00:23web.

00:49websites and document the date and time of the visits.
00:54Veteran socialist Jeremy Corbyn was elected leader of Britain's Labour opposition in a
00:59landslide victory that puts an anti-austerity figure at the helm of a major UK party.
01:06The 66-year-old won after clinching 59.5% of the vote, giving Britain its most left-wing
01:13leader in decades among the main parties.
01:16In his victory speech, Corbyn slammed Prime Minister David Cameron's centre-right Conservatives
01:22for presiding over grotesque levels of inequality and for creating an unfair welfare system.

02:06became the club's all-time leading scorer in La Liga with five goals in a 6-0 rout of
02:12Espanyol.
02:14Tom Cruise had flown the same 1960s-era plane which killed two of his crew members on Friday.
02:21Photos of the actor sitting in the cockpit of the US-registered plane and standing with
02:26veteran Hollywood pilot Alan Perwin outside the aircraft have circulated for days in social
02:33media.
02:34Perwin and Venezuelan Carlos Berle died while another American, Jimmy Lee Garland, survived.
02:41All were experienced pilots, although it's not clear which of the three were in command
02:45of the plane at the time of the crash, an official said.
02:48The film crew were filming Mina, which stars Cruise as American pilot Barry Seal.
