police in tenerife confirm that the search for missing british teenagerjay slater has been called off after nearly two weeks. gareth southgate makes one change to the england side facing slovenia. hello and welcome. we start here in the uk. with just five days to go before the general election, the leader of the reform uk party, nigel farage, has given a rally in birmingham. it comes just days after a racism row embroiled his party in scandal. the prime minister rishi sunak descirbed the incident as racist and inappropriate. speaking in front of a,000 people mr farage told crowds he felt compelled to come back to politics as an alternative to whom he called slippery sunak and sir keir starmer. mr farage also said he felt that the uk was in cultural decline.

that aside, with a country that's in economic decline. and think about this. gdp per capita has fallen for the last six consecutive quarters. people are getting poorer. and i couldn't stand aside. in a country that is in genuine societal decline, safety, people fearful of going out at night, people scared to even go out to their local pub, knives being carried wholesale by young people in our country. so we are, i have no doubt, in societal decline, and i couldn't stand aside in a country that is in cultural decline. nigel farrell is there. —— nigel

farage. democrat leader ed davey in stratford—upon—avon. he says people have been let down by the conservative government. just four days�* time, we can win the change our country so desperately needs. for far too long, people here in stratford and across the united kingdom have been taken for granted and let down by an out—of—touch conservative government. people have been working hard, bringing up theirfamilies, looking after their loved ones, playing by the rules. but they're finding it harder and harder to make ends meet. families and pensioners have been hit by skyrocketing energy bills, by food bills, by mortgages and rents all going up. and the conservatives have just made it worse. and they've not delivered on their promises to build those hospitals for our nhs. 0ur nhs is on its knees. people are worried that their loved ones are having to wait hours for an ambulance, weeks to see a gp, months to get urgent cancer treatment. and people are angry.

lib dems leader ed davey. meanwhile, rishi sunak has defended the conservatives�* fourteen year record in government. the prime minister said the country was now on the right track. he told the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg, the last few years had been difficult but the uk was now a better place to live in than in 2010. of course i understand that the last few years have been difficult for everyone. we had a once in a century pandemic followed by a war in ukraine that drove up everyone�*s bills and, of course, that has been difficult for everybody. but we've also made progress in tackling those things. inflation is back to normal, the economy growing again, wages rising, energy bills set to fall again just next week and now we are able to start cutting people's taxes to give them financial security. so, yes, of course it has been difficult, but we are now people more financial security and that is the key choice for people in this election, building on the progress that we have made. prime minister rishi sunak. meanwhile pat mcfadden has

defended the labour party's manifesto commitments to defence. first of all, the last time defence spending was at 2.5% of gdp was when labour was in power. the conservatives have been in for ia years and have had ia years to reach that figure and have never done so. now they say they want to do it. we actually said before they said that that we wanted to do it but there is another point about this too, which is like everything, we want to show financial responsibility about this and make sure that we can pay for it. and i think one of the features of this campaign, which we have had some criticism for from some quarters, has shown a significantly greater degree of financial responsibility than the conservatives. labour party's. the westminster leader of the scottish national party also joined laura kuensberg. he defended the party's spending commitments despite criticism from the ifs. when looking at this general election, there is that conspiracy... £80 billion worth of public sector

cuts which are agreed by both the labour party and the conservative party. it is a choice that they are making at this election. we, of course, oppose that. we believe that there should be investment in our nhs and public services. we have to get away from this race to the bottom on austerity that exists in westminster. it does not work. it has broken the fabric of society over the past ia years. why keir starmer would want to continue with that knowing the damage it has caused is beyond me. that's why we need scottish national party mps in westminster putting scotland's interests first. stephen flynn from the snp. harry farley has more. one of the biggest rallies i think we've seen in this election. it's been quite interesting that most of the parties have gone for quite stage managed kind of events that we've seen in the campaign so far. nigel farage, speaking at a big rally in birmingham, promising his party will be the voice of opposition, or the real voice of

opposition, in his words. and he said that thursday, the polling day on thursday would just be the start of what he wants to build as a mass movement. he described a mass movement across the uk and, as you say, criticising both the conservatives and labour. i think what will be interesting to watch out for on thursday, though, is not only how many seats reform win, but how many votes they get because they're not expected to win many seats across the westminster election. but it'll be interesting to see what proportion of the vote they get. and nigel farage, as he says, hoping that they will not not only win some seats but also show that they can be a real political force in years to come. the bbc news live page has more on the election here at home. go online for expert analysis, live video and a picture gallery.

voting in the first round of france's parliamentary elections is under way. president emmanuel macron cast his vote alongside first lady brigitte macron at a polling station outside paris. far—right leader marine le pen has also cast her ballot. her eurosceptic, anti—immigrant national rally party was a longtime pariah but is now closer to power than it has ever been. and this here isjordan bardella — the 28 year old is seen as a protege of marine le pen. his party is expected to come first but it's unclear whether command an overall majority. the surprise election, called by president macron, has thrown french politics into disarray. what do you think the record vote turnout means? figs what do you think the record vote turnout means?— what do you think the record vote turnout means? as of five pn, eight minutes ago. _

election that had ensnared himself. let's get the mood out of paris and go to the south of paris. chris, in the south—west of france, much more supportive of the left traditionally, huge vote for macron last time. what everybody sang? i am t in: to do last time. what everybody sang? i am trying to do the _ last time. what everybody sang? i am trying to do the maths as well. my calculations were up 30% from a few years _ calculations were up 30% from a few years ago _ calculations were up 30% from a few years ago. i've been trying to assess— years ago. i've been trying to assess what that means. what viewers need to _ assess what that means. what viewers need to know is that this is very much _ need to know is that this is very much a — need to know is that this is very much a far_ need to know is that this is very much a far left stronghold. the leader— much a far left stronghold. the leader of— much a far left stronghold. the leader of the far left party has a bil leader of the far left party has a big following here and he has a lot of mps _ big following here and he has a lot of mps. my gut instinct is that a lot of— of mps. my gut instinct is that a lot of people were voting here are probably— lot of people were voting here are probably come here in droves to keep out the _ probably come here in droves to keep out the far— probably come here in droves to keep out the far right. a lot of people i have _ out the far right. a lot of people i have been— out the far right. a lot of people i have been speaking to in the last

yourself to a full strength lager now. looking cloudier and cooler across the board. we saw top temperature of 25 degrees across the south east of england yesterday, looking more like 20 or 21 today. and that's pretty much how the week ahead is shaping up. it's going to be changeable, low pressure, always close by. most of the rain will be in the north and the west of the country, and it will be rather cool for the time of year. still no signs of another hot and sunny spell on the cards. this ridge of high pressure has brought quite a bit of dry weather around this morning. a few splashes of rain in towards the south east of england through the afternoon the cloud just may be thick enough on the spine of the country for the odd spit and spot of rain,

otherwise mostly dry, limited sunshine, probably the best of it. southern and southwest england, where we could be up to highs of 20 or 21 degrees. for most of though, it's the mid to high teens now. this evening, any showers or spits and spots of rain fade away and overnight it turns drier with clear spells developing. but we look to the west to a new set of weather fronts, pushing in to bring thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain. here, temperatures becoming a little bit 12 degrees here, but under clearer skies further east we could see a few single digits. so into monday we've got this weather front crossing the country. i think on its southern flank there won't be that much in the way of rain. it should be mostly dry or it should fizzle as it pushes towards eastern areas. but we start with some sunshine. most of the rain will be across scotland, northern england into the afternoon, not pushing out into the north sea. and again, temperatures because of a lack of sunshine will be a bit disappointing. 20 or 21 degrees. remember, monday is the first day of wimbledon. there may be the odd spot of rain on that front as it moves through during the afternoon. i think a better chance of staying dry though. on tuesday, perhaps a few glimmers of brightness and again, temperatures into the low 20s. and the reason for that is this

ridge of high pressure exerts its force across the country just a little bit more on tuesday. so we start off on a fine note. lots of sunshine around for england and wales. cloud tending to build up though into the afternoon, and on this westerly breeze we will see some showers or longer spells of rain pushing into scotland, certainly across northern and western scotland. so here a little bit wetter again, temperatures pretty disappointing 1a to 20 or 21 degrees. and that's how it stays for the rest of the week. most of the rain will be in northern and western areas. a better chance of escaping the rain across the south and the east, but it will be rather cool for the time of year, both by day and by night.
