Youre questions answered. Thats with plaid cymrus liz Saville Roberts. Taking you straight to Ironbridge Gorge in shropshire for the pictures of the demolition of four cooling towers the. We just got to that a couple of moments later after the charges were set. 120 metres high and they cost of £10 million. Crowds gathered to see that historic moment as the towers at the coal fired power station in Ironbridge Gorge in shropshire came down. The work of so long comes down in a matter of seconds and as you can see, a cloud of dust is all that is left. 0ur correspondent phil mackie is watching the demolition. That was quite an amazing sight. It has gone completely to plan. There was concern that some would fall into the river severn. Essentially where that dust cloud is at the moment, but everything seemed to happen quite perfectly on time. You really have to be 60 years old or older than that to remember what it was like before that. 55, 60 years ago when they started building these power stations, people regarded them asa power stations, people regarded them as a complete eyesore because this isa as a complete eyesore because this is a beautiful part of the country. It isa is a beautiful part of the country. It is a World Heritage site. But over the years it has become part of peoples lives and people are fond of them. They are much loved by many, loathed by others. A lot of that rubble and brick will be recycled. That is going to be rebuilt as part of a new village. That shows you exactly what happened. There they go. There they go. Destroyed into rubble. Four part of the landscape that have been here for as long as most people can remember. There you go. Lots of people here. It is in a gorge, as you can see, so people here. It is in a gorge, as you can see, so there are hills surrounding it and there have been people gathered on every hilltop that could possibly get a view. Thousands of people have made their way here today to say goodbye to these cooling towers and the next problem is that the dust. You can see it blowing towards the town of ironbridge but i think everyone will be quite happy with the way things have gone today. Phil, thank you very much for that from ironbridge. Phil, thank you very much for that from ironbridge. The london fire commissioner dany cotton has announced she will be stepping down from her position at the end of the year. She had planned to retire in april but the date was brought forward. She has faced criticism of her work at the Grenfell Tower fire which killed 72 people injune 2017. Lets get more on this from our reporter tolu adeoye. Tell us more about dany cottons decisions. She was in charge of the time. We found out earlier this year that she was planning to retire, but not until the spring and today at news that she has brought this forward. She has come in for a lot of criticism over the response to the Grenfell Tower fire. Some commented that she was insensitive, she made comments about how she wouldnt change how the fire brigade responded to the fire. 0ne wouldnt change how the fire brigade responded to the fire. One of those who support survivors in the bereaved, she said dany cotton stood up bereaved, she said dany cotton stood up in bereaved, she said dany cotton stood upina bereaved, she said dany cotton stood up in a room of bereaved and survivors and said there was nothing she would do to change that night. Many thought that was completely unacceptable. Do we know what her reason for resigning early actually is . The statement from the london fire brigade says that they want to get another commissioner in so they can get another commissioner in so they ca n start get another commissioner in so they can start working quickly to put forward some of the recommendations in the Grenfell Tower enquiry. The mayor of london has praised dany cotton and says he believes it is right that she goes now and it is important that a new commission is brought in as soon as possible. We have a statement from dany cotton. She was the first commissioner in position for more than 30 years. You mentioned the enquiry, that fear that preparations by the fire brigade were gravely inadequate, what the language used. Does this provide a new start for the fire service and if so what would they do differently . You mentioned how she said she wouldnt have done anything different. What would the fire service do differently in another g re nfell tower, service do differently in another Grenfell Tower, god forbid that should happen.

Some of the criticism was about the statement policy that was about the statement policy that was on that night. The mayor of london said he wants the next commissioner to start soon. G re nfell tower was without doubt the worst fire we had ever experienced. That is what dany cotton said in response. We will go back to the dany response.

Sirjohn major has given his support to rebel candidates running against borisjohnsons conservatives in next weeks general election. The former conservative Prime Minister has described brexit as the worst Foreign Policy decision in his lifetime. Lets get more on that now from our Political Correspondent ben wright. What else did the former Prime Minister have to say . An extraordinary intervention this. Im just watching Boris Johnson extraordinary intervention this. Im just watching borisjohnson get off this bus. John major who won the 92 general election against many peoples expectations, a very large share of the boat, will tonight be on stage with tony blair. The two men have been for some time very strongly opposed to brexit and now john major is saying on the eve of this election, he is telling voters in three constituencies not to back the official tory candidate and instead back the three x tory ministers who are running as independents. David gauke, Dominic Grieve and anne milton. In words that have just been released byjohn major, he describes brexit as a worst Foreign Policy decision of his lifetime. I think he is in despair about this government and a prospect ofa about this government and a prospect of a majority tory government. It is a pretty remarkable intervention by a pretty remarkable intervention by a former tory Prime Minister. It follows a n a former tory Prime Minister. It follows an intervention from the former deputy tory leader Michael Heseltine. How many of these do we expect to come out. It may happen. John major and Michael Heseltine are the two most pro eu tory grandees making clear their anger about what is happening. And proving how brexit really has shattered the old parties and is stretching alliances to breaking point. It is quite extraordinary that those two tories, battle scarred from years of dealing with europe themselves, are still at this stage of a campaign with that is perhaps on the cusp of another majority, if the polls are to be believed, are urging voters to think very ha rd before believed, are urging voters to think very hard before voting conservative at all. It is further proof of how brexit has ruptured the old alliances. Boris Johnson Brexit has ruptured the old alliances. Borisjohnson will try and shrug it off. He is not deviating at all from his core message. To get brexit done. I think you will see him repeat that message again and again tonight he will be ina again and again tonight he will be in a head to head debate withJeremy Corbyn on the bbc. The last time the two are going to be before the country goes to the polls. Thank you very much, ben. As ben wasjust telling us, we had that debate tonight. We have that debate tonight. We have that debate tonight. We still dont know whether the Prime Minister will do an interview with the bbcs andrew neil. 0n interview with the bbcs andrew neil. On our agenda next week have susan hume to answer some of these questions. Susan. Hello. The fact is that it is barely a week until the election and we will no doubt what the result. So this could be a really big moment this evening when the two go head to head. We have all been banging on about the election for weeks and weeks but people with busy lives are onlyjust to pay attention. This could be the moment wherejeremy attention. This could be the moment where Jeremy Corbyn attention. This could be the moment whereJeremy Corbyn could make a breakthrough, according to the polls, if you can believe them, borisjohnson the conservatives are ahead. They will be very careful not to do anything that could jeopardise that. So he will be walking on egg shells. Jeremy corbyn will be trying to make that kind of breakthrough. As you were saying, one thing Boris Johnson wont be doing, or has so far not said that, is an interview with andrew neil, his ex boss at the spectator. We are still to hear whether he will want to do that. Nothing so far but andrew neil has thrown down the challenge to him. No broadcaster can compel a politician to be interviewed. But leaders interviews have been a key part of the bbcs prime time election coverage for decades. We do them, on your behalf, to scrutinise and hold to account those who govern us. That is democracy. We have always proceeded in good faith that the leaders would participate and in every election they have. All of them. Until this one. It is not too late. We have an interview prepared. 0ven ready, as mr johnson likes to say. Well, there you are. Quite an unusual appeal to Boris Johnson from andrew neil. The conservatives, as you might imagine, have pushed back saying, these interviews is a tired old format, the viewers arent interested. It is all about the presenter anyway and not what people wa nt to presenter anyway and not what people want to watch. Susan, thank you very much. Susan, thank you very much. The labour leaderJeremy Corbyn has revealed a document which he claims is an official government analysis of borisjohnsons brexit deal, with a particular focus on Northern Ireland. 0ur correspondent leila nathoo was at the press conference. Lets speak to our Political Correspondent leila nathoo. Here is the document thatJeremy Corbyn was brandishing on stage at the press conference a little earlier. It is about Northern Irelands trading relationship with the rest of the uk. After brexit. Under the terms of borisjohnsons Withdrawal Agreement. Remember that borisjohnson be Theresa Mays Brexit deal, the one of the main thing is that he renegotiated was this, the Northern Ireland protocol. This is his big change to their brexit deal that has gone before him. He has repeatedly said there would be no checks or tariffs imposed between Northern Ireland and the rest of the uk. This idea of a border down the irish sea. He has been repeatedly challenged on this point during the Election Campaign and he has said time and again that there will be no checks. This document, it seems it contradict that. It is an official treasury document. It looks like a presentation. And it does seem to say there will be declarations required when goods are exported from Northern Ireland to Great Britain in order to meet the eu obligation under the safe framework. Here isJeremy Corbyn introducing what he said was a damaging document. In private to the government Say Something very, very different. It says that there will be Customs Declarations and security checks between Northern Ireland and Great Britain. It is there in black and white. It says there will be Customs Declarations. Absolutely clearly. For trade going from Northern Ireland to Great Britain. The government cannot rule out regulatory checks, rules of origin checks and animal and Public Health checks also. And for trade going the other way, from Great Britain to Northern Ireland, there will be all of the above, plus potentially damaging tariffs. This drives a coach and horses through the Prime Ministers claim that there will be, in his words, no border in the irish sea. It is simply not true. Johnsons deal will be disastrous for businesses and jobs all across the uk and the governments confidential report confirms this. There is another strong statement in this document, saying that Customs Declarations and physical checks on the east west and west east trade will be highly disruptive to the Northern Ireland economy, pointing out that 90 of Northern Ireland exporters to Great Britain are small and medium sized businesses who are likely to struggle to bear this cost. This is the evidence that Jeremy Corbyn is pointing to saying that official government analysis has shown that borisjohnsons brexit deal is going to be damaging to the Northern Ireland economy. He says it has repercussions for other parts of the uk as well. He is talking about this being a lie by borisjohnson. Boris talking about this being a lie by Boris Johnson. Boris johnson has misled the public on the details of this deal. We didnt know what this big reveal was going to be this morning. Jeremy corbyn thinks this is more ammunition for him on the brexit front. Brexit has been an that issue labour has been keen to get away from in this Election Campaign. Something that the tories have wa nted campaign. Something that the tories have wanted to focus on entirely. But similar to the documents that Jeremy Corbyn produced earlier in a campaign about the nhs and a trade deal between the uk and the us, this was more documentary evidence according toJeremy Corbyn that showed that borisjohnsons brexit deal was not all it seemed. Then putting that to a referendum with remain on ballot paper two. Labour will be hoping that in these final days of the campaign there brexit message will cut through and that this document will be enough to push people towards position. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. As we get ready for the last Leadership Debate tonight, lets look at their personal ratings. One of the features of labours surge in the 2017 campaign was the corbyn factor a sharp rise in his personal Approval Ratings mirrored by a fall in theresa mays. All this fed into to a sharp narrowing in the gap between labour and the conservatives in the weeks running up to polling day. Here with the data is the bbcs head of statistics, robert cuffe. So how popular are mr Corbyn Johnson . They are both pretty divisive. Lets ta ke they are both pretty divisive. Lets take a look at the data. We are going to show you net approval rating. So you want more people to approve of how you are doing your job and disapprove, but for Boris Johnson it is about the same each way. Jeremy corbyn, it is a good deal worse. Like with any polling, you dont want to get too obsessive about the exact numbers. It is more important to look at the changes. This time around i think the changes tell you more because the Approval Ratings, at this stage in the campaign they are exactly the same as they were at the start, pretty much. They havent shifted much. That tells you about the differences between this campaign and 2017. Are there any similarities . There absolutely are but if we bring in. We can see that the conservatives and labour have been improving, both coming up since november in parallel. There is no big narrowing between the two parties. That feeds into a closing of the gap. That is not really happening here. They have been pulling boats from the liberal democrats and the brexit party. A mirror image. What is similar is that labour are narrowing the gap, if we compared those numbers to 2017 we see that labour are in their mid 30s, kind of where they were last time around, moving up, the conservatives, they havent moved up. There are echoes of the past even though it is for different reasons. It is worth reminding ourselves that pollsters didnt really get it quite right in 2017. They got the tory share writer, the lib dems and they underestimated the labour vote. If you use polling to try and predict a number of seats correct to three decimal places you will come a cropper. It is useful for the big trends and why people are making decisions. This one se
