Here's our Political Correspondent, Tom Bateman.

divided party. They want the endgame turmoil and a mass exodus of MPs

from his top turmoil and a mass exodus of MPs

:01:28.:01:49.

Owen Smith failed and Jeremy Corbyn increased his mandate. I want to

:01:50.:01:53.

thank the more than 300,000 supporters who have given me their

:01:54.:01:56.

support and trust in this labour should leader -- Labour leadership

election. I am honoured to have won the majority vote of members,

:02:03.:02:06.

affiliated supporters and registered supporters, who have given me the

:02:07.:02:11.

second mandate in a year to lead our party. This was the victory of the

:02:12.:02:15.

party's huge new membership over the MPs who tried to oust their leader.

:02:16.:02:20.

From a now strengthened Jeremy Corbyn, the call for unity.

:02:21.:02:25.

Elections are passionate and often partisan affairs and things are

:02:26.:02:29.

often sometimes said in the heat of the debate on all sides which we

:02:30.:02:35.

sometimes later come to regret. But always remember in our party, we

:02:36.:02:40.

have much more in common than that which divides us. As far as I'm

:02:41.:02:47.

concerned, let's wipe that slate clean from today and get on with the

:02:48.:02:52.

work that we've got to do as a party, together. Mr Corbyn called

:02:53.:02:59.

for the party to unite in attacking new government policies, in

:03:00.:03:03.

particular calls for more grammar schools. This time next week, we're

:03:04.:03:06.

all going to hit the streets united as a party. I'm calling on Labour

:03:07.:03:09.

Party members all over the country to join us in a national campaign

:03:10.:03:14.

for inclusive education for all, next Saturday. And there was a

:03:15.:03:24.

rallying cry to the membership. Labour is a party brimming full of

:03:25.:03:34.

ideas, of talent, of creativity. And so is this country. Unleashing

:03:35.:03:53.

that potential is the job of all of us. Let us work together for real

:03:54.:04:01.

change in Britain. Thank you very much. The leader's team has said it

:04:02.:04:09.

is prepared to speak to any MP who walked out, offering a cup of tea

:04:10.:04:14.

offensive at the conference. But it may take more than that to win back

:04:15.:04:20.

some of those who want the right to elect Mr Corbyn's top team. In the

:04:21.:04:25.

end understanding comes about through understanding, solidarity.

:04:26.:04:29.

When you hear this talk about the selection of good, hard-working,

:04:30.:04:34.

popular local Labour MPs, I think that is completely

:04:35.:04:36.

counter-productive. So can this party now reunite? That will be a

:04:37.:04:38.

matter of discussion for the delegates in Liverpool. I think the

:04:39.:04:41.

over 500,000 members, anything is possible really. I think the MPs

:04:42.:04:43.

just need to listen to the membership and take note and fight

:04:44.:04:46.

against the Tories. We were talking on the train on the way over from

:04:47.:04:49.

Bradford about what Labour Party values are and one of them is

:04:50.:04:51.

decency and I don't think you could find a more decent person anywhere.

:04:52.:04:54.

The parliamentary Labour Party must get behind him now. Bringing

:04:55.:04:56.

together his MPs with an increasingly left-wing membership...

:04:57.:05:00.

Live now to our Assistant Political Editor, Norman Smith, in Liverpool.

:05:01.:05:03.

Presumably now it is a massive rebuke for those rebellious MPs? I

:05:04.:05:11.

think what we've learned today is that Jeremy Corbyn is now

:05:12.:05:14.

politically bombproof until the next election. There is no realistic

:05:15.:05:18.

prospect of his critics being able to grow by him out. He won with a

:05:19.:05:23.

bigger mandate in every section of the party, amongst ordinary party

:05:24.:05:28.

members, trade unionists, registered supporters... He has increased the

:05:29.:05:33.

size of the party again and got 40,000 new volunteers. He thwarted

:05:34.:05:37.

efforts to keep him off the ballot paper, to stampede him into quitting

:05:38.:05:42.

with frontbenchers resigning. He is here to stay and will lead Labour

:05:43.:05:45.

into the next general election commission or of a political

:05:46.:05:51.

earthquake. But can he unite this party? They're the jury is still

:05:52.:05:55.

out. It does although we had the rhetorical pleas from Mr Corbyn,

:05:56.:05:59.

we've yet to see any bridges being built with his MPs and in particular

:06:00.:06:04.

this idea of allowing them to elect the Shadow Cabinet, which many view

:06:05.:06:08.

as a litmus test of his willingness to reach out. Those close to Mr

:06:09.:06:12.

Corbyn described that idea as a distraction. In other words, it's

:06:13.:06:15.

not going to happen and is probably going to be booted into the long

:06:16.:06:20.

grass, which means two things probably carry on, Jeremy Corbyn

:06:21.:06:24.

carries on and the feuding with his Parliamentary party carries on.

:06:25.:06:27.

Thanks very much. Government forces in Syria have

:06:28.:06:30.

carried out more air strikes on rebel-held areas

:06:31.:06:33.

of the city of Aleppo. The United Nations says nearly

:06:34.:06:35.

2 million people are now without drinking water,

:06:36.:06:37.

after shelling prevented repairs Hospitals are reported to be

:06:38.:06:39.

overwhelmed and aid workers say the city's facing the worst

humanitarian crisis in five In America, four women and a man

:06:46.:06:47.

have been shot dead at a shopping centre in the town of Burlington

:06:48.:06:53.

in Washington State. A suspected gunman

:06:54.:06:55.

is still at large. Police have released a picture

:06:56.:06:57.

of a man armed with a rifle. The motive for the attack

:06:58.:07:00.

is not yet known. Here, police are investigating

:07:01.:07:06.

claims that hackers have stolen thousands of photos belonging

:07:07.:07:08.

to Pippa Middleton, the sister of the Duchess

:07:09.:07:10.

of Cambridge. They are said to include

:07:11.:07:12.

pictures of Prince George Our correspondent,

:07:13.:07:14.

Nick Higham, is here. Well, according to the sun, an

:07:15.:07:26.

anonymous seller has been contacting news organisations offering for sale

:07:27.:07:30.

3000 pictures which have been hacked from Pippa Middleton's iCloud

:07:31.:07:36.

account. They reportedly include pictures of Ms Middleton at a

:07:37.:07:41.

fitting for a wedding dress, naked pictures of her fiance, James

:07:42.:07:48.

Matthews, and pictures of her sister Kate and their children. Very

:07:49.:07:52.

unlikely anyone in this country is going to accept this offer, it would

:07:53.:07:56.

be a clear invasion of privacy. But they might sell them abroad and

:07:57.:08:01.

publish there. Not the first time that celebrities's iCloud accounts

:08:02.:08:06.

have been hacked. You may recall the actress Jennifer Lawrence, from the

:08:07.:08:11.

Hunger Games, explicit pictures of her circulating on the Internet and

she condemned that. No comment as yet from Willie mon Kate, who are en

:08:20.:08:21.

Thanks very much. Now, let's have a look

:08:22.:08:24.

at what's been happening With the details, here's Mike

Bushell at the BBC Sport Centre. Manchester United captain

:08:27.:08:30.

Wayne Rooney was dropped to the bench for today's early

:08:31.:08:32.

kick-off against Rooney's form has been called

:08:33.:08:36.

into question and manager Jose Mourinho said his place

:08:37.:08:41.

in the starting line-up So, Mourinho made eight changes

:08:42.:08:43.

to the side that beat Northampton In his bid to avoid a third straight

:08:44.:08:52.

defeat in the league. So far so good for United. Captain for the day

:08:53.:08:56.

Chris Smalling put United 1-0 up from a corner after a cracking ball

:08:57.:09:04.

from Daley Blind. Juan Mata then started and finished Taylor of Lee

:09:05.:09:06.

moved to make it 2-0. Elsewhere this afternoon,

leaders Manchester City are at Swansea for the second time

:09:10.:09:11.

in a week, this time The other stand-out game

:09:12.:09:14.

is at the Emirates, The Gunners' recent record

:09:15.:09:19.

against their London But Arsene Wenger says now is a good

:09:20.:09:23.

time for that to change. It is a good era but a bit more

:09:24.:09:38.

balanced against. We feel we are in good form and able to change what we

:09:39.:09:45.

call the inconvenient facts of recent years. It is now 3-0 to

:09:46.:09:49.

Manchester United at Old Trafford against Leicester, Marcus Rashford

:09:50.:09:50.

with the third goal. The trainer and uncle of British

world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury says he will not,

and should not, be stripped of his belts, after postponing his rematch

with Wladimir Klitschko Peter Fury says a statement

:10:06.:10:07.

on the fighter's health would be coming soon,

:10:08.:10:11.

after his promoters declared he was "medically unfit"

:10:12.:10:15.

for the contest, at BBC boxing pundit Steve Bunce says

:10:16.:10:17.

he fears Fury may lose his belts. A great shame and I can see him

:10:18.:10:24.

being stripped because he won it in November and if he is injured, they

:10:25.:10:29.

could say OK, you become the recess champion, let Wladimir fight him in

:10:30.:10:39.

May. I can't see both of the sanctioning bodies not wanting to

:10:40.:10:40.

nick a feud with this year. For Great Britain, cycling

:10:41.:10:45.

on the track and the road has been hugely successful,

in both the Olympic But there's another discipline

:10:48.:10:49.

that British riders are pretty good at,

:10:50.:10:52.

and that's yet to become an Olympic sport - I'm talking

:10:53.:10:57.

downhill mountain biking. Dan Atherton is one of three

:10:58.:11:00.

siblings who can boast OJ Borg went to see him

and his challenging creation! When you find yourself Nehra mode

:11:03.:11:14.

Welsh mountainside for an event that calls itself the hardest in the

:11:15.:11:18.

world, you know you're about to witness something epic! This is the

:11:19.:11:22.

third running of the Red Bull Hardline. Riders approach with a

:11:23.:11:27.

heady mix of excitement and genuine apprehension. A bit of fear and

:11:28.:11:34.

nervousness is good sometimes. Hardline is the twisted fantasy of

:11:35.:11:38.

one of the UK's best riders, Dan Atherton. Why build a course so

:11:39.:11:43.

tough? I ask myself that every morning! This course is so gnarly.

:11:44.:11:52.

Last year over 50% who started managed to injure themselves in some

:11:53.:11:56.

way. The man who won last year had this crash on the way to winning the

:11:57.:12:00.

event. So why put their bodies on the line? Although it might look

:12:01.:12:06.

pretty terrifying as a spectator, it's amazing fun and something quite

:12:07.:12:10.

unique. If you lose focus going into it, you're toast. The person who

:12:11.:12:15.

built the course, Dan Atherton, could only finish 13th. So

individual and a lot of people come out to watch, it's so awesome to

win, the hardest downhill race in the world. If you fancy finding out

more, you can see it on the get inspired website. Personally, I'm

:12:35.:12:38.

going to start with something just a little smaller. Now, how do I get
