Diana did the same. Good morning. Welcome to bbc newsroom live. One of the Prime Ministers most Senior Advisers has said he is not surprised that some voters are angry with mps over brexit. Dominic cummings said the only way to solve the issue of abuse would be if mps respected the result of the eu referendum. And he said if mps say we dont want to respect that vote, what do you expect to happen . The angry tenor of debate over brexit has caused more than 100 bishops to warn against further entrenching our divisions. Theyve called for respect on all sides, in the debate on britains withdrawal from the eu. Boris johnson has defended the language he used in wednesdays commons debate, after he described one mps safety concerns as humbug. But the prime minster insists he deplores any threats to anybody, particularly female mps. Speaking at a book launch in london last night, mr cummings dismissed suggestions the government was under pressure over brexit, saying he was enjoying it. 0ur Political CorrespondentJessica Parker is at westminster. Tell us more about what Dominic Cummings was saying at that book launch last night . It is interesting to hear him just they are talking about how this was all going to be a walk in the park compared to delivering the referendum, that they we re delivering the referendum, that they were enjoying the process, that they are going to win, that britain is going to leave the European Union. I think the context of these comments come after what has been an incredibly stormy week in parliament, as you were just outlining there. There are a large number of Opposition Mps who are pretty determined to take on Dominic Cummings. They dont think his plan oi cummings. They dont think his plan or strategy is the right one for the uk. 0bviously or strategy is the right one for the uk. Obviously in Early September mps passed an act designed to prevent a no deal brexit of borisjohnson hasnt won approval for a deal by the 19th of october, so i think Dominic Cummingss comments could further irk some of those mps. It was interesting because Boris JohnsonsSenior Adviser was again approached this morning about those comments he made at the book launch. Lets have a listen to what he had to say. Why are you blaming mps . Who is blaming who . Why are you blaming mps . Lovely to see you all. It doesnt look like a walk in the park, does it . A walk in the park . Who said it would be a walk in the park . You said it last night at a book launch. As you say, it has been an incredibly stormy week in parliament. Taking the heat out of that, it is not going to be necessarily a simple process, as it . No because the tension still exist. There are a fear, one over the governments brexits strategy. The closer we get to that 0ctober governments brexits strategy. The closer we get to that october the sist closer we get to that october the 31st deadline, tensions could raise further. Also there was this debate about the language used. Boris johnson taken to task by some mps for using phrases such as the surrender act. I was referring to the ben bill a moment ago, now a law to stop a no deal brexit. Boris johnson often gives it the name they surrender act. Johnson often gives it the name they surrender act. Some johnson often gives it the name they surrender act. Some mps were raising their concerns and heated exchanges earlier this week saying that the language that Boris Johnson earlier this week saying that the language that borisjohnson uses is sometimes quoted back to them, a loss of mps received death threats, that they are frequently put under huge amounts of pressure with very unpleasant correspondence sent to them. One mp was seen by some mobile phone footage to confront Dominic Cummings over what a lot of mps say isa cummings over what a lot of mps say is a deliberate strategy to pitch people against parliament. Some of the heat we were talking about in evidence. Moving to the procedure is in parliament and what might unfold over the next month, a little over a month before the 0ctober little over a month before the october 31 deadline. 0ur viewers will know that the ben act is designed to force the Prime Minister to ask for an extension from the eu ifa to ask for an extension from the eu if a deal hasnt been agreed by mid 0ctober. John major has been talking about a way to get around that, what has he been suggesting . Yes, sirjohn major a former Prime Minister from yes, sirjohn major a former Prime Ministerfrom the yes, sirjohn major a former Prime Minister from the conservatives, a man who has been highly critical of them are critical of the Boris Johnson administration. Raising a possibility, and at this stage we can only say to speculative, as to how the government might try to get around this law, as you say, is designed to make sure borisjohnson has to ask for a delay to brexit every deal hasnt been approved by the 19th of october. The context, government ministers have said theyre going to try and test the law and Boris Johnson theyre going to try and test the law and borisjohnson is still insisting that the uk is going to leave on the 31st of october, he isnt going to ask for a delay. Sir john major raising the possibility speech last night of something known as an order of council. Another bit of lingo for the brexit lexicon. What it means a power by preppy councillors, one they can exercise without requiring demonics approval. We dont at this stage know whether this is something being considered by ministers. A cabinet minister today has suggested that this idea is too clever by half, in terms of whether an order of counsel can be used to somehow get around the act. But while people try and work out what the government are planning, lets have a listen to James Cleverley who was pressed on this issue last night. What im not going to do is im not going to talk through how the government intends to discharge its business, knowing full well there are a whole load of people who will try to distort every procedure we have in british politics to try and prevent that. It is worth saying, i was just looking at what orders of counsel have been used more recently, they have been used more recently, they have been used to amend the bylaws of the Royal Academy of dance and the british Occupational Hygiene society. So early to be used to somehow get around this act, it would be pretty unusual. Meanwhile in brussels, the eus chief brexit negotiator Michel Barnier will meet the uks brexit secretary later with pessimism seemingly on the rise about the prospects for a brexit deal. On thursday mr barnier said brussels was still waiting for workable proposals on managing the border with ireland. The bbcs Kevin Connolly is in brussels. He was asked if there was any indication that britain and the eu were close to reaching a deal. I suppose we should start with a spoiler alert that it is perfectly possible we wont know much more by the end of the day than we know now about what is really going on behind the scenes in those talks. As you say, they work from the European Union is negotiator is pretty damning, he is talking about the fa ct damning, he is talking about the fact there is still no workable proposals to replace the irish backstop. That is the solution to keeping the irish were open. We hear there is cautious optimism and negotiations are proceeding at pace and the British Brexit secretary will be here later today. There is a process under way, but there is a tremendous amount of work to do. Of course, the basic point is that when you look at the deadline, the European Council meeting in the middle of the next month when the readers will have to sign off on a deal, you are essentially i suppose saying that something is going to have to be achieved in three weeks that hasnt been so far achieved in three years. People here know that any deal has to get through the house of commons. When you look at the scenes in the commons, when you listen to the word spoken there, when you sense the atmosphere even from a distance in brussels, it seems hard to imagine that a deal can be smoothly engineered through the commons in the very short time left. People do watch those fractures scenes, they do take political cue from them and most people behind the scenes here are pessimistic, but of course the negotiators still have to engage with the uk team, they still have to work on whatever proposals the uk tea m work on whatever proposals the uk team put forward. So the process does continue, but there is no real sense of optimism that a breakthrough is close. Senior us democrats say a whistleblowers letter which has been made public proves that donald trump tried to cover up details of a phone call he had with the president of ukraine. In the call, mr trump asked for an investigation into former Vice President joe biden, his leading rival in next years us president ial election. Mr trump denies exerting improper pressure, but the call has triggered an impeachment inquiry against him. David willis reports. A beleaguered President Trump returned to the white house last night. Even by the breathless standards of his administration, the last few days have been particularly tumultuous. A whistleblowers report maintains not only that mr trump misused the office of president for personal gain, but that white house officials, alarmed by his request for dirt on democratic rival joe biden, then sought to bury the evidence. President trump seen here with mr zelensky earlier in the week has lashed out publicly and privately. At a closed door event in new york, he suggested that white house staff who spoke about the telephone conversation should be seen as traitors. Democrats in the house of representatives launched a formal impeachment inquiry earlier this week. 0n capitol hill, the battle lines are being drawn along party lines. This phone call is a nothing burger in terms of a quid pro quo. The president of the United States did not remotely suggest to the ukraine, if you dont do my political bidding against the bidens im going to cut your money off. The president of the United States and his actions with telephone call with a head of state betrayed his oath of office, our National Security and the integrity of our elections. Last night, President Trump renewed the attack on his political rivals. Ijust watched a little bit of this on television. Its a disgrace to our country. Its another witch hunt, here we go again. Its adam schiff and his crew making up stories and sitting there like pious. Whatever you want to call them. Itsjust a, really, a disgrace. The president is not without his supporters, however. Sheriffs from across the us converged on the white house, looking to raise his spirits at the end of a brutal week. Seven days ago, most people in america had yet to hear of mr trumps fateful conversation with the president of the ukraine. David willis, bbc news, los angeles. A british flagged oil tanker has left iran and reached international waters, after being held for more than two months. The stena imperos swedish owner, stena bulk, said it was on the move from the bandar abbas port, where it has been anchored sincejuly. The vessel was seized by iranian troops in the strait of hormuz after they accused it of breaking maritime rules. It followed the Royal Marines seizing an iranian tanker off gibraltar, suspected of carrying oil to syria. The headlines on bbc news. The Prime Ministers top advisor, Dominic Cummings, says its not surprising some people are angry with mps over brexit, saying parliament hasnt respected the result of the referendum. It comes as more than a hundred of the church of englands bishops warn politicians that their language over brexit has been unacceptable in the last few days. In the us, a cia officer is reported to be the whistle blower whose claims have prompted impeachment proceedings against President Trump. And in sport. Englands Piers Francis has been cited for a high tackle during yesterday world cup win over the United States wales have named an unchanged 15 for their match against australia in tokyo on sunday captain Alun Wyn Jones will become wales most capped player. The world athletics championships gets under way this afternoon in qatar with the build up dominated by issues over the heat and humidity in the host city doha. Ill be back with more on those stories later. Its been claimed there are still significa nt gaps in the governments no deal planning in relation to the nhs and care homes. The National Audit office praised the department of health and social care for the enormous amount of work that had been done, but said there were still risks involved if the uk left the eu without a deal. Andy moore sent this report. From rubber gloves and syringes to medicines and blood products, the entire health and social care system in the uk relies heavily on medicines and equipment imported from the eu. Much of this comes via the channel ports, which could see huge disruption in the event of a no deal brexit. Even though mps have passed a law to stop a no deal brexit, the department of health and social care have been working on ways to minimise the risk, should it happen. But todays report from the National Audit office says some serious questions remain unanswered. Even with six weeks supply or some stockpiling going on, if there is not a simple way of getting medicines into the country or if theres a hold up at any point, the stockpiles will go down quickly and they need to be replenished so theres an awful lot to play for, an awful lot we dont know because it will depend on what happens in other countries as well. A no deal brexit could cause serious disruption to medical supplies, not least because, of the 12,300 medicines licensed for use in the uk, around 7,000 come from or via eu countries. The governments own worst Case Scenario is that a no deal brexit means cross channel goods could be cut by up to 60 . A statement from the department of health and social care reassured patients that everything was being done to make sure they could access medicines after brexit, whatever the circumstances, and the departments preparations were unprecedented. But the nao report makes clear that with just weeks to go before a possible brexit, much work remains to be done. Andy moore, bbc news. Earlier i spoke to rebecca sheeran, the executive leader of the National Audit office who said the government has already done an enormous amount to manage the risk of disruption. It has taken a multilayered approach, which we think is a very sensible approach. Yes, looking at stockpiling, looking at its own stockpiles for the nhs, but also looking to encourage pharmaceutical companies to make their own stockpiles for a six week period. In addition to stockpiling, it is also looking at doing what it can to make sure that goods continue to flow across the channel, by putting in place additional transport capacity away from those short channel crossings. And the department for health and social care is also putting in place its own Courier Service that can be used if particular urgent needs arise. But, and this is a very significant but, understandably people are really concerned about health supplies. Are they going to get the medicine they need to treat their conditionsyou there is still significant work to be done, so what are the key areas lacking at the moment . Government still needs to needs to continue to build that complete picture of how ready all the different key suppliers are. It doesnt quite have that complete picture yet. Ive already mentioned that they are doing a lot of work to try and get in place extra transport capacity, things like berries, away from the short channel crossings. The contracts are not yet in place. Are things like fairies. The process started a little bit later than they had hoped. There is a lot to do to get that sorted by the 31st of 0ctober. Get that sorted by the 31st of october. The other area we are really highlighting in our report is the unknown is around the readiness of social care providers, so things like nursing homes, domiciliary care providers, to make sure they have things in care to provide the things they need, things like dressings and rubber gloves. You say the government has asked those domestic ca re government has asked those domestic care providers to put robust contingency plans in place, but you going to say, for the indications of a no deal brexit, the government doesnt actually know yet how many have actually followed that advice the implications of a no deal brexit. It is a much more challenging job of communicating and getting that understanding in the social care sector compared to the nhs. It is quite diverse, there are a lot of small players operating at a lot of small players operating at a local level and we think it needs to do more to get a better understanding of how many of those providers are acting on its advice and have those contingency plans in place. If the uk was to leave the eu without a deal any little over a months without a deal any little over a months time, how do you assess the risk to this Health Sector currently of availability of s
