denying this fact could be interpreted by some as being a crime against humanity. a british man has been killed and his son wounded, after being shot during a suspected robbery, outside a five—star hotel in buenos aires. around 2,000 properties are still without water in and around bedfordshire, after supplies failed on friday night. and, who will win? sport stars from around the world gather in aberdeen for this year's bbc sport personality of the year. good evening. labour's leader, jeremy corbyn,

and the shadow chancellor, john 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. 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 in 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 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. borisjohnson‘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. jill rutter is from the think tank uk in a changing europe. she's also a former senior civil servant who worked across a number of departments and also number 10. she told me that borisjohnson‘s huge majority means he will have no problem getting his eu deal through by the january deadline. he can be pretty confident he'll get his legislation through by the end of january. the european parliament will ratify the deal. we saw at the european council on friday that the leaders now

are keen to get on with it. they've got a government with a big majority, they want to move on as well. so... so 31st ofjanuary is a done deal? ithink... 31st of january, i think it's pretty much a done deal. and then the next problem is trade relationship. there seem to be different interpretations of this. some seem to think that mrjohnson, because he has this huge parliamentary majority, can now pretty much play this as he'd like. and that his instincts are more towards a softer brexit than threatening to leave without a trade deal agreed at the end of the year. others think that actually he's in his pomp, and being in his pomp at the strongest point in any prime minister's premiership, that he actually can afford to play hardball. what would be your perception on that? the truth is we don't know. the conservative manifesto, for all it was about getting brexit done, was incredibly vague about the future relationship. it just set out what we didn't want. no single market, no customs union, no extension to the deadline. and i think... we've seen that the prime minister isn't necessarily bound by his commitments, but that was setting us towards the course of a pretty loose

relationship with the eu. bizarrely, for a conservative manifesto, it didn't mention security cooperation. that's the other big thing we need to negotiate, it wasn't mentioned at all. there are people, i think, who are saying he can now face down the... i think what is true is it's down to the prime minister. i mean, this is very much his government, it's his triumph. and certainly for the next couple of years, he is in command. so, if he wants to move towards a softer brexit, he could. but, actually, there's no real evidence he wants to. after all, he resigned over theresa may's deal. theresa may's deal was the door to a softer brexit if he wanted it and he decided to eject himself out of government, rather than go through that door with her. let's talk about something else there's a lot of coverage of in the newspapers this morning, which will have come, doubtless, out of number 10 briefings, and that is that the prime minister is being encouraged to think radical thoughts about whitehall. he's not the first prime minister of recent years to talk about thinking radical thoughts about whitehall. they often don't come to anything. what's your reading of it,

given that he also has in his office, dominic cummings, who had such an interesting experience when he worked as a special adviser for michael gove in the coalition government? we've all sort of slightly known that dominic cummings is keen on reforming whitehall, so dominic cummings is keen on reforming the civil service. they are two things, one of which is their a big agenda about civil service reform, bringing in more business people, more sort of political appointments. so you get more people who are supportive of the government's agenda rather than impartial civil service. quite a big constitutional change. that may be the cummings agenda. he also wants more people, usually with a science background, cos he thinks that whitehall is too dominated by fluffy social scientists and arts and humanities graduates and he has actually has got a point about that, so let's concede that to dominic. i think the other thing is whether there are going to be a very big machinery of government changes. the un climate talks in madrid have ended with delegates agreeing that all countries will put new, tougher carbon—cutting plans

on the table in time for another major conference in glasgow next year. the deal is being seen as a compromise — negotiators spent an extra two days and nights in talks, trying to resolve differences. 0ur science editor david shukman has the details. we are starting to get a little lost. we are kind of lost. 0k. confusion and fatigue, after the longest session of climate negotiations on record. we are a little confused about what documents are being discussed. 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 threatening 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 years. 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 un process. she'll need plenty of support ahead of the next 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 tighter set of negotiating items they will have to deal with next year but the actual lift in terms of delivering more action was always going to be a big lift and they can't do it on their own. and all the time, reminders of the threat. australia is enduring unprecedented bushfires and the coming days there could also see record heat. david shukman, bbc news. laurence tubiana is one of the architects of the paris climate treaty that came into force in 2016. shejoins me now from paris.

what is your assessment of the outcome of the madrid talks? to be honest it is really very insufficient. from this point of view, it is a missed opportunity, we could have done much better work and signalled much stronger to countries that have to deliver better plans for next year. the story does not end here of course and now with international pressure, action of the national cities, business, civil society, we can hope that countries would be serious next year and come with better plans. but it is a missed opportunity, and the countries who blocked were aggressively blocking the ambition,

who are certainly the ones we have to talk to, all along the year. was the process already fundamentally undermined by the us decision to pull out? of course, it is not good news that the us is pulling out and the us has not been particularly constructive during the last two weeks. and of course that influences countries like brazil or australia to try to go backwards. the good thing is that at least a number of other countries in latin america, africa, less developed countries in europe, have sped up and said they did not want to accept anything. for example, very bad rules for the current market which have been adopted, which have undermined, at least there is a strong resistance andi least there is a strong resistance and i think what is important particularly for the uk government, is to really start an intensive

diplomatic effort to really prepare and rally the countries and to make them understand that next year, they have to come with much better plans for 2030 and 2050. one hour earlier i spoke to professor sir david king who was the adviser to the uk government and has been a big campaigner in this country and trying to mitigate the worst effects of climate change. he said that it is the process which has become an obstacle is the process which has become an o bsta cle to is the process which has become an obstacle to progress and that it would be better to pursue other arrangements, not least the bilateral agreements between for example some united states states and individual countries, what do you make of that argument?” and individual countries, what do you make of that argument? i think there is not one process that can deliver on climate action, even the paris agreement was not meant to solve it by itself. we need an international movement where the

rescue international movement where the rescu e pressure international movement where the rescue pressure and in a way the corporation cooperation started every time. we have to really, the development banks, the bilateral relations, security, whatever, we have to exert pressure on putting climate really on the high level of the agenda everywhere. so i do not think there is one process that will deliver the problem. the problem is across—the—board, very deliver the problem. the problem is across—the—boa rd, very complicated, across—the—boa rd, very complicated, a lot of movements against climate action. we have to look at national, regional and international level. we have to mobilise the forces everywhere. it might not be possible to change donald trump's mind but there are other politicians who have been sceptical about climate change might be persuadable. i think the country that most leaps to mind as australia. where the government has

set its face against the idea that climate change could have anything to do with the current extreme weather australia is experiencing. what would you say to a sceptical politician in a country like australia? if i had the opportunity to visit and talk to the show you government, i would just say, look at your provinces, already three or four, almost five declared they want to be carbon neutral by 2050. i understand the last one is trying to make plans for it. i hope these provinces will be in glasgow next year. the public opinion in australia is certainly going in the other direction, it is a force argument the government of australia is presenting that socialjustice was going against climate justice andi was going against climate justice and i think that now more and more people recognise that that as a wrong argument. thank you very much for talking to us in paris this

evening. hopefully this is a bump in the road rather than a serious obstacle the road rather than a serious o bsta cle to the road rather than a serious obstacle to progress in glasgow next year. it is always very bumpy. the headlines on bbc news... jeremy corbyn apologises for labour's heavy defeat in the general election. the conservatives say they'll commit to more spending on the nhs in england, in a queen's speech next week. nicola sturgeon renews her call for a second referendum on scottish independence, saying the people of scotland mustn't be kept in the union — against their will. a marathon un climate summit in madrid ends in a compromise, leaving many delegates unhappy. a british man, shot and killed during a robbery in argentina, is understood to be 50—year—old matthew gibbard from northamptonshire. his stepson, stefan zone, is also thought to have been wounded.

it happened outside a five—star hotel in the capital buenos aires. here's our correspondent angus crawford. moments before a brutal attack in broad daylight. see the white minibus. matthew gibbard, stefan zone and theirfamily are inside. the driver moves to get their luggage. no one notices the man on the motorbike. at the top of the screen, his accomplice attracts his accomplice attacks the tourists who fight back. what happens next is too distressing to show. it took place yesterday morning, in one of buenos aires most affluent neighbourhoods outside the 5—star faena art hotel. mr gibbard died in hospital. mr zone, shot in the fire, is in a serious condition. the foreign office says it's supporting their family and helping the authorities. the attackers fled on a motorbike. police have made no arrests. a life cut short in a senseless act of violence.

angus crawford, bbc news. 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 somebody during 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. one of the people injured in last week's volcanic eruption on white island in new zealand has now died in hospital in sydney. it brings the confirmed death toll to sixteen. rescue teams returned to white island earlier today but didn't find the bodies of two people who are still missing. 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. 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, elm lodge care home was giving its own supply from a 9000 litre tank. anglian water has apologised. china's state broadcaster has cancelled the screening of arsenal's match against manchester city this afternoon, after the arsenal midfielder mesut 0zil criticised the chinese government's treatment of uighur muslims. 0zil used instagram to say that muslims were being sent to camps in shin—jiang. arsenal insisted the comments were just 0zil s personal opinion. earlier our asia pacific editor michael bristow explained why china are annoyed with the comments. xinjiang, the topic mesut ozil was talking about, very critical about what china has been doing there. up to perhapsi million people put in detention centres and re—education centres as china tries to crack down on what it says

is terrorism in the region. so, it doesn't like any comment on that, particularly recently, it has raised a lot of international criticism on this issue. china have pushed back against that, it doesn't want anyone commenting upon it. you might say, why is it getting annoyed about a footballer? it is because they don't like anyone commenting on politics, it is notjust politicians or nations or even companies, they don't want anyone commenting on what it does in its own country. that is why it has got so annoyed. it doesn't seem to have been enough for the chinese that arsenal really hastily distanced themselves from these comments.
