With less than a week to go until polls open, the Main Political Party leaders are continuing to push their election pledges to voters. Conservative leader borisjohnson says thursdays poll is historic and a choice to move forwards after brexit. The labour leader, jeremy corbyn, says he has the most ambitious plan to transform our country in decades. Our Political Correspondent Susana Mendonca joins me. Good morning. They are all out and about, the Party Leaders doing interviews, campaign visits, that last push. We have seen the pool narrowing, so a last push. We have seen the pool narrowing, so a reason last push. We have seen the pool narrowing, so a reason why they would all be affected by that. But that the Prime Minister have to say this morning . Is the matter is now not just get this morning . Is the matter is now notjust get brexit done, but allow us notjust get brexit done, but allow us to move on to do other things . Yes, he wants to pitch a conservative government that would move forward, not looked backwards. He was asked if he doesnt manage to get the majority would he stand down . You wouldnt answer those questions. He made it clear that his focus is to get the votes that he needs. The pools have been shipping somewhat. In terms of the message from the conservatives today it has all been about emigration and their points based system. The idea they would bring this and by january 2021, some people asking if it would be possible to change the system so quickly, and making sure it is only the people with the most skill she would comment on the unskilled workers, we would see fewer of them. That raises the question if you could get the number of people you need to filled social care jobs, for example. This is what the Prime Minister said earlier today. People who are exceptional talents, they can come in. You know, first violinists, nuclear physicists, prima ballerinas, whatever, they are going to come in simply by virtue of what they can contribute. Then there will be skilled workers and well have a system so people can come in to work in the nhs or whatever. My question is. And then there would be another sector, a sector specific group who wont have an automatic right to stay, but will come to do particularjobs. What we want to do is bear down on migration particularly of unskilled workers who have no job to come to. For labour, it is the shadow chancellor, John Mcdonnell, who has been the most familiar face in this campaign apartfrom been the most familiar face in this campaign apart from jeremy corbyn. There key focus today is social care and the idea they would spend £10 billion and focus on providing people with personal care within their homes, elderly people who would need that help would not have to pay for it. He has been on the Andrew Marr Show and has been asked about the issue around whether or not he would want to destroy capitalism. People in the past have suggested thatjohn capitalism. People in the past have suggested that John Mcdonnell capitalism. People in the past have suggested thatJohn Mcdonnell is more focused on that. He is making it clear that the labour message in this election is about Public Services and creating a more equal society. I want to make sure our economy works for everybody. Does that mean overthrowing capitalism . No, it means transforming capitalism into a new form. There is a real debate now, not just into a new form. There is a real debate now, notjust here but in europe and america, but her our economy is feeling the vast majority of our people. So you no longer want to overthrow capitalism . I want to transform. You have gone soft . No, i want to transform it in a way that means we have a much more equal, social, just and much more successful one. The big thing now, i have almost diluted to put in my life to it now, is the existential threat of Climate Change and we have to change our economy to meet that challenge. Jo swinson has had a tough few days with the debate over revocation. Nicola sturgeon has also been dying to the Andrew Marr Show. The key policy they are focusing on todayis the key policy they are focusing on today is rebalancing the economy and infrastructure, investing more in infrastructure, investing more in infrastructure and other parts of the country outside of london, so investing in things like railway electrification, charging points for electric cars. Jo swinson has had a problem in terms of the fallout of the liberal democrats revoked policy. This is the idea that they would reverse article 50 and reverse brags that if they were to form a government. That is a toll stretch to see the liberal democrats forming a government, and they can see that now, as well. The alternative position for them is if they were to go into some kind of arrangement with another party, that their focus would be getting another referendum. Jo swinson has come under criticism for that of revoke. Our position as you want to remain in the European Union and some people might think thatis union and some people might think that is an extreme position, but i think it is about the kind of future we want to seek for our country. Doing it without a referendum is what some people would see as extreme. Well, it is doing a true an election, so it is only in the circumstance will be when a majority, it would be a democratic event that most people would realise an electoral earthquake so it would have democratic legitimacy. I recognise some people would criticise this policy, but they are people who want to leave the European Union. There are lots of questions about what happens if we have a hung parliament, with smaller parties trying to prop a bigger parties. Nicola sturgeon has been asked about that today. What potentially could she do if there where a situation where she holds the balance of power, making it clear yet again that she would not facilitate a conservative government, but that she would be willing to support a minority labour government, but there seemed to be some conditions to that. Labour in order to get a queens speech in a budgetary, will need the support of another party. Of scotland. The snp ina hung another party. Of scotland. The snp in a hung parliament, giving scotland enormously rich, then i will exercise that in line with scotlands. I will exercise that in line with scotlands. I want will exercise that in line with scotlands. I want to make sure there is an end to austerity, to the welfare cuts that have cost so much misery. We will put forward progressive policies that i think are good for people across the uk. The pool seem to be narrowing in terms of the conservative lead. Labour seem to be picking up perhaps some lib dems voters. Pools only tell half the story. The real pool is the one on thursday. Only four days to go. Thank you very much. Throughout the election weve been travelling around the country to hear from voters. Tomorrow, the last stop on our election roadtrip sees us roll into the sidings in crewe, historically a railway town at the heart of the uks train travel infastructure. Well hear from voters there about what matters to them in this election. Indian police say at least 43 people have been killed in a huge factory fire in delhi. Its thought that many of those who died were asleep in the building. The blaze, in the old quarter of new delhi, broke out in the early hours of the morning. About 50 people have been rescued and taken to hospital. John mcmanus reports the fire began in one of delhis many factories, sweeping through a six Story Building in a congested residential area. Local media say the building was packed with handbags and other material, all of which helped the fire to grow in strength. As well as retail goods, the Emergency Services say some labourers were also sleeping inside the building, a common occurrence for indias many poor migrant workers. Dozens of fire appliances rushed to the scene to help extinguish the blaze, though the districts narrow streets made access very difficult. Translation we received a call at 5 22am and we had initially sent four vehicles to the spot. A total of 35 tenders have been sent until now. 150 people have been deployed. The rescued people have been sent to different hospitals. The exact number of dead and alive will be available from the hospital. Emergency workers are now combing through the building to check nobody else is trapped. So far, the cause of the fire is unknown, but the State Government says it will launch an investigation. Pratiksha ghildial is in delhi for us and she described the area where the fire took place. Its a really congested old quarter of delhi, lined with narrow alleys, densely populated. There are electrical wires hanging off bowls and buildings. Some of it is really pretty late, as well. Access for big vehicles is pretty difficult here. 0fficials vehicles is pretty difficult here. Officials say that when they got a call at around 5 30am this morning they did rush more than 20 fire engines to the spot, but it was difficult to get them right to the sports of the incident. As a result of which, firefighters had to rescue people manually by going inside the alleys and carrying them out on their shoulders one by one. It is a huge issue in many parts of big indian cities where old quarters continue to remain congested and densely populated. Is it common for workers to be sleeping in the place where they work on the day . Workers to be sleeping in the place where they work on the day7m workers to be sleeping in the place where they work on the day . It is, indeed. Delhi is a city of migrants. There are hundreds of migrants who arrive here every day. They are looking for work. Most of them are poor labourers. When they do find work, in order to save costs for housing and rents they tend to sleep at the workplace and in this case it sounds like the factory where they we re sounds like the factory where they were working. It sounds like about 100 of them were asleep inside when the fire broke out on the ground floor of the building, then quickly spread. Reports say that because the factory manufactures bags, there was a lot of plastics and cardboard inside, which caused fumes to be created very quickly as a result of which people who were sleeping, many of them died because of asphyxiation. Lets take a look at some of other main stories this hour on bbc news. Tens of thousands of pro democracy campaigners in hong kong have begun a march through the city centre. The territorys new police chief has warned that officers will intervene if theres any violence. North korea says it has carried out a very important test at a satellite launching site at sohae.

Manchester city have said that they will issue a lifetime ban to anyone found guilty of racist abuse after Manchester United players said they were targeted during their derby win at the etihad yesterday. City are working with Greater Manchester police to identify any individuals concerned. A video was widely circulated on social media that appeared to show a supporter making a racist gesture towards united players as they prepared to take a corner midway through the second half. The united player fred was also pelted with missiles and hit by an object. Heres the united managers Immediate Reaction after the game. I have seen it on the video, its jesse and fred in there and the fellow, he must be ashamed of himself. Thats unacceptable. And i hope he wont be watching any football any more. We seem to be speaking about it an awful lot over this past six months, eight months. And, you know, its not something that anyone wants to do. Even speaking about it now, its not a nice thing to speak about. But, you know, the necessary departments need to do the right things to stop it in the game, because, you know, thats a big negative of the sport and just of the country, its not something that you want to see.

Anthonyjoshua is heavyweight champion of the world again after beating andy ruinunior on points. Six months on from one of the biggest shocks in boxing history, joshua regained his three titles with a clinical victory in saudi arabia. 0ur Sports Editor dan roan was there. It was a fight he simply dare not lose. As he strode to the ring here at the edge of the desert, anthonyjoshua knew his career and credibility were on the line. 0pponent andy ruinunior, intent on proving his shock victory in theirfirst meeting earlier this year was no fluke. But after cutting the mexican inside the first round, a slimmed down joshua never looked back. Using his jab to expertly control the rounds and Constant Movement to keep his distance from his much heavier rival. It wasnt a classic. The fight never turning into the explosive slugfest that saw ruiz stun the boxing world back in june. Instead, a far more composed joshua kept to his plan, racking up the points, and gaining revenge with a unanimous victory. The british fighter able to celebrate becoming just the fourth heavyweight in history to regain his world title at the first attempt. Tonight was just about winning and trusting my process. I know maybe i could have done more at times, but sometimes simplicity is genius. And that was the motto keep it simple cause its going to lead to a genius performance. I dont want to say that the three months of parting and celebrating affected me. It kind of did. What cani affected me. It kind of did. What can i say . Just learn from this mistake. Anthonyjoshua can now celebrate a defining victory that restores his reputation among the true giants of a compelling heavyweight division, back in boxings big time. Dan roan, bbc news, diriyah. Lets talk about the fight with natasha jonas. We both competed in london 2012. It has been a long six months for him. I think you are best placed to appreciate exactly what he did last night. 0ne placed to appreciate exactly what he did last night. One for purists . It wasnt spectacular, but he certainly did the job. There has been a lot of criticism on social media, but these are the people that said he couldnt box, couldnt take a shot. He has a nswered box, couldnt take a shot. He has answered all those questions. He kept his composure, he stuck to the plan. There were times when it was a bit nervous. You prove that he had a good chin. It took a few shots last night. He shrugged it off and ca ptu re night. He shrugged it off and capture the game and one. He has the superior reach of the job just kept andy ruiz at arm plus s length. To know that you had to do that with so much at so much at stake to great mental strength. Definitely, and i dont think people can appreciate how difficult that is, 12 three minute rounds is a long time to keep your concentration. There we re to keep your concentration. There were only two runs that the judges gave to anti release. That went to prove thats he won the fight. Deontay wilder has the wbc belt that he wants. Boxing is too complicated, but that has to be what his promoters and Deontay Wilder post like promoters what now, for the good of boxing. |j post like promoters what now, for the good of boxing.

The environment has been a key issue for the Political Parties throughout their election campaigns, but have their claims stacked up . Roger harrabin has been examining the main parties biggest promises. It has been by far the greenest election so far in britains political history, with most of the major parties committing to cut heavily the gases that are overheating the climate. Weve had the wildfires in australia that have caused a lot of concern, weve had toxic smoke in delhi and, here in the uk, weve had our own heatwave with record temperatures. So what are the parties promising . Well, the green party and plaid cymru both say that by 2030 we should have stopped all the omissions that are heating the climate. That is extremely ambitious. It would mean all petrol and diesel cars off the road, for instance. Labour, their target is a little bit vague, but perhaps somewhere in the 2030s. The liberal democrats and snp both say it should be done by 2045, and the conservatives by 2050. That conservative target may look weak in comparison, but their own independent advisers say that will itself be tough to achieve. So what does friends of the earth think . Weve looked at all the manifestos and all the commitments made by the main parties and i think there is clear blue water now between the conservatives on the one hand, that are offering some good things like the scaling up of offshore wind and various other things, but unfortunately, committing to airport expansion and road building. The other parties, labour, the liberal democrats and greens, are offering much more in terms of tackling Climate Change. And they are not just talking about cutting emissions, theyre talking about policies that will soak up Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere in the shape of trees. Labours target is really eye watering. They want to plant 100 Million Trees a year. Experts say it can be done, but its a huge stretch. The greens say 70 million, the lib dems 16 million, the snp also 60 million, and the conservatives 30 million theyve been a bit outbid there on the tree front. The other issue is renewables. All the parties are planning very big investment in renewables and also in home insulation. Theres a big difference between them on this, with the greens in particular and labour saying the government should borrow big time to fund major investment, and other parties, the conservatives and the lib dems, being more cautious about that. But here is a warning from the United Nations at the conference this week in madrid. Delegates have been clearly told that the line of omissions of Carbon Dioxide and other Greenhouse Gases is still going up. We have decided, as a world community, that Greenhouse Gases should be going down, but the graph says otherwise. There is a very stark warning from the head of the United Nations. There is no time and no reason to delay. We have the tools, we have the science, we have the resources. Let us also show we have the political will that people demand from us. To do anything less will be a betrayal of our entire human family and all the generations to come. I must say, i have been personally reporting on the subject of Climate Change for 30 years. At last, it seems to me, it is getting the attention it deserves. Whether it gets the policies it needs is a different issue.

Avanti west coast has taken over from Virgin Trains as the operator running the west coast main line. Avantis first train left london euston for manchester piccadilly this morning. Virgin trains was britains longest running rail franchise operating for more than 22 years. Our Business Correspondent Katie Prescott explains what the changes will mean for passengers. Stripped of its colours, one of the last Virgin Trains pulling out of euston station. After a row over pensions liabilities, britains longest running railfranchise is being replaced by ava nti west coast. Its a joint venture between scotland based firstgroup and the uk arm of italys main train operator. The main change that passengers at euston station will notice will be the change of branding, as virgins red and white livery is stripped away and the staff wear new uniforms. But the people in those uniforms will stay the same, as most of the crew, drivers, and even Senior Management are being kept on. All pre booked tickets will still be valid. Passengers will travel on 20 new british built trains, which willjoin refurbished ones on the avanti service. What were trying to do is we are going to offer greater value for money, were going to increase the number of trains that people are going to see, the number of seats will be far greater in a couple of years. And we want to encourage, its very important, the environmental footprint that we all put on the world, we think rail can make a great impact on that. Avanti is italian for forward. These passengers are hoping that the new franchise lives up to its name as the Christmas Holiday approaches. Katie prescott, bbc news. Around 60,000 people took part in a Charity Sleep out last night to highlight the issue of homelessness. 0rganisers of the worlds big sleep 0ut, which began on a small scale in edinburgh three years ago, said 52 cities participated in this years event. 0ur reporter Chi Chi Izundu has more. The idea is simple sleep rough and raise money for the homeless. Thats what hundreds did last night in londons Trafalgar Square. An estimated 1,800 people had signed up, but in 50 cities around the world more than 60,000 people were expected to sleep rough. At this time of year, as the temperature dropped and the entertainment came to an end, there was a gentle coaxing into bed by dame helen mirren. Im your bedtime story. They dont have a home. Theres no roof. Sleeping out in this cold weather, and i have like a million thermals on, is actually quite upsetting. I dont have the change to give them something every day. Its doing Something Like this that almost makes you feel like you can help in some way or another. This is the fourth year Sir Chris Hoy has taken part. You get through it. Its not much fun. Its a pretty grim experience, but thats one night. Only one night, and you get to go home to a warm shower, a warm house, get some food. So its almost impossible to imagine how life must be on the streets. For 20 year old j cocoa, this event mean so much. She used to sleep on buses and in takeaway restaurants when she was homeless as a teenager. It wasnt a comfortable stage of my life. It wasnt a place that i wanted to be in. Nobody wants to be homeless, nobody wants to not know what their next move is in a bad way. And its a very vulnerable place to be in, you know, just having nowhere to stay. Even though it was just one night, those who took part are hoping their efforts can help end homelessness for some forever. Chi chi izundu, bbc news. Now its time for a look at the weather. A calm day to day or a stormy one . Really stormy. The wind possibly Strong Enough in some parts to do some damage and cause disruption if you are travelling first thing tomorrow. That is only the half of it as there are more areas of low pressure to come. This is the beauty we have to face today. Gilts across the board. More persistent rain this afternoon for western scotland and northern ireland, showers being pushed east, wintry across the highest ground. Sunny spells for england and wales, but thundery showers chasing their way eastwards on the strengthening wind. Highs today between seven and 9 degrees. Through this evening and overnight, the wind will peak. This afternoon, gusts around the west coast up to 60 miles an hour. Through the evening and overnight we were kept squally bands of showers moving southwards. Along the irish sea the wind could reach 80 miles an hour. Check your travel plans for tomorrow morning as it could be lingering effects of those very strong winds
