this is bbc news, i'm geeta guru murthy live in westminster. the headlines at ten. following his election victory, the prime minister will visit the north of england to meet voters in traditional labour heartlands — which turned blue for the first time. we'll be in leigh where the blue wave crashed through the red wall, to find out why this once proud labour stronghold changed its colours. borisjohnson rejects demands for another independence referendum in scotland, despite a massive surge in support for the snp in the general election. after labour lost its fourth general election in a row, the focus now turns to who will succeed jeremy corbyn as party leader. i'm rachel schofield with the rest of this morning's headlines. journey times are being cut, more services and new routes added

as part of major timetable changes on britain's railways. the search for two remaining bodies resumes, following the volcanic eruption in new zealand. and, crucial united nations climate talks in madrid are continuing, with no sign that an agreement is imminent. good morning and welcome to westminster. borisjohnson will visit the north of england today, hours after celebrating his party's biggest election win for 30 years by sweeping aside labour in its traditional heartlands. the prime minister has said he hopes the conservatives‘ victory will bring "closure" to the brexit debate and "let the healing begin". he won a commons majority of 80, his party's largest since 1987.

in contrast, labour suffered its worst election result since the 1930s. jeremy corbyn said he did "everything he could" to get labour into power but expects to stand down "early next year" when a successor has been chosen by the party. there are flashing images in this report by our political correspondent, nick eardley. back in downing street but with a political landscape that has changed completely. borisjohnson will now lead a majority government, giving him the numbers to make brexit happen, and space to reshape domestic policy too. a message to voters... i say thank you for the trust you have placed in us and in me, and we will work round the clock to repay your trust and to deliver on your priorities with a parliament that works for you. and then i want to speak also

to those who did not vote for us or for me and who wanted and perhaps still want to remain in the eu, and i want you to know that we, in this one nation conservative government, will never ignore your good and positive feelings of warmth and sympathy towards the other nations of europe. he won seats the tories have never ta ken before, some of them former labour heartlands and now he wants the country to move on. reporter: are you going to resign, mr corbyn? labour, meanwhile, licks its wounds after a disastrous night, it's worst election tally for 80 years. some wantjeremy corbyn to go soon. he says he will quit, but not until the new year. the responsible thing to do is not to walk away from the whole thing, and i won't do that. i will stay here until there has been somebody elected to succeed me and then i will step down at that point. the lib dems have reflecting to do, too.

they lost seats, including leaderjo swinson, replaced by the snp‘s candidate in eastern dunbartonshire. the snp made big gains and scottish independence will climb back up the agenda. last night, boris johnson told nicola sturgeon, in a phone call, that the last independence vote should be respected, but the scottish first minister says she has a mandate from voters. now, i acknowledge that not absolutely everybody who voted snp yesterday is ready to support independence. whether or not scotland becomes an independent country must be a matter for the people who live here. so not everything will be plain sailing for prime ministerjohnson, but, with a big majority, he has a lot more power and a much bigger opportunity to govern as he wants. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. as you heard in that report, the prime minister spoke yesterday after his party's success

in the polls of the need to unite and heal the country, promising to work "night and day" to repay the trust of voters. i am forming a new government, and on monday mps will arrive at westminster to form a new parliament and i'm proud to say that members of our new one nation government, a people's government, will set out from constituencies that have never returned a conservative mp for 100 years. and yes, they will have an overwhelming mandate from this election to get brexit done, and we will honour that mandate by january the 31st. and so, in this moment of national resolution, i want to speak directly to those who made it possible, and to all those who voted for us, for the first time, and those whose pencils may have wavered over the ballot, and who heard the voices of their parents and their grandparents whispering anxiously in their ears. i say, thank you for the trust you have placed in us and in me,

and we will work round—the—clock to repay your trust and to deliver on your priorities with a parliament that works for you. labour lost many seats in its traditional heartlands yesterday and the small mining town of leigh in greater manchester had been a labour seat for decades, but on thursday night it turned from red to blue. in a night that saw political allegiences switch across the country, the town elected their first ever conservative mp. james grundy said he'd "expected to lose with dignity", but are his constituents as shocked as he was? jayne mccubbin has been to find out. if you want to see how the blue wave crashed through the red wall, come here to leigh market and chat to people like john. i'm the son of a miner. my dad was called a tunnel rat. that's what he did. he helped put up steels in t‘tunnel. people would say he would turn

in his grave voting tory, but i'm so glad i voted forjames grundy and not joanne platt. let's give them a chance. let's give grundy a chance. the north's political map, perhaps political soul, changed yesterday with 2a constituencies voting tory for the first time in decades. when the result was announced, it was electric and then some. it was completely unexpected. let me see your tongue! you've gone all blue! james says he ditched labour because they can't be trusted on the economy. and you're excited 7 a little, yes. it sounds weird, but yes. a year ago, no—one would have thought this was possible. these constituents have had a labour mp since 1922. my name's anne. almost as long as anne's family veg stall has been here and until yesterday, the town had never had a tory mp. there is no law. what does that expression mean? what does that expression mean, anne? she is reluctantly supportive, not of the new government, but of the chance to cut

through the parliamentary deadlock. i didn't actually vote to leave, but the choice was made, that's it, end of story, choice is made, get on with it and make the best of what we've got. simple as. i'm just fed up of it. and all of this is so significant, so extraordinary, it has brought an italian news crew to leigh market, to film an italian deli in a minute interview, the new mp. it's quite a surprise, isn't it? you're mp for leigh on italian tv! yes, i think that sentence would perhaps come up in a sweepstake of the least likely things to be said to me! because no—one here is more surprised by james grundy‘s success thanjames grundy. have you learned anything? this is an interesting question. i learned that tiny communities far away from the big cities can think in a different way.

waiting in karen's hairdressers, david says he started to think differently when his party stopped listening. i think labour have been very complacent in areas like this. for me, they were given a clear message at the beginning, that we wanted out. and, because they've been messing around, we've again now given another clear message. we don't like corbyn and it's that one person who's ruined it. we need to kick corbyn out, and then we'll be all right. but make no mistake, labour is farfrom dead here. how are you feeling about what's ahead, sofina? sofina moved to leigh three years ago from dudley, where she was a labour councillor. but she agrees with boris johnson in two regards. many labour votes here have simply been gifted to him on loan. and now is the time for healing. we can all live together regardless of our political aspirations. i really pray and hope that borisjohnson does live up to his promises because i know jeremy corbyn definitely would. jeremy corbyn has called his pa rty‘s performance

in the election "disappointing" and laid out his plans for what happens next... well, the national executive will have to meet, of course, in the very near future and it's up to them. they will make that decision, not me. but what i hope is that there will be a period when we can have a good discussion within the party and i think that's healthy and to be very welcome. and i hope those that were inspired by our manifesto will actuallyjoin the party and take part in that discussion. it's up to them to set a programme for when an election will take place. it'll be in the early part of next year sometime. because quite often, leaders stand down straightaway after a general election defeat like this. this is a catastrophic defeat. many people would expect you to stand down straightaway? i was elected to lead the party and i think the responsible thing to do is not to walk away from the whole thing. i won't do that. i will stay here until there has been someone elected to succeed me and i will step down at that point. let's now talk to the new conservative mp for wrexham, sarah atherton. she is the first ever

conservative mp for the area. congratulations on your win this week. what does borisjohnson now have to do to make sure that you are not voted out in five years time? borisjohnson has a part to play. he has to deliver on brexit but i am also with a part to play. like your report before in leigh, the same situation is coming up in wrexham and asa situation is coming up in wrexham and as a conservative mp, i have to prove to them that i can deliver. notjust prove to them that i can deliver. not just about brexit prove to them that i can deliver. notjust about brexit but prove to them that i can deliver. not just about brexit but the closure and healing process and addressing some of the issues we have here in wrexham. specifically what needs to happen? we've had a lot of talk about one nation conservatism and spending that specifically, what is needed? here there are two concerns, the town centre but also the nhs, more

importantly. it's run by a welsh labour government and we've had a labour government and we've had a labour assembly member before. services have deteriorated and gone down, people can see that when they look out their windows. that's why i think they want change when they come to the conservative party. my role would be to try and influence and scrutinise the nhs as a social worker and a nurse. i have the skills to do that. in terms of the doorstep when you were campaigning, what were people saying to you? were you surprised at the fact labour did not take the seat? i wasn't, actually. from the thursday we were getting a positive response from the wards where we would not ordinarily have had that support and what they we re have had that support and what they were clearly saying is that they wa nt were clearly saying is that they want brexit delivered, 59% of wrexham voted to leave, it was not delivered. and secondly they wanted the democratic will of the people upheld. when you say they wanted

brexit done, what are they expecting will improve in their daily lives as a result? they want to be able to move on. all of the focus, including here in wales, is on brexit. the talk is brexit 21w. they feel other issues have been neglected. brexit was an argument put forward by the conservative party. in practical terms, what will brexit deliver for your constituents that improves their daily lives? £1.9 billion has been offered from the uk government to the welsh labour government to improve our health service. until brexit is delivered, these sorts of pledges of money cannot come into wales, orfurther employment opportunities or business opportunities, and secure further

growth. we cannot do that until this year.. growth. we cannot do that until this year. . . why growth. we cannot do that until this year. .. why not, why can the money not be pledged anyway? the focus is on getting brexit done. but that was a conservative i’ow. on getting brexit done. but that was a conservative row. what i don't understand is your constituents have said they think their lives will improve from this as a result of brexit happening. as i said, further focus supports concentration, money will then be released through the democratic parliamentary process and that will then be spent on services that will then be spent on services that they want to see improved. the nhs and the town centre. and you think that the deal, ultimately, is done next year? that people will come together? unify, if you like. the leave— remain split will go

away? when you start seeing improvements locally, and there is less talk about brexit and mps deliver, then yes. i think we will heal. there is an interest to move on. and are there any concerns about boris johnson's on. and are there any concerns about borisjohnson‘s leadership on. and are there any concerns about boris johnson's leadership or was on. and are there any concerns about borisjohnson‘s leadership or was he a bus on the doorstep, as far as you we re a bus on the doorstep, as far as you were concerned? by and large he is a plus. i've no concerns about his leadership. he has been very clear on brexit and i'm pleased he's mentioned one nation conservatism. we can move on to social responsibility, active global leadership, and i'm pleased that he has made the shift in tone and focus. and in terms of that brexit deal next year, there are concerns as to whether you can deliver a complex trade agreement in the timeframe boris johnson has complex trade agreement in the timeframe borisjohnson has set. given the january deadline will happen, do you think if that longer

term proper deal is not done, people will be worried, or not? the idea is to get the transition period finished by next year. i think people will see improvements locally, there may be some flexibility but i would like to see what we have pledged on it. many thanks indeed. you will be taking your place this week, when are you coming to westminster? sunday for a monday etienne stott! -- eight o'clock in the morning start. let's now talk to the new labour mp for putney, fleur anderson. putney was labour's only seat gain from the conservatives at this general election. congratulations, why did you manage to succeed when everyone else clearly failed ? to succeed when everyone else clearly failed? thank you very much. many other labour mps one that i am very disappointed to be the only gain. i expected to be walking into parliament next week with a lot of new labour mps beside me. this is

quite sad for me. but i'm delighted to have won here in putney and we've been focusing our campaign on those things that are really important for people in putney. brexit is important. we are internationally minded. that was our main issue but also issues about the nhs and our schools cuts came up strongly. i will be going in fighting on those issues. the remain argument seems to be completely over now with this massive tory victory. shouldn't jeremy corbyn stand down immediately? why is he going to hang on? every time we have these tory leaders immediately leaving us in the lurch, that is not a good way to carry on. an orderly reflection, taking ourtime and carry on. an orderly reflection, taking our time and making sure we do this in a controlled and responsible way, rather than just walking off the next day, is absolutely the right thing to do. and i appreciate that you are fresh

into the role as a new mp but who would you want to be leading the party next? i haven't thought about that at all! really, i've been focusing so much on our campaign in putneyin focusing so much on our campaign in putney in talking to so many people in persuading so many different types of people across the constituency to vote for labour, whether they were voting wholeheartedly for the first time, many people said they were, and saying labour have their answer all saying labour have their answer all saying this is tactical, we will lend you our vote, that's what i've been focusing on, not who will be leader. that's the last thing i've been think about. that is astonishing given that the polls said jeremy corbyn was heading for a catastrophic defeat like we have seen. if putney is a remain area, do you want a remainer mp to lead the party? that will be a huge factor in it, but we are not going to remain, clearly. as much as i would like to.

that will be the conversation going forward and i think this conversation clearly is not over about europe. the outlook of a new labour party leader on europe is a factor for labour party leader on europe is a factorfor me, labour party leader on europe is a factor for me, absolutely. labour party leader on europe is a factorfor me, absolutely. it's not the defining factor either. we need a leader to bring us back together who can unite and heal the country because i trust borisjohnson to do that no matter what he has said. the people in putney and across the country are not united in trusting borisjohnson to country are not united in trusting boris johnson to unite country are not united in trusting borisjohnson to unite the country. we need a leader, first and foremost, he will do that. do you think on the doorstep that people voted for you despitejeremy corbyn‘s leadership and therefore a corbyn‘s leadership and therefore a corbyn — type leader will not go down well in future? i would be lying if i said it didn't. many people said i will give you my vote, and many people voted for the

parties manifestos that jeremy corbyn has brought us under his leadership. there is a mixture of people, but who we have is our next leader is to be determined by many different factors. do you think it should be someone from the corbyn area of the party or a more central place in the labour party?” area of the party or a more central place in the labour party? i don't know, i think dividing us is actually divisive and what we need is someone who can bring us together. i do not vote along sectional lines, i never have and i will not be doing that. i will be looking at the different people and what they have to bring 12 party and i will not be ruling anyone out. isn't that denying the obvious fact that this corbyn style of leadership has been a disaster, electorally? no, it's not. a lot of people voted for a lot of different reasons and not every potential leader brings different polities to how they lead the party. in putney, we have said

that we want a labour mp, and a labour government. i will be listening to all of the reasons why people said that and there are many different reasons but it was a massively positive and optimistic campaign we ran here. what we are saying in this campaign is, let's keep it going and the spirit out on the streets. it has been an old—fashioned on the stump conversation by conversation campaign and that is what we need to keep going in the labour party, someone keep going in the labour party, someone who will keep leading us in the spirit of optimism and hope, and how we can have a better future. we do not need to shrug our shoulders and say, austerity has to happen. our children's schools have to have cuts and the nhs needs privatisation. we don't need to do that. a leader who does that is what we are looking for but for all of the party members themselves and the movement that we have here in putney and across the country, with all of those amazing activists who came out during the campaign, that is the

future. we have to look at the whole party and how we keep up the fight. now, more than ever, the conservative party has lurched to the right. i'm really worried about the right. i'm really worried about the future of our country and i'm really worried on behalf of so many putney residents and across the country. we have to look at ourselves, the labour party, with how we keep this going and keep up the fight. flare anderson, the new labourmpfor the fight. flare anderson, the new labour mp for putney. congratulations. —— fleur anderson. following the election win, the prime minister spoke to snp leader nicola sturgeon and reiterated his opposition to a second independence referendum in scotland. the conversation came after the first minister said the pm had "no right" to stand in the way of a second vote following her party's "overwhelming" election performance. westminster has ignored people in scotland for more than three years. last night, the people of scotland said enough. it is time for borisjohnson to start listening. i accept, regretfully,

that he has a mandate for brexit in england. but he has no mandate whatsoever to take scotland out of the european union. i'm joined by giles kenningham, former head of press at number ten. the most high—profile election casualty was the liberal democrat leader, jo swinson, who lost her seat in east dunbartonshire to the snp — by just 149 votes. he inherits a chunk of the country, is that your phone going off? a chunk of the country that conservatives have not represented before. what does that mean bastion mark often you heard about boris levelling up and rebalancing the country. there will be a movement towards that and if they govern the whole country, things like that are key but for him, he has a huge mandate. he has to move at breakneck

speed. labour are mandate. he has to move at breakneck speed. labourare in mandate. he has to move at breakneck speed. labour are in the middle of an existential crisis. he has to make the most of that. one of the key things about theresa may's government, she squandered it and did not do anything. now there is a relentless focus, going up north today, it never stops. whilst victory will have been sweet he won't have had long to enjoy it. he acknowledged outside number 10 that it was difficult for some to put the ci’oss it was difficult for some to put the cross against the conservatives but they will want to keep those seats in five years time. we could see the conservatives in government for another ten years? it's difficult to see how they get back into government after one term, labour. tony blair won in 1997 and it took two terms for the tories to get back in. the lib dems pretty much have gone into political oblivion, the brexit party didn't cut through. it feels more presidential. the usual

political playbook is ripped up. trump and johnson are disruptive politicians, rewriting how you campaign. the mainstream media is not as important as it once was for politicians. and the question as to how he governs, his style of governing and dealings with the press have been controversial and different to what we have seen before. do you think that style will continue as well? probably, there's a dangerfor the continue as well? probably, there's a danger for the media continue as well? probably, there's a dangerfor the media looking in. whilst andrew neil is a great interviewer, that was not coming up on the doorstep. when it was looking at whether he was going to do a channel 4 at whether he was going to do a channel a debate was not coming up on the doorstep. there were pockets of the media talking about themselves as opposed to what the policy was. it's about whether you are prepared to be held to account, it isn't just about are prepared to be held to account, it isn'tjust about media interviews but looking at the government with a massive majority, they do what they wa nt massive majority, they do what they

want in parliament and whether it will be hard to help them to account 01’ will be hard to help them to account or push these things that people are worried about. we live in an age where everyone has a camera phone, there are loads of different forms of media, like facebook and instagram, it's different ways of communicating with people. at times, the media were noticing that. one campaign going on in the media and another happening on the doorstep. in terms of keeping the heartlands and the one nation conservatism, the spend policy is not necessarily going to totally sit comfortably with everyone in the conservative party, is it? it's quite a big shift if they are to invest in transport and infrastructure? it's key for the future of the country. we had austerity for a long time, it was necessary to go through with this but now i think a short—term boost to the economy, brexit will happen and now you have certainty and more investment. if people on the right of the party do not like the big

state politics, if they protest, will borisjohnson state politics, if they protest, will boris johnson ignore state politics, if they protest, will borisjohnson ignore those voices? we are speculating on the nature of what he will do. they are saying that, we need to have an investment in parliamentary infrastructure which will be key for whoever is in government. and do you think a brexit deal will be done by the end of next year? it will have two, you have to blow the doors off. ido two, you have to blow the doors off. i do think it is possible though. thank you very much indeed. the most high—profile election casualty was the liberal democrat leader, jo swinson, who lost her seat in east dunbartonshire to the snp — by just 149 votes. under party rules, she has now stepped down as leader and made an emotional speech, saying she is proud to have been the lib dems first female leader. i'm proud that liberal democrats have been the unapologetic voice of remain in this election. giving people the chance to choose to stop brexit.

obviously it hasn't worked — and i, like you, am devastated about that. but i don't regret trying. donald trump has congratulated borisjohnson on his victory in the general election. the president's administration has repeatedly spoken out in support of brexit and voiced enthusiasm for a free trade deal with the uk. i want to congratulate borisjohnson on a terrific victory. i think that might be a harbinger of what's to come in our country. it was last time. he's a friend of mine. it's going to be a great thing for the united states also, because it means a lot of trade, tremendous amount of trade. they want to do business with us so badly. how realistic is that trade deal and well will —— and when will brexit get done, as the prime minister keep saying?

i'm joined by janet smart from the university of oxford's said business school. is it possible for this deal to be done by the end of next year? is it possible for this deal to be done by the end of next year7m depends, as the previous guest was saying, infrastructure needs to be in place in order to make it work. think, in particular, about what will happen at the border. whether it is the irish border down the irish sea, or the border with the eu. there will have to be quite a lot of work done to put the infrastructure in place. and the it systems, developing training systems and recruiting people, training people in their businesses to be able to use these new systems. it will take time to get brexit done. how long does that normally take? will take time to get brexit done. how long does that normally take7m would take easily a year, being a border agent is a complex job. would take easily a year, being a border agent is a complexjob. there are many different roles that will need to be done. and has any of that started ? need to be done. and has any of that started? it's hard to know, the original due date was january last

year when we were expecting an earlier brexit. but some of that has already been in place. depending on the outcome of the trade negotiations, there may need to be changes to be made. if you wanted to go for the fastest trade deal possible, where with that sit politically? close alignment? the fastest one possible would be with close alignment but the trouble is, because brexiteers want to diverge from eu rules, being able to build in some flexibility in the trade deal and the it systems that you're going to have to have is going to be demanding. is it possible for boris johnson going to be demanding. is it possible for borisjohnson to do a deal with time, not extend after that summer deadline by doing something that is quite broadbrush, so something that is quite broadbrush, so it pushes the very difficult decisions down the track? yes, that's likely what will have to be done. but if it can't be done by the

deadline of december 2020, it will have to be called something else. like an it period or implementation period. because all of the infrastructure might not be in place. how long would you expect that delay? you are asking me how long is a piece of string. it depends how far the preparations are already in place. it could take some time stop because this is going to be something that is so crucial to the country buzz trade we don't want to collapse, we don't want it to generate errors and delays. is there a middle ground where you can have close alignment with the eu and have the flexibility to have this huge us deal is thatjust not possible? that's going to be because you might just be trying to set up parallel systems to get it together. it will be difficult. can you give me an example of one business where those

two things would be in conflict?” can't think of one off the top of my head. it is a tough question. it is a difficult thing to serve two masters. already we have systems in place that can deal with trade within the eu and non—eu trade. and you might have to do something that ru ns you might have to do something that runs both wheels of the bicycle. and which sectors of the most complex or crucial for the british economy? this is also aboutjobs and people's futures and we are a nation of small businesses, aren't we? one of the sectors i think will be quite badly affected is the agri— food sector because they are feeling very vulnerable to changes and competition from the us. and the eu. because tariffs and so forth have to be applied to the agricultural sector and then we would see difficulties. agricultural sectors being challenged by the bad weather we have had lately with the

rainfall. and that could be a sector that's going to make significant challenges from every direction. thank you very much for coming in. so how did borisjohnson s 80—seat majority happen? scroll through our interactive map and witness the gains and losses that made for a momentous election night. please visit bbc.co.uk/news or the bbc news app. much more if you want to sit and slowly digest this huge result that we've seen this week. now let's cross to rachel schofield in the newsroom for the rest of the day's top stories. thanks very much. asummary of a summary of the latest other nonpolitical news. rail passengers are being urged to check their train times before they travel from tomorrow, as a new winter timetable comes into effect. the plan is forjourney times to be cut, services increased and new routes added across the country, after infrastructure

and carriage investment. our business correspondent, katie prescott, has more. this is the nightmare scenario, when train timetables were changed in may last year, chaos ensued. standing room only as passengers faced cancellations, delays and overcrowding. but if these timetable changes are a success, some parts of the uk will get faster and more frequent services. we get, quite rightly, complaints from passengers, saying the trains are packed, we need to have more services so we can find a seat. this is what we're trying to do and this is our opportunity to do it, in the timetable changes. there are two every year, to get ready for the season. one to get ready for the summer and one to get ready for winter and this is where we put on those extra services. sunday will see the biggest timetable change on the great western railway network since the 19705. the electrification of the line between london and bristol will shave 12 minutes off

the quickest trains. the maesteg and conwy lines in wales will get sunday services for the first time. and there will be major improvements on the scott rail network, with additional trains in north—east scotland as well as extra seats between edinburgh and glasgow. passengers are advised to check before they travel as many train times are changing from tomorrow. katie prescott, bbc news. divers are continuing to search the waters near white island volcano in new zealand in efforts to retrieve two remaining bodies. fourteen deaths have been confirmed from monday's eruption. around 20 people remain in intensive care with severe burns. our correspondent, phil mercer — explained how the search for the final two bodies is progressing. police divers and their colleagues from the navy have been in the contaminated waters off white island and those seas have

been contaminated by that volcanic eruption on monday. so ash, chemicals in the water and when the divers have to come out of the water, they must be decontaminated. visibility is not good in the water. what they're looking for is a body. a body was seen in the sea, 2a hours after the eruption. so, the authorities believe that there are two more victims that they need to retrieve. one of them is believed to be in the water. the other is still thought to be on the island. there will be no attempt to go back into land on the island today, so the authorities are concentrating their efforts on the seas, looking for one of those last known victims. crucial un climate talks in madrid are continuing into the weekend — with no agreement in sight. the summit was meant to see countries commiting to new climate pledges by the end of 2020. but many key issues

remain unresolved. andy beatt reports. two weeks of talks, but little sign of a breakthrough. with nearly 200 nations taking part, it was never going to be easy. but as friday's deadline came and went, deadlock remained between rich and poor, between major polluters and the countries most at risk. for those watching this last—ditch diplomacy, mounting frustration. they have to change the system. they have to make it clear that they understand the science and that they're going to act. and until that moment, ijust see it getting bigger and bigger and probably more radical at the same time. shouting in spanish. the voice of an angry generation is getting louder. millions in madrid, and around the world, hoped cop25 would notjust cement the achievements of 2015's landmark paris agreement but go further,

embracing ambitious new climate change targets. some progress has been made, more than 80 countries promising bolder cuts in carbon emissions by the end of next year, but they only represent 10% of the global picture. translation: they say they‘ re making gains, but we and the scientists don't see it that way. every day, we see that more species are becoming extinct. we see that temperatures are rising, but also see they're doing nothing to try to resolve this. as climate chaos continues, campaigners warn failure is not an option. andy beatt, bbc news. north korean state media say the country has conducted another test at a satellite launch site to bolster its strategic nuclear deterrence. the state news agency said it was a "succesful test of great significance", without giving further details

i don't think i've got enough glitter to compete with that! we start with the premier league and liverpool host watford in the lunchtime kick off. watford will play under new manager nigel pearson while liverpool fans had an early christmas present. when managerjurgen klopp signed a new contract, which will keep him at the club until 2024. liverpool have an eight—point lead at the top of the premier league but klopp isn't taking anything as a given... analysis we can throw in the bin. we picked out games from last club in belgium, we picked out games from when it was a derby and leicester, style of play, stuff like this, that is what we did the last couple of days. that is enough as a problem and all the other things, i don't care.

and you might call this a coincidence, but liverpool legend steven gerrard has also signed a contract extension as rangers manager. that'll keep him in charge until you guessed it, 2024 the same year as klopp. maybe a bit of succession planning there? gerrard had originally signed a four year deal when he was appointed in 2018. rangers have qualified for the europa league knockout stages. michael van gerwen has moved a step closer to defending his world championship darts title. the world number one is through to the third round after beating fellow dutchman jelle klaasen. van gerwen is looking to win the tournament for a fourth time. there was an upset in the quarter finals of snooker‘s scottish open where world number onejudd trump was knocked out by david gilbert. the world number 12 won by five frames to two in glasgow. he'll now face mark selby who beat ronnie o'sullivan five four in his quarterfinal. defending champion mark allen is also through. and finally doddie weir has won this year's hellen rollanson award which recognises

outstanding achievement in sport in the face of adversity. the scottish rugby legend was diagnosed with motor neuron disease in 2016. he set up the my name's doddie foundation, which has raised more than £4 million for research into the disease. weir was also awarded an obe this year. and doddie will be presented with the award at tomorrow night's sports personality of the year award in aberdeen. you can find more about the event and all our stories on the bbc sport website. and of course sports personality of the year is live on bbc one tomorrow night at seven o'clock. that's all for me let's head back to geeta now who's at westminster. now for the papers. welcome back to westminster for a special edition of the papers... in wake of yesterday's general

election results, which saw boris johnson return to downing street triumphant as the conservative party secured a large working majority in the house of commons. the general election from thursday. the prime minister will visit the north of england today, hours after celebrating his party's biggest election win for 30 years by sweeping aside labour in its traditional heartlands. in contrast, labour suffered its worst election result since the 1930s. so how have the papers responded — let's take a look at some of today's front pages from around the uk. "we did it!" exclaims the daily mail — the paper says borisjohnson's win at the polls has lifted britain's spirit with a christmas message of healing. the guardian front page simply says "next stop, brexit", showing a picture of the prime minister who claims the uk will leave the eu in just six weeks time. "two landslides, one collision course", reads the scotsman. the paper place snp leader

nicola sturgeon in a face off with borisjohnson. the daily record follows suit with an different image of nicola sturgeon who they say has fired a warning shot — telling borisjohnson to not stand in her way over a second scottish independence vote. how safe are arlene foster and the dup asks the belfast telegraph. this is after the party's poor election results in northern ireland as more nationalists than unionists were returned to parliament. and the yorkshire post shows borisjohnson entering number ten after his decisive election win with a quote from the pm: "let the healing begin". well, that's a taste of some of today's front pages. with me to talk through some of those and a handful of others are anne mcelvoy, senior editor at the economist and torcuil crichton, westminster editor of the scottish daily record. thanks to both of you for interrupting your saturday line, your christmas shopping, whatever your christmas shopping, whatever you would have been doing. thanks for reminding us! thanks for inviting us to your lovely flat! it's beautiful, isn't it? very

beautiful. let's have a look at the mail, a picture of borisjohnson and carrie symonds. a huge political change, a massive majority. carrie symonds. a huge political change, a massive majoritym carrie symonds. a huge political change, a massive majority. it is a huge political change across the country. i think we will come on later to the daily mail the one that boris and carrie will want to hang up boris and carrie will want to hang up on their toilet wall. the view that this has been the election that boris shaped and he was able to reach parts of the country that nobody else has been able to reach for the conservative project. on the numbers and the constituencies, which have returned tory mps, there was a lot ofjustification in that mood. that's also going to be the challenge, how he reaches out. interesting he's gone straight up to the north—east of england. a lot of conservatives trying to reset the gps for the north, the north—east. they had never been there. the mail

even have a special souvenir edition. lots of lovely pictures inside. the daily telegraph have turned themselves into the christmas carol edition with tidings of comfort and joy, a picture of boris johnson in downing street with his healing speech, so healing speech. that is the mary brexmas. the daily telegraph have a pull out special. the front page, inevitable fighter of borisjohnson the front page, inevitable fighter of boris johnson compared the front page, inevitable fighter of borisjohnson compared with margaret thatcher and his alleged political hero, winston churchill. he wrote that terrible biography of churchill, didn't he? very hubristic. lots of talk of thatcher for those of us who remember that period. what do you think this level of political power means? some

people say fantastic, any brexit deal can be softer because all those on the right can be ignored. but also, unfettered, isn't it? yes. that is the opportunity and the burden for boris johnson and this conservative government more broadly. unlike 1983, where labour had that crushing defeat, the map was somehow intact in the north—east of england. first gone conservative for the first time in any one posit memory. that will be interesting, how that is balanced out and how does that affect brexit? boris johnson has a room to manoeuvre, if he is getting pressure from the erg as the financial times hints at, pressure from eurosceptics, that means that perhaps he has wriggle room about the trade deal that is supposed to be done by the end of the year. he did commit to it. he has to decide does he want a softer

brexit more aligned with the eu, much quicker proposition or something that is more global to the us. two points about thatcher, the constituencies that have voted for borisjohnson still hate thatcher and the memory of margaret thatcher is still toxic but they still voted for borisjohnson because they wa nted for borisjohnson because they wanted to get brexit done. that mantra worked. what was surprising, if you speak to those who are younger, in their 30s, there are memories of mining closures, they are not there. corbyn did not resonate. they are much more in the minds and! resonate. they are much more in the minds and i believe too strongly sometimes in the minds of the middle—class intellectuals talking about politics. i saw it again in the coverage more broadly and television and radio saying we don't wa nt television and radio saying we don't want to be taken back to the strife and the lack of opportunities in the 80s. thatcher in 83 and johnson in

2019, the difference is that we are about to engage on something that will change the course of british history. johnson is going to take britain out of the european union and that will alter the course of british history. that is why this ft line, hints of delay to the transition deadline, as pressure from eurosceptic eases, that is important. will he push back this end of 2020 commitment? he has the power and support to do what he wa nts. power and support to do what he wants. politically it is beneficial to ta ke wants. politically it is beneficial to take a longer time to get some kind of deal then presumably he might. that is it. what boris johnson has always stood for, i know where i am going and the bulldozer is not by accident i can crash through walls and get there quicker. lots of people said he couldn't get a deal with the eu and he did. that was the easier end of the deal. getting out is a lot easier than

knowing what you will do. he will keepa knowing what you will do. he will keep a pretty tough timetable and will rely on the fact that it looks like the china— us trade to could be coming to an end. the eu will not particularly wa nt coming to an end. the eu will not particularly want a hard brexit stand—off with great britain unless the uk is absolutely determined to have one. there will be lots of pressure on the timetable. a lot of his bandwidth will be taken up with brexit. there is a revolution coming. his in tray is full of other things, not least the state of the union and the reforms in whitehall that dominic cummings, his chief adviser, wants to get rid of the bureaucracy, the blob, as michael gove called it, when he was in charge of education. pushing through tory reforms. they had talked about reorganising government. always terrifying when you start reorganising government. civil serva nts reorganising government. civil servants love it! the talk is of a reshuffle that we will see perhaps a minor reshuffle to fill in gaps.”

saw a hint of penny mordaunt coming back to take that cultural because nicky morgan has gone. jacob rees—mogg and andrea leadsom potentially demoted. he doesn't need jacob rees—mogg now and he doesn't need a hard brexit in the cabinet. are you suggesting he is purely instrumental about the way he is treating his colleagues? i am shocked! let the healing begin by the times newspaper. a lot of conservative remain as vocally upset, michael heseltine this morning saying we have to live with it -- morning saying we have to live with it —— remainers. morning saying we have to live with it -- remainers. the mood has changed on that side and i spent election night with lots of them doing broadcast with some of those who had been very upset by the prorogation and given up jobs. who had been very upset by the prorogation and given upjobs. some of them saying i wish i had hung on a bit. there is that, whatever the opposite of regret is in the tory party tregret. amber rudd would have kept her seat if she stayed. these people are now crushed under the

wheels of history. and the tory party has changed. he has shaped it and moulded it in his own image. the country is changed, the electoral map has changed. he has claims of a mandate for putting brexit through, there is another mandate, almost like the austrian hungarian mandate, there is a mandate from scotland that little nicola sturgeon is claiming. let's come to scotland and we will come to the labour party —— scotla nd we will come to the labour party —— scotland at nicola sturgeon. let's have a look at some of the scottish papers. the daily record and the the daily mail, nationalism and a second referendum. london has to allow it, borisjohnson referendum. london has to allow it, boris johnson says referendum. london has to allow it, borisjohnson says he won't do it. he said at the beginning of the election campaign he said not while he is prime minister, that is five yea rs he is prime minister, that is five years hence he will deny... at least. deny nicola sturgeon a second referendum. she wants one next year

and she promised her supporters one next year but the practicalities and the enthusiasm for any kind of referendum, knowing what they don't solve rather than what they do solve is doubtful. she will keep pressing and put tanks on his lawn. the imagery today and next week will be interesting, we will see boris johnson in shed tony blair's old constituency. the dup obviously also did not do very well. looking at the belfast papers and the belfast telegraph, they have that on their front page. tricky for the unionists. lots of people have said brexit ultimately leads in a few yea rs brexit ultimately leads in a few years time to reunification of ireland. i am the person who has the least faith in long—term prognostications that it scotland will be doing its own thing. it has

an internal logic but elections are won one at a time. particularly if you think something is unwelcome and something huge will change down the line. on unionism, given the power that the dup had at westminster and the tories were absolutely reliant on the dup, it feels as if it has gone. functionally, that majority, that the sense that it could speak for northern ireland, has evaporated. on the constitutional situation, scotland is yes, no, stay, leave, but in northern ireland it is far more complex and the dup have lost their power, m mps, nigel —— nigel dodds has gone. have lost their power, m mps, nigel -- nigel dodds has gone. we must talk about the labour party runners and riders. the guardian has this, who will be the next labour leader? emily thornberry, keir starmer, more

centrist camp, remain camp. rebecca long—bailey thought to be an ally of john mcdonnell, angela rayner, jess phillips, lisa nandy, they pick out those names. who would your money be on? it is too early to tell. but it is an interesting sign, the exception of keir starmer. .. he is the wrong gender! there is a sense that this could be the push, particularly as they will be in opposition and it looks like they will be in opposition for a serious amount of time. it makes sense to make a change. for a progressive party not to have had a female leader, it is odd. chances are bigger for women. from a leader, it is odd. chances are biggerforwomen. from a northern seat and if not pro—brexit, someone who wanted to deliver brexit, even if they voted remain. i would have thought lisa nandy, if she is serious about it herself, she has chances. angela rayner is also possible. rebecca long— bailey chances. angela rayner is also possible. rebecca long—bailey is interesting. if there is a front runner backed by the john mcdonnell

machine, it would be rebecca long—bailey. machine, it would be rebecca long-bailey. the rebecca long—bailey's chances depend on how strong the backlash is against corbyn sm and the corbyn easter have heard across the country have corbyn himself and that left—wing push has gone down appallingly. how can the labour party possibly win with any of those people? there was an interesting piece about how they knew, months ago, from digging into this exit poll, they knew that 42% of people didn't vote labour because of people didn't vote labour because of corbyn and only 17 because of brexit and the blaming that. activists have doubled down on it being brexit and the media's fault. a studentjournalist, being brexit and the media's fault. a student journalist, i being brexit and the media's fault. a studentjournalist, i saw a thread on twitter and they said 17 reasons and it didn't mention it. can be labour party be steered back to the centre or are the levers of power in

the hands of the left wing people. will the centrists join the labour party to influence the outcome? will the centrists join the labour party to influence the outcome ?m they are still there. they may try to push again. even the left—wing papers, the daily mirror, time to start again. jason is now head of politics for the mirror. that is... inside the mirror how can he cling on. the spread as well. you are right, those defences around the corbyn project will come under big pressure. they are in a shock reaction now and the ideology is that there is always a reason and you could always come up with something in the superstructure that explains it. that determination to prove it was a right and the voters we re prove it was a right and the voters were wrong, on the left, labour obviously inevitably will choose the wrong leader! they will choose the leaderfor the wrong leader! they will choose the leader for the left and rather than

the leader who will persuade the liberals and the tories and snp members. we are out of time. lovely to see you. a lot to chew on especially over the future of the labour party and how long they will ta ke to labour party and how long they will take to get there. more from westminster throughout the day. let's catch up with the weather. here is chris. hello there. we are looking at some blustery conditions this weekend. weather—wise, it's a weekend of sunshine and showers. the showers having sunny spells between across england and wales, but further north you go, a lot of cloud around and indeed, through the central belt of scotland i think the showers will merge to give some fairly lengthy spells of rain. it's going to be a windy afternoon wherever you are. but the strongest winds will be working through the english channel. gusts reaching 50—60 miles an hour for the channel islands. temperatures on the cold side for the north of the uk. further south, normal for this time of year at around 9 degrees for cardiff and london. overnight, as colder air works in,

some of those showers turn to snow across the hills of north wales, into the pennines, the cumbrian fells and into the scottish higher ground through the southern uplands, argyll and bute towards the trossachs as well. so, for these areas, there could be a centimetre or two of snow building in, giving some icy conditions. for many of us, it's a cold night but with winds keeping the frost at bay, just about! that's your latest weather.

this is bbc news. i'm geeta guru murthy live in westminster. the headlines at 11... following his election victory, the prime minister will visit the north of england to meet voters in traditional labour heartlands which turned blue for the first time. we'll be in leigh, where the blue wave crashed through the red wall, to find out why this once proud labour stronghold changed its colours. borisjohnson rejects demands for another independence referendum in scotland, despite a massive surge in support for the snp in the general election. after labour lost its fourth general election in a row, the focus now turns to who will succeed jeremy corbyn as party leader. i'm rachel schofield with the rest of this morning's headlines. journey times are being cut, more services and new routes added,
