Are killed in a fire at a factory making school bags in delhi. A 13 year old boy is among three people arrested for involvement in the murder of a woman stabbed to death in northamptonshire. A man is arrested after video emerges of alleged racial abuse of Manchester United players during yesterdays derby. And coming up in a few minutes click examines the role social medias been playing in the world of politics. With just four days to go till the general election, political leaders are spending the day on the campaign trail, emphasising their key messages. Borisjohnson called thursdays vote a historic chance to move forward whileJeremy Corbyn said his party is offering an ambitious plan to transform the country. Our political correspondent, jonathan blake, reports. A warm welcome in wales today forJeremy Corbyn, shoring up support in seats he needs to win. His message that labour would transform the economy through investment in Public Services at levels not seen for decades. You cant cut your way to prosperity, you invest your way to prosperity, and there is no more important investment than investing in young people, children and the next generation, and that is what. Cheering and applause. And that is what i want our Labour Government to do. Borisjohnson and the conservatives may be ahead in the polls, but it is still too close to call. Hello, mr walker, borisjohnson here. Hitting the phones today, he talked up his plan for a new immigration system, and the message he has hammered home since the start. We are a party that is going to get brexit done, by when . By january the sist, and weve got a deal that is ready to go. An absolutely fantastic deal. How many members of the conservative party are standing at this election supporting our deal . Every single one. Both main parties are working to win a majority at westminster, meaning they can form a government and put their plans in place. In this unpredictable election, there is every chance that might not happen, and if neither labour nor the conservatives win enough support, the smaller parties and their policies will come into play. The Scottish National party leader has made it clear labour would have her support and suggested todayJeremy Corbyn would be relying on the snp to get into power. I will never do anything that puts borisjohnson into downing street. He doesnt need to worry . But in order to get a queens speech and the budget through, the labour party, if in a minority position, they need the support of another party. If the snp wins in scotland, i will help with that in the interests of scotland. Smiling in sheffield today, despite feeling a squeeze in the polls, jo swinson says neither Boris Johnson nor Jeremy Corbyn is fit to be prime minister, so what then if her party holds the balance of power . We have already, in the last couple of years, been working very constructively across party lines, with labour mps, with conservative mps and nationalist mps, green mps, independent mps, where we agree to try to secure a peoples vote, and that constructive spirit will be the way the lib dems approach things after the election. The stage is being set for more drama at westminster. In just a few days the election will over and the votes cast will give us a new story to tell. Jonathan blake, bbc news. Jonathan blake is here with me. We have got three days of campaigning left, what will they focus on . Dont expect much to change in terms of the message from the two main parties. Borisjohnson will focus on brexit, saying it is a vote for the conservatives which will facilitate the uks departure from the eu as quickly as possible although a lot of people are arguing he can get it done in the timeframe that he is promising, but that would be the message we hear from that he is promising, but that would be the message we hearfrom him in the coming days. And i can expect him to travel to parts of the country to shore up notjust traditional tory support but seats which could hang in the balance where the conservatives are trying to attract support from people who have voted labour all their lives in these leave voting constituencies that the tories need to pick up, and for labour it will be more like that, their plan to invest in Public Services in the uk to levels we have not seen for a very long time to ta ke not seen for a very long time to take in Key Industries into Public Ownership to tax the richest in society more to do that, but expect more criticism from that from economists who say that economic formula is not as simple asJeremy Corbyn would like it to sound. And then the lib dems, focusing their fire on preventing a conservative majority and pushing forward their similar message of wanting to stop brexit. And in the closing days, all the Campaign Teams will either those polls very closely . A few out today suggest the trend we have seen in the last few days of this campaign which is the conservatives have a lead of ten Percentage Points over labour although the gap has narrowed slightly in recent days. They will wa nt to slightly in recent days. They will want to maintain that in the final few days of campaigning, but labour will look to close the gap further, and what happens if that is the case is that the smaller parties get squeezed out so they will look to keep their messages front and centre as well. But if the poll stay as they are we could look at a significant majority for Boris Johnson and the conservative party but there would not need to be too much of a shift at all for that not to be the case and for another Hung Parliament to be the result of this election. We have seen a lot of talk about tactical voting, advising people how to vote tactically, and also alliances, depending on who wins come the morning of the 13th. How is that going down with the public . It depends where you go. Out and about on the campaign trail, just speaking to the photos which i and my colleagues have done, people are making up their minds on either individual issues all the broad m essa 9 es individual issues all the broad messages that both main parties are putting forward, but of course people make their minds up on local issues as well or with brexit in mind, and that tactical voting mentality to either stop the conservatives winning a majority or to make sure their preferred outcome to make sure their preferred outcome to brexit has more of a chance of getting through. So it will be a factor in this election but we have not necessarily seen the nationwide coordinated campaign that some people hoped would happen around the remain alliance to put forward the resources of parties against the conservatives to stop brexit, so it really will be in pockets of seats around the country that we see tactical voting come to the fore and those results will be there for all to see on friday morning. And well find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrows front pages at 11 30pm in the papers. Theres only one review tonight because the weekend news starts at the later time of 10 30pm. Our guests joining me tonight are the parliamentaryjournalist tony grew and the journalist and broadcaster caroline frost. Police in india have arrested the owner of a bag factory in delhi, where a fire killed more than forty people overnight. Emergency services said their work had been hampered by the narrow streets around the building, but they had been able to rescue more than 50 people. From delhi, Pratiksha Ghildial reports. The blaze broke out on the ground floor of this multistorey factory, in the early hours of the morning, and then quickly spread to other levels. Rescue services say 100 people were sleeping inside the building at the time. They died due to suffocation. At this hospital, relatives of the victims have been waiting for any news on their loved ones. Many victims were migrant labourers from neighbouring states of delhi. There are several heart wrenching stories. Yasmin said her younger brother who died in the fire had been blessed with a baby boy this morning. His third child was born today. He did not know about it. We cant find his dead body. We dont have any information. Mohammed lost two of his brothers in the blaze. My elder brother called me and said, save me, the fire is really big. There is no hope to survive. There are many of us, and we are all stuck inside. The countrys prime minister, narendra modi, described the fire as extremely horrific and expressed his condolences to the families of the victims. This is one of the worst fire incidents in delhi in recent times. But they happen regularly across the country. Many buildings lack proper fire exits and illigal construction is rampant. The cause of the fire is uncertain and the inquiry has now been launched into the incident. Pratiksha ghildial, bbc news, delhi. A 41 year old man has been arrested after video emerged appearing to show players being racially abused during yesterdays manchester football derby. The Manchester United player fred also said he was hit by an object thrown from the stands. Katie gornall reports. It was the moment the Manchester Derby turned ugly. Something has just hit fred. Yesterday, as the united midfielder fred went to take a corner in the second half, objects, including cigarette lighters, were thrown at him. Oh, this is really poor. Things are now raining down. Before a man was caught on camera, apparently making monkey noises and gestures towards uniteds players. A video of the incident began circulating on social media. We encourage people to report and we are really heartened that yesterday a lot of people reported to us. So, that message is clearly getting through. Today, Greater Manchester police announced that a 41 year old man has been arrested, saying. What happened here at the etihad is yet another reminder of how racism continues to plague football, and it comes almost a year to the day after the city forward Raheem Sterling was racially abused playing at stamford bridge. That abuse led to a Chelsea Supporter receiving a permanent ban, while sterling was also one of a number of england players who faced racism and nazi salutes during the euro 2020 qualifiers this year. Last night, Manchester Uniteds players left the pitch celebrating an important win, but today, football yet again has to confront an all too familiar problem. Katie gornall, bbc news, manchester. A Murder Investigation is underway after a 25 year old woman was killed following an attack in rushden in northamptonshire. Two men and a 13 year old boy have been arrested. 0ur correspondent, simonjones, told me the latest. This happened yesterday at about 8. 30pm on wellingborough road. A woman was stabbed to death. We are told she died in the road. Police have made three arrests. A 13 year old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder. A 27 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and another 27 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Police have not said if the victim and those arrested were known to one another, but officers have described this as a tragic event and they say the community is in a state of shock. A lot of people may have seen the aftermath of the attack or seen the attack themselves. They want to hear from anyone who saw anything important and they are asking if anyone has dashcam footage from the scene at the time of the attack. They say the area remains cordoned off and is likely to remain that way for some time to come as the investigation continues. They are working round the clock to bring those responsible to justice and they will have increased patrols over the coming days and hours. They are trying to reassure a community that is very much in a state of shock. The headlines on bbc news campaigning intensifies, as politicians canvass in key battlegrounds with just days until the country goes to the polls. In india, at least a0 people are killed in a fire at a factory making school bags in delhi. A 13 year old boy is among three people arrested for involvement in the murder of a woman stabbed to death in northamptonshire. Lets return to politics now and, as we enter the last few days of campaigning in the general election, the leaders of the parties have been out trying to persuade voters that they offer the best future for the country. 0ur correspondents have been travelling with them. Frankie mccamley is with the labour leader in wales, 0livia richwald is with the lib dem leader in south yorkshire. We start first, though, with Richard Galpin with the prime minister, who was taking calls from voters at the conservative Party Campaign headquarters in central london. In his speech, there was a measure of caution. He was saying that we are in the finalfurlong, but we are not quite there yet. And we need, as he put it, to keep working hard. So i think there is some concern. They obviously want to keep going, really pushing the campaign as hard as possible right the way through until the last minute. They are not taking anything for granted. Today he talked about social care, the fact that, in his manifesto, he promises free care in england for over 655, for those most in need of it. He ran through his manifesto promises, talking about the nhs and criticising the conservative government, saying they are planning on putting it up for sale. Borisjohnson has denied that, saying that, if it was to be a Labour Government, the nhs would be safe. Nothing would be up for sale. Her main message today has been about a regional rebalancing fund of £50 billion which should be spent in the north, outside london and the south east. That message goes down very well up here in the north. It was not a new announcement, it was in the manifesto. The plans include more Railway Electrification and more charging points for electric cars and better broadband access. Jo swinson has had a very busy day. She had a live tv interview this morning, now she is in sheffield and im told after shes finished these interviews she is going canvassing for votes on the streets here in sheffield before whizzing up the m1 tonight to leeds for a live debate on channel 4. As the parties place considerable emphasis on their social media campaigning, Community Groups set up to discuss local issues on facebook have become hotbeds of political discussion. 0ur media editor, amol rajan, reports from hastings on the south coast on the role online forums are playing in the election. You have probably heard a bit about the election today, and chances are, you read about it on Facebook First of all. Research by bbc trending, the bbc social media investigations unit, shows how much of the election conversation around the country is happening in Facebook Groups. Hastings and rye, a marginal, illustrates this story. A closed Facebook Group called hastings 2020 decides aims to be impartial. It was founded by plant biologist russell hall, who keeps it on a tight leash. A lot of people see facebook as a threat to democracy, would you argue that its actually a benefit . Very much it can, yes. I mean, the ability for citizens right across the town to actually talk directly with each other is great. What i am seeing though is a lot of. Well, non factual information being passed around, lets say. It is fake news. I mean, people are consciously doing it. These Facebook Groups show the growing power of self appointed Group Moderators who curate discussion amongst communities that are sometimes bigger than the readership of the local paper. This is where so much of the discussion about this election is taking place, and often it is the groups that were set up to talk about hedgehogs and wheelie bins that have suddenly become the political wild west. Even when they are not about politics. St leonards is on the west of the borough of hastings. Over a decade ago, an open Facebook Group was set up to celebrate st leonards as a tourist destination. Its founder died in 2010. Today, this group has morphed into a hotbed of political activity some of it is horrible. But you went in thinking it was one thing and, actually, it turned out to be something very different. It wasnt what i looked for. I was looking for a lovely local group. Is it hostile to people that dont. . It is hostile. Ive just found it disgusting. Really disgusting. Do you think some people might be surprised that actually its become so political . Yes, but there are 5,000 people, and so what we all do, i think, is we block people that annoy us. Its a really good representation about what is going on. There are a few people that can get deeply offensive. You get what they call trolling, but we deal with that. The closer it has got to the election, it has got livelier. This marginal seat on the south coast shows the new landscape of modern elections online, off message and a long way from the glare of public scrutiny. Amol rajan, bbc news, hastings. 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 rail franchise 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 in 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. Hundreds of thousands of people have filled the narrow streets of hong kong to take part in a peaceful march, demanding greater political rights.

It is very tragic. We have been serving the local community for over 900 yea rs the local community for over 900 years and to have such damage caused to the church is just really sad because actually if people need help at this time of year we would have helped them in any way we can. John weir runs the local Funeral Directors and is helping to look for the stolen cctv box. It is a little black box. Given we held our services yesterday for bereaved families, i services yesterday for bereaved families, lam services yesterday for bereaved families, i am totally appalled by what has gone on. I will put up a £500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. £200 of cash was taken but those responsible. £200 of cash was ta ken but it those responsible. £200 of cash was taken but it is the irreplaceable damage that is hardest to bear.

And it is not just sent margarets which was targeted last night, police told the vicar here that ten miles away church was burgled and half a mile away st thomas it was broken into. They their was damaged and money stolen although we do not yet know if any of these crimes are linked. Services were cancelled this morning but they are working hard to be ready for that service tonight. Michael morpurgo has written some of the best loved childrens books of recent times, from war horse to private peaceful. This christmas, his enchanting story mimi and the mountain dragon is coming to the small screen. 0ur reporter, alex stanger, met sir michael and the bbc Animation Team responsible for bringing his book to life. Meet mimi and her mountain dragon. The latest creations from the pen of sir Michael Morpurgo and two of the stars of bbc 0nes christmas schedule. Its about a little girl having the courage to drive away fear, which is a big subject in our societyjust at the moment. Its a big subject and it always had been. This courage to stand up to fear and drive it away. You know, look it in the eye and say, im not backing down. It was up to over 100 people here at factory studios in cheshire to create the boxing day special. Work began last christmas. The starting point some drawings of mimi by illustrator emily gravatt. We take those illustrations and we develop them on further for animation, lots of character turnarounds, things that we need to be able to create those characters into animatable characters. Many, many artists work on this and we all try to get into heads of the original illustrators. Many people Work Together and we will have to come at the end looking like it was one person that was working on it. So thats probably the most challenging thing, trying to retain the essence of the show. All these animators and they caught this spirit, thats when theyve made this wonderfulfilm. But if ijust sat there and read them the story about a little girl and a dragon, it wouldnt have been good enough, theyve had to really immerse themselves in it and find out the whys and the wherefores and what the story is really about. And how did you find the film . I know that youve just come back from a crew screening last night, so its literally hot off the press. How did you find it . I was overwhelmed. And im not overwhelmed by films and plays of mine that i see generally because very often there are moments in the film and moments in the play when i wish it had been done otherwise. And if im being honest, that does happen. Its very moving. I defy anyone not to have a tear, notjust in one eye, but in two eyes and probably coming out of your nostrils, because thats what happens when you cry a lot. Alex stanger, bbc news. And finally, a performance artist has shocked onlookers at an art show in miami by grabbing an artwork off the wall and eating it. The work, a ripe banana duct taped to the wall by the italian artist maurizio cattelan, was worth £91,000. The gallery said the value of the work lay in the idea behind it, not the individual piece of fruit. The banana was replaced. While munching away, American Performance artist david datu na, named his performance hungry artist, adding that the artwork was delicious. For the next few days the weather is dominated by wind and rain. Heavy rain and showers accompanied by gales and severe gales. The strength of the wind will have more of an impact with disruption possible and the strongest winds are arriving towards the south west of the uk. We have had a lot of showers coming in during today but these two areas of cloud are where we will see the winds are strengthening and already that has been hitting western parts of ireland. As far as the uk is concerned, the strongest winds will be across the south and west of wales and south west england. And heavy rain for a while. Most of that name will clear away, it will be windy everywhere, the wind direction changing to more of a northerly, it will drag down colder air as well. During tomorrow, things slowly come down for the west because we have this ridge of High Pressure building in. It will push the strongest of the winds out into the north sea. It will be pretty windy for much of the day. It will feel cold too with showers at first, one or two coming in of the irish sea into north wales but gradually the showers become fewer and lighter, a lot of places dry with decent sunshine. Still a windy day but less windy but it will feel colder. Briefly during monday evening, as the winds continue to drop, and we may have a touch of frost and aries but then the wind picked up again and we draw in these weather fronts, picking up picked up again and we draw in these weatherfronts, picking up milder air, bringing cloud and rain. Bouts of rain pushing eastwards. The second one looks particularly wet and that will be accompanied by squally winds. Temperatures in double figures for most of us but the wind and rain is the story. And then that modern air get swept away is that rain band sweep the rain clear of eastern parts of england and colder air comes in the area of low pressure that is stuck to the north west of the uk. Gales possible otherwise not as windy on wednesday. A day of sunshine and showers, some of them heavy and fun wintry of the hills in the north and pushing their way into eastern areas, a chilly day with typical temperatures 6 7dc. Hello, this is bbc news. The headlines campaigning intensifies, as politicians canvass in key battlegrounds with just days until the country goes to the polls.
