we're doing great here, thank you very much. i'm looking forward to my speech today. jeremy corbyn insists he won't give up the struggle. do you have a solution to labour's problems? we are campaigning for a just and fair society. he said his party's defeat at the hands of the conservatives in copeland underlined the scale of the task ahead and he urged his party to stand together to turn back the tory tide. the result in copeland was deeply disappointing, and of course, i take my share of responsibility for it. we have not done enough yet to rebuild trust with the people who have been ripped off and sold out for decades and do not always feel that labour represents them. but now is not the time to retreat, to run away or to give up. labour in scotland is already battling to recover after losing all but one of its mps at the last election. the party's scottish leader echoed mr corbyn‘s call for unity but had an ominous warning on the problems they must confront. in many respects what is happening

in the north—east of england is what happened to the scottish labour party two years ago. we were the canary down the mine so to speak, in terms of losing the faith of working—class communities across the country. jeremy corbyn insists he has a huge mandate from his party but labour's former deputy leader says his task is to get a mandate from the people in a general election. you cannot be saying the public have got it wrong, you cannot be saying mps have got it wrong. the buck stops with you, and you have to take responsibility for making it right, not getting it wrong and then blaming other people, whether it is the media or anybody else. there is little appetite within the party for another leadership contest, despite all the problems. he was elected democratically, you need to get behind your leader. he has got a mission to make labour electable in the united kingdom. our next test is the scottish local government elections. i would have liked him to have indicated more how we are to help the country to vote labour again.

jeremy corbyn says he's putting all his energy into leading his party. his critics fear that may not be enough. and carole walker is with me now. no wind of mr corbyn‘s apparent troubles but he is determined to carry on, he says? the message is very clear that he will be stepping up very clear that he will be stepping up those campaigns on things like jobs, the nhs, on tackling inequality. and that he does accept some share for the responsibility of that historic defeat in copeland, but he insisting he has this mandate from the party, he has been re—elected with a bigger majority than before, and he will stay on and fight. you got a sense today that he's getting a little bit

exasperated with all the questions about his leadership having repeated the message time and time again and that showed a bit when he faced repeated questions about it earlier on. i am carrying on as leader because i am determined that we will deliver socialjustice in this country. we will end the misery of people sleeping on our streets and children growing up in disgusting and disgraceful poverty, and growing levels of inequality promoted by a tory government. 50 levels of inequality promoted by a tory government. so you will be leader in 2020? i have given you a very clear answer, yes! he could not put it more clearly than he did there. although there are no moves to unseat him, no moves to challenge him, his critics in westminster feel if they have tried that —— they have tried that and if they tried it again he would probably be re—elected in a stronger position. i think there is a sense of growing despair amongst some of them at

least that under his leadership the position seems to be getting worse and worse. i think if that is reflected in more bad results at the elections in may, then i think we're just going to see these questions coming back again. thank you. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages, at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are by the journalist, james rampton and martin bentham, home affairs editor at the london evening standard. the new independent reviewer of terrorism 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 were "an enormous risk." the home secretary said she agreed with the threat assessment. here's our security correspondent frank gardner. farfrom far from britain's shores, farfrom britain's shores, the battle for mosul intensifies. but as

iraqi forces close in on so—called islamic state, so the risk increases that british and otherjihadists will try to come back to europe, brutalised and bent on revenge. a new terror watchdog - brutalised and bent on revenge. a new terror watchdeg - warned brutalised and bent on revenge. a nev intensitvztchdeg - warned brutalised and bent on revenge. a nev intensit§% warr the = the sad fact is that the threat in this country, represented by what we now know it as daesh or so—called islamic state, is high, is continuing and is not going to abate. max hill says the terror threat today is at least as great as it was to london during the ira bombing campaign in the 1970s. yet the situation is not the same. the uk terror threat has prompted a major rethink on how britain's cities are protected. the police have been up guns and surveillance increased. but the threat from is today differs from that of the ira in several ways. the jihadi today differs from that of the ira in several ways. thejihadi is given no warning. they aim for maximum

civilian casualties, and they are prepared to take their own lives.|j think the nature of the threat and the tempo the public have seen is very different. if we think back to the 1970s and the ira threat, you saw a terror threat expressing itself fairly frequently with bombs going off and bomb scares with actual devices. nowadays, the public have not seen a terror plot on a grand scale be as destructive for some time, so from the public perspective the threat looks much smaller. but from the security perspective the tempo is much higher. today, much of the fight on terrorism is waged online out of public view. terrorists use the internet to spread propaganda and communicate. the government tries to stop there in encrypted messages to stop there in encrypted messages to stop there in encrypted messages to stop the next attack. so visual security like these counterterrorism police officers is one small part of a complex government machine, trying to make britain a hard target for terrorists. let's speak to chris phillips,

who is former head of the national counter terrorism security office. good evening to you. presumably, i assume you accept and agree with the warning is being given about this threat level, but it does sound extremely serious? it is extremely serious but it has been like that for some time now. it is interesting, whenever a new person comes into a role, such as max has done right now, he gets to look at the threat picture and sees what has been going on over the past two, three, four years, and looks at the nature of the types of attack which have been planned, and it is quite scary. what to make about how the threat has been handled so far? scary. what to make about how the threat has been handled so far7m has been handled extremely well. you have seen what has happened across

the channel in germany, france and belgium, where they were less prepared for these type of attacks. the whole point of this is, what has been said about northern ireland and the irish terrorism style, that was never aimed mass casualties. it was something that was going on. there we re something that was going on. there were attacks happening more or less ona were attacks happening more or less on a weekly basis at some point, but they were not trying to kill lots and lots of people. this terror threat is different. if we do have an attack it will be far greater and far worse. it is the old story that the security services need to be lucky all the time and our enemies only have to be lucky once. absolutely. 0ne attack is a disaster for the uk. we still talk about terror attacks 15 or 20 years ago. we must not get over excited by this. the security services are doing well. the legislators need to doing well. the legislators need to do some work to make sure the security services and police have

the tools to do the job. the big issue now we have to face is there are an enormous number of people in the uk now who are interested in being terrorists or have terrorist affiliations or are likely to become terrorists in the future but have not yet committed any offences. what with those people? what we do with the people who might turn themselves into terrorists in the future. control orders have not worked. they have not worked and even though in other countries they are looking at doing something similar, it similar, it is an absolute headache for the police and we have not got enough police and we have not got enough police and we have not got enough police and security services to monitor all of those people. indeed. is it possible to put numbers on the extent of the problem, how many people should be followed if it was possible? this is the difficult point. it is in the thousands of people. 400, 500 people we know have come back from syria. people who

have been fighting for isis in syria have been fighting for isis in syria have come back to the uk. we have lots of other people, and people forget we have people being released from prison ‘s who have been convicted of terrorist attacks and they have come out again and they have not been the radicalised. all of these people need to be followed and someone within the police security services have to make decisions about where they put their resources . decisions about where they put their resources. they cannot follow eve ryo ne resources. they cannot follow everyone and it is a risk—based decision, and a risk—based decision we know can sometimes be wrong. and presumably advances in technology help our side of things but probably help our side of things but probably help the other side as well? that is a major difference as well from the ira threat. they did not have the ability to talk to each other in com plete ability to talk to each other in complete freedom like terrorists have got these days. and of course, this is a worldwide problem, it is not just the uk. this is a worldwide problem, it is notjust the uk. it is problems

which can be directed from the other side of the world through communication methods which are very difficult to monitor by the security services. there is a whole host of problems but the most important thing is we give the police and security services resources to protect us. one attack is far too many. thank you. 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 take a look at some iconic moments. the president of the united states. to the president of the united states. say what you will about mr

trump he will certainly bring some change to the white house. let's see what we've got up there. laughter what a fantastic audience we have tonight. washington power brokers, celebrities, hollywood stars, ozzy osborne. that was a slap in the face. party with the animals, sabbath bloody sabbath, face in hell. it has been an honour to serve and find a laugh. ozzy, your mum loves her staff. i have to back row more words to say, balmer out. ——

obama out. with me is dr gina yannitell reinhardt from the department of government at the university of essex. good evening to you. good evening. mrtrump may good evening to you. good evening. mr trump may decline the invitation, he is entitled to do that, maybe he does not feel it is a good way to spend an evening wasting his time. he is definitely making a statement with this. he certainly does not have to attend. given that all the presidents have been invited and have attended, except for a extraordinary circumstances, this is a statement that he does not want to have allegiances or alliances with the media. he is not looking to reconcile. do think he is also not sure of the reception he will get? perhaps he will not like appearing in front of this crowd?” perhaps he will not like appearing in front of this crowd? i definitely think that. the behaviour he has chosen makes him look petty that rather than being upstanding or

conciliatory. but the sort of people who have voted for donald trump will they i understand this because the media have been, as they see it, getting at him constantly? yes, and he has been saying over and over that the media is lying and full of untruths. that means that his supporters will support him and they will think this is the right decision. why would he go and have a fa ncy decision. why would he go and have a fancy dinner with people he doesn't trust? indeed. where do you think this whole business is going from here, do you think there is any sign at all but the president's side and the media might have some accommodation in the future?|j the media might have some accommodation in the future? i don't see that personally. when the media comes up see that personally. when the media comes up with news he doesn't like he simply says it is alive. when they come up with sources to back it up, he they come up with sources to back it esimply they come up with sources to back it m ys they come up with sources to back it up, he simply says they made up the sources. he is attacking the very root of journalism sources. he is attacking the very root ofjournalism and journalistic integrity. as long as there is news to report about him which is not

favourable to him, it does not seem as if he will play along. does it matter in the long—term? the media are there and some people will believe it, some will not. some will ta ke believe it, some will not. some will take it as properjournalism, in the end it doesn't count, does it? take it as properjournalism, in the end it doesn't count, does mm depends what you want it to count for. i think if the media'sjob is to expose and investigate things that people might not want investigated about themselves, then the ability to do that is going to be compromised, as soon as the journalists are kicked out of the room, and as soon as a quarter of the country stops believing it is true. the president has found his own way of communicating, tweets and so on. he stood up at a rally in florida last weekend. he is not short of communicating what he wa nts. short of communicating what he wants. he is not at all. because of that it seems he is so threatened by the media but it seems to be a personal thing for him. he takes it

personally. he seems to get his feelings hurt. he simply denigrates and denies that anything the media is saying is worthwhile. thank you. tributes have come in from across the film and tv world for the american actor bill paxton, who has died at the age of 61. he was best known for his role in the science fiction classic, aliens — and starred in hollywood blockbusters such as apollo 13, titanic and twister. he died after complications following an operation. the headlines on bbc news: jeremy corbyn, has urged his party to "stand together" after last week's defeat to the conservatives in the copeland by—election. the home secretary has said said she agrees with a warning 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." the family of a five—year—old girl

who died of an asthma attack — after her gp refused to see her — have called for a criminal inquiry. ellie—may clark and her mother were turned away from their surgery in newport after arriving less than ten minutes late for an emergency appointment. ellie's condition worsened and she died in hospitalfive hours later. our wales today correspondent nick palit has this report. memories of happier times. these photos are all randy clark as to remember her granddaughter ellie—may who died of an asthma attack. her mum brought her for a who died of an asthma attack. her mum brought herfor a gp appointment after she was sent home from school because teachers were concerned about her breathing. but she was

late. she needed a lift because she was not driving at the time. and she was not driving at the time. and she was literally four minutes late because she checked her phone and they would not see her. and you believe that decision cost ellie—may her life? yes, because she did get worse. she phoned an ambulance and while the ambulance was on its way, she collapsed. she did not wake up. ellie—may died that night before an ambulance could get her to hospital. that was two years ago. now the aneurin bevan health board has carried out a report into doctor joanna row at the clinic and confirmed ellie—may had a history of asthma which the doctor was aware of. the report says doctor rowe refused to see the child because she was late for the appointment.

what would you like to happen to the doctor concerned? she should be struck off. at least if she said sorry, that would be something. but the doctor continues to practice. she has a warning which will stay on her record for five years. it says: your failure her record for five years. it says: yourfailure to her record for five years. it says: your failure to see and assess this child does not meet the standards required of the doctor. it risks bringing the profession into disrepute and it must not be repeated. an inquest has yet to be held. herfamily repeated. an inquest has yet to be held. her family have vowed to fight on to getjustice for ellie—may and says she will be forever in their thoughts. a funny little girl, bright, very intelligent. so funny and loving. britain's four—time olympic champion sir mo farah has insisted he is a "clean athlete who has never broken the rules" after allegations in a leaked report that his coach may have broken rules against boosting athletes' performance. alberto 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 had that story and he reports now. can there be a one—two for the salazar group? it looks like it as mo farah takes gold for great britain. he's the coach and mastermind behind britain's sir mo farah and his four olympic gold medals. but alberto salazar and his nike oregon project has been under investigation by the us anti—doping agency, or usada, since a bbc panorama programme in 2015 revealed claims of doping and unethical practices. high—profile us athletes kara goucher and her husband adam made a series of allegations against their former coach. he's sort of a win at all costs person. it is hurting the sport. today, the first glimpse of usada's findings. an interim report by the agency has been leaked by the russian hacking

group fancy bears 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 50 millilitres, untested and potentially unlawful medical procedures and medications. and the report states that mo farah's alleged use of an infusion in 2014 remains under investigation. usada said it could: usada continues to investigate but serious questions now for uk athletics, who were, according to this 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. farah has released a statement saying, "it's deeply frustrating that i'm having to make an announcement on this subject. i am a clean athlete who has never broken the rules in regards to substances, methods or dosages". he said it was clear from the coverage it done nothing from the coverage he'd done nothing wrong and that if usada had evidence of wrongdoing, to publish it. but questions will persist over fa rah's continuing loyalty to a controversial coach the doping authorities seem so determined to pursue. mark daly, bbc news. the glamour of hollywood will turn out in the next few hours for the 89th academy awards. the film la la land is the hot favourite for oscar glory, with 14 nominations. british hopefuls include andrew garfield and naomie harris. our arts editor will gompertz reports. there is more than one

side to the oscars. yes, there is the frivolous showbizzy side of the things, the over—the—top—ness of the red carpet and the million—dollar after—party with its lavish spread of food. what is the most extraordinary request you have ever had at this party for food? well, one of our guests, he loved the baked potato with caviar so much, he came into the kitchen and said, "where is the caviar?" i showed him the tin, he took his spoon and ate the caviar with the spoon. who was that? it was brad pitt. it might be the stars that shine on oscar night, but the craft categories reveal a different side to the business. filmmaking is at heart a cottage industry, as demonstrated by these two brothers from london who are up against each other in the visual effects category. there are four brothers that do the special effects, and my sister runs my company. i have got two sons that work for me

and two daughters. i have got three daughters that work for me and my son as well. there's more up—and—coming talent. we've got the next generation and probably the generation after that sorted out. so you're just going to have oscars for decades, are you? yeah, yeah, i hope so. then there is the serious side. great films, award—winning films, should tell stories that matter, that reflect their time. i am very encouraged, because i do think the diversity of the lineup this year reflects the industry i work in, and the world i live in. the biggest thing for me is people back home see the the stuff happening to moonlight, and they think that things are possible, that the ceiling on what a kid who grew up where i grew up, that the ceiling is raising. in here? richard. what are you doing in bed with that woman? i'm his wife. that is no good here. this year's oscars feel a little different, more politically charged, more diverse, more connected,

but then, they will always be in la la land. will gompertz, bbc news, los angeles. with me is karen krissanovich, a film journalist who has worked on scripts for a string of hollywood movies. good evening. we have to start with la la land. 14 nominations, a heck ofa la la land. 14 nominations, a heck of a lot. some people say it is not worth it. what do you think? we need something right now to make us feel good. it is not a classic but it is embraced because the music is wonderful, the visuals are wonderful and we love the story. isn't there something about hyping a particular movie? hollywood does this every few yea rs. movie? hollywood does this every few years. they find on film and eve ryo ne years. they find on film and everyonejumps years. they find on film and everyone jumps aboard. years. they find on film and everyonejumps aboard. it years. they find on film and everyone jumps aboard. it is cyclical. politics does show how people want their entertainment and

something to take away their troubles. la la land is about los angeles, it means it is a fantasy! there is ryan gosling waltzing away on the pier. let's talk about some of the others. naomie harris is mentioned and she is in moonlight. to story we have not seen before, the story of a gay black man and how he comes to that destination for himself. it is tenderly done, beautifully shot and it is a really interesting film and it has captured a couple of awards and it is unique and we are so happy. most of the critics are very pleased it has gotten this kind of attention. let's talk about another mainstream movie, i guess, but not one which will make us i guess, but not one which will make us smile very much. it is

manchester—by—the—sea. it is something which people find hard to explain. casey affleck plays a man who is living far away from his family and when a family tragedy strikes he has to move back relu cta ntly. strikes he has to move back reluctantly. he seems to be living this horrible caretaker life and the movie explains why. it is a shocker. it is opposite to la la land. the performances are amazing, particularly michelle williams who is upfor particularly michelle williams who is up for best supporting actor. casey affleck turns in a remarkable turn in this beautiful and realistic film. ok, we could go through the list but i think we should talk about fences, the denzel washington movie. and viola davis. for those who do not know what it is about, just remind us. it is an african american couple who are going through hard times. he says he is suffering and she says i am

suffering and she says i am suffering right with you. it is very stagey and theatrical but the performances are very strong. it is the oscars addressing diversity issues to make movies more like the real world. and do you think there are signs now, mind you, denzel washington is a hollywood staple. he isa washington is a hollywood staple. he is a big star. but are we seeing a move away from the old traditional hollywood blockbusters always doing the big business and the oscars ceremony recognising that?” the big business and the oscars ceremony recognising that? i think there is a move now not only to get a better audience and a wide audience. hollywood needs to keep changing its audience to the population. so there is that, but also telling more stories which people can relate to. that also gives us fresh glances. he didn't figures for example as a movie which needed to be made. it is
