"challenges" for customers to earn bonus points could be pushing people to spend more than they can afford. that's the warning from consumer groups. i'll be taking a look. in sport it's the start of a new adventure for emma hayes. we hear how she's settling in to her new manager role in the united states as she prepares to lead them into the olympics this summer. to lead them into the quite to lead them into the a cloudy start this morning. some quite a cloudy start this morning. some outbreaks of rain out there, but things should brighten up. a bit of sunshine developing in the afternoon. all of the details shortly. it's thursday 30th may. our main story. the conservatives and labour have both ruled out increasing vat if they are elected in five weeks�* time. the promises have raised questions about how the parties will fund their spending plans, and deliver on their commitments if they win the elction. our political correspondent damian grammaticas has this report. midnight last night. and exactly one minute later, all business here ended. parliament dissolved. those who were mps must now clear their offices. to return, they must stand as candidates again. we stand with diane! but when it comes to the long serving diane abbott, doubts swirl. last night, supporters gathered in her london constituency. she believes labour will not endorse her. the national party is insisting that i be banned. they haven't communicated with me personally. they haven't given a reason for banning me. they just want me excluded from parliament. sir keir starmer has said that's not true, but the party must finalise its list of mps next week. i will be the candidate for hackney north and stoke newington! cheering. the leaders of both main parties, meanwhile, are turning to the economy and taxes, trading blows and promises. in an article for today's telegraph, the chancellorjeremy hunt claims keir starmer and rachel reeves have a plan to increase vat. and they don't want you to know about it until after polling day. and he makes this commitment. not only will a future conservative government not increase any rate of income tax or national insurance, but we also won't increase the main rate of vat for the duration of the next parliament. last night, labour responded immediately. the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves, issued a rebuttal saying... and had a riposte of her own. both parties respond to such criticisms saying they will only make changes they can afford. but while they trade blows, both are accused of ignoring the biggest issue by far — the massive pressures on public spending any future government will face. damian grammaticus, bbc news, westminster. let's talk to our chief political correspondent henry zeffman. we are going to be talking about economic policy today but i think the labour party is very aware of the labour party is very aware of the row and the discomfort around diane abbott's position and what is being said. it diane abbott's position and what is bein: said. . , diane abbott's position and what is bein: said. .,, . . , being said. it was a really confusing _ being said. it was a really confusing day _ being said.

talking about their policies on the nhs, i'm not sure that's what a lot of people took from the day. there is a hard deadline here for labour to finalise not just deadline here for labour to finalise notjust diane abbott's position but all of these questions about who their candidates will be in the general election because their slate of candidates will be finalised in a meeting of labour's national executive on tuesday, then there is a hard national deadline later next week. but speaking to people in the labour party yesterday about their response to the day, there was a real mix of reactions. some people who think that sir keir starmer and his team are absolutely right to be ruthless and the direction of travel which still appears to be that diane abbott will not be a labour candidate at the general election is the correct one because it demonstrates clearly what sir keir starmer said the whole time, that he has changed the labour party profoundly from the one that he took over from jeremy corbyn in 2020. others including strong supporters of keir summa �*s a bit more uneasy, talking about not looking cruel and vindictive of people who are sceptical about the labour can —— direction, including people like faiza shaheen, who was until yesterday a candidate, one person said it should be harderfor keir starmer to control the ranks because of this ruthlessness if he wins the election. for keir starmer, getting into government is the point, any challengers can be dealt with after that. . ~ , ., challengers can be dealt with after that. . ~' , ., ,

uk's toxic rivers and seas. the party has also promised practical solutions to the cost—of—living crisis, housing, and the nhs, as part of its election pledge to offer "real hope and real change." scotland's first minister, john swinney, says a generation of young people in scotland have been "robbed of opportunity" by westminster governments. the snp leader says the general election will give them a chance to "demand a better future than the main parties are willing to offer. the liberal democrats say they would triple the tax on big digital companies raising an extra £1.5 billion to pay for a mental health professional in every school in england. their leader, sir ed davey, said thousands of children were being "left in limbo" by long waits for nhs treatment. the conservatives said mental health teams for schools are already being introduced. charlie, we had some news overnight, some rather distressing news we are getting more details now about. four people including a child are

he's facing 3a counts of falsifying business records, to cover up a hush money payment to a porn star, before the 2016 presidential election. he denies all the charges. john sundworth reports. with the jury sent out, for the trump fans and for their rivals, it's now a waiting game with passions sometimes running high. all in all, though, it's a thin crowd given what's at stake inside. donald trump's fate is now in the hands of 12 ordinary new yorkers, while once again he was railing against the trial itself. they don't know what the crime is, that's what the problem is. it's a disgrace, this thing ought to be ended immediately. the judge ought to end it and save his reputation. thank you very much. we do, in fact, know what the alleged crime is. pages of financial documents the prosecution says show the falsification of business records to disguise hush money payments to the porn star stormy daniels just ahead of the 2016 election, so her claim they'd had sex would be kept from the american public. back then, mr trump was facing other allegations of sexual misconduct. i have no idea who these women are, have no idea. donald trump, though, has argued the whole case depends on his former lawyer, michael cohen. he went to jail in 2018, fell out with his former boss and is, the defence told the jury, so unreliable they have no choice but to acquit. for trump's supporters, as well as his opponents, of course, many minds are already made up, but this verdict still really matters, in particularfor those crucial few undecideds in the middle. might an acquittal persuade some of them that mr trump is somehow the victim here? and might a guilty verdict dissuade them from voting for a convicted felon for president? it's a waiting game for him too. the jury could take hours, days or even weeks to reach its decision. john sudworth, bbc news, new york. another volcanic eruption began yesterday in south—west iceland, shooting lava up to 50 metres in to the

wilshere has spoken for the first time about the shock of finding out his six—year—old daughter siena was born with a heart defect. 13 babies are diagnosed with congenital heart disease every day in the uk and jack is now working with the british heart foundation to raise awareness of the condition. he's been sharing his family's story with our reporterjayne mccubbin. jack wilshere, former arsenal and england footballer, current arsenal under 185 head coach. but you're talking to us today for what reason? because i'm the the father of a heart warrior, my little girl, siena. oh, my god, you're the best. tell them, tell them what a warrior you are. this is jack wiltshire's heart warrior. look how small you were, you are tiny. she was born six years ago, butjust after herfirst birthday, they noticed recurring health problems. she was getting the chest infections, the tonsillitis. she was on antibiotics quite a lot. so we were in and out of the doctor's room constantly. we were told it was exercise induced asthma. oh, you win! because i noticed, especially at kid's birthday parties or she's on the trampoline, the more she was doing exerise, she kept having coughing fits. when siena was five, a gp thought he heard a heart murmur. drou took her daughter to see a cardiologist, and the news she was given shocked them all. i was preparing to travel with the team, with my team for a game like we normally do. and my phone rang. and ijust rang jack and ijust burst. i remember falling to the floor, just crying because ijust couldn't believe the news. it was shocking. did you think you might lose her? yeah, 100%. siena had a hole in the heart. ahead of them lay five hours of open heart surgery. going into icu, seeing your daughter there, like sleeping with all these wires. ijust remember hearing her crying and i think ijust burst into tears because i knew she was all right, i knew she was going to be ok and it was just a recovery. i'm really sorry. no, you're brilliant. don't apologise, because look out that window and there she is. yeah, exactly. around 13 babies a day are born with a congenital heart defect in the uk. 60 years ago, the majority wouldn't survive to their first birthday. but today, thanks to research, more than eight out of ten will survive into adulthood. siena is happy and healthy and part of a family who all celebrate the little girl they call their heart warrior. yeah, we're really proud of what she's been through in herjourney. as i said, i was a footballer and i went through a lot of surgeries and i know how hard it is to recover. and these are nothing compared to what she went through as a five—year—old, and just to bounce back the way she did, yeah, a lot of courage, i'm so proud of her. today, the family want to use their experience to help others and give hope by becoming official ambassadors for the british heart foundation. it's like a breath of fresh air, and she'sjumping around and she's full of energy. there's so many warriors out there. and hopefully we can give parents support, we can get more research into it and really try and make a difference to the parents' lives, but also the children's. you're proud to be ambassadors? very proud. that report was from jayne mccubbin. good trampoline, all good to see! you just wish for the simplest things, when your child is ill, you just want the simplest things for them. let's take a look at today's papers. the metro leads with the health secretary victoria atkins accusing junior doctors of pulling a "cynical" election stunt

as extra rewards if they spend more. ben has been taking a look at these for us. is it good value are you being tempted into buying stuff that you don't really need because you see this great offer underneath it? that is the concern, _ this great offer underneath it? that is the concern, isn't _ this great offer underneath it? that is the concern, isn't it? multi—buy offers, discounts, the promise of bonus rewards — it can all mean we put a little bit more in our trollies than we planned to. good morning, we're taking a look at the loyalty schemes you can sign up for in supermarkets. of course, they can be really great ways of saving money. most major supermarkets have a loyalty scheme. they usually give you points based on how much you spend, discounts on certain products, or even some freebies. some offers are the same for every shopper and some are personalised based on what you buy. these four supermarkets — asda, morrisons, sainsbury�*s, and tesco — have started offering shoppers rewards if they complete so called "challenges", things like spending a certain amount of money on one type of product, buying specific items, or shopping a certain number of times to get bonus rewards. tesco is currently offering bonus rewards for shoppers with a clubcard, giving out stamps every time you spend more than £70 in one shop. if you get four stamps, they'll give you bonus points that you can exchange for a voucher. asda's scheme offers two ways to earn points. buying certain products or being rewarded for buying several of the same item or similar products. for example, one offer gave 50p worth of vouchers if you bought three cleaning products. if you're planning to buy the products anyway, those bon
