The Republican Presidential nominee, Donald Trump, has apologised

for lewd comments he made about women in a video

Mr Trump talked about using his celebrity status to grope women

Those comments have been strongly condemned by senior

Donald Trump called it "locker room banter".

Two men are on a bus, their microphones are switched

on but they don't know they are being recorded.

They are about to meet the female star of a Hollywood soap opera.

In her campaign ads, Hillary Clinton has often attacked

A person who is flat chested is very hard to be a ten.

In response to this latest video she tweeted, "This is horrific,

we cannot allow this man to become president."

A few hours later Donald Trump issued this apology.

I have never said I am a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone

I have said and done things I regret and the words released today on this

more than a decade old video are one of them.

Anyone who knows me knows that these words do not reflect who I am.

I said it, I was wrong and I apologise.

Let's be honest, we are living in the real world, this is nothing

more than a distraction from the important issues

The backlash against Trump from his own party is growing.

It is sad, really, but I can't endorse Donald Trump for President

after those comments and the way he said them.

There is no way I'm voting for Hillary Clinton,

but I can no longer endorse Donald Trump for president,

The most senior elected Republican official, Paul Ryan,

said he was sickened by what he had heard.

Trump has cancelled his engagements for today, saying he is preparing

for tomorrow's second televised debate with Hillary Clinton.

He says he wants to discuss her husband's abuse of women and how

he claims she attacked and shamed his victims.

Hurricane Matthew, which struck Haiti killing nearly 900 people,

is now weakening as it moves along the eastern edge

of the United States. The storm triggered mass evacuations

on the Atlantic coast but the damage is nowhere near as bad as that

which hit Haiti on Tuesday, leaving more than 60,000

For almost a week now, Matthew has been an unwanted guest,

Now it's heading towards Georgia, skirting along the eastern seaboard.

In Savannah, the oldest city in the state, the streets

In South Carolina, people have battened down the hatches,

bracing themselves for what Matthew will bring.

We understand the situation that is before us,

This is the last time you will see me before

we are actually in storm mode, so please evacuate,

State officials are going door-to-door, advising

I can rebuild the motel, I have insurance, but I can't

I'm going 70 miles inland - better be safe than sorry.

A choice to leave that so many in Haiti didn't have.

Matthew hit the island on Tuesday, but the United Nations has warned,

it could take several days for the full extent

Many hundreds have lost their lives and those who are left have been

left with nothing. TRANSLATION: The wind took the roof and it was

completely gone. This town, home to 30,000, has been cut off for days.

Much-needed aid has started to arrive. The closer we got to Port O

Prince it was complete devastation, it was flattened. Haiti was already

one of the world's poorest countries, hit hard by the

earthquake in 2010 and in the grip of a cholera epidemic. But the

damage hurricane Matthew has brought means it will take the country years

to recover from this latest disaster.

Supporters of the Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn today

have been defending him over his cabinet reshuffle.

Mr Corbyn's been criticised for failing to act constructively

in talks about giving MPs a greater say on who sits on the front bench.

Straight now to Westminster and our Correspondent

Another day, another Labour row? On the face of it this is about who is

in the shadow cabinet because the chair of the Parliamentary Labour

Party says he was having conversations with Jeremy Corbyn

about having these elections and he was not informed at the time that

Jeremy Corbyn was planning to select people himself. But the reality is

it is a row about who leads the Labour Party and the direction it is

going in. There are those who think this reshuffle titles dashed Titans

Jeremy Corbyn's grip on the Labour Party. The shadow Foreign Secretary

has said Labour MPs cannot have it both ways. They cannot complain of

him not to link people and being seen as too weak. Leaders have to

lead. Whenever there is a reshuffle, there will be disappointment.

In the end, Jeremy has decided that he needs to make sure he has

a full team ready to take on the government

The negotiations in relation to how we make the party more democratic

is something which is ongoing and the National Executive Committee

is meeting in a few weeks in order to be able to discuss that.

The division does not stop there because Alan Johnson, the former

Home Secretary, has said today that he thinks that Jeremy Corbyn is not

fit to be the Leader of the Opposition. He said somebody who was

supposed to unify the Labour Party is dividing it.

With all the sport here's Mike Bushell at the BBC Sport Centre.

It's not been the best week for Lewis Hamilton.

He's 23 points behind team-mate Nico Rosberg in the world

championship standings, so he was desperate to get pole

position for tomorrow's Japanese Grand Prix, but

in qualifying he was pipped by, you know who,

Nico Rosberg is in the group off, and more importantly, on the track.

As F1 heads towards the defining point of the season,

Lewis Hamilton has been left trailing in the German's wake.

Rosberg dominated practice, but missed out in qualifying.

Mistakes are challenging at the Suzuki circuit,

but despite this one, he was still quicker than Hamilton.

The world champion slipped up on a track

Hamilton eventually found his rhythm in the final session,

sneaking ahead by almost two tenths of a second.

But that could not disrupt the championship

All that separated them was a tenth of a second,

That is not beyond Hamilton, as he has won the last two

Japanese Grand Prix from second on the grid.

Johanna Konta is the first British woman to break into the world's top

ten in tennis for over 30 years, after she reached the final

It took more than two-and-a-half hours for her to beat

the American Madison Keys in three sets.

The last British woman to reach the top ten was Jo Durie in 1984.

Andy Murray sailed through to the men's final

with a straight sets victory over Spain's David Ferrer, dropping only

Murray will face either Milos Raonic or Grigor Dimitrov for the title.

The Olympics and Paralympics may have come and gone,

but the next target for British athletes is the Winter Games

While Great Britain have made big strides in winter sports,

the key to future success could lie with a new,

slightly surprising piece of equipment.

In a warehouse 15 miles from Glasgow, this oversized trampoline

may not look like anything special, but this is a super Tramp, imported

from America and costing ?25,000. It is the first of its kind in Europe

and could be the new power tool for British ski and snowboarding. It is

invaluable. Normal Olympic trampoline are seven by 15 and these

are 15 by 15 and the recall is a lot slower so we can go higher and

reduce the risk environment before we think about taking them onto the

snow. In a few weeks and another snow sports season begins and jobs,

twists and turns the bigger the better can bring medals. On this

occasion they visited the summer Olympics to share acrobatic ideas.

The new kit gets the thumbs up from him. It is so much fun being on a

super tram. It is so different to what I am used to and it is great to

enjoy it and have some fun really instead of a strict regimented,

daily schedule. In 2014 Jenny Jones won Britain's first ever Winter gold

medal on snow and with the next game is less than 500 days away, could

this training aid help translate to more sports success then? We have

athletes who are capable of being on the podium. It will not detract from

our likelihood and it will support the athletes to learn the tricks

they need to put them in the medal contention group. Although not

high-tech, the super Tramp is certainly giving high hopes. A big

Good afternoon. This gives a sense of the mishmash of whether on offer

across the British Isles and the weather watchers have captured that.

If this gets thicker and lower, that is what you get on your window

panes. It is not all doom and gloom. This is what it looks like from top

down. There is some sunshine in the mix. But there is no getting away

from the fact that as you drift, as a general rule, down towards East

Anglia and the fact is, you increase your chances of seeing some showers.

We have had one in central London. In the West as a rule of thumb, the

drier your prospects are. The north-western parts of England and

Wales as well. In Northern Ireland a bit of brightness will come through.

The greatest part of Scotland is dry. The weather should not

interrupted Warrington versus Wigan in the grand final at Trafford.

There are also a number of international is going on as well

and I do not think that weather will get under way and affect them. When

a fall at Hamdan as the evening goes on. In the evening there may be some

showers in the eastern areas. Even in towns and cities we go down to

single figures and quite widely across the British Isles under those

clear skies. Come Dawn it converts into a bright start. Still some

showers in eastern parts. They will have a tendency, some of them, to

drift further towards the West. There will be dry
