:00:00. > :00:07.The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn hits back at his critics.

:00:08. > :00:12.He dismisses claims of anti-Semitism within Labour's ranks.

:00:13. > :00:17.We stand absolutely against anti-Semitism in any form.

:00:18. > :00:22.We stand absolutely against racism in any form.

:00:23. > :00:24.We'll be asking where this week of controversy

:00:25. > :00:30.Also on the programme, should the Government

:00:31. > :00:36.Ministers dismiss newspaper reports as not strictly accurate.

:00:37. > :00:39.We take a rare look inside North Korea as it prepares

:00:40. > :00:46.to celebrate its leader - in the first Party Congress

:00:47. > :00:50.And Leicester City are held to a draw by Manchester United

:00:51. > :00:53.and will have to wait a little longer to be crowned

:00:54. > :01:15.At a May Day rally in London, the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has

:01:16. > :01:17.insisted his party is "united" in opposing anti-Semitism

:01:18. > :01:22.following the suspension of his close ally Ken Livingstone

:01:23. > :01:24.and the MP Naz Shah earlier in the week.

:01:25. > :01:26.Supporters have rallied to Mr Corbyn's defence

:01:27. > :01:30.over his handling of the row, with union leader Len McCluskey

:01:31. > :01:33.saying it had been whipped up by the right of the Labour Party

:01:34. > :01:38.Here's our Political Correspondent Carole Walker.

:01:39. > :01:45.A barrage of further questions for Jeremy Corbyn.

:01:46. > :01:50.Criticism of his handling of this row shows no sign of relenting,

:01:51. > :01:52.despite his pledge to tackle the problem with an inquiry

:01:53. > :02:05.We stand absolutely against anti-Semitism in any form.

:02:06. > :02:08.We stand absolutely against racism in any form.

:02:09. > :02:11.We stand united as a labour movement.

:02:12. > :02:16.At today's rally, he was surrounded by friends and supporters.

:02:17. > :02:20.People are choosing to be offended in order to dislodge Jeremy Corbyn.

:02:21. > :02:22.It seems to me that the right of the Labour Party

:02:23. > :02:30.I don't think it should affect Jeremy Corbyn.

:02:31. > :02:33.I don't think it will affect Jeremy Corbyn, and I would be

:02:34. > :02:37.delighted to say I will be supporting Jeremy Corbyn.

:02:38. > :02:44.Jeremy Corbyn has insisted he has always opposed racism in all forms

:02:45. > :02:47.but this row has now led to new questions about his

:02:48. > :02:50.leadership, just days from elections, which will be seen

:02:51. > :02:52.which will be seen as a critical test.

:02:53. > :02:55.Labour's candidate for London mayor, Sadiq Khan, told a Sunday newspaper

:02:56. > :02:59.And a former Labour minister said the whole crisis

:03:00. > :03:03.If action had been taken earlier, we could have nipped

:03:04. > :03:06.this problem in the bud, but it hasn't been gripped.

:03:07. > :03:11.I hope it is now finally been gripped after the Livingstone fiasco

:03:12. > :03:14.this week, but it will be judged on what we do.

:03:15. > :03:18.But the Unite union leader Len McCluskey accused some Labour

:03:19. > :03:20.MPs of aiding and abetting the Tories and right-wing press

:03:21. > :03:26.This is nothing more than a cynical attempt to manipulate

:03:27. > :03:29.anti-Semitism for political aims, because this is all about

:03:30. > :03:34.constantly challenging Jeremy Corbyn's leadership.

:03:35. > :03:38.You don't need any more pictures of me.

:03:39. > :03:40.Ken Livingstone has refused to back down from his claim

:03:41. > :03:43.that Hitler supported Zionism before the Holocaust,

:03:44. > :03:47.despite being suspended from his party.

:03:48. > :03:49.Israel's new ambassador said some within the Labour Party

:03:50. > :03:57.it's about demonising the Jewish state.

:03:58. > :04:00.The comments we've heard over the last two or three weeks

:04:01. > :04:06.that were made public, it's got nothing to do

:04:07. > :04:08.with criticising this or that particular Israeli policy.

:04:09. > :04:10.The pressure on Jeremy Corbyn is far from over, with Labour braced

:04:11. > :04:13.for significant losses at this week's elections.

:04:14. > :04:15.Are you going to go to Israel, Mr Corbyn?

:04:16. > :04:20.How much substance is there in the idea that this row has been

:04:21. > :04:31.Undoubtably, there are some Labour MPs who were never happy about

:04:32. > :04:35.Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the party, and there are some who

:04:36. > :04:38.believe he was reluctant to tackle this issue because of his

:04:39. > :04:42.long-standing support for the Palestinian cause. But this now goes

:04:43. > :04:46.much wider than that. You heard the Israeli ambassador that. This is a

:04:47. > :04:50.serious issue for the Labour Party, and if the leadership do try to

:04:51. > :04:53.sweep it aside and blame it on some right-wing faction in the party,

:04:54. > :05:14.that will just make matters worse for Jeremy

:05:15. > :05:17.Corbyn. The trouble for the leadership now is that this row is

:05:18. > :05:20.drowning out any other messages they would like to be focusing on ahead

:05:21. > :05:22.of those important elections in Scotland, Wales, London and local

:05:23. > :05:24.councils across the country. Many Labour MPs are deeply pessimistic

:05:25. > :05:26.about their prospects. If their worst fears are realised, if Labour

:05:27. > :05:28.does suffer significant losses, it will be very difficult for the

:05:29. > :05:31.leadership to continue to argue that it is simply a bunch of disgruntled

:05:32. > :05:32.Blairites who are the cause of all Jeremy Corbyn's problems. Carole,

:05:33. > :05:33.thank you. Ministers have dismissed newspaper

:05:34. > :05:35.reports that the Culture Secretary John Whittingdale wants to stop

:05:36. > :05:37.the BBC scheduling its top-rated programmes,

:05:38. > :05:38.including Strictly Come Dancing, at the same time as popular

:05:39. > :05:41.shows on rival networks. Our Media Correspondent David

:05:42. > :05:52.Sillito has more. It is TV's big night, Saturday

:05:53. > :05:58.evening, the traditional prime-time entertainment battle ground.

:05:59. > :06:02.Exterminate! Doctor Who, Strictly Come Dancing, X Factor. But why does

:06:03. > :06:08.the end of Strictly often overlap with the beginning of X Factor? Why

:06:09. > :06:13.couldn't the big shows be separated? Also, why are the BBC's big dramas

:06:14. > :06:18.often scheduled directly against ITV's. It appears the Government has

:06:19. > :06:23.had enough of this. The headlines today proclaim that the BBC was

:06:24. > :06:27.about to be told this has to stop. So what can anyone do about these

:06:28. > :06:30.clashes? Well, the Government has been concerned about the BBC's

:06:31. > :06:35.impact on its commercial rivals for some time now, and it's understood

:06:36. > :06:38.that they are looking at the possibility that whoever ends up

:06:39. > :06:42.regulating the BBC will have some power to either adjudicates or

:06:43. > :06:48.intervene on the topic. The BBC says it is deeply concerned. Labour said

:06:49. > :06:51.it was meddling. But in a statement, the department of culture says the

:06:52. > :06:54.Government is not going to be interfering in the schedules. But

:06:55. > :06:58.this doesn't mean it's not concerned about the corporation's impact on

:06:59. > :07:03.its competitors. In terms of scheduling and Saturday nights,

:07:04. > :07:07.there will be nothing about that. There will probably be something

:07:08. > :07:11.about the BBC minding its Ps and Qs, being a bit more careful than it

:07:12. > :07:14.sometimes has been about its impact on commercial competitors. Questions

:07:15. > :07:18.have also been raised about both ITV and the BBC broadcasting their main

:07:19. > :07:22.evening bulletins at the same time at ten o'clock. But do clashes over

:07:23. > :07:28.the news or Strictly matter as much as they once did? Do you care when

:07:29. > :07:35.they overlap? I do, actually. It is frustrating. Obviously, prime-time

:07:36. > :07:40.viewing is competitive for everybody. If they clash in the

:07:41. > :07:44.schedules, does that bother you? Know, because I can do it on catch

:07:45. > :07:48.up. And there is also the government's own recent report on

:07:49. > :07:51.the topic, which said the impact on ITV from clashes in entertainment

:07:52. > :07:55.and drummer was at most 1% of its audience. David Sillito, BBC News.

:07:56. > :07:58.A man's been arrested on suspicion of murder after the body

:07:59. > :08:01.of a teenage girl was pulled from the sea at Broadstairs in Kent.

:08:02. > :08:03.Officers were first called to the port in Ramsgate due

:08:04. > :08:05.to concerns for a person in the water.

:08:06. > :08:07.Our correspondent Simon Jones joins us from there.

:08:08. > :08:19.The police were first alerted at around five o'clock this morning.

:08:20. > :08:24.They told the coastguard, who launched a huge search. That

:08:25. > :08:29.involved a coastguard helicopter, two lifeboats and teams going along

:08:30. > :08:32.the shore. At around 7:45am along the coast in Broadstairs, the

:08:33. > :08:37.lifeboat fished out of the water the body of this teenage girl. They

:08:38. > :08:41.haven't revealed how old she was exactly and she hasn't been named

:08:42. > :08:45.this evening, but we don't know that there has been an arrest and police

:08:46. > :08:48.have launched a murder investigation. Officers say the key

:08:49. > :08:54.thing now is to establish the circumstances behind this event. In

:08:55. > :08:57.21-year-old man from Ramsgate has been arrested on suspicion of

:08:58. > :09:02.murder, and he remains in police custody this evening. People on the

:09:03. > :09:05.pier today were trying to enjoy the bank holiday and have been speaking

:09:06. > :09:08.of their shock and upset at what happened. Simon, thank you.

:09:09. > :09:11.A look at some of the day's other stories now, and two people have

:09:12. > :09:13.died in a house fire in Spalding in Lincolnshire.

:09:29. > :09:31.the Super Puma when it crashed on Friday.

:09:32. > :09:34.His family say they are heartbroken by his death.

:09:35. > :09:38.There's been an explosion outside a police station

:09:39. > :09:40.in south-eastern Turkey, close to the Syrian border.

:09:41. > :09:43.At least two policemen have been killed, and more

:13:36. > :13:38.I have taken this several times, but it is time.

:16:08. > :16:10.The title could be theirs tomorrow if nearest rivals Tottenham

:16:11. > :16:22.Our Sports Correspondent Andy Swiss was at Old Trafford.

:16:23. > :16:28.It would have once sounded utterly unthinkable, but Leicester fans

:16:29. > :16:32.flocked to Old Trafford knowing that the impossible dream lay in

:16:33. > :16:37.tantalising reach. There are no words to describe it, it's just

:16:38. > :16:43.amazing. I have not slept all night and I just can't cope any longer. It

:16:44. > :16:46.has got to be done. What better way for the movie to end, winning this

:16:47. > :16:51.Premier League at the theatre of dreams? But could the players now

:16:52. > :16:55.make them reality? There would have to beat a Manchester United team

:16:56. > :16:59.battling for Champions League qualification, and Anthony Martial

:17:00. > :17:04.swept the hosts ahead. Now for a test of Leicester's character. At

:17:05. > :17:08.first, they seemed swamped. Only Kasper Schmeichel denied United a

:17:09. > :17:13.second. But suddenly, the jitters turned to joy. Leicester captain Wes

:17:14. > :17:17.Morgan with a priceless equaliser, and the fans inside Old Trafford

:17:18. > :17:22.were not the only ones delighted. Hundreds celebrated at the club's

:17:23. > :17:26.stadium back in Leicester, as did plenty more in Bangkok, home of the

:17:27. > :17:31.team's Thai owners. This is very much a global ferry tale. After the

:17:32. > :17:34.break, Leicester new one more go would complete it, but for once, it

:17:35. > :17:38.didn't go according to the script. Annie Drinkwater was sent off and

:17:39. > :17:42.they had to settle for a point. No title yet, then, but they are edging

:17:43. > :17:49.ever closer. I am always satisfied when I see my players play as well

:17:50. > :17:56.as today. The result is a consequence. They show their

:17:57. > :18:00.character, their heart, that's all, and after you can accept the result.

:18:01. > :18:05.Almost, then, but not quite. Leicester will win the title if

:18:06. > :18:09.Tottenham face to -- if Tottenham fail to beat Chelsea tomorrow, but

:18:10. > :18:12.for one day at least, the celebrations are on hold.

:18:13. > :18:14.There were two other matches in the Premier League today,

:18:15. > :18:17.Manchester City could have returned to third in the table but slipped up

:18:22. > :18:24.City are four points clear of Manchester United in fifth.

:18:25. > :18:27.Andre Ayew scored twice, but Jack Cork scored the best

:18:28. > :18:29.of Swansea's goals as they beat Liverpool 3-1

:18:30. > :18:41.The win means that they can't be relegated.

:18:44. > :18:47.at the Russian Grand Prix before more engine trouble with his

:18:48. > :18:49.Mercedes scuppered his chances of a first win this season.

:19:12. > :19:19.and avoid the chaos that unfolded on the first lap. Ferrari's Sebastian

:19:20. > :19:23.Vettel wasn't so fortunate. I am out, crash! Somebody hit me in the

:19:24. > :19:27.BLEEP. That turned out to be Hamilton's lucky break. With the

:19:28. > :19:30.rival out of the way of the safety car bunching up the field when

:19:31. > :19:34.racing resumed, he charged up the order. He was up to second before

:19:35. > :19:38.the halfway mark, and went on a mission to catch his Mercedes

:19:39. > :19:43.team-mate in leader Nico Rosberg. But then his luck ran out once

:19:44. > :19:47.again. Looks like we have a pressure issue. That meant he couldn't catch

:19:48. > :19:51.Rosberg, who claimed the chequered flag by 25 seconds. His fourth win

:19:52. > :19:52.of the season leaves him head and shoulders above the rest in the
