decide this election. donald trump is visiting north carolina, georgia — and pennsylvania. while there mr trump said told supporters that the us is a "crooked country". and reiterated his false claims of election fraud in the 2020 election. kamala harris is campaigning in michigan; is an industrial state — and it's a crucial one for her to win. early on sunday, she attended a church service and then called in on a restaurant in detroit. here's some of what both candidates have been saying. for future elections, i will not be a part— for future elections, i will not be a part of— for future elections, i will not be a part of it. — for future elections, i will not be a part of it, you want to go to paper— a part of it, you want to go to paper ballots and voter id, i'm hearing— paper ballots and voter id, i'm hearing now they're going to take
11:01 pm
weeks _ hearing now they're going to take weeks. can you imagine, they spend all this_ weeks. can you imagine, they spend all this money come all this money on machines and they are going to say we _ on machines and they are going to say we may— on machines and they are going to say we may take an extra 12 days to determine — say we may take an extra 12 days to determine it. and what do you think happens _ determine it. and what do you think happens during that 12 days? what do you think_ happens during that 12 days? what do you think happens? so here we are on the sunday before election, i would ask in particular people who have not yet voted to not fall for his tactic. which i think includes suggesting to people that if they vote, their vote will matter. —— vote won't matter. in suggesting to people that the integrity of our voting system is not intact so they won't vote. i think it is a tactic, it is meant to distract from the fact that we have and support free and fair elections, in 2020 he lost.
11:02 pm
donald trump has appeared in north carolina. it's another swing state. our correspondent helena humphrey is there. it is in the battleground states where the race to the white house will be won or lost. we are here in the swing state of north carolina. some 16 electoral college votes here are up for grabs. both candidates in recent weeks have been pouring significant time and resources to campaigning in this state. for kamala harris, this is part of something called her sunbelt strategy. were she to lose one of the so—called blue wall states — pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin — she could hope to make up for that by flipping this state blue. for donald trump, however, if he loses north carolina, well, his path to victory could appear to be more challenging. now, donald trump on the ground in the past five days, holding a rally here in north carolina every day. i wanted to know more about the democratic ground game, so i spoke to the chair of the county democratic party, michael mclamb. barack obama carried the state in 2008,
11:03 pm
he had a field operation in every single county. this is the closest we have been to boots on the ground in every single county here in western north carolina. over the past several weeks, we've had a number of issues, recovering from hurricane helene, but still voters are coming out, they are engaged, they are knowledgeable of the issues, and i think they will make the right choice. the harris campaign hopes that north carolina is perhaps their best chance of flipping a state in this presidential election. donald trump carried it by some 711,000 votes in 2020, meaning it is all to play for here in north carolina and it will be a prime focus on election night. you can watch live coverage of the results here on bbc news — including from north carolina, our next report comes from ione wells
11:04 pm
who is there. this is lambeau field, home of the greene bay packers, thousands of fans here have been braving the elements and the rain to come out and support their favourite football team. we been speaking with with the many of them here, this is a great way to escape. the campaign at least briefly to enjoy some fun and then maybe get back to politics in the coming days. greene bay though is going to be a crucial city in the state when it comes to the election. this is a state that got 4000 votes forjoe biden, it's going to be political price for both campaigns. we've seen the campaigns here, during that campaign trail earlier this week, donald trump campaigning in greene bay even bringing on stage some former members of the greene bay packers to endorse him. clearly a bit of a message aimed directly at
11:05 pm
huge community of sports fans. greene wisconsin interconnect state. we've seen this in the past four of the last six presidential elections in wisconsin have been settled by 1% of the vote or less. with me is now is amy dacey, former chief executive officer of the democratic national committee, as well as lisa camooso miller, former head of communications for the republican national committee. both of you, you're very welcome on bbc news. first things first, these are crucial decisions in the last few days of a campaign, where you put your emphasis both in the geographical destinations but also the messaging. how do you assess what you're saying at the moment? i
11:06 pm
what you're saying at the moment? i think you've seen what metals most and those battleground states. especially in those states we talk about, wisconsin, pennsylvania, michigan. that's where they've spent a great deal of the time, also there vice presidential candidates, they did swing out to the western states and now they are... in the west. what appears to be happening in the us is the _ what appears to be happening in the us is the coalition seemed to be expanded, they are looking for more women, _ expanded, they are looking for more women, more voters who are undecided. on the republican side of the discussion we see some shrinking of that— the discussion we see some shrinking of that coalition so it's really interesting to see now how these two campaigns— interesting to see now how these two campaigns are doing their best to -et campaigns are doing their best to get out _ campaigns are doing their best to get out in — campaigns are doing their best to get out in a time where we really should _ get out in a time where we really should be — get out in a time where we really should be doing everything we can to expand _ should be doing everything we can to expand the _ should be doing everything we can to expand the debase you either tried to persuade people who are trying to persuade _ to persuade people who are trying to persuade you to turn out or people wohbtihg _ persuade you to turn out or people wobbling to come your way? are base

11:09 pm
the lines that you are expecting to and if we take donald trump for an example, he is clearly freestyle a lot of the time, it's what his supporters like about him, but for a campaign this can beat not without its challenges, should i say. it’s its challenges, should i say. it's interesting _ its challenges, should i say. it�*s interesting to me to watch the truck campaign, i really think there are two different campaigns going out, there are the strategists campaign, issues they want him to talk on, you can see got to their ads. but then there is the one that trump is running, what is the rhetoric he's using in these rallies, how is he engaging, the choices he makes about people speaking at them, the choices you make about media outlets, there's almost a tension between the two in this campaign. in there's almost a tension between the two in this campaign.— two in this campaign. in terms of tension, two in this campaign. in terms of tension. i — two in this campaign. in terms of tension, i wonder— two in this campaign. in terms of tension, i wonder what _ two in this campaign. in terms of tension, i wonder what you - two in this campaign. in terms ofj tension, i wonder what you make two in this campaign. in terms of. tension, i wonder what you make of kamala harris having to balance offering a vision for this country, but also she clearly wants to attack donald trump and who he is, and those two things seem to be competing for prominence if you like. . , ,., y competing for prominence if you like. . , ,., , ., competing for prominence if you like. . , ., ., competing for prominence if you like. , ., ., ., like. absolutely true and also what we can't forget _ like. absolutely true and also what we can't forget is _ like. absolutely true and also what we can't forget is that _ like. absolutely true and also what we can't forget is that kamala - we can't forget is that kamala harris — we can't forget is that kamala harris only became a candidate three months _

11:16 pm
an evacuation order for residents — saying it would attack hezbollah targets there. lebanon's health ministry also says that three people were killed in an israeli strike on the southern city of sidon, adding there was no evacuation warning beforehand. in a visit to the israel—lebanon border, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said israel must block all hezbollah attempts to rearm, with or without a ceasefire in place. on sunday, iran's president, masoud pezeshkian, said potential ceasefires in gaza and lebanon "could affect the intensity" of tehran's response to israel's recent attacks against iran. that's a day after iran's supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei, vowed a quote unquote "crushing response" to israel's recent strikes on the country. let's get more from alex vatanka, director of the iran programme at the middle east institute here in washington. thank you very much indeed for your time. how do you assess iran's options at the moment?-

veil is a an issue that is despised by the young demographic. and years into this presidency nothing's happened. here is the irony, as the country is preparing for war against israel or the united states, you would think they would do things at home to endear themselves to the reigning public, but they are doing the opposite. they are staying the course, cracking down, enforcing very repressive, unpopular policies like this mandatory veil and the case of the lady that you mentioned was the latest example of so many of these examples of the regime really being tone deaf. to these examples of the regime really being tone deaf.— being tone deaf. to put this in context, being tone deaf. to put this in context. a _ being tone deaf. to put this in context, a protest _ being tone deaf. to put this in context, a protest of - being tone deaf. to put this in context, a protest of this - being tone deaf. to put this in i context, a protest of this nature being tone deaf. to put this in - context, a protest of this nature in iran will be exceptionally rare. taste iran will be exceptionally rare. we don't iran will be exceptionally rare. 9 don't really know, this happened yesterday but this individual was harassed by the security forces and she decided to go out and in a cultural setting where you would not expect a female, woman or anybody

11:21 pm
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

11:23 pm
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. details about the royal family's finances, including rent received from the national health service, schools and the armed forces, have been revealed in a new documentary. the investigation by channel 4's dispatches and the sunday times reports that the private estates of king charles and prince william have received millions of pounds of income from contracts with public bodies and charities. here's our news correspondent noor nanji with more.

first of all, it says that both of those estates have struck lucrative deals with various public bodies including the nhs, and it says that in the last year alone the value of those deals came to almost £50 million, and it says it includes a £37 million agreement between the duchy of cornwall and the ministry ofjustice to lease dartmoor prison, and also an £11 million deal between the duchy of lancaster and a hospital trust to rent a warehouse. now, according to the investigation, the details of those deals have not been handed to parliament, so that does raise questions about transparency. and also, both estates are exempt from paying corporation tax and capital gains tax. now, the documentary has caused a bit of a stir. we've had calls from the anti—monarchy group republic, calling to abolish the duchies, and we've also had a response from the duchies themselves. a spokesperson for the duchy of cornwall said, "it is a private estate with a commercial imperative," and a spokesperson for the duchy of lancaster says, "it complies with all relative uk legislation.

thank you for that update. a quick reminder that both the harris and trump campaigns continuing to push on with a focus particularly on those seven swing states. there is kamala harris begin, i'll see you in a few minutes. hello. it's been a week devoid of sunshine for the vast majority due to cloud being trapped underneath an area of high pressure. that high pressure system stubbornly sits across europe for much of this week, but as it moves away eastwards at times and weather fronts get close by to the west, we should start to get a bit more of a breeze as we go through the week. that will help to break up the cloud a bit more, so we should see a bit more sunshine come through later on, but that does mean some night time and morning fog patches are possible, and with southerly winds developing, it's going to be quite a very mild week — in fact, gets milder as we go through. notice on our anomaly chart, these deeper oranges and reds appearing in the north of scotland around the moray firth and also inverness — we could see temperatures six to seven degrees above average by thursday. it's here though, we start

chilliest first thing on monday morning after clear skies through the weekend. eight or nine degrees for many elsewhere. another very familiar picture there, rather grey skies, cloud trapped under this area of high pressure. on the edge of it, though, so we may see a little bit more breeze help to break the cloud across some of these western areas to allow some brightness through. but it's here there's a greater chance of one or two light showers. we could also bring in a bit more sunshine as well to the southeast and southern counties of england every now and again, but a cloudier day in the north east of scotland and temperatures as they have been through the weekend. now, monday night into tuesday, cloud sits in place where you get any breaks. temperatures could dip down into single figures. also, we could see some mist and fog with some clearer breaks towards east anglia and the southeast, but certainly into tuesday hot a huge amount change to begin with. but as we start to see this weather system get close by, it's not going to have a direct impact on us. but what it will do, it starts to bring in from the south more in the way of low cloud towards irish sea coast — could turn quite misty around these areas, damp and drizzly, too. and southerly wind also developing means northern scotland to get favoured for a bit of sunshine, maybe

to the north east of wales, too, and still some sunny breaks possible towards the south and southeast. temperatures lifting just a little bit into tuesday. so it will be a mild day, fairly cloudy one. fireworks add a little bit of colour to proceedings in the evening for bonfire night, with most places staying dry and mild. as we go through the rest of the week, it's a familiar picture — high pressure to the east, but as these weather systems get a bit deeper towards the west, a strengthening southerly airflow. notice on our capital city forecast, the temperatures lift — could hit around 17 or 18 around the moray firth on thursday, but still to the south and east during the next few days, the chance of lots of cloud and some overnight mist and fog.

including dog day afternoon, serpico, carlito's way, heat, the insider and the irishman, dragging you in with big, sometimes scene—chewing performances and then spitting you out at the end credits. keep your nose clean, be a good earner, follow the rules, i don't know how to do anything else. neitherdo i. i don't much want to either. neitherdo i. now, for the first time, al pacino has written down his own story from growing up in new york to the present day here in los angeles, where he's lived for a quarter of a century to be near his children. and last year, he became a dad again. and that is just one of the many subjects which feature in his new autobiography, sonny boy, and that he recently discussed with me once upon a time in hollywood.

i was performing since i was just a little boy. my mother used to take me to the movies when i was as young as three or four years old. she didn't know that she was supplying me with a future. i was immediately attached to watching actors on the screen. since i never had playmates in our apartment and we didn't have a television set yet, i would have nothing but time to think about the movie i had seen the night before. i'd go through the characters in my head, and i would bring them to life, in a way, one by one, in the apartment i lived in. i learned at an early age to make friends with my imagination.
