Good afternoon. The labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has sought to play down divisions in his top team after one of his key aides announced hes resigning. It comes as the party prepares to debate brexit. Heres our Political Correspondent nick eardley. Not everything here is going according to plan. Jeremy corbyn wants to persuade you he is ready for power, but one of his key aides has raised concerns. Andrew fisher, still by mr corbyns side this morning, is quitting, privately accusing the leaders team of a blizzard of lies and saying he no longer has faith in them. I have obviously seen the words that andrew wrote, and i discussed them with him at some length. Why do you think he said that . I think he said that because he was extremely distressed at that point about whatever was going on in discussions in the office at that moment. Jeremy corbyn would much rather focus on his policies, but the start of the conference has been dominated by controversy. Yesterday, there was a foiled plot mr corbyns left wing allies to get rid of his outspoken deputy, tom watson. It wasnt a move against him specifically, but concerns about the role of deputy leader, and i was not aware that the particular motion was going to be moved at that time. I dont think we should make rule changes on a whim. At the heart of some tensions is brexit, with tom watson again calling this afternoon for the party to say it backs staying in the eu to be unequivocally pro remain. Many members agree, and they are frustrated that the leadership hasnt picked a side. They are walking a tightrope, trying to appeal to both remain and leave voters, but mr corbyn just will not commit. We will put both views and say, this is the best deal we can get, this is the remain and hopefully reform option, these are the choices before you. If you negotiate what you regard as a good deal with brussels, do you campaign for it or not . Lets see what we get and well put that final decision to the people. Is he a Prime Minister in waiting . It is a question voters might be asked soon. If it wins power, Jeremy Corbyn says he will serve a full term, but what that means with brexit is still unclear. Nick eardley, bbc news, at the Labour Party Conference in brighton. Well, iain watson is at the Party Conference now. On brexit, any clear on labour policy. Dog of the National Executive has agreed a position, in effect to stay neutral during a general election, to offer a referendum with remain on the ballot paper, to negotiate a deal, and then subsequently, after the general election, to hold a special conference, and that would then decide whether the official policy is leave all remain going into a referendum that a Labour Government would call. So that is the official position, and of course some are opposing that, suggesting the party should be overtly remain during the course of the general election itself. Im joined by shadow home secretary diane abbott, i was going to ask about your speech, i promise i will do that, but since they have asked me about this, lets talk about the brexit negotiations. The National Executive seems to have agreed Jeremy Corbyns position, which is that during a general election tea party doesnt endorse leave or remain, is that a position you will hold two during the general election . Would you back remain ain . Election . Would you back remain again . I represent a solidly remain constituency, and i havent altered that position, but we need to arrive ata that position, but we need to arrive at a position that everyone can unite behind, and i think the statement that is coming forward will do that. You have to bear in mind the lib dems arent offering a choice, the tories arent offering a choice. We are the only Party Offering the people a say, and i think the labour party can unite around that. You have said you will offer people a say, but some members offer people a say, but some members of the shadow cabinet, Emily Thornberry in particular, saying that during the general Election Campaign labour should be leading the campaign to remain, and then one ofJeremy Corbyns biggest supporters, Len Mccluskey, saying that anyone in the shadow cabinet that anyone in the shadow cabinet that does not stick to the line, in other words neither leave or remain, they should stand aside. Other words neither leave or remain, they should stand asidelj other words neither leave or remain, they should stand aside. I mean, Len Mccluskey is entitled to say what he says, but my view is that jeremy is arriving at a position which has a peoples vote at the heart of it, andl peoples vote at the heart of it, and i believe labour can unite behind that position. Dog you think members of the shadow cabinet should stand aside if they say that they we re stand aside if they say that they were back remain . What are members of the shadow cabinet do is a matter for them. You think the leader might be able to remove members of the shadow cabinet if they do not toe the line . What members of the shadow cabinet will do will result from the discussions that we have, but ultimately it is not a matter for any individual other than the leader. I understand what you are saying, but in this atmosphere at Party Conference at the moment, the words we would like to use our unity, but isnt it divisive for a major trade union leader be calling for members of the shadow cabinet effectively to be sacked if they express their views on brexit . Every Labour Party Conference i have been to in recent years, journalists like you, andl to in recent years, journalists like you, and i mean that kindly, you hope to whip up a labour split story. No, i am not whipping up that story, i am quoting Len Mccluskey actually, we are moving towards a more unified position on brexit than we have had for some time. Jeremy is now saying that a peoples vote is at the heart of our policy officer, it seems to me that we are moving closer together. I think, and you will be at this co nfe re nce think, and you will be at this conference for the next few days and you will see it, conference and shadow cabinet members want to unite behind Jeremy Corbyn, because we know that in months, maybe even weeks, we will be in a general election. A snap election perhaps in a matter of weeks, you have talked about people whipping up labour split stories, does it help, let me talk about you, does it help, in this kind of atmosphere, when it comes to labour splits, for you to vote to abolish the deputy leader of the labour pa rtys vote to abolish the deputy leader of the labour partys post on the eve of your Party Conference . Was that a goodidea . Of your Party Conference . Was that a good idea . I think you will find ive voted to have a discussion. And it is not unreasonable to discuss the party when we are all together at the nec and on the eve of conference. Nobody was voting to abolish tom watson. We were voting to have a discussion. A discussion to have a discussion. A discussion to abolish tom watson no, about the structure of the party. Jeremy came with a proposal, and we all voted for it. Is someone who has worked in the media as well, it is likely to dominate the headlines if you voted to have a debate about the deputy leaders role on the eve of conference, amidst criticisms of that deputy leader. The truth is that deputy leader. The truth is that if the nec had agreed on bacon and egg for breakfast, journalists would be framing it as a labour split story. The plp framed it as a split story. The plp framed it as a split story, they said this was counter productive, that this was the wrong thing to do on the eve of an election, and even the chair of the plp talked about the potential foran the plp talked about the potential for an internal civil war. That is a member of the labour party, not a journalist. I did not vote to abolish tom watson, i voted to have abolish tom watson, i voted to have a debate on it, we had a debate, jeremy came, we had a wider debate, and we have agreed a position that almost every member of the nec has agreed to behind. To have a second deputy leader . We are having a review, and we may well have a second deputy, but i would not want to pre empt the results of that review. I did promise to talk about the things in your speech, immigration, closing detention centres for example, and some of the grassroots activists here say they should be a clear commitment to close all detention centres, there should be Community Based solutions found. You havent gone quite that far. They have also said that as someone far. They have also said that as someone who voted to remain in the referendum, and others, they have been on the back foot in terms of freedom of movement, and you should be arguing for the benefits of that. Would they be disappointed in your speech today . I have always argued for the benefits of freedom of movement, because i have been, for most of my political career, in advance of some members of the labour party on immigration. That is why i am talking about abolishing two immigration centres to begin with, and then reviewing the entire immigration estate. I have always seen the benefits of freedom of movement, but when i referred in my speech to the benefits of migration for nhs and social care, that is predicated on the freedom of movement, sol predicated on the freedom of movement, so i hope that people will recognise that they heard a speech which they possibly would not have heard in the past. Let me finish where we started and come back to brexit. If you are in favour of freedom of movement, talking about benefits to public services, is it essential that labour negotiates a leave deal to put to the people that would include freedom of movement, oi would include freedom of movement, or should that end in a leave deal . It is not for me to talk about negotiations. You are in the shadow cabinet, why not . It is not for me to talk about the detail of negotiations, i am a remainer representing a solidly remain constituency, but i dont think we can ignore the 17 Million People who voted to leave, and many of them we re voted to leave, and many of them were labour voters, so the idea that were labour voters, so the idea that we should have a referendum where people are offered a choice, i think thatis people are offered a choice, i think that is the right thing. But we can say at this point what will emerge from fresh negotiation. Finally, putting media considerations aside, in terms of Party Members here, do you think they can avoid what would look Like Division tomorrow if there are two separate motions on brexit, once in the party must campaign to remain, the other saying we will leave it to a special conference, do you think that division can be avoided tomorrow . What is your advice to grassroots members . Because it can, because these members support Jeremy Corbyn. The bulk of them voted for him the first time, the second time, and they are preparing to unite behind him in a general election. Sol preparing to unite behind him in a general election. So i think the row that you are hoping for can very well be avoided. I am not necessarily hoping for a row, just arguing if there will be one, you are two competing motions, what can be done behind closed doors to stop that happening to what unites members is the support forJeremy Corbyn and his programme, and i believe that a row can very well be avoided. What would you say to seniorfigures in the party avoided. What would you say to senior figures in the party who are saying, to grassroots activists, dont compromise, dont back down, dont compromise, dont back down, dont settle for a fudge, make sure you put out fully crowded remain option to the conference floor tomorrow . Apply well, i couldnt possibly comment. I believe that people will unite behind the leadership. Diane abbott, thank you very much, the shadow home secretary, uniting behind the leadership there, saying that she thinks they can come to some kind of consensus on brexit, although she will make it very clear that she is willing to remain during a general election, she could also support a policy where the party itself stays officially neutral. Iain watson in brighton, thank you very much for that. Plans are in place to fly holiday makers back to the uk if the Tour Operator thomas cook collapses, according to the foreign secretary. Dominic raab said the government would make sure no one would be stranded, but he dampened hopes of a government rescue bid for the firm. The travel company is currently in emergency talks and insists a deal to save it is still possible. Our transport correspondent tom burridge reports. The beginning of a holiday in majorca, on the day when britains oldest travel agent is fighting to stay afloat. A deal to save thomas cook is, we are told, still possible, but it has to come in a matter of hours. I couldnt care less. If i get stuck, i get stuck. We are rather concerned as to what will happen, whether we can fly home or not. Last night, confusion for holiday makers at this hotel in tunisia, as they were effectively held hostage. The hotel was, we are told, worried that money owed to it by thomas cook might not be paid. And then there are people like andrew and sharon, uncertain if their dream las vegas wedding, booked with thomas cook, will happen. Your heart sinks, youve planned everything to the minute detail, and suddenly everything could come apart at the last moment. Its just a feeling of limbo, we are not sure. The companys fate will be decied at a meeting here, where investors need to stump up an additional £200 million by tonight so thomas cook can keep operating in the coming months. In the uk, 9000 jobs are at stake. 150,000 brits are currently on thomas cook holidays abroad. The government says if the company collapses, people will be brought home. People on or booked on a thomas cook package holiday are protected under the atol scheme. If youve booked just a flight, it will be travel insurance or a claim to your credit or debit card company, but the company is, for now at least, still operating normally. Our correspondent Angus Crawford is in central london. Lots of talks going on today, angus, what do we know so far . Well, to quote an industry insider, this is really the last throw of the dice for thomas coke. We know that there isa for thomas coke. We know that there is a high level taking place in the city here, we have got the board of thomas cook around a table with the banks and major shareholders, including the biggest shareholder, a chinese company, fosun, trying to work out how to get another £200 million invested into the business. One insider has said they are hopeful of a deal in the next few hours and that no one wants to be the person that pulls the plug. So what happens next . That is likely to bea what happens next . That is likely to be a Board Meeting of thomas cook later this afternoon or this evening, and they dont have to inform the markets until seven oclock tomorrow morning, and as we have learned from previous issues around Holiday Companies and administration, if we are going to get some kind of announcement, it is likely to be in the wee small hours, the so called golden hours when all of thomas cooks planes are likely to be on the ground. So we can expect to hear something potentially late tonight, nothing before then. Too difficult to guess what is coming out of the meeting, absolutely no Smoke Signals at all. Thomas cook officially remaining tight lipped, saying they understand that people may be unsettled by the situation but at the moment Flight Operations continue to operate as normal. And very quickly, angus, it is not just customers normal. And very quickly, angus, it is notjust customers we are talking about, a lot of concern from the workers, the employees. Absolutely, there are thousands in the uk, thousands worldwide, the Company Operates in 16 different territories, and one of the things the union has said is that this is a Vital National resource, it is the countrys oldest travel agent, there are thousands ofjobs potentially at risk, and what they are saying is that it risk, and what they are saying is thatitis risk, and what they are saying is that it is a basic equation that the government has to look at us potentially help stump up or back up the 200 million that is needed now oi the 200 million that is needed now orfork out something the 200 million that is needed now or fork out Something Like 600 million to bring back the iso600,000 british million to bring back the 150 600 , 000 british holiday makers should be company go down in the next couple of days. So yes, we are concerned is not just next couple of days. So yes, we are concerned is notjust for customers, but also for the thousands of workers, call centres, flying the aircraft, the reps, and of course in the high street travel agencies themselves. Angus crawford, thank you very much for that. The headlines on bbc news labour insists it can win a general election as arguments rumble beneath the surface over the partys brexit stance. Meanwhile, the party is promising free prescriptions for all as it tries to put policy back in the spotlight at a Party Conference overshadowed by internal rows.

Hundreds of riot police have clashed with protestors at a Shopping Centre and Railway Station complex in hong kong, after hard line activists smashed ticketing machines and glass billboards. Its the 16th weekend of protests by pro democracy campaigners. Our correspondent Stephen Mcdonnell is in hong kong and watched the demonstrations as police fired tear gas at the protesters. Right now it is a peaceful sunday evening. People are jogging along next to the river behind me or going for walks, Something Like that. Hard to believe that about an hour ago there a violent conflict in the streets here. This all started when people gathered in a Shopping Centre here. It was peaceful, there was singing and chanting. And then at one point the more hard line wing of the Pro Democracy Movement moved on the mtr station and started smashing it up. The ticketing machine smashed and spraying graffiti on the walls, and then even in the general Shopping Centre there were neon signs and ads, you know, glass ads, being smashed up, lots of glass strewn along the floor. People had built a barricade at one point inside the Shopping Centre, and sprayed stuff all over the ground to make the police slip over in order to slow the approach of the riot police. Well, the right police did, though, come, and then eventually it all spilled out into the streets. You know, the Shopping Centres of hong kong have become one of the battle grounds here, and especially the mtr stations, because these hardline protesters blame the train operator for colluding with the police and with the government. They say that following pressure from mainland Chinese Media controlled by the communist party that whenever they have a protest, that line will be shut down or stations will be closed, and so for that reason they think it is fair game to go and smash out the mtr stations. Even many people who support the more general goals of the protest movement dont all necessarily support that, and so they are kind of playing with fire in terms of public support. Nevertheless, though, with all this destruction here, of course the riot police moved in and cleared people out. We had running street battles with rubber bullets being fired, with the so called beanbag rounds. They are shot gun pellets wrapped in bags. They were fired, tear gas, bricks being thrown in the other direction at the police, and then eventually, when they moved in fast enough, the raptor units, as they are called, moved in to try and grab as many protesters as they could, and at that stage the activists fled from the scene, and now it has kind of, as i say, returned to normal here, except that you can see still much of the debris of a political crisis now in its fourth month strewn all over the area. A boy aged 15 has been stabbed to death at a skatepark in berkshire. The teenager was pronouced dead at the scene at Salt Hill Park in slough. Police believe last nights attack happened after an argument and are appealing for witnesses. As weve been hearing at the Labour Party Conference, the party wants to abolish nhs prescription charges in england, bringing it in line with the rest of the uk. Earlier i spoke to dr samantha walker, deputy chief executive at asthma uk, who told me why theyve been campaigning for an end to prescription charges. It is unfair for people with asthma largely because it affects people of all ages, they are predominantly not older people who often dont pay for prescriptions, so a big population of people who are in work but poorly paid, so disproportionately it affects those peoples ability to take the medicine they need to stay well. I am sure many people who have to pay for prescriptions will be saying, they may well say abolish it completely, but why asthma, why abolish the prescription for asthma . What is it about the nature of asthma that means that it should perhaps have been put on that list back in 1968 . Asthma affects 5. 5 Million People in the uk, and three people die every day of it, and it is a condition that can affect you at different times during your life, and it is very variable, and the drugs are essentially life saving, by using inhalers you massively reduce your risk of going to hospital or dying of an asthma attack. People need to take these drugs through their whole lifetime, but they are life saving. A memorial has been held for a swiss alpine glacier thats disappearing. Scientists, Climate Change activists and hikers marched up the pizol, dressed in black and laid a wreath to mark the loss of the glacier to Climate Change. Its nowjust a fraction of its original size. Heres our correspondent Imogen Foulkes on whats been happening today. Well, what weve got is dozens of people going up to the remains of the glacier. Youve got local people, youve got climbers, hikers environmentalists, also glacier specialists whove been charting the demise of this glacier for some years now. And the problem is its basically not a glacier any more, because its been reduced to a few frozen lumps, the rock and the earth and the mud are poking up in between. Its just broken up, whats left of the ice, and there isnt much left, it will be gone very, very soon. But we have in this country a population that cares very deeply about the environment. And we have a number of very, very advanced research Glacier Research units, here in bern at the university of zurich as well. And they have been charting the decline of switzerlands glaciers over many many years. Now we know glaciers are supposed to retreat and then advance, thats normal. What were seeing right now is a really fast, unexpected, not normal retreat. And ive talked to numerous glaciologists in switzerland involved in this work, and they are actually united in their conviction that this is to do with Global Warming and will have consequences for the glaciers supplying fresh water to europe. They hold the permafrost in the alps together. That means cable car stanchions, that means stopping rolling rock and mudslides down into the alpine valleys. Its notjust alpine scenery. Were talking about here were talking about an increasingly fragile environment. Now its time for a look at the weather with phil avery. Our weather is on the change, and some of you will have already noticed that we dont have a big area of High Pressure with warm weather, we have atlantic fronts bringing belts of cloud and rain or showers ever further towards the north and east through the rest of the afternoon, on into the evening andindeed the afternoon, on into the evening and indeed overnight. Following on behind, yes, a scattering of showers, many dying out, but despite clearer skies, not a cold night, and that will be a feature of the forthcoming week. Make the most of the dry starter in northern ireland, wales and the south west, because it will not stay that way, already the next set of atlantic fronts bringing cloud, wind and rain. The old weather front looking across the far north of scotland, but in between, northern and eastern parts, a really decent sort of day, temperatures in the teens, if not the low 20s, but the teens, if not the low 20s, but the forthcoming week marked by further spells of wet and windy weather.
