will catch up by updating with what theresa may was saying and being questioned on. complete a reporting job, which is unusual in an election campaign. rachel, the point about jeremy corbyn, he faced quite jeremy corbynrhe faced qertee because jeremy corbynrhe faced daitea because he jeremy corbynrhe faced daitea zitegjecause he - seemed you support the era? paxman seemed history a great to dig into his history a great deal. -- the ira. they both faced tough questioning. corbyn about the thing people have been trying to get to stick to him for the last month has not worked about the ira. i disagree. i think this was probably a winfor disagree. i think this was probably a win for corbyn in the sense that theresa may, let's remember we're not having debates because she didn't want them. she didn't want to be exposed to a live debate with jeremy corbyn. the more we see of leremy corbyn. themeceweaseeji the more we seize. corbyn, i is
11:35 pm
public. withjeremy corbyn, it is the opposite. he thrives in this environment. he is very natural and engaged when he has a chance to be with the public. the more exposure she has, the worse she will do and the more it will appear like her leadership is premised on a very thin veneer. with corbyn, the opposite is true for stop the more people see the more they like him. some people. there are a lot of voters. a lot of- are not fact. he is well behind in definite fact. he is well behind in the leadership. here's behind compared with where he was before. it is under liable and completely unimaginable he is doing as well as he is doing. i certainly would do. he has improved and performed quite well tonight. there were some areas

he was wobbly on. he ultimately came through well. i do think she did well. didn't paxman get he said to the g you he said to the gym he to i to her, listen, the way you had to backtrack, let's call it a u—turn over social care and things like that, particularly care of the very elderly. it showed in negotiations over brexit, people in europe will say, you have to stick to your guns and she will run away. that is truth is that she had difficult issues and that quote from jeremy paxman about a blowhard who will roll over at the first sign of battle, whatsoever. that was difficult for her to deal with. on the other hand, when she said, are you prepared to walk away? she gave a good answer to that. said, are you prepared to walk away? she gave a good answer to thatm makes no sense. walking away from a
11:37 pm
no deal is really strong. you could say walking away with no deal is not a strong position. let's have a look at the times. the front page of the times. mae woos working class with a tough line on brexit was that surely it isa tough line on brexit was that surely it is a tough line to say, if we do not like it, we will go. is it tough to say, we will take whatever chaos that will follow a no deal. that is not tough. it makes you look low. like you have no ground to stand on. the piece in the times will be looking at what theresa may is trying to do this week, which is re—energise herfloundering trying to do this week, which is re—energise her floundering campaign by appealing to the working class vote. a lot of the operational premise of this campaign has been
11:38 pm
that the conservatives will basically swallow up ukip voters now that they have moved so far to the right there is no need for ukip. this is very much of them continuing in that same vein. theques voted really is, if the labour party voted for brexit and is going for brexit, then, it is not a given that the ukip photo would automatically switch conservative. quite a few ukip voters were traditional labour voters. that has always been the case. it is true from personal experience, being on the campaign trail, it has not been as much about brexit as an issue in the election on the doorstep. theresa may, despite the setback she has had but she wants to try to return to the agenda trying § has

i has had a bad week or leader. she has had a bad week or so. leader. she has had a bad week or so. the manchester attack and the big wobble over social care which has undermined her position. she wants to get back to some of the issues she think she is stronger on and score points on. she still think she will be more effective over the area of immigration and so on with the brexit negotiations. did the issue of security, came back in some ways to manchester, did security figure in it? did once say, i am really tough on this or not. figure in it? did once say, i am really tc came 1 this or not. figure in it? did once say, i am really tc came 1 ti quite 1ot. figure in it? did once say, i am really tc came 1 ti quite a bit! figure in it? did once say, i am really tc came 1 ti quite a bit from ' 5-13: i "11 "iiw i think the policing questions. i think the policing issue came up quite a bit, that theresa may had cut the police force by 20,000, especially when the police force had warned it would put us police force had warned it would put us in danger if there were a
11:40 pm
security attack. i do not think it was the surprising issue of the debate. don't say debate. let's go back to the business of manchester. martin, perhaps you would start us on this one. it will be in a lot of the papers. it is a picture of some and a birdie case and and a birdie with a blue case and the - hunting for it. -- salman the cops hunting for it. -- salman abedi. this is the latest bit of cctv footage that has been released of his movements. you cctv footage that has been released of a supermarket. you cctv footage that has been released ofa supermarket. you is happening police and mi5 are trying to is the police and mi5 are trying to piece together exactly where he was at all points in the four days since he returned from libya and also to trace this suitcase, which they are saying they do not believe has anything explosive or dangerous in it but at the same time i have informational something in it which is useful to them as part of their
11:41 pm
investigation. basically they want to piece together every single detail of what happened in the period he was in the country. we see so period he was in the country. we see so many images and they come up. they said the public should not approach because you never know what the suitcase might contain. a difficult situation altogether. let's move on. another sad story here. the match around this business about the woman's zookeeper. we are beginning to get a few more details. a couple of the newspapers, we are talking about the metro festival. basically, what we know about this, i think the woman has been named. we know a little bit about it but not a lot. not a lot, except it sounds horrendous and gruesome. zoo was evacuated after bloodcurdling we re a}??? er: lerd tl: 32: e“‘" " ‘ being apparently
