:00:21. > :00:26.The Labour Party is facing a leadership crisis.

:00:27. > :00:28.Jeremy Corbyn has sacked his shadow foreign secretary,

:00:29. > :00:30.Hilary Benn, after he told Mr Corbyn he had no

:00:31. > :00:37.Five members of Labour's front bench team have resigned and others

:00:38. > :00:42.Mr Corbyn's allies say he retains the support

:00:43. > :00:43.of the party's grassroots and is

:00:44. > :00:49.Our political correspondent, Carole Walker, reports.

:00:50. > :01:30.He said he did not believe Labour could win a general election under

:01:31. > :01:35.his leadership. He is a good and decent man, but he is not a leader.

:01:36. > :01:40.The Labour leader had posed with his shadow ministers to largest party's

:01:41. > :01:43.campaign to remain in the EU, but his lacklustre performance during

:01:44. > :01:48.the run-up to the referendum and his failure to convince many traditional

:01:49. > :01:52.party supporters to vote to remain has prompted a wave of resignations.

:01:53. > :01:56.I ask myself if I am going to be stood on the doorstep over the next

:01:57. > :02:02.couple of months, if I am going to be sat in TV studios, to die, hand

:02:03. > :02:05.on heart, say that I felt that Jeremy was the best person to be

:02:06. > :02:09.leading the Labour Party in developing the answers that the

:02:10. > :02:14.country is now demanding, and I did not feel I could do that. Ian Murray

:02:15. > :02:18.has resigned as shadow Scottish secretary. I think the Labour Party

:02:19. > :02:23.more than ever needs to be in government but I am not sure that

:02:24. > :02:29.what people tell me in the country that it can be delivered with Jeremy

:02:30. > :02:33.Corbyn as leader. Gloria De Piero, the Shadow Minister for young

:02:34. > :02:39.people, has gone to. Lucy Powell has stood down as Shadow Education

:02:40. > :02:44.Secretary, telling Mr Corbyn his position is untenable. But the

:02:45. > :02:47.Shadow Chancellor has been touring the studios, insisting Jeremy Corbyn

:02:48. > :02:52.will not fall on his sword, and declaring he will stand by him. I

:02:53. > :02:55.will never stand for leadership of the Labour Party. If Jeremy has to

:02:56. > :03:01.stand again, I will cheer his campaign. I think Labour Party

:03:02. > :03:05.members will elect him again. But that is unnecessary. The next few

:03:06. > :03:12.months are key for the Labour Party. We need to hold together to do that.

:03:13. > :03:18.Tom Watson, Mr Corbyn's deputy, could play a pivotal role. He has

:03:19. > :03:21.cut short his visit to Glastonbury. Jeremy Corbyn is already facing a

:03:22. > :03:28.vote of no-confidence and a growing number of Labour MPs say they no

:03:29. > :03:31.longer support him. Some shadow ministers are calling for unity,

:03:32. > :03:35.pointing to the big man date on from party members, many of whom are

:03:36. > :03:39.planning big demonstrations of support. It is an open battle for

:03:40. > :03:43.the future of the Labour Party. Carole Walker, BBC News,

:03:44. > :03:44.Westminster. Scotland's First Minister,

:03:45. > :03:45.Nicola Sturgeon, has said the Scottish Parliament could block

:03:46. > :03:47.the United Kingdom's exit She said the parliament in Edinburgh

:03:48. > :03:51.would have to give its consent and she would urge

:03:52. > :03:53.MSPs to veto the move. And two days after the referendum

:03:54. > :03:56.result was announced, more questions have been raised

:03:57. > :03:58.about how the new relationship Our political correspondent,

:03:59. > :04:01.Chris Mason, reports. What will the UK look

:04:02. > :04:06.like outside the European Union? We were warned the economy

:04:07. > :04:11.would fall off a cliff, so does the Cabinet minister

:04:12. > :04:13.responsible for business, who suggested just that,

:04:14. > :04:16.stand by the claim now? I am asking you whether you think

:04:17. > :04:19.we are heading for a recession and the loss

:04:20. > :04:21.of half a million jobs? Many who voted Leave want

:04:22. > :04:34.immigration cut, but senior figures in government

:04:35. > :04:36.who lost the referendum argument fear that

:04:37. > :04:37.could The fundamental dilemma at the heart

:04:38. > :04:43.of the Brexit position is that we will have

:04:44. > :04:49.to now make a decision that single market we want and need

:04:50. > :04:54.to protect our economy, and how much freedom of movement

:04:55. > :04:56.we are prepared And given some parts of the UK voted

:04:57. > :05:06.to stay in the EU, will the country as a whole

:05:07. > :05:07.actually leave? But my job as First Minister,

:05:08. > :05:12.the Scottish Parliament's job, is to judge these

:05:13. > :05:15.things on the basis of what's in the interests

:05:16. > :05:18.But can you imagine the fury of the British

:05:19. > :05:20.people if you stop them leaving Europe?

:05:21. > :05:23.I can, but you know it's perhaps similar to the fury of many

:05:24. > :05:27.people in Scotland right now as we face the prospect of being taken out

:05:28. > :05:28.of the European Union against our will.

:05:29. > :05:30.In the middle of this swirl of

:05:31. > :05:32.questions, the race to be our next Prime Minister.

:05:33. > :05:40.campaigners insist his successor has to be one of them.

:05:41. > :05:44.It would be very, very difficult for the public who

:05:45. > :05:47.voted for leaving the European Union to find that they then had a

:05:48. > :05:50.Prime Minister who actually was opposed to leaving the European

:05:51. > :05:54.Three days on from the referendum, some see a cloudy

:05:55. > :06:01.politics is going to be dominated for years

:06:02. > :06:11.negotiates its exit from the EU, and who will lead those talks.

:06:12. > :06:17.Our deputy political editor, Jon Pienaar, is at Westminster.

:06:18. > :06:22.There is very little certain in politics at this moment. Let's begin

:06:23. > :06:29.with Labour. Will I be no? We have seen today how

:06:30. > :06:32.that significant vote, the historically significant vote, has

:06:33. > :06:36.left the country with the government were no one seems to be truly in

:06:37. > :06:41.charge, and an opposition which has effectively ceased to exist as a

:06:42. > :06:46.credible, coherent force in British politics. By any normal rule of

:06:47. > :06:50.politics, no leader could see half his Shadow Cabinet work out the

:06:51. > :06:53.door, and then face a vote of no-confidence, with the leadership

:06:54. > :06:57.challenge coming down the pipeline, and carry on with any credibility or

:06:58. > :07:02.authority. But Labour stopped playing by the rules on the day the

:07:03. > :07:06.Jeremy Corbyn was elected as leader. There will be some sort of schism

:07:07. > :07:11.between the mass of the party members, who support Jeremy Corbyn,

:07:12. > :07:15.and the mass of the MPs, who do not. If Jeremy Corbyn survives this, we

:07:16. > :07:19.could be looking at seeing a break-up of the Labour Party, offer

:07:20. > :07:24.came that we have not seen since the 1980s. On the government side,

:07:25. > :07:31.seeing the Foreign Secretary talking about the possibility of Britain

:07:32. > :07:37.conceding some freedom of movement as a way of negotiating free-trade,

:07:38. > :07:43.it has left the Leave side angry and confused. There will be no serious

:07:44. > :07:47.progress on Britain's terms of trade and tell we have a new Prime

:07:48. > :07:51.Minister. We are seeing the argument that raged through the referendum

:07:52. > :07:54.campaign continuing, with all of the doubt, uncertainty, and anger that

:07:55. > :07:59.goes with it. One final point on Labour. Do you

:08:00. > :08:02.think Jeremy Corbyn can survive the next few days?

:08:03. > :08:08.In the next few days, we will see, and we have seen the Shadow Cabinet

:08:09. > :08:13.fall to pieces. There will be a vote of no-confidence Labour MPs. He has

:08:14. > :08:16.every prospect of losing that vote. I would expect to see an open

:08:17. > :08:26.leadership challenge to generate Corbyn, then it goes to the mass

:08:27. > :08:29.membership. He may well when that. -- he may well when that.

:08:30. > :08:31.Polls have opened in Spain after the four main

:08:32. > :08:33.parties failed to break the

:08:34. > :08:34.political deadlock from December's general election.

:08:35. > :08:37.Opinion polls have suggested that today's election may still not

:08:38. > :08:38.overcome the stalemate, with

:08:39. > :08:39.the conservative Popular Party tipped to win,

:08:40. > :08:41.but to fall short of a

:08:42. > :08:47.Police investigating the murder of Melanie Hall 20

:08:48. > :08:48.years ago have released a

:08:49. > :08:50.45-year-old man on bail pending further inquiries.

:08:51. > :08:52.Melanie, who was 25, was

:08:53. > :08:55.last seen at a nightclub in Bath in 1996.

:08:56. > :09:01.Her remains were found near the M5 motorway in 2009.

:09:02. > :09:05.A ceremony will be held today at the Tunisian

:09:06. > :09:07.beach resort where 38 tourists, 30 of them British, were killed

:09:08. > :09:12.The names of the dead will be read out and flowers laid

:09:13. > :09:14.on the sand at Port El Kantaoui near Sousse.

:09:15. > :09:30.But this beach became a byword for bloodshed.

:09:31. > :09:33.This was 12 months ago, a lone gunman bringing terror

:09:34. > :09:43.to the sands, killing 38 tourists in as many minutes.

:09:44. > :09:46.Angela Evans had to play dead as the attacker stood next to her.

:09:47. > :09:55.The memories and the grief still raw.

:09:56. > :09:58.Every day, I think about the poor people who never came back.

:09:59. > :10:01.I just wish I could reverse everything and work a bit of magic,

:10:02. > :10:11.When the attack happened, here at the five-star

:10:12. > :10:13.Imperial Marhaba Hotel, Angela was one of more

:10:14. > :10:25.The legacy of the attack is written in the sands.

:10:26. > :10:28.At this time of year, tourists should be flocking here,

:10:29. > :10:36.It was last June, just before the killer struck.

:10:37. > :10:39.But since then, the number of Britons coming on holiday to this

:10:40. > :10:46.The authorities here insist security has been stepped up,

:10:47. > :10:54.British officials say they are planning to review

:10:55. > :10:57.their travel advice, but for now, they are still warning tourists

:10:58. > :11:04.Adele made her debut on the Pyramid Stage

:11:05. > :11:07.at Glastonbury last night, the first time she's made a headline

:11:08. > :11:14.Tens of thousands of people gathered to watch her perform,

:11:15. > :11:16.including our entertainment correspondent, Lizo Mzimba.

:11:17. > :11:26.# At least I can say that I've tried.

:11:27. > :11:29.Thousands gathered to see the record- breaking singer.

:11:30. > :11:35.# To you, I'm sorry for breaking your heart.

:11:36. > :11:37.She has already played some massive numbers on her current

:11:38. > :11:44.The audience here is not necessarily made up exclusively

:11:45. > :11:51.Her ability to draw this huge crowd underlines her megastar status.

:11:52. > :11:53.She's not my kind of thing, but she is very good

:11:54. > :11:59.She is really good, amazing, she is really good live.

:12:00. > :12:01.Rather than just standing up there and singing,

:12:02. > :12:04.she was talking and making us feel part of the show.

:12:05. > :12:12.She's a bit of a change for a Glastonbury headliner,

:12:13. > :12:16.She shows her character and she sings amazingly, beautiful.

:12:17. > :12:21.Glastonbury, do it one more time for me, scream it.

:12:22. > :12:24.CROWD: # Never mind, I'll find someone like you.

:12:25. > :12:27.And so many here seemed thrilled someone like Adele chose them

:12:28. > :13:02.You can see more on all of today's stories on the BBC News Channel.

:13:03. > :13:03.This week is looking pretty unsettled, thanks
