Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

The government has been accused of an establishment stitch-up

after the Home Secretary ruled out an inquiry into one of the most

brutal clashes between the police and striking miners in 1984.

It became known as the "Battle of Orgreave", and for decades

campaigners have argued that South Yorkshire Police manufactured

evidence after the event - precisely what the same force

was found to have done five years later at Hillsborough.

But Amber Rudd said that a review of the events of three decades ago

would offer very few lessons for policing today.

Dan Johnson has been following the story.

The images of violence from Orgreave were unforgettable, but exactly what

they show has been argued over for a generation. The miners kept up their

campaign for what they regard as justice, but today anger and

disappointment followed 30 years of bitterness. We say the decision is

deeply disappointing, and absolutely unacceptable. It is nearly 32 years

since 95 miners were arrested at Orgreave. Some of those miners are

dead now, and the surviving 1's face the prospect of more time, more

delay, before we get truth and justice.

This was the moment that stands their campaign. I have concluded

that there is no case for either a statutory enquiry or an independent

review. The opposition cried cover up. Are we right in concluding that

the establishment stitch up that she has just announced today is nothing

more than a nakedly political act? The Orgreave families and

campaigners need the same justice as Hillsborough had. They need the same

type of independent enquiry to establish the truth. In this

situation, in Orgreave, there were no miscarriages of justice. There

were no deaths. There were no convictions. This is an astonishing

and frankly shameful decision. The government have led those families

up the garden path for the last two years. For the miners, this was an

aggressive overreaction by the police, a deliberate use of force to

show they couldn't win the strike. The police say they had to uphold

the law, in the face of an angry crowd set on disrupting industry and

even overthrowing the government. The miners have always believed

there was police brutality that day, and that many of them were

unlawfully arrested, and that police statements were dictated to prove

more serious charges against them. Today, the Home Secretary was clear

- these issues will now be left to live. But moving on will not be easy

for miners like mix. Wrongful arrest, false prosecution, and

perjury that was committed by the police. Basically, I feel it is a

massive injustice, and I think an enquiry would help provide these

answers I'm wanting, but also put some safeguards in place that it

will not happen again. But there are other voices welcoming today's

decision. I think it's completely right. It's about events long ago,

and events where the facts are quite clearly known. They are all

recorded. There is no difficulty about that. The fact there was no

loss of life here and nobody was convicted led the Home Secretary to

conclude Orgreave isn't worthy of re-examination, but it's a decision

that will not be easily accepted by those who say there are still

unanswered questions. It is proving to be a very

contentious decision. What is the government's decision? One minor who

was there on that day who came to Westminster to hear that decision

was physically shaking when he talked about it. It seemed he simply

could not believe what he heard. Ministers say they have looked at

all the evidence but concluded there were not wrongful convictions,

nobody lost their lives, despite the horrors of the day, and they wonder

what an enquiry would actually achieve. They say how the police

operate has already changed beyond all recognition. Enquiries, at great

cost and great duration, are often set up to work out what went wrong

to ensure it doesn't happen again. In the case of Orgreave, they

believe things have already changed beyond all recognition, so having a

costly enquiry would not be worth it. This could hardly be more

political and more personal. It speaks to the decades of tension now

between mining communities in the north of England and the

Conservative Party. The tension and the raw disappointment we saw today

was plain for all to see. Public enquiries are very easy to call for.

Politicians do it very often. They are very difficult to turn down. One

Cabinet minister said to me of Orgreave, the hardest thing was to

say no. Thank you. A lorry driver who killed a mother

and three children when his truck crashed into their stationary car

while he was distracted by his mobile phone was today

jailed for ten years. Tomasz Kroker hit a line

of traffic at 50mph The mother of one of the victims

warned of the dangers of using mobile phones,

and said the sentence The precious moments of a family

life that no longer exists. Here, brothers Ethan and Josh, and their

sister, Aimee. The three children killed in this horrific crash. They

died, together with their mother Tracy, at the end of what had been a

family holiday. They were killed by this man, Tomasz Kroker, seen here

on his mobile phone just before the crash. Cameras in his lorry show him

scrolling through his music for up to 45 seconds before impact. He

slammed into four vehicles, including the one carrying Tracy and

their children, killing them instantly. Kroker can be seen here

on the left in the hooded top moments after the crash. Tracy's

partner Mark had been behind her car in the silver is state on the right

that shunted her vehicle under the blue lorry. We pulled up behind some

lorries just crawling along. We slowed right down. And then that was

it. Bang! And I looked down at this car, and, my God. The crash happened

last August on the a 34 in Berkshire. The judge said it was

like the lorry driver, Tomasz Kroker, had been driving with his

eyes closed. The mother of 13-year-old Aimee, one of the four

who died, said using mobile phones whilst driving had devastating

consequences. Mr Kroker's use of his mobile phone whilst driving turned

his lorry into a lethal weapon. It only takes a second of distraction

to kill someone, destroying your life, your family's lives, and those

of your victim and their family. Today's outcome must serve as a

reminder to us all of our responsibilities every time we

drive, and that decisions we make can be fatal. Tomasz Kroker was

today jailed for a total of ten years after admitting dangerous

driving. His victims' family say this was one of the worst incidents

of its kind involving a mobile phone, wholly unavoidable, and

leaving them utterly inconsolable. We can join Duncan now. Just clarify

exactly what the law says on these matters. The law on using mobile

phones is very clear. We have had this advice tonight from the

Department for Transport, it is illegal to use a mobile phone whilst

you are driving, or when you are at traffic lights or in queueing

traffic. It is legal to use a mobile phone if you are parked, or in dire

emergencies, when you can make a 999 call on the move. It is also illegal

to use a hands-free set or a sat nav, -- it is also illegal to use,

but if police see you using it unsafely, you could be stopped. But

in this case, Tomasz Kroker was using his phone, with devastating

circumstances. Within the last few minutes, it's

been announced that the Governor of the Bank of England,

Mark Carney, is to stay Live now to our business editor

Simon Jack in Downing Street. I guess this will please disarm and

annoy others. This was a surprise signing of the former resident of 11

Downing Street in 2011. The intention was him to serve up to

eight years, but with an option after 2018 saying he could leave

after that. He had to make up his mind this year if he was going to

use that extension. In the last few minutes, he's confirmed he will

extend that stay by just a single year, to June 20 19. Crucially, that

takes us beyond the period where we trigger Article 50, so he clearly

thinks there is unfinished business to do, and his attitude towards

Brexit, which has angered some - he was considered by many in the

cabinet as the chief of Project Fear. He warned that the pound could

fall, and it did. When he decided to reduce interest rates further a few

months ago, people said he had overdone it, and that Project Fear

was still alive and well. There are not many jobs for the Bank of

England Governor to go to. The head of the World Bank, the head of the

IMF, those jobs are already taken. The head of the bank in Canada, his

home country, is already taken. The him to stay one year and not three

is a bit of a surprise. Thank you. Iraqi troops trying to drive

so-called Islamic State from its stronghold in the country

have advanced to the outskirts The assault - now in its third week

- involves hundreds of troops in heavily-armoured vehicles,

together with tanks and bulldozers, all supported by US-led

coalition air strikes. Our correspondent,

Ian Pannell, is travelling The final battle for Mosul is

getting close. Many expected these troops to pause, but that isn't what

happened today. It has just gone 6am, and as you can see, a large

military convoy is moving. We are with one section of the

counterterrorism force, and we are told there was an armoured division

that will move its way through the desert. There a column of special

Forces and a counterterrorism unit who will advance on the last two

villages before Mosul. We are also told that if they have enough

momentum and are able to move, they will not stop. The roads have been

laced with home-made bombs that have killed many. The convoy picks its

own path through the desert. The armoured column has now moved out of

the desert in a flanking manoeuvre, just going round the town of

Bazwaya. We are in the lead vehicle here with the commander of

counterterrorism forces. Over there is the town of Bazwaya, where they

are going to try to get to. If they manage to get through there, they

will move even further towards their main target. We are moving along now

inside a heavily armoured vehicle. There are two soldiers in the front

here, and this man's foot belongs to a gunner up in the turret, carrying

large calibre weapons, into what they think or Islamic State

positions. We are now moving into the town of Bazwaya, which will put

us within eyesight of Mosul. The troops fought their way into

Bazwaya. The last town standing between the Iraqi government and the

so-called Islamic State. And the closer they get, the fears

of the resistance. Units within the counterterrorism unit have just

advanced into this area. They have just opened attack on what they

think IS positions. We've just been told to get back into the vehicles.

They have another unit coming from the other side of the town. Fighter

jets are trying to give them cover overhead. A very confused and

dangerous situation. The few families left here have been trapped

between warring parties for years. If they are ever to live in peace,

this campaign needs a plan for what comes after the war. Today has been

a successful mission for the counterterrorism forces. They

managed to take the last town before the city of Mosul. The operations

have stopped for today. They are now less than a mile away from the heart

of the Islamic caliphate. More families homeless, more lives lost,

and the real battle is yet to come. The Government has ruled out

a public inquiry into a violent confrontation between police

and striking miners in 1984. Still the column. I am with the

Donald Trump campaign just And coming up on Reporting Scotland

a World War II veteran. And one of Charles Rennie

Mackintosh's earliest designs Officials in Glasgow are expected

to approve a controversial plan to set up the UK's first so-called

'self-injecting rooms', where drug addicts can inject

heroin and also smoke The scheme aims to address

the problems caused by an estimated 500 users who inject

on Glasgow's streets. Our social affairs correspondent,

Michael Buchanan, has more details. We came to this wasteland

to see the remnants The necessary tools of a heroin

addiction strewn far and wide. Up to 500 people inject heroin

in public in Glasgow. Within minutes, we'd been joined

by two of them. They'd come for the

first hit of the day. Moments later, I watched

as the heroin kicked in. With such problems, plans are afoot

to open the UK's first consumption centre -

a clinic where addicts can Safe-injecting rooms

would save a lot of lives. Coming to places like this,

as you can see, it's certainly not And then you come here

going to walk back out. Drug-related deaths are at record

levels across Britain and experts say the spike in new HIV infections

on-site, protecting both Glasgow's drug services

are highly regarded, but officials believe more is needed

to help street users. One option would see addicts

bring their own drugs to the clinic and hopefully engage

with other services. We know that a lot of people that

are in this situation are homeless, have mental and physical health

problems, so it's not just teaching This pharmacy highlights

the drug problem. It has a separate entrance for users

of methadone, But opening consumption rooms

will not reduce demand, It's effectively legalising drugs

and providing people with easy It's promoted, I think,

by people who in many instances have given up on the idea of recovery,

and their most convincing and persuasive suggestion

is to enable people to use illegal That is not how Scotland should be

Hillary Clinton's campaign Her use of private email

for official business when she was Secretary of State has

been exploited by Donald Trump, Over the weekend, the FBI announced

it had found new emails, relevant to their original

investigation into the issue. As our chief correspondent

Gavin Hewitt reports, that's revived the Trump campaign

and hurt Clinton's. Tell me about your job,

when you got started... Hillary Clinton drops by Betty's

Diner. There aren't many votes

to be had here but, surrounded by new controversy,

she needs to fire up her traditional support

from the African-American community. She and her aides are troubled

by signs the new inquiry into her But returning back late

after another long day campaigning, she and her team believe they retain

an advantage and organisation, While in office, Hillary Clinton

relied on a private e-mail account on her own server,

sending thousands of messages both The FBI said that was negligent,

but they did not press charges. Now - in a separate case

involving the husband of one of her close aides -

more of Mrs Clinton's e-mails have come to light and the FBI has

reopened its investigation. Hillary Clinton's running mate today

addressed the issue. The FBI put up this very unusual

letter, very unprecedented. They're not supposed to talk

about ongoing investigations and they're also not generally

supposed to put out politically sensitive stuff right

before an election. You know, there may

be some distractions, Some Democrats have turned

on the FBI, accusing the bureau of breaking the law by revealing

the politically sensitive information so close

to the election. It's far from clear

whether the latest FBI inquiry has changed many minds amongst

Hillary Clinton supporters, but on one thing, everybody agrees -

if the focus is on Hillary Clinton and her e-mails, then it's not

on Trump and his scandals, Donald Trump calls the finding of

650,000 e-mails 'a big bombshell'. It doesn't matter that nothing has

been proved or that the e-mails may be duplicates of those already

studied, he denounces Hillary Clinton's actions

as 'crooked and illegal'. But how do you have

that many e-mails? What do you do, sit down all day

and just keep typing? Hey, no wonder nothing gets done

in our country! It may well be that the e-mails

will not be examined before polling day, but Democrats had wanted

the election to be a referendum on Trump and his fitness to be

President. In these final days, all

the attention is on his opponent. That's taught our North America

editor who is outside Detroit. We thought we had seen everything in

this campaign and now this new latest twist.

Yes, George, it has left the Trump campaign, it has never been a

particular study of calm and serenity and as well as the raucous

list, you now have a sense of euphoria among many of his

supporters gathered for a rally that will take place shortly. The normal

rule of thumb in politics is that you want to be in the headlines, you

want to dominate the agenda. Not this campaign. Whenever Donald Trump

has been in the headlines, it was great news for Hillary Clinton. And

when Hillary Clinton has been in the headlines, it is great news for

Donald Trump. As it is at the moment. Americans are getting ready

to celebrate Halloween tonight. Well, a lot of people in the Clinton

campaign of feeling that she has been tricked while in Donald Trump

land, they are feeling that he has been given a mighty treat!

Thank you very much. It's as beautiful as

a picture postcard - trees in many parts of Britain

are only just starting It's all down to the unusual weather

- a hot September and warm October. The Bodenham Arboretum

near Kidderminster, and just Our mild autumn, no high winds

or cold snaps could mean our trees might stay looking like this,

well, for a while. It is unusual, but autumns

have been getting later. We'd normally have really good

colour well into November, but this year is spectacular

and we've had more colour, If this weather continues,

then they're going to stay here The groundwork for these dazzling

displays was laid back in spring. The heavy rains we experienced then

- coupled with above-average sunshine - meant a great

growing season for trees. Well, the leaves of trees store

chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants that's

vital for photosynthesis. As winter approaches,

the chlorophyll breaks down, the pigment goes and other

coloured chemicals takeover. And so you have the yellows,

reds and gold. Well, that's the science lesson

over. For now, let's just

enjoy the picture. It has been beautiful, but don't get

used to it. All set to change, we have seen

atmospheric weather pictures but it has been an amazing start to

Halloween with a foggy morning first thing. Quite a lot of low cloud and

Fog as depicted by this picture, across parts of Lincolnshire. But

once the fog lifted, what a difference! Lovely spells of

sunshine and warmth, the warmest Halloween day across West Wales on

record. But across the far North, we saw a cooler and fresher feel with a

lot of cloud because of this weather front. It continues to head South.

Behind it, fresh weather. To the South of that, we will continue to

see quite a lot of fog forming. That is worth bearing in mind if you are

out and about on the roads early. Patchy but dense fog in places and

favoured spots across the M4 corridor, through South Wales,

towards the London area. That is worth bearing in mind first thing in

the morning. And unlike today, it will lift today, but only the low

cloud. It is a great and cool day with the weather front bringing some

rain. Behind it, brighter conditions to the North and West with decent

sunshine. But look at the feel of things. 7-12d, maybe 15 in the

south-west. That is a shock to the system. Clear skies by Dave reads

the clear skies overnight and a widespread frost. The first

significant frost across the country this winter. It will start with blue

sky and sunshine, more of a breeze to the East, but further

West, it will feel noticeably fresher.
