another massacre of civilians. cabinet minister mel stride has expressed his support for the prime ministers today when asked about rishi sunak�*s decision to leave the d—day commemorations early. he said that the prime is to recognise the mistake saying he had apologised unequivocally. let's return to this developing story where a body has been found in the search for british tv presenter and author doctor michael mosley on the greek island of symi. the 67—year—old was last seen early on wednesday afternoon when he went to a walk alone in an mountainous area. the islands mayor has said that a body has been spotted by a cave next to a beach after an extensive search operation led by emergency workers. yesterday, new cctv footage showed him heading towards a path that would have taken

him over miles of exposed hillside. the search has been widespread and has included firefighters, dogs, drones, helicopters and local offices from the island and outside. doctor mosley presented programmes on health and his books on intermittent fasting for weight loss have sold millions of copies from around the world. these family have said the last few days have been unbearable. well, as we have said, this search effort was into its fifth day today. these are some of those on that exposed hillside that have been taking part in really extreme heat at times. temperatures well over a0 degrees. let's hear from our culture reporter who joins us now from the newsroom. the fact that so many people have helped with this search is a sign of the esteem of that doctor mosley has been held

in four years?— in four years? absolutely. as you are saying. _ in four years? absolutely. as you are saying, there _ in four years? absolutely. as you are saying, there are _ in four years? absolutely. as you are saying, there are police, - are saying, there are police, tourists, volunteers, and of course, his family all involved in our search effort. the message service at —— search effort. important to say that a formal identification of the body has not yet taken place. clearly very sad and difficult time for his family who are on the island of symi helping with the search effort there. asign of a sign of how respected and loved he was, there is also being an outpouring of love on line including farm labour�*s former deputy who has credited doctor michael mosley with helping him to lose weight and he has called my doctor michael mosley a... it's really hard to describe

just how upset he is about this news. he has helped thousands of people to get healthy and i am one of those. ., ,,., ~ . people to get healthy and i am one ofthose. ., ~ . , of those. professor alice roberts who made herself _ of those. professor alice roberts who made herself several - of those. professor alice roberts| who made herself several science programmes together with michael mosley, she said that the fragility of life is so shocking. she just meeting delete to —— recently met up with him at the hay festival in may two weeks ago. she has known him for many years and her thoughts also with his family this time. adam kay who is of course the writer and his experiences as a junior doctor has also been reacting online to this news. he said this is desperately sad and his thoughts are with the family and he hopes that his memory is a blessing. it's also important to say that a lot of fans, people who you might not recognise their names, people who have been inspired

doctor mike cole mosley have also been reacted on social media in their own way and whether they followed his diet, the 5—2 or whatever it was they have all taken so much inspiration from him over the years. i think that really speaks to the way that he had that easy—going charm and the way he spoke to people in a way... health can be quite frightening at times but he made it really accessible for people to follow those diets and put their health first. i think that the reaction bc to the news todayjust shows how loved he really is. thank you very much. we will wait for confirmation after the discovery of that body in the village of symi. here, campaigning continues in in what is to be a busy week ahead of the ath ofjuly general election with another scheduled tv debate and manifesto set to be published. sunday politics programme has been hearing from the parties this morning all keen to say hello. the

positive programme for change in our country, we have had chaos under the tories for ia years and if we are elected again we will have five more years of care so we can turn the page and rebuild our country with a clear plan clear plan with which is what the labour party is putting forward and i know that's what everybody across the midlands wants to see and get behind that plan. joining us now as a political correspondent jack fenwick. to what extent are we going to see the campaign ran up a gear this week? this week is really a step change in the campaign. we have had things like tv debates starting and the big row about the claim from the premise that labour would raise taxes and what we are going to get in the next week or so is manifesto from all the main political parties and what generally comes with is a little bit more detail in terms of specific policies. we have heard quite a lot from the conservatives and the policy so far from them. we are likely to say he has similar thing from the others. it also is a classic question of how you're going to pay for this? it speaks to the

tax row that has been going on and we have seen a flavour of that this morning that nigel farage was asked this morning what public spending cuts he would make. he said that reform uk would be flashing more tomorrow. we have had challenges to labour to come clean, as they would say, about exactly what spending cuts might have to happen because we have heard from columnists throughout this campaign that the dark cloud hanging over this election, they say is that the state of public finances. they have called for the main clinical parties to be more open about how difficult that may be. more open about how difficult that ma be. ., ' . , ., may be. how difficult is it for those not — may be. how difficult is it for those not in _ may be. how difficult is it for those not in power _ may be. how difficult is it for those not in power and - may be. how difficult is it for those not in power and have| may be. how difficult is it for i those not in power and have not may be. how difficult is it for - those not in power and have not been in power for a while to understand what the finances look like if you have not got hold of the books? that's very difficult and for example, the labour party today are launching this policy around more prison places, more jails and changing the planning laws to make it easier to build more. that is to counteract over crowding in prisons. we have heard for a number of weeks

and months now that the covered service of government has been letting people out early than they have otherwise done because of that. labour are saying, that they cannot get into all the details about how they would deal with that sort of thing because they have not seen the government sees. i expect that sort of thing to come up a lot particularly when labour are asked questions about even more minute details, expect that point about there not being in government to be one that they will have to deal with quite a lot. one that they will have to deal with uuite a lot. , . . ~ m one that they will have to deal with uuite a lot. , . . ~ a ., ~ one that they will have to deal with uitealot. ., ~ quite a lot. jack fenwick, thank you very much- — quite a lot. jack fenwick, thank you very much- let's — quite a lot. jack fenwick, thank you very much. let's speak— quite a lot. jack fenwick, thank you very much. let's speak to - quite a lot. jack fenwick, thank you very much. let's speak to charlottej very much. let's speak to charlotte maguire, she is a director of the pollsters jal partners. scarlet, thank you very much forjoining us. what difference in the last ten days what difference has it made to the polls? what difference has it made to the olls? , , ., , polls? the first ten days or very little movement _ polls? the first ten days or very little movement in _ polls? the first ten days or very little movement in the - polls? the first ten days or very little movement in the polls, i i little movement in the polls, i would say last week was the most potentially significant we heck we have had yet. we will have to wait

until polls come out with new polls tomorrow and this will really take into effect nigel farage announcing his return to front line politics and fighting a seat in clacton. also rishi sunak�*s d—day gaffe and the fallout from that. we are getting a sense that there might be some movement away from the conservatives and off the back of that and in favour of reform but it is too early to tell. we will have to wait for the next few days and will get a clearer picture but overall, the message of this campaign, or the overarching theme of it, rishi sunak failing to narrow the polls, the received wisdom would be that he was going to win back some of those voters and some of those voters now saying they're going to reform and there is no evidence that he has managed to do that. how there is no evidence that he has managed to do that. how unusual is it to no to managed to do that. how unusual is it to go to the _ managed to do that. how unusual is it to go to the country _ managed to do that. how unusual is it to go to the country when - managed to do that. how unusual is it to go to the country when your i it to go to the country when your poll ratings are as low as this conservative party before the election was announced? is quite unprecedented _ election was announced? is quite unprecedented to _ election was announced? is quite unprecedented to go _ election was announced? is quite unprecedented to go to - election was announced? is quite unprecedented to go to the i election was announced? is quite unprecedented to go to the polls| election was announced? is quite l unprecedented to go to the polls in your 20 points behind when you could put it. no premise has chosen to go

and face such a deficit when they absolutely did not have to. there has been quite a lot of talk that it is caught conservative party by surprise and that has not helped its campaigning. it was an unusual campaigning. it was an unusual campaign from the start and the result might be quite surprising to me will have to wait and see. how much difference _ me will have to wait and see. how much difference does _ me will have to wait and see. how much difference does it make when the manifestos are published? and perhaps we can have a more detailed look at what is being proposed and how it is going to be paid for? we have how it is going to be paid for? - have seen that manifesto policies can make a difference in the campaign. if you think about theresa may's manifesto. she called an election where when she thought she was going to storm it and she ended up was going to storm it and she ended up losing her majority withjeremy corbyn two points per behind. that was put down to very unpopular manifesto policy which relates to the dementia tax. we can see that manifestos can impact the direction of a race. i think here that they

are probably unlikely to impact them in rishi sunak�*s favour so that firstly, that we hear enough focus group and quite a lot voters are not going to bejudging soon act group and quite a lot voters are not going to be judging soon act on what the conservative party will do, partly, because most people do not think they will be in power after the election but mostly because voters are notjudging them on what they are saying they're going to do but what you have already done. that is notjust rishi sunak�*s current demonstration by the previous ia of conservative government. secondly, labour strategy has been, is not necessarily going to win —— trying to win people over, not about not scaring the horses i would imagine we are not going to see a lot of bold themes from the labour manifesto but again, i'm not going to say a main strategy but that is well overused, but it is about not scaring anybody. i would suspect that unless something goes dramatically wrong, for either of the parties, we are not going to see a huge shift when there is manifest

get released. a huge shift when there is manifest get released-— a huge shift when there is manifest get released. thank you very much. joinin: us get released. thank you very much. joining us now— get released. thank you very much. joining us now to — get released. thank you very much. joining us now to discuss _ get released. thank you very much. joining us now to discuss the i get released. thank you very much. | joining us now to discuss the week's campaigning is a loop trail, uk director of more in common and former conservative special adviser and tom hamilton director at public first, former labour party adviser, as well. tom and luke thank you very much. let's start with you, tom, what sort of week do you think the parties have had?— what sort of week do you think the parties have had? well, i think that the tories have _ parties have had? well, i think that the tories have had _ parties have had? well, i think that the tories have had an _ parties have had? well, i think that the tories have had an ok - parties have had? well, i think that the tories have had an ok week i parties have had? well, i think that| the tories have had an ok week that turned into a terrible one and labour have had a week that has been pretty much 0k and because tories have done very badly at the end with the debacle around d—day, they will be the happier party going into week three, how weeks have we had now and have got to go because these things blend into intelligent other? let’s blend into intelligent other? let's 'ust hold blend into intelligent other? let's just hold on _ blend into intelligent other? let's just hold on to — blend into intelligent other? let's just hold on to the _ blend into intelligent other? let's just hold on to the fact _ blend into intelligent other? let's just hold on to the fact that it's the ath ofjuly when it happens and we'll know all know by the fifth,

it's just an easy day to remember, isn't it? luke, from your point of view, you have done some polling and what have you found? indie view, you have done some polling and what have you found?— what have you found? we spoke to voters in thanet _ what have you found? we spoke to voters in thanet on _ what have you found? we spoke to voters in thanet on a _ what have you found? we spoke to voters in thanet on a friday - what have you found? we spoke to voters in thanet on a friday night l voters in thanet on a friday night after— voters in thanet on a friday night after the — voters in thanet on a friday night after the d—day debacle had broken and it_ after the d—day debacle had broken and it is— after the d—day debacle had broken and it is fair to say that there was and it is fair to say that there was a universal— and it is fair to say that there was a universal negative response to the prime _ a universal negative response to the prime minister's decision to skip out of— prime minister's decision to skip out of the — prime minister's decision to skip out of the second half of those celebrations, people thought it was disrespectful and it was putting politics— disrespectful and it was putting politics above the country. it was a really _ politics above the country. it was a really negative reaction. in the interesting was it was negative even amongst _ interesting was it was negative even amongst those who you would consider core conservative supporters, those who were _ core conservative supporters, those who were still thinking about sticking _ who were still thinking about sticking with the party so i think there _ sticking with the party so i think there is— sticking with the party so i think there is no— sticking with the party so i think there is no doubt that the d—day deciston— there is no doubt that the d—day decision is— there is no doubt that the d—day decision is the defining episode of the last— decision is the defining episode of the last week and it has made what already— the last week and it has made what already was a hard job for the conservative even harder. tom, in some ways — conservative even harder. tom, in some ways we _ conservative even harder. tom, in some ways we are _ conservative even harder. tom, in some ways we are not _ conservative even harder. tom, in some ways we are not comparing | conservative even harder. tom, in i

some ways we are not comparing like with like because we have got conservative rule ia years to put the conservatives up against it when it comes to the labour party, it's all about their promises and whether you believe them. how much sympathy do you have for those swing voters who do not traditionally vote one or the other? ., �* ., , ., ., ., the other? you've always got to go full swin: the other? you've always got to go full swing voters _ the other? you've always got to go full swing voters because - the other? you've always got to go full swing voters because they i the other? you've always got to go full swing voters because they are | full swing voters because they are trying to make a decision based on the evidence in front of the men that you are quite right in saying they are asymmetric. conservatives are only gets a record and by definition labour are not. the tories do not talk about their record in this campaign their big line is that we have got a plan labour does not have a plan. there are two problems with that, one that tories do not have much of a plan and labour have set out, probably there are certain gaps that people do not know about but they have set out details about what they want in the next five or ten years more than the next five or ten years more than the tories have. clearly, voters will want to know a lot more and

will want to know a lot more and will hopefully get a lot more from all parties this week as the manifestos come out. but it is always in any election the record of the government in office is always a key thing by which the parties are judged. that is why the longer a party stays in office at the harder it is to hang on because the more things they have under them and that is particularly true of this government where people are seeing a decline of public services and the fact that the cost of living has gone up, people know that their taxes have gone up and that's one reason why the tory�*s tax tag is not landing as they want. all of these things come together to make people think well i don't know what one but i don't this government. that's why the next phase of the campaign will turn much more to what labour has to offer. ~' ., ., , :: :: :: offer. luke, tom mentions the £2000 tax increase — offer. luke, tom mentions the £2000 tax increase that _ offer. luke, tom mentions the £2000 tax increase that the _ offer. luke, tom mentions the £2000 tax increase that the conservatives i tax increase that the conservatives went with, they got a lot of criticism for how they come up with it and where did really come from and who was backing it. how damaging

was that even in the end? because once the headline is out there you can't take it back. it once the headline is out there you can't take it back.— can't take it back. it was interesting _ can't take it back. it was interesting again, i can't take it back. it was interesting again, we i can't take it back. it was i interesting again, we watched can't take it back. it was - interesting again, we watched the debate _ interesting again, we watched the debate with the focus group in milton — debate with the focus group in milton keynes and it was interesting in that— milton keynes and it was interesting in that group there was some frustration from the group that keir stormer— frustration from the group that keir starmer did not have an answer in the debate — starmer did not have an answer in the debate that £2000 claim. i think the debate that £2000 claim. i think the conservatives would have hoped that he _ the conservatives would have hoped that he it _ the conservatives would have hoped that he it would have rumbled on over into — that he it would have rumbled on over into the next few days and even though _ over into the next few days and even though you _ over into the next few days and even though you have had that treasury letter _ though you have had that treasury letter which has said it look this is not _ letter which has said it look this is notjust— letter which has said it look this is notjust based on our costings, they— is notjust based on our costings, they would — is notjust based on our costings, they would have seen at the site these _ they would have seen at the site these similarly to the brexit bus with that — these similarly to the brexit bus with that £300 million for the nhs on it that _ with that £300 million for the nhs on it that was disputed but the fact is that— on it that was disputed but the fact is that people were talking about the figure. that was the conservative hope, that people start to associate labour with £2000 even if there _ to associate labour with £2000 even if there was — to associate labour with £2000 even if there was some debate around it. but, with— if there was some debate around it. but, with what happened on d—day coming _ but, with what happened on d—day coming up. — but, with what happened on d—day coming up, that has been moved off

forcing himself into the conversation by doing things that you might think are embarrassing and humiliating but because they are played in good part, they seem like fun pictures that they exist. that's one of the most importantjobs in any small party, to wade your way into the conversation stop that seven way debate, it is small important for the small parties to be on it and it is more risk than benefit for the big ones because the most they can hope for is to get out of it unscathed. the people who watch it, the thing that you have to bearin watch it, the thing that you have to bear in mind about that debate it probably does not have a particularly big audience, you have to be quite committed to these things to sit through an hour of seven people having a go at each other. but it does elevate those smaller voices in ways that is harderfor them to do smaller voices in ways that is harder for them to do through the rest of the campaign. just to the extent that this debate happened, thatis extent that this debate happened, that is a good week for the smaller parties but their targets are different. none of them are even claiming to be making a bid to be in

government at the other side of the election they just want to maximise their representation. just being part of the conversation is really critical to them.— part of the conversation is really critical to them. criticalto them. luka, nigel farage from foot reform _ criticalto them. luka, nigel farage from foot reform you _ criticalto them. luka, nigel farage from foot reform you craig - criticalto them. luka, nigel farage from foot reform you craig and i from foot reform you craig and steven finn for the snp said to laura can spell on her programme this morning that they are expecting keir starmer to be the next prime minister, how much a foregone conclusion is it? we know what the polls that say but sometimes polls are somewhat wide of the mark absolutely. in 2015 we all expecting different _ absolutely. in 2015 we all expecting different results that occurred in 1992 _ different results that occurred in 1992 lots — different results that occurred in 1992. lots of people thought that lots of _ 1992. lots of people thought that lots of the polls pointed to neil kinnock— lots of the polls pointed to neil kinnock ending up as prime minister so there _ kinnock ending up as prime minister so there is— kinnock ending up as prime minister so there is always chance for a polling — so there is always chance for a polling error, there is also a chance — polling error, there is also a chance that an event will happen that will— chance that an event will happen that will change the course of the campaign — that will change the course of the campaign. such as, scarlet before was talking — campaign. such as, scarlet before was talking about theresa may's

and tom, thank— remain a credible opposition? luke and tom, thank you _ remain a credible opposition? ii_t, a12 and tom, thank you both remain a credible opposition? m, «2 and tom, thank you both for remain a credible opposition? m, 12 and tom, thank you both forjoining us today. now, our correspondent simonjones is with the labour leader, so keir starmer, what is he focusing on today, simon? taste leader, so keir starmer, what is he focusing on today, simon? we have come to a community _ focusing on today, simon? we have come to a community centre - focusing on today, simon? we have come to a community centre here i focusing on today, simon? we have| come to a community centre here in essex and the labour leader is currently talking to a huddle of printjournalists currently talking to a huddle of print journalists and currently talking to a huddle of printjournalists and their theme todayis printjournalists and their theme today is very much one of law and order. we have heard earlier that labour is talking about creating more prison spaces, they say the prison population is out of control and accuse government of not having enough places to house dangerous offenders but here in essex the theme has been more about the local community and anti—social behaviour. we saw the labour leader stand in front of a motorbike, a dirt bike, which had a big sticker on it that

said anti—social behaviour and labour are saying that bikes are terrorising local communities. they say that in certain places people are scared to leave their own homes —— leave their own homes they said they heard from teenage girls that are frightened to walk down the high street. laboursaying are frightened to walk down the high street. labour saying that these particular dirt bikes are causing local troubling communities and they would be new powers to allow the bikes to be crushed to get them off our streets. the labour campaign is feeling more buoyed than it did last week. a week is a long time in politics i think last sunday that the party perhaps was on the back foot with lots of debates about candidates and about diane abbott and now the candidates have been chosen that has all been resolved. after the prime minister's de data bakkal they are feeling more positive here that they are able to talk about the issues they want to talk about the issues they want to talk about the issues they want to talk about and really saying to local communities that they want to get a grip on anti—social behaviour. essex will be a key battleground in

the election because in the parliament that has just been dissolved, all 18 mps in essex were conservative so labour have to make inroads in places like this if overall they want to form the next government. overall they want to form the next government-— government. labour has been described _ government. labour has been described as _ government. labour has been described as running - government. labour has been described as running a - government. labour has been described as running a rather| described as running a rather cautious campaign then others say that it cautious campaign then others say thatitis cautious campaign then others say that it is keir starmer�*s to lose so i suppose you could just argue that you just wait for the others to make the mistakes but what is the sense that you are getting from voters in essex about how well labour are doing? t essex about how well labour are doinu ? ~ essex about how well labour are doinu ? ,, ., ,., ., doing? i think labour have their key messaues doing? i think labour have their key messages and _ doing? i think labour have their key messages and they _ doing? i think labour have their key messages and they want _ doing? i think labour have their key messages and they want to - doing? i think labour have their key messages and they want to stick i doing? i think labour have their key messages and they want to stick to | messages and they want to stick to those messages. it was quite interesting when sick keir starmer spoke to local party members chose a short time ago he was going through labour�*s big six ideas so no major new announcements today. really pushing those messages, one of them being anti—social behaviour, talking

about their chaos and the confusion of the conservative government that we have had over the last 1a years so you do get a sense of labour trying to have a steady ship here. we heard nigel farage from reform uk earlier saying he thought that labour had already run deep won the election. they are trying to not give any sense here that is certainly sewn up, they say they have got a campaign for every vote here but i think you are right, it is a very steady approach. we perhaps have had more ideas, new ideas, put forward by the conservatives over the last couple of weeks during the election campaign but of course, we enter a new phase with the manifesto is being published, we are expecting labour to publish their manifesto on thursday and that is really going to tie down major ideas. of course, as well, how it's going to be paid for. simon, thank you very much for the moment. simon in essex with the latest. let's return to our

developing story and that discovery of the body on the greek island of symi in the search of their tv and radio presenter doctor michael mosley who went missing after setting off on a walk on the island on wednesday. we are told that a body has been found in a rocky area beside a beach today. the body is yet to be formally identified and this is a steel that we have received of some of the people who have been involved in the extensive search operation that has been under way for the last five days. as i say, identification not yet formally revealed. you are watching bbc news. hello. for some of you, it's been a lovely sunny start to sunday, but we're seeing cloud become more extensive now, and will continue to do so through the rest today, bringing some outbreaks of rain. but there will be a few areas — as i'll show you — sticking with the sunshine. the cloud has been streaming out

to the north atlantic, a weather system just the south of iceland pushing its way southwards and eastwards. the further away you are from that on either side is where you've got the best chance of seeing some sunshine — some of that continuing, southern counties of england — especially towards the southwest — and also the channel islands. north of central belt of scotland, some sunny spells, too, but a few showers and quite a cold and brisk wind. it's in between southern scotland — so northern england, parts of north midlands, north wales — patchy rain or drizzle. the rain becoming more persistent this afternoon to the north and west of northern ireland. 11 to 19, the high. it is going to feel cool under those cloudier, wetter moments. nice enough where you've got the sunshine. now this evening, rain in northern ireland clears, but it spreads across much of england and wales. not a huge amount of rain, though, for some southern counties. and then later, scotland, northern ireland, clear skies, and if you shelter from that northerly wind, it is going to be a chilly night — temperatures in some sheltered valleys down to around two or three degrees. but here's why things get colder into the start of next week. area of low pressure pushes into scandinavia, opens the door to northerly winds. this weather system is what will be hanging around, though,

for monday morning, making it feel especially cool and miserable for some. parts of yorkshire, lincolnshire, east midlands, in towards east anglia — outbreaks of rain, gusty wins. that persistent rain lasts into the afternoon for parts of east anglia. away from it, though, sunny spells but a scattering of showers running down that northerly wind, and there'll be more cloud than sunshine between the showers in northern scotland. the showers wintry over the higher ground. 10 to 17 for many, so it's going to be even colder than we'll have had through this weekend, and that run of northerly winds bringing arctic air continues into tuesday, too. so a fresh but bright start to tuesday. even though it's arctic air, you've got the sunshine tempering things — still quite strong, and of course warm things up a little bit — but more cloud into the afternoon will take away some of that sunshine. scattering of showers — central eastern areas most prone on tuesday. best of the drier weather probably through some southern and western parts. again feeling rather chilly — temperatures four or five degrees below average. that continues into wednesday.

fewer showers around by then. still some showers later in the week, and it still stays on the cool side. take care.
