, they we re the first one with nick clegg, they were viewed in a completely different way by the general public who were genuinely interested and looking at it in a less partisan way to see what they thought the people we re to see what they thought the people were saying but the way news has moved on and politics has moved on, also a social has moved on, now it means that the people out there of whatever party they are from are simply looking for the clip that will be on the news, retreated, go viral and form the basis of the instagram video and that's what it has become. the paper going with that line from jeremy corbyn. what was the standout moment for you?” agree withjoe. most people have made up their minds about how they will vote in december but the standout moments tonight were disappointing ones. it's a race to the bottom. 0n the one hand, we had jeremy corbyn trying to make a virtue of this neutrality which is an interesting stance to take this late in the discussion, really quite pathetic i think. similarly, boris johnson obfuscating as usual and the very first question, yet a

and talking about these tv debates, the man who really got the breakthrough was nick clegg in 2010.t sense not have done right? he had quite an easy positioning in 2010 actually because you had to my old parties and the liberal democrats and he could be the guy who put them both in a box and said, the two old parties, this boring way of doing things, if the two of them thought about stuff he could just then say, the two old people having then say, the two old people having the same old argument, let's have real change. so when you talked to david cameron's or gordon brown because my advisers, they both said they realise that actually in rehearsals nick clegg was going to get all of the best lines and they had given him a huge gift by letting him be there in the first place —— they both said they realised. but he performed very well to stop he was very human, very relaxed, made the point of little things, talking to the people who had asked the question is, remembering their name, making the point of telling stories about real people he had met who we re about real people he had met

in 2010 the story was nick clegg. we are running out of time, fascinating stuff, thank you both.facing renewed calls to tell the authorities about his friendship with epstein, a convicted sex offender. here's our los angeles correspondent, sophie long. this is the lawyer in los angeles representing five of jeffrey epstein's alleged victims. with her, a young woman who told reporters crammed into the small room that epstein raped her when she was 15. we were not hidden. it is upsetting to me to think that anyone who was closely associated withjeffrey epstein might argue that they didn't suspect that he might have been sexually abusing children. her attorney urged prince andrew to come to the united states and tell investigators everything he knows about the behaviour and activities of his former friend, jeffrey epstein. he described in his interview this weekend that jeffrey epstein's home was like a railway station. a lot of people coming in and out. he should have asked, why are these girls here? this is the interview ms allred was referring to. prince andrew responded to the al

when you look at the televised debates, it was nick clegg who got the most out of the debates.in the policy was more popular than winston churchill! and it shows you what a difference a debate can make. it was not to last as we saw in 2017. it is throwing up surprises in recent years, notably on brexit because the other northern cities all lean slightly towards remain, this one bucked the trend. it voted to leave in all constituencies apart from sheffield hallam which was eight remain voting constituency, that makes it really interesting because the lib dems are looking to make their comeback to that seat, and since day one following the last general election they have been campaigning hard on they have been campaigning hard on the ground to their candidates are very familiar underground. ian was telling us about the make—up of the audience but obviously sheffield is the city, all six seats in 2017 went to labour, so do you think this would be good ground forjeremy corbyn, and yet lying over that is the brexit argument in a brexit city. not necessarily wise to take their seats

injuly, nick clegg said that brexit would mean the clock is ticking on the end of the united kingdom.he would never accept, never as conservative prime minister, except a border in the rsc and that is exactly what he has come back with. —— the irish sea. he has been prepared to sell at the people of northern ireland because everything is about him and him being prime minister and that‘s what imean being prime minister and that‘s what i mean when he says —— when i say he does not care about anything else. as you know, i am a strong supporter of our united kingdom, scotland playing our full role of our united kingdom, scotland playing ourfull role in of our united kingdom, scotland playing our full role in the united kingdom and i genuinely believe we are stronger as those four nations, working in partnership together and the reason i believe we are better with scotland in the uk is the same reason why we believe the uk is better in the european union. it is that you achieve more. we are going to stick with this election launch. if you wonder where itjeremy corbyn is, he hasn‘t started

a graph shows how google searches for nick clegg have surged. angerous in elections to disagree with people. i don't agree with you, sir. well, you're wrong. 0k. that is absolutely ludicrous. you are franklyjust lying. i guess i'm not going to convince you. your promise on student loans has destroyed your reputation. why would we ever believe anything else you say? a nice easy way to start! there were seven party representatives involved, including the labour leader jeremy corbyn, who had announced earlier in the day that he would, after all, be attending. the prime minister theresa may did not take part. she said she would rather be out meeting voters on the campaign trail. he is short history of the televised electoral debate. the little cold snap is upon us. it is not desperately cold but it is cold enough to get out the thick coats, hats and gloves with frost and fog in the morning this weekend. this is the big picture across our neck of the woods and the jet is to the south of us and when we see this pattern that means the cold air is to the

thinking back, we spoke about this earlier, i keep thinking back to nick clegg, backin keep thinkingrise winner of that tv debate.” back in the day he was the surprise winner of that tv debate. i don't know if anybody has done it since either. 2010 was a breakthrough for him buti either. 2010 was a breakthrough for him but i can't think of another moment, can you? he changed the dynamics, the new kid on the block was meant to be david cameron and suddenly we saw this kid that was even shinier than david cameron and even shinier than david cameron and even more polished than he was and he transformed the dynamics. tonight, think we know borisjohnson better than we have nowjust about any other politician who has been at this, not been in downing street long but he has been part of the furniture in the united kingdom for a good few decades. jeremy corbyn has been around a long while, we kind of knowing that is danger. a most people know how they feel about them. jeremy corbyn has to convince us them. jeremy corbyn has to convince us that he is competent and these policies he is offering

in england but want to watch is just winston's own seat she needs to remember what happened to nick clegg in sheffield hallam when he was leader and he lost and therefore is a supposed to say if the tories get $320.00 seats all above happens. $100.00 comfortable majority $315.00 we're going to be back here in the new year for another way action and 3 term of bill or you're talking about a rainbow coalition or perhaps a tartan turns red bull coalition is it as simple as that those are numbers of seats no personals needs to have a majority in the overall majority to push through otherwise we're going to be powerless just as we have been and will be back in a few months the lib dems have made another mistake they said they will not go into coalition with anybody else clearly starting from the last time which means they've written themselves out of the script they're no one can depend on their support so it's really down to whether the boris johnson has enough of his own allies in his own party to push through and for that he definitely needs a big majority or gentleman i don't know if the el

and sheffield nick clegg must i take battle between labour and the liberal democrats, so a flavour of biggest parties at westminster. rather bizarrely for a general election they have agreed on something, the order of service. jeremy corbyn will be fast then nicola sturgeon thenjo swinson and jeremy corbyn will be first then nicola sturgeon thenjo swinson and finally borisjohnson. the spectre of the size of the parties they will what is different from a conventional debate is here the audience will be in charge, sitting here, 150 of them representative of the british public as a whole. they will be putting the question directly to the politicians and from past experience they can really put them on the spot so who knows, perhaps tonight we will change the whole shape of this general election. difficult questions on a poor performance and perhaps... difficult questions on a poor performance and perhaps. . m difficult questions on a poor performance and perhaps... it is an interesting thing trying to balance tonight because this is a city that has led towards the left but also lea ns ha

and also nick clegg, she cannot get away from that.gow by people who really cannot forgive him for some of the austerity measures. and think she voted for when she was a leader at the time but you did —— that was not the reader what she did vote for them. boris johnson that was not the reader what she did vote for them. borisjohnson would not apologise for the things he has written that he defended himself. he said it was a country of free speech but it was a difficult night forjoe swinson. she was asked about liberal democrat bar chart. they certainly put out some questionable bar charts in theircampaign put out some questionable bar charts in their campaign literature, the

. having nick clegg in the debates, they didn't have a problem.her, they will only debate each other, they will write out all the script the voice of millions of remainers across the country who also happens to bea across the country who also happens to be a woman. why are they so scared of taking on a girl? what do you make of the government's decision not to publish the national securitysecurity's committee report? it can be nothing short of suspicious that they have not published that report. i have not seen that report, but respected members of the intelligence committee like dominic grieve who have think it should be published. presumably because it is relevant to the election we are about to embark upon. and we need to make sure that we can have confidence in our elections, therefore that report should be published before parliament rises so that everybody can see what the government knows and what the threats are. i would market it is at stake, and it is hugely important that the report is published. what would you consider going head—to—he

eight took on the left of their own we had the debate between david cameron and gordon brown and nick cleggent formats, things we re format and different formats, things were their head—to—head and with a are having leaders interviewed one after the other so the formats of people that take part art died by discussion for broadcasters and political parties. there are no set rules on exactly how we should go ahead. a quick question about the brexit party, top and the european elections in may. we have any more details on their tactics going into this election? we know from the launch that natural for us a few days ago of the overall strategy that he clearly believes his parties best chances are to target labour leave seats for the currently have a remain mp. so it seems like that might be where the party is going to focus a lot of their firepower but as you said he is saying he will stand candidates in every seat across england, scotland and wales. that's because the conservatives have turned out his offer of an electoral pact that was never really going to fly i don't think so i think he pro

back to 2010 when there were three people in the ring, notch as gordon brown and david cameron but nick cleggnge in the dynamic —— not just which provided a change in the dynamic —— notjust gordon brown. there was that brief upsurge in cleggmania. these debates have the potential to change a dynamic, but very often they do not, in part, i think, because both sides tend to be so well—prepared, so well drilled, so well—prepared, so well drilled, so familiar with each other‘s arguments. we see so much of our political leaders now, our views and perceptions of them are pretty well grounded so it would have to be an almighty zinger or an extraordinary clangerfor it almighty zinger or an extraordinary clanger for it to be a almighty zinger or an extraordinary clangerfor it to be a game changing moment. in terms of the choreography of tonight, half of it will be devoted to brexit, so actually that pays to borisjohnson because undoubtedly he wants this to be about brexit, he wants the election to be about brexit and he will get half a tonight's one hour programme on his core subject. the second half

nick clegg, former lib dem leader, former deputy pm, now works for facebook, told the bbc injune therebut, actually, you have no way of knowing that, do you? no, that's not true. we do have a way of knowing it. we can go and have a look. and one of the things that we have been doing since we saw interference in the united states elections in 2016, is that we've adapted — and really, if you like, programmed the artificial intelligence, or deep machine learning, to be able to understand and to look for if there is potential foreign interference, not just at elections, at any time. and we've been very transparent about this. we put it out when we see it. and as nick said emphatically, there wasn't. and i'll say it again — there was no interference in that election from russian activists or bad actors. thank you very much for talking to us. good luck with the foundation. thank you. thanks for coming back on the programme. thank you. abby said she is a social media and paid advertising specialist and she says she can onlyjust tell the difference between that and fake news sometimes. i want

ask the former deputy prime minister nick clegg what happens if you do. hard to recover. with us is salma shah, former advisor the chancellor sajid javid. they haven't had much time. this is a snap election. get your ducks in a row or that is when mistakes happen. a political campaign is notjust seven weeks, but a year running up to it. you get a better sense of how long ideas are there to embed. we spoke of how many people pay attention to these. of course, you andi attention to these. of course, you and i pay attention to this. but you're not going to shove something like that through doorsteps and expect people to read this. the ma nifest expect people to read this. the manifest was primarily there to give the bureaucracy some direction into what they are suppose to be doing when they get into government. but it is also an accountability mechanism, so people know what you're promised and have an idea of what you want to achieve in government. there are important points to be used and extrapolated by parties and the media, to show what that political pa

you go back to be debates when david cameron was the reader and we had him and ed miliband and nick clegghe is the master of the throwaway line in many people‘s eyes. master of the throwaway line in many people's eyes. i suspect that his advisers will be telling him to play it down and be more authoritative. people need to know that you are not just a joker. as endearing as it can be on the election trail, in this context it is more formal and he needs to be more scrutinising of jeremy corbyn and questioning what he says. back to kezia, there is a slightly different position year as the conservative party are well ahead in the polls. doesjeremy corbyn need to take more risks in this debate tonight to try and get motor is energised around his campaign? i am not sure voters will see it that way. he will want to talk about new policies that he is most proud of. you will talk about stopping austerity and you will want to talk about british broadband. in the news today that they are trailing what they might do around student debt and tuition fees. i think we will hear a lot about these big iss

david cameron and nick clegg put together a programme of the coalition government and what of the things promises they made at the beginning were delivered by 2015. that is history and we are now, i will ask about this election campaign. i will ask you about the tory press office rebranding itself on twitter as fact check uk, i will ask about the fake website on google the tories have set up pretending to be behind the labour manifesto, you work part—time in the nhs, why does borisjohnson claim repeatedly work part—time in the nhs, why does boris johnson claim repeatedly about the nhs, quote, we are getting on with a fantastic programme, 20 hospital upgrades, a0 new hospitals, when it is not true? in terms of the fa ct when it is not true? in terms of the fact check issue, i am not on twitter, i feel it is an abusive medium, particularly if you are in politics. i understand that it was all branded cchq, it was very clear it was a conservative fact check operation. was it clear to people? no! in terms of the nhs there has beena no! in terms of the nhs there has been a promise that if re—e

memory, that'll be a first in broadcasting, because we had the first one in the days when we had nick cleggrs. this will be going ahead when people are making up their minds which we think is a public service. there will be a lot of party exposure in the campaign. it is important as part of our public service that people can hear the points, policies, and they can scrutinise and make their minds up across the political spectrum. this programme is the one which might cause the most attention because it isa cause the most attention because it is a head—to—head but it's not the only thing we are announcing because there is involvement from other parties. small parties, medium—sized, and large in the mix. we know the lib dems are already taking one broadcaster to court. as the bbc prepared for that? we don't think it'll go to that. i don't dig any legal action has been announced. the importance of exposure is to see things as a whole. —— i don't think any legal action. this will be an hour—long programme. there will be debates with the lib dems, snp, plaid cymru, the greens all there. but that'
