How can you survive in the wake of so many resignations from your front

bench? In the wake of the EU referendum,

the Labour Party is in turmoil as Jeremy Corbyn loses a dozen key

members of his top team, the latest A string of resignations followed

the sacking of Hilary Benn - who said Mr Corbyn wasn't up

to being Labour leader following his handling

of his party's referendum campaign. I made my views clear to Jeremy. He

is a good and decent man, that he is not a leader and that is the

problem. If there is another leadership

election we will fight that with Jeremy as our candidate and I'm

hoping and we will win again and get a renewed mandate.

In other news tonight, ten people including eight

children have been injured after a roller-coaster derailed

Eyewitnesses say a carriage on the Tsunami ride fell up

One year on from the massacre in Tunisia, a memorial has been held

for the holidaymakers who died at Sousse.

And Ireland are out of the Euros after losing to France.

The political turmoil following Britain's vote to leave

the European Union engulfed the Labour Party today

with 12 departures in all from Jeremy

It began with the Labour leader's sacking of his Shadow Foreign

Secretary, Hilary Benn, who told him he had no confidence

A string of resignations followed throughout the day.

Chris Bryant has had at his name to the list of departures. Jeremy

Corbyn has just issued a statement saying I regret there have been

resignations today that I am not going to betray the trust of those

who voted for me or the millions of those who need Labour to represent

them. Those who want to change the leadership will have to stand in a

democratic election in which I will be a candidate. Over the next

24-hour is I will reshape my Shadow Cabinet and announce a new

leadership team to take forward the campaign for a fairer Britain and to

get the best deal with Europe and our people. Well, I spoke to Labour

MP Cat Smith a little earlier -- she supports Jeremy Corbyn as party

leader - and I asked her to what extent she and other Labour MPs had

expected this number of resignations. We have seen organ

straight attempt at a coup -- orchestrated. It is clear he is

going nowhere because now is not a time for a self-indulgence to the

challenge of the leadership, the company needs the Labour Party to be

unified to make sure people pay the price and they will not be the

working people. Have you met him today? I haven't I've just gotten

into London so I have not had the chance to meet him. You call it a

coup, other people say it is a legitimate way for a party to act if

they feel they will not get back into power with a particularly in

charge. I said the Labour Party as a democratic socialist party and we

are only as strong as our members. When a general election is called

there may be one soon, we'll be writing to our members and will the

line, the Tories will have more money that we are stronger because

we have members who will knock on doors and hand out leaflets and the

membership is clear it is behind Jeremy Corbyn. He has to appeal to

more than the roots, if they cannot reach gamba heartlands then there

will not win a general election. Previous leaders have found that to

their dismay. Absolutely we need to make gains which is what we saw in

the elections in last May and we saw again in support for Labour based on

the 2015 election on that side Jeremy Corbyn is doing that work. He

has engaged a lot of people to engage with politics which I think

is very exciting. The Labour leader faces a revolt

among his top team - with 12 departures in the wake

of the EU referendum. Jeremy Corbyn has said he will stay

in post despite members of his Shadow Cabinet saying they have no

confidence he can win an election. He's a good and decent man

but he is not a leader, After the vote - questions over how

Britain will move forward in balancing future trade deals

and migration numbers. Those who say don't worry,

they'll allow us to have control of migration from the EU

while maintaining access to the single market,

are simply mistaken. Tonight - as the Conservative Party

looks to the future, both Theresa May and Boris Johnson

are reported to be A rollercoaster accident

at a theme park near Glasgow - eight children are among

the injured. All I could see was people stuck,

some upside down, everybody was just One year on from the massacre

on a Tunisian beach - the holidaymakers who died

in Sousse are remembered. And Ireland are out of the Euros

after losing to France 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 the hours that followed,

11 members of the Shadow 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. 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.

Where does this series of with more uncertainty.

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

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 Tomorrow could be the start of the

difficult financial week after the turmoil on Friday. Our business

editor, how was it looking? There is an old adage that markets are like

uncertainty that there is an abundance of uncertainty and they

don't like it one bit. Anderson King hit the markets in Asia have opened.

The pound is down another 2%. They have this badly wrong. The thought a

remain win would happen, this is the biggest one-day move in the history

of the sterling. $2.1 trillion wiped off. Now what happened, the UK got

off likely, it was any down 3%, 4% in Stirling on Friday maths because

the Bank of England governor Cayman saying we have cash that they can

use, I expect the chance to do some think was missing in action button

now so soothing words. But, given the uncertainty it is very unlikely

that we have seen the end of market turmoil so it'll be another busy

time in the city tomorrow. Scotland's First Minister said she

looks at every possibility to achieve event Scotland losing its

membership. The First Minister suggested the Holyrood parliament

could withhold its concerns for breaks it. -- Brexit. Nicola

Sturgeon is here to tell Scottish voters that they didn't vote for

Brexit and if she can find a way to block the process she will. She

vote against the legislation which vote against the legislation which

could be required before the UK leaves. The option of saying we're

not going to vote for something against that interest is on the

table. Even if that blocks Britain? Don't get the wrong, I care about

the rest of the UK and England, that is why I am so upset at the decision

but I didn't create the situation. Enjoying a Spanish player in

Edinburgh, voters are attempting to die just the result. They are trying

to block it. I like the sound of that democratic naughtiness from

Nicholas I'm all for it. I feel it is a political opportunism at this

time. The vast majority of MSP is to not want to leave, they are not

really sure they have the power to stop it. This is a big claim from

the First Minister and she needs the black with good advice. Our

understanding is that this is not possible. Nicola Sturgeon has

promised to do all she can to try and 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. Can they really block a

Brexit? Constitutional experts are not convinced. Holyrood cannot block

it. There is a principle that if Westminster is going to do something

then it should get the consent of the Scottish Parliament, Scottish

Parliament will refuse that an Westminster has or has been able to

override that. Scotland may not have a veto that it does have options.

Already polls are showing a large boost in support for Scottish

independence. Age children and two adults have

been injured after a roller-coaster carriages derailed and crashed into

a children's right below. It happened in Motherwell at M

amusement park. The damaged a ten carriage from a roller-coaster

packed with families, eyewitnesses say the tsunami ride derailed

shortly after it set off before falling 30 feet onto a children's

ride close by. I turned around and all I could see was one of the

carriages hurtling towards the ground on top of one of the other

rights which was a children's road but I'm not sure if anybody was on

it. But then once it had landed, all I could see where people upside

down. People said there was silence followed by screaming, parents

feared for their children who were among the injured. Hearing everyone

screaming, kids running back to parents, I was going forward to look

for my son, people were running in disbelief as to what they had seen.

Onlookers rushed to free those trapped but within minutes they were

joint by the emergency services with specialist equipment. It was quite

clearly distressing, even the injured children, the gondola are in

a damaged condition. For whatever reason, they have detached from the

rails causing it to leave the track. Many schools have broken up for the

summer holidays and there would have been lots of children here at this

theme park when the roller-coaster derailed. It is not the first time

there has been problems here including this in only

roller-coaster, this is the most serious accident to have occurred.

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 30 toys were shot dead on the beach in suits. A

ceremony has been held. The attack claimed by a so-called Islamic State

was the greatest loss of British life in a terrorist incident since

the July 2005 London bombings. Our correspondence and this report.

the speech. Ireland have been knocked out of

Euro 2016 being beaten 2-1 by France. England will play France if

they win the next game against Iceland tomorrow Dan Rowan reports.

Having already provided one of the big upset by beating Italy, the task

confronting the Republic of Ireland was even more daunting, taking on

the host nation. Star-studded France are favourites to win, a nation

expects but it certainly wasn't expecting this. In the second minute

Paul Pogba's clumsy challenge handing islander penalty. Robbie

Brady giving his team the perfect start and the fans had been granted

just 5000 tickets for this match. How they were the ones who could be

heard. France had been stunned and had to wait until the second half

for their comeback. Eventually their extra quality proved decisive.

Antoine Griezmann coming to the rescue, first superbly heading the

equaliser and after that the winner as the brave resistance finally gave

ten men having given their all and ten men having given their all and

their opponents a serious care. France able to breathe a sigh of

relief as they progress to the last eight. He will play there will be

determined here by the stadium tomorrow evening. England are

seeking their first knockout win at a major tournament for ten years,

with huge amount at stake for both team its manager. This evening the

squad had its first look around the stadium as they seem to join Wales

in the quarterfinal, Roy Hodgson all too aware this will certainly be his

last game in charge if the unthinkable happens and England

fail. Its most significant for the football team in the country, that

is worth either significance. We desperately want to stay in and we

think that we are good enough to stay in. But to do that we have to

get results. Standing in England's way, country of 330,000 population

but what ice and lack in size they more than make up for in spirits.

The task for England to make sure one of the most compelling stories

does not happen with a twist. Back now to the referendum and part of

the UK that have been receiving funding are seeking assurances that

they won't fall following belief right. Councils in Yorkshire and

Cornwall and the Welsh government have asked for guarantees that EU

grants will be matched. Taking the plunge an collider,

voters here took the plunge to leave Europe. Its restoration was partly

paid for by ?3 million of European funding. Designed to help some of

the poorest areas, like many other former mining communities. The

majority of people here backed the exit and there's a feeling that

politicians Danny to get on with it. 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 I think it will be good for the

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 Britain to leave Europe, say
