In sport drama On The Last Day of the season. Arsenal miss out, liverpool are back in the Champions League and john terry stages a theatrical goodbye at Stamford Bridge. And with a week of sunshine on the way, carols at the Chelsea Flower Show. Good morning from the garden designed by chris birchall. It is stunning. There is over 3000 plants. It looks like its been here forever and its a Pleasant Start the day. This week, generally speaking, it be warm. By the weekend, some of us will have temperatures possibly into the low 30s, not all of us. A few of us the low 30s, not all of us. A few of us will see some rain. I will have all of the details in 15 minutes. Good morning. First, our main story. Labour is making a fresh appeal to young voters by bringing forward its promise of abolishing tuition fees, to include students starting university this autumn. The party says it would write off the first year of tuition fees for english students starting university in england this september, if it wins next months General Election. University tuition fees are due to rise to 9,250 pounds a year in the autumn, and will begin to go up every year in line with inflation. Labour says legislation will be in place to abolish the charges for students starting university in 2018 but it has now revealed it will immediately write off the first year for those starting this autumn. Students part way through their course would not have to pay for the remaining years. The party says the 9. 5 billion pound annual cost of abolishing tuition fees would be paid for by increasing income tax for people earning over 80,000 pounds, and reversing cuts to Corporation Tax. The conservatives and the Liberal Democrats have both said they would keep the fees at their current level. Lets speak to our Political Correspondent chris mason, whos in westminster this morning. What you make of these latest plans . Good morning. It was published in Bradford Last week. What is striking todayis Bradford Last week. What is striking today is labour, as you say, turbocharging what they announced last week. On page 43, labour says it believes education should be free and they will restore this principle. They said the average student starts working life in debt of £44,000. What we didnt know when this document was published was exactly when it would kick in. As you say, they say it will kick in for english students at English Universities from this september. Not having to pay tuition fees on arrival at university and stopping the payments if you are midway through your course. Now, this is an idea clearly laser focused at younger people who are disproportionately useless, lets be honest, at registering to vote. As you say, the deadline to register it at midnight tonight. 34 of under age people have not registered. Labour says it is a point of principle. A lot of Northern European countries have similar policy. They say it will unburden stu d e nts policy. They say it will unburden students from that and the conservatives say there are more disadvantaged students at in which universities now than ever before. Chris mason, thank you very much, we will beat you throughout the morning. Disproportionately useless, the phrase of the morning. The important point is tonight, midnight, is the deadline. Scotlands Party Leaders have clashed over the question of independence during a televised debate. The snps Nicola Sturgeon said voters should have the option of leaving the United Kingdom to avoid a hard brexit. But Ruth Davidson of the scottish conservatives said she should respect the result of the referendum in 2014. 0ur scotland correspondent, lorna gordon, reports.

There is a simple way to make it happen, nicola. Take the second referendum of the table the Manifesto Publishing in scotland tomorrow is clearly against it. Because of the £15 billion worth of the additional cuts. For the snp, it is always, always about independence. Today, every other day it could be any excuse every other day it could be any excuse at all. For the greens and ukip, this debate was a chance to put their case to the wider public. All six leaders responded to questions from the audience. The snp record after ten years in government in holyrood, under scrutiny in areas such as health and education, Conservatives In Westminster in the spotlight as well. Conservative plans to change the way elderly people in england pay for care would lead to a postcode lottery, according to a former lib dem pensions minister. The changes would see councils in england recoup care costs from the sale of peoples homes after they die. But research by steve webb, who now works for the pensions firm, royal london, found some local councils have yet to set up a scheme to reclaim the money. The conservatives insist the changes would ensure fairness across the generations. President trump will arrive in israel today, on the second leg of his first overseas tour.

Not everywhere, as i stress. Thank you very much, you were hidden by the map at one point, but we found you again. Shall we have a look at the front pages . The guardian are looking at facebook, calling it the facebook files, and they have done an investigation lifting the lid on the policies moderators use to decide what Content Moderators use to decide what co nte nt to moderators use to decide what content to delete or allow. A very interesting insight into what they have been finding there. The front page of the daily telegraph, carol is that the Chelsea Flower Show, thatis is that the Chelsea Flower Show, that is their main picture this morning. The main story is about Jeremy Corbyn engulfed in ira furore. He was asked to condemn the group and refuse to, five times. Cuties who stole the show, of course referring to that wedding over the weekend. The front page of the express, they often talk about sunshine and whether, weather. The story about lynton crosby, attack story on the front page of that paper. A tax story. The Prime Ministers plans could be overturned by authorities. And i have something about yellow dust is ina minute. Have something about yellow dust is in a minute. I saw that, and it alarmed me because i am a big yellow dusters fan. And they have admitted thatjohn terrys dusters fan. And they have admitted that john terrys appearance dusters fan. And they have admitted thatjohn terrys appearance at Sta Mford Thatjohn terrys appearance at Stamford Bridge was staged. Who plays any game of football and goes off after 26 minutes . Well, john terry does. It is he wears the 26 shirt and this was all part of 26 minutes, they had agreed the sunderland keeper would keep the ball out of play, so there would be a stoppage. John terry would go off to this guard of honour. Lots of criticism in the papers. A bbc pundit said this is not hollywood, It Isa Pundit said this is not hollywood, it is a Premier League game. But danny lewis writing in the mirror says why not, he is a legend for chelsea, he has put his body on the line. Sunderland agreed to it, conte and moyes agreed to it, so why shouldnt he have his moment in the spotlight . I am of the same opinion as dan. It leaves a bad taste in the mouth that one person can become bigger than the game. It isJust A Little Bit of manipulation. It also feels like he has written his own leaving speech. You dont do that, do you . Are you a duster . I am not a great duster, no. You have duster i great duster, no. You have duster s . Yellow dust is to homes more harm than good dusters. They dont tidy any dust up at all, they just move it around the house. They are the only duster that dust actually sticks to. Or does it . You know the smell of polish . It reminds me of my grandmothers house. Shaking my faith in the yellow duster. I like the fact that you are unmoved by that story. With just over two weeks to go until the General Election, steph is on the road again. She has taken the Breakfast Butty van to carlisle to speak to commuters about what is important to them. Good morning. Good morning everybody. We have lots of people here bright and early. We arejust outside, as you can see, Carlisle Railway station. A beautiful victorian building. You can see it is getting a bit of repair work done at the moment because it was hit ha rd by at the moment because it was hit hard by storm frank a couple of Yea Rs Hard By Storm Frank a couple of years ago. It is getting a fix at the moment but it is an important pa rt the moment but it is an important part of the infrastructure in the area. The transport of the region is really important to them to help them get to work across the country. We will be talking about that throughout the morning. We have the brea kfast throughout the morning. We have the Breakfast Butty van, because what better way to entice people to talk to us than offering a couple of the morning. We are looking at lots of different issues which the election effects, one of them is Household Debts offering a cuppa. We are talking about what the parties want to do in terms of ringing down Consumer Debt because there are masses of people struggling with Consumer Debt at the moment. When you are in debt, keeping your head above water can be really hard work. And if you look at our combined personal debt in the uk, we also make £1. 5 trillion. I mean, look at all those zeros. That is a lot of money. It is the equivalent of every 1 16 owing £28,000 each. Well, the bulk of that money is on mortgages, at £1. 3 trillion. Then, if you look at spending on credit cards, well, that is at about £68 billion. So what is left . Well, it is other things. It is overdrafts, it is personal loans, and a big growth area is car financing. That all growth area is car financing. That a ll totals growth area is car financing. That all totals £130 billion. Now, not included in this student loan debt, at about £86 billion, which has doubled in the last five years. So what do people actually think about debt . Well, we rounded up a couple of swimmers. We have tracey and mike here. Thank you very much. Is it something you use . Yes, i use credit cards for various transactions, but ipaid off cards for various transactions, but i paid off immediately, so there is a purpose for it. While i have a mortgage now, i remember back to my student days and being in quite a large amount of student debt, and thatis large amount of student debt, and that is an areal large amount of student debt, and that is an area i dont want to return back to. And debt is actually something that worries you, doesnt it . Yes, it definitely worries me, it . Yes, it definitely worries me, it can give me sleepless nights. You know, there are bills coming in glee. But i always try and look at the positives because there are people who are a lot worse off than what i am. Thank you very much, and next time you can have a swim when your arm is better, so look after yourself. So there is a lot of Debt Sloshing around out there but how do we can head to our neighbours . Well, have a look at this graph. It shows debt as a percentage of Disposable Income and you can see that the uk is quite high but not as high as the likes of australia, denmark and canada, all of which have pretty robust economies as well. So do we need to worry about being in debt . Hannah, you have got some thoughts on this, havent you . So debts held bya dirty on this, havent you . So debts held by a dirty word, but it doesnt have to be. As long as you can afford to repay what you borrow and as long as you are not using it to cover your day to day living expenses. In the big concern is that where wages are expected to go up and inflation is, that can put a squeeze on household incomes, and we will start struggle. And if rates do drop by 1 that would be an extra £71 a month on an £85 variable rate tracker mortgage. Research from experience says that 6 million households currently have no savings whatsoever, meaning no backup, which could leave people struggling things do get more costly. But debt can be good if you are repaying it sensibly. It can help you to buy things to make your life easier. For many people, managing debt is dependent on economic stability. And lets face it. Things might look calm at the moment, but there is an undercurrent of uncertainty. So while we are looking at the issue of debt, looking at how to bring down Consumer Debt and how much we owe at the moment, but back at the Railway Station we will be talking about transport. We will be looking at what the parties have been saying about what they want to do with the rails, the roads. We have some cyclists here who are keen to know whether there will be investment in that. And we have damned, the man in the fan, who is serving up the bacon and sausage. We have vegetarian options as well, i would like to add. That is how good your cookie is, someone else is doing it. Yes, because lets face it, i dont want to kill off half the nation while i am travelling around. I love that butty van. Even a vegetarian option. We have some flowers today. That is why we have a slightly damp so far. The Chelsea Flower Show starts tomorrow, and as you can see, we are getting in the mood here in the studio, too. Carol is in chelsea for us this morning, and she will be speaking to some of the green fingered experts hoping to win best in show. You need three, you need a killer, a thriller and a chiller. I am assuming this is the thriller. It is not that much of a thriller, is it . Carol will take us through some of the gardens. It will be a spectacular morning and some really nice weather on the way for many of us across nice weather on the way for many of us across the uk over the last few days. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning, im asad ahmad. A diamond ring bought for £10 at a car boot sale in west london is expected to fetch £350,000 when it is sold at auction. The owner of the 26 carat stone picked it up in the 1980s, thinking it was costume jewel, and has been wearing it nearly every day ever since. A jeweller then saw it and told the owner it could be valuable. It will be auctioned at sothebys injuly. In around half an hours time, traffic is to be banned from bankjunction in the city of london. Cyclists have been calling for the change, protesting in thejunction itself two years ago. 0nly buses and cyclists will be able to use it between 7 00am and 7 00pm, after dozens of accidents were recorded over a four year period. It is hoped the temporary measure will also improve air quality. In the forthcoming General Election, Political Parties have made much of focusing on the number of female candidates in constituencies. But the number of ethnic minority candidates being fielded is a very different story. Bbc london has found that some areas in london have no Bme Candidate to choose from, despite having populations with over 50 bme residents. It has caused frustration at the discrepancy, as having so many white candidates isnt representative of london. U nless unless you have representative democracy, in which people feel included, that people have a stake, and you have if you like and outside club. So it matters to us, but it should matter to the whole of the capital. Lets have a look at the Travel Situation now. Good service. 0n the roads, there is traffic on the North Circular southbound, towards brent cross at colders green road, because of a broken down lorry. Staying in the city, as london wall is closed eastbound from moorgate, because of roadworks. Finally to west london, and in chelsea, there are temporary Traffic Lights on fulham road, near chelsea and westminster hospital. Lets have a check on the weather now, with kate. Good morning. We had a mild night last night, so lovely, warm start this morning and a bright one as well. Plenty of sunshine throughout the day, and we are going to feel the day, and we are going to feel the benefit of that sunshine. It is going to feel really rather warm as we had through the afternoon. Now, the wind is nice and light today. They may get a little bit of cloud around here and there but in the most pa rt around here and there but in the most part plenty of sunshine. And temperatures upto 24, 20 five celsius by the end of the afternoon. A pleasant evening in the sunshine, and an overnight it stays clear. The us still quite warm overnight, the wind very light. Minimum temperatures between 12 and 15 celsius. So another mild one. A bright start as we head into tuesday. Sunshine around at first, but gradually we will see a little bit more Cloud Feeding in from the west. We a re bit more Cloud Feeding in from the west. We are still going to get some sunny spells, some fear whether cloud here and there. The temperature because of that cloud, though, Just A Little Bit cooler at around 22 or 23 celsius. So is ahead further through the week, High Pressure starts to take over. It dominates.

New University Students will be freed from paying 9,000 pounds in tuition fees as early as this autumn if labour wins the General Election. The party says the fees will be completely abolished from 2018 onwards, but those starting courses in september will have the costs for their first year written off retrospectively. Angela rayner is the shadow Education Secretary, and shes with us now. Thank you for coming on. What has changed . I often talk about how fantastic labour was for education. This, i believe, is the regressive stat. The Coalition Government tripled tuition fees when they promised students they wouldnt and now students are leaving university at record levels. I think its the wrong priority. Ithink at record levels. I think its the wrong priority. I think we should be investing in young people. We have talked about the top 5 stake paying more tax and we think that theres a better way of getting the money back. People who Go To University, get the skills, doctors, nurses, scientists, we need them and we should invest in them. How are you actually go to pay for University Education . The money raised is an awful lot of cash will stop wheeler 9. 5 billion we believe it will cost us. We believe it will cost us and im. 5 billion. 9. 5. 1. 7 billion will be a maintenance costs. It helps students Go To University. We have not shied away from cost in our manifesto. We have said that big corporations will pay a little bit more. At the name and, this government has cut Corporation Tax to its low level at the t20. We have said that the top 596 the t20. We have said that the top 5 of earners will pay a little bit more as well. We think that is the right way to go so that britain can be Going Forward and our economy is booming post brexit. Be Going Forward and our economy is booming post brexit. You mentioned this morning, getting people from disadvantaged backgrounds to Go To University. There is a report from a few years ago and this is a quote. In 2015, Application Rates from under a tenure was living in disadvantaged areas in all parts of the uk increased to the highest levels ever recorded. Poor stu d e nts levels ever recorded. Poor students are more likely to Go To University and inequality gap is the smallest its ever been. How will your changes actually make a difference when actually, despite tuition fees, the system seems to be working . What has happened as well is that since 2010, stewart and in State Education has dropped to nearly 10 . Children in State Education. Students are having to pay the most in terms of these so they are leaving university saddled with £44,000 of debt. Its at string ofa with £44,000 of debt. Its at string of a call. 7096 of those debts are never repaid. That shows you have died system is how bad. Its astronomical. If you have £44,000 of debt hanging over you, if you are a young person, that is a lot for a young person, that is a lot for a young person, that is a lot for a young person to saddle on the burden of their shoulders. We are saying that getting the top 5 of earners to pages to little bit more in tax than actually that. Us from putting a young person through the hell of having that amount of debt. What is wrong with the principle of paying for further education which you can choose to have not have and then paying that back later in life when you can afford it . The Transom Nation of the National Education service, i think that Will Transform Britains economy. Transformation. We have problems with people with isolation, feeling lonely. It can go on to the further education sector. This Will Transform Britain and help our economy as well. Many businesses say that young people who dont have the skills they want them to have in their industries so therefore, this will help get our british workers with the skills that they require in the future. Can i ask you one question about your party leader Jeremy Corbyn. The issue is not going away. The issue about the ira. He was asked again yesterday on numerous occasions and didnt give an answer. The thinking was asked about five times. When he was pressed about his past campaigning activities, how much of the concern is that, that that is an issue that will keep coming back . Eb doesnt add to the question. will keep coming back . Eb doesnt add to the question. I think the conservatives know at the moment they are on the rack because they are trying to bring the dementia tax that will hurt all the people that Jeremy Corbyn on the interview you we re Jeremy Corbyn on the interview you were talking about, did condemned the bombing in the ira. He was clear about that. We are quite clear about that. Lever has an absolute record that. Lever has an absolute record that under tony blair, we brought about the peace in Northern Ireland. Labour. That is difficult, especially with the brexit negotiations and the question about the hard border. It is more destabilising than something that was apparently said not set by Jeremy Corbyn a few years ago. He has been clear, though, he condemned the bombing by the ira in Northern Ireland. He was to continue see Peace Process flourish and we dont wa nt to Peace Process flourish and we dont want to go back to the hard border with Northern Ireland. We want to seek the negotiations working for Northern Ireland. You are watching breakfast from bbc news. Carol is down at the Chelsea Flower Show for us this morning, getting a sneak peek at the dazzling blooms on display ahead of the opening of the event tomorrow. Carol, good morning. Good morning all. It is lovely here at the Chelsea Flower Show this morning. It is not too cold either. Iam hoping morning. It is not too cold either. I am hoping to speak to the designer of this particular garden, the silk road garden, by the time we get to the end of this broadcast. Starting with the weather, the weather at the Chelsea Flower Show for the next few daysis Chelsea Flower Show for the next few days is dry. There will be variable amounts of cloud, temperatures into the low 20s and light reasons. If you are coming down in the next few days it should be pretty nice. The most of us today it is going to be mostly dry, and it is also going to be warm. I say mostly dry because there is some rain in the forecast. If we start in scotland at 9am this morning we can see Rain In The West but for the rest of scotland it is largely dry with variable amounts of cloud, and by 9am, temperatures between 12 and 13. North east england more cloud but nonetheless a pleasa nt start england more cloud but nonetheless a Pleasant Start to the day. It is medium or high cloud, so it will be bright under blue skies, with Eastern England seeing sunshine. The east anglia, down into the south east, are very similar story. There is some blue sky around this morning but there is also some high cloud and that extends all the way along southern counties into the south western also into wales, so a dry start. But for Northern Ireland you have some rain coming your way this morning and it is going to move from west to east, clearing away and thenit from west to east, clearing away and then it will brighten up in the afternoon. So through the course of the day the rain in Northern Ireland does just that. It is from west to east, moving across Western Scotland, heading North Eastwards. Some of it will be heavy, especially Late Afternoon in in the north east when it could be thundery with gusty winds. The bulk of the uk will be sunny and warm. Buyers temperature in the south east, 25, possibly 26, cooler in the rain. This evening and overnight you will find a lot of dry weather around, including a way to the north east. Low cloud coming in, some hill fog, some drizzle from the south western and Western Parts of the uk and locally in parts of Scotla Nd The Uk and locally in parts of scotland it will be cold enough for a touch of grass frost. But that will be the exception rather than the rule. So tomorrow we start off with a fair bit of cloud in the west and also in the south west. Some drizzle coming out of that. Later in the day we have some rain coming across Western Scotland. Away from those areas we are looking at a lot of dry weather, again with some sunshine. Not quite as warm as today, we are looking at highs of 23. As we head on into wednesday, again, a lot of dry weather around. Still a bit of cloud coming in from the west, still a fair bit of sunshine, with highs of the 25. The other thing that you will find is, as we head towards the end of the week it is going to get warmer, locally hot, particularly friday into saturday. Some of us could have high 20s, or even the low 30s. I am glad to say i promised you the designer of this particular garden. He is right there with me. Welcome. Tell us a bit about the garden. This isa tell us a bit about the garden. This is a chengdu silk road garden. We have done a change on that, the red stuff is the mountains in the background and the light stuff is the silk road, that is the epitome of the whole thing. That was short and sweet, a very busy man. Thank you very much forjoining us this morning. It is a very busy time. And thejudges will be morning. It is a very busy time. And the judges will be coming around, Thatis The Judges will be coming around, that is why they get a bit tense. You can understand the nerves. Should there be more investment in our travis birt network . Steph has been meeting commuters of all different types. Transport network. I am just in different types. Transport network. I amjust in front different types. Transport network. I am just in front of the carlisle citadel, really beautiful here this morning. You can see were just at the and we have wrought the brea kfast just at the and we have wrought the Breakfast Butty van, because as you say, we are talking about transport. It isa say, we are talking about transport. It is a struggle to get to and from work for many people and the average commuter s 57 minutes, so it certainly ta kes commuter s 57 minutes, so it certainly takes people a long time to get to and from work. Lots of people would like to see more investment in the railways on the roads and we have some cyclists here as well. Lets have a chat to them. Tell us a bit about you, you travel to and from work quite often on your bike. What is it like . Sometimes it can be ok, but the roads in the carlisle, there is quite a few potholes and things like that, and just the awareness of drivers coming out, it can be busy at that time of the morning. So it isjust about that awareness. I think you have just got a message saying i am seeing you on telly. What would you like to see that can make your life easier, and encourage you to vote for a particular party . Certainly more awareness of cyclists on the roads. Cyclists have to follow the highway code the same as anybody else, and there is a misconception that we dont. It certainly raising awareness for that kind of thing. As awareness for that kind of thing. As a road conditions, without a shadow of the doubt. There has been a lot of the doubt. There has been a lot of improvements lately on cycle lanes and things like that there is still a long way to go, there are still a long way to go, there are still a long way to go, there are still a lot of work can be done and we we re still a lot of work can be done and we were talking before saying every timea we were talking before saying every time a road is built it as an opportunity to put cyclists in there as well and build those cycle lanes. A lot of young people, a lot of young kids coming through. It is an ever increasing sport, so it is about looking after their welfare and making sure the roads are as safe as they can possibly be for them. Thank you very much, enjoy your pastries. Lets have a chat with the rest of the commuters we have here as well. John, you are someone have here as well. John, you are someone who totally relies on public transport, undue . Yes, i havent had a carfor eight transport, undue . Yes, i havent had a car for eight or transport, undue . Yes, i havent had a carfor eight or nine transport, undue . Yes, i havent had a car for eight or nine years so i used pushbikes, iwalk a car for eight or nine years so i used pushbikes, i walk to use the buses and trains. And what is the priority for you, which would get your vote . I think if they spend more money on the railways, and certainly in Northern England we need new trains. We only seem to get trains and other areas dont want them, went lanes get electrified, then we will get trains after that. We need new trains and more services. And what difference would that make to you . It would mean i would be able to get around and not wait to carlisle hours for the next train. Sometimes on the carlisle line there are gaps between the trains, three hours. If we had a trains, three hours. If we had a train every two hours or every hour it would be great. If there was a train on the hour, you would know when to turn up. That is all staff that would make a big difference to you, but it could be expensive. What would you give up in terms of Government Spending to pay for that . May be a bit less money spent on roads. Simply spending it on the railways. Spend more on roads and less on railways, interesting. And lianas from the campaign for better transport. What is the biggest concern for voters, in terms of transport, at the moment . Lianna. Public transport, both bus fares and train fares, have gone up and up and up. In some cases people are paying £4000 of £5,000 for a Season Ticket without really seen the rise in Co Mforta Ble without really seen the rise in comfortable satisfaction. In the second thing is local transport spending. So we see lots of big money spent on big trunk roads, but on local roads, one in six roads is in really dire state of repair is, potholes, there is a £12 billion backlog in local roads spending and local buses have been really badly cut, with 2400 bus routes, mostly rural, withdrawn or cut over the last few years. And that is leaving people totally isolated, cut off from schools, from jobs and from shops. And this is all expensive stuff to change. We are talking billions of pounds to do this, so what should we sacrifice in order to pay for it . We cant afford it all. I would agree withjohn. I dont think transport has to be expensive. We have a £15 billion road Investment Fund which is mainly going to the big strategic road network, and if wejust going to the big strategic road network, and if we just took a fraction of that and put it in Local Bus Funding, that would pay to reverse all the cuts that have happened to Local Bus Funding since 2010. In the very much for your time, and thank you everybody else, as well. And cute dam, the man in the van. I love saying that. We have richard, and we will be talking to richard, and we will be talking to richard letter on as well. One of the local commuters as well. More from you but later on. Thank you very much indeed. Obviously some coloured election sauces, as well. Was that an idea by you . It might have been. In bristol last week people were very concerned about the purple sauce. Who has purple sauce on anything . Still to come on breakfast it was the documentary about crossrail that became an unexpected hit. We will meet the team behind the £15 billion railway, as it returns for a second series. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning, im asad ahmad. Within the next few minutes time, traffic is to be banned from bankjunction in the city of london. Cyclists have been calling for the change, even holding protests in the junction itself. 0nly buses and cyclists will be able to use it between 7 00am and 7 00pm, after dozens of accidents were recorded over a four year period. It is hoped the temporary measure will also improve air quality. In the forthcoming General Election, Political Parties have made much of focusing on the number of female candidates standing in constituencies. But the number of ethnic minority candidates being fielded is a very different story. Bbc london has found nearly half of londons constituencys having no ethnic minority candidates for the main Political Parties, that some areas in london have no Bme Candidate to choose from, despite having populations with over 50 bme residents. It has caused frustration at the discrepancy, for not representing london. Unless you have representative democracy, in which people feel included, that people have a stake, then you have if you like, an outside club. So it matters to us, but it should matter to the whole of the capital. A diamond ring bought for £10 at a car boot sale in west london is expected to fetch £350,000 when it is sold at auction. The owner of the 26 carat stone picked it up in the 1980s, thinking it was costume jewel, and has been wearing it nearly every day ever since. A jeweller than saw it and told the owner it could be valuable. It will be auctioned at sothebys injuly. Lets have a look at the Travel Situation now. Good service. 0n the roads, there is traffic on the North Circular southbound, towards brent cross at colders green road, because of a broken down lorry. In the city, london wall is closed eastbound from moorgate, because of roadworks. Finally to west london, and in chelsea, there are temporary Traffic Lights on fulham road near chelsea and westminster hospital. Lets have a check on the weather now, with kate. Good morning. We had a mild night last night, so a lovely, warm start this morning, and a bright one, too. Plenty of sunshine throughout the day, and we are going to feel the benefit of that sunshine. It is going to feel really rather warm as we head through the afternoon. Now, the wind is nice and light today. They may get a little bit of cloud around here and there, but in the most part, plenty of sunshine, and temperatures up at 24, 25 celsius by the end of the afternoon. Pleasant evening in the sunshine, and then overnight it stays clear. The air still quite warm overnight, the wind very light. Minimum temperature between 12 and 15 celsius, so another mild one. A bright start as we head into tuesday. Sunshine around at first, but gradually we will see a little bit more Cloud Feeding in from the west. Were still going to get some sunny spells, some Fairweather Cloud here and there. The temperature, because of that cloud, though, Just A Little Bit cooler, at around 22 or 23 celsius. So as we head further through the week, High Pressure starts to take over. It dominates. Were looking at lots of dry weather, plenty of sunshine, and getting really quite warm by the end of the week. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin.

Some ran around today, particularly in the north and the west but thats a richer is set to rule rise and by the end of the week some parts of the uk will have temperature into the high 20s or low 30s. Details in 15 minutes. Good morning. First, our main story. Labour is making a fresh appeal to young voters by bringing forward its promise of abolishing tuition fees, to include students starting university this autumn. The party says it would write off the first year of tuition fees for english students starting university in england this september, if it wins next months General Election. University tuition fees are due to rise to £9,250 a year in the autumn, and will begin to go up every year in line with inflation. Labour says legislation will be in place to abolish the charges for students starting university in 2018 but it has now revealed it will immediately write off the first year for those starting this autumn. Students part way through their course would not have to pay for the remaining years. The party says the £9. 5 billion annual cost of abolishing tuition fees would be paid for by increasing income tax for people earning over £80,000 and reversing cuts to Corporation Tax. The conservatives and the Liberal Democrats have both said they would keep the fees at their current level. Lets speak to our Political Correspondent chris mason, whos in westminster this morning, is this the battle for Younger Voters . I would be disappointed if you do not have with you some sort of paper with you. Do not worry. You will not be disappointed. I will tantalise for a second before the manifesto appears. As you say, there are in an things going on today which i think may just be connected. Things going on today which i think mayjust be connected. Tonight is the deadline for registering to vote. And younger people, on average, a disproportionately useless at registering to vote. About one third of people under 34 are yet to register. So labour are talking about a palace ci Here Today Laserguided towards young people. Here is the big reveal. This is the ma nifesto, here is the big reveal. This is the manifesto, published last week. Page 43 discussing higher education. Labour belief that education should be free and people should not be left with debt, they argue. The make the point that University Tuition is free in many Northern European countries and will be free under a Labour Government as well. What we know now is that there will not be any bills for students studying in English Universities if they are english, this autumn and if they are midway through a course they will not be paying for it afterwards. In other words, the policy will kick in straightaway. The shadow Education Secretary was up early this morning, she has been on the sofa at brea kfast, she has been on the sofa at breakfast, she said it is about avoiding young people being saddled with mountains of debt. People have to spend many years without Debt Hanging Overtheir head. To spend many years without debt hanging over their head. If you are trained to start a family will get on in life and have a job and you have a £44,000 debt hanging over you, that is gutwrenching. If you are a young person with that amount of debt, that is a lot, a burden on their shoulders. We say that by getting the top 5 of earners to pay a little bit more in tax than actually what they will do will prevent people from having to go through the hell of having that amount of debt. And the burden on my shoulders is taking these things around my backpack to the next few weeks. The average student and now graduate from university with debts of £44,000 according to this ma nifesto. Of £44,000 according to this manifesto. The conservatives say there are more students from disadvantaged backgrounds at university now than ever before. We are not disappointed. Thank you very much. Scottish Party Leaders have clashed in a heated tv debate, over the question of independence. Snp leader Nicola Sturgeon accused tory counterpart Ruth Davidson of talking so much about independence that i cant get a word in edgeways about it. But ms davidson hit back by telling ms sturgeon the country said no and you wont listen to them. 0ur scotland correspondent, lorna gordon, has all the details. Six Party Leaders and a debate dominated by clashes on issues including brexit, immigration and taxation. But with the question of a second independence referendum dominating political discourse in scotland, some of the fiercest exchanges were over which party has being driving the constitutional debate in the general Election Campaign so far. You know, she says i talk about nothing else. The truth is, she talks so much about independence that i cant get a word in edgeways to talk about it. Theres a really simple way, if people want me to stop fighting independence, theres a really simple way to make that happen, nicola. Wheres the nhs . Take your second referendum of the table the Labour Party Manifesto that were publishing in scotland tomorrow is also very clearly against independence and a referendum, because of the £15 billion worth of additional cuts that would come with that. For the snp, its always, always about independence. Today, brexit is the excuse, every other day it could be any excuse at all. For the greens and ukip, this debate was a chance to put their case to the wider public. All six leaders responded to questions from the audience. The snp record after ten years in government in holyrood, under scrutiny in areas such as health and education, conservatives policies at westminster in the spotlight too. Lorna gordon, bbc news, edinburgh. Conservative plans to change the way elderly people in england pay for care would lead to a postcode lottery, according to a former lib dem pensions minister. The changes would see councils in england recoup care costs from the sale of peoples homes after they die. But research by steve webb, who now works for the pensions firm, royal london, found some local councils have yet to set up a scheme to reclaim the money. The conservatives insist the changes would ensure fairness across the generations. President trump will arrive in israel this morning, on the second leg of his first overseas tour. Hes due to meet both israeli and palestinian leaders with peace talks dominating the agenda. The president has called an Israeli PalestinianPeace Agreement the ultimate deal, but so far has been vague about what form it should take. Simon clemison reports. After what some called an islamaphobic start on the campaign trail, donald trump has met arab and gulf leaders and spoken of working together with muslim nations to defeat religious extremism. This is not a battle between different faiths, different sects or different civilisations. This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life and decent people. Drive them out of your communities. Drive them out of your holy land and drive them out of this earth. The president has been well received in saudi arabia. Not least because of his tough approach on iran. Now the Business Mogul wants what he calls the ultimate deal. This morning, he is heading for tel aviv to begin his bid to find peace between israel and the palestinians. He will meet israels Prime Minister today and the palestinian president tomorrow, having met both already in washington. There is some doubt about whether his unconventional, businesslike approach can can achieve a peace deal where so many others have failed but there is optimism. Reports in the israeli press, quoting white house sources, say President Trump will focus first on trying to build confidence between the two sides so direct talks can resume. 9,000 people who lost money on shares in Royal Bank Of Scotland begin a High Court Action today, demanding compensation from the bank and four former directors, including fred goodwin.

A bit of washing up with a £350,000 diamond on your fingerlj a bit of washing up with a £350,000 diamond on your finger. I love that story. That is ten minutes past seven. Carol will have the weather for us shortly. The clock is ticking for us shortly. The clock is ticking for the estimated 7 Million People who are eligible to vote in the General Election but are yet to register. If you wanted to vote, the deadline of midnight tonight. There is still time. 0ver deadline of midnight tonight. There is still time. Over 2 Million People have registered since theresa may called a Snap A Letter last month but how many of us cast a ballot and what of the issues that could swing the outcome . We have been out and about, we took the drone out for some fun to have a look at the numbers. Forget strictly, forget eurovision. The biggest vote of the year is fast approaching onjune eight. Lets start by talking numbers. Across the uk, 650 constituencies, over 3000 candidates are expected to stand in this election. Do we choose is obviously going to have the gap act on our the next five years. Thats as long as no one calls another election. We obviously have theresa may and the conservatives and labour led by Jeremy Corbyn both desperate for our vote. But its notjust about the and the blue. Liberal democrats, snp, the greens, ukip and the welsh party and all the others right across the uk. There are roughly 54 million of us in the country who are legally entitled to vote but for a bit of fun and mathematical simplicity, we represent that number with this. How number 100. Looking at the last General Election that would mean 15 of our 100 never registered to vote at all. 29 registered to vote at all. 29 registered but did not vote and only 56 actually put a piece of paper in a box on may seven 2015. This is where those 56 live. England may have the biggest population but youre most to turn out and vote if youre most to turn out and vote if you live in scotland and least likely in Northern Ireland. Who exactly d id likely in Northern Ireland. Who exactly did we vote for them last time . Let us break down our imaginary100. 21 time . Let us break down our imaginary 100. 21 voted conservative. 17 labour and as you can see, were not dismissing the rest but they all recorded single figures. I know we have all been at the ballot box quite a bit recently, including the big one, the Eu Referendum, which more people turned out to vote for in the last General Election. But how decisive a factor will brexit be this time around . Well, according to a recent poll, 4296 well, according to a recent poll, 42 of us said our relationship with the eu would be important when it came to deciding which box to tick. But issues closer to home could also help us make up our mind. No one unsurprisingly, 31 of us say the nhs isa unsurprisingly, 31 of us say the nhs is a priority. Just over one fifth would refer to education. And ona number of fifth would refer to education. And on a number of other key issues as well including managing the economy, immigration, and a quality and the old east, tax. Beast. Those are the numbers that comes down to one vote. Yours, onjune eight. That takes you through the numbers. It is thought that around 30 of those yet to register a aged under 34. We arejoined by we are joined by the founder of the website voting counts. You are clearly engaged and you would like other people to be engaged. Clearly engaged and you would like other people to be engagedm clearly engaged and you would like other people to be engaged. It is really important to me because i am seeing that the turnout of my age group is only 43 , compared to over 60 fights, which is 78 . I am seeing politicians make policy for the older generations but not for my generation and i think if we want to see policy made for my generation, we have two show them that our votes can be won, theyjust have to make the right policies. Have you seen a change from the election two years ago to the current one . People are seeing the effects of voting, they are seeing trump, they are seeing trudeau, they are seeing macron, they are seeing brexit, and they wa nt to they are seeing brexit, and they want to get involved in that. We know that today, for example, is the deadline. Is it that they are not registered, many of the people youre talking to . 0r registered, many of the people youre talking to . Or they may be registered and then not the . youre talking to . Or they may be registered and then not the . I think sometimes they are registered but dont bother because they live in safe seat. You should vote even if you live in a safe seat. A lot of them feel uninformed about what the parties believe in. What do you say to people who live in a safe seat so say they dont need to turn up. Voting in a safe seat is important, because funding for parties as dependent on how many votes they get, rather than how many constituencies they went. It also means you are not giving up. If you simply give up, then change wont happen. It is also really important to up the demographics. Because even if your candidate doesnt win, you are still up if your candidate doesnt win, you are stillup in if your candidate doesnt win, you are still up in the demographic turnout. Lotsa people say they are all the same, whoever i vote for, it doesnt really a difference. all the same, whoever i vote for, it doesnt really a difference. I think if you look at this election, i think there is a big difference in the parties. It is important to look at your local candidates, because a lot of people vote on who the cabinet, and it is important to look at who your local candidate is, that they might have a completely different view of the world than the major parties you should look at who the candidates are, who is going to represent your areas interests. The Social Media Campaigns make a difference . Snapchat and instagram and lots of photos and social media as well, talking about the importance of voting, but they have any sort of impact, do you think . think it does remind people there is an election happening. Sometimes with the Council Elections people forget they are happening and dont get involved. With the General Election there are so much press about it, especially on social media, people are pushed to get involved. Thank you very much, you are involved. Thank you very much, you a re clearly involved. Thank you very much, you are clearly very engaged. It is midnight tonight, the deadline, so people still have time to register, as well. And they definitely should. Evenif as well. And they definitely should. Even if they dont think they are going to vote, they still have a couple of weeks to decide. Carol is down at preview day for the Chelsea Flower Show for us this morning, getting a sneak peek at the dazzling offerings on display this year. Morning. You have to be very posh, and carol fits the box good morning, i have found a hidden garden. Come with me and takea found a hidden garden. Come with me and take a look inside. Look at this little haven of tranquillity. This is linklaters garden, from maggies. It is the first hidden garden at the Chelsea Flower Show, and it is a unique Secret Garden designed to show the therapeutic efforts that a garden can offer People Living with cancer. There are roses, tree peonies, for example, and if you come to look at it, you cant come in like we have, but you can walk along the top and get a mighty fine view of what is inside. In the Water Feature next to me is lovely and gentle, and tranquil. I must say, it is lovely and warm here in chelsea this morning, as it is across many parts of the uk and if you are coming down to the Chelsea Flower Show for the next few days, in fact, for much of this week, it is going to be dry and it is going to be sunny to be dry and it is going to be sunny or to be dry and it is going to be sunny or bright and warm. For most of us today that is the forecast. Mostly dry and also warm. I say mostly dry because there is rain in the forecast as well. Rain coming in across Western Parts of scotland this morning. We are looking at nine a. M. The rest of scotland largely dry and bright and sunny skies. North east england seeing a wee bit of cloud but it is medium or high level cloud so it will be bright rather than wall to wall blue skies but Eastern England seeing a bit of that sunshine. As he comes out into the midlands, east anglia, essex, kent, east anglia, the isle of wight, once again were back to the sunny skies. It is beautiful here in london this morning and as we drift towards the south west, again very similar story. The temperatures picking up quite quickly in the morning sunshine. For wales we are looking at a fine start to the day. Again we have some medium and high level cloud, bright with some sunny spells. For Northern Ireland you have some rain and that will move from west to east through the course of the morning, clearing, and then behind that we will see a return to brighter skies by the afternoon. Go through the day that rain across Northern Ireland and Western Scotla nd Northern Ireland and Western Scotland moves North Eastwards. Now, some of the Late Afternoon and early evening will be happy. Across the north east of scotland, thunder, hailand north east of scotland, thunder, hail and gusty winds. Moving away from that we are back into the sunshine and hires getting up to 25 or 26 celsius. Through the evening and overnight we lose the rain from the north east. There will be a lot of clear skies put through the night more low cloud and hill fog and coastal murk is going to come in across South East England and Western Parts of the uk more generally. It will be cold enough locally and parts of scotland for a touch of grass frost but no such issues anywhere else. Tomorrow we start off with all that low cloud, hill fog and coastal murk in the west and the south west, but it wont penetrate too far inland and for most of us tomorrow is going to be another fine and dry day, with some rain coming in across Western Scotla nd some rain coming in across Western Scotland later on in the day. Not quite as warm as today, our maximum temperatures will be around 23 mark. And then as we head on into wednesday, wednesday, another fine and dry day with sunny spells. A little bit of cloud at times in the west. Some hill fog at times in the west. Some hill fog at times in the west as well, and temperatures again in mid 20s. But if you like the weather hotter than that, as we head towards the latter part of the week we start to lose all the murk in the west and the hill fog, as High Pressure establishes itself across us. It also means it is going to warm up. Saturday and friday we could have local maximum temperatures around about the late 20s or early 30s. Not all of us will see the low 30s, but many of us will see the low 30s, but many of us will see the low 30s, but many of us will see the high 20s. Thank you very much, lovely to see the Chelsea Flower Show this morning, on preview day. The greens will hold theresa mays feet to the fire if the conservatives win the upcoming General Election. That is one of the pledges from the party, which launches its manifesto today. The greens are also promising a referendum on the terms of a brexit deal. Lets speak to the partys co leader, jonathan bartley, who is in westminster this morning. Thank you forjoining us. Lets talk about that wrecks at deal. We are talking about another vote, what kind of form you are imagining that would take . We believe it is the commonsense thing to do to have a ratification referendum. When we see the terms of the final deal, it is only right that people get to scrutinise that deal, have a look at it. The government has already conceded the point that parliament gets a vote on it. If you are going to trust 650 mps in the house of commons, why not trust the british people . The original referendum should have been the start of a process involving us all in a conversation about the kind of future we want our country, for our children, the kind of reason we want to be, and the best way to do that is to have that public conversation, have that discussion, and have that vote, and it may be that we turn around and 1. 5 years and say hang on, this is not what i voted for, this is not the kind of vision i had for the future when i voted remained or leave, and lets have a conversation about that and put it to the british people. So you would have another referendum, would be a simple yes or no to the deal, or for example the uk public said no, do you change parts of the deal are just scrap the deal . I think there must be the option to remain in the European Union. We dont know what the next 1. 5 years looks like. It is very worrying to see the way the negotiations have gone so far, or at least the intent that theresa may has gone into negotiations with. She has gone into negotiations with. She has made a mistake over gibraltar, a mistake over threatening to use our Intelligence Services as a bargaining chip, at the place of eu nationals in this country, we want to secure their future, and if at the end of it we find out it is not what people wanted, and people in my family voted leave with the best intentions, as did people have voted remained, and lets see what the deal looks like and give people the option to stay in the European Union if it was what they voted for. Lets talk about other things you are talking about. You are talking about a shorter working week. What do you mean . Four day working week . You know what . People throughout history have told us that we cant do the bold ideas, we cant change the way we work, we cant ask a simple questions about who the economy is for. So 100 years ago it was a six day working week and never unsaid it was crazy to train dropper toa unsaid it was crazy to train dropper to a five day working week. We are ina to a five day working week. We are in a place where we are generating more wealth than we ever have before, we have had more technological advance that we have ever had before but people still having to work in increasingly insecure employment. We are saying there is enough money around and the dharna to allow corporations to suck all this money out in terms of excess profits. We can have a situation that society spends more time with our friends and family. No one on their deathbed is says they wish they spent more time in the workplace. They say they wish they had done more to enjoy life. Lots of people are struggling to make ends meet. Are you saying there should be paid the same amount of money, and how would that were . Absolutely they should be paid the same amount of money. When i was a kid we were told there would be all this technological advance, we would get toa technological advance, we would get to a situation where we could spend more time with our friends and family, and we have had that technological advance but what we have seen instead of that benefit being passed around the web right is a big corporations that made those excess profits have taken away that money and we are seeing growing inequality. What we need is the political will to get that money back. If you look since 2010 we have seen back. If you look since 2010 we have seen huge cuts in Corporation Tax, thatis seen huge cuts in Corporation Tax, that is the tax on the profits of corporations, it has gone down from 20 to 19 . The government want to ta ke 20 to 19 . The government want to take down to 17 . Every reverse those cuts, that is an extra £20 billion we can have the economy. We can raise living wage to £10 an hour by 2020. That will give us savings in terms of Working Families tax credits. When we have the absurd situation where we are subsidising low pay, it doesnt have to be that way. So we can imagine a different country. It is about asking those questions about who the economy is really for. Thank you. Steph is on the road again. This morning, she has taken the Breakfast Butty van to carlisle. Steph, whats cooking . Really busy here at carlisle. A bit of sunshine, the lovely ladies are at sunbathing. So we are talking about transport. It is an important use for a a lot of us, and we are just outside the Railway Station, talking about the road network, cycling, and also the rail network. And we have richard, a local rail user. And richard, for you, you have certain priorities that you think the government should be making in terms of the rail that work. Well, we could do with more trains and better of them. If we had more trains and better ones, more carriages, we could do a lot for tourism in carlisle. That is important, and we could really do a lot for them. That is an expensive business, the rail network. It is, but it is an investment to get a return. It is not subsidy, it is investment to get a return. That is what you want to do. Is there anything you would sacrifice to see more money put into rail . My winter fuel payment, maybe. Thank you very much, enjoyed the pastries. There will be more from us talked about how much we use the transport system. The average commute, 57 minutes it takes to get to work in the morning, which is quite a number. Anyway, lets get the news, travel and weather where you are this morning. Good morning, im asad ahmad. Within the last half hour, traffic has been banned from bankjunction in the city of london. Cyclists have been calling for the change, even holding protests in the junction itself. 0nly buses and cyclists will be able to use it between 7 00am and 7 00pm, after dozens of accidents and a fatality were recorded over a four year period. Its hoped the temporary measure will also improve air quality. In the forthcoming General Election, Political Parties have made much of focusing on the number of female candidates standing. But bbc london has found that in nearly half of londons constituencies there isnt a single ethnic minority candidate standing for the main Political Parties. That is despite some areas having populations with over 50 bme residents. It has caused frustration at the discrepancy for not representing london. Unless you have a representative democracy, in which people feel included, that people have a stake, then you have a if you like, an outside club. So it matters to us, but it should matter to the whole of the capital. A diamond ring bought for £10 at a car boot sale in west london is expected to fetch £350,000 when it is sold at auction. The owner of the 26 carat stone picked it up in the 1980s, thinking it was costume jewel, and has been wearing it nearly every day ever since. A jeweller than saw it and told the owner it could be valuable. It will be auctioned at sothebys injuly. Lets have a look at the Travel Situation now. Good service. 0n the roads, there is traffic on the North Circular southbound, towards brent cross at colders green road, because of a broken down lorry. In the city, london wall is down to one lane eastbound from moorgate, and that is because of roadworks. Finally, i is the Chelsea Flower Show, and there are temporary Traffic Lights on fulham road near chelsea and westminster hospital. Lets have a check on the weather now, with kate. Good morning. We had a mild night last night, so a lovely, warm start this morning, and a bright one, too. Plenty of sunshine throughout today, and were going to feel the benefit of that sunshine. It is going to feel really rather warm as we head through the afternoon. Now, the wind is nice and light today. They may get a little bit of cloud around here and there, but in the most part, plenty of sunshine, and temperatures up at 24, 25 celsius by the end of the afternoon. Pleasant evening in the sunshine, and then overnight it stays clear. The air still quite warm overnight, the wind very light. Minimum temperature between 12 and 15 celsius, so another mild one. A bright start as we head into tuesday. Sunshine around at first, but gradually well see a little bit more Cloud Feeding in from the west. Were still going to get some sunny spells, some Fairweather Cloud here and there. The temperature, because of that cloud, though, Just A Little Bit cooler, at around 22 or 23 celsius. So as we head further through the week, High Pressure starts to take over. It dominates. Were looking at lots of dry weather, plenty of sunshine, and getting really quite warm by the end of the week. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. Monday morning, good morning to you all. Labour is promising that english students who Start University courses in england this autumn wont have to pay tuition fees if the party wins the election. Labour has already pledged to abolish fees from 2018, but says it wants to discourage those sitting their exams now from deferring for a year. The conservatives say more students than ever from disadvantaged backgrounds are getting into university. Conservative plans to change the way elderly people in england pay for care would lead to a postcode lottery, according to a former lib dem pensions minister. The changes would see councils in england recoup care costs from the sale of peoples homes after they die. But research by steve webb, who now works for the pensions firm, royal london, found some local councils have yet to set up a scheme to reclaim the money. The conservatives insist the changes would ensure fairness across the generations. President trump will arrive in israel today, on the second leg of his first overseas tour. Hes due to meet both israeli and palestinian leaders with peace talks dominating the agenda. The president has called an Israeli PalestinianPeace Agreement the ultimate deal, but so far has been vague about the form it should take. 9,000 people who lost money on shares in Royal Bank Of Scotland begin a High Court Action today demanding compensation from the bank and four former directors, including fred goodwin. The claimants say they were misled by the bank when it sought to raise £12 billion from shareholders in april 2008, a few months before it had to be rescued by taxpayers because it was running out of money. The bank has said it will defend itself vigorously in court. A cheaper pound has led to a surge in american tourists visiting the uk. The Travel Website expedia says its seen an 80 jump in summer bookings to the uk from across the atlantic between january and march, compared with the same period last year. American visitors are taking advantage of the 13 fall in the value of sterling compared with the dollar since the Eu Referendum injune last year. Coming up on the Programme Looks like we could be in for a few nice sunny days. Carol has mentioned 25, tickling towards the 30s. We will be live with her in about ten minutes time but lets show you what it looks like outside our studio. Another lovely morning. That is the Imperial War Museum north which we assure you. It is a 7 33 pm. 7 33 a. M. We have the spore report now. We dont have enough time to squeeze everything in. Harry kane has won a golden boot. 29 goals although he needs to go for 30 next season. Before we know it, the next season will be upon us in august but were mulling over this dramatic end to the season yesterday. Arsenal have missed out on Champions League football for the first time in twenty years. They won their final Premier League match against everton, but both liverpool and Manchester City won their games to secure a place in europes elite competition next season. Alex gulrajanai reports. Champions League Nights are on their way back to anfield. After two years away, liverpool will be amongst europes elite once again. We fought for each yard the whole season, and were really happy about this. I thought thats a sign we should have given to all our supporters around the world. What a wonderful day for all of us. There was a brief moment in the day, though, where things werent going their way. Arsenal quickly went 2 up against everton. They were up to fourth. Suddenly, liverpool were down to fifth. They needed a win. A goal on merseyside would change everything. Commentator that has changed things massively Jurgen Klopps side went on to beat already relegated middlesbrough 3 0. Fourth spot was theirs. Third belonged to Manchester City, a 5 0 win over watford sealed Champions League football for next season. Something that arsenal will be without for the first time in 20 years. A 3 1win over everton not enough. And questions still linger over manager Arsene Wengers future. One thing you cannot question is my love for this club because i said no to every single club in the world. To get to the end of a project, to build a stadium and to be loyal to this club. They could still win the fa club next week but will that make up for whats going to be missing next season . Now lots of discussion about this, this morning john terry and chelsea orchestrated an emotional farewell at stamford his last game for the club was stopped in the 26th minute his shirt number and he was given a guard of honour as he was substituted. Everything stopped and off he came on the 26th minute. It took in two minutes to get off the pitch. Im sure they did not anticipate it wasnt quite so much discussion but that element of it being slightly contrived. As a spectator, or you feel almost a little manipulated. Sunderland agreed to it. Why is it coming off in the 26th minute . Surely he wants to play for as long as possible. But he is one of the greatest offenders in the history of the league. It was a chance for us fans to say a big and proper goodbyes. Joyce says he has been a goodbyes. Joyce says he has been a good player and well paid for doing it. The fa should look into it and find them both for fixing the first 26 minutes of the game. Paul says he is not a chelsea fan. Both teams only agreed to do it because their League Standings could not have changed. I can see it from both sides but. I like to watch sport not knowing what will happen. The fa ct not knowing what will happen. The fact that it was planned. He had a moment after the game. An emotional address that he gave to the crowd. In my view, that was enough. You do not need any more. Let us know what you think. Many into arresting views coming in. Are many interesting views coming in. Celtic are the first side in more than a century to go an entire season without losing a game in the scottish top flight. They secured the title some seven weeks ago and they signed off with a 2 0 win over hearts, before getting their hands on the premiership trophy. Celtic are still in line to win the triple, with the scottish cup final this weekend, but they can already call themselves the new invincibles celtics women didnt fare so well, as hibernian ladies won the scottish wpl league cup for the second year running. Rachel small scored the last of their goals, in a 4 1win. Reynaldo sent real madrid through. If they defeatjuventus in the Champions League final they can com plete Champions League final they can complete a double this week. There has been a huge blow to the british and irish lines. Dashmac lions as they prepare to head out on their tour or new zealand. Billy vunipola will not be able to go needs more treatment on a shoulder injury. Wasps and england back row James Haskell willjoin the squad, after wasps take on exeter in the premiership final next saturday. World number two Novak Djokovic has confirmed hell be coached by andre agassi at the french open, after losing to Alexander Zverev in the italian 0pen final. The german won in straight sets in rome and at the age of twenty, he becomes the youngest player to win a Masters Title since djokovic himself won the miami 0pen. Ten years ago. Afterwards djokovic explained why hes joined forces with agassi. Andre is someone i have tremendous respect for as a person and as a player, he has been through everything i am going through. You know, on the court, he understands the game amazingly well. I am enjoying every conversation that i have with him. He is a person that can contribute to my life on and off the court a lot so im very excited to see what is ahead of us. Weve been trying to squeeze in all the football stories, but we definitely have time for this one. Stoke striker peter crouch agreed a deal on social media with a fan and he upheld his end of the bargain. Tyrone sidley asked for crouchs shirt, if he turned up to their final game of the season wearing nothing but skimpy Swimming Trunks and a snorkel which he did and crouch handed it over. A hard one shirt, really. You would do that in the last game of the season. You would not want to do that in mid december. Season. You would not want to do that in mid december. Thank you very much. Now, what did you have for breakfast this morning . Yoghurt, porridge, hazelnuts, you are jealous, arent you . Do you say fa ncy jealous, arent you . Do you say fancy a bacon sandwich . Good luck, we have stepped out in carlisle with the van. Infrastructure and transport. Good morning to you all. We have made it to carlisle. We have been travelling all over the country joining people on the morning routine. These two here are off to school. They are about to catch the train from here to penrith. And we are talking about transport it is important, particular to parts of the country like this, rule areas, so we the country like this, rule areas, so we have some local community we can have a quick chat to. Helen, you first of all. You are a keen cyclist. And you cycle off to work every morning on your right . Yes. A bit of cycling for finance for commuting. What is it like being a cyclist . You have the facilities, is a need investment . There are many opportunities for improving facilities. Things like cycle lanes, driver awareness, getting safety right. It is so important. Is that something you want to hear about from the politicians . Transport in general, of course, because getting about four work is important my day to day life. About four work is important my daytoday life. We have jennifer here from a haulage firm. And for you it is about the road network . Here from a haulage firm. And for you it is about the road network7m is. Our vehicles around seven days a week, day and night and we suffer from congestion on the road and in our last mile, making the deliveries and collections from vans very potholes and damage to roads and our drivers have a difficultjob going around all these areas. Our potholes really that much of a problem for you . Yes. It causes damage to vehicles and having to manoeuvre around them. It adds time to the journey . It does. In congestion on the motorways is a big issue. Travelling to the midlands every night we have to take account of that. So for you it is a priority to make the road Network Better . What would you. That would cost money, what would you see less money spent on in order to give you that . dont know. We certainly want to keep having the foreign drivers coming into the country. The Industry Needs them. The industry as a whole, i think, employs about 60,000. But there has been a 45,000 shortage of lorry drivers in the country for the last ten years. The growth has had to come from foreign workers. A skills shortage. We talk about the lot. Liang here. Thoughts there in terms of a road network for business and cyclist. What is the commuters want to hear . Affordability. For bus users and rail users ourfares affordability. For bus users and rail users our fares have gone up and up and up and we need the next government to continue a cap on fa res government to continue a cap on fares and to make sure that for young people and part time workers, flexible workers, that it is affordable to choose the train or the bus rather than driving. 0bviously the bus rather than driving. Obviously we are talking about transport and it is notjust that which plays the part of infrastructure. It is also about Digital Infrastructure in the area. This is something of concern to peter, a local business person. And for you it is about four g and broadband . Broadband is inconsistent as is fourg. Broadband . Broadband is inconsistent as is four g. More and more now everybody expects us to do things online. Banking, accountancy, ordering, all online. And it is impossible to get a three g signal passed the Council Boundaries and sometimes we are on standard internet. Investment and improvement in that would be helpful. That is important, obviously, Digital Infrastructure. As a local business person, what else do you want to hear from the politicians person, what else do you want to hearfrom the politicians in person, what else do you want to hear from the politicians in the run up to the election . Hear from the politicians in the runup to the election . A reduction in red tape and a level Playing Field in terms of opportunities to get support to grow the business. Do you think we spent too much money on what . What are we spend less on . We need to be more focused on how we will support the economy and revive the economy as opposed to continually looking at spending more money, we have defined some ways to generate more. Thank you very much for your time. And thank you for providing us with pastries. We did not make them. Peter, kindly, donated to the causes morning. As i sit outside carlisle nation it is very beautiful here. A 160 year old yalding with scaffolding because it was damaged by a storm a few years ago but this route is being repaired. To the tune of £14 million to get that sorted. An awful lot of money spent on it but it is a key pa rt money spent on it but it is a key part of the city here. I will have more later on. We were talking about crossrail later which is costing £15 billion. More on that little bit later. And caroljoins us now live from preview day at the Chelsea Flower Show. The Chelsea Flower Show opens to the public tomorrow, showcasing the skills of the worlds best gardeners. It is the industrys showpiece event of the year, but research by the organisers found that only a quarter of us would describe ourselves as confident gardeners, as we have been finding out. Iam i am really into gardening, so i designed my own gardens, and build them. So i have done about four or five now. I know nothing, i am terrible. Brilliant. Absolutely. My wife is laughing, because i dont get in the garden. Not very confident. Just looking to see what items they have on display, see what they are and see what information i canfind. They are and see what information i can find. I dont know the names, i dont know the names. No. Sorry. Yes, it is a russell lupin, a blue one. I can just yes, it is a russell lupin, a blue one. I canjust say it is yes, it is a russell lupin, a blue one. I can just say it is a nice purple flower. No. To be honest, no. Autumn time, would it be . Probably november december, ready for march. November december, ready for march. No idea, a genuinely dont know. People admitting they are probably not the best gardeners. We will have clues later how to make these window vases. You need a thriller, a spiller, and a filler. Apparently it is august. August . That proves im wrong. I dont really know what im talking about, but thankfully someone talking about, but thankfully someone does. Carol has the weather from the beautiful Chelsea Flower Show. Good morning to you both, good morning to you as well. Currently i am in the royal bank of canada garden, and good morning, charlotte. Nice to see you. It is an amazing garden. Tel is a bit about it. Well the garden was designed for the royal bank of canada, and they are wanting to celebrate 150 years of the confederation of canada, sol wa nt the confederation of canada, sol want to do something quite celebratory about the canadian wilderness, sol celebratory about the canadian wilderness, so i have used lots of native plants and trees from that place or similar things. The materials are granite and copper, which are all found in that zone. So when you get the call from the Chelsea Flower Show saying cha rlottes, we Chelsea Flower Show saying charlottes, we want you to have a garden next year. What do you think . Well, it was pretty exciting. I spent some time desk researching it and then after that i had an amazing trip out to the boreal, and you have to take a plane and be dropped into the wilderness and i explored by plane and on foot, really living in the wilderness for two weeks, and exploring the flora and fauna that, which was fantastic. After that comes to Serious Business of sorting plants, working out materials and getting on site in may. Plants, working out materials and getting onsite in may. And how long does it take to put a garden like this together . We had 14 days. It looks like it has been here forever, it looks so well established. What happens to it next . Luna well, it was really important to us that it went somewhere, and it is going to create a permanent exhibit of this particular landscape. So you are literally going to take it apart bit by bit and build it as it is . Thats right, all of it will be reused. You we re right, all of it will be reused. You were just yesterday. Any ideas how you are getting on . I was very nervous, i stepped far away from the garden when it happened, just crossing my fingers. I had a brilliant team, everyone has worked very ha rd brilliant team, everyone has worked very hard and we are proud of the garden. It has been a pleasure, thank you very much indeed. This morning it is a lovely start to the day in chelsea. We are looking at sunshine from the word go, with a little bit of cloud around. And for the next few days it is exactly the same. If youre coming to the Chelsea Flower Show for tuesday or wednesday, it is looking very pleasant, hires up to 2223 with light reasons. For most it will stay dry and warm. I say most because there is some rain on the cards across Western Parts of scotland, you can see it at nine a. M. Moving away from that, across the rest of scotla nd away from that, across the rest of scotland is variable amounts of cloud, bright spells and some sunshine. The north east seeing some cloud and sunshine, and as we come out again there is some medium and high level cloud, meaning it is bright at times rather than sunny. But it is not cold. That extends into east anglia and the south east. This morning we had some blue skies and now we have some more cloud in london. Drifting to the midlands towards devon and cornwall, the isle of wight, the isles of scilly, a bright start, variable amounts of cloud with some sunny spells and as we skip across the Bristol Channel into wales, again we are looking at that scenario. Some high cloud, some medium level cloud, some bright and there will be some sunshine. Northern ireland has the rain crossing from west to east, and that will live the way through the course of the day and by the afternoon we are looking at sunshine. The rain will be crossing scotland, moving North Eastwards. By the afternoon some of that will be heavy and thundery with gusty winds. Southern scotla nd thundery with gusty winds. Southern scotland joining the rest of wales, Northern Ireland, with some sunshine and hires up to 25 of the six celsius in the south east. Through the evening and overnight that rain moves away from the north east. We will start to see more cloud and hill fog and murky coastal asians coming in from the south west of wales and other western coastal areas. Inland across scotland it could well be cold and offer a touch of grass frost, but that will be the exception rather than the rule. So tomorrow we start off with low cloud, murky conditions, hill fog and wales, parts of western coastal areas in the uk. It doesnt penetrate too far inland and for many of us it will be another dry day with a fair bit of sunshine. It will be arriving across Western Scotla nd will be arriving across Western Scotland later in the day. Temperatures not quite as high as today. We are looking at the top of 23. As we head into wednesday, once againa similar 23. As we head into wednesday, once again a similar scenario. High pressure hankered across us means the area is dragging on a bit more cloud to the west once again, to the atlantic, and we are looking at hires into the mid 20s. If you like it a bit warmer or hotter than that, by the end of the week, friday or saturday, most of us will be in a very or saturday, most of us will be in a very warm or or saturday, most of us will be in a very warm or hot category, with some of the seeing temperatures into the low 30s. That is more likely to be in the south east that we reach those very high values. Thank you so much. We see that 25, and we will be back a bit later to have a bit of a look around. We get the first preview, it is lovely. We will talk about these pictures behind us in a moment. I was saying earlier about daffodils. And what would you like to say . I said august. And i said autumn, slightly less confidently, but who was right . I think you might have been right, but it says plant them by the end of september, which could be august. If we asked you to picture marilyn monroe, you would probably envisage her wearing that fluttering white dress. Mention 1966 to any football fan, and bobby moore clutching the world cup trophy will likely come to mind. These images behind us arejust a few of the famous shots from the getty images archive. Now, for the first time, all 80 million photographs are being stored in one location. Breakfasts Graham Satchell has been given exclusive access. They are some of the most remarkable, memorable and culturally significant photographs ever taken, and they all belong to the picture agency getty. This is their new home. It is now the largest commercial archive of physical photos anywhere in the world. So matt, how many pictures have you got here . There is about 80 million images on site. Here .

There are pictures here going back to the birth of photography in the 1830s. So historical to us means anything before 1920. Historical to us means anything before 1920.

It is a picture of a monster, and it is perhaps the most famous example of fake news. The loch ness monster. So this here is what is in the daily mail 21 April 1930 four. Why i think it has become iconic is because it then inform the people as to what the loch ness monster should look like. So when they came here looking for nessie, this is what they were looking for. This set the image for ever. Yes. Today, the nessie image rings in around £30 million a year to the local tourist economy, but the photo that started it all was a fa ke the photo that started it all was a fake vomit it was taken using a toy submarine bought from woolworths. Fake vomit it was taken using a toy submarine bought from woolworthsm isa submarine bought from woolworthsm is a hoax because he was trying to actually show a picture what the loch ness monster look like, or what people thought it looked like, but the reason for that is because that is actually what it does look like backin is actually what it does look like back in the bowels of the getty archive, experts are repairing and restoring images, like this 1957 shot of lauren bacall. 0ver restoring images, like this 1957 shot of lauren bacall.

Within the last half hour, traffic has been banned from bankjunction in the city of london. Cyclists have been calling for the change, even holding protests in the junction itself. 0nly buses and cyclists will be able to use it between 7 00am and 7 00pm, after dozens of accidents and a fatality were recorded over a four year period. It is hoped the temporary measure will also improve air quality. In the forthcoming General Election, Political Parties have made much of focusing on the number of female candidates standing. But bbc london has found that in nearly half of londons constituencys there isnt a single ethnic minority candidate standing for the main Political Parties. That is despite some areas having populations with over 50 bme residents. It has caused frustration at the discrepancy for not representing london. Unless you have a representative democracy, in which people feel included, that people have a stake, then you have a if you like, an outside class. So it matters to us, but it should matter to the whole of the capital. A diamond ring bought for £10 at a car boot sale in west london is expected to fetch £350,000 when it is sold at auction. The owner of the 26 carat stone picked it up in the 1980s, thinking it was costume jewel, and has been wearing it nearly every day ever since. A jeweller than saw it and told the owner it could be valuable. It will be auctioned at sothebys injuly. Lets have a look at the Travel Situation now. Good service, but there is a warning you to avoid changing lines at kings cross because of escalator works, which have started today.

We had a mild night last night, so a lovely, warm start this morning, and a bright one, too. Plenty of sunshine throughout today, and were going to feel the benefit of that sunshine. It is going to feel really rather warm as we head through the afternoon. Now, the wind is nice and light today. They may get a little bit of cloud around here and there, but in the most part, plenty of sunshine, and temperatures up at 24, 25 celsius by the end of the afternoon. Pleasant evening in the sunshine, and then overnight it stays clear. The air still quite warm overnight, the wind very light. Minimum temperature between 12 and 15 celsius, so another mild one. A bright start as we head into tuesday. Sunshine around at first, but gradually well see a little bit more Cloud Feeding in from the west. Were still going to get some sunny spells, some Fairweather Cloud here and there. The temperature, because of that cloud, though, Just A Little Bit cooler, at around 22 or 23 celsius. So as we head further through the week, High Pressure starts to take over. It dominates. Were looking at lots of dry weather, plenty of sunshine, and getting really quite warm by the end of the week.

For some, it will be bright, but for most, it is going to be warm and its going to get warmer as we go through this week, culminating in temperatures locally as high as the low 30s by friday or saturday. But ill have more details in 15 minutes. Ive got you booked in for 8. 15am. Thank you very much. Good morning. First, our main story. Labour is making a fresh appeal to young voters by bringing forward its promise of abolishing tuition fees. The party says it would write off the first year of tuition fees for english students starting university in england this september if they win next months General Election. University tuition fees are due to rise to £9,250 a year in the autumn and will begin to go up every year in line with inflation. Labour says legislation will be in place to abolish the charges for students starting university in 2018, but it has now revealed it will immediately write off the first year for those starting this year. Students part way through their course would not have to pay for the remainder. The party says the £9. 5 billion annual cost of abolishing tuition fees would be paid for by increasing income tax for people earning over £80,000 and reversing cuts to Corporation Tax. The conservatives and the Liberal Democrats have both said they would keep the fees at their current level. Lets speak to our Political Correspondent chris mason, whos in westminster this morning, is this the battle for Younger Voters . Two things in the diary today and labour have decided they are going tojoin the two labour have decided they are going to join the two things together. The deadline for registering to vote is midnight tonight. You look a the statistics and younger people are useless when it comes to filling in the form online and getting themselves on the electoral register let alone turning up at the polling station. A third of under 34s are not registered. Labour used this deadline today to try and effectively zing up a policy they announced last week on the day that this deadline kicks in for younger people. So we take a look at their ma nifesto. People. So we take a look at their manifesto. These things trundling around in my rucksack, quite a few of them, more to be published this week. Page 43 of labours manifesto, labour saying they believe education should be free. We knew that last week in bradford when this document was published. What weve learnt todayis was published. What weve learnt today is this idea of ensuring that people wont have to pay from this september. Here is ang glel la reigner on the breakfast sofa earlier saying too many students are saddled with astronomic debts. That just shows you how bad the system is, but those young people have to spend many years with the Debt Hanging Overtheir spend many years with the debt hanging over their heads and if youre trying to start a family and get on in life and you have got £44,000 debt hanging around you, thats gut wrenching. Thats a lot for a young person to saddle the burden on their shoulders. Were saying by getting the top 5 of earners to pay a little bit more in tax that will stop us from putting our young people through the hell of having that amount of debt. Labour are saying that tuition fees are amongst the highest in the world for going to university. They say they wa nt to going to university. They say they want to get rid of them and get rid of them quickly. It does come with a big bill. The conservatives making the argument that there are more stu d e nts the argument that there are more students from disadvantaged families going to university now than has been the case before. Chris mason, thank you. Scottish Party Leaders have clashed in a heated tv debate, over the question of independence. Snp leader Nicola Sturgeon accused tory counterpart Ruth Davidson of talking so much about independence that i cant get a word in edgeways about it. But ms davidson hit back by telling ms sturgeon, the country said no and you wont listen to them. 0ur scotland correspondent, lorna gordon, has all the details. Six Party Leaders and a debate dominated by clashes on issues including brexit, immigration and taxation. But with the question of a second independence referendum dominating political discourse in scotland, some of the fiercest exchanges were over which party has being driving the constitutional debate in the general Election Campaign so far. You know, she says i talk about nothing else. The truth is, she talks so much about independence that i cant get a word in edgeways to talk about it. Theres a really simple way, if people want me to stop fighting independence, theres a really simple way to make that happen, nicola. Wheres the nhs . Take your second referendum of the table todayis today is brexit is the excuse. Every other day it could be any excuse at all. For the greens and ukip this debate was a chance to put their case to the wider public. All six leaders responded to questions from the audience. The snp record after ten yea rs the audience. The snp record after ten years in government at holyrood under scrutiny in areas such as health and education. Conservative policies at westminster in the spotlight too. President trump will arrive in israel this morning on the second leg of his first overseas tour. Hes due to meet both israeli and palestinian leaders with peace talks dominating the agenda. The president has called an Israeli PalestinianPeace Agreement the ultimate deal. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knell is at Ben Gurion Airport in tel aviv where air force one is due to land later this morning. How realistic do you think it is that the peace talks may resume . Well, certainly on both sides they are speaking very positively in public about this visit. But in private yes, there is a lot of mistrust between the israelis and palestinians and Big Questions over whether mr trump, who is promising to bring his more business like approach po to what he has called the ultimate deal, trying to bring peace to the israelis and palestinians in this decade old conflict whether you can bring something thats fresh and new to the table. Certainly there is a lot of doubt about whether he can succeed where so many others have fail. You can see the american and israeli flags fluttering in the breeze. The red carpet has been laid out. There will be a full state ceremony for the arrival of the president who is on the way here. He is making something of a historic first flying directly from saudi arabia to israel. Two countries that have no diplomatic relations. So he will be hoping that this is a sign that he can continue to make historic developments while hes here. On paper though, historic developments while hes here. On paperthough, his historic developments while hes here. On paper though, his routine, his itinerary looks routine for an american president. He will have meetings with israeli and palestinian leaders visit the main holly sites for muslims and for christians in the old city of jerusalem. Thank you very much. Some breaking news. A suspected bomb has exploded in a military training hospital in thailand. 24 people are said to have been injured in the blast which happened in the capital bangkok. It comes on the third anniversary of a military coup in the country. 9,000 people who lost money on shares in Royal Bank Of Scotland begin a High Court Action today demanding compensation from the bank and four former directors including fred goodwin. The claimants say they were misled by the bank when it sought to raise £12 billion from shareholders in april 2008, a few months before it had to be rescued by taxpayers because it was running out of money. The bank has said it will defend itself vigorously in court. A cheaper pound has led to a surge in american tourists visiting the uk. The Travel Website expedia says it has seen an 80 jump in summer bookings to the uk from across the Atlantic Betweenjanuary and march, compared with the same period last year. American visitors are taking advantage of the 13 fall in the value of sterling compared with the dollar since the Eu Referendum injune last year. Its 8. 10am. Carol is live from the Chelsea Flower Show. The clocks ticking for the estimated seven Million People who are eligible to vote in the General Election, but are yet to register. If you want to vote on 8thjune, the deadline isjust before midnight tonight. More than two million have registered since theresa may called the snap election last month. But how many of us will actually cast our ballot . And what are the issues that could swing the outcome . Ive been breaking down the numbers outside our studio here at salford quays. Forget strictly. Forget eurovision. The biggest vote of the year is fast approaching on 8th june. Lets start by talking numbers. Across the uk, 650 constituencies, over 3,000 candidates are expected to stand in this election. Who we choose is obviously going to have a big impact on our lives for the next five years. Thats as long as no one calls another election. We obviously have theresa may and the conservatives and labour led byJeremy Corbyn, both desperate for our vote. But its notjust about the red and the blue. Liberal democrats, snp, the greens, ukip, plaid cymru and all the others right across the uk. There are roughly 54 million of us in the country who are legally entitled to vote, but for a bit of fun and mathematical simplicity, we are representing that number with this, our number100. Looking at the last General Election that would mean 15 of our 100 never registered to vote at all. 29 registered but did not vote and just 56 actually put a piece of paper in a box on 7th may 2015. This is where those 56 live. England may have the biggest population but youre most to turn out and vote if you lived in scotland and least likely in Northern Ireland. Who exactly did we vote for then last time out . Let us break down our imaginary 100. 21 voted conservative. 17 labour and as you can see, were not dismissing the rest, but they all recorded single figures. I know weve all been at the ballot box quite a bit recently, including the big one, the Eu Referendum, which more people turned out to vote for in the last General Election. But how decisive a factor will brexit be this time around . Well, according to a recent poll, 42 of us said our relationship with the eu would be important when it came to deciding which box to tick. But issues closer to home could also help us make up our mind. Now not unsurprisingly, 31 of us say the nhs is a priority. Just over a fifth would refer to education. There are a number of key issues as well including managing the economy, immigration, and a quality immigration, and a equality and the old beast, tax. Those are the numbers but it comes down to one vote. Yours, on 8th june. With just over two weeks to go until the vote, what have we learned during the Election Campaign so far . Lets speak to kevin maguire, associate editor of the mirror and andrew pierce, consultant editor of the daily mail. Good morning both. Good morning. I imagine youve registered some years ago, but i might be biassed. Some people called this the wobbly weekend. There are polls showing that labour is doing better. Andrew, what is your reaction to that . There has been a wobble. There are some tories who wont mind this because they were worried with leads of 18, 20, 22 they were worried with leads of 18, 20,22 points, they were worried with leads of 18, 20, 22 points, people were thinking its in the bag and it was enabling labour to say if you vote for theresa may you will have another thatcher style landslide. But it will stop the tories being complacent. Does that work in their favour, do you think, kevin . No, he always said big poll leads were good. It was the complacency with arrogance with theresa may because the polls show labour has got the more popular policies, but she is ahead of Jeremy Corbyn more popular policies, but she is ahead ofJeremy Corbyn in the ratings. So she goes around running this president ial campaign and invents this policy which will take away the winter fuel allowance from people who did the right thing, save for a small occupational pension they will lose £300 and at one time they will lose £300 and at one time the maximum you could lose, if you paid for social care was £72,000, now the maximum you can keep will be £100,000. People will have to pay for the first time for care in their homes and they could lose their homes. Imposing what he called a death tax when labour came up with charges like that. It is a wobbly weekend and she doesnt know how to get out of it. Lead briefly to social care. Given what has been written about social care, will be looking that and be disappointed tonight i think we will hear the word consultation and they will probably say they were always going to consult on it. It is worth mentioning that nobody will have to sell their homes to pay for that care. That will be done after they have died. At the moment you have to start paying over £23,000, and that will help a lot of poorer families, but still the policy is causing jitters among tory candidates. He is standing on his head again. When labour proposed it, he would have caused a death tax. The tories came out with a tombstone poster when this was proposed. One can argue that mrs may is embracing the Biggest Issue facing the country, the time bomb that is ticking. We have an ageing population and labour are coming up with nothing as per usual. The Biggest Issue is low wages. Lets talk about labours policy today, tuition fees. This is a blatant populist thing. They are going for the young voters. That is right. A populist policy canjust be popular and it can also be right. It is very expensive, about £11 billion, and it is true that most of that would go to middle class families rather than working class families rather than working class families although a number of working class kids in university, that number has increased. But some are put off by the threat of huge debt and his lot abolished the last maintenance grants for the poorest kids. But the labour pitch is universal services, Free Education and health care, looking after you socially. Universal services, with those that are in the most paying more tax. The idea is that the middle class pay more. People are stupid. We see the wish list from labour getting longer and longer and they know that somebody is going to have to pay for them. At the moment it is the richest 5 , but doctors and headteachers, they will put more and headteachers, they will put more and more pressure on them. And a lot of middle class kids will not have to pay for University Education. Why shouldnt they . If tuition and university can be free in scotland, why should we charge england, wales and Northern Ireland . Very briefly, thank you for letting me get a word in edgeways. Briefly, when we first started this was said to be the brexit election but it has turned out to be a lot more than that. Brexit election but it has turned out to be a lot more than thatm has. Issues like social care, the link standards, the credibility of Jeremy Corbyn is clearly an issue. Whether theresa may is in touch. In some ways brexit is the dog that hasnt barked. Ukip voters are going back to the conservatives, but for instance the Liberal Democrats hope to take off but it has not happened. 0n brexit i would say it is still a huge issue because when you look at the polling, although the tory lead has dipped, mrs mades lead over Jeremy Corbyn is still absolutely huge and that is because a lot of people know she is a Prime Minister and Jeremy Corbyn is hopeless. They wa nt to and Jeremy Corbyn is hopeless. They want to look after the brexit negotiations, notJeremy Corbyn. Want to look after the brexit negotiations, not Jeremy Corbyn. will leave it there. Thank both. That was feisty. Carol is at the Chelsea Flower Show for us this week and she has found a vine. Look at that. And what a handsome vine it is. Good morning, germany. It is so nice to bump into you here because we have this radio 2 thing going on and there is a lot of people. Suddenly came out of the crowd. Thank you. That radio 2 thing, it is five gardens. Tell me about this, my five . It is the five senses, touch, taste, sight, smell and sound. Anneka rices garden behind us, it is very colourful. This is the site garden. Mine is texture, just a few garden. Mine is texture, just a few garden stone. It is all about what you can feel, so we have some clout pines, which you can shove your hand into. It is lovely. We are really feeling great about this whole thing. And this is the first time radio 2 has ever displayed gardens . We have got our 50th anniversary soon we have got our 50th anniversary soon and i think that probably at some point in the past there has been a garden involved. But i cant remember doing anything gardening related on radio 2 before and i have been with the designer, he has put in the plans as i have requested, and he has done a very good job, i must say. So lets get down to the nitty gritty, youre dancing skills are renowned, and your gardening skills clearly are, too. How much input did you have . Not a whole lot but i planted one, i think it was possibly a californian poppy, i planted it and dug it, with a spade, and then i used to think older rake to rake it already was impressed. Did you have any input on the design . A little bit, as i said it is texture and we need to be able to feel stuff. The nice thing is that the path tapers. This is the chemical stuff, the path goes like that so it looks longer than it is. The other presenters are furious because they think our garden is bigger. And we havent told them. So we are feeling, it is a bit embarrassing for anneka rice and jo wiley, were feeling like we have won it already. Well, i hope you do. And good luck. I know youre busy. Everybody wants a piece ofjeremy this morning. Anneka rice is sitting in the corner there. Good morning anneka and looks fabulous. The weather is not too bad. It is a bit cloudy but it is very pleasant, and mild across many areas. If you are coming down to the Chelsea Flower Show over the next couple of days, it is going to stay dry with highs of 22 celsius. The forecast for all of 22 celsius. The forecast for all of us is mostly dry and warm. I say that because there is some rain in the forecast. We have rain coming in across Northern Ireland. But at nine oclock, it is dry, with some sunshine. North west england seeing some breaks in the sunshine. Across the midlands and east anglia, down towards the isle of wight, again a lot of dry weather but there is some medium to high level cloud, meaning that it medium to high level cloud, meaning thatitis medium to high level cloud, meaning that it is not necessarily blue skies youre looking at but it is not cold. Across towards the isles of scilly, devon and cornwall, and also wales as well, dry start. Again, a bright start. But for Northern Ireland you have rain in the rain is going to be crossing Northern Ireland, west east as we go through the course of the day. As it does it will brighten up later in the afternoon. The rain will continue across scotland, moving North Eastwards from the west. Some of that will be heavier thundery. Southern scotland should stay dry, and were looking at a dry day with some sunny and were looking at a dry day with some sunny spells and highs of up to 25 or26, some sunny spells and highs of up to 25 or 26, cooler in the rain. Receiving the rain will clear away from the north east and will be a lot of dry weather around. By the end of the night we will have more cloud coming up from the south west into wales and the coastal counties, and hill fog and seeking work as well. It could be cold enough for grass frost in parts of scotland. Hill fog and sea murk. So tomorrow we start off with hill fog and murky conditions in wales and Western Areas but it will not penetrate far inland. For most of us, a dry day with sunny spells. Not as warm as today with highs of 23. Later on we will see rain coming in across west of scotland. That will lead us on into wednesday. Wednesday again, High Pressure right across us. It is going to be settled with cloud at times in the west. Temperatures getting up into the mid 20s. But if you like your weather that that bit hotter, friday and saturday for some of us is going to be pretty warm. Temperatures into the high 20s and for some, most likely the south east, even the low 30s. For some, most likely the southeast, even the low 30s. So lots going on in the weather this week but mostly settled. Carroll, thank you very much indeed. So lovely to see those flowers. And lovely to see jeremy bowen. Stephs on the road again. This morning shes taken the Breakfast Butty van to carlisle. Shes not cooking, but when i am in charge of the van, we will have. Have you got fruit as well . We have got it all going on. We have Healthy Options as well. As you can see, just outside carlisle, the Railway Station, a gorgeous day. A lot of commuters getting the train to penrith. An important part of the city. You might have seen scaffolding up there because it is currently being repaired because it was damaged by storm frank. Lots of money being spent on trying to make it better. Were here to talk about transport and i have all of these local commuters here. Good morning, everyone. They are having a right laugh this morning, and were going to talk to pauline. I would not be surprised to hear that you are bothered about what the roads are like. Thats right. Motorcycle ruins n more like. Thats right. Motorcycle ruins more cycle lanes, lanes that are not shared with pedestrians and lamp posts. Some people do not cycle because they are taking a life in their hands, sharing busy roads with no cycle lane at all. We need to encourage more people to cycle, it is better for you. So you want to see more investment in cycling . What would you sacrifice to put more money into that . That is the big problem that any government is going to have, what do we spend on what. It is difficult, but there is a local example where they are putting ina local example where they are putting in a Pedestrian Crossing that nobody wa nts. In a Pedestrian Crossing that nobody wants. That is money wasted when they could be putting it to better use. So you think there should be more local decisions . Definitely. And you have an 80 mile bike ride, havent you today, that is totally mad. I will let you get away. No pressure, but the whole nation is now going to watch you cycle of. Good luck. Look at, and absolute professional. Careful of that car that could have been the worst ever start to a bike ride. But she is all right. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. I think she is still fine. Hello there. Good morning technically may is a spring month, but i have to say this week its going to feel a little bit more like summer. Going to feel a little bit more like summer. The week started off promisingly for many of us. That was the scene from one of our weather watchers around sunrise this morning. It will be mainly dry. There will be good spells of sunshine and it is going to turn very sunshine and it is going to turn very warm sunshine and it is going to turn very warm indeed. Now, it isnt sunshine all the way on the satellite picture. You can see cloud piling in from the west. A lot of the cloud is thin and high and across england and wales it will not do much more than turn the sunshine hazy. The cloud will be thicker across Northern Ireland and scotland though and that cloud will bring some outbreaks of rain. Later this afternoon, some quite heavy bursts of rain developing across the northern half of scotland, perhaps with the odd rumble of thunder. Eastern scotland probably staying dry and Northern Ireland should brighten up by the afternoon. As we get down into england and wales, yes, there will be areas of high cloud particularly towards the north west and good spells of sunshine and temperatures could get up sunshine and temperatures could get up to 25 celsius or 26 celsius across the south east. For a time this evening, we will see very heavy rain across northern and North Eastern scotland. It wont last long though. It will clear away to leave a largely dry night with clear spells. A chilly night across scotland. We will start to see more cloud creeping in across the south west. That could make for a grey and murky day tomorrow for coasts and hills in the south west. 0therwise, coasts and hills in the south west. Otherwise, its largely dry.
