:00:07. > :00:13.Immigration levels in the UK are not too high, says the Labour leader

:00:14. > :00:18.Jeremy Corbyn. But he says stopping the exploitation of workers would

:00:19. > :00:22.probably bring down the levels of migration. I want to deal with the

:00:23. > :00:26.worst aspects of exploitation first. Deal with that, that is a crucial

:00:27. > :00:31.one, which also would improve working conditions for people in

:00:32. > :00:35.this country as well. Mr Corbyn has also called for a cap on how much

:00:36. > :00:57.people can earn, saying it would lead to a fairer society. Struggling

:00:58. > :01:01.into work, hundreds of thousands of commuters across southern England

:01:02. > :01:03.are hit by the latest three-day strike by Southern Rail drivers. A

:01:04. > :01:04.15-year-old girl has been arrested after a seven-year-old girl was

:01:05. > :01:07.found with life-threatening injuries in York and has died. Festive cheer

:01:08. > :01:09.for Morrisons, as they record their best Christmas sales figures for

:01:10. > :01:12.seven years. Getting bigger, the World Cup will expand to 48 teams in

:01:13. > :01:15.less than a decade, as 16 more teams are allowed in. In sport, Johanna

:01:16. > :01:18.Konta's preparations for the Australian open go from strength to

:01:19. > :01:19.strength. She is through to the quarterfinals of the Sydney

:01:20. > :01:45.International. Good afternoon. The Labour leader

: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

:10:31. > :10:35.issue resolved and we'll carry on doing that. In Merseyside, unions

:10:36. > :10:39.are fighting similar plans to bring in driver only operated trains. It's

: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

:11:04. > :11:07.see how this whole dispute is going to be resolved.

:11:08. > :11:09.Police have arrested a 15-year-old girl

:11:10. > :11:11.in connection with the death of a seven-year-old child in York.

:11:12. > :11:13.Police found the girl with life-threatening

:11:14. > :11:15.injuries near a house in Woodthorpe yesterday afternoon.

:11:16. > :11:24.Our correspondent Danny Savage is in York.

:11:25. > :11:32.The seven-year-old girl was found at about 4:30pm yesterday, at the end

:11:33. > :11:37.of an alleyway just behind me on the outskirts of York, just inside the

:11:38. > :11:40.city's outer ring road. There has been a forensics tent there since

:11:41. > :11:45.the incident last night. It has just gone down this morning. People have

:11:46. > :11:50.been talking about the fact the girl's mother was one of the first

:11:51. > :11:55.on the scene yesterday, she was on her knees in the street shouting and

:11:56. > :11:59.sobbing about what had happened. After that, a 15-year-old girl was

:12:00. > :12:03.arrested. The seven-year-old girl was attended to by police officers

:12:04. > :12:07.and then taken to hospital. She died of her injuries a short time later.

:12:08. > :12:14.This morning, investigations have been ongoing. We know that a house

:12:15. > :12:17.half a mile from here is currently with police vehicles outside it. We

:12:18. > :12:24.believe that is connected to what happened here. The 15-year-old girl

:12:25. > :12:29.is being questioned by police officers at the moment. Police have

:12:30. > :12:34.been here to leave flowers, one message left reads, night night my

:12:35. > :12:39.darling princess, love Nan and grandad. People are very shocked

:12:40. > :12:39.about what happened here. Investigations are ongoing and

:12:40. > :12:45.hopefully we'll know more later. Football's world governing body Fifa

:12:46. > :12:48.has approved plans to expand The new format will be

:12:49. > :12:52.introduced from 2026. The bulk of the additional slots

:12:53. > :12:54.are likely to go to African Our sports news correspondent

:12:55. > :12:58.Richard Conway reports from Fifa's Fifa has been set on clearing

:12:59. > :13:04.a path to an expanded But from 2026, it will get its way,

:13:05. > :13:13.with 48 teams joining the party. There's China coming

:13:14. > :13:15.into the system, maybe in a couple of years India will also come

:13:16. > :13:20.into the system. Once China comes into the system,

:13:21. > :13:25.Thailand, Vietnam, any other country around it will also come up

:13:26. > :13:30.with a better infrastructure, to bring countries that can also

:13:31. > :13:32.have the chance to compete So how would a 48-team

: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

:13:45. > :13:49.qualify into the knockout rounds. From there, it's win or go home,

:13:50. > :13:54.all the way to the final. All of which means the finalists

:13:55. > :13:56.will play seven games in total, the same number under the current

:13:57. > :14:03.format of 32 teams. With football now played

:14:04. > :14:05.almost all year round, Europe's big club teams have

:14:06. > :14:08.objected to any change. And there are others within

:14:09. > :14:11.the sport who think the current If you get to the final,

:14:12. > :14:18.you're still playing only seven But it's the early parts, where

:14:19. > :14:23.you've got a lot of teams involved. Group stages, groups

:14:24. > :14:25.of three, they are looking So the format is really strange,

:14:26. > :14:31.and I think you probably need a lawyer or a mathematician,

:14:32. > :14:33.an actuary, to actually work out It was 1998, the last time Fifa

:14:34. > :14:40.added teams to the World Cup. Such moves generate

:14:41. > :14:43.enormous extra revenues. Fifa will bring in ?800 million more

:14:44. > :14:48.in 2026, as a result of this move. But with 211 members,

:14:49. > :14:52.there is huge sporting and political There will be great opportunities

:14:53. > :15:01.too for British teams to qualify. From a Scotland perspective,

:15:02. > :15:03.it's good news, there's more However, it comes with a lot

:15:04. > :15:08.of caveats, and I think those caveats are, with an expansion,

:15:09. > :15:13.it is potentially travelling a far After a number of years when Fifa

:15:14. > :15:19.was rocked by corruption scandals, its new leadership seems determined

:15:20. > :15:22.to assert itself. But they must now convince critics

:15:23. > :15:41.of the merit in reforming The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says

:19:12. > :19:19.great results. It's a remarkable performance. 2.9% growth last year,

:19:20. > :19:21.in this marketplace the team were to be congratulated at Morrisons. They

:19:22. > :19:27.delivered it through improved customer service and making products

:19:28. > :19:31.more available to the customers. No doubt about it, Morrisons was one of

:19:32. > :19:34.the big winners this Christmas. Judging by new figures out today,

:19:35. > :19:40.business was good for the supermarkets in general. Because

:19:41. > :19:46.Christmas fell on a Sunday, we had a whole week to shop. And it was huge.

:19:47. > :19:51.Round it all up, we spent ?480 million more on groceries than we

:19:52. > :19:57.did last year for the 12 weeks to the end of December. That's growth

:19:58. > :20:06.of nearly 2%. But for the first time in two years, prices rose by 0.2%. A

:20:07. > :20:13.sign of things to come. Food sales helped deliver a solid December for

:20:14. > :20:17.the retail sector overall. It was a goodish end to a roller-coaster

:20:18. > :20:22.year. Retail sales across the whole of 2016 grew more slowly than they

:20:23. > :20:26.had done in the previous year. That raises more questions in the minds

:21:58. > :22:00.it was coping well. Figures leaked to the BBC from inside the NHS,

:22:01. > :22:02.covering the first week of January, show that on one particular gauge,

:22:03. > :22:05.the NHS was really struggling and not coping well. That is over

:22:06. > :22:09.so-called trolley waits, the length patience will have to stay having

:22:10. > :22:12.been admitted because there is no bed available, and the particularly

:22:13. > :22:18.serious situation when you have to wait more than 12 hours. The figures

:22:19. > :22:23.leaked to the BBC showed there were 485 waiting over 12 hours in the

:22:24. > :22:30.first week of the year compared to last January, when only 158

:22:35. > :22:38.extreme pressure, but this seems to be rather at odds with that, with

:22:39. > :22:41.quite a few hospitals having to keep patients on trolleys before they
