The World Tonight

Does today's policy pledge reflect a deeper change in Conservative thinking under Mrs May? Or is this just political cross dressing to win votes? We have the latest on Labour's manifesto launch tomorrow -- expected to include plans to nationalise England's water companies. Emmanuel Macron calls for a "historic reconstruction" of Europe after talks with Chancellor Merkel in Berlin. But who is the man he's appointed as his Prime minister? And Ian Brady, the Moors murderer, dies in prison. (Picture: Unite leader Len McCluskey at a demonstration in London Credit: Reuters).
