itv has said the debate will go ahead as planned. go now until the election. our chief political correspondent vicki young has been looking at some of the key parts of the uk that will determine its outcome. the last parliament was one of the most volatile, the government lost more votes than ever before and more mps changed party than since the early ‘80s. when parliament stopped for the general election, the conservatives had 298 mps. labour, 243. the snp had 35. there were 2a independents and 20 liberal democrats. 326 is the magic number needed for an absolute majority. the bbc has been tracking how each of the parties have polled this year, with the lines here showing trends. the conservatives have seen an increase since august, now up to around a0%, with the brexit party down to 8%. labour are currently averaging about 29% and the liberal democrats 15%. this, of course, is a national picture. it's impossible to predict how this will translate into local results and, of course, doesn't factor in people who haven't yet decided. no

a new streaming service is launching today, backed by the bbc and itv., as well as new programmes. itv‘s reemah sakaan explained how she thought britbox would stand out against the likes of netflix, amazon and apple tv plus: for that story and more, breakfast is coming up at six o'clock with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. they'll have all the day's news, business and sport. this is the briefing from bbc news. the latest headlines. us prosecutors have charged two former twitter employees with spying for saudi arabia... it's claimed they targeted critics of the saudi government and royal family. doctors in chile say nearly 200 people have been treated for severe eye injuries caused by police action against protesters. us congressional democrats have announced they'll begin public hearings on impeaching president trump next wednesday. now it's time to look at the stories that are making the headlines in the media across the world(gfx we begin with the guardian who lead with the resignation of labour deputy leader tom watson. the paper says new questions

under the spotlight since the conservative party entered this area for last week's leaders‘ debate on itv reported. looking online, what to take at face value? last night, a brief reprint of a conservative party twitter —— last night, a brief rebrand of a conservative party twitter account to fact check uk. the conservatives say it was still clear who is running the account, but one senior labour figure says twitter should have taken it down. well, undeterred by self—styled entrances into the fact—checking market, chris morris from bbc reality check is with me now. thank you for making the time. hi, some error. —— hi, samira. has this election already been particularly angry and more contentious, when it comes to doing reality check? yeah, probably. elections are always times when there's a lot of attention on exactly what politicians say — a lot of numbers come out and manifestos. this election is seen as one of the most important for decades. so there's been an awful lot to check, and what we try basically is if we see things received politicians have either misspoken or said something

the guardian features boris johnson and jeremy corbyn in tonight's leaders' debate on itv, with brexit agenda. the independent features its exclusive story on the failings at shrewsbury and telford nhs trust. the metro also leads on the maternity scandal — as well as reaction to tonight's tv debate, as a poll says it was a narrow win for borisjohnson 51% to 49%. prince andrew is on the front of the mirror — the newspaper says police notebooks could hold key information relating to allegations made against the duke of york. let us plunge in and inevitably, we're going to start with the debate. where else could we start? for most people, they may have already been decided about what they think about whether or not they're going to backjeremy corbyn urbach borisjohnson but going to backjeremy corbyn urbach boris johnson but i going to backjeremy corbyn urbach borisjohnson but i think what is particularly interesting, for me least, is that borisjohnson was openly laughed at when he talked about how this is going to be an election based on the truth. but probably unexpected was that the con

the audience here and all the questions have been preprepared if you like, all sent in in advance to itvt because they want to sift through if you like the political views of those sending women so political views of those sending women so they do not have any advantage for one side of the other. so not sure it necessarily on this occasion that public participation will ignite a row. but i think what we have to listen out for is how well some of those answers go down. in 2015 in the question time sessions i remember ed miliband was wrong—footed by someone asking about the labour spending fan —— plans and that got a very negative reaction on the night. and to some extent it will be those kind of moments that people look out for. what does it say about the character and fitness to be prime minister especially since both have been criticised not just by other parties but some people inside their own parties as well. and of course we do not yet know what question the public will ask. but they venture into boris johnson's personal life for example, and pick at labour and their vulnerabilities

but we will try to get our communication sorted in time for the sort of that debate on itv at eight o'clockh us throughout the evening including of course for the paper reviews later this evening and joining meat will be lord digby jones who is the former trade minister and always opinionated and don foster of the guardian. before that time for sportsday. hello, i'm olly foster, here's what's coming up on sportsday. it's a big night for bale and wales...win and they are off to the euros again, we'll be live in cardiff injust a moment. scotla nd scotland and northern ireland also playing tonight, it is the play—offs for both of them and we will try to explain the path that lies ahead. hurricane hannah is back only two more world titles, she tells us about her road to tokyo. and also coming up, we find out how social media sort rachel miller make it into the winners enclosure this afternoon at linfield. good evening. it's a sell—out at the cardiff city stadium tonight becasue wales can book their place at next summer's european championship. beat hungary and they are there. let's cross live t

i was struck, during the itv debate between the two of them the other night, that they were quite happye snp, about scotland, but neither of them seemed willing actually to come and debate me. my my colleague will be following all the evening's debates. well, hello and welcome to sheffield. all four leaders will be on the stage tonight in front of 100 —— 150 people and fiona bruce will be in the seat keeping a tight rein in all. let me introduce you to the auditorium in the room itself. my colleague has been taking a look. the four party leaders will be making a pitch to the nation from this very podium and irrespective of the relative size of their parties they will have the same amount of airtime, 30 minutes each. but rather bizarrely they have agreed on something, the order of service. jeremy corbyn will be first up, then nicola followed byjo swinson and finally borisjohnson. they nicola followed byjo swinson and finally boris johnson. they will have to be careful about what they say and watch their step because previously a political leader stumbled on a programmejust like this a fe

the lib dems and snp have lost their legal challenge to be included in an itv head—to—head debate aheadlabour'sjeremy corbyn tomorrow evening. the lib dems said they wanted their pro—remain stance to be represented, while the snp wanted the issue of scottish independence to be raised. the liberal democrats' position in this election and that of our leader is unique. jo swinson is the only leader of a national party fighting to stop brexit. boris johnson and jeremy corbyn should not be allowed to sidestep debating the issue of brexit with someone who wants to remain, and itv should not give them the opportunity to do so. that is why this is an incredibly disappointing verdict, not just for liberal democrats but also for democracy in this country. and for every remainer who deserves to have a voice in this debate. you can observe very clearly what is going on here. there is fantastic support we are getting from the people of scotland with the very clear message that we have, that scotland's future should be in the hands of the people of scotland, yet, at this crucial time, where we face t

from her yesterday, obviously very angry that the suggestion that is on the table at the moment from itvocrat leader was involved ina liberal democrat leader was involved in a debate with the other parties. so they are taking legal advice, we know that senior members of the party had been to speak to itv executives about all of this. the other argument is that it means during those debates they say there is no clear voice making the case for remaining in the eu because the liberal democrats of course, say the labour party policy is unclear because they are refusing to say at the moment how they would campaign if there were to be another referendum, and of course boris johnson and the conservatives, him having negotiated the deal, saying he is determined to leave the eu. they say that voice should be represented in these debates so we‘ll have to see if she can make any inroads with that argument but i think a counter argument is people will look and say, you‘re not even the third biggest party at westminster, that is the snp. and despite the volatility of the opinion polls, none showed th

it is planned for itv andi itv and bbc?sibility of some kind of an arrangement with jeremy corbyn. possibility of some kind of an arrangement withjeremy corbyn. she said she may be could have some kind of informal arrangement with jeremy corbyn, has ruled any kind of arrangement with boris johnson. corbyn, has ruled any kind of arrangement with borisjohnson. has arrangement with borisjohnson. has a liberal democrat position on that changed? not at all. jo swinson has been clear there is no way that we are going to prop up eitherjeremy corbyn or boris johnson are going to prop up eitherjeremy corbyn or borisjohnson to be prime minister. neither of them are fit to be prime minister and she is clear she would do a betterjob and i really do think she would. thank you very much for your time this morning. 28 minutes past seven is the time. headlines shortly. hello. this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. a clean—up operation is under way in pa

the issue of brexit with someone who wa nts to issue of brexit with someone who wants to remain and itvliberal democrats, but also for democracy in this country. and for every remainer who deserves to have a voice in this data. you can clearly observe what is going on. we have fantastic support from the people of scotland with very clear message that we have that scotland was that future should be in the hands of the people of scotland. yet, in crucial time, hands of the people of scotland. yet, in crucialtime, where hands of the people of scotland. yet, in crucial time, where we face the very clear risk of being dragged out of the european union against our will, the people of scotland having expressed and desire to remain, that we are not permitted to ta ke remain, that we are not permitted to take part in the first and most crucial broadcast broadcast that will take place, there is irrefutable academic evidence that the first debate in any westminster election campaign is the one that leads to many people have not actively engaged in politics, making their minds up on how to vote. it

we are taking legal advice and we will pursue legal avenues if itv do not change their format.nue with over the next few days, certainly in terms of the look of the weather. there will be some rain at times but not all the time, but the feel of the weather will change a bit and it is going to turn a little bit colder, subsequent to this evening, still some persistent rain on in scotland the move its way down into northern england, some hefty showers elsewhere where they could become fewer and farther between us the night wears on, temperatures getting down to around six, seven, 8 degrees. certainly not as cold as some areas that we will see later this week. for england and wales, expect a lot of cloud, some are bricks of showery rain which have been confined to see in eastern areas in the very highest mounds of scotland, there could even be some wintry mixing in, so things turn quarter, it spread southwards through the middle of the week, some rain at times but not all the time. this is bbc news. the headlines... health bosses have warned parties not to use the nhs as "a politi

a hotly anticipated paul sees the conservatives heading for a majority, but johnson told itv the elections still a very tight race. the cio at barclays investment solutions is still with us. we were talking earlier about your preference for developed market equities. the u.k. may have been a little bit of an outlier in terms of being an unloved market. is the u.k. and equity market you are interested in right now? william: i'm not singling it out. i think we set for some time that the interesting thing about the u.k. is the sense that you want to add cyclical risk to your technical portfolio, that is probably not the place to do it. it indexes highly in pharmaceutical staples. there are high-quality defensive plays. the banks themselves and that index tend to be a little bit racy, as well. in a way, it can leave you stranded if you are looking for cyclical exposure, but that is offset for longer-term investors by quite an attractive valuation for the dividend yield. if you assume that my total return over several years can be sort of roughly summarized by my dividend yield plus my dividen

tonight isjeremy corbyn going head to head with borisjohnson on itv at 8pm and a head—to—head big primeefore where two candidates have gone head—to—head like that. there have always been other people in the mix. not appearing in the debate tomorrow night will bejo swinson of the lib dems, or nicola sturgeon of the snp. they lost a legal challenge today where they tried to get themselves spots on the stage. you can listen to electioncast on bbc sounds and we will be back tomorrow. thank you forjoining us. a very frosty start and dense fog patches. it will be a mainly dry day with sunshine around in the north and east. these fog patches could lift up into locale —— low cloud that many northern and eastern areas should cease —— should stay dry and sunny. it will be less cold in the south—west, a chilly day elsewhere. a chilly start to tuesday night but as we head into the early parts of wednesday as the wind begins to pick up wednesday as the wind begins to pick up from the south, i think rural frost will become more refined to scotland. variable cloud and good spells of sunshine but outbr

the guardian features boris johnson and jeremy corbyn in tonight's leaders' debate on itv, with brexiths high on the agenda. the ft describes the debate as a hazardous duel that the prime minister survived. the times says the leaders are neck—and—neck following the clash, citing a snap yougov poll of viewers. the independent features its exclusive story on the failings at shrewsbury and telford nhs trust, which it calls the largest maternity scandal in nhs history. prince andrew is featured on the front of the mirror. the newspaper says police notebooks could hold key information relating to allegations made against the duke of york. in an exclusive, the sun claims that prince andrew cancelled his first public engagement since his bbc newsnight interview. let's start with the times, and a kind of hand on shoulder and a warm handshake. boris johnson and jeremy corbyn. in a sense, i suppose, they will both have breathed a sigh of relief after tonight. this is the first there has ever been where the prime minister and the first two men who wants to be prime minister go head to head. secon

boris johnson went head—to—head still going on and jeremy corbyn and borisjohnson went head—to—head on itvppened online from bbc news. see you tomorrow. hello. to stay dawned and my distain parts of aberdeen share in the statistics for november has been particularly cold month for received blue colours, temperatures have been below average for the time of year and across northern scotland substantially drier with colours of rainfall the chart and also showing where the whites and blues are substantially above. particularly to the east midlands and they have seen almost double their entire months worth of rain, almost 60% of this value here notice it is way below that. barely a fifth of what we normally expect for the entire month. the rainfall to take us into wednesday will be mainly limited to western french is an eastern parts will be isolated to the north sea coast, potentially one or two just drifting through western scotland later but it is northern ireland and cornwall where he could see some rain at times the stuff quite a breezy day and certainly more breeds where the sun is called

the deadline has passed and the lib dems have not heard from itv. thank you, sean curran there.other election news. some of britain's pro—european political parties have announced a remain electoral alliance. the liberal democrats, plaid cymru and the green party will step aside for each other in 60 constituencies. they claimed the move was in the national interest. it is unprecedented, the scale of this arrangement between these three different political parties, but i think it speaks volumes about how high the stakes are, how important this is, that these parties, ourselves, the liberal democrats, with the green party and plaid cymru, have been able to put aside those narrow party interests to work together in the national interest, and that's how our politics should be done. around 3,000 voters in swindon have been mistakenly warned that they may not be able to vote in the general election. in a letter sent by swindon council, residents were told they would be removed from the electoral register as they were no longer entitled to be registered at their property. the council l

one was on itv last week, another on the bbc next week.his was grandstanding and playing politics. it is a shame they decided to do that and i hope they won't do it in the future. there is another twist insofar as tory sources last night suggested if they re—elected —— if they are re—elected, the government could review channel 4‘s broadcasting obligations, although conservatives sources said the license does have to be reviewed in the next parliament anyway. helen, thank you. we are going to be talking tojohn mcdonnell shortly. he will be joining us on breakfast. relatives of those killed in the hillsborough disaster have spoken of their disappointment at yesterday‘s court verdict. the criminal investigation has cost £65 million, but has ended with no one convicted. joining us now is christine mcevoy, whose daughter marian died at hillsborough. and the mayor of liverpool, joe anderson. good morning to you both. christine, you were in the court yesterday. yeah i was. could you talk us through what that moment was like? pretty shocking. ver

he's been on itv, he's going to be on another one.g to be on andrew marr at the weekend as well. so there's an awful lot of opportunity to have a debate, ask the prime minister questions, but there's only so much time that he has in order to be able to do them all. as you said, at the heart of this is the idea of scrutiny and how much anyone who is standing for prime minister should put themselves forward for. and what type. you heard some of the things boris johnson has been doing there, from gavin williamson. he has been criticised for not agreeing so far toa criticised for not agreeing so far to a forensic 30 minute interview with andrew neil, which other party leaders have done, which is a different thing. labour say he is running scared. he thinks, like, you know, his bullingdon club friends, that they're above the rest of us, that they don't need to be held to account, they don't need to be treated like the rest of us. and so what he's doing now is, he's avoiding — he's running scared because he knows that andrew neil will take

from the high court, the liberal democrats and the snp have lost their high court challenge against itvd they then went to participate. and they then went to the high court with the snp to fight that decision. we're just hearing that they have lost. so we will you my reaction to that as we get it. sport now on afternoon live, withjohn watson. and saracens aren't going to appeal that whopping fine and points deduction? no, perhaps surprisingly so, but i presume they have accepted their punishment and the body of evidence, they have accepted that punishment and the points penalty and that fine. for breaching rugby union's salary cap. chairman nigel wray admitted they made mistakes and has accepted the penalties. interestingly, though, it's the impact this could have on the england team. head coach eddiejones said relationships may have been damaged within his squad by the punishment. eight of his matchday squad for the world cup finaljust over two weeks ago were sarries players, including his captain, owen farrell. and jones admitted some of those players could end up prioritising club no

i‘ve got rachel from itv? studio: that is jo got rachel from itv? with the liberal democrat launch. we will go tojeremy liberal democrat launch. we will go to jeremy corbyn liberal democrat launch. we will go tojeremy corbyn who is now launching the labour election campaign in harlow. applause. thank you, harlow. this is i think the third time i have been here this year. but i will be back. and i want to say thank you for all that you do for our party and it is great to see old friends in the audience here, particularly my old friend, stan newman‘s. stan, former mp for harlow and great friend of mine and been an inspiration to many people. if you need to know the history of essex and harlow, he‘s your man. stan, thank you for everything you have done for our movement and you do to inspire us all. you are a great comrades and a great friend. applause it is fantastic to be here because this is one of the original new towns that was created by the post—war labour government. to deal with a massive housing shortage at that time. i think of those newtown

despite taking itv to court, the lib dem leader won't be on stage here tonight talking about her planhs or anything else. they will turn round and they will look at borisjohnson and jeremy corbyn and they will say, this is not good enough. there's going to be a lot of people watching tonight who see that debate and feel depressed. also on the trail, but not on the stage, the first minister nicola sturgeon, who leads the third biggest current party, but is only standing in one part of the uk. well, borisjohnson is clearly terrified to debate me. 0bviously, we'd have to speculate as to why that is the case! but i'll debate him anytime, anyplace. the prime minister was reminded today it can be the little things that matter. there will be big events and maybe big surprises but, in the end, all politics is local. what matters to you and me. george, it is still early in this election, debt still a long way to 90, election, debt still a long way to go, but it is clear there is so much thatis go, but it is clear there is so much that is different about these two candidates, in terms of their

what happened afterwards was jeremy corbyn's lines in the tv debate, the itv debate didn't get over,that they were still able to advance their lines so they are ina weird to advance their lines so they are in a weird world that they would rather have negative news about the conservatives, then labour... crowd out the opposition. they are talking about the tories and... journalists should be really aware that we are potentially being played as well. we should hold people to account but we should hold people to account but we should talk about the tactics as well. very interesting. let's move back to the sunday times, which has probably the best photograph of the morning. the odd thing is prince charles, the man has gotten way of his building. -- bowling. unless we chose a nicely chosen shot. it looks as if prince andrew would be having as if prince andrew would be having a party where it is very thin grill. instead of a prince andrew party which might be quite an interesting event, he is now going to have a modest dinnerfor the event, he is now going to have a modest dinner for the fa
