nicola sturgeon says her clearaim at that is brexit.r aim at this election is to stop brexit dead in its tracks by any means possible. she doesn't mind if it is through securing another referendum or whether supporting moves to revoke article 50 or whether joining moves to revoke article 50 or whetherjoining up with anti brexit parties at westminster to thwart brexit, or through securing scottish independence and at least keeping scotla nd independence and at least keeping scotland in the eu. she is not theirs but she knows her best route to achieving that is a hung parliament, in other words if the election is inconclusive, because she knows and that circumstances hugely increases the leverage of the snp. today she gave her clearest indication so far that she would be prepared to helpjeremy corbyn into downing street as part of that attempt to stop brexit, but at a price. and that price would be the removal of nuclear weapons from scotla nd removal of nuclear weapons from scotland and, above all, the granting of another independence re

they nicola followed byjo swinson and finally boris johnson.ey say and watch their step because previously a political leader stumbled on a programmejust like this a few years ago! the spin doctors will be watching out for that but they will also be wary because this is a particularly challenging format, one that puts the audience in charge, 150 of them designed to be representative of the british public as a whole, and they will put their questions directly to the politicians. from past experience, they can put them on the spot. at the moment, the polls seem to be ossified in this general election with the conservatives out in front, is difficult questions from the audience, a poor performance from that stage, and perhaps the shape of this general election over the next three weeks may change. tune in at 7pm for the question time special. what are we looking for tonight? festival, we will see how the party leaders perform in front of an audience who will ask direct questions from the audience not having a ding—dong with each other as they had

nicola sturgeon has said this is the most important election of our generation.asgow. other party leaders have been out on the campaign trail as well. labour leaderjeremy corbyn has said there was no greater issue facing the world than climate change, as he made a campaign speech in swindon. the party is promising to make all new—build homes "zero carbon" within three years, in an effort to curb housing shortages and tackle climate change. mr corbyn also dismissed the government's call to halt fracking as an "election stunt". i think it sounds like fracking could come back on 13 december, if they were elected back in office. we are quite clear — we will end fracking. we think it's unnecessary, we think it is polluted if of ground water systems, and also all the evidence from preston new road in lancashire is that it's actually dangerous and has caused serious earth tremors. and that's why cuadrilla have had to halt their fracking many times, even though they kept claiming they were about to go into full production. so you think this is essentially a little stunt?

nicola sturgeon. hands down? yes.hey made the point quite rightly she does represent 5% of the voting population which is a strange decision but obviously the rules being what they are, she ended up with the same amount of time but she was fluid, she was polite and she landed her messages. we seen this and previous debates. time and again, it nicola sturgeon who actually performs the best in the circumstances but then she can also edit that may adopt a very specific position where she has the track re cord position where she has the track record to defend, clear and consistent records and arguments and what she does not have as a weak spot of the type that boris johnson has anjeremy spot of the type that boris johnson has an jeremy corbyn has that goes to the very heart of the character. you may disagree with nicola sturgeon on a great many things and there are many people in scotland that do but she's not as able to hand a stick to our enemies to be beaten with in the same way that three other leaders out there are.

nicola adams dreamed of this moment before women's boxing was even an olympic sport.g gold. but the sport she loves has taken a toll, forcing her retirement over fears for her sight. i could take the chance and risk that anything, i keep on boxing and nothing else happens to my eyes, or, you know, it could be, you know, an unlucky punch and then i could lose my sight, so i was, like, yeah, you know what, i've achieved a lot in boxing, it's time to hang up the gloves. behind the smile lay a fierce will to win. at the rio olympics she successfully defended her title, before turning professional in 2017 and becoming wbo flyweight champion. a glittering resume for someone who's had to forge their own path to the top. phenomenal achievement in women's boxing. it would be difficult for somebody to achieve the same as nicky, certainly from the uk, but hopefully she'll have inspired girls to have a go at it and try and do that. nicola adams lit up the ring. now she steps away from the canvas, leaving a legacy few can match. katie gornall, bbc news. back to our main story this

i think you can hear now from the leader of the snp, nicola sturgeon, nudging her pa rty‘s snp, nicolaer party's election snp, nicola sturgeon, nudging her pa rty‘s election campaign. we have re—established our scottish parliament. we have become a more inclusive and a more tolerant country. we are more european, quite literally, as thousands of our fellow eu citizens have made scotland their home. with the snp in government, the principle of free education has been re—established. we have extended free personal care and abolished prescription charges. we have put the progressive principle back into our tax policy. and we are building a social security system with dignity, fairness and respect at it's very hard. we have kept our national health service in public hands. protecting it from creeping privatisation. and we have the best performing accident and emergency services anywhere in the united kingdom. scotland is a world leader in renewable energy and in the fight against climate change. we are on a path to becoming a zero emissions country, five years ahead of the re st of country

snp leader nicola sturgeon.dent helena wilkinson who is in westminsterfor us. for more on this. we see nicola sturgeon throwing down the gauntlet saying she is prepared to walk the tories out of government. what did the tories essay in response to what her potential ally saying in response? it has not had a positive reaction here at westminster in terms of reaction today and also where the parties stand on the issue at the moment. now, we heard already we know from labour that they do not support in the formative years of a labour government if they got in, they would not support a second independent scottish referendum. we heard early on from the shadow brexit said —— brexit strategy —— brexit said —— brexit strategy —— brexit secretary keir starmer it was put to him the thoughts and ideas of nicola sturgeon and when she said today and here is his response. "the labour party in this election is for real change and we are in it to win it and therefore we are not in the business of talking about deals with other

nicola sturgeon, and jeremy corbyn were on the rack with andrew neil. yet to confirm. and he is actually going to do a channel a debate on climate change, and boris johnson is not doing that. boris johnson is not doing that. boris johnson has told us he will not share a platform with someone who is not going to be prime minister. nicola sturgeon is coming down for that channel a debate tomorrow, so consequently boris johnson won't do it, michael gove is doing it.|j don't know whether channel a have accepted that. the real story is of course thatjohnson is accepted that. the real story is of course that johnson is ducking the big grilling. do you think that ultimately he will feel he should face that sort of interview? the leader of the opposition has. face that sort of interview? the leader of the opposition hasm face that sort of interview? the leader of the opposition has. if i was in his team of advisers, i would probably be telling him not to do it, because what is the advantage of doing it if you are going to get shredded in the final week of the c

what nicola sturgeon is hoping for is a good performance in the westminster election. 2015 where the collapse of the conservative support in scotland. she believes that brexit is sufficiently unpopular for many scots and they will vote out conservative mps. we will see what the results are in mid december but thatis the results are in mid december but that is her ambition, to make sure those seats aren't lost to the conservatives and picked up by labour but that she is able to call a further independence referendum. the labour leader jeremy corbyn has said there was no greater issue facing the world than climate change, as he made a campaign speech in swindon. the party is promising to make all new—build homes "zero carbon" within three years, in an effort to curb housing shortage and tackle climate change. mr corbyn also dismissed the government's call to halt fracking as an "election stunt". i think it sounds like fracking would come back on the 13th of december if they were elected back into office. we are quite clear, we will end fracking, we think it is unnecessar

a sparkling career by nicola adams.p revelations. so, sarries are facing a 35 point penalty and a fine of over £5 million. it's comes after an inquiry into "business link—ups" between chairman nigel wray and some players. but now, the exeter director of rugby, rob baxter says that saracens will have won their last two titles "unfairly" if their appeal against breaching salary cap rules fails. exeter lost the last two premiership finals to saracens. here's what baxter had to say about the accusations. probably pleased that it's kind of out in public. i think most people who've been involved with building squads and doing contracts and trying to keep players, trying to recruit players, especially over a number of years, when you kind of see the changes in the market and the way things work, probably have known for quite some while that squad has not been put together and kept together and improved and added on in a way that has been possible purely within what the salary cap regulations lay out. arsenal will qualify for t

they love it every time nicola sturgeon talks about another referendum. what do you think? goes on television and bangs on about independence, we get more votes. are you sure? absolutely. i believe the scottish people are sick and tired of the snp going on about independence. so, when nicola sturgeon says she's making this campaign about independence, you think that's good for the tories? fantastic news. great news. obviously, the conservatives aren't the snp‘s early challenges in this election. throughout the campaign we will explore other issues and speak to other parties. but the demand for another independence referendum is central. the snp are hoping for a result that will make it hard for the next prime minister to say no. sarah smith, bbc news. and for more coverage of the general election, just visit our website, at bbc.co.uk/news. the time is 6:17pm. our top story this evening. another tale of financial collapse on the high street — the baby and maternity retailer, mothercare, is warning, it's on the brink of closure — putting 2,500 jobs at risk. champion of the wo

nicola sturgeon is also scathing.tinuation ofjeremy corbyn‘s woeful lack of leadership on brexit. i do think people have a right to expect from somebody aspiring to be prime minister they say where they stand on the issue of should the uk be in or out of the european union? and i think that sort of statement of so—called neutrality will simply feed the suspicion may be people have that jeremy corbyn actually wants the uk to be out of the european union, but simply isn't willing to say that. it is hardly surprising that the other party leaders would take a pop at him, it is an obvious one to take at him, it is an obvious one to take a p0p at him, it is an obvious one to take a pop at him about. what we don't know is yet even what form a renegotiation would take, and what would be presented to people as an alternative to remaining, so you remain the terms we have as members of the european union or you leave on our terms not the ones a that borisjohnson negotiated. on our terms not the ones a that boris johnson negotiat

and you have nicola sturgeon, who is his route to power, his path to power, his yoke made of destiny,it next year. paris, i humbly submit to you that it is hard to see how jeremy corbyn could very easily turn her down if that were to be the condition that she were to put for a coalition. as indeed she surely would. so, what we are faced with is a second referendum on the eu. with all the toxic torpor and tedium, and division, and rancour that it would involve. and a referendum on scotland, when as you know, paris, and as the people of scotland were told at the time, it was meant to be a once in a generation thing. in 2014 they were told that if they voted to remain in the united kingdom the question would not come back again for a generation. and they did. and i really think that this country, as a whole, has had enough of referendums of this kind. we wa nt enough of referendums of this kind. we want to get on and deliver on the mandate of the people of 2016. we wa nt to mandate of the people of 2016. we want to get brexit done and unleash the potential of this whole country. the pote

nicola sturgeon will say boris johnson is unfit for office and his proposed brexit deal would be a ‘nightmare scotland' as she launches the scottish national party's manifesto. we'll bring you her speech live from glasgow in the next few minutes. jeremy corbyn says he has documents showing the government has discussed offering the us access to the health service in trade talks. if you are worried about those egg whites, why not just if you are worried about those egg whites, why notjust make some? gary rhodes, the celebrity chef, has died aged 59. his family say he died yesterday "with his beloved wifejennie by his side". the bodies of 16 vietnamese people who were found dead in a lorry trailer in the uk have arrived back in vietnam. blue story director rapman questions ‘hidden reasons‘ for banning the film, saying it could help stop gang violence. if you are in a gang and you are living that life and you are running with a group of friends who are doing bad things, this film shows you the end result of that, if you wa nt to you the end result of that, if you want to keep a career as a gang m

for nicola sturgeon and the snp, it is also the independence election.porting a minority labour government would be the right to hold a second independence referendum. first, there was a warning about what she thinks a conservative government would actually mean. unless borisjohnson is stopped, this willjust be the start. brexit is nowhere near being done. the tories have barely got going. they haven't even started trade talks yet and, because of johnson's ha rdline position, there is every chance, every chance, that the uk will leave the eu without a trade deal next year. that would be a catastrophe forjobs. and even if he somehow avoids that, his a dream deal will be a nightmare for scotland. and nicola sturgeon had a big promise on the nhs, another part of that price for supporting labour. if the next uk government raised health spending per head to the current scottish level, it would not only substantially increase health investment in england, it would mean by 2024—25, frontline investment in nhs scotland would be £4 billion higher than it is today
