team corbyn who believe mr corbyn i5 diametrically opposed views. believe mr corbyn is the salvation and then you have the vast bulk of labour candidates who think mr corbyn i5 bulk of labour candidates who think mr corbyn is the problem. norman for now, thank you very much. the liberal democrat leader tim farron has been campaigning in the south west. mr farron warned that a conservative government with a large majority would take people for granted. the liberal democrats have promised a second referendum on any brexit deal. the nhs is the focus of the green party today as they continue their campaign on the isle of wight. the party's co— leader caroline luca5 has accused the government of putting the our nhs through a cruel form of shock therapy. her party have pledged to give the health system a cash injection. alexander blackman, the former royal marine who was jailed for killing a wounded taliban fighter in afghanistan, has given bbc news his first television interview since he was released, following an appeal. the former sergeant who's been d

but team corbyn think it is a big vote winner for them. election team.forjeremy corbyn from the nurses union and no wonder, with labour promising an extra £37 billion, money to take a million patients off waiting lists. our health service is being dismantled by stealth. over the past seven yea rs, by stealth. over the past seven years, our national health service has been driven into crisis after crisis. a&e departments struggling to cope. waiting lists soaring and we saw last week the tory cuts have exposed patient services to cyberattack. labour are also to set more targets for hospitals. a&e departments will have to see most serious cases within an hour. cancer patients will have to be seen within four weeks. and labour will reintroduce a strict 18—week limit for waiting times. but are nurses confident labour can deliver? he has made some important commitments that we have been waiting for a long time to hear. he has promised to legislate on safe staffing and dedicate a minister to mental health and these are all important pledges that we look forward

team corbyn remain convinced the labour leader is a vote winner for them. more of the realjeremy corbyn. and just listen to some of the rousing support for the labour leader. whenjeremy corbyn became leader of the party 18 months ago, i can honestly say that in my adult life i had never felt as excited and exhilarated by party politics. so today and for the rest of the campaign, mr corbyn's beliefs, his views, his character are going to be centrestage. the economy is still rigged in favour of the rich and powerful. when labour wins, there will be a reckoning for those who thought they could get away with asset stripping out could get away with asset stripping our economy, could get away with asset stripping our economy, and ripping off workers and consumers. many labour mps would shy away from such language, but jeremy corbyn's supporters believe the electorate are tire offend politics as — tired of politics as usual. don't want to hear people giving out catch phrases, i want something different. that resonates to me and you knowjeremy corbyn is a kind man

under pressure, with waiting targets slipping and a&e sitting, team corbyn are convinced that the healththem. a warm welcome for mr corbyn today from the nurses union, and no wonder, with labour promising and no wonder, with labour promising an extra £37 billion, money to take an extra £37 billion, money to take a million patients of waiting lists. 0ur health service is being dismantled by stealth. 0ver 0ur health service is being dismantled by stealth. over the past seven yea rs, our dismantled by stealth. over the past seven years, our national health this has been driven into crisis after crisis. a&e departments struggling to cope, waiting lists soaring, and we saw last week the tory cuts have exposed patients services to cyber attack. labour are also to set more targets for hospitals. a&e departments will have to see most serious cases within an hour. cancer patients will have to be seen within four weeks, and labour will reintroduce a strict 18 week limit for waiting times. but our nurses confident labour can deliver? he has made some really important commitments to the nhs which we

team corbyn believe that the more that voters get to see and hear the labour leader, not through the and broadcasters, the more that they like him —— national press. jeremy corbyn issued this challenge... it's very odd that you have an election campaign where we go out and talk to people, all the time. and the prime minister seems to have difficulty in meeting anyone or having a debate. so, there is a debate in cambridge tonight. i don't know what she's doing this evening but it isn't far from london. i invite her to go to cambridge and debate her policies. debate her record, debate their plans, debate their proposals. and let the public make up their mind. well, theresa may has always refused to ta ke well, theresa may has always refused to take part in a live head—to—head debate with jeremy to take part in a live head—to—head debate withjeremy corbyn on television. a senior tory source this lunchtime said that there was no chance that she would be turning up no chance that she would be turning up in cambridge tonight. it may have looked like a sound strategy when mrs may had a hulki

no time to waste, enough selfies, time for team corbyn to spread the word. it is. it's proved to be extremely popular, even when it was leaked, it was popular. now they've seen more detail, it's even more popular. is it a winner, what do you think? of course, it's a winner. we're going to save the nhs, we're going to reverse the cuts to schools. 23 days, one purpose for these shadow ministers now. hit the road. just a shortjog from labour's big launch, in this bradford gym club it's clear labour has ground to cover. labour underjeremy corbyn, what do you think? i quite like his policies, but i don't think they're doable. what do you think? i agree, i don't think they're doable. why not? i just don't think they are. this is where the election‘s being decided, here where millions of us make up our minds before june 8. not many, maybe not enough of us, comb through detailed policy. but voters will decide should the state own and do more of what we need? can the country afford it? can we? and who do we trust? labour has a lot of popular policies. but the party h

i think team corbyn will have been pleased with how he came across.asn't rattled by the potentially difficult questions, around his past relationship with sinn fein or hamas, for instance or how he would oi’ hamas, for instance or how he would or would not use the nuclear deterrent. on domestic issues. he said he would like to see immigration come down but wouldn't give a number. theresa may's turn after that. it wasn't, as alex said, after that. it wasn't, as alex said, a harder encounterfor after that. it wasn't, as alex said, a harder encounter for the prime minister, perhaps not surprisingly because the tories have been in government for seven years, so there isa government for seven years, so there is a record to interrogate. she was asked about school funding, about police numbers. it wasn't always ease yr for her. nor was —— easy for her. nor was she thrown off course. she was asked about brexit. she wouldn't give a number in terms of how much to pay in terms of the divorce bill. she restated her view that no deal would be better than a bad dea

i think team corbyn and team may will both be pretty pleased.to be prime minister afterjune 8th will have another chance to make their case at a bbc question time special on friday. ben wright bbc news. the scottish national party will launch its election manifesto today. it was originally planned for last tuesday, but was delayed due to the manchester bomb attack. our political correspondent steven godden is in perth for us this morning; steven what's likely to be in the manifesto? good morning. you can see the general pitch on the banners behind me. that is a vote for the snp, a vote for a strong voice for scotland at westminster. this manifesto is key to their plans to maintain their dominance of the electoral map here in scotland, an outcome that they argue should bring with it influence over key areas of policy like brexit where nicola sturgeon wants a seat at the negotiating table. another key area, the prospect of a second independence referendum this year, winning the vote here in scotland would not only give them the right to hold that

we have had two years ofjeremy corbyn today, a lot of criticism, but his tea m today, a lot of criticism, but his teamnging today, absolute cobblers. some would say this was michael foot tribute act —— absolute jeremy corbyn. this was michael foot tribute act —— absolutejeremy corbyn. he has not shied away from putting forward his choices, his policies, and there is a very clear choice on the ballot paper. i think the labour party have managed to convert, everyone is talking about it and people are certainly talking about the boldness of it. tim, you get the front page of it. tim, you get the front page of the eye and then you get the alternative take on ayesha's which is fa ntasyland. boyle alternative take on ayesha's which is fantasyland. boyle the conservatives be licking their lips over this? i think this has worked well for the labour party over the la st 24 well for the labour party over the last 24 hours. they have had good publicity and jeremy corbyn looks like a happy warrior on the news tonight. it's a contrast with theresa may's quite scripted style but the one thing that isn't in the leak

team corbyn say it is not pa rt mr corbyn.eir policies this afternoon. in contrast, theresa may, of course, when she was pressed about this lea ked when she was pressed about this leaked document was more than happy to talk about it. just listen. from day one as prime minister, i'd been clear that i want to ensure we are supporting and looking after british people, and if we look at people who are living in the european union, i'm clear that are living in the european union, i'm clearthatl are living in the european union, i'm clear that i want to see an agreement where their rights are protected. of course it's reciprocal for eu citizens living here in the uk. that's why it's so important. we haven'tjust uk. that's why it's so important. we haven't just given those rights to eu citizens here in the uk, we are looking after uk citizens living in the european union. i want to see reciprocal arrangements so we the european union. i want to see reciprocal arrangements so we can look reciprocal arrangements so we can look after th

last few days, where he's gone in as an underdog and performed fairly well and people said, look, team corbynople see of jeremy corbyn, the more they get to like him. especially as he can talk on his own terms, he's not been a victim of labour party splits but getting these opportunities to put his views and policies forward. i imagine that's the calculation that's happened. five other parties will be here tonight. they have representatives here as well. we are just over seven days away from polling day. how much of a bounce could they get? there's a rumour doing the rounds about nicola sturgeon, the snp leader, turning up 110w sturgeon, the snp leader, turning up now thatjeremy corbyn is turning up. i have spoken to a senior snp figure who says that will not happen, they will stick with angus robertson, the snp‘s leader at westminster. this is a brace for seats at westminster, which is why he's doing it rather than nicola sturgeon. in terms of the other parties, look at the slot for this programme, bbc one, prime—time weekday. it will reach a lot of people who frankly maybe do not watch our

corbyn just made that speech. how controversial was the speech?” think teamave followed the military maxim that the best form of defence is attack, there is no point in trying to say that he has not opposed nuclear weapons and military intervention abroad, american foreign policy, he has always protested all his adult life against war from iraq to kosovo to the falklands, he is a regular anti—american protest. he is now offering a different vision of britain's roll on the world stage, different sort of labour party where the government would only act military intervention in very few circumstances and when authorised under international law. they would seek to work more to the united nations. the hope is that voters will respect him for being honest about his views, it will resonate in the aftermath of the iraq war, particularly with younger voters. the danger that it alienates more conditional labour supporters, who do take pride in our military history and our place in the world. the prime minister is visiting berwick—upon—tweed and our chief political corr

now, those mostly are the big nationalisations, he talked about, team corbyn are saying we didn't includeleadership of theresa may as she sees it versus jeremy corbyn leadership of theresa may as she sees it versusjeremy corbyn and she accused him of retreating into an edelogical comfort zone. so this was basically an attack press conference by the tories to try and take apart labour's big manifesto launch yesterday. and separately, norman, today, one of labour big backers is expressing his doubts about labour's prospects at the election. tell us more? extraordinary really in a way because come election time normally all the big political beasts come out and say how wonderful their side is doing and it's all going very well. no so len mccluskey who is jeremy corbyn's main man in the union movement and he is political muscle within the labour party. len mccluskey said, it doesn't look like we're going to winment in fact, we'll be doing well to win just 200 seats. that would be the worst result labour have ever had since the second world war. worse than mike al foot and len mccluskey seems

i think team corbyn and team may will both be pretty pleased.to be prime minister afterjune 8th will have another chance to make their case at a bbc question time special on friday. ben wright, bbc news. tiger woods has denied he'd been drinking when he was stopped whilst driving his car in florida yesterday morning. police charged him with being under the influence of alcohol — but the golfer has blamed an unexpected reaction to some medicine he had taken. prince harry will attend the launch of the uk's invictus games team and host his first buckingham palace garden party. the prince will meet the 90—strong team, who will take on the challenge of the paralympic—style competition at the toronto games in september. he's been the driving force behind the invictus games for injured, wounded and sick servicemen and women and veterans. that's a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 9.30. coming up in six minutes, the first in our series of election blind dates, where we bring two people with opposing political views together on a blind date over l

understandably, that is likely to cause consternation amongst team corbyn because it is an admissionom one of mr corbyn‘s key allies, but also be timing of it, just the day after the ma nifesto timing of it, just the day after the manifesto launch, which the team will hope will build support, build the labour party. to have one of your key allies saying you haven't got a chance is profoundly damaging. this morning is a very different tone from mr mccluskey. well, first of all the interview that i did with politico was a conversational piece and it was against the backdrop of if the opinion polls are to be believed that i made those comments. since then, labour have launched their manifesto, it is a fantastic manifesto, a manifesto for workers, for ordinary working people. a manifesto that will change britain for the good. the response that we have had from unite members has been incredible. that is why i was checking our polls that we do, constant rolling polls. and the response has been like something we've never seen before. i am now full of optimism. if i was having an interview t

so the view in team corbyn is there is a vulnerability here but more and order is traditionally a tory the home secretary amber rudd this morning insisted the tories have a good story to tell on crime. the fact is that crime has fallen by a third since 2010 and you are right there has also been control over budgets and less police officers but we have been investing in the police force in areas we believe they can make good progress with other elements of crime. but the point is what really matters here is the outcomes. we have seen crime falling while budgets have been controlled, which is surely a successful outcome. 0ne of the funny thing is i said at the beginning, taking a leaf out of the tony blair handbook, the difference is that back in 1997 when we remember tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime, crime was right at the top of the election agenda then. now when you look at the polling done about the issues that matter to voters, crime is right down at the bottom, only something like eight or 9% of voters rate it asa like eight or 9% of voters rate it as a really import

will it be me and my team, showing the strong and stable leadership our country needs, or will it bejeremy corbynhead of a coalition of chaos as we've just heard, made up of labour, the liberal democrats and snp. so much depends on getting the next five years right. our future prosperity, our place in the world, oui’ prosperity, our place in the world, our standard of living. and i'm determined to end every vote i can. because that will strengthen my hand in the brexit negotiations and help us secure in the brexit negotiations and help us secure the best deal for britain. these negotiations will not be easy. there are 27 european member states, united in their determination to get the deal that works for them. we must show the same unity of purpose here at home to ensure that we get a deal that works in our national interests as well. applause. and every vote for me and my local tea m and every vote for me and my local team will show that unity of purpose. it will strengthen my negotiating position, it will help us secure negotiating position, it will help us secure the best possible deal for fam

you vote for her team as she is a strong leader. jeremy corbynm the election... you talked about manchester. and ariana grande announcing her concert on sunday. in manchester. her concert of defiance is the daily mirror's headline. not just her but other big stars? that's a good headline, it was a cultural terror attack, striking at the heart of something that is very resonant ina lot of something that is very resonant in a lot of people's lives. going to a p0p in a lot of people's lives. going to a pop concert and the feeling is that they decided to carry on. have an even bigger concert. and a load of other megastars there. that is how to honour them and help victims. it starts with young fan bases like she has. a strong message going to terrorists, you cannot frighten or divide us. we will remain free and have this concert to show you... some people have suggested it is too soon? with people being treated in hospital and so on... it is fundraising to help the campaign. there's a concert on thursday from the other great music scene in manchester

corbyn? in today's papers, they looked dreadful. but in a funny sort of way the teameory is that the more people get to see and hear him they will see that he is honest, not trying to hide anything, he has his convictions and he is not hiding them. he does not tailor everything toa them. he does not tailor everything to a particular sound bite. hejust tells everything as he sees it. they think despite the dismal headlines in the mainstream media is the fact of getting him out there they think might begin to cut through a bit more with the electorate. it is not the sort of general election campaign we are used to. the focus seems to have been mainly on labour. what can we expect going forward? next week we get the manifestos or we expect to get all the main parties setting out the manifestos. this is where parties can no longer avoid difficult questions by saying you have to wait for the manifesto. we will have the manifestos and we will be able to see what they are going to do and how they are going to be followed. we will get the entrails of the policies the parties

corbyn for his past relationships with militant groups. scientists say they've made a "major breakthrough" in the battle against infections that are resistant to antibiotics. a us team says by modifying an existing drug they may be able to combat one of the biggest threats to global health. after days of airport chaos, the boss of british airways has apologised for the disruption caused by its computer meltdown, but refused to resign. he denies the crisis had anything to do with ba shedding large numbers of it staff. golfer, tiger woods, has denied he'd been drinking, when he was stopped while driving his car in florida. in a statement, tiger woods blames an unexpected reaction to prescription drugs. he has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. now on bbc news, it's time for world business report. no frills airline, ryanair, thought to be about to announce big annual profits. we'll find out what they are doing right while others struggle. more banks fines in the wake of the 1mdb scandal. singapore's uob and credit suisse are fined just over a million dollars for money laundering for transactions related to malaysia's scandal—ridden state fund. we

could it be someone from jeremy corbyn's team, trying to protect this radical manifesto, so it's in theied as having weakened and softened mr corbyn ‘s manifesto, which perhaps jeremy corbyn was my people can explain, if they lose the election, they didn't have the sort of ma nifesto they didn't have the sort of manifesto he wanted to campaign on. inafew manifesto he wanted to campaign on. in a few minutes, i'll be speaking to one of the journalists who received that leaked copy of the ma nifesto, received that leaked copy of the manifesto, the draft manifesto last night. but right now, let's go back to the breaking news of the last few moments. the bank of england has released its latest thoughts on the state of britain's economy. is itfairto is it fair to say some modest alarm bells ringing? i think that's absolutely right. what it said is that for 2017, there are some quite negative trends. those trends are around that old story. growth is likely to be below inflation, below the rate that prices are rising, so that means incomes are in reality falling. so the income squeezes back. an

teams where you are. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines: jeremy corbynrties. the labour leader said he'd changed his mind on taking part — because voters deserved to see leaders being challenged — and he invited theresa may tojoin him. i invite her to go to cambridge and to debate her policies, debate her record, debate their plans, debate their proposals and let the public make up their mind. but the prime minister is not taking part — she says she'd rather be out meeting voters on the campaign trail. i think debates where the politicians are squabbling among themselves doesn't do anything for the process of electioneering — i think actually it is about getting out and about meeting voters and hearing directly from voters. in other news — a breast surgeon who carried out unnecessary operations on patients leaving them scarred and disfigured has been jailed for 15 years by a judge at nottingham crown court. at least 90 people have been killed by a vehicle bomb, which exploded near foreign embassies in the afghan capital, kabul. 400 people were injured. n

team in lincoln. this is important, because len mccluskey and jeremy corbyn are very close and he is a huge financialhange of heart in a short space of time. the bbc understands only yesterday len mccluskey made those original comments when he effectively said he did not think labour could win this election and we understand he made them after he had seen the party's manifesto. this morning, he seems to suggest that is not the case, and as you heard there, he is more optimistic about labour's prospects. shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell was labour's prospects. shadow chancellor john mcdonnell was here not long ago, giving a speech to crowds of activists and members of the public in lincoln. he was asked on those comments from len mccluskey and seemed to play them down somewhat, seizing on then mccluskey‘s remarks today that he was more optimistic and while it is difficult for labour's party, they are confident they can turn things around. john mcdonnell was referencing policies unveiled in the ma nifesto referencing policies unveiled in the manifesto yesterday, that they are convinced they will prove p

corridor and the other team is on the other side so that they don't meet at all. what have we been hearing so far from jeremy corbyn about 35 minutes so he has been on for about 35 minutes so far. it was all quite polite, the questions from the audience first of all, he was asked about all sorts of things, from terror, to brexit, to his policies for corporation tax in the uk. one of the most interesting questions so far was about foreign policy and comments that he made after the manchester attack last week, talk about what he said, linking terrorism and foreign policy, he was asked why we should soft and foreign policy when groups like is don't negotiated —— don't negotiate, he reiterated his condemnation of the attack and also how he didn't want foreign policy that left parts of the world and governed. the most passionate question came from somebody talking about accusations of him being a sympathiser for the ira. he about accusations of him being a sympathiserfor the ira. he was asked about a specific commemoration that he went to four ira members. jeremy paxman said he went to that in order to start a dialogue

teams where you are. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines: jeremy corbyninterview with the bbc‘s woman's hour. theresa may says with brexit negotiations due to start days after the election, only she is prepared to lead britain out of the eu. the us pop star ariana grande will return to the uk on sunday for a benefit concert for the victims of the manchester bombing. the mother of zookeeper rosa king — who was killed by a tiger — says she loved herjob and wouldn't have done anything else. rolf harris says he's "relieved" after being formally cleared of indecently assaulting three teenage girls. prosecutors ruled out a further retrial for harris, who denied the charges. in a moment it will be time for sportsday, but first a look at what else is coming up this evening on bbc news. president trump has slammed germany saying the relationship is bad for the us. we'll be getting the latest analysis of news from the us and the uk in 100 days at 7pm. we'll take you through today's news from the election campaign. and a review of the papers with laura hughes from t

we will get a lot more speeches from jeremy corbyn because their team think while their policies are establishment media and communicate directly with voters. then, they think, they have a chance. studio: thanks. meanwhile, the conservatives have promised a cap and our correspondent explains. energy prices have been hot politics for some time, at the last election, labour promised a two—year price freeze, now the conservatives won to intervene in an energy market they say does not work for most people. writing in the sun newspaper, the prime minister says rip—off energy prices hit people on the lowest incomes hardest. switching to another tariff or supplier often brings bills down but seven out of ten households are on standard variable rates, usually more expensive than other plans on offer. so, the conservatives would give ofgem the power to impose a price ceiling for customers on the standard rates. the cap would be reset every six months and the conservatives say we would use gas and electricity bills by around £100 and electricity bills by around £100 a year. —— reduce bills. an

choice, i believe, between strong and stable leadership under me and my team or potential for coalition of chaos underjeremy corbyn going to get the brexit negotiations right and get the best deal for britain and get the best deal for britain and be able to take this country forward to a new future. as i say i'm going to be out there around and about talking to people about that. i think this is an important election and the only final thing i would say to you all is it's such an important election i hope everybody will go out and vote in this election. cast your vote because this matters. it's about your future. so that's enough from me and now, i'm very happy it take some questions. i'll try and look all—round when i'm asking for questions. who would like to kick off with the questions?” questions. who would like to kick off with the questions? i was wondering what your reason was why you wouldn't be doing any live debates through the election campaign? i'm approaching people in other ways. so i'm doing traditional campaigning which is out and about. i will be later on today i will be knocking on doors, not in m

fight and i have yet to meet anyone who would think farron would make a nicer restaurant than corbyn. my teamre on top of on homes, on education and policing are what people raise as their primary concerns people raise as their primary concerns and want to see addressed. that's what they need to feel we are on top of. brexit is still a big issue and i make no bones about the fa ct issue and i make no bones about the fact that if i'm re—elected i'll maintain the position in opposing leaving the european union. the best deal the prime minister can get... 0pposing leaving the european union or the single market? the european union. that's dead and buried, isn't it? no, i don't believe it is. the reason we have this election now is because theresa may knows over the next two years the negotiations unravel. it becomes clear what the costs and consequences are. we are already feeling them in terms of university, public sector recruitment, businesses, already you saw today, inflation, the pound has dropped. businesses are feeling that already. they're investing in amsterdam instead of london. we nee

corbyn. he says don't talk about jeremy. total but leadership. talk about the manifesto. it shows there is that concern amongst labour voters, and labour hq. the core members of teamit is a bad defeat for labour, what happens to jeremy corbyn? no doubt, the further away from london you get, you hear of lifelong labour voters saying i‘m fine with the policies, the problem isa fine with the policies, the problem is a leader. they are advised to talk about the policy is not the leadership. a significant quote, if there was a labour government, it would be collective leadership. they are acknowledging jeremy corbyn is a problem. looks like the conservatives will win, labour will move, then it will move to what happens to jeremy corbyn. move, then it will move to what happens tojeremy corbyn. they comment on some of the papers saying he should go immediately. others say he should go immediately. others say he should go immediately. others say he should stay on indefinitely. maybe not even to oversee a leadership contest, but as leader. it would be popular withjeremy corbyn supporters across the country. let's move to the mail on sunday. donald trump in saudi arabia. we

relationships betweenjeremy corbyn and tom watson have been fractious. it is not the dream team.a harmonious relationship. there could be positioning going on with this. it isa positioning going on with this. it is a start, a candid assessment of what labour's prospects are. the polls have conservatives up to 20 points in the lead. we know the polls are not super reliable always. there certainly is a mountain to climb in the words of tom watson. and the implications of his remarks, there is nothing in what he finds on there is nothing in what he finds on the ground or in private polling that contradicts what the public view is, otherwise he presumably would not say it. he is talking about labour supporters getting behind their local candidates. no mention of getting behind jeremy corbyn, going for a future labour government. it is about putting your local mps back in parliament to be your champions. the implication that if they do not do that, theresa may will have a huge majority and will be able to push through any she wa nts be able to push through any she wants in government
