Also on the programme tonight the Breast Surgeon sentenced to 15 years injail. Ian paterson is sent to prison after performing completely unnecessary operations on patients after inventing or exaggerating the risk of cancer. Over four years of trauma and stress in trying to bring this man to account, no amount of Prison Sentence will ever compensate what myself and the other people affected have gone through. At least 90 people are killed in the Afghan Capital kabul after a truck bomb explodes in the diplomatic quarter. And the global accord to curb Carbon Emissions is President Trump about to withdraw america from the paris Climate Change deal . Coming up in Sportsday On Bbc NewsArsenal Majority Owner stan kroenke says Arsene Wenger is the best person to manage the club as his new two year deal is confirmed. Good evening. With just eight days to go until the election, one of the biggest debates of this campaign has just taken place in cambridge. There were seven Party Representatives involved, including the labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, whod announced earlier in the day that he would, after all, be attending. The Prime Minister theresa may did not take part, she said shed rather be out meeting voters on the campaign trail. Well have more on the days campaigning in a moment, but first tonights debate, which featured some forthright heres our deputy Political Editorjohn pienaar. Guess who came after all and what an entrance . Jeremy corbyn left it late but how could he resist trying to show up theresa may who stayed away . Maybe make up for the odd campaign gaffe. This was his chance and look at him, he meant to take it if he could. She came to stop him. Her leaders favourite, amber rudd. Fewer fa ns leaders favourite, amber rudd. Fewer fans but a leaders favourite, amber rudd. Fewerfans but a bigger motorcade and a single mission, take down Jeremy Corbyn. Wherever theresa may was, she wanted this, the nearest thing this election has to a contact sport, to go her way. Amber rudd was straight into the attack afterJeremy Corbyn criticised treatment of those on disability benefits. You are not credible. There is no extra payment you dont want to add to, no tax you dont want to rise. But the fa ct tax you dont want to rise. But the fact is we have to concentrate resources on the people who need it most, and we have to stop thinking as you do that there is a magic money tree. You have to be accountable. I would like to bring in other parties. It was already a personal confrontation. The labour leader counterattacking on poverty. I would just say this, since amber rudd seems confident this is a country at ease with itself, have you been to a food bank, have you seen people sleeping around our stations . Have you seen. Applause. Have you seen the level. I would like to answer your attack. Because of your governments conscious decisions on benefits. For amberto conscious decisions on benefits. For amber to say this is a government that cares for those most vulnerable i think is downright insulting to the people that i see in my constituency surgery. This was a seven sided debate. Brexit was inevitably a big issue tonight. Passion and heat from all sides. We have to get the population under control because if we carry back will have a population of 80 million. There will have to be a huge School Building programme, new hospitals, new motorways, a new rail network, new houses, we are already having to build a house every seven minutes to keep up with the numbers of people coming to this country. Minutes to keep up with the numbers of people coming to this countrylj am afraid ukip keep using this issue, they want to whip up peoples hatred, division and fear and thats why they talk about immigration all the time. I think this debate shames and demeans us all, i dont think there is anyone in this room or anybody watching this debate from cornwall to kithness doesnt jn stand the positive contribution people have made who have come to this country and demonising them is unacceptable. Amber rudd took her opportunity, if theresa may had come along she would have said what her stand in said next. Along she would have said what her standin said next. I was thinking how chaotic it would be if they tried to run a government. Jeremy corbyn was put under pressure. He had come to apply pressure of his own, on pensions. You have said very clearly. Have you not read my manifesto, i am clearly. Have you not read my manifesto, lam happy clearly. Have you not read my manifesto, i am happy to give you a copy. I would like the answer now. Are you going to protect. Theyre going to get rid of it, jeremy. Terrorism was always going to be a hot topic. And it was. I am shocked thatJeremy Corbyn just in 2011 boasted that he had opposed every piece of anti terror legislation in his 30 years in office. My opposition to anti terror legislation isnt opposition to protecting us from terrorism, it is simply saying there must be judicial oversight over what is done in our name. You cannot give. Applause. It got heated. Ukips leader demanded more action against extremists from muslims, too much for tim farron. You have to rebuild trust and confidence in prevent. You know the murderer last monday was reported five separate occasions by the muslim community. They want our safety as much as anybody else. Then it was over. No Knockout Blows but this Fight Heating up. Just a week to go. So as weve seen, amber rudd represented the conservatives here this evening. The Prime Minister spent most of the day campaigning. She visited the west country, where she was challenged about not giving enough detail on her partys policies. Mrs may insisted she was listening to voters and rejected accusations that her decision not to go to cambridge tonight was a sign of weakness. 0ur Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg reports on the campaign trail. There is Flash Photography in her report. London, 9. 00am. Days to go. A rare sight these days, an Old Fashioned press conference. Labour attacking the tories on public services. Patients are suffering ever longer waits in overcrowded wards. Those who need care have been left without it. A e and Maternity Units in whole hospitals are threatened with closure. Children are crammed into overcrowded and crumbling classrooms. Schools are sending home begging letters to the parents. It has to change. Rather than preparing, or even considering tonights big debate, theresa may was up early with the boats. Then a campaign classic, sampling the produce at a county show. Notably, the Prime Minister on the road today in parts of the country, the south west, the tories are trying to defend. But elsewhere, labour and the leaders crowds are enjoying being the insurgent underdog. Its about 11. 30am and were on the road in reading. This rally of people packed, waiting to hear from Jeremy Corbyn. Its just a case of vote for me, not that horrible man. Ive come to see the horrible man because hes not horrible. Hes very sensible. Its relatable to people and he understands what young people really want. Their heros welcome, ready to commit that he will debate with or without the pm. I invite her to go to cambridge and debate her policies, debate her record, debate their plans, debate their proposals, and let the public make up their mind. 0n the move, but heading the other way, the Prime Minister wont respond to heckles or agree to those chanted demands to show her face tonight. Show your face staff at this factory in bath did try to put her on the spot. But applauded when she was asked about not showing tonight. But could she really laugh it off . Look. Hes now up for a head to head debate. Doesnt it suggest that youre frightened of taking him on directly if you dont go too . No, you know, laura, first of all, ive been taking Jeremy Corbyn on directly week in, week out, at Prime Ministers questions. Secondly, actually, yes, public scrutiny is for an Election Campaign but thats why taking questions from members of the public who are going to be voting on the 8thjune is so important. The risk she just looks scared. Isnt your decision not to take part in a debate tonight a bit of a metaphor for your whole campaign . Youre very happy to repeatedly criticise the labour party, but for your own plans youre reluctant to give us very much detail at all, whether thats on brexit, your future immigration system, how many people will lose their Winter Fuel Allowance . What ive done in terms of our manifesto has been open with the British Public about the great challenges that we face as a country over the next few years and beyond and how we will address those challenges. And you talk about the brexit negotiations, ive set out very clearly what our 12 objectives are for those brexit negotiations. I believe thats the right thing to do. Dont people want more from you, because youre basically saying on many of these big issues, ill get back to you . I think what we owe to people is to be open with them about the challenges we face as a society and as a country and be open with them about the solutions that were offering. But in campaigns the path is so often less smooth for those who start out in front. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, bath. 0ur Political Editor, Laura Kuenssberg, is with me. Will it change anything, laura . Well, sophie, ispoke will it change anything, laura . Well, sophie, i spoke to some of the audience tonight after the end of the debate, including some tory voters, and a couple of them were clearly very frustrated that theresa may hadnt bothered to show and in reverse pleased that jeremy may hadnt bothered to show and in reverse pleased thatJeremy Corbyn had made the effort to turn up and to debate the other parties here tonight. I think its pretty clear that in terms of today at least Jeremy Corbyn has had a tactical win. He has been seen to seize the initiative and come along and take part. I think its too early to say how thats going to play out with the wider electorate, those people who werent following every twist and turn of tonights debate, those people who hadnt necessarily paid much attention to what the line up was going to be, who the political players were all going to be at this big major event. In the spin room tonight where members of the press we re tonight where members of the press were watching and senior politicians we re were watching and senior politicians were trying to claim victory for their person, it hasnt felt really like a wake or a celebration for any of them. I think the truth is really none of the seven politicians on stage tonight had a cringe worthy disaster, nor did any of them, including Jeremy Corbyn, have some kind of big breakthrough moment that really feels like it will have a huge impact on the course of this campaign. I suspect by the time we get to the actual election, tonight might be remembered as the day when theresa may didnt turn up, rather than what anybody who was actually here actually said. Thank you. A Breast Surgeon is beginning a 15 year sentence in prison tonight for carrying out needless and life changing operations on nine women and one man. Ian paterson, whos 59, exaggerated the risk of cancer to persuade his patients to consent to surgery. Althought the case related to ten patients, its thought many more could have been affected. 0ur health editor, hugh pym, reports. A Rogue Surgeon who thought he was untouchable. He had the total trust of vulnerable patients, but he maimed and mutilated them. Now, ian paterson is behind bars. He caused me to have 23 operations. Some of his victims, who suffered from the operations he carried out, gathered before the sentencing this morning. Then they marched together into Nottingham Crown court, determined to see justice being done. Many warned of a cancer risk, had breast surgery, which proved to be unnecessary. They sat in Court Watching ian paterson, head bowed in the dock. Sentencing him, Mrjustice Jeremy Bakersaid in pursuit of your own Self Aggrandisement and the material rewards it brought from your private practice, you lost sight of the fact you were carrying out significant surgical procedures upon your patients. You deliberately played upon their worst fears, either by inventing or deliberately exaggerating the risks that they would develop cancer. The court also heard that his former patients endured pain and discomfort, with some suffering long term complications, anxiety and depression. I lost my home. I lost my marriage. I lost my health. I lost myjob. I lost absolutely everything. He took everything away from me. We may never know the real reason why he acted in such an evil way. Throughout the trial, he has made no attempt to show any remorse for his actions and maybe revealing his true character rather than the charming, professional man we all thought he was. Some questioned patersons 15 year Prison Sentence. He should be released on licence after seven and a half years. Weve all been given a life sentence. Hes just going to walk away a free man after seven and a half years and yet every morning we look in the mirror and the scars are there to remind us. So i think at the least he should serve the 15 years hes been given. For the victims, the battle doesnt end here. Their lawyers are preparing a High Court Civil action to be heard later this year, seeking damages from the hospitals and paterson himself. Solicitors say theyre acting for around 600 former patients, but more may come forward and the total number of victims could be 1,000, or even more. So, could there be another paterson . Medical regulators say there are much tougher safeguards now, with regular staff appraisals and surgeons working in teams who can challenge them. The safety net we have now in place is a very different one than existed at that time. Does it provide an absolute guarantee against people committing criminal acts . I cant give you that absolute guarantee. But what i can say is that if people do perpetrate such criminal acts, i would feel very confident that those would be picked up very quickly indeed. But private hospitals, where paterson and other surgeons work, are still not strictly regulated, according to medical leaders and even as he began his Prison Sentence, there have been calls for a wider enquiry into how patients were so badly let down. Hugh pym, bbc news, nottingham. At least 90 people, most of them civilians, have been killed and hundreds more injured after a massive Car Bomb Attack in the Afghan Capital, kabul. The countrys president , ashraf ghani, called it a crime against humanity. The bomb was detonated near Zanbaq Square in the heavily fortified zone during the morning rush hour. It struck the citys diplomatic quarter, damaging several foreign embassies. No one has admitted carrying out the attack. This report from our correspondent, caroline hawley, contains some distressing images. You could see from miles away the force of this explosion. A massive bomb ata force of this explosion. A massive bomb at a busy kabul intersection, hitting commuters on their way to work. Children on their way to school. It was a bomb so powerful it Shattered Windows up to a mile away, leaving a trail of horrific destruction. 0ne witness said it was like an earthquake. There were so many casualties, security vehicles had to double up as ambulances. The afg ha n had to double up as ambulances. The Afghan Government said hospitals in the capital were in dire need of blood. Translation i was working in the office when a powerful blast happened. I collapsed under the desk and received injuries from Shattered Windows. Most of the dead and injured were civilians, including many women and children. Among those killed is mohammed nazir, who worked for the bbc as a driver. The bbc said he was a popular colleague, with a young family. The area where the bomb went off is supposed to be one of the most secure parts of the capital, walking distance from the president ial palace. The bbcs correspondent was at the scene soon after the attack. It was a water tanker or a lorry full of explosive that hit this trannic location right in the heart of kabul. Its very close to the german embassy, indian embassy, french and british embassies. Even in a country thats become painfully used to violence, the scale of this attack has been a shock. Security in afghanistan has been deteriorating for some time. Most of the country was under government control by in 2014, when nato ended its combat mission. Since then, large swathes of territory have fallen to the taliban. Most of helmand, where so many british soldiers lost their lives, is now in taliban hands. So is much of the province of kunduz. Is has a presence in nangarhar. Us commanders are asking for several thousand more. At one point we had 150,000 Foreign Military boots on the ground. That did not weaken or destroy the taliban. So a few thousand more today is not going to bea thousand more today is not going to be a solution. Yes, in the short term it is going to give some support and better training to the Afg Ha N Support and better training to the Afghan Government and Afghan Security forces, but the insurgency will still be there. Afghan intelligence are blaming a network, no group has admitted to carrying out one of the Worstattacks Kabul has ever seen. Caroline hawley, bbc news. President trump is preparing to pull out of the paris climate deal to combat Global Warming thats according to Media Reports in america. Donald trump has not confirmed those reports, but hes said he will make an announcement in the next few days. Pulling out of the Climate Accord Signed in 2015 was one of President Trumps key campaign pledges. Well, our correspondent, nick bryant, is in washington for us tonight. If he does indeed do that, what will it mean . Sophie, the indications tonight, as you say, so far unconfirmed, the question is not whether america would withdraw from the paris accord how will it remove itself from the paris accord under the terms of the agreement its a three year exit process. The Trump Administration is said to be considering a Nuclear Option of opting out of all the uns Climate Change negotiating framework that would Short Circuit the process. It would happen in the space of a year. Climate change scientists are saying thats potentially cla maam us to it is brings close to the day when the planet reaches dangerous temperature levels. 0ne Climate Change scientists put it the Global Warming noose tightens. There is additional concern that other countries will follow americas lead. Two are outside the paris accord emit and that other nations might not be so committed to the Emissions Targets which are voluntarily. There is is talk of a Green Alliance between beijing and brussels the eu and china to make sure the Climate Change doesnt fall apart. Donald trump has chosen isolation on arguably the Biggest Issue facing the planet. Nick bryant, thank you. Its a war thats largely been forgotten. But libyas descent into chaos, After The Fall of general gaddafi six years ago, has created a broken state and a Breeding Ground for terrorism. Its been exploited by so called Islamic State, whove been drawing in young men, like the manchester bomber, salman abedi. Hed only recently returned from libya when he blew himself up. 0ur middle east correspondent, quentin sommerville, has been talking to another man from manchester a former friend of abedis who travelled to libya, not to support the Islamic State group, but to fight them. His report contains flashing images and scenes which some viewers may find disturbing. Gunfire libyas been ripping itself apart for years. Much ignored, it seemed far off, but were more involved in this fight than we ever realised. These home videos are from benghazi and one faction, the Libyan National army. Its a foreign war, but this fighter is from manchester. The boys from moss side became libyas soldiers. Mohamed el sharif has taken up arms against islamists, including the so called Islamic State. He Left Manchester in 2011, and never went back. People at that time wanted to come to libya. I knew he could come to libya. Just come. Go book a ticket to tunisia. Book a ticket to egypt. Book a ticket to wherever and then just get a taxi into libya. Once they know youre in libya they know youre living, thats it, nobody can topple you. Its your hometown, its your city. This is home now, drugs are widespread, Dulling The Monotony and the wounds of young fighters. In this madness, the Islamic State is waiting for the right moment and the right recruit. Make sure they dont go to that path, if you know what i mean. Like, if you needed them to do what they do, theres people that are looking for young lads to blow themselves up. To do stuff like that. Theyre going to find them. Theyre going to convince them. Theyre going to make them do and do and do. Yeah, thiss salman that. Thats salman right there. Thats salman. He was once good friends with the manchester bomber, salman abedi, but they chose different sides in libyas war. They havent seen each other in five years. The fighting changed both men. Ive been in wars for over three years. Ive seen so much blood. I wouldnt go blow myself up. Gunfire but life here is warped. Mohamed was filmed proudly desecrating is corpses. You posted a video on instagram, tell me what happened . Why did you shoot those bodies . It is wrong. It is, obviously. What can i say to you. I do regret it but, what can i say, they deserved to do die, too. They deserved to die because they killed so many people. Gunfire the journey to here from manchester was quick and it was easy. These two worlds overlap. Mohmmed stayed in libya, but salman abedi brought the violence back home with him. Libyas chaos wont be contained. Quentin sommerville, bbc news, eastern libya. Back to the election now and the largest Unionist Party in Northern Ireland, the dup, has launched its manifesto, promising to work for the best deal in the brexit talks. The party also pledged to make tourism a billion pound industry and called for a Public Holiday to celebrate Northern Irelands centenary in 2021. The dups leader and former first minister, arlene foster, said she wanted a mandate for talks aimed at restoring power sharing at stormont. But above all, she said, the election was about making sure Northern Ireland remains in the uk. 0njune 8th, im asking people to get Northern Ireland back on the right track. To vote to get the best deal for Northern Ireland. To strengthen our hands in the upcoming negotiations. To get the assembly back up and running, to protect our place within the United Kingdom and to unite behind one strong unionist voice. Northern irelands Alliance Party has also launched its election manifesto, promising progressive and pro european politics. The manifesto includes a series of commitments on power sharing in the assembly, the economy and justice, but focuses on brexit. This is a manifesto which pledges to oppose a hard brexit, support a special deal for Northern Ireland and which will give the public the final say on the outcome of those brexit negotiations. The way we consume our daily news is changing, with a growing generational divide. Nowadays, Younger Voters are relying less on newspapers and more on the internet and social media. But does that make them more prone to so called fake news . 0ur media editor, amol rajan, has been finding out. Archive yes, its fleet street, but how many of you know the inside story on the stories you read . 0nce home to britains newspapers, for decades fleet street provided the life blood of our body politic. Those are vanished times of course, thanks to the digital revolution, but for all the talk of the death of papers, the presses are still rolling. Read by nearly eight Million People in britain every day, papers often set the wider news agenda. These days the Daily Telegraph is much more thanjust a newspaper, but in it is printed form it still boasts nearly half a million half a million readers, the majority of them conservative inclined with an average age of 57. If we wield any influence its because of the influence of our readers and were lucky to have many of them and many of them are influential. Its true that Print Circulation is in decline somewhat, but we still sell more than 450,000 newspapers every day. Even as their Print Circulations fall and they move online, titles like the mighty telegraph still wield enormous influence and have a hot line to number ten. But there is another conversation going on during this election, one in which websites with a very different following tell a very different story. One such website is skwuawkbox, its anonymous author, a hard left member of the labour party and Pressure Group momentum, spoke to us on the condition that we would preserve his anonymity, saying he operates below the radar of traditional media and fears for his familys safety. Many of his articles go viral, with some achieving hundreds of thousands of readers. The way that Social Media Works in facebook, more than twitter, is that youve got this kind of venn diagrams, the overlapping circles with peoples sphere of influence and acquaintance and that person might be somebody youre already preaching to the choir, but their auntie or uncle, who sees their facebook feed, might not be. Their friend that theyre connected to from work and its that overspill around the edges of peoples social media circles that interest me because thats where the message gets out and you get a chance to actually change opinion. With a lot of these sites that are popping up, their entire purpose is to destroy the status quo. They dont want to give a fair hearing to both sides. They dont want to engage with the opposition. They dont want to have the relationships that journalists traditionally do with politicians. Their entire purpose is to smash the system. In the uk, the older you are, the more likely you are to get most of your news from tv, but the comparison of print and online shows a growing generation divide. The younger you are, the greater the dependence on the internet for news. 84 of young people mostly get their news online, with social media playing a key role. Just 4 of the same age range turn to newspapers first. The headlines are fairly sensationalist. Theyre fairly emotionally charged. In analysis published this evening, researchers at the Oxford Internet institute conclude that so far british voters are getting less false or misleading news on twitter than americans saw in last years president ial election. Its not as big of a problem as it was in the states. We found that in the lead up to this election people are sharing quality news. So news from professional news organisations, and thats 53 of the total content shared. Junk news has been around 13 , so a big difference there. Social media have created Echo Chambers where younger and often left leaning audiences find and an alternative news agenda. The Balance Of Power within the News Ecosystem is shifting their way, even though many politicians are yet to realise. Amol rajan, bbc news. The arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, says he is happy and excited after signing a new two year deal to remain in charge at the club, ending months of speculation about his future
