:00:00. > :00:09.Conservative Party Conference as Prime Minister.
:00:10. > :00:11.Brexit looks set to dominate the agenda.
:00:12. > :00:15.She'll announce new laws to make Britain what she calls "sovereign
:00:16. > :00:20.and independent" again. Social policy is also on the agenda,
:00:21. > :00:25.as those with long-term conditions won't face being reassessed in order
:00:26. > :00:29.to claim disability benefits. Questions again over safety
:00:30. > :00:33.in boxing, after the death of Mike Towell following a bout
:00:34. > :00:37.in Glasgow. And Rory McIlroy leads
:00:38. > :00:40.the charge for Europe, as they try to overturn team USA's
:00:41. > :01:07.The Prime Minister has arrived in Birmingham ahead of
:01:08. > :01:11.the Conservative Party Conference, where Brexit is expected to dominate
:01:12. > :01:20.The agenda. She will interdeuce a great repeal bill, that would end
:01:21. > :01:23.the supremecy of European law over British law. It comes as the
:01:24. > :01:27.Government announced a shift in policy today for tens of thousands
:01:28. > :01:29.of people claiming disability benefits. This report contains flash
:01:30. > :01:41.photography from the start. It's Theresa May's birthday. Happy
:01:42. > :01:44.birthday. She'll have plenty to say on Brexit this week, she doesn't
:01:45. > :01:48.want her Government defined by it. So in Birmingham, she'll be battling
:01:49. > :01:52.on the home front too, trying to convince voters that Conservatives
:01:53. > :01:59.are hard headed, but not hard hearted. So straight away, there was
:02:00. > :02:02.an announcement that repeated medical assessments for benefit
:02:03. > :02:07.claimants who suffer from long-term sickness, would be ended. For people
:02:08. > :02:11.who got a serious condition that means that they can't work, if that
:02:12. > :02:15.condition is going to stay the same or get worse, there's no point
:02:16. > :02:18.re-assessing them. We will stop re-assessing them when we've worked
:02:19. > :02:22.out who they are. But it will be a large number of people. It will help
:02:23. > :02:27.many tens of thousands of people. But two million people receive
:02:28. > :02:31.Employment and Support Allowance, so it's only those with chronic,
:02:32. > :02:35.long-term illnesses such as MS, who are likely to benefit from the new
:02:36. > :02:39.policy. Those whose conditions may improve are still likely to be
:02:40. > :02:44.regularly re-assessed. So Labour want the Government to go further,
:02:45. > :02:48.but they also accuse Theresa May of attempting to steal their political
:02:49. > :02:52.clothes. Certainly it's a welcome U-turn by this Government, following
:02:53. > :02:58.my announcement last Monday that the Labour Party would be scrapping the
:02:59. > :03:03.very discredited work capability assessment, which the Government
:03:04. > :03:08.tried to reform in 2012. So, yes, it's a positive move but the devil
:03:09. > :03:11.will be in the detail. When she stood here in July as our
:03:12. > :03:16.new Prime Minister, Theresa May pledged to fight burning injustice
:03:17. > :03:19.and to help what she called ordinary, working class families.
:03:20. > :03:23.Since then we've had a policy on grammar schools. Now she's invading
:03:24. > :03:28.Labour territory once again, not just in welfare, but on workers'
:03:29. > :03:31.rights. As well as that political fight on the home front, Theresa May
:03:32. > :03:35.will take on those who say she's dragging her feet on Brexit. She'll
:03:36. > :03:41.announce that the Government will introduce new laws next year to make
:03:42. > :03:43.Britain a sovereign nation. But she's not quite ready to tell us
:03:44. > :03:48.exactly when we'll leave the EU. Our political correspondent,
:03:49. > :03:50.Vicki Young, is at the Tory How signifcant is tonight's
:03:51. > :04:00.announcement on Brexit? Since Theresa May became Prime
:04:01. > :04:10.Minister, she's stuck to that mantra Brexit means Brexit. She's come
:04:11. > :04:18.under a lot of pressure to give more details. What she's giving us here
:04:19. > :04:19.is detail about the preparations, the things that need to be done
:04:20. > :04:20.before we actually leave the European Union. This is about EU
:04:21. > :04:20.laws. Before Parliament starts scrapping the ones that it really
:04:21. > :04:24.doesn't like, they have to be put into UK law. She is saying that
:04:25. > :04:28.process will now start in the spring, but it will not come into
:04:29. > :04:30.effect until the day we leave the European Union. In an interview with
:04:31. > :04:35.the Sunday Times, she says this marks the first stage in the UK
:04:36. > :04:38.becoming a sovereign and independent country once again. Her team say
:04:39. > :04:45.this shows that they're serious about Brexit, that they have a
:04:46. > :04:48.practical plan and they want to make this a smooth process as possible.
:04:49. > :04:51.It's music to the ears of many of her Euro-sceptic MPs, former Tory
:04:52. > :04:55.ministers called for exactly this earlier in the week. Important to
:04:56. > :04:59.say what it doesn't mean. This does not tell us anything about when she
:05:00. > :05:03.will trigger the negotiations with our EU partners. It won't tell us
:05:04. > :05:06.what our final relationship will be like with the European Union, nor
:05:07. > :05:10.what exactly she wants to see in that. I spoke to one Cabinet
:05:11. > :05:14.minister here earlier and said, the problem about it dominating the
:05:15. > :05:17.conference. He said that Brexit is incredibly important. It's very
:05:18. > :05:20.important that we have this discussion, particularly tomorrow.
:05:21. > :05:23.But then they want to move on to domestic policy as well. Thank you.

:06:40. > :06:42.Mike Towell's death has led to renewed questions
:06:43. > :06:51.The British Boxing Board of Control do a fantastic job.
:06:52. > :06:53.The medics are on hand at every show.
:06:54. > :06:56.But campaigners say boxers paytoo high a price for their sport.
:06:57. > :07:01.We've been calling and the British Medical Association have been
:07:02. > :07:04.calling for boxing to be banned for many years.
:07:05. > :07:08.As long as you have people punching each other in the head
:07:09. > :07:12.at great force, neurological damage will be sustained.
:07:13. > :07:15.It's very rare that it's a one-punch or very rare
:07:16. > :07:19.there are deaths in the ring, but there are many,
:07:20. > :07:24.many people who end up with life-long disability.
:07:25. > :07:27.As boxing mourns the death of Iron Mike and considers
:07:28. > :07:31.the consequences, his family have to come to terms with a tragedy
:07:32. > :07:39.that's left a young boy without a father.
:07:40. > :07:41.A 39-year-old man died and three people were seriously hurt,

:08:16. > :08:21.Strong criticism from the French, what more can you tell us? Another
:08:22. > :08:26.attack on what should have been a place of sanctuary. Doctors in the
:08:27. > :08:30.hospital in Eastern Aleppo say there were cluster munitions, barrel bombs
:08:31. > :08:34.and even chlorine bombs that hit the hospital this morning. Two died and
:08:35. > :08:38.ten were injured. Can you see in those pictures the destruction of
:08:39. > :08:42.the medical facilities. The French Foreign Minister, as you say, has
:08:43. > :08:46.said the perpetrators will be held to account. He said that France is
:08:47. > :08:52.mobilising the UN Security Council to bring this tragedy to an end. For
:08:53. > :08:56.five-and-a-half years the UN has proven itself unable to end Syria's
:08:57. > :09:00.tragedy. Last month there was the serious fire agreement for Aleppo
:09:01. > :09:04.between the US and Russia that collapsed into acrimony. The Assad
:09:05. > :09:09.regime seems to push on towards Aleppo. It feels if it wins Aleppo
:09:10. > :09:13.it could win the war. The price appears to be the annihilation of
:09:14. > :09:13.vast swathes of Syria's largest city.

:09:17. > :09:18.referendum tomorrow on whether to accept future

:11:09. > :11:17.good money for the smugglers. In Greece, thousands are stuck in
:11:18. > :11:23.grim conditions. Several hundred refugees have
:11:24. > :11:31.disappeared from this The children and their mother
:11:32. > :11:36.are from Damascus. Anyone who can afford it uses
:11:37. > :11:39.a smuggler, she says. If you have money, you go in with
:11:40. > :11:41.the Mafia. Yes. This is the route the refugees have
:11:42. > :11:56.been taking from Greece, through Macedonia over the mountains
:11:57. > :11:58.eventually to Austria and Germany. Governments say closing the borders

:12:49. > :12:57.the story of the day Confident, just a little. The US
:12:58. > :13:01.fans with their familiar dawn chorus. But after yesterday's
:13:02. > :13:06.comeback, could Europe silence them? Let them have their chance. Let them
:13:07. > :13:14.have their US, USA, all that stuff. I think we've got this one.
:13:15. > :13:20.Momentum's on our side. Quelling the crowd wouldn't be easy. Thomas
:13:21. > :13:24.Pieters showed them how to do it. Passions were running high. Missed
:13:25. > :13:31.European putts greeted with glee. But the visitors held their nerve.
:13:32. > :13:35.From four down, Rafael Cabrera Bello thrillingly snatched a half. 24
:13:36. > :13:43.hours earlier, Europe looked down and out. Now they trailed by just a
:13:44. > :13:46.single point. There was a dazzling start to their afternoon, that's
:13:47. > :13:53.courtesy of Danny Willett, how to answer your critics. As the golf
:13:54. > :13:57.starting hitting uncharted heights, McIlroy utterly magnificent. That's
:13:58. > :14:02.what the Ryder Cup means to him. But the US fans are still cranking up
:14:03. > :14:09.the volume, as Patrick Reed gave them something to shout about.
:14:10. > :14:13.COMMENTATOR: No, surely not! Oh, it's unbelievable. On a glorious
:14:14. > :14:18.day, the sporting temperature is rising fast.
:14:19. > :14:24.It's certainly a lively atmosphere. In fact, Rory McIlroy confronted one
:14:25. > :14:26.fan who verbally abused him. As for the golf, Europe are currently
:14:27. > :14:29.leading in two of this afternoon's four matches. So it looks to be

:14:47. > :14:48.as Salford relegated Hull KR from Super League
:14:49. > :15:01.after beating them 19-18. They call this the million-pound
:15:02. > :15:05.game, no other occasion in this sport comes with such a price tag or

:15:48. > :15:53.unexpected, no-one saw this coming. O'Brien from near the halfway line,
:15:54. > :15:55.a drop goal, the golden point. A kick worth ?1 million. For Salford
:15:56. > :15:58.it was priceless.
