care sector is saying it is nowhere near enough and i think there be some disappointment that the labour partyder the national health service which is under huge pressure as a result of the pressures on the care sector, inextricably linked and labour came in with a slogan of creating a national care is a best without having a plan for that and now it will take another three years to get to what a national care service looks like so frustration in the care sector and for families and people basing their relatives are themselves facing care. huge financial pressures to grapple with in the short term.— around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. police are investigating after the father of sara sharif was reportedly assaulted in prison weeks after being jailed for the ten—year—old's murder. according to the sun newspaper urfan sharif is said to have been attacked at belmarsh prison on new year's day by two other inmates in a cell. he's said to have suffered cuts to his neck and face, and it is understood he received medical treatment inside the prison. a prison service spokesperson said

the labour party has adopted the app definition of islam phobia, the same report said talking about that was an example of islam phobia. this is why people are scared to tell the truth. the lack of clarity, the lack of clarity, the lack of clarity means they are smeared by association. that's not fair and only a national inquiry can solve this. will the prime minister look at the labour party's adoption of the definition of islam phobia, its chilling effect and rule out introducing it in government? >> prime minister. >> i will call out any aspect that prevented anybody coming forward or any case going forward when it comes to child abuse or child sexual exploitation as i have been doing for the best part of 15 years. but yes, some people will say there should be a further inquiry. that means all the victims and survivors need to be in a position to do so. i've been speaking to them. some think they are. it will take time. all free institutions, that will take time, delay things to a point. but we already know, we already know what the major flaws are. we should get on with that action.

>> let me give you the big picture, the labour party really contrasted themselves with the conservativessaying remember the specter of liz truss? rachel reed has put herself in a straitjacket, she said there will be no more tax rises, no austerity, one physical event in gear and she will stick to her fiscal rules of only borrowing to invest. she has really box herself in here. this is high risk because at the october budget she left herself a big margin for error, really relying with a hope and a prayer that the economy was going to grow. we know that growth has been in the doldrums, so then after the budget, she sat down and had the yield spike and pretty much the headroom was evaporating. now we've got the global bond rout and she is really boxed in. so what is she going to do? she tried to calm the market yesterday, she's off to beijing at the weekend. that's about the long-term to try to rustle up more investment for the future, but she needs to deal with this now. she was planning to do a speech when she got back from beijing reaffirming her commitment to the fiscal rules, but we co

but, never count out the labour party and the conservative party because, people have decided that and i think we said this last week, didn't we, that there were i was banging on about actually during the coalition era. and then at times also when the snp was really riding high, there are many political moments when it's been fashionable to say, "and this means the end of the two—party system in the uk". and then actually with first past the post, lo and behold, something rather different happens. well, we'll see. here is a development which is very much between the two main parties, which will be a growing story in the next seven days — we all know. it is that the leader of the conservatives, kemi badenoch, has called on the anti—corruption minister, tulip siddiq, to be sacked. correct. so, henry, if people haven't been paying attention to this story, what are the bare bones of it that you need to know? it's a complicated story. and let me begin by saying, obviously, it would be preposterous for me to pretend to be an expert in bangladeshi politics. i'm not. tulip siddiq's aunt, she

but i do think our two—party system, and in a weird way, despite labour winning a massive landslide, a small share of the vote in relative terms, you know, the 2024 election demonstrated this, i think our two party system is straining more than it has done for some time. but look, yeah, i mean, it's plausible dominic cummings will start a new party. but, never count out the labour party and the conservative party because people have decided that a new era is coming before. 0k. and i think we said this last week, didn't we. that there were... i was banging on about actually during the coalition era. and then at times also when the snp was really riding high. there are many political moments when it's been fashionable to say, "and this means the end of the two—party system in the uk," and then actually with first past the post, lo and behold, something rather different happens. well, we'll see. here is a development which is very much between the two main parties, which will be a growing story in the next seven days. we all know it is that the leader of the conservatives, kemi badenoch

and i think the anger isn't directed at the labour or conservative parties.s because they think we've got the courage to do what's necessary to turn this around. but what do you plan to do with that? i mean, what's your dream scenario for 2025, 2025? it's to build the structure of the party, you know, and since really august of last year, we've tried with nothing to build branch structure, to put in place a very rigorous and i mean extremely rigorous vetting procedure for candidates at all levels, because that was the big failing, you know, of what we had at the last election. huge failing, no question about that. 2025 was about getting that machine actually working to start to win some victories. our ultimate goal, and i'm notjoking, is to win the next general election. you say you've done it with nothing. you have had a very useful thing, the support and the oxygen of the support from someone who's on his way back to the white house and elon musk, the richest man in the world, who just happens to also own one of the biggest social media platforms in the wor

wants to fix this problem once and for all, however, what does he have any guarantee that the labour party louise casey comes up with? does he have any guarantee that he will be able to do what he really wants to do, get all of the parties to agree to it in 2028, so theoretically it could be in all of their manifestos next time round and not something they all use against each other and fight about? he's got no guarantee of either of those things. his supporters in what he would say is that you cannot fault us for trying and we are sincerely trying to get on with trying to fix this. even though there is still sort of thing is that the government has to grapple with. your mac it's unusual for us, we it's unusual for us, we normally have henry zeffson here, he's obviously got a day off, which is marvellous. we will be back next saturday and we will be hoping to have some of these reactions from some of these new casters. i can't help asking, are you doing dry january? i'm not doing dryjanuary, i think that these things are thrust upon you by the people. if you want to cut down or stop, you c

that is the mathematical reality of the fact that in our general election injuly last year, the labour partyly win any vote they like. and the conservatives know this. so what are they trying to do? it is not that they wouldn't like to win this vote, it is that they are trying to illustrate what is an increasingly stark difference of opinion between the labour government and the conservative opposition. that is over whether there should be a new national inquiry into grooming gangs, an issue which has rocketed up the political agenda at the start of this year, primarily thanks to the posts on social media of elon musk. now, the labour government position is that there does not need to be a new inquiry. what they actually need to do is to increment the accommodations are previous inquiries, some into child sexual abuse, sorry, some into grooming gangs, but others which more generally looked up to the issue of child sexual abuse. that is what the governor says they are going to do, they say they are going to do, they say they are going to do so speedily. whether keir starmer is right that are

it matters not just to me and the labour party, but it ought to matter and it used to matter to all political parties and it is a sign of where the tory party have got to that we are even having this debate. thank you. robert. w having this debate. thank you. robert.- critics - having this debate. thank you. robert.- critics will - having this debate. thank you. robert.- critics will say l robert. chris? critics will say it is not a _ robert. chris? critics will say it is not a far _ robert. chris? critics will say it is not a far right _ it is not a far right bandwagon. the report said there — bandwagon. the report said there were six towns, rochdale -ot there were six towns, rochdale got one — there were six towns, rochdale got one mention. we found court reports _ got one mention. we found court reports gangs operating in 50 towns — reports gangs operating in 50 towns across the country. are you certain — towns across the country. are you certain as prime minister it is_ you certain as prime minister it is not— you certain as prime minister it is not going on today? why don't — it is not g

>> well, yes, but call me cynical, but historically, traditionally, most of the voters for the labour partye density of voters are in urban areas. yes. and most of the voters for the conservatives are in the rural areas. so i think obviously that keir starmer will have done some kind of risk calculation before the budget to see whether he could introduce some of these really tough measures and still get away with it. and i think he's still he's still pressing forward because i don't think he's met enough resistance yet. >> do you think it all comes down? and perhaps that's the same with the winter fuel payments. it is that many pensioners, labour, although they have picked up about 100 rural seats at the last election, it's quite difficult for some of these new labour mps. that's right, to face their constituents. yeah, adrian. >> but the problem is that the money that they'll be saving or making is pittance, just like the winter fuel allowance. i mean, when you think, you know, it's been announced on tv yesterday, ed miliband's net zero campaign cult i would say is 37 billion. actually it'

budget under the new labour party administration in october.een growing concerned about the amount of debt they are looking to sell in order to fund their spending plan. 297 billion pounds worth of debt in this fiscal year. those options are coming through this week as the year gets underway. they seem to have provided a reminder to investors. this is something they need to pay closer attention to. this is why we are seeing this more dramatic move. scarlet: not just bonds, the pound under pressure, one dollar 23 cents, the lowest since april. bonds and currencies selling off together. usually higher rates will attract investors which supports the currency. >> exactly. it is a particularly the bad sign. when you see rates in the currency moving, higher yields and lower currency, that is a sign of a broader lack of confidence in that particular country. normally you would expect high yields to woo investors to come in. this is not a good sign. couple it with the fact we see u.k. stocks falling as well, particularly the domestic focus. it is sendi

that a college educated party leadership doesn't mean that the party itself shouldn't broadly pro labour partyhave found kind of surprising, again watching the democrats from a different vantage point of how much it used to be about unions and labor and -- as the other speaker said in the segment about people who produce things. we have moved towards a knowledge society, but not everybody is there, and a lot of people feel left behind. >> i want your reaction to that. to piggyback on what tom said, this critique of democrats not understanding or not being as fluent in the language of the boardroom, more fluent in the language. boardroom than the barbershop is not new. this is not a new conversation. we have heard this and it has led to somewhat of slips with respect to latino voters, with respect to black male voters, marginally, and also with overall working-class americans. so you know better than anyone else, where within the democratic apparatus is the breakdown occurring such that this connection isn't being made? >> you know something? i won 11 straight elections. i lost the first one. t

front runners to fill the position ken martin the current chair of the minnesota democratic former labour partyome to fox news sunday. >> thank you so much for having me. >> shannon: let's talk a little bit postelection analysis. our fox news analysis say they favor president trump on nine points on crime, ten points on the economy, 16 to 17 points on immigration. what has been your assessment of why the message did not connect better with the american people and is there any internal agreement with the democratic party? >> we are still analysing everything from last year we know we have lost ground with latino voters and with working-class households and with women and young voters. a whole group of demographics and parts of our coalition need to do better with for sure. as you mention we lost ground in some of these important issues and we need to really get to the bottom of that but one of the things that surprised me last year and should have been a red flag for our party is our process of the two parties and the majority of americans now believe the republicans are best suited to the worki

structural change to the system, it has always been torpedoed or opposed by the opposition parties. and labours argument is this review is needed, this extra time is needed to provide an opportunity to come to a political consensus because when this commission reports in 2028, we will be one year out from a general election, so labour could face a situation of accepting the commission recommendations and going into the next election presenting what should be a big, radical plan to shake up the structure and provision and funding of social care. it's a political risk but i don't think there will be any new options on the table as a result of this review. it's not as if the options and proposals have not been discussed before. it doesn't appear like we are going to expect any new ideas. it's more that this gives a chance for politicians to come together and actually agree we are going to get behind whatever the outcome of this commission is so that when the next election comes around opposition parties are not tempted to present the plans negatively, and say we will deal with this once and for a

labour's hope is that all the political parties in this intervening period will have agreed on the bestection in all those years' time that it won't be pounced upon and turned against them. let's get more on our top story now and that interview by cbs by the brother of the attacker. let's speak to cbs reporter kati weis who is in new orleans. it is certainly a question that is on everyone's mines when something horrific like this happens is who was this person and why could this have happened? now we're finally getting some more information, some more details about this person directly from his brother. his brother spoke with us, did not want to share his name but told us that he was shocked by what happened. he said that he originally when he heard about this attack he just assumed it was someone having mental health crisis and delete my old maybe was somebody angry. he had no idea, never would have suspected it was his own brother. just for some context, he and his brother are 18 years apart but we are learning that they did get closer recently due to some health issues in theirfamily

academies introduced by the last labour government and expanded by the party opposite have been instrumental they have delivered brilliant results particularly for the most disadvantaged children and will continue their record of excellence under this labour government. yet this consensus must not stifle progress and what the party opposite did make some progress over the past 14 years, it must reckon with its many failures. one in four children leaving primary school without meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. tens of thousands of children not securing good maths or english gcses. one in five children regularly absent from school, unable to learn if they aren't there, holding back their classmates when they return. hundreds of thousands of children in schools that perform poorly year after year. schools that perform poorly year afteryear. protecting schools that perform poorly year after year. protecting the foundations should not mean that we don't build on them. and after a decade, and i say a decade because i know members opposite will remember a time when they t

various properties which are or were owned by people with links to her political party including a flat in central london which labour to her parents. and the ft newspaper said the businessman gifting her that that has links to her aunt although the labour source points out it would be linked, it would be wrong to link tulip siddiq to these political organisations for that the prime minister said she was right to your affairs after the ethics watchdog and the conservative say that there are questions to answer. i think the move today is an effort to try to resolve this issue which has been hanging over the government for a number of weeks. it is also awkward, ironic of course that the minister now forced to deny financial corruption is also the uk government minister tasked with tackling it. two films have won big at the golden globes, the musical thriller, emilia perez, which tells the story of a mexican drug lord who changes gender, won four prizes, and the brutalist, about a holocaust survivor trying to succeed in america, took three awards. emma vardy, has more from los angeles. known as hollywood's biggest party

he's also supported nigel farage's reform uk party and has made controversial attacks on keir starmer, saying he was complicit in the rape of britain and the laboury into child sexual abuse by grooming gangs. it's a disgraceful smear keir starmer and jess phillips, by the way, who have both been on the receiving end of completely illjudged and ill founded criticism, are people who have done in their professional lives more than most people will ever do to lock up paedophiles, rapists, wife beaters and every other kind of scumbag in our society. but nigel farage said musk was a hero who was right to raise the issue. what has happened to our country? - how could this possibly have happened? - why did everybody. want to cover it up? drip feed, drip feed, dripfeed~ _ no big, full national public inquiry. - jess phillips. jess phillips has denied that the conservative . administration before equally denied that. i but the question that i... and by the way, our americanj friends, ouramerican friends, and musk is one of them, look at what's happened i with utter disbelief. there have been several inquiries into child sexual abuse, including in rotherham

consensus, obviously the massive labour majority don't actually need to have that — they could just go ahead and implement any of the proposals without the help of other partiesext general election, and history tells us that when you get into that, which is really the heat of that kind of election battle, it's the worst time to try and get political consensus. so as you say, the conservatives today saying that the government needs to be bold and ambitious, and the liberal democrats, who spent a lot of time during the election campaigning on the issue of care, they think all this could be done and dusted in a year. 1ficki they think all this could be done and dusted in a year. vicki young, thanks very _ and dusted in a year. vicki young, thanks very much. _ let's speak to emily holzhausen, director of policy and public affairs at carersuk. we saw a clip of one of your colleagues in allison's report earlier, so would be good to talk in a bit more detail. perhaps you could begin by describing the state of aduu begin by describing the state of adult social care right now as you seeit? adult social care right now as you see it? �* , . ., ., , . see it? it's a fund
