looks set to be offered by loses looks set to be offered by 2028 games as they can relation price, as the ioc considers an unprecedented two games deal in september to avoid the of having no bidders. it is something we all have to look at and we all have to figure out why, you know, our events are not maybe as attractive as they were 20 or 30 years ago. we should always be challenging ourselves as to how would commit these events more appropriate for local community —— how we can make. we need to communicate some of those values, and i'm not sure any of us are really done that. this two horse race seems to close to call. paris and la have hosted the olympics before, and insist theirfocus is solely on the 2024 games. adequate equal time for the future of its event, the ioc knows the race is on to provide a solution that works for everyone. after crashing on the previous stage of the giro d'italia, geraint thomas made a remarkable comeback to finish second in today's

39—kilometre time trial. the welshman‘s chances of winning the race were effectively ruined by the crash a couple of days ago, but the team sky rider rode strongly on the lumpy terrain in the sagrantino wine—growing region near peruguia to move up to 11th in the overall standings. olympic silver medallist tom dumoulin was 49 seconds quicker, and stormed to the top of the general classification. he now leads the race by over two minutes. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. a good day for arsenal, manchester city and motherwell. not such a good one for andy murray. good night. hello there, and welcome to our look

ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me baroness alterman, the former pensions minister, and a columnist at the london evening standard. how is the new boss going down? well, he is the new boss going down? well, he is making all of these changes.” is making all of these changesli wa nt is making all of these changes.” want all of the gossip! we will start by looking at the front pages. the i leads with the launch of the labour party manifesto, calling it the most radicals in the 19805. the times the most radicals in the 19805. the time5 claim5 labour's taxation plans 01’ time5 claim5 labour's taxation plans or in patterns after warnings that a 50p tax rate would fail to raise funds —— are in tatters. they say that business leaders are dismayed by labour's promising of state intervention. len mccluskey of the united union doe5 intervention. len mccluskey of the united union does not believe that labour will win the election, but it will have fought a successful

campaign if it has 200 seats. a55u ra nce5 campaign if it has 200 seats. assurances given campaign if it has 200 seats. a55urance5 given that the serial killer's assurances given that the serial killer's a5her5 assurances given that the serial killer's ashers will not be scattered on saddleworth moor. the express criticises the amount of money spent on keeping him alive. the prime suspect in the killing of wpc yvonne fletcher will not be prosecuted, according to the telegraph, because police were blocked from using key evidence on national security grounds. we will start with the financial times. labour pledges £49 billion tax rise to fund a spending push. a lot of comment about this. are they able to raise all of the money that the need for all of the promises and pledges for all of the promises and pledges for the tax rises? i mean, you read through this manifesto and it is full of promises. we will spend

money on this and that. even though they said they are going to raise 48 or £49 billion in new taxes, many of the promises aren't actually costed at all. they haven't said where the extra money is going to come from for nationalisation, for example. they are going to renationalise the railways and they are going to renationalise royal mail and parts of the energy industry. so there is a lot of promise here. there are costings, but you have to ask the question, you know, this is called a programme of hope. they are kind of hoping that they can find the money. it is difficult for parties in opposition. they don't have a battery and army of civil servants to go through all of the figures the way that the government can. nonetheless, there has to be approximation between what you want to achieve and what you can afford to achieve and what you can afford to achieve. absolutely. of course they are relying on the people who are being taxed, you know, the tax rate is going to go up to 50% for

those earning more than £133,000, that they are not clever enough to find ways of making sure that they don't pay that legitimately! it is very interesting, they are going to also have an excessive pay tax on companies, 2.5%, who gives packages of more than £300,000 to their employees. this is going to be... a lot of companies will have to find ways of giving their employees more money and showing it in their salary. yes, the irony as well, the front page of the financial times briefly mentioned this. lloyds have beenin briefly mentioned this. lloyds have been in public ownership since the financial crash of 2008, they were bailed out with a massive amount of money. it has now been sold. the taxpayer doesn't own it any more! and the taxpayer made a profit. the tories can point to that and say, look... tories can point to that and say, look. . . that tories can point to that and say, look... that was labour's attempt at

nationalising, which has been and done now. we will be hearing about lots more nationalisation. that is a very good point, it was gordon brown. back to the times, labour's packs rein in tatters, plan to miss target by billions, expert warns. —— tax. more analysis of labour's tax proposals. the times have gone to the expert, the ifs, michael gove said they do not want experts! labour said they can raise 4 billion from tax rises, the ifs said people will avoid the tax rises, and they will avoid the tax rises, and they will only raise between two and 3 billion. they haven't got a contingency fund, so all they have got. something like 3—4,000,000,000, because people's behaviour changes. they have got a contingency plan. they have got a contingency plan.

they built in an assumption there will be some behavioural change, they think it could bring 6 billion, they think it could bring 6 billion, they are budgeting on 4 billion, but they are budgeting on 4 billion, but the ifs said it will be more like two to 3 billion. they haven't said how they are going to pay for the nationalisation, they have announced a lot of nationalisation, rail and energy and so on. the french tried this. when president hollande came m, this. when president hollande came in, he introduced a 75 cents tax rate, it was a disaster. —— 75%. the ifs shows that if you earn between 100 and 123,000, under the labour plans you will be paying 73.2% tax. we don't want experts discussing this! what do people know?! expect on this programme, of course. staying with labour, the front page of the guardian. labour won't win, says top union backer. the polls are

suggesting that. but he says that 200 seats, if mr corbyn can keep 200 5eat5, 200 seats, if mr corbyn can keep 200 seats, that will be seen as a win and perhaps he should stay on, the front page of the guardian. both of those things are shocking. for labour to say before the election has even happened, we don't expect to win, is pretty astonishing. i've not seen that before. but then to say... this is the union, not the party. but these are the backers of the party. in a way to. the biggest backers. also to say that 200 seat isa backers. also to say that 200 seat is a success, that would be the worst labour outcome since 1935. even michael foot got 209 seats. isn't there a strategy here that may be corbyn supporters believe that if they get that figure, if corbyn stays on and the labour party that will emerge will be remodelled as the labour party they really want, because the whole thing of the corbyn thing, we've lost our party. it's a bit like the leave campaign,

we wa nt it's a bit like the leave campaign, we want our party back. if they get that will be the launch pad for what they think will be... so they are trying to engineer a split? the so—called blairites, they want to get them out. some of them might lo5e get them out. some of them might lose their seats. this is a believable strategy to a certain extent. if you are going to try and get the sort of change that they are seeking, and mccluskey repeated the point, the reason why labour is not winning is because of the media. point, the reason why labour is not winning is because of the mediam is the reasoning and arguing that jeremy corbyn should stay if he wins 200 seats. neal kennet got 229 and 270 plus. —— neil kinnock. gordon brown left 258. miliband left 232. 200?! and he wants to stay on as leader. this is lowering expectations. if you say, as long as he gets 200, he can stay, they are

building expectation. a lot of labour people are hoping he will not stay, but there is a big support element in the labour party that wants him to state. he can't be removed easily. it is much more difficult now with the nec changes. and also the fact that actually there is a massive constituency within the party, democratically elected, and huge support. that is quite right as far as the party rules go. the telegraph, blocking drones delivering drugs and phones... i do apologise, we have got to head over... labour's election manifesto, let's bring up the cartoon, i'm getting ahead of myself. how could we missed this out?! that is not an internet ransom demand, that is the manifesto! we are running out of time. very quickly onto final story. blocking drones delivering drugs and phones.

this is really interesting. at night time there drones that dropping drugs, guns, phones come into jails and detected. and here you have got and detected. and here you have got ajail and detected. and here you have got a jail in and detected. and here you have got ajail in the and detected. and here you have got a jail in the channel islands, actually, spending money on putting up actually, spending money on putting up an invisible barrier, and electronic barrier,... up an invisible barrier, and electronic barrier, . .. like up an invisible barrier, and electronic barrier,... like a force field! 600 feet high. if a drone tries to cross it, it will be sent back to where it came from. the video screen goes black, the operator can't see anything. video screen goes black, the operator can't see anythingm stops the drone working. not only is that interesting for prisons, but we are also looking in the article about it perhaps being used to protect nuclear facilities. or other, you know, gas storage and energy plants. because apparently they could be subject to drone attacks, you know, which have got a bomb or something. this could be

really interesting technology. very interesting, a good news story. baroness altmann and mihir bose, good to see you both. that's it for the papers. thank you for watching. goodbye. hello. a wet day. of us, especially in parts of england and wales. a very warm day for some, especially in parts of england, east anglia, the south—east of england. into north—east scotland, there was a bit of sunshine for a time. the temperature peaked at about 26 celsius at gravesend in kent, the uk is highest of the year so far, 22 at lossiemouth in murray, scotland's highest temperature of the year so far. contrast across the uk, warm 5un5hine far. contrast across the uk, warm sunshine and rain. parts of england and wales overnight there will be
