those who died, thank you. that's all from us. we'd like to end by commemorating the 80th anniversary tomorrow of the normandy landings that began the liberation of france in the second world war. so we leave you with stills of that day, enhanced by the artist maria amaral, and with the poem "the longest day," read by royal engineer commando harry billinge. unlike many of his friends, harry survived d—day and died two years ago at the age of 96. goodnight. do not call me hero when you see the medals that i wear. they do not make the hero, theyjust prove that i was there. do not call me hero, now that i am old and grey, i left a lad, and

turned a man, they stole my youth that day. do not call me a hero, the blood and and the cries and the tears, we left them where they fell. do not call me hero, in the night i stop and pray, for all the friends i knew and lost, i survived my longest day. do not call me hero, in the years that passed, for the real heroes have crosses lined on the grass. live from london. this is bbc news. lone piper plays.

a sombre day of ceremonies to commemorate those who gave their lives in the d—day landings — which are being marked 80 years on. two days of events — in britain and france — began in portsmouth, attended by the king and queen. in normandy, parachutists staged a spectacular recreation of the airborne assault that accompanied the historic beach landings. labour says the prime minister is lying, over the cost of sir keir starmer�*s tax plans. the conservatives stand by their figures. vaughan gething vows to carry on as first minister of wales after losing a no—confidence vote. and it's lift off for boeing's starliner — with two nasa astronauts on board.

hello i'm lucy grey. throughout the day, commemorative events have been taking place both here in the uk and in france to mark the 80th anniversary of the d—day landings. a ceremony took place at bayeux cathedral with a procession from the cathedral to the cemetry. the cathedral to the cemetery. on the south coast in portsmouth the king, the queen and prince william paid tribute to the last remaining d—day veterans more remaining d—day veterans. more than a0 british veterans have travelled to normandy — the youngest 98 years old. it comes ahead of the main event tomorrow at the british normandy memorial at ver—sur—mer. danjohnson is in portsmouth where commemorations began. yes, 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? on 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 live 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. on the first day, british, canadian, american troops stormed the beaches on the first day, 150,000 british, canadian, american troops stormed the beaches to begin the invasion of france and, ultimately, the defeat of nazi germany. this was a commemoration of sacrifice and a celebration of service. admiration expressed in applause. 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 welcomed 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 there 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. and there was more royal recognition. good to see you. for these men, who 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 a country clinging to these last few veterans and the glory of their hard—won victory.

d—day started with paratroopers dropping to take out german defences, something recreated in normandy. and this evening, at bayeux, a service in remembrance, among the war graves of france's largest second world war cemetery. bayeux was close to the landing beaches and the first city to be liberated by the british on the 7th ofjune. the city's hospitals were soon full of the wounded from the surrounding battlefield. for those who could not be saved, this was their final resting place. then a moment of silent reflection for the thousands killed forcing back the nazis.

this sacred ground was illuminated in honour of the day's dead. because it is their bravery that changed the course of the war and reshaped the future of our world. danjohnson, bbc news, portsmouth. the election campaign has seen a bitter row breaking out — with the labour leader sir keir starmer accusing rishi sunak of "lying" about labour's tax plans during last night's tv debate. mr sunak said that labour's policies would result in a £2,000 tax rise for every working family — a figure he said had been worked out by impartial civil servants. but a top treasury official has said that it is not the case. in a moment, we'll look at how the conservatives arrived at that figure — but first here's our political editor chris mason. on last night's tv debate, rishi sunak said this... higher taxes, £2,000 worth of higher

taxes under the labour party. ..and again... by saddling them with £2,000 worth of higher taxes. ..and over, and over again. independent treasury officials have costed labour's policies, and they amount to a £2,000 tax rise for every working family. keir starmer did eventually say it was false. this £2,000 he keeps saying it's going to cost is absolute garbage. 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 - i are brilliant independent civil. servants, and they would not be putting anything dodgy in there. these are all the policies that have | been set out by the labour party. i 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 iii 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. bbc verify�*s nick eardley has been looking into the figures. 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 a lot of confusing figures and stats coming at us in this election. and the policies will come thick and fast next week as the party manifestos are published.

the bbc is trying to help voters pick their way through it all 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.. 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. limited polls 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 paying for the polls 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, joe twyman told us that mac next is richard in ramsgate joe twyman told us that... next is richard in ramsgate who really cuts to the chase, asking, as the pole stand, asking, as the polls 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. some put it much higher, though as my peter barnes advises us... 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 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. do keep them coming.

was done by the book, but his opponents sensed an opportunity, leading to today's vote. it is aboutjudgment, transparency and honesty. those are the three points before us. it is not general electioneering. it is about what the first minister has undertaken, and the calls that he has made. this isn't tribal party politics. this is about the good name of government, and more importantly, the person at the top of that government that rightly is expected to set the tone for that government. that person sat below and listened, sometimes in tears, before giving his own defence. it does hurt deeply when my intentions are questioned. i have never, ever made a decision in more than a decade as a minister for personal or financial gain.

never. but spot the empty seats. they, too, tell a story. a minister sacked after messages by mr gething were leaked was absent. alongside a labour member who had criticised him. consigning vaughan gething to defeat. it is now for the first minister to reflect on the will the senedd hasjust expressed. the first minister has already said he'll carry on regardless of the vote, but the route ahead looks increasingly difficult and may eventually usher him towards the exit. let's take a quick look at some of tomorrow's front pages. and the events in northern france 80 years ago feature prominently on many of the front of tomorrow's papers — on the 80th anniversary of the d—day landings. and we start with the times which publishes a large photo of the queen — who appeared to become emotional

during events in portsmouth to commemorate d—day. but its main story is about conservative election promises on crime. next to the daily mail which carries the same picture of queen camilla — and continues with tributes to the d—day veterans saying the country owes "our eternal debt to the fallen heroes" of the normandy landings. the daily mirror also leads with the anniversary of the landings and has a photo of 99—year—old u—boat spotter alec penstone — it's headline simply — thank you. another 99—year—old normandy veteran peter smoothy is on the front of the daily express — the paper says he and all the others are "eternally in our debt". the photo you saw earlier of queen camilla is also on the front of daily telegraph — but its main story is about the general election — and a conservative challenge to labour over property taxesaniand finally the guardian who also

to labour over property taxes. and finally the guardian who also pictures a normandy landing veteran meeting the king — but it too chooses to focus on the general election — and the row after last nights itv debate — "sunak lied to country over labour tax and spend plans, says starmer" — is the headline. the former chair of the post office, alice perkins, has admitted failing to realise the significance of a meeting in which she was reportedly told about the "real risk" from the horizon it system. ms perkins has been giving evidence to the inquiry into the scandal and apologised for not getting to the bottom of what went wrong while she was at the organisation. emma simpson has the details. alice perkins, former civil servant, married to former home secretary jack straw and appointed post office chair in 2011 as concerns about horizon were mounting. i want to apologise to all the subpostmasters and mistresses and their families. the inquiry was shown this handwritten note from one of her first meetings as chair. it was with a partner from ernst and young — the post office's independent

auditors. and she records them as saying "horizon is a real risk for us". "does it capture data accurately"? "cases of fraud, suspects suggest it's a systems problem". aren't those things linked together? well, clearly now they are absolutely linked together. clearly, on the face of the page, they're linked together. one follows the next. they were not, they weren't linked in that way, in my mind at that time. that's a very significant piece of information to receive, isn't it? yes. but there was also plenty of crucial information that she says she didn't know about, and neither did her board. like bombshell legal advice about prosecutions not shared by post office executives. why do you think they did it? i don't know. i really don't know. i mean, i am a believer if i can use this phrase in the cock up rather

than the conspiracy theory of life. was this done to prevent an emerging scandal from surfacing? i wish i knew. ijust don't understand it. we can all speculate, but i don't know the answer to that. but ijust... i see this as one of a number of failed turning points in this very sorry story. she says she should have asked more questions. she'll be back here again tomorrow. emma simpson, bbc news at the post office inquiry. 'the godfathers of climate chaos' — that's the scathing description given to coal, oil and gas corporations by the un secretary—general antonio guterres. in a speech to a un climate conference, he said they had distorted the truth and deceived the public for decades.

his remarks came as scientists warned the world's climate is warming at the fastest rate ever recorded. here's our climate editor, justin rowlatt. temperatures in the indian capital, delhi, hitjust shy of 50 degrees celsius in recent days, the highest ever recorded. meanwhile, parts of brazil are still recovering from extensive floods caused by a deluge made twice as likely by climate change, say scientists. it is evidence, said the head of the un today, that the world is playing russian roulette with the climate. climate change is the mother of all stealth taxes, paid by everyday people and vulnerable countries and communities. meanwhile, the godfathers of climate chaos, the fossil fuel industry, rake in record profits and feast off trillions in taxpayer—funded subsidies.

let's take a look at average global monthly temperatures over the last 12 months. each of the lines here is a year and shows how high temperatures were compared to before the industrial revolution, when the world started producing lots of greenhouse gases. this line shows the last 12 months. and, look, every single month has set a new monthly temperature records, and often by a significant margin. that's the area we've shaded under the line. the main reason — human—caused climate change. and don't expect these records to stand for long. a new report from the un's weather body says there is an almost nine in ten chance there'll be an even hotter year within the next five years. the extreme heat in india means water is being rationed in some places. but we should not lose hope, the un chief said today. we have the technology to replace the fossil fuels driving climate change but,

he says, we must act quickly. justin rowlatt, bbc news. two nasa astronauts have set off to the international space station in a new spacecraft. starliner, built by boeing, blasted off from cape canaveral in florida on its first crewed test flight. the mission has been delayed for several years because of setbacks in the development of the spacecraft — as our science correspondent, pallab ghosh reports. five, four, three, two, one. ignition. i and liftoff of starliner and atlas i five carrying two american heroes. boeing's starliner spacecraft makes it up into the sky and on its way to the international space station. looking good with speeds _ and altitude increasing as expected. on board, two of nasa's most experienced astronauts on the spacecraft�*s first test flight with a crew.

you got a good throttle up. a view from the rocket, and we see one of the solid rocket boosters fall away. the solid rocket boosters have now been jettisoned after seeing - starliner through its first 90 seconds of flight. - and then the main engine separates... got a good throttle up. i've got one. ..the spacecraft now safely in orbit. of course, you're seeing - lots of happy faces and cheers here in florida. it was third time lucky for the launch aborted twice in the past four weeks because of technical issues with the rocket, and this test flight has been delayed by almost a decade because of other technical problems in starliner�*s development. so in the post—launch debrief, the man in charge of the mission at boeing said today's success came as a relief. you know, a lot of people say, i need to smile more and i'm smiling, believe me. laughter.

but it's a little bit of controlled emotion because there's a lot of phases of this mission, and we just completed the first one. you know, pre—launch and launch is just the first part of this. we now have to get to iss, we have to dock, we have to do docking ops, we have to undock, we have to do reentry and we have to land. starliner is a brand new spacecraft that sits on top of the rocket, and this is its first test flight with a crew on board. it's been built to transport crew and cargo to and from the international space station. it'll take around a day to get there and the mission will last just over a week. and when it gets back to earth, it'll be with a bump in what's going to be the first hard capsule landing for a us mission. along with space x, they'll now be two private sector firms taking astronauts to the space station. if boeing's test flight goes well.

having competition with two providers, providing nasa with a way to and from the space station should bring down costs. and that's really important for nasa and other space agencies like the european space agency and indeed the uk space agency, because we're spending taxpayers money on these flights to get our astronauts to the space station and we want to get the best value for money. but regular missions to the space station will depend on there being no further serious technical issues. with so much at stake, it it'll be a big week for boeing. it'll be a big week for boeing. pallob ghosh, bbc news. coronation street stalwart helen worth has announced she is to leave the itv soap after starring as gail platt for 50 years. she'll celebrate her golden anniversary on the show and then step down at the end of the year, following a major storyline for the platt family. the actor said this was the perfect time to leave the most wonderfuljob in the world. now it's time for a look
