later today in wales. confident her message, a clear commitment to brexit and strong leadership, can win over brexiteers and labour voters. alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. the liberal democrat leader tim farron says he does not think gay sex is a sin, clarifying a question he had refused to answer several times so far during the election campaign. this is what he had to say exclusively to our political correspondent, eleanor garnier, a little earlier. i don't believe gay sex is a sin. i take the view that as a political leader, though, myjob is not to pontificate on theological matters. this had become a talking point, an issue. in that case, if people have kind of got the wrong opinion of what i think about these issues, that's something that's right to correct. so, what's changed in the last 48 hours? you are now able to say you don't think gay sex is a sin, yet the last two years, you have very blatantly swerved the question? well, i'm quite careful about how i talk about my faith. i'm not... i mea

later today in wales. confident her message, a clear commitment to brexit and strong leadership, can win over brexiteers and labour voters. joining us now from westminster is the labour mp seema malhotra. she's a former member of the shadow cabinet and serves on the committee on exiting the european union. good afternoon. we have had sir keir starmer sitting at your party's position on brexit but we have also heard from theresa may this afternoon, describing that labour party position today as by her count the seventh position outlined by labour on brexit. i think it's producer pricing to hear that from theresa may, from somebody who has so theresa may, from somebody who has so unclear about her direction on brexit and indeed she is trying to make the elected elbert —— election about brexit when we know it is not. it is about her spending on health, education, housing, public services, theissues education, housing, public services, the issues people did generally only —— genuinely vote on in the re

later today in wales. confident her message, a clear commitment to brexit and strong leadership, can win over brexiteers and labour voters. our assistant political editor norman smith is in westminster. theresa may in a labour heartland. no surprise that labour has had to get itself on the front foot today in terms of detailing its brexit policy. is that going to work? it is an almighty important question and i guess we will not know the answer for a few days yet. but labour out of it to bed this idea of brexit, or they will not get a hearing for at they will not get a hearing for at the other issues they want to get a hearing about, social care and auntie is dirty, unless they can reassure voters auntie is dirty, unless they can reassure voters on auntie is dirty, unless they can reassure voters on brexit. those issues will not get traction. we had some clarity to date but there are still areas where their opponents are going to keep picking away at them, particularly overfreedom of movement. but to reza

wales was a country that voted to leave the eu. she is making clear she wants to deliver that brexit vote and there is a very sizeable uk thought year which they are hoping will turn to them. this is what she had to say. we want to get votes and support here in wales because that will strengthen my hand in the brexit negotiation. and every single vote, for me and the local conservative candidate, will be a vote for a stronger wales, for a stronger united kingdom and as i say will strengthen my and in those important brexit negotiations. and i vote for any other party would be a party for a weekend feeling jeremy corbyn, propped up by a coalition of chaos, which would risk our national future. so leadership clearly going to bea future. so leadership clearly going to be a key issue for the conservatives, talking about a weekend feeling jeremy corbyn. they do not think that his style of leadership will appeal to traditional labour voters. theresa may has been critical of labour's record here in government, saying schools and hospitals

wales flanker sam warburton has been named as captain for the second time. there are had been months of speculation but one man seemed sure of the spotlight. 0nce speculation but one man seemed sure of the spotlight. once again sam warburton will lead the captain alliance against the world's best new zealand. it is going to be the toughest thing i have done but definitely it is the biggest honour that i have had as well and to captain the lines for the second time against new zealand ranks as the pinnacle of my career. 41 players were chosen by warren gatland and as predicted england dominate the squad —— lions. wales have four players while ireland, who beat the all blacks in november, have 11. scotland, only two. half of the squad are making their lions debut including carl sinclair, who is yet to start a test match for england. people look to sam warburton for leadership, who was given the armband despite longer captaining wales. this is the second time sam warburton has stood in front of the cameras as lions captain and even though he is injured ther

there are tens of thousands battling ocd in wales alone. i'm off to meet some of them, to see how it is taking over their lives, and how they're fighting back. deon gorle lives with his family near carmarthen. he's had ocd for most of his life. for him, his ocd is particular painful. he's overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts that his family will come to harm. she's gorgeous! whatever you do, don't fall backwards. why are you doing these compulsions, deon? what will happen? it's an overbearing feeling of — that something bad will happen to a loved one. for example, today, danielle's gone swimming with school. if i don't do these neutralising behaviours, these habits, then she'll drown. he's compelled to carry out a series of rituals to prevent such thoughts coming true. i have a counting pattern of five and four. being there were five people in my originalfamily — dad, mum, brother, sister, and me. and then now four, being, dawn, me, dominic and danielle. so these checking patterns have to be done in a five and four pattern. and then, if an

with possible gains in wales and scotland, theresa may is not just contemplating wales and scotland, theresa may is notjust contemplating a tory majority, but hoping to make true her claim, there are no torino go areas. brexit might have redraw the map, but she wants to colour it blue. yet, as she swept away, it won't be easy. here are anywhere else, the tories can be sure they will always be welcome. so theresa may says this election is about giving her a clear mandate for the tough brexit talks ahead. for labour, accused of sending confusing signals on brexit, today was a chance to clarify its position. the shadow brexit secretary sir keir starmer said labour accepted that free movement of people could not continue, but suggested eu nationals could still be allowed in if they had a guaranteed job offer. he also said labour would work harder to stay within the eu's customs union, which governs trade. and labour has pledged to unilaterally protect the legal rights of eu nationals already living in the uk. our deputy political editor john pienaar reports. this is where the election is

we can now speak to martin shipton, chief reporter at wales 0nline. a poll has suggested a surge in support for the tories which could see them replace labour as the largest party in wales. we can now speak to martin shipton, chief reporter at wales 0nline. he's in our cardiff studio. this poll will be giving a boost to theresa may as she heads to wales. tell us more about how the land is looking according to that poll? tell us more about how the land is looking according to that poll7m really is absolutely astonishing. for as long as anyone living can remember, labour has been the dominant party in wales. it is not since 1931 in a general election that labour failed to get an overall majority. and we are actually going back to the pre—democracy times of the 1850s when the conservatives last got a majority of seats in wales. so this poll that came out yesterday, it is worth making the point that it is a proper opinion poll which has been carried out by yougov, it is not one of these silly self—selecting polls, it is actually a proper poll, showing

patchy cloud for the western side of england and wales. further east, there is going to be light winds, plenty of sunshine, and quite a warm day. the west of england will be easily into the low 20s. i think around 22, 23 degrees will be the top temperatures, maybe about ten or 11 in the far north and west. but we do have a weather front drifting its way south sunday night into monday, and as that happens it is going to shut the warm air out of the way. there will be a few more showers dotted around, as well, and temperatures will be taking a bit of a tumble. hello. this is breakfast, with steph mcgovern and charlie stayt. the united states has carried out missile attacks in syria overnight. 59 cruise missiles were launched from us warships targeting a syrian air base. president trump said he ordered the action in retaliation for a chemical attack that killed dozens of people. it is in this vital national security interests of the united states to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons.

she needs to achieve a big if, turn wales into tory territory. it's audacious to pop up in rock solid labour land at the start. she was only with activists, with friends, but her appeal is to you. give me a mandate to lead britain. give me a mandate to speak for britain. give me a mandate to fight for britain and give me a mandate to deliverfor britain. she would not be drawn, again, on whether she'll raise or lower taxes. how far are you willing to go to grab seats in parts of the country that, until now, have been labour heartlands? so, i will be out and about around the country in all sorts of areas, all parts of the country, taking this message, a vote for me and a vote for the local conservative candidate is a vote to strengthen our hand in the brexit negotiations. really? from coast to coast? taking places like porthcawl would mean taking lifelong labour voters, like brian and ira, who've almost decided to do it. first time ever, if i do. because the valleys are labour. wales, labour's strong hold. i'm on the border really. i voted for out

in wales, and the tories are likely to pick up ten seats from labour. wales has been voting quite a lot for ukip in recent years, and if thatis for ukip in recent years, and if that is replicated in other places as well, if all the ukip voters bleed across to the tory party in this coming election, that will hugely boost tourism in seats where they are fighting labour and the lib dems. —— it was hugely boost tories. this poll which shows a good result for the tories is actually something which means good news for the tories in other areas as well where ukip support is going down. wales voted overwhelmingly to leave the european union, so perhaps given labour's thinking on how to deal with the brexit question, the poll may not be much of this prize, but labour have dominated every election wales says world war i, since 1922. for them to lose now, earthquake. it will be. we have these local elections which everyone forgets about next month which gives us a feeling for where it is going. the tories are chasing votes in the north of england. when you lo
