the mps have seen mr corbyn's attendance as a sign he isn't taking anti—semitism seriously.and has called anti—semitism a "vile and evil thing within our society, which needs to be eradicated wherever it arises". here's our political correspondent eleanor garnier. another morning, another row about anti—semitism in the labour party. 0ut campaigning in swindon but the questions coming jeremy corbyn's way, all about his relations with the jewish community after an way, all about his relations with thejewish community after an event he went to last night. do you regret going to that event last night? not in the slightest. why? i'm sorry but your question, i went to a very enjoyable and interesting evening, talking tojewish enjoyable and interesting evening, talking to jewish about their life in britain and the experiences they have had about anti—semitism and has a seed is the future for our country but i think that is what political leaders should do. the event was organised by jewdas, leaders should do. the event was organised byjewdas, a left—wing jewish group openly critica

deputies of britishjews and thejewish leadership council are expected to press for concrete action from mr corbynr the pain caused by what he described as pockets of anti—semitism. here's our political correspondent, jonathan blake. 0ne one month on from protests outside parliament, jeremy corbyn faces a meeting with those who say he has not done enough to tackle anti—semitism in the party. the labour leader has repeatedly condemned all forms of racism but he told the deputy political editor he has more than words to offer. we will discuss with them, the processes we have in our party, the new general secretary is working very ha rd new general secretary is working very hard on the issue, i have every confidence. it is a sorry state you are having to have this meeting at all. i have met them before and no doubt will meet them again because i reach out to all communities and have meetings with all organisations all the time. for some, patience is running out. labouranti-semitism is much worse since jeremy corbyn became leader. at least 80 cases of anti—semitism not dealt with. regularly almost dai

mr corbyn's supporters admit there is a wider problem of anti—semitism in the party, but they reject te act of defiance. but whatever the reason, by choosing to go to thejewdas event he has inflamed tensions rather than calming things down. chanting: shame on you! it has been a difficult week, there were even angry protests in westminster. mr corbyn might have condemned all forms of racism and apologised for the hurt caused by anti—semitism, but the problem is far from sorted. eleanor garnier, bbc news, westminster. the french rail network is facing severe disruption, on the first day of strikes against proposed reforms to the state—owned sncf rail company. for the next three months, unions have announced strikes on two days out of every five — representing the biggest test yet for president macron's reform agenda, which unions claim paves the way for privatisation. hugh schofield reports from paris. this morning, french travellers got a first taste of what may well become a regular and exhausting part of their daily lives in the weeks ahead. mass cancellations on the rail network mea

conspiracy, and thatis sort of right—wing conspiracy, and that is why this has aroused difficulties with mr corbynbbc news as an attack onjeremy corbyn, it does feed the possibility that they are out to get him, people do feel that. the labour mps that i have seen that have been criticising jeromy about this are sadly uninformed. and sadly ignorant about ourjewish customs, and i do find it offensive that non—jewish mps, or any non—word—mac, should be censoring something from the guido fawkes, which itself is full of real hate rhetoric. let me put to you what the mainstream jewish organisations have said. they have been critical of this as well. it is not just that small group of been critical of this as well. it is notjust that small group of mps. there is concern. thejewish community is a diverse community, thatis community is a diverse community, that is very many different opinions. that is very much part of the jewish opinions. that is very much part of thejewish tradition. the opinions. that is very much part of the jewish tradition. the jewish tradition is about having different viewpoints a

you could say so what, that shares many of mr corbyn's views.s mr corbyn's decision to attend is evidence that he does not ta ke attend is evidence that he does not take the problem of anti—semitism in the party seriously enough. local councils in england will have a legal duty to offer more help to anyone at risk of homelessness, as part of a new law coming into force today. previously, authorities only had to provide housing if people were judged to have a priority need. the government is giving councils money to fund the new measures but charities say the lack of affordable homes is a bigger problem. the leading cause of homelessness in this country is people not being able to afford their rent in the private rental sector. if we can sort out the benefit levels so it can reflect what it costs to rent properties, and get more affordable property is on to the market, then we can tackle and end homelessness in this country. we'll be speaking to the mp behind the new law and a woman who has experienced homelessness at 8:10 this morning. the ban o

that's something denied by mr corbyn, who says he absolutely recognises it is vile.ne thing after another, from the mural to those protests that took place outside parliament last monday, to the whole row around christine shawcroft and the council candidate, is this thing has been brought to a head. but we come back to that central point and central question you ask me a few minutes ago. how on earth does the party move on from this, with local elections and a good number of english cities coming up, and this dominating the headlines? i was going to raise the question of local elections, because we are pretty close to them, and what presumably labour wanted to be doing right now, taking the offensive to the government and to the conservatives, so i mean, they've had a few potential open goals, like the problems in northamptonshire, where they could attack conservative councils there, and say, "they can't run councils. they say we can't, but they can't." and they have what almost looks like an open goal in london in terms of these elections. most conservatives private

the board of deputies of britishjews and thejewish leadership council will urge mr corbyn to take "strongnd consistent" action. unwanted horses are being fly—tipped and left to die by irresponsible owners, the rspca has told this programme. the charity said it was regularly being called out to help animals dumped by their owners and had rescued 1,000 horses in england and wales last year. it said prosecution cases involving horses had risen by 25% since 2015. the uk's biggest network of food banks says it issued a record 1.3 million emergency supplies last year. the trussell trust says the 13% increase on the previous year has been driven by those on benefits not being able to afford basic essentials.

but mr corbyn said he‘d ‘learnt a lot‘ at the event, by talking to young people about their experiencestical correspondent ben wright reports. in politics, every choice matters. decisions send a signal and jeremy corbyn‘s choice to join a passover event last night organised by a left—wing jewish group has angered others in the broaderjewish community. but out campaigning in swindon today, the labour leader defended his attendance at the dinner. i spent the evening listening to them, talking to them about their experiences in modern britain. the issues of anti—semitism, which is a cancer, and awful in our society and has to be eradicated wherever it raises its head. ifound it an interesting evening, hearing different points of view. because if you want to lead, you also have to listen. the dinner was a public event,

some say it could simply be naivete, others have accused mr corbyn of a deliberate act of defiance.. chanting: shame on you! it has been a difficult week, there were even angry protests in westminster. mr corbyn might have condemned all forms of racism and apologised for the hurt caused by anti—semitism, but the problem is far from sorted. eleanor garnier, bbc news, westminster. joining me from our derby studio is chris williamson, labour mp for derby north who supports mr corbyn attending thejewdas event. thank you very much for being with us. thank you very much for being with us. as we heard in that report, hasn't he just inflamed tensions really by going to that event? at the very least, wasn't this a problem of timing. wouldn't he have been better advised to talk first to some of these mainstream jewish groups? that is an absurd assertion. he attended an event in his own constituency with a jewish group. to characterise that as inflaming tensions or somehow anti—semitic is ridiculous in my opinion. jeremy has got a proud and strong tradition of opposing racism as has the labour

mr corbyn and labour's general secretaryjenny formby have been meeting with the board of deputies andith jeremy our meeting withjeremy corbyn today was a disappointing missed opportunity regarding the problem of anti—semitism in the labour party. we welcome mr corbyn's personal involvement in the discussion and his new comments recognising and apologising for anti—semitism in the labour party, but he failed to agree to any of the concrete actions we ask for in our letter to him on the 28th of march. chair of the jewish leadership council, jonathan goldstein, also expressed his disappointment with the outcome of the meeting. we are disappointed that mr corbyn's proposals fell short of the minimum level of action which our letter suggested. in particular, they did not agree in the meeting with a proposals they should be a fixed timetable to do with anti—semitism cases, that you expedite the long—standing cases involving ken livingstone and jackie walker. no mp should share a platform with someone he expelled or expunged for anti—semitism, that they adopt the full international holocaust

what they found is that they asked if mr corbyn could run they asked if mr corbyn could run the uk well the popularity rating is higher than jeremy corbyn's —— and the donald cole. the 18 — 24 —year—olds. he appeals to them. fewer than one in five. 32% of the so—called corbynista generation disagree that he would make a good prime minister. it isa he would make a good prime minister. it is a part of a whole series.” he would make a good prime minister. it is a part of a whole series. i am not sure if this isjeremy it is a part of a whole series. i am not sure if this is jeremy corbyn going down or donald trump going up. donald trump, he is not quite as bad recently has been the past. things like the chance of peace with north korea would be an incredible price. jeremy corbyn has had a certain problem with international relations... that is a polite way of putting it. salisbury. it seems to be the security issue feeding into this. certainly open jeremy corbyn made a mistake over salisbury. it seems to be fairly clear, actually, almost 99% clear that the russians we re almost 99% clear th

that was largely seen to be anti—semitic, and luciana berger, the labour mp who wasjewish, saying mr corbynncing himself from his own remarks six years earlier. and it's simply not shifted since, despitejeremy corbyn coming out repeatedly, and very clearly saying that he wouldn't defend in any instance, any instance of anti—semitism, and there are those within the party who wonder how they do shift the dial on this. interestingly, jeremy corbyn, in the last week, hasn't actually come out and publicly done a round of interviews, for instance. which i guess would give him a chance to be — what did tony blair used to call it? the masochism strategy, being duffed up in a political interview to prove that you know that, you know, people are hurting about our political issue and you are willing to grasp it. i wonder if he might do that after the easter recess. the latest incarnation on the story, as you say, eddie izzard, becoming a member of the executive committee, the governing body of the labour party, replacing christine shawcroft after her resignation last night. he is trying, eddie izzard,

has it got worse under mr corbyn? evidence the problem is any worse than under previous labour leaders. labour's anti—semitism is much worse since jeremy corbyn became leader, at least 80 cases of anti—semitism is not dealt with, regularly, almost daily i hear regulations allegations of anti—semitism and within the jewish community, there is anguish but this is notjust about jewish community, there is anguish but this is not just about the jewish community, it's about the whole of society. if jeremy is serious about being against racism, he must be against anti—semitism as well and show he's going to do something about it. why? is this situation retrievable in terms of relations with the jewish community 01’ relations with the jewish community or is it may be the case that former labour supporters might think it is gone too far and will not for labour with him as leader? many jewish labour supporters have given up on the party's willingness to do anything about this evil. but it's never too late to repair relations. a

mr corbyn said he'd spent a long time talking to young jewish people about their experiences of racialhe "cancer in our society" of anti—semitism. but critics say it's further proof he's failing to address the issue properly. 0ur political correspondent, ben wright reports. do you regret going to the event last night? not in the slightest. in politics, every choice matters, decisions send a signal, and jeremy corbyn's choice to join a passover event last night organised by a left—wing jewish group has angered others in the broaderjewish community. but out campaigning in swindon today, the labour leader defended his attendance at the dinner. i spent the evening listening to them, talking to them about their experiences in modern britain. the issues of anti—semitism, which is a cancer and awful in our society and has to be eradicated where ever it raises its head. ifound it an interesting evening, hearing different points of view, because if you want the lead you also have to listen. the dinner was a public event organised by jewdas, a left—wing, largely young, radicaljewish group critic

apparently, people, all with female english names who were in fact russian albot is tweeting on behalf of mr corbyno the election —— russian bots. it is interesting that they choose women's names. are we more credible when the tweet or something? or more friendly. every single opportunity, it seems, as they took from the sunday times investigation, to deride mrs may, to big upjeremy corbyn. it did not sway, it did not mean he won, but it definitely changed the vote. i think this is an extraordinary example of the intrusion of social media and the russians into our political life. but you see what is fascinating is i don't know how they know change the vote since they don't understand how the bots change the brexit side, if it did not, they claim they do not know that. how did they come up with this information? what i would suggest is that the secretary of state or digital actually investigate the whole thing. it is notjust investigate the whole thing. it is not just about what happens at the snap, it is what happened at the eu referendum. we have to look at the landscape. i know that there were bo

what i want to see from mr corbyn is action. all quite in spelling everything is quiet, they come back in. iwant everything is quiet, they come back in. i want to see people expelled in public. if evidence is there... it must be evidence —based. if evidence is there that they have been indulging in anti—semitism by word or... spoken or written... they should be expelled on the day. not the suspension with 43 processes and 76 enquiries. everybody is marked down, 0k, let them back in. erect an interesting thing in the evening standard and says, and has been a huge expansion of labour membership of the grassroots. he says, may be the party was not for purpose when he came to dealing with complaints about anti—semitism because of the party structure is not there to deal with bigger membership. that is a possibility. that is probably factually accurate, but so what? this is about leadership and leaders who in organisations take difficult decisions and then they ensure it happens. you must... you have a conflation happening at the sam

mr corbyn says he wants a un investigation into what happened in syria. has vetoed similar investigations on six occasions. in labour's case, in relation to syria, it's quite clear that people hate the idea of children being gassed with chemical weapons. many people hate even more the idea of going to war and intervening in the middle east with military force. so rather than resolve that horrible dilemma, they indulge in the pretence that there is a diplomatic solution. however, according to the latest polling, the labour position doesn't seem that far from where the british people are on the issue of syria right now. when presented with the statement, there probably was an attack using chemical weapons carried out by syrian government forces or their allies, 61% agreed. only 5% thought the claims were fabricated. another 5% thought something else happened and 29% didn't know. but what to do about it? the public are pretty clear what they don't want. just 22% supported launching cruise missiles on syrian military targets. almost double, 43%, opposed this

the board of deputies of britishjews and other groups said it cast fresh doubts on mr corbyn's commitmentur leader had to say when tackled on the issue at a local election campaign visit to swindon. it wasn't a meeting last night. it was an event that was a celebration of passover. i celebrate it with a lot of young jewish people from my community and constituency. it was very interesting talking to a lot of young people about their experiences in modern britain and i learnt a lot. is that a good thing? do you believe the process of the last two weeks has changed the way the labour party and national leadership deals with anti—semitism? anti—semitism is a vile and evil thing in our society at any level, anywhere, any time and it has to be eradicated. canifinish? wherever it arises. if it arises in my party, then we have a process for dealing with it. we examine each case and if someone has committed any anti—semitic act, then they are suspended and ultimately could be expelled as a result of it. and we are very clear about that and very, very clear in the whole of our society, we cannot a

quickly, but it is yet another strand on this ongoing row about anti—semitism, and crucially for mr corbyn'sry and public division at the heart of the labour party. yes, a lot going on, as you say, thank you, chris mason. two people have been arrested in tenerife after a nine—year—old boy from northern ireland died in hospitalfollowing a hit and run on the island on thursday. the boy was leaving a shopping centre with his family when the collision happened. richard morgan reports. nine—year—old carter carson was on a family holiday in tenerife. he was leaving this supermarket in adeje on thursday when he was hit by a car. he died in hospital on friday. the car believed to have been involved was found abandoned a few miles from the scene. the police say two people have been arrested. flowers have been left close to where the crash happened. the foreign office said it is providing consular assistance to the family following the tragic death. the nine—year—old played football for 18th newtownabbey youth. he'd been a member since he was five, and the club said it was heartbroken. carter was a pr

a spat between those two and mr corbyn being called a useful idiot. borisjohnson a useful idiot.useful idiot. borisjohnson game and it a lot of fla k last borisjohnson game and it a lot of flak last week because he said there was no doubt that the substance used in salisbury in the attack had been produced in russia. then we heard from porton down experts saying that they could not prove that. we have got the foreign secretary saying an article where he is putting the blame back in russia's court and focusing blame on jeremy blame back in russia's court and focusing blame onjeremy corbyn saying thatjeremy corbyn has not been clear enough in his criticism of russia and needs to be more focused on that and talking about him being "russia's useful idiot". we have heard from the labour party and they say it is borisjohnson who has been the full because he is the one that came out with misleading information and so batting it back at him. our political correspondent of. german authorities say a man who drove a van into people outside a restaurant in the city of munster, was a german c

corbyn. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i join the prime minister in congratulating the duke and duchess of cambridge on the birth of their baby and i wish them well. i think we should also reflect that doreen and neville lawrence fought for years to get justice for the death of their son. the macpherson inquiry showed that institutional racism was a major factor in the inquiry. we need to drive out institutional racism in all its forms, wherever it raises its head within our society. mr. speaker, mr. speaker we , recognise that the home secretary has rightly apologised to the windrush generation and made a commitment to compensate people for the hardship they have endured. the government is committed to compensation in theory, but as yet nothing in practice. there is an understandable lack of trust by the windrush generation, so can the prime minister today be clear and confirm that those british citizens, who have worked, paid taxes here for decades and been wrongly denied pensions and benefits, will be fully compensated?

mr. corbyn: the prime minister has assured us that the attorney general had given clear legal advice approvinghe action. i hope the prime minister will now publish this advice in full today. the sumary note references the disputed humanitarian intervention doctrine, but even against this, the government fails its own tests. the overwhelming humanitarian catastrophe due to the civil war in syria is absolutely indisputable. but the foreign secretary said yesterday these strikes would have no bearing on the civil war. and the prime minister has reiterated that today by saying this is not what these military strikes were about. mr. speaker, does, for example, the humanitarian crisis in yemen entitle other countries to air gate themselves the right to bomb saudi air fields or their positions in yemen, especially given their use of band cluster bombs and white phosphorous? mr. speaker, three united nations agencies said in january that yemen was the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. so will the prime minister today commit to ending support to the jaud bombing campaign -- to the saudi bombing c

corbyn? >> thank you, mr. speaker. last month i raised the case of albert thompson, a man who has lived and worked for decades, paid taxes, and denied national health service treatment. the prime minister brushed it off. will she say what she will now do to ensure that mr. thompson gets the cancer treatment he urgently needs and is entitled to? >> prime minister? >> the right honorable gentleman did indeed raise the case of albert thompson. it was not brushed off. has been inice contact with mr. thompson's representative. i want to make one point very clear. no urgent treatment should be withheld regarding facility or willingness to pay. i also want to make clear that as it happens, mr. thompson is not part of the generation i have just spoken about. and finally, clinicians have been looking at the case and he will be receiving the treatment that he needs. >> jeremy corbyn? to me,premise to wrote stating while i sympathize with mr. thompson, we encourage him to make the appropriate application and provide evidence of h

interesting, because mr corbyn and mrs may have had a bruising week.ironment for immigrants. that has been very difficult for her. at the same time, jeremy corbyn has faced a very bruising time over anti—semitism and that meeting last night with jewish leaders. anti—semitism and that meeting last night withjewish leaders. both leaders come to pmq ‘s somewhat on the back foot and looking to assert themselves. let's see how they get on. iam sure on. i am sure the whole house will wish tojoin me in offering our warmest congratulations to the duke and duchess of cambridge on the birth of their son earlier this week. i know members across the house will want tojoin me in marking stephen lawrence's death 25 years ago. for each of those years, the lawrence family have fought heroically to ensure their son's life and death will never be forgotten. as i announced earlier this week, the government will work with the stephen lawrence charitable trust to establish a national annual commemoration of stephen's life and legacy. this morning i have meetings with minis

but mr corbyn said he'd learnt a lot at the event by talking to young people about their experiences,litical correspondent ben wright reports. do you regret going to the event last night? not in the slightest. in politics, every choice matters, decisions send a signal, and jeremy corbyn‘s choice to join a passover event last night organised by a left—wing jewish group has angered others in the broaderjewish community. but out campaigning in swindon today, the labour leader defended his attendance at the dinner. i spent the evening listening to them, talking to them about their experiences in modern britain. the issues of anti—semitism, which is a cancer and awful in our society and has to be eradicated wherever it raises its head. ifound it an interesting evening, hearing different points of view, because if you want to lead, you also have to listen. the dinner was a public event organised by jewdas, a left—wing, largely young, radicaljewish group critical of mainstream jewish organisations and the actions of israel. last week, when the labour leadership was engulfed in a row about an

it is almost certain to be what mr corbyn raises today. and had the poisoning of the rations and labour engulfed in an anti—semitism row, do not expect him to touch any of those with a barge pole but expecting to focus on windrush, partly because he actually raise the issue at pmq partly because he actually raise the issue at pmo ‘s last month when he raised the case of one windrush individual who had been deprived cancer treatment on the nhs because it did not have the necessary documentation so i think an absolute banker that mr corbyn will return to the windrush issue. what will be interesting is where he points the finger of blame because this morning we had diane abbott calling for the head of the home office, the home secretary amber rudd, but there are at good number of people who think the real person who should take the rap is the prime minister herself in pa rt rap is the prime minister herself in part because it was sure you introduced immigration controls as pa rt introduced immigration controls as part of creating a hostile en
