10:07 am
news. tell us what the authorities now hand over to katie who will offer a quick summary. i think it is coming into force the following are saying. the authorities are friday. the decisions will be we can now talk to our political important for people to realise how reviewed each week and the next treating this as a terrorist attack. correspondent helen catt. reviewed each week and the next review will be on november ten, unprecedented this report is. and coming into force on november 13. we the wheels have been put in motion, how rare it is the ehrc to issue keir starmer is repeatedly questioned in that report as to why knew that nicola sturgeon had set legally, and this is being looked he is not going to take action unlawful act notices and impose out a broad plan of new tiers, but into by investigators for the against the former leader. keir action plans already party being anti—terror unit here in france. we've also heard from the mayor of starmer described this as a day of shame for the labour party and said investigated. the closest example is she has also confirmed that these he had never foreseen the recent investigation into the nice, who has been equally calling shame for the labour party and said he had neverforeseen the shame for the labour party and said he had never foreseen the situation where labour would be found to be restrictions will come in on monday, breaching the equalities and most —— metropolitan police, even the central belt, dundee, inverclyde legislation that it itself introduced and i think that is though the ehrc made far—reaching and ayrshire will be placed into this a terrorist attack and called for all places of worship in the something that a lot of labour recommendations, it did not go as level three, aberdeenshire, fife, city to be closed. france is heading members will certainly feel. he had faras recommendations, it did not go as far as saying that the metropolitan the borders, dumfries and galloway level two in the highlands and much a lot of tough words on this, he police had breached legislation did into a new national lockdown but you of the islands in level one. those said that the report was clear and not issue notices. it has done here, can imagine as restrictions are are the details reported at the going to be even tighter. the i don't think that shows the extent moment. we will bring you more stark, there was no room for of the problem within the labour details when we can. equivocation, he set out some of the party. other people have already president has been holding an practical things that the party was is europe heading emergency meeting, initially due to spoken and written about this in going to do, this idea of having an towards a second lockdown? detail, i thick it is worth discuss the new coronavirus lockdown action plan delivered within six well that is the route which comes into place in france at weeks and a lot of stress on this reminding ourselves what three the french government has just midnight thursday, at midnight being about his leadership, "under unlawful act the ehrc founded the taken, with germany also tightening restrictions and forcing bars tonight. the subject of that meeting labour party. the first is to be and restaurants to close, my leadership there will be zero along with gyms, cinemas, has been switched to this new terror tolerance, it will mean precisely theatres, while hotels can no attack, we understand the president that." "i hear you, i will act, the distinct findings of harassment longer welcome tourists. will be heading down to nice later which the labour party was legally the french president, today, clearly the government here responsible for. the reason that emmanuel macron told the nation party accepts this." so a sense of the current wave of cases has an awful lot on its hands but trying to draw a line and move on across europe would undoubtedly be they only identify these two
10:08 am
tensions have been running buddy but he immediately ran into problems harder and more deadly high in france since a teacher was examples of harassment is because in than the first wave. germany's chancellor angel merkel, because of the comments made earlier beheaded in france a few weeks ago, said, "we must act. the alert clearly now very high of the previous leaderjeremy corbyn the examples of ken livingstone, and we must act now." here's paul hawkins with the latest. so of the previous leaderjeremy corbyn so during his speech, sir keir still. we are hearing that the covid—19 daily deaths in france are starmer said that if after all the at the highest level since april. president emmanuel macron who is in on tuesday, 33 new cases pain and grief there are still those pat bromley, the labour party was were confirmed, though on wednesday, and other national the interior ministry at the moment who think there is no problem with in paris, the crisis talks are under anti—semitism and the party or that found... they were agents of the way there. the mayor of nice was it's all exaggerated or factional, lockdown was announced. labour party, but ehrc found many very quick to say that this was a more examples in the cases it you should be nowhere near the reviewed. these were in relation to terror attack, wasn't he? he was labour party. what was put to him indeed. you have to understand he is with a comments byjeremy corbyn in other members for which the labour translation: party was not legally responsible if today we do not push a brake on contamination, someone indeed. you have to understand he is someone who is very well known in which he said anyone claiming there is no anti—semitism is wrong, but he for because these people were not france, on the right—wing of the the agents of the labour party, but political spectrum, been very said the scale of the problem was a doctor will have to choose ehrc made clear that in all examples brutally between a person suffering critical of the government ‘s also dramatically overstated for from covid and someone suffering anti—terror strategy and wants the political reasons by our opponents of harassment and anti—semitism a traffic accident and anything that government to take a very firm hand inside and outside the party, as within the party, the labour party threatens values and what on this but having said that, from well as by the media. these were needed to take action, ——, it was the elements we know so far, this is what he has basing his statements france is unacceptable. on, he said the attack took place notjust needed to take action, ——, it was not just two examples. it also found within the church. reports say one immediate questions put to keir starmer in relation to whatjeremy there was indirect discrimination by woman was killed had her throat cut, corbyn has said, what action did he there was indirect discrimination by the political interference of the starting on friday, no—one can leave plan to take. he repeatedly did not home unless it is for essential she was beheaded, also to other leadership in 30% of cases it a nswer plan to take. he repeatedly did not answer that and said he needed to look at the comments in full but i reviewed. this was not a one—off work or medical reasons. people confirmed dead as well. the non—essential businesses such think there will certainly be a lot as restaurants and bars will close of pressure on sir keir starmer to incident, a regular event. the but schools and factories mayor has said the attackers were result of that was that it caused will stay open. it is a similar story in germany. respond in some way to those indirect discrimination of its it may have a lower infection rate
10:09 am
jewish members because jewish shouting god is great in arabic. than other parts of europe comments. it is a time when he is members were more likely to complain but the speed of the virus spreading these are the elements he's means another emergency lockdown of anti—semitism than trying to bring the party back will come into force from monday. together and surely he is not going nonjudgemental. the final breach of restaurants, gyms and leaders are too close, schools together and surely he is not going to be wanting to do anything that and kindergartens will remain open. reporting, we have seen recent would start another sort of major equalities legislation was to terror attacks in france since the indirect discrimination through satirical newspaper charlie hebdo eruption in the party so it's quite failure to have adequate training on anti—semitism for the people who published cartoons of the prophet a difficult position for him today, translation: i think there will be a lot of focus we re today has been mohammed which has caused a great anti—semitism for the people who were reviewing these cases. that was a difficult day for us to make these particularly important for my client deal of tension and was cited a few on what he does. he could remove the political decisions. i want to stress that whip from corbyn, based purely on because we know what we are asking weeks ago as the motive for killing from the public but we have to find jeremy corbyn's statement he has who was refused, the labour party the schoolteacher outside a per did not want to work with jlm, but a way to make sure we avoid issued today which many will find a national health emergency. school after he showed the cartoons ehrc has made clear they were while also ensuring that economic to his class. we are told the utterly extraordinary. there has already been reaction from former life continues as much as possible. chair of the due movement —— jewish implementing adequate training suspected attacker in this incident programmes, the labour party must the german government says it wants involve jewish stakeholders. we will families and friends to meet in nice has been shot and is now for christmas but not everyone detained. how clear is that whether now open to questions.” movement. there is already reaction agrees with that strategy. this person was acting alone? we coming into that. there will be a involve jewish stakeholders. we will now open to questions. i haven't translation: don't know. 0fficers order we will work through to get this person was acting alone? we don't know. officers are saying they i don't think are possibly looking into the through questions. is there anyone from the bbc? from what keir starmer the aim should be focusing mixed reaction in labour circles. it possibility that the attacker had is something keir starmer is going on certain holidays like christmas. accomplices, it's very early stages from a pandemic point to have to address because it has of view and with the fight at the moment. we know police say been put to him so many times at against the pandemic in mind, that press conference that he is that is far—fetched. they neutralise the attacker but we will have to deal with that next that doesn't mean at this stage that going to need an answer and one he has been killed, we believe he said in the last hour, doesn't go christmas and the one after. which he can explain to all parts of far enough? let me make this clear — has been injured and transported to the party as to what he does in this is about a long—term

to make any complaints which might since hurricane katrina tore apart problem for them, there are lots of trigger a new formal process, like churches in nice and how do you new orleans, plunging the city under actually police all of them? water and earning thousands of homes certainly not all the time. however, jeremy corbyn's pros —— comments and livelihoods. more than 1500 today, particularly because he said during the day, we have them walk louisiana residents lost their lives and the shops are closed so we don't through the church at next to the know how everybody is coping and we because of katrina and for people that it was exaggerated or church. there is a degree of police don't want to go out, is it still like captain shaw, that memory has presence but i think it's very put climate change at the forefront difficult for them to do much more dangerous? i guess not because overstated problem and the party everything has been under control of their minds. before hurricane than that. we understand the attack but we don't know if we will be able when keir starmer specifically said katrina, a hurricane like this, they took place inside the church and that people like that do not have would warn you and tell you it was also near the church, the attacker any place in the party. secondly, coming, but it would have been, oh, to leave. one witness who lived near what is the task ahead in changing hurricane party. but since katrina, has been detained, the attacker people tend to be more on edge. i the wider culture in the party and a p pa re ntly has been detained, the attacker apparently shouting god is great in the attack. 0ur correspondent hugh think climate change is definitely having an effect. it's a fact that arabic. nice is a very big, schofield is in paris and brought us up—to—date with what the reaction in france has been so far. any disciplinary change, that there hurricanes are getting bigger, it's a fa ct multicultural, multiethnic, hurricanes are getting bigger, it's a fact that they are getting multireligious city. how peaceable it's fair to say people are stronger and it's a fact that there digesting what has happened. might be some difficulty in the is it usually? very. and there is are more of them. we have broken emmanuel macron has been to the interior ministry, a short walk from current scenario. more records in the last ten years, might be some difficulty in the current scenario. what does it mean for members to accept the findings of this report? we will need some 50 yea rs his office. he walked into the more records in the last ten years, 50 years than ever before. climate not a sense of anxiety when you walk ministry to be at the emergency change in america's reliance on around. 0bviously, after the attack fossil fuels has been change in america's reliance on fossilfuels has been a major meeting there and then he is to fly talking point during this election in 2016, there was a lot more campaign, but here, where the
10:17 am
effects of that change are being down to nice to speak to police and time to process the entirety of the felt first—hand, there is a sense security and we did, for a long report in order to understand what time, have patrols of soldiers on that neither side is cutting the mayor and so on. politicians our next steps will be, both as the streets. the interesting thing, down there, the mayor told us —— the individuals and collectively as the through. if one of the candidates would directly address the climate though, is where the attack occurred jewish labour movement. 0ne is part of nice which is exemplified individuals and collectively as the jewish labour movement. one thing change and coastal erosion happening mayor is torn between emotion and a the report made incredibly clear was sense of horror and shock at what that the nile of anti—semitism and exemplifies the mixed religious has happened and anger. you can hear formed an existential part of the in louisiana, that would deftly persuade my vote for them. whether that from what he is saying. you and exemplifies the mixed religious and ethnic nature, just near there, problem in a dump itself, and denial there is a jewish school and also a hear from trump or biden, the president for that from what he is saying. you hearfrom a that from what he is saying. you of anti—semitism had a direct impact hear from a lot of people the sense the next four years, will play a muslim prayer hall. the difference critical role in the fight against that this has got to stop and that onjewish climate change. there has to be a reaction that is abraham nick fights are next to each of anti—semitism had a direct impact on jewish members and of anti—semitism had a direct impact onjewish members and indirect more thanjust there has to be a reaction that is more than just in words, that there discrimination. —— problem in and of has to be a change to the legal other and there is normally, as far itself. keir starmer‘s speech made asi other and there is normally, as far framework, for example, so that as i can see, any tension. -- clear that any labour party member that engages in denial or seeks to people who encourage terrorism and diminish the impact of anti—semitism act in support of terrorists who abrahamic. we know there has been a onjewish diminish the impact of anti—semitism on jewish labour party reassertion to the right of freedom condemn and point the finger, who diminish the impact of anti—semitism onjewish labour party members has of expression, the secular values no place in the future of the labour keir starmer has apologised for the french republic is built upon, form part of this general ecology of following the beheading of the party. having made those statements, it is now for the labour party to labour's mishandling of anti—semitism. luciana berger was an terrorism can be brought more easily demonstrate that they are going to mp who left the party in the last teacher in a paris suburbs recently to book. a right—wing mp was saying because he had shown his pupils put them interaction. that will be year. what is your reaction to those pictures, the cartoons of the the first priority of the dues seeing this report? i'm grateful for labour movement in making sure prophet mohammed which for some on the television that the law the equalities and human rights happens, so we will be watching very muslims, are deeply offensive. what

10:24 am
specifically relating to its with some writers in the east but it treatment ofjewish people and won't last. all of the rain on the technically it false to the investigations unit. there is a whether it had discriminated west is going to be pushing across us west is going to be pushing across against, harassed or victimised us through the day, windy conditions whenever you are, the gusts whole catalogue of actions that the people on that basis. the report published today finds that it has to represented by the black circles and there are still policemen. labour party needs to take on the wa ke labour party needs to take on the we could even have severe gales there are still policemen wake of implementing those they will stop and i will read you just a across the northwest of scotland. little bit of what the summary of and the shops are closed so we don't need to reassess as a sir keir know how everybody is coping the report has to say. the that could well lead to some starmer has committed to today to and we don't want to go out, investigation has identified serious is it still dangerous? disruption with temperatures ten to investigate additional things that failings in leadership, says the have not yet happened. all of those 16 celsius in the south. 00:25:08,561 --> 2147483051:49:18,995 with keir starmer and his team. he 2147483051:49:18,995 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 needs to fix this. ehrc and an inadequate process for handling anti—semitism complaints mechanisms are available. i've left across the labour party. the report the labour party so i can't say has identified notable failure is in i guess not because everything has which path they will go down but been under control but we don't know certainly i will be looking very a system, they say, and the one that if we will be able to leave. it uses to resolve them, and there closely to the actions and outcomes in the wake of today's report. we re it uses to resolve them, and there were unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination for which the labour briefly, jeremy corbyn, no ijust want party is responsible. and it talks i just want to show you the live individuals were named and the about a culture within the party pictures. police have set up a labour party was not found guilty of which at best did not do enough to institutional racism so if it tries cordon, immersive presence, and emmanuel macron is due to be prevent anti—semitism and at worst to ta ke institutional racism so if it tries to take some form of action, it could end up in court and become could be seen to accept it. so this arriving in nice later today. we very messy which is a distraction from what labour wants to do now. by have had a number of statements from isa damning could be seen to accept it. so this is a damning verdict on a very difficult and toxic time for the international leaders, including the way of correction, two individuals

10:30 am
for the labour party. increasing from 1.15 to 1.56. and it suggests 96,000 people are now catching the virus every day. meanwhile, the whole of nottinghamshire will become the latest area in england to be put under the highest tier of coronavirus restrictions from tomorrow. the county joins large parts of northern england and the midlands in tier 3. and in wales, the welsh exams regulator is recommending gcse exams be scrapped in favour of assessments next summer, while some a—level papers would remain. qualifications wales said this was the best way of ensuring fairness to pupils. the scottish government has already made a similar move. the communities secretary, robertjenrick, has ruled out a national lockdown for now. we don't have a plan today to do a full national lockdown. we can see that there are arguments in favour of that in terms
10:31 am
of simplicity and clarity but there are very strong arguments against it as well. in that it is treating all parts of the country the same, places of the country where actually the virus is relatively controlled, albeit rising. and those parts of the country where it is very concentrated and that a full national lockdown would be destructive to people's lives and livelihoods and broader health and well— being so the government strategy remains that we will do everything we can to avoid that. that was the communities secretary, robertjenrick. let's get more on that now. we can speak to professor sir mark walport who is a member of the uk government's scientific advisory group for emergencies. thank you forjoining us. what sort of trajectory do you think england is on with regards to cases? the warning lights are all flashing red,
10:32 am
i'm afraid, with cases arising in all parts of the country. it is clear in some parts it is much worse but across the uk the reproduction number is going up, no doubt about that at all, and it's a very difficult challenges for policymakers but the truth is that early you stop the spread, the better your chances of getting the numbers under control. so i moved from tier1 to two year to tier 2 more readily? it is ultimately for policymakers, and we had from robert jenrick before. but the reality is, to control the coronavirus second wave, we have to do increase social distancing for we are about four weeks behind france, where the numbers are very bad indeed, so there are lessons to learn from what is happening in the rest of europe. in germany, where numbers are lower than the uk, they had 15,000 cases earlier in the week in one day, that they identified, they are adopting much stronger measures and the
10:33 am
chancellor angela merkel commented their test and trace system could no longer cope. it is difficult for that system to work when the numbers are very that system to work when the numbers are very high indeed so we need to get on top of the infection. but what is different this time compared with the peak we saw in april of this year? the difference is that, firstly we know much more about the infection itself and we are able to track numbers much better than we could before, when we didn't have a good test. secondly, we can look after people much better than before. but the reality is that compared to when the pandemic started, there are no cases of coronavirus seeded right across the country and indeed right across europe. so it is a perilous time. what's happening now is that the control measures. . . what's happening now is that the control measures... where is the reproduction number for the virus was somewhere between two and three,

where ten people would affect between 20 and 30 on average, now it is nearer to between one and two. so the risk is you have a prolonged and rather flat the risk is you have a prolonged and ratherflat epidemic, but the risk is you have a prolonged and rather flat epidemic, but you end the risk is you have a prolonged and ratherflat epidemic, but you end up with an awful lot of deaths because there are many vulnerable people that have not yet been infected. how would hospitals cope if it on untracked? the answer is that they are better at managing patients and we have the nightingale hospitals which we didn't have before. there are relatively fewer patients that need ventilation as doctors and nurses get better at managing oxygen therapy, but it will put enormous stress on the health service, and we're already seeing that happen in parts of the country. looking across the channel, you can around 50% of french intensive care unit beds are occupied and they are under great pressure in some parts of the country. if the government is following the science rather than worrying about the politics and
10:35 am
economics, what would they do? the a nswer economics, what would they do? the answer is, the job economics, what would they do? the answer is, thejob of sage, thejob of the chief scientific adviser, and chris whitty, the chief medical 0fficerfor england, chris whitty, the chief medical officer for england, is to chris whitty, the chief medical 0fficerfor england, is to provide the evidence to politicians, and they ultimately make the policies and are accountable to us through parliament and the elections in due course. they are following a difficult balancing act, as you heard robertjenrick say. there will undoubtedly be harms from people losing jobs, loss of education potentially, and from all the mental health stresses of social isolation, because we are intensely social animals, so they have to do this extremely difficult balancing act. i have no doubt that politicians across the world are trying to do their best, but it's an extremely difficult balancing act, and the danger is that a compromise between lives and livelihoods ends up not giving a satisfactory answer on either front. very good to have your
10:36 am
insight, professor, thank you for joining us. the headlines on bbc news... police in the southern french city of nice say an attacker with a knife has killed three people in and around the notre dame basilica, in what the city's mayor called a terrorist attack. the suspect has been arrested. an investigation into anti—semitism in the labour party by the human rights watchdog in the uk said the party committed unlawful acts of harassment and dissemination. almost 100,000 people are catching coronavirus every day in the england — the stark finding from senior scientists as they warn the pandemic is at a critical stage. the study also suggests the national r number has increased to 1.56. the government sticks to its strategy — calling another national lockdown a "last resort".
10:37 am
we can return to the breaking news that police in the southern french city of nice to say a man has killed at least three people in or around the notre dame church. the city's mayor is a terrorist attack. witnesses say the assailant who was shot by police, cried out god is great in arabic. there are unconfirmed reports that one of the victims, a woman, was beheaded. police have quickly set up a security cordon around the notre dame basilica... i am sorry... it is nice. it might say paris on the screen but it is nice. meanwhile, french president emmanuel macron is holding crisis talks at the interior ministry with ministers and officials in response to the incident in nice today. he is due to travel to nice later. i have been
10:38 am
speaking to someone who lives close to where the incident took place. we are ina to where the incident took place. we are in a flatjust next to... we heard many people shouting in the street. we could see out of the windows there were many policemen coming. we heard about ten shots, and more and more policeman. we still... we didn't see the attack, we just still... we didn't see the attack, wejust heard... can you still... we didn't see the attack, we just heard. .. can you tell us still... we didn't see the attack, we just heard... can you tell us how quickly emergency services came to the cathedral? they are already there.
10:39 am
the police were already there. there we re the police were already there. there were some there and then the rest came. how is this being reported in france, particularly in your city? sorry, i didn't hear you? how is this being reported in france, particularly in paris? we waited until reports were verified and we heard the president will come to see the mayor. what is the position for you as someone who the mayor. what is the position for you as someone who lives close by? are you able to leave your home? we don't know anything, if we can leave
10:40 am
the flat, if we can go outside. the street is closed. we are so sad, because there were parents of victims in the streets who were trying to get to the front of the cathedral to see what happened and see the victims. it is obviously a very frightening time for you, but what has the atmosphere been like in nice recently? it has been quite normal. in the past few days there we re normal. in the past few days there were a lot of threats against... everyone has been anxious because of
10:41 am
coronavirus. we didn't know what would happen. we weren't prepared for this, i guess. how are you expecting to get information about the security situation and how will you know where you can go to? we don't know, we have no information. there are still policeman... every shop is closed. we don't want to go out if it is still dangerous. everything seems to be under control, but we don't know, we don't know if we will be able to come back if we leave. that was someone who
10:42 am
lives close to the notre dame basilica in nice where stabbings took place today because top i spoke took place today because top i spoke to father peterjackson, chaplain of the anglican church in nice and i asked for his reaction to events today. just horrified. it brings back memories of bastille day in 2016 when 86 people were killed. and it's just... initially you 2016 when 86 people were killed. and it'sjust... initially you can't believe it, and then the shock sets m, believe it, and then the shock sets in, andi believe it, and then the shock sets in, and i must sayi believe it, and then the shock sets in, and i must say i feel quite shocked at the moment, not least because i know that church well, i have taken part in ecumenical services there. it is the main, largest catholic church in nice, right in the middle of everything. it is on the main thoroughfare of the city. since the attacks at charlie hebdo in paris a few years ago, how vulnerable have churches
10:43 am
felt in france? i think very. i know after the 2016 attack in nice, we we re after the 2016 attack in nice, we were in consultation with the prefecture, the local government authorities, about installing security cameras, which we have done. i think a number of churches have done this. we understand there has been a call from the mayor of nice for more security to be introduced. how reasonable and practical that is we don't know, but how do church authorities respond to that? when you want churches to be open to people and you want people to come into pray, despite covid—19 restrictions that they are facing? that's true. we find that at festival times, local police are in touch with us and they come to check
10:44 am
the security of the building, and also they are a presence, so at midnight mass you would have the police outside. but there is a problem for them, there are lots of churches in nice, and how do you police all of them? and certainly not all the time. however, during the day we also have them walk through the churchyard next to the church. there is a degree of police presence, but i think it's very difficult for them to do much more than that. we understand the attack took place inside the church and also near the church, and the attacker has been detained. the attacker has been detained. the attacker apparently shouted god is great in arabic. nice is a very big multicultural, multiethnic, multireligious city. how peaceable is it usually? very. there is not a
10:45 am
sense of anxiety when you walk around. 0bviously after the attack in 2016 there was a lot more security and for a long time we did have patrols of soldiers on the streets. the interesting thing is, where the attack occurred is a part of nice which exemplifies the mixed religious and ethnic nature, because just near there is a jewish school, and also a muslim prayer hall. the different abrahamic faiths are right next to each other, and there isn't normally, as far as i can see, any tension. we know there has been a reassertion of the right to freedom of expression and the secular values that the french republic is built upon following the beheading of samuel paty in the paris suburb
10:46 am
recently because he had shown his pupils those pictures of the cartoons of the prophet muhammad, which for some muslims are deeply offensive. what does the message need to be from religious leaders of all faiths now? i think we have to be very careful not to make things worse by what we say, which i think makes one fairly guarded in public statements. i know that immediately after the attack onjuly14 statements. i know that immediately after the attack on july 1a four yea rs after the attack on july 1a four years ago, in church on the sunday afterwards, i felt that i had to preach about tolerance and understanding, and someone in the congregation stood up and started to protest about my saying that, but i do think we need to keep those values of tolerance to the fore. 0n the other hand, i am well aware that
10:47 am
that tolerance can be exploited by people who have very extreme views. father peterjackson, people who have very extreme views. father peter jackson, chaplain people who have very extreme views. father peterjackson, chaplain of the holy trinity anglican church in nice. we can now speak to a journalism student who has been filming at the scene in nice. tom, can you tell us what you saw when you arrived at? i arrived at 9:30am. that was 30 minutes after the attack. we saw already some media in place. but the community was really electric, police officers put a lot of security on the street. after i would say about 30 minutes we heard an explosion, two explosions. by the
10:48 am
police, who exploded some suspect objects. in the last hour it has become really calm and we are waiting emmanuel macron, the president of the republic. you say you heard something like an explosion? yes. i don't know if that's right in english, but it is a sound like an explosion. it is a security explosion, because an object looks weird, so the police prefer object looks weird, so the police p refer to object looks weird, so the police prefer to explode it. yes, they
10:49 am
sometimes detonate items which could bea sometimes detonate items which could be a device of some sort. local reports are saying that the attacker has now been shot, is still alive and taken to hospital. what are you hearing? since two hours, we don't see a lot of things, really. the scene of the attack is really a long distance from us. we don't see a lot of things, really. we are just listening, but we can't see a lot of things here. what response do you expect from the government? more security in the city? yeah, of course. remember there is already a big attack in nice, on the promenade
10:50 am
during thejuly14 celebrations. but with the coronavirus, it has already become complicated. when things like the attack of this morning happen, it will be really hard to live here in nice in this situation. but it is a very varied population and there are a very varied population and there a re lots of a very varied population and there are lots of people from all over the world who live in nice. surely the message needs to be for calm so people don't panic and there are not to repeat attacks or revenge attacks? yes, nice is a city where there are a lot of cultures, like you say, from all around the world. this attack is really significant,
10:51 am
all the city is scared, and we hope it will finish for this city. with greater restrictions coming in in france because of coronavirus, the city will feel very different anyway. perhaps that will provide a period of calm, to allow things to settle ? period of calm, to allow things to settle? i don't know yet. obviously with the coronavirus, the lockdown will start tomorrow. all the city is already dotted but i don't know, it's like it's angry, but it's just really complicated and with the attack of this morning, it's very difficult and we can see on the face of the french people here, it is complicated. we saw some people
10:52 am
crying. it is a complicated situation. tom, we appreciate you talking to us and thank you very much for explaining what you saw at the scene. a journalism student, much for explaining what you saw at the scene. ajournalism student, who is at the scene in nice. we are now looking at pictures inside the police cordon that has been thrown around the area close to the notre dame basilica in nice. just to remind you, that's where police say a man with a knife has killed at least three people in and around that church, which is in the centre of the city, close to one of the main shopping thoroughfares. the city's mayor, christian estrosi, has said this is a terrorist attack, and there have been unconfirmed reports from local sources that one of the victims, a woman, was beheaded. emmanuel macron is now on his way to nice later today, from paris, where
10:53 am
he has been holding an emergency crisis meeting with his officials and ministers. we will cover the story throughout the day here on bbc news. we will turn to the report from the equality and human rights commission in the uk which hasjust served the labour party with an unlawful act notice because the commission has found the party and its leadership responsible for acts of harassment and discrimination. the investigation has identified serious failings in leadership and an inadequate process for handling anti—semitism complaints. a lot of those anti—semitism issues occurred under the leadership of the former leader of the party, jeremy corbyn. he has been criticised for many people for his failure to act decisively and to root out anti—semitism from the party. a
10:54 am
number ofjewish mps and other mps, resigned from the party because of the treatment they were facing from those who were anti—semitic in their views and treatment of them. former labour leaderjeremy corbyn has responded to this report. he has said thatjewish labour members were right to expect the party to deal with anti—semitism. he says, i regret it took longer to deliver that change than it should. but he has gone on to say the scale of the problem was also dramatically overstated for political reasons by our opponents inside and outside the party. that, i imagine, is likely to be seen as a rejection of these findings to an extent. people have been very critical ofjeremy corbyn through the years, not leastjohn mann, a former through the years, not leastjohn mann, aformermp, through the years, not leastjohn mann, a former mp, now a through the years, not leastjohn mann, a former mp, nowa lord, who sits in the house of lords. he is
10:55 am
also an independent adviser to the government on anti—semitism and he has tweeted, this is a moment of the greatest tea m has tweeted, this is a moment of the greatest team in the history of the labour party, and to think how many people said it was all made up and exaggerated. which amongst them now will stand up and say, i am truly sorry. this unlawful act notice now requires the labour party to produce an action plan within six weeks, and it is legally enforceable by the courts if it is not acted upon. there has been a response to the commission's report and recommendations today from the campaign against anti—semitism, which says it is a ground—breaking document, the first—ever finding which says it is a ground—breaking document, the first—everfinding by the commission of unlawful acts, and it heavily criticises the labour pa rty‘s it heavily criticises the labour party's former leadership. in date we have just heard the response from jeremy corbyn. it says the report utterly vindicates britain's jewish people, who were accused of lying and exaggerating, acting as agents of other countries and smearing the
10:56 am
labour party. current labour leader sir keir starmer, is due to have a press co nfe re nce sir keir starmer, is due to have a press conference shortly in response to the report and we will bring you that here on bbc news. time for a look at the weather forecast with carol kirkwood. hello again. it's going to be another wet and windy day. if you don't have the rain where you are, it's not far away. we've got low pressure dominating our weather and it is bringing in the wet and windy conditions. but one thing you will notice is, it's going to be milder today than it was yesterday, and tomorrow too, for many of us it will be milder. now, here's the low pressure, with its attendant fronts, producing the rain, and look at all those isobars on the charts. so, gusty winds today, particularly in the west and the south, this rain continuing to migrate north—eastwards, eradicating the sunny but cold start across the far north—east of scotland. behind the band of rain, we see a return to a lot of cloud, some patchier rain and a few showers and some drizzle as well. but the focus will be
10:57 am
on the wind behind the rain, because you can see the gusts, as indicated by the black circles. gusty winds inland, but the strongest will be over exposure in the west and also in the south. temperatures, ten to about 15, maybe 16 in belfast, so a bit milder than it was yesterday. this evening and overnight, off goes the first band of rain, but we do have the second band. still gusty winds. there will be some breaks in the cloud and still a few showers knocking around as well. but it's going to be an unseasonably mild night. these temperatures you could expect by day at this time of year rather than at night. tomorrow, the rain in scotland increasingly turning showery. most of it will eventually fade. the rain in england and wales pushes southwards, taking this cloud with it. behind it, we see brighter skies develop with some sunshine, but it's also going to turn a bit cooler through the afternoon in the north, and still mild in the south. in fact, somewhere in the south could well hit 18 degrees. more likely in the south—east.
10:58 am
as we head through friday and into the weekend, low pressure really dominates the weather. look at the number of isobars in the charts. we are looking at some windy conditions and also some rain. we will start on saturday with some brightness in the east but it won't last. all this rain in the west will push across us through the day. windy conditions wherever you are. again, gusts represented by the black circles. we could even have severe gales across the north of scotland. that could well lead to some disruption. although temperatures of ten to 16 in the south.
10:59 am
11:00 am
this is bbc news. the headline an investigation into anti—semitism in the labour party rules that the party committed unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination. the former leaderjeremy corbyn says he regrets that it took so long to deliver change then it should, but the scale of the problem was overstated by political opponents. police in the southern french city of nice say an attacker with a knife has killed three people in and around the notre dame basilica and what the city's mayor is colic a terrorist attack. the suspect had been arrested. 100,000 people are catching coronavirus every day in england. the stark finding from a senior scientist as they won the pandemic is at a critical stage. we
11:01 am
do not have a plan today to do a full national lockdown stopped we can see there are arguments in favour of that in terms of simplicity and clarity, but there are very simplicity and clarity, but there are very strong arguments against it. the study also suggested national r number has increased to 1.56. the government sticks to its strategy calling another national lockdown a last resort. a national coronavirus lockdown in france and tighter restrictions in germany, europe approaches a new crisis point. welcome, and investigation by the human rights watchdog has found the
11:02 am
labour party broke equality law in its handling of anti—semitism. a long—awaited report by the equality and human rights commission found the party was responsible for unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination. the interim chair said the labour party made a commitment to zero tolerance for anti—semitism. she said, our investigation has highlighted multiple areas where its approach and leadership to tackling anti—semitism was insufficient. this is inexcusable and appears to be a result of a lack of willingness to tackle anti—semitism rather than an inability to do so. in response, the jewish labour movement said blame for the sordid disgraceful chapter in the labour party's history lies firmly with those who held positions of leadership. the former labour leaderjeremy corbyn said jewish labour members were right to expect a party to deal with anti—semitism and that he regrets it took longer to deliver that change than it should have. he however said that he
11:03 am
does not accept all the findings of the report. let's get more on that speak to our political is it. jeremy corbyn's statement has just been issued and he is not accepting all the findings. no, keir starmer has indicated he would accept the findings, of this report, we will hear from findings, of this report, we will hearfrom him in a bit. jeremy corbyn saying that anti—semitism was absolutely apparent, and responsible for some of the greatest crimes at thatjewish members of the party and wider community had been right to expect the party to deal with it. he regretted it took longer to deliver that change then it should. he also said the scale of the problem was dramatically overstated for political reasons by our opponents inside and outside the party as well as by much of the media and that he was not going to accept all of these recommendations. there are a number from the equality and human rights commission, it found the party had
11:04 am
breached the equality act in three ways, there had been political interference byjeremy corbyn's office in the complaints process, there had not been enough training for those handling those complaints, and also help the party legally responsible for comments made by the former mayor of london ken livingstone because he was also a pa rt livingstone because he was also a part of the national executive committee, part of the governing body, so the party was legal responsible and therefore had breached the law in terms of harassment. it has given labour until december two set out an action plan and has given recommendations. thank you. for more on that report, we can talk now to the former labour mp ruth smee. thank you forjoining us. mp ruth smee. thank you forjoining us. your mp ruth smee. thank you forjoining us. your response mp ruth smee. thank you forjoining us. your response first of all to these findings. i think this is such a heartbreaking day for the labour party. it is a complete vindication for those people who were trying to
11:05 am
fix this for the last five years, who shouted, stood up against racism. we were desperate to be heard, we never wanted to be here today, it was not inevitable, but there was a complete failure of leadership to ensure that there was no racism in the labour party, and fundamentally that is what we are talking about. i am relieved but also truly sad that this is where we have ended up. what do you make of jeremy corbyn's statement that he does not fully accept these findings? i find that really difficult. jeremy should have said sorry in a statement. he should have accepted everything that they outlined, but honestly this is no longer about him, we now have to look to the future to see how we will rebuild the labour party and jaw that the labour party is a home for british dues —— jews. jaw that the labour party is a home for british dues ——jews. it jaw that the labour party is a home for british dues —— jews. it has been incredibly difficult to be
11:06 am
duration the labour party, it has been devastating over the last five yea rs been devastating over the last five years for the experiences i had otherjewish women, especially women, have faced. forthat otherjewish women, especially women, have faced. for that to be dismissed by him is difficult. now we will look to keir starmer to see what he will say to make sure that the labour party is fit for purpose and he is standing against racism. you say it is not any more about jeremy corbyn, the former leader, but should he still be allowed to be in the labour party? that is a matter for the current leadership. we will see forjeremy corbyn says today. today is about a vindication ofjewish today. today is about a vindication of jewish labour today. today is about a vindication ofjewish labour members, we have had our... we have been dismissed, we have been told that everything we we re we have been told that everything we were saying about our personal experiences were not true or that we we re experiences were not true or that we were weapon eisenhower and —— weapon icing anti—semitism. we were being
11:07 am
bullied until people like certain others were forced out. we now have to fix it and has nothing to do with jeremy corbyn, he is not part of the solution. thank you. we can go now __ go solution. thank you. we can go now —— go now to keir starmer. solution. thank you. we can go now -- go now to keir starmer. thank you to everybody at the commission for their work in the last year and a half. it is a comprehensive, rigorous and thoroughly professional report. when the commission was set up report. when the commission was set up by report. when the commission was set up by the last labour government to tackle discrimination, promote equality and protect human rights, it never occurred to me or anyone else that one day the labour party would be investigated for breaching the equality legislation that a labour government had introduced. worse still, that the labour party would be found to have committed
11:08 am
unlawful acts under that same legislation. but that is what this report finds. both in terms of unlawful harassment, through the a cts unlawful harassment, through the acts of our agents, and unlawful indirect discrimination. the report's conclusions are clear and stark. they leave no room for equivocation. the report finds serious failings in leadership, processes and culture in dealing with anti—semitism within our party. specific examples of unlawful harassment and unlawful indirect discrimination. clear examples of political interference from the leaders —— leader's offers in and he says —— anti—semitism cases. inadequate process for handling complaints of anti—semitism, failure to deliver adequate training for
11:09 am
staff responsible for investigating cases, repeated failure to implement the recommendations of previous report into anti—semitism. a culture thatis, report into anti—semitism. a culture that is, i quote, at odds with the labour party's that is, i quote, at odds with the labour pa rty‘s commitment that is, i quote, at odds with the labour party's commitment to zero tolerance of anti—semitism. and perhaps most telling of all, a clear breakdown of trust between the labour party, many of its members and the jewish community. labour party, many of its members and thejewish community. i found this report hard to read. it is a day of shame for the labour party. we have failed jewish people. our members, our supporters, and the british public. and so, on behalf of the labour party, i am truly sorry for all the pain and grief that has been caused. twojewish people, our
11:10 am
jewish members, our long—standing jewish members, our long—standing jewish affiliate, glm, to the people given out of our policy, theyjewish members driven out of parliament, including louise ellman add lucy alma verger, and to the members of the labour party staff who spoke out. i want to see this. i know how ha rd out. i want to see this. i know how hard these last few years have been for you. how painful today will be, and how hard you had to fight to have your voices heard. so let me be clear. i hew you. and i can promise you this. —— i hearyou. iwill clear. i hew you. and i can promise you this. —— i hear you. iwill act. never again will labour let you down. never again will we fail to tackle anti—semitism. and never again will we lose your trust. the
11:11 am
labour party i lead accept this report in full and without qualification. we will implement all the recommendations and we will implement them in full. that process sta rts implement them in full. that process starts today. i have already instructed my staff to start work with the commission to implement the recommendations at the earliest possible opportunity. we will provide the commission with our action plan to achieve all of this within six weeks. we will establish an independent complaints process and it will be in place as soon as possible in the new year. we will ensure that neither the leader, the deputy leader or our offices will have any involvement in the outcome of complaints initiated under the labour party processes. and we are already addressing the backlog of anti—semitism cases, in fact it will be more cases completed in the last six months than in the whole of
11:12 am
2019. but we will go much further. we must go farther. because as the report makes clear, this cannot be solved just by changing the party's processes and structures. we also need a culture change in the labour party. it must become once again and open and welcoming place for people from all backgrounds and all communities. under my leadership, zero tolerance of anti—semitism will mean precisely that. if you are anti—semitic, you should be no in the party. we will make sure you are not. and if, after all the pain, all the grief and all the evidence in this report, there are still those who think there is no problem with anti—semitism in the labour party, that it anti—semitism in the labour party, thatitis anti—semitism in the labour party, that it is all exaggerated, or a faction attack, then frankly you are
11:13 am
pa rt faction attack, then frankly you are part of the problem. and you should be nowhere near the labour party either. this report is painful to read. i urge everyone to do so. because this must be a line in the sand. there can be no more missed opportunities, no more denials or excuses. under my leadership, labour will act decisively against anti—semitism in all its forms. we will repair the breach. i know it will repair the breach. i know it will take time and hard work, but when i stood for leader of this party i was cleared by my first priority would be to root out anti—semitism. and rebuild trust. that started in april. we have made progress and it will intensify today. but i will only consider a success when those members who let our party because of anti—semitism feel safe to return and when we no
11:14 am
longer hear the words labour and anti—semitism in the same sentence. thank you. i think we are now going to questions, i don't think we have vicky from the bbc first. —— and i think. you have apologised today on behalf of the labour party, but what about a personal apology? you certainjeremy about a personal apology? you certain jeremy corbyn's about a personal apology? you certainjeremy corbyn's shadow cabinet, why did you not speak out more publicly when you knew what labour mps were saying about anti—semitism? do you think that jeremy corbyn and the staff in his office should stay in the labour party? | office should stay in the labour party? i spoke out as you know both in their shadow cabinet and outside it, that is a matter of record, on issues such as the international definition and the rule changes we needed. we all have to accept the findings in this report. we all have to a cce pt findings in this report. we all have to accept responsibility. that is
11:15 am
why my first act as leader of the party in april i apologised unreservedly for the anti—semitism andi unreservedly for the anti—semitism and i do so again today. we all need to understand the hurt and pain caused by this. can we now go to itv? i think you might be muted. we cannot hear you. still can't hear you. you may be muted still. we've got you. sorry, keir starmer, do you think that your predecessor was ever fit to be leader of the labour party, and do you think he still has a place in the party now, and kelly also asked, the issue of the latest
11:16 am
figures on the spread of coronavirus, is it time for a lockdown. the report does not make individual findings, lockdown. the report does not make individualfindings, it has lockdown. the report does not make individual findings, it has strong findings about a collective failure of leadership. we all need to understand that, we all need to accept that and act on the recommendations. that is what i will be doing, working with the commission as we have done in the last six months. 0n the numbers of infections, across the country eve ryo ne infections, across the country everyone is concerned by the rising number of cases and tragically by the rising numbers of deaths. that is why i called for a circuit breaker that could have coincided with half term. my concern is that the ts system is not doing enough to bring the infection rate down and thatis bring the infection rate down and that is why i see again to the prime minister he needs to go further and faster. —— tier system. minister he needs to go further and faster. —— tiersystem. kate minister he needs to go further and faster. —— tier system. kate from
11:17 am
sky. you have just said, faster. —— tier system. kate from sky. you havejust said, after faster. —— tier system. kate from sky. you have just said, after all the pain and grief and evidence from the pain and grief and evidence from the report, there are still those who think there is no problem with anti—semitism in the labour party and it is exaggerated, then frankly you are part of the problem, and you should be nowhere near the labour party either. given you have just said that, and given thatjeremy corbyn in a statement hasjust said that the scale of anti—semitism was dramatically overstated for political reasons by opponents, what are you going to do now to show that you are serious at that jeremy corbyn has no place in or near the labour party? i will look carefully at whatjeremy corbyn has said in full, but i said a moment ago i doubt will say again, those that deny this a problem are part of the problem. those who pretend it is exaggerated factional are part of the problem. under my leadership, we will have zero tolerance of anti—semitism, we will accept this report in full, recognise the hurt
11:18 am
caused and act on the recommendations with speed. lbc, ben. thank you, many people in the jewish committee will welcome what you have said it but many will fight it does not go far enough. this is a wholly damning report advise the previous leadership of the party you now lead broke the law, acted u nlawfully now lead broke the law, acted unlawfully in three ways. mps and other affiliate have been disciplined, faced disciplinary action for far less. as the current leader, do you want to see that utilised, for people who said this was manufactured by israel, to quote one trade union leader, for the people who were found to have u nlawfully people who were found to have unlawfully interfered in the complaints process, and for the mps, former party leader who are ultimately responsible for what was
11:19 am
found to be a huge and unlawful failure of leadership? on how far we have gone, we have taken action in the last six months since i took over as leader of the labour party. we will not take action on this report. we will fully implement all of the recommendations. we will do it speedily, by directly is the challenge is also about the culture of the labour party and we are determined to take up their challenge as well. that's why we will continue to take action against those that are anti—semitic in our party. they should not be in the labour party and we intend to make sure they are not. channel 4. liz. this is a report that has failed the leader of the labour party, jeremy corbyn, oversaw a period of this carbonation and harassment against jewish people. you say you want the jewish people. you say you want the jewish community to trust you, you need to term out of the party, don't
11:20 am
you? there were no individual findings againstjeremy corbyn, there was a collective failure of leadership. that is the clear finding and painful fighting leadership. that is the clear finding and painfulfighting in this report. the commission have been clear about what they think the appropriate action is, they have set it out in terms of the recommendations. i intend to implement those recommendations swiftly a nd implement those recommendations swiftly and to tackle the culture change that needs to happen under —— in our party. i think we are going to the jewish in our party. i think we are going to thejewish telegraph. adam. in our party. i think we are going to the jewish telegraph. adam. while you have said there were no individual findings in the report, it did state in the report that certain investigations into jeremy corbyn were blocked. will you be looking at those cases again and if those cases fight what everyone in the jewish community expect, would you then be calling for him to resign? we will look at all cases,
11:21 am
and part of the charge has been to speed up the process with the cases already in the pipeline, and we have done a lot to speed that process up. more cases have been determined in the last six months that were determined on the whole of 2019. more than were determined in the year 2014—2018 combined. we will look at all of the cases, we need to make sure they are dealt with, fairly and efficiently and we need to speed up the process. thank you. i think lead from thejewish chronicle is next. some suggest you only started to take action against anti—semitism when she became leader and that you did little and stood by whenjeremy and that you did little and stood by when jeremy corbyn was in charge. what support did you give to those women who left the party? how many times did you speak to them and when
11:22 am
did you last speak? thank you. i am on record for having spoken out on anti—semitism, both inside the shadow cabinet and outside. that is a matter of record. i have spoken to a matter of record. i have spoken to a number of people who left our party and i spoke to lucy last night. thank you for that. justin will stop justin from jewish chronicle —— jewish news. will stop justin from jewish chronicle -- jewish news. would you welcome back lucy —— luciano, louise and ian austen who left the party specifically because of anti—semitism? specifically because of anti-semitism? i cannot speak for them but i do... the test i do for myself is when they and others feel it is safe to come back. i had that
11:23 am
private discussion with her and gave her my commitment then to do everything i could to ensure the labour party was a play she felt she could return to. i cannot speak for her, i hope that she and others will ta ke co mfo rt her, i hope that she and others will take comfort from the steps we have taken in the last six months and from the steps we will take as a result of this report. i am under no illusion. i will bejudged by what result of this report. i am under no illusion. i will be judged by what i do, not by what i say, and so the test for me is notjust a structural changes, rule changes, all of that has to happen, but it is when the labour party is a place that those that have left feel they can safely return. would you like to see those people back? i cannot speak for them, they will make their own decisions. i want to ensure they feel that the labour party is a safe place for them to return to, if that is what they choose to do. i think
11:24 am
we are going to israel radio. thank you. you have just said there is no place in the party for those with anti—semitic views. precisely what are you going to do withjeremy corbyn and his henchmen, the commission have said clearly it is not something they can deal with? judging by corbyn's commented earlier, he does not seem to get it. will you expel him or discipline him? finally, what will you do for the jewish community who have been abused, bruised and worse? they still want those responsible dealt with. precisely how? when? like you, we have gone carefully through the report, there are no individual findings against the individuals you name. there is a collective finding ofa name. there is a collective finding of a failure of leadership. we need to understand that, except that, understand the hurt and grief, as
11:25 am
you rightly point out, that has been experienced byjewish you rightly point out, that has been experienced by jewish people you rightly point out, that has been experienced byjewish people as a result of the failure of the labour party to tackle this issue in recent yea rs. party to tackle this issue in recent years. but there were no individual findings againstjeremy and others. it is incumbent on all of us to accept the findings, although bars to act on the recommendations, and all of us, including myself, to apologise, as i have done today and previously, thank you. the times. got a bit of an echo. sorry. an independent complaints system would require a big change, a big conference. how and when are you going to ensure that takes place? as soon as going to ensure that takes place? as soon as possible and we have discussed that very thing with the commission, which is how far we can 90, commission, which is how far we can go, what rules we may need to
11:26 am
change. i am determined we will do it as quickly as possible, that we can do it early next year. it is one of the issues that have been talking to the commission about and will continue to talk to them about. the commitment to an individual —— independent process is firm. we will have one in place and the sooner, the better. we will work with the commission to get that running as quickly as possible. harry the telegraph. thank you. just do treasure you, the hrc faraday specific example of lotto interfering ina specific example of lotto interfering in a complete against jeremy corbyn in 2018 relating to the anti—semitic bureau and tower hamlets. it can you specifically say whether you believe that complaint should be revisited and do you personally think that mr corbyn's defence of the euro was anti—semitic? defence of the euro was anti-semitic? there is no defence of that mural, i have said that before andi that mural, i have said that before and i will say happily again. on the
11:27 am
individual cases, i am and i will say happily again. on the individual cases, iam not and i will say happily again. on the individual cases, i am not going to fall into the trap of saying which one should be looked at again, how and when, that is precisely the sort of interference that has caused so much difficulty in the past. we have put a lot of work into the governance and legal unit in the way these cases are handled, that is why we have got through so many cases in the last six months. the team will look at them, it is right that they do so. we will have an independent process in place. whilst i must have a line of sight, there is —— it is important not to pick out individual cases and what i should think should happen. that is a big part of the problem in relation to the part of the report. can i go to andy at the independent? you correctly said that the report today does not make individual findings of wrongdoing by
11:28 am
jeremy corbyn, but the commission have said that it is not within their remit to investigate individual allegations against individual allegations against individual people, that is a responsibility of the party. so the responsibility of the party. so the responsibility for investigating things like the complete mural rests with the party and not the commission. how can jewish with the party and not the commission. how canjewish people have confidence in you if you are unable to say clearly that in that case, about the mural and others, relating to corbyn, those would be among the ones looked out by the party, and kelly also asked, do you thinkjeremy corbyn is anti—semitic personally? those cases are for us to investigate, i was making the observation of their ad nor individual findings observation of their ad nor individualfindings in relation to the report. —— there are a no. there are no cases that should not be looked at. i shall leave it to the team. i will not pick out individual cases and suggest what should or
11:29 am
should it happen. it is our responsibility to look out all cases that are brought to our attention andindeed that are brought to our attention and indeed to see what cases are not necessarily brought to us, that is our response ability. there is no fight again relation to anti—semitism againstjeremy corbyn in the report. it is a collective failure of leadership, a very serious one. that is why i take it so serious one. that is why i take it so seriously and why i intend to commit these recommendations as quickly as possible. thank you all very much. keir starmer they are, the labour leader, taking questions on that very damning report from the a yet —— eh rc which has found the labour party responsible for anti—semitism problems. we can talk after the former labour mp ruth. a
11:30 am
number of questions to keir starmer, focusing on why he is not taking action againstjeremy corbyn. do you think he should either dismiss him or suspend him, or think he should either dismiss him orsuspend him, or move think he should either dismiss him or suspend him, or move him away from the party, givenjeremy corbyn's statement today?” from the party, givenjeremy corbyn's statement today? i think keir starmer has to read the statement in full. whatjeremy has said this incredibly disappointing and outpoint just needs said this incredibly disappointing and outpointjust needs to be dismissed. there is a real issue about the culture of the labour party and what is or isn't acceptable. if you have any views that are anti—semitic, if you believe that anti—semitism has not been an issue in the labour party, you know where the door is. this is now all about how we move forward. i was heartened by keir starmer‘s statement and we will see now how he has going to outgoing forward to make sure that the labour party, not just policies and procedures, have
11:31 am
changed, so we are compliant with the eh rc, but the culture has changed, so that jewish the eh rc, but the culture has changed, so thatjewish women feel safe in the labour party so that jews feel safe, so that people of all backgrounds and heritage feel safe joining all backgrounds and heritage feel safejoining the all backgrounds and heritage feel safe joining the labour party and will know it is behind them. there isa will know it is behind them. there is a huge lot of work to do, this is not the end of everything we have experienced. now it is about how we fix it and honestly that now lies with keir starmer and his team. he needs to fix this. the report says this was a failure of collective leadership. do you trust keir starmer to go far enough? ido, we trust keir starmer to go far enough? i do, we have spoken several times about what happened previously. he did support me when i was a member of parliament although i think my comments on the previous leadership are well known, but keir starmer
11:32 am
has, from day one, been clear on this issue, no one could have asked more from him up until this point but now he said it is about action, not talk and be only to see what he's going to do next. he was asked repeatedly about not onlyjeremy corbyn but karie murphy and seamus milne, his key advisers, and given this report criticises the party and picks out instances including the investigation into the offence of offensive mural, people will think keir starmer has to dismiss from the party people who have been regarded as the cause of this problem. party people who have been regarded as the cause of this problemlj don't know how any of those people can look themselves in the mirror right now and i hope that they all read this and realise the pain and
11:33 am
anguish they have put members through over the last five years for no purpose but political gain for whatever they thought they were achieving. but now we need to see, keir starmer is going to have to make a stand but he has to see all of it in the round and who was culpable and has got to due process,
