:09:19. > :09:24.send British war planes into harm's way. The decision to announce hi
:09:25. > :09:29.won't back military action put him as odds with his Shadow Cabinet and
:09:30. > :09:34.infuriated many MPs who want a free vote and some are talking he may
:09:35. > :09:37.have to resign. There is a poisonous atmosphere in the Labour Party at
:09:38. > :09:40.the moment, which is very disagreeable, but it is minor
:09:41. > :09:46.compared to the serious decisions that have to be taken. How does
:09:47. > :09:51.Jeremy Corbyn and his small group think they have got the unique view
:09:52. > :09:57.on it? If anybody should be resigning actual this it should be
:09:58. > :10:01.Jeremy Corbyn. At the common wealth summit, the Prime Minister again
:10:02. > :10:06.made the argument for attacking Islamic State. Many MPs on all sides
:10:07. > :10:12.agreed there was a compelling case. I would urge all of them to vote on
:10:13. > :10:17.the basis of the arguments. That argument to counter the threat from
:10:18. > :10:25.IS with military force is accepted by Labour's shadow Foreign Secretary
:10:26. > :10:30.who said he wouldn't resign. We know what they do, the crucifixes and the
:10:31. > :10:35.selling of women into slavery. It is important that we as the United
:10:36. > :10:40.Kingdom play our full part and show solidarity with our great ally,
:10:41. > :10:47.France. On social media the shadow Chancellor urged his colleagues to
:10:48. > :10:54.calm down. While other pro-Corbyn campaigners send out e-mails urging
:10:55. > :10:58.Labour MPs to oppose bombing. Party members will want MPs to unite. What
:10:59. > :11:02.Jeremy Corbyn is saying is what party members are saying. It is a
:11:03. > :11:07.row that has been felt in Oldham near Manchester where voters will
:11:08. > :11:13.elect a new MP. Jeremy Corbyn cancelled a planned visit to deal
:11:14. > :11:18.with the crisis. Oldham is a safe Labour seat, but Labour MPs are
:11:19. > :11:22.nervous. They fear many of the party's traditional supporters won't
:11:23. > :11:28.vote, and some think that Jeremy Corbyn is the reason why. What do
:11:29. > :11:33.you think about Jeremy Corbyn? I'm not over gone on him. Speaks a lot
:11:34. > :11:42.of sense in my opinion. I don't like him. You will still vote Labour? Yes
:11:43. > :11:48.I don't like him, but Labour are the work class values. What do you
:11:49. > :11:57.think? Are you him? Not keen on him. The row is more than about Labour's
:11:58. > :11:59.chances at the ballot box. It could decide whether war planes are
:12:00. > :12:02.striking Syria soon. Police say a gun attack on two

:13:07. > :13:10.ambitious. To run 12 investigations in parallel represents an
:13:11. > :13:17.organisational challenge that is unprecedented. In the first 18

:13:42. > :13:45.inquiries were properly carried out. But Lowell Goddard's scrutiny of the
:13:46. > :13:51.establishment won't end there. He will look at what she called the
:13:52. > :13:54.cover ups in Westminster, former and current MPs, advisors, and the
:13:55. > :14:03.Security Services looking for the bad in the great and good. The

:14:17. > :14:19.Charles as a supporters. Lowell Goddard said she expects
:14:20. > :14:24.co-operation from all. But another challenge is to win the trust of
:14:25. > :14:29.survivors. When you're abused all the power and control is taken from
:14:30. > :14:35.you. So to gain that back, you have to trust people that you come into

:24:49. > :24:53.On the beach a local boat Yard worker has been busy cleaning
:24:54. > :25:00.barnacles from this unusual piece of space debris. It was towed here
:25:01. > :25:05.yesterday after the skipper of the island's boat service spotted it out
:25:06. > :25:09.at sea. We were quite intrigued as to what it was. At first they
:25:10. > :25:14.thought it might have been part of an aeroplane, but it was pretty
:25:15. > :25:20.shocking to scrape the barnacles off and find out it is part of a rocket
:25:21. > :25:26.ship. The debris is believed to be from this spacecraft launched from
:25:27. > :25:29.Cape Canaveral in September, 2014. It was taking part to the
:25:30. > :25:33.International Space Station. Photographs from before the launch
:25:34. > :25:37.show the same detail on the side of the rocket. It has caused quite a
:25:38. > :25:43.stir on Tresco and everybody is talking about this piece of space
:25:44. > :25:52.rocket. One enterprising local man started charging ?5 to have photos
:25:53. > :25:54.taken of it, ?10 if he was in the photos as well, trying to capitalise
:25:55. > :25:59.on this most unlikely of new arrivals. Now it is here nobody is
:26:00. > :26:03.sure what happens next. Its American owners are trying to verify exactly
:26:04. > :26:06.which rocket it is. Perhaps they will want it back in Florida or
:26:07. > :26:12.perhaps it will find a permanent home year on this remote island.

:26:46. > :26:54.She was battling the winter. Yes, that could have been filmed
:26:55. > :26:58.outside the day. But it has not been all doom and gloom. Look at these
:26:59. > :27:04.gorgeous spells of sunshine in North Lincolnshire. But sunny spells are
:27:05. > :27:09.in short supply as we move through the weekend. Things are looking very
:27:10. > :27:15.unsettled with plenty of showery rain and snow on the hills and
:27:16. > :27:20.mountains of Scotland. We have got this weather front with us at the
:27:21. > :27:25.moment. It pushes away towards the east and then our attention turns to
:27:26. > :27:30.heavy showers piling in from the west, and strengthening winds as
:27:31. > :27:36.well. These showers are falling as snow on top of the hills and
:27:37. > :27:40.mountains of Scotland. Three or 4 degrees typically Saturday morning,
:27:41. > :27:45.but colder than that in the countryside. It will be a windy day
:27:46. > :27:49.tomorrow. The far South East of England probably stays dry for
:27:50. > :27:56.longest and those gusts could reach 40-50 mph. Temperature wise it is
:27:57. > :28:02.5-10 , so cooler than recent days and it will feel cold where you are
:28:03. > :28:06.exposed to the strong wind. We keep the wind and the showers as we head
:28:07. > :28:12.through Saturday night and into Sunday. On Sunday it is another
:28:13. > :28:17.blustery day. Heavy showers once again moving across much of the
:28:18. > :28:22.country. The gusts could well reach 50-60 miles an hour on Sunday
:28:23. > :28:26.again, having the potential to cause disruption. Turning a bit milder in
:28:27. > :28:32.the south, but still pretty cold in the North. Lots happening over the
:28:33. > :28:35.weekend. We have got warnings in force for rain and wind as well.
