they do it if they have ukip one and ukip two.ve ukip read by otherfar right... that is kind of a meme is an eight? eight meme of anti-semitic nature and far right circles. we know ukip had a very strong quasi—respectable brand and they are doing quite a good job of dragging that brand through the mud. 0ne interesting test case here is if they have enough loyalty to the old ukip and nigel farage and they noticed something very different about you can't know and they turned out it has not noticed and it will notjust the out it has not noticed and it will not just the conservatives out it has not noticed and it will notjust the conservatives but particularly through the conservative party. a lot of tories, your own people think that what theresa may has agreed is not a proper brexit. isn‘t that an entry for ukip to start threatening?” proper brexit. isn‘t that an entry for ukip to start threatening? i do think if you keep telling people that something is terrible they will think it is terrible and if you go to the opening part of wh

already come out and attacked him. -- ukip.is a surprise. if the eu elections turn into a proxy for the referendum, what will happen is that those parties, with a very clearly defined position on brexit, welcome it stands to reason, benefit from that. so that means the brexit party, very clear on leave. ukip, very clear on leave. it is assumed they will get votes on one side. on change uk and perhaps the lib dems will benefit. and because these elections come under proportional representation, they can really mop up representation, they can really mop up seats in the european parliament, if only forfour up seats in the european parliament, if only for four weeks or something like that, depending on how brexit turns out. but what we don't know, and this is the crucial point, is how leave supporters disappointed with how the last three years have gone, whether they will actually turn out to vote, or whether they are disgusted with the entire process and they will sit on their hands. i would process and they will sit on their hand

making a difference he is making an impact and drawing some attention remember five years ago he led ukip to first place in the european elections and it was the premier used to believe campaigns twenty sixteen referendum when now he is back in the spotlight by forming his own party where ukip is now under fire and today's figures really do suggest at the break that party is stealing votes from former ukip voters plus tory voters who are really angry with trees and maze failure to deliver bricks it but the ukip knew its leader which is gerrard backed and he insists that they remain the true bricks at party. we're not a party to really going to want to close down the previous party. we're not a party of conservatives you can't vote for their own party so they vote for. the tory party we are a real party this is the right decision these are. different social classes in this country you'll see. both the e.u. won't exactly be thrilled to have their parliament packed with the euro skeptics we heard earlier this week from the european union warning that britain could poison the union because of

these elections will also tell us ukip.ll us which of those parties is going to become the primary home for disillusioned brexit voters. we've seen disillusioned brexit voters. we've seen everything going on in parliament for the last two or three months. how much anger is there in the country particularly in areas that voted for brexit that parliament has not been able to deliver on that referendum ? parliament has not been able to deliver on that referendum? and what kind of impact do you think that will have in those communities? we saw theresa may offering money to some of them, saying they are the places where funding needs to go to to improve things. do you think there is real anger out there? absolutely there is real anger there. levers are disillusioned and fed up. the brexit vote was partly an expression of frustration with oui’ an expression of frustration with our social, political and economic settlement. a real sense that london and the south—east gets a lot but other regions get a little. and i think since the

former ukip leader nigel farage launches a new brexit party, and says it aims to change british politics for good. thousands of children in england are going to illegal, unregistered schools, according to the regulator ofsted, and it says the conditions in some of them are "appalling." and at 11:30 we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers joe twyman, director at the opinion poll deltapoll, and benedicte paviot, the president of the foreign press association and uk correspondent for france 24. stay with us for that. good evening. prosecutors in sweden say they're considering whether to reopen an investigation, into allegations of rape against the founder of wikileaks, julian assange. he was arrested yesterday, following ecuador‘s decision to revoke his asylum at its embassy in london, after nearly seven years. the us wants him extradited to face charges of conspiracy to hack a government computer, but labour says he shouldn't be sent to america. here's tom symonds. swedish prosecutors have been pursuing julian assange for years about rape, coercion and molestation

is there room for this party, obviously ukip exists but seems to be on the slide. going to work? is a going to work? the proportional representation, constituencies, you just need to win those votes. could it be enough for nigel faraj to return to the european your parliament if only for four weeks, remains to be seen. he saying that ukip is gone too far to the right and he provides, he and his new party provide a real alternative for those who just want to get out of the eu. and that very solid and consistent message certainly place them above the conservatives and indeed labour if you want to leave. people align more closely with the brexit identities than they do their party identities and what could be a consequence free election for the european elections this time around, that could be huge. not for the brexit party but also for the independent group. this one will not be consequence free, if they do go ahead and it is interesting that nigel faraj is saying this, they must go ahead. and given that three years after the referendum, they do go ahead, it will ab

in a non traditionally ukip area yet there's two things there the first thing the election ukip to quite well in these european elections and well is sending parliamentary elections before the referendum process so they had actually higher figures in those constituencies like like new poll before they're scraping their way back and they'll have a problem because nigel frauds won't be a member of new kipp will be a member of the brics it party so the right we could be split between the brics a party ukip on the conservative party and i do not see forty fifty sixty percent made peace coming from the u.k. . who are you are a skeptic just don't see it. and yeah i just think that that is really not not ready realizable so for number one that amount of any peace to a euro skeptic getting into the european parliament is not going to happen and you keep it that much better before the referendum in these constituencies and they're struggling their way back so. i think there's a lot of words but not really substance behind them are you in favor of another vote or not i would be in favor of them pu

asis, -- you get basis, he's got the tories —— ukip asis, —— basis, and the news that he is on coursevictory? i am a remainer, that he is on course for election victory? iam a remainer, i that he is on course for election victory? i am a remainer, i want things to get done, but if we can do a dealjust to stop nigel faraj from sitting in power —— farage, that would be great but i wouldn't underestimate him in terms of his power. there are potentially a lot of people who would be frustrated with the delay to brexit who will feel that parliament is stopping a process that was voted for by a majority... i think everyone is frustrated by the delay. yeah it's not even some people. but some people will see nigel farage's returned to the fray in a very direct way in elections is something they, you know, really welcome. some people will absolutely see it that way. i'm sick of these people who feel like they voted in the referendum, you know, brexit was the clear decider and they are at up and they want a hard exit. so many people feel that way. —— a hard brexit, what theresa may is trying to

use the ukip and nigel farage‘s face comes into your mind quickly.rim and murky. when ukip burst onto the scene it became a force and there were a lot of frustrated tory and labour supporters who were frustrated with the european union and they wanted a fresh voice away from the established parties. for a while it worked, but it has slid away now. i think without nigel farage at the helm ukip looks pretty rudderless. what is next? food. we were talking about nigel farage having a bit of an image makeover. here elizabeth truss, the chief secretary to the treasury, says she is tiring of a puritanical approach of public bodies lecturing us on what we should be eating and drinking and what the calories are. compared to 30 years ago we have so much more information about what is good for us information about what is good for us and what is bad for us. i go along with if it is something i really like, it is probably not that good for me and i can only have so much of it. i think the argument is you take this information and do everything with a bit of mode

the greens and ukip currently have no councillors at all in bedford.e that it will never have broad appeal? well, i do get that, yes, i absolutely do see that people do see us as a one trick pony. we aren't. 0bviously, yes, we are very much focused on the environment, but when there aren't any other parties that are, then it's down to us to, you know, focus on areas like that. is there any point in voting ukip anymore now that nigel farage has his new brexit party? it's a shame that he's done that and broken away from ukip for that, because i think it is going to split the vote, but although they declared themselves a political party, they're really a pressure movement rather than an actually electable force. and we are still a proper political party with ground roots. if elections are meant to bring renewal and certainty, the likelihood is that bedford will be just as divided after thursday as it is now. graham satchell, bbc news. the british speed skater elise christie has spoken about her struggle with mental health after her disappointments at the

it may well be tarnished, but ukip will also be standing in those elections as well, and certainly wef 2017 a whole range of issues apart from brexit being discussed, you cannot avoid these elections turning into some would say a de facto brexit referendum with perhaps a very polarised campaign. there was like nigel farage saying we should leave, the conservatives have led us down, and others saying they should be a second referendum, and ajeremy corbyn is not going far enough to endorse that. iain, thank you very much for that, iain watson at westminster. and we'll be hearing from other parties as the election campaign goes on. the headlines on bbc news. after the arrest ofjulian assange yesterday, the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, calls on ministers to oppose any attempt by america to extradite the wikilea ks co—founder. the education watchdog says english councils are spending tens of thousands of pounds putting excluded children in centres that are not registered as schools. new laws for upskirting offences. anyone caught taking a photo underneath someone's clothing without their

as campaigning got under way, the former ukip leader nigel fa rage officially launched a new brexit partyying he wants to "put the fear of god" into mps. our political correspondent ben wright reports. look who's back — with a new political party. nigel farage loves a stage. good morning. and at a metalworks factory in coventry, the former ukip leader promised to forge a democratic revolution, kicking off his latest campaign. i do believe that we can win these european elections and that we can again start to put the fear of god into our members of parliament in westminster. they deserve nothing less than that after the way they've treated us over this betrayal. this is preparation for elections to the european parliament, which might happen in may. the brexit party wants a full list of candidates, and some of the names have a familiar ring about them. annunziata rees—mogg. yes, that's the sister of the tory mpjacob rees—mogg. nigel farage said the new party would be free of any extremists. it also lacks a manifesto, or policies beyond brexit, but it's targeting voters angry the uk still

it may be that parties like ukip but also parties like change uk and nigel farage's brexit party mayand people may be spurred on turnout at these elections as an opportunity to show their displeasure with the entire date —— process. it may be that people are so disappointed in general, theyjust sit on their hands and say, ijust can't be bothered. i have had enough of it. long live the geeks! the jury at the inquests into the birmingham pub bombings 44 years ago, has found that a botched ira warning led to the deaths of 21 people. the jury heard that a coded warning call was made less than 10 minutes before the explosions because ira members struggled to find a working phone box. two massive explosions tore apart two pubs in the city centre in november 1974. the jury also found that there were no failings, errors or omissions in the police's response to the call. 0ur midlands correspondent, sima kotecha, reports. the one thing that will always stick with me is the smell — flesh, hair — that will never go from me. kevin burgess, more than 200 people injured. two explosions killing 21 p

the conservatives also lost ground, while ukip tripled its vote share to 9%. tomos morgan reports.d i hereby declare that the said ruth lorrainejones is duly elected as member of parliament for newport west. after 32 years in the hands of a welsh labour giant, the seat became vacant after the death of paul flynn in february. this by—election has taken place because of the sad passing of paul flynn, our friend. there have been many tributes to him over the weeks, but one thing stood out to me — everyone knew somebody helped by paul flynn. these words have been an inspiration to me throughout the campaign. after all, that's what we're here for — to do our utmost to help others. newport as a local authority voted to leave in the referendum, and brexit was a common theme on the doorstep. by—election turnouts are usually lower than general elections. 67% voted here two years ago, but this time around only 37% of the constituency came out to vote. 11 candidates stood this time, with the conservatives coming in second and ukip third — increasing their share of the vote. tomos morgan, bbc

and at a metalworks factory in coventry, the former ukip leader promised to forge a democratic revolutiontest campaign. i do believe that we can win these european elections and that we can again start to put the fear of god into our members of parliament in westminster. they deserve nothing less than that after the way they've treated us over this betrayal. nigel farage said the new party would be free of any extremists. it also lacks a manifesto, or policies beyond brexit, but it's targeting voters angry the uk still hasn't left the eu. that of course is because parliament has not yet approved the prime minister's deal, and if brexit isn't signed off here next month, then the uk is legally obliged to vote for a new crop of meps and that is something the government did not want to happen. clearly nobody wants to fight the european parliament elections. it feels like a pointless exercise, and the only way we can avoid that is by getting a deal agreed and done quickly, and if we can do that by may 22nd, then of course we can avoid fighting european parliamentary elections. to that end, in

the lib dems and ukip have hundreds of council seats between them, but only hold a handful of authoritiesich way the wind is blowing, like tory—held swindon, or bath. the conservatives were on a high last time these seats were fought in england, four years ago, and they're braced for a tough night. some analysts believe the tories could lose anywhere between 500 and 1,000 seats. we'll see. labour are leading in some national polls, but the way the seats are distributed, some say they may make fewer gains than the liberal democrats, and the lib dems are trailing in all the polls. there are elections in northern ireland, too, and all the main parties are involved, and where local councils are important. so what of the national backdrop? will there be anything here to encourage theresa may? well, frustration with brexit won't help the tories. labour's results may not quite reflect the fact that they've gained ground in some polls, and the lib dem results may look rather more encouraging than some of the polls suggest. remember, the european elections are just three weeks away, this time with

the conservatives also lost ground, while ukip tripled its vote share to 9%. tomos morgan reports.ins in labour hands. and i hereby declare that the said ruth lorrainejones is duly elected as member of parliament for newport west. after 32 years in the hands of a welsh labour giant, the seat became vacant after the death of paul flynn in february. this by—election has taken place because of the sad passing of paul flynn, our friend. there have been many tributes to him over the weeks, but one thing stood out to me — everyone knew somebody helped by paul flynn. these words have been an inspiration to me throughout the campaign. after all, that's what we're here for — to do our utmost to help others. newport as a local authority voted to leave in the referendum, and brexit was a common theme on the doorstep. by—election turnouts are usually lower than general elections. 67% voted here two years ago, but this time around only 37% of the constituency came out to vote. 11 candidates stood this time, with the conservatives coming in second and ukip third — increasing their share of the v
