what it cannot deliver in its ma nifesto what it cannot deliver in its manifesto and has donald trump classified security by sharing highly classified information with the russians and compromised his presidency? good evening and welcome to bbc news. with just over three weeks to polling day, labour has unveiled its manifesto. jeremy corbyn said labour would build ‘a betterfuture for britain', ending government for the rich and the elite. the manifesto includes pledges costing some {48.5 billion to be paid for in part by increasing taxes on business and higher earners. labour wants to nationalise the railways, the water companies in england, and royal mail.

it also wants to scrap university tuition fees in england. it would reverse some of the cuts in welfare benefits and end the public sector pay freeze. and it would invest an extra £37 billion in the nhs in england. but labour's opponents say the figures are not credible, as our political editor laura kuenssberg reports. here it is — labour's proposed contract, with you. this would be his cabinet. this isjeremy corbyn‘s deal. cheering and applause a massive moment for the man, who two years ago, was a total outsider. i'm delighted to introduce to you, the leader of the labour party and our next prime minister, jeremy corbyn. a plan he believes the country needs. whatever your age or situation, people are under pressure, struggling to make ends meet.

our manifesto is for you. listing plenty of crowd pleasers here. labour will scrap tuition fees, lifting the debt... cheering and applause labour is guaranteeing the triple lock to protect pensioners' incomes. applause and, labour will take our railways back into public ownership and put passengers first. applause more childcare, more cash for the nhs, too. paid for by the richest 5% and taxes on business. with nearly £50 billion of extra spending, paid for by nearly £50 billion of tax. we're asking the better—off and the big corporations to pay a little bit more. and, of course, to stop

dodging their tax obligations in the first place. this is a programme of hope. the tory campaign, by contrast, is built on one word, "fear." applause for good orfor ill, you think it's time to pay for your ideas, to tax more, to spend more, and to borrow more. do you know what — every other country in the world says, why does britain invest so little and pay itself so little, while it allows such grotesque levels of inequality to get worse? let's turn it around and do it the other way. do you think the public are going to go for something as radical as this? i think those earning over £80,000, paying a little bit more to pay for our health service and our children's education, i think that they'll be positive and supportive of it. fantastic manifesto.

the manifesto that you've got there, laura, is full of really, really popular policies and i am fighting harder, as is every labour candidate, for a labour victory, for a labour government led byjeremy corbyn. do you really believe he's up to the job now? jeremy corbyn is a leader who's had to fight to keep his job since he started but broadly the manifesto is built in his image. this is his radical offer, to you. the manifesto is the biggest hypothetical expansion of the state in many years. but how exactly would his ideas work? why in this manifesto is there no scale, no ballpark figure for how much it might cost the public purse? how much are you prepared to borrow renationalise four major industries? because we don't know what the share price will be at the time that we do it. as i said in the case of rail, there is a neutral cost on it. i believe in the case of water, the same would apply in exchange for the bond issue. 0n the other side of the equation, you haven't promised to reverse

all the tory welfare cuts. now for some of your supporters, do you accept that might be quite disappointing? no, what i've said on the welfare cuts and cap issue is this — that we have set aside £2 billion to deal with the worst effects of the benefit cap, which will help a lot. so you are not reversing the whole thing but you are making some... you will see a lot of changes on it but bear in mind we've had two weeks in order to prepare all of these policy issues because of the speed at which the election has been called. i accept the challenge. we've produced, i think, a very well—thought—out and a very credible manifesto in a very short space of time. i think we deserve some credit for that actually but it's all right. well, it'll be up to the voters. indeed. i look forward to their decision. there's never been a question that he can pull a crowd. rapture down the road in huddersfield. right, we have lift off. butjeremy corbyn has three weeks to be heard across the board. politics is not just who can shout the loudest. laura kuenssberg,

bbc news, bradford. in wales, plaid cymru has launched its manifesto, telling voters that wales badly needs a ‘strong voice‘ during the brexit process to protect welsh industry and agriculture. the party leader leanne wood said she wanted to ensure that wales could continue to trade with europe without costly barriers. policies include scrapping business rates, creating a publicly—owned bank, and retaining the triple lock on pensions. the rate of inflation rose last month to its highest since september 2013. the office for national statistics says prices — as measured by the consumer price index — were 2.7% higher in april than the year before. it means the cost of living is now rising faster than wages. the white house has denied president trump compromised national security by revealing classified information to the russian government at a meeting last week. it follows the confirmation on twitter earlier today

by the president that he had shared the information. the white house said it was ‘wholly appropriate‘ for the president to share the information. but senior republicans and democrats have expressed concern that the material, said to be highly sensitive intelligence provided by one of america‘s allies about an islamic state terror threat, was shared with moscow. 0ur north america editor jon sopel has the latest. this meeting with the russian foreign minister and ambassador was already controversial enough, coming a day after the sacking of the fbi director, who had been investigating the trump campaign‘s links to moscow. now it‘s being claimed that during the meeting, the president shared the most highly classified information with his guests, so sensitive that america‘s allies, like britain, knew nothing about it. as the white house once again scrambled to put out the fire, the national security advisor last night emerged to say the story was nonsense. at no time were intelligence sources or methods discussed and the president did not disclose any military operations that were not already publicly known.

i was in the room, it didn‘t happen. but then on twitter this morning, from the president, a different story. yes, it did and so what. he wrote: "as president, i wanted to share with russia, at an openly scheduled white house meeting, which i have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining to terrorism and airline flight safety." so once again, the general was sent out to face the guns and explain the change of story. what the president discussed with the foreign minister was wholly appropriate to that conversation and is consistent with the routine sharing of information between the president and any leaders with whom he‘s engaged. and the president was sticking to generalities today. we had a very, very successful meeting with the foreign minister of russia. 0ur fight is against isis, as general mcmaster said, i thought he said and i know he feels that we had actually a great meeting. 0n capitol hill, the only reaction has been fury from democrats,

and from republicans willing to talk, a certain exasperation and weariness. i think we could do with a little less drama from the white house on a lot of things, so that we can focus on our agenda. another influential republican said the white house seemed to be in a downward spiral. the president is frustrated, but it‘s hard to see what‘s going to change. the abnormal is becoming normal. john sopel, bbc news, washington greater manchester police say the death of the moors murderer ian brady won‘t stop them looking for the remains of 12—year—old keith bennett — the only one of his victims whose body was never found. brady and his partner myra hindley abducted keith in 1964 and refused to say where he was buried. brady was jailed in 1966 for the murder of three children, and later admitted to another two killings. he died yesterday at the age of 79. 0ur correspondent judith moritz reports. his name will always be notorious,

his face the image of evil — ian brady, the moors murderer. he took children and tortured them and brought their bodies high up to the hills above manchester. 0n the desolate moors, the police spent years searching for their remains. brady‘s accomplice was his girlfriend, myra hindley. she died 15 years ago. brady‘s death closes a chapter of criminal history. five children died at their hands. the youngest, lesley ann downey, was just ten years old. her family are still grieving. i remember when i sat on the stairs in hattersley and me mum had to go to identify lesley. she come through the door and... shejust nodded. you know, it still gets me now. at their trial, the pair were met with publicjeers. sentenced to life, brady was at first taken to prison, but in 1985, he was

transferred to ashworth, a high security hospital. from there, he wrote letters. in one he claimed to feel remorse. but he showed no sympathy to the family of 12—year—old keith bennett, whose remains were never located. it consumed the life of his mother, winnie, who died without knowing where he lay. the police say that virtually every week someone gets in touch purporting to be able to lead them to keith, but they‘re not actively searching the moors at the moment. they say though that they will never close the case and ian brady‘s death doesn‘t change that. yesterday, knowing his death was imminent, brady called his solicitor to see him. i don‘t think there was anything he really knew or had any information that would assist in the location of keith bennett‘s body. did brady say anything which would give the families of the victims any comfort? no. today a coroner said that brady‘s ashes must not be scattered

across these moors. bad enough that he had taken his saddleworth secret to the grave, controlling and cruel to the last. judith moritz, bbc news. nine years after it was rescued by the state during the financial crisis, lloyd banking group is returning to private ownership. the government has sold its remaining shares in lloyds, ending one of the biggest bailouts of the crisis. at one point, 43% of the company was state—owned. the reprivatisation of lloyds is expected to be officially announced tomorrow. a man who was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder a female police officer outside the libyan embassy in london in 1984 has been told he won‘t face charges. scotland yard said key material in the case of pc yvonne fletcher couldn‘t be used in court, on grounds of national security. that‘s a summary of the news, newsday is coming up at midnight. now on bbc news it‘s

time for newsnight. it‘s a bonanza! labour‘s manifesto promises a fairer more prosperous society for the many not just the few, with tax, borrow and spend, and spend. how‘s it playing with the core vote? and i‘m very proud to present our manifesto for the many — not the few. thank you very much! i believe in the labour party, what they stand for, but ijust don't think he's got enough people behind him, he's not strong enough to lead the party, really. i've waited all my life to hear a manifest like that. it looks after people. is it grim up north for labour, or will the heartlands hold? the shadow cabinet‘s richard burgen joins us from leeds. also tonight: we can't have someone in the oval office who doesn‘t understand the meaning of the word "confidential" or "classified". apparently we can, though. did donald trump compromise a key intelligence source, by giving the russian foreign minister secret intelligence about islamic state? is this one too far even for the donald or is he another teflon president that nothing sticks to.

and we go to durham to examine the new divide — educated remainers versus working class brexiteers. i don‘t think our values are under threat, as much as we just need
