:00:15. > :00:22.With me now and also at 11:30 this evening are Kate Proctor,

:00:23. > :00:24.Political Correspondent at The London Evening Standard

:00:25. > :00:30.Let's start with tomorrow's front pages.

:00:31. > :00:33.The Financial Times leads with Theresa May's anticipated tour

:00:34. > :00:35.of marginal Labour-held constituencies in the last day

:00:36. > :00:42.The i has an image of the Australian nurse who was killed

:00:43. > :00:47.in the London Bridge attack after she ran towards those

:00:48. > :00:52.The Metro opens with Theresa May ramping

:00:53. > :00:54.up her anti-terror rhetoric two days before the election.

:00:55. > :00:56.The Guardian also reports on Theresa May's promise

:00:57. > :00:59.that she is ready to change human rights laws, if they stop

:01:00. > :01:02.the government from tackling the threat from terrorism.

:01:03. > :01:04.The Times says that MI5 ignored a warning from the Italian

:01:05. > :01:07.authorities, that one of the London Bridge attackers

:01:08. > :01:15.Italian-Moroccan Youseff Zaghba was placed on an international watch

:01:16. > :01:20.The Daily Mirror reports that British authorities were warned

:01:21. > :01:30.of Zaghba after he tried to flee Italy to fight in Syria.

:01:31. > :01:36.Kate, front page of the Financial Times, Theresa May targeting

:01:37. > :01:41.heartlands and ramping up anti-terror rhetoric. They are

:01:42. > :01:45.really going to go for it in the last 24 hours of campaigning. Those

:01:46. > :01:49.seats in the north and the Midlands that they believe they could take

:01:50. > :01:55.from the other side. Absolutely, she did this and the start of the

:01:56. > :01:59.campaign. She was going after seats that had 8000 majorities for Labour,

:02:00. > :02:07.unusual places for the Tories to be campaigning. Chris Bailey and --

:02:08. > :02:12.Chris Grayling was in Bolsover. Here she is, as the Financial Times

:02:13. > :02:15.reports, the last two days of campaigning, going back out to the

:02:16. > :02:21.Labour heartlands and specifically the ones who supported Brexit.

:02:22. > :02:24.Absolutely, it's the Ukip vote that they are after, they believe they

:02:25. > :02:29.can lock down now and as a result, take those seats. Perhaps it is an

:02:30. > :02:33.occasion, she is acknowledging that things are tight but looking at the

:02:34. > :02:38.opinion polls, it is anyone's guess. One of them said that they are

:02:39. > :02:42.within a percent of each other, another says it could be a Tory

:02:43. > :02:48.landslide. If you look at the picture, the Corbyn rallies up and

:02:49. > :02:51.down the country, in Gateshead there were 10,000 people. I know it is a

:02:52. > :02:56.Labour heartland and many of them will be young people, and whether

:02:57. > :03:01.they go out and vote is another issue. But the way he's changed

:03:02. > :03:06.opinion during the course of the campaign and gathered support is

:03:07. > :03:14.quite surprising. I've seen Mrs May go from supremely confident to, a

:03:15. > :03:20.couple of times, to me, not looking broken but certainly less confident.

:03:21. > :03:25.Tonight, looking as if she has regained the upper ground. Yeah,

:03:26. > :03:30.absolutely. Going to the Guardian, Theresa May threatening to dismantle

:03:31. > :03:33.human rights laws in the wake of terror attacks. We spoke about this

:03:34. > :03:37.and you said that you detected in her come in this speech when she

:03:38. > :03:43.came out with this stuff, feeling a lot more confident and sure of

:03:44. > :03:48.herself. Going back to a speech in April, 2016, and the Institute of

:03:49. > :03:52.mechanical engineers in London. As Home Secretary she said she wanted

:03:53. > :03:56.to ditch the European Convention of human rights, saying it prevents the

:03:57. > :04:01.deportation of dangerous foreign nationals. She believes this stuff,

:04:02. > :04:08.it isn't just politics. Absolutely she does, she struck a chord when

:04:09. > :04:13.she said in front of the Tory party supporters, if it effectively

:04:14. > :04:19.demands dismantling human rights laws, so be it. And previously she

:04:20. > :04:24.said enough is enough, one of those phrases, like Tony Blair, after the

:04:25. > :04:28.death of Princess Diana, the people's Princess, one of those

:04:29. > :04:31.phrases, saying what people want to hear and that's what she did

:04:32. > :04:35.tonight. She looked more relaxed and confident when she said it. What

:04:36. > :04:42.we're talking about, I imagine, going back to something like the old

:04:43. > :04:49.control orders that Labour introduced in 2004, I think. Beefing

:04:50. > :04:52.up the TPims to be more like control orders, which restrict people's

:04:53. > :04:59.movements, when you suspect they are at it but can't prove it. How do

:05:00. > :05:04.Labour deal with this now, with 24 hours to go? Security is one area

:05:05. > :05:07.where Theresa May really excels, actually. She's had a lot of

:05:08. > :05:13.criticism about the police cuts. Despite the police cuts? When she's

:05:14. > :05:17.delivering the speeches to the nation at Downing Street I think she

:05:18. > :05:20.really gets to people and her message gets across. I think she

:05:21. > :05:26.excels at it and Jeremy Corbyn really doesn't. I think she is in

:05:27. > :05:33.the best position for the next two days on the issue of security. Loads

:05:34. > :05:37.of people have said, this election, forget Brexit, you can almost forget

:05:38. > :05:41.the dementia tax, it is whoever you think will best protect us. That

:05:42. > :05:48.will be the way that the Conservatives will be spinning the

:05:49. > :05:51.next 24-hour is. Kate, "I'm going to be a terrorist", the man who was

:05:52. > :05:58.apparently on the radar of the Italians, who ended up killing

:05:59. > :06:02.Londoners. A lot of foreign tourists, actually. This man was

:06:03. > :06:07.involved in a very nasty attack. What strikes me about this, this

:06:08. > :06:14.person was effectively pulled over in Italy, to what I feel was a lot

:06:15. > :06:18.of evidence, images on his phone. That phrase, I'm going to be a

:06:19. > :06:22.terrorist, and yet the Italian courts couldn't do anything and they

:06:23. > :06:27.let him go. He was going to Syria, he had a backpack. I'm surprised the

:06:28. > :06:30.Italians couldn't do anything about this. Questions to answer for the

:06:31. > :06:34.British reaction as well but we've got to look at how our European

:06:35. > :06:39.partners are dealing with this. I'm astonished that this person wasn't

:06:40. > :06:44.pulled aside in Italy. We are leaving the European Union. It's all

:06:45. > :06:50.right then saying, why didn't the British pick him up, but they say

:06:51. > :06:59.that he had Isis information on his phone, he was put on some systems

:07:00. > :07:03.they have, which is shared by the Italians and MI5 and MI6, but

:07:04. > :07:11.whether they saw it is another issue. I feel sorry for the security

:07:12. > :07:17.forces. 23,000 cases apparently where they might investigate, 3000

:07:18. > :07:21.people probably at it, if they get the chance, 500 active cases and it

:07:22. > :07:28.takes 30 people to monitor one person for 24 hours. Where do they

:07:29. > :07:31.start? And they've stopped what, 18 serious terror attacks in the last

:07:32. > :07:38.few years and three this year already? Absolutely. It's not easy.

:07:39. > :07:43.And the game has changed, they may in the past have been looking at

:07:44. > :07:47.people who were trying to get bomb material, plotting things on the

:07:48. > :07:52.Internet but in this latest incident, all these guys did is get

:07:53. > :07:58.some knives and hire a van. It is the change to the soft targets. Very

:07:59. > :08:02.low tech weaponry. The Guardian has a picture of the nurse who was

:08:03. > :08:07.killed, Kate, she was running towards the danger to help people

:08:08. > :08:13.who had been injured and she herself died. This is a stunning picture of

:08:14. > :08:17.this nurse, Kirsty Boden. What an incredible thing for her to have

:08:18. > :08:22.done in her last moments, to go and help other people who were facing so

:08:23. > :08:25.much danger. Some beautiful tributes from her colleagues and I'm so

:08:26. > :08:29.pleased the Guardian have this on their front page because we should

:08:30. > :08:32.remember the individuals. We must leave it there, you will be back in

:08:33. > :08:38.half an hour and we will look at some more stories. That's it, join

:08:39. > :08:45.us again for the news at the top of the hour.
