Tonight at 10 - there'll be no official inquiry into the most

:00:00.:00:08.

violent episode of the miners' strike at Orgreave 32 years ago.

:00:09.:00:13.

Campaigners insist that South Yorkshire Police lied

:00:14.:00:17.

about the events at Orgreave, but the Home Secretary says

:00:18.:00:21.

there is no justification for a public inquiry.

:00:22.:00:24.

There were no miscarriages of justice, there were no deaths,

:00:25.:00:28.

There was anger at Westminster among campaigners who'd been expecting

:00:29.:00:36.

a very different outcome, and they promised to

:00:37.:00:38.

Aren't we right in concluding that the establishment stitch-up

:00:39.:00:45.

that she has just announced today, is nothing more

:00:46.:00:47.

We'll have the detail and reaction as the campaigners insist

:00:48.:00:54.

With eight days to polling day in America, signs that the race

:00:55.:01:06.

is tightening in some of those key states.

:01:07.:01:08.

A report from the outskirts of Mosul, as Iraqi special forces

:01:09.:01:12.

advance on the stronghold of the Islamic State group.

:01:13.:01:16.

Jail for 10 years for the lorry driver who killed a mother and three

:01:17.:01:20.

children when he crashed while using a mobile phone.

:01:21.:01:23.

Anyone using a mobile whilst driving is guilty of dangerous driving.

:01:24.:01:30.

It only takes a second of distraction to kill someone.

:01:31.:01:35.

Mark Carney says he'll stay as Governor

:01:36.:01:39.

of the Bank of England until 2019, and not for the full term.

:01:40.:01:43.

A glimpse at the private collection soon to be auctioned.

:01:44.:01:50.

And coming up in Sportsday on BBC News, concern for jockeys

:01:51.:01:55.

Jim Crowley and Freddy Tylicki, who suffer what are believed to be

:01:56.:01:58.

serious injuries in a fall at Kempton Park this afternoon.

:01:59.:02:20.

There will be no public inquiry into the violent clashes

:02:21.:02:26.

between police and striking miners at Orgreave in 1984.

:02:27.:02:34.

The decision, by the Home Secretary Amber Rudd, has provoked

:02:35.:02:39.

a furious response from campaigners who say it's an "establishment

:02:40.:02:41.

They have consistently accused South Yorkshire Police

:02:42.:02:47.

of using excessive force at Orgreave and of telling lies.

:02:48.:02:49.

Dozens of striking miners were put on trial but the cases collapsed.

:02:50.:02:52.

The Home Secretary said she'd made the decision because there had been

:02:53.:02:55.

no deaths or wrongful convictions - as our political editor

:02:56.:02:57.

Horses, batons, beatings. Orgreave was a battle between thousands of

:02:58.:03:19.

miers on strike and thousands of police, but there will be no

:03:20.:03:23.

inquiry, Noel Hunt for more truth, no new explanation. -- miners on

:03:24.:03:29.

strike. One of the miners there on that day just can't understand why.

:03:30.:03:36.

The things I saw that day, I wake up sweating sometimes in the night,

:03:37.:03:43.

when my mind wanders onto it... And that's why I joined this campaign,

:03:44.:03:47.

to get justice and there's been no justice today. Why would an inquiry

:03:48.:03:54.

make such a difference to you? Because we could say, we could say,

:03:55.:03:59.

we told you so. What we told you happen that day did happen. 95

:04:00.:04:06.

miners were charged before their cases collapsed, amid suspicions of

:04:07.:04:12.

brutality and cover up in the same police force at Hillsborough,

:04:13.:04:15.

campaigners believed an inquiry was coming. Amber Rudd told all of you,

:04:16.:04:21.

that there would be an inquiry, the only question was what kind. Her

:04:22.:04:25.

exact words were she had to decide what format it would take. It wasn't

:04:26.:04:29.

a question for us of whether or not it would happen, it would be in what

:04:30.:04:33.

form it would take. She said the culture had changed down the light

:04:34.:04:37.

needed to be shone. The Home Secretary denies any promise but her

:04:38.:04:42.

decision met here. I have concluded that there is no case for either a

:04:43.:04:47.

statutory inquiry or an independent review. In this situation, in

:04:48.:04:54.

Orgreave, there were no miscarriages of justice, there were no deaths,

:04:55.:04:59.

there were no convictions. The Right Honourable lady should be aware,

:05:00.:05:04.

therefore it doesn't merit the same level of status as a public inquiry

:05:05.:05:10.

as was required for Hillsborough. Aren't we right in concluding the

:05:11.:05:14.

establishment stitch up that she has just announced today is nothing more

:05:15.:05:20.

than a nakedly political act? This is an astonishing and frankly

:05:21.:05:24.

shameful decision by the government. The government have read those

:05:25.:05:27.

families up the garden path for the last two years. Whilst public

:05:28.:05:32.

enquiries can be successful, too often they cost huge amounts of

:05:33.:05:35.

money, take many years and don't even answer the questions

:05:36.:05:40.

thereafter. But Labour has vowed to keep pushing and keep promising an

:05:41.:05:45.

inquiry one day. I'm astonished, absolutely astonished. When Theresa

:05:46.:05:48.

May with Home Secretary she encouraged the families to write for

:05:49.:05:54.

an inquiry. They may have taken a view if they refuse to have it will

:05:55.:05:57.

go away, but sadly for them it won't. Look at the Hillsborough

:05:58.:06:02.

campaign, look at earlier campaigns in Birmingham and Guilford, the

:06:03.:06:05.

determination of people to get justice never goes away. Yet it is a

:06:06.:06:09.

straightforward game in politics to call for an inquiry. One minister

:06:10.:06:13.

said the hard thing is saying no, but in this case the Home Office

:06:14.:06:18.

concluded an inquiry with its possible costs and complications

:06:19.:06:24.

just wasn't worthwhile. Enquiries don't erase memories. Those that

:06:25.:06:30.

could hardly believe their eyes then and had to believe them now.

:06:31.:06:33.

Our correspondent Dan Johnson is in Orgreave tonight.

:06:34.:06:38.

We have heard already from some of the campaign at Westminster today.

:06:39.:06:45.

What have the local community been saying to you there?

:06:46.:06:48.

I have heard tonight from one of the campaigners here who said this is

:06:49.:06:52.

not over. The campaigners will have a meeting tomorrow to decide what

:06:53.:06:56.

their next move is. When the miners were chased up this field 32 years

:06:57.:07:02.

ago by police on horseback with functions and dogs they felt they

:07:03.:07:05.

were the victims of an abuse of state power. They claimed there was

:07:06.:07:09.

brutality, wrongful arrests and an attempt to frame them for serious

:07:10.:07:12.

offences. We've heard stories of retired police officers, all of them

:07:13.:07:45.

retired of course, will be pleased with this decision today. But for

:07:46.:07:47.

the miners, Orgreave and what happened here, this campaign became

:07:48.:07:50.

symbolic of everything they lost. It was a turning point in their strike.

:07:51.:07:52.

They lost it and thousands of jobs with it. Many would say trade union

:07:53.:07:55.

power has never same the mining communities have been abandoned and

:07:56.:07:57.

left behind. But one thing is for sure, the communities around here,

:07:58.:08:00.

the many feel the mining communities have been abandoned and left behind.

:08:01.:08:02.

But one thing is for sure, the communities former mining villages

:08:03.:08:07.

will not forget the Battle of Orgreave. Thank you.

:08:08.:08:13.

President Obama has let it be known that he does not

:08:14.:08:16.

believe the FBI director, James Comey,

:08:17.:08:17.

is trying to influence the outcome of the presidential election.

:08:18.:08:20.

Democrats have strongly criticised Mr Comey,

:08:21.:08:21.

after he announced the FBI was investigating more material

:08:22.:08:23.

that might relate to Hillary Clinton's use of unofficial e-mails

:08:24.:08:26.

But as our North America editor Jon Sopel reports,

:08:27.:08:29.

the latest allegations seem to have given Donald Trump's campaign

:08:30.:08:32.

a new energy, with just eight days to go.

:08:33.:08:35.

Hillary Clinton was in Cleveland today trying to look relaxed in a

:08:36.:08:41.

soul food cafe, but has is a troubled soul after the intervention

:08:42.:08:46.

of the FBI last Friday, when the director announced his new

:08:47.:08:49.

investigation. At a rally she gave vent to her frustration. Why in the

:08:50.:08:54.

world the FBI would decide to jump into an Hillary Clinton was in

when change the mind of her staunch supporters lining up to see her but

:09:21.:09:25.

it might affect independents. The White House wouldn't condemn what

:09:26.:09:29.

the FBI did but isn't this very nuanced comment from the President's

:09:30.:09:33.

spokesperson about how the Department of Justice should behave

:09:34.:09:36.

this close to an election. It's important in the mind of the

:09:37.:09:40.

president that those authorities are tempered by at my e-mails for the

:09:41.:09:43.

last year, there is no case here. It won't change the mind of her staunch

:09:44.:09:46.

supporters lining up to see her but it might affect independents. The

:09:47.:09:48.

White House wouldn't condemn what the FBI did but isn't this very

:09:49.:09:50.

nuanced comment from the President's spokesperson about how the

:09:51.:09:52.

Department of Justice should behave this close to an election. It's

:09:53.:09:55.

important in the mind of the President that those authorities are

:09:56.:09:57.

tempered by an adherence to long-standing and the president and

:09:58.:09:59.

the President believes it is guidelines to be followed. And why

:10:00.:10:01.

would you stress that unless you think they might have breached

:10:02.:10:03.

conventional norms? While in office Hillary Clinton relied on a private

:10:04.:10:05.

e-mail account on her own server, sending thousands of messages both

:10:06.:10:07.

personal and government related. The FBI said that was negligent but

:10:08.:10:10.

didn't press charges. Now, in a separate case involving one of the

:10:11.:10:14.

estranged husband of her close aide, more e-mails have come to light and

:10:15.:10:18.

the FBI has reopened its investigation. But that in itself is

:10:19.:10:22.

proving controversial. It's not normal for the FBI to comment on an

:10:23.:10:26.

ongoing investigation and some Democrats now say the director James

:10:27.:10:32.

Cornick dill me might have broken the law which prevents federal

:10:33.:10:36.

enforcement officers seeking to influence the outcome of an

:10:37.:10:40.

election. Tonight is the night of carved pumpkins as Americans are a

:10:41.:10:45.

great Halloween but tonight Hillary Clinton feels she's been tricked,

:10:46.:10:51.

while the FBI has given Donald Trump his biggest treat. The Trump

:10:52.:10:56.

campaign has never been known for its calm or Serenity Douglas to the

:10:57.:10:59.

raw nurse a sense of euphoria at the moment, because these people here

:11:00.:11:04.

and the Trump campaign believes that the FBI's intervention could be a

:11:05.:11:09.

game changer. I think more people will come on the Trump train. The

:11:10.:11:16.

impact should be the independents. I think they go back and forth

:11:17.:11:20.

depending on the scandal of the moment. Have to give the FBI credit,

:11:21.:11:24.

that was so bad what happened originally, and it took guts for the

:11:25.:11:31.

director to make the movie made in light of the opposition he had,

:11:32.:11:35.

where they are trying to protect her from criminal prosecution. It's too

:11:36.:11:41.

soon to say what the impact of the FBI intervention will be, but listen

:11:42.:11:46.

to Donald Trump, all the talk last week of this being rigged election

:11:47.:11:49.

has gone. He has fresh believe he can will win. It is a very noisy

:11:50.:11:57.

hall here in Detroit where Donald Trump has just finished speaking.

:11:58.:12:00.

The Department of Justice in the past few moments have issued a

:12:01.:12:03.

statement to Congress saying they will work with the FBI as closely as

:12:04.:12:11.

possible, that they will give all resources on workers judiciously as

:12:12.:12:14.

possible. What we don't know is whether we will get any kind of

:12:15.:12:19.

verdict before or after the election, but one very important

:12:20.:12:23.

footnote to add is the Democrats are awaiting the next set of polls with

:12:24.:12:29.

extreme anxiety, and just as the Trump camp are looking forward to

:12:30.:12:30.

them. Back to you. Thank you very much.

:12:31.:12:38.

Jon Sopel in Detroit with the latest on the campaign.

:12:39.:12:40.

You can find out the latest in the race to the White House

:12:41.:12:43.

There you will see Jon Sopel's material and the backgrounds to lots

:12:44.:12:54.

of the key states and the state of the campaign.

:12:55.:12:55.

Mark Carney has announced he will stay in post as governor

:12:56.:13:00.

of the Bank of England until the end of June 2019.

:13:01.:13:03.

Mr Carney - who met Theresa May today at Number Ten -

:13:04.:13:07.

had been facing calls from prominent Conservatives for him to stand down,

:13:08.:13:09.

following his warnings about the potential impact of Brexit.

:13:10.:13:14.

Mr Carney's departure in 2019 is one year beyond his current term,

:13:15.:13:19.

but means he will not stay on for a full eight-year term.

:13:20.:13:24.

We can discuss this with Simon Jack. A word first of all about the

:13:25.:13:30.

decision on the way it was made. The first important thing to say what it

:13:31.:13:36.

was his decision. He arrived as a surprise superstar for signing in

:13:37.:13:40.

football terms, that George Osborne appointed. At first everyone thought

:13:41.:13:43.

he was great, he seemed to charm just about everyone to stop as the

:13:44.:13:47.

referendum approached, which had been called when he was first tired,

:13:48.:13:52.

he angered some. Some thought he was getting too political by half by

:13:53.:13:58.

warnings of an economic shock that might happen. They thought he was

:13:59.:14:00.

overstepping his brief. At that point people thought, he said the

:14:01.:14:06.

pound would fall and he was right about that, he warned of an economic

:14:07.:14:10.

shock that hasn't materialised yet, then he cut interest rates just

:14:11.:14:15.

after the which Theresa May criticised in a conference speech,

:14:16.:14:21.

saying that hurt savers. A lot of people thinking some testy exchanges

:14:22.:14:24.

between some of the Brexiteers and him. He said he will see out his

:14:25.:14:30.

term until 2019 and that's enough for him. The end of June 20 19. What

:14:31.:14:36.

does that mean, in terms of that Brexit timetable? Crucially if we

:14:37.:14:41.

trigger Article 50 by the end of March 2017, that takes us to march

:14:42.:14:47.

2019, so it sees us through group. He will see it through to the end of

:14:48.:14:51.

that particular process. If you like him or loathe him, most people think

:14:52.:14:56.

losing your central bank chief in a process as immense as that is not

:14:57.:15:00.

ideal. He's clearly decided that the UK need him for one more year. After

:15:01.:15:04.

Theresa May backed him saying he was the right man for the job, he says

:15:05.:15:08.

he will stay on. His family are still going back to Canada in 2018.

:15:09.:15:12.

He says he has unfinished business here and will stick around until

:15:13.:15:16.

2019. Thank you. Simon Jack, our business editor.

:15:17.:15:20.

Iraqi Special Forces trying to drive so-called Islamic State

:15:21.:15:22.

from its stronghold in the city of Mosul, have advanced

:15:23.:15:25.

to the eastern outskirts of the city.

:15:26.:15:26.

The campaign - now in its third week - involves hundreds of troops

:15:27.:15:29.

in heavily-armoured vehicles all supported

:15:30.:15:32.

Our international correspondent Ian Pannell and cameraman

:15:33.:15:37.

Darren Conway are travelling with the Iraqi Special Forces

:15:38.:15:40.

This battle isn't just for one city, but an entire nation.

:15:41.:15:51.

Iraq is a country shattered and shocked by years of civil war.

:15:52.:15:58.

Many expect of these troops to pause, to wait for other

:15:59.:16:00.

fighters on other fronts, but that's not what happened today.

:16:01.:16:06.

As we joined Iraqi counterterrorism forces, moving to the last town

:16:07.:16:09.

between them and so-called Islamic State.

:16:10.:16:14.

Well, the armoured column, as you can see, has now

:16:15.:16:17.

moved out into desert, in what they call a flanking

:16:18.:16:19.

manoeuvre, in other words just going round the town of Bazwaya,

:16:20.:16:22.

We are in the lead vehicles here with

:16:23.:16:26.

the commander of counterterrorism forces.

:16:27.:16:31.

Over there is the town of Bazwaya where

:16:32.:16:36.

they are going to try to get to, and if they manage to get

:16:37.:16:40.

through that then they will manage to move on

:16:41.:16:42.

even further towards their main target.

:16:43.:16:43.

Over the weekend these men were attacked by the militants.

:16:44.:16:46.

In the confusion of battle they lost more than a dozen of their comrades.

:16:47.:16:50.

Taking the fight back to Isis, and the closer they get,

:16:51.:17:01.

After more than two years it feels this conflict is moving

:17:02.:17:16.

The counterterrorism unit have just advanced

:17:17.:17:44.

They just opened attack on what they think are IS positions,

:17:45.:17:47.

we've just been told to get back into the vehicles.

:17:48.:17:50.

They have another unit coming from the other side of the town.

:17:51.:17:53.

There is also a fighter jet overhead trying to give some cover,

:17:54.:17:55.

as you would expect, it's a very confused

:17:56.:17:57.

Many thought the town was abandoned to the fighters,

:17:58.:18:05.

but from behind closed doors, on walls and along alleyways, dozens

:18:06.:18:07.

They've been trapped between warring parties here for years,

:18:08.:18:14.

We liberated the land and the people.

:18:15.:18:28.

And finally, there on the horizon, less than a mile away, is

:18:29.:18:31.

the heart of the self-declared caliphate of Islamic State.

:18:32.:18:38.

TRANSLATION: We are very, very close to Mosul.

:18:39.:18:40.

We have run out of time today but tomorrow

:18:41.:18:42.

the Iraqi people and the world will celebrate its liberation.

:18:43.:18:49.

The people who live here are Shebak, an ethnic group who have suffered

:18:50.:18:52.

TRANSLATION: Thank God we survived Daesh.

:18:53.:19:03.

Don't go out, or we will behead you."

:19:04.:19:17.

They are also a reminder of the sectarian problems here.

:19:18.:19:20.

If they are ever to live in peace, this campaign also needs a plan

:19:21.:19:23.

As more families are made homeless, more lives lost, and still the real

:19:24.:19:31.

Ian Pannell, BBC News, just outside Mosul.

:19:32.:19:45.

A lorry driver has been jailed for 10 years for killing

:19:46.:19:47.

a mother and three children, because he was looking

:19:48.:19:49.

at his mobile phone while travelling at 50 miles an hour.

:19:50.:19:53.

The judge said that Tomasz Kroker might as well have had

:19:54.:19:55.

his eyes closed when he crashed into stationary traffic

:19:56.:19:58.

The family said the 10-year sentence was insufficient for a crime

:19:59.:20:03.

which - they said - had caused so much suffering and destruction,

:20:04.:20:06.

as our correspondent Duncan Kennedy reports.

:20:07.:20:20.

The precious moments of a family life which no longer exists. Here,

:20:21.:20:28.

Ethan, Josh and their sister Aimee, the three children who died in the

:20:29.:20:31.

crash. They died with their mother Tracey, at the end of what had been

:20:32.:20:37.

a family holiday. They were killed by this man, Tomasz Kroker, seen

:20:38.:20:42.

here on his mobile phone moments before the crash. Cameras in his

:20:43.:20:46.

lorry show him scroll through his music for up to 45 seconds, before

:20:47.:20:52.

he hit a queue of stationary traffic. Tomasz Kroker can be seen

:20:53.:21:01.

in the hooded top moments after the crash. Tracy's Mark was in the Silva

:21:02.:21:09.

estate which shunted the vehicle under the lorry. We pulled up behind

:21:10.:21:15.

some lorries just crawling along. And then that was it. Bank.

:21:16.:21:23.
