Italy is hit by its most violent earthquake in almost 40 years.

Buildings have collapsed but there are no reports of deaths.

As large numbers of people prepare to spend the night outside.

The tremor causes fresh damage in Amatrice, where nearly 300 people

After weeks of uncertainty, the European Union and Canada

finally sign that landmark trade deal.

The alternative to free trade is isolationism and protectionism. A

return to nationalism, and as a result, the threat of violent

conflict. On the campaign trail,

Hillary Clinton demands to know why the FBI launched a fresh

investigation into her emails, And we'll bring you what happened

when a young man sneaked For the fourth time in three months,

a major earthquake has This one is the most powerful

the country has seen It struck near to the region

where nearly 300 people The 6.6 earthquake happened

northeast of the capital Rome. Striking near to the town of Norcia

in the south east of the country. Whese are the pictures coming out

of the affected area - this is the town of Talentino -

and as you can see many buildings It appears at this early stage

that nobody has died. Emergency teams are trying

to reach people trapped Our correspondent James Reynolds

has been to Norcia At 7:40 this morning central

Italy had its fourth The Church of St Benedict

in the nearby town of Norcia In this region, you need to know how

to get away quickly. In the hours after this morning's

quake, the ground continued to move. There was just an

after-shock just now. Some stones from this ancient

entranceway fell down. You can see there is still a sense

from people here that the earthquakes, the after-shocks,

have not yet finished. That this is, at the moment,

not a safe place for people to live. You just saw what happened,

the after-shock. We're trying to find our things,

and then we'll go. For now, a park bench may be

the safest place. Since the first quake in August,

many have decided to stay outside. Stefano Boldrini and his

eight-year-old daughter, I asked if they would

remain in Norcia. There is no more school,

or church, or police station. Italian officials in Norcia have set

up an emergency headquarters. The after-shocks have now become

so common that no one Here, the computer equipment shakes,

but registration carries on. And this town will help its dazed

residents move from No-one is sure when the next

quake will come. So why is this region experiencing

so many earthquakes? Well, to answer that question, I've

been speaking to Dr Carmine Galasso. He is an Italian himself and

lecturer in Earthquake Engineering. He spoke to me in the studio

earlier. Well, it's definitely, this one,

today's one, is the largest. The ones that started

on the 24th of August. With a 6.2 magnitude that

completely destroyed Amatrice. So there was one 5 days ago,

on the 26th of October, a 6.1, This one was 6.6,

the largest in this sequence. For sure, they are related

to each other. There is a relationship but it's

still very difficult to understand. We would conventionally say

that the largest one is a main shaft We would conventionally say

that the largest one is a main shock Until yesterday, until the 26th,

this was a sequence of after-shocks, but now with today's event,

it's definitely a new one. What can happen is because of one

event, there is what we call in our field stress transfer,

a transfer of energy And then, for example this recent

event, today's event, is probably generated by the rupture

of another fault segment. It's related to the previous one,

but it broke a new fault segment That suggests there are more

earthquakes that are going to happen What is the advice for

people living there? Well, definitely there will be

after-shocks for days, probably for weeks, probably

for months, because usually given such a big

main shock there will definitely We expect the event

in the following days will be of lower magnitude but we cannot say

with certainty, so it's always We can say there is a very low

probability of larger magnitude events, but definitely there will be

a series of after-shocks So the good thing is that

after the events on the 26th, people evacuated, so that's why

there were no casualties today. So some people are not living

in buildings that are already strongly damaged by the previous

events in the last few days. Reconstruction will take some time

and we are still in the full What's your take on the

buildings in these areas? They are beautiful and historical,

but they also can't just be torn Italy has a very advanced

state-of-the-art building code, but this applies

to the new buildings. As you are saying, in this

area they are mainly historical buildings,

and therefore they have been built several hundred years ago

without consideration What you can do are new techniques,

for example composite materials that have traditionally been used

in aerospace or They can now be used in civil

engineering for buildings. You can literally do wrapping

of columns with carbon fibre, for example, which is very

advanced, very strong It's always difficult to say,

especially for historical buildings when you also want be

careful not to be invasive, because you want to keep the beauty

of the buildings that are particularly important

for tourism, and its main driver The EU and Canada have

signed their delayed free trade deal, held up last week

because of objections The pact will remove 99% of tariffs

and is expected to generate up Damian Grammaticas reports from

Brussels. As the UK prepares to leave,

Canada has arrived. Look at the force in the hug,

a leader who is embracing the EU. You'd never have thought trade

could be so emotional. "Difficult things are

difficult, but we made it". So, are there any

implications for Brexit? Does this set the standards

for a Brexit deal? I don't see any relation

between what we are signing today Outside the summit venue today,

protesters determined, even at this stage, to stop

the EU-Canada agreement. They fear it gives big business too

much power - public feeling that And that's despite the fact EU

leaders described it as the least controversial imaginable,

one that should bring economic growth and jobs to benefit

half a billion people. Justin Trudeau certainly

seemed pleased. That leadership that we were able

to show is not just something that will reassure our own citizens,

but should be an example to the world of how we can move

forward on trade deals that do But even for the best of friends,

this took patience to achieve. That is why it so obviously

means so much to them. The biggest takeaway for Brexit

from this deal, even with good will on all sides,

it took seven years for the EU Damian Grammaticas,

BBC News, Brussels. Does this deal between the EU and

Canada give hope to the UK after it leaves the EU?

Earlier I spoke with Sir Andrew Cahn, who used to head UK

Hopeful signs from the agreement of this deal, firstly that the EU

actually can get its act together and agree something.

It has taken seven years, and it's still not finally finalised.

The national parliaments have to approve it.

But what we have seen is that the EU, at the end of the

The second thing is that the EU wants liberalising deals and that's

something which is mutually beneficial that can be agreed.

Those are the hopeful signs, but do remember that an EU-UK deal

would be enormously more concentrated than this EU- Canada

And it's not just about liberalising, it's about reducing

free trade and free movement and so on.

Canada started from a position of saying, let's liberalise.

The UK is starting from a position of saying, we want to introduce

new limits, new controls, new regulations.

We don't want the freedoms we currently have, we want fewer.

respond to Britain's position that it wants to control freedom

How do you think the EU will respond to that,

respond to Britain's position that it wants to control freedom

of movement whilst having tariff free access to the EU market?

Well, I'm not sure that tariffs are going to be

Tariffs are pretty low all the way round.

Much more are things like mutual recognition of qualifications.

Services, service provision, financial services, the protections

for the City of London and the ability of the City

of London to trade and provide banking services in Europe.

Those are the sorts of things we are going to be talking about.

I think the European side, at least initially, is going to say,

well if you don't want free movement of our people, if you don't

want to be a member of the club, we want to give you a less good deal

They are bound to say that, they have to say that.

And what about the fact that there was goodwill on both

sides when it came to the EU and Canada but it

This isn't going to be a short process, is it, for Britain?

Well, absolutely, it's going to take a long time.

Those people who say we can do a free-trade agreement

between the UK and the EU in just a few months or even

within two years, I think are overoptimistic, let's say.

The Canada deal took seven years and it's still not finalised.

It will be but still hasn't been completely finalised.

I think if we can do a deal, a permanent free-trade arrangement

between the EU and the UK in three or four years,

So we are going to have to have transitional arrangements

of the two-year period once the Article 50

We are going to have to have some arrangement

which says, let's continue for a while until we

Both the Clinton and Trump camps have issued new claims

about the FBI's investigation into emails which might be linked

The Democrats say the timing of the announcement

needs to be explained - while the Republicans

say it shows how Mrs Clinton is a risky choice.

Our Washington Correspondent Laura Bicker has the latest.

Hillary Clinton is getting ready for a fight.

This race was always going to be close, but after the FBI announced

a new inquiry into her e-mails, the polls appear to be tightening.

He was a registered Republican and many Democrats say he has broken

It's extremely puzzling, why would you break

Why would you release information that is so incomplete

when you haven't even seen the material yourself,

Why would you talk about an ongoing investigation?

Donald Trump might have a reason to look cheerful in church today.

It looked like his own controversies might sink his campaign

but now his rival's problems dominate the agenda.

And his team have accused Mrs Clinton of playing
