Jeremy Corbyn has suggested the UK could keep its Trident | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
submarine fleet but without carrying nuclear warheads. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Mr Corbyn told the BBC there were "options" for maintaining | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
defence jobs while showing the UK was willing to take a lead | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
The party is carrying out a review of its defence strategy. | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
They are at sea round the clock, carrying Britain's Trident nuclear | :00:39. | :00:51. | |
missiles, but this year Parliament will decide whether to build a new | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
generation of submarines to carry the warheads. It's an issue Labour | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
MPs are sharply divided on. This morning Jeremy Corbyn suggested you | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
could keep the submarines but without the nuclear missiles. They | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
don't have to have nuclear warheads on them. An option he indicated was | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
being looked at in Labour's defence review. There are option there is, | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
the paper that Emily Thornberry put forward is a very interesting one | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
and deserves a good study and read of it. I hope there'll be a serious, | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
mature response to what is a very serious and hopefully mature debate | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
about the nature of security and insecurity, the nature of the way in | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
which we protect ourselves against insecurity and bring about a more | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
secure world as a result. It is unclear how Mr Corbyn's idea would | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
work in practice but it is these workers and jobs unions are worried | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
about. They've been putting pressure on the Labour leader not to give up | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
the party's pro nuclear stance. It is absolutely correct that Jeremy as | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
a future leader of our nation and the Labour Party have a proper | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
debate about our whole in this worrying world we live in, that we | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
have a comprehensive debate about this sector and don't obsess on | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Trident. The boats are built in Barrow-in-Furness. The local Labour | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
MP says Mr Corbyn's idea is mindless. Having a deterrent with no | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
capacity to deter in it because it has no missile in it is like having | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
a broken Army without ammunition. It is deeply frustrating, because every | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
day we spend debating implausible schemes like this is a day we are | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
not able to hold the Conservative Government to account. The killings | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
on Trident is likely to happen before the summer. It will bring | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
another headache Mr Corbyn could do without. | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
Mr Corbyn also said he was in favour of repealing the law which prohibits | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
people going out on strike in support of other workers. | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
He said so-called sympathy strikes were legal in most other countries | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
What did he have to say about the strikes? Jeremy Corbyn is certainly | :03:04. | :03:13. | |
sticking to that left-wing agenda which won him the Labour leadership. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
He said for some time he would' peel the Trade Union Bill which would | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
restrict the power of unions to hold strikes, introduce thresholds for | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
ballots and so on. Now he says he thinks sympathy strikes should be | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
allowed so that workers in one industry could walk out in support | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
of workers in a quite different business. That is something which | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
was tackled by the Thatcher Government and finally outlawed 25 | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
years ago. The Tories have said if this was allowed it would damage the | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
economy. Some more moderate Labour MPs are quite concerned about the | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
concern and tone of the agenda. One said it was a throw back to one of | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
the worst periods in Labour's history when the party was | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
unelectable. But you won't be surprised to know that the unions | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
are absolutely delighted. Len McCluskey of Unite said it was music | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
to his ears. Carole, thank you. Iran says the lifting of nuclear | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
sanctions has opened a new chapter in its international relations | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
and will be a turning point The Iranian Government says | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
it is ready to increase its crude oil exports by 500,000 | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
barrels a day. In the last hour, a plane carrying | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
four Americans previously held by the Iranians left Tehran | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
for the United States. It's a new era for Iran. Many of the | :04:25. | :04:37. | |
sanctions that have crippled its economy have been lifted. Iran's | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
President Hassan Rouhani told Parliament the deal is a golden page | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
in his country's history. A turning point for its relations with the | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
rest of the world. Another sign of warming ties with America, a | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
dramatic prisoner swap. Washington Post reportth reporter Jason Rezaian | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
and three other Iranian Americans released from captivity. For more | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
than a decade there've been concerns that Iran has been trying to develop | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
nuclear weapons, but now it has dramatically scaled back its nuclear | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
programme. Inspectors here at the UN's | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
nuclear watchdog in Vienna will have a crucial role to play | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
if their suspicions about Iran's Under the terms of the nuclear deal, | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
they've been given much stronger powers of inspection and greater | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
access to nuclear sites in Iran. But some countries, notably Israel, | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
are concerned that Iran still has ambitions to develop | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
a nuclear weapon. TRANSLATION: The international | :05:37. | :05:52. | |
community must impose clear and severe sanctions for any violation. | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
Iran would have possessed nuclear weapons a long time ago. In Iran | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
people are celebrating. It will take time before people feel the full | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
effects of sanctions relief, but there's hope the days of isolation | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
are now over. Six Canadians were among the 28 | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
people killed in an Islamist gun attack in the West African | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
country of Burkina Faso The attack was carried out | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
by a group linked to Al-Qaeda. Our correspondent, | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
Thomas Fessy, is in Ougadougou. Perhaps you can bring us up to date | :06:21. | :06:34. | |
with the latest. We now know that people from at least nine different | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
countries were killed during the attack on Friday night. More bodies | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
have yet to be identified, and the identification process is ongoing. | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
The investigators are at the scene behind me at the hotel, but already | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
we though that people from Canada, Ukraine, from France, Libya, the US, | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
from Portugal, from Switzerland have been killed in this attack. Quite | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
clearly Al-Qaeda militants who stormed the hotel picked a hotel | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
where they knew they were going to find westerners there. Before they | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
stormed the hotel, they began the attack just across the street in a | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
cafe. One of the most popular with foreigners here in the capital. We | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
understand that this has been the scene of the biggest carnage. More | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
than two thirds of the casualties were found there. Thomas, thank you. | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Exactly 25 years after the start of the conflict, | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
the Royal British Legion has said more needs to be done to help those | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
Over 33,000 British servicemen are thought to be suffering | :07:37. | :07:47. | |
Over 50,000 apprenticeship troops in the largest military coalition since | :07:48. | :08:04. | |
World War II. 25 years on many of those who served are still suffering | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
from the side effects of their service. Gulf War syndrome is the | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
umbrella term to describe those side effects. | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
They include acute and chronic fatigue, rashes, muscle pain, | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
It's thought 33,000 veterans suffer from the condition. | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
Despite this, very little is known about how to treat it, | :08:22. | :08:30. | |
Former RAF navigator John Nichol was shot down and captured | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
He says the Government should be doing more. | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
The Government sends young men and women into conflict, to fight, | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
to die, to come back with terrible injuries, and we all accept that | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
But it is the Government, the state, and I mean by that you, | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
me and I and all of your viewers, who should be picking up the tab | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
for this, not leaving it to charities. | :08:51. | :08:51. | |
So today the Royal British Legion is calling on the Government to invest | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
in more research. We see this as the Government's opportunity to fulfil | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
its obligations through the Military Covenant which was enshrined in law | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
and states that no service personnel should experience disadvantage or | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
inequalities as a result of their service. | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
The Ministry of Defence accepts that Gulf War illnesses do exist, | :09:12. | :09:33. | |
The Government does fund a war pension scheme to help pay for | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
treatment of these illnesses but the Royal British Legion says it is | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
money for search that would improve that treatment. | :09:46. | :09:47. | |

Hello there. Some of us started on a snowy note. Southern parts of | :09:54. | :10:09. | |
Britain saw the first snowfall of the season so far. It has left a | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
