The political turmoil following the vote to leave

the European Union engulfed the Labour Party today

with 12 departures from Jeremy Corbyn's top team.

It began with the Labour leader's sacking of his shadow foreign

secretary, Hilary Benn, who told him he had no

In a statement released in the last few minutes, Jeremy Corbyn has

insisted he will not step down saying, he will not be take the

trust of the many thousands who elected him.

Our first report is from our Political Editor, Laura Kuenssberg.

A bad day at the office, a very bad day. Arriving home tonight, it is

the Labour leader who has lost support of ten of his most senior

colleagues, under pressure to do the same. The first departure was Hilary

Benn. He had clashed with Jeremy Corbyn before and was talking to

colleagues at late last night to find a way of getting the leader

out. I said to him I no longer had confidence... You called him first?

I called him and said I no longer had confidence and then he dismissed

me. Voters in traditional Labour areas chose out, not in. And there

is deep anger among Labour MPs who believe Jeremy Corbyn just didn't

pull his weight. Documents I've seen say people clashed to stay in the

EU. I believe we have developed to remain in order to defend

investment, defend jobs and workers' rights. He never quite learned the

script. Sources close to him say he had a different message, but 11

other members of his senior team have quit. We need a leader who can

help us be a more effective opposition, as well as look like a

government in waiting. For all his qualities, I don't think the leader

is Jeremy. I felt Jeremy was the best person to be leading the Labour

Party in developing the answer is the country is now developing L --

demanding. I think the Labour Party needs to be in government. I don't

think it can be delivered as Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour

Party. I don't think Jeremy is in a position we need to provide voters

and the country. Tom Watson had to pack up his sleeping bag and tent

and return from Glastonbury while that was going on. Saddened by what

is happening, he said, seeing Mr Corbyn in a corner. Mr Watson

matters because he was also elected by the party members. Hostility

towards Mr Corbyn among MPs at Westminster isn't new. Many of those

who resigned today tried to make it work, but had doubts about his

ability. But the make it work the gate has decided it doesn't work and

it cannot work. The only option now is for him to go. But his friends

and supporters believe he has the overwhelming support of the party's

members, far away from here, right around the country. For months, some

of the Labour MPs have been shaking their heads in disbelief and Mr

Corbyn's circle. But there is a new awkwardness tonight, even though his

close friends still swear they are loyal. I will never stand for

leadership. If Jeremy has to go for election again, I will support his

campaign. Along with the unions, more of Mr Corbyn's supporters

rallied tonight. I believe he has the support of the membership. It is

likely he will continue as leader of the party. MPs will try to vote Mr

Corbyn out this week, but the test may be of his supporters in the

party, not in parliament, still turn out in enough numbers to keep him in

a job. In the wake of David Cameron's

resignation the Conservatives are preparing for a leadership

contest with both the Home Secretary Theresa May and the leave campaigner

Boris Johnson reported tonight to be Whoever takes over will have

the immediate challenge of negotiating the terms

of a new relationship with the EU. Our Political Correspondent

Alex Forsyth reports. Now Westminster's grappling

with the consequences And amid the political turmoil,

the key questions being asked - what will be UK look

like outside the EU. There'd be tough choices,

the Foreign Secretary said, claiming leaving the EU's single

market, as Leave campaigners But staying in means

compromising on immigration. The problem is, that the Leave

campaigners made contradictory We will not be able to negotiate

control of migration from the European Union

and at the same time, And what of other pledges

made in this campaign? Will the ?350 million,

the disputed amount it was claimed to be sent to Brussels,

be spent on the NHS? What we actually said was a good

amount of it will go to the NHS and that is essentially down

to the government, but I believe that is what was pledged,

and that is what should happen. There was talk about it

going to the NHS, but there was other bits of pieces

like agriculture and stuff, It was never total,

but it is a commitment. Not a commitment made

by the government though, and it's not yet known who will be

in charge here when such details On resigning, the Prime Minister

said it was for his successor to start the formal

process of leaving the EU The government didn't want a Brexit,

but the country has spoken. So far though, no one is offering

any clarity about the next steps. Those so prominent

during this campaign, No appearance yet

from the Chancellor. His first statement expected

tomorrow. Others, conscious of Tory

leadership contests coming. Mr Johnson, any messages

of reassurance for the country? Boris Johnson met allies

at his home today. It is thought he'll say

he'll stand within days. And the Home Secretary too,

thought to be taking soundings before announcing

her bid for Number Ten. With all this in the background,

some Leavers trying to reassure, saying civil servants are talking,

but the process cannot be rushed. The next Prime Minister will need

to engage broadly across both sides of this debate, both within

the Conservative Party and beyond. We have a clear result

from the referendum, but we also have many

people who voted Remain. And we need to reassure them

that the United Kingdom can look forward to huge opportunities

outside the European Union. This decision has divided opinion,

whilst some despair, And away from the turbulence

here, life goes on. But for now, at least,

with more uncertainty. Laura Kuenssberg is in

Westminster tonight. Where does this series of

resignations end? We expect more resignations from junior members of

the Shadow Cabinet. It has both political parties in a spin. But in

the last half an hour, Jeremy Corbyn has issued a very defiant statement

saying, he regrets there have been resignations from his top team, but

basically challenges those MPs inside his party who want him out.

And if they really want to remove him, they will have to have a proper

leadership contest and he insists he will be a candidate in the contest.

He reminds them he has a mandate from the Labour Party membership and

his team and those close to him believe they still have the

overwhelming backing of those members away from Westminster, those

members who make a final decision in a leadership contest who are right

around the country. When you talk to MPs who want him out, they detect

some of that support is softening, but they know they would have a very

big job on their hands to force Mr Corbyn out if they end up in a

leadership contest. But he faces a vote of no contest this week. I am

told there are candidates who are ready to take him on. But the

fundamental problem they have is the fact he was democratically elected I

very enthusiastic supporters. He grew the Labour Party membership in

the heady days of the campaign last summer. Tonight he is in a stand-off

with the Parliamentary party here and the Labour Party membership

around the country. But the Labour Party seems to be in chaos as far as

it's a leadership is concerned. A very unhappy time for them with no

clear exit strategy. He mentioned the Conservatives being in a spin

also, but a different kind of spin? They are not trying to unseat a

leader because David Cameron has said he is off and will be gone by

the autumn. They are trying to find somebody to be a candidate, not just

to lead the party but who would be immediately be Prime Minister. We

know now that Theresa May, the Home Secretary is talking to MPs and is

likely to launch her leadership it in the next couple of days. We know

Boris Johnson is almost inevitably, going to put his hat in the ring

this week. Crucially, with Michael Gove who had been pressured I some

of his colleagues to stand, co-chairing his campaign to become

the leader, rather than standing himself. We are told Boris Johnson

will try to pick himself as a unity candidate. He will be co-chaired by

Ben Wallace from Northern Ireland part of the remaining camp. Some

might say it is rich for Boris Johnson who fought a bruising

campaign for Brexit as a unity candidate. But the party has a big

job on its hands to come together. David Cameron will be on his feet in

the Commons tomorrow, trying to begin to explain how the much more

complicated long-term process of us leaving the EU, will really work.

Laura, thank you. How is Burling going to react to do

with the timing is up written leaving the European Union. Angela

Merkel said Baba Dexit process should not be immediate, she should

not press for immediate withdrawal. She said it should be weeks or even

months of formal notification. Formal notification sets the clock

ticking under the treaties and gives the UK two years to untangle itself

from the EU and work-out the new trade relationship. There had been

huge pressure from elsewhere in Europe, particularly from Brussels

to give that formal notification as soon as Tuesday, when David Cameron

goes to an awkward summit with other EU leaders. But Germany's voice is

more influential than ever. She wants to get Britain out as soon as

practically possible, while ensuring German trade interests, but she

wants to safeguard the future of the EU. She has invited the French

president and show unity after the referendum. The French president

said these big powers need to take the initiative. He wants to push

back against creeping Euro scepticism in Europe, but wants to

persuade the voters of Europe, particularly the very Eurosceptic

French, not to push for their own referendum on EU membership. Thank

you. Tomorrow could be the start

of a difficult week Our business editor Simon Jack

is here in the studio. The markets don't like uncertainty

one bit. The markets in Asia have opened, the pound is down another

2%. The markets have got this badly wrong. They had factored in a Remain

win. We sought $2.1 trillion wiped of shared values across the world.

What happened, the UK got off pretty likely. Only down 3% on the stock

market, 4% on sterling on Friday. Because the Bank of England came in

and said they had 250 Ilion dollars worth of cash. The Chancellor, who

some people feel has been missing in action, will say some comforting

words tomorrow morning. But, given the uncertainty, it is very unlikely

we have seen the end of market turmoil, so it will be another busy

day in the city tomorrow morning. Scotland's First Minister,

Nicola Sturgeon, said today she would "exhaust every

possibility" to try and prevent The majority of Scots voted

to remain and the First Minister suggested that the Holyrood

Parliament could withhold Our Scotland Editor,

Sarah Smith, reports. Nicola Sturgeon is here to tell

Scottish voters she knows they didn't vote for Brexit and if she

can find a way to block the process, she will. She claims the Scottish

Parliament could vote against legislation that may be required

before the UK leads the EU. The option of saying we are going to

vote against something the Scotland... Even even if that

blocked Britain leaving Europe? I care about the UK, that is why I am

so upset. But I didn't create these situations. Enjoying a Spanish

paella in Edinburgh, voters are attempting to digests the EU results

and the idea that Scotland could try to block it. I like the sound of

democratic naughtiness, I am for it. I feel it is political opportunities

at this time. The vast majority of MSPs don't want to leave the EU,

they are not sure they have the power to stop it. It is a big claim

from the First Minister and she needs to back it up. The advice we

have received is this isn't possible. Nicola Sturgeon has

promised to do all she can to try to keep Scotland inside the EU. She may

attempt to do that by holding a second referendum on Scottish

independence. Until then, she can try to use the powers of the

Scottish Parliament to frustrate the process of leaving. But can they

really block Brexit? Constitutional experts are not convinced. They

cannot lock Brexit legislation. There is a principle but if

Westminster should get the consent of the Scottish parliament. The

Scottish parliament can refuse, but Westminster has always been able to

override that refusal. Scotland may not have a veto on Brexit, but it

does have options. Polls are showing a boost in support for Scottish

independence. Eight children and two adults have

been injured after a roller coaster carriage at a theme park

near Glasgow derailed and crashed It happened at M's

theme park in Motherwell. Our correspondent Lorna Gordon

reports. The damaged upturned carriages from

a roller-coaster, packed with families. Eyewitnesses said the

tsunami ride derailed shortly after it set off, before falling 30 feet

onto children's close by. All I could see was one of the carriages

hurtling towards the ground on top of one of the other rides, which was

a children's ride. I am not sure if anybody was on it. Once it was

landed, all I could see was people stop, some upside-down. People said

there was silence, followed by screaming. Parents were fearful

their children were among the injured. Everybody was screaming,

kids running back to their parents. As I was going forward to look for

my son, they were running to their parents in disbelief at what they

had seen. Onlookers rushed to free those trapped, and within minutes

they had been joined by emergency services with specialist equipment.

It was distressing, eight of the injured were children. The gondolas

have been seriously damaged. For what ever reason, part or all of

them have detached from the rails, causing it to leave the track. Many

schools in Scotland have broken up for the summer holidays and there

would have been lots of children here when the roller-coaster

derailed. It is not the first time there has been problems with right

here, including with is a roller-coaster. But this is the most

serious accident. The park has been closed, while an investigation is

carried out into what caused the ride to derail.

British officials say Tunisia is much safer than a year ago when 38

tourists were shot dead on a beach in the resort of Sousse. A ceremony

has been held to remember those killed a year ago, 30 of them

Britons. The attack, by so-called Islamic State was the greatest loss

of British people in a terrorist incident since the July bombings.

The buglers lament for the dead of Sousse. Then a minute's silence on

this foreign shore. Where so many Britons were gunned down. Carly Jade

Lovett. Charles Patrick Evans and Joel James Bridges. This was the

moment 12 months ago when a lone gunman brought carnage to the beach.

Angela Evans had to play dead as the attacker stood next to her. Back

home in King 's Lynn, her memories and her grief are still raw. Every

day I think about the poor people... Who never came back. And the people

who were shot. And I think, what have I got to moan about. Just wish

I could reverse everything and work a bit of magic so those people

didn't die. The legacy of the attack is written in the sand. The tourist

industry is still struggling to recover. Bookings in Sousse are down

by a third. Tunisian officials said the fewer the visitors, the greater

the space to claim victory. The authorities are desperate for

Britain to change its travel advice and let tourists return. They say

security has improved. On the beach today, positive indications from the

Foreign Office. I can only say I have been pleased with the

conversations I have had, the work of our ambassador is doing here and

the progress the Tunisians have made. I do hope the review will take

place. But, one year on, the sorrow remains and for those who mourn,

this speech will always be a byword for bloodshed.

Football, and Ireland have been knocked out of Euro 2016.

They were beaten, 2-1, by the hosts France.

It means England will play France if they win their next game

From Nice, our sports editor Dan Roan reports.

Having already provided one of the tournament's big

upset by beating Italy, the task confronting

the Republic of Ireland today was even more daunting.

Star-studded France is our favourite to win Euro 2016, a nation expects.

But it certainly wasn't expecting this.

England's task to ensure one of the Euros most compelling stories

Back now to the referendum and parts of the UK that have been receiving

European Union funding are seeking assurances they won't lose out

Councils in Yorkshire and Cornwall, and the Welsh government,

have asked for guarantees that EU grants will be matched.

Sian Lloyd has been to the South Wales towns

of Pontypridd and Ebbw Vale to gauge reaction.

Taking the plunge in the swimming pool and voters here took the plunge

Its restoration was partly paid for by ?3 million of

European funding, designed to help some of the poorest areas.

In Pontypridd, like many other former

mining communities in south Wales, the majority of people here backed

Brexit and there is a feeling around the pool from people on both sides

of the divide, the politicians now need to get on with it.

I think it will be good for the country. I think it is about time

somebody took over and sort the country out. I voted to remain. I

was disappointed, but just got to get on with it now. If the funding

come from Europe, why can't it come from central government? But there

can be no funding guarantees, according to Leanne Wood, who

campaigned for Britain to remain. It is going to be down to all others to

roll up our sleeves and make sure this country has a future. We have

to have an economic, cultural and so chill future for our children.

Children won't have the same opportunities they would have had a

devoted to remain. But the message didn't travel to this Welsh county.

Blaenau Gwent shared ?4 million of EU funding over 16 years. Enever

veil it has paid for a new college. They wanted in, we wanted out. Two

thirds of the people living here weren't convinced Europe should hold

the purse strings. If we had stayed out of Europe, those funds should be

allocated to Wales anyway. I wanted to remain in Europe, I did. I think

if it is not broke, why change it? You have funding from Europe? It is

only the money we put in. There seems no disagreement that

communities like these need help. Those who campaigned for
