With 30 days to go until the UK is due to leave the EU, the BBC has learned that the government has prepared the legal text of an updated Brexit deal to put to Brussels. It includes an idea for dealing with the backstop - the plan to prevent a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic - which Boris Johnson and his ministers reject.

The government has suggested creating "customs clearance zones" in Northern Ireland and Ireland. But, with a crucial EU summit due to take place on 17 October, is this likely to work? The European Commission says it's willing to look at new proposals. But, it adds, these must achieve the same aims as the backstop and be legally enforceable.

Meanwhile, the Conservative Party conference is continuing in Manchester. The justice secretary will later outline changes aimed at ensuring serious offenders serve at least two-thirds of their sentence.

But, BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg writes, it is on delivering Brexit that Mr Johnson will be judged.

We also ask whether a no-deal Brexit is still possible. And what could happen during the next month?

Donald Trump is already facing impeachment proceedings over a telephone call with the president of Ukraine. And there's more bad news for the US president from Australia. Officials there say he called Prime Minister Scott Morrison and requested help with an investigation into the origins of the Mueller inquiry, which looked at whether Mr Trump had colluded with Russia in the 2016 presidential election. Media in Australia and the US say Mr Trump asked Mr Morrison for help discrediting the inquiry, which exonerated him of collusion.

It's complicated, so here's all you need to know about the Trump-Russia saga. The allegations around the Ukraine call are also far from simple, so here's our explainer.

The World Health Organization caused quite a stir four years ago when it said processed meats, such as sausages, bacon and ham, cause cancer. It added that red meat was "probably carcinogenic", although the evidence was limited. New research, however, suggests that cutting down on these foods is a waste of time for most people. It argues the evidence is weak and the risk to health small. This goes against the advice from most organisations. Here's the full story.

There's plenty of discussion of the UK government's revised Brexit plan. The Financial Times says the prime minister will know by the weekend whether Brussels is willing to engage with it. The Times, meanwhile, reports that Boris Johnson will ask the EU to rule out any further Brexit deadline extension as part of a deal. Elsewhere, the i leads on opposition party talks on Monday, which it says included discussing a possible government of national unity. Plus, the Daily Mail says Conservative plans on jail terms spell "the end of the soft prison sentence".
