The Labour leader suggests that Britain's nuclear submarines

could be retained but without their warheads.

As Labour debates the future of the fleet, Jeremy Corbyn says

the idea of a nuclear deterrent is part of the past.

The nuclear weapons system is something of the Cold War

I don't believe, in the insecurities of today, nuclear weapons

Jeremy Corbyn has raised the prospect of a Labour government

keeping Britain's nuclear submarines - but without their Trident

Mr Corbyn was speaking as Labour conducts a review of its defence

policy and says he wants to live in a nuclear free world.

But some of the party's trade union supporters -

as well as some of its MPs - are opposed to scrapping Trident

because of the potential impact on jobs.

Let's join our political correspondent Carole Walker at

This is a difficult and divisive issue for the Labour Party. Jeremy

Corbyn wants to scrap the nuclear weapons system. His party has voted

to renew it under review has been set up to resolve differences but

the latest suggestion of keeping the submarines without their nuclear

weapons has simply added a new dimension to the arguments.

British submarines armed with nuclear missiles have patrolled

the seas around the clock for the past

The Tory government is committed to maintaining the deterrent

and is confident it will get the backing of Parliament to replace

all four submarines within the next few months.

Today Jeremy Corbyn suggested you could keep the submarines

They don't have to have nuclear warheads on them.

An idea that will be considered in his party's defence

The paper Emily Thornberry has put forward is interesting.

It deserves a good study and read of it

and I hope there will be a serious and mature response

to what is a serious and hopefully mature debate

about the nature of security and insecurity and the nature

of the way we protect ourselves against

insecurity and bring about a more secure world as a result.

The party will look at the Japanese arrangement known as the "bomb

It is thought to have the technical capability to build

nuclear weapons that could fit nuclear submarines.

Its nuclear capability does not have useful parallels to the UK. It has

in Barrow in Furness. The local MP is not

impressed with his leader's Having a deterrent with no capacity

to deter because it has no missiles is like having

an army with broken rifles It is deeply frustrating

because every day that we spend debating

implausible schemes like this is a day we are not able

to hold the Conservative Jeremy Corbyn, a lifelong

antinuclear campaigner, has said he would never

press the nuclear button Critics say that undermines

the principle of deterrents, but some military experts

do question whether replacing Trident is the best way

to defend the nation against future One other subject Mr Corbyn touched

on, what did he say about so-called sympathy strikes? He was sticking

very much to the left wing agenda that won him the leadership of the

Labour Party. He said frequently he would repeal the trade union Bill

currently going through Parliament, that would restrict the power of

unions to call strikes and ensure there were thresholds for ballots.

Today he said he would also like to allow sympathy strikes so workers

from one industry could walk out in support of workers in another, which

is something that has been banned over 25 years, outlawed under the

Thatcher government. The Conservatives said if that was

allowed to come back it would damage the economy and some Labour MPs are

concerned. One said it would take Labour back to its worst period when

it could not be elected. It has been welcomed warmly by the unions and

Len McCluskey, leader of Unite, said this was music to his ears.

President Obama has hailed the lifting of international

sanctions on Iran as an opportunity for a new relationship

and appealed to Iranians to build ties with the world.

He said the implementation of the nuclear deal

But in response to a recent missile test by Iran,

today also saw new sanctions imposed.

Our Diplomatic Correspondent Bridget Kendall reports.

Less than 24 hours after, the first reaction directly from the American

president to the latest breakthrough with Iran. Sanctions have been

lifted, but the with Iran. Sanctions have been

programme, we have now cut off every build a bomb. There is a twist, new

sanctions slapped on today by the US Treasury to punish Iran for testing

a ballistic missile last year. Clearly the Americans held off until

yesterday's deal was in the bag. In Tehran, it has been about the bigger

prize. In Parliament, the president greeted his Foreign Minister, just

returned from clinching the deal to lift sanctions enthusiastically.

America campaign against this. We've realise sanctions are not a good

solution. Everybody has realised Iran is reliable. He added any new

measures imposed by the Americans would receive an appropriate

response. On the streets of Tehran today, the mood was quietly

jubilant. Newspaper headlines spoke of a great agreement and a new era

for Iran and the end of an economic blockade. And here is the other

likely reason. That the United States delayed any fresh sanctions

reporter. Former colleagues in Washington are already celebrating.

This afternoon, it emerged he and fellow detainees have now flown out

of Iran and were on the first stage of their way home will stop

reportedly flying to Geneva and onto an American military base in

Germany. It is here at this air base in Germany that these prisoners who

were being held in Iran will get their first taste of life after the

nightmare. American doctors will assess their health and they will

meet relatives who flew in specially from America. This breakthrough is

not just a diplomatic triumph will stop for several Iranian American

families, it is a personal good news story.

Now, 23 new zones have been added to this conservation network.

Football to start, and Arsenal are back up to the top

of the Premier League - tied with Leicester -

Elsewhere, pressure lifted a little on Manchester United manager Louis

van Gaal after his side recorded only their third win in 12 matches.

They beat Liverpool 1-0, thanks to captain Wayne Rooney.

No matter the year, their league position is all the men in charge,

Liverpool versus Manchester United is a game not to miss, or to lose.

Louis Van Gaal knew that and he could not have enjoyed a first half

in which Liverpool dominated, yet no goals. A slippery slope? Not yet.

The home side continued to create. The keeper's dive denying them. With

ten minutes to go, Liverpool slipped up. A ball into the box and onto the

trusted head of Fellaini and trusted foot of Wayne Rooney. The England

captain has not had a great season but this was a great moment for his

manager and the fans. 1-0 was how it ended. Giving united a huge win. We

have made a very good start in 2016. To beat Liverpool for the second

time in a row, it is marvellous. It will give a big boost to the players

and the fans. I hope we shall continue with winning. Winning would

also be a big boost to Arsenal, who were looking to go back on top but

Stoke City gave them a were looking to go back on top but

A draw not ideal for Arsenal, but they do return to the top of the

table. This is how the top of the Premier League looks. Arsenal back

on top, only a point separating them and Leicester from Manchester City.
