On tackling global warming. Former emmerdale actor, Kelvin Fletcher, drafted in as a last minute replacement, wins this years striclty. And our sunday morning edition of the papers is at 9. 35 this mornings reviewers are dawn foster from the guardian and asa bennett, the brexit commissioning editor for the daily telegraph. Jeremy corbyn has apologised for his part in labours worst general election defeat since the 1930s. Immediately after the vote, he faced criticism for not saying sorry to labour mps whod lost their seats. But in a letter in the sunday mirror, he says he takes responsibility and that his party came up short. Heres our Political Correspondent, iain watson. Jeremy corbyn is under pressure from some of his own mps to relinquish the Party Leadership sooner rather than later, but so far he is resisting. Reporter do you feel that you let the party down . He says he accepts his responsibility for labours heavy defeat but adds progress does not come in a simple straight line. Crowd chant 0h, Jeremy Corbyn on austerity, corporate power, the climate, and inequality, he claims labour won the argument but that there was no quick fix to overcome voter distrust. I have been shocked and appalled. Two women who may compete to succeed him birmingham mp, Jess Phillips, and the wigam mp, lisa nandy, set out their stalls today. Ms phillips urges people tojoin labour in order to change it. A clear signal shed move away from the corbyn agenda. While lisa nandy says the party has lost touch with the day to day lives of the people it wishes to represent. Party officials will have initial discussions next week in drawing up a timetable for electing a new leader. Iain watson, bbc news. With me is our Political Correspondent tony bonsignore. First of all, labour, an apology of sorts from Jeremy Corbyn today . He ta kes sorts from Jeremy Corbyn today . He takes personal responsibility for it very explicitly but when you read what has been written in the papers today, he put a video on social media, there is not that much apologising going on but what he saysis apologising going on but what he says is our manifesto was really popular. We won the argument on Climate Change and inequality and austerity but the problem, according toJeremy Corbyn, was brexit, which the policy did not go down welcome he says, and a problem with the media. But actually, this is more of a rallying cry for supporters to continue after he has gone with the corbin project, if thats what you wa nt to corbin project, if thats what you want to call it. Others are not convinced, he is creating huge amounts of debate this morning. We had Jess Phillips and lisa nandy, both labour mps, fiercely critical of theirs. Jess phillips, saying there are too many people in labour more interested in the party then getting new votes, and lisa nandy saying that labour has lost touch with ordinary voters and their day to day experiences. I expect the apology will beg more questions than it answers. And we are hearing more about Boris Johnson is it answers. And we are hearing more about borisjohnson is plans for government . We have mps coming into london today and tomorrow, a big day on thursday. Another queen speech, a big moment for the new government. We already have an idea of the kinds of things we want to expect. This is the Cabinet Office minister michael gove speaking minutes ago. Well, i think what we can expect is a recognition that the National Health service is the number one focus of this government, when it comes to domestic policy. We need to make sure the National Health service is properly funded and we will be bringing forward legislation to ensure that there is an nhs funding guarantee. Thats the first and most important thing. And then alongside that, we also need to tackle an economic problem that this country has. It has been the case in the past that the areas of highest productivity in the uk economy have tended to be in the south and east of england. We need to make sure that Economic Opportunity is more equally spread across the whole country and we need to invest in the infrastructure and also the improvements to skills and education necessary in order to make sure opportunity is more equal. And as well as that, you will see a lot of brexit over the next few weeks. Government needs to push through legislation to make sure the sist through legislation to make sure the 31st of january deadline is met through legislation to make sure the 31st ofjanuary deadline is met and beyond that, theres a lot happening at the moment. There is a lot of talk of a major reshuffle in february when brexit day has passed. And a big review with the way that whitehall and government works. We could have departments disappearing and a fundamental change in how the government operates. That is a pet project of borisjohnsons senior adviser, dominic cummings. Thanks very much. A british man has been killed and his son injured after being shot during a suspected robbery in argentina. The men, aged 50 and 28, were injured as they fought back against a pair of robbers who ambushed them outside a five star hotel in buenos aires. Police are reportedly investigating whether it was a random attack, or if their taxi had been tailed from the airport. Heres our reporter Greg Mckenzie on the story. The Foreign Office has confirmed that they are supporting the family of two british nationals, who were shot in buenos aires yesterday afternoon in broad daylight. This took place just outside a hotel, a luxury hotel, in Puerto Madero region, an affluent region of buenos aires. Cctv footage is clear as day, you can see the two men, a father and son, trying to fight off their attackers when theyre being robbed. Sadly they were both shot and taken to hospital. It was there where the father was pronounced dead a short time later. Now, the traveljournalist, simon calder says these attacks are all too common in south american countries. This is an awful tragedy, im afraid that crime, particularly aimed at people who are regarded as well to do tourists or business travellers, is all too common. Notjust in buenos aires, argentina, but elsewhere, particularly in the big south american cities. And the advice, simply, myself being targeted is either run away if you possibly can, or just hand over whatever it is they want. Awful situation. Argentina in general is a very friendly, very safe, very welcoming country, which at this time of year, is a joy to travel in. But, unfortunately, like elsewhere in latin america, there are criminals who will, im afraid, use of violence if they feel they need to. Last year, more than 110,000 british nationals visited argentina and relatively trouble free. But what the advice has always been on the ground in buenos aires is that if you are approached by a gang or individuals carrying weapons, you simply dont resist. You hand over your belongings. Now, of course, there is a Police Investigation and theyre trying to determine whether these two british nationals were followed from the airport to the hotel, or whether this was simply a random attack. Police investigating the death of a 15 year old boy in cheshire have charged a teenager with murder. The body of alex rodda was discovered on friday morning. Matthew mason, whos i8, has been remanded in custody and will appear before magistrates on monday. The death toll from last weeks volcanic eruption in new zealand has risen to 18. The victim, who has not been identified, died in hospital. Around 20 people remain in intensive care with severe burns. Meanwhile, recovery teams have for a second day been unable to locate the bodies of two people still missing. Our correspondent phil mercer is following the story from sydney. Just bring us up to date . Just bring us uptodate . As you say, 18 people have been confirmed deadin say, 18 people have been confirmed dead in the disaster that struck on monday at white island in the bay of plenty just off monday at white island in the bay of plentyjust off new zealands north island. Those recovery teams returned to the volcanic island today, on sunday, to once again look for two bodies. There are two more victims who have been unaccounted for. Authorities have been working on the theory that one of those bodies may well be near the crater, and another was apparently seen in the water 2a hours after the eruption. On friday, recovery teams brought out six bodies, but the search goes on for those two others. The search includes people being flown to the island to carry out this painstaking search. There is a risk of further eruptions and navy divers have been in the water of the island searching unsuccessfully for those two remaining victims. And there are plans for a minute silence to remember the victims of this disaster . At 11 minutes past two in the afternoon tomorrow in new zealand, the prime Ministerjacinda Ardern is hoping new zealand will pause for one minute, to remember those victims. At the moment, 18 people have been confirmed to have died. About 20 people remain in intensive care here in australia and new zealand. Some of those survivors have the most appalling injuries, suffering burns of up to 90 of their bodies. Also, internal burns too. It is a great challenge for skilled professionals in new zealand, and australia, to keep those people alive and help them recover. On monday, just after two oclock in the afternoon, new zealand and people elsewhere will pause to remember a tragedy that took place exactly one week ago when that minute silence is observed. Phil mercer in sydney, thank you. Un climate talks that were due to end on friday have continued through the night in madrid, as negotiators try to patch up significant rifts over emissions cuts. The minister leading the discussions has appealed for flexibility, adding that a deal is close. Major polluters including the us, brazil, china and australia are being accused of frustrating some of the negotiations. Our environment correspondent matt mcgrath is at the conference in madrid and has been following the developments of the talks. Almost every country in the world signed the paris climate agreement in the french capital about four years ago. One of the terms of that particular pact was that every country should update their National Plans on cutting carbon by the end of 2020, at the end of next year. All those countries have come to this particular cop, or conference of the parties, here in madrid to work out the wrinkles in that plan, to work out the timetable, when they are going to submit their plans, and to whom. But they have run into major difficulties here, because a lot of the countries, the European Union and small island states and many others, feel that what is on the table is not ambitious enough. They feel the science is very clear, the message from the streets is very clear. Countries need to be doing more, and what they have seen written down here, they are not very happy about. Other countries, like the united states, australia, japan, india and others, feel there is too much pressure in the plans at the moment and theyre objecting to those. So they have run into a kind of a stalemate here. On other issues, theyve run into problems. There is a big question mark over carbon markets. Lots of countries, including brazil, want to bring forward carbon credits from the past, and use them in the future. Lots of people here object to that, feeling that it would devalue the whole idea of a market. Theres also problems over the issue of loss and damage, the idea of compensating small island states for the damages endured by Climate Change that they can link to Climate Change and they re looking for compensation for that. Theyre trying to agree a compromise on that. All of the parties feel here that they are very far apart on a range of issues, and many of them, it has to be said, blame the chilean presidency. Chile is the country tasked with bringing everyone together. The meeting isnt being held in chile but in madrid, because of civil unrest in that country, and many people feel here that the chileans havent done a fantasticjob. They still hope that they can get some plans together and work on a compromise, but the worry is that if they dont, these talks would end in failure, the conference might be suspended and would have to be resumed at some point in the new year. The headlines on bbc news. The labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has apologised to supporters, for his partys heavy defeat in the general election. As Boris Johnson prepares for thurdays queen speech, the government is to enshrine in law, a commitment to raise spending on the nhs in england. A british man has been killed and his son wounded after being shot during a suspected robbery outside a five star hotel in buenos aires. The us and uk have issued travel warnings for northeast india after days of violent clashes that killed at least five people. Thousands of people have been protesting after the Indian Government passed a new law which aims to give citizenship to refugees from religious minorities from neighbouring countries. Mobile and Internet Services have been shut down. A curfew has been relaxed in some parts of the North Eastern region to allow people to buy goods. Protestors have been taking to the streets of rome, in protest against italys far right movements. They call themselves the sardines and they are particularly opposed to Matteo Salvinis la liga party until september, he was the Italian Deputy Prime Minister who pursued anti migration policies. Our rome correspondent mark lowen had a look at the protests. A month ago, this movement didnt exist. But within the last four weeks, it has sprung up from a flash mob in northern italy to this tens of thousands filling this square in rome, rising up against the far right party here, the league, led by Matteo Salvini, the former deputy Prime Minister. They call themselves the sardines, because they pack tightly into piazzas right across this country over the past four weeks. They are calling for a respect for human rights, for welcoming migrants, a return to core values of democracy and they warn that the ghosts of italys fascist past are returning. We want to demonstrate that we are here and the other half of italy is here. And were not agreeing with what has been done in the past year. I dont like salvini and i think he represents a part of italians that did not wake up from fascism and we are here to prove that some italians are. We are living a deep and black age in italy. So i think my work here is to stand up for everyones right and this, i think, is everyone heres main purpose here today. We are looking out across the sea of sardines. But what you dont see are political banners and flags, because this movement wants to rise above traditional political parties, above italys divided and polarised political system. What theyre trying to do is to stop Matteo Salvini winning an important Regional Election in northern italy next month, which, if he were to triumph in, could spark National Elections the polls say he could win. They believe the tide is turning against populism in this country and the sardines are riding it. A powerful earthquake has hit near the southern philippines city of davao. The 6. 8 magnitude quake is the latest to strike the southern part of the country in recent months. There is no threat of a tsunami. The Us Geological survey said there was a low likelihood of casualties. You can see from these images posted on social media that there has been some damage to roads and buildings. This video shows the tremors causing a Hotel Swimming Pool to overflow. Other footage shows buldings swaying and people evacuating. The region has been hit by three earthquakes since october one of which killed at least five people. Anglian water has worked through the night in an attempt to reconnect up to 5000 homes in the bedfordshire town of leighton buzzard. Problems began on friday and initially up to 40,000 people are believed to have been affected. A broken valve has been fixed but the company said last night that there were further problems to be solved. Rail passengers are being advised to check train times before they travel today, as major timetable changes are introduced. Rail Companies Say journey times will be shorter, Services Made more frequent, and new routes added. But a chaotic timetable change last year has prompted concerns over potential disruption. A little earlier on bbc breakfast, my colleagues ben thompson and Rachel Burden spoke to david sidebottom, who is from the passengers watchdog, transport focus. The big changes are 1000 Additional Services per week, which is good, more frequency for passengers, better chance of getting a seat on an already busy train. Some services are going to be quicker, you know, better investment in infrastructure, better signalling and tracks and more reliable and quicker. Should is the key word, it is about delivery, now. Does itjust happen overnight, this timetable change, or is it a gradual introduction . Pretty much overnight. Today is the switch on for this. But, actually, monday is the real test, when we all go back to work, the commuters. We will see a couple of days of a bit of uncertainty, things will settle down a bit. The staff at the railway have got to get used to this as well, being in the right place at the right time. Give it 48 hours or so and that will be the test if its working. From a sort of outsiders point of view, we will look at this and think it is just a slight change of a few minutes, one way or the other, but actually, this is a fundamental rethink of how these trains run and work, isnt it . Yes, a whole heap of planning has gone into this over many, many months. This is part of a bigger plan. Much welcome investment, newer and longer trains, more reliable services. But you were right in what you were saying before, you know, we got long memories, us railway commuters. And 18 months wasnt good and this is a real test of the railway, now. Network rail and all the train operators have got to make sure they are delivered. First nonstop service between london and bristol, bristol parkway, which reduces thatjourney time to just over an hour this is all the stuff. Its been the jam tomorrow starting to arrive now. Every year, the fares go up for commuters and they come back with the same line that they want to see the improvements. Over the past couple of years, theres been a few more thousand services introduced and this is the start of this now. But its about making sure this works reliably for the passengers. And lots of changes around scotrail and potential improvements to its services there, improving the link between edinburgh and glasgow. Improvements in scotland, lots of services on sunday in wales as well. Lots of stuff being introduced, this is all good stuff. What a night it was in the strictly ballroom with a new champion couple lifting the glitterball trophy.

Heinz skyte has supported the club ever since, and now the 99 year old has been honoured in a special pitch side ceremony. Our reporter Olivia Richwald has the story. Heinz skyte and leeds united go back a very long way. Back, in fact, to 1939, when heinz arrived in leeds as a 19 year old jewish refugee. His brother, frank, took him straight to watch leeds united. I arrived in leeds at lunchtime on a saturday and went straight to elland road, before we went home. So that was my first match. Heinz was a season Ticket Holder for decades. The club has just celebrated its centenary and heinz marks his 100 birthday in february. At yesterdays match against cardiff, he was presented with a personalised shirt and scarf in a pitchside ceremony. How do you feel to be here today . Cold theyre doing better than they used to. We want them up in the first division. Heinzs story is remarkable. On the ninth of november 1938, his father was one of 30,000 jewish men and boys who were arrested and sent to concentration camps. The evening was known as kristallnacht, the night of the broken glass, because hundreds of synagogues were burnt and businesses destroyed. The smoke from the burning synagogues and people were arrested, frogmarched through the street. And of course, they came for me as well but i was not there. Heinz avaded the nazis that night by hiding on a bench in a park and escaped to leeds a few months later. Heinz and his brother eventually helped their parents escape nazi germany too, but they did lose other family in the holocaust. Heinz became a british citizen two years after the end of the war and has supported his local Football Club ever since. I feel very proud that he has been honoured and the club have done him proud and hopefully he has done the club proud. Olivia rich world, bbc news, leeds. Olivia richwald, bbc news, leeds. A ceremony has taken place to open the new National Stadium in tokyo, which will be the main venue for the 2020 summer olympics and paralympics. The event at the 60,000 seater venue was attended by japans Prime Minister, shinzo abe. The stadium which costjust under a Million Pounds to build will host both the athletics and football as well as the opening and closing ceremonies. And well be taking an in depth look at the papers with our reviewers dawn foster from the guardian and asa bennett, the brexit commissioning editor for the telegraph thats coming up after the latest headlines and a full sport update. Now its time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. We have seen a bit of snow working in overnight, particularly across the high ground of the north of the uk but we have seen some snow push down right towards sea level across north east england. This was the scene first thing this morning in redcar and cleveland. It does mean that for some its been an icy start to the day but it is a day of sunshine and blustery showers. The satellite picture shows the extent of the shower clouds that we see moving in across the uk with the next batch of shower clouds waiting to move in. The showers most frequent across wales and southern coastal counties of england although they will merge together to give some lengthy spells of rain through scotlands central belt so may be still a bit of winteriness up over the hills. There will be some sunshine between the showers, some areas might completely miss the showers, perhaps parts of nottinghamshire, lincolnshire and eastern areas of scotland seeing some reasonable weather. Chilly in the north, temperature 3 5, most of england and wales seven 9 degrees. The winds perhaps making it feel a bit cooler than that. Overnight tonight, the south westerly winds continue to drag in showers, particularly around our western and Southern Coasts and hills. Temperatures in england and wales three to six but for the far north of england, Northern Ireland and scotland, its colder, cold enough for some patches of frost and therefore a risk of a few icy patches through the night. The week ahead we start off with that sunshine and showers theme, quite cool weather and dry on wednesday before milder air works in later in the week with outbreaks of more general rain on the way. Monday, sunshine and showers once again that the showers will be less frequent with the wind is not as strong and bigger gaps in between the showers, more in the way of sunshine. The exception to that theme will be in western scotland where the showers merged together to give longer spells of rain, yes. Cold enough for some snow in the scottish hills as well, things could turn quite icy here. Monday night and tuesday, this area of low pressure pushes north out to france, bringing rain to central and eastern areas of england. West of england, wales, Northern Ireland and scotland, sunshine and showers, although the showers will be fewer and further between and more dry weather around. But it will be cold for most, temperatures 4 or five celsius widely, 8 or 9 with the rain and cloud across east anglia and south east england. Beyond that, it turns milder and with the milder air arriving, it turns wetter with temperatures up to 12 in london on thursday. Hello this is bbc news.
