:00:00. > :00:13.This morning, in her latest video diary for this programme,

:00:14. > :00:16.Victoria talks about the impact of hair loss as a side-effect

:00:17. > :00:24.of chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer.

:00:25. > :00:34.During the course of treatment of the side-effect of losing my hair

:00:35. > :00:36.has been the distressing part for me. It has been the thing that has

:00:37. > :00:40.affected me the most, more than the mastectomy.

:00:41. > :00:42.Watch the full video diary in the next few minutes.

:00:43. > :00:44.Security services are trying to establish the identity

:00:45. > :00:47.of a masked man, with a British accent, who's appeared

:00:48. > :00:48.in a new so-called Islamic State group video.

:00:49. > :00:54.And now that your kids have consumed all those chocolates and sweets over

:00:55. > :00:57.Christmas, here's a stat that will really frighten you.

:00:58. > :01:03.Over a year us kids eat and drink a whopping 5543 sugar cubes.

:01:04. > :01:06.That's 22 bags of sugar - that's more than a kid like me

:01:07. > :01:13.We'll tell you about a new Government-backed campaign

:01:14. > :01:26.to better monitor the amount of sugar your children consume.

:01:27. > :01:29.Happy new year and welcome to the programme.

:01:30. > :01:33.We're on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel until 11 this morning.

:01:34. > :01:36.As always, we'll be bringing you the latest breaking news

:01:37. > :01:53.future as a Labour MP, after those explict messages

:01:54. > :01:57.Your contributions to this programme and your expertise really

:01:58. > :02:13.Texts will be charged at the standard network rate.

:02:14. > :02:27.following her diagnosis of breast cancer.

:02:28. > :02:48.I am ready to

:02:49. > :02:51.downstairs. It is two and a half weeks

:02:52. > :02:59.downstairs. It is two and a half is four days until the second. I

:03:00. > :03:02.just wanted to show you this. This is the first bit of hair of mine

:03:03. > :03:06.that has fallen out. I was prepared for it. Obviously it is a side

:03:07. > :03:13.effect of chemotherapy. It is slightly disconcerting nonetheless.

:03:14. > :03:17.Hello, it is Wednesday the 25th of November and I have just finished my

:03:18. > :03:23.second chemotherapy session. It has felt much better this time. I am

:03:24. > :03:28.wearing a different cold cab. It is closer fitting. A much more

:03:29. > :03:37.efficient cooling system, apparently. I have got 48 minutes

:03:38. > :03:40.remaining. After the drugs have gone into me I have got to wait for

:03:41. > :03:45.another hour and a half, 90 minutes, to keep the hair cool to hopefully

:03:46. > :03:48.another hour and a half, 90 minutes, minimise hair loss. A bit of hair

:03:49. > :03:52.has been coming out but not that much at this stage. I have not had a

:03:53. > :03:54.bad headache like the last time. Perhaps it is because I am more used

:03:55. > :03:58.to it or I know what to expect. But Perhaps it is because I am more used

:03:59. > :04:05.compared to the last time it is 50% better. I have been much more alert.

:04:06. > :04:14.Not as sleepy. Just a bit more cheerful, really.

:04:15. > :04:21.If you feel polling, stop me. I don't know how good this fellow is

:04:22. > :04:26.going to be. I might need to defrost it a bit. OK. Just finished chemo.

:04:27. > :04:32.Finished wearing a cold cab. Just taking it off now. Hopefully I am

:04:33. > :04:42.going to show you some ice in the hat. A little bit on the top of your

:04:43. > :04:48.head. Hopefully you can see that. Not much in there. A little bit. If

:04:49. > :04:58.I'd just do it on the top of my head, their icicles, rather? Wow!

:04:59. > :05:02.That is just how proof -- proof of how cold it gets.

:05:03. > :05:08.A couple of days after the second chemo. I have had lots of sleep. I

:05:09. > :05:12.feel like I am a routine. I know what to do. I have taken the

:05:13. > :05:20.anti-Sikh meets tablets at the right time. -- anti-sickness tablets. I

:05:21. > :05:30.feel tired. I had just washed my hair. It is a bit gross. This is how

:05:31. > :05:36.much hair has come out. That is to be expected but it is quite a lot.

:05:37. > :05:49.That is after wearing the cold Twice. If I had not won it twice, it

:05:50. > :05:49.maybe will may walk -- weigh Twice. If I had not won it twice, it

:05:50. > :05:55.than that. Horses for courses, I suppose. It is

:05:56. > :06:02.now six days since the second chemotherapy session. Like the first

:06:03. > :06:06.one, I am at the stage where I'm feeling a little dispirited. One of

:06:07. > :06:12.the things that I am finding difficult to come to terms with is

:06:13. > :06:21.losing my hair. I would say I have lost about 30 so 50% of my hair. --

:06:22. > :06:45.30 to 50%. And I am finding this hard.

:06:46. > :06:49.It is a week after the second chemo. I am back at work. It is brilliant

:06:50. > :06:53.to see everybody and be back in a normal routine. And work with people

:06:54. > :07:03.on the programme again. I feel normal again. Feeling normal is

:07:04. > :07:07.good. December the 16th. Today is a milestone in the course of this

:07:08. > :07:12.chemotherapy treatment because I had just finished the third one. That

:07:13. > :07:16.means I'm halfway through. That is quite a satisfying feeling. The time

:07:17. > :07:23.is passing, quickly, which surprises me. And if you are experiencing

:07:24. > :07:26.this, or somebody you know is experiencing this treatment, then

:07:27. > :07:34.keep on keeping on because it will pass.

:07:35. > :07:41.It is Christmas eve and it has taken me eight days to bounce back from

:07:42. > :07:49.the last session of chemotherapy. I have spent a week doing a lot of

:07:50. > :07:55.sleeping. Feeling a bit dizzy. I have a disgusting cardboard taste in

:07:56. > :08:04.my mouth. One also in my mouth. Only one. Not the end of the world. Also,

:08:05. > :08:09.I have got used to wearing a week, which is something I never thought I

:08:10. > :08:13.would say. The idea a few weeks ago of wearing a week absolutely

:08:14. > :08:17.horrified me. It represented stress, it represented something peculiar,

:08:18. > :08:24.not me, and now I can put it on in five minutes in the morning. We went

:08:25. > :08:29.to a Christmas party the other day and when I got back my youngest son

:08:30. > :08:36.whispered to me, did anybody know you are wearing a wig? It lets me

:08:37. > :08:43.crack on and get on with things, which is absolutely great.

:08:44. > :08:47.It is the end of the year and like you, no doubt, I am looking forward

:08:48. > :08:51.to the year ahead. I cannot wait for 2016 to get cracking.

:08:52. > :08:53.to the year ahead. I cannot wait for cannot. Particularly the last three

:08:54. > :09:00.days of February when chemotherapy will end. Haare! Than I will have

:09:01. > :09:04.radiotherapy. Everybody who has had radiotherapy says it is a breeze

:09:05. > :09:12.compared to chemotherapy. I have another ulcer. I had some brown

:09:13. > :09:13.mottling on my face. I have lost a little bit of my eyebrows but you

:09:14. > :09:17.fill in the missing bits with an eyebrow pencil. I have managed to

:09:18. > :09:21.preserve my nails, perhaps because I received advice that if you wear

:09:22. > :09:26.dark nail varnish it maintains them through chemo. That appears to be

:09:27. > :09:30.working. I cannot wait to get back to work, albeit briefly before the

:09:31. > :09:35.next session of chemo starts. When I started wearing a wig a few weeks

:09:36. > :09:42.ago I did not tell anybody at work I was wearing one. I needed some time

:09:43. > :09:46.to adjust. I can confirm I am now fully adjusted to it and so I feel

:09:47. > :09:54.comfortable in being totally open about it. But we are a close-knit

:09:55. > :09:56.team at work. They are a bunch of journalists. I am guessing they have

:09:57. > :10:01.sussed it. If they haven't, I will be a little disappointed, to be

:10:02. > :10:03.honest. During the course of treatment the side effect of losing

:10:04. > :10:09.my hair has been the distressing part for me. It has been the thing

:10:10. > :10:14.that has affected me most, more than a mastectomy, which may sound

:10:15. > :10:19.peculiar, but maybe not. As I have said before, everybody is different.

:10:20. > :10:31.But my hair will grow back. So that is cool. And... Yes, roll on 2016. I

:10:32. > :10:37.hope you had a brilliant year ahead. And thank you, thank you, thank you

:10:38. > :10:37.for your thoughtful and kind and inspiring messages. They have meant

:10:38. > :10:41.such a lot to me. You can watch and share

:10:42. > :10:44.all of Victoria's video diaries on our programme page

:10:45. > :10:56.or on the BBC News You Tube page. You may have seen over the Christmas

:10:57. > :10:58.period the daily Telegraph the thoughts of many of many of us when

:10:59. > :11:01.it praised her role bravery and what she is doing with her video diaries.

:11:02. > :11:03.Lots of you have been getting in touch about this.

:11:04. > :11:13.Dave Clark said that as a doctor he felt compelled to say how impressed

:11:14. > :11:18.he is by Victoria's updates. He cannot emphasise too much how

:11:19. > :11:22.important the message is. You have courageously chosen to do something

:11:23. > :11:28.wonderful. You have allowed people to see what managing cancer really

:11:29. > :11:30.entails. You have helped thousands of patient and family members gain

:11:31. > :11:36.an insight into what is to come. Andy says his wife went through it a

:11:37. > :11:40.couple of years ago. -- nine years ago. Nicola says

:11:41. > :11:45.Victoria is a woman of valour and kindness. Heather says she went

:11:46. > :11:49.through the same thing a few years ago. She never looked at herself

:11:50. > :11:53.whole year without hair. She never allowed herself to be in a

:11:54. > :11:57.photograph during that time. You are extremely brave and I so admire what

:11:58. > :12:07.you are doing to publicise this process. Rachel Hughes says hair

:12:08. > :12:07.loss is such a difficult part of cancer treatment for women. Janice

:12:08. > :12:12.Eastwood says she had surgery 12 months ago followed by chemotherapy

:12:13. > :12:21.and radiotherapy. She knows what Victoria is going through. Andy says

:12:22. > :12:25.he is luckily a healthy man. He finds Victoria and inspiration.

:12:26. > :12:30.Thank you very much for joining us today and for your comments. Still

:12:31. > :12:35.to come. Will Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn press ahead with a revenge

:12:36. > :12:40.reshuffle of his top team, getting rid of colleagues who disagree with

:12:41. > :12:45.him? We will talk to two of his MPs. Plus, some five-year-olds are eating

:12:46. > :12:49.their own body weight in sugar every year. More than three stones worth.

:12:50. > :12:55.We find out how parents can help their children cut down.

:12:56. > :12:57.Security services are trying to establish the identity

:12:58. > :13:00.of a masked man with a British accent - in a video released

:13:01. > :13:03.by so-called Islamic State militants.

:13:04. > :13:08.The propaganda film apparently shows the killing of five people accused

:13:09. > :13:14.All Iranian diplomats in Saudi Arabia - have been given 48

:13:15. > :13:16.hours to leave, after cutting off diplomatic ties with Tehran.

:13:17. > :13:18.It's amid a growing row over the Saudis' execution

:13:19. > :13:24.Sweden introduces new border checks for all travellers from Denmark,

:13:25. > :13:28.for the first time in over half a century -

:13:29. > :13:32.in an attempt to reduce the flow of migrants.

:13:33. > :13:35.All travellers are being refused entry unless they have the necessary

:13:36. > :13:38.The government is to commission the construction of up

:13:39. > :13:40.to thirteen-thousand new affordable homes on public land --

:13:41. > :13:43.in the latest attempt to stimulate house-building.

:13:44. > :13:47.Labour has accused ministers of trying to "spin" the figures

:13:48. > :13:57.And parents are urged to use a new app to keep track of sugar

:13:58. > :13:59.content in their children's food and drink.

:14:00. > :14:06.Officials say children aged between four and ten currently get

:14:07. > :14:10.through twenty-two kilos of added sugar a year,

:14:11. > :14:24.more than the weight of the average five year-old.

:14:25. > :14:27.more than the weight Victoria's diary. Leanne says, keep

:14:28. > :14:33.strong and persist with the cab. It will work. Hair will thin badly but

:14:34. > :14:39.it will grow back. What a brave and inspirational woman. Sending best

:14:40. > :14:42.wishes for your recovery. Hang in there honey. You will definitely

:14:43. > :14:46.beat cancer because I have faith in you and we will support you. Another

:14:47. > :14:54.one says, a mostly sad but inspiring video. So brave to tell us

:14:55. > :14:59.one says, a mostly sad but inspiring really is for those undergoing

:15:00. > :15:06.treatment. Do keep on getting in touch. We worried all of your

:15:07. > :15:07.messages as does Victoria. Let's catch up with the sport. Jess has

:15:08. > :15:17.the details. Only one place to start, with the

:15:18. > :15:25.cricket. All over the morning papers. This is the independent, and

:15:26. > :15:30.the times. And in the Daily Telegraph, an innings like no

:15:31. > :15:33.others. Celebrating Ben Stokes's colossal double century in the

:15:34. > :15:40.second test against South Africa yesterday, he made 258, and let me

:15:41. > :15:44.read some statistics for you. It is the fastest double century by an

:15:45. > :15:52.English batsman in history and the highest Test innings by a number

:15:53. > :15:55.six. He hit an extraordinary 11 sixes. Extraordinary. Excited to say

:15:56. > :16:01.we will be speaking to his dad at 10:30am. What a proud that he must

:16:02. > :16:04.be. Just a couple of football lines elsewhere in sport. Chelsea interim

:16:05. > :16:07.boss Guus Hiddink believes his team can still make the top four and

:16:08. > :16:13.qualify for the Champions League after they beat Crystal Palace 3-0.

:16:14. > :16:18.Tottenham drew 1-1 with Everton and keep their place in the top four.

:16:19. > :16:22.Gary Anderson in the dance is still the PDC world champion after beating

:16:23. > :16:26.Adrian Lewis. He joins a handful of players to have won the crown for a

:16:27. > :16:29.second time. All that and more at 10am. Thank you remarked, see you

:16:30. > :16:32.later. New year, new Labour

:16:33. > :16:34.infighting over a potential Leader Jeremy Corbyn seemingly wants

:16:35. > :16:49.to bolster his position by moving Diane Abbott has called its nonsense

:16:50. > :16:55.and dismissed figures she could be the new Shadow Foreign Secretary.

:16:56. > :16:58.The man currently in the job, Hilary Benn, is thought to be at risk for

:16:59. > :17:04.It is now time for us to do our bit in Syria.

:17:05. > :17:07.That is why I ask my colleagues to vote for this motion

:17:08. > :17:13.We can talk to two new Labour MPs now,

:17:14. > :17:21.Wes Streeting says a "revenge reshuffle" would be the worst

:17:22. > :17:28.And Clive Lewis is a key Corbyn backer, who has been tipped

:17:29. > :17:30.to replace Maria Eagle as Shadow Defence Minister.

:17:31. > :17:36.Thank you both for coming in. Tell us first of all, is this something

:17:37. > :17:41.that you've been sounded out about? I haven't been sounded out at all,

:17:42. > :17:46.and I would be disappointed if this was dropped on me from a great

:17:47. > :17:50.height of five minutes before. I haven't been spoken to by anyone so

:17:51. > :17:55.I think it is complete speculation. Would you want to do it? I would

:17:56. > :18:00.not. Why not? I have been an MP for eight months and I am already on the

:18:01. > :18:04.Shadow front bench, it is a steep learning curve being an MP and even

:18:05. > :18:07.more being on the front bench. I think I want to pace myself, like

:18:08. > :18:12.most people that come into Parliament and that is my honest

:18:13. > :18:16.opinion. If you were offered, would you say no? If Jeremy Corbyn offered

:18:17. > :18:20.me that and said, look, I need you to do it, this is essential that you

:18:21. > :18:23.do it, I would have to think about it. But to be quite frank, no. My

:18:24. > :18:28.initial inclination would be it. But to be quite frank, no. My

:18:29. > :18:32.no. You don't think your experience is enough? I have only been in the

:18:33. > :18:38.job eight months. But this is speculation and I wanted to pick up

:18:39. > :18:41.on the revenge reshuffle as it is being framed, I think if David

:18:42. > :18:45.Cameron had a reshuffle, it would just be called a reshuffle. Critical

:18:46. > :18:49.leaders throughout the history of the Parliamentary Labour Party have

:18:50. > :18:55.made reshuffle is, that's what they do, try to manage their Shadow

:18:56. > :18:59.Cabinet. In 2001 Tony Blair in effect demoted Robin Cook because of

:19:00. > :19:06.his staunchly pro-European position. That is about managing how your

:19:07. > :19:11.Shadow Cabinet works and that's what Jeremy Corbyn has every right to do.

:19:12. > :19:12.Shadow Cabinet works and that's what We are like a family in labour. Me

:19:13. > :19:17.and Wes might have slightly different views but by and large our

:19:18. > :19:20.principles hold us together. But sometimes in families you get

:19:21. > :19:25.differences of opinion, like you do at Christmas, people have arguments.

:19:26. > :19:29.The mechanism we used to sort that out is called democracy. We had a

:19:30. > :19:32.democratic election and Jeremy Corbyn won and it is his prerogative

:19:33. > :19:35.as leader not to show revenge but his prerogative as leader to be able

:19:36. > :19:40.to manage and shape the Shadow Cabinet. One of the benefits and

:19:41. > :19:47.perks of being the leader, to shake that Shadow Cabinet, and he is

:19:48. > :19:50.entitled to do that without it being referred to as revenge. Wes, you

:19:51. > :19:53.think it would be a terrible start to the new year to go ahead with a

:19:54. > :19:59.reshuffle, why? We are five months away from crucial elections in this

:20:00. > :20:02.country, and I was out this morning campaign for said he can't I wish

:20:03. > :20:08.that was the issue we were talking about this morning. We have issues

:20:09. > :20:13.across the country. I don't want to see Labour MPs thrown on the

:20:14. > :20:17.scrapheap because we were too busy talking about ourselves

:20:18. > :20:19.scrapheap because we were too busy structures and personalities when we

:20:20. > :20:22.should be talking about the issues facing the country. I think there

:20:23. > :20:30.are two possibilities in the next couple of weeks. Either we are going

:20:31. > :20:32.to see the sort of wide-ranging movement of people, particularly

:20:33. > :20:38.those who disagree with Jeremy Hunt issues like Syria, or Jeremy will

:20:39. > :20:41.reflect on what has been said by colleagues, calm things down and

:20:42. > :20:46.maybe have some minor changes -- those who disagree with Jeremy on

:20:47. > :20:50.issues like Syria. At identity it can justify the briefing from the

:20:51. > :20:54.top of the party over the Christmas period which has been briefing

:20:55. > :20:58.against people who had defences with Jeremy, whether Hilary Benn on Syria

:20:59. > :21:02.or Maria Eagle on Trident. If readers want to conduct reshuffle

:21:03. > :21:06.is, of course they should. But I think Jeremy needs to rein in some

:21:07. > :21:11.of those around him busy briefing against colleagues. That is what has

:21:12. > :21:14.given rise to the revenge reshuffle? Absolutely, and I think two things

:21:15. > :21:23.have happened in the media. One is that speculation, this briefing has

:21:24. > :21:29.led to wider speculation. Undoubtedly, when you have as many

:21:30. > :21:33.newspapers as we had over Christmas citing sources close to Jeremy

:21:34. > :21:35.Corbyn, there is no doubt there has been aggressive briefing against

:21:36. > :21:40.members of the Shadow Cabinet and that is very disappointing. I know

:21:41. > :21:46.that over Christmas we've had people like Michael Dugher talking about

:21:47. > :21:50.culture, and the gender of toys, making sure that girls have the

:21:51. > :21:57.right sort of role models. We've had people talking like Kerry McCarthy,

:21:58. > :22:04.children's mental health. All of these stories have really been lost.

:22:05. > :22:08.The quote from Michael Dugher that has been picked up is him talking

:22:09. > :22:15.about the Labour Party appearing like a cult. I think one of the

:22:16. > :22:21.things that has come out of the last Shadow Cabinet, appointments for

:22:22. > :22:26.many members, briefing is going on across the political spectrum. I

:22:27. > :22:29.think it is about discipline. And that's something the party is

:22:30. > :22:34.suffering a severe lapse of. And that is not restricted to one wing

:22:35. > :22:41.of the party. I also think, having been a former journalist, I know

:22:42. > :22:42.over the Christmas period it is slim pickings in terms of news stories. I

:22:43. > :22:46.had journalists phoning me up constantly asking me what is going

:22:47. > :22:49.to happen, do you think this or that will happen. I said I don't know.

:22:50. > :22:54.This could happen, that could happen, I simply don't know. And

:22:55. > :22:57.then you find those comments and so on are being turned into people

:22:58. > :23:04.close to Jeremy Corbyn saying a, B and C. But you kind of brush it all

:23:05. > :23:09.off, but King Power Stadium former Labour minister says she has never

:23:10. > :23:11.seen the party in such a deplorable state, you've got to have an

:23:12. > :23:20.opposition and we What we have to be very careful of

:23:21. > :23:26.here is that over the Christmas period people worth phoning me up as

:23:27. > :23:31.a Shadow Minister period people worth phoning me up as

:23:32. > :23:36.but they were not asking me about floods, they were asking me about

:23:37. > :23:40.Jeremy Corbyn's reshuffle. I don't think it's fair to blame simply

:23:41. > :23:43.Jeremy Corbyn. He is the leader of the Labour Party and entitled to

:23:44. > :23:48.make changes to the Shadow Cabinet. If we accept that then this is a

:23:49. > :23:52.nonstory. I think where Wes is right is that what we want to see and we

:23:53. > :23:57.will continue to seek a broad Shadow Cabinet. There will be differences

:23:58. > :24:00.of opinion. You can't have a politburo of a Shadow Cabinet, it

:24:01. > :24:03.does not work, there are not enough people around Jeremy Corbyn to do

:24:04. > :24:09.that. He has to reach out and he has. The initial Shadow Cabinet was

:24:10. > :24:12.brave and inclusive. I think the Shadow Cabinet we will have

:24:13. > :24:16.afterwards will also be open and inclusive but it is about managing

:24:17. > :24:19.it in a way that makes sure those messages can come out and do work.

:24:20. > :24:23.At the moment there has been a lack of discipline across the party and

:24:24. > :24:29.in the Shadow Cabinet. We need to get our act together, I completely

:24:30. > :24:36.agree. In my city of Norwich, we have been on Black about twice

:24:37. > :24:39.ready. We have flooding across vast swathes of the North. We have a

:24:40. > :24:45.government failing on climate change, on renewables. There is so

:24:46. > :24:48.much to attack this government on. We want to do this. We can blame the

:24:49. > :24:51.much to attack this government on. sort ourselves out and that means

:24:52. > :24:57.discipline across the party. Wes? My problem is I don't really blame

:24:58. > :25:01.media, I think these rooms are entirely self-inflicted.

:25:02. > :25:02.media, I think these rooms are lot of time reading the newspapers

:25:03. > :25:05.over Christmas, lot of time reading the newspapers

:25:06. > :25:11.to actually read newspapers and lot of time reading the newspapers

:25:12. > :25:15.the party. I think a lot happened when Jeremy Corbyn was on holiday,

:25:16. > :25:18.so I'm not saying he has been picking up the phone, I'm sure he

:25:19. > :25:25.has better things to do with his time. But I think there are some

:25:26. > :25:25.people around Jeremy who gets carried away and he needs to rein

:25:26. > :25:30.them in. It is actually there are loads of issues we could be taking

:25:31. > :25:33.the Tories to task on. Identifying they are unbeatable, I think they

:25:34. > :25:40.have some real problems of their own. Looking at Europe for example.

:25:41. > :25:43.What is the way to refocus attention, would you say to Jeremy

:25:44. > :25:48.Corbyn don't go ahead with any reshuffle? That's it. When he got

:25:49. > :25:49.elected he said he would build a broad

:25:50. > :25:56.elected he said he would build a the way to move forward. I think it

:25:57. > :26:02.is up to Jeremy now what he does with the Shadow

:26:03. > :26:02.is up to Jeremy now what he does But is it in Labour's best interests

:26:03. > :26:03.for there not But is it in Labour's best interests

:26:04. > :26:16.political party having a with eight numbers, but it is looked

:26:17. > :26:19.at who is moving where and why and I accept that.

:26:20. > :26:24.at who is moving where and why and I described it as a revenge

:26:25. > :26:29.at who is moving where and why and I it. It is just a reshuffle. Wes says

:26:30. > :26:33.that is coming from all the briefing coming out of the party? If we

:26:34. > :26:34.accept that briefing has come from across the party, the problem I

:26:35. > :26:44.think many of my members have about across the party, the problem I

:26:45. > :26:47.relevance of the Shadow Cabinet. Wes will say

:26:48. > :26:47.relevance of the Shadow Cabinet. Wes Corbyn, I will say it is

:26:48. > :26:52.relevance of the Shadow Cabinet. Wes of discipline is not constricted to

:26:53. > :26:56.one side of the party, it of discipline is not constricted to

:26:57. > :27:01.sorted out. You are both new of discipline is not constricted to

:27:02. > :27:08.with that limited experience under your belt as MPs, how has it changed

:27:09. > :27:12.your perspective on politics, do you feel disillusioned? Is this

:27:13. > :27:17.democracy in action? This doesn't feel very much like new politics to

:27:18. > :27:21.me at the moment. And I think that there are lots of ways, even in

:27:22. > :27:27.opposition, you can make a real difference to people's lives, by

:27:28. > :27:30.fundamentally focusing on the issues that matter to them. I have issues

:27:31. > :27:33.in my local NHS, issues around people commuting, school places

:27:34. > :27:37.crunch being felt by parents. These are the sorts of issues I want us to

:27:38. > :27:41.be focusing on. There is a debate to be had about the Labour Party but it

:27:42. > :27:45.would be better to have that debate in an open, how and inclusive way.

:27:46. > :27:48.That's one of the reasons why I found the framing around this we

:27:49. > :27:54.shuffle so unnecessary and self-destructive. I agree in terms

:27:55. > :27:57.of looking at the issues with the elections coming in May. Elections

:27:58. > :28:02.in Scotland, local elections across elections coming in May. Elections

:28:03. > :28:04.the country, a Conservative Party which I think is undermining

:28:05. > :28:08.democracy, hurting the poorest and most vulnerable. There are lots of

:28:09. > :28:13.issues where we can take the fight to them. But I also think it is

:28:14. > :28:16.important as a party that we begin to accept that our party has

:28:17. > :28:23.shifted, it has changed, the centre of gravity has changed. Some people

:28:24. > :28:30.in the PLP have not accepted that but I think the vast majority of the

:28:31. > :28:34.Labour Party have accepted it. Many of us are now becoming tired of what

:28:35. > :28:41.seems to be the incessant inward narcissistic outlook. And what we

:28:42. > :28:44.want to see is the party Unite, come together and take on the people we

:28:45. > :28:50.were put here to take on, the Tories. Thank you very much, and let

:28:51. > :28:52.us know your thoughts on that as well as everything else we are

:28:53. > :29:00.talking about here today. Also still to come, we will have the

:29:01. > :29:06.latest news, and in sport, after Ben Stokes's record-breaking innings

:29:07. > :29:10.hitting the fastest 250, we will talk to his dad who was there in

:29:11. > :29:13.Cape Town to watch his son. Here are some of the records he and his

:29:14. > :29:48.partner Jonathan Bester broke yesterday.

:29:49. > :29:51.Some British children are eating their own body weight

:29:52. > :29:54.in sugar every year - that's almost 5,500 sugar cubes,

:29:55. > :29:58.which is the weight of an average five year old.

:29:59. > :30:05.Over a year us kids eat and drink a whopping 5543 sugar cubes.

:30:06. > :30:12.That's more than a kid like me weighs, and I'm five.

:30:13. > :30:16.Sugar is lurking in our everyday food and drinks.

:30:17. > :30:21.Just one can of cola contains nine whole sugar cubes.

:30:22. > :30:25.Because we eat and drink too much sugar we get painful toothache

:30:26. > :30:30.Thousands of us even end up in hospital, having

:30:31. > :30:36.We may look fine on the outside but too much sugar can lead

:30:37. > :30:39.to the build-up of harmful fat on the inside that we can't see.

:30:40. > :30:42.This fat can cause serious diseases as we grow older including type two

:30:43. > :30:53.diabetes, some cancers and even heart disease.

:30:54. > :30:56.Now parents are being urged to control the amount

:30:57. > :30:59.of sugar their families eat by using a new app being launched

:31:00. > :31:03.today by the Government-backed health campaign Change4life.

:31:04. > :31:06.It logs all the sugar contained in the food and drinks you consume,

:31:07. > :31:09.and lets you know if you or your kids are going over

:31:10. > :31:13.It's being backed by the singer and TV presenter, Jamelia,

:31:14. > :31:15.who has two children aged 14 and ten.

:31:16. > :31:21.She joins us now along with Amanda Ursell, a nutritionist.

:31:22. > :31:33.Thank you both are coming in. Tell us how you got involved, Jamelia? I

:31:34. > :31:39.was asked to be a part of the campaign. It was perfect timing. It

:31:40. > :31:45.is fantastic. I have become quite concerned with the amount of hidden

:31:46. > :31:49.sugars my daughter were consuming. It has been talked about a lot. I

:31:50. > :31:54.went to the dentist with my daughter. She needed a filling. I

:31:55. > :31:59.was like, I don't know how because she does not have sugar. The dentist

:32:00. > :32:03.kind of said, does she need these kinds of yoghurt and cereal bars? I

:32:04. > :32:09.was thinking these were healthy things. Would you find out there are

:32:10. > :32:13.hidden sugars. It was fantastic for me to be asked to do this campaign.

:32:14. > :32:17.Not only am I being a part of something great, I was being

:32:18. > :32:23.educated myself. I think it is very important. The sort of things you

:32:24. > :32:28.are talking about as things a lot of parents think our healthy. What

:32:29. > :32:33.changes have you implemented? In all honesty, this application has been

:32:34. > :32:38.fantastic. We have been using it over Christmas a lot. A lot of

:32:39. > :32:47.shocks and surprises. Using the app it is so simple. It is a case of

:32:48. > :32:55.scanning the bar code and it tells you. Can you show us? Yes. Of

:32:56. > :33:03.course. Examples of drinks which are typical. We don't need to refer to

:33:04. > :33:12.the brands. This is a pouch drink. Five cubes of sugar. What does it

:33:13. > :33:21.say on the pack? Does not tell you on the pack. The sugar content is

:33:22. > :33:28.usually in grams. Being told there are five cubes of shiver... To me

:33:29. > :33:34.that is a lot of sugar. I definitely do not intend to be giving that to

:33:35. > :33:35.my children. It is these kinds of do not intend to be giving that to

:33:36. > :33:40.things that are causing the problems that we are seeing. My child is

:33:41. > :33:45.definitely one of those consuming a five-year-old child's wait worth of

:33:46. > :33:51.sugar. How easy is it to make informed choices when a lot of the

:33:52. > :33:57.choices we are making we think our healthy? It is a lot easier now with

:33:58. > :34:00.this app. I got involved as well. I trained as a dietician. You would

:34:01. > :34:10.think I would know what I was doing. Yet there were surprises to me, too.

:34:11. > :34:11.When you learn that children are having three times the amount of

:34:12. > :34:18.shiver that this recommends as a maximum, 60 grams a day, when they

:34:19. > :34:24.should be having 19 grams... 5500 sugar cubes, as you saw in that

:34:25. > :34:29.wonderful film, which I think is a great film to watch because it would

:34:30. > :34:34.be brings it home. It is just standing back and saying, OK, a

:34:35. > :34:38.little bit here, a little bit there. There is a temptation to fall into

:34:39. > :34:45.the filling it does not matter. It does add up. When Jamelia and I were

:34:46. > :34:49.making the film for a miniseries, we had split pot yoghurt and both of us

:34:50. > :34:56.nearly fell over backwards when we found there were nearly 20 grams of

:34:57. > :34:59.shiver at -- shiver in the yoghurt. For a four to six-year-olds that is

:35:00. > :35:04.more than their day's sugars, which is 19 grams. That is five cubes of

:35:05. > :35:12.sugar. When you get to the seven to ten-year-olds that is six cubes. A

:35:13. > :35:20.muffin as 20 grams of sugar. The messages we have known for a long

:35:21. > :35:26.time about healthy eating. It is difficult to grasp it until it is

:35:27. > :35:32.spelt out. I think that is one of the things that is most important,

:35:33. > :35:37.to simplify the information. I am one of these parents who, I am doing

:35:38. > :35:43.the school run, I feel like I have not got the time to check the sugar

:35:44. > :35:48.content of everything. But having a nap on my phone that allows me to

:35:49. > :35:52.check. I checked something in the car the other day. The girls had

:35:53. > :35:58.this water. We were like, OK, we cannot have that again. They are

:35:59. > :36:04.loving using the app. My girls are 14 and ten. They are aware of the

:36:05. > :36:12.hazards associated with too much sugar. I really do think it is

:36:13. > :36:15.fantastic. I think it is great. It also allows them to be more aware.

:36:16. > :36:21.That is what we need to encourage. It is not only educating parents. It

:36:22. > :36:25.is informing our children so they go on to live lives as healthy adults.

:36:26. > :36:32.If it becomes simple and clear to apply, do you think there is an EA

:36:33. > :36:39.excuse for someone to let their child have too much sugar? -- any

:36:40. > :36:44.excuse. I am definitely not in the way of making anybody feel bad. I

:36:45. > :36:49.understand that we have time constraints, we have some money

:36:50. > :36:51.pressures as parents. But I do believe that if something is offered

:36:52. > :36:55.to us, believe that if something is offered

:36:56. > :37:01.for free, we should. I want to do the best for my children. I

:37:02. > :37:04.for free, we should. I want to do lifestyle. I think having something

:37:05. > :37:08.at my fingertips is a fantastic asset. I definitely would like to

:37:09. > :37:13.take advantage. I would like to encourage other parents to do the

:37:14. > :37:21.same. You said before that shops should not stop plus size clothes. I

:37:22. > :37:25.did not exactly say that. I will not go into the description of it. Is

:37:26. > :37:29.there go into the description of it. Is

:37:30. > :37:35.would suggest is that we all become aware and conscious of our health,

:37:36. > :37:38.the future of our children and ourselves. It is very important to

:37:39. > :37:43.encourage society to be healthy. I don't want my children to have any

:37:44. > :37:49.health risks in the future and I don't want to contribute to that. I

:37:50. > :37:49.feel we need to take care of ourselves and take care of each

:37:50. > :37:54.other. That is important. ourselves and take care of each

:37:55. > :37:56.really good point. When we talk about sugar, it has got these hidden

:37:57. > :38:02.effects. It about sugar, it has got these hidden

:38:03. > :38:10.know that. But also, too much about sugar, it has got these hidden

:38:11. > :38:13.does lead to a risk of obesity. As the film showed, you don't actually

:38:14. > :38:19.see the damage it is causing. When fat

:38:20. > :38:21.see the damage it is causing. When increases the risk of heart disease,

:38:22. > :38:26.type certain cancers. As a parent they

:38:27. > :38:35.are things you don't think about when they are having a lollipop. You

:38:36. > :38:35.are right. Being informed as a parent and being given this simple

:38:36. > :38:43.information is Raly helpful because it brings it right back down to the

:38:44. > :38:45.grassroots. How you feed your children is going to affect them

:38:46. > :38:48.now, children is going to affect them

:38:49. > :38:53.with their health. Giving children the opportunity to take control of

:38:54. > :38:58.with their health. Giving children themselves. Should there be a sugar

:38:59. > :39:05.tax? I think anything that promotes a healthy outcome for our children

:39:06. > :39:09.is worth it. I really do. A lot of parents will say and you alluded to

:39:10. > :39:14.it earlier, I am busy. To feed my children more healthily is

:39:15. > :39:21.expensive. What do you say to parents who say that? Honestly, I

:39:22. > :39:28.think my children are worth the effort. I don't think it takes too

:39:29. > :39:33.long. I am on the phone, I am on Twitter, I am an Instagram. I have

:39:34. > :39:36.time for a social media. I have time to use my app and check whether or

:39:37. > :39:41.not I'm giving my children too much sugar. It is as simple as that. Is

:39:42. > :39:49.it bad parenting if you do not take it seriously enough? I genuinely

:39:50. > :39:52.don't think it is bad parenting. It is not about telling anybody they

:39:53. > :39:57.are a bad parent or anything like that. We need to continue to

:39:58. > :40:04.educate, to educate each other, to be educated, to take our lives

:40:05. > :40:07.seriously. It is New Year and everyone is so hell-bent on renewing

:40:08. > :40:12.themselves and rejuvenating themselves, why not include your

:40:13. > :40:15.children in that? If you take your kids along with you it makes the

:40:16. > :40:24.difference. That is the difficulty for any parent. Of course. Thank you

:40:25. > :40:26.both. We are going to introduce one of your old friends now. We are

:40:27. > :40:37.going to talk about the weather. It is lovely to see you. Nice to see

:40:38. > :40:46.you without your dance shoes as well! Fabulous shoes. Jamelia always

:40:47. > :40:52.cuts a dash, even in our trainers! Do you think you will keep up with

:40:53. > :41:02.the dancing? May be on the dance floor in a club. We will see. No!

:41:03. > :41:14.You could have told me this was going to happen. Moving on. What is

:41:15. > :41:17.the weather?! Lovely to see you. Today's weather is quite unsettled.

:41:18. > :41:23.Lots of people have been asking us why we have had the weather we have

:41:24. > :41:28.had, with all of the rain and the floods. To look back at December,

:41:29. > :41:34.this is the kind of rainfall we had. Hardly surprisingly we did have

:41:35. > :41:36.problems with flooding. A lot of it is to do with the jet stream. The

:41:37. > :41:41.general trend of the jet stream in December was this. A huge great big

:41:42. > :41:45.undulation which meant we sucked in a lot of south-westerly winds.

:41:46. > :41:56.Pulling in tropical air from the tropics. When you have got warm air

:41:57. > :42:00.it tends to hold more moisture. The storms in December was all of that

:42:01. > :42:04.extra moisture landing honours. It is not surprising we had those

:42:05. > :42:09.flooding issues. We do have more heavy rain today, which could lead

:42:10. > :42:15.to some or flooding. Generally the trend for January is this. Over here

:42:16. > :42:22.we have got a big area of high pressure in Moscow. Last night the

:42:23. > :42:26.temperatures were minus 20. This is changing the orientation of the jet

:42:27. > :42:31.stream. If you remember, we had all of these undulations during

:42:32. > :42:35.December. It is now further south and it is flatter. It is taking the

:42:36. > :42:39.tropical air that we had along the Mediterranean. That is where it is

:42:40. > :42:43.good to be particularly wet. What we have instead are lower temperatures.

:42:44. > :42:48.We will not be holding as much moisture. The rain will not be of

:42:49. > :42:53.the magnitude we have seen. It does not mean that we will not still have

:42:54. > :42:57.low pressure. It will also turn colder, with temperatures closer to

:42:58. > :43:06.where they should be. We will see some snow in Central and northern

:43:07. > :43:12.areas. I did not even give you a chance to get a word in! I liked

:43:13. > :43:17.listening to you. Lucio, Joanna. You are such a sweetheart. Today's

:43:18. > :43:23.forecast is still rather wet. For the next few days they will be rain

:43:24. > :43:27.at times. It will be windy and colder than it has been. Tablature

:43:28. > :43:33.is closer to where they should be. Once again we are starting with a

:43:34. > :43:37.Met Office weather warning for heavy rain. It is for north-east Scotland.

:43:38. > :43:42.The risk of localised flooding. We're looking at 100 millimetres

:43:43. > :43:46.plus. It has been fairly persistent in the last couple of days and will

:43:47. > :43:52.be again today, tonight and tomorrow. It is courtesy of this

:43:53. > :43:56.area of low pressure. A lot of showers as well. If you look at

:43:57. > :44:00.these isobars, that is telling you it is windy. A strong wind coming in

:44:01. > :44:04.the off the North Sea. That is whipping up some large waves. The

:44:05. > :44:10.rain will turn to snow over the Grampians. Snow moving across

:44:11. > :44:16.northern England later in the day, particularly the North East. That

:44:17. > :44:23.continues into the afternoon across Scotland. Rain in the east. Still

:44:24. > :44:26.windy. As we slip southwards, it is that mixture of bright spells,

:44:33. > :44:36.In the afternoon it will still be windy but not as windy as this

:44:37. > :44:43.morning. Showers merging. Longer spells of rain in the south-west of

:44:44. > :44:47.England and South Wales. For North Wales, drier and brighter. We are

:44:48. > :44:52.not immune to a shower. Similar in Northern Ireland. Heading through

:44:53. > :44:57.the evening and overnight, we continue in this vein. Rain in

:44:58. > :45:05.eastern Scotland and eastern England. Still a lot of showers and

:45:06. > :45:08.the snow following. It will be cold in the northern half of the country

:45:09. > :45:13.by day and by night. Milder as we move further south. Note heatwave.

:45:14. > :45:19.Tomorrow the low-pressure centre is here. The winds still gusty but not

:45:20. > :45:23.as strong as today. We continue with the persistent rain in eastern

:45:24. > :45:27.Scotland. Snow on the hills. Move away from that and it is drier and

:45:28. > :45:35.brighter. They will be fewer showers. There will still be some

:45:36. > :45:40.showers around. A cold for degrees in the north to 11 in the South.

:45:41. > :45:43.I'm Joanna Gosling, in for Victoria Derbyshire.

:45:49. > :45:50.on her treatment for breast cancer, Victoria talks about chemotherapy

:45:51. > :45:56.and how hard it is to cope with some of the side effects.

:45:57. > :46:15.I have lost about 30 to 50% of my hair.

:46:16. > :46:20.Thanks for all your comments - we'll read some of them

:46:21. > :46:24.And you can see the full film and Victoria's previous diaries

:46:25. > :46:34.on our programme page victoria@bbc.co.uk.

:46:35. > :46:41.Also coming up, who is the man with the British accent who features in

:46:42. > :46:44.the latest video from the extremist group so called Islamic State

:46:45. > :46:55.threatening to attack the UK? We'll have all the details on the

:46:56. > :46:58.challenge to identify him. Can Simon Danczuk survived the threats to his

:46:59. > :47:01.political life? He has been suspended from the Labour Party over

:47:02. > :47:05.allegations he exchanged explicit text messages with a 17-year-old.

:47:06. > :47:09.We'll get reaction on those revelations.

:47:10. > :47:13.Security services are trying to establish the identity

:47:14. > :47:16.of a masked man with a British accent in a video released

:47:17. > :47:20.The propaganda film apparently shows the killing of five people accused

:48:10. > :48:12.David Cameron says nothing is more important than ensuring hard-working

:48:13. > :48:16.people can afford to buy affordable homes. Labour accuses him of spin.

:48:17. > :48:19.And parents are urged to use a new app to keep track of sugar

:48:20. > :48:21.content in their children's food and drink.

:48:22. > :48:24.Officials say children aged between four and ten currently get

:48:25. > :48:26.through 22 kilos of added sugar a year -

:48:27. > :48:34.more than the weight of the average five-year-old.

:48:35. > :48:39.Let's catch up with all the sport now and join Jess.

:48:40. > :48:53.Good morning. the second test. I am joined by a

:48:54. > :49:01.Test match special and Tait from Cape Town to

:49:02. > :49:03.Test match special and Tait from react to such an historic knock?

:49:04. > :49:08.Good morning. Anybody and Newlands yesterday knew that they were

:49:09. > :49:12.witnessing something that might only happen to a player once in their

:49:13. > :49:17.lifetime, it might be an innings you only witness once-in-a-lifetime. It

:49:18. > :49:22.was extraordinary, the fastest ever 250 in Test matches for Ben Stokes.

:49:23. > :49:25.And nobody has ever scored 130 in a prelunch session before. The most

:49:26. > :49:33.destructive innings I have ever seen. It was clear to see

:49:34. > :49:33.destructive innings I have ever players last night back at the hotel

:49:34. > :49:37.and even this morning still marvelling

:49:38. > :49:39.Really was a fantastic performance. Today South Africa hoping to make

:49:40. > :49:44.Really was a fantastic performance. dent in the first innings total of

:49:45. > :49:49.623, or 6209I should say, how are they getting on? It has been hard

:49:50. > :49:54.going for the batsmen this morning. They have not lost a wicket yet. As

:49:55. > :49:58.I say that, a B de Villiers is launching the spinner Moeen Ali

:49:59. > :50:05.backdown the ground. Boundaries had been hard to come by. There was a

:50:06. > :50:13.boundary earlier off Stuart Broad. De Villiers brings up his 50. Amla

:50:14. > :50:18.was dropped a few moments ago by James Anderson at first slip, Joe

:50:19. > :50:26.Root was the bowler. Brought on for some part-time spin. The chance has

:50:27. > :50:31.gone down. South Africa now 180-2. Still a hefty number of runs behind

:50:32. > :50:33.England. In the Premier League, Chelsea's temporary manager Guus

:50:34. > :50:37.Hiddink says a Champions League spot is still possible after their first

:50:38. > :50:42.win since he replaced Jose Mourinho. They beat Crystal Palace 3-0 away at

:50:43. > :50:47.Selhurst Park yesterday. A boost for the defending champions who rise to

:50:48. > :50:49.14th in the table. After the game Captain John Terry apologised

:50:50. > :50:53.14th in the table. After the game start of the season and admits the

:50:54. > :50:58.players let everyone down. This league has become so strong that

:50:59. > :51:02.everyone can win from everywhere. So it means that it is very difficult

:51:03. > :51:10.to get there. But as long as we play like that we can be happy, and

:51:11. > :51:13.automatically then the results will come. It is possible, still, but a

:51:14. > :51:16.long way to go. The first of the two world darts championship is over

:51:17. > :51:21.with Gary Anderson retaining the PDC crown at Alexander Palace last

:51:22. > :51:26.night. He beat Adrian Lewis 7-5 in the final which included a 170

:51:27. > :51:32.checkout in the final set. He takes a cheque for ?300,000. And the

:51:33. > :51:34.checkout in the final set. He takes World Championship continues on BBC

:51:35. > :51:41.Two today from PM. Just before I go at 10:30am here I will be chatting

:51:42. > :51:42.live with Ben Stokes's dad after his son's record-breaking innings for

:51:43. > :51:55.England. So I'll be back at 10:30am. Welcome to the programme

:51:56. > :51:57.just joined us, on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel until 11am.

:51:58. > :52:00.Throughout the programme we'll bring you the latest developing news and

:52:01. > :52:04.stories and we are keen to hear from you on all the stories we are

:52:05. > :52:09.talking about. Your contributions to this programme and your expertise

:52:10. > :52:13.really are key. Loads of you getting in touch with us this morning about

:52:14. > :52:19.Victoria's latest video diary which we brought you just after 9:15am.

:52:20. > :52:22.Laura Drake says, wow, what a brave lady. Such a huge amount of respect

:52:23. > :53:13.for Victoria, what an inspiration. This one says it did grow back, and

:53:14. > :53:21.even more profuse than before, great excitement when it started going.

:53:22. > :53:24.Good luck with the rest of treatment. The radiotherapy is

:53:25. > :53:30.tedious but a doddle compared with chemo. This one says, thank you

:53:31. > :53:34.Victoria, my journey has been weekly chemo and the most distressing part

:53:35. > :53:39.has been my hair loss. Thank you for your diary. If you want to watch the

:53:40. > :53:45.full diary or share it, you can find it on the website. We will play some

:53:46. > :53:48.more of Victoria's diary of a little later.

:53:49. > :53:57.British security and intelligence agencies are examining the latest

:53:58. > :54:02.video by so-called Islamic State. It appears to show a man and young boy

:54:03. > :54:05.with British accents. In the 11 minute film, five men accused of

:54:06. > :54:11.spying for Britain are reportedly shot dead. The man with the British

:54:12. > :54:14.accent is also seen addressing David Cameron, mocking the RAF bombing

:54:15. > :54:26.campaign against IS in Syria, and issues this threat.

:54:27. > :54:37.Our security correspondent, Frank Gardner, is here.

:54:38. > :54:46.Thank you both for coming in. What do you make of this latest video? It

:54:47. > :54:49.shows they are under pressure. This is the sort of thing they do every

:54:50. > :54:53.time they are under pressure, particularly through aerial bombing.

:54:54. > :54:58.But I think it is also a very interesting insight into the

:54:59. > :55:05.mindset, into how they define Sixtus, and how they see the West in

:55:06. > :55:09.particular -- define success. In what way? They are saying in Iraq

:55:10. > :55:14.and Afghanistan you are effectively ran away and duplication is that you

:55:15. > :55:19.are going to run away and allow us to continue -- the implication. The

:55:20. > :55:24.view that they have of the world is that the West lacks stamina, lacks

:55:25. > :55:28.the commitment, and eventually it will lose interest and they will

:55:29. > :55:30.survive and the West will decline. will lose interest and they will

:55:31. > :55:34.And that's the dangerous idea that is motivating them and their

:55:35. > :55:41.supporters. What are your thoughts on the latest video, Frank? I agree,

:55:42. > :55:46.but part of it is also trying to warn people in Iraq are and other

:55:47. > :55:51.areas under their control, don't report as. This is the fate, bullet

:55:52. > :55:58.in the back of the head for anybody who dares to spy on us. Because IS

:55:59. > :56:01.don't distinguish between citizen bloggers who are simply getting news

:56:02. > :56:06.out to the outside world of what life is like under their rule, and

:56:07. > :56:09.somebody who might be a paid-up informant for a Western intelligence

:56:10. > :56:13.agency. As far as they are concerned, they are all spies and

:56:14. > :56:18.they just want to eliminate them and warn others not to do that. The

:56:19. > :56:22.person with a British accent already being described as a new Jihadi

:56:23. > :56:26.John, how much of a propaganda coup if this? I certainly don't think it

:56:27. > :56:32.is a coup, it will probably be a short list attempt by this guy to

:56:33. > :56:36.take on the mantle of Mohammed Mohammed Emwazi, or so-called Jihadi

:56:37. > :56:39.John. It's not going to be difficult for spooks to work out who he is,

:56:40. > :56:45.his eyes are showing, his voice is not the skies, they probably already

:56:46. > :56:49.know. I doubt anybody in government will confirm it because this is

:56:50. > :56:52.somebody who is going to probably end up my guess is on a target

:56:53. > :56:57.missed in the way that other British jihadis have, who has visibly killed

:56:58. > :57:02.people on camera and threatened their own country. What sort of

:57:03. > :57:06.resources would you imagine would be being directed by now at finding out

:57:07. > :57:09.who he is and try to take him out in the same way Mohammed Mohammed

:57:10. > :57:14.Emwazi was? I think the resources will be voice analysis and facial

:57:15. > :57:21.recognition, which can be done partially with the eyes. As Frank

:57:22. > :57:27.has set I think it is very likely there is a very good idea as to his

:57:28. > :57:32.identity. And he may well already be on a target list, and he will be

:57:33. > :57:38.visited by something from the air in the near future. How would you

:57:39. > :57:41.assess our position now, after Britain got involved in the air

:57:42. > :57:47.strikes against Syria? Is this a direct reaction to that, and are we

:57:48. > :57:51.at a materially greater threat? It is a direct reaction to the air

:57:52. > :57:55.strike decision in Parliament, but are we in a greater threat? I'm not

:57:56. > :58:02.sure we are. Essentially we have been attacking IS both in Syria and

:58:03. > :58:08.Iraq, albeit at a lower level. We have attacked targets in Syria using

:58:09. > :58:12.drones. So I'm not sure we are at any greater threat. These things,

:58:13. > :58:15.the only reason that the Prime Minister could get the votes through

:58:16. > :58:19.Parliament was because they had attacked British interests in

:58:20. > :58:25.Tunisia and abroad. They have attacked Europeans. And almost

:58:26. > :58:31.certainly their supporters will be attacking us today, yesterday, if

:58:32. > :58:35.they had the opportunity. I am not sure we are at a greater threat. In

:58:36. > :58:42.fact hopefully if this campaign actually morphs into an effective

:58:43. > :58:48.strategy against Daesh we will be restricting the threat. What we need

:58:49. > :58:55.is a strategy that has the aim of destroying this organisation. That

:58:56. > :58:56.is what is missing. Once we have that, I think we will be a lot safer

:58:57. > :58:59.is what is missing. Once we have than we are now. Going back to what

:59:00. > :59:03.you were saying earlier about the perception that the West lacks

:59:04. > :59:08.stamina, that is borne out, is it not, by what has happened in the

:59:09. > :59:13.past? To some degree it is. And I think what we need here is a

:59:14. > :59:19.strategy that is short-term, that takes away the defining identity of

:59:20. > :59:25.this organisation which is territory. And that is relatively

:59:26. > :59:35.quick and easy to do compared to, for example, Al-Qaeda, which defined

:59:36. > :59:39.itself as an operationally capable operation. We must leave this, we

:59:40. > :59:47.are expecting Simon Danczuk is about to leave his home or office. Our

:59:48. > :59:51.reporter is there outside his constituency office in Rochdale.

:59:52. > :00:01.What is happening? He has just come out, here. We are live outside his

:00:02. > :00:08.constituency at the moment, this is the first time he is speaking about

:00:09. > :00:12.these allegations over the weekend. I have been in the constituency most

:00:13. > :00:16.of the week. We are getting around and doing what MPs do, meeting

:00:17. > :00:21.constituents, learning about what the issues are and things. Mr

:00:22. > :00:30.Dancuzk, you are live on the news channel, BBC. What is your reaction

:00:31. > :00:35.to these allegations. Your former girlfriend said that your drinking

:00:36. > :00:47.problems were affecting your ability to be a member of Parliament.

:00:48. > :00:53.it is not further ex-wives are ex-girlfriends to determine who the

:00:54. > :01:01.MP for Rochdale is. I'm going to have a good chat to the people of

:01:02. > :01:04.Ross Taylor by this. It is nice to have come to Sears. Thank you very

:01:05. > :01:11.much. Some of your constituents feel it would be wise for you to step

:01:12. > :01:21.down. What do you say to that? Mr Danczuk?

:01:22. > :01:28.OK, that was Simon Dan choke, MP for Rochdale. As you heard, he said was

:01:29. > :01:32.up to the constituents to decide whether he step down after the

:01:33. > :01:40.allegations that were reported in the paper over the weekend. Let's

:01:41. > :01:44.remind you what they were. He was accused of sending texts to a

:01:45. > :01:50.17-year-old girl saying inappropriate things. She said that

:01:51. > :01:54.she felt quite worried about it after she received them. Then he

:01:55. > :01:59.came out and told a tabloid newspaper yesterday that the reason

:02:00. > :02:04.he had sent them was because he had a drinking problem. A former

:02:05. > :02:10.girlfriend, Claire Hamilton, says she broke up with him a few days

:02:11. > :02:12.ago, on the 27th of December, the day after Boxing Day, because she

:02:13. > :02:18.could not take it any more. She felt day after Boxing Day, because she

:02:19. > :02:21.his drinking had got out of control and she was encouraging him to get

:02:22. > :02:27.some help. We have not heard from him about those allegations.

:02:28. > :02:30.Hopefully we will in the not too distant future. Have you been able

:02:31. > :02:40.to speak to many constituents further their views on what is going

:02:41. > :02:43.on? He was saying it is for the residents of Rochdale to determine

:02:44. > :02:48.Horwill is their MP. I spent the day here yesterday and spoke to many

:02:49. > :02:53.people. It was difficult to find anybody who felt he should stay in

:02:54. > :02:55.his position. There was a lot of negativity. A lot of people felt

:02:56. > :03:01.they had been let down. -- let down. negativity. A lot of people felt

:03:02. > :03:06.Those people who did vote for him said they voted for the party rather

:03:07. > :03:09.than him. It will not be up to them. It will be up to the Labour Party,

:03:10. > :03:12.who will be carrying out an investigation. They will make a

:03:13. > :03:18.decision on whether he needs to step down and whether there could be a

:03:19. > :03:24.by-election in this constituency. Yankee very much.

:03:25. > :03:26.Liz Thirsk is a Liberal Democrat councillor for Rochdale,

:03:27. > :03:31.And John Blundell is a Labour councillor who is backing him.

:03:32. > :03:44.First of all to you John, we heard him say that it is for the residents

:03:45. > :03:51.to decide on his future. Is it suitable for him to be an MP? People

:03:52. > :03:55.are very disappointed. They are very saddened by the way it has gone.

:03:56. > :03:59.People think it is distasteful about the way this young girl has been

:04:00. > :04:07.treated. She has had her name dragged through the Kell Brook. It

:04:08. > :04:11.is a nice episode. Should he go? Ultimately it is down to

:04:12. > :04:16.constituents. If a number of people are against him being an MP, that

:04:17. > :04:19.should be the case. We cannot listen to a select few who do not like him.

:04:20. > :04:25.It has to be about his popular support in Rochdale. He has been

:04:26. > :04:30.suspended. There is talk about him potentially being suspended for life

:04:31. > :04:36.from the Labour Party. The Labour Party should have an investigation

:04:37. > :04:39.into the conduct of MPs when it is questionable. The police have said

:04:40. > :04:44.he has not done anything illegal. Ultimately the Labour Party will

:04:45. > :04:51.have its say. As the lady said before, people vote for the Labour

:04:52. > :05:01.Party. It is not always about the member of Parliament. Liz Thirsk,

:05:02. > :05:05.former Liberal Democrat councillor, you have organised a demonstration

:05:06. > :05:13.against Simon Danczuk today. Why have you done that? Have done that

:05:14. > :05:22.based on his -- these sexual allegations. I feel somebody who has

:05:23. > :05:27.championed... Instead of telling this young girl, thank you for your

:05:28. > :05:33.interest in a job, here is your e-mail address, he carried on an

:05:34. > :05:37.affair with her online. He found out she was 17. She could have been 15.

:05:38. > :05:46.As for the police, they have not investigated it. He cannot decide he

:05:47. > :05:49.has got nothing to answer. They have to see what these messages were what

:05:50. > :05:54.the images were that were sent to him. His former girlfriend says he

:05:55. > :06:00.has been messaging other young women. The police have said there is

:06:01. > :06:06.nothing illegal that he has done. They have looked into it. You said

:06:07. > :06:16.she could have been 15. She was 17. He did not know. I am not having

:06:17. > :06:24.that. He was the one who said he did not want the whitewash. The new

:06:25. > :06:30.chief con will will not whitewash this. Until they look and see what

:06:31. > :06:31.those messages were and who else he has been messaging, we do not know

:06:32. > :06:37.what he has been doing. You're casting around a lot of allegations.

:06:38. > :06:44.I am saying he needs to be investigated. He should hand over

:06:45. > :06:48.his computer, his phone and say, here UART, I have done nothing else.

:06:49. > :06:55.I don't think he will. If he doesn't, they should take them. We

:06:56. > :06:58.have got a big problem in this time with child sexual and eight on. I

:06:59. > :07:03.have had personal experience with this. I have spoken to people who

:07:04. > :07:10.have. We know how difficult it is for kids to come through this.

:07:11. > :07:18.People in his position have a legal duty to safeguard. He should have

:07:19. > :07:23.got in touch with local authorities. He is wrong. The police have said

:07:24. > :07:27.they have looked at it and he has done nothing illegal. This is

:07:28. > :07:34.somebody who did not -- he did not meet. I do not believe they have

:07:35. > :07:37.investigated him. They have looked at these messages and pictures. I

:07:38. > :07:45.want them to look through his phone and his computer. Let's let John

:07:46. > :07:51.come in. She does not know that they have not. I believe that the police,

:07:58. > :08:01.as I am aware, they have done. The Labour Party is carrying out an

:08:02. > :08:07.investigation into his conduct. The National Executive Committee will

:08:08. > :08:11.have the final say on that. Liz Thirsk does not like Simon. She does

:08:12. > :08:18.not like the Rochdale Labour Party. She is not reflective of people's

:08:19. > :08:22.views in Rochdale. There is a lot of discontent with Simon over what he

:08:23. > :08:27.has done. He has apologised and he has said he behaved like a fool. But

:08:28. > :08:32.the idea that Liz Thirsk is reflective of these people's views

:08:33. > :08:37.is rubbish. Does he need help? He has said he has got a drink problem.

:08:38. > :08:42.If that is the case he should seek help and he should do it quickly.

:08:43. > :08:45.Whilst he remains member of Parliament, he has to work through

:08:46. > :08:48.these issues quickly. Does it undermine all of the hard-working

:08:49. > :08:53.has done to raise awareness on these issues that have affected his

:08:54. > :08:59.constituency? I hope it does not undermine the work he has done an

:09:00. > :09:04.child exploitation. They are very important things. But obviously it

:09:05. > :09:10.does register in people's heads, why did he do it? That is why he has got

:09:11. > :09:16.to reconcile with his public if he wants to remain MP. We should not

:09:17. > :09:24.have a show trial like Liz Thirsk once. Cast doubt over his conduct

:09:25. > :09:30.and make a decision. I am interested in what the police have to say and

:09:31. > :09:35.the Labour Party. At the end of the day people voted for the Labour

:09:36. > :09:41.Party and not necessarily Simon Danczuk. Has he been popular? Until

:09:42. > :09:45.now, yes. He has had the biggest majority of Rochdale MP has ever

:09:46. > :09:50.had. There must be immense pressure on him at the heart of a storm like

:09:51. > :09:56.this? Hissy somebody you know well? He is my MP and I am a Labour

:09:57. > :09:59.councillor in Rochdale. I know him fairly well. It will be putting

:10:00. > :10:04.enormous pressure on him. I should imagine he feels like an idiot. He

:10:05. > :10:15.has behaved like an idiot. He has admitted that. If it is down to a

:10:16. > :10:16.drink problem, he must address it. Some of his friends who have been

:10:17. > :10:22.quoted in the media anonymously have said it is not fair if he is not

:10:23. > :10:26.treated like any other MP. He has not been a friend of the new Labour

:10:27. > :10:32.party leadership. Some suggesting he may be treated differently as a

:10:33. > :10:38.result. I hope not. I think it would be foolish of Jeremy Corbyn to get

:10:39. > :10:45.involved. Is it being treated in an evenhanded way so far? Yes. Simon

:10:46. > :10:49.has doubts over Ken Livingstone. At the end of the day they are the

:10:50. > :10:54.Labour Party's elected representatives and they will have

:10:55. > :11:00.the final say. People in Rochdale want to hear the facts. What is the

:11:01. > :11:03.police said? What of the Labour Party said? We should not pander to

:11:04. > :11:08.people like Liz Thirsk, who just want to get at him. She is a Liberal

:11:09. > :11:12.Democrat who lost her seat. Simon could have done anything, he could

:11:13. > :11:17.have got a parking charge, she would still be calling for a resignation.

:11:18. > :11:22.She is not representative of people in Rochdale. Thank you very much to

:11:23. > :11:27.John Blundell and Liz Thirsk. Dental health standards are falling

:11:28. > :11:31.to third World levels in parts of England because of a crisis of

:11:32. > :11:40.access to NHS treatment, according to 400 dentists. They have written

:11:41. > :11:46.to be treated in hospital for a rotten teeth than any other medical

:11:47. > :11:54.reason. Doctor Tony Clubb coin is a dentist in height. What moved you to

:11:55. > :12:01.take action on this? Good morning. The whole dental profession has been

:12:02. > :12:06.devastated about the levels of child dental health and adult dental

:12:07. > :12:11.health for a number of years. Our protestations and requests sent to

:12:12. > :12:16.people who run the NHS dental system seemed to have fallen on deaf ears.

:12:17. > :12:21.There is must know prevention. Now we have such a sorry state that the

:12:22. > :12:25.number one reason any child under ten is likely to be hospitalised,

:12:26. > :12:29.the number one medical reason, is rotten teeth. That is a national

:12:30. > :12:36.disgrace. What needs to be done to change it? What has been the main

:12:37. > :12:41.factor? The biggest problem is they raise a massive level of public

:12:42. > :12:45.ignorance about dental prevention. The national dental strategy is not

:12:46. > :12:47.aimed at prevention. It is aimed at trying to put out fires. If you are

:12:48. > :12:52.putting out one fire and trying to put out fires. If you are

:12:53. > :12:56.fires start, that is useless. In fact the fire service did a

:12:57. > :13:02.wonderful prevention media campaign to inform the public fires, smoke

:13:03. > :13:07.inhalation, Rav the lowest they have ever been. There is no reason this

:13:08. > :13:13.cannot be done for dentistry. Children born today should not be

:13:14. > :13:17.hospitalised for rotten teeth. Does it boils down to the subject we have

:13:18. > :13:24.been talking about already today, sugar, and cutting down the intake?

:13:25. > :13:30.For sure, sugar is the number-1 reason for causing tooth decay and

:13:31. > :13:35.eventually and bacteria. Sugar is hidden in so many foods. It is not

:13:36. > :13:39.obvious to people. I am not just talking about a sweet and treats.

:13:40. > :13:46.Healthy snacks that say on the packet, healthy, and approved by

:13:47. > :13:50.mothers, sometimes have 60% or 70% sugar in there. People do not

:13:51. > :14:01.realise how many sugar attacks they are having on their teeth. The

:14:02. > :14:06.damage is already being done. That damage does not happen overnight.

:14:07. > :14:09.What has been going on for a child to get to the stage of being

:14:10. > :14:13.hospitalised? Basically it is the frequency of sugar attacks. A lot of

:14:14. > :14:17.people do not realise that modern dentistry is about prevention,

:14:18. > :14:20.regular visits, stopping problems before they start. If people are

:14:21. > :14:25.bringing children along to the dentist, in pain, in a distressing

:14:26. > :14:29.situation, they will hardly be receptive to prevention advice. It

:14:30. > :14:34.is wonderful that you guys are highlighting this to the public so

:14:35. > :14:38.they realise they need to prevent these problems. There is no central

:14:39. > :14:48.strategy. What about six monthly checkups? That is standard, isn't

:14:49. > :14:51.it? The NHS is spread so thin, it is such a limited dental system, that

:14:52. > :14:55.they are now sending people away for two years. Even adults are missing

:14:56. > :15:02.out on their checks. Oral cancer now kills more people than survival and

:15:03. > :15:08.testicular cancer together. It is not a prevention -based system.

:15:09. > :15:15.We have had a statement from NHS England saying these claims are

:15:16. > :15:18.wrong, 93% of people got an NHS dental appointment when they wanted

:15:19. > :15:19.wrong, 93% of people got an NHS one in the last 24 months, how does

:15:20. > :15:24.that square with what you are saying? I'm sure you are familiar

:15:25. > :15:29.with the same lies, dammed lies and statistics, and that is one that is

:15:30. > :15:34.often used by NHS England. The truth is, only half of the population have

:15:35. > :15:37.even seen a dentist in the last 24 months, a third of children still

:15:38. > :15:43.haven't seen a dentist in the last two years. Look, they are stuck in

:15:44. > :15:50.denial, keep coming up with numbers and statistics, they are not

:15:51. > :15:50.addressing the real problem. And the reason over 400 dental professionals

:15:51. > :15:55.sign this letter in the Daily Telegraph is to whistle-blower

:15:56. > :15:58.publicly and say, look, this is a growing tragedy of third World

:15:59. > :16:01.proportions and it is time for action and not hiding behind lies,

:16:02. > :16:07.statistics, and not actually getting to grips with providing proper

:16:08. > :16:11.systems in the public interest of white Ian on Twitter says dental

:16:12. > :16:15.problems are down to the greed of dentists. It is so expensive to get

:16:16. > :16:20.dental treatment, often, isn't it? The most expensive thing is

:16:21. > :16:22.dental treatment, often, isn't it? neglecting your mouth, letting rot

:16:23. > :16:27.get established in the mouth and losing loads of teeth. Dental

:16:28. > :16:30.implants do cost ?2000. It is the most advanced dentistry you can get.

:16:31. > :16:34.implants do cost ?2000. It is the It is not available on NHS

:16:35. > :16:39.dentistry. But if I said to all the public, every tooth in your head is

:16:40. > :16:43.worth ?2000, if you had 20 or 30 diamonds or gems would you let them

:16:44. > :16:47.go tarnished, let them rot? Would you let them be lost needlessly? You

:16:48. > :16:52.would look after them, polished them, and make them last for life.

:16:53. > :16:55.This needs to get out of the public, your teeth are valuable and affect

:16:56. > :16:58.the quality of your life. Children have been admitted to hospital,

:20:51. > :20:56.Thank you. Sports pages full of one man this morning. Ben Stokes, after

:20:57. > :21:01.his remarkable innings for England against South Africa yesterday. We

:21:02. > :21:07.will be talking to his dad in just a few minutes, but let's look at the

:21:08. > :21:11.records he broke. His knock of 254 was quite something, the fastest

:21:12. > :21:19.double test century by an England batsman, taking 163 balls, beating

:21:20. > :21:23.Sir Ian Botham's record. Fastest 250 in Test cricket history overtaking

:21:24. > :21:26.Veranda say Wagg's 207 balls for India in 2009.

:21:27. > :21:33.More sixes than any other Englishmen. He cleared the boundary

:21:34. > :21:39.11 times. I'm delighted to be joined by Ben Stokes's dad, who is over in

:21:40. > :21:42.New Zealand. Think they are on day three on the lunch break at the

:21:43. > :21:48.moment, aren't they? I know you played cricket as a young man, so

:21:49. > :21:57.who is taking credit for the heroics of your son? Probably goes to my

:21:58. > :22:00.wife Deborah. She was still playing cricket while she carried them,

:22:01. > :22:06.think she played up to a couple of months before he was born. So I

:22:07. > :22:13.think she's got to take the majority of credit. How did you both react to

:22:14. > :22:22.the remarkable innings? Tremendous, very proud. We were lucky last

:22:23. > :22:22.night, we had an evening arranged with quite a few

:22:23. > :22:28.night, we had an evening arranged here were around at the same time.

:22:29. > :22:33.Compelling viewing. Especially when we knew he was sitting on 76

:22:34. > :22:37.overnight. We were all round the table looking at the screen watching

:22:38. > :22:45.him get his hundred. Little did we know we would be sitting there

:22:46. > :22:46.watching him score 250. Tremendous time for us as a family. He has long

:22:47. > :22:50.watching him score 250. Tremendous been known as a decent all-rounder,

:22:51. > :22:56.but did you realise he was capable of something so special? We knew he

:22:57. > :23:00.had the skills, no doubt about that. And it was just probably the time,

:23:01. > :23:06.the wicket he needed, and the opportunity, I guess. But I think is

:23:07. > :23:11.aways have the ability to get a lot of runs. He's a very attacking

:23:12. > :23:14.batsman. Sometimes that's to his detriment, as a lot of the pundits

:23:15. > :23:18.have already indicated, there will be a lot of failures in between the

:23:19. > :23:22.good stuff as well, because of that attitude he has towards his batting.

:23:23. > :23:28.He goes out and tries to dominate the bowling. And I guess, as I said,

:23:29. > :23:33.that sometimes does put him in a position where he looks like he's

:23:34. > :23:36.thrown his wicket away. But he always tries and works hard for the

:23:37. > :23:42.team and I think that comes through in all his innings. How did his

:23:43. > :23:45.journey in cricket start? Say that again. Where did he first start

:23:46. > :23:48.playing cricket and get into the sport? He started playing in the

:23:49. > :23:54.hallway at home and as soon as he sport? He started playing in the

:23:55. > :23:59.could start walking he picked up a plastic bat and had a natural

:24:00. > :24:02.ability. As a kid he always wanted to play cricket and everybody who

:24:03. > :24:07.came round the house, he wanted to play cricket with them. We spent a

:24:08. > :24:10.lot of time on the backyard wall. As he got older he joined the clubs

:24:11. > :24:16.around the district that we lived in. And played cricket, has a lot of

:24:17. > :24:20.kids do in New Zealand. When we moved to England the first thing he

:24:21. > :24:25.did was look to the local cricket club which he found to be just round

:24:26. > :24:31.the corner. So his introduction to England was probably more over the

:24:32. > :24:35.cricket than it was the rugby league which is what we were over four. He

:24:36. > :24:39.did play rugby league but cricket was his main priority. Thank you so

:24:40. > :24:44.much for joining us, what a proud that you must be. My pleasure. We'll

:27:34. > :27:45.We did invite the Saudi Ambassador to the UK and the Saudi government

:27:46. > :27:52.Jane, how would you assess the dangers of the current situation? It

:27:53. > :28:00.has come at a time when there was already extreme tension between

:28:01. > :28:01.Saudi Arabia and Iran. They are on opposite sides of various conflicts

:28:02. > :28:07.including the one in Syria and the one in Yemen where the ceasefire has

:28:08. > :28:12.just broken down. So something that might, at another time, has been an

:28:13. > :28:15.internal Saudi issue about the execution of a dissident has really

:28:16. > :28:21.caught fire and fanned the flames of an existing regionwide struggle.

:28:22. > :28:26.They will have known what they were doing at this time, what do you make

:28:27. > :28:30.of the timing? The reaction is indeed largely predictable. Shaking

:28:31. > :28:37.was originally arrested in 2014 indeed largely predictable. Shaking

:28:38. > :28:43.the decision to go along with this execution along with a number of

:28:44. > :28:46.people associated with Al-Qaeda and Isis probably partly reflects a new

:28:47. > :28:50.leadership that has come into power in Saudi Arabia over the last year,

:28:51. > :28:56.which is determined to take quite a hard line on a number of internal

:28:57. > :29:05.regional security threats. Fatime, we said you were out demonstrating,

:29:06. > :29:11.why was that? We have been demonstrating weekly outside the

:29:12. > :29:14.Saudi embassy requesting the release of Sheikh Nimr, because he is a

:29:15. > :29:23.human rights activist very well known for associating with critics

:29:24. > :29:25.of the government, people that are threatening the monarchy because

:29:26. > :29:32.they know that if they do go ahead with the Democratic Saudi Arabia it

:29:33. > :29:39.would be the end of the Yarl's Wood monarchy. And I have been protesting

:29:40. > :29:41.because I believe the prominent ally should be questioned, our

:29:42. > :29:46.relationship with Saudi Arabia. I don't think we should have such a

:29:47. > :29:51.strong relationship with a country that is openly committing atrocities

:29:52. > :29:55.similar to Isis, yet we are accessing it, we have not stood

:29:56. > :29:59.against it, not enough pressure has been placed on Saudi Arabia to

:30:00. > :30:03.change their laws. Sheikh Nimr, as I mentioned, was a human rights

:30:04. > :30:08.activist. And following the weekly protests, we've had no difference in

:30:09. > :30:14.UK policy against Saudi Arabia. So this weekend on Saturday we shifted

:30:15. > :30:19.from asking for a release to condemning his death. And Sunday

:30:20. > :30:25.followed another protest outside the Saudi Arabia embassy.

:30:26. > :30:35.Saudi Arabia describes him as a terrorist. She and others describe

:30:36. > :30:41.him as a human rights activist. What did Saudi Arabia say he had done? It

:30:42. > :30:47.is important to note that terrorism in Saudi Arabia is defined more

:30:48. > :30:49.broadly than in the UK. There were a long list of charges against him,

:30:50. > :30:54.including inciting disobedience against the Government, encouraging

:30:55. > :31:02.foreign meddling, which was assumed to be a reference to Iran. He said

:31:03. > :31:09.it could be possible for Saudi shears to seek external assistance.

:31:10. > :31:11.Essentially the Government was accusing him of inciting violence

:31:12. > :31:16.against the police but not it seems direct involvement in terrorism.

:31:17. > :31:23.Fatima, where do things go from here? I think as British citizens we

:31:24. > :31:27.should be placing pressure on our government, a government that is

:31:28. > :31:32.supposed to represent its citizens, and as people we need a more

:31:33. > :31:37.transparent political analysis of the relationship that we have with

:31:38. > :31:43.Saudi Arabia. In terms of the immediate impact of it? In Iran we

:31:44. > :31:51.have seen violent protests. Are you worried about how this situation

:31:52. > :31:58.might escalate? To be honest my concern largely lies with the UK as

:31:59. > :31:58.I am a citizen here. I would like to see a difference between the

:31:59. > :32:02.relationship that I've mentioned with Saudi Arabia. I would like to

:32:03. > :32:19.remind the public that this is a sectarian issue. Nimr al-Nimr stood

:32:20. > :32:25.up against inequality. There is a similar attitude towards a sunny

:32:26. > :32:28.blogger. The Saudi government and the monarchy, it seems the only

:32:29. > :32:31.retaliation to critics to human rights activists is to simply kill

:32:32. > :32:38.them. We have seen that happening across the world. I also think it is

:32:39. > :32:44.very important to remember that Saudi identifies their religious

:32:45. > :32:52.sect as Wahhabi is. It believes in the Killian -- killing of

:32:53. > :32:59.non-believers. We have just seen the British jihadi. If we are talking

:33:00. > :33:04.about de-radicalisation in the UK, we need to understand that the

:33:05. > :33:07.largest oil producer in the world has Wahhabi literature distributed

:33:08. > :33:14.around the country. A quick final thought, you want to see a different

:33:15. > :33:21.attitude between Britain and Saudi Arabia. Is that likely? There is a

:33:22. > :33:24.mismatch between the heart of the public opinion and public criticism

:33:25. > :33:29.of Saudi Arabia and the Government's desire to forge a stronger

:33:30. > :33:36.relationship with it. It is an oversimplification of Saudi Arabia's

:33:37. > :33:48.attitude towards Islam. They would argue that Isis is a massive threat

:33:49. > :33:53.to Saudi Arabia. They are funding such a terrorist organisation. That

:33:54. > :34:00.is an allegation that has been made but not confirmed. There is a moral

:34:01. > :34:03.ass of views. Saudi Arabia is a country of which opinion is

:34:04. > :34:09.polarised in the Western world and in the Middle East. Written sees it

:34:10. > :34:14.as one of its primary allies in the Middle East. That is largely down to

:34:15. > :34:20.the 100 billion largely private Saudi funds invested in the British

:34:21. > :34:26.economy. It is economic rather than moral. I think that David Cameron

:34:27. > :34:27.and his government should follow the public in what they would like to

:34:28. > :34:34.see. Thank you both.

:34:35. > :34:41.Still to come, Victoria's latest video diary about coping with the

:34:42. > :34:45.side effects of chemotherapy. A Labour MP touted to replace Maria

:34:46. > :34:49.Eagle as Shadow Defence Secretary has told this programme he would

:34:50. > :34:54.only do the job at Jeremy Corbyn said it was essential. Clive Lewis,

:34:55. > :34:56.a shadow minister, told us talk linking in with the front bench

:34:57. > :35:01.position was speculation and he had not been offered it. I have not been

:35:02. > :35:08.spoken to by anybody. It is complete speculation. Would you want to do

:35:09. > :35:12.it? No. I have been an MP for eight months. I'm on the shadow front

:35:13. > :35:16.bench. It is a steep learning curve being an MP. To be in the shadow

:35:17. > :35:21.cabinet is another league altogether. I want to pace myself

:35:22. > :35:27.like most people who come into Parliament. That is my honest

:35:28. > :35:33.opinion. If you were offered it, would you say no? If Jeremy Corbyn

:35:34. > :35:36.said he needed me to do it, it was essential, I would have to think

:35:37. > :35:41.about it. But my initial inclination would be to say no. I have been in

:35:42. > :35:48.the job eight months. This is speculation. I wanted to pick up on

:35:49. > :35:53.the revenge reshuffle, the way it has been framed. If David Cameron

:35:54. > :35:57.had a reshuffle it would be a reshuffle. Not a revenge reshuffle.

:35:58. > :36:01.Political leaders throughout the history of the Parliamentary Labour

:36:02. > :36:07.Party have made reshuffles. That is what they do. They try to manage

:36:08. > :36:10.their shadow cabinet. In 2001 Tony Blair effectively demoted Robin Cook

:36:11. > :36:15.because of these stones the pro-European position. That was not

:36:16. > :36:19.seen as revenge. It is about managing how your shadow cabinet

:36:20. > :36:25.works. That is what Jeremy Corbyn has every right to do. We are like a

:36:26. > :36:28.family and labour. We may have slightly different views but by and

:36:29. > :36:32.large are values and principles hold us together. Sometimes you get

:36:33. > :36:36.differences of opinion, like you do at Christmas, in families. You will

:36:37. > :36:42.have arguments. The mechanism we use to sort that out is called

:36:43. > :36:50.democracy. We had a democratic election. Jeremy Corbyn won that

:36:51. > :36:51.election. It is his prerogative as leader not to sure revenge but to

:36:52. > :36:56.manage and shape the shadow cabinet. It is one of the benefits of being a

:36:57. > :36:58.leader. I think he is entitled to do that without it being referred to as

:36:59. > :37:04.revenge. Carole Walker is in Westminster.

:37:05. > :37:09.What is the latest on what is going on at Westminster? I think Jeremy

:37:10. > :37:12.Corbyn is weighing up this incredibly difficult prospect.

:37:13. > :37:19.Reshuffles are notoriously difficult, divisive. People get

:37:20. > :37:21.resentful had been moved. It is hard to see how he is going to get this

:37:22. > :37:25.resentful had been moved. It is hard right without upsetting quite a few

:37:26. > :37:29.people. Some of his closest allies say it is quite right for Jeremy

:37:30. > :37:35.Corbyn to want in his shadow cabinet people who are closest to his

:37:36. > :37:39.personal view. At the moment he has got quite a few with different views

:37:40. > :37:41.on a number of key issues. Others say he has talked about being

:37:42. > :37:48.inclusive and bringing the party together. And that it would create

:37:49. > :37:53.more division in the party if he cleared out those who had

:37:54. > :37:56.more division in the party if he with him public click. -- publicly.

:37:57. > :38:01.more division in the party if he The key to this is

:38:02. > :38:04.more division in the party if he speech in favour of air strikes in

:38:05. > :38:11.more division in the party if he was opposed to them. If he were to

:38:12. > :38:13.be moved now I think people would see that is a provocative move,

:38:14. > :38:20.particularly if he were to promote someone very close to his own view,

:38:21. > :38:23.like Diane Abbott. She dismissed as poppycock and people this morning

:38:24. > :38:28.the suggestion she had been offered the job. We heard Clive Lewis,

:38:29. > :38:34.touted for the job of shadow defence secretary, he was saying he had not

:38:35. > :38:38.been approached. He would probably say no. At the moment we are in a

:38:39. > :38:47.continual year of reshuffle speculation. That is very difficult

:38:48. > :38:48.for the party. While that continues, it becomes almost impossible for a

:38:49. > :38:53.Labour to put his messages across on other issues. A lot of Labour MPs

:38:54. > :38:57.are frustrated about that. We just wanted to show you these

:38:58. > :39:02.dramatic pictures taken near Bristol this morning. They show a village

:39:03. > :39:07.cash machine after it was blown up in Long Ashton. The front of a post

:39:08. > :39:10.office was completely destroyed following the blast in the early

:39:11. > :39:16.hours of this morning. Police say some cash was stolen and people have

:39:17. > :39:17.been arrested on suspicion of causing an explosion with intent to

:39:18. > :39:19.endanger life. In her latest video diary Victoria

:39:20. > :39:23.has revealed she's started losing her hair as a side-effect

:39:24. > :39:24.of chemotherapy treatment for breast I'm in a hotel room,

:39:25. > :39:29.and getting ready to go It's two and a half weeks

:39:30. > :39:33.since the first chemo and it's four This is the first bit of hair

:39:34. > :39:44.of mine that has fallen out. Obviously it is a side

:39:45. > :39:49.effect of chemotherapy. Hello, it's Wednesday 25th

:39:50. > :39:56.of November and I have just finished my second

:39:57. > :40:00.chemotherapy session. I'm wearing a different hat,

:40:01. > :40:10.apparently it's a new generation I have just finished chemo,

:40:11. > :40:13.finished wearing the cold cap, And hopefully I'm going to show

:40:14. > :40:23.you some ice in the cold cap. And if I just do on the top

:40:24. > :40:40.of my head, there are So that is just proof of how cold

:40:41. > :40:49.it gets in a coldcap. Quick update, couple of days

:40:50. > :40:51.after the second chemo, I've had lots of sleep,

:40:52. > :40:54.I know exactly what to do this time, I've just washed my hair

:40:55. > :41:00.and want to show you this, Which is to be expected

:41:01. > :41:15.but it is quite a lot. It is now six days since the second

:41:16. > :41:18.chemotherapy session and like the first one I am

:41:19. > :41:24.at the stage where I am feeling One of the things that I'm finding

:41:25. > :41:36.difficult to come toterms I would say I have lost about 30

:41:37. > :41:56.to 50% of my hair. It's Christmas eve and it has taken

:41:57. > :42:09.eight days to bounce back from the last session

:42:10. > :42:13.of chemotherapy. So I spent the week doing a lot

:42:14. > :42:19.of sleeping and feeling a bit dizzy. Disgusting cardboard

:42:20. > :42:25.taste in my mouth. One ulcer in my mouth,

:42:26. > :42:28.but only one so it's not the end So I have got used to wearing a wig

:42:29. > :42:51.which is something I never thought You can watch and share all of the

:42:52. > :42:56.video diaries on our programme page. Or on the BBC News YouTube page. So

:42:57. > :43:07.many of you getting in touch. Andy and Mike and Twitter don't think so

:43:08. > :43:07.many high profile people would have rolled their sleeves up and shared

:43:08. > :43:46.such a brave and selfless diary. John thanks Victoria for her

:43:47. > :43:48.courage. Thank you for all of your comments. Victoria is back here

:43:49. > :43:54.tomorrow. She will bring you an comments. Victoria is back here
