placed a bet on the likelihood of a general election injulyjust a general election in july just a couple general election injulyjust a couple of general election in july just a couple of days before general election injulyjust a couple of days before the general election was called. the man in question is called craig williams and on social media tonight he has said, "i put a flutter on the general election a few weeks ago, this has resulted in some routine inquiries." that's a reference to the gambling commission. "i will fully co—operate." thank you very much, chris. and you can hear more analysis of how the leaders fared on newsnight later. here's victoria. with the two contenders for pm taking heat in grimsby tonight, we'll have post—match analysis with the home secretary james cleverly and the shadow cabinet office ministerjonathan asworth. we've got a top political panel and we'll speak to the greens too on the day of their manifesto launch. all that live on newsnight bbc two, bbc news and iplayer. see you in 20 mins. thank you. now, we've been taking a closer look at one of the big issues of this election campaign — crime. for some communities it's a constant

worry, and we've heard through the bbc�*s your voice, your vote that you want politicians to come up with solutions. in cleveland, the police force recorded the highest overall crime rate in england and wales last year. they say they are working with people, and that crime is now falling. but what does it feel like for communities living underfrequent threat? our uk editor, ed thomas, has been to middlesbrough to find out. it's brutal round here. it is, it's brutal. crime. you have to be prepared, don't you. if someone's going to stab you, you have to stab them. victims. we feel degraded, like we're non—existent. they're tracked in through here. and justice denied. next time it happens, do i even ring the police, do ijust leave it? i get up and i think, why are we bothering? this is the netherfield estate in middlesbrough. what's going on? bbc news, looking at the big issues of this election. one of them is crime. what's it like here? bad. tony's born and bred here, and he's had enough. couple of windows that were getting smashed and then itjust escalated

from there to there to there. his biggest issue... i can show you something round there. ..is the damage being done. what's happened there? kids were hanging out, set fire to the fence. simple as that? yeah, because they're bored. as he showed us round, these teenagers wanted to talk. what is it like, living here as a kid? you get coppers chase us all the time. are you vaping? yeah. police have imposed dispersal orders, arrested children as young as 12, and cameras have been put up across the estate. cctv there, there. the place is covered. it's being watched. you've got the penthouse. tony showed us home after home... that's been boarded off for god knows how long. ..with smashed out windows. and that's why this is your number one issue, this election, crime? yeah, yeah. and i think everyone in middlesbrough would agree with that as well. and just round the corner... i won't even come out the house, me. ..we find claire. talked to council not to fix the windows. she's vulnerable and says she's being targeted. how many times have you had your windows put through? been going on for a year, at least once a month.

one day we had every single window in the house boarded up. living next door to this is robbie. so you've been targeted as well? no, when they did their house something popped over, flew over into mine. he works full time raising a young family. i'm a builder. so they took them out of my garden and put them through her windows. you've worked hard for this. you've grafted for all this. grafted, worked hard for it. you phone the police, what happens? nothing. not a thing. are you being serious? yeah. give us a crime number to give to the landlord so he can claim on his insurance. for the families opposite... it's why we're here. ..all this has changed how they live. soon as i'm out this area, i'm a different person. as soon as i get to the roundabout coming in, i get anxiety, she's the same. we're all the same. all of us. it's like you feel as though you can't step over your i doorstep sometimes. she used to come in, oh my god, somebody�*s been stabbed. mam, the police havejust pulled me. does it feel like politics is the answer to the problems on netherfield? no, it's the drugs. people need to knock down on the drugs. two miles away is kings road, north ormesby. we were told some shops are robbed here every day.

one has started publicly naming and shaming people they accuse of stealing. others say theft... shoplifting. ..is now normal. round here, horrific. five went in there with balaclavas on and pinched chocolate. - today? today. this morning. about dinnertime. and it was all captured on cctv. the men walk down the road, stop, covertheirfaces. seconds later, they're gone — with chocolate bars. it's scary, them coming in and stuff, because i thought obviously they were going to take the money. facing them was ellie. what was it like, witnessing what you witnessed today? it's just the usual for us, though. it's like it's happened every day and stuff, so... can you believe you're saying that? i know. no. close by is legends bar. pulled the fruit machine over. and sarah is desperate. £4,500 machine. over the last two and a half years, i've been targeted five times now. they've came through the ceiling. they've came through the back shutter. got that bad once, they even came in and pinched my kp roasted nuts.

you can't keep going on like this. are you aware of any of the criminals being prosecuted, found guilty? nobody's been prosecuted. nobody. north ormesby is one of the most deprived wards in the whole of middlesbrough. windows smashed. 94 out of every hundred crimes here last year went unsolved. welcome to beirut. as we walk around... so what's happening there, then? police are outside a door. ..an example of modern demands on our police. do you enjoy policing around here? yourjob's different every day, isn't it? busy? not a crime, but a welfare check on kimberley. got confidence in the police, to be fair, because it helps with my mental health. i'm adhd and bipolar, so yeah, they're really nice and they'll sit with you and make you feel good. cleveland police is dealing with some of the highest rates of violence in england and wales. where were you stabbed? twice there, twice there, three times there and one on my back. i'm lucky to be alive. people here told us again and again that drug dealing was the reason why so many were living in misery.

all right? let's have a look. stoned, man. that's crack. money, that, innit. how much could you sell of that in a week? hundreds. crack cocaine, on the streets, being sold by teenagers. how old were you lot when you started dealing drugs? i6. 14. i was about 14. what are the things you've witnessed here? people stabbing each other with smack needles. you've seen a shooting? yeah, yeah. and in daylight, they showed us this. what about that, man. that is quite big. it's hard round here, it's rough. are you prepared to use that? of course, man. you have to. because if you don't stab them, they're going to stab you, aren't they? but that is all because, i presume, the crack and heroin. yeah, yeah. no—one's going to change it. the bobbies can't change it. how many houses are smashed up here? the reasons that the bars are on the windows. politicians are saying they're going to sort out crime, and what they mean by that is sorting out people who are dealing drugs. what they gonna do? sort me out? come and sort me out now. so what would you want?

what do you want to say to the politicians? the politicians? catch us if you can. does this general election mean anything to you? what's going to change? do you not want something better? of course we do. we don't want to sell drugs. i don't want to sell drugs all my life. i don't want that for myself, just how it is. and this is the challenge for the next government. solving more crimes, making all streets safer. for people like tony, it's an urgent crisis. we've been degraded. we're non—existent. because you're seeing all that crime. we see the lot. whoever wins the next election, they need to step up the mark. ed thomas, bbc news, middlesbrough. joining me now is our senior uk correspondent sima kotecha. that's a very sobering snapshot of one area. what is the overall picture, and what are politicians proposing? overall, the crime rate is on a downward spiral but some offences

have increased, for example a 37% increase in shoplifting in england and wales. as for what the parties are saying, the tories say they will put 8000 officers in the heart of communities across england and wales in the next three years. they say they will introduce tougher new sentences for certain offenders and build four new prisons. labour hasn't released its manifesto yet but has already said it plans to have 13,000 more constables and police and community support officers. it says it will fast track certain cases through the courts and create thousands more prison places. but saying something making it happen are two different things. we know the courts are clogged with tens of thousands of cases in its backlog and according to the criminal bar association, some barristers are opting out of race cases because of pay and stress. as for prisons, we understand they are at the cusp of full capacity, while policing has been hit by various scandals, which inevitably affects

recruitment, retention and morale. 0k, recruitment, retention and morale. ok, thank you. sima kotecha. the uk economy failed to grow in april after particularly wet weather put off shoppers and slowed down construction. it is still recovering more broadly from last year's recession, but that follows more than a decade of disappointing growth and highlights the challenge facing whoever wins the election. here's our chief economics correspondent, dharshini david. the wettest april in 12 years put the boot in many plans — not least trips to the beach. hi. it's nice to meet you. so, tell me about this place. in margate, laurie installs tooth gems, which have soared in popularity. businesses like hers aim to make this town, where incomes are below average, a year—round destination — but there's challenges. the rain does put people off, but we do get, you know, we do get the people who come out and they go, "oh, never mind, "we'lljust find something to do." the train strikes for sure have been

a bit of a problem for us because a lot of the town itself is reliant on tourism. after rebounding at the start of the year, things stalled — zero growth as the wash—out hit retail, restaurants and construction. areas such as computer programming and publishing did better and things should improve over the summer. but there's a bigger challenge. this line is how growth, income per person, performed in the years ahead of the 2008 financial crisis. now, the dotted line is where it could be if it had continued on that path. but actual growth since 2008, this line, has been a fraction of that — reflecting many factors, including the pandemic and global inflation crisis. and that gap suggests that after inflation, we could be £10,900 per person worse off than we might have been. so how to repair that? experts say by investing more — skills, technology and buildings, for example — to boost efficiency or productivity, an area where we've fallen behind many

international peers. and we may all feel the benefits, including in margate, where it's tough for coffee shop owner mark. we get some people, especially in the winter, they come in, they have one coffee and sit here all day. all day. and it's the way of life at the moment — people can't afford to buy things. all politicians are tempted to make a splash with get rich quick promises, but it's the finer, perhaps less glamourous issues they'll have to tackle if we're to reap the rewards. dharshini david, bbc news. the green party has launched its manifesto — or list of election pledges — including plans to boost health and social care spending by £50 billion a year. to help fund this, the party says it would raise national insurance and wealth taxes on high earners. our political correspondent helen catt reports now from hove. vote green! the green party of england and wales is optimistic about this election.

its policy platform, launched at a cricket ground this morning, is big on ambition and it's deliberately big on spending, too. because here it is — a plan that would see billions go into the country's collective pocket to pay for the future of our public services. among the pledges... an investment of £50 billion — more than any other party — in health and social care. £30 billion in insulating homes up and down the country. we're the ones that will stop the water companies continuing to profit. are you really being honest that you can definitely raise all of this to do everything in this manifesto? yes, we do have some ambitious spending commitments and the greens are the only party being honest that that's the level of investment needed to get the kind of public services we need in this country. and we're not shy about talking about the changes to the tax system. that includes people with more than £10 million in assets paying a wealth tax of 1% — 2% for over a billion.

more modest earners would have to pay more too. anyone earning under 50,000 would not be affected by our tax changes. we are proposing that for national insurance, the percentage of people's salary that they pay on national insurance should be the same — regardless of their income. so someone on 55,000 would pay £5 more a week. and if we're going to have... on 65,000, that goes up to? £17 a week. that's quite a hike? the levels of tax that the green party is proposing would take us a bit closer to what's normal by other european standards. this manifesto isn't all about public money. the greens are also pushing for rent controls and they would dismantle the uk's nuclear weapons. they're being pretty upfront that they are not expecting to form a government. so this manifesto contains policies that are not likely to be enacted but do allow the greens to draw differences. they're hoping voters will buy into their plans to get to their target of four mps. helen catt, bbc news, hove.

the liberal democrats have outlined details to replace the water industry watchdog, ofwat, with what they call a "tough new regulator" for england and wales, if they're elected. on an outdoor visit to an adventure centre in warwickshire, party leader sir ed davey said the clean water authority would be given new powers to reform the industry. scotland's first minister and snp leaderjohn swinney has defended the scottish government's record on increasing taxes on higher earners. speaking to nick robinson for the bbc�*s panorama interviews, he said the policy helped fund public services and brought wider benefits. for people who are teachers or police officers, the difference in tax is very limited. but of course there are other benefits, like the fact that people in scotland don't pay for university tuition, or that they don't pay for prescriptions, or that they have, generally, a council tax payment that is about £500, £600 lower than if they were living in england.

nick robinson also interviewed plaid cymru's rhun ap iorwerth about how his party would handle the economy. plaid's leader said he wanted to have an honest debate about tax. we have a number of porposals for bringing in more tax, for example, making sure that those oil and gas companies pay more of a windfall tax, that the corporate pay more, that those who have the huge amounts of wealth are targeted through a wealth tax, so through a fair taxation system. the social democratic party has published its election manifesto — saying it wants to address what it calls the epidemic of family breakdown. it is proposing tax relief forfamilies raising children and said married couples should have priority for council houses. if you're a couple raising children, you won't pay any tax for the first £25,000, and that would make a massive difference to household budgets and take some of the pressure off parents raising children.

the ship on which the explorer ernest shackleton made his final voyage has been found on the sea floor off the coast of newfoundland in canada. shackleton had a fatal heart attack on board the quest in 1922, on his way to the antarctic. the ship remained in service for another llo years before finally sinking in 1962, as rebecca morelle reports. setting sail for sir ernest shackleton's final expedition — the ship, called quest, leaving london for antarctica. but shackleton never made it. he died of a heart attack aged a7, while the ship was in the harbour at south georgia. quest continued in service until it sank in 1962. now, an expedition has been searching the labrador sea off canada, where the vessel was lost. they used sonar to locate it. that's it. you got it. are you serious? well, look, that's what i thought.

the image shows quest lying almost intact, 390 metres down. this matches exactly the characteristics, the size, and the fact that we can see a mast. it's very clear that it's... ..that it's quest. we have some wonderful news. we have located quest. the team contact alexandra shackleton, sir ernest shackleton's granddaughter. well, i suppose at the end, the final discovery of the shackleton story. as you know, it ended when he was only a7, and the ship went on which is why this expedition came into being. it's squaring the circle. on board quest, shackleton wrote in his diary the night before he died.
