three or 4000 votes, but you look at places like walsall which is pretty solidly labour, coventry, wolverhampton well for labour in june. we have heard all along that the conservatives are aware that theresa may seems to be the one figure that people like to see. so they are pushing her towards the front of the campaign. very much so. the party has been absent from this. it's all been about the reason may and her strong and stable leadership. my local team. it's rather presidential. it's not just the west midlands were the tories have done well it is also tees valley, places that are solidly labour and have been for years. although there is a blue tide, the labour party can point to successes in manchester and liverpool, they are making as big a deal as they possibly plausibly camp of their successes there. there is now addressing this up. the tories have done extremely well in areas that labour has traditionally been able to count on. the times front page says may cause the landslide, heavy losses for labour and ukip. —— theresa may on course for landslide. we mustn't extrapolate but one is rou

in the last few minutes, theresa may, who has been campaigning in wolverhampton has been talking aboutction victories. we have enjoyed very good results, particularly here in the midlands. but people love to think about whether people want to vote for myself orjeremy corbyn. none of the votes for that have been cast. i am taking nothing for granted. i need support from across the united kingdom to strengthen my hand. only a vote for me and my team will mean britain has the strongest and stable leadership that means we will get the best possible outcome from brexit. earlier that week, you give the impression that you believe people in brussels are trying to meddle with the election. what proof that you have about? what i have seenin that you have about? what i have seen in the last week is that the negotiations are going to be very tough at times. we need strong and sta ble tough at times. we need strong and stable leadership and the united kingdom to bring that to the negotiating table. when it comes to the choice, people will remember, there will be 27 countries on one side of the tab

this afternoon that is here what the prime minister has been saying goes that she has been in wolverhampton party enjoyed success in the selection of the regional mag, winning narrowly over labour. let's see what her view is of the impact those local election results will have on the general election. i'm very grateful for the support we received in the local elections. here in the west midlands people now have a strong local champion in the new mayor, andy street. the question people now face in the general election is, who should lead the country for the next five years, me orjeremy corbyn? not a single vote has been passed in the election yet. none of the votes cast yesterday will count in the general election on the 8th ofjune in the minds of european politicians, there is not a mandate to take into the brexit negotiations. i'm taking nothing for granted in the next five weeks. i need support across the ice ‘s kingdom to strengthen my hand for the only vote for me and my team will ensure britain has the strongest leadership we need in order to ensure we get the best deal for britain fro

and live now to our political editor laura kuenssberg who's in wolverhampton.was quite a personal attack on jeremy corbyn?m certainly was, george. you can faintly hear the jangling of tory nerves. and ten days out, it is not a time forflowery nerves. and ten days out, it is not a time for flowery language, it is not a time for appeals to the electorate about elegant philosophies, or even, time for more arguments about public services or more new policies on health or on education. this is a time, in their view, to go after the central question, who do the voters trust to ta ke question, who do the voters trust to take the country to the difficult complex of leaving the european union and the tories will no doubt use the kind of confusion we saw from jeremy corbyn over childcare as the kind of evidence to suggest again in his closing moments of the campaign, to suggest that he's just not up to it. no question in the last few days, we have seen the polls tightening and there is a new scepticism on the doorsteps towards the reason may. but with this time to go, th

it's not some kind of forecast about wolverhampton onjune kind of forecast about wolverhampton on junerhampton onjune the 8th, nothing like that. this is really a figure we've put together, john curtis and his team have put together, basically saying what would have happened if all the country had voted in these local elections yesterday. that is the sense of it for you. let's have a look at the projected national share. this is it. giving the conservatives 38% on the projected national share. it gives labour 27%, the lib dems18%, it gives ukip 5% and the others 12%. if we look at the change from the pns we offered in 2015, it's showing the tories up by 3%, labour down by 2%, in 2015, it's showing the tories up by 3%, labourdown by 2%, lib in 2015, it's showing the tories up by 3%, labour down by 2%, lib dems up by 3%, labour down by 2%, lib dems up by by 3%, labour down by 2%, lib dems up by 7%, ukip down by 8%, don't forget in 2015, we're not talking about 2013, the last local elections, this is pns from 2015. no change for the others. it's a very important figure we've just offered

in a moment will talk to vicki young who is following theresa may in wolverhampton — but first lets talkas been following jeremy corbyn's campaign. this memory lapse thatjeremy corbyn had, recalling how much providing free childcare for two—year—old is going to cost, how much of a setback is this being seen as in the labour campaign? well this was supposed to bea campaign? well this was supposed to be a day when the labour party and conservatives were getting back to the core messages of the election campaign. labour wanting to focus on social policy and socialjustice, public services. this afternoon in watford they have been talking about combating race discrimination and faced discrimination. and this for jeremy corbyn is a distraction. not being up on the numbers on a key policy that they are promoting. it does not come across well. for the labour supporters this afternoon this was a trivial matter, they want to focus on the substance of the ma nifesto to focus on the substance of the manifesto and think this is an unnecessary attention focused on this trip up in that interview but it

, not just birmingham, but the conflict right in the cities, notjust birmingham, but coventry, wolverhamptonlapsing? it could play a very big part in all this. the liberal democrats have been hoping, as we know, for brexit, should i say anti—brexit balance. cheltenham is their key target. they held it until the last general election. look at the shire county elections, the lib dems had 1a seats in gloucestershire going into them, coming out they have 1a seats, so that bounce looks flat at this stage. we are still a region of marginal seats, it's just where those margins are that seems to be changing. thank you very much. girls are being repeatedly trafficked to scotland by east european organised crime gangs. one slovakian girl was discovered to have been trafficked to glasgow three times. others have been sold to asian crime gangs and forced into sham marriages. the pursuit of profit has opened up diverse forms of trafficking. what you're watching ea rs of trafficking. what you're watching ears and illegal organ deal. how much do you want? 45. thousand euros or sterling? this remaining is s

our chief colitical correspondent, vicki young, is in wolverhampton, where the prime minister was campaigningesa may launched a very personal attack on gary corbyn, didn't she? yes, she did. i think conservatives are very keen to move on from that botched manifesto launch, when they had to do a u—turn on social policy. today, they are returning to the things they did before, it was leadership and brexit. it meant that theresa may did launch this pretty scathing attack onjeremy corbyn, saying that he simply was not ready to govern or lead. she pointed out references to nuclear weapons, saying he's reluctant to use those, talking about people that he had supported and wanted to attack our country, she said. so, really saying that he was not ready to be prime minister. she's trying to focus people's minds, nine days out, to say, we are about to choose our next prime minister, think about who you wa nt prime minister, think about who you want in the hot seat, is how she put it, when it comes to those talks on brexit as well. she came to the west midlands, because there are watts of marginal seats

our chief political correspondent, vicki young, is in wolverhampton with the prime minister.jeremy corbyn‘s stumble? yes, but i think there is a wider point, that she is trying to ta ke wider point, that she is trying to take this campaign back to where it was before they had to do that swift u—turn on social care policy, which conservative candidate said that had been a bit of a disaster on the doorstep. so, we are hearing very much the messages we heard nine or ten days ago from theresa may public it's all about leadership wittier strong personal attack onjeremy corbyn, talking very much about his qualities, or his failings as they would see it, of leadership. she says he's simply not fit to govern oi’ says he's simply not fit to govern or lead. she pointed to his will at once to use nuclear or lead. she pointed to his will at once to use nuclear weapons, or lead. she pointed to his will at once to use nuclear weapons, saying that he supported people who wanted to attack our country in the past. very much going forjeremy corbyn the man, and really trying to make people thin

it is great to be here in wolverhampton. i wonder how many of you saw the tv debate last night.ader for two years, he parliament for 34 years, being labour leaderfor two years, he is simply not ready to govern and not prepared to lead. he is not prepared to use the nuclear deterrent, he is not prepared to take action against terrorist, not prepared to give the police powers they need to keep us safe. not prepared to take a single difficult decision for the good our economy. not prepared to answer questions about his long track record of supporting people who want to harm and even attack our country. and with the brexit go see asians due to begin only 11 days after polling day, he is not prepared for those negotiations. but i am prepared. prepared to take the difficult decisions that leadership demands. prepared to do what is necessary to protect and defend our country, prepared to go into the negotiating chamber with the european union just 11 days negotiating chamber with the european unionjust 11 days after polling day. i am prepared, european unionjust 11 days after polling d

industrial towns it's more about those gritty cut—throat fight in the city notjust stoke—on—trent wolverhamptonbounce, but if you look to gloucestershire where they had 14 councillors and certainly had to do targetjob on them, as the data held until they had held on to the 2015 general election, they look flat as well. so, it is an interesting and changing picture. it is a marginal area, but the margins are different this time. thank you very much, patrick. 0ur correspondent catriona renton is in kirkintilloch where nicola sturgeon is campaigning today. what are the big issues? at here you will see there is a street soul, the razzmatazz has just about gone away because nicola sturgeon has gone on to her next engagement, but we have been at and about this morning. this is one of the constituencies at the snp took into that and 15 they took it from the liberal democrats. they campaigned hard to hang on to it and the liberal democrats see it as one of their target seats. we went to a pie shop where the first minister was making pies and making jokes about her family and that she had managed to kee
