greater than the conservatives'. let's talk about the conservatives next. they are talking about crime today and having all—life tariffs for child murderers. the conservatives say it is an important plank of their criminal justice policy. the labor party are talking about animal welfare today, and in particular, boosting the number of rural police officers to deal with an ml —— animal welfare crimes like badger baiting. and the s&p is calling on holyrood to set immigration policy rather than it being done at westminster —— snp stop and a quick word about the word of the week, manifesto. there will bea of the week, manifesto. there will

for the next three and a half weeks, i'm afraid. no, indeed. thank you very much for that, chris. we will speak to you later. an alleged victim ofjeffrey epstein has appealed directly to prince andrew to "come forward" and give a statement to us investigators. the duke is facing renewed calls to tell the authorities about his friendship with epstein, a convicted sex offender. here's our los angeles correspondent, sophie long. this is the lawyer in los angeles representing five of jeffrey epstein‘s alleged victims. with her, a young woman who told reporters crammed into the small room that epstein raped her when she was 15. we were not hidden. it is upsetting to me to think that anyone who was closely associated withjeffrey epstein might argue that they didn't suspect that he might have been sexually abusing children. her attorney urged prince andrew to come to the united states and tell investigators everything

he knows about the behaviour and activities of his former friend, jeffrey epstein. he described in his interview this weekend thatjeffrey epstein‘s home was like a railway station. a lot of people coming in and out. he should have asked, why are these girls here? this is the interview ms allred was referring to. prince andrew responded to the allegations about him with categoric denials of impropriety. you can say categorically that you don't recall meeting virginia roberts, dining with her, dancing with her at tramp, or going on to have sex with her in a bedroom in a house in belgravia. yes, i can absolutely categorically tell you, it never happened. but there are further signs of the damage to prince andrew's reputation. the accountants kpmg have announced they are withdrawing their sponsorship of one of his initiatives, a mentoring

scheme for entrepreneurs. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. hong kong's chief executive, carrie lam, has called on at least 100 pro—democracy protesters who are still occupying the polytechnic university to co—operate and leave the building. there have been violent clashes at the site for three days. our correspondent andrew wood is in hong kong for us, what's the latest? we saw extraordinary pictures of people trying to get out of polytechnic university and escape. at the moment there are about 100 people still holed up there. it's about 2am in the afternoon —— soo—beom in the afternoon, it's been a busy morning at the polytechnic university. young people came out after the chief executive, carrie lam promised that if they are under 18 and they came out and

surrendered, they wouldn't be prosecuted, although their names would be taken. now, they politician went into the building where the seeds was taking place and said conditions were getting worse —— seige, protesters were beginning to run out of water and food and that some people had been injured. but i think is going to be interesting now as the next few days. we have elections, local council elections here on the weekend. in the past, carrie lam has that if violence continues, they could be cancelled. she has repeated the claim in the last 2a hours or so. so the next few days are going to be a bit tense. andrew from hong kong, thank you. andrew from hong kong, thank you. and we will keep you updated on that ongoing story. sir david attenborough has said the world is starting to tackle the threat of plastic waste because people have become much more aware of the dangers it poses to marine life. he was speaking as the bbc‘s natural history unit won an international prize for highlighting the issue.

sir david points to supermarkets promising to reduce plastic packaging, and says that children write to him explaining what they're doing about the problem. prince charles and his wife camilla have been given a greeted by a traditional maori haka on the first day of their visit to new zealand. they were welcomed to auckland's government house by maori elders. charles then inspected the national guard, before going on to hold private audiences with new zealand's political leaders. you are right up—to—date with all the latest news. now sally is here to catch everyone up with the sport. ryan briggs, it really well known phase, everyone will recognise him asa phase, everyone will recognise him as a great footballer from manchester. he never went to a major tournament, but he has a chance now, as managerfor wales, tournament, but he has a chance now, as manager for wales, they tournament, but he has a chance now, as managerfor wales, they are going to try and qualify for next summer's

euros. it sounds pretty simple — all they have to do is beat hungary in cardiff, but wales don't have a great track record in qualification. they've only been to one major championship in the last 60 years. ireland missed out on automatic qualification. they needed to beat denmark to go through, but could only manage a 1—1 draw in dublin. denmark qualify. ireland are in the play—offs. the england head coach, eddiejones, says he's worried about how the saracens scandal will affect his squad ahead of next year's six nations. sarries say they won't contest their record fine and points deduction for breaking premiership rugby's salary cap rules. and somerset have been docked 2a points after being found guilty of preparing a poor pitch for last season's county championship decider against essex. they'll start next season on —12 points with another 12 suspended for the next two years. that's quite a heavy sanction. absolutely. thank you very much. let's take a look at today's papers. the daily mail reports that

a number of businesses are deserting prince andrew over his ties to jeffrey epstein. it also reports that the duke has been accused of using a racial slur, but a buckingham palace spokesperson strenuously denied that the words were ever used. there's also a picture of the latest woman to come forward and claim she was one of epstein's victims. we heard from her on breakfast in the last couple of minutes. the guardian splashes on warnings from nhs leaders that staffing shortages are jeopardising hospital safety. it claims hospital performance figures are causing anxiety in the tory party. there's also a picture of hong kong protests. the i newspaper has this striking image, looking ahead to tonight's pre—election debate between boris johnson and jeremy corbyn. and trending on twitter is the moment i'm a celebrity co ntesta nt adele roberts selected concealer and a framed photo of the presenter jane mcdonald as her luxury items. i haven't gotten to the problem of

why that is a luxury item, not the concealer, the photo. butjane mcdonald is delighted by that. shall i show you some of the back pages? this is one of the classic headlines. hans off our sun beds. southgate's coach scouting out hotels for when they play in the world cup next, sometimes ago. and ryan giggs saying fergie is still his phone a friend. so this will be the biggest game of his managerial career, but he always talks to alex ferguson and had an inspirational talk with him. west ham keeping an eye on him should their situation

change. exciting stuff. some people say if you are ill, eat, drink chicken soup. i think that is true. it is, according to this study. it really ca n it is, according to this study. it really can be used to help according to this study. it was talking about traditional broth that may combat malaria. more than 60 broths were found to enter up the life—cycle of the most deadly malaria parasites. to conserve his magic. the most deadly malaria parasites. to conserve his magiclj the most deadly malaria parasites. to conserve his magic. i was going to say, do you think you need to make it? -- chicken soup is magic. this parasite causes 99% of deaths from malaria and transfers to infectious mosquitoes. this is a tiny, tiny little book. it's about that big stop it was written by charlotte bronte, and the bronte society has bought it back at

auction in paris. they spent... go on! £512,000. and i think she wrote it for her brother's toy soldiers. it was absolutely tiny and about 4000 words but it's a rather lovely, beautiful manuscript, actually. and she said the return of the manuscript was the highlight of my 30 years working at the museum. manuscript was the highlight of my 30 years working at the museumm going back home? it is. isn't that lovely. i'm sure everyone doing their a—levels are all interested in what is happening. sally and i are here in salford. while dan's at the university of solent, carol's at southampton docks with the steamship shieldhall with a look at this morning's weather. we can tell by how you address that it is really cold. you can say that

ain! it is really cold. you can say that again! i have a t—shirt, two jumpers, a warm jacket and a code. let's ta ke jumpers, a warm jacket and a code. let's take a look at the ship. she is magnificent. some resemblances to the titanic which will —— which i will tell you about this morning. she is the largest working passenger steamship in britain and a member of the historic fleet. she is docked here at the moment, and if you take a look around the harbour have an aerial shot to show you and you can make out in the distance queen mary two. you can see the smoke coming out of the final. she is docked on the same dock as the titanic was when it set off for new york in april 1912. it is also a pretty frosty start of the day. temperatures fell to —9.1 celsius last night. at the same time, the temperature in cornwall was 9.3. an 18 degrees difference in temperature north to south this morning. the

forecast for our soul is a foggy and frosty start, but also, some of us will see some sunshine. more cloud around than yesterday and rain in the forecast as well. you can see why on the pressure front. rain across northern ireland and parts of wales and the south—west. first thing across northern ireland and parts of wales and the south—west. first this morning if you are travelling, patchy fog. it will lift into low cloud. bright skies today in the north and east, but it will be a bit of cloud, so the sunshine will be hazy. temperatures are warmer, you can say that, in the west compared to the east where we are still in single figures. through the course of this evening and overnight, we still have a weather front in the west making its way into western scotla nd west making its way into western scotland and parts of wales,

south—west england. ahead of it, some clear skies and showers around. some of those will be winter in scotland. temperatures not as low as last night, although in northern england and the north—eastern part of scotla nd england and the north—eastern part of scotland we could see temperatures fall to freezing four -1. temperatures fall to freezing four —1. tomorrow, that is how we start. still a weather front in the west, affecting northern ireland and devon and cornwall. at times are good whip in across pembrokeshire. for the rest of us, mostly dry with some cloud and sunshine. temperatures picking up a little bit. thursday, with the south—easterly breeze, it will be not as cold but still the front out towards the west, still cloud here and also some rain. one 01’ cloud here and also some rain. one or two showers getting into the east but generally the north and east will be drier and temperatures again slowly starting to pick up, as they will do as we head on in towards the weekend. but even through the course of the weekend, the forecast looks like it will have some rain in it at

times. of the weekend, the forecast looks like it will have some rain in it at times. a chilly start here on the docks in southampton. back to you. thank you very much. welcome to solent university in southampton. we are here as part of the election broadcast. 3.5 weeks to go to the big day. let's meet some of the students. i introduce you to chris first. he has a nice and easyjob. he has three and a quarter hours on this bike. these are sport science students. took us through this briefly. we have his heartbreak —— heart rate, oxygen 01’ have his heartbreak —— heart rate, oxygen or somehow other figures going? he is looking good at the minute. we will have a chat with you later on. we have somejournalism stu d e nts later on. we have somejournalism students in the background as well. good morning to you. and here we have the make—up department. let me introduce you to the green phase of nicole. what is the theme? we are

of why we're here today for bbc breakfast. this morning we are in southampton in hampshire on england by zach south coast. this is a porn city with a long and varied maritime history. —— pawn. almost 400 years ago. it was from here that the titanic began its ill—fated maiden voyage back in 1912. southampton was the birthplace of the spitfire, which played a crucial role in world war ii. it was once home to one of britain's most celebrated writers, jane austen, and now has modern celebrities like craig david. most of the city is split into two constituencies. southampton engine and southampton test. has been a battle ground seat for decades with western smith claiming victory over labour by just 31 western smith claiming victory over labour byjust 31 votes at the last election. live in southampton test, labour's alan white head has been mp since 1997. a leave voting city in

the eu referendum, we could all affect plenty of attention on southampton over the coming weeks. here's a list of candidates standing in southampton test. let's show you those. and these are the candidates standing in southampton itchen. you can find the full list of candidates standing in your area by going to the election section of the bbc news website. all the information is on there for you. we are based here at salton university —— solid university. thank you for coming down. an amazing building and this will be an area of the country which all the major parties are looking at closely over the next few weeks. why? they will be looking at the city, certainly. the south of england generally is very conservative stop but the cities and southampton in particular have this real battle between labour and conservative, just 31 vote in southampton it can.

right across the uk, isn't it? just 31 vote in southampton it can. right across the uk, isn't mm just 31 vote in southampton it can. right across the uk, isn't it? it is a labour target and we have already seen lots of labour campaign is coming down here and on the doorstep every weekend holding rallies in the city centre. the conservatives are really working hard to defend it as well. and at the last election, we saw theresa may down here quite a few times trying to defend a seat that eventually went to labour with 10,000, the southampton test side. it isa 10,000, the southampton test side. it is a battleground within the city, but also a battleground between two big characters of the city, royston smith, the current mpw pointed out and ijust point out 31 votes, used to be the leader of the city council. and the other, labour leader of the city council is standing against him. those two guys who are quite well—known, there is a little bit of needle between them. that will be interesting to watch. have our breakfast coffee cup down here. later on... can i get a copy? you can have that. -- coffee. we

have been out and about talking to people of southampton. we will play that later on. being here for a little bit over the past and last 24 hours as well, there was a feeling, and tell me if i am wrong, but this isa and tell me if i am wrong, but this is a city where lots of people look like it is almost overlooked. there are some really particular issues here. it might seem strange because the area is in general wealthy, affluent, it is booming, there is a lot going on in the city centre. just take a little walk a few miles away on the other side of the river where you have to go over toll bridge and you have real pockets of deprivation. it is very much like northern towns where they have used to bea northern towns where they have used to be a ford transit factory, there was a shipyard and they have shut down. what are they replaced with? zero hoursjobs. it is really

something which i think all the candidates who i have spoken to feel really needs to be addressed. they find it very difficult to get an ear ina find it very difficult to get an ear in a central government because there are other priorities in the country, there is often big projects for the north of the midlands, but the south, as uk, just gets lumped in with london, even though those people really come into the city centre in southampton, let alone travel up to the capital. 70 miles from here to london. we are talking toa from here to london. we are talking to a lot of students today and it is a big student town, southampton. 30,000 students in total. you can register to vote, that is important today. what impact would that have on the election in 3.5 years time? stu d e nts on the election in 3.5 years time? students are clever and they have worked out what they are doing with this election, which is why the liberal democrats get squeezed in the green party. there is a pollution in southampton and that is quite an issue, but the green party are likely to get pushed up because the students in particular have

worked out the races between labour and conservative. they will decide maybe they have got a particular contest in their hometown, maybe thatis contest in their hometown, maybe that is where they could use a lead jam or green or brexit party vote. here, that is not available. —— lib dem. they know what they are doing and although they tend to be older people voting, the student certainly got out of the last election and made a huge difference. really good to talk to you. you will be with us through the morning. you need to get a cup of coffee. i promise we will sort that out to you. we will talk to our students as well. sean is with us in southampton, looking at some local businesses and carol is a few miles away as well down at the port of southampton. a really big presence here today. this is our election broadcast and looking at education today. loads more to come at southampton. let's get the headlines wherever you are watching. see you in a few minutes time. good morning.

i'm asad ahmad. over a dozen drug dealers have been sentenced after being exposed by residents in east london who put up fake street signs to draw attention to the criminals. ‘drug dealers only‘ parking spaces and ‘crack pick—up' points were put up by the weavers community action group. it pushed police into investigating drug activities on columbia road, which led to arrests. the group has been praised by a judge and the crown prosecution service. hundreds of cleaners, porters and security officers at university college london are to go on strike in a bid to overturn what they call "a system of bullying and discrimination" against outsourced workers. it's believed it could be the biggest strike of its kind to date in the uk with unions claiming most outsourced workers who are migrants orfrom ethnic minorities receive worse sick pay and pensions than in—house colleagues. ucl says it's committed to addressing the issue.

the increasing use of poison by people trying to get rid of rats and rodents is making london's owls sick and at greater risk of death. the epping forest hawk and owl sanctuary says it's treating sick birds who've eaten rodents, which in turn had eaten poison. the impact of a single owl eating hundreds of rodents a year can be severe. i opened the big. if it is all—black in their mouth, you know it is poison and there is nothing you can do, they have to be put down. they can take the poison. the bird, it says it... and they are gone. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. euston station has delays expected all day because of a points failure. that all day because of a points failure. is expected to t effect that is expected to have a knock—on effect all day today.

this is the approach to heathrow airport. fog could potentially cause delay to flights that we have no information on that at the moment. now, the weather with kate. a cold start this morning, temperatures below zero so widespread frost, but mixed in there some mist and fog as well. the met office has issued a warning of a dense fog and freezing fog as well. visibility in some spots less than 100 metres so some terrific —— tricky driving conditions this morning. it will stay very cold today. temperatures only managing around five or six healthiest overnight tonight it is going to start off pretty chilly. temperatures down in low single figures. some clear spells to the west of london. the temperature through the night could arise a couple of degrees but the minimum before that around two or three celsius. as we head into wednesday, largely dry day, some bright spells but ploughed around as well. still

chilly through tomorrow but you will notice the temperature makes a little bit of a recovery as you head towards the end of the week and into the weekend. with that comes a risk ofa the weekend. with that comes a risk of a little rain. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. hello this is breakfast with louise minchin — dan's in southampton as we continue oui’ coverage of the general election campaign. he's at the university of solent, which is in one of the most marginal constituencies in the uk, getting answers to some of your questions, with a focus on schools and education. and of course hearing about the issues you care about. also on breakfast this morning, pa ra—athlete hannah cockroft took her number of world titles to 12 after picking up two more golds in dubai. she'll be here just after 7:30am.

and the number ten! and today marks 25 years since the first national lottery draw. we'll be joined by olympic boxing champion nicola adams, whose career benefited from lottery funding. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: the first of the general election tv debates between the party leaders takes place tonight. borisjohnson will face jeremy corbyn on itv at 8pm in a straight head—to—head between the two candidates seeking to become prime minister. an attempt by the liberal democrats and the scottish nationalists to take part in the event was thrown out by the high court yesterday. an alleged victim ofjeffrey epstein has appealed directly to prince andrew to "come forward" and give a statement to us investigators. the duke is facing renewed calls to tell the authorities about his friendship with epstein, a convicted sex offender.

the prince said he would testify under oath if his lawyers advised him to. the accountancy firm kpmg has announced its withdrawing sponsorship of andrew's initiatives — a decision which it's thought was made at the end of last month. students at the university of huddersfield passed a motion last night to lobby the prince to resign as the university's chancellor. the chief executive of hong kong, carrie lam, has urged pro—democracy activists occupying a major university to resolve the situation peacefully. the polytechnic university has been the scene of violent clashes between officers and demonstrators. hundreds of students have now left the site — but it's thought at least a hundred protesters are still holding out. sir david attenborough has said the world is starting to tackle the threat of plastic waste — because people have become much more aware of the dangers it poses to marine life.

he was speaking as the bbc‘s natural history unit won an international prize for highlighting the issue. sir david points to supermarkets promising to reduce plastic packaging, and says that children write to him explaining what they're doing about the problem. people in all parts of society are aware of what's happening and it's vile, it's horrid, it's something that we are clearly seeing inflicting on the natural world and having a dreadful effect. if only he could do that around the world. the world would be a better place. can you believe ryan giggs is a player never went to a major international tournament? you told me that earlier and it is staggering. he's got his chance as manager. there's a really big night ahead for wales as they try to qualify for euro 2020. it sounds simple —

beat hungary in cardiff and the job's done. but wales traditionally aren't great qualifiers. they've only made it to one major championship in 60 years — that was the euros four years ago, when they made it to the semifinals. we got the euphoria of qualifying for the first euros and we really wa nt for the first euros and we really want to do that again. we also have the negatives of how it feels to miss out on qualifying for a tournament like we did in the world cup. so, yeah, we're going to use both of them to our advantage. the team in 2016, everybody involved, whether you are a fan travelling to the games or watching it on tv, it was amazing. so if we can recreate that atmosphere, that's fantastic. i think we put ourselves ina great fantastic. i think we put ourselves in a great position and that is all we are in at the moment. we have one game to go and a tough game, so we will need to win that game, obviously. northern ireland and scotland

meanwhile can only qualify via the play—offs. scotland play kazakhstan tonight while northern ireland play theirfinal group game in germany. ireland will have to go through the play—offs after missing out automatically. they needed to beat denmark go through but could only manage a 1—1 draw in dublin. denmark qualify, ireland are in the play—offs. disappointing for them. we had him on the sofa yesterday morning — and now the england head coach eddiejones says he's worried about how the saracens scandal will affect his squad ahead of next year's six nations. the premiership champions are now well adrift at the bottom of the league after being docked 35 points and fined £5 million for breaching salary cap rules. they're not going to appeal. saracens have plenty of players in the england side, and eddiejones says he's worried about how they'll be receieved by players from other teams. there may be some dislocation between the plans and the rest of the clubs' between the plans and the rest of the clubs‘, that's a reality that we might have two work to mend those

relationships a bit harder. and there may be some ways that you like they have to pay for their club instead of their country to make sure they don't go down. so we will weigh all those up as they come about. somerset have been docked 24 points after being found guilty of preparing a "poor" cricket pitch for last season's county championship decider against essex. somerset will start next season on —12 points, while 12 points are suspended for two years. basically they agreed the pitch wasn't as it should have been. they disputed the argument they had made it that way on purpose. they said it wasn't on purpose, but the pitch wasn't on purpose, but the pitch wasn't the way it should have been. see you later. the green party launches its general election manifesto today, with a promise to invest £100 billion a year to tackle climate change, and cut britain's carbon emissions to net zero by 2030. the party's co—leader jonathan bartley is in

westminster this morning. good morning to you. good to speak to you again. thank you forjoining us. i'm just going to talk about the money involved in your manifesto. £1 trillion on the green deal, universal basic income, 6 billion more for the nhs, these are staggering amounts of money. how are you going to pay for it? is the investment we need to tackle the climate emergency. so as you say, we're looking at borrowing over £90 billion, it's the kind of skeletal investment we saw with roosevelt's new deal, with the marshall plan. when there is a war and we have developed the banks, we find the money because we know we have to do it. and if the claimant were a bank, we would have bowed it out by now. so this is what we need to do now. so this is what we need to do now. so you are going to borrow this money? that is correct. borrow over $90 £90 billion to invest in the climate. we want to see people

getting on decent, accessible, affordable public transport, electrification, we want people to have warm homes, cut their energy bills... at the labour conference they also vowed to cut emissions to zero x they also vowed to cut emissions to zero x 2030. the gmb union said that would lead tojob zero x 2030. the gmb union said that would lead to job losses. zero x 2030. the gmb union said that would lead tojob losses. —— by 2030. is that a price you are willing to pay? we believe over 3 million newjobs will be created in the uk. we believe there is a whole raft of the workforce that is economically inactive and we want to get them into a high—paying jobs. we wa nt to get them into a high—paying jobs. we want to invest in research and development to upgrade the whole economy. this doesn't need to be a time where we tighten our bells, this should be where we flourish, clea n this should be where we flourish, clean ourairand cut this should be where we flourish, clean our air and cut prices for the nhs. for most sectors of the uk, 2050 appears to be the earliest

credible date to be carbon neutral. if you went before 2050, they said they would have to be punitive policies. i don't think they have to be punitive policies at all. i believe that we can transition, transform the economy. but it also does of course means tackling inequality and we've got to recognise that the same system which has caused rampant inequality is the same has caused rampant inequality is the sa m e syste m has caused rampant inequality is the same system which is destroying our planet. so we need to take the wealth out of the hands out of the very richest and put it in those in need, to give them security as we transition to that low carbon future. you had one member of parliament in the last election, is this just parliament in the last election, is thisjust a wish parliament in the last election, is this just a wish list? parliament in the last election, is thisjust a wish list? you may remember we are likely to have a hung parliament, it is the most powerful boat you could cast for the green party was that we need to set this country on a new course. with

the ten bills we have, remaining on the ten bills we have, remaining on the —— in the eu, and working to protect our environmental rate that we have had for so long and transitioning into a low carbon economy that we can all flourish. the greens have stood down in 40 seeds to make way for the lib dems. how do you motivate party members in those circumstances —— 40 seats. will you go campaigning for the lib dems? nothing motivates our members more than to get more green mps in the house of commons. but you aren't standing! how can you be putting an mp in those constituencies? we are standing in 500 seats, more seats than we did two years ago. and places where lib dems have stood aside for us, it means we have a much better chance of getting them green mps in the house of commons. in those seats we could send an

incredibly powerful message to westminster by electing the most bold, hard—working members of parliament that are going to shift this country in the right direction. thank you so much for your time, coleader of the green party done the party of england and. —— and wales. while dan's at the university of solent, carol's at southampton docks with the steamship shieldhall with a look at this morning's weather. ican i can see the way you are jiggling on your feet it is really cold? it's about —1 here in southampton, but last night the temperature felt like a chilling —9.9 celsius. so the cold est a chilling —9.9 celsius. so the coldest night of the autumn so far. we have a stunning view over southampton docks this morning. behind me you can see a huge container ship. it's carrying around 20,000 20 foot wide containers and
