On the Campaign Trail. But he has been out and about in bristol. A Campaign Asset or a ticking time bomb . What about you . And we speak to the human and animal residents of Dumfries And Galloway to find out whether Scottish Independence would be a deciding factor in their vote. No coalition of chaos here. We will be getting the pet theories of our panel, stephen bush from the new statesman, and the sun on sundays dave wooding. Lets catch up on the latest developments from the Campaign Trail today. The Liberal Democrats have launched their Party Manifesto in east london. Leader tim farron called on voters to support his party and ensure they get a choice about britains future relationship with europe. I believe that our children will have a Brighter Future if we are inside the european union. That they will be safer and better off. That our economy will be stronger and our country will have more influence in the world. Butjust because i believe that doesnt mean i think people who voted
Our audience was selected by a leading opinion Polling Company to ensure they are representative of the country as whole. They support different parties, some are undecided voters, and they are also equally split along the lines of last years Eu Referendum half voted to leave the eu and half to remain. And if youd like to join in the debate at home, you can do so on twitter using the hashtag bbcdebate. We start with Opening Statements from all seven politicians, the order of which was decided by the drawing of lots. First, the leader of plaid cymru, leanne wood. Theresa may called this election because shes taking you for granted. She wont turn up to these debates, because her campaign of soundbites is falling apart. Unlike theresa may, i am not afraid to defend my policies, my principles, my values. Plaid cymru exists to defend and build up our country. In wales, it is plaid cymru that stands for fairness and equality for everyone who chooses to call wales home. For a hundred years, w
And leaders from most of the main parties have been taking part in a live tv debate on the bbc. Interestingly Prime Minister theresa may wasnt there she ruled out doing head to head tv debates and sent a senior minister, amber rudd, in her place. The main opposition labour leader Jeremy Corbyn had said he also wouldnt go if mrs may wasnt appearing but he had a last minute change of heart, and decided to turn up. Lets hear him clashing with amber rudd over payments to disabled people. We are a party who always supports those in most need. And the welfare bill for helping people on disabilities has gone up £7 billion in the last seven years. And is now at £50 billion. We will always provide that safety net. Amber, you tried to remove safety nets away from people on disabilities and turned around on that. You are not credible. I know there is no extra payment you do not want to add to, no tax you do not want to rise, but the fact is that we have to concentrate our resources on the peopl
Joined by nathan holman, one of the architects of the paris accord and the obama administration, you watched that, what did you make of it . Trump made a case about fairness and in that sense i thought it was relative to the facts of what the Paris Agreement actually is. I thought it was borderline delusional and apocalyptic. Those are strong words, back them up. He sketched a vision of what the Paris Accord Is Asa kind vision of what the paris accord is as a kind of International Imposition of the United States put it was negotiated as something the United States could argue we wanted to do on our own terms. The president fundamentally does not agree with those Negotiation Terms . One thing interesting about his vision and he is conflating two important things about paris, one of the structure of the International Agreement and wonders will we propose to country. For him they are one and the same and he is certainly not happy with the targets put forth, those targets are negotiable wi
