:00:20. > :00:27.Sadiq Khan has taken over as the new Mayor of London,
:00:28. > :00:29.after being elected with the biggest personal mandate of any
:00:30. > :00:36.In total, the Labour MP secured more than one point three million votes.
:00:37. > :00:39.Mr Khan said he was humbled by his win, and said London had
:00:40. > :00:46.Some Conservatives have joined Labour in criticising the tone
:00:47. > :00:49.of the campaign run by the Tory candidate, Zac Goldsmith.
:00:50. > :01:01.APPLAUSE. The first Muslim Mayor of A major
:01:02. > :01:07.western city has picked Southwark Cathedral to be sworn in. He has
:01:08. > :01:13.done so very deliberately. His Conservative rival, tried to
:01:14. > :01:17.associate Sadiq Khan with Islamic extremist, something that Labour
:01:18. > :01:25.deny, Sadiq Khan said that his message to the capital was clear.
:01:26. > :01:29.I'm determined to lead the most transparent, engaged and accessible
:01:30. > :01:35.administration London as ever seen. And to represent every single
:01:36. > :01:41.community and every single part of our city as Mayor for all Londoners.
:01:42. > :01:48.But whilst Labour celebrates, there are big questions about the Tory
:01:49. > :01:53.campaign. Eve Zac Goldsmith's sister said it did not reflect his
:01:54. > :01:59.personality and lady Varsi, tweeted it had been appalling.
:02:00. > :02:04.. It is rather careless to allow your campaign to be characterised in
:02:05. > :02:09.that way. It is amazing that of all people, it is Zac Goldsmith who ends
:02:10. > :02:12.up, if you like, bringing the nasty party label to the Conservative
:02:13. > :02:16.Party. So, what has Zac Goldsmith had to
:02:17. > :02:24.say? Well, not a lot. Did you run too negative a campaign,
:02:25. > :02:30.Mr Goldsmith? Mr Goldsmith, any words at all? It was left to others
:02:31. > :02:35.to do the explaining. In an election for one of the most
:02:36. > :02:40.important elective offices in Britain, it is right that people are
:02:41. > :02:44.scrutinised as candidates, their past associations and their policy
:02:45. > :02:49.positions but he answered them. That is over now. We want to work with
:02:50. > :02:55.him. Today then is Sadiq Khan's day and
:02:56. > :02:55.for Labour a rare moment to savour a victory.
:02:56. > :02:58.Our Political Correspondent Alex Forsyth is outside
:02:59. > :03:10.Alex - he chose this venue - how symbolic is it?
:03:11. > :03:16.Well, you heard from Sadiq Khan. He chose it as he said he wants to show
:03:17. > :03:22.he is a Mayor for all Londoners. There is a packed audience in there,
:03:23. > :03:29.again chosen to reflect the diversity of the city. As Sadiq Khan
:03:30. > :03:37.came in, there was a standing ovation and from Baroness Lawrence,
:03:38. > :03:43.who introduced him as a chance for chewnity and tolerance.
:03:44. > :03:48.It is a very full ceremony which is ongoing. Among those attending was
:03:49. > :03:55.the former Labour leader, Ed Miliband in the front row, sitting
:03:56. > :03:58.next to Bernard Hogan-Howe. But a notable absence, no sign so far of

:04:19. > :04:26.Northern Ireland has a history of big political figures, and with this
:04:27. > :04:30.election result, Arlene Foster has marked herself out as the new face
:04:31. > :04:34.of unionism. Absolutely delighted a very good day
:04:35. > :04:39.for the party. She has led the Democratic Unionist

:04:42. > :04:45.Minister. I said that I wanted to lead from
:04:46. > :04:49.the front. I have done that. Led from the front. Setting out our
:04:50. > :04:52.plans clearly, I think that the people of Northern Ireland have
:04:53. > :04:56.bought into those plans. Sinn Fein will be the other force in
:04:57. > :05:00.Northern Ireland's new Assembly. Having held on to their position as

:05:15. > :05:18.People Before Profit also won a second seat. They say that they are
:05:19. > :05:24.in tune with people who feel let down by Stormont.
:05:25. > :05:30.There is disillusionment with the political establishment. And it is a
:05:31. > :05:33.reflection of this. It is discontent with a political system right across
:05:34. > :05:37.the world. Provided that they win enough seats,
:05:38. > :05:43.all of Northern Ireland's biggest parties are entitled to enter the
:05:44. > :05:47.power-sharing coalition at Stormont. However, after disappointing
:05:48. > :05:50.results, both the Ulster Unionist and the SDLP S may consider entering
:05:51. > :05:53.the opposition, rather than government. The election may yet to
