as polio vaccinations in gaza resume, the head of the world health organization says a number of people have been injured in an israeli strike on a clinic. and here in the uk, kemi badenoch wins the race to become the new leader of the conservative party — the first black woman to lead a major political party in britain. to be heard, we have to be honest. honest about the fact that we made mistakes. that we let standards slip. the race for the white house is on a knife edge with three days to go before americans decide whether kamala harris or donald trump will be the next president. both the democratic and republican nominees are campaigning hard

in the handful of states likely to decide the result. harris is in georgia, and trump in north carolina. here's some of what the candidates had to say a short time ago. you know what we're going to do? we're going to drill, baby, drill like you've never seen before. cheering. straight down. 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're going to frack like we've neverfracked 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 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 correspondentjohn sudworth has more from atlanta, georgia, where kamala harris held her latest rally. well, kamala harris told this rally that she was going to win. the country, she said, is tired of the division and the grievance, and then the crowd led her in that now all too familiar chant, "no going back." but that confidence is not borne out by the polls. this remains a race too close to call across the key

swing states, none more so than here in georgia. if kamala harris can hang on here tojoe biden�*s victory back in 2020, which he won by the slimmest of margins, just a few thousand votes, then that would be a major milestone on her road to the white house. but she is here because she needs to fight for every vote, and deep down they know that this is far from sewn up. there were two key messages today. first, kamala harris attacking donald trump on questions of his character and his record in the hope of maybe scooping up some of those undecided middle ground voters, and most importantly, drilling home with the concerns about donald trump's success in rolling back reproductive freedoms for women in america, clearly aimed at the audience here in the hope of galvanising and rallying the core vote, which will be crucial if she is going to hang on to this state.

our correspondent helena humphrey has spent the day at donald trump's rally north carolina. well, this is it, the final stretch. you could feel that energy, you can see 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 saying that he considered emigration to be the biggest single threat immigration 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 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 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 job, of course, barack obama becoming the first black president of the united states, holding the highest office in this country. and other key referring to when it comes —— and other key refrains when it comes to the economy, we are going to frack like never before. one point 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 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 in greensboro tonight.

talking 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 block that he wants to continue to win over because this state is important. kamala harris hopes that this is her best chance of winning back a battleground. let's cross live now to milwaukee, in the swing state of wisconsin, and our correspondent carl nasman. so much going on in those swing states. even the mexican day of the date parade is potentially a political event —— day of the dead. a political event -- day of the dead. , , ,., .., dead. everything is political “ust dead. everything is political just three — dead. everything is political just three days _ dead. everything is political just three days ahead - dead. everything is political just three days ahead of. just three days ahead of election day. we are at a day of the dead celebration. this is just of the dead celebration. this isjust wrapping up. oh, my goodness! down goes the sculptor. we have had an

amazing event here, everybody out in costumes. this is a very important day in the mexican—american community, but everyone in milwaukee latin community coming out to celebrate and gathering politically as well. just to give you a sense of where the community is in wisconsin, big as some state like florida or texas, but about 60% of latinos in wisconsin voted forjoe biden in 2020. that is down a bit from 2016, hillary clinton got about 63% of the vote. that is kinda what seeing overall in the country, a bit of a shift to the right, towards donald trump among latinos in the united states. lets talk more about the latino community in the state of wisconsin. i have a guest here, a political organiser in the latino community. i know you're going door—to—door, try to reach latino voters. what are the biggest issues when it comes to the election and why they might vote one way or the other? great question. so, i am vote one way or the other?

i might have been a real person on there! what a relief! thank you very much. thousands of women are marching to the white house in support of vice president kamala harris. they are campaigning for abortion rights, the establishment of equal pay, and federally guaranteed paid parental leave. might we can show you the pictures. they are marching towards the white house. their main point in this march is to show a big demonstration of support for kamala harris just days before election day. and in the aftermath of the overturning of roe v wade, really campaigning for the reinstatement of abortion rights across the country in all states. the federal right to choose. that is their theme and they will be marching over the next hour or so up towards the next hour or so up towards the white house from where they are now. we will continue to bring you the very latest on all the life events going on,

but north america corresponded rowan bridgejointly from rowan bridge jointly from washington earlier. rowan bridgejointly from washington earlier. —— joined me. he compared today's events with previous women's marches in the capital. this started 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, and they are having another rally there 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 5,000 people today. 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 may tip this election and stop donald trump winning the white house again. rowan, i suppose that is because there seems to be such a gender divide, according to the polls, for this election. a massive 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 to go for donald trump. we are in an election that is a coin toss with three days to go. so both sides are really try to get their vote 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. and this march, as you 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? kamala harris has seen that as an issue that plays well for her, notjust amongst

the traditional base of democratic support, but also they believe for moderate republican women, which is another group that they are hoping to peel away from donald trump. moderate republican women in the suburbs of 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 now no federal guarantee on abortion rights beyond 12 weeks, and the concern is that... kamala harris has been saying 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 her favour. and you can watch live coverage of the results coming in here on bbc news, on bbc one in the uk, and on the iplayer at 10:40 gmt next tuesday fifth november.

sumi somaskanda and caitriona perry will bring you a special programme from washington dc with our team of experts and correspondents. spain has deployed an extra 10,000 soldiers and police to deal with the country's worst flooding crisis in generations. the prime minister, pedro sanchez, said it was spain's biggest peacetime deployment. 211 people are now known to have died and many are still missing. in the worst affected region, valencia, spanish media are reporting that one woman has been 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 a miracle fades further. in garages and 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, they're winched down to comb one car. amazingly, a woman was found alive today after being trapped in her vehicle for three days. valencia's suburbs are scenes of carnage and the authorities are overwhelmed. now the prime minister has announced 10,000 more troops and police officers to join the relief effort. whole neighbourhoods are still caked in mud. streets stricken with the remnants of lives. legions of locals do what they can to clear, but it's barely scratching the surface. outside, we met pablo. on the night of the floods, he rescued elderly residents of a nearby retirement home and retrieved the bodies of those who didn't make it. it's been destroyed ? he takes me to where the pensioners lived

calmly, until tuesday. we went inside and we found them inside. down the fridge. down the sofas. horrible. and now when you look over there. i can't, i can't. yesterday i tried with my brother to 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 worst—hit zones. we have very close to us and they have lost their houses and their cars, and their... it's all material, and we know people that have lost a 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. national unity fighting national trauma. mark lowen, bbc news, valencia. let's talk about the latest developments in the middle east now. a lebanese government minister has confirmed that a senior official has been abducted in a raid on a house near the city of tripoli by men believed to be israeli naval commandos. imad amhaz, who's reported to be a senior member of hezbollah's naval force, was taken from his home by more than 20 men in uniform on friday. lebanon's prime minister, najib mikati, has called for an investigation into the kidnapping. israel has not yet commented on the incident. our correspondent injerusalem, joe inwood, has more. there is a lot that we don't know about this, but a few more details that we are having

confirmed or we think we have got confirmed. now, this seems to have been an israeli raid, commando raid, it is being reported naval commandos, that took place on friday in the town of batroun. now, this is a christian majority town, sort of on the coast, equidistant from tripoli to the north and the capital beirut to the south. and what you can see from the cctv images, which as you say have been confirmed by a member of the lebanese government, show roughly 25, 20 to 25 men going in tactical formation. and amongst them is one person who clearly appears to be a captive. now, as you say, that is believed to be imad amhaz. now, this is where the description of events differs slightly because we are getting it from israeli sources and through israeli media that this man was a senior hezbollah commander involved in weapons transfers, involved in their naval command, and the phrase being used by the israelis is that they have captured him. however, a hezbollah—affiliated member of parliament,

member of the government is saying that this man is a naval officer, and he has been kidnapped. and so we are getting differing reports, but what we can say pretty much for certain is that this man has been taken into israeli custody, captured by the israelis, and it is also the first action we think we have seen in this part of the country, to the north of the capital, an area which previously has been less affected by the conflict. meanwhile, four children were among six people injured in an israeli strike on a polio vaccine clinic in gaza city. the world health organization had resumed the second phase of polio vaccinations for children in gaza earlier today. the centre was struck while parents were bringing their children for vaccination, after a humantiarian pause had been agreed with the israeli military. on that, again, our correspondent, joe inwood. i think it's worth reminding viewers exactly what a terrible virus polio can be. now, this is something which the world has been pretty successful in trying to eradicate. indeed, the incident

that they found with a paralysed child in august was the first example of this in gaza for 25 years, and there were real fears that this terrible virus, which paralyses one in 200 and kills about one in ten of those, could have a resurgence, and so the world health organization started an emergency vaccination programme. that was pretty successful, we think, in september, in getting the first dose to people, but in order to get full coverage, you need two doses. and a few weeks ago, they tried to give those second doses out, they managed to get them to about 450,000 children in the south and centre of the gaza strip, but the north was inaccessible because of the fighting there. they have started to remedy that today. we know that there has been a pause in the fighting during daylight hours and they have used that to start to get vaccinations out, about 100,000 children over the three days is the plan. but you made the point there that they are unable to access may be 15,000 children who are in the more remote areas of the north of the gaza strip, that really

matters because in order for a vaccination to be successful, you not only need the two doses, but you need there to be a high enough take—up. and if you have got a large population, 15,000 children is a large population, without any vaccination or immunity at all, well, the risk is still there that this could spread. and although the world health organization and everyone concerned will be happy that they are getting these vaccinations out there, there will be concern that they are not getting them to everyone. detectives investigating russell brand over allegations of historical sex offences have sent prosecutors a file of evidence so they can consider bringing charges. brand has been interviewed three times by police since an investigation in september 2023 revealed allegations of rape, sexual assaults and emotional abuse against the comedian, all of which he denies. frances reed told us more. this all came about after an investigation by the sunday

times, the times and channel 4's dispatches. it revealed these allegations against russell brand. the allegations come from a seven year period when he was at the height of his fame, starring in hollywood films, holding several high profilejobs, including at channel 4 and also bbc radio 2 at the time. the met police said in a statement it had received a number of reports of sexual offences from women following the original investigation. detectives investigating these allegations have now sent prosecutors a file of evidence so that the cps can consider whether or not it should bring charges. the cps says any decision to charge or not a charge is made independently, based on the evidence, and in line with its legal test. evidence, and in line with its legaltest. russell evidence, and in line with its legal test. russell brand this evening has posted on social media that he hasn't mentioned anything to do with these files, he has previously denied the allegations, calling them very hurtful. the grand final of one of the world's most popular

competitive video game tournaments has been held in the uk for the first time. the league of legends world championship final packed out london's 02 arena, and with millions watching online could break records for the most watched e—sports event of all time. here's andrew rogers. there aren't many events where you can dress up like this, and also wear this. but you can here. this is league of legends worlds, one of the most popular global e—sports competitions. it is like super bowl for league of legends. it is, it is an amazing atmosphere, everyone comes from all over the world. you can see the amount of people there are here and a lot more probably wish to be here. so it isjust enormous, i don't know how to explain it, it's worldwide. the grand finals are being held in the uk for the first time at london's 02 arena, with almost 15,000 here to cheer on the best players in the world. it's a five v five online battle arena game. it's fast paced, it's highly tactical, and these fans absolutely love it.

625 in the evening. you can see the women's march going on at the women's march going on at the moment. thousands of women turning out in the capital to voice their support of kamala harris and called for the restoration of abortion rights across all states in america. hello. fireworks displays on saturday evening at least added a little bit of colour into what was otherwise a pretty grey day. this satellite image, there is the uk, lots of cloud in place, so with winds coming in from the south and south easterly direction, look what is still to come our way. we do see a few breaks and more particularly to the north—east of scotland, where temperatures drop the furthest to take us into sunday morning. it is around the north—east where we could see temperatures in aberdeen, four, lower than that in the countryside, a touch of frost around, mostly mild enough, eight to 12 degrees. little change as far as the weather setup is concerned for sunday, high pressure still with us, not a huge amount of wind to the clouds, where we have a bit more breeze in

northern scotland, an enhanced chance of a few more sunny breaks extending into the highlands, still the north—east is best favoured, one or two breaks maybe in the west but the cloud thick enough for patchy rain and drizzle, and later in the day we could see some sunny spells towards east anglia and the south—east, temperatures on sunday very similar to saturday. into sunday night we go, and again where we have got clearer breaks in northern scotland, temperatures will drop the furthest. a mild night, patchy rain, resolve, misty over the hills to take us into monday morning. and once again, for most, temperatures not dropping a huge amount to start the day. so, as we go into the start of the new week, not a massive amount will change, high pressure still dominant, there should be a few more sunny spells, the breeze picks up every now and again, but morning fog patches could be an issue, and the other thing, as an area of high pressurejust drifts further eastwards, we get more of a southerly flow, and that, with low pressure out in the west, will help to draw in even warmer air, so temperatures will be back above normal, particularly in parts of scotland and northern ireland. for monday, though,

we start off with that great —— for monday, though, we start off with that grey scene, a few brighter breaks here in the west but there will be a greater chance down towards the english channel coast and the south—east, of seeing some clearer skies moving in, so an enhanced chance of some sunshine, temperatures still around 12 to 1a degrees. with some clearer skies, then, in the southern uk to take us into tuesday morning, and light winds, fog patches could be an issue for the commute, and where they do form, they could lingerfor much of the morning, even into early afternoon. elsewhere, lots of cloud to begin with, a few breaks here and there, with a bit more breeze in northern scotland, here is where we will see the best of the chances, temperatures again around 12 to 1a degrees, take care.
