:03:09. > :03:14.you to believe she won't be messed around. Whoever wins on the 8th of

:03:57. > :04:00.June. Yes, she did just accuse some in the EU of interfering in our
:04:01. > :04:05.election. The events of the last few days have shown that whatever our
:04:06. > :04:08.wishes and however reasonable the positions of Europe's other leaders,
:04:09. > :04:14.there are some in Brussels who do not want these talks to succeed, who
:04:15. > :04:18.do not want Britain to prosper. This Brexit negotiation is central to
:04:19. > :04:23.everything. If we don't get the negotiation right, your economic
:04:24. > :04:30.security and prosperity will be put at risk and the opportunity you seek
:04:31. > :04:34.for your families simply not happen. If we do not stand up and get this
:04:35. > :04:41.negotiation right, we risk the secure and well-paid jobs we want
:04:42. > :04:45.for our children and our children's children too. If we don't get the
:04:46. > :04:52.negotiation right, if we let the bureaucrats of Brussels run over us,
:04:53. > :04:56.we will lose the chance to build a fairer society with real opportunity
:04:57. > :05:00.for all. The last few days have seen the intensity of the jousting over
:05:01. > :05:04.the EU become even more troublesome, but using all the trappings of
:05:05. > :05:08.Downing Street, Theresa May has just upped the ante even further, even
:05:09. > :05:13.accusing some in Brussels of trying to make trouble in the general
:05:14. > :05:19.election. Just who could she have had in her sights? Chief negotiator
:05:20. > :05:22.at the EU Commission? I give the floor to Michel Barnier. Days after
:05:23. > :05:26.a tense Downing Street dinner, among suggestions that the UK would have
:05:27. > :05:33.to pay 100 billion as we leave the EU. Some have created the illusion
:05:34. > :05:40.that Brexit would have no material impact on our lives, or that
:05:41. > :05:47.negotiations can be concluded quickly and painlessly. This is not
:05:48. > :05:56.the case. More cryptically, less diplomatically, he said: just like
:05:57. > :06:02.when hill walking, you have to learn the rules, or accidents happen. The
:06:03. > :06:07.Government didn't start the day with a subtle message. The Tories were
:06:08. > :06:11.eager to make disputed claims about Labour's plan for tax. The forget
:06:12. > :06:17.that, every question was about the possible bill from Brussels, and
:06:18. > :06:21.rather than ramp up the row, those two had tried to turn it down. Can I
:06:22. > :06:23.ask you both not to hide behind the fact that there will be
:06:24. > :06:27.negotiations? In this election, don't voters deserve to know how
:06:28. > :06:35.much of that taxpayers cash they may be asked to stump up? Is that figure
:06:36. > :06:38.closer to zero or 100 billion? The public want one thing. They want a
:06:39. > :06:46.good outcome to this negotiation, the best possible outcome. We do
:06:47. > :06:49.that in the negotiating room, not by negotiating with a megaphone. I am
:06:50. > :06:54.not surprised people are manoeuvring for opening advantage in that
:06:55. > :07:01.negotiation. That approach long gone by the afternoon, above all else, it
:07:02. > :07:07.is election time. And Brexit creates opportunities and problems for every
:07:08. > :07:12.party. I voted Leave, and I am proud to have voted Leave, and I knew what
:07:13. > :07:16.I was voting for. The real message out of this spat between Juncker and
:07:17. > :07:21.May is that this will watch -- this is what will happen over the next
:07:22. > :07:23.two years. You and our children will have a deal with you have to live
:07:24. > :07:27.with for the next several decades, and none of us will be given a say.
:07:28. > :07:31.Theresa May have some formidable foes, and they all use this against
:07:32. > :07:35.her. What we have seen today is her trying to make the EU bogeyman in
:07:36. > :07:39.order to do that, but she's playing a dangerous game because by
:07:40. > :07:42.poisoning the atmosphere of these negotiations, she risks getting a
:07:43. > :07:48.bad Deal no deal. Her rivals wonder if she really means it. I don't
:07:49. > :07:50.think anyone in Brussels really believes that Theresa May is
:07:51. > :07:56.prepared to walk away without signing a comprehensive deal. But it
:07:57. > :08:01.is labour that is vulnerable in a big way. Theresa May is after their
:08:02. > :08:04.traditional support. We will negotiate a Brexit that works for
:08:05. > :08:08.all, for the many, not the few. We won't threaten Europe on the way
:08:09. > :08:12.into Brexit and above all in this election campaign, we will put
:08:13. > :08:17.forward a proposal and a plan for Britain which is about dealing with
:08:18. > :08:20.inequality and injustice. Behind the gates, Theresa May was never going
:08:21. > :08:25.to be the kind of politician simply to agree. But even in the heat of an
:08:26. > :08:30.election campaign, strong words cannot be unsaid. It was just a
:08:31. > :08:34.couple of days ago that the Prime Minister was dismissing the idea of
:08:35. > :08:40.a spat between her and Brussels as just gossip, and yet this afternoon
:08:41. > :08:43.this full throated attack. It is not unusual for British Prime Minister
:08:44. > :08:48.is to have a pop at officials or diplomats or bureaucrats across the
:08:49. > :08:52.Channel. That is a political tactic as old as the hills. But for Theresa
:08:53. > :08:55.May to do it right now, not just in a general election campaign but with
:08:56. > :09:00.local elections tomorrow right around the country, that has some
:09:01. > :09:04.political charge. And here is why. The Tories believe that there are
:09:05. > :09:08.millions of votes that they could grab up from voters who chose Ukip
:09:09. > :09:13.in the last couple of elections, or from ordinary Labour voters who were
:09:14. > :09:17.really enthusiastic about leaving the European Union. Of course,
:09:18. > :09:20.Theresa May has a reputation for being stubborn in talks, being
:09:21. > :09:24.tough. She was never the kind of Prime Minister who was just going to
:09:25. > :09:29.roll over in the face of Brussels opening gambit. But this is also
:09:30. > :09:31.about political timing, and that is much of what explains this
:09:32. > :09:36.extraordinary statement this afternoon. The difficulty for her
:09:37. > :09:40.may well be, if she ends up back in power, that such strong accusations
:09:41. > :09:45.like this don't necessarily melt away with the passage of time.
:09:46. > :09:48.Laura, thank you. So while Theresa May has been
:09:49. > :09:50.arguing that the election is all about who is more able
:09:51. > :09:53.to handle tough Brexit talks, Labour turned
:09:54. > :09:55.its attention to the NHS today. The party says it will suspend plans
:09:56. > :09:59.for the health service in England which entail the closure
:10:00. > :10:01.of some hospital services. The proposals from NHS England,
:10:02. > :10:03.which are supported by the Government,
:10:04. > :10:04.are aimed at treating Our Health Editor Hugh
:10:05. > :10:16.Pym has the story. Protests against NHS closures are
:10:17. > :10:20.nothing new, but in some communities like Huddersfield, concerns about
:10:21. > :10:25.cuts are growing. This protest last autumn was in reaction to plans to
:10:26. > :10:27.remove A services at the local hospital. Campaigners say people
:10:28. > :10:33.will suffer because of longer journey times. Patients are going to
:10:34. > :10:36.be disbursed all around the north of the country. Those will involve
:10:37. > :10:42.longer trips and the longer the trip, the more danger there is in
:10:43. > :10:45.the situation. Labour's John Ashworth, at a meeting of activists
:10:46. > :10:49.from Huddersfield and around Yorkshire, said he wanted to halt
:10:50. > :10:54.closures, specifically by stalling NHS reform plans in England. We will
:10:55. > :10:59.say, let's have a moratorium on them and let's step back and have a full
:11:00. > :11:02.review of them. When we reviewed them, must involve clinicians, but
:11:03. > :11:06.let's involve the people as well. So far, they have been cut out of the
:11:07. > :11:10.decisions, and we don't think that is fair. The NHS reform document are
:11:11. > :11:14.known as sustainability and transformation plans and have been
:11:15. > :11:18.published in 44 areas across England. Some involve hospital bed
:11:19. > :11:23.cuts and service reductions, with funds reinvested in community care.
:11:24. > :11:26.The Southwest London plan involves the possible reduction of five
:11:27. > :11:31.hospital sites to four. Local campaigners say this one, St Helier,
:11:32. > :11:35.faces closure. Upper Bann's authors say that resources will be shifted
:11:36. > :11:40.into local area teams involving GPs, social care staff and nurses,
:11:41. > :11:44.providing care closer to people's homes. The Conservatives, Jeremy
:11:45. > :11:48.Hunt said in a written statement that Labour's plan was nonsensical
:11:49. > :11:52.as the party had previously backed the reforms. He said they were
:11:53. > :11:56.supported by top doctors and nurses in the NHS and would improve patient
:11:57. > :12:00.care. The Liberal Democrats said the real issue was lack of investment in
:12:01. > :12:05.the NHS. If there is not enough money in the system, however you
:12:06. > :12:09.reject those services, you're never going to be able to provide the
:12:10. > :12:13.quality of care that is needed. That is why as a party, the Liberal
:12:14. > :12:18.Democrats are calling for significant investment to be made in
:12:19. > :12:21.the NHS. NHS leaders say in response to rising patient demand and
:12:22. > :12:25.stretched resources, the plans are all about treating more people away
:12:26. > :12:29.from hospitals. Whoever is in government can expect more intense

:25:52. > :25:55.artists unfairly overlooked and decided to open it up to those who
:25:56. > :26:01.deserve a second chance or will flourish later in life. It has
:26:02. > :26:06.certainly been a year of flourishing for Lubaina Himid and her life's

:26:11. > :26:15.home. Where they can look at these cutouts and think, looks a bit like
:26:16. > :26:19.my anti all that's kind of got the demeanour I've got, or, it's like
:26:20. > :26:24.being at home, it's like being amongst people you know. It's about

:26:54. > :26:58.that Brussels is interfering in the election as pure fantasy. They say
:26:59. > :27:01.the European Mac -- they say the European Mac is in favour of the
:27:02. > :27:04.election and want a British governor to a public backing so they can
:27:05. > :27:09.begin the Brexit big initiations. They are absolutely saying there is
:27:10. > :27:12.no interference at all on this side. They believe their interpretation of
:27:13. > :27:14.the Prime Minister 's comments is that she's in the middle of an
:27:15. > :27:18.election campaign so they don't believe that you would play down a
:27:19. > :27:23.row with Brussels if she thinks it can get her public backing. But none
:27:24. > :27:28.of this helps the Brexit process get off to a favourable start even
