Tonight at Ten, a "significant error of judgment" means that

Sam Allardyce is no longer the England football manager.

He'd been in the job for just two months.

The England football manager Sam Allardyce has lost his job

after just one match in charge of the national team.

Senior figures at the Football Association spent the day

in crisis talks to discuss newspaper reports that

Mr Allardyce had used his position to negotiate a ?400,000

business deal, and that he'd also offered advice

on how to bypass the FA's rules on player transfers.

The FA said Mr Allardyce accepted he'd made a "significant

Our sports editor Dan Roan has the latest from Wembley.

Gone in the blink of an eye. Sam Allardyce, driven out of Wembley

tonight before he even had a chance to manage a here. This, the sorry

end of the shortest and most ill-fated reign of any England boss

in history. This evening the FA confirmed that Allardyce had lost

his job after an undercover newspaper sting. Why did Sam

Allardyce have to go? I think the things he said were inconsistent

with his post. He manages the national side, represents the

country. That's a higher standard of behaviour that is expected. The

things he said on television about other people and about things in

football were inappropriate things for a manager to say. He's accepted

that and admitted he was foolish. This is what got big Sam into such

big trouble. Just weeks after his appointment, this secret filming

showed the manager meeting businessmen claiming to work for a

Far East and company. In fact they were undercover reporters from the

Daily Telegraph. The newspaper claimed that Allardyce, despite an

FA salary of ?3 million, cashed in on his position to agree in

principle to a ?400,000 a year deal to represent the firm.

And then there was this, Allardyce appearing to offer advice on

avoiding rules over third-party ownership, where companies or agents

own stakes in footballers, outlawed by the governing body to improve

integrity in the transfer system. But the sting showed Allardyce

talking about more than just money. He ridiculed the man he replaced as

England manager, Roy Hodgson. Former England assistant coach Gary

Neville also comes in for criticism, as does the mentality of the England

squad, and even the Duke of Cambridge. Allardyce was summoned

here, to Wembley, to explain himself as his bosses held showdown talks.

But he offered to resign or did you have to sack him? We didn't sack

him, we agreed that his vision was untenable and he left by mutual

consent. We didn't get to the point where we had to consider sacking

him. We had a very good conversation. It wasn't one of those

difficult conversations where he denied everything. He recognised the

problems he created, took it on his own shoulders and discussed it in a

mature fashion. When we said it is probably not going to work, he

agreed we needed to move on. You've not seen this one before,

have you? Just two months ago he'd landed the job he'd covered all his

career. I think I fit the chair. I hope I do. But he didn't. And after

just one match in charge Allardyce's dream job has turned into a

nightmare. Notwithstanding the relatively swift

action today of the football Association, what are your thoughts

on the potential damage to the image of the game? Well, I think even by

England standards this truly takes some believing. Surely one of the

most remarkable and humiliating episodes in the history of the game.

Earlier this evening former England captain Alan Shearer said that it

left the FA laughing stock, and quite frankly here it is hard to

disagree. I think for many people they will look at the amount of

money and wealth in the sport and see this as a regrettable reminder

of the fact that for many ordinary fans per game feels somewhat out of

touch, where greed is right. It's awful of course for Allardyce

himself, its cost in the job he worked so hard and long for, but it

also reflects very poorly on his former employers, the FA, who just a

few weeks ago, despite reservations held by many, appointed him and

hailed him as the outstanding choice to replace Roy Hodgson as England

manager. His job was to breathe new life into the team after the

humiliating exits to Iceland earlier this summer in Europe 2016. Despite

that being rock bottom, we now know it was yet to come. And remarkably

the Allardyce era has lasted just 67 days. Dan thanks very much.

Donald Trump has criticised the way last night's televised debate

with Hillary Clinton was conducted, and suggested some

He also claimed his microphone hadn't been working properly.

The debate, the first of three before election day in November,

involved lively exchanges on the economy, national security,

But it also involved personal attacks, with each candidate

questioning the other's suitability for the presidency.

Our North America editor, Jon Sopel, reports from New York.

In diplomacy, they call this a grin and grab.

In last night's presidential debate it quickly gave way to grimaces

Donald Trump started the brighter, attacking Hillary Clinton

for initially backing the Pacific Trade Deal

that he said would cost America jobs.

You called it the gold standard of trade deals,

you said it's the finest deal you've ever seen.

And then you heard what I said about it and all of a sudden

Well, Donald, I know you live in your own reality,

But then it was Donald Trump's turn to be put under the cosh.

First over his refusal to hand over his tax returns.

Something that all candidates have done for over 40 years.

Or maybe he doesn't want the American people,

all of you watching tonight, to know that he's paid

nothing in federal taxes, because the only years anybody has

ever seen were a couple of years when he had to turn them over

to state authorities when he was trying to get a casino

licence, and they showed he didn't pay any federal income tax.

But how smart, when everyone else has to pay tax?

His business acumen is a cornerstone of his appeal.

Not releasing those returns only raises more questions.

He then came under attack over his attitude towards women,

a key demographic in this election where he is trailing badly.

But this is a man who has called women pigs, slobs and dogs.

She spoke about a beauty pageant contestant who Mr Trump had called

Miss Housekeeping because she was Latina.

And she has become a US citizen, and you can bet

she's going to vote this November.

But Donald Trump then sought to make it about character.

She doesn't have the look, she doesn't have the stamina.

And I don't believe she does have the stamina.

To be president of this country you need tremendous stamina.

Well as soon as he travels to 112 countries and negotiates a peace

deal, a ceasefire, a release of dissidents, an opening

of new opportunities in nations around the world, or even

spends 11 hours testifying in front of a congressional

committee, he can talk to me about stamina.

Hillary has experience, but it's bad experience.

We have made so many bad deals during the last...

So she's got experience, I agree, but it's bad, bad experience.

Donald Trump positioning himself as the political outsider resonates

At the end of the debate it was Donald Trump's stamina that

Here in the spin room both sides are claiming

And Donald Trump has come in to do his own spinning.

He had one question to answer in this debate, did

he have the temperament to be the next commander-in-chief,

And on that maybe the jury is still out.

Mr Trump, are you satisfied with how it went?

An estimated 80 million Americans watched last night's debate,

which provided the best opportunity so far for both candidates

to persuade voters of their case for moving into the White House.

Our North America correspondent Nick Bryant has been assessing

the reaction of viewers, from Seattle on the west coast

This was a presidential debate that doubled

And across this vast continent millions of viewers made it the most

watched political showdown in American history.

At watch parties in Seattle both sides had moments to cheer.

I will release my tax returns against my lawyer's wishes

when she releases her 33,000 e-mails that have been deleted.

Just join the debate by saying more crazy things.

But it was the Clinton supporters who emerged the more jubilant,

confident the debate had exposed Donald Trump's flaws

I thought she stuck to her policies, to the facts she needed to say.

I thought she had a good sense of humour about his overall

And I hope that the American voters will go out there and stand by her.

At Harlem's iconic Apollo Theatre last night, an auditorium packed

with African-American voters who Donald Trump is trying to woo.

But his outreach doesn't seem to be working.

I'm not convinced about anything Donald Trump says.

Hillary Clinton, yes I am convinced, because she has experience,

Donald Trump has complained about the moderator and said

he was given a bad microphone that picked up his sniffles.

Did anybody see that debate last night?

Ahead of the debate the polls were suggesting

But Hillary Clinton clearly believes this could be a decisive moment.

Nick Bryant, BBC News, New York.

Let's go live to New York, Jon Sopel is there. Plenty of lively exchanges

as you were telling us, but has this done enough to change the terms of

the debate? Well, to this extent it has. If you just look at Hillary

Clinton's face, if a picture tells a thousand words, that beaming smile

of hers at that rally shows she clearly feels something has shifted

in the race. Although Donald Trump claims he has won the debate, it's

clear that he has major problems if he's having to talk about the

microphones and the way that the moderator handles it. That said,

Donald Trump still has time. He's got to show that he isn't just

winging it, which is what it seemed in last night 's debate, whereas

Hillary Clinton was prepared to within an inch of her life, you

felt. So thereafter more debates to go, 42 days. What Donald Trump

really needs to do is to raise his game. Yes, Hillary won, but there

was no knockout blow. Thanks very much indeed, Jon Sopel the latest on

the reaction to that debate. The operator of Alton Towers,

Merlin Attractions, has been fined ?5 million

after admitting health and safety failings

which led to a crash 16 people were injured,

five of them seriously, in the accident in June last year

on the Smiler rollercoaster. Lawyers say the families

were shocked by some of the evidence they heard at the hearing,

as Sophie Long reports. Vicky Balch and Leah Washington

walked to court today Both girls had to have a leg

amputated after the crash. Today, the company responsible

was fined ?5 million for breaching It's believed to be a record

fine for the industry, but Chanda Chauhan,

who was in the second row, along with her two daughters,

and is still suffering from the psychological effects,

thinks it should have been more. That ?5 million isn't

going to change what's Myself and my two daughters

were in an accident, and that's broken our total family

structure into pieces, In court, the most seriously injured

heard for the first time the catalogue of errors that

led to months of pain They heard an empty test car had

been sent around the track, but failed to complete the loop due

to high winds and came That the computerised safety system

activated and stopped But they were told engineers thought

this was a mistake - they decided to manually override it

and restarted the roller-coaster. This is the moment that

changed their lives forever. In the middle of the picture

is the stationary carriage. Coming from the right,

the car full of people. The judge talked of

the psychological trauma suffered when they saw the carriage ahead

before plunging into it with the force of a car

travelling at 90mph. Then what he called the obvious

shambles that followed, which meant they were left,

some with life-threatening injuries, 20 feet above ground

for up to five hours. The victims' lawyer said his young

clients had been shocked A catastrophic failure

to assess risk. Inadequate training,

inadequate supervision, It may be the damage to the

reputation of Merlin Attractions which proves most costly in the long

term. The far bigger punishment

for all of us is the knowledge on this occasion we let people down

with such devastating consequences. It is something none of us will ever

forget and it is something we are utterly determined

will never be repeated. Emergency services say detailed risk

assessments are now in place for all rides at Alton Towers,

and at other theme parks A review by the Crown Prosecution

Service has upheld a decision not to press charges

against Sir Cliff Richard over Three months ago, the CPS said

there was "insufficient evidence" to prosecute Sir Cliff,

but two alleged victims had asked Sir Cliff said he was pleased

by today's outcome. The first imports of US shale gas

have arrived in British waters, as debate here continues over

the future of fracking. The gas will be brought by tanker

into the plant of Grangemouth. Its owners said today the gas

will secure jobs at the plant. Its owners said today the gas

will secure many jobs at the plant. But environmental groups and some

politicians have The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn,

says he still wants to make the case to change

the party's official The current proposal is to back

the renewal of Trident, But Mr Corbyn said there were many

in the party who had moral He went on to criticise British air

strikes against so-called Islamic State in Syria,

saying the policy wasn't working. He was speaking to our political

editor, Laura Kuenssberg. Whether it's kissing babies

or playing the bongos, if you want to be Prime Minister,

photo opportunities, well, But it can take a bit

of getting used to. Is Jeremy Corbyn our

next Prime Minister? It's up to him to show

that he's of the calibre That's what we've got

to be campaigning for. But that's also what

he has got to show. But HE wants to show he'd

like to change the party's plan. Labour backs nuclear

weapons - he does not. Well, anyone is entitled

to raise an opinion on it, and they will in

the future, I'm sure. Many people are going to become

increasingly concerned. The party's made its democratic

decision - do you accept that Of course I know what

the party policy is. And of course I understand

the decision that was taken. Does it mean there are people

in the party who have a moral You sound very determined to bring

this issue back to the party. I want to see a nuclear free world,

I want us to make our case for that Given that it is currently

the party's policy, attempts to overturn it,

do you still stand that if you were Prime Minister,

you would never use the deterrent? I never want to use

a nuclear weapon. The UK is bombing so-called

IS targets in Syria and Iraq - if you were in Number 10,

would you continue that? I would be demanding as quickly

as possible a reconvening As quickly as possible,

getting Russia, America, Syria and the other

parties around you. Diplomats around the world

are busting a gut to get But if you were Prime Minister,

Jeremy Corbyn, would of so-called Islamic State

targets in Iraq and Syria? I think there has to be a political

solution that brings together everybody with the exception

of IS to isolate them - You've said this week you think

there might be an early election, therefore hypothetically,

you might be Prime Minister. If you were Prime Minister soon,

would you stop UK bombing of those so-called IS targets

in Iraq and Syria or not? As a Labour Prime Minister,

I would bend every muscle I've got to bring about a political

settlement and peace, and that would include

the non-military options Because at the end of the day, every

war ends by a political settlement - let's start from it rather

than end with it. For millions of British voters,

their decision to leave the European Union was around

the issue of immigration. Would you, as Prime Minister,

tighten the rules so that fewer EU What matters to most Labour voters

is actually underfunding of schools, underfunding of

hospitals, insufficiency of housing, underfunding of local government

and lack of development in jobs But many people are worried,

actually, also, about the numbers, the way they've seen

their communities change. Well, communities do change,

of course. So what would you actually do

about immigration if you What I would do about immigration

is try and bring about a degree of coterminosity, a degree

of equality on working conditions Do you think that the wider voting

public now see you as We are setting out our economic

vision and an economic alternative We have to deal with the stresses

and inequalities in Britain - Jeremy Corbyn's promises have found

favour with thousands But after a year of discord

and distress in Labour, he knows the party has

to change the tune. We can go live to Liverpool tonight,

to speak to Laura Kuenssberg now. He spoke about setting out a vision -

what can we expect from the leader when he makes his speech tomorrow?

Sometimes as you know, with these big set piece political events, they

are sometimes notable for what is not is in them as well as what is.

It's clear from that interview that he think the priority in terms of

immigration is about wages and workers' rights, rather than the

overall levels. There is already some eyebrows being raised here in

Liverpool tonight, because and age to Jeremy Corbyn said, Jeremy is not

concerned about the numbers. And in his speech tomorrow, what will not

be in it is any kind of plan to reduce immigration, despite the

concerns articulated by many voters in the EU referendum. He will

instead give a broad restatement of his ambitions, and there will be a

call to end what he will describe as the trench warfare of recent months.

But before he gets to his feet on the platform tomorrow, there is a

very big moment here at the Labour conference, and that was this

afternoon when the deputy leader, Tom Watson, delivered a stern

warning to the party leadership and to his supporters, saying they had

to stop trashing the record of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, saying

Labour would not win if they somehow decried everything that they had

done in the past. That is important because there was tension in the

hall between the two wings of the party. And also because Tom Watson

has his own mandate - he was elected by party members, just like Jeremy

Corbyn. It is also important because it is a sign that even those who

have stayed inside the tent, not which all resigned or walked away

from Jeremy Corbyn, will not be silenced under Jeremy Corbyn part

two. If Jeremy Corbyn is to

succeed in his ambition to be prime minister,

then Labour must win back support in areas that were once rock

solid for the party. Oldham, in Greater Manchester,

enjoyed a reputation for industrial prosperity well into the 20th

century, but it is facing acute social and economic

challenges today. Oldham voted overwhelmingly

for Brexit, and many former Labour supporters have

switched allegiance to Ukip. Our special correspondent

Allan Little has been talking The annual end-of-summer carnival

has its roots in Oldham's days # I want to go dancing with you,

all-night dancing... More than 300 cotton mills brought

generations of immigrants from Asia. What has globalisation

done to this town? When the world bought

cotton, Oldham thrived. But then the world started making

cotton - much more cheaply. The tide of that global

market had turned. This year, Oldham was named

officially the most This has always been

a Labour fortress. But in the past decade,

the Ukip vote here has I always take all these threats

very, very seriously. I do, my colleagues do

and my party does. So you know, we will not

sleepwalk into a threat There were a one-agenda party,

and that item is now finished. So, they need to reinvent

themselves, and we'll have to see how successful

they are in reinventing themselves. In the years when much

of Britain was booming in the globalised economy,

this is what was happening This paper mill closed overnight

in 2001, its 500 workers suddenly, There are still eerie reminders,

frozen in time, of that It's as though the pro-Remain half

of Britain failed to notice that in all this dereliction,

a powerful anti-EU sentiment had been incubating for decades,

and that sentiment found its voice at last in the in-out

referendum in June. It was, in part at least,

a revolt against globalisation, But to what extent was it also

a revolt by people who have always voted Labour against the Labour

Party? How about some

strawbs? Marlene nurse is a retired

schoolteacher, and had always voted Labour,

until she went to a Ukip We haven't heard this

before, we never hear this from the Labour Party

or the Conservatives or anyone! So, if I were a Labour MP

or councillor here in Oldham, Real votes in real elections

are still falling But Ukip has emerged

from the referendum with renewed energy and momentum,

challenging Labour's claim to be the authentic voice

in its own heartlands. For the first time, a baby has

been born using a new American doctors say

the baby boy has the key DNA from his mother and father,

plus an element of genetic The process allows the baby

to be free of a condition carried by the mother,

and they say it could help other families with rare

genetic conditions, as our medical correspondent

Fergus Walsh reports. A world first in genetics and IVF,

carried out by American doctors in Mexico Turkey chosen because there

are no laws there to prevent it. The baby's face has been blurred because

its parents, from Jordan, want to remain anonymous. He is now five

months old and is said to be four. This technique is aimed at

preventing often fatal genetic diseases from being passed on. The

nucleus of the mother was removed, leaving behind the faulty DNA in

these structures, known as mitochondria. It was put into a

second woman's egg containing only healthy mitochondria. This was

fertilised. The embryo had CD key genes from the parents plus a tiny

amount of DNA from the donor ridges now in every one of the baby boy's

cells. It is quite a significant moment, it is the proof of a long

process which really was initiated in the UK in terms of public and

parliamentary debate and a lot of the science, showing that you can

apply these technologies and ultimately produce a healthy baby at

the end. 3-person IVF is legal in the UK, it's just not been done yet.

But this team in Newcastle is close to applying for a licence to use a

slightly different technique to that in Mexico. Among those hoping to

benefit our this couple, whose daughter Jessica has a serious

inherited disorder. They would like treatment to ensure a second child

would be healthy. On the 50th anniversary of his first
