we will bring you more from our correspondent outside a hospital in a moment. a leading think tank, the institute for fiscal studies, has accused the main political parties of a "conspiracy of silence" over the economic reality behind plans set out in their election manifestos. the ifs analysed how the policies could impact the public finances and what that could mean for household incomes, public services and taxation. in its scathing assessment it said the parties were "ducking the issues," by relying on faster growth to deliver more tax, which it said was far from guaranteed. it also warned the next government faced having to find new ways to raise taxes, or leave some public services exposed to billions of pounds worth of cuts. this a flavour of what the director of the ifs, pauljohnson, had to say. low growth, high debt, high—interest payments mean we need to do something quite rare over the next few years just to stop debt spiralling ever upwards — we need to run primary surpluses. that means the government needs to collect more in tax and other revenues than it spends on everything. apart from that debt interest bill. that's not necessarily a recipe for a happy electorate, where you're taking more away than you're giving back. as i say, that is a very rare thing for us to achieve or need to achieve. and both parties are committed to the same fiscal target, which is that debt should be falling in five years�* time. that's a loose target. it's looser than any debt target we've had since 2008m we've had since 2008, yet it constrains it, really constrains. taking it seriously, and as far as i can tell, both manifestos do take it seriously will mean the painful choices that we're outlining, none of that are faced up to. with more on this, our economics correspondent andy verityjoins me. we had a short clip there. i heard the full briefing today. it was fascinating. just tell us more about the key takeaway here. the concern is if this is a — the key takeaway here. the concern is if this is a democracy, _ the key takeaway here. the concern is if this is a democracy, is - the key takeaway here. the concern is if this is a democracy, is the - is if this is a democracy, is the electorate actually being told the truth? are the major parties levelling with the electorate and telling them about the economic pressures and fiscal pressures that the government and wider economy faces? the iss says relieving answer is no, they are not. there is a conspiracy of silence and lack of upfront honesty in the political debate between, especially the two major parties. mainly for the reason they claim they will stick to fiscal targets like debt falling as a proportion of the economy five years from now but if you are going to do that you might have to raise taxes. the major parties have ruled that out and said we have these tax locks where they rule out changes to income tax, national insurance vat and corporation tax. that is two thirds up to three quarters of the tax money that rolls on. how are you going to stimulate economic growth without so much money for investment? if you scale back as labour has its green initiative to £5 billion that's not a vast amount compared to the total spending of 1.2 thousand billion pounds. these things have to be put into proportion and most of all, they are saying its key pledges like for example labour saying it will keep child poverty down are to be met, then they have to be real about how you cover them. how you offset the spending you do with taxes. they say actually that's not the case according to manifestos they have seen. they want to, the conservatives want to cut, they said five years ago now they are higher and so there is a real question about the credibility of the political parties, particularly the major party stances with the smaller parties, the lib dems. when you look at the green party or reform party, the background numbers, shrinking the background numbers, shrinking the state by £150 billion, the iss the state by £150 billion, the 155 questions if that's realistic and the greens say they could raise £90 billion through the carbon tax. the ifa says not without boosting the cost of living. there are holes in all their plans.— cost of living. there are holes in all their plans. the 155 were asked about other _ all their plans. the 155 were asked about other areas _ all their plans. the 155 were asked about other areas that _ yet. if borrowing limits change initially. are there other ways in which the two main parties could meet their promises? you which the two main parties could meet their promises?— meet their promises? you could choose to _ meet their promises? you could choose to do — meet their promises? you could choose to do more _ meet their promises? you could choose to do more borrowing. i choose to do more borrowing. although it is high relative to the last 50 years it is not especially high relative to the last 200. close to the size of the value of the economy but with your mortgage you borrow to three times your income. the government does not compare, it was much higher after world war ii saw the kid let that go higher and spend more but that would come with issues, would there be lack of credibility in the government fiscal position? it is by no means certain. let's speak to our correspondent danjohnson who is outside southmead hospital in bristol where the princess is being treated. what is known at this time? all we know officially _ what is known at this time? all we know officially as _ what is known at this time? all we know officially as there _ what is known at this time? all we know officially as there was - what is known at this time? all we know officially as there was some l know officially as there was some incident on princess and's country estate in gloucestershire. yesterday evening while she was walking, we understand and she suffered head injuries, minor injuries the palace says and concussion. we'll emergency services were called, paramedics attended and assessed her and she was then driven here to hospital in bristol, not necessarily the nearest hospital, interesting why she was brought here. she is expected to spend at least a few days you're recovering. the palace says her condition is stable and she has been kept here as much as a precaution as anything. we know her husband was out with her on the estate yesterday. he may be did not witness exactly what happened but was able to escort his wife to hospital here. the statement from the palace gives the best wishes of the king and we know one medical advice princess and's engagements this week have been cancelled. with so many senior royals suffering medical issues at the moment we know she had stepped up the moment we know she had stepped up doing a lot of engagements recently, that will have to cease for the next few days for the next week at least while she continues her recovery. the prime minister has said he is "not aware of any other candidate" being investigated over alleged bets placed on the timing of a general election. four conservatives in total are being looked into by the gambling commission, including two standing in the general election. the former minister tobias ellwood has told the bbc rishi sunak should suspend the candidates involved. 0ur political correspondent harry farley reports. ten days from polling day and rishi sunak, speaking today in scotland, has a major headache over its surprise date and allegations that bets were placed by those in the know. conservative candidates laura saunders and craig williams are being looked into, as well as two other tory officials and a police officer. misss saunders said she would co—operate with the gambling commission. mr williams apologised and said he had made an error ofjudgment. this morning, rishi sunak has been speaking to reporters in edinburgh and asked if he could rule out whether others close to him had placed bets on the election timing, he said he is not aware of any other candidates the gambling commission is investigating, but he did add that the commission does not reveal the names of those it is looking at. and important to remember that the gambling commission investigations are independent, i don't have the details of those, they don't obviously report to me, but i can tell you that we have in parallel conducted our own internal inquiries and we will of course act on any relevant findings or information. today, a former minister has said there is no doubt the existing revelations will cost the conservatives seats. this betting saga has been deeply unhelpful, self—inflicted distraction. and triggered by a few individuals. in what world they thought this was acceptable is beyond belief. should the prime minister have suspended the two l conservative candidates? well, given the scale of this, as we see now, and the potential for this story to continue to eclipse, to overshadow the election, i would now agree. 0pposition parties cannot believe their luck that this is dominating. rishi sunak needs to show some leadership. if these were my candidates, i tell you what, they would be gone, theirfeet wouldn't have touched the floor. there was a bigger argument here about politics, because the first instinct of these tories about the general election is not, "what can we do for our country?" but "let's see if we can make some money." more people than those already known about are being looked into over alleged bets on the election, so the possibility of more names emerging still hangs over this final full week of campaigning. harry farley, bbc news, westminster. live to westminster now and our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. we have had criticism from tobias ellwood and we have just seen sir keir starmer is saying the news the conservative party is conducting a zone inquiries as to not listen to the long grass. it is proving damaging. is there any information likely to emerge before polling day do we know? we likely to emerge before polling day do we know?— likely to emerge before polling day do we know? ~ , ., �* ~ ., ., do we know? we 'ust don't know and if ou think do we know? we just don't know and if you think about _ do we know? we just don't know and if you think about the _ do we know? we just don't know and if you think about the conservative i if you think about the conservative campaign and rishi sunak and how they handle this, that is one of the things which makes it most difficult for them. things which makes it most difficult forthem. i things which makes it most difficult for them. i think that is potentially why rishi sunak started talking about this internal inquiry today. it was perhaps an attempt for him to get a bit more in control of the story. fundamentally, he cannot. it is for the gambling commission to make their own inquiries. as we understand it, they have asked practically every bookmaker that was offering odds on the date of the general election to hand over details of those who placed substantial bets on a july election and they are, the gambling commission, are going through those names and checking for connections to the conservative party. so how long that might take and who might encompass we don't know. what we understand here at the bbc is that they are looking at more names connected to the conservative party than those four names, two candidates and to party officials, those names that have gone public. certainly a concern in the conservative party among candidates i have spoken to wish they could get the campaign back onto the track they wanted to beyond. they are so frustrated, it is the not knowing who might be next and how many people might be next. i5 who might be next and how many people might be next. is it who might be next and how many people might be next.— people might be next. is it clear that the state _ people might be next. is it clear that the state whether - people might be next. is it clear that the state whether there - people might be next. is it clear i that the state whether there would be any police involvement into this? we know a police officer has been suspended and arrested over alleged election date bets but do we know if any conservative party, or is that not clear?— any conservative party, or is that not clear? , ., ., not clear? the way this works and i believe the — not clear? the way this works and i believe the gambling _ not clear? the way this works and i believe the gambling commission | not clear? the way this works and i i believe the gambling commission has only pursued the prosecution of one person before under this particular offence about insider information potential offence, the gambling commission charges them. the police don't necessarily have to get involved. what was distinct, from rishi sunak was not close protection team who has been suspended by the met police, that has been misconduct in public office, we can only assume that's specifically related to the fact that they are alleged to have used information gleaned in the course of their duties as a police officer. the other four are course of their duties as a police officer. the otherfour are being looked at for slightly different offence but we should stress all of those deny wrongdoing and the gambling commission inquiries as far as we know are still at a fairly early stage. as we know are still at a fairly early stage-— early stage. the other ma'or olitical early stage. the other ma'or political event d early stage. the other ma'or political event we i early stage. the other ma'or political event we saw, i early stage. the other major political event we saw, the l early stage. the other major. political event we saw, the ifs think tank that a more detailed breakdown and briefing on the assessment of the party manifestos, focusing on the main two, hasn't been any conservative party reaction to that? it is a question about trust and openness, isn't it? as far as the effort is concerned. principally, those parties which might form a government afterjuly four on the morning ofjuly the 5th. it is an alarm the ifs have been sounding sometime. they have been talking about this conservancy of silence as they put it on tax and economic policy for months but both parties basically reject the premise of the question. in rishi sunak�*s case, he has been speaking recently and says in our manifesto which is fully costed, we say there are £12 billion a year of savings to come from the welfare budget by the fourth and fifth year of the forecasting period and rishi sunak is adamant, though the ifs expressed scepticism, that they can find those savings. 0ur correspondentjessica parker is travelling with the labour party campaign. picking up on the ifs manifesto, the analysis we had this morning, has there been any response we heard today on the labour party? bail have been making their overall points but question is trust and openness, that is what the ifa says, whether the public has been told the full truth about what any party is planning, should they when? the about what any party is planning, should they when?— about what any party is planning, should they when? the main parties bein: should they when? the main parties being accused _ should they when? the main parties being accused of— should they when? the main parties being accused of coming _ should they when? the main parties being accused of coming up - should they when? the main parties being accused of coming up with - being accused of coming up with overly optimistic assessments in terms of their future plans for tax and spend. it was put to sir keir starmer earlier this morning. i think probably before we had the report but we knew already be ifs would come out with this today. paul johnson had been talking already about what they have found thus far. sir keir starmer�*s response when he was asked by reporters about the essays he said he did not accept the proposition that the proposition cannot be better. —— the economy cannot be better. —— the economy cannot be better. i'm not sure that is what the ifs said but that was his take on it, he was asked if he thought people like pauljohnson from the ifs were wrong, he said he does not accept the forecasts that the economy cannot do better than this. look, it is not exactly likely that either the labour party or conservative party are going to hold their hands up and say we totally agree with the ifs on this issue. both insist certainly from the labour party and sir keir starmer, he says his manifesto is fully costed. 0f he says his manifesto is fully costed. of course we are nowjust over one week out from polling day. clearly the parties are going to want to say they can deliver everything they are promising to deliver, should they form the next government. but will pass, a government, a new government re—elected government will be in place after 11th ofjuly, and then those pledges and manifesto promises well, of course be tested in reality. well, of course be tested in

commenting on that? it is interesting clearly the - is commenting on that? it 3 interesting clearly the allegations that are out there, it is a political gift for labour at the moment. what was interesting is sir keir starmer was asked about it in interviews. he also brought it up in a stump speech. we were over at northampton town fc and he came out in front of a crowd of supporters waving placards and quite soon into this stump speech, you often hear political themes and messages repeated but he brought up the fact that rishi sunak today talked about the conservative party conducting its own internal inquiries into what might have happened and sir keir starmer the labour leader, i think you mentioned, he claimed this is an effort to not get into the long grass and delay answers, that is what he was claiming in front of supporters there. i was there at northampton town fc and there was not music, people were chatting, he was getting selfies and activists were keen to speak to him. there was certainly an upbeat mood. in the labour campaign. that is not to say they have not had its hiccups and difficulties. as i say what is going on is a bit of a gift for them and because of the way poles have been and we have to remind ourselves polling day is not untiljuly four and the labour party say they will fight for every vote, there is a mood of optimism i sensed amongst optimists activists today. as the last full week of campaigning gets under way, the dup has launched its manifesto. at the last general election, in 2019, it won eight seats, more than any other party in northern ireland. the manifesto includes pledges to continue pressing for better financial support for northern ireland, and promoting the union. let's listen to some of what the dup leader gavin robinson had to say. we know from our doorstep conversations that our message is getting through and it's resonating. it's clear that voters in every constituency are alive to the big issues of the campaign, and they know that it's teams from this party that are knocking doors and having real engagement. voters can tell the difference between those who have been fighting for them and can win for them and those that can't win and don't care if they splinter the pro—union vote and reduce the number of pro—union mps representing northern ireland in our parliament. the publication of our manifesto marks ten days to polling day. 0n the 11th ofjuly, voters will face a clear choice. the choice made in ten days' time, will determine who will go to parliament and whether they will be representatives, unashamedly making the case for northern ireland, wanting to promote it and doing what is best for it. or will there be representatives who won't go? 0r who will spend their time talking northern ireland down? and make no mistake, the outcome of this election will matter. every vote will count. the democratic unionist party has the strength and the depth to be able to unashamedly make the case for northern ireland. we go to parliament and we make that case on your behalf. and a reminder, nick robinson continues his series of interviews with the party leaders tonight. he'll be joined by the co—leader of the green party adrian that's at 7 0'clock on bbc one and bbc iplayer. throughout the day, we're taking a close look at how this election is playing out in northern ireland. my colleague annita mcveigh is in the titanic quarter, which is in the belfast east constituency. thank you. good to be here in northern ireland. looking at the general election here, all of the issues that matter to people across northern ireland. slightly when today but rather lovely nonetheless and over my shoulder you might be able to see titanic studios. an eight acre site within the titanic quarter, an old shipyard painting hall, six stages, four are in that building. it is attracted business from some of the big hollywood players like paramount, universal, hbo, probably best known for its connection to the worldwide hit game of thrones. who has not heard of that? to creative sector absolutely booming here. it is important for the economy and to listen. as well. what is the connection to the general election and what will the people of this sector likes to see from northern ireland's mps? joining me now is the screenwriter and director declan,

investment coming here in the autumn, £72 million studio ulster. clearly a booming sector but as you heard from declan, he wants the government and mps here to do more to help creatives at a grassroots level. as we mentioned we are in east belfast. if you want to see the candidates,... you'll be able to see a list of all the candidates standing in belfast east at this general election on your screen now. and you can see a list of all the candidates standing in all the constituencies across the country on the bbc news website. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello there. good afternoon. well, we're into the warmest spell of the year so far, and temperatures for many for the first half of this week will be well above the seasonal average. it's also going to feel quite muggy and humid, especially by night. largely dry. a few isolated showers possible at times. and then later on in the week, all change. it will feel fresher. temperatures dip in closer to the seasonal average with some sunshine and some showers. but today for northern ireland and scotland, it's likely to be the warmest day of the week. some of the best of the sunshine, the highest of the temperatures will be for eastern scotland and also for the south east of england. a bit of a sea breeze setting up towards coastal areas. but for southern and western coasts, it's been a misty, murky start to the day. a lot of that cloud lifting some cloud infilling elsewhere. but sunny spells and temperatures widely in the mid 20s in celsius, maybe 28 celsius in the far south east of england. now overnight tonight, then our weather front out towards the west starts to move further southwards and eastwards throwing more clouds and showers into north west scotland and also across northern ireland, too. it's going to feel quite muggy tonight. there will be some more low cloud and mist developing towards coasts and hills. lows of 17 celsius across parts of east yorkshire. tricky for sleeping. and then our cold front continues to push further southwards and eastwards. on tuesday we'll bring some cloud with it. the cloud across the western coast and hills will gradually lift sunny spells developing for many. the best of the sunshine again will be for eastern areas of england and wales. temperatures here could get as high as 28 to 30 degrees celsius. showers across northern england brightening up later across parts of northern ireland and western scotland. and then we look out towards the atlantic once again to see this area of low pressure that's waiting in the wings. and that's going to bring fresher conditions for all eventually. but still some showers, longer spells of rain out towards the north and the west. it's cooler here on wednesday. again, we're keeping those high temperatures out towards parts of england and wales. we could get to 30 degrees celsius maybe in. it's very warm and sticky across the south on wednesday night into thursday. but eventually that humid air will be pushed away towards the east to bring fresher conditions for everyone across the board. so temperatures dip for our capital cities into the weekend. some more sunshine, though, at times, but they. this is bbc news, the headlines: princess anne is recovering in hospital after sustaining a minor head injury and concussion while out walking on her estate. a leading think—tank — the ifs — accuses the main parties of a "conspiracy of silence" over how they'd fund their election pledges on the economy. rishi sunak says he's not aware of any other conservative candidates being looked at for election bets, but said his party would act if an internal investigation found anyone guilty of wrongdoing. a court has heard how a security guard plotted to abduct, rape and murder the tv personality holly willoughby. hope for those living with severe epilepsy as a boy becomes the world's first person to have a skull implant fitted to control seizures. the prime minister hasjoined the current scottish conservatives leader douglas ross to unveil the party's manifesto in scotland. rishi sunak said the election in scotland was a choice between the tories and the snp. both leaders accused the snp of making this a "single issue" election and in effect an "unofficial independence referendum". let's have a listen to what th prime minister had to say. all elections have consequences but this vote in scotland matters so much. it will determine whether we have mps focused on the real priorities of the scottish people or whether the device of constitutional wrangling of the last decade continues —— divisive wrangling. the snp will treat it as a mandate to carry on campaigning for another five years for independence, ignoring your priorities with mps achieving little at westminster. a vote for the scottish conservatives is a vote to put this issue to bed, to move past these tired and stale arguments and to go forward united and together. the labour leader sir keir starmer was in the east midlands today and this is what he had to say on the controversy surrounding the gambling allegations against several tories. it's the middle of an election campaign and rishi sunak needs to show some leadership. these were my campaigners, they would be gone, theirfeet would campaigners, they would be gone, their feet would not have touched their feet would not have touched the floor. there is a bigger argument here about politics because the first instinct of these tories about the general election is not what can we do for the country, but let's see if we can make some money, and that's part of the change that is absolutely vital at the election a week on thursday. as part of our your voice your vote series, throughout the general election campaign so far, we've been asking which issues matter most to you. amongst the many responses we have had are concerns about the environment. our climate editorjustin rowlatt has been to meet one viewer who wanted to talk more about a solar farm project planned for her area. welcome to the front line of the uk's battle to go green. it lies amongst the ancient churches and cosy cottages of the cotswolds, where there are plans for a huge new solar plant. like all the main political parties, except reform, local resident kate o'connor thinks more solar power is a great idea. we're on this beautiful country track there are hedges to the left and right. and you really can't see it at all unless there is a gap. the solar farm would cover 13 square kilometres with 2.5 million solar panels, and create enough electricity for more than a third of a million homes. kate is frustrated by the stand taken by virtually all the candidates locally. the challenge is, on the national level, the two big parties that have the best chance in my constituency say brilliant things about reaching net—zero at the national level. but when it comes to backing a huge project like this, that can actually get us there, they're not interested. they are fighting against it. you don't have to go far to find out why they take that position. i think it is ridiculous. because it's all green fields, not brownfield. and apart from that the size of it is unbelievably big. it would be a few miles long and a few miles wide if you were to put it all together. it would spoil several villages in the area. britain is alreadyl doing really well. i don't think we can sit - on our laurels and say we are doing enough, but it's not that we have to have this solar panel- installation otherwise the - temperature is going to rise by ten degrees. it's just not that urgent. let's find other ways. i my opinion is quite mixed, because we need the renewable energy if we don't face up to the facts. where we put them, that's the difficult one, isn't it? there's nothing exceptional about the cotswolds. solar plants, wind farms and the pylons that carry the power they generate to the grid create similar opposition all over the uk. virtually all of the uk's politicians argue we need more renewables, so the challenge for them — and it is a big one — is how to get local people in places like this to agree to host these projects. justin rowlatt, bbc news. flights from the uk's third—busiest airport, manchester, have resumed after a power cut led to dozens of flights being cancelled yesterday. up to 90,000 passengers were affected, when security systems and baggage screening struggled to come back on—line. our correspondent lauren moss is at the airport and gave us the latest. this affected more than 100 flights yesterday and up to 90,000 passengers. but today, things are running much smoother. i was inside terminal one before and flights are coming and going and landing and leaving all the time. there are one or two cancellations and some of the flights that are leaving are delayed, but on the whole, manchester airport says things are running as planned. some of the people i spoke to add a bit anxious about theirflight people i spoke to add a bit anxious about their flight leaving on the advice is to check before you set off like you usually would but things should be running 0k. the priority really is getting those passengers who didn't fly yesterday and those who are still out of place today to where they need to be and reunited with their baggage. as for compensation, that isn't a straightforward answer because this is what happened yesterday, likely classed as an extraordinary circumstance, the powerfailure is on the airport's property, not a fault of the airline, so passengers are advised to check chat, travel insurance policies and with their operator if they booked a package holiday. it's now more than a week since the british holidaymaker jay slater went missing on the spanish island of tenerife. the 19—year—old vanished after attending a music festival. from the island, fiona trott has the latest. the impression we are getting on the ground is this, it looks like the police searches are less concentrated than they were before. the search is taking place around a holiday home where jay slater went with two men in the early hours of monday morning. is that because they are spreading out and moving away from the mountain are they going to villages like santiago del tada where a woman has contacted police to say they saw someone in the village later that day? we have not seen any police activity there, one man we spoke to said he didn't know anything about the disappearance until posters went up in the village yesterday, and that's another thing we have seen, friends and family putting up posters, during the small things like going down to the bars and holiday resort where jay slater was clubbing last week, putting up posters they are, putting things on social media, even going out to carry out searches of their own. we've seen complete strangers doing that too, people travelling from lancashire where he is from, and london, coming to tenerife. the police say they will not comment on an ongoing investigation so it was very hard for us to tell you how they are operating, how their search is going and how successful they are. what we do know is that lancashire police have offered assistance but the police here say they are happy with the resources that they have. a 12—year—old boy from somerset has become the first person in the world to trial a new form of treatment for epilepsy. oran knowlson, who was having multiple seizures a day, has been fitted with a device inside his skull known as a neurostimulator, sending electrical signals deep in to his brain. our medical editor fergus walsh has been following his progress. just a warning his report contains some images of surgery and seizures. would you like to try using this? you can, but i don't think it wipes off as well, does it?— thank you. oran is 12 years old. he has autism and adhd. ok, mama? yeah? but what is holding him back most is his epilepsy. he's not had a day without seizures since he was three. i had a fairly bright and together three—year—old that, within a few months of seizures commencing, deteriorated rapidly and lost a lot of skills. so, this is a tonic—clonic... oran has multiple seizures day and night. all right, 0k. all right, 0k. some are so severe, he stops breathing. quinn. quinn, baby. i need your help, please. quinn. epilepsy seizures are triggered by abnormal bursts of electrical activity in the brain. these can often be controlled by drugs, but oran's form of epilepsy, known as lennox—gastaut syndrome, is so severe, nothing has helped. every moment of his life is affected because of his epilepsy. is it robbing him of some of his childhood? it's robbed him of all of his childhood, so far. i want oran back. i want the child that — or at least glimmers of the child that i remember, i want some of that back. i want him to find some of himself again. through the haze of seizures, i'd like to get my boy back. it's october 2023. oran is being prepared for major surgery at great 0rmond street hospital in london. he's the first child in the world to trial this device — a neurostimulator which will sit in his skull. we're numberone, right. we'll start with 190. the device will send electrical impulses deep into oran's brain via two electrodes. the leads have to be inserted into the thalamus, a key relay station in the brain for sensory information. screw ready for the plate in due course. the placing of the leads requires millimetre—perfect precision. this study is hopefully going to allow us to identify really whether this is an efficacious treatment for epilepsy and also is looking at a new type of device which is particularly useful in children, because the implant is in the skull and not in the chest. and we hope that that will reduce the potential complications. not easy. after inserting the electrodes, they are carefully connected to the neurostimulator. then the device is placed into a gap cut out of oran's skull and is finally screwed into position. in the coming months, three more patients will undergo the same surgery here at gosh as part of the first ever trial in the uk of this device to treat severe childhood epilepsy. final checks complete, oran's surgery has gone without a hitch. looks pretty spot—on to me. it looks very good, so we're super—happy and that's really great. we now know that we've left him with the leads exactly where we want them to be. so that gives the best chance of the device working and reducing the seizures. a month later, oran and his parents are back at great 0rmond street for his device to be switched on. we are going to the maximum now. slowly, the current is increased to the target level. yeah, it's fine. it's hoped that constant, deep—brain stimulation will block the abnormal electrical signals triggering his seizures. can you reach it? good man, well done. laughter walk on. walk on, good man. and this is oran now. seven months on, it's immediately clear he's more active and independent. now aged 13, epilepsy no longer dominates his life. seizure—wise, we have seen a massive improvement — severity is less and, yeah, he's a happier boy. we haven't had to resuscitate him since you last saw us. and just overall, we're seeing a much better quality of life, i think. and he's happier. sheep. yeah, look. oran's daytime seizures have reduced by 80%. but further improvements are possible, as doctors plan to tailor his device to make it even more responsive to his brain activity. so you're optimistic for the future? very optimistic for the future. i think the great 0rmond street team gave us hope back, which was something we didn't have. now the future looks brighter. oran's family know his treatment is not a cure, but they're optimistic he will continue to emerge from the shadow cast by his epilepsy. fergus walsh, bbc news, somerset. the trial has begun of a man accused of plotting to kidnap, rape and murder the tv presenter holly willoughby. gavin plumb allegedly assembled a kit of tools to commit violence against the former this morning presenter, between 2021 and 2023. he denies the charges. our correspondent helena wilkinson is outside the court in chelmsford. tell us what has happened so far today. tell us what has happened so far toda . , , , ._ tell us what has happened so

day of gavin plumb's trial here at i gavin plumb's trial here at chelmsford crown court. he is sitting on the dock, listening as the prosecutor alison morgan kc is continuing to open the case for the jury, a summary for them to hear. the prosecutor has told jurors that gavin plumb, who was a security guard, had developed an obsession with the television centre holly willoughby and it is also alleged he had assembled a kit of tools to carry out his alleged plan to kidnap, rape and murder holly willoughby —— an obsession with television presenter holly willoughby. the prosecutor said it was notjust the ramblings of a fantasist, he had carefully planned what he would do. miss morgan kc has been telling jurors that gavin plumb had originally spoken to a man online known as mark about his plan in 2021. miss morgan said the defendant told the person known as mark, "i'm going to be living out my ultimate fantasy, i know at the point that fantasy isn't enough any more, i want the real thing." gavin plumb was arrested after an undercover police officer he was exchanging messages with in the united states, unbeknown to gavin plumb, who this man was, and he was arrested soon after that. in those conversations, the prosecutor has told the jury that in that discussion, the defendant explained his plans to kidnap, rape and murder the celebrity holly willoughby. the jury the

officers and an orthodox church priest — have been killed in a series of attacks on police posts, churches and a synagogue. gun battles took place in the predominantly muslim north caucasus republic of dagestan — one of the poorest regions of russia. the apparently coordinated attacks targeted the cities of makhachkala and derbent on the orthodox festival of pentecost. the kremlin has yet to comment, but local authorites suggest they know who is behind the shootings. our russia editor, steve rosenberg has more. gunshots southern russia under attack. in the russian republic of dagestan, gunmen opened fire into cities. they targeted places of worship. this was the synagogue in derbent. security forces battled the insurgents long into the night. by morning, what was called an anti—terrorist operation was over and the scale of destruction in derbent and makhachkala became clear. the head of dagestan went to see for himself. in this church, the attackers had killed a russian orthodox priest. and the synagogue, now a burnt—out shell. translation: today is a day of tragedy for dagestan - and not only for dagestan but for our entire country. of course, we understand who is behind these terrorist attacks. we understand what they were trying to achieve. the suspicion is, there is a link here to radical islam. in recent years, the islamic state group has claimed to have carried out a string of attacks in dagestan, and yet one russian mp has gone on state tv here to suggest that ukraine and nato orchestrated this latest attack. now, that's a narrative we've heard before. gunshots, woman screams earlier this year, after the mass shooting at a concert hall near moscow, the kremlin had pointed the finger of blame at kyiv and the west — even though islamic state had claimed responsibility for the attack. the authorities keen to make sure that russians view ukraine and the west as public enemy number one. but after the last 2a hours in dagestan, and attacks that left a string of police officers and civilians dead, one senior russian senator has said this. "if russia was to blame every terrorist attack on scheming "by ukraine and nato, the pink mist will bring "russia bigger problems." steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. there's evidence that every major international football tournament like the euros or the world cup produces a sharp increase in domestic violence. research by lancaster university showed an increase of 38% when england lost a match and 26% when they won or drew. sussex police said the number of 999 calls linked to domestic abuse doubled during the last world cup compared to a normal month. with euro 2024 now well under way, our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford has been talking to one woman about the violence she has experienced, and seeing what the police are trying to do about the problem. the nextjob is a woman who has reported being assaulted by her ex—partner. we are out on patrol with a sussex police detective and a domestic violence adviser from west sussex council. they're visiting women at risk of violence as part of a campaign during the euros because domestic abuse always increases during football tournaments. it's very much a sort of a case of building confidence and a relationship with that individual. he got hold of a dressing gown cord and put it around my neck and tried to choke the life out of me. lisa spent 29 years in an extremely violent relationship with her ex—partner, lee. he's knocked me out a few times just from punches on my face. i'm out cold, out cold for hours on end. and he never got any help or anything like that. cigarette burns on my face. put cigarettes out on my face. supported by her son, josh, she told me that international football tournaments made things even worse. he gambled on the football every week. he left us without food, money so he could gamble on the football. and if there was a tournament, he'd drink a lot. drink made him even worse. ten times worse. even if the money was in my bank account, which it very rarely was, he would demand it so that he could bet on the football, on a tournament, these particular tournaments in particular, because it's easier to bet on countries than it is on teams. because the football was on and because england had lost or spain had lost or... yeah, i knew exactly what was going to happen as soon as i walked through the door. we used to hide behind hedges, watching the house, waiting for him to leave so we could go home. yeah. last year, lee was jailed for 38 months at lewes crown court for controlling and coercive behaviour. i'm actually looking forward to this tournament so that me and my son can actually watch it in peace. as they make their visits during the euros, the officers are giving advice to women at risk of violence, but also practical help, like door braces for holding doors shut against a perpetrator and panic alarms. women are also told that if they don't want to go to the police, there are other people they can call. in sussex police, we're very good at relentlessly pursuing domestic abuse perpetrators. we do that really well. but this piece of work is about preventing offences and protecting people. already during this tournament, there is evidence that calls about domestic violence have increased, but it's a problem that's now well recognised and the police are trying to do something about it. daniel sandford, bbc news. more couples are now choosing to get married on a weekday, rather than a weekend, to cut costs, with some saving thousands of pounds. the bank of england spotted the trend, and bridebook — which says it helps plan weddings in the uk — found that last year, for the first time, less than half of weddings took place on a saturday. ben boulos reports. when planning their wedding, rachel and her husband asked themselves if they wanted to get married on a weekday rather than a weekend. without hesitation, they both declared, "i do." we decided to have a mid—week wedding, largely because of cost. when we looked around at what sort of things we were interested in, what sort of things that we wanted. traffic was a lot quieter, it felt a lot more personal, everybody else were at work. so there were just millions of people milling around. rachel and her husband are part of a growing trend of couples opting for a mid—week wedding. you can save up to 50%. that can be as much as £10,000 off the average cost of a wedding by going for a weekday wedding. the cons are that it is a little bit more difficult for your guests, if you have guests who are teachers, if they're tied to a monday to fridayjob, it can be a lot harder for people to take take the time off to come to your wedding. with a bigger choice of venues than ever before, the sky's the limit when it comes to designing your perfect ceremony. take this repurposed upper deck of a 7a7 jumbo jet at an aerodrome near manchester. and with demand for venues like this taking off, opting for a mid—week wedding can open up many more potential dates. 50% we've had to give us a discount. so again, for us, that really drives a difference in the business model and where we can actually still get a margin to make it worthwhile because otherwise people are not interested. it's the big reason why people are shifting from a saturday to a monday or tuesday because, of course, it's cheaper. the shift towards weekday weddings and other events creates challenges as well as opportunities for the businesses involved. we know since the pandemic there's been fewer staff around and fewer trained staff, so to go from a model where you're perhaps working two or three days a week and focusing on weekend work, to go to a seven—day operation, that presents logistical challenges for a business, but the positives are going to seven days a week, it allows the business to expand the operation, to have a higher turnover. so it seems fewer couples see any just cause or impediment to a weekday wedding, leaving them with just the small task of deciding who to invite. ben boulos, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with elizabeth. we are into the warmest spell of the year so far and temperatures for the first half of this week will be well above the seasonal average, it will feel quite muggy and humid, especially by night. largely dry, few isolated showers possible at times then later in the week, all change, it will feel fresher with temperatures closer to the seasonal average with some sunshine and showers. but today for northern ireland and scotland, it's likely to be the warmest day of the week. some of the best of the sunshine, the highest of the temperatures will be for eastern scotland and also for the south east of england. a bit of a sea breeze setting up towards coastal areas. but for southern and western coasts, it's been a misty, murky start to the day. a lot of that cloud lifting, some cloud infilling elsewhere. but sunny spells and temperatures widely in the mid 20s in celsius, maybe 28 celsius in the far south east of england. now overnight tonight, then our weather front out towards the west starts to move further southwards and eastwards throwing more clouds and showers into north west scotland and also across northern ireland, too. it's going to feel quite muggy tonight. there will be some more low cloud and mist developing towards coasts and hills. lows of 17 celsius across parts of east yorkshire. tricky for sleeping. and then our cold front continues to push further southwards and eastwards. on tuesday we'll bring some cloud with it. the cloud across the western coast and hills will gradually lift sunny spells developing for many. the best of the sunshine again will be for eastern areas of england and wales. temperatures here could get as high as 28 to 30 degrees celsius. showers across northern england brightening up later across parts of northern ireland and western scotland. and then we look out towards the atlantic once again to see this area of low pressure that's waiting in the wings. and that's going to bring fresher conditions for all eventually. but still some showers, longer spells of rain out towards the north and the west. it's cooler here on wednesday. again, we're keeping those high temperatures out towards parts of england and wales. we could get to 30 degrees celsius maybe in. it's very warm and sticky across the south on wednesday night into thursday. but eventually that humid air will be pushed away towards the east to bring fresher conditions for everyone across the board. so temperatures dip for our capital cities into the weekend. some more sunshine, though, at times, but they. live from london, this is bbc news. princess anne is recovering in hospital after sustaining a minor head injury and concussion while out walking on her estate. a leading think tank the ifs accuses the main parties of a "conspiracy of silence" over how they'd fund their election pledges on the economy. rishi sunak says he's not aware of any other conservative candidates being looked into for election bets, but insists his party would act if an internal investigation found anyone guilty of wrongdoing. i'm annita mcveigh and i'm live in belfast, talking to voters here about the issues that matter to them. as many as 21,000 children are estimated to be missing in gaza warns international charity, save the children. and hope for those living with severe epilepsy, as a boy becomes the first person to have a skull implant fitted to control seizures. princess anne is in hospital with minor injuries after an incident at home. the bbc understands she suffered concussion while walking on the gatcombe park estate. she is expected to make a full recovery. let's speak to our correspondent danjohnson who is outside southmead hospital in bristol where the princess is being treated. what do we know about what happened and how she is? the what do we know about what happened and how she is?— and how she is? the detail we have officially at — and how she is? the detail we have officially at the _ and how she is? the detail we have officially at the moment _ and how she is? the detail we have officially at the moment is - and how she is? the detail we have officially at the moment is there . officially at the moment is there was some sort of incident while the princess was out walking on her country estate in gloucestershire yesterday evening. the palace has not made clear exactly what happened, just that she sustained minor injuries and concussion. the emergency services were called to the estate and assess her condition there and decided she need to be driven to hospital for further treatment so she was brought here to southmead last night. 45 or 15 minute drive from the park and she was accompanied by her husband. we have sources suggested what happened, although the palace made clear the princess wasn't driving, she may have been involved in some sort of collision with a horse. apparently her head injuries are consistent with either being kicked or coming into collision with the head of a horse. we know the princess is a very keen horse riders and lover. she has been a very prominent figure particularly in the front of the royal family's engagement in the last few months, stepping up while other members have had to take a back—seat and lesser role because of their own medical issues so this has impacted quite heavily on the princess's own list of engagements. she will not be able to attend a state banquet at buckingham palace tomorrow and has been advised not to take part in a royal tour she was supposed to take to canada at the end of the week. she has apologised to the organisations she is patron of the charities she is involved with and the events that would have been expecting her to participate in the next few days. the police are saying in terms of her treatment she is recovering well in a comfortable condition and will be kept in hospital as a precautionary measure for further observation. they say she is receiving appropriate expert care but it seems she will stay here at hospital for at least another night or two, perhaps longer. let's speak to robert hardman, daily mail writer and royal commentator and author of "charles iii: new king, new court. the inside story". princess and has long been admired, her work ethic is obvious. what

set out in their election manifestos. the ifs analysed how the policies could impact the public finances(tx gfx, and what that could mean for household incomes, public services and taxation. in its scathing assessment it said the parties were "ducking the issues" — by relying on faster growth to deliver more tax — which it said was far from guaranteed. it also warned the next government faced having to find new ways to raise taxes, or leave some public services exposed to billions of pounds worth of cuts. this a flavour of what the director of the ifs, pauljohnson, had to say. low growth, high debt, high—interest payments mean we need to do something quite rare over the next few years just to stop debt spiralling ever upwards — we need to run primary surpluses. that means the government needs to collect more in tax and other revenues than it spends on everything. apart from that debt interest bill. that's not necessarily a recipe for a happy electorate, where you're taking more away than you're giving back. as i say, that is a very rare thing for us to achieve or need to achieve. and both parties are committed to the same fiscal target, which is that debt should be falling in five years' time. that's a loose target. it's looser than any debt target we've had since 2008, yet it constrains it, really constrains. taking it seriously, and as far as i can tell, both manifestos do take it seriously will mean the painful choices that we're outlining, none of that are faced up to. the prime minister has said he is "not aware of any other candidate" being investigated over alleged bets placed on the timing of a general election. four conservatives in total are being looked into by the gambling commission, including two standing in the general election. the former minister tobias ellwood has told the bbc rishi sunak should suspend the candidates involved. our political correspondent harry farley reports. ten days from polling day and rishi sunak, speaking today in scotland, has a major headache over its surprise date and allegations that bets were placed by those in the know. conservative candidates laura saunders and craig williams are being looked into, as well as two other tory officials and a police officer. ms saunders said she would co—operate with the gambling commission. mr williams apologised and said he had made an error ofjudgment. this morning, rishi sunak has been speaking to reporters in edinburgh and asked if he could rule out whether others close to him had placed bets on the election timing, he said he is not aware of any other candidates the gambling commission is investigating, but he did add that the commission does not reveal the names of those it is looking at. and important to remember that the gambling commission investigations are independent, i don't have the details of those, they don't obviously report to me, but i can tell you that we have in parallel conducted our own internal inquiries and we will of course act on any relevant findings or information. today, a former minister has said there is no doubt the existing revelations will cost the conservatives seats. this betting saga has been deeply unhelpful, self—inflicted distraction. and triggered by a few individuals. in what world they thought this was acceptable is beyond belief. should the prime minister have suspended the two i conservative candidates? well, given the scale of this, as we see now, and the potential for this story to continue to eclipse, to overshadow the election, i would now agree. opposition parties cannot believe their luck that this is dominating. rishi sunak needs to show some leadership. if these were my candidates, i tell you what, they would be gone, their feet wouldn't have touched the floor. there was a bigger argument here about politics, because the first instinct of these tories about the general election is not, "what can we do for our country?" but "let's see if we can make some money." more people than those already known about are being looked into over alleged bets on the election, so the possibility of more names emerging still hangs over this finalfull week of campaigning. harry farley, bbc news, westminster. throughout the day, we're taking a close look at how this election is playing out in northern ireland. my colleague annita mcveigh

army says its fighterjets have attacked a number of hezbollah targets in south lebanon overnight. the confrontation between israel and hezbollah has been escalating in recent weeks and the un secretary—general has warned that lebanon cannot become another gaza. it comes as the israeli defence minister, yoav gallant, is visiting washington. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has announced the phase of intense fighting against hamas in rafah, in gaza, is finally coming to an end. although, he warned the war would not finish until hamas no longer controls the gaza strip. in his first television interview on israeli tv since the war started in october, mr netanyahu said the end of the rafah offensive would allow troops to be freed up to help at the northern border with lebanon. translation: if there is an agreement, - it will be an agreement according to our terms. and our terms are not to end the war, to leave gaza and leave hamas as it is. i refuse to leave hamas as it is. we need to eliminate it. the charity, save the children, has released new figures suggesting as many as 21,000 children are missing in gaza. the charity estimates 17,000 children have become separated from their families during the chaos of the conflict, especially during the latest displacements following the israeli offensive in rafah. with a further 4,000 believed to have been trapped beneath rubble, and an unknown number detained or buried in unmarked graves. let's speak to head of humanitarian policy and advocacy at save the children, alexandra saieh. ti reless tireless more

this point, presumed dead. children who are buried, whose bodies are buried in unmarked mass graves. also children who have been detained and or disappeared by israeli forces and their whereabouts are unknown. this comes on top of more than 1a,000 children in gaza who have been killed and thousands of others who have been maimed, injured and are now facing life altering injuries. the situation for children is incredibly overwhelmingly catastrophic. there is no end in sight for the night make merely facing. flan is no end in sight for the night make merely facing.— is no end in sight for the

who are in unmarked graves. the number could be even higher. because of the chaos of war in gaza, there are countless families still searching for their children, not knowing where they are. partridge

because children are seven times more likely to be killed by explosive weapons than adults and this is causing a massive toll on children's lives. we need a ceasefire and we need it now. iloathe

officers and an orthodox church priest, have died in a series of attacks on police posts, churches and a synagogue. gun battles took place in the predominantly muslim, north caucasus republic of dagestan, one of the poorest regions of russia. the apparently coordinated attacks targeted the cities of makhachkala and derbent on the orthodox festival of pentecost. the kremlin has yet to comment, but local authorites suggest they know who is behind the shootings. our russia editor, steve rosenberg has more. gunshots southern russia under attack. in the russian republic of dagestan, gunmen opened fire into cities. they targeted places of worship. this was the synagogue in derbent. security forces battled the insurgents long into the night. by morning, what was called an anti—terrorist operation was over and the scale of destruction in derbent and makhachkala became clear. the head of dagestan went to see for himself. in this church, the attackers had killed a russian orthodox priest. and the synagogue, now a burnt—out shell. translation: today is a day of tragedy for dagestan - and not only for dagestan but for our entire country. of course, we understand who is behind these terrorist attacks. we understand what they were trying to achieve. the suspicion is, there is a link here to radical islam. in recent years, the islamic state group has claimed to have carried out a string of attacks in dagestan, and yet one russian mp has gone on state tv here to suggest that ukraine and nato orchestrated this latest attack. now, that's a narrative we've heard before. gunshots, woman screams earlier this year, after the mass shooting at a concert hall near moscow, the kremlin had pointed the finger of blame at kyiv and the west — even though islamic state had claimed responsibility for the attack. the authorities keen to make sure that russians view ukraine and the west as public enemy number one. but after the last 2a hours in dagestan, and attacks that left a string of police officers and civilians dead, one senior russian senator has said this. "if russia was to blame every terrorist attack on scheming "by ukraine and nato, the pink mist will bring "russia bigger problems." steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello there. good afternoon. well, we're into the warmest spell of the year so far, and temperatures for many for the first half of this week will be well above the seasonal average. it's also going to feel quite muggy and humid, especially by night. largely dry. a few isolated showers possible at times. and then later on in the week, all change. it will feel fresher. temperatures dip in closer to the seasonal average with some sunshine and some showers. but today for northern ireland and scotland, it's likely to be the warmest day of the week. some of the best of the sunshine, the highest of the temperatures will be for eastern scotland and also for the south east of england. a bit of a sea breeze setting up towards coastal areas. but for southern and western coasts, it's been a misty, murky start to the day. a lot of that cloud lifting, some cloud infilling elsewhere. but sunny spells and temperatures widely in the mid 20s in celsius, maybe 28 celsius in the far south east of england. now overnight tonight, then, our weatherfront out towards the west starts to move further southwards and eastwards throwing more clouds and showers into north west scotland and also across northern ireland, too. it's going to feel quite muggy tonight. there will be some more low cloud and mist developing towards coasts and hills. lows of 17 celsius across parts of east yorkshire. tricky for sleeping. and then our cold front continues to push further southwards and eastwards. on tuesday we'll bring some cloud with it. the cloud across the western coast and hills will gradually lift sunny spells developing for many. the best of the sunshine again will be for eastern areas of england and wales. temperatures here could get as high as 28 to 30 degrees celsius. showers across northern england brightening up later across parts of northern ireland and western scotland. and then we look out towards the atlantic once again to see this area of low pressure that's waiting in the wings. and that's going to bring fresher conditions for all eventually. but still some showers, longer spells of rain out towards the north and the west. it's cooler here on wednesday. again, we're keeping those high temperatures out towards parts of england and wales. we could get to 30 degrees celsius maybe in. it's very warm and sticky across the south on wednesday night into thursday. but eventually that humid air will be pushed away towards the east to bring fresher conditions for everyone across the board. so temperatures dip for our capital cities into the weekend. some more sunshine, though, at times. this is bbc news. the headlines: princess anne is recovering in hospital after sustaining a minor head injury and concussion while out walking on her estate. a leading think—tank — the ifs — accuses the main parties of a "conspiracy of silence" over how they'd fund their election pledges on the economy. keir starmer says a conservative party investigation into betting allegations is designed to "knock" the story "into the long grass" until after the election. a court has heard how a security guard plotted to abduct, rape and murder the tv personality holly willoughby. hello, i'm geeta guru—murthy. the prime minister hasjoined the current scottish conservatives leader douglas ross to unveil the party's manifesto in scotland. rishi sunak said the election in scotland was a choice between the tories and the snp. both leaders accused the snp of making this a "single issue" election and in effect an "unofficial independence referendum". let's have a listen to what the prime minister had to say. all elections have consequences, but this vote in scotland matters so much. it will determine whether we have mps focused on the real priorities of the scottish people or whether the divisive constitutional wrangling of the last decade continues. if the snp win a majority, they will treat it as a mandate to carry on campaigning for independence for another five years, ignoring your priorities with mps achieving little at westminster. a vote for the scottish conservatives is a vote to put this issue to bed, to move past these tired and stale arguments, and to go forward united and together. the labour leader sir keir starmer was in the east midlands today and this is what he had to say on the controversy surrounding the gambling allegations against several tories. it's the middle of an election campaign and rishi sunak needs to show some leadership. if these were my candidates, they would be gone, their feet would not have touched the floor. there is a bigger argument here about politics because the first instinct of these tories about the general election is not "what can we do for our country?" but, "let's see if we can make some money," and that's part of the change that is absolutely vital at the election a week on thursday. as part of our your voice your vote series, throughout the general election campaign so far, we've been asking which issues matter most to you. amongst the many responses we have had are concerns about the environment. our climate editorjustin rowlatt has been to meet one viewer who wanted to talk more about a solar farm project planned for her area. welcome to the front line of the uk's battle to go green. it lies amongst the ancient churches and cosy cottages of the cotswolds, where there are plans for a huge new solar plant. like all the main political parties, except reform, local resident kate o'connor thinks more solar power is a great idea. we're on this beautiful country track there are hedges to the left and right. and you really can't see it at all unless there's a gap. the solar farm would cover 13 square kilometres with 2.5 million solar panels, and create enough electricity for more than a third of a million homes. kate is frustrated by the stand taken by virtually all the candidates locally. the challenge is, on the national level, the two big parties that have the best chance in my constituency say brilliant things about reaching net zero at the national level, but when it comes to backing a huge project like this, that can actually get us there, they're not interested. they're fighting against it_ you don't have to go far to find out why they take that position. i think it is ridiculous. because it's all green fields, not brown fields. and apart from that, the size of it is unbelievably big. it would be a few miles long and a few miles wide if you were to put it all together. it would spoil several villages in the area. britain is alreadyl doing really well. i don't think we can sit on our laurels and sayl we're doing enough, but it's not that we have to have _ this solar panel installation otherwise the temperature | is going to rise by ten degrees. it's just not that urgent. let's find other ways. my opinion's quite mixed because we need the renewable energy if we don't face up to the facts. where we put them, that's the difficult one, isn't it? there's nothing exceptional about the cotswolds — solar plants, wind farms and the pylons that carry the power they generate to the grid create similar opposition all over the uk. virtually all of the uk's politicians argue we need more renewables so the challenge for them — and it is a big one — is how to get local people in places like this to agree to host these projects. justin rowlatt, bbc news. the cargo ship which caused the collapse of a huge bridge in baltimore earlier this year, has headed out of the city. the dali lost power and crashed into the francis scott key bridge in the early hours of march 26th. six construction workers died, and investigations are still under way into why the ship lost power and veered off course. the 984—foot container vessel is now headed to norfolk in virginia, to remove the remaining containers on board and undergo further repairs. the trial has begun of a man accused of plotting the kidnap, rape and murder of the tv presenter holly willoughby. gavin plumb allegedly assembled a kit of tools to commit violence against the former this morning presenter, between 2021 and 2023. he denies the charges. our correspondent helena wilkinson has been outside the court in chelmsford. this is the first day of gavin plumb's trial here at chelmsford crown court. he is sitting in the dock, listening as the prosecutor alison morgan kc is continuing to open the case for the jury — a summary of the case for the jury to hear. the prosecutor has told jurors that gavin plumb, who was a security guard, had developed an obsession with the television presenter holly willoughby and it is also alleged that he had assembled a kit of tools to carry out his alleged plan to kidnap, rape and murder holly willoughby. the prosecutor said it was notjust the ramblings of a fantasist — the defendant he had carefully planned what he would do. ms morgan kc has been telling jurors that gavin plumb had originally spoken to a man online, known as mark, about his alleged plan in 2021. ms morgan said the defendant told the person known as mark, "i'm going to be living out my ultimate fantasy. i'm now at the point that fantasy isn't enough any more, i want the real thing." mr plumb was arrested after an undercover police officer he was exchanging messages with in the united states, unbeknown unbeknown to gavin plumb who this man was, and he was arrested soon after that. in those conversations, the prosecutor has told the jury that in that discussion, the defendant explained his plans to kidnap, rape and murder the celebrity holly willoughby. the jury were also told that mr plumb has committed offences before for attempted kidnap and false imprisonment on other women. gavin plumb denies the charges. the jury has been told the trial is expected to last for two weeks and the prosecutor is continuing to open the prosecution's case for the jury. flights from the uk's third—busiest airport — manchester — have resumed after a power cut led to dozens of flights being cancelled yesterday. up to 90,000 passengers were affected, when security systems and baggage screening struggled to come back online. our correspondent lauren moss is at the airport. this affected more than 100 flights yesterday and up to 90,000 passengers. but today, things are running much smoother. i was inside terminal 1 just before and flights are coming and going and landing and leaving all the time. there are one or two cancellations and some of the flights that are leaving are delayed, but on the whole, manchester airport says things are running as planned. some of the people i spoke to are a little bit anxious about their flight leaving on the advice is to check before you set off like like you usually would, but things should be running 0k. the priority, really, is getting those passengers who didn't fly yesterday and those who are still out of place today to where they need to be and reunited with their baggage. as for compensation, that isn't a straightforward answer because what happened yesterday is likely classed as as an extraordinary circumstance. the power failure is on the airport's property, not a fault of the airline, so passengers are advised to check travel insurance policies and with their operator if they booked a package holiday. it's now more than a week since the british holiday—maker jay slater went missing on the spanish island of tenerife. the 19—year—old vanished after attending a music festival. from the island, fiona trott has the latest. the impression we are getting on the ground is this, it looks like the police searches are less concentrated than they were before. those searches taking place around a holiday home where jay slater went with two men in the early hours of monday morning. is that because they're spreading out and moving away from the mountainside? are they going to villages like santiago de teide, where a woman has contacted police, apparently, to say that she saw young men in the village later that day? we have not seen any police activity there. one man we spoke to said he didn't know anything about the disappearance until posters went up in the village yesterday. and that's another thing we've seen — friends and family putting up posters, doing the small things like going down to the bars and holiday resort where jay slater was clubbing last week, putting up posters there, putting things on social media, even going out to carry out searches of their own. we've seen complete strangers doing that too, people travelling from lancashire — where he is from — and london, coming to tenerife. the police say they will not comment on an ongoing investigation so it is very hard for us to tell you how they are operating, how their search is going and how successful they are. what we do know is that lancashire police have offered assistance, but the police here say they are happy with the resources that they have. a yellow "heat health" alert has been issued for most of england, with temperatures set to reach 30 celsius by the middle of the week. the health security agency says the alert will stay in place until thursday, as the weather could pose a risk to the elderly and other vulnerable groups, as duncan kennedy reports. on the south coast, the only monday morning blues were in the skies. mid—morning, and temperatures were already in the mid 20s. it's amazing. we're off work and we can spend some time together in the sun. yeah, ijust hope it lasts. but the uk health security agency has issued the first yellow heat health alert of the summer. for one retired couple, whatever the source of the heat, for their age group, caution is the key. have hats, have suncream and have loose clothing to cover yourself because you'll still burn even with sunscreen. so you've just got to be sensible with it. yellow heat health alerts are aimed at the young, too, including this family, with personal experience of what can happen. we've had family members that have had real issues with skin cancer. so it's something that's prominent to us. so, yeah, we'd advise everyone just to take the utmost precaution. at this lido in south east london, they're also aware of the heat alert, but are determined to enjoy the sun. so, the sun's out and about. it's lovely to be in the pool swimming, having a bit of time off work, going back, energising you. the message from the authorities is that when heat meets health, it calls for a mixture of enjoyment, but also respect. there's evidence that every major international football tournament like the euros or the world cup produces a sharp increase in domestic violence. research by lancaster university showed an increase of 38% when england lost a match and 26% when they won or drew. sussex police said the number of 999 calls linked to domestic abuse doubled during the last world cup compared to a normal month. with euro 2024 now well under way, our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford has been talking to one woman about the violence she has experienced, and seeing what the police are trying to do about the problem. the nextjob is a woman who has reported being assaulted by her ex—partner. we're out on patrol with a sussex police detective and a domestic violence adviser from west sussex council. they're visiting women at risk of violence as part of a campaign during the euros because domestic abuse always increases during football tournaments. it's very much a sort of a case of building confidence and a relationship with that individual. he got hold of a dressing gown cord and put it around my neck and tried to choke the life out of me. lisa spent 29 years in an extremely violent relationship with her ex—partner, lee. he's knocked me out a few times just from punches on my face. i'm out cold, out cold for hours on end. and he never got any help or anything like that. cigarette burns on my face. put cigarettes out on my face. supported by her son, josh, she told me that international football tournaments made things even worse. he gambled on the football every week. he left us without food, money, so he could gamble on the football. and if there was a tournament, he'd drink a lot. drink made him even worse. ten times worse. even if the money was in my bank account, which it very rarely was, he would demand it so that he could bet on the football, on a tournament, these particular tournaments in particular, because it's easier to bet on countries than it is on teams. because the football was on and because england had lost or spain had lost or... yeah, i knew exactly what was going to happen as soon as i walked through the door. we used to hide behind hedges, watching the house, waiting for him to leave so we could go home. yeah — last year, lee was jailed for 38 months at lewes crown court for controlling and coercive behaviour. i'm actually looking forward to this tournament so that me and my son can actually watch it in peace, you know. as they make their visits during the euros, the officers are giving advice to women at risk of violence, but also practical help, like door braces for holding doors shut against a perpetrator and panic alarms. women are also told that if they don't want to go to the police, there are other people they can call. in sussex police, we're very good at relentlessly pursuing domestic abuse perpetrators. we do that really well. but this piece of work is about preventing offences and protecting people. already during this tournament, there is evidence that calls about domestic violence have increased, but it's a problem that's now well recognised and the police are trying to do something about it. daniel sandford, bbc news. a 12—year—old boy from somerset has become the first person in the world to trial a new form of treatment for epilepsy. oran knowlson, who was having multiple seizures a day, has been fitted with a device inside his skull known as a neurostimulator, which sends electrical signals deep into his brain. our medical editor fergus walsh has been following his progress. just a warning — his report contains some images of surgery and seizures. would you like to try using this? you can, but i don't think it wipes off as well, does it? yeah. there's two more. thank you. oran is 12 years old. he has autism and adhd. ok, mama? yeah? but what is holding him back most is his epilepsy. he's not had a day without seizures since he was three. i had a fairly bright and together three—year—old that, within a few months of seizures commencing, deteriorated rapidly and lost a lot of skills. so, this is a tonic—clonic... oran has multiple seizures day and night. all right, 0k. some are so severe, he stops breathing. quinn. quinn, baby. i need your help, please. quinn. epilepsy seizures are triggered by abnormal bursts of electrical activity in the brain. these can often be controlled by drugs, but oran's form of epilepsy, known as lennox—gastaut syndrome, is so severe, nothing has helped. every moment of his life is affected because of his epilepsy. is it robbing him of some of his childhood? it's robbed him of all of his childhood, so far. i want oran back. i want the child that — or at least glimmers of the child that i remember, i want some of that back. i want him to find some of himself again. through the haze of seizures, i'd like to get my boy back. it's october 2023. oran is being prepared for major surgery at great 0rmond street hospital in london. he's the first child in the world to trial this device — a neurostimulator which will sit in his skull. we're numberone, right. we'll start with 190. the device will send electrical impulses deep into oran's brain via two electrodes. the leads have to be inserted into the thalamus, a key relay station in the brain for sensory information. screw ready for the plate in due course. the placing of the leads requires millimetre—perfect precision. this study is hopefully going to allow us to identify really whether this is an efficacious treatment for epilepsy and also is looking at a new type of device which is particularly useful in children, because the implant is in the skull and not in the chest. and we hope that that will reduce the potential complications. not easy. after inserting the electrodes, they are carefully connected to the neurostimulator. then the device is placed into a gap cut out of oran's skull and is finally screwed into position. in the coming months, three more patients will undergo the same surgery here at gosh as part of the first ever trial in the uk of this device to treat severe childhood epilepsy. final checks complete, oran's surgery has gone without a hitch. looks pretty spot—on to me. it looks very good, so we're super—happy and that's really great. we now know that we've left him with the leads exactly where we want them to be. so that gives the best chance of the device working and reducing the seizures. a month later, oran and his parents are back at great 0rmond street for his device to be switched on. we are going to the maximum now. slowly, the current is increased to the target level. yeah, it's fine. it's hoped that constant, deep—brain stimulation will block the abnormal electrical signals triggering his seizures. can you reach it? good man, well done. laughter walk on. walk on, good man. and this is oran now. seven months on, it's immediately clear he's more active and independent. now aged 13, epilepsy no longer dominates his life. seizure—wise, we have seen a massive improvement — severity is less and, yeah, he's a happier boy. we haven't had to resuscitate him since you last saw us. and just overall, we're seeing a much better quality of life, i think. and he's happier. sheep. yeah, look. oran's daytime seizures have reduced by 80%. but further improvements are possible, as doctors plan to tailor his device to make it even more responsive to his brain activity. so you're optimistic for the future? very optimistic for the future. i think the great 0rmond street team gave us hope back, which was something we didn't have. now the future looks brighter. oran's family know his treatment is not a cure, but they're optimistic he will continue to emerge from the shadow cast by his epilepsy. fergus walsh, bbc news, somerset. more couples are now choosing to get married on a weekday — rather than a weekend — to cut costs, with some saving thousands of pounds. the bank of england spotted the trend, and bridebook — which says it helps plan weddings in the uk — found that last year, for the first time, less than half of weddings took place on a saturday. and the wedding website hitched.co.uk suggests that the number of weddings taking place on a tuesday has gone up by over 40% compared to two years ago. it is mainly because couples want to save some cash. the average wedding now costs over £20,000 — 12.5% more than it did just two years ago. ben boulos reports. when planning their wedding, rachel and her husband asked themselves if they wanted to get married on a weekday rather than a weekend. without hesitation, they both declared, "i do." we decided to have a mid—week wedding, largely because of cost. when we looked around at what sort of things we were interested in, what sort of things that we wanted. traffic was a lot quieter, it felt a lot more personal, everybody else were at work, so there were just millions of people milling around. rachel and her husband are part of a growing trend of couples opting for a mid—week wedding. you can save up to 50%. that can be as much as £10,000 off the average cost of a wedding by going for a weekday wedding. the cons are that it is a little bit more difficult for your guests. if you have guests who are teachers, if they're tied to a monday—to—fridayjob, it can be a lot harder for people to take take the time off to come to your wedding. with a bigger choice of venues than ever before, the sky's the limit when it comes to designing your perfect ceremony. take this repurposed upper deck of a 747 jumbo jet at an aerodrome near manchester. and with demand for venues like this taking off, opting for a mid—week wedding can open up many more potential dates. 50% we've had to give us a discount. so, again, for us, that really drives a difference in the business model in where we can actually still get a margin to make it worthwhile because otherwise people are not interested. it's the big reason why people are shifting from a saturday to a monday or tuesday — because, of course, it's cheaper. the shift towards weekday weddings and other events creates challenges as well as opportunities for the businesses involved. we know since the pandemic there's been fewer staff around, fewer trained staff, so to go from a model where you're perhaps working two or three days a week and focusing on weekend work, to go to a seven—day operation, that presents logistical challenges for a business, but the positives are going to seven days a week, it allows the business to expand the operation, to have a higher turnover. so it seems fewer couples see any just cause or impediment to a weekday wedding, leaving them with just the small task of deciding who to invite. ben boulos, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good afternoon. well, we're into the warmest spell of the year so far and temperatures for many for the first half of this week will be well above the seasonal average. it's also going to feel quite muggy and humid, especially by night. largely dry. a few isolated showers possible at times. later on in the week, all change. it will feel fresher. temperatures dipping closer to the seasonal average with some sunshine and some showers. but today, for northern ireland and scotland, it's likely to be the warmest day of the week. some of the best of the sunshine, the highest of the temperatures will be for eastern scotland and also for the far south—east of england. a bit of a sea breeze setting up towards coastal areas, but for southern and western coasts it's been a misty, murky start to the day. a lot of that cloud lifting, some cloud infilling elsewhere, but sunny spells and temperatures widely in the mid—20s in celsius, maybe 28 celsius in the far south—east of england. overnight tonight, our weather front out towards the west starts to move further southwards and eastwards, throwing more clouds and showers into north—west scotland and also across northern ireland too. it's going to feel quite muggy tonight. there will be some more low cloud and mist developing towards coasts and hills. lows of 17 celsius across parts of east yorkshire — tricky for sleeping. our cold front continues to push further southwards and eastwards on tuesday. it will bring some cloud with it. the cloud across the western coasts and hills will gradually lift, sunny spells developing for many. the best of the sunshine again will be for eastern areas of england and wales. temperatures here could get as high as 28 to 30 celsius. showers across northern england. brightening up later across parts of northern ireland and western scotland. then we look out towards the atlantic once again to see this area of low pressure that's waiting in the wings. that's going to bring fresher conditions for all, eventually, but still some showers, longer spells of rain out towards the north and the west. it's cooler here on wednesday. again, we're keeping those high temperatures out towards parts of england and wales. we could get to 30 celsius maybe. it's very warm and sticky across the south on wednesday night into thursday. eventually, that humid air will be pushed away towards the east to bring fresher conditions for everyone across the board. temperatures dip for our capital cities into the weekend. some more sunshine, though, at times. bye— bye. live from london, this is bbc news. princess anne is recovering in hospital after sustaining a minor head injury and concussion while out walking on her estate. a leading think tank, the ifs, accuses the main parties of a "conspiracy of silence" over how they'd fund their election pledges on the economy. keir starmer says a conservative party investigation into betting allegations is designed to knock the story into the long grass until after the election. i'm annita mcveigh and i'm live in belfast, talking to voters here about the issues that matter to them. as many as 21,000 children are estimated to be missing in gaza, warns international charity, save the children. and a court has heard how a security guard plotted to abduct, rape and murder the tv personality holly willoughby. hello, i'm geeta guru—murthy. princess anne is in hospital after suffering a minor head injury and concussion while out walking in the grounds of her country home. the incident, which took place yesterday, is thought to have involved a horse. the princess is being kept under observation "as a precaution" and is expected to make a full recovery. our correspondent danjohnson is outside southmead hospital in bristol where the princess is being treated. all the detail we have officially at the moment is that there was some sort of incident while the princess was out walking on her country estate in gloucestershire yesterday evening. the palace hasn't made clear exactly what happened. they've just said that she sustained minor injuries and concussion. we know the emergency services were called to the estate and assessed her condition there and decided that she needed to be driven to hospital for further treatment. so she was brought here to southmead last night. it's about a 45, 50—minute drive from gatcombe park and she was accompanied on that drive by her husband, admiral sir tim lawrence. now, we have sources suggesting that what happened, although the palace has made clear the princess wasn't riding, she may have been involved in some sort of collision with a horse. apparently, her head injuries are consistent with either being kicked or coming into collision with the head of a horse. we know the princess is a very keen horse lover, horse rider. now, she's been a very prominent figure, particularly in the front of the royal family's engagements during the last few months, stepping up while other members of the royal family have had to take a back—seat, a lesser role because of their own medical issues. so this has impacted quite heavily on the princess's own list of engagements. she will not be able to attend the state banquet at buckingham palace tomorrow. she's been advised not to take part in a royal tour she was supposed to be taking to canada at the end of the week, so she's apologised to the organisations that she is patron of, the charities that she's involved with, the organisations and events that would have been expecting her to participate in the next few days. all that the palace are saying in terms of her treatment is that she's recovering well, is in a comfortable condition and will be kept in hospital as a precautionary measure. for further observation, they say she is receiving appropriate expert care, but it seems she is going to stay here at southmead hospital, at least for another night or two, perhaps longer. to politics now, and a leading think tank, the institute for fiscal studies, has accused the main political parties of a "conspiracy of silence" over the economic reality behind plans set out in their election manifestos. the ifs analysed how the policies could impact the public finances and what that could mean for household incomes, public services and taxation. in its scathing assessment, it said the parties were "ducking the issues" by relying on faster growth to deliver more tax, which it said was far from guaranteed. it also warned the next government faced having to find new ways to raise taxes, or leave some public services exposed to billions of pounds worth of cuts. this a flavour of what the director of the ifs, pauljohnson, had to say. low growth, high debt, high—interest payments mean we need to do something quite rare over the next few years just to stop debt spiralling ever upwards — we need to run primary surpluses. that means the government needs to collect more in tax and other revenues than it spends on everything. apart from that debt interest bill. spends on everything. that's not necessarily a recipe for a happy electorate, where you're taking more away than you're giving back. as i say, that is a very rare thing for us to achieve or need to achieve. and both parties are committed to the same fiscal target, which is that debt should be falling in five years' time. that's a loose target. it's looser than any debt target we've had since 2008, yet it constrains, it really constrains. taking it seriously, and as far as i can tell, both manifestos do take it seriously, will mean the painful choices that we're outlining, none of that are faced up to. earlier we heard from economics correspondent andy verity. i started off by asking him more about the key takeaways i mean, the real concern here is if this is a democracy, is the electorate actually being told the truth? are the major parties leveling with the electorate and telling them about the economic pressures and fiscal pressures that the government and the wider economy faces? and the ifs is coming back really with an answer saying, no, they're not. there's a conspiracy of silence and a lack of honesty, a lack of upfront ness in the political debate between especially the two major parties, mainly for the reason that they claim that they're going to stick to fiscal targets, like, for example, to have debt falling as a proportion of the economy five years from now. but if you're going to do that, then, well, you might have to raise taxes, but the major parties have ruled that out. they've said they've got these tax locks where they rule out changes to income tax and national insurance, vat and corporation tax. that's about like two thirds to three quarters of all the tax money that rolls in. so then how are you going to stimulate economic growth if you haven't got so much money for investment? if you scale back as labour has, its green additional investment to £5 billion? well, that's not a vast amount compared to the total spending of one point £2,000 billion. these things have to be put in proportion, but most of all they're saying, look, if key pledges, like, for example, labor saying that it will find a way to get child poverty down, are to be met, then they have to be real about how you how you cover them, so how you offset the spending you do with taxes. and they're saying that actually that's not really the case according the ifs questions whether that's really realistic. and with the greens, they're saying they could raise £90 billion for greening the economy through a carbon tax. the ifs says not without boosting the cost of living. so there's holes in all their plans. i mean, they were asked, the ifs, about the other areas of tax that haven't been ruled out as yet. if something was done on that, if borrowing limits did change initially, i mean, are there other ways in which the two main parties, for example, could meet their promises? well, you could choose to do a bit more borrowing. i mean, although borrowings high relative to the last 50 years, it's not especially high relative to the last 200, close to the size of the value of the economy. but if you think of you with your mortgage, you borrow two or three times what your income is. so for the government to be borrowing that much, it doesn't compare very well. that was much higher after world war two, for example. so they could choose to let debt go a little bit higher and spend a little more. but that would come with its issues. would there be a lack of credibility in the government's fiscal position? would the market sell off? by no means certain. the prime minister has said he is "not aware of any other candidate" being investigated over alleged bets placed on the timing of a general election. four conservatives are being looked into by the gambling commission, including two standing in the general election. the former minister tobias ellwood has told the bbc rishi sunak should suspend the candidates involved. our political correspondent harry farley reports. ten days from polling day and rishi sunak, speaking today in scotland, has a major headache over its surprise date and allegations that bets were placed by those in the know. conservative candidates laura saunders and craig williams are being looked into, as well as two other tory officials and a police officer. misss saunders said she would co—operate with the gambling commission. mr williams apologised and said he had made an error ofjudgment. this morning, rishi sunak has been speaking to reporters in edinburgh and asked if he could rule out whether others close to him had placed bets on the election timing, he said he is not aware of any other candidates the gambling commission is investigating, but he did add that the commission does not reveal the names of those it is looking at. and important to remember that the gambling commission investigations are independent, i don't have the details of those, they don't obviously report to me, but what i can tell you that we have in parallel conducted our own internal inquiries and will of course act on any relevant findings or information. today, a former minister has said there is no doubt the existing revelations will cost the conservatives seats. this betting saga has been deeply unhelpful, self—inflicted distraction. and triggered by a few individuals. in what world they thought this was acceptable is beyond belief. should the prime minister have suspended the two i conservative candidates? well, given the scale of this, as we see now, and the potential for this story to continue to eclipse, to overshadow the election, i would now agree. opposition parties cannot believe their luck that this is dominating. rishi sunak needs to show some leadership. if these were my candidates, i tell you what, they would be gone, their feet wouldn't have touched the floor. there was a bigger argument here about politics, because the first instinct of these tories about the general election is not, "what can we do for our country?" but "let's see if we can make some money." more people than those already known about are being looked into over alleged bets on the election, so the possibility of more names emerging still hangs over this finalfull week of campaigning. harry farley, bbc news, westminster. the snp have been in aberdeen pushing their manifesto message that scotland needs independence and must rejoin the eu. the party leader, john swinney, was asked by the bbc if relying on an independence vote as a path back to eu membership was a realistic position to take. it's pretty clear from all that's been said in this election campaign that the conservative and labour parties have absolutely shut the doorfirmly on the prospect of us going back into the european union, despite the fact that we now have all the evidence in front of us that brexit is doing colossal damage to the scottish and the united kingdom economies, and also to our public finances. in the face of that evidence, i would have thought the uk parties would have charted a route to repair their relationship with europe, but they are both shutting the door firmly closed. so what that means is, if people in scotland want to rejoin the european union to overcome the damage of brexit, they've got to vote for the scottish national party and pave the way through independence. throughout the day we're taking a close look at how this election is playing out in northern ireland. my colleague annita mcveigh is in the titanic quarter — which is in the belfast east constituency. hello, yes, welcome back to the titanic quarter where we have spent the day so far talking about all sorts of subjects from agriculture, the creative industries, the young vote as well amongst others. to get a sense of what matters to people here in

the series of questions and said to her did you attempt to murder baby k? the allegation is that lucy letby attempted to murder this baby girl who we can only refer to as baby k because of her act identity being protected. the allegation is it happened in february 2016 when her breathing tube was dislodged. a barrister asked if he attempted to murder baby k, lucy letby said no. he asked did you

which is light is being retried here and the trial will continue tomorrow morning. trial will continue tomorrow morning-— trial will continue tomorrow morninu. . , . next to the middle east where the israeli army says its fighterjets have attacked a number of hezbollah targets in south lebanon. the confrontation between israel and hezbollah has been escalating in recent weeks and the un secretary—general has warned that lebanon "cannot become another gaza." it comes as the israeli defence minister, yoav gallant, is visiting washington. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has said the "intense phase" of fighting against hamas in gaza is about to come to an end. although, he warned the war would not finish until hamas no longer controlled gaza. in his first television interview on israeli tv since the war started in october, mr netanyahu said the end of the rafah offensive would allow troops to be freed up to help at the northern border with lebanon. translation: if there . is an agreement, it will be an agreement according to our terms. and our terms are not to end the war, to leave gaza and leave hamas as it is. i refuse to leave hamas as it is. we need to eliminate it. the charity, save the children, has released new figures suggesting as many as 21,000 children are missing in gaza. the charity estimates 17,000 children have become separated from their families during the chaos of the conflict, especially during the latest displacements following the israeli offensive in rafah. with a further 4,000 believed to have been trapped beneath rubble, and an unknown number detained or buried in unmarked graves. head of humanitarian policy and advocacy at save the children alexandra saieh has provided more background on the figures. more than 20,000 children are missing. and these include children that are separated from their families and are unaccompanied. they include children that are trapped under the rubble of their own homes at this point, presumed dead. they include children who are buried, whose bodies are buried in unmarked mass graves and also children that are who have been detained and or disappeared by israeli forces and their whereabouts are unknown. this comes on top of more than 14,000 children in gaza who have been killed and thousands of others who have been maimed, injured and are now facing life—altering injuries. and so the situation for children is incredibly overwhelmingly catastrophic and there's no end in sight for the nightmare that they're facing now. can i ask how you are able to get the data and get the numbers? the data was gathered compiling figures provided by the un agencies, the ministry of health in gaza and humanitarian organisations on the ground. but again, several of these, we don't know the number of children that are detained by israeli forces and or in unmarked graves, so the number could even be higher. you know, because of the chaos of war in gaza, there are countless of families that are still searching fortheir children, not knowing where they are, tortured from the anguish of not having any news whatsoever. and the plight of these families needs to be remembered. and this is why we're calling for an independent investigation into the whereabouts of these children. we continue to call for a cease fire, and that's what's needed at this point. and in terms of your own operations and other aid agencies operations, we know, obviously, it's very, very difficult if the israeli operation, for example, into rafah does move elsewhere to the city. is there any possibility that aid agencies such as yours would be able to go in? have you heard anything on that? what we need is for an end to the indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas. that's what's preventing families from finding one another. that's what's killing children in gaza. that's what's preventing aid agencies from delivering humanitarian assistance at scale. an end to the fighting. a ceasefire is what's needed. the reason we're seeing so many children killed and so many children maimed is because children are seven times more likely to be killed by explosive weapons than adults. and this is what's causing the massive toll on children's lives. we need a ceasefire and we need it now. to southern russia now where 20 people, the cargo ship which caused the collapse of a huge bridge in baltimore earlier this year, has headed out of the city. the dali lost power and crashed into the francis scott key bridge in the early hours of march 26th. six construction workers died, and investigations are still under way into why the ship lost power and veered off course. the 984—foot container vessel is now headed to norfolk in virginia, to remove the remaining containers on board and undergo further repairs. now it's time for a look at the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good afternoon. well, we're into the warmest spell of the year so far, and temperatures for many for the first half of this week will be well above the seasonal average. it's also going to feel quite muggy and humid, especially by night. largely dry. a few isolated showers possible at times. and then later on in the week, all change. it will feel fresher. temperatures dipping closer to the seasonal average, with some sunshine and some showers. but today for northern ireland and scotland, it's likely to be the warmest day of the week. some of the best of the sunshine, the highest of the temperatures will be for eastern scotland and also for the south east of england. a bit of a sea breeze setting up towards coastal areas. but for southern and western coasts, it's been a misty, murky start to the day. a lot of that cloud lifting, some cloud infilling elsewhere. but sunny spells and temperatures widely in the mid 20s in celsius, maybe 28 celsius in the far south east of england. now overnight tonight, then, our weatherfront out towards the west starts to move further southwards and eastwards throwing more clouds and showers into north west scotland and also across northern ireland, too. it's going to feel quite muggy tonight. there will be some more low cloud and mist developing towards coasts and hills. lows of 17 celsius across parts of east yorkshire. tricky for sleeping. and then our cold front continues to push further southwards and eastwards. on tuesday it will bring some cloud with it. the cloud across the western coast and hills will gradually lift sunny spells developing for many. the best of the sunshine again will be for eastern areas of england and wales. temperatures here could get as high as 28 to 30 degrees celsius. showers across northern england brightening up later across parts of northern ireland and western scotland. and then we look out towards the atlantic once again to see this area of low pressure that's waiting in the wings. and that's going to bring fresher conditions for all eventually. but still some showers, longer spells of rain out towards the north and the west. it's cooler here on wednesday. again, we're keeping those high temperatures out towards parts of england and wales. we could get to 30 degrees celsius maybe. it's very warm and sticky across the south on wednesday night into thursday. but eventually that humid air will be pushed away towards the east to bring fresher conditions for everyone across the board. so temperatures dip for our capital cities into the weekend. some more sunshine, though, at times. bye— bye. this is bbc news. the headlines: princess anne is recovering in hospital after sustaining a minor head injury and concussion while out walking on her estate. a leading think—tank — the ifs — accuses the main parties of a "conspiracy of silence" over how they'd fund their election pledges on the economy. keir starmer says a conservative party investigation into betting allegations is designed to "knock" the story "into the long grass" until after the election. and a court has heard how a security guard plotted to abduct, rape and murder the tv personality holly willoughby. hello, i'm geeta guru—murthy. princess anne is in hospital after suffering a minor head injury and concussion while out walking in the grounds of her country home. the incident — which took place yesterday — is thought to have involved a horse. the princess is being kept under observation at bristol's southmead hospital "as a precaution" and is expected to make a full recovery. i've been speaking to robert hardman, daily mail writer and author of charles iii: new king, new court — the inside story about what more we know. this happened last night, she is undergoing medical treatment and we are told that it is minor. everyone is wishing her a speedy recovery, let's hope she is out soon because she is one of the most active and enthusiastic members of the royal family. year after year, when they do the tallies of royal engagements, she is always at or near the top. i think what upsets her the most about what has happened is she suddenly has to cancel things that have been planned for ages, she's letting people down and she hates that. but let's remember she is, no doubt about it, the most experienced horsewoman or equestrian within the royal family and in british public life today, this is someone who was riding and doing three—day events in the 1976 montreal olympics, and she was concussed when she fell off a horse there, so being around horses is not without risk, she knows that, but right now i think the main concern of the family will to get her back —— will be to get her back as soon as possible. is her back -- will be to get her back as soon as possible.— as soon as possible. is there anything _ as soon as possible. is there anything more _ as soon as possible. is there anything more you _ as soon as possible. is there anything more you are - as soon as possible. is there anything more you are able l as soon as possible. is there. anything more you are able to as soon as possible. is there - anything more you are able to tell us about how this happened and whether it did definitely involve horses on the estate? brute whether it did definitely involve horses on the estate?— whether it did definitely involve horses on the estate? we are led to believe, horses on the estate? we are led to believe. we — horses on the estate? we are led to believe, we don't _ horses on the estate? we are led to believe, we don't know— horses on the estate? we are led to believe, we don't know but - horses on the estate? we are led to believe, we don't know but we - believe, we don't know but we understand that she wasn't actually riding but the injuries she sustained are consistent with coming into contact with a horse in some way or another, a horse kicking out or what, wejust way or another, a horse kicking out or what, we just don't know. what i think is interesting is the speed with which we have received this news. i think it has been of a piece when there is a move to more speedy, transparent palace bulletins when a member of the family —— members of the family have to cancel events, we are now being told pretty quickly and clearly she was standing in for and clearly she was standing in for a lot of the things that the king has been unable to do over the last few months, she's been doing a lot of visits. she has been going flat out, she was on horseback at the kings birthday parade, trooping the colour, just the other day, riding a challenging horse called noble, so she has been at the forefront of royal life. she was expected to be taking part in the state banquet tomorrow for the emperor ofjapan. tomorrow for the emperor of japan. there will tomorrow for the emperor ofjapan. there will be a gap in the royal family line upfor there will be a gap in the royal family line up for the next few days but obviously she's got to get well, that's the priority. whitejust finally, it does add to the woes of the royal family on the health front. ~ . . . . the royal family on the health front. ~ ., , , , , the royal family on the health front. . ., , , , , ., front. what is the sense they are in terms of their _ front. what is the sense they are in terms of their public _ front. what is the sense they are in terms of their public engagement l front. what is the sense they are in i terms of their public engagement and public profile. she is 73 and still doing this huge number of public engagements, to her staff had to the view that in future, do you think? i would say good luck! i made a documentary about her for her 70th birthday and it was amazing watching the amount she packs into the average day, the average week. it's all done in a very unfussy way, very matter—of—fact. she has always been very quick to accept the views of the doctors and experts on these matters and if they say, you cannot do ex or y four a few days, she will respect that —— ex or y for a few days, she will respect that, but i don't think she will slow down. she is a long serving member of the olympic committee, she takes interest particularly on the equestrian front, we have olympic games coming up in france next month and i'm sure she will want to be part of that. they're a big horse trials through the year so on that front alone she will want to be back in action and there's a whole programme that is an important member of the royal family, she will have to cancel engagements but i'm sure she will make up for that and rearrange them as soon as she can. the prime minister hasjoined the current scottish conservatives leader douglas ross to unveil the party's manifesto in scotland. rishi sunak said the election in scotland was a choice between the tories and the snp. both leaders accused the snp of making this a "single issue" election — and in effect an "unofficial independence referendum". let's have a listen to what the prime minister had to say. all elections have consequences, but this vote in scotland matters so much. it will determine whether we have mps focused on the real priorities of the scottish people or whether the divisive constitutional wrangling of the last decade continues. if the snp win a majority, they will treat it as a mandate to carry on campaigning for independence for another five years, ignoring your priorities with mps achieving little at westminster. a vote for the scottish conservatives is a vote to put this issue to bed, to move past these tired and stale arguments, and to go forward united and together. the labour leader sir keir starmer was in the east midlands today and this is what he had to say on the controversy surrounding the gambling allegations against several conservatives. it's the middle of an election campaign and rishi sunak needs to show some leadership. if these were my candidates, i'll tell you what, they'd be gone. their feet wouldn't have touched the floor. there's a bigger argument here about politics, because the first instinct of these tories in a general election is not what can we do for our country, but let's see if we can make some money. that is part of the change that is absolutely vital at the election a week on thursday. as part of our your voice your vote series throughout the general election campaign, we're asking which issues matter most to you. among the many responses we have had are concerns about the environment. our climate editorjustin rowlatt has been to meet one viewer who wanted to talk more about a solar farm project planned for her area. welcome to the front line of the uk's battle to go green. it lies amongst the ancient churches and cosy cottages of the cotswolds, where there are plans for a huge new solar plant. like all the main political parties, except reform, local resident kate o'connor thinks more solar power is a great idea. we're on this beautiful country track. there are hedges to the left and right. and you really can't see it at all unless there's a gap. the botley west solar farm would cover 13 square kilometres with 2.5 million solar panels, and create enough electricity for more than a third of a million homes. kate is frustrated by the stand taken by virtually all the candidates locally. the challenge is, on the national level, the two big parties that have the best chance in my constituency say brilliant things about reaching net zero at the national level, but when it comes to backing a huge project like this, that can actually get us there, they're not interested. they're fighting against it_ you don't have to go far to find out why they take that position. i think it is ridiculous because it's all green fields, not brown fields. and apart from that, the size of it is unbelievably big. it would be a few miles long and a few miles wide if you were to put it all together. it would spoil several villages in the area. britain is alreadyl doing really well. i don't think we can sit on our laurels and sayl we're doing enough, but it's not that we have to have _ this solar panel installation otherwise the temperature | is going to rise by ten degrees. it's just not that urgent. let's find other ways. my opinion's quite mixed because we need the renewable energy if we don't face up to the facts. where we put them, that's the difficult one, isn't it? there's nothing exceptional about the cotswolds — solar plants, wind farms and the pylons that carry the power they generate to the grid create similar opposition all over the uk. virtually all of the uk's politicians argue we need more renewables so the challenge for them — and it is a big one — is how to get local people in places like this to agree to host these projects. justin rowlatt, bbc news. it's now more than a week since the british holiday—maker jay slater went missing on the spanish island of tenerife. the 19—year—old vanished after attending a music festival. search teams are focusing their efforts on a national park in the north of the island. from the island, fiona trott has more. we are here in the village of santiago which is about 15 minutes away from the site you have described and chase later's dad warren was here a few minutes ago, he was visibly upset and described what he is going through as a living hell but says he has faith in the police investigation. the reason he was here is that he was putting up posters yesterday, reaching out to the local community by putting up missing posters in spanish, appealing for more information. away from here, up on the mountain, that has been the focus of the police search. we have been there today, we haven't seen any search teams. what we have seen are more police cars there but the team is going out with sniffer dogs, we haven't seen that they are today. the police say they do not comment on ongoing investigations, they declined our request for interview, and they have not carried out any news conferences so one week on, we don't know how they are operating and how successful their inquiries have been so far. a yellow "heat health" alert has been issued for most of england, with temperatures set to reach 30 degrees celsius by the middle of the week. the health security agency says the alert will stay in place until thursday, as the weather could pose a risk to the elderly and other vulnerable groups, as duncan kennedy reports. on the south coast, the only monday morning blues were in the skies. mid—morning, and temperatures were already in the mid 20s. it's amazing. we're off work and we can spend some time together in the sun. yeah, ijust hope it lasts. but the uk health security agency has issued the first yellow heat health alert of the summer. for one retired couple, whatever the source of the heat, for their age group, caution is the key. have hats, have suncream and have loose clothing to cover yourself because you'll still burn even with sunscreen. so you've just got to be sensible with it. yellow heat health alerts are aimed at the young, too, including this family, with personal experience of what can happen. we've had family members that have had real issues with skin cancer, so it's something that's prominent to us. so, yeah, we'd advise everyone just to take the utmost precaution. at this lido in south east london, they're also aware of the heat alert, but are determined to enjoy the sun. so, the sun's out and about. it's lovely to be in the pool swimming, having a bit of time off work, going back, energising you. the message from the authorities is that when heat meets health, it calls for a mixture of enjoyment, but also respect. there's evidence that every major international football tournament like the euros or the world cup produces a sharp increase in domestic violence. research by lancaster university showed an increase of 38% when england lost a match and 26% when they won or drew. sussex police said the number of 999 calls linked to domestic abuse doubled during the last world cup compared to a normal month. with euro 2024 now well under way, our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford has been talking to one woman about the violence she has experienced, and seeing what the police are trying to do about the problem. the nextjob is a woman who has reported being assaulted by her ex—partner. we're out on patrol with a sussex police detective and a domestic violence adviser from west sussex council. they're visiting women at risk of violence as part of a campaign during the euros because domestic abuse always increases during football tournaments. it's very much a sort of a case of building confidence and a relationship with that individual. he got hold of a dressing gown cord and put it around my neck and tried to choke the life out of me. lisa spent 29 years in an extremely violent relationship with her ex—partner, lee. he's knocked me out a few times just from punches on my face. i'm out cold, out cold for hours on end. and he never got any help or anything like that. cigarette burns on my face. put cigarettes out on my face. supported by her son, josh, she told me that international football tournaments made things even worse. he gambled on the football every week. he left us without food, money, so he could gamble on the football. and if there was a tournament, he'd drink a lot. drink made him even worse. ten times worse. even if the money was in my bank account, which it very rarely was, he would demand it so that he could bet on the football, on a tournament, these particular tournaments in particular, because it's easier to bet on countries than it is on teams. because the football was on and because england had lost or spain had lost or... yeah, i knew exactly what was going to happen as soon as i walked through the door. we used to hide behind hedges, watching the house, waiting for him to leave so we could go home. yeah — last year, lee was jailed for 38 months at lewes crown court for controlling and coercive behaviour. i'm actually looking forward to this tournament so that me and my son can actually watch it in peace, you know. as they make their visits during the euros, the officers are giving advice to women at risk of violence, but also practical help, like door braces for holding doors shut against a perpetrator and panic alarms. women are also told that if they don't want to go to the police, there are other people they can call. in sussex police, we're very good at relentlessly pursuing domestic abuse perpetrators. we do that really well. but this piece of work is about preventing offences and protecting people. already during this tournament, there is evidence that calls about domestic violence have increased, but it's a problem that's now well recognised and the police are trying to do something about it. daniel sandford, bbc news. the trial has begun of a man accused of plotting the kidnap, rape and murder of the tv presenter holly willoughby. gavin plumb allegedly assembled a kit of tools to commit violence against the former this morning presenter, between 2021 and 2023. he denies the charges. our correspondent helena wilkinson is outside the court

planned what he would do. miss morgan kc also told the jury that gavin plumb initially spoke to one man in 2021 about his alleged plans and the prosecutor said the defendant allegedly told him, "i'm

12—year—old boy from somerset has become the first person in the world to trial a new form of treatment for epilepsy. oran knowlson, who was having multiple seizures a day, has been fitted with a device inside his skull known as a neurostimulator — which sends electrical signals deep into his brain. our medical editor fergus walsh has been following his progress — just a warning his report contains some images of surgery and seizures. would you like to try using this? you can, but i don't think it wipes off as well, does it? yeah. there's two more. thank you. oran is 12 years old. he has autism and adhd. ok, mama? yeah? but what is holding him back most is his epilepsy. he's not had a day without seizures since he was three. i had a fairly bright and together three—year—old that, within a few months of seizures commencing, deteriorated rapidly and lost a lot of skills. so, this is a tonic—clonic... oran has multiple seizures day and night. all right, 0k. some are so severe, he stops breathing. quinn. quinn, baby. i need your help, please. quinn. epilepsy seizures are triggered by abnormal bursts of electrical activity in the brain. these can often be controlled by drugs, but oran's form of epilepsy, known as lennox—gastaut syndrome, is so severe, nothing has helped. every moment of his life is affected because of his epilepsy. is it robbing him of some of his childhood? it's robbed him of all of his childhood, so far. i want oran back. i want the child that — or at least glimmers of the child that i remember, i want some of that back. i want him to find some of himself again. through the haze of seizures, i'd like to get my boy back. it's october 2023. oran is being prepared for major surgery at great 0rmond street hospital in london. he's the first child in the world to trial this device — a neurostimulator which will sit in his skull. we're number one, right. we'll start with 190. the device will send electrical impulses deep into oran's brain via two electrodes. the leads have to be inserted into the thalamus, a key relay station in the brain for sensory information. screw ready for the plate in due course. the placing of the leads requires millimetre—perfect precision. this study is hopefully going to allow us to identify really whether this is an efficacious treatment for epilepsy and also is looking at a new type of device which is particularly useful in children, because the implant is in the skull and not in the chest. and we hope that that will reduce the potential complications. not easy. after inserting the electrodes, they are carefully connected to the neurostimulator. then the device is placed into a gap cut out of oran's skull and is finally screwed into position. in the coming months, three more patients will undergo the same surgery here at gosh as part of the first ever trial in the uk of this device to treat severe childhood epilepsy. final checks complete, oran's surgery has gone without a hitch. looks pretty spot—on to me. it looks very good, so we're super—happy and that's really great. we now know that we've left him with the leads exactly where we want them to be. so that gives the best chance of the device working and reducing the seizures. a month later, oran and his parents are back at great 0rmond street for his device to be switched on. we are going to the maximum now. slowly, the current is increased to the target level. yeah, it's fine. it's hoped that constant, deep—brain stimulation will block the abnormal electrical signals triggering his seizures. can you reach it? good man, well done. laughter walk on. walk on, good man. and this is oran now. seven months on, it's immediately clear he's more active and independent. now aged 13, epilepsy no longer dominates his life. yee—haaa! seizure—wise, we have seen a massive improvement — severity is less and, yeah, he's a happier boy. we haven't had to resuscitate him since you last saw us. and just overall, we're seeing a much better quality of life, i think. and he's happier. sheep. - yeah, look. oran's daytime seizures have reduced by 80%. but further improvements are possible, as doctors plan to tailor his device to make it even more responsive to his brain activity. so you're optimistic for the future? very optimistic for the future. i think the great 0rmond street team gave us hope back, which was something we didn't have. now the future looks brighter. oran's family know his treatment is not a cure, but they're optimistic he will continue to emerge from the shadow cast by his epilepsy. fergus walsh, bbc news, somerset. we are back in a few minutes at the top of the hour with all the main stories, especially on the election front. the live page is being updated all the time and that story has just gone in of an evening updated all the time and that story hasjust gone in of an evening of political ping—pong, looking at the latest debate at 5:30pm, the son broadcasting its own election special with rishi sunak and keir starmer —— the sun. nick robinson will be interviewing the green party leader and we have a story about what young voters in belfast are thinking. another story on labour, saying they would meetjk rowling over the women only space issue, saying they would be happy to meet the author over the assurance of the protection of women only spaces. and the big story today, we will get more on this at five o'clock, the iss on why the two biggest parties reject the ifs criticism. labour and tories are pushing back on that analysis. and also the question that has been raised, perhaps an obvious one, our political campaigns successfully run on complete honesty —— our political campaigns —— are political campaigns run successfully on complete honesty? we will be discussing that with guests from different sides of the political spectrum. now it's time for a look at the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good afternoon. well, we're

receiving appropriate expert care and will remain here in bristol hospital unless or until her medical team advised otherwise. in terms of the incident that happened yesterday, it still not clear exactly what the princess offered. she was out walking we're told on the estate but somehow came into contact with a horse. she wasn't writing but they have somehow collided with a horse and that because the head injury and the concussion she suffered. we know emergency medical teams were called to the estate, we know her husband and children were on the estate at the time but perhaps not with

to spend at least a few more nights here in hospital. the palisade as a precaution. the medical advises she's had to cancel royal engagement for the rest of of the week. she's been a very busy working

understand she was driven here by road and the palisade she remains conscious, as a precautionary under observation and not to continue any more royal duties at least for the week. to politics now, and a leading think tank — the institute for fiscal studies — has accused the main political parties of a "conspiracy of silence" over the economic reality behind plans set out in their election manifestos. the ifs analysed how the policies could impact the public finances and what that could mean for household incomes, public services and taxation. in its scathing assessment it said the parties were "ducking the issues" by relying on faster growth to deliver more tax — which it said was far from guaranteed. it also warned the next government faced having to find new ways to raise taxes, or leave some public services exposed to billions of pounds worth of cuts. let's speak to carl emmerson, deputy director of the ifs. thank you forjoining us, carl. i watch the briefing earlier today. take us to the main points. t watch the briefing earlier today. take us to the main points. i think the big picture _ take us to the main points. i think the big picture here _ take us to the

here is that the public finances or whoever is going to be prime minister orjust after the election remain very challenging. we have taxes already at a level would not seen before in the uk. we have many public services under quite a lot of strain, a weak outlook for growth and a lot of money being spent on net interest for growth and a lot of money being spent on net interest. us reading the conservative and labour party manifestos they are not really managing the scale of that challenge. the fact that if you want to keep the numbers set out in the march budget you have to find several billion pounds worth of cuts, both to investment spending into day—to—day spending on many unprotected public services. services like the justice system, education areas which receive very big cuts right through the 2010s. it big cuts right through the 20105. it is the big cut5 right through the 20105. it is the implication of if they do stick to what they have said publicly that actually, no party could deliver much transformation in public services? t could deliver much transformation in public services?— public services? i think there's ruite a public services? i think there's quite a big _ public services? i think there's quite a big gap _ public services? i think there's quite a big gap between - public services? i think there's quite a big gap between the i public services? i think there's i quite a big gap between the very specific, precise measures that are costed and those parties manifestos alongside some of the rhetoric about what they want to achieve. you can see for example a pledge from the conservative and labour parties to spend an extra billion or two on the nhs by the end of the next parliament. they show how they think they can pay for that. yet both of them have signed up to the nhs workforce plan, which we think will cause something like £40 billion a year plus to finance by the end of the parliament. they have that commitment to honour that workforce plan without any sense of how that much bigger commitment would be paid for. ~ . much bigger commitment would be paid for. . ., ., much bigger commitment would be paid for. ., ., much bigger

that money and see that money being available? tt’s that money being available? it's ruite that money being available? tt�*s quite plausible that growth will turn out very differently to what we expect. we must hope it turns out better than we expect and that would help a lot. it could deliver a lot of extra revenue for the government. we can hope for the best but we also have to realise that it's already the case that the government sets two physical arithmetic six is based on a set of forecasts that look more optimistic than most. i think a downgrade in the forecast is probably more likely than an upgrade. while it's nothing wrong with hoping for the best, i think we have to plan on a central scenario, produce a plan a for that. it's also reasonable to ask those seeking office, what would they do if things turn out worse than we expect if through no fault of their own somehow we get a bag shock. what were they really prioritise, it would be more cuts, would be tax rises or be allowed barring and get to stay high for longer? t rises or be allowed barring and get to stay high for longer?— to stay high for longer? i think both main _ to stay high for longer? i think both

back a bit on your analysis. isn't there a sort of political truth here as well? they are notjust fighting this election campaign based on economic data. this is politics, about the art of persuading the public to trust you and you come up with you and maybe in our political culture at the moment it's difficult to say to people, 0k were going to put up your taxes. t to say to people, ok were going to put up your taxes-— put up your taxes. i can see it's difficult to — put up your taxes. i can see it's difficult to fess _ put up your taxes. i can see it's difficult to fess up _ put up your

up to the fact that these are our priorities, these are the things we really want to do. if we have to make cuts elsewhere and put taxes up elsewhere that's what we have to do to pay for it. i can see it's a challenging conversation to have with the electorate. if you're trying to improve trust in politics i also think that that's a much more honest approach than promising a whole load of things with no sense of prioritisation, only to find in two or three years' time that not everything can be delivered. i don't think you gain trust by promising things were actually the price that means they're not all afforded. actually, there is this trilemma, it is about our you content to see taxes rise further, are you content to deliver more cuts on top of what we already had or are you content to see borrowing and debt rise further. it looks like you're going to have to pick between those three rather unpleasant options rather than wishful thinking that says, oh, no, if we get more growth everything will be easier we can hope for the best but i think we have to plan for a more realistic scenario. t5 it best but i think we have to plan for a more realistic scenario.— a more realistic

years. i can see that something that can be done when you're inside government. i think a bigger picture level it is possible to say what the priorities are, what areas they really want to focus on. i

of time to read all the party manifestos yourself. and you're not sure who to vote for, this guide on the bbc news website gives a summary of where parties stand on some of the key issues. polling day is next week. the prime minister has said he is "not aware of any other candidate" being investigated over alleged bets placed on the timing of a general election. four conservatives are being looked into by the gambling commission, including two standing in the general election. the former minister tobias ellwood has told the bbc rishi sunak should suspend the candidates involved, and former minister andrea leadsom says she wouldn't campaign for someone "under that cloud". our political correspondent harry farley reports. ten days from polling day and rishi sunak, speaking today in scotland, has a major headache over its surprise date and allegations that bets were placed by those in the know. conservative candidates laura saunders and craig williams are being looked into, as well as two other tory officials and a police officer. misss saunders said she would co—operate with the gambling commission. mr williams apologised and said he had made an error ofjudgment. this morning, rishi sunak has been speaking to reporters in edinburgh and asked if he could rule out whether others close to him had placed bets on the election timing, he said he is not aware of any other candidates the gambling commission is investigating, but he did add that the commission does not reveal the names of those it is looking at. and important to remember that the gambling commission investigations are independent, i don't have the details of those, they don't obviously report to me, but what i can tell you that we have in parallel conducted our own internal inquiries and will of course act on any relevant findings or information. today, a former minister has said there is no doubt the existing revelations will cost the conservatives seats. thi5 betting 5aga has been deeply unhelpful, self—inflicted distraction. and triggered by a few individuals. in what world they thought this was acceptable is beyond belief. should the prime minister have suspended the two conservative candidates? well, given the scale of this, as we see now, and the potential for this story to continue to eclipse, to overshadow the election, i would now agree. opposition parties cannot believe their luck that this is dominating. rishi sunak needs to show some leadership. if these were my candidates, i tell you what, they would be gone, their feet wouldn't have touched the floor. there was a bigger argument here about politics, because the first instinct of these tories about the general election is not, "what can we do for our country? " but "let's see if we can make some money. " more people than those already known about are being looked into over alleged bets on the election, so the possibility of more names emerging still hangs over this finalfull week of campaigning. harry farley, bbc news, westminster. shadow chancellor rachel reeves says labour would be "really happy" to meetjk rowling to provide her "assurances" over the protection of women—only spaces. the author criticised the party in the times last week, accusing it of a "dismissive and often offensive" approach to women's concerns. reeves says protection of single—sex spaces for women would "absolutely stay", adding that her party was "not going to be changing anything around biological sex". the snp have been in aberdeen today, pushing their manifesto message that scotland needs independence and eu membership. the party leader — john swinney — was asked by the bbc if relying on an independence vote as a path to rejoining the eu was a realistic position to take. it's pretty clear from all that's been said in this election campaign that the conservative and labour parties have absolutely shut the doorfirmly on the prospect of us going back into the european union, despite the fact that we now have all the evidence in front of us that brexit is doing colossal damage to the scottish and the united kingdom economies, and also to our public finances. in the face of that evidence, i would have thought the uk parties would have charted a route to repair their relationship with europe, but they are both shutting the door firmly closed. so what that means is, if people in scotland want to rejoin the european union to overcome the damage of brexit, they've got to vote for the scottish national party and pave the way through independence. throughout the day we're taking a close look at how this election is playing out in northern ireland. my colleague annita mcveigh is in the titanic quarter — which is in the belfast east constituency. hi. hi, thank you very

ill—fated titanic first launch into the water and the museum that is over behind our camera man's position, talks about that important part of belfast in northern ireland history. this whole area, this massive area, the titanic water is all about the regeneration of northern ireland. the future of northern ireland for that we have interesting conversations today for that with me now to think a

you can go to the bbc website put in your postcode and you will see a full list of the candidates in your respective constituency. i hope today and the people we have been talking to here in the tartaric water and belfast have left you better informed about what the big issues are in the general election in northern island. of course we will keep her across it up to polling day and beyond. the sun will be putting questions to rishi sunak and keir starmer. will bring you the best bits a little bit later. let's get the latest from our clinical correspondent and the spin room. harry,

appear. he will face question from the sun and then sir keir starmer will appear after that. in this format, it's a third time we've had this format with a live audience asking questions of the two men vying to be prime minister. in the previous formats we've seen key members from the bow. keir starmer askedif members from the bow. keir starmer asked if he was a bit robotic. and perhaps struggled to answer that. in rishi sunak rather asked about his own personal wealth and challenge notjust own personal wealth and challenge not just on own personal wealth and challenge notjust on his 18 months or so in charge but on the conservatives previous 14 years in power. the spin room here is busy. it's lively, with that printjournalism and other broadcasters here. these debates are watched closely. it's worth saying that we've had several of these debates are far, both involving just keir starmer a rishi sunakfor the keir starmer a rishi sunak for the none keir starmer a rishi sunakfor the none so far have materially changed the leave that labour do have across multiple poles for that that's not to say it's, were in the last full days of campaigning and i think we can expect that audience of sun readers to challenge both keir starmer and rishi sunak quite heavily tonight. has starmer and rishi sunak quite heavily tonight.— heavily tonight. has it been politically — heavily

the sun tried to choose largely undecided voters they tried to go over in equal mix of genders. otherthan tried to go over in equal mix of genders. other than that it is not politically weighted in the whole democratic quickly waited otherwise. in terms of questions, we've been talking all day about the gambling story. at be surprised if that doesn't come up first and foremost. rishi sunak saying he was not aware of any other conservative candidates are being looked into by the gambling commission. that doesn't necessarily rule out party officials of conservative party for that which is two and jerked keen to talk about that given the difficulties of that story and saying the conservatives inquiry into the difficulty of this is trying to knock the story into the long grass. the labour questions around their position on gender identity. keir starmer saying he does not want gender identity taught in schools there are questions as whether that decision is slightly different from his education secretary or shadow education secretary or shadow education secretary who didn't seem to want to comment but seem to indicate over the weekend that she sought the governments plans and guidance had drifted far too much into partisan and unnecessary language. that is the word she had used over the weekend. difficult questions for both parties that we can expect from that live audience this evening. harry farley, thank you very much. i'm joined by farming minister now. just first on the question of the gambling inquiry that's been taken up internally. what is a conservative party process for that? what is a conservative party process forthat? is what is a conservative party process for that? is there not a point behind tobias l woods points made earlier today that at least the two candidates should be suspended? because this issue is overshadowing your own election campaign. tt’s your own election campaign. it's enormously _ your own election campaign. tit�*3 enormously frustrating. for me as a candidate i know colleagues also knocking on doors we don't want to talk about this we want to talk about policies and the future and our plans to continue to improve the country. it is enormously frustrating. the government commission are running in investigation. they've asked us not to give commentary on that. it is important that the investigation and

made an allegation about me, someone who is completely innocent and then i was suspended and removed as a candidate at be very upset about that. as a completely innocent person, i think that would be unfair to remove those people and removed the conservative party whip who has not been convicted of a crime until we know the full facts. let's establish the full facts as quickly as possible as to who knew what, when. and then take action if action is necessary. at the same time we have to respect the gambling commission was asked us not to do ruling commentary because i'm not helping here for that they want to have their own space to get to the facts and investigate that. thank you for taking those questions. can i move onto the ifs report which you would've seen? they have fleshed out their point they've been making for some point that they feel labour conservatives in particular are gay engage in seeing and what they can say correct conspiracy of silence and painful truth. your

come of the difficult decisions that we have to make and the implications of some decisions that other people want us to take. it is very good track record of being pretty stream with people about the

set despite struggling with her serve. bouzkova levelled matters, before the 27 year old dart held her nerve to set up a third round meeting with former wimbledon champion and world numberfour rybakina of kazhakstan, who received a bye in the first round. elaine is an incredible champion and she is a really hard ball striker and get behind me hopefully we can never a flat match. a potentially dramatic day ahead at euro 2024. no let up in the action in germany, two more matches this evening, both 8pm kick—offs, the turn of group b to be settled. spain, we know, will definitely

need to win to go through to the last 16. italy lost to spain last time out, while croatia were held by albania. we know the situation, we know it is a knockout match, just without extra time and we

this story of the gambling accusations, we heard them saying today that he thought prime ministers should suspend the two candidates because it is a distraction from the main campaign message, is there something in that? to move the story on, if you are thinking about it from a pure technical point of view it would be sensible and curtail this. i think the response back would be that he needs to go through to process perez was the prime minister is concerned, he needs to curtail the damage it's making to his campaign. gieeh making to his campaign. given everything _ making to his campaign.

good evening. well, it's been hot and humid today right across the uk with temperatures well above the seasonal average for many, some of the best of the sunshine in the highest of the temperatures across eastern areas of scotland, such as here in aberdeenshire. but for scotland and northern ireland, we've just seen the warmest day of the week. it will be turning fresher from the north and the west from tomorrow. some showers at times, but the hot, humid air stays towards the south. still as we head through the next few days now, the fresher feeling conditions come behind this cold front that's going to be sinking southwards and eastwards through tomorrow. it starts to make inroads overnight tonight, just pushing some showers, some outbreaks of rain, more cloud across the western isles and down through northern ireland. it's going to feel muggy, sticky tonight, uncomfortable forsleeping, particularly across parts of east yorkshire, where temperatures may not dip below 16 or 17 degrees celsius. elsewhere, 14/15. to start the day, there'll be lots of low clouds and mist and some murk again, mostly for western coasts. more cloud around throughout the day tomorrow across scotland and northern ireland, but brighter by the end of the afternoon or so, feeling a lot cooler, particularly across northern scotland there some showers for eastern scotland down through northern england, but across much of the rest of england and wales, it's still warm. temperatures above the average, close to 30 degrees celsius in the south and the east. and of course the pollen levels for much of the uk will again be very high. of course, we're well into the grass pollen season now on wednesday we look out towards the atlantic to find this deep area of low pressure rolling in from the north west. that's going to change things across the board as we head towards the end of the working week. but still on wednesday, we've got some areas of cloud around some showers, mostly towards the northern half of the uk. northern ireland probably seen quite a little brightness and sunshine also for western scotland, but fresher. here again, it's warm, it's humid, it's dry and it's sunny for the most part towards much of the south and the east. now, wednesday into thursday, our area of low pressure is going to be sending these weather fronts sweeping eastwards across the whole of the uk, eventually introducing that cooler feeling air across the board. so if we just take a look at the outlook for our capital cities, you can see that by the time we get to friday, temperatures are much closer to the seasonal average, but of course, still warm in the sunshine. bye for now. today at six. princess anne is in hospital with concussion, after apparently being injured by a horse. the princess, who is 73, was walking on her estate in gloucestershire yesterday when the incident happened. a man goes on trial accused of plotting to kidnap, rape and murder the tv presenter holly willoughby. summer finally arrives for many, though heat health alerts warn of the risks to vulnerable people. i'm here in belfast, looking at whether the political landscape might change in this general election. also, how much more tax might we be paying? the main parties are accused of a conspiracy silence over their election proposals. and the issues that matter to you. we speak to a mother who got in touch over the lack of support for carers. coming up on bbc news — disappointment but still something of a fanfare. scotland leave their bavarian base to head home after being knocked out of the european championship. hello, welcome to the bbc news at six. princess anne is in hospital with concussion after apparently
