spells, although more cloud the further north you are, all the details shortly. it's sunday, june 2nd. our main story. sir keir starmer has pledged to cut levels of legal migration to the uk, if labour wins the general election. in a newspaper interview he set out plans to prioritise british workers and crack down on businesses that break employment laws. the conservatives said no—one believed the labour leader was serious about tackling immigration. our political correspondent alex forsyth has the latest. every year, people come to the uk to live, work or study. last year, net migration — that's the difference between the number of people arriving and the number of people leaving — was 685,000. sir keir starmer, who launched his election battle bus yesterday, has previously said that's too high. now he's promised to cut that number if labour wins the election, though he hasn't said by how much or by when. he told the sun on sunday newspaper — read my lips, i will bring immigration numbers down, i will control our borders, and make sure british businesses are helped to hire brits first. the government has introduced measures designed to cut legal immigration, including raising the minimum salary needed for skilled workers. labour says it would pass a new law so the government, skills agencies and employers had to come up with plans to train british workers in sectors that rely heavily on immigration, and strengthen laws to ban businesses that exploit workers from hiring staff from abroad. the conservatives, who also launched their battle bus yesterday, said no—one believed the labour leader was serious about tackling immigration. the snp said labour and the tories had cruel immigration policies that harm scotland's economy. while the lib dems said they would raise wages for carers, because the sector was too reliant on workers from overseas. policies and promises about who can come to the uk to live, work or study is proving another point of contention in this campaign. alex forsyth, bbc news. the conservatives are focusing on health policies for england today. they say they'll build or modernise 250 more gp surgeries, open more local diagnostic centres and expand treatments offered by pharmacies to cover conditions such as acne and chest infections. the liberal democrats say they want to reverse budget cuts in public health services provided by local authorities, with more health checks and blood pressure checks. and the scottish national party will launch their general election campaign today in glasgow. the leader, john swinney, will say that a vote for the snp is a vote to put scotland's interests first, and that independence would offer a better future. south africa's political parties are gearing up for

international space station, was aborted yesterday just four minutes before take—off. 0ur science correspondent pallab ghosh reports. sta rliner. . . boeing's long—delayed sta rliner. with four minutes to go, the spacecraft�*s flight control said it was ready for launch. propulsion. go. hydraulics. go. pneumatics. go. but then the computer said no. hold, hold, hold. hold it. the flight was scrubbed, and out came the astronauts. what happens next is the crew has been disembarked from the spacecraft for the second time now. so last time they were within two hours of launch. this time within minutes, four minutes. they're taken back to their quarters and then the investigation begins. initial findings suggest the system failed to allow a computer—controlled launch. those in charge need to find out why. this is the business that we're in. everything's got to work perfectly, like we've talked before. today we got really close. it didn't work for us. the team is very professional, they are in their 24—hour turnaround right now, and when we're ready to go, they'll be ready to go. when this spacecraft is ready for launch, its role is to take crew and cargo to the international space station. starliner is a brand—new spacecraft that looks like the apollo module used in the moon landings more than 50 years ago. it carried three astronauts, whereas starliner has a maximum capacity of seven. the spacecraft will take a day to reach the space station when it will test out its docking and cargo transportation systems. the mission will last around a week and on returning to earth, the crew will experience starliner�*s landing system, which will touch down in the deserts in the south—western united states. the boeing spacecraft can only take off at fixed times to

the passengers for this trip, three generations of one family with a special connection to the plane. today, actually going over the beach...will bring me up. you know, he was a hero. didn't think of it very much at the time, since i knew that he died quite young, and much of this stuff i found out after he died. like many people in — i guess probably almost anywhere — they don't talk about it much. and they brought with them a special memento — theirfather, grandfather, great—grandfather's diary for that day of days. talks about what happened onjune 6th, taking some flak, seeing some other planes go down. and it was also interesting that, when he landed, one of the things he said was, "i think i'm going to get drunk." it was just amazing to have his in—flight notes about what was going on during the d—day invasion. what were the kind of things that jumped out at you? well, one, that he wasjust a young man and that what he was about to embark on and his calm demeanour about what was about to happen — it was inspiring. this iconic image showed the allied commander, general eisenhower, talking to troops about to board planes, including that's all brother, which led the airborne armada from greenham common in berkshire. front, right, plf. prepare to land. land. eighty years on, and those who'll be dropping from the plane into france were going through last—minute drills. the difference — they'll be parachuting in daylight, and not into enemy—held territory. it's one of the things that i think about a lot sitting in the plane is — you know, what was going through their heads 80 years ago when they were doing this and when it really mattered, you know, what did they think about? and no doubt many more will also be reflecting on those events as the anniversary itself draws closer. joe campbell, bbc news, with the d—day squadron. already so many inspiring stories with the d day commemorations. let's have a look at today's papers. the sunday telegraph leads with claims from the chancellorjeremy hunt that labour will betray pensioners again. his comments were made in reference to a gordon brown—era pension policy, which mr hunt says people will "never forget". elsewhere, the observer reports that the prime minister rishi sunak has suffered a poll blow, as it says he faces "accusations of using levelling up funds to win votes". the paper claims that labour has opened its biggest poll lead since liz truss' premiership. and away from uk politics, the sunday mirror features the conviction of former us president donald trump, in a world exclusive with stormy daniels — whose hush—money payment was at the centre of the case. the paper reports that ms daniels says she is "vindicated" by the result, but that "the legacy of the trial will stay with her
