Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

French officials in charge of clearing the so-called Jungle

migrant camp say they have accomplished their mission.

The day began with fires raging through many of the makeshift

shelters, that was blamed on departing migrants.

Tonight, aid workers have raised concerns about a number of children

who have yet to be accommodated and aid workers on the ground say some

migrants have returned to the area. Lucy Williamson is in Calais. Is

this the end of the camp? I think after a softer, more gradual

approach over the last few days to encourage the migrants to leave,

this feels like a major push by officials to get this operation

done. Behind me, this processing centre is due to stay open as late

as necessary tonight to register anyone who still wants to leave, and

as of now, there are thought to be 200 people living in the camp at the

end of a dramatic day. Today, the eerie calm that has hung

over the Jungle broke. The ending of the camp telegraphed

across the Calais sky. Shelters set ablaze in protest,

perhaps, or resignation So far there has been very little

resistance to this clearance. But the operation seems to be

reaching a tipping point. Those who are still here

have a different point to make. At the camp's borders,

those who still had homes inside watched and waited,

held back by riot police. Officials say the fires have

speeded up the eviction and that the clearance

will be over by tonight. TRANSLATION: We are seeing that

after three days 5000 have come to this

centre so far. The last fires in the camp

have convinced them. We have seen some Syrians who didn't

want to come initially. They are here now and community

leaders, who said they also wanted to go now that their communities

have gone and there was no-one left. But, in the past few hours,

migrants have been filing back into the Jungle

to sleep among the ashes. His friends, who joined

the buses out on Monday, had told him it was not leaving,

he said, and they were I know the Jungle has been

finished - nothing - but it's better to be

there until tomorrow. If the police come, we are ready

to go to the detention centre. Aid workers say the speed of today's

operation has left some of the camp's most vulnerable

with nowhere to sleep tonight. In terms of the children,

they are in not all We have counted so, so many

who don't have the response, cannot get into the containers,

cannot go into the centre and have Officials say this is the last

chance for migrants to leave before The story of Calais'

migrants is over, they say. But for those still determined

to reach Britain, it doesn't feel Iraqi Special Forces say they've

moved more than 1,000 civilians from front line areas around

the city of Mosul - the last stronghold of so-called

Islamic State in the country. As Iraqi troops and Kurdish

fighters continue their push towards the city, the militants

are fighting back with scores Orla Guerin reports

from the village of Fazliya. In the skies near Mosul, Apache

helicopters armed with missiles but The call to prayer echoes

deep in the valley below The black flag of IS

still flying here. Look at the other

flags on the rooftops. Kurdish forces believe innocent

civilians are indicating their locations but

they are also a human shield for IS. They have gathered families in a few

houses, says Captain Ali Hassan. That's why we can't open

fire or bomb with jets. Otherwise we would have taken

this village quickly. When it comes to taking

Mosul, there are lessons to be learned in the

villages further east. Time has already run out

for IS here but they have left Drums of oil, which they used

to create a smoke screen. The whole world is fighting for this

says this Kurdish colonel, We didn't lift

the rocks to find out. Inside the mosque, bags of earth,

hidden from view. We descended to the depths

of an underground lair. In this elaborate warren,

IS fighters could live and move around,

safe from air strikes This was the sleeping area

for one of the fighters. There are strong beams here and

there was an electricity supply. There were also some

creature comforts. There is a fan here with Koranic

verses written on it. It's a list of rules

and regulations. There are rules for how you should

pray on a Friday, how to pray when you travel,

and how to pray before And the jihadis are emerging from

tunnels like this This is just one

tunnel in one village. Imagine what lies waiting under

the streets of Mosul. There are reports that

more than 20 people, many of them children,

have been killed in air strikes on a rebel-held village

in north-western Syria. A school was one of several

locations targeted in the village It was not immediately clear

if the raids were carried out by Syrian government

or Russian warplanes. People in the lowest paid jobs

across the UK have seen the biggest rise in earnings over the last

financial year - that's according to the Office

for National Statistics. It says their incomes have been

boosted by the introduction Our personal finance correspondent

Simon Gompertz is here. Simon, how much of a rise is this?

Well, the new National Living Wage is higher, for those who qualify for

it, the over 25s. It replaced the national minimum wage for them in

April and it is set at ?7 20 per hour, which is 50p more than they

were getting before. We are talking about more than 4 million people. It

has been a dramatic impact. Today's official figures showed that the

lowest paid a 6.2% more as a result of that. That has a knock-on effect

on part-time rates and also low paid women. Although there is still aged

pay gap, a gap between men and women's pay of around 9%, that is

the narrowest it has been on record. This is about the National Living

Wage so presumably it is a one-off boost? It is a one-off boost because

the move to it was a big one. It will go up moderately from now on

but less than people might have hoped. At the same time, we are

hearing about these price increases that are coming along. Because of

the sharp drop in the value of the pound, the things we import like

food, clothing, petrol and diesel, electrical goods are likely to go up

sharply. So it will be slightly higher wages but not going as far.

Thank you. The telecoms company Vodafone has

apologised for a series of failings after it was fined ?4.6 million

by the industry regulator, Ofcom. It found that thousands

of pay-as-you go customers hadn't had their accounts credited,

and that complaints to the company hadn't been handled in a "fair

and timely manner". The UK Independence Party has

released the findings of an internal inquiry into a row between two

of its MEPs at the European Parliament in Strasbourg

earlier this month. Steven Woolfe - who has

since left the party - was admitted to hospital

after the incident. Now the inquiry has found

that he started the argument but has issued a formal reprimand to fellow

MEP Mike Hookem. Let's talk to our political

correspondent Alex Forsyth Alex, what have we actually learnt

today from this enquiry? Well, George, what we have learned is we

may never know exactly what occurred in an anteroom here at the European

Parliament some three weeks ago, but we have got some clarity about the

events leading up to this incident. There was a meeting of Ukip MEPs. It

became heated. Steven Woolfe asked to his colleague Mike Hookem to step

outside. Mr Woolfe claimed Mike Hookem landed a blow which caused

him to fall backwards and striker 's head, something Mike Hookem has

consistently denied. And he did so today. In his view this report

exonerates them. I am pleased it has come out and it has stated that no

blows hit him and I'm pleased it states that if he has hit his head,

he has done it by his own volition. He fell backwards through the door.

I had nothing whatsoever to do with that. Now, this report does say that

Steven Woolfe instigated the incident but because he has resigned

from Ukip, there will be in action against him. It also does say that

the true facts of what happened in that side room are almost impossible

to determine and tonight, Steven Woolfe, I'm told, is sticking to his

version of events, with some support from the president of the European

Parliament who has referred this matter to the French prosecutor.

Ukip may wish to draw a line under what is an embarrassingly incident

but it seems the fallout could continue. Thank you.

French authorities say it's mission accomplished -

they have closed down the so-called jungle migrant camp in Calais.

The fall in the value of the pound following the EU referendum means

that travelling abroad has become more expensive - but the flip side

is that there are bargains for tourists coming here.

Nowhere is that more apparent than on Northern Ireland's

border with the Republic, where shoppers from the south

are finding there are big savings to be had.

Our Ireland correspondent Chris Buckler

George, a weak pound means a relatively strong euro and frankly,

that is good for business in the border towns along Northern Ireland.

Londonderry, Enniskillen and here in Newry. There have been reports of

queues of shoppers at the weekend as Irish shoppers look to take

advantage of the bargains here on offer. Lots of stores have signed up

saying they will accept euros. Some are offering an exchange rate of ?1

for 1 euro if people are prepared to buy and many are.

A trip across the border has become a bargain hunt.

As the value of sterling has fallen, the number of shoppers

arriving in Northern Ireland from the Republic has risen,

You're getting so much more for your euro these days anyway.

Well, I'm only literally walking in and I'm seeing

What kind of a different are we talking about?

The shopping centres in Newry keep track of how many cars

arrive with Republic of Ireland number plates.

We've seen that figure increase by about 62%

There is a very clear correlation between that increase

in cross-border business and the result of the EU referendum.

But Tesco's recent dispute with one of its suppliers,

Unilever, indicated that eventually shops will come under pressure

to pay more for goods imported from elsewhere in Europe.

There are Tesco's about 20 minutes' drive apart north and south

We compared the prices for a small shop, between one of the company's

Branded cornflakes, for example, cost ?2 in Newry, and 3 euros south

There are other noticeable differences in price,

including some for Unilever favourites.

If you convert the Irish prices to pounds, there was a 30% saving

to be made buying this basket in the UK.

But how long when so many goods are imported?

Sooner or later, Tesco's and the other supermarkets,

they have to pay the price for the raw materials

But, for the moment, border towns like Newry are hoping

That's because you can make savings on things like a tablet computer,

which is ?75 cheaper on this side of the border, ir a big-screen TV,

I have been up a few times, to be honest with you.

Especially if you've got big items to buy, you'd save a lot of money.

At this time of year, smaller prices can be

With under two weeks until America elects a new President -

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are out on the campaign trail

rallying support in key battleground states.

In a moment we'll hear from our North America editor Jon Sopel,

who's with the Clinton camp, but first here's our chief

correspondent Gavin Hewitt, who's been following the Trump team.

The pace frenetic. Donald Trump targeting Florida, making 12

campaign stops in state he has to win. His team concedes he is behind

but his crowds remained large and impassioned. In Tampa stopping to

hug the flag he lays out his core message, putting America first,

bringing back jobs and promised to roll back President Obama's and

version health care plan. I want to repeal and replace Obama care, a

disaster. His convoys moves on. His team buoyed by the size of the

crowd. He uses his plane as a prop. Here, as elsewhere, he soaks in

tents delight for Hillary Clinton saying she lies more than any other

human being. Another stop and despite there's then two weeks to go

till polling we were led out to a Donald Trump golf resort. It felt as

much a commercial for his business empire as a campaign stop. MPs were

invited to come forward and declare he was a good boss. I love working

here. I love my co-workers. They take really good care of me. As he

leaves, I questioned whether his strategy is working. Mr Trump, do

you still think you can win? Actually, I think we are leading.

When you look at the polls. I think we are winning. More crowds wait for

him in a field in Tallahassee. There is an undercurrent at these events

but the establishment is lining up against him. Donald Trump insists

the polls of phoney and there is a real danger that the outcome will be

rigged. He tells audiences like this, don't let the elite steal the

election. The Donald Trump, boy departs. Every day, Donald Trump

mentions Brexit. He believes in American hidden pools of voters who

will bring unexpected victory. Not stumbling is what it's

all about now for Hillary Clinton. The polls are in her favour,

the debates are over, And she says from now on she's not

going to react to what Donald Trump says but is going to set out

the positive case. She couldn't resist responding

after he tweeted that the attack He's proving to the world what it

means to have an unqualified It's not only wrong, it's dangerous,

and it needs to be repudiated on November the 8th,

here in New Hampshire On the platform with her senator,

Elizabeth Warren, the most effective attack dog the Democrats have,

she gets under Donald Trump's skin He thinks that because he has

a mouthful of Tic Tacs, he can force himself on any woman

within groping distance. Women have had it

with guys like you. And she piled in after Donald Trump

called Hillary Clinton that "nasty On November the 8th,

we nasty women are going to march our nasty feet,

to cast our nasty votes to get The growing confidence

of the Clinton campaign as she crisscrosses the country

in these final two weeks of campaigning is being

matched by despondency, teetering on despair,

among some Republicans facing Their once strong support for Donald

Trump is beginning to dissipate. A police officer has

been shot and killed... The crucible of this election

battle, or recent election battles for that matter,

is Florida, where early A victory here for Hillary Clinton

would in effect means it's game At a rally, they sang

her happy birthday. She's hoping the present

from the American people will come Hillary Clinton left this venue a

few minutes ago. It's almost as though she's on cruise control.

Speak to some of her key aides. A few weeks ago enormous nervousness.

Now there is confidence but no complacency. But, the polls are

extremely volatile at the moment. A recent one in Florida showed Donald

Trump two points ahead. Another showed Hillary Clinton for points

ahead. There are still a large number of undecided American voters.

As they say over here, this cake is not yet baked, which seems an

appropriate payoff, given tonight's finale. Many thanks.

jeopardy. Isn't that right, Mary? The first winner in 2010 was Edd

Kimber. He had no idea if anyone would watch the show. When he won,

he quit his job in banking and went for baking. Is it a full-time job? I

just wanted to be able to make baking my career for day one the

show has finished, that is all I have done. Six years on, the show

has gone around the world. The moment the news came that the

British version was moving from the BBC to Channel 4, Edd Kimber's phone

began to ring you are surprised by the amount of interest? A bit. I

have done interviews with CNN, the Washington Post. All about The Great

technical challenge. Not plain sailing all the while will stop

there has been rain around. Some damp weather around. Thicker cloud

and another weather front approaching the far north-west of

Scotland later tonight. Mild for most. A bit chilly in the sheltered

Scottish blends. This evening and overnight, watch out for mist and

fog developing. Some of that could be quite dense for the morning rush

hour. A lot of clout to start the day tomorrow. By afternoon most of

us should see sunny spells. Into north-west Scotland, some of the

rain could be on the heavy side. It will be 13 - 16. Some of us could

see a team once again. The wind will sink further south into parts of

Northern Ireland. It will be foggy to start the day on Friday. North

and south of that a few brighter breaks. On the whole, a fair amount

of cloud. That is the picture going into the weekend. We have high

you see much in the way of blue skies was that most places will be

dry going through the weekend. Notice these temperatures. They are
