And leaders from most of the main parties have been taking part in a live tv debate on the bbc. Interestingly Prime Minister theresa may wasnt there she ruled out doing head to head tv debates and sent a senior minister, amber rudd, in her place. The main opposition labour leader Jeremy Corbyn had said he also wouldnt go if mrs may wasnt appearing but he had a last minute change of heart, and decided to turn up. Lets hear him clashing with amber rudd over payments to disabled people. We are a party who always supports those in most need. And the welfare bill for helping people on disabilities has gone up £7 billion in the last seven years. And is now at £50 billion. We will always provide that safety net. Amber, you tried to remove safety nets away from people on disabilities and turned around on that. You are not credible. I know there is no extra payment you do not want to add to, no tax you do not want to rise, but the fact is that we have to concentrate our resources on the people who need it most. And we have to stop thinking, as you do, that theres a magic money tree. You have to be accountable. Not surprisingly the issue of brexit was a strong theme throughout the debate. The leader of the Liberal Democrats tim farron said it was vital that britain remained in the Single Market. We also have to get the big choices right. The elephant in the room. The fact is, we need to remain in the Single Market or else we will not be able to afford the National Health service, social care or any of the support we are talking about. And ifjeremy cared about having enough money to spend on those who need it the most, to raise living standards, he would not have trooped through the lobbies with the conservatives and ukip to trigger article 50 and make britain poorer. The Scottish National party was represented by Debited Leader Angus Robertson and he attacked theresa may over how much pensioners would have two sacrifice. Now, the Prime Minister didnt have the guts to come along this evening and tell us. Applause i would like to challenge amber rudd to tell us the answer to that question. Because they must have costed it. They must know how much money that will bring in. Please tell the pensioners of this country how much they will have to pay to fund tory austerity. How much . Well, late last night a rather Surprising New poll was published. Its from the firm yougov, and it predicts a Hung Parliament thats when no party wins an overall majority. Its caused a bit of a stir because until now Prime Minister theresa may has been way ahead. The bbcs poll tracker thats all the polls collated still has mrs may ahead by ten points. And yougov themselves have indicated that their projection is subject to quite a lot of uncertainty. The bbcs former Political Editor Nick Robinson summed things up when he tweeted earlier thats clear then. Pollsters say that the tories are on course to either lose 20 seats yougov or gain majority of over 100 comres lets go to clive myrie whos been at the debate in cambridge. How did it go . Hello. As you heard from Nick Robinson, it is difficult to predict these things and no one really knows what is going to happen, the only poll that is important is the one next thursday on the 8th ofjune. How did it go tonight . Very raucous at times, talking over each other and you had a sense of the back and forth of the debate with those clips, and im in the spin room at Cambridge University where the journalists are writing their copy and interpretation of the debate, how it went for them, and we have had several politicians here trying to give their interpretation of the reports that you are going to see on the front pages. To my right is david davis, he will be spinning his particular line. Everyone is trying to put their interpretation on exactly what happened and i reckon ive got the best interpretation of all, our chief critical correspondent. How do you sum up it went, the biggest Election Debate . It isa went, the biggest Election Debate . It is a crowded field, seven parties taking part, significantly theresa may was not here, deciding she was not going to come. Maybe looking at the sustained attack amber rudd came under, you can maybe see why, because the conservatives have been in power seven years and they have a re cord in power seven years and they have a record to defend that she was attacked about cuts to the Police Service and hospitals, schools, food banks, and what they are doing with pensioners. All of that from all sides. Her argument is, pensioners. All of that from all sides. Herargument is, you have pensioners. All of that from all sides. Her argument is, you have to make difficult decisions when you are in powerand make difficult decisions when you are in power and she turned that back on the labour party and said, you are promising to put up peoples taxes and promising to borrow more, you want to spend and it is a magic monetary, that is the basic argument about the economy which was central magic money tree. The economy really was the one which came forward as the most significant topic. Jeremy corbyn decided to turn up topic. Jeremy corbyn decided to turn up even though theresa may did not make it. He said he wouldnt if she didnt turn up, but he came here and he debated with the others. Did it make sense, was it worth it for him . His people believe, the more that the audience see him at the more they like him, they are convinced that there are newspapers against him and if he can get his message across directly to viewers without the media in between, it will work. That is why they put him out there today and he has looked more comfortable on the campaign trail. It was easier for him because he hasnt got a record to defend, but he was asked about immigration, that was interesting. Many of his supporters previously at the last election ended up voting for brexit, and so there is a big discussion about immigration and whether labour wa nt about immigration and whether labour want the numbers to come down. He simply spoke about the contribution that immigrants have made to this country and he was also asked about security and terrorism, but because of the nature of the format, with seven people, it dont get a sustained attack on you unless you are the person representing the government. Thanks. It wasntjust the bigger parties, we had plaid cymru and ukip and the green party, this is a very big stage for them to lay out their stall as far as the election is concerned. To talk to millions of people and get across their message. We have about seven days to go before the all important day. Back to you. Thanks forjoining us. Day. Back to you. Thanks forjoining us. And now sport. It was announced yesterday but today it became official Arsene Wenger will be Arsenal Manager for two more years. Tulsen tollett is at the bbc sport centre. A number of supporters wanted him gone, but what is the general reaction . Quite good. He has been at the club now 21 years and he has done ever so well, and there was the period earlier in the year, the debate about Arsene Wenger, some of the fans wanted him to stay and some wa nted the fans wanted him to stay and some wanted him out, but they had a good finish to the season, culminating in the fa cup final victory over chelsea at the weekend. Arsene wenger the only man to win the fa cup seven times. Arsene wenger was incensed about what was said by some fans, but this is what he expects from the club in the coming weeks. What is the basic dna of the club, lets be together to support our players and to support the club and give absolutely altogether of our best to be at the level where we want to be. We can move up to the next level, im convinced of that. By having faith in the way we want to play and supporting the players we have already. And of course we will try to strengthen our squad, to be stronger next season. He talks about next season, they finished in fifth place and they are in the Europa League and outside of the champions day for the first time under Arsene Wenger. Champions day. Champions league. Under Arsene Wenger. Champions day. Champions league. Thanks for joining us. Margaret court is a legend of the tennis arena, having won 2a grand slam titles but now shes once again in hot water for making disparaging comments about homosexuality. In an interview with a christian radio station, court said tennis was now full of lesbians and that homosexuality was a lust of the flesh, like adultery and fornication. She added that transgender children were the work of the devil. All this comes after Court Last Week wrote an open letter to australias national airline, qantas, saying she wouldnt fly with them because of their support for same sex marriage. Many now say an arena in melbourne named after Margaret Court should be renamed. Leading the Charge Anotherformer great martina navratilova. This was the response of mens world number one andy murray to the recent comments. I hadnt heard anything about the arena changing name, so im not sure about that. I dont see why anyone has a problem with two people who love each other getting married, if its two men, two women, thats great. I dont see why it should matter. Its not anyone elses business and everyone should have, in my opinion, the same rights. Yeah, thats my view on it. I dont agree with it. Sudden cardiac death is the biggest killer of athletes and sports stars. It can come completely out of the blue, with no prior symptoms. Earlier this year we saw the death of Tottenham Hotspurs under 23 coach and former England International ugo ehiogu aged just 1m. And in 2012 Bolton Wanderers midfielder Fabrice Muamba had to be revived after collapsing during a game. St georges hospital in london is a Global Leader in sports cardiology, and regularly puts elite athletes through their paces under the guidance of renowned cardiologist professor sanjay sharma. I met the team and experienced for myself how they put hearts to the test. This is what you go through if you are an elite athlete being tested for any sign you might be likely to suffer from for any sign you might be likely to sufferfrom sudden for any sign you might be likely to suffer from sudden Cardiac Arrest. This is why the charity Cardiac Arrest in the young runs this lab. 12 deaths a week in the uk alone from Cardiac Arrest, sudden death, and if you think of the impact this has on the family, such a tragic event, but also the impact on the community, as well.

That we should do it and do it straightaway. Everyone who went to the arena last week can go on sunday for free. This fan says that she will go, but she is worried. Im not going to lie, i am nervous about going. I do get a bit sick to my stomach thinking about going.

This is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur Lead Story is afg hanistans president has described a massive bomb attack in car ball as a crime against humanity. In kabul. The us has tested the strength of its Defence System successfully shooting down a dummy Ballistic Missile mid air. Let me show you how they did it. Here, at an Airbase North of los angeles, the pentagon launched a rocket. Its job was to shoot down the fake Ballistic Missile which was launched from the Marshall Islands in the pacific ocean. That missile was designed to imitate the type of weapon north korea could fire it was shot down over the ocean. The bbcs peter bowes has the story, from los angeles. 0n on display for everyone to see, the complex Technology Behind americas ground based interceptor designed to halt a long range missile in its tracks. The interceptor was launched from an Air Force Base on the californian coast, its target was a mock up of an international Ballistic Missile, which was fired from an island in the pacific more than 4000 miles away. The operation was likened to a bullet hitting another bullet, though at far higher speeds, and it was a success and according to the director of the Us Missile Defence Agency it was an incredible accomplishment and a critical milestone. It demonstrated that america had a capable and credible deterrent against a very real threat. Earlier this week north korea carried out its ninth Ballistic Missile test, officials said the Interceptor Test was not timed as a response to the increased tensions will vote north korea are facing growing isolation from the international community. United states will pursue an aggressive Domestic Campaign to isolate the regime in north korea and calls on all countries concerned about north Koreas Nuclear Sabre Rattling to join us in this effort. Their growing Ballistic Missile threat puts a serious risk strategic stability around the globe and cannot go unchallenged. North korea has ramped up its Weapons Programme over the past year, with its successful Interceptor Test and more to come, america isnt showing it has the technology that could thwart an attack on its mainland. America is showing. I want to show you this map. It shows north koreas missile ranges. These green rings show how far the missiles that have been developed and tested so far can reach. This red line which stretches over to the us is what the countrys military is reportedly working on. We can go to washington. What do you make of this american test . We can go to washington. What do you make of this American Test7m we can go to washington. What do you make of this american test . It is a big success, Missile Defence is something which has been criticised in the us because it is very expensive, and the technology is not deeply proven. Its not like other weapons which have been developed over the years that had been robust the tested. They dont get tested often, and this is a major step forward for us Missile Defence. It was the first time it was intercepted outside of the atmosphere and us Officials Say that this is a big step and could prove a Big Deterrent in keeping the us safe at least until 2020. Big deterrent in keeping the us safe at least until2020. How Big Deterrent in keeping the us safe at least until 2020. How difficult is the technology to develop . It has been described as two bullets hitting each other midair. That is exactly right. I was talking to one of the companies that makes this Missile Interceptor and they said thatis Missile Interceptor and they said that is not even showing exactly how difficult it is because these missiles are moving at thousands of Miles Per Hour and the intercepts are happening thousands of miles away from where the missile was launched and where the interceptor is launched. The us says this is preplanned and not a direct response to what north korea has been doing. There have been ninth Ballistic Missile tests by north korea. |j there have been ninth Ballistic Missile tests by north korea. I was at the pentagon this morning when the director of the Missile Defence agency gave his briefing and i will tell you, he used north korea and iran by name several times in the briefing, something that pentagon officials tend to be hesitant to do, they usually just say officials tend to be hesitant to do, they usuallyjust say it is about they usuallyjust say it is about the threat or the threat that is out there, alluding to Something Like russia, china, north korea, but he actually called them out by name. They wanted north korea to know this system has been tested and validated and it works. What do you think the response will be from north korea . As we have seen in recent weeks and months, they have been firing off many rockets, the last one on the 14th of may, into the atmosphere and back. By all accounts there has been no sign of kim jong un hacking back. By all accounts there has been no sign of kimjong un hacking down and he is continuing to test missiles and so it is a wait and see backing down. We will see what his responses. Does that make you concerned . That this is repeated ignoring of the United Nations resolutions, and they are continuing to carry out this test. It is a huge concern to the military and they are co nsta ntly concern to the military and they are constantly talking about this. James mattis a couple of weeks ago, he said he was very concerned about the devastation north korea could bring to say, south korea, so we have got to say, south korea, so we have got to wait and see if they Start Testing again. And then see what the us response is, whether it makes an example of another type of test just like this. We are out of time. Thanks forjoining us. I dont know if you have fallen asleep while with a phone in your hand, but this happened with donald trump, and it seems the president fell asleep while he was in the middle of typing something on twitter and it has created something ofa twitter and it has created something of a sensation. A lot of people are trying to figure out the true meaning of that word. Thanks for watching. Good evening. Nothing exceptional, and most places have seen 75 90 of their normal amounts of rainfall, and there is rain on the way for the first day of summer, thanks to this area of low pressure to the north west of the uk, with these Weather Fronts. It will start off in Northern Ireland bringing some rain and a bit of a breeze, and into the western side of scotland. But the grey start for some parts of england and wales, especially in the south, but that will burn away and there be sunshine coming through, and it will be a warm afternoon, 26 in the south eastern corner. Low 20s quite widely, but something fresher behind. Fairly slow moving feature, slowly working its way across scotland, and then we see ripples on the Weather Front and that will slow its progress but eventually it will make its way to the south eastern corner. As we had to friday, warm airover corner. As we had to friday, warm air over the southern half and it will be a very warm day, while turning fresher from the north and west. That is the Weather Front, some parts of england and wales, but the rain could be quite heavy. It will turn very warm indeed, 27, that could spark thunderstorms. Mixture of sunny spells and scattering of showers at the weekend. The Westerly Winds starts to get in over the uk and that will bring a fresher feel. Chance of thunderstorms and the Weather Front bushes that across towards the near continent and we are with the Westerly Winds, still in the low 20s in the south east, but most places will be in the upper teens. Saturday night into sunday, Westerly Winds from the atlantic, areas of low pressure, not far from the uk, it will be a breezy day on sunday, nothing untoward in terms of the strength of the win, but there will be a fair bit of ground. Most of the showers in the west. Most places will be in the upper teens, maybe the low 20s. The early part of next week, low pressure in charge of the weather, and further areas of low pressure lurking in the atlantic heading our way, it looks fairly u nsettled. Heading our way, it looks fairly unsettled. Monday will be a breezy day. Showers coming from the west on that breeze, and again temperatures will be in the middle to upper teens. And then into the early part of the week, through tuesday, we have the next area of low pressure coming our way, that will bring wind and rain. Unsettled look. High pressure is still lingering across the near continent and that will just about insert its influence. As we head to the latter part of next week. The low Pressure System will be pushing its way across the north west of the uk. Those systems are driven by the jet stream which is marking its way to the north. Next week, it is a north south split. It will be dry and warm in the south, but that might spark off some thunderstorms. Tonight at ten were in cambridge where one of the biggest debates of this Election Campaign has just taken place, with exchanges on immigration, security and the future of public services. The debate included labours Jeremy Corbyn and featured repeated attacks on the Prime Minister for refusing to take part. She was represented by amber rudd. Some of the clashes were over stagnating wages and austerity. Amber rudd seems so confident that this is a country at ease with itself. Have you been to a food bank . Have you seen people sleeping around our stations . Have you seen. Applause. Ijust have to take on some ofJeremy Corbyns fantasy economics. I mean, he has this money tree wish list in his manifesto. And the Prime Minister, campaigning in the west country today, defended her decision not to be in cambridge for tonights debate. I think debates where the politicians are squabbling among themselves doesnt do anything for the process of electioneering
