this is how jeremy corbyn responded. when you say you'll get it done, really, mrjohnson, you're going to embark on probably seven years of negotiations with the united states on a trade deal. you have already indicated that you will allow our national health service to be put at risk by a trade deal with united states. you have already indicated they will do a canada style agreement, which took at least seven years to negotiate. so you are not going to get it done in a few months and you know that perfectly well. jeremy corbyn insisting that boris johnson can't simply get brexit done, has been ready deal perhaps already going off because i will ta ke already going off because i will take ages to negotiate a trade deal. we are stripped loosely fairly at the bbc, we have heard from boris johnson, we have heard of question jeremy corbyn, we have heard from mps from the two main parties... one party, a party of government in scotla nd party, a party of government in scotland that wasn't invited tonight was the snp. you weren

value put jeremy corbyn and number ten? they talk over each other ido they talk over each other i do not think we are going to get an answer. thank you. you will get plenty more reaction from people here and the spin room, live testing and stuart out of the beef we can bring matt hancock in and added mcdonald. nice to see you. thank you for being with us. as you neutral on the brexit referendum question mark adam and mike i'm asking the questions. they talk over each other people who voted to remain horrified... it is essentially importantly bring people together and that is the position ofjeremy corbyn. so he can be the honest broker. how long would he be neutral? we have said very plainly that immediately upon being elected we would resolve ideal within three months because the work has already been done, keir starmer and jeremy had those conversations with the eu, they know they are receptive to a customs union added to that alignment, it is a sensible way forward and be put that opposite the option to domain that will g

jeremy corbyn wasn't alone in getting laughed at. the audience did the same when borisjohnson was talking about truth in politics. mrjohnson, this is about personal integrity and individual character. does the truth matter in this election? i think it does. and i think it's very important. i have been very clear. our political editor laura kuenssberg was watching closely. she said this on twitter well the pollster yougov has already conducted a snap poll. it asked people — it's virtually split right down the middle. borisjohnson 51% — jeremy corbyn 49%. watch it all is well, what did you make of it? what did you put out of the most significant elements? 52, 48. it was within the margin of error and i think that is possibly correct because both of them played to the strengths. borisjohnson putting jeremy corbyn on the back foot especially with the question of a labour referendum to the leader of the labour party saying whether or not he would leave or remain in their referendum and he is asked the question and counted ten times, a

both don't wa nt this jeremy corbyn story. both don't want to secularjeremy corbyn will doa want to secularjeremy corbyn will do a channel for climate change tonight. but i think borisjohnson is not doing it, we don't know whether he will do that and your neil debate. you have to think about what the advantage is for him doing it. if he decides not to do it, he will take a hit, people say he is a chicken. 0ne will take a hit, people say he is a chicken. one day a bad headlines, is that worth taking for a terrible interview that can be played over and over again on twitter? i think people in number ten — ncc hq will be making that decision at the moment, which is the worst option for them. you mentioned in number ten it, and it strikes me that dominic cummings is still in number ten. true, he's kind of out of the... 0ut ten. true, he's kind of out of the... out of the campaign. but why would borisjohnson... the... out of the campaign. but why would boris johnson... element the... out of the campaign. but why would borisjohnso

equally, jeremy corbyn was waving a document around saying it was at risk. any sense, they are both clashing on very familiar territory. i don't think there was a clear winner, there is going to be a snap poll, so we will see what the wider public thing. at the moment i am joined by michael gove, the conservative government mrs nair, and and requiring of the labour party. let's start with firstly. you are consistently behind in the polls since the election started, and corbyn was very familiar with his own familiar areas. but did he break through and create an ointment that will connect with

did i see jeremy corbyn? i'm meant to say borisjohnson. more... did i see jeremy corbyn? i'm meant to say boris johnson. he asked if we could talk later about this. it is the classic politician's trygg, i will see you later in the bar—— trygg, i will see you later in the bar —— he did the classic politician's trick. it did expose the flanks. what is interesting is the flanks. what is interesting is the day itself doesn't matter as much is the momentum or lack of momentum that you then gain over the subsequent days. it will be interesting now to see how the headlines adapt on saturday and sunday, what the discussions are about on the sunday political programmes, and where that then goes into next week, because the debates are all about the momentum that you gain from it. and the headlines may be very positive or maybe very negative in one direction or the other but it is how it resonates with the public that is important. up with the public that is important. up until now we haven't seen these events have much of an impact, but you never know. there was have the po

we note that they feel that jeremy corbyn really has not ta ken feel that jeremy corbyn really has not taken this really 5eriou5ly at all. and he left that the parties some time ago. but it is easy to brand him them. make it may not, cut through to those marginal 5eat5 a5 the tories are hoping, but the take away from this may be that the pressure that it puts on other moderates than the labour parties to pick a side because now that there's been this public disavowal from highly respected figures within the party and people who have already essentially left, it really does hold their feet to the fire on whether or not they can continue to support a prime minister and this is the point they treated me very clearly that essentially, there's nowhere to hide if you are endorsing a labour party, you're also endorsing jeremy corbyn and there is no two ways about it. the article before we move on, in fact if you can move on to the metro, the metro i think the headline really does describe how it may be coming across. but he offset some very critical comments to make against jeremy corbyn and

jeremy: that's the question the market will be asking. that time sensitivity will start to translate and transmit itself into pressure on the federal reserve. we heard from the federal reserve chair through the course of the last couple of days saying that he things the economy is in a good place. is relativelyy appropriate. if there is going to be that negativity starting to come back into the trade side, i think that will be starting to be tested by the market once again, and we will start to see that market pressure starting to build into the early part of 2020. if we aren't going to see that sort of impetus coming back from the trade side, then we are going to need some additional artificial support. vonnie: and that is the problem with this type of waiting. time passes, but it's not like there are no detrimental effects. the are many, and they get worse as time goes on. jeremy: yes, that is true. what we are seeing is that the data is generally of a subdued nature. we can argue whether we are nearer the trough of this particular cycl

jeremy corbyn says higher taxes for everyone. we know the only way we can make huge investments in the nhs is if we also have a strong and dynamic market economy. john mcdonnell has literally said that he wa nts to mcdonnell has literally said that he wants to ferment the overthrow of capitalism. that is his mission. so he says. we stand up for the people of this country when other nations threaten us with harm and it was quite incredible when russia ordered the salisbury poisonings. jeremy corbyn seemed to actually take the side of moscow. above all, we will get brexit done. and, unleash the potential of the whole country. they wa nt potential of the whole country. they want together and delay, deadlock and division, doubt and despair, all of which will go with another referendum. i say to you all, let's give that madness a mess. i want you to imagine what this country could be like injust ten to imagine what this country could be like in just ten years as a result of the decisions we are taking now and have taken over the last

that was between jeremy corbyn and borisjohnson. but of course there are more than two parties competing in this election. the snp leader, nicola sturgeon, will make a speech in dundee later, in which she'll claim that a conservative victory will put public services under threat. her holyrood colleague humza yousafjoins us now. good morning to you and thank you for joining good morning to you and thank you forjoining us. we were in the so—called spin room last night doing that debate? i want to pick up on some of the things that were said. borisjohnson said of some of the things that were said. boris johnson said ofjeremy some of the things that were said. borisjohnson said ofjeremy corbyn that labour had probably already done a deal with the s&p. is there a deal already done? short answer, no. but yes, there was just under 30 mentions of the snp and nicola sturgeon, but of course we were not allowed to be in the room. if you area allowed to be in the room. if you are a viewer in scotland, many of your viewers are from scotland, t

we discovered jeremy was visiting. we are delighted to have people visit oui’ are delighted to have people visit our site. he didn't come inside did he? i don't believe he came into the build, i think it was outside but he would have been very welcome to come inside as indeed anybody is. we run public tours of the sites. we are proud of the safe operating environment we offer of the great jobs we create, of the imwants we pgy- jobs we create, of the imwants we pay. we do pay depending on the area of the country, the 9.50 or 10.50 an hour and we create massive opportunities for people to learn and develop, as directly with us or through programmes like career choice, orapprenticeships through programmes like career choice, or apprenticeships where we made a commitment to create over 1,000 this year. the headlines on bbc news. the health secretary, matt hancock, rejects calls from england's gps to remove home visits from their contracts, calling it a "complete non—starter". from their contracts, jeremy corbyn defends

as jeremy corbyn as carrying... he is trying to hedge his facts and in a position of renegotiating another brexit deal with the eu and having a second referendum and him trying to stay neutral and that. it does come across as fast does not come across as the clearest in the world. across as fast does not come across as the clearest in the worldm straddles both leave and remain supportive so therefore it has to try to unify the country and say we all deliver a better deal than the conservatives and so put that back to the country and that is their possession. famously having the cake and eat it. it reflects... it reflects the fact that labour worries that its vote is more reflective of both sides of the brexit argument than the other party and now particularly having been kicked out and there are very few moderates left in the conservative party and there are very few remainders left in the conservative party. sell at least it has clarity and has moved a huge amount onto the brexit tariff where the lib dems are going

presumably, jeremy corbyn in some ways ca n presumably, jeremy corbyn in some ways can afford to look a bit more relaxed. because borisjohnson arguably has more to lose as you say as the sort of sitting prime minister, up on the stage?” as the sort of sitting prime minister, up on the stage? i think that's probably too. certainly the conservatives are consistently ahead in the opinion polls and there are fewer expectations onjeremy corbyn, in other words if you does better than expected, some people may see that as a victory. that said, boris johnson has the benefit of incumbency, he has the prime minister. you can also make announcements about what he's doing in office and what he intends do if continues in office, something which jeremy corbyn cannot do. he has to convince the that he could be fit to go to number ten. when it comes to the policy differences, boris johnson, surprise surprise, will be concentrating on getting brexit done. his slogan, even put on the side of a campaign bus. jeremy corbyn, the onus on him, which is more difficult, to try to broaden the debate, get awa

boris johnson jeremy corbyn? we are going to nationalise anything but it isn't dissimilar to the kind of investment the conservatives have been talking about since 2014. when ijoined the government. they talk about this in 2015, it definitely contributed to billion pounds to it at that point. so this is a question of — you are right, who do you trust on it, but jeremy corbyn has been so successful he has definitely pivoted the conversation to where he is, which makes it much harderfor us to have credibility. best quote of the whole broadband stories from john mcdonnell, thank stop going back to the 19705, they didn't have broadband in the 19705. the 19705, they didn't have broadband in the 1970s. in the manifesto, they had an idea of having a nationalised telecommunications company, a while back, and interestingly, thatcher privatised bt in 84, that was an unorthodox really radical thing to do. and this would be like a really radical, unorthodox giant thing to do. it's ringing alarm bells were business and they

jeremy corbyn said he would force companies to pay theirfair share in tax. big companies that operate in britain, infuture, you big companies that operate in britain, in future, you are going to have to pay taxes in all of your operations in this country. you will not be able to offshore your tax bill to some lower tax regime. the conservatives are due to pubish their official manifesto. we find out what voters in one of the south—west‘s most deprived constituencies are hoping for. this one policy area that may come under scrutiny is social care. the conservatives have said they plan to invest an additional £1 billion a year, but will this be enough? the health secretary, matt hancock, rejects calls from gps in england to reduce the number of home visits from their contracts, calling it a "complete non—starter". more businesses turn their back on prince andrew. barclays withdraws support from the duke's mentoring scheme pitch at the palace. and coming up on click at 12:30pm, will google‘s entry into gaming mean the end of the console? plus, a britis

then thinking tonight is jeremy we just called him jeremy vine. then thinking tonight isjeremy corbyn going head with borisjohnson on itb at 8pm and a head—to—head big prime ministerial debate. we have never seen that before where two candidates have gone head—to—head like that. there have always been other people in the next. not appearing in the debate tomorrow night will be just once and of the liberal democrats or nicola sturgeon of the snp. they lost a legal challenge today where they tried to get themselves spots on the stage. you can listen to election cast on bbc sounds and we will be back tomorrow. thank you forjoining us. that evening, after what has become a very rare dry and sunny day for autumn what follows is the coldest night of the week. for some today you can notice here, frost never actually melting on some of the pla nts actually melting on some of the plants and parts of scotland and one or two spots below freezing all day long and temperature is tumbling again under the clear skies and blue colour showing how widesprea

jeremy corbyn arrived in salford greeting supporters outside, promising to invest much more money in the nhs, while borisjohnson‘s cavalcade swept in with the prime minister keen to turn many of his responses to brexit. full market access for us products to our national health service. you are going to sell our national health service out to the united states and big pharma. mr corbyn is trying to conceal the void at the heart of his brexit policy and refusing to answer the question of which side he would take. coming up, we'll hear from our reality check correspondent, who will fact—check what the leaders had to say. a leaked report describes a toxic culture at a shrewsbury hospital that left babies stillborn, others brain damaged, and parents still searching for answers. officials in the netherlands say at least 25 people have been found in a refrigerated container on board a ferry bound for the uk. and at 11:30pm, we will be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, dawn foster and lord jones. stay with us for that. good evening. with just over three weeks to

jeremy corbyn will have hope to have put this question behind him. his opponents want it to remain front and centre. tom barton, bbc news. in other election news... the conservatives have promised to double the funding for dementia research over the next decade. the extra £83 million a year has been described by the party as the "largest boost to dementia research ever." more than 850,000 people suffer from dementia in the uk. labour has pledged to put an extra tax on foreign companies and trusts buying property in the uk. if they win the general election, the party would charge offshore organisations an extra 20% on their purchase. labour says the extra £35 billion a year raise by the measure would go towards public services. gps have voted to reduce visits to patients' homes, saying they "no longer have the capacity" to offer them. doctors supported the proposal at a meeting of english local medical committees yesterday. but the health secretary, matt hancock, said the idea of taking home visits out of gps‘ contracts was a, "complete non—star

the country vote is a big voice, only can be prime minister, jeremy corbyn or borisjohnson i think jeremy corbyn is completely unfit to lead our country in the labour party. i tell them that that they they should be voting for boris johnson of the selection. my life, i can't believe it's come to this. johnson of the selection. my life, i can't believe it's come to thism was an astonishing thing to hear, there's no love lost betweenjeremy corbyn and him. ian austen quit the labour party not so long ago, he has been seen as an independent and has decided to stand down. at the suggestion that he is not a labour man is for the birds. he was one of gordon brown's key henchmen and for him to come to this conclusion and feel that he had to say this publicly is an astonishing journey to me that he is deeply, and deeply unhappy. people been talking about today and it plays into this wider sense of the labour party that many people fear that people just do not wa nt people fear that people just do not want to trust jeremy corbyn and it is not because he has tried to close down the anti—semitism p

another paper going with the jeremy she had the most to see. another paper going with thejeremy corbyn neutrality line. who do you think handled this the best? nicola sturgeon. hands down? yes. they 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

has jeremy corbyn had equalities training?” more. has jeremy corbyn had equalities training? i don't know. i know he has implemented more training for members. has he been on your training programme?” training for members. has he been on your training programme? i don't know. do you think he should? i am not sure. my understanding ofjeremy is he has been an anti—racist campaigner all his life. i think understanding anti—semitism is something that he does understand. if all your members need to go on, then surely the leaders? but i have not been on the training. to my understand anti—semitism from my own experiences? yes. —— do i understand? it is only right that i stand shoulder to shoulder with my jewish friends at the jewish community. i want labour to be a natural home for the jewish community. we had to listen more, we have to do more as a labour party anti—labour movement. have to do more as a labour party anti-labour movement. your race and faith manifesto is out today, why are you launching one?” faith manifesto is out today, why are you launching one?

, jeremy corbyn, he is in his element when he is campaigning. and if you look at the ground war, the conservatives are struggling to get people out to campaignfor are struggling to get people out to campaign for them. especially young people were as labour or seeing the crowd, so the first debate, obviously will be very interesting. and johnson seems to be going on brexit and jeremy corbyn is for the nhs. we are still far away from the nhs. we are still far away from the nhs and anything can happen.|j nhs. we are still far away from the nhs and anything can happen. i agree that completely. is 51.7 and 5248 is something i seem to remember happening and remained, ignored that one so happening and remained, ignored that one so why would they ignore this poor result as well. since you, we will invite you back whenever, but what do you think of these decisions that they have made that sky have made in the bbc have made on who is in and who is out. are they justifiable in the nature uk politics has never been more...|j think where the problems is, you

starting with jeremy corbyn. they are going tonight. starting withjeremy corbyn. obviously they are going tonight. starting with jeremy corbyn. obviously your paper has had something to say about the policy yesterday. do you think it is about the policies themselves, 01’ it is about the policies themselves, or is it, as ailbhe says, about trust? sigh and i think that is right, the credibility problem. yes, i think. i think they find voters don't look at jeremy corbyn and some sort of great mastermind, evil, you know, but they look at him as a bit dithering. they quite like him, they know his heart's is in the right place... a massive crowd outside the university. sigh am i always big crowds outside universities and i think that will continue for a while. -- yes, always a while. -- yes, always big rights will stop what he is like four is his compassion but it is the deliverability. i think they find it quite hard to believe that his massive promises can be delivered but that also he can take tough decisions well

it would be really, really dramatic, in a way, watching jeremy corbyn and listening to jeremy corbyn and listening to jeremy corbyn and listening to jeremy corbyn today, kind of felt to me like it's the manifesto that he's a lwa ys me like it's the manifesto that he's always wanted to present. he's been the labour leaderfor always wanted to present. he's been the labour leader for four years and it was kind of an application for the principles he is known for in the principles he is known for in the 2019 setting. the big risk of course for the labour party is whether or not there are enough people in the country who are actually up for the really dramatic scale of change that they are arguing for. the polls, which we should be careful about, the polls at the moment suggest probably not, but the election is three weeks tonight and we saw last time, in 2017, that the manifesto day for the labour party didn't get them to number ten, but it did create a big moment in the campaign that began to change the dynamics. and the amount of money that's been donated to political parties since the

joining us now is jeremy stretch. show, jeremy. happy friday. it looks like it could be a noisy jobs report. jeremy: that does make it rather more difficult to read because of the impact of the gm strikes. automatically, you are going to be taking that and adding it back to what the actual number is. in a sense, it's not just about jobs today. we should not lose sight of the fact that it is manufacturing ism. think about some of the things chairman powell was talking about on wednesday when he cut rates. it was in effect saying look at the data, look at the impact of the manufacturing slowdown and see how that is going to reflect. the forward-looking survey data take on ever greater importance so it is not just about payrolls today. nejra: one of the big questions out there is whether the weakness we are seeing in manufacturing feeding into services and then hitting the labor market, so if you put together jobs and the ism, what signals will you be looking for? jeremy: are we seeing moderation? i think that is inevitable. is that moderation turn

they want an end date, today jeremy tired, weary, fatigued. they want an end date, todayjeremy corbyn gave them the labour end date although without a do or die pledge. yes, all right, norman smith, and vicki young. thank you. throughout the general election, the bbc is fact checking the big claims made by all the political parties. our reality check correspondent chris morris is today looking at the pledges made by labour and the liberal democrats. so first of all, the liberal democrat claim of £850 billion remain bonus, help1, a forecast not a guarantee but this figure, £10 billion a year overfive a guarantee but this figure, £10 billion a year over five years. and it's based on the fact that nearly all independent economists say they think the economy would be bigger if we remain in the eu than any form of living. the liberal democrat forecast says it thinks the economy would be 1.9% bigger in five years time. which seems to be in the para meters time. which seems to be in the parameters of what those economists say. what it doesn't take

since jeremy years. it burst into the election campaign today. sincejeremy corbyn has been in charge, there have been co nsta nt has been in charge, there have been constant accusations that labour has allowed racism against jews constant accusations that labour has allowed racism againstjews to creep in. right in the middle of his contest he is right back in the middle of it. a leader of one of the country's main religions actually warning against a vote for labour. writing in the times the chief rabbi says, jews have watched with incredulity. labour's handling of the issue is incompatible with the british values of which we are so proud. the rabbi suggests a new poison sanction from the very top has taken root. with extraordinary timing jeremy corbyn was also due to attend labour's race and faith manifesto today. a set of plans to improve the lives of black, asian and ethnic minority people. but an hour later than planned, after the choir had entertained the audience, he took the stage. there is no place whatsoever for anti—semitism in any sh

for me jeremy corbyn is the winner. neither party represented anything new in what they brought to the table, but jeremy corbyn new in what they brought to the table, butjeremy corbyn is new in what they brought to the table, but jeremy corbyn is clear new in what they brought to the table, butjeremy corbyn is clear on the nhs, health care and education and doing the best for the people. boris was all about i have done this, we have done this, but what improvements are you going to make? his focus wasjust improvements are you going to make? his focus was just brexit. well, our three members of our focus group are here now. rhys edwards is an 18—year—old student. this is the first time she will be old enough to vote in a general election. jess young is 30 and voted for the conservative party in 2017. and monique hylam is a 24—year—old nhs supervisor and voted for labour at the last election. also with us is former strategic advisor to jeremy corbyn james mills. and joeyjones, who was an adviser for the former pri

unlike jeremy corbyn, for remaining in that referendum. unlikejeremy corbyn, they're very to say now, i will campaign for remain, but actually they would argue that the labour code in their seats perhaps overrule their leave voting in 2016. but they would argue that some of that has changed, and actually the labour voters mostly voted remain, so perhaps it wont have so much of an effect as you might think. ok, stay with the telegraph. formersoldier might think. ok, stay with the telegraph. former soldier had been under un—imaginal pressure over worked in syria. we are talking here about james, who was found dead stop yes, real report on the mystery around his death, the former british army officer who was a key backer of the syrian white helmets in that you know, experts told us he was under all sorts of pressure, meanwhile, in istanbul, where it was said that the line is that he has had a fall, investigators are investigating the execs or to connect circumstances of what was an expected suicide, but it's too soon to say what happened, a

of course, jeremy corbyn and labour? of course, jeremy corbyn and the labour party are going to do and the labour party are going to do a deal and they probably already have done with nicola sturgeon and the snp, to form a corbyn and sturgeon coalition and the price of that deal, the price of nicola sturgeon's support, let's be no doubt, she's made it absolutely clear, would be a second referendum on the union. i thinki ought clear, would be a second referendum on the union. i think i ought to clear, would be a second referendum on the union. i thinki ought to be able to reply to this nonsense. will you be able to reply? it is nonsense, the idea of a deal between labour and the nonsense, the idea of a deal between labourand the snp, nonsense, the idea of a deal between labour and the snp, there is not going to be a coalition between labour and anybody else, no deals have been done and no deals will be done. julie, i listen very carefully asi done. julie, i listen very carefully as i always do to mr corbyn. i did not hear

for as johnson's about a festive freezes the tax rate of 80 national insurance and income tax while jeremy corbin's will raise taxes for people earning more than $100000.00 a year both parties have made a big pledge to the national health system the tories are promising $50000.00 more nesses labor is saying it will increase spending by more than 4 percent a year and labor's announced a 500 $15000000000.00 fund to tackle climate change and to achieve most of its emissions reductions by the 2030s while the conservative party's recommitted to its goal of being carbon neutral by 2050. let's now go to our guests joining us all from london we have tony travers festa a professor at both the school of public policy in the department of government at the london school of economics we also have alan wager who is a research associate at the u.k. and changing europe policy think tank and we have sonia panelled author of just boris a tale of blonde ambition sonia was also the former deputy to parse johnson at the daily telegraph a warm welcome to you all now we've just outlined some of the major commit

about, does your train jeremy corbyn is talking about, does yourtrain run on jeremy corbyn is talking about, does your train run on time, am i jeremy corbyn is talking about, does yourtrain run on time, am i being ripped off by energy companies, is really, really attractive. then he sta rts really, really attractive. then he starts to talk about brexit and people don't understand what labour's policy is. it's not explainable in a couple of sentences. and that's really where labour in this election are divided, thatis labour in this election are divided, that is where labour is falling down. some people have concerns about how they are going to be paid for but they are really unsure what labour has to say about brexit. let's look at frankfurter allgemeine. interesting a german paper would be talking about labour's manifesto. it's fascinating. a lot of people are looking at the uk general election, just as we look at german elections. i spend a lot of time with german policymakers. part of angela merkel‘s party, the christian democrats. the story this morning is saying, can labour whe

jeremy corbyn will have hope to have put this question behind him. his opponents want it to remain front and centre. tom barton, bbc news. with me is our political correspondent tom barton. let's just deal with jeremy let's just deal withjeremy corbyn first of all. presumably labour has been under pressure to be even more explicit on what the later's position would be. does the party hope that by saying its ability at this stage of the campaign it will move on, and the controversy will pass? that is exactly their hope, that by as you correctly observed jeremy corbyn asked about this time and time again over the last few weeks, as have the people around him, and up until last night they haven't particularly had an answer. we wait and see what the party decides has been the holding position. this is a change from that. he got a bit of flak on monday and the itv debate when he stated that position. exactly. this is a development, saying quite clearly i am going to remain neutral during this. absolutely with the hope of appearing to answer the question.

chanting: "0h, jeremy corbyn!" sincejeremy corbyn‘s been in charge, there have been constant accusations that labour has allowed racism againstjews to creep in. mr corbyn, are you fit for high office, sir? right in the middle of this contest, he's right back in the middle of it. a leader of one of the country's main religions actually warning against a vote for labour. writing in the times the chief rabbi says, jews have watched... claims they are doing everything they can to crack down on it are a "mendacious fiction", he says, and labour's handling of the issue is "incompatible with the british values of which we are so proud". the chief rabbi suggests "a new poison sanctioned from the very top has taken root". with extraordinary timing, jeremy corbyn was always due to attend labour's race and faith manifesto today. choir sings. an hour later than planned, he took the stage, repeating that he abhors racism in any form. there is no place whatsoever for anti—semitism in any shape or form, or in any place whatso

this is presumably why jeremy corbyn said this. it is not anti—business to be against poverty pay, it is not is meant to say that corporation should pay their taxes just as smaller companies do. it is not anti—business to want prosperity and every part of our country, not only in the financial centres of the city of london. what do we make of whatjeremy corbyn had to say? his big announcement was all these claimant apprentices. you look at actually what is behind it and it is not quite what is in the headlines but we will see with the labour ma nifesto we will see with the labour manifesto as we had this week, the labour party is making a big push on environmental policies, what they called the green industrial revolution. a bit like when the previous government introduced, or tried to really change up apprenticeships and tried to really encourage business to take on apprentices, there is always warm feelings for the notion on the principle behind it, but then they tend to get very cross and upset about the government handling

jeremy corbyn, i'm not sure. no, ithink honest. jeremy corbyn, i'm not sure. no, i think it's a personal thing with jeremy corbyn. no, i think it's a personal thing withjeremy corbyn. i don't really like the man. i don't trust him. he's not done anything for us. is not mentioned about small businesses and asa not mentioned about small businesses and as a business owner i have to look after my business. so find job not seen and of help in this area, but we have had conservative governments for some yea rs, conservative governments for some years, so your not play with the co nse rve years, so your not play with the conserve does for that. no, i am not blaming either, i don't know who i am blaming. your business is literally around the corner. the high street is deteriorating badly. why is that? i don't know, maybe taxis, rates. so argue strongly to get customers? i think every business on the high street struggles nowadays. is there a single thing that government could do to help you? like i say, the conservatives are reducing corporation tax, we have rates in

mike ashley has been responding to jeremy corbyn's launch. he is the only one of the various business leaders who has bothered to respond at all. the rest have not bothered to comment. frankly, why would they? what he has said about them appears to bea what he has said about them appears to be a scattergun approach against wealth. if you look at the people he has attacked, on the one hand you have mike ashley, self educated at sports direct, on the other hand you have the duke of westminster, a title created in 1874, a property owner in london, certainly not a self—made man. what these two people have in common is wealth, and probably nothing else. sojeremy corbyn doesn't appear to be attacking crony capitalism or the non—payment of taxes or any of the things that you might be able to get some individuals for. he appears to have gone forjust some individuals for. he appears to have gone for just a scattergun approach that just says have gone for just a scattergun approach thatjust says i don't like people who have made money. that is obvi

the prime minister will either be jeremy corbyn or boris johnson prime minister will either be jeremy corbyn or borisjohnson and nicola sturgeon can win as many seats as she likes what she is not going to be in downing street, and what is important is that that‘s whyjo swinson will be using this opportunity very, very important that she wants to take this opportunity to cause both the conservatives and the labour party serious damage. but as for boris johnson and jeremy corbyn, boris johnson and jeremy corbyn, boris johnson will want to be playing this as safe as possible because he is in the lead at the moment. i know you can‘t believe everything the polls thae and we still have three weeks to go but he needs to play very defensively and of course he will not just be getting defensively and of course he will notjust be getting questions from the owner, the interviewer. he will be dealing with the public, so you can‘t get irritated with the public. you might get some tricky questions on the russia report, for example, his own party‘s failure to deal with islamophobia. so he ha

was a slightly better debate for jeremy corbyn just because was a slightly better debate for jeremy corbynjust because his ratings were so fine behind boris johnson quality that within 2% is an impressive performance. what is really interesting about the debate last night was the reaction of the audience, laughing at times as the two men responded to various questions. let's take a look at a couple of those clips. this is the truth matter in this election? i think it does. this is the truth matter in this election? ithink it does. it is important macro i have been cleared about the deal i have done. we will have a referendum and we will abide by that result. i'm not sure we have quite seen that reaction in an election television debates before. what does that say to you about the relationship between the voters and political leaders? having a studio audience in a debate is a bit of a risk because, depending on how the audience reacts, it can raise questions about partiality. the audience were reacting, they were laughing at both sides. they laughed at both. i'm not sure how helpful

jeremy corbyn is already there. we will keep our eyes on watching when the prime minister appears. that might be actually the foreign secretary, his security detail arriving, foreign secretary, his security detailarriving, dominic foreign secretary, his security detail arriving, dominic rab. foreign secretary, his security detailarriving, dominic rab. plenty of cabinet ministers and shadow cabinet ministers there this evening and what you said 20 minutes ago, already breathing heavily even though the debate has not started. and that shows the importance of this encounter, as you say the first head—to—head encounter between the prime minister and leader of the opposition undiluted can if you like. they are taking it seriously and boris johnson turning like. they are taking it seriously and borisjohnson turning up mob handed, dominic raab will be here, priti patel, and some senior conservatives have already gone into the building and some members of the labour shadow cabinet. in a sense the different approach that each side might take could be exposed by look at the preparations

"jeremy corbyn's a racist." "jeremy corbyn's an anti—semite." "jeremy corbyn's a terrorist friend." and i walk past these protesters, and they came up and asked me for selfies with them, all right? i have not had an accusation like that made for many, many years. it was made in the past. do you know why? because nobody else dared to talk about it. the issue had been brushed under the carpet, despite the fact that with time, it was the number one issue in british politics. i would suggest, sir, that in this campaign, what we ought to talk about is illegal immigration. what we ought to talk about are all those people being found dead in the back of a lorry. what we ought to talk about, are the 39 people who were picked up in the english channel yesterday who are currently in police custody, tomorrow will be in a hostel, and the day after will disappear. we need to send the message we're not open for illegal immigration. we're open for legal immigration, or a sensible work permit scheme. and that, i think, needs to be talked about in this campaign. does that satisfy you? do you agree w

boris johnson and jeremy corbyn prepare for their first head to head confrontation of the election campaign, with a live studio debate. violence intensifies in hong kong, as dozens of demonstrators attempting to escape a university are blocked by police. this place is now surrounded by riot police. just down the street here, there are teams of riot police sealing off the whole of the campus here. inside, we believe are about 50 protesters, 50 hardliners who are refusing to surrender. swedish prosecutors drop their investigation of rape allegations against the wikileaks co—founder, julian assange. prince andrew is facing calls to talk to us investigators, from a woman who says jeffrey epstein assaulted her. it's 5 o'clock, our main story. a leaked report into severe failings in maternity care at shrewsbury and telford hospital nhs trust has criticised what it calls a "toxic culture" at the trust's hospitals, going back a0 years. and it warns that lessons are still not being learned. the report contains the interim findings of a review into the trust, ordered by the government in 2017. it f

as you head in the report, there have been calls for jeremy corbyn to apologise over the pa rty‘s jeremy corbyn to apologise over the party's handling jeremy corbyn to apologise over the pa rty‘s handling and jeremy corbyn to apologise over the party's handling and his handling personally of the claims of anti—semitism within the labour party. this is much more comfortable territory for the labour leader, and it has been a key message that they have tried to drive home the of the election campaign. that a us trade deal under the conservatives would mean the nhs being, asjeremy corbyn likes the project, for sale, at least on the table, in those talks. the conservatives and borisjohnson deny that and sayjeremy corbyn is out and out lying about what these documents lee has produced today, which have actually been available online for several weeks now, showing. the details about the pricing of drugs, and it goes to the heart of labour's argument that the us will be looking for the most com plete us will be looking for the most complete access possible to the national health service, and

corbyn —— would not put jeremy corbyn —— would not put jeremy corbyn —— would not put jeremy corbyn into the seat of power. if she said she stuck to the formulation back and forth but marvellous interviews. chris, you're waiting very patiently. i have my table of the lib dem costing and spending in loads of various corbels they cannot make out what i meant. what are the big numbers that you wa nted what are the big numbers that you wanted to pull out for us? childcare is really interesting one because we don't often look at the policies and say they're going to spend a bit more on this and that, this is a policy where we do not know what labour is precisely going to say but it is putting some blue water in there because the lib dems, as we heard from jo swinson, to get free childcare if you're working at the age of nine months, but all children at the age of two until they go to school, but he doesn't play for, they'll be an extra £13 billion a year and they'll be an extra £13 billion a yearand spending on they'll be an extra £13 billion a year and spending on childcare above her

borisjohnson jeremy corbyn with their votes. boris johnson says jeremy corbyn with their votes. borisjohnson says he wants to get brexit done, just this morning jeremy corbyn was in parliament giving a speech about how he would get brexit sorted. spot the difference. red or blue, it‘s all brexit, it‘s all bad for our country. and wanting to stay in europe is about choosing the kind of country that we want to be. whether we are open or closed, whether we are generous or selfish, whether we stand united with our friends or stand united with our friends or stand alone in the world. whether we say no to the populace and the white house and the kremlin or whether we fight for our children ‘s future or gamble with their chance in life. we can have hope, it can‘t be different, we can stop brexit and we liberal democrats. brexit! applause brexit! applause and when we stop brexit we will be able to use a bremain bonus to invest in public service, we are the only party standing up to say we. brexit and build a brighterfuture. and everyone knows brexit has taken longer and cost mor

jeremy corbyn undeterred. why do you think the whole country once much bigger spending and a much bigger state because this manifesto has put rocket boosters on what you promised in 2017 and it did not convince the country to give you a majority then. it isa country to give you a majority then. it is a radical manifesto but radical answers are what is necessary. you've got to have an offer on the table that matches the scale of the problem we face at the moment on the 21st century.“ scale of the problem we face at the moment on the 21st century. if we can get beyond brexit labour can win this election. digger think he will be moving into number 10? this election. digger think he will be moving into number107|j this election. digger think he will be moving into number10? i hope so. whatever family plans there are four downing st this election is a huge and serious moment for the labour leader and all of us. asjeremy corbyn heads around the country has ma nifesto corbyn heads around the country has manifesto i

the question of leadership, jeremy corbyn could be in number10 leadership, jeremy corbyn could be in number 10 within weeks. and clearly, he has had three years at the top of politics now. he has failed to deal with this problem. the labour party is under investigation. the investigation into procedures has not come through yet. i look forward to seeing the result. it is important that the labour party hold themselves to the highest of standards. but for them to stamp out anti—semitism before it enters government, there is a real threat here. jewish people are not safe or secure. there are a lot of threats facing this community here and across the world. those threats and across the world. those threats and those people existed long before he became leader of the labour party. now, they are accepting there are issues around policy and procedure in the past, improving those and setting in the manifesto how labour party will protectjewish people in this and ensuring that on the day when labour take government, making sure jewish the day when labour take government, making surejewish

what is it about jeremy corbyn that you see as more palatable, in order for you to jeremy corbyn that you see as more palatable, in orderfor you to back him and put him into number ten? it's him and put him into number ten? it‘s not particularly anything about jeremy corbyn as an individual. i could not be clearer. if labour want to give me the chance to choose who should lead them, it would not be jeremy corbyn. i am not a fan. but if you‘re asking me, in terms of why labour and not the conservatives, it has a policy —based thing. i don‘t agree with all of labour‘s policies, farfrom it, buti agree with all of labour‘s policies, farfrom it, but i have more in common in terms of the social and economic outlook than i ever have done or ever will do with an increasingly right—wing conservative government. you only have to look at the uk manifesto of the labour party to see that they have borrowed quite a lot from previous snp manifestos. applause free prescriptions, free tuition, free personal care, opposition to fracking, opposition to car parking charges, keeping water in

jeremy has a lwa ys that right to choose. jeremy has always supported self—determination for countries around the world and needs to recognise he needs to make sure that we can have that referendum about scottish referendum —— independence above and beyond anything in 2020. the deadline to vote in next month's general election has passed. applications peaked yesterday with 660,000 people registering to vote. more than two—thirds of them are under the age of 35. the writer and director of the film about gangs, ‘blue story‘ will speak out for the first time here on breakfast this morning, after criticising the decision to ban the film at some cinemas. the writer rapman claims the film has been wrongly blamed for the actions of a few individuals. it was withdrawn from vue cinemas after a mass brawl broke out in birmingham over the weekend. the decision led to some accusations of racism. you are up—to—date with all the latest news and sally is here and i'm very excited because it is about now that we will see your
