in the wales and south—west england. in the moist, tropical air, temperatures widely in double figures, ten or 14 celsius on tuesday. we still have this area of low pressure to deal with on wednesday. gradually tracking its way eastwards. a very messy picture on wednesday. further spells of heavy rain, strong wind for northern scotland and southern england. as we going to thursday and friday, we pick up more of a north—easterly wind which is going to pull much colder air across much of the uk. by the time we get a friday morning, most of us will wake up friday morning, most of us will wake up to an overnight frost. wet and windy for a time and the week ahead, dry and cold later.

hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines.

borisjohnson pledges not to raise income tax, vat or national insurance — as he unveils the conservative's election manifesto. the tories also promise to add 50,000 nurses to the nhs in england, and restore nursing grants. labour is pledging to compensate nearly four million women who lost out when their state pension age rose from 60 to 66. five teenagers arrested after a large brawl at a birmingham cinema. machetes are recovered and vue cinemas pull the film blue story. leaked documents reveal how china is holding hundreds of thousands of uighur muslims in detention camps, in what critics say is an effort to brainwash them.

hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the writer and broadcaster mihir bose, and former conservative pensions minister ros altmann. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in and there's only one story in town. "the stakes have never been higher". borisjohnson's words are on the front of the daily telegraph after he launched the conservative manifesto, making it clear that he would not enter into a spending competition with jeremy corbyn. the metro has the same borisjohnson quote, alongside his promise to deliver brexit by the new year to allow him to focus on delivering his domestic agenda.

well, the i features some of the conservatives' health and safety pledges including plans to add 50,000 more nurses to the existing workforce. the express has the same pledge from the prime minister, and details about an increase of almost £34 billion to the nhs budget. and the guardian reports on the tories plans to spend just £2.9 billion pounds a year on public spending versus labour's plans for an £83 billion boost. we are going to start off our chat this evening, with the telegraph and the stakes have never been higher. mihirand ros. the stakes have never been higher. mihir and ros. would you like to kick us off ros. this is a manifesto thatis kick us off ros. this is a manifesto that is definitely trying not to

repeat the mistakes of the 2017 election, it is trying not to be controversial. funding extra for the nhs, that is at the centre of the whole, the whole manifesto, and the sta kes whole, the whole manifesto, and the stakes have never been higher, refers to what is perceived to be the danger of a labour government coming in, and spending huge amounts of extra money and putting us back into the position that the tories had to rectify when they came in in 2010. so, all of that needs to be seenin 2010. so, all of that needs to be seen in this context, and the... boris johnson's words seen in this context, and the... borisjohnson's words were, i thought interesting, where he said when a labour government leaves office there is always some kind of spending crisis. he was suggesting that if a labour government comes m, that if a labour government comes in, this time they will have the spending crisis at the beginning

rather than the end, but the, the aim here, i mean telegraph is a tory supporting newspaper and the aim of this manifesto is to be responsible, but to show that the government is going to spend more on the nhs, spend more on infrastructure, not with huge tax increases, promising that there will be no tax rises, whereas the other parties are going to increase taxes, and hoping that there won't be anything that people will come in and criticise heavily like last time. how do you think this is going to go down mihir. first boris's plan has been get brexit done. the stakes have never been higher every election i have been higher every election i have beenin been higher every election i have been in this country, every bodycam paining and certainly the prime minister in office has said this is the most important election in a

generation, there is no election where they have said it doesn't matter. what is interesting as ros was saying, borisjohnson will emphasise the economic crisis he says, labour will bring about, and of course, he has gone back on some of course, he has gone back on some of the pledges he made when he was standing for tory leadership when he said there would be a corporation tax cut and things like that, but he doesn't feel much need to be done, but what is really interesting is what this election shows it has moved away from austerity, and we moved away from austerity, and we move the conservatives, they have moved away from the attach rite model of not spending too much money. all the parties of course their spending plans are just very small compared to the labour party spending, but they are planning to spend. we will come to spending in a moment because there is a graph we will look at. stay with the daily telegraph and there is is a piece of analysis on the front—page. and it says that this particular manifesto

is aimed, it is risk—averse ma nifesto is aimed, it is risk—averse manifesto it is described as and aimed at the swing voters. it is also aimed at middle england because it will spend 2 billion on potholes and it will give free parking in nhs hospitals. how much does that matter? it matters, given that the electorate is fed up with politics, given that the electorate wants brexit done, given that the electorate doesn't believe in politicians, i think those little incentives like that, in a manifesto which doesn't promise very much, which doesn't promise very much, which is sort of, you know, realisable could make a difference. you have to get your electorate to come to the polls and vote. there are interesting proposals which don't seem to come out. we have an extra 4 billion on flood defence, thatis extra 4 billion on flood defence, that is important clearly, and then you have promises of a reform of business rates, and the big increase

in the national insurance threshold which will benefit everybody in work. nobody will read that bit because all they worry about, boris johnson is hoping, i am going to get brexit done. well, if all you are worried about is brexit, then obviously, that will define the way you look at all of the manifestos, but you know, you have the triple tax lock promise, so no increase in vat, no income tax increases, no national insurance increases and in fa ct a national insurance increases and in fact a big national insurance cut. plus promises to protect pensioners with the triple lock and the bus pass, you know, there is lots of things to please different groups here. but what about the lack of commitment when it comes to social care. that is a big... that is very big. he made a big point about it when he was campaigning to become conservative party leader and nothing has been said, of course this moves away from the policy that tripped up theresa may. they have

steered completely clear of anything to do with social care which is a shame, because this is the biggest failure of social policy in our lifetime. it needs to be addressed. it needs to be addressed, they say it needs cross—party consensus, we have had some. it doesn't need more money, it needs a reform, a radical overhaul but we are still nowhere after so many... maybe the figures arejust after so many... maybe the figures are just too eye—watering. after so many... maybe the figures are just too eye-watering. relative to 34 are just too eye-watering. relative to 3a billion, which we are going to be spending on the nhs, actually we have to get social care right or that 34 billion won't be well used. another aspects of care on the front of the daily express is a pledge by the prime ministerfor 50,000 extra nurses, 110w the prime ministerfor 50,000 extra nurses, now there are two papers, the first is the daily express, you can see there, on the screen and we will come to the independent which has the same thing. so your thoughts when you saw and you heard this, we have had a break down by hugh pym this evening. actually you say

50,000 extra nurse, everybody will say that is what we need. we need more hui’se, we say that is what we need. we need more nurse, we need more money in the nhs and you would immediately applaud but as the next story might show, whether it is really 50,000 extra nurses or show, whether it is really 50,000 extra hufses or some show, whether it is really 50,000 extra nurses or some massaging of the figure, that is the important question. the idea is there will be more nurses kept within the nhs. at the moment we have a terrible problem where we are training nurses up problem where we are training nurses up they are going abroad or leaving the profession. so the aim is to keep more of the nurses in, and the other thing that i think is really important, is that we have had a u—turn on the support given to nurse training. because the government a couple of years ago, dropped the maintenance grants but are promising to bring back £5—8,000 grants that they won't have to be repaid, to make sure that we encourage people to ta ke make sure that we encourage people

to take up nursing, you know, it is not an easy profession, and if we don't do something radical, we are really in danger of not being able to fund the nhs properly. there will be be 60,000 more care and support workers within the health service, so workers within the health service, so there is a lot that is being promised here, but you know, it is sort of small chunks and not necessarily the whole enormous big picture. this has an immigration point because we shall have to allow, you know, give visas to people from abroad. there will be special nhs visas. 50,000 nurses ready to take up their position. special nhs visas. 50,000 nurses ready to take up their positionlj think ready to take up their position.” think there is a special prize. let us think there is a special prize. let us turn to the guardian, we mentioned, we hibberted we will look at spending and the guardian has —— hinted. this story. the comparison is 2.9 billion versus 83 billion. that is a ratio of 1—28.

is 2.9 billion versus 83 billion. that is a ratio of 1-28. for every pound the conservatives are promising to spend labour is promising to spend labour is promising to spend £28. labour has, you know, broken the bank and gone for it. the figures arest form mick and the conservative spending plans as pauljohnson says had it been presented in a budget would have been considered a very modest budget, not extravagant. in that sense the conservatives given they are planning to spend but certainly nothing like labour's spending plans. the other thing of course, and there is a brill cand chart on the front of guardian, there it is, yes, which shows the scale of the difference. this is the annual current spending, so this is money that will be spent each year, there is on top of this, i mean for example with the conservatives, £100 billion over the parliament, that is supposed to be spent on infrastructure. so actually for the next two parliaments, and so there

are huge sums for investment in the growth of the economy, these are the sums that are meant to be for annual spending, which don't necessarily increase the growth of the economy itself long—term. increase the growth of the economy itself long-term. what we are hearing now is a lot of this is, can only actually be put in place or the spending to start once brexit is started —— sorted out. the question is when is it sorted out? well, obviously 31st january. so says the ma nifesto. obviously 31st january. so says the manifesto. that is the tory plan. let us finish with the front—page 0f the metro. the picture at the top. top: as the ban, the movie is called blue sky. it is a love story with a backdrop of gang violence, goes back to west side story really. really. 0n the news you had... to west side story really. really. on the news you had... what do you make of that? i am surprised that the ban has taken place, i don't

know what the movie, i haven't seen the movie so i can't comment, but the movie so i can't comment, but the fact that a movie shown and there is problems and you know, people with machetes and fights, to re move people with machetes and fights, to remove the movie being shown from every cinema of that... remove the movie being shown from every cinema of that. .. this is the vue cinema chain. i don't think that isa vue cinema chain. i don't think that is a good thing. i welcome it. i think it is a very brave decision but when you look at the pictures of this movie, you have got peoplejust coming along with machetes, and, and people coming to the cinema, having seen the trailers and having seen the adverts for this movie, are going to be riled up. we are in a position in this country, where lots of increases in violent attacks are occurring, and if a cinema has experienced that a film it is showing has incited in its view violence, i think it's very brave of them to do that. i think another

cinema chain might be following, but i welcome it. i think the... i disagree. i respect that. an investigation is going on at the moment. there are questions as to where the violence broke out. moment. there are questions as to where the violence broke outm took place in the foyer that was dealing with frozen 2 the 2 and people saying it that had nothing do with this, the people involved, so there are lots of questions at the moment. if we go back and i am old enough, we had the mods and rockers in the 605 and enough, we had the mods and rocker5 in the 605 and people said it was the result of pop group5 playing we didn't ban this. this is a knee jerk reaction, immediately done because e follow5 reaction, immediately done because e follows from y. it doesn't follow from way. if an inquiry shows it has nothing to do with it they can show it again. if they are concerned about the safety of people visiting the cinema i respect that. what we know it has done, is encouraged a lot of support for the film and people are saying i am going to see it. we will see what happens, but i

know what is going to happen, you are coming back at 11.30 and i look forward to it. for now, that is it. next on bbc news it's the travel show. we start this week in copenhagen. by 2025 the danes hope this will become the world's very first carbon—neutral capital city. we sent cat moh to find out how they are getting on. denmark is a country that takes its eco—friendly reputation very seriously. it is claimed that more than two—thirds of their waste is recycled, and 30% of all their energy consumption comes from renewable sources. they even say the harbour is clean

enough for you to swim in. not something i'll be trying on a cold winter's day. instead i am on a goboat, one of a fleet of electric boats available to hire here in copenhagen. it is charged back at the dock with solar panels. that means no noisy engines, and low co2 emissions. this green drive has had another added push, with the opening of a new tourist attraction — built on top of the unlikeliest of buildings, a power station. fuelled by waste and billed as one of the most environmentally friendly plants of its kind, opened last month, the copenhill spans more than 40,000 square metres. this slope i am on works its way from the bottom all the way up the side of the building, and it's open every day

of the week for hikers, sightseers and even skiers. the ski slope is made from a slippery synthetic material which is coloured green to stop the slope from discolouring. they are still doing a bit of work up here, but look, right over there, that's sweden, which is very cool. and on the other side, we have this amazing view of copenhagen. and how did you guys come up with putting a ski slope up here? one of the things we realised quite quickly is that if you take a section of the building it actually steps down from low to high, from the area where the trucks drive into the boilers, the flue gas treatment areas, up to about 90 metres. the other thing about denmark is that danes love to ski, but denmark is completely flat. so they will drive for three hours to sweden to ski on a slope that is about 80 metres high. so we quickly realised that since we have mountains of trash apparently, we could turn it into mountains

of recreation and skiing, that could become a public amenity in the very centre of the city of copenhagen. sustainability tends to be this thing that is seen as a protestant act, something you do which means that you have to do less of something, that you somehow have to have less life experience. but what we really wanted to do with this project is express that somehow sustainability can be something that is positive and fun, and actually gives more back to people, and to the city. inside, a glass lift shows people the inner workings of the power station. and tours are available as an apres—ski activity. so explain to me what's going on, there seems to be a mix of leftover tree branches, but also general waste as well.

that's correct. we receive waste from five municipalities, both from households and from industries, all the waste that cannot be recycled. how often do these trucks come, because there seems to be a steady flow, even just standing here for the past few minutes. we have around 300 lorries coming in on a daily basis. inside the waste silo, giant grabbers mix the rubbish before dropping it into the furnace. this is where the waste is being incinerated, i will show you over here, it is quite a sight. oh, my eyes! it is like staring into the pit of hell. the plant generates electricity, and potentially enough annual heating for 150,000 homes. we have waste in copenhagen,

we will keep on producing waste in copenhagen and the rest of the world, so this is a product that is already here so we might as well use it for something reasonable, something that makes sense. back on the slope, it's time for me to get my skis on. can i borrow your boot for one moment? just one is fine, thank you. i have not been on a dry ski slope for maybe 15 years. you will have fun. i have been on actual snow. yeah, well it is quite different. speed is your friend up there. speed is my friend... yeah. i don't really know how this is going to go, if i am going to wipe out. laughs. i just want to make it down

without falling over! screams. after that initial wobble, i was soon feeling confident. maybe a bit too confident. laughs. that went really well! and the copenhill is open now, to skiers of all abilities. rwanda has just topped the 2020 africa destination list, and i am here in the capital, kigali. the city is a hub for new start—ups, it has a buzzing art scene, and great local entertainment. but while most travellers whizz through here to get straight to the rwandan wildlife, i have come to see what the capital has to offer.

welcome to rwanda! the city is impressively spotless, there is wi—fi everywhere, and perhaps most importantly, there is a real sense of pride bursting from every single person i talked to. this is thanks in no small part to the national made in rwanda initiative, a movement to support and inspire local businesses, and the made in rwanda label is now a badge of honour. this all reflects the new rwandan identity, no longer divided along ethnic or tribal lines. i am at the house of tayo, where designer matthew rugamba set up shop eight years ago. he has seen his brand grow in popularity since the launch of made in rwanda last year. he has even seen his clothes strutted on the red carpet of the premiere of blockbuster film black panther.

i want to show the best of rwanda, there is a lot of undiscovered talent here. it is part of my mandate to utilise as much local talent and expertise as i can. it's very important that we build a local ecosystem of models, photographers, lighting experts, only when we do that we can say that we have a localfashion industry. tayo and other city designers are not only thriving here in rwanda, but are now selling their goods abroad. fashion is not the only thing that is growing here, thanks to the made in rwanda slogan. music and dance has always been a way for people to express themselves, and now, with the national revival, you can't go far here without hearing a drumbeat. inema is one of east africa's largest arts centres, with a range of rwandan cultural experiences. how do i look? good? i have noticed this real sense of pride to be rwandan.

why is this dance so symbolic of rwandan culture? it is very essential for the kids to have some sort of identity, and to grow understanding of dance, their culture, it is very good as you move forward. well, i guess you can tell what's going to happen next. oh man, here we go! i think i made it through about half of that choreography. these kids are so good! i've had so much fun today getting

stuck into rwandan culture. now i'm ordering a cocktail and i am about to kick back and enjoy a concert, rwandan style. i am here to see dayo perform, one of kigali's rising music sensations. the inanga is our cultural, traditional music. it is our history, it is our identity. many years ago it was getting disappeared. so i decided to introduce my music to the new world. such a beautiful sound. the lyrics of your music, what do they mean, what are you saying in your songs? i want everyone to know our culture, how we are doing, our history. if everybody listens to our story, where we come from,

how we are going on. it gives the inspiration to other nations, so i want to tell the people about our country. this new generation of rwandans who have now moved on from the country's darker, violent past, are shedding light and colour across the country. and while most travellers rush through kigali, it is worth keeping some time aside to explore the people, their passion, and their crafts in this bustling city. hello. saying i am going to #207 this will extend north an east ward overnight. getting to further north just about dry but with cloud, mist and murk, gusty winds in the south—west and it is another mild night. lows between four and nine. an area of low pressure tomorrow. this moving north an eastwards, the heaviest of the rain tomorrow will be across england and wales, we have

a number of met off fits rain warnings in place, the rain becoming patchier, the far north of scotland probably staying mainly dry. windy in shetland, again stronger winds in south—west england but another mild day tomorrow, nine to 13 celsius. we have more wet and windy weather to come as we go into tuesday, the strongest winds will by a cross south—west england where we could cease gusts of 40—50mph. —— see.

this is bbc news, i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 11:00pm a pledge not to raise income tax, vat or national insurance from borisjohnson as he unveils the conservatives' election ma nifesto. let's go for sensible, moderate, but taxcutting, one nation conservative government, and take this country forward. the tories also promise to add 50,000 nurses to the nhs in england, and restore nursing grants. labour pledges to compensate nearly 4 million women who lost out when their state pension age rose from 60 to 66. five teenagers are arrested after a large brawl at a birmingham cinema. machetes are recovered and vue cinemas pull the gang film
