Labour's row over anti-semitism deepens with claims that it's | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
being used to undermine Jeremy Corbyn. | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
He hits back at his critics, dismissing talk of racism | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
We stand absolutely against anti-Semitism in any form. We stand | :00:15. | :00:27. | |
absolutely against racism in any form. | :00:28. | :00:29. | |

The row inside the Labour party over anti-semitism deepened today. | :00:46. | :01:12. | |
The party leader Jeremy Corbyn insisted that Labour was united | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
in opposing racism and one of his supporters, the head | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
of Britain's biggest union, Len McCluskey, accused some Labour | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
MPs of using the controversy to try to undermine Mr Corbyn's leadership. | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
But Israel's ambassador to London said that parts of the British left | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
This report from our Political Correspondent | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
A barrage of further questions for Jeremy Corbyn. | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
How is the campaign going, Jeremy? | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Criticism of his handling of this row shows no sign of relenting, | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
despite his pledge to tackle the problem with an inquiry | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
We stand absolutely against anti-Semitism in any form. | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
We stand absolutely against racism in any form. | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
We stand united as a Labour movement... | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
At today's rally, he was surrounded by friends and supporters. | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
People are choosing to be offended in order to dislodge Jeremy Corbyn. | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
It seems to me that the right of the Labour Party | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
I don't think it should affect Jeremy Corbyn. | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
I don't think it will affect Jeremy Corbyn, and I will be | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
delighted to say I will be supporting Jeremy Corbyn. | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
Jeremy Corbyn's insisted he's always opposed racism in all forms, | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
but this row has now led to new questions about his | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
leadership just days from elections which will be seen | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
Labour's candidate for London mayor, Sadiq Khan, | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
told a Sunday newspaper the row could harm his prospects, | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
and a former Labour minister said the whole crisis | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
If action had been taken earlier, we could have nipped | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
this problem in the bud, but it hasn't been gripped. | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
I hope it's now finally been gripped after the Livingstone fiasco this | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
week, but we will be judged on what we do. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
But the Unite union leader, Len McCluskey, accused some Labour | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
MPs of aiding and abetting the Tories and right wing | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
press to undermined their own leader. | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
This is nothing more than a cynical attempt to manipulate | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
anti-Semitism for political aims, because this is all about | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
constantly challenging Jeremy Corbyn's leadership. | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
You don't need any more pictures of me. | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
Ken Livingstone has refused to back down from his claim that | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
Hitler supported Zionism before the Holocaust, | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
despite being suspended from his party. | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
Israel's new ambassador said some within the Labour Party | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
It's not about criticising Israel, it's about demonising | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
The comments we have heard over the last two or three weeks | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
that were made public, it has got nothing to do | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
with criticising this or that particular Israeli policy. | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
The pressure on Jeremy Corbyn is far from over, with Labour braced | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
for significant losses at this week's elections. | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
Are you going to go to Israel, Mr Corbyn? | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
How much substance is there in the idea that this row has been | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
Undoubtedly there are a number of Labour MPs who've never been happy | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
with Jeremy Corbyn's leadership and a few who might try to use it to | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
instigate some sort of moves against him. But this does now go much wider | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
than this. You only have to look at those comments from the Israeli | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
ambassador. It's a serious issue for the Labour Party and if the | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
leadership were to try toe sweep this aside as simply being got at by | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
a group of Labour MP who is don't like him, that would make matters | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
even worse for Jeremy Corbyn. The problem is that this whole row's now | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
drowning out any of the other messages that Labour would like to | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
be getting across ahead of those important elections in Scotland, | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
Wales, London, and local councils right across the country. Many | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
Labour MPs are deeply pessimistic about their prospects and, if their | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
fears are realised if Labour does suffer significant losses, then I | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
think it will be very difficult indeed to simply argue that it's | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
just a bunch of old Blairites who're the cause of all Jeremy Corbyn's | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
problems. Scientists in Brazil say the Zika | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
virus may be much more dangerous It's been linked to microcephaly, | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
that's the birth of babies Experts have told the BBC that Zika | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
could be behind many other damaging neurological conditions affecting | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
one in five pregnant From Rio, our correspondent | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
Wyre Davies sent this report. The Zika virus and its potentially | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
devastating consequences In Brazil, there have now been | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
almost 1200 confirmed cases of microcephaly, | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
where babies are born Doctors have now told the BBC that | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
microcephaly is just the tip of the iceberg, | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
one of several neurological As more is known about Zika, | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
specialists say the risk to expectant mothers who have had | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
the virus could be even greater TRANSLATION: The expectation is that | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
a woman who has had Zika has a 1% chance of having | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
a baby with microcephaly, but if we consider a range of other | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
possible neurological conditions, There is an urgency | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
to understand more about Zika Here they are using stem cell | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
technology to create new cells that They call them mini brains, | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
and they infect them with Zika. Perhaps some of the most interesting | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
and alarming work that is being done here on these so-called mini brains | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
is proof of just how effective and destructive | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
the Zika virus can be. What we see here is the cerebral | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
cortex. Neuroscientists were shocked | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
by what they discovered. The huge reduction in growth | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
of the cerebral cortex, the critical The effect of the Zika virus | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
was very impressive. We were all astonished | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
by the fast effect. In three days, we saw really | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
a massive cell death. In six days, the neuro spheres | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
were completely gone. Zika infection and cases | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
of microcephaly are spreading in southern states, | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
including Rio de Janeiro, particularly among poorer | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
sectors of society. We've seen no anti-Zika campaigns | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
around here, says Fabiani, illustrating that messages | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
about Zika control aren't getting The baby's father abandoned | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
the family when he discovered little Valentino was ill, leaving | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
the mother to bring up four children in a country still learning how | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
damaging this virus can be. The Government has dismissed reports | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
that it could force the BBC to reschedule some of its most | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
popular shows to avoid clashing Several newspapers say | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
the Culture Secretary John Whittingdale is considering the idea | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
as negotiations continue over This report from our | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
Arts Correspondent David Sillito. Saturday evening, | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
the traditional prime-time Dr Who, Strictly Come | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
Dancing, X Factor. But why does the end | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
of Strictly often overlap Why couldn't the big | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
shows be separated? Also, why are the BBC's dramas often | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
scheduled directly against ITV's? It appears the Government has had | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
enough of this. The headlines today proclaimed | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
that the BBC was about to be told So what can anyone do | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
about these clashes? Well, the Government has been | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
concerned about the BBC's impact on its commercial rivals for some | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
time now, and it's understood they are looking at the possibility | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
of whoever ends up regulating the BBC having some power | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
to either adjudicate However, in a statement, | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
the Department of Culture says the Government is not going to be | :09:29. | :09:38. | |
interfering in the schedules. But this doesn't mean it's not | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
concerned about the corporation's In terms of scheduling | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
and Saturday nights, there will be nothing | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
about scheduling Saturday nights. But there will be probably something | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
about the BBC minding its Ps and Qs, being a bit more careful than it | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
sometimes has been about its impact Questions have also been raised | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
about both ITV and the BBC broadcasting their main evening | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
bulletins at the same time, But do clashes over | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
the news or Strictly matter Obviously there is that | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
prime-time viewing that is If they clash in the schedules, | :10:15. | :10:26. | |
does that bother you? No, because I can always do | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
it on catch-up. And there is also the Government's | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
own recent report on the topic, which said the impact on ITV | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
from clashes in entertainment and drama was at most | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
1% of its audience. The helicopter that crashed | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
in Norway on Friday killing 13 people had to abort two separate | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
flights only days The Super Puma returned to base | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
on both occasions when The British victim of the crash has | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
been named today as 41-year-old Iain Stuart from Laurencekirk | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
in Aberdeenshire. His family say they are | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
heartbroken by his death. A man's been arrested on suspicion | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
of murder after the body of a teenage girl was pulled | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
from the sea at Broadstairs in Kent. Officers were first called | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
to the port in Ramsgate due to concerns for a person | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
in the water; an air and sea search was carried out by the coastguard, | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
and the body was recovered. The girl's next-of-kin | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
have been informed. Now, how can politicians | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
generate better life That was one of the themes | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
in the final Scottish leaders' TV debate this evening ahead | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
of Thursday's The SNP say theirs is a manifesto | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
for the next generation which will give everyone an equal | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
chance of going to university. So what's their record | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
in government? Our Scotland Editor Sarah Smith | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
has this assessment. An education fit for a future king | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
is free for Scottish students studying at St Andrews | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
and all of Scotland's But that does not mean | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
all young Scots have an equal How to improve access to higher | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
education is a key issue Free university tuition fees | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
are a popular policy that the SNP say is at the heart | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
of their commitment to equal access for all students, | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
regardless of background. But does it really help poorer | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
students get into places like this? Or does it disguise a failure in one | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
of the Scottish Government's The challenge is to give young | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
people from disadvantaged backgrounds the same chances | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
of getting into university as kids It is still not a level playing | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
field. And at this youth club in Clydebank | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
they told me that is because fees When I was in school, nobody ever | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
spoke to me about going to uni. There is not the support there, | :12:47. | :12:54. | |
or your family's not been to university, and you don't have | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
anybody round about you to be like, yeah, uni is a good idea, | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
it will set you up for lif. My parents wouldn't like sit down | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
and help me with homework and they wouldn't go after school | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
clubs, they wouldn't go to homework clubs, | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
it was work focussed. As soon as you can find a job | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
and help contribute to, you know, the household income and things | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
like that, you are better, Everyone here thinks that free | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
tuition is helpful, but while the Government covers | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
the fees for all students, even the most privileged, | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
grants to cover maintenance costs for poorer students have been cut, | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
while loans have been increased. If you look at the reality | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
of what has happened under the SNP over the last eight years, | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
the highest price has been paid Bursaries for the poorer students | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
have been cut by a third. We know in Scotland you are only | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
half as likely to get to university if you are from a poorer background | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
than south of the border. We don't think that is good enough, | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
we need to give extra help to people The carpentry course | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
at West College Scotland is the preferred option | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
for these students. Critics complain it is colleges that | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
have paid the price for free The college sector in Scotland has | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
been stripped bare. We have had massive cuts that have | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
involved 152,000 college The biggest repair job we have | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
do is to invest back The SNP say their reforms have | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
prioritised vocational courses like bricklaying over low | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
quality part-time studies. They insist they can support | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
colleges and universities, You have made access | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
to university a priority. After nine years of an SNP | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
Government why is this still such The attainment gap is | :14:40. | :14:49. | |
a long-standing problem. Over nine years of an SNP | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
Government, we have seen It is not we are going | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
in the wrong direction. I make no apology for want doing | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
better and do more and do it faster. Slow progress has seen a small | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
increase in the numbers of disadvantaged students, | :15:03. | :15:04. | |
making it into higher education. If reelected, Nicola Sturgeon has | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
pledged every child in Scotland will eventually have an equal | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
shot at getting to one North Korea is making | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
last-minute preparations for a once-in-a-generation congress | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
of its ruling elite. The meeting is expected | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
to consolidate the power and authority of Kim Jong-Un | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
as the country's Supreme Leader. North Korea is a closed | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
and secretive state, to which journalists | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
rarely get access. But our correspondent | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
Rupert Wingfield-Hayes joined a group of visiting Nobel Laureates | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
to travel to the capital Pyongyang - May Day fun | :15:40. | :15:42. | |

I expected to find There was nothing like this last | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
time I came here. A lot of these kids | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
can speak English. I have taken this several | :15:57. | :16:09. | |
times, but it is time. I am studying at Kim | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
Il-sung University. Pampered and privileged, | :16:13. | :16:21. | |
but even they live an incredibly Do you meet foreigners | :16:22. | :16:35. | |
much, do you get any It's your first chance | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
to meet a foreigner? While the elite plays, | :16:40. | :16:49. | |
the masses are preparing for the biggest political | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
show here in decades. From atop a high monument, | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
we glimpse thousands of dancers rehearsing for the opening | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
of the Workers' Party Congress. Its job - to glorify | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
the rule of Kim Jong-un. There is no escaping | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
the Kim dynasty, even with tales of | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
how Marshal Kim personally But the children we | :17:13. | :17:22. | |
are shown look remarkably well and there is not | :17:23. | :17:28. | |

a place like this, it looks very modern, | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
it is clean, there is modern equipment, | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
but we are not allowed to talk | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
to ordinary people. If I turn to try to ask these | :17:55. | :17:56. | |
people, they run away. Everything we see | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
looks like a set-up. It is easier to understand | :18:00. | :18:00. | |
the national sport, tae kwon do. This is how North Korea | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
