The Government says no cuts to foreign aid, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
but stops short of promising to keep pensions rising as they do now. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
As Theresa May campaigned in Berkshire, her Chancellor | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
suggested a possible softening of the Government's | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
All Chancellors would prefer to have more flexibility in how | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
they manage the economy, and how they manage the overall tax | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
burden down, than to have their hands constrained. | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
On day three of campaigning, we'll bring you all the latest. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |

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

We'll look ahead to all four semi-finals, | :01:05. | :01:05. | |
starting with Chelsea's bid for the double. | :01:06. | :01:30. | |
Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
On day three of the campaign trail the Prime Minister | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
and the Chancellor have given their first hints | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
of what will and what won't be in the Conservative manifesto. | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
Theresa May says she'll keep the current spending on foreign aid, | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
despite pressure from within her own party to cut it. | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
But she would not commit to keep the so-called | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
triple lock on pensions, which guarantees they rise | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
by inflation, average earnings or 2.5% each year, | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
And the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, has hinted that he would like to end | :01:56. | :02:04. | |
the party's promise not to increase taxes. | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
Our first report tonight is from our deputy political | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
Trust me, I'm a politician. No leader stays popular forever but | :02:10. | :02:22. | |
Theresa May clearly feels that she is well liked enough for now to make | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
promises that some might like but others Wilmot. She looks confident, | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
and the message is one we have heard before and will again. What drives | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
me, the passion that I have in politics, is to make the United | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Kingdom a country that works for everyone, not just the privileged | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
few. That meant sticking to Britain's target spending on foreign | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
aid, which some right-wingers want cut. We need to look at how it is | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
spent and make sure we are able to spend the money in the most | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
effective way. What about the other costly pledge, keeping up the value | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
of pensions? Today, you are telling the country you are a leader people | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
can trust. Can pensioners trust you to go on raising their state | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
pensions and year by year, just as your party and your government does | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
now? What I would say to pensioners is, look what the Conservatives in | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
government have done. Pensioners today are ?1250 a year better off as | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
a result of action that has been taken. We were clear about the need | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
to make sure we support people in old age and that is what we have | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
done. That was not a yes, but here in Berkshire, and a lot of places, | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
plenty of people like the idea of looking after pensioners. They have | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
worked and paid National Insurance and taxes, so I think they deserve | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
it as much as anyone else. If you can't look after the elderly, what | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
can you do. If it can be done, stop it for them, they don't need it. | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
Many of them put it straight in the bank. Theresa May may be about to | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
upset an awful lot of voters. Even thinking about dropping the Tory | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
promise to pensioners takes a leader very confident about this election, | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
especially now she is protecting overseas spending at the same time. | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
A big lead in the polls comes in handy if you are about to annoy | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
pensioners. A big majority in the Commons, even more so. That deserves | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
a hug, Jeremy Corbyn campaigning his way, to small crowds and big ones. | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
No talk of saving on benefits here. The Corbyn way sounds like this. | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Theresa May seems incapable of answering any question about the | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
protection of the triple lock on the state pension. Well, I give you that | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
commitment now. Labour will maintain the triple lock. Standing by the | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
triple lock, pensions up every year by inflation or average earnings, or | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
2.5%. Sorry, I am not quite sure where I am going. Nor does anyone | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
know for sure. The campaign has barely started. The Lib Dems look | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
perky, sure that this election will be better than last time. We are the | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
only clear opposition to the Conservatives, opposing a hard | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
Brexit, exit from the single market, and being an effective opposition on | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
every level. And on they go. Pollsters and pundits might think | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
they know how this ends but there are 48 days until polling day. | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
The Chancellor, Philip Hammond, has said he would prefer the Government | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
Speaking to the BBC, he hinted that he would | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
like the Conservative's 2015 manifesto promise not | :05:39. | :05:39. | |
to raise income tax, VAT or national insurance | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
He was talking to our economics editor Kamal Ahmed in Washington. | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
It was the solemn pledge tweeted to the voter by David Cameron | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
no increases in tax, VAT or national insurance. | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
Will it be repeated before this election? | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
Today the Chancellor, visiting Washington for a meeting | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
of leading industrialised nations, hinted maybe not. | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
I came into politics not to see taxes rising but to see | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
the burden of taxation falling as our economy grows, | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
and that remains my very clear political ambition. | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
But you do not support specific tax pledges not to raise income tax, | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
national insurance and VAT, because it would tie your hands? | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
All Chancellors would prefer to have more flexibility in how they manage | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
the economy and how they manage the overall tax burden down | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
than to have their hands constrained. | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
The problem with pledges - they tend to come unstuck. | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
Here is the Chancellor on Budget day, announcing an increase | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
to national insurance payments for the self-employed. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
There then followed a screeching U-turn after critics pointed out | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
Mr Hammond had broken that 2015 pledge. | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
The Chancellor is here in Washington | :06:57. | :06:57. | |
but, frankly, his mind is on matters rather more domestic. | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
In his interview with me, I think he went as far | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
as he feels able to, given that the manifesto | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
He is no fan of constraining promises, particularly on tax. | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
He used one word over and over again - "flexibility". | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
Mr Hammond has opened up a flank, and Labour attacked. | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
I think he's recognising that he's got problems with the economy, | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
he's got problems in the budgeting that he's done, and as a result | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
of that there will be tax rises under a Conservative government | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
As always, the big test in any election - the economy - | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
and today's poor retail sales figures suggested that the increase | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
in inflation is starting to bite and consumers | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
Some might say you've called this election to get a mandate | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
We've called the election because it will strengthen the Prime Minister's | :07:55. | :08:04. | |
hand in the negotiations to get the right Brexit deal for Britain. | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
it has been remarkably resilient over the last nine months. | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
Just this week, the IMF revised up | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
its forecast for Britain's economy this year to 2%. | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
The cancer will return from his US trip at the weekend, | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
where the promises the parties make two voters will be key. | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
As far as Mr Hammond is concerned, | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
the fewer, it would seem, the better. | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
Let's speak to our deputy political editor, John Pienaar, | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
Commitments in some areas by Theresa May and also | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
How risky is this for the Prime Minister? | :08:47. | :08:58. | |
Well, she is certainly risking upsetting a lot of the people who | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
are most likely to turn out and vote on polling day, British pensioners. | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
You could call it confidence, or economic necessity, if that promise | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
is not in the Conservative manifesto. The truth is it would | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
probably be quite a lot of both. On overseas aid, she is confident | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
enough to take on some in her party and in Fleet Street who believe that | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
more aid money should be spent closer to home. As for Jeremy | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
Corbyn, his conviction is about public spending and protecting | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
services and benefits. They are deep and they are sincere and they will | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
be supported by many of his core supporters, loyal supporters. His | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
trouble is that Theresa May has a lead on leadership and trust, and | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
this election is so much about that. We have never had an election like | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
this, except maybe for all the others. | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
The French authorities have revealed that the man who shot and killed | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
a police officer in Paris last night had attacked the police previously. | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
Karim Cheurfi, who was 39, had been jailed in 2001 for firing | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
But tonight the French authorities say he'd | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
This latest attack comes as France prepares to go to the polls this | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
weekend in the country's Presidential elections, | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
and the issue of security has been seized on by the candidates, | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
as Lucy Williamson reports from Paris. | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
In this election, not everyone fighting for | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
Last night, a lone attacker with an automatic weapon brought chaos | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
His target - French police, patrolling a country on the cusp | :10:26. | :10:35. | |
of an election after two years on high alert. | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
This mobile phone footage shows the moment he killed a policeman | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
and injured two others, before being shot dead | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
The policeman he killed was identified today | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
as Xavier Jugele, dead for doing his duty, | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
The group calling itself Islamic State has claimed responsibility. | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
The gunman named as 39-year-old Frenchman Karim Cheurfi. | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
He had already served years in prison for attacking the police. | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
Officers today searched his family house east of Paris. | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
Three of those living there are now being questioned. | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
Neighbours told us they didn't see the family very often. | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
One man said he read about the attack in this morning's | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
paper and discovered that Karim Cheurfi had been | :11:28. | :11:28. | |
Today, another house, another neighbourhood rebranded | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
as part of the story of France's terrorist attacks. | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
With thousands of people from ordinary areas listed | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
as potential threats, the Security Services here | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
This election was always seen as a target for terrorism. | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
50,000 security forces have been brought in to secure the vote. | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
The leading candidates have promised thousands more police | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
And when it comes to being tough on terrorism, it's sometimes hard | :11:58. | :12:03. | |

France is locked in a debate over how to stop attacks like this. | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
Even harder perhaps to stop them influencing its democratic | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
The health trust facing an investigation into the avoidable | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
deaths of babies was told by regulators a decade | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
ago that its maternity services needed to improve. | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
The Health Care Commission told the Shrewsbury and Telford trust | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
that its monitoring of babies' heart rates during labour wasn't good | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
enough and that its training of staff was inadequate. | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
Our social affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan reports. | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
I had to give her medication at certain times, make | :13:25. | :13:32. | |
I was more of a nurse and a carer than a mum. | :13:33. | :13:40. | |
Abbey was born in 2004 with brain injuries, | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
including severe epilepsy and cerebral palsy. | :13:43. | :13:43. | |
Staff at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital failed to promptly | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
deliver her, despite foetal heart traces | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
The errors led to Abbey dying aged just 17 months. | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
Her heart rate went down, down and down. | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
Obviously they tried to move me to see if they could find a trace. | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
If they would have done their job and got me into theatre | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
when she was dropping, as in her heart rate dropping, | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
Following Abbey's death in 2007, the BBC's Panorama programme learned | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
the NHS regulator wrote to the Trust urging them to improve | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
The Healthcare Commission said they should keep a record of foetal | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
heart monitor traces, staff training needed updating | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
and learning from clinical incidents had to improve. | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
Two days ago, we asked the Trust to lay out | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
the actions they'd taken following the Healthcare | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
They failed to provide evidence that any changes had, in fact, been made. | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
Instead, they say that every baby's death is investigated to ensure that | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
lessons are learned and again, repeated their unreserved | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
We were prepared to have a child, to change our lives completely. And | :14:54. | :15:11. | |
that didn't happen. Staff at the Trust failed | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
to properly monitor his heart rate His heart-broken parents | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
are astonished the Trust was told a decade ago | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
to improve its maternity care. It makes me angry, but it | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
makes me sad as well, to think of all the people that have | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
lost their children because they just haven't done | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
anything, they haven't acted. This memory bear is Katie and Matt's | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
lasting link to Kai. Years after the Trust | :15:40. | :15:52. | |
was told to improve care, their son is one of several babies | :15:53. | :15:55. | |

IN GERMAN: Die Website, titaniumstresser.net. | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
The Titanium Stresser, a cyber weapon | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
designed to shut down websites unless their owners paid a ransom. | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
It bombarded targets with data, using DDOS, | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
or distributed denial of service, attacks, | :17:30. | :17:31. | |
and it was created by Adam Mudd when he was just 16. | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
Internationally, this tool caused a considerable amount of damage... | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
making hundreds of thousands of pounds. | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
But after a massive attack in the US, | :17:46. | :17:46. | |
the software was traced to his home in Hertfordshire. | :17:47. | :17:55. | |
1.7 million DDOSs, making nearly $400,000 - | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
that is like an industrial scale for the purposes of cybercrime. | :17:59. | :18:02. | |

Len McCluskey, leader of Britain's biggest trade union, Unite, | :19:28. | :19:37. | |
has been re-elected as its general secretary | :19:38. | :19:38. | |
from his more moderate rival, Gerard Coyne, | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
who was suspended from his post yesterday pending an investigation. | :19:45. | :19:47. | |

German police have arrested a man suspected of setting off the bombs | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
that hit the Borussia Dortmund football team's bus last week. | :19:59. | :20:00. | |

and Aston Villa defender Ugo Ehiogu, who's died at the age of 44. | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
He collapsed yesterday while coaching at | :20:23. | :20:24. | |
Tottenham's training ground and died of cardiac arrest in hospital, | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
as sports correspondent Joe Wilson reports. | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
the time has just gone quarter past six, our top story this evening. Ugo | :20:33. | :20:45. | |
Ehiogu was a rock, a central defender as strong and imposing as | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
any in football. Now, at the age of 44, he has died. His passing was | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
that most poignantly at Aston Villa, where he played for nearly a, a | :20:55. | :20:57. | |

the age of 44, he has died. His passing was that most poignantly at | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
Aston Villa, where he played for nearly a decade. Well, all shocked | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
and we are all shocked and devastated by the news that somebody | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
so young who making his way was making his way as a talented coach | :21:09. | :21:17. | |

Ehiogu was making his name as a coach with Tottenham. He barely | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
looks like he had aged since his bling days. He suffered cardiac | :21:26. | :21:30. | |

sight on the streets thousands of naked | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
people painted blue. Now they're getting the chance | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
to see the results for the first time in a new art exhibition to mark | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
Hull as this year's City of Culture. The photographs were taken around | :22:28. | :22:31. | |

from a distance, it looked With so many people from Hull | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
taking part, it led to more I bumped into somebody from work, | :23:24. | :23:33. | |
which was a bit awkward. Everyone was there | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
to do the same thing. Once everyone was in the same | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
situation and they got their kit How did the conversation go | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
when you bumped into It was very much eye to eye | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
and everything was kept above All the participants have been | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
invited to this evening's launch to find out which parts | :23:54. | :23:57. | |

look back on it fondly. The day Hull turned blue, now making | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
a lot of people happy. the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
as you haven't heard them before. Last week, Harry Styles | :24:20. | :24:29. | |
went straight to number one with his debut single, | :24:30. | :24:31. | |
Sign Of The Times. Or will Ed Sheeran | :24:32. | :24:33. | |
retain that top spot? He had 13 weeks at number one | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
with Shape Of You before Harry came along | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
and spoiled his Easter. The Royal couple helped Greg James | :24:44. | :24:45. | |
kick off the official chart to talk about their | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
mental-health campaign. Prince William also revealed | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
that he had previously texted in to Radio 1 | :24:59. | :25:00. | |
under an assumed name. Time for a look at the weather, | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
here's Helen Willetts. Michael Buchanan, | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
BBC News, Shropshire. The weather is going to get much | :25:13. | :25:24. | |
colder and will give us a shock to the system. What is the difference | :25:25. | :25:33. | |
today? A cold weather front. We're heading to May and talking about | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
snow already. Tonight, just frost we are talking about. Low-level frost | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
in the north. In the south, we should keep temperatures a little | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
higher. It is sunshine amounts that is troubling this weekend. Sunny in | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
the north, although cold, and we should see more sunshine then we | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
have in the South as well, across the south-west in particular. We | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
have the remnants of a weather giving us a headache, so hopefully | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
it will be dry and bright with increasing amounts of sunshine. | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
Another cloudy day in Northern Ireland but for Scotland more | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
sunshine. Just wintry showers over the hills at this stage. But it will | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
get colder. Not necessarily too much colder tomorrow night. But again, | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
Sunday morning will have a touch of ground frost. It promises well for | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
the marathon. Not great for spectators but the runners will | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
appreciate the cooler weather. If the cloud breaks, it will get warm | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
into the afternoon. And there is more sunshine on offer on Sunday but | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
again, the North will see the onset of increasing wind and rain later | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
on, with low-pressure approaching. For most of us, high pressure this | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
weekend will give dry weather. Here comes the shock. As the low-pressure | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
moves away, we get a blast of Arctic air. Temperatures significantly | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
lower than average, accentuated by the cold northerly wind. Wintry | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
showers will be widespread. Hale, thunderstorms, sleet and snow, even | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
in southern areas, and at lower levels we could see a dusting of | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
snow. Just to reiterate, not this weekend, which looks cooler, but | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
there should be dry weather with sunny spells. Not bad for running. | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
