The Shadow Brexit Secretary laid out his party's pledges if it wins the | :00:10. | :00:15. | |

On day one of a Labour Government we'd immediately guarantee all EU | :00:22. | :00:31. | |

Good afternoon, and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
Labour says it will guarantee the rights of EU nationals | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
living in the UK after Brexit, if it wins the general election. | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
Setting out Labour's proposals for negotiating Britain's exit from the | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
European Union, the Shadow Brexit Secretary Sir Keir Starmer, | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
said Labour would also prioritise jobs. | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
He said he accepted that free movement of workers couldn't | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
continue after Brexit - but suggested EU nationals | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
could still come to the UK if they have a guaranteed job offer. | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
Our political correspondent, Alex Forsyth reports. | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
On an issue so key, Labour has struggled to make its message clear. | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
Today, it set out its vision for Brexit and promised it was different | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
to the Prime Minister's. We do not accept that Brexit has to mean | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
whatever Theresa May says it means. We do not accept that there has to | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
be a reckless Tory Brexit. Specifically, the party said a | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
Labour Government would guarantee the rights of EU citizens living in | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
the UK. It would Liberal Democrat slate to keep things like employment | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
rights and protections for consumers and the environment. And it would | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
scrap the current negotiating strategy and instead focus on | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
retaining the benefits of the single market and the customs union. The | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
party said its focus would be on protecting jobs and the economy. | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
Immigration should not be 9 only red line or overaveraging priority. | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
Freedom of movement has to go. It will have to change. But we must | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
have immigration that works for our communities and our economy. That | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
means there has to be movement of people to come and work in this | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
country. How that's managed will have to be resolved. The last thing | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
we want is for our businesses to go bankrupt. Labour says the current | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
membership of the single market which comes with the condition of | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
free movement of people must end but suggests there could be a reformed | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
membership of that and the customs Euanen says the Tories were wrong to | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
rule out options so early in the negotiations. But the Conservatives | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
appear unconcerned saying their rivals' Brexit message is still | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
confused, chaotic and on trade, indistinct from theirs. We want to | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
get access to the rest of the world's markets but maintain as much | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
as possible, passably all, of the current markets we have. They are | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
trying to rebrand our argument of the last nine months. Theresa May | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
continues to campaign in Labour seats. Later today in Wales. | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
Confident her message, a clear commitment to Brexit and strong | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
leadership, can win over Brexiteers and Labour voters. | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
Our Assistant Political Editor Norman Smith is in Westminster. | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
There's some striking comments from Keir Starmer, Norman. Is this a much | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
clearer idea for everyone for what Labour sees here post-Brexit? We got | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
some clarity on Brexit. There are still a lot of awkward questions for | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
Labour's political opponents to pick away at. We've clarity in so far as | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
Labour say they accept we are leaving the EU. There's no going | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
back. There's not going to be a second referendum. But there's much | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
less clarity on key issues such as freedom of moment. Keir Starmer said | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
they'd end it but not for those EU migrants coming here who have a job | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
lined up or students coming here to university or college. Similarly on | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
the timetable, sir Keir Starmer said Labour would avoid a cliff edge | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
departure from the EU by putting in transitional arrangements. That | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
might mean don't leave until 2022, perhaps much later than many people | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
expected. He suggested Parliament could block any final Brexit deal | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
leaving open the question, what happens if Parliament keeps on | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
voting down that final deal? But, in a way, those questions are not | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
Labour's real difficulty. The real difficulty is it is extraordinarily | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
late in the day to be trying to clarify your position on Brexit just | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
weeks away from a general election when the referendum happened a year | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
ago and when Theresa May's putting forward a very simple line on | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
Brexit. No to the single market, no to free movement of people. No to | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
the European Court of Justice. But Labour know they have to try to draw | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
a line on Brexit. To clear the decks of Brexit so it is no longer a | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
critical issue. If they can't, it will be very hard to get a hearing | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
on other policies they want to focus this election on. Thank you. Theresa | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
May is on the campaign trail in Wales as she tries to take territory | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
off Labour. Let's talk to our Political Correspondent Vicki Young. | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
What do we read into Theresa May choosing to visit South Wales? I | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
think she's sending out the signal clearly there are no no-go areas for | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
the Tories. While coming to Labour Heartlands in the South of Wales. | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
The Tories are confident, partly because of Brexit. She says she | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
wants a strong mandate to make sure Brexit happens and Wales is a | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
country that voted to Leave. There is a sizeable Ukip vote here in | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
Wales. They polled around 15%-15% last time round. They are hoping to | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
bring across many of those people. It will be interesting to see | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
whether Theresa May broadens her argument to talk about social | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
mobility, to talk about helping people on lower incomes. Her message | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
here today is that Labour has taken voters in Wales for granted. She | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
says they haven't delivered when it comes to schools and hospitals. | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
She's urging people here to turn their back on tribal politics. Time | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
to look for fresh ideas is what she's going to say. We'll see how | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
that goes down here. If the Tories were to win the most seats here in | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
Wales, more than Labour, it would be the first time since the 1850s. | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
She's aiming very high. The leader of the Labour here in Wales, car | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
when Jones, admits the party has a mountain to climb but they feel | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
confident that tradition of voting Labour will help them in this | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
contest. Plaid Cymru launched its general | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
election campaign in Bangor today. Its leader, Leanne Wood, said her | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
priority was to protect the nation The party currently holds three of | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
the 40 Westminster seats in Wales. In her launch speed, she said the | :08:50. | :09:05. | |
snap election hasn't taken her party by surprise. | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
And while there's talk of polls and voting intentions, | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
it's the local elections on May 4th that will be the real poll. | :09:15. | :09:23. | |
And you keep up to date on the latest on the election campaign | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
The French presidential candidate, Marine Le Pen, has temporarily stood | :09:29. | :09:44. | |
down as leader of the far-right National Front to try to broaden her | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
support in the run up to the final round of voting on May 7th. | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
She told French television that she needs to be above party politics. | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
This morning, Ms Le Pen and her rival Emmanuel Macron attended a | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
the police officer shot dead on the Champs Elysees last week. | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
They were just faces among many others, because this was not | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen were there as national figures | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
to take part in the nation's tribute to police officer Xavier Jugele. | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
After the coffin was brought into the courtyard of police | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
headquarters, it was the officer's civil partner, Etienne | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
TRANSLATION: When the news came out that something serious had happened | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
on the Champs-Elysees, and that a police officer | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
had lost their life, a little voice told me it was you. | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
And it reminded me of that wise quote, you will not have my hate. | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
For President Hollande, this is not his first ceremony | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
to remember police officers killed by terrorism. | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
The level of violence which police and gendarme had | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
to face kept getting worse, he said. | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
In Xavier Jugele, France had lost one of the bravest | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
This morning's ceremony for Xavier Jugele and this | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
small makeshift memorial on the Champs-Elysees on the spot | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
where he died are a reminder of how terrorism and security are a central | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
Marine Le Pen in particular is telling the country that | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
with her tougher line on deportations, and sentencing, | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
on immigration, that attacks like this would be much harder | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
She's the outsider in the race, so Marine Le Pen is coming out | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
fighting, accusing Emmanuel Macron of not having the guts | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
I'm no longer president of the front national. I'm the candidate for the | :11:38. | :11:57. | |
presidency. I want to be the vision of hope, | :11:58. | :11:58. | |
Emmanuel Macron is biding his time, but he knows that he can't | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
leave his rival to make the running alone on so vital an issue | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
Sir Elton John has cancelled a series of shows in the US | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
after falling ill with what's been described as a potentially deadly | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
The singer, who's 70, spent two nights in intensive care | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
after contracting the illness while on tour in Chile earlier this month. | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
His management team says he is now recovering at home. | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
Our entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba reports. | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
The 70-year-old is one of music's hardest-working acts, | :12:31. | :12:31. | |
touring all over the world, and still giving energetic | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
performances at what for many would be retirement age. | :12:35. | :12:43. | |
During the recent series of concerts in South America, | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
he contracted what his medical team has called a potentially deadly | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
bacterial infection, becoming ill on his way back | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
In a statement, Sir Elton's management said... | :12:56. | :13:20. | |
The illness has meant that Sir Elton has had to cancel planned concerts | :13:21. | :13:39. | |
in April and May in California and Las Vegas. | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
He is expected to return to the concert stage in June in London. | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
Tensions have increased on the Korean peninsula, as the North | :13:49. | :13:57. | |
carried out a massive artillery exercise to mark the anniversary | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
In the South, a US submarine has docked, | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
adding to the build-up of forces there. | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
Envoys from South Korea, the US and Japan are holding talks in Tokyo. | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
Our correspondent Wyre Davies has the latest. | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
An American nuclear powered submarine glides quietly into the | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
As tensions rise in the Korean peninsular, it is being joined by a | :14:22. | :14:39. | |
much larger group of warships. Led by an aircraft carrier. It is the | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
latest in a series of developments that shows how seriously Washington | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
is taking North Korea's expanding nuclear programme. This is Donald | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
Trump's toughest foreign policy challenge by far. His predecessors | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
strategic patience with Pyongyang is over. Donald Trump is demanding | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
tough action or house. The council must be prepared to impose | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
additional sanctions on North Korean nuclear and ballistic missile | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
programmes. This is a real threat to the world, whether we want to talk | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
about it or not. He has also summoned all 100 members of the | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
Senate for a special White House briefing on Korea. What comes next? | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
As it marks the 85th anniversary of the founding of its army, the North | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
Korean regime has reacted with fury as words, if not yet actions to be | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
US's naval manoeuvres and a special Security Council meeting on the | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
region. The Foreign Ministry's response was almost bloodcurdling. | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
Now the US has pulled out its sword to kill us, we will pull up our | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
grand sword of justice and killed the US imperialists with our strong | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
and Revolutionary Guard. Our nuclear forces stand at the core. -- | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
Revolutionary Guard power. The rhetoric is alarming. Observers in | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
the South say no unusual developments have been detected. | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
China, the North's only major ally, has urged the US not to act without | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
UN approval and called on both sides to show restraint. Trying to | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
second-guess two very different but unpredictable leaders in Kim Jong-un | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
and Donald Trump is not proving easy. | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
The founder of Wikipedia is launching an online news service | :16:38. | :16:39. | |
Jimmy Wales says that Wikitribune will use both professional | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
journalists and what he's described as community contributors | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
but will accept donations from supporters. | :16:48. | :16:55. | |
Whether deliberate distortions dressed up as real news | :16:56. | :17:04. | |
or clandestine political advertising that targets you on social media, | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
voters in America, Germany and France have been hit. | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
The question now is - could this new form of campaigning | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
online be coming to Britain ahead of the general election? | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
If political messages are broadcast during an election campaign, | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
But what about messages that are published online? | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
They said to try the Electoral Commission. | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
They said, "That certainly would not be us." | :17:30. | :17:40. | |
I rang the Advertising Standards Agency and Ofcom too. | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
They both said it falls outside of their remit. | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
The question remains - who polices this stuff? | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
Wikitribune is a new site with a new model for the news... | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
Wikitribune will ask for monthly subscriptions from a community | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
of users who help to verify and shape online news themselves. | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
It was launched this morning by the founder | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
He argues that we need a sharp press at all layers of society. | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
The rise of hateful politics, I think, is a direct result of this | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
lack of quality in terms of giving people facts. | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
If big internet companies won't take responsibility for what appears | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
on their platforms and regulation has not kept pace with technology, | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
it may fall to us to police fake news ourselves. | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
Labour says EU citizens could still come to Britain after Brexit | :18:29. | :18:41. | |
Training the brain. Can exercise help people over the age of 50 keep | :18:42. | :18:53. | |
their minds in good working order? The quarterfinals | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
of the World Snooker Championship are under way | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
as five-time champion Ronnie O'Sullivan recovers | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
from three frames down. It's nearly 30 years | :19:05. | :19:14. | |
since Tracy Edwards and her crew made history by becoming the first | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
all-female team to complete The 12-strong crew crossed | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
the world's oceans in a yacht called Maiden, | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
but after the race, the boat was sold and ultimately | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
abandoned overseas - After nine months at sea, Tracy | :19:30. | :19:47. | |
Edwards leads the crew back home and into the record books. The first all | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
field team in the Whitbread Round the World Race and finished second | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
overall -- all female. 27 years on, Tracy and many of the original crew | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
are back, reunited with the yacht, Maiden. Why? I heard she was | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
abandoned in the Seychelles about four years ago. It was at a time in | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
my life I was looking for something to do, I thought, this beautiful | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
boat that did so much and so famous, it cannot rot away. We started | :20:19. | :20:28. | |
fundraising, we did crowd funding. We are going to do a three-year | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
world tour promoting the rights of girls to have an education. Back in | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
British waters today after being rescued from the Seychelles, she is | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
a long way from being seaworthy. Down below deck, this would have | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
been home for the 12 woman crew on the nine-month voyage around the | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
world. As you can tell, it has not fared so well over the past 27 | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
years. These are some of the old sales. There are problems at the | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
front of the boat. Even a hole in the hull. There is work to be done | :21:00. | :21:10. | |
to get the Maiden seaworthy. They want to set sail by summer next year | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
when Tracy and the crew first set off around the world, they faced | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
incredible personal physical and natural challenges. Mountains to | :21:22. | :21:23. | |
climb made from the Globe's toughest seas. But returning Maiden to the | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
oceans and educating girls around the world could prove to be the most | :21:30. | :21:39. | |
ambitious and rewarding voyage yet. John Maguire, BBC News, Southampton. | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
MPs are urging the Government to do more to ensure that | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
all new-build homes are suitable for people with disabilities. | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
The Commons Women and Equalities Committee says more than 90% | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
of homes in England are inaccessible to someone who has a disability - | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
often because of stairs, narrow doorways or lack | :21:55. | :21:56. | |
Our disability affairs correspondent, Nikki Fox, reports. | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
Karlene has never lived in a house that's fully accessible. | :22:04. | :22:16. | |
And even after I've negotiated this door, | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
Born with cerebral palsy, she is able to live independently | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
I'd love to cook my own meals and use my oven, but I can't. | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
But some of the features in her home make it impossible | :22:27. | :22:28. | |
The biggest issue is my kitchen, that is completely | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
And I have to rely on support, external support. | :22:33. | :22:41. | |
And I've been on the accessible housing register for ten years. | :22:42. | :22:51. | |
And as to this day, I've still not seen a fully accessible property. | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
The report states that only 7% of all homes in England have a basic | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
It looks at other challenges disabled people face, | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
and calls for an investigation into how the Equality Act | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
is being used from the early stages of any development. | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
When it comes to planning our offices, our homes | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
and our built environment, disability still seems to be | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
an add-on - not critical and not part of the planning mechanisms. | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
The Goverment's current policy states that it is up to councils | :23:26. | :23:32. | |
to decide how many homes should be built with higher | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
But with an estimated 300,000 disabled people in unsuitable homes, | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
the committee is calling for better legislation on a national level. | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
President Trump's daughter, Ivanka, is meeting the German chancellor, | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
Angela Merkel, in Berlin this lunchtime, on her first | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
international trip since being given an official position | :23:50. | :23:50. | |
Ivanka is an influential adviser to her father, | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
but there's been criticism in the US about the nature of her role | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
Ivanka Trump, on the left, taking the stage in Berlin for a women's | :24:01. | :24:14. | |
Summit. Alongside her, global figures including the German | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
Chancellor, Angela Merkel. For the daughter of the US President, these | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
are unprecedented steps. Unofficial foreign visit and this is before the | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
president himself has made his first trip abroad -- and official. She is | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
openly pushing the policy agenda back home. Sadly the US is one of | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
the only countries in the world, the only developed country, that does | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
not have a paid leave policy for the benefit of families. First daughter | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
Ivanka Trump takes to the world stage, making her first big | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
international trip... Back in the US, all of this is headline news. | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
Already an influential adviser to her father with her own office in | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
the White House, Ivanka Trump now and seems to be working to improve | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
relations between the US and Germany. When Donald Trump that the | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
German leader Angela Merkel in Washington last month, it did not | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
appear to go well. But at one of the meetings, Ivanka Trump was placed | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
next to the Chancellor, they seemed to strike up a relationship, leading | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
to the invitation to attend the summit in Berlin. I definitely think | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
that for Angela Merkel, it is a diplomatic move tee move, very | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
strategic. -- it is a diplomatic move. Going via Ivanka Trump to | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
improve relationships with the US. While that benefits Angela Merkel, | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
it also pushes Ivanka Trump even more into the limelight, raising | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
further questions about the role of the President's family in the White | :25:53. | :26:01. | |
House. Richard Galpin, ABC News. -- BBC News. | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
Taking moderate exercise several times a week is the best way | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
for people over the age of 50 to keep their brain | :26:12. | :26:13. | |
That's according to a new report, which says a combination | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
of aerobic activity, such as swimming, cycling | :26:17. | :26:18. | |
or jogging, with muscle strengthening exercise | :26:19. | :26:20. | |
Tuesday lunchtime, and it's the over-50s dance class | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
But it's not just their feet that are being exercised. | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
Researchers say their mental powers are also being stretched, | :26:33. | :26:34. | |
by getting more blood pumping to the brain. | :26:35. | :26:36. | |
I used to do rock 'n roll and then I stopped, | :26:37. | :26:51. | |
Does it keep you sharp, do you think? | :26:52. | :27:00. | |
I'm very good at quizzes, I'll tell you! | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
We've known for a long time that exercise is good | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
for both our physical and mental health as we get older. | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
But this research pulls together 39 international reports | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
and says aerobic activity improves our ability to think, | :27:16. | :27:17. | |
Physical exercise can really help your brain function, | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
And that's really a very important motivator for people. | :27:24. | :27:31. | |
Because everybody cares about how well they age from the point of view | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
The research found that just half-an-hour of moderate exercise | :27:36. | :27:38. | |
But the more exercise you have beyond was even better. | :27:39. | :27:49. | |
Of course, physical exercise isn't the only way | :27:50. | :27:50. | |
And mental health charities say other factors, such | :27:51. | :27:56. | |
as what we eat and drink, and keeping our brains stimulated, | :27:57. | :27:59. | |
Newcastle are back in the Premier League after beating | :28:00. | :28:08. | |
The victory sealed the final automatic promotion spot, | :28:09. | :28:14. | |
Our sports correspondent, Katie Gornall, reports. | :28:15. | :28:22. | |
It won't rank as his greatest achievement, but Rafa Benitez, | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
a Champions League winning manager, has done what was expected of him | :28:28. | :28:32. | |
and taken Newcastle back to where they feel they belong. | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
As with much of United's season, last night was not | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
A Preston equaliser in the first half threatened | :28:41. | :28:42. | |
But this time, Newcastle held their nerve with Atsu's | :28:43. | :28:46. | |
composed finish setting them on their way to a crushing victory. | :28:47. | :28:53. | |
But no sooner had promotion been secured, the manager was unclear | :28:54. | :28:55. | |
But I am really pleased here, very happy and very proud | :28:56. | :29:04. | |
Hopefully, we can put the base in to do something that will be | :29:05. | :29:15. | |
Newcastle United have had no shortage of heroes to worship | :29:16. | :29:19. | |
over the years and now they have another one in Rafa Benitez. | :29:20. | :29:22. | |
Although whether or not he is the man to finally wake this | :29:23. | :29:25. | |
sleeping giant of a football club could depend on what | :29:26. | :29:27. | |
This was a squad put together to get out of the Championship. | :29:28. | :29:33. | |
To give them credit, they have done that. | :29:34. | :29:35. | |
Whether they would compete in the Premier League, | :29:36. | :29:36. | |
I think there's a lot of questions there. | :29:37. | :29:40. | |
The manager knows just what needs doing, and ideally, | :29:41. | :29:42. | |
listening to the fans, I think they want six or seven | :29:43. | :29:45. | |
players to go straight into the Premier League starting | :29:46. | :29:47. | |
line-up and hopefully the manager is given the opportunity to do that. | :29:48. | :29:50. | |
Now Rafa Benitez must persuade the club's notoriously | :29:51. | :29:53. | |
challenging owner, Mike Ashley, to back him in the transfer market. | :29:54. | :29:56. | |
A year after they were relegated, the biggest test could lie ahead. | :29:57. | :30:00. | |
The Olympic cycling champions Jason and Laura Kenny have been to | :30:01. | :30:17. | |
Buckingham Palace to receive CBEs. Jason Kenny won six Olympic titles, | :30:18. | :30:23. | |
Laura Kenny has won four. They have both been named in the latest squad | :30:24. | :30:30. | |
for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. Earlier in the year Laura announced | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
she was pregnant with their first child. Congratulations to them. | :30:35. | :30:38. | |
Second day of winter weather. This is coming from the Highlands. It is | :30:39. | :30:50. | |
a Highland cow. I will move out of the way! Gorgeous face. Fine weather | :30:51. | :30:55. | |
around as well. Plenty of sunshine. So many of us woke up to a crystal | :30:56. | :31:03. | |
clear blue skies across the UK. The wintry showers will now make their | :31:04. | :31:08. | |
way down. Folks in the south. To feel the chill with the Arctic air | :31:09. | :31:13. | |
setting in. Overall today will be the coldest looking at the country | :31:14. | :31:18. | |
as far as temperatures go and the chance of catching showers. Showers | :31:19. | :31:22. | |
reaching the South coast. Most will be of rain but there will be sweet | :31:23. | :31:25. | |
on high ground. Flashes of lightning. -- sleet. Most frequent | :31:26. | :31:35. | |
and with some snow across the upland areas certainly in Scotland, the | :31:36. | :31:39. | |
north-east of England and the North York Moors and even in the | :31:40. | :31:42. | |
south-west. They will continue this evening and overnight. Eastern areas | :31:43. | :31:47. | |
catching the wintry showers. The West, lighter winds, clearer skies, | :31:48. | :31:53. | |
a touch of frost. This morning was really nippy. Many areas were below | :31:54. | :31:59. | |
freezing. Tomorrow as well, frost around. A bit of an East - West | :32:00. | :32:05. | |
split tomorrow. Still under the influence of the colder air. Western | :32:06. | :32:13. | |
areas, fewer showers around and sunshine. Still showers mostly of | :32:14. | :32:18. | |
rain in Northern Ireland and north-western parts of Scotland. | :32:19. | :32:22. | |
This is the jet stream for Thursday, still coming from the North, the jet | :32:23. | :32:25. | |
stream carries the weather, so clearly the weather coming in just | :32:26. | :32:31. | |
about from the north. It will not be warming up in a hurry on Thursday | :32:32. | :32:35. | |
but you will start to feel a bit of a difference because we are getting | :32:36. | :32:39. | |
more of an Atlantic influence. Temperatures back into double | :32:40. | :32:43. | |
figures. The jet stream pushes out towards the east and weakens. This | :32:44. | :32:47. | |
jet stream pushes the weather from the south-west and that is much | :32:48. | :32:53. | |
milder. On Friday, we will start to feel things warming up with sunshine | :32:54. | :32:58. | |
and temperatures could be back into mid teens. It will feel almost | :32:59. | :33:03. | |
tropical that today. The bank led a weekend is not far away, looks as | :33:04. | :33:08. | |
though Saturday will be bright, dry. -- the bank holiday weekend. If you | :33:09. | :33:13. | |
live in the south-west, possible rain on Sunday. The good news, | :33:14. | :33:15. | |
turning milder. A reminder of our main | :33:16. | :33:17. | |
story this lunchtime. Labour says EU citizens could still | :33:18. | :33:26. | |
come to Britain after Brexit if they have a guaranteed job offer. | :33:27. | :33:29. | |
That's all from the BBC News at One, so it's goodbye from me. | :33:30. | :33:33. |
