And coming up on bbc news, Jose Mourinho looks to take tottenham into the Champions League knockout stages later by beating olympiakos in his first home match in charge. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. Britains most seniorjewish leader has questioned Jeremy Corbyns fitness to be Prime Minister, saying that a new poison of anti semitism had taken root in the party, sanctioned as he put it from the very top. In an outspoken intervention in the general Election Campaign, the chief rabbi Ephraim Mirvis described labours claim to have dealt with allegations of anti semitism as a fiction and he urged people to vote with their conscience. Labour defended its leader, calling him a life long campaigner against anti semitism. Jess parker reports. Not the backdrop the labour party wa nted not the backdrop the labour party wanted outside the launch of its race and faith manifesto. It comes as this man, the chief rabbi Ephraim Mirvis questioned Jeremy Corbyn s fitness to be Prime Minister. In the Times Newspaper at the chief rabbi rights he adds but viewers may vary on what a Labour Government would mean for the Jewish Community. What i think is critical, people will feel increasingly uncomfortable and will look for ways of either moving or having a place somewhere else or whatever they can possibly do to mitigate what feels oppressive, uncomfortable, dangerous. Theres a lot of pain in the Jewish Community andl lot of pain in the Jewish Community and i think there are yes, but i think the concerns are legitimate up toa think the concerns are legitimate up to a point but beyond that, they are misplaced and i think they are misplaced and i think they are misplaced in so far as the chief rabbi has gone too far. Boris johnson has faced criticism for his handling of islamophobia allegations. To date the Muslim Council of britain accused the conservatives of approaching the issue with denial and deceit. We wa nt to issue with denial and deceit. We want to ensure the conservative party has robust procedures, we think that we do but we want to check that, to determine that, which is why we are committed to this independent review by the end of this year. Just call on me the labour party described its manifesto as ambitious, tra nsformative, it described its manifesto as ambitious, transformative, it wants to hold an independent review of far right extremism, establish better protections for places of worship. More broadly, tackle pay discrimination based on race and teach children about colonialism and the role of the british empire. But asjeremy the role of the british empire. But as Jeremy Corbyn the role of the british empire. But asJeremy Corbyn arrived at the event a short while ago, it was clear todaypos mac lunch had become overshadowed. I think its so appropriate we should be able to launch our race and faith manifesto here today and im very proud to do that. This document is one thats been produced by us, the labour party, sadly, the whole of the Tory Party Manifesto doesnt mention any of the issues that were included in this, not one mention whatsoever. The overall narrative here may feel rather familiar. Labour insists the overall narrative here may feel ratherfamiliar. Labour insists its taking robust action, critics say thats not the case. Whats different, the manner and tone of this intervention from the chief rabbi in the middle of a general Election Campaign. The chief rabbi has criticised the labour party before, meanwhile the equality and Human Rights Commission investigation into the party is ongoing but timing is everything in this intervention comes at a moment whenjeremy this intervention comes at a moment when Jeremy Corbyn this intervention comes at a moment whenJeremy Corbyn is trying to build trust with voters. Jessica parker, bbc news. Our assistant Political Editor norman smith is in north london. Norman, both the main parties are under attack here but the labour party really coming under pressure today . Jeremy corbyn is on his feet at the moment. Hes spoken of how he views anti semitism as vile, evil, and hes pledged, if Prime Minister, to ensure adequate protection for synagogues and mosques, labour Party Officials have spoken of how theyve introduced fast track disciplinary processes , introduced fast track disciplinary processes, how the allegations of anti semitism only relate to a tiny minority of Labour Party Members but you know what . Robert lee wont make a blind bit of difference and the reason is, this whole anti semitism crisis has been going on for months, for years, under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn and again and again and again, whatever he says has failed to satisfy his critics in the Jewish Community and he has failed to allay their concerns and damaging as this is, because of the language used by the chief rabbi and the ferocity of his criticism, it probably wont shift any votes in the Jewish Community change attitudes. The real damage, it seems to me, is that it flags up again in the middle of the Election Campaign, questions over the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn. We note the conservatives want to make that a central issue, weve seen it bubbling away in some of the live debates and some of the question time formats, weve seen glimmers of it when people have questioned why Jeremy Corbyn cannot give a lead on brexit and say where he stands but the chief rabbi has really added another edge to it, by not questioning their mccubbin s leadership in terms of his judgment or decisiveness, but in terms of his moral authority to be Prime Minister. Norman, many thanks. Our assista nt minister. Norman, many thanks. Our assistant Political Editor norman smith. The former conservative deputy Prime Minister lord heseltine has urged voters to back either independent candidates or the liberal democrats saying that borisjohnsons brexit policy would be utterly disastrous. Borisjohnson is in fife, launching his pa rtys scottish conservative manifesto. Our Political Correspondent ben wright is there. There is certainly, an extraordinary intervention by lord heseltine. Borisjohnson is intervention by lord heseltine. Boris johnson is here, intervention by lord heseltine. Borisjohnson is here, in fife, the new queensberry crossing, the new queensberry crossing, you probably cannot see it through the mark, he is upstairs launching the tory party ma nifesto for is upstairs launching the Tory Party Manifesto for scotland, the message is not really focused on brexit, it is not really focused on brexit, it is on the conservative party s opposition to a second independence referendum. Scotland of course, the majority of voters here voted to remain in the Eu Referendum so i dont think its got the same emphasis by the tory party appear as it does south of the border. But brexit certainly featuring today, after that intervention by lord heseltine who said that Boris Johnson s promised that he can get a whole new trade deal done with the eu by the end of next year was nonsense. This is what lord heseltine said. The damage to our economy, our position in the world, our ability to have a voice in what is happening in this century on the great issues is seriously undermined by fracturing our relationship with europe and so, on a simple question of britain s self interest, its quite an easy decision to take and i have made it clearfrom quite an easy decision to take and i have made it clear from the day after the referendum, that i would be part of the fightback to maintain the traditional position of the conservative party towards europe. Lord heseltine, who of course, had big roles in the governments of Margaret Thatcher and john major, is a tory peer or was until he had the whip removed earlier this year after saying he would vote the lib dems and the european elections. There is no love lost at the moment between borisjohnson no love lost at the moment between Boris Johnson and lord no love lost at the moment between borisjohnson and lord heseltine, they have totally divergent views when it comes to brexit and im sure today Boris Johnson when it comes to brexit and im sure today borisjohnson will try when it comes to brexit and im sure today Boris Johnson will try and spot it away which is exactly what michael gove, one of his cabinet collea g u es michael gove, one of his cabinet colleagues tried to do earlier. The one area i respectfully disagree with michael is in europe, michael has been a long time advocate of further european integration, hes a believer in the single currency, he wanted us to join the euro, believer in the single currency, he wanted us tojoin the euro, very believer in the single currency, he wanted us to join the euro, very few people take that view now. On this particular question, michael i think, advised people to vote liberal democrat the european elections so in that sense he is consistent but i do think hes wrong on this. Taking questions a few minutes ago at this launch, Boris Johnson said there was a tight timetable to get the new trade deal in place by the end of next year which is something he has pledged. Many are very sceptical it can be done considering how long these complicated trade negotiations take andi complicated trade negotiations take and i think lord heseltine s intervention really puts the pressure on Boris Johnson intervention really puts the pressure on borisjohnson to now explain in the remainder of this campaign, how he plans to achieve that and what he wants to get. Lets take a look at some of todays other election news the liberal democrats leaderjo swinson has been out on the campaign trail this morning. Announcing what she called a war on plastic, the party leader visited a cornish Sustainable Clothing business, finisterre, in st agnes in north cornwall. She was given a tour of the companys workshop which has been working to improve sustainability and the reuse of plastics. Liberal democrats are determined to protect our marine environment, to make sure that we break the addiction that we have with plastics. And be much more ambitious on how quickly we get rid of single use, unessential plastics and move to a much more circular economy. Across the bbc we will be asking what questions you would like answered in this Election Campaign. Send us your question at hashtag bbcyourquestions or email yourquestions bbc. Co. Uk. And well also have more on the election coming up later in the programme. The world will fail to meet its goal of avoiding Dangerous Levels of Global Warming unless it increases its ambitions to cut Carbon Emissions five fold over the next decade thats the warning from the united nations. Its annual report says greenhouse emissions will have to be cut by nearly eight percent every year with developed countries needing to act immediately. Our environment correspondent matt mcgrath reports. Fires rage in the amazon in brazil. This year has seen a major surge in burning and forest clearing. As a result of all the carbon being released, the un says it will be difficult for brazil to meet its climate pledges. Its a similar story in many countries, with deforestation in africa and asia helping co2 concentrations in the atmosphere rise to a new record high in 2019. Scientists agree that all this carbon is changing our climate, and the impacts are being seen across the world as ice melts, storms surge and flood waters rise, threatening cities like venice. But if Global Temperatures rise by more than 1. 5 celsius this century, the effect on the planet could be devastating. To have any chance of keeping under this limit, the un says the carbon cutting promises made by countries must increase massively over the next ten years. What we are trying to do is amplify the challenge we have in front of us, that if we still want to Start Talking or continue talking about one and a half degree as the highest temperature increase we will accept, then basically countries in the next ten years have to reduce their emissions by 55 . So a little over half of current emissions, which is an immense challenge. To put the challenge in context, over the last decade, global emissions have gone up byi. 5 a year. To keep the world from dangerous warming, these emissions will have to fall by over 7 every year until 2030. So whats gone wrong . Almost every country in the world signed up to the paris climate agreement in 2015, but todays report says seven of the richest 20 nations including the us, canada and japan are not meeting the commitments they set themselves. The un says that all countries must put new and hugely improved carbon cutting plans on the table by the end of next year to have any real chance of meeting the 2030 target. There is one note of hope in todays assessment the costs of Renewable Energy have fallen massively in price over the last decade. If the world can move away from coal and rapidly embrace wind and solar, we might have a fighting chance of limiting the damage that Climate Change will inevitably do. Matt mcgrath, bbc news. The time isjust the time is just coming up to a quarter past one. Our top story this lunchtime the chief rabbi condemns labours handling of anti semitism, and questionsJeremy Corbyns fitness to lead the country. Mr corbyn says his party will not tolerate anti semitism. And coming up, sir andy murray speaks about his return to tennis after hip surgery, and why hes living life to the full, in a new documentary. Coming up on bbc news, the oval will host the opening game of crickets new hundred format. The oval invincibles will face the welsh fire live on the bbc injuly next year. Ajudge has ruled that a Primary School in birmingham, where parents and relatives staged protests against the teaching of lg bt relationships, is to have demonstrations outside its premises permanently banned. Thered been a temporary injunction on protests around anderton park since june, with parents and activists claiming lgbt relationship teaching contradicts their islamic faith and was not age appropriate. Our correspondent phil mackie is in birmingham. Yes, some of those protests were very noisy, quite boisterous. Occasionally i was there when there was a few dozen people, sometimes several hundred. The protesters, very few with him were parents of children at the school, claimed the school was promoting homosexuality which is neither age appropriate, and they also said it was against the religious beliefs of the vast majority of the parents who happen to be muslim. Today thejudge majority of the parents who happen to be muslim. Today the judge said they were not telling the truth, they were not telling the truth, they had misrepresented what was being taught in the school and he extended the temporary injunction which was introduced in the summer. It means there is an exclusion zone around the school, they need to tone things down and cannot shout at pa rents things down and cannot shout at parents and children as they arrived for lessons. After the hearing, we heard from the head teacher. What the case has shown was the real contract between what has always happened at anderton park and what was portrayed as happening. Everybody who knows the school knows what we do, it is part of our ethos and there was absolutely no promotion of any one type of anything, because we cant do that, that goes against equality and against the equality act. She told me the whole experience was like watching the news from a different country and she hoped things could now move on. Birmingham city council has described the protesters as a fringe element who had stoked divisions but we have heard from a news co nfe re nce divisions but we have heard from a News Conference that they held, saying they will continue to protest outside the exclusion zone and they claim the High Court Ruling in birmingham was biased against them. Studio thank you, phil mackie. Another man has been arrested on suspicion of the manslaughter of 39 vietnamese people found dead in a lorry in essex. The 36 year old from purfleet in essex is also being questioned on suspicion of conspiracy to traffic people and conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration. The man was arrested at a property in dalston in east london. Australian Police Searching for a missing british man who disappeared while camping have confirmed theyve found his body. 25 year old aslan king had been travelling with friends in a popular tourist region in victoria, where he was last seen at the weekend. Police say the cause of his death is still under investigation. A man charged over a stabbing at Manchester Victoria station has pleaded guilty to a terrorism offence and three counts of attempted murder. 26 year old Mahdi Mohamud attacked police and commuters at the station last new years eve. He will be sentenced at a later date. Its been a sporting comeback that few thought possible. But andy murrays return to tennis after hip surgery continues and in a new documentary, which had its premier last night, the double wimbledon champion says hes no longer playing to win grand slams, but is now enjoying life. Katie gornall reports. I was the number one tennis player in the world. And i couldnt walk. Ground down by the sport he loves. There have been many times when andy murray believed his career was over. I really want to keep going. But my body is telling me no. His only hope was pioneering hip surgery. And he invited cameras in to follow him. But what started out as a documentary of his recovery grew into something different. A comeback. I ended up almost finishing playing, basically. So this just didnt turn out how i expected. If someone had told me maybe two years ago this is what youre going to go through, would you film it . I probably would have said no, but it turned out very different. Just being back on court was a victory of sorts for murray ,and after extensive rehabilitation, he returned to competition, playing doubles up this years wimbledon before beating the odds to win the nearly stopped playing altogether. He now has a new trophy and a new outlook. You know, just totally changed me. I just felt much happier. Its not just about the winning and losing. You know, i started playing the sport when i was a kid because i loved it. And thats why im back playing now. Tennis has been a support for murray during some of his darkest moments. A pupil at dunblane during the 1996 school shooting, he explains in the film how the sport helped him cope in the aftermath of the tragedy. Trauma and adversity have moulded murray and help to explain why he works so hard at a sport he loves. Next up for him is the australian open. And hell return with something hes been missing in recent years, hope. He is one of these kids that if he puts his mind to something, he will absolutely max out on it so watch this space. Arguably britains greatest sportsmen, andy murray keeps adding unexpected chapters to his career. His story shows an extraordinary will to overcome. Katie gornall, bbc news. Throughout the Election Campaign, bbc news is looking closely at the places where the election could be won and lost. We are visiting 10 parts of the uk where seats will be closely contested. Today were in Milford Haven, which is in the Preseli Pembrokeshire constituency in South West Wales. This seat has been held by the conservatives since 2005, and is bordered by three other constituencies one conservative, and two plaid cymru. Labour held this seat from 1992 until 2005. Its been tory since then, but in 2017 their majority was just 314, with labour in second place. Neighbouring ceredigion is also a marginal seat plaid cymru took it from the liberal democrats at the last election by just 104 votes. Simon mccoy is in Milford Haven. Simon . Yes, welcome to Milford Haven in pembrokeshire a county in South West Wales that sees over four million tourists every year, an industry that supports 16,000 jobs. At the moment, it is wet and 20 and not many people are here at all, however. Wet and windy. Recent years, though, have seen a decline in overseas visitors and concern over second Home Ownership in the area. Wales is a nation that voted for brexit, with 57 of people in pembrokeshire voting to leave the eu in the 2016 referendum. Beyond that, what are the other issues on voters minds . Our correspondent Hywel Griffiths has been to a music night in the coastal town of fishguard. Folk night in fishguard, a welcome distraction from the sound and fury of the election. This western corner of wales can feel far from westminster. The decisions made there arent always in tune with life here. Issues like health and education are devolved to the Welsh Government in cardiff and so arent on the ballot, but theres plenty the mps can do. Ollie wants them to help small rural businesses. I think thatd have a bit of a shock if they came down and, you know, sort of spent an evening in fishguard. Its a lot different to the rat race up there. You know, in the winter, some nights well sell two or three meals, you know, and thats the dark times, thats the hard times. Youve got to work hard in the summer to make enough money to carry you through the winter. At this time of year, the coastline can feel dormant. Theres less money flowing around and, as in many parts of the country, there are more deep rooted concerns. Wales has higher levels of poverty than the rest of the uk and rising child poverty. Homeless or struggling to find places that they can afford to live, the number of people sleeping on the street has risen horribly and ijust think its appalling. Inevitably, there is another issue playing on many minds. Concerned about brexit, obviously. Bamboozled by the brexit thing. Brexit, ooh, i dont know. Theres no getting away from the b word here. Brexit could mean the sea off this coast becomes the new European Union border. Like most of wales, this constituency voted to leave the eu. And that would have a direct impact right here on all the cars and lorries that roll on and off of these ferries every day, twice a day, on the customs officials, with all their forms to fill, and on the local businesses, who import and export to the European Union. Farmers in particular are worried by the uncertainty. Brexit could mean facing new tariffs and the end of decades of Financial Support from the eu. 80 of welsh farmers rely on that subsidy payment at the moment in order to keep food cheap. Thats the concept behind it, and we have milk products that go to europe as well, so that would impact on us here as well, as a dairy farm. The Brexit Debate has changed how some people vote. This election could see more switching sides, making marginal seats like this one even more finely balanced. Hywel griffiths, bbc news, fishguard. Throughout the general Election Campaign we have been asking you to contact us with questions that you would like us to answer. Quite a number of you want to know why its not compulsory to vote in elections here in the uk when it is in more than a dozen other countries around the world. With nearly a million more people registering to vote in the past four days alone, our correspondent ben hunte spent some time here in pembrokeshire trying to find some answers. Pembrokeshire in november. This is a key marginal. Last time around, the mp here won byjust over 300 votes, but more than a quarter of people who were eligible to have their say didnt. So the question is, why isnt it compulsory to vote like in australia . In order to answer this question, the best place to start is for me to call our correspondent on a sunny beach in australia, shaimaa khalil. Hi, shaimaa. Hey, ben. Its coming up to the beginning of the summer here in queensland, and just look how gorgeous it is out here. Queensland is where compulsory voting was introduced more than 100 years ago, and thats why australia has one of the highest levels of Voter Participation in the world. More than 90 of eligible voters cast their ballots in this years election. Notjust because they love politics, its because, if they dont, they get hit with a fine of about £12. This brings up a debate here all the time, because people say, say, in a democracy, you shouldnt force people to do anything, including vote. Here in haverfordwest, mothers and their babies have come together for their weekly singing class. So, would they want to be forced to vote . Yeah, i think everybody should have to vote. A lot of people have sacrificed so that we have the right to vote, so i think if somebody doesnt use their vote, thats a real shame. If it was compulsory, i think that would be a really good idea. Youd get a much better idea of what everybody wanted to, and then you wouldnt get people whinging about the outcome when they havent been to vote in the first place. Actually, all of the mums we spoke to liked the idea of compulsory voting. However. People say its exciting in the sense that theres a lot at stake, right . This expert doesnt think the system will change anytime soon. We dont have compulsory voting here, but primarily because the big parties have never gotten behind it, right . I think theres a reason for that, which is that it would be quite costly in some ways to introduce, right . Youd have to set up this whole system of monitoring, youd have to be able to fine people. Its likely that youd just be forcing people who are disengaged to turn up and mark a piece of paper, and would that really represent an improvement to british democracy . Nobody knows what this years turnout will be, but since this december election was called, more than 3 million applications have been made to register to vote. Ben hunte, bbc news, pembrokeshire. And just a reminder that the deadline to register to vote on december 12th is at midnight tonight, and the deadline for new postal vote and postal proxy vote applications is five oclock this afternoon. However, it is too late to apply to vote by post or proxy if you live in northern ireland. For more information on cut off times and how to register just go to gov. Uk registertovote. Thats it from me here in pembrokeshire well have plenty more from South West Wales throughout the afternoon on the bbc news channel but, for now, back to reeta in the studio. Many thanks, simon. A couple from west sussex have been revealed as the winners of a £105 million euromillions jackpot. Steve and lenka thompson are the uks ninth biggest winners.
