they got the brexit referendum result wrong and jeremy corbyn was a 200 outsider and jeremy corbyn was a 200 outsider and became labour leader so no one has ever relied on the polls. but it brings home the reality that the conservatives lose 60 and the coalition chaos you will see tonight by the people who will be leading brexit negotiations withjeremy corbyn at the helm. the room is filling up with journalists and pundits. they will put their own gloss on the debate which begins in just ten minutes. we will have a chat with some of our other guests. with me is the lib dem's brian paddick. how important is it tonight for the liberal democrats? many people will not have seen tim farron before and they're going to see a genuine guy who is passionate about these issues, because he is not from a privileged background. he is going to stand up to the dementia tax from the conservatives, to the cuts in school budgets and the nhs. the fact is you're starting from a very low base, you have a handful of mps and do you believe that you can turn this situation around ? do you believe that you can

corbyn core corbyn unvarnished, corbyn just telling as authentic corbyn core corbyn unvarnished, corbynjust telling it as he sees it. and that means asupposing views which mr corbyn's held for many years, committed radical socialist policies which many other labour mps tend to tone down, not so mr corbyn today in the belief that beneath the sort of radar of media and westminster cynicism, a politician setting out his views honestly will have cut through and the people will respond to his convictions and his sincerity. they may love him, but what about the wider electorate? team corbyn remain convinced the labour leader is a vote winnerfor them. people, they believe, just need to see more of the realjeremy corbyn. and just listen to some of the rousing support for the labour leader. whenjeremy corbyn became leader of the party 18 months ago, i can honestly say that in my adult life i had never felt as excited and exhilarated by party politics. so today and for the rest of the campaign, mr corbyn's beliefs, his views, his character are going to be centrestage. the economy is still rigged in f

labour, under jeremy corbyn, simply cannot add up. diane abbott is the personjeremy corbyn, simply cannot add up. diane abbott is the person jeremy corbyn wants to put in charge of our borders, policing and security in just 27 days. last week she went on the radio and at one stage, suggested you can employ a police officer for £30 a year. yesterday, labour's leaked election manifesto revealed a multi—billion pound, ideological wish list of undeliverable promises with a budget black hole, some have estimated to be at least £30 billion. they laughably claim all of their ideas are laughably claim all of their ideas a re fully laughably claim all of their ideas are fully funded, but what we have heard is a chaotic wish list of spending promises alongside billions of pounds of tax rises. it is not an economic plan, it is an economic shambles. barely a day goes by in this campaign without them saying they will raise corporation tax to pay for their promises. but in reality they have already spent this tax rise 12 separate ways. some are

the more we see of leremy corbyn. themeceweaseeji the more we seize. corbyn, i is public. withjeremy corbyn, it is the opposite. he thrives in this environment. he is very natural and engaged when he has a chance to be with the public. the more exposure she has, the worse she will do and the more it will appear like her leadership is premised on a very thin veneer. with corbyn, the opposite is true for stop the more people see the more they like him. some people. there are a lot of voters. a lot of- are not fact. he is well behind in definite fact. he is well behind in the leadership. here's behind compared with where he was before. it is under liable and completely unimaginable he is doing as well as he is doing. i certainly would do. he has improved and performed quite well tonight. there were some areas he was wobbly on. he ultimately came through well. i do think she did well. didn't paxman get he said to the g you he said to the gym he to i to her, listen, the way you had to backtrack, let's call it a u—turn over social care and things like that, particularly care o

corbyn: four extra public holidays every year. [applause] but we in the labour party recognize that dealing with an solving these problems requires a thriving economy, one that gets our economy working again and rises to the challenges of brexit on jobs and investment. for seven years, the conservatives have been holding britain back. low investment, low wages, low growth. labour will move britain forward with ambitious plans to unlock this country's potential. we will set up a national investment bank and use government banks to finance growth and good jobs for all parts of the united kingdom. [applause] mr. corbyn: through the funding of major capital projects. labour will also invest in our young people through a national education service focused on child care, schools, and skills, giving them the capacity to make a productive contribution to tomorrow's economy. [applause] mr. corbyn: and labour will take our railways back into public ownership -- [cheers] [applause] mr. corbyn: we will take back control of our country's water

he looks a bit likejeremy corbyn. people will have. he looks a bit like jeremy corbyn. right, you are offjeremy corbyn's christmas card list. although if he doesn't win number ten and there is every mac, it might be a job for him. it is interesting that in the phone in theresa may was in this evening, the first question came from a nurse. the nhs has always been a difficult issue for the conservative party at elections. even know so much has been cut during these years of austerity, plenty of budgets typically associated with the tories, the defence budget, the police budget, the conservatives have kept putting money over and above inflation into the nhs but it's still their achilles' heel. it's still something the public worries about. do you think they worry about it in a sense that they worry about it in a sense that they worry about it in a sense that they worry about the political damage that health is finished you can do to the conservatives? even though the conservative governments have probably been running the nhs longer than labour governments because they hav

i know corbyn fan, but i do think borisjohnson in particular misrepresented what corbyn said. he was not necessarily offering, as they have used this very eye—catching and perhaps hyperbolic phrase, he was not offering an excuse for terrorism. he was trying to explain why it might be happening. there was a poll saying 52% of people do believe that foreign wars have influenced terrorists in this country. it is slightly playing into my feeling that theresa may is struggling in the selection. this is certainly something that has surprised us. she started with a 25 point lead, the latest poll has her down only to a 5—point lead. latest poll has her down only to a 5— point lead. that's latest poll has her down only to a 5—point lead. that's a cataclysmic fall off. an insider from the tories saying that they are slightly disappointed with her performance, that it has not taken off. they thought she would be like angela merkel, seen as the mother of the nation. but thatjust has not happen with theresa may. tories were expecting more. the golf poll you talk about. there are li

mr corbyn's people have always insisted that mr corbyn does not backed negotiations, talks with isis. when you hear him saying conflicts are resolved with people you profoundly disagree, the most obvious conflict will involve development is the bombing of is and they would seem to be the enemy. it does leave him open to the accusation, i suspect his critics will point to his approach in northern ireland where he was the at the forefront of mps advocating dialogue with sinn fein and the ira. there was a pattern here that mr corbyn's approach is to talk to terrorists and those who support them. mr:'s supporters will argue, i suspect i am in northern ireland context, it did require negotiations to end the conflict. this doesn't track from the fact this is extraordinarily sensitive to rain in the middle of a general election. i have no doubt he will face significant criticism from his opponents. thank you, norman smith. and jeremy corbyn will be the latest leader in the hot seat talking to andrew neil — you can see that at seven o'clock this evening on bbc one. so let's get the latest o

that is all thatjeremy corbyn instead ofjeremy corbyn. that is all that jeremy corbyn can instead ofjeremy corbyn. that is all thatjeremy corbyn can get off to that debate in cambridge and prepare for the event this evening. i think the labour campaign is experiencing buoyant at the moment and that is why they have decided that the last minute thatjeremy corbyn should take part in this debate. they feel that his performances are getting better and better throughout the campaign and they feel that the more the public get to see jeremy corbyn they feel that the more the public get to seejeremy corbyn the more they are seeing things they like. so it isa they are seeing things they like. so it is a bit ofa they are seeing things they like. so it is a bit of a surprise that he is taking part and we have had confirmation from the conservatives that despitejeremy corbyn's last—minute decision, theresa may will not be changing her mind. she will not be changing her mind. she will be the only party leader not taking part in the bbc debate tonigh

theresa may, and jeremy corbyn, they are a brand. and jeremy corbyn, they are a brand. and jeremy corbyn, they are a brand. and jeremy corbyn, it is not that he's not getting his message across but he's getting it across well and truly. thank you for us. the sun columnist, and former editor, kelvin mackenzie is leaving the paper — because of controversial remarks he made about the everton footballer, ross barkley. kelvin mackenzie was suspended last month after comparing the player to a gorilla. our media editor, amol rajan, reports. kelvin mackenzie is a giant of british tabloids. a brash and brutal editor editor who was a close confidant of his patron, rupert murdoch. but this time he went too far. a column about everton footballer ross barkley, whose grandfather is nigerian, compared him to a gorilla. mackenzie claimed not to know about the heritage but his column, published on the anniversary of the hillsborough disaster that he so notoriously misrepresented, prompted everton to ban the sun from its stadium. newspaper columnists are meant to provoke strong feeling

corbyn corbyn took part in and came to the conclusionjeremy corbyn did better than theresa may and people seemed to warm to the sincerity with which he expressed his views. they were certainly much more buoyant about the outcome and thought why not? why not go for this sort of debate even though the prime minister is not going to be there and maybe take the view it forces theresa may onto the back foot again. this morning jeremy corbyn reiterated his challenge to the prime minister, saying come and debate me. it seems to me labour are trying to wrong—foot theresa may, put the pressure on her and clearly they thinkjeremy corbyn does well in these tv debates. how much pressure will it put on theresa may if he does confirm as we are thinking he well that he will take part? might she change her mind?” think that is very, very unlikely. the view in the camp of theresa may is they have everything to lose and very little to gain and we saw that to some extent in thejeremy paxman debate earlier this week when theresa may had to defend her records. that is always going to be a problem if you a

jeremy corbyn has said this morning that theissue corbyn has said this morning that the issue of brexit is settled but are you concerned that tim farron and nicola sturgeon could make it a condition of supporting mr corbyn as prime minister of labour minority government that he stops the brexit process ? government that he stops the brexit process? let's just look at what we have got in the political scene today. there is any one party that is absolutely committed to respecting the will of the people and recognising the result and delivering on the result of the referendum last year and that is me and my team, the conservative party. what we have seen from other parties is attempts to disrupt the negotiating process, to undermine the task that lies ahead. we have seen some of them wanting to have second referendums, wanting to open up second referendums, wanting to open up the old divisions, and what i see when i go round the country is actually from people today, levers and remainers, whatever they voted in the referendum actually saying, we want the government to get on with it and de

iagree with theresa may but i will vote for jeremy corbyn. i like the way the jeremy corbyn. i like the way the jeremy corbyn. i like the way the jeremy corbyn said that the reason we have these problems is because we have messed around in other people's countries. instead of giving these people bread and security and been nice to these people, we have blown up nice to these people, we have blown up their children. labour or the conservatives? she is certain. lytto n conservatives? she is certain. lytton has voted for the labour party since 1997 and it looks like they trust the labour party more than the conservatives on the issue of national security. do you think that picture is reflected nationally? you would get a different result in different parts of the country. this is something that the conservatives have honed in on because they think it isjeremy corbyn‘s weak spot. well to reason me is weak on domestic issue, jeremy corbyn is weak on security. trident came up time and time again, we know he does not support renewing it but it is in the labour party manifesto beca

a single mission — take down jeremy corbyn. wherever theresa may was, she wanted this, the nearest thing this election has to a contact sport, to go her way. amber rudd was straight into the attack after mr corbyn criticised treatment of those on disability benefits. you're not credible! jeremy, jeremy, i know there this no extra payment you don't want to add to. no tax you don't want to rise. but the fact is we have to concentrate our resources on the people who need it most, and we have to stop thinking, as you do, that there is a magic money tree. you have to be accountable. i'd like to bring in some of the other parties... it has already a personal confrontation. the labour leader counterattacking on poverty. i would just say this — since amber rudd seem so confident that this is a country at ease with itself, have you have you been to a food bank? have you seen people sleeping around our stations? applause have you seen the level... jeremy... have you seen the level... i'd like to answer your attack. because of your gove

if you want watch lk, corbyn is offering it, if you want your benefits restored, corbyn is offering it, if you want tuition fees scrapped,

jeremy corbyn knows that this is a sensitive time. after a terrorist atrocity, the labour leader restarted his election campaign today, joining a silent tribute to manchester's victims. but the labour leader didn't backtrack from long—held views on foreign policy, making his case that it's time to do things differently. many experts, including professionals in our intelligence and security services, have pointed out the connections between wars that we have been involved in, or supported and fought in, in other countries, such as libya, and terrorism here at home. that assessment in no way reduces the guilt of those who attack our children. stressing his patriotism, mr corbyn repeatedly emphasised that nothing excused monday's massacre. and he had a direct message for britain's soldiers. i want to assure you that under my leadership, you will only be deployed abroad when there is a clear need, and only when there is a plan that you have the resources to do yourjob and secure an outcome that delivers lasting peace. mr corbyn promised

i don't like jeremy corbyn. theresa may wants to drive her hoped—for contrast home so after a tricky few days, our top contrast home so after a tricky few days, ourtop up contrast home so after a tricky few days, our top up of her main message, back onto brexit. to try to get away from accusations of indecision. her number one target, the labour leader. with his position on brexit, he will find himself alone and naked in the negotiating chamber of the european union. with the brexit negotiationsjune to begin only 11 days after polling day, he is not prepared for those negotiations. but i am prepared. prepared to take the difficult decisions that leadership the man's. iam decisions that leadership the man's. i am ready to go. jeremy corbyn, is not. election campaigns test leaders, don't they? isn't the emerging truth of this campaign is it is showing you a leader to be wea ker it is showing you a leader to be weaker rather than stronger? let me tell you what strong and stable leadership is about. it is about be

a labour party led by jeremy corbyn very far from it. a labour party led byjeremy corbyn that would simply chuck away at ability to defend ourselves is crazy and not the way i wa nt ourselves is crazy and not the way i want so. you see defence policy sucking in billions of pounds on trident, at a time when a conventional defence force has seen cut after cut after cut. approval for the leaders line here, today, but labour needs converts, lots of them. —— leader's line. well theresa may was campaigning in the north—east today, in an attempt to win over labour voters. she accused jeremy corbyn of deserting what she called "proud and patriotic" working class people. and as mr corbyn was outlying labour's foreign policy plans, mrs may didn't rule out a future parliamentary vote on joining american military strikes against syria. here's our political editor laura kuenssberg. what the tories might expect, a raw reception in much of the northeast england. the tories will ruin our environment. can the conservatives win around here, no! defi

yes, jeremy corbyn turned up. and the belief, perhaps, from those within the labour party, is that that put theresa may on the back foot. i just that put theresa may on the back foot. ijust don't understand why she was not here. what is she afraid of? i have to say, i think to myself, if she cannot get out and debate, how the hell can she be saying to the british public that she can negotiate? why is she such a coward? that is a ridiculous thing to say. no, it's not ridiculous. she is talking to real people and she has a lot of respect. she has been here more often thanjeremy corbyn. what is she doing tonight? she has beenin what is she doing tonight? she has been in the west country. she has done twice as many meetings, taken more questions from the public and from journalists than jeremy more questions from the public and from journalists thanjeremy corbyn ever from journalists thanjeremy corbyn ever did. he makes a speech to a momentum rally and goes away. she is engaging with real people. we did see the choice

how crucial is the speech forjeremy corbyn? i think it is important for personal reasons, much of thejeremy corbyn's political life has been spent campaigning and protesting against nuclear weapons, military intervention, american foreign policy. that is part of his whole political story. he has a very different world view than that of many previously breeders and that is integral to his politics. before jeromy corrigan became labour leader, we associated him with being on protest marches and demonstrations as part of his political dna and they think the view of his team as there is no point trying to hide away and pretend it was out his views. they don't want to shy away from this because they are trying to fight an election campaign with jonah conference centre stage, articulating his long—held views and attitudes of which has done some military intervention and particularly the wars in the middle east, we know have been central to jeremy corbyn's politics. he calculation is that we will be popular that many people in the a

although it was a u-turn for jeremy corbyn. u-turn. although it was a u-turn for jeremy corbyn. yes, which never mentioned. he said he wouldn't take pa rt if mentioned. he said he wouldn't take part if she didn't, but then he did. the guardian had got the same debate story, jeremy corbyn confronting amber rudd over cuts, in a fractious debate, but that is what you would expect with the seven politicians arguing over 90 minutes. actually, jeremy corbyn did not confront amber rudd enough, he started off, saying, have you been to a food bank, and i thought he was going to act like this is a choice between him, the leader of the labour party who has turned up, and the underling who has been sent in, and what he should have done, he should have ended with, but we don't know what theresa may thinks because she is not here to debate it, and he should have kept on persisting with that. he should have done that every time and thatis should have done that every time and that is what people should have taken away from the debate, that theresa may did not want the debate, andi theresa may d

mr corbyn has said that he won't turn up corbyn has said that he won't turn up if theresa may does not turn up, but now in this last—minute change of heart, which i think reflects the growing confidence in the corbyn camp about their campaign, it is almost a sort of act of political jujitsu, throwing theresa may onto the defensive with a last—minute surprise manoeuvre. and in this live television question and answer session withjeremy television question and answer session with jeremy paxman television question and answer session withjeremy paxman earlier this week, they believe thatjeremy corbyn came out on top. he was under pressure for some of his views but they felt that the audience by and large respected the sincerity with which he held those views. there is the broader view. team corbyn believe that the more that voters get to see and hear the labour leader, not through the prism of the national paris and broadcasters, the more that they like him —— national press. jeremy corbyn issued this challenge... it's very odd that you have an election campaign where we go out and

jeremy corbyn. there were four party leaders. one westminster party leader, one co—leader and a stunt double. the first question of the night, who is missing? theresa may. the reason any leading lady sends a stunt double is so she doesn't get damaged if things go wrong. so with this, amber rudd's tactic was clear. ignore the others, but slam jeremy corbyn hard at every opportunity. jeremy, i know there is no extra payment you don't want to add to, no tax you don't want to rise. but the fact is we have to concentrate our resources on the people who need it most and we have to stop thinking, as you do, that there is a magic money tree. you have to be accountable for the money you want to spend. have you been to a food bank? have you seen people sleeping around our stations? jeremy corbyn managed quite a few slams back. we cannot go on giving money away to the very rich. this government is proposing another £60 billion in tax giveaways in the next five years. instead i say turn it round and invest in the future of all of our peop

what is it aboutjeremy corbyn that attracts you? his honesty. he speaks on the same level as joe bloggs. hang on a minute. you are calling him a kind ofjoe bloggs, but don't we want something more in our leaders? he comes across as a normal human being. rather than a robot. sojeremy corbyn has just been spelling out the policies that labour is going to be putting to the people but what i'm picking up is that it's about more than that. at this dealership in bradford east, angela morris was having some work done on her car. i've always voted labour but now, withjeremy corbyn, i won't. i'm going to tory. i like theresa may. he doesn't look like a prime ministerfor one thing, does he? you know, i couldn't imagine him going into number ten. is it fair tojudge a man on what he looks like and say that you can't see him in number ten? i don't suppose it is, really. dougal keith has seen the business grow from a wooden shed to one that now employs more than 200 people. ultimately what is important to me are my customers and my staff, and what they need m

in what used to be an old fruit and veg market, jeremy corbyn jeremy corbyn upped his sales pitch to students in hull. labour had already promised to scrap tuition fees for english students studying at english universities from next year. now he says students starting this year will be free of fees. surely we should be investing in our future. somebody who doesn't achieve the profession they want — nursing, teaching, medicine in some otherform, engineering, — whatever it happens to be, they lose out, but we, as a society, lose out because we've lost a qualified person who can help improve our industries, improve our services, improve our quality of life. from this autumn, universities in england can charge up to £9,250 a year for undergraduate courses. labour says new students and those part way through courses would have free tuition from this autumn. the party claims this policy would cost the taxpayer £9.5 billion a year. but the tories, lib dems and those studying the numbers said the policy would benefit better off graduates most of all. if you're a relatively low earner,

i don't like jeremy corbyn. theresa may wants to drive her hoped—for contrast home, so after a tricky few days, a top up of her main message — back onto brexit... to try to get away from accusations of indecision. her number one target — the labour leader. with his position on brexit, he will find himself alone and naked in the negotiating chamber of the european union. with the brexit negotiations due to begin only 11 days after polling day, he is not prepared for those negotiations. but i am prepared. prepared to take the difficult decisions that leadership demands. i'm ready to go, jeremy corbyn is not. prime minister, election campaigns test our leaders, don't they? isn't the emerging truth of this campaign that it's showing you as a leader to be weaker rather than stronger? laura, let me tell you what i think strong and stable leadership is about. strong and stable leadership is about being open with the british people about the challenges that we face, and that's what we've done in the manifesto that

i just don't like jeremy corbyn. in last's referendum campaign, just over 60% of this constituency voted to leave the eu. just over 39% wa nted to leave the eu. just over 39% wanted to remain. i've always done that, always will. no reason why. why before the conservatives? i've been a union official for quite a few years, i'm a labour member, but ifind few years, i'm a labour member, but i find corbyn completely inflatable. blue, 0k. why the conservatives.” think she seems the strongest person to be prime minister. so you like a pro—business voice with a social conscience. yeah. and you're not getting that with mrs may? definitely not. and voting labour for the nhs. i definitely not. and voting labour forthe nhs. ithink definitely not. and voting labour for the nhs. i think there are more for the nhs. i think there are more for the nhs. i think there are more for the working class person. picture is emerging that for the two main parties, labour have got the edge here. but it will be no surprise that at the end o

voters concerned about jeremy corbyn. he up on the doorstep. voters concerned aboutjeremy corbyn. he says don't talk about jeremy. total but leadership. talk about the manifesto. it shows there is that concern amongst labour voters, and labour hq. the core members of team corbin, acknowledging jeremy is a drag on the polling numbers. people already speculating if it is a bad defeat for labour, what happens to jeremy corbyn? no doubt, the further away from london you get, you hear of lifelong labour voters saying i‘m fine with the policies, the problem isa fine with the policies, the problem is a leader. they are advised to talk about the policy is not the leadership. a significant quote, if there was a labour government, it would be collective leadership. they are acknowledging jeremy corbyn is a problem. looks like the conservatives will win, labour will move, then it will move to what happens to jeremy corbyn. move, then it will move to what happens tojeremy corbyn. they comment on some of the papers saying he should go immediately. others say he should go immediately. others

tojeremy corbyn, want to make one thing very clear. to jeremy corbyn, and to you. it want to make one thing very clear. tojeremy corbyn, and to you. it is that there can never, ever be an excuse for terrorism. there can be i'io excuse for terrorism. there can be no excuse for what happened in manchester. now coming he did not say there was an excuse for manchester and was wholehearted in his condemnation of what had happened. also, he was to blame for it, the terrorist. but in attempting to set what happened in manchester ina to set what happened in manchester in a broader context, and pose broader questions about the success 01’ broader questions about the success or otherwise of british military adventures abroad in the past, and, of course, given the timing, so soon after what happened at the beginning of the week, clearly feelings are pretty raw and that, i guess, is why we have had the backlash we have had from critics of him. andrew neil is interviewing jeremy corbyn, he has interviewed him as part of his leader interviews. he pressed him quite a lot on tri

and we have seen yet again from jeremy corbyn's labour party today that labour led by jeremy corbyn would not be unequivocally committed to the trident nuclear deterrent, they would not be able to defend this country. a jeremy would not be able to defend this country. ajeremy corbyn lead labour government could not be trusted with the defence of our country. earlier i spoke to correspondent alex forsyth, who is with the premised on the campaign trail. theresa may has been in west london doing a very brief campaign speech at. she spoke to party activists for 34—macro minutes and the themes were very familiar territory, the big focus on leadership, i'm drawing parallels between her leadership thatjeremy corbyn's parallels between her leadership that jeremy corbyn's and parallels between her leadership thatjeremy corbyn's and wasted no opportunity to comment on what we have heard from labour about the pa rty‘s have heard from labour about the party's position on trident, because theresa may thinks that when it comes to defence and security she has the upper hand. but this area of west lo

if you want watch lk, corbyn is offering it, if you want your benefits restored, corbyn is offering it, if you want tuition fees scrapped, he is offering it. but can he pay for it and is offering it. but can he pay for itand do is offering it. but can he pay for it and do people believe he can? he indicates there will be more borrowing, his argument is that it is sensible to borrow, to invest and to grow the economy. the view of critics, i suspect, to grow the economy. the view of critics, isuspect, will to grow the economy. the view of critics, i suspect, will be that borrowing has to be paid for someone at the end of the day, very often ordinary people through pensions, taxes and their children's prospects. this has always been jeremy corbyn‘s achilles' heel, his credibility not just as jeremy corbyn‘s achilles' heel, his credibility notjust as a leader but whether he can pay for his policies. thank you, norman. time for a look at the weather. here's jay wynne. the look and feel of the weather differ quite widely, warm and sunny gci’oss differ quite widely, warm and sunny acros

and labour is that jeremy corbyn and labour is that jeremy corbyn and labour is that jeremy corbyn cannot be trusted. do not take the risk with jeremy corbyn over brexit negotiations, he is not up over brexit negotiations, he is not up to the job. we have over brexit negotiations, he is not up to thejob. we have been over brexit negotiations, he is not up to the job. we have been saying that after the interview. slip—up like this at a time like this is highly embarrassing. the overwhelming feeling was that last night he did 0k the overwhelming feeling was that last night he did ok with the overwhelming feeling was that last night he did 0k withjeremy paxman? absolutely. i think the labour camp was pretty pleased with how the interview with jeremy paxman went. this morning, jeremy corbyn was at a nursery, speaking of how proud he was about spending this money and giving costings. and then within half an hour to stumble in an interview, we heard from barry god this afternoon who said this is a rapid fire of an election campaign and politicians are under the spotlight. it is not that the p

jeremy corbyn is not. nicola sturgeon launches the snp manifesto, calling for a second scottish independence referendum "at the end of the brexit process". contact scotland must have a choice about our future, a contact scotland must have a choice about ourfuture, a choice contact scotland must have a choice about our future, a choice about following the uk down the brexit path or becoming an independent country. prosecutors abandon an indecent assault case against rolf harris, after a jury fails to reach a verdict. also in the next hour — killed doing the job she always wanted. the mother of zookeeper rosa king, who was killed by a tiger, says she loved her work, and wouldn't have done anything else. and back in the top flight after 45 years — huddersfield town will celebrate promotion to the premier league with an open—top bus parade later today. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. with just over a week to go to the general election, campaigning has resumed in earnest, after a pause because of

instead we gotjeremy corbyn, the man. unvarnished. unleashed. authentic jeremy corbyn setting out the radical views he has had for 30 years. believing below the radar, his sincerity could cut through. they may love him, but what about the wider electorate? team corbyn remain convinced the labour leader is a vote winner for them. people, they believe, just need to see more of the realjeremy corbyn. and just listen to some of the rousing support for the labour leader. whenjeremy corbyn became leader of the party 18 months ago, i can honestly say that in my adult life i had never felt as excited and exhilarated by party politics. so today and for the rest of the campaign, mr corbyn's beliefs, his views, his character are going to be centrestage. the economy is still rigged in favour of the rich and powerful. when labour wins, there will be a reckoning for those who thought they could get away with asset stripping out could get away with asset stripping our economy, could get away with asset stripping our economy, and ripping off workers and consume

jeremy corbyn there. there has been a little bit of confusion here at the manifesto launch on what mr corbyn said on benefits freeze. he said after the manifesto launch and answering questions, he said, clearly we are not going to freeze benefits, that is very clear. after that he was then asked if that was a costed promise, that promise of lifting the benefits freeze, and then the labour leader said we have not made a commitment on that. so a little bit of confusion on the benefits freeze here at the labour party manifesto launch. joining me now from our westminster studio is torsten bell, director of the resolution foundation. it isa it is a not—for—profit research and policy organisation. thank you for being with us. this manifesto is a lurch to the left from ed miliband's ma nifesto ? lurch to the left from ed miliband's manifesto? how the manifesto goes down is a decision for the people on the 8th ofjune, not for charities like the resolution foundation. but what this does is set up a discussion

and this is where the corbyn factor comes in. can barrow connect with a man described as marmite, even to those closest to him? terry has been a labour party member for more than 50 years. and terry is worried. he's not their sort of person, we don't live in some suburb of london where it's, you go in a cafe and everybody agrees with you and something like that. this is downtown barrow in furness. and we get, we hear what he says but we don't believe it, it's not our cup of tea. do you think that could lose you the seat? yeah, course it could. but could doesn't mean will. four weeks is a long time in politics. breaking news from the world health organisation concerning ebola in the democratic public of congo, nine suspected cases of ebola there, three people have died, test still ongoing, so only one confirmed case of ebola but three dead and nine suspected cases. this is in a province in the north—east of the congo. the congo sadly no stranger to ebola but it had been cleared of any major outbreak for some time but on the othe

jeremy corbyn seen as party at the moment. jeremy corbyn seen as s0 party at the moment. jeremy corbyn seen as so divisive that even his own party don't want him. should a landslide happened, and i think that perhaps labour mps would like a landslide happened, then they can maybe push to get corbin out. but if it doesn't happen, the story says that already moderate labour candidates are in talks with potential donors to set up or at least sit independently under a progressive banner. as we have known for some time, because they already tried to get him out with a no—confidence vote, things are not all rosy in the labour garden. you did mention the word allegedly there! christopher hope put this together, and a long night of the paper is here, where is your sourcing, christopher. i can't see any quotes. i was an investigative journalist for many years, if i put out something without a tribute in yet, it would never have hit the air. here, this is a really damning piece saying 101 people are setting up piece saying 101 people are setting upa new piece saying 101 people ar

jeremy corbyn in action. explain what was going on here. this was on sky news, the two leaders facing questions from the public and then from jeremy paxman. jeremy corbyn first and then theresa may with 15 minutes of the audience in 15 minutes ofjeremy paxman, each being questioned about all sorts of issues. the guardian here, although this has onlyjust finished and this is an early version of the story, it isjust leading onjeremy version of the story, it isjust leading on jeremy corbyn's performance which most people what was quite good. he was tackled on some of the positions he had had before, like abolishing the monarchy, his call for an end to activities in the falklands, and his previous connections and support allegedly of the ira and sinn fein. he came across reasonably well and the guardian certainly... it is interesting because this is a verbatim response of the question and answers. there is no editorial assessment. there is not much spin at the moment. you paid quite a lot of attention to the debate. i mustn't call it a debate.

ijust have to take on some ofjeremy corbyn's fantasy economics. i mean, he has this money tree wish list in his manifesto. and the prime minister, campaigning in the west country today, defended her decision not to be in cambridge for tonight's debate. i think debates where the politicians are squabbling among themselves doesn't do anything for the process of electioneering. i think actually it's about getting out and about, meeting voters and hearing directly from voters. also on the programme tonight: the breast surgeon sentenced to 15 years injail. ian paterson is sent to prison after performing completely unnecessary operations on patients after inventing or exaggerating the risk of cancer. over four years of trauma and stress in trying to bring this man to account, no amount of prison sentence will ever compensate what myself and the other people affected have gone through. at least 90 people are killed in the afghan capital kabul after a truck bomb explodes in the diplomatic quarter. and the global accord to curb carbon emissions — is pres

jeremy corbyn, thank you. this is bbc news, i'm ben bland. our top stories: tracking down the terror network surrounding the manchester bomber. uk police say they have made immense progress. they're very significant, these arrests. we're very happy we've got our hands around some of the key players that we're concerned about. like i say, there's still a little bit more to do. more details emerge about salman abedi. a formerfriend told the bbc his behaviour had changed in the last six months. funerals in egypt for the coptic christians killed in an attack on friday. the country retaliates with airstrikes on libya. and a glimpse into the past. the bbc is given exclusive access to historic footage that has not been seen in 80 years.

jeremy corbyn believes deeply that society is unfair. that markets have failed that the deck has been stacked by and for the house and they have not. his belief is socialism which is unsha keable and he his belief is socialism which is unshakeable and he will carry on believing whatever happens in this election. the challenge is to convince the unconvince these plans are practicable and affordable. there is still more we want to see in that. how much will higher earners have it pay in tax. what about wealth and property tax. ? what more is there to learn about that? there are deeper plans, could this plan shake sterling, share prices, interest rates and ultimately livelihoods and jobs? in the end, huw, it comes to faith, whichjeremy corbyn has in abundance and in public trust, which as of now he pleasant lilacs and needs to build up, if this whole plan is to become a radical plan for government and in the simply end up as a sort of curiosity left over as a failed political experiment on june 8th. thank you very much. a reminder, you can

he is very comfortable with being jeremy corbyn. the danger is when you try to feign a something that you are not. i don't think that is going to happen with corbyn. he likes potholes and he believes deeply in socialism. that's it for election wrap, thank you again katy balls and jason beattie, stay tuned for all the news headlines injust a moment. but for now, goodbye. clearly the weather pattern has changed producing scenes like this spotted by our weather watcher. a 5°99y spotted by our weather watcher. a soggy picture in the lake district. some heavy rainfall parts of south—west scotland, wales, northern ireland. some spots got over an inch of rain. many places, more rain to come as the week goes on. a lot of low pressure in charge of our weather. still around overnight. heavy bursts coming back to southern scotland, north—west england, wales. the cloud is low across southern and western areas. some fog on the hills. temperature is not going down very far. temperatures down into the mid—teens. mild and muggy. northern ire

the opportunity was there forjeremy corbyn. how did you seeit? there forjeremy corbyn. how did you see it? slightly scrappy. shouting. yes, amber rudd was auditioning for the role of theresa may, and she said, it is going to be a coalition of chaos if they get in, and they started arguing and shouting over each other, proving that point. i feel bad because the last time i was oi'i feel bad because the last time i was on this programme i said she was within her rights to not debate and it seems like a smart decision, and it seems like a smart decision, and it was at the time, but with the poll gap having closed it is now looking more risky. but i think it would have done her more damage if she had you turned yet again and decided at the last—minute that she would be there. every single leader would be there. every single leader would have made the point that this is her yet would have made the point that this is heryet again would have made the point that this is her yet again not strong and stable, but just making is her yet again not strong and stable, butjust making

and as mr corbyn said, the policy is now in the manifesto. the problem seems to be that when certain people are asked questions, they start to talk about their personal views or raise questions. emily thornberry, who is the shadow foreign secretary, suggested that if labour were to become government, it would need to have a strategic defence review and that would mean looking at trident. and that brought the criticism, as we've reported, from the shadow defence secretary who is basically saying, no, this policy has been decided, and what's more, it's myjob to be the shadow defence secretary, not yours. all of this was overshadowing the message that labour wants to get out at the moment, and whyjeremy corbyn has been in birmingham today for an election rally, they are trying to double down on their criticism of the conservative manifesto and in particular the proposals relating to pensioners. theresa may has says she wants to put the divisions caused by the eu referendum "behind us" and get on with the job of making a success of brexit. speaki

mr corbyn needs a lot more than a brave face. i declare that andy burnham is duly elected as the mayor... 0ld faces, but new mayors in manchester and liverpool gave labour something to cheer. but what's this? where's andy burnham ? the leader arrived tonight to celebrate that manchester victory, but the actual winner, andy burnham, was nowhere to be seen. jeremy corbyn has inspired, but there is a huge question mark. can this kind of support for translate to the whole country? crowd: yes, we can! 0ne senior labour figure told me the results were catastrophic, but the leader will hardly admit that. we've had very disappointing results in other parts of the country. yes, we have to go out there in the next four weeks and get a message out. yet, with only weeks till the general election, candidates who want to stay on as labour mps are already pointing the finger. it's a pretty disastrous picture. it's simply not good enough, for a party that's been in opposition for seven years, that's heading towards a general election in five wee

and what is jeremy corbyn's plan? he promises a nonsensical fantasy policy that can only be funded through massive tax rises on younger generations. in fa ct, rises on younger generations. in fact, just recently, he threatened to increase the basic rate of income tax for millions of people from 20% to 25% to fund social care. that tells you everything you need to know about jeremy corbyn's answer to the problem. the alternative is that he sticks to the status quo, which too often provides poorer care and leaves old and vulnerable people having to sell their family homes. this manifesto, our manifesto, provides a better way. with it, i'm leading britain, while mr corbyn is simply scaremongering among the elderly and the vulnerable. it is a plan for a stronger union and a stronger wales. a plan to respond to, and deliver on, the concerns of ordinary working people everywhere. a plan to build a country that works for everyone, notjust a privileged few. it is a detailed programme for government. it is rooted in the hopes

jeremy corbyn is very sceptical about american intervention abroad, putin isn't that. theresa may wants to take this out of the eu with what looks like a hard exeter, putin is quite into that as well. that isn't actually a foreign policy concern for the kremlin. vladimir putin does have the sense of humour, but i don't think even he thinks he would stand a chance of making jeremy corbyn prime minister. it is an indication of how desperate the conservatives are to hype up this idea of corbyn asa are to hype up this idea of corbyn as a threat, because that is the biggest threat, the idea of people thinking the election is already settled, that the tories have a large majority test and. the concern is some people might not vote. boris talking about the risk of the russians subverting british democracy, which sounds rather unlikely. there are figures here from a survey of 40,000 voters by lord ashcroft which suggests an enormous landslide victory, if that poll is correct. it suggested a majority of 162 to 180 seats for the tories. bigger than tony blair's re cord tories. b
