Tonight at Ten, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton prepare to go

:00:07.:00:11.

head to head, as acrimony intensifies, in the race

:00:12.:00:13.

They'll be debating in a few hours time, with Mr Trump suggesting

:00:14.:00:22.

he may raise sex abuse allegations, against Bill Clinton.

:00:23.:00:29.

Mrs Clinton's campaign says Mr Trump is spiralling out of control.

:00:30.:00:32.

So how could tonight's debate influence the final vote?

:00:38.:00:44.

to reveal how many foreign workers they employ.

In America the Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump

:01:27.:01:34.

and his Democratic Party rival Hillary Clinton

:01:35.:01:37.

are preparing to go head to head in a televised debate,

:01:38.:01:39.

that's shaping up to be one of the most acrimonious

:01:40.:01:42.

Mr Trump is under intense pressure, over past lewd comments about women,

:01:43.:01:46.

His team says he may raise sexual abuse allegations

:01:47.:01:50.

against Mrs Clinton's husband Bill, when the debate gets

:01:51.:01:55.

It's taking place in St Louis in Missouri and our North America

:01:56.:01:59.

There is always a sense of anticipation and expectation ahead

:02:00.:02:12.

of any presidential debate, but this is on an altogether different scale.

:02:13.:02:17.

Such is the acrimony, such is the speculation surrounding how Donald

:02:18.:02:20.

Trump is going to behave when he takes to the debate stage. He and

:02:21.:02:24.

Hillary Clinton are here in centuries, they've looked around the

:02:25.:02:26.

arena where this is going to take place. What we have no idea of his

:02:27.:02:30.

what each of their tactics will be. That seemed to be Donald

Trump's approach as he came down from his eerie at Trump

their candidate for president. There is a bit of an

:03:07.:03:08.

elephant in the room. Donald Trump is still reeling

in 2005, 11 years ago, when I was a young,

children in the room. It tells you that he is insecure

:04:50.:04:58.

enough that he pumps himself up

:04:59.:05:05.

by putting other people down. But although the condemnation

:05:06.:05:07.

for Donald Trump may be loud, a lot of supporters

are asking, what's all the fuss Everyone has flaws, things they do

acrimony flying around in this campaign so far, it hard to believe

:05:42.:05:45.

things could sink any lower tonight. And I think they might possibly be

:05:46.:05:49.

able to. Clive, I think this will be the first presidential debate that

:05:50.:05:53.

should come with a parental advisory before people start watching.

:05:54.:05:56.

Because the first 15-20 minutes could be really rough indeed. Donald

:05:57.:06:00.

Trump seems to be taking the strategy that, I may be bad, but

:06:01.:06:04.

that Bill Clinton is even worse. It's a high-risk strategy, how

:06:05.:06:08.

interested are people in what Bill Clinton did 38 years ago? According

option at the Republican leadership have warned Donald Trump against.

:06:22.:06:27.

There is a yawning chasm between the leadership and the grassroots and

:06:28.:06:31.

Donald Trump himself. It is witnessed by all the grandees of the

:06:32.:06:34.

party, who is a Donald Trump should stand aside, let someone else run

:06:35.:06:39.

for president. And the grassroots activists who say, no, Donald Trump

:06:40.:06:42.

is the right person to make America great again, to use the trump

:06:43.:06:46.

slogan. They are determined he should stay in the race. For Donald

:06:47.:06:51.

Trump himself, he's made clear whatever the Republican leadership

might want he's going nowhere. John Sobel in St Louis Missouri.

And you can watch the debate, between Donald Trump

:07:01.:07:02.

and Hillary Clinton, live overnight here on BBC One,

:07:03.:07:04.

The Government has ruled out forcing British companies

:07:05.:07:10.

to reveal how many foreign workers they employ.

:07:11.:07:12.

Ministers say the data will still be collected,

:07:13.:07:14.

The proposals, unveiled at the Conservative Party Conference,

:07:15.:07:20.

Our Political Correspondent Carole Walker has more details.

:07:21.:07:27.

Tackling immigration was a key theme at the Home Secretary's speech

:07:28.:07:30.

She seized the headlines with new measures, including

:07:31.:07:34.

a consultation on tighter rules for companies who

:07:35.:07:36.

I want us to look again at whether our immigration system

:07:37.:07:44.

provides the right incentives for businesses to invest

:07:45.:07:46.

The government announced a consultation to consider

:07:47.:07:52.

the impact on the local labour force of foreign recruitment.

:07:53.:07:55.

It suggested that employers should be clear about the proportion

:07:56.:07:57.

of their workforce which is international.

:07:58.:08:00.

It was widely reported that companies would be forced to publish

:08:01.:08:04.

the percentage of overseas workers on their books, but today,

:08:05.:08:07.

ministers denied the information would be made public.

:08:08.:08:16.

We're not going to ask companies to list, or name or publish

:08:17.:08:19.

or identify the number of foreign workers they have.

:08:20.:08:21.

Government sources say there has been a misunderstanding

:08:22.:08:23.

The Home Office say there was never any question of identifying

:08:24.:08:30.

or publishing lists of foreign workers, though they may still ask

:08:31.:08:36.

for the information so they can assess whether there

:08:37.:08:38.

A brewing boss was one of those who had lined up to criticise

:08:39.:08:44.

the Government and questioned why it had not explained its plans

:08:45.:08:47.

sooner, given the outcry at the original announcement.

:08:48.:08:49.

Saying we will have to name or list foreign workers is sending out

:08:50.:08:53.

the wrong signals to a country that has been built on being

:08:54.:08:55.

So I'm so glad that it appears the government has listened.

:08:56.:09:02.

The Government is still committed to getting net immigration down

:09:03.:09:06.

to the tens of thousands but their hasty rethink on foreign

:09:07.:09:10.

workers underlines how difficult it is to get the policy right.

:09:11.:09:12.

Jeremy Corbyn has announced another wave of appointments

:09:13.:09:18.

to his front bench - with ten MPs who previously resigned

:09:19.:09:22.

from their shadow positions among the returnees.

:09:23.:09:25.

Earlier, two whips stood down in protest at the Labour leader

:09:26.:09:28.

sacking the chief whip, Rosie Winterton, as part

:09:29.:09:30.

Our Political Correspondent Glenn Campbell is at

:09:31.:09:34.

Lots of changes to the Shadow Cabinet, what is your reading of the

:09:35.:09:43.

appointments? It's three days since Jeremy Corbyn began his reshuffle

:09:44.:09:47.

and while he has put a Shadow Cabinet in place, he still has lots

:09:48.:09:53.

of vacancies to fill to complete his wider front bench team. It got a

:09:54.:09:58.

little harder today when two MPs, Khan again and Holly Lynch, quit as

:09:59.:10:03.

whips. They are responsible for party discipline in the House of

:10:04.:10:09.

Commons. Both said they wanted to concentrate more on constituency

:10:10.:10:12.

work and heap praise on their former boss, Dame Rosie Winterton, who was

:10:13.:10:17.

replaced as Chief Whip in this reshuffle, much to the angle and

:10:18.:10:21.

irritation of some Labour MPs. Dame Rosie had been discussing with MPs

:10:22.:10:25.

the possible return of Shadow Cabinet elections, which is a

:10:26.:10:35.

precondition to some Labour MPs for serving under Mr Corbyn's

:10:36.:10:38.

leadership. Discussions that have been put aside until November, he is

:10:39.:10:42.

pressing ahead by appointing those who are willing to take jobs.

:10:43.:10:47.

Tonight he announced ten MPs who quit in the summer were returning to

:10:48.:10:51.

the front bench, they include the MP Pat Glass, who you may remember, was

:10:52.:10:55.

briefly made Shadow Education Secretary in June, only to resign

:10:56.:10:59.

two days later as part of the wider walk-out. All of this means Mr

:11:00.:11:03.

Corbyn has now brought back less than a quarter of those who quit, I

:11:04.:11:09.

think unity and common purpose in Labour's ranks is some way off.

We came here after the first hit happened. While we are trying to

help the survivors and get the people out, the second hit happened.

:12:33.:12:37.

It created a massacre. Rescuers at the scene say the air strikes left a

:12:38.:12:43.

lake of blood. Among aid workers in Yemen, there is revulsion and shock.

:12:44.:12:53.

At the scale of the loss of life. These are huge and alarming figures.

:12:54.:12:58.

When the conflict started we had an average of 20-30 people killed

:12:59.:13:01.

but this is something really exceptional and something

:13:02.:13:03.

out of the norm, even for what you normally see

:13:04.:13:05.

The conflict in Yemen escalated in September 2014

:13:06.:13:09.

when the Houthi rebels, who are allied with Iran,

:13:10.:13:12.

In March last year, the Saudis and their allies began

:13:13.:13:20.

a controversial campaign of air strikes against the Houthis.

The UN says more than 4,000 civilians have

:13:27.:13:28.

Most in air strikes by the Saudi-led coalition.

:13:29.:13:36.

Saudi Arabia has promised to investigate the latest strike,

:13:37.:13:42.

But it has acquitted itself in previous investigations. The White

:13:43.:13:49.

House has begun an immediate review of its support for the Saudi

:13:50.:13:54.

coalition, and in London the Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said, if

:13:55.:13:58.

civilians were deliberately targeted, British arms sales to

:13:59.:13:59.

Saudi Arabia would be reviewed. The Ukip MEP Stephen Woolfe,

Zimbabweans are fleeing to neighbouring South Africa from where

It is estimated 85% of the population

These Harare vendors sleep on the streets, desperate

to keep their positions, and too poor to make

For millions, life in Zimbabwe is too hard to endure.

In full view of the border, these young men

illegally crossed the Limpopo River into South Africa in search of jobs.

It is estimated that between three and 6 million Zimbabweans now live

To be OK, then I'm going to look for a

Desperation has forced millions of Zimbabweans to cross the

For the first time in more than a decade, Zimbabweans

have taken to the streets to voice their discontent.

Wales have dropped from first to third in their World Cup

:17:45.:17:46.

qualifying group after being held to a 1-1 draw by

:17:47.:17:49.

Manager Chris Coleman said his Euro 2016 semi-finallists looked

:17:50.:17:56.

fatigued and disjointed against a team ranked over 100

:17:57.:17:58.

Leaping into action against a team Wales have never beaten.

:17:59.:18:07.

Gareth Bale meant to put that right from the beginning.

:18:08.:18:11.

Inches away in the sixth minute, he knew his chance would come.

:18:12.:18:14.

And this was it, head and shoulders above the rest,

:18:15.:18:17.

Composure and man bun in place, focus restored.

:18:18.:18:26.

But Georgia were improving from minute to minute.

:18:27.:18:32.

Much for Chris Coleman to chew over at half-time.

:18:33.:18:37.

Chris Coleman's instructions were largely ignored.

:18:38.:18:38.

Gareth Bale standing over a ball, a reassuring sight to Welsh fans,

:18:39.:18:48.

Instead, Georgian shots peppered the Welsh goal.

:18:49.:18:54.

Wales and the woodwork managed to keep them out.

:18:55.:19:00.

It's disappointing, we wanted to win the game, but certainly not the end

:19:01.:19:05.

of the world, plenty of points to play for in this group. Regardless

:19:06.:19:08.

of tonight, there are big games ahead.

:19:09.:19:11.

After the high of the summer, Wales know that they could

There was no British double in Beijing, Johanna Konta

:19:16.:19:21.

lost her final but Andy Murray is the new China Open Champion.

:19:22.:19:25.

He beat Grigor Dimitrov in straight sets for his fifth singles title

:19:26.:19:28.

of the year and the 40th of his career.

:19:29.:19:30.

He can still knock Novak Djokovic off the top of the world rankings

:19:31.:19:33.

Konta's run to the final in Beijing has seen her reach the world top 10.

:19:34.:19:39.

But she was out-classed by the third seed Agneska Radwanska and lost

Lewis Hamilton sasy he will "give it everything" to try and keep hold

:19:43.:19:51.

at the Japanese Grand Prix as his team-mate Nico Rosberg won

:19:52.:19:56.

to stretch his lead in the drivers' championship to 33 points.

:19:57.:19:58.

Even if Hamilton wins the remaining races this season,

:19:59.:20:01.

It was Hamilton could barely hide his disappointment that his title

:20:02.:20:13.

appears to have slipped out of his hands.

:20:14.:20:15.

After victory in Japan, Nico Rosberg only needs to finish

:20:16.:20:17.

second at the four remaining races to take the Briton's crown.

:20:18.:20:20.

Hamilton's hopes slipped away at the start.

:20:21.:20:22.

He's struggled to make good getaways all season, but would never have

:20:23.:20:25.

imagined he would have one as bad as this, as he dropped

:20:26.:20:28.

He jumped two places during the opening round of pit

:20:29.:20:38.

stops and then in one breathtaking lap passed another three cars.

:20:39.:20:42.

He got the better of Sebastian Vettel after his final pit

:20:43.:20:44.

stop and pushed to the limit to catch Max Verstappen.

:20:45.:20:49.

But second place was beyond him and by the look of

:20:50.:20:52.

Rosberg's ninth win of the season secured Mercedes the Constructors'

:20:53.:20:57.

Championship and a 33-point lead over Hamilton is surely

:20:58.:20:59.

Bangladesh have levelled the one-day series against England

:21:00.:21:11.

There was a flashpoint as England chased 239 for victory.

:21:12.:21:14.

Captain Jos Buttler had to be restrained by the umpire

:21:15.:21:16.

and Jake Ball late on, they lost by 34 runs.

The deciding match is in Chittagong on Wednesday.

Saracens have knocked Wasps off the top of

:21:32.:21:33.

the Rugby Union Premiership after beating them at Allianz Park.

:21:34.:21:35.

Wasps had won five out of five but the reigning champions scored

:21:36.:21:38.
