are they more scared of being got rid of by pro—corbyn activists or anti—corbyn voters? that stoke is still a labour seat will make them think and what about their colleagues with smaller majorities? well, that's politics for you. well, we'rejoined byjohn rentoul, who is chief political commentator at the independent, ava vidal, who is a comedian and writer and fraser nelson, who is the editor of the spectator. first of all, how healthy a state do you think politics is in at the moment? pretty healthy. imean... an effective opposition? well, no, but that is not how you judge a healthy democracy. you can see parties responding to changes in the circumstances. the conservatives have reoriented after brexit. theresa may is more popular the further north in the country you go. you are seeing some signs of life in the dead lib dem bird, twitching away. and the labour party is is it's own personal agony right now. and ukip, you see them trying to supplant labour as the party of the working class, but kind of failing in stoke. but it is interesting, this idea that the 48% of th

left as jeremy corbyn is but they wa nted left as jeremy corbyn is but they wanted to be still power players. in an odd way, the intervention by david miliband is usefulfor them because they will say we are not the sky, we are worried about the sky, maybe have something else. it is useful in terms of their internal politics and the one thing to watch— i don't thinkjeremy corbyn is at risk, but if i am wrong it is because interventions like this give the trade union leaders the space they want to gently ease him out without going back into the blairism of the past. several news organisations, including the bbc, have been barred from entering a press briefing at the white house. president trump's spokesman said the administration would "push back" against what it sees as false reporting. 0ur washington correspondent laura bicker reports. president trump has stepped up his battle with the media. a few days ago, i called the fake news the enemy of the people, and they are. they are the enemy of the people. because they have no sources, theyjust make ‘em up when there are none. he is

that was the jeremy corbyn vote. until there is a labour politician who can say to the members, iam politician who can say to the members, i am someone theresa may is scared of. i think they will continue to order that currie and vote forjeremy corbyn. is there anyone coming through the ranks?” think there are some interesting younger politicians. john ashworth. on the backbenches, heidi alexander. alison mcgovern. bridget dobson. but the difficulty is you also have an old guard who are not in parliament who are making things difficult, but there is also an old guard of people who fail to beatjeremy corbyn in 2015, failed to win the last election. they are kind of bed blocking in an odd way for a new generation, which i think is needed if labour is going to get outs of this. just one final thought, where do the unions figure in all of this? the reason the trade union leaders back tojeremy the reason the trade union leaders back to jeremy corbyn was twofold. one, they members were with him. i am not sure of that has

they can only get out of a&e when thejeremy corbyn is removed and he

mr corbyn, but they lost anotherseat, bad for mr corbyn, but not losing two means that mr corbyn still stays leader of the labour party. seems like good news to me. well, you showed earlier the graph, didn't you, of labour's fortunes, which are diving. a lot of that is to do with their leader. on the taxi here tonight, i always have a chat with the drivers. he said, oh, his mother or mother—in—law had been the labour mayor of tower hamlets, so even they are saying you can't vote labour wasjeremy even they are saying you can't vote labour was jeremy corbyn. it's even they are saying you can't vote labour wasjeremy corbyn. it's bad news for labour. i thought it was only germans that chatted to taxi drivers. ichat and a disastrous night for ukip. lets come onto that. just as you think it couldn't get worse, ina just as you think it couldn't get worse, in a wayjust got worse. vote collapsed will stop in copeland you see clearly what happened, some people voted for ukip in the general election, switched the vote to vote conservative, in order to out seat labour because labour was absolu

so pretty bullish from jeremy corbyn, confident that in a few yea rs' corbyn, confident that in a few years' time, at the next general election, he will still be the labour leader, and i think that very few in the party would disagree with him. tom, thank you very much. some news coming in in the last short while. the actor bill paxton has died following complications from surgery. he starred in a number of hollywood films including titanic, aliens and apollo 13. the 61—year—old actor had two children and was married for 30 years. his family said in a statement, "bill's passion for the arts was felt by all who knew him, and his warmth and tireless energy were undeniable." the new independent review of terror laws has warned that britain faces the new independent reviewer of terror laws has warned that britain faces a continuing and high threat of terror attacks. max hill told the sunday telegraph that plots by islamist extremists to attack uk cities were an enormous risk. earlier, our diplomatic correspondent caroline hawley explained the significance of the comments. he is essent

among those people with concerns about jeremy corbyn, that. among those people with concerns aboutjeremy corbyn, there is not much appetite for a leadership election partly because they do not think they will win it but because they know that if they do cause problems for mr corbyn, they might find themselves being pinned with the blame. his opponents note they have very little chance of winning any leadership election. their concern is, with mr corbyn as leader, they do not stand huge amount of chance of winning a general election either. he will be speaking in scotland later. do we know what he will say? he will refer to the historic defeat in the copeland by—election. it has been held for many years by the party. normally, in a by—election between two general elections, they would have expected to win. that loss underlines the scale of how hard labour's task is to persuade people of their message. that result is not what they wanted. now is not the time for labour to retreat, to run away, or to give up. also he will talk about the union

just a simple question, mr corbyn, about copeland. clearly, he did not want to answer those questions about copeland and rushed back to his car to try to get away from reporters as quickly as possible. when you talk to those around mr corbyn, their defence for what happened in copeland is that they say people are still unhappy with labour because of the disunity, the divisive leadership contest. they also blame tony blair's recent intervention and so—called local factors. significantly, already, some senior union figures like dave prentice of unison, have said that mr corbyn has to take responsibility for these by—elections. and if you'd like more information on the by—election results, there's more reaction and analysis on the bbc news website — at bbc.co.cuk/news. the former leicester and england footballer gary lineker has described the club's sacking of claudio ranieri, nine months after he led them to the premier league title, as "inexplicable, unforgivable and gut—wrenchingly sad." the italian was dismissed last night

mr corbyn, mr corbyn, what about copeland, mr corbyn? what is your verdict on that? what i learned about the media is you are incredibly rude to each other. just a simple question about copeland. let's see if you can followjeremy corbyn and make any progress. he does not want to answer any questions about copeland because that was a shattering outcome for labour and that was a shattering outcome for labourandi that was a shattering outcome for labourand i think that was a shattering outcome for labour and i think he is going to get in his car and leave straightaway without answering any questions from reporters. it is a long way to come not to answer any questions, but i think that is what is going to happen. 0nly really speaking about stoke and really a very short visit indeed. i suppose it is about three or four minutes here. i presume he will be getting the train back to london. clearly no desire to talk to reporters. so, there goesjeremy corbyn. they are just manoeuvring his car out now. i tried to get a question to him. he talked a little bit to local activists,

what about copeland, mr corbyn? the tories were jubilant after seizing the seat which had been in labour's hands since it was created. labour's deputy leader told his party's scottish conference he was hugely disappointed at the result. 0urjob at the next general election is to gain over 100 seats, keeping what we have is supposed to be the easy bit. this is not the time for a leadership election. that issue was settled last year. but we have to do better. we can not sustain this level of distance from our electorate, from our natural supporters, so things do have to change. even mr corbyn‘s most outspoken critics at westminster are not contemplating a leadership challenge, they fear he would be re—elected and returned in a stronger position. but many of his mps are deeply concerned that under his leadership there's little prospect of the party regaining support amongst the wider electorate. david miliband, the former foreign secretary, who now runs a charity based in new york, said he feared labour is losing su

actually, at that leadership election last year, jeremy corbyn extended his majority, so jeremy corbyn extended his majority, soi jeremy corbyn extended his majority, so i think there is a sense within even those who have concerns about his leadership, that it is just not worth pursuing that line and trying to unseat him because my frankly, they know that if they did, they would lose. their concern is that if they don't do something, if they can't persuade jeremy they don't do something, if they can't persuadejeremy corbyn to change his style, that potentially the party could lose the next general election. in terms of reconnecting with the working people, which is what we have heard again today, what is labour going to do now to try to do that with this loss in copeland? well, i think the message from the party's leadership, and we have also heard from the shadow chancellor today, is that labour needs to reunite around the leadership. they see a significant factor, in certainly the loss in copeland, but also labour's poll ratings, for example. there is a significant factor in that in

they have offered support tojeremy corbyn throughout. 0ne they have offered support tojeremy corbyn throughout. one thing we probably do want to watch in the coming days, there is obviously an election going on for the position of leading tonight. len mccluskey has been running that union and is 110w has been running that union and is now being challenged. now, the contention there is that len mccluskey, one of the big backers of jeremy corbyn, is too close to westminster politics. the challenger says we want to move away from that. if that does change, is len mccluskey was to lose his position, that could change the relationship between labour, jeremy corbyn and the unions but for now, i think, at the unions but for now, i think, at the moment, broadly speaking we are seeing unions mostly backing still jeremy corbyn, albeit with friendly criticism that he needs to do better because copeland was a disaster. briefly, we will be hearing from the scottish labour party on day two of her spring conference. indeed, up in perth. we have actually heard from tom watson, labour's deputy leader for the n

no hope for labour underjeremy corbyn? i don't think so. and i mean, i have to back him, because i am a labour man myself. i'm a member of the labour party. but you're telling me it's hopeless? i think it is. he's not strong enough. stoke had been a safe seat for labour, butjeremy corbyn turned up keen to celebrate holding out against ukip. it's a message about the economy, it's a message aboutjobs, it's a message about this country. but, above all, it was a message that hope triumphs over fear. what about copeland, mr corbyn? he'd already been dogged by that defeat all day. our party mentorship is in good heart, it's very large, very strong and we'll be out again tomorrow, and every other day, campaigning to get the message across of socialjustice in britain. yet beating ukip in stoke was a big relief to labour... are you going to resign, paul? ..and a painful blow to ukip and its defeated candidate and leader. this seat was what? number 72 on our hit list. there's a a lot more that will happen, a lot more to come from us. we're not going

mr corbyn says places like copeland have been left behind by globalisation. he admits labour hasn't done enough to rebuild trust with people, who he says have been sold out for decades and don't feel labour represents them. in his article in the sunday mirror, he writes: but his words are unlikely to reassure the critics in his party, who fear they are heading for defeat at the general election under his leadership. jeremy corbyn‘s assertion that he is determined to stay on as labour leader despite defeat in the copeland by—election. earlier andrew marr spoke to the shadow attorney general, baroness shami chakra barti. he asked her to explain jeremy corbyn‘s claim that a vote for the conservatives in copeland was a rejection of the establishment. in copeland, labour has looked like the establishment for a very long time because they have been represented by labour for a long time. there are peculiarities about that seat, like what was said about our position on the nuclear industry. i don't want to make all about the specifics of copland. we clearly hav

the headlines: jeremy corbyn says he takes his share of responsibility

should mr corbyn go? we reported a new poll from the sunday mirror saying a fair —— with a two thirds of nonlabour voters would be happy to vote for the party if jeremy voters would be happy to vote for the party ifjeremy corbyn stood down. we will win the next election on an economic strategy creating jobs for working—class people, reversing all the things we neglected to do while we were in power before. and also having a leader who is honest and you can trust him, a lot of people might disagree with some of his policies, particularly on nuclear power, they recognise he is not someone who came in to politics to get rich, he served his local community, he says what he believes and he comes forward as honest. why didn't labour win the copeland by—election? forward as honest. why didn't labour win the copeland by—election7m forward as honest. why didn't labour win the copeland by-election? it is not justjeremy. 20 win the copeland by-election? it is not just jeremy. 20 years win the copeland by-e

pretty bullish from jeremy corbyn. confident that in a few years' time at the next general election he will still be the labour leader and i think very few in the party today would disagree with him. tom barton. max hill told the sunday telegraph that plots by extremists to attack cities was an enormous risk. the home secretary said she agrees with that assessment. here is our security correspondent frank gardner. the risk continues thatjihadists will come back to europe brutalised and bent on revenge. the new terror watchdog has warned of current plots. the sad fact is the threat in this country, represented by what we now know as daesh or so—called islamic state is high, is continuing and is not going to abate. max hill says the terror threat today is at least as great as it was to london during the ira bombing campaign in the 1970s. yet the situation is not the 1970s. yet the situation is not the same. the uk terror threat has prompted a major rethink on how britain's cities are protected. the police have been up

even whenjeremy corbyn was saying that voters want to hear from corbyn was saying that voters want to hearfrom him. four example new nuclear capacity, sellafield is the biggest employer, people don't trust to deliver. he ran a very strong campaign but they weren't sure if he could stop the downgrading of hospital services. secondly, could stop the downgrading of hospitalservices. secondly, is only the ship came up in the doorsteps, don't take my word for it, listen to the labour mps, who was saying that the labour mps, who was saying that theissue the labour mps, who was saying that the issue of his leadership came up on prompted. also another problem for it, jeremy corbyn is trying to occu py for it, jeremy corbyn is trying to occupy space as an insurgent, yet voters here were saying that labour has been in charge for 80 years and he is seen as part of the establishment and not the solution and all of these together add up to cirrus problems for the labour party because if there is a national swing which is similar, rather than gain seats, they can lose up to 50 seats. many labour mp

jeremy corbyn insists his leadership is not to blame. iraqi forces have now entered parts of western mosul in what is expected to be a dangerous battle to remove so called islamic state from the city. the white house has excluded the bbc, the new york times and others from a media briefing. the block came just hours after president trump used a major speech to attack sections of the press. as you saw throughout the entire campaign, and even now, the fake news doesn't tell the truth. also coming up — the national trust receives an unexpected gift — the island that inspired its creation. grasmere island in cumbria had been held in private hands for 124 years but it has now been gifted to the organisation in a will. and later on bbc news, dateline london. foreign correspondents in london will cast a critical eye over the weeks big news stories. that's coming up at 11:30. good morning and welcome to bbc news. the former labour foreign secretary david miliband, has said that the party is further from power than it has been at any time in

i thinkjeremy corbyn is our leader. he has the absolute support of the labour party, we've got to get on with it. of the labour party, jeremy corbyn has said he is proud to continue as labour. he's not given any indication he'll be changing his approach. in be changing his approach. order to rebuild support party. carole walker, bbc news. party. media groups have reacted angrily after several, including the bbc, were barred from a press briefing at the white house. the new york times said the move was an insult to democratic ideals. the bbc has asked the white house for clarification. president trump's spokesman, sean spicer, was challenged about the decision. sean spicer, was challenged reporter: are cnn and the new york times not in here because you're unhappy with their reporting? times not in here because you're why are they not in here? times not in here because you're because we had a pool and then we expanded it and we added some folks to come and cover it. we expanded it and we added some there we expanded it an

jeremy corbyn has rejected suggestions he should step down. i was elected to lead this party, to oppose austerity and the redistribution of wealth in the wrong direction which is what this government is doing, we will continue our campaigning work on the nhs and social care and housing. his words have done nothing to reassure critics in his party. this is a catastrophic defeat here in copeland. in circumstance is, in which, absolutely we should be winning. to have any hope of being able to form, the next labour government. there was some comfort for labour, in stoke central where campaigners saw off the threat from ukip to hold onto the seat. the pa rty‘s new ukip to hold onto the seat. the party's new mp said it was a victory for the whole labour movement. to those of you who came to stoke—on—trent to sow hatred and division and to turn us away from oui’ division and to turn us away from our friends division and to turn us away from ourfriends and division and to turn us away from our friends and neighbours. division and to turn us aw

we'lljeremy corbyn care about any of this? he will take this in exactly the way he has previously when david miliband stepped in, thinking there is a voice from the past from the opposite wing of the labour party sniping at him. david miliband used to be tony blair's policy chief and former foreign secretary and he is from the opposite end of the party that jeremy corbyn is. he has stepped into the fray once again off the back of the copeland result, 80 yea rs back of the copeland result, 80 years a labour seat, and now it is true blue tory. there will be concern in large parts of labour that if the swing that took the seat broke the 2000 majority for labour to 2000 majority for the tories, a 6% swing, if that was replicated across the country, we could see the tories with a majority of 125 and labour down to 170 seats. he is clearly speaking out, but will it make a difference? he is working for a charity in new york. unless he is coming back? that was put to him. people do ask. he was, some thought, he would be labour's leade

they are saying that would strengthen jeremy corbyn. in the meantime they believe that labour, as it stands, is simply too weak to win, too strong to die. deepin too weak to win, too strong to die. deep in the doldrums and deeper in trouble. john, john pienaar, many thanks. iraqi troops have entered western mosulfor the first time in their offensive to drive out so—called islamic state from the country's second city. west mosul is the last is stronghold in iraq. they're surrounded, along with an estimated 750,000 civilians. but government forces today met fierce resistance, as they fought their way into the city from the airport. quentin somerville and cameraman nick millard were the first journalists to head in to the district of jawsaq. they've sent this report. the so—called islamic state — breached. the very first iraqi government forces roll into west mosul, and into a firefight. is were waiting, and well defended. iraqi forces are encountering heavy resistance as they move into west mosul. it has taken them less than a week

as unusually jeremy corbyn tonight is what happens to labour. as unusuallyjeremy corbyn is supporting the government in voting to have article 50 triggered. but we know that three shadow cabinet members have already resigned saying they cannot vote for article 50 to be triggered. we are going to be watching to see what happens to clive lewis who is the shadow business secretary. he said earlier today he hadn't yet made up his mind. it was a tough call but he was going to have to make. but he said that if he did defy orders from jeremy corbyn he would therefore be standing down from the shadow cabinet. so that is what is happening this evening and we will bring you up to date as things develop. interesting, clive lewis and also diane abbott who last week in the key vote was absent, she said she was ill with a migraine. so all eyes will be on her as well to see whether she goes with her leader, jeremy corbyn, and his three line whip on this. that's right, diane abbott a key ally ofjeremy corbyn who last week said she had a migraine which was why s

is it down to jeremy corbyn's departure? worrying. is it down to jeremy corbyn's departure ?|j worrying. is it down to jeremy corbyn's departure? i don't know about that, i don't know whether this is going to shake the tree on the next step, because of course he still does have the len mccluskey ‘s of this world. and even if they came out against him, they don't control their members votes, for a long time their members votes, for a long time the union block vote was to cried as anti—democratic. now the bosses may feel that even if they come out against a leader like corbin, their members might still vote for him had in fact they would be quite likely to. let's move on, we talked about theresa may, great day, wonderful victory. but lots of things around the corner. we think brexit, but the ft has a slightly different thing, that she faces a disability benefits battle. what is this about? theresa may and her government, it is funny that politics always wants to personalise and make it about the leader. actually this is about the government and an initiative that began with

sack corbyn, sack corbyn! labour had said the vote was on a knife edge. in the aftermath of defeat, their departing candidate chose not to face questions. but this is a moment in history. the first time a conservative has represented the area since the 1930s. and, for them tonight, jubilation. but serious questions for labour underjeremy corbyn. theresa may made the rare move of visiting a by—election seat vacated by an opposition mp. it was a hard—fought campaign over nuclearjobs and hospital services. the result leaves labour assessing its electoral prospects. but there was better news for labour in the by—election in stoke—on—trent, another traditional seat for the party. they held on with a reduced majority. this by—election was a test for ukip in a working—class area that voted heavily for brexit. itjust managed second place, but did increase its vote share. ukip's time will come. this will happen. hang on. this seat was, what, number 72 on our hit list. a lot more will happen. there is a lot more to come from us. we are not going anywh

no hope for labour under jeremy corbyn? i changes everything. no hope for labour underjeremy corbyn? i don't think so. i have to back him because lama think so. i have to back him because i am a labour man. i think it is hopeless. still can't been a safe seat for labour butjeremy corbyn turned up he to celebrate holding out against ukip. it is a message about the economy, aboutjobs, about this country but above all, it was a message that hope triumphs over fear. what about copeland? he had already been dogged by that defeat all day. our party mentorship is in good heart, it is very large and strong and we will be out again tomorrow and every other day campaigning to get the message across social justice in campaigning to get the message across socialjustice in britain. yet the team ukip in stoke was a big relief to labour. and a painful blow to ukip and it's defeated candidate and leader. this seat was number 72 on our and leader. this seat was number 72 on our hit list, a lot more will happen, there is a lot more to come from us, we are not goi

of the guardian, the fai jeremy corbyn, a man —— denyeremy corbyn, a man who has defied his own party many times. it is a massive headache for him. he has to have another reachable. i'm not even sure he finished the last one, so that will be interesting. labour has traditionally been a coalition of different bits of society, if you like. it has had the working class, poorer paid people, the proper old labour, as it would be known. then there is the new labour side of things, slightly more middle—class, more well—heeled, things, slightly more middle—class, more well— heeled, public things, slightly more middle—class, more well—heeled, public sector workers, perhaps. and they find that those two halves probably go to different ways in the referendum, and they are probably finding that those two areas are under attack by the tories or uk, so how do you get them back under the same umbrella? in the current climate, it is incredibly difficult. corbyn, to be fair, has an almost impossible job, but he's making such a complete mess of it and cannot control his party or convince th

mr corbyn says places like copeland have been left behind by globalisation. he admits labour hasn't done enough to rebuild trust with people, who he says have been sold out for decades and don't feel labour represents them. in his article in the sunday mirror, he writes: but his words are unlikely to reassure the critics in his party, who fear they are heading for defeat at the general election under his leadership. with me is our political correspondent, tom barton. questions are still hanging there, aren't they? there is no doubt that the copeland by—election result was bad news forjeremy corbyn and the labour party. it was a defeat in a labour party. it was a defeat in a labour stronghold, in a seat which was halfway between two general elections and they should have expected to win. jeremy corbyn, writing in the sunday mirror today, recognises that he has a share of responsibility to take for that defeat, but at the same time, he says he is determined to finish the job of labour leader. he signalled there is not going to be any change of direction for t

will vote against this in defiance ofjeremy corbyn, they are not in the shadow cabinet but they are on his front bench team. it is unclear whether they will be sacked for doing so but having spent so long trying to fill those places, jeremy corbyn now has three more vacancies. thank you. that vote is due ina vacancies. thank you. that vote is due in a few moments time, but now it is time for sportsday. these are oui’ it is time for sportsday. these are our headlines. it is an embarrassing end to the tour of india for england. they lost the t20 series. the top four all drop points last night. manchester united need to cash in against hull tonight. fans and players say farewell to graham taylor today. good evening. the england cricket captain said his team were not at the races today. madison understatement. this was their last match on tour, a t20 series decider, chasing 203 for victory and they disintegrated losing the last eight wickets. test series lost, one—day series loss, surely not this one. after deciding to bowl, they had a big breakthrough. they kohli went walkies. they

michaelwhite, will jeremy corbyn stay? until the next election? i think he is. jeremy corbyn stay? until the next election? ithink he is. he is popular in the party as ken livingstone said. he has a mandate the second time, last year. my difficulty with what ken hirst —— ken has said. he will win the next election on the promise ofjobs and reversing the things we got wrong or failed to do the last time and they have an honest leader, he is right aboutjeremy, have an honest leader, he is right about jeremy, he is have an honest leader, he is right aboutjeremy, he is an honest man by the way things go. that was attractive about him to activists. i saw his campaign in the summer of 15 and as soon as i got there i realised he would win. it was like a religious meeting. but the opinion polls, the tories on 41% and labour oi'i polls, the tories on 41% and labour onl polls, the tories on 41% and labour on i think 25,20 six. nobody believes what ken livingstone said, that labour is going to win. ken livingstone, nobody believes what you are saying about labour winning. the opinion poll

but there is another issue thatjeremy corbyn faces, which is, to put it blu ntly, corbyn faces, which is, to put it bluntly, a significant human resources challenge. he has 229 mps. 0ver resources challenge. he has 229 mps. over the course of his leadership, he's faced 79 resignations or sackings, on top of that, there's a significant number of mps who have made it clear that they don't want to serve in his frontbench team. so the pool of people from which he could choose, if he decided to fire all 14 of these frontbenchers, would potentially be limited and he might struggle to find suitable candidates. among the 14 frontbenchers, these are the people responsible for enforcing party discipline. how difficult is it going to be in the future when that is what they have to do? there's going to be extraordinary conversations with mps sitting down, one of them saying, "you have to obey these rules." the other can, in all fairness, say, "well, you didn't obey these rules and you got away with it, so why should i? forjeremy corbyn and the party leadership when they have a difficult vote, whe

the second problem isjeremy corbyn himself. even left—wing labour mps here tell me that his leadership came up here tell me that his leadership came up on here tell me that his leadership came up on prompted on the doorstep, and not in a good way. the third thing is that some of the people here don't necessarily see jeremy corbyn as an antiestablishment figure, that's how he'd like to portray himself. they see labour as the establishment party, they've had the establishment party, they've had the mp for the past 80 years and they don't think they've done enough for the local area. those three problems together could be toxic for labour at the next general election. but the overriding problem labour mps have is they try to dislodge jeremy corbyn last year and they failed. it looks like they have no workable plan b. let's go to norman smith who is in stoke, where corbyn will be celebrating later on. one wonders how much celebration there will actually be. paul nuttall is not celebrating either, of course. i don't think there wi
