no pressure. and he takes that well. no problem. christopher schindler had sent huddersfield town into the elite, boldly going where they had never been before, the premier league. huddersfield were led there by a young german manager, david wagner, who had been relatively unknown here. this is the fairy tale which usually is not possible but they've done it. we are very, very happy. i am one of the happiest men on this planet at the minute, i think. so proud for what the players have done. i'm happy for everybody who is connected and supports huddersfield town. back in 1921, huddersfield hired a manager a few years younger than wagner is now. herbert chapman said them to the fa cup, then three english titles in a row, something that had never been done before. as power in english football moved from towns to cities, huddersfield declined. they fell out of the top tier for the last time in 1972. by 2003, they were in the league's bottom division, and in administration.

1:38 pm
is campaigning today on the party's promise of free childcare for two to four year olds. however, mr corbyn was left red—faced during an interview on radio 4's woman's hour when he appeared not know how much the policy would cost to put in place. he was pressed on the issue by presenter emma barnett. we know from appalling the economy topsissues we know from appalling the economy tops issues for men and women. how much will it cost to provide on means much will it cost to provide on m ea ns tested much will it cost to provide on means tested childcare for 1.3 million children? it will cost... it will obviously cotes allot million children? it will cost... it will obviously cotes al lot to do so. will obviously cotes al lot to do so. it costs a lot to do it. we are making a universal so we are in a position to make sure every child gets it and those that at the moment
1:39 pm
gets it and those that at the moment get free places will continue to get it. how much will it cost? you don't know? you are logging into your ipad. you have announced a major policy and you don't know how much it will cost? can i give you the exact figure in a moment? this came up exact figure in a moment? this came up under gordon brown. we cannot trust the labour party with our money. not at all. our manifesto is fully costed and examined. you have had a phone call since we have been a year. you have your ipad and the ma nifesto. a year. you have your ipad and the manifesto. you don't know how much it will cost. it is quite troubling. this is our policy you're wanting today and you don't know how much it is going to cost. our correspondent
1:40 pm
is going to cost. our correspondent is with the campaign forjeremy corbyn. that was uncomfortable to watch. indeed, i don't think that was jeremy corbyn's best performance at all this morning on woman's hour. coming so soon after diane abbott's interview on lbc a couple of weeks ago when she also wondered on police numbers, acquis policy she was promoting that morning. that is the key point. this is a policy that jeremy corbyn wanted to talk about, about extending universal childcare for all children aged two to four. defending the fact this would cost millions of pounds. and then not to be across the figures on a key interview is really rather embarrassing and plays into the hands of the conservatives because
1:41 pm
their key campaign attack line on jeremy corbyn and labour is that jeremy corbyn and labour is that jeremy corbyn and labour is that jeremy corbyn cannot be trusted. do not take the risk with jeremy corbyn over brexit negotiations, he is not up over brexit negotiations, he is not up to the job. we have over brexit negotiations, he is not up to thejob. we have been over brexit negotiations, he is not up to the job. we have been saying that after the interview. slip—up like this at a time like this is highly embarrassing. the overwhelming feeling was that last night he did 0k the overwhelming feeling was that last night he did ok with the overwhelming feeling was that last night he did 0k withjeremy paxman? absolutely. i think the labour camp was pretty pleased with how the interview with jeremy paxman went. this morning, jeremy corbyn was at a nursery, speaking of how proud he was about spending this money and giving costings. and then within half an hour to stumble in an interview, we heard from barry god
1:42 pm
this afternoon who said this is a rapid fire of an election campaign and politicians are under the spotlight. it is not that the policy was not costed, it is just that he didn't have a grasp on it at that moment. but i think not to have a grasp of a key policy you're out promoting that day will come back to haunt him. thank you. one more thing to mention — today at 3:30pm on bbc news we will be putting your questions about education in this election to our correspondent. if you have a question on tuition fees, classroom sizes or grammar schools, you can get in touch. scientists in the united states have made what they see as a major advance in infections resistant to
1:43 pm
antibiotics. resistance to antibiotics. resistance to antibiotics has been classed by the world health organisation is one of the biggest threats to global health. a government review into the problem estimated that if no solution is found, by 2050, worldwide, drug—resista nt infections will kill someone every three seconds. the new version of this drug is now so powerful they have labelled it as magic. it is 1000 times stronger and works in different ways. doctors
1:44 pm
claim they could use the modified form without fears of it becoming resista nt. form without fears of it becoming resistant. there is growing resista nce resistant. there is growing resistance to drugs in other diseases such as tb, malaria and hiv. what happens when two strong—minded individuals from opposite sides of the political debate sit down for dinner? the victoria derbyshire programme sent ex—ukip leader nigel farage and journalist racheljohnson — a remain campaigner, and borisjohnson's sister — on an election blind date. music. hi, i'm racheljohnson. how do people best know you? oh, that's such a mean question. i think i've probably got to admit that they think of me as the sister of boris. which is annoying, but i have to accept it and i am a journalist. i'vejoined the lib dems. i'm very concerned that we don't
1:45 pm
just go off a cliff, willy—nilly, in terms of brexit, because i'm thinking about my children and grandchildren, i hope. i'm waiting for grandchildren. it would be great fun if it was nigel farage, but he'll drink me under the table. hello there. can i'd reduce you to your... how about that! that's amazing. hello, you. are you well? very well. good. i have a theory which is this, actually, i don't think people cared about project fear. i don't think people care that the eurozone is going to boom and that we're going to go off a cliff. i honestly think that it's become an ideology and all they want to say is, we've got our country back without really knowing what that... the ideology is to lie to two dozen countries in europe, to tell them that they are joining an economic club and then it by bit, to take away their democracy and their independence. what, are you single, nigel?
1:46 pm
that's a very good question. a lot of people are asking. i'm not very married at the moment, let's put it like that. you're not very married. no. it's sad that your private life has fallen apart. you've done it for a noble cause. 53, separated, skint, great. why are you skint? 20 years of doing this. could you go to bed with a remainer? could you make her see the light? well, i'm not going to answer that. are you only attracted to brexiteers? how was your day? i enjoyed it. he's taught me a lot. in ten years' time, we're going to have another dinner date and we are going to see if it's a great success that you hope for. and i'm hopeful too because i want things to work. in ten years' time the european union might exist anyway. so it will be a different conversation. i don't think you're right. i'll shake your hand on that. thank you for a lovely lunch.
1:47 pm
no, it was great fun. you can watch the full film on the victoria derbyshire website, bbc.co.uk/victoria, and there'll be another blind date tomorrow. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour but first the headlines on bbc news: jeremy corbyn struggles to say how much labour's promise of free childcare for all two to four year olds would cost. theresa may says with brexit negotiations due to start days after the election, only she is prepared to lead britain out of the eu. the snp launch their manifesto — calling for higher public spending in the business news, british airways says it is now operating a full schedule after an it failure led it to cancel thousands of flights over the bank holiday weekend.
1:48 pm
it comes as ba counts the cost of the disruption — with some estimates suggesting compensation and lost business could cost the airline £150 million. and it may only be a temporary blip, but this is what shares are doing this afternoon — their first chance to react here in the uk. ba's 0wner — international airlines group — saw shares fall sharply in madrid yesterday. and staying with airlines, ryanair says prices will fall another 5% this year as it battles tough competition and a weak pound. it comes as the firm reported record profits of over 1.3 billion euros. budget airline ryanair has reported its latest set of results. it is europe's biggest airline if you count passenger numbers — and says profits are up a 6% jump for the full year
1:49 pm
to 1.3 billion euros. the irish airline said prices would fall by between 5% and 7% this year, due to the weakness of the pound. it's also been cutting costs. but — as critics of ba's troubles have pointed out — cut costs in the wrong area and it could be costly. neil sorahan is ryanair‘s chief financial officer and told us ryanair isn't vulnerable to the same problems as british airways when it comes to it systems. i think it is very unlikely we would get involved in such a kind of scenario. we have our core data over a number of different data centres, so if one goes down we would effectively manage from another centre. disaster recovery is something we spend a lot of time practising on and we are comfortable with the systems we have. having spent a huge amount of time and effort in investing in ryanair labs, we have a robust website and
1:50 pm
reservation system. we are co mforta ble reservation system. we are comfortable we wouldn't have those kind of issues. we invest a lot of time and effort in that. in the worst—case scenario, if things were to fall over, our systems are less complex than the likes of ba and delta. we are confident we could manage it very easily ourselves within the business. that was neil soharan, rya nair‘s chief financial officer. joining me now is aviation analyst john strickland ofjls consulting. the market for ryanair from last year has been incredibly difficult. challenges of security threats since the brexit vote, currency changes, massive volatility between the pound at the euro. strikes and all sorts of things. the fact ryanair has filled its place to a greater extent is no mean achievement. the marketers challenging. a lot of consumer uncertainty not least in
1:51 pm
the uk where the cost of travelling abroad has gone up. the pound is buying less in terms of euros and dollars. ryanair needs to offer a price competitive tickets to get people on board, but the earn less once it is converted into the home currency. they are a company which talk about being loaned factor active and revenue passive. they wa nt active and revenue passive. they want to fill planes up at any price. they will try to increase profit by selling people things on board and elsewhere. without a meaningful cap on social ca re costs, without a meaningful cap on social care costs, proposed reforms to the funding of social care could create a huge disparity of winners and losers between regions according to
1:52 pm
analysis. the mutual insurer has done some number crunching on allowing families to protect £100,000 of assets including the value of their home. that's one of the provisions in the reforms proposed by the conservatives. the analysis suggests that people living in lower house price areas to gain from the changes. we have done an analysis that looks at the average cost of staying in residential care. in some areas, it is between 700 and £800 per week. the average duration of staying in residential care as well which can be two or three yea rs. well which can be two or three years. in some families, the husband and wife need care and this can amount to considerable cost. in some cases, it is up to 50% of the value of your home could be taken up in paying the cost of care. the big
1:53 pm
chains we have seen in the conservative manifesto is a commitment to allow you to protect up commitment to allow you to protect up to £100,000 of their assets, but this includes the value of your home. are some people that have assets below that level, they won't have to pay anything towards their care, but for others that have assets above this level they could pay considerable amounts up to 150,000 or 170,000 if both need care before this cup of kicks in. that is where we have seen that it does create some huge regional variations because it is the cost of your home thatis because it is the cost of your home that is being taken into account. does not mean people living in lower house price areas benefit and people living in higher house price areas will tend to pay more, but that matches roughly speaking that better off people are contributing more, doesn't it? in terms of the
1:54 pm
variation, we have seen that the people who will have to contribute more will be people in the south of england, london, the southeastern east of england. typically an average house price in the east of england would be something like 300,000. and your care costs could be 150,000. so you would be paying back before the 100,000 kick zone. in other regions, in the north of england house prices are lower, 128,000, and that means they will pay less towards their care before that cup of kicks in. and i think this shows us that where you live is becoming a lottery. the value now being put under house in terms of what you will pay can become a bit ofa what you will pay can become a bit of a regional lottery. i think what we're looking at is without a
1:55 pm
meaningful cap being put in place, it could mean that for some people, they might have a house with some value in it, but they won't know how much they will be paying towards their care before the cut—off kick zone. thank you. is a quick look at the markets. investors perhaps wondering about the hefty compensation bill after the hefty compensation bill after the bank holiday disruption. that's all the business news. thank you very much. the afternoon is looking pretty good over most of the uk. we have had the storms in the uk. we have had the storms in the last few days. no storms
1:56 pm

single figures in the north. tomorrow, and i stay on the way. it might stay cloudy in the morning in the south and south—west, misty and murky around the course. a beautiful day on balance. temperatures in the south—east traditionally around about 19 for this time of year. not much in the way of change for glasgow tomorrow. any plans, it is looking good. a change towards the end of the week, this surge will come in our direction from iceland. you can see the motion of wind coming from the south, so it will waft u p coming from the south, so it will waft up some warm air from france, so temperatures will be rising. at least temporarily. that pesky front of the northwest will bring fresh atla ntic of the northwest will bring fresh atlantic conditions to northern
