:01:38.:02:00.

Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:02:01.:02:03.

A draft of Labour's general election manifesto has been leaked,

:02:04.:02:07.

and it includes radical plans to renationalise the railways

:02:08.:02:10.

and Royal Mail, to scrap university tuition fees in England,

:02:11.:02:14.

and to end the public sector pay cap.

:02:15.:02:17.

The long document also includes plans to fund the NHS and social

:02:18.:02:21.

care through an increase in income tax for higher earners.

:02:22.:02:24.

The manifesto is due to be formally launched next week,

:02:25.:02:28.

and is being discussed today by the Shadow Cabinet.

:02:29.:02:30.

Our Political Correspondent Eleanor Garnier reports.

:02:31.:02:40.

It wasn't meant to be like this. Labour's first election launch, they

:02:41.:02:48.

had wanted to focus on attacking the Tories. Good morning, everyone.

:02:49.:02:53.

Instead, it is their leaked manifesto everyone is talking about.

:02:54.:02:56.

A draft version now out there for all to see, a whole week early. This

:02:57.:03:02.

morning, though, no sign of the leader as originally planned. He was

:03:03.:03:05.

meant to be here, but these things happened, and Mr Corbyn is dealing

:03:06.:03:10.

with internal matters. So it was left to others in Labour to play

:03:11.:03:16.

down the significance of the league. The draft includes proposals to

:03:17.:03:20.

nationalise the railways and the postal service, a plan to create

:03:21.:03:24.

publicly owned energy companies in every region of the OK plus the

:03:25.:03:30.

introduction of price caps, and commitment to abolish tuition fees

:03:31.:03:35.

as well as ?8 billion social care. This is an extremely modern,

:03:36.:03:39.

progressive set of proposals. And it's looking to the long-term future

:03:40.:03:44.

and most people are extremely at what they have seen. What if you? It

:03:45.:03:51.

certainly wasn't. The details might be out but the manifesto is not

:03:52.:03:55.

finalised. We are here to decide the final word, I am sure it will be an

:03:56.:03:59.

exciting programme to attract as many voters as possible to the

:04:00.:04:02.

Labour Party. It's being agreed by senior figures today. Are you

:04:03.:04:08.

responsible for the league? Don't be silly. They are hoping that

:04:09.:04:12.

decisions will help win over the public. Ordinary voters want the

:04:13.:04:20.

abolition of zero our contract, agency workers dealt with,

:04:21.:04:26.

nationalisation of the railways. So what did people at Coventry station

:04:27.:04:30.

make of the claims? It's a good idea, they should nationalise

:04:31.:04:35.

everything, bring it back to how it was. Jeremy Corbyn generally has the

:04:36.:04:38.

right idea, so if you think it is the right idea, I am linked to

:04:39.:04:42.

listen. It will just be a gravy train run by left wing think tanks,

:04:43.:04:51.

people in London. It is clear not all in Labour think that he has a

:04:52.:04:55.

clear message. The Tories are 20 points ahead in the polls, it is the

:04:56.:04:59.

Tory manifesto that people need to be focusing on. Labour MPs are

:05:00.:05:04.

trying to save as many good Labour MPs as possible so we have a

:05:05.:05:07.

semblance of an opposition after the election. One key question remains,

:05:08.:05:12.

how many of the major spending commitments be met? Mr Corbyn's

:05:13.:05:16.

allies insist all of the policies in the final document will be fully

:05:17.:05:19.

funded. So far, there's little detail the draft. There's no

:05:20.:05:26.

doubting the Labour leader's polarity among his own supporters.

:05:27.:05:33.

But to win this election, -- his popularity among his own supporters.

:05:34.:05:36.

But to win this election, he will need to win over much wider support.

:05:37.:05:38.

Our Assistant Political Editor Norman Smith is outside

:05:39.:05:40.

Is this damaging, this league? -- this leak? This suggests a degree of

:05:41.:05:56.

fear and loathing, distrust and disloyalty at the top of the Labour

:05:57.:06:00.

Party. But those around Mr Corbyn say at least this enables them to

:06:01.:06:04.

set out the radical agenda they are thinking about. Some are even

:06:05.:06:08.

speculating, maybe it was Jeremy Corbyn's team who leaked this draft

:06:09.:06:14.

manifesto. We do not know that, but we do know that this is the most

:06:15.:06:17.

extensive manifesto of modern times, it is a humongous Lydia Ko shopping

:06:18.:06:26.

list, a cornucopia of proposals and pledges, everything from a big

:06:27.:06:30.

Bonanza pledge like 1 million more homes and small things like free

:06:31.:06:35.

Wi-Fi on the trains and banning pesticides that hurt bumblebees. It

:06:36.:06:40.

is probably the most left-wing manifesto of any recent would-be

:06:41.:06:45.

Labour government, the big iconic left-wing proposals such as

:06:46.:06:48.

renationalising the railways, chunks of the energy industry, state

:06:49.:06:53.

intervention to cap rises in people's rents. That said, it is

:06:54.:06:58.

also probably the most extensive manifesto of any modern Labour

:06:59.:07:05.

Party, with huge spending pledges such as ?8 billion for social care.

:07:06.:07:10.

Billions for reversing benefit cuts. 11 billion to pay for scrapping

:07:11.:07:13.

tuition fees. And while this trough to manifesto may be packed with

:07:14.:07:20.

odysseys, it's -- with policies, it is decidedly short on sums to show

:07:21.:07:22.

how they are going to be paid for. Two key policy areas

:07:23.:07:25.

in Labour's leaked manifesto Our correspondent Gillian Hargreaves

:07:26.:07:27.

looks first at the party's pledge to abolish university tuition

:07:28.:07:30.

fees in England. They've got

:07:31.:07:36.

cause for celebration, earn around ?200,000 more

:07:37.:07:42.

in your lifetime than somebody Which is one of the reasons why

:07:43.:07:46.

the Coalition Government raised fees to ?9,000 a year

:07:47.:07:49.

for students in England. But when they did, there were riots

:07:50.:07:55.

on the streets, and now Labour promises to

:07:56.:07:59.

scrap fees altogether. I reckon it's a good

:08:00.:08:02.

idea for the students, but for the Treasury,

:08:03.:08:07.

not so much. Up until now, my

:08:08.:08:09.

education has been free. Why do I have to pay at 18 onwards,

:08:10.:08:11.

nine grand per year? Well, perhaps some

:08:12.:08:16.

students would say that. When 7% of the population went

:08:17.:08:19.

to university, the government could afford to pay tuition fees, but now

:08:20.:08:26.

more than half of all 18-year-olds If the government

:08:27.:08:30.

paid for all of their tuition fees, the bill

:08:31.:08:35.

would be huge. Well, abolishing tuition fees adds

:08:36.:08:38.

to borrowing in the short run Of course, the government

:08:39.:08:42.

is already paying for student fees, it's just getting

:08:43.:08:47.

that money back, well, two thirds of that money back

:08:48.:08:51.

from graduates in the long run. So the long run cost to

:08:52.:08:54.

the government of abolishing fees is When it comes to paying

:08:55.:08:58.

for university, opposite direction to the Tories,

:08:59.:09:05.

but there's little detail yet on how and when it would

:09:06.:09:09.

introduce the change. Another pledge in the

:09:10.:09:11.

leaked manifesto is to Richard Lister is at

:09:12.:09:18.

Kings Cross station in London. But have passengers been saying? I

:09:19.:09:39.

did a thoroughly nonscientific side survey of the ten people I first

:09:40.:09:43.

came across, seven were in favour of nationalisation and three were

:09:44.:09:46.

against, that proves nothing. But its chimes closely with what opinion

:09:47.:09:51.

polls have been saying nationally for the past few years. The clear

:09:52.:09:54.

majority of people tell opinion polls that they are in favour of

:09:55.:09:57.

nationalised railways. That is remarkable when you consider the bad

:09:58.:10:02.

old days of the old nationalised British rail which was something of

:10:03.:10:06.

a byword for British decline by the time it was fully privatised 20

:10:07.:10:11.

years ago. Labour says this time it would be different, if you put the

:10:12.:10:15.

passenger first on your spending, you can freeze fares, you can give

:10:16.:10:19.

free Wi-Fi to everybody on board, and you can improve disabled access

:10:20.:10:24.

to trains. And of course, few would argue that privatisation has been an

:10:25.:10:29.

unqualified success over the past 20 years. Certainly fares have

:10:30.:10:33.

increased more sharply than inflation and trains, many trains

:10:34.:10:36.

are hugely overcrowded. The Tories say that still better than British

:10:37.:10:42.

rail, and they point to the fact that privatisation has led, since

:10:43.:10:46.

2000, to a much better safety record and also much more punctual

:10:47.:10:52.

services. The counterargument to that is that Network Rail is

:10:53.:10:57.

responsible for a lot of those implements and Labour points to the

:10:58.:11:01.

fact that Network Rail, in charge of tracks and stations, is a public

:11:02.:11:06.

body and taxpayer money has gone into improving the services we now

:11:07.:11:07.

use. The Conservatives have said that

:11:08.:11:09.

if they win the election, they will increase defence spending

:11:10.:11:12.

by 0.5% more than The Defence Secretary Michael Fallon

:11:13.:11:14.

also said the Conservatives would continue to meet the pledge

:11:15.:11:17.

to spend at least 2% It's a growing defence budget,

:11:18.:11:20.

it's properly financed. We meet the Nato 2% target

:11:21.:11:27.

and we think that it's right to commit to that for the rest

have the equipment that they need The Green party have

:11:33.:11:35.

launched their election In a speech, the party's co-leader

:11:36.:11:39.

Caroline Lucas said that Britain's prosperity depends

:11:40.:11:44.

on the natural world. We're the only party that puts

:11:45.:11:49.

the environment at the heart And we do it quite simply

:11:50.:11:51.

because a prosperous, thriving future will be green...or

not at all. And a reminder, you can keep up

and live events, on the BBC news And if you're on the move

you can follow the election The Bank of England is predicting

:12:10.:12:15.

only moderate growth for the UK economy this year with a squeeze

:12:16.:12:24.

on households' incomes, as wages rise more

:12:25.:12:28.

slowly than prices. Interest rates have

:12:29.:12:31.

kept on hold at 0.25%. Looking further ahead,

:12:32.:12:35.

the forecast is brighter, although as our economics

:12:36.:12:39.

correspondent Andrew Verity reports, a lot depends on the impact

:12:40.:12:42.

of Brexit negotiations. Here is one element of the cost

:12:43.:12:46.

of living that is shooting up. The wholesale price of butter has

:12:47.:12:50.

doubled in the last year, according Producers and shops

:12:51.:12:54.

are passing on some, but not At the last count,

:12:55.:12:59.

the retail price of oils and fats like butter was up

:13:00.:13:03.

by 15.5% compared to last year. As for the price of

:13:04.:13:06.

butter as for the whole economy, the big question

:13:07.:13:08.

is, is this inflation I think for the Bank of England,

:13:09.:13:12.

they are really trying to work out how persistent the rise

:13:13.:13:16.

that we are seeing in inflation at the moment is going to be, and

:13:17.:13:19.

struggle that against the context which is a UK economy

:13:20.:13:22.

that is weakening, looking a little bit soggy,

:13:23.:13:25.

certainly in terms of activity, people looking for new houses and

:13:26.:13:29.

properties coming onto the market. A UK economy that is

:13:30.:13:34.

also facing Brexit. The official consumer price index

:13:35.:13:38.

measure of inflation got down But now, it's back

:13:39.:13:40.

above the 2% target. The Bank of England

:13:41.:13:46.

is now predicting it will carry on rising, peaking

:13:47.:13:49.

later this year at 2.8%. The wages that people

:13:50.:13:52.

are getting are not going to be sufficient to compensate

:13:53.:13:54.

for the rises in consumer prices, And so this is going to be a more

:13:55.:13:57.

challenging time for British households over

:13:58.:14:01.

the course of this year. One big reason for higher

:14:02.:14:06.

price rises is the pound. Because it dropped

in value both before need more pounds to get hold

expectations of a material adjustment to the UK's medium term

prospect as it leaves the EU. The bank's confident

:14:40.:14:42.

prediction is that the effect of the weaker pound

:14:43.:14:44.

will be select next year and that workers will not seek to beat

:14:45.:14:47.

inflation by On that basis, interest

:14:48.:14:49.

rates may have to rise a little in the next three

:14:50.:14:52.

years, but only very slightly. Three women have appeared

:14:53.:14:56.

in court today, including a mother and daughter,

:14:57.:14:58.

charged with terrorism offences They include 21-year-old

at a property in Willesden Our home affairs correspondent

June Kelly is at Westminster This case is said to involve an

:15:11.:15:24.

alleged plot involving a knife attack in Westminster. In the dock

:15:25.:15:30.

we had a mother, Mina Dich, 43, her daughter, Rizlaine Boular, 21, and a

:15:31.:15:35.

third woman, Khawla Barghouthi, it was Rizlaine Boular -- Rizlaine

:15:36.:15:40.

Boular who was shot two weeks ago. They are accused of conspiring to

:15:41.:15:46.

murder person or persons unknown. Rizlaine Boular is accused of

:15:47.:15:50.

engaging in conduct preparing for terrorist acts on the other two are

:15:51.:15:55.

charged with assisting her in this. All three were wearing Islamic

:15:56.:15:58.

dress. The mother and daughter both had their faces fully covered. The

:15:59.:16:03.

senior district Judge, Emma Roberts not, ask them to adjust their veils,

:16:04.:16:07.

so she could see their eyes, which they did. Mina Dich chose to recover

:16:08.:16:13.

all of her face for most of this hearing. As they left the dock, she

:16:14.:16:17.

waved to relatives in the public gallery. All three women have been

:16:18.:16:21.

remanded in custody and their next appearance will be at the Old Bailey

:16:22.:16:24.

on May the 19th. June Kelly.

:16:25.:16:31.

A marketing company which made nearly 100 million nuisance calls

:16:32.:16:33.

has been fined a record ?400,000 by the Information

:16:34.:16:36.

Keurboom Communications made automated calls

:16:37.:16:42.

to people encouraging them to make insurance claims.

:16:43.:16:45.

We've all had them, at any time of day or night.

:16:46.:16:56.

The call, the click on the line and then the recorded

:16:57.:16:59.

message, about PPI or a car accident.

:17:00.:17:01.

Today, Kerboum Communications was fined ?400,000

:17:02.:17:06.

One said, these calls disrupt my work, cause

:17:07.:17:18.

unnecessary anxiety and make me very angry.

:17:19.:17:20.

Another, a victim of stalking, complained, "I am harassed

:17:21.:17:21.

by my ex-partner through calls and text messages, and so unsolicited

:17:22.:17:26.

Companies can only call if they have our permission.

:17:27.:17:34.

Kerboum didn't, but made the calls enemy.

:17:35.:17:38.

It has now gone bust, so may not pay the fine.

:17:39.:17:45.

If the director, who was responsible for the company,

:17:46.:17:53.

think we would have a much better chance of success, and we think it

:17:54.:17:57.

It seems tougher action on rogue cold

:17:58.:18:04.

I think it's rude to call people up and interrupt their day when they're

:18:05.:18:07.

I find it rude, I would never do that someone else, so I just think

:18:08.:18:14.

As soon as I put it down and say no, or take me off or

:18:15.:18:19.

whatever, I want to be of this research, then they'll phone back.

:18:20.:18:22.

The industry itself welcomes tighter regulation.

:18:23.:18:24.

At the moment, it may well be in a bad place, and people

:18:25.:18:27.

don't really trust the calls coming through to their phone.

:18:28.:18:30.

But if we were able to get rid of the vast

:18:31.:18:32.

majority of these nuisance callers, then it would re-establish itself

:18:33.:18:35.

But some think fines are not enough, and only the threat of

:18:36.:18:40.

prison for company bosses will put a stop to the nuisance calls.

:18:41.:18:43.

Waiting times for a number of key NHS services in England

:18:44.:18:48.

were the worst in four years, according to analysis of figures

:18:49.:18:51.

More people waited more than four hours to be seen in A, and cancer

:18:52.:19:01.

Our Health Editor Hugh Pym is with me.

:19:02.:19:08.

Talk is through the figures. This is key performance targets for the NHS

:19:09.:19:15.

in England. For the whole financial year. We got figures for March,

:19:16.:19:19.

giving as the picture for the financial year. An analysis by the

:19:20.:19:22.

health foundation, or shows across the whole year there were 2.5

:19:23.:19:26.

million people waiting longer than the four our standard to be treated

:19:27.:19:30.

are assessed in A and that's a really big increase on five years

:19:31.:19:38.

ago, when the figure was more like 720 5000. On another key performance

:19:39.:19:44.

benchmark, how long you have to wait for cancer treatment once there's

:19:45.:19:50.

been an urgent referral by your GP, it should be 62 days, two months. It

:19:51.:20:01.

was 26,000 people waiting longer than that for the full year. Quite a

:20:02.:20:05.

big increase on the figure for 2011-12, which was just over 14,000.

:20:06.:20:09.

A worsening across all key measures. How much of this is about simply

:20:10.:20:13.

more people using the NHS? That's what are NHS England made clear,

:20:14.:20:16.

more people are coming through the NHS and getting treated. That should

:20:17.:20:21.

never be ignored, in looking at how these performance figures stack up.

:20:22.:20:24.

They are also saying in March, things were better than in February.

:20:25.:20:28.

There's been a slight improvement during the course of this year. That

:20:29.:20:31.

shows the historic trend. You could be dealing with more patients, but

:20:32.:20:36.

you still have to hit these targets. It's in the NHS Constitution. That's

:20:37.:20:40.

going to be a dilemma for whoever forms the next government, how do

:20:41.:20:42.

you carry on delivering what patients have been told they should

:20:43.:20:46.

expect when you are dealing with more and more patients. Hugh Pym,

taking place across the South. There's a lot of fine, dry weather,

particularly across the northern half of the country. This is from

:30:44.:30:46.

County Antrim, a good example of how it's looking further north. To the

south, the change I mentioned is taking place. There's more cloud

around and a few showers, like the picture shows in West Sussex. That's

:30:55.:30:57.

because we've got this area of low pressure, which is slowly moving up

from south. It's introducing thicker cloud and rain and tied in with it,

more humid, muggy air from the near continent. It is making inroads

across the country, particularly for England and Wales. You will notice

that for the next couple of days. Lots of sunshine to the north. To

:31:13.:31:17.

the south, more cloud. When we get the sunshine breaking through,

:31:18.:31:20.

temperatures lift, scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop. It's

:31:21.:31:23.

difficult to say where they will form, but the focus could be along

the M4 corridor. There could be a torrential downpour and it will feel

could be maybe thundery bursts, because it will be a warm and muggy

one or two chilly spots. For Friday, a cloudy day. The best of the

sunshine across western Scotland, may be towards north-west England. A

cool feeling day for eastern Scotland. Further south, warm and

muggy and further showers developing. Some could be thundery,

particularly through central areas of England and Wales. Around the low

north. For the weekend, fairly unsubtle. Some sunny spells,

scattered showers and we'll lose the humidity, particularly on Sunday. It

will feel fresher. This is the picture for Saturday. The

south-eastern quadrant of the country could get away with a dry

day, sunshine and feeling quite warm. Further north and west,

:32:44.:32:48.

breezy, some heavy showers and sunny spells. We'll see the weather front

sweep across the country during Saturday night. It will leave a

fresh regime for Sunday. A mixture of sunshine and showers.
