and in gaza, health officials say fresh air strikes have killed 31 people at least. the un children agency condemned the killing of 50 children in the killing of 50 children in the past 48 hours in the territory. i'm karin giannone. donald trump and kamala harris are blitzing through several swing states today, with just two days to go before america decides its next president. trump is promising a new "golden age" for the us in pennsylvania, as harris urges voters to turn the page on "hate and division" at a church service in michigan. and i've come today with a message of hope for all americans. with your vote on tuesday i will end inflation, i will stop the invasion of massive numbers of criminals coming into our country — thank you very much, kamala and joe — and i will bring back the american dream

and will bring it back strong than ever before. but this is all you need to know, kamala broke it and we will fix it and we are going to fix it first. the prophet jeremiah wrote, "for i know the plans "i have for you..." applause. "they are the plans for good, and not for disaster. "to give you a future and i hope." and a hope." church, god has a plan for us. he has good plans for us. plans that will heal us and bring us together as one nation. here are the seven main swing states, which are the least loyal to either the democrats or republicans, and therefore more likely to determine the result.

polls show it's an incredibly tight race. but a new poll of voters in the midwestern state of iowa, a state donald trump won in the last two elections, has kamala harris in the lead. the poll was conducted by] ann selzer, who said �*nobody saw this coming'. the poll suggests that kamala harris is leading with 47% over donald trump's 44%. and driving that lead is women and independent voters. i'd point you additionally to the margin that kamala harris wins older women with, it's a two—to—one margin among women aged 65 and over, so there is obviously something going on here. older people is who you want to appeal to because they are the most reliable voters, and kamala harris is doing very very well with that group. and independents in iowa do sort of switch back and forth. in this poll, they are solidly behind kamala harris. carl nasmanjoins us

absolutely. they look for the things that may be persuasive to people. for example, the conspiracies. that�*s not going to get the most traction. if you think of real examples of one person that�*s voted twice or has been arrested and being investigated for trying to cast multiple votes, they�*re taking the antidote and blowing it up into a conspiracy that the whole thing is rigged. in fact, this only means that the system is working. they�*re spotting that one person who is not abiding by the rules. they�*re trying to use that against people like kamala harris with unfounded conspiracy theories.

result is that people think that the election was from dylan if he will believe the election was fraudulent, there is a real risk of escalating violence. is a real risk of escalating violence-— is a real risk of escalating violence. �* , ., ., , ,, , violence. as far as the us is concerned, everybody - violence. as far as the us is concerned, everybody was l concerned, everybody was looking at russia. who behind it now? ., ., , , ., it now? there are groups who t to it now? there are groups who try to sew _ it now? there are groups who try to sew confusion. - it now? there are groups who try to sew confusion. but - try to sew confusion. but again, russia is absolutely trying to interfere with the election. there is a fake video in turned out to be it originated

mark lowen has more. paiporta, ground zero of the carnage. more than 60 people died here when the mud and water enveloped the valencian suburb, devastating it. into the heart of darkness today came spain�*s king and queen, prime minister and the regional president, accused of failing to warn of the floods in advance and of a desperately slow response. asesino! the chant — "murderer!" the anger grows. a protester attacks our camera, and then they hurl what they can find from the torrents below.

this is just unprecedented. i mean, people are picking up mud, throwing it at the king. the depth of anger here and fury is just extraordinary to see. king felipe comforts some and is then led away, shielded from the crowd. his wife�*s face bearing a residue of mud. "we�*re just 16," he says, "we are helping and the "leaders do nothing. "people are still dying. "i can�*t stand this any more. "i have no strength left." "they left us to die," she tells me, "when we needed "them, they weren�*t here. "we�*ve lost everything. "our businesses, our homes, our dreams." and others have lost family like rafa, who owned a print shop with his two brothers, now a wreck. as the waters rose, his brother tony stayed inside to take refuge. tony�*s body was found a street away. his three sons now without a father. translation: we are outraged. this is a great country, but with disgusting, incompetent leaders. i�*m so angry i can�*t talk any more. i don�*t have the strength to speak about my brother. he was a really good person.

i have no more words. i�*m sorry. i'm sorry.|t is frankly hard to take in the apocalyptic scale of this destruction. to get paiporta alone back on its feet, the homeless rehoused in shelter, damage reimbursed could take months. but then repeat that for mile after mile of this stricken region. spain stunned, traumatised and where rage is tipping over, only eased by the solidarity of the people. today, the spark was ignited here. but as the number of dead rises further and the depth of loss becomes deeper, this country is at a delicate moment. mark lowen, bbc news, valencia. bbc mundo reporter jorge perez had this update from catarroja — one of the worst affected areas in the valencia region.

scotland, maybe northern and western wales, but i think the vast majority holding on to the cloud, seeing those temperatures again 12—14 degrees. as we move through monday night, there�*s little change, we hold on to a lot of cloud. so that blankets in the temperatures — falling much below 6—10 celsius. a few clear spells here and there may allow temperatures to fall into low single digits, with some mist and fog forming. so as we head into tuesday, then, we�*ve still got our area of high pressure, but some subtle wind changes. we�*re starting to pick up more of a southerly as low pressure begins to squeeze up against us from the west. so stronger winds, i think, through the irish sea into northern ireland. that may break up the clouds a bit for western wales, perhaps into northern ireland, western scotland, northern scotland could see some sunshine as well, some shelter from the southerly breeze,

but i think large parts of southern scotland and most of england will stay rather grey once again — temperatures into the mid—teens. as we push in towards the middle part of the week, winds pick up further across western areas, but we�*re starting to drag up some warmer airfrom the azores, so that will be noticeable. given any sunshine, we could be into the high teens, so pretty warm for the time of year, but again on wednesday most places will be rather grey and gloomy. but through the afternoon, with that breeze picking up from the south, we could see some sunnier moments across northern and western areas, so 16 or 17 degrees, maybe 18 degrees in the warmest spots, where we have the thickest of the cloud, generally the mid—teens. little change as we head in towards the end of the week. best of the sunshine across sheltered northern areas. most places staying cloudy.
