preparations are almost complete as hollywood prepares for the biggest night in film, the oscars. la la land is expected to the big winner, with m nominations, including best picture and best director. and a chance to catch the highlights from westminster at 2:30pm. good afternoon. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, is to deliver a rallying call to his party after last week's defeat in the copeland by—election. he'll say that, despite the scale of the task, "now is not the time to retreat,

run away or give up". mr corbyn was giving a keynote speech to the scottish labour party in perth. here's our political correspondent, tom barton. his report contains flash photography. do you still think you are the man to rebuild labour? jeremy corbyn arriving at labour's scottish conference in perth this morning. we are campaigning for a just and fair society. preparing for his first major speech since the party's historic defeat in the copeland by—election last week. ahead of that speech, in an article in the sunday mirror, jeremy corbyn wrote: but he also makes it clear he is not planning on going anywhere. he said: "i was re—elected labour leaderfive months ago,

with a bigger majority, and i am determined to finish the job." friday's by—election results saw labour hold the seat of stoke—on—trent central, but the loss in copeland, for the first time in 80 years, has led some to question whether labour can win a general election. those loyal tojeremy corbyn say constant questions about his leadership are hurting the party. one of the issues that people are not voting for us is because they see a divided party. in the last 20 months, half of them have been leadership elections. people are quite rightfully saying, it is not about a leadership election, it is about is coming together, listening to people, developing the policies, but also making sure those policies are communicated in words that people fully appreciated. in scotland, where labour was once dominant, but now faces a massive task to overturn the snp, delegates at the party's conference today, backed the party's leader. a lot of people have come back

to labour since he became leader. it has not been a great week for us, but we will go forward from that. in his speech this afternoon, jeremy corbyn will say the result in copeland shows the scale of the challenge facing labour. but, he will also try to inject the party with some confidence, saying now is not the time to retreat, to run away, or to give up. tom barton, bbc news. tom joins me now. that speech has just ended a short while ago. give us just ended a short while ago. give us your analysis of what he had to say, and was there any fundamental difference in his tone, compared to friday morning in the wake of the copeland result? of course, the context for this speech is exactly that, disappointing, devastating result for labour in the copeland by—election. it is a seat they have

held for more than eight decades, in between two general elections they would have absolutely expected not just to hold it, but to increase their majority, so to lose it to the conservatives was very bad news for the labour party, and forjeremy corbyn. in today's speech, he acknowledged that this does show problems, but also laid out a rallying call to the party, nationally as well as in scotland, about how they can deal with the problems facing labour. the result in copeland was deeply disappointing, and of course, i take my share of responsibility for it. we haven't done enough yet to rebuild trust with the people who've been ripped off and sold out for decades and don't always feel that labour represents them. but now is not the time to retreat, to run away or to give up. did keir hardie give up the fight? did clement attlee give up the fight? did the miners who fought for better pay and working conditions from the first days of the mining industry?

did the upper clyde shipbuilders, employees, the mill workers, and many more among the industrial working class that were relentlessly exploited in the workplace? no. they fought back, and won time and time again to make their lives and all the rest of us who came after them better. that's what we all have to do now, and that's what i will be doing. labour will be campaigning across britain for investment in decent jobs, homes, education for all. support for the national health service, social care and fair taxation. if we stand together, i'm confident that we can turn back the tory tide and reconnect labour with our working class voters and values. so, jeremy corbyn saying he is determined to stay in the job and

see this through, and some closest to him as saying that labour is becoming very unified around him and will go some way to dealing with worries facing the party, but there have been two challenges already. is there any sign that there is any appetite within the party for a third challenge? whites no there isn't. those people with concerns aboutjeremy isn't. those people with concerns about jeremy corbyn‘s isn't. those people with concerns aboutjeremy corbyn‘s leadership, and there are plenty of them, particularly in the parliamentary party, i think recognise that the last leadership election was only five months ago. john macdonald made a point earlier today that in the last 20 months there have been leadership election is going on for ten of them. actually, at that leadership election last year, jeremy corbyn extended his majority, so jeremy corbyn extended his majority, soi jeremy corbyn extended his majority, so i think there is a sense within even those who have concerns about his leadership, that it is just not worth pursuing that line and trying to unseat him because my frankly, they know that if they did, they

would lose. their concern is that if they don't do something, if they can't persuade jeremy they don't do something, if they can't persuadejeremy corbyn to change his style, that potentially the party could lose the next general election. in terms of reconnecting with the working people, which is what we have heard again today, what is labour going to do now to try to do that with this loss in copeland? well, i think the message from the party's leadership, and we have also heard from the shadow chancellor today, is that labour needs to reunite around the leadership. they see a significant factor, in certainly the loss in copeland, but also labour's poll ratings, for example. there is a significant factor in that in being this sense of disunity, the sense of sniping and complaining aboutjeremy corbyn‘s leadership, so that message

is put up a united front, even if you have concerns, and that is the point at which labour can start collecting and getting their message out to the electorate, and hopefully, from their perspective, doing well at future elections. thompson, thank you. britain's four—time olympic champion mo farah has insisted he is a "clean athlete who has never broken the rules." he issued a statement today after a leaked draft report by us anti doping authorities suggested that alberto salazar, mo farah's coach, may have broken the rules to boost the performance of some athletes. mr salazar has been under investigation since allegations about drugs use at his american training base were made by the bbc‘s panorama programme in 2015. mark daly reports. can it be a 1—2 for the better salazar group? it looks like it! he is the coach and mastermind behind mo farah and his gold medals. but salazar has been under investigation by the us anti—doping agency since a bbc panorama programme in 2015 revealed

claims of doping and unethical practises. two high—profile us athletes made a series of allegations against their former coach. he is a sort of "win at all costs" person. it is hurting the sport. today, the first glimpse of the findings, an interim report by the agency has been leaked by a russian hacking group and passed to the sunday times. the report alleges salazar used banned or unethical methods to boost performance, including infusions of supplements over the legal limit of 50mls, untested and potentially unlawful medical procedures and medications. farah's alleged use of an infusion in 2014 remains under investigation.

usada said it could confirm it has prepared a report in response to a subpoena from a state medical licensing body regarding care given by a physician to athletes associated with the nike 0regan project. serious questions for uk athletics who were according to the leaked report warned about salazar and his methods by one of their own doctors as far back as 2011. salazar maintains his athletes‘ use of medications has always fully complied with the world anti—doping code, and in exactly the way usada directed. in the last few minutes, mo farah has released a statement saying, "it is deeply frustrating that i am having to make an announcement on the subject. i am a keen athlete who has never broken the rules in regards to substances or dosages. "

he said it was clear he had done nothing wrong, and if there was evidence of wrongdoing, it should be published. questions will persist over mo farah's continuing loyalty to the controversial coach that the doping authorities seems so determined to pursue. mark daly, bbc news. the new independent reviewer of terror laws has warned that britain faces a level of threat not seen since the ira bombings of the 1970s. max hill told the sunday telegraph that plots by islamist extremists to attack uk cities were "an enormous risk." with me now is our correspondent, caroline hawley. just tell us in a bit more detail what he said? he is essentially under billy mack underlining the scale of the threat that the uk is facing from so—called islamic state, likening it to the threat from the ira during the 1970 yes my. he said there was a significant, ongoing risk, at least as great as that

thread in the 1970s when the ira was active. the sad fact is that the threat in this country, represented by what we now know as so—called islamic state, is high, is continuing, and is not going to abate. how to compare this decade with the 1970s is sometimes very difficult. of course they are very different threats posed by is and the ira at the time. i think the similarities he is referring to is the intensity of which sirius plots are now being planned. dash—macro sirius. that he talk about how is are being put under increasing pressure, for example the operation in mosul, whether that has an impact

on how is is operating in europe? he did not specifically refer to that, but as you say, is is in retreat on the battlefield in the middle east, in mosul in particular, and at the same time we have seen an increase in suicide bombings in iraq. we have seen europe attacked, such as the massacres in paris, and we know there is an intent to attack the uk. max hill is saying there is no room for complacency, and he is saying that the british intelligence services have had a truly remarkable success in foiling attacks since the july 2005 bombing. the main message is that there is no room for competency, there is an ongoing threat that cannot be ignored. thank you. police in malaysia have declared kuala lumpur airport, where the half brother of north korea's leader was killed with a nerve agent 12 days ago, to be safe. security officials carried out a detailed search of the terminal building for the presence of vx and other toxic chemicals, but found nothing.

the malaysian health minister also says he was happy with the autopsy report and attention is now focused on completing identification of the body. i think now we are more or less completed with the announcement by the chemistry department of the identification of the exact chemical which was involved. we have got the autopsy results. i think those results, along with these, will be submitted to the police. the whole aim of doing an autopsy is to identify the cause of death. that process has been done. 0urfindings are very much in line with the chemical which has been identified. it is very much in line. in fact, we suspected from the very outset that it is a form of organophosphorous poisoning because of certain biochemical changes we had identified earlier. that confirms our suspicions.

that part is settled. that information, the autopsy report will be given to the police for them to handle it with the cause of death which certifies what it was. the other challenge facing us is a positive identification of the body. that is the next process. of course, the best would be to have the next of kin, blood—related kin, where we can do dna profiling. the headlines on bbc news: jeremy corbyn has told the scottish labour conference in perth that now is not the time to give up, despite the party's defeat in the copeland by—election, urging the party to unite. the home secretary, amber rudd, has said she agrees with a warning given

by the new independent reviewer of terrorism legislation that islamic state militants pose as great a threat to britain as the ira did during the 1970s. sir mo farah says reports associating him with doping allegations are "deeply frustrating." that's after a leaked us report alleged that his coach, alberto salazar, gave some athletes higher than allowed doses of performance—enhancing substances. president trump has said he won't be attending this year's white house correspondents dinner. the news came in a tweet by donald trump — in another sign of worsening relations with the mainstream press. only three other leaders have missed the annual event, which has been going on for more than a century. let's get more on this — with me is the bbc presenter and former us editor, mark mardell. thank you for coming in to talk to

us thank you for coming in to talk to us about this. you have attended this dinner on more than one occasion, of course. tell us about what the dynamic usually is between a president and the media on this occasion? tummy and cosy, in a phrase. and that is the point. why is he making a big fuss about a dinner? but it is a huge event for the correspondence. for washington, there are pre—parties and after parties, all the big politicians, the big businesspeople, all the networks rivalling each other, tried to get film stars along, and the whole thing is the atmosphere, as well as being glamorous, it is one of yes, we take chunks out of each other during the working day, but he can sit down and joke about each other, have a laugh. they will be really offended by this snub. it will matter to a lot of people. talking about the motive, is this the tron administration basically trying to reinforce its fake news

agenda, saying the president does not think it is worth his time to attend this dinner? i think so. you could say he is being slightly petulant, and it is relatively likely that he generally does not likely that he generally does not like these people and generally does not want to have anything to do with them. and they feel rather uncomfortable sitting there, one assumes? that's right, and whether he has got that easy sense of humour that could cope with it, and make jokes about himself and about them. but i think the really important point is that this will play extremely well with his supporters. he says he went there to drain the swamp. he does not want to be seen alongside these people being friendly. they are the enemy of the people. what is the media response going to be to this, because this is a new low in nations, isn't it, between the us president and the

media? what will the response be?|j think media? what will the response be?” think there is an air of anxiety generally about how this develops. we saw the briefing that excluded some people, including the bbc, did the others not take part and say no, we have got to take a stand here, or is that cutting off their nose to spite theirface is that cutting off their nose to spite their face and not serving their audience properly? this will be seen as another development in what a lot of people are really worried about, that there seems to be... remember, the term "fake news" was quite to describe utterly false stories peddled by some people with an agenda. now donald trump is using it to describe stories he simply doesn't like. he's not even disputing certain facts, butjust saying i don't like it, so it is fa ke saying i don't like it, so it is fake news. he has established a moral equivalence between sheer lies and the press that he doesn't like. 0ther and the press that he doesn't like. other people around him also concerned that he might say

something which will become a story in itself, which could become a dramatic for him? is that the, this is an occasion for correspondence to grab is an occasion for correspondence to gmba is an occasion for correspondence to grab a story. yes, i think the idea would be, certainly 0bama was carefully choreographed and scripted at all events, and i would think he would do the same. it would be a worry if he suddenly sounded off. but it is interesting, the president does an address on radio every week which does not get much attention, and he did it on african—american history, and it was really carefully scripted, really down the middle. i think this is a battle, i guess, going on in the white house. how much do we let him be himself, which is really very appealing to a segment of america, and how much do we shut that down, script him, tell him to read from his autocue, and whether he will do that. thank you for your thoughts. five people have been injured, three critically, after being hit by a car in south east

london this morning. according to reports a car struck a wall and collided with the pedestrians. the driver of the vehicle has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. health officials have launched a campaign for what they called "a truly tobacco—free nhs". recent research shows just one in ten hospitals is enforcing a ban on smoking outside health service buildings — and public health england is urging all hospitals to offer patients help to quit. gerry jackson reports. more than a million smokers are admitted to nhs hospitals in the uk every year. many hospital trusts in england have already banned smoking, but it isn't always easy, and public health england says much more needs to be done to achieve a tobacco—free nhs. according to recent figures, one in four hospital patients in the uk are smokers. but just 28% are asked if they want help to stop, and only 7% are referred for treatment. public health england now wants

trusts to ban smoking in and outside all nhs buildings in england and all smokers to be offered help to quit. that might include prescriptions for nicotine replacements, or a referral to a stop smoking support service, but it also wants a senior clinician employed at every hospital to make sure it happens. if you get a service your chances of successfully quitting are four times what they would be, compared to if you tried a self attempt quit. so it goes from 5% to about 20%, which may sound modest, if you repeat this and people try again to quit, after several attempts there's a much greater chance of success. smoking is already banned by law across hospitals in northern ireland and in scotland and wales they are preparing to bring in legislation later this year. the department of health in england says it has no plans to make it illegal at the moment.

a £17 million investment for britain's artificial intelligence and robotics industries has been announced by the government. it's estimated that the sector could add billions of pounds to the uk economy by 2035, as our business correspondent joe lynam reports. there may well be a time when robots like this are accepted as part of our everyday life. as gentle as lambs, but able to do chores like babysitting, and with the strength for more ominous services. artificial intelligence used to be the preserve of science fiction, but ai is coming and the government thinks britain will be well—placed to benefit. artificial intelligence is when machines imitate human behaviour and where robots can be trained to take important decisions without being ordered to do so by humans. i'm a sophisticated combination of hardware and software... the department of culture, media and sport believes ai could be

worth an additional £651; billion to the uk economy within 20 years. before that, though, the government will spend £17 million on al research, including into surgical micro—robotics, as well as robots capable of operating within nuclear facilities. some may worry, though, that self—thinking computers could cause more harm than good. others say that this will happen anyway, and it's best that the uk economy benefits from it, rather than losing out. the 89th academy awards take place tonight, and there are a few british hopes with andrew garfield, naomie harris and dev patel all nominated. but it's the musical la la land which is tipped for the biggest success — it has 1a 0scar nominations. 0ur los angeles correspondent, james cook's report contains flash photography. # city of stars # are you shining

just for me? # hollywood's golden age refashioned for the 21st century. by turns dazzling and bittersweet, la la land has a record—equalling 1a 0scar nominations. we are standing right where i was sitting when ryan and emma drive up in the car. the woman responsible for the film's breathtaking choreography is now in last—minute rehearsals for tonight's academy awards. we are doing a medley of city of stars and audition. the fabulous john legend will be singing, which is really, really great. ryan and emma would have been great, butjohn legend is incredible. well, the big question in los angeles is, will the academy opt for the escapism of la la land or will it choose to confront one of the many serious subjects on offer in pretty much every other nominated film? there's manchester by the sea, a study in grief, which has six nominations. denzel washington directs and stars

in fences, in which a father struggles to bring up his family in a segregated america. it's not easy for me to admit that i've been standing in the same place for 18 years. i've been standing with you! go find your way over there. coloneljim is a tall... hidden figures also tackles racism and sexism — the true story of three women working at nasa has been a huge box—office hit. what happened ? why didn't you come home like you were supposed to? and then there is moonlight with its themes of neglect, drug addiction and sexuality, earning a nomination for britain's naomie harris. really great art reflects society and edifies us and shows us a different way of operating and so i definitely think that it's going to be a very political year at the oscars. and so we approach the oscars amid talk of politics and protest. in some ways, the world of entertainment has never felt so serious. james cook, bbc news, in hollywood.
