earning less than £80,000 a year, as part of an election "personal tax guarantee". theresa may has announced plans to replace the mental health act in england and wales with a new law tackling discrimination and the unnecessary detention of vulnerable people. the liberal democrats say their manifesto will include a commitment to keep the "triple lock" on pensions, which guarantees they rise by as much as wages, inflation, or 2.5%, whichever is highest. france is going to the polls today in the final round of its presidential election. voters are choosing between the centrist, emmanuel macron, and the far—right leader, marine le pen. the islamist militant group, boko haram, has freed 82 schoolgirls in nigeria in exchange for a number of its fighters held by the government. coming up in a few minutes our sunday morning edition of the papers, this morning's reviewers are journalist yasmin alibhai—brown, and david wooding, the political editor of the sun on sunday. before the papers, the sport,

and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. good morning. swansea city's premier league future is in their own hands after they beat everton to climb out of the bottom three. a couple of the other sides fighting relegation, hull city and and crystal palace lost. fernando llorente was the hero for the swansea team. he scored the only goal of the game to give the welsh side a crucial three points. it means they will stay in the top flight if they win their last two matches. they are away at already relegated sunderland next and then face west brom on the final day of the season. but the swans boss says his team must not get ahead of themselves. it just shows what itjust shows what happened this weekend, the swing can go one way for you one week, and the next week

as a home tie in the play—offs. wasps and an understrength saracens had a chance of both, fitting that they played each other then. even more fitting that christian wade scored for wasps, his 17th try of the season, equalling the league record. it helped the home side dominate the second half. their only lion, elliot daly, will hope to feast against the all blacks next month. he got in some practice here, before his team—mate thomas young, son of the coach dai, rounded off the win with his hat—trick. 35—15 the score, wasps top, saracens third. in between them are exeter, they beat gloucester to secure second for the second successive season, while the fourth and final play—off spot went the way of leicester. 23 points from departing fly—half freddie burns got them over the line at worcester, but the celebrations can't last long. it's the play—offs next, and the search for england's top team continues. tim hague, bbc news. in the pro 12 munster finished the

the observer headlines on labour's plans to increase income tax for people earning more than eighty—thousand—pounds, ifjeremy corbyn becomes the next prime minister. the sunday telegraph has that same story and also reports that the european commission's own lawyers say a suggested 100 billion euro brexit divorce bill could not be legally enforced. the sunday times — says the move is in a bid to shore up labour's core support — as a new poll suggests the party has fallen 19 points behind the tories. the paper — which is publishing its annual rich list — also says brexit has seen the combined wealth of the country's 1,000 richest individuals surge. the sunday express says — theresa may is to unveil a set of manifesto pledges — which will serve as labour's death warrant. and the mail on sunday criticises a controversial drama to be aired on the bbc about the royal family. the bbc has defended the production as a "critically acclaimed and fictional" play,

which the mail has described as "astonishingly good". so let's begin. who shall we start with? yasmin, the 0bserver, this seems to be the election story at this early hour, labour will fund spending by raising tax on £80,000 earners. a fair amount of detail of what they want. there is, and if the party wasn't in such disarray, which it is, many people would support, i would support it. i would support such a move because in such a hopelessly economically divided country, and we are going to talk about the people who have more money, bathing in money, it doesn't make for a happy society. we have so many reports telling us our children are more miserable, our health is worse than

countries which are more equal. the problem is, nothing is held together by this team properly but is trying to sell itself and its policies. this is labour. ifeel terrible saying it. sticking with the policy that they outline, £80,000, for an awful lot of people they'll say that's an enormous amount of money. but if you live in the south—east of england and you've got to people working it's not. it's an interesting figure. it'sjust a bit more than what an mp earns, strangely enough. you mustn't cast any aspersions! the leader of the 0pposition gets rather more. any aspersions! the leader of the opposition gets rather more. of course. it's all about where you pitch it. the conservatives are clearly working out what they do. the chancellor philip hammond has said he needs more room, more flexibility. you'll need tax—raising powers if he can but they want to portray themselves as the party of

low taxation. the issue is, there will be 1.2 million people paying more tax. while this will appeal to the hard—core labour voter in working—class low— paid areas, the hard—core labour voter in working—class low—paid areas, there will be people in the nhs such as doctors who will be earning more than 80,000 who may think twice, and headteachers. i think if it was well presented as something that was necessary for the nhs, for education, a lot of us would go for it. 85%? 95% of us. we might only problem is is that it's presented hopelessly inadequately. headteachers earn a lot of money, vice chancellors and a lot of money. it's right they should pay, we should pay. but it's the top cream that finds ways of not paying. it's interesting to me the sunday telegraph front page have been same story very much, and their

headliners, labour tax to hammer workers, "a savage cash raid". we all know the telegraph is a right—wing newspaper but the wording matters a lot now. of course it does. they are focusing on the other aspect which is that labour haven't said what the tax rise will be for people earning over £80,000. i think the decision a lot of people will make if taxation is an issue that helps to decide your boat, is when the conservatives come clean on what they are going to do about taxation. clearly they don't have a simple choice, they've got to do something about giving the chancellor money that he needs. one of the things about brexit that they are going to consider seriously, is that it becomes a low tax economy for those who create jobs. 0ne becomes a low tax economy for those who create jobs. one of the ideas has been to do what ireland did, which is lower corporation tax and

so on. which is lower corporation tax and so on. how that fit with the need, as you said, for more money in the coffers 7 as you said, for more money in the coffers? one thing we haven't heard about is this thing about large companies who avoid that. we've got to be careful who we mention because some do and some surprisingly don't. but for the popular bit of politics only a short time ago. yes. and the telegraph line is people earning over £80,000 will have made a success over £80,000 will have made a success of their lives, some will have clawed their way up to that level and feel, why am i being punished for my success. that is one side of the argument that you've also eloquently expressed the other side of the ottoman. they will be thinking, what about these huge organisations, multimillionaires, who somehow have creative taxation accountancy, which helps them to avoid paying anything. in the end you have to say, there is such a thing as society. we all share a

space. if we all contributed a bit more, that space could be a much better space for us. how many handbags do you need that cost £30,000? how many? none, in my case! better ask my wife. laughter we talked about the conservatives, it different tact from them today but an interesting one about mental health. it's on the front pages, it's a small story but it's quite important. theresa may, when she became prime minister, one of the first things she did when she stood outside downing street injuly was said she wants to end the prejudices in our society. one of the prejudices was against people suffering from mental health. what she is announcing today, which is in the papers, is that she wants to scrap the 1983 mental health act,

which is regarded by campaigners as being completely unfit and out of date, an anachronism in fact. she says it discriminates against people. apart from that it will reduce the number of people who are detained, sometimes often in police cells. there is a disproportionate numberof cells. there is a disproportionate number of black and ethnic people locked up under the mental health act and she hopes it. that. there's also other action being announced here, such as mental health first aid as in schools. some kids suffer from mental health issues at the age of 14 because of things like cyber bullying and the workplace will be forced to have mental health first aid is as well. all of this is going to cost money. i recently spoke to someone to cost money. i recently spoke to someone from the royal college of psychiatry. funding for a lot of these developments of young people being distressed to the point of

non—functionality, there is no money. so it's no good our prime minister saying i want to do something about it. it's good she's getting rid of this awful archaic law, but where is the money to really provide the kind of services every section of the population now need is to mark why are we so mentally ill is a question which i think relates back to the terrible inequalities that we've gone through and are living with now. the funding issues needs to be answered. she say she will employ an extra 10,000 medical health medical staff in the nhs by 2020. labour say that there has been a reduction of 6000. i often wonder where these figures... they always seem suspiciously rounded up. i'm talking about all the political parties who do it. if there's been a big fall, you've got to make up that shortfall before you stop recruiting more. but also,

various other things have been cut, where very high levels of mental distress, like women's refuges. where quite a lot of women who have been abused is to find shelter and find a lot of therapeutic help. they've been shut down across the country. no joined up they've been shut down across the country. nojoined up thinking about the needs that are there and how you fund them and do it properly. what i think is positive about this is that mental health is being treated more seriously by all politicians and a good thing that the celebrities have done, a lot of celebrities, footballers, the royals, they've all come out and spoken about it. the stigma is slowly being removed and i think that's good. if theresa may is really going to do this, good for her. it's made of the newspapers as well. the mail on sunday has it as well. the mail on sunday has it as well. there's a spread in the mail

oi'i well. there's a spread in the mail on sunday and we've got it on page two in the sun. let's move on. yasmin, start off on the rich list. you've already mentioned that you aren't in favour of £20,000 handbags. not necessary. are you in a state of rage about billionaires generally? is fascinating, isn't it? it's not fascinating. why are you begin people? 0k, it's not fascinating. why are you begin people? ok, you start up a company and you do well and that's fine, it's capitalism, i have no problems with that. but the real heroes of our country are those neurosurgeons who are saving lives. why don't we have a list our top doctors? our top social service workers? this concentration on the quite offensive amounts of money... we have food banks growing around the country. i'm sorry, there's

nothing to celebrate for me here. 0k, nothing to celebrate for me here. ok, let's not celebrate, let's report. again, it's the hinduja brothers who are always at the top. they've increased their wealth by {3.2 they've increased their wealth by £3.2 billion to £162 they've increased their wealth by £3.2 billion to £16.2 billion on oils, plastics and other things. they've opened a posh hotel in london. the overall figures are quite fun. the fortunes have risen by 14%, this has been fuelled by what is called the brexit boom. this is to do with in some way the buoyant stock market and also the weaker pound. a lot of these multi billionaires have money invested overseas. an interesting fact is that we now have 134 billionaires in the uk. there were only 14 last year. that is a huge leap. there are

86 billionaires in london which is more than in any other city in the world. and how much tax do they pay? and do they see the beggars on the street, or they don't walk the streets ? street, or they don't walk the streets? they can look at the back of the rolls—royce. not all people... there is a funny picture on the front page of adele where she is pretending to be this catherine tate character. she likes disguises. she's made about £125 million. i remember a while ago when she didn't like the taxes she was having to pay as her money went up. actually, again, how many handbags do you need, adele? jk rowling, £650 million, harry potter wizardry there. she still says she a

socialist, interestingly. some people go down. sir philip greene, there's a name. and mike ashley of sports direct. there is a god! laughter it brings me onto another thing, david, there are a lot of people who are very wealthy who don't ever appear in this list. they make sure they don't talk to the researchers, or the researchers can't find out. there must be a lot of that about. there is. i disagree with you on this one. oh david, no! i'm not supporting them and good luck to some of them. i find it fascinating reading the magazine because it breaks it down into the arts, doctors, football, everything. journalists don't seem to appear in there! laughter we are more

concerned about the labour story on the taxes, i think. concerned about the labour story on the taxes, ithink. let's concerned about the labour story on the taxes, i think. let's move onto a story altogether. it's in a couple of the papers, the mail on sunday. pride and plagiarism, no tv historian, lucy insists... what is this about? lucy worsley has written a book about jane austen and there isa a book about jane austen and there is a suggestion that she cut and pasted it and tickled around with it a bit from another book... paula byrne. they say all the facts are in there. her response is that there are a lot of books written about jane austen and all these facts are common ground and she hasn't lifted it. the gracious doctor byrne is saying, i'm not getting involved in

this one. she says, the more books about jane austin, the this one. she says, the more books aboutjane austin, the better the jane austen. jane austen has been gone a number of years, there can't be much more new to say about her. there can't. this is one of the dangers of our times. you can google anything and once upon a time you had to sit in the library, take a book down and write your own notes in pencil in the british library. now it's all feeding into you. sometimes i think it's quite easy to forget it came through another source because it becomes quickly pa rt source because it becomes quickly part of the way you think. quite a lot of authors have landed in trouble by unconsciously almost filtering information that had earlier appeared. it's a great drama, this unconscious plagiarism. we get this in newspapers will be break an exclusive and put it online, then it's cut and pasted

into people's blogs, virtually word for word, by people who attack the paperand for word, by people who attack the paper and say they don't like it. then they put it on their own websites in the same language. in other sections of the daily mail, it does a separate review of lucy worsley's book and it gives her four stars out of five. laughter you like her, that's it! that's it for the papers. strong winds and rain have swept across parts of eastern china, bringing down trees and cutting off power lines. in some areas gales have reached force ten over the last two days. andy beatt reports. as daylight faded, firefighters attached to safety ropes and waded through a torrent of raging water to rescue 44 tourists. the group were visiting a waterfall

in a rural part of fujian province when torrential rain triggered flash flooding. trapped for more than three hours, they were first given food and water before being taken to higher ground. further north, injilin province, gale force ten winds ripped roofs off buildings. trees were uprooted and vehicles were crushed. translation: the roofs of the steel houses are flying everywhere. look at the billboard behind me, it was brand—new, just put up today, but was blown down by wind all the same. debris was strewn across roads and pavements, narrowly missing some pedestrians. at least 12 power lines were damaged. engineers worked through the night to end the blackout. beijing has not escaped the severe weather either. a pedestrian was trapped underneath a fallen fence

but escaped without serious injury. the wind was so powerful it took anything not nailed down with it. let's go to france and the french presidential election is happening today. only two candidates, emmanuel macron, the centrist, a former minister in fact. there he is, a young man, young contender, voting in his hometown of the delightful le touquet. he has voted. only two people now in the race. saying hello to the voters, patting the dog. is there a baby to kiss? a bit later that! other candidate is marine le

pen of the front national, described as the far right candidate. she's said that she's just concentrating on this election. only the two of them in the race and the result will be announced this evening. we will be announced this evening. we will be live with french election coverage on the bbc news channel from 6:30pm. never mind france, what about this side of the channel and the prospects for the weather? another day that is going to be warm and sunny for some but not for all. let's ta ke and sunny for some but not for all. let's take a look at where we are unlikely to see too much sunshine. you can see by this weather watcher picture in whitley bay earlier on today, a lot of cloud and drizzle. a different story to the west of the pennines, a beautiful start to the morning, chilly but lots of sunshine. that's going to be the story as we go through the day. the

west will be best for the sunshine. always coming in of the sea, more in the way of cloud and a disappointing feel to things. the winds will start to pick up, close to gale force in the northern isles. because the wind direction is changing to northerly it means we might see temperatures not quite as high as they have been across the highlands of scotland where it has been lovely in recent days. still pleasant, 16—18d, calderwood that strong wind and more cloud. but, if we get 21 degrees in northern ireland today somewhere it will be the warmest day of the year so farfor northern will be the warmest day of the year so far for northern ireland. with the sunshine across parts of wales and parts of the western half of england we will see those temperatures responding. it will feel pleasant, 18—19 degrees. a cooler disappointing feel to things along the east coast with the breeze bringing plenty of cloud. through the night but will continue. temperatures will fall away and so we aren't out of the woods yet,

gardeners take note. there's a potential for a light frost, anywhere from north wales open to the north—west as we look first thing on monday morning. there will be some sunshine again out to the west, almost a repeat performance of today's weather story. east coast close to the north sea will be cool, cloudy and breezy. western areas will see weren't coming through. we might see 16—17 degrees in the south—west on monday afternoon if we are lucky. on tuesday and wednesday, high pressure in the driving seat still. but i want to draw your attention to this area of low pressure moving in from the atlantic. there's a potentialfor that to bring some rain towards the end of the working week. to start off with its a largely quiet story, staying dry, hopefully some decent sunny spells. enjoy the week. this is bbc news. the headlines at ten. no increase in income tax,

national insurance or vat — labour's pledge to 95% of workers, if it wins the election. nurses, 11% cut in wages in the past seven years. some of them having to go to food banks? our nurses? that cannot be right. so we are going to ask those higher earners just to pay a bit more. the conservatives promise more mental health staffing in the nhs — and say fewer people will be detained against their will. you going into the nhs, that's going into mental health. and it's not just about money, it's the people who deliver these jobs, which is why we need the 10,000 extra. the liberal democrats commit to keeping the "triple lock" on pensions — but those on higher incomes
