change, but the hope has almost been kicked out. they need to be convinced that change is possible. most of all, they need to be convinced to vote for it because change doesn't happen unless you vote for it. applause that was so keir starmer he just finished speaking a few moments ago. my finished speaking a few moments ago. my colleague was watching this, that while there has been throughout this election campaign for the labour party, change, they mention that numeracy. party, change, they mention that numera . y party, change, they mention that numeracy-— party, change, they mention that numera , , numeracy. absolutely. it popped up multile numeracy. absolutely. it popped up multiple times, _ numeracy. absolutely. it popped up multiple times, is _ numeracy. absolutely. it popped up multiple times, is there _ numeracy. absolutely. it popped up multiple times, is there he - numeracy. absolutely. it popped up multiple times, is there he was, - multiple times, is there he was, sleeves up, speaking seemingly without notes. the message we have been hearing throughout all of this campaign from labour is about change. he said," if you want to turn the page and rebuild our country then you have to vote for labour. " but what i thought was interesting was the warning, don't be complacent, he warned, if we take a feet off the gas then you might still wake up and have a conservative government. so trying to push that message of you have to vote for change if that is what you want, but don't assume it is going to happen. 50 want, but don't assume it is going to ha en. ., �*, want, but don't assume it is going to happen-— to happen. so that's the labour leader, to happen. so that's the labour leader. the _ to happen. so that's the labour leader, the labour _ to happen. so that's the labour leader, the labour party - to happen. so that's the labour leader, the labour party there, | to happen. so that's the labour i leader, the labour party there, we still watching live images, the entertainment after that conversation after that appeal for change, but again not to be complacent. so the labour party there. we are going to have a look at what the other parties have been discussing as well as we move away from that live event in central london work is so keir starmer was just speaking. hejust london work is so keir starmer was just speaking. he just literally stop speaking as we were coming on air. let's turn to reform uk because the party has dropped three of its candidates following reports that they have made offensive comments. it comes after the party leader nigel farage disowned them on question time on friday night. labour and the conservatives have criticised mr faraj for failing to show leadership and his response to allegations of racism within the reform uk. mr farage claimed that an undercover video of an activist using a racist slur against the premise there was a total setup designed to smear his party. our correspondent reports. caught on tape, a canvas of a reform uk racially abuses rishi sunak. nigel farage now says this was a set up. channel 4 says that it was rigorous, impartialjournalism. the individual, andrew parker is also heard saying people crossing the channel in small boats should be shot at. the leader of reform uk. nigel farage. mr farage now wants electoral and broadcasting regulators to investigate his claim. he said it amounts to scandalous election interference. this was a comedy act, but it was designed - to hurt us and sadly, sadly, some people believe it. - let me promise you... so who do you think... would have nothing to do with people like him. - and he has nothing to do with us. but he was also questioned about three of his candidates. the party now says they've been dropped, though it's too late to take their names off ballot papers. rishi sunak out today. he's already said the comments about him were shocking and ministers in his government are now speaking up to. there is a real pattern of racist and misogynistic views in the party, and i think it's absolutely right to call it out. he's notjust the prime minister, he is the father of two young girls who should not have to put up with this kind of racial abuse. nice to see you. the labour leader was out meeting veterans this morning for armed forces day. he has said he shares rishi sunak�*s disgust at the racism. of mr farage, saying leadership was about setting the culture and standards for your party. if anyone here, whether they are a candidate or an activist or a volunteer or a party member, used that sort of language, they would be flung out of the party because we have the highest standards of our candidates and of our party members as well. and scottish national party support... - and this was the snp leader on the campaign trail in scotland today. i deplore this language. i think it's illustrative of— what reform represents, and that's why i'm so concerned about the rise of reform in our society. _ so nigel farage disputes some of the claims, but he's had to distance himself from some individuals too, facing increasing scrutiny of his party, his canvassers, his candidates and his leadership. damian grammaticas, bbc news. bring us up today when it comes to these three candidates. higei bring us up today when it comes to these three candidates. nigel farage was asked about _ these three candidates. nigel farage was asked about comments - these three candidates. nigel farage was asked about comments from - these three candidates. nigel farage l was asked about comments from three different candidates standing in different candidates standing in different parts of the uk and what was told to him was offensive remarks that these candidates are reported to have made, nigel farage said he wanted nothing to do with them. so that is wrong reform act seemingly standing back from these three candidates. however, for the party has also said is that in its seat is thus to want people to vote for reform uk because what it is interested in is its share of the vote. and if you want reform to have its share of the vote to express your opinion, the way to do that is to vote for these candidates because it cannot take them off the ballot so technically you can vote for them. so it is a slightly unusual position but that is where we are with those. 50 position but that is where we are with those-— position but that is where we are with those. ., , with those. so that is those three candidates- _ with those. so that is those three candidates. now _ with those. so that is those three candidates. now let's _ with those. so that is those three candidates. now let's focus - with those. so that is those three candidates. now let's focus in - with those. so that is those three candidates. now let's focus in on| candidates. now let's focus in on the campaign is used that racist language that we heard rishi sunak come back about a very strong. absolutely. this was someone who was filmed secretly by channel 4 and they were out and about campaigning and this man use this racist about the premise. as you rightly say, the prime minister came back very strongly against that. now, the twists and turns in this are interesting also because nigel farage came up quite quickly and said this man is an actor, i think this is a setup. now, channel 4 have absolutely refuted that. they are the people who are responsible for this undercover filming and they say no, we stand by ourjournalism, we will rigorously defend it. but reform uk has now written to ofcom and said that it wants channel 4 news... it is written to the electoral and said that it wants channel 4 and is to be looked into. thank you for explain those two issues with reform uk. if you're watching in the uk, the final sunday with laura kuenssberg with the election campaign is coming up on sunday. laura will be interviewing the premise rishi sunak as well as miss adam, stephen flynn in westminster and daisy cooper, lib dems deputy leader. that is in a special extended programme starting at nine o'clock in the morning tomorrow on bbc one and bbc iplayer. much more also on our website as well. from the uk election let's turn to the us election. president biden has come under more pressure to stand down from the race for the white house with an editorial in the influential new york times newspaper, calling on him to drop out, saying it's in the best interests of america. it followed his widely criticised performance in thursday's tv debate with donald trump — when he stumbled over words, and at times seemed to lose track of what he was saying. mr biden remains defiant — at his first campaign rally since the debate, he told supporters in north carolina that the us itself was at stake in november's election — calling his opponent, "a genuine threat to democracy". directly addressing concerns about his age, mr biden told the rally, "he'd been knocked down but would get back up". frank sesno is a former white house correspondent and cnn washington bureau chief. as the fallout of mr biden's performance continues, he shared what's happening within the democratic party. a lot of hand—wringing, a lot of talking, and a lot of whispering. no one of any stature in the democratic party has spoken publicly yet calling on biden to get out. that's so far come from his friends, columnists, newspaper editorials, that kind of thing, and a lot of talking. there's concern and it's very, very deep. but the first defender in biden—land right now isjill biden, the president's wife, who said publicly, you know, bad nights happen and on we go. so this is going to be a very anxiety provoking several days, i think, as the reality of this sinks in and the options are weighed, no matter what people are saying publicly, i don't think they're going to break from the president until he comes to these conclusions and makes a public statement himself. and so i think that what's happening, in fact, what i know is happening is that there are conversations. people are taking their concerns to the inner circle, to the bidens themselves. the decision ultimately is going to rest with the bidens themselves. and so, if they dig in their heels, they paint the party into a corner because then it becomes even more dangerous, even more fractious if the party breaks with the president, if he refuses to step down, then you just have sniping internally. so as i say, it puts the party in a very difficult position and a very difficult place. but now is the time for these conversations, and they're taking place as we speak. what you are watching is images of the aircraft must abide is expected to be on. apologies, he is in marine force one, he is in the helicopter just they're just about to leave new york to travel around new york state to continue with his message that he is continuing to fight, that when you fall, you get back up again as we heard him speak a little bit earlier at a rally in north carolina. that was after the trump — biden debate. we can cross over to speak to our north american correspondence who is also watching these images with us. just to fill you in, we are watching president bidenjust about to you in, we are watching president biden just about to leave, he is going to be travelling around new york very much continuing to repeat that message that he will, despite these concerns, continue to be the democratic candidate.— these concerns, continue to be the democratic candidate. that's right. he has a series _ democratic candidate. that's right. he has a series of _ democratic candidate. that's right. he has a series of fundraising - he has a series of fundraising events that are scheduled today in new york and the hamptons. we are not expecting to hear from him new york and the hamptons. we are not expecting to hearfrom him in public today but this is all a part of the campaign seeking to project the image that it is business as usual despite that dismal display during the televised debate on thursday night in atalanta. of course, it is significant that as he arrives in new york, the most influential newspaper in that city, dean is york times, has posted this a damning editorial basically calling forjoe biden to pull out of the race for president. —— the new york times newspaper. they have said that he is not the man he was four years ago and that attempting to continue with his candidacy would be, as the editorial put it, reckless. it goes on to conclude that the democrats need a strong opponent to take on donald trump. that would, of course, be quite a process, finding an alternative candidate to joe process, finding an alternative candidate tojoe biden. gavin use is one, kamala harris is another one but it would be a really torturous process that the party would have to go through just four months to go before the election. the crucial fact is that pulling before thursday night's debate showed that neither those two candidates had the support from voters that would be needed to beat donald trump. we heard from joe biden yesterday, he was in north carolina, he seemed completely different to the lacklustre, fumbling man that we saw on stage on thursday night. he was energised, he said i'm not as young as i used to be, iam not said i'm not as young as i used to be, i am not as great a debate as i used to be, but i tell the truth and i know right from wrong. i think the big question is, will that be enough to dispel what has been called the brush d a bushfire amongst democrats? they are scrambling now to try to sort out what they do from here on in. —— of the bushfire of democrats. by the time that voters go to the polls in november, they will have forgotten about that shambolic display that we saw from joe biden on thursday night. just a brief if ou joe biden on thursday night. just a brief if you are, _ joe biden on thursday night. just a brief if you are, we _ joe biden on thursday night. just a brief if you are, we watched - joe biden on thursday night. just a brief if you are, we watched that marine one thatjust carried president biden away as he continues with that message that you described. within the democratic party, has anyone actually come forward and said that potentially joe biden should stand down? hat joe biden should stand down? not ublicl at joe biden should stand down? iirrt publicly at least, but there is disquiet, considerable disquiet in private. there is nobody really in the party who believes that this was a good performance. people like nancy pelosi have said, well, it could have been a whole lot better but we just have to try and put it behind us. there is concern. i think what the party chooses to do about it will really depend on the opinion poll's verdict on friday night. thank you for bringing us up to date. iran is to hold a run—off vote this coming friday, after the hardline candidate saeed jalili and his rival massoud pezeshkian — who's seen as reformist — both failed to secure a majority in the country's presidential election. the vote is to replace president ebrahim raisi, who was killed in a helicopter crash last month. let's speak to dr shahram kholdi — history and politics of waterloo in ontario. when it comes to elections, they are calling this a circus. is this low turnout a lack of belief in what the selection stands for?— selection stands for? yes, absolutely _ selection stands for? yes, absolutely right. - selection stands for? yes, absolutely right. as - selection stands for? yes, i absolutely right. as opposed selection stands for? yes, - absolutely right. as opposed to selection stands for? lei: absolutely right. as opposed to what some of the ecologists of some of the regime, especially experts that are based in iran would have tried to depict this from a"circus" as it has been in a social media as some sort of fatigue of the people that if there is of the government. i would say that government and widespread corruption has been really affecting the likelihood of millions of iranians people pushing the majority of them to the poverty line below that, i would say that at this point, what we see is not the kind of democratic fatigue that you see in european democratic countries. we see this affection of the majority of the people who have, especially in the aftermath of the 2022 women life freedom rising, have completely become frustrated with this regime and the manner by which it is handling their lives. 50 this regime and the manner by which it is handling their lives.— it is handling their lives. so this is an active _ it is handling their lives. so this is an active boycott _ it is handling their lives. so this is an active boycott then? - it is handling their lives. so this is an active boycott then? its i it is handling their lives. so thisl is an active boycott then? its not so much apathy as they were saying like in some western countries. this is a boycott. will it be effective do you think? because ultimately, we saw such a huge protest following the death and ultimately didn't make too much difference. will iranian authorities this is?— authorities this is? absolutely. i doubt that _ authorities this is? absolutely. i doubt that the _ authorities this is? absolutely. i doubt that the iranian _ authorities this is? absolutely. i i doubt that the iranian authorities, especially the supreme leader who cools the shots, would really care about the turnout. he said, of course, that the turnout is a matter of legitimacy of the regime, but i think the regime and the supreme leader and the authors have very much brought down the bar and that is why they are literally celebrating the fact that they have been such a low turnout because i believed that they had braced themselves for even a lower turnout than what we saw. what would perhaps create a more bombastic situation against this regime is that the new president, whether it is pleasure scheme orjoe jalili, is that it could renew their maximum pressure campaign of sanctions, then i would believe that we would have to use the... it is inevitable that we would see its sporadic risings and rebellions and behaviour by the people. and this president is a really out for a very rough ride whoever it is going to be. it’s really out for a very rough ride whoever it is going to be. it's a note on which _ whoever it is going to be. it's a note on which we _ whoever it is going to be. it's a note on which we have -
