topic for conservative party have announced today involves reviving a phrase that perhaps many people would associate with rishi sunak�*s predecessor, levelling up. they're talking about the conservatives giving up to £20 million for 30 towns across the uk as part of long—term regeneration projects. this is an expansion of an existing policy, an existing fund. there have been conservatives lobbed at the conservatives today though as to whether this is a bit of a gimmick, whether this is a bit of a gimmick, whether as well they are skewing the money towards conservatives areas as we head towards polling day onjuly the 4th. they are very much rejected this, but the policy has come under criticism from labour for example, same the communities have felt the impact of conservative decline, while liberal democrats say that local councils, very central to local councils, very central to local communities, have been left begging for scraps over recent years
again as an mp, it was then announced she would be able to after lots of back and forth but i think certainly labour want to get their message back onto policy now after some internal disputes about that. they are, as you mentioned, announcing a new policy around reforming employment and benefits, trying to get more people into work. they said one of the ways they would do this is getting local mayors to bring employment schemes in the area and combining career support and job centres so people can get more advice when they are trying to find advice when they are trying to find a job. the conservatives, as you mentioned, are trying to expand their existing towns fund, so giving certain towns around the uk extra money which local people would decide to use to invest in things like regenerating the local high streets was that this is an existing scheme which they are expanding. the conservatives have denied this morning that this is a way to give certain areas that they want to win
we keep watching this donald trump show in the way that we get this temperature down is to be sober and serious about one thing that i hope we all agree on his america gins and that is that no one is above the law in this country and no one is below it either. so former president trump has the right to appeal. he will he is going to be sentenced in july on the 11th, which that's gonna be very interesting because he could be in jail before the convention four days later that is something the country is going to have to wrestle with what happens if this man goes to jail, or we really going to put on the same stage will debate will be over with president biden, right? but are we going to really elect someone that's in prison? whereas secret service agents can stay as congressman kinsey pointed out, right now donald trump couldn't get into the military, enlisted because he's a convicted felon. how are you going to be commander in chief when you can't get into million yet, he is fund raising an extraordinary amount of magnetic is my 53 million has been already been raised
develop local employment schemes. the conservatives have got a new announcement as well saying they will expand an existing fund for towns giving £20 million each to 30 new towns which would mean total number of town is now receiving this money would be around 100. a new places would include some towns like halifax, tamworth and bognor regis. they say could be used by local people for example to regenerate their high streets. the lib dems also have an eye—catching announcement this weekend and they say if they came to power they would mandate the premier league to show at least ten games per season on free to air television. so bbc or itv. they are heavily criticising the fact that at the moment a season ticket prices have been rising and so it has become very expensive for the fans if they want to watch premier league games either in person or streaming platforms and they say they will change the law to try to do this. and the snp have not really got a specific new policy
imparting all of this homespun wisdom about life too. them in honestly never heard talk so much. i heard her say to one of these kids this is so much fund, they never let me talk when i was in washington so it was she was a great, great percent one of the things that i really appreciated about her was she was completely resistant to the glitz and glamour of the white house he had very little interest in it she didn't really participate that much in all of that. she didn't gawk at the stars. are she she used to it would it actually was a source of concern because she would wander out of the white house by herself and just wander around washington with friends and she wanted to lead a normal life. and as soon as she could, she got back to the south side of chicago where she had spent her entire life other than those years in washington. but the years that she spent there were so important, the obamas
>> so there was an issue with the fan that essentially circulates air inside butch wilmore suit keep in mind, these are big heavy spacesuits. they've gotten better than the big heavy clunky silver suits from the apollo holidays, but they're still hot this is florida in the summer time, right. so you have to have a fan, you have to have air circulating inside this suit or these astronauts can overheat so that seems to be the issue but i believe they have just gotten it resolved. the astronauts just put their advisers back down. so that's always a good sign, elson. >> okay. kristinn charles stick around with us. we will need did your help obviously, throughout this hour, everyone, we're going to take a very quick break and be right back for more coverage of this live and historic launch ignite the celebration. >> this memorial day with the outdoor fund and flavor that split on a blackstone and join them more than 11 million blackstone users know this is
the crucial thing, though, is that it is now very clearly her choice, not that of the party. now, labour will be hoping, i think, that that story, that row, has concluded enough that it stops being a distraction from the campaign messages that it's trying to put out. and today we are going to hear from keir starmer on the topic of benefits and employment support. he is going to say that under labour those who can work will work. now those sound like strong words, but labour is not going to set out the sort of crackdown that we've heard of from the conservatives in recent months, the idea of bringing in more sanctions on people who refuse to look for work. what keir starmer is going to outline instead is a reform to the system. he's going to talk about the creation of a combined national jobs and careers service and what labour is calling a youth guarantee to get 18—to—21—year—olds into training and employment. they say that by getting more people into work, that'll bring the benefits bill down. the conservatives will be announcing 30 towns that they would extend an existing government fund

have been tracking the prime minister and the conservative campaign over recent days and we have gone to a variety of places, sort of middle to late in the week, including buckinghamshire, and as i say, we went to redcar and we were in the north—west yesterday as well and there have been a variety of announcements over those days and the one we had today, as you mentioned a moment ago, was this idea of kind of extending the levelling up a fund to give up to £20 million to 30 towns across the united kingdom and it is quite interesting to hear levelling up being brought out again as a phrase, as it may be one people more associate with the 2019 general election campaign led to then of course by borisjohnson, a predecessor of rishi sunak, and something borisjohnson really try to use also as part of his campaign to use also as part of his campaign to take those red wall seats of
