chris page, bbc news, belfast.cover, through your voice your vote. jacqueline wood, who lives ten miles from here in lisburn, contacted us about the issue of support for those caring for people with learning difficulties. our correspondent colletta smith went to meet her. hello, jacqueline. sometimes the quietest people can have the most powerful voices. jacqueline's one of them — a full—time carer for her daughter emma, who has special needs. she knows everyone. she's just a wonderful person. do you want to say hello to coletta? why did you contact us? because absolutely nobody is talking about the learning disabled. jacqueline only gets half her allocated hours of home support because of a constant battle for staff. they're the most vulnerable people in society from the day they are born until the day they die, and they have to put them into a special category, and to pay a special category salary to the people who are doing such a good job caring for them. if they don't do that, they will never solve the problem

and that can only be good for belfast, right?you know well, southampton, where the titanic set sail from. when politicians go to southampton, they don't go, "oh, terrible choice. "you know, that's where the titanic set off and its ill fated maiden voyage". no, but then there's also a titanic museum in southampton. and i've got to say, i haven't seen that many politicians visit it. so, i mean, read into what you want from that, but maybe itjust hasn't got the kind of, i don't know, the status of the belfast. what next? a politician's seen with ice in their drink, and you know, "oh you know it was ice that sunk the titanic — another terrible rishi suna k�*s staffers". ice—free drinks and no ships in sight. that's the way that you're going to get through an election campaign anyway. sarah, good luck getting through the next few days and the election campaign in northern ireland, and thanks for bringing us up to date. thank you. you too. newscast from the bbc. welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore, i'm steve lai. the head

good morning to you from belfast. let me do a bit of. you from belfast.ic. this is a big part of northern ireland's story and history. but the titanic quarter is very much a part of the future. you've got residential, you've got businesses, leisure activities, lots of film and tv production facilities, who hasn't heard of the worldwide hit game of thrones? lots of people come here to northern ireland to see the locations where that has been filmed over here. so, this is part of one of europe's biggest urban regeneration projects. so, very much about the future. but what about the future of politics here, and the issues that matter to the voters? joining me to talk about that are the northern ireland editor of the belfasttelegraph and a columnist for the irish news. good to see you both. sam, what are the big issues voters are talking about? i think that there is a sense that this is— i think that there is a sense that this is an — i think that there is a sense that this is an unusually consequential, bil this is an unusually consequential, big election fo

and from belfast to bolton. kevin...which went blue for the first time in decades in 2019. 60% of people here had voted for brexit. they rang the bells on the town hall to celebrate. it was boris johnson's promise to get that done alongside his pledge to level—up areas like this where many residents struggle to make ends meet which helped him sweep to victory. five years on though, the immigration they worried about continues upwards as do cost of living pressures and while a few multi—million pound �*levelling up' cash to spruce up this town centre have now begun filtering through, there's a feeling that the promise it could mean transformational change just hasn't materialised. the conservative mp here, mark logan, recently announced he wouldn't be standing again and actually intends to vote labour at this election. he'd won in 2019 with a majority ofjust 378, making it one of the most marginal in the country, so it wouldn't take many of his former constituents to revert back to labour to see the party retake this seat

we will be back in belfast for that manifesto launch later.n. and today they are in the conservative constituency of north herefordshire, which has seen some minor boundary changes since the last election. let's speak to bbc radio 4's evan davis who is in lem5ter. a stunning backdrop where you are. tell us why you are in this constituency today.- tell us why you are in this constituency today. tell us why you are in this constituen toda . ., ., constituency today. how lucky am i to be here in _ constituency today. how lucky am i to be here in lemster_ constituency today. how lucky am i to be here in lemster in _ constituency today. how lucky am i to be here in lemster in north - to be here in lemster in north herefordshire on a sunny day? a beautiful backdrop at the mcenroe grange. you ask why i am here, broadcaster5 love to go around the country during election campaigns. we did something slightly different, we said, let's pick them at random, we said, let's pick them at random, we have a tombola, and we churn out five 5eat5 we have a tombola

sara girvin is in the titanic quarter, which is in the belfast east constituency. starting to ramp up here. the general election in northern ireland will look slightly different because you won't see those battles between labour and the conservatives. labour doesn't stand candidates here. while there is a northern ireland conservative party, they tend to take a tiny percentage of the votes. the battles will be between the local political parties. we heard from gavin robinson. this constituency in east belfast looks like an interesting battle between him, the incumbent mp, and trying to unseat him will be naomi long, the leader of the alliance party. in terms of issues being considered by voters here in northern ireland, the cost of living is a massive one, as it is across the rest of the uk. the constitutional issue also, whether northern ireland remains as part of the uk or leads to form a united ireland, and how people feel about that, does affect how they vote. lots in the mix here in northern ireland and just ten days to wait to see how it all pans out. thank y

but with more cloud across northern ireland, we will fall to around 10 degrees in belfast.low pressure still towards the norwegian sea there, bringing northern—westerly winds into the country. we start off with quite a bit of sunshine. scotland, england and wales, cloudy skies for northern ireland, southwest scotland, in towards north—west england, north wales. and that cloud, with splashes of rain, will spill south—eastwards through the day. so it will turn cloudy across much of england and wales, probably the best of the sunshine across the far southwest, and the northern half of scotland doing pretty well, with sunny spells. but there will be blustery showers here and a cooler day to come, i think, because of more cloud around — temperatures of about 12 to 17 degrees. as we move through sunday night, that area of rain splashes across the irish sea, into much of england and wales, becomes confined to southern and eastern areas by the end of the night. so where we have the cloud and the rain, then, a less cold night here, 10 to 12 degrees under clearer skies. further north

friday's tv debate also prompted a question from a number of viewers articulated here by andrew from belfastsought an answer from bbc news and they told us: the number of competing and contested claims being made by politicians during this election campaign makes it hard to work out what is accurate. thatjob is made considerably harder by the phenomenon of fake videos — images and quotes being circulated online. take for instance this appearance by labour's wes streeting on bbc two's politics live last week. what she did was wrong and what she said was wrong and it was right there was a disciplinary process. she apologised repeatedly. but it took five months... it did take a while, but look... if you didn't hear wes streeting describe dianne abbott there as a "silly woman", that is because he didn't. but a doctored version of his comments on the programme was widely shared on x, which made it sound as though mr streeting did say those words under his breath. the fake video was supported by a number of comments, endorsing it, including one from someone claiming to work on politics live. meanw

our ireland correspondent chris page was at sinn fein�*s manifesto launch in belfast — he gave us thisnks has served it very well in elections here in northern ireland over the last few years. in 2022, it became the largest party in the devolved assembly. the party's vice president, michelle o'neill, has now become northern ireland's first ever nationalist first minister. also, last year, sinn fein became the largest party in local councils here. so, neither sinn fein is defending seven of northern ireland's 18 westminster seats. the manifesto that has been published this afternoon is concise — nine pages long, no huge departures from anything the party has been saying before. it wants more powers transferred from westminster to belfast — for example, it wants the devolved administration at stormont to be able to make decisions over progressive taxation and the level of the national minimum wage. it wants the british and irish governments to set a date for a referendum on irish unity. that is sinn fein�*s ultimate aim. worth saying that both labour and the conservatives have said that
