jeremy corbyn supporters in scotland went a particularfan of corbyn supporters in scotland went a particularshing to get that. the problem they have visitors and obviously backhanded it is. there's only 2a msp is in the scottish parliament for the labour party. who the obvious candidate on the left is isn't clear. we thought it could be neil findlay a lothian msp who led jeremy corbyn's leadership campaign in scotland. he has ruled himself out. as has alex rowley who is closely connected to the corbyn team in london. we think possibly the most likely corbyn friendly candidate will be a not particularly well—known labour msp called richard leonard. he is still to confirm explicitly that he will stand although i understand he is considering it. it's likely he will face a challenge from anas sarwar a former labour mp. he lost his westminster seat in the 2015 rout when labour was reduced to one mp in scotland. but he came into the scottish parliament in the holyrood election last year. he's done quite well in the health brief over the last few months and he is quite well thought of amongst diffe

jeremy corbyn was in the spotlight in edinburgh today talking about brexit.wn mps want him to go further and commit to permanent single market membership. what people would now like to see, building on this important step forward, is for the labour party to commit to single membership and customs union after the transition period after the uk has left the european union. but some labour mps who backed brexit don't want to see the leader moving further in that direction. jeremy is on a journey. i have not been on a journey. so i think people can keep the faith with those of us, labour mps who campaigned to come out, and to know we're not doing any ratting or u—turning or anything else. it's a difficult balancing act, appealing to both remain and leave voters. jeremy corbyn did it at the last election, but that may be difficult to repeat as he clarifies his position on brexit. time now for all the sports news in sport today. hello. this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme: liverpool hammer arsenal 4—0 in the english premi

he was then asked if mr corbyn would personally condemn the venezuelan government.stituency, it's not the first thing that people ask me about. what's going on is unacceptable, we've said so and the labour party have made it abundantly clear that that is their position. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour but first, the headlines on bbc newsroom live. members of a terrorist cell from the west midlands who call themselves the three musketeers have been found guilty at the old bailey of planning an attack against police and military targets. prison governors warned that many jails military targets. prison governors warned that manyjails in england and wales are in crisis, saying recent and worst —— unrest is linked toa recent and worst —— unrest is linked to a poor regime. a number of drug poisoning death including legal and illegal drugs reached their highest level on record in england and wales last year. hello. asda says sales fell 5.7% last year faced with tough competition in the grocery market. pre—tax profit were down nearly 19% to £792 million

which was not the positionjeremy corbyn had outlined. the thing that annoys mei had outlined.hat annoys me i will brexit stories, and you could say this on an awful lot of political stories, is that when you see two opposing newspapers you think you were reading completely different stories. it is frustrating when you think that the truth is in the middle somehow. as so often is the middle somehow. as so often is the case. also about this brexit story is lot of people nowadays like to say they are so —— there is so much buyers‘ regret from people who voted out, and everyone is now convinced it‘s a terrible idea. it‘s simply not true. david cowling who i‘m sure viewers will know, a fantastic expert on polls and elections, very respected, did a big piece earlier this week really analysing all the polls since the referendum. public opinion has not shifted one jot. it referendum. public opinion has not shifted onejot. it has referendum. public opinion has not shifted one jot. it has shifted referendum. public opinion has not shifted onejot. it has shifted one point which is within

jeremy corbyn was very diplomatic with his language.e has had time to think it over. he was askedif had time to think it over. he was asked if he condemned it? he said he condemned the violence and the violence would not solve the issue. butjeremy corbyn has in the past praise mr maduro's regime. he says his success in policy areas like improving health and education were a cause for celebration. but when he was asked to condemn him today, the diplomatic answer he gave was there has been widespread support for this socialist regime, that he also supported the improvements that have been made to health and social care, but he condemned the violence. he picked up on that point that when an economy is dependent on oil prices, it is too dependent on one particular source and this was the wea kness particular source and this was the weakness and this should have been addressed earlier. defenders of jeremy corbyn say this is the silly season, all these attacks on his views are politically motivated. but there are some in his own cabinet who a

but she also has form for criticising jeremy corbyn. not do myjob, and i think it‘s now extremely difficult forjeremy corbyn to continue. times change, kezia dugdale now backs mr corbyn, loyally supporting his scottish tour last week. still, the left never quite forgave her, arguing that scottish labour needed to embrace the full corbyn programme. but, she told me, she was definitely not bowing to pressure. i refute that completely. what i‘m trying to do is something that politicians rarely do, which is to leave with my head held high, without any sort of crisis. are you going before you were pushed ? absolutely not. reasons for going — she faced an intense spell as leader, through successive elections. she takes credit for helping rescue scottish labour from oblivion. plus personalfactors, the break up of a longstanding relationship, the death of her closest friend. rivals praised her efforts. we‘re opponents, but i‘ve always admired the guts and the determination that she‘s brought to that task, in the most difficult of times. kezia d

justjeremy corbyn's reaction, as you heard, but we will bring it to you as we get it.e, celtic are playing the first leg of their champions league qualifier against the kazakhstan champions. celtic had the best early chance, leigh griffiths just off target. then tomas rogic went on an amazing run. thanks to a deflection off the shot by one of the defenders it's 1-0 to shot by one of the defenders it's 1—0 to the scottish champions. that's the score in glasgow with ten minutes to go till half—time. arsenal manager arsene wenger says the club haven't made any progress yet on a new contract for alexis sanchez. the chile international, who has less than a year to go on his contract, has been linked with a move away from the club. however, wenger insists sanchez isn't for sale and wants him to see out his current deal — even if that means he walks away for free at the end of the season. we had to make a choice between efficiency on the field and financial interest. most of the time if you can find a good compromise its better. but in this case i think i prioritise the fact

but critics say mr corbyn needs to go much further than that. the labour leader is back where he feels comfortable, addressing enthusiastic supporters. over the next few weeks though his aim is to win over those who voted conservative two months ago. vicky young, bbc news, crawley. the expected disruption from major engineering works at britain‘s busiest train station hasn‘t so far materialised. many trains were less crowded on the first working day since the upgrade began at waterloo. more than half of the platforms are being closed for extension work to accommodate longer trains. they‘ll stay shut until the end of august. norfolk police have warned people to stay away from a woodland area after a dog—walker in his 80s was stabbed to death. the body was found near east harling. the man was described as a "family man". alex dunlop has the details. a few metres in from the cordon, you canjust make out a forensics van. as a police helicopter circles overhead, officers continue to look for clues in an area of open heathland. a member of the public

what does jeremy corbyn really think about brexit?f he looks at the first years at the old they were party, they were all anti-eu. if you want to bring real socialism to this country, you cannot do that inside the eu. instinctsat his perhaps speak volumes. his instincts are to let they sure take its course, stand back, let the tories rip themselves apart and let the clock tick. happen, know what will but i think that the most plausible view is that jeremy corbyn, partly for ideological reasons, 2022, the next election, labor picks up -- labour picks up the pieces, conservatives said they will negotiate a fantastic deal which they will not be able to do. it will be up to jeremy corbyn to stand back and let the hard brexit happen. vonnie: give us some investment ideas. guest: that is more interesting. i think you should buy dollars. the dollar selloff has gone too far. hikenk the fed is going to rates a couple of times this year. you're getting paid to own dollars because the interest differential is still there. interesting fact. marke

a number of people have criticised jeremy corbyn.e way some people see it. jeremy corbyn was asked if she was sacked. he said no. but nonetheless, people feel it was wrong that sarah champion felt that her position became untenable. that is, of course, because we have seen a succession of cases coming through the courts in which gangs of mostly south asian men have been convicted of grooming and exploiting young girls. that has led to questions of why it seems that the disproportionate number of asian men are being convicted of this crime. it is something that a number of people have tried to tackle. it is a very difficult issue as to whether races playing a part in this, and as to whether ethnicity and fear of being called racist is a barrier to police getting to the truth of what in some cases is happening and has been happening in many towns and cities across the country, as these convictions are approved. however, forjeremy corbyn, sarah champion‘s comments were wrong. he has accepted her resignation. he said it was wrong to sing

tell us more about this response from jeremy corbyn?n sarah champion's comments. she stood down last night, he accepted her resignation and when asked what she sacked, he said no. butjeremy corbyn has put the emphasis is on the crime, saying abuse and exploitation of women is a crime against women and girls, no matter who the perpetrators and saying it has been wrong to basically tar and whole community with the same brush. i don't think you can label a whole community. i think what you have to do is label those that perpetrate disgusting and disgraceful crimes against people. and they can be from any community. they can be white, they can be black, they can be any community, but they have to be dealt with as the crime of what it is. a number of people have criticised jeremy corbyn from these comments and they have hit back at sarah champion's resignation saying she has been pushed out from her position was simply addressing an issue and telling the truth and saying something may be other politicians were afraid to do. there has been a

also criticism from ukip, saying that labour has betrayed its voters and jeremy corbyn has abandonedmunna, here on the news channel, was arguing that that's not the case, they're not letting down people who voted for brexit, particularly when it comes to freedom of movement. has he got a point there? because he said the freedom of movement can be interpreted in different ways in different countries. it can, but the eu has been clear at all stages that you cannot cherry—pick the benefits of membership. so if you're part of single market, then you're signed up to freedom of movement. now, who knows? brussels may well decide to agree to a special case for the uk, with perhaps extra controls on immigration, whilst maintaining the other benefits of staying within the single market. but certainly they've given no indication they will be prepared to do that early on in this negotiation process. so there may well be many labour voters who voted leave scratching their heads are looking at this and thinking, well, it sounds a lot like staying in the eu indefinitely, perhaps staying in by the b

emma, there has been a bit of a backlash againstjeremy corbyn for not supporting sarah champion.een saying in response to that. sarah champion was on the end of a lot of criticism for her comments in the sun. others have hit back and said that what she was saying was fact but nonetheless the pressure on her has increased. a number of labour party members called on her to be sacked and last night she stepped down. jeremy corbyn accepted her resignation and said she was not sacked. but he has been pressed today for his opinion on her comments, particularly on the issue of race and this crime. what he said is he has very much put the emphasis on the crime itself. he said this is a crime against women no matter who it is committed by and he has spoken out about what he says of her comments were wrong to make a sweeping generalisation about an entire community. i do not think you can label lay an entire community. i think you have to label those who perpetrate disgusting and disgraceful crimes and they can be from any community. they can be white, black, they can be any community but

the problem has been thatjeremy corbyn has been vague, evasive, and seemsjust to corbyn has been vaguethe european community, were capitalist conspiracy. we have come off that and what keir starmer, definitely withjohn mcdonnell and what keir starmer, definitely with john mcdonnell behind and what keir starmer, definitely withjohn mcdonnell behind him on this, what he has done, is coming to a position of soft brexit. as the economy softens next year, as confidence sacks, possibly, because of oncoming brexit, and we are seeing indicators for that, i think this will play out very strongly. there is good politics involved in this as well. it still plays to the tories and to the government, their strengths, as long as they can get momentum growing. as soon as you get out into the process, we could soon go over the edge, in that the tory party, and this is where the coming co nfe re nce party, and this is where the coming conference will be so interesting, will be seen to be more to be fighting within itself, and suddenly labour really does have momentum. it is very interesting. and next we

keir starmer says one thing and diane abbott and jeremy corbyn say different things.ar. this is seven years of lack investment in the economy. eventually that comes home to roost, as the time we exit telling exits europe. we have the perfect storm of brexit, the government's economic policies all coming together to slow down. it's not just the last six or 12 coming together to slow down. it's notjust the last six or 12 months since the referendum vote, it's what's happened over the past seven yea rs, what's happened over the past seven years, frankly. you pointed out at the beginning that people's credit cards are maxed out, you are suggesting people spend their way out of this? i am not saying that. we have to invest in our economy, the government have used borrowing to pay our day—to—day running costs, the equivalent of a family borrowing to pay its food bill. that has to stop and has to be turned around. you have to have investment, not just to pay the —— not to pay the electricity bill but investment in capital and country. that is the way forward. our productivit

her 7-year-old son corbyn who is autistic being carried by school staff by his hands and feet, at one point dragged by his ankle to an office. >> it was like a punch in the gut. i wanted to grab corbyn and hug him and not let him go. >> reporter: since the incident in ohio, the police investigation found the boy was hitting and biting other people on the playground. and the teacher said he injured her eye. cameras don't capture that. the county prosecutor declined to pursue felony child charges saying the video is troubling but not every wrong is a crime. we showed the video to a psychologist. >> it never should have gotten to that place. >> reporter: with a deep background in special education. >> once you try to deescalate the situation. keep the child safe where the child is. >> reporter: an attorney for the teacher and teacher's aid did not respond to our request for comment. they remained on administrative leave and could face disciplinary action. >> you never want to think that any of your employees are capable of doing something like that. >> reporter: bonnie mckeen posted the

for example, the other day mr corbyn wouldn't name mr maduro directly.l sides." he says "we have to recognise that there have been effective and serious attempts at reducing poverty in venezuela." you know, is that satisfactory, as far as you are concerned, from a leading western politician in response to the crisis? not at all, and it is impossible to defend the undefendable. when you can see clearly the violation of human rights and the crimes against humanity that have been committed in the last four months, it is impossible to defend the quote—unquote socialist utopia. it is actually a dystopia. it is unsustainable. you can see the inflation — maduro has actually done something incredible. he has converted venezuela to be the first country in corruption, inflation, violence. and this is completely unsustainable, and it is unacceptable. so i think that the... your problem is, the more you list the failings and the tragedy of venezuela today, the more i am left scratching my head as to why it is that — and remember, i was in venezuela relatively recent

jeremy corbyn is pretty quiet at the moment had the big reason for that is because he is undoubtedlysituation there as we all are and it is very clear that venezuela has been administered in an absolutely appalling manner for decades and policies have failed and the state could descend into civil war and outright disaster. what is wrong, however, is to look at a hugely complicated social and political situation through what i would call the trump prism, meaning that it is being simplified into a battle between right—wingers and left—wingers and the idea is that we are meant to pick a side according to old cold war cliches run by propaganda, but the reality is that there have always been endemic problems in south american societies and the real problems are not necessarily caused by governments, but they are also caused by a few families and indeed cartels who amass all of the wealth and this creates huge problems as far as the fabric of south american society is concerned and it takes far more sophisticated solutions to deal with that than simply having a left — right political argum

this is what i'm hearing and if we look at what happened in the uk jeremy corbyn was fought by his own party at every single turn. he won the leadership and he was sabotage. he faced an internal coup where they tried to unseat him as leader and then he held on and now after the election results which were so surprising, where he won i believe 32 when he was supposed to have been wiped out. people admits that this is the way to win elections and we will see whether the democratic party learns from that or not. i think the corbyn campaign is going to be a fight and there are some who say it's not even worth fighting within the democratic party. we will see. this goes a tough one because there are so many other samples in europe where it hasn't been transformation within traditional parties. it's actually the new parties that have cropped up that have captured the public imagination and one tremendous victories whether it's the example in greece or the progressive parties in france or portugal. who knows how we'll go? the hard thing in the united states as we have this winner-take-all sys
