and first of two days of commemerations in europe to mark the 80 years anniversary of the normandy landings. good evening, a day is a long time in politics. this morning the front pages brough some brief respite to the conservatives. snap polls suggesting that it was rishi sunak who had come out on top in the first leadership debate of the campaign. the prime minister had referred several times in that debate to a so called independent assessment of labour's spending plans, which the tories suggest will mean every working family paying £2000 more in taxes. the prime minister said that was a figure that had been signed off by civil servants at the treasury. the only problem is it hadn't. the bbc has obtained a letter from the most senior civil servant in the treasury, the permanent secretary, james bowler who wrote to labour making clear the civil service had not been as involved as the conservativesclaimed.

as you would expect, labour is furious. here's our political editor chris mason. 0n last night's tv debate, rishi sunak said this. higher taxes, £2000 worth of higher taxes under the labour party. and again. by saddling them with £2000 worth of higher taxes. and over and over again. independent treasury officials have costed labour's policies, and they amount to a £2000 tax rise for every working family. keir starmer did eventually say it was false, but that wasn't the end of it. here was one of the prime minister's closest allies on the breakfast sofa this morning. i have worked in the treasury, and i can tell you these are brilliant independent civil servants, and they would not be putting anything dodgy in there. these are all the policies that have been set up by the labour party, and actually, if anything, they are underestimating the cost to families. and look at what she said next. it has been signed off by the permanent secretary of the treasury... yes, the most senior civil servant

here at the treasury, except in a letter written to labour at the other day and published by the party today, that very same senior civil servant says politely that claim is "rubbish". he writes that it "includes costs beyond those provided by the civil service and published online by hm treasury. any costings derived from other sources should not be presented as having been produced by the civil service. i have reminded ministers and advisers that this should be the case". a prime minister with his back against the wall, desperately trying to defend ia years of failure, resorting, and it was a flash of his character, an insight into his character, to lies. and i don't say that lightly. the political aftershocks of last night's debate, as the arguments get angrier. so what is the truth in the numbers? 0ur political correspondent nick eardley can show us why that

£2,000 figure is misleading. let's have a look at how the conservatives reached their number, how they reached their calculations. it was this, £38.5 billion black hole is what they claim, and they have basically divided that by the number of working families in the country and come up with this figure, £2094. now, that is over a four—year period, so about £500 a year. the prime minister said last night that this was the work of independent treasury officials. it is true to say that treasury did most of the sums, but political advisors who work for the chancellor were the ones who set the terms of the calculations by making assumptions about labour's policies. now over here, we can show you, this is the policy list the conservative party produced and how much it would allegedly cost. but not all of it has been

costed by the treasury. these three at the bottom that have been highlighted there, they come from other documents. for example, this one, the green prosperity plan, comes from a labour policy document, but labour insist this evening the funding would come through a windfall tax on energy companies and through borrowing. let's look at this one — in—sourcing, that's bringing contracts back into the public sector from the private sector. the claim in the dossier is that labour's plan would always be a lot more expensive, costing £6 billion. the sums are based on a figure from the think tank the institute for government, but they told the bbc that using their research to partially justify this figure was highly misleading. so the £2,000 tax claim is misleading. labour say they won't increase income tax, national insurance or vat. they will publish their manifesto soon, and at that point, we'll be able to fully scrutinise their commitments and how

they plan to pay for them. there are lots of confusing figures and stats coming at us in this election. along with the policies which will come thick and fast this next week as the party manifestos are published. the bbc is trying to help voters pick their way through all that. with a new series called "your voice, your vote". you can tell us what issues matter most to you. and throughout the campaign, our analysis editor, ros atkins, will be here to look through all the comments and questions you send in — doing his best to answer them for you. here's his latest explainer on polling. we are receiving thousands of questions from you about this election. you can send in yours to bbc your voice at here are some questions you have sent on polling. roger in lincolnshire asks... he goes on to say that their misleading, they need dividing by country, wales, scotland, northern ireland and england. well, roger, there are limited poles doing that. this is the bbc�*s poll tracker.

it shows average support for each party. it uses a range of polls from across great britain, but there are very few polls for individual nations. since this election was called, there have been four in scotland, two in wales and none in northern ireland. that is compared to over 20 across great britain as a whole. also, polls are expensive, and most are commissioned by media organisations. for a general election, more often than not, those painful poles want the national picture. now, gordon in devon has a related question. he asks, do you produce constituency polling? the first things first, gordon. the bbc does not commission poles during election periods, though we do track national polls as i havejust mentioned. as the constituency level polling, it is rare and problematic.

the bbc does not commission poles during election periods, though we do track national polls as i havejust mentioned. as the constituency level polling, it is rare and problematic. go twyman told us that mac next is richard in ramsgate who really cuts to the chase, asking, as the pole stand, how would that relate to the number of seats won by each party? the bbc does not make these calculations, but some bigger polls called mrp, polls do. and we have had several recently. all give labour a majority of well over 100 seats, some put it much higher, though as my peter barnes advises us that mac and here is a final question from aura in beckenham. why don't you show the don't know percentage? surely this figure could be significant. well, laura, you are right. the bbc does not show don't know is on our tracker. that is because each polling company measures don't know and won't vote in different ways. these differences in methodology make it difficult to show don't know is in trackers like ours.

however, if you look into the detail of individual polls, it is often possible to find that information. thank you very much indeed to all of you who have sent in questions. to keep them coming. i reminded to contact us at bbc your voice at you can find your poll tracker on the bbc news app. we will have more on that tomorrow night. two of the main battleground areas in this election will be the midlands and northern england. known as the "red wall" — the bedrock of the labour party's support for generations. at least it was until 2019, when that wall collapsed. many of the former mining towns lent their support to the tories in the debate over brexit. 0ur correspondent, rajini vaidyanathan is out on the road visiting today the different constituencies in and around greater manchester. she has been in leigh, then westhoughton in bolton west. now she's in cheadle. so you will forgive her forfinishing her day in george & dragon pub in cheadle. still sober i hope. but a good time of the night rajini, to pounce on a captive audience?

indeed! yesterday, of course, iwas at the debate in salford surrounded by politicians. today it's been all about the voters, because in the end, that is what the election comes down to, so as you say, i had breakfast in another constituency, solid labour seat in 2019. the conservatives took that big bricks at the voting area there. and then moved for lunch to bolton west, which is a bellwether c, so goes the nation. ijust had dinner here in cheadle. so i'm pretty stuffed. let's go into the pub because one of the things that struck me in all three seats that i've been at today is just how fed up people are isjust how fed up people are in this part of the world with the political class in westminster. they don't think that anyone has done anything for them. a lot of people i spoke to them bolton west earlier said they are not going to vote, they don't think that any of the leaders have got anything to offer. now, cheadle is an interesting seat

because it's held by the conservatives, but it's a target for the liberal democrats. we may have the liberal democrats. we may have the pictures that we can show you of it davey, with his bluejingo bricks saying he's going to top of the so—called blue wall, as the seat might be termed now. i will say hi to two people that we've lined up to have a quick chat with. allison, learn, where has paul going from your husband? peter, to the gents. it won't be a moment. he will be back. we will start with you, lauren. lauren, which way are you going to go in this election? i will]! going to go in this election? i will be votin: going to go in this election? i will be voting for— going to go in this election? i will be voting for the _ going to go in this election? i will be voting for the liberal- going to go in this election? i will be voting for the liberal democrats. who did _ be voting for the liberal democrats. who did you vote for last time? the lib dems as — who did you vote for last time? the lib dems as well. i find that personally speaking, they are come in my— personally speaking, they are come in my opinion, the most progressive party— in my opinion, the most progressive party and _ in my opinion, the most progressive party and i'm really excited about this election because we're so close behind _ this election because we're so close behind the — this election because we're so close behind the conservatives and i realty — behind the conservatives and i really think that if we join up with

a feeling of that. and get to allison and lauren and also to peter, i think he is spending the winnings at the bar. but good to finally get away with that. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some of the other stories making headlines today here in the uk. the first minister of wales vaughan gething has lost a confidence vote in the welsh parliament, the senedd — barely two months after he took office. the motion was brought by the conservatives — vaughan gething has faced questions about a campaign donation he received from a millionaire who had convictions for illegally dumping waste. the vote is non—binding, so the first minister is not obliged to resign. a court in florence has re—convicted amanda knox for slander, years after she was acquitted of murdering her british roommate meredith kercher in 2007. knox will not go to prison as she has already served four years for the murder, of which she was later acquitted. at the time of the investigation she accused local bar owner patrick lumumba who was innocent. a woman has been charged

with assault after a banana milkshake was thrown over nigel farage yesterday in clacton on sea.the reform uk leader was leaving a pub in the town having just announced his decision to run in the constituency. in gaza, several hundred bodies have reportedly been found in mass graves amid the ruins of gaza's al—shifa hospital. they are bodies of those killed following israel's second military assault on the hospital in march. israeli forces said hamas had regrouped at al—shifa, something it has denied. an israeli government spokesman said there wasn't a single civilian casualty during that operation, but the bbc has found evidence that civilians were killed. from jerusalem, here's our middle east correspondent, yolande knell. amid ruins that reeked of death... ..palestinians pored over what was once gaza's biggest and best—equipped hospital

after israeli forces withdrew. israel's military raid in march was the second at the site and it was dramatically destructive. four mass graves containing — local search teams say — hundreds of bodies have now been dug up at al—shifa, prompting international calls for an investigation into possible war crimes. there are reports of suspicious finds. translation: we've discovered bodies of women and children _ and people without heads, as well as torn body parts. israel's military says it exhumed bodies which palestinians had buried earlier as it searched for hostages seized by hamas. but some of the dead were patients. waleed believes his mother, lina, died of malnutrition and dehydration. her corpse was badly decomposed. translation: i identified her- from particular marks on her legs. she'd been wounded in

november and had a toe amputated on each foot. israel blames any deaths of patients on natural causes, but the world health organization says those trapped endured horrific conditions. during the siege, 20 patients died and there were patients on oxygen who couldn't get oxygen. there was not proper medication. but also the food and water — there are stories that 15 people had to share one bottle of water. israel's army says palestinian gunmen were based inside al—shifa. and that over two weeks it killed more than 200 hamas and islamichhad operatives. shifa has become a main terrorism , and centre for hamas. the surprise action by our forces was precise and surgical. but battles spread onto nearby streets. and here witnesses have told us that many civilians, including entire families,

were also killed by israeli air strikes and snipers during the al—shifa raid. a dedicated surgeon was one of those shot dead close to the hospital where he worked. i spoke to a top british surgeon who'd helped train him. he was notjust hungry for knowledge. he was very gentle and somebody who all of us would want to have as our sort of doctors. dr ahmed was off shift at home near al—shifa when israeli forces returned. after four days under siege and a harsh interrogation by soldiers, he tried to leave gaza city on foot with his mother. 11 days after his disappearance, his father says, "we found ahmed's decomposed body. " israel's military says it's unaware of the deaths of the surgeon and his mother.

many others are still searching for loved ones missing since the al—shifa raid. throughout the day, commemorative events have been taking place both here in the uk and in france. we are on the eve of the 80th anniversary of the d—day landings 6 june 191m the day that british, american, canadian and french troops landed on sword, juno, gold, omaha and utah beaches in normandy, taking the germans by surprise in what was the largest ever amphibious invasion. it changed the course of world war two. throughout the day, there have been celebrations in the uk and in france. danjohnson is in portsmouth where commemorations began. this was a day of polished national pride and shining service medals, but it was a chance to speak of one of history's turning points with those who fought to secure it. we fired the first shot on d—day. the very first? 0n the battleship, yes, the very first shot. we all did our bit. if we didn't fit in our slot, things wouldn't have worked out, would they? this was a life lesson

in the audacious invasion of normandy�*s beaches. its detailed planning, and its bravery. this mission for freedom was breathtaking in scale and overwhelming in complexity. quite simply, the future of the world was at stake. it was also a show of thanks and praise, a celebration of service, and a commemoration of sacrifice in recognition of those who lost life and limb. i landed on the evening of d—day, and three weeks later, i was so badly damaged that they had to amputate both my legs below the knee. i always considered myself one of the lucky ones that survived, because so many of us didn't. top brass came from all walks of life in remembrance and respect.

field marshall montgomery, commander—in—chief of the allied ground forces, wrote in his message to all soldiers on the eve of d—day, "to us is given the honour of striking a blow for freedom which will live in history, and in the better days that lie ahead, men will speak with pride of our doings." schoolchildren were welcome to forge links with d—day�*s last survivors, a dwindling number who are handing down guardianship of a legacy. younger generations alongside heroes. we were with the american fleet on the way to utah beach, where their worships as far as you could see. where their were ships as far as you could see. we want to thank our great grandfather and all the veterans of d—day and the normandy landings. we will never forget. thank you.

d—day started with battleships bombarding the french coast, then paratroopers dropping to take out german defences, something recreated today in normandy. there were commemorations here too for the a400 troops killed in forcing back the nazis. at the heart of our remembrance lies the sacrifice, valour, bravery and heroism of the sailors, soldiers, airmen and civilians who gave all they had. back in portsmouth, more royal recognition. it is good to see you. i will see you in five years' time. these men now carry celebrity status. joe wasn't going to let me delay his vip lunch. tell me about today's event, joe. how has it been? today has been absolutely wonderful. apart from my old knees, it's been absolutely beautiful! we have had a couple

of lovely singsongs. this was an upbeat embrace of these veterans and the glory of their hard—won victory, because their bravery on those beaches change the course of the war. they reshape the future of our world. danjohnson, bbc news, portsmouth. a special day of commemoration. the main event tomorrow. we will be right back. hello. today has brought a rather chilly feel to the weather across many parts of the uk, particularly when you consider we are now intojune. that said, a bit of sunshine did make it feel relatively warm — the sun is strong at this time of year. there have been lengthy sunny spells, particularly down towards the south. further north, you can see a few more shower clouds on the satellite picture. those showers feeding in from the north—west

on quite a brisk wind, which is also bringing us this supply of relatively chilly air and temperatures certainly dropping away as we go through tonight. although, this zone of cloud here sliding its way eastwards across england and wales, that mightjust hold the temperatures up a little bit. where we have the clearest of the skies, northern england, northern ireland up into scotland will be down into single digits, maybe close to freezing in one or two sheltered spots in the countryside. now we start tomorrow morning with a bit more cloud in the mix for some central and eastern parts of england, maybe the odd shower. that should tend to break up and then we're back to sunshine and showers. the showers most plentiful across northern areas. the odd heavy thundery one again across scotland. still quite windy in the far north, but further south, not as breezy as it has been today. those temperatures still a touch below the average for the time of year — 12 to 17 degrees covers it for most of us. now, as we move out of thursday into friday, we've still got low pressure to the north of us and this

little frontal system here working its way southwards. a band of rain with that moving across scotland, northern ireland, down into northern england as we go through the day, tending to break up into something more showery. further showers racing into the north—west of scotland, where again, it will be quite windy and a bit more cloud around down towards the south. temperatures, though, a little bit higherfor some of us — 19 degrees in london, stilljust 11 for lerwick and for stornoway. this area of high pressure out towards the west, it is making some attempts to build its way in, but not making an awful lot of progress, so saturday, still dominated by low pressure, bringing showers or perhaps longer spells of rain across scotland. the odd shower into northern ireland, northern england, further south, not as many showers, more dry weather, some spells of sunshine. those temperatures, though, pretty much stuck in that range between 11 and 19 degrees. similar temperatures for the second half of the weekend on sunday. the showers mostly across the north, drier weather further south.

manchester city chairman khaldoon al—mubarak says he is "frustrated" that the club's successes on the pitch are invariably accompanied by a mention of the 115 premier league charges they face for breaching spending rules — charges which they deny. yesterday, it emerged that city are actually taking legal action against the premier league over its commercial rules. giving an in—house interview before their legal challenge became public, the city chairman was asked about the alleged 115 breaches. he said: malcolm clarke — chair of the football supporters association — thinks the lesson from what's happening with manchester city renews the need for a regulator, and he thinks football needs it

as soon as possible.
