:00:18. > :00:20.This is an astounding victory for the Conservative Party but also
:00:21. > :00:32.You know Labour have held this seat since the 1930s.

:00:41. > :00:43.it is a message about this country, but above all, above all

:01:33. > :01:34.Premier League managers give their reaction
:01:35. > :01:36.to Claudio Ranieri's sacking. Jose Mourinho said he had been let
:01:37. > :02:01.down by the selfishness of others. The Conservative Party has won
:02:02. > :02:04.a historic by-election in government has taken a seat
:02:05. > :02:11.in a by-election for 35 years, Theresa May said her party had
:02:12. > :02:17.secured an outstanding victory. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn
:02:18. > :02:19.described their defeat But he said he wouldn't
:02:20. > :02:25.be standing down. Labour has held Copeland since 1935
:02:26. > :02:28.but the Conservatives overturned a Labour majority of more than two
:02:29. > :02:32.and a half thousand. In a second by-election
:02:33. > :02:34.in Stoke-on-Trent Central, Labour saw off a concerted challenge
:02:35. > :02:37.from the Ukip leader Paul Nuttall - In a moment, we'll have a full
:02:38. > :02:43.report from Stoke but first our Deputy Political Editor John Pienaar
:02:44. > :02:58.is in Copeland. Well, like the storms yesterday, the
:02:59. > :03:01.campaign circus and the big-name politicians have moved on but
:03:02. > :03:06.yesterday's by-elections have left politics a little clearer than
:03:07. > :03:10.before. Labour held off one big challenge and just may have seen of
:03:11. > :03:14.the threat from Ukip in its heartland but losing here in Cumbria
:03:15. > :03:17.hurt Labour and Jeremy Corbyn badly and tonight, Theresa May and the
:03:18. > :03:24.Conservatives looked like a party which need fear no one. My report
:03:25. > :03:30.contained some flash photography. Sometimes party leaders seem to grow
:03:31. > :03:33.a little after a win. Theresa May 's victory appearance here today told
:03:34. > :03:37.you that she had used the Tories winning Copeland to claim she could
:03:38. > :03:41.reach people and parts of Britain no Tory leader has won Britain's
:03:42. > :03:45.Margaret Thatcher. This truly is a government that is working for
:03:46. > :03:51.everyone and for every part of the country. As for the idea that the
:03:52. > :03:55.Tories could win two B, that the government needs good opposition,
:03:56. > :03:59.try telling them that or her. Does Britain need a stronger opposition
:04:00. > :04:02.to hold you to account over Brexit? The opposition will do what they
:04:03. > :04:07.will do and what I am concerned about is what the Conservative
:04:08. > :04:10.government does. We are working for a country that truly works for
:04:11. > :04:15.everyone not just the privileged few. That is the message that people
:04:16. > :04:20.here have heard. Did you think that Copeland would vote Tory? No. We
:04:21. > :04:24.could dream of it. I have been a councillor for 20 something years
:04:25. > :04:31.and we dreamt one day... Nothing like this has ever happened. The
:04:32. > :04:34.Conservative Party candidate, 13,000, 748.
:04:35. > :04:39.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. It was a big win. The first Win in a by-election
:04:40. > :04:44.by any government over its opposition in 35 years and in a
:04:45. > :04:49.place that has been Labour since 1935. It has been very clear,
:04:50. > :04:55.talking to people throughout this campaign that Jeremy Corbyn does not
:04:56. > :04:59.represent them. And this is Tory territory now, Labour folk do not
:05:00. > :05:03.like it and some feel they no reason why, Copeland depends on Sellafield
:05:04. > :05:07.and Jeremy Corbyn has opposed nuclear power. The nuclear probably
:05:08. > :05:10.had quite a lot to do with it because Jeremy Corbyn said he did
:05:11. > :05:17.not want it and maybe he did do a U-turn on that, but knows. The men
:05:18. > :05:23.have done no good when they have been prime ministers, so maybe a
:05:24. > :05:28.changes everything. No hope for Labour under Jeremy Corbyn? I don't
:05:29. > :05:37.think so. I have to back him because I am a Labour man. I think it is
:05:38. > :05:42.hopeless. Still can't been a safe seat for Labour but Jeremy Corbyn
:05:43. > :05:47.turned up he to celebrate holding out against Ukip. It is a message
:05:48. > :05:52.about the economy, about jobs, about this country but above all, it was a
:05:53. > :06:00.message that hope triumphs over fear. What about Copeland? He had
:06:01. > :06:04.already been dogged by that defeat all day. Our party mentorship is in
:06:05. > :06:07.good heart, it is very large and strong and we will be out again
:06:08. > :06:12.tomorrow and every other day campaigning to get the message
:06:13. > :06:19.across social justice in Britain. Yet the team Ukip in Stoke was a big
:06:20. > :06:24.relief to Labour. And a painful blow to Ukip and it's defeated candidate
:06:25. > :06:27.and leader. This seat was number 72 on our hit list, a lot more will
:06:28. > :06:32.happen, there is a lot more to come from us, we are not going anywhere,
:06:33. > :06:36.I am not going anywhere so therefore, we move on and our time
:06:37. > :06:41.will come. Paul Nuttall may not be on his way out as leader but his
:06:42. > :06:45.campaign wobbled and then failed and the questions being raised when Ukip
:06:46. > :06:50.lost Nigel Farage, did it lose its way? Those are beautiful! Just now
:06:51. > :06:53.Theresa May looks the biggest winner, ruling her party against
:06:54. > :06:59.weakened and divided opponents with an assurance that is almost regal.
:07:00. > :07:04.Well done indeed. I will see you on Monday. Back to business means back
:07:05. > :07:06.to Brexit and there is nothing easy about that. John Pienaar, BBC News,
:07:07. > :07:08.Copeland. As John mentioned, it wasn't just
:07:09. > :07:10.Labour who suffered defeat in yesterday's by-elections,
:07:11. > :07:11.Ukip struggled too. A fact particularly marked in Stoke
:07:12. > :07:14.on Trent, which had voted So, what next for Ukip
:07:15. > :07:17.and their leader Paul Nuttall? Alex Forsyth is in Stoke
:07:18. > :07:31.for us this evening. This should have been prime Ukip
:07:32. > :07:35.territory, almost 70% of the residence of Stoke voted to leave
:07:36. > :07:39.the EU during the referendum, Labour's candidate in this
:07:40. > :07:43.by-election backed Remain but still Ukip came second to him. They did
:07:44. > :07:47.improve on their performance in the General Election but the party fell
:07:48. > :07:54.far short of the significant breakthrough it had hoped for. The
:07:55. > :07:57.morning after a hard-fought campaign brought dawning realisation for a
:07:58. > :08:03.Ukip that they had been rejected by voters. The party had hoped for a
:08:04. > :08:08.big win. In Stoke more than two thirds of people voted to leave the
:08:09. > :08:13.EU but even where Brexit proved so popular, Ukip suffered defeat.
:08:14. > :08:18.People may have voted Brexit but it does not mean it Ukip. No, it does
:08:19. > :08:23.not and that is what Ukip is all about, Brexit. They have got no
:08:24. > :08:29.policies whatsoever whereas Labour had. Stoke has long been a Labour
:08:30. > :08:32.stronghold, a collection of West Midlands towns with a rich
:08:33. > :08:36.industrial heritage. A prime target for the Ukip leader who is keen to
:08:37. > :08:41.prove that the party can win over working people. But Paul Nuttall had
:08:42. > :08:46.a tough campaign, forced to quell claims he had lost close friends at
:08:47. > :08:50.Hillsborough. Senior figures say that did play a part but insist he
:08:51. > :08:56.is still the right man to lead Ukip. Was this a Ukip failure or a Paul
:08:57. > :08:59.Nuttall failure? This is a party failure. It is a party failure.
:09:00. > :09:06.Winning by-elections like this takes time and people have to get used to
:09:07. > :09:10.you as a party. You have been around for years! Yes, focused on one
:09:11. > :09:12.single issue, getting Britain out of the European union and we are now
:09:13. > :09:17.evolving into something bigger and we need to get that across to the
:09:18. > :09:20.electorate. This was a significant defeat, instead of proving it can
:09:21. > :09:22.win over disillusioned Labour voters, it is less struggling to
:09:23. > :09:45.explain what it stands for beyond Brexit. Its former leaders
:09:46. > :09:48.said the campaign failed to cut through on key issues. There is a
:09:49. > :09:51.debate in Ukip as to how strong we should be on the immigration issue.
:09:52. > :09:53.I feel we should own it. We will have to look at that and think.
:09:54. > :09:56.Worry tough enough and clear enough. In Stoke, local Ukip members admit
:09:57. > :09:58.that the party has to broaden its appeal, particularly given that the
:09:59. > :10:00.Conservatives in government have promised to deliver Brexit. There is
:10:01. > :10:02.no point in trying to dress up as reasonable what was a defeat.
:10:03. > :10:07.Compared with expectations. We need to press on. Our number one target
:10:08. > :10:10.was to get the UK out of the European union, that is what we
:10:11. > :10:14.campaign for, but that was only the first call, we have to move on and
:10:15. > :10:19.get our message across to people on issues other than the European
:10:20. > :10:23.Union. Having failed to do that here in Stoke, Ukip is once again
:10:24. > :10:26.searching for direction. Alex Forsyth, BBC News, Stoke-on-Trent.
:10:27. > :10:28.Our Deputy Political Editor John Pienaar is in Copeland this evening.
:10:29. > :10:38.Where do today's by-election results leave the main parties?
:10:39. > :10:44.Comparisons between Theresa May and Margaret Thatcher are very easily
:10:45. > :10:50.made and very easily overblown but there are some comparisons to be
:10:51. > :10:53.made. The ambition to reach out to blue-collar workers and voters and
:10:54. > :10:56.winning in Copeland backed up by some very rosy opinion polls of late
:10:57. > :11:02.will encourage some Conservatives to believe that that high ambition may
:11:03. > :11:06.not be unattainable. For Labour, for Jeremy Corbyn and those around him,
:11:07. > :11:11.there will be relieved that they have seen of this potentially
:11:12. > :11:15.existential threat from Ukip, but that is a long way from becoming a
:11:16. > :11:20.potential party of government. Now, that is a lot to do right there.
:11:21. > :11:25.Those who are opposed to Jeremy Corbyn in his party believes there
:11:26. > :11:29.is no hope while he is leader and they see the party, even though they
:11:30. > :11:36.may hang on to strongholds in the north and in the Midlands and
:11:37. > :11:39.elsewhere, carrying on, simply too weak to die and quite unable to win
:11:40. > :11:46.an election. In other words carrying on in a sort of twilight zone, in a

:16:33. > :16:38.At least there is still some loyalty here in Leicester. Claudio Ranieri
:16:39. > :16:42.remained in demand today as both he and the city came to terms with his
:16:43. > :16:50.dismissal. The miracle worker out of work. I am very sad for them. I wish
:16:51. > :17:00.them all the best. Emotions among the neighbours were high. It is a
:17:01. > :17:04.disgrace. Claudio Ranieri! Having masterminded the least likely and
:17:05. > :17:08.most popular triumph ever seen in the Premier League, the Italian has
:17:09. > :17:11.become the victim of his most controversial sacking. Nine months
:17:12. > :17:19.ago, Ranieri was the toast of Leicester. Cheers! The phase has
:17:20. > :17:23.long gone. Today's press conference flat and the man who stood alongside
:17:24. > :17:28.Ranieri in the dugout, left to describe his mood. A bit shocked as
:17:29. > :17:36.we all were but his tone was no different. Very level-headed
:17:37. > :17:41.interns, that is football. Can you say he hadn't lost some parts of the
:17:42. > :17:44.dressing room? It is pure speculation, there was a lot of
:17:45. > :17:49.frustration because of results but he had lost the dressing room. The
:17:50. > :17:52.ruthlessness of the dismissal have shocked those who have spent a
:17:53. > :18:02.lifetime in the game. Former Leicester star Gary Lineker paid a
:18:03. > :18:07.very public ... Doubting his success and he is angry. To toss that all
:18:08. > :18:12.away on a premature decision and a disloyal and in many ways, a lack of
:18:13. > :18:18.gratitude, is quite gobsmacking. I am not ashamed to say that last
:18:19. > :18:23.night when I heard the news, I shed a tear for Claudio Ranieri, for
:18:24. > :18:27.football and my club. Ranieri's barely believable triumph won
:18:28. > :18:30.admirers across the world but since then, the euphoria has evaporated
:18:31. > :18:35.and the champions are languishing one point from the relegation zone.
:18:36. > :18:38.The owners said their club was in crisis and with survival on the
:18:39. > :18:45.line, decided to act. The fans are divided. 50% of the fans wanted him
:18:46. > :18:51.sacked because of the results but I would have kept him. Disgusting,
:18:52. > :18:56.after what he did last year. There were former rivals talking also.
:18:57. > :19:01.This decision I think has everyone in football united. Because it is
:19:02. > :19:08.something very difficult to accept, but at the same time, it is good for
:19:09. > :19:12.all of us to realise how football is. It wasn't long ago Ranieri
:19:13. > :19:15.helped bring this city to a standstill and many wanted him to
:19:16. > :19:22.stay forever. The journey has ended faster than anyone imagined. Tonight
:19:23. > :19:28.in a statement, Claudio Ranieri said his dream had died. Leicester City
:19:29. > :19:32.have to look forward, just 13 games left in order to salvage their
:19:33. > :19:36.Premier League status. Even if they manage to do it, one sense is that
:19:37. > :19:39.this sacking will forever be seen as a symbol of something rather
:19:40. > :19:42.unsavoury in the modern game and his departure from the world of sport
:19:43. > :19:51.will be seen as having lost something.

:21:41. > :21:42.My view is always talk to our people first, whether affected,
:21:43. > :21:45.and there will be job cuts in this organisation.
:21:46. > :21:49.There has to be given that over the next four years it will take
:21:50. > :21:52.?2 billion of cost out of this organisation to reshape it,
:21:53. > :21:57.But that is not going to happen quite yet.
:21:58. > :22:00.It is not over yet, there is a really big fine
:22:01. > :22:06.There is going to be more job losses but that will be coming
:22:07. > :22:08.across the banking industry as digitalisation takes place.
:22:09. > :22:11.But it is hiding a pretty decent performance from
:22:12. > :22:13.the high street bank. But unfortunately, it is going
:22:14. > :22:15.to take some time before that really shines through.
:22:16. > :22:18.I stood right here in 2008, I did not expect to still be
:22:19. > :22:21.here in 2017 reporting on yet another multi-billion pound loss.
:22:22. > :22:25.It was not supposed to take this long to fix and the fact that it has
:22:26. > :22:30.shows that no one really knew just how big a mess the world's
:22:31. > :22:34.biggest bank at the time had got itself into.
:22:35. > :22:37.In 2008, the government of today announced an emergency

:22:46. > :22:48.With the benefit of hindsight, it should have been fully nationalised,
:22:49. > :22:52.then broken up and used in the national interest.
:22:53. > :22:55.But the taxpayer is now stuck with the losses and it will be some

:23:46. > :23:49.I think might be one of the most interesting in modern times. Not
:23:50. > :23:53.just because of the films but because of the speeches. In these
:23:54. > :23:57.uncertain times across the world, particularly in America, what will
:23:58. > :24:06.winners choose to say on this most public of stages about the world in
:24:07. > :24:09.which their films reflect? In the past, in troubled times, there have
:24:10. > :24:13.been some really good speeches and some real howlers. I have been
:24:14. > :24:19.finding out what it takes to make a really great winners Oscars speech.
:24:20. > :24:26.Once upon a time, going up to collect your Oscar
:24:27. > :24:33.You shook a hand, smiled politely and maybe offered a brief remark.
:24:34. > :24:39.Thank you with all my heart. Marlon Brando for the Godfather.
:24:40. > :24:42.But then Marlon Brando upped the speech-making game in 1973,
:24:43. > :24:47.And asking a Native American to explain why.
:24:48. > :24:57.He very regretfully cannot accept this very generous award. And the
:24:58. > :25:01.reasons for this being, the treatment of American Indian is
:25:02. > :25:04.today, by the film industry. Excuse me.
:25:05. > :25:11.this could be a vintage year for memorable Oscar speeches.
:25:12. > :25:13.If those making them follow the rules.
:25:14. > :25:16.First of all, you have to start with the hallmarks of what makes
:25:17. > :25:22.So you have to speak with authenticity, you have
:25:23. > :25:25.to speak from the heart, you have to connect to the material
:25:26. > :25:35.I sincerely hope I will always be a credit to my race and to the motion
:25:36. > :25:38.picture industry. My heart is too full to tell you just how I feel and
:25:39. > :25:41.may I say thank you and God bless. to pick up one of these on Sunday
:25:42. > :25:46.night - except theirs won't be made out of chocolate -
:25:47. > :25:49.is being told to keep their speech down to 45 seconds.
:25:50. > :25:51.It is, though, a live show, so theoretically,
:25:52. > :25:53.they could bang on forever. Except the organisers
:25:54. > :25:56.have a humiliating weapon they can deploy, which is to ask the band
:25:57. > :25:58.to strike up and drown It is an awful feeling
:25:59. > :26:06.because I don't make that The director will say
:26:07. > :26:14.to me, OK, get him off. Your time is up, thank you very
:26:15. > :26:18.much! A classic example of how not to do
:26:19. > :26:21.it and that would be Michael Moore's example when he received
:26:22. > :26:23.the Best Documentary award for Bowling for Columbine.
:26:24. > :26:26.There was a great amount of negativity about George Bush
:26:27. > :26:28.who was the President at the time. His attack, though, was so personal
:26:29. > :26:31.and so clearly biased that he was almost booed off
:26:32. > :26:33.the stage, even though nothing This year, the Academy has
:26:34. > :26:37.asked winners to deliver a heartfelt memorable message.
:26:38. > :26:40.That or possibly face the indignity of hearing
:26:41. > :26:49.the dreaded wrap it up music. Time for a look at the weather.
:26:50. > :27:07.Here's Tomasz Schafernaker. Let's talk with a spectacular blue
:27:08. > :27:11.sky. This is from Cornwall today. The weekend, different story, it
:27:12. > :27:16.will probably look a little like the sky behind me. Wind and rain on the
:27:17. > :27:20.way but nothing like what we had yesterday. Looking pretty mixed this
:27:21. > :27:25.weekend. This is the sunshine and fine weather from early on but now,
:27:26. > :27:31.the clouds invading parts of the UK. Some rain has already moved through
:27:32. > :27:35.and it is pretty downhill as far as the weekend is concerned. Don't
:27:36. > :27:39.expect any blue skies through Saturday or Sunday. Rain splashing
:27:40. > :27:43.through and by the end of the night, dribs and drabs of rain anywhere and
:27:44. > :27:50.with that mild south westerly wind, so one good aspect. The rain coming
:27:51. > :27:54.through and one area I want to point out through this weekend is actually
:27:55. > :27:59.north-western areas of the UK. There will be rain in other parts of the
:28:00. > :28:03.country on and off and the further south and south east you are, the
:28:04. > :28:07.light it will be, but it is around this area, we will see bouts of rain
:28:08. > :28:17.waxing and waning through the weekend. There could be a little bit
:28:18. > :28:24.of flooding. By the end of Saturday, we could have a little bit of
:28:25. > :28:28.brightness across Scotland and Northern Ireland. And this is
:28:29. > :28:32.Saturday, it will be windy around the coast at times. Sunday will get
:28:33. > :28:38.very windy around these western approaches around the coasts of
:28:39. > :28:40.Wales. Slightly better, the south-east, so a bit of sunshine. A
:28:41. > :28:47.better weekend but not ideal. That's all from the BBC News at Six
:28:48. > :28:50.- so it's goodbye from me -
