this election is about what kind of future we want for our children. it is about protecting our values of openness, of compassion, of cooperation. it's about our promise that a confident and caring future is possible, if we work together, if we do politics differently and if we dare to be more ambitious. on the terms of any brexit deal. they want to explore having a universal basic income and a shorter working week. plus, they've got a long—term aim to scrap university tuition fees in england and all existing student loan debt. they're defending one seat but hoping to win over voters in places such as bristol west. i feel like a lot of green supporters are now maybe going more labour because labour have maybe more of a chance. but i'm still a green supporter. i wouldn't personally vote for the green party. but i can see them becoming a force in the future with labour taking a back seat. the greens say they're
10:31 pm
standing up for young people and the environment, but they're standing aside in more seats than they're likely to win in the hope that it will help labour and the liberal democrats. pushing for a progressive alliance with other parties on the left has led to criticism they'll end up in a coalition of chaos. they want to transform politics. to do that, they first need to get located. elinor garnier, bbc news. sinn fein has launched its general election manifesto, which is calling for a referendum on whether northern ireland should leave the uk and become part of the irish republic. the party wants the vote to be held within five years. sinn fein‘s leader in northern ireland, michelle o'neill, said the only way of securing a future in the european union was to end partition with the republic. so this is very much an opportunity to tell both the tories and the dup, again, in the strongest possible terms that we reject brexit, that we reject any border, that we reject any attempt to put
10:32 pm
limits on our freedom of movement, we reject barriers to trade and agriculture. and we absolutely reject tory cuts, that we stand for rights, for equality and for irish unity. one of the most recognised and imitated images in the world, known as the great wave, was originally a woodblock print created by the japanese artist katsushika hokusai almost 200 years ago. it is the centrepiece of a show, that opens this week at the british museum, looking at the last decades of the artist's long life, when he produced some of his greatest works. our arts editor, will gompertz, has been to take a look. dramatic music. it's emblematic of the power of the sea. you've got these men in their boats completely dwarfed by the power of the great wave. but i think it's also become
10:33 pm
in some ways emblematic of the power of all of nature. and you're immediately aware of this almost frozen power of the image and i've come to think that maybe hokusai is actually inventing animation with this image. when hokusai made his famous series of wood block prints featuring mount fuji, he was around 70, old for some but not for him. he considered it a new beginning of his life as an artist which he felt had onlyjust begun. at the age of 75 he takes the name old man crazy to paint which is wonderful, i think it's an expression of this continuing ambition. he is determined, the older he gets, the better he will become. from the age of 90, there is an extraordinary painting of a dragon in a rain cloud. technically this is a staggering painting and hokusai has this all worked out in his head before he ever touches his brush to paper.
10:34 pm
you can't make corrections with this kind of painting, it's not like an oil painting where you can scrub a bit out and do it again. you've got to get it right the first time. his popularity is international. he crosses borders and cultures. what is it about his work that makes it resonate so? he's interested in the world of work. ordinary people going about their business in sometimes amazing nature, sometimes in the city of edo. it's not the really grand people he tends to paint, it's us. we know hokusai was a great master who influenced the likes of van gogh and degas, but what this exhibition also shows is that old age doesn't necessarily mean a slow decline, rather a fresh start and unleashing of creative powers and a time to produce your finest work. will gompertz, bbc news. newsnight is coming up on bbc two, here's even. an awkward day for the tories
10:35 pm
altering a manifesto policy on social care, that was only four days old. what does it tell us about theresa may? we'll hear what one of the daily mail's most senior columnists makes of it. join me now on bbc two. here on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. good evening. i'm hugh woozencroft, welcome to sportsday. the headlines tonight... what next for david moyes and sunderland following his resignation as manager? and, russia's warning — tackle doping or face exclusion from the 2018 winter paralympics. and former moto gp champion nicky hayden has died following a cycle crash in italy. good evening.

10:37 pm
negative from the start, before the tra nsfer negative from the start, before the transfer window had even expired last august he were talking about the relegation fight that sunderland would be in. and sure enough, that proved to be the case, and this cloud over david moyes about whether he would continue on in the job cloud over david moyes about whether he would continue on in thejob has preceded him for a couple of weeks. he spoke to ellis short, sunderland's american owner. david moyes has walked away, he has resigned, with ellis short saying he has done so without any compensation. the former moto gp world champion nicky hayden has died in hospital following injuries sustained while cycling in italy last week. the american world superbike rider suffered severe head and chest injuries following a collision with a car near the seaside resort of rimini. nick parrot reports. a life on two wheels was nicky hayden's destiny. both his parents raced motorbikes on dirt tracks, and he and his two brothers and two sisters followed in their tyre tracks. nicknamed the kentucky kid, he was riding by the age of three,

10:39 pm
in rio last year after a state—sponsored doping scandal. that ban will continue to pyeongchang unless the russian paralympic committee proves that it has changed its practices by early september. i think the thing is, we have already stated today that we haven't seen sufficient progress for them to be reinstated. therefore, the consequence of that, if they're not reinstated then they won't be in pyeongchang. it is a very, very serious moment, timewise. the british and irish lions head coach, warren gatland, says he's disappointed to lose star player billy vunipola, but thinks he and his squad must "look forward". saracens and england number eight vunipola will miss the summer tour to new zealand for further treatment to a shoulder injury. you know, i did try and persuade him to come over and be assessed and... you know, look at managing him. but
10:40 pm
he was adamant that wasn't right. if someone he was adamant that wasn't right. if someone is not, you know, 100% right in terms of that commitment, he is a big loss to us, but i fully understand and respect the decision that's been made. england's cricketers face south africa in three warm—up one—day internationals, the first of which is on wednesday, before the start of the champions trophy next week. one of their star players, ben stokes, was voted the indian premier league's most valuable player today, and speaking to our reporter patrick gearey, says he'd like to see more of his international team—mates in the competition. it would be great in the future if, you know, maybe the whole england team could possibly be out there. you know, it's notjust the fact of playing in the tournament, is just the exposure you get is a player. you know, playing in high—pressure situations against all of the best players in the world, what they do, you've got guys bowling 150 and guys working it out the park. if you don't hit the areas you want to bowl. all in all, a great

months of giving birth. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. thank you forjoining us. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are pauljohnson, deputy editor of the guardian and former conservative mp. and director of bell pottinger, tim collins. good to see you both. let's have a look at some of the front pages. tomorrow's front pages, starting with. .. the financial times leads with the undisputed political story of the day — the conservatives‘ social care u—turn. it says it's "rattled" the tory campaign. the telegraph calls it "chaos". it reports there's confusion
10:43 pm
about exactly what the new social care cost cap will be. the guardian too is deeply critical. it calls it "may's manifesto meltdown". pensioners will pay for the new policy, according to the times, but it reports that tory sources say it won't require tax rises or spending cuts. the metro says that the prime minister has denied accusations that she's not so much "strong and stable" as "weak and wobbly". the mirror asks, how can we ever trust mrs u—turn? a different lead entirely for the daily mail, an investigation reveals vulnerable teenagers have been exposed to pornography through facebook. a rather topicalfront page from the express, although it's not actually about the so—called dementia tax. it says scientists have found dementia runs in the family. so, let's begin... tim, i'm going to start with you.
10:44 pm
theresa may, strong and stable all week and wobbly, like jelly on a plate, so goes the nursery rhyme! this plays against the very thing that she was trying to put forward in this campaign, it's all about leadership, that it's about a strong negotiating hand, that you want boadicea leading us into these brexit talks. jolyon a plate, according to the metro? -- jelly on according to the metro? -- jelly on a plate. brexit more than anything else was about politicians not listening. for decades they wouldn't listening. for decades they wouldn't listen to what the public was saying about emigration and power is going to brussels. we do have a prominence to brussels. we do have a prominence to now who clearly has listened. —— we do have a prime minister. the reaction of particularly tory leaning voters on the doorstep was very negative to this, and she has listened. the thing about the u—turn bit, that element of the policy that is new today actually takes us straight back to david cameron's policy and what was the goverment‘s policy and what was the goverment‘s policy until a week ago, that there
