We hear from the archaeologist whos dedicated her entire career to the terracota army. Good afternoon. Welcome to bbc news. The labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has rebuffed calls from some Party Members to promise to keep britain in the european Single Market after brexit. As labours annual Conference Begins in brighton, 30 labour mps are among those who have signed a letter warning vulnerable workers would suffer if the uk left the Single Market. But mr corbyn told the bbc that staying in could hamper the governments ability to protect jobs and to invest in industry. Our Political Correspondent Eleanor Garnier reports. A spring in his step, no surprise. Labours still riding high after a better than expected election result. No longer fighting for his leadership, Jeremy Corbyn is pitching himself as a Prime Minister in waiting. We need at least two terms of a Labour Government to start to address issues of poverty, injustice and inequality in britain, and to build the houses that we need in this country. He might be safe in hisjob, butJeremy Corbyns still dealing with division in the party on brexit. More than a0 senior labour politicians pushing the leader to commit to staying in the Single Market after the uk leaves the eu. If you want friction less trade, and you want to putjobs first, the only way, in my view, that you can do it is by staying permanently a member of the Single Market. But there was resistance from mr corbyn, who warned his party not to give up powers he says hell need in government to deploy state support for industry. We need to look very carefully at the terms of any trade relationship. At the moment, we are part of the Single Market, obviously. That has within it restrictions on state aid and state spending. That has pressures on it through the European Union to privatise rail, for example, and other services. We have to be quite careful about the powers we need as national governments. And after a show of unity in florence this week, with her most senior ministers seemingly on side, reports of fresh cracks in the cabinet over whether borisjohnsons big intervention ahead of the Prime Ministers speech forced a change in government policy. Not true, said the brexit secretary. The policies in the Prime Ministers speech had been coming for a long time. Some of them in transition we were designing right back at the beginning of the year. Some of it weve been designing months ago. I dont think the policies have changed in the last few weeks. Conferences are a chance for Party Leaders to rally the troops and put policy centre stage. ForJeremy Corbyn, that is tackling inequality and getting greater investment in public services. Once again, we are reminded that it is brexit that is dominating everything. No doubt, theres high spirits among Party Members, but the Biggest Issue of the day, leaving the eu, will ensure that there are plenty of disagreements too. Eleanor garnier, bbc news, brighton. Joining us now from brighton is our chief Political Correspondent, vicki young. Just listening to that, it doesnt quite seem as if the parties wholly united going into this conference. It is interesting that there is a buoyant mood here because many in the labour party feel that they have the labour party feel that they have the wind in the seals and that election result, although not a win, was better than expected. Jeremy corbyn has talked about how this huge increase in the numbers in the party, the membership, how they should take over this conference and have a much bigger say about what goes on. There has been a row about whether mps should be pushed up to the balcony in the whole, not allowed on the Conference Hall as usual. There is buoyancy for the first time were Jeremy Corbyn usual. There is buoyancy for the first time wereJeremy Corbyn is not having to defend himself in his leadership. He is much more secure. But that means many more eyes looking at policies and detail. Just like in a conservative party, labour has its divisions as well. Notjust about the transition period that the government says it wants and labour says it wants as well, about whether we stay in the Single Market for a couple of years or longer, but people are coming to the longer term relationship britain will have with the European Union after brexit. Certainly within the labour party, there are differences of opinion over that. Elliott, labour backbencher ben bradshaw was talking to my colleague. Is there a realistic policy that by the end of this conference, Labour Party Policy could be continued membership of the Single Market . Yes, i hope so. If not by the end of this conference, then within a matter of weeks or months. It is really pleased we can sensibly be everyone to save the economy, and austerity and Service Provision for britain Jeremy Corbyn says he wants. But there are others in the labour party who think that is a dangerous road to go down. 30 labour mps signing this open later calling for Labour Party Policy to change for the country to be in a Single Market even after brexit. I spoke to them are far greater manchester, andy burnham. He said the danger of those who voted for brexit and those who voted remain even as well, there is a danger that their wishes and ignored. Caroline flint, who was on the side of the remain adamant, also agrees it might not be the best road for colleagues to go down. Agrees it might not be the best road for colleagues to go downli agrees it might not be the best road for colleagues to go down. I did not see how we can stay a member of the Single Market and leave the eu. Because if we got that, why wouldnt many of the other 27 members of the year choose that option as well . That is not on the table. What i do wa nt that is not on the table. What i do want is as close as access is possible to the Single Market and thatis possible to the Single Market and that is why we have to transpose into law many a year regulations to make sure that regulations covering goods and equality and making sure that trade passes smoothly does happen. So, access, but i do not see membership as an option as we are leaving the European Union. You saw and heard via the noise going on. That is because there was a demonstration, in march by hundreds of people going across the seafront here in brighton. In. Saying they wa nted here in brighton. In. Saying they wanted to be pro eu and did the borders open. It is the issue of freedom of movement that will be a tricky one for the labour party to resolve. And it is unlikely to be resolved this week. Thank you. Donald trump has been denounced by leading figures in the sports world in a controversy over the us National Anthem. He says the American Football League should fire players who refuse to stand during the National Anthem. In a tweet, the president withdrew a white house invitation to a star player of americas basketball champions because he voiced concern at being in the white house with mr trump. Now one of americas greatest basketball stars, lebron james, has joined in the criticism of mr trump. This guy that weve put in charge has tried to divide us once again. We all know how much sports brings us together, how much passion it has, how much we love and care and, you know, the friendships and everything that it creates, and for him to try to use this platform to divide us even more is not something i can stand for, and is not something i can be quiet about. That was lebron james. Last night, Stevie Wonder became the latest high profile figure to defy the president over the take a knee protest. Tonight, im taking a knee for america. The singer was helped down by his son as he kneeled during his performance at the Global Citizen festival in new york city. An nfl match is currently under way at wembley this afternoon, and before the game started, a number of players knelt during the American National anthem. These fans gave us their thoughts on the protests. Anyone who wants to kneel, you can kneel. But you have to respect the troops. Respect the National Anthem, respect the flag, respect the country, but you know what, freedom of speech is an important thing. As an american, i dont think it is disrespectful to the country. Itsjust, they dont share the same opinions with the president , i guess, theyve got different opinions, and they dont stand before the National Anthem at that point. Its not criminal. Its their right, and i think its symbolic of. Very similar to what Martin Luther king did. A peaceful protest about things that are going wrong. There is less than an hour to go until the polls close in germany posed by parliamentary elections. Chancellor Angela Merkel has been casting her vote in berlin. There she is. She is expected to win a fourth term in office, but could lose seats and struggle to put a workable coalition together. Her strongest challenger, martin shulz, voted earlier in his home town of wurselen, near the dutch border. His Centre Left Social Democratic Party is currently a Junior Coalition partner with mrs merkels christian democrats. Both mainstream parties are under pressure from the alternative for Germany Party running on an anti islam, anti immigration manifesto. The party is on course to become the first far right movement to enter the bundestag since the second world war. Lets talk to our europe reporter, at the headquarters of Angela Merkels christian democratic rte in berlin. Both parties were urging voters to go out, avoid apathy and vote. Ive been doing that . The turnout is probably similar to 2013. Which is at about two oclock this afternoon, about a0 bus sent of eligible voters had to stop in 2013, 701 . A0 Million People in germany ended up voting. It is public like a similar figure ended up voting. It is public like a similarfigure at ended up voting. It is public like a similar figure at the moment. The key question is, go back a couple weeks whilst it has not had the Razzle Dazzle and theatre of france of the dutch elections, there were a heck of a lot of undecided voters. You have to go back many years to see the number of people who still one not sure. That said, it is no surprise Angela Merkel appears to be on for herfourth surprise Angela Merkel appears to be on for her fourth time as chancellor. Back to the likes of bismarck for the longest serving leaders of germany. The Angela Merkel machine has been incredibly effective. He is a thing to bear in mind. Coalition politics is not the most sexy thing to talk about but thatis most sexy thing to talk about but that is the heart of germany for many years and it matters comes to brexit. It matters in the future of europe. You have emmanuel macron, president of france, docking for a new future post britain. We could be talking about six parties in the bundestag in parliament. Some say that if they share the coalition with two or three others, they would be wanting to talk to britain in a certain way over brexit, be perhaps more lenient, others much tougher. That matters for one. The other thing to take away is the alternative for deutschland. For the First Time Since the second world war, here we have a populace, nationalist party. Right wing. It is divisive. 0lder nationalist party. Right wing. It is divisive. Older generations, many of them, find it hard to stomach. They came up from nothing for years ago and appearto be came up from nothing for years ago and appear to be getting at least 596. And appear to be getting at least 5 . The polls suggest that they will have a place in parliament and we will find out in less than one hours time. Lets stick with the alternative for deutschland. Tell us about us leaders. The leaders. It is wrong to say that the populist movement is homogenous. With the likes of Marine Le Pen in france, the Front National. When you look at the leadership of the alternative for deutschland, one of the leaders left and decided she wa nted the leaders left and decided she wanted to go another way. Perhaps harder to the right of the party. The latter bit of a crossroads right 110w. The latter bit of a crossroads right now. People in berlin were happy. Now. People in berlin were this Party Started off with nothing to do with islam and asylum. It was about the economy. It was post grease that this party formed to say, we want to have a better europe, one germany is costly bailing out. Constantly. It seems that Angela Merkel has slipped in the migration crisis but she has improved there. We will see what happens with this party. The Front National saw 11 million voters. 5 year would see the afd with a million voters. And well be bringing you a special Programme Live from berlin as the polls close including reaction to the first exit polls here on the bbc news channel. Make sure you tune in. Thats from 5pm to 6. 55pm this evening. That is in under an hour. The war of words between President Trump and north korea has intensified further. Us President Donald Trump has made new threats against north korea in response to the countrys Foreign Ministers fiery speech at the un on saturday. Ri yong ho described mr trump as a mentally deranged person on a suicide mission. The us president responded by saying mr ri and north Korean Leader kim jong un wont be around much longer if they continue their rhetoric. The fresh insults came as us bombers flew close to north koreas east coast. 0ur correspondent, danny savage, gave us this update from the south korean capital, seoul. For years, the north koreans have been very noisy with their rhetoric and the criticisms of the united states, and inflaming feelings at home in north korea of america being their greatest enemy and the great satan, if you like. What we now have, whats different now, is that donald trump has risen to the bait, because past us president s have never used this sort of language. Theyve just used diplomatic channels and not risen to the criticism or fired verbally back. Donald trump is, and its not really helping, i think many observers would be united in saying. Him doing this isjust pushing the temperature up on this whole episode, and i think many people are just wishing he would stop tweeting all these strong words, stop using such strong words, and perhaps take a step back and go back to the diplomatic channels and people talking behind the scenes and trying to get things there a bit more calm.

Police were called to a Shopping Centre near westfield in stratford last night, following reports a group of men were spraying a noxious substance. A 15 year old boy has been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. Simon clemison has the details. Last nights attack was in stratford in east london, but it is now one among many. Police say during an argument between two groups at the stratford Shopping Centre what they call a noxious substance was thrown. Medics arrived and the injured were treated at the scene. A witness said one man ran into a nearby restaurant toilet to try to wash acid from his face. Six people were hurt with three having to be taken to hospital. No one is believed to be in a life threatening condition, but it has left some of those living here shaken. I think its scary and disgusting and its horrible that people cant walk and be safe any more. Now that happened im concerned because i live here, i work here, im here most of the time. So im a bit concerned. There had been an initial suggestion that the attacks were random, but officers say the incident was confined to the two groups. The teenager arrested is 15 and is being held on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. The uk coastguard is carrying out complex rescue after man fell down a disused mine shaft in cornwall.

Lands end and penzance coastguard rescue teams as well as the uk coastguard search and rescue helicopter based at newquay have been sent to the scene. Prince harry has opened this yea rs Invictus Games in canadas largest city, toronto. The tournament sees injured Service Personnel compete in 12 sports over eight days. His girlfriend, actress meghan markle, was also at the ceremony marking her first appearance at an official engagement also attended by the prince. Sarah campbell is there. More than 550 competitors from 17 nations, cheered on by friends and family. The games were prince harrys idea. This the third such event which aims to use sport to help the process of recovery. As the teams filed in, prince harry watched from the vip area next to the first lady, and spotted, a couple of rows down and around 18 seats across, his girlfriend meghan markle, the actress and campaigner who has been dating harry for a little over a year. Ms markle lives and works in the city, and so it would have perhaps seemed odd if she hadnt turned up. Kensington palace have refused to comment on her appearance, adding that half of toronto is here anyway, and that may be true, but this still has to be seen as a significant public acknowledgement of the seriousness of their relationship. Of course, this ceremony was about the games and the competitors who have gone through so much to get this far. There was a lot of respect here for what prince harry has created, and his passion for the games is clear. Some of you have overcome emotional challenges that until very recent years would have seen you written off and ignored. And now you are here, on the world stage, flags on your chests, representing your countries again. Over the next eight days, across 12 sports, these men and women will inspire others in what promises to be the biggest Invictus Games yet. Almost a century ago, a group of working class people began an art club in londons industrial east end. From shops to slums, they captured their everyday lives in paint. Despite their early success though, much of the east london groups artwork hasnt been seen by the public for decades. But, as nick higham has been finding out, its now being rediscovered and put on show. An east london canal, an unlikely scene for a brilliant painting. The artist is equally unlikely, he was a clerk for a shipping firm. This was painted by a window cleaner. This eerie street scene by an errand boy. This was the work of a printer. The man who painted this was unemployed, and a basket maker painted this view from his back window. They were known as the east london group. Today, these working class painters of londons shabby, industrial east end are largely forgotten. This exhibition at southampton city art gallery aims to revive their reputation, a band of artists who saw the extraordinary in the everyday. There are views and images that most artists might not choose to paint, but because they saw beauty in what they knew, that is what they painted. They painted in and around the mile end and bow road and bow generally but their work ended up on sale in the west end, at virtually the most prestigious gallery of the time. Today, the east london they painted is unrecognisable. This railway bridge in the bow road is still there but the traffic is modern. Grace 0scroft painted these houses across the road from the shop where she worked. They are still there, but onlyjust. The groups work is a record of a world that has largely vanished. Most of the places they painted, with a handful of exceptions, have long since been destroyed by wartime bombing or post war redevelopment. Albert turpin was a wartime auxiliary fireman. In peace time, he was a window cleaner and another member of the group, as well as a firebrand socialist and post war mayor of bethnal green. An exhibition devoted to his work opens later this week. The curator says the east london group deliberately chose unfashionable subjects. Why would you paint shabbiness, why would you paint the places people say they want to get out of because they are slums . It is perverse but also very interesting and wonderful. Turpins daughterjoan recalls a man who was forever sketching fellow councillors, his family, the streets around him. But much of his work, especially that from the 1930s and a0s, has vanished. When he died, there were some stored in a shed in the flats where we lived in bethnal green. I am afraid, like lots of people do, my mum decided she wanted to clear it out, and so they got thrown away. But many more east london Group Paintings have disappeared. More than 700 were exhibited in the 1930s. Today, just over 100 are known. The rest, perhaps on walls or in attics up and down the country, still await rediscovery. Lets find out how the weather is looking. It has been a contrast in the across the country. The west and east divide with the best of the sunshine in east england and temperatures peaking in the low 20s. Further west, a weather front brought cloud and enterprise rain. Mostly light, heavy bursts in scotland. Through the night it it moves into the midlands and south in the as well. File could be dense and places in northern ireland. That could be slow to left. This weather front sits through the spine of the country through the spine of the country through the spine of the country through the day. There is the odd spot to drizzle and a drab afternoon under the front. With sunshine at either side, under the front. With sunshine at eitherside, decent spells under the front. With sunshine at either side, decent spells will make it feel pleasantly warm. 1a 20dc not out of the question. It looks like fog could be a question again as we move into tuesday morning. But a quiet story with sunny spells. Wet and windy weather starts
