Of spain full of places that time forgot. Really beautiful round here. Its really quiet. We are tackling the great wall of china, one step at a time.

A columnist with the guardian. Welcome to you all. Thanks for being back with us. Polly, we will talk a lot about theresa may and why she did it, but one thing all the commentators seem to have started this Election Campaign in agreement on is that this will see offJeremy Corbyn. But he seems to be relishing the job of underdog. Why . I think he likes elections. Big rallies are his thing, it is what is best at.

Ijust helped a guy out when he was in need, and i am glad he got to the line and hes 0k. Now on bbc news, its time for click. This week. How to stare at your phone and change the world. Strawberries in a massive box. And, fancy working in an enormous Train Station . I dont know if you have noticed, but there seems to have been a lot of election talk of late.

And that is due to the fear of cyberattacks, which the French National Cybersecurity Agency says are an extremely high risk. Queues of people, paper voting, surely there has to be a bet

Hello and welcome to the week in parliament, when theresa may went public with the best kept secret in westminster. I have just chaired a meeting with the cabinet where we agreed that the government should call a General Election, to be held on 8thjune. Opposition parties say they welcome the fight, but. This is a Prime Minister who promised there wouldnt be one. A Prime Minister who cannot be trusted. Meanwhile in holyrood, the snp and the conservatives square up over scotlands future. But it wasnt all about the General Election. In the commons, there was concern over the Nuclear Ambitions of north korea. And condemnation of the alleged dea
The Centrist Emanuel Macron is through to the next round of voting, along with the far rights Marine Le Pen, who reaches out to voters.
