:00:10. > :00:11.of the election campaign takes place this evening.
:00:12. > :00:14.In a last-minute change, Labour's Jeremy Corbyn
:00:15. > :00:21.The Labour leader said he'd changed his mind on taking part
:00:22. > :00:24.because voters deserved to see leaders being challenged, and he
:00:25. > :00:32.I invite her to go to Cambridge and debate her policies,
:00:33. > :00:35.debate her record, debate their plans, debate her proposals
:00:36. > :00:42.and make the public make up their mind.
:00:43. > :00:44.But Mrs May, visiting the West Country today,
:00:45. > :00:50.said she preferred to be meeting voters on the campaign trail.
:00:51. > :00:54.I think debates where the politicians are squabbling among
:00:55. > :00:58.themselves doesn't do anything for the process of electioneering.
:00:59. > :01:01.I think, actually, it is about getting out
:01:02. > :01:04.and about meeting voters and hearing directly from voters.
:01:05. > :01:11.15 years in jail for the surgeon who carried out needless operations.
:01:12. > :01:14.The judge said Ian Paterson was driven by material rewards.
:01:15. > :01:21.Over four years of trauma and stress in trying to bring
:01:22. > :01:27.No amount of prison sentence will ever compensate what myself
:01:28. > :01:32.and the other people affected have gone through.
:01:33. > :01:36.At least 90 people are killed in the Afghan capital, Kabul,
:01:37. > :01:40.after a truck bomb explodes in the diplomatic quarter.
:01:41. > :01:43.And to boldly go where no spacecraft has gone before.
:01:44. > :01:48.Nasa's plans to probe the sun's atmosphere.
:01:49. > :01:50.And coming up in the sport on BBC News...
:01:51. > :01:54.Defending champion Novak Djokovic and the king of clay, Rafa Nadal,
:01:55. > :02:19.both ease into the third round of the French Open.
:02:20. > :02:24.We're at the Senate House of the university, the venue for one
:02:25. > :02:27.of the biggest debates of this election campaign, with just eight
:02:28. > :02:32.Seven party representatives will be taking part,
:02:33. > :02:35.including the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, who announced earlier
:02:36. > :02:39.today that he would, after all, be attending the debate.
:02:40. > :02:42.But the Prime Minister, Theresa May, will not be here.
:02:43. > :02:45.She says she'd rather be out meeting voters on the campaign trail.
:02:46. > :02:49.The stakes are high because tonight's debate takes place
:02:50. > :02:51.amid suggestions in some opinion polls that the Conservative lead
:02:52. > :02:56.Our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, has more
:02:57. > :02:58.on the day's campaigning and the final preparations
:02:59. > :03:14.London, nine o'clock in the morning, based ago. A rare sight, an
:03:15. > :03:17.old-fashioned press conference. Labour attacking the Tories on
:03:18. > :03:23.public services and Jeremy Corbyn still quite over whether he will go
:03:24. > :03:32.to the debate. Would you attend the BBC debate? Come on, Prime Minister,
:03:33. > :03:35.come and have a chat! I can be ever so polite! There are number of
:03:36. > :03:43.questions I want to put to you. Rather than accept the invitation,
:03:44. > :03:47.Theresa May was up early. In a campaign classic, sampling the
:03:48. > :03:54.produce at a county show. Not welcomed by all people, notably, in
:03:55. > :04:01.part of the country, the south-west, the Tories are trying to defend. But
:04:02. > :04:06.elsewhere, Labour and the leader's rides are enjoying being the
:04:07. > :04:16.insurgent underdog. -- Labour's crowds. It is just amazing. Vote for
:04:17. > :04:20.me and not that horrible man. I have come to see the horrible man because
:04:21. > :04:24.he is not horrible, he is very sensible. He is readable to people
:04:25. > :04:30.and he understands what young people want. I hear is welcome, ready to
:04:31. > :04:36.commit to the debate, with or without. I invite her to go to
:04:37. > :04:41.Cambridge and debater policies and record and plans, their proposals,
:04:42. > :04:47.and let the public make up their mind. On the move but heading the
:04:48. > :04:52.other way. The Prime Minister will not respond to heckles or agree to
:04:53. > :05:01.those chanted demands to show her face tonight. Staff at this factory
:05:02. > :05:06.in Bath did try to put on the spot but uploaded when she was asked
:05:07. > :05:14.about not showing tonight. Could she really love things off? Look... He
:05:15. > :05:20.is up for the head-to-head debate, does this suggest you are frightened
:05:21. > :05:24.of taking him on directly? I have been taking Jeremy Corbyn on
:05:25. > :05:28.directly every week in Prime Minister's Questions and actually,
:05:29. > :05:31.yes, public scrutiny is for the election campaign but that is why
:05:32. > :05:38.taking questions from members of the public who are going to be voting on
:05:39. > :05:42.the 8th of June is so important. The risk is he just looks scared. Isn't
:05:43. > :05:46.your decision not to take part and metaphor for your campaign? Very
:05:47. > :05:53.happy to repeatedly criticised the Labour Party but for your own plans,
:05:54. > :05:56.the reluctance to give us much detail, on Brexit, the future
:05:57. > :06:00.immigration system, how many people will use the winter fuel allowance?
:06:01. > :06:03.What I have done in terms of the manifesto is be open with the
:06:04. > :06:07.British people about the great challenges we face as a country over
:06:08. > :06:12.the next few years and beyond. And how we will address those
:06:13. > :06:16.challenges. And you talk about the Brexit negotiations, I have set out
:06:17. > :06:20.clearly what our 12 objectives are for those Brexit negotiations. That
:06:21. > :06:25.is the right thing to do. Do people not want more from you? You
:06:26. > :06:30.basically are saying that in many of these big issues, I will get back to
:06:31. > :06:34.you? I think what we owe to people is to be open about the challenges
:06:35. > :06:40.we face as a country and be open with them about the solutions were
:06:41. > :06:45.offering. In campaigns, the path is often less smooth. Those who start
:06:46. > :06:53.out in front. Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Bath. The debate will take
:06:54. > :06:57.part in the Senate House in Cambridge. John Pienaar is here. The
:06:58. > :07:02.prospects of this debate have changed given the change of mind of
:07:03. > :07:06.Jeremy Corbyn? He pulled off a political ambush by turning up at
:07:07. > :07:10.the last minute unexpectedly, he has made Theresa May look conspicuous by
:07:11. > :07:15.her absence and that is the idea. Jeremy Corbyn in this debate will
:07:16. > :07:21.start off trying to make Theresa May looks scared, running scared, while
:07:22. > :07:26.he is the leader who will want to engage and get stuck in. Whether he
:07:27. > :07:29.pulls this off depends because for a number of those reasons on the
:07:30. > :07:34.platform, they will be there to stop him. Amber Rudd is one of them, the
:07:35. > :07:40.Home Secretary deep in favour of Theresa May, she says it is to and
:07:41. > :07:45.frustrate the Labour Party leader. This is one of the biggest debates,
:07:46. > :07:50.what is at stake? This debate, in particular, is as near as we will
:07:51. > :07:55.get to contact sport in this campaign. It has the potential to
:07:56. > :07:59.deliver a very big moment, maybe the defining moment. Whether it delivers
:08:00. > :08:03.one of those moments that moves the market and has an outcome on this
:08:04. > :08:11.election, that is what we're here to find out. Thank you very much. John
:08:12. > :08:14.Pienaar, there. Plenty of noises here, the crowd is gathering and the
:08:15. > :08:16.audience has arrived to make their way into the Senate House. A great
:08:17. > :08:19.air of excitement. And a quick reminder that tonight's
:08:20. > :08:21.BBC Election Debate, featuring seven party
:08:22. > :08:23.representatives and chaired by my colleague, Mishal Husein,
:08:24. > :08:26.will be on BBC One and the BBC But for now, from Cambridge,
:08:27. > :08:35.it's back to George. A breast surgeon has been sentenced
:08:36. > :08:38.to 15 years in prison for carrying out needless and life-changing
:08:39. > :08:42.operations on patients. Ian Paterson, who's 59,
:08:43. > :08:44.was convicted of 17 counts of wounding with intent and three
:08:45. > :08:48.of unlawful wounding Jurors were told he exaggerated
:08:49. > :08:53.the risk of cancer to persuade his Though the case related to ten
:08:54. > :09:00.patients, it's thought many more Our health editor,
:09:01. > :09:05.Hugh Pym, reports. A rogue surgeon who thought
:09:06. > :09:08.he was untouchable. He had the total trust
:09:09. > :09:10.of vulnerable patients, Some of his victims who suffered
:09:11. > :09:22.from the operations he carried out gathered before
:09:23. > :09:25.the sentencing this morning. Then they marched together into
:09:26. > :09:27.Nottingham Crown Court determined Many warned of a cancer
:09:28. > :09:33.risk had breast surgery They sat in court watching Ian
:09:34. > :09:40.Paterson, head bowed in the dock. Sentencing him, Mr Justice Jeremy
:09:41. > :09:50.Baker said, in pursuit of your own self aggrandisement
:09:51. > :09:53.and the material rewards it brought from your private practice,
:09:54. > :09:55.you lost sight of the fact you were carrying out
:09:56. > :09:56.significant surgical You deliberately played
:09:57. > :09:59.upon their worst fears. Either by inventing or deliberately
:10:00. > :10:01.exaggerating the risks The court also heard
:10:02. > :10:06.that his former patients endured pain and discomfort,
:10:07. > :10:08.with some suffering long-term complications,
:10:09. > :10:12.anxiety and depression. We may never know the real reason
:10:13. > :10:26.why he acted in such an evil way. Throughout the trial he has made
:10:27. > :10:29.no attempt to show any And may be revealing his true
:10:30. > :10:38.character rather than the charming professional man we
:10:39. > :10:40.all thought he was. Some questioned Paterson's 15
:10:41. > :10:42.year prison sentence. He should be released on licence
:10:43. > :10:46.after seven and a half years. We have all been given
:10:47. > :10:50.a life sentence. He is just going to walk away a free
:10:51. > :10:53.man after seven and a half years. Yet every morning we look
:10:54. > :10:56.in the mirror and the scars So I think at the least
:10:57. > :11:00.he should serve the 15 For the victims, the battle
:11:01. > :11:03.doesn't end here. Their lawyers are preparing
:11:04. > :11:06.a High Court civil action to be Seeking damages from the hospitals
:11:07. > :11:12.and Paterson himself. Solicitors said they're acting
:11:13. > :11:15.for around 600 former patients but more may come forward
:11:16. > :11:17.and the total number of victims The medical regulators say
:11:18. > :11:28.there are much tougher safeguards now with regular staff appraisals
:11:29. > :11:31.and surgeons working in teams The safety net we have now in place
:11:32. > :11:36.is a very different one that Does it provide an absolute
:11:37. > :11:39.guarantee against people I cannot give you that
:11:40. > :11:44.absolute guarantee. But what I can say is that if people
:11:45. > :11:47.do perpetrate such criminal acts, I would feel very confident
:11:48. > :11:50.that those would be picked up But private hospitals where Paterson
:11:51. > :11:55.and other surgeons work, are still not strictly regulated
:11:56. > :11:58.according to medical leaders. And even as he began his prison
:11:59. > :12:01.sentence, there have been calls for a wider enquiry into how
:12:02. > :12:04.patients were so badly let down. At least 90 people have been killed
:12:05. > :12:12.and hundreds injured by a bomb Among those killed was
:12:13. > :12:18.Mohammed Nazir, a driver The bomb was detonated in the heart
:12:19. > :12:23.of the city's diplomatic As our world affairs correspondent,
:12:24. > :12:26.Caroline Hawley, reports, no one has claimed
:12:27. > :12:31.responsibility for the attack. You could see from miles away
:12:32. > :12:35.the force of this explosion, a massive bomb carried in a sewage
:12:36. > :12:39.tanker which exploded in Kabul's morning rush hour, hitting commuters
:12:40. > :12:41.on their way to work. It went off close to
:12:42. > :12:44.the German Embassy, leaving a trail A bomb so powerful it shattered
:12:45. > :12:49.windows a mile away. One witness said it was
:12:50. > :12:54.like an earthquake. There were so many casualties
:12:55. > :12:56.security vehicles had to double-up The Afghan government said
:12:57. > :12:59.hospitals in the capital were TRANSLATION: I was working
:13:00. > :13:05.in the office when a I collapsed under the desk
:13:06. > :13:09.and received injuries Many of my colleagues were also
:13:10. > :13:15.wounded by the glass. Most of the dead and injured
:13:16. > :13:17.were civilians, including Among those killed is
:13:18. > :13:23.Mohammed Nazir, who worked The BBC said he was a popular
:13:24. > :13:30.colleague, with a young family. The area where the bomb went off
:13:31. > :13:34.is supposed to be one of the most secure parts of the capital,
:13:35. > :13:36.close to many foreign embassies, and walking distance
:13:37. > :13:38.from the presidential palace. And even in a country that has
:13:39. > :13:42.become painfully used to violence, the scale of this attack has
:13:43. > :13:46.been a shock. Security in Afghanistan has worsened
:13:47. > :13:49.significantly since Nato ended its combat mission in 2014,
:13:50. > :13:51.and British troops In the first three months of this
:13:52. > :13:58.year alone, more than 700 people were killed in attacks
:13:59. > :14:01.across the country. The commander of American forces now
:14:02. > :14:04.wants thousands of extra troops to help strengthen Afghan forces
:14:05. > :14:06.to fight the Taliban. If Donald Trump agrees to this,
:14:07. > :14:09.Britain could also bolster It is still not clear what the exact
:14:10. > :14:15.target of this devastating bomb was, The Taliban have denied involvement
:14:16. > :14:22.- in one of the worst attacks that Police in Manchester now believe
:14:23. > :14:32.the concert suicide bomber bought most of the key components
:14:33. > :14:36.of the deadly device himself. They are still looking for more
:14:37. > :14:38.clues about Salman Abedi's activities in the four days
:14:39. > :14:41.between his return from Libya and the attack
:14:42. > :14:44.which left 22 people dead. Manchester Central Mosque -
:14:45. > :14:46.one of the city's biggest - Meanwhile, preparations are underway
:14:47. > :14:52.for Sunday's tribute concert, which will be headlined by Ariana
:14:53. > :15:09.Grande. It is a real rush to get this then
:15:10. > :15:13.you ready for Sunday. They have been covering the pitch, getting the
:15:14. > :15:16.stage ready, the tickets will go on sale tomorrow, those people at the
:15:17. > :15:20.Arena last week will be offered free tickets to come on Sunday but there
:15:21. > :15:24.will be a rush for the others as people wish to show their support
:15:25. > :15:32.from Manchester after all it has been through in the last week.
:15:33. > :15:34.On Sunday evening 50,000 people who want to support Manchester
:15:35. > :15:38.The One Love Manchester concert will raise money
:15:39. > :15:51.Ariana Grande's return is being praised by the event organiser, who
:15:52. > :15:57.first believed it was too soon for everyone, but now believes it is the
:15:58. > :16:03.right decision. We consulted with the families who were briefed and
:16:04. > :16:06.hospitalised, and through the family liaison officers, and the
:16:07. > :16:09.overwhelming feedback from them was support. Firstly, that we should do
:16:10. > :16:12.it and secondly that we should do it straightaway.
:16:13. > :16:15.Everyone who went to the Arena last week can go on Sunday for free.
:16:16. > :16:18.This fan says that she will go, but she is worried.
:16:19. > :16:20.I'm not going to lie - I am nervous about going.
:16:21. > :16:23.I do get a bit sick to my stomach thinking about going.
:16:24. > :16:25.But it is about getting back into society and being
:16:26. > :16:28.around people, I think, who are experiencing the same things
:16:29. > :16:52.Organisers acknowledge that some people who were at the original
:16:53. > :16:55.arena concert may feel overwhelmed when they get here on Sunday.
:16:56. > :16:57.So specially trained counsellors will be on hand to help those
:16:58. > :17:01.Manchester's Liam Gallagher played a benefit gig in the city last night
:17:02. > :17:04.with 22 candles on the stage, one for each person who died.
:17:05. > :17:07.Although it was left to the crowd to sing the song which has become
:17:08. > :17:14.# Don't look back in anger, I heard you say...
:17:15. > :17:18.And at the weekend the city will welcome back Ariana
:17:19. > :17:28.Preparations for tonight's election debate - now
:17:29. > :17:31.Jeremy Corbyn will take part, but Theresa May says she'd
:17:32. > :17:39.For me it's always easy on the loving affair...
:17:40. > :17:41.Arsene Wenger's affair with Arsenal will continue -
:17:42. > :17:50.he signs up for two more years as manager.
:17:51. > :17:56.Coming up in sports day... England captain Eoin Morgan says his side
:17:57. > :18:13.can cope with the pressure of being can cope with the pressure
:18:14. > :18:15.of being hosts. Nasa has unveiled daring plans
:18:16. > :18:17.to fly a spacecraft directly The Parker Solar Probe would be
:18:18. > :18:21.exposed to more heat and radiation Its carbon shield is
:18:22. > :18:25.designed to protect it from temperatures
:18:26. > :18:26.exceeding 1300 Celsius. As our science editor
:18:27. > :18:27.David Shukman reports, the space agency hopes
:18:28. > :18:30.to learn more about how stars A giant flare leaps from
:18:31. > :18:38.the turbulent surface of the sun. These latest images capture scenes
:18:39. > :18:40.of extraordinary violence, but there's a lot we don't know
:18:41. > :18:43.about how the sun works, And the best way to find answers
:18:44. > :18:53.is to get as close as possible. So next year Nasa plans to launch
:18:54. > :18:56.a specially designed spacecraft, to fly right up to the sun
:18:57. > :18:58.and endure the extraordinary The solar probe is going to be
:18:59. > :19:06.the hottest fastest mission. I like to call it the coolest
:19:07. > :19:14.hottest mission under the sun. We are going to be moving
:19:15. > :19:17.at blistering temperatures, we are going to go right up
:19:18. > :19:20.into the corona. To give you an idea of how
:19:21. > :19:22.incredibly close this mission will go, the Earth is 91 million
:19:23. > :19:25.miles from the sun. By contrast, the tiny planet Mercury
:19:26. > :19:29.is 21 million miles from it, but the new Nasa spacecraft
:19:30. > :19:31.will fly to just 4 million At the same time, the European Space
:19:32. > :19:40.Agency will also send a mission to the sun,
:19:41. > :19:42.and together with the Nasa spacecraft it'll explore the stream
:19:43. > :19:54.of solar particles flowing our way. How does what we call
:19:55. > :19:56.the solar wind form - which is a constant stream
:19:57. > :20:02.of material radiating out from the sun at hundreds
:20:03. > :20:06.of kilometres a second. It is going to help us understand
:20:07. > :20:09.how the biggest explosions and eruptions in the solar
:20:10. > :20:12.system were formed. Our sun has a very dynamic
:20:13. > :20:14.atmosphere, and to fully understand Mercury, crossing
:20:15. > :20:18.in front of the sun. The Nasa spacecraft
:20:19. > :20:19.will go much closer. One big puzzle is how
:20:20. > :20:21.the sun generates such powerful bursts of energy,
:20:22. > :20:24.and this matters because the giant flares can affect us by wrecking
:20:25. > :20:26.anything electronic. And the best way to understand these
:20:27. > :20:29.events, and to forecast them, Northern Ireland's Alliance Party
:20:30. > :20:36.has launched its election manifesto, promising "progressive
:20:37. > :20:39.and pro-European politics." The manifesto includes
:20:40. > :20:41.a series of commitments on power-sharing in the Assembly,
:20:42. > :20:43.the economy and justice, This is a manifesto which pledges
:20:44. > :20:55.to oppose a hard Brexit, support a special deal
:20:56. > :20:57.for Northern Ireland, and which will give the public
:20:58. > :21:00.the final say on the outcome The Alliance Party leader,
:21:01. > :21:07.Naomi Long, speaking there. Arsene Wenger has signed
:21:08. > :21:10.a two-year extension to his contract as Arsenal manager,
:21:11. > :21:12.bringing an end to months of speculation about his
:21:13. > :21:16.future at the club. Fans had called for him to go,

:26:27. > :26:31.changeable day in setting areas. It was quite cloudy here. Some spots in
:26:32. > :26:34.one or two areas, particularly across the valleys. But Northern
:26:35. > :26:46.areas certainly had the lion's share of the sunshine. Tonight it will be
:26:47. > :26:52.mild, a little misty and some murk around as well. Then all of that
:26:53. > :26:57.mist and murk around the south coast, and really mild, that's
:26:58. > :27:01.tonight. This big low-pressure out in the Atlantic tomorrow, with winds
:27:02. > :27:06.spiralling in, it will do a couple of things, sending more unsettled
:27:07. > :27:09.weather out, but also drive warmer air out of France, so tomorrow it
:27:10. > :27:15.will actually be warming up across parts of England. A beautiful day.
:27:16. > :27:19.More sunshine down south, highs of around 25-26, whereas you can see

:27:24. > :27:27.Cumbria, more cloud on the way. A fine evening across most of England
:27:28. > :27:31.tomorrow. That is a slow-moving weather front, still with us on
:27:32. > :27:36.Friday, bringing fresh and wetter conditions to the Western areas but
:27:37. > :27:40.the heat may spark off some thunderstorms in the south-east. The
:27:41. > :27:43.thinking is on Saturday there will be some storms rumbling around the
:27:44. > :27:48.near continent but they should stay to the east of us so this week,
:27:49. > :27:52.combining Saturday and Sunday, it is a fresh breeze out there with some
:27:53. > :27:58.splash and dash showers. Back to you. Thanks very
