changing as a serious issue, it is notjust me for the labour party knocking the tories, what happens as global investors look to our country and think that is not the environment i will invest in now, the stability for strategic thinking, the long—term thinking is necessary for investors in the future and that's why it is really important, as a party political point, business cannot make up is made hotter ones to do the chances are that will not do very well but if they businesses this is the business plan and how we will execute it and everybody understands it is much more likely to succeed and so we need to get to that place of stability in the economy and politics so we are planning for five years and ten years notjust chopping and changing every few months for video priorities. we shall

would be interested in your views. two things about that but i- would be interested in your views. two things about that but i think l two things about that but i think matter. first is whether it is care workers or anybody else, there are quite a number of people who want to get back into the workforce, but are struggling to do so for one reason or another. another example would be people who are all long—term sickness getting back into the workforce. we have a plan for a supported scheme back into work for people, including things like trials. people think they have to be all in or all out. getting companies to give a trial period for a few weeks to someone to see how they get on being back in the work environments. i think there is a lot in this. we went to see siemens, who make the trains, just up the road in crawley. they have asked supported back to work scheme that was really good for people who wanted to come back. some from care, others coming back. some from care, others coming back from illnesses or operations. 0n the question of social care, because this is really important we have a lot of people working in social care who are on fragmented contracts, no well—paid, with no career progression so they can get on and often struggle with their bills, a lot of them leave as a result because the pay is not good enough. they can progress and a lot of them leave to go to the nhs where they can progress. we are constantly leaking people out of social care. if we are licking people out of social care means you can get people out of hospitals because there is not an environment to go back to. we want a fair pay agreement across social care which will be the first national agreement which will put in place these on terms and conditions and progression so you can come into social care and get on. my sister is a care worker so it is something thatis a care worker so it is something that is quite close to home. to recreate the environment where people can come in and feel that they can progress their career in social care. there is a big issue affecting the wider health issues in the future. can i firstly thank you all for your time and your questions. can also say if there is something you wanted to ask or something you wanted to ask or something you want us to think about, if you don't mind getting that through to my team were able to our level best to put through that. if there is anything you want me or rachel or both of us to think about, just put it down in an e—mail or a piece of paper or tell one of my team, we will then try to get back to you with an answer to whatever your question is. 0rjust a point to say what are you going to do about cost of living or i would do this if i were you. thank you very much for your time, thank you for bearing with this, i really appreciate it, and thanks for all you do workwise, as well. n, p, , and thanks for all you do workwise, as well. �* , , ., , ., ,, as well. applause therefore sir keir starmer and _ as well. applause therefore sir keir starmer and rachel— as well. applause therefore sir keir starmer and rachel reeves - as well. applause therefore sir keir starmer and rachel reeves who - as well. applause therefore sir keir i starmer and rachel reeves who have been taking questions from workers at that port in southampton. sir keir really talking about labour because my pledge today, that is more jobs through this national wealth funds. he said that the national wealth fund is crucial in getting investments in ports like the one he is visiting. we also talked briefly about brexit and admitted that the brexit deal, the current deal was botched and is businesses need a better deal. he reiterated that labour does not plan to rejoin the eu. he said the deal at the minute makes life harderfor port workers. let's take it to the campaign trail in scotland. let's go to scotland. the battle between labour and the snp for votes is at its fiercest in glasgow. come with me on a journey through a changing city. glasgow was a labour stronghold for more than half a century but a decade ago there was a dramatic shift. the scottish national party surged and so did support for independence. this was a labour city for years, glasgow. 0h, staunch. and you would have been a labour man? obviously. my dad was a labour man and his dad was a labour man but what they've done is, they've changed their values. and just now, if you're voting for labour, or you're voting for tory, there is no difference. as far as i'm concerned. so you're going to vote snp? without a doubt because i'm scottish and i think it's the only way forward. and i want the best future for my kids. but are those views typical at this election? labour hopes not as it tries to win back all six seats in the city. i've had to pick who i think is the most honest one out of the lot. but i get the impression keir starmer is more genuine. but i would vote labour anyway. but again, they're saying they might put taxes up and all that but i think the country's got the problems regardless of who's in government. it's always been bad. i there's still a lot of things that i are expensive but now it's got ten times worse and you look i on the shelves and you see. these food banks, i never been. to so many food banks in my life. what are you thinking about this election? it's a bit of a riot, so it is. i think the conservatives don't really care much about scotland. neither does labour. scotland's best interests at heart but it's the best out of a bad bunch, right now, snp. so you're going to stick with the snp? yeah, unfortunately. but i'd better go. is this your stop? yeah. thank you so much. have a nice day. i've been on the number 61 for a good couple of hours, now, and all along the route, the same concerns are coming up, about the cost of living, about the health service, about immigration and also about the state of the city. if i had to sum up the mood, i'd say that people are pretty frustrated and unhappy about the way things are going locally and nationally. you can sense that frustration all over glasgow, including here in the cosmopolitan cafe is of the south side. what are you thinking? are you excited about this general election? i'm definitely excited to see the back of the tories. still debate on who to vote for but yeah, excited that hopefully it goes the right way. i decided to change my allegiance to snp for a short time. i really liked nicola sturgeon, a very good leader. but with all that's gone on recently, i'm not very happy with the snp so i'm now reverting to labour. i think the snp are a wee bit. of a disaster, just now, sadly. i don't think it's time - for independence just yet. we've got so much, too many other things to solve. - but do you think scotland should be independent eventually? yes, i do. i'd like that. polls suggest plenty of scots share that view. whether or not labour wins this city, the debate about independence isn't over. james cook, bbc news, glasgow. you can go to the bbc website for a full list of candidates around the country, it has been updated minute by minute by correspondence on the campaign trail. england fans are celebrating a successful start to their team's euro 2024 campaign — a 1—0 win over serbia. tens of thousands of supporters descended on the german city of gelsenkirchen to watch the three lions' opening match. it wasn't an entirely convincing performance, but one england player was particularly impressive. dan roan reports. commentator: england's golden boy! he'd been billed as england's main man, and jude bellingham duly delivered, his goal proving the difference as his side managed a nervy opening win against serbia in gelsenkirchen. i think a win in the first game is massive. that's all that matters. exactly. we've got the three points, no injuries, nothing. - jude's got his goal. it doesn't matter about how you play so long as you win, get out the group and then see what happens from there. among england's stars, none shines brighter than bellingham. and after a dream season with real madrid, he carried on where he'd left off, timing his run to perfection to give his team a flying start, the manager unable to contain his excitement. england seemed in control, but serbia have threats of their own. aleksandar mitrovic proved a handful during his time in the premier league, and the striker almost got the better of the english defence. the favourites were struggling for momentum. the manager turned to jarrod bowen, who quickly made an impression, crossing perfectly for harry kane. commentator: and it's off the bar. but the captain, who'd had a subdued performance, was denied brilliantly by predrag rajkovic. serbia may be ranked 33rd in the world, but here they were matching a lacklustre england side. commentator: 0h, great save, jordan pickford. - dusan vlahovic�*s fierce shot, forcing jordan pickford into action. but england held on, a winning start. but here in germany's industrial heartland, the side had made heavy work of it. and this was far from the convincing performance many fans will have hoped for. we knew it was going to be a tight game. i know there's been a lot of goals in the other games, but i think we try and keep it to our own standards and try and play the opposition that's in front of us and not kind of the theme of the tournament, if you like. so, important that we got off to a start. yeah, so positive inside the camp, but onto the next one. england now top group c, and they know that they'll qualify for the knockout stage if they can beat denmark in frankfurt on thursday. but this was not a vintage performance, and they'll realize they'll need to improve if they're to make a real impact on this tournament. dan roan, bbc news, gelsenkirchen. a bbc investigation has found the greek coastguard has caused the deaths of dozens of migrants in the mediterranean. the deaths are said to have happened over a three—year period. witnesses say they saw nine people deliberately thrown into the water. others are said to have died because they were forced out of greek waters, or taken back to sea. the greek coastguard strongly rejects all accusations of illegal activities. the bbc�*s population correspondent stephanie hegarty has more. gunshot. these are audio recordings of the moment ibrahim's boat reached the greek island of samos after crossing from turkey. he is now a refugee. ibrahim says he was beaten and strip—searched and that the greek coastguard took him and two other men out to sea. he swam to safety, but the other two men died. we've heard allegations of a total of five separate incidents in which people were thrown into the sea by the greek coastguard. in all, nine of them died. in a statement, the greek coastguard strongly rejected all allegations of illegal activities and questioned the veracity of the testimonies we've gathered. but last year another incident was caught on camera by this activist. it could appear any second, any minute. it showed men in masks forcing 12 people, including women and young children onto a greek coastguard vessel. they're then set adrift in a motorless raft, abandoned just outside greek waters. they were found later by a turkish patrol boat and an official investigation by greece is ongoing. the greek authorities didn't agree to be interviewed for this report but we showed this video to a former head of special operations at the greek coastguard. i can see people getting on board the vessel. doesn't seem like it's forceful. can you see any small children? hmm...yes, now i can. that's something that happens, migrants travelling the aegean sea, very often they abandon the children. they don't seem to have the same, um, affection that we have for children. do you have any questions about that video? i don't. a few moments later he spoke to someone who was off—camera in greek. his mic was still recording. in a statement the greek coastguard said they worked tirelessly with the utmost professionalism, a strong sense of responsibility and respect for human life and fundamental rights. stephanie hegarty, bbc news. if you'd like more on that story, you can watch the full bbc documentary called 'dead calm: killing in the med?'. it's now on bbc iplayer. todayis today is a big day for labour in terms of launching its economy week. let's cross live to helen katz, he is travelling with labour. today, labour wanted to push the point that they're going to create manyjobs through a green plan, also the national wealth fund which they claim will use taxpayers money to private investment.— private investment. yes, so they are, as private investment. yes, so they are. as you _ private investment. yes, so they are, as you outlined _ private investment. yes, so they are, as you outlined there, -
