Summary
It’s local election day in England and while people are voting broadcasters aren’t allowed to report details of campaigning or election issues… so we’re going global.
By that we mean Turkey, Sudan, Moscow and the West Bank.
The BBC’s Orla Guerin has interviewed Turkish opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu ahead of presidential elections there, Lyse Doucet has been reporting on Sudan, and Jeremy Bowen has just got back from Jerusalem.
But why are there restrictions on UK broadcasters on local election day? Adam also speaks to the BBC chief politics advisor for the lowdown.
Today’s Newscast was presented by Adam Fleming. It was made by Chris Flynn with Cecelia Armstrong and Jack Taylor. The technical producer was Dafydd Evans. The assistant editor is Alison Gee. The editor is Sam Bonham.

| 0:39.6 | that may explain why you're meeting within was less an ideal. |
| 0:43.2 | Love in the podcast and keep listening. |
| 0:45.4 | Thanks very much, cheers. |
| 0:47.2 | Thanks Jed, and adding to the pedants was Paul McKenzie who tweeted, |
| 0:51.8 | Jeff Capes was primarily a shop potter by trade, he was a double Commonwealth Games gold |
| 0:56.4 | med list, and then moved on to Strongland events. |
| 0:59.5 | He was never a weightlifter, snorty, emoji, hashtag BBC newscast. |

| 1:15.9 | that was probably when I saw the most of Jeff Capes rather than in his double Commonwealth |
| 1:21.0 | Games gold shop putting winning days. |
| 1:23.4 | So in my defence, that may have been why I was less specific about his skill set than |
