Officially, treasure. Theres fierce criticism here of the decision to suspend parliament for more than 4 weeks. Requested by the Prime Minister and approved by the queen it means members of parliament who want to prevent the uk leaving the European Union without a deal, have even less time to do that. For some, its a constitutional crisis, some critics use the word coup for others its a way to shortcut years of prevarication about brexit. Borisjohnson says it means he can get on with his agenda for the future. This from bbc Political Editor laura kuennsberg. Shutting up shop at the Prime Ministers request, the gates will clang shut here for an extra few days next month. Debates wont take place, mps wont vote or stand in the way of borisjohnson. We are bringing forward a new legislative programme on crime, on hospitals, and making sure that we have the Education Funding that we need. And there will be ample time on both sides of that crucial october the 17th summit, ample time, in parliament for mps to debate the eu, to debate brexit and all the other issues. Ample time. It is not unusual for a new Prime Minister to close parliament for a short while to press reset, to announce a new programme of what they want to do. But its intensely controversial to do it now. One former minister told me its a declaration of war, and certainly the first big shot in a fight thats been brewing since borisjohnson moved into number ten. And the outrage is shared by senior tories, too. At a time of national crisis, Parliament Must be able to meet, to hold the government to account, to represent our constituents, the electorate, up and down the country. Suspending parliament is not acceptable, its not on. What the Prime Minister is doing is a sort of smash and grab on our democracy in order to force through a no deal exit from the European Union. Whats he so afraid of . Hes acting like some kind of tinpot dictator. Frankly, its not acceptable and, if mps dont stop it, then its no exaggeration, its not hyperbole to say this is the day any semblance of uk parliamentary democracy absolutely dies. Even the speaker, who is meant to be impartial, let his fury be shown. He said hed had no contact from the government, but this move represents a constitutional outrage. He went on to say. Ministers are all too aware this is controversial, and wont be surprised by an onslaught of scrutiny. Reporter are we in a constitutional crisis . Sorry, im just got to go. Not exactly all forward about making the case today. But the move was officially sealed with the queen by a trio of conservative privy councillors, who disturbed her majestys own summer recess, at her balmoral estate in the highlands, today. Reporter are you trying to avoid scrutiny in parliament . Certainly not, no. Are you worried about a legal challenge . This is a completely proper constitutional procedure. All entirely normal, the leader of the commons told us at the airport later. And brexit backers, guess what, back this, too. The Prime Minister is entitled to go to her majesty, the queen, to seek a new queens speech, particularly as a new leader and a new Prime Minister. He wants to set out his domestic agenda, and i dont think theres anything unusual about that. Boris johnson wants to write himself into history as the Prime Minister who did what it took to get brexit done, but the methods he will pursue to do that, could make or break him, too. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. So after all this sparring between politicians, what do voters in the uk make of the news . The bbcs alex forsyth has been talking to some about their reactions. During the last days of summer on the banks of the avon, the seismic moves in westminster might seem a world away. But at the deli cafe in the town centre, there is brexit talk. Ownerjean voted to leave and welcomes what she sees as Decisive Action from the Prime Minister. Theyve had three years to do this. Mps i think now are not going to do it. They can suspend parliament and get on with brexit. Some of the cafes regulars, friends from across the midlands, have a similar view. It is sad that this little core of politicians who didnt like what we, the public, voted for, have thrown their rattles out of the pram and caused all this fuss. And ijust think boris is absolutely right. Im surprised that he can actually Prorogue Parliament but, at the same time, its not democratic, whats happening in parliament. The referendum result here almost mirrored the National Picture and this town is still divided. If its being suspended, thats very alarming, isnt it . I think what hes doing is great because otherwise were not going to get the democracy which is what 52 of this country voted for. Sophie helped set up the brexit cafe where people can meet to discuss differences. She is an eu citizen and part of a local pro europe pressure group. You know, borisjohnson is turning into a tyrant, someone whojust thinks he has all the power. She is an eu citizen and part of a local pro europe pressure group. The constitutional arguments may be raging farfrom here, but the constitutional arguments may be raging far from here, but so the constitutional arguments may be raging farfrom here, but so is the constitutional arguments may be raging far from here, but so is the debate about how to get out of this situation. And so, with tensions running high in the uk, what is the eu making of all this . Our europe editor katya adler has this update from brussels. From the eu perspective, it is seen asa from the eu perspective, it is seen as a domestic matter. Angela merkel today refused to comment publicly for that reason. If you asked me whether the Prime Ministers actions today are making eu citizens set up, smell the coffee, and believe that he is serious about a no deal brexit, i would say to you that they already believed him. That belief is not panicking eu leaders, they are not panicking eu leaders, they are not scurrying into a corner and desperately looking for any compromise to avoid no deal. When it comes to getting rid of the backstop for the irish border, if there is no realistic, workable alternative in place, that means exposing the eus whole single market, and they think thatis whole single market, and they think that is not more harmful than exposing to a no deal brexit. They have said that no deal is better than a bad deal, and the eu believe that as well. However, the eu says it is open to alternatives on a backstop that the uk may come up with, and at a low level there are already talks going on across the channel. And if you want to know anything more about the suspension of parliament or brexit you can go to bbc. Com news you can also download the bbc news app. Lets get some of the days other news. Tropical storm dorian has strengthened to a category one hurricane. A state of emergency was declared on monday for porto rico. But, the island was lucky this time to miss the worst of the storm. It is quiet. Puerto rico was not lashed by the hurricane, they dodged a bullet and it is all but over. The storm has tracked north eastward over the last 2a hours, so much so that the main island of puerto rico has been essentially spared. That is the great news. The islands of vieques and culebra, which are just off the coast of the main island of puerto rico, are receiving heavy wind, heavy rain but nothing that cannot be managed. I spoke with the federal Emergency Management agency, fema, which has representatives in both culebra and vieques, and they both report that the power is on, there is no emergency, there is no trees down, no power poles down everything is fine. The Us Virgin Islands is taking a battering from this hurricane. There were seeing winds and rains, really heavy windfall and rainfall and winds that we would normally see in a hurricane right swing, left to right. It is unclear if the power has gone out. Ive tried to get an answer on that but have been unable to yet. The british Virgin Islands are also getting hit pretty hard, but right now all the attention is focusing on where dorian is headed. Right before we came on the air, actually, i saw that the storm had strengthened to 80 miles per hour. It is, as you look at the National Hurricane centers projected cone, heading towards the state of florida and, by the time it gets there, it could be a major hurricane. Potentially a category three. Lets get more now from brigitte berry. She is on st thomas in the Us Virgin Islands and works for the Virgin Islands olympic committeee. Thank you for giving us your time.

I know you have been through a number of hurricanes how bad is this . Been through a number of hurricanes how bad is this . Not bad at all, compared to those. With those we had no power for days and compared to those. With those we had no powerfor days and days, and for harry kane marilyn, a year. We have some down power lines, so no electricity to parts of the island now, i know stjohnjust electricity to parts of the island now, i know stjohn just got power back earlier this evening. We expect our power to be on by tomorrow, and there are some trees down, a bit of flooding, but comparatively nothing compared to category five and category three hurricane and you just mention. We have seen some of the images you sent us on our screens. You had to move a substantial branch to get out of the house, didnt you . Substantial branch to get out of the house, didnt you . Yes, absolutely. But compared to having your entire road covered with branches after hurricane irma, i can do one branch. We were surprised at how big it was. Winds of iii we were surprised at how big it was. Winds of 111 mph are still something to deal with. Absolutely, im fortu nate to deal with. Absolutely, im fortunate im in a lower elevation, tucked behind a hill. My personal spaceis tucked behind a hill. My personal space is actually pretty safe. It is the people on the top of the hills who have the most incredible views who have the most incredible views who really do get the brunt of the storm. Thank you very much for talking to us.

This is the worst single act of violence since president obrador came to power. He promised peace. Translation it is shameful that people act this way. It is the most shameful thing there is. The president also said there would be an investigation into whether any collusion took place between the authorities and the criminals who carried out the attack.

The climate campaigner Greta Tunberg has arrived in new york after a well publicised trip across the atlantic under sail to minimize her carbon emissions. It took 15 days. Shell nowjoin climate events ahead of a big un meeting in september, calling on World Leaders to act to try to reduce the effects of global warming. The bbcs Chris Buckler was there as she arrived. When World Leaders travel to the united nations, they rarely get a reception like this. The un brought out a flotilla of boats to welcome a 16 year old schoolgirl. Its a sign of how much of a figurehead Greta Thunberg has become. Greta has come to new york to raise concerns about climate change, but even the journey itself was intended to send a message. She wouldnt fly because of the environmental impact, instead she spent two weeks on a yacht powered only by the wind and sun. The ground is still shaking for me so, but i want to thank everyone so much, everyone who is here, and everyone who is involved in this climate fight because this is a fight across borders, across continents. The whole trip was designed to attract publicity. From the online map tracking gretas progress, to the twitter account posts from the branded boat. The malizia is a racing yacht fitted with underwater turbines and solar panels. Its designed for long distances, even in rough weather. Were currently doing between 20 and 25 knots. Last night, we hit 30 knots and we are about 300 miles away from nova scotia and its very rough with very high waves. But just as difficult as the sailing have been some of the questions about it. This was promoted as a trip designed to have a zero carbon footprint, but there have been reports that in order to get the yacht back to europe, some crewmembers are having to be flown to america. Greta thunberg has become the face of a campaign and, having made it across continents, she will be a key voice at the next months un Climate Action summit here in new york. She also plans to travel to chile for another conference at the end of the year and how she gets there and makes it back to europe in an environmentally friendly way is an answer her team is still trying to answer.

The damage was discovered after officials investigated reports of trucks going into get illegal hardwood. A co ordinated response will start next month. Taliban leaders say theyre close to finalising a peace deal that will see the withdrawal of us troops from afghanistan.

Jessi combs has been killed in a crash after trying to set a land speed record. They havent released further details yet. She has been a strong advocate for womens rights but her campaign failed to gain traction. She failed to qualify for the third aquatic debate next month. Italys populist five Star Movement and the Centre Left Democratic party have told the countrys president that theyre prepared to form a coalition government. The move sidelines the far right league, whose leader Matteo Salvini brought down the previous coalition. Our correspondent in rome, james reynolds, has more. He ends this same month out of power in opposition. Hes out because he overreached. He brought down the coalition hoping to engineer a snap election in which he might win outright power. But this gamble had a serious, a fatal flaw. He outright power. But this gamble had a serious, a fatalflaw. He never thought about the possibility of his opponents teaming up against him, and that is what happened. Stop salvini has become the organising principle of the new coalition between five star and the democratic party. Thats what got them together in this new government. But in order to stay in power, in order to form a lasting administration, these two parties may need to find more Common Ground than their simple mutual distrust of a single man. And bear in mind, overthe distrust of a single man. And bear in mind, over the next few months or few years, in mind, over the next few months or few yea rs, however in mind, over the next few months or few years, however long this coalition lasts, it will be harried and traced at every step by the politician it has just sent into exile.

Their study, published in thejournal nature, challenges ideas about how humans evolved. Palab ghosh reports. In africa, in the distant past, advanced apelike creatures evolved into the first humans. For decades, scientists believed this specimen, nicknamed lucy, was the apelike a ncestor to nicknamed lucy, was the apelike ancestor to the first true humans but a ancestor to the first true humans buta dig ancestor to the first true humans but a dig in the far region of ethiopian found this object. It turned out to be the near complete skull of an ancestor of lucy. Using computerised scans, researchers built up this face of what it actually looked like. Analysis suggests lucys kind is a branch of it rather than a direct descendant, and so there are many more contenders to lay claim to being the a ncestors contenders to lay claim to being the ancestors of the very first humans to walk the earth.

Certainly one to keep an eye on a reminder of the main news and there is fierce criticism in the uk of the decision to suspend or Prorogue Parliament for more than four weeks. Requested by the Prime Minister, and approved by the queen, it means members of parliament who want to prevent the uk leaving the European Union without a deal, have even less time to do that. Thanks very much for watching. Hi there. Temperatures still made the mid 20s celsius across the south east of the country on wednesday, but as these weather fronts move through, theyve introduced much fresher conditions off the atlantic. Its low pressure now in charge of the weather as we head on into the end of the week. In fact, a fair amount of rain in the forecast for some northern and western areas. Thursday is looking fairly unsettled again across scotland and Northern Ireland thanks to this area of pressure. Its going to be pretty windy here with gusts reaching 30 a0mph in exposure. Barely any showers the further south and east to go and again a fairly warm afternoon with temperatures reaching the mid 20s celsius. Closer to the mid to high teens further north. As we move through thursday night it will remain windy across North Western areas. Further cloud and outbreaks of rain piling into scotland and Northern Ireland with a few showers in the north west of england staying dry. A cooler night for all of us, and temperatures ranging between 11 and 1a degrees. On into friday, low pressure to the north of the uk, a Conveyor Belt of cloud and rain streaming in off the atlantic will bring quite a lot of rainfall in fact to parts of the north and west of the uk, particularly across west and south west scotland into Northern Ireland. Rainfall totals really mounting up here. Further south and east, again, closer to the High Pressure in the near continent, it should tend to stay dry with sunny spells and again feeling quite warm. 2a, 25 degrees. Mid high teens again further north. It remains unsettled into the weekend with wind and rain around and then it turns even cooler as we head on into part two of the weekend as we see winds switch to a north westerly direction. So as we move out of friday and into saturday, this next feature will bring a lot of rainfall again to northern and western areas. By this point you could be looking at a few issues across south west scotland, dumfris and galloway, maybe four inches of rain falling by the time saturday is out. The rain band will pivot around and push on to west of england, wales, and sunshine and showers behind. And stays dry and fairly warm across the far south east. 20 21; degrees. Something cooler pushing into the north west. But as that front clears through during saturday night, it opens the floodgates to a polar maritime north westerly and that will be quite noticeable right up and down the country. So a much fresher start to the day, plenty of sunshine and showers across northern and western areas. A few heavy and thundery ones mixed in. Again it could be the south and east that stays dry in the sunshine but temperatures will struggle, ranging from 12 17 or 18 degrees. This is bbc news, the headlines theres been uproar following the uk governments decision to suspend parliament for nearly five weeks in the run up to brexit. Critics say itll help borisjohnson force through a no deal brexit. The government says its a standard procedure that will still leave time for mps to debate brexit.
