Secretly recorded criticising Jeremy Corbyn and saying there is no hope of winning the election. Jonathan at as hworth says of winning the election. Jonathan at ashworth says he was justjoshing around. In new zealand, six people are now confirmed dead after yesterdays volcanic eruption. Among the injured are two british women. Aung san suu kyi defence are country myanmar at the International Court ofjustice over genocide of Rohingya Muslims. More alarming Climate Change news as Scientists Say greenland is losing eyes seven times faster than in the 1990s. And at 11 30 p. M. , the papers, with lance price and madeleine grant. Two days before the general election, borisjohnson two days before the general election, Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn have spent the day going to focus their campaigns on what he is see as vote winning issues with our parties. For labour, nhs funding has been the emphasis but the partys Health SpokesmanJonathan Ashworth has had twin sister secret recording of him deciding Jeremy Corbyn was simply banter. Tonight, Jeremy Corbyn says he still has his full support. For the conservatives, borisjohnson has warned a Hung Parliament would mean more uncertainty about brexit. Chanting 0h, Jeremy Corbyn those nails might be nibbled down to the quick by friday. This election matters so much in so many ways. The crowd in the cold in lancashire tried to keep warm with a song. But its hope, not confidence, here. Im just hoping its a miracle and that people are wrong and that labour people get out and vote. The tories are just not taking care of business. They are not taking care of the people of this country. A miracle will happen, yeah, and Boris Johnson will get his just desserts. Eventually, the leader emerged. Cheering chanting 0h, Jeremy Corbyn dont get tired, get invigorated by the rain. Get invigorated by the cold. Get brisk in your walking, but also knock on all those doors and on friday youll have an early christmas present. Thank you very much except even in his home crowd, questions chase him. Mr corbyn, can i ask you aboutjon ashworths comments . Do you agree withjon ashworths comments that you cant win, mr corbyn . One of his allies, jon ashworth, the Shadow Health secretary, was recorded by a tory friend suggesting labour cant win, and that mr corbyn could be a Security Risk in government. The conversation was leaked to a tory supporting website. I was having a bit of banter. Later, awkwardly, he tried to laugh it off. You said more than once to him, the situation for labour is dire. I know, because hes also saying, 0h, Jeremy Corbyns going to win. So its a bit ofjoshing around. And hes leaked it. I cant believe it. Did his boss really think it was just a bit of fun . Ive had a chat with jon ashworth. He called me straight away. Hes out there campaigning for a labour government. Hes out there defending our National Health service, and jon has my full support, and im cool with jon. We get along great. After all this, labour seems right now only likely to square the circle if they had the snps support to put together a government. In exchange, shed say, for another vote on scottish independence. And they share a target. We can make sure we lock borisjohnson out of government. We can find an escape route from the mess of brexit and, crucially, we can put scotlands future into scotlands hands. Even if the lib dems initial burst of enthusiasm hasnt become a surge, every vote in the west country or elsewhere could make a difference. We recognise that this is a fight for the soul of our country. Are we open or closed . Are we generous or selfish . Do we reach out and work with others or do we pull up the drawbridge . We can stop brexit, and we can build a Brighter Future thank you very much. Cheering Boris Johnson, though, is determined to blast through the other parties trying to block his path to a majority. Subtle, hes not. Nor was his dig at labours embarrassment today, speaking at a factory owned by a tory donor. The other very relevant point that mr ashworth made was thatJeremy Corbyn wants to block brexit. And nor was his closing message to the country, the same as on day one. Weve only got 48 hours to get this thing done. I want you now to reflect on the gravity of the choice we have before us. Ive never known a moment when the choice before us was so clear and so stark. Even the tories bus, though, tonight faced its own obstacles, with climate protesters gluing themselves to the vehicle. By their own admission, the conservatives are not yet home and dry. The shipping industry is preparing to bring in new checks on goods leaving mainland britain and heading for Northern Ireland, despite borisjohnson repeatedly denying in the election campaign, that there would be any checks. Our economics editor, faisal islam, has more details. The ferries and container ships traversing the irish sea today loom large in this election. In particular on the Central Claims of getting brexit done by january and implemented by December Next year, and that the deal on the table involves no checks on trade within the United Kingdom between Great Britain and Northern Ireland in particular. There will be no checks on goods going from gb to ni orfrom ni to gb. Another leaked memo from officials circulating whitehall last week and seen by the bbc yesterday has cast doubt on both these claims. This internal memo from officials clearly lists delivering facilities for high levels of checks and controls as one of a number of challenges for delivering the brexit deal in Northern Ireland by the end of next year. And further, that such checks involve security, social and economic impacts. And last night, the Irish Government felt the need to clarify the election claims of no checks. The eu has made it clear they want to minimise the impact of checks on goods coming from gb into Northern Ireland, but at the same time goods coming from Great Britain into Northern Ireland will need to have some checks. Its notjust about the odd check. These leaked documents refer to high levels of checks and controls. That requires new facilities, border inspections posts. The question is exactly where they will be and whether its even possible to do them by the end of 2020. There are several freight crossings between Great Britain and Northern Ireland that currently require no paperwork or checks. Ive been told that freight shipping and port authorities are making plans to make these new checks in Great Britain on exit. Plans discussed recently to deal with checks include diverting freight through liverpool or stranraer and setting up mobile pop up laboratories to test exports at smaller ports. Right now were looking at new administration procedures, new it and potentially port infrastructure. And 12 months is probably a real stretch at the moment. We probably need longer to prepare for this. The pm points to the already limited checks, for example on livestock imported into larne in Northern Ireland from scotland. His argument is that only goods destined for the republic of ireland, and so the eu single market, will need to be checked. But the industry is rather bewildered that when it wants clarity on investing in new infrastructure for checks, the pm has denied during the campaign they will even be needed, raising high scepticism about the pms self imposed brexit deadline of the end of next year. Faisal islam, bbc news in birkenhead. The green party says it will scrap student tuition fees, and write off debts for graduates who paid £9,000 a year. Speaking at an event in central london, the partys deputy leader, amelia womack, said education is a public good that should be free for life, and she called the current fee system in england eye watering. The brexit party leader, nigel farage, has urged brexit supporters to vote tactically in certain seats. Speaking at his final News Conference before polling day, he called on traditional labour supporters to vote for the brexit party, in constituencies he claims the conservatives are unlikely to win. He says borisjohnsons so called oven ready brexit deal, would leave britain with years of indigestion. At midnight we will bring you the bbc Northern Ireland leaders debate. Noel thompson chairs a debate from belfast with the main parties in front of the studio audience. Well the debate over funding for the nhs and its long term future, have seen some of the most intense exchanges between the main parties in the election campaign. So what are the critical, underlying issues the Health Service is grappling with . Our health editor, hugh pym, takes a look at some of the challenges. 70th birthday celebrations for the nhs last year reflecting its status as a much loved institution. No wonder its always at the heart of an election campaign. This time even more so. The front line of the nhs is under immense stress with longer waits for patients and a fierce debate about now needed. So whats the background to all this . Well, first of all, lets look at Health Spending after inflation in england going back to 1979. The conservatives under Margaret Thatcher and john major raised it on average more than 3 per year. Then, under new labour, average annual increases were around 6 . But from 2010 first under the Coalition Government and then under the conservatives it was below 2 . The conservative government has already promised more than 3 until 2024, with labours Campaign Pledge above that, and the lib dems in between. Hospital bed numbers in england have fallen steadily under successive governments, from around 300,000 in the late 1980s. In the last Financial Year there were fewer than 150,000. This partly reflects more patients being looked after in the community and fewer overnight stays for surgery. But the question is, has it gone too far . We are seeing the highest ever a e attendances and we are seeing the longest wait for treatment, but this hasnt come overnight. This has built up over a period of time and what we are seeing is demand outstripping supply, so there isnt the money or the workforce to actually treat people. A key indicator is a e performance. 83. 6 of patients were treated or assessed in four hours in england in october, the lowest ever. In scotland, where it is snp run, the figure was 86 . In wales, run by labour, it was lower at 75. 3 . In Northern Ireland, where the assembly has been suspended, just 65. 3 were seen or assessed in september, way below the target. The debate is mainly around england. Staffing is a challenge with more than one in eight nursing posts in england not filled. The parties have promised more doctors and nurses but training them takes time. There are deep problems to resolve for whoever moves into downing street. Hugh pym, bbc news.

Six people are now known to have died in new zealand, after yesterdays volcanic eruption, with eight people still missing, presumed dead. In all 30 were injured and are being treated in hospital for severe burns, among them, two british women. Dozens of people were out exploring white island, when its volcano, the most active in new zealand, erupted. 0ur correspondent, shaimaa khalil, is in the nearby town of whakatane and joins us live now. The postmortem process is starting to identify those confirmed dead. They are still assessing the situation on the island but so far they have not been able to get close. They said recovering the bodies of those eight people is a priority but they are waiting to see if it is safe but really it is a waiting game for what has become a complicated recovery process. It looks like the surface of another planet. This is white island hours after its devastating eruption. Its dangerous for this rescue helicopter, and for those still looking for survivors. Officials have said there is a 50 chance of another volcanic blast in the next 2a hours. Eight bodies remain buried on this ash covered rock. One of the paramedics who originally helped move the injured to safety described the scene. It was quite a, um. It was quite an experience. It was like, ive seen the chernobyl miniseries and there was just. Everything was blanketed in ash. There was quite a. There was quite an overwhelming feeling. Mary scully lives close to the whakatane harbour. Shes been on a trip to the volcano and white island with a local guide, who is also a family friend. Hayden Marshall Inman was on the island when the volcano erupted. He died of his injuries. Hes a lovely guy, hayden. Weve known hayden since he was Primary School age. Going through the Swimming Club and soccer and all the things kids do. Hes the same age as our son. Mary says her community did not see the island as a threat. Youve got masks, youve got your helmets, glasses. You are well kitted out. Theres a lot of safety things beforehand. I suppose the fact it hasnt erupted before, weve got a bit. We just take it for granted. Health Officials Say those who are being treated in hospitals across the country have suffered severe burns. Two british women are among the wounded. New zealands prime minister, jacinda ardern, visited some of the injured in hospital and thanked those members of the Emergency Services who were first to respond. For years, thousands of tourists have been coming here, getting on these boats to reach the scenic white island, but after this disaster there are already questions about weather warnings of volcanic activity are being taken seriously and whether peoples safety is being compromised. New Zealand Police have launched an investigation to look into the circumstances of the deaths and injuries on white island. An active volcano that has long been a tourist attraction, but has now turned into a site of utter devastation. Shaimaa khalil, bbc news, whakatane. The headlines Boris Johnson the headlines borisjohnson wants voters of a Hung Parliament if they do not support the conservatives. Jeremy corbyn promised a relentless focus on the nhs the labour party went power. In new zealand, six people confirmed dead after yesterdays volcanic eruption. Among the injured, to british women. Two. The International Court ofjustice at the hague, has been hearing claims of how myanmar carried out a Systematic Campaign of genocide, including mass murder, rape and torture, against its Minority Muslim Rohingya population. Myanmars de facto leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, once regarded as a champion of human rights, turned up in court, and is expected to defend her country. It was two years ago when around 700,000 Rohingya Muslims, were driven from myanmar, during a brutal Army Crackdown against people the military said were extremists. Thousands were killed. 0ur myanmar correspondent nick beake reports now, from the hague. They used to think Aung San Suu Kyi was the epitome ofjustice. Not any more. Today, they demanded her arrest. A one time human rights icon now standing up for an army accused of genocide. Good morning, ms suu kyi, are you defending the indefensible . The Nobel Peace Prize laureate took her seat at the uns top court and listened to accounts of the brutality the Rohingya Refugees had suffered in her country. I could smell the stench of genocide from across the border in myanmar. Stories of helplessness in the face of mass killings, of mass rape and mass torture and of children being burned alive in the sanctuary of their homes and places of worship. Nearly 750,000 Rohingya Muslims fled the myanmar armys so called clearance operation in 2017 after attacks on security posts. Myanmar argued its responsible is legitimate in the face of a dangerous Terror Threat and few in the buddhist majority country had sympathy for muslims, widely regarded as illegal immigrants. To this day, they languish in the worlds biggest refugee camp. Their stories as harrowing as ever. Rojina begum explains how the Myanmar Military snatched her baby and threw him in a fire. That her parents and most of her siblings were shot dead. That she was raped by four soldiers. She explains that everyone with her in this photo was killed. Aung san suu kyi is lying in front of the world that the military didnt do anything. Aung san suu kyi didnt have to come to the hague today. She didnt have to sit and listen to the sickening allegations made against her country. She chose to. And tomorrow she will personally defend the country from the charge of genocide. Shell say it simply didnt happen. Its seen as a Patriotic Defence by most of myanmar, including her supporters whod come to court today. But its a strategy that could destroy any remnants of her global reputation. Nick beake, bbc news, the hague. A gp from east london who tricked his patients into having intimate and invasive examinations, has been found guilty of several counts of sexual assault. Manish shah used his position as a trusted doctor, to persuade six female patients that they should undergo unnecessary smear and breast examinations. Last year he was convicted of sexually assaulting another 17 women, between 2009 and 2013, at his surgery in romford. 0ur correspondent, chi chi izundu, has more. Described as a well liked, respected and trusted gp, but the prosecution said manish shah took advantage of that description for his own sexual gratification. 0ne victim was 17. On a number of patients he carried out vaginal and breast examinations when there was no reason to, breaching medical guidelines. He just duped so many people. You know, he used our weaknesses, our fears, and just took complete advantage. But not one time did i actually think that he was doing anything untoward. The court was also told hed mentioned celebrities, like jade goody, whod died with Cervical Cancer is the reason to have the smear test, or Angelina Jolie whod undergone a preventative double mastectomy as a reason to have a breast examination. Hed also falsely written in their medical notes that patients had asked for the examinations when they hadnt. Before our appointment id just be thinking, hell probably do an internal. 0ne former patient who wasnt part of the trial alleged shed had similar experiences. Hes a doctor and you trust them and your gut instinct tells you something is not right, but you cant put your finger on it and you cant go accusing a doctor. Dr shah worked at this east london practice. One of his patients reported him to the Practice Management in 2013. The police were called in and he was suspended. An nhs spokesperson said sympathies were extended to the victims and anyone concerned was urged to contact their helpline. Police sources indicate this is one of the biggest cases of its kind involving one doctor. And it does raise questions about the oversight of gp practices. 0ne lawyer has told the bbc he intends to start civil legal action, seeking compensation on behalf of some former patients. It seems astonishing to my clients that he was able to behave this way for so many years without anyone raising questions. We know he was in practice for a number of years, but these assaults continued over a number of years, and therefore, they have to answer that question as to why questions were not raised internally. His clients werent involved in this case oi a previous case involving 17 other women, which couldnt be reported at the time. Dr shah will be sentenced in february. Chi chi izundu, bbc news, at the old bailey. The government has confirmed cases of bird flu, at a chicken farm in suffolk. A one kilometre exclusion zone has been set up around the farm, but Public Health england says the risk to Public Health, is very low. All 27,000 birds at the commercial property will be culled, after a number were found to have the h5 strain of avian flu. A team of scientists has revealed the alarming rate that greenland is losing ice, seven times faster than in the 1990s. The 96 polar Scientists Say the situation is dire enough to push global sea levels up, and put more people at risk, due to coastal flooding. 0ur science editor, david shukman, is in madrid for a un conference on Climate Change, and hes sent us this report. As the world heats up, the great ice sheet covering greenland is under threat. Huge blocks of ice have always broken off in the summertime, but this process is accelerating. Ive seen for myself how melting ice is sending massive torrents of water to the ocean. More and more of the ice is thawing as temperatures rise. Now a major new study using data from satellites has calculated how much of greenlands ice has disappeared. The areas marked in red are where melting has been most extreme, and the scientist who did the research was shocked. Its quite depressing, really. Um. The ice sheets have been heated by, in greenlands case, by the oceans and the atmosphere for several decades and its got to the state that were in today. Its going to get worse, not better, and its going to continue for decades. Whats happening in greenland has implications right around the world. Since 1992, 3. 8 trillion tonnes of ice have melted from it and ended up in the oceans. That has raised their height by 10. 6 millimetres, which doesnt sound much but for every extra centimetre of sea level, up to 6 million more people are put at risk of flooding, and more melting will make things worse. Siren. A Warning Siren on a winter night six years ago as the coast of lincolnshire was flooded. Imagine how much worse it could be with an even higher sea level. Welcome to the ceremonial opening. All this is being discussed here in madrid at the un climate conference. Countries are arguing over how to stop heating up the planet. Amid all the delegates, a leading scientist tells me there is still time to reduce the gases that are causing the melting. If you cut emissions significantly, you really can limit the impacts from sea level rise. Whereas if you continue to emit on a path that we are now 01 even more severe, that will actually have really severe impacts in the future. So, there is the chance to make a difference . There is a chance, yes. Dont give up hope. Campaigners from 0xfam highlight the dangers of rising seas, and say World Leaders are failing to respond. David shukman, bbc news, madrid.
