Children in Need to put before that it's the start of the 2nd week of the general election campaign and we've still got more than a month to go before polling day what Joy This weekend the main parties have been arguing over just how much they're going to spend if they win power I'm joined by our political correspondent Paul Rowley Paul good morning good morning our ground so do we know how much they're going to spend then we don't know precisely but it out and stop them arguing about it the conservatives are claiming that if Jeremy Corbin becomes prime minister it would cost voters $1.00 trillion pounds over the next 5 years which is a an astronomical eye watering figure it's got it's got 12 knots in it it almost goes off the page the Tories say their calculations are based on the commitments made in Labor's manifesto at the last election 2 and a half years ago. Plus the policy pledges approved at the subsequent party conferences labor describing this calculation in the in the words of of done all Trump as being fake news as saying some of their plans such as the renationalisation of the railways would take more than a decade to come into effect and some of their conference decisions won't be part of their manifesto this time around now clearly it's an attempt to paint labor as being reckless and irresponsible and so when you ask the conservatives how much they're going to spend having calculated what labor are going to spend this say we can't tell you get away for our manifesto in truth the early signals are that Boris Johnson will probably have to spend more than any previous prime minister I think the voters are demanding it particular in the public services but I think largely most people we found Bootle by these figures so it's the usual election games being played frankly Graeme in the early part of the set of this particular game so what can we expect today that well being Armistice Day Both the main parties are for focusing only on the Armed Forces the conservatives are promising to change the law to protect military veterans from what they describe as vexatious claims have been a number of prosecutions against soldiers in recent times who served in Northern Ireland during the the troubles as they call them in the 1970 s. And eighty's Boris Johnson is promising to change the the Human Rights Act So it doesn't apply to cases which took place before the law came into force which was the year 2000 so it covers that particular period now this is one of a number of measures the Tories are planning to support military personnel for example a guarantee of a job interview in the public sector when they leave the forces but in turn labor also focusing on this they're promising improved pay cheaper housing and more support for families for those in the services particularly for children who have to move around the country because you know the parents may may be moving around in . Jobs the Liberal Democrats today are talking about having what they call a skills wallet which is the guarantee of up to 10000 pounds for every adult in various stages of their life that would be spent on education and training and the break to party is talking about well breaks it it's on the tin far it is in the northeast of England which is a key leave region where they think they can take votes of the Labor Party generally I know we're only a week into it but election playing Go camping go and it's all odd it's not really got going yet largely because a lot of candidates are pulling out including some M.P.'s who are saying they won't be standing and then you've got those who are resigning usually because of something that they've said in the past so there's a the coup the course of the curse of the of social media it will warm up I suppose next week when the manifestos are published then we'll have a t.v. Debate and it might start to get moving but we've still got check my election calendar I've put my breakfast calendar to one side during the campaign we have only I say only 31 days to go before polling day and we are counting polar bear live at Westminster for us this morning right now it is a quarter past 7 b.b.c.

Breakfast on the radio Lancashire Well the controversy surrounding this l g b t Poppy shortly but before that it's a rare occurrence happening in the skies tonight we say this every time I don't know how many of these we've done we'll be able to see it is a big thing will you be able to see a juror in the day still will be able to see it it's called the transit of mercury and it's when the planet passes the face of the sun it is a rare phenomenon and for observers in the u.k. The event will begin round about after lunch time right and continue past sunset at around 20 past $4.00 Oh all right we can find out from the news editor of the b.b.c. Sky at night magazine it will see it Dr Elizabeth Pearson Dr Pearson Good morning. Good morning when we see it today will it be clear enough. I've just had a look at the weather. And unfortunately it does look like you might get rained out . Fortunately there's lots of places which will be streaming it live and we'll have some of the links to some of them on the Scott not web site w w Magazine dot com so you will just be able to see it but you might just not be able to see it with your own eyes unfortunately right so if you could see it which you can in once you should what would you say. So what you would see would be a black don't which is the disk of Mercury the planet Mercury moving across the disk of the sun. Obviously you'd have to look through a solar telescope or some kind of sort eclipse glasses because you should never look directly at the sun with your naked eyes because you can do yourself a lot of damage however if you did have the proper equipment you should be able to see this dot. Moving across the disk of the sun and that's the shadow of mercury as the sun the planets and all planets perfectly lined up Ok so people can see it like it should today but if you go online there are plenty of places they can say and it's all about how pressed Well this lunchtime. It starts at about half past 12 and it goes right through until actually just like about 7 minutes after sunset is just one end which is quite annoying it would be able to tell and. Throughout the afternoon you should be able to hear Ok Dr Elizabeth Pearson thanks for joining us this morning 741 it is b.b.c. Radio Lancashire and you're waking up to your local radio station your local breakfast live from where you live I'm Graeme Laiva welcome umble today now over the past few weeks millions of us will have taken part in this year's Poppy Appeal which is run by the Royal British Legion wearing a red poppy is a symbol to remember those who lost their lives in conflicts around the world as well as those who have been killed as a result of terrorism however a woman from Lancashire has been at the center of a controversy after she decided to design a rainbow Poppy to bring attention to the plight of l.g. Bt soldiers Trudy Houssam whose originally from great Harwood works as the l.g. Bt poet laureate a role created by a gay rights charity she told me why she took up the role I just think that poetry is a great form of expression because poetry can really reach out to people and have a sort of introduction to their minds in their hearts and in not to be too esoteric their cells you know they can have a subconscious effect and you've been involved haven't you're in the design of this rainbow Poppy Yes well I just felt very strongly that. Gay people have been made invisible for a long time rather like women actually and I just felt all those soldiers who were you know full in the war along with their common raids who were actually criminalized for their sexuality you know who if it was discovered they were gay they were dishonorably discharged court martialled shot and I thought about the impact that that will. Have on their families back home like a great hall would and how it would destroy a not only the lives of these men but also the lives of their family and leaving a sort of deep stain of shame on their so I wanted to sort of raise the profile of this man I don't want to sort of completely take over the red poppy or anything but I just wanted to raise the visibility of those of those men who who were actually here is you're probably not surprised but it's Wonder few people love you venture in some veterans who have been outraged by this well actually some veterans you know I do a lot of u.k. Pride's and I did one in the Midlands and this really old gent he was I mean I can't tell you how old he wants but he was torturing and he came to the side of the stage and afterwards he was just holding on to the rail and I went round and he just got hold of my hand and he was saying thank you Fang Q And he was so emotional he couldn't speak and you know yes some people didn't like it some people don't like gay people I can't think why but you know really I think one thinks one you've just got to take the rough with the smooth and actually what I'm promoting is love respect. And you know all encompassed in that remembrance so to those people who share a this is not a property a property is red and it is to remember all the fallen from all the conflicts you would maybe just say well just look at it with a better more of a open mind there's actually more than one Poppy there's the red poppy thing as the Black Poppy for black people who fought in the walls there's the purple puppy for the animals the horses and pigeons who you know what you're in the wars and so I do think it's that big a deal for there just to be a tiny little bit of a rainbow in it I'm not saying that should be the main Poppy I'm just saying that yes it is important to some people and it is important some people and their families I just want to remove that stain of shame I would say What do you think about that give us a call 087-3583 or send me a text message trouble 3 state blanks in front of you message just got a call to a b.b.c.

Bt rainbow Poppy I want to tell you about my purple Poppy in recognition of the animals who died during the war and conflict horses dogs pigeons It's a metal popular pin the same shape as the red one with a leaf the animals don't get mentioned enough let's remember from couple war horse to film was on last week its 1st time I've ever seen it all. Happen in bits a 1000000 bits in the lung tissue as well to clean parts of West Lancashire Briggs or the beef you know that being from the farm is going to but in West Lancashire an awful lot of horses went to the 1st World War. And they were they were trained their own stuff yet he was a purple popping necked replica in recognition of all the animals and thank you very much she was to get in touch 08078 double 3583 This is from no don't put the name on but it's from. Liane how to pronounce that name Korea Toria Ok as from Toria Hello Toria the whole point is an inclusive a-T. . Why do we need a different one why do we need to bring sexuality and if this all the point is to remember all who died no matter their color their race or their preferences why should we highlight that people are l g b t We don't need to pigeonhole anyone or highlight their more than of us that's from Toria who's got in touch with us today thank you very much want trouble 3 stick in front of a message what do you think about this l g b t Poppy designed by a the l g b t poet laureate from who was originally from great Harwood I didn't even know him right but as you can hear Ben bridges here the editor in chief of the like you should make Farmers Guardian What have you found in the newspapers this morning it's a real it's a real mixed bag but you're talking about there are the pictures of the Queen on the from quite a lot of the papers shed and it's here at the set off yesterday because it's a 100 years since obviously that was that was constructed in 1919 so it's a 100 years on and the royal family doing their bit and leading the way and as you say quite right that we will remember them with whatever Poppy you know you won't really but. You know a couple members of my family so it's always we have the old medals hidden away in a drawer somewhere of you know Sean many people so many families we stories untouched by and like I said the agricultural community the year a lot of those forces were going to out there and it was brought to quite swift and so because of the nature of the war as well you know 1st 1st time I've ever seen war horse because it's on state they do it amazingly on stage but 1st time I've saw the film Oh dear. Boy did and it's just it's beautiful beautiful full well suited for. Somebody said to me in the pool that Christmas is started particularly this year no I don't think it particularly as I think. I think it always starts around about September now there's a shop in New York the gin shop it's bombed the plain of modern Christmas cheer such as Mariah Carey George Michael what ever it might be they are not playing any any modern or relatively modern Christmas songs because they want to save their rare the stuff from the hell of that on loop every day which I don't think is a bad idea actually I'm not I am known as The Office Home book but you know that this incident. I have bombed Christmas this year. Yeah yeah but yes so there's no no modern stuff in the gin shop in New York so if you want to you're a brick from it and you're over there just go in there along. May have read it wrong there's a. Coffee Shop that's bound laptops Yeah there is yeah in north London so it's beyond their laptops and laptops and tablets at weekends because it's a really cool go it I think is really a good thing as a brilliant brilliant thing especially in some of or more metropolitan cities is a thing where people just go and use the wife I and use it as a 2nd office really so yeah the bundle bundle weekends one I think one user of the coffee shop coffee shop said they were reading the newspaper on the tablet and they were told to were leave the premises if you go to a cafe or coffee shop or restaurant and your decision is based on whether they've got wife I there's a problem yeah you need to have a word to yourself really do you know not going that I got my wife I please it was funny I was I was on the Holmes mill in Clitheroe on Saturday night and I saw a gala where with a new partner and they were just both stood at the bar just they were talking to each other they were just on mobile so I thought I left them alone I thought. Tense tension by that voice Well to be found well on the. On the not of shops by himself there's a Sainsbury's in Halifax apparently has been chips from the children's menu in the fight against obesity and it's got quite a lot of the name shoppers which probably means a journalist has made this. City scarce and if it was just thinking if my 2 year old so the serving then we jacket potatoes he said Chips if my 2 year old was said the jacket presented to said it he would hit the roof it would not be worth you know they would bring them back pretty quick and it was a story last night. There's going to be a shortage of pigs in blankets Oh yeah I know people Scotland there are apparently so it's an exact are you know it's a fine art in the back and so the right length. In Gregg's all the places are available you can go and buy a pot of pigs in blankets really. Sounds delightful. You know the fun of a pig in a blanket I enjoy a pig in a blanket but it's going to be a premium pig in a blanket you know. With all due respect so you were to Greg's and understanding how the meat processing sector works but from what. You never know you never know one more story almost or what you were talking you would talk in this one about what people do whether they read exercise clubs or whatever the British become the 1st person to do a marathon in every country so Nick boasts a 30 run $196.00 marathons in 22 months which equates to 3 Americans every month and he's raising money. For a friend who's got cancer but he's raised over 2 150000 pounds for prostate cancer you care about 196 marathons I can't get over the 1st mine and I will thank you very much Ben break. Did you watch it last night week 8 of Strictly Come Dancing saw the remaining 8 couples fight for a place on the boats next week a. All they talked about they are gagging to come. Backstage get ready for the show one week. Amazing plays you sing all that as a kid so it means a lot to me in the fall being in my family and you're just being incredible I'm excited for. This. Everyone is so good this week because the stakes are so high it's a milestone in this competition if I make it it will be kind of. Everybody desperate desperate to get to Blackpool Let's find out who did better Redondo is here Betty good morning good morning it was a bit of a shock. Michelle bizarre went from 2nd on the leaderboard out of the judges scoring to being in the Don So really wasn't expecting that why do you think so because people didn't vote for her. Because it was it was a very good dance rhythm and I know I am struggling to understand to be honest to me she's one of the front runners in the competition but sometimes a shock like this can galvanize people to vote maybe that's what they did they thought she was safe they didn't vote for that's often what happens and they were voting instead to save other people at the bottom of the leaderboard they wanted to save like Chris Ramsey like Kareem you found himself in the very unusual position of being 3rd from bottom on the leaderboard on Saturday night no the less she was up against Mike No surprise there we used to say my initial in adults off it was his 4th week on the trot and frankly based on that choice I think the judges had a no brainer they chose to save Michele and we said goodbye to my bushel he's finally gone people is out a bit of a roller coaster ride over the last 4 weeks but what a joyous exit not only did he pick catcher up and got in tangled in a skirt and then couldn't extricate himself but then all of the other cast members rushed onstage did a conga and with him even Claudia in Tests were involved absolutely joyous He has been one of the standout stars of this year's Strictly in my opinion so many memorable performances the rhinestone cowboy American Smooth the magic might challenge the dogs with Colton himself you know the samba with when Alfonso was guest judge so lots and lots to remember about Mike and we spoke to him after the results show last night you paid tribute to capture the hours the commitment even sticking sequins on my talk. So many feedback after it finished the day with videos of clips and recording everything and just all the dedication commitment and I believe this incredible belief in choreography that she instilled at instills in u. . It's us on that and those who like it is most amazing most incredible coach not just in dancing but in any any walk of life so it's that poor next weekend springing downs flaw the famous towel boardroom only 7 celebrities left in the competition now so we are getting to the nitty gritty business and all the contrition there's not very many weeks left now and yet it's going to be fantastic what charge is going to do you know money on I think my money was on Kelvin Michelle saffron on a.j. a Very good night. Though you know if I'm any. Ok. Well you know if I don't any my money is still on Calvin I think you know if you think about the demographic of Strictly here yet people who are voting on Strictly it's middle aged women middle aged women not grandmas middle aged women you can be a middle aged grandma and they are hope not. Living so I don't but I don't want to but anyway I mean I think they are the people. Who are going to be voting for Calvin and I think he is still I think he wanted him weak want to be honest without Samba Yeah Ok Betty Redondo there are not a fellow sufferer that a.j.

Steel says the Chinese firm has a good record and that if the deal is secure it will be very welcoming a. Are looking to make significant investment are in it for the long term and therefore it isn't about keeping this site going for a year or 2 or couple of years from what I understand about the company it's about looking to the future so we're not going to be back here in 3 years 5 years or 10 years time any company that's going to buy British Steel needs to buy the whole operation and needs to commit to continual investment which is very needed people across Lancashire will mark Armistice Day with a 2 minute silence as 11 o'clock this morning the 2 main political parties are marking the day by promising extra support for military personnel and veterans labor say they only improve pay in housing conditions the conservatives have pledged to end what they call fixations legal claims and prosecutions against soldiers accused of wrongdoing lost in service they plan to amend the Human Rights Act So it can't be applied to incidents that happened before the legislation was introduced in 2000 that want to exclude many cases which occurred during Northern Ireland's troubles the defense secretary Ben Wallace says current prosecutions won't be Holter it but there has to be an end to a problem that he says has been turned into an industry or inquest going on at the moment to things that happened in the 1970 s. Yeah that have already been to 2 or 3 inquests and I'm not talking about the current as you say criminal investigations or criminal trials to go and we can't interfere with that you know we can't interfere with the judiciary quite rightly and they have instructed a number of inquiries but what we can do is make sure we draw a line for the future to stop this Meanwhile a woman from East Lancaster has been at the center of a controversy after she decided to design a rainbow colored Poppy to bring attention to the plight of l g b t soldiers Trudy House and from great Harwood works is the l.g. B.c.

That they would gate they were dishonorably discharged court martialled shots and food about the impact that that would have never seen anything quite like it was all full I became known but with no i was blind I was noticeable I was it not because I'm with you because when you're in the canal the smell of canals people so I think something because that.
