A Textiles Company in yorkshire to find out how good we are exporting. In sport its not over yet for arsenal. Theyre up to fifth in the Premier League after beating southampton, just outside the Champions League places. And carol is out and about with the weather. Good morning. Iamat i am at Kenwood House in london where it is a beautiful yet chilly start to the day. For most of us it will be dry and sunny how whether there will be heavy downpours across parts of Southern England and south wales through the day. It will feel humid and some of us will reach 2a celsius. Do details in 15 minutes. Good morning. First, our main story. Labours draft election manifesto has been leaked more than a week before its official launch. The 51 page document was obtained by the bbc and several newspapers. It includes proposals to Nationalise The Railways and the Postal Service. A plan to create publicly owned Energy Companies in every region of the uk and the introduction of price caps. And theres a commitment to abolish tuition fees and reintroduce maintenance grants. The proposals are expected to be discussed by Senior Labour Figures including the Shadow Cabinet at a meeting later today. Our Political Correspondent Eleanor Garnier is in westminster. I will start by asking you how on earth has happened. It is certainly not what the party would have wanted and definitely not what they would have planned and i think a clue this is have planned and i think a clue this is across the 20,000 words of this says that it is draft and confidential. A big clue that they did not think anybody would get hold of this document because when parties publish their manifestoes it is meant to be a big set piece event. Their manual for governing is meant to be a big set piece event. Their Manualfor Governing is published with a huge amount of fa nfa re. Published with a huge amount of fanfare. Instead, with this series of lea ks fanfare. Instead, with this series of leaks it shows that there is a lot of Division Within the labour party and not a lot of discipline just four weeks out from the election. We have got it and we can see it, we are talking about it. What policies are the ones will be the Headline Grabbers now . There are many ideas in here. Some are new and some predictable. There are a few surprises as well. Some Labour Figures do see this document as probably the most left wing since the 1980s. Certainly the most detailed in a generation. There are 20 points alone for the rights of workers. There will be some policy that stand out and some that will not be popular. Remember, not every privatisation is seen as a success. Polling on some issues like renationalisation of railways and capping Energy Prices, they are not as controversial as some critics claim. 0ne as controversial as some critics claim. One interesting point is that in here, to please most of the unions is the existing labour party commitment to renewing the Trident Nuclear system. Significantly, however, there is also a commitment for a Defence Review. That will allow opponents of the Nuclear Deterrent system, including Jeremy Corbyn, to question the commitment to the Nuclear Weapons system. I think there will be a lot in here that will please a lot ofJeremy Corbyn supporters and on the other side there will be some policy that is not sitting well with the rest of the labour party and reach out to middle england Who Jeremy The Labour Party and reach out to middle england whoJeremy Corbyn does need to reach out to his to win this election. 0ne one of the things the leaking of this manifesto means is that we are talking about it this morning as we can now talk about the labour policies. Labour policies. Well be speaking to andrew gywnne, labours National Elections and Campaign Co Ordinator, just after 7. The conservatives say they will honour the nato commitment to spend at least 2 of economic output on defence if theyre returned to office. Theyll also increase the budget by at least 0. 5 above inflation in every year of a new parliament. James comey has made his first Public Comments since President Trump sacked him as the head of the fbi on tuesday. In a Farewell Letter to colleagues, mr comey said he wasnt going to spend time on the decision or the way it was executed. Democrats say they suspect the dismissal is linked to the fbis investigation into alleged links between the Trump Campaign and russia. Mr trump said mr comey was fired because he was not doing a good job. Three women are due to appear in court in london today, charged with preparing a Terrorist Act and conspiracy to murder. They include 21 year old rizlaine boular, who was shot by police during a raid at a property in willesden two weeks ago. Seven other people, arrested as part of the investigation, have been released from police custody. A Cold Calling Firm has been fined a record £a00,000 for making almost 100 million Nuisance Calls. Keurboom Communications Made unsolicited automated calls relating to Road Accident and Ppi Compensation. Keith doyle reports. Most of us have received them cold calls offering anything from help with ppi claims or Road Accidents to investing in some sort of scheme. The cold callers play a numbers game, bombarding people in the hope that some will bite and take up their offers, and the numbers are staggering. This one company, Keurboom Communications, based in bedfordshire, made almost 100 million automated phone calls injust 18 months. The calls were about a variety of subject, including ppi and road Traffic Accidents. People got numerous calls, often on the same day, often late at night. Companies are allowed to make marketing calls, but only if you have given permission, such as ticking a box on a form. This company didnt have permission, and so got a record £a00,000 fine from the information commissioner. You can avoid many Nuisance Calls by signing up to the telephone preference service. New laws which will allow the directors of cold Call Companies which breaks the rules to be fined should also mean fewer Nuisance Calls in the future. Young people on the latest hiv drugs now have a near normal Life Expectancy according to a new study. Researchers from Bristol University say new drug treatments mean many people who started treatment in this decade will live ten years longer than those who started treatment in the mid 1990s. Heres our Health Correspondent jane dreaper. Voiceover it is a deadly disease, and there is no known cure. Doom laden government adverts in the 19805 warned about the dangers of the virus behind aids, and urged us not to die of ignorance. Jonathan learned he was hiv positive in 1982. He didnt expect to be alive all these years later. Now 67, he is enjoying a healthy and happy retirement. I never thought that iwould hit 40, 50, 60. And to be a pensioner is amazing. I have been very, very fortunate. Medicine which stops Hiv Reproducing has helped jonathan and millions of others. These anti retroviral drugs became widely available in the uk two decades ago. Researchers from bristol say a 20 year old man who started Hiv Treatment in recent years should now live until the age of 73, and a woman should now reach 76, close to the average. It is hoped the findings will encourage anyone at risk of hiv to get tested for the virus. The Charity Terrence Higgins trust says this research is great news, although some people are still unaware they have hiv, and this means they are missing out on the treatment which will help them stay healthy into old age. Later today dyson, the engineering and Design Company will find out if its appeal to the European Court ofjustice to change the way Vacuum Cleaners are tested is successful. The Company Claims the present system is misleading as it tests appliances in a pristine condition without dust inside. Melanie abbott from the you and yours Consumer Programme reports.

There will be one or two showers left over from this morning across the north west and in the north and east there will be more cloud so that will hold the temperature down. Not as warm for you but as we come back into North East England down towards the wash and east anglia were back into the sunshine. The line of thundery showers trips, drifts north and it will not be as cold and night as in recent nights.
