we are here at nottingham trent university waiting for the leaders to arrive ready for that debate starting at 8:15pm. we are into the countdown to the final head—to—head clash between the two men who would be, could be, the prime minister at the end of next week. it is the election next thursday and in just over two hours, rishi sunak and sir keir starmer will be here at nottingham trent university to face questions from mishal husain, our colleague, and audience members. the general election is of course onjuly the 4th. you can hear a big hubbub in the background, this is the spin room where journalists gathered to watch the debate and report on what they have seen. some politicians coming here to try and put their side of the equation. that is when the hubbub goes through the roof after the debate, as people react to what they have seen. let's look ahead to what may be coming any direction of sir keir starmer and rishi sunak. they will all have been gaming out what kind of questions they might want to get. where do you think each will be put under the most pressure?— think each will be p

conservatives both labour and the conservatives have senior politicians coming here to nottingham trent university and i'm not sure whether they will watch the debate but certainly after the debate which finishes at 930 people coming here and speak to journalists and you get huddles around the different figures as they give the analysis of what we heard and the journalists have lots of questions about what they've heard too so that is what will happen and the debate is what will happen and the debate is between 815 and 930 and you can follow it through any number of bbc outlets and then at 930, laura kuenssberg and clive my re—will be live to hear reaction from the spin room and then there is the news at ten as usual at ten o'clock. —— laura kuenssberg and clive myrie. and if you want to follow it online, you can do that through the bbc news website. hundreds of thousands of young people are eligible to vote for the first time in this election, so all of those parties will be trying to win their votes and what do they and other boaters make of the campaign is? as part of our election coverage, we

also here in nottingham trent university is my bbc news colleague, let me bring you in at this point,s she could watch it sitting on the sofa with someone else at the helm but she says that then goes away and it is a privilege to be hosting the debate tonight. he also says she is going tonight. he also says she is going to try and keep the politicians answering the questions that the public ask because this is part of the problem sometimes with these debates. the two leaders will have a message that they want to get out to the viewers at home and sometimes they divert away from the question that the member of the audience has asked and you will remember the first head—to—head tv debate because of course we have seen a lot of both rishi sunak and sir keir starmer talking to renee's general election campaign but the only other head—to—head was at the beginning this month with the itv debate. all the other tv programmes they have taken part where they have been interviewed alone and are answering questions from members of the public before they move onto other politicians. today is simil

this is the stage at nottingham trent university where sir keir starmer and rishi sunak will face offknow who, will be standing at. the other one just a very short distance away. it's actually quite intimate between the two of them. and in front of me over there an audience of 120 members of the public who will be peppering the two men who might be prime minister with questions. after more than a month of an intense general election campaign, this is the last set piece moment. it isa it is a funny thing, because as i said, it is quite an intimate stage but rishi sunak and keir starmer are not really primarily trying to win an argument with each other or even in the room, they are trying to win an argument with you, people who have not yet voted by post, who are waiting to make up their minds before they go and vote on thursday. and this is one of their last remaining big ticket moments to do so. the stakes are really high. i think you will see on their faces and in their manner later tonight that they know that as well. thank ou, that they know that as well. thank you. henry- _ and yo

welcome to the sweltering spin room here at nottingham trent university, a short distance away from whats of the debate. he would be asked a question and he would pivot to an area where he would pivot to an area where he would say that labour is being untrustworthy. when keir starmer spoke he interrupted him, being a bit of a bulldozer and then we'd have to refrain, the rishi sunak refrain of the evening, don't surrender to labour on tax, don't surrender to labour on tax, don't surrender to labour on tax, don't surrender to labour on immigration. surrender is quite a strong word to use in a political context but this didn't feel to me like some sort of grand one nation message from a conservative prime minister to the nation. this felt like a core vote strategy, trying to convey natural tory voters who don't know, to come out and vote and to persuade people who are currently heading in the direction of nigel farage, to head backin direction of nigel farage, to head back in the direction of the conservative party. i bumped into some of the prime minister's team afterwards and i have to sa

meanwhile outside nottingham trent university, there was a big protest going on and i think we heardbbc was stifling democracy inside its own auditorium by making people sign disclaimers that they wouldn't heckle. >> well, it's because they want the program to go smoothly. >> of course they want the program to go smoothly, but, you know, if it's an actual debate, then in a debate, people will sometimes become a little bit more animated and might disagree. and they should have their voice heard. >> i think there's also something about presenting a studio audience that actually isn't really a studio audience, because they've been paid to do it. no, i think it's a little bit disingenuous. >> no, i've got to say, this is how it works. this is this is television. television isn't real, well, it's not as real. >> i am pinching me. >> i am pinching me. >> real. >> real. >> so you have to definitely . i >> so you have to definitely. i mean, the bbc, the bbc's responded to this saying the debate had an equal number of people who intended to vote both conservative and labour, as well as some u
