also this hour, how climate change is transforming the british garden. they will be looking at new techniques because of rising temperatures. and looking for love online — one rhino‘s search for a partner on the dating app tinder. good morning. welcome to bbc newsroom live. the labour party has switched its election campaigning to the nhs today — pledging to give a bigger pay rise to nhs staff in england if it wins the general election. labour says it would scrap tuition fees and restore bursaries for student nurses and midwives which are due to end in august. the party says it would end the current 1% cap on wage increases, in part because nhs staff had been "undervalued, overworked and underpaid" by the government. labour says. and it says its policies would be paid for by reversing corporation tax cuts. the party says a labour government would also introduce tougher rules to ensure that staffing levels in hospitals are safe. the shadow health secretary, jon ashworth, said the money was there if the right choices were made. let's be absolutely clear. when you can find william is for corporation tax cuts, inheritance tax cuts, millions for other grammar schools and pet projects, when it comes to the nhs, what prevents the primaries to from acting is not the financial constraints of the economy but the dogmatic constraints of our ideology. —— heart ideology. the health secretaryjeremy hunt questioned how labour would fund their ambitions, which he says would create less safe hospital wards. there is always a case for paying losses more. they work extremely hard. —— nurses. labour have already promised us money from corporation tax 12 times. the promise that for tuition fees, the schools budget... if you do not really have that money, what you end up having to do is employ fewer nurses and that means is employ fewer nurses and that m ea ns less is employ fewer nurses and that means less safe hospital wards. in the end, the big question here is how we get more money into the nhs and social care systems by protecting our economy through a good brexit deal. theresa may is the only person who can deliver that. with me is candace imison, director of policy at the health think tank the nuffield trust. welcome. you have just welcome. you havejust published your views on the house of lords investigation into the sustainability of the nhs over the next 15 years. in that, you say that the pressures on the nhs workforce are as great, if not a greater threat to the future sustainability of services as the pressure on finances. firstly, what has happened to applications for nursing courses since bursaries were abolished? we have dropped about a quarter. we crucially need nurses coming into the workforce. as bill is the applications for nursing falling, that sits alongside a rising rate of vacancies for north posts in the nhs. what evidence is there that the pay cap is affecting recruitment and retention? so, we're very concerned that the constraints that nurses have had on pay... since 2010, they have seen a 14% real reduction in pay, courtesy of the constraints they have had on that. clearly, that will impact on the attractiveness of nursing as a profession. what are the implications of that for the nice recommendations for safe staffing ratios? gneiss had set out a range of reissues to work out safe staffing alliance. the figure that lots of people called to mind is that there should be a maximum number of patients per registered nurse. “— number of patients per registered nurse. —— nice have set out a range of issues to work out safe staffing levels. in your report, you say that there are serious and growing gaps in the nhs workforce in numbers and skills as well. what a thought that the —— to be the best ways of addressing those? we said in our evidence that we thought pay should be looked at. it was not sustainable to keep table 01’ it was not sustainable to keep table or —— pay below inflation. it is crucial that staff are trained adequately. we had only concerned about the cuts that we have seen in training budgets. bursaries arejust one parcel that. it is crucial for continued development, to give nurses a feeling that they have a clear that contain forward. the gaps that you referred to, these being filled by presumably more expensive agency staff? absolutely. agency staff are filling the gaps at the moment and from recruiting staff overseas, which is expensive of itself. with brexit coming, there are concerns as to how sustainable thatis are concerns as to how sustainable that is as well. very good of you to give us those facts. thank you very much for that. our assistant political editor norman smith is in westminster. norman, we have just norman, we havejust heard norman, we have just heard the views of the nuffield trust health think tank. as for the politicians and their views on how to deal with these issues, such as gaps in recruitment and retaining staff in the nhs, well, we are hearing two very different routes depending about whether you're listening dumb at hearing from labour of love conservatives. the labour responses to argue quite simply that more money is needed and the lack of funds going into the nhs is impacting on the sort of service that the nhs provides and that trying to ensure nurses are adequately paid is critical. if you are to retain adequate staffing levels. secondly, they also want to make sure that the wards have to have a legally safe number of staff on duty. they are suggesting you should be a review and guideline should be a review and guideline should be a review and guideline should be drawn up which they would then legislate on to ensure that hospitals have to have a certain number of nurses on duty. that will mean extra money because you will be taking on additional staffing. lastly, of course, there is the bringing back of bursaries. also cost money. so you're talking about is sort of multi—billion pounds bill which labour will have to meet when it comes to the nhs. on top of which, they have also said more generally that they will meet the funding requirements of the health service. there has been now adding up service. there has been now adding up so much as maicon do but i imagine it will be several billion pounds. —— as to how much it might come to. which they might achieve bike reversing things like inheritance tax cuts, alongside other things. and in a way this might be to make his argument is elderly overarching issue of brexit. norman, can you hear me? norman, are you able to hear me? what a shame. we have lost norman but we hope to get back to him later. because of course today is the final prime minister's questions before the election. so we will want to hear from norman on that. there will be plenty more on the election throughout the day. i'll be speaking to the mirror's kevin maguire and katy balls, political correspondent at the spectator. we'll be looking at what to expect from the election campaign in coming weeks. we'll be live to westminster 12 men for the final premises questions ahead of the election on june eight. several men from the professional football industry have been arrested over suspected income tax and national insurance fraud. the bbc understands hmrc officials raided west ham's offices at the london stadium this morning and seized documents. officers have also been deployed in the north east of england and france. our correspondent peter harris is in newcastle. what can you tell us about this? as well as west ham united, we became aware earlier this morning the newcastle united was also involved and revenue and customs had searched premises in the north—east of england. we understand that to be saintjames of england. we understand that to be saint james ‘s park, of england. we understand that to be saintjames ‘s park, the home of newcastle united, and the home of the club's —— and the club's managing director was led away. this also involves the french authorities. 100m revenue and customs officers in this country being assisted by the french authorities. this is an investigation into suspected income tax and national insurance fraud. what do we know from the newcastle under things about lee charnley, the managing director here? he has been a managing director for the managing director here? he has been a managing directorfor the last three years but he is very much part of the fabric of newcastle united. he has been involved with the club for most of his adult life. he was only 36 when he became managing director and has been involved with the club for about 20 years. this is a significant blow on a sporting level for newcastle as well because only two days ago, the club won back its place in the premier league. inevitably, these events to create further uncertainty around st james' park. this morning, we have had a statement from revenue and customs. i will read part of that. it says hmrc has arrested several men working within the professional football industry for a suspected income tax and national insurance fraud. it goes on to say that this criminal investigation sends a clear message that whoever you are, if you commit tax fraud, you can expect to face the consequences. there has been no further comment because clearly this investigation still is ata clearly this investigation still is at a very early stage. but we do know that officers from revenue and customs have searched the premises of west ham united and newcastle united this morning. peter, thank you for that. peter harris in newcastle. surrey police have been strongly criticised for returning a collection of shotguns to a man who went on to kill his partner and her daughter. christine and lucy lee were shot by 82—year—old john lowe in 2014. a report by the independent police complaints commission has highlighted serious failings by the force as our correspondent duncan kennedy reports. this was the moment police arrived atjohn lowe's farm to find he had murdered to women. he shot his partner christine lee and her daughter lucy at close range using a shotgun. lowe, 82 at the time, was laterjailed for life. thejudge's recommendation was that he serve at least 25 years. it emerged that one year before the murders, lowe had a number of shotguns seized by surrey police but the weapons had then been returned to him. they included the shotgun he used on the two women. today, that decision by surrey police to hand the guns back was severely criticised by the independent police complaints commission. we found systematic failings from the local force and we also think that there are lessons to be learnt nationally for police services to ensure that their firearms licensing teams are up to the job. surrey police have apologised to the family of christine and lucy lee, saying that the decision to hand back the shotguns was flawed. it said that one firearms officer had been sacked and another retired. today's report said the death of christine and lucy was a shocking event and that while these incidents were rare, all forces had to check carefully anybody who wanted a gun. with me is our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford. the daughter of christine lee, the sister of lucy lee, still looking forjustice. the issue is that when the firearms officers were asked to decide whether or not these shotguns should be returned, it is quite clear that all they looked at was whether or not this complaint about what had happened, a threat to shoot another person previously, had gone forward. because that was dropped, because the complainant did not want to pursue any father, the licensing officers did not look at the bigger picture ofjohn lowe. stacy banner, speaking to victoria derbyshire today, said it was a terrible sequence of events that led to her mother's death. i called the police are dangerously was. i told the police that he would kill and he was. i told the police that he would killand he did. he was. i told the police that he would kill and he did. he called my mum and my sister. —— killed. ultimately, i have no other family other than my husband and children. lam i am really family of my mum and sister and i have no i am really family of my mum and sisterand i have no mum and i am really family of my mum and sister and i have no mum and sister now. thanks to surrey police. stacy banner speaking. a number of lessons for the police to learn from this, not only in surrey but nationwide, about how the examine whether someone should have possession of firearms or not. the bigger picture is that theyjust have to take it more seriously. what seems to happen in this case is that the officers... there was a rubber—stamp investigation. the complaint has been dropped, it is probably ok. we would get with his gp, you probably —— he probably has alzheimer's, but we will go and assessing ourselves she seems all right, let's give him his guns back. surrey police have been told that they have to improve the training of officers and that has to be taken much more seriously. officers need to not just look much more seriously. officers need to notjust look at much more seriously. officers need to not just look at the complaint but the bigger picture. there were other incidents withjohn lowe dating back to 1996. nationally, there is an issue whereby police officers are tending to use the criminal burden of proof beyond all reasonable doubt when actually the courts have said we should be using it on the balance of probability. the decision to take away the firearms licence should be much more easily made. that said, surrey police have always considered that they have made mistakes and this is what they had to say this morning. in policing, we come to work each day to save lives and protect the vulnerable. in this case, we have clearly failed in that duty. that leads to some deep soul—searching and deep regret as to what has happened here. in march 2013, following concerns raised to us, we seized these shotguns. there then followed a three—month investigation, at the end of which it decision was taken to retirement. that was clearly wrong. there was not a thorough risk assessment done. the information given from medical practitioners was not thoroughly assessed. seven months later, it led to this horrific double murder, for whichjohn lowe to this horrific double murder, for which john lowe is to this horrific double murder, for whichjohn lowe is now serving life sentences and will moderate die in prison. it paints a picture that in some forces, these firearms licensing officers have quite a friendly relationship with the people who hold the firearms and to have the licences. it is about trying to build a distance. there is no problem being friendly with them, but you have to have a cold, investigated distance when you make decisions about whether or not someone should be allowed to have a gun. daniel, thank you very much. the headlines on bbc newsroom live... labour pledges a pay increase for nhs staff — and no tuition fees for student nurses and midwives — if it wins the general election. several people working within football are arrested as the grounds of newcastle united and west ham united are raided in a fraud investigation. surrey police are strongly criticised for returning shotguns to a man who went on to murder his partner and her daughter. and sunderland manager david moyes has been charged by the fa after he was caught on

higgins is the first man through to the semifinals of the world snooker championship. he won 13—6 against kyren wilson. i will be back with more stories at half past. the entire us congress will get a briefing today from senior officials on north korea's missile and nuclear programme. the us military has also begun installing parts of an advanced missile defence system in south korea. hundreds of local residents protested and some clashed with police as a convoy of vehicles carried equipment to the site, a former golf course in the south of the country. south korea and america have also been conducting their own joint live fire manoeuvres. our correspondent steve evans is there. there are a couple of rituals to these exercises that happen at this time every year. and every year, the tension rises. it is almost like the season of high tension in south korea. north korea says it is a rehearsal for korea. north korea says it is a rehearsalfor invasion. tension is quite high this year but not as high as it was four years ago. the whole atmosphere in south korea is quite surreal at the moment. you have these live fire exercises and then a kind of grandstand for spectators. outside south korea, you get the sense of war fever sometimes and a genuine belief that war is about to start here. in south korea, they have been through these seasons of high tension too many times did think this is the one. they might be wrong they might be right. this season of high tension is just about to be over and the focus of attention then moves to washington. what is it that presidentjohn is thinking? —— president trump. more on the general election. one of the key seats in the forthcoming general election is mansfield in nottinghamshire, which is seen as a three—way marginal. labour have held it since 1923 but it was one of the places with the biggest vote to leave the eu. it's also a town which has had to rebuild its economic base since the end of coalmining. our political correspondent tony roe is in mansfield for us. good morning. how is the race shaping up there? mansfield, there was a time when it would be young conservative politicians like ken clarke in 1964, who would stand in mansfield to get a taste of defeat. but not any more. there are real changes happening in this town. if there is one image which shows how mansfield has changed over the past 30 years, it is this. abandoned in the corner of a mansfield park, the wheels began to stop turning on the wheels began to stop turning on the nottinghamshire coal industry a generation ago. this generation, labour seat from us the century has changed. mansfield is a real hub for small businesses. it has a really zillion workforce and that is a lot of support by the local district councils. they have put things in place to support businesses and growth. this is a long-standing family firm that used to produced the local newspaper. now provides jobs for 800 people. newjobs and a new age. other companies on an area where coal mining facilities once did providejobs as where coal mining facilities once did provide jobs as well. we have a touch base type of office in the london area because we do need that in our construction avoided industry, but being in the heart of the country really helps us logistically. another symbol of the mining past is close by. union offices at the centre of conflict during the 1984 miners' strike have been squeezed out by new homes, selling for over half a million. but go down the hill into the town centre and optimism is not so easy to find. some feel neglected and people in the new homes are shopping someone else. it has not changed and not in last 30 years. there was the loss of industry and we are building new houses on the peripherals like, but the investment in the town has been quite slow. this was a labour town which voted heavily, 7—30, to leave the eu. will that influence how people vote injune? power is changing in mansfield. will this powerful 3—way marginal seat be that way in election as well? we are at the company we shalljulia indo film, one of mansfield's biggest employers. nick of the company, how did you react when the pits close 30 years ago? —— nick linney. i think most people thought mansfield would go straight down the plug but this town is full of great people and there is a great commodity of human endeavour here. you could see that call was running out. but we do what people do, make other arrangements and we are still here. things are changing and the town is very heavily and teu. why is that so? is it the deprivation, a kickback against that? it could be. who actually knows the answer? i cannot speak for the town. at a kind of thing mansfield people don't really like being told what to do all the time. we have lost all the coal—mining and textiles. but we're still here and it is a good and improving town. most of us have had to, most people have put their political views aside. they have not abandoned them but put them aside and other new mansfield, which is coming out of coal—mining and textiles. putting your political views aside, what you want from the next government to give mansfield a bit more of a boost to help it get on the road to recovery even quicker? it might sound strong, but we do not want politicians pontificating. we want people to do things. mansfield has done things is why it is here. our political masters could do with stopping nagging away at us and telling us what is right and wrong the time and just do things thanks very much indeed. mansfield is a 3—way marginaland as we indeed. mansfield is a 3—way marginal and as we said at the start, it will be interesting to see what happens to that ukip vote. it is number eight on their hit list. one to watch. thank you. a rhino called sudan is looking for love on the dating app tinder. his keepers in kenya have posted his details on the site, hoping the 43—year old animal will find a female rhino to help protect the species, as tim allman reports. #je t‘aime # oui, je t‘aime # meet sudan. he is literally one—of—a—kind, the last male northern white rhino on earth. and what do you do if you are feeling lonely these days? go online. tinder is going to broadcast for our rhino, sedan. it will be broadcast in190 rhino, sedan. it will be broadcast in 190 countries in 40 languages. it is really the first time that tinder has done something like that, to that skill. sudan claims to perform well under pressure and says he likes to eat grass and chill in the mud, and admits to being six foot tall and weighing 5,000lbs. that's more than 2,000 kilos. sudan is not really looking to hook up online. this is all about raising around $9 million needed for fertility treatment. sudan, having failed to breed successfully the old—fashioned way sudan having failed to breed successfully the old—fashioned way with these two female northern white rhinos, but there are thousands of southern white rhinos who might be able to help. this is something that will have to be replicated and done that skill. we're going to have a breeding programme in kenya to continue to build the number of northern whites so that eventually we have sufficient numbers ultimately to be able to reintroduce them back into the national park. the whole project could take ten or even 15 years and sudan is 43. that's almost 100 in rhino years. so, swipe right while you can! here's hoping they will be able to preserve that magnificent species. breaking news coming from manchester. we have been told the fire

are only a week into the campaign but as the real fight begins, what are we likely to expect? joining me from westminster is kevin maguire, associate editor at the daily mirror, and katy balls, political correspondent at the spectator. good morning to both of you. listening to the focus on health today, it strikes me that the conservatives will talk about everything in two contexts — one, strong leadership, and secondly the contest of who can get the best brexit deal to carry out whatever plans that party has for the uk. are there any dangers, firstly, in that strategy for the conservatives? and secondly, how are the other party is going to try to counteract that? cove red, going to try to counteract that? covered, if i could begin with you. strong and stable leadership is the mantra of theresa may. she said it about a dozen times yesterday in wales. they say you need a decent deal to fund public services and so on and labour will try to turn attention onto policies including the nhs, staffing levels in hospitals and the pay of nurses. the problem for the conservatives is the attention now when they look so far head in the polls and talking about the possibility ofjeremy corbyn far more than many despondent labour mps is that they talk it up too far it will look like a foregone conclusion —do will look like a foregone conclusion — do you want britain to be a i—party — do you want britain to be a 1— party state ? people — do you want britain to be a i—party state? people may not turn out to vote. so there is a real dilemma in the conservative party campaign, how farthey dilemma in the conservative party campaign, how far they put it to win looks a certainty. one boka your thoughts? theresa may said yesterday that britain is ought not to be complacent but it is hard but to be doubtful about this. the constituencies she is visiting are not marginals, they are quite decent ones that the tories are trying to overturn. do you think labour in particular is going to have quite a ha rd particular is going to have quite a hard time getting the electorate to focus on individual issues like the nhs, like education, given that we have this overarching issue of brexit? labour have announced several quite popular domestic policies. we have more bank holidays, more money for nhs staff. but the problem is brexit and yesterday kier starmer the shadow brexit secretary tried to give a speech in many media appearances clarifying labour's brexit position, which created more confusion and led to allegations labour can't be trusted on brexit by either side. kevin, more than any other election you have covered, do you think this is going to be a one issue election? i don't agree that there was confusion. i thought there was more clarity from kier starmer on brexit but there is no doubt it is going to be the dominant issue. but it won't be the dominant issue. but it won't be the dominant issue. but it won't be the only issue. people are concerned about their living standards, health, education. they will be looking at who they think is the most competent figure to be prime minister. you've certainly got brexit in a way you didn't have in 2010 when we had a change of government from labour to conservative/ liberal democrat coalition, or 1997, the 20th anniversary will be wada —— rather soon, when labour had a much wider offered to the electorate. it will be there in the background but it won't be the sole reason people vote. this isn't a rerun of a referendum because labour now, like the conservative government, brexiters going to happen. the liberal democrats want to challenge with a second referendum, the snp are opposed to it in scotland, which didn't vote for brexit, so yes, brexit is a huge issue and will still be there but lots of other issues will crowding and quite rightly so because this is a general election about who will rule britain for the next five years, not just about the terms of a deal with the other 27 about the terms of a deal with the other27 eu members. about the terms of a deal with the other 27 eu members. so, katy, on that point, if brexit is the huge issue but not the only one, is the question of who the leader, the prime minister will be, actually the next biggest issue, rather than a policies, perhaps? yeah, ithink theresa may is hoping to make the opportunity of a weak opposition to make very few policy pledges. the 2015 manifesto had 625 pledges and it is going to be a lot slimmer and she doesn't want to make any pledges that are going to tie her hands when it comes to challenges ahead. in a line from both of you, katy and kevin, what sort of majority would theresa may need to get to make on this election worthwhile?” theresa may need to get to make on this election worthwhile? i think for lots of tory mps, anything around the 50 mark would be a disappointment so it needs to be above 50. i think that's true, although at the end of the day if she got her majority of 17 back, she would have gained an extra two years and she would have five years in power, although her authority would be diminished. i think 50, power, although her authority would be diminished. ithink 50, 60, but they are talking about 100, 150. let's see what happens in the polls to talk their six weeks to go and the great thing about elections is that they are very unpredictable. kevin maguire and katy balls, thank you both very much real—time. lyon let me remind you that we will be bringing the last prime minister's questions before the general election and that is at 12 a —— 12pm. there is theresa may leaving downing street a short time ago on her way to the house of commons for prime minister's questions. lyon we can bring you more on the breaking news about a fire at the christie hospital in manchester. the blaze discovered other cancer research uk patterson lab at around 1045 am. on the line is a reporter who is also a patient at the christie hospital. what can you tell us about this? at the moment, there are around seven fire engines here. it is a major incident and the black smokers still pumping out from the patterson building, which is attached to the rest of the christie hospital. the christie hospital is the cancer hospitalfor christie hospital is the cancer hospital for the christie hospital is the cancer hospitalfor the north christie hospital is the cancer hospital for the north west and part of the midlands. it treats 40,000 patients per year and many of those patients per year and many of those patients are actually in the day case you did, which is the back of the patterson building, so it's not clear yet if those day cases have been affected, people having chemotherapy and minor surgical procedures, but i've been told that the surgical list for today has been cancelled, some radiotherapy operations have been cancelled because this ongoing crisis here, and you've got seven fire engines, one of which is an aerial platform with a fire officer at the top of a ladder, about 70 feet in the air, pumping water into the seat of this fire, trying to bring it under some form of control. with it being a hospital and institute, there are also likely to be gas cylinders in the building which could be potentially explosive. so a major incident, seven incident, seven ambulances, seven fire engines, and they may well struggle to bring this under control for a good couple of hours yet. just to clarify, jonathan, no suggestion yet that hospital beds will have to be evacuated? to put it in context, there are 140 hospital beds here at there are 140 hospital beds here at the christie on the other side of the christie on the other side of the site. they will be monitoring this already, the evacuation procedure has been activated, they are making sure everyone is safe and accounted for. i've been spending the morning in the maggie's centre, which is a respite centre about 200 metres away from the christie. they came round to make sure everyone was safe and they will be doing of other patients. there will be procedures to evacuate those 140 beds that people receiving treatment for, in some cases, up to 40 days. it will bea some cases, up to 40 days. it will be a massive operation to get those people out and as i speak, the fla mes people out and as i speak, the flames are now coming out of the side of the building. it was black smoke. you can now see bright red fla mes smoke. you can now see bright red flames bursting through the top of the roof so the fire is still ongoing and will be very difficult to extinguish in the next couple of hours. a very alarming situation. thank you for bringing us up to date. the time is now 11:45am. nasa's cassini probe is set to make its first dive through the narrow gap between the planet saturn and its spectacular rings. this is the start of a five—month death plunge for the probe but it will collect unprecedented images, travelling at over 100,000 metres an hour, if you can get your head around that fact! our science correspondent jonathan amos at is cassini mission control in vienna. we been presented with a lot of mind—boggling facts, including this one that it is travelling so fast that it would take minutes to travel around the earth three times. this isa around the earth three times. this is a big planetary meeting that ta kes pla ce is a big planetary meeting that takes place every year here in vienna, so a lot of the cassini scientists are here talking about the science but also keeping an eye on their messages from nasa to see how the probe is getting on. we don't know at the moment what's happening and the reason for that is because of that velocity. it's moving at over 100,000 kilometres an hour, 70,000 miles an hour if you wa nt hour, 70,000 miles an hour if you want it in old money, and if you go that fast and you hit something, you are likely to do yourself some damage so what cassini has done is but its big radio antenna, the big dish that usually talks to earth with, in front of itself as it moves. but as it does that, trying to protect itself, it can't talk to earth so it is in radio lock—out. we can't talk to it, it can't talk to us was, so we have to wait until tomorrow, after it has gone through this gap and probably other side, to contact home and say, i am in good shape and not only that but i've got some great new pictures for you. what do scientists hope they can learn from this? what might have practical applications of this be? the mission has spent the past more than ten years outside of the ring is looking at the rings. by going inside it gets very close to the planet and so it can use its instruments to understand for the first time the interior structure of this gas giant but, also, it can weigh the rings and it wants to do that because if we know how massive they are, we can tell how old they are. the more massive they are, the older they are. the less massive, the younger they are. that is releva nt the younger they are. that is relevant because we think the rings may be as old sat on itself but we wa nt to may be as old sat on itself but we want to check that. it could just be that a comet some time ago in the last million years came too close to saturn, broke apart, and actually what you see is the fragments of a broken up, it. we should be able to a nswer broken up, it. we should be able to answer that question. fantastic. thank you very much. ina thank you very much. in a moment, a summary of the business abuse but first the headlines on bbc newsroom live. labour pledges a pay increase for nhs staff, and no tuition fees for student nurses and midwives, if it wins the general election. several people working within football are arrested as the grounds of newcastle united and west ham united are raided in a fraud investigation. surrey police are strongly criticised for returning shotguns to a man who went on to murder his partner and her daughter. i'm rachel horne. in the business news... credit suisse says it plans to raise 4 billion swiss francs — that'sjust over £3 billion — from shareholders. swiss banks are under pressure from regulators to boost capital to protect them from financial shocks. the bank raised about 6 billion francs from shareholders back in 2015 and is in the middle of cutting 5,500 jobs. fast—food chain mcdonald's is to allow its uk staff a choice of working fixed hours or having zero—hours contracts. it has been trialled in 23 outlets, where only one in five staff opted for fixed hours. meanwhile, mcdonald's announced better—than—expected profits, helped by cost cuts, big match promotions and the all—day breakfast. and it's another difficult news day for united airlines. following huge reputational damage after a passenger was forcibly removed from a flight last month, they are now investigating the death of a giant rabbit — like this one — who was flying from heathrow to chicago's o'hare airport. the 90cm—long bunny was found dead in the cargo hold. united said it was "saddened" by the rabbit's death. when it comes to the high—street lenders, we are used to hearing about profits in the billions. well, metro bank hasjust reported underlying pre—tax profit for the first quarter of £2 million — the number may be small but it's a good performance from the challenger bank, adding an extra 72,000 customers in the first quarter and a £1.1billion increase in deposits. joining me is the independent banking analyst frances coppola. thanks for coming in this morning. what do you think of the performance? they are nearing 1 million clients now. it is a solid performance. they are solvent now, which they weren't. they've had an increase in deposits and their lending is up 11%. it is a pretty good performance, really. it is looking quite promising for the future. while most of the big banks are closing high street banks, metro bank is pushing forward, wanting to open more. they have 50 and want open more. they have 50 and want open another ten this year because they say the future is on the high street, while the bigger lenders in the future is online. who is right? they are probably both right. there clearly is a demand for some kind of personal service in banking, so metro bank may be saying these are small little shops that they do, which are very friendly to customers, having a famous dog biscuits and so forth, actually there is a market for them and anisha there. we had an announcement from credits weser saying they plan to raise £3 billion from shareholders. this came as a surprise, didn't? not really because credit suisse was in trouble so it didn't come as a particular surprise to me that they were going to have to me that they were going to have to raise capital by some means or another and trying to raise from shareholders is one means of doing so and presumably they thought that was the best means. going back to metro bank, we said they are up to almost1 million customers. it is still being seen as a challenger bank, a disruptor. at what point will it become real competition for the big lenders? what will tip the balance? i think the issue here is that it balance? i think the issue here is thatitis balance? i think the issue here is that it is managing to attract deposits rather faster than it is managing to build a blending server transport it is to read dress that balance. that's the point at which it would start to become serious challenger to lenders, the point at which it is actually the go to bank for household and business loans. at the moment it is not there. thank you for your time this morning. a takeover bid for the isle of wight festival is being investigated by a watchdog. the inquiry comes after bidder live nation said it had become the majority shareholder of the event in march. the competition and markets authority is investigating whether the takeover would lead to a substantial lessening of competition. it's asked live nation and the festival to operate separately until it has agreed any merger. annual pre—tax profits at online fashion retailer boohoo have almost doubled to £31 million — up from just under £16 million last year. its sales have jumped by 51% to almost £300 million, thanks to new overseas markets. its share price has more than trebled last year to £2 billion. uber has unveiled plans to partner with plane manufacturers to develop and test a network of flying cars by 2020. the ride—sharing company said it will run trials in the us city of dallas and dubai in the united arab emirates. the markets are bobbing about, a little bit of loss, a little bit of game. they seem to think the results of the week and's french presidential election mean a macron victory is certain. analysts are saying that the market is overconfident overinflated. they are also waiting for an announcement from donald trump about planned tax reforms. he wants to slash corporation tax from 30% to 15% and cut the highest bracket of personal tax to 25% but we will wait to see if he can get it through congress. that's it from me. more throughout the afternoon. gardeners will have to adapt to new plants and new techniques, as a report suggests climate change will transform the traditional british garden. the rhs says that warmer temperatures will allow a wider variety of plants to be grown. but the study also warns of a sharp divide across the country. here's our science editor, david shukman. we usually think of mowing the lawn as one of the classic features of summer. but rising temperatures mean that grass also has to be cut in the spring and the autumn and sometimes the winter as well. a new report says climate change is forcing a shift in british gardens. the royal horticultural society, best known for staging the chelsea flower show, has studied the potential impact of global warming. it says it will affect gardeners up and down the country in very different ways. it certainly is not a one size fits all situation. the main thing that gardeners can do is understand the climate of their garden, understand when it rains, where does the water go? when it is hot, where it gets particularly dry and plant accordingly. the report says a longer growing season will be good for gardens but it also warns of risks in the decades ahead. in the south, a shortage of water. in the north, heavier downpours. the message is to get ready for change. todayis today is the last prime minister's questions before the general election. arrow system bootable editor norman smith is ready for that i'm ready to talk to us. do we expect a lively session? is going to bea expect a lively session? is going to be a right rough house because it is a curtain raiserfor the general election campaign so expected to be even more party political than usual with both sides taking clumps out of each other. in particular, i think it's almost inevitable that theresa may will go on and on about strong and stable leadership. i'm guessing, i'm going to say it seven times, she will mention it. that is the key message which her team wish to get overin message which her team wish to get over in this election campaign best that theresa may provide strong leadership, jeremy corbyn provides wea k leadership, jeremy corbyn provides weak leadership, and they will repeat ad nauseam ad nauseam. when mrs may was in wales yesterday, that was what she said again and again and she will do it today. as for jeremy corbyn, i'm assuming that he will signatory and four is what we've already heard from labour this morning about their plans in the nhs. -- morning about their plans in the nhs. —— he will seek to reinforce. the danger of the nhs if there is another conservative government. it will be a strong and stable leadership versus a save our nhs day and behind—the—scenes, both sides will be trying to gee up their own mps to give them a sense of confidence for the general election campaign ahead. do not expect any serious politics today. it is all going to be about the general election campaign. you have set as a challenge to count a made times theresa may does say "strong and sta ble theresa may does say "strong and stable leadership". seven is your guest. we will find out later. thank you very much. we will be back in the house of commons very soon but with the time now approaching 12pm, let's take a look at the weather forecast, over to the balcony with darren bett. there is milder weather on the way but today is cold. we have northerly winds and that will bring showers, especially across the eastern side of england, and we've seen showers coming in off the sea. this was cromer a little earlier on. very threatening skies. less threatening at the moment in lancashire but judging by these cows, there was a chance of rain at the least. the showers for the most part have been around coastal areas, especially in eastern england. thunderstorms recently across east anglia and will be eastern england that sees the bulk of the showers beginning to develop inland. we will see more of them in the afternoon. further west, somewhat drier. for scotland and northern ireland, more showers but cloud coming down from an old, so a change on the way. for south—west england and wales if you catch a shower, you will be quite unlucky, or lucky depending on your preference. good spells of sunshine around but rogue showers. for northern ireland, a fuel light showers are expected, especially as more cloud filters down from the north. temperatures about 9 degrees, as they will be in scotland, with cloudier skies coming across the northern half. southern scotland may well stay dry but not a sunny. showers becoming fewer across northern england but anywhere from the humber southwards, the showers are going to be turning heavier and there may be some hail and sleet. most of the showers will be of rain. as the sun goes down, the showers will fade away quickly and we'll have clear skies across the south for a good part of the night. further north, this cloud will fill in and move down into northern england and wales, bringing patchy rain and drizzle but keeping the temperature is up for southern parts of england and wales. numbers in the countryside could be done to minus one or minus two. a touch of frost tomorrow morning, some early sunshine but make the most of that because the cloud continues to make its way southwards through the day and bring some outbreaks of rain and drizzle, a few heavier showers in northern england, but some sunshine for scotland. under the cloud elsewhere, typically about 11 or 12. a lot of rain will have cleared away on friday, leaving us with a fewer showers here and there. a bit of sunshine coming through, a fair bit of cloud, mind you, and temperatures getting back to an era where they should be at this time of year. as we head into the weekend, growing, continued uncertainty. it will be turning breezy and a bit warmer but as we ran through the weekend we could see some rain coming up from the south—west, though it will be rather hit and miss. this is bbc news and these are the top stories developing at midday... labour promises a pay increase for nhs staff — and no tuition fees for student nurses and midwives — if it wins the general election. this is the scene live in the house of commons, where theresa may and jeremy corbyn are due to face each other at the final prime minister's questions before the election. we'll bring that to you live. several men working within football are arrested after the grounds of newcastle united and west ham united are raided in a fraud investigation. surrey police are strongly criticised for returning shotguns to a man who went on to murder his partner and her daughter. emergency services are tackling a blaze at a research building at the world—renowned christie cancer hospital in manchester. good afternoon. it's wednesday the 26th of april, welcome to bbc newsroom live. we are waiting for the imminent start of the final prime minister's questions before the general election. let's take a look at the scene in the house of commons. of course, today, the main topic of discussion in this election campaign is health. the labour party are pledging to give a bigger pay rise to nhs staff in england if it wins the general election. jeremy hunt, the general election. jeremy hunt, the health secretary, questioning how labour will fund this promise and other promises relating to the nhs. let's cross now to our assistant political editor, norman smith. he will be watching this course late with us. —— closely. i expect labour will get into some of the detail on health today? whereas the detail on health today? whereas the conservatives will be focusing on strong and stable leadership? the conservatives will be focusing on strong and stable leadership7m is an absolute certainty. those are theissues is an absolute certainty. those are the issues that both sides want to get to. theresa may is just about to begin. businesses are continuing to invest in since 2010 employment in the west midlands has risen by one and donated thousands. that is because conservatives in government have safeguarded the economy. as a result, my honourable friend asks about public services. with more doctors and nurses in his hospitals, you can only have strong public services when you have strong and sta ble services when you have strong and stable leadership that delivers a strong economy. mr speaker, i think what this nation needsis mr speaker, i think what this nation needs is a strong and stable government. but isn't it the case that thanks to devolution, we will not only just that thanks to devolution, we will not onlyjust have, i hope, strong and stable government after the general election, but in the west midlands, strong and stable leadership is the right choices made after may the 4th. my honourable friend makes a very powerful point because on the 4th of may, people in the west midlands have the opportunity to elect a strong local reader who will oversee £8 billion of investment. i think that in andy street, the man who has the local knowledge and business experience and commitment to the we st experience and commitment to the west midlands, he will deliver to the whole of the west midlands. and on the 8th ofjune, people in the we st on the 8th ofjune, people in the west midlands have the opportunity to elect the strong and stable leadership of the conservative government, working together. strong conservative leadership in the west midlands and strong conservative party leadership in government will deliver for the west midlands. this morning, i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others in addition to my duties in this house. i will have other such meetings today. in 2015, a group called the socialist campaign for labour victory integers late drop i plan to disband m15. —— incredulously drew up disband m15. —— incredulously drew upa plan. disband m15. —— incredulously drew up a plan. and to scrap our nuclear deterrent. would my right honourable friend allow anyone who endorses that plan to write manifesto or indeed serve in her cabinet?|j that plan to write manifesto or indeed serve in her cabinet? i can tell my honourable friend that man is at that is a resounding no. i would not. and can i commend my honourable friend, who has a proud re cord honourable friend, who has a proud record of defending our country. he raises an important point because of course the leader of the opposition has chosenjust course the leader of the opposition has chosen just such a person. the plan to disband m15, to desire our police and scrap our nuclear deterrent was endorsed by the right honourable gentleman's policy chief and even by his shadow chancellor. —— to disarm our police. again at the weekend, we saw the right honourable gentleman refusing decided he would strike against terrorism, refusing to commit to our nuclear deterrent and refusing to control our borders. keeping the country safe is the first duty of a prime minister. the right honourable gentleman a sibling not up to the job. —— is simply. thank you, mr speaker. this is the last prime minister's questions of this parliament. and i think it would be appropriate, mr speaker, if we all paid tribute to those collea g u es we all paid tribute to those colleagues who have decided to leave the house at the end of this parliament. thank them for their service, thank them for their service, thank them for their service to democracy in this country and to thank you, mr speaker, for the way that you have presided over the way that you have presided over the size and the way in which you have sought to reach out to the wider committees in this country. —— over this house. when i became leader of the opposition 18 months ago... cheering jeering. if they wait a moment, i will explain what i was going to say. i explained that they wanted people's voices to be heard in parliament. instead of just speaking voices to be heard in parliament. instead ofjust speaking to hand—picked audiences who cannot ask questions, i hope the prime minister would mind she answers some questions today from the public. —— would not mind if she answers. i start with christopher, who wrote to me this week. he says, in the last five years, my husband has had only a 1% increase in his wages. the cost of living has risen each year. we now have at least 15% less buying power than then. so where is christopher and his husband's share in the stronger economy? thank you, mr speaker. i'djoin in the stronger economy? thank you, mr speaker. i'd join the right honourable gentleman in commending those colleagues who are leaving the house for the service they have shown to constituents and parliament over the years. i also say a huge thank you to the staff of the house of commons and departments or supporters in the work that we do here in this chamber and elsewhere. i will come to the point... i know that the right honourable gentleman did not take the opportunity to stand up and show how he would actually stand up for the defence of our country. once again, he missed that opportunity. i note what the right honourable gentleman says about wages increasing. i see that today he is talking about paying for the extra wage increases in the national health service. i think we should first of all recognise, actually, that for people working in the national health service, added taff of those staff, because of progression and basic pay increases, will actually see, on average, a pay increase of 4% in their pay. what we know, and what i can say to christopher, is that he will have a choice in the next election. a choice in the next election. a choice between the strong and stable leadership of the conservatives, which will secure their economy for the future, and a labour party which would crash our economy and would mean less money for public services and ordinary working families would pay the price. mr speaker, isn't the truth that many people are being held back by this government that has slashed taxes for the rich, and held back or cut the pay of dedicated public servants? andy is concerned about whose children are being held back. he asks, why, despite the fact they have worked consistently since leaving school, all three of my children, who are now in their mid—20s, cannot afford to move out of the family home? isn't this a crisis that many people are facing all over the country? don't we need all over the country? don't we need a housing strategy that deals with it? first of all, let's look and see what happened under a leader government for housing. —— under a labour government. under the last labour government. under the last labour government, house—building fell by 45% and under the last labour government, houses purchased in england fell by 40%. the number of social rented homes under alien government fell by 420,000. —— under a labour government. under the conservatives, there has been twice as much a council housing being built than under the last government. that is the record of the conservative government, delivering on housing, delivering for ordinary working families. mr speaker, the last labour government delivered a decent homes standard for every council home in the whole of the country. it is something we are very proud of. very proud of indeed, that a treatment —— of that achievement. under her government, house—building has fallen to the lowest level since the 19205. fallen to the lowest level since the 1920s. more people are homeless and on waiting lists, more people overcrowded, more people unable to pay the rent. that is the record of the tory government. mr speaker, our children are being held back by conservative cuts. laura, a young primary school teacher, wrote to me this week to say, i am seeing a the crease each year in available cash to provide a quality education to the people in my class. —— the case. and an increase in reliance upon the pa rent and an increase in reliance upon the parent teachers association. is the prime minister still denying the fa ct prime minister still denying the fact that funding for each pupil is still being cut? what i would say to laura is we said we would protect school budgets and we have. we have seen record levels of funding going into schools in this country. but at the election on the 8th ofjune, people are going to have a very clear choice. they will have a choice between a conservative government that has delivered 1.8 million more good and outstanding school places for children across this country, a conservative government that believes in parents having choice in a range of schools, providing the education that is right for every child, and a good school place for every child. andy labour party with the right honourable gentleman who believes in a one size fits all, take it or leave it system. we believe in encouraging aspiration and helping people get on in the lives! mr speaker, labour is not slashing school budgets. labour is not putting money into pet projects. we wa nt every putting money into pet projects. we want every child, every child to have a decent chance in a decent school. we do not want an education system that relies on begging letters from the schools in order to maintain employment and books in the classroom. many people feel, mr speaker, that the system is rigged against them. maureen wrote to me this week. if i was you, i would listen to what maureen has to say. i really would. i really would, because she writes, and she writes with a heavy heart, we have been treated disgustingly. most of us women born in the 1950s will not be receiving our pension until we're 66. with no notification of this drastic change. we have worked for 45 years and accrued more than enough to be paid our pension. people want what is rightfully theirs. maureen asks, what can be done to help the waspy women? i would say about this issue that the government has taken steps to help these women. we have put some extra funding out to make sure there isa limit extra funding out to make sure there is a limit and regards the period of time affecting pensions. if you want to talk about pensions and the future, once again, there will be a clear choice in the election. a clear choice in the election. a clear choice in the election. a clear choice between the labour party who in government, sorry increase in basic state pension of 75p in one year and a conservative government whose changes to pensions mean basic state pension is —— pensioners are £1052 better off. you only get that with a strong economy. what we know about labour? only yesterday, we saw that we had finally emerge from labour's economic crash. what we now see is a labour party that would do it again. crash the economy, more debt, more ways, higher taxes, fewer jobs crash the economy, more debt, more ways, higher taxes, fewerjobs that does nothing for ordinary working families or pensioners! mr speaker, millions of waspy women will have had that answer, as will they have heard the other question not answered today. i say this, labour guarantee the triple lock and treat pensioners with respect. we will not move the goalposts to people looking forward to retirement. those who witnessed the labour founding of the retirement. those who witnessed the labourfounding of the national retirement. those who witnessed the labour founding of the national have this —— national health service, one person wrote to me this week about this. i am 88 and had a wonderful service from the national health service. nowadays, iam service from the national health service. nowadays, i am scared at the thought of going into hospital. four. —— with more people waiting more than four hours inanely, more people waiting in trolleys on corridors, more delayed discharges, bags to the tory cuts, isn't civil rights to be frightened about the future of the nhs along as this government remains in office? —— isn't cybil. the nhs is treating more patients than ever before. more people having operations, we're seeing more doctors and nurses, more midwives and gps and record levels of funding into our national health service. but it is only possible with a strong economy. that is only possible with a strong and stable government. of course, overthe coming weeks, we're going to be campaigning out there across the country, as i will be, taking our re cord country, as i will be, taking our record in the national health service out there. i notice she has directed the supporters to a website, i like corbin, but... it says, how will he pay for all this? but i have held that he wants to increase taxes. but i have heard that he is a terrorist sympathiser. but his attitudes about defence worry me. they are right to be worried. unable to defend our country, determined to raise tax on ordinary workers, no plan to manage our economy. even his own supporters know that he is not fit to run this country. mr speaker, my question was about the national health service and cybil‘s concerns. the nhs... it is all right, it is all right. the nhs has not got the money needs. the prime minister knows that. she knows that waiting times and waiting lists are up and there is a crisis in almost every a&e department. maybe she could go to a hospital and allow the staff to ask our few questions. —— ask hera the staff to ask our few questions. —— ask her a few questions. strong leadership is about standing up strong leadership is about standing upfor strong leadership is about standing up for the many, not the few. when it comes to the prime minister and the conservatives, they only look after the richest, not the rest. they are strong against the week and week against a strong. farfrom building a week against a strong. far from building a strong week against a strong. farfrom building a strong economy, schools and the nhs are being cut. people can not afford homes, millions can not make ends meet. that is not add up to a stronger economy for anyone. the election on the 8th of june economy for anyone. the election on the 8th ofjune is a choice between... between a conservative government for the few and a labour government for the few and a labour government that will stand up for all of our people! is the right order will gentleman wants to talk about the nhs, perhaps he should talk about labour's custom deanship of the nhs in wales. —— custodianship. if there is somewhere in the nhs has been cut, it is in wales by the labour party. but he is right. and something over six weeks, we will be back at the dispatch box is again. the only question is, where will you be standing? who will be prime minister of this great country? and he says the choice is clear. the choice is clear. every vote for him is a vote for a chaotic brexit. every vote for me is a vote to strengthen our hand in negotiating the best deal for britain. every vote for him is a vote to weaken our economy. every vote to weaken our economy. every vote for me is a vote for a strong economy with the benefits felt by everyone across the country. and everyone across the country. and every vote for him is a vote for a coalition of chaos. a weak leader propped up by the liberal democrats and the scottish nationalists. every vote for me is a vote for strong and sta ble vote for me is a vote for strong and stable leadership in the national interest, building a stronger and more secure future for this country. cheering order. the exchanges between -- the exchanges between the prime minister and leader of the opposition have been unprecedentedly copperhead. we wish to your question from backbenchers. the west of the scene billions of pounds of investment in transport infrastructure facts to this government. i have raised congestion and air pollution questions as well asa and air pollution questions as well as a feasibility study on roads to the east of bath. will the prime minister agree with me that the only way to secure this vital infrastructure project is for a renewed mandate for me onjune eight? he's absolutely right. i know that has been campaigning tirelessly on behalf of his constituents on this issue. i understand that highways england is dumbing up with a range of options to divert traffic away from bath. under this government, we have increased annual infrastructure investment but that is only possible is a strong economy and a strong and stable conservative leadership. a vote for any other party is a vote for wrecking our economy for a coalition of chaos. that will do nothing for my honourable friend's constituents, for whom i hope you will be able to continue to work tirelessly. —— work for tirelessly. well the prime minister gave a clear and unambiguous commitment to maintaining the triple lock on the state pension? i have been very clear that under this conservative government, we see... we have seen pensioners benefit as a result of what we have done to the basic state pension. to the tune of £1250 a year. i am clear that under the conservative government, pension incomes would continue to increase. mr speaker, i asked the prime minister pretty simple question, yes or no mac? the prime ministerfailed to simple question, yes or no mac? the prime minister failed to answer. pensioners right across this land are right to conclude that this tory prime minister plans to ditch the triple lock on the state pension. mr speaker, too many women already face pensions inequality and the tories now won't even guaranteed pensions triple lock. the only reason that they will not guarantee it is because they want to cut pensions. is it not the message do pensioners, you cannot trust this prime minister, you cannot trust the tories on your pension?” minister, you cannot trust the tories on your pension? i say to everyone , tories on your pension? i say to everyone, as i have just said, if you want another party in government that has improved the lot of pensioners across this country, it is the conservative party. under the conservative government, those pensioner incomes would continue to increase. he talks about inequality for women. it is the change in the structure of the state pension introduced by this government that is going to improve the lot of women, female pensioners, in the future. it will be much better for them. one thing that pensioners in scotland will now, as other voters in scotland will know, is that if they believe in a union, that is only one way to vote and that is devoted conservative. thank you, mr speaker. my local ccg is planning to downgrade huddersfield royal infirmary and move it to halifax. this has been dictated by a disaster this pfi deal. i have been fighting his appalling plans alongside de guimares it campaign trip hands off each allied. will the primaries to join me —— prime ministerjoin me in praising the committee campaign? does she agree that patients should not be suffering as a result of these catastrophic vf ideals, signed by the labour government? and will she ensure that communities like mine have their voices listen to properly? can i say to my honourable friend that i know that he has raised this issue with me previously. he has been a tireless campaigneron previously. he has been a tireless campaigner on this issue and a strong voice to his local constituency. he has put his case very persuasively to ministers. but he is absolutely right. it is labour's disaster this pfi deals that have cost the nhs more than £1 billion every year. and the choice at the election will be clear. do the people of his constituency one that strong voice for the a&e, with a strong government keeping the economy strong and investing in the nhs, or do they want the leader of the opposition and is coalition of chaos, less money for public services, less money for the nhs, fewer doctors and nurses and worse health care for constituents? mr speaker, my honourable friend ‘s four redcar, scu nthorpe, mr speaker, my honourable friend ‘s four redcar, scunthorpe, new court —— carter says are proving champions of the local steel community. does the premise that the ongoing presence of feminist place is vital for the future of the british steel industry? can ijust say for the future of the british steel industry? can i just say to the honourable gentleman that i know that he is standing down at the election, having said that that was due to significant and irreconcilable differences with the leadership of his party. what is important... jeering. what is important... jeering. what is important for the steel industry in this country... order. i am trying to help backbenchers be held. please help each year to help backbench members. the primaries to. —— help the chair. the government has taken action to support the steel industry. i was pleased when i was visiting wales yesterday to visit the company that works with the steel industry, galvanises products, steel industry, galvanises products, steel products. and they were talking about, actually, the greater work that they are seeing and improvement they see in the steel industry. this conservative government has taken steps to support the steel industry and will continue to do so. thank you. with the consultation on the greater manchester spatial framework now closed, i would like to thank the 3600 cheadle residents who signed my petition. it called for the green belt in cheadle to be protected and much—needed homes to be built on brownfield land instead. would my right honourable friend agree that we should press brownfield sites to be redeveloped and protections for precious green spaces can only be maintained under a strong conservative government? my honourable friend is absolutely right on this and i know that she has been a strong campaigner and champion for her constituents in cheadle. i can assure her that we are very clear that the green belt must be protected. what we are set out to do in the white paper is the boundaries should only be altered when local authorities have phil examined all other reasonable options, such as making use of brownfield sites, as she herself as suggested. i know that there was a great deal of interest in the consultation on greater manchester spatial framework and recommend my honourable friend for the work that she did to gather the views of her constituents in cheadle. —— and i commend. in the last six months, it has been announced that 2000 jobs will be lost in newark. yesterday, nestle announced 300 job losses, 156 in my constituency. devastating for workers, families and the community. jobs, not products being exported to the year and, as ever, skilled jobs replaced by low—wage, insecure work. in light of the special deal at nissan, will the primaries to meet with me, trade unions and the company to strike a special deal to save these jobs, about the losses now and in the future? i think the lady is right to raise this issue that has arisen yesterday of the announcement from nestle. it should be clear that nestle have been clear that this is not a decision that was affected by leaving the eu. they have said they have made it irrespective of that but of course it is a worrying time for the workers and their families in both your and newcastle, and i can assure her we are already in contact with the company to understand their plans and neck steps. speak with senior nestle representatives later today. dwp of course stands ready to put in place their rapid response service to support any workers made redundant by helping them back into employment as quickly as possible, and there are various ways in which job centre plus can help. it is important to ensure the support is marmite. as i said, the business secretary will speak to nestle representatives later today. record employment, the national living wage, strong national living wage, strong national defence is keeping our promises in europe — these are some of the achievements we can be proud of. does my right honourable friend agree that it is only about four strong and stable conservative leadership in the national interest on the 8th ofjune that will continue to deliver on the economy, defence and a deal with europe that will enable businesses to continue to thrive by re—electing a conservative mp for the second time? well, i, i, will say to my honourable friend, can i thank him for his question. he has, since that fantastic, historical election of him in gower, he has been a really powerful voice for his constituents, but also in deed for the needs of wales more generally. i already referred to the fact that i was in wales yesterday and had the opportunity to speak to people in business and meet voters and to hear of their concerns, but my honourable friend goes absolutely to the heart of the matter when he says what is necessary is a good brexit deal. it is crucial for businesses, forjobs, and it is only achievable by a strong and stable government. every vote for me and the conservatives, and conservative candidates and local levels, will strengthen our hand in those negotiations. yesterday, the scottish tories' defence of the rate close failed. can the prime minister confirm that no organisation in scotland has signed up to fill in the 8—page why my child is a victim of rape form? is the prime minister seriously going into this election with this unworkable and immoral policy? well, this is an incredibly sensitive issue, and that is why we have looked at it very cavalier. we consulted very carefully on it —— very carefully. we have put in place a series of measures when such cases arise. it is important to look at what lies behind this, because underpinning this policy is a principle of fairness, and we know the snp want to scrap the policy in its entirety. we believe that people who are in work have to make the same decisions as those people who are out of work, so that people who are out of work, so that people who are on benefits should have to decide whether they can afford more children, the same way that people in work have to decide. york is a fantastic place to work, live and start a business, but transport infrastructure is key for the city to fulfil its economic potential. a ring road, a new railway station, upgrading roads will all help secure yorker‘s future, so will the prime minister continue to improve infrastructure and deliver for regions like yorkshire? he raises an important point. we have been able to invest £1. 6 important point. we have been able to invest £1.6 million this year for transport improvers, £2.2 million for highways improvements, and £3 million for the york initiative, but you can only invest if you have the strong and stable leadership that secures a strong economy, and that is what the choice injune is going to be. a strong economy, guaranteeing investment across the country, in york and other parts, or bankruptcies and chaos under labour. as the prime minister knows, betting terminals cause immense harming communities. on taking office, she authorised a review of maximum sta kes authorised a review of maximum stakes and all that information was collected by the end of last year. why do we still not have a result, and will she today show some leadership and reduce the maximum sta ke leadership and reduce the maximum stake on these appalling machines to £2?i stake on these appalling machines to £2? i recognise this is an issue that has been raised by a number of members of this house. the answer, we did indeed have that consultation and there will be a government response. of course, that response. . . response. of course, that response... well... get on with it, we're told. we are now in a situation where these things will be published after the purdah period and after the general election, so the honourable gentleman, the right honourable gentleman, we'll have to wait for that response, but we recognise the concern and we will respond in due course. should the prime ministerfind herself in respond in due course. should the prime minister find herself in the vicinity of milton keynes over the next few weeks, may i suggest a visit to milton keynes hospital where she will find rising clinical standards and investment going into a new ward, a new medical school and a new ward, a new medical school and a new ward, a new medical school and a new cancer treatment centre. can i thank my honourable friend. i think i will be visiting parts of communities around the whole country over the next few weeks, but i want to congratulate the staff at milton keynes university hospital for achieving that rating. as my honourable friend said, it was backed up by considerable investment. between 2015 and 2020, of £500 million is being spent on the nhs in england and it is only possible because we have safeguarded the economy over the last seven yea rs. the economy over the last seven years. it will only be possible in the future if we secure the strong and stable leadership our country needs. as i said, in wales, labour had been cutting the health budget. cani had been cutting the health budget. can i invite the prime minister to visit me in southampton instead of going to milton keynes? she could tour the southampton schools. if she does, she will find that those schools are in despair about the cut in pupilfunding of10% schools are in despair about the cut in pupilfunding of 10% in southampton, £475 per pupil, equivalent to a loss of almost 400 teaching jobs across the city. she would find also one school that is inviting parents to clean the school to i lets. inviting parents to clean the school toilets. order! the prime minister... it is perfectly possible imightfind minister... it is perfectly possible i might find myself in southampton over the coming weeks. as i have said, as! over the coming weeks. as i have said, as i have said before in this house, there has been a general agreement that the current funding formula is not fair, and labour did nothing in 13 years of government to address it. it is important we get it right and we will be responding to the consultation in due course. what is good news for schools in the honourable gentleman's constituency is, we now see 7000 more pupils in god are outstanding schools, and overall funding would rise under our reforms. after he steps down after 44 years service in the house, i call sir alan hazlehurst. can my right honourable friend as you me that her second government will have high regard for matters of great concern to the saffron walden constituency? namely improved railways, in line with reports, the spread of fast broadband to rural communities, and an airspace regime that prioritises noise reduction? cani that prioritises noise reduction? can i first of all pay tribute to my right honourable friend for his service, not just his right honourable friend for his service, notjust his constituents over yea rs , service, notjust his constituents over years, but for his service to this house when he took the chair as deputy speaker of this house. he has been a stall what and a champion of the people of saffron walden over the people of saffron walden over the years, for 40 years, as this speaker has said. he is right to raise issues of infrastructure spending. in the budget, we included £40 million for the east of england, but of course, as i think my right honourable friend implied in his question, it is only possible to do that with the strong economy that comes with a strong and stable government, and for saffron walden, that will mean seeing a conservative government elected on the 8th of june. my constituent, mr buchanan, who suffered several serious strokes and requires extensive care was deemed to have missed an appointment when aptos arrived early, and his ca re rs when aptos arrived early, and his carers had not turned up yet. his benefits were stopped. why is the welfare regime punishing vulnerable people like my constituent? we want to ensure that we have a system in place that does properly assess people who are applying for benefits. as he has referred to, and as other members will know, there have been some issues around the way in which that system is operated, which is why the dwp has looked carefully at it to ensure it does make proper assessment and delivers the right results for people. does my right honourable friend realise i am standing down after 34 years because of her was back because i have confidence that the country will be safe after the election under her strong and stable leadership. does she realise that seizing the opportunity from regaining control over our laws, our money, our borders and our trade would be more important than the terms of any exit deal? and does she recognise that to get a reasonable deal we must accept that no deal is indeed better than a bad deal, and to deny this signals that no price is too high, no concession to grovelling to accept, a recipe for the worst possible deal? so, i wish my right honourable friend and all honourable members in this tack—mac house i love godspeed. -- in this house i love. i thank him for the tremendous contribution he has made through his years as a member of this house, not only for his constituents, but also for the time he spent in government as a valued minister ina he spent in government as a valued minister in a conservative government. he has rightly highlighted the importance of the decision that was taken last year by the people of the united kingdom. he played a role in that referendum campaign, and it is right that we get on with thatjob of delivering brexit, making a success of it. that does mean a strong hand in negotiations, and the only way to ensure that is the case, the only way to ensure that people of hitchin and harpenden and the whole of the uk, is to ensure a conservative government is elected on the 8th of june. thank you, mr speaker. we do need a strong prime minister to lead this nation, but we also need the countries of this nation to have a strong voice too. does the prime minister agree with me that those who abstain from taking their seats in this house, those who are denying the people of northern ireland the government, the formation of a government, the formation of a government, are denying their constituents a say in the future of this country, and we will not allow that to happen? the honourable gentleman and is absolutely right, of course. it is important that the constituents who we elect members of parliament feel that those members are able to do theirjob, able to bring their concerns here to this house and play a full part in this chamber. he is also right that we wa nt to chamber. he is also right that we want to ensure that every part of the uk has a strong voice, which is why it is important that we continue to work for the restoration of the devolved administration in northern ireland. thank you, mr speaker. the prime minister has shown considerable leadership in adopting the definition of anti—semitism. does she believe it is the duty of all party leaders in this house not just pay lip service but to do something about it? and does she share... does she share my disgust that a former member of this house, criticised by the home affairs select committee for his anti—semitic utterances, is now the official candidate in bradford east for the lib brawl democrats —— the liberal democrats? can i... can i first of all pay tribute to my right honourable friend, my chum, for all the service he has given, and not just for his service in this house. he had a considerable record in local government before he came into this house, and he is also in his time and the work he has done on anti—semitism performed a very important role. he has had a relentless drive to stamp out anti—semitism, and indeed intolerance in all its forms in our communities, and he should be proud of the record he has and the work i know he will continue to do as a champion on this issue. he is right to highlight bradford, of course. he has a particular knowledge of that city, and people will be, i think, rightly disappointed to see the liberal democrats readopt a candidate with a questionable record on anti—semitism. it is important that all parties maintain the strongest possible sense your on all forms of intolerance and send that message to our communities. thank you, mr speaker. is he standing down, too? in the nine months the prime minister has held her office, she has closed the door on desperate child refugees. she has ignored the plight of those suffering under crisis in health and social care and she's responsible for the shameful rape clause. 20 yea rs for the shameful rape clause. 20 years ago she berated the conservative party for being the nasty party but her party has never been nastier. for the legacy of this parliament... the speaker: order, order. whatever the strength of feeling, the right honourable gentleman must be heard. and the legacy of this parliament is the utter abject failure of her majesty's official opposition to effectively hold her government to account for any of it. is it not time that britain had a strong, decent, new opposition? well, first of all let me pick up thep point he made on child refugees. this government has a proud record on supporting refugees in syria. we have been the second biggest by lateral donor to the region, in order to support millions of refugees to educate children, as i saw when i visited jordan recently and of course we've also supported some of the most vulnerable refugees, including children in bringing them here to make a new life in the united kingdom. he talks about a decent opposition. i find life in the united kingdom. he talks about a decent opposition. ifind it difficult to hear those words coming from his mouth when we've heard his party has selected a candidate with questionable views on anti—semitism. mr speaker, it has been an immensed privilege to serve my constituents for the past 34 years. i arrived in 1983 when one formidable and determined female conservative prime minister was transforming the country's economic fortunes and i depart as another is determined to restore to this country the status ofa restore to this country the status of a sovereign mention state, embracing the rest of the world and asi embracing the rest of the world and as i too bid my right honourable friend the prime minister god speed for a victory on 8thjune, may aldershot just make one for a victory on 8thjune, may aldershotjust make one final plea in these troubled times, please will she ensure that her majesty's armed forces are properly funded, manned, equipped and housed to defend and protect the people of this glorious sceptred isle, the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland. hear hear. well, once again can i pay tribute to the work that my honourable friend has done in this house, representing as he has done, over the 34 years, two different constituencies. but, of course one of the underlying themes of his time in this house has been his passionate championing of the armed forces and his consideration for our armed forces. and i can assure him that on 8th june armed forces. and i can assure him that on 8thjune people will have a very clear choice between the right honourable gentleman who refuses to defend our country, and a conservative government that will continue to support our armed forces. the speaker: graham morris. cani forces. the speaker: graham morris. can i ask the prime minister why is she running scared of the televised leadership debates? may i suggest that she holds such a televiced where she can see the consequences of her policies and explain to the people if it is possible that she has any mandate to seek their support and re—election?” has any mandate to seek their support and re-election? i have been in televised debates with the right honourable gentleman the leader of the opposition week in and week out since i have been prime minister and i will be talking across all parts of this country a fine record for a conservative government. he talks about housing, twice the amount of council houses, than built under labour. record funding into the national health service and schools and pensioners on the basic state pension £1250 aier better off. that's a proud record of the conservatives and a record that we will continue after 8th june. the speaker: mike wood. mrnchts speaker, it is good to be back, and to be honest, it is good to be anywhere. —— mr speaker doctors and nurses of my local hospital saved my life injanuary but each year 44,000 people are less lucky. will my honourable friend look at the measures we can take, to reduce deaths from sepis, including awareness—raising, including a national registry to properly record the burden of sepis and effective commissioning levers to incentivise best practice. the uk sepis trust estimates that measures like these will save 50,000 lives over the next parliament. can i say to my honourable friend, that it is fantastic to see him back in his place. i hope he will have noted the welcome he got from across the house for being back in his place but he is absolutely right, to bring a focus on this issue of this devastating condition of sepis and every death from it, of course is a tragedy but as we know, something like 10,000 deaths per year could be avoided through prevention, early diagnosis and treatment. we do need to get better at spotting sepis across the nhs. the department of health is beginning work on a new sepis action plan. we are having a new public awhich areness campaign and we expect a nice quality standard to be published later this year and with the passion that my honourable friend now brings to this campaign, i'm sure he will continue to make his voice heard on this important issue. the speaker: george howarth? yesterday, mr speaker, my right honourable friend for leigh, who will be much missed in this house, had a debate on contaminated blood on which he called for an independent hillsborough—style panel to get at the truth. the prime minister has praised the independent panel approach as a way of opening up panel approach as a way of opening up the door to justice. so, panel approach as a way of opening up the door tojustice. so, will she join with labour and the snp in committing to setting up such a process in her party's manifesto? hear hear. well last july we committed £125 million of extra funding for those affected by the contaminated blood tragedy of the 70s and 8 #0s, more than any previous government. we published reforms last year and we are now consulting on a new measure to allow people affected to benefit from higher annual payments but i can assure everybody that everyone will receive at a minimum what they receive at a minimum what they receive now as a result of the proposed changes and the department of health will respond to the consultation in due course. the speaker: dame angela watkin son? thank you, mr speaker, it was a privilege to win back the seat of upminster in 2001 for the conservatives. would my right honourable friend tell the house why the good people of hornchurch and upminster should continue to vote conservative at the coming election? well, can i first of all pay tribe bute to my honourable friend for the contribution that she has made, not " pay contribution that she has made, not —— pay tribute to my honourable friend for the contribution she has made, notjust here but in the whip's office in this house and i'm happy to tell the voters of hornchurch and upminster that every vote for me and the local conservative candidate will strengthen our hand in the brexit negotiation to get the best deal for this country and every vote for me and the local conservative candidate will be a vote for a stronger economy and every vote for me and the local conservative candidate will be a vote for a strong and sta ble will be a vote for a strong and stable leadership in the national leadership, compared to the coalition of chaos we will see under the labour party. the speaker: mr douglas carswell. the labour party. the speaker: mr douglas ca rswell. whamplgts assurances account prime minister give to the 3.8 million people that voted ukip at the last election that if she is prime minister afterjune 8th, the united kingdom will become a sovereign country again, living underourown a sovereign country again, living under our own parliament, making our own laws? i will give an assurance to all those people who voted for the united kingdom to leave the european union and for all people across the country, regardless of how they voted, who now want to see this government getting on with the job of brexit and making a success of it, that we want to see control of it, that we want to see control of our borders, control of our laws, control of our money and that's what we will deliver. the speaker: in wishing the right honourable gentleman all the best for the future, i i call sir simon burns. dump shouts mr speaker, may i thank you for that. may i tell my right honourable friend the prime minister that for 30 years i've had the privilege and honour to represent the great people of chelmsford. may i also tell her that the great people of chelmsford are persvicacious. and theyp want a government that provides strong economy, strong leadership and strong defences and may i tell my honourable friend it is the conservative party under her strong leadership that will deliver for this country for the next five yea rs. this country for the next five years. well, can i thank my honourable friend for the significant contribution that he has made his constituents in chelmsford and in this house and in government over this period of time. and can i say to him that he is absolutely right, his constituents will be looking for strong defences, for a strong aww the final prime minister's questions before the general election, longer than average because of that, and we will have analysis and reaction to prime minister's questions on the bbc news channel. and a moment, the bbc news at one with sophie raworth. first, the weather with matt taylor. a dry and sunny day the sun but for others the shower clouds are still around. the clouds continued through the night and so far this morning, they continued to push on, getting a bit heavier and starting to develop toured parts of the south and east. away from, showers much fewer in number. scotland, northern ireland, parts of england not feeling as cold as they did yesterday and a better day by a large. showers get heavier across eastern england as we start the evening rush hour, rumbles of thunder once again, some hail mixed in and a bit of sleet. showers affecting parts of the east midlands but come further west, very few showers around through the afternoon. many will be dry. if you get caught by a shower, it won't be too long until the sunshine returns. tempered as the low side for the time of year. with winds a slightly lighter in the north of england, not feeling as cold as it did yesterday. into the evening across northern ireland and scotland, the hebrides and orkney cloud with rain, which will edge southwards. showers in east anglia and the south—east fade awake. clear skies and plunging temperatures. cloud and occasional rain in northern ireland edges towards england, slightly less cold air heading ourway towards england, slightly less cold air heading our way and the chill is still on. away from city centres, temperatures could be minus one or minus two, the odd spot down to minus two, the odd spot down to minus four 05. egg cold, frosty start across the south. cloudy, damp start across the south. cloudy, damp start for some in northern england but slowly starting to brighten up. a few showers and increasing of sunshine breaking through the cloud. temperature still feeling a bit chilly. into friday, we slowly start to lose the northerly airflow. a few showers around but many will be dry, after a bit of a frosty start. temperatures slowly on the up, back into double figures quite widely across the south by this stage, and the trend continues. it is a bank holiday weekend. saturday looking the best day of the bunch at the moment because by sunday and monday, low pressure starts to come into play. it will bring windier but milder weather into the bank holiday weekend but some rain at times, too. it just weekend but some rain at times, too. itjust depends weekend but some rain at times, too. it just depends whether weekend but some rain at times, too. itjust depends whether you see that rain by day or by night and we will keep you updated on that. clashes as the prime minister and the labour leader face each other for the last time in the commons before the election. theresa may accused jeremy corbyn of not being up to the job of prime minister. but he hit back saying the tories only represented the rich. mr speaker, the election on the 8th ofjune is a choice... jeering. yeah. between a conservative government for the few, and a labour government that will stand up for all of our people. the choice is clear. every vote for him is a vote for a chaotic brexit. every vote for me is a vote to strengthen our hand in negotiating the best deal for britain. labour is focusing on the nhs in the election campaign today, pledging to give a bigger pay rise to nhs staff.
