will cost... it will obviously it will cost... it will obviously cost a lot to do so... i presume you have the figures? i will give you the figure in a moment. you do not know it? you are logging into your ipad. you're announcing a major policy and if you do not know how much it will cost. it featured on bbc but many viewers felt that too much was being made of a memory lapse... another few recorded her thoughts

for us on video. on tuesday, we had the perfect illustration of the differential treatment of labour and the conservatives. headline news on all the broadcast media because jeremy corbyn forgot her figure. compare that to the treatment of philip hammond, chancellor of the exchequer, who on the today programme got his figures out by £20 billion. it might have been balanced if they mention that labour had a fully costed manifesto whereas the tories manifesto was totally uncosted. another election controversy followed on wednesday after a debate featuring representatives of the seven main parties, including amber rudd and jeremy corbyn. i was thinking how chaotic it would be if they all got

together... it felt by some viewers that it fell into chaos at times. one told us she found debates like that... more contentious the reaction of the audience put together by the polling company who were commissioned by the bbc. have you seen people sleeping around our stations... cheering and applause. have you seen the level... jeremy corbyn can you respond to that point... i am proud to lead

this party and i was a late did. —— elect did. when amber rudd spoke, the audience responded in a less enthusiastic way. we have made it clear decision to make sure that we protect the poorest in our society. you have not. the pensioners will be protected. judge us on our record... laughter. the following morning, the daily mailfront page laughter. the following morning, the daily mail front page screamed of by yes and the foreign secretary called the audience the most left—wing he had ever seen. it was a yammering cacophony of views, many of them left wing. even by the bbc standards, he would agree the

audience was notably to the left of many people in this country. what did newswatch view is think? one joins me. i was actually shocked by the audience reaction i thought the jeering and sharing of some people but the jeering of others was unacceptable. it seemed to be that the audience was, at least 80%, left of centre in its buyers and i thought that was completely unrepresentative of how the country votes. you raise the issue of whether the audience was unbalanced. the company said this earlier in the week. the reality was, the audience was scrupulously put together, select it and verified and i think a

politician's clapometer is not the best way tojudge politician's clapometer is not the best way to judge how the voting public is, to open the bonnet and understand how the audience was put together. it is like constructing a giant 3—d jigsaw. you together. it is like constructing a giant 3—djigsaw. you have to together. it is like constructing a giant 3—d jigsaw. you have to look how representative is... making sure it isa how representative is... making sure it is a conservative of the 2015 result, the current voting tensions, the people who voted remain, until you it absolutely was. you raise concerns about the panellists. what was your concern concerns about the panellists. what was your concern about the way they came across and the way the debate worked? i do not understand why there were seven speakers and a number of them are from very small parties. if you look at the way people voted, one got .6% of the vote in 2015 or stop they all got an

awful lot of air time and i do not know whether the audience... they say everyone was represented, was the conservative audience of a0 times... ijust do not believe the audience was representative of the country. you also spoke about the sense that five leaders were essentially ganging up on amber rudd stop what could or should the bbc have done differently? it was very difficult. it is send it into chaos. it was shouting match. i thought amber rudd actually did very well, under a lot of aggression. i think that the presenter should have stopped some of these shouting. i think perhaps the bbc should have thought about the format. seven

speakers is too much. perhaps two presenters. ground rules at the beginning about not making personal attacks and not shouting at people. basically it was a complete turnoff. i know a number of people who turned off the tv. at think it put most people off politics. we asked the bbc to come and talk about the concerns. no one is bbc to come and talk about the concerns. no one is available at we do have a statement... —— but. that is what the bbc have had to say. a final word to you. i do not

think that is correct. i do not think... i think the militant side of the audience hijacked the programme. i think it is happening more and more and i think if they were. . . more and more and i think if they were... if there was more central right wing viewers perhaps they did not want to speak up and be subjected to a barrage of abuse. thank you very much. finally, the aftermath of last week ‘s bomb attack in manchester continues to attract headlines. cctv footage of salman abedi salman abedi heralded asa salman abedi salman abedi heralded as a feature. contact a mac a young man ina as a feature. contact a mac a young man in a hooded top, on his own on a sunday morning shop. in this footage obtained by the bbc, he looks

relaxed as he is captured on cctv browsing the shelves. he spent a pounds 7a and bought armaments, tuna, scouring pads and air freshener. staff in the shop believe this was salman abedi salman abedi. some viewers said they found this for you we stick and lacking in the news value. one recorded her thoughts on camera.|j news value. one recorded her thoughts on camera. i simply could not understand why that was considered to be major news and to warrant the main spot. of course, such a great event needed extensive coverage but the coverage it should have been in use and not sensationalism. so many other things happened that week which were not mentioned or received a very scant coverage, mentioned or received a very scant coverage, to mentioned or received a very scant coverage, to name mentioned or received a very scant coverage, to name one, 26 people we re coverage, to name one, 26 people were killed on a bus in egypt and yet it was hardly mentioned. i felt

really sad that taxpayers money is used to fund public broadcasting that sometimes sinks to the level of tabloid journalism. thank you for all your comments this week. if you wa nt to all your comments this week. if you want to send us your opinion, call us on want to send us your opinion, call us on the telephone number on the screen. you can also e—mail us. post your comments on twitter and have a look at how website. —— our website. we are off air next week in the aftermath of the general election that in a fortnight we will be looking back at the campaign coverage. hello. we'll do the easy bit first and then i'll give you the forecast, which is probably the bit you're after, anyway. a mixture of sunny spells and showers.

friday was notjust as straightforward. you'll see why go back to friday in a moment. it started well enough, then it started to look more threatening. that is probably because many of you were getting tied up with the weather front, which had fresher air on its western flank, but ahead of it, warm, moist, muggy air, which turned into thunderstorms in parts of east anglia and the south—east, which is why some of you and your day looking more like that. yes, there were some localised flooding, due to be heavy downpours. and that muggy air is still there to be had, as we start saturday across this south—eastern quarter. the remnants of the old weather front still producing some rain across north—eastern parts of england. and it's out through the west that we see the finest conditions of the day. one or two showers to start the day across the western—facing coasts and hills. and they're there, too, through the western side of scotland. but it is out towards the east that we saw that overhang of cloud, the remnants of friday's weather, if you like. still enough about the cloud to create murky conditions east

of the pennines and on the eastern side of scotland, too. let's get you on through the day, and see how things will shape up. i know there are a lot of shows and weddings planned for tomorrow. as we get through the day, the bulk of the showers will be found across central and northern parts of scotland, through, northern ireland, too, and fewer showers, but still there to be had, across the western side of england and wales. that murk will just drift up the eastern shores and eventually, i think, the eastern side of england will improve as the bulk of that cloud and showery rain comes to lie there across the eastern side of scotland. so that's saturday. on into sunday, and i think it will be a quiet start for central and eastern parts, again. later on, i think we will see more showery rain in the south—west and into parts of wales, perhaps. and a slightly fresher feel through the day. this is monday. look at this. not one, two, but three areas of low pressure.

this being the real driver of the weather. they could bring 50 millimetres of rain to you. so watch out for that dry start. it won't last like that across england and wales. in some of the gusts of wind easily in excess of 50 miles an hour. here we are as far ahead as tuesday. and a slightly simplified area of low pressure still providing a really showery regime across all parts of the british isles. and a coolerfeel, too, given that the wind is somewhere between the west and the north—west. this is bbc news. i'm duncan golestani. our top stories: brexit, nuclear weapons and the future of social care. voters quiz theresa may and jeremy corbyn ahead of the uk election. the european union and china team up to say they'll keep the paris climate agreement alive, whatever president trump does. california has vowed to ignore president trump. it sees its future in developing clean energy. and is set to have a new prime

minister, the openly gay son of an indian immigrant. —— ireland is set. —— ireland is set.
