:01:46. > :01:50.Jeremy Corbyn has told the BBC he doesn't believe that immigration in
:01:51. > :01:54.the UK is too high. In a major speech, he is expected to suggest
:01:55. > :01:57.that Labour is no longer wedded to the principle of freedom of
:01:58. > :02:01.movement. When asked if he had changed his mind about the numbers
:02:02. > :02:06.coming to the UK this morning, he said no. He also addressed the issue
:02:07. > :02:12.of pay, saying he wanted to put a cap on the maximum amount people can
:02:13. > :02:16.earn in the UK, to create a more equal society. Our political
:02:17. > :02:19.correspondent reports. He has criticised the Prime Minister for
:02:20. > :02:25.not having a plan for Brexit but he has been under pressure to set out
:02:26. > :02:27.his stall. Today, he reached out for Labour voters worried about EU
:02:28. > :02:32.immigration by saying his party wasn't wedded to freedom of
:02:33. > :02:38.movement. In a BBC interview he didn't suggest any new restrictions,
:02:39. > :02:41.so how would he'd tackle the level of unskilled immigration? Ending
:02:42. > :02:45.exploitation of migrant workers, ending on cutting existing pay
:02:46. > :02:52.conditions, and enforcing the workers directive, which describes
:02:53. > :02:56.the way people are recruited to come to this country to undercut existing
:02:57. > :03:02.working conditions. With this cut the number of EU migrants? It
:03:03. > :03:05.probably means there would be fewer. Some in his own party said he should
:03:06. > :03:10.be flagging up more specific policies. We have to be clear and
:03:11. > :03:14.consistent about what our policy on immigration is. That's why it
:03:15. > :03:18.Stephen Kinnock and I'd put forward what was a well thought through
:03:19. > :03:23.proposal about retaining preference for EU workers over non-EU workers
:03:24. > :03:27.in order to get the best economic deal, but equally, there would be
:03:28. > :03:32.restrictions and quotas in low skilled areas of work. The
:03:33. > :03:37.Conservatives are accusing Jeremy Corbyn of swiftly changing his
:03:38. > :03:40.position on EU immigration. On the one hand it was trailed overnight in
:03:41. > :03:44.the newspapers that the Labour Party were committed to ending freedom of
:03:45. > :03:49.movement rules. By the time they hit the TV studios that had gone out the
:03:50. > :03:54.window. Those close to Jeremy Corbyn said he wanted to catch the
:03:55. > :04:00.antiestablishment mood sweeping through many Western companies. Not
:04:01. > :04:06.exactly a left-wing Donald Trump but someone for those political weather.
:04:07. > :04:19.He created a bit of a storm over his plans for those on high pay, too. I
:04:20. > :04:23.would like to see a maximum earnings limit because I think that would be
:04:24. > :04:28.a fairer thing to do. We can't set ourselves up as being a grossly
:04:29. > :04:32.unequal, bargain basement economy, on the shores of Europe. We have to
:04:33. > :04:41.be something that is more eager to her in. We don't think pay caps are
:04:42. > :04:47.the way to run a modern economy. We don't think politicians know what
:04:48. > :04:50.the correct level of pay is for the chief executive of a FTSE 100
:04:51. > :04:54.company which has hundreds of thousands of employees across the
:04:55. > :04:58.world. Jeremy Corbyn won't be that bothered that his high-paid cap is
:04:59. > :05:01.unpopular with business. His bigger challenge is to find policies that
:05:02. > :05:07.appeal to Labour supporters who voted to remain in the EU, as well
:05:08. > :05:09.as addressing the concerns of those who want to leave.
:05:10. > :05:13.Our Assistant Political Editor Norman Smith is in Westminster.
:05:14. > :05:21.His interview today is being billed as a relaunch, how has it gone down
:05:22. > :05:25.so far? With a good deal of head scratching, and confusion. Today was
:05:26. > :05:29.meant to be the day when Mr Corbyn rebooted his leadership with a more
:05:30. > :05:36.confident, popular, assertive leader, ready to take on the
:05:37. > :05:40.Westminster village. Even his closest Shadow Cabinet colleagues
:05:41. > :05:44.were taken by surprise by this idea of a pay cut. An absolute limit on
:05:45. > :05:54.the top salaries some people could earn. Similarly, his attempt to
:05:55. > :05:57.strike a more popular stance on Brexit, saying Brexit could be good
:05:58. > :06:03.for Britain and that Labour was no longer wedded to freedom of
:06:04. > :06:07.movement, confusion there, too. Because in interviews this morning,
:06:08. > :06:11.Mr Corbyn said, actually, I haven't changed my mind on immigration
:06:12. > :06:15.freedom of movement. Yes, there might be tighter labour market rules
:06:16. > :06:19.to stop EU workers undercutting British workers, but he shied away
:06:20. > :06:24.from any changes to freedom of movement. Just figured measure, he
:06:25. > :06:26.said he supported striking railway workers and would be happy to seen
:06:27. > :06:33.on the picket lines at Southern Rail. Mr Corbyn's people are quite
:06:34. > :06:37.relaxed. This is the new, unvarnished, confident Jeremy Corbyn
:06:38. > :06:42.telling it as it is. They think he can ride the popular,
:06:43. > :06:45.antiestablishment bandwagons we've seen in the Brexit referendum, and
:06:46. > :06:49.over the Atlantic in the United States election. The fear of his
:06:50. > :06:53.critics in the Labour Party, is that yes, he's getting the headlines all
:06:54. > :06:54.right, but these are not the headlines a Labour leader should
:06:55. > :06:56.want. Hundreds of thousands of commuters
:06:57. > :06:59.in the south of England have struggled to get to work today
:07:00. > :07:01.because of the latest strike The dispute - which has been
:07:02. > :07:06.going on for nearly 10 months - is about taking away guards
:07:07. > :07:09.and having driver only trains. Our transport correspondent
:07:10. > :07:11.Richard Westcott is at East Croydon station -
:07:12. > :07:22.how much of a service How much of a service has there been
:07:23. > :07:27.today, Richard? It has been quite limited. It's a bit calmer. You can
:07:28. > :07:33.see behind me. In rush hour this was a huge, snaking queue going hundreds
:07:34. > :07:36.of meters down the side of the station. No Southern services today
:07:37. > :07:43.so people were cramming on the services there were. This has been
:07:44. > :07:48.rumbling on now for ten months and it's not just the strike days that
:07:49. > :07:52.are bad, it's everyday. Drivers aren't working overtime, which is
:07:53. > :07:57.essential to running a railway line. Cancellations, delays, every day.
:07:58. > :08:05.Someone has got to step in to sort this out, people are saying
:08:06. > :08:12.universally. It's becoming all too familiar. Realistically we aren't
:08:13. > :08:16.going to get on this one so we'll wait for the next one. Commuters on
:08:17. > :08:21.one of Britain's busiest rail lines, struggling through a strike. The
:08:22. > :08:25.whole situation is a complete joke. Other like to know I'm going to end
:08:26. > :08:29.up at my destination at a certain time. It's the uncertainty of being
:08:30. > :08:36.able to say, I'll get back to meet someone, or might childcare or
:08:37. > :08:41.something. Southern normally runs 2200 services a day, today they
:08:42. > :08:44.managed 16. This is the queue just to get into East Croydon station.
:08:45. > :08:50.All of these people have been trying to get into London. It's about
:08:51. > :08:58.8:45am. The queue snakes around a lot, and goes down the side of the
:08:59. > :09:03.station, probably about 100 metres. It's taken me an hour to get to
:09:04. > :09:08.Croydon and now I've got to queue. I think we should all go on strike!
:09:09. > :09:13.For nearly a year, they've been Rowling about changes to the role of
:09:14. > :09:17.the on-board guard. Southern wants drivers to take over closing the
:09:18. > :09:21.train doors. The unions say that threatens safety and jobs. Southern
:09:22. > :09:24.says no one is losing their post, and the safety regulator is happy
:09:25. > :09:33.with the changes. There's no of a breakthrough. -- no sign of a
:09:34. > :09:37.breakthrough. This is a new million pound lab in Croydon. They moved
:09:38. > :09:42.hundreds of staff here last year because of the train service. But
:09:43. > :09:46.Southern's drivers aren't working overtime at the moment, causing
:09:47. > :09:50.delays and cancellations everyday. It's having a devastating effect on
:09:51. > :09:54.staff. They are having to pay the extra childcare, their children
:09:55. > :09:57.aren't safe getting home from clubs and school. They can't arrange
:09:58. > :10:02.meetings, they're having arguments at home, they are feeling stressed,
:10:03. > :10:04.tired and irritable. A number of people say they are getting more and
:10:05. > :10:09.more stressed every day about whether they are going to get home,
:10:10. > :10:13.or on time for their commitment that night. Back on board, several
:10:14. > :10:18.commuters said this. The government need to do something about it. It's
:10:19. > :10:22.ridiculous. So the BBC that the proper question to the Minister.
:10:23. > :10:27.What are you doing about it? Don't you have a duty to step in on
:10:28. > :10:30.behalf... The government is engaged in trying to find a way to get this

:10:40. > :10:44.Southern today, but this issue threatens to spread across Britain.
:10:45. > :10:50.I said in that report, little sign of a breakthrough. I was talking to
:10:51. > :10:54.the boss of Aslef last week, one of the two unions involved. I said, how
:10:55. > :11:00.close are you to a deal when you are going into these talks with the
:11:01. > :11:03.company? He said we are a universe apart at the moment. It's hard to

:13:33. > :13:40.World Cup work? The first round would see teams
:13:41. > :13:44.divided into 16 groups of three. The top two countries would likely
