On the first weekend of campaigning for the general election, | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
Theresa May in the West Midlands today refused to be drawn | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
on whether she would raise income tax, VAT or National Insurance. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Meanwhile, the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, in Manchester, | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
has promised that the tax burden will fall on those with the broadest | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
Here's our political correspondent Ben Wright. | :00:42. | :00:51. | |
Get ready for the knock at your door. Today the Prime Minister took | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
her campaign message to Dudley and one voter may have spoken for many. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
I couldn't understand why you called an election within three years to | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
go. I think we need a stronger | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
negotiating hand in Europe. But this general election is not | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
just about Brexit and all the parties are rapidly writing | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
manifesto is full of pledges and promises. | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
The issue of tax will be prominent and Theresa May was asked whether | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
she would be keeping the 20 15th pledge not to raise any of the three | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
main taxes. At this election people will have a | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
clear choice, between a Conservative Party which always has been, is and | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
will continue to be a party that believes in lower taxes, keeping | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
taxes down for ordinary people. All the choices of a Labour Party whose | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
natural instinct is to raise taxes. Two years ago David Cameron said | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
there would be no VAT, national insurance or income tax rises, the | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
comments today suggest that guarantee might not be in the new | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
manifesto and it follows Philip Hammond yesterday saying he wanted | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
more flexibility in managing the economy. | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
Good morning everybody. Today is flying start Saturday in | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
our campaign. On his eighth campaign visit of the | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
campaign, Jeremy Corbyn was in Warrington. | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
Nice to see you. A lovely house. Wooing voters, | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
insisting the election was not a foregone conclusion and sketching | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
out the Labour approach to taxes. We will produce a manifesto very | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
soon and you will see all the details. Our tax burdens will not | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
fall on those on low incomes, they will fall on those with the broadest | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
shoulders who can bear the greatest burden. | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
At the last election more than 50 SNP MPs were swept into Westminster | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
and today the party announced all but two of them who set as | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
independents have been reselected as candidates this time in an election | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
that will soon have competing policies to flesh out the slogans. | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
The Afghan government has declared tomorrow a day of national mourning, | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
after the deaths of more than 140 soldiers killed in a Taliban attack. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
It happened at a military base in the north of the country | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
with the militants apparently disguised as soldiers. | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
Our South Asia correspondent Justin Rowlett reports. | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
It was during afternoon prayers that two suicide bombers blasted open | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
the entrance to this army base in the north of | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
At least eight other fighters, dressed in Afghan army uniforms, | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
used heavy machine guns to attack the dining area of the | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
The Taliban has claimed responsibility and issued this | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
picture of the men they claim were behind it. | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
One was captured, the rest are now dead. | :03:58. | :04:07. | |
Afghan troops have been pouring in to secure the area. | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
The battle lasted for five hours and today dozens of injured | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
soldiers were being treated in a local hospital. | :04:13. | :04:16. | |

Islamic edition requires Bales take place as soon as possible and the | :04:23. | :04:35. | |
bodies of many victims have already been placed in coffins. | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
The assault on the army base is a shocking reminder of just how | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
tough the ongoing battle in Afghanistan is. | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
Last month, an Afghan army helicopter landed special | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
forces troops on top of the military hospital in Kabul | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
after it was stormed by gunmen disguised as doctors. | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
Two-and-a-half years after the international combat | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
mission in Afghanistan ended, and the Taliban now controls more | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
And with casualties amongst the Afghan forces running at almost | :05:08. | :05:16. | |
7,000 a year, there are questions about how long the Afghan army | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
can continue to defend the ground it still holds. | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
There have been extraordinary scenes at a tennis tournament today | :05:23. | :05:31. | |
in Romania involving Britain's number one Johanna Konta. | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
She was left in tears and her Federation Cup match | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
was temporarily suspended following barracking from the crowd. | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
The Romanian captain Ilie Nastase had to be removed from court | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
after appearing to verbally abuse Konta and the British | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
The pressure was on Johanna Konta from the start with Great Britain | :05:47. | :06:00. | |
already 1-0 down. She won the first set but that wasn't currently | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
battle. Both Johanna Konta and her captain complained about the crowd | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
and Ilie Nastase got involved swearing at both of them and the | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
officials before being escorted away. | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
Play restarted. But not for long. Johanna Konta, world number seven, | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
visibly distressed, complaining again to the umpire before leaving | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
the court. With another Romanian player pleading with the crowd. | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
After a 25 minute suspension, Johanna Konta returned and slotted | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
back into form winning five games in a row to seal victory and bring it | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
level. The tycoon to and Johanna Konta | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
returns unlike Ilie Nastase, escorted from the context, his | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
accreditation removed and banned from the rest of the matches. | :06:52. | :07:02. | |
There have been rallies around the world in support of science, | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
including a crowd of several thousand in London. They were joined | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
by the Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi protesting against what they called | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
a political assault on facts. The French government has mobilised | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
additional security forces including elite units | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
to back up 50,000 police officers for tomorrow's | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
presidential election. Terrorism dominated the final | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
day of campaigning, after the killing of a police | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
officer in the capital on Thursday. In the lull before France's | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
presidential vote, those out campaigning today were not | :07:33. | :07:42. | |
supporting politicians. Black balloons for those killed | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
in the line of duty. Pink for the family | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
they leave behind. Their message, the police | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
need protecting as well. One of the balloons | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
was for Xavier Jugele, targeted by a gunman on the Champs | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
Elysees this week. Xavier Jugele was on duty | :08:05. | :08:07. | |

to a BBC reporter. That is why we are here | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
with my friend to celebrate life. The police union says | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
their members need protection The state of emergency | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
following a string of attacks Boosting police numbers | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
has been an issue for But this election has gone | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
beyond questions of security, It has opened up a debate | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
about the meaning of French values All the more surprising then | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
that the number of people expected to abstain from voting | :08:49. | :08:57. | |
tomorrow is high. People who decide to abstain | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
are not people who don't When you ask them why | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
they refuse to vote, Across the country, buildings | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
