Tonight at Ten, President Trump has told the leaders of more | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
than forty Muslim nations, they must unite, to defeat | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
Speaking in Saudi Arabia, he said the Middle East cannot wait | :00:11. | :00:19. | |
for American power to crush the "barbaric criminals". | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
And we're live in Edinburgh tonight - where the Scottish party leaders | :00:22. | :00:36. | |
have engaged in their first televised debate of the campaign. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
Take your second referendum off the table... | :00:42. | :00:42. | |
..Do what you promised the people of Scotland... | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
There were some robust exchanges on the question | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
of Scottish independence - the impact of Brexit - | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
And we'll have the latest reaction to Conservative plans for reforming | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
social care and winter fuel benefit for pensioners. | :00:57. | :01:20. | |
President Trump has told the leaders of more than 40 Muslim nations, | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
they must join forces to defeat religious extremism. | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
He also said Arab leaders had a responsibility to tackle violence | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
Speaking in Saudi Arabia, on the second day of his tour | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
of the Middle East and Europe, he said extremists must find no | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
sanctuary, and he accused Iran of representing "the tip | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
of the spear of terrorism," helping to fuel sectarian conflict. | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
Our North America Editor, Jon Sopel, is travelling with the President. | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
The president has been on a deep immersion into Middle East politics | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
today, and a charm offensive, meeting a host of Arab and Gulf | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
And one central geopolitical subject, the fight against Islamist | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
extremism, and how to make good on his pledge to destroy | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
But after the trenchant and some would say Islamophobic language | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
of the Trump election campaign the president chose a much more | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
We are not here to tell other people how to live. | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
Instead, we are here to offer partnership. | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
Based on shared interests and values. | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
And he framed the choice that Arab leaders faced like this. | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
This is not a battle between different faiths. | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate | :02:45. | :02:55. | |
human life and decent people all in the name of religion. | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
This is a battle between good and evil. | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
And he said that if terrorism was to be defeated it was up | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
to the people in that room to do more. | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
A better future is only possible if your nations | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Drive them out of your places of worship. | :03:18. | :03:28. | |
This speech was a far cry from the language that | :03:29. | :03:43. | |
Donald Trump and his allies used during the campaign. | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
No more mention of this being a clash of sterilisations. | :03:47. | :03:58. | |
-- No more mention of this being a clash of civilisations. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
And the one phrase that he chided Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
for not using, radical Islamic terrorism was not even mentioned. | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
Donald J Trump is calling for a total and complete | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
shutdown of Muslims entering the United States. | :04:12. | :04:12. | |
Radical Islam is coming to our shores. | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
We have a radical Islamic terrorism problem, folks. | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
Donald Trump has made a lot of friends with his | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
A more inclusive tone, a pledge of American help, | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
combined with a strong attack on Iran. | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
Exactly what his Saudi hosts were hoping for. | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
And this is what President Trump wants to see more of, | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
the new global centre for combating extremist ideology that | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
And the clear message, this is a worldwide problem | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
Our Security Correspondent Frank Gardner joins us | :04:48. | :04:56. | |
from the Saudi Capital Riyadh now, Frank. | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
And the listened intently to the President's words, but what do you | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
think many of them are subjects and citizens made of his speech? They | :05:11. | :05:23. | |
nearly always is a considerable gulf between what leaders and government, | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
official media says, and what people are saying at street level. At an | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
official level, it has gone down well, there is some relief in Riyadh | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
that somebody who shoots from the hip and goes off script has stuck to | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
the script. And has said things that have gone down pretty popularly | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
here. At street level people are saying, one speech isn't going to | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
undo the prejudice they think America shows towards the Muslim | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
nations, that goes back decades in their view. People in Iran are | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
saying this is a slap in the face for their election that they had | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
only two days ago, which has re-elected a relative reformer. | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
People in some other countries have pointed to the fact that Saudi | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
Arabia has been supporting some fairly extreme groups, or money has | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
ended up in extreme hands in Syria. It is a mixed reaction. I would not | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
call it a total success in terms of the way the Middle East sees this. | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
Thanks very much. Now with the latest general election | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
news, let's go live to Huw Edwards, who's in Edinburgh tonight, | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
Huw. In Edinburgh tonight - | :06:42. | :06:42. | |
the party leaders in Scotland have engaged in their first major | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
debate of the campaign - there were some robust exchanges - | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
on the question of a second independence referendum - | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
and on the implications of Brexit. They also touched on some | :06:52. | :07:01. | |
of the welfare reforms that the Conservatives | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
are proposing at Westminster. We'll have more on the | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
debate in a moment. But first - the latest on those | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
controversial Conservative plans - for reforming social care in England | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
- and the winter fuel Our political correspondent | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
Alex Forsyth reports. In elections, manifestos are key, | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
a pitch to voters, one of her promises last week - | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
a fairer country for young and old. Real technical education | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
for young people. And the first ever proper plan | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
to pay for and provide social care. But in her party there | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
is some disquiet about What it'll mean for pensioners | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
and homeowners, not least On the doorstep yesterday, | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
Theresa May was to explain. Well, currently in England you pay | :07:43. | :07:55. | |
for care if you have assets Under the new plan that'll | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
go up to ?100,000. So nobody with assets worth less | :08:02. | :08:10. | |
than that will have to pay. But that new calculation will | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
include the value of your house, The Work and Pensions Secretary | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
today said nobody would have to sell their home in their lifetime | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
and the plan would protect some And people who are lucky | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
to have had great rises in property value will still, | :08:25. | :08:39. | |
I think, decide that the ?100,000 But this has got to be put | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
into the context of this is funding The Conservatives say this policy | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
shows if they end up back in here they will make the tough | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
choices needed by governments. Boris Johnson said he understood | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
people's reservations, However, the party's political | :08:56. | :08:56. | |
opponents sense some vulnerability. What we are seeing this weekend | :08:57. | :09:05. | |
with the Conservatives under increasing pressure | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
because they have If you or your loved one has | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
or will get dementia, Labour, too, is on the attack, | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
claiming the Tory plan is unfair. The reason some people unfortunately | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
call this a dementia tax is because you don't know | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
what condition you'll suffer from. If it is a more serious one | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
like dementia, and I'll tell you, I've been through this in my family, | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
I know what it is like, what happens But the Tories say to sustain | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
a system that is stretched they will stick to this plan | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
and consult on the detail. Nonetheless, Labour's pitching | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
hard to older voters, confident on this they can | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
gain some ground. Here in Edinburgh tonight - | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
the party leaders debated the question of a second | :09:48. | :09:55. | |
independence referendum - the likely impact of Brexit - | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
and the direction of health and education policy - | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
two areas of responsibility Our correspondent Lorna Gordon | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
reports on the first leaders' debate The question of whether there should | :10:05. | :10:22. | |
be a second independence referendum dominates politics in Scotland. | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
Tonight's election debate covered Brexit and Scotland's future | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
relationship with Europe. No surprise that the Fire East comments | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
were about Scotland's place in the UK. -- the fiery comments were about | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
Scotland's place in the UK. Arguing over who has been driving the | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
constitutional debate so far. She says I talk about nothing else. She | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
talks so much about independent I cannot get a word in. I have a Tory | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
leaflet here and it mentions an independence referendum 26 times. It | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
doesn't mention the NHS ones. It doesn't mention education once. | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
There was a simple way, if people want me to stop fighting | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
independence, there is a simple way of doing it, take your second | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
referendum of the table. The Labour manifesto is clearly against | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
independence and a referendum because of the ?15 billion worth of | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
additional cuts that would come with that. For the SNP it's always about | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
independence. Today Brexit is the excuse. Every other day it could be | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
any excuse. There were questions from the audience, some on devolved | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
issues such as health, education, and passion from the party leaders. | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
The You have had ten years. Proud of | :11:41. | :11:59. | |
cuts, fewer support staff, and a widening gap between the richest and | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
poorest, that your -- that is your record. The gap between the richest | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
on the poorest is not widening. The gap between the richest and the | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
poorest is narrowing. You should put a modest penny on income tax to have | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
a colossal effect on public services. We want to invest | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
education... For Ruth Davidson the task was to defend decisions at | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
Westminster at times. You are having remote ability cars taken away. More | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
have been issued now since 2010. For the Greens and you get a chance to | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
pitch to a wider audience. Plenty for voters to ponder with a general | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
election campaign which still has weeks to run. | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
Well our Scotland Editor Sarah Smith is here. | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
She has been busy, she was motivating the debate earlier this | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
evening. There were tough exchanges. This is a Westminster election, yet | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
the debate will be on that. There were some good questions from the | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
audience about health and education that sparked some of the liveliest | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
issues. That is controlled by the Scottish Government in Holyrood. | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
They have been in government for ten years now. People are taking into | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
account how the schools and hospitals are being run. It cannot | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
be divorced from the Westminster election. Nicola Sturgeon got a hard | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
time about that. She also had a few blows on Ruth Davidson, talking | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
about austerity cuts. It is noticeable that Ruth Davidson often | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
looks at her most uncomfortable when she is defending policies of the UK | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
Conservative Party that come from Westminster. Brexit and independence | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
were the main topics of the night. Nicola Sturgeon wanting to get a | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
message across, a vote for the SNP is to get Scotland's voice heard in | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
the Brexit negotiations. She didn't answer the question about how bad | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
will happen when the PM has already ruled out having a seat at the | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
Brexit negotiating table. On the independence referendum, labour and | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
the Lib Dems keen to say they will block a second referendum, they will | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
not let it happen. They are worried the Tories have portrayed themselves | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
as the party that will do the most to protect the UK. They want to get | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
in and say they will block any referendum, as well. Thanks very | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
much. Consumer borrowing is approaching | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
levels not seen since the 2008 financial crisis - | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
with almost three million people struggling with severe | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
debt across the UK. It's an issue both the Conservatives | :14:41. | :14:41. | |
and Labour are addressing in their manifestos - | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
both promising schemes that make it As part of our | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
Reality Check series on key issues in the run up to the election - | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
tonight, Steph McGovern When you are in debt, | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
keeping your head above water can be really hard work, | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
and if you look at our combined personal debt in the UK, | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
we owe something like ?1.5 trillion. Look at those zeroes, | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
it is a lot of money, the equivalent of everyone over 16 | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
owing ?28,000 each. The bulk of that money | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
is on mortgages, at ?1.3 trillion. Then if you look at spending | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
on credit cards, that is Overdrafts, personal | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
loans, and a big growth Not included is student-loan debt, | :15:22. | :15:32. | |
at about ?86 billion, which has What do people actually | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
think about that? We rounded up a couple | :15:41. | :15:48. | |
of swimmers, Tracey and Mike. There is a purpose for credit cards, | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
I use them for overseas transactions and things I am not familiar with, | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
but I pay it off immediately, In my student days, I was in quite | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
a large amount of student debt, and that is an area I do not | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
want to return to. Bills come in constantly, | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
but I try to look at the positives, because there are people | :16:15. | :16:25. | |
who are a lot worse off. Next time you can have a swim | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
when your arm is better, It is people with money problems | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
who come to you at the food bank? It is not just about food, | :16:33. | :16:42. | |
although we distribute two tonnes They come with other | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
issues, and debt issues There has been a change in the type | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
of people coming with debt problems? Yes, it used to just be people | :16:49. | :17:01. | |
on low income, benefit income, but now it is people working, | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
they are using their credit facilities to get | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
through to the next payday. There is a lot of debt | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
sloshing around out there, but how do we compare | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
to our neighbours? This shows debt as a percentage | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
of disposable income, and you can see the UK is quite | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
high, but not as high as Australia, Denmark and Canada, | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
all of which have robust Do we need to worry | :17:30. | :17:31. | |
about being in debt? Debt sounds like a dirty word, | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
but it does not have to be, as long as you can repay | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
what you borrow, and you are not using it to cover your | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
day-to-day living expenses. Wages are not expected to go | :17:44. | :17:44. | |
up and inflation is, so that could squeeze our household | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
incomes, and we will If rates went up by 1%, | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
that would be an extra ?71 a month on an 85-grand | :17:51. | :18:00. | |
variable-rate tracker mortgage. Research from Experian says that | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
almost 6 million households currently have no savings | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
whatsoever, which could leave people struggling if things | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
do get more costly. But debt can be good | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
if you are repaying it sensibly, it can help you to buy things | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
to make your life easier. For many people, managing | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
it is dependent on economic stability, and things might look | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
calm at the moment, but there And for more on the election, | :18:26. | :18:28. | |

bbc.co.uk/election2017. Scientists in the UK | :18:47. | :18:56. | |
are investigating whether many cases of depression could be triggered | :18:57. | :19:06. | |
by an overactive immune system. It's a theory attracting a lot | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
of attention, and researchers are now looking at whether some | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
anti-inflammatory drugs might Our Medical Correspondent Fergus | :19:14. | :19:15. | |
Walsh has this special report. Depression is now the leading | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
cause of ill health But around a third of patients | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
who seek help don't respond to drug So now scientists are trying | :19:26. | :19:32. | |
a radical new approach. This team at King's College London | :19:33. | :19:46. | |
are examining physical, rather In particular, they are looking | :19:47. | :19:48. | |
at whether the immune system, which is designed to defend our | :19:49. | :19:57. | |
bodies, can be a source Carmine Pariante has spent | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
20 years investigating the link between the immune | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
system and depression. So we know that stress | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
activates the immune system. It is a physiological response | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
in a situation of dangers. However, chronic life adversity | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
switches on the immune It disrupts the connection | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
between the different neurones and this is what creates | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
the depressive symptoms. They are looking for bio markers | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
in patients' blood and saliva that show inflammation, | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
a sign that the immune They are hoping to help patients | :20:34. | :20:34. | |
like Michaela Whitton from Brighton. Depression, I think, | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
has always been with me, from my teenage years | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
until today, you know? It's been something that has limited | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
