Hello, I'm Karin Giannone, this is Outside Source.

Afghanistan's President has described a massive

bomb attack in Kabul as "a crime against humanity".

The explosion left 90 people dead including women and children.

The Taliban say they are not responsible.

We'll look at who might be behind the attack.

The US flexes it's defence muscles against North Korea -

launching a test missile from California.

With just eight days to until the UK election,

a party leaders TV debate has taken place.

But with one notable absence - Theresa May did not appear.

We'll bring you highlights from the debate and we'll be live

It's just eight days till the general election here in the UK -

and leaders from most of the main parties have been taking part

Interestingly - Prime Minister Theresa May wasn't there -

she ruled out doing head-to-head TV debates and sent a senior minister,

The main opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn had said he also

wouldn't go if Mrs May wasn't appearing - but he had a last

minute change of heart, and decided to turn up.

Let's hear him clashing with Amber Rudd over

We are a party who always supports those in most need.

And the welfare bill for helping people on disabilities has gone up

We will always provide that safety net.

Amber, you tried to remove safety nets away from people

on disabilities and turned around on that.

I know there is no extra payment you do not want to add to,

no tax you do not want to rise, but the fact is that we have

to concentrate our resources on the people who need it most.

And we have to stop thinking, as you do, that there's

Not surprisingly the issue of Brexit was a strong theme

The leader of the Liberal Democrats Tim Farron said it was vital that

Britain remained in the single market.

We also have to get the big choices right.

The fact is, we need to remain in the single market or else

we will not be able to afford the National Health Service,

social care or any of the support we are talking about.

And if Jeremy cared about having enough money to spend on those

who need it the most, to raise living standards,

he would not have trooped through the lobbies

with the Conservatives and Ukip to trigger Article 50

The Scottish National Party was represented by debited leader Angus

Robertson and he attacked Theresa May over how much pensioners would

have two sacrifice. Now, the Prime Minister didn't

have the guts to come along this I would like to challenge

Amber Rudd to tell us They must know how much

money that will bring in. Please tell the pensioners of this

country how much they will have Well, late last night a rather

surprising new poll was published. It's from the firm YouGov,

and it predicts a hung parliament - that's when no party wins

an overall majority. It's caused a bit of

a stir because until now Prime Minister Theresa May has

been way ahead. The BBC's poll tracker -

that's all the polls collated - still has Mrs May ahead

by ten points. And YouGov themselves have indicated

that their projection is subject The BBC's former political editor

Nick Robinson summed things up when he tweeted earlier:

"That's clear then. Pollsters say that the Tories

are on course to either lose 20 seats - @YouGov -

or gain majority of Let's go to Clive Myrie who's been

at the debate in Cambridge. How did it go? Hello. As you heard

from Nick Robinson, it is difficult to predict these things and no one

really knows what is going to happen, the only poll that is

important is the one next Thursday on the 8th of June. How did it go

tonight? Very raucous at times, talking over each other and you had

a sense of the back and forth of the debate with those clips, and I'm in

the spin room at Cambridge University where the journalists are

writing their copy and interpretation of the debate, how it

went for them, and we have had several politicians here trying to

give their interpretation of the reports that you are going to see on

the front pages. To my right is David Davis, he will be spinning his

particular line. Everyone is trying to put their interpretation on

exactly what happened and I reckon I've got the best interpretation of

all, our chief critical correspondent. How do you sum up it

went, the biggest election debate? It is a crowded field, seven parties

taking part, significantly Theresa May was not here, deciding she was

not going to come. Maybe looking at the sustained attack Amber Rudd came

under, you can maybe see why, because the Conservatives have been

in power seven years and they have a record to defend that she was

attacked about cuts to the police service and hospitals, schools, food

banks, and what they are doing with pensioners. All of that from all

sides. Her argument is, you have to make difficult decisions when you

are in power and she turned that back on the Labour Party and said,

you are promising to put up people's taxes and promising to borrow more,

you want to spend and it is a magic monetary, that is the basic argument

about the economy which was central -- magic money tree. The economy

really was the one which came forward as the most significant

topic. Jeremy Corbyn decided to turn up even though Theresa May did not

make it. He said he wouldn't if she didn't turn up, but he came here and

he debated with the others. Did it make sense, was it worth it for him?

His people believe, the more that the audience see him at the more

they like him, they are convinced that there are newspapers against

him and if he can get his message across directly to viewers without

the media in between, it will work. That is why they put him out there

today and he has looked more comfortable on the campaign trail.

It was easier for him because he hasn't got a record to defend, but

he was asked about immigration, that was interesting. Many of his

supporters previously at the last election ended up voting for Brexit,

and so there is a big discussion about immigration and whether Labour

want the numbers to come down. He simply spoke about the contribution

country and he was also asked about country and he was also asked about

security and terrorism, but because of the nature of the format, with

seven people, it don't get a sustained attack on you unless you

are the person representing the government. Thanks. It wasn't just

Cymru and Ukip and the Green Party, Cymru and Ukip and the Green Party,

this is a very big stage for them to lay out their stall as far as the

election is concerned. To talk to millions of people and get across

their message. We have about seven days to go before the all-important

day. Back to you. Thanks for joining us. And now sport.

It was announced yesterday but today it became official -

Arsene Wenger will be Arsenal manager for two more years.

Tulsen Tollett is at the BBC Sport Centre.

A number of supporters wanted him gone, but what is the general

reaction? Quite good. He has been at the club now 21 years and he has

done ever so well, and there was the period earlier in the year, the

debate about Arsene Wenger, some of the fans wanted him to stay and some

wanted him out, but they had a good finish to the season, culminating in

the FA Cup final victory over Chelsea at the weekend. Arsene

Wenger the only man to win the FA Cup seven times. Arsene Wenger was

incensed about what was said by some fans, but this is what he expects

from the club in the coming weeks. What is the basic DNA of the club,

let's be together to support our players and to support the club

and give absolutely altogether of our best to be at the level

where we want to be. We can move up to the next level,

I'm convinced of that. By having faith in the way

we want to play and supporting And of course we will try

to strengthen our squad, He talks about next season, they

finished in fifth place and they are in the Europa League and outside of

the Champions Day for the first time under Arsene Wenger. -- Champions

Day. -- Champions League. Thanks for joining us.

Margaret Court is a legend of the tennis arena,

having won 24 grand slam titles but now she's once again in hot

water for making disparaging comments about homosexuality.

In an interview with a Christian radio station, Court said tennis

was now "full of lesbians" and that "homosexuality was

a lust of the flesh, like adultery and fornication".

She added that transgender children were the work of the devil.

All this comes after Court last week wrote an open letter

to Australia's national airline, Qantas, saying she wouldn't fly

with them because of their support for same sex marriage.

Many now say an arena in Melbourne named after

Leading the charge another former great -

This was the response of men's world number one Andy Murray

I hadn't heard anything about the arena changing name, so I'm not sure

about that. I don't see why anyone has a problem with two people who

love each other getting married, if it's two men, two women, that's

great. I don't see why it should matter. It's not anyone else's

business and everyone should have, in my opinion, the same rights.

Yeah, that's my view on it. I don't agree with it.

Sudden cardiac death is the biggest killer of athletes and sports stars.

It can come completely out of the blue, with no prior symptoms.

Earlier this year we saw the death of Tottenham Hotspur's under 23

coach and former England international Ugo

And in 2012 Bolton Wanderer's midfielder Fabrice Muamba had to be

revived after collapsing during a game.

in sports cardiology, and regularly puts elite athletes

through their paces - under the guidance of renowned

cardiologist Professor Sanjay Sharma.

for any sign you might be likely to suffer from sudden cardiac arrest.

This is why the charity cardiac arrest in the young runs this lab.

12 deaths a week in the UK alone from cardiac arrest, sudden death,

and if you think of the impact this has on the family, such a tragic

event, but also the impact on the community, as well. The majority of

abnormalities show up on the ECG and other tests are sometimes needed. So

now we are going to put you on a exercise treadmill test, your heart

has electrodes to monitor the electrical events in your heart. You

can see this from exercise? Yes, we also monitoring the extent to which

your heart works, your maximum heart rate and other things like blood

pressure. It is the dynamic response as well as the electrical activity

of the heart and exercise full stop off you go.

I've got a feeling this is going to get a lot harder. Into stage three.

It's now starting to feel hard. I'm at the point where you would feel

like you would need to naturally run so I'm trying to judge whether I

should break into a jog but we have been going for nearly ten minutes

and still a long way to go. My heart rate reaches maximum. Here we go.

Well done. And a few minutes later... And stop it. Thank goodness

that is over. I'm given the all clear but picking up abnormalities

this way can save lives. No matter how exhausted I feel, for the vast

majority of us, the experts say the benefits of exercise far outweighed

the risks. Amazing work going on at St George 's Hospital in South

he was worried this was happening too soon after the attack,

from them was support. That we should do it

week can go on Sunday for free. This fan says that she will go,

I am nervous about going. I do get a bit sick to my stomach

thinking about going. But it is about getting back

into society and being around people, I think,

from the BBC newsroom. Afghanistan's president has

described a massive bomb attack in car ball as a crime against

humanity. The US has tested the strength

of it's defence system - successfully shooting down a dummy

ballistic missile - mid air. Here, at an airbase

north of Los Angeles, It's job was to shoot down

the fake ballistic missile which was launched from

the Marshall Islands That missile was designed

to imitate the type of weapon North Korea could fire -

it was shot down over the Ocean. The BBC's Peter Bowes has

the story, from Los Angeles. On display for everyone to see, the

complex technology behind America's ground-based interceptor designed to

halt a long-range missile in its tracks. The interceptor was launched

from an Air Force Base on the Californian coast, its target was a

mock up of an international ballistic missile, which was fired

from an island in the Pacific more than 4000 miles away. The operation

was likened to a bullet hitting another bullet, though at far higher

speeds, and it was a success and according to the director of the US

missile defence agency it was an incredible accomplishment and a

critical milestone. It demonstrated that America had a capable and

credible deterrent against a very real threat. Earlier this week North

ballistic missile test, officials ballistic missile test, officials

said the interceptor test was not timed as a response to the increased

tensions will vote North Korea are facing growing isolation from the

international community. United States will pursue an aggressive

domestic campaign to isolate the regime in North Korea and calls on

all countries concerned about North Korea's nuclear sabre rattling to

join us in this effort. Their growing ballistic missile threat

puts a serious risk strategic stability around the globe and

cannot go unchallenged. North Korea has ramped up its weapons programme

over the past year, with its successful interceptor test and more

to come, America isn't showing it has the technology that could thwart

an attack on its mainland. -- America is showing.

It shows North Korea's missile ranges.

These green rings show how far the missiles that have been

developed and tested so far can reach.

This red line - which stretches over to the US is what the country's

We can go to Washington. What do you make of this American test? It is a

big success, missile defence is something which has been criticised

in the US because it is very expensive, and the technology is not

deeply proven. It's not like other weapons which have been developed

over the years that had been robust the tested. They don't get tested

often, and this is a major step forward for US Missile defence. It

was the first time it was intercepted outside of the

atmosphere and US officials say that this is a big step and could prove a

big deterrent in keeping the US safe at least until 2020. How difficult

is the technology to develop? It has been described as two bullets

hitting each other midair. That is exactly right. I was talking to one

of the companies that makes this missile interceptor and they said

that is not even showing exactly how difficult it is because these

missiles are moving at thousands of miles per hour and the intercepts

are happening thousands of miles away from where the missile was

launched and where the interceptor is launched. The US says this is

preplanned and not a direct response to what North Korea has been doing.

There have been ninth ballistic missile tests by North Korea. I was

at the Pentagon this morning when the director of the missile defence

agency gave his briefing and I will tell you, he used North Korea and

Iran by name several times in the briefing, something that Pentagon

officials tend to be hesitant to do, they usually just say it is about

the threat or the threat that is out there, alluding to something like

Russia, China, North Korea, but he actually called them out by name.

They wanted North Korea to know this system has been tested and validated

and it works. What do you think the response will be from North Korea?

As we have seen in recent weeks and months, they have been firing off

many rockets, the last one on the 14th of May, into the atmosphere and

back. By all accounts there has been no sign of Kim Jong-un hacking down

and he is continuing to test missiles and so it is a wait and see

-- backing down. We will see what his responses. Does that make you

concerned? That this is repeated ignoring of the United Nations

resolutions, and they are continuing to carry out this test. It is a huge

concern to the military and they are constantly talking about this. James

Mattis a couple of weeks ago, he said he was very concerned about the

devastation North Korea could bring to say, South Korea, so we have got

to wait and see if they start testing again. And then see what the

US response is, whether it makes an example of another type of test just

like this. We are out of time. Thanks for joining us.

I don't know if you have fallen asleep while with a phone in your

hand, but this happened with Donald Trump, and it seems the president

fell asleep while he was in the middle of typing something on

Twitter and it has created something of a sensation. A lot of people are

trying to figure out the true meaning of that word. Thanks for

watching. Good evening.
