This morning, in her latest video diary for this programme,

:00:00.:00:13.

Victoria talks about the impact of hair loss as a side-effect

:00:14.:00:16.

of chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer.

:00:17.:00:24.

During the course of treatment of the side-effect of losing my hair

:00:25.:00:34.

has been the distressing part for me. It has been the thing that has

:00:35.:00:36.

affected me the most, more than the mastectomy.

:00:37.:00:40.

Watch the full video diary in the next few minutes.

:00:41.:00:42.

Security services are trying to establish the identity

:00:43.:00:44.

of a masked man, with a British accent, who's appeared

:00:45.:00:47.

in a new so-called Islamic State group video.

:00:48.:00:48.

And now that your kids have consumed all those chocolates and sweets over

:00:49.:00:54.

Christmas, here's a stat that will really frighten you.

:00:55.:00:57.

Over a year us kids eat and drink a whopping 5543 sugar cubes.

:00:58.:01:03.

That's 22 bags of sugar - that's more than a kid like me

:01:04.:01:06.

We'll tell you about a new Government-backed campaign

:01:07.:01:13.

to better monitor the amount of sugar your children consume.

:01:14.:01:26.

Happy new year and welcome to the programme.

:01:27.:01:29.

We're on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel until 11 this morning.

:01:30.:01:33.

As always, we'll be bringing you the latest breaking news

:01:34.:01:36.

future as a Labour MP, after those explict messages

:01:37.:01:53.

Your contributions to this programme and your expertise really

Texts will be charged at the standard network rate.

:01:58.:02:13.

following her diagnosis of breast cancer.

:02:14.:02:27.

I am ready to

:02:28.:02:48.

downstairs. It is two and a half weeks

:02:49.:02:51.

downstairs. It is two and a half is four days until the second. I

:02:52.:02:59.

just wanted to show you this. This is the first bit of hair of mine

:03:00.:03:02.

that has fallen out. I was prepared for it. Obviously it is a side

:03:03.:03:06.

effect of chemotherapy. It is slightly disconcerting nonetheless.

:03:07.:03:13.

Hello, it is Wednesday the 25th of November and I have just finished my

:03:14.:03:17.

second chemotherapy session. It has felt much better this time. I am

:03:18.:03:23.

wearing a different cold cab. It is closer fitting. A much more

:03:24.:03:28.

efficient cooling system, apparently. I have got 48 minutes

:03:29.:03:37.

remaining. After the drugs have gone into me I have got to wait for

:03:38.:03:40.

another hour and a half, 90 minutes, to keep the hair cool to hopefully

:03:41.:03:45.

another hour and a half, 90 minutes, minimise hair loss. A bit of hair

:03:46.:03:48.

has been coming out but not that much at this stage. I have not had a

:03:49.:03:52.

bad headache like the last time. Perhaps it is because I am more used

:03:53.:03:54.

to it or I know what to expect. But Perhaps it is because I am more used

:03:55.:03:58.

compared to the last time it is 50% better. I have been much more alert.

:03:59.:04:05.

Not as sleepy. Just a bit more cheerful, really.

:04:06.:04:14.

If you feel polling, stop me. I don't know how good this fellow is

:04:15.:04:21.

going to be. I might need to defrost it a bit. OK. Just finished chemo.

:04:22.:04:26.

Finished wearing a cold cab. Just taking it off now. Hopefully I am

:04:27.:04:32.

going to show you some ice in the hat. A little bit on the top of your

:04:33.:04:42.

head. Hopefully you can see that. Not much in there. A little bit. If

:04:43.:04:48.

I'd just do it on the top of my head, their icicles, rather? Wow!

:04:49.:04:58.

That is just how proof -- proof of how cold it gets.

:04:59.:05:02.

A couple of days after the second chemo. I have had lots of sleep. I

:05:03.:05:08.

feel like I am a routine. I know what to do. I have taken the

:05:09.:05:12.

anti-Sikh meets tablets at the right time. -- anti-sickness tablets. I

:05:13.:05:20.

feel tired. I had just washed my hair. It is a bit gross. This is how

:05:21.:05:30.

much hair has come out. That is to be expected but it is quite a lot.

:05:31.:05:36.

That is after wearing the cold Twice. If I had not won it twice, it

:05:37.:05:49.

maybe will may walk -- weigh Twice. If I had not won it twice, it

:05:50.:05:49.

than that. Horses for courses, I suppose. It is

:05:50.:05:55.

now six days since the second chemotherapy session. Like the first

:05:56.:06:02.

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

:06:03.:06:06.

the things that I am finding difficult to come to terms with is

:06:07.:06:12.

losing my hair. I would say I have lost about 30 so 50% of my hair. --

:06:13.:06:21.

30 to 50%. And I am finding this hard.

:06:22.:06:45.

It is a week after the second chemo. I am back at work. It is brilliant

:06:46.:06:49.

to see everybody and be back in a normal routine. And work with people

:06:50.:06:53.

on the programme again. I feel normal again. Feeling normal is

:06:54.:07:03.

good. December the 16th. Today is a milestone in the course of this

:07:04.:07:07.

chemotherapy treatment because I had just finished the third one. That

:07:08.:07:12.

means I'm halfway through. That is quite a satisfying feeling. The time

:07:13.:07:16.

is passing, quickly, which surprises me. And if you are experiencing

:07:17.:07:23.

this, or somebody you know is experiencing this treatment, then

:07:24.:07:26.

keep on keeping on because it will pass.

:07:27.:07:34.

It is Christmas eve and it has taken me eight days to bounce back from

:07:35.:07:41.

the last session of chemotherapy. I have spent a week doing a lot of

:07:42.:07:49.

sleeping. Feeling a bit dizzy. I have a disgusting cardboard taste in

:07:50.:07:55.

my mouth. One also in my mouth. Only one. Not the end of the world. Also,

:07:56.:08:04.

I have got used to wearing a week, which is something I never thought I

:08:05.:08:09.

would say. The idea a few weeks ago of wearing a week absolutely

:08:10.:08:13.

horrified me. It represented stress, it represented something peculiar,

:08:14.:08:17.

not me, and now I can put it on in five minutes in the morning. We went

:08:18.:08:24.

to a Christmas party the other day and when I got back my youngest son

:08:25.:08:29.

whispered to me, did anybody know you are wearing a wig? It lets me

:08:30.:08:36.

crack on and get on with things, which is absolutely great.

:08:37.:08:43.

It is the end of the year and like you, no doubt, I am looking forward

:08:44.:08:47.

to the year ahead. I cannot wait for 2016 to get cracking.

:08:48.:08:51.

to the year ahead. I cannot wait for cannot. Particularly the last three

:08:52.:08:53.

days of February when chemotherapy will end. Haare! Than I will have

:08:54.:09:00.

radiotherapy. Everybody who has had radiotherapy says it is a breeze

:09:01.:09:04.

compared to chemotherapy. I have another ulcer. I had some brown

:09:05.:09:12.

mottling on my face. I have lost a little bit of my eyebrows but you

:09:13.:09:13.

fill in the missing bits with an eyebrow pencil. I have managed to

:09:14.:09:17.

preserve my nails, perhaps because I received advice that if you wear

:09:18.:09:21.

dark nail varnish it maintains them through chemo. That appears to be

:09:22.:09:26.

working. I cannot wait to get back to work, albeit briefly before the

:09:27.:09:30.

next session of chemo starts. When I started wearing a wig a few weeks

:09:31.:09:35.

ago I did not tell anybody at work I was wearing one. I needed some time

:09:36.:09:42.

to adjust. I can confirm I am now fully adjusted to it and so I feel

:09:43.:09:46.

comfortable in being totally open about it. But we are a close-knit

:09:47.:09:54.

team at work. They are a bunch of journalists. I am guessing they have

:09:55.:09:56.

sussed it. If they haven't, I will be a little disappointed, to be

:09:57.:10:01.

honest. During the course of treatment the side effect of losing

:10:02.:10:03.

my hair has been the distressing part for me. It has been the thing

:10:04.:10:09.

that has affected me most, more than a mastectomy, which may sound

:10:10.:10:14.

peculiar, but maybe not. As I have said before, everybody is different.

:10:15.:10:19.

But my hair will grow back. So that is cool. And... Yes, roll on 2016. I

:10:20.:10:31.

hope you had a brilliant year ahead. And thank you, thank you, thank you

:10:32.:10:37.

for your thoughtful and kind and inspiring messages. They have meant

:10:38.:10:37.

such a lot to me. You can watch and share

:10:38.:10:41.

all of Victoria's video diaries on our programme page

:10:42.:10:44.

or on the BBC News You Tube page. You may have seen over the Christmas

:10:45.:10:56.

period the daily Telegraph the thoughts of many of many of us when

:10:57.:10:58.

it praised her role bravery and what she is doing with her video diaries.

:10:59.:11:01.

Lots of you have been getting in touch about this.

:11:02.:11:03.

Dave Clark said that as a doctor he felt compelled to say how impressed

:11:04.:11:13.

he is by Victoria's updates. He cannot emphasise too much how

:11:14.:11:18.

important the message is. You have courageously chosen to do something

:11:19.:11:22.

wonderful. You have allowed people to see what managing cancer really

:11:23.:11:28.

entails. You have helped thousands of patient and family members gain

:11:29.:11:30.

an insight into what is to come. Andy says his wife went through it a

:11:31.:11:36.

couple of years ago. -- nine years ago. Nicola says

:11:37.:11:40.

Victoria is a woman of valour and kindness. Heather says she went

:11:41.:11:45.

through the same thing a few years ago. She never looked at herself

:11:46.:11:49.

whole year without hair. She never allowed herself to be in a

:11:50.:11:53.

photograph during that time. You are extremely brave and I so admire what

:11:54.:11:57.

you are doing to publicise this process. Rachel Hughes says hair

:11:58.:12:07.

loss is such a difficult part of cancer treatment for women. Janice

:12:08.:12:07.

Eastwood says she had surgery 12 months ago followed by chemotherapy

:12:08.:12:12.

and radiotherapy. She knows what Victoria is going through. Andy says

:12:13.:12:21.

he is luckily a healthy man. He finds Victoria and inspiration.

:12:22.:12:25.

Thank you very much for joining us today and for your comments. Still

:12:26.:12:30.

to come. Will Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn press ahead with a revenge

:12:31.:12:35.

reshuffle of his top team, getting rid of colleagues who disagree with

:12:36.:12:40.

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

:12:41.:12:45.

their own body weight in sugar every year. More than three stones worth.

:12:46.:12:49.

We find out how parents can help their children cut down.

:12:50.:12:55.

Security services are trying to establish the identity

:12:56.:12:57.

of a masked man with a British accent - in a video released

:12:58.:13:00.

by so-called Islamic State militants.

:13:01.:13:03.

The propaganda film apparently shows the killing of five people accused

:13:04.:13:08.

All Iranian diplomats in Saudi Arabia - have been given 48

:13:09.:13:14.

hours to leave, after cutting off diplomatic ties with Tehran.

:13:15.:13:16.

It's amid a growing row over the Saudis' execution

:13:17.:13:18.

Sweden introduces new border checks for all travellers from Denmark,

:13:19.:13:24.

for the first time in over half a century -

:13:25.:13:28.

in an attempt to reduce the flow of migrants.

:13:29.:13:32.

All travellers are being refused entry unless they have the necessary

:13:33.:13:35.

The government is to commission the construction of up

:13:36.:13:38.

to thirteen-thousand new affordable homes on public land --

:13:39.:13:40.

in the latest attempt to stimulate house-building.

:13:41.:13:43.

Labour has accused ministers of trying to "spin" the figures

:13:44.:13:47.

And parents are urged to use a new app to keep track of sugar

:13:48.:13:57.

content in their children's food and drink.

:13:58.:13:59.

Officials say children aged between four and ten currently get

:14:00.:14:06.

through twenty-two kilos of added sugar a year,

:14:07.:14:10.

more than the weight of the average five year-old.

:14:11.:14:24.

more than the weight Victoria's diary. Leanne says, keep

:14:25.:14:27.

strong and persist with the cab. It will work. Hair will thin badly but

:14:28.:14:33.

it will grow back. What a brave and inspirational woman. Sending best

:14:34.:14:39.

wishes for your recovery. Hang in there honey. You will definitely

:14:40.:14:42.

beat cancer because I have faith in you and we will support you. Another

:14:43.:14:46.

one says, a mostly sad but inspiring video. So brave to tell us

:14:47.:14:54.

one says, a mostly sad but inspiring really is for those undergoing

:14:55.:14:59.

treatment. Do keep on getting in touch. We worried all of your

:15:00.:15:06.

messages as does Victoria. Let's catch up with the sport. Jess has

:15:07.:15:07.

the details. Only one place to start, with the

:15:08.:15:17.

cricket. All over the morning papers. This is the independent, and

:15:18.:15:25.

the times. And in the Daily Telegraph, an innings like no

:15:26.:15:30.

others. Celebrating Ben Stokes's colossal double century in the

:15:31.:15:33.

second test against South Africa yesterday, he made 258, and let me

:15:34.:15:40.

read some statistics for you. It is the fastest double century by an

:15:41.:15:44.

English batsman in history and the highest Test innings by a number

:15:45.:15:52.

six. He hit an extraordinary 11 sixes. Extraordinary. Excited to say

:15:53.:15:55.

we will be speaking to his dad at 10:30am. What a proud that he must

:15:56.:16:01.

be. Just a couple of football lines elsewhere in sport. Chelsea interim

:16:02.:16:04.

boss Guus Hiddink believes his team can still make the top four and

:16:05.:16:07.

qualify for the Champions League after they beat Crystal Palace 3-0.

:16:08.:16:13.

Tottenham drew 1-1 with Everton and keep their place in the top four.

:16:14.:16:18.

Gary Anderson in the dance is still the PDC world champion after beating

:16:19.:16:22.

Adrian Lewis. He joins a handful of players to have won the crown for a

:16:23.:16:26.

second time. All that and more at 10am. Thank you remarked, see you

:16:27.:16:29.

later. New year, new Labour

:16:30.:16:32.

infighting over a potential Leader Jeremy Corbyn seemingly wants

:16:33.:16:34.

to bolster his position by moving Diane Abbott has called its nonsense

:16:35.:16:49.

and dismissed figures she could be the new Shadow Foreign Secretary.

:16:50.:16:55.

The man currently in the job, Hilary Benn, is thought to be at risk for

:16:56.:16:58.

It is now time for us to do our bit in Syria.

:16:59.:17:04.

That is why I ask my colleagues to vote for this motion

:17:05.:17:07.

We can talk to two new Labour MPs now,

:17:08.:17:13.

Wes Streeting says a "revenge reshuffle" would be the worst

:17:14.:17:21.

And Clive Lewis is a key Corbyn backer, who has been tipped

:17:22.:17:28.

to replace Maria Eagle as Shadow Defence Minister.

:17:29.:17:30.

Thank you both for coming in. Tell us first of all, is this something

:17:31.:17:36.

that you've been sounded out about? I haven't been sounded out at all,

:17:37.:17:41.

and I would be disappointed if this was dropped on me from a great

:17:42.:17:46.

height of five minutes before. I haven't been spoken to by anyone so

:17:47.:17:50.

I think it is complete speculation. Would you want to do it? I would

:17:51.:17:55.

not. Why not? I have been an MP for eight months and I am already on the

:17:56.:18:00.

Shadow front bench, it is a steep learning curve being an MP and even

:18:01.:18:04.

more being on the front bench. I think I want to pace myself, like

:18:05.:18:07.

most people that come into Parliament and that is my honest

:18:08.:18:12.

opinion. If you were offered, would you say no? If Jeremy Corbyn offered

:18:13.:18:16.

me that and said, look, I need you to do it, this is essential that you

:18:17.:18:20.

do it, I would have to think about it. But to be quite frank, no. My

:18:21.:18:23.

initial inclination would be it. But to be quite frank, no. My

:18:24.:18:28.

no. You don't think your experience is enough? I have only been in the

:18:29.:18:32.

job eight months. But this is speculation and I wanted to pick up

:18:33.:18:38.

on the revenge reshuffle as it is being framed, I think if David

:18:39.:18:41.

Cameron had a reshuffle, it would just be called a reshuffle. Critical

:18:42.:18:45.

leaders throughout the history of the Parliamentary Labour Party have

:18:46.:18:49.

made reshuffle is, that's what they do, try to manage their Shadow

:18:50.:18:55.

Cabinet. In 2001 Tony Blair in effect demoted Robin Cook because of

:18:56.:18:59.

his staunchly pro-European position. That is about managing how your

:19:00.:19:06.

Shadow Cabinet works and that's what Jeremy Corbyn has every right to do.

:19:07.:19:11.

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

:19:12.:19:12.

and Wes might have slightly different views but by and large our

:19:13.:19:17.

principles hold us together. But sometimes in families you get

:19:18.:19:20.

differences of opinion, like you do at Christmas, people have arguments.

:19:21.:19:25.

The mechanism we used to sort that out is called democracy. We had a

:19:26.:19:29.

democratic election and Jeremy Corbyn won and it is his prerogative

:19:30.:19:32.

as leader not to show revenge but his prerogative as leader to be able

:19:33.:19:35.

to manage and shape the Shadow Cabinet. One of the benefits and

:19:36.:19:40.

perks of being the leader, to shake that Shadow Cabinet, and he is

:19:41.:19:47.

entitled to do that without it being referred to as revenge. Wes, you

:19:48.:19:50.

think it would be a terrible start to the new year to go ahead with a

:19:51.:19:53.

reshuffle, why? We are five months away from crucial elections in this

:19:54.:19:59.

country, and I was out this morning campaign for said he can't I wish

:20:00.:20:02.

that was the issue we were talking about this morning. We have issues

:20:03.:20:08.

across the country. I don't want to see Labour MPs thrown on the

:20:09.:20:13.

scrapheap because we were too busy talking about ourselves

:20:14.:20:17.

scrapheap because we were too busy structures and personalities when we

:20:18.:20:19.

should be talking about the issues facing the country. I think there

:20:20.:20:22.

are two possibilities in the next couple of weeks. Either we are going

:20:23.:20:30.

to see the sort of wide-ranging movement of people, particularly

:20:31.:20:32.

those who disagree with Jeremy Hunt issues like Syria, or Jeremy will

:20:33.:20:38.

reflect on what has been said by colleagues, calm things down and

:20:39.:20:41.

maybe have some minor changes -- those who disagree with Jeremy on

:20:42.:20:46.

issues like Syria. At identity it can justify the briefing from the

:20:47.:20:50.

top of the party over the Christmas period which has been briefing

:20:51.:20:54.

against people who had defences with Jeremy, whether Hilary Benn on Syria

:20:55.:20:58.

or Maria Eagle on Trident. If readers want to conduct reshuffle

:20:59.:21:02.

is, of course they should. But I think Jeremy needs to rein in some

:21:03.:21:06.

of those around him busy briefing against colleagues. That is what has

:21:07.:21:11.

given rise to the revenge reshuffle? Absolutely, and I think two things

:21:12.:21:14.

have happened in the media. One is that speculation, this briefing has

:21:15.:21:23.

led to wider speculation. Undoubtedly, when you have as many

:21:24.:21:29.

newspapers as we had over Christmas citing sources close to Jeremy

:21:30.:21:33.

Corbyn, there is no doubt there has been aggressive briefing against

:21:34.:21:35.

members of the Shadow Cabinet and that is very disappointing. I know

:21:36.:21:40.

that over Christmas we've had people like Michael Dugher talking about

:21:41.:21:46.

culture, and the gender of toys, making sure that girls have the

:21:47.:21:50.

right sort of role models. We've had people talking like Kerry McCarthy,

:21:51.:21:57.

children's mental health. All of these stories have really been lost.

:21:58.:22:04.

The quote from Michael Dugher that has been picked up is him talking

:22:05.:22:08.

about the Labour Party appearing like a cult. I think one of the

:22:09.:22:15.

things that has come out of the last Shadow Cabinet, appointments for

:22:16.:22:21.

many members, briefing is going on across the political spectrum. I

:22:22.:22:26.

think it is about discipline. And that's something the party is

:22:27.:22:29.

suffering a severe lapse of. And that is not restricted to one wing

:22:30.:22:34.

of the party. I also think, having been a former journalist, I know

:22:35.:22:41.

over the Christmas period it is slim pickings in terms of news stories. I

:22:42.:22:42.

had journalists phoning me up constantly asking me what is going

:22:43.:22:46.

to happen, do you think this or that will happen. I said I don't know.

:22:47.:22:49.

This could happen, that could happen, I simply don't know. And

:22:50.:22:54.

then you find those comments and so on are being turned into people

:22:55.:22:57.

close to Jeremy Corbyn saying a, B and C. But you kind of brush it all

:22:58.:23:04.

off, but King Power Stadium former Labour minister says she has never

:23:05.:23:09.

seen the party in such a deplorable state, you've got to have an

:23:10.:23:11.

opposition and we What we have to be very careful of

:23:12.:23:20.

here is that over the Christmas period people worth phoning me up as

:23:21.:23:26.

a Shadow Minister period people worth phoning me up as

:23:27.:23:31.

but they were not asking me about floods, they were asking me about

:23:32.:23:36.

Jeremy Corbyn's reshuffle. I don't think it's fair to blame simply

:23:37.:23:40.

Jeremy Corbyn. He is the leader of the Labour Party and entitled to

:23:41.:23:43.

make changes to the Shadow Cabinet. If we accept that then this is a

:23:44.:23:48.

nonstory. I think where Wes is right is that what we want to see and we

:23:49.:23:52.

will continue to seek a broad Shadow Cabinet. There will be differences

:23:53.:23:57.

of opinion. You can't have a politburo of a Shadow Cabinet, it

:23:58.:24:00.

does not work, there are not enough people around Jeremy Corbyn to do

:24:01.:24:03.

that. He has to reach out and he has. The initial Shadow Cabinet was

:24:04.:24:09.

brave and inclusive. I think the Shadow Cabinet we will have

:24:10.:24:12.

afterwards will also be open and inclusive but it is about managing

:24:13.:24:16.

it in a way that makes sure those messages can come out and do work.

:24:17.:24:19.

At the moment there has been a lack of discipline across the party and

:24:20.:24:23.

in the Shadow Cabinet. We need to get our act together, I completely

:24:24.:24:29.

agree. In my city of Norwich, we have been on Black about twice

:24:30.:24:36.

ready. We have flooding across vast swathes of the North. We have a

:24:37.:24:39.

government failing on climate change, on renewables. There is so

:24:40.:24:45.

much to attack this government on. We want to do this. We can blame the

:24:46.:24:48.

much to attack this government on. sort ourselves out and that means

:24:49.:24:51.

discipline across the party. Wes? My problem is I don't really blame

:24:52.:24:57.

media, I think these rooms are entirely self-inflicted.

:24:58.:25:01.

media, I think these rooms are lot of time reading the newspapers

:25:02.:25:02.

over Christmas, lot of time reading the newspapers

:25:03.:25:05.

to actually read newspapers and lot of time reading the newspapers

:25:06.:25:11.

the party. I think a lot happened when Jeremy Corbyn was on holiday,

:25:12.:25:15.

so I'm not saying he has been picking up the phone, I'm sure he

:25:16.:25:18.

has better things to do with his time. But I think there are some

:25:19.:25:25.

people around Jeremy who gets carried away and he needs to rein

:25:26.:25:25.

them in. It is actually there are loads of issues we could be taking

:25:26.:25:30.

the Tories to task on. Identifying they are unbeatable, I think they

:25:31.:25:33.

have some real problems of their own. Looking at Europe for example.

:25:34.:25:40.

What is the way to refocus attention, would you say to Jeremy

:25:41.:25:43.

Corbyn don't go ahead with any reshuffle? That's it. When he got

:25:44.:25:48.

elected he said he would build a broad

:25:49.:25:49.

elected he said he would build a the way to move forward. I think it

:25:50.:25:56.

is up to Jeremy now what he does with the Shadow

:25:57.:26:02.

is up to Jeremy now what he does But is it in Labour's best interests

:26:03.:26:02.

for there not But is it in Labour's best interests

:26:03.:26:03.

political party having a with eight numbers, but it is looked

:26:04.:26:16.

at who is moving where and why and I accept that.

:26:17.:26:19.

at who is moving where and why and I described it as a revenge

:26:20.:26:24.

at who is moving where and why and I it. It is just a reshuffle. Wes says

:26:25.:26:29.

that is coming from all the briefing coming out of the party? If we

:26:30.:26:33.

accept that briefing has come from across the party, the problem I

:26:34.:26:34.

think many of my members have about across the party, the problem I

:26:35.:26:44.

relevance of the Shadow Cabinet. Wes will say

:26:45.:26:47.

relevance of the Shadow Cabinet. Wes Corbyn, I will say it is

:26:48.:26:47.

relevance of the Shadow Cabinet. Wes of discipline is not constricted to

:26:48.:26:52.

one side of the party, it of discipline is not constricted to

:26:53.:26:56.

sorted out. You are both new of discipline is not constricted to

:26:57.:27:01.

with that limited experience under your belt as MPs, how has it changed

:27:02.:27:08.

your perspective on politics, do you feel disillusioned? Is this

:27:09.:27:12.

democracy in action? This doesn't feel very much like new politics to

:27:13.:27:17.

me at the moment. And I think that there are lots of ways, even in

:27:18.:27:21.

opposition, you can make a real difference to people's lives, by

:27:22.:27:27.

fundamentally focusing on the issues that matter to them. I have issues

:27:28.:27:30.

in my local NHS, issues around people commuting, school places

:27:31.:27:33.

crunch being felt by parents. These are the sorts of issues I want us to

:27:34.:27:37.

be focusing on. There is a debate to be had about the Labour Party but it

:27:38.:27:41.

would be better to have that debate in an open, how and inclusive way.

:27:42.:27:45.

That's one of the reasons why I found the framing around this we

:27:46.:27:48.

shuffle so unnecessary and self-destructive. I agree in terms

:27:49.:27:54.

of looking at the issues with the elections coming in May. Elections

:27:55.:27:57.

in Scotland, local elections across elections coming in May. Elections

:27:58.:28:02.

the country, a Conservative Party which I think is undermining

:28:03.:28:04.

democracy, hurting the poorest and most vulnerable. There are lots of

:28:05.:28:08.

issues where we can take the fight to them. But I also think it is

:28:09.:28:13.

important as a party that we begin to accept that our party has

:28:14.:28:16.

shifted, it has changed, the centre of gravity has changed. Some people

:28:17.:28:23.

in the PLP have not accepted that but I think the vast majority of the

:28:24.:28:30.

Labour Party have accepted it. Many of us are now becoming tired of what

:28:31.:28:34.

seems to be the incessant inward narcissistic outlook. And what we

:28:35.:28:41.

want to see is the party Unite, come together and take on the people we

:28:42.:28:44.

were put here to take on, the Tories. Thank you very much, and let

:28:45.:28:50.

us know your thoughts on that as well as everything else we are

:28:51.:28:52.

talking about here today. Also still to come, we will have the

:28:53.:29:00.

latest news, and in sport, after Ben Stokes's record-breaking innings

:29:01.:29:06.

hitting the fastest 250, we will talk to his dad who was there in

:29:07.:29:10.

Cape Town to watch his son. Here are some of the records he and his

:29:11.:29:13.

partner Jonathan Bester broke yesterday.

:29:14.:29:48.

Some British children are eating their own body weight

:29:49.:29:51.

in sugar every year - that's almost 5,500 sugar cubes,

:29:52.:29:54.

which is the weight of an average five year old.

:29:55.:29:58.

Over a year us kids eat and drink a whopping 5543 sugar cubes.

:29:59.:30:05.

That's more than a kid like me weighs, and I'm five.

:30:06.:30:12.

Sugar is lurking in our everyday food and drinks.

:30:13.:30:16.

Just one can of cola contains nine whole sugar cubes.

:30:17.:30:21.

Because we eat and drink too much sugar we get painful toothache

:30:22.:30:25.

Thousands of us even end up in hospital, having

:30:26.:30:30.

We may look fine on the outside but too much sugar can lead

:30:31.:30:36.

to the build-up of harmful fat on the inside that we can't see.

:30:37.:30:39.

This fat can cause serious diseases as we grow older including type two

:30:40.:30:42.

diabetes, some cancers and even heart disease.

:30:43.:30:53.

Now parents are being urged to control the amount

:30:54.:30:56.

of sugar their families eat by using a new app being launched

:30:57.:30:59.

today by the Government-backed health campaign Change4life.

:31:00.:31:03.

It logs all the sugar contained in the food and drinks you consume,

:31:04.:31:06.

and lets you know if you or your kids are going over

:31:07.:31:09.

It's being backed by the singer and TV presenter, Jamelia,

:31:10.:31:13.

who has two children aged 14 and ten.

:31:14.:31:15.

She joins us now along with Amanda Ursell, a nutritionist.

:31:16.:31:21.

Thank you both are coming in. Tell us how you got involved, Jamelia? I

:31:22.:31:33.

was asked to be a part of the campaign. It was perfect timing. It

:31:34.:31:39.

is fantastic. I have become quite concerned with the amount of hidden

:31:40.:31:45.

sugars my daughter were consuming. It has been talked about a lot. I

:31:46.:31:49.

went to the dentist with my daughter. She needed a filling. I

:31:50.:31:54.

was like, I don't know how because she does not have sugar. The dentist

:31:55.:31:59.

kind of said, does she need these kinds of yoghurt and cereal bars? I

:32:00.:32:03.

was thinking these were healthy things. Would you find out there are

:32:04.:32:09.

hidden sugars. It was fantastic for me to be asked to do this campaign.

:32:10.:32:13.

Not only am I being a part of something great, I was being

:32:14.:32:17.

educated myself. I think it is very important. The sort of things you

:32:18.:32:23.

are talking about as things a lot of parents think our healthy. What

:32:24.:32:28.

changes have you implemented? In all honesty, this application has been

:32:29.:32:33.

fantastic. We have been using it over Christmas a lot. A lot of

:32:34.:32:38.

shocks and surprises. Using the app it is so simple. It is a case of

:32:39.:32:47.

scanning the bar code and it tells you. Can you show us? Yes. Of

:32:48.:32:55.

course. Examples of drinks which are typical. We don't need to refer to

:32:56.:33:03.

the brands. This is a pouch drink. Five cubes of sugar. What does it

:33:04.:33:12.

say on the pack? Does not tell you on the pack. The sugar content is

:33:13.:33:21.

usually in grams. Being told there are five cubes of shiver... To me

:33:22.:33:28.

that is a lot of sugar. I definitely do not intend to be giving that to

:33:29.:33:34.

my children. It is these kinds of do not intend to be giving that to

:33:35.:33:35.

things that are causing the problems that we are seeing. My child is

:33:36.:33:40.

definitely one of those consuming a five-year-old child's wait worth of

:33:41.:33:45.

sugar. How easy is it to make informed choices when a lot of the

:33:46.:33:51.

choices we are making we think our healthy? It is a lot easier now with

:33:52.:33:57.

this app. I got involved as well. I trained as a dietician. You would

:33:58.:34:00.

think I would know what I was doing. Yet there were surprises to me, too.

:34:01.:34:10.

When you learn that children are having three times the amount of

:34:11.:34:11.

shiver that this recommends as a maximum, 60 grams a day, when they

:34:12.:34:18.

should be having 19 grams... 5500 sugar cubes, as you saw in that

:34:19.:34:24.

wonderful film, which I think is a great film to watch because it would

:34:25.:34:29.

be brings it home. It is just standing back and saying, OK, a

:34:30.:34:34.

little bit here, a little bit there. There is a temptation to fall into

:34:35.:34:38.

the filling it does not matter. It does add up. When Jamelia and I were

:34:39.:34:45.

making the film for a miniseries, we had split pot yoghurt and both of us

:34:46.:34:49.

nearly fell over backwards when we found there were nearly 20 grams of

:34:50.:34:56.

shiver at -- shiver in the yoghurt. For a four to six-year-olds that is

:34:57.:34:59.

more than their day's sugars, which is 19 grams. That is five cubes of

:35:00.:35:04.

sugar. When you get to the seven to ten-year-olds that is six cubes. A

:35:05.:35:12.

muffin as 20 grams of sugar. The messages we have known for a long

:35:13.:35:20.

time about healthy eating. It is difficult to grasp it until it is

:35:21.:35:26.

spelt out. I think that is one of the things that is most important,

:35:27.:35:32.

to simplify the information. I am one of these parents who, I am doing

:35:33.:35:37.

the school run, I feel like I have not got the time to check the sugar

:35:38.:35:43.

content of everything. But having a nap on my phone that allows me to

:35:44.:35:48.

check. I checked something in the car the other day. The girls had

:35:49.:35:52.

this water. We were like, OK, we cannot have that again. They are

:35:53.:35:58.

loving using the app. My girls are 14 and ten. They are aware of the

:35:59.:36:04.

hazards associated with too much sugar. I really do think it is

:36:05.:36:12.

fantastic. I think it is great. It also allows them to be more aware.

:36:13.:36:15.

That is what we need to encourage. It is not only educating parents. It

:36:16.:36:21.

is informing our children so they go on to live lives as healthy adults.

:36:22.:36:25.

If it becomes simple and clear to apply, do you think there is an EA

:36:26.:36:32.

excuse for someone to let their child have too much sugar? -- any

:36:33.:36:39.

excuse. I am definitely not in the way of making anybody feel bad. I

:36:40.:36:44.

understand that we have time constraints, we have some money

:36:45.:36:49.

pressures as parents. But I do believe that if something is offered

:36:50.:36:51.

to us, believe that if something is offered

:36:52.:36:55.

for free, we should. I want to do the best for my children. I

:36:56.:37:01.

for free, we should. I want to do lifestyle. I think having something

:37:02.:37:04.

at my fingertips is a fantastic asset. I definitely would like to

:37:05.:37:08.

take advantage. I would like to encourage other parents to do the

:37:09.:37:13.

same. You said before that shops should not stop plus size clothes. I

:37:14.:37:21.

did not exactly say that. I will not go into the description of it. Is

:37:22.:37:25.

there go into the description of it. Is

:37:26.:37:29.

would suggest is that we all become aware and conscious of our health,

:37:30.:37:35.

the future of our children and ourselves. It is very important to

:37:36.:37:38.

encourage society to be healthy. I don't want my children to have any

:37:39.:37:43.

health risks in the future and I don't want to contribute to that. I

:37:44.:37:49.

feel we need to take care of ourselves and take care of each

:37:50.:37:49.

other. That is important. ourselves and take care of each

:37:50.:37:54.

really good point. When we talk about sugar, it has got these hidden

:37:55.:37:56.

effects. It about sugar, it has got these hidden

:37:57.:38:02.

know that. But also, too much about sugar, it has got these hidden

:38:03.:38:10.

does lead to a risk of obesity. As the film showed, you don't actually

:38:11.:38:13.

see the damage it is causing. When fat

:38:14.:38:19.

see the damage it is causing. When increases the risk of heart disease,

:38:20.:38:21.

type certain cancers. As a parent they

:38:22.:38:26.

are things you don't think about when they are having a lollipop. You

:38:27.:38:35.

are right. Being informed as a parent and being given this simple

:38:36.:38:35.

information is Raly helpful because it brings it right back down to the

:38:36.:38:43.

grassroots. How you feed your children is going to affect them

:38:44.:38:45.

now, children is going to affect them

:38:46.:38:48.

with their health. Giving children the opportunity to take control of

:38:49.:38:53.

with their health. Giving children themselves. Should there be a sugar

:38:54.:38:58.

tax? I think anything that promotes a healthy outcome for our children

:38:59.:39:05.

is worth it. I really do. A lot of parents will say and you alluded to

:39:06.:39:09.

it earlier, I am busy. To feed my children more healthily is

:39:10.:39:14.

expensive. What do you say to parents who say that? Honestly, I

:39:15.:39:21.

think my children are worth the effort. I don't think it takes too

:39:22.:39:28.

long. I am on the phone, I am on Twitter, I am an Instagram. I have

:39:29.:39:33.

time for a social media. I have time to use my app and check whether or

:39:34.:39:36.

not I'm giving my children too much sugar. It is as simple as that. Is

:39:37.:39:41.

it bad parenting if you do not take it seriously enough? I genuinely

:39:42.:39:49.

don't think it is bad parenting. It is not about telling anybody they

:39:50.:39:52.

are a bad parent or anything like that. We need to continue to

:39:53.:39:57.

educate, to educate each other, to be educated, to take our lives

:39:58.:40:04.

seriously. It is New Year and everyone is so hell-bent on renewing

:40:05.:40:07.

themselves and rejuvenating themselves, why not include your

:40:08.:40:12.

children in that? If you take your kids along with you it makes the

:40:13.:40:15.

difference. That is the difficulty for any parent. Of course. Thank you

:40:16.:40:24.

both. We are going to introduce one of your old friends now. We are

:40:25.:40:26.

going to talk about the weather. It is lovely to see you. Nice to see

:40:27.:40:37.

you without your dance shoes as well! Fabulous shoes. Jamelia always

:40:38.:40:46.

cuts a dash, even in our trainers! Do you think you will keep up with

:40:47.:40:52.

the dancing? May be on the dance floor in a club. We will see. No!

:40:53.:41:02.

You could have told me this was going to happen. Moving on. What is

:41:03.:41:14.

the weather?! Lovely to see you. Today's weather is quite unsettled.

:41:15.:41:17.

Lots of people have been asking us why we have had the weather we have

:41:18.:41:23.

had, with all of the rain and the floods. To look back at December,

:41:24.:41:28.

this is the kind of rainfall we had. Hardly surprisingly we did have

:41:29.:41:34.

problems with flooding. A lot of it is to do with the jet stream. The

:41:35.:41:36.

general trend of the jet stream in December was this. A huge great big

:41:37.:41:41.

undulation which meant we sucked in a lot of south-westerly winds.

:41:42.:41:45.

Pulling in tropical air from the tropics. When you have got warm air

:41:46.:41:56.

it tends to hold more moisture. The storms in December was all of that

:41:57.:42:00.

extra moisture landing honours. It is not surprising we had those

:42:01.:42:04.

flooding issues. We do have more heavy rain today, which could lead

:42:05.:42:09.

to some or flooding. Generally the trend for January is this. Over here

:42:10.:42:15.

we have got a big area of high pressure in Moscow. Last night the

:42:16.:42:22.

temperatures were minus 20. This is changing the orientation of the jet

:42:23.:42:26.

stream. If you remember, we had all of these undulations during

:42:27.:42:31.

December. It is now further south and it is flatter. It is taking the

:42:32.:42:35.

tropical air that we had along the Mediterranean. That is where it is

:42:36.:42:39.

good to be particularly wet. What we have instead are lower temperatures.

:42:40.:42:43.

We will not be holding as much moisture. The rain will not be of

:42:44.:42:48.

the magnitude we have seen. It does not mean that we will not still have

:42:49.:42:53.

low pressure. It will also turn colder, with temperatures closer to

:42:54.:42:57.

where they should be. We will see some snow in Central and northern

:42:58.:43:06.

areas. I did not even give you a chance to get a word in! I liked

:43:07.:43:12.

listening to you. Lucio, Joanna. You are such a sweetheart. Today's

:43:13.:43:17.

forecast is still rather wet. For the next few days they will be rain

:43:18.:43:23.

at times. It will be windy and colder than it has been. Tablature

:43:24.:43:27.

is closer to where they should be. Once again we are starting with a

:43:28.:43:33.

Met Office weather warning for heavy rain. It is for north-east Scotland.

:43:34.:43:37.

The risk of localised flooding. We're looking at 100 millimetres

:43:38.:43:42.

plus. It has been fairly persistent in the last couple of days and will

:43:43.:43:46.

be again today, tonight and tomorrow. It is courtesy of this

:43:47.:43:52.

area of low pressure. A lot of showers as well. If you look at

:43:53.:43:56.

these isobars, that is telling you it is windy. A strong wind coming in

:43:57.:44:00.

the off the North Sea. That is whipping up some large waves. The

:44:01.:44:04.

rain will turn to snow over the Grampians. Snow moving across

:44:05.:44:10.

northern England later in the day, particularly the North East. That

:44:11.:44:16.

continues into the afternoon across Scotland. Rain in the east. Still

:44:17.:44:23.

windy. As we slip southwards, it is that mixture of bright spells,

:44:24.:44:26.

sunshine and showers. Wendy this morning across the English Channel.

:44:27.:44:32.

In the afternoon it will still be windy but not as windy as this

:44:33.:44:36.

morning. Showers merging. Longer spells of rain in the south-west of

:44:37.:44:43.

England and South Wales. For North Wales, drier and brighter. We are

:44:44.:44:47.

not immune to a shower. Similar in Northern Ireland. Heading through

:44:48.:44:52.

the evening and overnight, we continue in this vein. Rain in

:44:53.:44:57.

eastern Scotland and eastern England. Still a lot of showers and

:44:58.:45:05.

the snow following. It will be cold in the northern half of the country

:45:06.:45:08.

by day and by night. Milder as we move further south. Note heatwave.

:45:09.:45:13.

Tomorrow the low-pressure centre is here. The winds still gusty but not

:45:14.:45:19.

as strong as today. We continue with the persistent rain in eastern

:45:20.:45:23.

Scotland. Snow on the hills. Move away from that and it is drier and

:45:24.:45:27.

brighter. They will be fewer showers. There will still be some

:45:28.:45:35.

showers around. A cold for degrees in the north to 11 in the South.

:45:36.:45:40.

I'm Joanna Gosling, in for Victoria Derbyshire.

:45:41.:45:43.

Welcome to the programme if you've just joined us.

:45:44.:45:45.

Coming up before 11: In her latest video diary for this programme

:45:46.:45:48.

on her treatment for breast cancer, Victoria talks about chemotherapy

:45:49.:45:50.

and how hard it is to cope with some of the side effects.

:45:51.:45:56.

I have lost about 30 to 50% of my hair.

:45:57.:46:15.

Thanks for all your comments - we'll read some of them

:46:16.:46:20.

And you can see the full film and Victoria's previous diaries

:46:21.:46:24.

on our programme page [email protected].

:46:25.:46:34.

Also coming up, who is the man with the British accent who features in

:46:35.:46:41.

the latest video from the extremist group so called Islamic State

:46:42.:46:44.

threatening to attack the UK? We'll have all the details on the

:46:45.:46:55.

challenge to identify him. Can Simon Danczuk survived the threats to his

:46:56.:46:58.

political life? He has been suspended from the Labour Party over

:46:59.:47:01.

allegations he exchanged explicit text messages with a 17-year-old.

:47:02.:47:05.

We'll get reaction on those revelations.

:47:06.:47:09.

Security services are trying to establish the identity

:47:10.:47:13.

of a masked man with a British accent in a video released

:47:14.:47:16.

The propaganda film apparently shows the killing of five people accused

:47:17.:47:20.

All Iranian diplomats in Saudi Arabia have been given 48

:47:21.:47:32.

hours to leave, after the kingdom cut off diplomatic ties with Tehran.

:47:33.:47:34.

It follows the Saudis' execution of an influential

:47:35.:47:36.

Sweden introduces new border checks for all travellers from Denmark,

:47:37.:47:43.

for the first time in over half a century, in an attempt to reduce

:47:44.:47:46.

Travellers without the right documents are being refused entry.

:47:47.:47:55.

The government is to allow small builders to construct new affordable

:47:56.:48:06.

homes on public land in the latest attempt to stimulate house-building.

:48:07.:48:09.

David Cameron says nothing is more important than ensuring hard-working

:48:10.:48:12.

people can afford to buy affordable homes. Labour accuses him of spin.

:48:13.:48:16.

And parents are urged to use a new app to keep track of sugar

:48:17.:48:19.

content in their children's food and drink.

:48:20.:48:21.

Officials say children aged between four and ten currently get

:48:22.:48:24.

through 22 kilos of added sugar a year -

:48:25.:48:26.

more than the weight of the average five-year-old.

:48:27.:48:34.

Let's catch up with all the sport now and join Jess.

:48:35.:48:39.

Good morning. the second test. I am joined by a

:48:40.:48:53.

Test match special and Tait from Cape Town to

:48:54.:49:01.

Test match special and Tait from react to such an historic knock?

:49:02.:49:03.

Good morning. Anybody and Newlands yesterday knew that they were

:49:04.:49:08.

witnessing something that might only happen to a player once in their

:49:09.:49:12.

lifetime, it might be an innings you only witness once-in-a-lifetime. It

:49:13.:49:17.

was extraordinary, the fastest ever 250 in Test matches for Ben Stokes.

:49:18.:49:22.

And nobody has ever scored 130 in a prelunch session before. The most

:49:23.:49:25.

destructive innings I have ever seen. It was clear to see

:49:26.:49:33.

destructive innings I have ever players last night back at the hotel

:49:34.:49:33.

and even this morning still marvelling

:49:34.:49:37.

Really was a fantastic performance. Today South Africa hoping to make

:49:38.:49:39.

Really was a fantastic performance. dent in the first innings total of

:49:40.:49:44.

623, or 6209I should say, how are they getting on? It has been hard

:49:45.:49:49.

going for the batsmen this morning. They have not lost a wicket yet. As

:49:50.:49:54.

I say that, a B de Villiers is launching the spinner Moeen Ali

:49:55.:49:58.

backdown the ground. Boundaries had been hard to come by. There was a

:49:59.:50:05.

boundary earlier off Stuart Broad. De Villiers brings up his 50. Amla

:50:06.:50:13.

was dropped a few moments ago by James Anderson at first slip, Joe

:50:14.:50:18.

Root was the bowler. Brought on for some part-time spin. The chance has

:50:19.:50:26.

gone down. South Africa now 180-2. Still a hefty number of runs behind

:50:27.:50:31.

England. In the Premier League, Chelsea's temporary manager Guus

:50:32.:50:33.

Hiddink says a Champions League spot is still possible after their first

:50:34.:50:37.

win since he replaced Jose Mourinho. They beat Crystal Palace 3-0 away at

:50:38.:50:42.

Selhurst Park yesterday. A boost for the defending champions who rise to

:50:43.:50:47.

14th in the table. After the game Captain John Terry apologised

:50:48.:50:49.

14th in the table. After the game start of the season and admits the

:50:50.:50:53.

players let everyone down. This league has become so strong that

:50:54.:50:58.

everyone can win from everywhere. So it means that it is very difficult

:50:59.:51:02.

to get there. But as long as we play like that we can be happy, and

:51:03.:51:10.

automatically then the results will come. It is possible, still, but a

:51:11.:51:13.

long way to go. The first of the two world darts championship is over

:51:14.:51:16.

with Gary Anderson retaining the PDC crown at Alexander Palace last

:51:17.:51:21.

night. He beat Adrian Lewis 7-5 in the final which included a 170

:51:22.:51:26.

checkout in the final set. He takes a cheque for ?300,000. And the

:51:27.:51:32.

checkout in the final set. He takes World Championship continues on BBC

:51:33.:51:34.

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

:51:35.:51:41.

live with Ben Stokes's dad after his son's record-breaking innings for

:51:42.:51:42.

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

:51:43.:51:55.

just joined us, on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel until 11am.

:51:56.:51:57.

Throughout the programme we'll bring you the latest developing news and

:51:58.:52:00.

stories and we are keen to hear from you on all the stories we are

:52:01.:52:04.

talking about. Your contributions to this programme and your expertise

:52:05.:52:09.

really are key. Loads of you getting in touch with us this morning about

:52:10.:52:13.

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

:52:14.:52:19.

Laura Drake says, wow, what a brave lady. Such a huge amount of respect

:52:20.:52:22.

for Victoria, what an inspiration. This one says it did grow back, and

:52:23.:53:13.

even more profuse than before, great excitement when it started going.

:53:14.:53:21.

Good luck with the rest of treatment. The radiotherapy is

:53:22.:53:24.

tedious but a doddle compared with chemo. This one says, thank you

:53:25.:53:30.

Victoria, my journey has been weekly chemo and the most distressing part

:53:31.:53:34.

has been my hair loss. Thank you for your diary. If you want to watch the

:53:35.:53:39.

full diary or share it, you can find it on the website. We will play some

:53:40.:53:45.

more of Victoria's diary of a little later.

:53:46.:53:48.

British security and intelligence agencies are examining the latest

:53:49.:53:57.

video by so-called Islamic State. It appears to show a man and young boy

:53:58.:54:02.

with British accents. In the 11 minute film, five men accused of

:54:03.:54:05.

spying for Britain are reportedly shot dead. The man with the British

:54:06.:54:11.

accent is also seen addressing David Cameron, mocking the RAF bombing

:54:12.:54:14.

campaign against IS in Syria, and issues this threat.

:54:15.:54:26.

Our security correspondent, Frank Gardner, is here.

:54:27.:54:37.

Thank you both for coming in. What do you make of this latest video? It

:54:38.:54:46.

shows they are under pressure. This is the sort of thing they do every

:54:47.:54:49.

time they are under pressure, particularly through aerial bombing.

:54:50.:54:53.

But I think it is also a very interesting insight into the

:54:54.:54:58.

mindset, into how they define Sixtus, and how they see the West in

:54:59.:55:05.

particular -- define success. In what way? They are saying in Iraq

:55:06.:55:09.

and Afghanistan you are effectively ran away and duplication is that you

:55:10.:55:14.

are going to run away and allow us to continue -- the implication. The

:55:15.:55:19.

view that they have of the world is that the West lacks stamina, lacks

:55:20.:55:24.

the commitment, and eventually it will lose interest and they will

:55:25.:55:28.

survive and the West will decline. will lose interest and they will

:55:29.:55:30.

And that's the dangerous idea that is motivating them and their

:55:31.:55:34.

supporters. What are your thoughts on the latest video, Frank? I agree,

:55:35.:55:41.

but part of it is also trying to warn people in Iraq are and other

:55:42.:55:46.

areas under their control, don't report as. This is the fate, bullet

:55:47.:55:51.

in the back of the head for anybody who dares to spy on us. Because IS

:55:52.:55:58.

don't distinguish between citizen bloggers who are simply getting news

:55:59.:56:01.

out to the outside world of what life is like under their rule, and

:56:02.:56:06.

somebody who might be a paid-up informant for a Western intelligence

:56:07.:56:09.

agency. As far as they are concerned, they are all spies and

:56:10.:56:13.

they just want to eliminate them and warn others not to do that. The

:56:14.:56:18.

person with a British accent already being described as a new Jihadi

:56:19.:56:22.

John, how much of a propaganda coup if this? I certainly don't think it

:56:23.:56:26.

is a coup, it will probably be a short list attempt by this guy to

:56:27.:56:32.

take on the mantle of Mohammed Mohammed Emwazi, or so-called Jihadi

:56:33.:56:36.

John. It's not going to be difficult for spooks to work out who he is,

:56:37.:56:39.

his eyes are showing, his voice is not the skies, they probably already

:56:40.:56:45.

know. I doubt anybody in government will confirm it because this is

:56:46.:56:49.

somebody who is going to probably end up my guess is on a target

:56:50.:56:52.

missed in the way that other British jihadis have, who has visibly killed

:56:53.:56:57.

people on camera and threatened their own country. What sort of

:56:58.:57:02.

resources would you imagine would be being directed by now at finding out

:57:03.:57:06.

who he is and try to take him out in the same way Mohammed Mohammed

:57:07.:57:09.

Emwazi was? I think the resources will be voice analysis and facial

:57:10.:57:14.

recognition, which can be done partially with the eyes. As Frank

:57:15.:57:21.

has set I think it is very likely there is a very good idea as to his

:57:22.:57:27.

identity. And he may well already be on a target list, and he will be

:57:28.:57:32.

visited by something from the air in the near future. How would you

:57:33.:57:38.

assess our position now, after Britain got involved in the air

:57:39.:57:41.

strikes against Syria? Is this a direct reaction to that, and are we

:57:42.:57:47.

at a materially greater threat? It is a direct reaction to the air

:57:48.:57:51.

strike decision in Parliament, but are we in a greater threat? I'm not

:57:52.:57:55.

sure we are. Essentially we have been attacking IS both in Syria and

:57:56.:58:02.

Iraq, albeit at a lower level. We have attacked targets in Syria using

:58:03.:58:08.

drones. So I'm not sure we are at any greater threat. These things,

:58:09.:58:12.

the only reason that the Prime Minister could get the votes through

:58:13.:58:15.

Parliament was because they had attacked British interests in

:58:16.:58:19.

Tunisia and abroad. They have attacked Europeans. And almost

:58:20.:58:25.

certainly their supporters will be attacking us today, yesterday, if

:58:26.:58:31.

they had the opportunity. I am not sure we are at a greater threat. In

:58:32.:58:35.

fact hopefully if this campaign actually morphs into an effective

:58:36.:58:42.

strategy against Daesh we will be restricting the threat. What we need

:58:43.:58:48.

is a strategy that has the aim of destroying this organisation. That

:58:49.:58:55.

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

:58:56.:58:56.

is what is missing. Once we have than we are now. Going back to what

:58:57.:58:59.

you were saying earlier about the perception that the West lacks

:59:00.:59:03.

stamina, that is borne out, is it not, by what has happened in the

:59:04.:59:08.

past? To some degree it is. And I think what we need here is a

:59:09.:59:13.

strategy that is short-term, that takes away the defining identity of

:59:14.:59:19.

this organisation which is territory. And that is relatively

:59:20.:59:25.

quick and easy to do compared to, for example, Al-Qaeda, which defined

:59:26.:59:35.

itself as an operationally capable operation. We must leave this, we

:59:36.:59:39.

are expecting Simon Danczuk is about to leave his home or office. Our

:59:40.:59:47.

reporter is there outside his constituency office in Rochdale.

:59:48.:59:51.

What is happening? He has just come out, here. We are live outside his

:59:52.:00:01.

constituency at the moment, this is the first time he is speaking about

:00:02.:00:08.

these allegations over the weekend. I have been in the constituency most

:00:09.:00:12.

of the week. We are getting around and doing what MPs do, meeting

:00:13.:00:16.

constituents, learning about what the issues are and things. Mr

:00:17.:00:21.

Dancuzk, you are live on the news channel, BBC. What is your reaction

:00:22.:00:30.

to these allegations. Your former girlfriend said that your drinking

:00:31.:00:35.

problems were affecting your ability to be a member of Parliament.

:00:36.:00:47.

it is not further ex-wives are ex-girlfriends to determine who the

:00:48.:00:53.

MP for Rochdale is. I'm going to have a good chat to the people of

:00:54.:01:01.

Ross Taylor by this. It is nice to have come to Sears. Thank you very

:01:02.:01:04.

much. Some of your constituents feel it would be wise for you to step

:01:05.:01:11.

down. What do you say to that? Mr Danczuk?

:01:12.:01:21.

OK, that was Simon Dan choke, MP for Rochdale. As you heard, he said was

:01:22.:01:28.

up to the constituents to decide whether he step down after the

:01:29.:01:32.

allegations that were reported in the paper over the weekend. Let's

:01:33.:01:40.

remind you what they were. He was accused of sending texts to a

:01:41.:01:44.

17-year-old girl saying inappropriate things. She said that

:01:45.:01:50.

she felt quite worried about it after she received them. Then he

:01:51.:01:54.

came out and told a tabloid newspaper yesterday that the reason

:01:55.:01:59.

he had sent them was because he had a drinking problem. A former

:02:00.:02:04.

girlfriend, Claire Hamilton, says she broke up with him a few days

:02:05.:02:10.

ago, on the 27th of December, the day after Boxing Day, because she

:02:11.:02:12.

could not take it any more. She felt day after Boxing Day, because she

:02:13.:02:18.

his drinking had got out of control and she was encouraging him to get

:02:19.:02:21.

some help. We have not heard from him about those allegations.

:02:22.:02:27.

Hopefully we will in the not too distant future. Have you been able

:02:28.:02:30.

to speak to many constituents further their views on what is going

:02:31.:02:40.

on? He was saying it is for the residents of Rochdale to determine

:02:41.:02:43.

Horwill is their MP. I spent the day here yesterday and spoke to many

:02:44.:02:48.

people. It was difficult to find anybody who felt he should stay in

:02:49.:02:53.

his position. There was a lot of negativity. A lot of people felt

:02:54.:02:55.

they had been let down. -- let down. negativity. A lot of people felt

:02:56.:03:01.

Those people who did vote for him said they voted for the party rather

:03:02.:03:06.

than him. It will not be up to them. It will be up to the Labour Party,

:03:07.:03:09.

who will be carrying out an investigation. They will make a

:03:10.:03:12.

decision on whether he needs to step down and whether there could be a

:03:13.:03:18.

by-election in this constituency. Yankee very much.

:03:19.:03:24.

Liz Thirsk is a Liberal Democrat councillor for Rochdale,

:03:25.:03:26.

And John Blundell is a Labour councillor who is backing him.

:03:27.:03:31.

First of all to you John, we heard him say that it is for the residents

:03:32.:03:44.

to decide on his future. Is it suitable for him to be an MP? People

:03:45.:03:51.

are very disappointed. They are very saddened by the way it has gone.

:03:52.:03:55.

People think it is distasteful about the way this young girl has been

:03:56.:03:59.

treated. She has had her name dragged through the Kell Brook. It

:04:00.:04:07.

is a nice episode. Should he go? Ultimately it is down to

:04:08.:04:11.

constituents. If a number of people are against him being an MP, that

:04:12.:04:16.

should be the case. We cannot listen to a select few who do not like him.

:04:17.:04:19.

It has to be about his popular support in Rochdale. He has been

:04:20.:04:25.

suspended. There is talk about him potentially being suspended for life

:04:26.:04:30.

from the Labour Party. The Labour Party should have an investigation

:04:31.:04:36.

into the conduct of MPs when it is questionable. The police have said

:04:37.:04:39.

he has not done anything illegal. Ultimately the Labour Party will

:04:40.:04:44.

have its say. As the lady said before, people vote for the Labour

:04:45.:04:51.

Party. It is not always about the member of Parliament. Liz Thirsk,

:04:52.:05:01.

former Liberal Democrat councillor, you have organised a demonstration

:05:02.:05:05.

against Simon Danczuk today. Why have you done that? Have done that

:05:06.:05:13.

based on his -- these sexual allegations. I feel somebody who has

:05:14.:05:22.

championed... Instead of telling this young girl, thank you for your

:05:23.:05:27.

interest in a job, here is your e-mail address, he carried on an

:05:28.:05:33.

affair with her online. He found out she was 17. She could have been 15.

:05:34.:05:37.

As for the police, they have not investigated it. He cannot decide he

:05:38.:05:46.

has got nothing to answer. They have to see what these messages were what

:05:47.:05:49.

the images were that were sent to him. His former girlfriend says he

:05:50.:05:54.

has been messaging other young women. The police have said there is

:05:55.:06:00.

nothing illegal that he has done. They have looked into it. You said

:06:01.:06:06.

she could have been 15. She was 17. He did not know. I am not having

:06:07.:06:16.

that. He was the one who said he did not want the whitewash. The new

:06:17.:06:24.

chief con will will not whitewash this. Until they look and see what

:06:25.:06:30.

those messages were and who else he has been messaging, we do not know

:06:31.:06:31.

what he has been doing. You're casting around a lot of allegations.

:06:32.:06:37.

I am saying he needs to be investigated. He should hand over

:06:38.:06:44.

his computer, his phone and say, here UART, I have done nothing else.

:06:45.:06:48.

I don't think he will. If he doesn't, they should take them. We

:06:49.:06:55.

have got a big problem in this time with child sexual and eight on. I

:06:56.:06:58.

have had personal experience with this. I have spoken to people who

:06:59.:07:03.

have. We know how difficult it is for kids to come through this.

:07:04.:07:10.

People in his position have a legal duty to safeguard. He should have

:07:11.:07:18.

got in touch with local authorities. He is wrong. The police have said

:07:19.:07:23.

they have looked at it and he has done nothing illegal. This is

:07:24.:07:27.

somebody who did not -- he did not meet. I do not believe they have

:07:28.:07:34.

investigated him. They have looked at these messages and pictures. I

:07:35.:07:37.

want them to look through his phone and his computer. Let's let John

:07:38.:07:45.

come in. She does not know that they have not. I believe that the police,

:07:46.:07:51.

if they have not carried out an investigation properly, they should

:07:52.:07:52.

have done and they should do. investigation properly, they should

:07:53.:07:57.

as I am aware, they have done. The Labour Party is carrying out an

:07:58.:08:01.

investigation into his conduct. The National Executive Committee will

:08:02.:08:07.

have the final say on that. Liz Thirsk does not like Simon. She does

:08:08.:08:11.

not like the Rochdale Labour Party. She is not reflective of people's

:08:12.:08:18.

views in Rochdale. There is a lot of discontent with Simon over what he

:08:19.:08:22.

has done. He has apologised and he has said he behaved like a fool. But

:08:23.:08:27.

the idea that Liz Thirsk is reflective of these people's views

:08:28.:08:32.

is rubbish. Does he need help? He has said he has got a drink problem.

:08:33.:08:37.

If that is the case he should seek help and he should do it quickly.

:08:38.:08:42.

Whilst he remains member of Parliament, he has to work through

:08:43.:08:45.

these issues quickly. Does it undermine all of the hard-working

:08:46.:08:48.

has done to raise awareness on these issues that have affected his

:08:49.:08:53.

constituency? I hope it does not undermine the work he has done an

:08:54.:08:59.

child exploitation. They are very important things. But obviously it

:09:00.:09:04.

does register in people's heads, why did he do it? That is why he has got

:09:05.:09:10.

to reconcile with his public if he wants to remain MP. We should not

:09:11.:09:16.

have a show trial like Liz Thirsk once. Cast doubt over his conduct

:09:17.:09:24.

and make a decision. I am interested in what the police have to say and

:09:25.:09:30.

the Labour Party. At the end of the day people voted for the Labour

:09:31.:09:35.

Party and not necessarily Simon Danczuk. Has he been popular? Until

:09:36.:09:41.

now, yes. He has had the biggest majority of Rochdale MP has ever

:09:42.:09:45.

had. There must be immense pressure on him at the heart of a storm like

:09:46.:09:50.

this? Hissy somebody you know well? He is my MP and I am a Labour

:09:51.:09:56.

councillor in Rochdale. I know him fairly well. It will be putting

:09:57.:09:59.

enormous pressure on him. I should imagine he feels like an idiot. He

:10:00.:10:04.

has behaved like an idiot. He has admitted that. If it is down to a

:10:05.:10:15.

drink problem, he must address it. Some of his friends who have been

:10:16.:10:16.

quoted in the media anonymously have said it is not fair if he is not

:10:17.:10:22.

treated like any other MP. He has not been a friend of the new Labour

:10:23.:10:26.

party leadership. Some suggesting he may be treated differently as a

:10:27.:10:32.

result. I hope not. I think it would be foolish of Jeremy Corbyn to get

:10:33.:10:38.

involved. Is it being treated in an evenhanded way so far? Yes. Simon

:10:39.:10:45.

has doubts over Ken Livingstone. At the end of the day they are the

:10:46.:10:49.

Labour Party's elected representatives and they will have

:10:50.:10:54.

the final say. People in Rochdale want to hear the facts. What is the

:10:55.:11:00.

police said? What of the Labour Party said? We should not pander to

:11:01.:11:03.

people like Liz Thirsk, who just want to get at him. She is a Liberal

:11:04.:11:08.

Democrat who lost her seat. Simon could have done anything, he could

:11:09.:11:12.

have got a parking charge, she would still be calling for a resignation.

:11:13.:11:17.

She is not representative of people in Rochdale. Thank you very much to

:11:18.:11:22.

John Blundell and Liz Thirsk. Dental health standards are falling

:11:23.:11:27.

to third World levels in parts of England because of a crisis of

:11:28.:11:31.

access to NHS treatment, according to 400 dentists. They have written

:11:32.:11:40.

to the Daily Telegraph sing it is no national

:11:41.:11:40.

to the Daily Telegraph sing it is no under the age of ten are more likely

:11:41.:11:40.

to be treated in hospital for a rotten teeth than any other medical

:11:41.:11:46.

reason. Doctor Tony Clubb coin is a dentist in height. What moved you to

:11:47.:11:54.

take action on this? Good morning. The whole dental profession has been

:11:55.:12:01.

devastated about the levels of child dental health and adult dental

:12:02.:12:06.

health for a number of years. Our protestations and requests sent to

:12:07.:12:11.

people who run the NHS dental system seemed to have fallen on deaf ears.

:12:12.:12:16.

There is must know prevention. Now we have such a sorry state that the

:12:17.:12:21.

number one reason any child under ten is likely to be hospitalised,

:12:22.:12:25.

the number one medical reason, is rotten teeth. That is a national

:12:26.:12:29.

disgrace. What needs to be done to change it? What has been the main

:12:30.:12:36.

factor? The biggest problem is they raise a massive level of public

:12:37.:12:41.

ignorance about dental prevention. The national dental strategy is not

:12:42.:12:45.

aimed at prevention. It is aimed at trying to put out fires. If you are

:12:46.:12:47.

putting out one fire and trying to put out fires. If you are

:12:48.:12:52.

fires start, that is useless. In fact the fire service did a

:12:53.:12:56.

wonderful prevention media campaign to inform the public fires, smoke

:12:57.:13:02.

inhalation, Rav the lowest they have ever been. There is no reason this

:13:03.:13:07.

cannot be done for dentistry. Children born today should not be

:13:08.:13:13.

hospitalised for rotten teeth. Does it boils down to the subject we have

:13:14.:13:17.

been talking about already today, sugar, and cutting down the intake?

:13:18.:13:24.

For sure, sugar is the number-1 reason for causing tooth decay and

:13:25.:13:30.

eventually and bacteria. Sugar is hidden in so many foods. It is not

:13:31.:13:35.

obvious to people. I am not just talking about a sweet and treats.

:13:36.:13:39.

Healthy snacks that say on the packet, healthy, and approved by

:13:40.:13:46.

mothers, sometimes have 60% or 70% sugar in there. People do not

:13:47.:13:50.

realise how many sugar attacks they are having on their teeth. The

:13:51.:14:01.

damage is already being done. That damage does not happen overnight.

:14:02.:14:06.

What has been going on for a child to get to the stage of being

:14:07.:14:09.

hospitalised? Basically it is the frequency of sugar attacks. A lot of

:14:10.:14:13.

people do not realise that modern dentistry is about prevention,

:14:14.:14:17.

regular visits, stopping problems before they start. If people are

:14:18.:14:20.

bringing children along to the dentist, in pain, in a distressing

:14:21.:14:25.

situation, they will hardly be receptive to prevention advice. It

:14:26.:14:29.

is wonderful that you guys are highlighting this to the public so

:14:30.:14:34.

they realise they need to prevent these problems. There is no central

:14:35.:14:38.

strategy. What about six monthly checkups? That is standard, isn't

:14:39.:14:48.

it? The NHS is spread so thin, it is such a limited dental system, that

:14:49.:14:51.

they are now sending people away for two years. Even adults are missing

:14:52.:14:55.

out on their checks. Oral cancer now kills more people than survival and

:14:56.:15:02.

testicular cancer together. It is not a prevention -based system.

:15:03.:15:08.

We have had a statement from NHS England saying these claims are

:15:09.:15:15.

wrong, 93% of people got an NHS dental appointment when they wanted

:15:16.:15:18.

wrong, 93% of people got an NHS one in the last 24 months, how does

:15:19.:15:19.

that square with what you are saying? I'm sure you are familiar

:15:20.:15:24.

with the same lies, dammed lies and statistics, and that is one that is

:15:25.:15:29.

often used by NHS England. The truth is, only half of the population have

:15:30.:15:34.

even seen a dentist in the last 24 months, a third of children still

:15:35.:15:37.

haven't seen a dentist in the last two years. Look, they are stuck in

:15:38.:15:43.

denial, keep coming up with numbers and statistics, they are not

:15:44.:15:50.

addressing the real problem. And the reason over 400 dental professionals

:15:51.:15:50.

sign this letter in the Daily Telegraph is to whistle-blower

:15:51.:15:55.

publicly and say, look, this is a growing tragedy of third World

:15:56.:15:58.

proportions and it is time for action and not hiding behind lies,

:15:59.:16:01.

statistics, and not actually getting to grips with providing proper

:16:02.:16:07.

systems in the public interest of white Ian on Twitter says dental

:16:08.:16:11.

problems are down to the greed of dentists. It is so expensive to get

:16:12.:16:15.

dental treatment, often, isn't it? The most expensive thing is

:16:16.:16:20.

dental treatment, often, isn't it? neglecting your mouth, letting rot

:16:21.:16:22.

get established in the mouth and losing loads of teeth. Dental

:16:23.:16:27.

implants do cost ?2000. It is the most advanced dentistry you can get.

:16:28.:16:30.

implants do cost ?2000. It is the It is not available on NHS

dentistry. But if I said to all the public, every tooth in your head is

:16:35.:16:39.

worth ?2000, if you had 20 or 30 diamonds or gems would you let them

:16:40.:16:43.

go tarnished, let them rot? Would you let them be lost needlessly? You

would look after them, polished them, and make them last for life.

:16:48.:16:52.

This needs to get out of the public, your teeth are valuable and affect

:16:53.:16:55.

the quality of your life. Children have been admitted to hospital,

:16:56.:16:58.

starting off with a sweet tooth, rotten tooth, and a horrible first

This is the interview we have been waiting for.

:20:47.:20:50.

Thank you. Sports pages full of one man this morning. Ben Stokes, after

:20:51.:20:56.

his remarkable innings for England against South Africa yesterday. We

:20:57.:21:01.

will be talking to his dad in just a few minutes, but let's look at the

:21:02.:21:07.

records he broke. His knock of 254 was quite something, the fastest

:21:08.:21:11.

double test century by an England batsman, taking 163 balls, beating

:21:12.:21:19.

Sir Ian Botham's record. Fastest 250 in Test cricket history overtaking

:21:20.:21:23.

Veranda say Wagg's 207 balls for India in 2009.

:21:24.:21:26.

More sixes than any other Englishmen. He cleared the boundary

:21:27.:21:33.

11 times. I'm delighted to be joined by Ben Stokes's dad, who is over in

:21:34.:21:39.

New Zealand. Think they are on day three on the lunch break at the

:21:40.:21:42.

moment, aren't they? I know you played cricket as a young man, so

:21:43.:21:48.

who is taking credit for the heroics of your son? Probably goes to my

:21:49.:21:57.

wife Deborah. She was still playing cricket while she carried them,

:21:58.:22:00.

think she played up to a couple of months before he was born. So I

:22:01.:22:06.

think she's got to take the majority of credit. How did you both react to

:22:07.:22:13.

the remarkable innings? Tremendous, very proud. We were lucky last

:22:14.:22:22.

night, we had an evening arranged with quite a few

:22:23.:22:22.

night, we had an evening arranged here were around at the same time.

:22:23.:22:28.

Compelling viewing. Especially when we knew he was sitting on 76

:22:29.:22:33.

overnight. We were all round the table looking at the screen watching

:22:34.:22:37.

him get his hundred. Little did we know we would be sitting there

:22:38.:22:45.

watching him score 250. Tremendous time for us as a family. He has long

:22:46.:22:46.

watching him score 250. Tremendous been known as a decent all-rounder,

:22:47.:22:50.

but did you realise he was capable of something so special? We knew he

:22:51.:22:56.

had the skills, no doubt about that. And it was just probably the time,

:22:57.:23:00.

the wicket he needed, and the opportunity, I guess. But I think is

:23:01.:23:06.

aways have the ability to get a lot of runs. He's a very attacking

:23:07.:23:11.

batsman. Sometimes that's to his detriment, as a lot of the pundits

:23:12.:23:14.

have already indicated, there will be a lot of failures in between the

:23:15.:23:18.

good stuff as well, because of that attitude he has towards his batting.

:23:19.:23:22.

He goes out and tries to dominate the bowling. And I guess, as I said,

:23:23.:23:28.

that sometimes does put him in a position where he looks like he's

:23:29.:23:33.

thrown his wicket away. But he always tries and works hard for the

:23:34.:23:36.

team and I think that comes through in all his innings. How did his

:23:37.:23:42.

journey in cricket start? Say that again. Where did he first start

:23:43.:23:45.

playing cricket and get into the sport? He started playing in the

:23:46.:23:48.

hallway at home and as soon as he sport? He started playing in the

:23:49.:23:54.

could start walking he picked up a plastic bat and had a natural

:23:55.:23:59.

ability. As a kid he always wanted to play cricket and everybody who

:24:00.:24:02.

came round the house, he wanted to play cricket with them. We spent a

:24:03.:24:07.

lot of time on the backyard wall. As he got older he joined the clubs

:24:08.:24:10.

around the district that we lived in. And played cricket, has a lot of

:24:11.:24:16.

kids do in New Zealand. When we moved to England the first thing he

:24:17.:24:20.

did was look to the local cricket club which he found to be just round

:24:21.:24:25.

the corner. So his introduction to England was probably more over the

:24:26.:24:31.

cricket than it was the rugby league which is what we were over four. He

:24:32.:24:35.

did play rugby league but cricket was his main priority. Thank you so

:24:36.:24:39.

much for joining us, what a proud that you must be. My pleasure. We'll

:24:40.:24:44.

have updates on the second test Edwin England and South

:24:45.:24:56.

Saudi Arabia has cut diplomatic relations with Iran,

:24:57.:25:02.

The Saudi Embassy in Tehran was ransacked on Saturday by people

:25:03.:25:05.

protesting against the killing of Nimr al-Nimr.

:25:06.:25:13.

Iranian diplomats have now been given 48 hours to leave Saudi

:25:14.:25:16.

The execution has inflamed sectarian tensions in the Middle East that

:25:17.:25:19.

have already been fanned by the civil war in Syria

:25:20.:25:22.

Jane Kinninmount is a Saudi Arabia expert from the policy research

:25:23.:27:23.

against the execution of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr,

:27:24.:27:28.

outside the Saudi Embassy in London this weekend.

:27:29.:27:33.

We did invite the Saudi Ambassador to the UK and the Saudi government

:27:34.:27:45.

Jane, how would you assess the dangers of the current situation? It

:27:46.:27:52.

has come at a time when there was already extreme tension between

:27:53.:28:00.

Saudi Arabia and Iran. They are on opposite sides of various conflicts

:28:01.:28:01.

including the one in Syria and the one in Yemen where the ceasefire has

:28:02.:28:07.

just broken down. So something that might, at another time, has been an

:28:08.:28:12.

internal Saudi issue about the execution of a dissident has really

:28:13.:28:15.

caught fire and fanned the flames of an existing regionwide struggle.

:28:16.:28:21.

They will have known what they were doing at this time, what do you make

:28:22.:28:26.

of the timing? The reaction is indeed largely predictable. Shaking

:28:27.:28:30.

was originally arrested in 2014 indeed largely predictable. Shaking

:28:31.:28:37.

the decision to go along with this execution along with a number of

:28:38.:28:43.

people associated with Al-Qaeda and Isis probably partly reflects a new

:28:44.:28:46.

leadership that has come into power in Saudi Arabia over the last year,

:28:47.:28:50.

which is determined to take quite a hard line on a number of internal

:28:51.:28:56.

regional security threats. Fatime, we said you were out demonstrating,

:28:57.:29:05.

why was that? We have been demonstrating weekly outside the

:29:06.:29:11.

Saudi embassy requesting the release of Sheikh Nimr, because he is a

:29:12.:29:14.

human rights activist very well known for associating with critics

:29:15.:29:23.

of the government, people that are threatening the monarchy because

:29:24.:29:25.

they know that if they do go ahead with the Democratic Saudi Arabia it

:29:26.:29:32.

would be the end of the Yarl's Wood monarchy. And I have been protesting

:29:33.:29:39.

because I believe the prominent ally should be questioned, our

:29:40.:29:41.

relationship with Saudi Arabia. I don't think we should have such a

:29:42.:29:46.

strong relationship with a country that is openly committing atrocities

:29:47.:29:51.

similar to Isis, yet we are accessing it, we have not stood

:29:52.:29:55.

against it, not enough pressure has been placed on Saudi Arabia to

:29:56.:29:59.

change their laws. Sheikh Nimr, as I mentioned, was a human rights

:30:00.:30:03.

activist. And following the weekly protests, we've had no difference in

:30:04.:30:08.

UK policy against Saudi Arabia. So this weekend on Saturday we shifted

:30:09.:30:14.

from asking for a release to condemning his death. And Sunday

:30:15.:30:19.

followed another protest outside the Saudi Arabia embassy.

:30:20.:30:25.

Saudi Arabia describes him as a terrorist. She and others describe

:30:26.:30:35.

him as a human rights activist. What did Saudi Arabia say he had done? It

:30:36.:30:41.

is important to note that terrorism in Saudi Arabia is defined more

:30:42.:30:47.

broadly than in the UK. There were a long list of charges against him,

:30:48.:30:49.

including inciting disobedience against the Government, encouraging

:30:50.:30:54.

foreign meddling, which was assumed to be a reference to Iran. He said

:30:55.:31:02.

it could be possible for Saudi shears to seek external assistance.

:31:03.:31:09.

Essentially the Government was accusing him of inciting violence

:31:10.:31:11.

against the police but not it seems direct involvement in terrorism.

:31:12.:31:16.

Fatima, where do things go from here? I think as British citizens we

:31:17.:31:23.

should be placing pressure on our government, a government that is

:31:24.:31:27.

supposed to represent its citizens, and as people we need a more

:31:28.:31:32.

transparent political analysis of the relationship that we have with

:31:33.:31:37.

Saudi Arabia. In terms of the immediate impact of it? In Iran we

:31:38.:31:43.

have seen violent protests. Are you worried about how this situation

:31:44.:31:51.

might escalate? To be honest my concern largely lies with the UK as

:31:52.:31:58.

I am a citizen here. I would like to see a difference between the

:31:59.:31:58.

relationship that I've mentioned with Saudi Arabia. I would like to

:31:59.:32:02.

remind the public that this is a sectarian issue. Nimr al-Nimr stood

:32:03.:32:19.

up against inequality. There is a similar attitude towards a sunny

:32:20.:32:25.

blogger. The Saudi government and the monarchy, it seems the only

:32:26.:32:28.

retaliation to critics to human rights activists is to simply kill

:32:29.:32:31.

them. We have seen that happening across the world. I also think it is

:32:32.:32:38.

very important to remember that Saudi identifies their religious

:32:39.:32:44.

sect as Wahhabi is. It believes in the Killian -- killing of

:32:45.:32:52.

non-believers. We have just seen the British jihadi. If we are talking

:32:53.:32:59.

about de-radicalisation in the UK, we need to understand that the

:33:00.:33:04.

largest oil producer in the world has Wahhabi literature distributed

:33:05.:33:07.

around the country. A quick final thought, you want to see a different

:33:08.:33:14.

attitude between Britain and Saudi Arabia. Is that likely? There is a

:33:15.:33:21.

mismatch between the heart of the public opinion and public criticism

:33:22.:33:24.

of Saudi Arabia and the Government's desire to forge a stronger

:33:25.:33:29.

relationship with it. It is an oversimplification of Saudi Arabia's

:33:30.:33:36.

attitude towards Islam. They would argue that Isis is a massive threat

:33:37.:33:48.

to Saudi Arabia. They are funding such a terrorist organisation. That

:33:49.:33:53.

is an allegation that has been made but not confirmed. There is a moral

:33:54.:34:00.

ass of views. Saudi Arabia is a country of which opinion is

:34:01.:34:03.

polarised in the Western world and in the Middle East. Written sees it

:34:04.:34:09.

as one of its primary allies in the Middle East. That is largely down to

:34:10.:34:14.

the 100 billion largely private Saudi funds invested in the British

:34:15.:34:20.

economy. It is economic rather than moral. I think that David Cameron

:34:21.:34:26.

and his government should follow the public in what they would like to

:34:27.:34:27.

see. Thank you both.

:34:28.:34:34.

Still to come, Victoria's latest video diary about coping with the

:34:35.:34:41.

side effects of chemotherapy. A Labour MP touted to replace Maria

:34:42.:34:45.

Eagle as Shadow Defence Secretary has told this programme he would

:34:46.:34:49.

only do the job at Jeremy Corbyn said it was essential. Clive Lewis,

:34:50.:34:54.

a shadow minister, told us talk linking in with the front bench

:34:55.:34:56.

position was speculation and he had not been offered it. I have not been

:34:57.:35:01.

spoken to by anybody. It is complete speculation. Would you want to do

:35:02.:35:08.

it? No. I have been an MP for eight months. I'm on the shadow front

:35:09.:35:12.

bench. It is a steep learning curve being an MP. To be in the shadow

:35:13.:35:16.

cabinet is another league altogether. I want to pace myself

:35:17.:35:21.

like most people who come into Parliament. That is my honest

:35:22.:35:27.

opinion. If you were offered it, would you say no? If Jeremy Corbyn

:35:28.:35:33.

said he needed me to do it, it was essential, I would have to think

:35:34.:35:36.

about it. But my initial inclination would be to say no. I have been in

:35:37.:35:41.

the job eight months. This is speculation. I wanted to pick up on

:35:42.:35:48.

the revenge reshuffle, the way it has been framed. If David Cameron

:35:49.:35:53.

had a reshuffle it would be a reshuffle. Not a revenge reshuffle.

:35:54.:35:57.

Political leaders throughout the history of the Parliamentary Labour

:35:58.:36:01.

Party have made reshuffles. That is what they do. They try to manage

:36:02.:36:07.

their shadow cabinet. In 2001 Tony Blair effectively demoted Robin Cook

:36:08.:36:10.

because of these stones the pro-European position. That was not

:36:11.:36:15.

seen as revenge. It is about managing how your shadow cabinet

:36:16.:36:19.

works. That is what Jeremy Corbyn has every right to do. We are like a

:36:20.:36:25.

family and labour. We may have slightly different views but by and

:36:26.:36:28.

large are values and principles hold us together. Sometimes you get

:36:29.:36:32.

differences of opinion, like you do at Christmas, in families. You will

:36:33.:36:36.

have arguments. The mechanism we use to sort that out is called

:36:37.:36:42.

democracy. We had a democratic election. Jeremy Corbyn won that

:36:43.:36:50.

election. It is his prerogative as leader not to sure revenge but to

:36:51.:36:51.

manage and shape the shadow cabinet. It is one of the benefits of being a

:36:52.:36:56.

leader. I think he is entitled to do that without it being referred to as

:36:57.:36:58.

revenge. Carole Walker is in Westminster.

:36:59.:37:04.

What is the latest on what is going on at Westminster? I think Jeremy

:37:05.:37:09.

Corbyn is weighing up this incredibly difficult prospect.

:37:10.:37:12.

Reshuffles are notoriously difficult, divisive. People get

:37:13.:37:19.

resentful had been moved. It is hard to see how he is going to get this

:37:20.:37:21.

resentful had been moved. It is hard right without upsetting quite a few

:37:22.:37:25.

people. Some of his closest allies say it is quite right for Jeremy

:37:26.:37:29.

Corbyn to want in his shadow cabinet people who are closest to his

:37:30.:37:35.

personal view. At the moment he has got quite a few with different views

:37:36.:37:39.

on a number of key issues. Others say he has talked about being

:37:40.:37:41.

inclusive and bringing the party together. And that it would create

:37:42.:37:48.

more division in the party if he cleared out those who had

:37:49.:37:53.

more division in the party if he with him public click. -- publicly.

:37:54.:37:56.

more division in the party if he The key to this is

:37:57.:38:01.

more division in the party if he speech in favour of air strikes in

:38:02.:38:04.

more division in the party if he was opposed to them. If he were to

:38:05.:38:11.

be moved now I think people would see that is a provocative move,

:38:12.:38:13.

particularly if he were to promote someone very close to his own view,

:38:14.:38:20.

like Diane Abbott. She dismissed as poppycock and people this morning

:38:21.:38:23.

the suggestion she had been offered the job. We heard Clive Lewis,

:38:24.:38:28.

touted for the job of shadow defence secretary, he was saying he had not

:38:29.:38:34.

been approached. He would probably say no. At the moment we are in a

:38:35.:38:38.

continual year of reshuffle speculation. That is very difficult

:38:39.:38:47.

for the party. While that continues, it becomes almost impossible for a

:38:48.:38:48.

Labour to put his messages across on other issues. A lot of Labour MPs

:38:49.:38:53.

are frustrated about that. We just wanted to show you these

:38:54.:38:57.

dramatic pictures taken near Bristol this morning. They show a village

:38:58.:39:02.

cash machine after it was blown up in Long Ashton. The front of a post

:39:03.:39:07.

office was completely destroyed following the blast in the early

:39:08.:39:10.

hours of this morning. Police say some cash was stolen and people have

:39:11.:39:16.

been arrested on suspicion of causing an explosion with intent to

:39:17.:39:17.

endanger life. In her latest video diary Victoria

:39:18.:39:19.

has revealed she's started losing her hair as a side-effect

:39:20.:39:23.

of chemotherapy treatment for breast I'm in a hotel room,

:39:24.:39:24.

and getting ready to go It's two and a half weeks

:39:25.:39:29.

since the first chemo and it's four This is the first bit of hair

:39:30.:39:33.

of mine that has fallen out. Obviously it is a side

:39:34.:39:44.

effect of chemotherapy. Hello, it's Wednesday 25th

:39:45.:39:49.

of November and I have just finished my second

:39:50.:39:56.

chemotherapy session. I'm wearing a different hat,

:39:57.:40:00.

apparently it's a new generation I have just finished chemo,

:40:01.:40:10.

finished wearing the cold cap, And hopefully I'm going to show

:40:11.:40:13.

you some ice in the cold cap. And if I just do on the top

:40:14.:40:23.

of my head, there are So that is just proof of how cold

:40:24.:40:40.

it gets in a coldcap. Quick update, couple of days

:40:41.:40:49.

after the second chemo, I've had lots of sleep,

:40:50.:40:51.

I know exactly what to do this time, I've just washed my hair

:40:52.:40:54.

and want to show you this, Which is to be expected

:40:55.:41:00.

but it is quite a lot. It is now six days since the second

:41:01.:41:15.

chemotherapy session and like the first one I am

:41:16.:41:18.

at the stage where I am feeling One of the things that I'm finding

:41:19.:41:24.

difficult to come toterms I would say I have lost about 30

:41:25.:41:36.

to 50% of my hair. It's Christmas eve and it has taken

:41:37.:41:56.

eight days to bounce back from the last session

:41:57.:42:09.

of chemotherapy. So I spent the week doing a lot

:42:10.:42:13.

of sleeping and feeling a bit dizzy. Disgusting cardboard

:42:14.:42:19.

taste in my mouth. One ulcer in my mouth,

:42:20.:42:25.

but only one so it's not the end So I have got used to wearing a wig

:42:26.:42:28.

which is something I never thought You can watch and share all of the
