Cheering and applause. Placards and cheers and babies getting attention from politicians. Keir starmer is quite the fan of visiting Lower League Football grounds in places he hopes labour can win. He was in gillingham in kent this morning, his deputy with him, too. Thank you. Whatever Service People try and access these days, they find its like wading through treacle. Applause. Red cards arent usually welcome for folk on a Football Pitch but expect to see plenty of these in the next month or so, spelling out labours core message. Weve had 1a years of going round and round in circles, getting absolutely nowhere. Chaos and Division Feeding Chaos and division. If you want change, you have to vote for it and if you vote labour, its a vote to stop the chaos. Its a vote to turn the page and its a vote to rebuild our country together. Thank you very much. Cheering and applause. Thank you a general election is about winning seats and staying in them. Rishi sunakjust about managed that in ilkeston in derbyshire as he made the case the economy is on the up. Inflation down from 11 when i got thisjob. Down back to normal, just over 2 . Energy bills now falling by hundreds of pounds. Wages have been rising by faster than prices for almost ten months now. The conservatives and labour have a very different approach to dealing with people crossing the channel in small boats. Labour would scrap the tory plan to send some migrants to rwanda, which Rishi Sunak Claims could make a big difference. How do we stop the boats . Well, im very clear that requires bold solutions. Thats why we need rwanda. Got to make it Crystal Clear to everybody if you come to our country illegally, you wont get to stay. But the Prime Minister told us today he didnt expect anyone to be sent to rwanda before the election. Hello within hours, mr sunak was at a brewery in barry in south wales, having a go with the kit. Air hisses. There was then an awkward moment when he said this. Are you looking forward to all the football . Not so much my bag. Well. Wales have not qualified for the euros, the Football Tournament starting next month. England and scotland have. And talking of scotland, rishi sunak completed his three nation dash today by flying to the highlands. I know, yeah. And having a catch up with the Scottish Conservative leader at the port of nigg, north of inverness. Applause. Meanwhile, in edinburgh today, the new look Scottish National party had their general election launch. Onjuly 4th, independence day, make sure your voice is heard. I expect over the next six weeks, well see the tories and labour really going at it. Theyll be going Hammer And Tongs to discredit each other. Ill also be going Hammer And Tongs, but not against anyone ill be going Hammer And Tongs to put scotland first. Ready . Right, cheering lets go cheering and applause. And in cheltenham in gloucestershire, the Liberal Democrats were sorting out their choreography, some in Party Colours from head to toe. Leader ed davey has a phrase well hear a fair bit of. A fair deal where everyone can have a decent home thats secure and clean and affordable. Comfortable retirement when the time comes. Thats secure and clean. An affordable, comfortable retirement when the time comes. A fair deal where every child has a decent school, where they can have the opportunity to realise their potential. The next six weeks will involve a fair bit of ticker tape and assorted electioneering paraphernalia. Luckily, there are those keen to pick it up. Chris mason, bbc news. Well, behind the scenes at westminster, mps have been scrambling to pass key laws before parliament dissolves next week. The process is called wash up and among those bills likely to be passed is compensation for victims of the infected blood scandal and another aimed at limiting costs for leasehold Property Owners in england. But its thought that one of rishi sunak� s flagship policies a plan to phase out smoking will be shelved, as Damian Grammaticas explains. All day in there, there have been high stakes negotiations which laws to push through, which tojunk . Some have been campaigned for for years delicately drafted, debated for months but now, with a short notice election, theyre having to be ditched. One of the casualties is rishi sunak� s own signature legislation, meant to be part of his legacy to ensure children now and one day adults, too never smoke. The commons here has seen it but the lords there hasnt, so it seems his tobacco and vapes bill is doomed. It wouldve banned the sale of cigarettes to anyone born in 2009 or after, created £100 on the spot fines for shops in england and wales flouting the law, and given ministers the power to restrict the packaging and flavours of vapes to make them less attractive to children. At the last election, the conservatives promised in their 2019 manifesto to protect those renting homes, to give them more secure tenancies, recently saying it will be done by this election. But that, too, wont happen. The renters reform bill was meant to end so called no fault evictions, though some think it had already been watered down to the point of being ineffective. And what will disappoint legions of Football Fans is the loss of a long fought for law to update how football is governed. It would have created a new independent regulator for football with powers to assess the suitability of club owners, to force teams to stay solvent, and sanction any that dont stick to the rules. The Football Bill might be revived after the election as it has cross party support, and there are still a few hours for Horse Trading to try to save some legislation, but much is being cast aside. Damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. A building has collapsed on the Spanish Island of majorca, killing at least four people.

Now, the second of our Special Reports from myanmar. The country is in the grip of a widespread insurgency as resistance groups attempt to overthrow the military, which seized power three years ago. As much as two thirds of myanmar may now be under the control of the resistance. Some people have taken up arms against the military but others doctors and teachers are supporting the insurgency with skills of their own. Access to the country is difficult but our correspondent Quentin Sommerville has managed to get inside and spent a month with the young revolutionaries at Theirjungle Hideouts and on frontlines. Like a beacon in the night, a jungle base has become a sanctuary the final stop on a Journey To Freedom For Young Burmese who refuse to serve in the army. They were spirited here from cities by an Underground Railroad of agents and safe houses to escape a new Conscription Law that would see them fight against the insurgency. Instead, theyve joined its ranks. Why dont you want to fight for the Military Government . Translation the military is terrorising people. They bomb using planes and they burn villages. I will never fight for their side. I will help and fight alongside the revolutionary forces. And they arent the only ones fleeing. Across karenni state, hundreds of camps for the displaced have sprung up. Young and old, they live in fear. Its a hardscrabble existence. Heartbreak is a way of life here. Some 2. 5 Million People have been forced to say goodbye to their homes since the military coup. Theyve left their farms and rice paddies to avoid the hundreds of army air strikes that target opposition held territory. A relentless air campaign has civilians running for their lives. Explosion. Tens of thousands have been killed since the coup, many of them children. The bombs fall daily. The state capital, loikaw, is now a ruin. Go, go come, come we follow cobra and his best buddy sam on patrol. They were National Karate champs who have taken up arms. Yes. Go move, move peaceful protests failed, so theyve been in a stand off here with the army since november. End of this street, the burmese army there, so we need to we have to run. This is the heart of loikaw, downtown. Look at the state of it, though. There is destruction everywhere. If we just look over here, look at the destruction of the buildings. This is. Incendiary drones were dropped here, artillery, air strikes. We know this was the Military Junta because the rebels dont have that kind of weaponry. And Something Else silence. Because there are no civilians here theyve fled because the junta doesnt distinguish between rebel fighters, between Resistance Fighters and civilians. It has labelled them all as terrorists. In fact, 8km from here, just yesterday, a Military Air Strike killed a family of six, including two children. So, wherever they attack, they turn these places into ghost towns. Cobra and sam will defend these frontlines, whatever the cost. Groans. This is a struggle of the young against the old, a new generation battling a military elite, and its myanmar� s youth thats sacrificing most. This man isjust 23. He took shrapnel to his Femoral Artery in an attack on a military base. His comrades comfort him as much as they can. Not all revolutionaries carry a gun. Dr yori was in his last year of Medical School and abandoned his studies to help in this secret hospital, treating fighters and civilians alike. I just dont want to give away our location for security measures. So, this is our Operation Theatre room. It is underground. They take every precaution here. The reason the Operating Theatre is underground is because if we are over ground, they can see us and if they see us, they will bomb us, so we have to go underground. In the light blue is his fiancee, dr tracy. She, too, didnt graduate. Now, shes performing surgery. Weve met some of the wounded here today. They are young men. Yeah, very young. Very young, with their whole lives ahead of them, and they have horrible injuries. How do you both cope with that mentally . We can cry the whole day, its ok. Let it cry, let me cry, its ok. But we have to stand up again because if we are not here, who will treat those patients . Children, too, have been forced to seek shelter from the military� s warplanes under the jungle canopy. Despite the war, songs are still heard and ballads still played by these students at the Golden Flower music school. This teachers violin drowns out the din of war. Some of her students are as young as 14. This is their refuge for now. We have met a lot of young people here today some of them very young but soon, theyll have to go and fight. How does that make you feel . Translation they have to sacrifice their bodies, l their limbs, their lives and they have to leave their girlfriends and boyfriends behind to go to the front line. That shows their dedicated heart and how strong their beliefs are. I will always respect and honour the comrades. And some might never come back. And this is the toll that myanmar� s fight for freedom takes on her and the young. Sobs. For cobra and sam, its a price they have to pay now. Theyre fighting the same battles their parents fought against military rule. And tracy and yori hope its for the last time. That their revolution means future generations their children might live together in a free myanmar. Quentin sommerville, bbc news, karenni state, myanmar.

Coming up after this short break, i will be taking you through the Main Business stories, including ticketmaster and live nation and the business of space. Stay with us. Hello there. Conditions look a lot better for the next couple of days. We should see more sunshine around, lighterwinds, so it should feel a bit warmer as well. Friday, its an improving picture. We should see sunshine breaking through across many areas and for most areas, it should be dry just a few showers across northern areas. Now, this area of low pressure is continuing to weaken and the rain is fizzling out, so therell be barely anything on these Weather Fronts across scotland, Northern England as we move through friday morning. Should see plenty of sunshine developing across southern areas and some holes appearing in that cloud further north. Just the odd shower dotted around but many places will stay dry. Temperatures responding as well lighter winds, more sunshine, 19 celsius, maybe 20 celsius in the south, high teens further north. As we head through friday night, it looks like skies will clear pretty widely, so it will turn chillier. Just the odd shower across scotland. A bit more cloud here, so i think double figure values in much of scotland and Northern Ireland. Single figures for large parts of england and wales. So, into the bank holiday weekend, its starting off fine and settled on saturday for most areas and then, well start to see sunshine and showers through sunday and bank holiday monday. Weve got this Weather Front encroaching in slowly during the weekend but ahead of it, plenty of sunshine around. It will be a chilly start a little bit of mist and fog around. This feature moving in from the near continent could bring some cloud and rain for east anglia, Eastern England and then, later in the day, this Weather Front moves its way into South West England but plenty of sunshine across the country just the chance of an odd shower. A much warmer 20 degrees for many areas, up to 22 in the south east. Now, as we head into sunday, this Weather Front starts to cross the country, destabilising the atmosphere. Its going be one of sunshine and showers, i think, and through the afternoon, some of these showers could turn out to be heavy and thundery, some local torrential downpours in places. Temperature wise, because a bit more cloud around and some showers, i think were looking at highs of 18 or 19 degrees. And then, through bank holiday monday, again, sunshine and showers. Probably the heaviest of the showers on monday will be across the northern half of the country, a bit more of a breeze as well coming in from the west, so temperatures 16 or 17 degrees, i think, for many places. And then, for the upcoming week, i think it stays fairly u nsettled. Low pressure always close by. Showers or longer spells of rain. However, there will still be some decent spells of sunshine at times. Take care. Facing the music ticketmaster owner, live nation, has a monopoly over the Concert Business says the Usjustice Department and should be broken up. The firm calls the allegations baseless. Also coming up the campaign is under way. Uk politicians hit the road as the countdown begins tojuly 4. But how are Financial Markets taking the prospect of a general election .
