the chances of finding survivors are bleak. This isnt a day that we wanted to wake up to for labor 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. Our north america correspondent peter bowes told me more about the investigation. Well, there were reports of an explosion although officials at that News Conference we have just been looking at, 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 were in, asleep on the lower level of the boat, it couldnt have been a worse situation with the vessel engulfed in flames, difficult to put the fire out. While it is anchored at sea. Extremely difficult for all concerned. We know that 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 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. Throughout history, art has responded to contentious issues in Wider Society you could certainly say that of a new exhibit at the phillips collection in washington. It brings together artists from around the world and it focuses on the experience of migrants and the global refugee crisis. Co curator natalie bell walked us through the warmth of other suns. 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 examples of portraiture, whether it is gorky, his portrait of the artist as a young child with his mother 01 more contemporary works, for example, a large painting by aliza nisenbaum, which is a group portrait, so it is all women from immigrant backgrounds who are engaging in politics. There are lots of works speaking to the great migration, the exodus of black americans from the American South and other forced migrations within the United States including the trail of tears. That is a migration that is addressed in Benny Andrews painting. Wonderland, which is a video piece by erkan ozgen, shows a little syrian boy who is 13 years old and who his deaf. Whats heartbreaking is you see what this little boy has suffered and this is communicated without language, we dont need translation, it is all this kind of visual language but gesturing and i think its one of the most difficult works in the show but also 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, then i think that is going to be a valuable contribution. One of the curators of a trainee pilot in australia has managed to land a light aircraft safely. Full marks for that of course but this is the stuff of nightmares, even if youre not a flyer.
