Pa rents interviewing the head of the Chibok Parents Association, who hasjust been released by the broker her islamist s. The boko haram is my list. In case you didnt see me play a little of what donald trump has been saying on us tv, let me play you some of that interview right now. Hes a showboat, a grandstand. The fbi has been in turmoil. You know that, i know that. You take a look at the fbi a year ago, it was in virtual turmoil, less than a year ago. It hasnt recovered from that. On monday year met with the Deputy Attorney general. Did you ask for a recommendation . What i did was, i was going to fire comey. You had already made the decision . was going to fire comey. You had already made the decision . I was going to fire comey. The Prime Minister and pulling no punches as to why comey was fired from the fbi. I have been speaking to a president of law at a big Us University and i asked her how she thought the president came to take the decision. I think he got sacked because he didnt have the confidence of anyone on any part of the political spectrum in any state. James comey alienated the republicans, that was when he failed to recommend that the investigation went forward past july, and then he alienating the democrats when he sort of regurgitated the E Mail Scandal right before the election in november. I think its fair to say that james comey got fired because he had lost the confidence of most americans. Why was it then that sean spicer said the president has confidence in the director . That was this month and there are multiple quotes from donald trump saying, i have confidence in him. What he does not telling us the truth or has he changed his mind . Ijust think theres a certain etiquette involved in this. Whenever the press asks a president if he had confidence in x, yorz, president if he had confidence in x, y or z, its appropriate for the president if they guess until such time as the president makes a determination otherwise. I think its pretty clear that President Trump, from the day of his inauguration, was concerned about Director Comey and was probably gearing up and laying the groundwork to fire him. Itjust took a little while to dot the i and cross the tees. Can you understand the many people who are saying this doesnt look good given that james people who are saying this doesnt look good given Thatjames Comey people who are saying this doesnt look good given that james comey was leading an investigation into the Trump Campaign . I can definitely understand that. I think its been a little bit overblown. Lets face it, there is some intense political opposition in the us to President Trump and literally everything he does, so even on trump and literally everything he does, so even on an trump and literally everything he does, so even on an issue like this where even the democrats had publicly criticised comey rather vociferously for some time, you find that they are certainly playing the pa rt that they are certainly playing the part as political card now and pretending like somehow this is nefarious. I would agree with you that if in fact anyone in the Investigation Community in the United States had gone on record and said there was evidence of collusion between someone in the Tramp Administration and russia, that the firing of comey would raise suspicions, even with someone like myself, but thats not the fact that we have. In fact, we dont have any fa ct we have. In fact, we dont have any fact that all that indicate such collusion exists and i think until such time as we do, maybe the Paranoia Levels need to be ratcheted down a notch. I guess thats for others to decide but certainly there was an ongoing investigation. Do you have any concerns that the fbi can conduct that investigation given the president just got rid of the man in charge of it . No, i dont, because thats not how these investigations work. Comey was not in charge of the investigation. Its a lot of people lower down the totem poll doing the grunt work day to day. Those people are still in place, what ever evidence they have is still in place andi evidence they have is still in place and i think its a new director came in and tried in any way to suppress existing evidence, that would be very bad. But again, we dont have that kind of evidence. I think we need to call out jets, that kind of evidence. I think we need to call outjets, respect that the president has the ability to fire people. The fbi director says that the leisure of the president. Even president obama apparently was seriously considering firing comey. Comey was just not doing a good job and when you dont do a good job as and when you dont do a good job as an employee, you might get fired. Saying there that people need to cool their jets. Saying there that people need to cool theirjets. Whenever saying there that people need to cool their jets. Whenever we check into washington, no sign of anyone cooling their jets. Into washington, no sign of anyone cooling theirjets. Lets check into sport now and Jose Mourinhos hunt for a major trophy for Manchester United, in the semifinals of the rape a leak. How was it going . I have got to screens in front of me of the europa league. How is it going . I have got to screens in front of me and it is important because if they win this, having never won it before, they get access to the Champions League next year. That would mean a big tick and Jose Mourinhos resume. The Big Haired Man is celebrating with everyone. There has been a lot of focus on paul pogbas Transfer Dealfrom of focus on paul pogbas Transfer Deal from juventus to man united. Whether the attention with affecting but it didnt. Hes been brilliant. Lets switch to attention on the other match. I axe are plainly on and they were 4 1 ahead from the first leg. Leon launched a fightback with two goals, so it is 2 1 to lyon at the moment but it is still 5 2 on aggregate to ajax. It looks like it will be Manchester United versus ajax in the final in stock . In stock column in sweden. Now, this is the thirds president. Fifa president Gianni Infantino was following Donald Trumps playbook when addressing a fifa congreess in bahrain. Mr infantino was upset at some of the recent coverage the Football Body has been receiving. Fake news, alternative facts. These terms did not exist until some time ago. They have the common folk. They have become en vogue. Fifa bashing has become a National Sport in some countries. And i understand also why, and it was right. And it was right. But, fifa has changed now. This is a new fifa. We are new people here. And we act with facts. He says its a new fifa and fifa has changed but fifa will be judged on its actions in the coming weeks, months and years. Over the last few weeks bbc has showcased some great womens Football Stories from around the world. Heres the final instalment from nigeria. Lagos is the best most populated city in the world and it has 21 million residents and the Mens National team, the super eagles, are flourishing with big name players playing week in, week out in the Premier League and the womens team just won the Africa Cup Of Nations last year in cameroon.

I am the coach and owner of the greens. I was sitting in my office in the school one day and some girls came to me and they said, we are sisters and we wa nt to and they said, we are sisters and we want to play for school. So i looked at them, i felt very sorry. Because i saw they had no place. They needed someone i saw they had no place. They needed someone to i saw they had no place. They needed someone to encourage i saw they had no place. They needed someone to encourage them because this is what they love to do, they have the passion for it. What my parents cant see, he is in the best position to see it and correct me, to help with my career. He is my coach and he is very, very important to me because he has always been there for me and i love him because he is my nigerian romeo. Here in this field is where the young girls come three days a week after school, some of them dont even have enough money to buyjerseys and boots, but all they know is that they come right here with one thing and that is their love to pursue football. That was a report from nigeria. I will have another very different report for you from nigeria and its on an interview with the father of one of the chibok girls who were recently released by boko haram. We will pele you that in full in a few minutes. Play you that in full. A Pioneering School for young people with disabilities is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The National Staff academy in cheltenham provides special accommodation and education, helping people to become as independent as possible. Things have changed a lot over the 50 yea rs things have changed a lot over the 50 years that National Star has been going. In1967, 50 years that National Star has been going. In 1967, the first ten stu d e nts going. In 1967, the first ten students arrived. Now, the college has over 150, all with very different disabilities. Patrick studied here in the 80s. He left this place available side went on to get a degree in social science. This is the actual computer that patrick took his exams on. Today, he is back with his former teacher, john, reminiscing about how quickly he picked up the old technology. Reminiscing about how quickly he picked up the old technologym took him about two minutes. All right, brainbox. I absolutely loved my years here. My dad said it was like an equivalent to eat in for disabled people. Its important to have special schools for people with complex needs and disabilities. Thanks to these accessible flats, stu d e nts thanks to these accessible flats, students like that then can study and live independently away from home. As the college celebrated big anniversary, its expanding, although other charity, investments around funding are calculated risks. But being bold is what National Star is all about. They are trying to build on the aspirations of disabled people and today, just for fun, they are doing that with a hot air balloon. The education people get here allows them to live and study just like any other student with one aim, to prepare them as best as possible for life after college. Our lead story in the outside source newsroom is that donald trump has been defending his decision to fire the director of the fbi, calling james comey a showboat and a grandstand in an interview, saying the fbi had been in turmoil. For those of you not counting, it is 28 days to go until the uk election. The big story today was the announcement of the leak of the labour party manifesto. Labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn Tweet Jeremycorbyn that he was proud to announce our Shadow Cabinet and National Executive committee have just unanimously agreed our manifesto for the many, not the few. Its undoubtedly a substantial document. Its 45 pages long. Lets look at some of the policy is getting the most attention. There are plans to renationalise the railways, also to reverse the sale of royal mail and to create publicly owned energy companies. There will be £6 billion of extra annual funding for the National Health service. That will paid for by raising income tax on the top 5 of earners. And £250 billion on Infrastructure Spending over the next 10 years. Lets bring in mark from westminster. Voters cant complain they dont have some distinct choices here. That is absolutely the point. There are some eye watering proposals. On top of what you mentioned, they want to end tuition fees, banff mentioned, they want to end tuition fees, ba nff racking mentioned, they want to end tuition fees, Banff Racking and have National Pay Bargaining for certain industries. What wasnt mentioned in this leaked draft manifesto, the Question Mark over all of this, is the cost. How much will it all cost and how will they pay for it. We dont know the answer to that yet. We did have a taster recently when the Labour Party Said they would increase the taxes on business, corporation tax. Economists have come out and said that might not work because if you raise it, you mightfind work because if you raise it, you might find businesses move away and you get less money in. Labour insists it wont be higher than any of the g 7 countries though, so there wont be a cheap alternative close by. Thats showing how even when they come out with costings, there will be confusion over whether it will work or not. The Institute For Fiscal Studies have given a quick verdict on the Labour Ma Nifesto quick verdict on the labour manifesto and they said it was the greatest State Intervention in the economy outside of a crisis since the 1970s. So whatever you think, as you said, one thing voters he has is a choice between labour and the conservatives. How is this working because we have been talking about this all day, its been the main story in the uk, but presumably it will be revealed all over again next week . It will, and from what we understand, the leak we have all seen understand, the leak we have all seen will be quite similar to what is actually agreed. We dont think there will be many differences. This was not the plan for labour. What happened was newspapers and then the bbc got hold of it last night. It was leaked out, embarrassing for Jeremy Corbyn said he didnt turn up toa Jeremy Corbyn said he didnt turn up to a poster launch this morning, and one of the questions was why was it leaked . One of the questions was why was it leaked . It one of the questions was why was it leaked . It undermines the discipline within the party and suggests either the more radical element wanted to get their undeleted ideas out there or somebody opposed toJeremy Corbyn wa nted or somebody opposed toJeremy Corbyn wanted to show him up. We dont know which one. The polls are showing that the conservatives still have a clear lead over the labour party with the Liberal Democrats following. Those polls are not changing much at the moment, are they . No, they are not, but they really do matter. They matter in terms of what kind of lead theresa may will, one with come away with if she wins this election. Of course any party could win the election but the polls were similar place when she called the election. So why did she called the election. So why did she called the election. So why did she call it . So she could increase her majority. We had the local elections. Our greatest litmus test, if you like, and the conservatives made Good Progress in england, they started making progress in scotland. They came up against strong Labour Support in wales, and so it really isnt clear whether they can do it but the polls last week showed they could come away with a landslide. One Secret Weapon for theresa may, ukip were pretty much wiped out at ukip were pretty much wiped outat, local elections. If all the ukip the local elections. If all the ukip votes went to the conservatives, and they are both now trying to be the party for the leave votes in the uk, the conservatives would get about 57 extra seats, so that could be their Secret Weapon. Mark, thank you. Another thing i should mention, because of the first past the post system, the polling doesnt necessarily translate to representation in parliament. You can geta representation in parliament. You can get a full explanation of how that works on our website. All week, we have been reflecting on the release of 82 chibok schoolgirls. Once released they were flown from banki near the border with cameroon to maiduguri and then to the capital abuja. And there, they met the president. Most of them have yet to be reunited with their families back in chibok. You might have expected them to be so you might have expected them to be so by now but it hasnt happened yet for a variety of practical reasons in many cases. But next, ive an interview with one man who has been reunited with his daughter. Hes yakubu nkeke, head of the Chibok Parents Association and hes been talking to alastiar leithead. When i first heard and i saw her, shejumped when i first heard and i saw her, she jumped and grabbed when i first heard and i saw her, shejumped and grabbed me, i held her and started dancing around with her. Shes not the only one because there are my brothers daughters. In my family, there were seven. Everybody in chibok, they all rejoice, not only the biological pa rents. Rejoice, not only the biological parents. Everybody rejoices because they are rescued. What will happen next . They will be brought to chibok by our Council Chairman and he will give me photographs to make identification for the parents so they can see their daughters. For example, some of them. See another one. When i reached abuja, the minister gave me the list. They got it from the girls. So i compiled my register, there is no mistake, and i went to the girls and i confirmed, asking one after the other, and they told me exactly and i made good identification. What will the reaction be in chibok to the news . It isa reaction be in chibok to the news . It is a wonderful day. Everybody is trooping into my house. Even today, you will see them. Many parents will come. What about the 22 girls, the 21 plus, are they all well . They are fine. They continued their education. Every month, three of us paid a visit to them and their pa rents paid a visit to them and their parents as well. What we are planning now, by september, we hope they will be distributed to different schools to carry on their education. When the news of this 82, they spent the whole night singing, praising god. What do they tell you about the time living under boko haram . Sometimes, they cannot even have a meal. There are some of them, those that have been given in marriage, but according to them, it is not forceful. It is when you decide to marry with them. What do you think of these boko haram fighters who kidnapped your girls . The boko haram fighters, iforget them. Iam the boko haram fighters, iforget them. I am a christian, iforgave them. I am a christian, iforgave them. For listening to the nigerian government, for making a release of these girls, they are human beings too. Do you think the negotiations will continue and the rest of the girls will be released . Through the process they are going through now, i know by god s grace, they will be released. A remarkable man. You can see that interview on the bbc news app. A few minutes ago we were talking about the semifinals of the europa league. First of all, it is now 11 in their majesty united match. As it stands, Manchester United go through to the final, but one more goal, and so to the go go three. To make it more interesting, they have both just had a player sent off. Lyon only need one goal to ta ke sent off. Lyon only need one goal to take that match into extra time now as well. You can follow both games through the bbc sports up now. It is the live page and you can watch that. Thats all from me. Goodbye. Its been dry across vast swathes of the United Kingdom for quite some time, particularly across northern parts of england today, where we saw this beautiful photo. However, we are starting to see some rain coming into southern parts, which is moving ever northwards on quite a Humid Strea M ever northwards on quite a humid stream of air ever northwards on quite a Humid Stream Ofaircoming ever northwards on quite a humid stream of air coming in from the near continent. That humid air will be with us for the coming couple of days, bringing with it clout in the sky and showers dotted around which could be high with the odd rumble of thunder. Eastern scotland looks pretty grey and cool. Only 9 degrees. Temperatures will be much higherfurther degrees. Temperatures will be much higher further west. Across england and wales there will be a good rash of showers through the afternoon and they could be the odd rumble of thunder to go with that. A fairly humid feel to things for many with warmer temperatures as well. Some of the showers in the south west, quite sharp, but those In The South East look like they tend to fade away through the evening. It will be a fairly warm night foremost, with temperatures in double figures. Certainly in the mild side at least. Going into saturday, it looks like it stay fairly settled fairly u nsettled. It stay fairly settled fairly unsettled. In the north west on saturday, quite cloudy and breezy with outbreaks of rain. As you work your way down to the south east corner, fewer in the way of showers with lots of dry, bright weather and sunshine. 18 or 19 degrees In The South Eastern corner. 15 or so for glasgow and belfast. Saturday night into sunday, this Weather System is its way across pretty much all parts of the United Kingdom. Behind that, you get this fresh air coming in from the atlantic. While there will bea from the atlantic. While there will be a day of sunny spells and showers, temperatures will be lower, so showers, temperatures will be lower, soa showers, temperatures will be lower, so a fresh appeal to things with the humidity gone. Looking out to the atla Ntic Humidity gone. Looking out to the atlantic for further Weather Systems to spread their way in, you can see the isobars to spread their way in, you can see the isoba rs mean to spread their way in, you can see the isobars mean it will be a windy day on monday. They could be quite a bit of rain pushing into wales, northern england, Northern Ireland and scotland. It looks like the south east were just about avoided. Temperatures are about 17 or 18 here. Monday into tuesday, the ice above is a part of it so the wind eased down as the weather permits its way south across the country. Ive decided that, it looks fine and dry. It could turn quite warm, maybe even a few Degrees Higher than 22. There was low pressure towards the north west of the uk and whether France Associated with that are likely to bring some rain. That will slip its way southward and eastwards. We start to see High Pressure building in, with the resulta nt pressure building in, with the resultant wins coming in from the north. As we get into next weekend, we see things turning a good deal cooler with rain at times that could be quite heavy. It could be breezy and for some, those wins could be quite strong, particularly in the north west. Tonight at ten labours election manifesto is formally approved by the Party Leadership and will be published within days. After a four hour meeting, Jeremy Corbyn said the programme had been unanimously agreed, carefully costed and would be very popular. The likely offer to voters includes nationalising the entire rail network and abolishing University Tuition fees in england. An offer that will transform the lives of many people in our society and ensure that we have a government in britain, onjune 8th, that will work for the many, not the few. But earlier mr corbyn had failed to attend labours big poster launch, amid confusion over a leaked version of the labour manifesto. Well be looking at some of labours policies in more detail and well be talking to voters in york
