You're watching Newsround with me Ricky this Thursday morning.

:00:11.:00:14.

Last night the third and final debate took place between

:00:15.:00:17.

Both candidates want to be President of the United States.

:00:18.:00:23.

Mr Trump called Mrs Clinton a "nasty woman".

:00:24.:00:31.

He also refused to answer a question about whether he would accept

:00:32.:00:33.

the result of the election if he doesn't win.

:00:34.:00:36.

Clinton said that Trump was a "Puppet" for

:00:37.:00:38.

The vote takes place on the 8th of November.

:00:39.:00:44.

Next up, we're still waiting to hear what happened to a probe that

:00:45.:00:47.

The European Space Agency say the signal from the Schiaparelli

:00:48.:00:52.

lander disappeared just before it was due to touch down

:00:53.:00:55.

The BBC's David Shukman sent us this from mission control.

:00:56.:01:02.

There's been a real roller-coaster of emotions

:01:03.:01:04.

here at the European Space Agency with good news and bad.

:01:05.:01:08.

What scientists are pleased about is they now have an orbiter

:01:09.:01:11.

circling Mars, looking at its atmosphere for clues

:01:12.:01:14.

But the bad news is, a lander they sent to the surface

:01:15.:01:19.

of Mars seems to have run into trouble.

:01:20.:01:23.

They kept track of it as it descended.

:01:24.:01:25.

They know that its heat shield worked, that's very important.

:01:26.:01:28.

They also know it released a parachute to slow itself down.

:01:29.:01:32.

But in the last minute, before it was meant to reach

:01:33.:01:35.

the ground it lost contact and no one really knows what happened.

:01:36.:01:42.

Thousands of people are trying to escape from one of Iraq's biggest

:01:43.:01:44.

cities ahead of huge battle expected to take place there.

:01:45.:01:47.

The Iraqi army is trying to take back control of the city of Mosul

:01:48.:01:50.

from the group that calls itself Islamic State.

:01:51.:01:56.

Charities say families and children are likely

:01:57.:01:58.

Iraq, a country in the Middle East next to Syria.

:01:59.:02:11.

The second largest city in Iraq, Mosul, is controlled

:02:12.:02:15.

by the extremist Islamist group that calls itself Islamic State.

:02:16.:02:20.

Islamic State has killed a lot of people in Iraq and Syria.

:02:21.:02:26.

It has also been behind deadly attacks around the world, including

:02:27.:02:29.

When they first started fighting, Islamic State took over

:02:30.:02:34.

lots of land and cities in Iraq, and the Iraqi government

:02:35.:02:37.

A couple of years ago, some countries including the UK

:02:38.:02:42.

and the US began dropping bombs to help the Iraqi army

:02:43.:02:45.

The Iraqi army began to win back big cities and they had been planning

:02:46.:02:56.

Now the battle has started with 30,000 army troops

:02:57.:03:02.

and small groups of fighters from the area.

:03:03.:03:07.

Mosul is important because it is the last big city

:03:08.:03:09.

So if IS loses control of Mosul, it could mean an important step

:03:10.:03:17.

to ending their rule over large parts of Iraq and Syria.

:03:18.:03:23.

But charities are worried about how the fighting will affect

:03:24.:03:27.

more than half a million children and their families in the area.

:03:28.:03:31.

Right now there are half a million children trapped inside Mosul

:03:32.:03:35.

and parents have an impossible decision to make.

:03:36.:03:38.

Either they stay and they risk being killed by bombs and bullets,

:03:39.:03:41.

So what we need now are safe escape routes for children

:03:42.:03:46.

and their families to escape from the fighting.

:03:47.:03:49.

Right now, at reception centres in the towns near to Mosul,

:03:50.:03:52.

we are seeing children arrive exhausted after two days of walking

:03:53.:03:55.

Many of these children haven't been to school for two years

:03:56.:04:00.

Many children have been caught up in the fighting and forced to leave.

:04:01.:04:06.

No one is sure how long the fighting will last for but many people hope

:04:07.:04:10.

they can one day return to the place that they used to call home.

:04:11.:04:17.

And if you want to know more about what's happening in Iraq,

:04:18.:04:21.

And don't forget if you're upset by this story or by anything

:04:22.:04:26.

in the news, there's lots of advice at over Newsround online.

:04:27.:04:30.

Now have you ever seen a squirrel that is completely white?

:04:31.:04:33.

Grey squirrels are one of the most common woodland animals.

:04:34.:04:36.

But the rarest of the lot are these white squirrels,

:04:37.:04:40.

and a family of them has moved into a garden in Edinburgh.

:04:41.:04:43.

According to wildlife experts there could be only around 25

:04:44.:04:45.

That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.

:04:46.:04:54.

We will tell you who has made it to the Great British Bake Off final.

:04:55.:05:00.
