this strong everywhere in france. this will enable us to move forward. my fellow french men and women, over the last few years, people have been disappointed, sometimes angry, and we in the last years have moved relentlessly to protect what is essential to us, our republic. we must continue to do so with the hundreds of candidates who are working together for the republic. to protect the french as best as we can. today you have voted, to date you have brought our democracy to life, it is what we hold dear —— dearest. we will unite, we will continue to resist. let's put together for the republic and vote for the candidates who defend the republic. thank you.

studio: the french prime minister gabriel attal giving his reaction to what has been quite a historic parliamentary election in france, if those exit polls are correct because at the moment they suggest marine lieutenant�*s hard right national rally party has taken the biggest share of the vote in the first round of france's parliamentary elections. these are the exit polls thus far, but if they do indicate that this is indeed marine le pen's hard right national rally party taking the biggest share of the vote in the first round, it is indeed a historic result. let's cross live to paris were my colleague is monitoring this. we havejust

monitoring this. we have just heard gabriel attal give his first reaction to those exit polls. indeed and let me — reaction to those exit polls. indeed and let me give _ reaction to those exit polls. indeed and let me give you _ reaction to those exit polls. indeed and let me give you a _ reaction to those exit polls. indeed and let me give you a flavour- reaction to those exit polls. indeed and let me give you a flavour of. and let me give you a flavour of what he had to say because he has just spoken in the last few minutes and he said france must stop the far right, the national rally from an absolute majority in the next round of the elections in a week's time because the way that the electoral system works is if no candidate gets above 50% in the first round today it goes to a second round run—off. there is now going to be intense horse training between who came second and third, the left and president macron�*s centrist coalition as to whether any of them dropped out and rally behind the candidate who could stop the far right in next sunday's second round of elections. gabriel attal saying we must stop the national rally from absolute majority next sunday. 289 seats in france's assembly. it is a

moral duty to stop the worst from happening, he said. this will harm our country and we must support candidates who defend france's republican values. a clear call from gabriel attal to rally behind the candidate who can stop a far right victory. that shows you the depth of turmoil france is now in after emmanuel macron took that gamble, many would see a reckless gamble, a grossness calculation possibly, to halt a snap parliamentary election that the far right have one in this first round. they have come out on top and then president macron trailing in third place. many go to a second round. first of all jubilation in the far right national rally. marine le pen, the de facto head of the party who will be running for the presidential

election we expect in 2027, she spoke to her crowd of supporters as the exit polls came through. translation: the people of france have demonstrated unequivocally in this vote they desire to turn a page after seven years of the exercise of contemptuous corrosive power. we thank the voters won the and welcomed the result is the first step towards demonstrating a sign of confidence _ step towards demonstrating a sign of confidence in us, which is an honour and an_ confidence in us, which is an honour and an obligation. a confidence in us, which is an honour and an obligation.— and an obligation. a lot of confidence _ and an obligation. a lot of confidence from _ and an obligation. a lot of confidence from marine i and an obligation. a lot of| confidence from marine le and an obligation. a lot of- confidence from marine le pen who will be hoping 28—year—old jordan bardella, the president of the national rally, who is candidate for prime minister, secures an absolute majority next sunday. he said he will only become prime minister if there is an absolute majority, he will not accept elite fans of the is a hung parliament. we will have to see what happens next sunday but this is uncharted territory for france. many people will be furious at president macron for pointing

this country into political chaos with this early election. it comes to and a half years earlier than it should have been. president macron has not made a statement publicly, but wrote a statement in which he has said... that is a call from president macron from eight united front to stop the rally, we will have to see if people heed that warning. we will have to see if they vote for the far right... that warning was not heeded by vultures today. let's unpick that by vultures today. let's unpick that by the time being. —— voters today.

parties that are extremely divided within their groups and a very different programme.- within their groups and a very different programme. let's talk about the global _ different programme. let's talk about the global order. - different programme. let's talk about the global order. ukrainej about the global order. ukraine depends on support from the west, the national rally, the far right, now supports ukraine but this is a party that accepted a big loan from a russian bank. marine le pen was in moscow to get vladimir putin's blessing before the 2017 election. what could that mean for the ukraine conflict? it what could that mean for the ukraine conflict? , , ., , , conflict? it is probably the scariest move _ conflict? it is probably the scariest move that - conflict? it is probably the scariest move that could l conflict? it is probably the - scariest move that could happen for our partners, it is quite real that they have strong links with russia, but the line has been really unclear. especiallyjordan bardella unclear. especially jordan ba rdella who unclear. especiallyjordan bardella who could become prime minister, he has insisted that he will not change france's direction in terms of solidarity with ukraine, in terms of real monetary funds and decisions. that could come very quickly and have no more support for ukraine. actually it was a decision made to send millions to the ukraine army that has not been voted in

parliament and is now hanging. italics parliament and is now hanging. calls from the president _ parliament and is now hanging. calls from the president to rally the troops to block the national rally. but we are talking about vastly different parties in the centre, in the left, a leftist coalition of trotskyists, greens, socialists. can there really be a united front against the national front for the second round? fin against the national front for the second round?— second round? on the left, it is clear from _ second round? on the left, it is clear from the _ second round? on the left, it is clear from the start, _ second round? on the left, it is clear from the start, if - second round? on the left, it is clear from the start, if they - second round? on the left, it is i clear from the start, if they come insert their candidate will withdraw. what is tricky is if they should not get a majority vote, they cannot form a government and we are stuck with a hung parliament. and as you rightly said, there are three main blocks, the left, centre and the right, they have nothing in common meaning they will have to form coalitions with people who have nothing to do with one another. so we are entering uncharted territories or institutions are

created so we can avoid the situation. now we have got to be creative, which is not a french specialty. creative, which is not a french specialty-— creative, which is not a french secial . , ., ., ., specialty. present macron wanted to come into power— specialty. present macron wanted to come into power to _ specialty. present macron wanted to come into power to bridge _ specialty. present macron wanted to come into power to bridge the - specialty. present macron wanted to come into power to bridge the right| come into power to bridge the right and left, he has pushed people to the extremes.— and left, he has pushed people to the extremes. absolutely. when he was first elected _ the extremes. absolutely. when he was first elected in _ the extremes. absolutely. when he was first elected in 2017, _ the extremes. absolutely. when he was first elected in 2017, he - the extremes. absolutely. when he was first elected in 2017, he had - the extremes. absolutely. when he was first elected in 2017, he had a l was first elected in 2017, he had a very strong position where he said after my first term, i want people to be without reasons to vote for it national rally. he wanted them to be extinct. here we are today, where they are basically at the doorsteps of power, marine le pen is getting more and more votes, she had more votes today that she had in 2022, and he wanted to reform the fifth republic. the reality hits he might actually bury it. if republic. the reality hits he might actually bury it— actually bury it. if the far right aet into actually bury it. if the far right get into government, - actually bury it. if the far right get into government, there i actually bury it. if the far right - get into government, there would be this awkward, what is known in france, to with a centrist

party pledges would be unconstitutional and might have to be forced through any constitution. this country is having shock waves as we speak cent through it, we will have to see whether there is a majority for the far right after sunday's second round, or as whether the prime minister said that is a united front to block it. that is all from paris for now. i will hand you back. many thanks to you, the team and the guests live in paris but the reaction to those exit polls. the historic result if confirmed. we turn to the euros — where england have come within a minute of being knocked out — but managed to beat slovakia to secure their place in the last eight. they went behind in the first half and needed a goal deep into injury time at the end of the second half, from jude bellingham to equalise. butjust a couple of

minutes into extra time — a goal from harry kane gave them the lead — which they held, giving them victory in last 16 tie. joe inwood was in a fan zone in brixton. to say it was tense, it is a bit of an understatement. i feel like to say it was tense, it is a bit of an understatement. ifeel like i have aged thanks to that game. i am 'ust about have aged thanks to that game. i am just about starting _ have aged thanks to that game. ian just about starting to come down after what was the most extraordinary 120 minutes of football. we shouldn't let what happened in the last 31 minutes take away from the fact that the start of this was pretty diabolical from england's perspective. it was not a game of two halves, i cannot do the maths quickly enough but a game of two parts because until that bicycle kick from jude bellingham in the 95th minute of football went in, the mood here was low. the fans have

been sympathetic to gareth southgate before the match started, they had been optimistic and as the game more on and ingrid were really poor, i think it is fair to say, you had the country from my colleagues on itv, they were saying they cannot believe they were saying they cannot believe they were saying they cannot believe they were not making changes and doing something —— commentary. what happened in the end was a moment of individual magic, offshoot of good fortune and sheer class from jude bellingham that put england level with slovakia and through to extra time. and after that, my word, i had very rarely experience an atmosphere like it, a match like it. at the end of the full—time whistle went and england were to extra time. and after that, england were to extra time. and afterthat, my england were to extra time. and after that, my word, england were to extra time. and afterthat, my word, i had england were to extra time. and after that, my word, i had very rarely experience an atmosphere like it, a match like it. at the end of the full—time whistle went and england were 2—1 victors, harry kane not down michael tony, it felt like england had won the euros. all the

anthems were being sung. it really was remarkable. i think england are now going through with a feeling of positivity, not because of the quality of the performance, but because of the nature of the victory. i think that is going to put them through with the feel—good factor which may be was lacking after that lacklustre 0—0 draw against slovenia in the final game of the group stage. england fans have finished deceiving on a high, evenif have finished deceiving on a high, even if it was an emotional roller—coaster to get there. that even if it was an emotional roller-coaster to get there. that is an understatement. _ roller-coaster to get there. that is an understatement. england - roller-coaster to get there. that is an understatement. england fans. roller-coaster to get there. that is i an understatement. england fans are so fickle, before bellingham equalised, you are questioning gareth southgate's feature. where is the love and consistency? i can gareth southgate's feature. where is the love and consistency?— the love and consistency? i can one u . the love and consistency? i can one u- ou. i the love and consistency? i can one op you- l was _ the love and consistency? i can one up you. i was live _ the love and consistency? i can one up you. i was live on _ the love and consistency? i can one up you. i was live on air _ the love and consistency? i can one up you. i was live on air with - the love and consistency? i can one up you. i was live on air with our. up you. i was live on air with our colleagues at sport state with two people calling for gareth southgate to be immediately dismissed and i

probably was not disagreeing with them. possibly in my mind and possibly on air that this was it, he had humiliated the team and he must go immediately when the call went in. and after that, within minutes, gareth southgate chance going around. england fans have been externally fickle. i would see it possibly another way, england fans have may be forgiven or overlooked or put up with some very poor performances and there has been a well of support and a fondness for gareth southgate in the way he has managed this team, which means they were happy to continue supporting and have a look there is very negative performances. i will tell you what, tonight very much proves that point. it you what, tonight very much proves that oint. . ., , ., , that point. it certainly does. the fans are still _ that point. it certainly does. the fans are still going _ that point. it certainly does. the fans are still going strong, - that point. it certainly does. the| fans are still going strong, some sore heads tomorrow morning. thank you so, so much.

much more on our website and we will await next weekend's game. now to tenerife. the spanish civil guard has called off the search for the missing british teeenagerjay slater. the 19—year—old from lancashire has been missing in tenerife since 17th june, after he told a friend he was lost in the mountains. police carried out a new search on saturday with the help of dozens of emergency workers near the village of masca, in the rural de teno national park. our correspondent guy hedgecoe gave us this update. i'm actually in masca and right in front of the place where jay slater was last sighted on june the 17th, walking along the road behind me that morning. and ever since then there has been this search organised by the local police, which has involved helicopters, drones, personnel on the ground, sniffer dogs. and you mentioned there that

that search was ramped up yesterday with rescue services and local volunteers. now, all of those search efforts have so far been in vain. they have not provided any information or any trace of jay slater�*s whereabouts. and the police today said that they have called off that search, although the investigation, they say, remains open. so that's where we're at at the moment. the search by the local authorities has been halted, although the investigation does remain open. so the investigation remains open. there must be a lot of concern locally about what has been happening on this island. yes, i mean, understandably so. and members ofjay slater�*s family have been out in tenerife in this area to monitor, and in some cases take part in the search efforts.

his father was here on this spot yesterday, with the civil guards and the other rescue workers taking part in that search. a friend of the slater family, rachel hargreaves, who has been here as well, has said that the family intends to remain on the island. certainly his parents seem to have the intention of remaining on the island, at least for the time being, and they want to keep searching for him also tomorrow. they say they intend to speak to the local authorities to learn more about the investigation. so clearly the family is not giving up and they want to talk to the authorities to learn more about the investigation and possibly if there are going to be any more efforts to find out what happened. now it's time for a look at today's sport with ben.

where do we start? most of england probably breathed a huge sigh of relief a couple of hours ago after men's football team came from behind against slovakia to dramatically earn their place in the last eight of the european championship. here's how it all unfolded. ivan schranz poked slovakia ahead in the 25th minute and england didn't muster a shot on target until the 95th minute. it was worth the wait withjude bellingham's overhead kick sending the game to extra time. he mouthed "who else" in the celebrations. less than a minute into that extra time — harry kane headed home the winner. england will play switzerland in the quarter final next saturday. i think the adrenaline gets you, it is a combination of a lot of things. playing for england is an enjoyable filling but also a lot of pressure, you hear people talk a lot of rubbish and it is nice when you deliver, you can give them a little bit back. it is very difficult in press conferences and interviews and things like that to talk as openly

as footballers want to because they are always judged, and for me football and being on the pitch, scoring goals and celebrating is my police, and it was maybe a message to some people, but a very happy moment and full of adrenaline. in cologne, spain are taking on georgia. well into the second half now. it is currently 2—1 spain. georgia actually took the lead when robin le normand turned the ball into his own net but manchester city midfielder rodri fired spain level six minutes before the break. six minutes after the break, fabian ruiz made it 2—1. follow this on the bbc sport website. to formula one and it was a largely processional austrian grand prix but a late collision involving max verstappen and lando norris gifted george russell a surprise victory. the mclaren and red bull came together with just seven laps

remaining as they duelled for the lead, the damage forcing norris to retire, whilst verstappen dropped down to fifth.. it enabled mercedes driver russell to take just his second career victory, ahead of carlos sainz and oscar piastri. monday signifies the start of wimbledon but we'll not know until tomorrow whether or not andy murray will be able to play in the men's singles. having undergone a minor back operation just under a week ago, he says he's leaving it until the last minute to decide on his fitness, admitting he doesn't have 100% feeling in his legs following the surgery to remove a cyst from his spine. he's due to play tomas machac in the first round on tuesday. i'm going to play a set again tomorrow, i'm going to do some physical testing in the morning before that just to see where my movement is. and then, you know, i should probably be able to make a decision, you know, tomorrow or tomorrow afternoon, evening. but everyday it has been getting better and better, ijust don't know whether it's enough time. the top seed in the women's draw iga swiatek says the long tennis calendar is partly behind her decision not to play any grass court tournaments into the build up to the third grand slam of the year. she took time off after

winning the french open — and has never been past the last eight at the all england club. i need to take a break after this clay—court season because it will be impossible for me to manage the rest of the season to november, basically, properly, so i came here early to practise on the same grass i am going to play matches on and it was a smart move this year, but every year we will plan it a little bit differently. pre—race favourite tadej pogacar is the new leader of the tour de france after pulling ahead of most of his main rivals on stage 2. the race is actually in italy right now with kevin vauquelin taking the biggest win of his career. but pogacar put time into all but a handful of contenders to take the yellow jersey. he's bidding for an unusual double — having already won the giro d'italia this year. you're up to date from the bbc sport centre. thank you so much. from monday, visitors will be allowed into previously unseen parts of balmoral — the royal family's scottish

holiday home. the new guided tour allows the public into several rooms in the aberdeenshire castle, which has been used by successive monarchs since queen victoria. from balmoral we will take your life to new york to show you images from new york pride, where thousands have gathered to celebrate this year's new york pride. the theme this year is reflect, empower and unite. with thousands of people gathering there, just yesterday we had lunch and pride. this year it celebrates the 40th year of this heritage of pride event and marks the 55th anniversary of the stonewall uprising. lovely images from new york. lots more on our website.

hello there. pa rt part two of the weekend looking cooler. it is going to be changeable with low pressure close by, most of the rain will be in the north and west of the country and it will be call for a time of year, 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, so splashes of rain to a south—east of england and through the afternoon, the cloud may be picking up the spine of the country for the spit spot of rain, mostly dry with limited sunshine, the best of it in southern and south—west. for most it

is mid to high teens. this evening any showers or spots of rain fade away and overnight it turns drier with clear spells developing but we look to the west for a new set of weather fronts pitching look to the west for a new set of weatherfronts pitching in to bring thinker cloud and outbreaks rain. temperatures becoming 12 degrees, but under clear skies could see single digits. into monday, we have got this weather front crossing the country. on its southern flank they will not be much in the way of rain, it should be mostly dry or it should fizzle as it pushes to its eastern areas but without some sunshine, most of the men will be across scotland, northern england into the afternoon and pushing out into the north sea. temperatures because of a lack of sunshine will be disappointing, 20 or 21 degrees. monday is the first day of wimbledon, there may be the odd spot of rain as it moves through the afternoon, the better chance of staying dry on a tuesday, perhaps some glimmers of brightness and temperatures into the low 20s. the reason for that is this ridge of

high pressure exerts its voice across the country, just a little bit more on tuesday. start off on a final note, lots of sunshine for england and wales, cloud builds up in the afternoon and on this westerly breeze we will see showers or longer spells of rain pitching in to scotland, certainly across northern and western scotland. a little bit wetter, to bejust disappointing. 14—21 . that is how it stays for the rest of the week, most of the rain will be for northern and western areas with a better chance of escaping the rain for the south and east. it will be radical for a for the south and east. it will be radicalfor a time of for the south and east. it will be radical for a time of day for the south and east. it will be radicalfor a time of day in both day and night. —— rather cool.

this is bbc news, the headlines... a harry kane header gives the three lions victory over slovakia with less than one minute into extra time. england will face switzerland in the european championship quarterfinal this coming saturday. marine le pen's hard—right national rally party is projected to have won the most votes in the first round of the parliamentary election in france. it's predicted that the party got about 34% of the vote. a reform uk candidate disowns the party — saying he's disillusioned — and endorses the local conservative candidate instead. liam booth—isherwood said there is a "significant moral issue" in parts of the party, following racism and sexism scandals. and — a sky full of stars at coldplay�*s record—breaking fifth glastonbury headline performance

last night, with a few suprise guests. we'll bring you a special report as r&b singer sizza closes the festival. let's go back to the euros — and how england took their fans on emotional roller—coaster — before beating slovakia. this goal midway through the first half by schranz gave the slovaks the lead. and despite hitting the post, and creating several other good chances, it wasn't until the fifth minute of injury time at the end of the match that jude bellingham equalised, with an overhead kick. that meant extra time — and it took england just one minute to take the lead — with this header by harry kane. they held on to see out the 2—1victory — meaning they will face switzerland for a place in the semifinal next saturday. every time england has played i have spoken to stephen wall and his family, who are — to put it lightly —

pretty big england fans. here's what they had to say about todays match. i went from absolute anguish and despair to elation. and it's all down to my man from birmingham, jude bellingham. he saved the day right at the last kick of the kick of the game kick of the, kick of the game in normal time, and then came come up with the goods. scored that header and this, this house went up. it was all cheering was celebrating. it was absolutely fantastic. but it was just, all of that waiting. hugo, you've... you were saying you lovejude bellingham. you really enjoy watching him. you play football as well. he left us waiting so long, didn't he, hugo? yeah. ijust wanted him tojust score. i was in suffocation when they scored. i was like, no! and then when he just got, like, 80 minutes or so, i was so sad. i was like, you've lost.

you've been knocked out. i was telling tommy that. 0h, tommy, you don't want to hear that, do you, tommy? and so just tell me, because tommy is which member of the family. is which member of the family? because you've got more kids there now, steve. yeah. so i've got the family with me, obviously. we've got matt's wife, claire, my two children, hugo and florence. we've also got my mother and father in law, gailand dave. we've got kelly and her amazing two children, daisy and tommy. tommy were in the same year at school, and they both play for the same football team as well. really good friends. oh, that's fantastic. it's great to see you all there. but that means, florence, because when we first spoke to you, i believe you guys, hugo and florence had gone swimming. and that's when. dad and mum claire — there you are — took the kids swimming. and that's when dad stephen went into action, putting all of those shirts up. florence, that means that those shirts are staying for longer. are you happy about that? no.

laughter. still a no. it's been a firm no so far. every time we've spoken. claire, you're putting up with this. but it's lovely to see that these kind of events, claire, bring all of the family together. absolutely. it's lovely for us all to come together and to watch the team, and it's always better when you win. so hopefully we'll get plenty more of the wins in and we won't of the wins in and we will make the final. and i know steven, when we initially spoke all those of goodness weeks spoke all those of, goodness, weeks before you called it forjude bellingham, you said that he was going to be brilliant and he certainly was tonight. he's world class. i mean, he'sjust literally turned 21 yesterday. as birmingham city fans, we've seen it at the age of eight or nine. he was playing four years above his age in terms of the football. so at under—13 at under— 17, he's just fantastic. he's a world class player.

so at under—13 at under— 17, he's just fantastic. he's a world class player. he's stepping up to the big stage now, and i think it's there for the world to see. what a way to celebrate. of course, because he was only 20 when this tournament started and so he's turned 21. my goodness, i'm feeling old. what about you guys? obviously not the kids. no, i feel incredibly old. we're old. we've got work tomorrow. i think there will be a few heads across the country, won't there? well, listen, i just want to say a massive thank you, steven wall and the whole family. and it's been brilliant that you let us into your front room every time england play. when are they playing next? do we know yet? saturday. saturday at 5:00. excellent. yeah, yeah. it's coming home. is it coming out! let's go. i seem to speak to them every time england is playing a match, we will

speak to them again hopefully on saturday. we're now in the final stretch ahead of uk voters going to the polls on thursday. this morning rishi sunak strongly defended the conservatives' record in government as the election campaign enters the last few days. he told the bbc the uk was a better place to live in now than it was when the tories took office in 2010. he accused labour of planning to put up taxes. labour says all the party's plans are fully costed. here's our political correspondent, leila nathoo. no, no, no, no, no. i've got to pay for this. only a few more days of encounters like this. rishi sunak visiting a bakery in north london this afternoon. have you had a nice weekend? with the election now around the corner, today, he maintained he would still be prime minister on friday and defended his party's record when challenged over whether the country was better now than when the conservatives took charge. we had a once—in—a—century pandemic, followed by a war in ukraine that drove up everyone's bills. and of course that's been

difficult for everybody. but we've also made progress in tackling those things. inflation back to normal, the economy growing again, wages rising, energy bills set to fall again just next week. and now we're able to start cutting people's taxes to give them financial security. labour took a break from big campaign events today, but a mindful of the fact they need their huge lead in the polls to actually translate into votes. i'm proud of the campaign that we've run. i think we've put forward real and meaningful change and done it with an eye on responsibility because of the legacy that we're going to get after 14 years of the tories. but change will only come if people vote for it on thursday. winning back seats in scotland is one of labour's tasks next week. the snp accused both main parties of not being honest with voters about what lies ahead. there is that conspiracy of silence, there is £18 billion worth of public sector cuts, which are agreed by both the labour party and the conservative party. that's the choice that they are

making at this election. we, of course, oppose that. we believe that there should be investment in our public services, investment in our nhs, and we need to get away from this race to the bottom on austerity that exists in westminster. the liberal democrat leader, sir ed davey, is ending his campaign as it began — with stunts that make a splash — so he gets the chance to talk about what his party's mps would argue for if more of them are returned to parliament. that would be a fair deal on the nhs and care. it would be a fair deal on cost of living, it'll be a fair deal on the environment and many other issues. so that manifesto, if people vote liberal democrat, will be our marching orders to deal with any government and any bill and any policy that comes forward. at a reform uk rally in birmingham, its leader, nigel farage, batted away concerns about what he described as a "few bad apples" in and around his party. he thinks the election result is already decided, and insists reform will have a role to play. for democracy to function, -

there has to be a concerted voice of opposition, challenge. the conservatives can't do that. because they'll be in opposition, but not the opposition, - because they're so divided. but also the point about reform uk is it's not just about a voice - in parliament, it's a voice in the country. _ the time for party pitches nearly over, as the moment to decide approaches. let's get a little bit more detail on this. with me is political correspondent susan hume. just talk us through what is happening today with reform uk. we happening today with reform uk. - saw the razzmatazz at that rally but afterwards, not long afterwards we had this candidate an arrow wash who said he was no longer going to stand for reform uk, his name is liam booth isherwood, he said he was no longer going to vote reform uk but

would back the conservative. it is said he would be backing the conservative because of his concerns about sexism and racism that has beenin about sexism and racism that has been in the party, he says. he alleges, and he says that leadership hasn't addressed properly, even though we heard nigel farage saying that it's just a few bad apples and he's gotten rid of it, he's not convinced of that. we then had the chair richard tice come out saying he believes the conservatives in a number of constituencies are trying to persuade these reform candidates to persuade these reform candidates to stand down and bad—mouth the party. he's calling it a stitch up and talking about some darker to play, so questionable business, may be. and we have a full list of

candidates on the bbc news website. you will have seen that exciting final moments of the england match and rishi sunak had tweeted a picture, of course, you know, all party leaders in an election campaign want to be associated with success. with our rishi sunak tweeting a picture of him watching with the message it's not over until it's over. so i think that's going to be kind of his message, that people shouldn't write them off. now, i saw some very interesting information from hugo, from the pulling company. —— you go. —— yougov. people haven't decided how they're going to vote, we are going to see all of the parties go hell for leather. if you would press them a bit harder on whether or not they

were going to come as somebody they really backed, about half of them still said no, actually, there is nobody that we are entirely convinced by at the moment. so there is a lot still to play for. you saw pat mcfadden earlier today, the labour party campaign's director, very much trying to get out the message that nothing is decided yet, most people have not voted, there've been a few postal votes but most of us haven't voted yet. we'll be very worried as well at the idea that people will think this is in any way a done deal, so you have the conservatives, all those parties trying to get the last few votes, labour still trying to damp down any idea that this is a done deal, last few days we'll see all of the parties hammering home those core messages because while people like you and i have been living this day in and day out for the last few weeks, most people's had other things on their minds, other things to do, and it's really in those last few days that a lot of people start

really paying attention.— really paying attention. susan, thank you _ really paying attention. susan, thank you so — really paying attention. susan, thank you so much. _ really paying attention. susan, thank you so much. our- really paying attention. susan, i thank you so much. our political correspondent, thank you, yes. so, with only days until the general election, the bbc is visiting communities across the country to find out what people are most concerned about. the coastal towns of dover and deal are often at the centre of conversations about immigration — but that's not the only issue on voters' minds, as charlotte wright reports. it's the gateway to britain, so often at the centre of the story, whether it's the arrival of small boats or delays at the port. but while there is much talk about this town, we've come to hear from those who live, work and play here. at this boxing gym, the cost of living is having a big impact. the prices have gone up, and the wages people are getting paid ain't really changed, so, yeah, it'sjust hard. it's hard for everyone, really. housing is an issue, you know? i think people are really struggling. do you notice, people that

come here, do they talk to you about it as well? yeah, even most of the kids can't afford it and stuff like that because of everything that's going on. but most of the time... we're a charitable—based boxing club — we do let quite a lot of the kids come for free, if they can't afford it, because i'd rather them be here than sat on the computer. but when it comes to what those running for office can do to help, we find a strong sense of disillusionment. i used to really be into politics, but since covid, i completely shut off from it. they tell you what you want to hear and then when they get in, they do what they're going to do anyway. but i just feel like they're so disconnected from, like, the working people. a major source of employment in the town is the port, but it brings its challenges, too. any delays at border controls and there are queues for miles, causing traffic gridlock in the area, leaving businesses like this mobility shop immobile. they say politicians need to find a better solution. we've had occasions where we can't even get to work ourselves, so we cannot open, and if we can get here and we do open, we sit all day, just no custom because outside it's completely gridlocked.

we've had customers phone us up who've had issues and, you know, got a puncture or, you know, their batteries have failed and they need our help and we can't get to them. well, a very good afternoonj and welcome to deal radio. at lunchtime we head along the coast. although deal and dover are only around eight miles apart, the two towns have a very different feel. at the community radio station, they tell us the demographic here has changed as a growing number of people have moved in from london. because the value of the properties have increased quite extraordinarily, really, it means that younger people on ordinary wages can't get a foothold into the marketplace. and so i would say that affordable housing is one of the key issues. and would you like to see more built around here? yeah, iwould, yeah. what are the big issues here in deal? transport. i mean, i'm lucky i drive, but friends, they live in a street where there's lots of elderly people and the bus route has gone.

so it's quite difficult, you know, to get backwards and forwards. but other than that, deal is beautiful. our was, — i really want them to support it. are you worried about kind of investment in the public sector and the amount of money that's going into it? absolutely, it's not enough. and would you be happy to pay more for that? would you be happy to pay higher taxes? i probably would do, yes, absolutely. - by the evening, we're back in dover. in a town where most of the small boat arrivals are processed, it's perhaps not surprising that it's a topic of conversation at the working men's club. the one that pops to mind mostly is immigration, to be honest with you, the amount that's turning up on our beaches. a lot of people disagree, but they get a lot of hand—outs when they do get here. and i myself have been through hard times and i struggle to get anything. and it kind of frustrates me that, you know, people can come over here and they get help handed to them on a plate. but not everyone here agrees. i think a lot of people have got the wrong idea of what's

going on with these immigrants. these people didn't ask to be born in the country that they were born in. they didn't ask to be in afghanistan, where girls and women haven't got any kind of life. i've got every sympathy for that kind of person. what people think in this constituency does matter to politicians, as for years, how they vote here has reflected the national result. so next week, all eyes will be on dover as a key election battleground. charlotte wright, bbc news, dover. and you can find a full list of candidates standing on the bbc news website. the bbc has seen and heard evidence that israeli troops in the occupied west bank carried injured palestinian men on the bonnet of a military jeep at least three times during an operation injenin earlier this month. it follows a video that emerged last week showing one of the men, mujahid abadi balas, being driven on the front

of the car, sparking international concern. the bbc has now spoken to two more people who say the same thing happened to them, as our middle east correspondnt lucy williamson reports from jenin. his interaction with the israeli army is shown all over his body — injuries where he was forced onto an armyjeep. they told me not to hold on. i was saying my final prayers, he says. i didn't expect to survive. the video of his journey caused international outrage. but he was not the only one. samir, shot in the back, was unable to stand, but he was stripped of his trousers and thrown on a jeep. this video appears to show him have negative energy.

this video appears to show him half naked. both were shot in this area ofjenin as israeli forces came to arrest a wanted man. the walls still marked by sniper fire. they said that he too was shot and put on the same jeep below in the olive grove. translation: i try to put my hand on the jeep. - i couldn't. it was burning hot. but they forced me, i should get on it if i didn't want to die. all three men were quickly released by the army. is rarely army says that these cases defy the standard. they are under review. jenin has been a focal point since the october seven army started. since then and 120 palestinians have

been killed there. but armed men still patrol the camp and the battle has not subsided. translation: what the israeli army doesn't know is that the resistance i is an idea rented in the heart and will not stop. if a palestinian gets killed five more will replace him. is an idea rented in the heart and will not stop. if a palestinian gets killed five more will replace him. during an operation this week, bombs in the road killed one israeli soldier and killed 15 others. soldier and killed 16 others. tactics on both sides are under international review. israeli troops are under scrutiny here, too. this is different territory to gaza, but it's the same war. lucy williamson, bbc news, jenin.

today marks ten years since the islamic state group proclaimed its so—called caliphate in large parts of iraq and syria. also known as i—s, isis, or daesh in arabic, the group no longer controls significant territrory — but its ideology remains. so, ten years on, what is the threat level of i—s today? our security correspondent frank gardner explains. ten yea rs ten years after the islamic state, they are down but not out. they have transferred a lot of their activities away from the middle east to africa, not necessarily in terms of recruiting, you're not seeing the same kind of loveless people flocking to their core activities level of areas in the way that it happened around 2015 when we saw a lot of european volunteers going to fight for ices, that isn't happening in the same way. there are very strong parts of

africa, mozambique and democratic republic of congo, in areas of the saw hell, that's like the burkina faso, lake chad area. —— sahel. most of the attacks in the last several months have taken place there. why is this? they are still active in syria but less so in iraq. so they have lost their physical caliphate that they had. they were defeated physically in 2019 in syria, that's where the last remaining stronghold of isis was wiped out, but the ideology hasn't gone away. it's still attractive to some people. in countries with poor governments, poor borders, where young people see absolutely no hope. it's a force to be reckoned with in afghanistan where they are fighting, believe it or not, the taliban, they hate the taliban. they are active in those

african countries i mentioned, and the threat to europe hasn't gone away. so in terms of counterterrorism, don't forget we've got the olympics coming up in france, this summer. the threat to european cities and european communities is definitely still there, the radicalising effect of nine months plus of war in gaza has certainly helped isis to recruit in some areas. so it's one to watch, and just because we haven't heard from them in europe doesn't mean the threat has gone away.— threat has gone away. frank gardner re -aortin threat has gone away. frank gardner reporting there- _ the glastonbury festival ends tonight, with the american r&b star, scissor, headlining the pyramid stage. katie razzall has the latest. let's dance. let's go girls! glastonbury has been getting ready. as shania twain so memorably sings, to have a little fun. i feel like a woman. and the queen of country didn't

disappoint at her glastonbury debut. and there she is, on stage somewhere way across this sea of pink cowboy hats and leopard print outfits. a true legend in the legends slot here at glastonbury. in a year where female voices have sung out. voices have sung out across the festival. after dua lipa headlined on friday, other women artists have been wowing the glastonbury faithful, including little simz and paloma faith. scissor takes to this stage later, it will be the first time two female acts have ever headlined here. -- sda. that comes as a surprise to another of this year's legends. cyndi lauper says it's part of a wider problem

in the music industry. well, they've always telling us, well, you don't draw. you know, it'sjust like anything else. there's a lot of women in music today. there's a lot of voices. and i think that it's important that you just keep going forward. award winning camila cabello is 27 years old, with four albums and all too aware of the sexism in her business. there's definitely times in hindsight where i've been like, oh, ifeel like i maybe have gotten treated differently in the studio, or maybe my voice hasn't been taken as seriously. out of that hardship comes, you know, these incredible artists like sza, like dua lipa. we put on like incredible shows because we work ten times harder. for more than 25 years, shania twain's held the record for the world's best selling album by a female artist, and she's certainly showcased her pulling power today. katie razzall, bbc news, glastonbury.

just such a catchy tune. thanks for watching bbc news. hello there. it was a little bit cooler today than what we had yesterday for many areas, particularly across the south, and that sets the scene for this upcoming week. we'll continue with low pressure, always fairly close by. it's going to remain quite changeable. the weather, with rain for some, particularly northern and western areas, and it will remain cool for the time of year, with no significant heat or sunshine on the horizon for now. so we're under a ridge of high pressure, which will mostly kill out any of the showers for the first part of tonight. we'll see lengthy clear spells actually develop, but out west, the next weather fronts will be moving in, bringing thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain. northern ireland, and certainly to western scotland. so temperatures double figures here, but under the clear skies we'll see some single digits to begin monday morning. that weather front crosses the country. then during the course of monday, i think most of the rain

will be across central and northern areas. but before the rain arrives, we should see some sunshine in central, southern and eastern parts of the country before skies cloud over and we'll see that rain splashing its way in from the west, barely anything on it. as it reaches the east and southeast of england, bar the odd spit and spot of rain in any brightness. bar the odd spit and spot of rain. in any brightness, we could see up to 21 degrees. otherwise, for most disappointing temperatures for the time of year with all the clouds. so monday, the first day of wimbledon, it looks like it should stay mainly dry on monday. top temperatures 21 degrees. top temperature's 21 degrees. i think a better chance of seeing dry weather, perhaps with more in the way of sunny spells, for tuesday. so for monday night, we see that rain clear away from the east of the country, again clearer skies under that ridge of high pressure with temperatures dipping into single digits where we have cloud and double figures. but we look to the west to more rain pushing in around this area of high pressure, but generally because it's a ridge of high pressure, it should be a mostly dry day

for most of the country. on tuesday, we'll start off with quite a bit of sunshine around for england and wales, cloud will tend to build up through the afternoon. most of the rain i can mention will be across western scotland, perhaps northern ireland, maybe some spots for northwest england, but the majority of the south of the country should be dry again. these sorts of values are below the seasonal average, 14—21 degrees. but we're looking at the high teens for most places and the outlook for the rest of the working week into the start of the weekend is for remaining mostly unsettled. most of the rain will be across northern and western areas. take care.
