Tonight at Ten: Donald Trump loses the support of another key

Republican following the latest debate against Hillary Clinton.

From the outset there was outright hostility,

with Mr Trump under pressure after his remarks about groping

If you look at Bill Clinton, far worse.

But Hillary Clinton avoided discussing her husband's past

and directly questioned Mr Trump's suitability as a

Republican Paul Ryan, has announced he's no

Coming up in Sportsday later in the hour in BBC News, we will have

France's trip to face Netherlands in Amsterdam.

Donald Trump's campaign for the White House has been dealt

a heavy blow with the news that the most senior elected

Republican in the US has announced he will no longer support

Paul Ryan, the speaker of the House of Representatives,

said his priority from now on is to protect his party's

The announcement followed the second televised debate between Mr Trump

and his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.

It was, as predicted, an exceptionally fiery exchange,

as our North America editor Jon Sopel reports.

They walked out smiling, but as they drew closer,

the awkwardness and tension were evident.

And very quickly it was onto the now-infamous comments from Trump

Hillary Clinton sought to broaden the attack on his

He has said that the video doesn't represent who he is,

but I think it's clear to anyone who heard it that it represents

But it's not only women and it's not only this video that raises

questions about his fitness to be our president,

because he has also targeted immigrants, African-Americans,

Latinos, people with disabilities, POWs, Muslims, and so many others.

And this is where it got nasty and dirty.

Donald Trump chose attack as the best form of defence.

He brought with him women who'd previously claimed

assaulted by Bill Clinton, and Mr Trump didn't hold back.

If you look at Bill Clinton - far worse.

There's never been anybody in the history of politics in this

nation that's been so abusive to women.

Hillary Clinton attacked those same women, and attacked them viciously.

When I hear something like that, I am reminded of what my friend,

Throughout the debate, Donald Trump moved nervously around the stage.

Sometimes as though he was stalking her, often just lurking

in the background as an intimidating presence.

His most effective attack was over her use of private e-mail server,

and then this extraordinary statement...

If I win, I am going to instruct my Attorney-General to get

a special prosecutor to look into your situation.

It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump

is not in charge of the law in our country.

And then the most surreal end to this most poisonous debate.

Would either of you name one positive thing that

His children are incredibly able and devoted,

and I think that says a lot about Donald.

I will say this about Hillary - she doesn't quit.

This was a brutal and savage 90 minutes.

Donald Trump had to prove that he could move beyond the sex

scandal tape that has so rocked the Republican party.

There was a tepid handshake at the end, but there's no love lost

between the two of them, and no easing of the animosity

either between Mr Trump and the deeply unhappy

Jon Sopel, BBC News, St Louis, Missouri.

So, where does last night's debate leave the prospects

for both candidates, with under a month

The latest BBC poll of polls reflecting opinion before last

night's debate suggested 48% of US voters backed Hillary Clinton

compared to 44% who favoured Donald Trump.

Both candidates are focussing attention on around ten swing

states, stretching from Nevada in the west to Florida

There are also key states which candidates must retain.

Arizona is one - Donald Trump needs to keep it in Republican hands

So our correspondent James Cook went to speak to voters in Arizona

In more than 60 years, arid Arizona has voted for a Democratic president

only once, when Bill Clinton won in 1996. If his wife can repeat the

feat, it will be thanks to the scorched earth approach to politics,

but the tycoon's tough talk went down well. These people loved seeing

him lay into Hillary Clinton. He may have boasted about sexual assault,

but they say that she is worse. She has, after Bill Clinton's victims so

she cannot stand on a pro-woman leg when she has been quite anti-woman.

If you're talking about what his words are about a woman versus what

Hillary Clinton and her husband have done to women, that is what is

important. I believe that after tonight 's performance in particular

that he should probably gain support, and I still have complete

confidence in him. But there is a big problem. This dry and dusty

state is increasingly diverse and increasingly democratic. It feels

like a blue Island in sea. And the Democrats at this classic car rally

are hopeful. I'm not a fortune teller, I teller, I wish I was but I

have a good feeling about it because we have a lot more people moving

into the state. What do you think of Donald Trump? For real? I'm ashamed

he is actually the Republican nominee and I really hope he steps

down. I won't vote for him. Why not? He's against Hispanic people in the

United States. This family has been grilling here for more than two

decades, in that time Arizona's Spanish-speaking population has shot

up. If Latino turnout rises, Donald Trump could be badly burned. It

doesn't help Mr Trump that he has been deserted by party leaders, with

neither of the state's Republican Senators backing him. Donald Trump's

core supporters seem pleased with his performance but the Republican

Party in Arizona and across the United States remains bitterly

divided. Concerns about both the messenger and the message, and with

less than one wants to go, but can only be good news for Hillary

Clinton. Our North America editor

Jon Sopel is in St Louis. We mentioned Speaker Paul Ryan and

his decision, how significant do you think that will turn out to be?

Very. Paul Ryan is the most senior elected Republican in the country.

He was furious at the weekend over Donald Trump's comments from a

decade ago and today he has effectively cut him adrift and the

leadership has done that too. That's not just saying we are not going to

support you, there are logistical and financial consequences. They

will move money into Senate and Congress races because they want to

keep control of the Senedd. The latest poll today shows Hillary

Clinton 11 points ahead. The last time that happened was in 1996, as

we were hearing in the report when Clinton won Arizona. They abandoned

Bob Dole and left in the fund for himself. Bob Dole took it quietly,

it is far from clear if Donald Trump will take it lying down. Thank you.

The widow of a lecturer who was stabbed to death in north

London by a man who was mentally ill has called for concrete changes

in legislation to prevent such killings in the future.

Dr Jeroen Ensink, who was 41, was attacked last December

as he went to post letters announcing the birth

Femi Nendap, a Nigerian student, had arrested months earlier

for wielding a knife in public and assaulting a police officer

but the charges against him had been dropped just

Our correspondent Michael Buchanan reports.

I never thought I could love the way I loved him.

Jeroen Ensink was an acclaimed engineer, an expert in sanitation

Last December, he left his flat to post some cards announcing

A daughter, Fleur, had been born 11 days earlier.

On the doorstep of his flat, he was killed, stabbed repeatedly

I opened the door and there were three

Obviously, I had no idea what had happened, but I knew.

This is Jeroen's killer - Femi Nandap, a 23-year-old

Nigerian student with severe mental health problems.

He admitted manslaughter by diminished responsibility.

At his sentencing hearing today, the court heard Nandap was suffering

from psychosis brought on by cannabis use and referred

to himself as the Black Messiah at the time of the stabbing,

and in May last year he had been arrested charged with

wielding a knife in public and attacking a police officer.

In October he stopped taking his anti-psychotic drugs.

In December, the charges against him were dropped,

just six days before he killed Dr Ensink.

If a person with a history of mental illness is found wandering

about with a knife and attacks a police officer, that person must

be referred to a secure unit for assessment and treatment,

Prosecutors say today it was a mistake to drop the charges

against Femi Nandap, but maintained the decision

would not have saved Jeroen Ensink's life.

The African studies student has now been sent to a high security

The utterly random nature of Jeroen Ensink's killing has

forced the family to return back to the Netherlands.

As the judge said in court today, there is a dreadful irony here,

that a man who devoted his life to helping people he'd never

known or met was killed by a complete stranger.

Mental health patients kill around 60 people a year, a figure that has

been broadly stable in recent years. But that is of little

comfort to this family. I think it was in March

when it was the first time that I actually realised

he isn't coming back. It's final, he's never

ever coming back. The judge said that,

had Jeroen Ensink lived, his work could have improved

the lives of millions. The BBC has learned that

Saudi Arabia has privately accepted that one of its own fighter jets

bombed a funeral in the Yemeni At least 140 people were killed,

most of them civilians, and more than 500 injured in one

of the worst atrocities Saudi Arabia is also said to have

agreed to a British request to participate in the investigation

into the attack. Police in Germany say they believe

a Syrian refugee who was arrested this morning was very close

to completing preparations Jaber al-Bakr was found in Leipzig

where explosives were discovered. Officers think he'd been in contact

with so-called Islamic State. A growing number of MPs are calling

for a parliamentary vote on the Government's negotiating

position for leaving The former Labour leader,

Ed Miliband, said it was essential that parliament be given a say,

given the momentous nature But Downing Street has

rejected the idea of a vote on the negotiation, while hinting

that parliament could be given an opportunity to approve the final

Brexit deal. Our political editor

Laura Kuenssberg has the latest. This report contains flashing

images. "I apologise for the rain",

says the Danish Prime Minister. And making polite conversation

comes with the job. Face time with foreign leaders

she needs to get onside. The UK's leaving the EU,

but we're not turning our But no new clues on how

she'll lead us out. And at home, demands are stirring

from MPs for a say on the kind

of bargain the Government will pursue, from familiar faces

and party after party. On the basis of what constitutional

principle does he believe that the Prime Minister can now

arrogate to herself the exclusive right to interpret what Brexit means

and impose it upon the country rather than protect

the rightful role of scrutiny Where is the Government's mandate

for its negotiations, either from this

House or the country? It would be wholly unacceptable

for the British public to find out what the UK's position in those

negotiations is from our We may be no clearer on whether this

is a soft Brexit or a hard Brexit. Despite accusations even from some

Tories that it's undemocratic, We will reject any attempt to undo

the referendum result, any attempt to hold up the process

unduly, or any attempt to keep Britain

in the EU by the back door by those who didn't like the answer

they were given on June 23rd. It seems that the Government wants

to draw up negotiating terms and reach a deal without any

parliamentary approval. That is not making

Parliament sovereign. The Prime Minister's

not budging for now, reluctant to give way or to shed

more light on her strategy. Sources have told me a green paper,

a rough draft of the Government's ideas for Brexit, was planned,

but has now been junked. Downing Street denies it,

but there's no question that there's a growing thirst

for more information. However much Theresa May

presses the flesh, leaving the EU won't be easy,

at home or away. Laura Kuenssberg, BBC

News, Westminster. The British Retail Consortium has

urged the Government to put consumers first during Brexit

by protecting against a rise in tariffs which would make imports

more expensive and drive up prices There is also set to be a 5p

increase in the price of a litre of petrol and diesel

by the end of this month, due to the falling pound

and the rise in oil prices. Our business editor Simon Jack

reports from Merseyside. Retailers presented their

post-Brexit stall today. As the biggest importer of goods

in the UK, the sector would be hard But here in Birkenhead

in Merseyside, most traders and shoppers were unconvinced

about the threat. We buy a lot of flowers,

so if they want to put tariffs on our cars,

we'll put tariffs on their flowers. They're going to want to do

the deals as much as we do. It definitely wasn't made obvious

to the public that the prices of daily things or gifts etc

would go up. But I think it should have been

something everyone should have

considered, definitely. Once outside, the UK might have

to fall back on its membership of the World Trade Organisation,

which comes with its own rule book. Currently, meat moves between the EU

and the UK tariff-free. WTO rules could impose

tariffs of up to 40%. Chilean wine flows in

with no tariffs. But clothes from India arrive

in the EU with 12% already added. Under special rules for developing

countries, we could opt to do

a deal reducing that. First choice, of course,

would be new trade deals, both with the EU and

the rest of the world. But experts warn that that's easier

said than done, and takes time. The Government is in

a difficult position. Certainly with trade,

it's going to be quite They may have alternative poly

perception is available to them, They may have alternative policy

options available to them, but on trade, they are going to have

to get on top of it as quickly as they can, hire good international

trade negotiators and fight to get It's too soon to know exactly what,

if any, tariffs will be imposed on imports coming

into places like Liverpool. The WTO rules are not

the Government's preferred option, but they are of course

a possibility. shoppers may have to get

used to higher prices, if only because of the fall

in the value of the pound, which makes imports coming

here from the US and Europe And that gives rise

to another cloud. Petrol retailers warn today that

fuel priced in dollars could see an imminent rise of 5p a litre,

pushing transport costs up Deal or no deal, retailers

and consumers Simon Jack, BBC News,

Merseyside. It was one of the bloodiest days

in British industrial history. In 1984, during the miners' strike,

thousands of police officers clashed with miners in the village

of Orgreave in South Yorkshire. Now a former policeman has told

the BBC that officers were briefed to use "as much

force as possible". The Government is

considering a review Dan Johnson has this

exclusive report. It was the ugliest moment

in a fractious year. At stake - for the miners,

their industry, their jobs. For the Government, a threat to law

and order Now, 32 years on, for the first

time, a claim that officers

were ordered to use violence. This former constable was amongst

the ranks, He wants to remain anonymous

to protect his family, but he's willing to give evidence

if there is an inquiry. They just emphasised the fact

that they wanted to make sure that if there was any trouble at all,

that we needed to stamp it out straight away, and to use

as much force as possible. Well, certainly if they caused

any sort of disorder. I basically thought they had given

us licence to do what we want, This is the video the police

recorded, picking up a senior

officer's instruction to use force. No head, bodies only -

an order that didn't reach everyone. These trucks were the miners'

target. Lines of police made sure

they could get through. The violence went both ways,

no doubt, and some feel that the miners gave

as good as they got. They think that it was their right

to use violence to stop

people from going to work. It wasn't.

It's clear. The problem for them

is that they lost their battle, a violent battle, to overthrow

the rule of law. Who was to blame for the stand-off

erupting into a running battle, and did the police

use excessive force? Stefan Wysocki was amongst 95

miners arrested, They bounced me on the riot

shields, busted my face. The shields opened,

and it was a free for all. They knocked ten bells

of crap out of me. It's not just brutality

that the police stand accused of. Many of the miners were

charged with riot. That is a serious offence

and could have meant To prove it, the police needed

convincing evidence. But there are questions

about the way In their statement, many officers

used the same phrases Under cross-examination,

one policeman said there were a number of officers

from the serious crime squad who dictated the first

bit of this statement. Those detectives were following

the chief constable's orders that charges of unlawful assembly

and riot should be preferred But the case collapsed,

and the miners were cleared. We have the names of the five

serious crime squad detectives. When we approached them,

two didn't respond. The others denied any wrongdoing

over the statements. South Yorkshire Police says

the force recognises the impact of Orgreave's unanswered questions

and will co-operate fully There was no loss of life here,

no miscarriage of justice, and yet there are those who say

they are still waiting Dan Johnson, BBC News,

accused Russia of trying to influence the outcome of the US

presidential election by deploying cyber attacks to destabilise

the political system. Concern about Russia's increasingly

aggressive use of cyberspace has also been growing

in the European Union, especially after a French television

channel was taken off air last year. Our security correspondent

Gordon Corera has more details. This weekend, the US made

an extraordinary claim, that Russian hackers were trying

to influence the race American spies say only senior

Russian officials could have authorised the hacking of computers

at the Democratic Party headquarters The result was an embarrassing leak

of emails and resignation

of the party's chairwoman. President Obama voted early

using an electronic voting machine, and there is evidence that hackers,

perhaps Russian, have tried to get The only reason I can see why

you would want to do that is to sow doubt about the outcome

of the election, because if you are in a district

where you have to rely on the voting machines and you know

that the database has been penetrated, can

you really trust the results? It's not just America

that's been worried. Here in Britain during the general

election campaign last year, there were fears that broadcasters,

including the BBC, could be targeted That fear was because a French TV

network last April was taken off air The director-general of TV5

Monde showed me around the Paris control room,

which runs 12 global channels. Last year, all the screens went dark

as a computer virus started All of a sudden,

everything went dark. Then the people in charge

of digital sent word that "We are also not down,

but we have threatening messages on Facebook,

from so-called Islamic State, but intelligence officials now

believe it was Russia, Russia appears willing to take more

risks using its hackers. The question for Washington

and others is how to respond. Football, and the England captain

Wayne Rooney has been dropped to the bench for tomorrow's

World Cup qualifier It comes after he was booed by some

fans during the team's victory over Malta on Saturday,

but the interim manager Gareth Southgate says

the decision is tactical rather Our correspondent Andy

Swiss has the story. He was once unstoppable

and undroppable. In Slovenia tonight,

Wayne Rooney out on the pitch, but tomorrow he'll be

starting on the sidelines after a performance at the weekend

which drew audible criticism. Tonight, Rooney faced the media

dropped his captain. I understand and I respect

the manager's decision. It's football I've played

for 13 years non-stop A time comes when for the manager,

you're not the first name on the team sheet,

will lead the team tomorrow, Rooney will remain captain long

term, according to the manager. Not an easy decision to take

because of the respect I have for him as a player,

as a person But we felt it was the right

decision to go with the team Rooney's form this season has come

under increasing scrutiny. His club, Manchester United,

have dropped him, and now his So is this the beginning
