Honoured. Kelvin and otis 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. Now its time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. Hello. Its been quite a blustery feeling day out there, with plenty of showers around. Some of the showers have been falling as sleet and snow over the highest ground and they will continue to do so, particularly across the northern half of the uk through the course of this evening and overnight. So a risk tonight of seeing some icy patches, particularly for parts of Northern England, scotland and northern ireland, with further hill snow. So to concentrate on the course of tonight, thats where we will see snow showers over Higher Ground, for scotland, the southern uplands, the Mourne Mountains of northern ireland, the pennines, also the mountains of wales seeing some of that snow accumulating. At lower levels we will see a few rain showers overnight. It will stay mostly frost free in the south, with enough of a breeze to keep temperatures at three orfour degrees, but a cold start to your sunday morning for the north. Still some scattered showers on the cards for tomorrow but fewer than we have seen today, a little more in the way of sunshine, particularly in the east. Still some brisk winds, we could see gusts of a0 mph or more, especially around coastal parts. Chilly, temperatures around 3 9, and feeling colder in the breeze. Goodbye. Hello, this is bbc news. The headlines the Prime Minister tells supporters in tony blairs old constituency in north east england that they have changed the Political Landscape and the country. Our country has now embarked on a wonderful adventure, and we are going to recover our National Self confidence, our mojo, ourself belief, and we are going to do things differently and better. Labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn is coming under increasing pressure to resign immediately after his party suffered its worst Election Results since the 1930s. To try and disguise it, which i think the leadership of the labour party is now, by saying it was brexit or its the mainstream media, you know, just sort of like, man up. The project has failed and youve now got to leave the stage. Faster journeys, news routes and more trains its all change on the railways from tomorrow. Protesters against italys far right party the league gather in rome, for whats expected to be the biggest demonstration yet by grass roots activists, that call themselves the sardines. Now on bbc news, adam fleming and the electioncast look back at this weeks Election Results. Hello, everyone, welcome to what i think is going to be the last electioncast ever, a little tear there. But its going to be a biggie because of the massive, massive election result weve just had. Chris mason has disappeared. Hes left his laptop. He is going to come back, im assured, by him, but i have some company in the studio. Guests, would you like to introduce yourself to the nation . My name is ayesha hazarika, im a former labour adviser, and im now columnist for the evening standard. And im mathew elliot. Im the former ceo of vote leave and do various things now. And i can tell youre a former ceo cos youve got a note pad. Laughter. To prepare and to capture your thoughts. A clean white shirt on. I havent shaved. Me, neither just give me a sense of what youve been doing since exit poll oclock. Just trying to process the sheer shock of that victory, that huge tory landslide victory. I thought there might be a majority of about 20, so i was genuinely jaw on the floor and since then just thinking about the future of the labour party and fighting with people. Matthew, youre famous as a tactician and a strategist on campaigns. How did borisjohnson pull this off, or is it just really obvious . I think its, um, its pretty obvious. He is going to deliver brexit and this was all about electing a government who would deliver that, and i think the lesson for the other parties is they hadnt really heard what the public had said in 2016. Theyre ignoring the voice of the public and, over the past 3. 5 years, their frustrations have built up and up and up as parliament has delayed things and this was the final cry of the public to say, get this thing done. Well, lets have a listen to borisjohnson. I want to speak directly to those who made it possible and to all those who voted for us for the first time and those whose pencils may have wavered over the ballot and who heard the voices of their parents and grandparents whispering anxiously in their ears. I say thank you for the trust you have placed in us and in me and we will work round the clock to repay your trust and to deliver on your priorities with a parliament that works for you. And then i want to speak also to those did not vote for us or for me, and who wanted and perhaps still want to remain in the eu, and i want you to know that we, in this one nation conservative government, will never ignore your good and positive feelings. So, matthew, the stonking majority, does that disguise the fact that actually in some places it is not that he has converted lifelong labour voters into lifelong tory voters, this isjust a moment in time when they were prepared to cross a Different Box . I think you are absolutely right. This was a vote to get brexit done. Theres lots in the manifesto that will actually help many of these new conservative seats, so lots of emphasis on the northern powerhouse, more infrastructure spending, much more spending on the nhs, but i think it is fair to say that he has this parliament to actually earn their support, to get them to vote for these conservative mps again, for a second time round. So the whole next parliament is going to be like a rolling general Election Campaign, to keep hold of those people . That is modern day politics. True. Theres lots of talk about how the conservative party is quite different now. Borisjohnson is representing a whole load of new people. Does that mean he will be a new person . Well, that is the big question. Who is Boris Johnson really going to be . Is he going to be this sort of guardian of the more brexity wing of the party . I mean, i thought it was quite telling and slightly chilling that one of the people that was tweeting her support for this new administration was katie hopkins, today, saying sort of that weve got our country back and nationalism sort of rules. So hes saying, look, im going to be this one nation person but at the same time the party has morphed into something which had to suck up a lot of people who are clearly more to the right. So it is gong to be interesting to see which borisjohnson we will get over the course of this parliament. Lots of people in brussels have been texting me, cos my dayjob is in brussels, covering the brexit negotiations, and on the eu side and they think, oh, this opens space for him to pivot towards a softer brexit than the one he was pursuing, or it maybe even opens up space for him to extend the transition period beyond the end of 2020. I just think that is brussels is getting the wrong end of the stick about Boris Johnson again, isnt it . Thats not going to happen. But lets not forget, theyre almost like two visions of the brexit at the referendum. You had nigel farage and his crowd, at leave. Eu, which was more of a sort of perhaps a little england, more nationalistic type of brexit, and then id say at vote leave, what boris embodied, and people like michael gove and gisela stuart, was a more sort of internationalist brexit, where they felt the eu was constraining britain, holding it in, it was too protectionist, and they wanted to actually have a role for britain with free trading across the world and playing a bigger role across the world, so i see boris implementing that more liberal internationalist brexit. Isnt itjust going to be hard . How is he going to reconcile that position because has won this landslide because of the sort of nigel farage followers as well, and i dont want to replay the whole referendum thing, but one of the great things is there was no real clarity on what brexit was offered, so he is going to have to try and fins a way of appeasing these two visions. To try and find a way of appeasing these two visions. And appeasement and brexit do not go hand in hand. One of the reasons theresa may pursued the idea of the customs territory with the eu, which loads of people hated, was to protect supply chains and manufacturing. Boris johnson is not going to go down that route. Doesnt that mean there are lots ofjobs in manufacturing in the constituencies he has just gained for the first time that could be at risk from his vision of brexit . I think he will be able to use a majority to say to the eu that he has a huge mandate for brexit to get that free trade deal by the end of the year, but on perhaps the most contentious issue between both sides, when it came to migration, i would not mistake what you were saying about the sound a populist migration. When you actually spoke to voters and did focus groups and did research about what people were voting for, they wanted control of migration. So if they feel Boris Johnson can bring in a system, over the next four years, this system like an australian style points system he keeps on talking about, where theres control and government is accountable for it, and with a government with of a majority of 78, they definitely will be accountable for migration, than people feel the government is listening. But with respect, what does that actually mean . Because the government has been responsible for migration for quite a long time that is one of the functions of having borders. We do notjust have uncontrolled immigration. But its been Free Movement with the eu. Sure, but its a mistake to say we have sort of unfettered immigration and quite a lot of the kind of fears in the Brexit Campaign were about people coming from countries where we do not have freedom of movement, like that tacky poster. Like that turkey poster. And of course, i have had a lot of one nation tories say to me, look, the thing about boris is hes actually really liberal on immigration, its all going to be fine. Then in the last week of the election, he says his words were incredibly inflammatory and quite hurtful weve got to send the message to immigrants, theyjust cant come and treat this country like its their own whoa which borisjohnson are you . Are you that kind of tough on immigration or are you more liberal on immigration . Has he stored up any hostages to fortune . Are the seeds of his future defeat been sown in his massive victory . I dont think so. The boris i think, when it comes to migration is the one as mayor, who was talking about an amnesty. Thats the real boris. But why did he say that in the last week of the Election Campaign . Those words were like very hurtful to people. Because he wanted to emphasise the fact there would be a return to control when it came to eu migration. Those words, you know, they were very much taking. They were putting a flag in the ground in the more kind of nigel farage territory of immigration, rather than the old borisjohnson of, lets have an amnesty. Well see what happens but i do think he will govern along those lines. So do you think he was saying one thing to get elected and hell do another when hes in government . Because politicians have never done that before lets listen to some voters. This is from a phone in on 5live this morning, nikki campbell, with a range of views. I cannot believe these labour voters that have voted the tories in, consett county durham. I cannot believe it, like its done my head in that is what this country has come to. The nhs is knackered, everything is knackered. Disabled peoples knackered, everythings knackered. Some of them voted brexit because they didnt like Jeremy Corbyn. If they didnt likeJeremy Corbyn, why notjust have a Labour Government if he was no good, we could have got rid of him, like the tories have done in the last four years i am absolutely fuming. If you saw one of your mates now who voted. Im going to meet one of my mates this afternoon, for his birthday. Did he vote conservative . He voted brexit, but to vote brexit. What are you going to say to him . I am going to say thanks for putting the tories into county durham. I cannot believe we have a tory mp up here i do vote conservative, yes, because i voted for leave and labour just didnt want it done. I want them to deliver what they have promised and deliver brexit. This is not about brexit, i am a voter in what is known as the red wall, which went tory and i have ever voted tory, as the red wall, which went tory and i never thought it would go tory, but all the people in our area, that you talk to, did not want to vote forJeremy Corbyn and to say this is about brexit would be really, really silly. That guys birthday drinks sound a bit tense dont they . It will end up like a massive brawl yes. Theyre going to be biting each other. If you are in that pub, let us know how it goes. Lets talk about the last few hours. What for you was the bit that really crystallised it all . It was just. Everything literally everything. It has been like a horror film for me for the last 2a hours. It was the exit poll. I think people like me were very worried about how labour was going to do. I have been outdoor knocking, i had lots of reservations but i kind of tried to make myself see the positives, and i was thinking, maybe the labour brand will hold up better even thoutheremy corbyn is quite unpopular, maybe people see through Boris Johnson for the charlatan he is, maybe well get a hung parliament, but when the clarity of that exit poll was really, really sobering. Listening to those callers from 5live, i mean, what does that tell you about where the country is now . It shows the country wants to get brexit done and, for me, the iconic moments were things like sedgefield, of course, tony blairs seat, and also some of the sunderland seats, where of course, had the brexit party not been standing, we even would have seen some conservative mps there. But listening to those callers on 5live, i mean, even though kind of the drama is over now, the conundrum has been solved, people are not happy, people are not relaxed, people are not chilled out, people are not united, people are not on friendly terms with the other lot. I mean, i admire your massive, brilliant message discipline. You came up with these sort of slogans which have won again and again. But i dont think you can just say this was all about getting brexit done. You have to concede that some of this was about how unpopularJeremy Corbyn was and if there was another, if there was a different labour leader that was not polling as badly, people might have, you know, even if theyd been leavers, they may have held their nose and voted another way. There are still great anxieties about other things, you know, public services, and it does not feel like the country has come together over this. It still feels like it is incredibly divided. Chris mason has popped in. Sit down, catch your breath. 0k, right, lets talk about Jeremy Corbyn then. Here is what he had to say in an interview on friday morning. Have a listen to this. Ive done everything i could to lead this party, done everything i could to develop its policies and since i became leader the membership has more than doubled and the party has developed a very serious, radical, yes, but serious and fully costed manifesto. And ive received more personal abuse than any other leader has ever received by a great deal of the media. Now, that happens all the time. I will talk to our National Executive about what we do in the future. I called for, last night, a period of reflection in the party. And, obviously, the ruling body of the party, our National Executive, will decide what process we follow them for an election for a successor to me. And i am prepared, and i was elected to do so, to lead the party until that takes place. Now, i am not an expert in latin, but whats the opposite of mea culpa . I mean, it almost sounds like he won and hes complaining that youre not being nice enough to me. I found it extraordinary. It was like abc, anyone but corbyn, it was tony blair, the chief rabbi, it was maureen lipman, the daily mail, it was electioncast, it was literally everything. I think there was a lack of contrition and a lack of humility. Matthew, were you guys watching the labour campaignerJeremy Corbyn campaign and Jeremy Corbyn and laughing the whole time . This is too easy i think all the opposition parties, because the key point was when it came to the brexit point they hadnt accepted the result. And i will be fascinated to see, come the 31st of january, where we leave the Political Institutions of the eu, presumably by that point we will be partly into the labour leadership Election Campaign or the period of reflection parties talk about to work out the results, what will the Labour Party Policy be . Will they accept that weve left the eu or will it be the same policy . Ditto with the lib dems. At what point will they catch up with where the public are . If the lib dems offered you a massive cheque to change your political world view and work for them, what would you advise thejo swinson less lib dems to do, as a strategist . Exhales. You cant even bring yourself to. When it comes to labour, accept brexit, extinguish anti semitism from the labour party. And then produce a manifesto that appeals to the public, not to party members. When you sayjust accept brexit, and dont rerun the whole thing, but a lot of people in this country, you guys won by a very narrow margin. Theres a lot of people in this country who are not. It is four victories, it is the referendum, its 2017, its european elections, its last night. But in the same way that your side never ever quite accepted the result from the 19705 and kept questing for this moment, you cantjust like quell the desire in ardent europeans as well. And youve got a problem north of the border with scotland, where scotland is a majority remain country talking about the will of the people. If Nicola Sturgeon gets another clean sweep at the Scottish Parliamentary elections on a mandate that they want another referendum. In 2021. I mean, its very. Its not as simple as saying accept the result. What about the coming discussion afterjanuary 31 about what brexit looks like . Because by that stage the uk is out of the european union, yes, theres the transition period, but its the future relationship with the eu. And we know that the timetable, as set out by the Prime Minister, is mighty tight. And, i guess, the easiest way to meet a deadline when the deadline is tight to keep things relatively close to where they are. But, of course, for plenty of brexiteers disentangling and moving some distance is the whole cherished aim. I just wonder, once were into that discussion, where we might end up, given how tight the deadline is and given that the Prime Minister wont to break his promise. Two points on this, i think its easier to get a trade deal than people generally say. So they always talk about the ceta trade deal with the eu, the seven year canadian eu trade deal. With this one where youre starting with the similar regulatory systems or similar regulations, itll be quicker. The second point is this, one reason brexit has been taking up so much bandwidth politically and in the media is because of the hung parliament, because of the constant debates and votes every week and knife edge votes and that sort of thing. When you are a Prime Minister with a big majority, those stories will go away. So we will start to write domestic matters as well. Is the coming labour leadership context by predictable . Contest qute predictable . Can you see who will stand, what will happen . One thing that we can say, there will be civil wars breaking out in the labour party as we speak now. I think the runners and riders, there is an appetite for a female leader. We will definitely see, i think, Angela Rayner, emily thornberry, rebecca long bailey, and Angela Rayner and rebecca long bailey were seen to have very good Election Campaigns. They were sort of put forward, promoted very heavily by the leadership. But i think its going to be interesting to see what any moderates do. Is someone like Jess Phillips going to put her name forward . Would she have a chance . What do the membership, what is the membership of the labour. You were having a conversation before i came here, what is the fluidity of the membership of the labour party, cis the numbers are quite sketchy. Cos the numbers are quite sketchy. Are the 300,000 corbynistas going to vanish overnight . We dont know how many are still there, dont know how many will be rejoining of a lot of more moderate members, will the nec do chicanery with the freeze date and the freeze date is now the minute the exit poll landed . These things are up for discussion. One thing i will say is that i think, i have just been speaking to somebody before i came out who was from the trade union movement, there is going to be a huge rush for recrimination and im not going to be holier than thou, im definitely part of that. But weve got to not lose sight of the fact that there was quite a lot of stuff that actually did bring the labour Party Together eventually, look, corbynism, i dont think has worked. However, he has changed the narrative on spending and on austerity. Even the conservative party has moved and broken its own rules. So i think for the labour party to just rip all of that up and from a fiscal point of viewjust to go back to where we were saying say under Alistair Darling or ed balls, thats not the answer. We cantjust keep hankering after, oh my god, like, we need tony blair back. We need to reformulate our new vision for now. We cantjust be so nostalgic for 1997. You have your phone on the table. Have any leadership contenders started lobbying you already . I have had it on plane mode. Laughter. You might have 50 pleas for support matthew, quick question about brexit and when we get to next year afterjanuary 31, i wonder why your take is on, psychologically, where the country will be once we have legally left, but, of course, in practical terms not a lot will have changed because we will still be in the transition period. There will be a discussion about what the future relationship looks like. I wonder, psychologically, for a lot of people, how much that will feel like actually getting brexit done . Because that will be big symbolic moment, the flag will come down, the ambassador will come home, the meps will no longer be in work, we wont be going to summits. I think the ambassador willjust change his job title. Do you think so . I think so. I dont think it will be that dramatic. I suppose there will be an ambassador to the eu. What will happen to the Ferrero Rocher . They dont actually have the catering is. Fake news. I guess, how big that moment is perceived, i cant help but think it will be quite big in shaping where we are politically around that discussion that happens about what the future relationship looks like, even though we will be in a transition when nothing will have changed, and in all but a legal sense were still in. It will be very big. We will be leaving the Political Institutions. But i think people realise theres another phase to go. People realise theres that trade phase. What i will be interested is will they do in parallel to the deal with the eu, deals with the us and other countries as well . And with the us president ial election taking place next year, there is really a six month window where they could start that us trade deal going before President Trump may be out of office. Do you think Dominic Cummings will stay on at number 10 . Because he was famously only going to stay there until the 31th going to stay there until the 315t of october when brexit happened. He definitely will. Because brexit was only the first stage of the whole process of reforming whitehall. There is more to do. Oh, yes, the famous page 48 of the conservative manifesto. Reforming the house of lords, the voting system, the constituencies. The judiciary. Have they got really big, big plans . Hes got a plan. Read his blog have you spoken to Dominic Cummings . You are sounding definitive about him staying on. Is that news we have committed . I have not spoken to him but im fairly sure he will. Another broken promise. Thank you both very much. Thank you forjoining us for a bit, chris. I thought id better turn up for a bit. On this momentous day. It has been, ah, what a story. Hello. Saturday brought us a blustery day with wintry showers around. Theres been a bit of sleet and snow of a Higher Ground, and you can see that from this picture, sent in by a weather watcher in middleton in cou nty weather watcher in middleton in county durham. A dusting of snow there. We could see more sleet and snow of a Higher Ground in the north through the evening and night. Set through the evening and night. Set through the evening and night. Set through the weekend, really a story of some sunshine but plenty of blustery showers and the risk of snow over Higher Ground, too. Wind still pretty gusty out there for the rest of the afternoon and evening, gusts a0 or even 50 mph, strong winds through the English Channel and some irish sea coasts as well. Further sleet and snow over the Higher Ground of scotland, particularly in the west, through the course of the evening, and for the course of the evening, and for the showers working in for much of england and wales as well. So through to the risk of some icy stretches, and more sleet and snow to come over Higher Ground, especially in the north. Lets look at the weather tonight. Rain and showers at lower levels in eastern parts of england, but snow and showers for much of wales, through the pennines, southern uplands, Mourne Mountains, as well, seeing some of that snow. So many parts of scotland, Northern England and wales in particular could see an icy start to your sunday morning. Further south, quite a bit of breeze around which keeps things mostly frost free with temperatures hovering about a 5 further south, where is further north, just below freezing, so a cold start the day for scotland and northern ireland, watch out for icy stretches. Low pressure still in charge of the weather on sunday. It will sit to the north of the uk and showers rotating around this area of low pressure. So another day of some sunshine but also a scattering of showers. Quite a lot of dry weather through the day on sunday, more than we had seen today. More showers were good from the west later in the afternoon and we will continue to see cloud and wintry showers for western parts of scotland. Gusts of wind still likely to reach a0 or possibly 50 mph but not quite as windy as it is today. Temperatures 39 windy as it is today. Temperatures 3 9 on sunday but a touch cooler where you are exposed to the breeze. Taking quickly at the weather for the week ahead, things will turn gradually a little milder but stay u nsettled gradually a little milder but stay unsettled with further showers at times, not quite as windy as it has been through the weekend. Goodbye. This is bbc news. Im geeta guru murthy live in westminster. The headlines at apm the Prime Minister tells supporters in tony blairs old constituency in north east england that they have changed the Political Landscape and the country. Our country has now embarked on a wonderful adventure, and were going to recover our National Self confidence, our mojo, our self belief, and we are going to do things differently and better. Labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn is coming under increasing pressure to resign immediately, after his party suffered its worst Election Results since the 1930s. To try and disguise it, which i think the leadership of the labour party is now, by saying it was brexit or its the mainstream media, you know, just sort of like, man up
