i'm karin giannone live in paris — where the centrist candidate emmanuel macron and the far—right national front leader marine le pen have made it through to the second round of the french presidential election. macron — who has never held political office — told his supporters they had changed the face of french politics, and it was his job to reconcile the country. marine le pen described her victory as historic and said a vote for her was key to the ‘survival of france'. it's the first time in nearly 60 years that neither of the country's established parties has had a candidate in the second round of the race. so what were the figures for the first round of voting? with a turnout of 78% — that's 36.4 million voters — mr macron led with 23% — and madame le pen secured 21%. conservative francois fillon —

a former prime minister — felljust short of 20% to take third place, marginally ahead ofjean—luc melenchon, the far left candidate. our correspondent james reynold was at the victory rally for emmanuel macron in paris. emmanuel macron is france's newcomer, and now the winner of this election‘s first round. he is an insider who's run as an outsider. the 39—year—old is a pro—eu, pro—business centrist. he resigned as a minister in order to form his own political movement. and his gamble has paid off. translation: i hope that in a fortnight, i will become your president. cheering. his supporters believe that the rest of the country will now rally around him. this is emmanuel macron‘s first election. the french people still hardly know him. he is now the favourite to become

this country's next president. marine le pen, the front national, will fight emmanuel macron in the final round. she won more votes than the party has ever won before. it matches her father jean—marie's achievement 15 years ago in reaching a presidential run—off. translation: the french people must take this historic opportunity, because the biggest issue is the globalisation that's putting our civilisation in danger. in bastille square in paris, some left—wing protesters faced off against the police. these demonstrators were angered by the results of this vote. they, and the rest of the country will have their final say in two weeks' time. james reynolds, bbc news, paris. let's get the thoughts of the former

defence minister. what went so terribly wrong for the socialists? 6% of the vote. terribly wrong for the socialists? 696 of the vote. the vote was com pletely 696 of the vote. the vote was completely split because of the deep tendencies of our voters. you have far left... most of our popular voters voted for jean—luc far left... most of our popular voters voted forjean—luc melenchon, that would be 2.5 million voters. most of our middle—class voters voted for emmanuel macron. well, it isa mix voted for emmanuel macron. well, it is a mix partly because of the tactical voted to have someone against le pen, but also by part by agreement because, in a way, what emmanuel macron stands for is similarto

emmanuel macron stands for is similar to what the present majority has done in the second half. will you put your support behind emmanuel macron now? with no hesitation. people like me, who have been in favour of social democracy with a probe business tendency, something looking like the social democrats in germany, we feel reasonably at ease with what emmanuel macron is saying. —— business tendencies. we may have some differences because he wants to make some economic reforms. we have been discussing this already. and partly achieved. and we would of course argue for social protection for workers, but basically we are certainly on the same line. but what of the socialist party now? we are

looking at emmanuel macron leaving his house now and the campaign trail beginning. i havejust seen his house now and the campaign trail beginning. i have just seen a headline on one of the french news channels saying the socialist party is in crumbs, is the phrase. channels saying the socialist party is in crumbs, is the phraselj channels saying the socialist party is in crumbs, is the phrase. i can agree with that. the history of this party in this generation is a fragile agreement between reform minded and centerleft social democrats and more radical socialists and we always managed to keep them together, but the policy, when i was minister, we had all these people together and jean—luc melenchon was my colleague in government, but the policy was a pro—business one. what has happened now is the disagreement is too heavy. so we are going to be like in germany with a permanent opposition

party to our left. do you think that will be... between ten and 1596 of the votes, becausejean—luc melenchon has done a very good campaign, and a centerleft party who would be stuck between 15—20%, so we need an agreement in the centre. thank you very much. senator for the socialist party and former defence minister. let's turn to the year the visor to the far leftjean—luc melenchon. he has not put his support behind the two remaining candidates. what do you expect their? he did this because, if we had a great success, it is because we thought it is not about being the far left orbiting the centre or being the right. it is for the people. the whole movement was built around the idea that people have to choose, not just one

around the idea that people have to choose, notjust one guy, notjust 196. choose, notjust one guy, notjust 1%. so we will vote. we will vote, but do we vote for emmanuel macron because we have no hope? we will fight... you have no hope in emmanuel macron? no hope. it would be the exact same politics. he decided, he made it. he worked with holylands in the execs in way. it is not swapping faces. but fighting marine le pen is my personal, it is in my dna. their raise choosing and there is the collective decision that we will take together and we will get to vote. you will take a vote on whether to go behind emmanuel macron or le pen as a collective? no, the vote will not be

between emmanuel macron and le pen. the vote will be duly vote for emmanuel macron. some have said there are similarities between the policies of le pen and jean—luc melenchon. some might want to support her. we wanted no votes for le pen. no votes. but as i told you, we have no hope in emmanuel macron. we know he is the best support for marine le pen, because in five years it will be the same thing. the so—called reformists liberalism is exactly the same thing, it will be exactly the same thing, it will be exactly the same thing. we will stand up, have to be ready in five years, it will be hard. we go back in five years and we will be in the street. i also call for the youth in great britain, we will be ready. i call them to keep in touch. jean-luc melenchon will keep going and comeback for another go in five yea rs' comeback for another go in five years' time? that is his own

decision, but if he succeeded, it is because we included all the people in the movement and we took the decisions. we fight for the way that you create democracy in all stages of society and we don't want another political party with another later, we want everyone to have, to be able to speak in it, so that is why we succeed, actually. deal have a sense of regret that jean—luc succeed, actually. deal have a sense of regret thatjean—luc melenchon has split the left—wing vote? if you put his foot together with the socialist candidate, emmanuel macron, you get 25%? socialist candidate, emmanuel macron, you get 2596? it is not adding one sticker from one party to the other for a magical solution, people are tired of that. is leaving the socialist party in tatters. people are tired of that. is leaving the socialist party in tattersm is not about emmanuel macron tearing down the socialist party. we have no regret, we were right. there was a

war on the whole political system, that decided it would die, it is, we have to move forward. we are ready, we would have liked... you would have liked a socialist government rather than a emmanuel macron president. it depends on which faces. emmanuel macron is someone who is interesting, but his political party, we don't want to rewrite the story with those who write it before us, we want a new world. so we are not quick to do it with the leader of the socialist party, because they agree with emmanuel macron. we want to write a new story. thank you very much, the user visor to jean—luc melenchon of the far left. we appreciate your time. —— youth advisor. the man of the moment, on all the papers, described himself, emmanuel macron, described himself, emmanuel macron, described himself, emmanuel macron, described himself as a patriotic choice for france during a victory

speech to his supporters. translation: i want to become the president of the whole people of france, the president of the patriots in the face of the threat represented by nationalists. a president able to protect, to transform and to build up. a president who is able to allow those who are willing to create, innovate, start work, to do it faster, more easily. i want to be a president who is going to support and help the more fragile among us, those who have been upset by life, and do that through health, school, work, solidarity. marine le pen made an appeal to "all patriots" and said it was time to "liberate the french people". translation: the time has come to free the french population,

and the whole french population without forgetting our friends overseas that trusted me, and i am very proud of the confidence they manifested towards me. the time has come to get rid of all the arrogant people who want to dictate to the population what they should do. i am the candidate for the people. and it is an appeal to all the sincere patriots, wherever they come from, whatever their origin, whatever they voted for in the first round, i invite them all tojoin us and to abandon old—fashioned quarrels and to concentrate on what is the superior interest of our country. that is really essential. with me is raymond kuhn, professor of contemporary french politics in queen mary university in london. how

interesting is at a time to be setting in french politics? french politics is always interesting, but this is a particularly fascinating time with the result yesterday, the elimination of the candidates from the two traditional parties. a fascinating time. to put that into context in how great an upheaval thatis, context in how great an upheaval that is, it's absolutely massive, if you look at the last six dictates. no more —— we will know more after the parliamentary elections injune whether the parties can save some of their deputies, particularly the right, they have got hopes of saving deputies and whether emmanuel macron will have a parliamentary for his reforms package. why do you think the french people have opted for these two candidates to go through to the second round? there was a school of thought that wondered if friends return to somewhat with experience, with authority, perhaps

france won't feel after the terrorist attack on thursday evening, but different reasons?|j think evening, but different reasons?” think there have been fishers under the presidency, and they have come to light. he was that far short of qualifying for the second round, somebody shouldn't exaggerate the blow, but perhaps another candidate we would've been talking about the right being in the second round. so i think this is the way the right arbor train it, this is a more of a failing of fillon than the right. those accusations that fillon paid his wife and family forjobs... and he is now under investigation. now that he has failed to qualify for the second round, thejudicial process will start. let's talk about

marine le pen. is it a sign of her detoxification of the party that she ended up with the vote that she did? this is a bad result for her. even in the departmental and european regional elections terrain the presidency, the national front get much better. to get 21 or 22% will be disappointed for her and she won't have any chance of winning in the second round. absolutely no chance of winning? the success of the national front and marine le pen over the last two years is that their ideas and values have infiltrated the debate. but in terms of electoral representation, getting into power, they have been a failure in that regards. if you look at what happened to her father back in 2002, would you say it will resemble in any way the second round? he was eliminated copper heads of late by his opponent who got a sense of the vote them. people generally expecting marine le pen to do better

than that amount but not emmanuel macron. she will not wind, she will get summer in the 30s. she will get some supporters, some of the supporters of a previous opponent, and some people who drifted away from le pen towards emmanuel macron will probably go back to le pen will stop it will depend on turnout, what happens in the next two weeks. stop it will depend on turnout, what happens in the next two weeksm looks like a stark choice. it looks like an eu referendum at the moment. but yet these two candidates. it is a choice between pro—europe, anti—europe, pro—globalization, anti—globalization. it is a part of arrogance, high level of incompetence on the national front. france is a divided society, but it is not unique in that respect, as we have seen in the united kingdom in the last two months. thank you very much. we have had the first round,

those 11 candidates have been whittled down to two and over the course of the next 13 days, there will only be one. back to you in london. thank you very much. the headlines on bbc newsroom live... emmanuel macron will face marine le pen in the runoff for the french presidency after the first round of voting. jeremy corbyn promises to repeal what he called the shares trade union legislation brought in by the conservatives as he takes his campaign to scotland. and a man has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of a former royal navy officer who was hit as his car was stolen from outside his home in manchester will stop he had been woken up and had gone down to see what had happened. and in sport, aaron ramsey say his team wants to wind the fa cup or arsene wenger, the manager who is out of contract in the summer. it will be in all london final between arsenal and

chelsea next month. it's 500 goals for leo messier in a barcelona sure. he blew the lid legal title wide open. and crystal palace took a giant step towards premier league safety after a 2—1 wind at liverpool. they lose ground to finish in the top four with manchester united still in the hunt. more stories at 1130. join us then. the defence secretary, sir michael fallon, has said that theresa may would not rule out a pre—emptive nuclear strike. he was speaking afterjeremy corbyn said in a bbc interview yesterday, that he would never be the first to use nuclear weapons, and that he would order a review of defence policy if he became prime minister. let's get more from our assistant political editor norman smith in westminster. thank you very much. 0dd sort of

election day, i have to say. there are on the first week of the campaign of the election campaign, you will not see theresa may out and about, senior cabinet ministers jostling to get embedded cameras, there will not be any conservative policy announcements or statements or initiatives will stop white? because they want the focus to be on this or corbyn and questions about his leadership and hope this soccer yesterday when he refused to speak out in defence of labour's nuclear policy and signalling he favours getting rid of nuclear weapons, whereas the official party line is to keep them, they want to focus on that. they've decided to say as little as possible today in the hope that all the pressure will be on mr corbyn and privately hoping that maybe there may be more moments when his leadership is questioned when he is in front of the cameras today.

all we have had today is michael fallon doing the early rounds of the television and radio programmes again trying to keep the focus on mr corbyn‘s leadership. labour want to be the next government. jeremy corbyn is putting himself forward seriously as the next prime minister of this country — somebody who wouldn't authorise strikes against terrorists, who would not support our nuclear deterrent, and who would undermine our defences. so it is very important we do point out this is somebody who could be prime minister in six weeks' time. mr corbyn meanwhile will be pressing the scottish tuc, he's not going to respond to? about his leadership, instead he will be focusing on core domestic policies. particularly moves to bolster the trained unions, we expect him to repeat... and also suggesting that there should be an investigation into the actions of

scottish police during the miners strike back in the 1980s. it was a poor graham today from labour's campaign coordinator over the trident row, suggesting it is much better to have leaders who is prepared to take a considered approach to the issue of nuclear weapons. there is no chaos. the labour party position on trident is settled. it was settled at the annual conference last year. the labour party supports the renewal of trident as a minimum at sea deterrent. i think what we learned from the trident row and mr corbyn‘s focus on trade unions today is that he is determined to fight this election in his own way with his own agenda and it's going to be thejeremy corbyn election. he's not quick to disown views that he's held for many many yea rs eve n views that he's held for many many yea rs even if views that he's held for many many years even if that at times can be uncomfortable for the labour party and does not necessarily play for the centre ground. thank you very much, norman. the government will go

to the high court today to try to delay publishing its strategy for tackling air pollution. ministers say so—called purdah rules forbid the publication of sensitive policies immediately before an election. but campaigners say they're trying to dodge a difficult issue. 0ur environment analyst roger harrabin reports. britain's filthy air was supposed to have been cleaned up by 2010 but government's found the task hard and expensive, so policies have crept along. until campaigners at the high court won their case that ministers had a legal duty to protect people from pollution. today, the 24th of april, was the date stipulated by the judge for the air pollution policy to be published. but that was until this... i have just chaired a meeting of the cabinet, where we agreed that the government should call a general election. theresa may's election announcement, ministers argued, made it impossible to publish the document now. too politically sensitive, in breach of election rules. here is the real reason

for the bid to delay, say green campaigners — dirty diesel cars and government dithering over a pollution tax or a costly scrappage scheme. the government has had five months to come up with a new plan and they've waited until the last minute to try to get out of it. it's unacceptable to leave it until the last minute. we need this plan introduced now. people's health is suffering across the country from the air that they are breathing. that's not right. it is a public health issue, not a political one. if ministers persuade the judge to delay, any prickly political decisions will come after the election. roger harrabin, bbc news. a tribunal is hearing a misconduct case against a law firm which represented iraqis claiming compensation from the ministry of defence. the case involving leigh day and three of its solicitors is expected to be the longest and most expensive ever heard by the solicitor‘s disciplinary tribunal. our legal affairs editor, clive coleman, is outside the tribunal in central london. tell us more about what this is all

about. the trying is due to start hearing this case at 12 noon today. this really follows the inquiry, and there was a public inquiry into allegations that british soldiers mistreated, tortured and killed iraqi detainees after something known as the battle of danny boy, a battle that took place in 2004just north of basra. in 2014, the report from the inquiry concluded that these allegations of mistreatment, torture and killings were, and i quote, wholly without foundation, entirely the product of deliberate lies, reckless speculation and ingrained hostility, but it did also find that nine iraqi detainees had been mistreated. the main tribunal against the law firm leigh day is

that they withheld a document, this was a list that showed that these detainees were in fact insurgents, members of an army, and that that, withholding of that document forms the main basis of these misconduct allegations and charges that they face. they are also charged with making unauthorised, or prohibited payments to a third party for cases from or by, brought by iraqis to be referred to them. cases that they subsequently brought against the ministry of defence, and also charged with seeking damages and maintaining damages claims when it was improper to do so. this tribunal, as he said, is likely to be the longest that the solicitors disciplinary tribunal has ever held, it is scheduled to be held over seven weeks in total. leigh day avoids been clear, they said the failure to disclose this key and

critical document was humid error, but they deny any professional wrongdoing and it will vigorously contest, they say, the 19 charges that they face at the tribunal and that they face at the tribunal and that tribunal, as i say, "mean today. thank you very much. police investigating the death of a man — who was hit as his car was stolen from outside his home in manchester — have arrested a 21—year—old man on suspicion of murder. mike samwell — who was 35 — died after confronting two men at his home in the chorlton area of the city in the early hours of yesterday morning. 0ur correspondent danny savage is in manchester. danny, he was asleep, wasn't it, when he heard noise downstairs and went to find out what was going on? this happened at about three o'clock yesterday morning, where mike samwell obviously heard some sort of disturbance, noise downstairs in his property, he went downstairs to investigate. there seems to been some altercation between whoever he

found out there and himself, they we re found out there and himself, they were looking to steal his car. it actually happened, from my understanding, ina actually happened, from my understanding, in a parking area behind this row of terraced houses behind this row of terraced houses behind me. mrs. samwell‘s house was in the middle of that terrace. the car was parked in an area behind it, it was fair that he was run over and fatally injured in the early hours of yesterday morning. the car sped off, is 66 plate audi a4, audi s three, an expensive car, a high—powered car, was taken from the scene, found about three miles away. the police investigation began immediately into this. he died of his injuries a short while afterwards, and the language that the police used yesterday is very interesting. they described it as a senseless murder, but they were waiting at the criminal for eternity around here, it is more than criminal, it crossed the line. there was an appeal for local criminals to search their consciences if they had

any information. that was the tone of the police appealed yesterday. early this morning, greater manchester police revealed they had arrested a 21—year—old man. he is now being held in custody, he will be questioned at a later date. people have been coming to lay flowers here in memory of mr samwell, he was a former royal navy left henning, he was 35 years old. he served on nuclear power submarines, if he had a service history and that he went to work for another company once he left the royal navy if you years ago. he was a well—liked man, according to neighbours, many people who knew him and recognised him. the investigation continues, but as you can see behind me here in west manchester at the moment, the street remains sealed off, the investigations here continue. thank you very much. let's get the weather. there is plenty of whether to speak of. my colours have been advertising the fact that we will be going into something more akin to winter it for the next two days, that processes is already under way across scotland.

it has been a tough call on the washing front this morning because we have a weather front working its way across the british isles. that is the scene if you're anywhere near that great swathe of cloud, rain and snow, this is the demarcation between this weather front, but is on its way. further south, by the middle part of the afternoon, it will be around seven. further north, skies brightened, but look at the temperatures. there will be the prospect of some lines snow later this afternoon or this evening as the wintry showers pile in. away goes the mild air, we are looking at two or three orfour goes the mild air, we are looking at two or three or four celsius to start the day on tuesday. a raw feel to the day, especially if you have got all of that breeze with that wintry nicks of showers. it bit of brightness in between doing nothing for the temperatures. this is bbc newsroom live. 0ur our main highlights at 11 30 2am:

political newcomer emmanuel macron faces far—right leader marine le pen in the run—off for the french presidency. it is the first time in 60 years that the second round doesn't include a candidate from the two mainstream parties. translation: i want to become the president of all the people of france, the president of the patriots. translation: the time has come to get rid of all the arrogant people who wanted to dictate to the population what they should do. i am the candidate for the people. parties hit the campaign trail across the uk — jeremy corbyn attempts to win back support for labour in scotland and paul nuttall spells out ukip's key pledges. a man has been arrested over the death of an ex—royal navy officer who was hit as his car was stolen from outside his home in manchester. a 21—year—old is being held on suspicion of murder and is due to be questioned. four tram drivers admit to falling asleep on a line in croydon,

where seven people died after derailment last year. drivers say a safety device, known as "a dead man's handle", failed to activate and stop their trams. time for the sports update. good morning. arsene wenger refused to be drawn on what the future holds for him at arsenal after his side set up an fa cup final against chelsea in next month following 2—1 extra time win over manchester city at wembley. they did it the hard way in the semi final — coming from behind after city had taken the lead through sergio aguero. arsenal found an equaliser through nacho monreal to send the game into extra time, before alexis sanchez got the winner. they have question of a lot recently

and we have gone through some tough times. difficult time so you can be divided, what is natural inclination, or you can be united andi inclination, or you can be united and i think today it has shown the right response that we are capable to be together. we are not in the final, we try to do it, create more chances again... i don't have too many regrets, i do not have regrets for the team, we tried. city's exit from the fa cup means no trophies this season for pep guradiola and manchester united are breathing down their rivals' necks in the premier league. a 2—0 win at burnley means jose mourinho's side are nowjust a point behind city and the fourth champions league spot. which gives thursday's manchester derby an extra bit of spice. united have something of an injury crisis, which meant wayne rooney made just his second premier league start of the year but he and anthony martial scored for united

to secure the win. meanwhile united striker zlatan ibrahimovic says "giving up is not an option" — he's out for several months after suffering a serious knee injury against anderlecht in the europa league last week. there had been speculation that the 35—year—old could retire given the injury. but he's said on social media this morning that he "will come back even stronger". third placed liverpool slipped up, losing 2—1 at home to crystal palace. liverpool had taken the lead but two goals by former liverpool forward christian benteke gave palace the victory and eases their relegation worries. the barcelona manager has described messy as the best player in history as he's got his 500 goalfor messy as the best player in history as he's got his 500 goal for the club. messi struck twice. it was 2—2

going into the final ten seconds of injury time. look at those. messi scoring a dramatic winner. they are now top of lolita on goal difference. —— la liga. almost 40,000 runners completed the london marathon yesterday — there are always so many inspiring stories. one in particular has generated huge interest the pictures of runner david wyeth being helped over the line by fellow competitor matthew rees. the clip on the bbc sport facebook site alone has been viewed more than five million times. david received medical attention after the race and thankfully was ok. this morning the pair were reunited. he was telling me to go on, i wanted to make sure he got to the finish line. thank you. i am so grateful. i

can't say how grateful i am timothy because you say that, matthew, that others would not stop, i'm sure there would been others that you persisted. i told you to go and you did not. no worries. it is fine. great story. a friend for life there. that's all sport for now. that was gorgeous, really sweet. thank you very much. for drivers have admitted falling asleep while operating trends in croydon. drivers have told the bbc a safety device known as a dead man's handle failed to activate and stop their chance. 0ur correspondent ed thomas reports. a speeding tram. no emergency braking. the sandylands disaster — here, seven people were killed, over 50 injured. have you fallen asleep? yeah. it's happened to me once in ten years. how many drivers do you think have fallen asleep in the cabin?

i would have to say most drivers have at some point in their careers. he's admitting what many would consider gross misconduct because of this. it is called the traction brake controller or tbc — the driving lever that powers the tram. inside, the safety device known as the dead man's handle. this driver says when he fell asleep it didn't work. was there an alarm? no. was there any emergency braking? no, none whatsoever. my hand remained on the tbc. that was enough to keep the dead man's handle from being activated. why aren't drivers telling the operators what's going wrong? if we were to come forward and say, "excuse me, ifellasleep", i think we'd just been dismissed. four drivers have told the bbc they'd fallen asleep in the cab. and they asked us to watch this footage again — a tram driver who appears

to be asleep. there's no alarm, no emergency brakes. he's in and out of the sleep, isn't he? he's coming to and starting to doze, and coming to and starting to doze. why was there no alarm? why was there no braking? well, because... if he were to completely pass out, if he were to completely lose consciousness, then he would relax his grip. but it's ok just to slightly doze in and out, like we saw in the video footage? no, of course it's not all right. the company who operates the transfer tfl, tram 0perations limited, says driver fatigue is monitored and, on the driver's safety device, says it is satisfied the controls are fully functional. we can also reveal at least three trams have been recorded speeding since the sandylands derailment. one was travelling at 65 kilometres per hour in a 40 zone. the operator told us

it had increased speed checks since the sandylands crash. it's changed my life. he did everything for us. they are still waiting for answers, the families of those who died. my daughters are just devastated. what is the one question you want answering? why... why. investigators are trying to answer that question — to piece together a disaster that changed so many lives. ed thomas, bbc news, croydon. at its peak, the mixture camp known as thejungle at its peak, the mixture camp known as the jungle with 20 75 —— at its peak the make—shift camp, known as thejungle in calais, as thejungle in calais, was home to 7,000 migrants; most were looking for a route into the uk. is

six months ago it was shut down, and authorities say there are only about 100 migrants still in the french port. but a report seen by the bbc puts the figure at four times that —— with migrants, including unaccompanied children, sleeping rough in calais as well as paris. graham satchell has been to northern france to see the impact of the camps closure. six months after thejungle closed, the centre of calais is a picture of calm. cafe culture at its most serene. the port, so long the destination for migrants is running normally. lorry traffic is up 10% this year. it's very quiet. wtih lorries before we had 8,000 migrants per month that we would discover, today that is down to 300. it is nearly nothing. the jungle was home to some 10,000 migrants. it came to be seen by the authorities as a magnet for people wanting to get to britain. so did closing it solve the problem? i've had bottles, rocks, bricks thrown at the truck. when he crosses the border into france, jacob won't stop.

so we caught up with him in belgium. although it's safer getting in and out of france the problem now is that you don't feel safe in more areas of france. it hasn't gone away. it has simply moved the problem. six in the evening. 0n the corner of an industrial estate in calais, a nightly ritual is played out. charities hand out food and clothes to migrants. most are teenagers without their parents, like this 15—year—old from eritrea. yes, england. you want to go to england? yes. and do you have family there? yes, my uncle. your uncle is there? why do you not stay here and claim asylum here in france? i do not like it. you do not like to stay in france? yes. the report out today from the refugee rights data project says there are about 400 migrants in calais today, many sleeping in the woods. public opinion has hardened

for all forms of migration, but michael mchugh from the refugee youth service says genuine asylum claims must be heard. it is not about what people want or do not want. we have tens of thousands of children moving across europe. there is a legal right for many of these children to go to the uk. it is being actively obstructed. 30 minutes from calais, this is what is left of another migrant camp near dunkirk. it burnt down after a fight between rival groups of kurds and afghans. this is where many migrants came when thejungle closed. the french government had plans in place to dismantle this camp before the fire. the government wants to pretend that the problem does not exist and their strategy is to destroy the places where people live, thinking that if we destroy their places and they have no places to be they will disappear. just after seven in calais, the police move in. the french determined another camp will not be established.

one of the migrants is arrested. the problem here has been alleviated but not solved. as the weather improves, thousands of migrants are already on the move across the middle east and africa. many will make it here in the hope of getting to the uk. ukip have announced they will campaignfora ukip have announced they will campaign for a moratorium on new publicly funded islamic schools. they also want the parents of girls who are subjected to genital mutilation to face prosecution. we can go lifted central london where our political respondent has been listening to paul nuttall making a speech. tell us more about the policies you have had outlined. it was paul nuttall, the ukip leader, but several other ukip leaders, the party's leader out raiding our whole range of policy

proposals that may form part of the ma nifesto. proposals that may form part of the manifesto. there moratorium on new publicly funded islamic schools, interviews the first edition of fgm cases, a ban on face covering in public places. ukip says this is all about improving integration, they say that is the focus and the party leader says this is not about sowing the seeds of division. we can talk to some of this with the party's deputy leader now. hello. many of these policies do target the muslim committee specifically, if they're not a danger that in doing that, you actually increase segregation rather than integration? i do not think there can be any better way of segregating them for example wearing the face fell. i think that is a literal barrier to integration. i think that is something that there is great public support for getting

rid of and they think the point really is that we have reached a stage in this country where we have gone down one route, which was a public policy as module cultures which was about separation, not about integration. whether it is trevor phillips or angola merkel or david cameron, people have been saying that monetary culturalism is afailure, a saying that monetary culturalism is a failure, a bad idea, but they have done nothing about it. we are attempting to address it. this is something that is increasing concern toa something that is increasing concern to a majority of people in this country and i think it should play its part just country and i think it should play its partjust as much as brexit in this election. you are not mentioning any other religions except for islam, can you understand why people might think this is an attack on a muslim committee? no, it comes to things the veil, france has banned it, belgium has banned it. the biggest parliamentary party in the eu parliament has recently called for an eu wide ban on it. there is a growing concern in europe

about the quake immediate effects this has in terms of segregating people and indeed being an absolute symbol of subjugation of women, i would say. is it the case that you think you have lost the brexit argument because theresa may has now made that commitment because you keep searching the things to win voters over and you are going down this radical root? we have always been radical in ukip. i think ten yea rs been radical in ukip. i think ten years ago you would have been treating me, ithink, like some crazy person if i'd been talking about coming out of the eu. i think in ten years' time people say it will be kind of quite a common mainstream view, indeed it is upon the public already, it is not amongst the liberal elites. there have been some constituencies where local ukip buddies have said they we re local ukip buddies have said they were not filled canisters about broad brexit tory mps. is that an official party policy? is it because you do not have enough candidates? we won the argument last year. we

had a referendum and the one that would never have happened without us and we won the argument. no, it is not official party policy, it is not coming from the top, not at all. it is actually just coming from the top, not at all. it is actuallyjust is a certain constituencies it isn't one not to bid up candidates against someone who has really worked hard the brexit. they should be allowed to. i do not know how many people that will be but i imagine quite a small number. it is not something that is coming from the top. do you still believe your policies can cut through beyond brexit? absolutely. i think we are more important than now, i think back in 2014 or something, i think they were saying we had no point because cameron had just put forward the referendum, if you remember. here we still are. in fa ct, you remember. here we still are. in fact, we will continue to address the sorts of issues that other parties simply won't go near. thank you very much. that is ukip's debited leader outlining some of the

policy platforms that the party may stand on in this election. we are press c0 nfe re nce stand on in this election. we are press conference territory already. the campaign is pretty much in full swing. thank you very much. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour but first, the headlines on bbc newsroom live. emmanuel macron will face merrily pen for the french presidency after the first round of voting. jeremy corbyn is promising to reveal what he called vicious trade union legislation brought in by the conservatives as he takes his campaign to scotland. four tram drivers admit they fell asleep on a line in croydon where seven people died after a derailment last year. good morning. i have the business news. capping household energy bills will not benefit customers — and could lead to higher prices according to one of the uk‘s biggest energy providers. the warning comes after the conservative party said it might intervene to limit energy prices to help the poorest families. shares in gas and electricity firms

were hit by the announcement. british gas owner centrica and sse both among the biggest fallers on the ftse100 this morning. philips, the dutch company that makes medical devices and health care products, has reported a big jump in profits for the first three months of the year. that's after it sold off its lighting business last year. profits soared to £219 million or the three months to the end of march, compared with just over £31 million in the same period last year. jimmy choo is looking for potential buyers to step forward. the luxury shoe maker is inviting potential offers for a sale of the business. the firm said it had not received any bids yet and was also considering other options. jimmy choo also produces other luxury goods, but sales have slowed in recent years. its footwear is often seen on the red carpet worn by the likes ofjennifer lopez and bella hadid. the euro has strengthened — shares in french banks are up —

and the european stock markets are reaching their highest levels for a year. the positive sentiment follows the results of the first round of the french presidential election. investors seem relieved — euphoric even — that the centrist emmanuel macron topped the poll — and will go through to the next round against the far—right candidate marine le pen. mr macron is seen as a supporter of the european union and has promised business—friendly reforms if he gets the keys to the elysee palace after may the 7th. let's talk about this in more detail. joining me is ana cuddeford, investment director at m&g. good to see you. why is there so much so that the mac euphoria about this result of the first round?” think you're very thought of said they are relieved that there was a sort of more benign outcome to this pa rt sort of more benign outcome to this part of the election. but also let's not forget that we have been seeing

improving fundamentals across a lot of the european economy and people are sort of holding back to just make sure that we did not get a sort of more difficult outcome for the markets and it is that sigh of relief, beginning to put money back in the market. europe is slightly cheaper than some of the us industries and that is what i think we thought of seeing. what is it about emmanuel macron‘s policies that seemed to woo investors so much? they are seen more as pro—market, essentially we do know that one of the biggest overhangs amongst global financial markets would have been the fate of the eurozone and given the fact that he has some background within business but also the fact that he is pro—europe is a big relief. but also the fact that he is pro-europe is a big relief. it is interesting to see the effect not just on stocks and shares but also on the bond markets and currencies as well. they are just really

expressions of the risk aversion that we had sort of been seeing, leading into the election. yes, you are absolutely right, the bond markets have reacted in the way that the peripheral european bonds have moved quite nicely this morning. that really means that we are seeing are more pro—risk attitude to the market so with equities sort of rising more and bonds essentially taking back, the yield is coming down. given that the sharp moves that we have seen in trading today across europe, moves, more than 4% up, do you think that they have now priced in their expectations for the result of the second round? are we likely disease sharp moves after the next round ? —— likely disease sharp moves after the next round? —— are we likely to see. i think it is impossible to forecast. we expect a little bit more of a bumpy ride in the coming months because we have a number of u na nswered months because we have a number of unanswered questions. i would like

to remind people is to really look at the facts underlying result of the economy and the data because quite often it is very difficult to predict how these markets will react. we would not be surprised at seeing a little bit more volatility, however, we probably use that as an opportunity to look at some interesting assets. many thanks for that analysis. thank you. let's round up some other business stories for you. british companies have unveiled plans to test driverless cars on city roads and motorways in the uk, for the first time. the driven consortium, backed by government funds and headed up by ai firm 0xbotica, intends to put vehicles through their paces between london and oxford, with six vehicles deployed by 2019. five—a—side football business goals soccer centres has confirmed it is in takeover talks with rival powerleague. a tie—up was one of a number of "strategic opportunities" being assessed by the board, goals said. at the start of the year the firm said it had "turned the corner" following a strong second half.

german business confidence hit its highest level for almost six years in april. the closely watched business confidence index rose to 112.9 points, its highest level since july 2011 and better than analysts had forecast. let's ta ke let's take a look at the markets. the first round result of the french presidential election is having a big, positive effect on the european markets. bank shares in particular got a boost from the ex—banker mr macron doing well in the poll. it's also strengthened the euro, reflecting the fact he is pro—european union. they see that as providing a bit of certainty. it also means investors are willing to make riskier investments in stocks and shares. a couple of uk shares to flag for you. centrica, the british gas owner, and sse among the big fallers on the ftse100 in london after talk of that energy price cap. that is it for the business for now.

thank you. headlines coming up here on the bbc news channel at well. let's catch up with the weather. we have lost our sunshine here in central london. that is not really the major story. the next three days orso, the major story. the next three days or so, forget about spring, it will still wintry. there will be frost around at night as well. down in the isle of wight, or this chat about wintry fair, you had your rain earlier on across the north of england, that has pulled away this am. there is some decent fair even in the eastern side of scotland but it may not last because this is what is going on across aberdeenshire and indeed across sutherland and up towards the northern isles. really wintry fair. we have not seen the likes of this very good little while. that is the weather front, the relatively mild conditions in

the relatively mild conditions in the south and something a good deal brighter this am but look at how wintry that looks. let's just take a look proceedings, luke says we are going to the speckling of rain. this is not going to sort out these very dry conditions that we have had of late across the central and southern parts of the british isles. i suppose it is better than nothing. looking further north, these guys turned brighter behind the weather front, already doing that because parts of northern ireland, but picking up showers already. we really get into that wintry mass of whether they're across the northern areas. from that point onwards, we will push that weather front of a further southwards, taking away the rain, the last of the mild air. as the temperatures dip away overnight, we really get into that cold air. many more of the showers will be wintry and they will lie. many northern and eastern parts of scotland, maybe the hills of

northern ireland and the higher ground over the east of england will begin to see something of a covering of snow as you start your new day on tuesday which will be a raw affair. especially if you've got fully exposed here to the wind, coming in from the north, despite the brightness in the south, i am afraid what you pick up on the shower or tee, that will put a dent in the temperatures. i'm about to show you temperatures. i'm about to show you temperatures pushing towards double figures in the south, if you get the showers, you will leave five or six celsius is no problem at all. i suspect on wednesday we will have that winds for the most part coming out of the north, it will take the time into the second—half of the week until we see a recovery in most averages. a lot going on, some weather warnings in the mix as well. detail of course, thomas will be with you over the next few hours. take care. this is bbc news — and these are the top stories developing at midday... political newcomer emmanuel macron will face far—right leader marine le pen in the run—off for the french presidency after voters reject the mainstream parties.

translation: i want to become the president of all the people of france, the president of the patriots, in the face of the threat from the nationalists. translation: the time has come to get rid of all of the arrogant people who want to dictate to the people what they should do. i am the candidate for the people. lam in i am in paris with reaction and analysis of this rejection of france's two main political parties. i'mjoanna gosling...in other news: parties hit the campaign trail here — jeremy corbyn attempts to claw back support for labour in scotland and paul nuttall will spell out ukip's key pledges shortly in london. a man has been arrested over the death of an ex—royal navy officer who was hit as his car was stolen from outside

his home in manchester. four tram drivers admit to falling asleep on a line in croydon, where seven people died after derailment last year. and the london marathon hero who helped his exhausted fellow runner down the final straight says he had to make sure he finished the race. i was shouting in his ear, saying, come on, come on, we can finish, stay with me. hello and welcome to paris. this was

above all is over change. the candidates of both of france's main candidates of both of france's main candidates were swept aside for two outside candidates. 0ne candidates were swept aside for two outside candidates. one is a former banker, a theory nine—year—old running his first—ever election campaign, and a far right leader who wa nts to campaign, and a far right leader who wants to overturn france's relationship with europe. predictions suggest that emmanuel macron could count on this. in a victory speech to supporters last night, a foreign language favored by his rival, he described the programme as the patriotic choice for france. translation: i want to become the president of the whole people of france, the president of the patriots in the face of the threat represented by nationalists. a president able to protect, to transform and to build up. a president who is able to allow those who are willing to create, innovate, start work, to do it faster, more easily.

i want to be a president who is going to support and help the more fragile among us, those who have been upset by life, and do that through health, school, work, solidarity. his rival from the front national made an appeal to all attributes and said it was time to liberate the french people. translation: the time has come to free the french population, and the whole french population without forgetting our friends overseas that trusted me, and i am very proud of the confidence they manifested towards me. the time has come to get rid of all the arrogant people who want to dictate to the population what they should do. i am the candidate for the people. and it is an appeal to all the sincere patriots, wherever they come from, whatever their origin, whatever they voted for in the first round, i invite them all tojoin us and to abandon old—fashioned quarrels and to concentrate on what is the superior interest of our country.

that is really essential. with me is a journalist that specialises in french and arab affairs. and also the former president of france's main business rib, like cbi in the uk. i wonder what your thoughts are, you have actually written a critical book about marine le pen. what are you thinking today? it is a huge relief today, we were quite afraid that, at the final round in the runoff, we could have two extremists candidates, one from the far right and the other from the far left thomas and now we have only one extremist candidate, marine le pen, from the far right, and a candidate... you described emmanuel macron is a former banker, maybe we can say that, it is true, but the

most important thing is a guide from the centre. he is a real centrist and most of all he is a real european will stop he is convinced that the future of france and not only of france, but big ambition for the european union. we know that he is from the centre, we know also that he has no elected office in his life before. do you not worry that he is not going to be powerful enough, strong enough, determined enough, strong enough, determined enough to put through the reforms do the business, the employment world, that your members may have been wanting? we start with francois hollande when we saw him try to introduce reforms. element of course it isa introduce reforms. element of course it is a concern, it is not easy in france to convince the city of reform and structural reforms, but i would like to say that first, today is like a second election in france. it isa is like a second election in france. it is a second campaign. so he

hasn't to, he has to not only commence the businesspeople who are quite happy this morning because... the markets! yaya exactly, even if some business interpreters are in favour of francois hollande, eve ryo ne favour of francois hollande, everyone knows that jean—luc melenchon is business firmly. we have to focus on the second round. he has to build his victory. it is not done yet. marine le pen can gather different kinds of votes, protesters, different kinds of protesters, different kinds of protesters but protesters, so the first thing is to commence not only the businesspeople but also the trade unions that it will be able to understand everyone.” trade unions that it will be able to understand everyone. i wonder what's

marine le pen, for the second time since 2002 when her father came third, what that does to the tensions that exist in french society? first of all, it has to be said that it is first and foremost a remarkable victory for emmanuel macron, he was barely heard of before this election and who is now on the verge of becoming the president of france. i know a lot of people in britain would like to betray this as a marine le pen victory, but it is anything but. she has been able to rally her called, her traditional supporters, but not more than that. she will face a remarkable task in the second round to pick up voters yawned her natural core base of traditionally between 15-25% huh core base of traditionally between 15—25% huh and let's be absolutely frank. it is to be that she will lose in the final round. she was expected to wind in the first round, but you lost. you think this will inflame the tensions that will

already exist? i think this has been unusual in many ways. it brings the crisis of the heart of the political establishment and at the very heart of democracy, a polarized people, different segments of society felt left out. others found they were not represented in the candidates that participated in the election and of course this is a nation that also, it has been blighted by different terrorist attacks as well. so lots of issues that stick, not least of all the economy, security and this will play out in the second round. we must leave it there. a commentator and journalist, a former head of the employers association, thank you very much to both of you for coming by and as we have been hearing, 11 candidates have now become a two. we have nearly two weeks of campaigning starting all over again. we have seen marine le pen out already on the campaign trail in the last couple of hours and then on the 7th of may, france

votes again to choose their president. iq in london. police investigating the death of a man — who was hit as his car was stolen from outside his home in manchester — have arrested a 21—year—old man on suspicion of murder. mike samwell — who was 35 — died after confronting two men at his home in the chorlton area of the city in the early hours of yesterday morning. our correspondent danny savage is at the scene. this happened at about three o'clock yesterday morning, where mike samwell obviously heard some sort of disturbance, noise downstairs in his property, he went downstairs to investigate. there seems to been some altercation between whoever he found out there and himself, they were looking to steal his car. it actually happened, from my understanding, in a parking area behind this row of terraced houses behind me. mrs samwell‘s house was in the middle of that terrace. the car was parked in an area behind it, it was there that he was run over and fatally injured

in the early hours of yesterday morning. the car sped off, a 66 plate audi s3, an expensive car, a high—powered car, taken from the scene, was found about three miles away. the police investigation began immediately into this. he died of his injuries a short while afterwards, and the language that the police used yesterday is very interesting. they described it as a senseless murder, but they were pointing at the criminal fraternity around here, it is more than criminal, it crossed the line. there was an appeal for local criminals to search their consciences if they had any information. that was the tone of the police appeal yesterday. early this morning, greater manchester police revealed they had arrested a 21—year—old man. he is now being held in custody, he will be questioned at a later date. people have been coming to lay flowers here in memory of mr samwell, he was a former royal navy member,

he was 35 years old. he served on nuclear power submarines, he had a service history and that he went to work for another company once he left the royal navy a few years ago. he was a well—liked man, according to neighbours, many people who knew him and recognised him. the investigation continues, but as you can see behind me here in west manchester at the moment, the street remains sealed off, the investigations here continue. the defence secretary, sir michael fallon, has said that theresa may would not rule out a pre—emptive nuclear strike. he was speaking afterjeremy corbyn said in a bbc interview yesterday, that he would never be the first to use nuclear weapons, and that he would order a review of defence policy if he became prime minister. let's get more from our assistant political editor norman smith in westminster. the first full week of campaigning, what is on the agenda today? where is the focus? a lot of focus will be onjeremy corbyn pots speech to the scottish tuc, where he will try to move attention back to some of the

domestic. a lot of it will be familiar, talking about guaranteeing a labour government would continue with a lock on pensions, pledges to raise a living wage to £10 an hour, but some measures designed to bolster trade unions as well, suggesting for example that he would repeal certain conservative union laws, also suggesting that all companies that secure public contracts should have to recognise trade unions and suggesting that there should be an investigation into the actions of scottish police during the miners strikes some 30 or so years ago. so a series of measures there are two underlying labour's ties with the trade unions. mr corbyn will tell the scottish tuc that we are family, that he will not apologise for his close ties with the union movement. what i think is interesting about it is the way mr

corbyn is sort of put centrestage, where often you find with labour leaders based seem to play down there union ties, which tells us mr corbyn wants this to be his election campaign. he will fight it as the corbyn campaign, it will be authenticjeremy corbyn, which in turn probably explains his remarks yesterday when he refused to come out and back labour's policy on nuclear weapons, the policy being in favour of renewing their nuclear deterrent, instead of opening up the possibility that a labour government could sanction moves to get rid of our nuclear deterrent as part of an overall defence review. what about the tory party today? where is the focus? the striking thing is, there is no focus. extraordinary and away. there are in the first full week of the election campaign and a strategy of theresa may seems to be to close up of theresa may seems to be to close up shop. we had michael fallon, the defence secretary al and about on the early morning breakfast programmes, but apart from that, you

will hear pretty much nothing, certainly i think we will hear nothing, see no sight or sound of theresa may, no policy announcements or initiatives. it won all the focused and questions from journalists to still be onjeremy corbyn and his her marks about nuclear defence and also about air strikes and a rack. they want attention to be on issues around his leadership and they believe the best way to do that is to stay say nothing and avoid cameras at all costs. —— air strikes and a iraq. emmanuel macron will face marine le pen in the runoff for the french presidency after the first round of voting. jeremy corbyn promises to repeal what he called the shares trade —— vicious trade union legislation brought in by the conservatives as he takes his campaign to scotland. and a man has been arrested

on suspicion of the murder of a former royal navy officer who was hit as his car was stolen from outside his home in manchester. let's catch up with all the sport. newcastle united can be promoted back to the premier league if they beat preston this evening. brighton have already secured their place in the top flight next season, while newcastle have experienced a dip in form taking just a single point from their last three games. the other teams, they have to do something, we have to do ourjob. the only thing we can control is our tea m the only thing we can control is our team and we have to be sure that these three games, we are concentrating to do ourjob properly, to wind our games. if the others go in our favour, properly, to wind our games. if the others go in ourfavour, my properly, to wind our games. if the others go in our favour, my target was always to try and though up. the main thing is we finish ourjob. manchester united striker zlatan ibrahimovic says "giving up is not an option" — he's out for several months after suffering a serious knee injury against anderlecht in the europa league last week.

there had been speculation that the 35—year—old could retire given the nature of the injury. but he's said on social media this morning that he "will come back even stronger", claiming injuries won't decide his future in the game. barcelona manager luis enrique has described lionel messi as the "best player in history" after he scored his 500th goal for the club as they beat real madrid 3—2 to take them to the top of la liga. messi struck twice in a dramatic el classico, real had sergio ramos sent off. it was 2—2 going into the final ten seconds of injury time when lionel messi scored a dramatic winner. barca are now top of the table on goal difference. andy murray will be playing in this week's barcelona open as part of his build up to the french open and to maintain his status as world number one. murray was surprisingly knocked out of the monte carlo masters last week in his first tournament back since recovering it was hard to maintain your ranking

in the top of the game. you have some of the best players of all time are playing just now and are playing great tennis this year and a lot of the young ones are starting to play better and better as well. it is obvious to going to be tough, but i am happy to be fit and healthy again and hopefully i can start playing some good tennis. well, whilst murray has a bye to the second round, kyle edmund has booked his place in that second round after a straight sets win over france's jeremy chardy. he'll play the up and coming austrian dominic thiem next. that's all sport for now. i'll have more in the next hour. thank you very much. four drivers have admitted falling asleep while operating trams in croydon, where seven people were killed after a tram derailed in november 2016. drivers have told the bbc a safety device, known as "a dead man's handle", failed to activate

and stop their trams. our correspondent ed thomas reports. a speeding tram. no emergency braking. the sandylands disaster — here, seven people were killed, over 50 injured. have you fallen asleep? yeah. it's happened to me once in ten years. how many drivers do you think have fallen asleep in the cabin? i would have to say most drivers have at some point in their careers. he's admitting what many would consider gross misconduct because of this. it is called the traction brake controller or tbc — the driving lever that powers the tram. inside, the safety device known as the dead man's handle. this driver says when he fell asleep it didn't work. was there an alarm? no. was there any emergency braking? no, none whatsoever. my hand remained on the tbc. that was enough to keep the dead man's handle from being activated. why aren't drivers telling

the operators what's going wrong? if we were to come forward and say, "excuse me, i fell asleep", i think we'd just been dismissed. four drivers have told the bbc they'd fallen asleep in the cab. and they asked us to watch this footage again — a tram driver who appears to be asleep. there's no alarm, no emergency brakes. he's in and out of sleep, isn't he? he's coming to and starting to doze, and coming to and starting to doze. why was there no alarm? why was there no braking? well, because... if he were to completely pass out, if he were to completely lose consciousness, then he would relax his grip. but it's ok just to slightly doze in and out, like we saw in the video footage? no, of course it's not all right. the company who operates the transfer tfl, tram operations limited, says driver fatigue

is monitored and, on the driver's safety device, says it is satisfied the controls are fully functional. this former driver didn't want to be identified. he said that this com pletely identified. he said that this completely failed in may 2013. identified. he said that this completely failed in may 20 13. they said they were aware of it but it was completely safe to carry on. i had to raise my voice over at the system and say, if i had a heart attack or was unconscious, this tram would go through the junction at 50 miles an hour. only when i said that did they say, take it out of service straightaway. in a statement, they said... we can also reveal at least three

trams had been recorded speeding since the sandy lancet derailment. —— since the sandylands derailment. one was travelling at 65 kilometres per hour in a 40 zone. the operator told us it had increased speed checks since the sandylands crash. it's changed my life. he did everything for us. they are still waiting for answers, the families of those who died. my daughters are just devastated. what is the one question you want answering? why... why? investigators are trying to answer that question — to piece together a disaster that changed so many lives. ed thomas, bbc news, croydon. ukip is to propose a ban on the full veils worn by some muslim women as part of its general election manifesto. they have said that they will

campaign against newly public funded we can cross to central london where our political correspondent alex forsyth has been listening to paul nuttall make a speech. ukip have announced a whole range of policies today which they say form pa rt policies today which they say form part ofan policies today which they say form part of an integration agenda. the party says that successive governments have failed to properly integrate different communities in the uk and they want to make this a real focus of their election campaign, so they outlined a whole series of policies which will now be considered for inclusion in the ukip ma nifesto. considered for inclusion in the ukip manifesto. i will run you through some. the first is a moratorium on new islamic state schools opening until, you can't say i'm the full muslim community is better integrated. in schools where children are exposed to islamist ideology should be shut down and

subject to investigation. failure to report female genital mutilation should become a crime and the crown prosecution service should consider prosecuting parents of fgm victims. girls at risk of this should be subject to annual checks within a school. they also said the face veil, any base covering at all should be banned in public places. sharia law should be banned and there would be a legal permission to look at disbanding sharia courts and all official documents should be written in english. the leaders said this was not about sowing seeds of division or hatred, this was about improving integration, but the party has already been subject to criticism, with the green party saying this integration agenda is actually islamophobia. the deputy leader defended the policies and said they were needed. let's hear what he said a little while ago.” don't think there can be any better way of segregating for example then

wearing the face feel. i think that isa wearing the face feel. i think that is a literal barrier to integration. i think that is something which, there was great public support for getting rid of. i think the point really is we have reached the stage in this country where we have gone down one bird, it public policy of multiculturalism, which was about separation and not integration. it is notjust separation and not integration. it is not just ukip, separation and not integration. it is notjust ukip, whether it is trevor phillips or angela merkel or david cameron, people have said that multiculturalism is a failure, a bad idea, but they have done nothing about it. we are attempting to address it. this is something which is increasing concern to a majority of people in this country. ukip have a course in the past been accused of being a one policy party because for so long their focus was getting the uk out of the european union. with the eu referendum, that vote for brexit, the party now says it wants to broaden its policy agenda. it is not ditching its position on brexit, it wants to come in its words, hold

the government's feed to the fire on that, but this attempt to reject to other voters and show that ukip still have something to offer beyond that brexit oh. how many candidates is ukip likely to field in the election? well, talking to a few people here today, a few prominent figures within the parties, such as suzanne evans and patrick o'flynn, they say they will be standing, what we have no specific details as of yet and the party leader, paul nuttall hmmm i has refused to confirm or deny whether he is standing at all. we are expected to find out at the end of the week, with a list input port of where ukip will field candidates, but we are hearing from some constituencies that ukip will not put up candidates against pro—brexit tory mps. i spoke to the deputy leader about that today and he said that if is on a constituency by constituency bases. there was no mandate for constituencies to do this, it is up to them if they want to. in the last election, ukip feels that their highest level of candidates, but it

cost the party, it is an expensive business. we will have to see at the end of the week how far ukip will be a will to reach this time around. let's go to our reporter andrew sinclair who is near clacton. is he there already? yes, he arrived around ten minutes ago on his way in he said he was looking forward to meeting local party members. he is that this hoteljust outside of cla cton. that this hoteljust outside of clacton. he is meeting local party members, we think we would see him give them lunch, and he will explain why he wants to stand as a ukip candidate. we respect them to go into cla cto n candidate. we respect them to go into clacton itself to walk around and meet some real voters. but as he said, he doesn't know this area at all. he told the bbc sunday politics

programme yesterday he has only been to cla cto n programme yesterday he has only been to clacton once before, but he does wa nt to to clacton once before, but he does want to stand here and he said he thought ukip wouldn't put anyone up against him as a potential candidate. why does he want to come here? this all goes back to a argument he had a few months ago with the then ukip mp for clacton, douglas carswell. he believed he was a breath ukip, he said whenever another election was held, he said he would use his personal money to stand against douglas carswell. since then, douglas carswell has left ukip, become an independent, so perhaps sagna was right in that expect, and other general election has been called. so this meeting todayis has been called. so this meeting today is all about working out what the lie of the land will be. ukip locally wa nt the lie of the land will be. ukip locally want to hold their hustings on wednesday night to choose their candidate for the general election, so aaron banks is trying to find out what they think of him and they are trying to think what he thinks about them. we will check with you a little bit later. thank you very much. let's catch up with the

weather. as promised, winter has arrived in northern parts of scotland. take a look at this picture from aberdeenshire earlier on. stormy seas, snow falling, continue to get wintry weather through the course of today through the upland areas especially. to the south, it looks like it will stay fairly cloudy, now feeling the cold as of yet. the north part of the country, preaching southern areas tonight. today, lots of clear skies across the bulk of the uk, but hit and of clear skies across the bulk of the uk, but hitand miss of clear skies across the bulk of the uk, but hit and miss showers, sleet and snow, towns and cities will dropped down to around 1—3dc. tomorrow starts on a sunny know for many of us. but the sunshine around three england and wales. england and northern england, some hell storms around, thunder and lightning as well, but sunshine as well. if you

do get caught in some of the hailstorms, it may feel like it is freezing, a really chilly day on the way tomorrow. this is bbc newsroom live. the headlines at 12.30: political newcomer emmanuel macron faces far—right leader marine le pen in the run—off for the french presidency. it is the first time in 60 years that the second round doesn't include a candidate from the two mainstream parties. translation: i want to become the president of all the people of france, the president of the patriots. translation: the time has come to get rid of all the arrogant people who wanted to dictate to the population what they should do. i am the candidate for the people. parties hit the campaign trail across the uk — jeremy corbyn attempts to win back support for labour in scotland and paul nuttall spells out ukip's key pledges. a man has been arrested over

the death of an ex—royal navy officer who was hit as his car was stolen from outside his home in manchester. a 21—year—old is being held on suspicion of murder and is due to be questioned. four tram drivers admit to falling asleep on a line in croydon, where seven people died after derailment last year. drivers say a safety device, known as "a dead man's handle", failed to activate and stop their trams. labour leaderjeremy corbyn is due to make a speech in scotland shortly where he'll tell trade union members that he'll fight to protect their right to take industrial action. he'll promise to repeal trade union legislation passed by the conservatives in 2015, if he wins the election. we can go to war correspondent who

joins us from aviemore. what are you expecting from jeremy corbyn? years under pressure having speaking about labour's defence policy yesterday and tried in particular. we do not know if he's going to address that particular issue. we expecting him to speak fairly soon, he is certainly in the building now. he did not make an entrance, he came in through a back door, possibly because he was late. yet mr flight from london. we expect him to talk about the living wage, that there will be at labour are elected, a £10 living wage across the uk. also to talk about brexit, to say that the sort of brexit that labour wants to see is one that will protect the rights of working people. what struck me about what we do know about mr corbyn's speech this afternoon is that there doesn't seem to bea afternoon is that there doesn't seem to be a particularfocus afternoon is that there doesn't seem to be a particular focus scotland. there is nothing that differentiates what he's saying from what we have

heard earlier. jeremy corbyn now speaking at the conference. thank you for the introduction and thank you the delaying a lunch in order that i can speak to you today. iam order that i can speak to you today. i am really grateful to you for that. to be here and aviemore is something very special to me because the best tuc has a wonderful tradition of fighting for the working people of scotland and influencing public debate on bihar of working people. it has been at the forefront of social progress in scotland. it is the collectivism of the train you june movement, through working people fighting alongside each other. it has always been and a lwa ys each other. it has always been and always will be the driver of great progressive change in scotland and in the rest of the uk and across the world. no more so is the case of the inspiring young activist involved in the better than zero campaign. their

vibrant and engage in action is a shining example of modern train units, carrying on the historic site ina units, carrying on the historic site in a system still rate against working people. that fight is one we have all collectively committed to. and continue to do so because, friends, it works and we will not let anyone tell you otherwise. it is trade unions that have driven up wages and living standards. health and safety in the workplace and challenge prejudice and discrimination as you were just doing in the motion that he just carried. it is unions that have worked with ourselves in the labour party to transform our society, to offer the opportunities to our people that so many of our forefathers and especially of all mothers unfortunately did not enjoy. they are heroes. it was our predecessors who suffered exploitation in the workplace and

wider society. it was they who were not prepared to stand idly by, who instead chose to fight back and win many of the games that we enjoy today. —— many of the games. our health service, asked security net, our education system and so much more were won on the shoulders of the strength in the labour and trade union movement. let none of us ever forget from whence we came, the better we know we two where we are going to. applause friends, that is why i could not be either better or more appropriate place to start general election campaign in scotland. we are standing for the many, not the few. it is through our collective power ina it is through our collective power in a trade union that we ensure the many is banding together have the power to stand up to the rich and

the powerful few. the power to stand up to the rich and the powerfulfew. the labour party will always cherish these days and protect our relationship with the trade union movement and the working people that all of you in this whole represent. you are our dna, you are family and we will never, ever apologise for the clearances of our relationship with you. —— for the closeness of our relationship with you. applause friends, like kier hardie, i am proud to be a trade unionist. i carry my card with me wherever i go. i have been an trade unions all of my life and i will die a trade unionist because that is what i believe in. that is why one of the very first things we will do when forming our labour government will be to repeal the tory trade union act. applause giving working people the rights to

collectively organise and make their lives better, safer and more content. with the timing of election is unexpected, the choice is very, very clear and the stakes are very, very high. but let no one be in any doubt, we are in this election to win itand doubt, we are in this election to win it and we will fight for every seatin win it and we will fight for every seat in every corner of these islands. i said the other day that the dividing lines in this election could not be clearer from the outset. it is the conservative party, the party of privilege and the richest versus the labour party, the richest versus the labour party, the party that is standing up for working people to improve the lives

of all, that is the real choice. only us for the tories can form a government. —— only asked or. alongside their previous coalition partners, the lib dems, the tories unleashed an unprecedented attack on the working people in this country. the choice facing this country of this election is clear. it is the people versus the powerful. labour will challenge the rigged system thatis will challenge the rigged system that is holding our country back. in the selection, labour will offer hope to the nurse, the teacher, the small trader, the carrier, the builder, the office worker, the bus driver, but factory worker, the farm work treat, the factory worker in any situation. we will provide the change and the transformative policy

programme that puts power and opportunity and people's cans. we will fight this election is offering a positive vision for our country, we will present to the british people and economic and political alternatives and the promise that we'll make our work for the many, not the few. we will make jokes better and more secure with a real living wage. —— we will make jobs better. we will end the public sector pay cap that this respect are very committed public servants every day of the week. we will and the need for the banks in britain. —— and the need for food banks. need for the banks in britain. —— and the need forfood banks. we need for the banks in britain. —— and the need for food banks. we will

upgrade our economy, through investment in our infrastructure, helping small businesses, delivering high skilljobs helping small businesses, delivering high skill jobs and helping small businesses, delivering high skilljobs and ending poverty pgy- high skilljobs and ending poverty pay. we will never put tax giveaways to the corporations and the wealthiest above are vital public services like social care and the national health service. and those engines of opportunity, schools in our colleges, we will give them the funding they need. the scottish people facing a crucial choice in this election. the tories are trying to use brexit to turn britain into a low—wage tax haven, run in the interests of the powerful. labour will negotiate a brexit will build on the games one all workers in the european union, we will putjobs, living standards and human rights first. friends, this is a general

election, it is not a referendum. only labour can form a government and offeran only labour can form a government and offer an alternative that will transform the lives of people in scotland. the truth is, that the tories and the snp are obsessed with their power struggles against brussels and westminster when the energy should be used to change and transform our economy, to ensure that no one and no community is left behind. the tories, well, they are tories. they will always seek to undermine, dilate or simply eliminate all the gains that we want. that is who they are and that is what they do. they actually powerful and the powerful back them. that is what we are up against, that is what our predecessors were up

against. in never stop them and it will not stop us! much of the media and theirfriends will not stop us! much of the media and their friends in the establishment of saying this election is a foregone conclusion. they think are rules and politics which if you do not follow them, you do not win. you start by doffing your cap to the powerful people, excepting that parameters so nothing can really change. comrades, it is when you start excepting the para meters when you start excepting the parameters laid down by others that you cannot really win. you have to challenge. our movement knows it. it is only by us standing together as the people for the many, not the powerful few, that we really win. only labour has the policies that will challenge these powerful interests. and transform the lives

of working people. let us remember that the only real progressive alliance is the labour and trained union movement working together as it has always been and so far as i'm concerned, always will be. that's why labour is campaigning to win in every seat across the whole country. the deal we will do with the electorate is to be the government for the many, not the few. the truth is, that politics and policies of labour are needed now more than ever as ocon she becomes more unfair, more unjust and more unequal. —— needed more than ever as our country. more children than ever are living in poverty. health equality stubbornly exist. —— health

inequality. you will travel between areas on a bus where there is a life expectancy ten or 12 years longer than the poorest areas of the inner cities. educational attainment of differing and worsening and the numbers of people working but still considered to be living in poverty are at the worst point devolution. that is surely where the focus of all politicians should be. so, we would do —— we will redistribute wealth in our society, a living wage of at least £10 an hour. transforming the lives of half a million people in scotland, earning less tha n million people in scotland, earning less than the living wage, wiping out in the concept of working poor. we will protect the pensioners incomes by legislating to keep the

triple lock on state pensions, detecting over a million scottish pensioners. —— protecting. guaranteeing them a basic income necessary to live a dignified life in retirement. only labour will protect pensioners. we will make sure that public spending will be used to force a change for good and work environments, conditions, equal opportunities and fair play, using the power of public procurement in local government and central government to force better working conditions in all those companies that are benefiting from public service contracts. i think it is a power we should ease. bat we should use. we will ensure that note company with a public contract if they avoid or evade taxes. do not pay their local suppliers on time or

refused to recognise trade unions. this will benefit scottish workers and small businesses across the country contracted to the government tojune country contracted to the government to june of millions country contracted to the government tojune of millions of pounds. we will create a scottish national bank under scottish control and backed by the national investment bank with £20 billion of lending power to deliver the funds to local projects and small businesses, creating work and small businesses, creating work and stimulating the economy. we will aggressively take on the tax avoidance and evaders. we will start with making corporations published their entirety of their tax returns. we will ban on hours contracts,

giving new productions. —— zero hour contracts. giving new productions to 60,000 workers, guaranteed with no hours at the moment. how can people possibly plan their lives, pay their rent, if they have no security of income? is it right that so many people wake up in the morning, the first thing they do is reach for that phone to check if any techs have come on, not the nice text we received from friends or family or people wishing us well and so on, but to find out if they have got any work that day or not? it is not a right orfair way work that day or not? it is not a right or fair way of treating people. we will end zero hour contracts once and for all. and when

injustices are historic and have some while ago, it does not diminish the blt of that injustice or the hurt that was suffered. we will suffer inquiries into blacklisting. and we will urge the scottish government to set up an inquiry into the actions of the police during the miners strike in scotland. we will give all workers equal rights from day one to stop some workers being exploited and others being undercut. you know how that system works as well as i do. and we will introduce a right to own, giving workers first refusal when their company faces a

change of ownership or closure. i think those are important rights so the contribution and the skills and commitment of workers to their companies will be recognised when there is a crisis in that company. too often it is the skills that are not recognised and the wisdom that is lost as the doors are closed once and for all. we want an opportunity for workers to take over those companies of the point of first refusal. we will have on the health and safety executive that has been s ha m efu lly and safety executive that has been shamefully cut back under this government, compromising those great games that our movement has historically fought for and we gained the health and safety act at work. we will act with trade unionism is and agility to reduce bargaining across the whole of the country. and we will also introduce

four new public holidays, giving people the time to lead better and more fulfilling lives, actually helping productive at the abbey same time and we will ask for the support of the government of wales, scotland and northern ireland say the same four holidays can be enjoyed across the whole of the united kingdom. our aim isa the whole of the united kingdom. our aim is a country where everyone who can have the dignity of work and where everyone has a guarantee of dignity at work. these are the type of transformative policies that can change people's lives for the better. just like it has always been, only labour will deliver full working people, small businesses and on most vulnerable people. none of the rest would even think of these type of policies, let alone achieve them. it is only labour that will

focus on the kind of country we need after brexit. in the coming weeks, we are going to lay out more about policies that are designed to unlock opportunities for every single person in this country. we will focus on giving people real control over their own lives and make sure that everybody reads a just reward for the work they do. we will no longer allow those at the top to leech off those who bus their guts on zero hour contracts and forced to make sacrifices to pay their mortgage or their rent. instead of the country's wealth being hidden in tax havens, we will bid in the hands of the people of britain because they are the ones who owned it in first place. —— we will put it in the hands of the people of britain. in this election, labour will lead

the movement to make that change. we will build a new economy where the of the 21st—century and build a country for the many, not pcs. thank you very much indeed for having here today. —— build a country for the many, not the view. jerry mead corbyn speaking in aviemore, laying out labour's priorities. we were speaking to our correspondent prior to him speaking, there is no particular offers of scotla nd there is no particular offers of scotland and what he said. he is there in scotland as he tries to bolster support for labour in scotland. he was talking about labour party policies, talking about the unions, he was under some pressure having been on the andrew marr show yesterday and talking

about trident, his personal view deviating from official labour party policy. we will have more reaction and analysis of what you're missing a bit later. —— what he was saying a little bit later. st davids in pembrokeshire is britain's smallest city but it is bidding to become the uk city of culture. that honour is currently held by hull. towns and cities across the country will soon take part in the contest to win the title in 2021, as nick higham reports. george formby, famous for his ukelele playing and his saucy songs, was born here in 1904. britain's first ikea opened here in 1987. in 1968, the place was made a new town and the town hall has some spectacular golden gates. but culture...in warrington? has it always been at the forefront of what we've been doing, culture? no, it hasn't.

now they want to change all that. as we transition from a new town to a new city, that city has to have a compelling cultural offer, because we know what cities that don't have that end up like. they are abandoned of an evening in the centre. they don't have the vibrancy. they aren't the magnets of talent and for young people that they ought to be. warrington's economically successful and unemployment‘s low but you wouldn't know it, looking at the town centre. this is what they call warrington's cultural quarter. there's a museum, a library. they say it's the oldest public library in england. there is a small concert hall. there's the pyramid arts centre. but it's quiet. the truth is, people in warrington who want theatre or major art galleries go to liverpool or manchester. the concert venue's called parr hall. outside, i meta musician and promoter who says warrington's live music scene has enjoyed a modest revival lately but could do much better if the town were city of culture. any kind of artists, really, who are from warrington, you don't

get the opportunities in warrington. you have to go abroad to find those. you have to go into manchester or liverpool. so there might not be loads and loads of stuff going on in warrington but that doesn't mean that people from warrington don't have the talents and skills. # then she said that together we could take on the world #. last year, the band viola beach were on the cusp of success when they and their manager were killed in a road accident in sweden. they came from warrington, proof that culture can flourish here alongside the giant soap works and the unexpectedly tranquil canals. ina in a moment, we will have the news at one with sophie. that, here is the weather.

winter has reached northern parts of scotland. it is pretty stormy in aberdeenshire. white out conditions. snow settling instrument earlier on. most of us will not be getting things like this but it is going to be cold over the next two or three days. there will be some hailstorms around, thunder and lightning and even bit of snow settling across one or two other parts of the uk. it is not quite so cold in the south just yet, it will take time before that cold arctic air which is southern areas as well. this is the cold front, anywhere to the north of that line, that is where the cold air is. here's scotland again this afternoon. this is what it looks like in the highlands, some snow here now. not all of it is so, some rain around as well, hale also. he winds are pretty strong. then around wales, the midlands and the south, pretty overcast, some spots of rain. the weather front is sitting here

going to feel that little bit less cold as we head into when state is still a risk of some wintry showers, hale and sunday maybe across the central and eastern areas. by the time we get to thursday, and friday, we start to see that neither atla ntic we start to see that neither atlantic air of returning to the uk. —— that milder at atlantic air returning to the uk. stay with us for the news from two and later tonight at 10:40pm, join the papers for a look at my‘s headlines. the race for the french presidency — after the country's biggest political upset in six decades. independent centrist emmanuel macron faces the front national‘s marine le pen in a fortnight after beating both mainstream parties yesterday with polls predicting france will have its youngest pro—european president in a fortnight.
