Saying the people of scotland mustnt be kept in the union against their will. You cannot just lock us in a cupboard and turn the key and hope that everything goes away. Delegates at un climate talks in madrid struggle to reach agreement, in a bid to tackle global warming. A british man has been killed and his son wounded, after being shot during a suspected robbery, outside a five star hotel in buenos aires. And in half an hour here on bbc news, black sea blues takes a look at how the polluted sea is starting to recover, after a Major International clean up effort. Good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. Jeremy corbyn and John Mcdonnell have apologised over labours defeat in thursdays election, which saw them lose 59 seats. Mr corbyn said he was sorry that they came up short, while mr mcdonnell told the bbc he owns this disaster. Speaking to the bbcs andrew marr, he said it was unfortunate the party hadnt been able to articulate its message more effectively. He also blamed the medias portrayal ofJeremy Corbyn, insisting that hed been demonised for four years solid. Heres our Political Correspondent tony bonsignore. Three days on and labour is still trying to work out what went so catastrophically wrong. Im just sorry that weve let some people down. In todays observer, Jeremy Corbyn gave an apology. We have suffered a heavy defeat and i take my responsibility for it. But the labour leader remains convinced that the campaign wasnt a total failure. Im proud, he says, that on austerity, on corporate power, on inequality and on the climate emergency, we have won the argument and rewritten the terms of political debate. From the shadow chancellor this morning, a fuller apology. Let me make it clear that it is on me, it is on me, lets take it on the chin. I own this disaster. But again, a belief that the core message was a good one. And other factors were also to blame. I think it was brexit that did it. We were in this dilemma, we couldnt move either way or if we did and we tried to compromise, it didnt work. That is the first thing. The second, we have to recognise that, look, the media did a number onjeremy forfour years solid, everyday. Attention is now turning to the election of the next labour leader early next year. Many, including John Mcdonnell, think it should be a woman. Some argue it should be someone who represents a break with the current leadership. Wigan mp, lisa nandy, says she is seriously considering running. We have to think seriously about how we rebuild that coalition that has propelled us into power three times in the last 100 years. The lewishams and the leighs and how you speak for both. I think i definitely have a contribution to make, i come from one part of that coalition, i have lived in and represented another part for the last decade. Before that election, it is back to business in the commons. Later this week, it is the queens speech and shortly after that, borisjohnsons brexit deal is expected to be passed by mps. Our intention is to bring the withdrawal bill, the legislation, back to parliament before christmas. This week . Ideally before christmas but as as soon as possible would be perfect. Obviously those conversations are happening between the relevant parties and the house authorities as we speak. But it is not all plain sailing for the conservatives. Even without brexit, there is a looming row with the other big winners on thursday, the snp. They want another independence referendum. Borisjohnson has ruled it out. If he thinks saying no is the end of the matter than he is going to find himself completely and utterly wrong and he cannot, as i was saying yesterday and again it is quite a fundamental point of democracy, you cannot hold scotland in the union against its will. As a new crop of mps prepare to take their seats, the only certainty is that more tough decisions lie ahead. Tony bonsignore, bbc news. With me now isjill rutter from the think tank uk in a changing europe. Shes also a former senior Civil Servant who worked across a number across a number of departments. Lets start with brexit. Yesterday the Prime Minister was saying he was confident of getting the legislation through by christmas. Optimistic . He wont get it free by christmas. I think it can be pretty confident he will get his legislation through by the end of january. Will get his legislation through by the end ofjanuary. The European Parliament will ratify the deal. We saw the european council, on friday, that the leaders are keen to get on with it. They have a government with a big majority. They want to move on as well. 31st of january . That betterjanuary i think is pretty much a done deal. Then the next problem is trade deals. Some think that mrjohnson, because he had this huge parliamentary majority, canal pretty much play this as he liked and that his instincts are more towards a brexit. Others think he is big in his pomp and a strong point in any Prime Ministers premiership that he can afford to play hardball. What would your perception be on that . The truth is we dont know. The truth about getting brexit done was incredibly vague about the future relationships. Itjust set out what we dont want, no extension to the deadline and others. We have seen that the Prime Minister is not necessarily bound by his commitments but that was setting us is the cause ofa but that was setting us is the cause of a pretty loose relationship with the eu. Bizarrely for conservative ma nifesto the eu. Bizarrely for conservative manifesto didnt mention security confirmation and i think some people are think you can now face down the erg. It is down to the Prime Minister. It is his government and are certainly for the next couple of yea rs, are certainly for the next couple of years, he is in command so if he wa nts to years, he is in command so if he wants to move it towards a softer brexit, he could. Actually, there is no real evidence he wants to. After all, he resigned over at theresa mays deal. That was the door to a softer brexit if he wanted it and he decided to eject himself out of government rather than go through that door with her. Lets talk about Something Else there is a lot of coverage on in the newspapers this morning. That is that the Prime Minister is being encouraged to think radical thoughts about whitehall. He is not the first to do that, they often dont come to anything. What is your reading about that seeing as he has Dominic Cummings in his office . Wee all sightly know that Dominic Cummings is keen on reforming whitehall, also keen on reforming the civil service. There is a big agenda on reforming civil service, bringing there is a big agenda on reforming civilservice, bringing in there is a big agenda on reforming civil service, bringing in business people, more political appointments so you get more people who are supportive of the governments gender rather than impartial civil service, quite a big constitutional change. That might be the cummings agenda. With a science agenda,. He has got a point. I think the other thing is about whether there is going to be a Big Government changes will stop its pretty clear that the Prime Minister is probably going to make a symbolic act of getting rid of the department for exiting the eu. It will be interesting to see if it goes much further. The thing about government changes is that they cannot be worth doing if you do them for the right reasons if you think that they are going to last but they are very disruptive in the short run, they cost quite a lot of money. You basically disrupt your top management for a while when they do anything like sought out computer systems, talk to each other, sort out the money, sorting out the staffing and things like that so you only really get dividends from it if they last and so dont do it and think im going to chop everything up think im going to chop everything up and do it again in a year. Quite often, you find you do governments change to solve one problem, that we havent got a coherent policy on x, it would be better if one department had an overview on energy and climate change. So they created that department. When you create one borderline, you solve one problem but use same to create other borderlines so it is quite interesting. One thing they are talking about is a big new trade department. The Biggest Issue properly and trade negotiation is going to be agriculture, is agriculture coming into that . Biggest uk offensive interest in trade negotiations is going to be financial services. Those actually, at the moment, the response ability of the treasury. Quite hard to see the treasury yielding up anything . It is very noticeable that the treasury is basically immune from reorganisation. There is that. Tha nkfully reorganisation. There is that. Thankfully the treasury saw that one off so it is very interesting to see. Interesting also that if the Prime Minister really follows through on some of the things that are being briefed, briefings havent a lwa ys are being briefed, briefings havent always been the best guide to what actually happens. They do decide to dramatically reduce the number of cabinet ministers, the uk has a ludicrous number of ministers compared to others. Over 100. Yes, but people have found that useful as a way of rewarding people are keeping the pile t loyal because thatis keeping the pile t loyal because that is the payroll stuck keeping the party loyal. Down the line, if he has taken some rough and tumble blows he might want to find some of those jobs and certainly David Cameron found in the coalition that some of his biggest opponents were people in the conservative party is he shadow ministers, thought they we re he shadow ministers, thought they were getting to government and then had to be discarded for the lib dems. No danger of that for now given the size of the majority. Negotiators have reached a compromise at the un climate talks in madrid. They extended their stay in the spanish capital for two extra days to try to resolve divisions on how to implement the 2016 paris climate agreement. One contentious issue is how to compensate developing countries affected by climate change. The Pacific Island nation tuvalu accused the us of trying to block a deal. Heres the negotiator, ian fry. If they get their way with the governance of the whim, they will wash their hands of any actions to assist countries that have been affected by the impacts of climate change. This is an absolute tragedy and a travesty. On those affected by the impacts of climate change. There are millions of people, all around the world, who are already suffering from the impacts of climate change. Denying this fact could be interpreted by some to be a crime against humanity. We can speak to our environment correspondent matt mcgrath who is at the conference in madrid. What has been the major stumbling block . The real difficulty here has it been this question of ambition. How much the country up their game if you like to what they promised in paris in 2015 to tackle the urgency of the science . All countries put a plan on table in paris, some of them strong, some of them not so strong. The idea is that they have come into madrid and then in glasgow next year to improve those plans. Getting an agreement on that proved very difficult for top a lot of countries, the eu and small island states are very keen on high ambition. Others, including the us and australia and brazil were not so keen. Ultimately, they have made a compromise, there will be encouragement by all countries to address the gap between what the science is telling us and what the emissions of plans at the moment are doing and that should lead to some more improved plans on the table by the end of next year. A lot of criticism presumably from that one wedding from campaign is . L criticism presumably from that one wedding from campaign is . A lot of campaigners think it is a missed opportunity here in madrid. They had hoped that given the presence of greta, the country just hoped that given the presence of greta, the countryjust seize the moment and steps forward boldly but nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. It is by and. Some of the biggest countries did a lot of blocking but ultimately they kept the show on the road. It lives to fight again. That will be in glasgow next year and they hope it many of the campaigners is that the uk government can steer a better ship.

One of the people injured in last weeks volcanic eruption on white island in new zealand has died in hospital in sydney. It brings the confirmed death toll to 16. Rescue teams returned to white island earlier today but couldnt find the bodies of two people who are still missing. Our correspondent phil mercer is following the story from sydney. 18 people now 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 that volcanic island today, sunday, to once again look for two bodies. There are two more victims who have been unaccounted for. The 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 2a hours after the eruption. So on friday, recovery teams brought out six bodies, but the search goes on for those two others. That search includes people being flown to the island to carry out this painstaking search in what 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 again unsuccessfully for one of those two remaining victims. At 2 11 in the afternoon tomorrow in new zealand, the Prime Minister, jacinda 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 in new zealand. Some of those survivors have the most appalling of injuries, suffering burns of up to 90 of their bodies. Also, internal burns too. It is a great challenge for very skilled professionals in new zealand and australia to keep those people alive and help them recover. On monday, just after 2 oclock in the afternoon, new zealand and people elsewhere, you would have to say, will pause to remember a tragedy that took place exactly one week ago when that minutes silence is observed. Cruelty free fake leathers arent always the best choice for the environment as they usually involve some kind of plastic. But now a bag design firm in the east of england thinks its found a more environmentally friendly option, using pineapples. Lee madden reports. Picking pineapples can be arduous, heavy work, often with little reward. The price paid for each individual fruit is a fraction of a penny. The leaves from pineapple plants are usually thrown away. A use for them has now been found, turning the leaves into fabric which provides some extra income for workers. I think everybody was quite surprised that the fabric was made of pineapple, because it does not smell like pineapple. Its not spiky, and its got a nice texture to it. So yeah, it is quite an unusual thing to be working with. To make the fabric, fibres are extracted from the leaves. These get sent from the philippines to spain. Once there, machinists complete the process of turning them into a material which has been named pinatex. An online shop based in cambridge has begun using pinatex to create handbags, satchels and purses. I dont think we are jumping on any form of trend, i think its a personal responsibility to look at how we consume products across the board, notjust in fashion and thats something that we would like to help provide an option for our clients and customers. The vegan label means it does not use or contain any animal products. People are, you know, loving that it is vegan. It is just amazing. Really, really pleased that Something Else is being used and it is so easy to work with, really. And these are the finished bags. If you want one, they will set you back around £137. The texture is slightly crinkled, not too different to some leathers. As manufacturers become more confident using the material, it is hoped more items will be made out of it in future, making use of pineapple leaves that were otherwise destined to be wasted. In 1939, a young jewish man fled nazi germany and arrived in england. Before doing anything else, he went straight to see a leeds united football match. Heinz skyte has supported the club ever since, and now the 99 year old has been honoured in a special pitch side ceremony. Olivia richwald has the story. Heinz skyte and leeds united go back a very long way. Back, in fact, to 1939, when heinz arrived in leeds as a 19 year old jewish refugee. His brother, frank, took him straight to watch leeds united. I arrived in leeds at lunchtime on a saturday and went straight to elland road, before we went home. So that was my first match. Heinz was a season Ticket Holder for decades. The club has just celebrated its centenary and heinz marks his 100th birthday in february. At yesterdays match against cardiff, he was presented with a personalised shirt and scarf in a pitchside ceremony. How do you feel to be here today . Cold theyre doing better than they used to. We want them up in the first division. Heinzs story is remarkable. On the 9th of november 1938, his father was one of 30,000 jewish men and boys who were arrested and sent to concentration camps. The evening was known as kristallnacht, the night of the broken glass, because hundreds of synagogues were burnt and businesses destroyed. I saw the smoke from the burning synagogues and people were arrested, frogmarched through the streets. And of course, they came for me as well, but i was not there. Heinz evaded the nazis that night by hiding on a bench in a park and escaped to leeds a few months later. Heinz and his brother eventually helped their parents escape nazi germany, too, but they did lose other family in the holocaust. Heinz became a british citizen two years after the end of the war and has supported his local Football Club ever since. I feel very proud that he has been honoured and the club have done him proud and hopefully he has done the club proud. A fabulous story, that.
