League football grounds. We are here at staff at rangers, sir keir starmer wrapping up his visit behind me Stafford Rangers. He was talking to a handful of voters who said they voted conservative last time and were considering Voting Labour at this one. There are a number of Labour Campaigners here as well. The focus for him today was the economy, he is making the accusation that under the conservatives, britain has got poor. Rishi sunak also focusing on the economy, he is making the case is planned for the economy is working keir starmer alleges that under the conservatives, britain has become poorer. Conservative mps in particular are Stepping Down, among them michael gove. I asked Keir Starmerfor his Reaction Them michael gove. I asked keir starmer for his reaction to that decision. Michael gove is Stepping Down and i obviously michael gove is Stepping Down and i obviously wish him well but i think its significant he is Stepping Down because its significant he is Stepping Down because i its significant he is Stepping Down because i think hes got a reputation of delivering in government and when someone of his Senior Government and when someone of his senior reputation effectively says that he senior reputation effectively says that he doesnt have faith in what rishi that he doesnt have faith in what rishi sunak is putting forward in this election, it does beg the question. This election, it does beg the question, why should voters have faith in question, why should voters have faith in what rishi sunak is putting forward faith in what rishi sunak is putting forward when his senior politicians dont forward when his senior politicians dont have forward when his senior politicians dont have faith and are basically getting dont have faith and are basically getting off the bus . Sir keir starmer talking about his view on Michael Goves decision to step down. Its worth saying that michael gove made a point in his Resignation Letter of Praising Rishi Sunak and his chances in this General Election. The Liberal Democrats obviously targeting Michael Goves seat in surrey heath, they are making the claim that michael gove is running scared of him. Obviously michael gove would dispute that. But here in the west midlands, this is exactly the kind of seats that labour needs to win if they are going to win that majority in the General Election. We are at Stafford Rangers football club, currently a conservative held seat with a conservative mp, and this is exactly the kind of place that sir keir starmer will be focusing his campaign over the next few weeks, areas that labour need to win if they are going to win that majority injuly the 4th. Lets cross to chichester. Ijust missed sir Ed Davey Walking past you, i believe, the Liberal Democrats out in force today. They certainly are. Democrats out in force today. They certainly are, ed democrats out in force today. They certainly are, ed davey democrats out in force today. They certainly are, ed davey has democrats out in force today. Tie certainly are, ed davey has been out on a boat, this boat behind me, with the lib dems candidate called jess brown fuller, on a little boat trip around the harbour, highlighting the beauties of this area and this is a beautiful constituency for the lib dems because they are hoping to make inroads here. Its going to be a tough task because the tories have a majority of 21,000. The incumbent at the moment is the education secretary Gillian Keegan through the lib dems really are going to have their work cut out to make inroads but they have some things on their side, they did really well in local Council Elections last year, they controlled the District Council and the city council of chichester. Today, they will be launching their sewage policy, it is kind of relevant that he has been out on the water. Sir ed davey wants to bring home that liberal democrat message that they will be looking after water, lakes, rivers, seas, they are concerned about clean water in the uk so they are launching their policy today, one plank of that policy today, one plank of that policy will be to replace the Water Regulator ofwat with a new Oversight Organisation which would involve local Grassroots Organisations such as environmental groups which would be on the board of this regulator. They also want to see what your boss is bonuses cut and feel that water bosses bonuses should not happen if there are Sewage Outages so thats just part of the lib dems policy that they are outlined today In Chichester. That they are outlined today In Chichester. ,. , chichester. You definitely got the aood chichester. You definitely got the good send. Chichester.

In truth, its been a quieter day for the Prime Minister than the last few days, he had been sitting around the country but we are not expecting to hear any more from him today after this morning which was pretty low key. He didnt address michael gove and others are standing down. What we have heard from the conservatives today is more of a focus on the economy. That comes after the influential think tank the Institute For Fiscal Studies said that the public finances are hanging over this Campaign Like a dark cloud. We have a Chance Lejeremy Hunt in an interview with the Daily Telegraph this morning saying he would be focusing on tax cuts for working people the chancellor jeremy hunt. Thats on top of the two he has already done. He also talked about tax cuts that would boost growth and tax cuts for people who earn between 100000 and 125,000 a year. Not so much on the conservatives are Stepping Down which im sure will be at the forefront of the Prime Minister and other conservatives mines but lots more on the economy. fine other conservatives mines but lots more on the economy. Other conservatives mines but lots more on the economy. One person who has been talking more on the economy. One person who has been talking about more on the economy. One person who has been talking about it more on the economy. One person who has been talking about it is has been talking about it is Scottish Conservative leader douglas ross who was asked about the high number of mps Stepping Down including significant numbers from the Prime Ministers partyand heres what he had to say. We are seeing mps from all parties are standing down, some who have served are standing down, some who have served in are standing down, some who have served in parliament for a long tinre, served in parliament for a long time, there another labour mp a few days ago time, there another labour mp a few days ago who i think is from the 2016.

To israel now where has the military has continued its attacks across gaza including in the city of rafah despite the uns top court ordering it to immediately stop its offensive there on friday. The European Unions top diplomat says the bloc will have to make a choice between supporting israel, or International Institutions and the rule of law. Josep borrell was speaking after the Uns Highest Court ruled that israel had to halt its Military Offensive in response to a case brought by south africa. Theyve accused israel of violating the Un Genocide Convention in gaza. Israel has said no power on earth will stop it going after hamas. Our Diplomatic Correspondent paul adams is injerusalem. Theres certainly no sign yet of a letup in israels Military Campaign in the Southern Gaza strip. Weve heard reports this morning of fresh air strikes in the rafah area. What we dont yet know is the situation on the ground. We know that israeli troops and armour are poised very close to the center of rafah, but they havent yet gone into the center of that built up area. And we dont know exactly what the military� s plans are. Israel continues to say that the operation is limited. It highlights the fact that it has given civilians lots of opportunity to move out of harms way. But the Uns Humanitarian Affairs boss, martin griffiths, tweeted last night that there is nothing limited about this campaign. He said, and i quote, the Ground Incursion In Rafah has displaced more than 800,000 people, fleeing once again in fear for their lives and arriving in areas without adequate shelter, latrines and clean water. So the uns view is that this is having a major impact on the civilian population of the Southern Gaza strip and one that is not being properly addressed from the Point Of View of aid and shelter and Everything Else that people need. Of course, there is still the fear of what happens to the hundreds of thousands of people who are still in rafah, who have yet to flee, who have yet to be told to flee by the israelis. What happens to them if indeed a full scale invasion of the city takes place . One slight development on the Aid Situation Last Night following a call Betweenjoe Biden and the egyptian leader Abdel Fattah El sisi. Egypt has agreed to send trucks that were backed up, waiting to go into through the rafah crossing, which is closed has been for the last two or three weeks, egypt has agreed to send those trucks round to the kerem shalom crossing, that is the israeli crossing nearby that could help the flow of aid into the Southern Gaza strip, but its a little early to know. Political rallies are taking place across south africa today as parties make Theirfinal Attemps To Win Support ahead of wednesdays election. Its expected to be the most tightly contested poll since democracy was introduced 30 years ago. Analysts say the governing African National congressis is at risk of losing its overall majority for the first time. Lets cross to my colleague catherine byaruhanga, who is following events from the anc� s final pre election rally in johannesburg. You are inside the stadium now, whats the atmosphere like, catherine . Whats the atmosphere like, catherine . , , catherine . The atmosphere is electric. There catherine . The atmosphere is electric. There is catherine . The atmosphere is electric. There is pumping catherine . The atmosphere is i electric. There is Pumping Music playing out from the speakers. Im sure people around the world would know of south africas piano music. The crowds have been dancing. This has been a bruising election for the anc though, poll after poll shows the party losing its outright majority in parliament. The last poll was just from a few days ago and shows that it would gain about 40 of the seats. This is a huge come down from the 57 it was able to win last time back in 2019. Now there are huge challenges for the anc as it holds rallies like this, trying to convince south africans to vote for it. On the one hand, there are questions about what it has done during the last three decades in power. There are questions about creating jobs, the lack of electricity and poor Health Services as well. But there have also been divisions within the anc, some of its biggest leaders of the former president jacob zuma, have its biggest leaders of the former president jacob zuma, have left. Its biggest leaders of the former president jacob zuma, have left. He has started his own party that is competing against anc for the same votes. There is also the party of julius malema, who used to be a youth leader within the anc, he formed the eff, they are holding their own rally today. The big question is with these elections, there is the prospect that the anc would lose its majority, this will be a first for south africa since its democratic elections, and it would have to form a coalition with other parties and that could possibly cause instability for governance in the country. Today as you can see behind me, the anc is saying its ready to go to the polls on wednesday and it anticipates it will get a majority of the votes come wednesday.
