:01:55. > :02:06.into second place to push Labour, once so dominant
:02:07. > :02:08.in Scotland, into third. In England, there's
:02:09. > :02:09.no dramatic change, the Conservatives lost
:02:10. > :02:11.some council seats. but it still won the most
:02:12. > :02:17.councillors overall. The Labour leader declared the party
:02:18. > :02:20.had "hung on" though some of his own MPs were
:02:21. > :02:23.far more critical. Labour fared better

:02:55. > :02:59.-- reigning. Tory divisions do not seem to trouble there are folk too
:03:00. > :03:04.much, Labour may be inching forward but they need to move miles. All
:03:05. > :03:08.across England last night, we were getting predictions that Labour was
:03:09. > :03:15.going to lose councils, we didn't, we hung on, and we grew support in a
:03:16. > :03:20.lot of places. Because our party is standing up, standing up for the
:03:21. > :03:25.steel industry, standing up against the cuts in disability payments made
:03:26. > :03:29.by this government, standing up against the grotesque levels of
:03:30. > :03:34.inequality in Britain. That is the Labour message. Notice that he said
:03:35. > :03:42.hung on, rather than won. It is all most impossible for him to win the
:03:43. > :03:45.country with this. Labour, lost for words in Scotland. Heartbreak as
:03:46. > :03:50.they are pushed to third in what was home. The unthinkable happened... He
:03:51. > :03:54.will not have seen a home. The unthinkable happened... He
:03:55. > :04:00.this here for decades. The Conservatives in second place, here.
:04:01. > :04:05.I promise that I will serve to the very best of my abilities, it is a
:04:06. > :04:10.role a -- it is a role I take seriously. The SNP with a touch
:04:11. > :04:14.fewer seats but very much in charge. We are the very first party in the
:04:15. > :04:22.era of devolution to poll more than 1 million votes. In constituencies
:04:23. > :04:25.across our country. The result of the election was emphatic. The
:04:26. > :04:33.people of Scotland, once again, placed their trust in the SNP, to
:04:34. > :04:38.govern our country. We want a clear and unequivocal mandate. For the
:04:39. > :04:42.Westminster government party, if you sweaty and awkward moments, but
:04:43. > :04:54.despite the Tory splits and spats over Europe, they slept rather than
:04:55. > :05:01.Cinque. -- they slipped rather than sank. Six years in the government,
:05:02. > :05:04.of course we do not get everything right, of course sometimes things go
:05:05. > :05:08.wrong, but people look at the big picture and they want us to go on,
:05:09. > :05:14.delivering what we promised in the manifesto. Labour dug in to keep all
:05:15. > :05:18.but one of its councils, surprisingly sells, perhaps. In
:05:19. > :05:22.areas in the south and around England where they had feared they
:05:23. > :05:27.would lose vital ground. The challenge, as many of the party
:05:28. > :05:30.members and MPs know all too well, they have two show that they can
:05:31. > :05:37.take back territory, not just hold on. But in London, Labour's Sadiq
:05:38. > :05:41.Khan is on the way to do just that, on track to snatch City Hall from
:05:42. > :05:44.the Conservatives's Zac Goldsmith. ELECTRO
:05:45. > :05:49.Wait and see the results. What a big win for Labour, but a powerful purge
:05:50. > :05:58.for a man who has avoided Jeremy Corbyn at all costs. The Liberal
:05:59. > :06:03.Democrat leader rushed to his party's pockets of success, the
:06:04. > :06:09.start of a comeback? Maybe. Even these baby steps are worth popping a
:06:10. > :06:12.court order two. Last year, terrible result, the result of that outcome
:06:13. > :06:16.was that we had to roll up our sleeves and we had to fight back, we
:06:17. > :06:25.have done that with traditional British gusto. Champagne for
:06:26. > :06:29.breakfast? Why not, if you are Ukip, with new seats in Wales, and old
:06:30. > :06:34.faces, they squeezed Labour and the Tories almost everywhere, but their
:06:35. > :06:39.success was most marked in Cardiff. Labour held onto power, suffering
:06:40. > :06:46.pain and surprise, as the Welsh valleys fell to the Plaid Cymru
:06:47. > :06:53.leader. A new dawn is about to break in Wales, here in the Rhondda a new
:06:54. > :06:59.dawn has already broken over the valleys. Their layer upon layer upon
:07:00. > :07:04.layer of results, but underneath all that, at the core, most pressure on
:07:05. > :07:07.Jeremy Corbyn, Labour has avoided a disaster, and on one measure, they
:07:08. > :07:12.are even ahead of the Conservatives, but this is not a good set of
:07:13. > :07:16.results for the party. If they are to have a real shot at returning to
:07:17. > :07:20.power, they need to be piling on hundreds and hundreds of seats in
:07:21. > :07:26.elections like this. These results are nowhere near. It is not just
:07:27. > :07:30.Jeremy Corbyn's enemies who are warning the party to tread
:07:31. > :07:34.carefully, tonight, one of his powerful union backers puts him and
:07:35. > :07:38.his critics on notice. We are at the stage where we should be winning
:07:39. > :07:41.hundreds of seats, that is not just about Jeremy Corbyn, people will not
:07:42. > :07:46.work for a divided Labour Party, those on the right of the party,
:07:47. > :07:49.pushing against Corbyn, they are not doing themselves a service,
:07:50. > :07:52.certainly not doing the party a service, and most importantly of all
:07:53. > :07:57.from the GMB perspective they are not doing working people a service.
:07:58. > :08:01.Rally behind Jeremy Corbyn, who knows what might happen, give it a
:08:02. > :08:04.go for a year or so is not what we very nearly know that these boxes

:08:09. > :08:14.politics is not just about piling up votes were you know that you can
:08:15. > :08:24.win, persuading others where you don't not there. -- dare.
:08:25. > :08:26.So it was a good night for SNP in Scotland,
:08:27. > :08:28.with a third term as the largest party
:08:29. > :08:31.with 63 seats out of 129 but two short of a majority.
:08:32. > :08:33.And it was an unexpected success for the Conservatives,
:08:34. > :08:36.with the party's best performance ever at the Scottish Parliament.
:08:37. > :08:38.The Conservatives are on 31, that's a gain of 16.
:08:39. > :08:42.and the Greens edged ahead of the Liberal Democrats.
:08:43. > :08:44.Our Scotland Editor, Sarah Smith, is at Holyrood for us now.
:08:45. > :08:48.Sarah, what's your assessment of the result?
:08:49. > :08:54.We have learned something very important about Scottish politics,
:08:55. > :08:58.nearly two years after the referendum, it is still all about
:08:59. > :09:03.independence. The party has argued about tax, health and education,
:09:04. > :09:07.mostly, yes voters voted SNP, increasing their vote and returning
:09:08. > :09:12.them to government, and largely, no voters voted Tory, the party who say
:09:13. > :09:22.they are the defenders of the union, they delivered a seismic shock to
:09:23. > :09:32.Scottish politics. VOICEOVER: Labour have a dreadful night... Scots awoke
:09:33. > :09:37.this morning to news that many thought they would never hear,
:09:38. > :09:43.Labour, once so dominant, beaten into third place by the Tories. Ruth
:09:44. > :09:46.Davidson, the Scottish Tory leader, barely mentioned in her campaign
:09:47. > :09:50.that she is a conservative, vomiting simply do stand up to the SNP and
:09:51. > :09:54.against a second independence referendum. I know that there is
:09:55. > :09:58.thousands of people that voted for me last night that are not natural
:09:59. > :10:00.Conservatives, Robert Lee surprise that they considered voting
:10:01. > :10:05.conservative but they did it because they wanted me to do a specific job,
:10:06. > :10:08.they wanted somebody to stand up to the SNP and say, you cannot ignore
:10:09. > :10:12.the decision that we made as a country and try to drag us back to a
:10:13. > :10:17.second referendum. Ruth Davidson is certainly not your average Tory, a
:10:18. > :10:22.working-class kick boxing openly gay woman, always game for a good photo
:10:23. > :10:26.opportunity, she can talk to voters that other Conservatives simply
:10:27. > :10:31.cannot reach. Scotland now has a Tory MSP for the first time, just
:10:32. > :10:35.one of their remarkable gains across Scotland. -- Scotland Street. Is
:10:36. > :10:38.this a surprise? A couple of days ago, Ruth Davidson, who won the
:10:39. > :10:41.constituency, said she did ago, Ruth Davidson, who won the
:10:42. > :10:46.she had a chance of taking it. The voters in Edinburgh Central is
:10:47. > :10:51.bonded to a very effective campaign. Ruth Davidson went out, the last few
:10:52. > :10:56.months, really campaigning, really going for the fact that she could be
:10:57. > :11:01.a good opposition. That strategy, it really hit the nail on the head.
:11:02. > :11:05.What happens to Labour now? What could they do to recover in
:11:06. > :11:07.Scotland? I don't know what happens to Labour, traditionally it was
:11:08. > :11:13.always Labour everywhere in Scotland. It is funny now that they
:11:14. > :11:16.do not seem to have anything to say. What can the Scottish Labour leader
:11:17. > :11:23.say about being bludgeoned into third place? How do you explain the
:11:24. > :11:26.losses? What we saw in Scotland last night was the referendum arguments
:11:27. > :11:30.of the past being run again, strong support for the SNP for the cities
:11:31. > :11:36.that had voted yes, and strong support for the Tories in the areas
:11:37. > :11:39.which were known. That is my deep regret, I thought that Scotland
:11:40. > :11:42.would be ready to move on from those arguments of the past, that has not
:11:43. > :11:44.happened overnight. If Scottish voters do not move on, Labour will

:11:55. > :11:58.and still dreaming of an overall majority but ready to roll,
:11:59. > :12:04.Scotland. -- ready to rule. even though it fell short
:12:05. > :12:06.of an overall majority Labour are now on 29,
:12:07. > :12:12.Plaid Cymru on 12, the Conservatives 11
:12:13. > :12:22.and the Lib Dems 1. Hywel, some comfort for Labour
:12:23. > :12:32.but UKIP are celebrating. Welsh politics never really

:12:36. > :12:38.an earthquake, sometimes barely a Ukip, new kids on the block in the
:12:39. > :12:41.National Assembly, made camera, rocking in the Rhondda Valley, with
:12:42. > :12:46.a surprise result. What last night really does is ask new questions
:12:47. > :12:51.about Labour's future here in Wales. -- Plaid Cymru.
:12:52. > :12:57.the National Assembly has Labour as its largest party.
:12:58. > :12:58.The celebrations showed relief, rather than rapture.
:12:59. > :13:01.Labour knows its grip on Wales has loosened.
:13:02. > :13:04.Its share of the vote is down and rows within the Westminster
:13:05. > :13:06.party are clearly making life difficult.
:13:07. > :13:09.I do wish some of the politicians in London would remember
:13:10. > :13:11.there is an election in Wales and an election in Scotland.
:13:12. > :13:15.I made my views clear last week as to what I thought of it.
:13:16. > :13:19.I don't think it affected the result, if I'm honest with you,
:13:20. > :13:25.people were raising it with us and it was certainly unhelpful.
:13:26. > :13:27.The election results brought some small, but significant changes
:13:28. > :13:39.Ukip, the party promising to break the cosy consensus of
:13:40. > :13:42.Welsh politics, now has Assembly Members, too.

:13:50. > :13:53.I just don't think they are doing anything to help the communities.
:13:54. > :13:55.As for Ukip, it's on everybody's lips, isn't it, it's immigration.
:13:56. > :14:01.And that's why, and people want jobs for Welsh people.
:14:02. > :14:07.Change has already come to the National Assembley.
:14:08. > :14:10.Some new faces have already been sworn in,
:14:11. > :14:13.but for as long as the anti-Labour vote is split,
:14:14. > :14:17.it will remain Wales' governing party.
:14:18. > :14:26.We have the opposition to Labour,
:14:27. > :14:27.the non-Labour parties, spread, and so,
:14:28. > :14:29.whilst they make some challenges to Labour,
:14:30. > :14:32.Labour can now take its time in deciding if it's happy to govern
:14:33. > :14:37.The new era in Welsh politics still feels a lot like the last.
:14:38. > :14:39.In Northern Ireland the first results are beginning to come
:14:40. > :14:41.in though the final outcome isn't expected until tomorrow.
:14:42. > :14:46.the People Before Profit Party topped the poll in the Sinn Fein
:14:47. > :14:52.stronghold of west Belfast to win its first seat at Stormont.
:14:53. > :14:55.Let's talk to our Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler who's
:14:56. > :14:59.are you getting any sense of the way the voting is going?
:15:00. > :15:07.Even with less than a quarter of the seats, it is clear that the big
:15:08. > :15:10.winners are the Democratic Unionist parties, they base much of their
:15:11. > :15:14.election campaign around their first female leader, she has only been in
:15:15. > :15:17.the job six months, but it has paid off, and they will be the biggest
:15:18. > :15:19.party at Stormont once again and once again she will be the First
:15:20. > :15:29.Minister of Northern Ireland. You Sinn Fein will be the second
:15:30. > :15:32.biggest party and Martin McGuinness will be Deputy First Minister,
:15:33. > :15:36.although as you mentioned in Sinn Fein's heartland of West Belfast
:15:37. > :15:39.they were beaten to the poll by the People Before Profit alliance. They
:15:40. > :15:44.have their first member at Stormont. That really is a were test vote. But
:15:45. > :15:47.away from all of that, the DUP and Sinn Fein have once again dominated
:15:48. > :15:52.this election and they'll dominate Stormont at the expense of both the
:15:53. > :15:55.SDLP and the Ulster Unionists, although the complicated system of
:15:56. > :15:58.voting here in Northern Ireland means the counting continues and the
:15:59. > :16:12.final seats won't be filled until tomorrow at the earliest. Thank you.
:16:13. > :16:15.Let's get the latest on the London Mayor, Sadiq Khan in the lead.
:16:16. > :16:23.. I can say that in an hour or so's time Sadiq Khan will become the
:16:24. > :16:27.Labour Mayor of London. A ray of light for Labour, amid a set of
:16:28. > :16:32.results that demonstrated how much ground they have to cover. Sadiq
:16:33. > :16:38.CAP, as he arrived in City Hall, we were waiting with one question, was
:16:39. > :16:44.it an endorsement of Jeremy Corbyn, answer came, none, in truth, Sadiq
:16:45. > :16:50.Khan believeses it is his win and not Jeremy Corbyn. . So, the mut
:16:51. > :16:53.any, the challenge to his leadership, the counterrevolution,
:16:54. > :16:57.that's being put on hold. There were two MPs ready to stand to get things
:16:58. > :17:01.going, I can tell you there was one member of the Shadow Cabinet who was
:17:02. > :17:06.privately prepared to join in, if a contest got started but now Jeremy
:17:07. > :17:10.Corbyn has got himself a breathing space and the critics, the mutineers
:17:11. > :17:13.Will have to watch and wait their chance. Wait they will, because this
:17:14. > :17:15.final reckoning in the Labour Party, it has been delayed, not resolved.
:17:16. > :17:19.Thank you very much. And there's lots more detail
:17:20. > :17:22.and analysis on our website and details of the elections
:17:23. > :17:24.for police and crime commissioners. The national and local elections -
:17:25. > :17:35.the SNP wins a third term in Scotland where
:17:36. > :17:39.Labour finish third. Jeremy Corbyn says his party has
:17:40. > :17:41.hung on in England. As the wildfires spread,
:17:42. > :17:44.could this be Canada's costliest the Tottenham midfielder will miss
:17:45. > :17:56.the end of this season and the start of next,
:17:57. > :18:10.as punishment for violent conduct. The Government has announced a major
:18:11. > :18:14.climbdown from its plan to force all schools in England
:18:15. > :18:17.to become academies. After strong protests
:18:18. > :18:20.from Conservative MPs, teaching unions and schools, the
:18:21. > :18:23.Education Secretary, Nicky Morgan, says the policy is now just
:18:24. > :18:25.an aspiration and good or outstanding schools will not
:18:26. > :18:28.have to make the change. Our Education Editor,
:18:29. > :18:33.Branwen Jeffreys, has more. In the middle of the North Yorkshire
:18:34. > :18:38.moors, a village school here for more than 100 years,
:18:39. > :18:41.now just nine pupils, it feared being forced
:18:42. > :18:45.to become an academy. It was schools like this that
:18:46. > :18:47.galvanised a Tory revolt. Today the Education Secretary gave
:18:48. > :18:54.way. With support, those strong local
:18:55. > :18:59.authorities, where schools are good and outstanding,
:19:00. > :19:01.they can make the choice to convert, I hope that they will,
:19:02. > :19:05.because we are convinced that becoming academies does lift
:19:06. > :19:07.standards, but they can do So what does this
:19:08. > :19:13.academies climb-down mean? Good schools will not be forced
:19:14. > :19:21.to become academies, But schools will become academies
:19:22. > :19:25.in areas where councils And councils will have an equal say
:19:26. > :19:29.over the future of So they can't close
:19:30. > :19:34.without local agreement. So I asked Nicky
:19:35. > :19:36.Morgan how badly did There is a huge appetite amongst
:19:37. > :19:43.parliamentary colleagues on the Conservative benches
:19:44. > :19:46.for schools to become academies. But not to be forced
:19:47. > :19:50.to become academies? Well, that's what we are saying,
:19:51. > :19:53.we don't think it is necessary for there to be a blanket provision
:19:54. > :19:56.for schools to convert You put forward these plans,
:19:57. > :20:01.you defended them. Doesn't this undermine your own
:20:02. > :20:08.authority as Education Secretary? All government has to be about
:20:09. > :20:11.listening to Members of Parliament. As Secretary of State for Education,
:20:12. > :20:13.listening to the provision and listening to those
:20:14. > :20:17.working in education. As I way, we remain absolutely
:20:18. > :20:24.committed to all schools becoming academies, we think that's the right
:20:25. > :20:27.thing to do. George Osborne put these plans
:20:28. > :20:29.at the centre of his Budget. We are going to complete the task
:20:30. > :20:32.of setting schools free from local education bureaucracy
:20:33. > :20:34.and we are going to do A flagship policy, and a massive
:20:35. > :20:38.climb-down on a busy day This is a bad policy which nobody
:20:39. > :20:46.wanted and nobody needed. But there is no question,

:21:37. > :21:41.sunny Tuesday. But darkness has descended on Fort McMurray and
:21:42. > :21:46.80,000 people are fleeing for their lives. Behind, on the left of

:22:06. > :22:11.burnt on the streets. Crazy what fire can do. Crazy. Three days on,
:22:12. > :22:17.the fires are still burning and people are still escaping. Many
:22:18. > :22:21.thousands, who were trapped north of the city, are now being led to
:22:22. > :22:25.safety in a convoy. Others are being flown to emergency centres like this

:25:27. > :25:30.is what I mean by a backward step towards the west of the UK. More
:25:31. > :25:33.cloud, showers, maybe thunderstorms. Northern Ireland outbreaks of rain
:25:34. > :25:36.and we could see that fringing into parts of Scotland. Into the
:25:37. > :25:39.afternoon, maybe the Midlands, running northwards through the
:25:40. > :25:43.Pennines, parts of Yorkshire noshgts west England there could be a few
:25:44. > :25:47.intense thunderstorms and a risk of hail. Uncertainty about that so
:25:48. > :25:51.check the latest forecast updates. The warmth is still there in the
:25:52. > :25:53.sunshine in south-east England. Temperatures close to normal for
:25:54. > :25:57.Scotland and Northern Ireland. If you are close to the east coast of
:25:58. > :26:01.Scotland, north-east England, sea temperatures, 8 or 9 and with mist
:26:02. > :26:04.that holds the temperatures down along the coast with the onshore

:26:09. > :26:11.showers and thunderstorms out to the west, they will push away northwards
:26:12. > :26:15.through the morning and by the afternoon, most of us are in the
:26:16. > :26:18.sunshine and the warmth and that warmth is more widespread. It is
:26:19. > :26:23.reaching into Scotland and Northern Ireland and that's why we are
:26:24. > :26:30.looking at Glasgow 20, Belfast 19. Still a cool onshore flow to eastern

:26:56. > :26:57.do the results tell us about the state of the parties and the message
:26:58. > :27:00.are vote triergs to give state of the parties and the message
:27:01. > :27:03.are vote triergs to give them? Let's take a breath and stand back. So
:27:04. > :27:08.many results here. Funnily enough, hardly any change in terms of who is
:27:09. > :27:13.actually in charge, of whether local councils or of the administration in
:27:14. > :27:16.Edinburgh and Cardiff. But there are big lessons to take from this from
:27:17. > :27:20.the political parties. Two big lessons from Scotland. For Labour,
:27:21. > :27:25.which, remember, needs Scotland if they are to have a chance of winning
:27:26. > :27:30.another general election, they were roundly rejected. They fell back
:27:31. > :27:37.still further. It wasn't Jeremy Corbyn's campaign, it was led in
:27:38. > :27:39.Scotland, but they did put forward more Jeremy Corbyn-friendly
:27:40. > :27:43.policies, Kezia Dugdale, the leader there, moved the party to the left
:27:44. > :27:46.and voters said, plainly and firmly that they didn't like it and that
:27:47. > :27:52.should be a worry for the Labour Party tonight. For the Tories,
:27:53. > :27:55.though, also a lesson, their modernising candidate, Ruth Davis
:27:56. > :27:59.son with razzmatazz had astonishing success but here in London, a more
:28:00. > :28:02.old-fashioned campaign with a nastier tone, saw the parties
:28:03. > :28:05.stumble back and lose City Hall just over the water. But the Tories,
:28:06. > :28:09.really, although they didn't see much enthusiasm and they have lost
:28:10. > :28:13.City Hall, they don't feel there is anything in these results that they
:28:14. > :28:17.need to panic B the sense from there tonight -- panic B the sense from
:28:18. > :28:21.there tonight is they have got offline lightly. For Labour, Jeremy
:28:22. > :28:25.Corbyn's team feel they have done much better than expected but his
:28:26. > :28:30.internal enemies may have put their knives away for now, but they will
:28:31. > :28:37.be keeping their blades sharp. There is a deep-routed concern in the
:28:38. > :28:40.Labour Party that Jeremy Corbyn has not yet shown how he can persuade
:28:41. > :28:46.voters in the middle he has something to say to them. All this
:28:47. > :28:49.comes with a whaelt warning, local elections, don't translate to how we
:28:50. > :28:53.might vote at a general election, but only a foolish political party
:28:54. > :29:00.would ignore the clues of the last few days. That's all from the BBC
