Senior figures from every country that fought alongside the uk are attending. With me now are the historian giles milton and our correspondent robert hall. Festival, set the scene, 75 years ago, what was happening right here . D day was the greatest seaborne invasion of the history of warfare. 160,000 men sailed across the channel and tried to punch a hole through the atlantic wall that the germans had built all along the coastline of normandy. It was a Pivotal Moment in the Second World War, because if the allies succeeded in getting onto the shore, they were probably going to win the Second World War. The robert, the focus will be World Leaders initially, but it is the veterans who are still here to tell their story. Yes, they will hear a story they are familiar with, we are already hearing the music they are familiar with, there d day tale will unfold on that stage with words and music, and we will see World Leaders at their paying National Tributes to the fallen of d day. It is a story that will be woven through the morning. We are just looking at pictures of what happened, today was originally meant to be the day of d day. Happened, today was originally meant to be the day of dday. Yes, of course, but we are in england and the weather was atrocious. It had to be halted at the last moment and postponed by one day, so it became the 6th of june. Postponed by one day, so it became the 6th ofjune. Even on the 6th of june, the weather was also terrible in the channel. Many of the men were very ill on the crossing. Robert, you have been spending time with some of the veterans and yesterday, a bit of downtime for some of them. Thats right, we off to dunkirk briefly, but yesterday, we saw the vetera ns briefly, but yesterday, we saw the veterans come alive in poole. They met men from today ats royal marine commandos. It sums up the spirit of these men, they went out in fast boats, they wanted to go out in poole harbour. Some of these men dont talk about d day, but on these days, they come alive and tell their stories. The nature of this is the allied countries that are coming out and telling their stories. It was a joined up operation, americans, brits, canadians, but many other nations. The planning for this was very meticulous, a battle plan for the day, which more or less went to plan, but of course, things went wrong, factors that couldnt have been identified. Talk about the mood they would have been 75 years ago, waiting for the order to go, they we re waiting for the order to go, they were terrified. They were, but many of them wanted to get going, they knew what was happening and they wanted to set style. Hanging around oii wanted to set style. Hanging around on the Landing Craft was not pleasant. What to expect to see later in the day . That is the most powerful image of the day, will be any papers tomorrow morning. The vetera ns any papers tomorrow morning. The veterans will return to the ship they are on and will come out through the pier. Always poignant here in fort smith, a big ship leaving in portsmouth.

President trump revealed that he was pressed on Climate Change by the prince of wales during their meeting at Clarence House earlier this week. Yeah, i think we had a very, very good talk.

And this is real, he believes that, he wants to have a world thats good forfuture generations. Do you want that . And i do, too.

Thank you, charlotte. Australian police have raided the headquarters of the public broadcaster abc, over allegations journalists had published classified material. The Police Action is related to reports about alleged misconduct by Australian Forces in afghanistan, as our sydney correspondent phil mercer explains. Well, the Australian Federal police raided the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Sydney headquarters in the middle of the morning today. Its after tea time now, so this raid has now been going on for quite a long time. These Police Officers and it experts have apparently identified thousands of documents they believe relate to this case of the allegedly publishing of classified material. Now, this case relates to a serious broadcast on the abc injuly 2017, called the afghan files. Now this story was based, according to the abc, on hundreds of secret military documents leaked to abc reporters. The story that the abc published alleges killings and misconduct by Australian Forces in afghanistan. The Australian Federal police say is that it has suspicions that a crime has been committed in the publication of these documents. In response, the abc is pretty furious that its headquarters has been raided here. It said very bluntly that journalism is not a crime. Arcadia, the fashion empire owned by sir philip green, faces a make or break vote over its future later today. Creditors will meet to decide whether to approve a restructuring deal that will see the closure of 20 stores and a reduction in rent on around 50 others. The company, which owns brands like topshop and miss selfridge and employs around 18,000 staff, could go into administration if the deal is rejected. Campaigners will head to the high court this morning for a judicial review into how the government raised the state pension age for women from 60 to 66. They say that around four million women, who were born in the 1950s, were not given enough time to prepare for the change. Heres our personal finance correspondent, simon gompertz. It makes me feel angry, depressed, put upon. This woman, an ambulance driver in margate, had little more than a years notice that she wouldnt get the pension she banked on at 60, but instead she has to wait till 66. We would all love the money we are owed. I am probably owed Something Like 119,000 by the time i get to 66. I cant see that happening. I would like some sort of compensation if we dont get that. It is sex discrimination, they will tell the court. They dont mind equal pension ages, but they do mind the way they are being brought in. The back to 60 group that has brought this judicial review is demanding repayment of all the pension that women born in the 1950s are missing out on, arguing that the speed of the change and what they call the lack of warnings has left millions disadvantaged. The government says it decided more than 20 years ago that it was going to make the state pension age the same for men and women as a long overdue move towards gender equality, and this has been clearly communicated. But she feels too many realised too late that they would have years without a pension. Lets ta ke lets take you back to southsea common in portsmouth, the location for todays commemorations, marking the 75th anniversary of the d day landings. There will be many World Leaders there representing the allied forces who, together on the beaches of normandy, struck a decisive blow against the nazis, but the focus will be on the 300 vetera ns the focus will be on the 300 veterans of d day, all of them now over 90 years of age, who are taking pa rt over 90 years of age, who are taking part as well. The queen will be attending, accompanied by the prince of wales. Music from the time entertaining the crowds ahead of the day that will be phil of fond memories, but also hugely poignant. We will have more on todays main story is coming up on the bbc news channel. But now, we say goodbye to viewers on bbc two. And we will be back in portsmouth very soon. Borisjohnson, the conservative mp and frontrunner to replace theresa may as Prime Minister, has said the party faces extinction if it fails to deliver brexit by the end of october. He made the comment at a hustings debate with other leadership contenders in westminster last night. Housing minister Kit Malthouse and brexit ministerjames cleverly have pulled out of the contest, leaving 11 still in the running. Lets hear more from our assistant political editor, norman smith. Is borisjohnson setting the tone for his leadership campaign, which he has yet officially to launch . For his leadership campaign, which he has yet officially to launch7m isnt his first significant intervention, he hasnt formally entered the race yet, and you have to wonder if his strategy is just to keep his head a little bit down beneath the radar as the standout favourite. Last night, however, beginning to sketch out his pitch to tory mps, which is this, that the party is heading for annihilation, it is facing an existential crisis, u nless it is facing an existential crisis, unless it manages to get brexit delivered by october the 31st. His argument was, he was the man who will be able to secure a new deal by the 31st october, to take us out of the 31st october, to take us out of the eu. And in his words, he would put nigel farage back in his box and get brexit pushed to one side, so the tory party can concentrate on a broader agenda, which he believes he has the abilities to pursue and to reenergise the tory party, to inject some enthusiasm into tory values and policies, which he claims would enable him to defeatjeremy corbyn ina enable him to defeatjeremy corbyn in a general election. However, he and some other candidates have come under ferocious attack this morning from one of their rivals, rory stewart, who has accused figures like borisjohnson, stewart, who has accused figures like boris johnson, claiming stewart, who has accused figures like borisjohnson, claiming they could get a new deal from the like borisjohnson, claiming they could get a new dealfrom the eu by the end of october, of being unrealistic, of misleading voters. This is what he told emma barnett on five live. Anyone, any other leadership candidate who is pretending they will go to brussels and get a different deal, doesnt understand brussels, hasnt been following the news, doesnt understand what is happening in europe at the moment, and doesnt understand that the european position is very clear. Anyone offering that is offering one thing only, they are offering to try to get no deal three in october. Rory stewart picturing himself as a frank talking realist, but taking a swipe at all the other candidates who are advocating a revised deal or no deal. Norman, thank you very much.
