Reportedly which brings the number of dead in the London Bridge attack to eight. 13 people have been convicted following an investigation into abuse at two private care homes for adults with Learning Disabilities in devon. I loved him because we looked great together. And celebrating the life of Ronnie Corbett is stellar performers gather at Westminster Abbey for the Memorial Service today. Its 5 oclock and its the last full day of campaigning before polling day tomorrow in the general election. Party leaders have been on the road trying to emphasise their main policies and messages before tens of millions of people go to the polls across the uk tomorrow. This evening well have the latest on the Party Campaigns and well be reviewing the main Policy Proposals on some of the biggest issues on the eve of polling day. Theresa may has returned to her key message on brexit saying its up to voters to decide which party can be trusted to deliver the best deal. Jeremy corbyn said the election offered a chance to invest more in public services. Our Political Correspondent Eleanor Garnier has the latest. From north, south, east to west, theyre having breakfast on the go, managing to find a moment for a sit down and a cuppa. This is the last push, the final few miles as they try to win you over and even before most voters were awake, theresa may was out in east london. Tomorrow is the big one. Yes. Talking about the conservatives promise to invest billions more in housing, roads and rail. With security dominating the campaign, late last night, mrs may pledged to toughen the laws, if needed, to tackle terrorism. But today returned again and again to her core message. Who do you trust to actually have the strong and stable leadership that is going to deliver the best Dealfor Britain In Europe . Because brexit matters. Brexit is the basis of everything else. We need to get that brexit deal right. All across the uk. The labour leader started his day in glasgow, pledging higher taxes for business and the better off to put billions more into public services. Youve got a choice five more years of tory cuts, longer Waiting Lists and under funded schools in many parts of our country and hope under labour. Hope that our young people are properly treated and hope that our pensioners will keep the triple lock and keep the security that they need and hope to invest in our economy all over the uk. By lunch Timejeremy Corbyn was drawing the crowds in north wales. Its time for a change. A government that supports people all across the uk and deals with the issues of inequality and poverty. As the hours ticked by, theresa may took to the skies to get to her next stop. Before that she caught up with voters playing bowls. A choice between two people who can be prime minister, who do they want to see leading this country into the future and building that stronger, more Prosperous Britain . Hes not aiming for government, but wants the lib dems to be the party of opposition and in the West Midlands, first thing today, urged voters not to give theresa may a blank cheque. To make sure that people have an opportunity to resist the dementia tax, the school cuts, the police cuts, and to give the british people the final say on the brexit deal seems to me a strong offer and one that i hope that the liberal democrats will reap rewards for. In scotland, the snp are warning a vote for labour would let theresa may into government through the back door. If you do not want to wake up to a tory government with a bigger majority and able to do more damage to scotland the only way to stop Thatis To Scotland the only way to stop that is to vote snp. After the vote to leave the eu, ukip are fighting to stay relevant and pushing for a hard brexit. I mean a brexit whereby we reduce immigration, a brexit where we dont pay a divorce bill, brexit where we take back full control of our waters and sign trade deals all over the globe. Dont go out and vote tory, go and vote for the real deal, which is ukip. Its really only the green party looking ahead and saying we have a wave of automation coming in, we have to think about how we tackle those job losses. And also, we arent going to waste £110 billion renewing Trident Nuclear weapons. Its only by having a strong team of plaid cymru mps will we make sure that wales voice is taken seriously and not ignored in the way that it has been since the referendum took place, last june. Of course, its power here the parties are all competing for and theyll be using the last few hours of the campaign to try and win over any waivering voters to help to return their candidate to the House Of Commons. Now, though, its over to you. Time to make your mind up and choose who youd like to see as our next prime minister. Lets get an update from the campaign trail. In a moment well hear from iain watson who is following labour in hertfordshire. But first lets talk to ben wright who is on the conservative battle bus. An update on what is going on in these final hours of campaigning . The West Midlands is where we are at the moment, theresa may has had a long day, she began at 5 30am in a meat market in london and then down to southampton. A key marginal they wa nt to to southampton. A key marginal they want to win. Labour held a majority of 4500. A clue to the kind of seats that they are hoping to get. Then theresa may flew to east anglia, an eventin theresa may flew to east anglia, an event in norwich and then nottingham and now a final rally this evening which will mark the end of her campaign. It all feels quite different to the campaign that Jeremy Corbyn is running. Theresa may does not have great big rallies with thousands of enthusiastic supporters turning up, or much more small scale and control. I do not think that they mind that but certainly we have heard now for six weeks the same message repeated again and again about strong and sta ble again and again about strong and stable leadership. Im trying to make bricks at the centre of this campaign. Earlier in norwich she stressed that is what is about to come, after this election and fundamentally this choice will boil down to the country wants to run those brexit negotiations. She insists she has a plan whereas her opponents to not. But the last few days have seen being grilled on other questions and in particular counterterrorism and what the government should be doing. She has promised new measures without prydie spelling out what they would be. So the message has not gone entirely her weight in the last couple of weeks, other issues are around but there is a relatively confident mood i think on the part of the conservatives as we head into these final events. Thinking about that message of relative confidence in the theresa may camp, how would you describe things on the labour side . May camp, how would you describe things on the labour side7m may camp, how would you describe things on the labour side . It looks confident here as well, we are in watford which was labour under Tony Blairand watford which was labour under tony blair and now has the conservative mp. Labourare blair and now has the conservative mp. Labour are trying to save their on the attack, not simply trying to defend a vulnerable seats. But whether that confidence is misplaced oi whether that confidence is misplaced or not is another matter. There are not many wavering voters here as the crowds gather. What we have seen through the day at these rallies is thatJeremy Corbyn through the day at these rallies is that Jeremy Corbyn can through the day at these rallies is thatJeremy Corbyn can certainly drum up support on the stump as many people are committed to his leadership and have turned out to see him time and again. It is whether those uncommitted voters join in. At the moment theyre trying to put forward a different labour pledged at easter at each of these rallies. This one about scrapping tuition fees, earlier in runcorn that was about more money for the nhs and earlier still pledging to keep those triple locks on the state pension. The key question forJeremy Corbyn is not just a win over these wavering voters but how many of these young voters but how many of these young voters will turn out. More than a million have gone on the electoral register since the election was called but how many of them will actually turn out is whatJeremy Corbyn is hoping for. They hope this is an untapped reservoir of support that could get upset the polls which still have consistently shown a conservative lead. Just on the theme of where that support might come from, you mentioned younger voters, lots of the reports in recent weeks have been about jeremy lots of the reports in recent weeks have been aboutJeremy Corbyn campaigning in areas where labour has been traditionally strong and some people have read into that that those are areas where labour has been concerned. How does watford fit into that pattern . And what is your reading of that . Certainly i think is making a the wearer in effect if labour were hoping to get a hung parliament, they would be able to say look these are the kind of seats that we need to win. That is the case in watford which has been a 3 way marginalfor case in watford which has been a 3 way marginal for many years between labour, the conservatives lib dems of course until 2015 with that fall in lib dem support. Earlier he was in cheshire where they have an 800 majority for the conservatives. Speaking to labour insiders off the record they say far more resources are going into defending liberty, conservative attack. The kind of elliott theresa may is visiting. We expected pick up some labour victories, a few in scotla nd some labour victories, a few in scotland from the assembly in fact. But undoubtedly whatever Jeremy Corbyn is doing with these rallies, certainly the party strategists are putting more resources into trying to defend labour seats from tory attacks although they expect to pick up attacks although they expect to pick up some seats. Expectation of net losses is still the expectation of the record. Well of course the lib dems have been out today campaigning, with tim farron Urging Voters to vote tactically to send a message to theresa may about her plans for leaving the european union. This is where the liberal democrats have been doing some last minute campaigning, tim farron is here and before that he was in hertfordshire in st albans and twickenham where he spoke to Small Businesses about the detrimental effects he says of brexit. The liberal democrats of course have from the outset styled themselves as the anti brexit party, they have been selling themselves to the 48 of the electorate that voted to remain in the eu. They say they are the real opposition and so that has been a central message through this campaign. At the centre of the ma nifesto campaign. At the centre of the manifesto was back pledged to hold a referendum giving the public a chance to have a say on that final deal struck between the government and brussels. They said the people decided to leave the eu and so the people should have a say on that final deal and those terms. They say they want those terms to be beneficial to businesses and People Living over a year but has that message been successful, we will find out in the election tomorrow whether that has cut through. They spoke about other policies along the way but front and centre every constituency stop tim farron has talked about brexit. We will find out tomorrow whether the message has convinced voters to come out and vote for the party. The election has been dominated in recent days by Security Issues in the aftermath of the Terror Attacks in london and manchester. Todays final day of campaigning has seen Party Leaders return to their core messages. For the conservatives brexit and the economy. For labour the nhs and public services. Christian fraser has been looking at manifesto commitments in three key areas the economy, health and housing. Have you made up your mind or do you need a bit of help . Lets have a Fast And Furious Guide to some of the policies the parties are setting out. Well start with the economy. Its always the economy, stupid. Maybe not so much this time, though. The conservatives say theyll balance the budget by 2025. They are ruling out any increases to vat but they will stick with current plans to raise personal tax allowances, those they have set out and cuts to corporation tax. Labour say theyll inject £250 billion into the economy over the next ten years. Therell be no increase in personal National Insurance but there will be a top rate of 50p and higher income taxes for those who earn over £80,000. If there is a hung parliament, the snp will play a bigger role, of course, they would support any plans to balance the uk budget over the next five to seven years. Again their pledge is to protect the low paid but there would be that top rate of 50p. And the liberal democrats, again, pledges to balance the budget. This is really the Marquee Policy for the liberal democrats. Everybody would spend an extra penny in the pound in income tax for a World Class Nhs service and they would inject an extra £100 billion into infrastructure, house building, broadband, schools, etc. Lets look at a devolved issue, health care. We will start with ukip. They would give the nhs an extra £9 billion every year for the next five to seven years. More training for nurses. This one was there in 2015, cracking down on foreign nationals who are not eligible to use the nhs. Labour would commit more than £30 billion in extra funding over the next parliament. This is really a key one, they would guarantee access to nhs treatment within 18 weeks. And the tories say they would increase spending by £8 billion over the course of the next parliament. Up to 202223. And the liberal democrats, we have seen that one, but this one is maybe important, ensuring Mental Health care is similar to the standards in physical health care. Quite a big one that on the doorstep. Lets look at housing, another devolved issue. Rent controls, a big issue for younger voters. The green party making commitments on that. The conservatives say they would build fixed term Council House that could be sold after 15 years under the right to buy scheme. Labour say they will, again, control rent rises and they are promising to build at least 100,000 Council Houses a year and the liberal democrats, 300,000 new homes every year. Cant get through all of them, but please do have a look at the website. All the manifestos are there, from all the parties bbc. Co. Uk news. Useful to underline just what those differences are because people will still be making up their minds this evening. The outcome of tomorrows general election result will be decided in key marginal and target seats around the uk. There are about 100 marginal seats. Jeremy vine is in our election studio he has been considering the scale of the electoral challenge that each of the main Political Parties is facing. Lets look at what the parties may be hoping for, and perhaps fearing as well. Here is the map as it was painted in in the 2015 election only two years ago. Lets look first at the conservative battleground, the seats they are defending, the most marginal, the tightest last time. Gower, derby north, croydon central. These are all ones that they will struggle to hang onto if theyre on the back foot. If they lose just this first column here, the conservatives will be plunged into a minority where they cant outnumber all the other mps in the House Of Commons. But look at it from the other angle. When this Election Campaign started people were talking about a conservative landslide. Well, these are their targets, the ones that they were closest to winning last time. Chester, ealing, berwickshire, brentford, halifax, and so on. If they won the whole of this board, that is 32 extra seats. If they took the whole of the next board as well, right down to oldham and luton, that is another 64 seats, youre talking there about a majority in the House Of Commons of about 130. You would call that a landslide for the conservatives. If it happened. Now, for labour the story is different. It is about trying to improve on ed milibands performance, bad performance, two years ago. So here are their targets. These are the ones they came closest to in 2015. Gower, derby north, croydon central, vale of clewyd, bury north. These are the ones that labour will aim at first this time. If they win the whole of the board, 32 seats. And they go halfway into the next board, roughly speaking, they are then the Biggest Party in the House Of Commons. Take the whole of the next board as well, and they get an overall majority. But that is a lot of seats, just a reminder of how big the task is for labour, they would have to take cleethorpes here, which has a conservative majority of 8000. So very difficult indeed. As for the liberal democrats, they had a shocking election last time, down to eight mps. And by the way, there they are, that is the list. Their first task is to defend their existing mps. After that, it is hard. Even if they took the whole of this board, their target seats, theyre still not quite where they were after the 2010 election. Different story though for the scottish nationalists, the snp, who washed scotland in yellow. Look at the map there, look at the seats here. They took 56 out of 59. And there are defending all of these seats, a huge number. This is the most marginal, berwickshire and roxburgh. If on the night they keep that seat and some of the ones in that first column, then theyre doing very well indeed. But they could lose a column or two and still be easily the Biggest Party. Of course there are nationalists in wales as well, there are the greens and ukip and other parties. Especially in Northern Ireland. But if we watch the map on the night and see how the colours shift, we will have a great sense of who is up and who is down. That was jeromy and of course he will be there bringing in the results with our colleagues on thursday night and friday morning. The number of dead in the London Bridge attack has risen to eight after a body was found in the river thames last night. Its thought to be that of the missing frenchman Xavier Thomas.

As well as the dead, 29 people remain in hospital. Ten in a critical condition. Lives ended or forever changed in an attack which lasted minutes. Sarah campbell, bbc news. Police ivestigating the attacks have carried out more raids this morning. A man in his 30s has been arrested in ilford in east london. It comes as the home office is being put under pressure to explain why one of the attackers the Italian National Yousef Zaghba was allowed into the uk despite the fact that italy had placed him on an eu wide extremist watchlist. Our correspondent wyre davies reports. In the early hours of the morning at this address in the ilford area of east london, Police Arrested a 31 year old man on suspicion of terror offences in connection with saturdays attack. But as known associates and possible accomplices of the three attackers are tracked down, the nagging question how much was known about khurram butt, Rashid Reddaway and Youssef Zaghba before they set out to indiscriminately kill . Rachid redouane. 22 year old Youssef Zaghba, an italian moroccan national, was the last attacker to be identified. In the small Italian Village of fagnano near bologna, where members of his family still live, his mother valeria collina, whose face we are not showing, spoke of an increasingly angry young man, growing up in idyllic surroundings, but radicalised by things he saw and read on the internet. There are no words to express this. I understand what a mother is feeling because im feeling it too. Ican feeling because im feeling it too. I can feel the pain of these people inside my heart. Unconfirmed reports said that Youssef Zaghba was flagged, or authorities were alerted, when he arrived at Stansted Airport earlier this year. But he was allowed to enter the uk, despite a continental wide alert from Italian Police after they had previously stopped him from travelling to syria. When he reportedly told them, he was going to be a terrorist. Similar concerns have already been raised about his accomplice, khurram butt. He was known to the police and had featured in a Tv Documentary about radical islam. One senior former cross Party Adviser on Security Issues told the bbc that lives could have been saved had khurram butt been put under much closer supervision. Khurram butt should have been subject to Something Like a control order. If he had been under a control order, he would not have done what he did and probably the others wouldnt either. Control orders were something i supervised as independent reviewer of Terrorism Legislation between 2005 and 2011. They worked very well. They saved many lives. Investigations continue amid calls for a thorough review of how intelligence is processed and suspects monitored. Wyre davies, bbc news. Muslim leaders have pledged to root out the menace of extremism as they launched an action plan to tackle radicalisation within their communities. Around 100 imams gathered near London Bridge to condemn the recent terrorist atrocities in both the capital and manchester. They were joined by other faith leaders including those from jewish and Christian Communities at a makeshift memorial at the bridge. Imam qari asim is from the British Muslim Forum who organised the gathering. Imams came from across the country and they have congregations of over 1000 each and represent all age groups. Therefore they have the respect and the honour of young people and we are all united in grief and all tired of condemning, all tired of picking up bodies of fellow british people, tired of attacks in our country and as a result we have come out to make a symbolic point that enough is enough and we want to have those Difficult Conversations at all levels to ensure that not one more single life is lost from our fellow brits. But there are some very impressionable young muslims out there, what do you have to say to them . Young people generally are antiestablishment, and what Islamic State have done is to qualified the act of war, Glorify The Act Of Terror and we and other faith leaders are here to say that when you take part in terror, it is not martyrdom, not a short cut to heaven but a short cut to hell. Our correspondent, sara smith, is at new scotland yard. The latest on the investigation . The most Important Development of the day is the death toll is now at eight people. Police cannot say for sure that it will not rise but they say theyre not looking for any more missing people. They do not have any outstanding names in the way they did with Xavier Thomas until last night. So the Casualty Bureau bay had open here trying to sort out who was a victim, that has closed from four oclock this afternoon after taking 3500 calls. That last victim thought to be Xavier Thomas from france, visiting with his girlfriend on London Bridge, she was badly injured by the van. And he had not been seen since. His family said they were worried he may have gone into the river but they were hoping for a miracle. But today the news came that last bit is about a quarter to eight police had found this body about two miles down river from London Bridge. They said the body was recovered by specialist officers from the Police Marine unit. Formal identification has not yet ta ke n unit. Formal identification has not yet taken place but his next of kin have been informed. As far as the Police Investigation is going, they carried out these raids overnight. 1 30am this morning they arrested a man in his 30s and is being questioned by police as a Police Station in south london. So they have two people in custody at the moment, 12 people who were arrested in the days and hours after the attack. They have all been released without charge. And as the shops begin to open and the clear up gets underway in this area as the cord and is listed in some places, the mayor of london has spoken out to say he has seen a spike in hate crimes. The average for london would be around three and half a day, this is islamophobic hate crime in particular. On monday they had 20 reports of that kind of hate crime. He said one of the best things about london as he put it was its defiant unity in the face of adversity. And he said that will not change in the aftermath of what happened on saturday and londoners must pull together. We heard from the ex wife one of the killers. She says she was shocked and saddened by his actions. They have child together, she said her thoughts and efforts were trying to bring up her daughter with some day i will have to explain to her while her father did what he did. Sarah, thanks again. We will have a full update in a moment. Looking at the daves sport as well. Lets catch up with the days weather. Better today, im sure everybody has enjoyed to daves sunshine. Glorious in north yorkshire. Lots of sunshine across the country. The rain lingering in the far north east. At the same time, were starting to see rain pushing into the south west. That will be the story overnight. Changeable at the moment. Wet and windy weather pushing northwards from a chilly night in the far west of scotland. The rain will be the talking point. Some of it really quite heavy, across western slopes. Pushing north into Northern Ireland gradually. Some Thundery Showers following on behind. The southeast may escape the worst of it. Cloudy, or milder. On friday, a brief lull in proceedings. Try, if we get sunshine, relatively warm. All change on saturday, wet and windy weather to come. This is bbc news.

Andy murray still leading 2 1 against Kei Nishikori. Ill be back with plenty more at 6 30 p. M. We should pick up with the campaign. In the final few hours of campaigning ahead of polling day. Early on we reported on the conservative campaign on the Tory Campaign bus. We saw some lib dem activity in carshalton. We will look at other parts of the uk. Our correspondent is in cardiff, Mark Devonport is in belfast. Starting in scotland without correspondent katrina renton, in leith where Nicola Sturgeon was speaking a short time ago. Your sense of this campaign in the final few hours, and the challenges that each of the parties are facing . If you had been her little while ago, this place was packed with activists. Nicola sturgeon rallying the troops ahead of the polls. This being the last big event the snp were holding there. She launched a stinging attack on the conservatives. She has appealed to labour and liberal democrat voters saying even if you dont agree with some of the snp policies. I would guess we can infer independence. A vote for the snp would be the only way to keep the conservatives out. The snp is the only one which will give them a strong voice for scotland at westminster. Why the attack on the conservatives . Because of policy. They believe the tories will make cuts. They are saying the s p is an anti austerity party. They are slightly worried. One of the challenges they face, the conservatives are the opposition in holyrood. They have seen a resurgence, Reef Davidson has detoxify the brand, to an extent. In the polls, the conservatives could pick upa the polls, the conservatives could pick up a number of seats there. That is another concern on that front. They are the Biggest Party with 56 of the 59 seats. The conservatives and rallying the troops in edinburgh, saying if you are againstan troops in edinburgh, saying if you are against an independence referendum, then they are the only party who can be trusted with that. Labour came to glasgow, we saw them at eight oclock this morning, Jeremy Corbyn on the 84th of his rallies. Doing quite a few more since then. Aping his perceived popularity in the polls would bring a bounce scotland. They only have one seat. The liberal democrats campaigning on the cornerstone policies. Staunchly against the second independence referendum. They wa nt second independence referendum. They want a referendum after the brexit deal. So much to choose for voters tomorrow. What will be key, and all the politicians are campaigning for is to get the vote out. I will go straight to Mark Devonport in belfast was fair to say this contest is happening against the background of the pretty turbulent political time in Northern Ireland. Tell us what you think the prospects are heading to tomorrow . We have had a turbulent time. This is the second election will be having in Northern Ireland in the space of three. No functioning power sharing executive. A lot of the debate has concerned me is to blame for the political vacuum at stormont. Once brexit starts happening in reality, the only part of the United Kingdom which will have a land border with the european union. Quite a lot of the Election Debate concerns how brexit should be dealt with. Irish nationalists arguing that Northern Ireland should retain special designated status in the european union. Unionists declaring this combined with nationalists calls for a border poll is an attempt to push Northern Ireland towards a united ireland. We had the election where sinn fein made advances. The Democratic Unionist Party had a bad time. This is the second leg of a two related football match. Sinn fein is seeking to make their momentum. The democratic unionists trying to claw back territory they lost in spring. It may be that the more moderate parties turn out to be the casualties. Their seats look quite vulnerable.
