:00:00. > :00:00.The Government says no cuts to foreign aid,

:00:00. > :00:09.but stops short of promising to keep pensions rising as they do now.

:00:10. > :00:11.As Theresa May campaigned in Berkshire, her Chancellor

:00:12. > :00:14.suggested a possible softening of the Government's

:00:15. > :00:20.All Chancellors would prefer to have more flexibility in how

:00:21. > :00:22.they manage the economy, and how they manage the overall tax

:00:23. > :00:30.burden down, than to have their hands constrained.

:00:31. > :00:33.On day three of campaigning, we'll bring you all the latest.

:00:43. > :00:47.of babies was warned it needed to improve ten years ago.

:00:48. > :00:49.A warning about teenage boys and their computers,

:00:50. > :00:54.as the police reveal the average cyber hacker is just 17.

:00:57. > :01:01.A new exhibition for this year's city of culture.

:01:02. > :01:04.It's a big cup weekend in England and Scotland.

:01:05. > :01:05.We'll look ahead to all four semi-finals,

:01:06. > :01:30.starting with Chelsea's bid for the double.

:01:31. > :01:33.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:34. > :01:35.On day three of the campaign trail the Prime Minister

:01:36. > :01:39.and the Chancellor have given their first hints

:01:40. > :01:42.of what will and what won't be in the Conservative manifesto.

:01:43. > :01:45.Theresa May says she'll keep the current spending on foreign aid,

:01:46. > :01:47.despite pressure from within her own party to cut it.

:01:48. > :01:49.But she would not commit to keep the so-called

:01:50. > :01:52.triple lock on pensions, which guarantees they rise

:01:53. > :01:55.by inflation, average earnings or 2.5% each year,

:01:56. > :02:04.And the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, has hinted that he would like to end

:02:05. > :02:07.the party's promise not to increase taxes.

:02:08. > :02:09.Our first report tonight is from our deputy political

:02:10. > :02:22.Trust me, I'm a politician. No leader stays popular forever but

:02:23. > :02:26.Theresa May clearly feels that she is well liked enough for now to make

:02:27. > :02:31.promises that some might like but others Wilmot. She looks confident,

:02:32. > :02:35.and the message is one we have heard before and will again. What drives

:02:36. > :02:38.me, the passion that I have in politics, is to make the United

:02:39. > :02:43.Kingdom a country that works for everyone, not just the privileged

:02:44. > :02:48.few. That meant sticking to Britain's target spending on foreign

:02:49. > :02:52.aid, which some right-wingers want cut. We need to look at how it is

:02:53. > :02:56.spent and make sure we are able to spend the money in the most

:02:57. > :03:01.effective way. What about the other costly pledge, keeping up the value

:03:02. > :03:06.of pensions? Today, you are telling the country you are a leader people

:03:07. > :03:11.can trust. Can pensioners trust you to go on raising their state

:03:12. > :03:17.pensions and year by year, just as your party and your government does

:03:18. > :03:22.now? What I would say to pensioners is, look what the Conservatives in

:03:23. > :03:27.government have done. Pensioners today are ?1250 a year better off as

:03:28. > :03:31.a result of action that has been taken. We were clear about the need

:03:32. > :03:36.to make sure we support people in old age and that is what we have

:03:37. > :03:40.done. That was not a yes, but here in Berkshire, and a lot of places,

:03:41. > :03:44.plenty of people like the idea of looking after pensioners. They have

:03:45. > :03:49.worked and paid National Insurance and taxes, so I think they deserve

:03:50. > :03:54.it as much as anyone else. If you can't look after the elderly, what

:03:55. > :03:58.can you do. If it can be done, stop it for them, they don't need it.

:03:59. > :04:03.Many of them put it straight in the bank. Theresa May may be about to

:04:04. > :04:07.upset an awful lot of voters. Even thinking about dropping the Tory

:04:08. > :04:11.promise to pensioners takes a leader very confident about this election,

:04:12. > :04:15.especially now she is protecting overseas spending at the same time.

:04:16. > :04:21.A big lead in the polls comes in handy if you are about to annoy

:04:22. > :04:29.pensioners. A big majority in the Commons, even more so. That deserves

:04:30. > :04:34.a hug, Jeremy Corbyn campaigning his way, to small crowds and big ones.

:04:35. > :04:39.No talk of saving on benefits here. The Corbyn way sounds like this.

:04:40. > :04:43.Theresa May seems incapable of answering any question about the

:04:44. > :04:48.protection of the triple lock on the state pension. Well, I give you that

:04:49. > :04:53.commitment now. Labour will maintain the triple lock. Standing by the

:04:54. > :05:00.triple lock, pensions up every year by inflation or average earnings, or

:05:01. > :05:05.2.5%. Sorry, I am not quite sure where I am going. Nor does anyone

:05:06. > :05:08.know for sure. The campaign has barely started. The Lib Dems look

:05:09. > :05:13.perky, sure that this election will be better than last time. We are the

:05:14. > :05:17.only clear opposition to the Conservatives, opposing a hard

:05:18. > :05:22.Brexit, exit from the single market, and being an effective opposition on

:05:23. > :05:25.every level. And on they go. Pollsters and pundits might think

:05:26. > :05:32.they know how this ends but there are 48 days until polling day.

:05:33. > :05:34.The Chancellor, Philip Hammond, has said he would prefer the Government

:05:35. > :05:38.Speaking to the BBC, he hinted that he would

:05:39. > :05:39.like the Conservative's 2015 manifesto promise not

:05:40. > :05:41.to raise income tax, VAT or national insurance

:05:42. > :05:48.He was talking to our economics editor Kamal Ahmed in Washington.

:05:49. > :05:50.It was the solemn pledge tweeted to the voter by David Cameron

:05:51. > :05:55.no increases in tax, VAT or national insurance.

:05:56. > :05:57.Will it be repeated before this election?

:05:58. > :05:59.Today the Chancellor, visiting Washington for a meeting

:06:00. > :06:04.of leading industrialised nations, hinted maybe not.

:06:05. > :06:07.I came into politics not to see taxes rising but to see

:06:08. > :06:12.the burden of taxation falling as our economy grows,

:06:13. > :06:16.and that remains my very clear political ambition.

:06:17. > :06:19.But you do not support specific tax pledges not to raise income tax,

:06:20. > :06:25.national insurance and VAT, because it would tie your hands?

:06:26. > :06:28.All Chancellors would prefer to have more flexibility in how they manage

:06:29. > :06:31.the economy and how they manage the overall tax burden down

:06:32. > :06:39.than to have their hands constrained.

:06:40. > :06:42.The problem with pledges - they tend to come unstuck.

:06:43. > :06:44.Here is the Chancellor on Budget day, announcing an increase

:06:45. > :06:47.to national insurance payments for the self-employed.

:06:48. > :06:52.There then followed a screeching U-turn after critics pointed out

:06:53. > :06:56.Mr Hammond had broken that 2015 pledge.

:06:57. > :06:57.The Chancellor is here in Washington

:06:58. > :07:04.but, frankly, his mind is on matters rather more domestic.

:07:05. > :07:06.In his interview with me, I think he went as far

:07:07. > :07:09.as he feels able to, given that the manifesto

:07:10. > :07:16.He is no fan of constraining promises, particularly on tax.

:07:17. > :07:22.He used one word over and over again - "flexibility".

:07:23. > :07:24.Mr Hammond has opened up a flank, and Labour attacked.

:07:25. > :07:28.I think he's recognising that he's got problems with the economy,

:07:29. > :07:32.he's got problems in the budgeting that he's done, and as a result

:07:33. > :07:35.of that there will be tax rises under a Conservative government

:07:36. > :07:43.As always, the big test in any election - the economy -

:07:44. > :07:46.and today's poor retail sales figures suggested that the increase

:07:47. > :07:49.in inflation is starting to bite and consumers

:07:50. > :07:54.Some might say you've called this election to get a mandate

:07:55. > :08:04.We've called the election because it will strengthen the Prime Minister's

:08:05. > :08:07.hand in the negotiations to get the right Brexit deal for Britain.

:08:08. > :08:14.it has been remarkably resilient over the last nine months.

:08:15. > :08:16.Just this week, the IMF revised up

:08:17. > :08:22.its forecast for Britain's economy this year to 2%.

:08:23. > :08:24.The cancer will return from his US trip at the weekend,

:08:25. > :08:29.where the promises the parties make two voters will be key.

:08:30. > :08:31.As far as Mr Hammond is concerned,

:08:32. > :08:34.the fewer, it would seem, the better.

:08:35. > :08:41.Let's speak to our deputy political editor, John Pienaar,

:08:42. > :08:46.Commitments in some areas by Theresa May and also

:08:47. > :08:58.How risky is this for the Prime Minister?

:08:59. > :09:03.Well, she is certainly risking upsetting a lot of the people who

:09:04. > :09:08.are most likely to turn out and vote on polling day, British pensioners.

:09:09. > :09:12.You could call it confidence, or economic necessity, if that promise

:09:13. > :09:16.is not in the Conservative manifesto. The truth is it would

:09:17. > :09:20.probably be quite a lot of both. On overseas aid, she is confident

:09:21. > :09:24.enough to take on some in her party and in Fleet Street who believe that

:09:25. > :09:28.more aid money should be spent closer to home. As for Jeremy

:09:29. > :09:31.Corbyn, his conviction is about public spending and protecting

:09:32. > :09:36.services and benefits. They are deep and they are sincere and they will

:09:37. > :09:40.be supported by many of his core supporters, loyal supporters. His

:09:41. > :09:44.trouble is that Theresa May has a lead on leadership and trust, and

:09:45. > :09:47.this election is so much about that. We have never had an election like

:09:48. > :09:49.this, except maybe for all the others.

:09:50. > :09:52.The French authorities have revealed that the man who shot and killed

:09:53. > :09:55.a police officer in Paris last night had attacked the police previously.

:09:56. > :09:58.Karim Cheurfi, who was 39, had been jailed in 2001 for firing

:09:59. > :10:01.But tonight the French authorities say he'd

:10:02. > :10:05.This latest attack comes as France prepares to go to the polls this

:10:06. > :10:08.weekend in the country's Presidential elections,

:10:09. > :10:10.and the issue of security has been seized on by the candidates,

:10:11. > :10:16.as Lucy Williamson reports from Paris.

:10:17. > :10:18.In this election, not everyone fighting for

:10:19. > :10:25.Last night, a lone attacker with an automatic weapon brought chaos

:10:26. > :10:35.His target - French police, patrolling a country on the cusp

:10:36. > :10:41.of an election after two years on high alert.

:10:42. > :10:43.This mobile phone footage shows the moment he killed a policeman

:10:44. > :10:47.and injured two others, before being shot dead

:10:48. > :10:52.The policeman he killed was identified today

:10:53. > :10:56.as Xavier Jugele, dead for doing his duty,

:10:57. > :11:04.The group calling itself Islamic State has claimed responsibility.

:11:05. > :11:08.The gunman named as 39-year-old Frenchman Karim Cheurfi.

:11:09. > :11:13.He had already served years in prison for attacking the police.

:11:14. > :11:17.Officers today searched his family house east of Paris.

:11:18. > :11:21.Three of those living there are now being questioned.

:11:22. > :11:24.Neighbours told us they didn't see the family very often.

:11:25. > :11:27.One man said he read about the attack in this morning's

:11:28. > :11:28.paper and discovered that Karim Cheurfi had been

:11:29. > :11:34.Today, another house, another neighbourhood rebranded

:11:35. > :11:39.as part of the story of France's terrorist attacks.

:11:42. > :11:44.as potential threats, the Security Services here

:11:45. > :11:51.This election was always seen as a target for terrorism.

:11:52. > :11:55.50,000 security forces have been brought in to secure the vote.

:11:56. > :11:57.The leading candidates have promised thousands more police

:13:11. > :13:13.The Health Care Commission told the Shrewsbury and Telford trust

:13:14. > :13:16.that its monitoring of babies' heart rates during labour wasn't good

:13:17. > :13:21.enough and that its training of staff was inadequate.

:13:58. > :14:00.Her heart rate went down, down and down.

:14:24. > :14:29.The Healthcare Commission said they should keep a record of foetal

:14:30. > :14:33.heart monitor traces, staff training needed updating

:14:34. > :14:37.and learning from clinical incidents had to improve.

:14:38. > :14:39.Two days ago, we asked the Trust to lay out

:14:40. > :14:41.the actions they'd taken following the Healthcare

:14:42. > :14:48.They failed to provide evidence that any changes had, in fact, been made.

:14:49. > :14:51.Instead, they say that every baby's death is investigated to ensure that

:14:52. > :14:53.lessons are learned and again, repeated their unreserved

:15:29. > :15:31.makes me sad as well, to think of all the people that have

:15:32. > :15:35.lost their children because they just haven't done

:25:09. > :25:12.here's Helen Willetts. Michael Buchanan,

:25:13. > :25:24.BBC News, Shropshire. The weather is going to get much

:25:25. > :25:33.colder and will give us a shock to the system. What is the difference

:25:34. > :25:38.today? A cold weather front. We're heading to May and talking about

:25:39. > :25:43.snow already. Tonight, just frost we are talking about. Low-level frost

:25:44. > :25:48.in the north. In the south, we should keep temperatures a little

:25:49. > :25:52.higher. It is sunshine amounts that is troubling this weekend. Sunny in

:25:53. > :25:56.the north, although cold, and we should see more sunshine then we

:25:57. > :26:00.have in the South as well, across the south-west in particular. We

:26:01. > :26:04.have the remnants of a weather giving us a headache, so hopefully

:26:05. > :26:08.it will be dry and bright with increasing amounts of sunshine.

:26:09. > :26:11.Another cloudy day in Northern Ireland but for Scotland more

:26:12. > :26:18.sunshine. Just wintry showers over the hills at this stage. But it will

:26:19. > :26:22.get colder. Not necessarily too much colder tomorrow night. But again,

:26:23. > :26:29.Sunday morning will have a touch of ground frost. It promises well for

:26:30. > :26:32.the marathon. Not great for spectators but the runners will

:26:33. > :26:37.appreciate the cooler weather. If the cloud breaks, it will get warm

:26:38. > :26:41.into the afternoon. And there is more sunshine on offer on Sunday but

:26:42. > :26:46.again, the North will see the onset of increasing wind and rain later

:26:47. > :26:50.on, with low-pressure approaching. For most of us, high pressure this

:26:51. > :26:56.weekend will give dry weather. Here comes the shock. As the low-pressure

:26:57. > :27:00.moves away, we get a blast of Arctic air. Temperatures significantly

:27:01. > :27:06.lower than average, accentuated by the cold northerly wind. Wintry

:27:07. > :27:09.showers will be widespread. Hale, thunderstorms, sleet and snow, even

:27:10. > :27:15.in southern areas, and at lower levels we could see a dusting of

:27:16. > :27:19.snow. Just to reiterate, not this weekend, which looks cooler, but

:27:20. > :27:22.there should be dry weather with sunny spells. Not bad for running.

:27:23. > :27:24.That's all from the BBC News At Six, so it's goodbye from me,
