plans to raise tax —— but stopped short of promising not to raise income tax, national insurance or vat if she wins the general election. speaking to the bbc‘s andrew marr, she also said pensions would continue to rise but wouldn't commit to retaining the triple lock. mrs may also re—stated her earlier assertion that no deal is better than a bad deal in brexit talks with the european union. meanwhile labour is campaigning on workplace conditions today — jeremy corbyn‘s party says they'll end zero hours contracts and raise the minimum wage. the liberal democrat leader tim farron says his party wouldn't enter another coalition with either the conservatives or labour. he told andrew marr that mrs may had called the election out of cold political calculation — and said he wants voters to make him the real leader of the opposition. 0ur political correspondent leila nathoo is here. let's start with theresa may on the subject of tax. she has so far

refused to commit to keeping the previous tory manifesto commitment not to raise national insurance or income tax and vat. she's been asked repeatedly about it during the campaign and today she also refused to rule out weather she was cold to drop that commitment. she did say that the conservatives had no plan to increase the levels of tax and she said that the conservatives were the party of low tax. it is what she had to say. we have absolutely no plans to increase the level of tax. i'm also very clear that i want not to make specific promises and tax unless i'm absolutely sure i can deliver on those. it would be my intention to reduce the taxes on working families. if you have strong and stable leadership that is what you can do. you had accepted that clark is going too far. the chancellor has tied his hands little to tightly. when people come to look

at this decision at the next election they will have a choice between a conservative party that is was with a low tax party but actually over the last few years has takenli actually over the last few years has taken 4 million people out of paying income tax altogether and a labour party that is about raising taxes and higher taxes for the future. a conservative party that believes in lower taxes and whose intention is to reduce the taxes on working families on a labour party that wants to increase tax. she also promised will be more in the tory ma nifesto promised will be more in the tory manifesto about funding for social ca re manifesto about funding for social care and promised to talk more about a long—term sustainable solution but no specific promises from today that. on brexit she has been responding to the eu leaders agreeing that negotiating position very quickly within minutes last night. making these demands that britain settles is the voice bowl first. it guarantees the rights of eu citizens first before any talk of

a future trade deal can happen. theresa may basically refusing, sticking to a position that she wa nts to sticking to a position that she wants to help both the talks on the withdrawal and the future relationship at the same time. she stuck by her position and said that no deal was better than a bad deal. she said that she recognised that the negotiations were going to be tough. talking about the liberal democrats. tim farren has stated again no solutions suggestion of cooperation. —— tim farron. he has said he does not like the direction the tories are taking in the version of the country. he is clear that he doesn't want to go into coalition or enter into any pa ct to into coalition or enter into any pact to prop up the labour party. he wa nts pact to prop up the labour party. he

wants people to vote the lib dems on their own terms. let's not pretend their own terms. let's not pretend the prime minister has chosen selection for any other reason than a cold and calculated desire to do what is right for the conservative party, not for the country. she expect some kind of coronation. what is blindingly obvious is thatjeremy corbyn and the labour party and obsessed with fighting amongst themselves. there is a vacancy for a leader of the opposition and icy given that this is a historic moment for britain whether we choose to go to the cliff edge of a hard brexit choose to let the people decide the terms of the deal, the liberal democrats say we will be strong opposition that britain definitely needs —— desperately needs. opposition that britain definitely needs -- desperately needs. and labour talking about workers' rights. they have put out a 20 point plan to protect workers' rights. they have things we've heard from them before like ending zero hours contracts and ending unpaid internship and minimum wage changes

and shifting the balance in workplaces, standing up for many workers. today theresa may and the conservatives have also come out of the policy aimed towards workers, talking about protecting pensions in the event of a takeover bid nearby memories of the bhs collapse and the deficit there. the tories tried to be the party workers' rights but labour sticking to the guns they are the ones best to represent employees. anthonyjoshua's being hailed as one of the biggest stars in boxing after a sensational win over wladimir klitschko to lift the world heavyweight title. the stoppage time victory was watched by a crowd of 90 thousand at wembley last night. joshua was knocked down in the sixth round — but fought back and floored the 41—year—old ukrainian with a flurry of punches in the 11th. the win meansjoshua adds two belts to his ibf world title — and remains undefeated after 19 professional bouts.

earlier turkey blocked access to wikipedia. some tv dating shows were also banned. there has been social media blocking but this is different because wikipedia is actually a platform to reach out as well. people in the country use wikipedia to present a turkish point of view. if wikipedia is blocked in turkey that means almost handing over the editorial decision to other countries. it is a policy that could backfire. the wikipedia founder jimmy wales took a twitter. access to information is a fundamental human rights.

is still safe to eat. we need to make the best use of our food. if it is still good to eat, let's eat it. customers at a pioneering product plant in leeds sell food that otherwise would have gone in the bin. three tonnes arrive each day. they say we need to learn to love our wonky veg. at the grand old age of 105, mary hayes has finally received her birthday wish. every year at her care home in bath, she's asked what she'd like for her birthday, and every year mary says — a fireman! well, this time they took her at her word — and avon fire and rescue's finest came to present her with a cake. happy birthday, mary, happy birthday. any more? it isa
