john mcdonnell hasn't yet expanded on that but will do in his speech this morning.you, matthew. french investigators are trying to establish whether an egyptian man who tried to attack a soldier with a machete at the louvre museum in paris was acting alone. guards shot and wounded the man during the attack in paris. reports say the 29—year—old arrived in france last month, police have not released his identity. our correspondent,jonny dymond, is in paris. some information coming from the authorities, can you bring us up—to—date? authorities, can you bring us up-to-date? we know that this attacker who is now in serious condition in hospital having been shotin condition in hospital having been shot in the stomach, we know he's an egyptian national and is 29 years old. some names are flying around, but the authorities themselves have not released it. he appears to have come into harry ‘s onjanuary the 26, ona come into harry ‘s onjanuary the 26, on a tourist visa that was issued in dubai, for one month. police raided what they said was his apartment on friday and seize

john mcdonnell said the legislation was needed to end years of excessive profits.read criticism of npower who have announced price rises of up to 15% for some customers. ian watson reports. labour has not exactly been cooking with gas in the opinion polls, but with npower increasing some of its energy prices by 9%, the party sees an opportunity to appeal to people struggling to get by. people's wages have largely been frozen since 2007—08 in the economic crash and since then that inflation has began to hit them as i know they are being hit by massive increases in energy prices. it is unacceptable saw in the short and we will have a cap and introduce legislation to do that. last year poured cold water on the idea of price caps, but labour say this will be a temporary measure until the market is reformed. haven't we been here before? the next labour government will freeze gas and electricity prices until the start of 2017. ed miliband's plan to freeze energy prices was popular at first, but did not win labour an election. after the last election labour's former polic

john mcdonnell made the point earlier today that in the last 20 months, there have been leadership electiont year, jeremy corbyn extended his majority. i think there isa extended his majority. i think there is a sense within those, even those who have concerns about his leadership, that it is just not worth pursuing that line and trying to unseat him because frankly, they know that if they did, they would lose. their concern, though, is that if they don‘t do something, if they can‘t persuade jeremy if they don‘t do something, if they can‘t persuadejeremy corbyn to change his style, potentially, the party could lose the next general election. so in terms of reconnecting with working people, which is what we heard again today, what is labour going to do now to try to do that with this loss in copeland? i think the message from the party‘s leadership, and we have heard today not just jeremy the party‘s leadership, and we have heard today notjustjeremy corbyn but the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell and the shadow attorney general, shami chakrabarti, that labour needs to unite around the leade

john mcdonnell is a blaming the defeat in copeland on divisions in the parliamentary labour party butto with that analysis. i think, to be fair to the labour party, they have seen their vote in the copeland constituency here diminishing in recent yea rs. constituency here diminishing in recent years. they are saying it is effectively a marginal rather than a safe seat. they say the conservatives sent out a lot of misinformation onjeremy corbyn‘s position on the nuclear industry. the argument that there is special circumstances against this backdrop of division but talking to campaign is here, they weren't saying that the parliamentary party wasn't supported enough ofjeremy corbyn. i've been told by left—wing labour mps, people close tojeremy corbyn, theissue mps, people close tojeremy corbyn, the issue of his leadership was coming up unprompted on the doorstep. i spoke to the person who co—ordinated labour's campaign here. he is thejoint co—ordinated labour's campaign here. he is the joint national coordinator of campaigns for labour. his responsibility as to whether labour is going t
