:00:00. > :00:09.Labour's row over anti-semitism deepens with claims that it's

:00:10. > :00:11.being used to undermine Jeremy Corbyn.

:00:12. > :00:14.He hits back at his critics, dismissing talk of racism

:00:15. > :00:27.We stand absolutely against anti-Semitism in any form. We stand

:00:28. > :00:29.absolutely against racism in any form.

:00:30. > :00:32.A new warning on Zika; scientists say the virus could be much more

:00:33. > :00:38.The Government denies it's planning to interfere with the scheduling

:00:39. > :00:45.And a day of destiny for Leicester on the brink of football history

:00:46. > :01:12.The row inside the Labour party over anti-semitism deepened today.

:01:13. > :01:14.The party leader Jeremy Corbyn insisted that Labour was united

:01:15. > :01:18.in opposing racism and one of his supporters, the head

:01:19. > :01:21.of Britain's biggest union, Len McCluskey, accused some Labour

:01:22. > :01:24.MPs of using the controversy to try to undermine Mr Corbyn's leadership.

:01:25. > :01:29.But Israel's ambassador to London said that parts of the British left

:01:30. > :01:34.This report from our Political Correspondent

:01:35. > :01:41.A barrage of further questions for Jeremy Corbyn.

:01:42. > :01:44.How is the campaign going, Jeremy?

:01:45. > :01:48.Criticism of his handling of this row shows no sign of relenting,

:01:49. > :01:52.despite his pledge to tackle the problem with an inquiry

:01:53. > :02:00.We stand absolutely against anti-Semitism in any form.

:02:01. > :02:02.We stand absolutely against racism in any form.

:02:03. > :02:08.We stand united as a Labour movement...

:02:09. > :02:12.At today's rally, he was surrounded by friends and supporters.

:02:13. > :02:18.People are choosing to be offended in order to dislodge Jeremy Corbyn.

:02:19. > :02:21.It seems to me that the right of the Labour Party

:02:22. > :02:27.I don't think it should affect Jeremy Corbyn.

:02:28. > :02:30.I don't think it will affect Jeremy Corbyn, and I will be

:02:31. > :02:34.delighted to say I will be supporting Jeremy Corbyn.

:02:35. > :02:40.Jeremy Corbyn's insisted he's always opposed racism in all forms,

:02:41. > :02:42.but this row has now led to new questions about his

:02:43. > :02:47.leadership just days from elections which will be seen

:02:48. > :02:53.Labour's candidate for London mayor, Sadiq Khan,

:02:54. > :02:55.told a Sunday newspaper the row could harm his prospects,

:02:56. > :02:58.and a former Labour minister said the whole crisis

:02:59. > :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. > :03:09.I hope it's now finally been gripped after the Livingstone fiasco this

:03:10. > :03:12.week, but we will be judged on what we do.

:03:13. > :03:16.But the Unite union leader, Len McCluskey, accused some Labour

:03:17. > :03:21.MPs of aiding and abetting the Tories and right wing

:03:22. > :03:23.press to undermined their own leader.

:03:24. > :03:26.This is nothing more than a cynical attempt to manipulate

:03:27. > :03:28.anti-Semitism for political aims, because this is all about

:03:29. > :03:34.constantly challenging Jeremy Corbyn's leadership.

:03:35. > :03:36.You don't need any more pictures of me.

:03:37. > :03:40.Ken Livingstone has refused to back down from his claim that

:03:41. > :03:42.Hitler supported Zionism before the Holocaust,

:03:43. > :03:44.despite being suspended from his party.

:03:45. > :03:48.Israel's new ambassador said some within the Labour Party

:03:49. > :03:53.It's not about criticising Israel, it's about demonising

:03:54. > :03:57.The comments we have heard over the last two or three weeks

:03:58. > :04:00.that were made public, it has got nothing to do

:04:01. > :04:03.with criticising this or that particular Israeli policy.

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

:04:10. > :04:13.for significant losses at this week's elections.

:04:14. > :04:16.Are you going to go to Israel, Mr Corbyn?

:04:17. > :04:21.How much substance is there in the idea that this row has been

:04:22. > :04:29.Undoubtedly there are a number of Labour MPs who've never been happy

:04:30. > :04:34.with Jeremy Corbyn's leadership and a few who might try to use it to

:04:35. > :04:38.instigate some sort of moves against him. But this does now go much wider

:04:39. > :04:42.than this. You only have to look at those comments from the Israeli

:04:43. > :04:45.ambassador. It's a serious issue for the Labour Party and if the

:04:46. > :04:51.leadership were to try toe sweep this aside as simply being got at by

:04:52. > :04:54.a group of Labour MP who is don't like him, that would make matters

:04:55. > :04:58.even worse for Jeremy Corbyn. The problem is that this whole row's now

:04:59. > :05:02.drowning out any of the other messages that Labour would like to

:05:03. > :05:05.be getting across ahead of those important elections in Scotland,

:05:06. > :05:10.Wales, London, and local councils right across the country. Many

:05:11. > :05:15.Labour MPs are deeply pessimistic about their prospects and, if their

:05:16. > :05:18.fears are realised if Labour does suffer significant losses, then I

:05:19. > :05:21.think it will be very difficult indeed to simply argue that it's

:05:22. > :05:23.just a bunch of old Blairites who're the cause of all Jeremy Corbyn's

:05:24. > :05:26.problems. Scientists in Brazil say the Zika

:05:27. > :05:30.virus may be much more dangerous It's been linked to microcephaly,

:05:31. > :05:35.that's the birth of babies Experts have told the BBC that Zika

:05:36. > :05:40.could be behind many other damaging neurological conditions affecting

:05:41. > :05:43.one in five pregnant From Rio, our correspondent

:05:44. > :05:50.Wyre Davies sent this report. The Zika virus and its potentially

:05:51. > :05:54.devastating consequences In Brazil, there have now been

:05:55. > :06:00.almost 1200 confirmed cases of microcephaly,

:06:01. > :06:03.where babies are born Doctors have now told the BBC that

:06:04. > :06:09.microcephaly is just the tip of the iceberg,

:06:10. > :06:12.one of several neurological As more is known about Zika,

:06:13. > :06:19.specialists say the risk to expectant mothers who have had

:06:20. > :06:22.the virus could be even greater TRANSLATION: The expectation is that

:06:23. > :06:29.a woman who has had Zika has a 1% chance of having

:06:30. > :06:32.a baby with microcephaly, but if we consider a range of other

:06:33. > :06:37.possible neurological conditions, There is an urgency

:06:38. > :06:46.to understand more about Zika Here they are using stem cell

:06:47. > :06:51.technology to create new cells that They call them mini brains,

:06:52. > :06:56.and they infect them with Zika. Perhaps some of the most interesting

:06:57. > :06:59.and alarming work that is being done here on these so-called mini brains

:07:00. > :07:03.is proof of just how effective and destructive

:07:04. > :07:07.the Zika virus can be. What we see here is the cerebral

:07:08. > :07:09.cortex. Neuroscientists were shocked

:07:10. > :07:13.by what they discovered. The huge reduction in growth

:07:14. > :07:16.of the cerebral cortex, the critical The effect of the Zika virus

:07:17. > :07:22.was very impressive. We were all astonished

:07:23. > :07:26.by the fast effect. In three days, we saw really

:07:27. > :07:32.a massive cell death. In six days, the neuro spheres

:07:33. > :07:35.were completely gone. Zika infection and cases

:07:36. > :07:39.of microcephaly are spreading in southern states,

:07:40. > :07:43.including Rio de Janeiro, particularly among poorer

:07:44. > :07:47.sectors of society. We've seen no anti-Zika campaigns

:07:48. > :07:51.around here, says Fabiani, illustrating that messages

:07:52. > :07:55.about Zika control aren't getting The baby's father abandoned

:07:56. > :08:03.the family when he discovered little Valentino was ill, leaving

:08:04. > :08:06.the mother to bring up four children in a country still learning how

:08:07. > :08:09.damaging this virus can be. The Government has dismissed reports

:08:10. > :08:17.that it could force the BBC to reschedule some of its most

:08:18. > :08:20.popular shows to avoid clashing Several newspapers say

:08:21. > :08:25.the Culture Secretary John Whittingdale is considering the idea

:08:26. > :08:28.as negotiations continue over This report from our

:08:29. > :08:35.Arts Correspondent David Sillito. Saturday evening,

:08:36. > :08:40.the traditional prime-time Dr Who, Strictly Come

:08:41. > :08:48.Dancing, X Factor. But why does the end

:08:49. > :08:50.of Strictly often overlap Why couldn't the big

:08:51. > :08:55.shows be separated? Also, why are the BBC's dramas often

:08:56. > :08:58.scheduled directly against ITV's? It appears the Government has had

:08:59. > :09:04.enough of this. The headlines today proclaimed

:09:05. > :09:08.that the BBC was about to be told So what can anyone do

:09:09. > :09:13.about these clashes? Well, the Government has been

:09:14. > :09:16.concerned about the BBC's impact on its commercial rivals for some

:09:17. > :09:20.time now, and it's understood they are looking at the possibility

:09:21. > :09:24.of whoever ends up regulating the BBC having some power

:09:25. > :09:28.to either adjudicate However, in a statement,

:09:29. > :09:38.the Department of Culture says the Government is not going to be

:09:39. > :09:43.interfering in the schedules. But this doesn't mean it's not

:09:44. > :09:45.concerned about the corporation's In terms of scheduling

:09:46. > :09:50.and Saturday nights, there will be nothing

:09:51. > :09:54.about scheduling Saturday nights. But there will be probably something

:09:55. > :09:58.about the BBC minding its Ps and Qs, being a bit more careful than it

:09:59. > :10:01.sometimes has been about its impact Questions have also been raised

:10:02. > :10:05.about both ITV and the BBC broadcasting their main evening

:10:06. > :10:08.bulletins at the same time, But do clashes over

:10:09. > :10:14.the news or Strictly matter Obviously there is that

:10:15. > :10:26.prime-time viewing that is If they clash in the schedules,

:10:27. > :10:32.does that bother you? No, because I can always do

:10:33. > :10:34.it on catch-up. And there is also the Government's

:10:35. > :10:37.own recent report on the topic, which said the impact on ITV

:10:38. > :10:40.from clashes in entertainment and drama was at most

:10:41. > :10:42.1% of its audience. The helicopter that crashed

:10:43. > :10:49.in Norway on Friday killing 13 people had to abort two separate

:10:50. > :10:52.flights only days The Super Puma returned to base

:10:53. > :10:57.on both occasions when The British victim of the crash has

:10:58. > :11:03.been named today as 41-year-old Iain Stuart from Laurencekirk

:11:04. > :11:05.in Aberdeenshire. His family say they are

:11:06. > :11:07.heartbroken by his death. A man's been arrested on suspicion

:11:08. > :11:09.of murder after the body of a teenage girl was pulled

:11:10. > :11:13.from the sea at Broadstairs in Kent. Officers were first called

:11:14. > :11:15.to the port in Ramsgate due to concerns for a person

:11:16. > :11:18.in the water; an air and sea search was carried out by the coastguard,

:11:19. > :11:21.and the body was recovered. The girl's next-of-kin

:11:22. > :11:24.have been informed. Now, how can politicians

:11:25. > :11:27.generate better life That was one of the themes

:11:28. > :11:34.in the final Scottish leaders' TV debate this evening ahead

:11:35. > :11:36.of Thursday's The SNP say theirs is a manifesto

:11:37. > :11:41.for the next generation which will give everyone an equal

:11:42. > :11:44.chance of going to university. So what's their record

:11:45. > :11:47.in government? Our Scotland Editor Sarah Smith

:11:48. > :11:52.has this assessment. An education fit for a future king

:11:53. > :11:56.is free for Scottish students studying at St Andrews

:11:57. > :11:59.and all of Scotland's But that does not mean

:12:00. > :12:04.all young Scots have an equal How to improve access to higher

:12:05. > :12:09.education is a key issue Free university tuition fees

:12:10. > :12:16.are a popular policy that the SNP say is at the heart

:12:17. > :12:20.of their commitment to equal access for all students,

:12:21. > :12:22.regardless of background. But does it really help poorer

:12:23. > :12:25.students get into places like this? Or does it disguise a failure in one

:12:26. > :12:28.of the Scottish Government's The challenge is to give young

:12:29. > :12:34.people from disadvantaged backgrounds the same chances

:12:35. > :12:37.of getting into university as kids It is still not a level playing

:12:38. > :12:43.field. And at this youth club in Clydebank

:12:44. > :12:46.they told me that is because fees When I was in school, nobody ever

:12:47. > :12:54.spoke to me about going to uni. There is not the support there,

:12:55. > :12:58.or your family's not been to university, and you don't have

:12:59. > :13:03.anybody round about you to be like, yeah, uni is a good idea,

:13:04. > :13:06.it will set you up for lif. My parents wouldn't like sit down

:13:07. > :13:11.and help me with homework and they wouldn't go after school

:13:12. > :13:13.clubs, they wouldn't go to homework clubs,

:13:14. > :13:17.it was work focussed. As soon as you can find a job

:13:18. > :13:20.and help contribute to, you know, the household income and things

:13:21. > :13:23.like that, you are better, Everyone here thinks that free

:13:24. > :13:28.tuition is helpful, but while the Government covers

:13:29. > :13:31.the fees for all students, even the most privileged,

:13:32. > :13:34.grants to cover maintenance costs for poorer students have been cut,

:13:35. > :13:37.while loans have been increased. If you look at the reality

:13:38. > :13:40.of what has happened under the SNP over the last eight years,

:13:41. > :13:42.the highest price has been paid Bursaries for the poorer students

:13:43. > :13:47.have been cut by a third. We know in Scotland you are only

:13:48. > :13:50.half as likely to get to university if you are from a poorer background

:13:51. > :13:53.than south of the border. We don't think that is good enough,

:13:54. > :13:57.we need to give extra help to people The carpentry course

:13:58. > :14:01.at West College Scotland is the preferred option

:14:02. > :14:04.for these students. Critics complain it is colleges that

:14:05. > :14:07.have paid the price for free The college sector in Scotland has

:14:08. > :14:14.been stripped bare. We have had massive cuts that have

:14:15. > :14:17.involved 152,000 college The biggest repair job we have

:14:18. > :14:22.do is to invest back The SNP say their reforms have

:14:23. > :14:27.prioritised vocational courses like bricklaying over low

:14:28. > :14:29.quality part-time studies. They insist they can support

:14:30. > :14:32.colleges and universities, You have made access

:14:33. > :14:39.to university a priority. After nine years of an SNP

:14:40. > :14:49.Government why is this still such The attainment gap is

:14:50. > :14:52.a long-standing problem. Over nine years of an SNP

:14:53. > :14:55.Government, we have seen It is not we are going

:14:56. > :14:58.in the wrong direction. I make no apology for want doing

:14:59. > :15:02.better and do more and do it faster. Slow progress has seen a small

:15:03. > :15:04.increase in the numbers of disadvantaged students,

:15:05. > :15:08.making it into higher education. If reelected, Nicola Sturgeon has

:15:09. > :15:11.pledged every child in Scotland will eventually have an equal

:15:12. > :15:14.shot at getting to one North Korea is making

:15:15. > :15:18.last-minute preparations for a once-in-a-generation congress

:15:19. > :15:21.of its ruling elite. The meeting is expected

:15:22. > :15:24.to consolidate the power and authority of Kim Jong-Un

:15:25. > :15:28.as the country's Supreme Leader. North Korea is a closed

:15:29. > :15:32.and secretive state, to which journalists

:15:33. > :15:35.rarely get access. But our correspondent

:15:57. > :16:09.can speak English. I have taken this several

:16:10. > :16:12.times, but it is time. I am studying at Kim

:16:56. > :16:58.show here in decades. From atop a high monument,

:16:59. > :17:01.we glimpse thousands of dancers rehearsing for the opening

:17:02. > :17:04.of the Workers' Party Congress. Its job - to glorify

:17:05. > :17:09.the rule of Kim Jong-un. There is no escaping

:18:00. > :18:00.looks like a set-up. It is easier to understand

:18:51. > :18:55.if nearest rivals Tottenham Our Sports Correspondent,

:18:56. > :19:10.Andy Swiss, was at Old Trafford. It would have once sounded utterly

:19:11. > :19:14.unthinkable, but Leicester fans flocked to Old Trafford knowing the

:19:15. > :19:19.impossible dream lay in tantalising reach. There is no words to describe

:19:20. > :19:23.it. It's just amazing. Yes. We are going to do it. I've not slept all

:19:24. > :19:28.night and I just can't cope any longer. It's got to be done today.

:19:29. > :19:31.What better way for the movie to end, winning this Premier League at

:19:32. > :19:35.the Theatre of Dream. That's what dreams are made of. Making those

:19:39. > :19:43.Manchester United went ahead through Martial and, for the Leicester fans,

:19:44. > :19:49.it was nail-nibbling time. But then... Leicester level! Wes

:19:50. > :19:54.Morgan's equaliser sparked jubilation inside Old Trafford and

:19:55. > :19:59.beyond. Back in Leicester, hundreds celebrated at the club's stadium, as

:20:00. > :20:06.did plenty more in Bangkok, home of the team's Thai owners. While they

:20:07. > :20:11.couldn't conjure a title-clinching victory, another point edges them

:20:12. > :20:18.ever closer. I'm always excited when I see my players play well today.

:20:19. > :20:22.After the result is a consequence. I want them to show their character

:20:23. > :20:27.and then afterwards you can accept the result. Almost then but not

:20:28. > :20:30.quite. Leicester will win the title if Tottenham fail to beat Chelsea

:20:31. > :20:34.tomorrow, but for one day at least, the celebrations are on hold. Andy
