In the next couple of days or hours and we have nothing. The us is sending troops and Missile Defence systems to saudi arabia and the uae in response to last weeks attack to saudi arabia and the uae on saudi oilfacilities. 75 years on from the battle of arnhem a mass parachute drop is taking place in the netherlands, to mark what was known as 0peration Market Garden in world war two. And favourites new zealand, hold on to beat south africa in their opening match of the Rugby World Cup injapan. And coming up for its second week as a tv show as well as a podcast another busy week in politics is reviewed in brexitcast. At half past two good afternoon. The labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has quashed an attempt to oust tom watson as his deputy, following an angry backlash from mps. The grassroots group, momentum, had tabled a motion at the partys ruling National Executive committee, to abolish mr watsons role but this morning, the nec backed mr corbyns proposal to review the position instead. Tom watson described the ploy to remove him as a sectarian attack. Our political correspondent, nick eardley, reports. What does he want to be talking about . The nec agreed this morning that we are going to consult on the future, of diversifying the deputy leadership positions to reflect the diversity of our society. Policies . His plan for government . Definitely. The green industrial revolution, Green New Deal that we are putting forward. Factional infighting, getting rid of his deputy, probably not. Tom watson is the deputy leader of the party and i enjoy working with him. But as labour gets ready for its annual conference, its an internal row that is dominating, after mr corbyns left wing backers in momentum tried to oust tom watson by scrapping his deputy leader position. Its a straight sectarian attack on a broad church party and it is moving us into a different kind of institution, where pluralism isnt tolerated, where factional observance has to be adhered to completely, and it is kind of completely going against the traditions the labour party has had for 100 years. Some of mr corbyns allies have been angry at mr watson for publicly contradicting the leader in recent months. But the timing of this plot, potentially just weeks before a general election, left others furious. I think lots of people will be frustrated that this move from a small section, from a small clique, is actually undermining Jeremy Corbyns ability to get the message across about the transformative policies that a Labour Government will introduce. But, just as quickly as the plot emerged, it was off. At this meeting of labours executive, Jeremy Corbyn ordered a review into the deputy leader position. The can has been kicked down the road. We want to review our democratic structures. We think that is the right thing to do. Labour conference is only just getting under way, and already the deep splits in the party are on show for everyone to see. That was nick eardley reporting. More now on how tour operator, thomas cook, has asked the government for financial help as it tries to avoid collapse. Britains oldest package holiday firm, could fall into administration this weekend unless it finds £200 million to secure a rescue deal. A collapse could leave around 150,000 british holiday makers stranded. Katie prescott has more. Its a low season for thomas cook in more ways than one. The weak pound makes it more expensive for it to buy the flights and hotels it pays for in euros and dollars. It is in a competitive market where profits are small and it has a lot of costs hundreds of shops and 22,000 staff. Now heading into the winter period, the debt laden company has a cash flow crisis. If we book a holiday with thomas cook, we will pay for it before we go, obviously, but they actually do not pay the hotel until after we are back, so they pay 60 to 90 days later, which means that everybody that went on holiday through the summer, it is now that thomas cook is beginning to have to pay the hotels. They simply cant and if they cant pay the suppliers, then the Company Faces a pretty tough time. The Company Lenders say it needs an extra £200 million on top of the money its already secured for a bailout. With a vote on that lifeline next friday, the company is hoping it can get over the next few days to reach that finish. Its a nervous time for customers. We just dont know what the situation is. We will either have a flight back and get back to manchester and be fortunate or things could collapse in the next couple of days or hours and we have nothing to go back on, so its just a case of waiting, really. If the company goes into administration, their 150,000 uk package holiday customers will be brought home and those whove booked holidays will be refunded. Katie prescott, bbc news. The independents travel editor simon calder said the next 48 hours are crucial for the future of the tour operator. I think this looks more serious. We have deadlines coming up next friday when all the stakeholders involved in an incredibly complicated rescue bid need to agree that that is going to go through. It involves the Chinese Company fosun which also owns club med and Wolverhampton Wanderers putting in an awful lot of money. The lenders are transferring some of the debt they are owed into shares in the company and lots of other people involved in giving it the say so, but the banks have said, unless youve got another £200 million available to see you through the winter, then were not going to go ahead with this. And furthermore, just to make things even more lively at the Political Party conference season, 1st of october, a week on monday, their atoll license becomes due for renewal and they cant really continue as a Package Holiday Company without that. So, lots of deadlines, lots of talks. That was simon calder. Iran has warned that any military strike on its country, will lead to the destruction of the attacker. It comes after last weeks attack on Saudi Oil Production facilities which the us has blamed on iran. Major general hossein salami, reiterated tehrans defiance after the us announced it was sending more troops to shore up defences in saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. Translation anyone who wants the nation to become a battlefield, they are welcome. But we will never allow war to be declared on iran. Our security correspondent, frank gardner, is in the saudi capital riyadh. He has more on the reaction to washingtons decision of sending forces to saudi arabia. Well, very badly across the water in iran where there has been a furious verbal response from the Iranian Revolutionary guards, who have talked about a crushing response if anybody tries to hit iran. They have interpreted this move as being offensive, being aggressive, whereas here in saudi arabia, it is seen as defensive because, lets not forget, just a week ago, saudi arabia suffered a catastrophic attack by masked drones and cruise missiles that slammed into its critical oil infrastructure. So they have been working out, with their american allies, how to best respond to this and they have decided not to retaliate against iran, who they suspect was responsible, and instead to deploy further and bolster this countrys air defences, so here in saudi its being seen as a mild, defensive measure. It is not seen that way in iran at all. Four people have been arrested after Extinction Rebellion protesters occupied one side of a dual carriageway in kent in an attempt to blockade the port of dover. The climate activists have also reportedly glued themselves to the surface of the a20 where theyre holding up cars. The no food on a dying planet action at dover is expected to be mirrored across the channel by other Extinction Rebellion groups. Its thought more than a Million People will soon be living with the symptoms of dementia in the uk but, despite this, new Research Suggests theres still stigma around the condition. As part of world alzheimers day, campaigners are calling for more of us to recognise the needs of those living with dementia. Catherine da costa has more. Tenerife is my favourite, our favourite. Holiday. Yeah, tenerife is our favourite place. Yeah, we like that, dont we . Six years ago, angie, from banbury in oxfordshire, was diagnosed with early onset dementia, a rare form of the condition. Still in her early 60s, she lead an active life but struggles with language and everyday tasks. And i hate it. Cos when i am saying things to him i am obviously saying the wrong things and stuff. So its horrible. But dementia is like an elephant in the room. When you meet other people, nobody likes to talk about it. People try to ignore it. 0h, dont like to mention it. Maybe because they dont want to hurt you or maybe because they dont want to know or maybe because they dont understand it. Every year, more than 200,000 people are diagnosed with dementia in the uk. Thats three every minute. Its estimated the number living with the condition will reachi million by 2021. Good girl, well done. Micks hoping to break down some of the barriers for patients like angie. He helps to advise the nhs and businesses on how they can improve their care and services. Katharine da costa, bbc news, in banbury. British and allied veterans have joined events to honour them on the 75th anniversary of the largest airborne operation of the second world war, the battle of arnhem, including a mass parachute drop. It marked the failed bid to recapture a bridge across the river rhine from the nazis where more than 1500 servicemen died. One veteran, 97 year old sandy cortmann, joined nato pa ratroopers on todays jump in the netherlands. Our defence correspondent, Jonathan Beale gave us this update from arnhem. This is probably one of the last, biggest events like this they will hold while they can share it with those veterans who are still alive an ever dwindling number of the, around 60 here, as you mentioned. Sandy was the only one who carried out that assisted jump with the parachute regiments red devils. He landed here. He was applauded by the crowds. Were seeing a few more now jumping out here from an aircraft. That has been happening throughout the day, as you say. Hundreds of british but also nato troops simulating that landing that took place, obviously in more difficult circumstances, 75 years ago. An operation, lets remember, that ultimately failed because they did not capture that bridge at arnhem. Nevertheless, the people here still appreciate the sacrifice and each year children, schoolchildren, go to the cemeteries, the british war graves, and lay a flower on the graves of those who lost their lives. 1500 british were killed in that operation, 6000 taken prisoner. This is a special moment for the community here, also for the visitors, the families of those who took part in the event who have travelled overfrom britain, also from america as well. But it may well, as i say, be one of the last big occasions that those veterans are here to witness and to share this moment with the locals. French police have arrested dozens of people at the latest yellow vest Anti Government protests in paris. 7,500 members of the Security Forces have been deployed, far outnumbering the demonstrators.

Jeremy corbyn has quashed an attempt to oust tom watson as the deputy labour leader, a row which has overshadowed the start of the partys conference in brighton. The travel firm thomas cook has approached the government for emergency funding as it tries to avoid going into administration. Iran reacts defiantly in response to the us sending troops and Missile Defence systems to saudi arabia and the uae, after last weeks attack on saudi oilfacilities. And coming up we find out why Englands National parks say they want every schoolchild to spend a night under the stars. Lets stick with that story. Every schoolchild should have the chance to visit National Parks and areas of outstanding Natural Beauty and spend a night under the stars according to a government review. The report also recommends creating new National Parks in the chilterns, the cotswolds and dorset. Phil mackie reports. The first National Parks and areas of outstanding Natural Beauty in england were created 70 years ago. They include some of the nations most beautiful landscapes, like the lake district. The problem, according to the review, is that too few people are enjoying them and, when they do go, they dont spend enough time there. It says that every schoolchild in england should be given a chance to visit one of the ten parks and 3a aonbs and spend the night there, under the stars. It says it has a big, bold plan, including 27 recommendations. Among them, it says there should be a new National Landscapes service to bring the National Parks and areas of outstanding Natural Beauty together, programmes to increase the number of visitors from black and minority ethnic communities, and the creation of a Housing Association to build Affordable Homes within the parks. It also wants park rangers to be introduced, similar to those who patrol National Parks in the united states. Huge numbers of people in our country come and love places like this wonderful spot in the Peak District we are in today. Millions of people enjoy it, but millions dont, and weve got to make sure that these landscapes are here for everybody. Thats one of the core findings in our report we are publishing today. Its desire is that englands most cherished places should become more important parts of peoples lives, to help to make the nation greener, healthier and happier. Phil mackie, bbc news. And our reporterjayne mccubbin is out in the glorious derbyshire countryside where she caught up with the author of this new report. Come and meet the norton family. Good morning, everybody. Maureen from the campsite, you are not posh, are you . How much do you pay for a room . £14 a night for a tent. £14 a night, fantastic. Hannah and david, you come camping every year, and when did this love start . We have always been camping, ever since we were children. We used to go to cubs, scouts, all of that, parents took me. Duke of edinburgh. Thats how you got hooked. This is like a Third Generation passion. I think so, yes, my mum and dad took me camping 20 30 times a year, lots of times across europe. Last year, we bought a camper van to get back into this again. This is fantastic. This is about opening up the National Parks to more people. Maureen, you bring duke of edinburgh kids to your campsite, and what is gorgeous, many years down the line . Yes, many of them come back and visit us with their girlfriends or wives, you know, and it is really good. That is fab. Come and meet the author now. You wrote this report, tell us the big idea. The big idea is that 70 years after we founded our National Parks and areas of outstanding beauty, we have to do a lot more to make sure they are available for all people of the country, everybody can come to them. We propose a night under the stars for every child, they can come from school, enjoy the countryside, get to know us and get to love it. And we propose a lot more for nature, too, because we have a crisis of biodiversity, the challenge of climate change, there were protests this week, so more for nature and what people to make the place is greener, beautiful and happier. Who wouldnt want that . I have to tell you, a statement from the government, which is that they welcomed the findings of this report and agree with the spirit of ambition in it, and they will now carefully consider the recommendations set out in the review. Andrew, finally, you are from the campaign for National Parks. Is any of this going to happen . We certainly hope so. There are some really big ambitions that have been spelled out this morning, and really, this is day one, the hard work really starts here, so we are looking forward to working with julian, Theresa Villiers and other politicians to make sure that we see National Parts that are thriving for people and nature. Ok, well we will keep across this story, but for now, shall i leave you with this magnificent view over here . Isnt it gorgeous . And remember, the campsite round the corner, £7 per night young people might communicate using brain implants and Hologram Technology in the future thats according to a new survey from the Childrens Charity barnardos. They asked more than 3000 children and adults across britain how they think young people will talk to each other in 30 years time. Holograms and implants were amongst the most popular answers. The survey is part of a new report from the charity which urges the government to introduce new legislation to help protect Children Online now and in the future. Earlier, my colleague geeta guru murphy spoke to barnardos director of policy and communications, sagar sharma. I asked him to tell us a bit more about the findings of the survey. So, what was really interesting about this survey was it really indicates, on the 30th anniversary of both the internet and the childrens act, the pace of change around children and young people has been enormous, so weve got 9 of adults and 13 of children saying that they dont believe in 30 years hence we will be using written communication at all, actually, so there is only 13 and 9 who think that we will still be relying on written communication. There is much more focus, now, on holograms. So, 30 of children think that we will be using holograms. 40 believe there will be body implants. Im wearing Wearable Technology today. Its not a huge leap of the imagination to think that that could become a reality. What sort of body implants are you talking about . Well, they did not specify what. It was just this, the next iteration of this is likely to be noticeable. Now, that carries dangers, of course, as well. Now, we know that the internet has had huge opportunities for children. It has changed the way they learn, they way they communicate with each other. Its an amazing way for them to entertain themselves, but there are huge dangers online. Even now, when you can see. My eight year old daughter, i can see when shes on the ipad in the room. If this becomes Wearable Technology, our regulation, which is already 30 years out of date based on the childrens act, has no chance of keeping up, so what barnardos is saying is, look, technology is fantastic. Young people benefit hugely from it, but our regulation around keeping children safe online as we do off line in playgrounds, which are safe by design so should that experience online be safe. If we dont do it now, then in 30 years time, where some of the futurologists that weve interviewed are saying, well, much of what we think is going to drive communication in the future has not even been invented yet. So, we clearly cannot regulate for that. What we can do though, is really bring back the online harm white paper, which the government, we commend, has done some great work with select committees in putting together with the help of charities like barnardos. What we need to do, regardless of which party is in power, in the next couple of months this is an argue for something that needs to be put into legislation. We need to update for the online world. Fears that thousands people could storm the Top Secret Us Military base known as area 51 last night turned out to be unfounded. More than 3 million responded to a Facebook Post injune, calling for people to raid the facility in nevada in an attempt to uncover evidence of extra terrestrial life. But only around 75 people turned up, many of them in costume, and no one attempted to enter the site. Tim allman has more. Shouting. Laughter. As invasions go alien or otherwise this was a little underwhelming. Here at area 51, it seems fewer than that number bothered to turn up. But, for those who did, the hunt for little green men is always worthwhile. A bunch of random people in weird costumes, standing outside of a government base . Why would you want to miss that . Thats a once in a lifetime experience. Its like halloween, but were just. Annoying people. We clicked that wed be going, just for the fun of it, but as it got more popular, we decided, hey, why not go down and actually make a fun trip out of it . So we came down, were going camping and were going to check out the base as much as we can from here. But thats easier said than done. Miles of barbed wire fences and security cameras circle this top secret facility in nevada. What actually happens here is hush hush, but its believed to be a test site for experimental aircraft. Go in peace. Others, though, remain convinced the truth is still out there. I think if you witness it, you will believe. Theres stuff out there thats incredible that you wouldnt believe it unless you saw it for yourself. Im a believer there are aliens. There are aliens. One person was briefly detained for urinating near the main gate, but the whole event was reasonably good natu red. Then, invasion over, much like et, they all went home. Tim allman, bbc news. Lets just take you to brighton now where the labour Party Conference is about to get underway in the next few minutes. The labour supporters are collecting, about to sit down, getting ready for the conference. Somewhat overshadowed, though, by the upset and infighting that has been triggered after an attempt by the momentum leader to remove the deputy leader, tom watson. That idea, we were expecting a second vote at this conference today, the idea of him being ousted has been put on hold, after leaderJeremy Corbyn said we need to review the future of that position instead. So from 2 30pm, it actually starts at this time, and around that time, we are going to be hearing from wendy nicholls, who is the executive committee chair, she kicks it off. Eventually, expecting the first day to end at around 6pm between then and 7 30pm. Interesting lines to come out of this conference, we will update you on bbc news, stay with us. Us singerjennifer lopez, closed the versaces spring 2020 show in milan in an updated version of the iconic green dress she wore nearly 20 years ago. Lopez first wore the versace gown to the Grammy Awards in february 2000 that caught the worlds attention. Countless seaches for the dress online led to the invention of google images. Former google Ceo Eric Schmidt said at the time said it was the most popular search query we had ever seen. And about to kick off again, i suspect. Now its time for a look at the weather with lucy martin. We saw 27 celsius on anglesey today, plenty of blue sky and sunshine for much of the british isles. Some sharp showers pushing into the south west of england, wales as well, a few shops showers for northern ireland, some thunder possible with these. Elsewhere, dry and fine with lots of sunshine as we move through this afternoon. Temperatures getting into the mid to high 20s, a warm day across the board. Change is on the way, we will see a cold front working in as we move overnight. Some showers ahead of it, could become heavy and thundery. Temperature is mild overnight, some not getting much lower than 17 celsius. Tomorrow, xiao was pushing north and a more prolonged spell of rain, could be the odd rumble of thunder as well. Bright skies behind, still the risk ofa bright skies behind, still the risk of a few sharp showers, cooler tomorrow, highs of around 23 celsius. It is looking unsettled through next week, temperatures are sitting in the mid to high teens. Hello this is bbc news.
