3:31 pm
that she had run. talked about transgender operations going all over the place, he said, and they talked about kamala harris wanting to defunding the police and her views on the fracking. then keeling the democrats to the two assassination attempt is made on him over recent months. that isjust a sense on him over recent months. that is just a sense of some of what we heard from donald trump. your headline thoughts. you've really captured _ your headline thoughts. you've really captured their— your headline thoughts. you've really captured their very - your headline thoughts. you've really captured their very well | really captured their very well in terms of this was his greatest hits that we've seen for many years interestingly the first few sentences that mentioned borders and inflation. two of the key issues in those battleground states. very much here he was speaking to a targeted audience, he also mentioned fracking and spoke again directly to the people of pennsylvania where fracking is
3:32 pm
a key issue. at so one big ad from the election very targeted speech from donald trump because contrary to what he said, he isn't ahead of all of those seven states in the polling. so far, as we can trust what they're telling us, it is a dead heat. it is a statistical tie in the states. both of the candidates are trying to target very niche specific demographics to give themselves over the line. it themselves over the line. it was really interesting to see that nil section where he accused kamala harris of a campaign of hate because so many of his critics talk about the way he projects, he accuses other people of what he's actually doing.— other people of what he's actually doing. absently. he was merely _ actually doing. absently. he was merely echoing - actually doing. absently. he was merely echoing lines . actually doing. absently. he - was merely echoing lines appear from kamala harris herself and from kamala harris herself and from other members of the democratic party that they are accusing donald trump of a campaign of hate. they use that kind of language, she has moved to a talking point saying that
3:33 pm
donald trump has essentially has a hit list for when he gets into office. of enemies that he wants to hold accountable and seek retribution against where she is presenting herself as a having a to—do list. the fact that this press conference that donald trump is holding in malaga and i will say they have labelled it a press conference that they have said that they would be taking questions it is just donald trump making a speech. we wait and see if that is indeed what happens. he had labelled the theme, kamala harris broke it and he will fix it. as we heard, we haven't yet heard anything from donald trump in terms of how he intends to fix this. using very emotive language like bloodshed and squalor when he's talking about american cities, chaos about american cities, chaos about the rest of the words, people are being blown up all the better to burn up. so, it is a very dark picture that is being painted of america and of the world. one difference there will be heard from from what we heard in the last few days is that he had taken to describing
3:34 pm
america as a garbage bin or a trash or a rubbish bin especially but he did say there that we have to save america, it is the greatest country there is. he is trying to flip that around into a bit more positivity as well because this campaign has become quite negative on both sides. just a final thought _ negative on both sides. just a final thought because - negative on both sides. just a final thought because we - negative on both sides. just a final thought because we are | negative on both sides. just a| final thought because we are a week out, of course, we've been talking about the polls and the fact they have become much more squeezed and much tighter. he started by talking about the seven swing states. you said an interesting thing, about polling and perhaps areas that the polls sometimes miss. what are those areas?— are those areas? well, the key thing about _ are those areas? well, the key thing about pools _ are those areas? well, the key thing about pools of— are those areas? well, the key thing about pools of courses i thing about pools of courses that they are look back. they are asking people what they think and by the time we get the results within a couple of days later, you have to that in mind that there are two key demographics. one, the issue of
3:35 pm
young people. it seemed both parties really trying to hard to energise young people but can be mobilise them? can i get them to actually cast their votes? traditionally, as a group of people that perhaps don't vote so much as older people do and in particular with heard a lot of opinion polls this time around young people just feeling really checked out. not having love for either candidate. that is one group we don't know how they're going to vote if indeed they're going to vote if indeed they differed. secondly, republican women. this sense, kamala harris and a member of congress and also george w bush the daughter of barbara bush on the daughter of barbara bush on the campaign trailfor the daughter of barbara bush on the campaign trail for kamala harris as well. so, what the democrats are hoping for is that there is a significant cohort of republican women who will not tell any post is that they're voting for kamala harris who want to tell their partners, will tell their pastor or anyone in a confessional box, they will
3:36 pm
ticket to he goes but they're hoping they'll go into the ballot box and tick the kamala harris. republican all the rest away. we are talking about such tiny margins, with just a handful of states, that could be the difference to tip the sofa for kamala harris. at least, that is what the democrats are hoping for. no, there is nothing to the left. there are supporters not done so there is lots to watch over. thanks for taking us through both what we hear from donald trump and a wider look at the polls, the campaigning with seven days to go. he has been charged with two further offences one is a terrorism charge. an 18 year is accused of possessing a pausing
3:37 pm
and also possessing a copy of the al-qaeda training manual. he has already been charged with murder, attempted murder and possession of an eye. he will remember that bebe king, who was six, and alice dasilva aguiar were killed and ten others were hurt after the attack at a taylor swift themed dance class. the chief constable of merseyside police gave a press three briefing awhile ago here is a of it. the additional charges are production of a biological toxin, namely meissen, of the act of 197a. possession of information namely a pdf file
3:38 pm
entitled military studies in the jihad entitled military studies in thejihad against entitled military studies in the jihad against the tyrants. the al-qaeda training manual. likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing to committing or preparing to commit an act of terrorism,... that is the latest. let's speak to our north of england correspondent nick garnett who's in southport he has been charged with two further offences one is a terrorism charge. police said his charges came after searches of his house immediately after the arrest of him. two days after the search began, we understand an item was found inside the house. that was taken away and tested by scientists at porton down. it was discovered to be meissen. as well as that, information was obtained from his computer and that led to the second charge. what is
3:39 pm
really important here and the police are at pains to point this is, what serena curran said that this is not a terrorist incident. i would try to strongly advise against speculation of motive in this case. he has the right to fair trial. my plea she said to be patient. do not engage in rumour and speculation. do not believe everything you read on social media. we must not lose sight the families of acid, bebe and alice were grieving. we must do the right thing to make sure that the justice system is not prejudice. she said importantly, terror charges do not need to provide motive but motivation would need to be established for it to be declared a terrorist incident. it is a very complicated wedding but she went on to say it isn't. counterterrorism have a strict criteria as to what something
3:40 pm
is or is not in terms of it being a terrorist incident. it may not declare something as an incident because of something they find us the investigation. it is one of those competition carries a prison. this is under section 15 of the terrorism act, but a trick to be considered terrorism attacked it would have to have a motive and at the moment they have not discovered that motive and therefore they are not classing this as a terrorist incident. it two charges, one of the production of the biological agent bryson and the pdf download is what is a study of the al-qaeda manual. they are two very serious charges. he will appear via video link before westminster magistrates in a court appearance tomorrow morning. in a court appearance tomorrow morninu. . ., , , morning. thanks for bringing us the latest on — morning. thanks for bringing us the latest on that _ morning. thanks for bringing us the latest on that breaking - the latest on that breaking news. thank you. super—strength synthetic opioid drugs, linked to hundreds of deaths,
3:41 pm
have been found in samples of fake medicines sold online. some are being marketed to treat anxiety, allergies, and sleeping problems. they're called nitazenes, and the bbc has spoken to one mother about the loss of her 23—year—old son, who was found dead next to fake anti—anxiety pills, as navtej johal reports. singing. watching alex perform and hearing him sing was, i'd say, one of the biggest joys ever in my life. i feel like alex's love for music was... like for many people, it was an escape from the struggles of daily life. alex harpum dreamed of becoming an opera singer. injuly last year, he'd just finished his degree at a prestigious music school. he was 23 years old.
3:42 pm
and then there was a knock on the door at 2:30 in the morning. i went downstairs and saw a policeman there. half of me has gone. that will never come back. i miss him all day every day. never come back. i miss him all day every day-— never come back. i miss him all day every day. alex was my best friend. there _ day every day. alex was my best friend. there is _ day every day. alex was my best friend. there is no _ day every day. alex was my best friend. there is no one - day every day. alex was my best friend. there is no one else - day every day. alex was my best friend. there is no one else i - friend. there is no one else i can— friend. there is no one else i can talk_ friend. there is no one else i can talk to _ friend. there is no one else i can talk to now. i will never recover _ can talk to now. i will never recover from it. truly. alex is one of hundreds of people in the past year whose deaths have been linked to nitazenes. many of them have been heroin users, but bbc research can reveal nitazenes have now also been found in fake medicines sold as being able to treat conditions like anxiety or insomnia. we've analysed results from the national drug testing service wedinos,
3:43 pm
and found 130 instances in the 12 months to september where people tried to buy medication found to have been contaminated by nitazenes. experts say some people are seeking out prescription medicines illegally because they want to self—medicate. the united nations says it's concerned that the contamination of these medicines by dealers could be deliberate, and mirrors the start of the us opioid crisis. the national crime agency says nitazenes are being created in illicit labs in china and entering the uk in the post. 15 synthetic opioids were banned in march, and last month the government proposed legislation to ban more. but experts believe this latest development means urgent action is needed. alex's family want to see more drug testing, and are warning that anyone can be affected by nitazenes. i think there are a lot of parents out there that assume that their kids
3:44 pm
would never do anything like this, and maybe seeing alex's profile, who he was, what he was doing in life, itjust perhaps makes people think twice and think, actually, my child could could be doing this. navtejjohal, bbc news. let's speak to harry sumnall, professor in substance use at liverpool john moores university... this is incredibly worrying. i do think letter scenes are somehow being used or have been contaminated these fake drugs? we have always had a problem with fake medicines in the past and also unlicensed medicines which can be diverted for use. there might be an element of experimentation, perhaps organised protest in the market but i think there is a wider geopolitical consideration. in afghanistan, the taliban have placed a ban on opium crop which would lead to the production of heroin. it would
3:45 pm
have to be a long—term disruption so perhaps suppliers are testing the market for synthetic opiates. it is also seenin synthetic opiates. it is also seen in north america is well how easily markets can shift from heroin to synthetic drugs. which are much more harmful. we are concerned that will see the early signs of that here in europe in particular in the uk. coming back to the basic point do you think it is an accident or deliberate? i do you think it is an accident or deliberate?— do you think it is an accident or deliberate? i think it might be mixture. _ or deliberate? i think it might be mixture. in _ or deliberate? i think it might be mixture. in australia. - or deliberate? i think it might be mixture. in australia. we l be mixture. in australia. we have evidence of contamination of cooking and ecstasy. that is probably accidental. i think there is also a problem with contaminated heroin supplies in the uk but when we think about well manufactured, formulated packaged medicines like have been discussed just then perhaps this is a bit more
3:46 pm
worrying and this might be deliberate.— worrying and this might be deliberate. just tell viewers who are watching _ deliberate. just tell viewers who are watching who - deliberate. just tell viewers who are watching who mayl deliberate. just tell viewers i who are watching who may not know about net seems a bit more about them because they are incredibly powerful and we have seen a prolific number of deaths in the us.- seen a prolific number of deaths in the us. so, the world is basically _ deaths in the us. so, the world is basically seeing _ deaths in the us. so, the world is basically seeing a _ deaths in the us. so, the world is basically seeing a opioid - is basically seeing a opioid crisis so viewers might be aware of heroin which is classed as an appeared. letter scenes are synthetic and are more potent and her when need much less of the substance to have the increases the risk of overdose. north america, when supplies shift from heroin to fenton hills and another type opioid, they are recording drugs deaths a year.- opioid, they are recording drugs deaths a year. that is incredibly — drugs deaths a year. that is incredibly alarming. - drugs deaths a year. that is incredibly alarming. we - drugs deaths a year. that is l incredibly alarming. we have drugs deaths a year. that is - incredibly alarming. we have to leave it there but thank you forjoining. around the world

of course, he is a huge part in helping manchester city win four consecutive premier league titles. but, in a huge amount of controversy as well. he did not scrutinise after the season he has had and rhodri have injured at the moment but is delighted to pick up the award. we will return to that later because as i say, there has been a considerable amount of controversy about what happened. let me show you an
3:49 pm
incredible moment when children were saved. we slowed it down so that you can make out the person running around the back of the white and black suv and leaning into the car to actually rescue the child. according to cbs, the vehicle got stuck on gravel on a railway track in california. the driver, and of duty sheriff, rang to say to kids and carried them in opposite directions just seconds before the train struck that vehicle. just a couple of lines to bring up—to—date with in terms of what we are seeing in the last little while, because it has been going on as we were listening to donald trump because the us envoy say that in the last few minutes that
3:50 pm
israel must allow food, medicines and other supplies into all of gaza and protect the workers distributing it and went on to say that israel's words must match actions on the ground and right now, she said, that was not happening. so, some strong words there. unsurprisingly it has generated excitement. it is a bit of it, we can also hear two from the creator. who discovered the manuscript.
3:51 pm
it caught my eye is something that looked like chopin and its essential shop at the top and it is a waltz in a miner sol had a feeling of cautious excitement. in my line of work, you doubt until proven otherwise. i took a snapshot on my phone and brought it home. i played through a bit of it and had the feeling perhaps, if this is what i think it is, it might be one of the first people in modern times to hear this. . . , people in modern times to hear this. . . . ., ., this. that was the curator who set e es this. that was the curator who set eyes on — this. that was the curator who set eyes on it. _ this. that was the curator who set eyes on it. i'm _ this. that was the curator who set eyes on it. i'm delighted l set eyes on it. i'm delighted to say we can speak to the

3:53 pm
is well known for giving gifts of music to his friends. i'm wondering if thisjust of music to his friends. i'm wondering if this just might be there. something that he wrote on a morning at his piano. it is a gift for a friend. it was left there and published. and be fortunate to have discovered it? ., , ., be fortunate to have discovered it? . , ., ., , it? that is a really interesting - it? that is a really| interesting theory, it? that is a really - interesting theory, that he would write a short piece and give it as a gift to a friend. she would do that, would he? he was she would do that, would he? he: was known for doing that. what's strongly to think that is that is so short and i would imagine you know, she was a hugely prolific composer and he had a passion for piano playing himself. this gift for a melody which flows out of him, and a very natural organic way, a bit like schubert with his vocal music. the chopin, it was piano music. the chopin, it was piano music. because it was so short, he would not have run out of ideas. but, it is shorter reason. perhaps it should because it was a gift. that
3:54 pm
would be enough for a friend, what an amazing birthday present. he would not necessarily have written a full minute piece. that's what made me think that it could be that. she was known for doing that. it is an exquisite melody within those 2a bars. i would love for it to be expanded out into perhaps for or five minutes. i would into perhaps for orfive minutes. iwould imagine into perhaps for or five minutes. i would imagine that chopin would have done that. that is what teasing me. what a lovely gift. thank you very much, chopin.— lovely gift. thank you very much, chopin. i've only done one minute _ much, chopin. i've only done one minute left. _ much, chopin. i've only done one minute left. he - much, chopin. i've only done one minute left. he said - much, chopin. i've only done one minute left. he said thatj one minute left. he said that he would prolific that i can. he said that chopin was a musical inspiration. tell me why. musical inspiration. tell me wh . �* , musical inspiration. tell me wh . v . musical inspiration. tell me wh . �*, ., ., . musical inspiration. tell me wh. �*, . ., . ., why. it's a melodic invention. i'm, why. it's a melodic invention. i'm. i've _ why. it's a melodic invention. i'm, i've currently _ why. it's a melodic invention. i'm, i've currently got - why. it's a melodic invention. i'm, i've currently got an - i'm, i've currently got an album out next month called jack frost and it's melodic. the whole thing from beginning to end is melodic. i think you melody, for me, chopin is the

3:56 pm
stay mainly dry and mild. i say dry but it will still be quite damp in the morning especially where mist falls and you get a drizzle from the cloud. not much rainfall on the way, if we look at the rainfall commission you can see how the pattern follows where the jet stream moves. it brings weather fronts. we are in the middle of a area of high pressure hence a little appreciable rain on the way. here it is, the high pressure over us on wednesday and that means very calm, gloomy conditions. in fact, you can see quite a rugged area of cloud on top of us but whether clouds clear and get lengthy spells. temperatures will dip into single figures but it will be at around eight to 10 celsius. not quite as mild on wednesday morning as the last couple of might have been. tomorrow, a very similar start some great skies but then come
3:57 pm
the afternoon there will be some sunshine developing. favourite spots across parts of scotland but anywhere could see the sunshine. another area will be stuck under grey clouds. the high pressure is still with us but it is slipping a little further to the south and change shape. that also means that weather fronts nearing the north of scotland with stronger winds around the western isles with some damp weather here. elsewhere, we are expecting a dry day with some sunny spells. in mild to south—westerly winds and we have halloween on thursday so trick—or—treaters in the evening is not looking bad at all. every bit as mild as temperatures could still be hovering around 15 celsius. next, fireworks if you're celebrating over the course of the weekend it is looking mostly dry. as much of the country. on the weekend, we get more of the same, temperatures in the mid—teens.
3:58 pm
is just a sense of some of what we heard from donald trump.
