that of ukip. 1 more graphic, this is the all—importa nt that of ukip. 1 more graphic, this is the all—importantugh labour won the seat, the swing from labour to brexit who came 2nd is 8.6%, it is a pretty big swing so those are the figures for the peterborough by—election. what are your thoughts for labour? it is a really important win for us. it was done through the ha rd win for us. it was done through the hard work of campaigners and activists on the ground and as lisa said in her acceptance speech, trying to get through the brexit malaise and try to talk about the issues that were concerning people. it was done by hard work and i am delighted... your share of the vote has plummeted, you have problems. these are extraordinary political times. when you think about the a elections, the local elections, the eu elections, the brexit party coming top of the issue elections, for us to be able to go forward and when this seat is a real achievement for us and so i am happy. so near and yet so far? 1st of all, congratulations. you won fair and square. my party tell me that this was not even close to

maximising the inheritance they got from ukip.ing ukip in these elections. really squeezing the tories. terrible result for them as a governing party. in fifth right now. no doubt about the big losers on the night, but the emphasis on the brexit party as the clear winners annoyed some of their opponents. susan thought there was another fairer way of looking at the outcome. and recorded this video of her thoughts when watching on monday morning. four parties were leading with a pro—eu anti—brexit message. the lib dems, the greens, plaid cymru, change uk, these parties secured at this point in time 38% of the vote and their vote share went up. it is a shame they didn't have a formal remain alliance as they discussed and maybe you could have reported it better but it's still obvious. the brexiteers, nigel‘s brexit party and his old ukip party got 36.8% of the vote. they got a bit less of the total vote. i know that brexit got meps, but you could've highlighted the strong remain vote more clearly. you didn't cover the lib dem and gree

surely this is telling you that this is the end of ukip. there is now a new ukip on the block. brexit pa rty. again. good luck to the brexit party i hope we get a strong brexiteer elected here. but we are still around. we have got a different message to the brexit pa rty. we different message to the brexit party we don't really know what their policies are. it is a problem that too many people know what your policies are. some accuse you of islamophobia, some say you play up to the far right in this country. do you think your association with tommy robinson, for example, was a mistake, a vote loser was blue well, people keep bringing this up all the time. and it is not really an association of a lot of people forget... the current leader has him as an advisor. he had him as an advisor on a particular issue. if you look at certain other parties and where their leaders have been over the past 30 or 40 years, i would rather sit down with tommy robinson than the leaders of terrorist organisations. ok, obviously you are referring to the labour leader. equally, do you think that imag

collapsed, nigel farage as far as i recall you still lead ukip.ithin the next age of brexit. i know people don't wa nt age of brexit. i know people don't want that to happen, but you cannot ta ke want that to happen, but you cannot take away his democratic mandate he got from the european election results. you cannot rule him out completely. let's continue with donald trump. putting nigel to the side slightly. laughter you stay right there. sadiq khan continuing that feud. yes. said he and donald trump have never got off to a very good start because donald trump was so good start because donald trump was so incredibly rude about london having a muscle mare. and then backtracking and saying it would be welcome in america and the deeply offensive erases. an article that said econ has written in the observer. —— deeply offensive and racist. —— that sadiq khan has written. a lot of people and mps and political leaders and members of the general public and people who will be demonstrating and protesting feel exactly the same but i think it is an invita

he said he was at one with ukip at some point.o got convicted for perverting the course of justice and who got convicted for perverting the course ofjustice and then compared herself tojesus christ course ofjustice and then compared herself to jesus christ and i spoke to labour officials and they thought it had gone at that time. then the brexit party had all the big momentum and in the european elections they romped home. the story on the ground in peterborough is the ground war work. labours advantage with the mass membership and momentum did carpools, they motorised people and that is what should scare the other parties because what they did in that campaign was focused on issues away from brexit. do you remember for the referendum when we weren't divided by our relationship with the european union questioned those boring issues like child poverty in housing and public services. everything has been pushed aside. housing and public services. everything has been pushed asidem shows we need to pivot back as a country to those issu

the brexiteers, nigel‘s brexit party and his old ukip party got 36.8% of the vote.hey got a bit less of the total vote. i know that brexit got meps, but you could've highlighted the strong remain vote more clearly. you didn't cover the lib dem and green party successes nearly enough this morning. the aggregate vote won by the remaining supporting parties may not have been given enough priority for some viewers, but it was covered on bbc news, including in this report from tom barton. it wasn'tjust a good night for the brexit party. those standing on a clear remain platform also made a great leap forward. the greens beat the conservatives into fourth place. a champagne moment for the liberal democrats. coming in second with 20% of the vote. but the adding together of remain parties‘ vote share a majority over leave parties as shown in this graphic which appeared on the bbc news website prompted objections from the other side. william spotted the graph did not count the conservatives in the leave total. brexit party supporters had other objections. one about the makeu

elections, lots of people elected alongside him had made very unsavoury statements about lots of things —— ukip cause problems for nigel farage. two comments, one is that this is what happens when the brexit party doesn't have a manifesto, its only issueis doesn't have a manifesto, its only issue is brexit and therefore candidates are free to just make up their own policies, and now it is branded homophobic party because it has clearly a very homophobic mep. the second thing isjustine greening's response, the conservative mp saying we don't need a cure for love. obviously she is in a cure for love. obviously she is in a same—sex relationship, and that is very positive. 30 seconds, coffee. you can drink 25 cups of coffee a day and it is not bad for you, not bad for your heart, as much coffee as you want. this is research from queen mary university, doesn't cause heart attacks or strokes, probably written by scientists who were drinking quite a lot of coffee. i imagine good news forjournalists, good news for anyone who would rather get the caffeine straight into their veins. rachel only had 11 cu

whether they listen now the fortunes of the brags that party in exact opposite to the decimation of ukip and they went see the full 2014 elections having won 28 piece but since then they'd suffer the number of defections not a number of votes counted it's shifting over to the briggs and polity and in fact we can have a breakdown of some of the more prominent leadership of that bread party. regs that has been dominating the political sphere in the u.k. to the point that perhaps. fed up with it all and just want the politicians to get on with it. the founder of the movement to eventually evolve independence party says the rise of the brags that party is due to terry's amazing phone. to resume just resigned as prime minister she was one of the worst prime ministers in british history the party she led was obviously demoralised resignation since the conservative party in government had failed to take the european union on the day we were supposed to come on the 29th of march the voters a big stream the angry and the coffee would be high in the polls is a lose all which is what is the signifi

groups that backed brexit in the referendum, leave.eu, has been encouraging people including former ukipe party so they can vote for the next leader and influence its direction. some current and former tory mps have claimed it's a right—wing takeover. if they vote to leave, they vote to leave... the chairman of bracknell conservatives says there is no evidence of that. we had an increase in membership. are they right—wingers? no, a lot of members we see certainly coming into our association has been people who are previously members who have come back again or they are lifelong conservative voters who say i want to have a say and get involved. bex rejoined the local organisation last year. i decided to come back in because i have a voice and want it to be heard. some critics say more broadly the party doesn't represent the population. what about the people who say the conservative party is too old and too white? we've got a very strong group of members who are quite prepared to walk the streets and they're from all ethnic backgrounds. the conservative party average age may be in its late

in total, 15 candidates are standing, including representatives for the green party and ukip.ond that, several crucial votes in parliament have been on a knife edge lately, so whoever winds you could make a difference to decisions that affect the whole country. within peterborough‘s large polish community, it is a chance to make a change. anna sells specialist clothes and shoes for children, relying on imports from her native poland. she says concerns about brexit has damaged her business. lots of the polish community travel back. leave peterborough? yeah. that is what affects my business. i am going to look for the party that wa nts to going to look for the party that wants to remain. for some, it is much wider than brexit. carol runs the community fridge, providing fresh food and company to those who need it. i think bmp has to care about homelessness. there isn't enough housing stock. the drug and alcohol related issues. it makes me enormously sad that in this day and age we have accused down the highway for food. age we have accused down the highway forfood. —— age we have

groups that backed brexit in the referendum, leave.eu, has been encouraging people, including former ukipy can vote for the next leader and influence its direction. some current and former tory mps have claimed it's a right—wing takeover. the chairman of bracknell conservatives says there is no evidence of that. we have had an increase in membership. are they right—wingers? no, a lot of new members we see, certainly coming into the bracknell constituency association as well, have been people who were previously members and have come back again, or they are lifelong conservative voters who are saying, i want to have a say, i want to get involved. becks rejoined the local association last year. i decided to come back in because i've got a voice and i want it to be heard. some critics say more broadly the party doesn't represent the population. what about the people that say the conservative party is too old and too white? we've got a very strong group of members who are quite prepared to walk the streets and they are from all ethnic backgrounds. i think all parties have the struggle of age

if you regard brexit as a continuity of ukip rather than a new party, and you look at what ukip did atng is losing. had they won by 600 votes rather than losing by 600 votes, they would have had a voice at westminster, they would have had momentum. nigel farage would be saying something different about having the actual importance about having the actual importance about having an mp at westminster. we cannot say that and i think the momentum is lost and the outlook for the brexit party is significantly worse because it lost narrowly than had it been if it had won narrowly. because of the length of the press conference, that is all we have got time for now, but we will have more on another day. now we are going to get the sport with john on another day. now we are going to get the sport withjohn watson. all the focus falling on france for the world cup, the women's welcomes you to get under way there later. johanna konta missed the chance to reach the french open final. she lost to marketa vondrousova in straight sets she was hoping to become the first british woman to reach a grand sl

let me tell you, most of the new conservative party voters that the party won over from ukip in 2017,out us? do you think is this race goes on over the next week or so race goes on over the next week or so the successful candidate has to set up more thanjust more than just breaks it, more thanjust breaks it, set more than just breaks it, set up with their vision is for the next five or six years? i think the conservative party needs to define what it is and, with a new vision and showed the country that it understands that people are looking for a new radically ambitious, compelling to messick a policy agenda because yes we are in the brexit quagmire but we are about to come out on the other side and we will be left with these questions. what will we do about racial inequality? what we do about educational inequality? —— regional inequality for someone we do about wells in northern england being left behind compared to london in the southeast was of why are we investing so much and high—speed rail in the south when it takes someone rail in the south when it takes someone to travel bet

groups that back brexit and the referendum, leave.eu has been encouraging people including former ukips a right wing takeover. if they vote to leave, they vote to leave... the chairman of bracknell conservatives says there is no evidence of that. we had an increase in membership, are they right wingers? now, a lot of members we see certainly coming into our association has been people who are previously members who have come back again or they are lifelong conservative voters who say i want to have a say and get involved. she rejoined the organisation last year. i decided to come back in because i have a voice and wanted to be heard. some critics say more broadly the party does not represent the population. what about the people who say the conservative party is too old and too white? we have a very strong group of members who are quite prepared to walk the streets in theirfrom all ethnic backgrounds. i think all parties have the struggle of an aged membership. the conservative party age may be in late 505 but labour for example, is mid 505. the party chairman insists there is a range

because, as we know, nigel farage had endless frustrations with ukip, once describing them as people! you are all in denial, and that's what you can't face. this is a huge success for you. this isjust the can't face. this is a huge success for you. this is just the mps, can't face. this is a huge success for you. this isjust the mps, and not any large number of them. if you really wa nted not any large number of them. if you really wanted to democratic process, andi really wanted to democratic process, and i used to say this in the conservative party, you would actually reverse the order, and you'd have the party and the country decide, look at round two and three, and then the mps deciding, with their knowledge. don't give them any ideas! we'll have to go through it ain! ideas! we'll have to go through it again! the point is that they have made it very difficult for whoever becomes your next leader to call a general election without brexit being resolved. they will take you to the cleaners if you go to the country without brexit being resolved. you are right, andrew. this is part of

prime minister cameron was made -- motivated by a number of considerations there was a growth in the ukip voter he faced pressure within his own party and he made the judgment that this was the right way to put the issue to bed. and there were a number of people who agreed. indeed i remember myself at the time thinking, well, there is an argument for it because the matter isn't readily capable of resolution by normal methods. that is to say, parliamentary debate and elections. the reason why it couldn't be treated in the way was all of the major parties, conservative labour, liberal democrats, were in favor of continued british membership. so a general election couldn't be the vehicle for sorting out the issue of brexit. i could see an argument for a referendum. i'm not sure, you can ask david cameron, i think is very preoccupied with the challenges that his own party faced at the time and he thought this would be a way of overcoming some of those difficulties. i'll leave you to judge whether, in fact, the matter has been satisfactorily resolved in the way he envisioned and dearly hoped.

in the margins of the council i also met prime minister contrary and discussed the ukip isa ministertargeted sanctions to respond to hybrid threats. this sends a clear message that the uk and its eu partners are willing and able to impose a cost for irresponsible behaviour in cyberspace. we must also make more progress in helping to ensure the internet is a safe place for all our citizens. that is why we are legislating in the uk to create a legal duty of care and internet companies to keep users safe from harm. this will be backed up safe from harm. this will be backed up by safe from harm. this will be backed up by an independent regulator with the power to enforce its decisions. we are the first country to put forward such a comprehensive approach but it isn‘t enough to act alone. so building on the christchurch call to action summit, the uk will continue to help drive the uk will continue to help drive the broadest possible global action against online harms, including at the t20 in japan against online harms, including at the t20 injapan later this week. in the t20 injapan later

unlike ukip in 2015, the brexit party would have some representation inside the house of commons.te general election, it could be a rather messy result indeed which it could be difficult for either label the conservatives to govern the country. john, many thanks. it is now 6:23. this week marks the 75th anniversary of the d—day landings, when allied forces took part in the biggest seaborne invasion in history, in nazi—occupied france. french forces and the resistance played a huge role on the sixth ofjune 1944, and in the following two months of battle. jean mackenzie went to speak to three people who were there. what did you think when you first saw the plan? leonjoined what did you think when you first saw the plan? leon joined the what did you think when you first saw the plan? leonjoined the french navy when he was 17. when the nazis invaded he went to the uk and became pa rt invaded he went to the uk and became part ofan invaded he went to the uk and became part of an elite unit of commandos in preparation for d—day. what did you think your chances of survival were? on guard

the people that voted to leave were not labour voters, they would have been conservative voters and ukipell. the chair of your party said he felt there were left—wing intellectuals sneering at people who voted to leave. do you agree? he represents a seat like me in ourseat, a agree? he represents a seat like me in our seat, a very large majority of the labour voters voted to leave. in fact the stronger the labour area in my constituency, the higher the lead vote. labour voters in the north who voted leave and if the labour party turns its back on those voters, as tom watson suggests, tom watson won't be deputy prime minister, jeremy corbyn won't be prime minister. if it is such a good idea, could i suggest to tom watson he tries it out in west bromwich. he could call a full referendum in his owi'i could call a full referendum in his own constituency and test the water because his voters voted leave so he could see if he can persuade them. let's have a west bromwich referendum and perhaps a full postal vote would assist with the organisation, i'm sure he could raise the money. let him tes
