A tough question from an audience member, a retired man who wants to pass something on to his children.

She explains her social care policy to the man saying she wants to ensure "nobody is going to have to sell their house in their lifetime". It's a "sustainable solution for the long term" - if we don't do something about social care it will "collapse".

The first audience question is about how many extra police officers the Conservatives bring in.

"We are ensuring we are putting money in to address different types of crime," says Theresa May, adding that it's important that there are enough officers and that they have the powers they need.

She is challenged with the figures for officers, which show cuts, but she says savings were needed due to the inherited debts.

A warm welcome for moderator Faisal Islam from Theresa May as she joins him on set to face questions from the audience.

Mr Corbyn survived his encounter with Paxman without losing his cool too much - managing to deflect most of the attacks, which centred around his past political position and associations. Will Theresa May get the same treatment?

The Labour leader is pressed on his attitude to Hamas, who Jeremy Paxman reminds him has killed women and children and says he has called them "friends".

Mr Corbyn says dialogue is important in bringing about a peace process, that "you have to work with people often you don’t agree with, that you don’t like.

"I do not agree with them; I do not supprt them but at the end of the day there has to be a process in which people talk to each other," he says.

Osama Bin Laden should have been put on trial rather than killed, says Mr Corbyn - after being quizzed about why he once said the death of Bin Laden was a "tragedy".

More from Mr Corbyn's back catalogue now - his opposition to the Falklands War in the early 1980s, when he said it was a "Tory plot".

He thought Argentina should not have invaded the Falklands, he says, but there should have been a negotiated solution - he felt the then PM Margaret Thatcher was exploiting the situation, he added.

Jeremy Paxman moves on from duffing the Labour leader up over how many of his longstanding beliefs have made it into Labour's manifesto to Brexit.

How much are you prepared to pay to get a Brexit deal in Europe?, he asks.

Mr Corbyn won't put a figure on it, saying nobody knows.

Jeremy Corbyn defends his shadow chancellor John McDonnell when Jeremy Paxman raises the issue of the security services. He asks how people can take Labour's pledges on the services seriously, when Mr McDonnell has been photographed with a letter talking about disbanding MI5 and Special Branch.

Mr Corbyn insists that Mr McDonnell supports the need for more police officers as well as greater accountability to parliament.

Jeremy Corbyn gets a laugh from the audience, after Jeremy Paxman accuses him of wanting to get rid of the Monarchy and asking why that belief is not in the Labour manifesto.

"It's not in there because we are not going to do it," says Mr Corbyn, who adds that he gets on well with The Queen.

He attempts to steer the conversation back to Labour policies on health and schools and away from the Queen, who he suggests should not be brought into politics.

Jeremy Paxman repeatedly asks if Jeremy Corbyn thinks it is morally right that Labour is committed to renewing Trident. The Labour leader sticks to his position that it was voted on by the Labour Party conference.

He is then asked by Paxman why the manifesto does not include a commitment to nationalise the banks - something he has called for in the past. Why does it include things he does not agree with?

"I am not a dictator," says Mr Corbyn, saying the manifesto was a joint effort.

The Labour leader looks relaxed as he faces Jeremy Paxman. The veteran interrogator - best known for his long stint on Newsnight - goes on the attack over the party's manifesto which he says does not include Mr Corbyn's policy on nuclear disarmament.

Mr Corbyn is quizzed about his stance on nuclear weapons - he wants to live in a world that is "free" of them and he would work towards that as prime minister.

"I will write the appropriate letters" to Britain's "loyal" nuclear submarine commanders, he says when asked about the traditional first job of any prime minister.

Prime ministers have to write sealed orders to the commanders advising them what to do in the event of the government being knocked out by a nuclear attack. No one apart from the prime minister knows what is in the letters, which can give the commander the authorisation to select targets and fire the weapons themselves.

Jeremy Corbyn is challenged on corporation tax and accused of having ruthless short-sighted policies by a man who says it is impossible for business owners to vote Labour.

Mr Corbyn tells him the country is badly divided and asks if he is happy "that so many children are going to school in super-sized classrooms", going to school hungry.

"I appeal to you - recognise that we are all better off when everyone is better off," he says, adding that the next generation should not be worse off that this one.

Small busineses, he says, are often exploited by bigger ones.

Mr Corbyn ends his answer by asking "How did we get this welfare state?" and answers the question: "Because the Labour Party was brave enough to invest in the future."
