the 155 said in the tory manifesto that austerities heartbeat.te change is so important now that we cannot allow them to get back. everyone will have a view on borisjohnson. he has been in public life. the idea that he is perhaps not as trustworthy at sea should be, people will have formed their views. making this an issue in their views. making this an issue in the last days of the campaign, will this have an impact? is not me making it an issue. it's his own political partner in arlene foster. the real issues for us is to make sure we will sort brexit out. you can't trust a word boris johnson is sent over brexit. we know he can't do the deal in that timeframe. it takes years. he is threatening a no—deal brexit once again. the other matters, the nhs is in crisis. school budgets have been cut year after year. police removed from the streets. all sessions are coming to the fore in this debate now. the existential threat of climate change. there were children have taught us what a threat that is. if we don't address that in this general election, i

austerity.eople ask what you learn asa and when people ask what you learn as a politician, the thing i remember because i was a politician in the 19805, 4 million people unemployed. when we went into this financial crisis ten years ago, people were predicting we could have seen mass people were predicting we could have 5een ma55 unemployment in this country again. so people had a wage freeze. ye5, country again. so people had a wage freeze. yes, there were cut5. all of that was designed to ensure we did not have millions of people in this country out of work. in that sense, we did not. we have a record number of people in work today. we got through this financial crisis with people staying in work. the question, though, was, in the future... now as we come out of austerity, with the best growth rate, one of the best in europe, with low interest rates, low inflation, as we come out of the eu and seekto inflation, as we come out of the eu and seek to maximise the opportunities that come from that,

the end —— the ambition, to have aspirations, to have ambition, the austerity that we have suffered indecades here, 2010 and the tories, since labour is been in power since 1997. something has to change and thatis 1997. something has to change and that is what people saw with the brexit vote but something has to change and there was nothing that is often the politicians other than catchphrases. and nothing that is saw from them and will have to do it ourselves. we have a lot to get to the next half hour tom from the liberal democrats, and also from the s&p, nice to see you. i should talk about who was on stage tonight because they said that the offset of this campaign, denied the two men on the stage of the best chance of walking to the door. the stage of the best chance of walking to the doorlj the stage of the best chance of walking to the door. i thinkjo swinson was entitled to be a part of the debate in which he would have done is represent the 16 million people that would've voted remained there were not represented in that debate and the impact of the brexit vote and leaving the

on austerity.reinstate funding that has been lost to legal aid? we have said we will spend more on the criminal justice system said we will spend more on the criminaljustice system and that's asa criminaljustice system and that's as a result of nine years of economic growth with a high level of employment, the highest levels of employment, the highest levels of employment since records began. and food banks and child poverty. as a result of that strong economy we can invest more in our public services and that will be in the criminal justice system. is it specifically legal aid? criminaljustice more broadly and we will certainly invest more money. that's not a yes to legal aid at the moment. 20,000 police officers and education. disregard it if you will... it's important to have clarity to the question. we can only afford to do this as a country if we have a strong economy. if we risk that by having an old —fashioned, strong economy. if we risk that by having an old—fashioned, far left labour gover

on austerity, on investment, on inequality and on the national health service and we can see how we forcehe terrain to shift. but boris johnson's predicting a positive future. i do not think it vainglorious or impossible to say that a new golden age for this united kingdom is now in reach. mid—morning, the queen set off from buckingham palace for the state opening of parliament, a ceremony she's more than familiar with, having taken part in it 66 times during her reign. but having done the whole thing just ten weeks ago ahead of the election, this was an altogether more dressed—down affair than usual. instead of a horse—drawn carriage, this time, a waiting car carried the queen the short distance along the mall and down to houses of parliament. arriving with less than the usual pomp at the sovereign‘s entrance. and this time, there was no changing into the state robes and crown. the queen sticking with her day dress and hat for this morning's ceremony. the queen processed through the lords, accompanied as she has been in recent years by prince charles, who will one day take on the role. t

have the worst rehabilitation rate for institutionalized offenders in the western world and tory austerity we've seen the budgets for the prison service been slashed and slashed in the service been degraded over and over again we see an increased requirement for the british state to sell out to us corporations who get this mass industrialized prison program in place and as a result we see an overpopulated prison population we see under-resourced and i don't think you're going to get rid of the paper between me and on this issue the system has failed him there is enough to say there are enough discretionary measures. within the judicial system to pick this up but like so many attacks like in france like in belgium and batman across europe these post isis post liberal post in lighten if you like terror attacks happening on home soil they've often come from homegrown terrorists radicals criminals whatever you like to call them but they have been institutional failures within the security system now as a somebody was formally counter-terror counter radicalisation advisor to the government i wo

elect the tories you carry on with austerity, you carry on with increasing gaps between the richest and carry on with underfunded schools, oversized classes and increasing numbers of rough sleeping homelessness. we are very clear. we have a totally funded and costed manifesto. the only party that has in this election. and it will give real hope and opportunity to everyone in this country. good morning. good morning, philip, good morning, holly. 0n the this morning sofa, boris johnson hoping his message on brexit will convince a daytime tv audience. if we get a working majority ofjust nine seats more we can be out on january the 30th. and how long will the trade deals take? well... years? no. we can get — we can do many new deals with countries around the world. with the eu we can build a new trade partnership by the end of next year. the snp telling voters in scotland they've gotjust a week to stop borisjohnson and to stop brexit. the lib dems leader was stopped yesterday by extinction rebellion activists who surrounded jo swinson‘s campaign bus. but her supporters say the campaign is s

that extra revenue to support a new state spending an effort to reverse the pain of recent years austerity cuts the country's fiscal situation remains dire with melting debt and high inflation and that leaves the government little room for mistake. currency exchange offices in buenos iris are crowded as more and more argentinians rush to convert their money into u.s. dollars and euros before the new 30 percent tax on foreign currency purchases takes effect it's not the only tax increase imposed by the new left leaning government personal property levies will increase too as will taxes on exports of farm products the government said it will use part of the revenue to boost social spending pensioners for instance will get a bonus of $160.00 to be paid out in 2 trenches in december and january. this is about stopping the argentine economy from falling while we protect those we can't ask mall from and once again tina stops falling and based on the new policies we will make argentina rise again gotten. the government of president out there to fernandez took office last week he had promised vote

interesting is that the word austerity doesn't really approve till you make appear in this.here is more nuance in the story that should come out that, it is not saying that the bbc is hysterical or andrew neil is hysterical but a very experienced televised editor of bbc and channel five and also with great bbc heritage, they have both been very critical of broadcasters over playing role in this sense of that is not to say that politicians should not be brought to account, but suddenly i heard the interview that they gave to the bbc today and there suggesting the empty chairs andi there suggesting the empty chairs and i agree with him on this is that there is a development that is not helping elucidate really on the issues and in doing that, broadcasters are in danger of putting themselves in the to the debate —— into the debate. putting themselves in the to the debate -- into the debate. also failing to show up and when someone refuses the invitation.|j failing to show up and when someone refuses the invitation. i believe it becomes apparent that they have done that they're

the budget which ends austerity once and for all. this is the budget that will save the nhs.ervices the tories have brought to their knees. a budget that will put money in people's pockets, with a real living wage of £10 per hour. money to fix the worst aspects of universal credit, while we design its full replacement. a 5% pay rise for public sector workers after years of pay freezes. and yes, the waspi compensation scheme, which will be established through legislation, and we will also introduce the legislation that will scrap tuition fees once and for all. in scotland, the issue of independence will be critical in determining how people vote. speaking on good morning britain earlier snp leader nicola sturgeon urged people to stop boris by voting snp. in every single one of the tory seats in scotland, the snp is the main challenger. so if people don't want to wake up on friday morning to five years of a borisjohnson majority government, they have got to vote snp on thursday, to help stop that happening. all of these other discussions are important. i have been very clear an

jeremy corbyn says it's about ending years of tory austerity. carry on with austerity, you carry on with increasing gaps between the richest and the poorest. so we have seven days to do it, seven days to get brexit done, seven days to end the deadlock. as labour intensifies its accusation of bbc bias in its coverage of the campaign, senior presenter andrew neil issues this challenge to the prime minister. questions we would like to put to mrjohnson, so you can hear his replies.

but while the corporations got tax forgiveness the poor got austerity no wonder at all same 2 months of protests we look at how the government of lending moreno seemingly got it so wrong also this week shinzo a novel longest serving prime minister japan's ever seen and that is quite the achievement to look at the economic policy that bears his name and whether it's enabled japan to recover from its last decades and in the fight against climate change we meet the scientists in california working on genetically modifying plants to help soak up greenhouse down. there is right now a rebellion in latin america against inequality austerity and the politics of more of the same it's not dissimilar to uprisings elsewhere springing from what looked like the most innocuous of changes think about chile and we looked at it a few weeks ago in fact where the rise of train fares led to street protests which then morphed into calls for an end to neo liberalism the idea of leaving everything to the markets and then there were the countries who went looking for help in argentina a sitting president was

but obviously there‘s a lot of focus on austerity, boris johnson‘s very keen to say i have only been have been in charge for a decade. so he‘s very keen to try and distance himself from that and say we‘re going to be much tougher on crime, much tougher on crime. but also, i don‘t think labour can hold their heads high on this either because there are lots of surveys saying the public, a lot of surveys saying the public, a lot of the public, a very, very worried about the idea ofjeremy corbyn being in downing street because he has after of sided with a number of terrorist organisations over the yea rs, terrorist organisations over the years, the ira,, the list goes on. he sided with a lot of our enemies, people will say. he‘s not to keep british people safe by quite a lots of the voting public, i would say. catherine, briefly if you would, how do the parties then move forward given that, like i say we are just ahead of a general election but we have had an absolute tragedy take place once again on the streets of london? —— katherine. place once again on the streets of london? -- kathe

on this program we cover austerity and this is set in in england you know we cover things 130000 people dead because of universal credit and so what this relationship breakdown you joy but money where do they get the money from the money does the the entrant no i mean i century that they're middle class. and it wasn't a film that really goes into. class very much is very much a look it's the dynamics of a relationship. they both relatively successful working in the fashion industry. we see her start at university and then she ends up becoming a fashion producer and he is a photographer's assistant and just this is the metropolitan elite the boris johnson and. the dollar trump they talk about i have i mean i'm not sure if there should we even care about i mean when you watch it the film obviously one sympathises usually with the characters is propaganda for the middle class making has care about the people that huge swathes of this country she is the enemy well i think they're the enemy i think they're kind of the artistic class those are the kind of people who. would be out in the on th

there is right now a rebellion in latin america against inequality austerity and the politics of more of the same it's not dissimilar to uprisings elsewhere springing from what looked like the most innocuous of changes think about chile and we looked at it a few weeks ago in fact where the rise of train fares led to street protests which then morphed into calls for an end to neo liberalism the idea of leaving everything to the markets and then there were the countries who went looking for help in argentina a sitting president was voted out of power in a protest over all sterile measures imposed by the international monetary fund it was a condition of a 50 $7000000000.00 bailout and in ecuador it was the i.m.f. and volvo. which forced the president and cabinet to escape the capital quito ecuador is a fascinating case it requested a $4200000000.00 loan from the i.m.f. and a condition of that was to cut the budget deficit so the government decided to cut the fuel subsidies which were costing $1300000000.00 a year now by the numbers it makes sense but when you cut subsidies people general

austerity seems to at least be halted. johnson promises a golden age for britain.ade by the folder —— former liberal democratic leader that says one of the mistakes they made is that they we re the mistakes they made is that they were too negative and they gave the conservatives the opportunity to own the future, be optimistic about the future, about what britain could achieve which meant they did not have to talk about the austerity of the past nine years. politically it could have been quite debatable and actually too much combination of sanctimonious negativity made it less attractive for the opposition rather than to vote for a man who promise an optimistic future. even when you dissect the slogan of get brexit done and i know the words aren't the whole thing but it is forward moving, it is active, it is showing some sort of action and movement and, of course, even where the statements are not the same. it does not encapsulate the absolute bottom of stagnation and wanting to move on and get on with things. there were lots of problems with the liberal democratic

but i would just say obviously there‘s a lot of focus on austerity, borisjohnson‘s very keen to say ibeen in charge for a decade. so he‘s very keen to try and distance himself from that and say we‘re going to be much tougher on crime, much tougher on crime. but also, i don‘t think labour can hold their heads high on this either because there are lots of surveys saying the public, a lot of the public, a very, very worried about the idea ofjeremy corbyn being in downing street because he has after of sided with a number of terrorist organisations over the years, the ira, hamas, you know, the list goes on. he‘s sided with a lot of our enemies, lots of people will say. he‘s not to keep british people safe by quite a lot of the voting public, i would say. that was katherine forster from the sunday times speaking to kasia madera a little earlier. you‘re watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: former wales rugby captain gareth thomas talks to prince harry in an interview to mark world aids day. it‘s quite clear that the worst victims of this disaster are the poor people

david: finally, you mention austerity., when a government such as the mexican government deals with austerity, it is because they are concerned about inflation, wants to keep monetary policy loose. have they got inflation under control? is there a problem with cutting rates going into the new year? antonio: i believe they have cut down to 7.5%. there was dissent within the central bank as to whether there should be more aggressive cuts. but i think you have seen pretty much the limits. certainly, additional cuts may provide more stimulus, but i seen the have pre-much limits to the impact of their monetary policy. on the fiscal side, the resources are not there to be spending more. i think it'll be an interesting tor as he manages austerity see how this administration reevaluates their commitment to how they also and address those underlying concerns of the domestic investor, the mexican business community as it relates to security and violence that i think are real concerns of the smaller and medium size businesses. many t

most people agree we need to be spending a little bit more in that austerity has now gone too far. that's pretty much the conventional narrative across the piece politically now. but that's a result ofjeremy corbyn because we are conclusively agree we need to move away from austerity deftly not the case in 2015. so, as a country and in terms of the discourse move substantially to the left on a lot of policy and that's showing up in whatjohnson is saying and we will see if it shows up in what he is doing as well. it will be interesting, i agree, what he is doing as well. it will be interesting, iagree, the what he is doing as well. it will be interesting, i agree, the most likely situation for a non—londoner and a woman as well, but then a lot of people might be fearing that actually that will be pretty much the same policies as we have just had, and which did not work for the country. whether by delivering the same message with a different messenger it will work i don't know. the tories i think, and the tory media which of course has quite a big influence i suspect we'll be looking

the labour party's point of view is very much that this is as a result of almost a decade of austeritylicing and the probation service, and jeremy corbyn focus on that line of attack as a result of what we have seen in the past couple of days with this terrorist attack. he was asked on sky news whether he thought that convicted terrorists should serve a full sentence. it depends on the circumstances, it depends on the sentence, but crucially, depends on what they have done in prison... so, not necessarily then? no, not necessarily, no. i think there has to be an examination of how our prison services work and crucially what happens when someone is released from prison. because i need to know whether or not the parole board were involved in his release. apparently, they were not. they make that statement quite quickly after yesterday's terrible incident. secondly, there was apparently no probation service involvement in monitoring this former prisoner who after all had only served half a sentence and he came out i think a year ago and there has to be an examination of what goes on in th

i urge them to think for a moment, think for a moment, at the reality of what nine years of austerity the people of this country. what happened do your party that the most successful labour prime minister in history cannot back you to move into number ten? i am fighting this election to win it, to win it on our ma nifesto, election to win it, to win it on our manifesto, to win it on our ma nifesto manifesto, to win it on our manifesto which i believe will bring real hope to those people that have been denied it during these years of austerity. isn't the tomahawk missile many voters think there is an impossible choice, they don't wa nt an impossible choice, they don't want either of you in number ten?|j hope very much people will vote for a one nation conservative government and get brexit done, i think if you look at our agenda, it is positive, programme si, it will unite the country, involve massive investment in public services and take us forward. our government will empower people, not leave anybody behind. that is the whole principle, the golden thread that runs through the ma ni

is that a good idea or a bad idea >> fiscal austerity is always a good idea.talk about all the problems associated with fiscal austerity are really nonsense, rick the key thing is money money dominates the growth and changes in the growth of the money supply will effect first asset prices then the real economy and then inflation and then interest rates. interest rates are at the back of the bus interest rates follow growth in the money supply not the other way around and so if you look at the thing, for example, even in the united states, the 1990s, who was the most austere president in the post-world war ii history of the united states? bill clinton he actual will i ran a couple of years of fiscal surpluses. the economy boomed why did it boom? because of money supply boom and if you look at the situation right now, it's very interesting. the money supply broadly measured by m-4, a major calculated by the center for financial stability in new york, it's growing at 7.4% per year right now. last year at this time it was only growing at 3.4% so we had more than d

offering it would have run the economy into a ditch a lot faster than boris's the reason why we had austerity was because it back in 2008 the bank of england decided to bail out our banks and that's when the currency dropped 34 percent so that's why we have austerity because they cut back on the spending and that's why they cut the police force by 22000 that's why they implemented all these other cuts and then you have an increase you've got an increase in the population and a decrease in the services so that's going to end in disaster and then the the new . media kept pounding and pounding away crash out brags it no deal brags it yet crash out brags it brags it brags it so people were fed up and exhausted and he came up with the perfect soundbite created in america get brags it done i'm going to get it done it's oven baked so they just said ok get it done and get it off the plate let's move forward the problem and a bigger issue is he's promised a magnificent economic recovery which is just not going to happen and people are going to realize down the road i don't know if there is a year when

austerity? this is our story tonight.g that this political row was going on but it is clear with the experts are siding, against the government, they are pointing to prison patient cuts. yesterday we had a former crown prosecutor who said three years ago he personally warned the prime minister that there was no serious effort to de—radicalised prisoners. he was not prime minister at the time. but he became prime minister. he was warned that that was being i’ui'i. he was warned that that was being run. and according to this prosecutor there was no money. today, we had a man who led a review of the threat in prisons from extremists for the government, he said most of the recommendations we re said most of the recommendations were condensed rather than properly implemented, and he had extraordinary criticism, he talks about crazy austerity cuts at the heart of it, the destruction of the prison and the probation service being at the heart of it, he said ministers reaped what they sowed. do you have knowledge of some of those

it's not so long back that we had austerity, and then austerity gave way to the magic money tree, therest and it's... where is this money going to come from? you don't believe a word anyone says? no. and he was voting tory. here in labour wakefield, you can see how thinking has changed. jeremy corbyn i think is the best thing that's happened to the labour party, but, but, iam not voting labour this time because they have not promised to come out of europe. simple as that. so you're going to vote for someone else? liberal democrats. what do you say to him? he's not going to vote labour. he's stupid, he's very stupid. we don't want silly old boris in at all! just here, you can see that ties to parties have broken down and the old loyalties to parties, whether its regional or whether it's by class, they were breaking down even before brexit came along and swept them away. enjoy your lunch. even a town like wakefield — labour since the 1930s — could change colour. and as for brexit, most people tend to tell pollsters now they'd rather remain. respect for the referendum, yes, but this nati

think for a moment on what nine years of austerity has done it to the people of this country.f course, brexit, the question of our times. can you guarantee it will happen next year? how will we be better off under the brexit deal compared to what we already have? we will negotiate a leave agreement with the eu within three months that will protect trade and jobs and the peace process in northern ireland. we will put that alongside remain in a referendum within six months and that will be the end of the matter. everybody on the labour front bench is campaigning to remain apart from mr corbyn who is neutral on the matter, so who is going to secure this deal? how can you get a deal from brussels for brexit if you don't actually believe in it? that is the mystery. he will walk out of a relationship with the eu into relationship with nobody and that is where the chaos will come. what is your answer to that? that shows a slight ignorance of the reality. what of labour claims that the tory‘s brexit deal would hurt northern ireland? i find it curious to say the least to be lectured ab

on austerity, corporate power, the climate, and inequality, he claims labour won the argument but thatick fix to overcome voter distrust. i have been shocked and appalled... two women who may compete to succeed him — birmingham mp, jess phillips, and the wigam mp, lisa nandy, set out their stalls today. ms phillips urges people tojoin labour in order to change it. a clear signal she'd move away from the corbyn agenda. while lisa nandy says the party has lost touch with the day—to—day lives of the people it wishes to represent. party officials will have initial discussions next week in drawing up a timetable for electing a new leader. iain watson, bbc news. with me is our political correspondent tony bonsignore. first of all, labour, an apology of sorts from jeremy corbyn today? he ta kes sorts from jeremy corbyn today? he takes personal responsibility for it very explicitly but when you read what has been written in the papers today, he put a video on social media, there is not that much apologising going on but what he saysis apologising going on but what he says is our manifesto was

but it is also about the poverty that has been imposed on this country because of austerity.ich local government cuts have fed through all over the uk because of underfunding. the way in which high street have been decimated, that sense of community has often gone as a result of it. it is about investment for the future. but it is also about the money that is spent in port working class communities, where the spending power has been reduced by 20, 20 5% over the past ten years. 0bviously 20, 20 5% over the past ten years. obviously if people have got less money to spend, the cornershop, the hairdressers, the cafe and all that are going to do less well. and so it is about raising living standards and raising wages in britain. and so we other party that the national minimum wage in1997 we other party that the national minimum wage in 1997 and i'm so proud that we did that. and i remember, when that bill was put before parliament after that election, the tories kept us up all night, all night trying to defeat this piece of legislation, to introduce the principle of a national mi

he says the ma nifesto change and austerity.opular but labour we re manifesto was popular but labour were hit hard by brexit. he also attacked the media as well for the ferocious attacks on him personally. you can read this as a rallying cry to corbynite supporters to what comes next, about the future direction of the party. what he has had to say today hasn't gone down well in some quarters. jess phillips today, who will throw her hat into today, who will throw her hat into to become labour leader, we think, says that too many people are obsessed with the party rather than winning power. then anotherfigure today, lisa nandy, very popular in some parts of the party, she has also written an article that labour has lost touch with the day—to—day worries of voters. she has also spoken to the bbc in the last half—an—hour or so and this is what she said when asked if she was considering standing as leader. well, the honest answer is that i'm seriously thinking about it. the reason i'm thinking about it is because we've just had the m

the most serious cases stayed in a justice system badly undermined by austerity cuts, a failure to recruittfalls with staff supervising more cases than ever expected. posing again a serious risk to our security. you cannot keep people safe on the cheap. labour is also promising an additional 22,000 police officers. that follows an earlier conservative pledge to recruit an additional 20,000. but those numbers do need to be seen in context. we have had a 22,000 reduction in police officers. we've had an 18,500 reduction in police staff. so if you look at that, the majority of the reduction has been in neighbourhood policing. so what has been pledged by both main parties will only restore more or less the police numbers in place before the austerity cuts. now liberal democrats as well say investing in community policing is at the top of their promises on law and order. they are promising £1 billion, enough to recruit two new police officers in every ward and give all police men and women a two percent rise. as for the other parties, policing is devolved in scotland and northern ireland but al

they have done very very well in the years of austerity, while communities all over the country have paid for it. both leaders also made their case to voters on public services and the nhs. president trump said many times people pay too little for us medicines around the world and that is the kind of agenda of the prime minister wants to get involved with. we believe in the nhs, free at the point of use and under no circumstances will we sell it off to anybody. millions will have watched but how many will have changed their mind? we are live in the aftermath of the debate in maidstone. we'll get the reaction of voters in ipswich, to get their response to tonight's debate. also on the programme... described as britain's worst sex offender — joseph mccann is found guilty of kidnapping and mutliple rapes. he'd been released from prison, by mistake. jason mccann is a horrendously dangerous individual, who has shown complete contempt for his victims. he is clearly one of the most dangerous sex offenders we have ever seen in this country. the teenager who threw a six—year—old boy from the
