labour leader sir keir starmer says borisjohnson broke the law and should resign, over a series of partiesg street during coronavirus restrictions. i think the facts speak for themselves. i think the prime minister broke the law, i think he then lied about what had happened. the culture secretary nadine dorries has suggested the days of the bbc licence fee are numbered. and in sportsday at 6.30, how england lost yet again in the ashes series, and the rest of the day�*s sport. that�*s in half an hour here on bbc news. in the last few minutes, the fbi has named the man who took four people hostage at a synagogue in texas as a british citizen, malik faisal akram. the four were freed by police after being held hostage for ten hours. the hostage—taker died at the scene. this evening, the us president joe biden has called the siege "an act of terror". sophie long reports. more than ten hours after their ordeal began, this is the moment you can see the three final hostages running for their lives. the successful, but nonetheless terrifying end to the delicate, daylong operation. the man who claim

-- leader care starmer -- leader keir st armer, is that christian woodford, a tory mp, is heading over to labour. they are in the class of 2019. you have taken the seat off of a labor pop -- a labour mp, and then this has played out in the last couple of weeks. that is the concern many people have. as for keir starmer, i am guessing that line of questioning is very different from what you heard moments ago. tom: the chancellor of the exchequer is worried about southampton and man city this weekend. he doesn't have the prime minister's back, does he? jonathan: i am not sure. i think a lot of people think he's going to throw his hat into the ring if we have a leadership contest on the road. i think that is someone who a lot of people will think would be one of the favorites. are we done here? i think was got to talk about this equity market. futures up 0.3% on the s&p, up 64 on the nasdaq 100, 0.4%. yields unchanged on tens. a brief break of 1.90 percent. crude, $86 $.41, up by more than 1%. jim bianco, founder and president of bianchi research -- of bianco research, joins us now. what d

what does it take to be a leader, and has sir keir starmer got what it takes?charisma, a lawyer who's good with words but doesn't inspire. today, though, he was wholeheartedly embracing that serious image. so, i want to start the new year by making a pledge of straight leadership. today, i want to introduce my contract with the british people. this will be a solemn agreement about what this country needs, and how a good government should conduct itself. few would argue with the broad values he laid out. security, prosperity and respect. this was all about drawing a comparison with borisjohnson. i don't think politics is a branch of the entertainment industry. i think it's the serious business of getting things done. labour strategists think mrjohnson�*s style is wearing thin after recent mistakes, but can they convince voters they're a government in waiting? when it comes to your leadership, you spent a lot of time talking about patriotism and standing in front of a flag very often, but some people want to know what specific policies you have? firstly, i'm very
