conservative manifesto launch. last night saw four party leaders grilled by a challenging question time audience on bbc one. rishi sunak was asked about the investigation into alleged bets made by two tory candidates as well as the party's director of campaigning and one of his own close protection officers. the prime minister said he was "incredibly angry" and that anyone with connections to him or the conservative party found to have broken gambling rules "should face the full force of the law." the labour leader sir keir starmer was pushed on his previous support for former leaderjeremy corbyn, who he said would have made a "better prime minister" than borisjohnson. sir ed davey of the liberal democrats and the snp'sjohn swinney were also grilled on the nhs, trust and past promises. but it was the prime minister who arguably faced the most challenging questions of the evening on the alleged betting scandal. when asked why those under investigation hadn't been suspended from the party, he said they would be "booted out" if they were found to have broken the law. our political correspondent damian grammaticas reports. rishi sunak arrived in york knowing tough questions were coming. allegations two conservative candidates, plus the party's director of campaigning — who's married to one of them — may have been betting at the election, and on the election, and the gambling commission looking into it all. like you, i was incredibly angry — incredibly angry — to learn of these allegations. given that, he was asked why he hasn't suspended the candidates. but what i can tell you is if anyone is found to have broken the rules, not only should they face the full consequences of the law — i will make sure that they are booted out of the conservative party. on the issue of quitting the european convention on human rights to get rwanda deportation flights off the ground, he was challenged — that would put the uk in the same club as russia and belarus. i'm going to put our country's national security first every single time, and i make absolutely no apology about that. shame! shame on you! the labour leader, sir keir starmer, entered the arena. he wasn't asked directly about the gambling issue, but turned to it anyway. the first thing is, i want to return politics to service because i think it's got far too much into self—entitlement. look at the gambling stuff that's going on today — politicians who think that making money or self—entitlement is the reason they're in politics. so we need to return it to service. he was asked, when he said jeremy corbyn would make a great prime minister, did he mean it? look, he would be a better prime minister... laughter. well, look what we got. borisjohnson. a man who made massive promises, didn't keep them... 0k, you're still not answering the question. ..and then had to leave parliament in disgrace. did you think he'd make a great — not even just good — a great prime minister? i didn't think we were in a position to win that election. applause. to the snp'sjohn swinney, the question — would he rather see rishi sunak or keir starmer in downing street? i think the conservative government's been a total disaster and a calamity, so it can't be out of office quick enough, in my opinion. applause. i think it's... i think it's an absolute racing certainty that the labour party will win the election in england, and i hope people in scotland will recognise the importance of having strong snp voices in the house of commons who will argue for decisions to be made in scotland for scotland. and for the liberal democrats, sir ed davey questioned — was his manifesto just a wish list, given he had no chance of becoming prime minister? i think we've got great ideas. and i think we've been getting great responses. are you trying to persuade people that you can be prime minister? listen, i'm realistic about our chances, right? we've had three very bad elections — everyone knows that. and when i became leader i said my top priority was to defeat as many conservative mps as possible. so do you think you can or cannot be prime minister? we might as well hear it from you. well... we know what the polls say. it will be challenging, given the polls. 0k. but i don't want to put a ceiling on our ambition. so tough questions all round, but nothing perhaps that will radically change what's happening on the ground in this election. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. deputy labour leader angela rayner was asked on bbc breakfast about sir keir starmer�*s response when pushed on his previous support for the former leaderjeremy corbyn. irate on his previous support for the former leaderjeremy corbyn. we both served in the — former leaderjeremy corbyn. we both served in the shadow _ former leaderjeremy corbyn. we both served in the shadow cabinet - former leaderjeremy corbyn. we both served in the shadow cabinet because| served in the shadow cabinet because we wanted to put an opposition forward to the conservatives. that was our duty to do that and me and keir were both in the 2015 intake and it's fair to say the wheels fell off politics a little bit over the coming years after that and we wanted to put forward a robust case and push for a labour government. and we both tried to do that. but it's also very clear we got hammered in 2019, the british public rejected labour and felt we didn't put a case forward for the country and that's why keir, when he was elected leader, said we can't carry on like this, we have to change the labour party, we have to put a credible costed plan for that can change britain for the better because we have seen the disaster that we have had over the last couple of years under the conservatives. rishi sunak sa s he is under

disappointing 1-1 of the euros after a disappointing 1—1 draw with denmark. the team were booed off the pitch at the end of the game, some pundits said it was an overly defensive and lethargic performance. the england manager, gareth southgate, says the team need to improve ahead of playing slovenia next week. let's speak tojohn watson, our sports correspondent. a lot of criticism aimed at the england team and the england manager. england team and the england manauer. , , , �* , manager. there is indeed, yes. it's a rather fiat — manager. there is indeed, yes. it's a rather flat morning _ manager. there is indeed, yes. it's a rather flat morning here - manager. there is indeed, yes. it's a rather flat morning here after- a rather flat morning here after that largely passive, lethargic display from england and itjust illustrates and underlines where this england team are at at the moment. because there is so much expectation, there is so much belief, notjust amongst expectation, there is so much belief, not just amongst the supporters but among the players and manager gareth southgate that at long last england can finally win some silverware on the biggest stage of all but they keep being undermined by these performances. they are clearly not playing at their best. manager gareth southgate admitting that last night. he is all too aware that the performance wasn't good enough. you wonder where he will turn out because so much has been made about the attacking talents, the likes ofjude bellingham, harry kane, phil foden, these world beaters they have in their team. yet somehow they just don't seem to be gelling. i guess the one positive element to all of this is that england are still very well—placed to qualify with four points, one more match to come in the group and they should still safely secure their way out of the group. it's the performances that are the worrying thing and that's something gareth southgate will have to address and i think that's why there is largely a large amount of negativity around the display we saw last night. but i guess one thing we should say, the last european championships, england reached the final, losing on penalties to italy. this is the exact same scenario that played out at the last euros. you might remember england won their opening match, then drew their second match against scotland before winning their final big second match against scotland before winning theirfinal big game 1—0 and that's exactly what has played out for england so far and gareth southgate will stress that to his players. i guess what he will hope is that things improve these performances don't continue to follow a downward trend because as is often the case with a lack of confidence there comes a lack of belief and performances can quickly spiral. and he will not want that to happen. but let's remind ourselves, england are still well placed to qualify. england are still well placed to auali . g .,

as expected. do you believe what they were saying, is the he not able to get played together in the way they should be? timer;r to get played together in the way they should be?— they should be? they certainly looked disjointed _ they should be? they certainly looked disjointed and - they should be? they certainly looked disjointed and they - they should be? they certainly i looked disjointed and they looked like gareth southgate had struggled to get a coherent tactical plan together that meant they looked comfortable in the game. there have been a lot of changes to this england squad compared to past ones and i wonder if that is still being worked through. even gareth southgate himself is admitting that playing trent alexander—arnold as a midfielder is an experiment, which when you are in the group stages of atonement you are hoping to go on and win doesn't sound ideal. there is a lot of that framework around how england are playing but i think everyone who has seen them play can see it is not quite working out and that lack of control... and it's something they are going to have to work really hard on because we have got to the point where they need to put in a convincing performance, they need to look much more coherent and that will be on the coaches to improve the situation of the coming days ahead of the final game against slovenia. i5 days ahead of the final game

they have just fallen short in others recently has led to a point where there is great expectation they go and win it. it is a difficult backdrop for gareth southgate. he is expected to deliver something very, very good at this euros even though there are a lot of changes and even though he is still experimenting to a degree. asjohn watson said a moment ago, this second group game, they drew 0—0 against scotland in the last euros, they drew 0—0 against usa in qatar. they have a history of this second game being one where we all come out thinking we are in trouble so we have been here before. because gareth southgate has managed to turn things around and get successful to a degree campaigns in the last two major tournaments, a degree campaigns in the last two majortournaments, he a degree campaigns in the last two major tournaments, he has the credit in the bank that from here on in they can look like a better team. i think given there is an expectation they will be very close to winning this tournament and then you watch the likes of spain and germany who look so cohesive, so together, and they have a great blend of what they are trying to do and how they are carrying it out. you worry there is a lot of work for england to do if they are going to go as far as they want to win this tournament. michael baile , want to win this tournament. michael bailey. good — want to

criminals causing disruption to several hospitals in london has published sensitive data stolen from an nhs blood testing company. the group has been trying to extort money from synnovis since the hack, nearly three weeks ago. they've previously threatened to publish the data unless they got paid. 0ur reporter louisa pilbeam has the latest. 0vernight, cybercriminals responsible for causing major disruption at london hospitals did what they had been threatening. this is qilin's darknet leak site, where they published almost 400 gigabytes of private information stolen from blood—test company synnovis. patient names, nhs numbers, date of births, and what tests they've had are in the vast data dump — now online for free for other hackers to download. it's not known if test results are included in the data. the cyberattack earlier this month was one of the worst in the uk in terms of its impact and harm caused to the public. as well as stealing data, hackers scrambled the company's it systems, causing huge disruption to operations and appointments, as doctors tried to find alternative services — leading to several london hospitals declaring a critical incident, and an urgent appeal launched for blood donors. it's a very serious incident, and it's having a profound effect on quite a lot of patients. it has reduced our capacity to deal with patients — particularly elective patients, rather than emergency patients — and it will take some time to recover that. nhs england say sincejune the 3rd, more than 1,000 planned operations and more than 2,000 outpatient appointments were postponed. qilin usually charge victims a ransom fee to return systems to normal. experts say that would run into tens of millions of pounds. but the publication of this data tells us that, so far, synnovis hasn't paid a ransom. the hackers have claimed the attack was a protest against the uk government not helping out in an unspecified war. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. a friend of the missing british teenagerjay slater says she fears he is in "severe danger" on the spanish island of tenerife after he went missing three days ago. police have refocused their search in the north of the island after "discounting" information which took them south. the 19—year—old flew to the canary islands with friends for a music festival. we can speak to nick garnett live from tenerife. bring us up to what we know so far and where the search is focusing. this is actually the fifth day of searching now. at this time in the morning it is freezing cold where i am. this is the last place that we know where jay slater was because his mobile phone died out of batteries shortly after he was here. this is a mountain pass in the north—west part of tenerife. he had been staying down in the south and had been at a music festival there, got in a car with two people he met, travelled up to this area to a house they were staying in and then early in the morning, at about seven o'clock, eight o'clock in the morning on monday, he walked up the path and was thinking of getting a bus back to where he was staying. he didn't get on the bus, that had gone, and he started to walk. we don't know where he walked to, you may have gone up a mountain path way over there. may have gone up a mountain path way overthere. he may have gone up a mountain path way over there. he may have gone down the road, down towards one village, or he may have gone down another mountain road leading that way. the police have been searching the area behind me. this is a ravine that leads down towards the sea. last night there were helicopters here, there were search and rescue dogs, there were search and rescue dogs, there were search and rescue dogs, there were mountain search and rescue teams. there were local police and fire crews here. in all, about 20, 25 people were searching in this area. that's what's been happening in this area for the last three orfour days happening in this area for the last three or four days now but as yet there has been no sign and nothing they have found has led them to know what happened two days later and where he could have gone. back home in 0swald twizzling lancashire, they put blue ribbons around the trees there as a sign of hope to bring him back home. there were church services as well last night held to think about him as well. his family have come over to tenerife. they have come over to tenerife. they have been around to try to see what they can do. one of the three people in the group that was with jay has been saying she thinks the british search and rescue teams might have more luck and wants them to come out as well. the spanish authorities say they have enough people here, they have the resources, they have drones they can fly when the wind drops a little, but they also have a helicopter and search dogs. hick helicopter and search dogs. nick garnett, thank _ helicopter and search dogs. nick garnett, thank you. _ two weeks today

we can speak to a representative from the institute for government. the latest mrp poll, it doesn't feel that there is one big opposition party potentially in the house of parliament against labour. ., ., , ., ., labour. no, we are used to a situation _ labour. no, we are used to a situation where _ labour. no, we are used to a situation where there - labour. no, we are used to a situation where there is i labour. no, we are used to a situation where there is a i labour. no, we are used to al situation where there is a very obvious lead opposition party which takes on the government and performs the shadow roles. we see that weekly sparring at prime minister's questions and it is pretty obvious now that it is keir starmer who gets to ask a lot of questions and then the in with their questions as the third—largest party. the in with their questions as the third-largest party.— third-largest party. what does it mean for a _ third-largest party. what does it mean for a parliamentary - third-largest party. what does it i mean for a parliamentary democracy do not have a big, solid opposition? we have to remember that one of the reasons why we tolerate the first past the post system, one of its strengths in the way in which we vote, producing these quite disproportional result is that it gives the executive a strong majority in parliament, that is supposed to be a strength of the system, so there is always a possible by—product. but they will be question marks, do they have enough people to serve on the front benches, and we usually do this man to woman marking, they have shadow spokespeople, do they have enough people to fill those shadow roles. there will be questions about the balance of select committees that reflect the make—up of parliament. it has to be said, there isn't in many ways a really big difference between having a majority of 80, which is the majority borisjohnson won in 2019 when we didn't have great concerns about the capacity for parliamentary scrutiny and a much bigger one. 50 for parliamentary scrutiny and a much bigger one.— for parliamentary scrutiny and a much bigger one. so is it bad or not bad for democracy? _ much

difficult if you imagine it is evenly split between conservatives and liberal democrats, who are there because they beat conservative opponents to stop so labour might face a very split opposition. 0ne stop so labour might face a very split opposition. one of the things that has been very notable in recent years is actually how unconcerned the conservatives have been about giving parliament real opportunities for scrutiny. they have been rushing bills through, they have taken on quite big powers on delegated legislation. they have cut parliament out of scrutiny of new trade treaties and things like that. so this coming slightly late to the game of concerns about parliamentary scrutiny and there have been points where some of us have been pointing out that you might be the opposition one day, are you fussed about it? but actually they have been pretty content to allow the executive to be able to control most of its agenda. jill rutter from the institute of government, thank you. hello there. the weather's looking cloudier today for scotland and northern ireland, with outbreaks of rain on the way. for england, it's a different story, with the sunshine that we've had over recent days continuing to beat down. it's been a lovely start in cheshire, and you can see the extent of the morning sunshine here, the early—morning mist and fog patches all clearing out of the way. this thicker cloud out to the west is a weather front and that will be bringing more general outbreaks of rain. now, we've already seen a few patches of rain for northern ireland and west scotland, but it's late morning, into the early afternoon, that we start to see more persistent rain arriving. there could be one or two heavy bursts as well. and towards the end of the day, some of that rain will start to fringe into western wales and south—west england. given the cloud and rain in the west, temperatures high teens to low twenties, feeling 0k. but it's warmer further east in the sunshine, 20 to 24 the top temperatures. it is another day, however, with high or very high levels of grass pollen, and 95% of hay fever sufferers are sensitive to grass pollen, so it could be one of those sneezy kind of days as well. you might find your eyes a bit sore and itchy, too. 0vernight tonight, we'll get some of that rain pushing eastwards into wales and england. so mild night, temperatures 10 to 14 degrees celsius. and for the weekend, well, the dregs of this weather system still with us, still bringing the threat of a few showers on saturday. and although there are weather fronts on the chart for sunday, well, there should be still a lot of dry weather, with some warm spells of sunshine coming through. so saturday, a risk of showers, probably the greatest risk across central and eastern areas of england. one or two of them could be on the heavy side too. much sunnier skies for scotland, and some fine weather for northern ireland through the morning, probably turning a bit cloudier in the west come the afternoon. temperatures — widely, high teens to low twenties, so we're around about average, to an odd degree or so above average, for the time of year. it's on sunday that there's probably the better of the two days of the weekend. any early—morning cloud and spits and spots of rain from that will tend to clear and break. sunny spells becoming widespread. now, temperatures will be a bit higher. quite widely, we're looking at temperatures of between 20 and 24 degrees celsius, which will feel warm in the june sunshine. might get a bit warmer than that as well into the early part of next week, with temperatures potentially peaking at around 27 degrees. however, there will also be a few heavy downpours around, particularly in the north—west, for tuesday. this is bbc news. the headlines: the prime minister says conservatives who have broken betting rules will be "booted out of the party", and face tough legal consequences. two tory candidates, and two other people, are being investigated for alleged bets on when the general election would be held. the united nations has raised an urgent alarm warning over a million people in gaza are currently facing extreme levels of starvation and calls for an immediate ceasefire to prevent looming famine. england manager ed gareth southgate says the team need to improve after they started 201—1 draw denmark yesterday in the euro 2024. the result edge them closer to going through to the next round, though. —— edges them. during last night's question time programme, the four party leaders made claims about public spending, the nhs, immigration, and brexit. the bbc verify team has assessing their comments. here's our correspondent nick eardley. hello. yes, lots for the team to look at last night. let's start off with migration, and this from keir starmer. migration is at record levels at the moment under this government. they've completely lost control and we need to get that number down. we need to get it significantly down. this is people coming into the country with visas — not migrants in small boats — and sir keir starmer was slightly wrong. net migration — which is the number of people arriving minus the number of people leaving — was at a record high last year, you can see it in green there, but it's actually come down a bit. it's still the second—highest on record, but not the highest ever. the labour leader has also said that he will bring levels of net migration down. but this is important context. it's expected to fall anyway. there are different projections — you can see these lines here — but they all involve net migration coming down. experts say that'll happen whoever is in power, partly because of student visas running out and people leaving as a result. next, let's have a look at rishi sunak. he was grilled about the nhs, and his record on waiting times. we haven't made as much progress as i would have liked, but because of the things we are doing, what you have seen over this year is waiting lists are now starting to come down. this is what's happened in england. you can see that waiting lists have gone up over the last few years. and this...is the picture... if we zoom in even more recently, that red dot is when rishi sunak became prime minister. now, you can see the waiting lists are coming down from record highs here, but that progress has stalled in the last few months. and you'll notice that waiting lists in england are still higher than when mr sunak came to power. you also heard rishi sunak say this. there is more money going into the nhs today than there has been in its history, and i'm sure bbc verify, after this debate, will verify that for you. well, yes, we have. and, yes, he's right. this data is from the nuffield trust — the respected health think tank. this year — you can see it in red here — health spending, adjusted for prices, is set to be more than it's ever been — just higher than it was during the pandemic. one thing to bear in mind, though, the charity the king's fund has pointed out that the rate of increase in health spending has slowed under the conservatives, particularly in the austerity years. so this could have been higher. let's look at another claim about the nhs — this time, the nhs in scotland — by the snp leaderjohn swinney. scotland has the best—performing accident—and—emergency system in the united kingdom, and has had for the last ten years. you can see it has gone up in scotland since january 2022, but, yes, for most of the decade in scotland, a smaller proportion of people are waiting more than four hours in a&e compared to england and to wales. finally, let's look at the lib dem leader, ed davey. this is what he said about his party's manifesto. we put forward a very detailed, costed manifesto, and it's got a big health and social care package at the centre. it is true to say that the lib dems are promising a lot of extra cash for the health service, but there are some questions from experts. have a look at this from the nuffield trust again. "the funding proposal appears to be insufficient." that's for their social care plan. secondly, the ifs on the manifesto as a whole — "there are clear risks that their package of tax measures wouldn't raise the money that they claim, which would make it harder to pay for some of those commitments." so, hopefully, that was some useful context about some of the claims made last night. as ever, there is plenty more on the bbc website. the bbc verified team working very hard to verify everything from all parties throughout this campaign. —— bbc verified. let's talk about the conservatives and their campaign so far. let's speak to our correspondent jessica parker, who is with the tory campaign bus. another tough 24 hours for rishi sunak. , ., .., , ., , sunak. yes, of course, we have these four people — sunak. yes, of course, we have these four people being _ sunak. yes, of course, we have these four people being locked _ sunak. yes, of course, we have these four people being locked into - sunak. yes, of course, we have these four people being locked into over i four people being locked into over alleged election betting, including two tory candidates. clearly, that is now a cloud hanging over the conservative campaign. it is not the first cloud that has hung over this conservative campaign. and perhaps rishi sunak who addressed us time —— night during question time debate, he said it was incredibly angry about the allegations and if anyone was found to have broken the rules committee would boot them out of the party and they should face the full consequences of the law. perhaps again today, he will be hoping to try and bring some reset moment. where we are heading is north wales, where rishi sunak is going to be there as part of the launch of the welsh manifesto, conservative welsh manifesto. but for rishi sunak, the challenge here has been throughout the campaign because there have been a series of missteps now. we've got these allegations. is his efforts to try and change the dynamic of this election, change the narrative. and again, you saw last night in a question time debate, he faced a lot of questions, tough questions from the member —— members of the audience on a range of issues and asked whether he was embarrassed to be leading the conservative party. he was asked about his offer for young people, brexit, the nhs. to be fair, all the leaders of the four parties who were there last night faced tough questions from the audience. but i think for rishi sunak as he came out on stage, again, if he was trying to have a big moment or hope for a big upset from the other leaders of the parties, that didn't happen. although it has to be said there were some interesting moments, particularly from the conservative campaign. he also talked about that national service idea which grabbed a lot of headlines early on in the campaign. this idea that 18—year—olds, a minority of whom would do military service and others voluntary work over the course of a year, he was asked in terms of details as to what would happen if somebody didn't want to do that and what penalties they might face and he talked about driver's licences and access to finance, without giving any more detail. so whilst there wasn't necessarily any moments in that debate last night that would have changed the course of the campaign, we did learn some new bits of information in terms of tory policy, although it wasn't particularly fleshed out in that particularly fleshed out in that particular regard. tt is particularly fleshed out in that particular regard.—

are out and about in constituencies across the uk. today, we're taking a closer look at issues affecting two seats. 0ur reporter bethan nimmo is in the constituency of henley and thame. now, it's a battleground between the conservatives and liberal democrats. and kevin fitzpatrick, our reporter in the north west, is the constituency of cheadle, in greater manchester. also a key target for the liberal democrats in the north west, two very interesting places. we will speak to kevin in a moment. henley has always been conservative and is the former seat of borisjohnson, part of the traditional blue wall, but the lib dems are eyeing it up this time. . , ., , , this time. incredible, really. it is seen as one _ this time. incredible, really. it is seen as one of _ this time.

quite memorably, the lib dems managed a photo bomb him when he was speaking to voters. they had a vote —— they had lib dem posters in the background. the fact he has made a visit here perhaps shows they are worried. they do have a huge majority here and if it goes another colour, that will take a huge swing. but if that does happen, it really does show the blue wall is truly crumbling. does show

renting and buying the house. almost london prices, but not london wages. and people are certainly struggling with that as well. . «a certainly struggling with that as well. ., ~', ., certainly

signed an open letter calling on the next government to improve adult social care in england. it urges party leaders to focus on reform and investment in the care system, which supports older and disabled people. 0ur social affairs editor, alison holt, has the details. my mum has dementia. she was diagnosed at the age of 81, about six years ago now. # i've got you under my skin...# nicola's mother, imelda, lives in a care home on the wirral. we visit her pretty much every day. like many with experience of the care system, nicola wants fixing it to be a priority for any new government. with no savings, imelda's council pays for her care, but it doesn't cover the actual cost. nicola and her brother pay a £2,200 top—up each month, so their mum can stay in the place she knows. what keeps me awake at night is the thought that i now won't have enough in my savings pot to pay if i ever need to go into care. and therefore, that financial burden will pass to my children. successive governments, they accept that this is crisis. they accept that this is something that has to be addressed, and yet, they do nothing. hi, brian! today's open letter to politicians underlines just how worried many are about the pressures on the care system, including councils having to juggle underfunding and increasing demand. have you been doing anything today? coffee morning. in south manchester, 59—year—old brian is paying £500 a month towards his four daily care visits. even though he's on benefits, he's now in debt. i'm behind with me gas- and electric and other bills, with paying for the care so much. so, it is stressful, it is a worry, because i've still got to pay- the money back at some point. his uncontrolled tremor stopped him working as an electrician. everybody needs an electrician. i didn't have worries- like this at all, you know? but since i've got poorly and all this, it's like, i they don't care any more. staff shortages are another major problem, but courtney works for a care company that tries to keep workers by doing things differently. she's paid for the hours she's available — not, as often happens, just for time spent with clients. i love the block hours, and now we do above and beyond. so if you have anything over half—an—hour break, if we realise someone needs a bit more attention or they're a bit more lonely, we then get paid to go back and sit with them. for that to happen more widely, councils would need to change how they buy care. the boss of courtney's company wants a national plan. we need to really recognise the skills that this workforce have got and support them to make that difference. but on the flip side, we've got to pay them properly. and nicola is looking for reassurance that whoever forms the new government will take action. what would you say to politicians? prove that you really want to make a difference. have the courage to do something about it. just do yourjob. # so deep in my heart that you are really a

gaza will be facing catastrophic levels of starvation by the middle of next month. israel has been under pressure to allow more aid across the border, and doctors fear the situation will only get worse, especially for young children. we should warn you that from the start of this report, there are distressing images. 0ur correspondentjon donnison sent this from jerusalem. this is what eight months of war in gaza has done to a nine—year—old boy. younis is severely dehydrated and malnourished. ghanina, his mother, is by his hospital bedside in khan younis. translation: my son - was in excellent health before. he was normal, but when he developed his malnutrition and dehydration, he became as you see. for almost a full week, he was too ill and stopped eating and drinking correctly. along the corridor is five—year—old tulla. herfather, ibrahim, tries to offer comfort, but he knows scorching weather, close to 40 degrees, and a lack of clean water have brought his daughter close to death. translation: the situation is getting worse. _ you can't imagine the temperature in our tent, and the water you drink is definitely contaminated, because both old and young are getting sick. and with their houses destroyed, hundreds of thousands of gazans are now living under canvas, with little protection from the scorching sun. getting water, whether it's clean or not, is a daily struggle. long queues form at distribution centres. the un says two thirds of the strip's water and sanitation system, poor at the best of times, has been destroyed. translation: we need - a tremendous international effort to re—establish water and sewage networks. we in khan younis have lost between 170 and 200 kilometres of pipes, which have been completely destroyed, along with the wells and the water tanks. the united nations has warned more than a million gazans are facing the highest level of starvation by the middle ofjuly. the international criminal court prosecutor has accused israel of using starvation as a weapon of war. israel strongly disputes this, and its ministers have denied there is a humanitarian crisis. for younis and his mother, though, it doesn't feel that way. jon donnison, bbc news. as always, you can read more about the war in gaza on the bbc�*s website and through the bbc news app as well. for the last 5,000 years, as the sun rises on the summer solstice and sets on the winter solstice, an ancient spectacle has taken place at stonehenge, in the south west of england. as dawn broke atjust after ten—to—five this morning near salisbury, thousands of people, including druids and pagans, gathered to watch, and news correspondent matt taylor was among them. very good money. they have started to move away now from the stones, but 50,000

birthday today and his wife and family have wished him a very happy birthday by posting this wonderful photo. that is the birthday picture of the moment. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris. hello there. the weather's looking cloudier today for scotland and northern ireland, with outbreaks of rain on the way. for england, it's a different story, with the sunshine that we've had over recent days continuing to beat down. it's been a lovely start in cheshire, and you can see the extent of the morning sunshine here, the early—morning mist and fog patches all clearing out of the way. this thicker cloud out to the west is a weather front and that will be bringing more general outbreaks of rain. now, we've already seen a few patches of rain for northern ireland and west scotland, but it's late morning, into the early afternoon, that we start to see more persistent rain arriving. there could be one or two heavy bursts as well. and towards the end of the day, some of that rain will start to fringe into western wales and south—west england. given the cloud and rain in the west, temperatures high teens to low twenties, feeling 0k. but it's warmer further east in the sunshine, 20 to 2a the top temperatures. it is another day, however, with high or very high levels of grass pollen, and 95% of hay fever sufferers are sensitive to grass pollen, so it could be one of those sneezy kind of days as well. you might find your eyes a bit sore and itchy, too. overnight tonight, we'll get some of that rain pushing eastwards into wales and england. so mild night, temperatures 10 to 1a degrees celsius. and for the weekend, well, the dregs of this weather system still with us, still bringing the threat of a few showers on saturday. and although there are weather fronts on the chart for sunday, well, there should be still a lot of dry weather, with some warm spells of sunshine coming through. so saturday, a risk of showers, probably the greatest risk across central and eastern areas of england. one or two of them could be on the heavy side too. much sunnier skies for scotland, and some fine weather for northern ireland through the morning, probably turning a bit cloudier in the west come the afternoon. temperatures — widely, high teens to low twenties, so we're around about average, to an odd degree or so above average, for the time of year. it's on sunday that there's probably the better of the two days of the weekend. any early—morning cloud and spits and spots of rain from that will tend to clear and break. sunny spells becoming widespread. now, temperatures will be a bit higher. quite widely, we're looking at temperatures of between 20 and 2a degrees celsius, which will feel warm in the june sunshine. might get a bit warmer than that as well into the early part of next week, with temperatures potentially peaking at around 27 degrees. however, there will also be a few heavy downpours around, particularly in the north—west, for tuesday. live from london. this is bbc news. rishi sunak says he's "incredibly angry" to learn of allegations that conservative insiders had been betting on the election date. but what i can tell you is if anyone is found to have broken the rules, not only should they face the full consequences of the law — i will make sure that they are booted out of the conservative party. the former conservative energy minister, chris skidmore, a gang of cyber criminals say they have published sensitive data hacked from a blood testing company used by leading nhs hospitals. the england football manager gareth southgate has admitted his team is falling "a little bit short" of expectations, after drawing 1—1 against denmark at euro 202a. hello, i'm maryam moshiri. welcome to bbc news. two weeks today we will have the results of the general election, and today all the parties are continuing on the campaign trail, with labour in scotland while the conservative party is in wales for the welsh conservative manifesto launch. last night saw four party leaders grilled by a challenging question time audience on bbc one. rishi sunak was asked about the investigation into alleged bets made by two tory candidates as well as the party's director of campaigning and one of his own close protection officers. the prime minister said he was "incredibly angry" and that anyone with connections to him or the conservative party found to have broken gambling rules "should face the full force of the law." the labour leader sir keir starmer was pushed on his previous support for former leaderjeremy corbyn, who he said would have made a "better prime minister" than boris johnson. sir ed davey of the liberal democrats and the snp'sjohn swinney were also grilled on the nhs, trust and past promises. but it was the prime minister who arguably faced the most challenging questions of the evening on the alleged betting scandal. when asked why those under investigation hadn't been suspended from the party, he said they would be "booted out" if they were found to have broken the law. our political correspondent damian grammaticas was watching. rishi sunak arrived in york knowing tough questions were coming. allegations two conservative candidates, plus the party's director of campaigning — who's married to one of them — may have been betting on the election, and the gambling commission looking into it all. like you, i was incredibly angry — incredibly angry — to learn of these allegations. given that, he was asked why he hasn't suspended the candidates. but what i can tell you is if anyone is found to have broken the rules, not only should they face the full consequences of the law — i will make sure that they are booted out of the conservative party. on the issue of quitting the european convention on human rights to get rwanda deportation flights off the ground, he was challenged — that would put the uk in the same club as russia and belarus. i'm going to put our country's national security first every single time, and i make absolutely no apology about that. shame! shame on you! the labour leader, sir keir starmer, entered the arena. he wasn't asked directly about the gambling issue, but turned to it anyway. the first thing is, i want to return politics to service because i think it's got far too much into self—entitlement. look at the gambling stuff that's going on today — politicians who think that making money or self—entitlement is the reason they're in politics. so we need to return it to service. he was asked, when he said jeremy corbyn would make a great prime minister, did he mean it? look, he would be a better prime minister... laughter. well, look what we got. borisjohnson. a man who made massive promises, didn't keep them... ok, you're still not answering the question. ..and then had to leave parliament in disgrace. did you think he'd make a great — not even just good — a great prime minister? i didn't think we were in a position to win that election. applause. to the snp'sjohn swinney, the question — would he rather see rishi sunak or keir starmer in downing street? i think the conservative government's been a total disaster and a calamity, so it can't be out of office quick enough, in my opinion. applause. i think it's... i think it's an absolute racing certainty that the labour party will win the election in england, and i hope people in scotland will recognise the importance of having strong snp voices in the house of commons who will argue for decisions to be made in scotland for scotland. and for the liberal democrats, sir ed davey questioned — was his manifesto just a wish list, given he had no chance of becoming prime minister? i think we've got great ideas. and i think we've been getting great responses. are you trying to persuade people that you can be prime minister? listen, i'm realistic about our chances, right? we've had three very bad elections — everyone knows that. and when i became leader i said my top priority was to defeat as many conservative mps as possible. so do you think you can or cannot be prime minister? we might as well hear it from you. well... we know what the polls say. it will be challenging, given the polls. 0k. but i don't want to put a ceiling on our ambition. so tough questions all round, but nothing perhaps that will radically change what's happening on the ground in this election. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. there has been further reaction from politicians to that question time. deputy labour leader angela rayner was asked on bbc breakfast about sir keir starmer�*s response when pushed on his previous support forformer leaderjeremy corbyn. like keir, we both served in the shadow cabinet because we wanted to put an opposition forward to the conservatives. that was our duty to do that. me and keir were both in the 2015 intake and it's fair to say the wheels fell off politics a little bit over the coming years after that and we wanted to put forward a robust case and push for a labour government. and we both tried to do that. but it's also very clear that we got hammered in 2019, the british public rejected labour and felt we didn't put a case forward for the country and that's why keir, when he was elected as leader, said we can't carry on like this, we have to change the labour party, we have to put a credible, costed plan forward that can change britain for the better because we have seen the disaster that we have had over the last couple of years under the conservatives. the wales secretary david tc davies was asked on the today programme if he was worried about the party's reputation. over allegations tory insiders had been betting on the election date. of course i am. i took a decision when i entered the wales office as secretary of state that i would do two things immediately to set an example. the first was to get rid of the ministerial car. so i've been happily travelling around on the tube ever since, which i don't think is appropriate for all cabinet ministers, by the way, because some of them have more security issues than i do. the second thing i did was to look round, noticed there was alcohol in the building and asked for it all to be removed within 48 hours, for there to be no alcohol to be served at any official welsh office events at all, and for nobody, including, and of course especially myself, to be drinking alcohol at any official functions at any time of the day or night. and that's how i've conducted myself in the last 18 months, two years, in the wales office. there he was answering questions from my colleague mishal husain. live to westminster now, and our political correspondent, david cornock. let's start by talking about rishi sunak and it seems like life is getting harder and harderfor him these days. one problem goes away, or seems to come and another rears its head. . its head. yes, there were uncomfortable _ its head. yes, there were uncomfortable moments| its head. yes, there were | uncomfortable moments i its head. yes, there were - uncomfortable moments i think for all four party leaders in last night's question time but most comfortable inevitably for the prime minister. he was faced with the question of why he hasn't suspended two conservative candidates alleged to have placed bets on the date of the election. his answer was that he would draw a line under it and he would draw a line under it and he would boot out anyone found to have broken the rules, boot them out of the conservative party. but he is still facing questions and will face questions today at the welsh conservative manifesto launch as to why exactly those candidates, being looked into by the gambling commission, why they haven't been suspended and why they are still going into the election as conservative candidates. tellll going into the election as conservative candidates. tell me a little bit more _ conservative candidates. tell me a little bit more about _ conservative candidates. tell me a little bit more about chris - little bit more about chris skidmore. he is a former mp, a former minister. and now he has said he will be voting for labour this time. why? he will be voting for labour this time- why?— he will be voting for labour this time. why? he will be voting for labour this time. wh ? , ., .,, time. why? chris skidmore was the environment _ time. why? chris skidmore was the environment minister _ time. why? chris skidmore was the environment minister who - time. why? chris skidmore was the environment minister who signed . environment minister who signed britain's commitment to net zero emissions by 2050 into law. he was theresa may's junior minister and then did a report for the government on net zero. he resigned as an mp earlier this year because he thought rishi sunak was reneging on those net zero commitments. and the logical conclusion of that we have seen today is that he now says he is going to vote labour because he is not happy with the prime minister's commitment on what he thinks is the great issue of our time. the conservatives hitting back today accusing him of supporting the mayor of london's ultra low emission zone charge for high polluting vehicles, and also saying he is now supporting labour's unfunded commitments, as they see it, on getting to net zero. let's talk a little bit about labour, specifically the campaign trail continuing for sir keir starmer and the concentration is now fully focused on scotland today. very much so, and this is important, clearly, because labour are only defending two seats of the 59 in scotland, but they would hope to gain perhaps a couple of dozen, really, at the expense of the snp. and scotland is crucial really in terms of getting labour elected. keir starmer has been there a lot in recent years focusing today really on research grants, research programmes, and offering, as he would see it, long—term stability. some of the detail being fleshed out for what's in the manifesto but as for what's in the manifesto but as for all the political leaders, it's where he is going and the voters he is targeting as much as the message today. is targeting as much as the message toda . ., ~ is targeting as much as the message toda . ., ,. i, and a reminder, nick robinson continues his series of interviews with the party leaders tonight. he'll be joined by the reform uk party leader nigel farage on panorama. that's at 7pm on bbc one and bbc iplayer. you can see the interview again tonight at 8:30pm on bbc news.

lot of the players stick last night in the last ten or 15 minutes, we just looked bored, really and weren't pushing for a win. once again, i like to think it's not coming from gareth, this conservative mindset of, let's hold back and get the point, that be to get us through. he needs to try a new kind of attacking formation but we have seen it in past tournaments, that's not been the case and even in his press conference yesterday he said he still experimenting with the teams that we would like to think he does that we would like to think he does that the time when we play iceland in friendlies, when we play brazil. those are the times you want to experiment with the team, not while you are in a major tournament. it's a bit concerning to hear those kinds of comments. it's a result... very good team, denmark, we played them in the semifinal of the euros. the same with serbia, the average height of those players was 6—foot. you are going against strong players and not easy

obviously denmark would have the exact same conditions and they are not exactly from a warm climate themselves. i'm not sure if it is just burnout. jude bellingham was playing until fairly recently in the champions league. but for the majority of the other players, they have had at least a couple of weeks rest. it doesn't seem to be that kind of cohesion we have seen. we know there is good morale in the base and that's the one good thing about gareth southgate's management, he has brought a morale boost within the squad where that probably wasn't so much in the era of david beckham, gerard and lampard, they had their rivalries with their clubs so it didn't gel as well. it's hard to say why it is. there is always that psychological pressure. —— gerrard and lampard. it's england and we always expect a good performance. we always expect a good performance. we always say it is coming home... managing expectations including well at the last euros. they have four points and it looks like potentially being top of the group, we could get through. if we do well against slovenia. what do you think about england's prospects for the rest of the tournament given their performance?— the

ok, let's just get a point. final game at the same mindset of, ok, let'sjust get a point. i want to finish top of the group. i think the czech republic might be the team we would face in the last 16 if we finish top but we will see how that pans out with other groups. i would like to see him change the formation, put bellingham in the midfield with declan rice. gordon or eze on the left, and then use a palmer may be if foden is not improving on his performances. switch it up. i think we need to give more service to harry kane, he looks isolated, we need to start stretching the opposition defence more and we are not getting any balls throughout all, or getting anything on target. i really want to see change in the third game against slovenia. i don't want the same formation. trent alexander—arnold, i like him as a player but i don't want to see him in the middle of the park so i would like to see some change there. i would like to see just a strong performance. at the end of

to people across the uk to find out what's important to them and what might win their vote next month. we're in constituencies all over the country and today we're focusing on the big issues for voters in scotland. david wallace lockhart is in greenock in the constituency of inverclyde and renfrewshire west. you have a lot of guests there. talk me through what people are thinking about in the constituency today? we are in about in the constituency today? , are in greenock in the seat of inverclyde and renfrewshire west, currently held by the snp but a strong challenge is coming from scottish labour. an interesting seat to watch at this election. i'm joined by four gas to have all worked for political parties who can give a bit of an insight into what's happening in the campaigns at the moment and what the parties will be hoping for and what they will be doing in these final two weeks up until polling day. we can start with kayleigh quinn who used to work for scottish labour.

work for the snp, lee. the polls are suggesting the snp could face a difficult night on the lith ofjuly. do you think things will play out that way, do you thinkjohn swinney has time to turn things around? it’s has time to turn things around? it's a mixed has time to turn things around? it�*s a mixed bag and there is time to turn things around for stop in this election from the start, it has been labour's election to lose and it's been damage control for everyone else but there is a lot more optimism and you might expect. prospective candidates are knocking on doors and getting the positive message out there because of the manifesto launch earlier in the week, they proved that the snp is sparking its tanks on the labour lawn, going further on nhs funding and further on the cost of in crisis issues. those are the things people are talking about. there is time to turnit are talking about. there is time to turn it around as long as that positive message gets out there. the snp message seems to be that labour will win at uk level anyway so you should vote snp in scotland to keep labour honest. is that a logical line to deploy chris neal i think so, yeah. a lot of people would say labour is not being ambitious enough. when you look at the labour manifesto promises enough. when you look at the labour manifesto promise- enough. when you look at the labour manifesto

that's very much the lib dems tactic in scotland, to focus on key areas. absolutely. i think the party will hold onto the four seats they currently hold and will probably take jo swinson's currently hold and will probably takejo swinson's old seat in dumbartonshire as well. the problem the scottish lib dems have at the moment is that there are not many strong second places to come back from. like labour, the scottish lib dems had a really bad election in 2015 after the coalition years with the tories, it didn't go down well in scotland. a lot of the seats they lost back then, the party is really nowhere at the moment, so they can't win them back at this election. it is more a matter of laying the ground for future gains, is more a matter of laying the ground forfuture gains, i think.

there are other things going on and they are used to having to come up with innovative ways to get into the story. i think ed davey and alex cole—hamilton have both been game for that so if it means falling into the sea or being pictured with animals, children, whatever, it's, bring it on, get us into the media and get people to listen to our message. some have said they think the party doesn't

has taken the decision to end rob page's contract as the men's national team head coach. rob page was appointed the wales interim manager in november 2020 but was given the role on a permanent basis in 2022. during his time in charge he managed the team in the uefa euro 2020 finals and led them to the fifa world cup finals in 2022, theirfirst appearance at a world cup since 1958. in his time in charge they achieve promotion to the top league in the uefa nations league. they have said, the football association of wales chief officer said they would like to thank rob page for their work over the last seven years, firstly is under 21 head coach and then onto the role as wales head coach. this comes after a disappointing run of results for wales and failure to qualify for the euro 2024 championships which are happening right now. more on that story later in the programme. and as always on the bbc news and sport websites. now it's time for the weather with chris fawkes. hello there. the weather's looking cloudier today for scotland and northern ireland, with outbreaks of rain on the way. for england, it's a different story, with the sunshine that we've had over recent days continuing to beat down. it's been a lovely start in cheshire, and you can see the extent of the morning sunshine here, the early—morning mist and fog patches all clearing out of the way. this thicker cloud out to the west is a weather front and that will be bringing more general outbreaks of rain. now, we've already seen a few patches of rain for northern ireland and west scotland, but it's late morning, into the early afternoon, that we start to see more persistent rain arriving. there could be one or two heavy bursts as well. and towards the end of the day, some of that rain will start to fringe into western wales and south—west england. given the cloud and rain in the west, temperatures high teens to low 205, feeling 0k. but it's warmer further east in the sunshine, 20 to 24 the top temperatures. it is another day, however, with high or very high levels of grass pollen, and 95% of hay fever sufferers are sensitive to grass pollen, so it could be one of those sneezy kind of days as well. you might find your eyes a bit sore and itchy, too. overnight tonight, we'll get some of that rain pushing eastwards into wales and england. so mild night, temperatures 10 to 14 degrees celsius. and for the weekend, well, the dregs of this weather system still with us, still bringing the threat of a few showers on saturday. and although there are weather fronts on the chart for sunday, well, there should be still a lot of dry weather, with some warm spells of sunshine coming through. so saturday, a risk of showers, probably the greatest risk across central and eastern areas of england. one or two of them could be on the heavy side too. much sunnier skies for scotland, and some fine weather for northern ireland through the morning, probably turning a bit cloudier in the west come the afternoon. temperatures — widely, high teens to low 205, so we're around about average, to an odd degree or so above average, for the time of year. it's on sunday that there's probably the better of the two days of the weekend. any early—morning cloud and spits and spots of rain from that will tend to clear and break. sunny spells becoming widespread. now, temperatures will be a bit higher. quite widely, we're looking at temperatures of between 20 and 24 degrees celsius, which will feel warm in the june sunshine. might get a bit warmer than that as well into the early part of next week, with temperatures potentially peaking at around 27 degrees. however, there will also be a few heavy downpours around, particularly in the north—west, for tuesday. this is bbc news. the headlines: rishi sunak says anyone with connections to him or the conservative party found to have broken gambling rules should face the full force of the law. four people linked to the prime minister are being investigated for alleged bets on the timing of the general election. the chief constable of northamptonshire police has been found guilty of gross misconduct. he faced allegations he had lied about reaching the rank of lieutenant in the military and he was a military negotiator in haiti. wales have sacked their manager rob page after 3.5 years in charge. he had led his country to the first world cup in 64 years, but he has paid the price for wales's failure to qualify for the euros. during last night's question time programme, the four party leaders made claims about public spending, the nhs, immigration, and brexit. and the recent allegations about alleged insider tory betting on the election. we had a number of claims last night. the bbc verify team has assessing their comments. here's nick eardley. hello. yes, lots for the team to look at last night. let's start off with migration, and this from keir starmer. migration is at record levels at the moment under this government. they've completely lost control and we need to get that number down. we need to get it significantly down. this is people coming into the country with visas — not migrants in small boats — and sir keir starmer was slightly wrong. net migration — which is the number of people arriving minus the number of people leaving — was at a record high last year, you can see it in green there, but it's actually come down a bit. it's still the second—highest on record, but not the highest ever. the labour leader has also said that he will bring levels of net migration down. but this is important context. it's expected to fall anyway. there are different projections — you can see these lines here — but they all involve net migration coming down. experts say that'll happen whoever is in power, partly because of student visas running out and people leaving as a result. next, let's have a look at rishi sunak. he was grilled about the nhs and his record on waiting times. we haven't made as much progress as i would have liked, but because of the things we are doing, what you have seen over this year is waiting lists are now starting to come down. this is what's happened in england. you can see that waiting lists have gone up over the last few years. and this...is the picture... if we zoom in even more recently, that red dot is when rishi sunak became prime minister. now, you can see the waiting lists are coming down from record highs here, but that progress has stalled in the last few months. and you'll notice that waiting lists in england are still higher than when mr sunak came to power. you also heard rishi sunak say this. there is more money going into the nhs today than there has been in its history, and i'm sure bbc verify, after this debate, will verify that for you. well, yes, we have. and, yes, he's right. this data is from the nuffield trust — the respected health think tank. this year — you can see it in red here — health spending, adjusted for prices, is set to be more than it's ever been — just higher than it was during the pandemic. one thing to bear in mind, though, the charity the king's fund has pointed out that the rate of increase in health spending has slowed under the conservatives, particularly in the austerity years. so this could have been higher. let's look at another claim about the nhs — this time, the nhs in scotland — by the snp leaderjohn swinney. scotland has the best—performing accident—and—emergency system in the united kingdom, and has had for the last ten years. you can see it has gone up in scotland since january 2022, but, yes, for most of the decade in scotland, a smaller proportion of people are waiting more than four hours in a&e compared to england and to wales. finally, let's look at the lib dem leader, ed davey. this is what he said about his party's manifesto. we put forward a very detailed, costed manifesto, and it's got a big health and social care package at the centre. it is true to say that the lib dems are promising a lot of extra cash for the health service, but there are some questions from experts. have a look at this from the nuffield trust again. "the funding proposed appears to be insufficient." that's for their social care plan. secondly, the ifs on the manifesto as a whole — "there are clear risks that their package of tax measures wouldn't raise the money that they claim, which would make it harder to pay for some of those commitments." so, hopefully, that was some useful context about some of the claims made last night. as ever, there is plenty more on the bbc website. keir starmer is in scotland today to meet the scottish labour leader anas sarwar. what are the main topics we will hear today from labour in scotland? keir starmer in scotland today, we have seen quite a bit of him to —— as his mission to pick up seats here to get into downing street. he is repeating his promise today he will put scottish labour mps at the heart of government at the uk level and he is here talking about labour's industrial strategy. they say that will create 69,000 jobs across scotland in areas like clean energy, engineering, research. they want to set up ten year budgets for research and investment in innovation type of companies, in order to promote that. they are also promoting a warm homes plan which they say would insulate homes and install things like solar panels. they say this would all create highly skilled jobs and create highly skilled jobs and create economic growth, boosting the budgets for everything else, as well as promoting things like energy efficiency. it is worth noting that labour is officially defending only one seat in scotland for this election. that means they do have plenty of potential targets to regain ground. but in an area like this in the central belt of scotland, it is a textbook example where labour is to win big, big majorities here, but following the independence referendum in 2014, they fell out of power. the snp took they fell out of power. the snp took the majority of seats across scotland and labour in these kind of areas is coming from third place in order to try to retake these seats. because the conservatives have built their own revival on the independence debate. so it is maybe a kind of signal keir starmer�*s ambition coming from areas where labour has come from third, they want to leapfrog both of their rivals to get back into power. it is also a sign of how far back they have to come from in this bid to regain power and the scale of the recovery needed for labour. phil. recovery needed for labour. phil, thank ou recovery needed for labour. phil, thank you very — recovery needed for labour. phil, thank you very much _ recovery needed for labour. phil, thank you very much indeed for that. let's look at what the conservative party are doing on the campaign trail today. just park it is with the conservative party campaign bus. she is on the bus. tell me about what the conservative party are doing today. what the conservative party are doing today-— what the conservative party are doinu toda . ., , doing today. good morning. yes, we are on the conservative _ doing today. good morning. yes, we are on the conservative campaign i are on the conservative campaign bus? me and a bunch of other journalists, rishi sunak the prime minister is not on board here at the moment. but we are heading to the welsh conservative manifesto launch, where we expect to see rishi sunak. 0f where we expect to see rishi sunak. of course, he will no doubt be hoping to talk about the policy offer from the conservatives to wales at this election. but of course, these betting allegations are now hanging over the conservative campaign. and that of course is four people being looked into over alleged election betting, including two conservative candidates. rishi sunak was pressed on this last night during the bbc question time debate discussion he had with audience members where he said he was incredibly angry and he would boot out anybody found to have broken the rules. of course, the problem for rishi sunak is this campaign from the conservatives has been marked by a number of mishaps, missteps. of course, there was the d—day incident where he left those commemorations early and now these commemorate —— and now these allegations as well. and behind in the polls, the conservative party significantly when compared to labour, and the prime minister will be hoping to change the narrative. but when something like this arises following the pattern we have seen so far with the conservative campaign, that makes it more difficult for him. he really probably didn't need something like this to happen now, these allegations. and he will no doubt be continually asked about this. it is not quite clear where this story is going to go at the moment. but it hasn't yet been brought to a conclusive end, so he will no doubt continue to be asked about it. thank ou ve continue to be asked about it. thank you very much _ continue to be asked about it. thank you very much indeed. _ continue to be asked about it. thank you very much indeed. jess - continue to be asked about it. thank you very much indeed. jess is - continue to be asked about it. thank you very much indeed. jess is on - continue to be asked about it. thank you very much indeed. jess is on the conservative campaign bus. and as we mentioned earlier, all the parties are back on the campaign trail. two weeks today friday morning, we will know who will create the next or form the next government. and as you can see here, this is sir keir starmer on the campaign trail. as we mentioned, labour concentrating very much on what is happening in scotland. we also heard the deputy leader angela rayner earlier talking in bbc breakfast challenged on her party's nh has plans, on those comments aboutjeremy corbyn sir keir starmer made yesterday in a question time appearance in the two child benefit cap which has been the subject of questioning for the labour party through the days. let's talk about ed davey as well. no, we are talking about rishi sunak. rishi sunak with the lonely walk up to the cameras. he had a tough time on question time last night. his campaign continues today in wales. and now let's bring you ed davey. he was also grilled yesterday on nhs, his past plans and promises. it has been an interesting few weeks, he has been on the campaign trail and made it super interesting and exciting at least for us journalists watching. i don't know what you guys think at home. let's cross tojenny hill who is with the lib dem campaign. what are we are going to expect today? campaign. what are we are going to exoect today?— campaign. what are we are going to expect today? well, this morning, ed dave has expect today? well, this morning, ed davey has been _ expect today? well, this morning, ed davey has been taking _ expect today? well, this morning, ed davey has been taking part _ expect today? well, this morning, ed davey has been taking part in - expect today? well, this morning, ed davey has been taking part in an - expect today? well, this morning, ed davey has been taking part in an art l davey has been taking part in an art class. he was asked to use charcoal and pastels to create a still life. it was quite a challenge and the art teacher said, she seems rather surprised he did a pretty good job. apparently, ed davey has a fairly good eye for this kind of thing. the focus today is all about dentistry, the lib dems pledging to spend £750 million on fixing what they were described as a dental crisis, making sure everyone has access to nhs dentistry. it is a lot of money, he says it is a fully costed plan and that his is the only real plan to fix that crisis. i suppose today is overshadowed by last night's debate. i think ed davey�*s team and he feels he did a pretty good job. having watched it, ithink he did a pretty good job. having watched it, i think that one of ed davey�*s great strengths is his likeability and his team see that as one of their greatest assets. it is why they have put him front and centre of the campaign. a lot of very personal talk about his own life, his struggle caring for his mother when she was very ill, the fact he lost both his parents to answer early on. the fact he has a son who need significant care. that is the strength. i think where he sometimes runs difficulty, perhaps two particular areas. first, the lib dems have never really entirely got over the issue with tuition fees and that you turn with scrapping tuition fees in coalition with the conservatives. it came up again last night in the debate and people have long memories. people here were students or about come students when that u—turn was made and they still feel betrayed like the lady in the debate last night who said it cost a lot of money, they ended up in a lot of date. he is having to defend that. his defence is he has learned lessons and his party has learnt a lessons and his party has learnt a lesson since. i think one of the issues that is a problem for him is his refusal to answer the question about whether he would go into a coalition with labour. should the numbers end up looking like that would be a viable way forward. he has over the course of the campaign told us he certainly wouldn't go into coalition with the conservatives again. but he was asked about the labour possibility last night again in the debate, it is something he has refused to answer, saying he simply wants to focus on the job in answer, saying he simply wants to focus on thejob in hand. but he and his team know, as do all the parties, the trust is perhaps the most valuable commodity in this particular election.— particular election. jenny, thank ou ve particular election. jenny, thank you very much. _ particular election. jenny, thank you very much, jenny _ particular election. jenny, thank you very much, jenny hill- particular election. jenny, thank. you very much, jenny hill following the lib dem campaign. and a reminder — nick robinson continues his series of interviews with the party leaders tonight. he'll be joined by the reform uk party leader nigel farage on panorama. that's at 7 o'clock on bbc one and bbc iplayer — and you can watch that interview again tonight at 8.30pm, here on bbc news the former general secretary of the subpostmasters' union is answering questions at the post office horizon it inquiry today. george thomson, who ran the national federation of subpostmasters — which represents the vast majority of self—employed subpostmasters — is expected to be asked why the federation didn't do more to look after its members. let's speak to our correspondent azadeh moshiri, who's at the post office inquiry for us this morning. what we expect today? he has already started giving — what we expect today? he has already started giving his _ what we expect today? he has already started giving his testimony. _ what we expect today? he has already started giving his testimony. -- - started giving his testimony. —— what to expect. that is the question victims here and the inquiry have for him. he was general secretary of the union for the macro to commit the union for the macro to commit the nfs p, and he stepped down in 2017. during a period victim is alleged a was going on and that it was by the post office. so a union typically backs the workforce and looks into problems. why didn't that seem to happen here as victims are insisting upon, what does george thomson think? he coming this morning and in his witness statement, has continued to defend and back the horizon it system. not even the former bosses of fujitsu who appeared here earlier this week defended the robustness of the horizon it system. he says it is still robust even today. let me read you some of the quotes from his witness statement on what he said this morning. he said, we have always known the horizon system is systemically robust and is still giving a great service to our clients. only a very small number of users of the horizon system over the last 25 years have claimed a problem. not only that, but he said the media and sir alan bates and the justice for sub—postmasters lions have misrepresented the situation. he had stern words for them as well. he had stern words for them as well. he said, they painted horizon is not fit for purpose and every single mistake made in the post office network is the fault of horizon. he said, this viewpoint is not only factually incorrect, but has damaged the brand and post offices all over the brand and post offices all over the uk. he says the main problem here is the post office didn't give the exact truth to him when it came to remote access, but he still is defending the horizon system overall. you can imagine the reaction from some of the victims here, the former sub—postmasters. sue palmer who is in the room right

chief constable of northamptonshire police has been dismissed for gross mishandling —— gross misconduct after hearing found he lied to get hisjob. he faced after hearing found he lied to get his job. he faced allegation that allegations he lied about his naval career and he was a military negotiator in haiti in the 19805. the allegations came to light when doubt was cast over the falklands war medal nick adderley had worn on his uniform since 2009, despite only being 15 at the time of the conflict. the 3—person panel upheld all the allegations against him following a five—day gross misconduct hearing. he wasn't at the hearing, but has now been told he has been dismissed for gross misconduct after that hearing found he had lied to get hisjob. he was accused by the 3—person panel of displaying sustained, brazen dishonesty. more on that story on the bbc website. a gang of cyber criminals causing disruption to several hospitals in london has published sensitive data stolen from an nhs plus tag —— blood testing company. the group has been trying to extort money since the hacked three weeks ago. they previously threatened to publish the data unless they got paid. our reporter has the latest. overnight, cybercriminals responsible for causing major disruption at london hospitals did what they had been threatening. this is qilin's darknet leak site, where they published almost 400 gigabytes of private information stolen from blood—test company synnovis. patient names, nhs numbers, date of births, and what tests they've had are in the vast data dump — now online for free for other hackers to download. it's not known if test results are included in the data. the cyberattack earlier this month was one of the worst in the uk in terms of its impact and harm caused to the public. as well as stealing data, hackers scrambled the company's it systems, causing huge disruption to operations and appointments, as doctors tried to find alternative services — leading to several london hospitals declaring a critical incident, and an urgent appeal launched for blood donors. it's a very serious incident, and it's having a profound effect on quite a lot of patients. it has reduced our capacity to deal with patients — particularly elective patients, rather than emergency patients — and it will take some time to recover that. nhs england say sincejune the 3rd, more than 1,000 planned operations and more than 2,000 outpatient appointments were postponed. qilin usually charge victims a ransom fee to return systems to normal. experts say that would run into tens of millions of pounds. but the publication of this data tells us that, so far, synnovis hasn't paid a ransom. the hackers have claimed the attack was a protest against the uk government not helping out in an unspecified war. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. a friend of the british teenager missing in tenerife says she fears he is in severe danger. chase later went missing three days ago. police are

place we know where jay was because his mobile phone died out a battery shortly after he was here. this is a mountain pass in the north west part of tenerife. he had been staying in the south and had been at a music festival and got in a car with two people he met, travelled to this area to the house they were staying in and early in the morning at about seven o'clock or eight o'clock in the morning on monday, he walked up the morning on monday, he walked up the path and was thinking of getting a bus back to where he was staying. he didn't get on, and he started to walk. we don't know where he what to do. you may have walked up a mountain path, he may have gone down the road towards one village or he may have gone another mountain road leading that way. the police have been searching the area behind me. and this is a ravine that leads down towards the sea. and last night, there were helicopters here, search and rescue dogs, mountain search and rescue teams, local police and fire crews here. in all, about 20, 25 people were searching in this area. in what has been happening in this area for about three days now, but there has been no sign as yet and nothing has led them to know what has happened to jay and where he could have gone. back home in swat whistle in lancashire, they have put ribbons around the trees is assigned to hope to bring him back home —— oswald twizzle. there was church services as well held to think about him as well. his family have come to tenerife. they have been around try to see what they can do. one of the three people that were in the group that was with jay has been saying she thinks the british search and rescue teams might have more luck and she wants them to come out as well. but the spanish authorities say they do have enough people here. they have the resources, they have drones they can fly when the wind drops a little, but they also have the helicopter as well and the search dogs. the helicopter as well and the search dogs-— the helicopter as well and the search dogs. people awoke this mornin: search dogs. people awoke this morning to _ search dogs. people awoke this morning to a — search dogs. people awoke this morning to a gorgeous - search dogs. people awoke this morning to a gorgeous sunrisel search dogs. people awoke this. morning to a gorgeous sunrise at stonehenge. thousands including druids and pagans gathered to watch and our weatherman matt taylor was there. very good morning. yeah, they've started to move away now from the stones, but 15,000 people were here overnight watching the sunset and then the glorious sunrise this morning. it's a very, very special place to many. and to explain more, i chatted earlier to the arch druid of stonehenge and great britain, rollo maughfling. well, it's so special because it, not only in ancient pre—history, marks the time of recognition of the sunrise at summer solstice, marking the solar year — so the people would change gradually from the hunter—gathering societies that were becoming extinct to the agricultural ones — but this revival in this particular century is... i think history might say, is supporting another change, in which we learn how to survive on the planet from an ecological point of view. wonderful. and what does it mean, then, to celebrate it with so many people? because every walk of life is here this morning. yes. well, it's lovely. in 1989, we petitioned to her majesty queen elizabeth when she was still on the throne, under the ancient custom rights of eisteddfod, to be allowed to hold these gatherings legally because they date back to a time in history, 1189, when king richard i was on the throne, when these gatherings were deemed to have existed since time immemorial — which is a legal definition — and therefore, can exist in perpetuity. so that means, basically, winter and summer solstice is your time to get close to the stones. yes, yes. and what does that mean to you personally? oh, personally, it's absolutely wonderful to see so many lovely people come. and because, for us, we see the divine manifesting in nature. and if you've got shots, i'm sure you have, of the sunrise this morning... we have. ..and the mist and the rest of it, not only is nature absolutely wonderful, but all these people are absolutely wonderful as well. no trouble at all. everybody�*s happy and celebrating. it's terrific. it really was a special occasion. the barriers are now starting to go up behind us. but it was such a wonderful feeling of love, joy, spirituality for those of us here as we watched that sun come up over the horizon just before 10 to 5 this morning — signaled, of course, astronomically the start to summer here in the uk. and what a beautiful start it has been. the sun continues to shine. is the sun shining? let's have the weather with chris. hello there. the weather's looking cloudier today for scotland and northern ireland, with outbreaks of rain on the way. for england, it's a different story, with the sunshine that we've had over recent days continuing to beat down. it's been a lovely start in cheshire, and you can see the extent of the morning sunshine here, the early—morning mist and fog patches all clearing out of the way. this thicker cloud out to the west is a weather front and that will be bringing more general outbreaks of rain. now, we've already seen a few patches of rain for northern ireland and west scotland, but it's late morning, into the early afternoon, that we start to see more persistent rain arriving. there could be one or two heavy bursts as well. and towards the end of the day, some of that rain will start to fringe into western wales and south—west england. given the cloud and rain in the west, temperatures high teens to low twenties, feeling ok. but it's warmer further east in the sunshine, 20 to 24 the top temperatures. it is another day, however, with high or very high levels of grass pollen, and 95% of hay fever sufferers are sensitive to grass pollen, so it could be one of those sneezy kind of days as well. you might find your eyes a bit sore and itchy, too. overnight tonight, we'll get some of that rain pushing eastwards into wales and england. it's a mild night, temperatures 10 to 14 degrees celsius. and for the weekend, well, the dregs of this weather system still with us, still bringing the threat of a few showers on saturday. and although there are weather fronts on the chart for sunday, well, there should be still a lot of dry weather, with some warm spells of sunshine coming through. so saturday, a risk of showers, probably the greatest risk across central and eastern areas of england. one or two of them could be on the heavy side too. much sunnier skies for scotland, and some fine weather for northern ireland through the morning, probably turning a bit cloudier in the west come the afternoon. temperatures — widely, high teens to low twenties, so we're around about average, to

more from this shortly. chief constable of northamptonshire has been sacked after healing found he committed gross misconduct by exaggerating his unable —— naval achievements. sensitive any fish data has been published online. england manager gareth southgate has admitted his team is following a little short of expectations after drawing 1—1 against denmark in euro 2024. hello. two weeks today will have the results of the general two weeks today will have the results of the general election, two weeks today will have the results of the general election, all parties continuing on the campaign trail, labour in scotland, the tory party is in wales for welsh conservative manifesto launch. last night for party leaders were grilled by a question time audience on bbc one. rishi sunak was asked about the investigation into alleged bets made by two tory candidates, as well as the party's director of campaigning, and one of his own close protection officers. the prime necessity was incredibly angry that anyone with connections to him or the conservative party found to have broken gambling rules should face the full force of the law. labour leader sir keir starmer was pushed on his previous support for former leaderjeremy corgan, who he said would have made a better prime minister than borisjohnson. minister than boris johnson. sir ed minister than borisjohnson. sir ed davey of the liberal democrats and the snp'sjohn swinney were also grilled on the nhs, and on party promises. but it was the prime minister who argued the face of the most challenging questions of the evening on the alleged betting scandal. when asked why those under investigation hadn't been suspended from the party he said, they would be booted out if they were found to have broken the law. here is our political correspondent. rishi sunak are in york knowing tough questions were coming. allegations two conservative candidates plus the party's director of campaigning may have been betting on the election. the gambling commission looking into it all. like ou i was commission looking into it all. l age: you i was incredibly commission looking into it all. l as you i was incredibly angry. incredibly angry to learn of these allegations. given that he was asked why he hadn't suspended the candidate? if anyone is found to have broken the rules, not only should they face the rules, not only should they face the full consequence of the law, i will make sure that they are booted out of the conservative party. on the issue of quitting the european convention on human rights to get one that he was challenged that would put the uk in the same club as russia and belarus. i am going to put our country's national security first every single time and i make no apology for that. labour leader sir keir starmer entered the arena. he wasn't asked directly about the gambling issue but turn to it anyway. the first thing is i want to return politics to service, because i think it has got far too much into self entitlement. look at the gambling stat that is going on today. politicians who think that making money for self entitlement is the reason they are in politics. he was asked when he said jeremy corbyn would be a great prime ministers 30 minutes? he corbyn would be a great prime ministers 30 minutes? he would beat a better prime — ministers 30 minutes? he would beat a better prime minister. _ a better prime minister. look at we got. borisjohnson who made massive promises, did not keep them. :, :, :, , them. you did not answer the cuestion them. you did not answer the

position to win that election. snp'sjohn swinney was questioned on whether he would rather see rishi sunak keir starmer in downing street. i think the conservative government has been a disaster and calamity. they cannot be out of office quick enoughin they cannot be out of office quick enough in my view. i think it is an absolute certainty that the labour party will win the election in england and i hope people in scotland will recognise the importance of having strong snp voices in the house of commons who will argue for decisions to be made in scotland for scotland. sir ed davey for the liberal democrats was questioned whether his manifesto was just a wish list given he had no chance of becoming prime minister. i think we have got great ideas. we are getting great responses. dare i

but nothing perhaps that will radically change what is happening on the ground in this election. there has been further reaction from politicians to last night's question time appearances. deputy labour leader angela rayner was asked on bbc breakfast about sir keir starmer�*s response when pushed on his previous support for former leaderjeremy corbyn. like keir starmer, we both sat in the shadow cabinet because we wanted to put an opposition forward to the conservatives, and that was our duty to do that. he and keir starmer are both in the 2015 intake. it is here to say that the wheels fell off politics a little bit over the coming years after that, and we wanted to put forward a robust case and push for a labour government. and we both tried to do that. but it is also very clear that we got hammered in 2019. the british public rejected labour and felt we didn't put a case forward for the country. that is why keir starmer and he was elected leader said we cannot carry on like this, we have to change the labour party, we have to beat a credible costed plan forward that can change britain for the better, because we have seen the disaster that we have had over the last couple of years with the conservatives. welsh secretary was asked on radio four if he is worried about the party's reputation over allegations tory insiders have been betting on the election day? of course i am. i took the decision on the edge office as secretary of state that i would do two things immediately to set an example. the first was to get rid of the ministerial car. i have a happy travelling around on the ever since. but i don't think is appropriate for all cabinet ministers by the way because some have more security issues that i do. the second thing i did was to look round, noticed there was alcohol in the building, ask to be removed within 48 hours, no alcohol to be served at official welsh office events, for nobody including, and especially myself, to be drinking alcohol at any official function at any time of the day or night. those are the things that are important to you. there he is, talking to my colleague on radio four. sir ed davey has continued on the campaign trail today after that appearance on question time last night. he is in harrogate today. that is also our correspondences. what have we seen from sir ed davey today? any more fun and frolicking? yes, a little bit more of that. we have seen sir ed davey�*s artistic side this morning, he has been with art and design students, using charcoals, and some other colours for those who are interested. the art teacher he said, not a bad effort, he has apparently got an eye for this sort of thing. i suppose his team are relieved that last night's question time is behind them. my sense is that sir ed davey is more comfortable out and about on the campaign trail than in front of the campaign trail than in front of the tv cameras in that kind of format. i think you could see he was a little nervous at the beginning of his grilling by the studio audience. my his grilling by the studio audience. my sense also, and it is issued by his team here, is that he had rather won them around by the end of his time. you could see most of the audience smiling. the team here i think seeing ed davey as their greatest asset under campaign trail stock that is why you are those very personal videos about his home life, his childhood, his youth, when he was caring for his mother, the fact that both of his parents died from cancer for example. that both of his parents died from cancerfor example. i that both of his parents died from cancer for example. i think what he wanted to travel with voters, several things stop the first is on tuition fees. people have not necessarily forgiven the lib dems for their u—turn on the decision to scrap tuition fees for students when they were in coalition with the conservatives. it came up last night. ed davey, for his part, in his responses, he has learned a lot of lessons from what happened then, and trying to restore trust is his top priority. he also faces a bit of a problem when it comes to his refusal to answer the question about whether he would go into coalition with a labour government should the numbers work in that direction. it is not something he wants to talk about. we asked them again this morning. he was asked last night. he says he simply wants to focus on the job in hand. we do know he has ruled out a coalition with the conservatives, that was probably to be expected given what happened in that disastrous coalition last time round. trust is obvious that a major issue on the campaign trail. we keep coming across people who say, these politicians turn up, the promise is everything, once they are in power they don't do what they have told us that they would. that is something that they would. that is something that i think ed davey as his team are conscious about. we all know that unless something really dramatic happens he is unlikely to be running the country. that came up in the debate last night. what you are promising in your manifesto, are you just putting it out of thin air because you are able to, you're not meant to be held to account on it? his answer is that the manifesto is the costed, all the man he wants to spend on health and social care, and that it spend on health and social care, and thatitis spend on health and social care, and that it is a solid manifesto, and that it is a solid manifesto, and that he wants to bring pressure to bear on whoever ends up running the country next. thank you. more councils in england could suffer severe financial distress about an injection of funding by the next government if demand and cost do not abate significantly and quickly according to research. the institute for fiscal studies has warned scope for further cuts to services is severely limited for some authorities after more than a decade of financial challenges. let us speak to director of the institute for fiscal studies and co—author of the report. talk me through the main windings of the report. a5 report. as you see, councils and finances have been stretched recently, and thatis have been stretched recently, and that is despite since 2019 there are funding having gone up by more than inflation. part of the impact of austerity in the 20105 and also the fact that any costs and demands are outpacing overall inflation. huge pressures of things like social care services, special educational needs, things like that. counters are under pressure and they are looking ahead. what it looks like is that the next government you already know the finances will be constrained. many unprotected areas could face cuts. councils have been basically silent in the manifestos —— the parties have been quiet on councils and the manifestos. best case scenario is that it is held flat, that means relying on council tax increases. if recent pressures on social care continue to grow, even 5% council tax increases could not be enough to keep pace with those pressures and councils might need to make cutbacks in certain areas. ~ :, need to make cutbacks in certain areas, ~ :, :, :, , , need to make cutbacks in certain areas. :, :, , : areas. what areas is the cutbacks be in? if ou areas. what areas is the cutbacks be in? if you look _ areas. what areas is the cutbacks be in? if

it is harassing cats of the _ in? if you look at the budgets, some it is harassing cats of the 4096, - it is harassing cats of the 40%, 70%, since 2010 for stop things like housing, planning development, youth services, things like that. that is the kind of pressures. it is hard to see where the cutbacks could come from. councils will be looking very hard at where they could make savings. but it is possible more councils could run out of road, meaning that unless these pressures slow down, or that is an injection of funding on top of council tax, we could see more reach the end of their limits. could see more reach the end of theirlimits. birmingham, could see more reach the end of their limits. birmingham, croydon, things like that could become more common in this we see these pressures slow down. what we need from all parties in the election is more honesty about the state of the public finances. add some realism about plans to address that. economists are cold the dismal scientists, but i don't think it is all bad news stop there are things government can do it when funding is constrained. they could, for example, make sure that any new burdens they put on councils, new responsibilities for things like social care, they come with some money attached. councils could be given more powers to raise revenues themselves. councils could also be looking to maximise what they can do with their budget. sometimes that means investing more up front to save money down the line. any councils do have some reserves that. and actually, collaboration between councils, councils work together, they could potentially share resources but also learn from each other. i do not want to be too gloomy, there is hope here as well, but that does require tackling these issues rather than staying silent on it. the campaign trail continues for the political parties and the conservative party is in wales today. let as cross to the conservative party campaign which is in wales. i am at a launch event. these are local members, local activists in north wales with a conservative party is going to be launching its welsh conservative manifesto. we do expect to see... questions hanging over the conservative campaign following recent revelations. for people being looked into over alleged election betting, including two conservative candidates. he was pressed on that, rishi sunak on question time, when he talked to it being incredibly angry and that he would boot out anyone who was found to have broken the rules. i think there are still questions the prime minister will be asked about all of this. when he might want to talk about policy. for the prime minister is just another about policy. for the prime minister isjust another moment about policy. for the prime minister is just another moment where he has been battered around by other events are diverted off talking about policy, the sort of thing is that he wants to be discussing in this election campaign. he would have hoped potentially that last night in the election discussion with audience members, and they were pretty tough on all four party leaders, or maybe today when he is talking about policy, some sort of research moments, to change the narrative around the campaign of the conservatives who continue to lag significantly behind labour in the polls. that is the challenge that has been over the last few weeks for rishi sunak. of course these are fresh allegations, also swelling around the conservative party, making hisjob more difficult in terms of trying to get the political messages out that he might want to. thank you. at 1130 rishi sunak will be talking, we will bring you that life here on bbc news. he will be doing a question and answer session, we will be carrying that live also. another reminder, nick robinson continues his series of interviews for the party leaders tonight. he will bejoined by for the party leaders tonight. he will be joined by reform for the party leaders tonight. he will bejoined by reform uk party leader nigel farage on panorama at seven o'clock on bbc one and bbc iplayer. let as get more on that breaking news story, chief con of northamptonshire police has been found guilty of chief conduct and dismissed, he is said to have lied about his naval achievements, exaggerated his record of service. bring a up to date on what happened stop and what the consequences have been. this is an extraordinary case with some very serious implications, not just for nick adderley battery in policing also. let us start with how this began. it was sparked by a complaint from a member of the public who turned out to be his ex—wife who took issue with the press reports about his naval record. it was described as a chargesheet here, it is difficult to know where to begin in terms of what was described in court as a pattern of lies. the allegations include implying that he served in the falklands war, despite being 15 when the conflict broke out in 1982. nick adderley claims he had attended the prestigious britannia naval college, even though his application was rejected that he had no affiliation with the college. he also said he had been recognised as a military negotiator in haiti the 19805, even though it never visited the country. then there is the issue with his medals, specifically the south atlantic medal, which was awarded to what —— to falklands war veterans, nick adderley has been seen wearing it since around 2009, he claimed he had given it by his brother. and then at this hearing, the gross misconduct hearing, a medical expert claims that it was 110% are fake. as thejudgment was read out, the sanctions were read out by the panel, they described his conduct in stark terms. they said they showed arrogance temerity, reason dishonesty, and that his application contains lie upon lie stop neither nick adderley nor his father gave evidence during the course of the hearing, and nick adderley did not actually attend the conclusion of this hearing today, despite being instructed and directed by that panel chair to do so. he did however read out a statement by his legal counsel, and all the allegations were proven, and he has been dismissed from hisjob. that statement from his legal counsel, in that he apologised to his fellow officers, and said one of the most painful aspects of this case has been the hurt he said that he has caused veterans and their families. the wider implications of this case will be felt beyond his job and the panel noted this will cause serious and lasting harm to the police. thank you for bringing us up to date with that. the former general secretary of the sub—postmaster is the union is answering questions at the post office horizon it inquiry today. george thomson who ran the national federation of sub—postmaster switch represents the vast majority of those self—employed sub—masses is expected to be asked by the federation do more to look after its members. our colleagues at the post office inquiry for us today. what has been said so far? to your point, a union is meant to support the work force when there are problems, and one of the main criticisms is that they did not connect the dots in terms of what was going on, and instead backs the post office and back to the horizon it system. he stepped down in 2017, during a period when victims were alleging a cover—up was taking place. what we have heard this morning from george thompson is something we haven't even heard from the former fujitsu bosses who turned up the former fujitsu bosses who turned up this week. he has defended the horizon it system. he says it is still robust, even today. some of the statements he has made have infuriated, and i not exaggerating, infuriated, and i not exaggerating, infuriated the sub—postmaster sewer here. one said that it adds insult to injury. let me vg some of what has been said. he said we have always known the horizon was a robust system and still giving a great service to our clients. only a very small number of users of the horizon system in the last 20 years have claimed they have a problem. on top of that he has criticised sir alan bates, he has criticised the justice for supposed masters alliance, and the media, he said, in their opinion misrepresenting the situation. he has accepted that the post office did not tell him the truth when it came to the issue of remote access, but he still believes that the horizon it system is an asset to supposed masters. another supposed matter i spoke to said that he believes that this testimony is a disgrace and he has shown absently no sign of any apology for his or their part in the scandal, and the damage that has been done to supposed masters lives. —— sub—postmaster is lives. a short while ago welsh labour launches 2024 election manifesto setting out the party's plans. shadow chancellor rachel reeves also attended the event, let us have a listen to what was said in the speech. gimmicks and reckless promises. tens of billions of pounds of unfunded commitments. today we present labour's alternative here in wales. fully costed, fully funded, and a plan for a stronger wales within a fairer united kingdom. giving wales a stronger voice, respecting devolution, working in partnership, and offering ambition to match that which people all across wales feel that their families, businesses and communities. a manifesto with a laser—like focus on wealth creation full stop notjust in a few cities, but in every part of wales, every part of the united kingdom. growth built on the contributions of the many, from which the many will feel the benefit. thanks to care's leadership we have changed a labour party so that we might have the chance to change our great country for the better. party back in the service of working people with a plan to make you better off. the mandates we seek is a mandate for economic growth, stability, ending the political chaos, getting a tight grip on our nation's finances. investment in all our towns, cities and rural communities. driven by partnership between governments, working people, and business, so that we can lead to some of the new industries of the future, in renewable energy and carbon capture and storage, and artificial intelligence, life sciences. and so we can ensure a stronger future for all of our industries and all of our communities. and so the communities which powered the last industrial revolution can play their part in the next industrial revolution also. and we need reform, reform of our politics. labour is the party of devolution and we will push power out of westminster and work in partnership with the welsh labour government. and reform of ourjobs market. to make work pay with a new deal for working market. to make work pay with a new dealfor working people market. to make work pay with a new deal for working people and market. to make work pay with a new dealfor working people and giving working people the security they deserve to thrive. a new model for growth. with wheels thing a crucial part. five missions for a decade of national renewal. six first steps to point the way to a better wales, and a better britain. cutting nhs waiting lists, smashing the criminal gangs with a new border security commands, cracking down on anti—social behaviour, switching on great british energy, a new publicly owned power champion, recruiting new expert teachers for our state schools. all fully costed, all fully funded, all supported by that key first step, to restore our country's economic stability after the chaos of the tories. that was shadow chancellor rachel reeves in wales. rishi sunak is also in wales. he is talking in wales to the welsh conservatives. let us listen. and to think, labour wales is what sir keir starmer calls his blueprint for britain. let me speak directly to you as your prime minister and as a fellow citizen and issue a warning. our country's future is in danger. i know you are frustrated with our party, frustrated with me, but do not let labour walks into office without scrutinising them, without seeing what their policies would mean for our country and your family security. do you really know what you are going to get with them? a government has to make long—term decisions. but how can labour when they have changed their mind, or claim to have, on nearly every issue. fouryears claim to have, on nearly every issue. four years ago keir starmer ran for labour leader, promising to raise income tax on the top 5% of earners, to abolish universal credits, scrap tuition fees, nationalise utility companies, defend free movement. starmer now says he has changed his mind and all these things. but how can you trust someone who changes their mind on so many fundamental issues? how do you know that if it wasn't politically expedient he would have just changed his mind all over again? his constant u—turn so two things stop that he was wrong before. and that he hasn't even the carriage of his own past lack of convictions. this is a man who tried to overturn the result of the brexiter referendum. who twice urged everyone to make jeremy corbyn prime minister and to ran on a series of pledges to be labour leader that he cynically then abandoned. my friends, because he has such a past, he doesn't deserve to decide your future. to decide yourfuture. i understand of to decide your future. i understand of course why people have their doubts about offering as their support again. the last few years has been really ta. covid, energy price spike caused by the war in ukraine, and we have not got everything right. we have made mistakes. we have not delivered as much as we hoped to. but our economy is now turning a corner. that long painful squeeze on your living standards of the past few years is over. realwages standards of the past few years is over. real wages have been rising for a year now almost and inflation is back to target. when i became prime minister inflation was in double digits, eating away at your pay packets, your savings. i promise to have it and we have done that and more, bring it back to 2%. low inflation, mortgage rates starting to fall and taxes that are now coming down. applause. that is what you need, but to get that you need a conservative government. labour, in contrast, would put up everyone pass my taxes, taking the tax burden to the highest it has ever been. worse than that, they would charge every working family an extra £2000 in higher council tax and other tax rises. can you afford that? can your neighbours? your loved ones? labour will take more of your money every month but we conservatives will make sure that you have more money in your pocket every month. applause. your pocket every month. applause— your pocket every month. applause. , :, :, , applause. they would also bring in anuela applause. they would also bring in angela rayner's _ applause. they would also bring in angela rayner's french _ applause. they would also bring in angela rayner's french style - applause. they would also bring in angela rayner's french style labour| angela rayner's french style labour laws. that would damage our economic recovery and they were quickly keeping to the demands of the union is sending inflation and borrowing straight back up. i warned you, don't fall into labour�*s trap, don't sleepwalk to july to fourth. i know you want to send us a message, but this is not a by—election. it will determine who governs our country for the next five years and potentially much longer. if labour get then they will change the rules so it is much harder to ever get them out. they want to give 16—year—olds are built not because they think a principle that they are adults, but because they think they will vote for them. once they have got power they will change every rule to make sure that they keep pets. we can't let that happen, friends, and it is only we conservatives who can stop it. applause. now i understand that people want to make clear to us, to me, theirfrustration people want to make clear to us, to me, their frustration and people want to make clear to us, to me, theirfrustration and i have heard you don't want to have handed keir starmer and labour are blackjack you cannot get it back. in labour�*s britain, if you work hard and try to set something aside for a rainy day, keir starmer thinks you are ripe for a tax rise. if you have are ripe for a tax rise. if you have a pension labour due that is not as years but something they can read whenever they need the money. if you're a homeowner, liberal who think of making you stand thousands and thousands of pounds a night several changes to your home. as your prime minister i tell you we live in a world of increasing threats. an axis of authoritarian states, russia, china, iran, north korea, are threatening our values, our security and we must show our enemies that this country with our allies will stand strong. that is why i am increasing our investment in defence up to 2.5% of gdp. applause. because now is the time for bold action, not for an uncertain keir starmer as prime minister. labour not only are not matching our commitment to raise defence spending, it is worse than that. the woman keir starmer wants keir starmer to be deputy prime minister of our country and the man he wants to be foreign secretary both voted against our nuclear deterrent, the ultimate guarantee of our security. deterrent, the ultimate guarantee of oursecurity. it deterrent, the ultimate guarantee of our security. it is clear that it is only we conservatives were aaron resolve that you can trust to keep britain safe. applause. there - applause. there is- applause. there is a i applause. - there is a choice applause. _ there is a choice before applausr. — there is a choice before you about britain because my future. i know the future that i want for our country. i want a britain where those who work or keep more of their own money, where people can send their children to state schools that deliver an education as good as anywhere in the western world, where parents can be confident about what their children are being taught at school. i want a country where we can all get the medical treatment we need quickly from a brilliant nhs, where people are encouraged to start a business, where we have a culture of enterprise, where we take advantage of the opportunities of brexit were a new generation though the private security that comes with owning your own home, where parents and families are supported and pensioners have dignity and certainty in old age. i want the country where borders are secure and immigration is under control. a country where we have the confidence of knowing that we are all on the same side, a country built on the values of aspiration, opportunity and security. those are my values. they are this country's values and, friends, they are conservative values. applause. i cannot adequately express what my family and i owed this country. my grandmother came here with very little and i stand before you as our prime minister. in no other country would my story be possible and that is why i will always work as hard as i can for you and everyone. in the next five years if you asked me to continue at your prime minister i will do everything i can to deliver for you. prime minister i will do everything i can to deliverfor you. i want prime minister i will do everything i can to deliver for you. i want to make britain stronger, better, more secure. ours is a great country with a proud past and a bright future. it is our duty, our responsibility to take the bold action that will give you and your family to secure a future that you deserve. that is what we stand for. that is what we are fighting for and together that is exactly what we are going to deliver. applause. thank you. thank you, thank you. right, we have time

fair—minded people will recognise we had a pandemic, a war in ukraine that made some progress difficult. i have been prime ministerforfor 18 months proud of what they've achieved, crucially churning round the economy and starting to cut everyone's taxes. that is the clear choice at this election. continue on the plan that we are all, continue to cut taxes at every stage of their life, or the labour party, who just want to hike up labour party, who just want to hike up everyone's taxes. we have seen that over the last few days, council tax, already one of the biggest bills that most families face, we heard from angela rayner today, it is not their plan to do it for the moment, not right now, but it is coming, mark my words. a future labour government is going to whack up labour government is going to whack up everyone's taxes. i don't want that to happen. i want to continue cutting taxes for everyone, whether it is if you are in work, self—employed, a young couple trying to buy your first home while you are a pensioner with a triple lock plus, the conservatives will cut taxes for you at every stage of your life, thatis you at every stage of your life, that is the choice

well. we have a track record for transport in wales. there is a choice that this election. the labour party having committed to that project and when i was here talking to businesses and people they were so excited that finally funding was available for the project. that funding is only there if the conservative government is re—elected. if keir starmer and the labour party is in charge there will not be that billion pounds investment with all the transformational benefits it will bring. as i said it when i was here, when i announced it at the time, the north wales electrification will

was the economy. inflation was at 11%. that is why i made it a priority to bring inflation down. the day before yesterday we saw that inflation has returned to target. the economy is growing faster than our major partners. taxes are being capped. my point for everyone is don't sleepwalk to the 4th ofjuly. don't let labour walks into office without scrutinising their plans, what it would mean for your family, our country. there is a very clear choice at this election. with a re—elected conservative government your taxes will continue to be cut, giving you and yourfamily your taxes will continue to be cut, giving you and your family the financial security that you want and deserve. if keir starmer is the number ten with a blank cheque, everyone's taxes are going up by a lot. i will fight to the last day of the selection to make sure that doesn't happen. applause. so, i can't do it in welsh... we believe that press conference now. he heard there from the prime minister question is, unsurprisingly, about the alleged betting scandal that surrounds the tory party right now. he reiterated his words from last night from his appearance on question time. he said he was incredibly angry and anyone who is found guilty of betting on the election in any way will be booted out of the party. he talked at length about the conservative party plans in wales and also the outcomes of all the years of labour rule within wales. the manifesto launches happening now. we are hearing plans from the conservatives in wales to bring in various policies such as reversing wheels's controversial 20 men in limit. we will be covering that on our website. let's take you away not from politics and to the world of cyber criminals is causing disruption to several hospitals in london. the group has been trying to extort money from synnovis since the hack, nearly three weeks ago. they've previously threatened to publish the data unless they got paid. our reporter louisa pilbeam has the latest. overnight, cybercriminals responsible for causing major disruption at london hospitals did what they had been threatening. this is qilin's darknet leak site, where they published almost 400 gigabytes of private information stolen from blood—test company synnovis. patient names, nhs numbers, date of births, and what tests they've had are in the vast data dump — now online for free for other hackers to download. it's not known if test results are included in the data. the cyberattack earlier this month was one of the worst in the uk in terms of its impact and harm caused to the public. as well as stealing data, hackers scrambled the company's it systems, causing huge disruption to operations and appointments, as doctors tried to find alternative services — leading to several london hospitals declaring a critical incident, and an urgent appeal launched for blood donors. it's a very serious incident, and it's having a profound effect on quite a lot of patients. it has reduced our capacity to deal with patients — particularly elective patients, rather than emergency patients — and it will take some time to recover that. nhs england say sincejune the 3rd, more than 1,000 planned operations and more than 2,000 outpatient appointments were postponed. qilin usually charge victims a ransom fee to return systems to normal. experts say that would run into tens of millions of pounds. but the publication of this data tells us that, so far, synnovis hasn't paid a ransom. the hackers have claimed the attack was a protest against the uk government not helping out in an unspecified war. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. a friend of the missing teenager in tenerife said they believe he is in grave danger. the 19—year—old flew to the canary islands with friends for a music festival. this is the last place that we know where jay was. his mobile phone went out to battery shortly after it was here. this is the non—trunk —— a mountain pass in the north—west part of tenerife. he had been at a musical festival of tenerife. he had been at a musicalfestival in the of tenerife. he had been at a musical festival in the south and got in a car boot two people he had met, travelled up to this area to a house they were staying in. at seven or eight o'clock in the morning on monday he walked up the path and was thinking about getting a pass back to where he was staying. the bus had gone and he started to walk. we don't know where he walked two. he may have walked up a mountain path over there, down the road down towards one village, orjoin another mountain road that leads down that way. the police have been searching the area behind me. this is a ravine that leads down towards the sea. last night there were helicopters here, search and rescue dogs, mountain search and rescue teams, local police and fire crews. in all, about 25 people were searching in this area. that is what has been happening in this area for three or four days now. as yet, there has been no sign and nothing they have found has led them to know what happened toj. back at his home at lancashire they have put blue ribbons around the trees there is a sign of hope to bring him back home. there were church services last night how to think about him, as well. his family have come over here to tenerife and had been wrong to try to see what they can do. one of the three people in the group that was with jay has been saying that she thinks that the british search and rescue teams might have more luck and wants them to come out, as well. the spanish authorities say they do have enough people here, they do have enough people here, they have the resources, they have dreams to comply with the winch drop a little, and a helicopter and search dogs, as well. england still have work to do to guarantee their place in the knockout stages of the euros — after a disappointing one—all draw with denmark. the team were booed off the pitch at the end of the game —— some pundits said it was an overly defensive and lethargic performance. the england manager, gareth southgate, says the team need to improve ahead of playing slovenia next week. john watson is our sports sorrespondent in frankfurt. he told me about the anger and frustration among england fans. it isa it is a flats morning here after that rather lethargic display from england. it underlines where this england. it underlines where this england team are apt at the moment. there is so much expectation and belief, notjust among the supporters, players and the manager that at long last angling can finally win some silverware on the biggest stage of all, but the keeping undermined by these performances. it was plain to see last night they are clearly not playing at their best. the manager admitted that last night. he is aware that the performance wasn't good enough. you wonder where he will turn now. so much is being made about the attacking talents, the like ofjude bellingham, harry kane, phil foden, yet somehow they don't seem to be gelling. i guess the one positive element to all of this is that england are still well placed to qualify with four points and another match to come in the group. they should safely secure their way out of the group, but it is the performances that are the worrying thing and that is something that gareth southgate is going to have to address and i think that is why there is a large amount of negativity around the display we saw last night. one thing we should say, the last european championship, england reached the final and lost on penalties to italy. this is the same scenario that played out that the last euros. england won their opening match, drew their second match, against scotland, before winning their final group game 1—0. that is something that gareth southgate will stress upon his players. i guess what's he will hope is that things improve and these performances don't continue to follow a downward trend because, as is often the case, with a lack of confidence then comes a lack of belief and performances can quickly spiral. he won't want that to happen. but england are still well placed to qualify. happen. but england are

qualify. thank you. | around 15,000 people were at stonehenge this morning to watch the summer solstice sunrise. the beautiful sunrise is something that druids and pagans and people from thousands of years have been celebrating at the ancient site. now, it is time for a look at the weather. hello there. the weather's looking cloudier today for scotland and northern ireland, with outbreaks of rain on the way. for england, it's a different story, with the sunshine that we've had over recent days continuing to beat down. it's been a lovely start in cheshire, and you can see the extent of the morning sunshine here, the early—morning mist and fog patches all clearing out of the way. this thicker cloud out to the west is a weather front and that will be bringing more general outbreaks of rain. now, we've already seen a few patches of rain for northern ireland and west scotland, but it's late morning, into the early afternoon, that we start to see more persistent rain arriving. there could be one or two heavy bursts as well. and towards the end of the day, some of that rain will start to fringe into western wales and south—west england. given the cloud and rain in the west, temperatures high teens to low 205, feeling ok. but it's warmer further east in the sunshine, 20 to 24 the top temperatures. it is another day, however, with high or very high levels of grass pollen, and 95% of hay fever sufferers are sensitive to grass pollen, so it could be one of those sneezy kind of days as well. you might find your eyes a bit sore and itchy, too. overnight tonight, we'll get some of that rain pushing eastwards into wales and england. it's a mild night, temperatures 10 to 14 degrees celsius. and for the weekend, well, the dregs of this weather system still with us, still bringing the threat of a few showers on saturday. and although there are weather fronts on the chart for sunday, well, there should be still a lot of dry weather, with some warm spells of sunshine coming through. so saturday, a risk of showers, probably the greatest risk across central and eastern areas of england. one or two of them could be on the heavy side too. much sunnier skies for scotland, and some fine weather for northern ireland through the morning, probably turning a bit cloudier in the west come the afternoon. temperatures — widely, high teens to low 205, so we're around about average, to an odd degree or so above average, for the time of year. it's on sunday that there's probably the better of the two days of the weekend. any early—morning cloud and spits and spots of rain from that will tend to clear and break. sunny spells becoming widespread. now, temperatures will be a bit higher. quite widely, we're looking at temperatures of between 20 and 24 degrees celsius, which will feel warm in the june sunshine. might get a bit warmer than that as well into the early part of next week, with temperatures potentially peaking at around 27 degrees. however, there will also be a few heavy downpours around, particularly in the north—west, for tuesday. live from london. this is bbc news the prime minister has set out the conservative ma nifesto for wales. rishi sunak acknowledged voters were feeling frustrated but he said wales had been let down by labour. i know you are frustrated by our party but do not let labour walks into office without scrutinising them. into office without scrutinising them. the chief constable of northamptonshire police, nick adderley, has been sacked after a hearing found he committed gross misconduct, by exaggerating the england manager gareth southgate has admitted his team is falling short of expectations. hello i marry a missionary. last night as question time audience on bbc one. rishi sunak was asked about the investigation into alleged bets made by two tory candidates as well as the party's director of campaigning and one of his own close protection officers. the prime minister said he was; incredibly angry�* and that anyone with connections to him or the conservative party found to have broken gambling rules "should face the full force of the law". the labour leader sir keir starmer was pushed on his previous support for former leader jeremy corbyn, who he said would have made a 'better prime minister�* than borisjohnson. sir ed davey of the liberal democrats and the snp's john swinney were also grilled on the nhs, trust and past promises. but it was the prime minister who arguably faced the most challenging questions of the evening on the alleged betting scandal. when asked why those under investigation hadn't been suspended from the party, he said they would be "booted out" if they were found to have broken the law. our political correspondent damian grammaticas was watching. rishi sunak arrived in york knowing tough questions were coming. allegations two conservative candidates, plus the party's director of campaigning — who's married to one of them — may have been betting on the election, and the gambling commission looking into it all. like you, i was incredibly angry — incredibly angry — to learn of these allegations. given that, he was asked why he hasn't suspended the candidates. but what i can tell you is if anyone is found to have broken the rules, not only should they face the full consequences of the law — i will make sure that they are booted out of the conservative party. on the issue of quitting the european convention on human rights to get rwanda deportation flights off the ground, he was challenged — that would put the uk in the same club as russia and belarus. i'm going to put our country's national security first every single time, and i make absolutely no apology about that. shame! shame on you! the labour leader, sir keir starmer, entered the arena. he wasn't asked directly about the gambling issue, but turned to it anyway. the first thing is, i want to return politics to service because i think it's got far too much into self—entitlement. look at the gambling stuff that's going on today — politicians who think that making money or self—entitlement is the reason they're in politics. so we need to return it to service. he was asked, when he said jeremy corbyn would make a great prime minister, did he mean it? look, he would be a better prime minister... laughter. well, look what we got. borisjohnson. a man who made massive promises, didn't keep them... 0k, you're still not answering the question. ..and then had to leave parliament in disgrace. did you think he'd make a great — not even just good — a great prime minister? i didn't think we were in a position to win that election. applause. to the snp'sjohn swinney, the question — would he rather see rishi sunak or keir starmer in downing street? i think the conservative government's been a total disaster and a calamity, so it can't be out of office quick enough, in my opinion. applause. i think it's... i think it's an absolute racing certainty that the labour party will win the election in england, and i hope people in scotland will recognise the importance of having strong snp voices in the house of commons who will argue for decisions to be made in scotland for scotland. and for the liberal democrats, sir ed davey questioned — was his manifesto just a wish list, given he had no chance of becoming prime minister? i think we've got great ideas. and i think we've been getting great responses. are you trying to persuade people that you can be prime minister? listen, i'm realistic about our chances, right? we've had three very bad elections — everyone knows that. and when i became leader i said my top priority was to defeat as many conservative mp5 as possible. so do you think you can or cannot be prime minister? we might as well hear it from you. well... we know what the polls say. it will be challenging, given the polls. 0k. but i don't want to put a ceiling on our ambition. so tough questions all round, but nothing perhaps that will radically change what's happening on the ground in this election. damian grammaticas, bbc news, westminster. in the last half hour the prime minister took part in an event to launch

cabinet because we wanted to put an opposition forward to the conservatives. that was our duty to do that. me and keir were both in the 2015 intake and it's fair to say the wheels fell off politics a little bit over the coming years after that and we wanted to put forward a robust case and push for a labour government. and we both tried to do that. but it's also very clear that we got hammered in 2019, the british public rejected labour and felt we didn't put a case forward for the country and that's why keir, when he was elected as leader, said we can't carry on like this, we have to change the labour party, we have to put a credible, costed plan forward that can change britain for the better because we have seen the disaster that we have had over here is the wales secretary. of course i am. i took a decision when i entered the wales office as secretary of state that i would do two things immediately to set an example. the first was to get rid of the ministerial car. so i've been happily travelling around on the tube ever since, which i don't think is appropriate for all cabinet ministers, by the way, because some of them have more security issues than i do. the second thing i did was to look round, noticed there was alcohol in the building and asked for it all to be removed within 48 hours, for there to be no alcohol to be served at any official welsh office events at all, and for nobody, including, and of course especially myself, to be drinking alcohol at any official functions at any time of the day or night. and that's how i've conducted myself in the last 18
