scotla nd scotland break—out! and a spirited second—half performance at murrayfield earns scotland their first six nations win over wales in a decade. and coming up in half and hour here on bbc news — this week's edition of talking business. good evening and welcome to bbc news. tom watson, labour's deputy leader, has said the party must do better at winning over voters but he's also insisting that now is not the time to change the leadership. jeremy corbyn says he will stay on as leader. but a new opinion polljust released in the last few minutes by the sunday mirror says a third of non—labour voters

would be more likely to vote for the party — if mr corbyn went. in a moment we'll hear from former mayor of london ken livingstone and political commentator michael white, but first here's our political correspondent carole walker. jeremy corbyn has made it clear he has no intention of stepping down. he was in stoke yesterday, where labour saw off the challenge from ukip to win the by—election. but he is facing questions about the party's defeat in copeland. the tories were jubilant after seizing the seat that had been in labour's hands since it was created. labour's deputy leader told the scottish conference he was hugely disappointed with the result. ourjob at the next general election is to gain over 100 seats, keeping what we have is supposed to be the easy bit. this is not the time for a leadership election.

that issue was settled last year. but we have to do better. we cannot sustain this level of distance from our electorate, from our natural supporters. so things do have to change. even mr corbyn‘s most outspoken critics at westminster are not contemplating a leadership challenge. they fear he'd be re—elected and returned in a stronger position. but many of his mps are deeply concerned that, under his leadership, there is little prospect of the party regaining support amongst the wider electorate. david miliband, the former foreign secretary who now runs a charity based in new york, said he feared labour is losing support at its core base. he said, i'm obviously deeply concerned that labour is further from power than at any stage in my lifetime. his supporters sayjeremy corbyn is not the problem. it isn't about one person, it's about us reconnecting with our grassroots, it's about us getting the working class vote back. and of course by defeating ukip in stoke, we've

successfully done that. so let's share our successes, work, build upon it, and get back into government. but in scotland, where labour is struggling to recover, party members are concerned at the scale of the problems. i think the leadership in the uk is partly to blame for that. jeremy corbyn has the absolute support of the labour party, because we've got to get on with it. jeremy corbyn has said he is proud to continue as leader. he's not given any indication he'll be changing his approach. carole walker, bbc news. i spoke to veteran political observer michael white and former mayor of london, ken livingstone — who believes mr. corbyn should stay on as leader. we will win the next election on two grounds. a strategy to create good jobs for working—class people,

building council housing, reversing things we neglected today when we we re things we neglected today when we were in power under tony blair and gordon brown. and having a leader who is honest and you can trust. a lot disagree withjeremy corbyn‘s policies, but they recognise he is not someone who policies, but they recognise he is not someone who came policies, but they recognise he is not someone who came into politics to get rich. he has served his community and says what he believes and comes across as a straightforward guy. why did labour not win copeland 7 straightforward guy. why did labour not win copeland? 20 years ago labour got almost 60% of the voting copeland and that the election last year it was down to 42%. across britain, like the democrats in america, working—class traditional labour voters are so angry we did not create good jobs when we were in power and build homes for their kids and they have gone to ukip or the snp. we can only get them back if we focus on economic policy and i hope labour mps put the rubbish of the

past behind them and focus on that, because that is the only way a party with power, having a coherent economic policy. michael white, with power, having a coherent economic policy. michaelwhite, will jeremy corbyn stay? until the next election? i think he is. jeremy corbyn stay? until the next election? ithink he is. he is popular in the party as ken livingstone said. he has a mandate the second time, last year. my difficulty with what ken hirst —— ken has said. he will win the next election on the promise ofjobs and reversing the things we got wrong or failed to do the last time and they have an honest leader, he is right aboutjeremy, have an honest leader, he is right about jeremy, he is have an honest leader, he is right aboutjeremy, he is an honest man by the way things go. that was attractive about him to activists. i saw his campaign in the summer of 15 and as soon as i got there i realised he would win. it was like a religious meeting. but the opinion polls, the tories on 41% and labour

oi'i polls, the tories on 41% and labour onl polls, the tories on 41% and labour on i think 25,20 six. nobody believes what ken livingstone said, that labour is going to win. ken livingstone, nobody believes what you are saying about labour winning. the opinion polls do not reflect that. they don't now but we have three years to go. theresa may has screwed up the negotiations. we were promised we could leave the eu but stay in the single market and that is not going to happen. in 2019, in means we will see a catastrophic colla pse means we will see a catastrophic collapse of jobs means we will see a catastrophic collapse ofjobs which will be damaging to the economy. people realise they have been lied to by this government and jeremy has the alternative economic strategy. you don't need to increase taxes on ordinary people, you need to ensure google and starbucks pay their share and then he can fund a massive programme of investment and that feels an economy. our investment is at the worst level since the second world war. we will find out how this

story and other stories are covered in the front pages tomorrow. at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are caroline wheeler, the political editor of the sunday express. and anne ashworth, assistant editor and property editor at the times. media organisations have reacted angrily after several, including the bbc, cnn and the new york times were barred from a press briefing at the white house. the new york times said the move was an insult to democratic ideals. the bbc has asked the white house for clarification. president trump's spokesman, sean spicer, was challenged about the decision. reporter: are cnn and the new york times not in here because you're unhappy with their reporting? why are they not in here? because we had a pool and then we expanded it and we added some folks to come and cover it. it was my decision to expand the pool. reporter: the president said "we're going to do something about it" in reference to these stories that he is saying are false by the new york times, cnn and others.

what is he talking about? we're going to aggressively push back. we're just not going to sit back and let false narratives, false stories, inaccurate facts get out there. that was the white house press secretary. i spoke to steve gruber, a conservative talk show host, based in michigan, who's also worked in the past for the tv network, nbc. he's been telling me that he thinks the president has overstepped the mark. i think it goes too far and does not reflect well in the media and white house because both sides are entrenched and have deep—seated feelings about how to deal with each other and maybe it is time for the news media and heroin white house to have a summit. maybe —— to have —— for the white house news media to have a summit. when you looked at

publications like time magazine implying martin luther king had been removed from the oval office and cnn getting stories wrong about russian sanctions, the list goes on about stories that are inaccurate stock you can call them fake news but in fairness to the white house, this white house has been targeted, unlike the previous administration, that was basically a love affair with the media. barack obama and the media, there was a question asked of him, what is the most in chanting: to becoming president? i don't find that to be an honest question from the media. i think it is clear... there is bias in the news media. the media. i think it is clear... there is bias in the news mediam is not debatable. surely a president should be able to be strong enough to withstand whatever criticism comes his or her way? i don't disagree. i would say often donald trump gets in his own way. a man who has been anti—semitic, today, he

might be the next leader of the democratic party. that should be the story of the day but we are talking about this because donald trump and his administration have made this the headline in america and a p pa re ntly the headline in america and apparently the world. donald trump would serve himself better by not getting in his own way, that is true. steve gruber, a conservative talk—show host. five teenagers from london have appeared at westminster magistrates' court today charged with terror—related offences. the boys, aged between 15 and 19, were arrested earlier this week after a series of raids across the capital by the metropolitan police's counter—terrorism unit. three men have appeared in court on slavery charges after the discovery of a cannabis factory at a disused nuclear bunker in wiltshire. a police raid found cannabis worth around a million pounds. andrew plant reports. police raided the bunker on wednesday night, acting, they said, on a tip—off. inside they found 20 large rooms kitted out with equipment to help

injured a man who drove his car into pedestrians gathered in a city square. 0ne pedestrian is reported to be seriously hurt. this amateur video was taken after the man's arrests. the driver of the car, armed with a knife, fled, but was tracked down by the police. police say they do not suspect any terrorist motive. the man was seriously injured and is being treated in hospital in heidelberg. iraqi forces have entered parts of western mosul in what is expected to be an arduous and dangerous battle to remove so called iraqi forces have entered parts of western mosul in what is expected to be an arduous and dangerous battle to remove so called islamic state from iraq's second largest city. wyre davies reports from an advanced iraqi military base where american troops and advisers are proving to be a key part of the mosul offensive. this woman is a victim of islamic state's latest tactic in its desperate bid to avoid defeat in mosul. the 55—year—old mother of seven

from the eastern part of the city was hit in a drone strike. her leg shattered. "i was lying on the ground and people were pointing to the sky from where the bomb came", she told me. one of dozens of drone attack victims they've treated at this hospital. this is pretty new for this conflict, but also for conflicts all over the world. these mortars can be very effective and the impact on the population really, really brutal. this is video eulogises the use of commercially available drones to drop bombs and grenades. an organisation which governs according to brutal feudal codes adapting modern technology to lethal effect. drones are yet another threat for government troops now pursuing fighters from so—called islamic state into the narrow streets of mosul. after days of fierce clashes on the edge of the

city. but from a field just to the south, big american guns are helping to sway the battle perhaps decisively in the government's favour. this is an overwhelmingly iraqi military operation but the role of american advisers and troops, so—called boots on the ground, is also critical. us artillery pieces pounding targets in mosul. american commanders are reluctant to divulge too many sensitive details, but say us military support will be decisive. the fight in western mosul would be a tough fight for really any army in the world. so the iraqi army, the iraqi federal police, again will face a tough fight. it will be a lot of house—to—house fighting. the enemy is cornered. they don't have any choice. but to fight. a kurdish reporter, shifa gardi was killed today covering the government advance into mosul. a handful of refugees fled in the opposite direction but there are an estimated

war is inevitable now. it's a comedy about hull, penned by a writer from hull. so where else to stage the royal shakespeare compa ny‘s new play than in the city? the english civil war starts now. who then makes the first advance? since january, the cast of the hypocrite have been rehearsing in a disused church in hull. including the stars — caroline quentin and mark addy. for people who don't know, it is all about the beginning of the civil war, which happened in hull. beverley gate is the kind of centre point of that moment. the play is frantic, funny and there's a lot of us in it. for those of us who come from a time when it is too expensive to have a lot of people on stage, normally involved with five handers and things, it's really exciting to be on with that many folk. the play is by hull—born

writer richard bean, who spent more than two years researching the real life of his lead character. there is sirjohn. the play focuses on 1642, when sirjohn shut hull's city gates on the king and sparked the start of the civil war. when i started reading these original papers, it is like reading a french farce. that final thing when the governor of the town is running... i'm not going to say benny hill... i could see you were thinking benny hill. it has taken the technical team a whole week to build the set ready for the show. it's now two days until opening night and everyone is heading to the stage for technical rehearsals. it is the last chance for everyone to practise the trickiest bits of the play until they are perfect. as the lead, actor mark addy, is in most of the three—hour show, so rehearsals have been gruelling.

with hull being the city of culture 2017, to be involved is one 2017, to be involved in one of the opening shows of that year is terrific. i do sometimes think, am i too old for this? but no, we are getting there. it will be... it is one of those... it is a gift of a show. the play is the fastest—selling show in hull truck theatre's history. and probably the most eagerly awaited. it is the biggest weekend in the movie industry with la la land expected to win oscars. it is oscars weekend and the red carpet has been rolled out to signal the start of the 89th academy awards. millions of people around the world will tune in to see if la la land sweeps the board.

the musical about two la dreamers is nominated in 1a categories and is expected to come away with a raft of major prizes. but politics is expected to loom large this year. on friday, a demonstration took place in support of immigrant rights, where the crowd was addressed by the actors michaelj fox and jodie foster. there are people giving up everything. they have lost everything they have and are struggling to keep their families alive and to keep food in their mouths and keep diseases away from their bodies, and taking tremendous risks to get here, to get to this country, and then we... we say no? it is our time to tell our elected officials to do theirjob. that we will not tolerate chaos, ineptitude and warmongering.

there is also expected to be a political mist to be a political mood surrounding the event, with many anticipating acceptance speeches with an anti—trump message. sunday's ceremony is sure to have the glitz and glamour you would expect, but this year look out for more political digs than usual. nothing beats a trip to the cinema as the best way to see the latest films. but a family outing can get quite pricey. now a young entrepreneur from croydon has come up with a new idea to fix that. she's converted a bus into a cinema to screen films to children in deprived areas. caroline davies went to have a look. it doesn't look like a normal bus, does it? and it isn't. this is the movie mobile. any parent knows just

how expensive it is. i live on a housing estate. i thought, wouldn't it be great if a cinema rocked up? using funding from croydon council and a start—up loan, kerry kitted out an old bus, even down to a popcorn machine. this is the bus's first school group. it's so exciting. i like eating popcorn. i like watching the video. it's really cool. it is amazing. it is exactly what i've been waiting for. it is just incredible. i am overwhelmed, actually, seeing them jumping around. it's perfect. the aim is to reach children whose families might not be able to afford to take them to the cinema. she plans to fund it by renting the bus to corporate companies, or for private parties. i think it can open up their imagination, it can inspire them, it can educate them. nothing can beat the magic of the cinema. it's just one bus now, but kerry has plans to turn it into a fleet,

so this could be coming to a street near you soon. glad they enjoyed it. let's see what the weather is doing. we have breaking news on the weather front and storm euan is due to arrive tomorrow. it has been named by the irish met service. we have wet and windy weather across england and wales. movie eastwards. by the end of the night i think it will have cleared. breaks in the cloud but the leading edge of storm euan pushing it. this first area of wind and rain is not up to too much in terms of
