:04:50. > :04:57.The band at the Durham miners far more harmonious relations between
:04:58. > :05:03.the Labour leader and his own MPs. Most wanting to go but apparently
:05:04. > :05:09.there are unstoppable force has met an immovable object. Jeremy Corbyn
:05:10. > :05:13.told an audience of trade unionists that he would not be pressured into
:05:14. > :05:18.resigning. There is no pressure on me, none whatsoever. The real
:05:19. > :05:23.pressure, the real pressure is when you do not have enough money to feed
:05:24. > :05:30.your kids. When you do not have a roof over your head. That went down
:05:31. > :05:32.well here but he will now face a leadership challenge at Westminster.
:05:33. > :05:40.The former Shadow Business Secretary Angela Eagle confirmed that she will
:05:41. > :05:45.now trigger a contest. She had been pushing Jeremy Corbyn to go
:05:46. > :05:49.voluntarily this week. Jeromy needs to stand down. Jeremy Corbyn needs
:05:50. > :05:53.to resign. She had been waiting to see if the Labour deputy leader Tom
:05:54. > :05:57.Watson could persuade his friends in the trade union movement to push
:05:58. > :06:00.Jeremy Corbyn aside. Today he concluded there was no point in
:06:01. > :06:05.further talks because the leader was not listening.
:06:06. > :06:10.But soon afterwards the general secretary of the biggest union in
:06:11. > :06:16.the UK accused the deputy Labour leader of an act of Savic as and a
:06:17. > :06:21.deeply disingenuous move. Eight out of ten of Jeremy Corbyn 's Labour
:06:22. > :06:23.MPs voted for a motion of no confidence in him so you might
:06:24. > :06:31.wonder why he has not been challenged already. The fear is that
:06:32. > :06:36.he might win any subsequent contest, because party members make a
:06:37. > :06:39.decision and not MPs. Aaron Smith has also talked openly of the danger
:06:40. > :06:44.of his party splitting but others said that a contest cannot be
:06:45. > :06:49.avoided. I nominated Jeremy and many in my constituency were involved not
:06:50. > :06:51.just in voting for him but supporting him and being active in
:06:52. > :06:56.his campaign. Since September or they have seen is stagnation at the
:06:57. > :07:01.top. If you go on the Labour Party website there are no policies,
:07:02. > :07:04.literally nothing saying what journey is trying to achieve.
:07:05. > :07:09.Tonight Angela Eagle was preparing for the formal launch of her
:07:10. > :07:12.leadership bid on Monday. Soon the contest could decide not just her
:07:13. > :07:16.future but that of the entire Labour Party.
:07:17. > :07:25.And what happens next? I suppose rival networks might exaggerate a
:07:26. > :07:29.bit but to be honest, this I think is the biggest crisis that the
:07:30. > :07:35.Labour Party has faced since the 1980s when the SDP split from the
:07:36. > :07:40.party. We had Owen Smith speaking about the dangers of a split and
:07:41. > :07:44.also Len McCluskey, the head of the Unite union, saying the party is in
:07:45. > :07:48.great peril. What happens next is a leadership challenge will be
:07:49. > :07:50.triggered, and if Jeremy Corbyn wins any contests, more moderate members
:07:51. > :07:55.of the Labour Party might decide to leave. In the interim the ruling
:07:56. > :07:58.National executive must decide on the rules of the contest and it is
:07:59. > :08:03.not even clear if Jeremy Corbyn would automatically be on the ballot
:08:04. > :08:06.for the contest or would have to go out and seek nominations from other
:08:07. > :08:11.MPs. It sounds like a technical point but it is crucial if on the
:08:12. > :08:13.strength of feeling against him at Westminster, they might decide they
:08:14. > :08:18.do not want on the ballot. In that case the party membership might be
:08:19. > :08:22.in open revolt, and we would see a nasty Civil War ripping out in the
:08:23. > :08:26.Labour Party all across the summer at a time when the Conservative
:08:27. > :08:27.Party are fighting their own leadership contest.

:08:33. > :08:34.The President said there was sorrow and anger,
:08:35. > :08:38.He described the gunman Micah Johnson as a "demented"
:08:39. > :08:41.individual and said he did not represent African Americans.
:08:42. > :08:50.Our Correspondent, James Cook, is in Texas for us this evening.
:08:51. > :08:58.This attack in Dallas which left five police officers and the gunman
:08:59. > :09:02.dead has led to a tremendous amount of heartbreak but has also fuelled
:09:03. > :09:07.the sense that this is a country on edge. Bitterly divided, not least
:09:08. > :09:12.between supporters and opponents of the police. And today the president
:09:13. > :09:15.did his best to try to play down those fears.
:09:16. > :09:18.In Texas and across the United States, the men and women

:10:34. > :10:38.President Obama appealed for calm back home at a Nato summit. As
:10:39. > :10:47.painful as this week has been, I firmly believe that America is not
:10:48. > :10:51.as divided as some have suggested. But in many places the US appeals
:10:52. > :11:02.divided. -- feels divided. In Atlanta and elsewhere thousands
:11:03. > :11:05.of Americans are still taking to the streets to protest
:11:06. > :11:07.against the police. And in Dallas they are preparing
:11:08. > :11:10.to say goodbye to five officers who lost their lives
:11:11. > :11:12.in the line of duty. At times it feels like this
:11:13. > :11:14.has become the motif This time the shrine

:12:00. > :12:09.importance and urgency. David Cameron says MPs will decide,

:12:56. > :12:58.singles record, now a fourth Among those to deny her,
:12:59. > :13:05.today's opponent, Angelique Kerber. Graf is Kerber's inspiration -
:13:06. > :13:10.double motivation. If the quality of past finals has
:13:11. > :13:15.been doubted, this one delivered. In the next rankings these will be
:13:16. > :13:20.the world's top two. But Williams is number one and look
:13:21. > :13:25.at what it meant to win set one. Kerber battled from the baseline
:13:26. > :13:32.and even engaged in close combat. Williams was down but perhaps
:13:33. > :13:34.that was simply a rehearsal The ghost of Graf finally
:13:35. > :13:43.laid to rest. It's been incredibly difficult
:13:44. > :13:50.not to think about it. I had a couple of tries this year,
:13:51. > :13:55.lost to two great opponents, one actually being Angelique,
:13:56. > :13:58.but you know it makes the victory even sweeter to know how
:13:59. > :14:01.hard I worked for it. Thank you guys for being

:14:05. > :14:10.equalled but broken, She has matched the record
:14:11. > :14:17.of Steffi Graf but she's definitely not over, she wants
:14:18. > :14:19.to break more records. With the singles sorted,
:14:20. > :14:21.Serena was soon back on court joining forces
:14:22. > :14:26.with her sister, Venus. And they did exactly what they do
