there is another investigation into ken livingstone. clearly there are people in the labour party who feel offended, whether they are jewish or not. what is this going to do to the party? i think it is ruinous and unjust and one of the things i thought this morning when i heard how the chief rabbi was demanding more punishment, i thought there was ajewish tradition more punishment, i thought there was a jewish tradition for compassion and forgiveness and understanding other people. ken livingstone is not known for his tax dollars but he is not the only person who is tactless in this world —— for his pack fullness —— tax .igot . i got the impression that he has been suffering this last year. he may not show it but i think there has been a personal cruelty towards him andi has been a personal cruelty towards him and i don't want any more of it. jenny manson thank you very much. let's return to our main story this evening. the united nations security council has been meeting in an emergency session to discuss a suspected chemical a

we are hoping to speak to ken livingstone in a short while. a service of hope and reconciliation has taking place in westminster abbey, a fortnight after the terror attack near the houses of parliament. khalid masood drove a car into pedestrians on westminster bridge, killing three people, and fatally stabbed a police officer, before he was shot dead. the duke and duchess of cambridge and prince harry havejoined about two thousand people attending the multi—faith service. our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, reports. two weeks ago the area around the westminster abbey was caught up in the chaos of that afternoon. nearby on westminster bridge there were casualties. people mown down as they enjoyed the sights of london, closer stilljust inside the gates of the houses of parliament, there were gunshots. and a murder of an unarmed police officer, one of the four innocent people who died that day. two weeks later at westminster abbey, a service, quite deliberately not a memorial service, it is felt to be too soon after the event for that,

ken livingstone said he is not guilty of anti—semitism and they did not find me guilty. it is a sensitive business, but the jewish community to grave offence? they really did. i would just say that the sanctions he has been given here make no difference to him, because i spoke to him recently and he almost indicated he has semi retired and doesn't want to hold office. i don't think he is pursuing to become an mp. the head of young labour in london has said, ken livingstone doesn't represent her views. she is a jewish lady. she was deeply hurt by it. if she is the future of the labour party, people her age and her generation say his views are not reflective of how they feel and you have the support people like that. they are the future of the party and they are putting their foot down and saying it is not ok. one of the interesting elements about this, is jeremy corbyn should make his position clear on this. another example of the labour party emerging not too well from a highly controversial issue. jeremy corbyn in the headlines again himself when challenged by a reporte

we‘ve just had that ken livingstone has refused to apologise. we‘vejust had in that ken livingstone has refused to apologise. we‘ve just had in the past have an hour from the shadow attorney general who said that it is theissue attorney general who said that it is the issue of ken livingstone being unrepentant and refusing to apologise. saying, she is horrified and there could be grounds for further investigation by the party. the official line from labour is that they have acknowledged the ruling but we have not heard anything from jeremy corbyn yet. he says labour‘s policy has been to root out any form of anti—semitism within the party but there are fingers pointed this afternoon at the leadership, suggesting more could be done. thank you. members of the european parliament have voted overwhelmingly in favour of taking a tough start over brexit negotiations, citing red lines that can‘t be crossed. there were testy exchanges. one said brexit was the stupidity caused by a catfight inside the conservative party and that britain will one

which ken livingstone would devastate. it is becoming an increasingly no go area for non— jewish people to say anything about israel, about hitler and my view is there is a division coming up between jewish and my view is there is a division coming up betweenjewish members of the labour party and non— jewish people in the labour party and people in the labour party and people of the community which would lead to a real anti—semitism which would be my fear. a real anger that certain community is refusing to allow debate. how can, then, the policies of the israeli government be criticised without being regarded as anti—semitism? i think it's impossible to be anti—semitic if you criticise the israeli government. what would be anti—semitic is criticising the jews what would be anti—semitic is criticising thejews in the israeli government. one of president trump's closest advisers, his chief strategist steve bannon, has been removed from his position on the us national security council. a senior official said that

we are hoping to speak to ken livingstone in the next hour. now the spot. 0lympic showjumping champion nick skelton has announced his retirement from the sport. skelton, who's 59, won gold at the rio games last summer on his horse big star. four years earlier at london 2012, he helped great britain to a team gold medal. in a statement skelton said the sport has given him more than he could have hoped for over the past 43 years. 0ur reporter lizzie greenwood hughes said the news is almost as much about the horse, big star, as its famous rider. he always said when that horse retired he would retire and i said to him recently did part of him which the horse was 16, the horse is about 13, did he wish the horse was 16 or 17 so they could say that was it and they had done it and they do not have to compete. he has barely done much competing since then. he did not want anyone else to write that horse. i heard word on the grapevine recently that the horse was not quite right so i wondered if this might be coming. he is a stallion is they can make a lo

while defending a colleague from allegations of anti—semitism, ken livingstone said this... let's remember when hitler w011 this... let's remember when hitler won his election in 1932, his policy that you should be moved to is larreal —— jews should be moved to israel, his boy went mad and ended up israel, his boy went mad and ended up killing 1 millionjews. israel, his boy went mad and ended up killing 1 million jews. you're a nazi apologist, rewriting history. some labour colleagues were furious, accusing him of anti—semitism, divisions laid bare with some supporting him. democrats and people in the labour party should resist the attempt to have free speech on israel closed down in the labour party, debate is the essence of democracy. and today mr livingstone stood by his comments. you said you're not anti—semitic but do you realise your comments and their offence? he said they had been misreported and used to undermine labour's leadership. the home select committee was... he believed it. that is seven weeks after what i said and even then he didn't know. this is w

well, ken livingstone is here with me. also here is labour mp wes streeting, who has been critical of both mr livingstone and the labour party's handling of this affair. good evening, both. ken livingstone, you thought you were going to be expelled and you have had a lucky escape. i think that the labour party's barrister and lawyer were probably saying to them, if you expell ken livingstone, he goes tojudicial review and you have no chance of winning. you can have all sorts of arguments, but i did not say that hitler was a zionist. 0n the jewish chronicle, it said that i said jews were like nazis, this is outrageous. i know that fake news is the big thing. wes, what does it feel like to be in the same party as ken livingstone the night, wes streeting? we said the labour party will take a zero tolerance approach to anti—semitism and today was an opportunity to demonstrate the live up to that promise and we have blown it, because the labour party's process has conceded that ken has brought the labour party into disrepute.

that was the former labour mayor of london, ken livingstone, speaking a short while ago. joining us from liverpool is the labour mp louise ellman. that talk about his statement today where he tries to justify what he said in the past and says this is an attempt to undermine mr corbyn. the labour party took a shameful and outrageous decision yesterday, it is clearly emboldened ken livingstone and he is now continually repeating the statements, the untruths and the distortions that give such offence and field anti—semitism. he doesn't seem and field anti—semitism. he doesn't seem to be able to recognise the situation he is in and it is a matter of extreme urgency that the national executive committee does meet and does something about this. the jewish labour movement meet and does something about this. thejewish labour movement is already taking steps to bring this issue before the party conference in the autumn. this issue will not go away. i think ken livingstone would help is a situation if he recognised how wrong he has been, the 30 has caused and stops repeating th

ken livingstone did bring the party into disrepute, but he's not been booted out. still a member but he's been suspended for a yearfrom out. still a member but he's been suspended for a year from holding office or representing the party. what's your reaction?” office or representing the party. what's your reaction? i expected them to expel meats, so i've now got to consider whether i challenge this legally or just live with to consider whether i challenge this legally orjust live with it. -- expel me. comments made on a bbc interview last year started the controversy. while defending a colleague allegations accusations of anti—semitism, ken livingstone said this... when hitler won his election in 1932 it was that the dues should be moved to israel. he was supporting zionism before he went mad and ended up killing 6 million jewish people. some labour collea g u es jewish people. some labour colleagues were furious, accusing him of anti—semitism. divisions again laid bare, with some supporting him. everybody in the labour party, and particularly democrats throu

well, ken livingstone is a big figure in the labour party. he has been a member for many years, a former london mayor, a colourful character, but also no stranger to controversy. this latest one steams from comments he made last year. he was giving an interview to a bbc radio station. he was defended a labour colleague from claims of anti—semitism when ken livingstone said at one time hitler had supported zionism. it was that comment which provocked an angry backlash. some labour mps accuse ken livingstone himself of being anti—semitic. others say said what he said was highly offensive. he has stood by his comments. he said they we re stood by his comments. he said they were a matter—of—fact and were misreported and taken out of context. misreported and taken out of co ntext. h e misreported and taken out of context. he was suspended from the labour party and a dis—palestinary panel, meeting behind me, will decide his fate. whether or not he should be expelled from from the party for bringing it into disrepute. we are expecting the

it was overshadowed by the ken livingstone situation. officially the labour party says it acknowledges the result of the ruling and we have not held anything from jeremy corbyn. he has always said that the labour party stands against any form of anti—semitism in the party. there are fingers being pointed at the leadership that more needs to be done to tackle this issue within the party. we will have more reaction to that later. we will also have coverage of that service of remembrance for the victims of the terror attacks in the westminster starting at midday. it was a cold start this morning. there was an grim contrast of the conditions were right. we are getting some beautiful sunshine to start the day. —— ground frost. the wind is quite strong and the north of the country, it can be blowing a gale. for most of us it is going to bea gale. for most of us it is going to be a try and bright day, if rather cloudy in the afternoon. not very warm because the wind is from the north—west. if we keep the sunshine which is likely in sout

we are finding out ken livingstone's fate now. ken livingstone's suggesting to reporters that he might be expelled from the party. that is but gear—12.2? anything_ 'f,::’if’:;fif use}? anything. he tiff??? g anything. he doesn'tfi not sorry for anything. he doesn't think he's done anything wrong. i spoke to the chair of thejewish labour market and in contrast to what you heard ken livingstone saying just then, jeremy was saying that he thought that there was pain, anguish and hurt caused by ken livingstone's remarks of a year ago and also that he called it a form of holocaust revisionism. what about the sanctions that he could face? well, quite simply, he could be thrown out of the party for the comments he made last year. the reason being, the thought is that those comments and the row that has been created as a result of them have really brought the labour party into disrepute. a point that ken livingstone seems to acknowledge today by suggesting that he may comment if he gets expelled today but might then leave any furth

which, of course ken livingstone would never say. my other feeling is that there is becoming increasingly a no—go area for non—jews to say anything about israel, about hitler. and my experience is that there is a division creeping up between jewish members of the labour party and non—jewish members of the labour party, and wider in the community, which will lead to a real anti—semitism, the sort of anti—semitism i terribly fear. a real anger that a certain community is refusing to allow debate. how can the policies, for example, of the israeli government be criticised without being regarded as anti—semitic? well, it's a terribly good question. i mean, i think it's almost impossible, in my view, to be anti—semitic if you criticise the actions of the israeli government. to be anti—semitic would be to say "look what those jews are now doing in governing israel." labour party memberjenny manson. the european parliament has voted to take a tough stance on brexit negotiations, setting out red lines that can't be crossed. me

i think ken livingstone should have been expelled. i think the labour party has been really slow to deal with anti—semitism in its ranks. i grew up anti—semitism in its ranks. i grew up in the labour party, i come from a labour family, up in the labour party, i come from a labourfamily, i'm up in the labour party, i come from a labour family, i'm just up in the labour party, i come from a labourfamily, i'mjustappalled. i hope that mostjews will now leave the labour party. you know, they have now gone so far that this is not viewable, they have got to sort themselves out. you would encourage themselves out. you would encourage them to leave? i would encourage my fellow jews to them to leave? i would encourage my fellowjews to say, enough, i'm going. unless what? unless they kick—out ken livingstone and deal with and is it is properly. labour has been an antis —— anti—racist party as long as i can remember. and jeremy corbyn‘s handling of it? poor. thank you, a difficult one to approach while we are talking about other thi

a criticism of ken livingstone from her. also thejewish labour movement, the chair was speaking after the verdict. he was unhappy that ken livingstone had not been expelled. he was questioning what was meant in the labour party, and wa nted was meant in the labour party, and wanted to hear more from jeremy corbyn. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story: a suspected chemical weapons attack on a rebel—held town in syria is reported to have killed at least 58 people — most of them civilians. there's been strong international condemnation. president trump says he is working on sweeping reforms to the banking regulations introduced in the united states following the financial crisis in 2007 . the financial crisis in 2007. the president said he was going to give the dodds—frank wall street reform and consumer protection act a very major haircut. michelle fleury joins me from new york. what does this mean in practical terms? it's no surprise that this was on donald trump is much to—do list. he's b

labour's deputy leader, tom watson, has called his party's decision not to expel ken livingstone over his comments about adolf hitler and zionism "incomprehensible". the former mayor of london was yesterday suspended for another year. mr watson has suggested the party is indulging mr livingstone, which he says "shames us all". let's speak to our correspondent ellie price who's at westminster. strong language from tom watson, watmore is he saying? very strong language from the deputy leader of the labour party. the official line so farfrom the labour party. the official line so far from the labour party has been just to acknowledge that the ruling happened last night. but earlier tom watson spoke to the bbc and had strong words to say.|j earlier tom watson spoke to the bbc and had strong words to say. i feel ashamed that once again my party has been dragged into a row about anti—semitism and the way that ken livingstone has handled this enquiry, he has showed no contrition, he has not apologised, he seems to be drunk on his own infamy. he is caused great offence to many members of th

in my view, nothing ken livingstone has said or done has been anti—semitic. as to mentioning hitler and zionism, it may offend some people, but i have been offended by something is such as describing their being rampant anti—semitism in the labour party. —— i have been offended by some things such as. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... russia and the west have clashed over who is responsible for a deadly gas attack in syria which left 70 people dead. the russians blame rebels, the americans and the allies blame the syrian government. russia's supreme court is considering whether to ban thejehovah‘s witnesses religious movement. they would be the first registered religious movement since the soviet era to be outlawed in russia. that is from bbc russia. ecuador‘s president—elect has told julian assange to stop meddling in the country's politics after he mocked a rival candidate who had vowed to expel him from the london embassy. that's from bbc mundo. pepsi have removed their brand new commercial from youtube and

it is worth saying there are some supporters of ken livingstone even in thejewish supporters of ken livingstone even in the jewish community supporters of ken livingstone even in thejewish community who say it is an issue of freedom of speech and last night he said that he stood by his comments and he said that the hearing had been something out of north korea. again, last night, he was back on the airwaves. if he said he was a zionist, who would not have just apologised, i would not have just apologised, i would have asked my doctor if it was the first sign of dementia. he did a deal with zionists, and i did not criticise the deal because 66,000 germans moved to palestine and if they have not, they would have died in the gas chambers. launching labour's local election campaign today, we are talking about ken's bizarre fascination with the 1930s. it is damaging the labour party's reputation. ken has form, go and read back to his second term as mayor of london, whether it was suggesting dues were not voting labour any more because they had become wealthy and has formed when it comes to making il

our top story in the uk, ken livingstone on other former

former london mayor, ken livingstone, is facing a new labour party investigation into his comments about hitler. mr livingstone was last night suspended from the party for a year. labour leader, jeremy corbyn, says his refusal to apologise could now open him up to further disciplinary action. the matter will now be considered by the party‘s ruling executive committee. a group of muslim leaders from britain have been in rome for talks with pope francis as part of efforts to strengthen relations between christians and muslims and to improve the quality of interfaith dialogue. the delegation was led by the leader of roman catholics in england and wales, cardinal vincent nichols of westminster, as our religious affairs correspondent, martin bashir, reports. in a city where christians once feared to tread, four muslim leaders arrived for a meeting that intentionally crossed the borders of their own religion. the four imams — who serve communities in leicester, birmingham, glasgow and london — were taken to the vatican‘s inner sanctum and then the doors opened. pope francis said such a

the former mayor of london, ken livingstone has been suspended from the labour party for one year, following a disciplinary hearing over comments he made about adolf hitler. speaking after the hearing, which was held behind closed doors, mr livingstone said he was surprised he hadn't been expelled but stood by his original comments. i expected them to expel me. i now have to consider if i challenge this legally or live with it. you have just been suspended for another year, how do you feel about that? as iam not year, how do you feel about that? as i am not seeking to return to parliament or stand for the local parliament, it doesn't make much of a change. it does seem quite lenient because you expecting to be expelled. it was like sitting in a court in north korea because nobody was listening. mr livingstone, what is the reason they gave you for a year—long suspension instead... is the reason they gave you for a year—long suspension instead. . ij did year—long suspension instead. . i did the vanessa feltz interview and thatis did the vanessa feltz interview and that is a crime against

labour's ruling body is to review ken livingstone's status in the party following his comments about hitler and zionism, and his suspension for another year. an update on the market numbers for you. here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. and in the the united states this is how the dow and the nasdaq are getting on. let's return to our main story this evening. the united nations security council has been meeting in an emergency session to discuss a suspected chemical attack in idlib province in syria. the us, britain and france have blamed president assad's forces for yesterday's bombing. but russia says a syrian air strike hit a store where rebels kept chemical substances. let's speak to thomas pickering, a former us ambassador tonight president trump has said his attitude to a sara chad has now changed. that i bashar al—assad. —— his attitude to bashar al—assad. let's speak to thomas pickering, a former us ambassador to russia and to the un. he's also served as under secretary of state for political affairs. hejoins us from our washington newsroom. thank you forjo

ken livingstone spoke to reporters on the way to the hearing. claiming i was a zionist and anti—semitic, claiming i was a nazi policies. i‘m just telling the truth. —— nazi politician. our political correspondent mark lobel is outside the hearing in central london. how do we think it‘s going? according to ken who spoke to a facial moment ago, as you said, he thinks he may get expelled from the labour party later today, although he denies he has done anything wrong. he did acknowledge that this is damaging the party and he suggested if he is expelled he will make more comments tonight, and he will wait until after the local elections before saying any more, acknowledging the existence of this row is damaging the labour party. but essentially he defined the two things he believes the three panel, 3—person panel behind me is looking into at the moment, to decide his future and whether he can stay in the labour party or not as his defence of the labour mp, who he said lastjune on radio was not anti—semitic, after she had posted alleged

what about ken livingstone ? is for letting the children... what about ken livingstone? he is for letting the children in calais over here under the letting the children in calais over here underthe dumps letting the children in calais over here under the dumps amendment. lot of that comes down to grandstanding and standing on burning platforms around key issues like children refugees. there are other issues that are going to take the country forward. i understand issues of principle which is great but leadership is about compromise, it's about an amalgamation of ideas and enabling this country to go forward and jeremy corbyn has let us down time and time again on that, as the parliamentary labour party knows. there not much they can do about it and not much any of us can do about it. the destruction of your society, go ahead and vote tory because that is what happening. where are your libraries, parks, work, houses, what about the privatised nhs? think what you will vote for if you let this lot continue. i didn't hear what you said about voting. the labour party doesn't

there had been a suggestion that ken livingstone might be expelled from the party altogether. that has not happened, but he has been suspended for one year. we will bring you more on that as we get further details. in the meantime, let's get back to the situation in syria. with me is doctor abulkareem ekzayez, a syrian doctor who has worked in the idlib region where the suspected chemical attack has taken place. thank you for speaking to us. what do you make of what has happened today? we were shocked by this terrible news and the photos coming from the field. i have contacted some local doctors working there in the area. they have reported that around 7:30am there were air strikes, with some sort of gas. as a result, there were more than 100 deaths. and more than 500 injuries. that's many more than we had been reporting. absolutely. actually there are no accurate numbers because all the injuries were being referred to surrounding hospitals. after just four hours from the first attack, there have been more than three air strikes targeting the main hospital or the only hospital

another day in which comments of ken livingstone have distracted labour from other things. he was suspended from standing for office within the labour party yesterday, not expelled, for his views on hitler and zionism. but he was on this programme last night, and carried on the argument without apology, to the disappointment of many. his latest comments mean there is now to be a second
