:00:10. > :00:13.The Labour leader urged his party to end its divisions,

:00:14. > :00:21.unite and focus on defeating the Conservatives.

:00:22. > :00:27.I will do everything I can to repay the trust and the support, to bring

:00:28. > :00:31.our party together, to make it an engine of progress for our country.

:00:32. > :00:34.We'll look at the challenges he faces to bring his party together.

:00:35. > :00:38.Junior doctors in England suspend all planned strike action

:00:39. > :00:48.And in Syria, the onslaught on Aleppo intensifies,

:00:49. > :01:08.as the UN warns of "a chilling military escalation".

:01:09. > :01:14.Jeremy Corbyn has swept to victory in the Labour leadership election

:01:15. > :01:18.with an even bigger margin than when he was first

:01:19. > :01:23.Mr Corbyn's victory over his challenger, Owen Smith was announced

:01:24. > :01:26.at the start of the party's annual conference in Liverpool.

:01:27. > :01:30.Mr Corbyn secured almost 62% of the vote with 38% backing Mr Smith.

:01:31. > :01:35.Mr Corbyn's urged what he called "the Labour family" to unite

:01:36. > :01:38.and focus on defeating the Conservatives.

:01:39. > :01:41.Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg is in Liverpool.

:01:42. > :01:45.Her report contains flash photography.

:01:46. > :01:47.I'm delighted to declare Jeremy Corbyn elected as leader

:01:48. > :02:01.But under him Labour has been redesigned.

:02:02. > :02:17.I will do everything I can to repay the

:02:18. > :02:19.trust and the support, to bring our party together.

:02:20. > :02:23.We have much more in common than that which divides us.

:02:24. > :02:27.As far as I'm concerned let's wipe the slate clean from today and get

:02:28. > :02:31.on with the work we have to do as a party together.

:02:32. > :02:36.Labour is a party brimming full of ideas,

:02:37. > :02:41.talent and creativity. And so is this country.

:02:42. > :02:45.Unleashing that potential is the job of all of us.

:02:46. > :02:49.Let us work together for real change in Britain.

:02:50. > :03:03.But despair from those who believe he

:03:04. > :03:07.can win this hall, but not the world outside.

:03:08. > :03:09.He has done it again, not just winning hands

:03:10. > :03:13.down, but with a bigger majority than last time.

:03:14. > :03:15.And his opponents who hoped it would weaken him?

:03:16. > :03:22.Rewriting convention, the leader of a party divided in a way

:03:23. > :03:24.it's not been for decades, wins another chance.

:03:25. > :03:28.You're one of his closest colleagues.

:03:29. > :03:34.I wish we hadn't had it, but now we are

:03:35. > :03:36.through it, it was done relatively amicably.

:03:37. > :03:39.The debate around policy demonstrates how united we were

:03:40. > :03:42.The criticisms about performance, well, where there's

:03:43. > :03:45.elements of validity about that, we can work out

:03:46. > :03:49.The majority of MPs backed Owen Smith, but Jeremy Corbyn has

:03:50. > :03:52.an overwhelming victory. How do the party move on?

:03:53. > :04:00.That means a lot of people didn't vote for Jeremy.

:04:01. > :04:03.So we've got to unite and focus on next year 's election.

:04:04. > :04:06.So how does the re-anointed leader pull altogether?

:04:07. > :04:08.The party is united on the economic strategy,

:04:09. > :04:10.united around education ideas, united around the National Health

:04:11. > :04:13.Service, united around the inequality and injustice

:04:14. > :04:18.And now that this election is over - and it is over - the whole party has

:04:19. > :04:22.an opportunity to come together, to put that message out.

:04:23. > :04:25.But the party is also bruised, battered, divided.

:04:26. > :04:30.I think you'll see a sense of unity around the party.

:04:31. > :04:34.I've already had messages on my phone already, text

:04:35. > :04:37.messages coming in from lots of people who want to get on

:04:38. > :04:39.board and get out there and do the campaigning.

:04:40. > :04:42.That's just what we're going to be doing.

:04:43. > :04:44.MPs pledging their support who have opposed you in the past?

:04:45. > :04:50.There are two things you could offer today that would make many of them

:04:51. > :04:53.feel that you really are serious about bringing them on board.

:04:54. > :04:55.That would be a return to Shadow Cabinet

:04:56. > :04:58.elections, and ruling out the selections for sitting MPs.

:04:59. > :05:02.I think you'll see a lot of changes over the next few weeks.

:05:03. > :05:04.Many MPs might hear you say that and worry about what

:05:05. > :05:08.Well, there's no need to worry because

:05:09. > :05:13.We're all democratically accountable to our

:05:14. > :05:19.They have no need to worry at all. I'm reaching out.

:05:20. > :05:25.Owen Smith, who challenged Mr Corbyn, avoided the crowds.

:05:26. > :05:29.Jeremy is to be congratulated for having changed the

:05:30. > :05:34.There is a significantly changed electorate in this party right now,

:05:35. > :05:38.and Jeremy has consistently won 60% of that support and he is to be

:05:39. > :05:41.congratulated on what is a decisive victory in this contest.

:05:42. > :05:44.That fight is over, but tonight another meeting.

:05:45. > :05:48.The two sides grappling over control of the party.

:05:49. > :05:51.Thankfully it was a refreshingly short

:05:52. > :05:55.meeting, because everybody wanted to see Ed Balls on Strictly Come

:05:56. > :06:02.Jeremy Corbyn transformed a small band of supporters into the

:06:03. > :06:11.His job now is to show the whole party he's on the way.

:06:12. > :06:14.Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Liverpool.

:06:15. > :06:17.Jeremy Corbyn's re-election was greeted with huge celebration

:06:18. > :06:24.The leader of the powerful Unite union, Len McClusky said MPs

:06:25. > :06:26.must now fall in behind the Labour leader.

:06:27. > :06:29.Our Deputy Political Editor John Pienaar reports on the challenges

:06:30. > :06:42.There's loyal, very loyal and then Momentum. A group dedicated, devoted

:06:43. > :06:48.to Jeremy Corbyn. How are you feeling? Fantastic. He's wonderful.

:06:49. > :06:53.Let's hope the party gets together, unites and starts to fight all these

:06:54. > :06:59.austerity measures. They expected Jeremy Corbyn to win,

:07:00. > :07:03.just not this big. Very excited. Today, it's not just a great day for

:07:04. > :07:07.the Labour Party, it's for the British politics. Here, they are

:07:08. > :07:10.buzzing about a result that leaves Jeremy Corbyn's leadership

:07:11. > :07:14.unassailable, that's something that was barely imaginable, something

:07:15. > :07:19.Labour's left could barely dream of seeing just about 18 months ago. Do

:07:20. > :07:22.they believe that makes him any more likely to take over the country. Do

:07:23. > :07:27.you believe Jeremy Corbyn can change the mind of Tory voters and work for

:07:28. > :07:32.him? I think if he works for it he absolutely can. We have seen a huge

:07:33. > :07:39.mandate. They need to respect that mandate and come in line. Desleek

:07:40. > :07:43.the Blairites. If you come from Liverpool, the

:07:44. > :07:49.chances are you are football mad and Labour, that doesn't mean you are

:07:50. > :07:53.necessarily a Corbyn fan. Hi. Jeremy Corbyn, just been elected, big, big

:07:54. > :08:00.win, what do you think of him, is he a winner? Jeremy Corbyn's a nice

:08:01. > :08:04.bloke. He's a good man. But I just think he won't be able to cut it on

:08:05. > :08:08.the world stage. Any match day at Anfield you will see political

:08:09. > :08:12.players too, one of the biggest warns Labour MPs to show loyalty to

:08:13. > :08:18.the leader. I'll be talking to people here who say Jeremy Corbyn's

:08:19. > :08:23.good guy but don't think he has what it takes to win. I accept that and

:08:24. > :08:29.therein lies the challenge for Jeremy. He's been fighting a battle

:08:30. > :08:35.since he was elected last year. I'm hoping now the PLP will recognise

:08:36. > :08:39.they have now got to unite, he and John McDonnell to take out the

:08:40. > :08:44.alternative strategy that ordinary decent hard working people are

:08:45. > :08:49.desperate for. An MP who is a Corbyn critics message, try harder. He's

:08:50. > :08:52.got to not just have moralies of those already who agree with him,

:08:53. > :08:55.but listen to those who don't agree too and work out what the policies

:08:56. > :09:00.are that would persuade people to come on board. In football and

:09:01. > :09:03.politics, this is deep red territory and no-one's denying Jeremy Corbyn

:09:04. > :09:09.has a lot of convincing to do. But today, he's won the right to prove

:09:10. > :09:15.the polls and the pundits conVictional wiz Tom is wrong and

:09:16. > :09:19.Labour to defining historic distance. So little to do, so little

:09:20. > :09:22.time. Our political editor

:09:23. > :09:26.Laura Kuenssberg joins Laura, on that last point,

:09:27. > :09:31.how difficult is it going to be to unite the party and move

:09:32. > :09:44.forward? The gap between them is wider than

:09:45. > :09:48.the mercy. From -- Mersey. Despite the insults, the campaign to get rid

:09:49. > :09:53.of him, party members overwhelmingly decided that he is their man. On the

:09:54. > :09:57.other side, his internal opponents think this is a disaster that could

:09:58. > :10:01.see Labour compelled to be out of power for many, many years to come.

:10:02. > :10:06.In terms of Jeremy Corbyn's suing for peace, he says he's determined

:10:07. > :10:09.to try to bring the party together, it's also abundantly clear that he

:10:10. > :10:13.believes with the new bigger mandate, that he's perfectly

:10:14. > :10:17.entitled to flex his muscles, to try harder to assert his authority over

:10:18. > :10:23.the party. Indeed, tonight at the first meeting of the party's ruling

:10:24. > :10:28.body since his victory, there were bad tempers over the table about

:10:29. > :10:31.Jeremy Corbyn's next plans. A couple of things are clear; this is a

:10:32. > :10:35.different political party to when Jeremy Corbyn won the first time

:10:36. > :10:39.round and I think also for most Labour MPs, they are now pretty much

:10:40. > :10:43.agreed that they have lost what they see as their best chance of moving

:10:44. > :10:47.Jeremy Corbyn out of the leadership before the next general election.

:10:48. > :10:52.Why does this all matter when Jeremy Corbyn won so clearly today? Because

:10:53. > :10:57.the general voting public outside of any political party tends to punish

:10:58. > :11:00.political parties who fight amongst themselves and the Labour Party

:11:01. > :11:01.hasn't done very much else for the last 12 months.

:11:02. > :11:05.Thank you. Junior doctors in England have

:11:06. > :11:08.suspended plans for further strikes in their dispute with the Government

:11:09. > :11:11.over new contracts Their union, the British Medical

:11:12. > :11:16.Association, said strikes planned for the coming

:11:17. > :11:18.months had been abandoned, The Government has

:11:19. > :11:31.welcomed the announcement. It's been a bitter dispute with

:11:32. > :11:35.unprecedented walkouts by junior doctors in England. Now their union,

:11:36. > :11:38.the BMA, has called a halt to the strikes, escalated action with

:11:39. > :11:43.five-day walkouts had been planned for the next three months, but

:11:44. > :11:49.they've now been suspended after concerns expressed by BMA members.

:11:50. > :11:52.Considering the feedback we have had from junior doctors, the public and

:11:53. > :11:57.our patients, we didn't feel that continuing with the plan of

:11:58. > :12:02.industrial action was something that the NHS could cope with. There are

:12:03. > :12:06.other options available to junior doctors and we'll be looking into

:12:07. > :12:09.those. However, patient safety is our primary concern, that's why we

:12:10. > :12:14.have chosen to suspend the industrial action. Strike action

:12:15. > :12:18.began in January this year. Then in April the first all-out strike by a

:12:19. > :12:23.group of doctors in NHS history took place. Agreement was reached with

:12:24. > :12:27.the Government, but in July, BMA members rejected the new contract

:12:28. > :12:31.deal. At the end of August, a series of longer escalated strikes was

:12:32. > :12:35.announced. Amidst reports of a split amongst

:12:36. > :12:40.BMA leaders, the first planned strike earlier this month was called

:12:41. > :12:44.off, but five-day walkouts over the next three months seemed set to

:12:45. > :12:48.continue. Now all the future planned strikes have been cancelled, the BMA

:12:49. > :12:52.says it will continue its campaign against the new employment contract

:12:53. > :12:54.due to be introduced next month. Thousands of operations were

:12:55. > :12:58.postponed during the action earlier this year. The Department of Health

:12:59. > :13:02.welcomed the suspension of strikes but urged the BMA to call off

:13:03. > :13:09.industrial action permanently in the interests of patients.

:13:10. > :13:12.The strikes are suspended but where does this leave the dispute?

:13:13. > :13:17.Has the Government won? They have commended the junior doctor

:13:18. > :13:20.leadership for taking this decision. The reality is they had to bow to

:13:21. > :13:24.pressure from members who said they didn't want to carry on striking,

:13:25. > :13:29.worrying about patient safety and the impact on the NHS. The BMA is

:13:30. > :13:35.talking about continued action, using other means. The court remains

:13:36. > :13:39.deeply unpopular -- the contract. There's talk on social media about

:13:40. > :13:43.people being unhappy with what the BMA have done. The reality is Jeremy

:13:44. > :13:49.Hunt will continue with imposing the contract from next month and the

:13:50. > :13:50.BM's rA's main card in continuing this dispute, the threat of strikes,

:13:51. > :13:58.is now off the table -- the BMA. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon

:13:59. > :14:01.has said he is appalled by the "chilling" upsurge

:14:02. > :14:04.in fighting in Aleppo and warned that the use of advance weaponry

:14:05. > :14:06.in Syria's battleground city Syrian government forces have spent

:14:07. > :14:11.the day attacking the town of Handarat, to the east

:14:12. > :14:24.of Aleppo, and carrying out This is the latest stronghold to

:14:25. > :14:30.come under attack. Control of Handarat is important because it

:14:31. > :14:34.sits on a main road in Aleppo. If the government wins, the road would

:14:35. > :14:41.be opened for the ground offensive Assad forces said would come. Air

:14:42. > :14:47.raids did not relent today, leaving many dead and buildings flattened.

:14:48. > :14:53.TRANSLATION: Early in the morning, they hit us with a powerful missile

:14:54. > :14:57.and there is still people there. They are destroying the country and

:14:58. > :15:05.there's no medical aid. They've killed many people.

:15:06. > :15:11.The government has warned civilians to avoid what it calls terrorist

:15:12. > :15:17.positions. Hospitals are overwhelmed with their victims. And now there's

:15:18. > :15:22.no water. UNICEF says the main supply to the east was damaged. A

:15:23. > :15:26.quarter of a million people now faced with drinking highly

:15:27. > :15:31.contaminated water. TRANSLATION: We are dying. The

:15:32. > :15:36.blockade, construction, killing. May God hold them to account.

:15:37. > :15:40.UN diplomacy's stalled. The blame game over who is responsible for

:15:41. > :15:49.this continues. And so do the bombs. Police say they're looking

:15:50. > :15:52.into claims that hackers have stolen thousands of private photographs

:15:53. > :16:07.belonging to Pippa Middleton, The Met Police made the announcement

:16:08. > :16:10.after it was reported the Sun newspaper reported that they had

:16:11. > :16:14.been offered ?50,000 for the photographs.

:16:15. > :16:17.The paper said the material included shots of the Duchess's

:16:18. > :16:22.children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

:16:23. > :16:33.Jeremy Corbyn is on the Andrew Marr Show tomorrow. Good night. Hi,

:16:34. > :16:38.there. The weather will chop and change over the next few days, some

:16:39. > :16:41.rain, sunshine and blustery winds as well. We have had a weather front

:16:42. > :16:42.bringing
