those six parties, you are illustrating one of our key themes about this election, which is that ifjeremy corbyn emerges as the leader of the largest party onjune 9th, the uk will be governed by a coalition of chaos. what would i say about the overall verdict? there was no clear winner and there was no clear loser. jeremy corbyn did as he did in the channel a debate on sunday, he spoke from the heart on matters dear to him, food banks for example. amber rudd did what she did last year in the referendum debate, had some pre—packaged sound bites, one on the monopoly board that didn't quite work. but she stood up well against the six other parties and delivered her core message, which was the choice, who do you want to negotiate brexit? jeremy corbyn or theresa may? a bit of a question mark, because theresa may wasn't here. before this debate, yougov carried out another poll, and it makes pretty interesting reading tonight. that's right. a yougov poll in the times tomorrow suggests the conservative lead is now down to three points, 42 the conservative, 39 to labour. there is a dramatic tightening o

more voters might feel the same ifjeremy corbyn's promise to protect the fuel allowance and pensionsr tax and spending plans critics say don't add up. now he's hitting back. what she's done is caused a huge amount of anxiety, she hasn't said what level she's going to change it. we think the fuel allowance should be kept, and it will be kept under labour, and it will be universal. just one way for the snp full to go — right at theresa may. well, i think taking the winter fuel payment away from pensioners who have worked hard and paid in all their life is just wrong. you know, the winter fuel payment is not a king's ransom. not all tories south of scotland agree with mrs may on pensioners, on policies like social care. 0ne former minister told me they'd be opposing her, except there's an election on, and that's one reason it's happening. mrs may wants more backing for potentially unpopular decisions if public money gets tighter after brexit, and you can bet she'd hesitate to make risky promises if she wasn't so confident of winning. tories look upbeat about this campaign whether or not

parties are out in full campaigning force the tories are warning that voters face a tax bombshell ifjeremy corbyn wins. labour say that's a lie and pledge to halt tory moves to downgrade accident and emergency departments. plenty more coverage throughout the programme. plus portuguese detectives have told the bbc they never believed madeleine mccann was taken during a burglary which went wrong. it's ten years since the three—year—old disappeared. and claims that rules which limit the amount of time people can spend on bail won't actually make any difference. you feel like you've had a crime done to you by the state and there is no one to done to you by the state and there is no one to answer done to you by the state and there is no one to answer for it. and no apology. that full exclusive report before 10am. hello and welcome to the programme. we're live until 11am. throughout the morning, the latest breaking news and developing stories. a little later, we'll speak to some of the men in this photo. the m men all students at cambridge university have got together to prove that young black men can

given today that democracy had to begin again, ifjeremy corbyn had not addressed directly people'sfearss this week, people would have accused him of not living in the real world. he have accused him of not living in the realworld. he suggested have accused him of not living in the real world. he suggested the labour government would only intervene in limited circumstances. let me put it to you that is giving a free pass to our enemies, in effect saying it doesn't matter what you do we won't come after you. jeremy corbyn's words today, and he addressed them directly to the military, to the brave young men and women who put themselves in harms way on our behalf, his message was you will only be deployed abroad in foreign conflicts if there is clear need and when there is a plan. and those two principles seem to be wholly right. i think they will be well received by many, many in the military and by people in the country. only when there is a clear need and only with a plan. isn't it the reality that war is messy, unpredictable to rule out taking military action in all but limited circumst

that tax is not guaranteed for that, ifjeremy corbyn comes in as prime minister, and imposes that 596er from this country, people will do more in their way to avoid tax and people willjust simply shut up shop and they will move to a different country where it is more competitive. the figures jeremy corbyn has said are not guaranteed. i have given you a list of three avenues where that guarantee comes from. it is not a guarantee. it is guaranteed in a sense, in a sense where you have a list of three, corporation tax, tax avoidance and the top 5%, you can get that and it will cover the tuition fees. i don't think it is right that young people should leave university with such big debts. focusing on the low income argument, i come from an area where there is a lot of deprivation among young people, i do not think it isa among young people, i do not think it is a case of putting people off that come from low—income families, i'm from one myself, i managed to go to university because of the loan that they gave maintenance loan that they gave to me. i'm not saying they should take that away

and who knows, more voters might feel the same ifjeremy corbyn's announced to protect fuel allowance attacked for what is described as tax and spending. she has caused a huge amount of variety, she hasn't announced what level, we believe that winter fuel allowance will be keptin that winter fuel allowance will be kept in the labour and will be with universal. one way for the snp to 90, universal. one way for the snp to go, right at the mesa way. —— theresa may. i think it taking away from pensioners of fought hard all their lives, isjust from pensioners of fought hard all their lives, is just wrong. from pensioners of fought hard all their lives, isjust wrong. the winter fuel payment is not a king's ransom. not all tories south of scotla nd ransom. not all tories south of scotland agree with mrs may on policies like social care. 0ne former minister told the baby opposing her except there's an election. that is one reason it's happening. —— they would be opposing her. the reason may want public positions if money gets tight after brexit. she would make risky promises if she wasn't so

labour saying it will increase income tax for people earning at least £80,000 ifjeremy corbyn becomesssed also laying out plans to reform the laws on mental health. the sunday telegraph, i was leafing through to find a paper with a different story on the front, but the sunday telegraph going with that labour pledge to keep income tax as it is for workers under £80,000, and to ta ke it is for workers under £80,000, and to take a little bit more from workers on a higher wage bracket, over £80,000, and began prince harry at the polo. if you are just waking up at the polo. if you are just waking up this morning, open your window and maybe you can hear the dawn chorus. we will talk about whether you can tell the difference between these sounds, a thrush, robin or a blackbird. most of us can't, so we will teach you to recognise some of the most common birds. and we will have all the rest of the morning's headlines in ten minutes. but first, from the world's holiest city to one of the uk's most photographed landscapes. it's time for the travel show. coming up this week on the travel show: ra

ifjeremy corbyn has blood on his hands, theresa may is bathing in blood. may was leading the home office when she cut 20,000 police officers and 1300 armed officers and 26,000 support staff in community support officers. dominik, has that had an impact on 0fficers' ability to build trust within communities and therefore intelligence gatherer at local level? in terms of ordinary crime... no, i am asking specifically about intelligence gathering. in terms of counterterrorism police...” gathering. in terms of counterterrorism police... i am not asking about counterterrorism police, i am asking about the 20,000 fewer police officers and the 26,000 fewer police officers and the 26,000 fewer support staff. do you think that has had an impact on building trust within communities? yes or no? i don't think that is a simple question of pouring in more resources . question of pouring in more resources. no, it is about cutting resources . resources. no, it is about cutting resources. victoria, you have interrupted me. because you are not answering the question. let me

later we will be asking ifjeremy corbyn is right to link terrorist attacks with military action of themily of his own, but with no clues to his identity he spent decades searching for answers. now, thanks to the help ofjulia bell, a dna detective, robert has uncovered his family and has been united with his half—brother tommy and half—sister pat. he‘s joining us withjulia and tommy for the first time since their union. this is such an incredible story. let‘s go right back to the beginning, robert, if we can. how did you manage to getjulia‘s help and track down your siblings? 0k, it was basically my eldest daughter. we realised we had reached the end in terms of where we could go in terms of media searches and she came up terms of media searches and she came up with the idea of a facebook page and she popped back up and it started to attract attention and people started to look at it. julia was one of those people and got in touch with my eldest daughter and they had a conversation about what could be done. so, what information did you have about what had happened to you as a baby? what

corbyn so is trying to have his cake and eat it. he is saying things are not good, hinting by saying 200 seats, ifjeremy can't get that he might be out saying the manifesto is great. len isa saying the manifesto is great. len is a politician, he is acting like any politician would. dave, that is any politician would. dave, that is a hostage to fortune? it isa it is a bit of managing expectations. they always go below what they think it might be so that when they get more it looks good. if he does under 200 seats, it is even worse for them. stephen, do you believe that the clear plan now, barring a wipe—out, is forjeremy corbyn to stay on? yes, the leadership... no question about it? there is no doubt in my mind. some believe they can turn it around and go on to win, but you do not give up the keys to the castle willingly is they're lying. but people are underestimating lent when he thinks that labour will get 200. i would be very worried if i was in the leader's office and i was seeing len mccluskey say, you have got to get 200 to be a success. i do not believe for a moment len mccluskey believes they are on course to get 200 seats,

ifjeremy corbyn wins this election, what will be the magnitude of the challenge that he has overcome?both the swing in votes he has achieved, but also, of course, the programme and the things he has said he would do. it would be enormous and would have great repercussions in the market and elsewhere if he were to win. this is a very key election, and the alternative outcomes, conservative victory and labour victory, are more extremely different than at any election in my lifetime. you've recently joined twitter, where everything has to be said in 140 characters. if you had to sum up your election prediction in 140 characters or thereabouts, what would it be? oh, i think it would be "the conservatives will win, but by nothing like the margin they were expecting to win by two weeks ago". sir david, thank you very much indeed. round about mo, he was counting. so onjune 9th, will we look back and think this was the week that changed everything? or will this have been a momentary blip — albeit it in tragic circumstances — that actually did little to shift peoples voting opinions. let's ask

ifjeremy corbyn could wave a magic wand, he would not be producing this exact document, it commits arenewing trident nuclear deterrent after he failed to change party policy, but the leaked versions do encapsulate his key beliefs about the need for a massive programme of public investment, the gradual nationalisation of hezbollah but railways and other state intervention. labour were forced to finalise the manifesto at short notice but this did not have the feel of something scribble out on the back of a packet. the details will be set out to you including the costings for the pledges and promises that we make. chief strategists have been working on the document sincejeremy corbyn‘s election last year, after becoming convinced the prime minister would go to the polls. 0ne early supporter, he became disillusioned withjeremy corbyn, was impressed. i do think the manifesto in terms of its key policies and the vision, because people generally do not vote on individual policies, a vision about realising this country's great potential, not being held back because of vested interests and in
