rapper matt miller has died after an apparent drug overdose. —— mac. and at 11:30pm will be taking an in—depth look at the papers. we are, in which the shadow chancellorjohn macdonald said were unacceptable. the rubber and different schools of thought in the party and the accusation is that things have come to such a head the jeremy corbyn polls supporters are trying to oust some of his critics, some elements of the left wing of the party are trying to get rid of some of the more centre—left mps. that is the accusation. it is an say the leadership is trying to orchestrate it but what he has said his then need to do something to stop it, in his words, to call off the dogs. this is what the mourners had earlier. already centre-left mps are being systematically targeted with motions against them in their

local parties, motions brought against them first ending up with the ce ntre—left against them first ending up with the centre—left values. my message to our leadership is clear that it is within your power to stop this. so call off the dogs. meanwhile, the shadow chancellor is our trying to get his message across. yet having to deal with these... this infighting, these divisions, which he sees as the destruction. he has been highly critical of the claims by chuka umanna and says there was no conspiracy to try to purge the party of certain group of mps and has just missed it out of hand and in fact said chuka umanna should stop throwing himself in front of the tv cameras and focus on campaigning to get labour elected. this is whatjohn mcdonnell had to say in response to chuka umanna early. stop throwing yourself in front of tv cameras inventing stories and get out there and start campaigning fora labour stories and get out there and start campaigning for a labour government. unite with the rest of the party because what we want is a labour government as soon because what we want is a labour government as soon as because what we want is a labour government as soon as possible. right the way across the country

there are 5000 people sleeping rough,1 there are 5000 people sleeping rough, 1 million people without social care, the nhs in crisis, people below low— paid wages social care, the nhs in crisis, people below low—paid wages below what they were in 2008 other issues we are dealing with, not internal disputes he is trying to invent all referring to a party members as dogs. unacceptable. this exchange comes at the end of what has been quite a torrid week the layby. we have the intervention, unwelcome really, by some by tony blair so where do they go now? this is the question. these latest claims from chuka umanna were prompted in part by the fact that three labour mps have their local parties carry out a no—confidence vote and they lost them. it is little to worry that they are going to face some sort of deselection. as things stand and symbolic but the party ‘s left—wing group are meant is trying to get the rules changed to make it easier to challenge sitting mps. the group says it is all about being

democratic and increasing scrutiny, there is no conspiracy to get rid of certain types of mps but there are serious concerns and all of this is going to come to a head when the party meets roots conference later this month. syrian and russian warplanes have stepped up their onslaught, on syria's rebel—held province of idlib. the heaviest bombing in weeks is expected to lead to an all—out ground offensive by government forces. the united nations is warning that would lead to a new humanitarian crisis in the region. idlib is the last major rebel stronghold in the north of syria. tens of thousands of civilians are trapped there and turkey is warning it can't cope with another flood of refugees across its border. our middle east correspondent yollande knell reports. today in the idlib countryside. the full—scale offensive here hasn't yet started, but these were powerful blasts. amazingly, those nearby survived.

activists say the bombing rebel bombings intensified. —— activists say the bombings intensified. syrian government helicopters dropping barrels packed with explosives. and after each strike, the white helmets civil defence rushing in, searching for survivors. with the fate of idlib hanging in the balance, its residents are taking to the streets. desperately calling for international intervention to prevent a deadly government offensive in this rebel held area. many syrians opposed to the regime fled to this province from other parts of the country, swelling its population to 3 million. and the un warned that any battle here would be horrific and bloody. though these rebel fighters are defiant, they look set to be massively outgunned. some are lined with turkey but in a confusing mix of shifting alliances,

much of the province is under the control of jihadist formally linked to al-qaeda. some residents fled into lieb early on in the war as refugees here in lebanon they can see the hills that lead to home and they worry about family left behind. translation: they are killing us. it's terrible. tragic. they don't know where to do or where to go. it is hard. maybe they will get hit as they are running away. the situation has been terrible there for a long time. but president assad, surveying territory already recaptured by his forces, now looks on course to win back all of syria, supported by russia and iran. —— the support of russia and iran has been crucial to his tryouts. but before triumphant. his troops amassing on the borders of idlib, and insist they'll drive out the islamist militants they see as terrorists. so far, international calls for a ceasefire are being ignored and

there is a growing sense that this seven —year—old war which has killed hundreds of thousands is reaching its final stages. new powers come into force today designed to stop nuisance calls from personal injury and claim management firms. you'll now need to opt in to allow companies to contact you. businesses that don't comply could face a fine of half a million. manuela saragosa has the details. for many of us, cold calls are a daily torment. hello? the financial conduct authority says some 2.7 billion nuisance calls texts and e—mails were made over the past year. that works out to be about 50 calls, texts and e—mails sent to every single adult in the country. many are made by companies offering to settle personal injury claims, or to claim back ppi — payment protection insurance. but, from now on, these companies will have to check first that the recipient has explicitly agreed to receive those calls and messages. companies that don't could face a fine of up to £500,000, and people are encouraged

to report them to the ico — the information commissioner's office. some companies will see the new change in law and i think they will desist from the activity. when they don't, i'm afraid people are going to have to complain. the ico does need the information from people about these calls, and she will then tackle, use her powers and, slowly but surely, we will get on top of it and they will completely cease. campaigners say the new rules do not go far enough. they won't, for example, stop calls from fraudsters and note, too, that firms based overseas are not covered. the issue of consent, they argue, is a red herring and they would prefer to see the authorities rule that unsolicited direct marketing calls are not a legitimate way of doing business. manuela saragosa, bbc news. it's emerged that a russian dissident who was murdered in britain in march believed that two men from moscow had tried to assassinate him five years ago. nikolai glushkov was found dead

at his home in south—west london, a week after the former spy, sergei skripal and his daughter, yulia, were poisoned in salisbury. now the police have re—opened their investigation into an incident in 2013, in which mr glushkov was taken ill after drinking champagne with two russian men. richard lister reports. the murder mystery of nikolai glushkov, a prominent critic of vladimir putin, hasjust become a little murkier. his body was found at his home in south—west london in march, a week after the skripals were poisoned in salisbury. mr glushkov appeared to have been strangled, but now it has emerged that one of bristol's grandest hotels may have been the setting for an attempt on his life five years earlier, when two russian men plied him with champagne. keith carr was the paramedic who treated him. nikolai had been lying on the floor and he had carpet burns. and he appeared like someone who normally who had

an epileptic fit. the russian had told them that he was poisoned and was taken to bristol's royal infirmary. it is the first time in over a0 years that i've ever had anybody claiming to be poisoned deliberately. but when we revisited the bri an hour and a half later or so, the consultant told me that it was now being taken very seriously. and they'd handed it over to special branch. the police say that they did investigate but no charges were ever brought and the enquiry into his death at new mould and appears to have gone cold. —— and the enquiry into his death at new malvern appears to have gone cold. officers are still seeking information about this van, seen near mr glushkov‘s house before his death this year. there has been no official link with his case in the salisbury attacks.

decontamination efforts are under way in the house where the skripals were poisoned. but police say they will not discuss lines of enquiry in either investigation. richard lister, bbc news. the police are questioning a 28—year—old woman on suspicion of attempted murder after a man was stabbed in the centre of barnsley. shoppers described seeing the woman brandishing a foot—long knife and attacking the man, who suffered minor injuries. a market trader has been praised for confronting the woman and persuading her to give up the weapon. a mother and a child have had a miraculous escape after a tube train went over the top of them at baker street station in london last night. police say the woman was pushing a buggy along a platform before falling onto the tracks after being distracted by looking at the arrivals board. emergency services swarmed around baker street station last night. people who saw what happened were screaming and running away in tears. suddenly, alarms started going off, and all the members of staff were running around the place, yelling.

and i was on the escalators going down to the platform when a number of staff were running down the escalators with a hi—viz jacket, yelling at people to get out of the way. it was on this platform where the family had their miraculous escape. distracted by the arrivals board, the mother fell off the platform, along with her child in a buggy. her partnerjumped down to help and the three managed to crawl into into the shallow pit under the rails. the whole point about the pits in which the people cowered underneath the train is that they were built precisely for this eventuality. so the people who designed the tube more than 100 years ago realised that people might fall onto the tracks, and that they might be able to hide underneath the train in the pit. and that's what it did — it did itsjob. the track's electric current was shut down and the family managed to escape. they were taken to hospital but amazingly, did not suffer

any serious injuries. transport for london says it is relieved the family managed to escape unharmed after the accident here last night but says it emphasises the need for people to stay behind the yellow line on its platforms. on social media, witnesses expressed their shock and relief about what happened. a near miss which could've been a horrifying tragedy. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news — labour mp chuka umunna has accused jeremy corbyn of driving centre—left mps like himself out of the party. russian warplanes have launched fresh strikes on rebel—held positions in the syrian province of idlib, as protesters call for international help to stop the offensive. companies can no longer make cold calls unless a claimant has opted in to receive them. claims management companies that break the rules will face large fines. sport and for a full round up,

sweden's prime minister has used the final day of campaigning in his country's general election to warn of what he called the "dark forces" of extremism. the latest opinion polls suggest stefan lofven's centre—left social democrats are unlikely to win a majority and the far right anti—immigrant sweden democrats will make big gains. earlier i spoke to the professor of journalism, christian christensen, from the university of stockholm, who explained the rise in popularity of the sweden democrats. internationally, our lot of the discussion has been about immigration and crime. the sweden democrats began their rise and entered the parliament eight years ago. it is not simply about that because the crime levels, what we have been discussing in the last few yea rs, have been discussing in the last few years, went necessarily the case eight years ago. it is a sense that the mainstream parties have not addressed immigration and also, the basic sentiment of bias against immigrants. in sweden, the criticism has been that the mainstream parties

have not been a dressing the question to sufficient level, thus all our sweden, —— thus, allowing sweden democrats. has it shifted the debate generally further to the right in the campaign? what you noticed was, about 11—5 months ago, almost every party, including the sweden com —— sweden to mac democrats, whether it is productive isa democrats, whether it is productive is a different issue. political scientists have indicated that when parties want to go further to the right to attract voters, it can alienate their core. the consensus in sweden is the sweden democrats taking over has shifted the debate to the right. in terms of issues dominating the election, immigration is front and centre, is that the case? i think it is an

overstatement. a few days ago, a new poll came out saying that climate is the number one concern for many swedish people. while the sweden democrats polling at about 20%, four out of five people are not going to be voting for them. 80% will be voting for other parties and of that, they don't want the parties they vote for to go into a coalition with them. the notion that immigration and crime is dominating, while the numbers are certainly different than they were 5— ten yea rs different than they were 5— ten years ago, the notion that it is a tidal wave of sentiment is not necessarily the case. there are these issues, healthcare, schools and environment. tributes have been paid to the us rapper, mac miller, who's died after an apparent drug overdose. the 26—year—old, who's real name was malcolm mccormick, was found at his home near los angeles. he rose to fame after topping the us charts with his debut album in 2011. earlier this year, the musician went through a well—publicised break—up with his long—term girlfriend,

the singer ariana grande. earlier i spoke to bbc radio 1xtra dj semtex who was one of the first djs to interview mac miller. i asked him about the man he remembers. mac miller was an amazing person, first and foremost. he was just really humble, kind—hearted, funny, incredibly creative. from a hip—hop point of view, he was one of the best as an mc, one of the most versatile, articulate mcs, he was one of the greatest. and you were the first person to interview him in the uk. what was it that stood out to you about him and the talent that he had? the innocence of the music. the first mix tape that he put out and the first set of singles and the videos, they all had the look and the feel. nikes on my feet was a classic of that era from when it first dropped in 2011.

you could refer to as the blog era. it was all over the internet. the mainstream media wasn't pushing this kind of music. it was a major discovery. it was when blogs first came to prominence, and he was all over that. it was just raw talent, it was the essence of hip—hop. he embodied everything from great artists that came before him. he was doing it from his perspective, he was very young. he was just different at the time. the other thing that was noteworthy about him that was how open he was about him that was how open he was about his struggles with substance abuse. yeah, he was his heart on his sleeve. —— he wore. i never spoke to him about things like that. when i was talking to him, it was purely about the music and everything else.

he has dealt with them the way that he has dealt with them. it's just u nfortu nate he has dealt with them. it's just unfortunate that he never got to witness the amount of love we have seen witness the amount of love we have seenin witness the amount of love we have seen in the last 12 hours also because it's been crazy. everybody online, everybody who has ever met him, they all have a story. everybody has something incredibly positive to say about him. i wish that, while he was going through what he was going through, i wish you got to see how many people cared about him around the world. you got to see how many people cared about him around the worldlj you got to see how many people cared about him around the world. i doubt that you've met him a few times. is there any moment or situation or memory that stands out for you that you feel you will keep with you and really sums up your memories of him? i was dj in on tour with an artist in switzerland and mac miller was there. normally i have a microphone with me and i'm trying to do an interview with an artist. he saw me and said look, sem, we don't always

have to do an interview every time we hang out, let'sjust hang out. it kind of taught me a lesson about artists that they are humans, too. sometimes it's good to just hang out as friends rather than always be trying to do the radio thing of the interview thing. putting the show first. he was just like, interview thing. putting the show first. he wasjust like, next time we hook up, we will freestyle. there was got the message when he was on the uk that i was up on the door. every time i was always on the schedule for him to come through maestros. —— my shows. it's not an artist and a dj thing. there is some kind of friendship. there is some kind of friendship. there is some kind of friendship. there is some kind of warmth. that is the coolest thing. what do you think his legacy will be to the world of music? what will be to the world of music? what will his influence be even after his passing? i think his legacy will be, he will be remembered for the music

and what he achieved as an independent artist. an mc. he was a musician. i think the legacy will be it's a wake—up call. just an awareness of not everybody is able to cope with their situations. from what i have seen, just friends. everybody is going through their own ordeals. you don't realise that not everybody is as strong as you think they are. the british actress olivia coleman has been named best actress at the venice film festival. soon to be seen playing the queen in "the crown" she won the award for her role in "the favourite", playing the 18th century queen anne. willem dafoe won best actor for the vincent van gogh biopic
