we'll have more throughout the evening. a labour party official who suggested thatjewish a labour party official who suggested that jewish trump a labour party official who suggested thatjewish trump fanatics we re suggested thatjewish trump fanatics were behind accusations of anti—semitism in labour ranks has been re—elected to the party's ruling body. peter willsman was criticised when a recording of his remarks and merged injuly. he is one of nine people elected to labour's executive committee. he was confronted by a journalist who asked him to explain those remarks. are you going to stand down from your candidacy for the nec? do you plan to withdraw as a candidate?
6:53 pm
peter willsman, will you talk to us about your comments? hang on. do you plan to stand down as a candidate from the nec. tom watson says he is disgusted by you. do you have anything to say to tom watson, peter willsman? why are you walking away? why won't you speak to us? so he has been re—elected and jenny manson is co—chair of the voice by labour. we have something called democracy in the labour party these days. people can vote for who they wa nted days. people can vote for who they wanted to. ifjeremy corbyn and the labour leadership by going to be lame for one members decided to do for a start, i would object to that. on peter himself, that interview we heard a bit of, reminds me of a lot
6:54 pm
of the bullying that has been going on people who has made stupid abstainers. he did nothing anti—semitic, it was a selective recording that was transmitted to many people. i have heard the whole recording and he was talking about some members of thejewish community supporting trump. i think he was talking about the ex—president of the board of deputies who did get into trouble for making an approach from comment. he said of anti—semitism in the party? from comment. he said of anti-semitism in the party? he said, had people here witnessed anti—semitism? this is asked of me a lot and i am challenged because i said in my 50 years in the labour party i have never heard it at a labour party meeting. i have heard of it, i no evidence of it and some of it, i no evidence of it and some of it, i no evidence of it and some of it is not attributable to a labour party member, but i have not experienced it. ithink labour party member, but i have not experienced it. i think that is what he said to other people in a clumsy,
6:55 pm
bull ina he said to other people in a clumsy, bull in a china shop way. a lot of people withdrew their backing for him at that point? they did, i will not necessarily criticise them but it is interesting that members have not got along with what momentum recommended. there are so many wings and movements of the labour party at the moment which makes it dammed if you do, dammed if you don't. there isa you do, dammed if you don't. there is a new demon in the story every day. if you support them, you are anti—semitic and if you oppose them you are weakened and giving into the bullying. can i get some reaction what progress has said, the ce ntreleft what progress has said, the centreleft movement. the real action peter willsman shows institutional anti—semitism in the party and the need for action, however with mr willsman at the top table, that is less likely to happen. let's do the second thing first, there has been
6:56 pm
enormous action. no other political party and there is no evidence by the way that labour has any more anti—semitism than any other party, no other party has had a report, no other party, as far as i know has set upa other party, as far as i know has set up a separate disciplinary unit just to deal with anti—semitism. no other party has put so many people through the process of being investigated. then the other part of the question about whether having peter willsman in control in some way is going to make things go backwards, i mean he is only one of many members on the nec. this is an extremely dangerous kind of comment to make. i am extremely dangerous kind of comment to make. iam not sure extremely dangerous kind of comment to make. i am not sure what it means but presumably it means it permeates the whole labour party? there is no evidence of that. ijust the whole labour party? there is no evidence of that. i just want to get one more clarification, there will
6:57 pm
be this vote tomorrow by the nec on whether to adopt him for the international holocaust remembrance alliances anti—semitism guidelines, do you want that to happen now?|j alliances anti—semitism guidelines, do you want that to happen now? i am very uncomfortable with the guidelines, they have been raised as a biblical status. they were ditched by the person who wrote them. but if the labour party decides they have two adopt the whole definition as guidelines, there must then be protection for palestinians and others to criticise israel, as they would criticise any other country. at the moment they closed down israeli universities and it had a terrible effect on free speech in israel. thank you for coming on. let's check on the weather forecast. let's look at the weather for the next 2a hours. things are going
6:58 pm
downhill across the uk. it is going to turn cooler through this week and there is a chance of rain i think almost all of us at some point or another will see thickening cloud and possibly outbreaks of rain. as far as the satellite image is concerned, quite a lot of cloud. it gives us an indication the jet strea m gives us an indication the jet stream will be swinging in across the atlantic, sending these weather systems towards us. things will be cooling off. let's look at the short term. rain across the north—east of england here. for most of us, this coming night it is going to be dry and quitea coming night it is going to be dry and quite a temperature contrast between the north and the south of the country. in the south—east of the country. in the south—east of the country. in the south—east of the country we have the remnants of the country we have the remnants of the warmer weather so maybe 13 overnight. six or seven in the north of scotla nd overnight. six or seven in the north of scotland on the need to clear skies and tomorrow, one thing you might notice is there will be so little wind it will be very calm.
6:59 pm
any clouds stuck across the uk may hang around in the same place for much of the afternoon. the thinking is from yorkshire into linkage, the midlands on further south, could be pretty overcast. for scotland and northern ireland, apart from the odd shower i think it will be bright, 16 degrees and in london around about 22. difficult to summarise the next few days exactly but i think suffice to say it is going to be fairly cloudy. some others will be brollies and look at those temperatures dipping away down to the high teens. change is on the way. you're watching beyond 100 days.

summer is over for british politicians who are full of sound and fury but nothing much in the way of progress on brexit. spare a thought for theresa may — dealing with the eu may be a whole lot easier than dealing with some in her own party. borisjohnson is no longer the country's number—one diplomat but his newspaper opinion piece today suggests he's still the pm's number one headache. on capitol hill they're gearing up for a fight as well over the man mr trump wants as the next supreme courtjudge. also on the programme.... two reuters journalists are sentenced to seven years in myanmar charged with breaching the official secrets act when they were reporting on the slaughter of the rohingya people. and we take a look at some of the more unusual ways governments
