Chelsea play out a 2 all draw with valencia in the champions league, they will need to wait for the final round of games to get a chance to qualify for the knockout stages. Good evening. The labour party says its obtained documents that show the nhs has formed part of talks with the United States about a trade agreement after brexit. Jeremy corbyn says the papers are proof that the conservatives would put the nhs at risk. The Prime Minister has dismissed labours claims as absolute nonsense. Heres our Political Editor, Laura Kuenssberg, her report contains flashing images. A quiet entrance was the last thing he wanted. After a tough 2a hours, the labour leader hoped as dramatically as he could to change the subject. A51 pages. Brandishing what he claimed was new hard evidence that the tories secretly wanted to sell off the Health Service. Now we know the truth, whenjohnson says, get brexit done, it is a fraud on the british people. This is the reality. Years of bgged down negotiations, and our nhs is up for sale. Years of bogged down negotiations, and our nhs is up for sale. The documents were then handed out by nhs staff, including labour members wearing their scrubs. The papers do show thereve been talks between the uk and the us about a future trade deal. They do show the us wants easier access to uk markets in all sorts of areas, including medicine, but they do not prove there has been agreement between the white house and the tories about privatising the nhs. In these piles and piles of documents, do you have evidence that uk ministers agreed that the Health Service should be part of trade talks . If you want to know whether ministers were involved in these talks or not, then they sanctioned the talks, they are obviously fully aware of the talks, and they are the ones that were declining to make the documents published and public. The government has said again and again the nhs would never be part of any trade deal, and the talks cover theresa mays time in office, not borisjohnson. But labour is determined to make this an issue, and tetchy about the other issue that has confronted them. It was just an opportune moment to get digging about something else. WhetherJeremy Corbyn ought to say sorry to thejewish community about anti semitism, having refused to do so last night. Our party did make it clear when i was elected leader, and after that, that anti semitism was unacceptable in any form in our party or our society, and did, indeed, offer its sympathies and apologies to those that had suffered. A different tone, though, from his closest ally, john mcdonnell. I am really sorry, the way we handled it initially, because we have learnt lessons from that, and we have also invited people to say, if that still more lessons to be learned, come see us, and help us. Jeremy corbyn tried today to grab hold of this race for westminster, and, in a sense, that has been much of the essence of this campaign so far. Labour broadly behind, trying always to navigate to safer territory for them. The conservatives broadly ahead, but with their own problems, and nervous on the ground. We are under a lot of pressure. He is fighting an election after nine years of a squeeze on public services. Although the tories have promised more nurses, in cornwall. Do you have a nurses tree, too . They wanted to know if there was a nurse tree, as well as a magic money one. The nhs is in no way on the table, in the last but whatever, and this, as they say, is continually brought up by the labour party as diversionary tactic. The tories suspended one of the candidates after allegations of anti muslim language. So. Do you apologise for the islamophobia that has taken place in your party . Look, of course, and for all the hurt and offence that has been caused, of course we do. But even the subjects of an election are a Battle Ground as the votes begin to be cast. Laura kuenssberg there. Our Political Correspondent Jonathan Blake is in falmouth, whereJeremy Corbyn has been at a rally this evening. We at a rally this evening. Will come onto that in a mo jonathan, we will come onto that in a moment, jonathan, but first of all, and the subject that labour tried to steer on to you today, the nhs, is there a sense that that is getting cut through and pushing labourforward from last nights rather difficult interview . Well, he certainly attempted to seize the agenda with its, and among labour supporters, attempted to seize the agenda with its, and among laboursupporters, i think it will do very well, in terms of chiming withJeremy Corbyns key message, that under borisjohnson government, as he sees it, the nhs will be up for sale, and there will be access for big us house companies, we have yet to see, of course, whether he can keep the debate on that, and whether labour will be successful in winning support from a perhaps floating voters, and others who werent yet throwing there, or werent yet indicating that they had been supporting the party. But there was definitely an attempt i think to shift the agenda from the focus, as you heard there in lauras report, Jeremy Corbyn has had in the last couple of days about his handling of the anti semitism crisis in the labour party, as some would see, and also that admission that some low earners would pay more tax under a labour government. But certainly that message from Jeremy Corbyn here tonight at this rally, lively rally in pharmacy, with a few hundred supporters here tonight, has been very much on the nhs, and he said that the plans flushed out in that document, which he showed to the crowd here again tonight, those 400 oi crowd here again tonight, those 400 or 0 crowd here again tonight, those 400 or so pages, also detailing the minutes of those meetings between uk and us officials. He talked about that as a passport for big pharma to the nhs. I think about labour party have also talked about Climate Change ahead of that first leaders debate, is it supposed to be on Climate Change tomorrow . Yes, Jeremy Corbyn is making a big deal of labour commitment to tackling the Climate Emergency as he has described it, and putting forward policies to do that. It was really at the heart of labours manifesto, Jeremy Corbyn has been telling the supporters here this evening in falmouth in the uk, he is to find new solutions to tackle the Climate Emergency. So that is a focus for Jeremy Corbyn, as well as the nhs here tonight, and he will be hoping that message hits home in this part of the world, which is interesting territory for labour, not particularly strong for them in the past. Every seat in cornwall is held bya past. Every seat in cornwall is held by a conservative mp or it was in 2017 election and the 2015 election before that. This one, particularly, falmouth is one that labour has their sights set on, one of the more sympathetic arts of the county to remain, in terms of the brexit debate, so labour hoping to pick up votes here. Hes also been picking up votes here. Hes also been picking up on the debate around the waspy women. Those women born in the 19505, women. Those women born in the 1950s, who lost out from pension payments after their shift into pension aids, saying that the media has become utterly obsessed with that amount of money and how it would be paid for. And hed prefer to keep the debate on why the money was needed in the first place. 0k, Jonathan Blake, thank you very much indeed. Well, Nicola Sturgeon has launched the Scottish National partys manifesto in glasgow with a pledge to escape brexit and put scotlands future in scotlands hands. She says a second independence referendum next year will be a condition of her partys support if theres a Hung Parliament after the election. Among the key pledges in the manifesto are the eventual removal of the Nuclear Deterrent trident, powers over drug policy to be handed to the Scottish Parliament and control over Employment Law to be handed over too. Our scotland editor sarah smith has more. Nicola sturgeon is not a candidate in this election, but her party could significantly influence the outcome. If she ends up able to make demands, she has plenty stop brexit, a vote on independence, and much, much more. Vote snp to escape brexit. Vote snp to lock borisjohnsons tories out of office. Vote snp to take power into your own hands. Snp mps will never support a tory government, so to have any real influence, they need to do some kind of deal with labour. But labour say they would not allow an independence referendum within the first two years of government. The snp want a vote next year. You want to be allowed to have a second referendum on scottish independence, youve said in the past that that should be in 2020 is that an absolute red line . Yes. He has to agree to that referendum being in 2020 . Ive made that pretty clear, and if i can explain why thats so important, obviously the timescale is important, to give scotland the chance to escape the mess that we will be in if we allow westminster to decide our future and be taken out of europe, possibly on a no deal basis. But theres also a really important issue of principle at stake here. Is it possible to see a deal whereJeremy Corbyn concedes the principle that scotland can decide to have when their referendum and then you decide not to do it in 2020 . Well, thats not what im going to do, because i think it is really important for practical reasons that scotland has the ability to escape brexit and the westminster mess. If you did have an independence referendum in 2020, do you think youd win it . Yes. But you thought youd win in 2014. Look, of course, thats a guess, a gotcha question, i did think wed win, we didnt win, but im confident that we would win an independence referendum. But im not complacent about that. You say in any deal with Jeremy Corbyn, you want to scrap trident. What does that mean, does it mean removing it from scotland, getting rid of it completely within the first term of a labour government, orjust promising not to renew it . Well, firstly, the first step on that is not to renew trident at the cost of £200 billion that the estimate has been put out, but ultimately, yes, it is about removing it. Now, i want that to be as quickly as possible. On the question of timescale, and i want to be very frank and candid about this, i want that to be as quickly as possible. We are talking about Nuclear Weapons here, weapons of mass destruction, and safety is absolutely paramount, and that would obviously be a key consideration. The snp manifesto is full of ideas on public spending to Climate Change but. For all the pledges that are in here about increased nhs spending or ending austerity, the snp know it doesnt matter how many votes they get in scotland, it doesnt matter how many seats they win in scotland they cant do any of this unless they hold the balance of power in westminster. Sarah smith, bbc news, glasgow. Lord heseltine has again urged people to vote liberal democrat, despite, in his words, being a proud conservative. But speaking at a Lib Dem Campaign event, the former conservative deputy Prime Minister did criticise as naive the partys flagship policy of revoking article 50 or cancelling brexit. Our chief Political Correspondent, vicki young, has more. No prizes for guessing what the liberal democrats want this election to be about. They are banking everything on an anti brexit message. It started as a promise to cancel brexit without some of the vote if they won the election a position described as extreme, even by some lib dem candidates. Today, former conservative deputy Prime Minister lord heseltine urged people to vote liberal democrat. We are talking, in the election, notjust about our prosperity and living standards, we are talking about the sort of people we want to be. Even this ardent pro european is critical if their policy to revoke article 50. I think that was naive, because there was no way they were going to do it. The lib dem leader is feeling the heat after a poll suggesting a drop in support, and jo swinsons no longer talking about becoming Prime Minister. Obviously, many people look at the polls now and they are worried about a Boris Johnson majority, and that is why the liberal democrats ability to win seats from the conservatives is so important. In former lib dem strongholds like cornwall, the idea of stopping brexit without the referendum is getting a mixed reception. Im happy if it was cancelled outright, but i think, really, there should be another referendum. You would have to be very hardcore, i think, to vote that way. Because its not giving anybody a choice. Im a remainer, but i think people voted to leave, so we have got to get on with it. In the past, i have either swung lib dem or the conservatives, but knowing that they are going to cancel brexit, no way would i vote for them now. Lib dem strategists stated that their cancel brexit policy was an obvious next step given the partys strong remain position, and they insist it is going down well in the areas in lib dems think they can win, london and other towns and cities that voted heavily to remain. As one senior lib dem said to me, there could be 65 of people who hate what the party is saying, but they were never trying to attract them in the first place. Lib dems are still predicting some spectacular individual victories, even in places where they are thousands of votes behind, but veterans of previous elections are expecting modest progress, not a seismic breakthrough.

You can listen to commentary on bbc radio 5live. Its the Europa League tomorrow night. Manchester united have ten players yet to make a senior appearance in their squad to face astana. For 19 year old max taylor, its set to be an extra special evening. This time last year, hed just been diagnosed with testicular cancer. Hes had a full recovery, and after only returning to playing at the end of october, is now set for his debut. Hes been telling the bbc about his experience. You are by yourself, you cannot sleep and all youre thinking is, thinking is, this is serious. This could end my life. Hi, my name is max taylor and im a professional footballer for manchester united. I had been checking and ifelt a lump so i went to the doctor and said, obviously i have a lump. He ran a scan and said yes, it is normal, a cyst, quite common in teenagers. He gave me a week of antibiotics. Had those. A week later it returned bigger. I got told it was a 30mm cancer cell. My mum broke down straightaway. I was sort of like, so taken aback that i did not cry. I got out and it was like, oh my god. My mind was running 100 miles an hour at what could happen, what is next . Will i play football again . Will i be alive . Once i got out of the chemo and it was all successful i thought right, i will get back there. Then when i came back, mourinho had gone and ole had come in. They invited me to go out and watch first team training. At that time i could not do anything. I came out, i was stood there, just talking with ole. It was a great way to come back, it was uplifting. It taught me to appreciate the things you love and i do not know what i would do if i wasnt playing football. England captainjoe root has the backing of the whole squad according to all rounder ben stokes. It comes after the batsman was criticised, having madejust 13 runs in the first test defeat to new zealand with his captaincy also coming under fire. Root himself insists leading the side doesnt affect his batting even if the number suggest otherwise and his vice captain has tipped him to return to top form. He has the backing of everyone in the changing room. That is the most important thing, to him as a captain and to us as players in general. The only thing that matters is the changing room vibe. Everything else outside of that is just noise. Hes england captain. He is the best player in england. He knows that. He has the full support of us in
