5:01 pm
denying this fact could be heinz was a season ticket interpreted by some as being a crime against humanity. holder for decades. the club has just celebrated its centenary, and heinz marks his 100th birthday in february. at yesterday's match against cardiff, he was presented a british man has been killed with a personalised shirt and scarf in a pitchside ceremony. and his son wounded, after being shot during a suspected how do you feel to be here today? robbery, outside a five—star hotel in buenos aires. cold! around 2,000 properties are still without water in and around leighton linslade they're doing better than they used to. in bedfordshire, after supplies we want them up in failed on friday night. the first division. heinz‘s story is remarkable. and sport stars from around the world are gathering in aberdeen for this year's bbc 0n the 9th of november 1938, his father was one of 30,000 jewish men and sport personality of the year. boys who were arrested and sent to concentration camps. the evening was known as kristallnacht, the night of the broken glass, because hundreds of synagogues were burnt and businesses destroyed. i saw the smoke from the burning synagogues and people were arrested, frogmarched through the streets. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news.
5:02 pm
jeremy corbyn and john mcdonnell and, of course, they came for me have apologised over labour's defeat as well, but i was not there. in thursday's election, heinz evaded the nazis that night which saw them lose 59 seats. mr corbyn said he was sorry by hiding on a bench in a park, that they "came up short", and escaped to leeds while mr mcdonnell told the bbc a few months later. he "owns this disaster". heinz and his brother eventually speaking to the bbc‘s andrew marr, helped their parents escape he said it was unfortunate nazi germany, too, but they did lose the party hadn't been able to articulate its message other family in the holocaust. more effectively. he also blamed the media's heinz became a british citizen two portrayal ofjeremy corbyn, years after the end of the war, insisting that he'd been demonised "for four years solid". and has supported his local here's our political football club ever since. correspondent tony bonsignore. i feel very proud that he has been honoured and the club have done him three days on and labour proud and hopefully he has is still trying to work out done the club proud. what went so catastrophically wrong. i'm just sorry that we've let some people down. in today's 0bserver, anna karina, one of the icons of france's new wave cinema, jeremy corbyn offered an apology. has died at the age of 79. she starred in some of the best known films made but the labour leader remains by the director, jean—luc godard, convinced that the campaign and directed films herself. wasn't a total failure. david ba mford takes a look back at her life. i'm proud, he says, that anna karina was one of the most
5:03 pm
on austerity, on corporate power, prominent actresses of the french on inequality and on the climate new wave cinema in the 1960s, emergency, we have won the argument and rewritten the terms starring in movies such as pierrot le fou and alphaville. of political debate. from the shadow chancellor this she was an important inspiration — morning, a fuller apology. professionally and personally — for one let me make it clear of france's best known directors, jean—luc godard. that it is on me, it is on me, let's take it on the chin. i own this disaster. the two married in 1961, but again, a belief that the core though they divorced in 1965. message was a good one. they made numerous films together, and other factors including, le petit soldat — were also to blame. in which she played i think it was brexit that did it. a pro—algeria activist — une femme est une femme, we were in this dilemma, through to made in usa. we couldn't move either way anna karina was also known or if we did and we tried to compromise, it didn't work. as a singer, and in particular, that is the first thing. the second, we have to recognise for her pop hits with serge that, look, the media did a number onjeremy forfour years solid, everyday. gainsbourg. attention is now turning to the election of the next labour leader, early next year. many, including john mcdonnell, think it should be a woman. some argue it should be someone who represents a break with the current leadership. wigan mp, lisa nandy, anna karina, who has died at the age says she is seriously considering running. of 79. time for a look at the weather
5:04 pm
with matt taylor. we have to think seriously about how we rebuild that coalition that has 0nce propelled us into power three times once again that this evening, the in the last 100 years. showers are developing quite widely, the lewishams and the leighs some heavy with hell, gusty winds and how you speak for both. i think i definitely too. wintry over higher ground. have a contribution to make, i come from one part of that coalition, i have lived showers continue overnight, in and represented another part increasing ice risk towards it on as for the last decade. well. these evening, as showers before that election, it is back develop more widely through the to business in the commons. later this week, it is the queen's hills of wales, northern ireland, speech and shortly after that, scotland, likely to see a coating of borisjohnson‘s brexit deal snow once again. greatest risk of is expected to be passed by mps. ice to the north. while there are our intention is to bring still guilds across the west, the withdrawal bill, the legislation, back slightly lighter winds further east, to parliament before christmas. this week? temperatures widely down to single figures, if not below freezing, as ideally before christmas, as as soon was that the new week. it does start as possible would be perfect. 0bviously those conversations are happening between the relevant ona was that the new week. it does start on a chilly note, temperatures down parties and the house authorities through the week, it will turn as we speak. but it is not all plain sailing wetter and windier and more widely for the conservatives. once again. into monday morning, even without brexit, there is a looming row with the other big winners on thursday, the snp. there will be and ives riskjust they want another about anywhere, a few showers in the independence referendum. borisjohnson has ruled it out.
5:05 pm
morning. still pretty gusty winds up if he thinks saying no is the end of the matter, towards the west. while there are a than he is going to find himself few morning showers across england completely and utterly and wales, few overall compared to wrong and he cannot, today, the windier it will be much as i was saying yesterday and again lighter but it is still going to be it is quite a fundamental point of democracy, you cannot hold a pretty chilly day, the chance of scotland in the union 10 celsius in the south. sunshine against its will. as a new crop of mps prepare to take their seats, turns hazy later, maine gets close the only certainty is that more to the channel islands towards the tough decisions lie ahead. afternoon. remo is that you advance tony bonsignore, bbc news. out of france by the night. the rain a little earlier i spoke to dominic grieve, a former arrives on monday evening, then it conservative mp, who stood should hopefully play a little bit earlier as a head into tuesday for as an independent in the election. stop either way, still a fairly he explained why he believes labour cloudy and damp start for east lost traditional northern heartland seats to the conservatives, anglia use. elsewhere, could be dense fog patches to begin with, for the first time in decades. some breaks developing, sunny spells through the day but still a fairly i think people in this country, whatever their views, chilly day, temperatures in a single are basically very patriotic and i think that figures for many. a foggy start to jeremy corbyn was viewed
5:06 pm
as being unpatriotic. wear his day. while north an easton a person who would jeopardise area stayed dry and sunny, it will turn wetter and windier to the west, the future of the country economically, with what was seen heavy rain at times, temperatures rise a bit even though it's an area to be wacky policies. still only around 3 or four celsius. and that is what came across to me, that with the weather pushes northwards before coming more unlike 2017 where he got quite extensive through thursday and friday, with it, we will see is a considerable majority, labour got 12,000 votes there anything winds across the in my constituency on the back board too. of his being a sort of slightly cuddly grandpa figure, who was talking a different language from most politicians. you have a situation where the electorate is, in my view very, very rattled and cynical and unhappy on a large number of topics. and i think, as a consequence, they are looking for security and certainly labour was not offering any kind of security or any kind of narrative whatsoever. and i'm afraid the liberal democrats were not either on the national basis. what about the prospects for the party you were, for many years, a member of parliament for and indeed a government minister for in the last
5:07 pm
conservative government. do you see the potential here for the conservative party to be a much more national party than perhaps it has been for some time? it is certainly an english national party. the difficulty is it is not a united kingdom national party. and i think there are two big issues that are going to have to be confronted. the prime minister has a working majority to do anything he likes, but there are two major issues facing him. they are linked. the first one is what does this is bbc news i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 6... "get brexit done" mean jeremy corbyn apologises to supporters for labour's heavy defeat in the general election. the conservatives say they'll and if getting brexit done means commit to more spending the diminution the living on the nhs in england, standards of people and britain finding itself in a queen's speech next week. internationally isolated, how will people respond to that and what is the nature going to be the national health service of the negotiations over is the number one focus of this the next 12 months? that is the first thing. government when it comes the second thing is the union
5:08 pm
of the united kingdom to domestic policy. which is a point i made repeatedly, nicola sturgeon renews her call i know northern ireland for a second referendum and scotland very well. and my view is that they are on scottish independence, drifting away from the views that are held about europe and wider saying the people of scotland views i think on identity from england. and that calls into question mustn't be kept in the uk whether the united kingdom against their will. is going to survive. you cannotjust lock us now, as i have been a member, in a cupboard and turn the key as is the prime minister, and hope that everything goes away. of something called the conservative and unionist party. that is quite a challenging issue. and i'm not at all clear in my mind a marathon un climate summit how the prime minister in madrid ends in a compromise, intends to address that. leaving many delegates unhappy. there are millions of people all around the world, who are already suffering from the impacts of climate change. dominic grieve talking to me earlier. some breaking news. this is the case of the father and son who we re the case of the father and son who were attacked and apparently robbed, and attempt was made to rob them outside a hotel in one series earlier. the man has been named as a
5:09 pm
businessman from northamptonshire. the other man who was injured was his stepson. they were attacked as you may have seen from the pictures we have been running, outside the hotel. someone appeared to rob them and when they resisted, and got into and when they resisted, and got into a scuffle, one of the people who attack them pulls out, appears to pull out a gun and shoots matthew gibbard. the younger man survived and is receiving hospital treatment. the victim is named as matthew gibbard, and his stepson. negotiators have reached a compromise at the un climate talks in madrid. they extended their stay in the spanish capital for two extra days to try to resolve divisions on how to implement the 2016
5:10 pm
paris climate agreement. 0ne contentious issue is how to compensate developing countries affected by climate change. the pacific island nation tuvalu accused the us of trying to block a deal. here's the negotiator, ian fry. if they get their way with the governance of the whim, they will wash their hands of any actions to assist countries which have been affected by the impacts of climate change. this is an absolute tragedy and a travesty on those affected by the impacts of climate change. there are millions of people all around the world, who are already suffering from the impacts of climate change. denying this fact could be interpreted by some as being a crime against humanity. 0ur environment correspondent, matt mcgrath,
5:11 pm
is at the conference in madrid. he explained what the stumbling blocks were to reaching agreement. the real difficulty here has been this question of ambition. how much do countries up their game, if you like, on what they promised in paris in 2015, to tackle the urgency of the science? all countries put a plan on the table in paris in 2015. some of them strong, some of them not so strong. the idea was they would come here to madrid and then onto glasgow next year and improve those plans. getting agreement on that proved very difficult. a lot of countries, the eu and small island states, were very keen on high ambition, getting up country to promise to do much more, much more quickly. others, including the united states and australia and brazil, were not so keen. ultimately, they made a compromise. there will be encouragement by all countries to address the gap between what the science is telling us, and what the emissions plans at the moment are doing. that should lead to some more improved plans on the table
5:12 pm
by the end of next year. a lot of criticism presumably for that wording from campaign organisers? that is right. a lot of campaigners are very unhappy. they think it is a missed opportunity here in madrid. they had hoped that given the presence of the, of greta thunberg, they hope hoped that the science and the marches in the streets, countries would seize the moment and step forward boldly but the reality is it is a 200 country process. nothing is agreed, it is by unanimity, and countries can block things and block certainly did. some of the bigger country did a lot of blocking others particular conference. ultimately though they kept the show on the road. it lives to fight again, that will be in glasgow next year. and hope among many campaigners is that the uk government can steer a better ship than perhaps was done here under the presidency of chile. professor sir david king is the former climate change ambassador and chief scientist for the uk
5:13 pm
during the paris climate accord in 2015. thank you very much for being with us. thank you very much for being with us. are you disappointed by the outcome or relieved that there was an outcome at all? massively disappointed. this is the very last time when we should be seeing delays on reducing emissions. what the ipcc report said was well have used up oui’ report said was well have used up our budget to stay below 1.5 degrees in with a 67% chance within 8—10 yea rs. actually in with a 67% chance within 8—10 years. actually emissions are going up years. actually emissions are going up very much more quickly than anticipated rather than even slowing down or flattening out. anticipated rather than even slowing down orflattening out. we anticipated rather than even slowing down or flattening out. we should anticipated rather than even slowing down orflattening out. we should be seeing a deep and rapid emissions reduction. and it should be led of course by the developed nations.
5:14 pm
what we have is some good examples, i would not say there are any excellent exa m ples, i would not say there are any excellent examples, but the european union on thursday got, announced an agreement to reduce emissions to net zero by 2050 which is the british government's position. however, even for reducing for the developed world to reduce net emissions to zero, by 2050, is not going to be nearly enough. what we have to recognise in the developed world is that we can afford to make the transition much more quickly than other countries can. we have already made very big contributions not through the climate change negotiations, but through agreements amongst nations, for example we began in europe with germany right back in 1989 with feeding tariffs to allow the
5:15 pm
deployment at large—scale of wind turbines and even though they were then not at all cost effective, now for the whole world, we have wind turbines, even offshore wind and solar panels, providing energy more quickly than gas—fired turbines. we lead that all the way through and today we are standing back. we, i mean the developed world as a whole. my mean the developed world as a whole. my position is that to be realistic, knowing what the united states position is, trump has made his position is, trump has made his position very clear, we could not have reached a good agreement at this meeting in madrid. we could not have done it because when the world's biggest and most powerful nation, by biggest i mean economically, does not lead on the
5:16 pm
agreement, let alone support it, what we get is other naysayers as you heard purcell led by bolsonaro and australia unfortunately following suit. —— as you heard brazil. the united states arrived with maybe a delegates who spend their time going around the meetings to discuss one—on—one with other countries, to try and persuade them not to take action. that is a very powerful force. what i not to take action. that is a very powerfulforce. what i believe is the way forward in the run—up to the glasgow meeting next year in november, is that the coalition of the willing nations should be expanded rapidly beyond europe and include the states of... ten or 12 states in the united states, but
5:17 pm
forming a coalition of the willing, in the run—up to the madrid. forming a coalition of the willing, in the run-up to the madrid. in other words, the process has almost become an obstacle to getting progress? that is absolutely right. you will remember we believe we could get an agreement in copenhagen and at the time of the copenhagen agreement, we had president bush in the presidency in the united states and we knew in advance that president bush would not sign an agreement. we also knew china said if bush does not sign we don't sign and there was no possibility of an agreement at copenhagen. the whole meeting process becomes a farce. we get all sorts of speeches being made but no attempt at making the kind of rapid progress that we all understand is needed. if i can also add, today, we arejust understand is needed. if i can also add, today, we are just over1 degrees over the preindustrial level
5:18 pm
and at this level, the situation is actually already dire. we know that there is inertia in the climate system, there is inertia in the climate syste m , eve n there is inertia in the climate system, even if we were to stop greenhouse gases in their tracks where they are now, the temperatures would still rise, sea levels would still rise for the next 20 or 30 yea rs. still rise for the next 20 or 30 years. so we are already seeing massive risks from this. the arctic cic and the arctic summer has melted, causing a blue sea of the arctic to soak up sunshine and the arctic to soak up sunshine and the arctic circle region is now heating up arctic circle region is now heating up 2.5times arctic circle region is now heating up 2.5 times the rest of the planet and sitting in the arctic sea is greenland and when all the ice on greenland and when all the ice on greenland melt, global sea levels will rise by seven metres. now, seven metres means almost every city on coastlines will be underwater. even one or two metres is going to
5:19 pm
make city like calcutta well under before then, but even cities like new york and london, shanghai will be virtually under water at that point. david, we have to leave it there, said david can, thank you very much for your thoughts. a man is in a critical condition in hospital, after being shot by armed police in hull. officers were called out to a man believed to be in possession of a firearm in the early hours of this morning. crispin rolfe reports. one of hull's main streets, hessle road, shut after police shot a man reported to be carrying a firearm. the man at the centre of this incident is now, police say, in a critical condition in hospital, after being shot by officers in the early hours of the morning. as is standard practice, this is now being referred to the independent 0ffice of police conduct as further investigations continue. all i've heard is that they shot
5:20 pm
somebody in the middle of the night, about 2am. if he's been waving a gun about, that's the only thing they could do. shocking in this day and age, but you get used to it, don't you? you hear it every other week on the news now, but obviously not down hessle road. it's not very good, i mean, i was born on hessle road, my mum was as well. to see something like this, it is terrible. no—one else was injured in the incident, which police say they don't believe to have any connection to terrorism. new train timetables were brought in today and according to train companies it's all running smoothly. robert nisbet, director of nations and regions at the rail delivery group which represents the train companies said: "the vast majority of trains are running and arriving as planned. in a small number of places, there has been some disruption due to train crew shortages and slightly overrunning engineering work this morning." but some train operators have warned the real test will come tomorrow when the weekday service kicks in.
5:21 pm
it's coming up to christmas so that means it's also time for the annual bbc sports personality of the year awards. stars from across the sporting world will gather in aberdeen tonight to celebrate a memorable 12 months. our sports correspondentjoe wilson is there for us. quite an impressive shortlist of potential winners of the word sef plus some other awards announced? absolutely. we are here on the red carpet in aberdeen shortly before the show begins on bbc one at 7pm and it is kind of like a competitive sport in its own right every year but the challenge of sports personality i think is trying to differentiate between a number of people whose individual performances are all outstanding in their own right. 0n the shortlist for example
5:22 pm
we have two world athletics gold medallists in dina asher—smith who broke new ground, katarina johnson—thompson who won her heptathlete on, then you have alun wynjones, a towering leaderfor welsh rugby as they won the six nations grand slam, lewis hamilton, 110w nations grand slam, lewis hamilton, now six times formula 1 world champion only michael schumacher ahead of him. sterling who proved himself one of the best footballers in europe, may be the world, —— raheem sterling. then ben stokes hooper‘s produced memorable performances in the world cup and headingley. we will decide that via a public vote. this election always happens in december. thank you very much, often a controversial one, we will see what emerges. we will hopefully talk to you in the next hour.
5:23 pm
around 2,000 properties are still without water in and around leighton linslade in bedfordshire, after supplies failed on friday night. an initial problem, caused by a broken valve, has been fixed. but anglian water says air trapped in pipes means supplies haven't been restored in some areas. jenny kirk reports. queues at tesco today, but these aren't christmas shoppers. i wasn't even aware that this water station was around, so this is my first trip. i'm guessing one of many. around 20,000 homes were left without water when the problem started on friday evening. a faulty valve was found and repaired, but this morning, 5000 people were still not reconnected. businesses have been hit hard, forced to close at what should be a busy time of the year. the owners of the white horse pub and b&b have said it has cost them thousands in lost trade.
5:24 pm
also close, the nearby rustico italian bistro, which is had to cancel a christmas party of 20 planned for tonight. we have a business to run first, but i'm looking at all the families around the area, maybe with kids as well or old people, water is a primary need and we really need it. an air lock is unusual and very difficult to resolve. first you need to find and remove it from the network. that is why we have had teams today literally walking the network to try and find that airlock and remove it. to help the most vulnerable people, tankers were brought in pumping drinking water directly into the mains. after two days without water, this care home was giving its own supply from a 9000 litre tank. anglian water has apologised. one of the people injured in last week's volcanic eruption on white island in new zealand has now died in hospital in sydney.
5:25 pm
it brings the confirmed death toll to 16. rescue teams returned to white island, earlier today, but didn't find the bodies of two people who are still missing. 0ur correspondent, phil mercer, is following the story from sydney. 18 people now have been confirmed dead in the disaster that struck on monday at white island in the bay of plenty, just off new zealand's north island. those recovery teams returned to the volcanic island today, sunday, to once again look for two bodies. there are two more victims who have been unaccounted for. authorities have been working on the theory that one of those bodies may well be near the crater, and another was apparently seen in the water, 2a hours after the eruption. so, on friday, recovery teams brought out six bodies, but the search goes on for those two others. that search includes people being flown to the island to carry
5:26 pm
out this painstaking search. this it is a very risky environment still. there is a risk of further eruptions and police and navy divers have been in the contaminated water off white island, searching unsuccessfully for one of those two remaining victims. at 11 minutes past two in the afternoon tomorrow in new zealand, the prime ministerjacinda ardern is hoping new zealand will pause for one minute, to remember those victims. will pause for one minute, at the moment, 18 people have been confirmed to have died. about 20 people remain in intensive care here in australia and new zealand. some of those survivors have the most appalling injuries, suffering burns of up to 90% of their bodies. also, internal burns too. it is a great challenge for skilled professionals in new zealand, and australia, to keep those people alive and help them recover.
5:27 pm
on monday, just after 2pm in the afternoon, new zealand and people elsewhere will pause to remember a tragedy that took place exactly one week ago when that minute silence is observed. a 5.3 magnitude earthquake has hit the philippines, in the same region struck by a powerful earthquake earlier today which killed a six—year—old girl. a wall collapsed on her, during the 6.8 magnitude quake near the southern city of davao. dozens of people have been injured and there are reports some people remain trapped inside a large market building. a large—scale search and rescue operation is underway. at least six people have died in india during protests over a controversial citizenship law. the violence has been worst in the north east, but the capital, delhi, has also been hit by unrest where vehicles have been torched. the new law grants migrants from three countries citizenship, if they are facing religious persecution, but excludes muslims. the uk has warned people against travelling to north—east
5:28 pm
india, due to safety concerns. the israeli authorities have told christians living in the gaza strip that they will not be able to travel to bethlehem in the west bank to celebrate christmas. there are about 1000, mostly greek orthodox, christians living in the strip, which is controlled by the palestinian group hamas. israel has cited security concerns for its decision. hamas, israeli rights groups and church leaders have all condemned the move. cruelty—free fake leathers aren't always the best choice for the environment, as they usually involve some kind of plastic. but now, a bag design firm in the east of england thinks they've found a more environmentally friendly option — using pineapples. lee madden reports. picking pineapples can be arduous, heavy work, often with little reward. the price paid for each individual fruit is a fraction of a penny. the leaves from pineapple plants are usually thrown away. a use for them is now being found,
5:29 pm
turning the leaves into fabric which provides some extra income for workers. i think everybody was quite surprised that the fabric was made of pineapple, because it does not smell like pineapple. it's not spiky, and it's got a nice texture to it. so yes, it is quite an unusual thing to be working with. to make the fabric, fibres are extracted from the leaves. these get sent from the philippines to spain and once there, machinists complete the process of turning them into a material, which has been named pinatex. an online shop based in cambridge has begun using pinatex to create handbag satchels and purses. i don't think we are jumping on any form of trend, i think it's a personal responsibility to look at how we consume products across—the—board, not just in fashion and that's something that we would like to help
5:30 pm
provide an option for our clients and customers. the vegan label means it does not use or contain any animal products. people are, you know, loving that it is vegan. it is just amazing. really, really pleased that something else is being used and it is so easy to work with, really. and these are the finished bags. if you want one, they will set you back around £137. the texture is slightly crinkled, not too different to some leathers. as manufacturers become more confident using the material, it is hoped more items will be made out of it in future, making use of pineapple leaves that were otherwise destined to be wasted. taylor swift has announced she'll be headlining glastonbury festival next year. the american superstar has just tweeted to say she'll be performing on the sunday night for the event's 50th anniversary.
5:31 pm
in a moment, viewers on bbc one willjoin us for a round—up of the news with reeta chakrabarti. but first, it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith—lucas. hello. it has been a blustery, chilly and showery weekend. some of the showers have been falling as snow over higher ground in the north. further south, we have had rain and hail. this is the picture from devon recently. we have had some big showers, some heavy hail as well and the odd rumble of thunder which is now pushing its way further eastwards. through this week, still unsettled so a mix of sunshine and showers. wednesday probably looking like the drier day before things turned milder and windier once again towards the latter part of this coming week. but into the evening, heavy showers with some hill snow and some hail push eastwards across the uk. could be some ice for parts of northern england and southern scotland in particular with some snow over the higher ground, too. temperatures across northern areas falling to freezing or a little below but staying above freezing further south. you've got enough of a breeze to keep things largely frost free, monday morning. monday brings us a day
5:32 pm
of sunshine and showers. fewer showers than we have seen around today. most of those will be pushing on across northern ireland and western scotland where, once again, they will fall as snow over the higher ground. much of england and wales having a largely dry day, less windy than the weekend. some sunshine, but clouding over towards the south east later in the day with the odd spot of rain possible thanks to this front which looks like it pushes its way northwards and then eastwards as we head on into tuesday. elsewhere, tuesday morning away from the south—east we are likely to see conditions a little bit like this. some mist and some fog likely with clearer skies and lighter winds. mist and fog clear away through the day on tuesday of rain also clearing in the south—east it should be mostly dry with some sunshine by the afternoon, still rather chilly though with temperatures in the single figures. about 4 to 9 degrees for most of us on tuesday. into the middle of the week and there is a ridge of high pressure which will quieten things down as we move on into wednesday. i think it would be quite a cold start to wednesday morning some frost and also the odd misty patch.
5:33 pm
so scenes a little bit like this first thing wednesday morning. the first and and this should clear away quickly and then a largely dry, sunny day in store for wednesday before it turns wet and windy for the west once again so some rain for south—west england, wales and northern ireland later in the day. further north and east you should state largely dry. temperatures about four to 10 degrees, turning rather for the south—west. milder for the south—west. still unsettled as we look towards the end of the week but not as windy, milder than it has been this weekend. bye for now.
5:34 pm

robbery in argentina. and it's one of the biggest nights in the sporting calendar — so which of these six will be crowned sports personality of the year? good afternoon. labour's leaderjeremy corbyn and the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell have apologised for the party's defeat in thursday's election, which saw them lose 59 seats. mr corbyn said he was sorry they "came up short", while mr mcdonnell said he "owns this disaster". speaking to the bbc‘s andrew marr, he said it was unfortunate the party hadn't been able to articulate its message more effectively. he also blamed the media's portrayal ofjeremy corbyn — insisting that he'd been demonised "for four years solid". here's our political

correspondent nick eardley. thejeremy corbyn era is coming to an end. but what will that mean for labour? how much does the party need to change after its disastrous election? this morning, mr corbyn said he took his share of responsibility. his right—hand man went further. it's on me, it's on me, let's take it on the chin. i own this disaster, so i apologise. i apologise to all those wonderful labour mps who have lost their seats who worked so hard. i apologise to all our campaigners. but that apology only goes so far. the outgoing leadership say they made mistakes but they blame brexit, believe they were demonised by the media, and insist their radical policy agenda was popular. if there was one criticism, this is a self—criticism, it is not having a narrative that convinced people about how this all fitted together. the battle for the labour leadership is likely to be bruising because there are vastly different interpretations of what went wrong.
5:38 pm
some want a leader who will continue with mr corbyn‘s message butjust find a better way of selling it. others want a leader who will drag the party back to the political centre. others still want a leader who can appeal to the north, who can say to those labour voters who abandoned the party for the conservatives over brexit, "we understand you." the wigan mp lisa nandy says she's thinking about running. we've just had the most shattering defeat where you really felt towns like mine that the earth was quaking and we've watched the entire labour base just crumble beneath our feet. we have to think seriously about how we rebuild that coalition that has propelled us into power three times in the last 100 years. the lewishams and the leighs and how you how you speak to both. you how you speak for both. cheering there are other big ramifications from thursday's vote too. independence has shot up the agenda after the snp's victory in scotland.

the uk government says the last independence vote should be respected. nicola sturgeon says she has a mandate for a new one. you cannot hold scotland in the union against its will. you cannotjust lock us in a cupboard and turn the key and hope that everything goes away. if the union, if the united kingdom is to continue, then that can only be by consent. boris johnson's government, meanwhile, prepares to get down to business. on thursday there will be a queen's speech with a focus on the nhs and, yes, delivering brexit next month. our intention is to bring the withdrawal bill, the legislation, back to parliament before christmas. this week? ideally before christmas. as soon as possible would be perfect. new mps will start to arrive here tomorrow to a very different political landscape. some questions like, will brexit happen? have been answered. others, like the future of labour, and perhaps the uk, are being asked as loudly as ever.
5:40 pm
we canjoin nick in westminster we can join nick in westminster now. things are going to be very different in westminster when mps return to parliament, aren't they? aren't they just, they will feel like a very different place over the next few years. the biggest difference is you will not see those big parliamentary battles on brexit any more. that question was settled with the victory. the labour postmortem is not going to be quick, nor is it going to be easy. but it will start on tuesday when the parliamentary labour party meets for the first time since the election. jeremy corbyn has been invited to a nswer jeremy corbyn has been invited to answer questions from some very angry mps. the conservatives have a lot more power in this place now. but what we didn't get from boris johnson during the election was a comprehensive programme for the next five years. some of that is still unclear. we know that his queen's speech on thursday will include some familiar themes, things like getting

the hope had been to speed up the fight against rising temperatures. instead, the talks limped to a compromise that left many unhappy. especially the island nations that fear for their futures. i'm exhausted. ifeel like much, much more could have been done. and i'm thinking about how i'm going to go home and explain that this was a really, really challenging process, especially for the island states and other developing nations. the gasses driving up temperatures are being blasted out in ever greater quantities. and the most vulnerable countries were banking on getting new promises to cut these emissions. their worry is that a hotter world will see more melting of the ice caps and a higher sea level coastlines around the world. the

whole point of these talks over the last quarter of a century has been to try to stop global temperatures from rising to dangerous levels. the world has already warmed byjust over one celsius over the last 150 yea rs. and a rise of up to 1.5 degrees is regarded as the maximum safe limit. but even with all the pledges that countries have made on climate change, we are still heading for an increase of at least three degrees despite all these conferences. so, what happens now? the world's biggest polluter china is still using coal, the dirtiest kind of fuel, and has plans to burn a lot more of it. but there are hints that next year we will see a greener chinese policy emerge. applause that would help the uk. the former minister clare 0'neil is now in the chair of the minister clare 0'neil is now in the chairof the un minister clare 0'neil is now in the chair of the un process. she'll need plenty of support ahead of the next summit due in glasgow next november. 0ne summit due in glasgow next november. one of the things at this moment which made it more difficult for the uk is the fact they have a much
