:00:13. > :00:15.Speaking in Saudi Arabia, he said the Middle East cannot
:00:16. > :00:18.wait for American power to crush the enemy.
:00:19. > :00:22.Drive them out of your communities, drive them out of your holy land,
:00:23. > :00:33.And we're live in Edinburgh - where the Scottish party
:00:34. > :00:37.leaders are preparing for their big campaign debate.
:00:38. > :00:40.We'll be asking voters in the Scottish Borders
:00:41. > :00:43.for their views on the calls for a second referendum
:00:44. > :00:50.And we'll have the latest reaction to Conservative plans for reforming

:01:10. > :01:16.President Trump has told the leaders of more than 40 Muslim nations
:01:17. > :01:20.they must join forces to defeat religious extremism.
:01:21. > :01:23.Speaking in Saudi Arabia, on the second day of his tour
:01:24. > :01:26.of the Middle East and Europe, he said terrorists must find no
:01:27. > :01:29.sanctuary, and he singled out Iran for criticism,
:01:30. > :01:31.saying it represented "the tip of the spear of terrorism".
:01:32. > :01:39.Our North America editor, Jon Sopel, is travelling with the President.
:01:40. > :01:46.His report does contain some flash photography. The president has been
:01:47. > :01:50.on a deep emotion into Middle East politics today, and a charm
:01:51. > :01:54.offensive, meeting a host of Arab and Gulf leaders from across the
:01:55. > :01:57.region. And one central geopolitical subject, the fight against Islamist
:01:58. > :02:02.extremism, and how to make good on his pledge to destroy so-called
:02:03. > :02:06.Islamic State. But after the trenchant and some would say
:02:07. > :02:09.Islamophobic language of the Trump election campaign, the president
:02:10. > :02:16.chose a much more moderate tone today. This is not a battle between
:02:17. > :02:22.different faiths, different sects, or different civilisations. This is
:02:23. > :02:28.a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to jobless rate human life,
:02:29. > :02:35.and decent people, all in the name of religion. This is a battle
:02:36. > :02:39.between good and evil. And he said that if terrorism was to be
:02:40. > :02:43.defeated, it was up to the people in that room to do more. A better
:02:44. > :02:49.future is only possible if your nations drive out the terrorists and
:02:50. > :03:00.drive out the extremists. Drive them out. Drive them out. Of your places
:03:01. > :03:07.of worship. Drive them out of your communities. Drive them out of your
:03:08. > :03:10.holy land and drive them out of this earth. This speech was a far cry
:03:11. > :03:14.from the language that Donald Trump and his allies used during the
:03:15. > :03:20.campaign. No more talk that Islam hates is, no more mention of this
:03:21. > :03:23.being a clash of civilisations, and the one phrase that he chided
:03:24. > :03:31.Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for not using, radical Islamic
:03:32. > :03:35.terrorism, was not even mentioned. That was then. Donald J Trump is
:03:36. > :03:39.calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the
:03:40. > :03:45.United States. Radical Islam is coming to our shores. We have a
:03:46. > :03:52.radical Islamic terrorism problem, folks. And this is now. Donald Trump
:03:53. > :03:55.has made a lot of friends with this visit and this speech. A more
:03:56. > :04:00.inclusive tone, a pledge of American help, combined with a strong attack
:04:01. > :04:05.on Iran will stop exactly what his Saudi hosts were hoping for. John,
:04:06. > :04:12.what do you make of this dramatic shift in tone from President Trump?
:04:13. > :04:15.Was it inevitable? Well, I think it is as different as night and day,
:04:16. > :04:21.Clive. I think it's a massive change of tone. But I think more
:04:22. > :04:24.importantly this speech was bold, visionary, optimistic, in that it
:04:25. > :04:27.sketches out a future where extremism is defeated and Donald
:04:28. > :04:30.Trump wanting to put himself at the head of that. I thought it was very
:04:31. > :04:34.carefully calibrated for his audience that, with support from
:04:35. > :04:39.America, that you can do whatever you like in your own back yard to
:04:40. > :04:43.defeat extremism. And as you said in your introduction, that very strong
:04:44. > :04:48.attack on Iran was the most striking thing for me. Ally in America firmly
:04:49. > :04:52.with the Sunni nations against Shia is. It's hard to see what the future
:04:53. > :04:56.of the run nuclear deal is with that. And in that sense it is a very
:04:57. > :04:59.different speech from any that Barack Obama would have delivered.
:05:00. > :05:04.The one thing that was said about Barack Obama's speeches is that they
:05:05. > :05:07.were fantastically long on the vision thing, and incredibly short
:05:08. > :05:12.on follow-through. This speech will be judged by the follow-through that
:05:13. > :05:15.comes, not just by Donald Trump, but more particularly by the Arab
:05:16. > :05:21.nations, who have made very big pledges today, here in Riyadh. Let's
:05:22. > :05:28.see what happens next. John, many thanks, Jon Sopel in Saudi Arabia.
:05:29. > :05:30.Now with the latest general election news, let's cross
:05:31. > :05:32.live to Huw Edwards, who's in Edinburgh.
:05:33. > :05:36.Here in Edinburgh, the Scottish party leaders are getting ready
:05:37. > :05:44.It's expected to include exchanges on the SNP's demand for a second
:05:45. > :05:51.But today's campaigning in England and Wales has been dominated
:05:52. > :05:54.by reaction to the Conservative plans for reforming social
:05:55. > :05:59.care and the winter fuel benefit for pensioners.
:06:00. > :06:02.The party says it will not re-think the plans, despite claims
:06:03. > :06:12.Our political correspondent Alex Forsyth has the latest.
:06:13. > :06:18.Manifesto is lucky with election campaigns, packed with policy, a
:06:19. > :06:25.pitch to voters. -- manifestos are key. One of her promises last week,
:06:26. > :06:27.a fairer system for young and old. Record funding for schools, real
:06:28. > :06:30.technical education for young people, and the first-ever proper
:06:31. > :06:37.plan to pay for and provide social care. . But that two but there is
:06:38. > :06:41.some disquiet about what social care changes will mean for traditional
:06:42. > :06:47.Tory voters, pensioners and homeowners, on the doorstep Theresa
:06:48. > :06:53.May was asked to explain yesterday. What do you have to say about old
:06:54. > :06:58.people? The changes. I haven't seen the detail. So what do the changes
:06:59. > :07:04.mean? Currently you pay for care if you have assets worth more than
:07:05. > :07:08.?23,250. Under the new plan that will go up, to ?100,000. So nobody
:07:09. > :07:14.with assets worth less than that will have to pay. But that new
:07:15. > :07:18.calculation will include the value of your house, even for those cared
:07:19. > :07:21.for at home. The Work and Pensions Secretary today defended the plan,
:07:22. > :07:25.saying nobody would have to sell their house in their lifetime, but
:07:26. > :07:34.ultimately, care costs would come from people's estates. ?100,000...
:07:35. > :07:37.Among five children. Is a reasonable inheritance to have, and people who
:07:38. > :07:42.are lucky enough to have had great rises in property value will still,
:07:43. > :07:46.I think, decide that ?100,000 is a better way of doing it. But this has
:07:47. > :07:52.to be put in the context of some funding the social care system. What
:07:53. > :07:54.we're seeing this weekend with the Conservatives under increasing
:07:55. > :07:58.pressure, because they've chosen a dementia tax, if you or your loved
:07:59. > :08:04.one has or will get dementia, they are coming for you Labour is also on
:08:05. > :08:09.the attack. They'd fund more public spending with some tax rises and cap
:08:10. > :08:12.individual care costs, claiming the Tory plan is unfair. The reason some
:08:13. > :08:16.people are calling this unfortunately is the dementia tax,
:08:17. > :08:20.is because you don't know what condition you will suffer from, and
:08:21. > :08:24.if you suffer dementia in your family, and I know what it's like,
:08:25. > :08:29.what happens is the burden falls upon you. But to sustain a system
:08:30. > :08:34.that is stretched, the Tories say there must be difficult decisions.
:08:35. > :08:40.However, Labour is pitching hard for older voters, confident they can
:08:41. > :08:44.gain some ground. Alex Forsyth, BBC News, Westminster.
:08:45. > :08:46.Tonight's leaders' debate here in Edinburgh is also likely
:08:47. > :08:48.to tackle the question of a second referendum on independence.
:08:49. > :08:51.The SNP say they already have a strong mandate,
:08:52. > :08:53.but the Conservatives claim they're picking up support in
:08:54. > :08:57.Scotland because of their unionist credentials.
:08:58. > :09:00.Our Scotland editor Sarah Smith has been to Kelso, a few miles
:09:01. > :09:02.from the border with England, to see how voters view
:09:03. > :09:10.In the 3:20 at Kelso, you can get good odds
:09:11. > :09:18.The Scottish Tories are also feeling confident here.
:09:19. > :09:22.They don't pretend they can overtake the SNP.
:09:23. > :09:26.But they do believe they could come from behind to take second place.
:09:27. > :09:28.I think the Conservatives will be quite strong in this area.
:09:29. > :09:35.Well, I think a lot of people are getting sick of the SNP,
:09:36. > :09:41.Going for independence is going to be a disaster.
:09:42. > :09:45.Even SNP supporters worry there's too much focus on independence,
:09:46. > :09:49.ever since Nicola Sturgeon demanded another referendum.
:09:50. > :09:51.She keeps banging on about independence,
:09:52. > :09:56.But you'll vote for her nevertheless?
:09:57. > :10:07.Back at the track the jockey wearing the Saltire shirt
:10:08. > :10:15.This constituency in the Scottish Borders
:10:16. > :10:17.is where the Tories have the best chance of taking
:10:18. > :10:25.They're hoping to elect up to a dozen Conservative MPs.
:10:26. > :10:33.Across Scotland the political argument has been completely
:10:34. > :10:37.redrawn, so that the main divide is no longer left versus right.
:10:38. > :10:39.It's now nationalist versus unionist.
:10:40. > :10:43.And the Scottish Tories have very successfully cast themselves
:10:44. > :10:46.as the only party who can defend the United Kingdom.
:10:47. > :10:50.The constitution is the biggest and most important and defining
:10:51. > :10:56.For a large number of voters they are prepared to support a party
:10:57. > :10:58.that they might disagree with on a number of issues,
:10:59. > :11:01.provided that party is sound on the constitutional question.
:11:02. > :11:04.That applies to SNP supporters and it increasingly applies
:11:05. > :11:14.That's why the players at the Kelso Cricket Club believe
:11:15. > :11:17.voting Tory could slow the SNP's demands for an independence
:11:18. > :11:21.But this election will not settle the constitutional question.
:11:22. > :11:24.If people are voting now thinking about the independence referendum,
:11:25. > :11:26.they're being silly because it's a general election, not
:11:27. > :11:33.It's not a referendum, but you can be sure the election
:11:34. > :11:36.result in Scotland will be used by all parties to try
:11:37. > :11:39.and justify their arguments for and against another
:11:40. > :11:56.I've been joined by our Scotland correspondent, Lorna Gordon. This is
:11:57. > :12:00.the first big leaders' debate of this campaign. I'm just wondering
:12:01. > :12:04.what for you is at stake, and the context of the campaign in Scotland
:12:05. > :12:08.and the big issues, what are the big things in the debate coming up? The
:12:09. > :12:11.question of the second independence referendum dominates political
:12:12. > :12:14.discourse here in Scotland at the moment, so inevitably it will be the
:12:15. > :12:19.focus of much of the night's debate, not least because there's a sense in
:12:20. > :12:22.this election is voters both sides of the divide may be thinking about
:12:23. > :12:27.voting tactically on this issue. So for the parties, there's a lot to
:12:28. > :12:31.play for. The Conservatives have made the union a central plank of
:12:32. > :12:35.their campaign, opposing the SNP's stands on this. For the SNP, I think
:12:36. > :12:38.they are more likely to be keen to focus on other areas, perhaps Brexit
:12:39. > :12:43.and what they perceive as the possible consequences of Brexit in
:12:44. > :12:48.areas like jobs and the economy. The SNP, then Lord -- their manifesto
:12:49. > :12:51.launches on Tuesday, but they will position themselves as an
:12:52. > :12:55.anti-austerity party and Nicola Sturgeon and other party leaders
:12:56. > :13:00.tonight, I think it's possible, we'll try to use this debate as an
:13:01. > :13:04.opportunity to take aim at Ruth Davidson, the leader of the Scottish
:13:05. > :13:09.Conservatives, over what are seen as some of the more controversial
:13:10. > :13:12.policies in the UK Conservative manifesto. Lorna Gordon, thank you,
:13:13. > :13:14.our correspondent in Scotland, looking forward to the debates in
:13:15. > :13:18.Edinburgh tonight. Polling day is on June eighth,
:13:19. > :13:20.but the deadline to register The latest figures from
:13:21. > :13:25.the Electoral Commission show there could be up to seven million
:13:26. > :13:27.people eligible to vote Sophie Long has been speaking
:13:28. > :13:31.to people in West Yorkshire, where both Conservatives and Labour
:13:32. > :13:41.chose to launch their manifestos. There is some flash photography in
:13:42. > :13:46.this report. In this barber shop in Leeds,
:13:47. > :13:48.where every vote could count, Because basically I
:13:49. > :14:03.don't understand it. Bev is assessing the
:14:04. > :14:08.trainee barbers here. I have no real interest
:14:09. > :14:10.in stuff like that. I don't really get all the politics
:14:11. > :14:20.and stuff like that. Young people - that's under 34s -
:14:21. > :14:35.are the least likely According to the Electoral
:14:36. > :14:39.Commission, just I haven't yet, no, I don't think
:14:40. > :14:43.I'm going to, either. As with so many things,
:14:44. > :14:45.lessons can be learned from those Each and every member
:14:46. > :15:03.of the sequence dancing group that meets here is not only registered
:15:04. > :15:05.to vote, but really can't understand I fought for this country
:15:06. > :15:10.in the Second World War so I think you should do,
:15:11. > :15:14.to get everything sorted out. I wouldn't like to miss it really,
:15:15. > :15:17.because especially this year, it's very important,
:15:18. > :15:19.what's going on. For the young people,
:15:20. > :15:22.they should vote as well, It's not really difficult.
:15:23. > :15:28.In fact, it's very easy. If you haven't got the Internet,
:15:29. > :15:37.just go to your local council office Either way you'll need your
:15:38. > :15:46.national insurance number. And you find that on your payslip,

:15:54. > :16:00.half a million people left it The clock is ticking.
:16:01. > :16:06.Tomorrow is deadline day. We'll have more from Edinburgh
:16:07. > :16:15.on the BBC News Channel and on BBC One in Scotland at 7:30pm
