Sadiq Khan has taken over as the new Mayor of London, | :00:20. | :00:27. | |
after being elected with the biggest personal mandate of any | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
In total, the Labour MP secured more than one point three million votes. | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
Mr Khan said he was humbled by his win, and said London had | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Some Conservatives have joined Labour in criticising the tone | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
of the campaign run by the Tory candidate, Zac Goldsmith. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
APPLAUSE. The first Muslim Mayor of A major | :00:50. | :01:01. | |
western city has picked Southwark Cathedral to be sworn in. He has | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
done so very deliberately. His Conservative rival, tried to | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
associate Sadiq Khan with Islamic extremist, something that Labour | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
deny, Sadiq Khan said that his message to the capital was clear. | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
I'm determined to lead the most transparent, engaged and accessible | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
administration London as ever seen. And to represent every single | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
community and every single part of our city as Mayor for all Londoners. | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
But whilst Labour celebrates, there are big questions about the Tory | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
campaign. Eve Zac Goldsmith's sister said it did not reflect his | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
personality and lady Varsi, tweeted it had been appalling. | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
. It is rather careless to allow your campaign to be characterised in | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
that way. It is amazing that of all people, it is Zac Goldsmith who ends | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
up, if you like, bringing the nasty party label to the Conservative | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
Party. So, what has Zac Goldsmith had to | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
say? Well, not a lot. Did you run too negative a campaign, | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
Mr Goldsmith? Mr Goldsmith, any words at all? It was left to others | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
to do the explaining. In an election for one of the most | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
important elective offices in Britain, it is right that people are | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
scrutinised as candidates, their past associations and their policy | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
positions but he answered them. That is over now. We want to work with | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
him. Today then is Sadiq Khan's day and | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
for Labour a rare moment to savour a victory. | :02:56. | :02:55. | |
Our Political Correspondent Alex Forsyth is outside | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
Alex - he chose this venue - how symbolic is it? | :02:59. | :03:10. | |
Well, you heard from Sadiq Khan. He chose it as he said he wants to show | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
he is a Mayor for all Londoners. There is a packed audience in there, | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
again chosen to reflect the diversity of the city. As Sadiq Khan | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
came in, there was a standing ovation and from Baroness Lawrence, | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
who introduced him as a chance for chewnity and tolerance. | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
It is a very full ceremony which is ongoing. Among those attending was | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
the former Labour leader, Ed Miliband in the front row, sitting | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
next to Bernard Hogan-Howe. But a notable absence, no sign so far of | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
the current Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn. | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
The final results of the election for Northern Ireland's Assembly | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
Over three quarters of seats have been filled | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
and the Democratic Unionist Party and Sinn Fein are set to remain | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
Our Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler reports. | :04:10. | :04:18. | |
Northern Ireland has a history of big political figures, and with this | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
election result, Arlene Foster has marked herself out as the new face | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
of unionism. Absolutely delighted a very good day | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
for the party. She has led the Democratic Unionist | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Party to a significant victory and will once again be Stormont's First | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
Minister. I said that I wanted to lead from | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
the front. I have done that. Led from the front. Setting out our | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
plans clearly, I think that the people of Northern Ireland have | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
bought into those plans. Sinn Fein will be the other force in | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
Northern Ireland's new Assembly. Having held on to their position as | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
Stormont's second biggest party. Although they did face some | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
challenges. In Sinn Fein's traditional heartland of West | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
Belfast, it want an anti-austerity candidate that topped the poll. The | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
People Before Profit also won a second seat. They say that they are | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
in tune with people who feel let down by Stormont. | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
There is disillusionment with the political establishment. And it is a | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
reflection of this. It is discontent with a political system right across | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
the world. Provided that they win enough seats, | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
all of Northern Ireland's biggest parties are entitled to enter the | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
power-sharing coalition at Stormont. However, after disappointing | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
results, both the Ulster Unionist and the SDLP S may consider entering | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
the opposition, rather than government. The election may yet to | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
