As Rugby World Cup hosts japan make history by beating ireland for the first time, with a stunning 19 12 victory. And coming up, the best of the weeks exclusive interviews and reports, from the Victoria Derbyshire programme. Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, says a minority Labour Government is becoming more likely every day, as opposition parties consider whether to call a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister. It follows a tumultuous week for Boris Johnson, with criticism of his use of language in the house of commons and his referral to a Police Watchdog, following allegations that a businesswoman received favourable treatment, when he was mayor of london. The government has described that move as politically motivated. Heres our political correspondent, nick eardley. Power is seldom easy. Borisjohnson has found out quicker than mostjust how hard it can be and the pressure keeps on coming. Come to london, build your businesses here the mayor of london supports you the Police Watchdog has been asked to investigate his relationship with this businesswoman, jennifer arcuri, over claims she received favourable treatment, including grants and places on trade trips, when mrjohnson was mayor of london. The pm denies any wrongdoing, and downing street is furious. This is issue is being politically driven, it is politically motivated, and the Prime Minister has been clear that proprieties were observed. Mrjohnson will be in manchester later, for his partys conference. But, with Parliament Still sitting, 160 miles away, tory mps could be called back any minute. Opposition parties are considering their next move, in the parliamentary brexit battle. The snp want to bring down the government next week and put a temporary Prime Minister, likeJeremy Corbyn, in place, to extend a brexit deadline and call a general election. I think it is only right and proper that he, as the leader of the largest opposition party, should have the first opportunity to form an administration. But, if another name appears in the frame, ken clarke or dominic grieve, that people can coalesce around, then i personally, and i think the snp, would have very little difficulty with that. An open goalfor labour . Not quite. Other opposition parties are not playing ball. So far, he just does not have the numbers and yet. It is getting more likely every single day, because this government is collapsing, it has now lost all seven votes, since Boris Johnson became Prime Minister, and this tory government has been defeated over 45 times in parliament. They dont have a majority, they dont have a programme, they dont have policies and they do not have any credibility. That doesnt necessarily mean the next few days, but with the 31st of october getting ever closer, the pressure will increase. On opposition parties, and on the government, in this most fractious political periods. Our political correspondent, Jonathan Blake is in manchester. Jonathan, Jonathan Blake is in manchester. It is going to be difficult jonathan, it is going to be difficult for the conservatives to keep the focus on what they have planned for the conference this week. With so much uncertainty back at westminster . Yes, normally the Conference Season at westminster . Yes, normally the Conference Season is a time for parties to focus on their own agenda. And to get their message gcioss agenda. And to get their message across to, not only the Party Faithful who gather in, whether it is here manchester, or other cities gcioss is here manchester, or other cities across the uk, but the public more widely. We are in unusual times and the conservatives are missing here in manchester this weekend for the next few days, with Parliament Still up next few days, with Parliament Still up and running back down in westminster. Normally, of course, mps would shut up shop for a few weeks, but things are a bit different this time around, thanks to the suspension of parliament that was overturned by the courts and the refusal of mps to grant a recess specifically for the conservative conference this weekend. Yes, as mps and Party Members gather here in manchester, they will have had i back down in westminster. Because opposition parties are talking up the prospect of passing our no confidence vote in the government and passing for, although it does not look likely that will happen. The vote of no confidence will happen, in the immediate future, simply because opposition parties are worried that if they do that, then they will surrender some control, and allow borisjohnson the election that he wants, and allow him to determine the timing of the election that he wants. Potentially allowing a no deal brexit to happen in the meantime. So it is a tense time, but one in which the conservative party, despite what is happening at westminster, will be looking to ram home its message of delivering brexit by the end of october with or without a deal, focusing on the domestic agenda as well. In terms of the power of the opposition parties to get Boris Johnson out of downing street, that dispute is going on between the snp and the liberal democrats and labour, who do not seeJeremy Corbyn as an acceptable alternative. How difficult will it be to get this idea of a government of National Unity off the ground . idea of a government of National Unity off the ground . I think it is going to be very difficult. It is one potential way forward, which opposition parties and the former conservative mps thrown out of the conservative mps thrown out of the conservative party by borisjohnson for voting against the government, have talked about in recent weeks. And the idea make sensible enough, that ifJeremy Corbyn is too divisive figure to have as a temporary Prime Minister, then you ta ke temporary Prime Minister, then you take an mp perhaps you will not be standing at the next election, such as ken clarke, long serving members of parliament, who could command a majority on a temporary basis, from opposition parties across the house. To form a temporary government of National Unity, as it would be called. The trouble is the different opposition parties all want different things. Besides delaying brexit and avoiding coming out of the eu without a deal, besides getting rid of borisjohnson and the current government, you have the liberal democrats who want to secure a further referendum, the Scottish National party with an eye on what their agenda is and securing a further referendum for scottish independence. The labour party with their own brexit position which has been carefully arrived at through a very torturous process of policy formulation, and various others in between. It is very hard for them to come together with a common aim and say that if were going to have a temporary government, if were going to re m ove temporary government, if were going to remove Boris Johnson temporary government, if were going to remove borisjohnson from office, what do you do with it . Jonathan blake in manchester, think you very much. Jeremy corbyn has said that, if labour is elected, it will scrap the governments flagship welfare system, universal credit. Mr corbyn, who has been giving a speech in chingford, described the benefit as cruel and inhumane and outlined his partys approach. There is a number of things we will do, leading up to scrapping universal credit, in its entirety. Cheering. But first of all, we will end the capability for Work Assessment tests that go on and are so brutal to people in their lives and have led, tragically, to some people taking their own lives and committing suicide, because they cannot see any way forward. As a constituency mp, i sit with people going through the pain of being told theyre capable for work, when they are clearly not. Jeremy corbyn speaking earlier in chingford. Leading democrats in congress have made their first demand for documents in the impeachment inquiry into President Trump. The secretary of state, mike pompeo, has been ordered to hand over ukraine related material within a week. The us special envoy to ukraine, kurt volker, has resigned. Our north america correspondent, david willis, reports. God bless you, mr President Donald Trump is defiant and lashing out on his preferred medium, twitter. Taking aim at the man who will play a key role in his impeachment hearings, the democratic chairman of the house intelligence committee, adam schiff. Of him, the president said the whistle blower, the whistle blower, who revealed details of his telephone conversation with ukraines president , volodymyr zelenskiy, mr trump has branded a partisan operative. Yet, the whistle blowers account of events has proved uncannily accurate, not only about the contents of the telephone call, but attempts by the white house to cover them up. They have now confirmed that a transcript of the call was moved to a more secure server. As the democrats impeachment inquiry gathers pace, today saw the first subpoena to the secretary of state, mike pompeo, demanding documents relating to contacts between members of his staff and the government of ukraine. Committee members also said they had scheduled depositions from five state department officials, among them the former Us Ambassador to the ukraine, marie yovanovitch, who was recalled over policy disagreements with President Trump. And the us special envoy to ukraine, kurt volker, who is said to have helped President Trumps personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, set up meetings there with government officials. Shortly after the news of the depositions was announced, mr volker resigned from his job at the state department. President trumps reaction to the impeachment inquiry continues to veer from anger to incredulity. The witchhunt continues. But they are getting hit hard on this witchhunt, because when they look at the information, its a joke. Impeachment for that . yet the pressure is growing from outside congress, as well as within. More than 300 former Us National Security officials, from both republican and democratic administrations, have endorsed the impeachment inquiry, saying they want to know the facts. Events are moving quickly here, with some democrats predicting that articles of impeachment could be ready to be voted on by the end of november. David willis, bbc news, los angeles. Ive been speaking to doctor Leslie Vinjamuri head of the us and Americas Programme at the Foreign Policy think tank, Chatham House about the democrats decision to launch an impeachment inquiry into President Trump dealings with ukraine. Nancy pelosi has been under pressure from certain parts of her party to begin impeachment hearings for quite some time and she has been very pragmatic. She has let the Mueller Report run its course, she watched findings be released, pushed for the finginds, has allowed a number of investigations. Remember there are investigations ongoing in multiple house committees. She has resisted, until this point, turning this into a formal impeachment. So i think the news of the whistle blower report, the initial refusal of the executive branch to turn that over to the house, the transcripts such as we saw, i think nancy pelosi made a very clearjudgment at this point that there was no other path than to actually begin it. And do you have a sense, because in the past there have been lots of enquiries by congress against the president , almost seems as if people have been dragged from the administration to defend the president on a weekly basis, it has seemed. The reaction from the trump base has been that it is all politics, just games playing. Will this process be seen differently . Because presumably it is a Political Risk for the democrats . It is, but remember that the most important decision is whether or not the actions of the president were unlawful, whether he violated the trust of the American People and i think that, as people begin to see these hearings, as they begin to see the evidence, the attitudes will change. Now, some of those attitudes will harden against the democrats, but inevitably when the question of a president , the allegations of a president working with a Foreign Government to interfere in future elections, and also to link americas military assistance, to condition it on that pressure, are very, very grave. So i think as we see those hearings, peoples attitudes will change. We have seen, since the decision, an uptick, more people supporting. Quite dramatic in some of the polls . I saw one support had leapt 12 in one, as opposed to 47 presumably that will settle down but perhaps it suggests the public are engaging more . The numbers have not spiked as much on the republican side, but it is going to be very dynamic. Attitudes will change, a lot will come down to how the hearings are conducted. Exactly what charges move forward, and how the evidence is framed. There will be a campaign, we have already seen it, to attempt to defame the whistle blower by the president , and people around him. A lot of people are going to peel off from this administration. We have already seen very high resignation from kurt volker, a number of people will be called to testify, people who the American Public respect. So the notion that this is just more of the same, i think, is fundamentally misconceived and under anticipates how much is going to come out over the next few months. The headlines on bbc news.

The polls have closed in the afghan president ial election. Voting was marred by bomb attacks. The Election Commission had extended the voting by two hours due to long queues of people waiting to cast their ballots. Our correspondent, shwaib sharifi, is in kabul and told us earlier that voting turnout was patchy and low, throughout afghanistan. It is very difficult to know, at this time, the exact level of turnout, across the country. But it has continued to be patchy and low throughout, particularly in the mornings, initially because of the fears of serious taliban warning, a day ahead of the voting. And also the voting centres were opened parallel to multiple attacks, mortar attacks, in some cities in afghanistan, including the one in Southern Province of kandahar, where, inside a polling centre, a bomb exploded, wounding at least 16 people who had come there to cast their vote. This, somehow, added to the already worries about attacks against polling centres. And the turnout continued to be low, and that, perhaps, maybe, is the reason that the independent Election Commission extended the voting timing to another two hours, it was supposed to close at 1500, kabul time, but reports from some provinces of afghanistan indicate people later, slightly, got momentum to turnout to the voting centres. And that was one of the reasons that the time was extended. And in some places, in the morning, due to security and logistical problems, some centres had failed to either open on time, or operate on time. So, another hourfrom now, the voting centres will be open but, still, compared to the 2018 parliamentary elections and the previous president ial elections, turn it doesnt seem to be very impressive. The british flagged oil tanker that was seized for allegedly breaking maritime rules, has docked in dubai. Stena bulk stena imperos swedish owner said the crew will be repatriated, after being detained for 10 weeks. The vessel was taken in the strait of hormuz injuly two weeks after an iranian tanker was held off gibraltar with the help of the uk royal marines. Tehran has strongly denied that it took the ship as an act of retaliation. Hong kong have fired water canon to disperse Anti Government protesters who threw rocks and blocked a key road next to a huge pro democracy. Demonstrators have been holding a rally, to mark the fifth anniversary of the start of the so called umbrella protests. It happened near the Legislative Council building, where many previous Anti Government demonstrations in recent weeks have been held. The umbrella demonstrations began in 2014 but the movement has surged again this year. More rallies are due to be held over the weekend as protesters continue their calls for political change. More than half of the thomas cook passengers whos travelled abroad when the company went bust have now been flown home to the uk. The firm ceased trading on monday, after failing to secure a bailout. Lets get an update on operation matterhorn as its known, from the chair of the Civil Aviation authority which is co ordinating it, dame deirdre hutton. Thank you for coming in. It has been quite a week for you and your collea g u es quite a week for you and your colleagues at the caa . It certainly is but it is good the programme is on track. We have brought back half of the 50,000. There have been lumps and bumps on the way, as you always find with the Aviation Industry as i am very grateful to passengers for putting up with that. I am also pleased that 95 of those people, the vast majority, have come back on the vast majority, have come back on the day they would have come back at the day they would have come back at the end of their holiday anyway. So most would have got back when they we re most would have got back when they were hoping to, not necessarily to the same airport but at least the same country . The same country and on the right day. So everybody who is still out there, the other 75,000, stay out there and enjoy your holiday and we will bring you back on the right day. On the practicalities of this, what are the lessons for this experience in terms of preventing arising in other companies, be it British Airways or other operators like thomas cook . You will head the government struck about an insolvency review. I think government is now committed to looking at the arrangements for airlines to Companies Going into administration. At the moment it is administration. At the moment it is a drop dead system which frankly makes it very hard for the caa. We have effectively set up a pop up airline, the fourth largest in the uk, ina airline, the fourth largest in the uk, in a few weeks. That is a big task. In terms of that, presumably, ultimately, the costs of wellness will be picked up by the taxpayer, because presumably there arent the assets lessen thomas cook to pay for it . Dont forget that 6096 of these passengers are covered by the atoll scheme and there is plenty of money within that ato well scheme that we run, to repay for all of that. About 40 are not covered by atol and the government will pick up that bill, though they will get some of that back. The other question i thought was particularly interesting, which we have had a lot of nice new, many we re we have had a lot of nice new, many were facing a terrible situation where the books and pay for a holiday but then, because the hotels and other places they were staying only get paid in arrears, we are faced with hoteliers saying you need to pay this bill and if you dont we will have to kick you out. How have you been becoming involved in all of that . A great deal. Certainly, the beginning of this was tricky. The hotels were owned a lot of money. You cant blame them for being cross. 3000 hotels involved and we have sent guarantee letters to all of those 3000. We have started making payments and we have now spoken personally to about 2500. Were also getting a lot of help from foreign office. So the hotels issue has all the cams down, it was difficult for the first two days. In terms of that, that money will come out of the atol scheme . Yes it well. You said more than half are now home, is there an endgame to the operation matterhorn . Yes, there will be an end, next sunday. We will help those after that but we will not need our own aeroplanes because there is plenty of capacity within there is plenty of capacity within the system, but we will be making sure all those atol protected people will get on. From where the caa sets, how steady and security is the Airline Industry . The air tour and the Airline Industry, we keep an eye on them all through the year, every year, you have a session amount of failures, 15 20, Something Like that, and we cope with that. There is no one we are worried about at the moment but it is a very competitive market. With so many. Thomas cook was unusual because of the age of it . And the scale of it. Iam the age of it . And the scale of it. I am grateful to the thomas cook staff who have worked with us putting aside their own distress. Thank you very much for coming to talk to us. The hosts of the Rugby World Cup japan have recorded one of the biggest upsets in the sports history. They have beaten ireland one of the favourites to lift the trophy by 19 points to 12. Our sports correspondent, andy swiss, watched the match in shizuoka. Well, what a memorable night for the thousands of japan fans, here in shizuoka. Four years ago, at the world cup, of course, it was south africa. Now it was ireland on the end of another remarkable giant killing. Ireland, who seemed to have taken control of the first half, they scored two early tries. The first from gary ringrose, as he collected a fine kick from jack carty. Carty then set up the second try as well, for rob kearney. At that point, ireland really seemed in control. They were 12 3 up. Butjapan upped the tempo. They came back before the break, three penalties meant ireland led only 12 9, at half time. Butjapan had all the momentum and then, with 20 minutes to go, japan scored the try that sent theirfans into raptures. The try, courtesy of kenki fukuoka, who went over in the corner. That gave them the lead, ireland could find no way back as japan landed a late penalty, to make it 19 12 at the final whistle. Such disappointment for ireland, but forjapan, it is now two wins out of two and, after other a memorable night here, they are on course to make the quarterfinals. Doctors have heralded an extraordinary transformation in the treatment of a deadly form of skin cancer. Ten years ago, advanced melanoma was seen as untreatable, but a Clinical Trial shows half of patients are now surviving for at least five years. The drugs involved target the immune system and are already available on the nhs. Our health and science correspondent James Gallagher reports. Pam smith is alive and well. But its been more than five years since she had the devastating news that her cancer was untreatable. An aggressive melanoma had spread inside her body and she says she didnt stand a chance. But pam took part in a pioneering trial and says it saved her life. Without having drugs like that, i might not have got to see my grandchildren. So. Because its just over the five years now since it happened and my youngest grandchild, he was six at the weekend. So, you know, i wouldnt have seen him growing up and the other grandchildren, as well. Ten years ago, people usually died within six to nine months of being diagnosed. This trial, on 9115 patients, tested a combination of immunotherapies and it showed 52 were still alive five years later. The doctor whos presenting the data at a cancer conference said the impact was an amazing surprise. Its been the most extraordinary transformation, from a disease that was regarded, amongst all the cancers, as the most difficult to treat, with the most serious prognosis, to, as you say, the possibility that 50 of people with stage four melanoma will be alive, five years after having immunotherapy treatment. Pam has not been cured. Her cancer halved in size, after treatment and has not grown in five years. Others are in complete remission, with no sign of the tumour in their body. Immunotherapy is Nobel Prize Winning science that is making the untreatable treatable. James gallagher, bbc news. The duchess of sussex has tied a ribbon at a memorial to a South African student, at the post office where she was raped and murdered, last month.

Overnight, northern ireland, england and wales, rain spreading in and some tightly packed isobars for Southern Coast counties of england. Gusts around the coast reaching 110 50 miles per. A wet start to the day tomorrow for many of us. Across parts of the east midlands and lincolnshire, the rain will linger for most of the day, a miserable day here. Temperature wise, looking at highs of around 17 20d for england and wales. A little bit more cool and wales. A little bit more cool and fresh for the north but it is here we will see the best of the dry weather and spells of sunshine. Sunday evening, as the area of low pressure pulls away, we get another swathe of strong winds, gusts 45 50 miles per. Hello this is bbc news with shaun ley. The headlines.
