For 15 years. The Labour Party is holding its first annual conference since its landslide general Election Win in liverpool. Despite delegates celebrating the partys electoral success, ministers will be urging Party Members to prepare for more tough decisions in next months budget. It come after Downing Street said that the prime minster, his deputy and the chancellor will no longer accept any donations for clothing following Growing Criticism over gifts from party donors. Our political correspondent Iain Watson has this report. Labour returns to liverpool for its annual conference, but with one big difference. Last year they were in opposition, and now they are in government after a landslide Election Win. Delegates will want to celebrate but they will hear sobering messages from ministers. They will be told the foundations of the economy needs to be fixed, and that means more difficult decisions lie ahead. And if that hasnt made the bubbly go flat, what about this from labour together a Pro Leadership grouping. In a weighty new report, they warn that. And is. All this comes after a difficult week for sir Keir Starmer. He had to declare last night he would not take more donations to pay for clothing and specs. But even with the new eyewear, critics say he lacks vision. The giant Unite Union is claiming voters� trust could be lost without a change of direction from sir Keir Starmer. They want the conference to discuss a Motion Calling for and Behind Closed Doors there� ll be a meeting between ministers and unions to thrash out differences over how far to extend workers� rights. That successful Election Campaign may now feel a long time ago. The challenges of government are different from the difficulties of opposition. Iain watson, bbc news. Live to our political correspondent, helen catt, who is in liverpool. That just after question about donations thatjust after question about donations to sir Keir Starmer, saying they will no longer take donations. Is that enough . Does that and the row over the gifts . I that and the row over the nifts . ~ gifts . I think will find i dont win the gifts . I think will find i dont win the nestle i gifts . I think will find i dont win the nestle to gifts . I think will find i i dont win the nestle to 24 don� t win the nestle to 2a hours or so but that has been enough. Never hear Rachel Reeves of the chancellor or the Deputy Leader will take any more gifts of clothing. Now, it remains to be seen if that will be enough as it is not only clothing in terms of these donations. It� s not only stories about donations that have been part of the problem is this rocky lead up to later in the Run Up to this conference. There have been stories about lea ks, claims, reports stories about leaks, claims, reports of tensions behind the scenes in Downing Street and the way it operates, particularly sheaffer my chief of staff. This is a backdrop they� re doing this against. What this is though an opportunity for Shop Window to take that narrative and set up a story about what they� re doing in government, but their plans are, going forwards under the slogan you can see all around me change begins. 50. Around me change begins. So, there are around me change begins. So, there are attempts, the possibilities of laying out the story but there are also talking with the possibility of, the in the months of tough Decision Making so again and gloom the Doom And Gloom message that seems to be coming from the new government. Yet. From the new government. Yet, there have from the new government. Yet, there have been from the new government. Yet, there have been some from the new government. Leiif there have been some criticism of that of recent months of the government has done well since is to say look it� s going to take difficult decisions, it has been very clear that it leaves Battersby And Fault of its inheritor is that it� s got from the conservatives and that is the message the message you can expect to be here to time and time again so that� s what having to make popular decisions like the cat the Winter Fuel payments that was announced earlier this year. You can expect them to reinforce that message over the course of the coming days. But, it may be that we also see a bit of optimism cropped him to this because there has been so much criticism so have to wait see what comes out of that in the coming days. There are of course, the whole point and the way conferences are designed and structured is also to give its membership say so that means that the unions and other affiliate and different branches, local branches of the Labour Party, are able to put forward their own motions to vote on and we know for example that the union unite is going to try and put the conference about reversing those cuts to the winter feel payment about trying to propose a wealth of tasks which is not Labour Policy currently so we� ll see some of that discussion on the Floor But Part of that i suppose it will show some of those tensions that pair are within the party. But then, in some ways, that kind of what� s conference, it is designed to do. It is allowed to air their views. ~. Do. It is allowed to air their views. ~. ,. ,. ,. , views. What and for overcoming some of the views. What and for overcoming some of the clattering views. What and for overcoming some of the clattering behind i some of the clattering behind you, we can see things are getting to play the conference is very much getting to way but in terms of what we expect over the next couple of days, talking through the geography of each gender. The conferences and subtle tomorrow, today is the lamest women� s conference in the feeble mps and activists, get together to struggle policy and that way you might be looking around thinking they don� t seem to be the very people there. That Start Tomorrow or hear from Keir Starmer himself and his first league a speech in government. Will see, given the membership themselves as they debate motions on floor and of course there are conferences like this, is notjust happening in the main agenda there are hundreds and hundreds of them is known things and get to talk and the existing tensions in the party so it� ll be interesting to see what happens of that. Just an opportunity to see factors to be celebrated because despite all the tensions, despite the rocky Run Up, this is maybe� s first conference in government for a decade and a half. That want to mark. They are now in this policy is for the last ia years they have been sort of a poor planning and a Communication Breakdown were among a litany of Security Failures by the us Secret Service, when a gunman attempted to assassinate Donald Trump injuly. An internal report has highlighted a lisy of failings on the day of the rally in pennsylvania. Our North America Correspondent Jenny Kumah explains. Want to really see something that said, Take A Look at what happened. A shocking moment in this unprecedented Election Campaign. The gunman fired eight rounds, grazing the former president � s ear and killing an audience member. In the crucial minutes before the shooting, the gunman was spotted on a nearby rooftop. It� s now emerged that Donald Trump� s close protection team weren� t aware of what was happening just a few hundred feet away. That� s because local police and the Secret Service were using different radio frequencies. If they� d known, the review says, they may have been able to move mr. Trump out of harm� s way. And how was 20 year old thomas crooks, who was shot dead by a sniper able to get on the roof and so close to the former president . According to the review, advanced personnel recognised the line of sight concerns from the building, but Security Measures were not carried out as intended. The Acting Director of the Secret Service said lessons needed to be learned. While some members of the Advance Team were very diligent, there was complacency on the part of others that led to a breach of security protocols. With respect to accountability, the Mission Assurance Review has identified deficiencies in the Advance Planning and its implementation by Secret Service personnel. These employees will be held accountable. This review comes at a time of renewed questions about whether the Secret Service is up to the job, following the second suspected Assassination Attempt on sunday on mr. Trump� s florida golf course. Security measures for the former president and major party candidates have been enhanced, so they get the same level of protection as the sitting president. Congress will also consider additional funding for the Secret Service in coming days. Jenny kumar, bbc news, washington. America great again and maybe.
