was supposed to be flat, but stage was supposed to be flat, but here it is never flat. stage was supposed to be flat, but here it is neverflat. after this you can feel it in your legs. it was a long time in the breakaway. so i'm happy that i could make it. ? in second her team mate marian vos and in seventh the leading british rider, alice barnes. it is one of five days, the rest will be tough. we have some tough races. but yes, i can look forward to it. from here in kettering, the northamptonshire leg is over. the tour finishes in kettering, the northamptonshire leg is over. the tourfinishes in london at the end of the week. and high winds have postponed the two races

in today's americas cup. wind speeds of more than 2a knots have stopped racing in bermuda. and we finish with football tonight and some strange goings—on in the bulgarian league play—off between fc vereya and levski sofia. a fan threw a beer can onto the field only for one of the players ivan bandalovski to take a swig. apparantly it did the trick for the defender who promptly went upfield and scored a stoppage—time equaliser which took the match into extra—time. perhaps vereya needed a few more cans as they lost 9—8 on penalties, handing levski a place in next season's europa league. to recap, andy murray is into the semi—finals, but defeat for the british and irish lions in new zealand. more later on tonight.

now back to birmingham where theresa may has made herfinal speech now back to birmingham where theresa may has made her final speech of the election campaign. we were bringing you that speech before the sport. now to our political correspondent ben wright. what was her final message to the voters? the same as it has been for weeks. a lot of refrains and phrases were familiar to us all. i think we may have heard about strong and stable leadership. perhaps for the final time. she wa nted perhaps for the final time. she wanted to bring this back and again and again to brexit of course. arguing that there will be this huge political drama that unfolds days after the general election and in her view it is a choice between her

and jeremy corbyn as to who the prime minister will be to deal with brussels and get a deal. she is arguing again tonight that only she has a plan for delivering brexit, taking britain out of single market and doing new deals with others. we are familiar with what the conservatives are arguing. boris johnson was the warm up act and he has had a more prominent role, a sign they need to up the tempo, give it some grunt and rally the carbon dioxide. —— rally the crowds. boris johnson was more personal about jeremy corbyn, raising his past relationship with sinn fein and theresa may did not. he made it a more optimistic sunny picture of life for britain after brexit. and i think that is what she left people

here wanting to feel. talking too about, trying to make britain a fairer country. that was the message. it was quite brief. it was the last rally of the campaign. but her speech didn't last more than ten minutes. thank you very much. that is ben wright who has been following the prime minister. now the election has been dominated by security issues after the terror attacks in london and manchester. today it is final day of campaigning has seen party leaders returning to their core messages. foi’ party leaders returning to their core messages. for the conservatives, brexit and the economy and for the labour party the nhs and schools. my colleague has been looking at each of the main parties' commitments in the economy, health and housing. have you made up your mind? here is a guide to the policies the parties are setting

out. first the economy, it is always the economy stupid. maybe not this time. the conservatives say they will balance the budgets by 2025 and will balance the budgets by 2025 and will stick with plans to raise personal tax allowances and cuts to corporation tax. labour say they will inject £250 billion into the economy over ten years. there will be no increase in personal national insurance, but a top rate of 50 pence and higher income tax for those who earn over £80,000. if there is a hung parliament, the snp would support plans to balance the budget over five to seven years and pledge to protect the low paid, but there would be a top rate of pence. and the liberal democrats have, everybody would spend extra on income tax and they will inject an

extra £100 billion into infrastructure, house building, broadband and schools. now the devolved issue, health. ukip would give the nhs an extra £9 billion a year. this was there in 2015. cracking down on foreign nationals who are not eligible to use if the —— the who are not eligible to use if the -- the nhs. who are not eligible to use if the —— the nhs. labour would commit £30 billion in funding over the next parliament. this is a key one, they would guarantee access to nhs treatment within 18 weeks. the tories would increase spending by £8 billion over the course of the next parliament up to 2023. and the liberal democrats we have seen that, but this is important, ensuring mental health care is similar to the standard in physical health care. and housing, rent controls, a big

issue for younger voters, the green party makes commitments on that. the conservatives say they would build fixed term council houses that could be sold after 15 years. labour say they will again control rent rises and they're promising to build at least 100,000 council and they're promising to build at least 100 , 000 council houses and they're promising to build at least 100,000 council houses a year. and the liberal democrats, 300,000 new each homes each year. all the ma nifesto new each homes each year. all the manifesto are there on the web—site. now let's look at the weather for election day. the weather today was certainly a lot better than yesterday, but this fine of spell of weather has not lasted long. in many western areas it has clouded over and we have rain splashing through. most isn't too heavy and for many

tonight will be damp and the heaviest rain will fall across the hills of wales. mild as well. 13 or 14 hills of wales. mild as well. 13 or 1a in the south. scotland where it will be dry and clear, particularly in the north, it will only be six degrees. tomorrow this cloud will roll across the uk. so an over cast day and it could be heavy in northern ireland, perhaps some of these north western areas. further south the rain will be lighter and some areas in the south—east may get a dry day. friday, the weather will improve with sunshine and it will feel warmer. hello and welcome to one hundred days plus. we have two important stories for you — in the uk campaigning in the snap election ends today and the country prepares to vote. and in washington, intelligence officials testify in the senate refusing to say for now if donald trump interfered with the russia investigation.

theresa may says the question now is the same as it was at the beginning of the campaign. it's all about the leader. who do you trust to actually have the strong and stable leadership that is going to deliver the best dealfor britain in europe? jeremy corbyn has addressed more than 80 rallies — he says britain faces a clear choice — cuts or no cuts. five more years of tory cuts, longer waiting lists, underfunded schools in many parts of the country and hope under labour.
