LABOUR LOSES GROUND IN KEY ELECTIONS

In the UK, the opposition Labour Party has performed badly in key elections, although avoiding the meltdown some had predicted.

Labour appears to have been pushed into third place in elections for the Scottish Parliament.

And it has lost councillors on a series of local authorities, although it has held onto control of several key councils in England.

Results in London's Mayoral election won't be confirmed until later.

Labour's results are likely to heap pressure on leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Reporter Corrie Martin is in Edinburgh and says Labour's Scottish performance was dismal.
