Formula 1 world title. He is nowjust one short of michael shumachers record. And we will be taking an in depth look at the papers with our reviewers, the parliamentaryjournalist tony grew and the journalist and author caroline frost. Stay with us for that. The leader of the brexit party, nigel farage, says he wont be running for a seat at westminster in the coming general election. Instead, he says he will focus on touring the country to support his partys candidates. The news comes days after borisjohnson rejected a call from mr farage to form an Electoral Alliance with the conservatives. Here is our Political Correspondent nick eardley. Love him or hate him, nigel farage has been a key face in british politics for years. Its like sponsored drinking. There might be fewer pints these days, more chats with us president s instead. But after years of trying, seven elections, to be precise, this time he wont be standing to be an mp. I dont want to be in politics for the rest of my life. Do i find a seat, try to get myself into parliament, or do i serve the cause better traversing the length and breadth of the united kingdom, supporting 600 candidates . And ive decided that the latter course is the right one. So you are not going to stand yourself . No very difficult to do both. Not that he is disappearing. After borisjohnson rejected his offer of a pro brexit pact, he is stepping up his attacks on the governments deal. It doesnt get us out of anything. It doesnt work on any level. It is a gigantic con. We should not sell out to this. Its a remainers brexit. It is virtually worse than staying where we are, and if we go through this route, we will finish up rejoining. Does it matter . Some think it could split the pro brexit vote, allowing labour through the middle, like happened here in peterborough in june. But, with polls suggesting more leave supporters backing the tories, they are hoping to squeeze the brexit partys vote. The only way to end this uncertainty, to end this indecision, and move on to focus on what they want is to vote for a majority conservative government that, yes, is going to get brexit done in a matter of weeks, but also has an exciting and inclusive agenda. The brexit party are gunning for labour votes, too. Jeremy corbyn had this to say on mr farages decision not to stand. Well, its obviously his decision. Its a bit weird to lead a Political Party that is apparently contesting all or most of the seats up in the election, and he himself is not offering himself for election. Hes obviously very comfortable on his mep salary. The brexit party will unveil hundreds of candidates here in westminster tomorrow. But the fact that their star name wont be among them may be for some a tacit admission that this could be a tough general election for the party. And perhaps there was a personal calculation for nigel farage too that the threat of possibly failing for an eighth time to become an mp just wasnt worth it. Nigel farage still wants to be part of the brexit debate, but at this election, that doesnt mean standing. Nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. Lets take a look at some of the days other election news Jeremy Corbyn has been setting out labours plans to upgrade around 27 million homes in the uk to make them more energy efficient. The party says the move would cut uk Carbon Emissions by 10 and is the largest Home Improvement programme for decades. The government has confirmed the freeze in increases in benefit payments is to come to an end next year. Working age benefits such as universal credit and jobseekers allowance will rise by 1. 7 from april. It means someone on jobseekers allowance will see payments rise from £73. 10 a week to £74. 34, a rise of £1. 24. The leader of the Scottish National party at westminster, ian blackford, says the election will be an opportunity to prove there is a mandate for another referendum on scottish independence. The conservatives and scottish labour oppose the idea of another vote. The liberal democrat leader, jo swinson, says she is considering an Electoral Alliance in dozens of seats across the uk to try to maximise the number of anti brexit mps in the new parliament. She says talks are being held with plaid cymru and the greens. A bbc investigation has found that children in care in england and wales are being placed in caravans, narrowboats and holiday homes. The bbc has also seen examples of some providers exploiting loopholes in the law, with the number of under i6 year olds living in these types of unregistered accomodation having tripled in the last two years. The head of the watchdog for childrens services, ofsted, has called the situation a national scandal. Our special correspondent ed thomas has this exclusive report. I couldnt believe that such a place actually existed. I found it very restrictive. It was enclosed, with a fence around it. The sleeping arrangements are very tough. Yasim runs childrens homes. He was asked to assess a narrowboat by a London Council who had placed a 14 year old there. The Company Running it was unregulated. They were placed over 200 miles from their family. Im absolutely disgusted at how this has been allowed to happen. This is the boat. Ofsted says it is legal for an unregulated home to accommodate children if they offer support and not care, short holiday breaks, or are mobile, like the narrow boat. We understand the boy was unhappy with his placement. He wanted to give an interview to us, but the council denied permission for him to speak to the bbc. Bromley council says it only uses such placements in exceptional circumstances. The company says the narrowboat offers comforts normally found in a bedroom, and provides short, Outward Bound courses supporting the child, who was free to leave if supervised. But elsewhere, weve learned of loopholes being exploited. Here in blackpool, care children would spend up to four weeks in one caravan before being moved to another in the same park. What was happening . In a different case, Dorset Council placed a 15 Year Old Girl in eight unregulated homes run a number of companies, including at this holiday home. She picked the knife up and started waving it round in front of my face. Just didnt want to be here. An absolute nervous wreck. You know, she was upset. The two carers then started explaining why shes here, to be assessed and all that. And i said, well, you cant be here. This is not for that. Dorset council says the girl was moved so much because there arent enough registered placements to support children with very complex needs. She described it as a prison. One of her sad words to us was, wouldnt it be nice to wake up with the same faces, instead of getting different carers in every other day . What i witnessed that night will stay with me for some time on that. These children, many of them, will go to bed in an unsuitable place tonight. The head of ofsted says our findings are a deeply disturbing. It is a national scandal. How can we be happy with children in tents, on boats . When a child is taken into local authority care, it is precisely because their family isnt providing for them properly, precisely because they need permanence in their life. Clearly were failing the child when we do that. But, even where ofsted believes providers have broken the rules, weve learned there have not been any prosecutions. This is extremely urgent. What could be more urgent than childrens lives . And there has not been one prosecution for one of these providers. No, as far as im aware, there hasnt. Is that a deep concern . But thats why weve investigated 150 unregistered childrens homes. This september, we revealed that children as young as 11 are being placed in unregistered homes. Now, our information requests show more than 400 children were placed in such settings last year, three times the number two years ago. Ed thomas reporting there. Ten british people have been injured in a bus crash in northern france. The vehicle was travelling from paris to london when police say it toppled over taking a motorway exit. In all, 33 people were injured, four of them seriously. Millions of people in the indian capital, delhi, have been told to stay indoors due to an alarming rise in hazardous levels of air pollution. Farmers burning crops, industrial emissions and car fumes have created a toxic smog blanketing the city. Visibility has been so poor, hundreds of flights have been diverted or delayed. From delhi, Pratiksha Ghildial sent this report. Delhi is choking. People here are breathing the citys most toxic air in years, with pollution levels more than 20 times their safe limit. The problem returns here every winter, but many are saying that this is the worst they have experienced. Protesters gathered outside the prime ministers house demanding a basic right clean air. They believe there isnt the political will to find a solution. You can obviously see how terrible it is, and its actually scary. You cant see things in front of you. Patients are coming with more lung respiratory diseases, more affected by asthma. One major source of the solution is stubble burning. Farmers in delhis neighbouring states say they dont have the modern machinery they need to clear their fields without setting them alight, so the smoke from their fires drifts over the city, where it stays for days on end. But the worst sufferers are people who work on the streets, like traffic police, tuktuk drivers, and the homeless. Indias government says it is doing what it can. It has banned construction activities, is limiting the number of cars on the road, and has asked for schools to remain shut for a few days. But, despite the Public Health emergency, no long Term Solution seems to be in sight. There was virtually no sunlight in delhi today, due to the thick layer of smog hanging over the city. Here on the streets, it is particularly difficult to breathe, and i can feel an itch in my throat. It is a huge concern for residents, with studies showing that the pollution is causing high levels of lung cancer and premature deaths. Pratiksha ghildial, bbc news, delhi. A mass has been taking place in a catholic Vietnamese Church in london to remember the 39 people who were found dead in a refrigerated lorry in essex ten days ago. Police have not confirmed the individual identities of the victims, but believe they were all from vietnam. 0ur correspondent Chi Chi Izundu was at the service. They gathered to remember. This mass started with a short video of the removal of the trailer with the 39 bodies inside. A minutes silence followed. The service was led by the bishop of westminster, who offered prayers for the victims, their relatives, and the Emergency Services. I suggested that we pray as well for the traffickers themselves. They might have a change of heart. And i did say that i do think Human Trafficking is an abominable crime, which needs to be eradicated. This community is following news of this investigation closely. It is a community in mourning, as it is believed some members possibly related to those victims found in that trailer two weeks ago may have attended todays mass. The parish priest, father simon, confirmed some families in the uk and vietnam have contacted him with information to help identify their loved ones, and he has passed that on to the police. So far, ive got eight people, and i have given six of them, and two more maybe tomorrow, i will see the police and get more information about these people. There is a reluctance in this community to speak out. An escape from vietnam by boat meant witnessing the deaths of those trying to make the same journey, according to this woman. Why we have left vietnam . Because we wanted to have freedom. Essex Police Believe they may have identified families for some of the victims, and have been in contact with relatives both in the uk and vietnam. They say they are still conducting their investigation, which is spanning many jurisdictions across the world. A 36 year old man has died and three people have been hurt after a car drove into a pub in colchester. A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

One man aged 36 was killed, another left with life changing injuries, and two others were taken to hospital as well. Was at the pub after 1 00amm all we heard was a massive bang. But because of it being halloween and guy fawkes, we put it down for fireworks, went back to sleep. It was a very busy pub. Locals go to it, especially on a sunday. Its very popular on a saturday night, so whilst there were a couple of casualties, it could have been a lot worse. People were out to party, which is why it was packed out. It was closed for seven hours this morning and police are urging anyone who saw a white nissan car sky before the crash to contact them along with anyone else in the public area at the time who they have not yet spoken to. The shop next door to the pub have a number of cctv cameras and when i went inside they were replaying the footage of one of the once up here. They should the aftermath of the scene with the Emergency Services arriving on a number of people already standing around. This is a very residential area and this was a very loud noise so police are hopeful that there will be a number of witnesses who can help with the investigation.
