Wins Sports Personality of the year. And well be taking another look at the papers with political commentator and former head of press under david cameron, Giles Kenningham and the Political Writer and academic, maya goodfellow. Good evening. Labours leaders have apologised for the partys defeat in the general election, which saw them lose 59 seats. Jeremy corbyn said he was sorry they came up short. Speaking to the bbcs andrew marr, shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell, said he owns this disaster and that he regretted the party wasnt able to articulate its message more effectively. But he also blamed brexit, and the medias portrayal ofjeremy corbyn insisting that hed been demonised. Tonight, labour suggested that the process to elect a new leader could begin onjanuary 7th, as nick eardley reports. Thejeremy corbyn era is coming to an end, but what will that mean for the labour party . How much does it need to change after its disastrous election result . This morning, mr corbyn said he took his responsibility. His right hand man went further. Its on me. Lets take it on the chin. I own this disaster. So i apologise. I apologise to all those wonderful labour mps whove lost their seats who worked so hard. I apologise to all our campaigners. But that apology only goes so far. The outgoing leadership say they made mistakes, but they blame brexit, believe they were demonised by the media and insist on their radical policy agenda was popular. If there was one criticism, and this is a self criticism, its not having a narrative that convinced people about how this all fitted together. Mr corbyn wants his successor in place by the end of march, and the process of electing his replacement could begin in early january. Before that, though, on tuesday, labour mps will meet for their election postmortem, and some want the leader to go sooner. The battle for the labour leadership is likely to be bruising, because there are vastly different interpretations of what went wrong. Some want a leader who will continue with mr corbyns message, butjust find a better way of selling it. Others want a leader who will drag the party back to the political centre. Others still want a leader who can appeal to the north, who can say to those labour voters who abandoned the party for the conservatives over brexit, we understand you. The wigan mp lisa nandy says shes thinking about running. Weve just had the most shattering defeat where you really felt in towns like mine that the earth was quaking. And weve watched the entire labour base just crumble beneath our feet. We have to think seriously about how we rebuild that coalition that has propelled us into power three times in the last hundred years. The lewishams and the leighs, and how you speak for both. There are other big ramifications from thursdays vote, too. Independence has shot up the agenda after the snps victory in scotland. The uk government says the last independence vote should be respected. Nicola sturgeon says she has a mandate for a new one. You cannot hold scotland in the union against its will. You cannot sort ofjust lock us in a cupboard and turn the key and hope that everything goes away. If the union, if the United Kingdom is to continue, then it can only be by consent. Boris johnsons government meanwhile prepares to get down to business. On thursday there will be a queens speech with a focus on the nhs, and yes, delivering brexit next month. Our intention is to bring the withdrawal bill, the legislation, back to parliament before christmas. This week . Ideally before christmas, as soon as possible would be perfect. New mps will start to arrive here tomorrow to a very different political landscape. Some questions, like will brexit happen, have been answered. Others, like the future of labour and perhaps the uk, are being asked as loudly as ever. Nick eardley, bbc news. The longest session of un climate talks ever held has come to an end in madrid. After an extra two days and nights of talks, all countries agreed to develop tougher carbon cutting plans in time for another major conference next year hosted by the uk, in glasgow. Todays deal, seen as a compromise, has been criticised by the un secretary general as a lost opportunity. Our science editor David Shukman has the details. We are starting to get a little lost. We are kind of lost. 0k. Confusion and fatigue after the longest session of climate negotiations on record. We are a little confused about what documents are being discussed. The hope had been to speed up the fight against rising temperatures. Instead, the talks limped to a compromise that left many unhappy. Especially the island nations that fear for their futures. Im exhausted. Ifeel like much, much more could have been done. And im thinking about how im going to go home and explain that this was a really, really challenging process, especially for the island states and other developing nations. The gases driving up temperatures are being blasted out in ever greater quantities. And the most Vulnerable Countries were banking on getting new promises to cut these emissions. Their worry is that a hotter world will see more and a higher sea level, threatening coastlines around the world. The whole point of these talks over the last quarter of a century has been to try to stop Global Temperatures from rising to dangerous levels. The world has already warmed byjust over one celsius over the last 150 years. And a rise of up to 1. 5 degrees is regarded as the maximum safe limit. But even with all the pledges that countries have made on Climate Change, were still heading for an increase of at least three degrees despite all these conferences. So, what happens now . The worlds biggest polluter china is still using coal, the dirtiest kind of fuel, and has plans to burn a lot more of it. But there are hints that next year we will see a greener chinese policy emerge. Applause. That would help the uk. The former minister clare oneil is now in the chair of the un process. Shell need plenty of support ahead of the next summit due in glasgow next november. One of the things at this moment which made it more difficult for the uk is the fact they have a much tighter set of negotiating items they will have to deal with next year but the actual lift in terms of delivering more action was always going to be a big lift and they cant do it on their own. And all the time, reminders of the threat. Australia is enduring unprecedented bushfires and the coming days there could also see record heat. David shukman, bbc news.

We have a business to run first, but im looking at all the families around the area, maybe with kids as well or old people, water is a primary need and we really need it. An air lock is unusual and is very difficult to resolve. First of all you need to find it and then remove it from the network.
