"David Cameron vows to scrap requirement to build affordable homes for rent," reports the Guardian, external.

The European Commission is "preparing to launch a propaganda offensive designed to keep Britain in the EU", says UKIP MEP Patrick O'Flynn. The party says Commission President Jean Claude Juncker told Mr O'Flynn in a written parliamentary answer that the Commission had decided to create "a Task Force for Strategic Issues" to "co-ordinate" its activities and "oversee the Commission's input into information activities in the run-up to the referendum".

Mr O'Flynn said:

A number of newspapers are looking ahead to the prime minister's conference speech. "David Cameron: The 2010s will be a 'defining, turnaround decade' for Britain," says the Telegraph, external.

The final day of business, external at the Conservative conference is about to begin. Before David Cameron's big speech - due at 11.30 BST - Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies and Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson will address conference.

David Cameron is not the only European leader with a major speech today. French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel will address the European Parliament in Strasbourg later.

It will be the first time the French and German leaders have spoken together to MEPs since François Mitterrand and Helmut Kohl debated the end of the Cold War in 1989.

It comes as EU states have pushed through plans for migrant quotas. Ms Merkel’s stance on the crisis has won her international admiration, but also criticism from politicians in other EU countries and some domestic pressure at home.

You can watch the speeches on the new Parliaments section of the BBC News website from 14.00 BST.

Boris Johnson is asked about his position on the EU referendum and whether he'd rule out leading the campaign for the UK to leave the bloc. He says he's supporting the PM in his renegotiations, and wants to see a reformed EU.

"We'll look at what the deal is and vote on that," he adds.

David Cameron has pledged to hold an in/out referendum on Britain's membership of the EU by the end of 2017.

Boris Johnson takes a call from a woman who says that if he were to run for PM in 2020 she would vote for the Conservatives for the first time. The London mayor and Conservative MP thanks her for her "kind" words but says he "may have to disappoint".

"My chances of running for the premiership  in 2020 are vanishingly small," he says, adding that there'll be "a great Grand National of candidates" hoping to succeed David Cameron.

Ryan Shorthouse, from "liberal conservative" think tank Bright Blue, tells Today that Theresa May's speech on immigration "hadn't landed well". He feels that the public, including Tory voters, are concerned about immigration but have "sophisticated views".

"We need skilled migrants. We want international students," he argues, adding that the public can "differentiate" between different types of immigrants. The home secretary feels she has to meet migration targets but this might "undermine other priorities" such as economic growth, he claims.

Boris Johnson says EU migration to the UK is causing "huge pressures",

LBC

Boris Johnson is asked about his views on immigration, during his LBC radio phone-in. He says he's "pro it", saying countries should welcome people who have the "energy, talent and something to contribute". But he adds that government must be able to control numbers.

The London Mayor says he has some sympathy with the points Home Secretary Theresa May made yesterday, remarking that she has had "a pretty tough time in parts of the media" in response to her speech.

The Today programme asks Conservatives for their reactions to Theresa May's speech on immigration yesterday, in which the home secretary argued that "mass immigration" is making it impossible to build a "cohesive society".

Party activist Loanna Morrison says she is "surprised" that papers on the right such as the Telegraph and Spectator have been hostile to the speech as "most of them had been saying the same thing for quite some time". She says most "people on the ground" agree with Mrs May, arguing that high levels of migration cause disadvantages for people - including already settled immigrant communities.

Asked whether senior Tories such as Mrs May and Chancellor George Osborne were using the conference to bid for the party leadership, she says the ministers are simply "cementing" their positions in government.

Campbell Robb, chief executive of housing charity Shelter, responds to the Conservatives' announcement of 200,000 "starter homes". He says the proposal will make the "affordabiloty crisis" worse by "getting rid of the few affordable homes we're building".

Mr Fallon told the Today programme the government was “slowly building a consensus” among MPs for UK involvement in airstrikes against so-called Islamic State targets in Syria. He said it was “illogical” to strike targets in Iraq - where the UK is participating in air strikes - but not Syria.

Speaking to Today earlier, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said the Russian intervention in Syria was “extremely unhelpful” and “dangerous”.

He said the UK was “absolutely with Turkey” in objecting to Russian incursions into Turkish airspace and added that Nato ministers were likely to condemn the actions in “very strong terms" when they meet in Brussels tomorrow. Russia, he said, must desist from action which props up Syria President Bashar al-Assad's regime.

Laura Kuenssberg tells Today that tax credits have been a huge talking point at the Conservative conference. She understands Tory MPs will "press very hard behind the scenes" to see if the leadership will give any ground on the cuts planned. The leadership is still saying it stands firm on the plans, she adds.

Looking ahead to the PM's speech, BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg says his big theme is that he wants to have achieved "a turnaround decade" by 2020, with a particular focus on wanting to fix some of society's problems.

She says the Tory leader will seek to "close down some of the fizz around the leadership speculation" so the party can concentrate on what it wants to do over the next five years. And he'll want to the leave the hall and the country in no doubt that the party won't go veering off to the right just because they have a majority, Laura adds.

Scotland Yard has criticised the BBC's decision to broadcast a Panorama programme on child sexual abuse, saying it could affect inquiries. It said it had "serious concerns" about the programme's impact on witnesses and some abuse victims considering coming forward to report crimes.

A man who made allegations against VIPs told Panorama campaigners may have led him into making sex abuse claims. The BBC said it was "important and fair investigative journalism".
