This is BBC World News Today with me, Chris Rogers. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Mission to Mars - scientists send a space probe to the Red Planet. | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
But they're still waiting to hear whether it's touched | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
This was the scene at mission control as the mothership went | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
into orbit around the planet - but a tiny robot probe dispatched | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
to the surface has yet to make contact. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump meet in Las Vegas in just a few | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
hours' time for their third and final presidential TV debate. | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
Thousands of Iraqi refugees from around Mosul on the move. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
As the fight to retake the city intensifies, we'll have a report | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
We've been coming under heavy fire driving up this road. We had to | :00:46. | :01:00. | |
reverse rapidly. The vehicle got stuck. | :01:01. | :01:01. | |
We talk to the man who's letter to the terrorists moved | :01:02. | :01:10. | |
and he coped with grief by writing more. | :01:11. | :01:23. | |
Scientist believe they have successfully put a new satellite | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
into orbit around Mars, and soon they'll learn | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
whether they've also landed a small craft on the planet's surface. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
In a joint mission with Russia, the European Space Agency is testing | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
out a new landing system ahead of a bigger venture in four years' | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
The probe has travelled more than 300 million miles on a journey | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
When it entered Mars' atmosphere, it was travelling | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
That's nearly 21,000 kilometres an hour. | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
Our Science Editor, David Shukman, filed this report | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
Nervous times in mission control. Flight engineers wondering why the | :02:08. | :02:18. | |
signal from their spacecraft suddenly stopped a minute before | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
landing. We expected it to continue. Clearly, it did not stop what they | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
had managed to get an orbiting spacecraft to so-called Mars, but | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
the lander is key. The tantalising question is whether the great | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
canyons and craters scarring the surface of Mars might not be as | :02:39. | :02:39. | |
barren as they look. So this mission is testing new ways | :02:40. | :02:40. | |
of getting there. An animation shows how the lander | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
is ejected from an orbiter. A heat shield to cope | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
with the Martian atmosphere. The parachute deploying | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
at just the right time, With the final drop | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
onto the surface. This is a replica of the lander, | :02:55. | :03:04. | |
it's about the same size. It looks like something out | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
of Doctor Who, but it is designed to pave the way to a new | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
understanding of Mars. A lot can be learned by orbiting | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
Mars. But the key to the search | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
for life is landing. It's the door to future exploration, | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
if the door to getting people And if you want to search for signs | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
of life and find them physically, you've got to get down | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
to the surface and do it. The plan is to follow today's | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
mission with a robotic rover It's possible there used to be life | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
on Mars and maybe there still is. All this is very poignant | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
for British science. Remember the Beagle II | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
spacecraft and its charismatic His mission to Mars | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
in 2003 didn't work. He died two years ago, | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
but his legacy lives on. For us, I think we've got a great | :04:02. | :04:14. | |
sense of pride that actually the legacy dad left behind is not | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
necessarily Beagle 2-macro Amir instruments and technology, but the | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
fact that he was so inspirational to the people currently involved in | :04:25. | :04:25. | |
these missions. The big puzzle is whether we are | :04:26. | :04:26. | |
alone in the universe. And each mission to Mars takes us | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
closer to the answer. Our Science Correspondent | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
Pallab Ghosh joins us now Celebrations, but not quite out of | :04:34. | :04:48. | |
the woods yet? Not out of the woods because we don't know what's | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
happened to the lander. I have to say at the moment it's not looking | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
good for a successful landing. We've had 2-macro separate methods to try | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
and confirm that it landed safely. Neither have confirmed that. Were | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
expecting another tranche of data in about an hour's time. We'll have a | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
clearer idea of what happened. With me to talk through what might or | :05:11. | :05:20. | |
might not happened is a scientist. Can you tell me where we are with | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
the lander? We lost transmission about a minute before it landed. Did | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
it landed successfully, or did it crash land? As you said, we don't | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
know yet precisely. What happened was that when the lander enters the | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
atmosphere, it sends out a signal which was monitored by a radio Ray | :05:42. | :05:51. | |
in India. The signal was weak. This was an experimental test to see | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
whether we can do that. That indeed was where we lost the transition at | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
some point. It was unclear whether it was just a weak signal. We now | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
have had the same signal transmitted to us by our Mars express orbiter | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
and the data is inconclusive. So we just don't know. We will know when | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
we have contact with another American spacecraft. We are seeing | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
celebrations of the successful insertion of the orbiter. But you're | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
saying that the results from the Mars express orbiter, the stronger | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
signal, was inconclusive. What do you mean by that? The signal, you | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
have certain expectations of what you want to see. But we do this is | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
the first time. We may simply not be understanding the data properly and | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
that's why we really have too wait of the signal by the American | :06:44. | :06:52. | |
orbiter. You're hoping that you'll even find out what it landed | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
successfully. If it hasn't, it really isn't looking good? If we | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
don't get a signal from the lander then the lander is not functioning | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
properly. But let's be positive, we still have some time and also the | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
orbiter works apparently very nicely. Thank you very much. So | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
still an anxious wait. We'll have more for you in an hour or so. In | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
the meantime, everyone here is firmly crossing their fingers. Back | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
to use. So are we. We want to report some good news in an hour. Thank you | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
for that. If the first two were anything to go | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
by, this last US presidential debate between Donald Trump | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
and Hillary Clinton will see yet With three weeks to go, | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
the final head to head encounter in Las Vegas in a few hours' time | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
is an opportunity for Donald Trump to reverse the recent losses | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
he's had in the polls. The BBC poll of polls currently | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
gives Hillary Clinton Here's our North America | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
Editor, Jon Sopel. This is a city where you can win big | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
and invariably, lose even bigger. Most things that Donald Trump has | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
touched have turned to gold. But in this presidential race, | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
he has started to fall behind. And whisper it quietly, | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
he might end up the loser. So tonight, in the final debate, | :08:12. | :08:20. | |
Donald Trump like never Does he gamble on a scorched earth | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
policy in an attempt to drag Or does he try to look presidential, | :08:26. | :08:36. | |
calm and measured, and put his chips Hi, my name is Maria, | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
I'm a volunteer at the Nevada And this is where Hillary Clinton | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
is better resourced I was calling to see | :08:46. | :08:55. | |
if we still have your support More field offices, more staff, | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
and in South Nevada alone, they have registered more | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
than 150,000 more Democratic voters than the Trump | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
campaign have Republicans. The next three weeks | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
will yield more conversations with voters around the country, | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
more knocking on doors, more phone calls, more volunteers | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
getting out the vote. And really the excitement | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
of the electorate, who are continuing to tune in more | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
and more every day. This is one of Donald Trump's | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
only offices in Nevada. His campaign team never | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
returned our calls. But we caught up with his supporters | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
downtown as they waited They may not have infrastructure, | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
but they have a mass Every time I've gone | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
to any type of rally, They're showing up because | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
there is a round game. He is not getting a fair shake, | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
and that is why I'm here. He is going to change our country, | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
he is going to do really Moments after that, Donald Trump's | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
convoy swept into the hotel. He needs a small miracle tonight | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
to turn things round. But Nevada is full of people | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
convinced their luck We can all have a lot of fun with | :10:03. | :10:22. | |
the cliches around it being held in Las Vegas, the place where people | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
gamble. We heard a reporter say there is big winners and big losers. | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
But actually, this is really serious. Mr Trump has really got to | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
try and turn things around night. Yes, he really does. This is his | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
last chance to try to turn around his campaign. His last opportunity | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
to be on a national stage speaking to millions of voters across the | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
country. Not just those of his supporters who show up at his | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
rallies, but millions of Americans who will be tuning into this debate | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
tonight. We don't expect that the number of people tuning in will be | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
as high as in the first debate, which set a record with 84 million | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
people. But still there is a lot at stake. And for Hillary Clinton, this | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
is an opportunity to try to close the deal. Donald Trump has had a | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
rough ten days, but she has also had to battle back against all these | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
e-mails that are coming out. E-mails that were hacked from her campaign | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
manager's account that shows some of the inner workings of the campaign. | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
If she weren't running against someone like Donald Trump, who has | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
had his own troubles, she would be having a harder time as well in this | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
portion of the election cycle. But she is, on average, nine points | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
ahead in most polls. She is crucially ahead in battle ground | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
states, even making inroads in traditionally Republican states like | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
Arizona. For her tonight it is about closing the deal and putting forward | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
a positive vision, not just telling people not to vote for Trump. | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
Briefly, how much should we read into these polls? We know there are | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
undecided voters. We also know there are possibly silent Trump voters as | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
well he won't want to admit that they are putting the Donald Trump. | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
That is the big unknown. Of course, the Clinton campaign will be looking | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
closely at that. Donald Trump says that he has a lot of enthusiasm on | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
his site. That he will bring out a lot of new voters to the polls as | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
well. But his allegations that the system is rigged, that the election | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
is rigged, is also risking to depress voter turnout which is a | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
problem for both candidates. Kim, you are in for an interesting night | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
tonight. Much more from youth rugby next two hours no doubt in Las | :12:42. | :12:42. | |
Vegas. -- much more from you throughout the | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
next 2-macro hours. You can see the third Presidential | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
debate live from Las Vegas There's also plenty of campaign | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
analysis on our website. One article looks at whether a US | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
election could be rigged Thousands have escaped the city | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
and surrounding area, since a major Iraqi offensive | :13:04. | :13:12. | |
against so called Islamic State militants got under way | :13:13. | :13:14. | |
three days ago. And the numbers are only | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
going to increase - with the UN preparing for, | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
what they fear could be the biggest man-made humanitarian | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
crisis in recent times Our correspondent Jonathan Beale has | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
been with an Iraqi rapid reaction unit and sent this report | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
from near the town of Qayyarah. There was a brief pause and a chance | :13:27. | :13:37. | |
to regroup before the Iraqi army Around 70 villages still have | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
to be cleared before We travelled with General Abbas | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
as he prepared to advance. So-called Islamic State or Daesh | :13:44. | :13:56. | |
fighters, had already been spotted. I'm going to put my troops | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
to the left side After that the coalition forces | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
will attack these guys Our goal is to let | :14:03. | :14:12. | |
the citizens be safe. Three suicide truck bombs | :14:13. | :14:22. | |
were approaching at speed. They put their foot down, | :14:23. | :14:44. | |
taking evasive manoeuvres. Two attackers never | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
reached their target. The Iraqi army finished off | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
the third. Are you worried about | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
truck bombs, the threat I will be ready, | :14:58. | :15:09. | |
because they are my men. Reinforcements arrived with reports | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
of more Islamic State While some of them were killed, | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
most managed to escape. Back on the move, but it wasn't long | :15:21. | :15:41. | |
before we were halted in our tracks. There were repeated | :15:42. | :15:52. | |
harrying attacks. In one afternoon, they had barely | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
moved forward a mile. And the fight is expected to be much | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
tougher in Mosul, As we hastily pulled back, | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
our Humvee crashed. We have been coming under heavy | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
fire, we have been travelling up The vehicle got stuck and we had | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
to come running back Our stranded Humvee and a trail | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
of destruction suggests this Our correspondent Richard Galpin | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
is in the Iraqi army's airbase in Qayarrah itself - | :16:22. | :16:33. | |
south of of Mosul. He explained that the Iraqi army is | :16:34. | :16:48. | |
making slow but steady progress. What we know is that the Iraqi army, | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
this is the operations command here at this base. Obviously a lot of | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
troops around here and a lot of equipment, although most have gone | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
up north from the road towards Mosul. We know that the Iraqi army | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
had been pushing this offensive. They've been trying to move further | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
up those roads towards the city. Certainly one of my colleagues was | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
with one Iraqi army unit there. They came under pretty fierce fire. The | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
Islamic State militants were using mortars and rocket as well as | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
machine guns. And there was panic at one stage when the soldiers believed | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
that three vehicles which have suddenly appeared from a village | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
nearby were driving toward them. They assumed that they were suicide | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
bombers and panicked and started to run away. Obviously, that will be of | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
concern for the Iraqi command if that kind of incident is repeated. | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
What the Iraqi army is saying officially is that they are making | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
slow, steady progress up the road towards most. Right let's have a | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
look at some other news. The UK Government has ruled out | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
using dental checks to verify the age of child migrants | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
arriving from Calais. There is concern that some of those | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
entering Britain are adults. A call from the conservative British | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
politician David Davies to carry our dental checks | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
to establish their age had been Indonesia's President | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
says his government's new policy of chemically castrating paedophiles | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
could "wipe out" sex crimes. Speaking exclusively to the BBC, | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
Joko Widodo said he respected human rights, but there could be no | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
compromise when it came In the first case of its kind | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
at the International Criminal Court, the former Congolese Vice President | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
Jean-Pierre Bemba has been found guilty of bribing witnesses | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
at his war crimes trial. Judges ruled that Mr Bemba and four | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
of his aides offered money and other inducements to fourteen witnesses | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
and coached them in what to say In Hong Kong pro-Beijing politicians | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
blocked the swearing in of two new lawmakers who want a split | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
from China, the latest incident in an increasingly | :18:55. | :18:56. | |
divided parliament. It comes as fears grow | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
in the semi-autonomous city that Danny Vincent reports - | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
and just a warning, there is some Another week, another Hong Kong | :19:03. | :19:21. | |
swearing in ceremony. Last week, three lawmakers both to the | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
government were rejected. Today was their second chance to pledge their | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
allegiance. -- lawmakers' oath is. Today, instead, chaos ensued. This | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
time, a mass walk-out triggering the end of the session. Inside, a mini | :19:37. | :19:38. | |
parliament was paralysed. The one who should apologise to the | :19:39. | :19:57. | |
whole of Hong Kong should be the pro-Beijing campus. Because they're | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
the ones who are be -- who are betraying Hong Kong. Last week, the | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
activists used the swearing in ceremony at the state-run protests. | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
Today, a protest against the would-be lawmakers. TRANSLATION: | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
They can't be our legislators because they are the running dogs of | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
Japan. We are China. The way they called China is an insult to China | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
and the people living in Hong Kong. It is an insult to the 1.3 billion | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
Hong Kong people. Hong Kong is moving into new political territory. | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
Some want more independence from the Beijing government. Others see | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
China's rise as an opportunity for Hong Kong. They really have gone too | :20:46. | :20:53. | |
far. They owe us an apology. I think they provoke a lot of Hong Kong | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
people and also they are simply provoking Chinese people. They do | :21:01. | :21:09. | |
owe us an apology. Fournel, Hong Kong is in the middle of a political | :21:10. | :21:14. | |

This week, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
Patriarch Kirill, travelled to the UK to mark the anniversary. | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
He is a controversial figure and a strong supporter | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
of President Putin -calling his tenure a "miracle of god". | :21:33. | :21:34. | |
While in the UK, he'll be meeting Queen Elizabeth. | :21:35. | :22:53. | |
It's almost a year since the world watched in horror | :22:54. | :22:55. | |
In the aftermath, the words of one man seemed to capture | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
His wife, Helene, died in the Bataclan theatre. | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
His letter, addressed to the attackers, titled | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
You Will Not Have My Hate was viewed by tens | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
He discussed his new book and the impact of that letter | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
with our Europe Correspondent - Damian Grammaticas. | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
On Friday night you stole away the life of an exceptional being. | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
The love of my life, the mother of my son. | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
I do not know who you are and I don't want to know. | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
Today, Antoine Leiris remains defiant, dignified, | :23:36. | :23:45. | |
For me it is the only way to not fall in craziness. | :23:46. | :23:53. | |

on my door and says hey, I'm there, and simple, | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
You can go with me, it will be easier for you. | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
But I just let her out of our house and yes, I think it was | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
How he dealt with the loss of his wife Helene at the Bataclan. | :24:19. | :24:34. | |
When you close a dead person's eyes, you give them back a little | :24:35. | :24:37. | |

It was like the walls of my room when I was alone were | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
And I was like suffocating, but writing was an open door | :24:55. | :25:04. | |

A way to keep alive his connection with his wife. | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
He buried Helene here in Montmartre and while he bears no hatred | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
towards her killers, there is one thing Antoine has | :25:17. | :25:18. | |

That's all from the programme. Next, the weather. | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
