:02:04. > :02:07.A draft of Labour's general election manifesto has been leaked,
:02:08. > :02:10.and it includes radical plans to renationalise the railways
:02:11. > :02:14.and Royal Mail, to scrap university tuition fees in England,
:02:15. > :02:17.and to end the public sector pay cap.
:02:18. > :02:21.The long document also includes plans to fund the NHS and social
:02:22. > :02:24.care through an increase in income tax for higher earners.
:02:25. > :02:28.The manifesto is due to be formally launched next week,
:02:29. > :02:30.and is being discussed today by the Shadow Cabinet.
:02:31. > :02:40.Our Political Correspondent Eleanor Garnier reports.
:02:41. > :02:48.It wasn't meant to be like this. Labour's first election launch, they
:02:49. > :02:53.had wanted to focus on attacking the Tories. Good morning, everyone.
:02:54. > :02:56.Instead, it is their leaked manifesto everyone is talking about.
:02:57. > :03:02.A draft version now out there for all to see, a whole week early. This
:03:03. > :03:05.morning, though, no sign of the leader as originally planned. He was
:03:06. > :03:10.meant to be here, but these things happened, and Mr Corbyn is dealing
:03:11. > :03:16.with internal matters. So it was left to others in Labour to play
:03:17. > :03:20.down the significance of the league. The draft includes proposals to
:03:21. > :03:24.nationalise the railways and the postal service, a plan to create
:03:25. > :03:30.publicly owned energy companies in every region of the OK plus the
:03:31. > :03:35.introduction of price caps, and commitment to abolish tuition fees
:03:36. > :03:39.as well as ?8 billion social care. This is an extremely modern,
:03:40. > :03:44.progressive set of proposals. And it's looking to the long-term future
:03:45. > :03:51.and most people are extremely at what they have seen. What if you? It
:03:52. > :03:55.certainly wasn't. The details might be out but the manifesto is not
:03:56. > :03:59.finalised. We are here to decide the final word, I am sure it will be an
:04:00. > :04:02.exciting programme to attract as many voters as possible to the
:04:03. > :04:08.Labour Party. It's being agreed by senior figures today. Are you
:04:09. > :04:12.responsible for the league? Don't be silly. They are hoping that
:04:13. > :04:20.decisions will help win over the public. Ordinary voters want the
:04:21. > :04:26.abolition of zero our contract, agency workers dealt with,
:04:27. > :04:30.nationalisation of the railways. So what did people at Coventry station
:04:31. > :04:35.make of the claims? It's a good idea, they should nationalise
:04:36. > :04:38.everything, bring it back to how it was. Jeremy Corbyn generally has the
:04:39. > :04:42.right idea, so if you think it is the right idea, I am linked to
:04:43. > :04:51.listen. It will just be a gravy train run by left wing think tanks,
:04:52. > :04:55.people in London. It is clear not all in Labour think that he has a
:04:56. > :04:59.clear message. The Tories are 20 points ahead in the polls, it is the
:05:00. > :05:04.Tory manifesto that people need to be focusing on. Labour MPs are
:05:05. > :05:07.trying to save as many good Labour MPs as possible so we have a
:05:08. > :05:12.semblance of an opposition after the election. One key question remains,
:05:13. > :05:16.how many of the major spending commitments be met? Mr Corbyn's
:05:17. > :05:19.allies insist all of the policies in the final document will be fully
:05:20. > :05:26.funded. So far, there's little detail the draft. There's no
:05:27. > :05:33.doubting the Labour leader's polarity among his own supporters.
:05:34. > :05:36.But to win this election, -- his popularity among his own supporters.
:05:37. > :05:38.But to win this election, he will need to win over much wider support.
:05:39. > :05:40.Our Assistant Political Editor Norman Smith is outside
:05:41. > :05:56.Is this damaging, this league? -- this leak? This suggests a degree of
:05:57. > :06:00.fear and loathing, distrust and disloyalty at the top of the Labour
:06:01. > :06:04.Party. But those around Mr Corbyn say at least this enables them to
:06:05. > :06:08.set out the radical agenda they are thinking about. Some are even
:06:09. > :06:14.speculating, maybe it was Jeremy Corbyn's team who leaked this draft
:06:15. > :06:17.manifesto. We do not know that, but we do know that this is the most
:06:18. > :06:26.extensive manifesto of modern times, it is a humongous Lydia Ko shopping
:06:27. > :06:30.list, a cornucopia of proposals and pledges, everything from a big
:06:31. > :06:35.Bonanza pledge like 1 million more homes and small things like free
:06:36. > :06:40.Wi-Fi on the trains and banning pesticides that hurt bumblebees. It
:06:41. > :06:45.is probably the most left-wing manifesto of any recent would-be
:06:46. > :06:48.Labour government, the big iconic left-wing proposals such as
:06:49. > :06:53.renationalising the railways, chunks of the energy industry, state
:06:54. > :06:58.intervention to cap rises in people's rents. That said, it is
:06:59. > :07:05.also probably the most extensive manifesto of any modern Labour
:07:06. > :07:10.Party, with huge spending pledges such as ?8 billion for social care.
:07:11. > :07:13.Billions for reversing benefit cuts. 11 billion to pay for scrapping
:07:14. > :07:20.tuition fees. And while this trough to manifesto may be packed with
:07:21. > :07:22.odysseys, it's -- with policies, it is decidedly short on sums to show
:07:23. > :07:25.how they are going to be paid for. Two key policy areas
:07:26. > :07:27.in Labour's leaked manifesto Our correspondent Gillian Hargreaves
:07:28. > :07:30.looks first at the party's pledge to abolish university tuition
:07:31. > :07:36.fees in England. They've got
:07:37. > :07:42.cause for celebration, earn around ?200,000 more
:07:43. > :07:46.in your lifetime than somebody Which is one of the reasons why
:07:47. > :07:49.the Coalition Government raised fees to ?9,000 a year
:07:50. > :07:55.for students in England. But when they did, there were riots
:07:56. > :07:59.on the streets, and now Labour promises to
:08:00. > :08:02.scrap fees altogether. I reckon it's a good
:08:03. > :08:07.idea for the students, but for the Treasury,
:08:08. > :08:09.not so much. Up until now, my
:08:10. > :08:11.education has been free. Why do I have to pay at 18 onwards,
:08:12. > :08:16.nine grand per year? Well, perhaps some
:08:17. > :08:19.students would say that. When 7% of the population went
:08:20. > :08:26.to university, the government could afford to pay tuition fees, but now
:08:27. > :08:30.more than half of all 18-year-olds If the government
:08:31. > :08:35.paid for all of their tuition fees, the bill
:08:36. > :08:38.would be huge. Well, abolishing tuition fees adds
:08:39. > :08:42.to borrowing in the short run Of course, the government
:08:43. > :08:47.is already paying for student fees, it's just getting
:08:48. > :08:51.that money back, well, two thirds of that money back
:08:52. > :08:54.from graduates in the long run. So the long run cost to
:08:55. > :08:58.the government of abolishing fees is When it comes to paying
:08:59. > :09:05.for university, opposite direction to the Tories,
:09:06. > :09:09.but there's little detail yet on how and when it would
:09:10. > :09:11.introduce the change. Another pledge in the
:09:12. > :09:18.leaked manifesto is to Richard Lister is at
:09:19. > :09:39.Kings Cross station in London. But have passengers been saying? I
:09:40. > :09:43.did a thoroughly nonscientific side survey of the ten people I first
:09:44. > :09:46.came across, seven were in favour of nationalisation and three were
:09:47. > :09:51.against, that proves nothing. But its chimes closely with what opinion
:09:52. > :09:54.polls have been saying nationally for the past few years. The clear
:09:55. > :09:57.majority of people tell opinion polls that they are in favour of
:09:58. > :10:02.nationalised railways. That is remarkable when you consider the bad
:10:03. > :10:06.old days of the old nationalised British rail which was something of
:10:07. > :10:11.a byword for British decline by the time it was fully privatised 20
:10:12. > :10:15.years ago. Labour says this time it would be different, if you put the
:10:16. > :10:19.passenger first on your spending, you can freeze fares, you can give
:10:20. > :10:24.free Wi-Fi to everybody on board, and you can improve disabled access
:10:25. > :10:29.to trains. And of course, few would argue that privatisation has been an
:10:30. > :10:33.unqualified success over the past 20 years. Certainly fares have
:10:34. > :10:36.increased more sharply than inflation and trains, many trains
:10:37. > :10:42.are hugely overcrowded. The Tories say that still better than British
:10:43. > :10:46.rail, and they point to the fact that privatisation has led, since
:10:47. > :10:52.2000, to a much better safety record and also much more punctual
:10:53. > :10:57.services. The counterargument to that is that Network Rail is
:10:58. > :11:01.responsible for a lot of those implements and Labour points to the
:11:02. > :11:06.fact that Network Rail, in charge of tracks and stations, is a public
:11:07. > :11:07.body and taxpayer money has gone into improving the services we now
:11:08. > :11:09.use. The Conservatives have said that
:11:10. > :11:12.if they win the election, they will increase defence spending
:11:13. > :11:14.by 0.5% more than The Defence Secretary Michael Fallon
:11:15. > :11:17.also said the Conservatives would continue to meet the pledge
:11:18. > :11:20.to spend at least 2% It's a growing defence budget,
:11:21. > :11:27.it's properly financed. We meet the Nato 2% target
:11:28. > :11:29.and we think that it's right to commit to that for the rest
:11:30. > :11:32.of this parliament, so that our Armed Forces
:11:33. > :11:35.have the equipment that they need The Green party have
:11:36. > :11:39.launched their election In a speech, the party's co-leader
:11:40. > :11:44.Caroline Lucas said that Britain's prosperity depends
:11:45. > :11:49.on the natural world. We're the only party that puts
:11:50. > :11:51.the environment at the heart And we do it quite simply
:11:52. > :11:57.because a prosperous, thriving future will be green...or
:11:58. > :12:02.not at all. And a reminder, you can keep up
:12:03. > :12:07.to date with all the developments throughout the campaign,
:12:08. > :12:09.and live events, on the BBC news And if you're on the move
:12:10. > :12:15.you can follow the election The Bank of England is predicting
:12:16. > :12:24.only moderate growth for the UK economy this year with a squeeze
:12:25. > :12:28.on households' incomes, as wages rise more
:12:29. > :12:31.slowly than prices. Interest rates have
:12:32. > :12:35.kept on hold at 0.25%. Looking further ahead,
:12:36. > :12:39.the forecast is brighter, although as our economics
:12:40. > :12:42.correspondent Andrew Verity reports, a lot depends on the impact
:12:43. > :12:46.of Brexit negotiations. Here is one element of the cost
:12:47. > :12:50.of living that is shooting up. The wholesale price of butter has
:12:51. > :12:54.doubled in the last year, according Producers and shops
:12:55. > :12:59.are passing on some, but not At the last count,
:13:00. > :13:03.the retail price of oils and fats like butter was up
:13:04. > :13:06.by 15.5% compared to last year. As for the price of
:13:07. > :13:08.butter as for the whole economy, the big question
:13:09. > :13:12.is, is this inflation I think for the Bank of England,
:13:13. > :13:16.they are really trying to work out how persistent the rise
:13:17. > :13:19.that we are seeing in inflation at the moment is going to be, and
:13:20. > :13:22.struggle that against the context which is a UK economy
:13:23. > :13:25.that is weakening, looking a little bit soggy,
:13:26. > :13:29.certainly in terms of activity, people looking for new houses and
:13:30. > :13:34.properties coming onto the market. A UK economy that is
:13:35. > :13:38.also facing Brexit. The official consumer price index
:13:39. > :13:40.measure of inflation got down But now, it's back
:13:41. > :13:46.above the 2% target. The Bank of England
:13:47. > :13:49.is now predicting it will carry on rising, peaking
:13:50. > :13:52.later this year at 2.8%. The wages that people
:13:53. > :13:54.are getting are not going to be sufficient to compensate
:13:55. > :13:57.for the rises in consumer prices, And so this is going to be a more
:13:58. > :14:01.challenging time for British households over
:14:02. > :14:06.the course of this year. One big reason for higher
:14:07. > :14:13.price rises is the pound. Because it dropped
:14:14. > :14:15.in value both before need more pounds to get hold
:14:16. > :14:20.of the dollars and Euros we need The projected inflation

:14:38. > :14:39.expectations of a material adjustment to the UK's medium term
:14:40. > :14:42.prospect as it leaves the EU. The bank's confident
:14:43. > :14:44.prediction is that the effect of the weaker pound
:14:45. > :14:47.will be select next year and that workers will not seek to beat
:14:48. > :14:49.inflation by On that basis, interest
:14:50. > :14:52.rates may have to rise a little in the next three
:14:53. > :14:56.years, but only very slightly. Three women have appeared

:30:40. > :30:43.taking place across the South. There's a lot of fine, dry weather,
:30:44. > :30:46.particularly across the northern half of the country. This is from
:30:47. > :30:50.County Antrim, a good example of how it's looking further north. To the
:30:51. > :30:54.south, the change I mentioned is taking place. There's more cloud
:30:55. > :30:57.around and a few showers, like the picture shows in West Sussex. That's
:30:58. > :31:02.because we've got this area of low pressure, which is slowly moving up
:31:03. > :31:06.from south. It's introducing thicker cloud and rain and tied in with it,
:31:07. > :31:09.more humid, muggy air from the near continent. It is making inroads
:31:10. > :31:12.across the country, particularly for England and Wales. You will notice
:31:13. > :31:17.that for the next couple of days. Lots of sunshine to the north. To
:31:18. > :31:20.the south, more cloud. When we get the sunshine breaking through,
:31:21. > :31:23.temperatures lift, scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop. It's
:31:24. > :31:28.difficult to say where they will form, but the focus could be along
:31:29. > :31:33.the M4 corridor. There could be a torrential downpour and it will feel
:31:34. > :31:38.warm and muggy, maybe 23 Celsius. Quite a warm feeling day for the
:31:39. > :31:41.north-west of good. The further north you are, the dryer. For much
:31:42. > :31:46.of Northern Ireland and Scotland are finite -- a fine afternoon. It will
:31:47. > :31:50.feel chilly because of the North Sea Breeze. The thunderstorms will
:31:51. > :31:53.rattle on across the South and we'll see another pulse of rain moving
:31:54. > :31:56.north this evening, some getting towards Northern Ireland. There
:31:57. > :32:00.could be maybe thundery bursts, because it will be a warm and muggy
:32:01. > :32:05.night for England and Wales. Double figures. Clear skies for Scotland,
:32:06. > :32:09.one or two chilly spots. For Friday, a cloudy day. The best of the
:32:10. > :32:13.sunshine across western Scotland, may be towards north-west England. A
:32:14. > :32:16.cool feeling day for eastern Scotland. Further south, warm and
:32:17. > :32:23.muggy and further showers developing. Some could be thundery,
:32:24. > :32:26.particularly through central areas of England and Wales. Around the low
:32:27. > :32:29.20s, one of the warmest spot is closer than the high teens further
:32:30. > :32:33.north. For the weekend, fairly unsubtle. Some sunny spells,
:32:34. > :32:38.scattered showers and we'll lose the humidity, particularly on Sunday. It
:32:39. > :32:39.will feel fresher. This is the picture for Saturday. The
:32:40. > :32:43.south-eastern quadrant of the country could get away with a dry
:32:44. > :32:48.day, sunshine and feeling quite warm. Further north and west,
:32:49. > :32:52.breezy, some heavy showers and sunny spells. We'll see the weather front
:32:53. > :32:55.sweep across the country during Saturday night. It will leave a
:32:56. > :32:58.fresh regime for Sunday. A mixture of sunshine and showers.
