yes, sadly, this is a statement that has come in from buckingham palace within the past hour on this incident, as they put it, yesterday evening at the home of princess anne, the princess royal. it reads: the princess royal has sustained minor injuries and concussion following an incident on the gatcombe park estate yesterday evening. her royal highness remains in southmead hospital in bristol as a precautionary measure for observation and is expected to make a full and swift recovery. the king, of course, her elder brother, has been kept closely informed and joins the whole royal family and sending his fondest love and well wishes to the princess for a speedy recovery. we understand the princess was walking on the perimeter of her gatcombe park estate yesterday evening when she came into some kind of contact with some horses on the estate. it is understood that that contact, perhaps from a horses head or legs, caused minor head injuries and concussion. she had her husband with her, commander tim laurence, and she was taken to southmead hospital in bristol, where she is currently under observation and being treated. i think the likelihood is that she will remain in hospitalfor the coming days. thank you. later in the programme, we'll get the latest from our correspondent at southmead hospital in bristol. the conservatives and labour have been accused of largely ignoring the uk's future economic challenges, by the institute for fiscal studies. the independent thinktank has analysed their election manifestos and warns that the next government will either have to raise taxes or cut public services. our chief economics correspondent dharshini david is here. darshini, this seemed to be a critical analysis, not enough transparency in those big promises? not so much transparency or a lack thereof, but our lack of realism seems to be the scathing upshot of what the iss has to say about all of this. remember, we've been through hundreds of pages of manifestos over the last couple of weeks, but this really looks like it is talking about a different country because this analysis focuses on what we are not being told. the iss says the two main parties in england are ducking the tough challenges facing the country put up in recent years, after the pandemic, because of high interest rates and other factors as well, it says to meet the fiscal rules, we will have to either see taxes rising by more than we are currently told awesome cuts to services, things like higher education and the courts may be in the firing line. that conspiracy of silence they are being accused of, the two major parties, because the giveaways are smaller than in the past. the director of the iss, paul johnson, says that even though the two main parties are ruling out rises to some tax rates, there may be other things that have to give. we are either going to see some big tax increases or some spending cuts, given where we are with the public finances at the moment, and honestly, we don't know which way either party would go post—election. neither of them want to say we are going to cut this, neither of them want to say we are going to increase taxes here, but if they are going to keep to their own self—imposed fiscal discipline, they are likely to have to do one or the other. the other also coming in for some criticism, with reform and the greens being told their plans may be wholly unattainable. all the parties are wishing for growth to pick up because that is where you can get extra money in. the ifs says that is not a get out ofjail card, however, and we may not be able to spend as spend as much as anyone would wish. thank you. the prime minister has said he is "not aware of any other candidate" being looked at over alleged bets placed on the timing of a general election. at least four conservatives are being looked into by the gambling commission, including two standing in the general election. they deny the allegations. the former minister tobias ellwood has told the bbc rishi sunak should suspend the candidates involved. our political correspondent harry farley reports. ten days from polling day and rishi sunak, speaking today in scotland, has a major headache over its surprise date and allegations that bets were placed by those in the know. conservative candidates laura saunders and craig williams are being looked into, as well as two other tory officials and the police officer. ms saunders said she would co—operate with the gambling commission. mrwilliams co—operate with the gambling commission. mr williams apologised and said he had made an error of judgment. this morning, rishi sunak has been speaking to reporters in edinburgh, and asked if he could rule out whether others close to him had placed bets on the election timing, he said he is not aware of any other candidates the gambling commission is investigating, though he did add that the commission does not reveal the names of those it is looking at. not reveal the names of those it is looking at— not reveal the names of those it is lookin: at. ., ., , looking at. important to remember that the gambling _ looking at. important to remember that the gambling commission - that the gambling commission investigations are independent, i don't have the details of those. they don't report to me. but i can tell you that we have in parallel conducted our own internal inquiries and we will of course act on any relevant findings or information. today our former minister has said there is no doubt the existing revelations will cost the conservatives seats. this betting sa . a conservatives seats. this betting saua has conservatives seats. this betting saga has been — conservatives seats. this betting saga has been deeply _ conservatives seats. this betting saga has been deeply unhelpful, | saga has been deeply unhelpful, self—inflicted distraction. triggered by a few individuals. in what _ triggered by a few individuals. in what world they thought this was acceptable is beyond belief. should the prime minister _ acceptable is beyond belief. should the prime minister have _ acceptable is beyond belief. should the prime minister have suspended the prime minister have suspended the two conservative candidates?

things are starting to ramp up here. the general election in northern ireland will look slightly different because you won't see those battles between labour and the conservatives. labour doesn't stand candidates here. while there is a northern ireland conservative party, they tend to take a tiny percentage of the votes. the battles will be between the local political parties. we heard from gavin robinson. this constituency in east belfast looks like an interesting battle between him, the incumbent mp, and trying to unseat him will be naomi long, the leader of the alliance party. in terms of issues being considered by voters here in northern ireland, the cost of living is a massive one, as it is across the rest of the uk. the constitutional issue also, whether northern ireland remains as part of the uk or leads to form a united ireland, and how people feel about that, does affect how they vote. lots in the mix here in northern ireland and just ten days to wait to see how it all pans out. thank you. the main parties have now announced their campaign promises ahead of the general election. it's a lot of information to take in, but there's a guide on the bbc news website, which gives a summary of where parties stand on the issues most important to voters. the trial has begun of a man accused of plotting the kidnap, rape and murder of the tv presenter holly willoughby. gavin plumb allegedly conspired online with a man in the united states to create a �*detailed plan' to carry out the offences. mr plumb denies the charges. our correspondent helena wilkinson is outside the court in chelmsford. helena, this trial has just opened, what's been said in court so far? the prosecutor, alison morgan casey, as you rightly say, has begun opening the prosecution case to the jury. gavin plumb is sat in the dock, listening to that as it goes on. thejury has been told dock, listening to that as it goes on. the jury has been told that mr plum had an obsession with the television presenter holly willoughby, and that he also, as you mentioned there, allegedly assembled a kit of tools to help him kidnap, rape and murder holly willoughby. thejury have also rape and murder holly willoughby. the jury have also been told that mr plumb is alleged to have plotted sexually motivated violence against ms willoughby. the prosecutor told jurors it was notjust the ramblings of a fantasist, the defendant had carefully planned what he would do, and he had real intention to kidnap the broadcasterfrom her home. jurors have heard that mr plumb was arrested after having online conversations where he revealed this alleged plot to an undercover officer in america. mr plumb denies the charges against him and the opening will continue here at chelmsford crown court. helena, thank you. flights from the uk's third—busiest airport, manchester, have resumed after a power outage led to a series of cancellations. up to 90,000 passengers were affected yesterday morning, when security systems and baggage screening struggled to get back online. 0ur correspondent lauren moss is at the airport. lauren, how's it looking today? like you said, this affected more than 100 flights yesterday, and up to 90,000 passengers. today, things are running much smoother. i was inside terminal onejust are running much smoother. i was inside terminal one just before, and flights are coming and going, landing and leaving all the time. there are one or two cancellations and some of the flights leaving are delayed, but on the whole, manchester airport says things are running as planned. some of the people i spoke to are a little anxious about their flight leaving, and the advice is to check before you set off, like you usually would. things should be running 0k. the priority is getting those passengers who didn't fly yesterday on those who didn't fly yesterday on those who are still out of place today to where they need to be reunited with their baggage. as for compensation, that isn't a straightforward answer, i'm afraid, because what happened yesterday is likely classed as an extraordinary circumstance. the power failure is on the airport's property, not a fault of the airline, so passengers are advised to check travel insurance policies and with their operator as well if they booked a package holiday. thank you. lauren moss at manchester airport. the time is 1:1lipm. top story: the princess royal is in hospital after sustaining a minor injury is in hospital after sustaining a minor injury on her gloucestershire estate. and as temperatures climb this week, vulnerable people are being urged to take care as a health alert is issued in england. coming up on bbc news: with wimbledon just a week away, there's still no decision on whether two—time champion andy murray will be fit enough to play after an operation on his back over the weekend. it was a heartbreaking night for scotland in germany, as they were beaten by hungary in their final euro 2024 group stage game. an extra—time goal broke the deadlock, and the travelling supporters are now beginning theirjourney home. jane dougall reports. scotland are out. not again. for a while, they didn't leave as it sunk in. scotland were going home, and the tartan army with them. the players fell short, losing to, arguably, the easiest country in their group. it's been a great experience, like, for us anyway. it's our first time in our lifetimes we've been able to go we tried our best. we were doing well for a long — we tried our best. we were doing well for a long time. _ we tried our best. we were doing well for a long time. they - we tried our best. we were doing well for a long time. they were l we tried our best. we were doing l well for a long time. they were the better team. well for a long time. they were the better team-— well for a long time. they were the better team. stevie clarke never put the bows out — better team. stevie clarke never put the bows out there _ better team. stevie clarke never put the bows out there enough. - better team. stevie clarke never put the bows out there enough. they - the bows out there enough. they never _ the bows out there enough. they never had — the bows out there enough. they never had it in their head they could — never had it in their head they could win _ never had it in their head they could win. he said in interviews, i believe _ could win. he said in interviews, i believe the — could win. he said in interviews, i believe the boys can win. today, the boys didnt— believe the boys can win. today, the boys didn't believe they could win. the fans have been scotland's strength. tens of thousands sang along with the squad and their leader. time to swallow the nerves. losing to hungary wasn't an option. they wanted to witness history. but they almost watched scotland concede an early goal — angus gunn getting a hand to it. then an incident in the second half led to a worrying delay while medical staff worked on hungary's barnabas varga. he was stretchered off to applause and is now stable. just moments later, there were cries for a scotland penalty... and it'll come to armstrong! penalty, surely! ..when stuart armstrong was brought down. why not, said half the crowd? but their appeals went unheard. hungary broke again and scored with the last kick of the match. scotland's dreams ended and their tournament over. blood, sweat and tears for what could have been. but for the manager, anger at decisions not given. and scotland are out of the european championship! it was 100% a penalty. somebody has to explain to me why that's not a penalty, because otherwise i'm thinking there's something wrong. as the stands emptied, the fans left their hopes of ever getting to the knockout stages of a major tournament behind them. the squad just couldn't deliver when it mattered. and once again, scotland are going home early. jane dougall, bbc news, stuttgart. in a moment we'll speak to nesta mcgregor in cologne, but first to chris mcclaughlin in stuttgart. and chris — it's another disappointing tournament for scotland fans? yes, certainly disappointing in terms of the football, you cannot argue with that. two defeats and a draw, scotland played well at times last night but like the other two games, they lacked the cutting—edge. yes, they could have had a penalty perhaps, but were not clinical enoughin perhaps, but were not clinical enough in front of goal. the players apologised to the fans after the game, but for the fans, this is neverjust been about the game, but for the fans, this is never just been about the football, they have parted and sung, they have danced and made friends with the locals and their heading home in their thousands with memories that will last a lifetime.— will last a lifetime. chris, thank ou. england are preparing for their next crucial game, against slovenia, tomorrow night. after being criticised for a lacklustre performance in their last match, captain harry kane says it's a time not to panic but to try and improve. 0ur correspondent nesta mcgregor is in cologne. nesta, how are preparations going for tomorrow's match? england fans have started to arrive in cologne, they have come via plane, train, even by boat, but as you mentioned, their team's passage so far, not smooth sailing. a top group c but criticism of the performances and you have fans, media and pundits questioning the team selection and the tactics as well. some good news for england finally, this morning all 26 players trained, that includes luke shaw, who slipped to feature in the tournament, he arrived in germany with an injury. the mission tomorrow is simple, if england beat slovenia the top the group. england can qualify tonight if albania fail to beat spain. but should england finish
