Good evening. President trump has waded into the general election just hours after labour launched its campaign with an attack onjeremy corbyn breaking all conventions. He was speaking to the Brexit Party Leader nigel farage during an interview for lbc. The us president said the labour leader would be bad for the country. Jeremy corbyn hit back, accusing him of trying to interfere in the election. Mr trump called Boris Johnson a fantastic man but criticised his brexit deal and said it restricted the uss ability to do future trade with the uk. Our north america editor jon sopel reports. The us president and nigel farage are close. We madejune the 23rd our Independence Day when we smashed the establishment the Brexit Party Leader has spoken at rallies. Mr nigel farage . And today, the us president returned the favour and appeared on mr farages radio show. And he waded into the british general election with alacrity, in breach of all normal tradition. His first target was the opposition leader, jeremy corbyn. Corbyn would be so bad for your country. Hed be so bad, hed take you in such a bad way. Mr corbyn tweeted this in response in the interview, the president also seemed to advocate a Johnson Farage marriage. I have great relationships with many of the leaders, including boris. Hes a fantastic man and i think hes the exact right guy for the times, i know that you and him will end up doing something that could be terrific if you and he get together as, you know, an unstoppable force. 3. 5 years ago, brexiteers were incensed when barack obama came to london at David Camerons request to argue why britain should vote to remain in the European Union. Ourfocus is in negotiating with a big block of the European Union to get a trade agreement done. And the uk is going to be in the back of the queue. But that sparked a backlash and may well have been counter productive. For all the proclaimed closeness between the president and Prime Minister, the real test of us uk relations will come with the negotiation of a post brexit trade deal and here, the president had another little grenade to toss. He warned that the Withdrawal Agreement negotiated by mrjohnson and eu leaders might, under certain circumstances, make a trade deal with america impossible. Well, the uk was supposed to leave the eu now instead were heading into six weeks of Election Campaigning, with a new brexit deadline at the end of january. Jeremy corbyn launched labours campaign this morning and vowed to transform britain and take on what he called the establishment elite. Our Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg reports. Cheering a roar of welcome for their hero. Who, second time round, reckons he has a chance to be a champion, not just the challenger. In this election taking place because we have not yet left the eu. Today is the 31st of october, the day that borisjohnson promised we would leave the eu. But he has failed, and that failure is his alone. If they won, labour would hold another referendum and maybe leave, maybe stay. So, they want to campaign on more familiar ground. Despite his denials, the nhs is up for grabs by us corporations in a one sided trump trade sell out. Its not for sale the tories are adamant they do not have plans to trade away the health service. That wont stop this, though. Crowd chant not for sale the labour leader knows he might be onto something. Manna from heaven in a room like this. Your pitch to the public today is very similar to in 2017. Why do you think, two years on, you might secure a majority with the same message . Weve had two years of this government, weve had now three tory Prime Ministers since i became leader of the labour party. Were very well prepared for this Election Campaign and going to go out there and do it. Jeremy corbyn the campaigner is back, but its not about the energy of the home crowd, its whether labour can translate this momentum right around the country. Ive already been out campaigning and it is really positive on the doorstep. If were going to have a chance, its got to be now. I dont believe it just in case you were wondering what borisjohnson wants to talk about, he spent the halloween he hadnt hoped for in class in suffolk. Then trumpeting the governments plans for building new hospitals in cambridge. But having to explain why hes asking us to go to the polls at all. This parliament is just not going to vote brexit through, and so, the only thing we can really do now is go to our people, go to the country and say, come on, lets get this thing done. Weve got an oven ready deal, put it in the microwave. The lib dems tried to take their stock brexit message around parliament square. Protesters were more concerned about stopping them. We want a Bright Future for this country and in order to do that, we have to stop brexit. And with the remain bonus we get, invest in Public Services and with the remain bonus we get, invest in our Public Services and have an economy that is growing. This is an election where you cannot say they are all the same. The result could mark a dramatic junction for the country. The westminster system is broken. And thats why the people of scotland need the choice of independence. The parties are all somewhat spooked, with good reason. The doorstep might look familiar but this is an uncertain time, an uncertain campaign, and a very uncertain result. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. Sojeremy corbyn says labour will put forward what he called a radical and exciting plan for real change. Our deputy Political Editor john pienaar looks at what labours key campaign pledges could mean for you. What does it mean for me at work . Jeremy corbyns offered real change, and his plans for rights and rewards for people at work certainly offer that. Take pay under labour, over time, pay would be negotiated separately, sector by sector, nationwide. A much bigger role for trade unions, which would be recognised by law. But some say some companies cant afford to pay as much as others. Youd risk pricing people out of work. On staff ownership, more people would own a stake in their company under labour. 10 of shares in companies with more than 250 staff. Would that deter investment, maybe put bosses off growing their workforce . Or if you own a stake in your company, would you work harder, maybe push up profits . Other big changes a 32 hour working week over 10 years. Sceptics say cut working hours, and people end up being paid less. Are labour going to renationalise everything . A corbyn government would renationalise that means the state owns it on a huge scale. Mail, rail, water, energy. There hasnt been a labour plan so far reaching and radical in nearly a0 years. Critics like the cbi say the cost would be eye watering, nearly £200 billion. Labour say that is over the top and fanciful, and anyway that the profits could go towards paying off interest on the money borrowed to buy the assets. What about schools and hospitals . Were still waiting for detailed costings, but more cash for schools and hospitals is on offer. The party is in something of a bidding war with borisjohnson who is making rival promises to end austerity and invest in our services. What do labour mean by, for the many, not the few . Jeremy corbyn wants to build what he calls a fairer country, with higher taxes on corporations, the rich and the better off. Labour would target those he describes as dodgy landlords, greedy bosses and polluters. It is a long list. Hes promising stronger rights for tenants and for workers. The big arguments whether higher taxes punish success. Labour says its about fairness more from those who can afford it, and anyway most people wont have to pay any more. In this election, so much comes down to who voters trust. Borisjohnsons personal ratings in the polls are low compared to past leaders, butjust now, Jeremy Corbyns are far worse worse than any labour leader in decades. Now, that can change whether it does will have a big impact on the outcome of what could be the most unpredictable general election weve seen. The former conservative mp Antoinette Sandbach has, this evening, announced she isjoining the liberal democrats. Shes the eighth defection to the lib dems this year. Our Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg has more. Anotherformer another former conservative mp, Antoinette Sandbach, has announced she isjoining the liberal democrats. She is an mp who had already gone out of the tory Parking Party of brexit but the lib dems who fancy themselves in are making a big impact in this campaign, it ta kes big impact in this campaign, it takes the total existing mps up to 20 and it gives them another bounce, another reason to be a chill for deal cheerful and that sense of alchemy on the campaign trail, that sense of balance and momentum is the kind of thing that can make a difference is that the liberal democrats are starting off this Campaign Thinking theres a big opportunity out there for them. Because, we will have to see in six weeks if they think they have really been able to make the most of it or whether there are too many obstacles in their way. Well, the latest brexit delay means that businesses are once again having to readjust their preparations and Contingency Planning for leaving the European Union. Our Business Editor simon jack looks at how companies are dealing with another delay to the brexit deadline. The isle of portland, in dorset for centuries, home of the famous portland stone. Underground, there is deep frustration that, having heeded why government calls to prepare for brexit, another date are they doing x rays . Is he being sedated . Has gone trundling by. Politics is making business at the rock face very difficult. Through the brexit process, we had to guess which parts we think were going to go wrong. Michael poultney stockpiled months worth of Machine Parts from italy and sweden twice. We had to stockpile in march. We felt like they couldnt possibly go for a no deal in october again, but as it got closer to the date, we got frightened, i got really concerned. We then had to stockpile again, and each time it was costing us £150,000. Sales have fallen 20 this year as brexit deadlines weighed heavily on his customers confidence. In ludlow, workers at this luxury bike maker can barely move for the stock theyve piled up ahead of the deadline. Weve gotjust over double at the moment but its not all in here yet. What, there is more to come . Yeah, there is more to come over the next few days, its in the uk. Its notjust the cash theyve spent on stock, its the time and effort spent preparing for the unknown. Were not international economists, were experts on bicycles, trying to keep listening to the news and work out whats going on and what it means for us. To have been doing that for well over three years now, its just exhausting, yeah. Its hard to think of a time in living memory when business has been so buffeted by politics. Theyve been told to stockpile, to prepare, to brace themselves protect our little screen protect for a deadline at the end of march, then a deadline at the end of october, theres a new deadline in january next year. And now into the mix, we throw a general election, where businesses wearily pray that they will get some kind of clarity after 3. 5 years of running their businesses on ever shifting political sands. We wontjust be picking up christmas presents this december, but will a new government deliver the certainty Everyone Wants . I dont think the election is going to provide the clarity were looking for. I think, in this situation, its going to be ongoing for years and years. Its about time that we were consulted, the british people were consulted on what needs to happen. I think its probably a good thing if it does give us some form of closure on the situation. However, personally, im probably thinking a second referendum might have been a better choice . In ludlow and in dorset, the brexit period has seemed an eternity. Both businesses are grateful we are not heading over a cliff edge tomorrow, but both are frustrated that, once again, the brexit earth has failed to move as promised. Simon jack, bbc news. More than 50 mps will be standing down at the election thats not unusual. What is though is some of the reasons being given for deciding to go. Some of the 18 women who will be leaving westminster say a growing level of abuse and bullying directed at them and their families, both in person and online has been a factor in their decision. Heres our special correspondent lucy manning. So, who would want to be an mp . Westminster today, and a ministerial car gets this reception. The abuse and aggression causing some female mps to stand down is all too visible. Two mps read messages they have received. Die, you stupid bleep and stay off tv. Your face makes me want to vomit. Betraying your constituents makes you an enemy of the people. Its a damn pity traitors dont get hung any more. Culture secretary nicky morgan is going and the abuse and impact on her family are a factor. Ive had a number of people prosecuted for Death Threats and that sort of thing. And funnily enough, an e mail received recently in my office, which a couple of years ago i think we would have reported to the police, we all sort of agreed, oh well, thats not as offensive as others we get. But it has become, definitely, and every day you open the e mail system up and theres more abusive e mails. Anna soubry is hoping to stay on, but the job has left her in tears. This is a form of terrorism. Its winning. We wouldnt accept it in any othersphere. But because we are deemed to be remoaners, mutineers, traitors, all these awful words that are used, its kind of like we deserve it. So far, 18 women are standing down. Although more male mps are leaving, the female ones are younger and have not been in the commons as long. There has been an enormous increase in abusive tweets sent to mps. Figures shared with the bbc show that, injanuary, mps were receiving 32,000 abusive tweets. And by september, that had increased and mps received 87,000 abusive tweets. In the last nine months, in total, mps were on the receiving end of half a million tweets containing abuse. Male mps also get abuse. Luke pollard is refusing to quit because of it. There has been a homophobic flavour to some of the abuse that i have been getting and the vandalism of my office, twice in one week, including homophobic slurs is the latest. Surrender. Betrayal. The Prime Minister has been criticised for his language and a lack of understanding. I have to say, mr speaker, i have never heard such humbug in all my life. Today he said the abuse was deplorable. We should have zero tolerance for that kind of behaviour and we should defend and protect public servants, whoever they are, whether they are politicians or not. This parliament is ending, with some feeling they have been driven out. Lucy manning, bbc news.

The us house of representatives has stepped up its impeachment investigation into President Trump. The democrat controlled chamber has decided that in future hearings into the process which could remove him from office will be televised and evidence given behind closed doors will be published.

The body of missing backpacker Amelia Bambridge has been found in the sea 30 miles off the coast of cambodia.

Her sister wrote on facebook, now we have to get our amelia back home to england so we can lay her beautiful soul to rest and remember the wonderful life she lived.

So earlier dad had spent another long day in the searing heat looking for his daughter. Theres a couple of fuel tank places over here, but i dont think. He spoke to us just before news of amelias death. Sometimes i think about it, and i start thinking, shes gone, so i start crying to myself, but i try not to think like that. I try to just keep looking. Well, this is the beach where amelia was last seen a week ago. People at the party say that she was laughing, dancing, having a great time. Shed spent two years saving up for this trip to asia, which has ended in the most horrific way, and we may never know what happened in those final moments. The police cant say how amelia ended up in the water. So for now this place of beauty holds the saddest of secrets. Nick beake, bbc news, cambodia. British detectives investigating the death of 19 year old harry dunn have interviewed the main suspect in the united states. The teenager died after the motorcyle he was riding was hit by a car in northamptonshire in august. Anne sacoolas, who is the wife of an american official, left the uk claiming diplomatic immunity. In his interview to lbc, President Trump was asked whether mrs sacoolas could come back to the uk to face charges. He said he would have to see what the final facts are, suggesting he would not rule out a return. A lawyer for the dunn family gave this reaction to President Trumps comments. Our reaction is one of cautious damir dzumhur. Two weeks ago they were making it clear that this lady was never returning and as i interpreted the conversation, i think she was suggesting that the police have been over here this week interviewing the woman but i think he suggested that he would then look into the possibility of her returning to that appears to the family and i had to bea appears to the family and i had to be a welcome shift in their position. If it is true it is clearly a positive development but we will keep our feet on the ground and we will keep going with our campaign to get justice and we will keep going with our campaign to getjustice for harry until she is back in the uk where she belongs.

Its the biggest street cash collection of its kind in europe, with collectors hitting train stations and streets across the capital. Earlier we spoke to britains got talent winner and chelsea pensioner, Colin Thackery about why Remembrance Day is so important to him. I think most people of my age dont want their children and grandchildren to be involved in any form of conflict. Therefore it is important to bring it to the front of the mind. We are raising money to help those guys who are less fortunate than we are. It is notjust people in the service, its their families and people outside but it is important to raise the money. It is important to keep that remembrances on the front of your mind. Certainly if it was anything to go by this morning, people will put tenners and fivers in the bucket, notjust coins so lets just hope that continues for the rest of the day. Now its time for the weather with nick miller. If where you are you have been having a lull in the weather, something dry for a few days, that is set to change to the look around the countryside and you see evidence of how wet over has been to november under way and low pressure is returning to claudia, wetter and windier. In fact potentially stormy for some of us on saturday as we will see in a moment. Lets have a look at the big picture did the first day of november. Low pressure is very much in control, it has been lurking to the south west of the uk and those weather fronts are now on the move being some of us some rain in the day ahead with further low pressure coming in for the weekend. Things have been turning milder and it will be a mild friday across a large part of england, wales and Northern Ireland to the here is the rain pushing north and east during friday to there is a gap and after the rain the sun reappears before the rain the sun reappears before the next downpours begin again. There is a strengthening south western wind with the temperatures towards the mid teens in some spots so still on the cool side in scotland. That first with a front clears away but look at this dig an area of low pressure that deepens as it enters the uk on saturday to that means the wind is getting stronger and the rain is heavier to and uncertainty about the track of the low pressure across the uk so who will see the heaviest rain and the strongest wind dig saturday will probably not look like this but you get an idea that there will be heavy rain, destructive in places and strong wind with scales. Severe gales on the southern flank of the low pressure wherever that may be to get may bring some wind gust on 70 mile an hourto get may bring some wind gust on 70 mile an hour to but it is not set in stone. Just showing you this to get an idea of the possibility for saturday. Temperatures drop a few degrees but there is destructive rain and wind. Follows the events on saturday so keep across the forecasted glow pressure into sunday building a little bit becoming less strong. The wind is not as blowing on sunday but there is still some wet weather around the low pressure as it begins to slowly edged further east, closer to that across parts of scotla nd east, closer to that across parts of scotland and north east england we could see long spells of rain and elsewhere some showers but there will also be dry moments and sunshine at times. He comes another area of low pressure to hot on its hills as we go into monday moving into the uk. Less strong than the one on saturday but it will be blustery around
