21/07/2016 Newsnight

As Labour descends into full-scale civil war, one general insists he's

Do I read widely? Yes.

Do I think about things a great deal?

Do I enjoy it? Absolutely.

At the launch of his official campaign, Jeremy Corbyn sits

Tonight on Newsnight, I'm in Cleveland, Ohio with Ben Carson,

What does he make of Ted Cruz here in the hall last night?

And what does he think Donald Trump has to do to unify the party now?

Parliament is breaking up for the summer so, as always,

the Government has dumped hundreds of pages of documents on us.

Buried within them, a nasty shock for the NHS in England.

Ten months and nine days in post, and Jeremy Corbyn is facing

the first challenge to his leadership of the Labour Party.

Having endured an avalanche of high and low profile resignations

and a vote of no confidence by over 70% of his fellow MPs,

the signs are that Mr Corbyn continues to enjoy unprecedented

levels of support among the party membership.

Today, he set about the tricky business of trying to unite

the party and see off the threat of his challenger Owen Smith,

while also setting out his vision for a Corbyn premiership.

In a moment, Evan interviews the Labour leader.

But first, did today's launch herald the breaking of a brave

new dawn or was it all a bit business as usual?

The Britain that Jeremy Corbyn was born into was a very different

Against a backdrop of epic conflict, Corbyn describes the injustices

of a post-war society, namely the five giant evils

identified by William Beveridge, the godfather of the welfare state,

as want, squalor, idleness - yes, idleness - disease and ignorance.

By the time Corbyn had grown up, he says he was championing the cause

of wage inequality, today making special reference to the Ford sewing

machinists strikes in Dagenham in 1968 and 1984.

But today he says the injustices blighting the country are different

and he has distilled them down into five new evils.

One problem is that it's not entirely clear how Mr Corbyn plans

In his speech today, for example, he talks

In his speech today, for example, he talks of companies publishing

but, otherwise, there was little policy flesh on the principal bone.

He also had a message for MPs in his party about unity.

It's the job, it's the duty, is the responsibility of every

Labour MP to get behind the party at that point.

The problem is, it seems it is more do as I say, than do what I do.

Newsnight has delved into the archives and found this.

It's Corbyn, then not even an MP, reacting to Tony Benn's failed bid

to become deputy leader back in 1981.

Corbyn blamed some left-leaning Labour MPs who abstained

But above all I think we should also be considering the actions

and attitudes of a number of left Labour MPs in Parliament.

Because I believe, quite bluntly, that those MPs who sought to abstain

in the second ballot, in reality, voted for Healey.

And I think they must expect some discomfort from the rank-and-file

in their own constituencies in the coming months.

That was then, this is now. As he said today, times have changed.

Well, as luck would have it, Evan caught up with Mr Corbyn

after his campaign launch this morning

On the morning after the referendum, you went on TV and you basically

said we need to invoke Article 50 now.

I may not have put that as well as I should have done.

My view was, and is, is that at some point Article 50

It had been a long night and you expressed it badly.

The view I was putting was that Article 50 will be

I did not mean it should be invoked on Friday morning and we should

rush over to Brussels and start negotiating.

Because, clearly, the negotiations are going to be very long

Because 40-odd years of EU membership means that almost every

piece of legislation brings in EU regulation, somewhere.

I think that's a very important clarification.

Another one that will be important is, are you open to the idea

of a second referendum, when we have got somewhere down the line,

had a chance to think about it more or are you basically a Brexit

I think we have to respect the result of the referendum.

Respect the result, which was, unfortunately, a vote to leave.

The bottom line has got to be access to European markets

for industries that are based in Britain,

clearly massive effect on, for example, Sunderland, on this.

It also has to be protection of the workers' rights that have

been improved through EU regulation, from, often,

Also, a very big raft of regulations on consumer protection

and environmental protection, all those issues.

You have given an interesting statement of your objectives,

But you missed one out, something like 80% of working class

people have a view on, which is immigration.

Many see this negotiation as a choice between more access

Now, where are you on the immigration debate?

I have made the point, all along, that the single market does include,

If you go away from that, you are not even a single market.

Do you want to be in the single market?

The point I was making throughout the referendum campaign is that

workers directive would prevent the undercutting in Britain,

would prevent that grotesque level of exploitation.

That, in turn, will have a reduction effect.

Basically, do you want to negotiate, if you were Prime Minister,

there was an election tomorrow, would you negotiate with the EU some

control on the uncontrolled free movement that exists at the moment?

I would want to see a movement of labour, which recognises

the need to have similarity of conditions across Europe.

If we say we will start restricting, it works both ways.

It will also restrict British people going to live and work in Europe.

I think that will be impossible within a single market.

But also, I urge people to think for a moment about...

I talked about the British workers in Europe that European

workers in Britain that run our health service.

I take it that you are someone who would say you want quite a bit

of access and there are other ways of dealing with it.

Let's look at the other ways of dealing with it.

Can we deal with some of the criticisms your colleagues

They say it is not policy, it is about, well, competence

Thangam Debbonaire, one of your MPs, now, she wrote an account of how,

in January, she was receiving cancer treatment, she was appointed

And then she said she was sacked the next day without being told.

So, having someone else tell her she was a Shadow Minister,

not in the Cabinet, she was working on it and then discovered

I just wonder whether that story, as she described it,

I was aware that she was receiving very serious cancer treatment.

I didn't want to disturb her treatment.

Unfortunately, my wish to appoint her as one of our arts

spokespersons was informed to her when it shouldn't have been.

I wanted to leave it until the treatment was over.

It was a question that she would start the job later on.

When she returned, after her treatment, I had a very long

conversation with her and of course I apologised to her for that.

Owen Smith, would you serve under Owen Smith?

Would you respect his leadership if he won?

Owen Smith has offered me a unopposed election to a job

Would you not be president if he won?

I'm not even sure we should have a president of the party.

It sounds to me bit like director of football.

It's a very strange thing to offer because he offered that after he had

decided to resign from the Shadow Cabinet early on,

having told me he was happy to serve in the Shadow Cabinet

He has every opportunity to do that, every right, if you want to.

The creation of a position of president of the party would

actually require a rule change, a constitutional change.

It's not in his gift to offer an unopposed election to anything.

Unless he has some control over the whole electorate that

I don't go around calling people Blairites, actually.

Tony Blair stopped being PM in 2007, it's quite a long time ago.

If you are a rebel in your party, here's a question...

People who are against your leadership.

If you are somebody who has a different view of what we need

to do to respond to the problems we are talking about,

Should you be listening to the members of your local party?

Or should you be thinking through these issues yourself

and making decisions based on your conscience?

I don't want to tell people how to vote.

It is legitimate for them to take a different view

and oppose you and say, this is a debate we are having

and we will use every constitutional means.

It is pretty obvious this is happening, that is why

I think some of you critics say they want to have that debate.

They want to talk about that that you are otherworldly.

In the last six weeks, the most important six weeks anyone

for us can remember in British political history in our lifetime,

you have been to two Cuba Solidarity meeting.

I was there for 20 minutes, and then I went back to my office

I thought it was only respectful because a lot of us had pushed

the British government to support their release and,

in turn, that actually helped to bring about the rapprochement

Well, I was thinking of the RMT Cuba Solidarity Garden Party,

actually, where you are pictured next to the Cuban ambassador.

Did you think to say to her, you must tell Castro,

the Castro brothers, that they have been in power for 57

years now and they haven't thought it necessary to hold an election

to validate their power over the Cuban people?

I focused on lots of issues, particularly to do with human rights

in every country all over the world, and I continue to do so.

Every country in the world, and that obviously includes them.

The backbenchers that are against you think

there is this slightly otherworldliness.

That you have to choose between the people of Burnley,

who are not worried about Cubans, the situation with US policy

to Cuba, and the North London intellectuals who maybe do

I just wonder where you feel your heart lies?

There are people in Burnley concerned about human

rights around the world, just as there are in north London.

They might be different physical locations, but people often think

the same and do communicate with each other.

If you win, Tom Watson, the deputy leader, has said it

may be difficult to get a Shadow Cabinet together.

Can you just tell us how it is going to work when 80%

of your MPs don't have confidence in you, and you are there?

Listen, if we win this election, and I hope we do, it will be

an expression of a lot of people of the general economic direction

It is now the biggest membership it has ever been.

More people have registered to vote in this election than the entire

membership of the Tory party in 48 hours.

That says something about atmosphere in the whole country.

I will appoint a Shadow Cabinet which will be as broad as I can.

I will reach out to those people, as I have done before.

You will accept back the rebels if they want to come back in?

Well, listen, let's have charity towards people.

Do you ever not just feel like putting the duvet

You must have thought, should I resign?

You sounded like a psychiatrist

Do I think about things a great deal?

You could be the leader of the Labour Party who oversees

How about I could be the leader of the Labour Party that

turns us into a force to change economic justice,

opportunities and hope in our society?

Earlier this evening, some startling news from the authorities in France.

It turns out that the Nice truck attacker Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel

was not, as first thought, a lone wolf.

Instead, prosecutors said today, he's believed to have had support

from five accomplices, all of whom are now in custody.

One apparently returned to the scene the following day

And after the attack, we were told today,

was a year in the planning, a year in which it never came

to the attention of the French security services.

Peter Neumann, Director of the International Centre

for the Study of Radicalisation in London, joins me

It, it's beginning to look like an intelligence failure as well as a

terrorist atrocity. It is. It is very unusual that there can be a

group of five or six people planning something like this over a period of

a year without anybody noticing. Either they were extremely good at

hiding what they were doing or someone was not paying attention. If

none of them, as we were -- as we believe were on any watchlist or

flagged for any interest, in what circumstances could they have been

overheard or spotted? It is interesting that at the very

beginning, neighbours were saying they had never noticed anything.

That may have been true. But it is very unusual. I don't know of too

many cases where six people would have plotted without stepping up.

Without talking to anyone -- slipping up. Without having been

seen for a period of over a year. Typically these people come to the

attention of some people in the security services at some point. The

explanation I have is that the French authorities are so

overwhelmed right now by the number of cases is that quite a number of

them are slipping through this is, of course, extremely. Indeed. We

know the so-called Islamic State has described Bouhlel as one of their

soldiers. Their links going back to Syria and Iraq could Lee Selby

entirely self-contained? -- do you think their links go back. This is

the question. -- could the cell. Five or six people operating

together does not necessarily mean that they were part of the command

and control is drudge of the Islamic State. We know Islamic State is

Senden people into Europe that are Europeans and that are carrying out

attacks on orders of the Islamic State. At the same time it is trying

to inspire exactly those kinds of people acting on their own accord.

It will be very important to find out. The fact that there was no

video footage in the video that the Islamic State used to claim the

attack, the fact that it took them some time to actually make up their

minds seems to indicate that their may not have been a direct link. How

portable is the lone wolf the Cesc generally? Not in this case -- how

plausible is the lone wolf theory will stop there are lone wolves. The

most famous one is Anders Breivik, the Oslo attacker from 2011 who was

really on his own, he had no contact with others. He was hiding. Really,

no one noticed anything. But in many cases, people often assume there are

lone wall is because there is no complete information. More

information comes out. -- lone wolves. The more information comes

out and it becomes obvious there were links sometimes into, and

control structure. Often we say lone wolf and as more information emerges

it becomes clear that was not the case. Briefly, we have even less

information about the attempted abduction near the RAF base in

Marham, Norfolk, yesterday. This is clearly a major cause for concern,

how plausible doesn't seem to you, as Norfolk police suggest, it is

unable to discuss terrorism? It is not impossible to discount it. Of

course, security authorities across Europe been warning as with school

shootings, with lone wolf attacks there is a ripple contagion effect.

People see things like Nice or Orlando shootings or what happened

in Germany on TV and feel inspired to do the same thing. In fact, that

is exactly what Islamic State once. It is impossible to discount it

because this may exactly be what happens. Peter, thank you.

Plagiarised spousal speeches, endorsements that didn't actually

endorse and a Republican Party Convention that's currently breaking

just about every political convention in the book.

There is, it's fair to say, little sign that Donald Trump

will be letting down the headline writers any time soon.

Emily Maitlis is at the Convention in Cleveland, where Trump is due

to make his acceptance speech later tonight.

Thanks. The last day of convention is traditionally the long-awaited

finale, the climax where you get to see the bride, except this bride has

been in his wedding dress pretty much all week. We have heard from

Donald Trump every single day so far. Last night there were

spectacular scenes on the floor behind me. Boos From the delegates

when Ted Cruz, his rival, failed to endorse Donald Trump as his

president. What was that about? It is hard to escape a sense of perhaps

puppetry. That this whole thing might be a bit stage-managed by the

Trump campaign. We will be talking to Ben Carson, a former presidential

candidate, about that in a second. First, to the drama of the night and

why it matters to Trump and his electoral chances.

Please welcome United States Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.

An electric atmosphere from an auditorium bursting at the seams.

They're waiting to see if the Texas senator, long-time rival

of Donald Trump, chooses this critical moment to endorse him.

As he nears the end, the hall suddenly realises

God bless each and every one of you and God bless

He should have endorsed Donald Trump!

This is all about endorsing the President and electing Donald Trump.

He made it very clear that he is not interested in Donald Trump winning.

He wants Hillary to win, so that he can run in 2020.

What we just saw on the convention floor was ridiculous.

Absolutely ridiculous, and I cannot endorse it.

We just booed somebody who cordially spoke.

And where was Donald Trump whilst all this was going on?

Well, he chose that moment to enter the hall.

Ted Cruz's failure to endorse Donald Trump a few moments ago led

to boos from the hall and, indeed, accusations of betrayal.

But it's also spawned a certain level of conspiracy theory.

How did Ted Cruz get that speech through Donald Trump's

campaign when it appeared on the teleprompter?

Could it be that Trump knew exactly what Ted Cruz was going to say,

or what he was not going to say, and allowed it to create even more

And today, Trump's team confirmed they were given the

If the party seemed fractured before convention, imagine how

Virtually the only thing they can still agree on is how

much they hate Hillary, as celebrated here in convention

To understand why the endorsement - what they are calling

the Lone Star Snub - matters, you have to leave

urban Cleveland and head south, to farmland.

This is Cruz country, the traditional religious

Republican heartland - no fans of Trump.

It's not as if Ohio's cowboys aren't used to irascible

and unpredictable beasts, like the bulls they try and ride

They concede Trump stands for big bucks.

It's just not the big bucks they're used to.

For most of these guys, there is an internal thing that's

They're strong, they're tough, they're hero, they work hard

and they hold to their values and their families.

Things that matter to them, that society is losing track of.

This is conservative America, not natural Trump territory.

He is, of course, a metrosexual New Yorker.

It's a little bit of, like, picking the lesser of two

And so who do we feel like will allow us to hang

onto these livelihoods, and the freedoms that we've had,

whether it's being able to pray at a rodeo, pray in school,

The Thorsall family run this event from their ranch.

Our hearts, really, are God, family, country.

And does Donald Trump say to you God, family, country?

He said, let's make America great again.

Not to pick a fight or anything but when you look at Donald Trump,

he doesn't strike you as particularly religious.

Does he fit into your image of what the priorities

But you have to look at, overall, what does that person

He might not be the perfect what you think a President ought to be.

But, for us, he stands for more of our values than any of the

Trump has harnessed white working class support

But if traditional, rural Republicans choose to stay home,

He is hoping his VP choice, evangelical Christian Mike Pence,

who talks the language of God, country and party, is the man

He spoke at length last night, but after what they're calling

Boos Cruz, no one can quite remember a word he said.

Ted Cruz explained his actions, saying he did not want to be a

servile poppy after insulting his wife and father. Many people

sympathise will stop sticking to their guns. But there are many who

don't. Ben Carson was one of those presidential candidates and I spoke

to him just before we came on air. Ben Carson, sir, was Ted Cruz

right not to endorse I think it was a splendid

opportunity for him to demonstrate leadership, bring unity

and set himself up, He said he didn't want to be

the puppy dog that came running after Donald Trump,

who'd abused and name I understand from a perspective

of somebody who is more concerned about their own feelings

than they are about the big picture. But this election is more

about much more than someone's There are many others, you know,

in the Trump movement Many of the traditional members

of the Republican Party. They need to understand

that we are talking about whether this is going to become

a country that is up for and by the government versus up

for and by the people. Were you one of those

with bruised feelings? Were you approached

by Mr Trump to be his VP? I was not bruised in any way,

shape or form. The only reason that I ever got

into the political arena at all, I had no intention of all,

was because there were so many Clearly, Donald Trump had seen

the speech from Ted Cruz three days previously and allowed it to go

ahead, do you think it was all part If it was, it was a brilliant move,

because it certainly had the desired effect of separating Ted Cruz

from Ted Cruz supporters. What do you think Donald Trump

should say to the party? I would like him, first of all,

to help people understand that we're not talking about four

years or eight years. In terms of the influence

of the next president. We are talking about generations,

because of the two-four Supreme Court picks and multiple

federal appointments, as well. People have to look

beyond their bruised feelings. Also, I hope he will get people

to understand that there are no two Yeah, but there is no two people

in the Republican Party The party has never

been this divided. But what they need to learn how

to do is put those things That is one of the things I have

to admire the Democrats about. They have a lot of

disagreements, too. But they understand if they don't

work together as a block, They also tell the Republicans,

"You guys are admirable, because you are people of principle

and you won't vote for somebody unless you completely

agree with them". And then they go home

and laugh because they say, Was it Mr Trump's problem?

Mr Cruz's problem? The party has been this way

because we have an outsider, somebody who cannot

be bought and sold. Somebody who cannot be controlled

by the traditional There's going to be an adjustment

period to it, but I think once that adjustment has occurred,

it will be like a reset. Because this country was really

about the will of the people. It wasn't about the will

of a political class. As you know, there are people around

the world who say there is no more terrifying prospect

than a Trump presidency Simply because they've been

listening to the propaganda. Ben Carson, describing to me the

sense of what an outsider does to the race, and if it needs a bit of

bedding in time. Molly is from The Atlantic. Thanks for joining us. You

have had an advance sight of the speech, you can't say too much, but

you can give us a flavour? The themes we would expect Donald Trump

to hit are in there. He is trying to present a unifying general election

message and hitting the themes that have defined him from the beginning,

chaos, disorder, crime, safety, whether the threats are internal,

from chaos in America's inner cities, to external threats,

particularly immigration but also foreign threats, the threat of Isis.

It's very much about making America safe and also trying to bring

America together, accusing the President and Hillary Clinton of

dividing Americans against each other and positioning himself as the

one that can reconcile. Hillary has been so present in this convention,

I don't think I've been anywhere where somebody that was painted as

the external enemy was actually in every single speech, 20 or 30 times?

Shear the only thing that they agree on. As we have seen in the primary

sessions, even in the convention, even with Ted Cruz, the spectre of

disunity. It is understandable when they agree on so little, that

Republican speakers would seek to rally the faithful by what they are

against. The Ted Cruz situation, is it damaging to Donald Trump? I think

it is. I think Ted Cruz reminded a lot of conservatives and Republicans

why they have doubts about Trump. It was poorly received in the hall, it

may not have been good for Ted Cruz, a lot of people saw it as part of

his very politically calculating persona. It would be better for

Trump to seemed to be the consensus choice of the entire party. There is

no way he can claim to be that after the speech that Ted Cruz gave. What

is your sense of how the convention has gone, how well it has served

Trump and his campaign? It has been an astonishingly bad convention for

Donald Trump. Normally they are a free infomercial to the American

people, you get all this prime-time television real estate to make the

positive case for your party your candidacy. Instead of that being the

message, there has been one mess up after another from convention

logistics, the potential First Lady speech, Ted Cruz's speech last night

and many other small, small things, where the message that the campaign

would like to be putting forward to the American people has really got

and stepped on. If people wanted to be reassured about to Donald Trump,

that he was a normal, credible candidate, a unifying candidate,

that is not what they saw in these last few days. That is the essence

of Trump, anyone else, you would expect to unify and bring the party

together, try to leave this on a positive note. Donald Trump has done

everything differently over the last 18 months. He has shown you can

break all the rules and still win. Can he go into this presidential

campaign with a divided party and still win? It's not impossible.

A Russian spy dressed as a sewerage worker,

A fake mouse hole drilled through a wall to facilitate

the swapping of said samples with untainted, um, liquids.

Just two of the revelations thrown up by the World Anti-Doping Agency's

recent report into a massive state-sponsored doping programme.

Earlier this evening I spoke to Sir Craig Reedie,

chief executive of the agency - known as Wada - about how it

But I began by asking him about today's Court of Arbitration

for Sport decision to uphold the ban on Russian track and field athletes

from next month's Olympics in Rio and whether it was now likely

that there would be no Russian involvement whatsoever in the Games.

I'm afraid that's the one question I can't give

Because the International Olympic Committee is the major event

organiser, which under the world anti-doping code, has

the responsibility to take these decisions.

My information is that we will be discussing that, if not deciding

How, in particular, if an organisation like the world

anti-doping agency even exists can you have such an astonishing scale

If you go back to the first really public allegations,

which came from the German television programme in December

2014, that exposed a really surprising degree of breaches

of regulation in Russia and specifically track

What has shocked most people and certainly surprised us

is that the investigation conducted by Richard McLaren indicates

an alliance between the Ministry of sport in the country and Moscow

laboratory to an extent that there is complete

It certainly shocked us and I don't think there's much doubt that it

I understand why everybody else would be shocked,

I'm still a little unclear on how the World Anti-doping

Agency could have been taken by such surprise.

There was a very complex and very well organised organisation,

to deal with Russian athletes, in particular.

So that clean urine could be substituted for dirty urine.

This could be done in the middle of the night, at the laboratory.

To the best of my knowledge, we've had no experience of this

happening at an accredited laboratory before.

Of course, except people might worry that to the best of your experience,

it could have been going on for ages all over the place.

It's only now that you've spotted this one.

I concede that is a possibility but we have no evidence of that

The other significant issue here which has worried

us substantially since the allegations appeared

was the ability to open the otherwise secure bottles

That is a very sophisticated operation, clearly organised

and conducted, we are told, by the FSB, the Russian

We have no information that any country in the world has had

Final question, Russia is supposed to be hosting the World Cup

I appreciate it is not your immediate field of expertise

but just as a personal overview, is that acceptable?

We are talking about state-sponsored doping.

The state that sponsored doping is supposed to host the World Cup.

You run the world anti-doping agency, I want to know

whether you think that state is a fit and proper place

If the World Cup was starting tomorrow, I think there would be

The state having been absolutely involved in what has been happening

over the last four years must be well aware of the difficulties

I think Fifa would want to know and would want to see

Work has been done but it is slower than it need be.

I hope it accelerates and Russia can reform.

Sir Craig Reedie, many thanks.

Parliament broke up for the Summer today, but not before

the Government had availed itself of the opportunity to slip out some

news that they might have been hoping would go unnoticed.

Well, they didn't reckon upon our policy editor Chris Cook's

The single biggest thing that has come out, so big that you could see

it from space, enormous problems in the NHS. We have news of NHS

accounts which showed huge holes. The National office of bean counters

have said they are very worried about future finances. We have this

extraordinary document called Strengthening Performance And

Accountability In 2016. It is astounding. The first thing is that

this document proposes a degree of command and control from the centre

of NHS hospitals other like we have not seen for a very long time.

Things like the amount that hospitals are on staff, they propose

to control. Hospitals that do not do as they say, they will take cash of

them. The second thing is that coming health service terms, there

is a holy Trinity. You can change the finances of the NHS, you can

change the College of services, you can change how long people have to

wait to get services. If you move any one of those things, something

else has to move, you have to put more money in, make people wait

longer or whatever else. They are absolutely prioritising getting

finances back in order. They don't really mind about waiting lists.

Quality ranks number two. The final extraordinary thing about the

document, it is amazingly optimistic. Hospitals that are

really struggling on finances, where all of the indicators are going in

the wrong direction, they are going to turn around in the next few

months. I would bet, based on this, we will see a reasonable sized

bailout for the NHS in the Autumn Statement. I don't see how they can

make it work otherwise. Many thanks indeed.

The British people have spoken and the answer is - we're out.

I love this country and I feel honoured to have served it.
