you are saying best in london for over a0 yea rs saying best in london for over a0 years but worth saying that, when those results happen back in the early 70s, that gave labour about a296 early 70s, that gave labour about a2% of the vote on projected national share and stuart has only got 35. yes. i think it is fair to say the mood here is subdued. this is a group of people who are inside the labour party called progress. they we re labour party called progress. they were described themselves as on the moderate wing of the labour party. jeremy corbyn ‘s supporters were described them as being on the right. they are critical ofjeremy corbyn and that the labour party has taken to the left. they blame the fa ct taken to the left. they blame the fact labour has not taken big strides forwards in these elections onjeremy corbyn. just looking at the election results, yes, i can say they did take their best results since the early 70s here in london but around the country, in towns like nuneaton and derby, they really fell backwards, losing ground to the conservatives. this was an election whe

these councils in london. did the labour party actually say that? labour party actually say that? labour party politician was saying it was the press who put the expectations too high. they get their expectations from somebody and usually that is labour press officer. i did it for many years and thatis officer. i did it for many years and that is what you do. when you are setting the strategy for these elections, you want to try to under promise and overdeliver. you don't wa nt promise and overdeliver. you don't want to do at the other way around. they made a strategic mistake because these councils in london we re always because these councils in london were always going to be very, very difficult to take. historical strong tory places but to be fair to the labour operation, it wasn't an entire disaster. in wandsworth which isa entire disaster. in wandsworth which is a flagship conservative council, they came with about 80 votes of taking it. let's turn to the times. they are dealing with an inquest. he broug

london. at this juncture in our story, our national story, what is your view of the state of london? people moan about house prices, business and dirty air and all the rest of it. what is it you feel about the place you're trying to capture? i'm a londoner. i've lived in london all my life. it's such a rich and fascinating, wonderful place. it's so full of stories and history and beauty, but there's also another side to it that is quite ugly. it's a very difficult place to live. it's increasingly difficult — financially, socially. yet there is this desire in londoners to remain in london and there is this sense of this is our home. you say this story of ordinary lives, ordinary people and their lives, is a hopeful story, why? it is a hopeful story, because it's about the endurance of the human spirit and about the insistence on the human spirit to claim life and to claim a sense of fulfilment. so i'm trying to celebrate that in the book, as well, at the same time as acknowledging that it's

the city of london! the words they wanted to hear. london had won the contest to host the 2012 olympics and it was tessa jowell who championed the bid from the start. i am tessa jowell, olympic minister. she went on to oversee preparations for the games and laid the foundations for the capital's greatest sporting event. tessa jowell was first elected to parliament in 1992 in the south london seat of dulwich, after spending time as a social worker and counsellor. she was then one ofjust 60 female mps in the commons. a new labour stalwart, tessa jowell was a popular figure in all circles, but was one of tony blair's strongest supporters. after spells of public health and then education minister, she joined the cabinet in 2001 as culture secretary, overseeing the relaxation of gambling and licensing laws and persuading her colleagues to back the olympic pitch. you deny you took a bribe? absolutely, absolutely. she married the lawyer david mills, but they separated in 2006 after controversy. over his business dealings. she was cleared of

now, it's time for dateline london with jane hill. hello and welcome to dateline london, i'mjane hill. this week we discuss just how welcome donald trump will be in the uk in a few weeks‘ time after his inflammatory comments about knife crime in the capital, and how strong is theresa may's position going into the next brexit talks, given the election results in england this week? my guests this week — the times columnist david aaronovitch. the north american writer and broadcaster jeffrey kofman. .. marc roche from le point, formerly london correspondent of le monde... and the italian writer and film maker analisa piras. welcome to you all. good to see you. president trump has been defending the use of guns in america — that in itself, not surprising. but this time he's done it by comparing a london hospital to a war zone because of knife crime. he told the national rifle association that the restrictive gun laws here in the uk have failed to stop a spate of stabbings leading to "blood all over the floors". he also said the terr

of london, and gaining in side london. here is a nugget for you. certainly what is true is that in wards which are ethnically diverse, the conservative vote is not going up as much as those which are more white, the opposite is true for labour, why is this case? it comes back to this pattern that liam fox seems keen to deny, but in truth is written all over these results, which is that in areas where there were leave vote, in 2016 and which swung to the conservatives in last year's general election and which tend not to be ethnically diverse which find the conservatives doing relatively well. conversely more ethnically diverse areas which tend to remain areas are areas which tend to remain areas are are where the conservatives are finding life more difficult. one of consequences is finding life more difficult. one of consequences is that a constituency that the conservatives have always found relatively difficult to do well in, that is ethnic minority voters not being made easier by this apparent relationship with brexit,

, a particular problem in london, a particular problem in london with fatal knife attacks. president trump and sounding off about knives at the national rifle association conference in dallas yesterday, saying, you can ban guns as much as you like but people will still go around with knives attacking people. these new figures, what do they suggest? do they give us what do they suggest? do they give us any clues to what is going on? for the sunday times as saying is that knife crime epidemic is not just confined to london, it is hitting every far—flung corner of the united kingdom. ifind this hitting every far—flung corner of the united kingdom. i find this a bit baffling anyway because we were first out of the blocks on the knife crime story some weeks ago and the sun on sunday, we covered it and edit asa sun on sunday, we covered it and edit as a national story. but the sunday times seem to be seeing london has now overtaken new york and focusing on the london centric element of it. the figures here now they've gotten on to them, outside london, isjust as bad or even w

you mention outlied london, i have a list of councils to watch outside london. we discussed the london ones, a short while ago. iam going the london ones, a short while ago. i am going to share them with viewers because they have, these councils, they have trafford, and plymouth, and swindon, and dudley, and worcester and basildon and peterborough which andrew sinclair mentioned. to pick off a couple. trafford, what is the significance there? the significance of trafford is is one of those parts outside london which voted to remain, it is one of the so—called metropolitan districts, which the conservatives currently control, and if indeed it, behaves in the way that remain voting areas tended to do in the general election the conservatives may struggle to control that. in contrast, the conservatives were hopeful in basildon notjust because it was a leave voting area but there we re it was a leave voting area but there were plenty of ukip seats to pick up. whether that is going to happen is perhaps a more debatable but what is perhaps a more debatable but what

now, the british and the americans did agree to establish an ally-planning team in london in march of 1943 which was going to be led by the newly designated chief of staff to the supreme ally commander and the title name for the group came from the commander's title, coss, the best name of all time. they were given order to develop deceptions to be engaged and degraded and, you know, that was the benefit of either strategy and then second to develop come as you are options for short-notice response for collapse by going back into the continent and last was the plan, cross-channel intact, it started out with the enormous challenges. what they had to do plan for the most difficult military maneuver, at that time there was no precedent for success with that. they had no defined strategic goal, no knowledge, what resources they would have to plan for and no one was samed supreme allied commander. they didn't have a champion for all of the competing things going on around the world wanting, divide scarce resources, one thing that they did have was a justified sense that none of all of the

i have been living in london for about 39 years. but it was not about seven years ago i first discovered these hidden rivers. and ijust wanted to write and illustrate about them, to show them to other people, londoners, tourists. the river fleet starts at hampstead heath and flows down to blackfriars. one of my favourite parts of the river fleet is here on hampstead heath, this is the beginning of the river fleet. you can see the water bubbling up just here, and running through. it isn't hidden at this point, it's very exposed in streams and ponds. the history of london is very much bound up with the river fleet as well. the romans used it, it was used for powering mills, but then people started to use it to throw rubbish away, and smithfield market, they were throwing off—cuts of meat and gore and blood into the river. dead animals were thrown into the river, and then it became foul and stinking, and so sadly they had to cover it up. when i was writing the book i had to get inside the sewers to see. we got donned up in overalls,

it looks like the within london. it looks like the within london. it looks like the within london vote is being influenced by other issues, perhaps more local issues in some ways which have allowed conservatives to hold on in what is after all a remain city where last year the conservatives suffered for being associated with brexit. that was one question, how local worthies local elections or were bigger national issues going to dominate? there is a lwa ys issues going to dominate? there is always a mixture of the two. in london where you have results in places like wandsworth and westminster, very low council tax is, a long—term conservative administration, i think that has brought out the conservative vote in quite a local way. other issues, we have mentioned brexit, but looking at other things like the labour pa rty‘s at other things like the labour party's struggle with the anti—semitism row, posterity, these are national policies which weigh in on the local elections. for everybody voting yesterday, everything that councils do affect you

performed strongly in london. hillingdon and barnett, where the expectation that labour would win, that they would sweep everything aside. that was a message, that was what the american london were saying and john mcdonnell also. i think we have performed well. which conservatives do you think would be willing to step against sadiq khan as london mayor? given this strong performance in london, in your mind? we will move on to the london elections in due course but it is worth reflecting on london councils across london and done a good job, with places like bexley in my own neck of the woods, a strong performance for the conservatives. labour was saying there was no place we could not win. i think that is the point. labour are we could not win. i think that is the point. labourare now we could not win. i think that is the point. labour are now trying to say, we didn't mean that, we were saying we we ren't say, we didn't mean that, we were saying we weren't going to make those breakthroughs. that is firmly not the c
