donald trump and joe biden are making a dash around battleground states in the last days of campaigning before tuesday's presidential election. joe biden, the democratic candidate, has a solid national lead in the polls, but this advantage is narrower in key states which could decide the result. the british government has warned the new lockdown in england might last longer than a month if infection rates continue to rise. strict measures come into force on thursday, when pubs, restaurants, gyms, non—essential shops, and places of worship will close, but schools, colleges and universities can stay open. rescue work is continuing in collapsed buildings in the western turkish city of izmir following an earthquake on friday. 69 people are known to have died, and more than 200 are being treated in hospital. hopes of finding more suvivors in the rubble are diminishing.

police officers were attacked as they tried to break up an illegal rave near bristol. it's thought there were up to 700 people there. the site was eventually cleared around 3 o'clock on sunday afternoon — 17 hours after it began. lee maddun reports. police had to call for backup quickly as this illegal halloween rave turned hostile. offices had reports of ignited aerosols being sprayed towards aerosols being sprayed towards aerosol surrealist significant violence that put officers at risk, necessitating their being fully equipped in protective equipment with shields. will be walked up to the police to ask what was going on, and he shoved his shield to my face andl shoved his shield to my face and i fell backwards to bite are you surprised by that? no. police told me they stand by their actions and point out there rave was illegal, putting eve ryo ne there rave was illegal, putting everyone at risk. they executed

the appropriate tactics to clear the building using officers with shields and dogs. what was the reason you decided to ta ke what was the reason you decided to take part in the rave knowing it was against the law? to have a good time. because it was halloween and we wanted to party and have fun. people living nearby say that these roads have been blocked all day with taxis picking up people from the event. the electricity supply was switched off at one point but it was a tactic that did not work because those inside had their own power generators and the music continued. several arrests have now been made meanwhile in bristol city centre, a firework is thrown, officers duck for cover, what appears to have been hit in what was a night of violence. now on bbc news, as america votes for its next president, clive myrie visits the crucial state of arizona, revealing a nation unable to agree on fundamental issues like race, immigration and how best to tackle covid—i9.

from cowboys to covid, clive crosses a vast state getting under the skin of the things that divide and unite americans. a warning — this programme contains some distressing images. music: this is america by childish gambino. america isn'tjust a place. it's an idea. and the enduring power of the american dream is that it's universal. the craving for a better life. i'm the last mohican. donald trump said the dream was dying and he'd make america great again. i know that we will win! they want to rob you of your hope. but how great is america now as trump seeks re—election? the guy in the white house right now is crazier than a loon. welcome to arizona, america's backyard with mexico and a state threatening to swing to the democrats in the presidential election after backing donald trump in 2016.

here, the issues of immigration... the worst of the worst is coming to this area... ..on race... the heart of people have held on to relics of the past. ..and covid—i9. people dying here in the camp? yeah. yeah, every day. gunshot # this is america #. they all highlight america's deep divide as voters choose between two very different visions for the country's future. i've been reporting from america for almost a quarter of a century. and i've never known it so divided. left and right, republican and democrat, consensus is fleeting. and when it comes to the fiery issue of illegal immigration and what to do about it, the gap between liberals

and conservatives is as wide as the rio grande. but how best to protect what it means to be american? is an impregnable barrier a good option? build the wall! the biggest beneficiary maybe happens to be arizona. that wall, how good is the wall? it is the iconic idea of trump's america. and this... cowboys and big skies, part of the iconography of america. all right, all right, guys, 0k. bill mcdonald's ranch in arizona is just a few miles from the border with mexico. illegal immigration and drug trafficking are live issues here, yet for him, a republican, billions spent on a border wall is a waste of money. people think, well,

you build a wall, you've solved a problem. they've already got saws that cut through that wall. you can do it with technology and do it just as well. it's political, he made a promise, he was determined to keep it. he thought, if he kept it, he'd get re—elected. it's the only reason he does anything. i'm not crazy about everybody that crosses the border, but i'm not crazy about everybody that already lives here either. i mean, there are good people and bad people in all stripes. you can't characterise people by where they come from. it takes a few hours to sort the calves for sale, headed for oklahoma. they'll never see their mothers again, but that's business. activists say over 500 children remain separated from theirfamilies... building a big wall was only part of the plan. critics in congress and human rights groups claimed migrants were being treated like cattle under donald trump's zero—tolerance child separation policy to deter illegal migration. eventually, his administration was forced to change course.

but secure borders are a necessity. we saw drug cartel spotters across the wall in mexico, checking if the coast is clear to send over human mules. these ones went that way, so yesterday i followed these guys... tim foley often spots them too, videoing the mules camouflaged with their backpacks of drugs. from his remote base in southern arizona, he leads a group of armed volunteers that patrols the border. is the wall making america great again? it's making it safer. tim represents a strain of american patriotism donald trump tapped into, giving up everything he knew in san francisco to come to arizona. why are you involved? what is it about this situation that gets you angry? i didn't trust the government or the media to tell the actual truth of what was going on. some apple sauce... but what is the truth?

there's another group of volunteers on the border. they're from a charity that leaves water and food supplies for people crossing over from mexico, asylum seekers fleeing persecution and migrant families with children reaching for a better life. they also help families find relatives who've gone missing crossing the border. so, what are the kinds of things that you come across on the trails? many times, we find remains, skeletal remains of border ci’ossei’s. you also see clothes and abandoned shoes. you know, evidence of a person's life. so, you see wedding rings... you see love letters, a lot of rosaries, a lot of bibles. we also see cosmetic products thrown in the desert, deodorant, lipsticks, and you wonder why bring those artefacts along? and it's...

many times, migrants want to leave meet their loved ones with, you know, smelling good and looking presentable after a long journey. in this one area, the remains of 181 people have been found this year. you see young... young people, old people, you see everybody. and you see the families. the families just reach out to us, desperately looking for their loved one. it's an unimaginable pain and anguish. you have the waterjugs sitting over here... often, gia and tim's worlds collide. and there's one thing they both agree on. what's the tattoo? one of the horsemen of the apocalypse. it's what i see is coming, it's...

it's my view of the border. there is death all around. donald trump's wall speaks to us all. like a mirror, it reflects back to us oui’ own values. but when it comes to race, america has always failed to really look itself in the eye, to understand its shortcomings. and after november 3rd, we're not going to rest. because no matter who wins over there or out here, we have a lot of work to do... it's hard to steer a middle course in modern america. the loudest voices... the united states will never be a socialist nation. ..force the taking of sides. black lives matter! i cannot breathe! on race and discrimination, the conversation is insanely partisan and painfully deep.

the unfortunate roots, the dark roots of our country, the dark side of our country is really starting to show itself. and that's because of this election because there's just so much divide right now, so much divisiveness, there's a lot of tension. i believe... the election comes amid a reawakening of black activism not seen since the 1960s. i know that we will win! you know, we the people... and with a third of all american voters being non—white, how will these new civil rights foot soldiers cast potentially decisive ballots as they fight for a more equal and just america? and it hurt... we tried to reform the police after rodney king... bruce franks cuts the stillness of the evening in phoenix, arizona. the light is dimming but not the memory of those beaten or killed at the hands

of police officers. his words are powerful poetic rage. ..those demands today because we are not going nowhere... he was arrested in august for taking part in a peaceful civil rights march. because he's innocent... and now he leads a protest outside the courthouse after the jailing of another protester. when we fight, we're building our legacy. fighting a battle in a war where you'll never get to see the outcome but if i continue to fight, hopefully that passes along to my five kids. and if they continue to fight, it passes along to their kids. and it get to a point where maybe we can. do you think the election will change anything? i think the election has the power to change a lot of things. i'm not doing cartwheels for either candidate. but i understand that it'sjust not about the candidates.

we are voting on entire administrations. so, when we talk about change, we have the chance to change what our affordable housing looks like around the united states if we get somebody like cory booker as the hud secretary rather than ben carson. we have the idea of changing what education looks like if we get somebody like elizabeth warren in there instead of betsy devos, right? we got the chance to change what criminaljustice looks like if we put mickey mouse in there rather than barr orjeff sessions. you know, we got the ability to change a lot of these judges who are appointed federally by the president throughout the united states, who perpetuate mass incarceration, who perpetuate all the problems with the systems where we know

that disparity there, we know what the folks injail look like. we know where they come from. so, those are my hopes for the election. why are you doing this?! until then, this is what must be overcome. before george floyd in 2017, there was muhammad muhaymin here in arizona. the unarmed black man died after being held down by four police officers, one of whom put his knee on his neck, for close to eight minutes. i cannot breathe! no one was disciplined. and you're only hearing about this case now because of the controversy over george floyd. and it was in this area where he was pinned down and was clearly heard to say, "i can't breathe." he knows that his life is about to be taken from him and he knows... jazlyn is 21 and part of a new younger breed of civil rights activist spurred

by the urgency of the moment. it makes me feel like my life can be taken at any given time just because i have brown skin, because i'm black. because since i was a little girl, i've seen the way black people in america and just all over the world are treated, it's a really unsettling state of mind to live in. please do your research, please don't be discouraged... and that psychological distress, central to the black american experience will be tolerated no more. use your voice or your fingers for your typing to create change. that's important. not far away, a reunion. a proud father embraces a relieved son who is fresh out of jail. his name is percy christian, he is 27. jail is a place where they want to rob you of your hope... the subject of the courthouse protest to get him freed.

he served seven days arrested during a demonstration against police violence. i'm willing to do whatever it takes. i'm willing to put my life on the line to bring awareness to the issue. and that's that police brutality is real. that's that our police system is up and designed to hold a certain group of individuals back — and that is my people. and what are the dreams of the father, a pastor having seen his son fight the same battles he fought years ago? why has it taken so long? because the hearts of people have held on to relics of the past that remind them of the system that they wanted to hold onto. recently in our nation the confederate flag became

a issue again. and you ask yourself the question and this is another thing. why are there people in this nation determined to hold on to an emblem of something that represents hatred and slavery? the battle hasn't changed. but the playing field has changed, the platform has changed, the process has changed. what has happened is that there is a denial of the reality that people of colour experience in this nation. and so, we are proud of our son. i would not be ok if he decided to shrink back. he can't shrink back now. gentle tales of african—american manhood rarely reported but they are the norm.

and while both the candidates for president say they want to banish racial injustice, bruce franks says he will not wait for others to act. his own son's future is on the line. i want a lot of the things that's happened with police when you talk about police and black men, black women, i don't want that affecting him although we know it is inevitable, right? ijust got to make sure he's equipped for it and he ready for it. i'm not fearful because i teach him how to love and what love is and how to have love for his people. while many african—americans feel marginalised, perhaps no community is more on the fringes of society than the native americans. and their battle, their trials with covid—19, the pre—eminent election issue is revealing of an america that many believe has lost its way.

in our culture, as a navajo, as a native american, it's something we're not supposed to even do to deal with death. but dealing with death is michael begay‘s calling in the worst corner of the worst country for covid—19. with covid patients we normally don't embalm, we usuallyjust keep them in the body bag. an undertaker, he prepares

bodies for burial on the navajo lands of northern arizona. numbers are going up again so we are preparing for another influx of bodies. living in the largest of the native american territories, the navajo have suffered more coronavirus deaths per head of population than any of the 50 states of the union, many hundreds of people. there was that point when i went into our storage unit and i just saw all those bodies laying there and i knew two of them. it was a hard time for me. knowing that those people are laying there, people that i know, and they are here because of covid, it was heartbreaking. and a good friend of mine, his son died of covid. and i have known him since he was a little boy. and i got the phone call, i was talking to him on the phone and ijust

told him, "i can't imagine what you're going through." i have known him since he was a child. and we both cried on the phone together. americans say their land is blessed by god. now, it's cursed by covid—19. and there is seemingly no clear strategy to end its hold on the land. navajo nation is one of the poorest parts of america and mask mandates and curfews were introduced early in the pandemic. but the virus had already taken hold and with few health care facilities, many were left at covid's mercy. but that's the american story. that despite its untold riches,

millions always a struggle. this is tent city in phoenix. thousands homeless, someone losing theirjobs due to the pandemic, are now losing their lives. meet james wright. he is 62. pity would be no more if we didn't make somebody poon social distancing is tough in tent city. # macho, macho man...#. it's tough here, too, at this trump rally. but why? thank you, thank you, what a crowd!

we scrupulously kept our distance and wore masks at this gathering in tucson. but in this deeply polarised country, wearing or not wearing a face covering has become a political statement. this is chris and his family. so, do you enjoy the atmosphere at the rally yesterday? we did. but the pandemic is still out there. that didn't worry you, being with all those people yesterday? no. it didn't bother me one bit. if donald trump said everyone should wear a mask, he is following the science, you would do it? reluctantly i would, probably. do you think it is un—american to be forced to wear a mask? i do. i think it's un—american to force anybody to do something that — there is no medical reason if you are not sick. there has been a conflict in all of us during this time and perhaps more so here in the land of the free.

individualism versus collective responsibility. it is part of our culture, to take care of each other. it is always the natives that are wearing masks and you see that and a lot of non—natives are not that diligent but we as a people are. so, this is really at the start of covid, we opened this area here. in navajo nation, they had to build a new cemetery to take all the dead. and this is one of your close friends? covid is why he is laying here. i always think it shouldn't have happened. the presidential election is above all a referendum on donald trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic and arizona's vote can swing the result — it is america in miniature with extremes of landscape

and temperature, poverty and wealth. and the people we encountered on ourjourney across the state represent all that is american. kindness, generosity, determination, and grit. this country's leader has a duty to represent everyone, not cherry pick and that means understanding the patchwork of cultures and ideas and ethnicities that make up this great nation. and the sensibilities of those on the right and the left. the winner of the presidential election will be the candidate who understands that focusing on what unites rather than divides is all that really matters. guiding this country to a better shore reachable from here.

hello. there is some drier, colder weather to come in the week ahead. but before then, still some rain in the forecast courtesy of this frontal system continuing on itsjourney south and eastwards through the early hours of monday morning. ahead of this, still some very mild air — so temperatures not much lower than 15—16 celsius across south east england, and the cloud and rain will clear from here through the morning. behind that, we will all see some spells of sunshine, but also plenty of showers — these most frequent across southern scotland into northern ireland, northern england, north wales, and may well merge to give a longer spell of rain. nowhere is immune from a heavy, blustery shower. the winds are quite strong across the southern half of the uk, still exceeding 50 mph across southern and western coasts, a little bit lighter than they have been further north. but it will be a cooler—feeling day, 9—11! celsius after that mild start across the east anglia and south east england, the

temperatures falling away through the day. we keep outbreaks of rain going as we go through the night, tending to become more showery the further north you are full some persistent rain moving into parts of southern england. elsewhere, some clear skies, leading to a colder night than recently — 4—7 celsius the overnight low. so through tuesday and into wednesday, it is still a messy picture with the rain to clear way from south east england, still some showers around. but what is noticeable is that colder air starting to spread across the uk and, by the time we get to wednesday morning, it's the return of overnight frost. let's take a closer look at tuesday. still that rain to clear away from east anglia and southeast england, could be heavy for a time. elsewhere, it's a day of sunshine and showers, and those showers most frequent the further north and west you are — some could well escape with a mainly dry day. wind is still quite brisk at first, particularly for western coasts, but they will be tending to ease as the day wears on. so where you've got the sunshine on and out of the wind, even though temperatures won't get much higher than 9—11 celsius, should feel pleasant enough in the sunshine. now as you go through tuesday night and into wednesday, this is where we start to see this area of high pressure building and from the southwest. notice how the isobars become more spaced apart.

the winds will fall lighter, most will have clear skies, and we will wake up on wednesday morning for some sunshine but also a frost, and potentially some mist and fog, as well, that will become more prevalent as we go through thursday and friday. so generally for the week ahead, once we've got tuesday out of the way, wednesday through friday for most are looking dry with some sunshine. but it will be feeling much colder, both by day and by night. goodbye.
