I am Ros Atkins. Welcome back to Outside Source. We start with the US | :00:11. | :00:20. | |
election. Hillary Clinton's campaign is on more e-mail revelations. They | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
say the FBI has to explain why it has chosen to announce this further | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
investigation so close to election day. Both candidates have been | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
turning to the issue during rallies in swing states. | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
The NFL has held three games here in London | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
We will look back at the matches and ahead to what it means | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
In sport will also speak about the World Series as well as the NFL, | :00:46. | :01:00. | |
because Cleveland are also there. The Chicago Cubs have come back, | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
almost. We will look at the sixth game with help from our London | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
reporter. And you can get me with the hashtag year or on social media. | :01:11. | :01:18. | |
-- And you can get me with the hashtag here or on social media. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are going to be spending the last | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
few days before the election visiting swing states. | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
Over the next week on Outside Source, we're going to be talking | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
to journalists from some of these states - | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
Derek at reasons for this state being so important. | :01:38. | :01:47. | |
It's the seventh most populous state. | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
And no Republican has won the presidency without winning Ohio | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
since Abraham Lincoln - and that was in 1860. | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
Let's talk to Randy Ludlow, senior Reporter with the Columbus Dispatch | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
newspaper. Thank you for joining us. First of all, help us understand | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
Ohio full sub is this a state which easily divides into different types | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
of voter? Well, Hohaia has always been very much seen as a bellwether | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
because of its mix, it is almost a microcosm of America -- Ohio State | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
also we have the big industrial cities, Cincinnati, Cleveland, | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
Columbus. Columbus is a higher education centre with the | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
University. We have a lot of blue-collar manufacturing in smaller | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
towns. We have agriculture, the largest business and we have a slice | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
of Abu Aisheh across south-eastern Ohio -- Abu | :02:57. | :03:06. | |
people argue that Ohio is losing its bellwether status because we don't | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
quite have the Latino population other states have gained. Why might | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
you hear from American voters in places like California who feel they | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
are not so involved in the election because everyone knows which way | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
their state is going to go. Do people in Ohio feel pride in the | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
fact that the choice they make does matter? It is a mantle we have long | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
warned and they fight very hard over this state. Hillary Clinton, it | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
could be argued, doesn't have to have a victory including Ohio, but | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Donald Trump must absolutely have a higher if he is to have any chance | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
of winning the presidency. What is your reading of the situation at the | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
moment? How are the campaign is doing in their pitch to people in | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
Ohio? The polls suggest that Ohio remains a toss-up and it is hard to | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
toss-up which way it is going. The Democrats, to their credit, are much | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
better organised than the Trump forces. Hillary is also out | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
advertising Trump here in Ohio as well as other battle ground states. | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
Ohio is always close either way. So I don't see the use being any | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
different this time around. We may not know which way the state goes | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
until late election night. Let me ask you about one curiosity, Randy. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
Donald Trump has been taking pops at the Ohio Governor, John Kasich, a | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
man that you might think he wants on his side. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
Well, obviously Governor John Kasich battled Trump and the other | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
Republican contenders in the primary and he was always critical of Mr | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
Trump and what he cold his divisiveness where John Kasich was | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
trying to speak to a more inclusive and a more moderate, if you would, | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
GOP while still endorsing the Conservative tenants of the party. | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
He refused to attend the Republican National Convention where Trump | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
accepted the nomination. There has been some back and forth between the | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
various camps. Trump will not be getting the support of Governor John | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
Kasich. The Trump campaign in fact this associated itself of the state | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
Republican chairman Matt Borders, a close ally of John Kasich. Trump | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
does not have the John Kasich bargaining chip in his corner going | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
into the election and that is not helping his election in Ohio. We | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
appreciate your time in such a busy stage of the cycle. Randy Ludlow | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
from the Columbus Dispatch newspaper. | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
We will stay with US politics. Just before I came up here I read an | :06:06. | :06:15. | |
article with Politico describing both this -- tested candidates -- | :06:16. | :06:23. | |
detested candidates. By any measure we have | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are among the most disliked | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
candidates in presidential history. David Botti's latest | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
report looks at why. There are 320 million people in the | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
US and out of these just two have a chance of becoming the next | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
President. Sorry, third-party candidates. And also, they are very | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
unpopular. So, how did they rise to the top? First, what you need to | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
understand is that America in 2016 is ideologically very divided. | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
Research found that median Democrats and Republicans have moved further | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
apart over the past two decades. And they also found that partisan | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
divisions are greatest among those who are the most active in the | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
political process. Most active in the political process. Guess who | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
those people are. They are the ones voting in the primaries and there is | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
the rub. The two mainstream candidates are not chosen by the | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
general public, they are chosen in the primaries by the parties, which | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
are private institutions with their own rules and agendas. So let's | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
break it down. Only 18% of Americans voted in the primaries. And only | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
half of them chose either Trump or Clinton. The rest voted for other | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
candidates. And those candidates stood for a huge range of positions | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
that are no longer represented for the voters. So a small portion of | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
the most polarised Americans chose the mainstream candidates, which may | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
explain why there's less national love for them. But here is a wrinkle | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
for you. Both were once upon a time pretty popular. Clinton was an | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
extremely popular Secretary of State whose favourability rating was 63% | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
when she left office. And Trump, of course, he had a top rated TV | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
programme in the Apprentice. But stepping into that unforgiving | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
presidential campaign arena tends to hurt a candidate's favourability. | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
For Clinton she has a 30 year record with ups and downs her opponents can | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
exploit and her supporters say sexism plays a role in the animosity | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
towards her. And forth Trump, that bombastic behaviour that won TV | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
viewers makes him unpopular, not just with traditional Democratic | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
opponents, which is obvious, but also moderate Republicans so he has | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
a two front war. Even now both candidates aren't very popular among | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
certain groups. But hardly on the national level. So what does any of | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
this mean? Will people just not bother to vote? And is this the year | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
that voters demand more than the 2-party system can provide? David | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
Botti, BBC News, Washington. I enjoy watching the reports from David and | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
we will have more coming between now and election day, I promise. | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
Outside Source sport, beginning with the NFL International series taking | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
place in London had it wrapped up on Sunday. | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
The Washington Redskins drew 27-27 with the Cincinnati | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
That doesn't happen often in the NFL. | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
The NFL is huge already in the UK, with popularity growing. | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
The NFL is doing this to spread the appeal of its sport and a thriller | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
like that helps, doesn't it? Absolutely and the NFL, make no | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
mistake, is huge with popularity growing. The international series is | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
into its tenth year, three matches in 2016 at Wembley and Twickenham, | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
three sell-outs averaging more than 80,000 fans with hour-long queues | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
for merchandise tents, there is a genuine anger, the Colts, the | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
Giants, the Bengals, the Rams and Redskins in the UK this year the | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
dolphins will play the Saints in the 2017 series. Wembley is committed to | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
hosting games until 2020 and whipped Tottenham building a new stadium | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
which will stage two matches per season between 2018 and 2027th, it | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
is being built to host both the Premier League and NFL and is set to | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
open in 2018, which brings us on to the | :10:28. | :10:50. | |
question of a London franchise. The British government wants it, the | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
jags have been tipped as the team most likely to relocate, London is | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
calling for the NFL, the new ground at Tottenham will have a retractable | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
playing surface pulling a grass soccer field over synthetic | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
footballs turf, so you can host a soccer game and a football game on | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
the same day and there will be the dedicated entrance for soccer and | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
the other one dedicated for the NFL, all of which seems a bit much for | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
two NFL games a year, so make no mistake, a London franchise is just | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
a matter of time. I get the franchise bid of the teams want to | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
be schlepping all the way from the US to London to play a home game or | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
an away game depending on which side of the game they are? | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
That is the big question because you are giving up their home game and | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
only plate 16 before the play-offs so eight of those at home and giving | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
up one of the home games. For the fans, you are not getting the fans | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
you would get if you are the Oakland Raiders, perhaps tipped to come | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
across the pond and the Jaguars. Such huge interest and it is key, | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
because they are financially rewarded for the games in the UK, | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
they don't give up a home game for the sake of it and the teams that | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
are coming over at the moment are those teams not within a play-off | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
shout, the Rams and the New York Giants, teams on the up, and even | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
the Raiders who we might see in the UK next year. Heading up a home game | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
but you are being rewarded for it as well. | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
Interesting and intriguing and we will speak again through the week. | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
The Chicago Cubs are still in it - they beat the Cleveland Indians | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
You will not be surprised to hear that. | :12:05. | :12:24. | |
Why not ask? -- us. I feel we play our best with our backs against the | :12:25. | :12:37. | |
war. We went and took care of business and hopefully we are going | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
to go out there and win Game six because you never know what happens | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
in game seven. We are all about writing our own history. This team | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
is a special one. You look so many times throughout the year, we have | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
not been playing good, but I feel we have turned that around. I saw | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
something, someone told me today 17 times this year we lost a game and | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
went on to win three in a row so why can't we do that now? | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
He hit the nail on the head, we are writing our own history, making | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
history, why not stop? This is entertaining to us, this is fun, and | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
we live for this. We see lots of challenges ahead of us. We embrace | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
them. That's what we've been talking about since spring training 2015. | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
That's kind of the mindset we have had and we definitely haven't lost | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
that. There is a different story coming out of Cleveland, you will | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
not be surprised to know. I think it's business as usual. We | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
have to take tomorrow in the same way we have taken every game up | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
until now. If we relax or take our foot off the gas pedal that will | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
allow them to gain momentum and get back into the series. In a few | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
minutes we are going to continue a series of reports BBC Arabic has | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
been making about women shamed online. This is the young woman in | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
Bangladesh who was raped 15 years ago and is still being shamed online | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
because of that. We will have a report about her experience. | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
A lorry driver who killed a mother and three children while distracted | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
by his phone has been jailed for ten years. | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
The judge said that Tomasz Kroker might as well have had his eyes | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
closed when he crashed into stationary traffic in Berkshire | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
Four lives lost in a fraction of one second. Tracy Holton, her sons, | :14:31. | :14:46. | |
Ethan and Josh, and her stepdaughter Aimee Fuller stop today at Reading | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
Crown Court dug, the father of Josh and Ethan, and other family members, | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
came to hear how they died after being hit by a lorry driver using | :14:56. | :15:04. | |
his mobile phone. That driver was 30-year-old Tomasz Kroker, who had | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
been on his phone for up to 45 seconds before impact. Cameras in | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
his lorry show him scrawling on his phone to change the music he was | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
listening to. He only looks up less than one second before he hits a | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
line of stationary traffic in front of him. The car Tracey and her | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
children were in is barely visible under the back of the lorry on the | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
right. The judge said Tomasz Kroker might have well been driving with | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
his eyes closed. Tracey's partner, any's father mark, was travelling in | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
the car behind and saw it all. We pulled up behind some lorries, just | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
crawling along, everyone slowed down and then that was it. | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
Bang. Today any's natural mother Kate also spoke of the impact on | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
her. Our children lost their lives | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
because of the reckless actions of Thomas Croker -- Tomasz Kroker. But | :16:04. | :16:12. | |
we're not the only family to have suffered to what is perceived by | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
many as minor, inconsequential crime. A crime that takes place on | :16:18. | :16:25. | |
our roads every day. We urge you to make a personal commitment to stop | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
using mobile phones whilst driving, and make our roads safer for | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
everyone. Croker was jailed for a total of ten years today after | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
admitting dangerous driving. In the incident the family said was wholly | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
avoidable and has left them utterly devastated -- Tomasz Kroker. Duncan | :16:48. | :16:49. | |

This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom. I am Ros Atkins. | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
Donald Trump says the FBI has done the right thing. | :17:07. | :17:22. | |
In the past few days we have been running a series of reports on | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
thousands of people in some of the world's most conservative societies | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
are being threatened, blackmailed or ashamed with explicitly revealing | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
images. 15 years ago a girl cold Purmina shill was attacked and | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
gang-raping. Slowly she has managed to rebuild her life, but now social | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
media is being used to discredit her. This is her story from | :17:48. | :17:48. | |
Bangladesh. In the last couple of minutes of | :17:49. | :20:36. | |
Outside Source let's Quebecer Anthony in the BBC's newsroom in | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
Washington, DC. We will not get through all of these questions. | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
Jeffrey wants to ask about Harry Reid's letter, a very senior | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
Democrat, in which he makes an allegation the FBI knows of ties | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
between Russia and Donald Trump's campaign. He says, is there any | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
proof of that? That has been rumoured in the media for a while. | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
There is some evidence, the FBI has said Russian hackers have been | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
involved in the Wikileaks hacks damaging Hillary Clinton. There is a | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
CNBC report out earlier today saying they decided not to commence with | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
the information will publicly because it could affect the | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
election, which is exactly what he didn't do on Friday with the Hillary | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
Clinton e-mail story. Down in the UK wants to know about | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
this CNN Democrat resignation story today. Then Brazil, the head of the | :21:26. | :21:33. | |
Democratic National Committee HQ but earlier this year she was a talking | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
head for the Democrats on CNN, and apparently thanks to these Wikileaks | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
revelations she is shared several questions to a Hillary Clinton town | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
Hall on CNN in Michigan, one of which was about the water crisis in | :21:49. | :21:56. | |
Flint, Michigan, it wasn't a debate, it was a town hall with Hillary | :21:57. | :21:58. | |
Clinton answering questions in the audience. Jess wants to ask if | :21:59. | :22:06. | |
Hillary Clinton can still win after the FBI investigation. I definitely | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
think she can still win and I would say she is still favourite. The | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
electoral playing field is still tilted in her favour, she still | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
leads in the polls by a more narrow margin, but importantly she is | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
leading in many key swing states and has a built-in advantage. In the | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
states she will win like California, New York, and Illinois, that have a | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
lot of electoral votes and sway in this election. | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
Thank you for your extra help, Anthony. Live from Washington, DC. | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
Interesting tweet from the BBC's North America editor Jon Sopel, | :22:39. | :22:47. | |
showing a quote from Harold Wilson, week is a long time in politics, | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
quoted a lot in the US command that applies for the next week. Stay | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
tuned for every twist and turn from the BBC newsroom. We will see you | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
tomorrow at the same time. Bye bye. Hello, I'm will Perry with the | :22:59. | :23:11. | |
latest from the BBC's centre. | :23:12. | :23:13. |
