Cheering applause in this stage in the Election Campaign which is now over i dont think i will take any questions but i will talk briefly to the media. Thank you all very much, everybody. Borisjohnson there in sedgefield in the north east. Tony blairs former constituency. The ultimate political humiliation some might say to the labour party as borisjohnson repeats those messages that we saw outside downing street yesterday. Unite and level up being one of the key mantras there and talking about health care, education and police, all the factors we have seen him say in the election trail. We are still joined by tony blairs former political secretary. What did you make of that . It is masterful in a way to be able to say we are here and we have taken the north east . You can see the confidence that a massive majority has given him. It is his country and it will be his agenda. Unite, level up. Powerful m essa 9 es agenda. Unite, level up. Powerful messages because we are a divided country and we do need to be united. And levelling up is a bold attempt to seize from labour the idea of equality. If he does that for the people of durham they may well stay voting for him. The lesson for labour is if you reject the policies of tony blair then you lose the seat of tony blair then you lose the seat of tony blair then you lose the seat of tony blair. Tony blair would have been happy with unite and level up as well. Not sure that is what Jeremy Corbyn could ever have said is because he is more divide and confiscate kind of guy. Dominic cummings is from county durham, isnt he . He would know what people there would want. But many people lending their votes to the tories. How do labour get it back . This language of lending your vote is a dangerous one. Voters choose. They are adults. The fact that labour has a lwa ys are adults. The fact that labour has always assumed we would get the vote for people in certain areas is a weakness. We went through that in the 1980s and we lost hold large parts of london in the 1980s with that kind of politics. We won london backin that kind of politics. We won london back in the south east back by talking to people what they wanted and giving them what they wanted rather than telling them what they should have. Thank you very much indeed for staying with us. So how did borisjohnsons 80 seat majority happen . Scroll through our interactive map and witness the gains and losses that made for a momentous election night. Of course an utterly miserable night for the lib dems and labour. You can visit bbc. Co. Uk news or the bbc news app. We have much more from westminster but lets have a break from that now and go to the sports centre. It is top versus bottom at anfield as liverpool welcome watford for Nigel Pearsons first game in charge of the hornets. Very early days at anfield. Just four minutes into not much happening just yet. It is goalless. Liverpool are eight points clear at the top of the table above leicester who are in action later. The reds will be feeling pretty buoyant after managerjuergen klopp signed a new contract extension yesterday which will keep him at the new club at the club until 202a. I think the club is in a good place and we have the chance still to develop. A lot of things, a lot of exciting things, coming up, obviously, with the new academy, with maybe a new stand and stuff like this, so its still a lot to come and, yeah, but there will be cloudy days as well and you have to be there, and make decisions and, yeah, i really feel very responsible for all the things here. And you might call this a coincidence, but liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has also signed a contract extension as rangers manager. Thatll keep him in charge until, you guessed it, 2024 the same year as klopp. Maybe a bit of succession planning there . Gerrard had originally signed a four year deal when he was appointed in 2018. Rangers have qualified for the Europa League knockout stages. In golf, patrick reeds caddie has been thrown out of the president s cup in melbourne after he shoved a fan who verbally abused his player. It happened when reed suffered his third defeat against the International Team. Kassler karain, who is also reeds brother in law, had defended his actions. Chris mitchell reports. This isnt the kind of drama that the pga would have wanted on day three of the president s cup but it is the kind of drama a lot of us saw coming. I have been amongst the crowds at the royal melbourne golf clu b crowds at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club this weekend and they are pretty boisterous. Their focal point is patrick reed. Everywhere he goes he is followed by chance of cheat. It can be worse than that and a little bit crass and im sure that isa little bit crass and im sure that is a little bit irritating for him. Sometimes the spectators have had one or two beers, shall we say. So we did see this coming that it is no surprise that finally it has boiled over. Today as he was walking off reid and his caddie were working off, apparently the fan got very close to him and was abusive to him. His caddie thought that he better step in and he did and the physical altercation reportedly took place where the spectator may or may not have been shoved and spilled his beer. This has been caught on peoples phones and there is some video doing the rounds right now. Pga have investigated and have told patrick reeds caddie that he can ta ke patrick reeds caddie that he can take no further part in president s cup. He will not caddie for him in the sunday singles. It is a drama. I dont think it was a serious one. We all saw it coming. But it gives you an idea of the pressure and the boiling pot that is out there on the Royal Melbourne Golf Club. It is interesting to note that is the story making News Headlines here in australia. Ive seen it in several news bulletins already so it is doing the rounds and the pga would prefer us to be talking about what an exciting contest it is, i think. The International Team is leading 108 the International Team is leading 10 8 going into the final day. But were still about patrick reed Chris Mitchell there.

The Prime Minister is visiting the north east of england , where a surge of conservative support in traditional labour heartlands helped him storm to victory. Borisjohnson has promised to repay the trust of people who voted for the tories for the first time. Our country has now embarked on a wonderful adventure. We are going to recover our National Self confidence, our self belief. We were going to do things differently and better as a country because we can. We will have some fantastic opportunities. We will look at freeport, free trade, better regulation. Doing all sorts of things differently but better and it will be a wonderful time for our country, i hope. Our country will stand tall in the world. I want to say to all of my collea g u es world. I want to say to all of my colleagues as mps that when we get down to westminster we begin, remember we are not the masters, we are the servants now. Ourjob is to serve the people of this country and to deliver on our priorities. Our priorities in their priorities are the same. It is about delivering on our National Health service, education, safer streets, better hospitals and a Better Future for our country. That is what we are going to deliver and focus on. Thank you for your time thank you for coming along this morning. Thank you for your wonderful achievement in transforming our party and transforming our party and transforming the political map of this country and i think putting britain on a brighter, better path. The Prime Minister speaking in sedgefield in the last 20 minutes. The labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, says he wont quit until a successor is chosen which is likely to be early next year. Shadow cabinet minister Emily Thornberry is being tipped for the role, but today said more time is needed before decisions are made. I dont have anything to say. I have to get to my surgery this morning and im already late. There is an awful lot of work to do in the next five years seeing as we have this awful tory governments coming. My surgery is going to be very full for the next five years. I feel a surgery is going to be very full for the next five years. Ifeel a period of mourning. We need a chance to stop and think. I have nothing else to say. Emily thornberry giving her reflections there. Rail passengers are being urged to check their train times before they travel from tomorrow, as a new winter timetable comes into effect. The plan is forjourney times to be cut, services increased and new routes added across the country, after infrastructure and carriage investment. Our business correspondent, katie prescott, has more. This is the nightmare scenario, when train timetables were changed in may last year, chaos ensued. Standing room only as passengers faced cancellations, delays and overcrowding. But if these timetable changes are a success, some parts of the uk will get faster and more frequent services. We get, quite rightly, complaints from passengers, saying the trains are packed, we need to have more services so we can find a seat. This is what were trying to do and this is our opportunity to do it, in the timetable changes. There are two every year, to get ready for the season. One to get ready for the summer and one to get ready for winter and this is where we put on those extra services. Sunday will see the biggest timetable change on the Great Western Railway Network since the 1970s. The electrification of the line between london and bristol will shave 12 minutes off the quickest trains. The maesteg and conwy lines in wales will get sunday services for the first time. And there will be major improvements on the scott rail network, with Additional Trains in north east scotland as well as extra seats between edinburgh and glasgow. Passengers are advised to check before they travel as many train times are changing from tomorrow. Katie prescott, bbc news. Divers are continuing to search the waters near white island volcano in new zealand in efforts to retrieve two remaining bodies. Fourteen deaths have been confirmed from mondays eruption. Around 20 people remain in intensive care with severe burns. 0ur correspondent, phil mercer explained how the search for the final two bodies is progressing. Police divers and their colleagues from the navy have been in the contaminated waters off white island and those seas have been contaminated by that volcanic eruption on monday. So ash, chemicals in the water and when the divers have to come out of the water, they must be decontaminated. Visibility is not good in the water. What theyre looking for is a body. A body was seen in the sea, 2a hours after the eruption. So, the authorities believe that there are two more victims that they need to retrieve. One of them is believed to be in the water. The other is still thought to be on the island. There will be no attempt to go back into land on the island today, so the authorities are concentrating their efforts on the seas, looking for one of those last known victims. North korean state media say the country has conducted another test at a satellite launch site to bolster its Strategic Nuclear deterrence. The state news agency said it was a succesful test of great significance, without giving further details about was being tested. The unspecified test took place at the sohae satellite launching ground. Ankit panda is the author of the book kimjong un and the bomb he explained the background to the test. The significant thing here is that this test is the second to take place at this very facility in a matter of days. They conducted another test that they called a very important test on december 7th. If we take the two of them together, i think we can surmise that this likely had a similar purpose. It probably involved the test on the ground of a rocket engine which might find use on a satellite launcher or it might find use on a ballistic missile. Given the tone of their statements, however, i would expect it to be the latter in this case. pres parts of australia are bracing for an extreme heatwave which could break records dating back to the 1960s. The weather is causing headaches for firefighters. Who are now dealing with a bushfire emergency in Western Australia. Freya cole has more. Western australia is known for its pristine beaches butjust two weeks into some parts of been inundated by fire and thick smoke. Strong wind feels the flames that are proving difficult for firefighters to get under control. Just a short distance separates the front line of the blaze and dozens of homes. In scorching heat some residents are forced to do what they can while firefighters use heavy machinery to build a natural barrier. One of the challenges for this fire is to com plete challenges for this fire is to complete a mineral earth break using machinery and to work against it. We havent achieved that yet because it isa havent achieved that yet because it is a fast moving fire and hot conditions fanned by strong winds. The temperatures are between 12 and i6 the temperatures are between 12 and 16 degrees above average for this time of year. It is about to get worse. We have seen extraordinary temperatures over Western Australia over the last few days. That will continue over the weekend. As we head towards next week that heat will extend further to the east. This map shows the extent of next weeks heatwave. Vast areas of the entire country are set to feel extreme heat. Is the potentialwe could see some records broken. We are monitoring that closely.

The Prime Minister tells supporters in tony blairs old constituency in north east england that they have changed the Political Landscape and the country. Journey times are being cut, more services and new routes added as part of major timetable changes on britains railways. The search for two remaining bodies resumes, following the volcanic eruption in new zealand. Its one of the biggest nights in the showbiz calendar yes the strictly come dancing final is on tonight, and promises lots of glitter and special performances. After 13 weeks, tonight will see celebrities and their partners dance for the last time in an attempt to win the glitterball trophy. Ahead of tonights final, lizo mzimba has been speaking to the remaining three couples after 13 weeks, three couples are left, all hoping to be crowned strictly champions. Each pair will have three routines their favourite dance from the series, a judges pick, and a show dance. So, how are they feeling ahead of tonight . Ecstatic. Overwhelmed. Honoured. Kelvin and 0tis pick will be their rumba. Kelvin, of course, was a late entry after another contestant dropped out because of injury. It feels, you know, as crazy as it sounds, really. I dont think you could have written that scenario. I wasnt in the original line up, like you say, and to be here, 12, 13 weeks later, going into the final, is, um. Yeah, its been incredible. And for their favourite dance, theyve chosen their samba. The judges have decided their pick for emma and anton will be their charleston. Emma says shes happy to still be in the contest, after a less than successful rumba in week seven. Its unbelievable, because i thought after rumba week that we were definitely going home, because we were bottom of the leaderboard. So its absolutely. Itsa dream. Im the biggest stritcly come dancing fan, and to actually say that ive made the final, i actually still cant believe it. And for their favourite dance, theyve gone for their viennese waltz. Karim and amysjudges pick will be their quickstep. Karim says theyve just been taking things one week at a time. Yeah, i mean, its very, very exciting. We had no expectations. We just go out every weekend to try and enjoy ourselves and put on the best performance as possible and now to think that were in the finals, not only humbling but also a little bit surreal. Itsjust crazy, isnt it . And for their favourite dance, theyve chosen theirjive. The result will be chosen purely by public vote, so its everyone watching who will decide who finally gets to lift the glitter ball trophy. Lizo mzimba, bbc news. As the election dust settles, julia belle from the bbcs this matters team has been looking at the long term ramifications for uk politics right. That was a big one. Good morning, everybody. We did it. We pulled it off, didnt we . Johnson has the biggest conservative majority since 1987. It will affect all of us so stick with us and we will tell you how. 0k. Before we get into the details the first thing we need to know is this election really has changed everything. Dontjust think of this as borisjohnsons big day. Think of this as day zero for british politics. Uk voting has a lwa ys british politics. Uk voting has always been about tribes, especially in certain parts of the country. It isa in certain parts of the country. It is a cliche but Northern Industrial towns dont tend to vote conservative. It even had a name, the red wall. Last night that came crashing down. Seat after seat changed hands. Take blyth valley, it had never voted conservative in its history. I would like to thank boris. Im going to be on that train oii boris. Im going to be on that train on monday. Im going to london. We are going to get brexit done. An nhs worker in a Northern Mining town thanking a tory leader, it is unbelievable. 0ur report has been finding out why people jumped to conservatives. Some people here are flabbergasted this morning but lots of people say it is what they wanted. They are blaming brexit, this is a 63 lever voting seat and they say they didnt want to see Jeremy Corbyn as Prime Minister. People are letting go of political baggage. They are forgetting stuff like Margaret Thatcher and the miners strike. The changes who the conservatives are. The new people they represent a more northern and working class. It could bring clashes with other members of the party. The Prime Minister is going to have to try and keep everyone happy. You may not think of yourself asa happy. You may not think of yourself as a natural tory. I will work night and day and flat out improving you right on to earn your support in the future. For some seats brexit is the only seat that they have in common. 0nce only seat that they have in common. Once that is dealt with, what happens . Anyway, hopefully he wont be making any more film cameos either. Note to all politicians, please leave christmas alone. What this means now is brexit is full stea m this means now is brexit is full steam ahead. We are almost certain to leave the eu at the end of january. It does look as though this one nation conservative government has been given a powerful new mandate. To get brexit done. That means the fun is onlyjust starting because the conservatives need to negotiate a trade deal with the eu. We might have a deal to leave but in terms of the future trading relationship nobody knows what that will look like. Weirdly, Boris Johnson is always threatened and no deal with a bigger majority actually gives him flexibility. He now has enough votes to annoy hardliners if he prefers a softer deal or he could go for the hardest of brexit. Either way, he now has the majority to do what he wants. The other thing is that brexit just what he wants. The other thing is that brexitjust got real. Weve heard all the interpretations and the Solutions Offered but now we are going to find out who is right. Just look at Northern Ireland. Their Withdrawal Agreement effectively creates a commercial border in the irish sea. So goods coming from the re st of irish sea. So goods coming from the rest of the uk to the Northern Ireland face the prospect of customs checks. Its going the other way face the prospect of only as paperwork. Unionists are worried that this will separates Northern Ireland politically from the rest of the united kingdom. The other big winners last night where the snp. They now almost totally control scotland. That is another huge change in our politics. This could bea change in our politics. This could be a big step towards scottish independence. That independence referendum which was very much at the heart of the snps campaign and isa the heart of the snps campaign and is a renewed, refreshed strength and mandate for that. But Boris Johnson has said he wouldnt back a referendum. Al Boris Johnson will react as Prime Minister will be interesting. It is difficult for him now to say never given the amount of seats they won. Well have to wait till 2021 when there are Scottish Government elections. The next one is not a huge change. The liberal democrats had a real shocker. Their leader build their campaign on one thing. Stop brexit they actually believe they could back lots of remain votes. I am excited to stand here as your candidate for Prime Minister. But she didnt even hold her own seat. The other massive effect this result will have is on the economy. This is likely to prove to bea the economy. This is likely to prove to be a very economically significant election result. It means borisjohnson significant election result. It means Boris Johnson can significant election result. It means borisjohnson can enact is ha rd means borisjohnson can enact is hard brexit. We will not change the shape of our economy. A bit more public spending, less tax revenues to spend on public services. The last thing to bear in mind is it is so hard for labour to come back from this. No party has been able to win back such a deficit in a single term. It is totally plausible we are set for ten years of conservative rule. You lost a 2024 election as well. No opposition ever again set number of seats. I would dispute that. What has clearly come through in these results is that this was the brexit election. A lot of people blamejeremy the brexit election. A lot of people blame Jeremy Corbyn and the brexit election. A lot of people blameJeremy Corbyn and his left wing policies of being unelectable. 0bviously Jeremy Corbyn is going to go. I will not lead the party in any future general Election Campaign. A lot of the partys members are corbyn believers so how will the party work out a way forward. The big takeaway from this election is something we knew already. Brexit has divided the country and is changing our politics asa country and is changing our politics as a crazy speed. So buckle up because that ride is far from over. Thank you for hanging out with us. We hope you have enjoyed it and found it useful. This is our last episode so we thought we would say goodbye. With some lukewarm humour which we could get past bbc impartiality rules. Hello there. We are looking at some blustery conditions this weekend. Weather wise, its a weekend of sunshine and showers. The showers having sunny spells between across england and wales, but further north you go, a lot of cloud around and indeed, through the central belt of scotland i think the showers will merge to give some fairly lengthy spells of rain. Its going to be a windy afternoon wherever you are. But the strongest winds will be working through the english channel. Gusts reaching 50 60 miles an hour for the channel islands. Temperatures on the cold side for the north of the uk. Further south, near normal for this time of year at around 9 degrees for cardiff and london. 0vernight, as colder air works in, some of those showers turn to snow across the hills of north wales, into the pennines, the cumbrian fells and into the scottish Higher Ground through the southern uplands, argyll and bute towards the trossachs as well. So, for these areas, there could be a centimetre or two of snow building in, giving some icy conditions. For many of us, its a cold night but with winds keeping the frost at bay, just about thats your latest weather. Good afternoon. The Prime Minister is visiting the north east of england, where a surge of support for the conservatives in traditional labour seats helped his party to its biggest election win in 30 years. In the past hour, borisjohnson met supporters in newly conservative
