Our top Story Parliament has been officially suspended for the next five weeks, but there were chaotic scenes late into the night in the commons as Opposition Mps sang, waved placards, and at one point even attempted to stop the speaker, john bercow, from leaving his chair. Earlier borisjohnson lost a sixth vote in as many days as he failed in his bid to call an early general election. Our Political Correspondent Jessica Parker reports. The leader of the opposition cannot lead. This parliamentary session, which has seen its fair share of feuding, ended in acrimony in the early hours of this morning. A number of mps temporarily tried to stop the speaker from leaving the commons. Some of them holding up signs saying silenced. And john bercow made it clear how he felt about the five week suspension of parliament. Im perfectly happy, as ive advised others, to play my part. But i do want to make the point that this is not a standard or normal prorogation. It is. I dont require any assistance from you, mr stevenson. You wouldnt have the foggiest idea where to start in seeking to counsel me on this. I require no response from you. I require no response from you, young man. Then, as conservative mps left the chamber to take part in the ongoing proceedings, cries of shame rang out from opposition benches. Applause it all followed a final and fiery debate on the governments call for a snap election in mid october. The house, again, did not support the move and borisjohnson, again, made clear his view about the prospect of a delay to brexit. No matter how many devices this parliaments invents to tie my hands, i will strive, mr speaker, to get an agreement in the national interest. I hope the Prime Minister will reflect on the issue of prorogation and shutting down parliament to avoid a government being held to account. Because that is exactly what he has done today and proposes to do to this country. Now Conference Season looms, with mps due back in westminster on the 14th of october. A queens speech then may spell the start of a new session, but the old and very deep divisions will likely still be there. Jessica parker, bbc news. So many questions. So what happens next . After Opposition Mps voted not to back an general election. Parliament has now been formally suspended for five weeks. Mps will return to westminster on the 14th october. On the 17th october, all eyes will be on the eu summit in brussels, where the government says it hopes to agree a brexit deal. But if theres no agreement by the 19th of october, the new legal deadline imposed on Boris Johnson, because of the law pushed through by mps, comes into force. It will require the Prime Minister to request a three month extension to the brexit deadline. How that all plays out remains to be seen, so as things stand today that brexit deadline remains at the end of next month. Lets speak to our Political Correspondent ben wright. Ijust want i just want to talk, just rewind, lots of extraordinary things happened in the commons, in the middle of the night, what did you make of what you saw . It is quite in westminster this morning and will remain so for the next five weeks. Mps have gone to their constituencies and will go to the Party Conferences. It was quite extraordinary what we saw in the house of commons. At about one in the morning, just after Boris Johnson had failed in his latest attempt to get commons approval for attempt to get commons approval for a general election, that is the moment that parliament then began prorogation or suspension that will last for the next five weeks. Even by the house of commons standards it was riotous, it was rowdy, it was robust she was. We saw labour mps, Opposition Mps, standing by with placards saying silenced. The ancient ceremony began the suspension of parliament. As tory mps left the chamber, Opposition Mps was shouting shame and building as the tories left. It was remarkable stuff. It reveals the depth of anger i think there is among many mps that we re i think there is among many mps that were just seven weeks to go until the brexit deadline, october 31, mps will now not be here for the next five weeks. It does seem extraordinary. Let us talk about the Prime Minister. There is obviously pressure on him. What are his options . They look limited at the moment. You have this stand off between parliament that has passed a law saying that if no brexit deal has been agreed in the house of commons by october 19, following the finalsummit at commons by october 19, following the final summit at the eu, and Boris Johnson must go and ask eu leaders for a further extension and another delay to brexit and you have a Prime Minister insisting he will not be doing that. And we just dont know. Theres all sorts of speculation westminster about whether or not the Prime Minister, in the end, like to try to flout the law, something which constitutional experts and certainly mps are saying is absolutely not possible. It could not happen. But you have them at loggerheads. We dont know how this stand off will play out. Some of the political heat on the Prime Minister will reduce because they think mps have not been here and they discipline out of their Party Conferences. Borisjohnson will have to find a way out of this political nightmare finds his way. It was interesting yesterday when he was in ireland meeting leo varadkar, that borisjohnson, when ireland meeting leo varadkar, that Boris Johnson, when he ireland meeting leo varadkar, that borisjohnson, when he was talking up borisjohnson, when he was talking up the chances of a new deal with the eu, but his determination to find one, certainly, even though the route to that deal still looks is ha rd to route to that deal still looks is hard to identify as ever. But that is where we are. Parliament disappears now but borisjohnson has been told he must get a deal or ask foran been told he must get a deal or ask for an extension that he has vowed not to seek. I am speechless. Thank you very much for explaining it so beautifully. A long road ahead. There are growing concerns that people are becoming dependent on prescription drugs, according to Public Health england. It found that in the past year, one in four adults in england have been prescribed drugs which could be addictive. Heres our health correspondent, dominic hughes. Medicines that can relieve pain or help with sleep play a vital role in the lives of millions of people, but concern is growing about how many of these potentially addictive drugs are being prescribed, and for how long. Public Health England looked at five commonly prescribed types of medicine, including powerful painkillers, sleeping pills and antidepressants. A quarter of all adults in england have been prescribed at least one of these drugs in the year to march 2018. Half of all patients taking these drugs have done so continuously for the previous 12 months. And, depending on the medicine, between a fifth and a third had received a prescription for at least the previous three years. These drugs are commonly used for some very common ailments. What im more concerned about is that half of the people who are taking these drugs, who have been prescribed those in the last year, have had a prescription for more than a year. And, for the vast majority of these medicines, using them for that length of time is very unlikely to be supported by clinical guidance. Antidepressants may take awhile to become effective, but opioid painkillers stop working for most people after three months, and drugs prescribed for insomnia and anxiety are not recommended to be used for more than 28 days. The review warns that long term use is likely to result in dependency or withdrawal problems. But patients should also be wary of suddenly stopping their medication. Instead, they should seek the help of their gp. We will talk about that with a doctor a little later as well. The american adventurer, Victor Vescovo, has become the first person to visit the deepest places in all five of earths oceans. His final dive, in a prototype submersible, was made to the bottom of the arctic oceans molloy trench a depth of more than five kilometres. Hed already reached the floor of the pacific, indian, southern, and atlantic oceans. Andy moore reports. Hes already climbed the highest peaks on seven continents. Now hes reached the deepest spot in five oceans. You put your mind to it and you get the right people working with you, almost anything is possible. The final leg of the five deeps expedition took Victor Vescovo and his support ship to a location deep inside the arctic circle. His submarine limiting factor went down to a place no human has ever been to before. Surface, this is the lf, the lf has landed, the lf has landed, at bottom. Roger that, we will go for a release. Earlier this year, mr vescovo dived the deepest spot on the planet, the Mariana Trench in the pacific ocean, nearly 11 kilometres down. His 12 ton sub has a titanium core especially built to withstand huge pressures. The texan financier has ploughed much of his own wealth into the endeavour. At bottom applause it seemed a bit like being on the moon but a wet version of it. There were small critters here and there, there were slight undulations. Even at these incredible depths, there was evidence of human activity. This small pyramid shaped object in the shadow on the right hand side is a plastic bag. But there was also evidence of amazing marine animals, some of them new species. Well done, team unsurprisingly, having explored some of the most inaccessible places on earth, Victor Vescovo is now setting sights on his next frontier, space. Andy moore, bbc news. He has seen some things. That is quite difficult to get your head around. Five kilometres down. The pressure down there must be incredible. Space next.
