the labour party has dropped an investigation into the senior mp dame margaret hodge. was launched against her last month following a confrontation with leaderjeremy corbyn, over claims of anti—semitism in the party. our political correspondent, jessica parker, is in westminster. so the action dropped, another twist in this long—running saga, jessica, isn't it? alow yes, i know for many it feels like a long—running saga but tonight is a significant development, dame margaret hodge is a long serving veteran labour mp. she was pretty angry when she learned she was being investigated following an angry confrontation with the labour leaderjeremy corbyn over his handling of the anti—semitism issue. at the time she said she didn't understand what she was being investigated for and tonight we learned that investigation has been dropped, and a labour party source said margaret hodge had expressed regret for the way she had expressed herself. now, interestingly, dame margaret quickly took to twitter and is there had been no apology from either side, and what's more, she shared

s margaret hodge doesn't even know what she has been accused of. ——s margaret hodge.robust conversations in parties. as it mean you should have a disciplinary charge? labour has refused to accept all of the examples. there are extremely highly respected, knighted, jewish lawyers who have come out and said there is a problem with the examples, certainly. but it could suppress legitimate criticism of israel. if i werejeremy corbyn or pa rt israel. if i werejeremy corbyn or part of the inner circle, i would give this general —— gift this example and get them to come back and ask how it should be adjusted so we can still criticised the policies of the state of israel. he's trying to address that in the piece he wrote in the guardian on saturday. where he said we need to listen a little bit more. we have been banging on about... that he should hand over the power. it should be handed over to them. did think it would do that? it if he had any sense, he would. it isn't up to any of us to do it. it is the people who have been most hurt by this will stop it seems labour party

also with us, margaret talib and josh. welcome to all of you. it's a grab bag today on the different topics. michael, starting with you. you just walked out and, you know, you tell me if there was any headline per se. but what i really want to know is is the white house explaining at all this turn around from this president on senator john mccain? >> well no. the white house is trying to turn the page of the john mccain story. their version of the john mccain story and obviously they have been having trouble doing that because the president has been unable to turn the other cheek. they opened up a meeting today with the head of fifa and the president and a lot of discussion inside the white house about whether or not that was in order to talk about something different. i will say all of the television sets i saw in the white house this afternoon were tuned to the lindsey graham eulogy from the senate floor and inside the oval office, a lot of talk of fifa. the president's very proud to bring the world cup to the u.s. in 2026. one funny moment. h
