is still under pressure to detail exactly what she hopes to get for britain out of brexit, while mr corbyn was pressed on whether he'd press the nuclear button, his plans for corporation tax, in the labour party. they weren't easy questions by any means, and theresa may will be 45 minutes each of hard grilling by members of the public for the prime minister and for the labour leader, jeremy corbyn. what's come out very clearly is that theresa may is still under pressure to detail exactly what she hopes to get for britain out of brexit, while mr corbyn was pressed on whether he'd press the nuclear button, his plans for corporation tax, and other controversies such as anti—semitism in the labour party. they weren't easy questions by any means, and theresa may will be hoping it will have some impact in the conservatives favour after a week of disappointing polls. let's speak to labour's joint general election coordinator chief, andrew gwynne, and the brexit secretary, david davis. it would appear that people were very concerned. it was an assured performance by the prime minister. she made. a

mr. corbyn: he will be remembered. mr. speaker, i want to congratulate the mover and seconder of the queen's speech. rst, i do congratulate the newest member on his speech. and i went to visit my mom and i hope he will understand the deep love of humanity that motivated those who agreed to go to the common during those days. and i would like to thank him for taking time out for his responsibility looking after his extensive property portfolio and pending to his directorship of the u.k. water partnership. i hope a labour government will be able to come to his aid by taking water back into public wnership and to the aid of his tenants by ensuring the responsibility of tenants that ll homes are has beentation. the member will pursue his other interests in parliament and his interest in defense and africa and rural affairs and i agree with part of what he said when he spoke of the need to adhere of all of the agreements on climate change. i thank him for that part of his speech. thorn, the honorable whose speech was articulate

mr corbyn says it was an incredible result for his party. oks at how and where those labour gains were made. oh, jeremy corbyn! it wasn't victory, but tojeremy corbyn and his most ardent fans it felt almost as sweet. many had written him off, instead he's delivered labour's largest increase in the share of the vote since the war. his team say he offered voters hope, a positive vision. they want jeremy's slogan when he says leader, straight talking honest politics, that's what they want, they want someone to come and say this is what i believe in, this is what i want to implement and this is what i will do and they support that type of politics. it's what these huge enthusiastic crowds wanted, all over the country mr corbyn took his message. our manifesto offers something very, very different. he promised higher pay, more free childcare, scrapping tuition fees paid for by higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy and when the votes rolled in it seemed young voters were behind the labour surge. rosie claire duffield is duly elected member of

the conservatives came first on 44%, but not far ahead of mr corbyn's rejuvenated labour party, piling on the votes since they last bought a general election, lots of young voters turning out to support labour, and a very good 41% for them in second. the lib dems still bumping along a bit in 8% but still focusing better and winning seats. green on 2% and ukip interestingly on 2%. that's significance, a crash for them, down 11% and that's why the leader resigned. people were thinking all their votes would go straight to the conservatives to help mrs may, but looking at the columns, that hasn't happened. labour have also benefited from the

may stressed that she was the best person to lead brexit negotiations and mr corbyn promised a left—winglternative to the government's planned spending cuts. elected leaders of several american states and cities, including california and new york, have pledged to meet greenhouse gas emission targets regardless of president trump's announcement that he will withdraw the united states from the paris agreement on combatting climate change. the new leader of the biggest party in ireland's coalition government, fine gael, is leo varadkar — the son of an indian immigrant who is ireland's first openly gay minister. aged 38, he is set to become ireland's youngest prime minister in a few weeks‘ time. now let's take a brief look at some of this morning's front pages. we start with the mirror which leads with the conservative candidate for south thanet, craig mackinlay, being charged with breaking electoral law. the tories have said the allegations are unfounded. the election is also the main story on the express — with snp leader nicola sturgeon saying she'd be willing to enter coalition talks wit

applause good evening, good evening mr corbyn. 0urfirst question good evening, good evening mr corbynlease. why should the british public trust you and your pierce to negotiate brexit? why should the british public trust you and your pierce to negotiate brexit? thank you for inviting me here tonight. i' very sorry this is not a debate this is a series of questions. i think it's a shame the prime minister hasn't taken part in a debate. we're very clear on brexit. a referendum took place, a decision was reached. we're leaving the european union. secondly, we will immediately legislate in office to guarantee rights of eu nationals to remain in this country. secondly, we will negotiate with the european union to guarantee trade access to the european markets and protection of the conditions that we've achieved through eu membership because it's crucial to protect our manufacturing industry. your point about our negotiating team, we have a great team. we've a great team of very experienced people. keir starmer is one of the leading lawyers of this country. i think i can trust keir starmer

good evening, mr corbyn. the first challenge, whether he would play brexit hardball.understands your position, that no deal is a bad deal, then you've got no chance. we are not approaching these negotiations by threatening europe with setting up some kind of low tax haven for big corporations in this country. we are instead saying we want to continue that trading relationship outside the european union. he was pressed on whether he would work with the snp, and whether the country can afford his plans. is labour's manifesto a realistic wish list, or is itjust a letter to santa claus? i urge you to read it. i think it is a serious and realistic document that addresses the issues that many people in this country face. i'm thinking of last time labour were in government, they left a note in the chancellor's office, saying, "we've no money left. " do you know what? the very richest in our society have got richer. there has been more and more tax giveaways at the top end and more and more charges at the other end. it's time to rebalance it. then his own long—held resistance

while mr corbyn faced a robust exchange over whether he would use the uk's nuclear deterrent. they came here hoping to persuade people that they have what it takes to lead the country. no—one expected an easy ride but from the start it was clear that this would be a testing evening. theresa may was accused of being untrustworthy, of changing her mind on calling an election and on policies like social care. others were angry about funding for schools and hospitals. my wage slips from 2009 reflect exactly what i am earning today so how can that be fair? we have had to take some hard choices across the public sector in relation to public sector pay restraint. we did that because of the decisions we had to take to bring public spending under control because it wasn't under control under the last labour government. brexit is why theresa may says she called this election. she said she was determined to deliver. we take this opportunity of brexit, new trade deals around the rest of the world, actually seeing how we can build a more prosperous, stronger and fairer britain. i think we

that is where mr corbyn was most comfortable, making a clear defence of a bigger state. are asking the very biggest corporations to pay a bit more. but i'll tell you what, i think it's worth it. it's worth it so that any young person can go to university and not leave with debt, to make sure that school head teachers do not have to collect at the school gate in order to pay the teachers' salaries. mr corbyn, who started out pretty relaxed, lost his ribbon after being pressed several times on whether he would use our nuclear deterrent if we were attacked. the reality is that we have to obviously try to protect ourselves. we would not use it as first use. and, if we did use it, millions are going to die. you have to think this thing through. applause would you use it as second use, or would you allow north korea or some idiot in iran to bomb us and then say, oh, we'd better start talking. you'd be too late! he was also pressed on his 1980s contact with irish republicans. there has to be a coming together at some point. you were talking to them, they were killing women and

mr corbyn is ready to forgive and forget. ugs with lots of people. i love a group hug, myself. laughter. opponents of corbyn have been flummoxed by his success. and they're reviewing their tactics. and our latest political bedtime story, from someone who's made a bit of money writing them. there is an apocryphal story about a former united states president. sadly, because of public cynicism about spin, a lot of people believe it.

all over the country, mr corbyn took his message.he promised higher pay, more free childcare, to scrap tuition fees, paid for by higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy. and when the results rolled in, it seemed that younger voters were behind the labour surge. the university city of canterbury, a seat which had been held by the conservatives for 100 years, now labour. some think their success stemmed from videos on social media, which had tens of millions of views and shares. i think a lot of young people, as well, don't necessarily read all the newspapers that were kind of doing their smear campaign againstjeremy corbyn, so i think people underestimated actually how effective sharing stories and photographs, how effective that was going to be. i pay the university fees, and for people it is just so refreshing to see somebody stick to his word. what do you think about his image and the campaign he ran? i think he did well. i mean, he did turn up to all the debates and stuff. theresa may didn‘t. ijust think that people are quite

mr. corbyn has been making this morning. they're ready to serve the country, we will do everything we can to put our program into operation, and he says parliament will have to take a decision on what happens when the government puts forward its program. it is very, very unlikely at this point that jeremy corbyn, the labour leader, will be part of any government here going forward because obviously first this is -- this goes to conservatives and theresa may to form a minority government right now. and then only after a couple of steps this could take, you know, weeks and weeks until the conservatives say, hey, we're not able to form a government, over to you, jeremy forbe corby form one. they ruled out forming a coalition with either conservatives or with the labour party. so it would be extremely difficult for jeremy corbyn to find or form any alliances here going forward. coming back to the comments on brexit, he said that the trade deal with europe is the most important element of the brexit talks, but so far in the campa

it is notjust the conservatives putting this to mr corbyn.it to him. that was one of the big issues they wanted explained from him. it is reconciling the fact that, yes, he stuck to his guns, well, let's not use the word guns, but he is adamantly against the use of nuclear weapons throughout his political life. what is the point in having a deterrent? it is only a deterrent if you say you are prepared to use it, isn't it? let's think for a minute about nuclear weapons. throughout the whole of human history that have been wars, but the weapons that were designed to be used on a battlefield against enemy combatants, the thing about nuclear weapons is, inevitably, they will be used to kill hundreds of thousands of individual citizens or innocent people, and that is the difference between nuclear weapons and all the others. so these weapons are immoral. the world accepts that. we have to find a way of getting rid of them overtime. i think whatjeremy is concerned about is the morale to you of a weapon being used against oui’ you of a weapon being

mr corbyn said it showed mrs may's "silence and subservience" towards the president.ng street said she'd expressed her "disappointment," and a source said other major countries had refused to sign. meanwhile, in brussels, the eu and china have beenjoining forces, to send a message to the world that they stood by the paris agreement. from brussels, our correspondent damian grammaticas has sent this report. in the fight against global warming, and just hours after donald trump retreated, enter new leaders — the eu and china. apart from the us, these are the world's other two economic heavyweights, prompted by president trump to act in concert. what we're seeing here with this joint reaction to donald trump's statement is striking, not just for the swiftness, but also for the message it sends, at a time when the us under president trump is withdrawing from global leadership on climate change, instantly the eu and china are stepping in to take up that mantle. it's a striking global change which could herald a decline in us influence. so at this special summit in brussels,

while mr corbyn faced a robust exchange over whether he would use the uk's nuclear deterrent. our political correspondent vicky young was there. the party's the pa rty‘s manifesto the party's manifesto commits the conservatives to keeping tax as low as possible but hadn't ruled out increases in income tax. labour says low earners have had no guarantee over tax. our political correspondentjoins me now over tax. our political correspondent joins me now from over tax. our political correspondentjoins me now from a campaign event in west yorkshire. this is an interesting intervention from the defence secretary michael fallon. it certainly is. as the campaign enters its closing stages, the prime minister's just turned up enters its closing stages, the prime minister'sjust turned up here in west yorkshire to meet party activists to try to rally the troops. i think we are seeing signals of some concerns that if traditional conservative voters in parts of the world like this where there are marginal seats don't turn out, it could do some damage. what we are seeing out, it could do som

she's sweet and mr corbyn. voted for him at the beginning, i thought he couldn't lead me down the garden path at one time. but the more i've listened to him, and i have listened, it's right what he is saying. it comes across as honest. you don't have to shout to be heard. i have no influence over the customers whatsoever. education and the nhs decided shirley's vote although mr latham has brexit on his plate, higher import costs, worries about his polish staff and customer trepidation at the tills. it takes away his feel—good factor and when you've got the feel—good factor you wa nt you've got the feel—good factor you want to spend and buy cakes, so people are nervous of spending at the moment. and he thinks a conservative government will calm those nerves. of a great deal of admiration for theresa may. —— i have a great deal of admiration. who i think is doing a good job in difficult circumstances. theoretically all it would take for mr latham to get his wish would be several hundred lib dems switching. but pa

may stressed that she was the best person to lead brexit negotiations and mr corbyn promised a left—winglternative to the government's planned spending cuts. the white house has defended donald trump's decision to pull the us out of the paris climate agreement. administration officials say it's now up to other world leaders to decide whether to sit down and negotiate a new deal. however, china, india and the eu have recommitted to the original agreement. the new leader of the biggest party in ireland's coalition government, fine gael, is leo varadkar — the son of an indian immigrant who is ireland's first openly gay minister. aged 38, he is set to become ireland's youngest prime minister in a few weeks‘ time. coming up shortly on bbc news, we will have new swatch but first it is time for click. —— news watch. summer is on the way and, well, it wouldn't be a british summer without a visit to a good old fashioned festival. no, not that one. much better. known as the town of books, hay—on—wye, in wales, is the location of the hay festival. it's a literary mecca, an annual gathering of artis

mr. jeremy corbyn. >> thank you mr. speaker i buy tradition at the beginning of each parmenter seshmi, write the members we have lost in the last year. sadly mr. speaker this year must also mark the passing of those who were lost in horrific events in recent days and weeks. the fire at grenfell tower in west london has killed at least 79 people. what takes a both a tragedy and an outrage is that every single one of those deaths could have been avoided. something has gone horrifically wrong. but community is demanding answers. thousands of people living in the tower walks around the country need urgent assurance emergency service especially fire rescue services in this case deserve our deepest respect and support. i also want to pay a very warm tribute to my honorable friend from kensington who in recent days demonstrated so clearly why her local community put their faith in her, her determination to ensure that every family is rehoused locally in the exemplary work of a dedicated member of parliament and would welcome h

while the daily express leads on the prime minister's accusation that mr corbyn falls short on patriotismxit deal. the financial times looks at theresa may's efforts to revive what it calls her "faltering" campaign by focussing once again on the promise of brexit. the guardian focuses on the donald trump's decision to dump the paris accord. to dump the paris accord. and the metro — very sad — reporting that the injured mother of saffie roussos, the youngest child murdered by the manchester terror attacker, has woken from her coma, and been told of her daughter's death. we are going to start with the breaking news from this evening, giles, front—page of the guardian, ona giles, front—page of the guardian, on a lot of the other front—pages as well. well. accuse at us as trump rejects accord. he has pulled out of the deal signed in 2015. this is no surprise. he stood on this in his ma nifesto surprise. he stood on this in his manifesto so for once, in one element, it is expected, and i am sure the oil and gas companies are rubbing their hands. however, it does reinforce in view of trump and

you have obvious that a much better than many people thought, as has mr corbyn? be able to form a majority but i think we have seen a bold, positive campaign and a vision for the country which has been incredibly popular. if you think of seven weeks ago, theresa may called the selection thinking it would be a tory landslide and she would have a majority of over 100, and labour we re majority of over 100, and labour were falling at 20%. we are now calling at 40%. it has been an incredible campaign. would you be nervous if mr corbyn tried to form a minority government, involving or sorts of deals and compromises, which could end in tears as well?l minority government, not a coalition, on a deal by deal basis, thatis coalition, on a deal by deal basis, that is my understanding and i think that is my understanding and i think that would be fantastic if it was able to be achieved. the british people would not have to live under tory austerity and it would set up a different direction of travel. is it not a yardstick of how appalling your party's campaign was that 40%

mr. corbyn and his allies will be trying to pounce and find weaknesses. over the next 24 hours, the prime minister will have to face first cabinet today and tomorrow. she'll have to face a 1922 committee later on, the back bench tory mps and try to reassure them, despite some of the key allies lost their seats in kensington and eastborn, that she is the right woman to take them forward. later in the week, we hear the mansion house speeches of mr. hammond, who thought he would lose it if may got an overwhelming mandate, he will make his speech and mr. carney as well, important in the brexit vote last year. then you have monday. monday the 19th. absolutely massive day. i will tell you why. one, you have the queen's speech. the queen's speech? who listens to that. listen to it. you want to see how much of the may/tory manifesto has been shredded and has even made it to the government plan for parliament and you have the small matter of the brexit negotiations starting. if you're confused on this side of the channel, can you imagine how they feel about it in

we heard earlierfrom mr corbyn and there was talk about trying to position labour in a place where theyent, but it's quite astonishing thatjeremy corbyn said we are ready to serve, because he felt that close to government. also interesting some labour sources are saying to me here, if theresa may has trouble with the dup, our ma nifesto has trouble with the dup, our manifesto and their manifesto, and some key issues are not far apart, the triple lock on pensions, scrapping the bedroom tax, they like that. to some extent, if theresa may has faltered today, and may yet fault, they may be ready to step in. but trying to get this progressive alliance put together, for want of a better term, the liberal democrats, the one green mp, they would still fall short. nevertheless, what jeremy corbyn has done, is effectively win another election. i know what to maghaberry prominent labour mps who are planning to launch a leadership challenge if jeremy corbyn had done much worse in these results. perhaps increase labour's share of the vote but lose seats. those challenges have been scrapped, so he ha
