the national party has a little bit of a difficulty controlling this. the parties have been weakened by a lot of things that have happened in the past. it is a weight that they weaken the parties. with the economic benefits from being part of the party process. the state laws had regulated this. because of some of these. there is a lot of competition for the parties. there are consultants who will advise the candidates. there is now social media i'm not sure anybody controls the message on that. the parties that have been weakened but it's not just because of this. >> why would one state hold a closed primary in the other one hold an open primary. it has a lot to do with tradition and going back to the early 19 hundreds when the laws were passed. they have the stronger political parties. they adopted a closed primary to restrict participation to people who are registered and other states where the progressive movement with a bit stronger they were more likely to adopt an open primary. and anyone can vote. although the laws don't had as much effect on the

national front. that is from the party founder jean-marie le pen who has been kept out of proceedings here in the paris suburb. a senior national front policy meeting. she is afraid i will tell the truth, is what he had to say. this is the ongoing view between the party founder and his daughter after his expulsion from the party a few years ago. he is trying to reclaim his position inside the party. a previous court upheld his exclusion but left him with the president, honorary which gives him the right to attend meetings like this. the national front now risks pr, a fine for kidding him away. marine le pen saying i would rather pay than have him sitting in front of me, he is a political enemy. marine le pen trying to find common cause and positions with the rest of the national front after two particularly poor ,howings in the elections coming off of the humiliating thelast month in presidential elections, sapping on the energy from her campaign for the parliamentary elections. what she wants today is orderly debate, trying to end the finger-pointing and recommendations we have seen at senior levels o

national party in the event of a hung parliament. —— national party.f the team on twitter. stay with us on bbc news. hello. we will do the easy bit first and then i will give you the forecast, which is probably the bit you are after. a mixture of sunny spells and showers. friday was not just as straightforward. you see why go back to friday in a moment. it started well, then it started to look more threatening. that is properly because many of you were getting tied up with the weather front which had fresh air on its western flank, but ahead of it, warm, moist, muggy air, which ended two thunderstorms or parts of east anglia and the south—east, which is why some of you and your date looking more like that. yes, there we re looking more like that. yes, there were some localised flooding, due to be heavy downpours. that muggy air is still there to be had as we start saturday across this south—eastern quarter. the remnants of the —— weather front still producing some rain. it is through the west that we see the finest conditions as other day. one or two s

but the scottish national party want a different dealfor the scottish national party want a differentotland. we need to try to stay in the single market to try to stay in the single market to protect jobs to try to stay in the single market to protectjobs and investment and living standards, and we need strong snp mps in the house of commons arguing for that. but leaving the eu means huge changes to the law, and who's in charge? theresa may has declared that it will be our supreme court is and not the european courts that will be in overall charge, but it might not be that straightforward, because the continentaljudges oversee some things like the european arrest warrant that we might still want to be part of. labour says it's open to discussions. the lib dems, though, remember, promised that whatever the brexit deal, they would give you another say. the british people have the right either accept a deal, in which case we leave the european union on the ist of april 2019, or to reject it and remain. i will be very clear with you, as i have been over the last 12 months, i cannot see us

in scotland the leader of the scottish national party , of the scottish national party, nicola sturgeontuencies by helicopter. scotland's first minister took to the skies in the final weekend of election campaigning, and is visiting six key constituencies over the course of saturday. the snp won 56 of the 59 seats in scotland in the 2015 general election, a record result which polls suggest they will struggle to match this time round. speaking to the bbc, ms sturgeon, said that she would be willing to enter into a coalition with the labour party in the event of a hung parliament. well, i've always said if the arithmetic allowed it, i'd want the snp to be part of a progressive alternative to a tory government, a progressive alternative that invested in public services and protected pensions and had policies that lifted people out of poverty, but i think the polls in the rest of the uk still suggest the tories will win this election, but it's no longer inevitable that theresa may increases her majority, because she's been exposed throughout this campaign as being weak, evasive, no answers

. >> on tuesday, nicola sturgeon the scottishhed national party agenda. she said there's too much at stake with brexit for scotland to not be part of the process. we began this 15 minute portion with a question from our reporter. >> the conservatives are running this general election campaign in scotland on what message which is they do not want another independence referendum. -- jin: really question >> really?

called women's leadership counsel to encourage women to get into contributing to candidates and national parties. there are more women involved than ever before. i still think the access to the business networks to raise money to run for office, holds a lot of women back. guest: i think that's an interesting point. the data doesn't bear it it out anymore. it shows women can raise as much money as men. they raise it differently sometimes lot more smaller contributions. win i talked to some of the researchers, they're adamant that this shouldn't hold women back. most elected offices in the country, don't require huge amounts of money. if you're talking local races state races, it's not like running for congress. the money barrier is smaller. it's more about the obstacles that women perceive that they are. they think that they won't be able to raise the money. they won't be able to get the fair kind of media coverage and people won't vote for him. the data suggests those are no longer the barriers. it's women themselves deciding to run. your point is very important. big effort particularly among de

why are remainers saying brexit is losing momentum when the liberal democrats and scottish national party theresa may said during the campaign. iam at what theresa may said during the campaign. i am asking the british people to give me a strong mandate so people to give me a strong mandate soi people to give me a strong mandate so i can negotiate and of course she has been talking about her brexit, leaving the single market, the customs union. the fact she does not have that mandate, no majority, that is wider remainers have said people are rejecting her a version of brexit. it is a difficult thing to do. the other thing to talk about, labour and the south of england. it looks as though labour were doing better at remain areas. particularly the south of england. the anecdotal evidence, they were not liking what theresa may has said. what did the 52% vote for in the referendum? what did the 52% vote for in the referendum ? staying what did the 52% vote for in the referendum? staying or leaving the single market? that is one of the issues. whatever form single market? that is one of the iss

the national party picked up the bills.ther, in fact, they should have appeared on craig mackinlay‘s individual election costs has now resulted in these criminal charges. the allegation is that expenses that should have been on his official return were not. and, of course, if they had been, he might have breached the strict limit each candidate has on how much they're allowed to spend. the conservative party continues to believe these allegations are unfounded. craig mackinlay is innocent until proven guilty and he remains our candidate. in a statement, craig mackinlay said... i'm very disappointed with the way this has been handled. why leave this until a few days before the election? he will continue to campaign to be re—elected though. just being charged with filing false election expenses does not disqualify you from becoming an mp. his first court appearance, the 4th ofjuly, will be less than four weeks after polling day. police investigating the manchester bombing have seized a car that they say could be a significant

national front ever since. marine le pen has been trying to position the party. it's hard to see how she might be able to do that or it up -- that. you've got some recriminations coming from within the national front. finger-pointing is going on as to who is to blame. the more traditional wing of the party wants to go back to the way things used to be, back into traditional territory for the far right party. ditching policies on coming out of the euro and trying to come out of the european union. it's not certain if she is going to be able to pull things together. she wants to exhort people to come out and vote in the second round. ever since her knee's refuse to run, -- nice refused to run, that is less than the one with the pedigree to push forward. it she going to be able to manage this in the days and weeks ahead? genie: thanks for that. he is reporting from northern france. the second round of the parliamentary election is now set for next sunday. let's take a look at what to expect in the coming days as candidates raced toward that vote or it we have more on

it was a bad night for nicola sturgeon and the governing scottish national party, which lost 21 mp5, ediate effect. ukip failed to win any seats in parliament, and its share of the vote collapsed. finally, a surge in the youth vote may have proved crucial tojeremy corbyn's gains last night. young voter turnout has been estimated at 72% — overall turnout was 69%, the biggest since 1997. in scotland it was a bad night for the snp — the party lost a third of its seats. they've ended up with 35 seats, the tories have 13, labour seven and the lib dems four. the snp losses claimed some high profile scalps. the party's former leader and scottish first minister, alex salmond, lost his seat to the tories as did the party's leader at westminster, angus robertson. while it was a disastrous night for theresa may south of the border, the conservatives had their best showing in scotland for decades. tories believe their anti—independence message hit home. our political correspondent glenn campbell has the story of a tory revival in scotland. they haven't had cause for celebration like this in a uk

there are some possible partners as well, the scottish national party, the liberal democrats, and the greens could all reasonably be expected to come to an agreement with the labor party. but that only totals 315 seats. still short of the 326 to get a majority. so you could describe this as the perfect storm of uncertainty for markets. that is the reason why, as you said, the pound fell initially some 2%, sue. >> let me ask you a question, wilf. knowing theresa may is a brexit hard liner, what do the results many for the brexit process going forward? it's probably too early to know at this point. what do you think? >> reporter: it's a great question. the first takeaway you would have to say is the intention to begin brexit negotiations in two weeks looks fairly unlikely, it's not even sure we'll have a firm government by then. the second thing is to say that if theresa may goes ahead with a weak minority government, her hand will be a lot weaker than it would have been had she not called an election, and certainly weaker than she wanted it to be by calling this election. the second ev

it was a bad night for nicola sturgeon and the governing scottish national party, which lost 21 mp5, ves gained 12 seats, their best result in scotland since 1983. the leader of the uk independence party, paul nuttall, is standing down with immediate effect. ukip failed to win any seats in parliament, and its share of the vote collapsed. finally, a surge in the youth vote may have proved crucial tojeremy corbyn's gains last night. young voter turnout has been estimated at 72% — overall turnout was 69%, the biggest since 1997. now let's get a roundup of the day's other news with martine croxall. president trump says he's100% willing to testify under oath to give his side of his leaked conversations with james comey, the former fbi director he sacked last month. mr trump has rejected mr comey‘s assertions that he had urged him to drop investigations into his presidential campaign's links with russia and his former national security adviser, michael flynn. at a white house press briefing the president was challenged by a reporter on the issue. he did say under oath that you told him, you

the tories have 318 seats, a short of a majority could labor has 262 mps, the scottish national party 35, and the liberal democrat, 12, and the democratic unionist party in northern ireland, 10. far from increasing the number of mp's, the tories lost 13 seats. labor gained 30 while the s&p saw their number go down by 21. tonight we have full coverage and we begin with laura kuenssberg. laura: she who dares doesn't always win. the most votes, the most seats, but under this stinging glare, no iron gates nor police protection can shield theresa may from the accusation she looks a political loser. the trappings of power, the visit to the palace, help from northern irish mp's means she can gather enough support to stay on, but having believed herself to be on the brink of a sizable majority, going backwards seems like defeat. prime minister may: i've just been to see her majesty the queen, and i will now form a government -- a government that can provide certainty and lead britain forward at this critical time for our country. laura: not a single mention of the results. prime minister may:

i think he's trying to help galvanize democrats who don't really have a strong national party leader right now. obama's been very quiet through a lot of the trump presidency so far. he's nod weighed in -- not weighed in as he did on healthcare this week and that's because this is his signature bedrock historic acomeempt from his presidency and he wants to protect it. robert: the healthcare industry doesn't seem to like the bill but the business community seems to like it as a tax cut. kelly: part of how you can look at the two bills, the obama era healthcare and what the republicans are talking about -- the republicans are talking about trying to have entitlements but also trying to drive people to private insurance, also a core republican view. part of what the democrats were trying to do was expand coverage so it did create a much larger pool to try to drive down costs. we've seen that, didn't quite play out. so what republicans need to do and it will be difficult, is to try to support an insurance market that has taken hit after hit after hit. it's not clear how they will bolster,

let's discuss all of those issues with scottish national party m.p. angus macneil i'm going to thank you very much indeed for braving the heat to talk to us today i mean so the protesters have declared it the day of rage in this hot sun in the hope of bringing down the government. why the delay in any political really i think it will certainly have a lot of impact on the streets if you like and it sounds like it might not be the most pleasant of scenes but given we're giving you a report that hopefully good sense will prevail you know the demonstrators do a very legitimate concerns of the that they're eating but we'll see if it goes i mean what's your reaction to the claim from the from kensington's now labor m.p. that survivors aren't being helped enough and that some of being forced to sleep rough we what do you think of that. looks awful london is one of the world's richest cities in kensington and chelsea the royal no less of kensington and chelsea is one of the wealthy wealthiest parts of london but so not all and so selfish in their economic out

while their main rivals are the national party going underground tackle the issue with sinn fein and pay chris has it any dealings between unionism and tory governments have been bad for local people and for ireland since you know when i think a tory government has never been a good thing for the people of ireland specially the people of the north of ireland we look at our communities devastated by tory is terribly i myself was a government minister last year i seen the effects of tory a sturdy on our budgets but the real public anger and the real public anger the d.p. in the assembly election just in march the d.p. lost a number of seats up to ten seats they lost it was real public anger so you know we see in this we now see you know shadowy backroom deals and that's why there needs to be transparency what it was talked about here because let's be clear with this tories and tory policy have been devastatingly bad for the people of ireland since two thousand and ten tourist areas taken a billion pound out of our block grant you know it's our public services are being punished here an

this was paid for by the national party but a police investigation as to whether they should have beenriminal charges. the conservative party continues to believe that these allegations are unfounded. craig mackinlay is innocent until proven guilty and remains our candidate. in a statement, craig mackinlay said... he will continue to campaign to be re—elected, though just being charged does not disqualify you from becoming an mp. his first court appearance is in july. daniel sandford, bbc news, ramsgate. here at the university of york laura kuenssberg joins me. looking forward to question time this evening, a range of subjects could come up. the trump issue on climate is one of them? that may well be raised, there has been a sharp attack from labour on theresa may already today in expressing disappointment in a phone call to the president rather than taking the firm public stand and joining in the anger on display from other world leaders. it‘s not really been an issue in the campaign but it isa been an issue in the campaign but it is a subject important to a lot of voters. it feeds in
