Promising a Mainstream Government for mainstream britain. In the way State Pension is calculated. There would be more funding for schools in england but free lunches would no longer be available for all students. And conservatives would keep the same target on immigration, aiming for a net figure of less than 100,000 a year. More detail and reaction when we start with laura kuenssberg. 0utside. Inside. Theresa may says she wants to end political tribes. Tell them. Getting rid of your nurses. I have been a nurse for 27 years and we are on our knees. The tory manifesto is meant to be a blueprint for what she now calls the mainstream. Yet with protesters at the gates, the tories were whisked in behind tight lines to make their case. With brexit the backdrop, theresa mays ambitions are plainly far wider than that. I believe that our United Kingdom can emerge from this period of national change stronger, fairer and more prosperous than ever before. And i believe we can and must take this opportunity to build a great meritocracy here in britain. Let us be in no doubt, it will not be easy. But with discipline and focus, effort and hard work, and above all a unity of purpose, stretching across this Precious Union of nations, from north to south and east to west, i believe we can and must go forward together. But all that depends on getting the Mind Bendingly complicated brexit right. If you were looking for detail on how, it wasnt here today. But all of this depends on getting the next five years right. If we fail, the consequences for britain and for the Economic Security of ordinary working people will be dire. If we succeed, the opportunities ahead of us are great. Those are, she says, a long Term Solution to caring for the elderly. More or less matching labours promise of cash for the nhs. And new grammar schools. But the same broken target for immigration, fewerfree hot meals at primary school, and for the tories, who have been in charge already for seven years, pushing back a promise to clear the deficit until 2025. And herfinale, a contentious claim to stand for all. For too many people in britain today, life is simply much harder than many seem to think or realise. They are not ideological, they dont buy into grander visions. They are not fooled by politicians who promise the earth and claim no tough choices are required. They make those choices every day in their own lives and understand politicians who aspire to lead must do the same. With the right brexit deal secured, my Mainstream Government will deliver for mainstream britain. So i offer myself as your Prime Minister. Come with me as i lead britain, strengthen my hand as i fight for britain and stand with me as i deliverfor britain. And with confidence in ourselves and a unity of purpose in our country, let us all go forward together. 0vation inside. But anger outside. Tories in a mill in yorkshire. You couldnt make it up. What do you think of the tories coming to yorkshire today. Its a disgrace, laura. They are not welcome. In last six years they are running our industry is down. One of the tories biggest claims is Jeremy Corbyn wants to take this to the 1970s. They want to take us to the 1870s. Its ridiculous. You are ditching the manifesto that more families and tory voters will have to pay more for elderly care. Many families will lose hot meals for children at school. You are pushing back balancing the books again. And your Immigration Proposals might cost billions to the economy. When you put that all together, wouldnt some voters be quite entitled to conclude that adds up to quite a bleak picture . Not at all. What im putting forward is a vision for opportunity and prosperity across the whole of the country for the future. I have been clear that there are hard choices that need to be taken. Its making sure we are honest with the public. Its wrapped up as a new kind of sensible conservatism. But is everyone signed up . The entire cabinet has just filed past after the Prime Ministers speech. Nobody will talk to us about whether or not this truly is a new kind of conservatism and whether or not they are all happy about what she just outlined. Her pitch is safety first. But there are dangers in her plans. As the Prime Minister left through jeers and protests, her dream of an end to left and right are seen as a long way off. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, halifax. President trump has declared that hes the victim of the Greatest Political Witch Hunt in us history. He was responding to the news that a Special Investigator has been appointed to look at claims of russian interference in the president ial election and of links between the trump team and russian officials. The man wholl lead the inquiry is robert mueller, a former director of the fbi. 0ur Washington correspondent Aleem Maqbool reports the president s just not happy with the scrutiny he continues to come under over his links with russia. The entire thing has been a witch hunt. And there is no collusion between, certainly myself and my campaign. But i can only speak for myself and the russians, zero. I think it divides the country. I think we have a very divided country because of that and many other things. The Major Development of the last 2a hours is the appointment of a Special Prosecutor to oversee the prosecution. Mueller is in respected by both sides of parliament. Probably the best thing that has happened is that the Deputy Attorney general did appoint robert mueller, a man of integrity, to act as special console in this issue and i think that is of some comfort to all of us. I believe that the professionals and the Justice Department need to do theirjobs independently, objectively and thoroughly and i believe the special counsel, robert mueller, helps them do that. What is he what is he investigating . It breaks down into three main areas. Russian influence on the election, look at possible hacking and leaks. Russian collusion with the trump campaign. So meeting and financial ties with the two. And obstruction of the russia inquiry, looking at whether donald trump tried to get the former fbi director to drop key parts of the investigation. At any atany time at any time did you urge the former fbi Directorjames Comey in any way shape orform fbi Directorjames Comey in any way shape or form to fbi Directorjames Comey in any way shape orform to back fbi Directorjames Comey in any way shape or form to back down the investigation. No. No. Next question. After the president fired the last man leading the inquiry, it feels with this appointment that the russia investigation can get back on track but there are many who feel that donald trump, for whatever reason, is not behaving like a man who wants that. Aleem maqbool, bbc news, washington. One woman has been killed and 19 other people injured after a motorist drove into pedestrians in new york.

The entertainer is still on trial at Southwark Crown court, accused of indecently assaulting three teenagers between 1971 and 1983. Hes expected to appear in court in person and denies all the charges against him. A former Television Producer has been convicted of trying to hire three men to kill his partner. The old bailey heard that david harris, whos 68 and from amberley in west sussex, had wanted to be rid of hazel allison, so that he could inherit herfortune and then live with his 28 year old girlfriend. 0ur correspondent Duncan Kennedy reports. For 30 years david harris and Hazel Allenson were partners but harris had a secret, ugne cekaviciute, a woman hed met in a brothel but he couldnt afford to wine and dine her, so harris tried to trick, not one, not two, but three innocent men into becoming hitmen. His aim was to get rid of hazel and get his hands on their £800,000 house here in west sussex. Harris on the left was secretly recorded by one of the so called hitmen who was alarmed by the plan. I mean whatever happens, the £150 grand is there, thats yours. 0bviously whatever happens it will look like an accident or a mugging gone wrong or something. Another of the supposed hitmen was duke dean, who met harris in london. Dean said he couldnt believe what harris wanted and went to the police. Did you get the impression he was serious about getting rid of hazel . He was stone serious about that. Thats what he wanted . Desperately right. Harris told police he was researching a hitman novel, like Day Of The Jackal and wanted to meet a real hitman. But the police say the book didnt exist. This was a man who in fact was a very manipulative, conniving and ruthless individual. Detectives say harris was driven by greed and lust but thankfully failed three times to kill the woman he had spent his life with. Duncan kennedy, bbc news. Lets have a look at some of the front pages. The Financial Times leads on what it says is theresa mays break with the thatcherite past of the tory party.

Tomorrows express has an interview with the brexit Secretary Talking tougher over the upcoming negotiations with the european union.

Five years later because of our long Term Economic plan and the difficult decision. Come with me as i lead britain. Strengthen my hand as i fight for britain and stand with me as i deliver for britain. Theresa may spells out a more statist conservatism ditching dozens of her predecessors policies from just two years ago. So whats her philosophy . When our Political Editor asked, she was reluctant to define one. There is no mayism. I know that you journalists like to write about it. One thing thats unchanged is the tory immigration target. The Defence Secretary tells us whether it will continue to be as functionally meaningless as it has been for the last two manifestos. It is an aim and we intend to continue to aim to reduce the level of immigration as we have set out. Also tonight we are in blazing sunshine in hartlepool which binds itself on the Tory Target List for the first time in decades
