years ago, cut a secret deal it is an unregulated body, to allow america to use the biggest the coin dealerships island, diego garcia, in the united kingdom, as a military airbase. and that proved to be but earlier this year, a problem for us. the united nations‘s top court said there is no regulation, the uk had no right to keep hold there are no records. 0ne crucial piece of evidence turned of chagos, that it was violating up at the home of paul wells — international law and, in may, the un general assembly voted coins from the hoard carefully sewn overwhelmingly to give britain into the case for a six—month deadline to hand a magnifying glass. the islands over to mauritius. this is a fraction of what was found by the thieves. the trail‘s gone cold and, so far, they've done nothing to aid the search for the treasure. these finds, of course, have a financial value, but the wider value is to their heritage and the history of the nation itself and that story is now much harder to tell today, britain‘s response was short and defiant. the foreign office said, because of what's "the british indian ocean happened in this case. territory", as the chagos islands i think people, notjust are officially known, "has been under british sovereignty the professionals, but people since 1814 and the uk does not recognise mauritius‘ who would be sharing claim the islands". but this morning, the labour that with their children leader, jeremy corbyn, for their children's flatly contradicted that, education and knowledge, saying that if he becomes prime we all feel quite bad that minister he will hand opportunity has been denied to all of us. the men, now beginning lengthy jail sentences, could hold the key to a mystery the islands back to mauritius. that is yet to be solved. yes, absolutely, i have been involved in the chagos campaign for a very long time. the election is less than three what happened to the chagos

islanders was utterly disgraceful, weeks away and bbc news is visiting key political forcibly removed from their own islands, unfortunately by this country. battlegrounds around the country. they need a full apology, they need adequate compensation, today martine croxall they‘ve had some, but i don‘t is in norwich for us. believe it is sufficient, martine. and i believe the right of return to those islands is absolutely important. we are part and a lively place, i in mauritius today, a small demonstration by chagosians. they are demanding the right will tell you about it shortly. to return to their island home and the government of mauritius is stepping up its war throughout the campaign, of words with britain. bbc news will be looking closely at the places where the election could be won and lost. we will be visiting10 parts of the uk where seats will be closely contested. today, we're in norwich in the east this situation clearly of england. leaves the united kingdom as an illegal colonial occupier. a steady flow of shoppers have been making use of the market stalls. for now, the british government may feel it can ignore the city is split into this sort of criticism, two constituencies. in the last election, that any punishment will be minor, one was held by the conservatives but the tussle over these tiny and the other by labour. islands is damaging britain‘s reputation on the global stage. i'm in norwich south, which has been held by labour — with a big majority — at the last election, when they won the seat now it‘s time for a look

from the lib dems. at the weather with ben rich. the main battleground is in the north of the city. back in 2017, conservatives beat labour by the small margin of 507 votes. good afternoon. heavy and persistent rain affecting various parts of the uk at times through this weekend. so that's how things stand here in norwich following the last general election with that, there will be some drier — the political parties are all vying for crucial votes interludes, particularly on sunday. on the 12th of december. it is going to feel quite a lot andrew sinclair who is bbc east's milder but through the night, political editor is here with me. turning very wet indeed for the south—west of england and south i am alsojoined by dr nick brooks wales, flooding and certainly some who is a climate change consultant — travel disruption here. rain much of norfolk is rather flat extending northwards across many parts of england and wales, swinging and the effects of global warming is regarded as a key issue here. across northern ireland, too. the further north you are, more a new way of dry weather, clearer skies in you have been here in this part of the far north allowing it to get chilly but most of us a mild night the world since 1995, what have you with the rain and a brisk breeze as well. into tomorrow, for the pulse of the range of the south—west and seenin the world since 1995, what have you seen in terms of demographic change and those years? norwich as a city wales initially them through the afternoon, the abbey as the rain likely to be across parts of has changed a lot, you have to go north—east england, the east and working toward southern and eastern out of your way to get here but this scotland. northern scotland holding was a city which was wealth was onto the dry weather, highs of founded on agriculture, big onto a dozen. but in the last ten years —— 9-12dc onto the dry weather, highs of 9—12dc through saturday night, very wet for north—east scotland. sunday

drier but on fog and low cloud. big on tourism. but in the last ten yea rs big on tourism. but in the last ten years the demographic has changed, we no longer make shoes or chocolate, instead we know have a very booming research park up the road which employs 3000 scientists and allsorts of cutting—edge research when it comes to medical science and tagged science and also a big centre of education and learning. we also have the knowledge school of arts and the city of east anglia and that has also made a name for itself and the creative industries so norwich as a place of the last 20 years has become far more dynamic, probably younger as male and it does not like to be thought of as the alan partridge image we used to have slightly out of touch and prone to making mistakes. norwich very much wants to punch its weight. if you look at the

whole county as a sea of blue with an ion of red and i went on orange and that is pretty much it until you get to ipswich and cambridge. there are one labour seat and cambridge and peterborough and that is as good as it gets. liberal democrats hold north norfolk but that is a big battle there between the conservatives and the democrats this time round. east anglia is a sea of blue, we have all was been a very conservative region and i think the expectation is that after the election we will still be a very conservative region and the hello, you‘re watching afternoon live — i‘m carrie gracie. conservatives' cause is helped by today at 4. the fact all this region with the exception of knowledge and cambridge voted to leave. this is a very a 27—year—old man is found guilty of murdering grace millane, eurosceptic region, this was the the british backpacker strangled to death in new zealand. pa rt eurosceptic region, this was the part of the country where ukip first she met her killer on a tinder date. started, when the brexit party took grace‘s parents wept when the jury hold as well. people here are very returned their verdict. eurosceptic, at is not so muchjust this will be with us about the immigration issue but for the rest of our lives.

30,000 people, some students, other an increase in staffing so within people working here, oddly some —— the well—being my old rings are very clever an increase in staffing so within research that will shape our future. the well— being service that supports students directly with mental health i was research that will shape our future. and well— being we have entered your iwas ina research that will shape our future. i was in a laboratory there in pitch black well they were researching staff and therapies as well as corn fungus which turns out to be really important. david, you're the mental health disability advisers, boss of the park. us how important staff that deal with student the workers that goes on here. you make the work that goes on here is well—being. staff that deal with student of global significance. great things well-being. what is the increase in demand been like since you have put more services on? just in the last to help make the society better today. feeding a growing population, 18 months it has increased by 13%. allowing people to age with good health as they age. these are all 30% extra students coming through things that are being worked on right here. might make you can see our door wanting to access services feeling they need some support so it where our camper van is parked, if i isa feeling they need some support so it is a big growing issue and this is press this little button here. you can see outside and see our news not something just at the university of east anglia, it is across the beat production crew working very board for universities. it is a hard, it looks like they are just having a cup of tea and reading a consensus many people need that help but on the other hand much better newspaper, we've caught them napping that they come forward. what are their own little bit. the reason we have come to the research park is on they telling you the pressures are? radio one and one extra earlier, we we re radio one and one extra earlier, we

were looking at the idea of the jobs market but we were also here because a numberof different they telling you the pressures are? a number of different things, for a lot of students it is the end of first—term safari what are people david, you've got bigger views of there will be dealing with making sure people think of mental transitions they have made to come health when it comes to the to university so from their home towns and home cities, moving away workplace and people studying. that is something we are looking at here. from family for the first time for mental health has been an issue that has been here since the beginning of many people, thinking about the time and it's through a few brave accessibility of the university and souls that it is now a mainstream how more students are coming to us conversation that allows us all to with pre—existing difficulties whether their mental health think a bit differently and to make faculties or other stop they are sure we are building these things transitioning from the support into everything we do. it has long services not only family but nhs to bothered me that the phrase... work a new county where the have to pick life balance is really meant being up a new county where the have to pick up those connections again. at work and going home. we live for a new county where the have to pick up those connections againm 24 a new county where the have to pick up those connections again. it is a big wrench leaving home for the at work and going home. we live for 2a hours a day for that we have to first time. thank you. we will be find a life balance for 2h hours a day towing our vision for this part of the work that are doing in this back again at around 5:15pm speaking part, it's a good well being right at the centre of everything we do. to two norfolk farmers. join us lets bring in some of our other guests. we all begin by speaking to then. more details have been released you. you had experiences with your

own mental health, can you tell bit about the small number about that? from a teenager, i of british children brought home from territory in syria formally under the control of the islamic state group. struggled with it and i was lucky the orphans are the first to be returned to the uk enough to be seen by a therapy from the camps there. 0ur diplomatic correspondent service from where i'm from, which is cambs, and when i came to james landale joins us... what do we know? there's a limit on university, i started to really struggle with depression, not knowing that is what it was at the time. i knew there were services. what we can say, we cannot identify these children is, there are reporting restrictions but a judge hasissued reporting restrictions but a judge has issued a new ruling which is once i try to start accessing the given us more information should be services, i found that it was quite a challenge because you have to can say these children are back in fight your own because a lot of the the uk, they arrived this morning time to be seen and to be taken seriously. how big is mental health and london where they were met by theirfamilies, they provision for you when we've had other words with the parties, the and london where they were met by their families, they had and london where they were met by theirfamilies, they had breakfast and appearto be theirfamilies, they had breakfast labour party saying the same and the and appear to be in good spirits. they were driven to the family home liberal democrats saying the same, and they slept in the car peacefully awaiting details from the conservative party but how important pledges like that for you when and they slept in the car peacefully you're making your choice come and they slept in the car peacefully and thejudge and they slept in the car peacefully and the judge said interestingly december 12? they immediately recognise the family members and family home and have settled into the home and you're making your choice come december12? mass you're making your choice come december 12? mass important. you're making your choice come december12? mass important. i know appearas have settled into the home and appear as happy as they can be a

we have to do —— i know we are difficult circumstances how does the judge know? does a court official seeing promises but we have to be who along to observe? what are the seeing promises but we have to be see these promises being fulfilled because there is a distrust in the judge has made clear is that the services and i want them to be at a stage or you know how to find them children‘s family applied to the and once you do gain the courage to courts for protection to make them go and once you do gain the courage to go and access them, they are there once of court and the courts into for you and the services are there the foreign office can you find to help you. carry at the moment? these children and repatriate them? i'm 0k, the foreign office idealist of the to help you. carry at the moment? i'm ok, i'm in therapy, i've got a government no done that. the judge mental. it's going ok but it has said he was immensely grateful to beena mental. it's going ok but it has been a battle to try and get to this the foreign office because in his place. taking the 12 months to get once this was a complex difficult to the top of a waiting list. thank you for coming and talking about and operation and a fragile environment to find these children this with us today because it's really important as you are saying and identify them correctly. they earlier that people talk about these we re and identify them correctly. they were handed to the care of all issues and that something you've also experienced, alex, in your office officials and brought back to london this morning. it raises the time. alex is a very clever man studying biochemistry. he tried to question of how many such children expand to me earlier what it is but there are and whether other families let's just keep it at biochemistry. who might be in similar positions tells about your experience of think perhaps we should make the mental health. i started here as a child and our extended family a ward of court to bring them back and many phd student and then a first year, children and we talking about?

found that i had quite a lot of anxiety and i really didn't know charities estimate there are about 60 of british origin still there, exactly where to go in terms of the some orphans, some with your mothers nhs but uta was fantastic. i went straight to the student support service and within a month, i had throw their mothers but charities counselling that really help. what you make of the pledge and many of the parties have made so far mobile see should do more, they should all two of the major parties, the come home. the problem is these liberal democrats and the labour children are not all in one place, party, waiting to hear what the conservatives will say about it is hard to identify them. some of treating physical and mental health the same. what do you make of that them are understood to perhaps have proposal? it is in effect slightly limited memory of their time in the meaningless because treating them uk, a numberare limited memory of their time in the the same... they are not the same, uk, a number are underfive and they have been in this part of syria for they acquire different —— they four or five years so it will not be require different resources, funding and specialities. how much money and easy. thank you. what are you specifically going to do? saying we will treat them the same, givex do? saying we will treat them the same, give x amount of billions of pounds two it is not quite enough the leaders of the four really. there are more details to be main parties are gearing found on the bbc website if you want up for a question time leaders special tonight. to look into what the parties are they‘ll each face 30 minutes of questions from the audience.

pledging, specifically on mental it‘s all taking place in sheffield. health. david, here, you have and christian fraser already mentioned you're trying to is there for us. make mental health conversation that is more part of day—to—day work here we are on the balcony of the spin for people who are studying and working what would you like to see room credible be watching this debate this evening. a live question the parties do about this issue come time audience for the four leaders, different to the first debate on itv 12? from me, alex is right. they are between jeremy corbyn different to the first debate on itv betweenjeremy corbyn and boris johnson. it is a good place to come different but i would turn out a bit around and say they both have —— sheffield for the first bbc debate because the steel city has served up might both have the word health and what we have to do is have a single some shocks in recent times, it but health conversation. there is a lot the trend at the referendum so of relationships, i'm no expert but whereas we had most of the northern there are a lot of relationships cities voting narrowly for remain, between physical health and mental this one led to the other way health. 0ne between physical health and mental health. one can have causation on towards brexit and it is a problem the other. if we can make sure we for labour city. in 2017 the six seats all went towards labour but are dealing with your whole self one of them sheffield hallam was the seat of former deputy minister nick effectively, that has to be a good clegg was taken which was one of the thing. thank you for coming into this van, is not the warmest camper van in the world so it was good to shocks of the 2017 election. is it going to serve up any surprises? get you —— so we have to get you inside and get you nice and warm. we largely a local audience. with me now is our political are at the norwich research park

talking about mental health today on correspondent iain watson. radio1and talking about mental health today on radio 1 and one extra. we are back you have seen the room.” live on airat radio 1 and one extra. we are back live on air at 5:45pm but for now, you have seen the room. i got back to the studio. now we have exclusive access earlier. you do something i prepared earlier. breaking using on prince andrew and this is from the royal philharmonic orchestra which has confirmed that prince andrew is no longer its patron following the controversy around his friendship with convicted six offenderjeffrey epstein. there has been a statement from the orchestra saying, following hrh the duke of york's announcement we will i don‘t think they have got your piece so you are going to have to be stepping back from public life, tell us all about it. he has one you management representatives of the orchestra met with prince andrew's prepared earlier, it is not even office on thursday afternoon and had there. it is not up and ready. let a subsequent meeting of the board me run you through the format. it is where they decided the orchestra not quite like the itv debate, the should part company with its patron audience are in charge, 150 members with immediate effect. the statement of the public designed to be the possessive of the british public as goes on to express gratitude to the a whole, putting the question is prince for his support of the that it literally politicians even

orchestra over the past 15 years. of though the parties are of different sizes they get the same amount of course, this all comes with the time, 30 minutes each and what is background decision that prince andrew would be stepping back from interesting is when the public public duties for the foreseeable asking questions directly the about necessarily having a go at each future and there is of course a other. it is a big focus on the question of individual leadership photo today of him horse riding with and competence, how much for the the queen but little else has been public be able to trust with a as seen of him, so that story ongoing. seen at the message they are delivering. you have done that the latest, the royal philharmonic beautifully but we do have your to pa rt the latest, the royal philharmonic to part company with its patron prince andrew. phone. cue yourfilm. police say they have arrested a man from northern ireland as part of their inquiry into the deaths of 39 vietnamese migrants whose bodies were found in a refrigerated lorry container in essex last month. let‘s hope tonight is more smooth the 23—year—old was arrested in beaconsfield on suspicion of conspiracy to traffic people than this is. he is not there. there and conspiracy to assist unlawful immigration. firefighters are battling to stop the spread of a huge fire are obviously some grim ones in the at a hotel opposite eastbourne pier. studio so apologies if you are the blaze at the victorian—era claremont hotel meeting to see the room, it will be broke out this morning. flames have destroyed the roof all right on the night. the takeaway and are still burning inside. firefighters with twelve fire engines have been pumping i think from the itv debate, two water from the sea to try

and fight the blaze. it's being reported that everyone things, the spontaneous laughter that both jeremy inside was safely evacuated. things, the spontaneous laughter that bothjeremy corbyn and boris johnson expedia and the lack of trust that came through from the audience. the question specifically on trust and borisjohnson replied at the audience giggled at it. jeremy corbyn point of view, he was asked what he would stand on the referendum labour promising and i think the six time he wasn‘t seen by that he would leave or remain again the giggles from the audience. this is in so much about politics or brexit is whether you trust the back to norwich. i'm at the joint in message from the politicians. the a centre which is a hub for tech. i'm in one of the glasshouse this reputation borisjohnson has to try year, there is a wheat on the left to put to rest as he is fast enlist of me which is being speed readers on detail but also sometimes with and other scientists in the centre the truth. jeremy corbyn says he is are working on other —— it is being in favour of straight talking honest politics therefore people want to hear straight answers and really big issues including brexit. people be speed—breeded. this can now be used, this research, to develop new drugs. making a judgment on a character tonight and not just let's find out more about this with making a judgment on a character tonight and notjust on policies, the head of business development some are quite popular and here at thejoint respective of the party leaders,

the head of business development here at the joint in a centre. tell people want to know who will carry mea here at the joint in a centre. tell me a little bit about this plant and them out. competence and character and what is on show in these how it's helping the farm industry. particular displays on television, far more so than on the stump when 25 years ago, a colleague of mine people by the manifestos and tell was studying the way that insects transmit viruses into plants. what's you about the giveaways and then. interesting is he discovered thank you. apologies about your something really unexpected. he discovered these virus particles had film. the audience only has two the potential to make new classes of ma nifestos film. the audience only has two manifestos to focus on, one from the liberal democrats, one from labour yesterday, was still have to get one drugs. following on from that and from the snp and consultants, following on this research is on his understand the tories will put theirs out on sunday but lets see lap, he was able to advance it to the point where we could consider... what people want to hear tonight, what people want to hear tonight, what do they think about the election so far? joe, let‘s talk and some of the researchers from the about the format. i was seeing it as lab have ta ken and some of the researchers from the different straight, there is a lab have taken this technology setting energy and taking questions across, joined that company and are now in the process of taking it directly from the audience, how does through to commercialisation. white migrated here. thank you very much. that there are people at home? directly from the audience, how does that there are people at home7m directly from the audience, how does that there are people at home? it is likely to be well received, clearly now to the ceo of this new company. a very different format from the

tell us how you're using the research which has been developed direct debate we had with itv. i do because of plans like this one, into think the opportunity to actually new drugs. we've been able to take see the various leaders and sparse the technology that was developed here and that technology enables us a nswer see the various leaders and sparse answer specific questions are not argue with each other is definitely to express proteins, new drugs, new an advantage. having all for one vaccines a new diagnostics and the leaves of these plants. we are now after the other with half—an—hour may prove a little too gruelling for working with life science companies, pharmaceutical companies and diagnostic companies around the some people whether the average person and the street really engages world to make new drugs and new with this image to be seen. it diagnostics, new vaccines for use in hasn‘t been since 2010 honey first both animal and human health. i've met lots of different plants you can had the debate that we have had one do this from. this is a lab strain that really made a difference to the polling, a turning point rather than a talking point. it remains to be of the tobacco plant and you're developing anti—cancer drugs. seen whether this on the other debate still to come will have an of the tobacco plant and you're developing anti-cancer drugs. the reason we use this as a lab strain impact. what about the manifestos? i is it gives high yields to the protein, it is resistant to was listening to the other posters infections and it goes extremely well. as you say, the good irony is saying that might be something in well. as you say, the good irony is this labour manifesto that goes down we are actually now able to make well with a white people, many anti—cancer drugs we are actually now able to make anti—cancerdrugs ina policies that make or down well but

non—commercial strain of tobacco. after is that like of trust we were you are employing highly skilled workers and your company. what do just discussing, how does he get you need to take it to the next that across question about what does jeremy corbyn have to do given he is stage in the in this area because like wishing? —— languishing. there is low pay in this region but what support do you need from the next government? we need a lot of jeremy corbyn have to do given he is like wishing? -- languishing. very few people are downloading the support to make sure we have got the ma nifestos few people are downloading the manifestos and reading them and right skills to be able to continue this work because part of what we making an informed decision, instead are doing is commercialising this what tends to happen as we take our and improving on the technology. we cu es what tends to happen as we take our need to grow our business and our cues from the leaders and we want to intention is to grow it on this know the parties going to represent park. to do that, we need to build a us, do the right thing for people much biggerfacility so park. to do that, we need to build a much bigger facility so we can scale like me? do we trust them, think this up and supply commercial quantities of this drug for people and to do that we have to do have a they can be effective? these questions can be answered by debates lot of various skilled scientists to such as this evening but also enable us to move forward. why thank specific manifesto stories, policies you. quickly i will askjohn what within that document can attract you. quickly i will askjohn what you think you need from the next government to make sure more attention and really attract the projects like this one continue. the type of people who think that type first thing we need is to make sure of manifesto, that type of policy is something that appeals to me and so the government continues to invest in fundamental research. without i perhaps well lean more towards that party. we were talking about that investment in fundamental

research, we will not make these discoveries. it's too cost the shock result when nick clegg was prohibitive for industry to do that. defeated in 2017 but back to 2010, even then, once we've made those he was the one that got a break—out discoveries, we still need some additional support that support will moment and these televised debates help move this technology and stop i don‘t think we have at translate it across into the hands anything like that since. would you say that is the case and do these of commercial colleagues such as simon has been working over at leaf debates actually work and transforming people minds? since expression systems. the other thing we like to do is really ensured we 2010 that hasn‘t been much in the way of impact but what has happened can still attract scientists from all over the world that many of the scientists who work with george polling conducted after these welcome to the uk from far reaches debates is that in 2010 for the of the world and invested in our first debate and only for the first culture and our wonderful signs we debate people responding to the polls were running to answer in a do here. thank you very much. to fairand polls were running to answer in a fair and balanced way and willing to put their party allegiances to one enable the researcher to grow, we need the right skills, notjust from side and give a determined answer here in the uk but elsewhere around about who they thought performed the world. back to you.|j best. since then the whole process here in the uk but elsewhere around the world. back to you. i like the way you gave him his own plan and to has become extreme with politicised get back from him. i hope you'll and even for subsequent debates give it back again. will do. people have tended to view these debates and a partisan way. if you

now it's time for a look at the weather. are conservative supporters generally speaking you will think borisjohnson has generally speaking you will think boris johnson has done generally speaking you will think borisjohnson has done best, regardless of what he has actually said. similarly if you are unable thank you. good afternoon, got there supported you thinkjeremy corbyn has done the best regardless of how eventually. this weekend brings the he has actually performed. we have return of some heavy rain. dryer for seen all of this turn into a more of many of us this week but the rain a partisan activity to get people excited at home about their own staging a return, quite persistent at times, enough to cause some parties other than really an problems but with that it will be open—minded view for members of the public to think which of these do i milder. this is how things have like best. thank you. we will be panned out so far today. shallowest drifting northwards, persistent rain showing in towns across parts of the midlands and the west country. across the south—west of england and south of wales, this is what we have here at six to bm for a special the first area of concern is that through tonight, the rain will be programme, looking ahead to the very persistent, over high ground, up very persistent, over high ground, up to 50 millimetres of rain. a couple of inches that could well be debate, people telling us what they wa nt to debate, people telling us what they want to get out of it and will be enough to cause some transport the other side of the debate as main pm to pick it all apart and see disruption and also the potential for some localised flooding. there whether that was in fact a winner. isa for some localised flooding. there is a myth of the other while running join us for that. remember you can in place here. through tonight come across the uk, we will see outbreaks doa join us for that. remember you can do a live fact checking through the of rain drifting northwards and across england and wales, rain programme on the website.

you want a trial? you see donald these are the chagos islands, trump saying he thinks this will be tiny and remote, but now the subject good for him and the election next of an increasingly bitter tug—of—war year and he will get voted and again between britain and mauritius. britain controls the islands and, years ago, cut a secret deal thanks to what is going on in these to allow america to use the biggest island, diego garcia, impeachment hearings. it was quite as a military airbase. but earlier this year, the united nations‘s top court said wide—ranging interview including an the uk had no right to keep hold of chagos, that it was violating extraordinary claim that hong kong would have been obliterated in 1a international law and, in may, the un general assembly voted overwhelmingly to give britain minutes effort wasn't for him a six—month deadline to hand calling the present of china telecom the islands over to mauritius. not to send an 1 million troops. that and one spouse came out in this today, britain‘s response was short and defiant. interview. —— that and what else —— the foreign office said, "the british indian ocean territory", as the chagos islands are officially known, "has been under british sovereignty lots else. that was a fascinating since 1814 and the uk does not recognise mauritius‘ claim the islands". but this morning, the labour moment to watch that interview with leader, jeremy corbyn, three presenters lined up and no one

brought many of us a bit of a break mohammed and she died quickly but from the very wettest of the weather. however, heavy and her unborn child was saved. the persistent rain is now making a cutout he had never been able to get return. problems as we head into the over the fact his wife had divorced weekend, with that it is going to feel milder. this is the radar him and got on to remarry and have picture from earlier today, you can more children. in 2012 there was see showers that have been drifting insta nt northwards, some persistent rain more children. in 2012 there was instant riches then wife jumped out developing through parts of the and upstairs window because she was midlands, country, south wales and and upstairs window because she was a freighter was going to kill him. the south—west of england and this is the area that we are most about after a trial in 2013 he was the of tonight, met office together other trying to attack her but he was weather warnings in fourth, 50 subjected to a banning order millimetres of rain over the high ground of dartmoor and south wales stopping him from coming close to for example. that could be enough her and her new family even though range of course a localised flooding that order was still in place and still did not stop him from and certainly some very poor travelling conditions. if we look at murdering her on the court heard the uk as a whole through tonight, that although he said he was trying you can see the rain extending to scare her husband, in fact it through parts of the midlands, seemed he was equipped to tie the coventry north and midlands and northern ireland as we move on. the further east and north you are, some couple up potentially kill them both splashes of rain, a bit drier and and the unborn child and although he was able to kill his ex—wife at the northern scotland will be —— might hold on to clear skies, least a child was saved. chilly, some cloud, the rain and a

brisk breeze. they might receive and the leaders of the 4 main into the first part of tomorrow parties are gearing up where we will continue to theatrics for a question time leaders of rain moving erratically north of special...they'll each face 30 minutes of questions from the audience. it's all taking place in sheffield.. england, wales, northern ireland and southern scotland but through the and christian fraser afternoon, things should start to brighten up a little bit across east is there for us. anglia and the south—east, and the rain will tend to peter out across the west and to an extent across the the anticipation building, just underfour hours south of wales. the focus by this the anticipation building, just under four hours away from the first of the bbc debates so the leaders of the four major parties will be on stage shifting to the east midlands stage tonight for the alive question and north—east england. enough to time debate, fiona bruce and lucia cause localised flooding. particularly outwit the ground is at keeping a tight reign on it all. the moment, the rain tending to ease off through northern ireland, heavy sheffield is a good place to come because in recent years that has and persistent for the soul parts of sent a few surprises, in 2016 went scotland. holding onto some sunny spells but as we head into the evening, the wet weather will move narrowly for brexit and bucked the its way in. again, there could be trend because liverpool, manchester, enough rain to cause some nottingham went to once remain, disruption. it does not return a little drier for the south because sheffield was the exception so you may tear a flavour of that in some of this area of high pressure. it is a long way away but you can see this of the comments tonight. in 2017 and served up one of the shocks of the bump in the isobars, a ridge of high pressure to take us into sunday morning. sunday is looking like a

drier day for most could be quite a election, labour defeated nick clegg, the former deputy prime lot of folk around first thing in some of that could be very slow to minister. that was one of the brick clear. likely to stay rainy in some places all they wrote one. rain into of moments and the television shetlands and the far south. debates in 2010, rather get generally speaking, more any way of something that tonight? and dry weather and fairly mild with sheffield nick clegg must i take highs of 9—12dc. battle between labour and the liberal democrats, so a flavour of the local politics as well. with me now is our political correspondent iain watson. he has been interviewed and the auditorium. let's not get over excited. we got exclusive access and a beacon run through the format of the programme. the four party leaders will be making their pitch from this very

podium, they represent the four biggest parties at westminster. rather bizarrely for a general election they have agreed on something, the order of service. jeremy corbyn will be fast then nicola sturgeon thenjo swinson and jeremy corbyn will be first then nicola sturgeon thenjo swinson and finally borisjohnson. the spectre of the size of the parties they will what is different from a conventional debate is here the audience will be in charge, sitting here, 150 of them representative of the british public as a whole. the headlines at 5: a 27—year—old they will be putting the question man is found guilty of murdering directly to the politicians grace millane, the british backpacker who was and from past experience they can strangled in new zealand. really put them on the spot so who knows, perhaps tonight we will grace was killed the night change the whole shape of this before her 22nd birthday. general election. she met her killer on a tinder date. he hid her body in a suitcase. grace‘s parents cried when the jury returned its verdict. difficult questions on a poor

this will be with us performance and perhaps... for the rest of our lives. grace was a beautiful, talented, loving daughter. grace was our sunshine, difficult questions on a poor performance and perhaps. . m difficult questions on a poor performance and perhaps... it is an interesting thing trying to balance and she will be missed forever. tonight because this is a city that we‘ll have more on today‘s murder has led towards the left but also conviction from new zealand. lea ns has led towards the left but also leans towards brexit. you are going to get all kinds of flavours. also on tonight‘s programme: nigel farage unveils the brexit party‘s policies for the election — becomes incredible difficult because not a manifesto, he says, conventionally on these occasions that are meant to be representative of the british public you get more conservatives and labour than any other parties but for labour in particular that can be different views on brexit within people who say usually what from the party and from their point of view you might get bowled a googly from his own side, people asking for more clarity on the brexit issue. some might vote labour and leave and want to buy he

is backing a second referendum sunday on the domain state—wide don't you simply say which way you would vote. but equally many people working in public services, little what the agenda onto that so it can be difficult for boris johnson. jeremy corbyn is currently lagging in the polls, it is an important occasion for him and important for jo swinson because the leader of the liberal democrats wasn't in the head—to—head debate from itv, she was not pleased about that, and she is necessarily as well—known as the other candidates and has to make a huge impression on the british public when she gets 30 minutes of fame this evening. thank you. two hours, each of the leaders gets 30 minutes. we will be here when various teams will be talking about what they want to get across and

after the debate to mop up what they all thought of it. if you are watching you can get a full fact check on the website. also on the news channel. time for a look at the weather... a lot of snow but this is not in the uk, this is slovenia over the alps, 285 centimetres of snow on the ground at the moment, close to three metres, the kind of amount they would expect by the end of the season, not so soon and november. why hasn't been that big dumping of snow? low—pressure which is also brought rain nsi and look at the forecast, more snow to come over the alps as it continues to fall the ongoing risk of avalanche, more

heavy rain for italy, strong winds through the adriatic plus high tides sunday into monday and venice so thatis sunday into monday and venice so that is one to keep an ion. it lot going on in europe, mild in the west, cold up for that east but a lot going on. mild for us, but the other side is maybe less welcome because after what has been a fairly dry week heavy rain is making a return. not everywhere but in various parts of the uk the rainfall could cause some problems. this is the radar picture showing the rain has fallen, she was drifting north but the persistent rain spreads west and through to lately first india of concern is the south—west and south of wales, a met office weather warning and the potential for really

tricky travel conditions. also some localised flooding. looking more broadly at the uk, the rain extends across western parts, towards northern ireland, some rain towards the south—east, the further north more dry weather, clearest across northern scotland, chilly here, mild elsewhere thanks to the cloud and rain and a brisk breeze continuing into tomorrow. through tomorrow further outbreaks of rain drifting across england and wales, went through the south—west and south wales, rain in northern ireland as well, turning weight for southern scotla nd well, turning weight for southern scotland but through the afternoon brea ks scotland but through the afternoon breaks in the cloud, the chance for brightness developing across southern counties, rain petering out for the south—west and southern half of wales. the focus for wet weather shifts to the east, the ground very wet so more persistent rain will not be welcome. drying up in northern ireland but honey increasingly wait for southern and eastern scotland,

northern scotland through daylight hours should be dry but getting into the evening, the heavy rain drifts east and northern scotland with up to 80 millimetres of rain possible that could be problems with flooding and poor travelling conditions. sunday brings something drier because of the high pressure, has an informant on our underneath on sunday trapping a lot of mist and fog early which could lift and hang around 0d as low clouds are doubly expecting a bright day but at least most of us spoke at a dry one, rain returning to the south—west later and lighter winds but again between nine and 12 saw temperatures remaining higher than they have been. certainly rain gives cause for concern, one thing is enforced, 01:32:49,133 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 check those on the website.
