In depth reporting, intelligent analysis and major breaking news from a global perspective

    Is this the "immigration election"?

    Is this the "immigration election"?

    It's one of the biggest battlegrounds of the election campaign - what the parties will do about immigration. We visit what in 2016 was the UK's most enthusiastic Brexit-backing constituency to find out why this is such a signficant concern for many voters - and we have live discussion on the political offer with two business leaders.
    Also tonight:
    Nigel Farage has told the BBC the EU and Nato “provoked” Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. We get reaction from a former head of Nato.
    After a Chief Constable is sacked for lying about his career and achievements - has the quality of our police chiefs declined?
    And France's football star Kylian Mbappe has worn a custom-fit mask at the Euros after breaking his nose. One of the leading designers of bespoke masks shows me how they work.

    Party leaders face Question Time audience

    The leaders of the four biggest political parties: Sir Ed Davey of the Liberal Democrats, John Swinney of the SNP, Sir Keir Starmer of Labour, and the Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, faced a half hour grilling each from a live Question Time audience in York. Sunak told the audience he was "incredibly angry" to learn of allegations that Tory insiders placed bets on the election.
    Senior IDF commander, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, told Israeli media that it is wrong to say Hamas can be eliminated. That's despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted Hamas's destruction is the objective of the military operation in Gaza.
    And after a six-decade acting career, Donald Sutherland passed away at the age of 88.

    When will interest rates come down?

    An officer in the Prime Minister's close protection team has been arrested over alleged bets on when the general election would be held. We have the latest from Westminster.
    Also tonight:
    As inflation hits the Bank of England's target for the first time in almost three years - could the Bank cut interest rates tomorrow? We speak to a former deputy governor of the Bank.
    Scientists have found micro plastics in penises for the first time. How concerned should we be about micro plastics entering the human body?

    UK voter registration closes

    UK voter registration closes

    With the deadline to register to vote looming, we speak to young voters who are still weighing up their choices.
    Also in the programme:
    US President Biden announces a new policy that would protect hundreds of thousands of undocumented spouses of US citizens from deportation. We hear from one of the affected families, and ask how this feeds into the politics of immigration in America.
    And, as the Post Office Inquiry continues, two forensic accountants take centre stage to expose the truth.

    France counts down to snap legislative election as campaign begins

    France counts down to snap legislative election as campaign begins

    France has just two weeks before the first round of voting in legislative elections called suddenly by Emmanuel Macron. The President is seeking to confront the electoral challenge of the populist, right-wing National Rally headed by Marine Le Pen, who won twice the number of votes of Macron's centrists in European elections earlier this month. But the political uncertainty has triggered a sell-off of French bonds and stocks. We speak to a member of Macron's Renaissance party.
    Here in the UK, it was the turn of the Reform party to present their platform for the general election: not a manifesto, but a contract, according to Nigel Farage. A contract that promised a freeze on "non-essential" migration and a huge overhaul of government finances with tax cuts and savings.
    And, six years after the death of Avicii, we hear from his father, who is using his son's legacy to support young people's mental health.
