I'm Victoria Derbyshire. Welcome to the programme.

After Sam Allardyce had to leave his job as England manager

for "inappropriate conduct" exposed by the Daily Telegraph,

today the paper reports that eight current or former played one won

It's leader's speech day at the Labour conference in Liverpool -

the day in which the party leader traditionally sets

What will his vision for a Labour government be?

And how will he reunite his divided party?

Hello and welcome to the programme. We're live until 11am.

It wasn't that long ago I was asking those of you who are England

supporters who you thought the next England manager should be.

After Sam Allardyce left Wembley hiding in the back

of a car last night, humiliated and out of the job

Who do you think the next head coach should be?

Use the hashtag Victoria live and If you text, you will be charged

Sam Allardyce says he is "deeply disappointed" to have left his role

It came after he had offered advice on how to "get around" player

transfer rules to undercover reporters from the Daily Telegraph

As the FA begins its search for a new manager, it has been hit

with fresh revelations in today's Telegraph with eight current

or former Premier League managers accused of taking cash backhanders.

There's a bit of flash photography in Andy Moore's report.

After 67 days in the job, Sam Allardyce left Wembley last

night with a 100% success rate from his one match in charge.

He admitted a serious error of judgement and the FA were happy

One of the things we have to do as a governing body is hold

Sam admitted he hadn't met those high standards.

It all began with such high hopes and high expectations.

I can't stop smiling because I've this job.

This is a job I have waited for for many years

But it was a newspaper sting that caused his downfall.

He talked about getting around strict rules on transfer deals

and tried to negotiate a ?400,000 deal on top

Today, the Telegraph accuses some Premier League managers

of doing dodgy deals, but nobody is named.

One agent said a fallen manager had had more backhanders than Wimbledon.

Two of those agents have now denied wrongdoing, saying they were telling

tall tales to impress their would-be clients.

There are now calls for the FA to mount an independent inquiry

They've been talking about Uefa and Fifa and saying they should

I think the FA need to move and deal with this in a way

The question now is whether the Telegraph investigation may

Tell us more detail about the revelations today, apparently

involving eight current or former Premier League managers? Yes, well

the FA at Wembley has to deal with these allegations here in the Daily

Telegraph, eight current or former Premier League managers. Two

Championship managers as well we're told. None of them are named in the

paper today. But the accusation is that they took so-called bungs,

that's cash or money into Swiss bank accounts to help a transfer go

through. The Telegraph will be naming, they say, later on in the

week an assistant manager, at a leading club and they say they

filmed that man accepting a ?5,000 cash payment. This is all part of a

ten month long investigation under taken by The Daily Telegraph. They

say they will give transcripts to the FA of their evidence. They say

they've also given evidence to the police so there is always the

possibility that there might be criminal investigations into bribery

and corruption. Meanwhile the FA here has appointed a

caretaker-manager, that's the under 21 boss Gareth Southgate. He will be

leading the England squad for at least four games in October and

November. The first game is just over a week away. That's against

Malta here at Wembley. And those four games October, November, after

that, there is a pause before March and the FA will have a chance to

appoint a permanent manager, names being mentioned Eddie Howe, Steve

Bruce, Alan Pardew, perhaps even Arsene Wenger if he could be prised

away from Arsenal. We can speak to former FA

Chairman David Bernstein. Hello. Hello Victoria. Do you have

any sympathy for Sam Allardyce? Very little. I think for a man of this

experience to be caught in the way he has been is naive and he has

shown great disrespect. We use this word respect in football a great

deal and he has shown very little respect to a great deal of people

including his player, the FA and Roy Hodgson, who I know very well and

the family. Why do you think he did what he did before he had taken a

training session when he was on a two year contract at ?3 million a

year? Well, you put it very well. Is it greed? Is it hubris? I don't

know, I can't believe someone can be so stupid as to jeopardise a

fantastic opportunity like this in this way. So it is beyond, you know,

it is beyond comprehension that a man in his 60s, a mature man with

lots of experience could get caught in this way. You must be really

alarmed by the claims today in The Telegraph newspaper that there are

eight former or current Premier League managers. They say, have also

taken cash back-handers in order to smooth players' transfers? Well, of

course, if it is proven and if they have got real evidence, of course,

it is incredibly serious. It is a terrible thing for the English game.

Let's see. I don't like speculating about these things until there is

some serious hard evidence. They haven't mentioned any names as yet.

So I'd rather bypass this until we know more, but potentially, it is

dreadful. Yeah. And potentially the FA really need to look at their own

structure of how they run the game, don't they? Because if it is true,

this stuff is going on on their watch? Ah, Victoria, you are now

coming to an issue that's key to me and I have been speaking to you and

many others in the media about this for the last three years. You know,

there was a Parliamentary Select Committee report on the FA which

concluded that the FA's sfruk ture on governance was not fit for

purpose. The FA has not taken on reform. It is not modern enough, but

a fish rots from the head. We need to see change and unfortunately, and

I found this and Greg Dyke found it, the FA will not change itself. It

needs outside intervention and I think that the Sam Allardyce affair

and many other things that I could spend a long while with you listing,

huge numbers of different things including the relationship between

the Premier League and the Football Association which I believe is not a

balanced and healthy one, is at the centre of many issues in English

football. Thank you very much for your time this morning. Thank you

for coming on the programme. David Bernstein who was a former FA

chairman. Joanna Gosling is in the BBC

Newsroom with a summary The veteran Israeli

politician Shimon Peres has In a career spanning

almost seven decades, he served twice as prime minister,

once as president and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994

for achieving an interim peace deal James Landale looks

back on his life. Shimon Peres was one

of the last of a generation One of those leaders who had been

there when the country Emigrating from Poland,

he became a world statesman. A Prime Minister who devoted himself

to the search for peace. There are people in Israel

and elsewhere say it's impossible to make peace

in Israel with the Jewish people. He arrived in Palestine as a boy

in the 1930s when the holy land With Israel's founding fathers,

he became the archetypal backroom fixer as the new

Israeli state took shape. He helped negotiate the arms deals

that helped secure Israel's military strength and the secret agreement

that gave it the technology As a politician, he changed his

views over time. He was a member of the government

that approved the building of Jewish settlements on occupied

Palestinian territory. But he came to see them later

as an obstacle to peace. And he will be remembered perhaps

most for his role in helping to negotiate the so-called

Oslo Accords in 1993, alongside Yasser Arafat,

Bill Clinton and Yitzahk Rabin. Israel's first peace agreement

with the Palestinians may not have lived up to its early promise but it

showed that a deal could be done. The agreement earned Shimon Peres

a Nobel Peace Prize. But this acclaim on the

international stage was never Although he served as Prime Minister

twice, he never won His pragmatism never quite winning

the trust of Israeli voters. Instead, Shimon Peres became

the grandfather of his nation, still serving as president

after his 90th birthday, still arguing peace could come

only if Israel remained strong. The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn,

addresses the party's annual conference in Liverpool today

in a keenly awaited speech. He'll address the issue

of immigration and is expected to say a Labour government

would reinstate a fund to soften However, Mr Corbyn risks upsetting

some delegates by not promising He'll also call for an end

to Labour's "trench warfare", and urge the party to

prepare itself for power. Two of the biggest gaming sites

in the world say they are battling to stamp out sexist and misogynistic

comments and behaviour Female gamers have told BBC Radio 1

Newsbeat they are regularly abused Twitch says improvements

are "happening as fast as we can" and YouTube says "harassment has no

place on the platform and we have Syrian government forces,

backed by Russian airstrikes, say they've seized a rebel-held

bombardment since the collapse Civilian volunteers say there have

to restrict the use of bail for criminal suspects in England

to their London house. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

in the Okanagan region where they've been sampling local

Canadian delicacies. That's a summary of

the latest BBC News. In a moment we will be

talking to women gamers about the vicious abuse

that they've received whilst And of course we want

to hear from you if you've Do get in touch with us

throughout the morning - use the hashtag Victoria live

and If you text, you will be charged Let's get some sport now

with Hugh Woozencroft. Who is going to take over from Sam

Allardyce? Well, if you're going to the bookmakers today you will see

the name of Gareth Southgate as the current favourite. He is the under

21 boss. He has been installed in the interim and he will be installed

for four games. He is going to have to impress. He

has limited experience in club management. He spent three years in

charge of Middlesbrough, but that ended in 2009. Given England's World

Cup qualifying group, he is seen as easy and he will have to win the

games and have to win them well to be handed the job on a permanent

basis. Other names, Steve Bruce, the former Hull City and Sunderland

manager is very much in the Sam Allardyce mould. He is seen as

having done very well over the years with so-called smaller teams. He is

vastly experienced and former Manchester United captain. There is

Eddie Howe. He is just 38 years old, but he built himself a strong

reputation over the last five years. He is currently the Bournemouth

manager. They reached the Premier League, of course, they ensured

survival last season and they did it in style as well, many seeing it as

too soon for him to take on a role as big as the England manager's.

There is Arsene Wenger. Well, he is in the last year of his contract

with the club. He is an option too. He turned down the opportunity in

the summer. He told the media that it wasn't a job he wanted to do. He

wanted to honour his contract with Arsenal. There is another foreign

option, Jurgen Klinsmann, the German. He is with the United

States. He was mooted when Sam Allardyce got the job too. And there

are more names involved. For the second time in awe months, the hunt

is on for the new boss of England, who it will be remains to be seen.

On the pitch last night, some really good results for teams in the

English Champions League. Two positive results. Leicester were

hosting their first match in the competition, and then new striker

Islam Slimani continued what is a prolific record of scoring against

the Portuguese giants Porto. He has faced them many times when he was

with Sporting Lisbon. He headed in the only goal of the game from a

Riyad Mahrez cross. That came much to the delight of their fans, as you

can see. They are now top of group G, so a great start for Claudio

Ranieri's side in the competition. Spurs responded to their defeat in

game one with a 1-0 win over CSKA Moscow, Son Heung-min scoring. They

now sit second in group E. So we will be back later, talking more

about the sport, but we are hoping to hear from Sam Allardyce as well.

We will see what he has got to say shortly. Yes, we are told he may say

something about 9.30. We will bring that to you live.

There are around 20 million of us in the UK that play

For many, sharing footage of ourselves as we play and watch

others game online is also part of the fun.

But some women who get involved say they receive terrible abuse

while gaming online simply because they are women.

Now, two of the biggest websites in the world that host gaming

content like this have told BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat they're doing

all they can to get rid of misogynistic abuse

Let's talk to Newsbeat's gaming reporter Steffan Powell -

Some of the gamers you have spoken to have thousands of viewers at any

one time, a massive audience for some pretty violent, sexist abuse,

isn't it? They are very popular sites these days, because this has

become a part of the gaming community. Gaming has moved on loads

from the days when people used to play in their bedrooms on their own.

It is all about community and sharing experiences with each other.

Like you say, some have thousands of followers and others just have a few

thousand. But it doesn't matter how many people follow these sites and

share the content, it is still there to be seen. Sites like Twitter and

YouTube give you a chance to have your own online TV station in your

bedroom, and you can share that experience with anybody in the

world. The majority of it is positive interaction. People can

comment and say they like what you are doing. But some of it has turned

nasty. We can hear now from a girl who tells about her experiences in

the past. When I used to do Call

of Duty commentaries when I first started YouTube,

people would comment on my videos and they would be like,

"You're only getting views because you're a girl -

if you were a boy, And they would leave

nasty comments as well, and it seems to always be

about appearance - So it would be guys commenting,

like, "Oh, you look horrible." But then I moved away from that

content and started doing Minecraft, and now I have a child

audience and nobody comments So you don't make as many videos

with first person shooter games as you used to,

you've changed the games you play? I feel like the games I played

definitely influenced the sort of reaction I got,

but I guess it is down You would get messages and comments

on your videos. I had a guy that was obsessed

with me for a very long time, and he was obsessed with the idea

of me being a female and gaming, so he would comment

on my videos every day, and he would tweet me every day

and I would ban his accounts, and he would still make

more, and more and more, and he would harass all my friends

as well, and it started to get out of control,

and that went on for four years. Was it quite personal

stuff then, I guess? Yeah, he would even

mention my family members - he even mentioned my friends' family

members to them. He didn't threaten you or anything

like that? Yeah, he was like, "I'm

going to find out where you live, Yeah, he said horrible things

like that all the time. I first of all told my mum,

and she was like, "I don't know if anyone will do anything about it,

with it being online." He could live in a different

country, and then that's even more difficult to stop people,

so I felt very lost. It was definitely worth carrying

on because I have a loyal and loving fan base that just keeps growing,

so those nice comments that people leave just totally outweigh

the horrible ones. It's really annoying

that it is still an issue, I'm not personally being affected

by it, but it really makes me angry It is sort of par for the course if

you are online, but you have taken these findings to YouTube and Twitch

as well as the gaming industry. What do they say? Yeah, this is not new

for people when it comes to online interaction. But we have spoken to

Twitch and YouTube, and they are acknowledging that this is a

problem. But they say they are doing the best they can. Twitch say they

are working on new technology which will allow moderators to block users

more effectively than at the moment. YouTube said there is no place for

this on their site and there are clear guidelines to try and stop it

from happening. The industry itself has moved on a lot when it comes to

relations with women in the last few years. The trade body for gaming in

the UK is saying to us, this is a society problem and there is a

shared responsibility to tackle this through education and technology. It

is not just something in gaming, it is a big issue elsewhere. Every

other week, there are some issue about sexism in all sorts of

professions. It is happening in film and music and sport. With gaming,

they feel that they get it more because it is in that transition

phase between being something that was more of a niche activity to

something everybody does. Let's talk to Bex Bennett, a gamer who live

streams herself playing on first person shooter games. We were also

spoke to an Tony fox, a gamer who has written a dissertation on

misogyny in gaming -- Antonia fox. Bex Bennett, tell us about the stuff

you get when you are gaming. Oh, gosh. I have started getting

desensitised to some of the abuse I get, especially on first person

shooter games. They expect you to be a guy. If you are beating them and

you are on the opposite team, you get so much horrible comments,

threatening you, telling you that you are hacking, derogatory names.

It is shocking, but like I say, I have now become desensitised to it.

It is more shocking to me when I get a nice comment now. You don't expect

it. As soon as I get a message ping up, I am thinking, what are they

going to say now? But if it is something nice, I don't know what to

say. Do you think the right tools are there to help you deal with that

when it happens? One of the platforms I also use is Instagram,

and on the comment section now, there is an option to block certain

words, which will block out the whole comment. That stops people

getting in contact with you that way, which I think is great. I think

other platforms like Twitter and YouTube should follow in their

footsteps. Do you think there is specifically something about gaming?

We have seen this issue in other fields, but is there something about

gaming that seems to draw out this sort of behaviour? Yes, I do. Like

you say, it is in all industries. But with gaming, it is such a male

dominated world, especially with first person shooters. I think they

are not expecting a girl to be good at the game. Lets bring in Antonia.

Tell us about your own experiences, bearing in mind that we are on

morning television, so that restrict the language you can use. But give

us an idea of what you have to put up with. A lot of streamers have to

not only deal with it, but they expect that sort of behaviour.

Harassment, often gendered slurs, and often comments about their

appearance as well. One of my participants in my research has said

it is like prepping for battle, because they are having to face

these comments whilst they are streaming. Before they start

streaming, they often apply make-up and start to get ready for the

people in comments to start attacking their appearance. Wow, so

they are battle ready. And not only getting ready to play their game.

That in itself is a battle, but it is a battle against the audience as

well. What do you think you can -- can be done? What can be done to

stop it happening in the future? People who love gaming are almost

fed up of having this conversation. Definitely, the route with

moderators is important. A lot of streamers in my study said they

heavily rely on moderators to have a safe and respectful chat. That

should definitely be pursued. But I urge gamers and people that watch

Twitch to really think about what they are commenting. Do you have any

idea how old the people are who are sending you these horrible comments?

It can range from anything from 12 years old to about 40. It is such a

wide spectrum of age. That is depressing. Have you ever pretended

to be a blow to see if there is any difference in reaction to you? I

haven't pretended to be a bloke, per se, but I have had a gamer tag that

is not gender specific. And obviously, I didn't get any hate

comments at all. It is worth mentioning that this is not specific

to a particular title or particular console or a way of gaming, this is

an issue that seems to come up across the spectrum. So it needs

that community approach to tackling it. And it is an issue that the

websites are aware of and they are trying to do something about it.

They acknowledge that the pace of change is frustrating even for them.

We spoke to a spokesperson for Twitch, a former host of the sports

competition, and she has had experience of this herself. She was

telling Newsbeat that the pace of change is slow, but it is moving as

quickly as possible. Bex, thanks for coming on. Antonia, thank you very

much. Your experiences are welcome as well. Send me an e-mail.

Still to come: Jeremy Corbyn stands up in front of Labour delegates

It'll focus on two things - immigration

We're going live to our correspondent shortly.

Hurrah for our Olympic heroes - there'll be parades in Leeds

Here's Joanna in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news.

Sam Allardyce says he is 'deeply disappointed' to be leaving his role

as England manager after just one game in charge.

He stood down as a result of an undercover investigation

carried out by reporters at the Daily Telegraph.

They recorded Allardyce giving advice on how to avoid rules

on player transfers and negotiating a deal to represent a Far East firm.

In a statement, Mr Allardyce said he'd offered "a sincere

and wholehearted apology" to the Football Association.

And what does his vision of Labour's future look like?

Norman will be watching closely and leaders' speeches at party

Vic, hi, today it is the big one. It is Jeremy Corbyn's chance to sort of

punch threw and grab the electorate's attention to, set out

what it is he wants to achieve, to define himself. Let's be honest,

most people probably don't pay that much attention to Labour

Conferences, it is like an annoying buzz in their ear! Today is

different, leader's day is a moment when people do perhaps listen and

see who it is wants to be their next Prime Minister and if you doubt

that, have a look at this film I put together of recent leaders' speeches

and the sort of key defining moments and how important they can be.

Implausible promises don't win victories.

I'll tell you what happens with impossible promises - you start

They're then pickled into a rigid dogma code,

and you go through the years sticking to that -

outdated, misplaced, irrelevant to the real needs -

and you end in the grotesque chaos of a Labour council,

a Labour council, hiring taxies, to scuttle round a city,

handing out redundancy notices to its own workers.

And to the Prime Minister, I say this.

The quiet man is here to stay and he is turning up the volume.

It has always been absurd that the debate about crime in this

country has some talking of its causes and others of the need

Sweep away the dogma - tough on crime, tough

Real change is about changing our culture and identity

It is not some slick rebranding exercise

or marketing exercise in spin - it's about making sure that

at the next election - when all of you, when I,

and when everyone in this room goes out and fight the greatest

battle of our lives - street by street, house by house,

flat by flat, that we have a message that is relevant to people today,

that shows we of this modern country as it is and shows

that we think our best days lie ahead as a country.

So, I guess there will be a bit of anticipation, won't there, Norman

ahead of the speech today from Mr Corbyn. What do party members want

him to say? Well, that is the key question because I guess it all

hinges on who Mr Corbyn sees as his audience today, is it the party

faithful in the hall? Is it Labour supporters out in the country? Is it

people who have never voted? Has he got to reach out to people who

simply are not his people? To get a sense of what ordinary party members

want him to do, I had a chat with some of them yesterday and here is

what they told me. I want him to be unifying and to be positive about

some of the people that may have left. As a Labour member, as a

Labour activist, I need to be reassured that Jeremy is in it to

win it. He should continue saying what he has been saying all along.

He has been saying some really good things. Our problem is that the

media twists and distorts and reports those things in a way that

isn't positive REPORTER: Do you think he can reach

out to people who don't think like him? Who maybe hostile to him? I

mean I hope he can reach out to them and that's the whole, that's what we

have to do. That's the goal of winning a general election and

getting the majority. I don't know if he can. As selfish as it might

sound, he needs to talk to us and he needs to unite us before we're able

to reach out beyond this bubble and until we do that, people like my

parents who have been Labour voters are never going to listen. It has

been a divided summer aflt pretty poor summer for Labour let's be

honest. Now we can turn around and if he can capture and make people

believe in his vision of the economy, we're going to win that

next election. And we're going to take that vision out for him. Yeah,

we'll be there. We need to show we are a party in waiting. We are the

better alternative. We can be in Government.

I'm joined biowent Jones. A man who is well plugged into Team Corbyn

thinking. Give us your sense of what Jeremy Corbyn has got to do today? I

think firstly, he has to show actually the Labour Party is far

more united than people give it credit for. It is not like the 1980s

where there is big ideological confrontations going on on

investment and the economy, and secondary mod rns and on a publicly

funded properly resourced National Health Service. There is a large

degree of consensus. He needs to make that clear without, because all

we have had over the past three months is Labour Party naval gazing.

So he has to show he can reach beyond the people who turn up to

rallies, the people who have joined the Labour Party, the middle income

voter, who works in an office, in Nuneaton for example to pick a place

from thin air and that's talking about things like home ownership as

well as building council housing and talking about older voters who

Labour have haemorrhaged support since 1997 as well as a younger

generation that fears they will be worse off than their parents. We

have seen this row over immigration and his suggestion that you don't

need to tackle numbers and that fuels a sense that Mr Corbyn is good

at speaking to his own people. He is good at speaking to a metropolitan

audience, but can he communicate beyond that? Immigration is an

example of a division going throughout the natural Labour

coalition. If you take big cities, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool

and so on, people are more well-disposed towards immigration

particularly younger voters, it is places like Stockport and smaller

towns where there is a lot of resentment about immigration. He has

to say, "Look, we had a referendum which is more about immigration than

anything else." He understands people's concerns. People don't mind

disagreeing if they think there is an understanding and appreciation

from where people are coming from and that's why I think making this

idea of a migrant impact fund the Tories abolished, so the places with

higher levels of immigration get extra resources to cope the with

pressure on public services, to talk for example about English language

services which are being cut because of a lack of investment in public

services. So I think make that front and central we will deal with your

concerns, we understand them. We will not set limits because the

previous Government did that and failed and undermined people's faith

in politics, but we will address the concerns and we understand. Let's

talk performance because it is a performance today. We played clips

by famous speeches by the likes of Neil kin OK, does Jeremy Corbyn have

the ability to deliver that sort of performance? Everything I have seen

of him, he doesn't really do those big moments, does he? Well, I think

he's capable of them actually. I think if you take the acceptance

speech this year compared to when he won last year, there is a marked

improvement and obviously he was someone who never expected to become

leader... Do you think we exaggerate the importance of that tour deforce

and people aren't bothered Threw suggesting the media focus too much

on style and substance? Come off it. Ron rald Regan had morning in

America. If Jeremy Corbyn does a speech which says look at the great

things this great country has achieved, the NHS, the welfare

state, over coming tyranny in World War II, moments of great courage and

determination and to draw on the great traditions that Britain is

united behind a common purpose we can build a better society and make

people feel good about themselves. Sometimes people like me on the left

come across miserable and dower, the rights and freedoms that our

ancestors fought for, let's build on that and look at the great society,

one of the richest countries on earth that provides for all. If he

makes people feel optimistic in a country which is sick of division

after an acrimonious referendum campaign, remain or leave, we want

the same things and we want to build a better society. Jeremy Corbyn

riled when he was interviewed when he was asked if there was a

comparison between him and Donald Trump? Maybe there is in the sense

that Donald Trump is a very different politician. He is not

business as usual. I wonder if he is kind of almost an anti-politics

figure and maybe that's what people like about him. That he is not the

normal politician. That's his strongest suit and maybe that's what

he ought to play up? Donald Trump calls Mexicans rapists and

criminals. There is a clear difference between the two. It is

the case that there is an anti-politics mood sweeping the

western world. You can't look at the rise of Jeremy Corbyn without

looking at what happened in the United States, Bernie Sanders and

Donald Trump and new insurgent antiestablishment parties. He is

part of the that. One of the reasons he emerged when he did because there

was a vacuum waiting to be filled. Actually I think a lot of the

perceptive and reflective elements of the old order of the Labour Party

understand that, but I think what he has to do is tap into that point

which is to say Britain is sick of an old professionalised scripted

politician and I'm not that kind of politician. You've got to turn

things which are used to attack you into your strengths and one of the

things that people are sick of in Britain is the idea of a certain

type of politician, if he can say, I'm different sort of guy and you

know in a country which people like Nigel Farage, I think that's

something which can turn a weakness, I suppose the media would say into a

strength. We know much of the speech will be about unity. He is going to

call for an end to trench warfare. Are there going to be people in the

Labour Party who will never come on board with Jeremy Corbyn because

they disagree with his politics? They're not there to become part of

Team Corbyn whatever he says? Well, you have some MPs who don't like his

politics that's obviously the case, but most MPs actually are frankly,

they don't have massive political disagreements with Jeremy Corbyn.

They have concerns, yes, about whether he can win an election. They

worry about keeping their own seats. They worry about competence and

messaging, but actually, again on those issues, there isn't much

different. I think what he needs to do is separate the irreconcileables

and love bomb the rest and that means give-and-take, whilst MPs need

to accept the democratic verdict of the members, no more talk of

mandatory reselections. A lot of the middle ground of the Parliamentary

Labour Party that would assuage their concerns and the main thing he

has to do is show he has got an election winning strategy, a clear

coherent strategy that reaches beyond the party faithful. Do you

think Jeremy Corbyn enjoys being leader now? I heard him yesterday

saying it was fun. But whenever I see him being interviewed by the

media and I expect before the speech today, you get the sense he is

really not that comfortable with it? Who would want to be Leader of the

Opposition? It is one of the most miserable jobs I can imagine! I

suppose probably if you were in his position it is great to be part of

something that feels like an exciting mass movement to see lots

of energised people, but if you're battered by people on your own side

and by the media, that's exhausting. To be honest, with Jeremy Corbyn, he

is somebody who stood out of a sense of duty. I don't think anyone could

accuse him of being a careerist. He spent years on the periphery of

politics in the Labour Party. Despite his often, things which went

wrong, not least because he didn't want to be leader, that's why things

have gone wrong, I suppose, but I think he just feels a sense of duty.

He feels it is his responsibility to fight for the causes that the people

elected him to fight for. Owen Jones, thank you very much. Vic,

surely the one thing we can say about Jeremy Corbyn this is a man

who has consistently defied expectations. No one thought he had

a snowball's chance of becoming lead are and probably nobody thought he

would still be leader. He is. He has a bigger mandate and he is still

there and today is a big day for him.

Full coverage on BBC News. Sam Allardyce has been speaking

about the revelations that led to him losing his job as England

manager. This is what he said. "It Was an error of judgment on my

behalf and I have paid the consequences. Entrapment has won. I

think on reflection, it was a silly thing to do. Just to let everyone

know, I sort of help doubt somebody I have known for 30 years.

Unfortunately, it was an error of judgment on my behalf. I have paid

the consequences. Entrapment has won on this occasion, and I have to

accept that. The agreement was done very amicably with the FA and I

apologise to those and all concerned in the unfortunate position I have

put myself in. I am off abroad to chill out and reflect. I would like

to wish all the England lads, Gareth and all the staff the very best". I

think that on reflection, it was a silly thing to do. But just to let

everybody know, I sort of help doubt somebody I had known for 30 years.

Unfortunately, it was an error of judgment on my part and I paid the

consequences. Entrapment has won on this occasion, and I have to accept

that. The agreement was done very amicably with the FA. I apologise to

those and all concerned in this unfortunate situation I have put

myself in. I have a confidentiality agreement. I can't answer any more

questions right now. What are you going to do now? I am off abroad,

just to chill out and reflect. I would like to wish all the England

lads, Gareth and the staff the best. Was that your last job in football?

Who knows? Thanks. Sam Allardyce, looking pretty devastated, I have to

say. It wasn't quite loud enough to hear everything he has been saying.

But as I said before we heard him speak, he said "Entrapment has won

on this occasion and I have to accept that. The agreement was done

very amicably with the FA and I apologise to those and all concerned

in the unfortunate position I have put myself in". He's off to chill

out and reflect, and he said best of luck to Gareth Southgate, all the

staff and/or the England lads. Final question put to him was, last job in

football? He said, who knows? Wait and see. But he looked tired and

devastated. Some comments from you. Lawrence says a dice is a disgrace

-- Sam Allardyce is a disgrace. Somebody suggested that Glenn Hoddle

should be the next England manager. But he has been out of football for

a long time, hasn't he? Your views are welcome. You can tweet, send me

an e-mail, WhatsApp, text etc. I have got loads of comments from you

about gaming. If you are saying misogyny has to be tackled. But

quite a few are saying men get just as many horrific comments. I will

bring those to you before ten o'clock.

Parades and celebrations will be held in Leeds and Edinburgh later

to mark the success of local athletes at the 2016 Olympic Games.

So how does it feel to be celebrated, and what do our

athletes hope to inspire in their local communities?

Let's talk now to Kadeena Cox, who got three medals including

a gold in two different disciplines at the Paralympics,

And Jack Laugher, who got a silver and a gold medal for diving,

Paul Bennett, who rowed his way to gold as part of the men's eight,

and Heather Stanning, who won gold with partner

Jack, that silver and that goal that I can see around your neck, what is

it like when you put that on in the morning? A lot of jingling. They

clang together a lot. But it feels fantastic. I had such a successful

Games and I am so proud of what I have achieved. It is fantastic to

wear these around my neck. Paul, have you come down yet or not? It is

difficult to come down when you keep meeting these incredible people who

want to tell you how amazing it was and how proud they are of watching

you win. So you keep getting bored back up to the same level because

everybody is really enthusiastic. I come down and then I get pulled back

up to Rio after the final. Heather, are you looking forward to the

parade today? Really looking forward to it. It is fairly mild up here in

Edinburgh, which is good. Were you at Helen's wedding? I was. It was an

amazing weekend. I saw a few pictures in a magazine, and it

looked incredibly romantic. It was. It was amazing. They are such a

happy couple. It was so perfect for them. The weather was fantastic,

which was lucky because it was outside. It was a beautiful day for

them and for the guests. Kadeena, I hope you can hear us. Three medals

in two different disciplines, the first person to do this since 1984.

How did you do it? I just went out there with my coaches and

performed to the best of my ability. And why is the parade significant

for you to take part? It is so amazing to have a parade in my home

city and to go out and see all the people. It is going to be a great

feeling, and just to give a bit back and showcase our medals. I remember

after 2012, my own kids were really inspired to take up gymnastics and

all sorts of other things. Jack, are you aware of your responsibility in

inspiring young kids to get involved? Of course. We have had

such a surge of people participating in diving now. Our learn to dive

sessions are completely packed out across the country. That is what we

need in diving. We need people joining from an early age to

hopefully breed talent in the future. Obviously, I am now a role

model, and that is great. I hope to inspire a lot of people. Paul, do

you accept the responsibility of being a role model? Does that sit

comfortably with you? It is a bit difficult to get into. You are just

like anyone else, and then you win some medals and everyone says you

are expected to be a role model. It takes time to get into it, but it is

easy to fulfil that role when you meet young people who are keen to

hear what being an athlete is like. You find it in yourself to say

things that are inspirational and get kids to keep going. You are

tried to expose people to sports that they might be engaged by. That

is something I like to do. You learn how to do it along the way and you

meet some incredible kits. Those two things help each other along -- some

incredible kids. Before you know it, you are fulfilling the role.

Heather, that is interesting. You have to learn to take on this

responsibility. Do you agree? Absolutely. It is something I had to

learn quickly after London. Both Helen and myself were prepared to

win our rowing race. What we were not prepared for was all the bits

they came afterwards. Of course, it is amazing to be a part of it, but

it does take some getting used to. For so long, you have been focused

on yourself as an individual and you have forgotten what an impact you

have on people around you. But it is really nice to go into schools and

speak to kids. I spent yesterday morning in schools around my

parents' in Lossiemouth. It was fantastic to talk to the kids. The

kids were all so energised by watching the Olympics and

Paralympics. They all want to give something ago. And they come up with

the most interesting questions. Like? Well, I was there with both my

medals and one girl goes, I won my medals this summer for doing this

event in my summer club. I was like, that is amazing! She was so proud of

her medal. She thought mine were good, but hers were better. Kadeena,

some of our audience know that you had a stroke two years ago. You were

then diagnosed with MS. I wonder what you hope people will take away

from your performances in Rio? Yeah, I went out there with the intention

of showing that you can still push the boundaries even with setbacks.

So I was prepared to be a role model and show people that they can do

amazing things even with things like what I have got, the MS and the

strokes. I wanted to make people feel empowered. And who are the

people around you who are part of your team, whether it is

professionals or relatives? We spoke to your sister during the

Paralympics, for example. They are important to you when you are

focusing on a goal like the Paralympics. Yeah, I am from a big

family. I am one of seven children. My mum, dad, brothers and sisters

have all been amazing support. Then I have two head coaches and my

training group are around me. They have all been amazing support. Well,

I hope all of you enjoy the parade is today. Many thanks to all of you.

I have a mixture of comments on Sam Allardyce from you, and also on

gaming. An e-mail from Paul says, the uniform reaction from the rest

of the media to the Daily Telegraph's Allardyce Sting and this

-- virtually nil criticism from the usual anti-press suspects. It is a

legitimate triumph from the Telegraph and undercover journalism,

I would argue. That is in response to the fact that Sam Allardyce said

on this occasion, entrapment has won. John says, I am not shocked by

this. Corruption is rife from Fifa downwards. An e-mail from Cath -

when are we going to view these newspaper setups as unacceptable

gutter journalism? Looking at the footage, Allardyce appeared to be

being plied with alcohol to encourage him to open up and the

conversation was deliberately steered in the desired direction. I

feel sorry for Big Sam, in some ways the victim of his own actions but in

many ways the victim of an underregulated press. On gaming,

Luke says misogyny in gaming should be tackled by more than just the

content hosting websites. Sexism should be tackled early in schools.

It is hard to miss the rise in sexism in all areas of society and

it should be urgently tackled. Angela says, I challenge all bad

behaviour when I am on Xbox one. Trevor says young men abusing women

are keyboard warriors who would not dare to talk to women in real life

and are just inadequate. Thank you for those.

Coming up, we will find out how an American couple's wedding

photo-shoot in Central Park was disrupted - by Tom Hanks.

Let's get the latest weather update with Matt Taylor.

Not a bad start to the day for many. Warmest day of the week for many,

but we will follow that with windy weather tonight, particularly across

Scotland. At the moment, most are dry. In Northern Ireland, we have

seen the cloud increase. It is all linked into a weather system which

has been rushing up from the mid-Atlantic. Warm winds on the

southern flank of it, but strengthening winds around it. Those

strong winds push into night. The skies will brighten in Northern

Ireland this afternoon, but wet for a time in Scotland. Brightest,

sunniest and warmest in the south and east. We finish in the afternoon

with the wettest weather across the far north of Scotland. The rain here

will persist all day long. The wind will start to strengthen across the

Hebrides. The Alpha Scotland could brighten up from Lanarkshire towards

the borders -- the south of Scotland. It may stay grey and

drizzly through parts of north-west England and West and Wales, but

around Cheshire and the north-east of Wales, here is where the cloud

will break. Grey, misty and damp across the hills around Devon and

Cornwall. Further east, we have sunny spells for the afternoon.

Breezy through tonight and increasingly windy by the end of the

night. Severe gales in Scotland, with frequent showers. A weather

front which stars the evening in Scotland and Northern Ireland will

push south through Wales and England. To the south and east of

that, we have a warm start. To the north and west, a particularly wild

start. In Scotland, the morning rush hour could be difficult. We could

see guests of 60 mph, which could cause disruptions to ferry services

and bridges. The winds in the north will ease a bit through the day, but

they will strengthen across Northern Ireland, southern Scotland and

northern England. Tomorrow will start on the wet side, but brighten

up later. Much of England and Wales will see sunshine in the afternoon,

but it will feel fresher than today. Sunshine and showers again for

Friday. Some in the east will stay dry, but feeling cooler. And it is a

cooler trend for the weekend. Showers most frequent on Saturday.

Sunday is not looking bad. I'm Victoria Derbyshire,

Joining me now from Wembley is our correspondent, Amy Cole.

Draw together the reaction to the fact that Sam Allardyce has left and

this job that he coveted for so many years in humiliating circumstances?

Well, absolutely. I mean the reaction has been one of surprise

and also, I think, disgust really that this has happened. Two

high-profile men who were involved with the FA, they were both former

chairmen, Greg Dyke and David Bernstein have both commented and

they have been really scathing in their view of Sam Allardyce's

behaviour. Let me just read you what they have said. Greg Dyke said, "I

think the FA did exactly the right thing and they did it quickly which

always helps. You don't want this hanging around. He said of Sam

Allardyce, his judgement is clearly flawed. I mean, what was he doing?

Hawking himself around for another ?400,000 job when he has just taken

the job for over ?3 million plus bonuses on top of that? I mean he

was just being greedy, wasn't he? I think a lack of judgement is a

polite way of putting it. David Bernstein said, "The hubris of it

all is extraordinary. This is a man earning ?3 million a year, I wonder

whether there is a pay off or not. I hope not? Because I don't think 50

or 60 days work merits a pay off. There have been reports this

morning, some speculation that Sam Allardyce may well be paid ?1

million as a pay off, but certainly these two men don't believe that

that should happen. In terms of appointing a permanent

manager for England, it will take a while, I suppose? Well, yes, it is,

indeed, Victoria. England's next game here at Wembley will be against

Malta in a week's time in. Short-term the England under 21 boss

Gareth Southgate will take over as the England manager for the next

four games. They are all in October and November. However, helpfully,

for the FA, the next game after that won't be until March. So they'll

have a bit of time to think about who to replace as a permanent

manager. Now at the time that they employed Sam Allardyce, the FA was

pleased to say they found an English manager and they may well be looking

to see who else could fit the frame. Other English possible contenders,

you know, we are hearing this morning there maybe Eddie Howe of

Bournemouth, Alan Pardew at Crystal Palace and former Hull City manager,

Steve Bruce. They are among the possible candidates, but the FA may

look at a foreign manager, but they're going to face a big more

problems before that because it seems that The Daily Telegraph which

launched this sting and has been printing details of the corruption

has today said that there are about eight current and former Premier

League managers plus two Championship managers who have taken

cash incentives or so-called bungs to arrange transfers. None of those

people are named in the paper, but later this week, the paper says it

will name an assistant manager at a leading club who has been filmed

taking ?5,000 as a cash payment. That's a real headache for the FA.

The paper says it had been carrying out this undercover inquiry for the

past ten months and passed on the transcripts to the FA and to the

police. There may well be criminal investigations to come.

Thank you very much, Amy. Ralph, why was Sam Allardyce so

naive? Another viewer says, "What a greedy man, wasn't ?3 million a year

enough?" Gareth Southgate turned it down last time, why would he want it

now? Sam Allardyce won't be the last manager of England whose career

ended in humiliation. Glenn Hoddle lost his job in early

1999 after he suggested people with disabilities might be paying

for mistakes in a previous life. Hoddle apologised for his remarks,

saying he had made a serious Five months before the 2006

World Cup, Sven Goran Eriksson got into big trouble after spilling

a bit too much to the infamous "fake sheikh", a reporter

from the News of the World, who pretended to be a wealthy Arab

businessmen who might be interested During the undercover sting

operation, Eriksson offered to "tap up" David Beckham,

and also claimed Michael Owen He made various remarks about other

players, and was forced to hold a meeting to apologise

to his England squad. Just before the 2010 World Cup,

Fabio Capello was criticised after a controversial player ratings

system called the Capello Index Added to that, Capello's

relationship with the FA broke down in 2012 when he didn't agree

with their decision to strip John Terry of the England captaincy

over allegations of racial abuse. Then there was the Wally

with the Brolly. Steve McClaren, who as England

manager failed to qualify for It is a sad day today,

to be relieved of my post. Then there was Roy Hodgson,

who it was hoped would coax And yet England were beaten by one

of the world's smallest nations, One of England's most embarrassing

exit from an international COMMENTATOR: And England's

embarrassment is Iceland's ecstasy! One particularly bad game has caused

a lot of damage, to me personally, to the team, and even

to the team going forward, because now they've got

a major bridge to repair. And finally there is Sam Allardyce,

who lasted just 67 days in the job. He's a former Liverpool

and England defender who was capped three

times by England. And Ian Marshal, who played

under Sam Allardyce at Bolton Wanderers

between 2001-2002. He will be devastated. This was the

job he wanted. A real bad bit of judgment has cost him. I am bitterly

disappointed, because I thought he would do a good job and I was hoping

he would have a good go at it and bring success to the England team.

What do you think he was thinking of? The only thing I can think of is

greed. That word has been thrown around for the last few days. He is

a wealthy man, it is not a question of him needing the money. But the

green eyed monster seems to have got hold of him. John Scales, how do you

see this? Like everybody says, everyone is shocked by the greed,

the naivety, every aspect of this story. I think the FA were in a

simple position to make the decision that his position was untenable. And

we find ourselves with Gareth Southgate in charge. It is

incredibly disappointing. You talked about the previous episodes with

England managers, the scrutiny they are under and the expectations they

are under, which is right with the salaries they earn and the position

they hold. Is it endemic in football? To a degree, yes. That is

in the spotlight again, when we have just kicked off another fantastic

season of football. So many people in the country wanted to look at the

positive side of things. Alan Shearer says football in England is

a laughing stock around the world. Do you agree? I don't agree with

that. It is bad, but it was only a few years ago that the Italian

league was riddled with Mac -- match fixing and everything. It is not an

illegal thing he has done. It is not right and he had to go, but I would

not say it is a laughing stock. Worse things have gone on in

football. John scales, Sam Allardyce describes it as entrapment. He said

entrapment has won on this occasion. Do you agree? Well, that is the way

the Daily Telegraph got their story. They have set up a situation where

they put Sam Allardyce in a position where his naivety has got the better

of him and his greed got the better of him and he has been loose with

his talk. That has happened in the past and will happen again in the

future. That is Sam's responsibility to understand the privileged

position he is in comes with situations like that. It is

incredible that so short into his reign as England manager, he has

made comments that have brought the FA into disrepute and put himself in

a position where he has lost the job he's so coveted and was so pleased

to get. He was a positive force for English football, but as everybody

has said, he had to go. Ian, have you heard of managers taking cash

backhanders in order to smooth the transfer of players from one club to

another? Not personally, but I do believe it has gone on. What are you

basing that belief on if you have never heard about it? When I say

never heard about it, I have never experienced it myself. But I see

situations where things happen, and you question how it has happened. I

am asking because the Telegraph says there are eight current or former

managers... It is great to say there are eight people, but they should

name them. Then it can be out in the open. There are only 20 managers in

the Premier League, so that is nearly half of them. Well, it is

current and former Premier League managers. It is a good point about

why they haven't named them. Some have denied any wrongdoing. They are

going to name an assistant manager who took ?5,000 to smooth transfer.

That is interesting, but they have obviously got no solid proof on the

managers, or they would name them if they have a cast-iron case. I would

like them to defend themselves or to be proven guilty. John, have you

heard of managers taking bungs? I think we have all heard it. It is

based on rumour and chitter chatter, and that comes from good sources,

the football network. It is not something I have experienced

first-hand, but when you have built it up over a career, I started

football 30 years ago, you hear so much about it that you believe it

has to be true. And you know there is so much money in the game, so

many agents involved, so much ability to take part of the money

that is involved in football out of the game in a way that is not clear,

there are no checks and balances to keep the game in order, and people

manipulate the system, like they do in every walk of life. It is the

scale of the dishonesty that surprises many, but it is difficult

to prove. With the eight managers that have been mentioned, in

investigative journalism, you have to be absolutely watertight. I have

worked in television programmes where you can go so far, but the

lawyers will then step in and say you cannot name them because we

haven't got enough proof. I think it is just the nature of the game and

the stories that everyone has heard, you pretty much understand that it

goes on at every level in the game. Lord Stevens did and inquiry not

long ago, looking at corruption in the English game and issue of bungs,

and he didn't come up with much. We have had a statement from the sports

minister, Tracy Crouch. She says "The integrity of sport is

paramount. We have been clear that we expect the highest standards of

governance and transparency from sports governing bodies in the UK

and around the world. In this context, the recent allegations

regarding English football are very concerning and we will be concerning

discussing the matter with the football authorities. All the

evidence must be investigated and we stand ready to assist in any way".

As it got anything to do with the government, John? Well, the

government are in a difficult position with the way the FA have

their organisation and the government has always said it would

intervene at some stage and has never happened. Possibly, at this

point, the government will feel it has to intervene properly and get

better order into the game. There will certainly be speaking to Martin

Glenn and Greg Clark of the FA and discussing it, but that has to

involve all stakeholders, not just the FA. The FA are often so derided

and castigated for their position within the game, but they are in a

difficult position. They are the custodians of the game, but there

are so many other stakeholders, the Premier League, the PFA, kick racism

out of, the clubs, the players. Every stakeholder has to have an

interest in finding a solution. If that takes the government to step in

and do what they can, all the better. We have seen it with the IOC

and Fifa and the IAAF. So many organisations have issues of

corruption. And unfortunately, we see it across the world in every

situation, whether it is a defence contractor getting backhanders

across the world or whether it is in football or Westminster. It is sad

to see, but that is the nature of the world we live in. So the

stakeholders have to collectively make up the sport better and give

the faith back to the supporters who want to see the game played in the

best way. Thank you very much. John Scales, former England and Liverpool

defender. And Ian Marsh, who played under Sam Allardyce. Anthony says

the Coker of bungs has been with us since the year dot. When will the FA

tackle it head on instead of accepting it? Dave says Sam

Allardyce's comments were telling. He apologised for being caught

rather than for the deed itself. John says, look on the bright side.

How many ex-England managers can say they left the job with a 100%

winning record? Somehow, I don't think that will be any consolation.

Next, the investigation of the shooting down of the MH17 plane

crash in Ukraine will publish its findings today.

The father of a young man killed in the MH17 plane crash in Ukraine

says he has no faith that a criminal investigation will find

out who is responsible for his son's death.

Liam Sweeney died in July 2014, when the Malaysian Airlines flight

was shot down and all 298 passengers were killed.

Liam was heading to see his beloved Newcastle United play

Tom Burridge, the BBC's man in the Ukraine capital Kiev,

went to visit a military base to find out more about the BUK

missile system which is suspected of downing the passenger jet.

The Buk missile system is designed to shoot down planes,

missiles or drones travelling at speeds of up to 830

Using the main radar and radar on the missile launchers, the

Buk can track targets and establish their altitude and speed, and tell

But when it comes to differentiating between civilian aircraft and enemy

military planes, well, that comes down to the expertise and experience

Let's talk now to Liam's dad, Barry Sweeney, who's in Newcastle.

What answers would you like from this criminal investigation? The

main answer I want is why? Do you think the criminal investigation

will be able to give you that information? I don't think happen.

Why is that the key question for you? It is something that shouldn't

have happened, but whenever there is an accident, you usually know why it

happened, but on this occasion, nobody knows. 298 people were on

board MH17 who were either working or going to enjoy themselves, and

that should not have happened. You may never find out why. Are you

prepared for that? Very much so. To find out why would be a bonus. I

would like to think before I go to my grave, I will find out. We are

told we are expecting to find out today where this missile was fired

from. That will give you a bit more information. It will. In the report

last year in The Hague, it was revealed to be a surface to air

missile, a Buk missile. The Russians have denied that, but I think it is

probably fact. Western countries say Russian backed rebels did it. Russia

has blamed Ukrainian forces. Well, in Britain you are always innocent

until proven guilty. I like to think from the crash report, it was

probably Russian separatists. Tell our audience about Liam. Liam grew

up a happy-go-lucky lad. He probably didn't get into football until late.

Once he started watching Newcastle, he went from a probably happy lad to

a not so happy lad, but he loved life. He loved football. How is the

family? We are doing OK. It is another part of the jigsaw, another

day. I don't think the jigsaw will ever be finalised. But I try to keep

positive because of Liam. He was a fun-loving lad. He enjoyed his life.

Unfortunately, somebody took that away. Barry, thank you very much for

talking to us. Liam died on that plane and that

report is due out at about lunch time. We will bring that to you on

BBC News. Still to come: Israel's

former Prime Minister and President, Shimon Peres -

one of the country's most prominent politicians for seven decades -

has died at the age of 93. We will talk to those who knew him.

The new contract for Junor doctors is due to begin next week. At lunch

time they will find out today if their legal challenge has been

successful. We will talk to three junior doctors in 15 minutes time.

With the news here's Joanna in the BBC Newsroom.

Sam Allardyce has broken his silence about what he's

calling the "error of judgement" that cost him his job

as England manager after just one game in charge.

Speaking in the last half hour, Allardyce apologised for offering

advice on how to avoid rules on player transfers,

that was secretly recorded, but he accused the newspaper

undercover investigation of "entrapment".

On reflection it was a silly thing to do, but just to let everybody

know that I sort of helped out what was somebody I had known for 30

years and unfortunately it was an error in judgement on my behalf and

I paid the consequences. The Prime Minister, President Obama

and Prince Charles will be attending the funeral of the veteran

Israeli politician Shimon Peres. In a career spanning

almost seven decades, Mr Peres served twice as prime

minister, once as president and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994

for achieving an interim peace deal He died at the age of 93

following a stroke. South Wales Police are investigating

the deaths of a man and woman in Cardiff after the discovery

of two bodies in Queen Street, one of the main shopping

addresses the party's annual conference in Liverpool today,

in a keenly awaited speech. He'll address the issue

of immigration and is expected to say a Labour government

would reinstate a fund to soften the impact

on local communities. However, Mr Corbyn risks upsetting

some delegates by not promising He'll also call for an end

to Labour's "trench warfare", and urge the party to prepare

itself for power. Syrian forces say they have seized a

rebel held district in Aleppo. The area has been under heavy

bombardment since the collapse of a ceasefire last week. Civilian

volunteers say there haven't about 17 airstrikes over the past eight

days. There is plans to reduce bail for

criminal suspects in England and Wales who have not been charged. The

proposal put forward by Theresa May, when she was Home Secretary, are

designed to reduce the amount of time suspects are spend on bail. The

College of Policing described them as dangerous.

That's all the sport for now and this morning, but we will be back

with more throughout the day on BBC News.

Thank you very much, Hugh. The veteran Israeli politician

Shimon Peres has died From the declaration

of the State of Israel, Shimon Peres played an important

role in many governments, eventually serving twice as prime

minister and once as president. He won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1994

for his role in negotiating the Oslo Let's talk to a professor who helped

Shimon Peres negotiate the Oslo peace accord which won him the noble

peace award. We are joined by somebody who used

to work with Shimon Peres. How would you sum rise Shimon Peres Shimon

Peres' contribution to Israeli politics? Massive. Awesome, not just

the fact that he did that for 70 years, but if you look at the

quality of some of his contributions, in a very diverse way

from the nuclear project in the 1950s and 1960s to the peace process

of the 1990s and to rehabilitating the institution of the presidency

when he became president. So in every decade in a different way, a

man who went through many incarnations will always know how to

reinvent himself and present different ideas and a different face

to Israel and the world and in the last decade of his life, mostly as

the most venerated Israeli on the global scene.

Remind our British audience about the Oslo peace accord and whether

you think it would be possible without him? It was signed by Oslo

and the PLO. Deadly enemies for decades before that. It was based on

a pedestrian kated on a mutual recognition between the State of

Israel and Palestinian nationalism and it was a road map for going

towards a term nant solution. That did not happen, but the mutual

recognition remains valid and the police authority is still --

Palestinian Authority is still in place. In order to make it happen, a

partnership was needed betwe Shimon Peres' ministers. Mitchell, tell us

what he was like as a man. I mean I worked with him when he was

president as an international media advisor for a period of time. The

guy was just dedicated to Israel's security. And really to Israel's

future. Meaning at the age of 80 he kept innovating himself. It is not

just as the professor said, he reinvented himself all the time, he

was always innovating for himself and for Israel. He was interested in

the latest technologies and his concern was not even for Israel

today. He was going to finish his presidency at the age of 88 or 89 or

90, he was worried about what Israel was going to look like in 10 or 20,

30 years time, and what kind of technology would be there because

that gives us the ability to look at the world differently and with

technology the borders are not as relevant so what risks could Israel

take with technology and where does Israel have to be and I give the

example of the electric car which was in Israel which did not succeed,

but which he was very involved in because he saw that Israel cannot be

dependant on foreign oil and the technology in a small country like

Israel could bring this electric car project in. So he put a lot of

weight behind it and the brain science. Very few people know he

spent his last years in the presidency promoting Israel as a

centre of brain science and brain research in the world. And he was

able to help secure Government funds for it and get some of the

universities together and get some of the private industry together and

I think we will start to see the fruits of that in maybe a few years,

five years or ten years from now like many of the projects he did,

they are really for the long-term and not for the short-term. Is

unusual in Y any politician actually. He spent seven decades in

Israeli politics, what will you remember him for? I mean, I think, I

think that, you know, what I would remember him most for, there is a

famous Sam 29 that King David wrote in Jerusalem and it says that God

gives the people of Israel security, but he blesses them with peace and

that sort is the story of shim shim. He spent the first number -- Shimon

Peres Shimon Peres. Some of the things that the professor mentioned,

the nuclear facility, the aid from France, the aid from the United

States and really getting Israel as a military force to protect its

citizens and then Seend to turn into a pivot and work on the peace part

of the process, meaning now that Israel is secure, and Israel has the

ability to take risks for peace and to really solidify the future of

Israel for again ragses to come, now we can go and try and invest in

peace. I think that's, you have those two components with him. First

his security, ensuring Israel's security and second, is trying to

ensure Israel's future and security through peace and through regional

peace and peace with the Palestinians. Professor what will

you remember him for? For the daily phone call when I was his ambassador

in Washington and there was a project he pursued, the Middle East

regional development, it would be the daily phone call, "How have you

moved on?" There was the creative side, the inventive, the need to

think of something new and the daily grind, the persistence and the drive

and the combination of the two made him effective. Zl thank you very

much, gentlemen. Thank you for coming on the programme.

If you've ever struggled your way around a marathon, then you'll know

what an achievement it is to cross the finish line.

So imagine what it might feel like to run not one, not two,

Jon Kay has been to meet a man who has just done that.

My legs still hurt every single day, I'm not going to lie to you.

Some mornings, I just don't want to get out of bed.

In the last year, Ben Smith has run 10,000 miles.

I've not had one blister or a missing toenail.

Wherever he is, he is often joined by local running clubs.

So we pitched up too for a couple of miles

What kind of effect has this had on your body?

I cannot imagine doing 401 marathons.

Yeah, it's had quite an effect on my body.

My body fat has dropped from 15.5% to just under 10%, so 9.5%.

I feel a lot fitter, leaner, a lot healthier.

Broken bones in his back meant Ben had to stop in Aberdeen.

But remarkably, just ten days later, he was running marathons again

and he has made up all the time and miles that he lost.

My injury probably was my lowest point.

I have found through this that I am quite mentally strong,

so it is quite easy for me to pick myself up out of a hole.

When he was younger, Ben tried to take his own life.

I started to get bullied when I was ten years old.

During this challenge, he stopped at 100 schools,

raising awareness, also raising a target of ?250,000

His message has motivated 9,000 people of all abilities

and backgrounds to join him at different stages.

Give me some words to sum up this man.

It's commitment, dedication and the willpower to do it day

in and day out and for the great charities he is doing it for.

He's really showing dedication above and beyond anything

What do you think of the 401?
