Former england captain Dylan Hartley has announced his retirement from professional rugby. His club, northampton saints, said the hooker had been unable to recover from a knee injury. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. The Election Campaign has turned attention onto the economy and theyre planning a big spending spree with the shadow chancellor, John Mcdonnell, setting out plans to borrow £150 billion over five years to replace, update and expand schools, hospitals, housing and care homes. Mr mcdonnell said the investment would be on a scale never seen before outside of london and the south east. Chancellor sajid javid says the conservatives would increase borrowing to pay for new infrastructure, but he insists that controlling borrowing is a priority. This report from our economics correspondent andy verity. The man who wants to be the next chancellor of the exchequer has already promised a £250 billion in extra spending in the next ten yea rs. Extra spending in the next ten years. Today, he promised another sizeable sum in half that time. The social Transformation Fund will begin the urgent task of repairing oui begin the urgent task of repairing our socialfabric begin the urgent task of repairing our social fabric thats been torn apart by the tories. £150 billion to replace and upgrade and expand our schools, our hospitals, care homes and, yes, Council Homes once again. Another £150 billion over five years is roughly £30 billion a year. To give you an idea of how much that is, £1 billion would run the nhs over the uk for three days, it is enough for the government to build up enough for the government to build up to 111,000 new social homes or to pay for 22,000 new secondary School Teachers but it will mean loosening the governments rules on spending. 0urfiscal rule for the the governments rules on spending. 0ur fiscal rule for the next parliament will exclude borrowing for investment for borrowing targets. We will mandate us to deliver improvement in the overall Balance Sheet by the end of the parliament. So that when we invest in the infrastructure of a country desperately needs, it is recognised on both as a cost but also as a benefit. Before hed even spoken, the existing chancellor was attacking his Spending Plans. You mentioned 150 billion. He might as well say 3 trillion. Because they are meaningless numbers, and even if he tried to do what he said, if you try to keep his word, he will crash the economy. But the conservatives too want to loosen the purse strings, known as the fiscal rules. The aim for the last decade has been for dad to fall as a proportion of the economy, and in recent years it has. Today both parties ditched that girl saying the government debts can 110w girl saying the government debts can now rise. Instead they have a rule on the role of servicing that debt. The conservative state Debt Repayment should not cost more than government revenue of 6 but labour say it shouldnt cost more than 10 , and some economists recommended those loosen the purse strings. There needs to be investment in the country. There is a shortage of investment in the last ten years since the financial crisis and to some extent we are pleased both parties are offering these extensive Spending Plans, but the thing which worries us greatly is its not being bya worries us greatly is its not being by a comprehensive Spending Review 01 by a comprehensive Spending Review or indeed an assessment of the taxes that will be required to meet their Spending Plans and thats a grave concern to us. Labours plans with more than double public spending on investment on even the conservatives new spending cap would allow the highest Public Investment for a0 yea rs. Highest Public Investment for a0 years. But what now seems affordable in this pre christmas election, may look less so in the new year, especially if, as some predict, the economy slows down. Andy verity, bbc news. Norman smith is in liverpool. Spend, spend, and spend. Im tempted to start singing Shirley Bassey but i will spare you that one. It may look damp and miserable here, but be under no illusions, we are in big bonanza country with the biggest spending commitments by labour ever made, in other words, spending commitments by labour ever made, in otherwords, biggerthan the Labour Government of the 1970s, with their moves to support this deal yards, ship industry, the car industry, bigger even than the post war19a5 Labour Government. John mcdonnell setting out plans to borrow £a00 billion over the next ten yea rs borrow £a00 billion over the next ten years to upgrade our infrastructure and improve our products with capacity. Coupling that with a pledge to bring power back from london and put it in the north, and a warning too to the markets, saying the days of the city dictating to the rest of the country are over, but there is the wrinkle. To borrow that money at the very low ratesjohn to borrow that money at the very low rates John Mcdonnell to borrow that money at the very low ratesJohn Mcdonnell once, to borrow that money at the very low rates John Mcdonnell once, he to borrow that money at the very low ratesJohn Mcdonnell once, he needs the markets to agree, in other words, he needs the city to treat Jeremy Corbyn with kid gloves. 0n one thing, though, team labour will talk upa one thing, though, team labour will talk up a success, and that is the tories seem to be following them, because sajid javid set out the government Spending Plans today. They are not as ambitious, but thinking is the same too. He also was talking about spending billions. Putting the money into Public Services and now is right time to borrow. So what we have . We have a bit of a bidding war and we have both parties are talking the same language. Bonanza country. Norman smith, thank you very much.

Britains smaller pro european Political Parties have announced a remain electoral alliance. The liberal democrats, plaid cymru and the green party will step aside for each other in 60 constituencies. The pact does not include labour or the snp. They claim the move is in the national interest. It is unprecedented, the scale of this arrangement between these three different Political Parties, but i think it speaks volumes about how high the stakes are, how important this is, that these parties, ourselves, the liberal democrats, with the green party and plaid cymru, have been able to put aside those narrow Party Interests to Work Together in the national interest, and thats how our politics should be done. Around 1,500 voters in swindon have been mistakenly warned that they may not be able to vote in the general election. In letter sent by swindon council, residents were told they would be removed from the electoral register as they were no longer entitled to be registered at their property. The Council Later tweeted asking residents to ignore the letter as it was sent by mistake.

Absolutely, he quit as cabinet member but he still, we understand, planning to stand as a candidate but there is no sign of him upa candidate but there is no sign of him up a constituency office, and we are told canvassing has been suspended for the day. Alun cairns keeping a very, very low profile. 0ther keeping a very, very low profile. Other candidates around the uk are obviously out handing out their pamphlets and trying to bring the voters on their side. But there are many calls for him to quit the election completely, lead as you said by the person at the centre of this case. Back in april last year, there was a rape trial in cardiff which collapsed. After the testimony ofa which collapsed. After the testimony of a witness, an aide to alun cairns. That person went on to be endorsed by him and alun cairns said he didnt know what that person had done. There are many questioning, not just alun cairns done. There are many questioning, notjust alun cairns road other people in the welsh conservatives and what they knew, and the parties treatment of women as a whole. A former candidate has told bbc wales she thinks they have a problem with women not being able to speak out all that they are silenced by the men within the party. Even questioning borisjohnsons men within the party. Even questioning Boris Johnsons judgment now in endorsing alun cairns as potentially the candidate for this seat. A huge amount of pressure on alun cairns but so far, weve not seen alun cairns but so far, weve not seen sight of him. Thank you very much. Its coming up to 115 p. Our top story this lunchtime.

During the evening ms millane sends messages on her phone to a university friend, who statement was read in court.
