BBCNEWS The Briefing July 13, 2024

Pledges . If you doorJeremy Corbyn was opening the spending taps on the 27 uk general election, he went seen nothing yet. The size of the pledges i think, i think it was bbc Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg calling at 2017 manifesto with rock boosters. We are looking at the Financial Times and when you look at the break down, eft has done a really good takedown of who is going to pay for this. Strangely enough, its business taxes. Coming from labour to pay for spending plans. Its hard to see if any of the uk newspapers, that welcomes any of this. From Jeremy Corbyns want to view, he is not after the boat. He is after the votes of people who do feel squeezed. Something theresa may spoke about. He is throwing money at it. It is also talking about taxing the rich more, a wave of nationalisation is, royal mail, the national grid, and that will be popular with a lot of voters. There we re popular with a lot of voters. There were a lot of people out there saves the businesses were taxed and time the businesses were taxed and time the wealthy were taxed more. This is the wealthy were taxed more. This is the fascinating thing about this election. 0ne the fascinating thing about this election. One of the leading pollsters here in the ukjust yesterday, for a lot of people, or Jeremy Corbyn is talking about, does your train Jeremy Corbyn is talking about, does yourtrain run on Jeremy Corbyn is talking about, does your train run on time, am i Jeremy Corbyn is talking about, does yourtrain run on time, am i being ripped off by energy companies, is really, really attractive. Then he sta rts really, really attractive. Then he starts to talk about brexit and people dont understand what labours policy is. Its not explainable in a couple of sentences. And thats really where labour in this election are divided, thatis labour in this election are divided, that is where labour is falling down. Some people have concerns good morning. About how they are going to be paid welcome to breakfast for but they are really unsure what with Naga Munchetty in norwich and Charlie Stayt in salford. Labour has to say about brexit. 0ur headlines today a 27 year old man has been found guilty of murdering the british backpacker Grace Millane lets look at frankfurter allgemeine. Interesting a german by strangling her. Paper would be talking about labours manifesto. Its in other news, the conservatives want a hike on the stamp duty fascinating. A lot of people are foreigners looking at the uk general election, pay in england, while plaid cymru just as we look at german elections. Will launch their manifesto calling for a £20 billion green jobs revolution. Good morning. I spend a lot of time with german were getting to the heart of the issues that matter to people here in norwich during the election, policymakers. Part of angela including the health of the nhs. Merkels party, the christian democrats. The story this morning is saying, can labour when with these kind of policies. The interesting thing, when you unpack the numbers, whatJeremy Corbyn is proposing in terms of public spending as a share of gdp is quite similar to german levels of spending. About 44, a0 5 levels of spending. About aa, a0 5 of gdp. Its a massive hike of whether uk is. In german commentary, these effectively not going to get elected. That is their view as Prime Minister with these spending levels in the uk. That is what happens in germany. Lets look at Benjamin Netanyahu on germany. Lets look at Benjamin Neta nyahu on the germany. Lets look at Benjamin Netanyahu on the coverage in haaretz, charged with bribery, for fraud in the breach of trust. There was thinking that while he was in office, he couldnt be charged with any of those things but theres been any of those things but theres been a massive shift and it could be the end of his political career. There are massive stories erupting everywhere. In the middle of yesterday afternoon, we got sight of the attorney general deciding to charge the israeli Prime Minister with bribery, fraud, breach of trust according to this headline, all allegations of the moment. Three substantial charges, one around a telecoms company. And another around gifts for him and his family, this is going to ensnare israeli politics, just as we are watching Benjamin Netanyahus big friend being rather ensnared by the impeachment hearings. If you are an ordinary israeli voter, you would be looking at this and you would be thinking, my goodness, is this government going to be able to do anything right now. Avoiding at the general election, is this the end for Benjamin Netanyahu . Its not looking good. Having these allegations hanging over him is going to completely restrict his ability to carry on as Prime Minister. Maybe this is the end. The following twitters lead, is not a com plete following twitters lead, is not a complete ban for google. As we were talking earlier in the programme, the on line ads can still target you by age, gender and the on line ads can still target you by age, genderand by the on line ads can still target you by age, gender and by location. The on line ads can still target you by age, genderand by location. In the end, what Political Parties need anymore, knowing how old you are, and what your gender is. For many countries in any case, this happens in advance of the uk general election but targeting people by political affiliation is already illegal. Its only in the United States where people put their hand up states where people put their hand up as either a democrat or republican. 0ther up as either a democrat or republican. Other countries have different systems. It could hit googles revenues quite significantly. Whether it has any impact ona significantly. Whether it has any impact on a general election, we will wait and see. Does this increase the pressure on facebook . We had Mark Zuckerberg saying that political spending, people need to have the right to free speech. The revenue is important but also the ability to save. Now the google and twitter are drawing a line stop i am a lobbyist, there will be a big old lobby on this issue. In advance of the us residential. That is the big prize. In terms of spending, its us president ial elections, 0lympics prize. In terms of spending, its us president ial elections, olympics and world cup the driver huge amount of an spending. There is going to be a lot of lobbying going on capitol hill. In advance of november next year. Mark zuckerberg says, where do you draw the line, Climate Change or womens empowerment . Its a fair point but the argument back to that is, surely thats a question for regulators rather than by the company s to decide. Should facebook be the regulator in this case. Its a very key question. Key question, is this babyjesus statue bearing a strong exam was to bill collins. Certainly a big star in my youth. Lead singer of genesis. I saw him in concert as a kid. Do you think this babyjesus statue looks like him . I think its fair to say that its a babyjesus and the ba byfa ce that its a babyjesus and the babyface looking that its a babyjesus and the ba byface looking bill collins, juxtaposed in this mornings guardian together. Its quite hilarious. And its enormous. Its absolutely gigantic. 6. 7 metres tall. Baby absolutely gigantic. 6. 7 metres tall. Ba by jesus. Absolutely gigantic. 6. 7 metres tall. Babyjesus. Potentiallya absolutely gigantic. 6. 7 metres tall. Babyjesus. Potentially a new world record for a babyjesus statue. It makes a smile. Absolutely. Thank you very much for being with us. Stay with us on bbc news, much more to come. Well, the weekend is just around the corner and the weather, well, you know, is looking a little mixed. Theres bound to be some rain in the forecast. Of course, there is. It wont be raining all the time. A bit of brightness thrown in there as well but on the whole, you know, its autumn, its what wed expect to see this time of the year. And there is indeed a lot of cloud on the satellite picture. 0ne weather system here, another one sitting on top of us is actually an area of low pressure thats over the uk right now, shrouding our skies. Low grey skies with drizzle, mist and mirk. Drizzle particularly across south of the country and central areas. Towards the early hours of friday, probably showers, so bursts of slightly heavier rain, affecting the south coast, maybe wales too. Here, a little bit milder, butjust a tad. I mean, its hardly a difference really. 6, 7, 8 degrees maybe in the south. A little bit colder and clearer in western and central scotland, maybe around 3 degrees, 2 or 3. So heres the forecast for friday, so weve got some showers there in the south of the country, in the south west, some spots of rain also for central and southern scotland, as well as northern ireland. But the real rain arrives in wales and the south west of england, maybe the midlands, later in the afternoon on friday, so this is going to be the soggy bit. So that was friday, this is saturday now, and a blob of rain, cloud and rain, sitting on top of the uk. I think most of us will get at least a few spots of rain. The driest weather across the north of scotland and actually later on saturday it might dry out in london, the south east, possibly east anglia as well. 00 11 23,329 4294966103 13 29,430 so thats saturday
