:00:08. > :00:10.Built with private money and closed on safety grounds,

:00:11. > :00:13.now a BBC investigation finds that many Scottish schools are owned

:00:14. > :00:26.There are an awful lot of people making very substantial sums of

:00:27. > :00:29.money out of it, which have got nothing to do with, and are of no

:00:30. > :00:31.benefit to Edinburgh schools. Also on the programme, salvage

:00:32. > :00:34.engineers prepare to try to refloat the oil rig which ran aground

:00:35. > :00:37.on the the Isle of Lewis. The leader of Scottish Labour says

:00:38. > :00:40.she's not supporting Jeremy Corbyn because he can't unite the party

:00:41. > :00:43.or win a general election. As Team GB heads home from Rio,

:00:44. > :00:47.we assess the success of Scottish And - he's climbing

:00:48. > :00:52.the pecking order. We find out why Edinburgh Zoo's

:00:53. > :00:55.best-known penguin has been promoted to the rank of Brigadier

:00:56. > :01:13.in the Norwegian army. More than 200 schools built

:01:14. > :01:19.in Scotland under private finance initiatives - or PFI schemes -

:01:20. > :01:22.are now at least partially owned by offshore investment funds,

:01:23. > :01:26.a BBC investigation has found. Parts of the projects can be traded

:01:27. > :01:29.in financial markets, like the 17 Edinburgh schools that

:01:30. > :01:31.closed earlier this year Our reporter Fiona Walker

:01:32. > :01:42.can tell us more. The inquiry into why the 17 schools

:01:43. > :01:44.in Edinburgh were found But in investigating why

:01:45. > :01:56.the defects happened... This is Oxgangs Primary

:01:57. > :01:57.when the wall collapsed. The BBC also looked at

:01:58. > :02:00.the role of PFI - the private finance initiative which enabled

:02:01. > :02:02.the schools to be built. A private company called

:02:03. > :02:08.the Edinburgh Schools Partnership. Well, it's been a shifting

:02:09. > :02:12.cast of characters - the original companies involved have

:02:13. > :02:15.sold their stakes. Parts of their original stakes have

:02:16. > :02:20.been bought and sold 13 times on financial markets,

:02:21. > :02:23.which has made those So the partnership is now made

:02:24. > :02:30.up of four companies - investment funds -

:02:31. > :02:32.and they are based offshore. But the Edinburgh project

:02:33. > :02:36.isn't the only one. There are over 300 PFI

:02:37. > :02:53.schools across Scotland. New research shows that 270 schools,

:02:54. > :02:53.the vast majority, are at least partially owned offshore in

:02:54. > :02:57.investment funds. These funds are regarded

:02:58. > :03:00.as attractive investments - This PFI analyst and critic says

:03:01. > :03:03.the profits extracted by investors are being put

:03:04. > :03:17.before children's education. The whole PFI machine is really a

:03:18. > :03:22.profit machine, a wealth machine, and there are an awful lot of people

:03:23. > :03:26.making very substantial sums of money out of it, which have got

:03:27. > :03:29.nothing to do with, and are of no benefit to Edinburgh's schools.

:03:30. > :03:31.So critics argue excess profits and lack of accountability are not

:03:32. > :03:33.in the best interests of the children.

:03:34. > :03:40.But Edinburgh City Council, for one, doesn't necessarily agree.

:03:41. > :03:47.As long as we have a contractual relationship that has a contract to

:03:48. > :03:52.do the right things by the schools, and that the pupils are in good

:03:53. > :03:56.schools, safe and are in good condition, that is something we

:03:57. > :03:58.decided ten or 15 years ago, and our job is to make sure that contract

:03:59. > :04:01.goes on as well as it can. That inquiry into the Edinburgh

:04:02. > :04:04.Schools failures is due in December and is expected to have national,

:04:05. > :04:06.political and policy implications. And if you want to hear

:04:07. > :04:09.more on that story - BBC Scotland Investigates:

:04:10. > :04:11.How Safe is My School? is on BBC One Scotland

:04:12. > :04:16.tonight at 7pm. The Isle of Lewis is tonight hoping

:04:17. > :04:19.to lose what's become a striking Two weeks after the drilling rig

:04:20. > :04:23.the Transocean Winner was blown ashore during a storm,

:04:24. > :04:26.workers plan to float it free on Our reporter Angus Macdonald

:04:27. > :04:32.is at the scene. How high are hopes

:04:33. > :04:48.that it can be done? Very high indeed. A lot of work has

:04:49. > :04:54.gone into the effort over the last couple of weeks. Men have moved onto

:04:55. > :04:58.the island, researchers have moved onto the island. We have to that you

:04:59. > :05:04.can see behind me already hooked up to the rig. Whole lot of work and

:05:05. > :05:09.effort has gone into it. Calculations have been made on how

:05:10. > :05:14.much it would take for this monster to float away. It is not just on

:05:15. > :05:18.this side of the island we have seen work today. There have been

:05:19. > :05:26.preparations coming on to receive the rig once it has been floated

:05:27. > :05:35.off. On the east side of Lewis, an anchorage for the rig is being

:05:36. > :05:42.prepared. Two tugs are headed -- hooked up. Pontoons under the rigs

:05:43. > :05:47.have been placed, and preparations have continued to ensure that the

:05:48. > :05:52.rig will float. We have 16 tanks pressurised. Two of the tanks

:05:53. > :05:56.yesterday we had difficulty with, getting the right level of pressure.

:05:57. > :06:01.A lot of work has been done, and we have confidence that there will be

:06:02. > :06:03.enough buoyancy to do the operation tonight. There is a chance the Red

:06:04. > :06:10.Bull float before the high water tonight. There is a chance the Red

:06:11. > :06:12.mark at 10:30pm. Then the painstaking voyage to broad-based on

:06:13. > :06:17.mark at 10:30pm. Then the the East Coast of Lewis will start.

:06:18. > :06:22.We will need to make sure everything is stable. We will need to make sure

:06:23. > :06:27.everything is upright, by shifting balance around the rig itself. We

:06:28. > :06:34.then have a passage plan. The rig will go round the coastline,

:06:35. > :06:43.approximately five miles offshore, with the two tugs towing it. It

:06:44. > :06:51.could be anything at between around 18 and 23 hours. A number of

:06:52. > :06:55.sightseers have gathered to say goodbye to the unexpected visitors,

:06:56. > :06:56.before a safe anchorage is found on the other side of the island. Thank

:06:57. > :06:58.you. You're watching Reporting

:06:59. > :07:00.Scotland from the BBC. Still to come on tonight's

:07:01. > :07:01.programme: Children's theatre goes on the

:07:02. > :07:06.road, and into the classroom. What happens when the leader

:07:07. > :07:09.of the Labour Party in Scotland says the leader of the UK party couldn't

:07:10. > :07:12.win a general election? Could it mean more division

:07:13. > :07:17.and uncertainty for an already Kezia Dugdale has said she will back

:07:18. > :07:22.Owen Smith in his leadership Our poiltical correspondent,

:07:23. > :07:36.Nick Eardly, reports. The Scottish Labour leader and her

:07:37. > :07:41.UK counterpart in better times. Kezia Dugdale had said Jeremy

:07:42. > :07:46.Corbyn's election at Labour leader marked a fresh start. Not now. She

:07:47. > :07:49.thinks this man is in a better position to unite the party and win

:07:50. > :07:54.thinks this man is in a better a general election. I think Owen

:07:55. > :07:58.Smith represents the best combination of radical policies,

:07:59. > :08:09.combined with a credible plan of how to achieve it. I came into politics

:08:10. > :08:12.to see a Labour government deliver a fairer and more equal United

:08:13. > :08:14.Kingdom. That isn't a view shared by everyone in Scottish Labour. Most

:08:15. > :08:18.local parties who backed the candidate are behind Jeremy Corbyn.

:08:19. > :08:22.His supporters thinks he has the backing of most members here. Jeremy

:08:23. > :08:29.offers the alternative that the country needs to have. It is looking

:08:30. > :08:34.good at the moment, from indications like canvassing and local meetings.

:08:35. > :08:42.He is doing very well. Who are some of the key players backing? Mr Smith

:08:43. > :08:50.has the support of Scotland's only Labour MP, Ian Murray. The decision

:08:51. > :08:54.was criticised by Kezia Dugdale's elected deputy. He said plotters

:08:55. > :08:59.were putting self interest first. And the new Shadow Scottish

:09:00. > :09:04.Secretary says Kezia Dugdale needs to get behind Mr Corbyn if he wins

:09:05. > :09:09.again. Dave Anderson does not speak for the Scottish Labour Party,

:09:10. > :09:14.author Jeremy Corbyn either, on the issue of the Progressive Alliance of

:09:15. > :09:19.the SNP. I work with Jeremy Corbyn all the time. We are both grown-ups.

:09:20. > :09:23.It is possible to have a free and frank debate and come to a different

:09:24. > :09:27.conclusion on an issue like this, and still work together. We will

:09:28. > :09:29.hear more from these two men and what they are offering Scots when

:09:30. > :09:32.they visit Glasgow on Thursday. Nick, where does it leave

:09:33. > :09:44.Kezia Dugdale if Jeremy Corbyn wins? Some believe the Scottish Labour

:09:45. > :09:49.leader shouldn't have publicly endorsed the candidate in this race.

:09:50. > :09:52.They say she will have to work with whoever wins, and if it is Jeremy

:09:53. > :09:58.Corbyn, the relationship could be made more difficult by her comments.

:09:59. > :10:03.Kezia Dugdale says this race is so important that she couldn't just sit

:10:04. > :10:06.by and not give her opinion. There was some suggestion that she is

:10:07. > :10:11.prepared to work with Mr Corbyn again in the future, that there are

:10:12. > :10:17.splitting the party both here in Scotland and the UK. One of the key

:10:18. > :10:22.challenges for the new UK leader, and for Ms Dugdale, will be to try

:10:23. > :10:23.and heal some of those wounds. It is unlikely to be an easy task. Thank

:10:24. > :10:25.you. The headteacher of a young boy

:10:26. > :10:28.who died, along with his mother, after being swept out to sea

:10:29. > :10:31.in Aberdeen has described him Six-year-old Lucas Walker

:10:32. > :10:34.was playing on the beach on Saturday His mother Julie, who tried

:10:35. > :10:38.to save him, also died. The youngster's 13-year-old brother

:10:39. > :10:40.Samuel, who also went to their rescue, is said

:10:41. > :10:43.to be recovering well. A lecturer has admitting

:10:44. > :10:46.killing his wife after wrongly believing he was not the father

:10:47. > :10:49.of their two children. Robert Kerr stabbed Shin Shiin Liu

:10:50. > :10:52.at their home in Newton Mearns, He was originally charged

:10:53. > :10:57.with murder, but the Crown accepted his plea of culpable

:10:58. > :11:00.homicide on the grounds of diminished responsibility,

:11:01. > :11:03.after it emerged he suffered "an abnormality of the mind"

:11:04. > :11:08.at the time of the attack. Do you have Olympics

:11:09. > :11:11.withdrawal symptoms yet? Are you missing televised dressage

:11:12. > :11:14.and athletics every night - Team GB's athletes are on the way

:11:15. > :11:20.home, but our reporter, Jane Lewis, is still in Rio, holding

:11:21. > :11:41.on to the Olympic spirit. I would imagine so, for many,

:11:42. > :11:45.especially those who have medals. I imagine the flight home will be very

:11:46. > :11:50.pleasant indeed, and I'm sure they can't wait to get home to show off

:11:51. > :11:54.their gold, silver and bronze medals. These Olympics were

:11:55. > :12:02.phenomenally successful from a Team GB point of view. They won 67 medals

:12:03. > :12:05.and finished second top of the table, behind America and in front

:12:06. > :12:10.of China. These games were successful from a sporting

:12:11. > :12:15.achievement, to be honest, because if you look at some of the world and

:12:16. > :12:21.Olympic records that were broken, it was almost 100 of them. Sporting

:12:22. > :12:27.success in many venues across Rio. Athletes played their part in

:12:28. > :12:33.helping Team GB to that historic medal tally from Scotland. 13

:12:34. > :12:36.Scottish medals were won in Rio, their best performance in an away

:12:37. > :12:42.Olympics from a Scottish point of view, equalling their best

:12:43. > :12:47.performance in any Olympics. The final night of athletics at the

:12:48. > :12:54.Olympic Stadium, and a perfect way to end a special games for the Scots

:12:55. > :13:00.competing as part of Team GB in Rio. It was nice to be in that group that

:13:01. > :13:03.had done so well. There was a lot of morale in the team, and everybody

:13:04. > :13:09.supporting each other, and it was great to be part of it. I think

:13:10. > :13:15.that's why we had so much success. In all, Scottish athletes won 13

:13:16. > :13:20.medals in Rio, four Gold, seven silver and two bronze across eight

:13:21. > :13:25.sports. This is my fourth Olympics now, and I think this is the best

:13:26. > :13:31.ever performance I have seen by Scottish athletes. It helps that we

:13:32. > :13:36.have Andy Murray, who is our Usain Bolt, but he delivered on his gold

:13:37. > :13:41.medal. We have had so many spectacular successes. It has been a

:13:42. > :13:47.games to remember. Andy Murray is the double Olympic gold medallist.

:13:48. > :13:53.Andy Murray's gold was an incredible personal achievement, and a 12 medal

:13:54. > :13:58.won by a Scot for Team GB at these games. Scottish success started in

:13:59. > :14:04.the pool. Day five and a relay silver. Three Scots on the podium.

:14:05. > :14:14.Significant medals also came our way... Silver for Katherine

:14:15. > :14:18.Grainger, her fifth Olympic medal. If you crack it, you would have a

:14:19. > :14:20.special performance. We said the day before that we believed there was

:14:21. > :14:26.something special we could do. And before that we believed there was

:14:27. > :14:34.it came. There was another gold for Heather Stanning. They are fearless,

:14:35. > :14:42.they are history makers! She defended her Olympic title. And on

:14:43. > :14:50.their Olympic debuts, there was brilliant in the velodrome, and two

:14:51. > :14:57.more golds. I got home late last night, and Jo's name was -- light

:14:58. > :15:03.was on in her room, and she was awake with her medal lying next to

:15:04. > :15:07.her on her bed! There was a Scottish disappointment too. Hannah Miley

:15:08. > :15:14.came close, and Lauren Muir gave it her all, but it wasn't quite enough.

:15:15. > :15:22.But there was also promising signs for the future.

:15:23. > :15:27.Plenty of Scottish success of their on evidence here at Rio. The big

:15:28. > :15:33.question is how we hold onto that and build upon it for the next major

:15:34. > :15:36.events on the horizon, the Commonwealth Games only two years

:15:37. > :15:41.away, and then the next Olympics in Tokyo in four years' time. There are

:15:42. > :15:46.world champions and European champions in between, so the likes

:15:47. > :15:51.of Sport Scotland and other sporting governing bodies that try to hone

:15:52. > :15:57.these athletes have their work cut out. They do not just plan for one

:15:58. > :16:01.Olympics at a time. This is a long-term plan, maybe even going

:16:02. > :16:06.back ten or 20 years. They know what they have to do, and they know they

:16:07. > :16:13.want to continue making Scottish athletes at the heartbeat of British

:16:14. > :16:19.success. How did we hope a form? There were questions over its

:16:20. > :16:22.abilities to host the games? Where were a lot of concerns before the

:16:23. > :16:26.abilities to host the games? Where games. The Zika virus was talked

:16:27. > :16:32.about. Was the transport up to scratch, and where the venues ready?

:16:33. > :16:36.There were talks of political unrest in the city, and many locals said

:16:37. > :16:41.they didn't want the games, and there were going to be a lot of

:16:42. > :16:47.protests. I think that those pregames issues, once the games were

:16:48. > :16:51.in full flow, they faded into the background, and as many of us

:16:52. > :16:56.expected, the sport became the main focus. From that point of view, Rio

:16:57. > :17:00.did deliver. You look at the backdrop here, there have been

:17:01. > :17:04.plenty of other stunning backdrops as well. These games will be

:17:05. > :17:05.remembered for a long time to come as being very special indeed. Thank

:17:06. > :17:09.you very much. Football fans still have the World

:17:10. > :17:11.Cup to look forward to, and the Scotland manager,

:17:12. > :17:13.Gordon Strachan, says "now is the time"

:17:14. > :17:16.for his young talent to shine. He's named his squad

:17:17. > :17:19.for the first of the qualifiers That game's against Malta

:17:20. > :17:35.in two weeks' time. Good afternoon, I'm great, very

:17:36. > :17:40.good. The Scotland manager in good fettle as a new campaign approaches

:17:41. > :17:42.and with its new blood. Callum Paterson, keirin Tierney, John

:17:43. > :17:48.McGinn and Barry Mackay each have just one cap. Oliver Bekker Steven

:17:49. > :17:55.but all could play a role as Scotland begin their quest to reach

:17:56. > :17:58.Russia 2018. Now is the time. They have proved to us on and off the

:17:59. > :18:06.pitch that we can rely on them to trust them. We hope over the next

:18:07. > :18:12.year that they will progress at their clubs and that will help us

:18:13. > :18:14.out. Those options were among a number of issues for Strachan to

:18:15. > :18:19.address with the media today. Some offer greater cause for optimism

:18:20. > :18:23.than others. Great options at left-back with Robinson and Tierney,

:18:24. > :18:29.but the same cannot be said of central defence or right back. A

:18:30. > :18:33.lack of a robust defender is an issue. I would say in the middle of

:18:34. > :18:37.the park with Scott Brown retiring and James McArthur still being

:18:38. > :18:41.unfit, that is an issue as well. Gordon Strachan wants the driving

:18:42. > :18:45.energy that Brown gave him, that is an issue he has to address, physical

:18:46. > :18:49.momentum in the middle of the park. It is not often we go into a

:18:50. > :18:52.qualifying campaign with a strike in such terrific form as Leigh

:18:53. > :18:58.Griffiths, so that is a real bonus for Gordon Strachan to have. Perhaps

:18:59. > :19:03.the one worried that the Tartan Army is Ross McCormack not being there.

:19:04. > :19:07.No McCormack and no Shaun Maloney either, the Hull City player was

:19:08. > :19:09.Scotland's top scorer in the last campaign but according to Strachan

:19:10. > :19:15.hasn't played enough recently to make the squad. It may not be his

:19:16. > :19:18.time, then, but this time would be a good time to wash away memories of

:19:19. > :19:21.nine consecutive failed qualifying campaigns.

:21:40. > :21:43.of children's Theatre. It has already toured North America,

:21:44. > :21:45.Ireland and Germany, but this performance in an Edinburgh primary

:21:46. > :21:48.Ireland and Germany, but this school is one of the most important

:21:49. > :21:53.to date. We in Scotland produced some of the best theatre for

:21:54. > :21:57.children and young audiences in the world, and that is not just me

:21:58. > :22:00.saying that, it is the truth, it is recognised. But I want to see is

:22:01. > :22:03.more children in Scotland seeing that world-class work that is made

:22:04. > :22:12.here in Scotland, all across the country. And these shoes are made

:22:13. > :22:18.for walking. This is one of two plays that have been touring in 22

:22:19. > :22:21.local authority areas will stop some like Edinburgh may have plenty of

:22:22. > :22:26.Theatre on their doorstep, but bringing it into the school is

:22:27. > :22:30.important. Having the opportunity to have high-quality drama productions

:22:31. > :22:33.in school, it just opens up all possibilities for learning in the

:22:34. > :22:38.classroom, and it helps us to tackle themes that might otherwise be ready

:22:39. > :22:41.difficult. For others, it will be the first experience of theatre, so

:22:42. > :22:47.it is important they are equipped from the start. It was a fantastic

:22:48. > :22:52.show, I really enjoyed it, and probably my favourite bit was when

:22:53. > :22:56.Sean stepped in the pool, because he had really nice Nike trainers on and

:22:57. > :23:01.he stepped into, and he was ready upset and it was really funny. I

:23:02. > :23:04.really enjoyed it, and I have never seen anything like it. It is really

:23:05. > :23:09.clever the way they used the shoes in the boxes and I would be happy to

:23:10. > :23:13.see it again. But the tragedy is, the tragedy of it all is... This is

:23:14. > :23:17.just the beginning of how the programme should bring theatre to

:23:18. > :23:22.15,000 children over the next few months. The ambition is for every

:23:23. > :23:30.child in Scotland to see at least one show like this in their nursery

:23:31. > :23:32.or primary school. This may sound like a bit of children's Theatre,

:23:33. > :23:34.but it's true! A King penguin at Edinburgh zoo has

:23:35. > :23:49.been made a Brigadier His first job in his promoted role

:23:50. > :23:53.of Brigadier. He inspected the soldiers of the King of Norway's

:23:54. > :23:57.guard who had taken the time out from the Edinburgh military Tattoo

:23:58. > :24:01.to present the award to him. An Edinburgh Penguin first became the

:24:02. > :24:07.mascot of the guards in 1972, because there was a certain

:24:08. > :24:10.affinity. The colours are the same, as is black-and-white, black and

:24:11. > :24:14.silver, and he is also black and silvery white in his colours, but he

:24:15. > :24:18.looks like our shoulders -- our soldiers, the stands firm and Paul,

:24:19. > :24:21.and some people say he also will looks a little bit funny like when

:24:22. > :24:24.and some people say he also will we march. During the soldiers last

:24:25. > :24:31.visit, the Penguin became a night, this time they are also making him

:24:32. > :24:37.Baron of a Norwegian island that he's not letting it go to his head.

:24:38. > :24:41.He'd not have any stardom, he has let go to his head. When he has the

:24:42. > :24:44.music or the singing of the Kings guard, he knows that is meant for

:24:45. > :24:50.him, or we think he knows that is meant to him and he walked right up

:24:51. > :24:54.to the front of the enclosure. So what is next, Emperor penguin? This

:24:55. > :24:59.is going to be a major challenge for the protocol in the royal Palace in

:25:00. > :25:03.Norway, I'm sure. But he has been promoted, the only Baron in Norway,

:25:04. > :25:07.so before they come in four years' time, they are going to have the

:25:08. > :25:13.work out what the next move up the chain is. After the excitement of

:25:14. > :25:17.today, now Brigadier and Aaron Penguin has been enjoying a relaxing

:25:18. > :25:19.swim, and we are told that later as a special treaty will be tucking

:25:20. > :25:32.into his favourite meal of sprats. It started off a bit miserable for

:25:33. > :25:36.many parts of the country, but it did improve. This was the scene in

:25:37. > :25:41.Berg Gallery this afternoon, some sunshine coming through and

:25:42. > :25:44.certainly lovely sunshine to end the day for most. You can see more

:25:45. > :25:49.clearly on the satellite and radar picture, the cloud will sing away,

:25:50. > :25:55.any showers fading. Probably the best of the weather right now.

:25:56. > :25:58.Tonight, it stays dry the most, some clear condition so chilly in the

:25:59. > :26:01.countryside but watch what happens in the south. The cloud builds and

:26:02. > :26:04.the rain arrives, a hint of what is on the way tomorrow. Overnight

:26:05. > :26:08.temperatures where we have the clear condition is perhaps down to 7

:26:09. > :26:14.degrees but elsewhere holding in double digits. And tomorrow is a

:26:15. > :26:17.soggy start across the South, heavy rain through Dumfries and Galloway

:26:18. > :26:19.in towards Lanarkshire and the Borders and moving northwards,

:26:20. > :26:26.though turning lighter and more patchy as it does so. For overall, a

:26:27. > :26:30.cloudy day, damp at times. By mid-afternoon, cloudy with continued

:26:31. > :26:34.outbreaks of rain. Temperatures around 17 to 19 Celsius, quite a

:26:35. > :26:38.humid feel at times. The further north you are, less likely to see as

:26:39. > :26:42.much rain as areas further south but still cloudy and damp and fairly

:26:43. > :26:45.extensive hill fog at times as well. For the Northern Isles, reasonably

:26:46. > :26:50.dry, brightness around, but some rain coming way later. In fact, as

:26:51. > :26:53.we head into the evening, a period of Thunder Remainer is likely across

:26:54. > :26:57.the South, pushing through the Borders, towards the capital, in

:26:58. > :27:04.towards Angus and indeed Aberdeenshire. It is brief but packs

:27:05. > :27:08.a punch for stock gone by Wednesday, lingering for a while to Shetland

:27:09. > :27:13.but it goes here to amend the most of the country Wednesday looks set

:27:14. > :27:18.fair, dry, bright and warm, 19 to 20 Celsius. It doesn't last. Thursday

:27:19. > :27:22.is a cloudy day, but not too wet. If you showers around, not as wet as we

:27:23. > :27:25.are likely to see tomorrow but it certainly looks as though after

:27:26. > :27:27.tomorrow's disappointing day, Wednesday will be the best day this

:27:28. > :27:34.week. Now, a reminder of

:27:35. > :27:40.tonight's main news. The first ballot papers had been

:27:41. > :27:45.sent out for in the Labour leader contest. Kezia Dougdale endorsed

:27:46. > :27:49.Jeremy Corbyn's opponent, Owen Smith.
