we haven't completed work on the manifesto yet.s you would expect less than 100 hours into this election campaign. so we could be in for a shock? no, no. we are having that discussion within the party and we will produce our manifesto in may. earlier my colleague shaun ley spoke to our political correspondent, susana mendonca, and asked her why trident is such a difficult issue for labour. this issue of trident is a difficult one for the labour party. the pa rty‘s one for the labour party. the party's official position has been that it party's official position has been thatitis party's official position has been that it is in favour of renewing trident. the trouble is thatjeremy corbyn has made no secret of the fa ct corbyn has made no secret of the fact he doesn't particularly want trident to be renewed. he doesn't think it should be labour policy. the labour party last year voted on this. labour mps decided they wanted to push ahead with trident. the fact thatjeremy corbyn did not commit to it when he was asked earlier today, he

we haven't got all of the manifesto is yet, so when you hearjeremy corbyn there talking about the manifestond trident, we haven't written our manifesto yet, you have to read between the lines. that's an issue for the labour party which is a very difficult one, because labour's policy is to renew trident byjeremy corbyn is completely against that. if it doesn't end up in the manifesto, people will be looking at that and thinking, labour is heading in a different direction. and record number of runners have been taking to the streets. a kenyan long—distance runner, best known for winning the 2016 amsterdam marathon in record time, has won the elite men's's race. he was twice winner of the prize have marathon. let's hear from our correspondent who is live at the finish line for us now. you must have sprinted to get their!m was a very quick train ride from the start line in south—east london. and just outside buckingham palace. here is the winner of the men's race, just finished in the last couple of minutes. daniel from tanya. it was a bit of a close end. he was some distance out but then the

we haven't got all of the manifesto is yet, so when you hearjeremy corbyn there talking about the manifestoaround trident, we haven't written ma nifesto around trident, we haven't written manifesto yet, you have to read between the lines. but an issue for the labour party which is a very difficult one, because labour's policy is to renew trident byjeremy corbyn is completely against that. if it doesn't end up in the ma nifesto, if it doesn't end up in the manifesto, people will be looking at that and thinking, labour is heading ina that and thinking, labour is heading in a different direction. thank you. polling stations have opened across france in the first round of the country's presidential election. 11 candidates are running for office, with the race between the top four contenders considered too close to call ahead of the vote. two candidates from this round will go through to a run—off vote next month. karin giannone is in paris for us. we had a full on game of street football taking place around us, with some local children. it is anything but tents outside this particular polling s

those manifestos are a week away in all likelihood.s coming on, we are these bundles of promises? but if you are political party you're going to be held to these for the next five yea rs, held to these for the next five years, so held to these for the next five years, so it is not unreasonable that you would spend time knocking them together, particularly since they go from a standing start ten days ago to produce these glossy promises. yes, there was a promise on vat, yes, it is small, but it is a definitive promise. tax will also pique interest is always pique interest. yes, people will always look very particularly at the small print in terms of how parties assembled a language about what they are saying they are going to do. a couple of years ago the conservatives in binding themselves not to increase vat, national insurance and income tax is an astonishing promise because it did buy in the hands of their chancellor. that is quite something for her to back down from, but over the last couple of weeks, the last week or so, she start

she was elected on a manifesto to get rid of the deficit, gone.ameron she has risked the national interest for an arab party political interest. it's shallow politics and i think people have had enough. the argument over the tv debate, is she right to say she will not do it?” think she is becausejeremy corbyn is such an underdog that it would be difficult to come out with a win, andi difficult to come out with a win, and i think she will win in a head to head. there is such an expectation that she will hammer him that she cannot come out with a win so wide do it? so she won't eat him too much? the expectation would be thejeremy too much? the expectation would be the jeremy corbyn, too much? the expectation would be thejeremy corbyn, i think she could be tim in a debate... how damaging would it be for her to be empty chair at. i tv are planning to have one. next. a huge number of people watch them. the last ones with cameron and miliband were watched by a lot of people. cameron did staged on his own and then miliband on his own, they should do some

again, a reference back to the manifesto.sappearance of madeleine mccann, her parents have told the bbc they will do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes to find their daughter. madeleine was three years old when she went missing on holiday in portugal, while her parents were eating at a nearby restaurant. speaking to fiona bruce, kate and gerry mccann talked about the pain they continue to face, after a decade of uncertainty. every day is another day without madeleine. i think it's just that number. that ten—year mark makes it more significant. it's a reminder of how much time has gone by, and obviously ten is a big number. i think that the day and the poignancy of it... we don't tend to go back to the time because it's so draining. but inevitably on anniversaries and birthdays, they're by far the hardest. how different is your life now to what you must have imagined all those years ago? it's a hard one. it's such a long time. i think before madeleine was taken, we felt we'd managed to achieve a little perfect, nuclear

out of manifestos.at what mr corbyn might choose the right out from his ma nifesto. choose the right out from his manifesto. i think we need to look at immigration. ed miliband was imposing various curbs on it, ensuring that migrants are to be here for two years to make sure they can claim. mrcorbyn here for two years to make sure they can claim. mr corbyn saying it is not labour's aim to end free movement, so that might the bin. what else might? private health care. ed miliband was relaxed about that, he was happy for it to continue, mr corbyn much less so. he says he one cigarette of private health care from the national health service that might too go in the bin. those are the sort of ins and outs of the jeremy corbyn bin. those are the sort of ins and outs of thejeremy corbyn manifesto. what about theresa may. what might we expect her to put in her ma nifesto ? we expect her to put in her manifesto? things i expect to see in it, grammar schools, so—called tea levels, and protecting the union. gramm

politicians love to say to wait for the manifesto.s been doing this today on the question at what level of earnings would they increase taxes. is that because they haven't decided on that quite yet or is it because they know it will be controversial? both, probably. they know it will be controversial but they can also say that it is something that is different from what the conservatives are likely to say. they are going through exactly the same process has the conservatives has rapidly putting together our manifesto. they have found themselves in the opening skirmishes to try to define what the higher earner in their view would be. john mcdonnell on the radio about ten days ago was talking about people earning £70,000 more. some thought that was to lower rate to define somebody who would see themselves as rich. 0thers define somebody who would see themselves as rich. others would point to the fact that that is about three times the national average of earnings, so you could justifiably say some of the category was rich. jeremy corbyn

we're not going to have very long to pick over the manifesto is when they are published.ly oi'i parties are drawing up one quickly on the back of the nearest fag packet to find out what they can get away with. it will be interesting to see. because those manifestoes to a degree would have been rushed out, more than normal if we had had the election in 2020 as expected, they would have spent a year working up to it, this time it is very quick. we know the conservative one will be very quick and labour one will be three on the front, premier‘s bombshell on the front, tony blair politics to tony blair returning to politics to help britain says the mirror in this exclusive. what is he going to do, how is he going to help? it's not clear if you read the story, over the past several months he has spoken to newspapers - given promote centre—left ideas and centre—left promote centre—left ideas and ce ntre—left politicians, use promote centre—left ideas and centre—left politicians, use some of the money he has earned from after he was prime minister to fund that and help labour ba

a manifesto, and we have got to wait a while because they are being written as we speak, is a manifestoo read the manifestos in this election. they will hear things on the radio and the television and they will see things on the ipad, but the manifesto will be real important when somebody is elected to government, because it does constitute a programme and they are committed to it. it particularly matters when they are trying to get some controversial things through. one big thing we will see in the conservative manifesto this time, almost certainly, is having conservative mps being elected on a promise to extend grammar schools. whereas previously they would have said that was not a manifesto commitment and it would have been very ha rd commitment and it would have been very hard to get through parliament. so these things do matter, even though as oliver says, not every single person in the country will read every line of the manifesto! with your experience within the labour party, having worked on election campaigns before, as we sit here on what is effectively the first day of campai

they now have a manifesto.few days for the labour party. jeremy corbyn got himself together and made a good first campaign speech. most people thought it was not that bad. there have been no blunders. actually, theresa may has had troubled few days. i cannot agree with that. the speech was not too bad. if you look at everything else that has happened, he has had mps standing down. john woodcock has said while he wants to run for parliament under the labour banner, he cannot advocate anyone voting for jeremy corbyn. mps have said this election is not about defeating the government. others have said we need a progressive alliance, implying that labour by itself cannot actually win. in a sense he has not come on in a clown car and it has collapsed, it has done relatively well. if the tories were surprised, labour were completely flummoxed. theresa may has said she does not wa nt to ta ke theresa may has said she does not want to take part intel buys debates. une agreed to do them if you are in a weak position. ——

i disagree with all of you on the manifesto point.pledges in the manifesto, then she runs into a very difficult position. what could she put in? her red lines. my point is, in the absence of that material in the manifesto, then the house of lords, which will be firmly in favourof remain, they will be entitled to say to her, your mandate at the election like this point, so we your mandate at the election lacked this point, so we are entitled to push back. in terms of the practicalities of this, let's say theresa may wins a general election. how great a risk is it for her that people say, that was pointless. and also that she has created a bit of space forjeremy corbyn, maybe helped to revive the lib dems, who were anti—brexit party, who will be not make it easier for her. meanwhile, there are those pesky people in the house of lords. could it not be her own party that says, actually, we haven't gained very much. it's a foregone conclusion she's going to win, a question of how much of a majority she gets. it may be that corbyn makes som

in the next couple of weeks, we will get the party ma nifestos, of weeks, we will get the party manifestoss of a tax and spending will crystallise into policy. the biggest issue facing britain the next two years is brexit, and there seems to be a divide between theresa may and the rest of the eu over how negotiations should happen. yesterday, eu leaders dismissed the idea of a quick trade deal and said there had to be progress on the terms of the divorce first, including the money britain owes. but theresa may has other ideas. yes, they do want to start discussions about money. i'm very clear that at the end of the negotiations we need to be clear not just about the brexit arrangement, the exit, how we withdraw, but also for our future relationship the exit, how we withdraw, but also for ourfuture relationship is going to be. opposition parties said the government was kidding itself. the prime minister is not in charge of the agenda. there are 27 member states in the european union apart from the uk. they are absolutely united, they are holding a common line, and theresa may is not going t

this general election is notjust about brexit and the parties are writing manifestos full of pledges of tax will be prominent and theresa may was asked whether she will be keeping the tories 2015 manifesto pledge not to raise any of the three main taxes. at this election people have a very clear choice, between a conservative party which always has been, is and will continue to be a party that believes in low taxes, in keeping taxes down for ordinary working people or the choices are labour party whose natural instinct is always to raise taxes. two years ago david cameron said it would be no vat, national insurance or income tax rises, theresa may's comments today suggest that guarantee must not be in a new manifesto and follows the chancellor philip hammond saying he wants more flexibility in managing the economy. today is a flying start saturday and a general election campaign. already on his eighth campaign visit, jeremy corbyn was in warrington. wooing voters, insisting the election was not a foregone conclusion and sketching out labour's own approach to taxes. we will produce a

labour is making a lot of spending promises which it says will be costed in their manifesto.the party that wants low taxes for low and middle earners. the conservative party are the ones who want lower taxes for high earners. we look at things the other way. so, yes, there will be changes, but they will be very much at the top end. in the next couple of weeks, we will get the party manifestos, when promises over tax and spending may crystallise into policy. the biggest issue facing britain over the next two years is brexit, and there seems to be a divide between theresa may and the rest of the eu over how negotiations should happen. yesterday, eu leaders dismissed the idea of a quick trade deal and said there had to be progress on the terms of the divorce first, including the money britain owes. but theresa may has other ideas. yes, they do want to start discussions about money. i'm very clear that at the end of the negotiations we need to be clear not just about the brexit arrangement, the exit, how we withdraw, but also for our future relationship is going to be. opposition

in his interview with me, i think he went as far as he feels able to, given that the manifesto is note is no fan of constraining promises, particularly on tax. he used one word over and over again — "flexibility". mr hammond has opened up a flank, and labour attacked. i think he's recognising that he's got problems with the economy, he's got problems in the budgeting that he's done, and as a result of that there will be tax rises under a conservative government if they get re—elected. this is quite a tax bombshell. as always, the big test in any election — the economy — and today's poor retail sales figures suggested that the increase in inflation is starting to bite and consumers are feeling the strain. some might say you've called this election to get a mandate before the economy truly turns sour. we've called the election because it will strengthen the prime minister's hand in the negotiations to get the right brexit deal for britain. but in terms of the economic data, it has been remarkably resilient over the last nine months. just this week, the imf revised up its forecast for br

the prime minister hinted the long—term plan for that would be in her manifesto.our says it would make those at the top pay more. yes, there will be changes, but it'll be at the top end. labour is guaranteeing the state pension will continue to rise by 2.5% a year. theresa may suggested she was considering a new way of calculating the increase. but brexit looms and with the eu states negotiating around their position yesterday, the other opposition party sends an opportunity. the labour party are fighting amongst themselves and have given up opposing the government. the country needs a stronger position for the sake of democracy. we don't have too agree with me on everything to agree with me that we don't have to agree with me on everything to agree with me that britain needs a strong opposition. the eu has been clear they have been clear they have to look after the interests of the eu 27. in the next parliament we have an importantjob of holding the current government to account. theresa may doesn't want to discuss our eu divorce bill before trade talks and says
