this isn't some stellar incredible success for the labour party. 't like they have just won a seat in surrey or something like that, making tremendous advances against the conservative party, but what it does say is gives him time, breathing space, definitely see a leadership challenge. they won't even be murmurs of leadership challenge like we saw in the times earlier this week. it will allow him to get to the summer, think about what he will do, allow him to get to the party conference in late september, early october, and start to make his pitch not only to the labour party but also to the country. he has always wanted to do so but has been prevented by the pandemic. it gives them time, breathing space. it doesn't mean things will be easy for him, either for the labour party. you could argue that the result shouldn't have been endowed, the labour party should have definitely be on its way to downing street. this gives some time, breathing space. george galloway took over 8000 votes against those and the labour party would say about this that they

my message is, when the labour party sticks to its core values, is rooted in its communities and pullse can win, just as we've won here. this is the start, labour is back. for many, though, the credit lies with the candidate, the sister of the murdered mpjo cox. rooted in the community, for her, this campaign meant more than pure politics. what we've done really well in this campaign is we've listened to people and so i think that human connection is really important. and i think sometimes that is lost in politics. this area's littered with the evidence of what was a bruising campaign, fiercely contested and highly charged. there was tension and anger. for some labour supporters, it laid bare a disconnect that must still be overcome. there are elements in the community that don't feel represented, that don't feel they've got a voice. i think there is a massive amount of work to do bringing and rebuilding the community we have here. the former mp george galloway stood here, aiming to split the labour vote. he did attract support, coming third. his pitch was aimed at the area's large mus

ponies, you can see right through it. >> many working-class people, former labor voters feel the labour party has become a party of the metropolitan middle-class. one economist that it was the party of the public sector bourgeoisie andtheir teenagers . and that seems to be. it wins in london, it wins in oxford, wins in cambridge but it doesn't win in the part of the country that one is represented because it's no longer for the relatively poor and culturally conservative and patriotic people, and no longer stands for them. so i think the labour party has no future in britain. >> to follow up on that a little bit, i'm sure you keep an eye on us to. do you sense that the prime minister accomplished something in a more grateful and more appropriate way than president trump? that he's captured this community for his party and yet he doesn't have all the excesses that drive peoplee away from him ? >> yes, and you put it very well. i've don't think anyone called mister trump donald. or joe, but okay. you treat your presidents differently from the way we treat our prime ministers . but mister johnso

it was a politically motivated terrorist attack against the labour party, the work is used lake, and was more than one movement that was affected. an entire country was hit in the ground, but we got up again. norway was changed. ros: the majity of victims were young people, primarily teenagers attending a lour party youth camp. eight wreath laying ceremony was also held there. lisa has be -- husby was 19 years old at the time and one of the camp's leaders. >> the first time i realized that something was wrong on the island is justfter 5:00 that afternoon. we could hear what was our firecrackers, but whew for we could do anything, i saw this huge wall of people running towards me from by the docks, where the shots were coming from. you could see in their eyes that they had seen something terrible and i thought, i need to get somewhere safe, because something is wrong. ros: the attacks had a profound impact across norway. it is the country of 5 million people. it's was the headline of a norwegian newspaper. it translates as, 1 in 4 people affected. it goes on to say that a survey found

some scientists are morning but this move could come with risks attached, and the opposition labour partys morning. we have real concerns because there does not seem to be a system in place for an international vaccine passport which the government said they would bring forward. each individual u.s. state does things differently, they don't have a national health service with a vaccine program like we do with certifications, so we are concerned about making sure that new variants do not come into the u.kand that we have a system tt identifies where we have variants of covid, and we are able to isolate it. >> scotland and wales will also follow the new quarantine rules. the welsh government said, we regret the u.k.'s government proposals to fuher remove quarantine requirements, however, as we share an open border with england, it would be ineffective to introduce separate arrangements for wales. the plans are a boost to the aviation and tourism sectors have been pushing for a laxation of travel rules. let's get the reaction from the chief executive of heathrow airport. >> the government ne

the opposition labour party questioned what the lifting of restrictions, amid rising cases, will meane nhs covid app alerting people they've been in contact with someone who tested positive and telling them to self—isolate for up to ten days. that will come to an end in england in mid—august for those who are double jabbed. whether alerted by the app or test and trace officials, they'll simply be asked to get tested. secretary of state. the health secretary told mps it was part of the move towards more normal everyday life. step by step, jab byjab, we're replacing the temporary protection of the restrictions with the long—term protection of the vaccine. so we can restore the freedoms which we cherish, and the experiences that mean so much to us all. the latest numbers show nearly 29,000 daily reported cases and more than 400 patients admitted to hospital on monday. the government predicts 50,000 cases a day by i9july, and then, 100,000 a day possibly in august. one key member of a government advisory committee says predicting future hospital numbers is difficult, but he's not concerne

the opposition labour party agrees the economy must open up that it wants to see the science behind theorts. from the cobbles of york ..to the minster, a portrait of england wandering back to normal, as the government suggests legal rules including wearing face masks and checking into cafes are likely to go in a fortnight. i think it is fantastic. i'm not sure that masks have been such a great idea in the first place. personally, i won't wear it outside but i will continue to wear them in shops and enclosed spaces. i think there is a risk of another spike. - and cases are likely to rise, cabinet said today. it does look as if, thanks to the success of the vaccine programme, that we now have the scope to roll back those restrictions and return to normality as far as possible. we should all be prepared, though, that cases may continue to rise. they may continue to rise significantly, but we now have to move into a different period where we learn to live with the virus, we take precautions and we, as individuals, take personal responsibility. for the best part of 18 months, we've had to ge

remember the first election campaign i actively campaigned was 1983, when we all said that the labour partynd then in 1997, we said exactly the opposite thing, and we said that the conservatives would never be in government. so, you know, yes, they have the whip hand today, but the day will come when they're sitting over here, and they should consider how they would feel or will feel if the government of the day then treats them and their access to the playing field in this way. for one mp, it was a happy occasion. this is such _ a therapeutic exercise. it's ten years of hurt. i'm like a dog with a bone. the problem with the fixed—term parliaments act in 2011 was it - transferred responsibility for keeping the coalitionl together away from the leaders of each of the coalition - parties to parliament. it was never any of _ parliament's business to keep that coalition going. it was the responsibility of- david cameron and nick clegg, and i feel so much better for having got that off- of my chest. sir charles walker. the head of nhs england, sir simon stevens, has taken his place in the house

the opposition labour party agrees that the economy must open up, but it wants to see the science behindnment's decisions. our political correspondent chris mason has been giving me the latest. we will get the direction of travel from the government effectively saying that in england in a fortnight, that last stage of unlocking of the so—called road map will happen. subject to the data, which will be examined in a week, in other words, halfway between now and july 19, the pattern since the road map was published in february. we will remember those dates set out, every single date was met on time, every single one apart from the last one which was due to happen a fortnight ago and is now highly likely to happen in a fortnight. let's get to the specifics of what we are told this evening is coming. some of the review work that has been going on looking at some of the measures and whether they can be eased will be published tomorrow on social distancing, on so—called certification, this idea of covid passports, for internal use, in other to grant other words to grant you access to particular
