Labour Party: Keir Starmer’s Road to Power - BBC Newsnight
Newsnight explores the story of the man who could be prime minister of the United Kingdom — and what that road to power may entail. Please subscribe here: http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
Sir Keir Starmer was elected leader of the Labour Party six months ago, when the United Kingdom was locked down against coronavirus.
Back then Westminster was preoccupied with the virus, and the norms of the opposition were temporarily suspended.
The scrutiny of the man who had only been elected as an MP five years earlier was perhaps more cursory than would have otherwise been the case. Sir Keir identifies as a "socialist", as did Jeremy Corbyn, so what makes his politics different?
And as a former member of Jeremy Corbyn’s shadow cabinet, was Starmer planning his leadership campaign as far back as last year's general election?
Newsnight’s Policy Editor Lewis Goodall investigates the story of the man who could be prime minister — and what that road to power may entail.
After this report aired on BBC Two, Unite the Union’s General Secretary Len McCluskey tweeted out the following:
“Before this gets out of hand, let me say language is important and I apologise to Peter Mandelson and anyone else if mine has caused hurt.”

Wales imposes 16-day strict lockdown to control pandemic and protect NHS - BBC News
The Welsh government is imposing a 16-day lockdown across the country to regain control of the pandemic.
The First Minister, Labour's Mark Drakeford, said that without a lockdown the NHS in Wales would not be able to cope in the weeks and months ahead.
However there’s been dismay and anger in parts of Wales where the number of coronavirus cases is still relatively low.
People will have to stay at home unless they're key workers or can't work from home. Pubs, restaurants, hotels and all non-essential shops will close.
Primary schools will reopen after half-term. Secondary school Years 7 and 8 will return but other pupils will learn from home.
Gatherings indoors and outdoors with people from other households will not be allowed.

Sudan khalwas: Undercover in the schools that chain boys - BBC News
A BBC News Arabic investigation has uncovered systemic child abuse and evidence of sexual abuse inside Islamic schools in Sudan.
For 18 months, reporter Fateh Al-Rahman Al-Hamdani filmed inside 23 schools across the country.
Boys as young as five-years-old were routinely chained, shackled and beaten by the sheikhs or religious men in charge of the schools.
Mohamed Nader is one of those who was abused. He was imprisoned and tortured for five days, and received such a brutal beating that he nearly died.
Al-Hamdani spoke to him about what happened, his recovery, and his family's fight for justice in a country where the sheikhs still wield huge power and influence.

With days to the election Trump appeals to America’s Rust Belt to back him again - BBC News
With days to go until the US presidential election, Donald Trump has been campaigning in the battleground states that will decide the contest.
One region that’s likely to be decisive is the so-called Rust Belt — America’s former industrial heartlands in the the north-east United States, which have seen decades of economic decline.
Four years ago the state of Pennsylvania was unexpectedly won by Donald Trump. It was the first time Pennsylvania had backed a Republican presidential candidate in almost 30 years.

Government accuses Manchester Mayor of "risking lives" by opposing strictest Covid rules - BBC News
The Labour mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham has urged party leaders at Westminster to agree on financial support for areas facing the strictest Tier 3 coronavirus restrictions.
Mr Burnham has been leading resistance by Manchester MPs and council leaders — who are opposing Boris Johnson’s plans to impose Tier 3 rules on the area without more financial support for people and companies who will be affected.
However the Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove accused Mr Burnham of political posturing and “risking lives” -- and urged him to accept the highest level rules immediately.
Andy Burnham has accused Boris Johnson of exaggerating the severity of coronavirus in Manchester. His opposition to the government’s plans has won backing by Conservative as well as Labour leaders in the region, including the senior backbench Conservative MP Sir Graham Brady.

Stormzy's stab-proof vest is up for a major design award.
In June 2019, Stormzy made history by becoming the first-ever black British solo act to top the bill at Glastonbury Festival. Wearing this stab-proof Union Jack vest, designed by Bansky, he used his set to highlight structural racism. The organisers of the Beazley Designs of the Year exhibition said it was "a defining cultural moment". The design prize features 74 nominations across six categories - architecture, digital, fashion, graphics, product and transport. The winner of the award will be announced by London's Design Museum next month. Click the link in our bio to find out more. (📸 Getty/Design Museum)

These "rubbish" pet pictures have raised thousands of pounds for a UK homeless charity. It all started when Phil - who operates under the spoof alias "acclaimed artist Hercule Van Wolfwinkle" - doodled his pet dog while colouring with his son. He shared his creation on Facebook and offered commissions at a joke price of £299, but genuine requests flooded his inbox. "I think people just found them funny, at a time when there's not loads to smile about," he said. "I couldn't take their money - the pictures are rubbish. So I set up a Just Giving page and suggested people donate instead." And that's what people did. So far the 38-year-old has raised £4,903 for Turning Tides, a charity which supports rough sleepers and aims to help them out of homelessness. 'Hercule' told the BBC: "I can't believe how it's taken off. It's just a bit of fun for everybody, including me. When it becomes too stressful, I'll have to stop. But I'll try to make as much money as I can for Turning Tides. My next goal is £10,000." Tap the link in our bio for more on how these works of art are raising money, and a smile.

The world has a problem with unsustainable fishing. Australian researchers say over 90 species of endangered fish are caught legally by industrial fisheries globally. And scientists think jellyfish could be the answer. "Jellyfish are more like apple trees," says marine biologist Lisa-ann Gershwin. "The jellyfish we see are actually clone mates of other jellyfish. From a fishery point of view, they're really kind of the perfect fish because they're a renewable resource." How do jellyfish taste though? "It feels a bit like gristle," says Dr Gershwin.

In Nara, a small city south of Kyoto, Sika deer mingle with locals and tourist and have been for centuries. More than 1,200 have made the city their home, mostly congregating in central Nara Park. The chance to feed them specially made deer-friendly cookies is a big tourist attraction. But there is a problem. Visitors who flock to see them leave behind a trail of potentially deadly plastic waste. Last year, one deer was found with more than 4kg of rubbish in its stomach. Fed up, a group of locals have come up with a solution: a paper bag made with rice bran that the deer can digest. Nara resident Takashi Nakamura, who runs a paper company in the city, came up with the idea after he heard that deer in the city were dying.

How fashion reflects ethnic pride in Ethiopia. Not so long ago, Oromos in Ethiopia were reluctant to openly express their cultural and ethnic identity. This could go as far as avoiding speaking their language in public for fear of being criticised for not adhering to a national identity. But an increasing political assertiveness over the last decade has combined with a growing cultural pride among young Oromos that is now being expressed in fashion. Photographer Elias Badhaasaa was keen to capture these images as a way to raise awareness about the culture. "I was seeing other ethnic cultures being photographed and documented and not ours," he told the BBC. "Therefore, I started asking myself, why are we not promoting ours? I want us to be visible in the Horn of Africa and beyond." Swipe right to see more photographs by Elias Badhaasaa and click the link in the bio to read more on this story.

"This coin helps bridge our nation's past, its diverse present and its future, looking outward, positively, together," Zehra Zaidi said. HM Treasury said the new coin signalled the intent of the Royal Mint and Chancellor Rishi Sunak to include a wider range of people on coins and notes in the future. "Ethnic minority people, as well as all under-represented groups, need to see themselves represented in British institutions. They need to see their contributions to Britain recognised.

"On the previous days, both devoid of morning mists, the light had been harsh and unappealing but the third day delivered stunning conditions with mist swirling through the trees.” Joshua Elphick's picture, Counting Sheep, won The Young Landscape Photographer of the Year. The animal in Joshua's photo has since been nicknamed "Britany Shears" by the 17-year-old. Swipe right to see more pictures from this year’s competition.
