Chilly for just about all of us, but wednesday is going to be a bright and crisp day. Quite a windy one, particularly across eastern areas, lighter winds further west, but those temperatures no great shakes for the time of year, between 11 and 1a degrees. As we head towards the end of the way, it looks like those temperatures will start to climb again, more of the west or south westerly influence to our weather, but with that there is the potential for wet and windy weather at times. A lot of uncertainty about that, i have to say. So through the weekend, more rain at first and then it turns chilly, manager for the end of the week, but with the potential for some more wet and windy weather. Hello. This is bbc news. Well be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment first the headlines. Borisjohnson defends his language in the brexit debate, on the opening day, of the conservative Party Conference and insists hes been a model of restraint. I certainly think everybody should calm down. Including you . I think i have been a model of restraint. At the start of the conservative Party Conference, a key announcement is made on new funding for hospitals in england. Running street battles in hong kong, as protestors prepare to disrupt celebrations marking 70 years of Chinese Communist rule. Flood warnings are in place across england and wales. Some rivers have burst their banks. Dina asher smith becomes the first ever british woman to win a medal in the 100 meters, at the world athletics championships. Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me arejoel taylor, whos the Deputy News Editor at the metro, and benedicte paviot, the uk correspondent for france 2a, and the president of the Foreign Press association. Welcome to you both. Many of tomorrows front pages are already in. According to the Daily Telegraph, opposition leaders will meet tomorrow to plot a way of forcing borisjohnson to request a brexit extension as early as this weekend. As the conservative Party Conference gets under way, the independent reports that downing street has been forced to deny allegations borisjohnson groped a female journalist. The metro says police are investigating after a banner, calling for conservatives to be killed, was strung across the river irwell in manchester, drawing outragefrom across the political spectrum. The times reports children face being banned from the classroom if they are not up to date with their vaccinations amid widespread concern about falling immunisation rates. Meanwhile the financila times says the Outgoing European Central Bank president has backed french president emmanuel macrons call for fiscal transfers betweeneurozone Member States to bolster the single currencys long term future. Lets start with the telegraph. A plot to force Boris Johnson into brexit extension, what are they up to, the remain alliance . This is a plan, they are meeting inJeremy Corbyns office tomorrow morning, and this is a plan to try and seize control of the agenda in parliament and bring forward the 19th of october deadline, by which time they have previously said that Boris Johnson needs to send a letter of extension, if he hasnt secured a deal. They are bringing that back to be 5th of october. It seems to be the two things driving this, firstly, they dont believe there will be enough time to go to the courts if they got to the 19th of october. Secondly, an alternative plan of a vote of no confidence is slightly stymied by joe plan of a vote of no confidence is slightly stymied byjoe swinson saying she would refuse to put Jeremy Corbyn into downing street. Yes, that would stymie things a bit, if youre looking for a caretaker government to hold things. The conservatives are up in manchester, and they are supposed to have just Left Parliament trickling alone. Yes, and clearly, this will not be trickling along. If they do seize control of parliament once again, then clearly, some of those mps are going to have tojump back on trains, and ministers, even. The other thing that the Daily Telegraph talks about is they say that it has emerged that Boris Johnson talks about is they say that it has emerged that borisjohnson plans to Prorogue Parliament for a second time next week in order to press ahead with plans for a queens speech on the 14th of october. Of course, that was his initial option, but he actually wanted a general election on the 15th of october. Since he has not got that, he is reverting to this plan. So that would then be a propagation, and of course, that means no parliamentary scrutiny, so another reason why it seems that the lack of unity of the vote of no confidence now means that it looks like the opposition, who will meet at 130 tomorrow wanted pm tomorrow in a Jeremy Corbyns office, are concerned that there will not be enough time to stop the government, stop the Prime Minister, from a disobeying, in that sense, the current formulation of the ben act, so therefore they want to bring the date forward. You can just imagine that there would be attempts to bring the courts into it again. Absolutely. You can see there are 70 different potential court cases coming from all of this at the moment, it is hard to keep up. Lets look at the Financial Times for a moment. Off message, which plan is this . This is interesting, because the dup, that does not have the same power that it had before the government and Boris Johnson using his majority in parliament, it seems that the Prime Ministers brexit plans have suffered another setback on sunday, after the Democratic Unionist Party warned that it was not prepared to see border checks to the irish sea, as part of any deal. So that, i think, will be yet another problem that borisjohnson has to deal with. I think it is if you blink, you miss another date. The government is now calling to the Financial Times, planning to actually publish its first formal british proposals on replacing the so called irish backstop on thursday, this thursday. So you have a parliament, not now a vote of no confidence, but trying to seize control, the remain alliance will try to seize control, we meanwhile, the chancellor of the exchequer is talking tomorrow, there will be lots of announcement through mark, because if you didnt know, you would think we were in a general election with all the government announcement is that there are about hospitals etc. But the messages, get brexit done. And clearly what the Prime Minister and government are intent on is appealing to the country, above and beyond rallying the troops and Party Congress in manchester, very much trying to not get the usual people who they think would vote for them in a general election, whether it comes this side of christmas, but appealing to the country who are fed up and exasperated with brexit not actually happening. With the slogan we are seeing and hearing. Lets have a look at the metro, vile show of hatred. Yes, it pretty hateful banner in manchester, time to level the Playing Field it reads, with a couple of effigies hanging beneath this bridge. This isjust a continuation of this really horrible public debate that is happening at the moment that we had last week. People getting upset over the Prime Ministers comments, from opposing sides, you can see this horrible, violent imagery being displayed here, and rightly, it has been condemned. It seems the coarsening of public debate has gone further, it feels sometimes, some days, the things you read on social media, the attacks that people feel completely attacks that people feel completely at liberty to bake on each other, there is no end to it. Because there does not seem to be any punishment orjudgment does not seem to be any punishment or judgment or consequence for a does not seem to be any punishment orjudgment or consequence for a lot of them, that is changing, and the police and authorities are having to use their judgment and police and authorities are having to use theirjudgment and do what they can, but we havent yet got 20,000 more Police Officers which we are told will happen in the next three years. Talking of social media, momentum, earlier today, tweeted this image of 130,000 killed under tory rule, time to level the Playing Field. The tweet was i think the Manchester Branch of momentum, good morning, conservatives, welcome to manchester. The mayor of Greater Manchester. The mayor of Greater Manchester has said that this was unacceptable. I understand that this was taken down quite quickly, but there is a coarsening. It is worse thana there is a coarsening. It is worse than a coarsening. It was a coarsening, then it went further. M is threats against life, against politicians, the media, anybody who does not share your opinion, it is dangerous, like the genie has been taken dangerous, like the genie has been ta ken out of dangerous, like the genie has been taken out of a bottle, how do you put it back in . People are blaming politicians for failing to bring brexit, but people take need to take response ability for spreading these messages. Johnson forced to deny griping allocation groping allegation. This is Charlotte Edwards, saying it happened at the spectator . Yes, it was a lunch, she was a party sitting next to Boris Johnson who was then the editor of the magazine, and has accused him of groping her thigh during this lunch. Downing street have come out to deny this. Matt hancock rather foolishly describe this as saying the issue was a private matter, to which people said, hang on a second, is this conduct a private matter . And rightly, he has withdrawn that and has clarified his comment. The government has said there is no truth in this allegation and Charlotte Edwards has said that if the Prime Minister cannot remember this, she has a better memory than he does for stop a lot of people have rallied to support her. Well, if anything else, apart from brexit, the remain alliance, loss of the majority, loss of a by election, loss of seven key votes in parliament, to have these kinds of allegations coming out at the beginning of a conservative Party Conference, while all convention has gone out the window and there is a Parliament Sitting at an annual Party Conference, was it alice in wonderland . Curiouser and curiouser . It is extraordinary what we are reporting on and witnessing. But of course, if that did happen and Charlotte Edwards alleges that it absolutely did happen, and i think there is a second woman who is also saying this, during the same dinner, she was groped, i think that really is not some things one canjust ignore. On the andrew marr show, other things came up, and ignore. On the andrew marr show, otherthings came up, and it ignore. On the andrew marr show, other things came up, and it seems to be brushed off. I think there will be some concern. Of course, other people will think that the timing is somewhat off, that it is so timing is somewhat off, that it is so much later. Lets go to the telegraph again. Prince harry is on the front page. Yes, he is in africa and he has been writing for the telegraph, saying that people might say he sounds like a hippie, but we cannot have a feminist mentality, humans and animals in their habitats fundamentally need to coexist with top a then a mess mentality. He has been working on a campaign to talk more about the environment, because he has faced criticism for his use of private planes in recent months, and so there is a mood around that there is lecturing going on. I think it is interesting that he is taking this approach and continuing to work on this. Because his father and grandfather have both been interested in conservation for many years, to. They have, but some people would argue that how does that sit with shooting animals, etc . One of the remarks i find interesting is when he talks about conservation, he is to be a specialist area, driven by science, but it is now crucial to our survival. That is what has happened. When you think back to health, transport, Climate Change and all these things, they all used to be different areas, now it is so interconnected, our world is so interconnected, our world is so interconnected, this has become mainstream. It is not something that people talk about. Not just, mainstream. It is not something that people talk about. Notjust, not exclusively the younger generation, but certainly, some parents and grandparents, we are getting quite an education from children, because they are coming back from school having learned things or seeing things on the internet. There is a sort of urgency. It is a sign of how things have changed, people used to mock Prince Charles for his involvement in the environment, and they do not mock prince harry for that. Now, they just like they do not mock prince harry for that. Now, theyjust like people to be consistent. Lets finish with the back pages of the metro. Dean asher smith, her silver back pages of the metro. Dean asher smith, hersilver lining. Back pages of the metro. Dean asher smith, her silver lining. Yes, she w011 smith, her silver lining. Yes, she won a silver medal with a british best in a personal record, she ran the 100 metres in 10. 83. |j best in a personal record, she ran the 100 metres in 10. 83. I could pull a hamstring just thinking about that. Extraordinary, but what a bit perplexing was how few people seem to be watching it. An amazing achievement for dina asher smith. First british woman to win a medal. She is happy about it, but she would have liked to be first. She had a fantastic win when she realised what she had done. She came second co mforta bly, she had done. She came second comfortably, amazing. Well done. That is it for the papers for this hour. Joel and benedicte will be back at 11. 30 for another look at the papers, and dont forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. Its all there for you seven days a week at bbc. Co. Uk papers. And if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. Thank you tojoel and benedicte. Well be back for that second papers review in about 45 minutes. Next on bbc news, its the travel show. Hello and welcome to the travel show with me, ade adepitan. This week, we are kicking off in iceland. It is a country famous for its natural beauty. But as cat moh has been finding out, things there are changing. Weve all seen it on the covers of magazines, and the footage of nature documentaries. Stunning images of a landscape from which iceland takes its name. But these glaciers are more fragile than they may seem, and they have a story fit for a storyteller. There was an immense crack. The ensuing earthquake was greater than any experienced since man first walked the planet. My name is andri magnusson, i am a writer in iceland, i have written childrens books, poetry, plays, Science Fiction and non fiction. We are in an example of what has to happen to all coal fired power stations in the world. I am part of a group who made a creative place out of it. What is your connection to glaciers . My connection to glaciers is more through my grandparents. My grandparents were Founding Partners of the icelandic glacial research society. And they went on a glacial honeymoon in 1956, for three weeks. And they were stuck in a tent in a blizzard, and i asked them when i was a child, werent you cold . And they said cold . We were just married. I didnt understand how you get warm when you get married. But i found out later. This has been family mythology, our brave grandmother, a pioneering woman on the glacier. But if i had written 20 years ago that glaciers would melt in the lifetime of a single human being, that would have been sci fi at the time. Well, now it is not sci fi any more. Its just sci, science. Andri, hello. Welcome. Hi, im cat. Welcome to my power station. Thanks its not everyday i get invited to power station. So these are your grandparents . Yes, this is icelands highest peak, 2119 metres. Grandma is not even wearing a coat, is she. No, its good weather there. So i slightly interrupted you, can i help you hang these up . I am choosing what photos i would like to use in my book. I will put this one up here. Andre, how does looking at these photos make you feel . They have always made me feel nostalgic, proud, but they are also a slice section of time, that is, this is the first generation that was able to enjoy glaciers, and we only have three generations that will live that period. So then the glaciers will go, and after 300 years, these photos will be totally alien to that generation, especially in iceland. When the ice has left iceland. Andri wanted to take me somewhere to show me just how quickly the landscape is changing. About 10 of iceland is covered in glaciers. But glaciologists now believe that all of icelands glaciers will be gone in just 200 years. We meet a guide to help navigate us on a long walk high up into the clouds. Here are the colours replacing the flowers. Here are the bulbs replacing the stars, here are the brands replacing the species, here are the freezers replacing the glaciers. This is the eye of the storm, the reason for everything is right here in my heart. Tell me about where we are standing right now. We are standing at this memorial plaque which is where 0k glacier used to stand. 50 metres above us, should have been an ice sheet across here, 30 years ago. But that has now completely vanished, and we only have these remains of dead ice around us. Five years ago, when 0k glacier was no longer heavy enough to lift itself up and move, it was declared dead. The amount of ice here has decreased dramatically. Researchers from Rice University in america recently drew attention to the loss. They approached andri to write the inscription for the plaque, commemorating the dead glacier. Its a strange situation, because how do you memorise the sky . It is something big, firm, eternal, it pushes in two directions. It points from here to the future, and it points from the future back to us. Will you read me what you wrote . Yes. Here it says, a letter to the future. 0k is the first icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years, all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening, and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019, 415 ppm of co2. Thats the amount of co2 in the atmosphere, and actually the cause of the melting glacier. And that is rising, about 2 3 ppm every year. But still, hundreds of glaciers remain here. I left andri and went with my guide to solheimajokull glacier, the icy tongue of icelands fourth largest glacier, which covers nearly 600 kilometres square. Its also suffering under Global Warming. Leifur runs Carbon Neutral tours here. Do you think it is necessarily a good thing to encourage tourists to come to places where it might be their last chance to see it . Notjust here, but anywhere around the world, isnt thatjust making a bad situation even worse . I think you can always question to fly and travel. But if you do, whether it is to spain or to iceland, then at least i think it is good that people are educated about nature, about glacier behaviour and how Global Warming is affecting the glaciers. But step down from the glacier to its lagoon, and here you can find a whole new perspective. You can actually see how quickly the ice is melting look at all the water just dripping down into the lake. While a certain amount of meltwater each year is normal, its the rate of loss at glaciers like this that is unsustainable. So how deep is this . Close to the glacier it is about 60 metres deep. Has it changed much in the time you have been coming here . Oh yes, enormously. The lake didnt exist, just recently, it is just ten years old. This lake is ten years old . Yes, it was starting to form in 2007 as a tiny pool, and now the glacier is melting at 100 metres per year. First i found it really interesting to be living in a land where you could see the changes. But then, when you see it at this scale, it is frightening and a bit sad. I have a gift for you. What is the gift . Precious gift, a rare diamond. Laughs. A rare diamond inside, there is trapped air that has been there for hundreds of years. That is incredible. Its so clear, isnt it . Its crazy. The ice may be beautiful, but its a stark reminder that unless something changes soon, seeing and experiencing icelands iconic glaciers is a privilege that few further generations will have a chance to enjoy. Some parts of the uk have had more than theirfair share some parts of the uk have had more than their fair share of some parts of the uk have had more than theirfair share of rain some parts of the uk have had more than their fair share of rain this weekend. So much so, there have been some flooding problems, and there are still a number of flood warnings in england and wales, for the risk of river and coastal flooding, because of some high tides. Is this area of low pressure pulls away, there is a squeeze in the white lines, expel a brisk winter eastern coastal counties of england, but going through the small hours of monday, the wind will ease, the skies were clear, some mist patches and it will turn chilly, with some showers trundling in from the north, spreading down across scotland. Into tomorrow, for most, a quiet start, a bright start, once any early mist has cleared. You can already see behind me, the next weather system, outbreaks of heavy and persistent rain returning to wales, the midlands, Northern England, particularly for the hills of wales and North Western england, there is the ongoing threat of flooding, some spots over high ground could see up to 70 millimetres of rain. Drierfor the north, but on the chilly side. Into tuesday, this low pressure eastwards, there will be further heavy downpours, or longer spells of rain, pushing mostly across england and wales, that tends to pivot away as the day wears on. For scotland and northern ireland, brighter skies, some showers, they went coming down from the north, so it is going to feel very cool, nine in aberdeen, 12 in belfast. As we move into wednesday, we have pushed that area of low pressure away, we will notice the white lines, the isobars come down from the north, that shows where the air will come from. It will come from a long way north. From wednesday morning, some places could start off with a touch of frost. In the countryside in Northern England and central parts of scotland. Chilly forjust Northern England and central parts of scotland. Chilly for just about all of us, but wednesday is going to bea all of us, but wednesday is going to be a bright and crisp day. Quite a windy day, across eastern areas particularly, lighter winds and further west, but the temperature is no great shakes for the time of year, 1144. As we head towards the end of the week, temperatures will climb again, more of a west or south westerly influence to our weather. With that, there is the potential for some wet and windy weather at times, a lot of uncertainty about that. Through the weekend, more rain at first, then it turns chilly, milderfor the end of the week, but with the potential for some more wet and windy weather. This is bbc news. Im maritine croxall.
