And coming up at 6. 30, hype building for the long awaited re match, with anthonyjoshua facing andy ruiz tonight. Find out about that and more, in sportsday. Good evening. Questions are being raised about russian interference in the election, after possible links emerged between russia and leaked documents detailing trade discussions between the United States and the uk. The papers were used by labour to claim the conservatives will include the nhs in any deal with the americans after brexit which theyve denied. The documents appeared on the Online Discussion Forum reddit, which said they were linked toa campaign originating from russia. This report from our Political Correspondent ben wright, contains flash photography. Elections are about defence as well as attack. This morning, Boris Johnson was in stockport saying the toys or provide more Grassroots Football funding. But there are also questions about what role russian might be playing in the selection. This sense of reports. Is leaked government document showing trade discussions between the uk in the us was highlighted by labour. The message Board Company reddit said it was posted online by an account linked to a campaign originating in russia. We do need to get to the bottom of that. We have not yet established the truth about that but but i certainly think is that document, whatever it was intended to prove, did not prove withjeremy corbyn and the labour party hope that it would prove. He was out campaigning in wales this evening. They published the trade document in the Public Interest in saying that the Public Interest in saying that the government should release the parliamentary report of russian interference in the last election. The Prime Minister has answers to give when she refuses to do about russian donations to the tory party oi russian donations to the tory party or the report that he is sitting on about russian interference in british politics. There should be no interference by donald trump or the russians. They still do not know exactly how the document got into the Public Domain. One of the possibilities is that this could have been the leak by some kind of foreign actor, not the only hypothesis but it is one of them, but it is a very worrying hypothesis because it looks like official documents of come up on mine and we documents of come up on mine and we do not know how that happened. This campaign is in its closing stages, the final chance for them to pick holes in their opponents arguments to drive their core messages home. While borisjohnson to drive their core messages home. While Boris Johnson feels to drive their core messages home. While borisjohnson feels he has the advantage, this unpredictable election is far from advantage, this unpredictable election is farfrom over. Our Political Correspondent, Jonathan Blake is with me. What is the background to this revelation . We have some details from reddit thatjeremy corbyn has usedit from reddit thatjeremy corbyn has used it to prove that the conservatives want greater access for us companies into the nhs, which is something that the conservatives denied. For these documents came from the rated statement is relatively vague but it does say that we believe this was part of the campaign that had been reported as originating from russia. So they do not depended on specific individuals oi not depended on specific individuals or much detail on who these people are or why they have put these documents in the Public Domain but they have suspended 61 accounts under their policy that they say against vote manipulation and misuse of the platform. So perhaps raising more questions than answers about where these documents came from in the labour party saying simply that they obtain these documents as a result of the freedom of information request and there is no more detail and how they came to be in possession of these documents uncensored which were online for several weeks before there were involved in the Campaign Stop by borisjohnson involved in the Campaign Stop by Boris Johnson saying involved in the Campaign Stop by borisjohnson saying that involved in the Campaign Stop by Boris Johnson saying that there really is no justification but what about the liberal democrats, in a sense, they do not have a dog in this particularfight sense, they do not have a dog in this particular fight but they are concerned about the question of russian influence. They are, making a similar point thatjeremy corbyn has in the wake of this new, these new questions about russian interference in the campaign. She said that evan should be worried that if theres any sign that there could be foreign interference in our own democratic election, and on the reporting to russian interference in the uk politics, specifically the Referendum Campaign in the next general election and the intelligence committee, they re looking into this. The report was finalised and submitted for publication before the election was cool publication before the election was cool, borisjohnson has faced accusations of being based on that. Having sat on that. Butjo swingson said on the campaign visit that it swingson said on the campaign visit thatitis swingson said on the campaign visit that it is sitting on the report of this very topic. There he is, playing a bit of football, a warm up. Ido playing a bit of football, a warm up. I do not think the guy on the left is the candidate. But ijust wa nt to left is the candidate. But ijust want to pick up on something that does affect the conservatives, the problems that the anti semitism accusations have caused jeremy corbyn. Three candidates are being investigated over comments they have made online and actions they have taken online which have been deemed to be potential evidence of anti semitism. Theyre facing accusations against that by name and the conservative parties put out a statement about the investigation which is ongoing into the comments saying that it is being investigated and abuse of any kind is wrong in the conservative parties take decisive action. The Campaign Coordinator has set the Boris Johnson must answer for the anti semitism being promoted in his name. This has come to the floor again after they had to head to bed on friday night over which both leaders clashed on the issue of racism in various forms whether be anti semitism, islamophobia in their respective parties and labour pointing out that candidates in his party will be out on the first bounce of theres any evidence of racism of any kind theyre suggesting that these investigations mean that that policy has not been adhered to by the investigation is clearly under way in the party is not reached a decision yet. Although even the base difficulty because this has emerged after closing nominations. These names will be on the paper even if the party were to dump them as candidates. But even if they wanted to, the names on the ballot papers, people would still be able to vote for them. It is too late to withdraw them even if the party disowns them her bars them from membership. They are still there, the name is still there and there, the name is still there and there still a candidate. It is a difficult one for the parties to ta ke difficult one for the parties to take action on. A slew of opinion polls in the newspapers. Any indication if much as changed in the campaign in terms of what people are saying they would do . The trend has been clear over the past few weeks and the conservatives have a lead. The size of that lead is disputed in variable, but the trend in the polls was for the two parties, the two main parties, labourand was for the two parties, the two main parties, labour and the conservative that supports the difference in their support to narrow with the liberal democrats being squeezed out, but obviously it varies in different parts of the uk and blew out the sea of the coming days whether that is born out of the opinion polls which comes out in the very late stages and lets remember, many people in fact will engage in this campaign in terms of actually making up their mind to they will vote for for the first time, so theyll be keeping an eye on them as theyll be keeping an eye on them as they suggest and they may very well be more to come how people are making up their minds in which campaign is swing the vote. And one of the interesting things set on thatis of the interesting things set on that is the variation which is the National Polls cant always capture. Thank you very much. Lets take a look at some of todays other election news labour has pledged to make englands entire bus fleet electric by 2030. The project would be funded by four billion pounds over ten years from the partys green transformation fund. Liberal democrat leaderjo swinson has been campaigning in the partys target seat of st albans. The lib dems announced plans to scrap Business Rates to help small firms. Snp leader Nicola Sturgeon has been campaigning on ice with a message to voters that there are five days to stop brexit. She predicted that results in scotland would be pivotal to denying the conservatives a commons majority. Theres fresh warning that Climate Change and nutrient pollution are dimnishing oxygen levels in our oceans. Thats the conclusion of the biggest study of its kind, undertaken by the group the International Union for the conservation of nauture. While nutrient run off has been known for decades, researchers say that Climate Change is making the lack of oxygen worse and is having an impact on certain species of fish. Earlier we spoke to minna epps is the director of the iucns Global Marine and polar programe from the Climate Summit in madrid. What we are seeing from the middle of the last century is a 2 decline in the global average. Within that average you have lots of different regional differences and 2 might not seem like a lot but if you think about the terms of the Climate Change debate, we know that even 1 degree will have a huge impact. In the coastal areas, we are now seeing it in the open sea. We are looking at the reporting of your work that around 700 sites have been identified as having low oxygen levels, up from only 45 in the 1960s. 0ver several decades but that is a significant rise . Yes and the low oxygen zones have increased by 11. 5 Square Kilometres and that is the size of the eu. So this is a huge expansion of low oxygen zones. What are the impacts of different species, presumably some species need less oxygen . They are smaller and so on. Presumably some of them are very dependent on the amount of oxygen in the water . That is very true. For example, the species which have a high metabolic rate, let us say the swordfish and tuna, some of the species, they are actually dependent on oxygen rich water. They will be most vulnerable to the change. Deoxygenation also results in other changes that will affect them. It might alter the energy and biochemical cycles affecting these systems that bring nutrients and oxygen rich waters to the surface. We are seeing that if you take the blue marlin, which dives about half a mile down to collect its feed, that is what theyre doing outside the coast of california and we are seeing outside the coast of costa rica and guatemala, they are staying by the surface because they want to stay where there is more oxygen rich water which means they become more vulnerable. Not only is their habitat shrinking but ultimately we will lose biomass. At least 280 people have been killed and two Million People are having to cope with unusually heavy rainfall and flooding in Eastern Africa, according to the un. In somalia warnings have been issued as cyclonic storm pawan nears the coast and in kenya its reported that at least 100 people are dead and more than 30 thousand have been displaced. Francesco rigamonti is from 0xfam and hejoins us from the kenyan capital nairobi. Ahmed 0mar ibrahim is from save the children in somalia and hejoins us from the kenyan capital nairobi. Situation on the ground in somalia. The signs that a Severe Weather event is happening . Thank you for having me. The latest information that we received, they are talking about five to 60,000 people affected in kenya. We have 18,000 people displaced and over 170 people that we re displaced and over 170 people that were killed. As a matter of fact, as are seen before, we are witnessing a phenomenon in the indian ocean, the temperature in the indian ocean getting closer to the coast of kenya is high and creating more rain and this is affecting the whole region and we have witnessed scenes like 0ctober, heavy rains across the region and they, there are expectations were normally they would be finishing. So this is a storm on the scale that people would not be expecting at this time of year. There has not been much warning time to take the evasive action. As a matter of fact, until august we were talking about the situation of drought and it has been unprecedented, i have to say that and a lot of time to prepare for it. The irony, if we can say that in this case with the population that is affected by the heavy rains are the people that were previously affected by the drought, so for a certain extent, the civilizations that we serve were affected by both of these. And the northern part of kenya, there was almost a. 1 Million People that were facing this and the floods that are happening were affecting the same geographical zone. affecting the same geographical zone. 3. 1 million. Affecting the same geographical zone. 3. 1 million. It is an indication of the range of countries 110w indication of the range of countries now affected by this. Some countries have better capacities for responding to major events, somalia is one that does not in kenya is one that does. What is the International Effort that will be needed from charities like yours and governing bodies as well . It is difficult to say at the moment because the Economic Situation around the world is not easy. But it will be important for the International Community to continue supporting this and as you pointed out, some counties are better places to respond, but this event is unprecedented and this has a very big magnet. So there is a need of support by the International Community, but some government across the region, they can also do their part. The government of kenya has already announced the funding and we really hope that this will happen ina and we really hope that this will happen in a timely and effective manner. But we have to recognise that these events are actually quite big and they are already overstretching the capacity across the region of uganda in places that are affected, and also the sudan was affected and i do not think it is just a crisis in kenya, it is a crisis for the whole of africa. We have those three countries, including zimbabwe, has africa gotten better at preparing and responding to these instances was made or is it still a difficult situation because in a sense, it is at the mercy of weather events in the way of perhaps more to it isa it is a difficult question, it is a long term process and i think at this point in time, it is not an easy solution. We have to have investments to save lives now, but also maintaining and potentially expanding the medium and long Term Investment to utilise the vulnerability ease the vulnerability. And the government to respond with the situation. We need resources how to respond with the situation. We need resources now to help the people that are affected, but we need to strengthen the capacity of the government and the local community to be able to respond to these crisis. It is an investment. And the situation will be worse in the future and as you correctly said before, Climate Change in Eastern Africa is compounded by conflict and we continue affecting these areas. Thank you very much for filling this and on that story this evening. Good luck with your operations there. Iran and the United States have carried out a Rare Exchange of prisoners.

There are 100 blazes in drought hit new south wales, half are burning out of control. They can be unpredictable and fast moving. Residents and animals have been forced to flee as walls of flame many metres high bore down on their communities. At any time it might come over the side so we are just going to leave. More than 2,000 firefighters, many of them volunteers, are on the ground in new south wales. Their task, with the crisis now into its fifth week, is exhausting and unrelenting. It is dangerous, too. A water bombing helicopter has crashed landed but the pilot escaped with only minor injuries. Sydney is again shrouded in a toxic, smoky haze blown in from nearby bushfires. Health warnings have been issued and many weekend sporting activities have been cancelled. There are Hazardous Conditions in queensland, too. Parts of the state are blanketed in smoke and about 45 blazes still rage. Bushfires are common in australia but scientists believe this year they have started earlier and have been more intense due to global warming. A woman whod alleged shed been raped in northern india has died in hospital after being set on fire. She was attacked earlier this week as she was on her way to court. Five men, including her alleged rapist, have been arrested. Pratiksha ghil dial reports. The 23 year old woman who died after being set on fire in the Northern State of Uttar Pradesh was on her way to court to testify against her alleged rapists. She was reportedly dragged from near a train station by a group of men to a nearby field and set alight. Five men are under arrest over the attack. The woman had filed a rape complaint against two of them in march this year. The main accused was arrested, but later released on bail. The family is now demanding the Death Penalty for the accused. Translation my sister is no more. The names of these five culprits must also be erased. This comes close on the heels of another brutal gang rape and murder of a young woman in the Southern City of hyderabad. The 27 year old was making her way home after work when she was attacked, raped and set on fire. But a few days later, the accused were shot dead by the police while under detention and after being taken back to the crime scene. It was overwhelmingly welcomed by many indians, however, Human Rights Organisations have asked for investigation into these killings. These cases have once again renewed a debate over Sexual Violence in india, seven years after the gang rape and murder of a student in delhi that had led to massive outrage and resulted in the country tightening its rape laws. But for many, little seems to have changed. Back to the election and there are around a Million People with learning disabilities eligible to vote but around a quarter are not registered. Campaigners say part of the problem is a system thats hard to access. The bbcs Disability Affairs correspondent nikki fox has more. Good evening, are we all right, sheffield . All yes its the highlight of the week. A chance to have a drink, a laugh, and put a cross in a box to maybe win some money. But when it comes to marking the ballot paper on polling day, what are the issues that matter for people with learning disabilities . Bingo toni has volunteered here for around four years. Shes a winner tonight, but shes not been so lucky getting a job and is worried about money. What kind of issues affect you that make you vote a certain way . Benefit wise, like, its really messed my life around. If you were in a room with a load of politicians. Yeah. What would you say . Change the benefits back to the way that they were. The nhs, social care and hate crime are other issues that came up here. But many find it difficult to make their voices heard in an election. How did you find it when you last voted . A bit nerve racking. Hayley has registered to vote, but she gets help from her support worker, beth. Its a bit hard for me to process all the questions. Do you actively explain policies to hayley . Yeah, we would do that. Im not going to put my point of view across to her, because, then, obviously, that would make her vote for what i wanted her to vote for. She is perfectly capable of it. Yeah. Do you think politics, in general, is accessible enough for people with learning disabilities . No. Like, when you watch it on the news, half of the stuff they say, im like, well, i dont understand any of them numbers or percentages and all of what they are saying. Everyone should be entitled to have their say. I want someone who will stand up for me and actually mean it, with, like, in their heart, notjust saying it because it will get them votes. Unlucky for some, the number 13. Most of the major parties have released easy read versions of their manifestos, but not at the same time. Charities say this delay means people with learning disabilities are not given enough time to consider who to vote for. Shes a winner now its time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes hello there. For those of you that have had dry weather and bright skies today, we have got a change in the forecast overnight. A band of heavy rain will push eastwards across the whole of the united kingdom, accompanied by squally, gusty winds. What follows, blustery showers across the north and west of the country. It is the strength of the winds that stops it getting too cold. 0vernight lows of around 6 10 degrees celsius. Tomorrow, it is a windy day, a day of sunny spells and scattered showers. The showers will tend to merge together to give some longer spells of rain in Northern Ireland and scotland, particularly through the course of the afternoon, with strengthening winds and the air across these areas will be getting colder as well. Further south, relatively mild but no one is immune from seeing the odd shower. Some very strong winds developing later in the day. The strongest winds from storm atiyah will be affecting the western coast of ireland, gusts of 80mph here. And then through sunday night, wales and western england could see gusts perhaps in excess of 70mph
