The leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, says there'll be | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
a new investigation into the former Mayor, Ken Livingstone, | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
over his comments he has repeated about Hitler and Zionism. | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
Last night, he was suspended from the party for another year. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Tonight, on this programme, Mr Livingstone said he had been | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
grossly misrepresented and accused some Labour MP's of "tweeting lies." | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
The moment Ken Livingstone linked Hitler with Zionism | :00:33. | :00:43. | |
Remember when Hitler won his election in 1932 his policy | :00:44. | :00:52. | |
then was that Jews should be moved to Israel, he was supporting | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
He was later suspended from the Labour Party | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
Yesterday, an internal Labour Party hearing concluded he had broken | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
party rules and was suspended for another year. | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
A decision that didn't go far enough for this Labour MP for Hampstead | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
and Kilburn who represents more than 8,000 Jewish people. | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
Ken Livingstone has repeatedly been insulting the Jewish | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
community for years now, it's time that he was | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
There's outrage, there's bitter disappointment. | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
There's a lot of anger about why he hasn't been expelled already. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
Last night, Ken Livingstone was unapologetic. | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
Do you accept you had poor judgment over the way | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
No, if anyone's upset by what I said of course I am sorry but... | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
I am not going to apologise for something I didn't say. | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
And his supporters took to Twitter to defend him, | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
Along with his critics, who called for him to be expelled. | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
And one woman ripping up her Labour membership card. | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
The Labour leader spoke out today saying there would be | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
a new investigation into subsequent comments made by Ken Livingstone. | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
I am sending a message to everyone that we do not tolerate | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
anti-Semitism in any form in the party and Ken Livingstone's | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
remarks have caused offence to people and I think he should | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
I also think it would be better if he said no | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
At the Jewish cultural centre JW3 party members said | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
Unfortunately, we have seen some Jewish Labour Party members resign | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
We have also seen lots of Jewish and non-Jewish supporters | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
of the Jewish community join the Jewish Labour movement. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
As one disciplinary ends, another begins. | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
Well, Tolu Adayoye has spoken to the former Mayor Ken Livingstone | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
and asked him what he made of the new investigation. | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
Well, basically people just have to go on to the Jewish news website | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
from last week where it's got this headline that to expel me | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
for comments about the Holocaust would be a mistake. | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
It then goes on to explain that what I said was true, | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
that I had been misquoted by a lot of quite unpleasant Labour | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
MPs claiming I said Hitler was a Zionist. | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
There were mistakes on the Jewish Chronicle website | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
saying not just that I had said Hitler was a Zionist but that I had | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
Well, this 11-month investigation by the Labour bureaucracy hasn't | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
found a single shred of evidence to support any of those claims. | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
And the reason I wasn't expelled yesterday was because I am sure | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
the barrister working for the Labour Party | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
would have warned them, look, if you expel Ken Livingstone | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
he will go for judicial review and a judge is going to not allow | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
someone to be disciplined for stating historical truth. | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
Do you accept that what you said did deeply offend some people? | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
In the last 11 months two or three Jewish people have come up to say | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
why did you say Hitler was a Zionist? | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
But almost all the people who come up to me who are Jewish have been | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
saying we know what you said is true, don't these | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
This doesn't look good for the Labour Party, does it? | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Do you accept that you have compromised them in some way here? | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
Well, I came into politics to tell the truth. | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
I was never trained to be evasive or duplicitous | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
I get invited to do lots of interviews because I | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
I can't see any reason for being in politics | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
In the wake of the new investigation what action do you plan to take now? | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
Well, I wasn't going to make any decision about whether or not | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
to challenge my suspension until after the local | :04:29. | :04:29. | |
I think it's already damaging to the Labour Party all this | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
But if there's to be another inquiry there's no point doing that, | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
They'll find the same advice from the lawyers, that, you know, | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
you can't discipline someone for stating the truth, | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
particularly when you are ignoring all those Labour MPs who have | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
As you've been hearing today, the capital came together and stood | :04:50. | :04:58. | |
together, just as it did two weeks ago, when the horrific events | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
A special service of hope and remembrance was held | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
We can join Tarah Welsh, who's outside the Abbey this evening. | :05:05. | :05:16. | |
Today people from across the world attended this service today. They | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
were friends and families of the victims, they were men and women | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
from our emergency services that helped people that day. That day two | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
weeks ago had such a huge impact on so many people that the Dean of | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
Westminster told us he had to think very carefully before the service. I | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
think we had to focus on the actual experience and I did refer to that | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
in the sermon. I know that some people, I talked about weeping, we | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
weep with those who weep. There were some people who went inevitably. So, | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
you take it seriously, really seriously and you Ponder the moment. | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
I think that people find that in a way cathartic. Obviously, it's a | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
long process as everyone knows, a bereavement is a long process. When | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
it's so sudden and unexpected and shocking like that, although there | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
may be some sense of pride, especially in relation to the police | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
constable, nevertheless, it's a difficult process. One person who | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
witnessed his friends being injured in the attack told us he hopes today | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
helps with the healing process. It was a horrible situation because we | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
didn't know what was happening, we were separated from half our group. | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
He was injured on the bridge, we saw the photos journalists had been | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
posting of people, Travis I think sustained a broken wrist, and a | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
broken rib and broken leg. Owen had a head injury. Today was a service | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
of hope and we were told Londoners from all faiths came together to | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
grieve but this is still very raw, still only two weeks on, still | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
people in hospital and this is a day that many Londoners will never | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
forget. Thank you. | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
It was from Alexandra Palace's mast that the first | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
ever British Television programme was broadcast. | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
But today, questions have been raised as to why a planned TV | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
heritage museum isn't currently going ahead. | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
That's despite a ?27 million publicly funded restoration. | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
The restoration work is in full flow. | :07:24. | :07:32. | |
By next autumn, this theatre will be open, | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
the original features brought back to glory and the possibilities | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
endless at what the Victorians called, the People's Palace. | :07:44. | :07:56. | |
This part of the ?27 million project will happen | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
at Alexandra Palace on time and on budget. | :07:59. | :08:00. | |

# A mighty maze of mystic magic rays...# . | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
When Adele Dixon sang of the magic mystic rays of television in 1936, | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
Ally Pally took its place in history as the location of the world's first | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
As part of the redevelopment we were promised a visitor | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
attraction with everything from historic kit, to a chance | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
to be a newsreader, but there's no more money left, | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
If something can't finish, I don't understand, surely it hasn't | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
been cleverly planned out then, has it? | :08:25. | :08:25. | |
I suppose, I would have thought, if one's restoring Ally Pally | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
to what it used to be, its former glory, then that | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
part of the plan should definitely go-ahead. | :08:32. | :08:32. | |
I was actually trying to raise money for them up here. | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
So I have to be up with my bucket again. | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
Television and Ally Pally are inseparable, their shared | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
history is literally written on the walls here. | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
So why is such a key part of the ?27 million | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
We're working with a complex historical building, | :08:46. | :08:57. | |
against a fixed budget and prices have changed. | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
We found things that we didn't expect to find, | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
So we're making the right decision, at the right time. | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
What they found was problems you'd encounter with any | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
restoration project, plus a post-Brexit hike in the price | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
of some materials and a shortage of the right people for the job. | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
It's very easy if you were in today's modern society, | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
if you want to replace a window, you'd probably put | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
I think with the scale of the windows here, | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
is you're trying to find, you know, joiners who understand | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
Victorian joinery and how wood was joined together, | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
but trying to find them in today's environment is extremely difficult. | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
The redevelopment team says they chose the theatre over | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
the television project because it was closer to completion, | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
but they promised that Alexandra Palace will see | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
So while they build what they can now, the battle to raise | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
That's it from me. I will hand you over to Stav with a look at the | :09:46. | :10:00. | |
weather. I hear a warm weekend to come? That's right, maybe touches 22 | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
degrees on Sunday. It's been a chilly day today. We had sunshine | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
around but we will see the clouds building up through the overnight | :10:09. | :10:09. | |
period. For most a blanket of cloud by dawn. | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
Temperatures nine in London but cooler than that where skies clear. | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
This picture might be optimistic for the morning but generally speaking | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
it's going to be cloudy with sunny spells breaking through during the | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
afternoon. I am hopeful we should see more sunny spells, if we do we | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
will see temperatures reaching 15, maybe 16. The winds remain light. | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
That's because we have high pressure in control so benign weather even | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
into Friday but as we head to the weekend this is where we will see | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
temperatures rise as we pick up more of a southerly wind off the | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
continent. Friday, a cloudy start, we should see holes breaking in the | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
cloud, pushing temperatures up to 14 or 15. It is sunny towards the | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
weekend and we could see the low 20s by | :11:00. | :11:00. | |
weekend and we could see the low 20s by Sunday. Here is Darren with the | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
national | :11:03. | :11:04. |
