The European Union. Our Political Correspondent ben wright reports. May day means a bite and barrows festival in this lancashire village. And people seem keen to peddle their politics. But the election was not the main concern here this morning. A different sort of contest was. Ready to shoot. The tories are targeting many marginal seats like this in lancashire. And their message that wrecks that negotiations are going to be tough and that theresa may is best placed to handle them sits at the heart of their election campaign. But this tough . A german newspaper has published an account by unnamed eu officials of a dinner held last week at number ten between theresa may and the eu negotiating team. It describes deep disagreements between the two sites. According to the paper, the Prime Minister and the Eu Commission president , Jean Claude Juncker, seen here before the dinner, clashed over the exit bill britain must pay, the structure of the talks, and the prospects of a quick trade deal. Apparently Jean Claude Juncker left the dinner ten times more sceptical than he was beforehand, and he found theresa may showed no to compromise. The Prime Minister was also in lancashire today, on the stump in trying to stamp out talk of a fracture with brussels. Is the account of the meeting true, and has brexit off the rails before the talks have even started . Rails before the talks have even started . I have to say that from what i have seen this account i think it is Brussels Gossip. And just look at what the European Commission themselves said immediately after dinner took place, which was that the talks had been constructive. But describing the account of acrimony and division between britain and the eu as Brussels Gossip is not the same as dismissing it as nonsense. She and Jean Claude Juncker clearly dont see eye to eye. May day means workers solidarity for labour, but there was no fraternity from opposition parties, for a Prime Minister under pressure. To start negotiations by threatening to walk away with no deal and set up the sort of no tax economy on the shores of europe is not a very sensible way of europe is not a very sensible way of approaching people with whom half of approaching people with whom half of our trade is done at the present time. The revelations overnight showed theresa may being guilty of astonishing arrogance and complacently, that she feels that somehow the lack of any deal, no free trade deal, no co operation on peace and security, but that is somehow acceptable to families up and down this country. This matters because brexit will shape our people in lancashire and elsewhere will vote. If she does it, which i presume she well, it strengthens her argument, doesnt it . Obviously it is going to be a difficult time during brexit, and if she wants to push through and put through what we needis push through and put through what we need is a country, is a government, she need the backing and to know that she can have the support of the country, with her being elected. That she can have the support of the country, with her being electedlj think country, with her being elected. think she called that because she knows she is going to win, doesnt she . I think she is coming under the brexit banner, really, but it wouldnt change the way will vote, i dont think, which is labour. Brexit will be a difficult balance between the uk and brussels, and this leaked account from the eu side shows a willingness to brief about the talks to their advantage. But it also reveals that, on many issues, besides a far apart, and the mood is farfrom besides a far apart, and the mood is far from mary. Police have revealed more details of the burglary in dorset in which a businessman was shot dead. They say the men broke into the property Wearing Balaclavas. One of them armed with a shotgun. Jewellery and watches were stolen, as our correspondent reports. It has been described as one of the most exclusive residential neighbourhoods in southern england, but it is now the scene of a murder investigation. Dozens of officers have been searching for clues, in what has become a wide ranging inquiry. Police say guy hedger, who was 61, was shot in the early hours of yesterday morning. He later died of his injuries. This afternoon, detectives said this was an horrific act of gun violence on the tranquil edges of the new forest. We believe there was a level of preplanning within this offence. It appears that the offenders have actually gone prepared to be confronted. They were Wearing Balaclavas and in possession of a shotgun. Police say jewellery, including some designer watches, were taken in the robbery. A friend and former Work Colleague of guy hedger told us his death was deeply shocking. Well, its a very close knit business, so the sense of shock and upset will be felt very deeply. We will give as much support to our people as we can, and well offer our sympathy and condolences to his broader family and friends at this distressing time, as well. Police say another Man Living In The House was unharmed, and could be an important witness. This is an area with large, detached houses behind imposing electronic gates, with many residents here profoundly unsettled by what has happened. Well, i think its absolutely dreadful, really. Absolutely awful, sickening. This evening, the police said that mr hedgers family had been left devastated by what has happened. They said a postmortem examination was carried out this afternoon, and they have again renewed their appeal for any witnesses who might have seen anything to come forward as soon as possible. Dorset has one of the lowest Gun Crime Profiles of anywhere in britain. But this violent burglary in the heart of the english countryside is now at the centre of an intensive police investigation. In france, four Police Officers have been injured during clashes with protestors, as both candidates in the president ial election held rallies in the final week of campaigning. The far right contender Marine Le Pen has attacked her rival as the continuity candidate, while Emmanuel Macron said the future of europe is at stake in this election. Our paris correspondent Lucy Williamson reports. The second round of french elections has been the graveyard of far right dreams of power. Used to facing a united front of all her rivals, Marine Le Pen is now calling on voters to unite against someone else, her liberal opponent. Translation the enemy of the french people all is still the world of finance, but now it has a name, it has a face, it has a party. It wants to be elected, and it is called Emmanuel Macron. Her image in the campaign has become softer, a mother and a woman of the people. Translation the french are being fooled less and less. Theyre fed up of taking orders from people who have always deceived them. At a rally today, she attacked mr macron as a back door socialist, soft on terror, a friend of high finance and too easily irritated to be head of state. For decades, the Front National has influenced french politics from the margins. Now Marine Le Pen says the party represents the mainstream on issues like immigration and the eu. But many voters still fear that she would unravel frances democratic traditions, and that fear, as one paper put it, is her political glass ceiling. By the river seine today, Emmanuel Macron honoured a moroccan man killed by far right supporters two decades ago, a reminder of the controversial history that dogs the Front National. But support for the far right is growing here, and on a visit to frances rural heartland over the weekend, he told us that this election was the last call for frances membership of the eu. To have almost half of this country angry with the european idea, so we have to reform this europe. We need a new European Union in situation, to protect our people and to regulate our globalisation. If, the day after, i decide to follow up and pursue the current functioning of the European Union, i will betray my people. I dont want to do so, because the day after, we will have a frexit, or we will have the Front National again. There were scuffles today on the margin of an anti fn march, injuring several police. But the success of the far right parties isnt the shock that it used to be, and rather than voting for liberal reform, some on the left are wondering whether to vote at all. Three women have been arrested on suspicion of terror offences after raids in east london. The arrests are being linked to the Counter Terrorism operation in which a woman was shot and injured in North West London last thursday. A total of ten people have now been arrested in connection with whats known as the harlesden road police operation. Social Media Companies have been accused of a disgraceful failure in their efforts to tackle Terrorist Propaganda and hate speech online. The Commons Home Affairs select Committee Says the firms are putting more effort into protecting their profits, than keeping people safe. Google, facebook and twitter have previously defended their approach to online safety. Richard galpin reports. Propaganda videos from extremists. Hate speech. Sexualised images of children. All should be removed much more rapidly from social media sites, according to todays report. The Home Affairs Committee took evidence from the tech giants facebook, twitter and google, which owns youtube. They have billions of users around the world, and mps have lost patience. Well, i think the richest and Biggest Companies in the world have both the ability and a responsibility to make sure that this kind of illegal and dangerous material is removed. I dont think they are taking this seriously enough, and they need to. And it is notjust angry words being fired off at the tech firms. The report also suggests some tough sanctions, imposing multimillion pound fines on Companies Failing to remove unacceptable posts fast enough, and forcing them to pay for Police Investigations into suspect online material. But some charities want mps to go further. The nspcc thinks there should be an independent regulator to hold social Media Companies to account, and that that regulator should have teeth, in other words the ability to force companies to take certain actions. But is it really possible for the companies to pick out extremist and abusive material amid the millions of posts being put up on social media sites every day . There is certainly more that companies can do, and they themselves have acknowledged that. They could improve takedown times, partnering with each other to flag content across platforms. But we should also be careful. The way that systems work, the way that platforms work, is that they have a limited liability for the content on there, much like the post office cant steam open every envelope to see if a criminal is sending a message to another criminal. So, at the moment, social Media Companies are still largely reliant on their users reporting what they consider to be illegal material. And, for the mps who wrote todays report, that is not acceptable. They are now expecting the tech giants to do much more. Donald trump says he is not ruling out face to face talks with north koreas leader, kim jong un, amid tensions about its nuclear programme. The us president said he would be honoured to meet him, under the right circumstances. The white house Spokesman Sean Spicer later added that such a meeting could not take place under the current conditions. We have got to see their provocative behaviour ratcheted down immediately. Those are the conditions that i think would have to happen with respect to its behaviour, and to show signs of good faith. Clearly conditions are not there right now, but i think the president has made it clear, as secretary tillerson said the other day, that if the conditions are clear, if the circumstances present themselves, we would be prepared to, but they are clearly not at this time. Japan has dispatched its largest warship to protect a Us Navy Supply Ship as it crosses japanese waters in the western pacific. Its the First Time Ever that japan has sent one of its war ships to sea with the purpose of protecting a Foreign Military vessel. Japan amended its security law last year to allow such missions. From tokyo, Rupert Wingfield hayes reports. The izumo is the pride of the japanese navy. The biggest warship the country has built since world war ii. Todays departure is hugely symbolic. The izumo will escort and protect this Us Navy Supply Ship, and will respond with force if it comes under attack. Forjapans military, this is another big step away from pacifism. Just across the sea of japan, Satellite Photos show north korea is preparing for another underground nuclear test. Speaking on sunday, us President Donald Trump again warned pyongyang not to go ahead. I would not be happy. If he does a nuclear test, i will not be happy. And i can tell you also, i dont believe that the president of china, who is a very respected man, will be happy. If pyongyang is worried, it is not showing it. Today it vowed to go ahead with the nuclear test, atany time and at any location. This all comes two days after north korea test fired another of its growing family of ballistic missiles. The fifth test this year. Meanwhile, the Uss Carl Vinson Carrier Battle Group has finally arrived in waters off the korean peninsula. The huge ship and its escorts are a very potent symbol of americas military might. But what are they here to do . President trump is not giving many clues. Ijust dont want people to know what my thinking is. So eventually he will have a better delivery system, and if that happens, we cant allow it to happen. For the first time, the us president acknowledged the terrible consequences that could result from a Military Strike against north korea. Massive warfare, with millions potentially millions of people being killed. That, as we would say, trumps trade. Tensions are now higher than at any time since north koreas young dictator, kim jong un, came to power in 2011. Despite the heated rhetoric, neither side wants a conflict. But, when tensions are high, so are the dangers of miscalculation. The headlines on bbc news theresa may has dismissed as Brussels Gossip an account of sharp disagreements about brexit during a meeting with the european Commission President , Jean Claude Juncker. Dorset Police Believe a burglary in which a businessman was shot dead in his own home was a targeted attack. Detectives say theyre hunting at least two suspects. French riot police have clashed with protesters on the sidelines of a may day march led by trade unions and anti racism campaigners. Lets catch up now with the sport.

And he did just that. Selby takes home the trophy for a third time as well as a winners cheque for £375,000. When i was 10 4 down, i was missing everything and i e had nothing left. Isaid to everything and i e had nothing left. I said to myself to come on, pull myself together. Because if i was going to go down and lose, at least come down fighting. And, fortu nately, come down fighting. And, fortunately, john missed a few balls he would not expect him to miss and it gave me a chance to get back in the match.

The Palestinian Militant Group hamas has published its first new Policy Document since its founding charter, in an effort to soften its image. In the document, hamas declares its willingness to accept an interim palestinian state within the pre 1967 boundaries, but without recognising israels right to exist. Earlier i spoke with our middle east correspondent who told me more about the new document. What we see in this new Policy Document is a much more moderate language and softening of the positions that are widely quoted from its founding charter, Written Backin from its founding charter, written back in 1988. So, in particular here, you do not have any recognition of israel still and you do not have hamas giving up its claim to all of historic palestine including present day israel but it does talk clearly hear about accepting a palestinian state in what is known as the pre 1967 borders, that is the west bank of the gaza strip and with East Jerusalem as the capital. There is also some different language about the jewish faith and aboutjews. There are many religious references to the need to fight againstjews to as muslims and to bring about, ultimately, judgement day. That has all been dropped and it is now emphasise that the struggle not being with jews emphasise that the struggle not being withjews but emphasise that the struggle not being with jews but with emphasise that the struggle not being withjews but with watch hamas refers to as the zionist project.
