you can find back down on the story of that interview with molly's father on the victoria derbyshire programmethe programme, the lead story is a confusing situation in british politics even by the standards of the last few months. borisjohnson was defeated today in an effort to get two thirds of mps to support him to call an election in december the 12th. and he has come back within minutes and said, 0k, come back within minutes and said, ok, we are going to do it tomorrow using a different bill, and guess what i'm proposing? an election in december the 12th. but according to this bill, and the way it works, we don't have to get into the parliamentary mechanics right now, but he simply requires 51% of the vote rather than the two thirds which he was unable to get earlier. to throw into the mix that the opposition liberal democrats and snp may or may not support the situation, and things are moving. we will turn to it again in a few minutes. good evening. time for our nightly look at some of the weather conditions we have been looking at around the world, and we will start with california and t

, and we heard it from emily thornberry a short time ago, when she was speaking on the victoria derbyshire programme feared exactly that, that the election risked turning into a quasi—referendum. so there is disquiet about that. but let's have a listen to whatjeremy corbyn is going to say. thank you, diane, for that introduction, and thank you for the saints for giving me a space this morning i asked for a trial, but they said no chance, and rather unkindly they said i was too old. it's all right, i can cope. can i say personally big thank you for diane for coming here today and chairing this rally, but also for the way in which she's coped with the way in which she's coped with the most unbelievable levels of abuse and harassment. applause and the dignity with which she has all of that. there is no place in our politics for any form of harassment, abuse, misogyny or racism in any form. it simply devalu es racism in any form. it simply devalues the debate and the argument. applause and i hope our public life can be conducted in a better way, where we do not indulge in that sort of behaviour. as far

victoria derbyshire. a leaked report seen by this programme says fewer people would have died in the grenfell tower disaster if the london fire brigade had not told residents to stay in their flats and wait to be rescued. i've seen the entire 1,000 pages of the official inquiry report. it is heavily critical of the london fire brigade and the response of emergency services that night. the union representing rank and file firefighters the inquiry is "back to front" and should be focussing on why the building was dangerous the truth is that that fire spread how we did because it was wrapped in flammable cladding, that is a key issue and yet it is not seriously being addressed. the firefighters turned up after that happens, after the building was turned, in reality, into a death trap. the prime minister will try today for a fourth time to secure an early general election in december. i hope that opposition party members would want to trust the public, let them have a say. they had seemed determined not to deliver on the referendum but i think it is time that at this stage, to make sure we can deliver on brexit
