Hillary Clinton criticises the FBI's decision to release details

:00:00.:00:08.

about newly discovered emails thought to relate

:00:09.:00:10.

The FBI defends its decision to go public so close to polling day,

:00:11.:00:17.

but the Democratic presidential nominee calls it unprecedented.

:00:18.:00:22.

It's unprecedented and it is deeply troubling.

:00:23.:00:30.

Edging closer to Mosul, pro-government forces determine

:00:31.:00:36.

to oust so-called islamic state from its last main

:00:37.:00:38.

1,500 child migrants still in Calais.

:00:39.:00:43.

The French president calls on Britain to accept our fair share.

:00:44.:00:49.

And England's cricketers face an uphill battle to avoid

:00:50.:00:51.

defeat in the second Test against Bangladesh.

:00:52.:01:15.

With ten days to go until the American election,

:01:16.:01:19.

Hillary Clinton has criticised the FBI's decision to release

:01:20.:01:22.

details about newly discovered emails thought to relate

:01:23.:01:24.

She described the move - coming so close to polling day -

:01:25.:01:29.

as unprecedented and deeply troubling.

:01:30.:01:32.

She's challenged the head of the FBI to put out the "full and complete

:01:33.:01:36.

In July, the former Secretary of State was criticised

:01:37.:01:42.

for using a private server to send emails -

:01:43.:01:44.

A new statement by the FBI yesterday has been slammed by her supporters

:01:45.:01:49.

who say there's no evidence of wrongdoing, but the head

:01:50.:01:52.

of the Bureau said it had an obligation to go public.

:01:53.:01:54.

Hillary Clinton has arrived in the battle ground state of Florida,

:01:55.:02:07.

trying to change the conversation. Once again America is talking about

:02:08.:02:12.

her e-mails, and once again she is trying to reassure voters she's done

:02:13.:02:13.

nothing wrong. to put something like that out

:02:14.:02:15.

with such little information, It's unprecedented and it

:02:16.:02:19.

is deeply troubling. Hillary Clinton has been dogged

:02:20.:02:32.

by one question in her bid to become president -

:02:33.:02:35.

did she mishandle classified information while she was Secretary

:02:36.:02:40.

of State, because she used a private rather than a government

:02:41.:02:43.

protected e-mail server? The FBI cleared her in July but said

:02:44.:02:46.

she'd been careless. The new enquiry is thought

:02:47.:02:50.

to be linked to this man, the disgraced former

:02:51.:02:53.

congressman Anthony Wiener. The FBI is looking into his e-mails

:02:54.:02:57.

to see whether or not he sent sexually explicit content

:02:58.:03:00.

to a 15-year-old. He used to be married

:03:01.:03:02.

to Hillary Clinton's top Investigators seized

:03:03.:03:04.

the couple's devices. It's thought the new e-mails may

:03:05.:03:13.

have come from there. In an internal memo to staff,

:03:14.:03:15.

the FBI director, James Comey, said he felt an obligation

:03:16.:03:18.

to investigate these e-mails. He said he was unsure

:03:19.:03:21.

of the significance of this new discovery but he says

:03:22.:03:25.

he is aware that the announcement there is a significant risk

:03:26.:03:28.

of being misunderstood, he wrote. He spent 20 minutes at a rally in

:03:29.:03:35.

Colorado talking about his rival. He has nicknamed his

:03:36.:03:46.

rival Crooked Hillary. Her criminal action was deliberate,

:03:47.:03:56.

wilful, intentional and purposeful. Hillary set up an illegal server for

:03:57.:04:02.

the obvious purpose of shielding her criminal conduct from public

:04:03.:04:09.

disclosure and exposure. Hillary Clinton will Hope America has heard

:04:10.:04:12.

enough about her e-mails, that they have already made up their minds, or

:04:13.:04:19.

will they have second thoughts about casting a ballot for a candidate

:04:20.:04:20.

still under suspicion by the FBI. Within the last hour, Hillary

:04:21.:04:28.

Clinton has come out fighting. She's dealing with this head on, trying to

:04:29.:04:33.

turn the focus around from her e-mails to the FBI. All day her

:04:34.:04:39.

campaign team has been asking her questions saying America deserves

:04:40.:04:42.

more information than what they have been given so far. They know this

:04:43.:04:46.

plays into Donald Trump's message that Hillary Clinton should not be

:04:47.:04:52.

trusted with the nation's secrets, and with the polls now rowing and

:04:53.:04:57.

the clock ticking, they know that either voter turnout or voter apathy

:04:58.:05:00.

is something that Hillary Clinton can ill afford.

:05:01.:05:05.

Pro-government forces in Iraq are continuing to edge closer

:05:06.:05:08.

to the city of Mosul - the last major stronghold

:05:09.:05:10.

of so-called Islamic State in the country.

:05:11.:05:12.

Shia militia fighters have opened up a new front to the west,

:05:13.:05:16.

as they make their first significant move in the operation.

:05:17.:05:19.

To the south, the Iraqi army has taken the town of al-Shura.

:05:20.:05:22.

Our correspondent Shaimaa Khalil reports.

:05:23.:05:25.

A new front in the offensive towards Mosul.

:05:26.:05:33.

For the first time, forces are advancing from the west.

:05:34.:05:36.

And for the first time, it's Shia fighters at the forefront.

:05:37.:05:40.

Members of the pro-Iraqi government faction known

:05:41.:05:44.

as the Popular Mobilisation or the Al-Hashd Al-Sha'abi,

:05:45.:05:47.

have launched an offensive towards the town

:05:48.:05:49.

of Tal Afar, nearly 40 miles away from Mosul.

:05:50.:05:54.

The group also says they'll aim to secure the Iraqi-Syrian border.

:05:55.:05:59.

TRANSLATION: The main target of the offensive launched

:06:00.:06:02.

is to cut the supply routes from the Syrian border to Tal Afar

:06:03.:06:09.

This offensive is meant to cut Islamic State routes.

:06:10.:06:13.

The ultimate aim is to reach the city of Mosul from every

:06:14.:06:16.

But a leading role for a mainly Shia militia will bring fears

:06:17.:06:23.

of sectarian tension if they eventually

:06:24.:06:25.

In the south of Mosul, Iraqi forces managed to clear

:06:26.:06:32.

IS extremists were reported to have withdrawn earlier this week, forcing

:06:33.:06:38.

US air strikes allowed Iraqi forces to enter the town, and some

:06:39.:06:45.

"Come out, come out", this policeman says.

:06:46.:06:53.

These residents describe how they were trapped,

:06:54.:07:02.

They said if the forces hadn't come, they would have died.

:07:03.:07:11.

As more families managed to flee areas around Mosul,

:07:12.:07:16.

a picture of the horror people have lived through is becoming clear.

:07:17.:07:20.

The French President, Francois Hollande, says Britain

:07:21.:07:26.

should accept its share of more than 1,500 child migrants

:07:27.:07:30.

who remain in Calais, after the camp named the Jungle

:07:31.:07:33.

Around 250 unaccompanied minors have arrived in the UK

:07:34.:07:38.

Our correspondent Andrew Plant is in Calais.

:07:39.:07:43.

Andrew, what is going to happen to these child migrants?

:07:44.:07:51.

The headlines we have been hearing in the last few days say the Calais

:07:52.:07:57.

camps have been cleared but that isn't the full story because there

:07:58.:08:02.

are around 1500 young people stuck in a secure compound in the very

:08:03.:08:05.

centre of the Jungle and we have heard about them from French

:08:06.:08:09.

President Francois Hollande today. He has urged the British government

:08:10.:08:13.

to do its bit, as he called it, and give them a home. We have heard from

:08:14.:08:17.

number ten this evening and they say they will do all they can for

:08:18.:08:23.

eligible children and they expect to relocate hundreds of young people

:08:24.:08:26.

over the coming days and weeks. Meanwhile, in Calais, the

:08:27.:08:29.

destruction of the camp continues all around the secure compound.

:08:30.:08:34.

Mechanical diggers moving across the sand dunes all day, taking down

:08:35.:08:38.

temporary houses, the shanty town and tents that have appeared over

:08:39.:08:42.

the last 18 months. There is a lot to do and it will take some time.

:08:43.:08:47.

But housing those 1500 young people could take far longer.

:08:48.:08:49.

One of England's oldest hotels has been destroyed by a massive fire,

:08:50.:08:55.

The Royal Clarence hotel in Exeter - which dates to 1769 -

:08:56.:08:59.

has partially collapsed after the blaze spread

:09:00.:09:01.

All yesterday, it burned, and all last night.

:09:02.:09:08.

At first light, fierce flames were still visible

:09:09.:09:14.

on the ground floor, fuelled by a burst gas main.

:09:15.:09:17.

Obviously building construction regulations weren't about hundreds

:09:18.:09:21.

You've got a lot of seasoned hundred-year-old timber.

:09:22.:09:24.

A lot of undetected voids, obviously areas able to support

:09:25.:09:30.

a fire in there and, just in that respect,

:09:31.:09:32.

Pictures from a police drone show how little is now left

:09:33.:09:37.

of the 18th-century building and its immediate neighbours.

:09:38.:09:39.

The Royal Clarence was said to be the first place in Britain to call

:09:40.:09:42.

It's in the city's historic centre, hard by the cathedral.

:09:43.:09:48.

Earlier, there was a real anxiety that, just like with the Great Fire

:09:49.:09:53.

of London in 1666, this fire, which was an inferno here,

:09:54.:09:56.

All the buildings behind me here are medieval.

:09:57.:10:01.

We're only 100 yards from the cathedral.

:10:02.:10:05.

But the shops immediately behind the hotel survived thanks

:10:06.:10:10.

to firefighters' efforts and nobody was hurt.

:10:11.:10:12.

Firefighters say they'll be there all night.

:10:13.:10:18.

The fear now, that the hotel's ruined facade may collapse.

:10:19.:10:20.

A cross party group of MPs is calling on mobile phone companies

:10:21.:10:29.

to let customers switch between UK networks in areas of poor coverage.

:10:30.:10:32.

They say foreign visitors often get a better service, because

:10:33.:10:36.

"roaming" lets them move to the strongest signal.

:10:37.:10:39.

People come here to get away from it all.

:10:40.:10:45.

And forgetting about the outside world is easy when contacting

:10:46.:10:48.

I think if you get up on top of the peaks, you get

:10:49.:10:56.

But, hey, you don't go up there every day!

:10:57.:10:59.

But down in the land of the living, it is quite difficult to pick up

:11:00.:11:02.

The minute I walk out the house, the first thing I do is pick

:11:03.:11:07.

up my phone, I won't necessarily pick up my money or anything.

:11:08.:11:10.

Then you come out here and you think, I have really

:11:11.:11:12.

got my phone with me today just to map my steps,

:11:13.:11:15.

not to really to use it as a phone, because you can't!

:11:16.:11:18.

The situation is not good enough, according to a report

:11:19.:11:20.

It says 17 million of us don't get a proper signal at home,

:11:21.:11:25.

and 28% of rural areas get no coverage at all.

:11:26.:11:28.

One of the suggestions being made is that we should be able to jump

:11:29.:11:32.

onto the strongest signal in areas where there's poor coverage,

:11:33.:11:39.

just as foreign tourists do when they have a roaming service.

:11:40.:11:42.

But in areas like this one, where there is no service at all -

:11:43.:11:45.

"not-spots" as they're known - that's not a solution.

:11:46.:11:47.

Firstly, it doesn't deal with the not-spot issue.

:11:48.:11:51.

Secondly, that it doesn't always give a very good

:11:52.:11:55.

customer experience, it's relatively technically

:11:56.:11:59.

But, most importantly, it doesn't put the incentives

:12:00.:12:06.

to invest in more mobile coverage in the right places.

:12:07.:12:10.

While a lack of service can be a hassle for visitors,

:12:11.:12:13.

for people who live and work in places like this,

:12:14.:12:16.

It's an inconvenience, because a lot of my guests that

:12:17.:12:21.

stay at the Hazel Bank, they come from areas where they've

:12:22.:12:23.

With more than 500 not-spots across the UK, for many

:12:24.:12:34.

the frustrating game of hunt-the-phone-signal goes on.

With all the sport, here's John Watson at the BBC Sport Centre.

England's cricketers face a tough battle if they're

:12:51.:12:52.

to avoid a First Test defeat against Bangladesh in Dhaka.

:12:53.:13:00.

A win for the hosts would be a momentous occasion,

:13:01.:13:02.

they have only previously only beaten Zimbabwe and the West

:13:03.:13:05.

A wicket with the last ball to keep alive England's hopes

:13:06.:13:09.

But if the tourists at the final say, this was otherwise Bangladesh's

:13:10.:13:20.

day. England's bid to chase

:13:21.:13:22.

down their first innings' 220 was undermined by the loss of Moeen

:13:23.:13:25.

Ali. Ben Stokes quickly followed, he went

:13:26.:13:27.

for a duck. When in trouble,

:13:28.:13:31.

call for the cavalry. Joe Root is England's best batsman,

:13:32.:13:34.

a 23rd test half-century was timely. But his dismissal left the tourists

:13:35.:13:37.

144-8, so a strong partnership between Chris Woakes

:13:38.:13:41.

and Adil Rashid was required. 99 runs were added and a lead

:13:42.:13:44.

of 24 established. Bangladesh knew a sizable total

:13:45.:13:55.

would make them firm favourites, They started the second innings

:13:56.:14:06.

well. Zafar Ansari removed Tamil Iqbal for his first Test wicket.

:14:07.:14:12.

Imrul Kayes reached 50 to put the hosts in control.

:14:13.:14:15.

But then came Ansari's late strike, as England showed Bangladesh

:14:16.:14:17.

Things remain tight at the top of the Premier League

:14:18.:14:22.

If you're waiting to watch Match of the Day and don't want to know

:14:23.:14:26.

Manchester City beat West Bromich Albion 4-0 -

striker Sergio Aguero with two of the goals -

:14:34.:14:35.

which sees them return to the top of the table on goal difference.

:14:36.:14:38.

Arsenal are in second on goal difference, after beating Sunderland

:14:39.:14:40.

Liverpool are also level on points, thanks to a 4-2 win

:14:41.:14:50.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was sent to the stands

:14:51.:14:53.

as his side were held to a goalless draw at home to Burnley.

:14:54.:14:58.

Celtic have a nine point lead in the Scottish Premiership

:14:59.:15:00.

Rangers are up to second following a 3-0 win over Kilmarnock.

Bottom of the table Dundee ended a run of six straight defeats,

In Rugby League's Four Nations tournament, England were narrowly

:15:08.:15:17.

beaten 17-16 in their opening match in Huddersfield.

:15:18.:15:19.

The home side pulled level in the second half, a clever pass

:15:20.:15:22.

The match was settled by a Shaun Johnson drop goal.

:15:23.:15:26.

England still have matches against Scotland and

:15:27.:15:27.

And Lewis Hamilton will start on pole for tomorrow's

The World Champion is looking to keep his faint hopes

:15:32.:15:39.

He will be joined on the front row by team mate Nico Rosberg,

:15:40.:15:43.

who only needs to finish second or above in the three

:15:44.:15:46.

remaining races to claim his first World title.

:15:47.:15:47.

Don't forget, the clocks go back in the early hours of the morning.

:15:48.:16:01.

Enjoy your extra hour sleeping in. That's all from us, good night.

:16:02.:16:13.

It has been another very mild day out there today. Very cloudy for the

:16:14.:16:19.

most part but where the cloud did break we saw temperatures as high as

:16:20.:16:24.

19 degrees
