:00:24. > :00:27.this weekend to try to gain their support for airstrikes in Syria.

:00:28. > :00:30.The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who says the Government has failed

:00:31. > :00:33.to make a convincing case for military action, is asking

:00:39. > :01:00.across the country to oppose UK involvement in air strikes.

:01:05. > :01:07.divided, his Shadow Cabinet split over whether they should back

:01:08. > :01:09.British air strikes in Syria. Many Labour MPs will be called by senior

:01:10. > :01:13.Government figures. The Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, Michael

:01:14. > :01:17.Fallon and Sir Mark Lyall Grant are among those who will contact

:01:18. > :01:22.opposition members to press the case for air strikes in Syria. Labour's

:01:23. > :01:27.leader has e-mailed the party's members opposing military action, he

:01:28. > :01:42.has asked them for their opinions by the start of next week. I think my

:01:43. > :01:45.colleagues should not be taken in by us becoming safe as a result of air

:02:02. > :02:06.supporters, but Jeremy Corbyn's opponents say he should focus not on

:02:07. > :02:13.his party but on the public. You have got a focus on party members,

:02:14. > :02:17.not on the public. The public show that they would like air strikes in

:02:18. > :02:22.Syria to attack Isis, they accept the risks involved, but they need

:02:23. > :02:27.action, because they can see the need to crush Isis and show

:02:28. > :02:30.solidarity with France. None of that is coming through from the

:02:31. > :02:36.leadership of the party. French jets are already launching attacks over

:02:37. > :02:40.Syria. Their president last night called on British MPs to back David

:02:41. > :02:44.Cameron and now the RAF to join them. Whoever wins the argument

:02:45. > :02:45.within the Labour Party could well decide whether that eventually

:02:46. > :02:47.happens. Downing Street says David Cameron is

:02:48. > :02:49.taking allegations of bullying within the Conservative

:02:50. > :02:53.Party's youth wing very seriously. It follows the apparent suicide

:02:54. > :02:56.of a 21-year-old activist in September, who had claimed he was

:02:57. > :03:01.bullied by a party youth organiser. An internal investigation is being

:03:24. > :03:32.state visit to Malta today. At a banquet for leaders of

:03:33. > :03:34.Commonwealth countries last night the Queen joked she was made to feel

:03:35. > :03:38.old by the new Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after he

:03:39. > :03:55.spoke of her past visits to Canada. It would not be an international

:03:56. > :03:58.summit without a banquet, and it would not be a Commonwealth Bank

:03:59. > :04:03.without the Queen, or quite possibly this will be the last conference she

:04:04. > :04:07.will attend. She will not travel to distant destinations in coming

:04:08. > :04:13.years. Looking around at the ever more youthful leadership inspired

:04:14. > :04:18.this right observation. Thank you, Prime Minister of Canada, for making

:04:19. > :04:23.me feel so old! There have been broad hints here that the Prince of

:04:24. > :04:26.Wales has been positioned to take on the role of head of the

:04:27. > :04:31.Commonwealth, and only if the Commonwealth invites him. Charles

:04:32. > :04:36.has a passionate commitment to the environment, one of the big issues

:04:37. > :04:42.at this conference. He has urged the Commonwealth to take a stand, as has

:04:43. > :04:46.the President of France, who will host the UN climate change

:04:47. > :04:49.conference in Paris. In their working sessions, Commonwealth

:04:50. > :04:55.leaders have discussed extremism and how this grouping of nations,

:04:56. > :04:58.representing nearly a third of the world's population, can do more to

:04:59. > :05:06.combat it. One other subject to David Cameron, the battle against

:05:07. > :05:07.corruption, he is expected to tell Commonwealth leaders that the

:05:08. > :05:13.international committee has ignored corruption for too long. , roughly

:05:14. > :05:18.leaders have continued their discussions in informal sessions.

:05:19. > :05:20.For the Queen, it has been a day of nostalgia, revisiting some of the

:05:21. > :05:21.site she will have known when she lived here with her husband in the

:05:22. > :05:24.early 1950s. It's doubles day in the Davis Cup

:05:25. > :05:27.final today between Great Britain Andy Murray and his brother Jamie

:05:28. > :05:30.are hoping to take the team 2-1 up ahead of tomorrow's

:05:31. > :05:33.decisive singles matches. Great Britain haven't won

:05:34. > :05:53.the cup since 1936. It is a big day. It is a huge day.

:05:54. > :05:56.You say 1936, written had never been in a final since 1978, we are

:05:57. > :06:03.reduced to stories of Britain being in the doldrums, but they could make

:06:04. > :06:07.a piece of history tomorrow. The doubles match you talk about today,

:06:08. > :06:12.the brothers linking up, could be the decisive match, because that

:06:13. > :06:16.would put them 2-1 up after yesterday finished at 1-1. Andy

:06:17. > :06:21.Murray will be expected to win his singles match tomorrow and give

:06:22. > :06:25.Britain the cup. It is a scarcely believable for. What a story, the

:06:26. > :06:30.brothers coming together, they experienced highs and lows on and

:06:31. > :06:36.off the court, but now uniting for their crowning family glory. It is a

:06:37. > :06:39.wonderful story, but they face a Belgian side who will fight tooth

:06:40. > :06:43.and nail in front of their home crowd and on a surface of their

:06:44. > :06:49.choosing, the clay. It should be quite an atmosphere today, and it

:06:50. > :06:51.wraps up tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

:06:52. > :06:54.You can see more on all of today's stories on the BBC News Channel.
