Drifting 13 miles in the irish sea. And coming up in the sport on bbc news, madrid is in for a spectacle tonight as real host Neighbours Atleti in the the first leg of their all Spanish Champions League semifinal. Good evening and welcome to the Bbc News At Six. Following the leaked account of a tense meeting between the Prime Minister and the head of the European Commission last week, theresa may has told the bbc she will be a Bloody Difficult Woman in Brexit Negotiations and shes already made clear Jean Claude Juncker will discover that. She told our political editor, laura kuenssberg, that the negotiations with the eu will be tough and what matters in the coming election is making the right choice of leader to represent the uks interests. Who wouldnt like a day by the cornish coast . Who could be coming to town . We believe its that nice theresa may. Is that correct or not correct . Strong and stable theresa. Im not very keen. In fact, im very unkeen. I hope she comes sooner rather than later. Ive got a bus to catch the number ten suits, police by the Fishing Boats gave the game away. Thank you, nice to see you, morning, morning. A serene scene compared to brutal briefings from brussels. Thank you, nice to see you. During the conservative Party Leadership campaign, i was described by one of my colleagues as a Bloody Difficult Woman. And i said at the time the next person to find that out would be Jean Claude Juncker. And did he over the weekend . Well, these are going to be tough negotiations, as we go ahead. Im asking the british people to give me a mandate. Did Jean Claude Juncker say to you Brexit Cannot be a success . I dont. Look, i dont recall the account that has been given of the meeting that took place. I think a lot of this is brussels gossip. It was a dinner in london and you were there its not brussels gossip, either he said it to you or he did not. The account, i think that the account that i have seen, a lot of that is brussels gossip, but what is important is that there is a key question for people when they come to this election. There will be 27 other eu countries on one side of the table, and who is going to be there standing up for the uk . Its either going to be me orJeremy Corbyn. You wanted an early deal on eu citizens and brits abroad, they said no. You wanted parallel talks about our divorce deal and trade at the same time, they said no. That doesnt inspire confidence, does it . Ive always said that there are complexities to this issue, and lots of detail that will need to be agreed. Brexit is not the only issue. Back her on brexit or not, for some voters, its just not enough. Theres massive problems with homelessness, house prices. Polite maybe, but her first sharp encounter this campaign. Youre solely focusing on brexit. No, its not. No, i know it isnt, but there is an impression. Brexit has huge opportunities for us. Boris johnson says its about selling haggis to the americans. Her team says she loves talking to voters, but what did that one make of her . The Austerity Cuts have been incredibly damaging, and we need a strong economy. I dont believe that brexit is going to take us into a strong economy. Ive neverfelt, in my adult life, so depressed about the state of this country, i really havent. Those two are quite angry, they had a lot to say. I know they did, but its too late to discuss that now were already going out, so why fight that . Brexit is the backdrop to this election. The Prime Minister wants to use the circumstances to build her authorities, but whether here or anywhere else, voters will make it absolutely plain it is not the only thing that will make up their mind. As that voter said steve on the cornish village, these should not all be about brexit, she was desperately worried that it is. We have already set out our plan for a stronger britain. This election, i genuinely believe, is the most important election the country has faced in my lifetime. We have an historic opportunity, it is an important moment of change for this country. Doesnt this sound strange from someone who was Home Secretary for six years in the previous gunman . I was very proud to have served in David Camerons cabinet, but i am my own person, and we are ina but i am my own person, and we are in a different set of circumstances, andi in a different set of circumstances, and i want to look editor the long term challenges that this country faces. Almost exactly a year ago, Prime Minister, i asked you whether you thought you wanted to be leader of the country, and you laughed and off, saying there wasnt a vacancy. Laughed and off, saying there wasnt a vacancy. We all know what has happened since then, many of your mps and ministers believe this could bea mps and ministers believe this could be a transformational election in terms of the tories taking back swathes of the country, you cannot laugh that. , you read the polls to. I have always, throughout my political career, i have never predicted election results, and polls come out that good, and polls come out that bad, and the only one that counts is the one that takes place on the 8th ofjune. That counts is the one that takes place on the 8th ofjune. If elected, will you serve the full term until 2022 . Elected, will you serve the full term until2022 . I have no intention of doing anything else because this is, asi of doing anything else because this is, as i say, an important time for oui is, as i say, an important time for our country. This socalled Bloody Difficult Woman wants to stay on as your Prime Minister. Persuading all of you . That might be difficult too. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, cornwall. And over the coming weeks, well be speaking to all the main party leaders. 0n the day the labour party announced a new Flagship Policy of taking on 10,000 extra Police Officers in england and wales, the shadow Home Secretary appeared confused in a radio interview about how much it would all cost. Diane abbott suggested a range of figures which varied by Tens Of Millions of pounds. Afterwards, ms abbott said she mis spoke about labours new policy and had got it correct in other interviews. The labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, insisted he wasnt embarrassed by her difficulties with the numbers. Heres our deputy political editor, john pienaar. There, over the road, you know him, the labour leader, promising to make the labour leader, promising to make the streets safer, 10,000 more police on the beat, catching criminals and paid for by the better off, using Capital Gains tax the tories plan to cut. What we are putting forward is a proposal to increase police numbers, we are putting 10,000 more Police Officers out there because it is a question of Community Policing and community involvement. There are many causes for crime, and they have to all be addressed, it is a collective approach. But labour has been hounded by tricky questions could they afford it . The parties ingested same money could go on schools or welfare, just examples, they say now, and what about the money . How much were 10,000 Police Officers caught . Well, if we recruit the 10,000 policemen and women over a full year period, we believe it will be about £300,000. £300,000 . 10,000 Police Others is . What are you paying them . How much will they cost . They will cost. It will cost. Um. About. About £80 million. I dont understand, 80 million. I dont understand, 80 million divided by 10,000, million. I dont understand, 80 million divided by10,000, equals 8000. What are these Police Officers going to be paid . We will be paying them the average. Has this been thought through . Of course it has been thought through but thousands, not millions, it is not the sort of thing which encourages people to trust you, is it . It has been clarified it will cost 300 million. Diane has my full support. She clearly does, and it is £300 million, not 80. Diane abbott brushed off the mix up, or try to do. I do know my figures, i did seven interviews this morning, and i misspoke in the seventh, but i do know my figures. That settled that, 01 know my figures. That settled that, ordid know my figures. That settled that, or did it . Trust is a problem for some of the voters in this part of southampton, in one of the tiny handful of seats that labour holds in the south east. Handful of seats that labour holds in the southeast. I believe the tories run the country like a business, where labour seems to borrow a lot of money and just rely on other people to pay it back later in life. What about Jeremy Corbyn . Corbyn is not really my politician, although i have got a little bit of respect for the fact that hes more ofa respect for the fact that hes more of a labour man than they have had in the past. Sincere and honest, he has got convictions . Yes, yes, although i have not got a lot of faith in him as a politician. Are you willing to give labour a chance . As long as they are willing to help the Working Class people. Do you think they are in the business of doing that . I would like to think so. Doing that . I would like to think so. This election is more about leadership, about the character of rivals than any i can remember since Margaret Thatcher first won, but policies that touch the lives of millions matter too, and Law And Order is one of those. Labour was fighting to regain trust on policies and personalities, and the tories need that advantage. Police funding has been protected since the last election, but before that it was cut back severely. We have reduced the number of policemen on the street since 2010, but because they have been spending the money wisely and we have worked on reform, there has been a reduction of crime of nearly a third since 2010. We believe you can protect funding and also reduce crime. Leaders like children at election time. Jeremy corbyn seems to mean it, but he needs britain to like him enough to make him Prime Minister that is a much bigger ask. John pienaar, bbc news, southampton. The former deputy Prime Minister and former Liberal Democrat leader, nick clegg, has said that ordinary people will pay the price of a hard brexit and warned people not to follow the conservatives to rule unopposed. In a campaign speech, mr clegg accused theresa may of seeking to pull the wool over voters eyes about the Damage Brexit was already doing and urged people to vote for a real opposition the Liberal Democrats. First minister Nicola Sturgeon has urged young people to back the snp so they can have a strong voice in westminster. Speaking at a rally in edinburgh, she said younger generations are being let down by the tory government. The green party say they will offer voters the chance of a second referendum with an option to remain in the eu. The partys election manifesto will include a pledge for a Ratification Referendum to be held after the eu has agreed the terms of brexit, if the majority of the electorate are unhappy with the final deal. Well, lets go back to our political editor, laura kuenssberg, who is in plymouth this evening, back to your interview with theresa may, she was absolutely at pains at least to give the impression that she will play ha rd ball the impression that she will play hardball in these Brexit Negotiations. Absolutely, the owner, and in the context of this Election Campaign and the Brexit Negotiations, there are going to be as many episodes of spin was as there are votes in plymouth harbour, but you are right, she is absolutely refusing to budge from what she has been described as a difficult stance, and in this part of the country, where there are plenty of voters who have turned to ukip in recent yea rs, voters who have turned to ukip in recent years, that is standing up to brussels, that narrative might play quite well. But for her rivals, and those who say it could be a real problem if she stays on as Prime Minister and wins the election, it is precisely that approach, that refusal to budge, that could cause such long term problems, because of course it is one thing to refuse to be pushed around, it is one thing to be pushed around, it is one thing to bea be pushed around, it is one thing to be a strong leader, but it is quite another to refuse to be realistic or refuse to listen. Laura, in plymouth, thank you. And in the run up to the election, Bbc News At Six would like you to let us know which issues youd like us to look into. Email yourelection bbc. Co. Uk with your name, your contact details, the issue you want to raise and why.
