Alexander says that labor leader Jeremy Corbin does not have what is needed. He was planning a coupe from corbyn. Who says theres no resignation of a democratically leader. Hillary ben is a crucial player in his cabinet. Labor leaders have criticized corbyn for not campaigning hard enough to remain in the eu. Some labor politicians are calling for his resignation. Corbyn says hes not gog any going anywhere and he will seek reelection. Our policies on trade, economy, and migration will have to change in light of the referendum vote. Labor will fight that our ensure our agenda is at the heart of the negoations or withdraw from the European Union that lie ahead. Including the freedom to reform the economy to work for all and whoever leads the government is held to account to democratic account throughout the whole process. For more on this possible development, our diana magnay joins us. The hits keep on coming. What can we expect to see next . Reporter you won have thought that british politics could get more dramatic and yet this sunday morning it keeps on going. Its really extraordinary. We had this midnight telephone call between Jeremy Corbyn and hillary ben where she says him he doesnt have any more confidence on him. Hes appearing on a very important talk show right now. You can expect he will have some forth right things to say about the labor leader. And we had Heidi Alexander resigned already and there are expectations that will be more of her fellow cabinet members following suit. Most people, in fact all the shadow cabinet backed remain and Jeremy Corbyn asked the country to follow him on the remain side but the fact is the labor heartlands did not. Even if the entire shadow cabinet does resign, if thats what it comes to, it doesnt mean that Jeremy Corbyn will have to go. As a his spokesman said in that statement, he is elected democratically with a very pawf powerful mandate. The tory party is behind him. It does look like his position becomes increasingly untenable if more and more cabinet members resign. Illustrating what you are saying, as you say when he was elected, he didnt have a huge amount of support in the Parliamentary Party. It was in the grassroots. Hes going to change the party. But at the same time he is adding to instability in the country, isnt he . Weve had another key member in the shadow cabinet saying hes going to to back benn. At what point does he say hes going to go for the stability of the party, rather than saying he represents the grassroots . Reporter why does his fighting spirit suddenly come out now whereas throughout the actual Referendum Campaign he was pretty lack luster. Hes never been particularly convinced about europe, but now all of a sudden hes going all guns blazing with the possibility of a general election coming up, depending on what happens with the tory leadership. Its an incredibly confusing situation within the conservative party and the labor party. The shadow business secretary saying in a tweet just a few minutes ago, either you look your flaws in the face and address them or you stick your head in the sand, destroy the labor party and the country suffers. These are very, very harsh critiques coming from very key members of the Labor Parliamentary Party and it remains to see how long Jeremy Corbyn can stick it out in the face of that kind of criticism and what that will do for the already very, very divided labor party. Thank you, diana. Its really difficult, isnt it . For the British Public right now. They have lost their Prime Minister. It feels like theres a vacuum. And the markets opening up and sense of fear. A lot of uncertainty. In berlin, the six eu ministers, brexit isnt an amicable divorce. Were in berlin first now. What they are looking for now is clarity. They want to speed this whole thing up. London cant provide it. No one knows who is in charge. Reporter well, no, and this is exactly the situation that the eu did not want to see, but basically the stand that many countries here are sake taking is if you want out, then leave, out is out and lets make it as quick and painless as possible. At the same time however, weve also seen german chancellor angela americale take a more practical stand. Lets take the time to calm down as she said yesterday, lets not get nasty about negotiations but we cant let negotiations last forever either. Were pound to see this in the coming days and weeks, good cop, bad cop as eu wrestles with how to deal with britain leaving the eu, which is a process that will take months, even years. And obviously theres been some discussion about possible referendum taking place in france, in the netherlands. You know, what do you think when you look at the broader european landscape . Is there a sense of potential danger that this socalled contagion will spread that many other countries will want to follow the british example . There is definitely that sense and the biggest challenge and this was said by germany yesterday, the biggest challenge is to hold the European Union together. It falls upon germany most of all as the eus largest member, but also france. For these reasons, they need to make an example of great britain, to show theres absolutely no benefit to leaving. We heard that there was a referendum has been wanted to be held, a frexit, if you will. But the french president says not. They are closing ranks and saying, fine, great britain, you want out, leave now, leave quickly. Were going to make sure this doesnt happen in any other countries here in the eu. Thank you very much. A lot of uncertainty in the weeks and months ahead for europe. Now, poll sters are saying that people under the age of 30 voted overwhelmingly to remain in the eu in thursdays referendum while those over 65 voted to leave by a wide margin. That has led to an eruption of anger on social social media. Referendum nobody called for decided by a generation whose future it wont affect. Fantastic. Many shared this quote from the Comment Section of the Financial Times website. The Younger Generation has lost the right to live and work in 27 other countries. We will never know the full extent of the lost opportunities, friendships, marriages and experiences will be denied. One teenage user wrote i dont agree with the result of the referendum but a lot of people slagging off the older generation are forgetting that these people fought for our country. For more on how the decision will affect the countrys youth, were joined by felix marqar, he is the executive director. What difference is there from the older generation . Young peoples allegiances are no longer strictly national or mostly national. I call them the star wars generation. They are a bit like, you know, in star wars characters dont really care what planet you are from, they dont care what color your skin is, they dont care whether you are a wookie, a droid, a human or a big fat slimy creature. The only thing that counts is what side of the force you are. They want to know where you are going. They are values driven. They want to know if you are a race i have or not or an individualist or if you think that global warm sg a myth. Those are the questions they identify with and their allegiances are local and broad. They feel like citizens of the world. They feel much more than their elders. They feel strongly about the very local, their city, their neighborhood, but the thing in the middle, the nation . The island . Its not really, really central to their world view. Its going to have lasting damage, isnt this . Whatever your view of the referendum or europe or immigration, what we definitely do know is theres been this big divide exposed between young generations and older generations, which was already there because theres massive frustration as well with the amount of debt which has been built of. In london they cant afford to buy a house, for example, thats across the uk in fact. What sort of generation is going to come through after the one thats currently in power. I think you really have a point. A lot of people have been over the past 25 years talking about a clash of cultures, civilizations, religions. My chairman and i we have a strong feeling that the biggest clashes of all in the coming years might be a clash of generations because as you mentioned what we did over the past ten years is we took a lot of privately accumulated bad debt that was accumulated by baby boomers wrongly because of, i would argue, sort of a sense that, you know, that for very ideological reasons that purported not to be ideological, sort of a modern version of adam smiths invisible hand that was actually for the greater benefit for all in the end turned out not to be the benefit of all and all this bad debt that was privately accumulated and was made public. People who were kids are going to have to pay it back, people who were not even born, theres a good chance that they will be pretty upset, and so i think like we need to look at the ways that young people can actually sort of reclaim power in the coming years because basically, as i said, national allegiances dont work for them. Essentially i think most of them, they get the fact that the central issues of our time, global warming, nuclear proliferation, the answer to those issues will be transnational or they wont be real solutions. Those issues also, as people get older, they will take on some of the issues that the older generations do care about now, they are just in a different place in their lifeds. Yeah, of course. But theres a real evolution there and we need to look at it and one of the ways that young people can reclaim power is by migrating, voting with their et feet, and whats the eu was all about and thats what the young brits are going to miss out on. Felix thank you very much indeed. A huge issue this has exposed. Scotland also considering its future following the brexit vote. Scotland is likely to hold its second independence referendum. Plus, well take a look at possible successors to british Prime Minister David Cameron, including the larger than life former mayor of london, Boris Johnson. Thats coming up. Why are you checking your credit score . You dont want to live with mom and dad forever, do you . Well. Im not changing. How do i check my credit score . Credit karma. Dont worry, its free. Credit karma. Give yourself some credit. Who could have imagined this last week, scotlands first minister saying the country will likely seek independence from the uk again. The government considers its next move following the brexit vote. David mckenzie is in edinboro, scotland. Will there be another referendum . Its too soon to tell. Its very much on the table. We enter a very different scenario politically this week after that shock vote in the uk. 59 yes. This is what the sunday post says and thats an online poll of scotts. Certainly not necessarily scientific but that 59 yes is what they would vote if there was another independence referendum. Scotland tried it in 2014. It was defeated. And one of the main platforms saying that scotland should stay within the United Kingdom would be if they went independent they would not necessarily get back into the eu. Now the opposite has happened. England voting to leave the European Union and the scots seeing this as being dragged with them, the first minister, a popular figure in scotland is seeking any means necessary to stay into the union. To actually make it happen is extraordinarily complicated, season it . Shes going to be dragged out of the European Union with the uk. She has to tee up the referendum. Scotland is going to stay within the European Union. She has to strike some sort of deal with brussels. They have enough on their plate. This is a side issue, maybe, you could say, but a very crucial side issue. It is complex uncharted territory. If they do make some kind of deal, thats certainly some kind deal that some countries in the European Union like spain dealing with the catalan region trying to form their own nation. People like groups like countries will push again like scotland getting a separate deal after the uk leaves the union. If the scott lish National Party has made their reason for being as having a scottish statehood tries to push for a drern dumb referendum, they have to do it relatively quickly and start that legislative process. Westminster is basically in chaos with resignations left and right and a new government forming in potentially okay, thats the window possibly people say that scotland can push through some kind of move toward an independence vote but legal by and diplomatically it doesnt mean they vote for independence here and suddenly they are in the eu. It could be a whole complicated procedure after that and it does seem though, max and clarissa, that the sentiment here in scotland is to stay and the Scottish Government wants that sentiment to be respected. David, thank you very much. Another major vote happening right now in europe. David was talking about spain there. And they have got an election, havent they in the new parliament. And the countrys center right party is expected to be the big winner, but spant spains antiaw start austerity party. Voters are hoping to avoid a third round of voting. They have got a problem about scotland as well. If scotland goes ahead, you can expect katalan to go back. First, we have some of the other news of the day. Hello, everyone. The death toll has risen in the state of West Virginia. President barack obama declaring a major disaster there. At least 24 people have died. That number has risen by one in the past couple of hours. This is the deadliest flash flooding in the United States in six years. You can see what it has left behind. Downeds trees, power lines, all kinds of trees and mud. The pga has canceled a major tournament in the area because of all what you are seeing. You cant play golf there or think about it with what all the people that have their lives disrupted. It came on so fast. It changed in a moment. Its matter of too much rain within a short period of time. The communities living on the hedge of edge of rivers at the base of tall mountains. Flash flooding leaving scenes like this. We want to replay you what they are having to deal with here. You need to get the scope what these people are dealing with. The lively hoods of people just trying get back to normal. You can see the sun shining there, that doesnt make it any better. This is considered a 1,000year event by the National Weather service. Meaning there is a chance of this happening in any given year is 1in1,000. It has killed more than tornado fatalities so far in 2016. We zoom into central West Virginia. That dark shading of red representing rainfall totals, 8 to 10 inches. 250 millimeters for our International Viewers or at least the majority of that fell in a very short period of time. What you are looking at behind me is a river gauge. This gives you an idea of how much water was flowing through the elk river by early friday morning, local time, the elk river burst its banks. Its a 125year record and the majority of rise in the river, well that occurred within that sixhour period of the heavy rainfall. The river actually rose about 17 feet in six hours. Unbelievable stuff. Now the good news is that the rain has moved away. The sun is shining so the water levels will drop very quickly but as you saw from the video a moment ago, they have got a massive cleanup effort ahead of them. The other side of the United States where they are dealing with flood, not fire. Extreme drought in california ongoing for the past five years has left very volatile conditions in the area. Its almost like a tender box tenter box in southern california. Other 35,000 acres burnt. This thing is rampant and out of control. The weather conditions fuel the flames. High temperatures, low humidity, strong winds. Its been aa very active year for while fires. Over 2 million acres burned so far. The governor, jerry brown, declaring a state of emergency in kern county. People killed there in california. Thats the latest news we have for you from here.

More than 2. 9 Million People have signed a petition on the Uk Parliaments website demanding a new Eu Referendum. Just 60,000 signatures are needed for parliament to debate the issue. Now, the u. S. President barack obama is declaring a major disaster as well in the West Virginia. 24 people have died there. Its the deadliest flash flooding in six years. Theres a one in a thousand chance of this much rainfall in that area in any given area and pope francis is wrapping up a threeday trip in armenia. He will visit a holy site where saint gregory was imprisoned. Turkeys Prime Minister called the popes words of genocide unfortunate and says it reflects a crusader mentality. Moving very quickly.
