Ukip loses its only MP as Douglas Carswell quits | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
He joined the party after defecting from the Conservatives in 2014. | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
Now he says he's achieved his main objective. | :00:15. | :00:18. | |

The UK Independence Party's only MP, Douglas Carswell, has announced | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
He said he decided to leave because the party had | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
achieved its goal of pulling Britain out of the European Union, adding | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
He will now represent Clacton as an independent MP | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
but there are calls for him to face a by-election. | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
Our political correspondent Alex Forsyth reports. | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
There's been no love lost between Douglas Carswell and some | :01:45. | :01:57. | |
When he joined the party in 2014 it was a big deal. | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
I am today leaving the Conservative Party and joining Ukip. | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
But his relationship with the then leader soon soured. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Differences in policies and personalities and today he quit | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
Ukip saying the party's job was done now the country had backed Brexit. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
If other people want to carry it on, I wish them all the best. | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
By quitting have you not put the final nail in Ukip's coffin? | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
I went into Ukip and made the switch in order to get us out | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
Theresa May means Brexit is in safe hands. | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
No tears from Nigel Farage, the former party leader said | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Douglas Carswell jumped before he was pushed and was | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
Current leaders who saw him as a cause of division agree. | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
It really won't make very much difference to us other than drawing | :02:52. | :03:00. | |
a line under something which has really caused nothing | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
but sort of heartache for about a year, more than a year. | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
Douglas was never that comfortable in the party and so I think that | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
Douglas Carswell is duly elected as a member | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
of parliament for the said constituency, thank you. | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
Last time he changed allegiances the Clacton MP made big play | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
of asking voters for approval out of principle, but not this time. | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
If I was switching parties, if I was going from Ukip | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
to the Conservatives, then absolutely I would feel honour | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
The voters voted for a Ukip MP and now they're | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
When I was a Conservative and I switched to Ukip I triggered | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
a by-election, I think I was the first member of parliament | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
in 26 years to insist upon doing that but I am not changing parties, | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
In his constituency, some have questioned his decision. | :03:46. | :03:57. | |
A disgrace really, he was doing well for Ukip. | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
It's down to him at the end of the day if he wants to do that, | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Mr Carswell hasn't ruled out returning to the Tories | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
but says for now he will be an independent MP. | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
His parting gift to Ukip - further questions over the party's | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
Alex Forsyth is in Westminster for us now. | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
So where does this leave Ukip's future? | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
Ukip's been plagued by bitter infighting and much has stemmed from | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
differences between the former leader, Nigel Farage, and his | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
supporters and Douglas Carswell and his supporters on key issues like | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
the approach to the EU referendum and immigration. It's not a huge | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
surprise that Douglas Carswell has left and many think this will be a | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
chance to draw a line under what's been the cause of much division. He | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
was the party's only MP. It won't make much difference to their | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
influence in parliament because that was limited anyway. But it is | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
important symbolically. Ukip always struggled to turn its popular | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
support into parliamentary seats. The leader Paul Nuttall recently | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
failed to win a by-election in Stoke. Now Douglas Carswell has | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
chosen to quit three days before Theresa May's due to push the button | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
and start the formal Brexit process. He says that will mean Ukip's job is | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
done so once again the party is facing the question what does Ukip | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
stand for now the UK is leaving the EU? | :05:21. | :05:21. | |
Thank you. A former head of the | :05:22. | :05:37. | |
Metropolitan Police has called for changes to security there, | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
following Wednesday's attack. Former Commissioner Lord Blair said | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
there should be a review One man, arrested in Birmingham, | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
remains in police custody. Our home affairs correspondent | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
June Kelly reports. Minutes after the terrorist | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
attack in the precincts On the ground is constable Keith | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
Palmer who was stabbed to death. His killer, Khalid Masood, | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
has been shot by police. Meanwhile, armed officers stationed | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
here have left the scene to investigate the commotion outside | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
the gates where Masood's car has The gates, meanwhile, have been left | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
unguarded and wide open, An understandable error, | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
according to a former head of Scotland Yard who nevertheless | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
believes that in future security here will have | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
to be more stringent. I am absolutely certain | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
there will be a review now of the kind of outer soft rim, | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
always behind it is the inner core of armed officers, but PC | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
Keith Palmer has paid for his life for that soft outer rim | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
and I think his family, at least, and everybody else, | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
needs the reassurance The BBC has obtained new footage | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
of the police response. A fleet of cars carrying | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
teams of marksmen racing This was shortly after | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
Khalid Masood's trail of carnage Questions remain unanswered | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
about his route to radicalisation. He was a violent criminal | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
before converting to Islam One of his victims who survived | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
but with serious injuries is Romanian tourist Andrea Cristea | :06:57. | :07:06. | |
who was hurled into the Thames. She was in London with her partner, | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Andrei Burnaz, who was also hurt. In Romania, a friend paid tribute | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
to the emergency services in London. TRANSLATION: We would especially | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
like to thank the doctors and nurses, all the medical staff | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
for everything they're And today at Scotland Yard, | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
police officers who were part of the emergency response laid | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
flowers in memory of their colleague There's growing concern | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
about the fate of civilians in the Iraqi city of Mosul | :07:40. | :07:48. | |
where government forces are trying to drive out | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
so-called Islamic State. The United Nations has warned | :07:53. | :07:53. | |
of a terrible loss of life, and tonight the US-led coalition | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
said it was behind an airstrike which is believed to have killed | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
dozens of civilians two weeks ago. Our Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
is in western Mosul. Thousands of people have arrived, | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
have walked out of those parts of Mosul still controlled | :08:11. | :08:21. | |
by Islamic State and it's a big area, in the last couple of days | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
and they've arrived really with just the clothes they're standing | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
up in and maybe a few They need food, they need | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
water, they need shelter. as the one that may be coming, | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
literally coming down that road, in the next weeks, | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
from where the black smoke is, which is where the Islamic State | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
positions are here in Mosul, they are apparently about 800 | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
metres, a kilometre, down that way. The people who have been coming | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
in have been talking They've talked about air strikes | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
that have come in in the last days and as well as killing people | :08:58. | :09:16. | |
from Islamic State, have killed They've complained that | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
the jihadists have used them as human shields but they have also, | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
in tears and anger, spoken very bitterly about the effects of air | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
strikes on civilians. I spoke to multiple witnesses | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
who said that there are perhaps hundreds of bodies still lying | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
in the rubble that The bodies of two 17-year-old | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
boys have been found at the foot of cliffs | :09:35. | :09:48. | |
at Saltburn near Middlesborough. Cleveland Police have begun | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
an investigation and say the families of both teenagers | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
are being supported Peaceful and calm, just | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
as it was before 7.00pm last night when Cleveland Police received | :09:56. | :10:06. | |
the first reports of What the police and coastguard | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
discovered on arrival was far worse, it was the bodies of two | :10:10. | :10:18. | |
17-year-old boys on a ledge. They were airlifted | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
to the James Cook Hospital where they were pronounced | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
dead on arrival. I was walking into town | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
and there was loads of police and ambulance which I thought | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
was really unusual for the area, I saw loads of police first | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
and I wonder is it the right thing A popular walking spot, | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
tonight those enjoying the area told us of the perilous nature | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
of the cliff-tops. It does have some very sheer drops | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
towards the edge but there is plenty of signage up advising to keep clear | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
away from the cliff edge. But the path does go | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
very close to it. The teenagers' families are tonight | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
being supported by Cleveland Police while officers try to establish | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
exactly how these Linsey Smith, BBC News, | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
Saltburn-by-the-sea. European Union leaders have marked | :10:58. | :11:10. | |
the 60th anniversary of the EU's founding treaty with a formal | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
declaration promising The meeting came as tens | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
of thousands of people protested in London against Brexit just four | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
days before the formal process In the last hour, Merseyside Fire | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
and Rescue say they're dealing with the aftermath of an explosion | :11:25. | :11:36. | |
on the Wirral that is believed to have been caused | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
by a suspected gas leak. They say it took place | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
in the New Ferry area and they also have a special rescue team | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
on their way. Network Rail say it's | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
suspended trains in the area. The leader of Northern Ireland's | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
cross-community Alliance Party, Naomi Long, has told her party | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
conference that another election would be worse than a waste of time | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
given Northern Ireland has no budget The East Belfast MLA | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
was giving her first address as party leader having succeeded | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
former Justice Minister It's a year since the EU and Turkey | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
agreed a deal to stem the flow Under the agreement, | :12:09. | :12:16. | |
all but the most vulnerable people would be returned to Turkey - | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
on the condition the EU would take more Syrian | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
refugees from camps there. But legal challenges | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
and bureaucratic delays have left thousands of people stranded | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
on Greek islands and the number of migrants arriving | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
is again on the rise. Paul Adams sent this report | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
from the Greek island of Keos. A year ago, these | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
waters fell silent. A deal was struck, | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
enforcement followed. On Keos the camps are | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
overflowing once more, a surge of new arrivals joining | :12:47. | :12:58. | |
those who have been trapped Abdullah arrived here the day | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
the EU-Turkey deal went into effect. A day earlier and he | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
could have moved on. But he's been stuck for over a year, | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
long enough to draw unfavourable Under control Isis maybe | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
they would kill you any second Here, they let your live | :13:11. | :13:21. | |
because it's no reason to kill you. But other things, for example, | :13:22. | :13:31. | |
they kill your hope, The Government-run camp was supposed | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
to be a model reception centre but secret filming from inside shows | :13:34. | :13:46. | |
a place migrants call "the cage" where new arrivals are held | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
for the first few hours. An intimidating first glimpse | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
of Europe and the start of a long bureaucratic process that seems | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
designed to halt them People expected to spend here just | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
a few days are stranded here for months which has impact | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
on the psychology of people. They don't have the | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
perception that tomorrow They think that this thing | :14:04. | :14:04. | |
can go on for years. In January, he learned | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
that his mother and sister I want safe country for me | :14:09. | :14:18. | |
because I lose everything, The principle at the heart | :14:19. | :14:31. | |
of the EU-Turkey deal is that Turkey, just over the water, | :14:32. | :14:44. | |
is a safe place for refugees The Syrians in particular | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
dispute that. They say that Turkey | :14:51. | :14:51. | |
is not safe for them. A Greek court is due | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
to rule on this soon. You can see more on all of today's | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
stories on the BBC News channel. And do remember, in just a few hours | :14:57. | :15:12. | |
the clock's go forward an hour, That's all from me and the team. | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
Good night. Hello. It's been a cracking start to | :15:17. | :15:35. | |
the weekend and there is more sunshine on the way | :15:36. | :15:36. |
