that was diane abbott speaking to jo coburn. meanwhile — speaking earlier — the labour leaderjeremy corbyn said he ”wasn t embarrassed in the slightest" by diane abbott's performance — and, speaking to reporters —insisted she had his full support. 10,000 more police officers on the beat. that is what you would do if you we re that is what you would do if you were prime minister. how much is that going to cost? 300 million. £300 million. diane abbott was on the radio earlier saying it was 80 million. in fact, she got a bit confused. she said 300,000 and then 80 million. but you're saying it's 300 million? it will be paid for by not going ahead with the cuts in capital gains tax. isn't it embarrassing that she got it wrong while voters are trying to get you to put their trust in them?. not at all. we corrected it, it's now ina not at all. we corrected it, it's now in a manifesto and send back embarrassed in the slightest. these cuts in capital gains tax that you are reversing, that would see £2.7 billion, so they would

diane abbott is not a maths teacher. people make mistakes, she got the figures wrong at that point, she was put on the spot, i believe people who have made mistakes more than that, to the way it was taken out of context. at the end of the day, everything will be clarified in the manifesto. the views of our viewer llewellyn samuels. theresa may and jeremy corbyn have made it clear that they won't take part in any tv leaders debates during the campaign. but the french presidential candidates have shown no such reluctance. emmanuel macron and marine le pen were slugging it out again this week, in advance of sunday's second round of voting. translation: against terrorism we have to close our borders. straightaway, immediately. and that is what i will do the moment i take power. translation: closing borders achieves nothing. there are many countries outside the schengen area that have been hard hit as hard as us with terrorist attacks. we heard what the candidates had to say, but not in a way that satisfied our viewer elizabe

diane: june is absolutely on the table. from the fed's perspective, they are not taking the punch away from the party. they are, as dudley put it, adding a little more juice to the punch. they are not stopping the party entirely. one thing that will be difficult as they hoped a long expansion in overshooting would reengage those workers in rural areas that have really had the bulk of the pain. the question now is does full employment mean many of those workers not being engaged? that will be the real problem. how inclusive might it be? we are flirting with a very divisive economy going forward. yeah, exactly, and is this something janet yellen needs to worry about it all? is even really mandated with spending time on this? diane: doesn't matter whether she is mandated or not. this is something janet yellen has made clear is one of her goals for a long time. she is a labor economist, a veteran of the 1990's that she has gone against hawks within the federal reserve, saying, listen, if we went a little hot, we could reengage

privately, diane abbott is telling friends it was a car crash into privately, diane abbott is telling friends it was a car crash interview. 0ne friend said it is a bit like a moment when you wake up and you think, was it really that bad? and the answer is yes, it was. these accidents happen and it is not the first time nick ferrari has put someone in that situation, natalie bennett in the last election of the green party. what does it tell us? the danger is this. it makes labour looks dysfunctional and it plays into the conservative narrative that you have certainty with them and chaos under a future labour government. interestingly it shows there are poor relations between two of the leading members of the shadow cabinet who are old comrades on the left, which is diane abbott who was supposed to introduce the 10,000 officers, and john macdonald the shadow chancellor who is meant to pay for them. i understand diane abbott until 2am this morning was poring over a labour document on this because she feared the weak spot for her in the interview is labour had indicated the policy areas t

but diane abbott's number trouble had already been pounced on. she later tried to play down her morning performance. i do know my figures. as you will know, i did seven interviews that morning and that was the 7th that i misspoke. but i do know my figures. the conservatives in coalition cut funding for police forces and the number of officers is down almost 20,000 since 2010. budget were then protected in 2015 in real terms, although not all forces felt the reprieve. at the same time, crime has generally fallen although violent offences are thought to be up. the truth is we have reduced the number of policemen on the street from 2010. because the police have been spending that money wisely, and because we have worked with them on reform, there's been a reduction in crime of nearly a third since 2010. we believe you can protect funding and also reduce crime. this is not the first time that a politician has floundered when grilled about the detail of a proposal and it certainly won't be the last. but labour has been putting policy at the centre of
