bbcuk--2020-01-17--Giant jet engines aim to make our flying greener

`` It 's on another scale from anything I 've seen before , '' says Lorna Carter who recently started working at a new Rolls-Royce research and development facility near Bristol .
She works with giant robots which lay thousands of strips of carbon fibre tape to form a cylinder some 3.7m ( almost 12ft ) in diameter .
The cylinder forms the outer shell of Rolls-Royce 's new engine , the Ultrafan .
Still under development , Rolls-Royce says the Ultrafan will be quieter and more fuel efficient than anything it has made before .
It will certainly be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trying to make is massive and we are at capacity , it 's really stretching the limits of what we can do , '' says Ms Carter .
At the £25m facility Rolls-Royce has also developed robots that can make fan blades from carbon fibre , a process that has taken more than 10 years to perfect .
Making the fan casing and blades from carbon fibre should result in a 20 % weight saving compared with previous materials .
And that 's important as the aerospace industry is under pressure to reduce @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more efficient , but airline traffic is growing even faster .
Rolls-Royce estimates that 37,000 new passenger aircraft will be needed over the next 20 years .

`` We 've come a long way , but the challenge is to decouple emissions growth from traffic growth , '' says Alan Newby , future programmes director at Rolls-Royce .
The new engine will also incorporate a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which results in a more efficient engine .
It 's an innovation already being used on a smaller engine from US-based Pratt & Whitney Engine , the PW1000G .
While Rolls-Royce and others in the aerospace industry are working on electric and hybrid propulsion systems for aircraft , for long-haul aircraft , at the moment jet engines are the only option .
Given that it is a technology that has been around since World War Two , how much more efficiency can be squeezed out of the jet engine ?
Quite a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who is head of power and propulsion department at Cranfield University 's Centre for Propulsion Engineering .
His department works with on research projects with aerospace companies including Airbus and Rolls-Royce .
`` I do expect improvements to continue , '' he says .

He also points out that lighter engines mean the aircraft structure can be lighter as it has to carry less weight .
Those kind of incremental changes might not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ airline business they can make a big difference .
`` Evolutionary changes , they sound unimpressive - 10 % here 12 % there .
But in the airline business with very thin margins , that is the difference between life and death , '' says Richard Aboulafia , vice-president of analysis at the Teal Group .
One UK firm though is looking to make a step change in propulsion .
Reaction Engines is developing a rocket engine , called Sabre , to be used on high-speed aircraft and on spacecraft .
At the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Mach 5 ( five times the speed of sound ) the air coming into the engine can reach temperatures of 1,000C .
That temperature would destroy the engine , so Reaction has developed a cooling system which can chill the incoming air in a fraction of a second .
The so-called pre-cooler is made from miniature tubes , less than 1mm thick , that can pipe coolant under high pressure through the system , and whisk heat away .
`` The Sabre is completely unique , there 's nobody else in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that 's developing an air-breathing rocket engine , '' says Mark Thomas , chief executive of Reaction Engines .
`` Our pre-cooler technology ... is in a different class to anything out there .

Reaction Engines plans to start building the Sabre engine this year and test it in 2021 .
Reaction 's pre-cooler can also potentially be used on conventional jet engines to make them more efficient , an idea @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Prof Pericles it will be another 30 years until we see a radical change in passenger aircraft .
By then he thinks there will be a transition from the current design , which is basically a tube , with engines hanging below the wings , to a `` blended wing '' design .

Those engines might even by powered by hydrogen , which has the potential to be a very low emission fuel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' says Prof Pilidis .
`` It is a long-term solution to decarbonise aviation completely .
However , environmentalists says action needs to be taken sooner .

Paul Cooper , 61 , said he had thousands of editions stored in every `` nook and cranny '' of his Norwich house .
His visit to the home of publisher DC Thomson in Dundee will allow him to pay homage to the comic .
Beano Studios ' Mike Stirling said : `` We 're very grateful Paul Cooper has been a loyal reader for so many years .

However , she will be accompanying him this summer to Dundee to visit its collection of Beano statues , which Mr Cooper describes as `` something special '' .
Mr Stirling said he hoped the long-term fan would `` enjoy seeing the statues ... and , of course , the real Bash Street '' .

"I do believe there are aspects of The Beano where the humour is definitely aimed at adults rather than children - and certainly people of my age," said Mr Cooper.

Policing the UN climate change conference in Glasgow will cost more than £200m , Scotland 's chief constable has said .
Iain Livingstone told the Scottish Police Authority ( SPA ) the COP26 event in November would be one of the largest ever staged in the UK .
The chief constable also said Police Scotland had taken £200m a year out of the core cost of policing .
This was despite demands on officers increasing in 2019 , he said .
Mr Livingstone pointed out that there had been an almost 20 % rise - from about 1,500 to 1,800 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ republican marches in Scotland , as well as a higher number of spontaneous protests such as those by Extinction Rebellion .
Acting chairman of the authority , David Crichton , told the board meeting that the current number of officers in Scotland was `` not sustainable '' .

`` So our deficit is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even greater than the savings that we 've managed to achieve .
`` So my pitch is , can we get some of those savings back ? ''
Mr Livingstone also told the SPA that a considerable number of officers would be coming to Scotland from south of the border to help police COP26 .
He said their accommodation costs alone would be `` tens of millions of pounds '' and deposits on accommodation were estimated at £2m , which needed to be paid by next month .

A former climbing instructor has been jailed for two-and-a-half years after indecently assaulting three boys .
Robert Pugh , 75 , of Cardiff , assaulted the boys at Storey Arms outdoor activity centre in the Brecon Beacons during the 1980s and 1990s .
He was found guilty of 10 charges at Cardiff Crown Court in December and remanded in custody before being sentenced on Friday .
All three victims were under 16 when Pugh started abusing them .
One victim said he `` suffered some very dark times '' during the process of getting the case through court .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ look forward to moving on with my life , '' he said .
`` There are no winners here , just people who wanted to right Bob 's wrongs .
So I thank the jury for believing us and reaching the rightful verdict . ''
He said the victims were `` groomed with preferential treatment '' .
`` After he attacked me , I got out of the situation , moved away , and did n't trust anyone anymore .
And self-destructing tendencies have been in my life ever since . ''
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in later life he was not the only victim and contacted the police .
`` It 's hard to accept it 's taken me 20 years to get here as my accusations were not taken seriously or followed up for a long time .

`` I 'm glad Bob has been found unanimously guilty and I am vindicated . ''
The first trial in 2018 was halted for legal reasons , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ came forward .
A jury failed to reach a verdict in a second trial in August 2019 and after that , a third victim was identified .
The prosecution said beneath Pugh 's respectable exterior `` there was something that drove him to touch these boys '' .
The court heard the boys seen as Pugh 's favourites were offered additional courses , received gifts and were taken to a pub .
Judge Michael Fitton told Pugh he had `` a sexual interest and desire for boys and young men '' .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ways they have described to the jury , '' he added .
`` Two of them have been harmed significantly . ''

A clock counting down to the moment the UK leaves the EU on 31 January will be projected on to Downing Street as part of government plans to mark Brexit Day .
The clock will tick down to 23:00 GMT , while Prime Minister Boris Johnson will give a `` special '' address to the nation in the evening , the government said .
A special 50p coin will also enter circulation to mark the occasion .
Meanwhile , a campaign to find £500,000 to make Big Ben ring when the UK leaves the EU has raised more than £200,000 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Leave Means Leave group have donated £50,000 to the campaign .
• Why are Big Ben 's Brexit bongs so costly ?
Downing Street has said the prime minister will chair a cabinet meeting in the north of England during the day , to discuss spreading `` prosperity and opportunity '' .
He will then make a special address to the nation in the evening .
Mr Johnson is expected to be one of the first people to receive one of the newly-minted 50p coins , which will bear the motto `` peace @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' .
Buildings around Whitehall will be lit up to mark Brexit , with the government saying that , `` in response to public calls , the Union Jack will be flown on all of the flag poles in Parliament Square '' .
The government says it will use the `` significant moment in our history '' to `` heal divisions , re-unite communities and look forward to the country that we want to build over the next decade . ''
However , it is not certain whether Big Ben - which is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work going on at the Houses of Parliament - will chime to mark the moment the UK leaves the EU .
Earlier this week , Mr Johnson told BBC Breakfast he wanted the public to raise funds to ensure this can happen .

It says this would involve bringing back the chiming mechanism and installing a temporary floor , resulting in delays to the conservation work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 4 Brexit set up an online appeal to raise the money , collecting more than £200,000 by Friday evening .
Conservative MP Mark Francois told BBC Radio 4 's The World at One that the pro-Brexit Leave Means Leave campaign and Mr Banks had donated £50,000 .
He queried whether the cost of getting the bell to ring again was really £500,000 , adding that he believed officials had `` deliberately inflated the figure '' because `` they do n't want to do it '' .
It comes as Downing Street has said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if they fail to sign up to the settled status scheme by the 2021 .
Under the settlement scheme , EU citizens living in the UK can apply to stay in the country after Brexit .
So far the number of applicants to the scheme has hit more than 2.7 million .
UK voters backed leaving the EU by a margin of 52 % to 48 % in the June 2016 referendum .

A campaign to find the £500,000 needed to make Big Ben ring when the UK leaves the EU has raised more than £200,000, but the House of Commons Commission cast doubt on whether it was permitted to use public donations to cover the costs.

Rebecca Long-Bailey has promised to `` shake up '' how government works and put power into the hands of voters if elected Labour leader .
Launching her campaign in Manchester , she said the last few years showed many people `` instinctively '' thought there was something wrong with laws being drafted by an `` elite '' in Brussels .
She added that Westminster `` did n't feel much closer '' .

`` Where I grew up , Westminster , even London , felt like a million miles away , '' she said .
`` The story of the last few years is that many people feel there is something wrong with their laws being drafted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and largely unaccountable bureaucratic elite in Brussels .

The shadow business secretary said she wanted to `` shake up the way government works '' , adding : `` We will put power back where it belongs - in your hands . ''
She pledged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lords '' and replace it with an elected senate outside of London .
`` My kind of socialism is the kind we all rise together , '' she told Labour members and supporters .
`` My kind of socialism is a Britain in which everyone is free to dream , free to climb and free to succeed '' .
She said Labour 's election defeat was in part down to voters not trusting the party - adding Labour had a lot of work to do to win trust back .
Mrs Long-Bailey said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many Labour members has been `` what has happened with the anti-Semitism crisis within our party '' .

bbcuk--2020-01-17--Extinction Rebellion: Police defend adding groups to extremism guide

Police have defended the inclusion of environmental groups such as Extinction Rebellion and Greenpeace in a counter-terrorism guide , saying it was produced to help frontline officers .
The Guardian reported that the 24-page police guide was distributed to teachers and medical staff as part of anti-extremism briefings last year .
They appeared next to extremist right-wing groups such as National Action .
Extinction Rebellion warned it could have a `` chilling effect '' on people .
It comes after counter-terrorism police in south-east England admitted an `` error of judgement '' earlier this month - after listing Extinction Rebellion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a 12-page guide .
• Who is getting arrested over climate change ?
According to the Guardian , the police document includes other non-violent groups such as ocean pollution campaigners Sea Shepherd , animal rights group Peta and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament ( CND ) .
A signs and symbols guide referred to by the paper shows a Nazi swastika in one section and the Extinction Rebellion and Greenpeace symbols in another .
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Dean Haydon , senior national co-ordinator for the UK 's Counter Terrorism Policing , said police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be extremist or a threat to national security .
He said the visual aid was produced with the aim of helping police `` identify and understand signs and symbols '' so they know the difference between them .
In a statement , he said : `` The guidance document in question explicitly states that many of the groups included are not of counter-terrorism interest , and that membership of them does not indicate criminality of any kind .
`` To suggest anything else is both unhelpful and misleading . ''
He said the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ counter-terrorism strategy , known as the Prevent programme , but `` only as a guide to help them [ Prevent ] identify and understand the range of organisations practitioners might come across '' .
However , Extinction Rebellion said its inclusion in the document was `` nothing short of pointing a finger at anyone that thinks differently to 'business as usual ' . ''
The group said : `` The chilling effect is to leave people feeling under scrutiny , watched and pressurised , feeling othered , ashamed or afraid to be open @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as the environment and the world around us . ''
Kate Hudson , general secretary of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament , also questioned the group 's inclusion in the guide , saying it `` threatens our right to political engagement and peaceful protest '' .
`` We have no secrets and act in the public interest , '' she added .
Greenpeace UK 's executive director , John Sauven , said there was `` nothing extremist about people from all walks of life taking peaceful , non-violent action to stop climate chaos @ @ @ @ @ @ @ environmental campaigners and terrorist organisations with the same brush is not going to help fight terrorism .
It will only harm the reputation of hard-working police officers . ''

He said the document was used by the government's counter-terrorism strategy, known as the Prevent programme, but "only as a guide to help them [Prevent] identify and understand the range of organisations practitioners might come across".

Universities in England are to face a `` value for money '' review of how £1.3bn per year of funding might give more support to `` priority '' subjects .
Higher education watchdog the Office for Students ( OFS ) is understood to be launching the review in the spring .

Universities UK warns it will matter `` how much '' funding is left after the review , as well as how it is allocated .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it calls `` low-quality courses '' in university - and the review will examine how funding can be targeted for priority subjects .
While most university funding is delivered through tuition fees , the government still provides a significant direct stream of grants .

There will also be a push for more effective ways to spend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and support for specialist institutions .
But Jo Grady , leader of the University and College Union , criticised how value for money was based on an `` obsession with flimsy metrics '' around graduate earnings .
`` What can future employment or earnings potential really tell us about teaching quality ? ''
she said .
But what remains unknown is how the OFS review will combine with the government 's promised response to Philip Augar 's review , which recommended reducing tuition fees from £9,250 to £7,500 per year .
The review @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Theresa May , also called for further education and skills to have a fairer share of funding .
A spokeswoman for Universities UK warned that any changes to the teaching grant or fees could leave a `` funding gap '' .

bbcuk--2020-01-17--Scottish Conservatives: Carlaw and Ballantyne to contest party leadership

Jackson Carlaw and Michelle Ballantyne have been confirmed as the only two candidates to succeed Ruth Davidson as Scottish Conservative leader .
Mr Carlaw , who has been interim leader since Ms Davidson 's resignation in August , is the clear favourite to win the contest .
He has the backing of the vast majority of the party 's MSPs and MPs .
But Ms Ballantyne says she is concentrating on winning support from grassroots members .
Candidates had until 17:00 on Friday to put their names forward , with the winner to be announced on 14 February after a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Who are the candidates ?
Jackson Carlaw worked as a car salesman in the west of Scotland for 25 years before being elected as an MSP , but has been involved in politics since joining the Conservatives as teenager in the late 1970s .
He first stood as a candidate in the 1982 Queen 's Park by-election , and after several other unsuccessful attempts was eventually elected as a list MSP for the West of Scotland region in the 2007 and again in 2011 - when he also became Ruth Davidson 's deputy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ married with two children , was elected as the MSP for Eastwood in 2016 , and served as acting leader when Ms Davidson went on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her son in May of last year .
When Ms Davidson resigned as party leader in August , Mr Carlaw was immediately appointed as interim leader - with some of his supporters hoping he would be given the role on a permanent basis without a leadership contest being required .
The 60-year-old says he wants the party to appeal to `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's Scottish Parliament election , when he says his goal is to `` take down '' Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP .
Among his key policy proposals are increasing the number of teachers in Scotland by 2,000 , bringing income taxes into line with the rest of the UK , and scrapping the Scottish government 's plan to introduce a so-called parking tax .
He told his official campaign launch earlier this week that he stands for `` a decent , generous-spirited , 'aspirational conservatism ' that promotes the values and ambitions of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already secured support from a majority of MSPs , all of the Conservative Party 's local council leaders in Scotland and some MPs .
He says the experience he has built up in his lengthy stint as acting leader - which saw him go head-to-head with Ms Sturgeon during first minister 's questions every week - mean he would be able to hit the ground running if he wins the race to do the job full time .
But critics point out that Mr Carlaw 's tenure included last month 's general election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the 13 seats they had won under Ms Davidson in 2017 despite the Tories winning a majority across the UK as a whole .
Michelle Ballantyne started her career as a staff nurse at an NHS intensive care unit in London before moving into health service management .
She moved to the Scottish Borders with her husband , a former paratrooper , in 1990 to raise their six children - with the couple starting a business in Walkerburn that continues to make and sell die-cast models .
Ms Ballantyne continued to work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a charity that provided specialist drug and alcohol support to children , families and offenders .
She was elected to Scottish Borders council in 2012 , before becoming a list MSP for the South of Scotland region May 2017 .
She is currently the party 's communities and social security spokeswoman at Holyrood .
In 2018 she sparked controversy after telling the Parliament that `` people on benefit can not have as many children as they like while people who work and pay their way and do n't claim benefits have to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they can have '' .
She defended the remarks in an interview with BBC Scotland earlier this month by saying : `` What I said is that we need a level playing field .
So people who are in work need to have the same opportunities as people who are n't in work . ''
Ms Ballantyne 's most high profile supporter so far has been the former Aberdeen South MP Ross Thomson , who stood down in November to fight allegations that he sexually assaulted a Labour MP in a Commons bar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mr Carlaw because the party needs to have a proper debate about its future rather than merely crowning him unopposed as Ms Davidson 's successor .
And she believes the Scottish Conservatives have failed to communicate their policies properly to ordinary people in the past .
Ms Ballantyne says she wants to create a Scotland that `` works for working people '' by having a fair taxation system , a justice system that puts the rights of victims first and schools that provide aspiration to all pupils , regardless of their background .

He says the experience he has built up in his lengthy stint as acting leader - which saw him go head-to-head with Ms Sturgeon during first minister's questions every week - mean he would be able to hit the ground running if he wins the race to do the job full time.

The chancellor has warned manufacturers that `` there will not be alignment '' with the EU after Brexit and insists firms must `` adjust '' to new regulations .
Speaking to the Financial Times , Sajid Javid admitted not all businesses would benefit from Brexit .
The Food and Drink Federation said it sounded like the `` death knell '' for frictionless trade with the EU and was likely to cause food prices to rise .
Mr Javid declined to specify which EU rules he wanted to drop .
The automotive , food and drink and pharmaceutical industries all warned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from key EU rules would be damaging .
• Clock to illuminate No 10 as UK leaves the EU • How soon will Brexit happen ?
But Mr Javid told the paper : `` There will be an impact on business one way or the other , some will benefit , some wo n't . ''
He said Japan 's car industry was an example of a manufacturing sector which found success without following EU rules .
Asked how differing regulations between the UK and EU may impact industries such as automotive and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 're also talking about companies that have known since 2016 that we are leaving the EU .
`` Admittedly , they did n't know the exact terms . ''
Tim Rycroft , chief operating officer of the Food and Drink Federation , told BBC Radio 4 's Today programme that `` it sounds awfully like the death knell for the concept of frictionless trade with the EU '' .
He said it probably meant that food prices would rise when the transition period finishes at the end of this year .
Mr Rycroft @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from UK-specific trade rules .
But he said : `` We also have to make sure the government clearly understands what the consequences will be for industries like ours if they go ahead and change our trading terms . ''
The Confederation of British Industry ( CBI ) said it welcomed the chancellor 's `` ambitious '' vision but said government should not feel it has an `` obligation '' to depart from EU rules .
Carolyn Fairbairn , CBI director-general , said for many companies , `` particularly in some of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , keeping the same rules would support jobs and maintain competitiveness .
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said the automotive industry in the UK and EU was `` uniquely integrated '' and its priority was to avoid `` expensive tariffs and other 'behind the border ' barriers '' .

The government has not yet agreed a future trading relationship with the EU - it plans to do so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after the UK leaves the bloc on 31 January .
During the transition period the UK will continue to follow EU rules and contribute to its budget .
'Here 's the cash , use it' The chancellor also said he wanted to double the UK 's annual economic growth to between 2.7 and 2.8 % .
However , the outgoing governor of the Bank of England , Mark Carney , told the Financial Times last week he thought the UK 's trend growth rate was much lower , at between 1 and 1.5 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ growth would come from spending on skills and infrastructure in the Midlands and the north of England - even if they did not offer as much `` bang for the buck '' as projects in other parts of the country .

He pledged to rewrite Treasury @ @ @ @ @ @ @ favour government investment in places with high economic growth and high productivity .
Mr Javid said the rules had helped to `` entrench '' inequality and insisted weaker parts of the country would have first call on the new money .

• Who will be Labour 's next leader ?
• Labour leadership : What does Keir Starmer stand for ?
• Which Labour contender is the most working-class ?
The candidates all acknowledged that Labour had suffered from division and in-fighting .
`` We have to be honest with ourselves that over the last four years we have n't been united as a party , '' said Mrs Long-Bailey .
Ms Phillips said the `` name-calling has been horrendous '' and the party should have a `` broad team @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said that the unity of the party `` has to be modelled from the top '' .
Candidates were asked how they would bring the party and the country together over Brexit .
Warning of the threat of no trade deal with the EU at the end of the transition period this year , Ms Thornberry said the party needs `` someone in this fight who has been on the right side all along '' .
Ms Nandy said Labour has allowed the Tories to divide it , pitting the young against the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they `` airbrushed out the nuance '' .
Sir Keir urged the party to let go of the Leave and Remain labels and `` focus on the future '' , while Ms Long-Bailey said the country needed a `` democratic revolution '' because voters disliked the centralisation of power in Westminster as much as Brussels .
The hunt for a new Labour leader was triggered when Mr Corbyn stepped down following the party 's fourth general election defeat in a row .
The hustings follows the campaign launches of shadow business secretary Mrs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Friday .
Mrs Long-Bailey promised to `` shake up '' how government works and end the `` gentlemen 's club of politics '' by moving power out of London .

The MP for Salford and Eccles received a boost ahead of her campaign launch when she secured the support of the grassroots organisation Momentum on Thursday .
Ms Thornberry , who scraped through the first stage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of support from MPs minutes before the deadline , highlighted her experience challenging Boris Johnson .
She drew attention to her role `` on the front line in the fights against climate change , universal credit and anti-abortion laws in Northern Ireland '' .
She also said that if she ever lost the confidence of colleagues or thought she was going to lose an election she would stand down .
Who are the leadership candidates ?
Find out more about the candidates , including their early life , time before Parliament , record @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : The remaining three candidates - Ms Nandy , Ms Phillips , and Sir Keir - have already launched their campaigns .
Setting out her stall , Ms Nandy pledged to abolish tuition fees , renationalise Royal Mail and renew Trident - Britain 's nuclear deterrent - `` if it was coupled with a strong commitment to multi-lateral disarmament '' .
She also said she did not support another Scottish independence referendum , saying : `` I think this country has had enough of referendums . ''
Ms Phillips , who launched her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seat lost to the Tories in the 2019 election - told supporters `` something has to change '' , and promised to `` truly speak truth to power '' .
She called for the creation of a universal childcare service , based on provision in some Scandinavian countries .
Sir Keir , who won the backing of most MPs and MEPs in the first phase of the contest , vowed to restore trust in Labour `` as a force for good and a force for change '' .
Running under the slogan `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has pledged to unify the party and end factional infighting .
Sir Keir refused to say whether his politics were closer to Tony Blair or Jeremy Corbyn , saying : `` I want to lead a Labour Party that is trusted enough to bring about fundamental change . ''
In order to make the final ballot , each of the Labour leadership hopefuls must secure the backing of unions and local parties .
The five contenders need the support of 5 % of local parties or at least three affiliates - two must @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make the final ballot .
Members of the public who join the party or become affiliated supporters before 20 January will be eligible to vote in the contest .
A YouGov poll of 1,005 Labour members for the Times on Friday suggested Ms Thornberry would go out in the first round of voting with just 3 % , with Ms Nandy knocked out in the second round and Ms Phillips in the third , with most of her second preference votes going to Sir Keir .
The poll - which only includes full @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are entitled to vote - indicates Sir Keir would beat Mrs Long-Bailey in the final round by 63 % to 37 % , once the other candidates have been eliminated .
It suggests Angela Rayner is on course to win the deputy leadership election in the first round with 57 % .

"As somebody who was in the room, struggling for an independent system - at lots and lots of meetings - I have to say I don't remember some of the people here being in that particular room or being in those particular fights," she said.

bbcuk--2020-01-18--No Brexit Day plan for Big Ben as countdown clock to light up No 10

A clock counting down to the moment the UK leaves the EU on 31 January will be projected on to Downing Street as part of government plans to mark Brexit Day .
The clock will tick down to 23:00 GMT , while Prime Minister Boris Johnson will give a `` special '' address to the nation in the evening , the government said .
A special 50p coin will also enter circulation to mark the occasion .
But the plans do not include Big Ben chiming , after Commons authorities said the cost could not be justified .
A campaign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Big Ben ring when the UK leaves the EU has raised more than £200,000 , but the House of Commons Commission cast doubt on whether it was permitted to use public donations to cover the costs .
Millionaire businessman Arron Banks and the Leave Means Leave group donated £50,000 to the campaign .
• Why are Big Ben 's Brexit bongs so costly ?
Downing Street has said the prime minister will chair a cabinet meeting in the north of England during the day , to discuss spreading `` prosperity and opportunity '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ address to the nation in the evening .
Mr Johnson is expected to be one of the first people to receive one of the newly-minted 50p coins , which will bear the motto `` peace , prosperity and friendship with all nations '' .
Buildings around Whitehall will be lit up to mark Brexit , with the government saying that , `` in response to public calls , the Union Jack will be flown on all of the flag poles in Parliament Square '' .
The government says it will use the `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` heal divisions , re-unite communities and look forward to the country that we want to build over the next decade . ''
However , hopes have faded that Big Ben - which is currently out of action due to renovation work going on at the Houses of Parliament - will chime to mark the moment the UK leaves the EU .
Earlier this week , Mr Johnson told BBC Breakfast he wanted the public to raise funds to ensure this can happen .
But Downing Street later distanced itself from the campaign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ minister 's focus was on the government plan for marking the day , and that Big Ben was a matter for MPs .
The House of Commons Commission estimates the cost will be up to £500,000 , and it has raised concerns over the `` unprecedented approach '' of using donations to fund the project .
It says this would involve bringing back the chiming mechanism and installing a temporary floor , resulting in delays to the conservation work .
The campaign group Stand Up 4 Brexit set up an online appeal to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ £200,000 by Friday evening .
Conservative MP Mark Francois told BBC Radio 4 's The World at One that the pro-Brexit Leave Means Leave campaign and Mr Banks had donated £50,000 .
He queried whether the cost of getting the bell to ring again was really £500,000 , adding that he believed officials had `` deliberately inflated the figure '' because `` they do n't want to do it '' .
It comes as Downing Street has said EU citizens will not automatically be deported if they fail to sign up to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Under the settlement scheme , EU citizens living in the UK can apply to stay in the country after Brexit .
So far the number of applicants to the scheme has hit more than 2.7 million .
