Jeremy Corbyn says he takes his share of the responsibility

:00:00.:00:09.

for the by-election defeat at Copeland.

:00:10.:00:14.

What other solutions? You will get a chance to hear it. Do you have

:00:15.:00:19.

solutions? After a rough week, he admitted

:00:20.:00:21.

Labour hadn't done enough to rebuild voter trust,

:00:22.:00:24.

and had this message I am carrying on as leader

:00:25.:00:26.

because I am determined that we will deliver social justice

:00:27.:00:29.

in this country. Also coming up on the programme:

:00:30.:00:34.

Sir Mo Farah insists he's a "clean athlete who's never broken

:00:35.:00:37.

the rules" after new allegations involving his coach,

:00:38.:00:40.

Alberto Salazar. After an early scare,

:00:41.:00:45.

England fight back against Italy to win their Six Nations

:00:46.:00:47.

clash at Twickenham. And I live in Hollywood for

:00:48.:00:57.

tonight's Oscars, which could well be a record breaking, history making

:00:58.:00:59.

event. The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn,

:01:00.:01:16.

has said he accepts part of the responsibility

:01:17.:01:21.

for the by-election loss of the Copeland constituency

:01:22.:01:23.

to the Conservatives, telling the Scottish Labour

:01:24.:01:26.

conference it showed the scale Mr Corbyn said he'll

:01:27.:01:28.

remain as leader and that Critics, though, say the defeat

:01:29.:01:37.

shows Labour is failing Our political correspondent,

:01:38.:01:40.

Carole Walker, reports. Mr Corbyn, do you still think you're

:01:41.:01:44.

the man to rebuild Labour? We're doing great here,

:01:45.:01:47.

thank you very much. I'm looking forward

:01:48.:01:49.

to my speech today. Jeremy Corbyn insists

:01:50.:01:50.

he won't give up the struggle. Do you have a solution

:01:51.:01:52.

to Labour's problems? We are campaigning for

:01:53.:01:54.

a just and fair society. He said his party's defeat

:01:55.:01:57.

at the hands of the Conservatives in Copeland underlined the scale

:01:58.:01:59.

of the task ahead and he urged his party to stand together

:02:00.:02:06.

to turn back the Tory tide. The result in Copeland

:02:07.:02:09.

was deeply disappointing, and of course, I take my share

:02:10.:02:13.

of responsibility for it. We have not done enough yet

:02:14.:02:16.

to rebuild trust with the people who have been ripped off and sold

:02:17.:02:19.

out for decades and do not always But now is not the time to retreat,

:02:20.:02:23.

to run away or to give up. Labour in Scotland is already

:02:24.:02:31.

battling to recover after losing all but one of its MPs

:02:32.:02:35.

at the last election. The party's Scottish leader echoed

:02:36.:02:39.

Mr Corbyn's call for unity but had an ominous warning on the problems

:02:40.:02:41.

they must confront. In many respects what is happening

:02:42.:02:47.

in the north-east of England is what happened

:02:48.:02:49.

to the Scottish Labour We were the canary down

:02:50.:02:51.

the mine so to speak, in terms of losing the faith

:02:52.:02:55.

of working-class communities Jeremy Corbyn insists he has a huge

:02:56.:02:58.

mandate from his party but Labour's former deputy leader says his task

:02:59.:03:11.

is to get a mandate from the people You cannot be saying

:03:12.:03:14.

the public have got it wrong, you cannot be saying

:03:15.:03:17.

MPs have got it wrong. The buck stops with you,

:03:18.:03:20.

and you have to take responsibility for making it right,

:03:21.:03:23.

not getting it wrong and then blaming other people,

:03:24.:03:25.

whether it is the media There is little appetite

:03:26.:03:27.

within the party for another leadership contest,

:03:28.:03:30.

despite all the problems. He was elected democratically,

:03:31.:03:35.

you need to get behind your leader. He has got a mission to make Labour

:03:36.:03:38.

electable in the United Kingdom. Our next test is the Scottish local

:03:39.:03:41.

government elections. I would have liked him to have

:03:42.:03:44.

indicated more how we are to help Jeremy Corbyn says he's

:03:45.:03:47.

putting all his energy His critics fear that

:03:48.:03:51.

may not be enough. So, there will be no change of

leadership, and we are told no change of direction either. They

ever to reconnect with Labour's voters will focus on stepping up

:04:09.:04:13.

those campaigns on the NHS, jobs, tackling inequality. But none of

:04:14.:04:17.

that word in Copeland and Labour is now up against the Conservative

:04:18.:04:21.

Party with messages and policies designed to appeal to many of

:04:22.:04:23.

Labour's core supporters. Britain's four-time Olympic champion

:04:24.:04:28.

Sir Mo Farah has insisted he is a "clean athlete who has never

:04:29.:04:31.

broken the rules" after a leaked report allegedly suggested

:04:32.:04:34.

that his coach may have broken rules against boosting

:04:35.:04:36.

athletes' performance. Alberto Salazar has been under

:04:37.:04:40.

investigation since allegations about drugs use at his American

:04:41.:04:43.

training base were made by the BBC's Mark Daly had that story

:04:44.:04:46.

and he reports now. COMMENTATOR: Can there be a one-two

:04:47.:04:55.

for the Salazar group? It looks like it as Mo Farah takes

:04:56.:04:57.

gold for Great Britain. He's the coach and mastermind behind

:04:58.:05:01.

Britain's Sir Mo Farah and his four But Alberto Salazar and his

:05:02.:05:04.

Nike Oregon Project has been under investigation by the US

:05:05.:05:15.

Anti-Doping Agency, or Usada, since a BBC Panorama programme

:05:16.:05:17.

in 2015 revealed claims of doping High-profile US athletes

:05:18.:05:19.

Kara Goucher and her husband Adam made a series of allegations

:05:20.:05:28.

against their former coach. He's sort of a

:05:29.:05:30.

win-at-all-costs person. Today, the first glimpse

:05:31.:05:33.

of Usada's findings, an interim report by the agency,

:05:34.:05:39.

has been leaked by the Russian hacking group Fancy Bears and passed

:05:40.:05:43.

to the Sunday Times. The report alleges Salazar used

:05:44.:05:48.

banned or unethical methods to boost performance,

:05:49.:05:52.

including infusions of supplements over the legal limit of 50

:05:53.:05:55.

millilitres, untested and potentially unlawful medical

:05:56.:05:57.

procedures and medications. And the report suggests that Farah's

:05:58.:06:12.

alleged use of an infusion in 2014 Usada said it could confirm that it

:06:13.:06:15.

has prepared a report in response to a subpoena from a state medical

:06:16.:06:19.

licensing body, regarding care given by a physician to athletes

:06:20.:06:22.

associated with the Nike Oregon Usada continues to investigate

:06:23.:06:24.

but serious questions now for UK Athletics,

:06:25.:06:30.

who were, according to this leaked report, warned about Salazar

:06:31.:06:32.

and his methods by one of their own doctors

:06:33.:06:35.

as far back as 2011. Salazar maintains his athletes'

:06:36.:06:44.

use of medications has always fully complied

:06:45.:06:46.

with the World Anti-Doping Code, and Earlier today, Sir Mo Farah

:06:47.:06:48.

released a statement saying, "It's deeply frustrating that I'm

:06:49.:07:10.

having to make an announcement I am a clean athlete who has

:07:11.:07:12.

never broken the rules in regards to substances,

:07:13.:07:16.

methods or dosages." He said it was clear

:07:17.:07:18.

from the coverage he had done nothing wrong and that if Usada had

:07:19.:07:20.

evidence of wrongdoing, But questions will persist over

:07:21.:07:23.

Farah's continuing loyalty to a controversial coach the doping

:07:24.:07:26.

authorities seem so The new independent reviewer

:07:27.:07:28.

of terrorism laws has warned that Britain faces a level of threat not

:07:29.:07:32.

seen since the IRA Max Hill told the Sunday Telegraph

:07:33.:07:35.

that plots by Islamist extremists to attack UK cities

:07:36.:07:38.

were "an enormous risk." The Home Secretary said she agreed

:07:39.:07:40.

with the threat assessment. Here's our security

:07:41.:07:44.

correspondent, Frank Gardner. Far from Britain's shores, the

:07:45.:07:55.

battle for morsel intensifies, but as Iraqi forces close in on the

:07:56.:07:59.

so-called Islamic State, so the risk increases that British and other

:08:00.:08:03.

jihadists will try to come back to Europe, bent on revenge. The new

:08:04.:08:09.

terror watchdog has warned of the intensity of current plots. The sad

:08:10.:08:13.

fact is that the threat in this country, represented by what we now

:08:14.:08:17.

know as so-called Islamic State is high. It is continuing, and it is

:08:18.:08:26.

not going to abate. Max Hill says the terror threat today is at least

:08:27.:08:30.

as great as it was to London during the IRA bombing campaign in the

:08:31.:08:36.

1970s. Yet the situation is not the same. The UK terror threat has

:08:37.:08:41.

prompted a major rethink of how Britain's cities are protected. The

:08:42.:08:46.

police have been outgunned and surveillance increased. But the

:08:47.:08:49.

threat from IS today differs from that of the IRA in several ways. The

:08:50.:08:54.

jihadists give no warning and aim for a maximum civilian casualties.

:08:55.:09:00.

And they're prepared to take their own lives. The nature of the threat

:09:01.:09:03.

is very different. If we look back to the 1970s and the IRA, it is a

:09:04.:09:08.

threat that was expressing itself frequently with bombs and bomb

:09:09.:09:13.

scares. Nowadays the public have not really seen a terror plot of any

:09:14.:09:17.

grand scale be disruptive for some time. From a public perspective, the

:09:18.:09:23.

threat look smaller, but from the security agencies' perspective, the

:09:24.:09:28.

threat is high. Today much of the fight against terrorism is waged

:09:29.:09:33.

online, out of public view. Terrorists use the Internet to

:09:34.:09:37.

spread propaganda and communicate. The government tries to intercept

:09:38.:09:42.

messages to stop the next attack. Visible security, like these police

:09:43.:09:46.

officers, is one small part of the complex government machine trying to

:09:47.:09:51.

make Britain a hard target for terrorists.

:09:52.:09:53.

Tributes have come in from across the film and TV world

:09:54.:09:56.

for the American actor Bill Paxton, who has died at the age of 61.

:09:57.:09:59.

He was best known for his role in the science fiction classic

:10:00.:10:02.

Aliens, and starred in Hollywood blockbusters such as Apollo 13,

:10:03.:10:05.

He died after complications following an operation.

:10:06.:10:11.

With all the sport, here's Katherine Downes

:10:12.:10:13.

England are top of the Six Nations table after a bonus point win over

:10:14.:10:22.

Italy at Twickenham but the 36-15 scoreline doesn't

:10:23.:10:24.

England started poorly and Italy led at half-time but England

:10:25.:10:32.

came back with five tries in the second half.

:10:33.:10:34.

Our sports correspondent Joe Wilson was watching.

:10:35.:10:38.

He is at Twickenham this evening. We certainly saw some unusual things

:10:39.:10:46.

in this match. At one stage in the first half, the game actually

:10:47.:10:50.

stopped as some of England's players were talking to the referee, trying

:10:51.:10:53.

to work out what was going on. It was complicated, but Italy is

:10:54.:10:59.

essentially interpreted the rules in certain ways. Their players were all

:11:00.:11:03.

standing offside at certain points. The England coach was furious about

:11:04.:11:08.

the way the game was refereed. The result was Italy frustrated England.

:11:09.:11:14.

At half-time, Italy led the match 10-5, their first try coming after a

:11:15.:11:18.

missed penalty bounced off the posts. It turned into a try with

:11:19.:11:22.

some quick thinking. Italy missed three penalties in the first half

:11:23.:11:26.

and could have been in a stronger position. England would have wanted

:11:27.:11:28.

at least a bonus point by scoring four tries. That

:11:29.:11:47.

did not come until the 70th minute with Jack Nowell going over. From

:11:48.:11:50.

that point on, England overwhelmed Italy, scoring more tries and going

:11:51.:11:52.

past 30 points. In the build-up to this game, so much talked about

:11:53.:11:54.

whether Italy deserve their place in the Six Nations. England lead

:11:55.:11:57.

Twickenham with a bonus point, but Italy leave the ground having made

:11:58.:11:58.

their point. Quite a match.

:11:59.:12:02.

England and Ireland are tied at the top of the Women's Six Nations

:12:03.:12:05.

table after Ireland narrowly beat France 13 points to 10.

:12:06.:12:07.

It's the first cup final of the season at Wembley.

:12:08.:12:09.

Manchester United and Southampton have about half an hour left

:12:10.:12:12.

to decide who is going to win the EFL Cup.

:12:13.:12:16.

In the Premier League, Spurs have jumped up into second

:12:17.:12:24.

Harry Kane was the star, scoring his third hat-trick in nine

:12:25.:12:28.

games and then setting up Delle Alli for Tottenham's fourth.

:12:29.:12:31.

London 2012 silver medallist Michael Jamieson has

:12:32.:12:33.

His performance in the 200m breaststroke was Britain's best

:12:34.:12:41.

Jamieson's revealed he struggled with depression

:12:42.:12:44.

following a punishing training regime, and after a series

:12:45.:12:47.

of injuries has decided to retire at the age of 28.

:12:48.:12:55.

The glamour of Hollywood will turn out in the next few hours

:12:56.:13:00.

The film La La Land is the hot favourite for Oscar glory

:13:01.:13:04.

British hopefuls include Andrew Garfield and Naomie Harris.

:13:05.:13:07.

Our arts editor, Will Gompertz, is in LA now.

:13:08.:13:13.

I am. You can see the finishing touches being applied for tonight's

:13:14.:13:19.

Oscars. I think we will see history made. After last year's controversy,

:13:20.:13:26.

it is just possible that all four of the acting categories will go to

:13:27.:13:31.

non-white performers. Not likely, but possible. If Barry Jenkins wins

:13:32.:13:35.

the best director award for Moonlight, he will be the first

:13:36.:13:39.

black director to win. If the Lala land director wins, he will be the

:13:40.:13:45.

youngest director. That is before we get to the politically charged

:13:46.:13:49.

speeches. I think we're in for an interesting night.

:13:50.:13:51.

There is more than one side to the Oscars.

:13:52.:13:53.

Yes, there is the frivolous showbizzy side of the things,

:13:54.:13:55.

the over-the-top-ness of the red carpet and

:13:56.:13:57.

the million-dollar after-party with its lavish spread of food.

:13:58.:13:59.

What is the most extraordinary request you have ever had

:14:00.:14:02.

Well, one of our guests, he loved the baked potato

:14:03.:14:07.

with caviar so much, he came into the kitchen and said,

:14:08.:14:10.

I showed him the tin, he took his sppon and ate

:14:11.:14:14.

It might be the stars that shine on Oscar night,

:14:15.:14:23.

but the craft categories reveal a different side to the business.

:14:24.:14:26.

Filmmaking is at heart a cottage industry,

:14:27.:14:30.

as demonstrated by these two brothers from London who are up

:14:31.:14:33.

against each other in the visual effects

:14:34.:14:35.

There are four brothers that do the special effects, and my

:14:36.:14:38.

I have got two sons that work for me and two

:14:39.:14:43.

I have got three daughters that work for me and my son as

:14:44.:14:48.

We've got the next generation and probably the generation

:14:49.:14:52.

So you're just going to have Oscars for decades, are you?

:14:53.:14:58.

Great films, award-winning films, should tell stories that matter,

:14:59.:15:09.

I am very encouraged, because I do think the diversity

:15:10.:15:13.

of the lineup this year reflects the industry I work

:15:14.:15:16.

The biggest thing for me is people back home

:15:17.:15:20.

see the the stuff happening to Moonlight,

:15:21.:15:21.

and they think that things are

:15:22.:15:23.

possible, that the ceiling on what a kid who grew

:15:24.:15:26.

up where I grew up, that the ceiling is raising.

:15:27.:15:28.

What are you doing in bed with that woman?

:15:29.:15:33.

This year's Oscars feel a little different, more

:15:34.:15:39.

politically charged, more diverse, more

:15:40.:15:44.

connected, but then, they will always be in La La Land.

:15:45.:15:46.
