Former emmerdale actor, Kelvin Fletcher, drafted in as a last minute replacement, wins this years striclty. And coming up at 10. 30 22 years on, a british driver is trying to break his own world land speed record in bloodhound chasing the land speed record. 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. Meanwhile, Boris Johnson is to enshrine in law, a commitment to raise spending on the nhs in england, year on year , giving the service an extra 33 point nine billion pounds a year by 202a. With me is our Political Correspondent tony bonsignore. Firstly, lets talk about labour and jeremy corbyn. What has he been saying today . He takes personal responsibility for that catastrophic defeat for labour last week but when you look at both look at what borisjohnson is saying, there is not that much apologising going on. He says labour won the argument when it comes to things like Climate Change and austerity, and the economy. He says the manifesto was popular. He says labour was hit when it comes to brexit. A big problem for them and he attacked the media saying that there were ferocious attacks on him personally. You could read this as a rallying cry to Jeremy Corbyns supporters about what comes next and the future direction of the party. What he has said today has not gone down well in some quarters. Jess phillips will throw her hat in the ring to be the labour leader but he says too many of the labour party are obsessed with the party rather than winning power. Lisa nandy is popular in areas of the party and has written an article where she says labour have lost touch with day to day worries of voters. And she spoke to the bbc in the last 30 minutes. This is what she said when she was asked if she was considering standing as leader. Well, the honest answer is that im seriously thinking about it. The reason im thinking about it is because weve just had the most shattering defeat, where you really felt in towns like mine that the earth was quaking. And weve watched the entire labour base just crumble beneath our feet. I think we need to think seriously now about, first of all, how you bring those lifelong labour voters, who felt that they not only couldnt vote labour, but actually, in many instances, chose the tories, how you bring labour home to them. And i also think we have to think seriously about how we rebuild that coalition that has propelled us into power through times in the last hundred years. The lewishams and leighs and how you speak for both. The leadership contest has already begun, they are starting the process of trend to agree what went wrong last week. And Boris Johnson is now back at work. Some pretty radical plans that the government are thinking about . Yes, and this huge weight make this next week will be huge in westminster. They will be sworn in. On thursday, that is the first really big day for this government as it is the queens speech, a chance for them to set out their priorities beyond brexit. The Cabinet Office minister michael gove was interviewed this morning and here is what he said this morning. 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. Michael gove reaching out to former labour voters who voted conservative last thursday, beyond that we will have a busy few weeks with the government trying to get brexit legislation through parliament in time for that key date, january the sist. Time for that key date, january the 31st. The latest and what the government will hope to be the final day and beyond that, there is talk about a major rethink in the way the government works. We know thatis way the government works. We know that is a big project of Boris Johnsons special adviser dominic cummings. And in the aftermath of the election a lot of talk about scotland, following the snps something victory there. Nicola sturgeon has been talking today . There is two political momentum is clashing when it comes here. It is a great result for the snp, very positive, 48 out of 59 mps. They will want to push for another independence referendum sooner rather than later and that is something michael gove was asked about in that same interview. He was blunt. Will there be a Scottish Independence referendum . He was asked in this government . He said no, that was put to the snps leader and this is what she had to say about that. Well, that wont hold. And if he thinks that. Actually, i said this to him on friday night on the telephone. If he thinks saying no is the end of the matter, then hes going to find himself completely and utterly wrong. And, you know, he cannot. As i was saying yesterday, and, again, its quite a fundamental point of democracy, you cannot hold scotland in the union against its will. You cannot just lock us in a cupboard and turn the key and hope that everything goes away. If the union, the united kingdom, is to continue, then it can only be by consent. And if borisjohnson is confident in the case for the union, then he should be confident enough to make that case and allow people to decide. The problem for Nicola Sturgeon is the power to grant another referendum lies with borisjohnson and westminster which is shaping up to be an almighty battle over the next few years. Thank you very much for that. Well as tony mentioned downing street has confirmed there will be a review of whitehall departments and the sunday papers report that the Prime Minister will work over christmas on plans to merge and split different government offices. Dave penman is the general secretary of the Civil Service union, the First Division association. Hejoins me now via webcam from essex. What do you make of these reports on the governments plans to have a radical shake up of whitehall . Governments with big majorities often look at the structure of whitehall, and look at how that fits with their priorities across government. Clearly any government will want to try and reshape the administration to deliver their policies. I would caution the Prime Minister, saying changing the name on the front of the department does not necessarily change how policies are delivered. Think long and hard about merging departments but if thatis about merging departments but if that is what the government want to do then its up to them. What are the implications in terms of your members and their jobs . The implications in terms of your members and theirjobs . If two departments suddenly emerge, what does that mean for the Civil Service . It is not a simple process. The government need to realise it ta kes a the government need to realise it takes a lot reorganising organisations with thousands of staff and it systems. It costs money. While people are doing that and organising that, they are not delivering for government. These sorts of changes should only be taken if the plan is to keep it like that for the longer term. It takes time for the departments to merge and then they start to focus on the job that they are doing. You have to remember that each government is a separate employer. With different pay systems, admin systems and that needs to be brought together. For political reasons, they kept changing vertical departments and every two years, it created chaos. Changing vertical departments and every two years, it created chaoslj am reading from the sunday times there, suggesting that the government may think about merging the department of with the business department, merging the foreign 0ffice department, merging the Foreign Office and the department for international development. This will make government more effective and efficient . International trade has only recently spun off the tray department. Now, they are looking to put it back together again trade department. Clearly, the government with a plan for exiting the European Union will look at their priorities and there are a lot of arguments in trade and International Trade about whether you need a Second Department oi whether you need a Second Department or whether it can all be done under the one. You cannot reorganise your way out of this. The government has clear priorities. And the clarity of what you are trying to achieve, essentially the organisation to support that follows that. And where we have seen problems is there hasnt been that clarity. Creating a new Government Department with a name, with some sort of priority, thatis name, with some sort of priority, that is a solution in itself rather than clearing what they are trying to achieve. Thank you for that perspective. 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 18, has been remanded in custody and will appear before magistrates on monday. An australian injured in last weeks volcanic eruption on white island in new zealand has died, bringing the official death toll to 18. The victim, who has not been identified, died in hospital in sydney. Around 20 people remain in intensive care with severe burns. Rescue teams returned to white island earlier today but were unable to locate the bodies of two people still missing. 0ur correspondent phil mercer has the latest. 18 people now have been confirmed dead in the disaster that struck on monday at white island in the bay of plenty just 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 24 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. This it is a very risky environment still. There is a risk of further eruptions and police and navy divers have been in the contaminated water off white island, searching unsuccessfully for one of 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.
