07/06/2017 Victoria Derbyshire

Hello. It's 9am.

I'm Victoria Derbyshire. Welcome to the programme.

Well, it's here, the last full day of campaigning

Let me know either way and who you think you're

We will have all the latest from the main parties as they push

Last day of campaigning means our last Election Blind Dates

where we've been playing matchmaker to well-known faces who are poles

Today it's the turn of former Labour advisor Ayesha Hazarika

Things have changed and they have changed dramatically. You know

Brexit changes everything. Stop banging on about it for a while and

talk about the other issues, the really, really important issues.

Also, "you need to do it", the text sent by a woman on trial

in America for urging her boyfriend to kill himself.

Prosecutors say Michelle Carter drove Conrad Roy to take his own

This hour we are talking to a mum who is calling for a vaccine

that is exclusively given to girls to be given to boys too.

It's to protect against a virus called HPV which can cause

different types of cancer and sexually transmitted diseases.

Have you got sons and do you want them protected?

An official decision has yet to be made as to whether boys should get

it. Do get in touch on all the stories

we're talking about this morning - use the hashtag Victoria LIVE

and If you text, you will be charged Plus have you made up your mind how

you are going to vote? Let me know who and why,

and if you're still undecided, It's the final day of campaigning

in the general election and the party leaders will be

on a hectic schedule of visits to key towns

and cities across Britain The closing stages of the campaign

have been dominated by the issue of security

following the London Bridge Our political guru Norman Smith

is at Westminster. Who is doing what and where today,

Norman? There is just frenetic activity today, so Mrs May started

early doors down in Smithfield market. That's the old meat market

in Central London, not the place to go if you're a squeamish about

coming face-to-face with a cow's carcass first thing in the morning,

but Mrs May started there. Jeremy Corbyn is starting out in Glasgow.

He's winding his way down through Wales and ends up in his home patch

in Islington in Central London and Tim Farron is dotting around to

various key target seats for the Lib Dems. Often sort of university towns

where he's trying to hoover up some of the Remain support. So that

blizzard of last minute activity to claw in as many votes just before

election day. Now, news about Diane Abbott. She isn't very well, is she?

She isn't, no. I guess a lot of us were sort of raising eyebrows when

she pulled out of that woman's hour debate yesterday at the last minute

and we all thought aye-aye the Labour leadership told her not to do

it because she has been unsteady in some of her public appearances. You

remember that time when she had a very difficult time trying to

remember the police numbers and how much it was going to cost to

implement Labour's policy. This morning, Jeremy Corbyn was asked

about Diane Abbott and he said she was still not well and now we've had

a statement from Labour saying actually her shadow is going to

stand, her number two is going to stand in for her for a few days.

That suggests this isn't just passing migraine or a dickie tummy,

it suggests Diane Abbott really might be quite ill. It seems she

will be out of action for a bit. OK. OK. The question that people like

you probably don't like very much, but everybody wants to know! Who is

going to win this election, Norman? Oh my god. You might as well ask

Mystic Meg! Why ask me. I have got just about every political call

wrong in the past five years. I think anything could happen because

frankly who knows what people out there are thinking. We seem to live

in volatile uncertain times. You think of Brexit. You think of Donald

Trump. I would just say fasten your seat belts and hold on and let's

see! What a wonderfully,ic and gorgeous answerment more from Norman

later. Joanna Gosling is in the BBC

Newsroom with a summary That's a good summary of how we're

all feeling about it! The Home Office is coming under

mounting pressure to explain how one of the London Bridge attackers

was able to return to the UK despite The Italian authorities said

they had issued warnings about Yousef Zaghba,

whom they suspected of supporting the Islamic State group,

after he tried to travel to Syria. These are the three men who brought

terror to the streets of London The third confirmed

as Youssef Zaghba was an Italian national born in Morocco who lived

in East London. The 22-year-old wasn't

regarded as a security threat by police or MI5,

but today questions Zaghba was stopped at

Bologna Airport last year Italian police say he was placed

on a watch-list with British Border security staff are accused

of still allowing him The Home Office has

declined to comment. The Australian Government says two

of its nationals were among Their names haven't been

officially confirmed. Kirsty Boden, a senior

nurse at Guy's Hospital, murdered as she ran to help people

who had been knocked Described as selfless,

caring and heroic. The family of Sara Zelenak,

a nanny from Brisbane, She's one of those people that

doesn't drink, doesn't do drugs, She's amazing and she's

21 years of age. French media have also confirmed

the death of Alexandre Pigeard, a Borough market restaurant

waiter from Normandy. Sebastien Boulanger's family

are travelling to the UK from France to find out what's happened

to the chef. Desperate searches and desperate

days for so many who found themselves caught up

in this tragedy. Our correspondent Sara Smith is at

New Scotland Yard. What's the latest? Officers from New

Scotland Yard carried out a search warrant in East London, in Ilford

overnight. At 1.30am they arrested a 30-year-old man. Now, searches are

carrying on at that address as they are at other addresses in East

London. This man, this 30-year-old, was arrested on suspicion of

commission, preparation, or instigation of terrorist acts and

he's being held for questioning at a police station in South London.

There are also other arrests yesterday in Barking. So far we know

that 12 people have been arrest, who have been arrested have been

released without charge. There are two people in custody. There was a

man in his 30s arrested in Ireland, in Wexford, just south of Dublin. He

is arrested on his connections with one of the killers, Rachid Redouane.

There was an arrest made at Heathrow. That's in connection with

the Manchester bombings. A 38-year-old man was arrested there.

All in all, there are seven people in custody as far as that

investigation is concerned. Thank you, Sara.

Police investigating the Manchester bombing

in which 22 people were killed, have arrested a 38-year-old

man at Heathrow Airport in a planned operation.

Detectives say they've found evidence that the suicide bomber,

Salman Abedi, had stored parts for his device in a white

Reports from Iran say a security guard has been killed

in a shooting in the country's parliament in Tehran.

An armed man is said to have entered the building and opened fire,

Across the city, at a this Rhine a suicide bomber reportedly shot

several people before detonating explosives.

President Trump has spoken to the King of Saudi Arabia

to discuss his country's decision to cut ties with Qatar

because of its alleged support for extremist groups.

Mr Trump had earlier backed the move, saying it could be

"the beginning of the end to the horror of terrorism".

A White House spokesman said the President had stressed the need

There are calls for the HPV vaccine, which is currently

only given to girls, to be received by boys too.

The human papilloma virus jab is offered to teenage girls

in the UK to protect against cervical cancer.

Experts say there is increasing evidence on links between HPV

After 10am, we'll be talking to a mum, who's had

a HPV-related cancer herself, and wants her sons

to receive the vaccine as well as her daughter.

The American-based taxi firm, Uber, says it has sacked 20 employees

after an investigation into complaints of sexual

harassment, bullying and other issues.

Uber has been under fire over its treatment of women staff

since a former employee wrote a scathing blog post

Most complaints came from workers at the firm's San Francisco base.

A 14-year study of nearly a million people at risk

of developing heart disease, found those who were married

fared much better than those who were single.

Researchers from Aston Medical School found married people

with high cholesterol were 16% more likely to be alive at

It also found that married people with diabetes had a 14%

And married patients with high blood pressure were 10%

Researchers believe, although they cannot prove it,

that a loving spouse may encourage you to stay fit and well.

It could be a whole range of things ranging from having someone, a close

relative to be able to offer you support in taking your medications,

being your rehab programmes and things and also seeking help from a

doctor when you know you need it and in particular men are notoriously

bad for doing that and it's having a spouse can help with that.

That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 9.30am.

Thank you very much. One viewer in Dundee says I normally vote SNP, but

I will be voting Conservative because the SNP want to stay in the

European Union. And this text from Adrian, "I'm voting Labour. We have

had years of austerity with no improvement." Get in touch with us

throughout the morning. Who are you going to vote for and why and if

you're undecided tell me what it is that you're weighing up at this late

stage. If you're texting, you will be charged at the standard network

rate. Let's get some sport

with Hugh Woozencroft. The British and Irish Lions

are in action on their tour of New Zealand -

how's it going? One media outlet in New Zealand

describing Warren Gatland's side as reaching levels of mead OK rity.

Before the match there was a minute's silence held in memory of

the victims of the recent terror attacks in London and Manchester.

The Lions faced down a traditional chant. The Blues showed some class.

The Blues went ahead early on. The Lions had a try narrowly ruled out

before the back row bundled over to square things up. A conversion and

further penalty edged the Lions ahead. There are ten minutes before

half-time and that one the Lions much improved so far, but still

plenty to play for in the coming minutes.

The FA seem determined to tackle hooliganism.

Tell us about the bans they've handed out to supporters.

Two supporters club members made Nazi gestures in the match against

germ in March. There was booing of the German National Anthem and

singing about the Second World War as well ahead of the match in

Dortmund. The FA has taken a strong line now. The two fans who made Nazi

references towards German fans have been handed lifetime bans from the

England supporters travel club. That's the only way to get England

tickets away from homement they are forbidden to attend all of their

country's away games. 27 people have seen their membership suspended for

varying lengths of time. Six handed written warnings and other cases

pending as well and the FA taking a strong stance. They're determined to

tackle what they fear is a new generation of hooliganism.

Now, you've got some really dramatic pictures to show us

What's the latest from Sir Ben Ainslie's challenge?

They are into the semifinal of qualifying taking on New Zealand,

but look at this for a moment of drama yesterday. New Zealand's

catamaran suddenly capsizing forwards on the run-in to the start

of one of the races. Some crew were left suspended in the boat's hull

above the water. Three were thrown overboard, but all the crew were

safe and accounted for. Some cuts and bruises, of course, but they did

say it was entirely their fault. BA R captain Sir Ben said he'd never

seen anything like it in his 30 years of racing. It does mean they

got a helping hand, Ben Ainslie's team. They trail New Zealand 3-1 in

the best of nine series. Plenty of work. They should be back on the

water in Bermuda later on if the weather conditions are suitable.

Time for the sixth and final edition of our Election Blind Dates.

Over the last week, we've been playing matchmaker to some

well-known faces who are poles apart when it comes to politics.

Nigel Farage and Rachel Johnson, Peter Stringfellow and Mary Beard,

Gina Miller and Godfrey Bloom - our unlikely couples have ended up

having some fascinating conversations and quite often,

You've told us that you've really appreciated seeing people

who disagree with each other on some fundamental issues, talking about

Today, the SNP's Tommy Sheppard - who set up The Stand Comedy club -

She was once advisor to Labour's Ed Miliband,

But when the conversation turns to the question

of Scottish independence, will either of them be laughing?

There's an election on and people are talking politics.

So what happens when you send two people with opposing

I'm like, oh my god, this has been so long.

You see people that are sat there and can go and work

They choose to go and sign on - it angers me.

When people stand at the dispatch box and tell me there's

more money in education, I look around and wonder

Because it's not in my children's school.

I went on a date with a guy and he drank so much.

He did then said to me, you couldn't pay for the cab, could you?

Gordon Brown, Harriet Harman, Ed Miliband - that went really well.

Now I'm a political commentator and a stand-up comedian.

When I was growing up in the West of Scotland you had religion,

the Labour Party and you had Rangers and Celtic.

I think I'm the kind of person on a date I'll have strong initial

Do you think sparks are going to fly?

I'm the SNP candidate for Edinburgh East.

It's been a long time since I've been on a date.

I'm really curious as to who it's going to be, you know.

Who would you not want to be going on a date with?

Is there anyone I wouldn't go on a date with?

Do you know, I'm that desperate, probably not.

Do you know what, I thought it was going to be Alex Salmond.

We're going to agree with each other too much, I think.

Are you ready for Prime Minister Corbyn?

You know, given that she was 24 points ahead

in the polls, he started off the campaign with a photocall

in a toilet, it was sort of like, everyone was, I think we know

Well, here we are, six days out and it's incredible.

She's gone from strong and stable to not willing

Also, she's had such a stinker of a campaign.

What's interesting, right, she's been a lucky general.

She didn't even have a proper leadership contest.

She had to go up against Andrea Leadsom.

That is like winning Wimbledon against a wheelie bin.

The thing is, Woman's Hour is not an easy game.

People make the assumption that women's media is like a soft ride.

They do it with mumsnet and with Woman's Hour.

They sometimes do it with women's magazines.

And actually it's just really insulting to think that

because you have a female journalist the questions aren't going to be

But to be honest, the fact that Theresa May won't even turn up to do

I feel she's in a witness protection scheme now.

I was on This Week last night with Andrew Neil.

So I spent - not hours, days - it was like cramming for an exam.

I knew the price of every single spending commitment

I could have just gone in there and chatted

I've got to eat something which I'm not going to get all over myself.

I think we're all cautious of not having a Miliband moment.

So, listen, you're in touch with the right wing

Don't call it the right wing of the Labour Party!

That's not fair, the right wing of the Labour Party.

Well, there's a right and left of everything.

Well, people who just don't agree with Corbyn.

Well, those people, what are they going to do if Corbyn

Another five years of just trying to knife him

That's going to be boring, apart from anything else.

On that, we are a party that exists to win parliamentary seats,

that is what the Labour Party exists to do, to get into power, to do

So if you tick that box, everything else is forgiven?

No, I'm not saying that, hear me out.

What I will say is that Corbyn has had a good election campaign.

So I think the truth is, even if he loses the election

and even if loads of Labour MPs lose their seats, I reckon

he will still be around as the leader of the Labour Party.

Why do you want another Scottish referendum?

Don't you think the people of Scotland have had

Things have changed quite dramatically.

The United Kingdom that people voted to be part of in 2014 is not

If you go to a shop and you buy something, and you get it home...

If you go to a shop, you buy something, you take it

home and you open it up, and what you find is not

what it says on the packet, well, you take it back and you say,

And I think a lot of people are finding that the decision

they took in 2014 isn't what it said on the packet.

There's been a lot of democracy in Scotland.

I think the good thing about that is people

are really energised about politics in Scotland.

But I think the plea from people is, can we just move off the obsession

Nicola Sturgeon is like the Beyonce of Scottish politics.

She's a woman obsessed with her independence.

That's a great soundbite but it's not true.

And let's just see some of that focus on the big day job stuff.

Every time somebody goes to the chemist and gets

a prescription and doesn't pay ?8.60 - that's doing the day job.

Every time a kid in a Scottish university doesn't get a bill

for ?27,000 for their fees, that's doing the day job.

If you look at Nicola's speech, she was very very clear,

that now was not the time for a second

We need to know the shape of Brexit first.

It's like saying "I don't want to have this conversation

now, I want to have it in three years' time."

Well, wait and have it in a few years' time.

We're all frustrated with Theresa May about Brexit.

She's treating the public like potatoes, best kept in the dark.

We don't know how Brexit is going to pan out.

And my goodness, we've had plenty of democracy.

And people have the right to change their minds.

I thought it was a once in a generation?

There's no point asking the question again if no-one

has changed their mind or if circumstances haven't changed.

Stop banging on about it for a while and talk

about the other issues, the really, really important issues.

You know, you have been in government for a long

There are lots of issues to be dealt with.

There is much more that needs to be done but I would ask

One, that the actual performance of the health service in Scotland

The second thing to note, we do that within a framework

of Scottish Parliament operating within the rules and within budgets

which are mainly set in number 10 and number 11 Downing Street.

My dad was in hospital recently and was lying on a trolley

in a corridor for quite a while before he got into bed.

So you can see the health service north and south of the border.

You can't sit there with a straight face and tell me that it's

just as bad in Scotland as it is in England.

Just because people are not rioting in the streets,

that's not a barometer that everything's going well.

We've had stuff out recently, literacy and numeracy

We've got children from poor backgrounds not

Well, actually, the figures are improving for children

from working-class backgrounds getting to university.

Even your education minister has said there has been an issue.

The point is, in Scotland, you have a Scottish Government

that is focused on doing something about those problems.

Admits that they are there, understands why they are there.

Whereas in England, what's the education policy here?

The Tories just want to bring back grammar schools.

Which by definition isn't going to help most people.

Are you guys worried that you're going to lose some seats

I can't believe I'm even saying those words.

We used to talk about there being more giant pandas than Tory MPs.

Scotland had become a Tory free zone.

Truth is, there has always been Scottish Tories

We're seeing them be more confident and turning out in greater

numbers than they've done for some years.

And do you think part of that is down to the fact that

Ruth Davidson, she's quite a big figure, isn't she?

Do you think that has had a big factor in it?

I think she's been very effective at sort of humanising

I like to have a laugh and I can joke about stuff

Having done stand-up gigs for a long time, PMQs has an element

of the late-night show at the Comedy Store when it's

And I do have to say, it strikes fear and terror

into the heart of every politician that has to do it.

And I think there, if you can have a good line

or something funny to use, it can be quite powerful.

The funniest bits are not the scripted one-liners.

The funniest bits are the adlibs or the heckles.

Do you remember there was this terrible thing when David Cameron

was under loads of pressure, it was around the Murdoch

And it turns out he had been horse riding on Rebekah Brooks' horse.

And one of our backbenchers just started going, "Neigh!"

And it was so juvenile, but I'm afraid everyone absolutely

And the Prime Minister just looked ridiculous.

And then there was that thing with the animal's head.

During the Remain campaign for the referendum, we went

on a cross party bus, myself, Harriet Harman,

lots of other people including David Cameron.

And we went to this farm in the South West

And the press team basically said to us beforehand,

don't even think about getting a picture of the Prime

I'll put in the bulk of it which is ironic.

Shall we have a discussion about the Barnett formula now?

We'll put in equal measures and look forward

to an equal partnership between Scotland and

The independence thing does obviously annoy me

because the SNP is obsessed with the independence question.

They are a sort of single issue party.

I feel like we're going round and round and round again.

It's like deja vu, it's like Groundhog Day.

I expect I haven't changed your mind and you haven't changed my mind.

I think Tommy and I could be really good friends but I don't think we've

It's just as well politics isn't the only thing in life, isn't it?

Allen says these election Blind dates have been lol. That was the

last in the election blind date series. Do not worry, you can catch

up on all of our couples on our programme page.

And let us know what you think using the hashtags election blind

And with the news that one of the London attackers

was able to enter the UK, despite being on an EU-wide

watch list - we ask "how safe are our borders?"

Here's Joanna in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news.

It is the final day of campaigning in the general election. The closing

stages of the campaign have been dominated by the issue of security,

following the London Bridge attack. Theresa May has said if the

Conservatives are re-elected she would scrap any Human Rights laws

that prevent her from introducing tougher anti-terror measures. The

former Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg, accused her of trying to make

up for her lacklustre election campaign.

Jeremy Corbyn said the Shadow Home Secretary, Diane Abbott is unwell

and is taking a break from the campaign. He said Diane Abbott who

withdrew from a debate on Woman's Hour had received totally unfair

levels of abuse. The Home Office is coming under

mounting pressure to explain how one of the London Bridge attackers

was able to return to the UK despite The Italian authorities

said they had issued warnings about Yousef Zaghba

after they suspected that he was a supporter

of the Islamic State group who'd In a further development,

detectives have arrested a 30-year-old man on suspicion

of terror offences in Police investigating

the Manchester bombing in which 22 people were killed have

arrested a 38 year-old man at Heathrow Airport

in a planned operation. An inquest into the 22 deaths

at the Manchester Arena Reports from Iran say seven people

have been killed and four have been taken hostage at the country's

parliament in Tehran. An armed man is said to have entered

the building and opened fire, Across the city, at a shrine housing

the tomb of Ayatollah Khomenei founder of the Republic,

a suicide bomber reportedly shot several people before

detonating explosives. President Trump has spoken

to the King of Saudi Arabia to discuss his country's decision

to cut ties with Qatar because of its alleged support

for extremist groups. Mr Trump had earlier backed

the move, saying it could be "the beginning of the end

to the horror of terrorism". A White House spokesman said

the President had stressed the need That's a summary of the latest BBC

News - more at 10am. The British and Irish Lions

are trailing in the second match of their Tour

to New Zealand. They were leading

against the Auckland Blues at half-time thanks

to a try from CJ Stander. As part of the Football

Association's vow to tackle hooliganism, they've handed out

lifetime bans for the first time - two supporters who made Nazi

gestures at the friendly against Germany in Dortmund in March

will never again be allowed Two wins from two took

England's cricketers through to the semi-finals

of the Champions Trophy. They beat New Zealand

by 87 runs in Cardiff and they'll top their group

and knock out Australia, if they beat them at

Edgbaston on Saturday. And there was a dramatic race win

for Sir Ben Ainslie's team in the America's Cup semi-finals

when the New Zealand boat capsized - all the crew members were fine -

and they still lead the British team 3-1, with the first

to five going through. That's all the sport for now. I will

have more at 10am. Thank you very much for letting me

know who you're going to vote for. This viewer says, "I'm switching to

Labour. The Conservatives have failed me in every way." Sheila

says, "I'm voting Conservative." This text from Sam, "I believe that

democracy only votes based on our values. Therefore, I'm voting Lib

Dems even though they are unlikely to make it into Government. They

will never have a chance to lead the country if they don't gain any

momentum." Keep those coming in. If you're undecided, what is it that

you're weighing up? What will it be that finally makes the decision for

you? Let me know. Send me an e-mail. Or you can tweet which is using the

hashtag Victoria Live. Khuram Butt's uncle in Pakistan has

been talking to our correspondent. I condemn first of all this incident

in this brutal action. I am feeling ashamed

talking about this. Innocent people are

killed in this action. I have very deep sympathies

with all the victims, innocent victims, even

I would like to say no religion Khuram Butt was born in Pakistan,

but moved to London as a child. His uncle said on his last trip

in 2013 he noticed he had become more religious,

but not extreme. When he came he started off reading

prayers and he had a beard also. Before that these symptoms,

I did not find in him. He found out about Butt's

involvement on the Butt's mother had seen this photo

on the news and recognised her son. I received a call from the UK,

from my sister's home, and she was weeping and she only

said that something I started to listen

to the BBC and CNN. Sometimes they show a flash of that

person who was stabbing. I also recognised

that this is Khuram. Are you angry with Khuram now?

Do you feel angry towards him? I can't explain in words.

I don't have any words. What message do you have

for the families of the victims? They are on my mind, even I don't

know their names, but I think they are my relatives, my brothers. I

don't know their names, their nationalities and why they were

killed. They came to the city to make their shopping, to make their

dinners. Who allows anyone to hit them and to die them? That's the

uncle of Khuram Butt, one of the London attackers.

Meanwhile it's emerged that the third London terrorist,

Youseff Zaghba, was on an EU-wide watch list after being stopped

It's believed he was travelling to Syria and it's reported he told

officials, he "wanted to be a terrorist".

Somehow despite being on that database, he was

We can talk now to the former head of the UK Borders

I'm really interested on behalf of our audience for you to talk through

what is supposed to happen when an individual is added to this EU-wide

database. First of all, what does that mean? First of all, there isn't

an EU-wide database. There are something like 26 different

databases in the EU. And the UK does have access to some of those. So I'm

waiting to hear precisely what data was shared like everybody else. We

do have a national UK database and that is accessible by a range of

different agencies who can put data directly on to that and that would

enable our officers at the UK border to intervene if they are asked to do

so by an agency. So as we speak we know that this person was put on a

watch-list by the Italians, but we don't know what they mean by the

watch-list and we don't know whether or not that was shared routinely

with us or whether it was passed as an individual risk so there is a lot

of information to come out. I think it would be wrong to jump to any

conclusions. That's fair enough. It was put as I understand it, on

something called the Schengen database. What is that? There is a

Schengen information system. As you know the Schengen group, we are not

part of the Schengen group. That's part of a group of countries that

don't have borders between them and they have to have a central

information system that enables them to share data. There is however the

Schengen INAUDIBLE

Which was agreed in the treaty of Amsterdam which does enable the UK

and other EU countries have access to some components of the Schengen

information system, but I don't know whether in this case that part of

the Schengen system was shared with the UK or not.

Right, OK. From what you're describing then, unless Youssef

Zaghba was on the UK watch-list then he wouldn't necessarily be stopped

at an airport when he arrives here, is that correct? Absolutely. He is a

European citizen as I understand it. I don't know if he travelled on his

European passport or on his identity card, but either way, he benefits

from freedom of movement. He would not have been asked any questions

and there would have been simply a document check either through our

E-gates or by an officer which would be a straightforward watch-list

check. So unless somebody somewhere, from another agency or from you

know, or from the EU had given us the data and uploaded that on to our

watch-list there would have been no grounds for a Border Force officer

to stop him and again, of course, when people put data on our

watch-lists there are different types of codes and some are called

stopping and non stopping codes. That would send a signal to border

officers as to whether or not in the opinion of the person putting the

data on that there was sufficient risk to stop that person then the

Border Force would stop them and refer to whatever agency was the

source. From a lay person's point of view, I'm a member of the public, I

pay my taxes and I travel and I get on planes to places like Italy and

back again, if someone is arrested at an Italian airport, suspected of

travelling to Syria and apparently says to officials, "I want to be a

terrorist." I might have assumed and wrongly as you've pointed out that,

there would be an EU-wide database where this individual's name would

be placed so that were he to arrive at any other airport in the EU, of

which we are still a member, it would flash on a computer screen. Is

that naive of me? Yes. No, that's not an unreasonable assumption for

you to make. We had a conference in London Bridge where we had

representatives from the European Union talking about it. It doesn't

follow that because somebody is detected on outbound and there is a

sufficient reason for that person to be circulated across the EU or

elsewhere. It is really a problem and it was identified in Paris and

Brussels of how the EU deals with this. That's integrated to a single

system and how risks are spread across all of the member states and

it is not just the EU, we have if not more intelligence from the US,

Canada and Australia. Border agencies are always looking to

gather intelligence and data and there has been 5,000 EU passport

holders that we know have been to Syria and come back again, but they

haven't all been arrested and I think this is the problem that we're

facing now is how do we track people like this, who are on the radar, but

the evidence isn't sufficient to enable us to stop them or arrest

them and that's going to all come out in the coming days as the

investigation unfolds. Is the current system working? Well, I can

only speak from my experience. I was the head of the Border Force in the

period around the London 2012 Olympics. I was responsible for the

vetting and checking of many, many people coming to this country at a

time when we were operating an alert level of severe and that worked well

and we were able to mitigate a significant number of threats, but

this is a moving feast and I do hope that the public bear with the

intelligence services and with the Border Force. We are quite good at

this, but there is no such thing I am afraid anywhere in the world such

thing as a perfect border and we will need to learn lessons from

this. Nor a perfect database. Thank you, Tony Smith. Really interesting,

former head of the UK Border Force. And a -- a...

We'll hear more about the 20 year-old woman on trial in America

for allegedly urging her boyfriend to take his own life via text.

So there's just one more day of campaigning

For the last few weeks, we've enlisted the help of Twitter

watchers at the think tank Demos, to mine millions of tweets and tell

Twitter users are a small part of the electorate and this

non-scientific analysis is not about how people are going to vote.

And what they have been talking about.

Today it's all about their patterns of behaviour over the last 6 weeks.

Josh Smith, you've been with us for that time.

Let's go back six weeks. Good morning, yes. A lifetime ago. It has

been a long and short campaign. We have been looking at the discussion

on generic hashtags since the campaign was announced. These are

the terms that the public were using about the election. The blue line

near is the discussion of the Conservatives and Theresa May, the

red line is the discussion of Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party and the

grey line is absolutely everybody else combined. What we see here,

there are two things that stick out. The first thing is doing this kind

of analysis, it lets you see what people are actually concerned with.

Or at least what they are talking about. So we have seen spikes when

the Labour manifesto was launched, and some foreign policy speeches

that Jeremy Corbyn has given. After Manchester, when the campaigning

relaxed, there was a halt in campaigning and we saw a similar

halt on Twitter. At the second thing that is striking about this is this

grey line, which might be expected to uptake as the Labour and

Conservative lines have over the last week, it has remained pretty

constant or even declined as we approach the election. This has been

released pricing. You been looking at what 400 supporters of some of

the parties have been talking about. Absolutely. So what we have tried to

do, let me take you back to the beginning of May, two weeks into the

campaign. Everybody has got over their surprise that the election has

been called at all. And these are words that Labour were using during

that week which are characteristic of that week's discussions. This is

what Labour supporters are talking about six weeks ago was. Yes. We

have removed the words from conservative supporters. This is one

party's view. And you can see there is quite a wide discussion, we're

still talking about fox hunting, education, the media and fraud.

There is one discussion that dominates and this is where Labour

have traditionally felt comfortable, and that is the NHS. Quite a

detailed discussion about health, nurses, hospitals etc. Fast forward

to this week, and this discussion is still focused on the NHS but the

shifting patterns of conversation behind that have changed. So all

parties, supporters from the Conservatives, labour and all the

other parties, we saw them reacting to the events of the last few weeks,

London Bridge and Manchester. Condemning them, expressing horror

and anguish. And again, because this is what Labour is talking about, we

have removed those that were not about this. The way they have talked

about the attack has intended to concentrate on cuts, on decisions

that the Conservatives have made that might have contributed to this

kind of extremism. And what about the 400 Conservative supporters,

what have they been talking about, starting six weeks ago? At the

beginning of May we have a plural discussion with people talking about

Diane Abbott, there is a feeling of confidence after gains in the

mayoral leadership elections, but the main theme tying this discussion

together is the thing which the election was meant to be all about,

and that is Brexit, the European Union, Brussels. That is what the

Conservatives were talking about at the beginning of May. Again, fast

forward to this week and we are living in a different world. Two

things that are interesting, first the Conservatives are discussing

much more this week than before the polling, which shows a narrowing of

the leaves which the Conservatives hold over Labour, and they are using

words like you guv, observation, polling, discussing that, wondering

should they be worried? But the main discussion again has been around

London Bridge, it has been around terrorism and extremism, and instead

of talking about policies that Britain has taken leading up to this

attack, they are talking about the terrorists themselves, the

extremists themselves, and the need for us to do something? Thank you

for your company over the last six weeks. Let me bring you this news.

Norman Smith was reporting earlier from Westminster that Diane Abbott

is not very well, and is going to be replaced in her role as Labour's

home affairs spokesperson. This news just in. Apparently the period of

being replaced is indefinite, according to at Millbank. She is

being replaced and that period of time is indefinite. Still to come on

the programme, vaccinating boys against HPV. We will tell you

exactly what HPV is and we will be hearing from some of those affected

by it. A 20 year old woman in the States

is being accused of using texts to encourage her boyfriend

to kill himself. 20 year old Michelle Carter has gone

on trial in Massachusetts, and is accused of voluntary

manslaughter. In dozens of messages,

Carter is alleged to have repeatedly urged 18 year old Conrad Roy III

to kill himself. On the morning of his death,

she wrote: "You need to do it, Conrad.

You're ready and prepared." NBC Boston reporter John Moroney has

been following the case and he joins us on the phone now from outside

Tauton Juvenile Court Thank you for talking to us, John.

Can you hear me OK? I can, thank you. Tell our British audience what

this trial centres around. The centres around this relationship

between these two young people. This happened three years ago, when

Michelle Carter was 17. Conrad Roy III was 18. They have a relationship

that had developed on social media, in what is really the focus of

prosecutors and also the defence, these text messages that they shared

over a period of time. I want point in time, the prosecution saying

yesterday that she sent him dozens and dozens of messages, 40 in

particular, asking him continually when he was going to do it, when he

was going to take his life, because it was something he had talked about

doing for a while, apparently, and in fact in 2012 he attempted to take

his own life at that point in time but was unsuccessful. But then they

developed a relationship, and Michelle Carter was troubled

herself. This is when the text started. And she encouraged him,

badgering him almost to take his life. That is what the prosecution

is arguing. And what are the prosecution saying was her motive?

They are saying that she was a student at Glenville high school and

was not necessarily that popular but by becoming the grieving girlfriend,

that she would become popular. She did after his death establish and

run benefits to raise money and raise awareness about suicide, not

mentioning or telling anyone that she had had these conversations and

text messages with Conrad, putting his family, after he had died, she

told his mother that she was sorry about what had happened, and that

she had done everything she could to prevent him from taking his own

life. I will read some more of the text messages for our audience. I

already mentioned one in the introduction. You need to do it,

Conrad. Michelle Carter texted him that on the morning of the 12th of

July. The day that he took his own life. You are ready and prepared.

All you have to do is turn the generator on and you will be free

and happy. She told him and another message, you are finally going to be

happy in heaven with no more pain. It is OK to be scared and it is

normal. I mean, you are about to die. Then this: I thought you wanted

to do this. The time is right and you are ready. Just do it, baby.

You have explained it was so she could raise funds and raise

awareness, but is the prosecution also saying it is about her getting

attention? That's correct. She noticed that she

would receive sympathy as a grieving girlfriend and she took it a step

further, by going out and soliciting, raising awareness about

suicide. But it was all motivated by the fact that, according to the

prosecution, she wanted attention. But you read the text messages and

they were read in court yesterday, and they have been out to some

degree but to give them read in court was shocking. Her defence team

yesterday, the day before yesterday, decided that they would not have a

jury trial, that they would only go before a judge who will decide

whether or not she's guilty. And I think a lot of the speck elation is

that because these text messages are so difficult to hear for a jury,

that perhaps they did not want to do that, to have a jury consider it. So

instead they are going to a bench trial where a judge will make the

determination because hopefully the defence feels, he will take the

emotion out of it when a verdict is rendered. The audience will

understandable manslaughter means, we have a charge of manslaughter

when the person did not have any intent. What has Michelle Carter

been charged with? She has been charged with involuntary

manslaughter, which is just a different use of the language. In

terms of involuntary manslaughter, I am not a lawyer myself but it is

somewhat similar. Thank you very much, John. John Maroni, outside the

court in Massachusetts. And we will obviously bring you the defence when

that is a in the court case. Let me reduce the messages from you run the

country. 24 hours ahead of the voting in the general election.

Marilyn has e-mailed to say, I am voting Lib Dem. In a final,

desperate attempt to vent our exit from the EU, which was a decision

based on so much misinformation. And this from Angela. I am undecided, I

want a party that is going to support our police officers and

given the resources they need, and I feel that our laws need changing on

terrorism. The police should be able to arrest people on their radar and

extremists to make it a safer world. Thank you for those. Particularly if

you are undecided, we're very interested to hear what it is that

you are weighing up, 24 hours before the polls open. You can message us

on Twitter, or on Facebook. The latest news and sport is on the way

at ten o'clock but before that, the weather, with Matt Taylor. And it is

called. It certainly has been. And a bit

stormy. The wind is particularly strong, unseasonably so for June.

The best of the gusts on the Aberdeenshire coast. With the trees

in full leaf, and has led to seems like this one, captured in Somerset.

It was not just about the cold and the wind yesterday. It was also

about the rain. Edinburgh, for instance, had well over a month's

worth following just a day and a half. 83 millimetres in total. It

has stopped raining here now at least but as our weather watchers

have shown us, it is still raining across parts of eastern Scotland.

This was Aberdeenshire a short while ago. But it is now in the minority

because more blue skies are overhead. A better start of the day

for the vast majority, probably the best day of the week for many. If

you look across the satellite picture, we can see clear skies.

Cloud in eastern Scotland producing heavy rain and gusty wind still

around. But the wind will ease, and the rain is pushing away. At the

same time, it is clouding over. Towards the end of the afternoon we

will see better conditions across eastern Scotland. It could be still

cloudy, damp and windy across Orkney, Shetland and Caithness.

Elsewhere, dry with sunny spells. The morning sunshine will give way

to more cloud in Northern Ireland, staying dry until late in the day.

Across much of England and Wales, it will be a sunny afternoon. The

sunshine turning hazy, but temperatures up on yesterday's

values. South West Wales, Devon and Cornwall, finishing the afternoon

with outbreaks of rain. Through tonight, the rain spreading

erratically. Heaviest and most persistent on the hills. A bit of

rain for Northern Ireland and southern Scotland but it will be dry

for much of Scotland and Northern Ireland. With clear skies, a chilly

night. Elsewhere, it should be a mild start.

Sorry about that Matt. A lot more rain and then it will be sunny.

Thank you very much. It's 10am.

I'm Victoria Derbyshire. Less than 24 hours until you get to

vote in Tom's UK general election. We will bring you reports from

contenders for this tournament we need to beat the best teams and

Australia are one of the best teams. They always are going into a white

go into a game like that with no other attitude than winning is very

important to us. The Football Association

know, it's clear they had a misjudgement on the daggerboard and

lifted it out of the water too much and ran into an aggressive pitch. I

don't think anyone is passing criticism because the boats are so

tough to sail and it could happen to anyone. The most important thing is

the crew is safe and they will come back and the fight continues.

The Renault Formula One team have revealed that Robert Kubica has

sign for one of the most popular drivers around.

That's all the sport for now. We will be back with an update on the

Lions at 10.30am. Over the course of the election I've

been giving politicians from some of the main parties lifts

between their campaign meetings. It has been quite a responsibility,

honestly! The fourth and final passenger

in our Vic's Van Share series is the man who hopes to run the NHS

in England and Wales Speaking last week, before

the London Bridge attack, Labour's Jon Ashworth told me

about the stand-up row he had with Jeremy Corbyn,

losing his dad to alcoholism and confirmed Labour

would lift the freeze on some benefits despite this not

being in their manifesto. He also failed to rule out

throwing his hat in the ring to lead his party one day,

but will his singing help I just want to sing songs

and pretend to be Peter Kay. That's the only reason

I've agreed to do it. Don't do the boring

policy questions. So, the IFS, the Institute

for Fiscal Studies, independent, respected, as you know,

have said that if you, if Labour win the election then

the poorest 30% of households will suffer a significant hit

in their income because you are not promising to reverse some

of the cuts to benefits If you're going to be building more

houses which is what we want to do, if you're going to be investing

in wages, giving people a pay increase by increasing the minimum

wage to ?10 an hour, obviously that will lift some people

out of benefits, but it will mean more money coming

into the Exchequer. But are you going to reverse

the cuts to child tax credits? Well, we've opposed the cuts

to child tax credits. Are you going to reverse them

if you win the election? We cannot say we're going to reverse

every single cut that's taken So you're not going to reverse

the cuts to child tax credits? Are you going to lift the freeze

on working age benefits? Look, benefits won't need to be

frozen under a Labour government because we're going to put

the money into... We're going to lift the freeze

on some of the benefits, yes. That's why we've allocated

this extra ?2 billion. You might well borrow

?250 billion over ten years to invest in infrastructure,

in roads and new hospitals and in infrastructure,

in big building projects. How much will the economy grow

if you spend, if you borrowed ?250 billion and spent

it on infrastructure? Well, the IFS, funnily enough,

have said we would grow the economy by a percentage higher

than what the Conservatives Although I don't have that

particular figure in front of me. But they certainly were saying

we would grow the economy more. When borrowing rates are so low,

I think you can invest in the infrastructure

of the country, you can invest in schools and hospitals

and road-building and extending Our levels of investment

in infrastructure are terrible. When compared Europe

and other countries. People are worried about adding

to the debt pile, though. The nation's debt pile.

?250 billion would add to it. If you can do it, in a way

by which by the end of the period you've got debts as a proportion

of GDP coming down, it seems to me sensible to be investing

in the infrastructure. Do you know how many council homes

the last Labour government built? I've not got that figure

on me at the moment. It's about 7,800 under

the last Labour government. Margaret Thatcher's government built

around 17,000 in one year. Are you shocked that her government

built more council homes in one year than under the entire period

of office that New Labour was in? No, I'm not shocked,

because when we came into government in 97,

the housing stock in this country was in such a state

that the priority for the first period of the government

was to invest in upgrading Me and my wife have a mortgage

on our house in Leicester. Yes, but we're paying

a mortgage on it. Why are you planning

to spend ?56 billion on the university tuition

fees of students and ?37 billion We just don't think it's fair that

students are racking up Even the sons and daughters of chief

executives, bankers, property millionaires,

you want to pay their university tuition fees,

when they can afford it? A highly educated population

contributes to the good I was lucky enough to go

to university before we had fees. I just don't know what I would have

done if I'd come out with all those debts

which young people come out You've said you will give NHS staff

a pay rise, how much, A percentage rise is

about half a billion, 2% rise is about ?1 billion,

so we think it's affordable. Is that cost part of your ?37

billion going into the NHS? That is part of the money

going into the NHS, yes, but we think it's deliverable,

based on the calculations OK, two years ago you failed to vote

against the Government's Welfare Bill, and that was the bill that cut

the benefit cap from 26,000 to 23,000, that abolished

legally-binding child-poverty targets, that cut housing

benefit to the young. That was the position

of the Labour Party. You cannot have a principled

opposition if you are I followed the position of the front

bench because I'm a loyal I'm a Labour MP who gets

on and supports the Labour Party. The position of the Labour Party

front bench was to support an amendment which said,

"We reject this bill." Well, I suspect the position

would be different this time, so we would not vote the same

way this time. How do you think the campaign

is going for Labour at this point? I think the Conservatives thought

they could take people for granted, that they could glide through this

election with trite slogans, and there is a feeling

they have been trying to take When you are driving

around, campaigning, in your car with your team,

what do you sing? It's really funny -

I go out campaigning, like the North-East or wherever,

and you often get picked up by a Labour Party volunteer

and they want to talk about policy, but I like to plug in my iPhone

and sing along to cheesy music and think I am Peter

Kaye in Car Share. # Whatever it takes

is what I'm going to do. # And we can build

this thing together. # When this world runs out of

lovers # Nothing's gonna stop us,

nothing's gonna stop us now. Nothing's gonna stop you,

except potentially Theresa May? I think I have just ended my career

by singing that in such a daft way, but anyway, you've got to have a bit

of fun in an election campaign. Does that represent

how you are feeling, "Nothing's gonna stop us,

not even the Conservatives I don't know, it's

just a bit of fun. We've got to stop

Theresa May, I think Jeremy Corbyn would be

a better Prime Minister? Hang on a minute,

I have just asked you. Jeremy Corbyn is

principled and honest. Would Jeremy Corbyn be

a better Prime Minister? You have spent your whole

adult life in politics, you started off as a researcher -

what were you next? Then a deputy political secretary,

then a political secretary, then head of campaigns,

then a candidate, then an MP. You've never had a proper

job in the real world? People who work in

politics, they are jobs. We still have to pay the mortgage,

I still have to get the kids from school and get them

breakfast in the morning. I'm from a very normal

working-class background, my mum was a barmaid,

my dad was a croupier in a casino. A lot of my life I spent

looking after a father, Weekends, as a teenager I would go

back to stay with my dad, I would open the fridge

and it was just big bottles of white wine

and cans of beer, no food. I would have to go

and sort it out myself. I went home one Christmas

and my dad said, "I'm off, He literally just went off

to Thailand, I didn't see him again. I got the call two years later,

saying that he was dead. And it was drink, he had been

drinking a bottle of whiskey a day. So you're right, I have been

a special adviser and researcher and all the rest of it,

but I have had some Do you want to have a crack

at the leadership one day? We've got a leader

of the Labour Party. Do you want to have a

crack at it one day? There are loads of Labour MPs who

would fancy their chances one day. It is my dream job, every day I feel

honoured that I got it, and I am hoping the people

in my constituency re-elect me, but all of the other jobs

in politics, I'll have to see You are in politics to make

a difference, to change You will think, "What a cliche," but

actually that is what motivates me. If that means I'm a Health

Secretary, Shadow Health Secretary, or a different role,

we'll see where it goes. Yeah, I know politicians are now

meant to say yes, make it look like they had an interesting

life, but I didn't. Sorry, I know I will get

the Corbynistas tweeting me, having a right go at me,

but Gordon gave me a job. He gave me a job when I was a young

man, he gave me an opportunity, I'll always have

a loyalty to Gordon. Finish the line of this song,

"I'm in love with the shape of you." It is going to be

really obvious now? The biggest-selling track of this

year, 18 weeks at number one. "I'm in love with the shape of you,

push and pull like a magnet do." "Although my heart is falling too,

I'm in love with the shape of you." "I was working as a waitress

in a cocktail bar." # I was working as a waitress

in a cocktail bar when I met you. Oh, no, it's one of those questions

where you catch us out. Everybody is saying,

Shadow Health Secretary, They are all going to be

tweeting about it now. How many times have Leicester City

been finalists in the FA Cup? Name me a band that

you love from the 1980s. I love singing along

to cheesy songs from the 80s, like Together In Electric Dreams,

or a bit of Madonna. Do you know the words

to Like A Virgin? Last time you had an argument

with Jeremy Corbyn? Probably when he took me off

the National Executive Committee. Was it just you and him

shouting at each other? We had words, let's

put it like that. To be blunt, on some

of the votes I voted the way I'm sure victor Dharmesh said that

John Ashworth could sing. She lied! -- Victoria Derbyshire said.

So today is the final day of political campaigning

before you cast your votes in the General Election tomorrow.

Here's a look back at the past 7 weeks of campaigning.

I have just chaired a meeting of the cabinet where we agreed

that the Government should call a general election.

Oh, for God's sake, honestly, I can't stand this.

There's too much politics going on at the moment.

Since I became Prime Minister I have said there should be no

But now I have concluded that the only way to guarantee

certainty and stability for the years ahead is to hold this

election and seek your support for the decisions I must take.

I welcome the opportunity for us to put the case to the people

of Britain to stand up against the Government

and its failed economic agenda, which has left our NHS in problems,

our schools underfunded, so many people uncertain.

It is very clear that the Prime Minister's announcement is one

all about the narrow interests of her own party, not the interests

We want to put a case out there to the people of Britain

of a society that cares for all, an economy that works for all,

It is an opportunity for the people of this country to change

the direction of this country, to decide that they do not want

a hard Brexit, or to keep Britain in the single market,

and indeed an opportunity for us to have a decent,

strong opposition in this country that we desperately need.

With the right Brexit deal secured, my mainstream Government

Now more than ever, Scotland needs strong SNP voices at Westminster.

There is no extra payment you don't want to add to,

no tax you don't want to rise, but we have to concentrate our

resources on the people who need it most.

We want to see corporation tax reduced, not raised,

because if you raise it, companies will leave this country.

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

Our schools are underfunded, our hospitals are overcrowded,

our students are saddled with debt, there is a growing housing crisis.

People on the lowest incomes have been hit by welfare cuts.

We will always provide that safety net where it is needed.

I will give you the figure in a moment.

You've announced a major policy and you don't know

Can I give you the exact figure in a moment?

Why should the public trust anything you say or any of your policies

when you have a track record of broken promises and backtracking?

Why have you never regarded the IRA as terrorists?

My wage slips from 2009 reflect exactly what I am earning today.

How can that be fair in light of the job that we do?

We have had to take some hard choices across the public

sector in relation to public-sector pay restraint.

But there isn't a magic money tree we can shake that suddenly provides

Is Labour's manifesto a realistic wish list or is it just

I think it is a serious and realistic document that

addresses the issues that many people in this country face.

We have been brave enough to put it out there with all

I think you're losing a lot of votes from SNP supporters by continuing

with the independence referendum at this time.

I am not proposing it now, I accept that point.

My simple proposition, it should be our choice, when the time is right

and we know what breaks it means for our country, to decide what the

future of Scotland should be. So what are the Conservatives,

Labour and the other main parties doing today to win all those

last minute votes? First to Chris Mason

who is with the Jeremy Corbyn Good morning Victoria. The marathon

is on when all the party leaders dash around all corners of the

country to try and convince us that they're hard enough and they're go

to woo and cajole every person who may not have made up their mind.

Jeremy Corbyn started in Glasgow. He will roll up here in Runcorn in over

an hour's time. Some Labour activists are gathering. The focus

of his speech here will be the NHS. The big challenge for Jeremy Corbyn

is trying to turn the depth of the support that we have seen a lot of

his rallies in recent days, quite a few people already and plenty more

likely to arrive in the next hour or hour and 20 minutes into the breadth

you need to become Prime Minister. You become Prime Minister not by

having a few million people who adore you, you need on top of that

plenty who are happy to vote for you and to put up with you as Prime

Minister. The challenge for Jeremy Corbyn is trying to spread out that

support. But they are buoyed up and they are positive Labour. They feel

like they have had a good last couple of weeks. Jeremy Corbyn likes

it and enjoys it out on the stump. He is off to North Wales after he

has been here. Then he heads to Watford and then he ends up in

Islington, his home patch in North London. So, plenty of miles to go!

Cheers, Chris, thank you very much. Sima Kotecha is with

Tim Farron and the Liberal Tim Farron has just pulled this

pint. This constituency voted Tory in 2005. It was a Tory seat until

2015. And now the Lib Dems are hoping that they can win it because

overwhelmingly it voted to Remain in the EU referendum. So as I said, he

has been pulling pints and talking to businesses about the detrimental

effects he says Brexit will have on businesses here and around the

country. Now, remember at the front and centre of the manifesto has been

a pledge if they were to win on Friday that they would have another

referendum, where they would offer the people a chance to have a say on

that crucial deal between Brussels and the Government. That has been

the core of their message. They have also announced other eye-catching

policies along the way including legalising cannabis and allowing

tens of thousands of Syrian refugees to come in the country if they are

successful. However, as I said, they've dubbed themselves as the

anti-Brexit party from day one on this campaign. However, there has

been a mixed reaction on the doorstep. Some people saying they

feel irritated and frustrated that they're banging on about something

they say that happened a year ago. But there are those who say well,

hang on a mind the Government need to be held to account and they say

the Liberal Democrats are the party to do that. We'll find out if that

message has been successful on Friday.

And Ben Wright is with Theresa May's campaign.

There are red and blue bowling balls being rolled along this green in

Southampton. Theresa May is here in Hampshire. The first stop of her

final day of campaigning. We're in the constituency of Southampton

Test. It has a Labour majority of just under 4,000. It is interesting

she is here. Clearly, it is a seat she feels the Tories might be able

to take. It's the start of a day where Theresa May will be

criss-crossing England. Hampshire to begin with and then East Anglia and

we rumble through to the Midlands and a rally this evening where this

campaign will finish and I imagine we'll hear familiar themes all day

about Brexit beginning soon after this election wraps up and the need

for somebody to is serious about delivering it to be in charge of the

negotiations. She will be framing the whole of today about a choice

between herself and Jeremy Corbyn. The questions of security are going

to feature. The announcement last night that she made that she maybe

prepared to re-open, pick apart and look at Human Rights law if it helps

to tackle extremism has clearly caused political controversy.

Labour, the Lib Dems have criticised her approach on that, so that could

be the issue we talk about during this final day of general election

campaigning. And finally our political

guru Norman Smith is in Westminster and

more on the news that Dianne Abbott has stepped back

from the campaign due to ill health. It seems that Diane Abbott is not at

all well. We have had a statement from the Labour Party saying she is

going to be replaced for the foreseeable as Shadow Home Secretary

by Lynn Brown. Some folks saying she will be out of action indefinitely.

We don't know what's wrong with her. But obviously, it looks a little

more serious than a dickie heart or a migraine. Emily Thornbury was in

here a short time ago saying how strong Diane Abbott was and she

suggested some people should be ashamed of themselves for suggesting

that you know she had been pulled back because Labour people didn't

have confidence in her. Now, we don't know what's wrong with her,

but clearly, she is not at all well. OK. So the last day of campaigning

and for a final time let's look at the moments through the campaign.

We need a general election and we need one now. To every city, every

village, every town. We state a clear intention. B-the future of

this country. The big question here is simply this. At what point... Are

voters... Getting tired of politicians. Let me finish if you

don't mind. So Norman take us through some of

your picks of the campaign. So, I guess one of the things in an

election campaign is it's a moment to get to know the political

leadersment you get a sense of their character and what they are about

and what sort of person, but Theresa May, any time anyone tried to get a

sense of her likes and dislikes, they have been biffed away. Theresa

May will not give us anything about the sort of person she is. You

remember, she did that sort of quick fire interview when she was asked,

you know, do you prefer broad church or Line of Duty. She was asked do

you like Indian or Chinese take-aways. She said she didn't do

take aways and she was asked if she preferred whisky or wine? She didn't

answer. A journalist on ITV had one last effort in the dying days of the

campaign to try and crowbar out a little more sell of personal

information about Theresa May! What's the naughtiest thing you ever

did? Oh goodness me, well, I suppose, gosh, do you know, I'm not

quite sure. There must have been a moment? Nobody is ever perfectly

behaved, are they? I have to confess when me and my friends used to run

through the fields of wheat, the farmers weren't too pleased about

that. Evil. Evil. How has Theresa May managed to live with that all

her life. If I was a farmer, I would be on the blower, I would say, "It

was that Theresa from the vicarage, she was running through the fields

of corn. What are you going to do about it?" What about Jeremy Corbyn?

If you're going to launch a policy, the basic rule is get your facts

sorted out and above all, know how much it's going to cost. Second, tip

to politicians, if you're going a radio interview, don't think no one

can see you. We have cameras in the studio. We can see you tapping away

on your iPad trying to get the answers! Look at Jeremy Corbyn! How

much will it cost to provide unmeans-tested childcare for 1.3

million children? Maria Miller, it will cost Maria Miller, it will

obviously cost a a lot to do so. I presume you have the figures. I will

give you the figure in a moment. You don't know it. You're logging into

your iPad here. You've announced a Mabelingor policy and you don't know

how much it'll cost. What a nightmare! Last off, Nicola

Sturgeon, the SNP have been quite good at arranging lots and lots of

events to get Scotland's First Minister out and about. But, some of

these photo opportunities have become sort of photo opportunities

from hell and you can see Nicola Sturgeon just thinking, "What am I

doing here?" Like aerobics. You can see her

thinking, "Who on earth decided on this?" She hasn't got her high

heels. Ice creams, be careful of ice creams. This one is melting quickly.

It's going to dribble all over the place! And what on earth is that? I

mean, I'm not a great cook, but honestly, that does not look that

appetising. It's a meat pie, ain't it? Everyone knows it's a meat pie.

I'm not feeling enthusiastic about that meat pie. It's not exactly

making me hungry. Maybe Jon Ashworth should have been crowbared with the

disco dancing in the van. That was very good. I liked that. He loved

it. He loved it. I don't know what that says. What does it say if a

politician really wants to sing and if a politician doesn't want to

sing? Let's not answer that. Let's leave it hanging there. Thank you

very much, Norman. Our election programme on the BBC tomorrow night

with David Dimbleby and Emily Maitlis, with all the people you'd

expect throughout the night on the BBC bringing you the results.

We'll be asking why hundreds of thousands of teenage boys

are being denied a potentially life saving vaccine which is routinely

And as the battle for Raqqa - the headquarters of so-called

Islamic State in Iraq - rages, we'll hear from

an organisation helping those who've escaped the city.

Almost 400,000 teenage boys a year are currently denied a vaccine that

The Human Papilloma Virus, or HPV, jab is only offered to teenage girls

in the UK to protect against cervial cancer.

The virus which is transmitted through sexual

contact leads to lots of different types of infection and in some

In the UK, girls aged 12 to 13 have been vaccinated

So why are boys not getting the same treatment?

Steve Bergman was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2015 through

Jill De Nardo was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2009.

She has a daughter who received the vaccine

Tristan Almada is the founder of the HPV and Anal Cancer Foundation.

Welcome all of you. Thank you for coming on the programme. Explain

what the Human Papilloma Virus is. It's a virus that everyone comes

into contact with at some point in their life. We think that 80% of

sexually active people will test positive at some point for HPV. It

causes 5% of all cancers and some of the fast increasing cancers in the

UK today for example throat cancer are caused by this virus. We don't

know why some people who get diagnosed with HPV such as my

mother, progressed to cancer and end up passing away. We don't know why

others resolve the virus on their own. OK, but you said it was

ubiquitous so we all have it. We have the propensity to have it? If

you have had sex once, you have come into contact with HPV, you have it,

I have it, Joe has it. It is unavoidable. You can pass it through

passionate kissing or through any means of contact. OK. You mentioned

your personal experience. Tell us a little more about that if that's OK?

In 2010 my mother passed by away from stage four APV related cancer.

She invested every ounce of loving energy into the upbringing of my

sisters and myself and when she passed away, my sisters and I

thought well, is there something that we can do to prevent the

devastation that happened to our family from happening to anyone ever

again? Watching someone deteriorate in your hands, the most important

person in your life and it's not just the side-effects from the

chemotherapy that cause your hands to feel numb so for the case of my

mother, she had this dream to be a landscape architect and she used to

work in public relations and she don't draft because her hands were

so numb. But in addition to the emotional anxiety and the stigma

associated with HPV because people don't understand what it is, so she

couldn't relate her diagnosis to her friends and family because she was

afraid of what they might say. HPV, how do you get that, anal cancer,

how do you get that? The only thing that made her at risk was that she

was a human being. Jill, you were diagnosed with anal cancer in 2009.

Can you relate to what tris tran is saying about the stigma?

Diagnosed at the same age. I did not really tell anybody that it was anal

cancer at the time, I said it was bowel cancer but the more I

realised, the more I thought about it, the less I would be aware. It

was Tristan's family that made me aware of the HPV connection with the

cancer. That is when I start to get very angry. The fact that it was not

known to many people. My daughter was potentially protected against

it, but my sons were not. And we are awaiting a decision as to whether

teenage boys will be routinely vaccinated. What is the argument for

only vaccinating teenage girls? I do not think there can be an argument.

Look at this picture here. These are my three children. They all went

through routine vaccinations, they went through the normal inoculations

that children have. Why would any parents choose to discriminate

against one child, in favour of the other two? My sons are too old for

the vaccination to be properly protected, but if they had had the

vaccination at the same age as my daughter, they would be protected.

It is not good enough to say that they heard situation, where 85% of

the girls are protected... If my son is having relationships with older

people or girls from countries that have not been vaccinated, they are

at just as much risk. Let me bring in Steve, who was diagnosed with
