so, after criticism from trade unions, the labour party's criticism from trade unions, the labour pahe was asked, change its position and adopt the definition and all the examples in full? of course, consultation means you consult and listen to people, and what the national executive did at its meeting in july was to agree a very comprehensive code of conduct, the most sophisticated, toughest code of conduct of any political party in britain, to drive out any form of racism and any form whatsoever of anti—semitism in the party. agreed on the definition, the ihra definition of anti—semitism, and agreed on almost all of the examples. we expect a decision early next month from the party on its code of conduct around anti—semitism. mr corbyn was also asked today about his attendance in 2014 at the palestinian martyrs cemetery in tunisia. this is a story which has surfaced again. he answered questions on this during the election campaign last year, when his attendance first came to light. the daily mail has published photos this morning showing him at that cemetery. and the criticism agai

the labour party has not confirmed whether or not it was a speech.said it is in discussions with the labour party about an event next week. it had been rumoured that the event was supposed to be tomorrow but it seems to be next week. the jewish museum has been trying to seek clarification from the labour party about what this event would be about. what they have said is that they would be open to hosting an event that was about genuine healing dialogue between thejewish community and the labour party, but we've heard today from jewish community groups who are not very happy about a jewish venue being used for a speech byjeremy corbyn. 0ne used for a speech byjeremy corbyn. one group told us that they saw this asa one group told us that they saw this as a stand. we have heard from people saying to us thatjeremy corbyn has not engaged in dialogue with members of the jewish corbyn has not engaged in dialogue with members of thejewish community and he hasn't talked to them about labour's new code of conduct, which has been controversial. we heard from th

i have been in the labour party longer thanjeremy i have been in the labour party longer than jeremyng to that one sentence that was put out by the labour party last night which merely said thatjeremy corbyn thanked frank field for his service to the party. there were 12 words in that sentence and. and not a syllable devoted to any sense of regret that frank field was no longer within the parliamentary labour party. there are those within the party who are not particularly fast about frank field, they think he has lost the support of his local party and lashed out in a way that they regarded as unbecoming. hugh is chris williamson. he has obviously lost the confidence of his members and he is now getting his excuses m, and he is now getting his excuses in, it seems to me, and throwing around grotesque slurs which have no basis in reality. that is a very regrettable end to frank's long career regrettable end to frank's long career in the house of commons. the big question now is, is frank field the last person to walk out the door or could there be others to follow? frank field is a m

a third ofa labour party and there are a third of a millionjews in labour party and there are a thirdand there are a third of a millionjews in this country and a lot of them don't know along with these sort of comments of lord sacks. a lot of them are worried about a country governed byjeremy corbyn‘s labour. about a country governed byjeremy corbyn's labour. i am very worried about it when you can't sort this out. how can you run a country if you can't sort this? what they ought to do is go with the international definition of anti—semitism, probably, there is a solution for them, and they are not even willing to go along with that. there is some talk, michael, am i right that the national executive committee, labour's ruling council, meets next week and maybe they could accept that definition? however, there is going to be a free—speech clause inserted into this. they will accept it, put in the free—speech clause, which means you can criticise israel. you can imagine that will open up the door to make more comments like this. he was on video making these comments. and you could see

jewish groups are angry about the definition of anti—semitism the labour party has decided to adopt in. now the party's deputy leader has joined the chorus of disapproval. tom watson told the observer that labour risked disappearing into a vortex of eternal shame and embarrassment over the row. in public and private, severaljeremy corbyn‘s senior colleagues have now made it clear they think he needs to go further than simply repeating past statements about anti—semitism. if he doesn't, this row is going to continue, damaging labour and distracting it from what it is supposed to be doing here, opposing the conservatives. another senior backbencher said mr corbyn‘s video changed nothing and she did not feel at all reassured by more words. he seems to have difficulty understanding that this is a very serious situation that won't go away with warm words. he seems to hold thejewish community in some kind of contempt and to treat them in a way he would not dream of treating any other minority community. labour insists that mr corbyn has made it clear in the strongest terms that anti—semitism

—— fanatics and calling on rabbis who claim that there was widespread anti—semitism within the labour partyhas said it will take no further action. but he was until this evening at least being supported by an momentum, the left—wing grassroots campaign group which grew up as a support mechanism forjeremy corbyn's leadership campaign when he was running for leader of the labour party and democrat and has continued as a jeremy corbyn support vehicle since then. and until tonight, momentum was supporting peter wilson for his reelection to labour‘s ruling party, the national executive committee. but ina the national executive committee. but in a statement in the last hour, they said they were withdrawing his support, describing his comments as deeply insensitive and inappropriate. they've welcomed his apology but say that members of momentum should be held to a higher standard than those in the ordinary labour party. they also acknowledged the anger and upset filled by members of the jewish the anger and upset filled by members of thejewish community and commit themselves to rooting out anti—se

labour's version says party members should resist using nazi metaphors, but adds it is not anti—semiticevidence of anti—semitic intent. labour says it's trying to make the code to enforce, but critics argue it makes anti—semitism harder to prove, and the original international definition must be adopted. we need leadership from the top, to turn round the situation, and that can be done byjeremy saying to the people out there who are creating the offence, "don't do it," and leading from the front. let's get this declaration agreed straightaway. # 0h, jeremy corbyn...#. but so far, despite the anger and the protests, jeremy corbyn hasn't changed his mind. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. the far—right activist tommy robinson has been freed on bail after winning a challenge against a ruling of contempt of court. the former leader of the english defence league had been given a i3—month jail term. thejudgement said he had livestreamed a video of himself talking about a grooming trial at leeds crown court involving asian men, which is subject to reporting restrictions. lucy manning has mor

this week, it'sjeremy corbyn, his attitude and that of his party towardsjews which has generated days of headlines. labourrporating an internationally accepted definition of anti—semitism into the party's code of conduct. mr corbyn agrees to the definition but doesn't want it to include one of the examples — claiming that the existence of israel is a racist endeavour — because he says it needs "contexualising". he fears it could blunt legitimate criticism of israeli government treatment of palestinians. ned, as a former editor of the jewish chronicle, how badly has this been handled by britain's labour party? it's like a marx brothers movie. it's been handled extraordinarily badly. but the serious aspect of this, without getting into the weeds of a definition of anti—semitism, is that a little bit like boris and the burqa and the niqab, it's been very revealing of the character of corbyn as a politician and his personal character. and it is frankly nonsense to say that to include in a definition of anti—semitism, i think the exact wording isn't the problem of defining israel as a racist state, but any sta
