to veterans and to the public. our political correspondent helen catt has this report. seven representatives of the seven biggest parties in great britain. missing from the stage were the two men who were vying to be the next prime minister, but they weren't missing from the debate itself. within minutes nigel farage had raised rishi sunak�*s absence from part of thursday's d—day celebrations. respect our veterans, including those with an average age of 100, who were deserted by the prime minister in normandy yesterday, which i think was a complete and utter disgrace and shows us we actually have a very unpatriotic prime minister. it was dreadful. it was cabinet minister and naval reservist penny mordaunt who had to answer for her leader. what happened was completely wrong and the prime minister has rightly apologised for that, apologised to veterans — but also to all of us because he was representing all of us. penny mordaunt was keen to take the fight to

labour's angela rayner on tax. they are going to put up your taxes by £2000... that's a lie! by £2000 per working household. crosstalk. your government have raised taxes i to the record level in 17 years. i yeah, we have, and we hated putting the taxes up. angela rayner had earlier talked about labour's plan to boost the economy with green investment. great british energy- which is putting a windfall tax on the big oil and gas companies which will allow us to set up - the publicly owned energy company i which will give taxpayers' money i back, bring down bills, _ and make a secure for our energy needs for the future and create thousands ofjobs. _ the greens said it needed more. a green economy would create jobs, well—paid jobs distributed all over the country. for example, on a nationwide home insulation programme which would bring down everyone�*s bills, help with the cost of living in the here and now, give us warmer, come comfortable homes, give us hundreds of thousands of green jobs.

the snp's stephen flynn wanted more honesty about the economy. there is £18 billion worth of cuts baked in which neither the labour party nor the conservative party are being honest about. instead, they're having the worst of westminster argument between them tonight instead of being honest with you. the debate also covered the nhs. we're going to fix the front door . to the nhs with 8,000 more gps, giving you a guarantee _ of an appointment within seven days. we're going to put an end to dental deserts. - we'll have a mental health community hub in every single community. - and there were clashes too on immigration. let's change the tone! applause. let's change the tone of the debate on immigration. you know, too much of it is framed around, frankly, the bigotry of people like nigel farage. is that the best you can do? plaid cymru will stand up to nigel farage. open doors, anyone can come! of course we need... everyone come! after an hour and a half

there were handshakes and smiles, but the serious race for your vote goes on. helen catt, bbc news. let's speak to our political respondentjess parker. jess, it was unusual last night to hear a cabinet minister, penny mordaunt, be so critical of the prime minister of her own party. critical of the prime minister of her own party-— critical of the prime minister of herown-a . , ., ., ., , ., her own party. unusual at any moment but a particularly _ her own party. unusual at any moment but a particularly unusual— her own party. unusual at any moment but a particularly unusual in _ her own party. unusual at any moment but a particularly unusual in the - but a particularly unusual in the midst of an election campaign where parties are really trying to push their message and push their man or woman at the top of the party, in this case the prime minister, it was blunt from penny mordaunt saying what happened was completely wrong. and it topped off what was a pretty bad couple of days for rishi sunak. he had gone to those d—day events, he talked about the british events

but left before the international events in northern france and then fairly quickly on a friday morning said that he got that wrong and he apologised. it is, i think, said that he got that wrong and he apologised. it is, ithink, brings said that he got that wrong and he apologised. it is, i think, brings a risk of demoralising a conservative campaign that was already, as far as the polls suggest, struggling quite badly. i think the penny mordaunt to say that, it is pretty striking and unusual. what the conservative party and rishi sunak�*s campaign will be hoping is that they can move on but there is certainly a sense amongst conservative activists that there is a bit of a hangover over what in the end was a political own goal by the pro—minister. it end was a political own goal by the pro-minister-_ end was a political own goal by the pro-minister. it was 1.5 hours long, seven leaders _ pro-minister. it was 1.5 hours long, seven leaders taking _ pro-minister. it was 1.5 hours long, seven leaders taking part, - pro-minister. it was 1.5 hours long, seven leaders taking part, or - pro-minister. it was 1.5 hours long, seven leaders taking part, or seven | seven leaders taking part, or seven politicians, certainly taking part, a lot to try and get through. how much do you think that we really learnt? i much do you think that we really learnt? ., .

these debates, haven't we, this week ahead of that one and i don't think you can say there has been some kind of wow, standout moment i can that will live and i memories forever but we do have debates to come and maybe people will tune in more and more as we get closer to the election day. and we have manifested to come... absolutely! manifestos as many people know, it's the sort of a signed and sealed documents explaining every political party that this would be our programme for government and the things that we will push for in parliament. it is an important moment because what we have at the moment and the stage we have at the moment and the stage we have been at the moment is drip feed announcements from a parties every 24 announcements from a parties every 2a hours or so. they tell us the things they want to be talking about and they explain individually how policies might be costed and there is a healthy dose of scepticism but what the pant manifestos do is say

here is what the policies are going to do and they usually have some sort of costings indexed too. so we can really, notjust usjournalists but independent analysts as well and drill down into those details and say what exactly have they been saying, what are they committing to one paper and how are they going to pay for it? one paper and how are they going to -a for it? ., . ., ., ,., pay for it? calculator is at the read ! pay for it? calculator is at the ready! thank _ pay for it? calculator is at the ready! thank you _ pay for it? calculator is at the ready! thank you very - pay for it? calculator is at the ready! thank you very much l ready! thank you very muchjess parker. 0ur political correspondent tom simmons is on the campaign bus for the conservative party and we can speak to him now. what are they saying about the value of last night's debate for them? we are headin: night's debate for them? we are heading to _ night's debate for them? we are heading to campaign _ night's debate for them? we are heading to campaign event - night's debate for them? we are heading to campaign event in . night's debate for them? we are| heading to campaign event in the north—east of england. the prime minister is going to be appearing to support the big help out campaign which is a volunteering campaign. i can't tell you exactly where at the moment because there is a security protocol that surrounds him. we will be very interested in finding out what supporters on the ground,

people he meets, think about that debate and also think about the d—day issue that the prime minister has been grappling with over the last 2a hours. now, he probably wants to move on the big debate, the campaigning narrative to move away from those discussions about his diary arrangements around the d—day celebrations, or commemorations, but he is not prepared to do an interview to with us today. this is interesting. we have checked and this is national media, the bbc, are not being given an interview with the prime minister today. there is often what is called a huddle where journalists gather round the premise and put a few questions through to him. usually quite short but that is not happening today either. the vip area at the back of a bus which people might assume there might be some politicians or senior officials travelling in, that is empty today. it is quite difficult for us today to move the debate on and talk about

theissues to move the debate on and talk about the issues but let's talk about the issue very bleakly that the conservatives have said they would get rid of stamp duty for first—time buyers costing up to £105,000 on their first property. a buyers costing up to £105,000 on theirfirst property. a big push to try and win over younger voters who are trying to buy their first home. a big big issue. the conservatives are offering a raft of policies to try and win over motorists. particularly, trying to roll back the ulez scheme in london and having referendums in areas that may have low traffic protocols. to policies that they will hope will appeal to put people and voters. and they will be discussing this on his campaign events today. be discussing this on his campaign events today-— be discussing this on his campaign events toda . ., , , �* , ., events today. perhaps it's worth me 'ust events today. perhaps it's worth me just exnlaining _ events today. perhaps it's worth me just explaining because _ events today. perhaps it's worth me just explaining because we - events today. perhaps it's worth me just explaining because we are - just explaining because we are broadcasting outside the uk at the moment as well about stamp duty is a land tax that you pay when you buy properties over a certain price in

the uk and as you just said their threshold at which you would start paying that would go up if the conservatives came to power. you mentioned these motoring issues, pollution taxes, they have proved to be quite pertinent and resonant for voters in recent elections, haven't they? voters in recent elections, haven't the ? . v voters in recent elections, haven't the ? ., �*, , voters in recent elections, haven't the? they? that's right. boris johnson, they? that's right. boris johnson, the former— they? that's right. boris johnson, the former prime _ they? that's right. boris johnson, the former prime minister's - they? that's right. boris johnson, the former prime minister's seatl they? that's right. boris johnson, i the former prime minister's seat was up the former prime minister's seat was up for grabs last year in west london, north—west london, and at that point the conservatives rolled out what appeared to be a new agenda to try and win over motorist. in london there is a scheme where you have to pay if you have an older vehicle, you have to pay £12 roughly to pay drive every single day. it has been unpopular in some quarters and conservatives have said today they would reverse that scheme. it is not entirely clear how that would work because it's something that was

introduced by the mayor of london, sadik khan, but the conservatives have also said they would not do any kind of road charging, by making drivers pay per mile to drive. there are also saying that they would make it harder to rein in the amount of movement about drivers can have while they are on the road so the amount of freedom that they have two driver in cities, in particular. two or three policies there that they hope will really meet people's desires and make them vote conservative. i'mjust desires and make them vote conservative. i'm just going to reach down and grab a bit of kit that has fallen on the ground that means i will be up to he for a few seconds so i willjust plug that in. that's life are broadcasting on a bus for you! i that's life are broadcasting on a bus for you!— bus for you! i can hear now. it's auoin bus for you! i can hear now. it's going brilliantly _ bus for you! i can hear now. it's going brilliantly here _ bus for you! i can hear now. it's going brilliantly here as - bus for you! i can hear now. it's going brilliantly here as well, i bus for you! i can hear now. it's . going brilliantly here as well, tom, we've had to change studios that so you're in good company today! i would love to find out where you're heading, when we are allowed to know. tom, thank you very much. if you did not realise we were live, we have proved it, haven't we! the

liberal democrats are expected to announce that they will create a new national parks across england and jenny hill, our correspondent, is on their bus and gave us that assessment of the debate last night. it is a fairly upbeat one, they are pretty positive about daisy cooper's performance last night. as you know the liberal democrats are pretty keen to put themselves forward as the party of human beings, they are very keen to emphasise themselves as individual people, normal people, if you like. we saw a bit of that in ed davey�*s video that came out this week which showed him talking about his family life, his responsibilities as a carer for his son, for example. i think that within the party there is a sense that daisy cooper kept that line going last night. there was an interesting moment, ithink, perhaps your member that questioned the lady in the audience who said that why�*d you promise everything when you want our vote once you are elected you do not give it to us? in response to

that we heard daisy cooper referring to that terrible moment for the liberal democrats when they had to go back in 2010, on their promise of scrapping tuition fees because of the coalition with the conservatives. she said that even then, that particular moment in the party's history still haunts them. she said it was a very difficult time for us. this party knows they have to keep the trust of voters, they have to earn the trust of people who were once very much committed to them. today we are out and about in west berkshire, as you said, having concentrated on health and social policy during the course of last week, they are turning their attention to what they say is the beautiful countryside and the need to protect it. ahead of the manifesto launch on monday, the liberal democrats today will talk about plans to create three new national parks. they have already identified a few areas, they reckon that the chilterns would be a potential site for one. they are not

quite sure of the site for the other two, possibly somerset, possibly the northumberland coast don't —— coast. they are also pledging to plant 16 million trees, and eye watering some £45 million trees, and eye watering some £115 billion they reckon it would cost them over the course of five years but they say it's a necessary investment into the environment. we are not allowed to tell you exactly where we are going today or what were doing but as you know the liberal democrats are very keen to perhaps inspire those of us who are searching for a new hobby. ed davey has tried to date, paddle boarding, flower arranging, and showing off his ability at drumming. i won't puff spoil the surprise for you but we are in a way to a location where he is going to try and court new voters. pa. he is going to try and court new voters. �* . , ., voters. a little clue, they are, from jenny — voters. a little clue, they are, from jenny hill _ voters. a little clue, they are, from jenny hill of _ voters. a little clue, they are, from jenny hill of where - voters. a little clue, they are, from jenny hill of where ed i voters. a little clue, they are, - from jenny hill of where ed davey is going. we will maybe take a look at what he is up to on the campaign

trail a little bit later on bbc news. another big election is taking place across europe this weekend, people in latvia and slovakia in going to the polls. in italy prime minister giorgia meloni is predicted to perform well. denmark's prime minister mette frederiksen has been left shocked after being attacked in copenhagen. the assault took place in a square in the city's old town when a man walked up to the politician and hit her. the assailant has been arrested. she's reported to be without serious injury. her office has said she has experienced minor whiplash. there's been strong condemnation from politicians

inside denmark and abroad. helena wilkinson reports it was in this square in the centre of copenhagen where denmark's prime minister was assaulted by a man who walked up to her and hit her. witnesses say they saw a male shove mette frederiksen on her shoulder causing her to fall to the side. 0thers described what they saw. i saw the prime minister sitting with a friend at this table and it was one minute, two minutes afterwards 4 pt guys showed up to say an arrest and then she was escorted to some place in the middle of the square and then escorted around the corner. a man has been arrested but police have not given any further details. it is unclear what the motive was. the attack comes two days before denmark votes in the eu election. 46—year—old mette frederiksen, who is the leader of denmark's social democrats had earlier taken part in a european election event.

the president of the european commission was among those expressing shock at the attack. world leaders have also expressed their condemnation. denmark's prime minister is said to be shocked following the attack. helena wilkinson, bbc news. a row is intensifying between israel and the un after it added the idf military to a list of entities allegedly committing violations against children, alongside hamas. israel's un envoy leaked the news a week before the list was to be presented to the security council. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu called it �*delusional�*. violations listed include attacks on schools and hospitals and the denial of aid. in gaza, nuseirat refugee camp was attacked again by israeli forces. it comes after a strike on a un school packed with displaced palestinians, in which a number of children were reportedly killed.

0ur middle east correspondent, hugo bachega brought us the latest from jerusalem. this is a list that is published every year by the un secretary—general and it contains violations against children, killings of children in conflict and also denial of aid and attacks on schools and hospital. this row started yesterday when the israeli envoy to the united nations leaked the news that the israeli military had been added to the list. but again, there has been criticism of the israeli army because of its tactics in gaza amid mounting civilian casualties. and there has been some strong reaction since this news emerged. last night, the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the un was delusional, that the un had added itself to the blacklist of history.

the israeli foreign minister said that this decision would change israel's relation with the un. but there has been also reaction from a spokesman for antonio guterres who said that the methodology of this report is transparent, is well established, and he described this leak by the israeli envoy to the united nations as shocking and unacceptable. again a lot of criticism of the israeli military because of the situation in gaza, mounting civilian casualties in gaza. just hours before this news emerged, officials in gaza said another un school housing displaced palestinians was attacked by the israeli military and official say three people were killed and the israeli military said that hamas was using this facility base to plan and carry out attacks and this is a frequent accusation by the israeli authorities.

critics say that even if that is the case it is difficult to justify attacks that result in huge civilian casualties. bring us up—to—date on what the situation is in gaza, please. the israeli military continues with its operations in rafah which is a city in the southern area of gaza. this has been a key target of the israeli military and reports suggest that tanks have now advanced towards the coast in the buffer zone in gaza and egypt. last week the military announced that it had taken operational control in this area and it seems now that the military has advanced and reached the coastal part of these region which is known as the philadelphi corridor and it's the buffer zone between gaza and egypt. local officials in gaza have reported more air strikes and more attacks yesterday with dozens of people reported killed.

matches at wembley later on. a lot more sunshine will england and was later on in northern ireland with some showers. some showers and the scotland a chilly day here at around ten or 11 degrees but up to around 18 or 19 in the south. still a shade below we should be at this stage in june. skies were clear tonight and temperatures will drop quite quickly especially beyond sunset and across the central and southern areas, we could see temperatures as low as around three or 4 degrees particularly in the set countryside. tempers will drop and wind will pick up tempers will drop and wind will pick up and as this area of low pressure continues to pull away, we will draw in these weather fronts. the day will begin quite sunny for much of england and wales with the exception being the north—west of both. some clear outbreaks of rain to begin with. rain on and off, turning more persistent later in galloway and north—east england and wales. early sunshine further south gives way to cloud and the best of the sunshine in the channel islands, england and

wales. there will be some sunshine in scotland but sours here strengthening wind and if anything an even chillier fields feel comes as the area of low pressure begins to pull away with northerly winds which helps to develop this weather sitting through the night. rain for much of england for sunday night and into monday morning. eventually easing and sunshine and showers on monday, northerly wind, showers could be heavy foundry. if anything much coal in that as well. southern and central england perhaps 12 or 13 degrees. northerly wind taking hold even more into tuesday. we see the air getting colder, temperatures drop furtherfor a while air getting colder, temperatures drop further for a while and will recover a little bit later in the week and whilst there will be showers and there will be some sunshine too. take care.
