Do get in touch on all the stories were talking about this morning. Use the Hashtag Victoria Live and if you text, you will be charged at the Standard Network rate. Labour is promising english students who Start University courses in england this autumn wont have to pay tuition fees if the party wins the election. Labour has pledged to abolish fees from 2018, but says it wa nts 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 stu d e nts year. The conservatives say more students than ever from disadvantaged backgrounds are getting into university. Lets talk to norman smith who is at westminster. Fill us in then norman . This is one of mr corbyns big stand out policies. If you had to name the three big corbyn policies, one would be Ending Austerity and two Nationalising The Railways and three is scrapping tuition fees. Labour is going further. Theyre not merely talking about passing legislation in 2018 to stop students afterwards having to pay, theyre saying any youngsters going to university this autumn would also not have to pay. So their fees for the first year before the legislation comes in, would be written off. Anyone who is already a student would no longer have to pay any fees even though they have begun university and those who have Left University and those who have Left University and are having to pay back a student loan, the Interest Rate they would have to pay would be hacked back from 6 to just inflation. Thats around 2. 7 . So a significant reduction too in their costs. On top of that, theyre talking about bringing back maintenance grants. Thats a really sizeable chunky package for students, costing a not insignificant £11 billion. So thats a lot of cash, but speaking this morning the shadow Education Secretary said she thought it was just wrong that youngsters starting out in the world should begin with such massive debts if though chose to go to university. 0k. Let me ask you about social care, since the conservatives launched their manifesto, they have faced criticism from all sorts of sectors. Whats the latest today . Well sh the tory high command, those around may say they are not backing down and not going to re think the policy, there will be a consultation, but that was to look at tweaking the fine details. That is, you know, trouble down the line, i have to say because there is a lot of disquiet, not just amongst the Opposition Parties obviously but in the charities, in the pensioners groups, in think tanks, they have almost universally criticised the policies and in the tory party there are sounds of disquiet because the policy which mrs may has come up with is quite good news for poorer families because it raises the m ea ns test families because it raises the mea ns test before families because it raises the means test before you have to contribute to £100,000. However, if you are someone who owns an average house around £250,000 or more, it is not good news because you will almost certainly have to pay for your ca re because almost certainly have to pay for your care because what theyre saying is, youll have to pay for everything until youre only left with £100,000. If you have a house worth £250,000 say which is the average you will have to pay the first £150,000 of care before you get down to the £100,000 limit. It isa get down to the £100,000 limit. It is a real hit on middle class and better off families so there is the real row brewing over this change. And the green party launch their ma nifesto and the green party launch their manifesto this morning . They do indeed. Some spiky policies. A lot of it is about protecting the environment, probably, you know, no surprises there. , i think what might get the headlines are their other policies which are to the left ofjeremy corbyn. They are talking about reversing all the privatisation in the nhs, theyre talking about scrapping trident completely. Of course, labour is committed to carrying on with trident and to use the money from trident and to use the money from trident to invest in the nhs, but two of the policies which i think, you know, might interest people most is theyre talking about a basic income for everyone. In other words eve ryo ne income for everyone. In other words everyone regardless of their wealth should get a basic State Income Set just a little above jobseekers allowa nce just a little above Jobseekers Allowance at £80. All other benefits with the exception of Disability Benefits would go, but everyone, everyone, would get this basic income of £80 and they are talking about a shorter working week. Their argument being that you know people feel under a lot of pressure, a lot of stress. If people worked four days and i think thats what they are going to suggest, it would provide more scope for people looking for work. Those are radical policies. They are talking about phasing those in if they were to form a government. They are not saying it should happen immediately. We will bring you the Green Party Ma nifesto we will bring you the Green Party Manifesto launch at 10. 30am. Joanna gosling is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the days news. 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 Palestinian Peace 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.

This morning, hes heading for tel aviv to begin his bid to find peace between israel and the palestinians. Hell meet israels Prime Minister today and the palestinian president tomorrow, having met both already in washington. There is some doubt about whether his unconventional, business like 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.

Lets get some sport with holly. And lets start with the controversy surrounding john terrys sending off at chelsea. Whats been the reaction . This was supposed to be a day of celebrations for chelsea. It was john terrys final appearance for the club so they thought there must be an emotional farewell which we had expected, but perhaps not in the way that it happened. What did occur, in the 26th minute in case you were wondering, his shirt number, john terry came off. He was substituted at the 26th minute and there was a guard of honour which has been described by some people as quite odd. Now, this guard of honour occurred. It took him to the 28th minute before he finally came off and it has divided opinion with many people calling it contrived. Others saying it undermined the game. Here is what final score pundit Gareth Crooks had to say. This isnt hollywood, this is a premier league fixture. This has been set up. Im uncomfortable with it to be honest with you. I think it is very unusual to see that. I have never seen that before. Ok, i know he is a unique player, but yeah, 26 minutes he goes off, he has number26. Player, but yeah, 26 minutes he goes off, he has number 26. It is the guard of honour in the middle of a game. Im not happy with the way it was done. Some strong words, but i dont think he was alondon in that reaction. I heard Robbie Savage saying, what was that about . A p pa re ntly saying, what was that about . Apparently it was john terrys saying, what was that about . Apparently it wasjohn terrys idea. Social media has been ablaze . Huge reaction on twitter today. We have got some tweets that said the game is dead. Strong words from sean bishop. Sunderland should be ashamed. Testimonial antics in a league game. Shameful. David mc nally says every Chelsea Player should have been booked for that pathetic behaviour and for bringing the game into disrepute. Some say he was right to do that and that he was the sort of player that deserves that type of response. Who knows, but in the meantime, it does mean, of course, that was john terrys final game whether or not he likes how he went off, of course. Arsene wenger wont talk about his future, but has been talking about the impact, the speculation around his future had on his team . Thats right. Well, in the end arsenal finished fifth despite beating everton yesterday 3 1, but it means they have missed out on Champions League football for the first time in 20 years. Of course, the fans inside the stadium made their disappointment clear and fans have been divided over whether Arsene Wenger should stay on when his contract expires. There have been many protests against him since the season began injanuary. There was, of course celebration for Manchester City and liverpool. There was a tentative wait for liverpool fans who had to wait until before half time before they took the lead against middlesbrough before scoring 30 against middlesbrough before scoring 3 0 and securing fourth place in the league. Celebrations across the board yesterday league. Celebrations across the boa rd yesterday and disappointment too for arsenal, but we will have more sport in the next half an hour. Thank you very much. First this morning, this programme has been told that a Police Enquiry into deaths at a Mental Health trust could investigate up to 20 cases. The Linden Centre in essex is facing questions into deaths that have happened since the year 2000. It follows fresh investigations into the death of matthew leahy, who was found hanged at Linden Centre in 2012. His mother, melanie leahy, said her talks with essex police suggested the cases had taken place in the last 17 years. Our reporter simon cox has been investigating. It was the most unsafe place he could have been. I remember him texting me, mum, please let me come home, im in hell here. I wouldnt want to be in there, and if i was in there id want certain people to look after me. 17 years. Why have they left it 17 years to look into these deaths . Gds. Gds. Suite, missed gds. Sweet, kind, mischievious. Little rascal at times. My entire world. He loved crabbing, fishing, boats. He was great at school, good in maths, good in computers, loved it. Matthew leahy, a bright, sporty student. In his teens, he began Smoking Cannabis and having hallucinations. By 2012, his Mental Health had spiralled. Thered been a situation with his father, and the police were called and he was admitted to hospital. I was told, dont come and see him for seven days, let him settle onto the ward, so i respected that. I never got to see my son again. Matthew was a patient at the Linden Centre, run by the north Essex Partnership trust. A week after being admitted, the centre phoned his mum. Actually this is the day the lies began. The phone rang, it was about 1 30, 1 15, and the doctor. Just said, er. Matthews been found hanging, it doesnt look good. I couldnt breathe, ifell to the floor on my knees, and my partner took the rest of the call. And there he was on the trolley, and the next instruction was, do not touch, hes a crime scene. And i asked, could i take a cutting of his hair . No, youre not allowed to touch, hes a crime scene. Just 20 when he died, at his inquest the jury recorded an open verdict. Each patient supposedly has a care plan, and it came to light that matthew had no care plan, he had no key worker, no one knew, for two days there wasnt even any observation sheets, so where was he . Its just so unnecessary. The Police Report says, matthew was taken to a place of safety. It was the most unsafe place he could have been. I remember him texting me, mum, please let me come home, im in hell here. And, um. Ijust said, no, stay there, these are the professionals, they know what theyre doing, you need some help. The inquestjury said matthew had been subjected to a series of multiple failings and missed opportunities over a long period of time. After the inquest, the coroner suggested that the trust told a Public Inquiry into matthews death, but they said it would be too expensive and it would take money away from frontline services. But matthew was not the first patient whod hung himself at the Linden Centre. In 2001, Nicola Dordoy was found hanging from a curtain pole. Three years later, Denise Gregory hung herself from the hinges of the door. Then, in 2008, ben morris was found hanging from a wardrobe door. Weve learned essex police have launched an investigation into deaths at the Linden Centre going back to the year 2000. Now, the police wont say exactly how many cases theyre looking at, but one source has told us that it could be as many as 20 deaths being investigated. This nurse had noticed these problems for many years. He spent a decade at the trust and left last summer. He wants us to protect his identity as it could affect his employment. The risk of Ligature Points had been identified many years ago, and as a result one would have expected the trust to have taken action regarding those risks. When senior staff and nurses asked whether those had been dealt with, Senior Management would give them reassurance. Did you try and raise concerns or ask managers about, are these things being fixed that would minimise people taking their own life . As a staff member, yes, on a regular basis. What was the response . If you asked too many questions, you were deemed as a troublemaker. If Ligature Points as a risk had been resolved, there would have been less loss of lives. As a staff member, you cant do anything about that. A staff member cant change a door. They can say, when is that door going to be fixed . But thats about it. Do you think if there had those changes that they had been told to do, that then maybe some of those patients who died, that they wouldnt have . Certainly. The Essex Partnership trust said the history of serious incidents at the Linden Centre is a matter of great concern that must be addressed, and that it places Patient Safety as a top priority. But, to improve safety, this nurse says theyll need to tackle a reliance on temporary or agency staff. Youd have one qualified member of staff that was a regular staff member, and you could have up to three or four agency staff, and that would have a profound difficulty because they wouldnt be aware of the environment and they need extra supervision. Do you think it is a safe place for patients . I wouldnt want to be in there, and if i was in there id want certain people to look after me. So thats pretty damning, this is you as someone whod worked there for a long time, if you or a relative orfriend was sick. . Id be extremely scared to go in there. The trust said it was improving systems to ensure investigations are carried out rigorously and thoroughly, and that learning shared across the entire organisation. They are also undertaking a full ligature audit, removing features that could be used by patients to take their own lives. But theyve promised to tackle this before. In february 2015, the regulator, the Care Quality Commission, inspected the Linden Centre. It found risks on the ward but it was not apparent that actions had been fully taken to address these. It also said that Risk Assessments seen lacked detail. Inspectors returned to the trust in august 2015. They found one patient attempted to strangle themselves with a ligature during our inspection, and there was still an unacceptable number of Ligature Risks identified during the inspection. A year later when they came back, they found safety was still a concern and said, the trust must ensure action is taken to remove identified Ligature Risks. While the focus is on the Linden Centre, the problems at the trust arent confined to one unit. I think its heartbreaking for herfamily. Melanie was a devoted mum to her two children and her family, who are still reeling from her death. Last year, melanie lowe was admitted to hospital under the care of the north essex trust after her Mental Health made her increasingly unstable. Melanie took an overdose from pills from her own wash bag and was admitted to hospital, where she remained on constant watch. However, when she was readmitted some days later back to the ward, her Observation Levels were downgraded from constant watch to the minimum level required. Unobserved, she took her own life, suffocating herself. At her inquest last november, once again the essex coroner heard evidence of a catalogue of mistakes. And we heard during the inquest that shed tried to abscond twice while shed been on constant watch, and the locum psychiatrist who reassessed her upon admission didnt have access to the observation notes during that time, so didnt know shed tried to abscond, and she was unaware of the trusts own policies and guidelines in relation to Observation Levels. Were you surprised at all by what you heard . It seems quite concerning that the trust dont seem to be learning from previous mistakes. Instant reports are prepared just so that families can know that this is being looked into and treated seriously and hope that it can be prevented from happening again. Thats what melanie leahys trying to ensure, by supporting other families going through the same trauma she faced. Shes on her way to an inquest of another patient found hanged at the Linden Centre. This was a fight for answers from our own sons death, and ijust cant ignore other families that are going through the same stuff and being treated the same way. Its just a club you belong to, and its the most horrendous club that i wish id neverjoined. At the coroners court, shes meeting another member of the club, lisa morris, whose son ben hung himself in the Linden Centre in 2008. Itsjust like reliving a nightmare, because ive tried so hard to prevent this happening again. And along then with melanie after matthew died, melanie came and found me, and i think weve been down every avenue possible to try and stop this happening to anyone else, and when you hear that it does happen again, why . Why . When so many recommendations have been made to the Linden Centre of how to put things right, and theyre simply not doing them . These people could still be living now if the hospital had listened to recommendations. Well, now we know back to 2001 of a young lady that died in there. And all these recommendations were made then. Its notjust by the cqc and the health and safety, its by this coroner as well. She recommends that that hospital do certain things and theyre not being done. And this goes round and round, and over and over, and over and over. When is it ever going to stop . I do believe bens death is one of the 20 odd that they are looking into, and that makes me angry as well. Bens since 2000, bens death, thats 17 years ago. 17 years. Why have they left it 17 years to look into these deaths . Why . Can the Police Inquiries into deaths at the Linden Centre restore trust for the grieving families, whose relatives died in the place they were supposed to be safe . Let me read you this e mail from aaron who was watching the film. I have been in the Linden Centre three times over the past two make ears are due to attempts to take my own life. The last time was may 28 last year. I put myself into a coma for five days on the last attempt. Since then, i have tried to put it behind me and im doing better. The reason for my e mail is that when you feel like i did at that time, there was pretty much nothing anyone could do to stop me doing what i had done. I made blades, self harming from stones in the Linden Centre garden. I took ligatures from Curtain Cords and so on. My brain was hell bent on succeeding. The doctor bluntly said there was nothing he could offer that would change it. It seemed i needed to get it out of my system to move forward. It sounds daft but back then i was not thinking straight, although i thought i was at the time. I felt normal and some days i wish i had succeeded to end the internal pain i am carrying around. Iam the internal pain i am carrying around. I am dealing with it as best ican and around. I am dealing with it as best i can and i would not condemn the Linden Centre or their staff. They have the hardest job Linden Centre or their staff. They have the hardestjob in the world and they never stopped trying to help me. If it was not for them i would not be here. After 10am, well talk to the daughter of a 76 year old grandmother who took her own life on day release from the centre. If youve been affected by any of the issues raised in that film you can find support and advice at the bbc action line bbc. Co. Uk actionline. And we have a statement from the Essex Partnership nhs trust. They told us the history of serious incidents of self harm at the Linden Centre is a matter of great concern that the trust has already recognised must be addressed. And that it had set aside significant funding so it was ready to take prompt actions following the results of an audit of risks of patients using ligatures to take their own lives. We will bring you the latest nose in a moment but still to come, once known as americas dad, bill cosby was considered a comedy legend. He returns to court today as selection begins forjurors who will decide whether or not he is guilty of Sexual Assault. And we will get reaction to those leaked internal documents used by facebook which appear to show that it has instructed its own moderators not to remove controversial content which many would find offensive.

Bill cosby will return to court today as selection begins for the jurors who will decide whether or not he is guilty of Sexual Assault. The 79 year old entertainer, who became known as americas dad throughout decades as a National Treasure is expected to attend every day ofJury Selection hearings at a court in pennsylvania. Bill cosby is a us comedian and actor once seen as the All American Dad for his portrayal of dr Cliff Huxtable in the hit sitcom the Cosby Show In The 80s and early 90s. Hell stand trial for a charge of three counts of indecent assault alleged by one woman, former colleague and basketball coach andrea constand. Its the only criminal case mr cosby faces related to Sexual Assault accusations dating back years. The point of this is that it was intoxicating to her and that she was unable to consent. Thats the crime. Thats the charges that were bound over, and we look forward to handling this in court. Over those years, nearly 60 women have come forward accusing mr cosby of Sexual Assault. His behaviour was like that of a predator. I woke up in the back of my car, alone. My clothes were a mess, my bra was undone. 35 of them told their stories to new york magazine. Cosby has always maintained the encounters were consensual. Ms constands case is the only one that has fallen within the time limit known as the Statute Of Limitations, a us law that shields people from prosecution after a certain time by imposing an expiry date for allegations of crimes. The Jury Selection begins today, as prosecutors say bill cosby drugged and molested ms constand at his home in cheltenham, pennsylvania, back in 200a. Judge Steven Oneill has said he plans to screen about 125jurors per day as the trial begins. The 79 year old denies the charges. Lili bernard alleges bill cosby drugged and raped her after she starred in the eighth and final series of the cosby show. She told me what her initial impressions of him where. Initially i felt that he was a brilliant mind who was instrumental in lifting the image of the black family. I believed he was a philanthropist. Later on i discovered that was a smoke screen to divert attention from his depravity and his criminality, but i was duped like the rest of the world. He was a whole somme person, that he was dr huxstable. He denies all charges. Insisting that all his encounters we re insisting that all his encounters were consensual and he and his family have suggested that some of the claims against him are down to racism . Would you like my comment on that . Yes, please. I have evidence to prove that my relationship with him was not romantic. That it was professional and paternal and purely platonic. That he was mentoring me from the prospective of a father figure, that he often told me that he loved me and cared for me as if i we re he loved me and cared for me as if i were one of his daughters. He often said to me, youre one of my kids. With regard to the bogus and despicable claim that he has been rationally targeted. On 2nd may 2015, it was the day after i first came public about the abuse i suffered at the hands of bill cosby andi suffered at the hands of bill cosby and i attended a protest protest near georgia where bill cosby gave his last performance and two weeks later bill cosby donates money to the Black Belt Fundation in alabama and he stages this mock march over the bridge and the bridge is a signifier of a very important historic moment in the civil rights struggle. I sent e mails and made lots of phone calls to the school which the black Belt Foundation was involved in because the black Belt Foundation is a Great Organisation that provides assistance to disadvantaged marginalised youth in alabama and i beconed them to please not allow the children, particularly the teenage girls to get near bill cosby because he is a dangerous, Sexual Predator and that i am a victim of his raping, drging and threats. I sent letters to the black Belt Foundation staff and board of directors, to the school and the principal and to the teachers and no one returned my e mails and my phone calls and there is Information Online where you can see that Entertainment Tonight did a report on it. So, to me, when bill cosby staged that march with those children two weeks after i came public about the abuse that i endured at his hands and i mentioned Martin Luther king that was a slap in my face. It is a spit in the face of all the other great civil rights activists who marched over that bridge in 1965 and. Sorry to interrupt, lili, he is saying the kind of accusations that you are making against him are simply because he is a black man . Right. So we have been also likened parallel by his attorneys and him to lynch mobs and when bill cosby calls us a mob, its den owe grating the souls of the real lynch victims. All it does is reveal his depravity that he would stoop so low to pimp the souls of rape victims in order to hide from, you know, to hide behind his, you know, criminality. Its disgusting. He denies all charges. You told people around you what you say happened to you back then. And you didnt go to the police until many years later. Right. Can you explain why that was . Because he threatened serious consequences to my life. When i approached him and confronted him about being drugged and raped by him, when i told him that i would call the police and go to the hospital and find out what he put in my drink, my sparkling apple cider he told me that the minute that i went to the police that he would go to the police stags after me and file a Police Report against me and file a Police Report against me forfalse me and file a Police Report against me for false accusation and then he would sue me for defamation and make sure that i would end up in prison for a long time and that he would ruin my career. He said he would tell all of hollywood that i was nothing but a slut and i was trying to sleep my way to the top and i was ano to sleep my way to the top and i was a no good actress and he said i better watch my back, all it takes was one phone call, thats why i didnt call the police because i feared for my life and i became suicidal and, but it doesnt take a threat such as the ones that bill cosby inflicted upon me, the serious threats to my life which i interpreted as Death Threats for aville to not talk about their rape or to report a rape and you have to could be tend with the reality that this invasion, this unwholly invasion can cause you your life because you can contract diseases, Sexually Transmitted Diseases like aids that could kill you, it can also determine whether or not youre going to become pregnant and you have to possibility of becoming pregnant with your perpetrators child or the devils child or you have to contend with the possibility of now having to face abortion or giving up this child for adoption. Its a life changing, highly traumatic crime that often goes unreported. Its not just traumatic crime that often goes unreported. Its notjust victims of be loved celebrities that typically dont report, but victims of people, Perpetrators Hom they trust, their uncles, their teachers, their boy scout leaders, their coaches, it is a common phenomenal that rape victims do not report crimes. A common phenomenal that rape victims do not report crimeslj understand victims do not report crimes. understand that you know of at least four other women who you say wont come forward. I know personally four other women who were also abused by bill cosby and three of them i knew while they were being abused by him and they will not come forward and i understand why they dont because it comes with grave consequences, you wish for retaliation for bill cosby by the women. He has sued several of the women. We are constantly, i and the women. We are constantly, i and the other survivors are constantly being blamed and shamed online. I received so many comments and m essa 9 es received so many comments and messages and e mails from adorning Die Hard Cosby fans who take every opportunity to attack me. So after i appear on your show for example i will receive a plethora of hate mail, but more importantly, is that i receive an abundance of supportive comments from people across the globe who are also survivors and who thank me for helping to empower them it speak out because through my example of speaking out against such a powerful perpetrator they felt empowered to file a Police Report against the priest who abused them when they were centre or against their uncle or against their teacher who impregnated them. Its worth it. You know, its worth receiving all the hate and the vitriol from these Die Hard Cosby fans and rape apologists in order to positively, you know, impact so many survivors. Again, just to say that bill cosby denies the charges against him. I know you havent been able to take your case to court because of a time limit. Whats known as the Statute Of Limitations, ie the time in which a case can be heard has run out. What do you think of that . Well, i have a Prepond Rans Of Hardcore evidence against bill cosby and i took this evidence with me along with Contact Information of several witnesses to the Atlantic City detectives on 30th april when i felt safe enough to report the crime because 46 other women had come public before me and therefore, i feared less that bill cosby would target me for retaliation. So empowered by these other 46 women and now there are 60 who have gone public i brought my evidence with me. I brought the Contact Information. I waited for the detectives and the prosecutors to contact my witnesses, they were not contacted and then i found out that the prosecutor in newjersey couldnt even consider prosecuting bill cosby. Couldnt consider pressing charges against bill cosby despite the evidence that i brought, the compelling evidence that i brought, despite my witness testimonies because the witness occurred a few months outside of the statute limitations. But i took advantage evidence, along with videotaped testimony, which included my agent, and the therapist whom i was assigned in 1992 when i came out of the hospital, having been admitted for suicide attempts. And i even put some Production Assistance from the cosby show in video stats, and i took this evidence with me this Video Testimonies of my witnesses to the legislative offices in sacramento, california, the senate and Council Officers and i showed them when we we re officers and i showed them when we were lobbying and campaigning, to abolish the Statute Of Limitations on Rape Prosecution in california, to show them the absolute travesty that a rape victim, no matter how much time has passed, can still have ha rd much time has passed, can still have hard evidence like me, because i am an archivist, and yet be barred by this arbitrary timeline from achieving justice. What we pointed out as part of our argument is that abolishing the Statute Of Limitations does not change the burden of proof. You still have to have, as a victim, you still have to have, as a victim, you still have to have enough evidence to prove your case beyond any reasonable doubt. So all this speaking out that i and the other 60 cosby survivors have done, evenif other 60 cosby survivors have done, even if it doesnt affect a positive result for us in the trial, even if bill cosby is found innocent, at the very least what we have done is that we have empowered other rape survivors, changing antiquated, patriarchal, misogynistic law. We will also eliminate the fact that the americanjustice will also eliminate the fact that the american Justice System is slanted towards protecting the perpetrator. The Jury Selection begins today. Were going to leave that they are. That was lily brainard. Coming up, the green party has accused the conservatives of launching a war on young people. Its unveiling its manifesto later. Well bring that to you live. Conservative plans to change how social care is funded in england could be derailed by councils, a former minister has warned. The party wants to include the value of someones home when deciding how much they must pay towards care at home but allow them to pay after they die. Our political guru norman smith is here. This hinges on whether councils allow people to defer their payments. Yes. Under the package of reforms unveiled by theresa may, she is saying that people ought to be able to meet their care costs by in effect using their home to pay for it but there are home not having to be sort of salt until after they have died. That would mean the local authority is basically having the wherewithal to put that sort of process in place, and all the research that has been done by the former Pensions Minister suggests that many local authorities need to get up to speed to implement those reforms. And that really is on top of what we have seen is a huge row over the reforms unveiled by mrs may, which many in her own party seemed to be deeply uncomfortable about. Certainly many in the charitable sector, pensions groups, they are deeply uneasy. And the reason is this. Everyone by and large has signed up to the idea of having a cap on the amount that people would have to pay for their ca re costs. Andrew people would have to pay for their care costs. Andrew dilnot was told to think what to do about the social ca re to think what to do about the Social Care Problem and is and serve was putting a cap on the amount that people have to pay, because at the moment you could keep paying Literally Hundreds Of Thousands of pounds. There was a broad political consensus, lets go for a cap of about £72,000 and after that the sta ple about £72,000 and after that the staple will step in. After that, theresa may has torn that up saying that we will not go for a cap but we will go for a floor. What that means is that £100,000 will be the new means is that £100,000 will be the new m ea ns test. Is that £100,000 will be the new means test. In other words if you have less than £100,000, you are fine, and the state will pay for you. However, if you have got more than £100,000, everything above that will have to be spent on social care until you are only left with £100,000. Why is there a row about this . Well, because for most homeowners, not massively wealthy homeowners, not massively wealthy homeowners, that means they will end up homeowners, that means they will end up paying for their care. How so . Well, if you think that the average house price is about £250,000, so not a massively extravagant house, thatis not a massively extravagant house, that is the average value. £250,000, you would have to spend £150,000 of the value of your house until you we re the value of your house until you were left with just £100,000, at that means test level. So the big row is the way middle class, better off families, homeowners, they would by and large been left picking up the tab themselves and poorer families, yes, they will receive some protection because the means test has been raised to £100,000, but the other thing about it is that this tends to penalised people suffering from one particular illness, predominantly dementia, because if you suffer from cancer or other conditions like that, the nhs will pile in and look after you. If you suffer from Mental Health problems, and you have a house, you are problems, and you have a house, you a re pretty problems, and you have a house, you are pretty much on your own. It is hugely controversial. Talking to those around mrs may this morning, they are adamant that they will not back off and the policy will stay. There will be consultation to look of minor tweaks but they are determined not to rethink the fundamentals of this policy. Thank you very much, noren. Normanton. Well we did ask the conservatives to take part in a discussion but they havent been able to. But they released a Statement Saying our plan strengthens the social care system with more and sustainable funding to cope with these long term pressures and ensures nobody has to sell their home to pay for their care. Not to Act Orjust To Play Politics with the issue is irresponsible. Instead, we have chosen to act in the national interest. Lets talk to Catherine West from labour. And norman lamb is the Lib Dems Health spokesman and our political guru norman smith is in westminster. The issue today hinges on whether councils will allow people to defer their payments. According to the Freedom Of Information Requests, some councils in england have not signed any agreements to allow people to do that and in some other areas, more than 100 have been signed. It is a real patchwork and thatis signed. It is a real patchwork and that is part of the problem. Since 2010, local authorities have not really been equipped to design a system which works. So we have a postcode lottery. That is why we read like to see it much there in the taxpayer system, in the same way that nhs services are paid for, so that nhs services are paid for, so that people with long term conditions do not have to suffer disproportionately compared to people with other illnesses. Norman lamont, why should people not paid for their own pay costs when they have assets like houses. Norman lamb. Well, i think that what Andrew Dilnot said was that this was a market failure. In every aspect of out market failure. In every aspect of our lives, we are able to protect ourselves against catastrophic loss but here, were not. The great value of the cap on care clause, which i took through parliament, and i did It Withjeremy took through parliament, and i did it with jeremy hunt, took through parliament, and i did It Withjeremy hunt, but took through parliament, and i did it with jeremy hunt, but they have now abandoned it. The value of the cap on care costs was now abandoned it. The value of the cap on care costs was that everyone was protected against catastrophic loss. That has now been abandoned by the conservatives and all those people who are Receiving Care at home, very many of them who are currently receiving it for free or ata currently receiving it for free or at a low cost, they now face charges of £15,000 a year, typically, if you have complex fees, it could be way higher than that. The great unfairness is that if you are a millionaire with cancer, you will get all of your health costs paid for through the nhs, get all of your health costs paid forthrough the nhs, but get all of your health costs paid for through the nhs, but if you are someone for through the nhs, but if you are someone with dementia, perhaps in a small semi, you lose everything you have got. You do not lose everything at all. Your assets, £100,000 will be protected. You can pass that on to your beneficiaries. But here is a thing. Is it really protected . Because they have answered no questions and it is extraordinary that they have not come on to debate this this morning. They have said nothing about whether the hundred thousand pounds will have to be used to pay for ongoing Accommodation Costs. That was not included in the cap. So you could end up paying loads more money, you could pay Interest Charges on the loan that you have ta ken Interest Charges on the loan that you have taken out to cover these costs. And so i have no belief at all but £100,000 will actually be genuinely protected. 0k, well that is what they say, they say assets of £100,000 and under will be protected. Well, that is care costs but what about the Accommodation Costs and other costs . If anybody wants to challenge this can sign anybody wants to challenge this can sign up to our website to end this outrageous tax. Catherine west, what the conservatives say is that this is finally a sustainable solution. They have tackled a really, really difficult issue which successive governments have ducked, effectively and finally they have come up with a solution. Its true that the tory spokesman yesterday on the bbc said yesterday that he thought £100,000 was about right. If you have four or five children, that is about right but is it really in the governments remit to be saying what people should inherit or not . That is not a tory idea. It is odd for him to be Laying Down The Law as to what people can and cannot inherit. I think this tax is very damaging and it takes away the sense that we all contribute as well because we do not know who will get dementia, who will have a long term Mental Health problem. I think part of the problem is that when norman lamb was in government they cut about £4 billion from the purse, from social care, so thatis from the purse, from social care, so that is why we have this crisis now. Had we continued to fund that properly, we would not be in this mess. Do you accept that the lib dems are partially responsible for taking out £4. 6 billion from social ca re taking out £4. 6 billion from social care from 2010 onwards . In 2010 we we re care from 2010 onwards . In 2010 we were faced by a deficit of £160 billion a year and if you carry on without addressing that, it is always the most Vulnerable People in society who will suffer the most. But it was the lib dems who negotiated to introduce the cap on ca re negotiated to introduce the cap on care costs, to protect people against catastrophic loss. That has now been abandoned. It is the lib dems who are now saying that £6 billion extra for the nhs and care, through a penny on tax. You cannot haveit through a penny on tax. You cannot have it both ways as a liberal democrat, be honest. have it both ways as a liberal democrat, be honest. I have been straightforward. We went through tight Budget Settlements in those first few years to get the Budget Deficit sorted out. But now it is absolutely clear that the nhs is on its knees. That is why we are seeing an extra penny on income tax for the nhs and the care system, but we are also seeing implement the cap on ca re also seeing implement the cap on care costs. We did what we were advised to do by Andrew Dilnot and now the conservatives have abandoned it. Theresa may is due to come to norfolk soon. I challenge her to meet with me, to debate these issues and to answer key questions that affect very many older people who now face substantial costs. Thank you very much. Norman lamb, Catherine West, thank you. I know that andrew neale is due to interview the Prime Minister this week and no doubt he will ask about that. We asked the conservatives to ta ke that. We asked the conservatives to take part in our conversation this morning but they said they were not able to. They released a Statement Saying they have chosen to act in the national interest.

The insurer royal london said responses from 140 authorities to a Freedom Of Information Request showed that in some places people appeared not to be aware they could postpone paying for residential care. 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.

Heres some sport now with holly. Arsene wenger says his love for arsenal cannot be questioned after they failed to finish in the top four for the first time in 20 years. They finished fifth despite beating everton 3 1 yesterday. Wenger once again refused to comment on his future after the match, although he did admit that the constant speculation has affected the team. We had a spell during the season where it was very difficult. My personal situation had certainly an influence at some stage on the group as well and we played in a very hostile environment through the second part of the season and that didnt help and overall i believe that the players came back in a very strong togetherness. Liverpool held on to fourth place, thanks to a 3 0 win over middlesbrough, so theyll go into Champions League qualifying at the start of next season. We fought for each yard the whole season. Im really happy about this. I thought thats a sign. We should have given all our supporters a round and what a wonderful day for us. A lot of discussion around this this morning. It was always going to be an Emotionalfarewell Forjohn Terry yesterday his final game for chelsea but in reality it all became rather theatrical. The game was halted in the 26th minute terrys shirt number in case you were wondering as he was substituted. But as he left the pitch, he was given a guard of honour. Afterwards, he admitted, it was all his idea. Incredible for the players to do that. Ive got the relationship with the manager to be able to kind of have them discussions anyway and to go out on 26th minute of my shirt number, to leave the way im leaving. If ever there was a case to be leaving, this is the way. Celtic are the first side in more than a century to go an entire season without losing a game in the scottish top flight.

It follows fresh investigations into the death of matthew leahy, who was found hanged at Linden Centre in 2012. His mother, melanie leahy, said her talks with essex police suggested the cases had taken place in the last 17 years. Our reporter simon cox has been investigating. We played you his full report earlier, heres a short extract. Sweet, kind, mischievous. Little rascal at times. My entire world. Matthew leahy, a bright, sporty student. In his teens, he began Smoking Cannabis and having hallucinations. By 2012, his Mental Health had spiralled. Matthew was a patient at the Linden Centre, run by the north Essex Partnership trust. A week after being admitted, the centre phoned his mum. And the doctor. Just said, er. Matthews been found hanging, it doesnt look good. I couldnt breathe, ifell to the floor on my knees. Just 20 when he died, at his inquest the jury recorded an open verdict. Each patient supposedly has a care plan, and it came to light that matthew had no care plan, he had no key worker, no one knew, for two days there wasnt even any observation sheets, so where was he . The Police Report says, matthew was taken to a place of safety. It was the most unsafe place he could have been. I remember him texting me, mum, please let me come home, im in hell here. The inquestjury said matthew had been subjected to a series of multiple failings and missed opportunities over a long period of time. After the inquest, the coroner suggested that the trust told a Public Inquiry into matthews death, but they said it would be too expensive and it would take money away from frontline services. Weve learned essex police have launched an investigation into deaths at the Linden Centre going back to the year 2000. Now, the police wont say exactly how many cases theyre looking at, but one source has told us that it could be as many as 20 deaths being investigated. The trust said it was improving systems to ensure investigations are carried out rigorously and thoroughly, and that learning shared across the entire organisation. They are also undertaking a full ligature ordered, they are also undertaking a full ligature audit, removing items that could be used by patients to take their own lives. Thats what melanie leahys trying to ensure, by supporting other families going through the same trauma she faced. At the coroners court, shes meeting another member of the club, lisa morris, whose son ben hung himself in the Linden Centre in 2008. I do believe bens death is one of the 20 odd that they are looking into, and that makes me angry as well. Since 2000, bens death, thats 17 years ago. 17 years. Why have they left it 17 years . Can the Police Inquiries into deaths at the Linden Centre restore trust for the grieving families, whose relatives died in the place they were supposed to be safe . Essex Partnership University Nhs Foundation trust which was the north Essex Partnership nhs trust at the time of the deaths told us, the history of serious incidents of self harm at the Linden Centre is a matter of great concern that the trust has already recognised must be addressed and that it had set aside significant funding so it was ready to take prompt actions following the results of an audit of risks of patients using ligatures to take their own lives. We can talk now to sofia dimoglou. Her mum valerie took her own life in october 2015 while on day release from a different hospital run by what was then the north Essex Partnership trust. Deborah coles is from the Charity Inquest which contributed to a Care Quality Commission enquiry into Hospital Deaths at the end of last year. And sean duggan is the Chief Executive Officer of the Mental Health network which represents nhs trusts. Tanya has joined us Tanya Hasjoined us too. It is not her real name. She is a former nurse who worked at the Linden Centre. Ta nya, who worked at the Linden Centre. Tanya, thank you very much for getting in touch with us. Tell us your own experience. getting in touch with us. Tell us your own experience. Ijust getting in touch with us. Tell us your own experience. I just want to say firstly this doesnt relate to all psychiatric nurses across the area. We have a really, really hard job. My experience dates back to when the Linden Centre first opened andi when the Linden Centre first opened and i worked there. I pointed out on various occasions that there are many flaws where people could self harm. In fact, many flaws where people could self harm. Infact, i now many flaws where people could self harm. In fact, i now suffer from post traumatic distress after a violent incident after discovering someone violent incident after discovering someone who had died and i have not worked since and i have been ill myself. I had no support in the day we had a debriefing after the incident. A consultant said, as long as we dont. Inaudible sorry, i didnt hear the last sentence. As long as we have no more than three deaths we have met our quota. As long as it had no more than three deaths a year . Yes. And im waiting to go to the doctor now. I have only come out of hospital myself recently again after trying to ta ke myself recently again after trying to take my own life, but because i was in hospital, it reminded, the smells remachineded me of the Linden Centre that it wasnt doing me any favours in there. Tanya, thank you very much. Thank you for getting in touch. Not all nurse are bad though. No. No. No. Oh my gosh, absolutely. That goes without saying. Thank you very much, tanya. Essex Partnership University Nhs Foundation trust which was the north Essex Partnership nhs trust at the time of the deaths told us, the history of serious incidents of self harm at the Linden Centre is a matter of great concern that the trust has already recognised must be addressed. President trump has landed in israel and we may interrupt our conversation to show you live pictures. s depression. It got worse in about 2013. Tell us about your mothers depression. It had been ongoing and never diagnosed about exactly what it was. But it was a recurrent depressive disorder, definitely. And she did Attempt Suicide in 2013. She was a hospital until 2015, when she did commit suicide. On day release. And trust have investigated the circumstances. Have you had the outcome of that report yet . There was one serious Incident Report that was one serious Incident Report that was found to be inadequate, which cost us a lot of stress and went on for a long time. It was not really independent. That was investigated by verita and was found to be not adequate for purpose. That impeded on the inquest because we had no Incident Reports to take to the inquest, so there were problems there. They were just going to leave it at that and say they had learnt lessons but we insisted they redo the inquest, the serious Incident Report, to make sure it was done properly, to make sure they could actually do it. We are still waiting and we have just actually been put back again on it, so we wrote a big complaint, which now hopefully we will meet someone higher up in the trusts to see why they cannot even doa trusts to see why they cannot even do a serious Incident Report. And deborah, how shocking is it that this number of people have been able to ta ke this number of people have been able to take their own life at a particular centre run by one Mental Health trust . I think the family summed it up. You expect to go into a Mental Health setting and be safe. For repeated deaths to happen under similar circumstances, to me that highlights the fundamental problems with the way in which these deaths are investigated. The fact that they are investigated. The fact that they are not independently investigated, that families are very often not involved, but importantly it shows a shocking lack of learning and accountability, and a failure of governance and leadership. And that, i think, also begs questions about the regulator, the Care Quality Commission. Bipin for various recommendations for this particular trust to improve. They did, but you have to monitor and ensure that those recommendations have been commented. I think that is the biggest frustration and distress for the families, to know that they have suffered a death and they hoped action would be taken to prevent similar deaths, only to find out that another person has died in almost identical circumstances. There are questions across the nhs, and for the cqc, as to how the situation at this hospital was able to happen. Sean dodd, what is the situation with staffing at these Mental Health units . They have a lot of staff, and many hospitals have the required amount of nurses and hospital doctors. But in other parts, theyre finding it difficult to recruit. Staffing is a difficult issue for many services. And some are understaffed. Some are using more agencies and we would like in the balance between that is important. If you have permanent staff, but now the patients, that is something we would strive for, but i would like to say little bit about the Mental Health context because i think it is important to set the scene think it is important to set the scene on think it is important to set the scene on how we resolve things moving forward. It has been known for decades that Mental Health has been an underinvested part of the health in total. And that successive governments, three years ago there was an independent task force around Mental Health, that was supposed to look at issues like this, preventing suicide, Better Health care for children, and that came up with a five year plan. We are to make years into that and there has been some difficulty in getting the money into nhs trusts. But it is now starting to come through. For the next government, it is absolutely essential that that is committed to. And the investment needs to go through because it is linked directly with workforce. There is a lack of money, of course, which makes it more difficult to get the workforce right. This is not going to bea workforce right. This is not going to be a reassurance to sofia and i am sorry about that but that is the context of Mental Health. Let me read an e mail from context of Mental Health. Let me read an e mailfrom cassie. She says i spent a brief amount of time in the Linden Centre four years ago and they saved my life. I cannot fault they saved my life. I cannot fault the environment. I feel sad for the families who have lost loved ones, and ogle the centre should be a safe place, it will not stop someone determined to end their life. They will do anything they can. And although the centre. Sandra says, my son was admitted to the Linden Centre on many occasions over the last ten years. My son was left unattended and the staff were disengaged. He was at high risk. The patients also had to sleep on the floor under were not enough beds. Aaron us as well. Good morning. You are at the Linden Centre three times. Tell us about the care that you received. I cannot praise them enough. It is an extremely difficult job for them to do. Because when you are hell bent on trying to commit suicide, nothing will stop you. It is really, really horrible. It is not a nice place to be, and the staff themselves were lovely. But like i say, you cannot get into the brain of the person who is trying to do It Tojust Brain of the person who is trying to do it to just give them instructions to stop. It took me out of normal life. And it does calm me down a lot, but you cannot live there forever. Sure, but do you feel that if it was not for the way you were cared for at the Linden Centre, you perhaps would not be here now . Thats right. I would say that without their help i most probably would not be here. Thank you very much for getting in touch. I have one more message here from alice. Depression and suicidal behaviour areafar depression and suicidal behaviour are a far bigger issue than society would like to admit. The blame falls on caregivers and failing institutions with a real conversation is being ignored. Treatments are ineffective and often the side effects outweigh the benefits. Psychological intervention is not accessible enough and is not offered and young enough ages. We need to take a long, hard look at how we treat this type of illness because the numbers keep rising and resources a re because the numbers keep rising and resources are becoming more scarce. Becky very much, all of you. Im sorry, did you want to Say Something . I would like to say that there is this myth that people cannot be stopped from committing suicide. That is the problem. Years ago, there used to be a silence that we re ago, there used to be a silence that were places of safety, and they would have long term care. Nowadays, there is no long term care. And also, people are left. My mother was also, people are left. My mother was a voluntary patient and although there have been things with law, and nobody is protecting the voluntary patient. They can come and go with impunity, which is what happened with my mother. Although some of the staff are brilliant and some lives are saved, there is definitely more that can be done. And in history, we look back and say, what was going on, why were so many people dying he did not have to die in this time. Thank you all of you for coming on the programme. The deadline to register to vote closes at midnight tonight with fresh warnings that young people wont be properly represented when the uk goes to the polls because not enough have either register or say theyre even going to vote. Radio1 newsbeats politics editor Jonathan Blake is here. Actually. In your opinion, how do you think brexit will affect you and other young people in the next ten yea rs . Other young people in the next ten years . There is plenty of passion for politics here in cardiff. In exchange for free coffee, these young voters are talking about the issues most important to them. Democracy cafe events have been held around the uk as a way of encouraging younger people to register to vote. I think the main reason young people do not vote is because they feel as though they do not know enough or they feel as though they have not had enough Life Experience to merit being able to vote. We are easy to leave out. We are easy to let down because we do not kick up a fuss. We should be let down if we are not on the register because lets be honest, why would they allow us to have those if we do not register . A lot of people in brexit, they surround themselves with group of friends who were all remainders or were all going to leave. Everybody was surprised by the result. We are keeping in our own safe spaces, and we are not challenging each other. But for a lot of young people politics is still a no go zone. This drum and bass group, currently working on a new album, are taking time out to encourage younger people to register to vote, hoping that music will help them get the message. When i was young i did not feel like we could do much. I did not feel like i had much control to change anything because so many people are voting, andi because so many people are voting, and i think it is important for me to educate myself, and work out what options i had. That took a while and idid not options i had. That took a while and i did not really thought until i was 26. I never voted myself and this is the first time i will be voting. I think if we can show our fans, the people that follow us, that it is actually, you can make a difference. I was really inspired and i think it is important to at least look at what is out there. Politics is so important, it seems like such a horrible word, but what it means is our everyday lives, it is the way our everyday lives, it is the way our lives are going to be governed, the way were to live. So to vote, to use your vote, to register to vote is everyday life. Rage is key to rap. You have to understand that. You have that fire in your belly. Brown often talks politics on stage and tries in his music to reflect real life. Doc brown. He is trying to use his voice to encourage people to vote. It is something close to my heart and i feel like kids and people in their late teens and early 205, these are the Fre5he5t Voice5 and early 205, these are the fre5he5t voices in the country. The5e fre5he5t voices in the country. These are people that might actually have some good ideas on where we go next. Regardle55 have some good ideas on where we go next. Regardless of what government it is, labour, conservative, ukip, whoever run5 it is, labour, conservative, ukip, whoever runs the country, we are inevitably ruled by people in the latter stages of their life. No di5re5pect latter stages of their life. No disrespect to people of that age, but they do things in a certain way. And it would be quite interesting to 5ee and it would be quite interesting to see what people under 25 want to say and want to do, and how they view our country, how they view our future, because they are the future. This site, itsjob is future, because they are the future. This site, its job is to give you an overview of what the options are in the election. Technology is playing a part in making some people up in some people make up their mind. This site is one of many helping voters to cut through the noise and find out how effective they are thought to be. In this instance a nurse and has entered their vote and they want to go for a hard brexit. This is compiling a number of pieces of information, matching your view, looking at the chances of success and weighing up what could or could not happen, and giving you a total score. If you want to cast a vote on june eight, there is a good chance that you would achieve what it is you wanted to do. The parties epitope manifestos telling us what they will do in government and people can read those, but it seems like you have found a gap, which is cutting through all that information, those promises, and people need that and want it, it seems. This is commonly known as voter advice applications or vaas, but they are not new. They have been around since the 1980s but we think they have come into the fourth front because we can do this faster, or previously we would have needed a massive team of researchers to do this. They have come into the forefront. This election is, as a shock and many are hoping that the number of voters taking part will also be a surprise. How many adults bother to vote . Not many. In the last election in 2015, we concede that among 18 24 year olds, 43 of people turned out to vote. If you compare that with pensioners, 78 over 65s. The overall turnout, 66 . Young people voting with below the average numbers. In terms of those registering, which will give us an indication of how many might vote this time around, since the election was called, 2 Million People in total, roughly, have registered to vote and around 600,000 under 25 is. We would expect a larger proportion of those registered to be younger because they have turned 18, perhaps they have moved away to university or back home. But the Electoral Commission estimates that there are 7 Million People in total who are not registered so that deadline is coming tonight. There may well be a last minute rush. Coming tonight. There may well be a lastminute rush. 7 Million People will not register by midnight. They might struggle. We might see problems with the website to that happens. But we have seen a spiked because they by Dave The Government has been updating the figures online for the number of people registering. If we look at this snapshot from yesterday, we can see a big spike. 90,000 people under 25 registering to vote yesterday alone. So as the midnight deadline approaches, we will probably see that rising higher. The First Past The Post System is one reason why people often say, there is no point because marvel does not count. Explain what the First Past The Post System is and why it affects voter numbers. The system is what we have in this country, or by one party has to get past more than half the seats of parliament to form a government. As soon as they have done that, they are in charge. What we hearfrom you people talking about politics is just that. Im not going to vote because it will make no difference. If you live in an area which is a safe conservative seat or a safe labour seat, you might think that you like what the greens or ukip as to say it one of the smaller parties, and your vote may not make a difference because it might make a dent in the majority but it will not be reflected nationally. Obviously arguments for the First Past The Post System say that it helps us with Directorate Hesitation in each constituency across the uk. That is one thing that comes up time and time again. If we look at the split from the last General Election in 2015, you can see why the parties argue differently on this because in terms of conservative support, it is by far terms of conservative support, it is byfarand terms of conservative support, it is by far and away from older voters over 65. Almost half. And it has almost flipped between Younger Voters under 25, almost half to four labour. And a good deal more support for the smaller parties. How younger people being encouraged to register to vote this time . There is less time it get younger people engage and get them to register to vote. We have seen several campaigns online, Takeover Of Twitter and facebook and instagram if you have tried to post a selfie you might have noticed a special filter coming a selfie you might have noticed a specialfilter coming in a selfie you might have noticed a special filter coming in encouraging you to register to vote and ways online of trying to engage young people through the issues rather than the parties because thats the way than more than likely they will get encouraged to be involved in politics and to actually be motivated to vote. And youre taking pa rt motivated to vote. And youre taking part in the Newsbeat Vote . Yes, we will be in manchester on 6thjune with an audience of 120 young people, representatives from the seven major parties and we will be live on the bbc one after the news that night. President trump has arrived in israel. He is due to meet israeli and palestinian leaders and visit a until of holy sites. Lets watch some of it with our correspondent who is there for bbc world. Israelis are going to markjerusalem day. Thats the day when they celebrate the anniversary of the reunification of jerusalem celebrate the anniversary of the Reunification Ofjerusalem as they see it when it was captured in the 1967 middle east war. This year, because it is the 50th anniversary, mrtrump will because it is the 50th anniversary, mr trump will see from his hotel in jerusalem that there are celebrations taking place with a nightly light show for example. So it will be hard for him to miss that and hard for him to miss the significance of that, but the indications are from officials at the moment on the american side that there will not be the embassy move at this time. We have been closely following, of course. We have got the live pictures. We are watching closely. I wonder if we can keep you with us for a moment what the reaction was in israel to President Trumps visit to saudi, particularly the comments he made, the criticism that he made of iran yesterday . Well, of course, israel sees iran as being its enemy. It is extremely worried about its Nuclear Programme although there was concern among israeli politicians about the arms deals that President Trump was signing with saudi arabia, at the same time, there was some acceptance that this could be something thats important to israel as well. I think thats something that President Trump will be trying to stress on this trip, but there are Common Security concerns between the sunni arab countries in the gulf and also between israel. Hes trying to already achieve some kind of thawing in the diplomatic freeze that there has been between them. They have never recognised the arab countries apart from jordan and egypt, the existence of israel as a state. So, if he can achieve something in terms of finding Common Ground between them that will be very important. Already, there are some suggestions that security, intelligence is shared when it comes to iran for example. Thats something President Trump is really going to be building on as he continues the political meetings. I should on as he continues the political meetings. Ishould mention on as he continues the political meetings. I should mention too that the palestinian president was among those leaders who were in riyadh. Thats been cited as another reason why his trip to bethlehem and to the west ba n k why his trip to bethlehem and to the west bank will just why his trip to bethlehem and to the West Bank Willjust be a very short one. Of course, Mahmoud Abbas was at the white house earlier this mon. So lots has been going on behind the scenes in advance of this visit to ease things now and we should get a much clearer idea of the shape of us policy towards this part of the middle east. Absolutely, were just seeing the red carpet and we can see the Prime Minister and his wife sarah and the president there too waiting for mr trump. But mrtrump president there too waiting for mr trump. But mr trump has a large team with him including his incredibly influential son in law. What kind of views does he have on the middle east Peace Process and how could they influence his father in law . Well, his son in law is senior advisor. He is here with his wife ivanka trump. His family is said to have had close relations with the family. His family as well as the family. His family as well as the family of the new Us Ambassador to israel appointed by mr trump, family of the new Us Ambassador to israelappointed by mrtrump, his former lawyer, well, they have close associations actually with solicitor of the settlements. In particular, one which is close to ra mullah in the west bank. So that caused a lot of concern also about what this new administrations policy could be when it comes to settlements and early on, not long after mr Trump Took Office we saw thousands of homes being announced in the west bank and eastjerusalem by the israelis. That continued until we had that visit of netanyahu at the white house. Thats when mr trump said he wanted mr netanyahu to hold back a little as he tried to revive peace efforts. It is interesting to see the involvement and one of mr trumps aides. He has been here in advance of the visit trying to set up the political meetings that will take place and go through many of the details. He has been in the region. It was at the arab summit when i was there a few weeks ago in jordan at the dead sea, having private meetings with the different arab leaders. So this all gives you a sense of how much this new administration is prioritising this long standing middle east conflict as something that it wants to address, even though, of course, there are many other problems in this region that the us has to address as well and of course, despite President Trumps considerable domestic difficulties too. It is a longstanding commitment by the us towards israel support. Can you tell our viewers about that relationship, aboutjust can you tell our viewers about that relationship, about just how can you tell our viewers about that relationship, aboutjust how much the us supports israel militarily. There is huge support despite the strange relations between mr netanyahu strange relations between mr neta nyahu and the strange relations between mr netanyahu and the previous president , barack obama, it was announced during his time in office, announced during his time in office, a deal that gives 38 billion to israel over the course of a decade in terms of military aid. So that military. Studio were going to leave that. Clearly, we were waiting for President Trump to walk down the steps on to the red carpet, but were leaving that because the green party are launching their manifesto this morning. Here is the co leader. A future that we can all be proud of. Confident because were creating a resilient and diverse and People Powered economy that allows us to live larger lives and cope with the challenges ahead. Caring because were redefining the welfare state. Striving to end inequality and committed to redistricting both wealth and power. We have the fifth largest economy in the world. In such a country no renter should have to live in damp, cold or neglected accommodation. No parent should have to compete with other parents to find their child a decent school. No one should have to wait ten hours in an emergency ward before getting the ca re an emergency ward before getting the care and attention they need. When i go to my Childrens School i walk in to the foyer and im presented with a huge board right in the middle of the school. Everyone sees it when they come in and on that board are three circles. In those circles is every picture of every child in the school with their name underneath and those children that have made three levels of progress are there in the centre, thats where two of my children are. Those children that have made no progress are pictured on the outside of those circles. Stigmatised for everyone to see. None of my children want that. None of the teachers in their heart of hearts wa nt of the teachers in their heart of hearts want that. They want an Education System that works for everyone. I go to a hospital, as i did last year, and i go with my son asa did last year, and i go with my son as a regular user, i dont want to have to have my hospital appointment cancelled three times, my operation cancelled three times, my operation cancelled three times for my son. Its not fair on him. Its not fair on the others. When i go to a basic hospital appointment i dont want to wa nt to hospital appointment i dont want to want to wait two hours only for that appointment to be cancelled. We can have a different future. One where we all have the security and the choices we deserve. For a basic income which allows us to fulfil our potential and yes, lets say it, our dreams. No one should tell you that your voice doesnt matter. But when it comes to the biggest decision this country has faced in generations, you will not get a say on whether having seen what life outside the eu will look like we should choose that future or choose to remain. The media, with respect, and the old parties, will tell you that there are only two options on the ballot paper at they election. Its not true. That is a disservice to our democracy. If you believe in a welcoming britain, a country of compassion, a fair economy where those with the most contribute more, the protection of our countryside, a nation confident enough to build bridges, not walls, then you have a choice. If you believe things can change for the better and that the next generation must be defined by fairness, not foodbanks, then we will give you that choice. If you believe that our future will be defined not by the size of our nuclear arsenal, but by harnessing the enormous potential of the people who live right here in this country, thenjoin us who live right here in this country, then join us and stand who live right here in this country, thenjoin us and stand up for who live right here in this country, then join us and stand up for what really matters. And on 8thjune, choose a positive future and vote green for a confident and caring britain. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, jonathan. Im very, very proud to introduce caroline luca5. She5 defending to be re elected a5 mp for brighton pavilion for the second time and she just gets more and more popular as far as i can tell. Thank you very much, sian. Thank you to everyone for being here. Im delighted to be with jonathan and launching this wonderful green guarantee and first of all i want to thank yra. They have been getting behind bold, creative new ideas and shaping the future through brave leadership and by being here today were choosing a future of opportunities for pioneers and inowe vai fors like them. Innovators. We are here choosing a new type of economy that meets peoples needs and makes sure we protect the environment. A confident and caring britain that reaches for and caring britain that reaches for a bigger future that we can be proud of. The green guarantee is about hope and we need hope now like never before. I cant remember a time in my own lifetime where the future has felt more uncertain with brexit, with accelerating climate change, with accelerating climate change, with an nhs in crisis. We face challenges that we cant possibly pretend to fix in the next 100 days or the next 1,000. Threats to our economic future, threats to our security, threats to our planet. But ours isa security, threats to our planet. But ours is a message security, threats to our planet. But ours is a message of hope because we believe that if we stand together for what matters, we can change the course of historiment we can meet these enormous challenges. So while other parties ignore the environment, the greens will protect it. We will continue to set the agenda with bold policies to transform peoples lives, with things like a pilot for a basic income scheme and a shorter working weekment well protect the nhs. Well properly fund it, yes, but crucially, well also take the private sector out of it. Well repeal the health and social care act and replace it with the nhs eninstatement act, thats a bill i have had the pleasure of promoting to parliament a couple of times. Well proudly stand up for Free Movement and well give the british people an explicit option to remain pa rt of people an explicit option to remain part of the eu as part of a ratification referendum on the brexit deal. Let me say a few more words about brexit, this huge challenge that is facing us. This huge challenge that is facing us. And in our view, this huge challenge that is facing us. And in ourview, this this huge challenge that is facing us. And in our view, this huge threat facing us in terms of the extreme brexit which theresa may is pressuring. Let me make this plane, she has no mandate for the type of brexit shias pursue in, out of the customs union, leaving key environmental protections behind, leaving the Free Movement. That was not on the ballot paper. Yes, there was a vote to leave but it is not clear what that leave looks like in practice, which is why we say it is right for the British Public to have a vote to leave but it is not clear what that leave looks like in practice, which is why we say it is right for the British Public to have the final say on the deal, not just mp5, as theresa may would have it. It was the british people that started this process and we should be able to look at the small print of the final deal, and if we like it, fine. But if they do not, then they should have, we should have the right to remain inside the eu. And thatis right to remain inside the eu. And that is what the green party is offering. We are also saying to eu nationals who have made their lives here in good faith, that of course your future here should be guaranteed immediately and now, not using them cynically as bargaining chips, as theresa may is doing. And we are the one party that is proud to stand up for the wonderful gift thatis to stand up for the wonderful gift that is Free Movement. It is an extraordinary and precious gift to be able to work on travel and live and learn and love in 27 other member states. I want my kids to benefit from that and i want everyones kids to benefit from that. I want to broaden that out so everyone can benefit. And i feel that in particular it is young people who have been betrayed by this brexit vote because we know the majority of young people want to stay in side the eu. And in our guarantee today we are talking particularly to young people. Were making a pitch to them saying not just that we think they have been betrayed by the decision on this extreme brexit, but also they are being burdened by debt. That is why we would scrap tuition fees and we are delighted labour have caught up with us on that one. It is also why we want to see a genuinely affordable housing, including rent caps and longer tenancies. We are setting up our Living Rent Commission to figure out what would bea commission to figure out what would be a reasonable rent, given the cost of living in different areas, rather than making it clear that young people will never be able to save up enough for any kind of deposit because theyre possibly paying rent over the odds. But also one of the biggest ways we are letting down young people is on the environment. Last year was the hottest year on record. The 2016 state of nature report said that 60 of species in the uk are in long term decline and 1596 the uk are in long term decline and 15 and risk of disappearing from our assurers altogether. We launched an environment manifesto specifically last month and in that we pledged a new Environment Protection act which would safeguard and enhance the environment upon which we depend for literally everything. It sets out our approach to keep threats like air pollution in check. It is a Public Health emergency links to the premature deaths of 40,000 in this country and yet it hardly even made it into the tory manifesto. It sets out the kind of policies we have around investment in renewables, and energy efficiency, keeping fossil fuels in the ground. But crucially it sets out how we would protect that body of eu law that currently protects the environment and which we need to have safeguarded and enhanced in a post brexit world. We are talking about making sure that that legislation is not from the eu to the uk statute books but that it is properly enforceable. We need the legal architecture there to make sure that in the absence of a European Commission or the European Court ofjustice, we can enforce that law. So brexit, the environment, the nhs in crisis, we face huge challenges but i am proud that the green party is at least beginning to ask those questions and get some of the answers as well. We wa nt get some of the answers as well. We want to have a debate with you about the kind of answers to these questions that we face today. This election is about what kind of future we want for our children. It is about protecting our values of openness and compassion, of cooperation. It is about our promise that a competent and caring future is possible, if we work together, if we do politics differently, and if we do politics differently, and if we dare to be more ambitious. So the guarantee says that we are ready and we hope you willjoin us by putting green onjune we hope you willjoin us by putting green on june the we hope you willjoin us by putting green onjune the 8th. We hope you willjoin us by putting green on june the 8th. Applause. Caroline lucas will be taking part ina carshare Caroline Lucas will be taking part in a car share later in this programme this week. Drake toppled adeles record for the most prizes in a single night at the Billboard Music awards with a total of 13 awards. There is a fantastic photograph of him with all of the awards and it looks like he has photoshopped them, thatis looks like he has photoshopped them, that is how ridiculous this is. A few years ago, adele got 12 but now he walks away with 22 nominations, going into this, and he seemed very humbled, as well. We have a clip of him coming up. His head down, he cannot believe it. And then nicky minaya, there was a bit of beef between them in the past, template. He name checked from the stage. Not many winners apart from them. Beyonce won a few, the female categories, and 21 pilots in the rock categories. And to be met, she had her 71st birthday on saturday, and her court was, i was 71 yesterday and i can do a five minute plank, just saying. How brilliant is that do we have a clip of drake . I have my whole family appear, look at my dad looking sharp. I have got the man that is responsible for me being here. I have a lot of my life up here, too. And ijust want to say the mottled tight, adele, because when the new thing drops, you will come back to take your record back. Not a good night for a british artists. Yes, you tend to see year on year that one artist dominates. But as far as the big prizes, all americans, although ed sheeran performed. Internal documents used by facebook, who trained staff to moderate internal content appears to show that the engine giant is in some places tolera nt of engine giant is in some places tolerant of violent threats, forms of bullying and live videos of self harm. The information matters because a quarter of the worlds population uses facebook, which seems astonishing. Lets speak to rory cellan jones. And doctor rachel oconnell, an internet safety expert. And a former child safety operatorfor expert. And a former child safety operator for social networking site, bebo. Rory, dockers through what has been leaked on what we have learned from these documents. Well, what has been leaked is the internal training documents that are given to these moderators. They are often freelancers, outsourced to different companies, and they are given this course. What is clear is the line that they have to tread between free speech and content which is going to be incredibly offensive to a lot of people. One interesting thing, if you say that someone should trump, that would be deleted. If it is aimed asa that would be deleted. If it is aimed as a head of state, it is seen as illegal. If you say you want to kill your boyfriend, believed that up kill your boyfriend, believed that up because you do not say that because that does not appear credible. A lot of people will find this disturbing, but if you put videos of physical abuse to children, nonsexual physical abuse, even that may be allowed up as long as it is not seen as celebrating sadism. So a lot of difficult winds to tread, and what this says to me is that this is the biggest problem facebook faces, and it is exactly the same kind of problem that a Media Company faces every day. At the bbc and other big media organisations, we have guidelines, detailed guidelines of what is and isnt allowed. They do, too, and they say they are not a Media Company. Everybody else will say, yes, you are. On that point, what do you think, because Mark Zuckerberg repeats the refrain that they are not a Media Company but they publish content and they have guidelines. Exactly, and some other things rory has pointed out, if you are a parent and you have been reporting that there is a video of your child being abused by other kids, you would be really distressed to find out that that distressed is not really matter and is not taken into account. Also, there seems to be a spurious assumption rather than evidence based, an assumption that a video of a violent death somehow raises awareness of mental illness. That is highly problematic and what the bbc and organisations like the guardian, for example do, they have a set of content standards which has been developed in partnership with Mental Health experts. They are transparent about them and the Decision Making that underpins those. So Mark Zuckerberg, facebooks assumption that they are platform and they are not responsible for the content that is put up on their site, that is no longer tenable. If you look at the leave Campaign Last year, they spend £4. 7 million on targeted ads directed at people because facebook has up to 92 different data points about you as a person, your relationship, a psychographic profile of your political leanings and sexuality, and they use that to target people. So on the one hand you cannot be taking money on the basis that you can target information, and at the same time say that we cannot be held responsible because we are just a platform. How do you read these guidelines, what do you take from it . I think you see that it is impossible not to make arbitrary decisions around a lot of this content. I think actually these are really ha rd content. I think actually these are really hard decisions to make and you are going to upset people one way or the other. Some of these things, like censorship, censoring something that somebody is saying about donald trump, that they want to shoot him, that seems to violate someones free speech because they are almost certainly making a joke. But it isnt surprising that this stuff is arbitrary. We have known it for years. We have that censorship of vietcong massacre is, we have had censorship of female breast feeding, because it shows a nipple. All of this is kind of order. But what are they meant to do at the same time . Well, what do facebook say in response . They do not say much in public. They say we do our best to tread this line and we have hired another 3000 moderators. Off the record, they are saying that actually what these documents show is how thoughtful a process this is, how much emphasis they have put on getting it right. And i think they would point to last year where they got in trouble for not publishing something disturbing, that famous photograph of that naked girl running down the road in vietnam, having been hit by napalm. They were slammed for not pushing that, and they change their policy. Thank you, all of you. Before we go, just time to show you some footage of the moment young girl is grabbed by a sea moment young girl is grabbed by a sea lion in canada. She was sitting ona dark sea lion in canada. She was sitting on a dark at the Fishermans Wharf in British Columbia before being pulled underwater by the sea lion. As you can hear, onlookers screamed as the girl momentarily disappeared before she was rescued and pulled to safety. On the programme tomorrow, we will be live in stranraer. We will hear the issues that matter most to voters there, head of the election next month. Thanks for watching. Have a good day. Were back at 9am. Good morning. If it is one weather you are after, this week promises plenty of that. Particularly by the end of the week. For some it started off on end of the week. For some it started offona end of the week. For some it started off on a slightly cooler note, not a com pletely off on a slightly cooler note, not a completely sunny one. There is a fairamount of completely sunny one. There is a fair amount of cloud around and this is how we sum up the week. Mainly dry with spells of sunshine and by the end of the week it is going to turn very warm. Someone had to be had today, particularly towards the south and east. That is where we will see the best of the sunshine. More cloud across wales and england. Thicker cloud for Northern Ireland and scotland bringing heavy bursts of rain. Temperatures ranging from 13 in aberdeen to a or 26 across the south east. Through this evening we will see heavy bursts of rain across the northern part of scotland. It could be gusty wind, and that will clear away by the end of the night. We will see dry weather and clear spells but always some extra cloud in the south west. Here, a grey day. Wales and south west england, some mist and wales and south west england, some mistand murk wales and south west england, some mist and murk on the hills and costs.
