:00:00. > :00:08.Tonight at ten, resignations and recriminations -

:00:09. > :00:12.the turbulent aftermath of Labour's reshuffle.

:00:13. > :00:14.It was Jeremy Corbyn's first as Labour leader -

:00:15. > :00:19.prompting a very public row among Labour MPs.

:00:20. > :00:21.Three party spokesmen resigned in protest,

:00:22. > :00:26.unhappy with the leader's handling and citing policy differences.

:00:27. > :00:29.It has been completely chaotic, and I think it also shows

:00:30. > :00:35.how Jeremy and his office don't understand how Parliament works.

:00:36. > :00:38.What we wanted was to ensure that we had a coherent

:00:39. > :00:44.representation of the party's policies both in the Shadow Cabinet

:00:45. > :00:51.and right the way across that party, and that's what we are achieving.

:00:52. > :00:53.We'll have details of Labour's changes

:00:54. > :00:55.and the divided opinion within the parliamentary party.

:00:56. > :00:57.Also tonight, in North Korea, a spirited announcement

:00:58. > :01:03.but the international community is not applauding.

:01:04. > :01:05.After the recent floods, the Environment Agency

:01:06. > :01:10.defends its handling of the crisis during the storms.

:01:11. > :01:12.In Germany, police are criticised for failing to prevent

:01:13. > :01:20.a wave of attacks on women on New Year's Eve in Cologne.

:01:21. > :01:23.And the dynamic French composer and conductor Pierre Boulez

:01:24. > :01:31.Later on BBC London, ?500,000 worth of jewellery

:01:32. > :01:35.is stolen by a gang armed with machetes and axes in Mayfair.

:01:36. > :01:36.Half-price travel for early-bird commuters,

:01:37. > :01:57.the latest fare-busting proposal for the capital.

:01:58. > :02:02.Jeremy Corbyn's first reshuffle as Labour leader has prompted

:02:03. > :02:06.public recriminations and the resignations of three spokesmen,

:02:07. > :02:09.angry about way the reshuffle was handled.

:02:10. > :02:13.Jonathan Reynolds, Stephen Doughty and Kevan Jones also expressed

:02:14. > :02:16.disagreement on policy especially defence and nuclear issues.

:02:17. > :02:18.But Mr Corbyn's supporters have defended

:02:19. > :02:24.accusing his critics of belonging to a right-wing clique.

:02:25. > :02:26.For the latest, let's join our political editor,

:02:27. > :02:41.Huw, this whole process has not just been chaotic but also slow. It began

:02:42. > :02:44.48 very long hours ago, and although I am told they are imminent, we are

:02:45. > :02:49.waiting for the last couple of names to complete the list. It has also

:02:50. > :02:51.been very personal and today turned very bitter. The path to get here

:02:52. > :02:53.has been anything but smooth. He is meant to be the boss,

:02:54. > :02:57.but Jeremy Corbyn's first reshuffle has been a painful journey

:02:58. > :02:59.for his party. The most angst in recent days

:03:00. > :03:03.over the Shadow Foreign Secretary. Mr Corbyn wanted to move

:03:04. > :03:06.Hilary Benn, but he stayed put, it was claimed with a promise

:03:07. > :03:09.to be less critical, but does he think

:03:10. > :03:11.anything has changed? I'm going to be carrying

:03:12. > :03:16.on doing my job exactly as before, which is speaking for

:03:17. > :03:18.Labour on foreign policy. Not quite the same as from

:03:19. > :03:21.the Shadow Chancellor, Mr Corbyn's closest ally,

:03:22. > :03:24.who spent the day defending the changes -

:03:25. > :03:27.they do take some explaining. None of us were arguing,

:03:28. > :03:30.publicly or privately, We were saying, basically,

:03:31. > :03:35.what we wanted was to ensure that we had a coherent

:03:36. > :03:39.representation of the party's policies both in Shadow Cabinet

:03:40. > :03:50.and right the way across the party. The last 24 hours have been

:03:51. > :03:53.a damaging pantomime. While Jeremy Corbyn's been

:03:54. > :03:55.bunkered up in his office he hasn't always seemed

:03:56. > :03:57.in charge of events, and, simply, he didn't

:03:58. > :03:59.have the clout to make all of the changes

:04:00. > :04:02.he wanted to. But the Labour leader was able

:04:03. > :04:04.to recast his Shadow Cabinet more in line

:04:05. > :04:06.with his own priorities. Despite two long days

:04:07. > :04:10.and nights of wrangling, Mr Corbyn did move nuclear

:04:11. > :04:13.weapons supporting Maria Eagle from defence to

:04:14. > :04:15.take charge of culture. I'm looking forward to getting

:04:16. > :04:18.on with my new job, and no doubt I will talk to you again

:04:19. > :04:21.in that capacity in due course. Emily Thornberry,

:04:22. > :04:23.who is anti-Trident, a politician resigning live

:04:24. > :04:33.on television, the mood in parts of Labour

:04:34. > :04:37.this morning - toxic. I've just written

:04:38. > :04:39.to Jeremy Corbyn I think the things that

:04:40. > :04:47.are being said, that are being briefed at,

:04:48. > :04:49.that I've seen people being briefed at this morning,

:04:50. > :04:51.are simply not true. Undoubtedly, they'll do it

:04:52. > :04:53.about other individuals. Two others announced

:04:54. > :04:56.their departures as well, on radio and even on Facebook,

:04:57. > :04:59.after a frontbencher, because of these comments in

:05:00. > :05:03.the wake of the Paris attacks. No-one forces them to kill

:05:04. > :05:05.innocent people in Paris or Beirut, and unless we are clear about that,

:05:06. > :05:09.we will fail even to be able let alone confront it

:05:10. > :05:14.and ultimately overcome it. but today's chaos will be

:05:15. > :05:21.remembered. Yet for Jeremy Corbyn's

:05:22. > :05:24.many thousands of supporters around the country,

:05:25. > :05:37.this flexing of his muscles After all of that, what are we

:05:38. > :05:43.really left with in terms of the Labour Party and its immediate

:05:44. > :05:47.future? There is a real clash on display of a fundamentalist use,

:05:48. > :05:52.defence and national security, but remember, from day one, there has

:05:53. > :05:55.been a real gap between Jeremy Corbyn's thousands of very

:05:56. > :05:58.enthusiastic supporters around the country and many Labour MPs, who

:05:59. > :06:03.taught from the off that his leadership was a nonstarter. -- who

:06:04. > :06:08.thought. That reachable process has made the gap deeper and wider, and

:06:09. > :06:14.made the tensions even more strained. -- reshuffle. It looks

:06:15. > :06:17.like a party that is coming to terms with itself, not a party that will

:06:18. > :06:20.find it easy to get the public on its side.

:06:21. > :06:23.North Korea is facing the prospect of further international sanctions

:06:24. > :06:24.following claims from the country's regime

:06:25. > :06:27.that it's successfully tested a hydrogen bomb.

:06:28. > :06:30.The UN Security Council has been holding an emergency meeting,

:06:31. > :06:33.and the Americans, while expressing doubts about the claims,

:06:34. > :06:34.warned North Korea against provocative action.

:06:35. > :06:36.The test was detected when an earthquake happened

:06:37. > :06:39.near a nuclear site in the north of the country this morning.

:06:40. > :06:40.Our correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes

:06:41. > :06:46.reports from neighbouring South Korea.

:06:47. > :06:51.At ten o'clock in the morning, North Korean state television

:06:52. > :06:59.made the dramatic announcement as only it can.

:07:00. > :07:03."A successful hydrogen-bomb test has been carried out,"

:07:04. > :07:11.crowds had been marshalled to watch the announcement.

:07:12. > :07:18.they measured a man-made earthquake caused by the explosion.

:07:19. > :07:21.It was not very big, and it remains unclear

:07:22. > :07:24.if this latest test really was a hydrogen device,

:07:25. > :07:30.So what is the difference between a hydrogen bomb

:07:31. > :07:37.Atomic bombs were first dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

:07:38. > :07:40.The blast is created by splitting an atom,

:07:41. > :07:45.releasing the huge amount of energy contained inside.

:07:46. > :07:49.Hydrogen bombs use an atomic bomb to force elements together,

:07:50. > :07:52.creating what is called a fusion reaction.

:07:53. > :07:54.The resulting blast is thousands of times

:07:55. > :07:57.more powerful than an atomic bomb,

:07:58. > :08:01.but hydrogen bombs are much more difficult to make.

:08:02. > :08:04.Hydrogen bombs, or thermonuclear weapons,

:08:05. > :08:06.are very difficult to build, and it's highly unlikely

:08:07. > :08:09.that North Korea has this capability.

:08:10. > :08:11.But the important thing for North

:08:12. > :08:14.Korea is that it sees nuclear weapons capabilities

:08:15. > :08:16.as a deterrent, a deterrent against

:08:17. > :08:22.offensive attack from South Korea and the US.

:08:23. > :08:25.North Korea's soldiers may be good at goose-stepping,

:08:26. > :08:28.but a hydrogen bomb would put this impoverished country

:08:29. > :08:36.The main beneficiary would be its young dictator, Kim Jong-un.

:08:37. > :08:45.nuclear weapons are about one thing - his own survival.

:08:46. > :08:49.Perhaps Kim Jong-un wants to tell his domestic constituents

:08:50. > :08:53.that he is powerful, he is strong, he is in control of his regime

:08:54. > :08:56.that he just took over a few years ago.

:08:57. > :08:58.He also seems to be trying to tell the international community

:08:59. > :09:02.that he is, his country is a nuclear weapons state,

:09:03. > :09:05.and that means his country is a nuclear power.

:09:06. > :09:08.For people living here in Seoul, the idea that North Korea,

:09:09. > :09:10.just 30 miles away to the north of here,

:09:11. > :09:13.may now have a hydrogen bomb is pretty terrifying.

:09:14. > :09:17.But the question remains, what can the world do about it?

:09:18. > :09:20.Sanctions have been tried and have failed.

:09:21. > :09:24.Maybe it is now time for the world to engage with North Korea.

:09:25. > :09:27.But it's very hard to see how any Western leader

:09:28. > :09:35.can engage with a regime that has just set off a nuclear device.

:09:36. > :09:38.In New York, the UN Security Council has met in emergency session

:09:39. > :09:41.to condemn North Korea and to consider what to do next.

:09:42. > :09:46.This act is a profoundly destabilising for regional security

:09:47. > :09:52.international nonproliferation efforts.

:09:53. > :10:02.So far, North Korea has succeeded in defying everyone,

:10:03. > :10:06.including China, in exploding four nuclear devices.

:10:07. > :10:09.But its ambition is to go much further,

:10:10. > :10:13.to put a nuclear weapon on board a missile that can reach America.

:10:14. > :10:19.Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, BBC News, in Seoul.

:10:20. > :10:24.Our North America editor, Jon Sopel, is in Washington for us tonight,

:10:25. > :10:33.and, Jon, a good deal of scepticism?

:10:34. > :10:40.High. The President's spokesman said their initial analysis suggested

:10:41. > :10:43.this was not a hydrogen bomb that had been exploded by North Korea,

:10:44. > :10:47.and therefore America is not changing its assessment of the

:10:48. > :10:50.strategic threat posed by North Korea. There was unequivocal

:10:51. > :10:54.condemnation of what they have done and a call to stop the provocation.

:10:55. > :10:59.John Kerry has said the United States does not and will not accept

:11:00. > :11:03.North Korea as a nuclear armed power, and there is some relief, I

:11:04. > :11:08.think, in America that you have Russia and China in concert

:11:09. > :11:12.condemning the move. Now, as we heard in Rupert's report, the UN

:11:13. > :11:17.Security Council as met and talked about further significant measures

:11:18. > :11:20.because of the gravity of the violation against already existing

:11:21. > :11:25.UN resolutions, so a tougher sanctions package. The conundrum is,

:11:26. > :11:31.what is going to work that has not worked before? To that question,

:11:32. > :11:33.there are no easy answers. All right, Jon, thanks again, Jon Sopel

:11:34. > :11:35.at the White House. The chairman of the Environment

:11:36. > :11:37.Agency, Sir Philip Dilley, says he regrets not coming back

:11:38. > :11:40.earlier from a holiday in the Caribbean when the recent

:11:41. > :11:42.storms caused severe flooding He was giving evidence

:11:43. > :11:46.to a parliamentary committee he had been in contact with his team

:11:47. > :11:50.while he was away. Our home editor, Mark Easton,

:11:51. > :11:53.has more details. The floodwaters may have subsided,

:11:54. > :11:56.but in many parts of northern England, frustration and anger

:11:57. > :11:59.have been left in their wake. As the clear-up continued

:12:00. > :12:04.at this West Yorkshire school today, to protect homes and businesses

:12:05. > :12:11.splashed against the walls of Parliament,

:12:12. > :12:14.as officials from the agency responsible for flood

:12:15. > :12:16.defences arrived I'm Sir Philip Dilley, I'm the

:12:17. > :12:22.chairman of the Environment Agency. A tanned Environment Agency chief,

:12:23. > :12:25.Sir Philip Dilley, was asked if he regretted

:12:26. > :12:28.not returning earlier from his holiday home in Barbados

:12:29. > :12:33.while devastating floods hit the UK. This was a PR disaster

:12:34. > :12:36.for you personally, wasn't it? Yes, as I said, in

:12:37. > :12:39.hindsight, it would have been much better if I'd come back

:12:40. > :12:43.as early as I could, Officials blame exceptional

:12:44. > :12:48.rainfall for flood defences being overwhelmed

:12:49. > :12:52.in Cumbria just after Christmas, but one guesthouse owner

:12:53. > :12:55.who lost her home and business told the committee

:12:56. > :12:58.that too much attention including a local scheme

:12:59. > :13:03.to save freshwater mussels, Please, what is the

:13:04. > :13:08.point of all this? I mean, my sympathies

:13:09. > :13:13.to the mussels, At Prime Minister's Questions,

:13:14. > :13:20.David Cameron was challenged over whether his government

:13:21. > :13:24.has done enough to prevent the floods

:13:25. > :13:26.in northern England. I have the greatest sympathy

:13:27. > :13:28.with anyone that has been flooded, and we have to do what it

:13:29. > :13:31.takes to get people and get to communities back

:13:32. > :13:34.on their feet, and that is why we have but record sums

:13:35. > :13:38.in more quickly to help communities in Cumbria, in Lancashire,

:13:39. > :13:40.and now in Yorkshire, Flood defence scheme after flood

:13:41. > :13:49.defence scheme has been cancelled, postponed

:13:50. > :13:57.or cut. and too many

:13:58. > :14:01.lessons have been ignored. The argument is over

:14:02. > :14:02.whether the Government should focus more on long-term

:14:03. > :14:04.strategic investment, things like the Thames Barrier,

:14:05. > :14:06.rather than what critics say is short-term, reactive

:14:07. > :14:08.spending on flood defences, responding to rising

:14:09. > :14:10.levels of misery. Over the last decade,

:14:11. > :14:14.central government real-terms spending on flood defences rose

:14:15. > :14:19.after the floods of 2007 and 2009, fell when the coalition

:14:20. > :14:21.came to power, rose again after the devastating

:14:22. > :14:25.floods of 2014, and has now fallen back a little,

:14:26. > :14:30.although increases are promised. There is more flooding

:14:31. > :14:33.happening more frequently, and so therefore we need

:14:34. > :14:41.to do more about it. I don't feel you're being

:14:42. > :14:44.dynamic enough about it. If you had asked us that question

:14:45. > :14:47.on the 1st of December, I think the answer would be

:14:48. > :14:49.we are properly funded... Nothing was abnormal up

:14:50. > :14:52.until the 1st of December. Thereafter, the changes that

:14:53. > :14:54.we've experienced are potentially ones

:14:55. > :14:56.that need to adjust it. The bad weather brought

:14:57. > :14:57.more disruption with a 70 tonne landslide

:14:58. > :15:06.blocking the railway line at Hexham. Questions about how

:15:07. > :15:07.Government should respond to the challenge

:15:08. > :15:09.of our changing climate will continue to rain down

:15:10. > :15:11.for years to come. It's exactly a month ago that

:15:12. > :15:17.Storm Desmond caused widespread flooding in Cumbria,

:15:18. > :15:19.affecting thousands of homes. In Carlisle,

:15:20. > :15:22.the floodwaters have receded, but the process of clearing up

:15:23. > :15:37.will take some time. Our North of England correspondent,

:15:38. > :15:40.Danny Savage, has more details. A month ago today,

:15:41. > :15:42.you would have needed a boat to get down Warwick Road

:15:43. > :15:45.and the streets around it. and it's littered with the remains

:15:46. > :15:48.of a Christmas past. So many people have a tale

:15:49. > :15:52.about needing help or offering it. My mum was downstairs

:15:53. > :15:55.with my disabled brother, and I and my partner had to move out

:15:56. > :15:59.into a touring caravan on the drive. for my parents

:16:00. > :16:02.and my disabled brother. It was the first day of term

:16:03. > :16:05.today for many pupils, Newman High is uninhabitable

:16:06. > :16:09.after being flooded. So staff and 650 pupils

:16:10. > :16:20.have been moved to a mothballed primary school

:16:21. > :16:24.with temporary classrooms. The most important thing was

:16:25. > :16:28.to get some kind of normality back into the lives of the children

:16:29. > :16:30.and their families, This is my kitchen,

:16:31. > :16:38.which is in the bathroom. And as you can see, this is the only

:16:39. > :16:41.source of running water, And your work surface

:16:42. > :16:43.is this trolley? This is the only work surface

:16:44. > :16:45.there is, so this is where I do

:16:46. > :16:47.the washing up. Janet is recovering

:16:48. > :16:49.from a hip operation, If you could sit down

:16:50. > :16:55.with the people in power, Well, I don't think

:16:56. > :16:59.any of us here expected it to flood again

:17:00. > :17:02.after 2005. And I think now the whole question

:17:03. > :17:07.of flooding needs to be looked at very carefully

:17:08. > :17:11.because water has to go somewhere. of building the defences

:17:12. > :17:14.higher and higher. Businesses have set up

:17:15. > :17:22.temporary kiosks on the street. there's no time for political

:17:23. > :17:25.arguments about flood defences. It is all right looking at it

:17:26. > :17:29.on the television and seeing everybody flooded,

:17:30. > :17:31.I've done it myself. They just sit there in

:17:32. > :17:35.their little House of Commons and shout things out to each other,

:17:36. > :17:38.and nothing seems to get done. People just don't want

:17:39. > :17:40.their concerns swept away, and it's the effect on mortgages

:17:41. > :17:42.and house prices In Germany, the Interior Minister

:17:43. > :17:56.has strongly criticised police in the city of Cologne for failing

:17:57. > :18:00.to prevent a wave of sexual assaults More than 100 women have complained

:18:01. > :18:04.of being attacked by gangs of up to 30 men outside

:18:05. > :18:08.the city's train station. Witnesses and police have said

:18:09. > :18:10.that the men involved were mostly of Arab or North

:18:11. > :18:12.African appearance. Our correspondent Jenny Hill

:18:13. > :18:20.is in Cologne tonight. Yes, these attacks took place in the

:18:21. > :18:25.very heart of one of Germany's biggest cities. There is still

:18:26. > :18:28.outrage here. There were protests in the square here today. That is

:18:29. > :18:32.because these attacks also took place in in a country struggling

:18:33. > :18:36.with record levels of immigration. Today, the government announced that

:18:37. > :18:42.last year alone well over a million people arrived in Germany to seek

:18:43. > :18:43.asylum. For this country it's both a sensitive time and a sensitive

:18:44. > :18:48.subject. What happened here on New Year's Eve

:18:49. > :18:50.has horrified Germany. women were attacked,

:18:51. > :18:59.robbed and sexually assaulted. wanted to tell us

:19:00. > :19:04.what happened to her. She and her friends

:19:05. > :19:07.were surrounded by about 20 men. They just grabbed our

:19:08. > :19:17.arms, tried to tear us apart and pushed our clothes away

:19:18. > :19:20.and so on and tried to get between our legs, or I don't know

:19:21. > :19:22.where, and just got everything

:26:38. > :26:39.Blatter's former right-hand man, Jerome Valcke, faces a nine-year ban

:26:40. > :26:43.for violating ethics rules. The question now, it seems -

:26:44. > :26:47.whether anyone can be trusted. Are there any skeletons

:26:48. > :26:49.in your closet? Can you give us a cast-iron

:26:50. > :26:51.guarantee that we're not going to discover anything

:26:52. > :26:54.about you in the future that makes I can guarantee that I am the right

:26:55. > :27:00.person for this job. My track record is that I keep

:27:01. > :27:06.with my word and I implement Fifa, of course, has been

:27:07. > :27:11.notoriously resistant to change. For Ali, overcoming that

:27:12. > :27:14.hurdle will be one thing, but even if he wins,
