And at 11 30, well be taking an in depth look at the papers with our reviewers Sebastian Payne and Polly Mackenzie stay with us for that. Good evening and welcome to bbc news. The house of commons has elected sir Lindsay Hoyle as its new speaker, succeeding john bercow, a few days before the official Election Campaign gets under way on wednesday. Sir lindsay, originally a labour mp, was formerly Deputy Speaker, and he secured a significant majority in the final round of voting a couple of hours ago. The speakers role has been crucial in recent years as parliament has struggled to deal with the brexit crisis, as our chief Political Correspondent vicki young reports. Were going to be hearing a lot more of this mans voice in the coming months as he oversees the next chapter in these tumultuous political times. According to parliamentary tradition, sir Lindsay Hoyle had to be dragged to the speakers chair where he made this promise. I will be neutral, i will be transparent, i think this house, we can do more to ensure that that transparency continues. His family were watching from the Public Gallery and he spoke of their heartache over the death of his 28 year old daughter. My daughter natalie, i wish she could have been here. We all miss her as a family, none more so than her mum. Ive got to say, she was everything to all of us, she will always be missed but will always be in our thoughts. Lindsay hoyle was elected the labour mp for chorley in 1997 and hes been Deputy Speaker for nine years. Hes steeped in politics his dad was also an mp. His pets are named after famous politicians, a dog called gordon, a tortoise named maggie, a parrot named boris. Im now going to call, for the first time, the Prime Minister. The kindliness of the speaker is absolutely critical to our confidence and the way we behave, and mr speaker, over the years i have observed that you have many good qualities. People are put under enormous stress, both staff and members of this house. I know you take your responsibilities in that area very, very seriously. The speakers appearance might have changed over the years but their role in keeping order in the commons is as crucial as ever. They can influence what gets debated, and some thought john bercow went too far, bending the rules to side with anti brexit mps. Sir Lindsay Hoyles supporters say he will adopt a down to earth, calm approach when he swaps his lancastrian home for the grand speakers residence in the palace of westminster. This speaker is unlikely to be as controversial as the last. Vicki young, bbc news. Doctors and Health Service leaders in england, have warned the main parties against using the nhs, as a political weapon during the general Election Campaign. They say theyre already seeing the start of a bidding war, with nhs providers, who represent hospitals and other health trusts, saying promises made in the heat of an election battle, risk creating unrealistic expectations. Heres our health editor, hugh pym. A nice big bus it is a familiar story at elections down the decades. Ive had sufficient physiotherapy in my time to know. Political Party Leaders visiting hospitals. It is possible for me to get. Yes. Its the same once again. Borisjohnson is in a hospital almost daily, while labour today also focused on the Health Service. We would ask our politicians to exercise a bit of self control and to make sure that the debate were going to have his evidence based, its mature, and its notjust political and judy. Health leaders say its all the more important to have a considered debate about the future of the nhs because it is under immense strain right now. They say they are worried about the level of pressure, even before winter has really set in. So, how does this hospital chief executive see things . Weve been very busy over the summer here at milton keynes. Its really important that we have the right staff available to us and the physical capacity to look after the patients. Were going to see some real peaks in demand. Staffing is a problem. There are 107,000 vacancies across the nhs in england and all this as demand is rising, with nearly 4 more Emergency Hospital admissions over a year. What about gp practices . 0ne doctor gave her perspective. I think different governments have different ideas and they want to have an impact on the needs does make an edge as nhs, one way or the other, and sometimes they mess things up. As gps we expect to be working a little bit harder, longer hours, seeing a few more patients. The latest figures show there were 4. 4 Million People waiting for routine surgery in england, a record high. And nearly 65,000 in september had to wait more than four hours for a bed after being admitted to a e. We asked patients and visitors outside one London Hospital about nhs care. There isnt a lot of time for anyone anymore. I think it is not fair because it is not their fault. There isa because it is not their fault. There is a lot of political games. Because it is not their fault. There is a lot of political gamesli because it is not their fault. There is a lot of political games. I have nothing but good things to say about the nhs. The west minister nhs debate is mostly about england, the devolved administrations running their own system, and there is no doubt there is passion for the nhs right across the uk. Hugh pym, bbc news. In the days other election news nigel farage has unveiled the brexit partys 600 election candidates, though he isnt one of the them, saying he believes the party is more than to Boris Johnson, because he says 5 million labour supporters voted to leave the eu in the 2016 referendum. The liberal democrats are taking legal advice over itvs decision to exclude them from its forthcoming tv debate between borisjohnson and jeremy corbyn. The lib dem leader, jo swinson, claimed hers is the true party of remain, and she is the only female leader with a shot at becoming Prime Minister. The leader of plaid cymru, adam price, launched the partys general Election Campaign in anglesey. He accused both labour and the conservatives of having failed wales, and said the countrys future should be as an independent nation. The commons intelligence and Security Committee report into possible russian interference in uk elections will not be published before the general election. The committee chair, the former conservative, but now independent mp, dominic grieve, said number10 was being disingenuous and misleading by claiming there wasnt enough time to publish it. The report has received security clearance and the bbc understands theres no administrative reason for it not to be made public. The leader of the snp, Nicola Sturgeon, has accused Boris Johnson of treating scottish voters with contempt after he ruled out allowing a second referendum on independence. The snp have made another referendum a key feature of their Election Campaign. Of the 13 conservative seats in scotland, over half are considered marginal, that means a swing of 5 or less could see a change, as our scotland editor sarah smith reports. In stirling the fight is as tight as it gets. The tories won by less than 150 votes when they took the seat from the snp in the last election. No wonder voters are fortifying themselves, ready for a campaign in which the divisive question of independence is likely to dominate. I think its going to be independence related, so if all of scotland is covered with snp members of parliament, then that clearly shows something important. I think independence will be a big issue, but there are other aspects to look at as well. That you think we should be looking at . I think we should be, yes. The yes movement, gathered en masse in Glasgows George Square this weekend, believe this election could be the next step towards an independent scotland, especially now the snp have put it at the very heart of their campaign. For everyone here who is impatient to see an independent scotland, they know this general election could be crucial. A good result for the snp will make it that bit harder for westminster to refuse to allow another independence referendum. So do you see this election essentially as a referendum on whether or not scotland should be allowed to have an independence referendum . That is certainly, you know, the big issue at the heart of this election in scotland. Do we want our future determined for us by the likes of Boris Johnson, or do we want to take the future into our own hands and determine the path we take and the kind of country we want to be . The tories are looking to spread the same message. Independence is a much easier topic for them than brexit in a marginal seat like 0chil in south perthshire. They love it every time Nicola Sturgeon talks about another referendum. What do you think . I think, yippee because every time nicola goes on the television and bangs on about independence, we get more votes. Are you sure . Absolutely so when Nicola Sturgeon says shes making this campaign about independence, do you think thats good for tories . Fantastic news. Really . Yes. The conservatives want to position themselves as the only reliable defenders of the union. Even though the lib dems promise that they too will protect the uk. Voters may be confused by labours position. They say they dont want another referendum but would not block one. And the snp are hoping that by making the demand for another referendum so central, that will make it difficult for the next Prime Minister to say no. Sarah smith, bbc news. All Political Parties have stepped up their campaigns on social media in recent days. Political advertising on platforms such as facebook has been the source of great controversy in the past few years, with concerns about personal data falling into the wrong hands. But as our media editor amol rajan reports, that hasnt stopped campaigners looking to Digital Channels as a powerful tool to reach voters. Election campaigns are ultimately a branch of the marketing industry. In the 21st century, that means theyve shifted online. This weekend saw a significant escalation of political ads in our facebook and other social media feeds. But tactics varied across the parties. Conservatives focused on brexit and targeted marginal constituencies such as colne valley with a message thatjust a few hundred votes could be decisive. Labour looked to policy beyond brexit with an nhs add that linked to a guardian article. The lib dems tweaked their attack ad againstjeremy corbyn for different audiences. 0ne claimed he was a brexiteer at heart, another questioned his leadership credentials. But how exactly do digital marketers, political and otherwise, target us . The industry is seeing exponential growth, this british firm doesnt work for Political Parties but helps brands reach their target audience. Every single action that people take online almost is tracked as a data point that we can use to inform our targeting and that is whether theyve taken a certain amount of time dwelling on a page, whether theyve expressed an interest in something, joined a group, almost purchased something but not purchased something, every single one of these is a signal. So how narrowly can you focus your target . You will be blown away by how specific we can be in terms of targeting individual people. We could, for example, within newcastle under lyme, choose a nurse whos recently qualified within a certain income bracket whos interested in fitness and wellness, and then under behaviours, has recently returned from travel within the last one or two weeks. Thats how specific we can get. What, then, is the appeal of social media to political campaigns . First, its very quick, it is also a cheaper medium, you can pay sometimes as little as £100 to reach thousands of swing voters. The other reason, of course, is that youre allowed to advertise on social. British Political Parties are not allowed to advertise on tv or on radio, unlike their counterparts in america. This is the age of data, all around us is an infinite swirl of personal information which you and i add to every time we browse, swipe, like or click. And farfrom the madding crowd, political marketers, mavericks and miscreants are plundering those innocent digital ticks to capture our attention and persuade us to give them a hearing. And a vote. Recent plebiscites show campaigners tend to save most of their digital budgets for the climax ofa campaign. The best, and the worst, is yet to come. Amol rajan, bbc news. And for more coverage of the general election, you can go online, where theres a simple but extensive guide to the election, the issues, and the state of the parties going into the december the 12th vote. Thats at bbc. Co. Uk, or on the bbc news app. The headlines on bbc news mps have voted labours sir Lindsay Hoyle as the new speaker he replaces john bercow, whos stood down after ten years in the role Health Bosses have warned parties not to use the nhs as a political weapon in the Election Campaign. The baby goods retailer, mothercare, has said it plans to call in administrators, putting 2,500 jobs at risk. In yet another sign of the economic fragility of britains high streets, the baby goods and maternity retailer mothercare is warning its on the brink of collapse in the uk. The iconic brand once boasted 425 stores, but is now appointing administrators for its british business, putting some 2 and a half thousand jobs are at risk. The company has been struggling for some time, losing 36 Million Pounds last year, as our Business Correspondent emma simpson explains. It is big business, all this baby kit, from prams and toys to clothes. Mothercare is the uks best known one stop shop. But it has lost its appeal for new mums and dads. At this baby and Toddler Group today, they say the retail picture has changed. More options to choose from for starters. Everybody is trying to compete with each other and the shops are getting cheaper and cheaper. They are being hit and people will shop elsewhere. H m, primark, youve got the cheaper option. Baby things, we probably tend to shop around, go online, things that are more local to us, to be honest. Back in the 70s, mothercare was the go to place for baby essentials. You could get a pram for 6 quid. But after serving generations of new parents, the business lost its way. The big problem for mothercare is that everything they sell, whether its from baby shampoo through to prams, someone else sells it as well. Sells it better, cheaper, and can get it to you quicker. And their shoppers have really changed because now they are serving really young shoppers who are completely internet savvy and want to be able to get things straightaway. Mothercares uk business has been losing money for years. Today the company said it could no longer see a return to profitability and called it a day. At its peak in 2008, mothercare had 425 shops including Early Learning centres but by last year it was down to just 79 mothercare outlets after a major restructuring to close shops and cut costs. The plan did not work. Now 500 full time jobs and 2000 part time roles are at risk. Another blow to the high street, already in turmoil as the all important Christmas Trading season gets under way. It is getting really hard for traditional bricks and mortar shops. Costs like Business Rates are going up as shoppers spend more online. Conditions are pretty brutal for many right now, leaving weaker players like mothercare unable to adapt. Inevitably, there will be more casualties ahead. The stores continue to trade as normal, for now. Mothercares profitable International Business is not affected. But tonight, its long term physical presence here on uk high streets is far from clear. Emma simpson, bbc news. A bbc investigation has found that more and more young people are going missing, from accommodation provided to support those in care. A freedom of information request, indicates the number missing from unregulated homes has more than doubled in england and wales, in the past 3 years. Its also been revealed that more than 60 children were found by councils to have been sexually assaulted or exploited once they returned. The department for education, who refused to be interviewed, say councils have a duty to provide suitable accommodation. Our special correspondent ed thomas has this exclusive report. I was in a care home, at a semi independent place, and a car come up and the driver, i didnt know who it was, a bag got put over my head, i got flung in the boot. Got taken to a random house out in the country, i got flannels put over my face, got waterboarded, got stripped, got beaten. I was stabbed once in my shoulder and twice in my leg. When i got let go, i was laying on the road, dying. Kidnapped while in care. He is 17 and has been in care since the age of five. For the past two years, he has been living in unregulated homes.
