raised rishi sunak�*s absence from part of thursday's d—day celebrations. respect our veterans, including those with an average age of 100, who were deserted by the prime minister in normandy yesterday, which i think was a complete and utter disgrace and shows us we actually have a very unpatriotic prime minister. it was dreadful. it was cabinet minister and naval reservist penny mordaunt who had to answer for her leader. what happened was completely wrong and the prime minister has rightly apologised for that, apologised to veterans — but also to all of us because he was representing all of us. penny mordaunt was keen to take the fight to labour's angela rayner on tax. they are going to put up your taxes by £2000... that's a lie! by £2000 per working household. crosstalk. your government have raised taxes i to the record level in 17 years. i yeah, we have, and we hated putting the taxes up. angela rayner had earlier talked about labour's plan to boost the economy with green investment. great british energy- which is putting a windfall tax on the big oil and gas companies which will allow us to set up - the publicly owned energy company i which will give taxpayers' money i back, bring down bills, _ and make a secure for our energy needs for the future and create thousands ofjobs. _ the greens said it needed more. a green economy would create jobs, well—paid jobs distributed all over the country. for example, on a nationwide home insulation programme which would bring down everyone�*s bills, help with the cost of living in the here and now, give us warmer, come comfortable homes, give us hundreds of thousands of green jobs. the snp's stephen flynn wanted more honesty about the economy. there is £18 billion worth of cuts baked in which neither the labour party nor the conservative party are being honest about. instead, they're having the worst of westminster argument between them tonight instead of being honest with you. the debate also covered the nhs. we're going to fix the front door . to the nhs with 8,000 more gps, giving you a guarantee _ of an appointment within seven days. we're going to put an end to dental deserts. - we'll have a mental health community hub in every single community. - and there were clashes too on immigration. let's change the tone! applause. let's change the tone of the debate on immigration. you know, too much of it is framed around, frankly, the bigotry of people like nigel farage. is that the best you can do? plaid cymru will stand up to nigel farage. open doors, anyone can come! of course we need... everyone come! after an hour and a half there were handshakes and smiles, but the serious race for your vote goes on. helen catt, bbc news. we'll speak to our correspondents on the campaign trail with different political parties. let's start with our political correspondent tom symonds who is on the campaign bus for the conservative�*s. their manifesto is expected to include a pledge on stamp duty. tom, what do you know? what is their assessment of how the campaign last night went for them? i think the issue about d—day is still very much in the forefront of the storytelling of the conservative campaign in the last 2a hours was a really bad day for rishi sunak. there will be views at the top and the bottom of the party about what has happened and the damage that has done to the campaign. we heard from penny mordaunt there about what happened was completely wrong, she said. we went to a rally last night that rishi sunak did at a football club in which year —— in wiltshire. they had to be said that the atmosphere was a little flat. they wanted to show support from local activists and conservative supporters and i don't think he will have lost many votes there. he was heckled by a gp in the audience which i think added to his woes on a very difficult day. i think today we are going to see him move on and try to talk about policy. currently, we are not being promised an interview with the prime minister today which is not an opportunity missed if you like, to put it to him some of those policy points. they're talking about getting rid of stamp duty fords first—time buyers today for properties costing up to £425,000, something that already happens but they are looking at making it permanent. they also talking about drivers, again. this is something that worked pretty well in the axbridge and slip by—election last year. it made a real pitch for being the party that supports drivers. they are talking about getting rid of or rather reversing, not entirely clear what that means, getting rid of the ulez scheme in london. making it a requirement to get a referendum when there is a plan to introduce a low traffic neighbourhood, that is when you reduce the ability of cars to move around in a certain area and reduce speed limits. all of that an attempt to win over drivers and constituencies in the country and change the narrative really in this election campaign so far.- change the narrative really in this election campaign so far. tom, for the moment. _ election campaign so far. tom, for the moment, thank— election campaign so far. tom, for the moment, thank you _ election

with the conservative, election campaign bus. 0n is with the conservative, election campaign bus. on to the liberal democrats and they are expected to announce they will create new national parks across england. jenny hill is on their campaign bus what the assessment from the live demo point of view?— demo point of view? well, it's a fairly upbeat _ demo point of view? well, it's a fairly upbeat one _ demo point of view? well, it's a fairly upbeat one and _ demo point of view? well, it's a fairly upbeat one and they - demo point of view? well, it's a fairly upbeat one and they are i fairly upbeat one and they are positive about daisy cooper's performance last night. as you know they are keen to put themselves forward as a party of human beings. they are very keen to emphasise themselves as individual people, normal people, if you like. we saw a bit of that in ed davey�*s video that came out this week that showed him talking about his family life, his responsibilities as a carer for his son, for example. i think that within the party itself, there is a sense that daisy cooper kept that line going last night. there was an interesting moment, ithink, we perhaps mention that question from the lady in the audience about why you promises everything when you want our vote and once you are elected you don't give it to us? in response to that we heard daisy cooper referring to that terrible moment for the liberal democrats when they had to go back in 2010 on their promise of scrapping tuition fees because of their coalition with the conservatives. she said that even then that particular moment in the party's history still haunts them. it was a very difficult time for them. this party knows that they have to keep the trust of the voters and they have to earn the trust of people who once were very committed to them. today we are out and about in west berkshire, as you said, having concentrated on health and social policy during the course of last week. they are turning their attention to what they say is the beautiful countryside and the means to protect it. ahead of the manifesto launch on monday, the liberal democrats today will talk about plans to create three new national parks, they have already identified a few new areas. the chilterns might be a new potential site, for one. another to possibly somerset, possibly northumberland possibly somewhere in dorset. they also pledged to supply 16 million trees, and expensive pledge, something like £45 million they would cost them over the course of five years but they say it is a necessary investment into the environment. we are not allowed to tell you exactly where we are going today or what we are doing but as you know the liberal democrats are very keen to inspire us for the over those of us who are searching for a new hobby. ed davey trying his hand at flower arranging and showing of his ability at drumming. i won't spoil the surprise for you but we are run away to a location where we did the man he is going to try and court new voters. fix, did the man he is going to try and court new voters.— court new voters. a little clue, perhaps! _ court new voters. a little clue,

very court new voters. a little clue, - perhaps! jenny, thank you very much. let's get some more reaction on of the debate last night withjess parker, who is in the newsroom. they are quite unwieldy things that are difficult to chair debates of this size. to what extent do smaller parties get much a compared with labour and the conservatives? 0bviously, labour and the conservatives? obviously, there was that dynamic with angela rayner from obviously, there was that dynamic with angela raynerfrom labour and penny mordaunt from the conservatives actually and stood next to each other. and as the two biggest parties, having it out almostjust between the two of them at points. some of the smaller parties try to make a virtue of saying, look at those guys having a furious row with each other. but i think that was quite an interesting dynamic that happened more than once. in terms of, as you say, a second party debate, it does have the potential to be quite messy but actually, i thought watching it they did trot through lots of different policy areas. the nhs, defence, immigration, and it was interesting because you did here, for example, on immigration, quite clear distinctions between those different parties about their approach to those kinds of issues. clear ideological differences. i think the... to pick out standout moments, i think we've had a couple of debates now, the head to head earlier this week and the one last night. there has been nothing that has been completely wow and do doing the rounds virally on social media but it was that beginning last night and we perhaps knew something like this would happen when it was raised that rishi sunak was leaving those de daisy commemorations early. and penny mordaunt saying that the parameter was done something completely wrong, as she said, in the midst of election campaign, that's not completely normal and i think it shows the gravity of the mistake, that indeed rishi sunak, made in doing that such a political own goal and really quite strident criticism in somebody in his own team. officially, they have been people out on the airwaves as well and saying that at least the prime minister did admit he made a mistake and people backing the work he has done for veterans and he said as well that cares deeply about veg runs —— deeply about veterans too. another big election is taking place across europe. people in italy and slovakia are heading to the polls to elect members of the european parliament. in slovakia, opinion polls suggest the party of the populist prime minister robert fico, who survived an assassination attempt last month, is in the lead. in italy, prime minister georgia meloni's far—right party is predicted to perform well. these are live pictures of voting taking place. a lot of other countries will be voting on sunday. israel has announced that its military has been added to a un list of entities accused of violations against children. the country's un envoy described the decision as �*shameful�*, while israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu called it �*delusional�*. the list — is included in a report due to be submitted to the security council next week. it's also reported to include hamas and palestinianjihad. violations listed include attacks on schools and hospitals and the denial of aid. in gaza, nuseirat refugee camp was attacked again by israeli forces. it comes after a strike on a un school packed with displaced palestinians, in which a number of children were reportedly killed. let's speak to our middle east correspondent, hugo bachega. hugo, tell us more about this list and why it is so significant? this is a list that _ and why it is so significant? this is a list that is _ and why it is so significant? ti 3 is a list that is published every year by the un secretary—general and it contains violations against children, killings of children in conflict and also denial of aid and attacks on schools and hospital. this row started yesterday when the israeli on voice to the united nations leaked the news that the israeli military had been added to the list. but again, there has been criticism of the israeli army because of its tactics in gaza amid mounting civilian casualties. and there has been some strong reaction since this news emerged. last night, the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the un was delusional, that the un had added itself to the blacklist of history. the israeli foreign minister said that this decision would change israel's relation with the un. but there has been also reaction from a spokesman for antonio guterres who said that the methodology of this report is transparent, is well established, and he described this leak by the israeli envoy to the united nations as shocking and unacceptable. againa again a lot of criticism of the israeli military because of the mounting civilian casualties in gaza. just hours before this news emerged, officials in gaza said another un school housing displaced palestinians was attacked by the israeli military and official say three people were killed and the israeli military said that hamas was using this facility base to plan and carry out attacks and this is a frequent accusation by the israeli authorities. critics say that even if that is the case it is difficult to justify attacks that result in huge civilian casualties.- to justify attacks that result in huge civilian casualties. bring it pp-to-date _ huge civilian casualties. bring it pp-to-date on _ huge civilian casualties.

it had taken operational control in this area and it seems now that the military has advanced and reached the coastal part of these region which is known as the philadelphia corridor and it's the

real mix of weather coming up this weekend. some rain, some sunshine, but one thing there won't be much of in the mix is warm weather. now, the warmest weather on friday was found in the east and the south east of england. 21 degrees is actually about right for this time of year 12 in the north of scotland. that is a little below par. and we will keep, generally speaking, below average temperatures for most parts of the uk, not only through the weekend but actually into the start of next week. a feed of cool air from the north. now on saturday morning, we start off with a fair amount of cloud across england and wales and splashes of rain. but much of that clearing southwards skies brightening sunny spells and just the odd shower into the afternoon. similar story for northern ireland. for scotland, there will be a few more showers, some heavy ones, still some wintry ones over the very highest mountains. temperatures in northern scotland, ten or 11 degrees, perhaps 18 or 19, in south wales and southern england. so yes, below average temperatures for most now through saturday night. we'll see cloud and showery rain pushing into scotland, perhaps into northern ireland, much of england and wales holding onto clear skies. and it is going to be a rather chilly night, five degrees there in the centre of cardiff, for example. some spots in the countryside will see temperatures fairly close to freezing, i suspect, for sunday morning. now, on sunday, this little frontal system in the north bringing some showers. this next weather frontjust easing its way in towards northern ireland. that could well bring a spell of more persistent rain as it pushes across south west scotland into northern england as well. to the north of that it is sunny spells and showers to the south of that wales, the midlands down towards the south of england, a decent amount of dry weather, some sunshine, perhaps highs of 19 degrees, whereas further north, just 14, for example, there in glasgow now through sunday nights and into monday, this little frontal system here is expected to ease its way southwards at east with some uncertainty aboutjust how much rain it will bring and how long that will linger across central and eastern parts of england. if rain does linger for any length of time on monday, it really will feel very disappointing indeed. even if you get some sunshine with a scattering of showers, temperatures at best 10 to 17 degrees. and we stick with those rather cool conditions for much of the coming week. and there will be further outbreaks of rain at times. this is bbc news, the headlines... a row is intensifying between israel and the united nations — after the un added the country's military to a list of entities committing violations against children alongside hamas. israel's un envoy leaked the news a week before the list was to be presented to the security council. britain's second televised election debate has brought more criticism of prime minister rishi sunak for leaving the d—day commemorations early on thursday. a conservative party spokeswoman said the move was wrong. taylor swift has performed for tens of thousands of fans in edinburgh in the first uk show of the eras tour. it's the first time the us megastar has toured scotland since 2015. the second televised debate of britain's general election campaign has taken place. representatives from seven parties engaged in a 90—minute discussion on the bbc that was at times fractious. they clashed over the economy, immigration, climate, defence and health care. bbc verify�*s nick eardley has been looking at the main exchanges and fact—checking the claims and counter—claims. yes, there were a lot of claims in the debate last night. a lot to keep our team of fact—checkers busy here at bbc verify. let's start with a claim that's dominated the debate this week. angela rayner and the labour party, keir starmer confirmed this earlier this week, they are going to put up your taxes by £2,000. no we won't. that's a lie. by £2,000 per working household. penny, your government have raised taxes... crosstalk. we have, and we hated putting the taxes up. we've looked at this a lot in the last few days and the figure is misleading because the £2,000 is over four years and the figures the conservatives have used to calculate it are dubious. both the conservatives and labour are promising not to increase income tax, national insurance or vat during the next parliament. obviously there's a lot of politics in this too, but when it comes to the facts, that's where we're at. there was also a big claim that cuts are coming when it comes to public spending, whoever gets the keys to number ten. there's £18 billion of cuts coming down the line agreed to by angela rayner and penny mordaunt. the tories and the labour both know that they're going to cut public sector investment to come, and that's going to have dramatic consequences on the nhs in the devolved nations. let me explain quickly. this figure is based on analysis from the independent institute for fiscal studies. they say that because parties are promising not to put key taxes up or to borrow for everyday spending, and because growth is pretty flat, there just won't be much money to spend. let me show you something else. spending is due to go up a small bit, about 1% in real terms. but because some areas are protected, like health and defence, the unprotected areas likejustice, transport and many other things could face more cuts. that's where the 18—billion figure comes from, from the ifs. let's quickly look at two other claims. firstly, this one. most of those that come in are not directly productive members of the economy. most of those that come in are actually dependents. here's the graphic. you can see that this one isn't accurate. this is the number of visas granted, the amount of them who are dependents is pretty low. it's about a third. finally, there was a claim that defence spending was lower now than it was in the last year of the last labour government in 2009. here are the numbers — that claim from nigel farage is right. as you can see, it was up there in 2010. it's now there a bit down. it's now there, a bit down. there is a lot more of this sort of fact—checking on the bbc news website and we will be here for the rest of the campaign going through all the numbers. nick eardley nick eardley from nick eardley from bbc nick eardley from bbc verify. joining me now is anna gross, political correspondent for the financial times and zoe grunewald, westminster editor at the lead uk. thank you forjoining me. and, what would your assessment be of the debate last night? it was quite a thing to chair. seven politicians are wanting to say, there was a lot of noise as might be, yes, it kind of noise as might be, yes, it kind of substantiated a lot of people because my feelings this week that these debates are quite unsatisfying, because they are quite unsatisfying, because they are quite unsatisfying for people who are trying to tune in and understand a bit more, because people are constantly talking over each other, contradicting each other, their quite edifying stop people who follow politics closely, those trying to see those arguments be explained and clearly, it is quite unsatisfying for them. my takeaway yesterday was that perhaps unsurprisingly, penny mordaunt was really on the back foot from the start. she didn't perform particularly well, and angela rayner managed to make her make to admissions that were fairly damaging for the party, the first being that the tories had presided over wreckage tax rises, she said yes we have, and secondly that rishi sunak leaving d—day celebrations early on thursday was completely wrong. —— wreckage tax rises. 0ne thursday was completely wrong. —— wreckage tax rises. one of the things i thought was interesting about penny's admission there was that she didn'tjust about penny's admission there was that she didn't just say it was completely wrong, she said it was, it had gone against the wishes or had let down mps and cabinet members. given that we know that penny is positioning herself, we believe she is positioning herself, to potentially be a future leader of the conservative party, it was quite interesting to see her distancing herself from rishi sunak in that way. lt herself from rishi sunak in that wa . , ' . herself from rishi sunak in that wa . , , . ., way. it is difficult when a politician _ way. it is difficult when a

service to do that, and that is on all sides. we have seen it from the conservatives and the labour party, these huge numbers that they are claiming our black holes that the other party having their finances, holes that the other party having theirfinances, based on very spurious facts. the reality is, and it can be quite frustrating that when these things are said publicly in debates, you do wonder whether the fact checking that takes place two hours later sometimes, a day later, whether that has enough cut through. the public have already heard the facts, they are already making their decision based on the facts that have been spelt out to them by politicians who they believe they can trust, and if the financial times doesn't have the readership that reaches through to the wider public, you do sometimes wonder that you can reach as many people as you need to have that kind of service. never mind the quality, feel the width. from the financial times and lead uk, thank you very

any of the queue at the moment. —— any autocue at the moment. restrictions on carrying liquids over 100 milliletres in hand luggage are being temporarily reintroduced at some regional airports in the uk from midnight tonight. the change is being made so that improvements can be made to new scanners that had been installed, but it's unclear how long the measure will be in place. let's find out a little bit more about this from simon calder, who is our travel correspondent from the independent. lovely to see you. if you don't know about this, we are going to be truly lost! what are the rules

plot, which would see terrorists taking the ingredients explosives onto an aircraft and mixing them on board. the familiar, very familiar now, 100 millilitre rule was brought in. everything needs to be in a one litre resealable clear plastic bag. five years ago, the then prime minister, borisjohnson, promised british travellers that it is going to be fine, we're going to get new kit at all the major airports, and you'll be able to effectively lead all the stuff in your bag, you won't need to put your laptop and a secretary, and you will be able to take effectively unlimited quantities of liquid. that didn't actually happen in 2022, as it was supposed to. the next deadline was actually this week, the 1st ofjune 2024. so far, only six airports are compliant stop from north to south, they are aberdeen, newcastle, teesside, leeds bradford, southend and here at london city airport. it is over a year they have had the new system in place, you take your cabin bag, you put it through, the security officers are much better place, because they can spend more time studying the people who are coming through rather than just ticking off what they have in their bags stop these fantastic new scanners, effectively medical technology, can look in and see if anything presents a threat. it has been great. but then, last night, suddenly, the department for transport said, right, as from midnight tonight, those 100 millilitre container rules are going to return, even at the airports of the new scanners. effectively, we are going into reverse on aviation security, ratherthan are going

this music in my mind # sayin' it's gonna be all right!# taylor swift playing the first of 17 gigs on the uk leg of her eras tour. she played for three—and—a—half hours as fans danced and sang, and in one case made a proposal of marriage. and swift was careful to thank her scottish fans. edinburgh, look what you've done. you've gone and made me feel so amazing! i before now, no tour in history had $1 billion at the box office. but by the time taylor swift wraps up these concerts in december, she'll have made 2 billion in ticket sales alone. taylor's pulling power was so strong that even those who couldn't afford a ticket gathered outside just to be part of the experience. after the show, the lucky ones who'd made it in gave us their review. so excited, and my voice after this is really sore cos of that much singing. and mum's excited too? mum's very excited. mum's lost her voice as well! it was amazing. incredible. amazing. once in a lifetime. yeah, definitely. best thing in my

talent. bloody gorgeous. love tay—tay! the uk tour culminates with eight nights at wembley stadium, beating a record set by michaeljackson nearly 40 years ago. before then, taylor swift will play another two nights in edinburgh as well as dates in cardiff and liverpool. mark savage, bbc news. hello. a real mix of weather coming up this weekend. some rain, some sunshine, but one thing there won't be much of in the mix is warm weather. now, the warmest weather on friday was found in the east and the south east of england. 21 degrees is actually about right for this time of year 12 in the north of scotland. that is a little below par. and we will keep, generally speaking, below average temperatures for most parts of the uk, not only through the weekend but actually into the start of next week. a feed of cool air from the north. now on saturday morning, we start off with a fair amount of cloud across england and wales and splashes of rain. but much of that clearing southwards skies brightening sunny spells and just the odd shower into the afternoon. similar story for northern ireland. for scotland, there will be a few more showers, some heavy ones, still some wintry ones over the very highest mountains. temperatures in northern scotland, ten or 11 degrees, perhaps 18 or 19, in south wales and southern england. so yes, below average temperatures for most now through saturday night. we'll see cloud and showery rain pushing into scotland, perhaps into northern ireland, much of england and wales holding onto clear skies. and it is going to be a rather chilly night, five degrees there in the centre of cardiff, for example. some spots in the countryside will see temperatures fairly close to freezing, i suspect, for sunday morning. now, on sunday, this little frontal system in the north bringing some showers. this next weather frontjust easing its way in towards northern ireland. that could well bring a spell of more persistent rain as it pushes across south west scotland into northern england as well. to the north of that it is sunny spells and showers to the south of that wales, the midlands down towards the south of england, a decent amount of dry weather, some sunshine, perhaps highs of 19 degrees, whereas further north, just 14, for example, there in glasgow now through sunday nights and into monday, there in glasgow. now, through sunday nights and into monday, this little frontal system here is expected to ease its way southwards at east with some uncertainty aboutjust how much rain it will bring and how long that will linger across central and eastern parts of england. if rain does linger for any length of time on monday, it really will feel very disappointing indeed. even if you get some sunshine with a scattering of showers, temperatures at best 10 to 17 degrees. and we stick with those rather cool conditions for much of the coming week. and there will be further outbreaks of rain at times. live from london. this is bbc news. britain's second televised election debate has brought more criticism of prime minister rishi sunak for leaving the d—day commemorations early, on thursday. conservative cabinet minister, penny mordaunt said the move was wrong. people in italy, slovakia, malta and latvia are voting today for their members of the european parliament, on the third of — four voting days across the european
