Chinas secret brainwashing camps bbc panorama goes inside the network of high Security Prisons where inmates are indoctrinated and punished. And coming up at 8 30 a bbc investigation finds Vulnerable Children are increasingly being placed in unregulated homes. Thats in britains care scandal exposed. Good evening. Borisjohnson has launched the conservative partys election manifesto, promising to get his brexit deal passed by parliament, as soon as possible after the election, if he wins. In a speech in telford in shropshire, he offered what he called a route map to take the country forward. For the nhs in england theres a pledge to add 50,000 more nurses, and restore nursing grants, thats on top of an existing promise to pump tens of billions more into the health service. He said thered be no rises in income tax, National Insurance and vat for five years. And he pledged to raise the threshold at which people start paying National Insurance to £9,500, a saving of £85 a year, per person. 0ur political editor, laura kuenssberg, was at the manifesto launch, and her report contains some flash photography. Ahead, but far from clear and away. Are you feeling optimistic, ministers . Tories out, tories out the tories know its theirs to lose. But who would bet on much these days . This time last year, Boris Johnson was just a controversial backbencher. Now, defending his own position as Prime Minister. Boris and with a list of promises hes making new, trying to secure the conservatives another five years in charge. Hows that . Can you see that . His number one rallying cry to move on and leave the eu injanuary. Do we want more delay . Do we want more dither and drift and deadlock and division . Do we want 2020 to be another year of defeatism and despair . No, we dont. Get brexit done, and we can restore confidence and certainty to business and to families. Get brexit done, and we will see a pent up tidal wave of investment into this country. Get brexit done, and we can focus our hearts and our minds on the priorities of the british people. The conservatives had already vowed extra money for the health service, but theres a new promise to recruit more nurses. Today, in this manifesto, we pledge 50,000 more nurses and 50 million more gp surgery appointments, and today we make this guarantee. Cash to scrap hospital parking charges, taxpayers money for more childcare, and an Infrastructure Fund all, he claims, without raising taxe we can do all these things without raising her income tax, vat, or National Insurance contributions. Thats our guarantee. And in this manifesto. Applause. There is a vision for the future. Borisjohnson says he never wanted this election, but its both a huge risk and a huge opportunity for him and his party. Lets go for sensible, moderate, but tax cutting one nation conservative government, and take this country forwards. Thank you all very much. You won the leadership of your party by making a big promise on brexit that you then broke, despite saying the buck stops with you. Now you are trying to win the country with a whole list of promises and significant extra spending do you accept that beyond this room, and beyond your party, this is a big leap of faith for the country to trust you with a majority . The Biggest Issue at this election is really whether people have any confidence in politics any more. And i think the reason that confidence and trust in politics has been so undermined is because for three and half years, they have seen politicians engaged in constant prevarication, procrastination, dither and delay, when the people of this country voted to get brexit done. The tory leader is now right in the fray, right in the middle of this campaign. But none of the steps spelt out today are designed to create the fireworks hes famous for. Theres no doubt people are asking politicians, will you stick to what you are saying you will be doing . We couldnt be clearer about getting brexit done. We do want to spend more money on our priorities, the nhs, more on the 20,000 police, more on our schools, but we can do that if we keep the economy strong. Compared to the labour manifesto, this is a pamphlet rather than a phone book, but its a document designed to keep the tories out of trouble, rather than shake up the fundamentals of the campaign. Is this a winning manifesto, mrjohnson . Well, were fighting very hard, were fighting very hard. Its like gold dust, getting these posters. The big contrast between him and his rivals has been there since day one borisjohnson would take us out of the eu in less than 70 days. Thats the choice vote to leave at speed or vote for the chance to stay. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, telford. One of the conservatives key new policies is to add 50,000 more nurses to the workforce in england by 2023. Heres our health editor, hugh pym, with some analysis of that pledge. The 50,000 more nurses by 2024 was an eye catching plan, set out by borisjohnson, what does it add up to . Well, its not the same thing as recruiting 50,000 new nurses, its adding 50,000 to the workforce in england, currently around 300,000. Now there are a lot of vacancies at the moment, it is difficult recruiting, so the conservatives are arguing this is trying to deal with that problem. But that 50,000 figure includes recruitment overseas, and it includes better retention, that is policies to hold on to nurses, and try and make them, or persuade them that its worth staying with more professional development of their careers, rather than leaving early. The recruitment of new nurses is rather less than that, down around between 10,000 and 20,000, based on more training places. Now, the conservative government scrapped the bursary for training of nurses in england back in 2017. That caused a decline in applications. The conservatives say, if elected, they will reintroduce the maintenance grant of up to £8,000 a year for nursing students. Well our economics editor faisal islam has been taking look at some of the numbers in the conservative manifesto which he says contains no rabbits out of the hat, no huge tax cuts or new spending item. Its been designed as a steady as she go modest efforts, an equivalent of a rather low key budgets, with some targeted help. By design, the tax and spend numbers are just much smaller than the lib dems, and especially the labour party. There is extra Nurse Recruitment and appointments costing about £1. 5 billion a year, on top of existing commitments. Theres 600 million a year on a National Skills fund. The National Insurance threshold increase costs the exchequer 2. 5 billion a year, a tax cut. Total 6. 5 billion in spending rises in tax cuts. Its pretty modest. And although this spending builds on rises already announced, it doesnt undo ten years of austerity policies. All of that is basically funded by not Cutting Corporation tax, a tax on business profits, to 17p, leaving it at 19p instead. About half a billion is raised from increasing charged to migrants to use the health service. This is not a transformative manifesto in terms of taxes and budgets, its pre much steady as she goes, take on board the increases announced earlier this year, and then not much in addition. So i think the big take away here is that most of the cuts that weve seen over the last decade will be baked into spending over the next 3 4 years, unless more money turns up later on. The big picture is several billion a year, not several tens of billions. On top of all of this, there is investment spending of 8 billion a year in the last year for things Like Research and development, and potholes. But they do have space to do a lot more with the new borrowing rules. At the chancellor and Prime Minister want to keep a tight ship, a little bit more spending, yes, bit more tax as well, but less than a fraction of 1 of the size of the economy. Faisal islam there. Labour says if it wins the election, women who lost out on their state pensions when the retirement age was raised, will be compensated. Sums of up to £31,000 could be handed out to the nearly 4 million women affected. Labour estimates the overrall cost would be £58 billion over five years. Todays announcement wasnt part of their manifesto, and both the conservatives and the liberal democrats have described the promise as uncosted. WellJeremy Corbyn has been launching labours arts for all policy charter this afternoon , our correspondent Richard Galpin has been at the event and can tell us what thats about. It has just wrapped up at the Theatre Royal in stratford. It has been a lively evening. As you say, it has all been about providing arts for all, accessible arts, so everybody can take part, watch or listen. What mr corbyn has said is that they are going to spend £1 billion on this. Because they say there has been a huge impact of the austerity years, they are claiming that there have been cuts of more than £600 million over the past nine yea rs. Than £600 million over the past nine years. And therefore, there is a need now for what they are describing as a National Cultural renaissance. Now, that money is going to be spent in a lot of different ways. Rebuilding libraries, for example, or refurbishing libraries, which have been closed down. A lot of money going into different parts of the arts. At one of the big emphasis that he made is that they are going to provide money, £175 million a year, for schoolchildren to learn a musical instrument. There is evidence, i think, musical instrument. There is evidence, ithink, that musical instrument. There is evidence, i think, that a lot of schoolchildren have not been taking up schoolchildren have not been taking up music in any way, and Jeremy Corbyn wants this to be very much at the heart of what they are doing with this charter for the arts. Now, there have been endorsements from quite a lot of celebrities, who have either actually appeared in person here, or those that have recorded videos, for example, mark rylance. There have been performances from emeli sande and other musicians. It has been quite a lively night, but a night where an important charter was put forward by the labour party. Richard, thank you very much indeed. The liberal democrat leader, jo swinson has said there has been a squeeze on her party during the campaign, but that she is not conceding yet. Speaking on the Bbcs Andrew Marr show, swinson also attacked Jeremy Corbyns neutral stance on brexit, and said the liberal democrats priority was to stop brexit from happening. Well, of course the liberal democrats want to stop brexit and we will be campaigning to stop brexit. Ok, if that is the case, Jeremy Corbyn is offering a referendum, you may not like every aspect of what he is saying, but he is offering a referendum, and borisjohnson very much isnt, doesnt that mean you are inevitably going to have to lean towards the labour party and help them form a government, vote things through for them, rather than the conservatives . Well, first of all, as things stand, as things stand, borisjohnson is on course to get a majority, and liberal democrats are the best placed party to stop it. Ah, you think that is what is happening at the moment . If you look at the polls right now, that is what they say. Now there is, obviously, two and a half weeks to go in this campaign, and i am working very hard to change that situation. You are not conceding yet, but you think that he is going to win . Of course i am not conceding yet. Liberal democrats are campaigning hard right across the country, and we are making real inroads, but we need to make sure we win those seats from the conservatives, and we are in a position to do that in a way that labour simply is not. If he doesnt win an overall majority, and he comes to you saying, listen, jo, i never thought. I dont want to do this, i am doing this through gritted teeth, jo, but to get my deal through, to get my Withdrawal Agreement through, i am prepared to offer the liberal democrats a referendum on that deal afterwards, what do you say to him . Look, i am not putting borisjohnson orJeremy Corbyn into number ten, but if there is a law in parliament. The voters might. If there is a law in parliament that i can vote for that makes sure that the brexit deal is put to the public, with the opportunity to remain, i will vote for that. We have always said we will vote for that. Ah, 0k. So if borisjohnson tries to do a deal with you, whereby he gets his Withdrawal Agreement through the house of commons, he delivers his promise to get brexit done, but in return for that, he gives you a referendum, you say yes . I am not doing a deal, andrew. I am going to vote for the things that i am standing up for, for the things that i believe in, and i believe we should stop brexit, and it may be that a peoples vote is the best way to do that. We have campaigned for that for more than three years and so, as we have said, over the last year, if we can put a specific brexit deal to the British Public with the option to remain, liberal democrats will support having a peoples vote. We will vote for that legislation. The leader of the snp, nicola sturgeon, said that scrapping the uks nuclear deterrent, trident, would be one of her red lines, in the event of her party supporting a labour government. I have a moral objection to weapons of mass destruction, unlikejo swinson, i wouldnt be prepared to press that Nuclear Button that would kill potentially millions, tens of millions of people. But there is also the opportunity costs of trident, billions, tens of billions of pounds that are required to renew trident, in my view, are better stronger and stronger conventional defence that is more effective to protect our country, but also on hospitals and schools and better Social Security provision. These are the choices that we should be thinking very carefully about, and you know, if the snp is in that position of influence, then these are absolutely the kind of policies that we will push through. And well find out how the conservatives manifesto launch, the rest of the days Election Campaign news and other stories are covered in tomorrows front pages. 10 30 and 11 30 this evening in the papers our guests joining me tonight are ros altman and mihir bose. The headlines on bbc news. Borisjohnson pledges not to raise income tax, vat or National Insurance as he unveils the conservatives election manifesto. The tories also promise to add 50,000 nurses to the nhs in england, and restore nursing grants. Five teenagers are arrested after a large brawl at a birmingham cinema. Machetes are recovered and vue cinemas pull the gang film blue story. Sport, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, heres chetan. Good evening. We start with an extraordinary game in the premier league at bramall lane, as Manchester United scored three goals in seven second half minutes to come from 2 0 down to lead 3 2 at sheffield united, only for the home side to snatch a point with a last minute equaliser. Patrick geary was watching. Bramall lane is an assault on the senses, fire, water and a song about a greasy chip butty. It all feeds into an Elemental Energy that fuelled felled philjones. No foul, play on, and the final flick from john fleck. A team that keep on surprising. 0le Gunnar Solskjaer may be at the wheel, but they needed three points. 20. Wheel, but they needed three points. 2 0. So often, the answers to Manchester Uniteds problems have come from within. Young men like brandon williams, a teenage trendsetter. Five minutes later, 18 year old Mason Greenwood made it 22. 18 year old Mason Greenwood made it 2 2. Sheffield united, so co mforta ble 2 2. Sheffield united, so comfortable for so long, were now breathless and bewildered, as Marcus Rashford completed the youth u turn. Three goals in seven sensational minutes. But they could not contain the chaos. Sheffield united made their own anarchy. 0liver mcburnie squeezed in a stoppage time equaliser. 3 3. It had he used his arm . The equaliser. 3 3. It had he used his arm . The replays equaliser. 3 3. It had he used his arm . The replays were not clear. Goal given. Quite some finish, to quite so much. Rangers are back level on points with celtic at the top of the scottish premiership, after they won 3 1 at hamilton academicals this afternoon. Rangers went ahead seven minutes in thanks to this finish from ryan jack, but lewis smith levelled for hamilton. The games decisive moment came before the break. This fantastic strike from ryan kent restored rangers lead, and he added a third in injury time. Theyre now only in second place on goal difference. In the days other game, aberdeen remain in third after a 1 1 draw against stjohnstone. Sam cosgrove fired aberdeen ahead with this fine strike. But the side bottom of the table equalised when Matty Kennedy finished off this move 1 1 the score. It was a fiesty end to the game with stjohnstone, whod already had Murray Davidson sent off, seeing Callum Hendry get his marching orders minutes later too, for that lunge which meant they finished the game with nine men. Sale sharks produced a less than convincing display to beat 1a man la rochelle in the european champions cup. The sharks move up to second in pool two, five points behind leaders exeter chiefs. Gloucester produced a valiant fightback, but ultimately felljust short in their defeat by 1a man montpellier in france. Defeat for the cherry and whites means they stay bottom of pool five.
