labour accuse the conservatives of being in chaos over their tax plans after cabinet ministers suggest income tax won't rise. but that's not a pledge made in the conservative manifesto, and theresa may wouldn't commit to it. our position hasn't changed. it's the conservative party that always has been and always will be, a low—tax party. one minister says they're going to give no more tax rises, indeed possible tax reductions for the very wealthiest, they they can't answer questions about tax rises for the rest of the population. ariana grande visits fans injured in last month's bomb attack, ahead of tomorrow's charity concert in aid of victims and their families. more violence in kabul. at least seven are dead and 100 injured after suicide bombers target a funeral attended by afg hanistan‘s deputy leader. ronaldo's coming in and he's got there again! and ronaldo strikes twice to help real madrid to the champions league trophy.

good evening. jeremy corbyn has accused the conservatives of being in "complete chaos" over their tax policy. it comes after theresa may failed to back comments made by cabinet colleagues that there would be no income tax rises under a conservative government. the manifesto makes no commitment towards income tax but both the defence secretary, sir michael fallon, and the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, said the tax would not rise if the tories won the election. with more, our political correspondent iain watson. senior conservatives, including the defence secretary and foreign secretary, have been sending out a strong

message to their core voters. they suggest that income tax would not rise if they were elected. the conservative manifesto does not reflect that. our position on tax has not changed. we have set it out in the manifesto. what people will know when they've vote on thursday, it is the conservative party who always has and is a low tax party. it is our intention to reduce taxes for ordinary working families. what does the conservative manifesto say on tax? at the last election david cameron promised not to increase income tax, national insurance or vat. in the 2017 manifesto, only the pledge on vat remains. if theresa may is returned to downing street, she has the prospect of tough brexit talks but she is not

boxing on tax. 0ur colleagues are talking about tax today because they wa nt to talking about tax today because they want to refocus attention in this campaign on what would happen if a labour chancellor moves into number 11. how are you doing? all right? i am now i have met you. labour says the policy of making the better off and big businesses pay more is popular and the conservatives lack clarity. there is chaos going on at the top of the government. what labour is offering is no tax rises or insurance rises or vat rises. —— national insurance rises for 95% of the population. an increase in corporation tax and some other tax increases at the top end to pay for social care. the lib dems said he would increase... it might be an attempt to shift attention from the dementia

tax which has cost theresa may credibility but by moving onto taxation they are not helping themselves because they have an very arrogant and refused to spell out which taxes they would raise. theresa may is still ahead on the balsa probably isn't looking for divine intervention. tonight she was visiting a hindu temple in london. but living there for gas and attacks turns out to be a mixed blessing. iain watsonjoins me now. so are we any clearer on the tory tax plans? first the conservatives wanted to move their gender and attacks from social care where they are moral vulnerable but they also wanted to offer reassurance to core conservative voters that their instincts on tax have not changed but the execution has been messy. michael fallon defence secretary has said absolutely no increases on income tax and borisjohnson said no plans to increase income tax and

theresa may said no change in the ma nifesto, theresa may said no change in the manifesto, which gets no such commitment, and it doesn't say anything on that topic. although the execution has been messy it has also given the opportunity further opposition parties to say it is not only chaotic but they also smell blood because tomorrow the shadow chancellor has come to see that labour hopes to reduce vat, i understand, putting more pressure on conservatives. it shows the opposition are a bit more co mforta ble opposition are a bit more comfortable talking about tax. the deputy leader of afghanistan, abdullah abdullah, has survived a bomb attack at a funeral in the capital kabul. at least seven people were killed and over 100 injured in the explosions. the funeral was taking place of the son of a prominent politician. he was killed yesterday during clashes between demonstrators and police. from kabul, secunder kermani sent this report, which contains images which you may find distressing. bloodshed in a graveyard. three suicide bombers targeted mourners at this cemetery

as they were burying a man shot by police yesterday during a protest against the growing violence in kabul. survivors described the carnage they had witnessed. translation: there were explosions everywhere and i saw my hands and face were burning. there were parts of human bodies lying all around me. after that i had to get to hospital. this is the third time in four days that dead and injured afghans have been brought to emergency hospitals across the city. kabul used to be one of the most secure places in the country. now it seems it is one of the most dangerous. relatives gathered outside the hospital, anxious for news of their loved ones. this man was describing to us how the suicide bombers blew themselves up one after another when suddenly gunfire rang out. gunshots.

it turned out to be warning shots from the police but it's a measure of how tense and the city is. kabul is still reeling from the aftermath of the huge blast on wednesday which killed over 90 people. many residents are furious with the authorities for not providing better security. one of the leaders of the unity government was at the funeral today. i asked him why so many attacks seemed to be succeeding. i would say that we will raise this issue very seriously within our own system. but you are not considering your own position and resigning? if that would have been the solution, that would have been the first thing i would have resorted to. there is real anger here at the rising tide of violence but it seems no one, not the government and not the international community, knows how to stop it. dozens of civilians are reported to have been killed in the iraqi city of mosul. they were among those fleeing an area controlled by the islamic state group. one american aid worker in the district claims to have witnessed is fighters shooting people trying to escape.

the battle by the military to retake the city has been ongoing for months. ariana grande, the singer whose concert was the target of the manchester bomb, has visited injured fans in hospital. tomorrow she'll be joined by other stars of the music world, in a charity concert in aid of victims and their families. from manchester, philip norton reports. helping to mend broken hearts and shattered lives. pop star ariana grande visiting young fans who were injured in the suicide bomb attack at her concert less than two weeks ago. she posted a photo of her visit to royal manchester children's hospital on instagram with a simple heart. among those she visited, eight—year—old fan lily harrison. she suffered spinal injuries in the blast at manchester arena. our room was the last room on the ward of the corridor. how she was working her way up it. we were the last ones to be seen. i think i was probably just as nervous as lily.

her hands were shaking. she said, i think i might need to go to the toilet. i don't know what to do. i'm really nervous. and then, yeah, shejust came skipping onto our ward. she was brilliant. there's been an outpouring of love for the 22 victims who died in the blast last month. ariana grande has returned to the uk for a benefit concert in manchester tomorrow night and many of those injured, including lily, are hoping to be there. lily sort of expressed a wish to go. we didn't want to force her. we said, if you want to go, we'll make sure you've got tickets. if we get to the venue, or are on the way to the venue, and you say you don't want to go, we're more than happy to bring you home. it's whatever she wants. proceeds from the concert will go towards that we love manchester emergency fund, set up by manchester city council and the british red cross to support grieving families and victims of the bombing. preparations are now well under way. a huge stage and tight security is in place.

an effort that would normally take months of planning being completed within days. this is where the eyes of the world will be focused tomorrow night. millions of people will watch as ariana grande isjoined on stage by the likes of coldplay, take that and katy perry. this concert will be broadcast to more than 50 countries around the world. a night of unity, remembrance and a shared love of music. it's been called a once—in—a—lifetime exhibition — raphael: the drawings has opened at the ashmolean museum in oxford, bringing together 120 rarely seen works from collections around the world. the aim is to shine a new light on the renaissance master, whose reputation was more for precision than emotion. 0ur arts editor will gompertz has been to take a look. the transfiguraion by raphael, who died when only 37 years old, this being his last masterpiece,

confirmation of a supreme talent with a reputation for clarity and control. but that is superficial — beneath the surface lies another raphael, a surprisingly experimental artist who could draw with the freedom and expressiveness of a jazz musician. what we see here is he's moving away from the kinds of traditions that he's inherited, so he's trying to introduce this very traditional image of the madonna and child with a real tenderness, a real human sympathy and naturalism, and it's that element of human sympathy that makes raphael different, that shows us where he's going, and it's through drawing that he can explore this kind of expressiveness. this is an amazing drawing, it shows raphael in an absolute burst of brainstorming creativity, madly drawing with the pen. it's hugely adventurous, hugely febrile. it's like a volcano, there's all this energy

in the drawing going on. he is chasing his thoughts on paper really, really fast. it's messy. it's very messy! with these drawings of raphael's, do we meet a different artist to the one we maybe think we know from the paintings, somebody who is much more emotional, much more experimental? i think that's absolutely right. he's very, very expressive in these drawings, and often very adventurous in the way that he is using drawing as a way of conveying emotion. and here we really do see him exploring quite profound emotions in the drawings and creating forms that are moving, that are deeply moving. when i saw these drawings coming out of their crates, as they arrived for the exhibition installation, you know, i was moved to tears at times, and that's the magic of the drawing. raphael gave this picture to his contemporary, the german artist albrecht durer, to show he too could draw like a master — an assertion visitors to this exhibition are unlikely to contest.

will gompertz, bbc news. for all the sport, let's go to the bbc sport centre. real madrid have lifted the european cup for a record extending 12th time following a 4—1 victory overjuventus in cardiff tonight. cristiano ronaldo scored twice as the welsh capital hosted the champions league final for the first time. 0lly foster reports. cardiff has staged some of the great sporting occasions. fa cup finals, a rugby world cup final, tens of thousands more fans than tickets packed the city today, even before the manchester bombing this was a lwa ys the manchester bombing this was always good to be a major security operation. but the extra patience required was more than worth it for a seat at the match of the season. the team sheet tonight reads like a who's who of the great lawyers in european football. ronaldo, who's who of the great lawyers in europeanfootball. ronaldo, higuain.
