9:04 am
i want to also show you this tweet piece was ancient history and she that's been posted by the sun's only did it five or six hours ago. political editor, tom newton dunn. it shows the front cover there's been a blizzard of election of the london based newspaper news in the last couple of hours. let's bring you up to date, firstly, thejewish chronicle. they've written an article addressed to, in their words, all "non—jews". the paper claim that the "vast ian austin, an astonishing interview majority" of all british jews believe labour party leader on the today programme. he has been jeremy corbyn to be an anti—semite. tom newton dunn calls a labour party man all of his adult it a "stark read". life and was a councillor in his if we take a closer look, the article goes on to say hometown in dudley in the west that the "the near total inaction midlands in his 20s and went on to a ofjeremy corbyn and the rest of the labour leadership in dealing labour party official and then he with anti—semitism in the party has both emboldened them worked as a special adviser to gordon brown when he was chancellor and then became a labour mp for and encouraged other. " dudley then went to work for gordon no doubt there will be much reaction brown as well when gordon brown was to this article throughout the day. as promised, prime minister. yes, he's had his differences with jeremy corbyn our reporterjoe tidyjoins me now. prime minister. yes, he's had his differences withjeremy corbyn and gave up differences withjeremy corbyn and gave up as an during the run—up to the election, differences withjeremy corbyn and gave up as an independent and he is from ajewish he'll be looking in detail at how gave up as an independent and he is from a jewish family where he digital and social media platforms are being used as part laughed relatives to the nazis and of political campaigns. has been disgusted byjeremy some interesting research around today on how the social media battle corbyn‘s handling of the allegations is playing out so far in terms of of anti—semitism around the labour
9:05 am
party sincejeremy who is winning it. always difficult of anti—semitism around the labour party since jeremy corbyn has of anti—semitism around the labour party sincejeremy corbyn has been leader, but it's still incredible to to decide who is winning the battle on social media, the battle for hear somebody like mr austin says lights, shares and tweets, but we have some research from the school suggesting that people vote conservative in the general of journalism at election. take a look at this. i'm have some research from the school ofjournalism at cardiff university, an article in the conversation which gives us some fresh statistics. we not a tory. this isn't where i want to be. but ijust think, i wouldn't can tell the general perspective, the general view from him is that labour are winning at the moment in terms of the last week, if you look at the amount of love that they are say borisjohnson is be unfit to be getting on social media, if you prime minister in the way i would like. and if you look at the tweet, say it about jeremy corbyn. i think the country has a big choice to make very interesting, he has worked at andl the top 20 tweets from party leaders the country has a big choice to make and i thinkjeremy corbyn is unfit to lead it. lets talk about the and also from official accounts. of economy and labour talking about those, 16 are from labour, ones like spending. £150 billion if they are this — you know what the elites are elected and that is a phenomenal most afraid of, paying their taxes, amount of money and the thatis most afraid of, paying their taxes, that is from jeremy corbyn. this is conservatives call it fantasy economics. how would you go about spending that amount of money over the course of a parliament? good the third most liked, again another sta b question. it's the equivalent of you the third most liked, again another stab at the ridge, and then they number eight the most liked is from 01’ me question. it's the equivalent of you or me deciding that we've saved up
9:06 am
enough to have some sort of extension at home but it doesn't the snp, how many times do we say mean it will happen tomorrow even if this? we do not believe him. the snp the money is in the bank and there isa the money is in the bank and there is a political row in terms of the had number 15, another tweet from labour promises about money in the nicola sturgeon, saying outrageous bank because it would require borrowing. labour say it would be ok and unacceptable to be excluded from the debates. of the top 20, he because it will turbo—charge the economy and transform, in worked out that 16 from labour, two particular, the north of england so jeremy corbyn and john mcdonnell are from the snp, one from the brexit in liverpool today and mr mcdonnell party and one from the conservatives. he says that despite isa sign in liverpool today and mr mcdonnell is a sign of the city and he will be the focus on video, it is short, making these promises for billions clear, strident messages that are of pounds of extra money. lorry cutting through. personality is key, loads, skip loads of extra money by personal accounts are performing far any modern precedent. the better than anonymous party accounts. you have to take all of conservatives argue it is fantasy these with a big pinch of salt, of economics but it's striking that they are not exactly being austere course, because you can't vote with as far as public spending is a hashtag, there are a lot of people who are armchair warriors, but will it actually translate to the ballot concerned either. all of those years under david cameron where austerity booth? we saw in 2017 that the was if not a badge of honour but labour party had more interaction online, they only spent a quarter of what the conservatives did on social
9:07 am
media, but they didn't get the certainly something the conservatives said was absolutely majority. it will be interesting to necessary in order to write to the see how that research changes, if it economy. the argument now is that the economy is in a better place changes. let's talk also about although there is vast uncertainty e—mail messaging in his campaign. about what will happen with brexit this is something we barely ever and the consequences of that. let's touch on, but it is really hear from the chief secretary to the important, because tweets and treasury. the chancellor will set facebook posts is one thing, but when you get an e—mail in your inbox, it is very personal, and we are saying that personal touch a out the approach for the future and lot. so for example the conservative e—mails are written, presumably, it ican out the approach for the future and i can say it's right to distinguish says, by boris johnson, between day—to—day spending where e—mails are written, presumably, it says, by borisjohnson, signed by it's absolutely right where we him as well, here we go, and the should be prudent. and when it comes to investing in things like infrastructure for the long—term, language interesting. it is what you would expect from boris johnson, recently we have spent far too long going nowhere, spinning round and a that can raise productivity and the growth rate and raise people hamster wheel of doom, so his standards of living, that is something the chancellor has been personal writing that we are clear about. let's talk about the familiar with. they are asking for donations. they don't ask for liberal democrats and green party donations. they don't ask for donations and adverts, just in the e—mails. donations and adverts, just in the e-mails. what strikes me about that, simple sentences, lots of punctuation, very punchy, exactly packed. how effective do you think what you are talking about, simple,
9:08 am
straightforward, quite blunt messages. absolutely, and similar the pact can be in the upcoming election? they're willing to give it with the lib dems, we have seen ago election? they're willing to give it a go but you're right about being e—mails being written by their sceptical about being effective. leader, jo swinson, or at least saying they are from her, and interestingly they are not asking for money, they are asking for shares on facebook and twitter. it is very clear from the e—mails that brexit is never far away in this and we are getting that it is important to the parties, how much traction they are getting online. and labour, you have a liberal democrats and the well, there are interesting, not too welsh nationalists and the green much from jeremy corbyn, i haven't party getting together in about 60 seats. 49 in england and wales where been receiving those e—mails, there each of them will only put forward are been receiving those e—mails, there one candidate and it will be the one a re lots of been receiving those e—mails, there are lots of different mailing lists, i haven't seen many, it is more team has the best chance of winning in that seat they say they want as many remain orientated mps and they point labour, but we are seeing these from to the brecon and radnorshire by—election in august which had been momentum, asking for people to film a conservative seat which the selfies and post them online. they liberal democrats won. the challenge think the whole election can be won for them as a trio is that often in with the selfie, that is their main particular seats one of them might be relatively strong but the other thing. last night they held one of these mass conference calls, ken two are often relatively weak, so loach was on, telling people how to combining them might help arrive at record a selfie. i am not sure that a bigger number, but won't would definitely be his expertise,
9:09 am
necessarily make a decisive but offering his advise anyway! difference but in their view, it's fascinating stuff, keeping us up to worth a go. here is the president of date with the digital election the liberal democrats talking about it. john mcdonnell will announce an campaign. now, let's just step away irreversible shift in power and from politics for a moment. investment from london to our they're two of hollywood's regions and we will be setting up biggest stars, butjennifer aniston and reese witherspoon haven't worked together since they appeared on friends regional institutions, local, regional institutions, local, regional government offices and more than 20 years ago. now, they're swapping central perk bringing funding out of white also for the set of a breakfast tv news programme in the morning show. every region has a base to drive my colleague naga munchetty forward an industrial strategy and spatial planning and advise the went to meet them. regional development banks, but that will also be encapsulated in an cue her. good morning. investment package and a national transformation fund made up of a i am bringing you some green transformation fund which will sad and upsetting news and while i don't know the details fund a lot of the work i am doing in of the allegations... she's throwing me under the bus. my department on the green ..mitch kessler, my co—host and partner industrial revolution. that is £250 of 15 years, was fired today. billion over ten years and the who called who about second element of the transformation the morning show? fund isa second element of the transformation fund is a social transformation we can't remember. fund, 150 billion over five years to we loved the idea of exploring it upgrade everything from schools, all the way through to hospitals. and just being able to do something together, which we'd been trying upgrade everything from schools, all the way through to hospitalsm

are selling their homes because they place. —— plaid cymru. are selling their homes because they are being pushed to, it is the only medicine that works, and we are let's talk now pleading to the secretary of state to intervene and sort this mess out, to molly scott—cato, because these are the most vulnerable people in society. you have you decided which part of the said that the children are the evidence that this works in terms of treating their condition, epilepsy is the main condition that you work with in yourcampaign. is the main condition that you work with in your campaign. do you understand, to some extent, the party will fight in the constituencies and in the ones you have the pact in? we will be announcing the seats at ten o'clock, reticence of the medical profession, but the purpose of the alliance is of the nhs around the use of very much around the fact that although the majority of people in medicinal cannabis? absolutely, we britain want to stay in the eu, so understand that they need evidence far there's only been a handful of mps in parliament trying to stop to make prescribing decisions. we brexit. we hope to increase that number, so if people want to stop understand that. but these are the brexit they can get behind the most severe cases in the uk, these remaining candidates and in that way make sure we have plenty of stop children have tried every other brexit mps in the next parliament. drug, these are on unlicensed, toxic make sure we have plenty of stop brexit mps in the next parliamentlj brexit mps in the next parliament.” guess you will get different people drugs, one has the side—effect in telling you different things and adults of suicidal thoughts. these whether the majority of people want to remain or whether they are children have exhausted everything, and in some cases they have life
9:21 am
frustrated with the process. and limiting conditions. we hear clinicians saying they are worried wa nted frustrated with the process. and wanted to go ahead with brexit. over about the impact on developing the past year the overwhelming brains, but these children, you know, they might not have long, it majority of politicians and people think it's a mistake but because of the way the party system works, the is about giving them quality of life. so you don't know if there are dominant parties at westminster are not trying to stop brexit so we need any side effects from the use of to make sure use the election to medicinal cannabis, but you are make sure everybody who supports making the point that if these remain who has not had a voice in children have life limiting parliament, in the last parliament, conditions, they want to have a pain—free life for the time that can have that strong voice in the next parliament and that is the they have. evidence does exist from purpose of the pact but it's also to around the world, when the law changed on the 1st of november, it make sure the parliament reflects how people who are voting because we was based on the decision made by have a crazy first past the post dame sally davies, who looked at system which means it is evidence from across the world, a overwhelmingly dominated by two wealth of evidence and she said, parties when people in the country yes, there is clear evidence of the would like to see more variety and would like to see more variety and efficacy of medical cannabis and would like to see more variety and would like to see parties cooperating, so we are a cooperation certain conditions, one of which was that people are calling for an it's intractable epilepsy. thank you very a vision of new positives where we much for coming to talk to us. work together so it has a positive throughout the election campaign, new politics, more stop brexit bbc news will be looking closely voices at westminster and better at the places where the election representation for smaller parties, could be won and lost, which they deserve based on visiting ten parts of the uk where seats will be closely contested. supporting the country. you say you
9:22 am
are not supporting the country. you say you today we're in leeds a re not revealed supporting the country. you say you are not revealed until later this to find out the questions morning exactly who is standing and issues voters want to discuss. where, but can we take it will be ben thompson is looking at the important issues you as a green candidate in stroud? for business during this election campaign. my you as a green candidate in stroud? my lips are sealed. there have been yeah, welcome to leeds, the glorious corn exchange here, no leaks from the green party is over but you only have a few minutes once a thriving part of the community trading corn, to wait. let's say hypothetically it built 150 years ago, but now, as you might be able to see, is. will you have lib dems party full of more independent shops, and it's businesses like this up and down the country that want some workers there, out and helping you answers as far as the election is concerned. campaign, is that how this would work? i think are really important thing to recognise is that as parties we have different policy platforms and were not saying we are standing for the same thing in this the politicians that election so are not expecting party are all vying for our vote, workers to work for other parties. what can they tell people in places like this that would convince them but what we will do is strategically that they are the ones to vote for? use resources so the greens will well, andrew run the local business focus on seats where they are the here, give us a sense of what it is that you want to hear main remain candidate and the lib from the politicians, dems will focus on seats where they because there are so many issues facing business. are the remain candidate. so it's a look, for us, the sort of stagnation that we've all experienced for the last sort of three years strategic alliance, recognising that is the way politics should work and and beyond is really the thing a normal democracy have lots of that we need to move on from. different parties and they stand and we need confidence that's going to allow us to make work separately during the election decisions and plan and grow. but come together after the election i think that, you know,
9:23 am
the investment from a capital and we are trying to move to a perspective, but also system like that but what we need is from a headcount perspective, i think that businesses just, afair you know, we've been stagnating system like that but what we need is a fair voting system. so a strategic because we can't move forward. alliance are not necessarily a pooling of resources. 0bviously and that stagnation has meant that lots of big decisions have been put off, particularly if we talk about infrastructure spending. these impacts can work well and it trains, for example, in this part of the world, a real issue, people getting around. do you expect that that money suddenly then is unlocked worked with the liberal democrat when we get to december 13th? that it's winning from the conservatives who held the seat i think that the reality is that previously. if you have that's probably unlikely. constituencies where one of the i think that what we need to see is... parties, give yourself for the i think that trust and confidence greens or the lib dems or plaid has been has been really eroded. cymru have had a really strong you know, we can debate showing that the other two parties whether or not we think hs2 are relatively weak, do you think is the right decision for the north, should it come here? that that will be enough, coming but i think hs3, where you've got the network across sort of, you know, the connection around liverpool, manchester, leeds, hull, sheffield, together, to make a difference? it's i think that that's absolutely not just about the numbers needed, because there's together, to make a difference? it's notjust about the numbers it is a sense of inequality. about communicating to people who and i think we need to feel wa nt to about communicating to people who want to remain in the eu... but it is about the numbers ultimately to that that's changing. win the seat. politics is about two things, it's about numbers and momentum. we hope that the unite for and skills is a big issue. i get a sense from talking to people here that there's that remain will build more candidates so idea of a brain drain, the idea that people feel they've got to move to london if they're
9:24 am
that those in the public you want to going to get the job that they want. stay in the european union can get and that's absolutely not the case, behind the unite for remain and you want people to stay candidates to have a large number of strong voices trying to stop in places like leeds. and i think that when you look parliament —— brexit in the next at the talent that's around, parliament. that is where we will you know, the north has got 20 break the logjam at westminster. of the top 20 universities globally. thank you very much. and we'll be and i think that, you know, the historical mindset working finding out more about that pact within recruitment for the last 20, 30 years is that you've got to go where the opportunity is. later this morning. and historically, that's been london. more than a thousand people i think, particularly within tech, that's not the case any more, most certainly, and as technology becomes comes more to the fore around innovation, we don't need to be travelling, were forced to evacuate a london you know, the sort of distances theatre on wednesday evening that we are, but we've still got ot after part of the ceiling collapsed during a show. to see that investment emergency services were called in infrastructure that means to the piccadilly theatre that people don't feel in the west end, which was packed like they need to move. for a performance of arthur miller's play death of a salesman. yeah, it's good to talk to you. five people were treated in hospitalfor minor injuries. businesses really just want a few answers right now. wendell pierce, who we've talked about that stars as willy loman, spoke to the crowd outside. uncertainty that brexit poses, but we're getting a real sense that i did not mean for it there's so many other issues to go like this. that businesses want answers to. laughter brexit, yes, is one of them. i would like to thank you all for, but be it social care, infrastructure spending, one, safely evacuating. health care, maybe skills, we apologise and we are glad that all of those issues. no—one is hurt and i ask they want some answers
9:25 am
you all to come back and see our production. from the politicians for. we are so honoured that you came tonight. whether they'll get them, of course, we'll find out over the next five 0ne audience member who saw weeks of this election campaign. the roof come down told us, beforehand, the crowd could hear water coming through the ceiling for several minutes. all through the election campaign it's the normal thing, you're we taking a more in—depth look sitting in a theatre, watching a at what the politicians are saying and examining the figures. show and you are very stoic and you labour has promised an "irreversible shift" of power and investment let things happen and we suddenly realised something was happening to working people outside that shouldn't be and clearly things the south—east of england, if they win the election. john mcdonnell will weren't right. a few people started pledge £150 billion for schools, hospitals to panic but i wouldn't say it was a and housing on top of existing spending plans to be paid mass panic, but there was a quick for through borrowing. taking social and green spending together gets you to an average evacuation. a new streaming service figure of £55 billion is launching today, a year in new money. backed by the bbc and itv. that is nearly £5 billion extra a month, britbox will feature comedies, dramas and documentaries, a number that represents more than as well as new programmes. the broadcasters have joined forces to rival the likes double current levels of investment. of netflix and amazon prime. apple's streaming service made its debut last week, let's talk now to our bbc news disney will launch a service in the uk next march. statistician robert cuffe.
9:26 am
always a tricky word, isn't it? huge let's talk about this busy landscape sums of money we are talking about, with emma bully bore —— bullimore. robert, let's talk more about what it would be paying for. two parts, the big question is, can this 30 billion a year over the next five service, britbox, rivalamazon and netflix and so on? that's the big yea rs on 30 billion a year over the next five years on average, any announcement out on social care, council housing question. it's all about long—term gains, to be honest and at the and things like that. we haven't got the details yet, they will probably moment i think consumers are a bit confused as to why they now have to come out to the campaign. we have got more detail on the other part of spend £5.99 to get another service note they think a lot of those the spending, the 25 billion a year over the next ten years on the green programme should be on iplayer, so deal, and part of that is paying for it's a bit confusing, but traditional broadcasters had to do insulation in homes, retrofitting something and had to get in the game homes for poorer families. at a and try to rival amazon and netflix and try to rival amazon and netflix and they had to set up so that hopefully in a few years time they large chunk is loans that people will be a proper rival. you see this will have to pay back to get very much as a platform to get the insulation. it is interest free, and bbc and itv into this market. even they will get money back if their energy bills don't go down, but the though most of the content at the moment is going to be old government may not be spending it, programmes? that's the thing. one of they are lending it. so are the numbers entirely what they seem? not really, because they are not really the big selling point is there will
9:27 am
spending 55 billion a year if about bea the big selling point is there will be a big back catalogue and doctor who episodes, and doctor who fans a third of that, 19 billion, is will have that on dvds or whatever where the government is acting as a and they have one new exclusive middleman, borrowing, lending you money so that you can invest in your programme, but that's not going to own home and then you have to pay it have the same power as apple tv plus back. you wouldn't think of that as government spending per se, they are when they say we have a show with just a middleman, and so in this jennifer aniston, some of the kind of fight between the parties to biggest stars in the world, so get the service in order to see the new say, we are the most generous but sensibly generous, it is worth programme and that's exciting, whereas britbox has not come up with getting into the detail of exactly something like that yet, but give how much they are spending. now, them time, they are working on there is a bit of risk, up to a exclusives and we will see exciting stuff from them but it's really third, after about 19 billion of this is money that might not count getting in the game at the moment. as spending, but people might not do you think we will see a shift to pay back their debt, and there are more original content alongside some interest payments that the of the classics? i think they will government are freeing you from, so they are taking on a little bit of that but we don't know the details have to because people were thing, why do i spend this money when i'm yet. interesting conversation this already spending money on netflix morning about spending these vast and amazon prime. you need a reason sums of money, in practical terms to get in there. when you have it, how you do that, if you are involved you can say i like to catch up on in lots of building projects, gavin and stacey but a lot of those whether it is a project to retrofit homes with insulation, for example, popular programmes already have
9:28 am
streaming deals on netflix or other do you have the workers to streaming deals on netflix or other physically do that? do you, you streaming services, so it's kind of difficult to find a reason to spend know, get these things under way the extra money every month. there's immediately if they are planning a lot of buzz about it in the constraints to get through?m immediately if they are planning industry but amongst consumers constraints to get through? it all depends on uptake and capacity. for people are hesitant and bewildered as to why they need it right now. so the green stuff, yes, does everyone decide to get involved in us? if what will be the measure of initial they do, our debt the consultants success do you think for the bbc and itv with this britbox service? and insulators raring to go? similarly full schools and building 0bviously first of all they want projects, there are capacity loads of subscriptions and eventually, the one that where constraints and they may not be able to deliver. the victoria derbyshire netflix proved itself is to get an emmy nomination to get real cachet show is coming up next, and after and prestige but but the timer that we will keep you right up to date with all the political developments of the day, there have britbox original windsor bafta, that is when they will know they have done something right. -- wins a been so many already this morning in this election campaign, but right now the weather forecast with simon ba fta. done something right. -- wins a bafta. emma bullimore, tv critic king. there. let's check out the weather with matt taylor. not looking too great at the moment through north wales, northern areas there will be sunshine across the uk of england, heavy rainfall so far, today but for some of us thoroughly continuing all day today, likely to wet. there is a met office amber bring localised flooding and some
