that is the wigan mp lisa nandy and the batham mpjess phillips.ly thornberry and the shadow treasury minister clive lewis as the four candidates to so far declare that they will be standing in the labour leadership election. i think from lisa nandy we are likely to see an emphasis on the need for labour to rebuild in its labour heartlands, where they performed unexpectedly badly at the recently —— recent general election. she will say a summary general election. she will say a summary from one of those community she is well placed to make labour's case to voters. in her own words, she is somebody who thinks she is able to perform particularly well in the north of england. meanwhile, jess phillips, a long—standing critic ofjeremy corbyn, i think she will be appealing to those voters who want to see a clean break with the current labour leadership and fresh thinking and fresh ideas to ta ke fresh thinking and fresh ideas to take the party forward. john, for the moment, thank you. the climate change campaigner greta thunberg has changed her name to "

after much speculation, jess phillips has confirmed she will run.n a visit to grimsby, the mp for birmingham yardley said the party needed a leader who could "take on" borisjohson — and who was willing to "try something different". and the wigan mp lisa nandy has alsojoined the race, and said thejob should go to someone from what she called "the neglected areas" of labour's heartlands, who could win back the trust of the party's traditional voters. our political correspondent nick eardley has more. the wigan mp was another one of those people who had said over the christmas period that she was considering whether or not to stand, and tonight she's confirmed, in a letter to her local paper, the wigan post, that she is indeed throwing her hat in the ring to be the next labour leader. her argument is that labour needs to focus on winning back its heartlands, areas that had voted labour for decades and stopped doing so back in december. let me just read you one paragraph on what she says. she says: "i'm standing because i know too many people in places

jess phillips has dropped out of the labour leadership contest, leaving four candidates in the race tohad to unite the whole labour movement, and she said that person is not her. emily thornberry, sir keir starmer, rebecca long bailey, and lisa nandy are still vying to be labour leader come 4 april. this afternoon, the gmb union came out in support of lisa nandy. the nhs in england faces more than £4 billion pounds in legal fees to settle outstanding claims of clinical negligence that's according to figures obtained by bbc news. the total estimated cost of all unsettled claims now stands at £83 billion — that's more than doubled in four years. the department of health has pledged to tackle what it calls "the unsustainable rise in the cost of clinical negligence". angus crawford has more. brother, son, grandson. this is hayden. wow. a video filmed when he was just hours old. but later, he was rushed to hospital. and after a failure to treat a virus, which attacked his heart, he died there. he lived forjust six days. every pa rent‘s worst every parent's worst nightmare. we had to sit the

and just phillips is just phillips. position when she speaks. and just phillips isjust phillips.avourite because she's the most corbyn standing. she is the continuity candidate. comes out the party don't really want continuity with corbyn. they want a chance of when he the next election. you will correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm sure you have set if rebecca long—bailey was picked, it would see the demise of the party. is that right? why would you have said that? i think if rebecca long—bailey is the party leader, that is the end for the labour party. it's because the party went left with ed miliband and lost the election, went further left with jeremy corbyn and lost an election went even further left with the 2019 manifesto and lost disastrously, our worst results in 2000, since 1935. if you go for rebecca long—bailey, it is more left, more left him a more left, five defeats in a row a consequent of that. it would be harsh to beat —— a harsh defeat. you get rebecca long bailey come in no chance of change. i would say labour has rejected them. you mentioned there that they all sh

the planters, man named by bart, who became the sheriff eventually of phillips county. what happens is the sheriff and other white planters went on where the patriots were organizing and operating as independent farmers and start killing them. singfield himself is killed actually and body thrown to a swamp. for decades after local legends about his ghost haunting the swamp. as far as i know, that's the first episode of this kind of murderous white oppression of black wayback activism in phillips county, perhaps 5 1/2 decades before the elaine massacre of '18. also this in no way short circuits or ends african-american labor or organizing activism. they keep working on african-american freedoms broken up in 1870. and later on about two decades later the knights of labor come in and they organize african-american farm workers, african-american sawmill workers in phillips county. the ball is always rolling in decades for elaine. the union, lee, of course, are all gone. you began reconstruction. and then the greenback party came in. nationally, it didn't amount to much in t

he said that's up to congress, david. >> kyra phillips tonight reporting in. thank you, kyra. >>> next, that major storm on the move tonight. ten states on alert from texas up through michigan, then straight into the northeast. a dangerous commute near wichita, kansas, a semijackknifed in the snow. snowplows at the airport in omaha tonight. sub-freezing wind chills in south florida. and that very rare image, iguanas falling from the trees. they actually put out an alert overnight. authorities always quick to point out, the iguanas are okay, they're just stunned. and in tampa, mana tees huddling in the warm water near a power plant. let's get to rob marciano, tracking it for us tonight. >> reporter: you see how far reaching that cold air mass is, it's huge. and we have a wide-reaching system that's running into it. flakes flying and advisories are up from arkansas all the way up through wisconsin, with the rain down across parts of louisiana. that cold air is going to mad rat some, so, the snow changes to rain in places like chicago, along the i-80 corridor. no

phillips, everyone knows what you get with her.has lagged behind is rebecca long—bailey who was thought to be the favourite ina way who was thought to be the favourite in a way because she is the most corbynite and continuity candidate but i think it comes out the party don't really want continuity carbon, they want a chance of winning the next election. you will correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm sure you said that if rebecca long—bailey was picked, it would see the demise of the party, is that right?” picked, it would see the demise of the party, is that right? i think if rebecca long—bailey is a leader it is game over and the maze will break up is game over and the maze will break up do something else with our lives. because the party went less with ed miliband and lost an election, went for the left was jeremy corbyn miliband and lost an election, went for the left wasjeremy corbyn and lost a n for the left wasjeremy corbyn and lost an election, went even further left with a 2019 manifesto and lost disaster catchment disastrously
