party in britain. to be heard, we have to be honest. honest about the fact that we made mistakes. that we let standards slip. we've made it to the final weekend of campaigning before the us presidential election, and democratic nominee kamala harris and her republican rival donald trump are busy crisscrossing the key election battlegrounds. within the past few hours we have seen opposing rallies in two swing states — harris in atlanta, georgia, and trump in gastonia, north carolina. here's some of what the candidates had to say. you know what are we going to do? we're going to drill, baby, drill like you've never seen before. cheering.

and for the people in pennsylvania, we are going to frack, frack, frack. but we are going to drill, baby, drill, and we're going to frack in certain areas, we going to frack like we've never fracked before. because we have more energy than any country in the world, including russia, and we are lucky in that regard, including russia and saudi arabia. they have a lot of oil, we have more than they do. and we were energy independent four years ago, think of that. one of them is going to be to submit, basically, a package of proposals that are about bringing down costs. so, for example, housing — what we need to do in terms of creating a tax benefit for folks who want home ownership, what we're to create a $25,000 down payment system down payment assistance plan, what we are going to do for small businesses. all of that will require a lot of work.

and day one is also me getting on the phone with members of the republican party, with leaders, with the private sector. a lot of my plan includes working with the private sector. my plan includes cutting through red tape. our correspondents are live across battleground states. joining us is helena humphrey is in the swing state of north carolina in the town of gastonia, and carl nasman from milwaukee, wisconsin. hello to you both. helena, you have been at that trump valley we have just seen have been at that trump valley we havejust seen in have been at that trump valley we have just seen in gastonia. how was it?— how was it? well, this is it, the final— how was it? well, this is it, the final stretch. _ how was it? well, this is it, the final stretch. you - how was it? well, this is it, the final stretch. you could | the final stretch. you could feel that energy, you could see the crowds now have gone, but thatis the crowds now have gone, but that is the point, the campaign moves on, zigzagging across the country at a frenetic pace. in terms of what was said here at this rally, we are in solid trump country here and it was the well worn refrains, topics such as the economy, immigration, donald trump singh that he considered emigration to be the biggest single threat to be the biggest single threat to this country and promising once again to carry out a mass

deportation from day one, he said. then he sought to tie thoseissues said. then he sought to tie those issues to the economy, for example, saying that it is undocumented immigrants come across the border who are taking, in his words, african—americanjobs. you may african—american jobs. you may remember when african—americanjobs. you may remember when he made such statements, talking about black jobs during a debate a number of months ago. of course that stirred controversy. we even saw michelle obama at her speech saying, who is going to tell him? referring to her husband's drop, of course, barack obama becoming the first black president of the united states, holding the highest office in this country. another key referring to when it comes to the economy, we are going to frack like never before. i.i found interesting is when he spoke about women. we know in this election there is a gender divide, particularly when it comes to young women opting more frequently for kamala harris. he said to the crowd, where are my north carolina women? there was just a

lukewarm response, really. one woman shouted back saying, they are coming later. he said, ok, they are scattered, where are they? i have never seen this before. we do not know whether thatis before. we do not know whether that is indicative of what we are seeing at the polls, but interesting to observe. donald trump is now going to virginia, he will be back in north carolina and greensboro tonight. talk about that african—american vote, that will be important because harris has more support there. he has been courting support particularly with younger african—american men, in particular, but of course that will be a blog that he wants to continue to win over because the state is important. kamala harris hopes that this is her best chance of winning back a battleground.— battleground. helena, thank ou. battleground. helena, thank yom let's — battleground. helena, thank yom let's go _ battleground. helena, thank you. let's go to _ battleground. helena, thank you. let's go to wisconsin i battleground. helena, thank. you. let's go to wisconsin now. tell us about the event you have been reporting on there. well, it is interesting, some of those _ well, it is interesting, some of those issues that we heard about — of those issues that we heard about from helena, immigration, the economy, these are obviously important, but in the

thank you very much. thank you both. thousands of women are expected to march to the white house in the next half hour in support of vice president kamala harris. they have been gathering at black lives matter plaza and will march the short distance to lobby for abortion rights after the overturning of roe v wade. the speakers will include the high—profile american lawyer gloria allred. let's speak to our north america correspondent rowan bridge in washington. i suppose this is intended to have echoes of famous marches on washington in the past. i on washington in the past. i mean, this isn't the first women's march in washington either. this started in after donald trump won in 2016, there was a march in washington at the start of 2017, just after his inauguration. the movement, if you like, started there, they are having another rally

today. the first women's march, just after donald trump was elected, that got somewhere around 500,000 people turning out to it. we not expecting those sorts of numbers, it is expected to be more like 5000 today. the aim here is about energising women to go out and vote in the aim here is about energising women to go out and vote in this election because what they are clearly trying to do is encourage enough women to vote that that makes this election, stops donald trump winning the white house again. there seems to be such a gender divide, according to the polls for this election. by, divide, according to the polls for this election.— for this election. a massive uender for this election. a massive gender divide. _ for this election. a massive gender divide. kamala - for this election. a massive i gender divide. kamala harris has about a ten point lead over donald trump in terms of the male — female split overall. and also the younger the voter, the more likely young women are to go for kamala harris, young men are for donald trump. we are in an election that is a joint course —— coin toss with

three days to go. both sides i really try to get their boat out and persuade everybody they can to go and vote for them because they know building that coalition of small groups, of latino voters, of men, women, if you can pull together that coalition, that might be the crucial element that swings the overall result one way or the other. �* , ~ ., . overall result one way or the other. �* , . ., , overall result one way or the other. �* , . other. and this march, as you mentioned. — other. and this march, as you mentioned, against _ other. and this march, as you mentioned, against the - mentioned, against the overturning of roe v wade, people wanting abortion rights to be reinstated across the country. how much has the issue of abortion featured in the democratic campaign, particularly?— democratic campaign, articularl? . .. ., , , particularly? kamala harris is seen that _ particularly? kamala harris is seen that as _ particularly? kamala harris is seen that as an _ particularly? kamala harris is seen that as an issue - particularly? kamala harris is seen that as an issue that - seen that as an issue that plays well for her, notjust amongst the traditional base of democratic support, but also they believe for a moderate republican women, which is another group that they are hoping to peel away from donald trump. moderate republican women in the suburbs or places like philadelphia who may be turned off by donald trump and

be concerned about the situation regarding abortion rights in the united states. that roe v wade judgment that was overturned means that there is no guarantee on abortion rights beyond 12 weeks, and the concern is that kamala harris has been saying is that donald trump will make it even harder to get an abortion. they feel that issue plays well particularly with women and moderate women, republican voters who they are hoping will come over to kamala harris and might be enough to tip the election in herfavour. might be enough to tip the election in her favour. thank ou. election in her favour. thank you roman _ election in her favour. thank you. roman bridge, - election in her favour. thank you. roman bridge, our- you. roman bridge, our correspondent in washington. —— rowan bridge. spain's prime minister, pedro sanchez, has announced his country's biggest deployment of troops and soldiers — in peacetime — to deal with this week's flash floods. 211 people are known to have died in flooding and landslides earlier this week, and many are still missing. in the worst affected region, valencia, one woman was rescued after being trapped in her car in an underpass for three days. our correspondent mark lowen sent this report.

wading into the unknown, an abyss of horror that rescuers believe still hides many. with every hour, the chance of the miracle fades further. in garages and underground car parks, they fear more bodies will be found, trapped as the floodwaters rose. search dogs and mountain rescue teams scour the landscape for the missing. from high above the flooded terrain, they are winched down to comb just one of the mangled cars. valencia's suburbs are scenes of carnage and the authorities are overwhelmed. so the prime minister has announced 10,000 more troops and police to join the relief effort. entire neighbourhoods are still caked in mud, the streets stricken with the detritus of lives. legions of locals do what they can to clear but it's barely scratching the surface. outside one damaged

home, we met pablo. on the night of the floods, he rescued some elderly residents of a nearby retirement home and retrieved those that didn't make it. and it's been destroyed? yes... he takes me to the spot where the pensioners lived happily until tuesday. we went inside and we found them inside, down their fridges, down their sofas. now when you look over there... i can't, i can't. yesterday, i tried with my brother go there and see but i couldn't. i couldn't. and now a flood of solidarity, the volunteer effort increasing by the day. they queued all morning in central valencia to take supplies to the areas. we have very close to us and they have lost their houses and their cars. it's all material and we know people that have lost families and that is a disaster, really.

well, the last of the buses are being loaded up to head to the worst affected areas. organisers believe that some 15,000 people have shown up here today — an outpouring of emotion filling the vacuum that many feel has been left by the authorities. disaster has brought spaniards together, critical of their politicians, determined to help out. a spirit of unity to fight national trauma. now it's time for a look at today's sport with hugh. hello from the bbc sport centre. liverpool are top of the premier league after a 2—1 against brighton. they're two points clear of manchester city who lost for the first time in the league this season. liverpool were behind for a long time before goals by cody gakpo and mo salah made it eight league wins out of ten for arne slot�*s side.

in the second half, it was not about tactics without the ball, it was just about keeping running. that is what they did, combined with us on the ball setting up a bit differently what brought the game towards us. i probably must not forget ourfans us. i probably must not forget our fans that really showed up today for us as well. city's defeat was their first in the league for 32 matches and their second in a row after being knocked out of the english league cup on wednesday. evanilson's goal proved to be the winner in a 2—1 victory for bournemouth. we have a problem. we have a lot of players with a lot of minutes and a lot of players with no minutes. so we have the situation that the balance is a little bit uncomfortable, but it has what it is. we play good in spots, but today we were not not like i think we could not handle what they had and that's why we lost the game. there was a further blow

for arsenal's title hopes. they were beaten at newcastle and are now without a win in their last three league games. alexander isak scored the only goal in a 1—0 defeat at st james' park. and arsenal are eight points off the pace. here's a check on all of saturday's premier league scores. nottingham forest's great run continued. they're up to third after a 3—0 win over west ham. southampton got their first league win of the season. ipswich were seconds away from getting theirs before leicester grabbed a late equaliser. wolves are still waiting for their first win, too, after drawing 2—2 with crystal palace. new zealand edged to a dramatic 2a points to 22 win over england at twickenham in the first of the autumn internationals. mark tele'a scored a try in the corner on 77 minutes. and the conversion gave the all blacks a two—point advantage. george ford twice had the chance to salvage a win for england — first with a penalty which hit the post and then with a drop goal right at the death. but that went wide to leave england agonisingly short. i don't think he has ever missed a drop goal in his life. probably a bit of emotion in

the game, we showed a lot of character, stayed in the game, we showed a lot of character, stayed
