:00:19. > :00:22.The Labour leader has said he would order a review

:00:23. > :00:24.of "all aspects" of defence if he wins power.

:00:25. > :00:27.Speaking to the BBC's Andrew Marr, Jeremy Corbyn refused to say

:00:28. > :00:31.whether he would keep Britain's Trident nuclear deterrent.

:00:32. > :00:33.But shortly after the interview a party spokesman said the decision

:00:34. > :00:37.to retain the programme had been taken, and Labour supported that.

:00:38. > :00:40.The Conservatives said Labour would "dismantle" the UK's defences.

:00:41. > :00:50.Our political correspondent, Susanna Mendonca, has more.

:00:51. > :00:59.Setting out his stall for a snap election, Jeremy Corbyn came to

:01:00. > :01:03.outline Labour policy but, when it came to defence, that position

:01:04. > :01:07.didn't appear to correspond with that of his party. This is still an

:01:08. > :01:11.unresolved question, what you are going to do. Your defence spokesman

:01:12. > :01:16.is clearly said that keeping Trident will be in the Labour manifesto.

:01:17. > :01:20.Will it? We haven't completed work on the manifesto yet. We are less

:01:21. > :01:26.than 100 hours into the election campaign. So he could be in for a

:01:27. > :01:31.shock. No, we are having that discussion in the Labour Party and

:01:32. > :01:35.we will produce our manifesto. Trident is a potentially explosive

:01:36. > :01:41.issue for Labour, where divisions run deep. Its leader has long wanted

:01:42. > :01:45.to scrap the party's policy of renewing a nuclear weapons defence

:01:46. > :01:49.system, while its MPs back it so, a couple of hours after Mr Corbyn

:01:50. > :01:52.threw doubt on whether it would be renewed, a Labour Party spokesperson

:01:53. > :01:59.was forced to correct him and reconfirm the party's commitment to

:02:00. > :02:02.Trident. The EU referendum less than a year ago revealed huge fault lines

:02:03. > :02:07.within Labour on Brexit. Immigration was a key issue for voters then, as

:02:08. > :02:10.it is likely to be in this election, and it's an issue that Jeremy Corbyn

:02:11. > :02:16.knows he needs to provide clarity on. Free movement ends when we leave

:02:17. > :02:20.the EU, because that is an intrinsic part of membership, but there was

:02:21. > :02:24.also the question of EU nationals living in Britain, who I think

:02:25. > :02:27.should will be given the to remain immediately, as British nationals

:02:28. > :02:31.living in Europe should get the same decision by their governments. And

:02:32. > :02:35.we then work out a system by those that are able to come here for work

:02:36. > :02:40.and so on, as well as British people able to go to other parts of Europe

:02:41. > :02:44.to work. Labour is keen to get the focus away from Brexit to other

:02:45. > :02:48.issues so, on grammar schools, Mr Corbyn said he didn't like selective

:02:49. > :02:52.education. On rebuilding the economy, he repeated a promise to up

:02:53. > :02:56.a public national investment bank, to invest in new industries and

:02:57. > :03:00.infrastructure. An private service providers in the NHS, he would phase

:03:01. > :03:07.out those contracts and bring indirectly employed staff. But the

:03:08. > :03:13.Conservatives say that Jeremy Corbyn can't be trusted. -- bring in

:03:14. > :03:16.directly employed staff. Jeremy Corbyn is putting himself forward as

:03:17. > :03:19.the next Prime Minister, and I think what we have seen is that we would

:03:20. > :03:24.have a coalition of chaos if Jeremy Corbyn was Prime Minister of this

:03:25. > :03:27.country. With just six weeks of campaigning ahead, the Labour leader

:03:28. > :03:29.will be hoping that the voters disagree.

:03:30. > :03:32.The other parties have been laying out some of the issues

:03:33. > :03:33.which are expected to be in their manifestos.

:03:34. > :03:35.For the Conservatives, Damian Green confirmed reports

:03:36. > :03:38.that there would be some form of limit on energy prices.

:03:39. > :03:42.There will be a lot about energy policy in the manifesto.

:03:43. > :03:44.Obviously there will be more details then.

:03:45. > :03:48.But, absolutely, I think that people feel that some of the big energy

:03:49. > :03:54.companies have taken advantage of them with the tariffs.

:03:55. > :03:56.The Conservatives' former coalition partners have ruled out supporting

:03:57. > :04:01.Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron says the party will not enter

:04:02. > :04:03.a coalition with Labour or the Conservatives

:04:04. > :04:07.under "any circumstances whatsoever" after the election.

:04:08. > :04:10.We will not be entering into coalition or any deal

:04:11. > :04:12.whatsoever with Labour or Conservatives, under

:04:13. > :04:16.Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn, after this next general election.

:04:17. > :04:18.Be absolutely clear - voting Liberal Democrat is not

:04:19. > :04:22.Voting Liberal Democrat is a vote against a hard Brexit,

:04:23. > :04:25.a vote for the people to have the final say,

:04:26. > :04:31.not the politicians, and a vote for a decent, strong opposition.

:04:32. > :04:34.And the leader of Ukip, Paul Nuttall, says the party wants

:04:35. > :04:36.to ban full-face veils worn by a minority of Muslim women,

:04:37. > :04:42.claiming it's part of what he calls "an integration agenda".

:04:43. > :04:45.I don't believe that you can integrate fully and enjoy the fruits

:04:46. > :04:48.of British society if you can't see people's faces and, you know,

:04:49. > :04:53.58% of Muslim women are economically inactive.

:04:54. > :04:57.22% don't speak English to any great level.

:04:58. > :04:59.We need to ensure that these people are fully integrated

:05:00. > :05:01.into British society, and you can't do that

:05:02. > :05:08.50,000 runners, 750,000 bottles of water, and a couple running

:05:09. > :05:11.the race just moments after tying the knot.

:05:12. > :05:14.This year's London Marathon has had it all, including

:05:15. > :05:29.Good afternoon. And to you. We are five hours in and

:05:30. > :05:33.so many are crossing the line in triumph and exhaustion. Marathon

:05:34. > :05:38.running has its ethical issues at the top end of the sport. Concerns

:05:39. > :05:43.about doping. But here, it is unique. These people sharing the

:05:44. > :05:46.same street as world's -- world record holders. Perhaps we can't all

:05:47. > :05:48.run a marathon but maybe we can all share in the marathon spirit.

:05:49. > :05:51.The journey of 26 miles begins with a single hoot, but whose?

:05:52. > :05:53.Heads Together, the starters and the masses.

:05:54. > :05:56.Record participation in the London Marathon.

:05:57. > :05:59.It remains a shared sporting experience like no other.

:06:00. > :06:10.David Weir in the pale blue top was desperately seeking a seventh

:06:11. > :06:15.If his best years, we feared, were behind him, Weir still only saw

:06:16. > :06:24.At one point, I didn't think I'd even make the start line,

:06:25. > :06:30.so to come away and win, for me personally, is amazing.

:06:31. > :06:32.The London Marathon is a collection of races.

:06:33. > :06:38.Last year's champion, Jemima Sumgong, wasn't here.

:06:39. > :06:45.Up ahead, Kenya's Mary Keitany ran almost the entire race on her own.

:06:46. > :06:49.Westminster was witnessing a victory of human spirit.

:06:50. > :06:52.In a marathon where the women's race is separate from the men,

:06:53. > :06:55.this was the fastest time ever recorded.

:06:56. > :07:00.But the race is not simply against the clock.

:07:01. > :07:04.Daniel Wanjiru, almost there - but, hang on, who's behind you?

:07:05. > :07:07.Well, only Kenenisa Bekele, and no endurance runner has

:07:08. > :07:12.The gap was small but the gap remained.

:07:13. > :07:14.The Kenyan beat the Ethiopian in the biggest moment

:07:15. > :07:20.At every mile, the pale blue of Heads Together, keep going.

:07:21. > :07:23.Promoted so prominently for mental health, it was this

:07:24. > :07:31.To be part of it and to finish it remains the universal goal.

:07:32. > :07:39.A man has been killed by thieves who stole his car

:07:40. > :07:42.Michael Samwell and his wife were woken in the early hours

:07:43. > :07:45.of this morning by a noise, and he went to investigate.

:07:46. > :07:46.Shouting was heard outside the property,

:07:47. > :07:49.in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, and Mr Samwell was

:07:50. > :07:53.He died in hospital a short time later.

:07:54. > :07:55.Police believe the 35-year-old sustained his injuries

:07:56. > :08:03.Polls opened at 8am this morning in the first round of voting in

:08:04. > :08:07.Turnout so far is slightly up on 2012.

:08:08. > :08:10.Security is tight and thousands of police and military have been

:08:11. > :08:13.deployed across the country after a police officer was killed

:08:14. > :08:25.Our correspondent Christian Fraser is there.

:08:26. > :08:32.Thank you. A fascinating evening in prospect here. Security is very

:08:33. > :08:35.tight up and down the country. 11 candidates on the ballot paper, two

:08:36. > :08:40.of them will go through to the final round of the vote a week on Sunday,

:08:41. > :08:44.but all eyes are on the far right candidate, Marine Le Pen. She was

:08:45. > :08:51.voting this morning in the northern Calais region and, in a poll

:08:52. > :08:55.published at 6:30pm on Friday, before the campaign finished, she

:08:56. > :08:59.was just two points behind Emmanuel Macron, the centrist candidate. Just

:09:00. > :09:04.39, he would be the youngest president in modern times. He was

:09:05. > :09:08.voting in Le Touquet today. In third, Francois Fillon, the former

:09:09. > :09:12.prime ministers, who has been dogged by corruption allegations. He is

:09:13. > :09:16.still in the race. And just ahead of the real surprise package, the hard

:09:17. > :09:21.left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon, who is still in with a shout. Plenty

:09:22. > :09:25.to look forward to this evening. We will be on BBC News with a special

:09:26. > :09:28.results programme from 6:30pm. The first projections will come at 7pm.

:09:29. > :09:30.Four trains from different eras have travelled side-by-side towards York

:09:31. > :09:32.in an event celebrating the past, present and future

:09:33. > :09:38.The world's most famous steam locomotive, Flying Scotsman,

:09:39. > :09:42.was joined by an Inter City 125 and 225 as well as a new Hitachi

:09:43. > :09:49.Azuma, which is due to go into service next year.

:09:50. > :09:52.You can see more on all of today's stories on the BBC News Channel.

:09:53. > :09:54.The next news on BBC One is at 6:35pm.

:09:55. > :10:14.Chilly weather is looming, but let's focus on the next few hours or so,

:10:15. > :10:18.because it isn't looking back at all across most of the UK. Some pleasant

:10:19. > :10:19.sunshine and we are in for a nice sunset.
