Its all in the packaging the everyday items that recyclers say are impossible to deal with. And coming up in the sport on bbc news tonights swedish top division fixture between gothenburg and aik has been postponed, after an alleged match fixing attempt. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. The Prime Minister, theresa may, has launched the conservative Party Manifesto this lunchtime, with a raft of policy pledges claiming to get to grips with the great challenges of our time. It includes major changes to social care in england. For the first time, the value of someones property would be included in the means test for care at home. Mrs may pledged changes to our State Pensions. She said therell be a new double lock system when the current triple lock expires in 2020. Theres also a promise for an increase in nhs funding, by a minimum of £8 billion in real terms over the next five years. On brexit, mrs may warned that if a government failed in the negotiations, the consequences would be dire. There were also new measures to curb immigration. Our first report is from our political correspondent, eleanor garnier. It is the General Election she decided to call. Please welcome the Prime Minister, theresa may. This is her pitch to persuade you that she is the person to sort out the countrys problems. Because it is the responsibility of leadership to be upfront and straight with people about the challenges ahead. About the difficult decisions and trade offs that need to be made. And the hard work required to overcome the obstacles work required to overcome the O Bsta Cles In Work required to overcome the obstacles in our way. And that is what this manifesto does. Theresa may claims that the conservatives had always been the centre ground, but was this an attempt to redefine what it means to be conservative . With the right brexit deal secured, my Mainstream Government will deliver for mainstream britain. My Mainstream Government will deliverfor mainstream britain. All those who work hard and make this country what it is. People who have a job do not always havejob security. People who own their home but worry about paying the mortgage. People who can just about manage but worry about the cost of living and getting their children into a good school. She said she would look to balance the budget by the middle of the next decade, pledging billions more for the nhs, she promised to protect the countrys public services. The government i read will Build A Britain In which the economy is strong to support world class public services, with the most Ambitious Programme of investment in technology and building the nhs has ever seen. Record and fair funding for schools. Real Technical Education for young people. And the first ever profit plans to pay for and provide social care. Theresa may has also promised if the conservatives are elected, the Winter Fuel Allowance worth up to £300 would be means tested, and the pensions triple lock would be reduced to a double lock, with a State Pension rising in line with earnings and prices, the minimum 2. 596 earnings and prices, the minimum 2. 5 increase would no longer be guaranteed. Schools in england would be protected from any losses from a new funding formula, but we school meals for all infants would be scrapped for everybody but the poorest, replaced this free brea kfasts poorest, replaced this free breakfasts across primary. And theresa may says she will recommit to curb net migration to the Tens Of Thousands. It is right that we want to bring that migration to sustainable levels, we say those are in the Tens Of Thousands, because of the impact on controlled migration has on people, especially at the lower end of the income scale, because it can hold down peoples wages. It can mean a displacement of job and it puts pressure on public services. Theresa may hopes this ma nifesto services. Theresa may hopes this manifesto shows she is able to take what she calls big and difficult decision and perhaps it shows an indication she thinks this is her chance for maximum power, and a chance for maximum power, and a chance to take over swathes of the country, including parts of labours bread heartlands, to turn them a new tory blue. It was theresa mays decision to call this General Election, which has made the conservative campaign about her. This manifesto a personal test for the Prime Minister. One of the main targets in the manifesto to tackle the rising cost of social care in england. It promises that no one will have to sell their property in their lifetime to Fund Residential or home care. Instead, the cost of care will be taken from their estate when they die. As long as thats worth at least £100,000. But one former Government Adviser says many people would have no protection from care costs. Sarah campbell reports. The population is ageing. How to pay for the increasing numbers of people will need often expensive care in their final years will need often expensive care in theirfinal years as a will need often expensive care in their final years as a problem successive governments have failed to adequately tackle. Today, the conservatives said social care will require taking difficult decisions. This morning, on the norfolk coast, reaction to their plans was mixed. This morning, on the norfolk coast, reaction to their plans was mixedlj think that is fair enough, honestly. I think you can expect the government to keep on paying you cannot. I think you have to pay. My father is in care and the amount of money it costs us to keep him on top of what we have to pay out and what he has to pay out is disgusting. Of what we have to pay out and what he has to pay out is disgustinglj think it is wrong. He has to pay out is disgusting. think it is wrong. You have worked all your life. And suddenly those who saved, they are not wasting their money, they are expected to use it for social care. Under the plans, everybody will get to keep £100,000 of assets, an increase of just over £23,000. But for the first time, the value of a persons home is taken into account to pay for their care. That only happens now if it involves president ial care. And a persons property will not have to be sold until after they have died. We say that everyone will have the confidence of knowing that they can £100,000 to their children and grandchildren but there are trade offs in order to make that commitment. And we will be treating people who have care at home in the same way as people cared for in care homes. There will be the amount of money people will be expected to pay for their care. So some will have bills potentially running into hundreds of thousands. The certainty is that you have assets in total including the value of your house of more than £100,000, you are on your own you have to pay for yourself until you get to that level. For most people, the prospect is that if they need social care, they will have to place and the government is not providing a scheme to allow them to pull that risk to ensure that. What is certain is that with more People Living longer, social care and he has britain is an issue likely to affect most of those deciding how to vote next month. Social care and who pays for it. With me is our social affairs correspondent, alison holt. How radical would they be . The conservatives would say they are radical and they would get to grips with one of the biggest issues of oui with one of the biggest issues of our time. Those in the social care sector, but i am hearing from them is there is concern, surprise and many feel it is a missed opportunity. Because this is a huge issue with a great deal of increasing demand and growing pressure on the system. Raising the threshold, the level of savings and assets can help, that is broadly welcomed. And there is the singular tale, which is the inclusion of the value of someones house when you assess them for home care, which is quite a big change for people. And the impact that has depends on where you live because there is huge regional variation in the cost of somebodys home. So we expect that will mean that under that change, many more people will end up having to pay care. But the fundamental issues, the fundamental question which remains to be answered, is this a big enough change to deal with the ongoing pressures and help people plan for their future care needs . Thank you very much. Our assistant Political Editor, norman smith, is in halifax. The tories launched the manifesto here. What caught your eye from these measures . What strikes me is this manifesto marks really a clear break the David Cameron years and a very different, distinctive theresa may agenda, not lost notjust because theresa may has dumped loads of David Camerons pledges, on the tax law and the Winter Fuel Allowa nce tax law and the Winter Fuel Allowance and Free School Meals and introducing a care costs, but because of a tilt away from mr camerons focus more on aspirational middle classes to a focus on ordinary families, people who mrs may said tellingly, they do not buy into grand visions. And so no longer will pensioners be shielded, no longer will they be guaranteed pensions going up by at least 2. 5 , no longer will business be given free rein to bring in migrant labour, they will be taxed more to do so and there is no prospect of the middle class is being shielded from potentially very large care costs. On the nhs, yes, there is more money, as in the David Cameron yes, but with it is tough action against gps and consultants who will have their contracts renegotiated. We had Jeremy Corbyns manifesto which signalled a marked change in labour politics, theresa mays also marks a clear change in traditional tory policies. Thank you. And we will take a closer look at the numbers behind the Conservative Ma Nifesto the numbers behind the conservative manifesto later in the programme. Its not been an easy week for President Trump already and, last night, things got considerably tougher. In an announcement that surprised the white house, the Usjustice Department appointed a Special Prosecutor to investigate claims of russian interference in last years president ial election. Former fbi chief Robert Mueller will also look into allegations of collusion between Donald Trumps campaign and moscow. Mr trump says any investigation will show there was nothing going on between his team and moscow. Richard galpin has the details. These are the darkest days so far for donald trump whose brief, chaotic tenure at the white house is being engulfed by allegations of inappropriate links with russia. If you would please rise . So much so that a former fbi director Robert Mueller has been called in to read the growing investigation into the allegations. Is seen as an independent outsider and has been welcomed by both democrats and republicans. It is a very positive development and evidence the administration is taking this seriously, good news. administration is taking this seriously, good news. I dont believe it was necessary. Having said that, if there has to be a special counsel, they made an excellent choice. At the root of all this is the alleged collusion between Trumps Campaign team and russian officials during and after last yea rs russian officials during and after last years us election. In february, Trumps National security adviser Michael Flynn had to resign because he lied about his contacts with russia. The next day, it has emerged the president allegedly asked the fbi Directorjames Comey to drop the investigation, allegedly saying, i hope you can see your way to letting this go. But in march, mr mcomey went public for the first time about the broader fbi investigation and on may the 9th, he was sacked, with trump saying it was his decision and that this russia think with charm, as he put it, was a factor. Full legal experts, the consequences is almost unprecedented in its importance. It is hard to think of a more consequential investigation when we are talking about the presidency. And we are talking about potential foreign influence into our elections. We are talking about whether or not president s trump potentially has committed obstruction of justice. President s trump potentially has committed obstruction ofjustice. Mr trump he strongly denies the allegations issued a statement overnight saying, a thorough investigation will confirm what we already know, there was no collusion between my campaign and any foreign entity. It will be many months before mr trump knows his fake. But already, globalfinancial before mr trump knows his fake. But already, Global Financial markets have been falling in response to the crisis, putting yet more pressure on the president. Lets go live now to washington and our correspondent, jane obrien. I was going to ask you how the president would react but he has already taken to twitter. He is angry, very angry indeed. Hes describing this as a witchhunt. The biggest witchhunt against a politician in american history. It was very quiet for 2h hours, but that silence has been broken. Lawmakers, they are broadly happy, democrats and republicans, because this lays to rest a lot of uncertainty about the way this investigation was being handled. Robert mueller has been described as a man of impeccable integrity, a character well able to withstand pressure from the trump administration, donald trump himself or the justice administration, donald trump himself or theJustice Department. But the Justice Department is still in charge because although Robert Mueller enjoys sweeping powers, you can investigate what he likes and bring charges inappropriate, but the Justice Department can still and his enquiry at any time. But people here have said his character is his own guaranteed. Nobody is going to try to mess with him and that in itself is going to restore credibility to an investigation that has been consuming congress and throwing the white house into turmoil. Now, how many times have you stood over the Recycling Bin wondering if the package in your hand should go in there or in the regular bin . Well the recycling association has come up with the names of the most difficult products to recycle and top of the list are two of our most popular brands pringles and lucozade. Pringles say their packaging protects the crisps and saves waste, whilst lucozade say the firm does care for the environment. Our environment analyst Roger Harrabin reports. Were running short of holes in the ground to swallow our rubbish. Yet Landfill Sites are peppered with products that are supposed to be recyclable. Why is that . The trouble is that so many products nowadays have several different types of materials in their packaging. That can make them almost impossible to recycle. Take this. Pringles. Recyclers enemy number one. You have the plastic lid. The foil top. The foil interior, the cardboard sleeve, the metal bottom. Its a nightmare. And take these bottles. There are different plastics in the base of the bottle and the top. Or this meat. Black plastic is virtually useless for recycling. So whats going to stop us dumping complex packages straight into the bin . Well, Prince Charles is launching a 2 million prize to stimulate new, more environmentally friendly designs in packaging. There are already some good examples. The milk bottle, an Industry Collaboration so that the packaging is all made from one type of material very recyclable. A can of coke. Billions of these ring pulls used to separate from the packaging and go into the environment. The former tv presenter rolf harris will be released on bail from stafford prison tomorrow.
