parties make their final pitches to the public on the last full day of general election campaigning. we'll bring you the latest from our teams across the country. two senior conservatives publicly say that they expect to lose the election to labour, with one cabinet secretary predicting the largest labour majority in history. the inquiry into the post office scandal hears evidence from the former chair of the post office. and as part of his wimbledon farewell, andy murray will play with emma raducanu in a super—star mixed doubles partnership. on the eve of the general election, two senior conservatives have publicly said they expect to lose. the work and pensions secretary mel

stride has predicted the largest labour majority in history, while former home secretary suella braverman said simply, �*it�*s over.�* all the parties are making a final appeal for votes before the polls open at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. here's our political correspondent, ione wells. cheering. the day before the last election, this man was on the cusp of getting a huge tory majority. boris, boris! thank you very much. thank you. former prime minister borisjohnson brought in at the 11th hour last night to try to give the current prime minister's campaign a boost. good evening, everyone. the day before this election, the mood in tory quarters couldn't feel more different. i totally accept that where the polls are at the moment means that tomorrow is likely to see the largest labour landslide majority, the largest majority that this country has ever seen. much bigger than 1997, bigger even than the national government in 1931. what therefore matters now is

what kind of opposition do we have? what kind of ability to scrutinise government is there within parliament? cheering. you might think labour would be delighted by this prediction, but there are concerns in the party that it doesn't help them. it's really voter suppression. it's trying to get people to stay at home rather than to go out and vote. i say if you want change, you have to vote for it. i want people to be part of the change. i know there are very close constituencies across the country. i don't take anything for granted. i respect the voters and i know that we have to earn every vote until 10 o'clock tomorrow night and we will do that. it's notjust the tories driving this prediction. the race is turning now to who will make the strongest opposition. yes, that is the liberal democrat leader, ed davey, at the wheel. when i think about the next parliament, it's really clear that a united liberal democrats with a strong message on fair deal are ones who could hold whoever�*s in power to account. the conservatives can't.

there'd be a failed government. there'd be a failed opposition. they're too divided to hold the next government to account. and, north of the border, the message is the same. the tories are out of the game. they've lost the election south of the border. in scotland, for voters, if they want to stop austerity, stop a labour government imposing more austerity in scotland, they want to protect the scottish interest and make sure we've got a future that's made in scotland for scotland, they've got to vote snp. the green party says it hopes to win at least four mps to push a labour government to be bolder and braver in delivering real change. reform uk's leader nigel farage says his party can be the real opposition to hold keir starmer to account on immigration. get rid of the tories. yeah. plaid cymru say the tories are finished, but wales could not afford to be sidelined by a labour government. we've had a lot of predictions from parties out and about today, and it is extraordinary that the day before the election, parties are not

debating policy but polls. but remember, what really matters is not the polls, it's not the predictions, it's how people actually vote. and the majority of people will be doing that tomorrow. it is only on friday that we will know how many mps each party is going to be sending here to parliament, and who will form the next government. ione wells, bbc news in westminster. sir keir starmer is visiting england, scotland and wales on the final day of campaigning. our political correspondent, jessica parker, has been travelling with the labour leader and his campaign team. sir keir starmer is doing a dash around three nations today — wales, scotland and england. and he's continuing to visit seats that labour did not win at the last general election. it's a sign of that growing confidence within the labour campaign, as we hurtle towards polling day. now on these comments from conservatives that the country

could be heading for a massive labour majority, ironically, it's labour that's really keen to play that down — sir keir starmer telling me earlier that he thought those comments amount to voter suppression because of course labour don't want people to think that this is a done deal and then not bother voting for them. hence why you keep hearing this slogan of, "if you want change, you've got to vote for it". you keep hearing that from sir keir starmer. now, of course, the challenges facing any incoming government are enormous, and the labour campaign has been criticised for being too cautious, even in some areas ambiguous about what it might do in government. but speaking to activists, the mood is certainly one that is upbeat. when sir keir starmer arrived in front of a room of supporters earlier, the applause was loud and it was long. people within the labour campaign feel they could be on the cusp of being in power for the first time in 11; years. let's speak to our correspondent nick eardley who's on covering

the conservative campaign. just give me your assessment of the mood with the conservative team. it mood with the conservative team. it is not great is the honest answer. we have heard senior tories, people like mel stride, close allies of rishi sunak, effectively conceded they are not going to wind and that labour are going to form the next government. privately a lot of conservatives have been saying the same thing since the campaign started. the mood feels different around rishi sunak. i was at the start of the campaign with him when we dotted around different parts of the uk, any trying to get on the front foot moment for him. now the message at the end of this campaign from the prime minister is a vote for us if you don't want labour to have something majority, to do whatever they want. it is also interesting that the prime minister

is spending the last hours of the campaign in a place like this, in hampshire. you can see some yellow in the background, the lib dems have turned up at this visit at a school in hampshire because they think parts of the country like this are places they could be winning, ed daveyis places they could be winning, ed davey is only half an hour away from where we are at the moment. so it sunak in the final hours of this campaign is facing the prospect of cabinet ministers going on the airwaves and effectively conceding defeat. and parts of the country, where in previous general elections, this has been the sort of area where the conservatives have warm pretty candidly. the conservatives have warm pretty candidl . . ., ., , candidly. thanks for the latest where you _ candidly. thanks for the latest where you are. _ let's speak to our political correspondent, tom symonds, who's on the lib dem campaign bus. the liberal democrats in pretty buoyant mood, ed davey saying

earlier there was no ceiling on their ambition.— earlier there was no ceiling on their ambition. absolutely, no olitician their ambition. absolutely, no politician ever _ their ambition. absolutely, no politician ever really _ their ambition. absolutely, no politician ever really gets - their ambition. absolutely, no politician ever really gets into | politician ever really gets into predicting how many seats they might wind or how well they might do, but the lib dems, because of the way the political situation is at the moment could get a break tour in the favourite tomorrow. —— break—out paul. they have got to take an account the boundary changes where the constituencies are in this country, and they think they will do pretty well if they beat a previous record and get to about 3k seats, but peoples are suggesting they could do better than that, 40, 50, even 70 seats. the lib dems will not talk about what their target is. but if they do do well, the standard chance of pushing the snp into fourth place, which would mean they get some benefits in parliament as a third party, which they haven't been for some time, and really that is

what they are helping to achieve. the leader of the party ed davey is back on the bus and perhaps the tories will be pleased heading out of hampshire. he thinks that would be a form of nirvana for a party that was really battered after the coalition government in which it made decisions alongside the conservative party, decisions like increasing tuition fees for students that were not popular and certainly rebounded on the liberal democrats. a final word on the stunt is road trip, this is the final leg, we are heading for hertfordshire for a stunt. the bus team have kept us in the dark throughout and they are promising it will be an eye—opener. thanks to you. let's cross to our scotland reporter katie hunter, who's covering the snp campaign. your assessment of how things are

going where you are on the last day? the snp leader atjohn swinney like all the other party leaders throwing everything at the campaign trail today on the last full day of campaigning, the battlebus left here about 45 minutes ago, we will catch up about 45 minutes ago, we will catch up with it later on. john swinney�*s message today is the same that he has been focusing on over the last few days, he said in his opinion the election is a done deal in england and labour will wind and sir keir starmer will be the next prime minister but he says it is a different situation in scotland, that the vote is on a knife edge and too close to call between the snp and labour, and what he has been seen consistently through this campaign is if maybury do when the election, it will be more of the same, and he is saying for voters in scotland, in his opinion the need to vote snp to give people a strong voice at westminster.— vote snp to give people a strong

voice at westminster. thanks very much. andrew griffith is the conservative minister for science, research and innovation. hejoins me now. welcome to bbc news. we were just hearing theirjohn swinney was saying it is a done deal and labour will wind the election. you know what mel khan stride said earlier in the morning, a similar thing. is it a done deal?— the morning, a similar thing. is it a done deal? ., ., , ., , ., a done deal? no, a small number of --eole a done deal? no, a small number of peeple have — a done deal? no, a small number of people have voted, _ a done deal? no, a small number of people have voted, those _ a done deal? no, a small number of people have voted, those with - a done deal? no, a small number of people have voted, those with the i people have voted, those with the postal votes, the vast majority of people have not voted not a single vote has been counted. farfrom that. i think what mel was trying to do and the prime minister is doing todayis do and the prime minister is doing today is highlighting the jeopardy of the uk sleepwalking into long—term labour government, a room with no exits, something that a majority of the like of which we have not seen, and which would render almost useless most of the checks and balances in our political

system. that is if the polls are right, but i am not a commentator, i am a participant and a candidate, andi am a participant and a candidate, and i will be out there until polls close tomorrow night making our case for lower taxes, for making sure the security of this country is safe, and that we continue to have a bright positive future for the economy. i bright positive future for the economy-— bright positive future for the econom . . . y ., . bright positive future for the econom . . ., ., economy. i hear what you are saying but it is almost _ economy. i hear what you are saying but it is almost unprecedented. - economy. i hear what you are saying but it is almost unprecedented. can| but it is almost unprecedented. can you remind me of any previous cabinet minister saying the day before the election, they expected the opposing party to wind a historic majority? i the opposing party to wind a historic majority?— the opposing party to wind a historic majority? i cannot, my background — historic majority? i cannot, my background was _ historic majority? i cannot, my background was in _ historic majority? i cannot, my background was in business i historic majority? i cannot, my background was in business so j historic majority? i cannot, my| background was in business so i historic majority? i cannot, my - background was in business so i am not the same political aficionado as some, but to me, the selection is still very much my, it would be absolutely wrong for anybody to try and call this before we have heard from the british electorate, and it is a realjeopardy out there for the

economy, for people plus back taxes and their pensions, and the gust of motoring. it is important people don't treat this as a by—election and think of it as a protest vote, if they vote they are going to be living with this leadership from friday morning potentially for decades to come.— friday morning potentially for decades to come. �* ., ., , decades to come. before i leave this oint and decades to come. before i leave this point and talk _ decades to come. before i leave this point and talk more _ decades to come. before i leave this point and talk more generally, - decades to come. before i leave this point and talk more generally, you l point and talk more generally, you would totally disagree with suella braverman who has written already todayit braverman who has written already today it is over?— today it is over? yeah, i haven't read what _ today it is over? yeah, i haven't read what she _ today it is over? yeah, i haven't read what she has _ today it is over? yeah, i haven't read what she has said - today it is over? yeah, i haven't read what she has said as - today it is over? yeah, i haven't read what she has said as i - today it is over? yeah, i haven'tj read what she has said as i have been out on the doorsteps and the trains stations campaigning this morning, but it is not over, you are right. i disagree with that, no one should take the people for granted and there is a lot to play for and a lot at stake in this election. it is not an easy decision, i understand that for lots of people, but there is a huge amount at stake and if you want to hold a potential labour government to account you have to get out there and use your vote to make sure there is a good conservative opposition if those

polls were right. do conservative opposition if those polls were right.— polls were right. do you think it has been a _ polls were right. do you think it has been a good _ polls were right. do you think it has been a good conservative l has been a good conservative campaign? why do you think the polls have not narrowed with labour significantly? we have not narrowed with labour significantly?— have not narrowed with labour sianificantl ? ~ , ., significantly? we need this going into the election, _ significantly? we need this going into the election, we _ significantly? we need this going into the election, we have - significantly? we need this going into the election, we have been i into the election, we have been through an almost uniquely difficult periods in the history of the uk, a global pandemic which took huge amounts out of the public sector and the public press, and then the impact that has touched every single person's lives of the more in ukraine, that is a difficult context. ukraine, that is a difficult context-— ukraine, that is a difficult context. , ., context. and you accept that within all of that year _ context. and you accept that within all of that year record _ context. and you accept that within all of that year record as _ context. and you accept that within all of that year record as part - context. and you accept that within all of that year record as part of. all of that year record as part of the equation for voters?- all of that year record as part of the equation for voters? voters will look at the record _ the equation for voters? voters will look at the record of _ the equation for voters? voters will look at the record of the _ the equation for voters? voters will. look at the record of the government and what the oppositions have been doing these past 14 years, in terms of preparing its plans. but the decision we make tomorrow as they look forward to decision, it is a decision about what happens and who they want in place to deal with some of the adversity that may be coming our way because of the difficult

geopolitical situation. you our way because of the difficult geopolitical situation.— geopolitical situation. you say that, and geopolitical situation. you say that. and yet _ geopolitical situation. you say that, and yet the _ geopolitical situation. you say l that, and yet the conservatives wheeled out borisjohnson last night on the penultimate day of campaigning. on that return, do you think that was a good move or does it come with major risks? risks to reminding people in the party what you have lost as a raw container, but also that section of the electorate who find boris johnson and everything that was connected to him as toxic? i and everything that was connected to him as toxic?— him as toxic? i think when you are a country facing _ him as toxic? i think when you are a country facing the _ him as toxic? i think when you are a country facing the degree _ him as toxic? i think when you are a country facing the degree of- country facing the degree of jeopardy we are, a real risk of the economy, potential investors fleeing this country, risk to the value of the pound, risk to pensions, people plus outcomes and gust of motoring, you want all good voices and communicators to do their best to articulates that. borisjohnson has

as possible trying to make sure people wake up before it is too late. ., . ~' . people wake up before it is too late. ., ., ,, ., ., , people wake up before it is too late. ., ., ,, ., , ., people wake up before it is too late. ., ., ,, ., ., , ., ., late. you talk about 'eopardy and a final thought h late. you talk about jeopardy and a final thought because _ late. you talk about jeopardy and a final thought because you - late. you talk about jeopardy and a final thought because you talk - late. you talk about jeopardy and a l final thought because you talk about sleepwalking into a supermajority, keir starmer has described all those comments, and now stride in particular as amounting to voter suppression and trying to get people to think it is done, and to stay at home come tomorrow. if to think it is done, and to stay at home come tomorrow.— to think it is done, and to stay at home come tomorrow. if anyone wants to net full home come tomorrow. if anyone wants to get fulljust — home come tomorrow. if anyone wants to get fulljust to _ home come tomorrow. if anyone wants to get fulljust to come _ home come tomorrow. if anyone wants to get fulljust to come out _ home come tomorrow. if anyone wants to get fulljust to come out and - to get fulljust to come out and vote, then they should do what i am doing and get out on the doorsteps and talk to people about their positive agenda, both locally, stopping labour building on the green fields and nationally, the risk to the stability of this country from a labour government. good of you to take time to talk to us on the last day.— the royal mail has responded to concerns over delays to postal votes, insisting there is 'no backlog' in its system and that they are 'confident�* all ballots handed to them on time will be delivered prior to polling day.

but many voters are still without their packs, and wondering whether they'll miss out on having their say. for 21—year—old alice graham, this should have been a first chance to vote in a general election. she registered for a postal vote, but this is her dilemma with a day to go. i applied for a postal vote 21 days ago, and it hasjust never arrived. i filled out the forms when i was in edinburgh asking for my postal vote to be sent to brighton, because i'm here over the summerfor an internship, and they approved it, the address is correct — i've checked. and it has just never arrived down in brighton. so i called the council, and they said i have two options, they said i can either go up to edinburgh and pick up my postal voting pack, or i can vote in person in edinburgh. but it is just completely unfeasible, it would cost me £100 for a return to edinburgh, and it is a day i'm meant to be working. so there is absolutely no way i can get up there to vote, and i think they should be doing something else about it, because i have no choice but not to vote tomorrow.

now i'm just completely powerless, and itjust feels awful because i feel like everyone really deserves the right to vote. a really interesting first hand account. let's bring in the electoral commission's head of policy, tom hawthorn. welcome to the programme, you heard that first hand account. give me an idea of what you think the scale of the problem with postal votes is likely to be. we the problem with postal votes is likely to be— the problem with postal votes is likely to be. we do not know the exact numbers _ likely to be. we do not know the exact numbers at _ likely to be. we do not know the exact numbers at this _ likely to be. we do not know the exact numbers at this stage, - likely to be. we do not know the j exact numbers at this stage, but what we do know is election sateen and the royal mail have been working hard to get votes out to people. 10,000 postal votes delivered just last weekend. we know millions of people have sent their postal votes back, so they will get their votes counted tomorrow. just back, so they will get their votes counted tomorrow.— back, so they will get their votes counted tomorrow. just for advising eo - le counted tomorrow. just for advising people who — counted tomorrow. just for advising people who might _

have applied for it. vote you will not be able to vote in person at the polling station tomorrow, but you can apply for a replacement. ballot pack from your local council up until five o'clock tomorrow evening, so you need to get in touch with the council directly and if you go onto our website, you can fit in the post cloud and find out all the contact details you need. you will have to go to the local council office and provide some id to prove who you are. i provide some id to prove who you are. ~ ., , ., provide some id to prove who you are. ~ ., i. ., provide some id to prove who you are. ~ ., ., ., ., ., ., are. i know you have got a lot of useful information _ are. i know you have got a lot of useful information on _ are. i know you have got a lot of useful information on this - are. i know you have got a lot of useful information on this topicl are. i know you have got a lot of l useful information on this topic on your website, so anyone still trying to find out more information i would point them to that. let's get back to basics in terms of turning up to vote, a reminder that people will need a photo id. are there any circumstances that that is not the case? ., ., _., , circumstances that that is not the case? ., ., , ., ., case? no, anybody going to the ollin: case? no, anybody going to the polling station _ case? no, anybody going to the polling station tomorrow - case? no, anybody going to the polling station tomorrow will. case? no, anybody going to the i polling station tomorrow will need to show id, and for lots of us, that will be the first time this is a requirement. the good news is we know the vast majority of people

among the people we've been speaking to during this long election campaign is the bbc asian network presenter pria rai. she's been telling us about the issues her listeners say they care about the most. remind us what those issues are and along these 5—6 weeks, has changed at all? along these 5-6 weeks, has changed at all? , ., ., along these 5-6 weeks, has changed at all? ,., ., ., ., ., along these 5-6 weeks, has changed at all? _, ., ., ., ., , ., at all? good afternoon, in short know but i _ at all? good afternoon, in short know but i feel _ at all? good afternoon, in short know but i feel like _ at all? good afternoon, in short know but i feel like the - at all? good afternoon, in short know but i feel like the depth i at all? good afternoon, in short| know but i feel like the depth of conversation around some of those keyissues conversation around some of those key issues have been interesting. some of them, as for lots of people across the uk, the gust of living is really prominent, housing, being able to rent or buy a house is a key issue, and the gust of going to university has been something that has been repeated to me, and for british asian voters and some groups in particular, the more in gaza has also cropped up as a talking point, something they want to know what

parties are saying, their approach to that is. but it is not cutting through the conflict in the middle east in ways that may have been anticipated through campaigning, those domestic issues are pressing for people, and weather they are feeling they are getting the answers to some of those questions is perhaps another question, but those domestic issues, stuff that is affecting people plus my everyday life and having their voices heard, as a british asian community, has been one of the re—occurring conversations that we have been having on the show. we conversations that we have been having on the show.— conversations that we have been having on the show. i've been able to net a having on the show. i've been able to get a sense _ having on the show. i've been able to get a sense for _ having on the show. i've been able to get a sense for the _ having on the show. i've been able to get a sense for the people - having on the show. i've been able to get a sense for the people you i to get a sense for the people you have spoken to, how they see an election like this, is there apathy? cynicism? excitement? if you look at the people we have been talking to, we have been in communities across the uk over the last few weeks. some of these places _ the uk over the last few weeks. some of these places are _ the uk over the last few weeks. some of these places are places _ the uk over the last few weeks. some of these places are places that - the uk over the last few weeks. ”he of these places are places that have got strong and prominent british

asian communities, but they also traditionally have a lower voter turnout, and we also know that some of our british asian communities, in particular pakistani and bangladeshi communities, are among some of the youngest in the uk. if you take that demographic and told that in your mind, and you look at the ways in which they feel they have been engaged with, there is a want for more information on some of that is because they are not always feeling like that information is coming to them, so some are seeking it out for themselves in various different ways, and we are on election eve. today people have been saying to us, we will now as the voting date gets closer go out and seek that information on the issues that matter most to us. the reason i tell you that the age group as well of some of our communities and audiences and the listeners of the show, it is because that is something that isn't being felt, how young people generally are feeling like they are not necessarily being

spoken directly to. i want to introduce you to somebody who is a first—time voter, she is in her third year at university and we asked her on this point, we asked her her what message would be to the next prime minister. it her her what message would be to the next prime minister.— next prime minister. it would be to sit u- and next prime minister. it would be to sit up and listen _ next prime minister. it would be to sit up and listen to _ next prime minister. it would be to sit up and listen to the _ next prime minister. it would be to sit up and listen to the youth - next prime minister. it would be to sit up and listen to the youth vote, | sit up and listen to the youth vote, we matter. — sit up and listen to the youth vote, we matter, we do not come out in strong _ we matter, we do not come out in strong voter— we matter, we do not come out in strong voter numbers, there is a reason _ strong voter numbers, there is a reason for— strong voter numbers, there is a reason for that. there is a lot of us, despite _ reason for that. there is a lot of us, despite the fact we are becoming increasingly politically engaged and aware _ increasingly politically engaged and aware of _ increasingly politically engaged and aware of the context we sit in and the importance of our vote, we do not feel_ the importance of our vote, we do not feel like — the importance of our vote, we do not feel like any major party often speaks _ not feel like any major party often speaks to— not feel like any major party often speaks to us. at the end of the day we at _ speaks to us. at the end of the day we at the _ speaks to us. at the end of the day we at the people making up the workforce, we are going to be the leaders _ workforce, we are going to be the leaders of— workforce, we are going to be the leaders of tomorrow and probably sitting _ leaders of tomorrow and probably sitting in— leaders of tomorrow and probably sitting in the seats that mps are currently — sitting in the seats that mps are currently filling at some point in the future. currently filling at some point in the future-— the future. when you are asking about how _ the future. when you are asking about how campaigning - the future. when you are asking about how campaigning is - the future. when you are askingl about how campaigning is cutting three or is a sense of apathy, she

is wanting to be engaged and is looking for the information, but even then there is a sense of feeling, like the importance of her vote is being forgotten. as i wonder to why that might be, i think apathy does come into it, and i think part of that comes down to people saying to us they feel there is a lack of representation and notjust people who might look like them, but also people who are feeling like they represent the places that these people have come from, the issues that really matter to them and understanding why their vote matters. and apathy is notjust about people wanting to vote, it is about people wanting to vote, it is about not knowing what to do with their vote or understanding what is most representative of reflective of their needs when they come to voting. another reason, and aisha talks about this as well, is you are talking about track record. trust in

politicians has been a re—occurring theme, trying to hold politicians to things they know they have said before or a scene in headlines before, something else ayesha mentioned because of what she says she is seen over the past few years. hearing a constant barrage of stories— hearing a constant barrage of stories in— hearing a constant barrage of stories in the area and families of times— stories in the area and families of times politicians have lied to, or haven't— times politicians have lied to, or haven't stood up to promises they have _ haven't stood up to promises they have made. i have grown up through brekit's— have made. i have grown up through brexit's and — have made. i have grown up through brexit's and 38 and numerous i don't have any— brexit's and 38 and numerous i don't have any visibility of a track record _ have any visibility of a track record of— have any visibility of a track record of politicians being honest. —— | record of politicians being honest. -- i have — record of politicians being honest. —— i have grown up through numerous scandals _ —— i have grown up through numerous scandals 00— -- i have grown up through numerous scandals. ~ ., -- i have grown up through numerous scandals. ., ., ., -- i have grown up through numerous scandals. ~ ., ., , scandals. do we know how they will vote? speaking _ scandals. do we know how they will vote? speaking colloquially, - scandals. do we know how they will vote? speaking colloquially, i- scandals. do we know how they will vote? speaking colloquially, i have| vote? speaking colloquially, i have noticed a shift, _ vote? speaking colloquially, i have noticed a shift, and _ vote? speaking colloquially, i have noticed a shift, and i _ vote? speaking colloquially, i have noticed a shift, and i think - vote? speaking colloquially, i have noticed a shift, and i think part - vote? speaking colloquially, i have noticed a shift, and i think part of. noticed a shift, and i think part of that comes because people feel they are getting the information from

other places, the timeline full of information and be pushing their opinions on there, i think it may be speaks to a broader lack in trust generally. and not always feeling like if i tell you what i think, is my voice really being listened to? what i would say is people have been really willing to talk partly to asian network as a programme that doesn't specifically reflect and represent and talk about issues that matter to the british asian community, but i also think people have been willing and wanting to talk about the issues that mattered the most to them, perhaps more than the most to them, perhaps more than the politics or talking about them being engaged with you are saying what or promising what, the people wanting to have their voice heard on the gust of living, the price of housing or being able to get on the housing or being able to get on the housing ladder has cut three. shall housing ladder has cut three. all really interesting, thank you for taking us through all of that.

now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. if you are wondering where summer has gone, you are not the only one. the next few days temperatures will stay below average for most parts of the country and that means the weather continues to be cool for the rest of this weekend into the weekend, and it is all down to the jet stream position which is running over the uk, we have got these troughs in the jet stream which will develop areas of low pressure and it brings notjust cool air but showers are longer spells of rain. through the rest of the afternoon the wettest weather is going across scotland and the cloud further south across england and wales are thick enough to give us the odd spot of rain and brighter weather pushing into northern ireland, but it could be one or two passing showers. for the most part temperatures are few degrees below average for this time of year and the forecast for wimbledon, cloud could be thick enough to give a nod passing spit of

rain but tomorrow much better with some sunshine. a little bit less cool as well. during this evening and overnight, cloud should clear away from england and we will have simply response working in later in the night but showers never far away in scotland and northern ireland and will continue to be quite windy for western scotland, temperatures overnight dipping down into single figures, some will be giving article started the day, another day with a pressure in charge, and closest to the centre of the low pressure in scotland is here where we are looking at some showers merging together to give some longer spells of rain for the highlands and hebrides, and it will be quite blustery and that will add to a coolness to the weather. further southwards, showers few and far between, the weather should be largely dry, and given more sunshine to push into the low 20s which will feel ok if you are out and about. friday and into the weekend another area of the pressure is set to develop over the top of the country,

the first signs of that low pressure on friday will be bringing veining across southern areas of england and wales, a bit of uncertainty about the position of the rain but it could end up going further northwards, probably the brightest weather this time for scotland and northern ireland butjust continue to be a little bit disappointing for the early stages ofjuly. a month which is meant to be of course summer. looking at the longer range outlook, it stays put unsettled and generally on the cool side. this is bbc news. the headlines... parties make their final pitches to the public on the last full day of general election campaigning. we will be out with our teams right across the country. a conservative cabinet minister tells the bbc he accepts that polls point to a massive labour majority.

jamaica braces for life—threatening winds and torrential rains as hurricane beryl approaches. welcome back to our election coverage. let's get back to hearing from all the parties. we heard from the lib dems, labour and the conservatives and the snp. green party co—leader carla denyer has been out on the final day of campaigning and says the greens are the party to hold a potential labour government to account. the level of support has been phenomenal. i've been stopped in the street repeatedly by people asking for a selfie, or even for a hug, and the fact that often these people have been those on lower incomes who are struggling in the cost—of—living crisis, i think is a real testament that the green party are the only

party offering the level of change, the level of investment that's needed in our public services. the green party is offering real hope in this campaign, hope that a small group of green mps can bring by pulling the incoming labour government in the right direction, whether that's on climate, whether that's on tackling the cost—of—living crisis or the housing crisis. fairness has always been at the absolute core of green party policy. our approach is that the inequalities in our society and climate change and environmental degradation are two sides of the same coin. some of the causes are the same and many of the solutions are the same. so viewers will have, i'm sure, seen me many times talking about one of ourflagship policies — a nationwide home insulation programme — because that helps to bring down people's bills, it brings down their carbon emissions and it gives them warmer, more comfortable homes where they can be healthier. and then that in turn reduces costs on the nhs. so policies like this — green policies — are a win—win—win. and we think that's why so many people are excited to vote green this time around.

i think the parties that have rolled back on their climate commitments will see the results of that in this election. when sunak rolled back on some of his environmental commitments a while ago, including the speed of roll—out of electric vehicles, i assume he did that because he thought he was going to get a polling bounce out of it. but in fact, the conservatives got a poll bounce of precisely 0%. what's more, he got a big negative response from even the automotive industry themselves who had already planned their businesses on the basis of the original electric vehicle rollout and decarbonisation schedule. so, the businesses want politicians to go faster on tackling climate change, the voters want politicians to go faster on tackling climate change. so this thursday, the 4th ofjuly, if you want green policies, you can vote for the green party. we're standing our largest slate of parliamentary candidates all over england and wales, and you can get more greens elected to hold the incoming labour government to account.

the inquiry and joins me now. just take us through some of the evidence that has been heard today. so much testimony throughout this public inquiry. it has highlighted moments that could have changed the trajectory of this scandal. today, we heard of another one. in 2015, a bbc panorama helped expose the scandal and commissioned parker to look into a review of the problems with the horizon system. it was called the swift review, and it looked into why and how fujitsu employees tampered with branch accounts remotely. it warned of potential miscarriages ofjustice. yet the full board was not shown at this review, this report, nor did the high court see it amidst that epic legal battle between the post office and a sub—postmasters, that

of course by sir alan bates. take a listen to sir tim parker expelling that decision. iii listen to sir tim parker expelling that decision.— that decision. if you are a board member. _ that decision. if you are a board member. a _ that decision. if you are a board member, a chair— that decision. if you are a board member, a chair or _ that decision. if you are a board member, a chair or chief - that decision. if you are a board - member, a chair or chief executive, to what— member, a chair or chief executive, to what extent are you entitled to assume _ to what extent are you entitled to assume that your advice is coming from _ assume that your advice is coming from people who are first of all qualified — from people who are first of all qualified and are secondly competent? did i feel that this advice — competent? did i feel that this advice would somehow be potentially tainted? _ advice would somehow be potentially tainted? i_ advice would somehow be potentially tainted? i don't think i did feel that tainted? idon't think i did feel that at— tainted? i don't think i did feel that at the time, if i'm honest. tim parker said — that at the time, if i'm honest. tim parker said that _ that at the time, if i'm honest. t “n parker said that advice came from the post office's top lawyerjane mcleod, someone at the inquiry would love to hear from, mcleod, someone at the inquiry would love to hearfrom, there is only mcleod, someone at the inquiry would love to hear from, there is only one snag in that, she is refusing to appear, living abroad. so the public inquiry is relying on her written statement. just to give you a sense of how important the swift review was, the difference it could have

made, tim parker acknowledged today that had the full board seen it, it could have had an impact on how it led, how it proceeded with that high court battle. instead, it fought the postmasters, the supposed matters hard and then lost that battle to the tune of £100 million. iliai’e’ilil hard and then lost that battle to the tune of £100 million. we'll be back to you _ the tune of £100 million. we'll be back to you a _ the tune of £100 million. we'll be back to you a little _ the tune of £100 million. we'll be back to you a little bit _ the tune of £100 million. we'll be back to you a little bit later. - back to you a little bit later. thanks very much for the assessment up thanks very much for the assessment up to now. let's return to wimbledon. it's day three of wimbledon, and following yesterday's big news that andy murray is withdrawing from the singles, he has now announced he will play with emma radacanu in the mixed doubles later in the tournament. well, what a pairing! yes, it lifted all our souls _ well, what a pairing! yes, it lifted all our souls here, _ well, what a pairing! yes, it lifted all our souls here, socially - well, what a pairing! yes, it lifted all our souls here, socially when i all our souls here, socially when the rain was pouring this morning. the sun is out now and there will be more andy murray at these championships, not at the singles, we spoke about that yesterday,

warned to stock up on food and water and stay indoors, as hurricane beryl bears down on the island. with winds of up to 150 miles per hour, the hurricane has claimed at least seven lives as it moves through the caribbean. thomas magill reports. union island, just off saint vincent and the grenadines, is the latest part of the caribbean to feel the full force of hurricane beryl, with 90% of its homes either destroyed or damaged. in grenada, it's a similar story, where power lines are down and roofs have been ripped off buildings by the hurricane's deadly force. its prime minister has been assessing the devastation and says the island of carriacou has been very badly affected. it is almost armageddon—like, almost total damage or destruction of all buildings, whether they be public buildings, homes or other private facilities. there is literally no vegetation left anywhere on the island of carriacou. hurricane beryl now

threatens jamaica, as a... next in its path is jamaica, where people are being urged to stock up on food, water and candles. beryl is rapidly moving northeast across the atlantic, its power and size visible from space. and this is how it looks in the dominican republic, where high tides, heavy rain and strong winds of more than 240 kilometres per hour have been relentlessly battering its coastline. as some communities across the region start to assess the damage and devastation, others injamaica and mexico are preparing to batten down the hatches, hoping this category four hurricane will begin to weaken in the coming hours. thomas magill, bbc news. police in the indian state of uttar pradesh are investigating the cause of a crush that killed more than 100 people.

—— at least 121 people. the accident happened as a crowd of thousands was trying to leave a hindu prayer meeting in the northern district of haatruss. the police chief said action would be taken against anyone found to be responsible for the crush. most of those killed were women or children. our world service south asia editor anbarasan ethirajan sent this report from the site of the stampede. i am at the scene where this incident took place about 24 hours ago. just behind me is the tent where tens of thousands of people had gathered and the self—styled guru, he was addressing his followers here. now, this is a farmland. and then across this farmland there is a highway and then another farmland on the other side of the highway. when the guru was leaving in his car, then all these people were following him to get a better glimpse. and they want to take some kind of soil underneath the tyres of his vehicle as a kind of blessing. so many, mostly women, were rushing behind this car, so they started following him. and then that's when this crush happened, in which dozens of people

were unfortunately killed. and we were in hospitals early this morning, last evening, where people are still looking for their relatives. and a young man who lost his wife was crying inconsolably, saying, "now who will take care of our two young children?" now, police have launched an investigation and they want to speak to the organisers of this event here and also the self—styled guru, to find out what exactly happened, because they were given permission only for up to 80,000 people. but now locals here say there were more people than the permission was given. so the community here still in shock, and there are many people who are waiting outside trying to get information about their loved ones who came for the meeting. and is there any talk, again, of putting safety measures in place at events like this to stop things like this happening again? that has been the talk

here on social media as well as the television and the newspapers — questioning the authorities here in this state about how they can improve crowd control, crowd management, why there has always been lax safety standards. hundreds of people have been killed in different events in the last 20 years here in india. you know, there were lots of religious gatherings, political gatherings, and people congregate, you know, in thousands or in tens of thousands. india is a populated country — more than 1.4 billion people. so people easily gather in thousands for meetings like this. so there has to be a standard set of procedure when you have a huge crowd. but this one, particularly, its an open ground. it's still a surprise for many people how this was allowed to happen. and so many questions for the authorities. and that's why they say, "we will come out with a report in the next 24 hours." talking to lucy hockings a little earlier here on the bbc.

gasp equaliser and harry kane then providing the winner in extra time, so england scrambling through. they haven�*t been playing well in their last three matches, but was that a corner turn? last three matches, but was that a cornerturn? i�*m last three matches, but was that a corner turn? i�*m sure that will be one of the questions, and of course tactics. that has dominated what journalists have been talking about. has gareth southgate got the right tactics and line—up with this incredibly gifted squad which he has? the scene is set, the journalist that having a quick game of darts. i suspect they are not that close to but a news conference starting. when it does start, we will be back in germany live and have the very latest. let�*s catch up on the weather, as promised. hello. well, if you�*re wondering where summer�*s gone, you�*re not the only one. the next few days, temperatures are going to stay at or below average across most parts of the country.

and that means the weather continues to be cool through the rest of this week and indeed into the weekend. and really, it�*s all down to the jet stream position, which is running more or less over the uk. we�*ve got these troughs in the jet stream which will develop areas of low pressure. they in turn bringing us notjust cool air, but also showers or some longer spells of rain. now, through the rest of the afternoon, the wettest weather is going across scotland, but the cloud further south across england and wales, thick enough to give us an odd spit of rain. brighter weather pushing into northern ireland for a time, but again, there could be 1 or 2 passing showers here for the most part, temperatures a few degrees below average for this time of the year, and for the forecast for wimbledon, cloud could be thick enough to give an odd passing spit of rain today. tomorrow looks much brighter with some sunshine. it turns just a little bit less cool as well. now, during this evening and overnight, cloud should clear away from england. we�*ll have some clearer spells working in later in the night, but showers never far away. in scotland and northern ireland.

it�*ll continue to be quite windy for western scotland as well, temperatures overnight dipping down into single figures, so that will be giving us a cool start to the day on thursday. another day with low pressure in charge. and closest to the centre of the low pressure in scotland, it�*s here where we�*re looking at some showers, probably merging together to give some longer spells of rain for the highlands and the hebrides as well. it�*ll also be quite blustery, and that will certainly add to a coolness to the weather. further southwards for wales, midlands, east anglia, southern counties of england, showers few and far between. the weather should be largely dry. and given a bit more sunshine, temperatures push into the low 20s, which will feel ok if you�*re out and about. now we end the week friday and into the weekend, another area of low pressure is set to develop pretty much over the top of the country. sorry to cut away from the weather, but the england conference isjust starting. t but the england conference is 'ust startina. ., but the england conference is 'ust startina. ~ , ., but the england conference is 'ust startina. ~ i. , but the england conference is 'ust startina. ~ , ., starting. i felt like you 'ust have to be in starting. i felt like you 'ust have to he in the h starting. i felt like you 'ust have to be in the game, _ starting. i felt like you just have to be in the game, like - starting. i felt like you just have to be in the game, like i- starting. i felt like you just have to be in the game, like i said, i starting. i felt like you just have i to be in the game, like i said, we havea to be in the game, like i said, we have a chance and jude put it in the net. ~ .,, have a chance and jude put it in the net. ~.,, ., ., ., have a chance and jude put it in the

because the reuters news agency is just reporting that the uk's sun newspaper it says the labour leader keir starmer has won the right to take charge, so a significant moment with the sun newspaper saying the labour leader keir starmer has won the right to take charge. of course over the weekend we had the financial times and the sunday times also endorsing labour. let's go to nick eardley, he is travelling with the conservatives. it has been a difficult day already, but another difficult day already, but another difficult piece of news for the campaign team to absorb. it is because the sun has a track record of backing the winner, some debate about whether it backs the winner that looks likely or helps shape the narrative ahead of election day, but certainly a bit of a coup for keir starmer to have the backing. when you read the editorial

they have posted on the website, it is fair to say it is a bit of a guarded endorsement, they do say they still have questions about some of his policies and they think rishi sunak has some good policies, but the ultimate conclusion for that newspaper with its big readership has reached is the tories are exhausted and that labour should have a chance to govern because keir starmer changed his party. that is one development in the last few minutes, but the bigger question thatis minutes, but the bigger question that is being asked on the campaign trail with the conservatives today is have they thrown the towel in. we have heard a senior cabinet ministers suggesting that this morning, talking about a significant labour majority after the election, talking about voting tory to ensure a strong opposition. we have been asking rishi sunak about that in a press huddle, which is where a lot ofjournalists get press huddle, which is where a lot of journalists get to press huddle, which is where a lot ofjournalists get to asking

questions off—camera on the record and he is insisting he is not throwing in the towel. he will keep fighting until the last minute. he is insisting there is still a lot of undecided voters out there and a lot of wavering voters that could make a big difference but he has also told us whatever happens tomorrow and if the tories to get thumped, some people are predicting, he will take full responsibility. that is pretty interesting because over the last few days he has been talking about the cards he was dealt and some of what came before him, but saying whatever happens tomorrow, rishi sunak will take full responsibility. as we have been hearing, there are plenty of conservatives who think it will be a grim day. i plenty of conservatives who think it will be a grim day.— will be a grim day. i want to take ou back will be a grim day. i want to take you back to _ will be a grim day. i want to take you back to that _ will be a grim day. i want to take you back to that news, _ will be a grim day. i want to take you back to that news, what - will be a grim day. i want to take you back to that news, what the | will be a grim day. i want to take i you back to that news, what the sun has just said, you back to that news, what the sun hasjust said, i want you back to that news, what the sun has just said, i want to show, there it is on the front page. to head to the bbc news website to get the latest on there, and clearly at the

top line. time for a new manager. there are interesting, give me your assessment. these are early minutes after that apparent endorsement, but in terms of sir keir starmer and the relationship with rupert murdoch, what has that been like over the years? it what has that been like over the ears? . . what has that been like over the ears? , ., , ., ., years? it is a strange front page when ou years? it is a strange front page when you look— years? it is a strange front page when you look at _ years? it is a strange front page when you look at it _ years? it is a strange front page when you look at it because - years? it is a strange front page when you look at it because it . when you look at it because it doesn't actually mention labour, you need to get inside and have a look at the editorial before you see any mention of the editorial leader. perhaps inevitably there is a bit of a pun there about the footballing situation when it comes to the england team. there is no doubt that part of keir starmer plus my outreach programme, part of his desire to make his party if it more business friendly has included the media, he has been doing a lot of interviews with newspapers that are

perhaps traditionally not that fond of the labour party. there has been a lot of work going on to try and woo telegraph readers and daily mail readers,... i think when he sees that frontpage he will be pretty chuffed... labourare that frontpage he will be pretty chuffed... labour are more than likely to win the general election tomorrow, the son normally backs winners, and labour this will be another example. this is perhaps the most innovative thing today, it gives the sense that labour have built a bit of a coalition of voters, notjust the traditional heartland that backed the party in the past, but also some parts of the country that have been reluctant to vote labour in the past, it is fascinating to see where he has been over the last few days, in the cotswolds, in oxfordshire and parts

of the country that have normally been tory blue and labour think they have a chance of winning some seats for the very first time. the fact they have the endorsement of a paper like the sun will give them more hope that tomorrow could be a really big moment for the party. let’s hope that tomorrow could be a really big moment for the party.— big moment for the party. let's stay with that repeat _ big moment for the party. let's stay with that repeat that _ big moment for the party. let's stay with that repeat that breaking - big moment for the party. let's stay| with that repeat that breaking news. it has been reported, by the reuters news agency, saying it is time for a news agency, saying it is time for a new manager on the sun front page, heads to the full. —— as the country heads to the full. —— as the country heads to the polls. it isa it is a significant moment. over the weekend we saw the financial times and sunday times

endorse labour, suffer labour that was good news, but the tabloids, the sun newspaper has always boasted about calling the general elections in the lead up days. you will remember going into the last election, what was being said that time, the polar opposite. but this time, the polar opposite. but this time, as we head to the polls, time for a new manager. let's head to the labour campaign bus. that development happening in the last few moments. i know it is very early to get any sort of reaction, but looking at this on the surface, another based on this, the final date for keir starmer. irate another based on this, the final date for keir starmer. we haven't had any reaction _ date for keir starmer. we haven't had any reaction yet, _ date for keir starmer. we haven't had any reaction yet, we - date for keir starmer. we haven't had any reaction yet, we have - date for keir starmer. we haven't| had any reaction yet, we have just landed in scotland having been on a flight with the labour leader, where

it can be pretty hard to get any internet access, so that news coming in fresh to us, but i am sure at the next event we can try and press for some reaction on that breaking news story. and it comes at a moment where when you speak to activists and campaigners they are already feeling pretty energised, pretty excited, yes the public messaging is one of caution for sure, as all the parties try... one of caution for sure, as all the parties try- - -_ parties try... apologies, jess started that _ parties try... apologies, jess started that by _ parties try... apologies, jess started that by saying - parties try... apologies, jess started that by saying they . parties try... apologies, jess l started that by saying theyjust landed and there were signal difficulties and that is how it transpired. the perils of the bus. i am being told the line has just come back, so i will try it once again. we lost you for a moment, why don't you pick up?— you pick up? sorry about that, i don't know— you pick up? sorry about that, i

don't know when _ you pick up? sorry about that, i don't know when you _ you pick up? sorry about that, i don't know when you lost - you pick up? sorry about that, i don't know when you lost the i you pick up? sorry about that, i - don't know when you lost the signal but i was just saying the mood already amongst activists and campaigners is one of excitement, i was in the room earlier today in wales, so we flew up from wales to scotland. incidentally, just to bring you a little tidbit from the campaign, in the same plane that took the england football team over took the england football team over to germany, and keir starmer was sitting in the same seat as the manager gareth southgate, and that is a side note but earlier at this event the mood was on beat. there was a long loud applause for him as he came into the room, there was a feeling from the labour activists that they could be getting close to power. polling day still to come but the mood is high, and they have had a poll lead over this six week campaign and have maintained a significant poll lead, despite

criticism it has been boring. but at the moment the labour camp a feeling pretty happy where they are on the eve of polling day. let pretty happy where they are on the eve of polling day.— pretty happy where they are on the eve of polling day. let me ask you a ruick eve of polling day. let me ask you a quick supplementary _ eve of polling day. let me ask you a quick supplementary question - eve of polling day. let me ask you a i quick supplementary question because listening to harriet harman, the former deputy leader on the day or so ago who was saying all this talk about a neighbour supermajority, in her view, she thought that would be a good thing because it would enable keir starmer to get stuff done. yes. keir starmer to get stuff done. yes, keir starmer to get stuff done. yes, keir starmer — keir starmer to get stuff done. yes, keir starmer is _ keir starmer to get stuff done. yes, keir starmer is really _ keir starmer to get stuff done. is: keir starmer is really reluctant to go into the language of the super majorities, it is ironically something that is being played down by labour, what he has said though as he would like a strong mandate, thatis as he would like a strong mandate, that is hardly a surprising thing for somebody who is standing to be a prime minister effectively, but he certainly isn't being drawn into the language of the supermajority. whoever comes into government, they

are facing enormous challenges, i was at a question and answer with workers at a warehouse yesterday and keir starmer was asked about illegal immigration and small boats crossings, about nhs waiting lists. the labour party point their manifestos and things they have said, and critics would say the answers are not adequate, they would refute that. but there is no debate about the challenges faced in the uk are extremely significant, sol about the challenges faced in the uk are extremely significant, so i am sure he will be hoping for some kind of strong mandate if labour wins this election, but it was interesting when i spoke to him earlier following the comments from mel stride, his view was this was a tory tactic to try and suppress labour votes and to criticise that

as a tactic coming from the conservatives. we are going to keep seeing the focus over the closing hours of approach polling day by the labour party, to try and motivate people to go out and vote for them, because they might view the message coming out of the conservatives and others could lead people to think it is a done deal, and that is exactly what they do not want to, and labour are saying they think there are seats where they could be a few hundred votes, as is often the case in any general election but that is the message they are putting out there. ., , , ., ., ., ., there. you must be on a flat that because the _ there. you must be on a flat that because the line _ there. you must be on a flat that because the line has _ there. you must be on a flat that because the line has been - there. you must be on a flat that because the line has been stable| there. you must be on a flat that i because the line has been stable for the last little while. let's speak to our political correspondent, tom symonds, who's on the lib dem campaign bus. ed davey has been talking about no—caps on the ambition in terms of the members of the lib dems mps, not

necessarily putting a figure on it, but they are keen to make the point that if labour win a majority, the liberal democrats' task is to keep them focused on the nhs and social care with the accusation that the main parties have not been talking enough about those sorts of areas. ed davey has been talking about it every single time, we have interviewed him every time he has given a speech, social care, the nhs and water quality comes up in his rhetoric. he has talked about the importance the liberal democrats will play in opposition to a big labour government majority. he will not say actually that he could be the official opposition, the second party in the uk, even though samples have suggested that as a possibility. they may be outliers. he has talked about being the third party because currently they are the fourth party after the scottish national party, and he said that would bring some benefits under the

rules of the house of commons and my questions on question time. he is saying he thinks the lib dems can get into third place and to give you a bit of an idea of what some of the strategists of the parties have been telling us on the bus this week, the problem the lib dems have had in the past as they have tried to fight election campaigns as though there was a proportional representation system in the uk where the number of votes you get matches up to the number of seats you get as a result, in recent years they have decided to abandon that and instead ruthlessly target seats that they felt they could win. about 90 seats where the liberal democrats are in second place to the conservatives. their hope is though it may not massively increase the share of their vote, it will increase the number of seats they get, just from taking that strategy from part of their playbook. they will not say how many seats they hope to win, but if they currently have eight, which is the

number of you consider boundary changes, and the getty 2&25, that is not such a good night. 30, 40, 50, 60, that is a good night. samples have suggested 70 seats which would leave them any position where they are challenging the conservatives. give me an idea of the geography and miles being done on a day like today because traditionally on this last day, it is pretty frenetic as leaders try to get to all parts the country. the lib dems unveils a pretty mad plan last week, which unfortunately i was signed up to, but it has been an enjoyable experience to travel right up to the northern tip of scotland tojohn 0 groats, and then come through scotland down towards cheltenham in the west of england, then down towards the south coast, eastbourne, back up to oxfordshire and the cotswolds, then right back down to the furthest tip of cornwall where

we were yesterday evening, and now we were yesterday evening, and now we are winging our way through the hand counties —— on counties to london. hand counties -- on counties to london. �* , ., ., , london. all the destinations fit into the strategy _ london. all the destinations fit into the strategy of _ london. all the destinations fit into the strategy of targeting l london. all the destinations fit l into the strategy of targeting the seats where they can dish out the conservatives and take a seat for potentially quite a low percentage of the vote, and so we have seen the stance that ed davey has been doing, which have started to win him the media coverage that is so important for a small party to try and get, but also keeping activists active on the ground by going and seeing them and giving speeches, rousing speeches with those orange diamond placards they have become known for, and getting out the vote will be another issue tomorrow, another big job tomorrow where the party activists go out and find people who say they are going to vote lib dems and make sure they do vote lib dems.

thanks to you for the latest from the campaign trail. more from tom a little later. the time is 3:30pm, welcome to bbc news. let's stay with the general election campaign on this, the last day of a full campaigning. the prime minister pretty soon it has been speaking in the last few minutes on the trail in hampshire. it is worth pointing out before we hear from him, he was speaking before the breaking news that we just brought you that the sun newspaper has said it is now backing sir keir starmer. every vote matters tomorrow. just 130,000 people could change the outcome of this election, that is what the latest analysis shows, so if you want lower taxes, pension is protected and to prevent a labour supermajority, that is to vote conservative tomorrow. that supermajority, that is to vote conservative tomorrow. that is not what our conservative tomorrow. that is not what your party _ conservative tomorrow. that is not what your party is _ conservative tomorrow. that is not what your party is saying, - conservative tomorrow. that is not what your party is saying, your- what your party is saying, your latter— what your party is saying, your latter tactic to scare them. i was -aointin latter tactic to scare them. i was pointing out _ latter tactic to scare them. i was pointing out the _ latter tactic to scare them. i was pointing out the dangers - latter tactic to scare them. i was pointing out the dangers of - latter tactic to scare them. i was pointing out the dangers of a - latter tactic to scare them. inn—3 pointing out the dangers of a labour government with a supermajority with

a blank cheque to do what they want, meaning people's taxes will go up. it means people will pay a tax on their state pension in our country's history, it means we will make no progress on migration, if you don't want those things to happen, if you want those things to happen, if you want your taxes cut, our borders secure on your pension protector, you need to vote conservative to make those things happen and prevent that labour supermajority. last—minute intervention by majority did! boris _ last—minute intervention by majority did! borisjohnson last night, and suella _ did! borisjohnson last night, and suella braverman saying that election— suella braverman saying that election is orally over, they say you have — election is orally over, they say you have been incapable of pulling together— you have been incapable of pulling together as a team. | you have been incapable of pulling together as a team.— together as a team. i appreciate eo - le together as a team. i appreciate people have _ together as a team. i appreciate people have frustrations - together as a team. i appreciate people have frustrations with i together as a team. i appreciate | people have frustrations with our part of course i do. i haven't got everything perfectly right and how it made as much progress in every area as you would have liked, but tomorrow's vote is not a by—election on the past, it is a choice for our country and for every family and the consequence of that choice, and i don't want people's taxes to go a future labour government. i want to protect me from's pensions, because

i think if you have worked all your life, you deserve security in retirement, not pay a retirement tax for the first time in our country's history. and i want to sure that we reduce migration and keep the borders are secure. tomorrow's vote is an important one for the country. i know a lot of people haven't made up i know a lot of people haven't made up their minds, just ask people that i get frustrated with the past, but think about what a labour government would mean for yourfamily. can think about what a labour government would mean for your family. can you afford to pay thousands of pounds of higher tax? afford to pay thousands of pounds of highertax? do afford to pay thousands of pounds of higher tax? do you want to pay tax on your pension for the first time? if the answer is no, vote conservative.— if the answer is no, vote conservative. ., ., , conservative. what are your plans for friday? _ conservative. what are your plans for friday? you _ conservative. what are your plans for friday? you are _ conservative. what are your plans for friday? you are hoping - conservative. what are your plans for friday? you are hoping to - conservative. what are your plans for friday? you are hoping to still| for friday? you are hoping to still be prime — for friday? you are hoping to still be prime minister, but you must have mentally— be prime minister, but you must have mentally prepared for a different outcome — mentally prepared for a different outcome. �* ., ~' mentally prepared for a different outcome. �* ., ~ ., ., outcome. i'm working hard to the last minute _ outcome. i'm working hard to the last minute on _ outcome. i'm working hard to the last minute on this _ outcome. i'm working hard to the last minute on this campaign - outcome. i'm working hard to the last minute on this campaign for| last minute on this campaign for every vote. you have been with me across the country saying that. with was a long day because i believe a lot of people have not made up their mind, that is why i am keen to talk to as many people as possible before the polls close tomorrow to make sure understands everybody understands that choice. if you want

your taxes cut, your pension protector, our borders secure, and you want to prevent that labour supermajority vote conservative. your vote will make a difference. lots of people want to say this is a foregone conclusion, analysis shows thatis foregone conclusion, analysis shows that is not true. your vote can prevent that and cut your tax and protect your pension. so vote conservative.— protect your pension. so vote conservative. ., , ., conservative. are you ready for the blame to be _ conservative. are you ready for the blame to be laid _ conservative. are you ready for the blame to be laid out _ conservative. are you ready for the blame to be laid out your _ conservative. are you ready for the blame to be laid out your door? - blame to be laid out your door? nobody— blame to be laid out your door? nobody gets into politics without being ready for criticism, it comes with the territory. i'm proud of this campaign that it has shed a spotlight on labour pot mac's plan to raise taxes. people know that is what is coming, they will have a blank cheque. i don't want that to happen to people. just when things are now starting to improve, inflation is down, wages are up, the economy is growing up taxes are being cut, all of the progress will being cut, all of the progress will be put at risk of labour were in charge. taxes would go up, people's financial security would be damaged,

i don't want to see that happen sol will keep going until the last second. will keep going untilthe last second. . will keep going untilthe last second. , ,, .,~ ., ,, second. rishi sunak talking in the last little while. _ our scotland reporter katie hunter has been speaking to the snp leader, john swinney. the snp leaderjohn swinney, like all the other party leaders, is throwing everything at the campaign trail today on the last full day of campaigning. the battlebus left here about 45 minutes ago, we will catch up with it later on. john swinney�*s message today is the same that he has been focusing on over the last few days — he said in his opinion the election is a done deal in england and labour will win and sir keir starmer will be the next prime minister. but he says it is a different situation in scotland, that the vote is on a knife edge and too close to call between the snp and labour. and what he has been saying consistently through this campaign is if labour do win the election, it will be more of the same,

and he is saying, for voters in scotland, in his opinion the need is to vote snp to give people a strong voice at westminster. as the parties and politicians finish the race to win your vote, bbc news bait has been trying to finish the race across the uk, speaking to young voters right across the country about the issue. but has the politics reporter finished in inverness? let'sjoin callum leslie. we have been watching this for the last few days. have you actually done it?— actually done it? well, you 'oin us in the it actually done it? well, you 'oin us in the pit lane * actually done it? well, you 'oin us in the pit lane at i actually done it? well, you 'oin us in the pit lane at a i actually done it? well, you 'oin us in the pit lane at a go-kart _ actually done it? well, youjoin us in the pit lane at a go-kart track, | in the pit lane at a go—kart track, because any race does need a finish line. after three weeks, write down in the bottom in newquay in cornwall, up to inverness in the highlands, we have made it. i'm

it's been fascinating listening to those stories from right across the country. thanks to both of you. green party co—leader carla denyer has said the greens are the best party to hold a potential labour government to account. the level of support has been phenomenal. i've been stopped in the street repeatedly by people asking for a selfie, or even for a hug, and the fact that often these people have been those on lower incomes who are struggling in the cost—of—living crisis, i think is a real testament that the green party are the only party offering the level of change, the level of investment that's needed in our public services. the green party is offering real hope in this campaign, hope that a small group of green mps can bring by pulling the incoming labour government in the right direction, whether that's on climate, whether that's on tackling the cost—of—living crisis or the housing crisis. fairness has always been at the absolute core of green party policy. our approach is that the inequalities in our society and climate change and environmental

degradation are two sides of the same coin. some of the causes are the same and many of the solutions are the same. so viewers will have, i'm sure, seen me many times talking about one of ourflagship policies — a nationwide home insulation programme — because that helps to bring down people's bills, it brings down their carbon emissions and it gives them warmer, more comfortable homes where they can be healthier. and then that in turn reduces costs on the nhs. so policies like this — green policies — are a win—win—win. and we think that's why so many people are excited to vote green this time around. i think the parties that have rolled back on their climate commitments will see the results of that in this election. when sunak rolled back on some of his environmental commitments a while ago, including the speed of roll—out of electric vehicles, i assume he did that because he thought he was going to get a polling bounce out of it. but in fact, the conservatives got a poll bounce of precisely 0%. what's more, he got a big negative response from even the automotive industry themselves who had already planned their businesses on the basis of the original

electric vehicle rollout and decarbonisation schedule. so, the businesses want politicians to go faster on tackling climate change, the voters want politicians to go faster on tackling climate change. so this thursday, the 11th ofjuly, if you want green policies, you can vote for the green party. we're standing our largest slate of parliamentary candidates all over england and wales, and you can get more greens elected to hold the incoming labour government to account. carla denyer from the greens. all the very latest on our live page. the breaking news from the last 1015 minutes of the endorsement from the sun newspaper forcer keir starmer. we will have plenty more reaction to that and all the other lines, we will be back with an action team is crisscrossing the country in these last frenetic hours. breaking news

in the last half an hour or so, captain sirtom in the last half an hour or so, captain sir tom more's daughter hannah ingram more and colin have been disqualified from being charity trustees by the charity commission. the family has just released a statement, the ingram more family say they fundamentally disagree with the charity commission's decision to disqualify them following an investigation. the charity commission opened a case into the captain tom foundation after his death in 2021. it came amid concerns about its management and independence from sir tom's family. a statement said "we fundamentally disagree with the fun! we have made the extremely difficult decision not to pursue an appeal. the profound emotional appeal and burden makes such action untenable. we have a fully comp cooperated at

all times. people injamaica have been warned to stock up on food and water and stay indoors, as hurricane beryl bears down on the island. union island, just off saint vincent and the grenadines, is the latest part of the caribbean to feel the full force of hurricane beryl, with 90% of its homes either destroyed or damaged. in grenada, it's a similar story, where power lines are down and roofs have been ripped off buildings by the hurricane's deadly force. its prime minister has been assessing the devastation and says the island of carriacou has been very badly affected. it is almost armageddon—like, almost total damage or destruction of all buildings, whether they be public buildings, homes or other private facilities. there is literally no

vegetation left anywhere on the island of carriacou. hurricane beryl now threatens jamaica, as a... next in its path is jamaica, where people are being urged to stock up on food, water and candles. beryl is rapidly moving northeast across the atlantic, its power and size visible from space. and this is how it looks in the dominican republic, where high tides, heavy rain and strong winds of more than 240 kilometres per hour have been relentlessly battering its coastline. as some communities across the region start to assess the damage and devastation, others injamaica and mexico are preparing to batten down the hatches, hoping this category four hurricane will begin to weaken in the coming hours. thomas magill, bbc news. let's speak to hurricane expert michael lowry from miami—based wplg—tv.

in the record books, and by a wide margin. we are also exporting their to be conditions in the equatorial pacific, relative calling in the pacific, relative calling in the pacific which tends to reduce the wind which can be hostile to hurricane develop and in the atlantic. the combination of those two facts can lead government is to revise their outlook.— revise their outlook. what are you exectin: revise their outlook. what are you expecting when — revise their outlook. what are you expecting when we _ revise their outlook. what are you expecting when we see _ revise their outlook. what are you expecting when we see it - revise their outlook. what are you expecting when we see it hit - expecting when we see it hit jamaica? i was reading wind speeds, but also the danger from storm surges. which is the more dangerous? typically water is the most dangerous part of a hurricane, about 90% of deaths associated with water, historically, that includes the storm surge. the forecast is for up to nine feet of devastating, potentially catastrophic storm surge, and on top of that, we have battering waves that will be destructive at the coast. this will come awfully close to jamaica, if not move right over them. the forecast is itjust to the south,

but still bringing strong winds over the island in the coming hours. hagar the island in the coming hours. how fast is it moving? _ the island in the coming hours. how fast is it moving? and we always talk about climate change, but is that impacting? are we seeing more of these hurricane and storm forces actually hitting areas where you are? it actually hitting areas where you are? . actually hitting areas where you are? , ., , x' , actually hitting areas where you are? , ., , are? it is moving very quickly, so it is moving _ are? it is moving very quickly, so it is moving at — are? it is moving very quickly, so it is moving at about _ are? it is moving very quickly, so it is moving at about 23 - are? it is moving very quickly, so it is moving at about 23 mph, - it is moving at about 23 mph, which is quick for a storm of this string. in terms of climate change, we know the relationship is there. the fact the relationship is there. the fact the waters are as warm as they are as early as they are, the background in all of this is global warming and climate change. certainly the fingerprint of climate change are all over the tropics right now. taste all over the tropics right now. we will leave it there. thanks very much. ijust want will leave it there. thanks very much. i just want to take you to a line that i am just seeing being reported by the new york times. it is really significant. it is that joe biden has apparently told an

ally that he is weighing whether to continue in the race, all of this the fallout after that disastrous debate with donald trump. the new york times is reporting thatjoe biden has told an ally that he is weighing up whether to continue in the race. we of course have seen the white house and joe biden put it down to the amount of travel, international travel, he has done in recent weeks. initially straight after that debate, it was said that joe biden had a cold. but you will remember what you saw in that debate at different times, joe biden losing track, not getting to the end of sentences. that front page of time magazine, you may remember it where it said, "panic time". but giving a sense of how democrats have responded to watching their presidential candidate for 2024 actually fight that debate with donald trump. there were so many occasions when donald trump said

things that stretched the truth or were simply untrue, and all of that, those apparent open goals, joe biden didn't push back as strongly as so many democrats had wanted. that of course started the massive reaction and conversation that has happened ever since. and conversation that has happened eversince. i and conversation that has happened ever since. i was watching only in the last 12 hours with one phrase being used a lot, which was "the cracks in the dam have already started". that is very interesting what the new york times is reporting. i will repeat one more time thatjoe biden has told an ally that he is weighing up whether to continue in the race. that is very important in terms of a significant story. we will have our teams in washington checking that out. we will do with the very latest on that. that line being reported by the new york times. to northern ireland now, where a judge has ruled

there is sufficient evidence for the former leader of the democratic unionist party, sirjeffrey donaldson, to face trial over historical sex offence charges. he appeared in court in county down this morning, along with his wife, who's also been charged. our ireland correspondent chris page reports. sirjeffrey donaldson is charged with 18 offences, alleged to have been committed between 1985 and 2008. he is accused of one count of rape, 13 of indecent assault, and four of gross indecency. there are two alleged victims. sir geoffrey's wife eleanor mary elizabeth is facing five charges of aiding and abetting. they appeared before newry magistrates�* court for a hearing which lasted three minutes. it was held to decide whether there was enough evidence for the case to go to the crown court for a trial. during the proceedings, the accused were asked if they wanted to say anything in respect of the charges. sirjeffrey donaldson replied," "not at this stage.

lady eleanor donaldson said no. the districtjudge said he was satisfied there was a case to answer it. the date of the next hearing was set for the 10th of september. earlier this year, sirjeffrey donaldson said in a letter to his former party that he would be strenuously contesting the accusations. chris page, bbc news, newry. japan's supreme court has ruled that thousands of people sterilised against their will can claim compensation. about 16,000 people, including those with mental illnesses, were forcibly sterilised under a eugenics law that was only scrapped in 1996. 8,000 more are thought to have been pressured into being sterilised. the supreme court has now decided that japan's 20—year statute of limitations does not apply in these cases.

just a moment, but let's head to the weather, as promised. hello. well, if you're wondering where summer's gone, you're not the only one. the next few days, temperatures are going to stay at or below average across most parts of the country. and that means the weather continues to be cool through the rest of this week and indeed into the weekend. and really, it's all down to the jet stream position, which is running more or less over the uk. we've got these troughs in the jet stream which will develop areas of low pressure. they in turn bringing us notjust cool air, but also showers or some longer spells of rain. now, through the rest of the afternoon, the wettest weather is going across scotland, but the cloud further south across england and wales thick enough to give us an odd spit of rain. brighter weather pushing into northern ireland for a time, but again, there could be 1 or 2 passing showers here. for the most part, temperatures a few degrees below average for this time of the year, and for the forecast for wimbledon, cloud could be thick enough to give an odd passing spit of rain today. tomorrow looks much brighter with some sunshine. it turns just a little bit less cool as well.

now, during this evening and overnight, cloud should clear away from england. we'll have some clearer spells working in later in the night, but showers never far away in scotland and northern ireland. it'll continue to be quite windy for western scotland as well. temperatures overnight dipping down into single figures, so that will be giving us a cool start to the day on thursday. another day with low pressure in charge. and closest to the centre of the low pressure in scotland, it's here where we're looking at some showers, probably merging together to give some longer spells of rain for the highlands and the hebrides as well. it'll also be quite blustery, and that will certainly add to a coolness to the weather. further southwards for wales, midlands, east anglia, southern counties of england, showers few and far between. the weather should be largely dry. and given a bit more sunshine, temperatures push into the low 20s, which will feel ok if you're out and about. now, we end the week friday and into the weekend, another area of low pressure is set to develop pretty much over the top of the country. the first signs of that low pressure

on friday will be bringing rain in across southern areas of england, southern wales. a bit of uncertainty about the position of this rain band. it could end up going a little bit further northwards. probably the brightest weather this time for scotland and for northern ireland, but temperatures continue to be a little bit disappointing for the early stages ofjuly — a month which is meant to be, of course, summer. looking at the longer—range outlook, it stays pretty unsettled and generally on the cool side too.

welcome to bbc news.

parties make their final pitches to the public on the last full day, of general election campaigning. we'll bring you the latest from our teams across the country. as from our teams across the country. a conservative says as a conservative cabinet minister says he expects a crushing defeat by labour, the sun newspaper endorses sir keir starmer as the next prime minister. a woman in oxfordshire tells the bbc she killed her terminally ill seven—year—old son with a large dose of morphine more than 40 years ago. and as part of his wimbledon farewell andy murray will play with emma raducanu in a super mixed doubles partnership. welcome to bbc news.

with15 hours to go until polling stations open, some conservatives have said they expect to lose badly. the work and pensions secretary mel stride has predicted the largest labour majority in history, while the former home secretary suella braverman said simply 'it�*s over.�* the sun newspaper which last backed labour over the tories in 2005 has endorsed keir starmer as the next prime minister. here's our political correspondent lone wells. cheering. the day before the last election, this man was on the cusp of getting a huge tory majority. boris, boris! thank you very much. thank you. former prime minister borisjohnson brought in at the 11th hour last night to try to give the current prime minister's campaign a boost. good evening, everyone. the day before this election, the mood in tory quarters couldn't feel more different. i totally accept that where the polls are at the moment means that tomorrow is likely to see the largest labour landslide majority, the largest majority

that this country has ever seen. much bigger than 1997, bigger even than the national government in 1931. what therefore matters now is what kind of opposition do we have? what kind of ability to scrutinise government is there within parliament? cheering. you might think labour would be delighted by this prediction, but there are concerns in the party that it doesn't help them. it's really voter suppression. it's trying to get people to stay at home rather than to go out and vote. i say if you want change, you have to vote for it. i want people to be part of the change. i know there are very close constituencies across the country. i don't take anything for granted. i respect the voters and i know that we have to earn every vote until ten o'clock tomorrow night and we will do that. it's notjust the tories driving this prediction. the race is turning now to who will make the strongest opposition. yes, that is the liberal democrat leader, ed davey, at the wheel.

when i think about the next parliament, it's really clear that a united liberal democrats with a strong message on fair deal are ones who could hold whoever�*s in power to account. the conservatives can't. they had been a failed government. they would be a failed opposition. they're too divided to hold the next government to account. and, north of the border, the message is the same. the tories are out of the game. they've lost the election south of the border. in scotland, for voters, if they want to stop austerity, stop a labour government imposing more austerity in scotland, they want to protect the scottish interest and make sure we've got a future that's made in scotland for scotland, they've got to vote snp. the green party says it hopes to win at least four mps to push a labour government to be bolder and braver in delivering real change. reform uk's leader nigel farage says his party can be the real opposition to hold keir starmer to account on immigration. get rid of the tories. yeah.

plaid cymru say the tories are finished, but wales could not afford to be sidelined by a labour government. we've had a lot of predictions from parties out and about today, and it is extraordinary that the day before the election, parties are not debating policy but polls. but remember, what really matters is not the polls, it's not the predictions, it's how people actually vote. and the majority of people will be doing that tomorrow. it is only on friday that we will know how many mps each party is going to be sending here to parliament, and who will form the next government. more about what we heard from the sun newspaper. take me through the picture and the article. by, picture and the article. footballing metaphor of the moment, it is a moment thatjournalists get

very excited about because there is a long history to this, but the sun has plumped for labour at the last moment, given there has been a paper that has been behind the conservatives over the last 14 years, it is a bit of a shift, but there is a long history behind all of this. if you actually read the article, they still have a lot of praise for rishi sunak. they like what you have done —— he has done with brexit, national insurance and ukraine. but then there is this phrase, they said the conservatives have become a divided rabble fighting themselves, taxes have ballooned, the tories are exhausted and so they have decided to switch to keir starmer and the labour party and say we wish them every success. he said it has been a long history, 2005 the last time the sun back to labour. give us more about why

people look for at this moment of where the sun goes. back people look for at this moment of where the sun goes.— people look for at this moment of where the sun goes. back in 1992, a famous front — where the sun goes. back in 1992, a famous front page, _ where the sun goes. back in 1992, a famous front page, the _ where the sun goes. back in 1992, a famous front page, the sun - where the sun goes. back in 1992, a famous front page, the sun what - where the sun goes. back in 1992, a i famous front page, the sun what won it, after neil kinnock surprised everyone by losing, and it was said by the sun that their final front—page, turn out the likes of neil kinnock gets in there, may have swung it at the last possible moment. it was a mass in those days. tony blair and peter mandelson went out of their way in the 19905 to woo with the murdoch so they could get the endorsement in 1997, there is a long history, but you have got to remember 4 million people, about a quarter of the working population are reading the sun in that day, the physical newspaper probably less than 700,000. what impact it has, a very different world we are in. taste

but the mood is certainly high, and thatis but the mood is certainly high, and that is of course they have had a paul read over the six—week campaign and maintained a significant full read despite criticism of the campaign that it has been an ambitious or even boring, but they had a relatively smooth campaign compared to the conservatives, so i think at the moment the labour campaign are pretty happy where they are on the eve of polling day. let me ask you _ are on the eve of polling day. let me ask you a quick supplementary question because listening to harriet harman, the former deputy leader only a day or so ago, he was saying all this talk about a labour supermajority, in her view, she thought that would be a good thing because it would enable keir starmer to get stuff done.— to get stuff done. yes, here is really reluctant _ to get stuff done. yes, here is really reluctant to _ to get stuff done. yes, here is really reluctant to go - to get stuff done. yes, here is really reluctant to go into - to get stuff done. yes, here is really reluctant to go into the | really reluctant to go into the language of super majorities. it is something that is being played down by labour. what he has said is he

would like a strong mandate, that is hardly a surprising thing for somebody who is standing to be a prime minister effectively to say, but he certainly isn't being drawn into the language of a supermajority. whoever comes into government, they are facing enormous challenges, i was at a question and answer session with workers at a warehouse yesterday and sir keir starmer was asked about illegal immigration and small boats crossing, what are you going to do about nhs waiting lists. the labour party pointed out manifesto i think they have said, and critics will say adios to this are not adequate, they would refute that, but there is no debate, i think the challenges faced in the uk are extremely significant, so i am sure he will be hoping for some kind of strong mandate, if indeed labour wins this election. but it is interesting, when i spoke

to him earlier, following the comments from now astride, the conservatives going around saying they think labour will get a supermajority and keir starmer�*s view was this was a tory tactic to try and suppress the labour votes, and he criticised that, as he saw it as a tactic coming from the a5 a tactic coming from the conservatives. we are going to keep saying this focus of this closing hours of the approach polling day by the labour party to try and motivate people to go out and vote for them, because they might fear the messaging coming out of the conservatives and others could lead people to think it is a done deal or perhaps lead them to waver. that is exactly what they do not want ads labour are saying they think there are seats where there could be a few hundred votes in it, as is often the case in any general election. but thatis case in any general election. but that is the message they are putting out there. i that is the message they are putting out there. . ., , , , ., ,, out there. i have also been speaking to nick eardley _ out there. i have also been speaking to nick eardley who _ out there. i have also been speaking to nick eardley who is _ out there. i have also been speaking to nick eardley who is on _ out there. i have also been speaking to nick eardley who is on the - to nick eardley who is on the conservative bus. he talked to me shortly after that news from the sun

thrown the towel in, we have heard senior cabinet ministers suggesting that this morning, talking about a significant labour majority after the election, talking about voting tory to ensure a strong opposition. we have been asking rishi sunak about that in a press huddle, which is basically where a lot of journalists get to ask questions off—camera on the market and he has insisted he is not throwing in the towel, he is going to keep fighting until the last minute. he is insisting there is still a lot of undecided voters out there and a lot of wavering voters who could make a big difference, but he has also told us whatever happens tomorrow, if the u5 whatever happens tomorrow, if the tories to get thumped, a5 u5 whatever happens tomorrow, if the tories to get thumped, as some people are predicting, he will take full responsibility, that is pretty interesting because of the last few days, he is talking about the cards he was dealt in some of what came before him, but saying whatever happens tomorrow that eunuch will take full responsibility, as we have been hearing. plenty of

time for a new manager. perhaps inevitably there is a pun about the footballing situation when it comes to the england team, and look, there is no doubt that part of keir starmer�*s outreach programme and his desire to make his party a bit more business friendly has included the media, he has been doing a lot of interviews with newspapers that perhaps are traditionally not that fond of the labour party, he will be pretty chuffed, labour are more than likely to win the general election tomorrow. the sun normally backs winners and they will help it will be another example. it gives the sense that labour have built a coalition of voters, notjust sense that labour have built a coalition of voters, not just the traditional heartland that backed the party in the past, but also some parts of the country that have been reluctant to vote labour in the past. labourthink reluctant to vote labour in the past. labour think they have a chance of winning some seats for the very first time. chance of winning some seats for the very first time-—

very first time. let's stay with the conservatives. _ the prime minister rishi sunak has been speaking on the campaign trail in hampshire. i appreciate people have frustrations with our party, we haven't got everything right and haven't got everything right and have not made as much progress as we would have liked but tomorrow's election is not a by—election. it is a choice for the future of our country, i don't want people's taxes to go up, i want to keep cutting them and protect people's pensions because if you have worked hard all your life you deserve security in retirement and not paid retirement tax under labour, and i want to make sure our borders are secure and continue to reduce migration, so thatis continue to reduce migration, so that is the offer for people. the vote tomorrow is an important one for the country, i know a lot of people have not made up their minds. i get frustrations with the past but think about what the labour government would mean for your family. can you afford to pay thousands of pounds of higher taxes?

do you want to pay tax on your pension for the first time. if the answer is no, then vote conservative.— answer is no, then vote conservative. . ., , conservative. what are your plans for friday? _ conservative. what are your plans for friday? you _ conservative. what are your plans for friday? you are _ conservative. what are your plans for friday? you are hoping - conservative. what are your plans for friday? you are hoping you - conservative. what are your plans | for friday? you are hoping you are still prime minister, but you must have prepared for a different outcome? i have prepared for a different outcome?— have prepared for a different outcome? . ., ~ ., outcome? i am working hard untilthe last minute of— outcome? i am working hard untilthe last minute of this _ outcome? i am working hard untilthe last minute of this campaign - outcome? i am working hard untilthe last minute of this campaign for - last minute of this campaign for every vote and you have been out with me across the country sing that and yesterday was a long day because i really believe lots of people have not made up their mind, and that is why i am keen to talk to as many people as possible before the polls closed tomorrow to make sure everyone understands their choice, and it is very simple. if you want your pension protected and border security and prevent the labour supermajority vote conservative and your vote will make a difference. lots of people want to say this is a foregone conclusion and that is not true. your vote can make a difference in preventing that majority and protecting your pension, is get out there and vote conservative. he pension, is get out there and vote conservative-— conservative. he mentioned the word

supermajority a couple of times. - and mentioning that labour is on course to get one. but what exactly does that mean — and does the claim add up? tom edgington from bbc verify has been taking a look. so, here we are. the uk is about to choose its prime minister, and some of the polls are suggesting that the labour party could win big, very big. so much so that the conservatives have been warning about a supermajority, something that they claim will make it much harder to hold the labour party to account. indeed, the prime minister himself has posted about it on social media several times. but does it actually exist? well, this phrase supermajority, it doesn't actually have any specific meaning, at least not in uk parliamentary terms. that's because here in the uk, once a party wins 326 seats in the house of commons, and that's just over half the party already has enough of its own mp5 to pass new laws in the commons. well, assuming, of course, it can keep those mp5 on side and getting a bigger majority than that, well, it's not going to unlock any extra powers.

indeed, the institute for government think tank says it's untrue that there would be a sudden dramatic loss in scrutiny should one party win a very large majority. now, this concept of a supermajority, it does exist in some countries, including here in the united states. that's because making certain things happen over in the us congress, like, for example, overturning a presidential veto that does require a two thirds majority. and if one side has reached this threshold, it's known a5 a supermajority vote. so that begs the question — does having a large majority in the uk make any difference at all? well, it does a couple of things. firstly, the more seats a party wins, the more of these select committee chairs it holds. now, these committees scrutinise the work of the government and the balance of the parties at the election is meant to reflect who chairs them.

the other thing is this — money, a very large majority, also means less money for the opposition. that's because the smaller parties get money for every seat they win to spend on things like research and on their leader's staff. and remember, big majorities aren't anything new — after the 1997 election, for example, the labour party had a majority of 179, and in 1983 the conservatives won a majority of 144. now the tory cabinet minister, mel stride, he said on wednesday that labour could be on course for the largest majority in british history. but of course, until those votes are counted, we'll have to wait and see who emerges as the winner. and, crucially, by what margin? let me take you back to the campaign trail. and the first reaction we have had from keir starmer to that news from backing the sun newspaper.

art correspond to is there saying he says he is delighted to have the backing of the sun newspaper, i think that shows just how much this is a changed labour party back in the service of working people. he was asked by the media in his latest campaign stop what he thought of that developing news. he says he is delighted and it shows how much this is a changed labour party back in the service of working people. let's turn back to the campaign trail and look at the snp. our scotland reporter katie hunter has been speaking to the snp leader, john swinney. the snp leaderjohn swinney, like all the other party leaders, is throwing everything at the campaign trail today on the last full day of campaigning. the battlebus left here about 45 minutes ago, we will catch up with it later on. john swinney�*s message today is the same that he has been focusing on over the last few days — he said in his opinion the election is a done deal in england and labour will win and sir keir starmer will be the next prime minister. but he says it is a different

situation in scotland, that the vote is on a knife edge and too close to call between the snp and labour. and what he has been saying consistently through this campaign is if labour do win the election, it will be more of the same, and he is saying, for voters in scotland, in his opinion, they need to vote snp to give people a strong voice at westminster. green party co—leader carla denyer has said the greens are the best party to hold a potential labour government to account. the level of support has been phenomenal. i've been stopped in the street repeatedly by people asking for a selfie, or even for a hug, and the fact that often these people have been those on lower incomes who are struggling in the cost—of—living crisis, i think is a real testament that the green party are the only party offering the level of change, the level of investment that's needed in our public services. the green party is offering real hope in this campaign,

hope that a small group of green mp5 can bring by pulling the incoming labour government in the right direction, whether that's on climate, whether that's on tackling the cost—of—living crisis or the housing crisis. fairness has always been at the absolute core of green party policy. our approach is that the inequalities in our society and climate change and environmental degradation are two sides of the same coin. some of the causes are the same and many of the solutions are the same. so viewers will have, i'm sure, seen me many times talking about one of ourflagship policies — a nationwide home insulation programme — because that helps to bring down people's bills, it brings down their carbon emissions and it gives them warmer, more comfortable homes where they can be healthier. and then that in turn reduces costs on the nhs. so policies like this — green policies — are a win—win—win. and we think that's why so many people are excited to vote green this time around. i think the parties that have rolled back on their climate commitments will see the results of that in this election.

when sunak rolled back on some of his environmental commitments a while ago, including the speed of roll—out of electric vehicles, i assume he did that because he thought he was going to get a polling bounce out of it. but in fact, the conservatives got a poll bounce of precisely 0%. what's more, he got a big negative response from even the automotive industry themselves who had already planned their businesses on the basis of the original electric vehicle rollout and decarbonisation schedule. so, the businesses want politicians to go faster on tackling climate change, the voters want politicians to go faster on tackling climate change. so this thursday, the 4th ofjuly, if you want green policies, you can vote for the green party. we're standing our largest slate of parliamentary candidates all over england and wales, and you can get more greens elected to hold the incoming labour government to account. let's check on the liberal democrats. their campaign finale is

about to happen in the next little while. overto about to happen in the next little while. over to you, what are they planning? latte while. over to you, what are they ttlannin ? ~ . . while. over to you, what are they ”lannin ? . , ., ., while. over to you, what are they ttlannin ? ~ , . ., , , planning? we understand that the bus we have spent — planning? we understand that the bus we have spent much _ planning? we understand that the bus we have spent much of— planning? we understand that the bus we have spent much of our— planning? we understand that the bus we have spent much of our lives - planning? we understand that the bus we have spent much of our lives on i we have spent much of our lives on in the last week or so will appear before this crowd of activists here in hertfordshire and there will be some speeches, some pyrotechnics of some speeches, some pyrotechnics of some sort and then the road bit of the campaign that has gone on for six weeks, ed davey travelling over the country with stunts and photo opportunities will come to an end, and though the campaign moves to the final date tomorrow which is very important for election campaigns which is getting the vote out, you have to get your activists onto the street, make use of the cancer think you have done, speak to people on the doorsteps to find out how they might vote and persuade those people to go out and actually put their cross in the liberal democrat box. the lib dems believe they can make a bit of a breakthrough during the selection because they have been very carefully targeting

conservative seats where they think they are currently in second place or have been in second place, that is interesting because in the past they have got a pretty standard election campaign and the liberal democrats have missed out over it because they have not targeted seats under the first past the post system they have in this country, you need to pay attention to where you can come first each race rather than trying to maximise the percentage you have. if that works, they could get a breakthrough and beat a previous best record for the last 100 years where they made 26 new games, some seats have got as many as 70, that seems unlikely but a5 70, that seems unlikely but somewhere in between is what the liberal democrats will be looking at. fit. liberal democrats will be looking at. �* .. liberal democrats will be looking at. �* ., , ., , ~' at. a twin thought, there is a pink cadillac behind — at. a twin thought, there is a pink cadillac behind you. _ at. a twin thought, there is a pink cadillac behind you. talk - at. a twin thought, there is a pink cadillac behind you. talk me - at. a twin thought, there is a pink i cadillac behind you. talk me through that, and talked me through what the final message has been presumably, we have seen similar time string this campaign, social care, nhs

to 4:30pm. hello. well, if you're wondering where summer's gone, you're not the only one. the next few days, temperatures are going to stay at or below average across most parts of the country. and that means the weather continues to be cool through the rest of this week and indeed into the weekend. and really, it's all down to the jet stream position, which is running more or less over the uk. we've got these troughs in the jet stream which will develop areas of low pressure. they in turn bringing us notjust cool air, but also showers or some longer spells of rain. now, through the rest of the afternoon, the wettest weather is going across scotland, but the cloud further south across england and wales thick enough to give us an odd spit of rain. brighter weather pushing into northern ireland for a time, but again, there could be 1 or 2 passing showers here. for the most part, temperatures a few degrees below average for this time of the year, and for the forecast for wimbledon, cloud could be thick enough to give an odd passing spit of rain today. tomorrow looks much brighter with some sunshine. it turns just a little bit less cool as well. now, during this evening and overnight, cloud should clear away from england. we'll have some clearer spells

working in later in the night, but showers never far away in scotland and northern ireland. it'll continue to be quite windy for western scotland as well. temperatures overnight dipping down into single figures, so that will be giving us a cool start to the day on thursday. another day with low pressure in charge. and closest to the centre of the low pressure in scotland, it's here where we're looking at some showers, probably merging together to give some longer spells of rain for the highlands and the hebrides as well. it'll also be quite blustery, and that will certainly add to a coolness to the weather. further southwards for wales, midlands, east anglia, southern counties of england, showers few and far between. the weather should be largely dry. and given a bit more sunshine, temperatures push into the low 205, which will feel ok if you're out and about. now, we end the week friday and into the weekend, another area of low pressure is set to develop pretty much over the top of the country. the first signs of that low pressure on friday will be bringing rain in across southern areas of england, southern wales. a bit of uncertainty about the position of this rain band. it could end up going a little

bit further northwards. probably the brightest weather this time for scotland and for northern ireland, but temperatures continue to be a little bit disappointing for the early stages ofjuly — a month which is meant to be, of course, summer. looking at the longer—range outlook, it stays pretty unsettled and generally on the cool side too.

this is bbc news, the headlines... on the the last full day of general election campaigning. as a conservative cabinet minister says he expect a crushing defeat by labour, the sun newspaper endorses sir keir starmer as the next prime minister. ajudge in northern ireland rules that former leader of the democratic unionist party, sirjeffrey donaldson, can face trial over historical sex offence charges. and as part of his wimbledon farewell, andy murray will play with emma raducanu in a super—star mixed doubles partnership. let's get back on the campaign trail. i was with the lib dems earlier teeing up this event. this

has to change. _ has to change. cheering the conservatives have got to go. and in so many parts of our great united kingdom, the lib dems have shown that we are the party to get the conservatives out. cheering and if we do, we can fix the health and care crisis, we have put that right at the centre of our campaign. and i'm particularly proud that we have stood up for carers and care, and we have brought that issue out of the shadow to say "we want to be a nation of care". cheering i believe we can fix our health and care crisis, and every vote tomorrow for the liberal democrats is a

vote... inaudible cheering cheers for ed davey, just an apology because we aren't mixing from different cameras, the sound and the pictures. apologies that the sound quality is not the greatest. let's stay with it, i think we can hear ed davey talking about fixing a health and care crisis. ltrful’ith davey talking about fixing a health and care crisis.— and care crisis. with victoria collins! cheering if people tomorrow... inaudible they will be voting for someone who will champion them, their community and theirfamily. i will fight for the fairer deal —— who will fight for the fair deal.

inaudible a fare deal with every child can have decent school and have the opportunity, a fair deal where everyone can have access to high—quality health care when they need it and where they need it. that is the fair deal that the liberal democrats are fighting for. so, tomorrow, you have the choice, you can vote for that fair deal, you can vote liberal democrat. so come and join us, let's make it happen. cheering cla ps and cheers claps and cheers at the end of their campaigning, apologies that the sound was poor there in the early

parts of that. but ed davey addressing all of those liberal democrat supporters, does tom symons was saying, as he turns away from those supporters, as tom was describing where they are going to provide us with an exit in terms of campaigning pictures. because the liberal democrat leader and the deputy about to get into that pink cadillac before heading off. it has been, as with all of the main party leaders, and exhausting six weeks of campaigning, crisscrossing the country. but certainly huge smiles there, and ed davey, a5 country. but certainly huge smiles there, and ed davey, as we have seen week after week, seemingly enjoying himself on the campaign trail, throwing himself into so many different stunts. but certainly an enormous welcome at their from his supporters. and very interesting earlier in the day, he was saying

there is no limit to the ambition in terms of the amount of seats, potentially, he thinks they could win here. and they have been very targeted this time in this campaign. and certainly in some of the recent polling, they will have taken heart from that in the hope that certainly they can edge out the snp in terms of the amount of seats in westminster. of course there is that one poll last night that put them very close to the number of potential conservative seats. we will see how this will pan out, there is so much which is fluid in there is so much which is fluid in the way the seats will fall. and all of the parties reminding voters that actually this could boil down to a few hundred thousand. so the party is trying desperately to try to get that message of getting the vote out. and there is a photograph that you are seeing, so many of the front pages of tomorrow's papers, as ed

davey completes his campaigning for the liberal democrats. and you heard him say, in between are some of the breaks in sound, again emphasising the need to fix health and care, the crisis, that he describes. and it saying, "that is what liberal democrats stand for, that is what we will push if we get the numbers of mp5 into westminster." so he heads off around the corner. that is the latest of the lib dems' campaign comes to an end. let's turn to another issue that has been focusing another issue that has been focusing a lot of mines for the last few days. the royal mail has responded to concerns over delays to postal votes, insisting there is 'no backlog' in its system and that they are 'confident�* all ballots handed to them on time will be delivered prior to polling day. but many voters are still without their packs, and wondering whether they'll miss out on having their say.

for 21—year—old alice graham, this should have been a first chance to vote in a general election. she registered for a postal vote, but things aren't going to plan. here she is explaining the situation. i applied for a postal vote 21 days ago, and it hasjust never arrived. i filled out the forms when i was in edinburgh asking for my postal vote to be sent to brighton, because i'm here over the summerfor an internship, and they approved it, the address is correct — i've checked. and it has just never arrived down in brighton. so i called the council, and they said i have two options, they said i can either go up to edinburgh and pick up my postal voting pack, or i can vote in person in edinburgh. but it is just completely unfeasible, it would cost me £100 for a return to edinburgh, and it is a day i'm meant to be working. so there is absolutely no way i can get up there to vote, and i think they should be doing something else about it, because i have no choice but not to vote tomorrow. now i'm just completely powerless, and itjust feels awful because i feel like everyone really

deserves the right to vote. just one person worried that she will miss out in terms of voting tomorrow. earlier, we heard fom head of policy at the electoral commission, tom hawthorn. i asked him what the scale of the problem is likely to be tomorrow. we don't know the exact numbers at this stage, we will have to wait and see what the numbers are like after polling day. what we do know is that election teams and the royal mail have been working hard to get the postal votes up to people. 10,000 delivered last weekend. we know millions of people have already sent their postal votes back, so they will be able to get their votes counted tomorrow. just will be able to get their votes counted tomorrow.— will be able to get their votes counted tomorrow. just for advising teo . le counted tomorrow. just for advising people who — counted tomorrow. just for advising people who might _ counted tomorrow. just for advising people who might be _ counted tomorrow. just for advising people who might be in _ counted tomorrow. just for advising people who might be in this - counted tomorrow. just for advising i people who might be in this dilemma, if people havejust people who might be in this dilemma, if people have just received their pack and have sent in at their postal vote, can you give a guarantee that that vote will end up being counted? the guarantee that that vote will end up being counted?— guarantee that that vote will end up being counted? the royal mail have tot s-ecial being counted? the royal mail have got special procedures _ being counted? the royal mail have got special procedures in _ being counted? the royal mail have got special procedures in place - being counted? the royal mail have got special procedures in place for. got special procedures in place for today and tomorrow, polling day,

where they will sweep all of the mail centres and post boxes to make sure that any mail that is in the system by the end of the day today will get to returning officers by tomorrow. foranybody will get to returning officers by tomorrow. for anybody who still has their postal vote, and they are not certain about whether they have enough time to send it back in the post, they can take it to their local polling station. they will need to fill out a form at the polling station, but they can hand it in there. 50 polling station, but they can hand it in there. i. ... polling station, but they can hand it in there. i. .., ., ,, polling station, but they can hand it in there. ,. ... . ~' ,. it in there. so you could take, you could physically — it in there. so you could take, you could physically carry _ it in there. so you could take, you could physically carry your - it in there. so you could take, you could physically carry your postall could physically carry your postal vote to a polling station. if you have registered for a postal vote and it has not come, can you just turn up at the polling station and say, "look, it has not come, but can i put?" say, "look, it has not come, but can i tut?“ .. say, "look, it has not come, but can | ut?" ., , say, "look, it has not come, but can i-ut?�* ., , �* say, "look, it has not come, but can iut?�* ., _m i put?" no, they can't. if you if ou i put?" no, they can't. if you if you have _ i put?" no, they can't. if you if you have applied _ i put?" no, they can't. if you if you have applied for— i put?" no, they can't. if you if you have applied for a - i put?" no, they can't. if you if you have applied for a post - i put?" no, they can't. if you if you have applied for a post of. i put?" no, they can't. if you if i you have applied for a post of it, you have applied for a post of it, you can't vote in person at the polling station. but you can apply for a replacement postal ballot pack from your local council up until 5pm tomorrow evening. you need to get in touch with your council directly, if you go to our website at the electoral commission, you can put in

where a judge has ruled there is sufficient evidence for the former leader of the democratic unionist party, sirjeffrey donaldson, to face trial over historical sex offence charges. he appeared in court in county down this morning, along with his wife, who's also been charged. our ireland correspondent chris page reports. sirjeffrey donaldson is charged with 18 offences alleged to have been committed between 1985 and 2008. he's accused of one count of rape, 13 of indecent assault and four of gross indecency. there are two alleged victims. sirjeffrey�*s wife, lady eleanor donaldson, is facing five charges of aiding and abetting. they appeared before newry magistrates court for a hearing which lasted three minutes. it was held to decide whether there was enough evidence for the case to go to the crown court for a trial. during the proceedings, the accused were asked if they wanted to say anything

in respect of the charges. sirjeffrey donaldson replied, "not at this stage". lady eleanor donaldson said no. the districtjudge said he was satisfied there was a case to answer. the date of the next hearing was set for the 10th of september earlier this year, sirjeffrey donaldson said in a letter to his former party that he would be strenuously contesting the accusations. chris page, bbc news, newry. a woman in oxfordshire has told the bbc she killed her terminally ill seven—year—old son with a large dose of morphine more than 40 years ago. antonya cooper said hamish had stage 4 cancer and was in "a lot of pain" so she felt she had to "quietly end his life". bbc radio oxford's sophie law has the story, which some viewers might find upsetting. hamish cooper passed away atjust seven years old. the year was 1981. he had neuroblastoma, a rare cancer

that mostly affects children. 43 years on, his mother antonya has chosen to speak out about his death publicly for the first time, prompted by her own diagnosis. i was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. one of the scans, that i was having many of, discovered i had secondaries in my liver. there is very much a limit on my life going forward. we don't know how long. i wonder whether your experience with hamish and everything that happened there, part of that has helped you be so proactive in terms ofjoining dignitas, being, you know, vocal about your support for assisted dying? do you think that experience has...? very much so, because on hamish's last night when he said he was in a lot of pain, i said, "would you like me to remove the pain?" and he said, "yes, please, mamma."

and through his hickman catheter, i gave him a large dose of morphine that did quietly end his life. at that point in our chat, we called it a day. it was an incredible revelation, a secret she'd kept within the family for nearly four decades. i wanted to talk to antonya about the part she played in her son's death in much greater detail, so we chose to come back a few weeks later. he knew somewhere what was going to happen. but i cannot obviously tell you why or how. i was his mother. he loved his mother, and i totally loved him. and i was not going to let him suffer. and ifeel he really knew where he was going. there is theoretically a potential prison sentence.

there is. involved in this. and if they come 43 years after i have allowed hamish to die peacefully, then i would have to face the consequences. but they would have to be quick because i'm dying too. sophie law with that report. captain sir tom moore's daughter hannah ingram—moore and her husband colin have been disqualified from being charity trustees by the charity commission, the family said in a statement. the ingram—moore family said they "disagree" with the charity commission's decision to disqualify them, following an investigation. the charity commission opened a case into the captain tom foundation shortly after his death in 2021 and launched an inquiry in june 2022. it came amid concerns about its management and independence from sir tom's family.

the statement said — "despite our vehement objections to the disqualification order, we have made the extremely difficult decision not to pursue an appeal. the profound emotional upheaval and financial burden make such a course of action untenable." the family maintain that they have fully co—operated with the charity commission at all times. it's day three of wimbledon, and following yesterday's big news that andy murray is withdrawing from the singles, he has now announced he will play with emma radacanu in the mixed doubles later in the tournament. earlier we spoke to sports correspondent, chetan pathak, about the rather impressive pairing. yes, it lifted all our souls here, especially when the rain was pouring this morning. the sun is out now. there will be more andy murray at these championships. not in the singles, as you said. we spoke about that yesterday — having to pull out of his match having not recovered from that cyst he had removed from his back,

and the nerve damage that's caused in his right leg in terms of the pain. we'll see him in the men's doubles tomorrow. we think with jamie murray, that's when it will be scheduled. and then friday or saturday with emma raducanu, both of them us open champions. it's mouthwatering, isn't it? remember five years ago, matthew, we saw andy murray with serena williams. they got as far as the third round. i just think everyone associated with british tennis, global tennis. andy murray is such a huge name, loved and admired in this sport. we'll see him for a little bit longer at what he expects to be his final wimbledon, teaming up with emma raducanu, who's idolised him growing up — she had posters of him on her wall. they'll get to play together in what is arguably going to be his final championships. chetan, when we were talking yesterday, we talked about, of course he's playing in the doubles with his brother and whether the officials will be able to sort ofjiggle things around. ofjiggle things around so he gets to play on centre court, any sort of development on that? yeah, it's got to be, hasn't it? surely in the mixed doubles?

what are the big matches today? we've got carlos alcaraz, the defending champion, is currently on court at the moment. it's early doors for him in that match. he's playing alexander vukic, uh, a player who's very good on grass. but alcaraz the favourite to win that. jannik sinner, the top seed to come later. over the past six weeks of campaigning they have heard from the leaders of all seven main political parties and we have asked the questions that really matter to you and put their manifesto pledges to

the uk over the next few days, for the uk over the next few days, for the remainder of the night with low pressure to the north of scotland, we are looking at lots of showers for scotland and some from northern ireland in one or two for the far north of england, the weather becomes drier further southwards with temperatures ranging from eight to ii with temperatures ranging from eight to 11 celsius. the pressure is firmly in charge that is where we will have some of the strongest winds with showers in western scotland for the hebrides and scotland for the hebrides and scotland there will be showers for northern ireland and northern england, further southwards, it is a drier day with more in the way of sunshine, in the sunshine it will not feel too bad, but 14 in glasgow and with the winds for western scotland picking up two gusts of 40 miles an hour that will add to a cool feel. an area of the pressure develops across the uk friday into saturday, so there is no change to

the unsettled weather pattern we are experiencing right now. the first signs of that next area of low pressure will move into southern parts of england and wales. it could get further northwards, scotland and northern ireland of rome on friday should be drier and brighter, sunny spells were widespread but showers around at that same area of low pressure develops a bit further as we head into saturday, that is why we head into saturday, that is why we see more extensive rain across the north and east of the uk, the driest weather is towards the south—west but temperatures will continue to run it below average throughout the rest of this week at the weekend as well. live from london, this is bbc news.

parties make their final pitches to the public on the the last full day of general election campaigning. we'll bring you the latest from our teams across the country. two senior conservatives publicy say that they expect to lose the election to labour, with one cabinet secretary predicting the largest labour majority in history. in a separate blow for the conservatives, this afternoon the sun newspaper endorses sir keir starmer as the next prime minister. we'll hear from our correspondents travelling with the conservatives, labour, and the lib dems. hello, welcome to bbc news. with14 hours to go until polling stations open, a cabinet minister and a former home secretary have said publicly they expect the conservatives to lose badly. the work and pensions secretary, mel stride, has predicted

the largest labour majority in history, while the former home secretary suella braverman said simply, "it's over." all the parties are making a final appeal for votes. in a moment, we'll hear from our correspondents with the conservative and lib dem campaigns. but first this report from our political correspondent, lone wells. cheering the day before the last election, this man was on the cusp of getting a huge tory majority. boris, boris! thank you very much. thank you. former prime minister borisjohnson brought in at the 11th hour last night to try to give the current prime minister's campaign a boost. good evening, everyone. the day before this election, the mood in tory quarters couldn't feel more different. i totally accept that where the polls are at the moment means that tomorrow is likely to see the largest labour landslide majority, the largest majority that this country has ever seen. much bigger than 1997, bigger even than the national

government in 1931. what therefore matters now is what kind of opposition do we have? what kind of ability to scrutinise government is there within parliament? cheering you might think labour would be delighted by this prediction, but there are concerns in the party that it doesn't help them. it's really voter suppression. it's trying to get people to stay at home rather than to go out and vote. i say if you want change, you have to vote for it. i want people to be part of the change. i know there are very close constituencies across the country. i don't take anything for granted. i respect the voters and i know that we have to earn every vote until 10pm tomorrow night and we will do that. it's notjust the tories driving this prediction. the race is turning now to who will make the strongest opposition. yes, that is the liberal democrat leader, ed davey, at the wheel. when i think about the next parliament, it's really clear that a united liberal democrats

with a strong message on fair deal are ones who could hold whoever�*s in power to account. the conservatives can't. there'd be a failed government. there'd be a failed opposition. they're too divided to hold the next government to account. and, north of the border, the message is the same. the tories are out of the game. they've lost the election south of the border. in scotland, for voters, if they want to stop austerity, stop a labour government imposing more austerity in scotland, they want to protect the scottish interest and make sure we've got a future that's made in scotland for scotland, they've got to vote snp. the green party says it hopes to win at least four mp5 to push a labour government to be bolder and braver in delivering real change. reform uk's leader nigel farage says his party can be the real opposition to hold keir starmer to account on immigration. get rid of the tories. yeah. plaid cymru say the tories are finished, but wales could not afford to be sidelined by a labour government. we've had a lot of predictions

from parties out and about today, and it is extraordinary that the day before the election, parties are not debating policy but polls. but remember, what really matters is not the polls, it's not the predictions, it's how people actually vote. and the majority of people will be doing that tomorrow. it is only on friday that we will know how many mp5 each party is going to be sending here to parliament, and who will form the next government. lone wells, bbc news, in westminster. let's speak to our correspondent nick eardley, who's covering the conservative campaign. net, give me a favour of this, the last day. net, give me a favour of this, the last da . ~., last day. matthew, i was with the prime minister _ last day. matthew, i was with the prime minister when _ last day. matthew, i was with the prime minister when he - last day. matthew, i was with the prime minister when he launchedj last day. matthew, i was with the i prime minister when he launched the first 24 hours of this campaign, darting around the uk trying to get on the front foot, trying to grab the headlines with bold policies. and i'm with him today as well, when

his main message is to vote conservative to stop labour winning a thumping, historic majority. this is not the place the conservatives wanted to be in on the final day of campaigning — i don't think we should lose sight of how extraordinary those comments we heard in that piece are, from mel stride, a cabinet minister, someone very close to the prime minister, effectively saying, "we think labour will win a big majority, vote for us now to make sure we have an effective opposition." in the conservative party there's a real sense of resignation about what's happening and what could happen tomorrow. i've got to say that's not the place publicly at least that the prime minister is in — he continues to be defiant and say that he's fighting for every vote, continues to say every vote counts and he won't stop campaigning until 10pm tomorrow night. he still has another event here in hampshire tonight. but when you speak to people in the conservative party, candidates,

staffers and others, i think there's a fear that this could be a bad result — and amongst most, a acceptance that there will be a change in government.- acceptance that there will be a change in government. nick, thanks very much- — let's speak to our correspondentjessica parker, on the labour campaign bus. jessica, give us a flavour of what it's been like through the course of the day, keir starmer been reacting to those comments from mel stride, but also reacting to the news of the endorsement from the sun newspaper. yes, keir starmerwas endorsement from the sun newspaper. yes, keir starmer wasjust addressing what i think you could almost class was a rally, a slightly bigger event than the ones we've been to recently on the basketball court in lanarkshire, and scotland. and it was actually almost a fevered atmosphere, i probably wouldn't go that far, but certainly the crowd did seem very revved up as they were addressed by anas sarwar, the leader of the scottish labour party, answer

keir starmer a5 of the scottish labour party, answer keir starmer as well. he was asked about the endorsement from the sun — the first time they've had that since 2005 — and there is a debate about how much those kinds of endorsements actually matter, but keir starmer said he was delighted with the backing from the sun newspaper, and he said it showed how much the labour party had changed. a5 much the labour party had changed. as we've been discussing all day, the mood amongst labour activists and campaigners is upbeat. in terms of reaction to those comments from mel stride andy's general messages from the tory party, they think the country is heading for some sort of labour super majority — obviously they are trying to play that down, they are trying to play that down, they don't want their vote to be suppressed, keir starmer said it was a tactic to suppress the vote — although a labour candidate i spoke to today thought the messaging from the conservatives could potentially be counterproductive. but there certainly is an optimism surrounding the labour campaign at the moment.

but look, if sir keir starmer wins this election — and we are still very much in the realms of if, as reflected by that reportjust now, polling day is tomorrow — he could face huge challenges, and listening across earlier to some questions being lobbed to him by our colleagues in the press, he was ask for example if you could rule out the early release of high—risk offenders from overcrowded prisons — he said that while in principle, that was his instinct to avoid something like that, he wouldn't absolutely rule it out. when yesterday, he was asked by somebody about nhs waiting lists, he talked about nhs waiting lists, he talked about how they were going to be paying clinicians to work extra hours in order to address the backlog — but of course, that'll cost money. so whoever is in government will face huge challenges, but for now at least, the labour party certainly feel very optimistic that they could, after 14 years, be finally getting close to being in power.

years, be finally getting close to being in power-— years, be finally getting close to being in power. jessica, thanks very much. our correspondent tom symonds is on the lib dem campaign bus. we were watching that finale just a short while ago, and the top line from ed davey earlier that there are no limits to the ambition for the liberal democrats this time around? yes, glitter and fireworks, matthew, but tomorrow the real work starts for the liberal democrats. a wider range of seats the liberal democrats could hope to win. technically they have about eight at the moment, which isn't money, because of boundary changes. if they do the best they've ever done, though only have 30 or something. so they'll be hoping to do better than that, though they'll never admit to it. 40-60 though they'll never admit to it. 40—60 according to some polls, and however they achieved that? that's partly due to ed davey�*s stunts, keeping a party in the media. but also, if you're going to vote lib

dem, you won't get a government in the colours of lib dem, but you might get a local champion, an mp batting for you — and he is really talk a lot about these local champions a5 a concept throughout this election campaign. the other thing that slightly more technical but interesting, it's a story that's really unfolded in the last few days discussing the approach the lib dems have been taking with their own strategists — and that's that they've effectively abandoned the idea of winning a share of the vote, in favour of winning a large number of constituencies. because we have a first past the post system, you've got to be first in each constituency to win it. and what that means in terms of their strategy is going out and finding those constituencies, a lot of them conservatives, some in scotland as well that will be places where the lib dems are second where they could become first. they believe especially in the south of england and southwest, they'll get more seats, they are either level pegging or nudging ahead. of course

we won't really know until tomorrow night. we won't really know until tomorrow nitht. .. . , we won't really know until tomorrow nitht. ., ., . we won't really know until tomorrow nitht. ., .. night. tom, as we watch those tictures night. tom, as we watch those pictures of _ night. tom, as we watch those pictures of the _ night. tom, as we watch those pictures of the liberal- night. tom, as we watch those i pictures of the liberal democrat leader they are heading out in his pink cadillac, thanks very much. the very latest there on the various campaign stops from the liberal democrats, labour, and the conservatives. let's speak to adam fleming, host of the bbc�*s newscast. newscast was just broadcast, a marathon six our life pre—election podcast. welcome to the programme, give me a sense of what it felt like, having done that marathon, what you learned from that. matthew, i know six hours _ what you learned from that. matthew, i know six hours of— what you learned from that. matthew, i know six hours of live _ i know six hours of live broadcasting is what you do every day, but for me, it was the equivalent of 12 episodes of newscast back to back. what we wanted to do was just capture the excitement and vividness, and the energy there are in political campaigns in the last 24 hours. so we thought we would just do a live

rolling episode of newscast with friends of the podcast rolling in and out, giving us their observations about the past, present and future — and that all came together right at the start when we were joined together right at the start when we werejoined by david dimbleby, who presented question time for decades and has also fronted loads and loads of bbc general election night programmes. now that he's free of the shackles of bbc impartiality, he can say what he really feels — and he's actually got quite an apocalyptic view for the challenges facing whoever becomes the next prime minister on friday morning. the national conversation, ithink we are _ the national conversation, ithink we are in— the national conversation, ithink we are in a — the national conversation, ithink we are in a position like the opening _ we are in a position like the opening lines of dante and —— dantes inferno. _ opening lines of dante and —— dantes inferno. like — opening lines of dante and —— dantes inferno, like we are in the middle of a inferno, like we are in the middle ofa dark— inferno, like we are in the middle of a dark wood and the path out not yet clear _ of a dark wood and the path out not yet clear. we are in a terrible state — yet clear. we are in a terrible state as — yet clear. we are in a terrible state as a _ yet clear. we are in a terrible state as a country at the moment, i think— state as a country at the moment, i think we — state as a country at the moment, i think we have huge problems of deficit. — think we have huge problems of deficit, the nhs, education. so whatever— deficit, the nhs, education. so whatever government — and there seems _ whatever government — and there seems no — whatever government — and there seems no doubt about what the government will be — but whatever government will be — but whatever government wins has got five years

majority, he's packing up and going home. then you've got the broadcasters — the law is that comes 7am tomorrow morning, we stopped broadcasting — so for us, these are the final hours of the election campaign as we experience it it. but you speak to the campaigners in the constituencies and they are reaching the high point of their activity, tomorrow, where they still pound the pavement until the very last second. and it's so interesting seeing the different timelines to verging. everyone is talking about how the polls have dominated this election campaign — i wonder whether there will be some kind of big political conversation when this is all over about how to get the polls, which are a useful tool, into proportion. and nobody has stepped into a polling station yet, but if those polls are correct, they are suggesting a big labour majority, and we could be facing a quite

historic election result. but it doesn't feel like that at the moment because yes, most votes haven't been cast apart from the polling, but we are being scrupulously impartial a5 are being scrupulously impartial as we always are in an election campaign — but i dojust wonder if actually, this will be a day, tomorrow and friday will be a day that we are talking about for the rest of our journalistic that we are talking about for the rest of ourjournalistic careers because it could potentially be quite a watershed.— because it could potentially be quite a watershed. because it could potentially be tuite a watershed. . . ., , quite a watershed. adam, thanks very much. and you can listen to the newscast all—dayer from 11am this morning on bbc sounds, on the election stream. throughout this election, we've been asking you to get in touch with us to tell us what issues you would like to us to cover through your voice, your vote. with the polls open tomorrow, we've had a huge number of questions about the voting process, as well as questions about the polls and the wider election process. with me is kevin peachy, our cost of living correspondent. kevin, thanks very much for being with us. i've got a long list, so

let's see how many we can get through. first one is from susan ramsey, who wants to know why this rule about voter id is being implemented, and sonya has a follow—up, asking what forms of id are required. it’s follow-up, asking what forms of id are required-— are required. it's quite new for --eole are required. it's quite new for people - _ are required. it's quite new for people - not — are required. it's quite new for people - not in _ are required. it's quite new for people - not in northern i are required. it's quite new for. people - not in northern ireland, people — not in northern ireland, where it's been a requirement for more than 20 years now. there are actually 22 acceptable forms of photo id that you can take with you to the polling station. i guess for most people, it'll be a driving licence or a passport, it can be something like an older person's bus pass, that kind of thing. interesting point, it can be out of date as long as it's got your name on it and it still looks like you in the photo, then that's acceptable. there are obviously a few other rules that we often go through at this time just before people go to the polls — you probably can't take

your pet him, but you can take your children in as long as they aren't the ones marking your paper in the polling station. and remember, if you do forget your photo id, a5 adam just mentioned, the timing there, 7am is when the polling stations open, 10pm at night is on the close. bring your photo id but don't get your phone out for a video call. there was a question about whether the government could ever force people to vote, that's from felix, and tim wants to know if the government have actually considered online voting. government have actually considered online voting-— online voting. online voting is a a common debate, _ online voting. online voting is a a common debate, it's _ online voting. online voting is a a common debate, it's not - online voting. online voting is a a common debate, it's not the i online voting. online voting is a aj common debate, it's not the case here. we obviously hear about it in places like australia, there's about a couple dozen countries around the world where voting is mandatory, and there are fines and things — not many of those places actually enforce that. in terms of online, we've been doing it with the press of a button — we tried a little bit

with a few trials of electronic voting, pressing a screen, but i think will be sometime yet, and obviously it's all to do with whether it's secure enough, and at the moment, the electoral commission says people still very think crossing with a pencil and a bit of paper is still the most secure option. paper is still the most secure 0 ttion. ,, . paper is still the most secure ottion. ,, . , ., , ., option. quite a few questions about tolls - in option. quite a few questions about polls - in terms _ option. quite a few questions about polls - in terms of _ option. quite a few questions about polls - in terms of one _ option. quite a few questions about polls - in terms of one from - option. quite a few questions about polls - in terms of one from philip i polls — in terms of one from philip questioning about the exit polls, he wants to know if they take into account who votes by post. find wants to know if they take into account who votes by post. and exit toll is account who votes by post. and exit poll is different _ account who votes by post. and exit poll is different to _ account who votes by post. and exit poll is different to the _ account who votes by post. and exit poll is different to the polls - account who votes by post. and exit poll is different to the polls we've i poll is different to the polls we've heard about all through this campaign, and exit poll is what people have done. it's not asking people have done. it's not asking people how they will vote, it's asking what they did do. that actually operates quite in a clever way, with 130 polling stations, you basically get a mock ballot paper as they come out and try that out. that's how that is calculated — obviously we will get the first exit

and her husband, colin, have been disqualified from being charity trustees by the charity commission, the family said in a statement. the ingram moore family said they "fundamentally disagree" with the charity commission's decision to disqualify them, following an investigation. the charity commission opened a case into the captain tom foundation shortly after his death in 2021, and launched an inquiry in june 2022. it came amid concerns about its management and independence from sir tom's family. the statement said, "we fundamentally disagree with the conclusions reached by the charity commission. despite our vehement objections to the disqualification order, we have made the extremely difficult decision not to pursue an appeal. the profound emotional upheaval and financial burden make such to northern ireland now — where a judge has ruled there is sufficient evidence for the former leader of the democratic unionist party, sirjeffrey donaldson, to face trial over historical sex offence charges. he appeared in court in county down this morning, along with his wife, who's also been charged. our ireland correspondent chris page reports.

sirjeffrey donaldson is charged with 18 offences, alleged to have been committed between 1985 and 2008. he's accused of one count of rape, 13 of indecent assault, and four of gross indecency. there are two alleged victims. sirjeffrey�*s wife, lady eleanor donaldson, is facing five charges of aiding and abetting. they appeared before newry magistrates court for a hearing which lasted three minutes. it was held to decide whether there was enough evidence for the case to go to the crown court for a trial. during the proceedings, the accused were asked if they wanted to say anything in respect of the charges. sirjeffrey donaldson replied, "not at this stage". lady eleanor donaldson said no. the districtjudge said he was satisfied there was a case to answer. the date of the next hearing was set for the 10th of september. earlier this year, sirjeffrey donaldson said

in a letter to his former party that he would be strenuously contesting the accusations. people in jamaica people injamaica have been warned to stock up on food and water as hurricane beryl bears down on the island, with winds of up to 150 mph, the hurricane has claimed at least seven lives as it moves through the caribbean. thomas mcgill has more. in grenada, it's a similar story where power lines are down and roofs have been ripped off by the hurricane's deadly force. its prime minister has been assessing the devastation and says the island of character who has been very badly affected. it character who has been very badly

secretary andrew bates saying this was not true, and had the new york times given them a few minutes, they could've publicly said that. you had the deputy campaign manager for president biden saying this is absolutely false, and president biden is in the race to win it. but it hasn't quelled any of the growing concerns about president biden and whether or not he is capable to be the candidate for the democratic party. you mentioned they are what he had said regarding his performance, that he had been jet—lagged, he was travelling everywhere and he had come to the debate — it's been pointed out that president biden had about a week to prepare before the debate, he was at camp david and had come back in time. and i guess certainly for those who are concerned in the democratic party and those outside, its been pointed out every time it's been pointed out every time president biden explains what happened, it kind of exacerbates it even further. you have some very senior democrats — you mentioned

lloyd doggett also announcing, nancy pelosi, jamie raskin, jim clyburn — not all have asked him to stand down, but the others have said they understand the concerns, and i think the fact that they are talking like that says quite a lot. mr biden is due to meet some key governors this evening to reassure them, allies and donors that he's in it to win it. nomia iqbal in washington, thanks very much for now. it is day three in wimbledon, let's catch up with the sports detail and go to gavin. plenty going on at wimbledon. and we'll bring you the latest shortly — but first, what a moment to remember for mark cavendish, who has broken the tour de france record for stage wins this afternoon. cavendish took his 35th victory in cycling's greatest race to surpass the legendary eddy merckx with a sensational sprint finish in saint vulbas. it's expected to be his final tour,

and the 39—year—old burst clear in a dramatic finale to stage five. the historic achievement comes just a year after cavendish suffered a race—ending crash on stage eight, and breaking his collarbone. delight for cavendish — who said he was in disbelief after the win. to wimbledon now — and plenty of second—round matches reaching their conclusion. let's get up to speed with chethan pathak is there. and a great win for sonay kartal — and what tie awaits? what a story this is in wimbledon, ranked 298 in the story, dutch in the world, she becomes the first british female qualifier to reach the final since 1997. she saw off her opponent offer three sets. really incredible from her, and what that means is she'll play coco gauff

next —1 of the contenders, the second seed here, seeing off her opponent 6—2. coco gauff only had... five years on from the incredible win over venus williams, she's a real contender for this title. it is an erotic on a contender for this title? let's take you to court number one where she's playing at the moment, up against olise martin's, and you can see emma raducanu is in charge. she's trying to hit back now with break points she wants to get, but emma raducanu should be positioned here, just catching my eye on the corner of the screen, well—positioned to hopefully see out this and take out a potential lead. nope, she's fighting back a little bit, we'll keep you

updated. i'm going to get through to the men's if i can, because there's quite a lot a lot to cover here, carlos alcaraz is through, the defending champion has seen off alexander lukic. carlos alcaraz came here trying to get a handle on how to play on the grass, we've only had a handful of grass titles earlier. he's looked a bit rusty at times first round and second round, that first round and second round, that first that was a lot closer against the australian who's got a good grass the australian who's got a good gra55 court the australian who's got a good grass court record, the australian who's got a good gra55 court record, but he looks really well—positioned. and a projected semifinal would be against yannick centre, at the top seed who we will see a little bit later on tonight against matteo berrettini. daniel medvedev is having a battle but is through to the next round, and dan evans has gone out. thank ou ve and dan evans has gone out. thank you very much _ and dan evans has gone out. thank you very much indeed, _ and dan evans has gone out. thank you very much indeed, much i you very much indeed, much appreciated for that.

ivan toney admits he was "annoyed" at being brought on during injury time against slovakia, but insists he will take his opportunity if he gets it toney was sent on for his first appearance of euro 2024 in the final seconds of the round of 16 match with the side trailing 1—0. jude bellingham's overhead kick took the game to extra time, before toney provided the headed assist for harry kane's winner. manager gareth southgate said afterwards that toney was "disgusted" at being introduced with a minute to go, but the player himself says he is ready to play any part at the euros. it's always going to be tough, it'll be tough for all of us because like you said, most of us play week income our club, so it's always tough. but i mean, from the beginning of my career, i've gone down this route a few times, as well, being being a sub, and waiting and being patient to come on. sol guess i got to do that again now, and hopefully when i got my opportunity, i can take it. england's women are at the halfway stage of their third and final

one—day international against new zealand in bristol. the match was reduced to 42 overs per side after rain delayed the start and new zealand finished on 211—8 in their innings — lauren bell taking five wickets, including the big one of amelia kerr. england hold an unassailable 2—0 lead in the series. and that's all the sport for now. gavin, thanks very much. now, let's take a look at the latest poll tracker, on its last day of updates. as we approach polling day there are some signs the polls have narrowed slightly, but with rounding, labourstill have a 19 point lead, with conservatives on 21, reform on 16 and lib dems on 11. in the last half hour yougov have released their latest poll. let's speak to patrick english director of political analytics at yougov to hear more about this. welcome to the programme and just tell me a little more about your poll it if the bbc poll tracker?

yes, it certainly does in the final goal of the election which is opening tomorrow spoke to 40,000 over the past couple of weeks and suggested indeed laboured to have a pretty saleable lead edits across the campaign and projecting at the moment we think the estimate will be 431 seats tomorrow and the conservatives 102 its important to express is a lot of uncertainty around these figures and 90 seats of the moment where one party is only five of the other and really, anything can happen and anything from a repeat of 9097 to an even larger record—breaking labour landslide in many things can happen with other pollsters in echoing this, there are pointing in one direction and that is a very significant and substantial labour victory tomorrow.—
