:00:00. > :00:17.Hello, it's Wednesday, it's 9.15, I'm Joanna Gosling in for Victoria.

:00:18. > :00:21.Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn completes the first reshuffle

:00:22. > :00:23.of his shadow cabinet, sacking his Europe spokesmen

:00:24. > :00:25.for disloyalty but keeping the Shadow Foreign Secretary,

:00:26. > :00:34.there has been a lot of hype over this over the last few weeks. It was

:00:35. > :00:41.never going to be blocked on the carpet, it was going to be a proper

:00:42. > :00:43.discussion. It was about building a new team and moving forward.

:00:44. > :00:46.North Korea says it has successfully tested a hydrogen bomb to protect

:00:47. > :00:49.against what it calls the "hostile policies" of the United States.

:00:50. > :00:51.But some doubts are starting to emerge about the country's claim.

:00:52. > :00:54.It's the biggest ever Lotto draw tonight, with a jackpot of ?50

:00:55. > :00:58.We meet the couple who thought they'd won a ?35 million prize only

:00:59. > :01:14.to discover their online lottery purchase hadn't gone through.

:01:15. > :01:21.We're on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel until 11 this morning.

:01:22. > :01:25.We'll keep you across the latest breaking and developing stories

:01:26. > :01:27.including news from North Korea, where the secretive country claims

:01:28. > :01:30.it's successfully carried out its first test of a hydrogen

:01:31. > :01:32.bomb - which is more powerful than a basic atomic bomb.

:01:33. > :01:42.Also, we want to hear from you if you've struggled

:01:43. > :01:46.to register with a doctor because your local surgery is full.

:01:47. > :01:49.A BBC investigation has revealed that at least 100 GP practices

:01:50. > :01:51.in England have stopped taking on new patients.

:01:52. > :01:55.Texts will be charged at the standard network rate.

:01:56. > :01:57.And of course you can watch the programme online wherever

:01:58. > :02:00.you are - via the BBC News app or our website -

:02:01. > :02:03.and you can also subscribe to all our features on the news app,

:02:04. > :02:11.by going to add topics and searching 'Victoria Derbyshire'.

:02:12. > :02:13.The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has completed the first reshuffle

:02:14. > :02:16.of his front bench team by sacking his Europe spokesman -

:02:17. > :02:18.apparently for disloyalty - but keeping his shadow

:02:19. > :02:22.Foreign Secretary, Hilary Benn, in post.

:02:23. > :02:24.After more than 30 hours of deliberations, it was announced

:02:25. > :02:27.late last night that Pat McFadden would lose the Europe brief,

:02:28. > :02:34.She was previously a Junior Shadow Education Minister.

:02:35. > :02:36.Mr Corbyn has replaced his Shadow Defence Secretary,

:02:37. > :02:38.Maria Eagle, a prominent supporter of Trident,

:02:39. > :02:40.with Emily Thornberry, who, like the Labour leader,

:02:41. > :02:47.Ms Eagle will move to Culture, to replace Michael Dugher,

:02:48. > :02:56.Our political guru has been monitoring developments.

:02:57. > :03:05.It is all complete now. Thanks so much. It has been the

:03:06. > :03:14.longest running reshuffle I can remember. It makes War And Peace

:03:15. > :03:19.look like a short novella. We got a result late last night. It looks

:03:20. > :03:22.like the grand old Duke of York reshuffle. Jeremy Corbyn has marched

:03:23. > :03:26.his party out of the top of the hill, down again, and they have

:03:27. > :03:32.ended sort of halfway up, neither art nor down. We started off here

:03:33. > :03:35.with Jeremy Corbyn as the grand old Duke, leading his party to the top

:03:36. > :03:41.of the hill with suggestions that this would be a sweeping reshuffle.

:03:42. > :03:47.-- up nor down. That key figures like Maria Eagle, Hilary Benn, they

:03:48. > :03:52.were all going to be booted out for defying Jeremy Corbyn. Then they

:03:53. > :03:57.were going to get rid of Michael Dugher, who had warned about how the

:03:58. > :04:03.party was being turned into a religious cult and a Jeremy Corbyn.

:04:04. > :04:08.Well, time passed and past and past. And then, Jeremy Corbyn marched his

:04:09. > :04:13.party down to the bottom of the hill. We discovered that Hilary Benn

:04:14. > :04:18.was going to stay in the Shadow Cabinet. Maria Eagle, she was moved

:04:19. > :04:23.from her post as Shadow Defence Secretary, but she remained in the

:04:24. > :04:27.Shadow Cabinet. Only Michael Dugher was booted out of the Shadow

:04:28. > :04:32.Cabinet. That prompted a huge reaction from some Labour ministers

:04:33. > :04:37.who said, why had he been picked on? He was a good politician which

:04:38. > :04:40.helped Labour to reach out to northern and working-class voters.

:04:41. > :04:47.That seemed to incense Jeremy Corbyn. Then late last night, Jeremy

:04:48. > :04:52.Corbyn marched his party halfway up the hill and decided to just show

:04:53. > :04:58.who was boss by picking on somebody else, by taking out Pat McFadden,

:04:59. > :05:03.the shadow Europe minister who was sacked just after 11pm last night.

:05:04. > :05:07.And then in a further move, they decided to promote Emily Thornberry

:05:08. > :05:13.to the job of Shadow Defence Secretary. She shares Jeremy

:05:14. > :05:17.Corbyn's views on not renewing Trident. That may be a very

:05:18. > :05:24.significant move in deed. It could suggest Labour is poised to become

:05:25. > :05:30.an anti-Trident party. -- indeed. As for the sacking of Pat McFadden.

:05:31. > :05:33.This morning he was incensed. He said, what ever happened to Jeremy

:05:34. > :05:38.Corbyn's promise of a new sort of politics?

:05:39. > :05:41.He clearly feels that me saying terrorists are responsible

:05:42. > :05:46.for their actions and that nobody forces anybody to kill innocent

:05:47. > :05:50.people in Paris, to blow up the London Underground,

:05:51. > :05:53.to behead innocent aid workers in Syria, that when I say

:05:54. > :05:55.they are entirely responsible, he clearly interpreted that

:05:56. > :06:11.What have we learned from this long running reshuffle? Two things, I

:06:12. > :06:16.think. One, just how far Jeremy Corbyn is still struggling to get a

:06:17. > :06:21.grip of his Shadow Cabinet. Hence the up, down, halfway up. He could

:06:22. > :06:26.not get rid of Hilary Benn. If you try the would face a Shadow Cabinet

:06:27. > :06:30.revolt. Others would have resigned. The second thing, which is really

:06:31. > :06:38.interesting, is Jeremy Corbyn has demanded that Hilary Benn toes the

:06:39. > :06:41.line in future. He does not publicly criticise Jeremy Corbyn over foreign

:06:42. > :06:48.policy. That matters because when we get to a vote on Trident, does that

:06:49. > :06:54.mean that senior Labour figures like Hilary Benn will not be able to

:06:55. > :06:57.speak out in support of Trident? And does Labour seem to be on the cusp

:06:58. > :07:05.of moving to a position, where for the first time ever, it rejects the

:07:06. > :07:08.proposal of renewing. Thanks through much. We will hear

:07:09. > :07:13.from John McDonnell made in the programme. -- later in the

:07:14. > :07:15.programme. North Korea claims it has

:07:16. > :07:17."successfully" tested a hydrogen It has been described as a miniature

:07:18. > :07:23.device. That was the announcement

:07:24. > :07:35.on North Korean state TV. TRANSLATION: The first test was

:07:36. > :07:45.conducted successfully on the 6th of January 20 16. -- 2016. We will not

:07:46. > :07:56.give up a nuclear programme as long as the US maintains its stance of

:07:57. > :07:59.aggression. The international community has been quick to condemn

:08:00. > :08:01.the actions of North Korea. Philip Hammond, in Beijing at the moment,

:08:02. > :08:09.gave this response to the news. Obviously very disturbed by the

:08:10. > :08:12.claims made by North Korea and the reports that appear to corroborate

:08:13. > :08:20.that they have exploded some kind of nuclear device test. This is clearly

:08:21. > :08:28.illegal. It contravenes North Korea's international obligations.

:08:29. > :08:31.It will be condemned roundly by all countries in the international

:08:32. > :08:33.community. And I expect there will be a UN security council meeting

:08:34. > :08:36.later today to formalise a condemnation.

:08:37. > :08:39.With me now is John Everard a former diplomat who was British Ambassador

:08:40. > :08:44.to North Korea from 2006 until 2008.

:08:45. > :08:50.If this is confirmed, and there is some doubt at the moment, but if it

:08:51. > :08:55.were how significant a step is this? It is bad. It doesn't actually

:08:56. > :09:01.matter that much if it was a hydrogen bomb, or a more traditional

:09:02. > :09:05.one. Anything that produces a seismic wave of 5.1 is able to wipe

:09:06. > :09:11.out a city. The fact they've gone ahead and on this is deeply to

:09:12. > :09:17.stabilising. What does it say about how far the programme has

:09:18. > :09:22.progressed, because it has taken people by surprise. --

:09:23. > :09:26.destabilising. It has progressed. They said last month they had

:09:27. > :09:29.developed a hydrogen bomb. How far it has advanced, we will know in a

:09:30. > :09:34.few months' time when experts have had a look at the gas emissions.

:09:35. > :09:36.Then they will know if they have developed a hydrogen bomb, or

:09:37. > :09:43.whether this was a more conventional weapon. Is the threat of a

:09:44. > :09:48.counterstrike enough to deter North Korea? It is dangerous to assume it

:09:49. > :09:54.would be. The North Koreans would like to think to not dare use a

:09:55. > :09:58.nuclear weapons because they might feel that might be the end of North

:09:59. > :10:01.Korea, but we cannot be sure that is what they think. They might believe

:10:02. > :10:06.that the world simply would not dare to use a nuclear device for fear

:10:07. > :10:13.North Korea might send another nuclear bomb somewhere. Also, North

:10:14. > :10:21.Korea has very extensive, hard tunnel defences. If the leadership

:10:22. > :10:26.believed they could survive a counterstrike by hiding in those

:10:27. > :10:30.tunnels then that changes things. What is the best way for the world

:10:31. > :10:35.to react to this? There has been criticism, but does it have any

:10:36. > :10:38.impact? Almost none. The North Koreans appear to revel in being

:10:39. > :10:44.international victims, as they see it. What is the best response? A lot

:10:45. > :10:47.of clever people will be asking themselves just that question,

:10:48. > :10:49.particularly in the lead up to the Security Council meeting this

:10:50. > :10:52.afternoon. The international community is starting to run out of

:10:53. > :10:57.options. The discussions going forward will really be quite

:10:58. > :11:03.difficult. Sanctions are already in place. What are they and what impact

:11:04. > :11:05.do they have? The United Nations sanctions are principally concerned

:11:06. > :11:10.with preventing North Koreans getting their hands on the

:11:11. > :11:16.machinery, the metals, and the other devices that they need to move their

:11:17. > :11:19.nuclear programmes forward. They have been moderately successful in

:11:20. > :11:24.slowing the programme. But it hasn't been stopped. So there are obvious

:11:25. > :11:28.ways of tightening up sanctions? Yes, you can do that all you like,

:11:29. > :11:33.but the problem throughout has been implementation. If the member states

:11:34. > :11:38.are not willing to carry out the sanctions, then the whole thing just

:11:39. > :11:43.will not work. What would you be advocating if you were a part of the

:11:44. > :11:47.discussions today? I think the key will be China. The Chinese have been

:11:48. > :11:51.caught on the back foot by this explosion. They have said openly

:11:52. > :11:55.that they were not told in advance by the North Koreans that they were

:11:56. > :12:00.going ahead with the test. The North Korean 's in the past have told

:12:01. > :12:04.them, but not on this occasion. They expressed deep unhappiness with the

:12:05. > :12:07.explosion, and crucially they have said they want to work with the

:12:08. > :12:13.international community in denuclearise in the peninsula. If

:12:14. > :12:18.China decides that would tighten the screws of North Korea, China could

:12:19. > :12:22.bring North Korea to a halt very quickly. If they could do that would

:12:23. > :12:34.change. Let's see what happens this afternoon. Thank you. Let's go back

:12:35. > :12:39.to the Labour reshuffle. This is a reshuffle which, from my

:12:40. > :12:45.view, centres on two key issues. Loyalty and nuclear weapons. That

:12:46. > :12:48.seems to be what is driving this reshuffle with Jeremy Corbyn trying

:12:49. > :12:54.to assert his authority, kicking out people regarded as disloyal, and

:12:55. > :12:57.putting in the key position somebody who backs him in the proposal of

:12:58. > :13:03.rejecting the renewal of Trident. who backs him in the proposal of

:13:04. > :13:08.no thanks. But we have someone almost as good, John McDonnell.

:13:09. > :13:11.Let's just start on loyalty. What ever happened to his promise of new

:13:12. > :13:17.politics and allowing people to have different opinions? People can have

:13:18. > :13:21.different opinions and they can express them. But when you are in

:13:22. > :13:26.the Shadow Cabinet, or in a senior ministerial position,

:13:27. > :13:30.responsibilities still apply. People have different opinions. They can go

:13:31. > :13:35.to the backbenches. Just as Jeremy and I work backbenches. We have

:13:36. > :13:41.different views and we express them honestly from the backbenches. Pat

:13:42. > :13:47.McFadden appeared to be disagreeing with Jeremy Corbyn on an issue of

:13:48. > :13:51.some principle for him. The issue of terrorism. Hilary Benn has been told

:13:52. > :14:00.he cannot disagree in the future. People not allowed to disagree over

:14:01. > :14:06.of principle? Are people. We argued on a bombing campaign. It should be

:14:07. > :14:15.a free vote. We have been arguing that for the last 20 years. This

:14:16. > :14:19.free vote thing is catching on, David Cameron has done the same

:14:20. > :14:22.thing with his Cabinet over EU membership. It will be discussed

:14:23. > :14:27.openly and democratically in that way. What did Hilary Benn expressed

:14:28. > :14:33.that was wrong? Nothing. All of this talk about Tony Benn's son being

:14:34. > :14:39.moved... All of this hype was newspaper gossip. With regards to

:14:40. > :14:43.Hilary Bennett was to make sure that in his team he has people with whom

:14:44. > :14:49.he had great confidence in. There was a series of times when I think

:14:50. > :14:53.the news were undermining, or challenging Jeremy Corbyn's mandate,

:14:54. > :14:57.the mandate he has from the Labour Party members. Jeremy put a

:14:58. > :15:01.condition to Hilary Benn that Pat McFadden had to go. He will make a

:15:02. > :15:09.major contribution from the backbenches. Trident... How far is

:15:10. > :15:15.Labour now on the cusp of them becoming an anti-Trident party? You

:15:16. > :15:22.have Ken Livingstone opposed, and now Emily Thornberry the new Shadow

:15:23. > :15:26.Defence Secretary opposed to it. It will remain the same as before. The

:15:27. > :15:30.National executed committee, working with our front bench, will undertake

:15:31. > :15:34.a review. That'll go to the party of members and they will have a say on

:15:35. > :15:38.that. We are a Democratic party and that is what happens. The process is

:15:39. > :15:43.the same. The direction of travel appears to be different. The

:15:44. > :15:48.direction of travel from Jeremy Corbyn's mandate was expressed

:15:49. > :15:52.before. Whether the whole party adopts the view we will have to see

:15:53. > :15:56.as a result of our consultation. On balance, do you think it's more

:15:57. > :16:00.likely now that Labour is on course of becoming an anti-Trident party? I

:16:01. > :16:04.cannot tell because it is up to our members. We will have the review can

:16:05. > :16:18.have the consultation and it will be out our to decide. -- up to our

:16:19. > :16:21.members to decide. Does this mean that Hilary Benn will not be able to

:16:22. > :16:28.speak out in support of something like Trident?

:16:29. > :16:35.When there is a free vote everybody can express their views. The leader

:16:36. > :16:40.of the party speaks from the front bench. Others will have to go to the

:16:41. > :16:44.backbenches. They will retain their positions but they will speak from

:16:45. > :16:48.the backbenches on that particular issue. With regard to tried and we

:16:49. > :16:55.have not decided yet the final process. It is an important issue,

:16:56. > :16:59.isn't it? If you are saying to your shadow cabinet members, on key

:17:00. > :17:04.foreign policy issues you must follow our lead, and if you want to

:17:05. > :17:07.disagree you have to disagree from the backbenches, that in effect gags

:17:08. > :17:13.them from speaking out from the front bench on Trident and issues

:17:14. > :17:18.like that? We are talking about when there is a free vote. When there is

:17:19. > :17:22.a free vote members of the Cabinet will be able to express their views

:17:23. > :17:24.openly but they would do that from the backbenches. Only the leader

:17:25. > :17:30.will speak on official party policy from the front bench. On others --

:17:31. > :17:34.on other matters we agree that collective responsibility will be

:17:35. > :17:39.the rule of the day. We will speak with one voice. This was a

:17:40. > :17:44.protracted reshuffle. Doesn't this tell us a story that Mr Corbyn found

:17:45. > :17:50.it extraordinarily difficult to make the sort of changes he wanted? No.

:17:51. > :17:54.It tells you something about the new politics and Jeremy's nature. He is

:17:55. > :17:59.one of the most considerate people I have ever met. He wanted to listen

:18:00. > :18:03.to people's views. He was inclusive. When he had further question he

:18:04. > :18:10.would bring them back and ask other questions of them. I know it did not

:18:11. > :18:16.help your media schedules, but it is the best thing to do. Inclusive,

:18:17. > :18:21.open discussion is the style of the new politics. Is it correct that

:18:22. > :18:25.nobody on Mr Corbyn's team wanted to get rid of Hilary Benn? It is up to

:18:26. > :18:29.the leader to decide who should go. None of us were arguing publicly or

:18:30. > :18:35.privately that Hilary Benn should go. We wanted to make sure we had a

:18:36. > :18:43.court hearing representation of the party's policies. That is what we

:18:44. > :18:48.are achieving. -- Thank you very much. It has been an extraordinarily

:18:49. > :18:53.late night after a number of very long days. We did eventually get to

:18:54. > :18:56.that reshuffle shortly before midnight. You might see a few people

:18:57. > :19:02.wandering around looking a little bit wary.

:19:03. > :19:10.-- weary. You are a trooper. Still to come were some of those flooded

:19:11. > :19:14.over Christmas let down by the organisation is meant to help them?

:19:15. > :19:19.We will speak to some of those dealing with the aftermath. And a

:19:20. > :19:22.gun shop owner in America tells us why President Obama's plans to

:19:23. > :19:24.restrict the sale of firearms will never work.

:19:25. > :19:25.First, it's the main news this morning.

:19:26. > :19:28.North Korea says it has successfully tested a hydrogen bomb

:19:29. > :19:34.Earlier a tremor with a magnitude of 5.1 was detected by the US

:19:35. > :19:38.The UN Security Council is expected to meet in emergency

:19:39. > :19:43.The Foreign Secretary, Philip Hammond who's in Beijing

:19:44. > :19:46.at the moment, gave this response to the news.

:19:47. > :19:53.It contravenes North Korea's International obligations.

:19:54. > :19:58.It will be condemned roundly by all countries

:19:59. > :20:01.in the international community and I expect there will be a UN

:20:02. > :20:06.Security Council meeting later today to formalise that condemnation.

:20:07. > :20:08.The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has completed his first

:20:09. > :20:14.Europe spokesman Pat McFadden was sacked, apparently

:20:15. > :20:16.for disloyalty, but despite speculation, Hilary Benn

:20:17. > :20:21.keeps his job as Shadow Foreign Secretary.

:20:22. > :20:25.Scotland Yard has refused to comment on reports that the boyfriend

:20:26. > :20:27.of an EastEnders actress who disappeared last month,

:20:28. > :20:32.Officers searching for Sian Blake and her two young sons found three

:20:33. > :20:37.bodies in the garden of her home in Kent yesterday.

:20:38. > :20:40.They want to speak to Arthur Simpson-Kent as a matter of urgency.

:20:41. > :20:42.Hundreds of people have protested in the German city of Cologne over

:20:43. > :20:45.dozens of sexual assaults and thefts carried out by gangs of men

:20:46. > :20:51.Some demonstrators held up signs demanding action from Angela Merkel.

:20:52. > :20:55.The German Chancellor has expressed outrage over what she called

:20:56. > :20:57."disgusting attacks", and said everything must be done

:20:58. > :21:03.A BBC investigation suggests that at least 100 GP practices in England

:21:04. > :21:08.have stopped taking on new patients, or have applied to do so.

:21:09. > :21:11.Many surgeries are struggling to fill vacancies because of

:21:12. > :21:28.Now the sport from Hugh. Good morning. Lots to talk about

:21:29. > :21:33.today. The football Association chairman Greg Dyke has got himself

:21:34. > :21:35.into a spot of bother once more. He said we would all shoot ourselves if

:21:36. > :21:40.England failed to make the knockout stages of the European championship

:22:34. > :22:39.Some figures to bring you about the number of asylum seekers registered

:22:40. > :22:43.in Germany last year. Official figures have revealed that 1.1

:22:44. > :22:49.million asylum seekers were registered in Germany last year.

:22:50. > :22:56.Syrians made up almost 40% of that number. The number of Syrians

:22:57. > :23:01.seeking refuge in Germany hit 428,004 that the 68. The

:23:02. > :23:10.second-biggest group were Afghans with 150 4046. A record number of

:23:11. > :23:15.annual arrivals in Germany and five times more than 2014. It followed on

:23:27. > :23:28.the BBC his failure to pass effective gun laws

:23:29. > :23:30.is his biggest regret. Latest figures show that in 2015

:23:31. > :23:34.in the US there were 353 mass shootings - that's where four

:23:35. > :23:36.or more people were killed or injured in one single incident,

:23:37. > :23:40.including the assailant. 475 people were killed

:23:41. > :23:43.in those mass shootings, and just under 2,000

:23:44. > :23:47.people were injured. And there were 62

:23:48. > :23:49.shootings at schools. We're in the second week of 2016

:23:50. > :23:54.and 157 people have already been killed through gun violence

:23:55. > :23:59.in the United States. Yesterday, President Obama gave

:24:00. > :24:01.an emotional speech about his latest attempt to tighten gun

:24:02. > :24:06.controls in the US. He said he was having to use

:24:07. > :24:08.executive powers to bypass Congress, because politicians

:24:09. > :24:10.are failing to act. Anybody in the business of selling

:24:11. > :24:16.firearms must get a license and conduct background

:24:17. > :24:19.checks or be subject It doesn't matter whether you are

:24:20. > :24:37.doing it over the internet It is not where you do

:24:38. > :24:43.it but what you do. We are also expanding background

:24:44. > :24:47.checks to cover violent criminals who try to buy some of the most

:24:48. > :24:50.dangerous firearms by hiding behind trusts and corporations

:24:51. > :24:57.and various cutouts. We are also taking steps to make

:24:58. > :24:59.the background check Under the guidance the FBI

:25:00. > :25:12.and our deputy director at ADF we are going to hire more folks

:25:13. > :25:15.to process applications faster and we are going to bring

:25:16. > :25:18.an outdated background systems check These steps will actually lead

:25:19. > :25:32.to a smoother process for law-abiding owners,

:25:33. > :25:35.a smoother process for responsible gun dealers, a stronger process

:25:36. > :25:41.for protecting people, It's not the first time

:25:42. > :25:47.President Obama has had to give an emotional speech

:25:48. > :25:51.following a mass shooting. Let's take a look at some

:25:52. > :26:05.of his other heartfelt responses. I have had to make statements like

:26:06. > :26:09.this too many times. Communities like this have had to endure

:26:10. > :26:15.tragedies like this too many times. There is no greater honour but also

:26:16. > :26:21.no greater responsibility for me than to make sure that the

:26:22. > :26:28.extraordinary men and women in uniform are properly cared for, so

:26:29. > :26:33.we are going to stay on this. We cannot and will not be passive in

:26:34. > :26:40.the face of such violence. We should be willing to challenge old

:26:41. > :26:47.assumptions in order to lessen the prospects of such violence in the

:26:48. > :26:55.future. What if my daughter had been in the theatre? As so many of our

:26:56. > :27:03.kids do every day. These kinds of terrible tragic events are happening

:27:04. > :27:09.with too much regularity. We have to do some soul searching and examine

:27:10. > :27:15.how we can reduce violence. The majority of those who died today

:27:16. > :27:20.were children. Beautiful little kids between the ages of five and ten

:27:21. > :27:24.years old. We are going to have to come together and take meaningful

:27:25. > :27:25.action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the

:27:26. > :27:33.politics. There ought to be -- it ought to be

:27:34. > :27:42.a shock to all of us as a nation and as people. It ought to lead to some

:27:43. > :27:47.sort of transformation. We don't have all the facts but we

:27:48. > :27:53.do know that once again innocent people were killed in part because

:27:54. > :27:54.someone wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting their hands on a

:27:55. > :27:55.gun. Earlier I spoke to Benjamin Brown -

:27:56. > :27:58.he's the owner of Landmark Firearms, a gun shop in Chambersburg,

:27:59. > :28:00.Pennsylvania. He told me every time

:28:01. > :28:13.President Obama talks about gun The difference to me, because I'm a

:28:14. > :28:20.law-abiding citizen follows all the rules and regulations, the only

:28:21. > :28:26.thing I can nap -- see happen is an uptake in sales and transfers. If

:28:27. > :28:31.somebody sold a farm to someone else in the past, they might do a

:28:32. > :28:34.face-to-face transaction. If it all changes that every single firearms

:28:35. > :28:38.sale has to be through a licensed dealer, my sales will pick up a

:28:39. > :28:45.little bit. That is what I foresee happening. Explain what you mean by

:28:46. > :28:50.that? In the state of Pennsylvania if two residents of the state wants

:28:51. > :28:57.to buy a shot gun, so if my neighbour wanted to sell his shotgun

:28:58. > :29:03.to his neighbour, in Pennsylvania that is 100% legal. They do not need

:29:04. > :29:07.a transfer. If they had a handgun they would have to go through a

:29:08. > :29:13.federal licensed dealer like myself. Whenever President Obama talks about

:29:14. > :29:20.toughening up gun legislation, sales go up, don't they? Have you

:29:21. > :29:24.experienced that? Every day. Every time he gets on television you see

:29:25. > :29:28.mile sales numbers increase and sales numbers all over the United

:29:29. > :29:31.States increase. It is one of those things were the Government might

:29:32. > :29:35.tell me one day I'm not allowed to have it, so I will have it now. The

:29:36. > :29:44.same thing after Sandy Hook when he threatened an assault rifle ban.

:29:45. > :29:47.There was probably a six-month waiting period for any Connor

:29:48. > :29:51.Farrell arm in my store and others just because the Government say I

:29:52. > :29:56.might not be able to have it, so I wanted before that. How safe are the

:29:57. > :30:02.background checks? I have never had any issues with it. If you look at

:30:03. > :30:06.most of the mass casualty incidents that happened, those people obtained

:30:07. > :30:11.those firearms illegally. In San Bernardino, the gentleman who shot

:30:12. > :30:15.up that adult daycare centre, obtained his firearm legally. His

:30:16. > :30:21.neighbour bought it and sold it to him illegally. The background checks

:30:22. > :30:28.system worked. The person who had that farm was legally allowed to own

:30:29. > :30:30.that firearm and he circumvented the law and give it to somebody who was

:30:31. > :30:33.not allowed to have it. California has some of the strictest gun laws

:30:34. > :30:37.in the United States. The system works, it is just after that system

:30:38. > :30:43.where it fell through. That is where the mental health comes into play.

:30:44. > :30:56.You think better checks would make a difference? Asthma do you think. I

:30:57. > :31:01.was a security forces member. It is about levels of deterrence. If it

:31:02. > :31:05.stops one person causing damage to anybody it is worth it in the end.

:31:06. > :31:10.The NRA does not like that opinion, but if it stops one thing from

:31:11. > :31:16.happening it. It. Bad people will do bad things, bad people will get

:31:17. > :31:26.firearms the matter what. -- from happening it is worth it. Bad people

:31:27. > :31:32.will do bad things can regardless of any background checks. What is your

:31:33. > :31:39.perspective as a gunshot on the comedy you back the right of people

:31:40. > :31:47.to have weapons as long as they go straight back -- three background

:31:48. > :32:08.check -- what is your perspective as a gun shop owner. Tighter laws, I

:32:09. > :32:11.don't think it'll do anything. If we refine the laws and make them

:32:12. > :32:19.nationally I think that would benefit the states.

:32:20. > :32:27.In Arizona you can buy anything you want from a private seller. In

:32:28. > :32:34.California that is not -- in Pennsylvania that is not the case.

:32:35. > :32:37.These Sandy Hook primary school massacre clearly has particularly

:32:38. > :32:41.moved the president, along with all of the other massacres. That is the

:32:42. > :32:47.one he cites as having been a time for change from his perspective on

:32:48. > :32:54.the issue. Do you share that view and what do you think? -- what do

:32:55. > :32:59.you think could be done to prevent that sort of thing happening again?

:33:00. > :33:03.It is so hard. We have a lot of gun laws already. The system work. His

:33:04. > :33:08.mother bought those firearms legally. They were for her. He

:33:09. > :33:14.killed her to get those firearms. To prevent something like that is --

:33:15. > :33:19.like that is very hard. You can put guards in schools, teach teachers

:33:20. > :33:25.how to use firearms, to stop something like that 100% is almost

:33:26. > :33:28.impossible. Bad people will do bad things no matter what. If a

:33:29. > :33:33.background check could stop everything it would stop everything.

:33:34. > :33:37.There are some money firearms coming over the border right now and going

:33:38. > :33:42.back over the border, it is hard to stop something like that 100%. What

:33:43. > :33:47.about just completely cutting down on the right of people to have

:33:48. > :33:56.weapons to In what aspects? on the right of people to have

:33:57. > :34:02.firearms are in general? Both of those measures. One of the issues

:34:03. > :34:04.that President Obama wanted to implement was to banned automatic

:34:05. > :34:09.weapons. He did not get that through. What about that and what

:34:10. > :34:14.about restricting numbers? It was not so much about banning automatic

:34:15. > :34:20.weapons as it was about the changing how people obtained them. There are

:34:21. > :34:29.certain ways you can obtain certain weapons. There have only been two

:34:30. > :34:35.crimes committed with NFA firearms weapons. There have only been two

:34:36. > :34:38.violent crimes committed in the past 15 years. They were illegally

:34:39. > :34:48.obtained. The system works in that aspect. But in the UK and

:34:49. > :34:52.Australia... People banned the Confederate flag and there was

:34:53. > :34:53.almost a civil uprising. I could not imagine if people tried to ban

:34:54. > :35:04.firearms what would actually happen. Still to come: We will be talking to

:35:05. > :35:07.the couple who missed out on a ?35 million lottery win because they

:35:08. > :35:10.failed to top up their online account. With some of those flooded

:35:11. > :35:14.over Christmas, let down by the account. With some of those flooded

:35:15. > :35:16.organisations meant to account. With some of those flooded

:35:17. > :35:18.MPs will question account. With some of those flooded

:35:19. > :35:28.from the Environment Agency over the handling of the crisis.

:35:29. > :35:31.from the Environment Agency over the family. Other executives also

:35:32. > :35:38.from the Environment Agency over the committee this afternoon. Helen has

:35:39. > :35:42.been keeping a video diary for us after her town was flooded early in

:35:43. > :35:44.December. She told us she is frustrated dealing with the

:35:45. > :35:52.mountains of paperwork following the flooding. That was the tick on the

:35:53. > :35:55.mountains of paperwork following the door so we know that it has been

:35:56. > :36:09.deemed safe from the electrical company. Obviously no carpet. This

:36:10. > :36:16.is our ground floor. As you can see things are still in that should have

:36:17. > :36:19.gone. It has not been the easiest thing, trying to deal

:36:20. > :36:24.gone. It has not been the easiest adjusters and insurance agents and

:36:25. > :36:29.stripping out companies and drying companies over Christmas and New

:36:30. > :36:33.Year. These people have families, these people want to enjoy their

:36:34. > :36:35.Christmas festivities as much as everybody else

:36:36. > :36:39.Christmas festivities as much as should have been something else done

:36:40. > :36:41.provisionally. I don't know what. All of the cupboards are opened

:36:42. > :36:44.provisionally. I don't know what. get as much dry as possible, but

:36:45. > :36:49.these are all due to come out, but obviously nobody has

:36:50. > :36:51.these are all due to come out, but them out. The Christmas lights being

:36:52. > :36:53.brought down. Not that anyone has felt thrown much

:36:54. > :36:57.brought down. Not that anyone has all this year. There

:36:58. > :37:02.brought down. Not that anyone has going off. It has been going

:37:03. > :37:04.brought down. Not that anyone has pretty much constantly. The chains

:37:05. > :37:09.are OK, they have managed to get open. I'm not quite sure how they

:37:10. > :37:12.have managed when everybody else is struggling to get into their

:37:13. > :37:22.insurance agencies. Loss adjusters don't come, they don't return your

:37:23. > :37:29.calls. It is an absolute nightmare. Here we are in Fiona's toy shop

:37:30. > :37:33.again. How are we getting on? A lot of form filling, phone calling, it

:37:34. > :37:37.has been a fun time trying to get hold of contractors over the

:37:38. > :37:43.Christmas period. Now that all of the festivities are over we are

:37:44. > :37:46.moving ahead quite quickly now. This is the pet food shop with its

:37:47. > :37:54.gorgeous window display, including sandbags. A lovely local shop open

:37:55. > :38:03.for business. Well done. This is inside our library. Another feature

:38:04. > :38:11.of Cockermouth, a dehumidifier. Many businesses in Cockermouth are still

:38:12. > :38:13.open for business. It has suffered losses, but, at least it is open.

:38:14. > :38:19.Another lovely kiddies area. Up and losses, but, at least it is open.

:38:20. > :38:26.running. Obviously that is quite important, babies and books, and

:38:27. > :38:29.all. Here is our lovely little town. Still as lovely as ever. It is open

:38:30. > :38:38.for business. Please come, please don't forget about us. Maybe it will

:38:39. > :38:45.be busy with fighting insurance companies who haven't exactly been

:38:46. > :38:51.in our experience brilliant. But what a lovely little place to come

:38:52. > :38:54.and visit. Helen made that report for us, showing some of the

:38:55. > :39:02.frustrations people affected by the flooding -- of people. We can speak

:39:03. > :39:08.to a business owner in York. The insurance premium for her business

:39:09. > :39:16.has gone up by thousands of pounds. Thank you both for joining us. Tell

:39:17. > :39:21.us what the impact has been for you. It is just recently that your

:39:22. > :39:27.husband took over this business. That's right. It is myself and my

:39:28. > :39:30.husband and the chef who was part of the original business. It has only

:39:31. > :39:37.been three and a half months that we have been trading. It is quite sad

:39:38. > :39:41.to find that we got flooded very soon, just very shortly after

:39:42. > :39:46.opening our business. Have you been able to open up again? Not yet,

:39:47. > :39:53.because the flood was very bad at my restaurant. It is very near to the

:39:54. > :39:58.River Ouse. We never expected a flood that bad, but it got flooded

:39:59. > :40:01.very badly. There was around five feet of water in the restaurant.

:40:02. > :40:06.According to the contract we have hired it will take at least five to

:40:07. > :40:10.six weeks until we get this restaurant up and running again.

:40:11. > :40:16.Financially how difficult is it for you? It is very difficult. We just

:40:17. > :40:23.opened a three and a half months back as I mentioned. To rent this

:40:24. > :40:27.property it was quite big to begin with. Something like this, that

:40:28. > :40:33.happens to us very shortly, it breaks us apart as a team. We have

:40:34. > :40:37.been investing a lot of money. We obviously just started trading. We

:40:38. > :40:41.are quite new in the market and we need financial support right now to

:40:42. > :40:47.bring this business up. Does the insurance help you out much on that

:40:48. > :40:57.front? That is quite funny. As I was talking to one of your colleagues

:40:58. > :41:01.yesterday, the insurance company does not... It is quite funny to

:41:02. > :41:07.understand this, anybody who is more prone to flood, they will be the one

:41:08. > :41:12.approaching and getting the flood insurance. I don't know about other

:41:13. > :41:16.cities, but getting flood insurance in York it is costing me about

:41:17. > :41:25.?8,500 per year. It is ripping us off. I was thinking that in an

:41:26. > :41:30.emergency time, in this disastrous time, insurance company would help

:41:31. > :41:35.us in some way by ensuring that we get claim on at least our business.

:41:36. > :41:40.The insurance company has not honoured that. None of my contents

:41:41. > :41:44.or my losses will be covered by my claim. Let's speak to somebody who

:41:45. > :41:48.might have advice. Andrew Waller owns a pub in Whitby. You were

:41:49. > :41:54.affected in 2013 but you have been spared this time around. Please talk

:41:55. > :42:01.about your experience. We had about six feet of water right through the

:42:02. > :42:09.seller. It was a tidal surge. It devastated us. -- cellar. We got a

:42:10. > :42:13.grant from the government. We have flood defences in the pub. That is

:42:14. > :42:19.what saved us. It would have been just as bad. Tell us about the grant

:42:20. > :42:25.and the flood defences. Was that grant specifically to spend on new

:42:26. > :42:30.putting in flood defences? Yes. The local authority came around and told

:42:31. > :42:35.us what would benefit us. If we put any flood defences in. They gave us

:42:36. > :42:41.a ?6,000 grant. We went away and spent that and they inspected it. It

:42:42. > :42:45.worked yesterday and the day before. What have the measures been that

:42:46. > :42:50.have proved so effective? They put a flood barrier in the back, to put

:42:51. > :42:57.over the back door, to stop the water going into the cellar. It did

:42:58. > :43:00.not actually come into the park, but all of our equipment was affected

:43:01. > :43:04.and we lost all of our stock and we could not get insurance. It has

:43:05. > :43:15.helped you this time, but from last time you can sympathise with anybody

:43:16. > :43:20.affected. What would you say about your experiences, and possibly any

:43:21. > :43:24.help you might be able to suggest? Get in contact with the local

:43:25. > :43:28.authorities. See what help they can offer. Flood schemes are still

:43:29. > :43:31.going, I think. That is what I did. It is up to everybody to apply for

:43:32. > :43:38.it themselves. You don't get it automatically. That is the only sort

:43:39. > :43:44.of suggestion I can make, really. Is that something that sounds like it

:43:45. > :43:48.could be helpful? Yes, I think the advice would help me really. Since

:43:49. > :43:53.the flood has happened I am always keeping my eyes open. My friends and

:43:54. > :43:58.family always pass me a link if there is any help I could get. I

:43:59. > :44:01.just want to stress on this part that I am very happy with the

:44:02. > :44:11.council, the way they have started helping us. I have got in touch with

:44:12. > :44:15.the business people. They have given me a rebate for one month, which is

:44:16. > :44:20.good to start with. I have applied for that grant, as well. I

:44:21. > :44:25.understand the disaster this flood has caused. Most of the businesses

:44:26. > :44:31.and houses are affected. The amount is not a massive amount. But I'm

:44:32. > :44:35.sure anything that the council can help with would be most appreciated.

:44:36. > :44:42.I think the gentleman for his advice. Thank you both. Coming up on

:44:43. > :44:46.and we want to hear from you if you have struggled to register with a

:44:47. > :44:50.doctor because your local surgery is full. Apparently around 100

:44:51. > :44:57.surgeries are not taking on new patients, or have applied to not

:44:58. > :45:01.take any more because they are struggling to take on the demand.

:45:22. > :45:31.of the British Isles, isn't it? At the moment we have a lot of rainfall

:45:32. > :45:42.in Aboyne. It is the second wettest January in Aboyne on record. The

:45:43. > :45:46.last time was in 2014. Already in Aboyne we have had 135 and his. Do

:45:47. > :45:50.member on Monday we were talking about the position of the jet

:45:51. > :45:53.stream, the tropical air, and the fact optical air holds more

:45:54. > :46:09.moisture. There are other ways of enhancing rainfall. The other is

:46:10. > :46:13.aurographic aspects. The winds are coming off the North Sea. That acts

:46:14. > :46:19.as a Hoover, scooping up the moisture from the North Sea. As it

:46:20. > :46:24.does, and it is into the mountains, it has to go up the mountains, so

:46:25. > :46:28.the air rises and condenses, and then it bursts its clouds, if you

:46:29. > :46:32.like, over the mountains, enhancing rainfall. Add onto that the fact we

:46:33. > :46:35.have a weather front in the Eastern that is giving us a lot of rain at

:46:36. > :46:43.the moment. How long will this go on for? -- in

:46:44. > :46:47.the east that is. We have more rain today. Then a bit

:46:48. > :46:51.of a gap. Then more is piling in tomorrow with some snow. But I am

:46:52. > :46:51.going to question you on all of this.

:46:52. > :46:58.CHUCKLES imagine if people tried to ban

:48:35. > :48:40.through the rest of the afternoon and evening, rain with gusty winds.

:48:41. > :48:46.It will be heavy and prolonged across Northern Ireland. There is

:55:12. > :55:17.destined for a draw, it has been a wobbly morning for England's

:55:18. > :55:25.batsman. Captain Alastair Cook has underperformed with the bat. He was

:55:26. > :55:30.out for eight. Alex Hales has impressed on the tour but this great

:55:31. > :55:35.catch from Chris Morris meant he was gone for five. It was a good morning

:57:37. > :57:39.North Korea says it's successfully carried out its first test

:57:40. > :57:52.It is a more powerful weapon than an atomic bomb. If true, it would be

:57:53. > :57:54.its fourth test since 2006. This is how the announcement

:59:12. > :00:20.It is easy to lampoon than the atomic bomb?

:00:21. > :00:29.Korean regime. I'm sure people have seen films like The Interview, Team

:00:30. > :00:32.America, but they are not just focused on developing better

:00:33. > :00:35.warheads, they are trying to develop longer range missiles. Last year

:00:36. > :00:41.there were a number of tests, submarine launched missiles, so more

:00:42. > :00:45.and more people believe that the nuclear programme of North Korea is

:00:46. > :00:48.not just a way of waving a big flag and drawing attention to themselves,

:00:49. > :00:52.or consolidating the power of the regime at home, but they seem intent

:00:53. > :00:59.on developing a highly capable nuclear systems. Still a long way to

:01:00. > :01:03.go in many areas. There are lots of technical problems, hurdles to be

:01:04. > :01:07.overcome, but these are very serious people. The direction in which they

:01:08. > :01:11.are heading is clear. If they have done it they have done it against a

:01:12. > :01:17.backdrop was sanctions specifically designed to stop this happening,

:01:18. > :01:21.against the sanctions... They have, sanctions will not stop them if this

:01:22. > :01:24.is what they want to do. This is probably one of the most isolated

:01:25. > :01:29.countries in the world. Political pressure won't do much good. Only

:01:30. > :01:33.one country has reasonably close ties with them, and that's China.

:01:34. > :01:37.China won't be happy about this test. But it is clear the North

:01:38. > :01:42.Koreans will do what they are going to do. Sanctions clearly haven't

:01:43. > :01:46.worked. There will be a UN Security Council later today. There are ways

:01:47. > :01:50.in which sanctions could be stepped up and targeted in more precise

:01:51. > :01:59.ways. Particularly at the supply chains. Some things abroad have been

:02:00. > :02:02.identified as being useful to the programme. If sanctions don't work

:02:03. > :02:08.there is no chance of military action and it looks increasingly as

:02:09. > :02:14.if the world will have to live with their nuclear programme, the

:02:15. > :02:19.regional powers, particularly South Korea, are very concerned. North

:02:20. > :02:23.Korea has a sizeable nuclear programme which could strike targets

:02:24. > :02:26.in those areas. In America the great fear is that in the long-term North

:02:27. > :02:32.Korea will be able to develop very long range missiles. They will be

:02:33. > :02:35.able to put their missiles onto submarines which would enable them

:02:36. > :02:48.to come much closer to the US and fire. Let's bring in Robert Kelly,

:02:49. > :03:06.associate professor of International relations at the Pusan National

:03:07. > :03:09.University. What should they do? Well, the Russians and Chinese

:03:10. > :03:18.always feel that North Korea is a useful poke in the idea of the

:03:19. > :03:24.Americans. This is a useful way of doing this because this will be a

:03:25. > :03:28.global response. You're not going to do a lot of good without Chinese

:03:29. > :03:33.compliance and that has not been forthcoming. China was not informed

:03:34. > :03:40.prior to this test. Does that mean that potentially there is going to

:03:41. > :03:43.be a bit more scope for China to be in agreement with other voices of

:03:44. > :03:51.the United Nations, it might make it a bit more easy? Yes, the role has

:03:52. > :03:55.been influx recently. We're not sure what is going on. They are not

:03:56. > :04:00.getting on particularly well, it seems. The Chinese leader really

:04:01. > :04:09.dislikes North Korea, or at least the regime elite. But China still

:04:10. > :04:13.permits a lot of food, fuel, rice, things like that, and luxury goods,

:04:14. > :04:18.to come into North Korea through their border that they share.

:04:19. > :04:22.Everybody supports the sanctions. The problem is they need Chinese

:04:23. > :04:26.compliance. They need to close the door so things don't come in. This

:04:27. > :04:30.is how the regime elite gets the yachts and the HD TVs and sports

:04:31. > :04:36.cars and everything else. It is coming in through China. So we need

:04:37. > :04:39.Chinese compliance. My sense is that the Chinese feel frustrated by the

:04:40. > :04:44.North Koreans but they do not want them to implode over the border. If

:04:45. > :04:54.China does not do what the UN wants them to do, what other options are

:04:55. > :04:58.there? My sense is missile defence in that area. If diplomacy isn't

:04:59. > :05:02.working, if they insist on building nuclear weapons, no matter what we

:05:03. > :05:07.say, no matter what we offer, that seems to be the case. We have been

:05:08. > :05:11.telling the 25 years not to do tests, but they not listening. The

:05:12. > :05:16.other alternative would be use of force. That is risky. What is the

:05:17. > :05:20.other alternative? Defensive layering. That is to say, air

:05:21. > :05:24.defence. I would not see the Russians and Chinese getting on

:05:25. > :05:30.board. The US has been behind this, Japan is coming round to it. Missile

:05:31. > :05:38.defence, in short, that would be the short-term answer. Thanks very much.

:05:39. > :05:45.Jeremy Corbyn has completed the first reshuffle of his front bench

:05:46. > :05:50.team by sacking his Europe spokesman apparently for disloyalty, but he

:05:51. > :05:54.has kept his Shadow Defence Secretary, Hilary Benn, despite

:05:55. > :05:56.speculation he would go. After deliberations it was announced late

:05:57. > :06:03.last night that Pat McFadden would lose the Europe brief. It will be

:06:04. > :06:09.taken by Pat Glass. She was previously a junior minister. Maria

:06:10. > :06:20.Eagle has been replaced by Emily Thornberry. She opposes the Trident

:06:21. > :06:24.renewal. Our political Guru has been monitoring developments, getting

:06:25. > :06:29.lots of reaction, in Westminster for us. It has been a long night, hasn't

:06:30. > :06:34.it? It took some time but it is all in place now.

:06:35. > :06:42.The PM just walked past me and said is it over. The answer is no. In the

:06:43. > :06:45.last few minutes we have learned that John Reynolds, a transport

:06:46. > :06:51.minister, has resigned in protest at the shake-up and the way it has been

:06:52. > :06:57.conducted, and the accusations facing people like Pat McFadden and

:06:58. > :07:00.Michael Dugher that they have been disloyal. There have been mutterings

:07:01. > :07:04.that they could be more resignations. It is not over yet.

:07:05. > :07:08.Even though just a few minutes ago I was speaking to one of Jeremy

:07:09. > :07:12.Corbyn's people. He said there are not going to be any resignations and

:07:13. > :07:16.they are happy with the way it has gone. They are presenting this as a

:07:17. > :07:20.reshuffle. People like Hilary Benn have had to back off. They don't say

:07:21. > :07:25.they have had to walk away from erratic was shake-up because of a

:07:26. > :07:30.revolt by Shadow Cabinet ministers, they say it is because people like

:07:31. > :07:32.Hilary Benn had to back down and agree in future they would not

:07:33. > :07:37.challenge Jeremy Corbyn, they wouldn't disagree with him in

:07:38. > :07:41.public. However, leaving his house this morning Hilary Benn had a

:07:42. > :07:48.rather different take on things. I'm delighted to be continuing. We have

:07:49. > :07:51.an important year coming up. Our priority is campaigning to keep

:07:52. > :07:55.Britain in the European Union, which is so important for people's jobs,

:07:56. > :08:00.and for our security. I am looking forward to getting on with it. John

:08:01. > :08:04.McDonnell said anybody who wanted to disagree had to speak to the

:08:05. > :08:08.backbenches, does that mean you have been muzzled? I haven't, I will

:08:09. > :08:11.continue my job in the Wales doing it before. That means supporting

:08:12. > :08:14.Jeremy Corbyn and campaigning hard to get laid and elected that the

:08:15. > :08:28.next general election. Thank you very much indeed. -- hard to get

:08:29. > :08:32.Labour elected. He talked about a six-year plan, including curbing

:08:33. > :08:42.some of the advisers who have been behind the anti-Jeremy Corbyn

:08:43. > :08:47.stories. Emily Thornberry backs Jeremy Corbyn over opposing Trident.

:08:48. > :08:54.But it means the moving sideways of Maria Eagle. A lot of speculation

:08:55. > :09:00.about how unhappy she may be about that. This morning, however, she was

:09:01. > :09:03.staying tight lipped. I am looking forward to getting on with my new

:09:04. > :09:06.job. Hopefully I will talk to you again in that capacity once I have

:09:07. > :09:11.got my head around all of the issues.

:09:12. > :09:15.We thought it was all done and dusted last night. We thought we

:09:16. > :09:20.could go home and forget about it. Fraid not, hang on, more to come.

:09:21. > :09:27.One resignation this morning, who knows, we may get more.

:09:28. > :09:30.I spoke too soon. CHUCKLES

:09:31. > :09:38.What does it say about the grip Jeremy Corbyn has on the party?

:09:39. > :09:43.It says that Jeremy Corbyn is still struggling, it seems to me, to

:09:44. > :09:51.assert his authority. Not just in the Shadow Cabinet, but further down

:09:52. > :09:55.the train of command. There are many Labour figures who are under easy at

:09:56. > :10:01.the sideline, it seems, figures like Hilary Benn and Maria Eagle. -- who

:10:02. > :10:06.are uneasy. Some Labour figures have said, what is the point of serving

:10:07. > :10:09.under Jeremy Corbyn when this is not a new politics, he just wants his

:10:10. > :10:15.own views, his own sort of people in place? We will have to watch very

:10:16. > :10:20.carefully indeed in case others decide, like Jonathan Reynolds, that

:10:21. > :10:25.there is no point serving under Jeremy Corbyn, we are going to walk.

:10:26. > :10:28.There might be some way to go yet. Thank you.

:10:29. > :10:30.Now imagine you've won the Lottery - you're celebrating, phoning family,

:10:31. > :10:33.planning how to spend your millions - only to discover the numbers

:10:34. > :10:35.you thought had been entered hadn't at all.

:10:36. > :10:37.Well, that's what happened to Edwina and David Nylan -

:10:38. > :10:40.they've missed out on a ?35 million Lottery win after discovering

:10:41. > :10:47.their online purchase wasn't registered.

:10:48. > :10:49.The couple thought they would be seeing in the New Year

:10:50. > :10:51.as millionaires when they chose all six winning numbers

:10:52. > :10:55.But when they called to claim their jackpot prize,

:10:56. > :10:57.Camelot told them they had no record of the transaction.

:10:58. > :11:02.Let's talk now to Edwina and David, who join us in the studio.

:11:03. > :11:10.Thank you for coming in. It must have been devastating. It was. Were

:11:11. > :11:14.you absolutely convinced you have been devastating. It was. Were

:11:15. > :11:20.bought a ticket? Yes, we thought it had gone through. We tried three

:11:21. > :11:24.times. Did you mentally start spending the money, did you tell

:11:25. > :11:28.family and friends? Our family were with us when we found at the numbers

:11:29. > :11:32.have gone through and he told me to check the numbers. That is when I

:11:33. > :11:37.realised we had not had the e-mail from Camelot. Take us through it.

:11:38. > :11:42.You tried to buy a ticket, how did you come up with the numbers in the

:11:43. > :11:50.first place? You pick the numbers, don't you? Yeah, I normally pick the

:11:51. > :11:54.numbers by just looking at the previous numbers, weighing up the

:11:55. > :12:03.odds. Sometimes they are high, sometimes they are low. I knew that

:12:04. > :12:06.if I just picked them at random... I thought they were silly

:12:07. > :12:13.because they were quite close together. But you had the numbers.

:12:14. > :12:17.You then tried to buy a ticket. He wanted to buy one ticket. But you

:12:18. > :12:24.did not have enough money on the online account. The lottery online

:12:25. > :12:26.account, yeah. What happened? You put the ticket on, picked the

:12:27. > :12:33.numbers, put them through. Three times. But because there was not

:12:34. > :12:39.money in the account... The numbers registered, it came up with the

:12:40. > :12:46.ticket. So you did not have a confirmation it had gone through?

:12:47. > :12:53.Not then, then it said insufficient funds, so we topped up, well, we

:12:54. > :12:56.attempted. What did you try to do? We tried to put the code in. The

:12:57. > :13:21.security number on the back of it. It was attempted. Yeah, just did not

:13:22. > :13:25.go through. Yeah. Why do you think? No idea. Did you ever receive

:13:26. > :13:32.anything to say that the ticket had not gone through? No. Camelot said

:13:33. > :13:36.they could see the numbers when I spoke to them. Those that were

:13:37. > :13:43.attempted to put on. What are you going to do now? We have to act set

:13:44. > :13:50.it. We have each other. We have been married for 36 years, nothing is

:13:51. > :13:55.going to change. Yeah. Did you think Camelot might say they would pay up?

:13:56. > :14:00.I did not phone to claim, I phoned to ask what went wrong, where is my

:14:01. > :14:06.e-mail? They say that we can see you attempted, but unfortunately there

:14:07. > :14:09.was only 60p in your online lottery account, not our bank account,

:14:10. > :14:16.obviously, and it did not purchase the ticket. By that time, 7:30pm was

:14:17. > :14:21.the cut-off and it had shot down. We thought on the third attempt it had

:14:22. > :14:26.gone through. Quite quickly did you decide, OK, we have got to live with

:14:27. > :14:32.this? Yeah, Dave has carried on working. It must be so hard to go

:14:33. > :14:37.from sniffing something. It is worse than never having. It is like a

:14:38. > :14:43.dream, like it has never happened. Unbelievable. For a time you thought

:14:44. > :14:49.you were going to be ?35 million richer. No plans for spending. We

:14:50. > :14:56.have got everything we want. Did you think at the time what you might do

:14:57. > :15:00.with it? A lot to charity. Obviously help the grandchildren, we have

:15:01. > :15:06.seven, we have three sons, but we would help charity. My sister needs

:15:07. > :15:13.a motorised wheelchair. Will you keep on playing the lottery? No. We

:15:14. > :15:18.are going to let the online funds run out. We topped it with that ?20,

:15:19. > :15:23.but we will let it run out and then decide whether we will carry on. A

:15:24. > :15:28.lot of people will be watching and thinking you are level-headed about

:15:29. > :15:33.this, it must have been difficult to come to terms, but you have a strong

:15:34. > :15:39.bond. We have. We have been through so much. We have. We just have to

:15:40. > :15:44.carry on. We appreciate you coming in. Who knows about that ?20. You

:15:45. > :15:58.never know. Thank you. The struggle to get in GB -- Indy GP

:20:57. > :21:15.to die of hunger. What is the situation?

:21:16. > :21:19.Extraordinarily serious. It has been going on since July. 40,000 people

:21:20. > :21:25.live in Madaya. It has been cut off from food, electricity, basic

:21:26. > :21:28.supplies. It is understand the Government and Hezbollah have laid

:21:29. > :21:34.landmines around the town to stop people from getting out. Madaya is

:21:35. > :21:39.strategically important. It forms part of a crest of a lot of towns

:21:40. > :21:45.that were the initiators of the revolution in many ways. It is an

:21:46. > :21:51.old tactic of the Government. It has been going on since July. A lot of

:21:52. > :21:55.photographs of social -- circulated on social media which are too

:21:56. > :21:59.graphic for us to show. We heard reports yesterday that a pregnant

:22:00. > :22:08.woman had tried to make our way out, was hit by a landmine and shot at a

:22:09. > :22:12.Hezbollah checkpoint. Reports of civilians eating trash. We spoke to

:23:31. > :23:36.to be opened because we are coming into winter. Madaya is high

:23:37. > :23:42.altitude. People are starting to die not just of hunger, but they may

:23:43. > :23:44.start to die because of the difficult winter conditions. A

:23:45. > :23:51.difficult situation. We have seen this before. It is an old tactic. It

:23:52. > :23:55.happened at a Palestinian camp in Syria. It is possible it is only

:25:07. > :25:10.year and the year after and the way the wind is -- the industry is

:25:11. > :25:15.going. People are making products that will build the future. We're

:25:16. > :25:23.used to seeing all sorts of new TVs at this show. This is different.

:25:24. > :25:27.This is a rollerball flexible TV. I seem to have not broken it. This is

:27:03. > :27:03.Simpson Kent, as a matter of urgency.

:27:04. > :27:06.Doctor's surgeries in some parts of England are closing the door

:27:07. > :27:08.on new patients because they are struggling to cope

:27:09. > :27:12.A BBC investigation has found that at least 100 GP surgeries applied

:27:13. > :27:15.to NHS England to stop accepting new people, because they are full.

:27:16. > :27:18.In Clacton in Essex - it's a particular problem.

:27:19. > :27:21.Three out of four of the practices in the town centre aren't

:27:22. > :27:28.Let's talk now to Andrew Sarek, who's

:27:29. > :27:30.Business Manager at Ranworth Surgery in Clacton.

:27:31. > :27:33.His surgery has been struggling to recruit new doctors.

:27:34. > :27:36.And Kevin Sines who's a patient at Ranworth and chairman

:27:37. > :27:41.of the local Patient Participation Group.

:27:42. > :27:52.Thank you both for joining us. Andrew, tell us why you stopped

:27:53. > :27:58.taking on patients? Good morning. We took the difficult decision about

:27:59. > :28:02.six months ago. One of our other practices had to close their list.

:28:03. > :28:07.More patients were joining us. Around 120 new patients each month.

:28:08. > :28:11.We spent so much time on the administration that we found we were

:28:12. > :28:16.not able to adequately deal with our current patients. We talk that

:28:17. > :28:27.difficult decision not to accept any more. A domino effect, obviously.

:28:28. > :28:30.What was the initial cause? Is their difficulty recruiting has there been

:28:31. > :28:35.a sudden influx of people wanting to sign on GPs? It is a bit of both.

:28:36. > :28:40.Demand is much higher the last few years. Patients are coming in for

:28:41. > :28:45.all sorts of things. Also, a couple of doctors retired from the area and

:28:46. > :28:50.recruiting is very difficult. It is a combination of things. Where are

:28:51. > :28:55.these new patients coming from? There is a lot of building going on

:28:56. > :29:01.in Clacton. 12,000 new homes being built. They need doctors, they need

:29:02. > :29:07.all of the normal facilities any town needs. We have not got an

:29:08. > :29:12.increasing the number of doctors. Why is it so difficult to get new

:29:13. > :29:17.doctors? There is a national shortage. Fact and is a difficult

:29:18. > :29:23.area to be a doctor. It is difficult anywhere. Clacton has particular

:29:24. > :29:28.problems. High deprivation. The most deprived ward in the country is just

:29:29. > :29:37.a couple of miles away. As an example, in the centre of Clacton,

:29:38. > :29:43.life expectancy is 72 compared to 84 just ten miles away. A lot of

:29:44. > :29:48.asthmatics, diabetics, people with heart disease. It is difficult being

:29:49. > :29:59.a doctor. There are a lot of people to look after and people with

:30:00. > :30:05.complex needs. Kevin, what have your experiences being? The difficulty

:30:06. > :30:08.has been for patients to actually see...

:30:09. > :30:12.INAUDIBLE We have a problem with our line to

:30:13. > :30:17.Kevin, we will try and fix that. We will go back to Andrew. What it was

:30:18. > :30:22.about to say, I think, is how long it takes patients to see their GP.

:30:23. > :30:26.How long patients waiting when you are oversubscribed? Typically, if

:30:27. > :30:33.you want a routine appointment, two to three weeks. We recognise that

:30:34. > :30:37.isn't really acceptable. What we run now is an open surgery every day.

:30:38. > :30:41.You turn up any time between nine and 11:30am and you will be seen.

:30:42. > :30:47.Maybe not by your own doctor, but a doctor. It is going back to the old

:30:48. > :30:52.days, turning up, and people will be seen in the order they turn up. It

:30:53. > :30:59.isn't ideal. But a patient knows that they will at least be seen that

:31:00. > :31:03.day by a general practitioner. What is the answer? You need to recruit,

:31:04. > :31:08.but you are outlining before the difficulties of doing that. Things

:31:09. > :31:14.need to change. The models of general practice is not sustainable

:31:15. > :31:19.as it is. We talk with other practices about what we can do

:31:20. > :31:24.differently. The local clinical Commissioner have arranged a meeting

:31:25. > :31:31.of all 42 practices in North East Essex to discuss different ways of

:31:32. > :31:34.working. They recognise this isn't sustainable. They need to look at

:31:35. > :31:39.different ways of working sharing resources, maybe using more nurse

:31:40. > :31:48.practitioners. Having doctors in a supervising role. While the minor

:31:49. > :31:52.ailments, minor illnesses, are dealt with by nurse practitioners.

:31:53. > :31:56.Something like that. We are talking. Things need to change otherwise it

:31:57. > :32:01.will all disappear. I think we can bring Kevin back. We can see you

:32:02. > :32:09.again, Kevin. Do you have any answers as to mark the problem is we

:32:10. > :32:19.have three GPs in our practice. -- do you have any answers? The

:32:20. > :32:22.difficulty is trying to get in to see your actual doctor for a

:32:23. > :32:31.consultation. Minor ailments are dealt with as Andrew has alluded to.

:32:32. > :32:37.The problem is I want to see my own doctor now, but I won't be able to

:32:38. > :32:44.see him until the 3rd of February. I consider that to be too long. I

:32:45. > :32:49.don't see a way out of it. The only way out of it is if the local

:32:50. > :32:57.clinical commissioning group got their finger out and we had a super

:32:58. > :33:05.hub of our doctors. We could put all of our resources together. And that

:33:06. > :33:08.was alluded to in a document which was published by North East Essex

:33:09. > :33:13.clinical commissioning group at the consultation. The way forward is

:33:14. > :33:19.they've got to get bigger to be able to cope with the demands. But it is

:33:20. > :33:31.difficult, as Andrew has already alluded to, to recruit doctors. At

:33:32. > :33:40.one of the local clinics in Frinton, they never had a doctor last year.

:33:41. > :33:47.The surgery had to be taken on by a community enterprise. And it has all

:33:48. > :33:51.been taken over by special measures. Let's bring in the thoughts of some

:33:52. > :33:55.viewers. Alan says I live in North Wales, my local surgery is closing

:33:56. > :33:58.in a few months along with another surgery in the area, meaning more

:33:59. > :34:01.than 22,000 people are without access to a doctor. The health board

:34:02. > :34:06.is planning an alternative but information is limited as to what

:34:07. > :34:12.they are planning. Derek says there are plenty of doctors but just too

:34:13. > :34:15.many people. Health service, too many people, schools, too many

:34:16. > :34:21.people, housing, too many people, and it is getting worse. You said

:34:22. > :34:25.the old model, Andrew, isn't working. And you were talking about

:34:26. > :34:31.preliminary discussions in terms of how to change things. Do you think

:34:32. > :34:38.it will be a model that will just... That the model we know now will have

:34:39. > :34:42.to change in coming years? Certainly in this area things will have to

:34:43. > :34:45.change. In a lot of areas it can continue, I am sure, for a long

:34:46. > :34:46.change. In a lot of areas it can while yet. But we are under pressure

:34:47. > :34:50.now. If a while yet. But we are under pressure

:34:51. > :35:03.or retire we would be... -- if a provide the service we are providing

:35:04. > :35:06.now. Thank you both. provide the service we are providing

:35:07. > :35:14.messages. Tony says our doctors in provide the service we are providing

:35:15. > :35:17.Basingstoke have 8000 patients. One doctor has retired, two on

:35:18. > :35:19.maternity, it takes weeks to see a doctor. Lulu says I have a problem

:35:20. > :35:23.seeing my doctor, doctor. Lulu says I have a problem

:35:24. > :35:33.to wait five weeks because she only works if you hours a week. If

:35:34. > :35:49.surgeries were able to block, patients could sign up at other

:35:50. > :35:54.With some of those flooded over Christmas, let down

:35:55. > :35:58.by the organisations meant to help them,

:35:59. > :35:59.later today MPs will question senior executives

:36:00. > :36:02.from the Environment Agency over their handling of the crisis.

:36:03. > :36:04.The Agency's chairman, Sir Philip Dilley, has been strongly

:36:05. > :36:06.criticised since it emerged that he spent Christmas in Barbados

:36:07. > :36:12.Lian Williamson, from Cockermouth, has been

:36:13. > :36:17.Lian Williamson, from Cockermouth, us. -- Helen Williamson. She says

:36:18. > :36:35.she is frustrated by all of the paperwork.

:36:36. > :36:39.That is a tick on our door to let us know that Electricity North West

:36:40. > :36:48.As you can see, things are still in that should have gone.

:36:49. > :36:53.It has not been the easiest thing trying to deal with loss adjusters

:36:54. > :36:57.Obviously these people have families and want to enjoy the Christmas

:36:58. > :36:59.festivities as much as anyone else does, but maybe there

:37:00. > :37:01.should have been something else done provisionally.

:37:02. > :37:08.All of our cupboards are open to try to get as much drying

:37:09. > :37:11.as possible but these are all due to come out, but obviously no one

:37:12. > :37:21.These are the town's Christmas lights being brought down,

:37:22. > :37:23.not that anybody has felt much like Christmas at all this year.

:37:24. > :37:35.The big chains have managed to get back open.

:37:36. > :37:38.I am not quite sure how they have managed when everybody else

:37:39. > :37:40.is struggling so badly to get in touch with insurance agents.

:37:41. > :37:42.Loss adjusters do not come or return your calls.

:37:43. > :37:56.Here we are in Fiona's toy shop again.

:37:57. > :38:02.It has been a fun time trying to get hold of contractors over

:38:03. > :38:05.the Christmas period but now that all of the festivities are over

:38:06. > :38:10.This is the pet food store with its gorgeous window display,

:38:11. > :38:15.Its nice little birdhouses and things.

:38:16. > :38:16.Another lovely local shop open for business.

:38:17. > :38:26.The library is open, like many other businesses

:38:27. > :38:28.in Cockermouth, still open for business.

:38:29. > :38:42.That is up and running, so that is quite important,

:38:43. > :39:03.We may be a little bit busy with fighting with insurance

:39:04. > :39:06.companies who have not exactly been, in our experience, have not exactly

:39:07. > :39:19.been brilliant, but what a lovely little place to come and visit.

:39:20. > :39:26.I spoke to Andrew Waller earlier who works in a pub in Whitby which he

:39:27. > :39:32.has been busy rebuilding since 2014. And another business owner whose

:39:33. > :39:39.insurance has gone up by thousands of pounds. My husband and I and the

:39:40. > :39:42.chef jointly own the business. It is only three and a half months we have

:39:43. > :39:51.been trading in this restaurant. It is quite sad to find this happening

:39:52. > :39:57.just a short time after opening our business. Are you up and running

:39:58. > :40:03.again? Not yet because the flood was really bad. We are very near the

:40:04. > :40:10.river whose. We never expected it to flood that bad but it got flooded

:40:11. > :40:15.really badly. -- River Ouse. According to the contract we have

:40:16. > :40:19.hired, it will at least take about five to six weeks before we get this

:40:20. > :40:25.restaurant up and running again. Financially how difficult is it for

:40:26. > :40:32.you? It is very difficult. We just opened three and a half months back.

:40:33. > :40:36.To rent this property, it was quite big for us in the first place.

:40:37. > :40:41.Something like this which happens to us very shortly, it breaks us apart

:40:42. > :40:47.as a team. We have invested a lot of money. We just started trading. We

:40:48. > :40:51.all knew in the market. We need financial support right now to bring

:40:52. > :40:57.this business up. Does the insurance help you out much on that front?

:40:58. > :41:04.That's quite funny, as I was talking to one of your colleagues yesterday,

:41:05. > :41:09.the insurance company doesn't like the cover our contents. It is quite

:41:10. > :41:16.funny to understand that anyone who is more prone to flood, they will be

:41:17. > :41:20.the one who will be approaching and getting the flood insurance. Getting

:41:21. > :41:24.flood insurance in York, I don't know about other cities, but it is

:41:25. > :41:32.costing me about ?8,500 per year. I think it is ripping us off. I was

:41:33. > :41:39.thinking that in an emergency time in this disastrous time the

:41:40. > :41:46.insurance company would help us in some way by ensuring that we get a

:41:47. > :41:50.claim. The insurance company has not honoured that. None of my contents

:41:51. > :41:56.or my loss has been covered by my claim. Let's talk to Andrew who owns

:41:57. > :42:00.a pub in Whitby. Andrew, you were affected by flooding in 2013 but you

:42:01. > :42:07.have been spared this time around. Please talk about your experiences.

:42:08. > :42:14.We had about six feet of water right through the cellar. A tidal surge

:42:15. > :42:21.devastated us. We got a grant from the government. We have some flood

:42:22. > :42:27.defences in the pub now. That served us yesterday and the day before. It

:42:28. > :42:31.would have been just as bad. Tell us about the grant and flood defences.

:42:32. > :42:38.Was that grant to spend on new pudding in flood defences? --

:42:39. > :42:44.putting. It was, yes. The local authorities came round and told us

:42:45. > :42:47.what we would benefit from. We got a ?6,000 grant. We went away, spent

:42:48. > :42:53.that, they came around and inspected it. It worked yesterday and the day

:42:54. > :42:58.before. What have the measures being that have proved so effective? A

:42:59. > :43:01.flood barrier in the back to put over the back door to stop the water

:43:02. > :43:07.coming through the back door and into the cellar. It didn't come into

:43:08. > :43:08.the pub, but our equipment was devastated. We lost all of our

:43:09. > :43:17.stock. Lots of you getting in touch on the

:43:18. > :43:21.interviews I did earlier with Edwina and David who thought they had won

:43:22. > :43:25.?35 million but their ticket had not gone through because they did not

:43:26. > :43:30.have money in their online account to pay for the ticket. David said,

:43:31. > :43:35.they are sympathy seeking, they have an issue with the bank and not the

:43:36. > :43:43.lottery. Their fault. Barry says, sad story about the couple who lost

:43:44. > :43:44.out on the lottery win, but it shows the folly about relying on online

:43:45. > :43:48.technology. Thank you for your company today,

:43:49. > :43:50.and for all your messages, which really do help to

:43:51. > :43:53.inform our conversations. Look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
