good evening and welcome to bbc news. borisjohnson claims he's been "a model of restraint" when it comes to his use of language, in the brexit debate. he was speaking on the opening day, of the conservative party conference in manchester. the prime minister refused to apologise for using words such as "surrender," when describing the legislation, designed to stop the uk leaving the european union without a deal. this report from our political correspondent jonathan blake, contains some flash photography. you can't miss the message the conservatives want to hammer home here. "get brexit done" might be a simple slogan, but the reality has been far from easy for the prime minister so far. and he has arrived here facing questions about how he has tried to argue his case, accusations that his language has got out of hand. he should be ashamed, say labour, but borisjohnson says all sides need to pause for breath. well, i certainly think everybody should calm down. including you? i think i've been a model of restraint. my use of the word "humbug" was in the context of people trying to prevent me, us, from using the word "surrender". so you can say sorry for the misunderstanding, at least? i can certainly say sorry for the misunderstanding. whatever words he uses, from the moment he set foot in manchester, borisjohnson‘s message won't change — that brexit should happen by the end of october, come what may, and it's in the country's interests to make sure of it. i think the best thing for the country, and the best thing for people's overall psychological health, would be to get brexit done. no detail on how, given that parliament has passed a law forcing him to ask for an extension if a deal can't be done. but would he step aside, allowing someone else to do that? i've undertaken to lead the party and my country at a difficult time and i'm going to continue to do that. i believe it's my responsibility. and inside the conference hall, you wouldn't know there was any attempt to delay brexit. key figures doubled down on the promise to leave by the end of october. if the eu spurn the opportunity for a win—win deal, we will leave at the end of october. no ifs, no buts. and if we don't get a deal by october sist, then we will have to leave without a deal. away from brexit, questions remain for the prime minister about his friendship with the businesswomanjennifer arcuri and whether she received special treatment on trade visits while mrjohnson was mayor of london — an emphatic denial that he did anything wrong. everything was done in accordance with full... you have to declare interest. did you declare interest? there was no interest to declare. for all the questions facing the prime minister, it's brexit which will drown out everything else. jonathan blake, bbc news, manchester. our chief political correspondent vicki young sent us this update from the conference in manchester: it is very clear what the message is at the conservative party conference. starting with borisjohnson this morning and then reiterated in the conference hall time and time again. it is on the banners, the posters all around here. get brexit done. that has been the message from the prime minister. he of course says he wants to get a deal with brussels but would be willing to leave without a deal as well and of course that is the controversy within the party. we have seen several conservative mps are booted out of the parliamentary party. now, some of them are turning up here to put their message across, that they are simply trying to stop no deal, but the party knows it has to really get that issue sorted in some way before it can go on to talk about other things, such as health spending and spending on education, spending on extra police officers. they want to talk about that as well this week. there is another thing going on here, because lots of tory mps are going to be glancing back at westminster, because of course unusually, parliament is still going to be sitting for the next few days. they are slightly worried about some kind of ambush from the opposition parties, maybe a vote of no confidence in the government, so they are all going to be sitting here wondering if they have two hot foot it back to the house of commons, but the focus here, no doubt about it, will be borisjohnson, really trying to say that parliament is blocking brexit. he says he is on the side of the people as he tries to deliver it by october the 31st. and we'll find out how this story —— and many others —— are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are joel taylor, who's the deputy news editor at the metro, and benedicte paviot, the uk correspondent for france 2a, and the president of the foreign press association. labour mps have rallied to support dame margaret hodge, who is facing a re—selection battle after her constituency voted for the chance to pick a new candidate. the former labour deputy leader harriet harman said she was dismayed by the move, saying ‘surely this cannot stand'. the former foreign secretary david miliband said it was ‘mad, truly crazy.‘ and that ‘any constituency would be lucky to have margaret as their mp.‘ and the deputy leader of the labour party tom watson said he had ‘no doubt margaret will win a full selection‘ but that the process was an unnecessary distraction on the cusp of a general election. dame margaret — who‘sjewish, and has been critical of jeremy corbyn‘s handling of anti—semitism in the party said she was "disappointed" but would fight to keep her seat in east london. the government‘s key announcement at the start of the conservative party conference, was on funding for hospital projects in england. our health editor, hugh pym, takes a look at the details. new money for old hospitals, that‘s what today‘s announcement adds up to. here at the epsom and st helier trust in south—west london, they admit some of the buildings aren‘t fit for modern healthcare. now they have the green light for a new acute hospital, covering a&e and urgent care. it‘s likely to be built here, partly on this car park, one of the projects highlighted by ministers. what we‘re putting in place today is a ten year programme of hospital building and rebuilding. six of the projects will start immediately. the rest of them will develop the plans, but they are getting the go—ahead. so what are the details of the plan? £2.7 billion will be invested over five years at six trusts for new hospitals or upgrades. there‘s £100 million for another 3a to start planning for further projects over the next decade. following the announcement today, the prime minister visited north manchester general hospital. health leaders welcomed the news, but say it‘s just a start and there is still a backlog of repairs. i think it‘s good news for the six hospitals concerned, but they‘re just the tip of the iceberg. we know we have a £6 billion maintenance backlog. we know we have to invest in digital and how we transform care to provide a 21st century health service. so a good start, but we need a lot more. it‘s significant that the investment at this trust and others will come direct from the treasury and not from the controversial private finance initiative which imposed long—term cost burdens. but it remains to be seen precisely how the government intends to raise the money. the conservatives hope that in the long term, dozens more hospital facilities will be built, but that‘ll be subject to who‘s in power and what‘s affordable at the time. hugh pym, bbc news. the health secretary says he‘s "looking very seriously" at whether to make vaccinations compulsory for all children going to school in england. falling rates of immunisation and a rise in diseases such as measles, have led to calls from experts for compulsory vaccines. matt hancock told the conservative party conference that unvaccinated children are "putting other children at risk" — and says he‘s taken legal advice this week on the issue. flood warnings are in place across england and wales, with the forecast for heavy rain. here‘s a flavour of how different parts of the country have been affected. lifeguards near newquay have reported that the clips have become dangerous as a result of spring tides and the big serve. steps leading to the surf life—saving club had been washed away. people are being urged to avoid the area. this was the scene in cardiff and buses have replaced trains. people have been one to be vigilant with further heavy rain and high tides due over the next two days. sea defences on the yorkshire coast could be overwhelmed in hornsea tonight and there is also a warning in place for hessel haven and people near the neighbouring coast are advised to avoid using low line footpaths near to beaches. well with a little more detail on that, i‘m joined in the studio by our weather presenter, ben rich...ben tell us first about this flooding and why it has been so wet. after what was quite a quiet spell of weather, things have really woken up in the last week or so. we have had a few different bouts of heavy rain and that is part of the reason why we have seen such problems because the ground was already wet before it started raining this weekend but i think we can take a look at some of oui’ think we can take a look at some of our weather graphics and that might help to explain a little bit more about what is going on. that cloud that you can see moving across the british ice, that is the area of low pressure that brought the outbreaks of rain and when i show you the radar picture, you can see how widespread that has been. this is the last 2a hours, that rain affecting parts of england and wales and some of that into northern ireland and scotland as well. we have seen quite widely, a0 millimetres of rain, two inches and places of that is why we have had such flooding. we can see from the most such flooding. we can see from the m ost rece nt such flooding. we can see from the most recent radar frame, things have calmed down a little bit and it does look whiter. of course, all that water is still running into the river catchments, so still lots of flood warnings in the last time i checked, 63 flood warnings from the environment agency in england, 13 in wales, but those figures are changing all the time because rivers are reacting in different ways. worth staying in touch with those of you are in an area that could be affected. it is not only rivers, some coastal flooding as well. we have got very high tides at the moment, a combination of weather factors really. it will get a bit quieter and then at livens up again. absolutely, if we look at the forecast for the next 2a hours or so, it is mainly dry, a lot of fine weather through tonight, it is going to be quite chilly out there, but you can see approaching from the south west there is another lump of rain and that is going to affect similarareas, rain and that is going to affect similar areas, parts of wales, north—west england, over high ground we could see another 70 millimetres of rain. that could well be enough to cause some further localised flooding and some really grim travelling conditions, big puddles, surface water that kind of thing, and if you look further ahead, this is an interesting based. this is a hurricane in the atlantic, very unusually strong this far north and east in the atlantic, it is called hurricane lorenzo, a category four hurricane lorenzo, a category four hurricane shirt while ago. it looks huge and it is and it is really powerful and it is heading this way. towards the north—west of europe. and it will not be a hurricane gets here but it will impact our weather. the problem with this and a lot of people looking for certainty, and there is very little certainty. let me talk you through a couple of charts. i will try and expand what is going on, wheeze computer models to try and help us forecast the weather and this is one, this area of low pressure in the middle of the screen, that is what one computer model does with the remnants of it, ta kes model does with the remnants of it, takes it towards the south west of the uk, northern france does not do much with it, some outbreaks of rain. let me show you a different computer model, the same weather situation, different computer model, there goes the remnants of lorenzo, not heading towards us but to the atlantic, really deep area of low pressure, you see those white line squeezing together. like a dartboa rd. squeezing together. like a dartboard. though show the pressure gradient as we call it, the strength of the wind. the difference with thatisitis of the wind. the difference with that is it is way out at the atla ntic that is it is way out at the atlantic and that will give us a feed of warm south—westerly winds. that would probably be preferable, but which of those scenarios would it end up being? the southerly one or that one or somewhere in between and to be quite honest with you, at the moment wejust and to be quite honest with you, at the moment we just do not know. and to be quite honest with you, at the moment wejust do not know. we are talking for this weather thursday or friday, but we are likely to see these impacts. we are not going to flick a switch and suddenly know, but as the days go by and hopefully those different models, those computer models will firm up, agree with each other and we will start have a better idea. keep us posted, i am sure you will. thank you. there have been running street—battles in hong kong, in some of the worst violence in more than three months of

sports correspondent katy gornall with more. this was a game that these fans will remember for a very long time. one that more than lived up to its box office billing. it was exciting and exhilarating. despite the hot and humid conditions here in tokyo, wales out of the blocks early on with that try. australia hit back in the first half, when gareth davies broke free to, you felt the momentum was with wales. you have to give full credit to assure you further the way they surged back into this match, scoring two tries and a penalty in the second half to get to within a point of wales. the tension at that point was written all over the face of the welsh coach. what they needed at that point where cool heads and they had that in the replacement fly—half who was on for dan who went off at half—time. wales were able to hold on and hang on to secure a memorable victory to mark them out as contenders to win the whole world cup. lewis hamilton has extended his lead at the top of the formula one standings after winning the russian grand prix. hamilton trailed behind sebastian vettel who drove past his ferrari teammate charles lecler in the first lap. but the german retired

again. since brendan rodgers took over, only liverpool and manchester city have won more points. james maddison has been key in that but with him injured, the foxes were looking for someone else to spark against newcastle. it didn‘t take long. ricardo with the brilliant run and even better finish, leicester with the lead. newcastle just couldn‘t get hold of the ball and they couldn‘t control their temper, a horrific challenge from isaac hayden on dennis pratt quickly deemed worthy of a red card. once again, it wasn‘t going to plan and it only got worse, particularly whenjamie vardy did what jamie vardy does best. the floodgates were open, the foxes running riot. pratt back on his feet and in on the action. jamie vardy scored a second before wilfred made it five. more misery for the magpies. leicester, too clinical, too good and back into third. that‘s all the sport for now. cabinet ministers have been telling the conservative party conference in manchester that the uk will leave the european union at the end of october without or without a deal — despite legislation aimed at preventing a "no deal" brexit. and speaking on the andrew marr show this morning, borisjohnson claims he‘s been "a model of restraint" when it comes to his use of language, in the brexit debate. hannah al—othman is political correspondent at buzzfeed, and jack blanchard edits the london playbook for politico. i spoke to them a short while ago from manchester. i don‘t think you can call a party unified that has just sacked 21 of its mps. i mean there is obviously huge divisions in the tory party over europe as there have been for yea rs. over europe as there have been for years. having said that, there‘s a sense of people trying to get behind the prime minister, i don‘t feel like they have got a of choice, people know an election is coming soon but they do not know when yet. given the scale of the chaotic background in politics, i don‘t think it has gone too badly here for the prime minister today, but the backdrop in parliament at home where he has no majority with his brexit deadline looming and the lurid allegations in the press today, none of it is ideal. hannah, parliament is still sitting as we know, but the prorogation should not have happened, so they are carrying on. how much are you picking up on a sense that people at the conference are then missing out?|j sense that people at the conference are then missing out? i mean it feels very much sort of business as usual here. it is as though rees had happened, the government has been quite clever in the legislation that they put down next week, it is not controversial stuff, so their mps are not there, they're hoping it will not be the end of the world, but they run the risk of the opposition putting something down that will be tricky for the government. there has been talk about no confidence, whether or not that will happen, we do not know how likely that there is but they are running a risk by carrying on as normal. what is your view on the likelihood and timing of a vote of no confidence? well i think the trick is, nothing has changed on that front. it is not really in the interests of the opposition parties to trigger an election now, mainly because it is what borisjohnson wa nts. because it is what borisjohnson wants. he does good show of bluff and bluster and bring it on and all the rest but the truth is he is in a terrible position, he has lost its majority, he cannot get anything done and it is down to the opposition parties, when the selection happens and there‘s a strong feeling amongst the labour party and the liberal democrats that we should just sit here and watch him struggle, because he is in a parlous position and there is nothing worse for a prime minister than looking powerless in front the country. this brexit deadline is now only 32 days away, something like that and a lot has been passed saying he has to extend. he keeps saying he has to extend. he keeps saying he has to extend. he keeps saying he can get around but we have no idea how he thinks he can do that. if they can force him to extend that deadline, it will look bad for him. i would expect them to sit tight and watch him squirm. hannah, the bill that is going to stop britain leaving the eu without a deal is the benn bill, what you think is happening from the perspective of the government to look at ways around that? well, the government keep saying that britain is going to leave the eu on the 31st of october and also that they will obey the law. it does not really look like those two things can happen in unison and the suggestion is that they have found a way to get around it. the routes that have been suggested so far, none of them really stand up to scrutiny. i imagine that government lawyers are working as hard as they can to try and find routes around it and people like hilary benn who are trying to prevent no deal are also trying to predict what the government might do and think of ways to circumvent that. basically everyone is working overtime at the minute thinking about this particular piece of legislation. jack, we know now what the courts are prepared to get involved in. that is a really important point. this astonishing court ruling we saw last week by the prime minister was found to have broken the law and wrongly advised the queen that it was ok to suspend parliament, that has repercussions beyond just that particular case. we now know the courts are ready to step in. if he is ready to break the law, the supreme court will hold him to account and we will expect them to account and we will expect them to come down like a tonne of bricks on him and we also know that we have a parliament that is ready and able to pass laws very quickly, to get its way. borisjohnson thought by suspending parliament that he could stop this hilary benn law going through. that failed dismally. even if he does think he has found some loophole, some sneaky way around it, i would expect parliament to step in again and try and act with a new law again and try and act with a new law again and try and act with a new law again andi again and try and act with a new law again and i would expect the supreme court, from what we have seen so far, to uphold that law. i think borisjohnson, for all the far, to uphold that law. i think boris johnson, for all the bluff far, to uphold that law. i think borisjohnson, for all the bluff in big toe, has got a big problem. a bbc investigation into licensed puppy farming in west wales, has found widespread suffering and abuse of dogs, despite regular checks by vets and council inspectors. the year—long investigation found dogs in filthy and unfit conditions, in premises that were meant to be inspected at least once a year. wyre davies has this special report. west wales has been called the capital of puppy farming, worth more than £12 million each year in wales alone, and which produces around 2a,000 puppies annually. but in a year—long investigation, we found appalling conditions in farm afterfarm, all council—approved businesses. dog lover danielle foley bought her new puppy, a beagle she called winston, from a licensed puppy farm in carmarthenshire after seeing him advertised online. she paid the breeder directly £650. but within days, winston had fallen seriously ill with parvovirus, a highly contagious disease that is often fatal. two o‘clock in the morning, the vet rang my mum and said his organs are shutting down and it‘s going to be a slow and painful death, so can they make it quick and easy for him? the breeder who sold danielle the puppy told us he maintained excellent standards, even though inspection reports found problems with waste, poor record—keeping and the presence of parvo at his farm, yet it was still given a licence by the council. vets are part of the welfare system too, yet according to senior vets we showed our evidence to, some of their colleagues have been found wanting. the system is definitely broken and vets are an integral part of it. as a profession, we absolutely have a part to play. our responsibility is to the health and welfare of the animals under our care. across the uk, there are safeguards in place to regulate puppy farming. but when that system fails, it‘s dogs that suffer, and owners who can lose thousands of pounds. wyre davies, bbc news. and you can see more on this in bbc wales investigates — inside the uk‘s puppy—farm capital. that‘s tomorrow night at 8:30, on bbc one wales. it‘ll also be available, on the iplayer. hundreds of workers, who lost their jobs when the northern ireland bus manufacturer, wrightbus went into administration have staged a protest outside a church in county antrim. the green pastures church in ballymena received £15 million in donations from the wright group, which is controlled byjeff wright, a pastor at the church. exit polls in austria suggest that the conservative party led by the former chancellor sebastian kurz has won the largest share of the votes in the country‘s snap election. mr kurz told jubliant supporters at his party‘s headquarters that the result had left him almost speechless. the polls suggest he‘s won about 37% of the votes, well clear of the next biggest party, the centre left social democrats. the process of building a coalition is likely to begin soon. a roundabout featuring a family of four giant wooden hedgehogs has been named as the best in the uk. the roundabout appreciation society described the roundabout in truro, which features hedgehogs named cecile, patricia, it also highlighted "beautiful" and "magnificent" roundabouts in birmingham, goole and swindon. the top examples will feature in the society‘s 2020 calendar. bizarrely, i met a woman yesterday who knows the artist to make those hedgehogs. how peculiar. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with ben rich. some part of the uk have had more than theirfair share some part of the uk have had more than their fair share of some part of the uk have had more than theirfair share of rain, we have had some flooding problems, still flood warnings in force for parts of england and wales. flooding from rivers, but also around the coast, because there are some high tides. also a spell of brisk wind for east of england, this area of low pressure is pulling away. but through the night, things quietened down. the wind
