:01:43. > :01:46.On day three of the campaign trail the Prime Minister

:01:47. > :01:48.and the Chancellor have given their first hints

:01:49. > :01:51.of what will and what may not be in the Conservative manifesto.

:01:52. > :01:52.Theresa May says she'll keep the current

:01:53. > :01:54.spending on foreign aid - despite pressure from some

:01:55. > :02:02.the so-called triple lock on pensions - which guarantees

:02:03. > :02:04.they rise by inflation, average earnings or 2.5% each year,

:02:05. > :02:11.And the Chancellor Philip Hammond has hinted that the Conservatives

:02:12. > :02:14.will end the party's promise not to raise Income Tax,

:02:15. > :02:18.Our first report is from our deputy political

:02:19. > :02:26.No leader stays popular for ever, but

:02:27. > :02:29.Theresa May clearly feels she's liked enough for now to make

:02:30. > :02:31.promises some might like, but others won't.

:02:32. > :02:37.And the message, one we've heard before and will again.

:02:38. > :02:39.What drives me in politics, the passion that I

:02:40. > :02:42.have in politics, is to make the United Kingdom a country that

:02:43. > :02:44.works for everyone and not just the

:02:45. > :02:48.Today, that meant sticking to Britain's target for

:02:49. > :02:54.Spending that some right-wingers want cut.

:02:55. > :02:58.What we need to do, though, is look at how that money is spent and make

:02:59. > :03:01.sure we are able to spend that money in the most effective way.

:03:02. > :03:05.But how will the cash be spent and held back?

:03:06. > :03:08.And what about that other costly pledge?

:03:09. > :03:13.Again today you are telling the country you are a leader

:03:14. > :03:17.So, can pensioners trust you to go on

:03:18. > :03:20.raising their state pensions year by year just as your party and your

:03:21. > :03:29.pensioners, is just look what the Conservatives in government have

:03:30. > :03:36.Pensioners today, ?1250 a year better off was a result of action

:03:37. > :03:41.We were very clear about the need to ensure that

:03:42. > :03:45.we support people in their old age and that's exactly what we've done.

:03:46. > :03:51.That wasn't a yes, but here in Berkshire, in a lot of places,

:03:52. > :03:53.plenty of people like the idea of looking after pensioners.

:03:54. > :03:56.They've worked all their lives and they've paid their

:03:57. > :03:59.national insurance and they've paid their taxes, so I think they deserve

:04:00. > :04:02.If you can't look after the elderly, what

:04:03. > :04:08.A lot of them put it straight in the bank.

:04:09. > :04:12.Theresa May may be about to upset an awful lot of voters.

:04:13. > :04:20.Even thinking about dropping the Tory promise to

:04:21. > :04:22.pensioners takes a leader very confident about this election.

:04:23. > :04:24.Especially now she's clearly protecting overseas aid spending at

:04:25. > :04:28.A big lead in the polls comes in handy if you are

:04:29. > :04:30.about to annoy millions of pensioners.

:04:31. > :04:32.A big majority in the Commons even more so.

:04:33. > :04:51.Theresa May sounds incapable of answering any questions about the

:04:52. > :04:57.protection of the triple lock on the state pension.

:04:58. > :04:59.Well, I give you my commitment now, Labour will

:05:00. > :05:04.He stood by what is called the triple lock,

:05:05. > :05:06.pensions up every year by inflation or average earnings.

:05:07. > :05:12.Can Labour afford this along with other promises?

:05:13. > :05:16.Sorry, I'm not quite sure where I'm going.

:05:17. > :05:23.No one does, no one's actually voted yet.

:05:24. > :05:26.They are sure this election will be better than last

:05:27. > :05:29.We are the only clear opposition to the Conservatives

:05:30. > :05:33.opposing a hard Brexit, opposing exit from the single market, being a

:05:34. > :05:35.clear and effective decent opposition on every other level.

:05:36. > :05:40.Pollsters and pundits may think they know how this ends, but

:05:41. > :05:51.The Chancellor Philip Hammond has said he would prefer the government

:05:52. > :05:59.Speaking to the BBC, he hinted that he would to see

:06:00. > :06:01.amended the Conservative's 2015 manifesto promise not

:06:02. > :06:03.to raise income tax , VAT or national insurance.

:06:04. > :06:08.He was talking to our Economics Editor Kamal Ahmed in Washington.

:06:09. > :06:16.It was the solemn pledge treated to the voter by David Cameron before

:06:17. > :06:20.the election of 2015. No increases in tax, VAT or national insurance.

:06:21. > :06:25.Will it be repeated before this election? Today the Chancellor

:06:26. > :06:29.visiting Washington for a meeting of leading industrialised nations

:06:30. > :06:34.hinted maybe not. I came into politics not to see taxes rising,

:06:35. > :06:39.but to see the burden of taxation falling as our economy grows, and

:06:40. > :06:45.that remains my very clear political ambition. But you do not support a

:06:46. > :06:50.specific tax pledges not to raise income tax, national insurance and

:06:51. > :06:54.VAT, because it would tie your hands. All chancellors would prefer

:06:55. > :06:59.to have more flexibility in how they manage the economy and how they

:07:00. > :07:02.manage the overall tax burden down. Then to have their hands

:07:03. > :07:08.constrained. The problem with pledges, they tend to come unstuck.

:07:09. > :07:11.Here is the Chancellor on budget Day announcing an increase to national

:07:12. > :07:15.insurance payments for the self-employed. There followed a

:07:16. > :07:21.screeching U-turn after critics pointed out Mr Howard had broken

:07:22. > :07:25.that 2015 pledge. The Chancellor is here in Washington to talk about the

:07:26. > :07:29.global economy, but frankly his mind is on matters rather more domestic.

:07:30. > :07:35.In his interview with me I think he went as far as he feels able to

:07:36. > :07:39.given that the manifesto is not yet finalised. He's no fan of

:07:40. > :07:45.constraining promises, particularly on tax. He used one word over and

:07:46. > :07:52.over again. Flexibility. Mr Hammond has opened up a flank, and labour

:07:53. > :07:55.attacked. I think he's recognising he's got problems with the economy,

:07:56. > :08:00.problems with the budgeting he's done. As a result of that there will

:08:01. > :08:05.be tax rises under a Conservative government if they get re-elected.

:08:06. > :08:10.This is quite a tax bombshell. As always, the big test in any

:08:11. > :08:13.election, the economy. And today's retail sales figures suggested the

:08:14. > :08:18.increased inflation is starting to bite, and consumers are feeling the

:08:19. > :08:21.strain. Some might say you've called this election to get a mandate

:08:22. > :08:27.before the economy truly turned sour. We've called the election

:08:28. > :08:31.because it will strengthen the Prime Minister's hand in the negotiations

:08:32. > :08:35.to get the right Brexit deal for Britain. But in terms of the

:08:36. > :08:40.economic data, it has been remarkably resilient over the last

:08:41. > :08:45.nine months. Just this week, the IMF revised up its forecast for

:08:46. > :08:49.Britain's economy this year to 2%. The Chancellor will return from his

:08:50. > :08:53.US trip at the weekend. Back to an election battle where the promises

:08:54. > :08:56.the parties make to voters will be key. As far as Mr Hammond is

:08:57. > :08:59.concerned, the fewer it would seem the better. Kamal Ahmed, BBC News,

:09:00. > :09:01.Washington. Let's speak to our deputy political

:09:02. > :09:03.editor John Pienaar, The end of the week which has seen

:09:04. > :09:08.political campaigning get underway from a standing start -

:09:09. > :09:17.what can people take out Fiona, we're less than a week into

:09:18. > :09:21.this campaign and already the Prime Minister has made and may be

:09:22. > :09:25.preparing to make some very big calls. Dropping the Tories pensions

:09:26. > :09:29.promise risks upsetting a lot of the people who are always the most

:09:30. > :09:34.likely to make their way to the polling station on election day. Is

:09:35. > :09:38.that about confidence, is it about economic pressure? Well if that's

:09:39. > :09:41.what happens it would involve a big dollop of both. An overseas age

:09:42. > :09:47.Theresa May has already decided to take on part of her party, part of

:09:48. > :09:50.Fleet Street and a large slice of public opinion who would like to see

:09:51. > :09:55.more aid spending devoted to priority is closer to home. As far

:09:56. > :09:58.as Jeremy Corbyn is concerned, never doubt his sincerity talking about

:09:59. > :10:03.protecting public services, public spending. It goes down well with a

:10:04. > :10:08.lot of his loyal supporters. Yet he will admit he's the one who has to

:10:09. > :10:12.defy the odds and the polls and the pundits. Why? There are questions

:10:13. > :10:16.about the affordability of some of those Labour plans, questions about

:10:17. > :10:19.leadership and trust. This election will be a lot to do with trust and

:10:20. > :10:24.to do with questions of leadership. As many have in the past. This time,

:10:25. > :10:28.though, there is a distance Willett difference. As the country faces

:10:29. > :10:33.this stark choice of futures on the brink of Brexit it's a defining

:10:34. > :10:36.historically nation defining time and no one taking part in this

:10:37. > :10:40.election will have had an opportunity to take part in such a

:10:41. > :10:41.decision in the past. And may never have such an opportunity again in

:10:42. > :10:46.the future. It's emerged a gunman who shot dead

:10:47. > :10:49.a policeman on the Champs Elysees in Paris last night had been jailed

:10:50. > :10:52.for firing on police 39-year-old Karim Cheurfi had also

:10:53. > :10:55.been arrested after threatening The attack has overshadowed

:10:56. > :10:58.preparations for the first round of the country's Presidential

:10:59. > :11:00.elections on Sunday and the candidates have clashed

:11:01. > :11:03.as to how best to protect France. Our Europe Editor, Katya Adler,

:11:04. > :11:11.reports from Paris. French police on guard and at the

:11:12. > :11:18.ready on the Champs-Elysees today. The authorities long feared attacks

:11:19. > :11:20.by extremists could be possible around the presidential

:12:18. > :12:20.of extremist links. TRANSLATION: Karim Cheurfi was not

:12:21. > :12:23.on the watch list and during his long time in prison,

:12:24. > :12:26.a period of almost 14 years, showed no signs

:12:27. > :12:33.of being radicalised or trying

:12:34. > :12:35.to convert others during all those The shootings on the

:12:36. > :12:38.Champs-Elysees have cast a long, long shadow over

:12:39. > :12:42.Sunday's election. The response by rival candidates

:12:43. > :12:45.to the shootings betrayed the stark contrast

:12:46. > :12:47.in their vision for France. Centrist Emmanuel Macron

:12:48. > :12:49.spoke of the need While firebrand far right front

:12:50. > :12:59.runner Marine Le Pen called for the closing of French borders

:13:00. > :13:02.and the expulsion of foreigners on the watch lists of the

:13:05. > :13:06.in three French voters said they were still undecided

:13:07. > :13:09.who to vote for, so has the attack TRANSLATION: The vote on Sunday

:13:10. > :13:13.mustn't change things. That's what the terrorists want,

:13:14. > :13:16.that we vote hate and division. TRANSLATION: Every

:13:17. > :13:21.attack has an impact. It pushes people more

:13:22. > :13:34.to the extremes. The French presidential election has

:13:35. > :13:36.ramifications far beyond the country's borders and not

:13:37. > :13:37.just security related. France is Europe's

:13:38. > :13:40.third-largest economy so it's France is Europe's

:13:41. > :13:41.third-largest economy so its President will have an impact

:13:42. > :13:44.on Brexit, on the future of the euro and on the European

:13:45. > :13:46.Union as a whole. And if there is a victory

:13:47. > :13:50.here for the far right, or the far to populist politics across the

:13:51. > :13:56.continent. Hundreds of years on,

:13:57. > :14:02.the French Revolution still inspires

:14:03. > :14:05.the idea of the power of the people. But rarely so close to a French

:14:06. > :14:08.election has there been so much uncertainty

:14:09. > :14:17.with so much at stake. As you say, the first round of

:14:18. > :14:21.voting is on Sunday, it is so close, and there has been much speculation

:14:22. > :14:22.today that yesterday's attack could have boosted the chances of the far

:14:23. > :14:30.right. Absolutely, Marine Le Pen has or was

:14:31. > :14:33.put nationalism and security front and centre of her election campaign

:14:34. > :14:37.so it would be easy to assume she would benefit at the ballot box

:14:38. > :14:42.following last night's shootings. But there are many French men and

:14:43. > :14:47.women who see her as a dangerous extremist threat. Moving around the

:14:48. > :14:50.streets of Paris today I met a number of voters who said they would

:14:51. > :14:54.vote tactically, maybe not for the candidate they love but for the one

:14:55. > :14:58.they believe could beat her and stop her from becoming France's next

:14:59. > :15:02.President. The latest polls we have seen this evening shows it is still

:15:03. > :15:05.very much a four horse race so voters can choose their front

:15:06. > :15:09.runners from the far right to the far left, the centre and traditional

:15:10. > :15:12.centre right as well and there is crucially still a big chunk of

:15:13. > :15:16.French voters who say they will make up their mind at the last moment.

:15:17. > :15:20.Legally in France from tonight there is a news blackout so no more polls,

:15:21. > :15:24.no more political information until Sunday night, so it will be then

:15:25. > :15:30.only that we know what kind of impact those shootings have had. It

:15:31. > :15:34.Macey long road and torn out, Fiona, but as you pointed out, we can't

:15:35. > :15:39.forget this is just around one. We will be back here for round two of

:15:40. > :15:43.the French presidential election in two weeks' time and then we will

:15:44. > :15:45.find out who the next President of France will be. Katya Adler, thank

:17:58. > :18:06.any changes had, in fact, been made. Instead, they say that every baby's

:18:46. > :18:48.makes me sad as well, to think of all the people that have

:18:49. > :18:52.lost their children because they just haven't done

:20:03. > :20:12.on the deaths of three SAS reservists in the Brecon Beacons has

:20:13. > :20:15.found that there were multiple failures and that it

:20:16. > :20:17.could happen again. Corporal James Dunsby,

:20:18. > :20:19.Lance Corporal Edward Maher and Lance Corporal Craig Roberts

:20:20. > :20:22.died of heat exhaustion during a recruitment exercise on one

:20:23. > :20:25.of the hottest days of 2013. Our political correspondent

:20:26. > :20:27.Adam Fleming is outside the Ministry of Defence for us tonight,

:20:28. > :20:42.a pretty damning report. Yes, Fiona, and it echoes previous

:20:43. > :20:47.similar criticisms from a coroner and the Health and Safety Executive.

:20:48. > :20:50.Now we have this investigation by the MOD's defends safety authority

:20:51. > :20:57.declassified today. The document points out failures at really every

:20:58. > :21:01.single level. On the ground the staff running this exercise didn't

:21:02. > :21:05.have the equipment to monitor the temperature on a day when

:21:06. > :21:09.temperatures reached 31 Celsius. The people running the exercise haven't

:21:10. > :21:13.clocked the fact that the reserve lists who are part-time soldiers

:21:14. > :21:17.might not be as physically fit or as well-prepared as the professional

:21:18. > :21:22.soldiers who work full time doing the exercise a long side them.

:21:23. > :21:26.Further of the chain the report identifies the issue that no one

:21:27. > :21:30.really knows exactly what role these specialist reserve units should be

:21:31. > :21:33.playing if they are ever deployed on the battlefield, which means no one

:21:34. > :21:37.really knows if this really exceptionally gruelling kind of

:21:38. > :21:40.training is the right thing for them to be doing. The conclusion in this

:21:41. > :21:45.document released today, there is a danger something like this could

:21:46. > :21:48.happen again. That is rejected to night here at the MOD where

:21:49. > :21:52.officials say lessons and recommendations are being listened

:21:53. > :21:53.to and learning is being done. Adam Fleming outside the MOD, thank

:21:54. > :21:54.you. The world of football has reacted

:21:55. > :21:56.with shock to the death of the former England

:21:57. > :21:59.and Aston Villa defender, He collapsed yesterday

:22:00. > :22:05.after suffering a cardiac arrest at Tottenham Hotspurs' training

:22:06. > :22:08.ground, where he worked as a coach. He was capped four

:22:09. > :22:09.times for England. Here's our sports

:22:10. > :22:15.correspondent, Joe Wilson. He stopped goals and sometimes he's

:22:16. > :22:23.scored them. A central defender as strong

:22:24. > :22:33.and imposing as any in football. His passing was perhaps felt most

:22:34. > :22:40.poignantly at Aston Villa where he played for a decade. I think we are

:22:41. > :22:47.all shocked and devastated by the news of somebody so young who very,

:22:48. > :22:51.very quietly was making his way as a very talented coach from what I've

:22:52. > :22:57.been hearing. He was uncompromising, quick, all of the football world

:22:58. > :23:00.will be shocked and saddened. Ugo Ehiogu was making his name as a

:23:01. > :23:04.coach with Tottenham and Bailey looked like he had aged from his

:23:05. > :23:08.playing days. He suffered cardiac arrest at Tottenham's training

:23:09. > :23:12.ground yesterday. Through his career one man stood alongside Ugo Ehiogu,

:23:13. > :23:15.Gareth Southgate, defensive partners at Villa and then Middlesbrough,

:23:16. > :23:21.Southgate is now the England manager. His friend gone. Southgate

:23:22. > :23:23.paid this tribute to Ugo Ehiogu today. Most importantly, he said, he

:23:24. > :23:42.was a gentleman. Ugo Ehiogu was married with two

:23:43. > :23:47.macro children. For football the death of a dedicated professional

:23:48. > :23:50.and Dominic at 44 carries the sadness of simply not making sense.

:23:51. > :23:53.The footballer Ugo Ehiog, who has died at the age of 44.

:23:54. > :23:55.And just before we go, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

:23:56. > :23:59.as you've never heard them before - announcers of this week's

:24:00. > :24:05.The couple popped into the studio to talk about their mental health

:24:06. > :24:07.campaign - amongst other things as our royal correspondent

:24:08. > :24:14.Please welcome to Radio 1 the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

:24:15. > :24:16.With a destiny to fulfil, some DJing in the

:24:17. > :24:23.These are royals bringing their message about mental

:24:24. > :24:25.health to a young audience and a confession about listening habits.

:24:26. > :24:31.Obviously, I wouldn't tell you who I was.

:24:32. > :24:34.What are you doing texting in your car?

:24:35. > :24:40.I have not texted while driving because that is illegal.

:24:41. > :24:44.The princely fan who seeks shout-outs

:24:45. > :24:47.and who was castigated when he missed a royal event for a skiing

:24:48. > :24:49.and clubbing trip loves going to gigs.

:24:50. > :24:51.It's not something you can really do all the time?

:24:52. > :24:56.No, and you know, I've got enough trouble with

:24:57. > :24:58.my dancing recently so it's kind of best to keep away

:24:59. > :25:09.The price of such airtime, questions that wouldn't have amused

:25:10. > :25:12.Victoria, like what takes their fancy for a TV supper.

:25:13. > :25:14.Yeah, I'm not so good with the spicy food.

:25:15. > :25:18.But if you do a takeaway they must never believe you

:25:19. > :25:19.when you're ordering it to the palace, right?

:25:20. > :25:21.It doesn't usually get ordered to the palace, Chris.

:25:22. > :25:24.Right, I see. We tend to go and pick it up.

:25:25. > :25:28.Go for a little visit around the area.

:25:29. > :25:31.He's not going to go to Chicken Cottage, is he?

:25:32. > :25:33.The professionals changed, the

:25:34. > :25:34.royals remained, and were set to work.

:25:35. > :25:36.And the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

:25:37. > :25:40.He had 13 weeks at number one with Shape Of You.

:25:41. > :25:41.Before Harry came slong and spoiled his Easter.

:25:42. > :25:42.Sounds familiar! LAUGHTER

:25:43. > :25:44.Radio bringing together briefly two national institutions,

:25:45. > :25:48.So, number one is Ed Sheeran, Shape Of You.

:25:49. > :25:50.For a couple facing a life of pomp this was pure pleasure.

:25:51. > :25:52.When I'm on holiday would you mind stepping in?

:25:53. > :25:57.To be honest with you we could probably do a better job.

:25:58. > :25:59.Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.
