i'm chetan pathak with more from here, wimbledon — where britain's sonay kartal, ranked 298th in the world, is through to the third round to play coco gauff. hello and welcome to the bbc news at six. on the last day of general election campaigning before the polls open at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, political leaders have been criss—crossing the country making their final push for support. the labour leader sir keir starmer has accused the conservatives of what he called "voter suppression". he was speaking after the work and pensions secretary, mel stride, said that the polls suggested labour was heading for the largest majority the country has ever seen. our political editor chris mason has been following the last six weeks of campaigning

and is at westminster tonight. hello, good evening. some things don't change, it was chucking it down six weeks ago and is just about doing the same now. so much for summer 202a. we had that extraordinary twist this morning of a cabinet minister on radio for the day before a general election effectively almost conceding defeat. all of this after all of these weeks of the manifesto launches, here is a smattering of them, there are plenty more besides, we have had the tv debates, we have had foulups, we have had revelations, all of those we brought you about betting, and still in these final hours still more twisting of arms, still more persuasion. six weeks ago it was a bit damp. so this is it, a general election is on. ., ., ., ., ., ,

majority last time round but, as alex explains, is now a labour target. jingle: # bbc radio norfolk! # election polling day tomorrow... early morning and great yarmouth is waking up to the imminent choice facing the country. yeah, i'm getting a lot ofjunk mail. that must be about it. leaflets through the door? oh, yes. reading them? no! the seaside town on the norfolk coast has had its share of challenges. the question now is whether people have been persuaded by the solutions on offer. we will vote. yeah, but whether we will get what we want, i don't know. the seat has echoes of others around the country. it was somewhere the conservatives won pretty comfortable at the last election in 2019, when they fought under the banner of brexit. politically, things look very different now, and it's a sign of labour's ambition through this campaign that they've had their eyes set on seats like this. the political battle that is under

way here hasn't escaped katie. we've had a lot of canvasses around, just in my village. even yesterday we had a leaflet drop of about ten different leaflets. ten!? yes. an expert in animal behaviour, their welfare is her priority. but not the only issue. there's lots of new housing going up, which of course we need. they are not putting the infrastructure in. if i want to get a doctor's appointment, i can't. it does matter. whoever gets in is going to try and do some radical changes. the way people vote here might reflect who ends up in number 10. at the election involves far more than two parties, the presence of reform uk in places like this has set conservative nerves jangling. in fact, across the country the tories have been fighting a defensive campaign. head further south and the party faces another challenge. henley—on—thames, with the royal regatta in full swing this week, has been the epitome of the tory heartlands, and it's the kind of place the lib dems have been targeting.

it hasn't escaped the notice ofjim, who runs a local boating business here. this whole sort of protest vote, if you think of tactical voting, there is a lot of that going on. there has not really been in a sense of people coming forward with their policies and what they are going to do for the country. it doesn't sound like you feel very enthusiastic about this election. no. i wish i did. the liberal democrats have had a very deliberate strategy, targeting seats they think they can win. most of them from the conservatives, and a lot of them here in the south of england. and they are not the only party. the green party has had national messages. but on the ground, they have concentrated their campaign where they think they can have the most impact. just off henley high street, fashion retailer lawrence is still weighing up the options. to be honest, i actually don't know which way i'm going to go. still undecided? still undecided. i don't think any party has got the answer to every problem.

if you had to sum up how you're feeling this election campaign in one word, what would it be? haphazard. and if politics is the art of persuasion, this campaign is in the final stretch. alex forsyth, bbc news. and there's a full list of candidates standing in all the constitutencies, including great yamouth and henley and thame, on our website, bbc.co.uk/news. over the last six weeks we have been following the campaigns in all nations of the uk. now on the eve polling day james cook, hywel griffith and sara girvin share their thoughts on what issues lie at the heart of the election in scotland, wales and northern ireland. the snp has dominated politics in scotland for years. now, under its new leader john swinney, it's battling to hold onto seats here in the central belt, where labour are hopeful of making gains. the conservatives, they are defending seats along the border and in the north—east their scottish leader announced his resignation during the campaign. and the lib dems are focusing on mostly rural areas. as i've crisscrossed the country,

voters have been telling me they are concerned about the cost of living, the state of public services and the pace of the shift from oil and gas to renewable energy. there's been a row about rishi sunak�*s decision to call the election during the scottish school holidays, with some voters disenfranchised because they haven't received their postal ballots in time. and in the background, as always, there's been the issue of the constitution, with brexit and independence both arousing strong emotions. the conservatives had their best result in decades in wales in the last election. this time, it's a fight for survival, trying to avoid the total wipeout they experienced here in 1997 and 2001. it may not have helped to have had to suspend a candidate just a couple of weeks ago because of the betting scandal. over the campaign, labour's had to defend its record in power in wales at the senedd, in particular long nhs waiting lists and the first minister, vaughan gething, losing a vote of no confidence here. but the polls suggest

they are still on course to win the lion's share of seats. boundary changes mean there are fewer of those up for grabs, down from a0 to 32 seats this time. for small parties like plaid cymru, that limits their ambitions to two, three, maybe four seats. arguably for them and reform, this campaign has been more about wooing voters ahead of the next senedd elections in 2026. the possibility of a future referendum on irish unity, the outworkings of brexit, how northern ireland is funded and the instability of devolved government have all featured heavily. and it's already school holiday time here, which may affect voter turnout. now, there are 18 seats up for grabs. last time, the democratic unionist party took eight, sinn fein followed closely behind with seven, the social democratic and labour party took two, and the alliance party had won. massive changes are not expected. but if the dup loses any ground, it could lead to sinn fein, who want a united ireland,

taking the lead. they are already the biggest party at assembly and council level, they will want to make it a hat—trick at westminster. if they manage it, it will lead to inevitable debate about the constitutional future of this place. it may all come down to one or two seats, but in northern ireland even small changes can shape the big picture. once the votes have been cast, the results will come through overnight tomorrow, into the early hours of friday. 0ur deputy political editor vicki young is here to talk us through some of the key things to look out for. this is the electoral map made up of 650 constituencies. boundaries have altered since the last election to reflect population changes. a party needs 326 seats to win a majority in the house of commons. now here's a reminder of the party leaders who fought the 2019 election. they've all been replaced apart from nigel farage who returned

at the start of this campaign. and this was the result of the last election. borisjohnson, promising to get brexit done, won with an 80—seat majority and jeremy corbyn led labour to its worst result since 1935. the tories made significant gains in the so—called red wall. these were places that in many cases had voted labour for generations. across a swathe of england from northumberland to lancashire, through the black country and lincolnshire, labour strongholds turned blue. these are the seats keir starmer is hoping to recapture. in the south of england there's a different battle. rishi sunak is trying to fend off the liberal democrats in what they've dubbed the blue wall, places where the lib dems came second to the tories last time, a corridor stretching from south—west london through the home counties to the south west. and what about the battle in scotland?

the snp won 48 of the 59 seats up for grabs making them westminster�*s third largest party. labour were reduced to just one seat but are confident that they can benefit from recent snp scandals. in northern ireland 18 seats are up for grabs. the democratic unionist party won the most in the last general election but other parties are hoping to change that this time. sinn fein is currently the largest party at stormont and aims to repeat that success tomorrow although their mps don't take their seats in the house of commons. in wales, labour lost ground to the tories last time but now it's conservatives fearing losses. meanwhile plaid cymru are hoping to hold on, or gain, in the west and north of wales. for smaller parties like the greens and reform uk it can be difficult to translate their votes into seats but both will be hoping to have a voice in the commons after the election. if you still have questions ahead of tomorrow's election, head to the bbc news website and app where you'll find details

of candidates in your area, guides to party manifestos, interviews with party leaders and links to the recent debates across the bbc. let's go back to chris who's in westminster. it is nearly polling day, how do you sum up where we are tonight? this will be a sum up where we are tonight? t�*u 3 will be a landmark election. why do i say that? well, no party in modern times has won five elections in a row. that is the brutal truth that conference rishi sunak tonight. there is a brutal truth too for keir starmer and labour. labour there is a brutal truth too for keir starmerand labour. labourare there is a brutal truth too for keir starmer and labour. labour are world beaters after losing elections. it is 19 years since they last won a general election. so, something has to give. the conservatives expect to lose. labour expect to win. 0ne lose. labour expect to win. one final big thought as well tonight,

ahead of tomorrow. park for a moment the cynicism, the indifference, the frustration and the anger you might have. picture in your mind a map of the world. the huge swathes of the globe where the right to choose who governs you simply does not exist. tomorrow, just like in 2019 and other elections before then, via lots of individual decisions in polling stations, that decision will be taken. it is imperfect, as democracy, but it can be magical. and it's over to you now to decide. chris, thanks so much for now. now to the us election, because the new york times is reporting tonight thatjoe biden has told one of his allies that he's weighing up whether to continue in the race for the presidency. mr biden has faced criticism of his performance in a tv debate with donald trump last week. 0ur north america editor sarah

smith is in washington. what are you hearing tonight? well, the white house _ what are you hearing tonight? well, the white house are _ what are you hearing tonight? h the white house are pushing back against that story, saying that the idea thatjoe biden is worried he cannot salvage his chances in this race is totally false. but that is not going to quell the growing fears that there are inside the democratic party. there are other stories appearing, again from anonymous sources, saying that in recent meetings they have seenjoe biden losing his train of thought and struggling to finish a sentence. 0nly struggling to finish a sentence. only one democratic lawmaker has so far gone public saying that he should step down. but dozens more are ready to do so if in the next few days he cannot convince voters that he is up to the job. because polling suggests nearly three quarters of people now think he is not fit to be president. while you have the biden campaign insisting he is definitely going to carry on, the party has not been very impressed

with his attempts to try to resolve the situation. he did appear on live television, and gave a brief statement on monday night. he is meeting other democratic governors today to try to reassure them. many of them think that should have happened a lot earlier and it is the same story with senior lawmakers on the hill. he needs to recover the situation quickly. he is giving an interview to abc television which we will air on sunday interview to abc television which we willair on sunday in interview to abc television which we will air on sunday in full, that will air on sunday in full, that will be watched by his party very closely, and by the electorate. our top story this evening: ahead of tomorrow's election, the leaders of all the main parties have been travelling the country, making their final appeal for votes. and still to come... here at wimbledon, news of andy murray with emma raducanu, an of andy murray with emma raducanu, exceptional as an exceptional day for sonay kartal as well. coming up on bbc news — a moment to remember for mark cavendish, who makes

history at the tour de france by breaking the record for stage wins after a chaotic sprint finish in saint—vulbas. over the last six weeks we've been hearing from bbc reporters about how the election campaign has been playing out across the uk, from shetland to newquay, from dungannon to the norfolk coast. so, for the last time in this election, let's find out the mood in two areas. tristan pascoe is on portland in dorset. and first let's go to the west midlands and emma thomas who's in walsall. this is a brand—new constituency in both name and shape. it is made up of roughly half of the former seat of roughly half of the former seat of walsall north, which going into the election had a conservative mp, and half of walsall south, which had

and half of walsall south, which had a labour mp. infact, it had and half of walsall south, which had a labour mp. in fact, it had elected labour mps and the writing 70s, while walsall north was a fairly recent conservative game. it points to it being a key labour target. at the recent results in the local elections offer a challenge to that. the conservatives somewhat bucked the trend by keeping control of the borough council, and in the west midlands mayoral elections, while a labour candidate won in the region, here in walsall borough it was the conservative that got the most votes. that might give them some confidence. it's also worth mentioning that reform's mayoral candidate is now the parliamentary candidate is now the parliamentary candidate here and she secured the third largest proportion of the votes in walsall borough. so it could split the vote and have an impact, on who becomes the next mp. emma, thank you. let's go to portland in dorset.— portland in dorset. yes, good evenin: portland in dorset. yes, good evening from _

banned from being charity trustees or senior managers. the regulator the charity commission took the decision after investigating the foundation they'd set up in honour of sir tom, who raised almost £39 million for the nhs by walking laps of his garden during the covid pandemic. chi chi izundu is with me: what has been going on, what has the charity commission said? the foundation was _ charity commission said? tue: foundation was set charity commission said? tte: foundation was set up charity commission said? t"t2 foundation was set up in charity commission said? tt2 foundation was set up in captain tom's name after he walked 100 laps of his garden in 2020 during lockdown. we must stress the £39 million that he raised was managed by the nhs charities and is not

under investigation. he sadly passed away at the age of 120 21. in 2022, the charity commission opened an inquiry over worries about management and independence from sir tom's family. the foundation said it was going to stop asking people to donate because it wanted to make sure it cooperated fully with the ongoing inquiry with the charity commission. the charity confirmed it issued a just vilification order in may and it kicked in at the end of june. it disqualified hannah ingram—moore and her husband, colin ingram, for 8—10 years respectively because the legal test was met for misconduct and or mismanagement. they say the individuals are not fit to be trustees or hold senior management functions, and disqualification is in the public interest. we must stress that the commission of inquiry is still ongoing. in a statement, the family said that it fundamentally disagreed with the conclusions of the commission. despite the option to

appeal, the family said they made the difficult decision not to, because the profound upheaval and emotional burden made such a course of action on hannibal. they added that they fully cooperated with the commission at all times and had never accessed or made any payments from the charity's bank account while independent trustees have maintained full control over the charity finances since its inception. the british cyclist mark cavendish has broken the record for stage wins at the tour de france. the sprint specialist won stage 5 this afternoon, breaking the legendary eddy merx�*s record. cavendish now has 35 stage wins. contesting what is expected to be his final tour, the 39—year—old burst clear in a dramatic finish. it's been announced that andy murray will play in the mixed doubles at wimbledon alongside emma radacanu. the news came the day after he pulled out of the singles. joe wilson has been

watching the day's action. rain delays inspire the best of wimbledon. technique, strength, courage. but for hours on the outside courts, not much tennis. in this gloom broke the uplifting news that andy murray would be partnering emma raducanu. he called her, she said yes. the dream mixed doubles. we don't get the opportunity to do it loads. so i think the fans always really enjoy it when its two players that they know, and want to get behind. yeah, it should be a brilliant atmosphere, in the matches we play. notice he says matches, plural. in his final wimbledon, murray still plays to win. sonay kartalfrom brighton, wearing the cap here, has completed two victories and they rival any in the championship this year. in the first round, she beat a seed. this time, it was world number 45 clara burel. sonay kartal is ranked 298 in the world. she has overcome injury and illness. she's done it! next she will play coco gauff.

determination deserves reward. now, emma raducanu had singles matters to attend to, her second round opponents, elise mertens, is in fact a doubles specialist. she couldn't reach that. raducanu's shotmaking, her athleticism, all looking strong as she took the first set, 6—1. a reminder, her best tennis is as good as anyone's. raducanu was so good, she just wrapped up the second set of 6—2. if i turn my attention to court one, she is talking to the crowd, bowed to some autographs. a seriously impressive win injust to some autographs. a seriously impressive win in just one hour 15 minutes against the top ranked doubles player in the world. it would quickly turn our attention to tomorrow, in terms of british interest, it will be the murray

brothers. time for a look at the weather, here's louise lear. a quick update on hurricane beryl, it still remains a dangerous category four storm, expected to push and make landfall across jamaica almost any moment now. and thenit jamaica almost any moment now. and then it will continue to drive its way westwards across the cayman isles, and eventually making it over towards the yucatan peninsula and close to cantering. a very significant storm continues, the hurricane warnings have been issued here. it kind of puts our weather story in context. we are all moaning about where summer has gone, but yes it has been pretty dull and dismal, but not significantly dangerous. across the uk, it is all to do with the jet stream that is sitting right across us at the moment, the jet stream responsible for driving in areas of low pressure. no surprise to see there is one centred just to
