Theresa May has said there will be no increase in VAT | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
if the Conservatives win the general election. | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
However the Prime Minister has given her clearest | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
signal yet that her party will abandon its promise | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
not to raise income tax or National Insurance contributions. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Labour has also promised not to raise VAT. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
The Shadow Chancellor John Mcdonnell said he would end what he called | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
"giveaways to the rich", and Labour would protect | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Our political correspondent Leila Nathoo reports. | :00:45. | :00:54. | |
In the swing of an election campaign, there is, for some, and | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
unmentionable word. So far, Theresa May has skirted around the issue at | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
whether her government would increase taxes but this morning she | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
gave her strongest indication yet not to raise National Insurance, | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
income tax of VAT. We have no plans to increase the level of tax, but I | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
am also very clear I don't want to make specific proposals on taxes | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
unless I am absolutely sure I can deliver on those. It would be my | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
intentions of a Conservative government and a Conservative Prime | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
Minister, to reduce the taxes on working families. Later, she went | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
further in clarifying her plans. We won't be increasing VAT, but what I | :01:44. | :01:54. | |
want to ensure is we are able to have the strong... You definitely | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
won't raise VAT, that is a 100% commitment? Where will extra money | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
come from to pay for schools, hospitals and social care? The Prime | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
Minister hinted the long-term plan for that would be in her manifesto. | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
Labour says it would make those at the top pay more. We would end the | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
tax giveaways to the rich. We would demonstrate how we would fund those. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
Let me give this assurance, there will be no increases in income tax | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
for middle and low earners. Labour is guaranteeing the state pension | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
will continue to rise by 2.5% a year. Theresa May suggested she was | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
considering a new way of calculating the increase. But Brexit looms and | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
with the EU states negotiating around their position yesterday, the | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
other opposition party sends an opportunity. The Labour Party are | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
fighting amongst themselves and have given up opposing the government. | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
The country needs a stronger position for the sake of democracy. | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
We don't have too agree with me on everything to agree with me that | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
Britain needs a strong opposition. The EU has been clear they have been | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
clear they have to look after the interests of the EU 27. In the next | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
parliament we have an important job of holding the current government to | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
account. Theresa May doesn't want to discuss our EU divorce bill before | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
trade talks and says she is still happy to walk away without a deal. | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
Ten years after the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
her parents have told the BBC they will do "whatever it takes, | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
for as long as it takes" to find their daughter. | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
Madeleine was three years old when she went missing | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
on holiday in Portugal, while her parents were eating | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
Speaking to Fiona Bruce, Kate and Gerry McCann spoke | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
about the pain they continue to face, after a decade | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
Every day is another day now without Madeleine. | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
I think it's just that number, it's that 10-year mark which makes | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
it more significant, I think because it's a reminder | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
of how much time has gone by and obviously ten | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
I think the day and the poignancy of it, we don't tend to go back | :04:03. | :04:11. | |
But inevitably on anniversaries and her birthday, they are by far | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
How different is your life now to what you must have imagined | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
It's a hard one because it's such a long time. | :04:26. | :04:43. | |
I think before, we felt we managed to achieve a little perfect | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
We had that for a short period and you adapt | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
Unfortunately for us, a new normality at the moment | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
Last time we talked you told me how you were still buying birthday | :04:54. | :05:03. | |
presents and Christmas presents, ten years now, | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
There's a lot of thought goes into it, but I couldn't not. | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
She's still our daughter, she will always be our daughter. | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
The police have talked about one significant lead | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
they are still pursuing, can you tell me anything about that? | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Very much, the investigation is in the hands of the | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
They're clearly are ongoing enquiries. | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
We've come a long way and there is progress, | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
there are some very credible lines of enquiry the police | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
And whilst there is no evidence to give us any negative news, | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
In the hope that one day you'll be reunited with your daughter? | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
No parent is going to give up on their child unless they know | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
for certain a child is dead and we just don't have any evidence. | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
My hope of her being out there is no less | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
Kate and Gerry McCann, speaking to Fiona Bruce. | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
MPs are calling for best-before dates on food to be scrapped, | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
saying they're unnecessary and contribute towards unacceptable | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
Food and Rural Affairs Committee says ?10 billion worth of food gets | :06:11. | :06:28. | |
One of the world's most famous mountaineers, Ueli Steck, | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
has been killed in an accident on Mount Everest. | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
Steck, known as the Swiss Machine, was climbing alone | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
for an attempt on the summit without oxygen. | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
Steck, who was 40, had won many awards and was famed | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
Mount Everest, dangerous and daunting, even for the most | :06:43. | :06:54. | |
experienced of climbers. Just climbing from base camp to camp | :06:55. | :07:03. | |
number two. Ueli Steck, also known as the Swiss machine, planning the | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
detail of his route. We don't know if it is possible, that is the | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
interesting thing. Nobody has done that before. Having the chance, it | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
is there and it is possible, but I don't know. He knew the dangers, he | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
had reached the summit without oxygen in 2012 and in 2015 he | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
climbed all 82 Alpine peaks, over 4000 metres in just 62 days. He | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
conquered the North face of the Eiger in less than three hours. Ueli | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
Steck was on Everest to acclimatise before attempting a new route on the | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
summit. If he had been successful, it would have pushed him into | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
another sphere. A first ascent like that on Everest, it is just sinking | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
in at the moment. He was known as the Swiss machine, really fit, | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
lovely guy when you meet him. A bundle of energy. I have the peak | :08:02. | :08:09. | |
again. Pretty cool. The climbing community has said it has lost a | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
pioneer. He was known for his speed and ruefully methodical approach, | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
with an ability to push push himself to the limit of human endurance. | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
Donald Trump has marked the 100th day | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
of his presidency with a speech defending his record | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
Addressing thousands of cheering supporters in Pennsylvania, | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
he insisted he's delivering his election promises and dismissed | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
The British boxer, Anthony Joshua, has sealed his position | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
as the world's leading heavyweight, by beating the former champion, | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
Wladimir Klitschko, in front of a record crowd | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
Despite being knocked down himself, Joshua rallied and came back | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
to floor his Ukrainian opponent three times in the eleventh round. | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
Our sports corresopndent Ollie Foster watched the fight. | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
Anthony Joshua is burning brighter than ever but last night | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
Wladimir Klitschko, at the age of 41, defying the march of time. | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
In a stadium famous for knockout competitions, they came in record | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
numbers to see AJ deliver the most important KO of his career. | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
The Ukrainian rocked, but so resilient. | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
In the next round, Joshua was stunned, hitting | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
But this fight was only just getting started. | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
Joshua had never been beyond the seventh round, | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
this one went to eight, nine and ten and Klitschko looked | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
to be on top by the time they reached the 11th. | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
A round that will live long in the memory, Joshua putting | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
The former champion showed unbelievable heart, but another | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
flurry of punches signalled the end of the contest and that | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
I say it to you again, I don't box just for the belts, | :09:52. | :10:02. | |
I don't box just for money, I just enjoy it. | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
I think tonight we all won, even if I didn't get the belt. | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
Wembley is slowly returning to normal, but this night will not | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
Cut through all the hype, this was one of the great | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
heavyweight contests and Joshua is still improving, still learning. | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
That is a frightening thought, especially for his next opponent. | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
