After an emotional triumph for anthonyjoshua in saudi arabia, he tells the bbc hes setting his sights ever higher. When i keep on breaking down each barrier, and i keep on getting over each hurdle, sooner or later, ill be looking directly at the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world. And ripe for the picking the fate of a £90,000 artwork. Good evening. With just four days to go till the general election, political leaders have spent 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. Heres our deputy political editor, john pienaar. The cabinets orders today hit the phones. And a surprise call for someone. Hello, mr walker, hi, its borisjohnson. Well, at least it wasnt a phone prankster or a con artist, though his opponents claim borisjohnson is a bit of both. Just four days to go and hes after more votes and more trust, today, promising to bear down on immigration after brexit, and campaigning on his favourite theme. We are a party that is going to get brexit done. By when . By 31st january, and weve got a deal thats ready to go. Its an absolutely fantastic deal, isnt it . Its already there. How many members of the conservative Party Standing at this election support our deal . Every single one. All the leaders are hammering their core messages in the time thats left. The labour leader in wales trying to reach beyond the converted with his pledge of an economy transformed, of billions more for hard up services. You cant cut your way to prosperity, you invest your way to prosperity, and theres no more important investment than investing in young people, children and the next generation, and that is what. Applause. And that is what i want our Labour Government to do. Welcome tojo swinson, leader. Jo swinson has changed direction, talking less about reaching downing street, suddenly cancelling brexit, more about hooking up with others to get another eu referendum. We have already in the last couple of years been working very constructively across party lines with labour mps, with conservative mps, with nationalist mps, with green mps, independent mps, where we agree to try and secure a peoples vote, and that constructive spirit will be the way in which liberal democrats will approach things after the election. And if no party wins on its own, the snp leader knows who she could support in exchange for an independence referendum, among other demands, and who she couldnt. I will never do anything that puts borisjohnson into downing street. So, he doesnt need to worry . But labour, in order to get a queens speech and a budget through if they are in a name in our minority position need the support of another party, and if scotland votes for the snp in a Hung Parliament giving scotland enormous leverage, then i will exercise that firstly in line with scotlands interests. Not long till we know who, if anyone, ends up in control here, after the theatre of election night, after millions of british Voters Decide on thursday whose wishes are finally granted. And john is with me now. What would you say is the strategy being deployed in these final days, and what are the hurdles to overcome . Well, everything you hear in these last few days, if it sounds familiar, it is because it is supposed to. On all sides, the parties are calculating that the voters who could decide the shape of the final result will only make up their minds at this, the tail end of their minds at this, the tail end of the campaign, and they all have work to do, notjust in getting their loyal vote out but in addressing the Big Questions of trust that hangover certainly the two main contenders for downing street, borisjohnson and Jeremy Corbyn. Labour campaigners out on the campaign admit privately that a lot of habitual labour voters are saying they dont want to see Jeremy Corbyn in no 10, but borisjohnson also has his issues of trust. Today, that thorny issue of the irish border after brexit flared up again, there was borisjohnson insisting that goods would flow back and forward between the island of ireland and mainland great britain, without stops and checks, and he said a government report that said the opposite was simply wrong. Now, experts and ministers in his own government to contradict that. And by the way, tomorrows Financial Times carries a report on another government report, which disputes Boris Johnsons government report, which disputes borisjohnsons claim that britain could be ready to leave the eu clea nly could be ready to leave the eu cleanly at the end of december 2020. It is not just cleanly at the end of december 2020. It is notjust about cleanly at the end of december 2020. It is not just about who cleanly at the end of december 2020. It is notjust about who the Voters Decide to trust, it is more, arguably, about who they choose to trust least. And it is quite extraordinary from one point of view that with so much at stake in this election, so many voters seem to regard the choices on offer with so little enthusiasm john pienaar, thank you very much. Success on thursday will depend heavily on how well the parties perform in marginal seats. Warrington south in cheshire is one of them. It voted to leave in the eu referendum, and in 2017, labour took it from the conservatives with a majority ofjust over 2,500. Bbc north wests political editor, nina warhurst, reports. Things seem to be moving in the right direction here. Unemployment is low, wages above average, the number of businesses has almost doubled in a decade. In warrington, you can still feel the legacy of the industrial revolution. Surrounding hamlets have become honeypots for the metropolitan overspill of liverpool and manchester. This is stockton heath, and this changing environment is the onejen has grown up in, and she recently joined the labour party because she doesnt think success here is being shared, and she blames the government. Theres food banks in warrington, like, yeah, ijust think that we we need to do more more for more people. We are one of the richest countries in the world, and why are people struggling so much in this country . Steel. Some of this will become the spines of schools and hospitals, parts of multi Million Pound projects, which martin says the state doesnt always manage well. The way they spend the money is very good for the construction industry, and i can make a lot of money out of it, but i dont agree with it. You think theres too much waste . I know there is. You know, whats really interesting here is that, more than anywhere elsewhere ive been since this election was called, is that no two people are the same. Everybody seems to be worrying about something different. And many of them are yet to make up their mind on who will get their vote. Four miles north is delem, a different world to stockton heath. Here, carol says shes struggling on universal credit. What she wants is more investment in her community. More things for youths to do of an evening, weekends, holidays. Because we cant afford to send them to clubs, its far too expensive, so, if it was government funded, it would be a lot easier, especially for the parents that work. Do you feel politicians care about you, care about your family . No, ha ha no. Heading south into the cheshire hills, this is lymm, where debate is centred around the political issue of our time. I think it is a pickle, if im completely honest with you. I voted to remain in the eu, but i think that boris, for me, is a good candidate, i think hes right for britain, but im not sure that brexit is completely right for britain. Do you ever remember feeling this conflicted before ahead of an election . Never because before, never felt anywhere near this conflicted. For their businesses, orfor theirfamilies . With their hearts or with their heads . The way warrington south votes will keep us guessing until friday 13th. The way warrington south votes will keep us guessing until friday 13th.

Emergency services said their work had been hampered by the difficulty of accessing the building, and that it was lacking basic safety equipment. From delhi, Pratiksha Ghildial reports. The blaze broke out on the ground floor of this multi storey factory in the early hours of the morning, and then quickly spread to other levels. Rescue services say at least 100 people were sleeping in the building at the time, and died due to suffocation. At this hospital, relatives of the victims have been waiting desperately all day for any news about their loved ones. Many of the victims were migrant labourers from delhis neighbouring states. Among the families, there are several heart wrenching stories. Yasmin says her younger brother, who died in the fire, had been blessed with a baby boy this morning. Translation 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. Translation my older brother called me and said, save me, the fire is really big, so 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 illegal construction is rampant. The cause of the fire is uncertain and an inquiry has now been launched into the incident. Pratiksha ghildial, bbc news, delhi. Three people including a 13 year old boy have been arrested in northamptonshire by Police Investigating a murder. A 25 year old woman was stabbed in rushden last night. Northamptonshire police said paramedics were called, but she died at the scene. The us defence secretary has ordered a review of the screening process for Foreign Military in the country, after three sailors were killed on a Florida Naval base.

A 41 year old man has been arrested after video emerged appearing to show Manchester United players being racially abused by monkey gestures and chanting during yesterdays derby at manchester citys etihad stadium. 0ne footballer was also struck by objects thrown from the stands. Katie gornall reports. It was the moment the Manchester Derby turned ugly. Commentator something has just hit fred.

Today, Greater Manchester police announced that a 41 year old man has been arrested, saying they hope. This arrest shows that we are taking this matter really seriously. And that they will. 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. It grabbed the headlines and 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. The necessary departments need to do the right things to stop it in the game, because it is a big negative of the sport, and just for the country, its not something that you want to see. Manchester uniteds players celebrated an important win last night, but today, football again has to confront an all too familiar problem. Katie gornall, bbc news, manchester. Russia will discover tomorrow if it is to be banned from hosting and competing in all major sporting events for four years. The ban was proposed after russian officials were found to have manipulated drug test data. If the World Anti Doping Agency wada decides to enforce it, it will be a major blow to russias reputation and prestige. 0ur moscow correspondent Sarah Rainsford reports. These are nervous times for russian athletes, unsure what lies ahead. Anna has won multiple medals for her country, but russia is now sliding towards a four year ban from global sport for tampering with data on doping tests. I still am training and i am just going to focus on this because that is the area that i can control. The scandal began with the 2014 sochi 0lympics. For russia, for president putin, the games were a show of strength. But that proud party was ruined when a massive cheating scheme was revealed. Yuri ganus was part of the clean up act. Hes since reformed russias anti doping agency. But to prove things have really changed, officials had to hand over a key database of test results. Thousands of entries were deleted . Yes. Thousands . Thousands. For that, athletes are facing fresh sanctions. Mr ganus has come under pressure for speaking out but he wants those responsible removed. It is impossible to continue using this approach in the future, because today, we live in the tragedy time in russia, in sports, in russia. You still hear people here claiming this is all an anti russian claim, denying the evidence, as russia has done in so many other cases. But there are also people who are amazed that their countrys who are amazed at their countrys capacity for self harm, that, instead of moving on from this crisis and ending the isolation, russia has only made the situation even worse. When i tried asking the minister who was to blame for that, who altered the database, he refused repeatedly to answer. The consequences for russian athletes, though, will be far harder to avoid.
