We're in Cambridge, where one of the biggest debates | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
of the election campaign takes place this evening. | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
In a last-minute change, Labour's Jeremy Corbyn | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
The Labour leader said he'd changed his mind on taking part | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
because voters deserved to see leaders being challenged, and he | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
I invite her to go to Cambridge and debate her policies, | :00:25. | :00:32. | |
debate her record, debate their plans, debate her proposals | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
and make the public make up their mind. | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
But Mrs May, visiting the West Country today, | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
said she preferred to be meeting voters on the campaign trail. | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
I think debates where the politicians are squabbling among | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
themselves doesn't do anything for the process of electioneering. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
I think, actually, it is about getting out | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
and about meeting voters and hearing directly from voters. | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
15 years in jail for the surgeon who carried out needless operations. | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
The judge said Ian Paterson was driven by material rewards. | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
Over four years of trauma and stress in trying to bring | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
No amount of prison sentence will ever compensate what myself | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
and the other people affected have gone through. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
At least 90 people are killed in the Afghan capital, Kabul, | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
after a truck bomb explodes in the diplomatic quarter. | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
And to boldly go where no spacecraft has gone before. | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
Nasa's plans to probe the sun's atmosphere. | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
And coming up in the sport on BBC News... | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
Defending champion Novak Djokovic and the king of clay, Rafa Nadal, | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
both ease into the third round of the French Open. | :01:55. | :02:19. | |
We're at the Senate House of the university, the venue for one | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
of the biggest debates of this election campaign, with just eight | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
Seven party representatives will be taking part, | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
including the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, who announced earlier | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
today that he would, after all, be attending the debate. | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
But the Prime Minister, Theresa May, will not be here. | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
She says she'd rather be out meeting voters on the campaign trail. | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
The stakes are high because tonight's debate takes place | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
amid suggestions in some opinion polls that the Conservative lead | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
Our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, has more | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
on the day's campaigning and the final preparations | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
London, nine o'clock in the morning, based ago. A rare sight, an | :02:59. | :03:14. | |
old-fashioned press conference. Labour attacking the Tories on | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
public services and Jeremy Corbyn still quite over whether he will go | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
to the debate. Would you attend the BBC debate? Come on, Prime Minister, | :03:24. | :03:32. | |
come and have a chat! I can be ever so polite! There are number of | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
questions I want to put to you. Rather than accept the invitation, | :03:36. | :03:43. | |
Theresa May was up early. In a campaign classic, sampling the | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
produce at a county show. Not welcomed by all people, notably, in | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
part of the country, the south-west, the Tories are trying to defend. But | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
elsewhere, Labour and the leader's rides are enjoying being the | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
insurgent underdog. -- Labour's crowds. It is just amazing. Vote for | :04:07. | :04:16. | |
me and not that horrible man. I have come to see the horrible man because | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
he is not horrible, he is very sensible. He is readable to people | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
and he understands what young people want. I hear is welcome, ready to | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
commit to the debate, with or without. I invite her to go to | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
Cambridge and debater policies and record and plans, their proposals, | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
and let the public make up their mind. On the move but heading the | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
other way. The Prime Minister will not respond to heckles or agree to | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
those chanted demands to show her face tonight. Staff at this factory | :04:53. | :05:01. | |
in Bath did try to put on the spot but uploaded when she was asked | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
about not showing tonight. Could she really love things off? Look... He | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
is up for the head-to-head debate, does this suggest you are frightened | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
of taking him on directly? I have been taking Jeremy Corbyn on | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
directly every week in Prime Minister's Questions and actually, | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
yes, public scrutiny is for the election campaign but that is why | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
taking questions from members of the public who are going to be voting on | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
the 8th of June is so important. The risk is he just looks scared. Isn't | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
your decision not to take part and metaphor for your campaign? Very | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
happy to repeatedly criticised the Labour Party but for your own plans, | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
the reluctance to give us much detail, on Brexit, the future | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
immigration system, how many people will use the winter fuel allowance? | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
What I have done in terms of the manifesto is be open with the | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
British people about the great challenges we face as a country over | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
the next few years and beyond. And how we will address those | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
challenges. And you talk about the Brexit negotiations, I have set out | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
clearly what our 12 objectives are for those Brexit negotiations. That | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
is the right thing to do. Do people not want more from you? You | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
basically are saying that in many of these big issues, I will get back to | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
you? I think what we owe to people is to be open about the challenges | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
we face as a country and be open with them about the solutions were | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
offering. In campaigns, the path is often less smooth. Those who start | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
out in front. Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Bath. The debate will take | :06:46. | :06:53. | |
part in the Senate House in Cambridge. John Pienaar is here. The | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
prospects of this debate have changed given the change of mind of | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
Jeremy Corbyn? He pulled off a political ambush by turning up at | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
the last minute unexpectedly, he has made Theresa May look conspicuous by | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
her absence and that is the idea. Jeremy Corbyn in this debate will | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
start off trying to make Theresa May looks scared, running scared, while | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
he is the leader who will want to engage and get stuck in. Whether he | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
pulls this off depends because for a number of those reasons on the | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
platform, they will be there to stop him. Amber Rudd is one of them, the | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
Home Secretary deep in favour of Theresa May, she says it is to and | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
frustrate the Labour Party leader. This is one of the biggest debates, | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
what is at stake? This debate, in particular, is as near as we will | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
get to contact sport in this campaign. It has the potential to | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
deliver a very big moment, maybe the defining moment. Whether it delivers | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
one of those moments that moves the market and has an outcome on this | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
election, that is what we're here to find out. Thank you very much. John | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
Pienaar, there. Plenty of noises here, the crowd is gathering and the | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
audience has arrived to make their way into the Senate House. A great | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
air of excitement. And a quick reminder that tonight's | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
BBC Election Debate, featuring seven party | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
representatives and chaired by my colleague, Mishal Husein, | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
will be on BBC One and the BBC But for now, from Cambridge, | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
it's back to George. A breast surgeon has been sentenced | :08:27. | :08:35. | |
to 15 years in prison for carrying out needless and life-changing | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
operations on patients. Ian Paterson, who's 59, | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
was convicted of 17 counts of wounding with intent and three | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
of unlawful wounding Jurors were told he exaggerated | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
the risk of cancer to persuade his Though the case related to ten | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
patients, it's thought many more Our health editor, | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
Hugh Pym, reports. A rogue surgeon who thought | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
he was untouchable. He had the total trust | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
of vulnerable patients, Some of his victims who suffered | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
from the operations he carried out gathered before | :09:11. | :09:22. | |
the sentencing this morning. Then they marched together into | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
Nottingham Crown Court determined Many warned of a cancer | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
risk had breast surgery They sat in court watching Ian | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
Paterson, head bowed in the dock. Sentencing him, Mr Justice Jeremy | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
Baker said, in pursuit of your own self aggrandisement | :09:41. | :09:50. | |
and the material rewards it brought from your private practice, | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
you lost sight of the fact you were carrying out | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
significant surgical You deliberately played | :09:56. | :09:56. | |
upon their worst fears. Either by inventing or deliberately | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
exaggerating the risks The court also heard | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
that his former patients endured pain and discomfort, | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
with some suffering long-term complications, | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
anxiety and depression. We may never know the real reason | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
why he acted in such an evil way. Throughout the trial he has made | :10:13. | :10:26. | |
no attempt to show any And may be revealing his true | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
character rather than the charming professional man we | :10:30. | :10:38. | |
all thought he was. Some questioned Paterson's 15 | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
year prison sentence. He should be released on licence | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
after seven and a half years. We have all been given | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
a life sentence. He is just going to walk away a free | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
man after seven and a half years. Yet every morning we look | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
in the mirror and the scars So I think at the least | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
he should serve the 15 For the victims, the battle | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
doesn't end here. Their lawyers are preparing | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
a High Court civil action to be Seeking damages from the hospitals | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
and Paterson himself. Solicitors said they're acting | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
for around 600 former patients but more may come forward | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
and the total number of victims The medical regulators say | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
there are much tougher safeguards now with regular staff appraisals | :11:18. | :11:28. | |
and surgeons working in teams The safety net we have now in place | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
is a very different one that Does it provide an absolute | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
guarantee against people I cannot give you that | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
absolute guarantee. But what I can say is that if people | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
do perpetrate such criminal acts, I would feel very confident | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
that those would be picked up But private hospitals where Paterson | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
and other surgeons work, are still not strictly regulated | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
according to medical leaders. And even as he began his prison | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
sentence, there have been calls for a wider enquiry into how | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
patients were so badly let down. At least 90 people have been killed | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
and hundreds injured by a bomb Among those killed was | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
Mohammed Nazir, a driver The bomb was detonated in the heart | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
of the city's diplomatic As our world affairs correspondent, | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
Caroline Hawley, reports, no one has claimed | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
responsibility for the attack. You could see from miles away | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
the force of this explosion, a massive bomb carried in a sewage | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
tanker which exploded in Kabul's morning rush hour, hitting commuters | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
on their way to work. It went off close to | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
the German Embassy, leaving a trail A bomb so powerful it shattered | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
windows a mile away. One witness said it was | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
like an earthquake. There were so many casualties | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
security vehicles had to double-up The Afghan government said | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
hospitals in the capital were TRANSLATION: I was working | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
in the office when a I collapsed under the desk | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
and received injuries Many of my colleagues were also | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
wounded by the glass. Most of the dead and injured | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
were civilians, including Among those killed is | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
Mohammed Nazir, who worked The BBC said he was a popular | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
colleague, with a young family. The area where the bomb went off | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
is supposed to be one of the most secure parts of the capital, | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
close to many foreign embassies, and walking distance | :13:35. | :13:36. | |
from the presidential palace. And even in a country that has | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
become painfully used to violence, the scale of this attack has | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
been a shock. Security in Afghanistan has worsened | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
significantly since Nato ended its combat mission in 2014, | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
and British troops In the first three months of this | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
year alone, more than 700 people were killed in attacks | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
across the country. The commander of American forces now | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
wants thousands of extra troops to help strengthen Afghan forces | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
to fight the Taliban. If Donald Trump agrees to this, | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
Britain could also bolster It is still not clear what the exact | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
target of this devastating bomb was, The Taliban have denied involvement | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
- in one of the worst attacks that Police in Manchester now believe | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
the concert suicide bomber bought most of the key components | :14:23. | :14:32. | |
of the deadly device himself. They are still looking for more | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
clues about Salman Abedi's activities in the four days | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
between his return from Libya and the attack | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
which left 22 people dead. Manchester Central Mosque - | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
one of the city's biggest - Meanwhile, preparations are underway | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
for Sunday's tribute concert, which will be headlined by Ariana | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
Grande. It is a real rush to get this then | :14:53. | :15:09. | |
you ready for Sunday. They have been covering the pitch, getting the | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
stage ready, the tickets will go on sale tomorrow, those people at the | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
Arena last week will be offered free tickets to come on Sunday but there | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
will be a rush for the others as people wish to show their support | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
from Manchester after all it has been through in the last week. | :15:25. | :15:32. | |
On Sunday evening 50,000 people who want to support Manchester | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
The One Love Manchester concert will raise money | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
Ariana Grande's return is being praised by the event organiser, who | :15:39. | :15:51. | |
first believed it was too soon for everyone, but now believes it is the | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
right decision. We consulted with the families who were briefed and | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
hospitalised, and through the family liaison officers, and the | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
overwhelming feedback from them was support. Firstly, that we should do | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
it and secondly that we should do it straightaway. | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
Everyone who went to the Arena last week can go on Sunday for free. | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
This fan says that she will go, but she is worried. | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
I'm not going to lie - I am nervous about going. | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
I do get a bit sick to my stomach thinking about going. | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
But it is about getting back into society and being | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
around people, I think, who are experiencing the same things | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
Organisers acknowledge that some people who were at the original | :16:29. | :16:52. | |
arena concert may feel overwhelmed when they get here on Sunday. | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
So specially trained counsellors will be on hand to help those | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
Manchester's Liam Gallagher played a benefit gig in the city last night | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
with 22 candles on the stage, one for each person who died. | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
Although it was left to the crowd to sing the song which has become | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
# Don't look back in anger, I heard you say... | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
And at the weekend the city will welcome back Ariana | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
Preparations for tonight's election debate - now | :17:19. | :17:28. | |
Jeremy Corbyn will take part, but Theresa May says she'd | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
For me it's always easy on the loving affair... | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
Arsene Wenger's affair with Arsenal will continue - | :17:40. | :17:41. | |
he signs up for two more years as manager. | :17:42. | :17:50. | |
Coming up in sports day... England captain Eoin Morgan says his side | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
can cope with the pressure of being can cope with the pressure | :17:57. | :18:13. | |
of being hosts. Nasa has unveiled daring plans | :18:14. | :18:15. | |
to fly a spacecraft directly The Parker Solar Probe would be | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
exposed to more heat and radiation Its carbon shield is | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
designed to protect it from temperatures | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
exceeding 1300 Celsius. As our science editor | :18:26. | :18:26. | |
David Shukman reports, the space agency hopes | :18:27. | :18:27. | |
to learn more about how stars A giant flare leaps from | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
the turbulent surface of the sun. These latest images capture scenes | :18:31. | :18:38. | |
of extraordinary violence, but there's a lot we don't know | :18:39. | :18:40. | |
about how the sun works, And the best way to find answers | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
is to get as close as possible. So next year Nasa plans to launch | :18:44. | :18:53. | |
a specially designed spacecraft, to fly right up to the sun | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
and endure the extraordinary The solar probe is going to be | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
the hottest fastest mission. I like to call it the coolest | :18:59. | :19:06. | |
hottest mission under the sun. We are going to be moving | :19:07. | :19:14. | |
at blistering temperatures, we are going to go right up | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
into the corona. To give you an idea of how | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
incredibly close this mission will go, the Earth is 91 million | :19:21. | :19:22. | |
miles from the sun. By contrast, the tiny planet Mercury | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
is 21 million miles from it, but the new Nasa spacecraft | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
will fly to just 4 million At the same time, the European Space | :19:30. | :19:31. | |
Agency will also send a mission to the sun, | :19:32. | :19:40. | |
and together with the Nasa spacecraft it'll explore the stream | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
of solar particles flowing our way. How does what we call | :19:43. | :19:54. | |
the solar wind form - which is a constant stream | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
of material radiating out from the sun at hundreds | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
of kilometres a second. It is going to help us understand | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
how the biggest explosions and eruptions in the solar | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
system were formed. Our sun has a very dynamic | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
atmosphere, and to fully understand Mercury, crossing | :20:13. | :20:14. | |
in front of the sun. The Nasa spacecraft | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
will go much closer. One big puzzle is how | :20:19. | :20:19. | |
the sun generates such powerful bursts of energy, | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
and this matters because the giant flares can affect us by wrecking | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
anything electronic. And the best way to understand these | :20:25. | :20:26. | |
events, and to forecast them, Northern Ireland's Alliance Party | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
has launched its election manifesto, promising "progressive | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
and pro-European politics." The manifesto includes | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
a series of commitments on power-sharing in the Assembly, | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
the economy and justice, This is a manifesto which pledges | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
to oppose a hard Brexit, support a special deal | :20:44. | :20:55. | |
for Northern Ireland, and which will give the public | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
the final say on the outcome The Alliance Party leader, | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
Naomi Long, speaking there. Arsene Wenger has signed | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
a two-year extension to his contract as Arsenal manager, | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
bringing an end to months of speculation about his | :21:11. | :21:12. | |
future at the club. Fans had called for him to go, | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
after a disappointing season for Arsenal, but last | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
weekend's FA Cup victory, He's already British | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
football's longest serving manager, and now we know - | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
Arsene Wenger's remarkable reign at Arsenal will extend to a 23rd | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
year, the season's most contentious Amid fierce debate among the fans, | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
Wenger refused to face the media today, his club instead | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
releasing their own interview, in which he explained | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
why he was staying. I identify myself so | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
much with the club. Of course when you can be | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
where you love to be, that's easy. Difficult, because you | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
want to respond to the demands of all the people | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
who love this club. The pressure on Wenger has | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
intensified this season, Arsenal humiliated in Europe | :22:08. | :22:09. | |
and failing to qualify for the Champions League | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
for the first time in 20 years. With the highest ticket | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
prices in football, CHANTING: Arsene Wenger, | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
we want you to go! Last weekend Arsenal unexpectedly | :22:20. | :22:28. | |
beat champions Chelsea to win the seventh FA Cup | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
of Wenger's tenure... COMMENTATOR: Arsenal | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
in front once more! But his decision to stay has | :22:36. | :22:36. | |
left the fans divided. His uncertainty has | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
caused the players He should've just gone | :22:40. | :22:40. | |
after the cup final. Arsene Wenger needs to earn | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
the right now to get the fans back behind him, | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
and that's what we're today was a reminder of the immense | :22:50. | :23:01. | |
power Arsene Wenger yields at the Emirates, and know we will see if he | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
can keep their existing players, get new ones and justify his new | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
contract, worth ?60 million. It will be hard to imagine Arsenal without | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
Wenger, but 13 years after they became champions, his legacy hangs | :23:18. | :23:18. | |
in the balance. Back to the election | :23:19. | :23:27. | |
and to the issues that Today we're hearing | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
from Moira Cash in Warrington. Her son, Fraser, has cerebral palsy | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
and has just started college. I want somebody to pay attention, | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
listen to what people like me, or Fraser himself, are saying | :23:35. | :23:55. | |
and stand up for disabled rights. He has got cerebral palsy, | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
he has had it from birth. And it basically means it affects | :23:58. | :24:06. | |
all his limbs so he can't do Fraser started college back | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
in September and Moira employes two full-time carers to help | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
with his physical And he has always had it | :24:21. | :24:22. | |
at school, so in higher Cuts to funding for disabled | :24:23. | :24:38. | |
students made in 2014 by the Conservative-Liberal Democrat | :24:39. | :24:49. | |
Coalition mean the money for full-time support | :24:50. | :24:51. | |

in sports coaching. His aim is to be the first disabled | :24:53. | :25:00. | |
Premier League coach And why shouldn't he be allowed | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
to access that via education? Moira, why is this | :25:03. | :25:15. | |
an election issue for you? In this day and age, we are stopping | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
- possibly stopping - children from going to further | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
education. There is billions and billions | :25:26. | :25:26. | |
of pounds being saved by people looking after and caring for people | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
instead of asking the Government So put the savings back | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
into the children, And if you want to find out more | :25:35. | :25:49. | |
about the different policies the parties are offering you, | :25:50. | :26:05. | |
then do go to our website. This was Cumbria. Sparkling blue | :26:06. | :26:20. | |
skies. In London, of light and shade going on. Quite a dramatic | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
changeable day in setting areas. It was quite cloudy here. Some spots in | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
one or two areas, particularly across the valleys. But Northern | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
areas certainly had the lion's share of the sunshine. Tonight it will be | :26:35. | :26:46. | |
mild, a little misty and some murk around as well. Then all of that | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
mist and murk around the south coast, and really mild, that's | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
tonight. This big low-pressure out in the Atlantic tomorrow, with winds | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
spiralling in, it will do a couple of things, sending more unsettled | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
weather out, but also drive warmer air out of France, so tomorrow it | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
will actually be warming up across parts of England. A beautiful day. | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
More sunshine down south, highs of around 25-26, whereas you can see | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
more cloud and rain into Northern Ireland, Scotland and Cumbria. For | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
Cumbria, more cloud on the way. A fine evening across most of England | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
tomorrow. That is a slow-moving weather front, still with us on | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
Friday, bringing fresh and wetter conditions to the Western areas but | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
the heat may spark off some thunderstorms in the south-east. The | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
thinking is on Saturday there will be some storms rumbling around the | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
near continent but they should stay to the east of us so this week, | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
combining Saturday and Sunday, it is a fresh breeze out there with some | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
splash and dash showers. Back to you. Thanks very | :27:53. | :27:58. |
