:04:21. > :04:25.people who will be upset. Tomorrow David Cameron
:04:26. > :04:27.will take his last question There'll be tributes
:04:28. > :04:31.and they will be sincere. He won two elections
:04:32. > :04:34.and two referendums, before defeat in the European vote
:04:35. > :04:37.carried away all he had gained and his dream of leading a one

:04:46. > :04:53.and without seeking a new mandate But the David Cameron, as the

:05:00. > :05:01.Westminster. A meeting is taking place now over
:05:02. > :05:04.the troubled leadership Labour's National Executive
:05:05. > :05:08.Committee is deciding whether Jeremy Corbyn can
:05:09. > :05:10.automatically stand in a leadership ballot even without the support
:05:11. > :05:12.of 20% of the party's At the moment Mr Corbyn doesn't
:05:13. > :05:17.appear to have sufficient support whereas his challenger,
:05:18. > :05:18.Angela Eagle, does. Our political editor
:05:19. > :05:31.Laura Kuenssberg has the latest. Good afternoon, lovely to see you.
:05:32. > :05:35.He knew this moment might come. A bit of politeness, please, can you
:05:36. > :05:39.all make way. Jeremy Corbyn fought through the Labour establishment to
:05:40. > :05:44.win, now it's taking him on. Can you guys be really kind for once and let
:05:45. > :05:49.me get into the meeting? His refusal to make way, though most MPs want
:05:50. > :05:54.him gone, mean Labour is stuck in a stalemate. Good luck Jeremy! It's
:05:55. > :05:58.not about luck but the meaning of the law. MPs who want Mr Corbyn to
:05:59. > :06:02.quit belief that under the rules he does not have an automatic right to
:06:03. > :06:05.stand again as leader. But his supporters have had legal advice
:06:06. > :06:12.that says the opposite thing. It's cut and dry and eventually we will
:06:13. > :06:17.sort this matter out and Jeremy will remain. Most MPs believe his useful
:06:18. > :06:21.team as leader is over, and the rules say he would need the support
:06:22. > :06:26.of more than 50 of them to run again. After dozens of resignations,
:06:27. > :06:32.that's just not likely to happen. So in effect this meeting could kick
:06:33. > :06:35.him out. We have now got up new Prime Minister coming in tomorrow, I
:06:36. > :06:39.think that will concentrate everyone's minds carefully. Does
:06:40. > :06:44.that mean Jeremy Corbyn must go soon? Jeremy Corbyn is the elected
:06:45. > :06:50.Labour Party leader. The build date to the meeting has been frantic. Mr
:06:51. > :06:53.Corbyn's allies even try to shove one MP off the crucial committee in
:06:54. > :06:57.the middle of the night. What happened to you in the middle of the
:06:58. > :07:01.night? I was asleep in the middle of the night. They went in for hours of
:07:02. > :07:06.discussion and one big decision at the party HQ. There is a leadership
:07:07. > :07:10.contest in labour, so should Jeremy Corbyn, the current leader, be able
:07:11. > :07:14.to stand without getting dozens of MPs to nominate him first? This
:07:15. > :07:20.isn't just some strange fuss outside an anonymous London office block on
:07:21. > :07:23.a wet Tuesday afternoon. The NEC is extra Labour MPs, union officials,
:07:24. > :07:28.ordinary party members, and they are roughly split between those who want
:07:29. > :07:32.Jeremy Corbyn to stay and those who want him out. It's nasty. A brick
:07:33. > :07:38.was hurled through the Merseyside office of the MP who wants to be
:07:39. > :07:43.Labour's next leader. Then Angela Eagle had to switch venues on a
:07:44. > :07:48.campaign tour in Luton because of threats. Protesters, one wearing a
:07:49. > :07:54.T-shirt of the Corbyn backing momentum group still tracked her
:07:55. > :07:58.down. Billy Bowden condemned any abuse but Angela Eagle, who wants to
:07:59. > :08:02.replace him so badly, says it's not enough -- the leader condemns any
:08:03. > :08:06.abuse. They are being done in his name and he needs to get control of
:08:07. > :08:09.the people supporting him and make certain this behaviour stops and
:08:10. > :08:15.starts now. It is bullying and has absolutely no place in politics in
:08:16. > :08:19.the UK and it needs to end. But Mr Corbyn does still have the muscle of
:08:20. > :08:23.most of the unions on his side, and it's thought most of the parties
:08:24. > :08:28.still growing membership. An attempt to kind of keep Jeremy off the paper
:08:29. > :08:32.would be seen as a sordid fix. And I'm but be hoping that that doesn't
:08:33. > :08:37.happen. I hope common sense and a bit of decency prevails at the NEC
:08:38. > :08:41.this afternoon. Disquiet about Jeremy Corbyn's leadership spilled
:08:42. > :08:47.out from Labour's backrooms into public view long ago, but the charge
:08:48. > :08:49.against him maybe far from over. I contest, not a departure, is still
:08:50. > :08:54.the most likely end. -- a contest. As we've heard, Angela Eagle's
:08:55. > :08:56.constituency office in Wallasey was attacked overnight when a brick
:08:57. > :08:59.was thrown through the window. Labour supporters there are divided
:09:00. > :09:02.as to whether she should replace Reeta Chakrabarti has spent the day
:09:03. > :09:05.in Wallasey talking to people about the crisis engulfing
:09:06. > :09:07.the Labour Party. A boarded-up window is a common
:09:08. > :09:11.enough sight, but the brick through Angela Eagle's office window
:09:12. > :09:14.is an act of political They include the present police
:09:15. > :09:20.and crime commissioner It is an absolutely disgraceful
:09:21. > :09:31.situation that you cannot take part in a democracy without having this
:09:32. > :09:34.kind of threat, the violence of it. Local party members know the brick
:09:35. > :09:45.isn't an isolated incident. There have been claims
:09:46. > :09:49.of intimidation and bullying, too. Claims they say
:09:50. > :09:52.are wide of the mark. I don't recognise that picture
:09:53. > :09:55.of the Labour Party. I've never seen any intimidation,
:09:56. > :09:57.I've never witnessed any homophobia. It is crazy to say Jeremy Corbyn
:09:58. > :10:05.is this out of touch crazy Both men back Jeremy Corbyn
:10:06. > :10:17.as leader over their own Where's the evidence,
:10:18. > :10:20.they ask that he is unelectable? He's articulating policies that
:10:21. > :10:25.people haven't been talking about for many years,
:10:26. > :10:26.like public ownership of the railways and the energy
:10:27. > :10:28.industry, tackling tax These are all massively
:10:29. > :10:31.popular policies. Nearly 400 people have joined
:10:32. > :10:33.the local Labour Party Signs of healthy
:10:34. > :10:36.participation, say some. Infiltration by extremists,
:10:37. > :10:38.say others. Both these party members think
:10:39. > :10:43.Mr Corbyn should go. Jeremy's position as party leader
:10:44. > :10:46.is completely untenable. I think Angela offers
:10:47. > :10:52.a better alternative. She offers a positive view
:10:53. > :10:55.for what Labour could be and a positive vision
:10:56. > :10:58.for what Britain can be. A brick through her office
:10:59. > :11:00.window and a possible The mood here in Angela Eagle's
:11:01. > :11:07.own constituency is bitter. It reflects the atmosphere in Labour
:11:08. > :11:13.right across the country with deep tensions caused by conflicting views
:11:14. > :11:15.as to what the party Labour's leader, whoever it is,
:11:16. > :11:20.has a major task to reunite it. Reeta Chakrabarti,
:11:21. > :11:24.BBC News, Wallasey. Laura Kuenssberg is
:11:25. > :11:34.live in Westminster. Laura, this meeting of the National
:11:35. > :11:38.executive committee about Jeremy Corbyn's leadership still going on,
:11:39. > :11:43.what's the latest? It is grinding on and it may be some time yet. If
:11:44. > :11:46.you've been following Labour Party politics for a while you learn never
:11:47. > :11:50.to be in a hurry if we are expecting something to be over quickly. But
:11:51. > :11:54.they will conclude something tonight. One of the interesting
:11:55. > :11:57.things about this is that some months ago Jeremy Corbyn's close
:11:58. > :12:00.team thought that this kind of extraordinary intervention might
:12:01. > :12:04.actually happen and they sought legal advice to try to protecting
:12:05. > :12:09.from this. His opponents inside the party on the other hand didn't think
:12:10. > :12:11.that it would come to this. They thought that with resignations, with
:12:12. > :12:15.critics coming out one after the other after the other they would be
:12:16. > :12:20.able to pile so much pressure up on him that he would have to go. But
:12:21. > :12:24.they failed and he is still there, and now we are in a situation where
:12:25. > :12:28.two different sides of one political party are scrapping with each other
:12:29. > :12:35.over what that party's own rule book says. There's even the prospect now
:12:36. > :12:38.tonight if Jeremy Corbyn is told by the National executive committee
:12:39. > :12:44.that he does not have the right automatically to stand again in the
:12:45. > :12:48.leadership contender, that he might instead of withdrawing take them to
:12:49. > :12:51.the courts. So you might have the possibility by the end of this
:12:52. > :12:55.evening where one part of the Labour Party machine is challenging the
:12:56. > :13:00.other part of the Labour Party machine to a legal fight with a
:13:01. > :13:03.judge expected to sort it all out. But whatever the legal machinations,
:13:04. > :13:08.the rights and wrongs of who's right on the narrow point of the party's
:13:09. > :13:13.rule book, the big picture is this: there's been internal upset, rows,
:13:14. > :13:16.ramblings, all sorts of things going on behind the scenes in the Labour
:13:17. > :13:22.Party. Months and months and months of it. And now the two sides are
:13:23. > :13:26.both completely and utterly dug in to their positions. They are now
:13:27. > :13:31.having to try to resort to the law to sort it all out. And in the
:13:32. > :13:35.meantime of course the idea that any MPs in the Labour Party are really
:13:36. > :13:38.being able to push ahead with proper decent scrutiny of what the
:13:39. > :13:42.government is doing is really pretty hard to imagine, that they are not

:17:03. > :17:07.pupils at this primary School have been taught in the Chinese way for

:17:15. > :17:19.maths. I like numbers and calculations to find stuff out. I
:17:20. > :17:24.like algebra because it's like a puzzle. The Chinese say British
:17:25. > :17:29.teaching is a mile long butters and to deep. Too much is crammed in,
:17:30. > :17:34.whereas they focus on fewer topics but make sure pupils understand each
:17:35. > :17:38.concept before moving on. The idea is that because the maths is broken
:17:39. > :17:41.down so clearly, the children who might struggle, they keep up and
:17:42. > :17:45.they understand. Last year the government invited Chinese teachers

:26:33. > :26:37.back. It's not raining everywhere, it's been quite beautiful today in
:26:38. > :26:42.western parts of England and Wales. This shot taken in Cornwall. But as
:26:43. > :26:47.Fiona did hint, it's not been the same for all of us. It's been soggy
:26:48. > :26:53.in the south-east. London has seen some really heavy downpours. Some
:26:54. > :26:59.trees and branches down from the strength of the wind, too.
:27:00. > :27:03.Torrential rain quite now -- right now across parts of East Anglia.
:27:04. > :27:06.Downpours lingering in the south-east but for most other
:27:07. > :27:11.places, relatively quiet. Some showers coming in on the breeze to
:27:12. > :27:16.some western areas. Where the skies are clear overnight it will be cool.
:27:17. > :27:21.In Scotland it could get as low as four or 5 degrees. Around about Dawn
:27:22. > :27:25.some brightness for many of us. Early showery rain across the
:27:26. > :27:29.south-east fading away. Then we'll see some showers coming in on the
:27:30. > :27:34.breeze to northern and western areas. A sharp shower in southern
:27:35. > :27:37.England by the afternoon and in Scotland and Northern Ireland a
:27:38. > :27:45.scattering of showers. Nothing too intense. Not exactly warm, we are
:27:46. > :27:51.struggling on the temperature front. Mid, possibly high teens in places.
:27:52. > :27:57.In western coastal areas of England and Wales, a few sharp showers, and
:27:58. > :28:02.in southern counties of England. But not the destructive downpours we've
:28:03. > :28:07.seen today. Looking further ahead, a ridge of high pressure building in.
:28:08. > :28:12.Ignore this stuff behind me. But that ridge of high pressure will
:28:13. > :28:17.enable a fine day for most of us on Thursday. We've got the open golf
:28:18. > :28:21.starting and the Test match at Lord's. Very few showers, sunshine
:28:22. > :28:24.and light winds. How long it lasts is another matter.
