good afternoon, and welcome to the bbc news at one. labour made some gains in local elections across england but overall it's been a disappointing night for the party which failed to win some of its key targets. jeremy corbyn's hopes of major wins in london evaporated as the conservatives not only hung on to wandsworth and westminster, but also retook control of barnet, where the anti—semitism row was blamed. they also lost nuneaton and bedworth for only the second time. the conservatives benefited from a collapse in support for ukip, but they lost trafford in greater manchester, and plymouth was taken from them by labour. the liberal democrats had a good night taking control of richmond—upon—thames. this is the national picture after over three—quarters of the results have been declared. in terms of council control, there has not been much change with both of the biggest parties in england holding on to most councils they were defending. ) in terms of the number of councillors, labour and the lib dems have both made gains. the conservatives

news channel. let's return now to our main story. the former labourister tessa jowell has died at the age of 70. she'd been diagnosed with brain cancer in may 2017. dame tessa was a leading figure in the government of tony blair, serving as minister for culture and sport. she was also a driving force behind london's successful bid to host the olympics in 2012. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn has been speaking about her legacy. i think ithink in i think in government, pushing for sure start, which made such a difference to so many children posed by clients, the idea that all our children can achieve things together, and you bring the family in haswell, so it is that sense of community, she brought back to it. that is one of the greatest achievements. the other was working with a very wide range of people to help bring the olympics to london and see it all the way through, and i have never forgotten her earnestly at a meeting with the parliamentary labour party about how well we will do at tae kwon do. i am pretty sure that 99% of the people in the room

some human rights organisations argue that new labour laws haven't changed enough, or barely at all inura believes the world cup has to engage with authoritarian states to trigger change. if you're bringing the world cup, everybody would like to host the world cup. you've got all the cards in your hands. today, because of the world cup, the labour law has changed in qatar. countries in the gulf are coming to get the same experience. and, as i said, my ambitions will be to have those 1.2 million workers who are not directly related to the fifa world cup benefit the same conditions as the rest. over the past six months, we haven't heard anything negative about the workers' conditions in qatar. at least not from those who are today building the stadium, the roads and the hotels. which is, for me, a strong sign that, yes, football can help change culture and behaviour, even in the more conservative societies. last month, samoura was herself reported to the fifa ethics committee over an alleged conflict of interest. she was accused of not declaring a family link relating to the 2026 world c

good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. labour failed to make the breakthrough it was hoping for in the local elections in england. the party won two councils but failed to win any of the authorities it targeted in london. jeremy corbyn described the performance as "solid." a relieved theresa may, welcomed the results for the conservatives, but said the government wouldn't take anything for granted. they gained control of barnet, as well as peterborough, basildon and redditch, but lost control of trafford council. labour won plymouth and kirklees in west yorkshire but lost control of derby and nuneaton. the lib dems won richmond—upon—thames, kingston—upon—thames, three rivers in hertfordshire and south cambridgeshire, with the leader vince cable saying his party was "on the way back." on councillors, the tally a short time ago, looks like this, labour gained 59, conservatives lost 21, lib dems gained 68, the greens 5, but it was a near wipeout for ukip. now last night's results would mean in a general election, that the conservati

labour windfall was a bit in some places, backwards and others. the same for the conservatives. that, though, is much worse newsint in the electoral cycle after eight years of conservative run governments, labour would usually be expecting to have gone forward and perhaps quite significantly, and of course they did very well last year's general election and they would have been hoping to build on that performance and they did make gains. they took tower hamlets and that was the last resort to be declared. they won plymouth council as well. so there was progress but not much. the conservatives, by contrast, well, they didn't move much either. the two couple of extra councils. places like basildon and peterborough booth in the east of england. but for conservatives that's really a sigh of relief because he didn't go backwards. the lack of change is not very positive for labour. jeremy corbyn ‘s supporters happen putting a brave face on it and jeremy corbyn saint bees were solid results that provided a good platform for the general election but the people here, they would describe themselves as being on the modera

news seemed pretty clear. a disappointing night for labour in the local elections in england, as the party makes limited gainsmy corbyn‘s party took plymouth from the conservatives, but failed to win any of its target councils in london, and lost nuneaton and bedworth. the conservatives celebrated london as the party held onto their flagship boroughs, but lose trafford, their only council in greater manchester. theresa may said overall it was a good night. it's hard to detect trends in local elections, because not all seats are up for grabs, and gains and losses have to be weighed against the last time they were contested, and the state of the parties then. success or failure also relate of course to expectations, but did bbc news raise or at least amplify expectations for the labour party, and then judge their performance a failure for not living up to them? some viewers certainly thought so, with rose doyle writing... the tory party lost positions, despite ukip dramatically falling away, yet the bbc report this as a bad night for labour, and "mixed results.
