:02:43. > :02:46.a sign that investors don't have confidence in a post Brexit UK

:03:08. > :03:13.by 11%, a fundamental market judgment on the threats to the UK
:03:14. > :03:17.economy. It's certainly been a rocky ride for the pound. Here's the
:03:18. > :03:23.beginning of the month when the pound was at 1. $1.30, but it began
:03:24. > :03:26.to fall after Theresa May's speech at Tory party conference appeared to
:03:27. > :03:30.many investors to suggest Britain would not only be leaving the
:03:31. > :03:35.European Union, but the EU single market as well, which many
:03:36. > :03:41.economists see as a poor option. Then on Friday, the flash crash down
:03:42. > :03:46.to 1. $1.14, as automatic computer trading drove down the pound. Since
:03:47. > :03:52.then, what is striking, is this high level of volatility. The markets
:03:53. > :03:57.still feel very uncertain. Today the pound fell to 1. $1.21, a drop of a
:03:58. > :04:02.fifth since the referendum. Now as we import a lot of food and fuel,
:04:03. > :04:06.that could mean higher prices. We do think that inflation starts to pick
:04:07. > :04:10.up from here, particularly next year. If people's incomes aren't
:04:11. > :04:14.rising at the same rate, that's hitting real income. Perhaps that
:04:15. > :04:18.will slow spending, which is key to the UK economy. Also key to the UK
:04:19. > :04:23.economy, the performance of some of our biggest businesses. For them,
:04:24. > :04:27.good news the stock market hit record highs as exports strengthened
:04:28. > :04:31.courtesy of the weak pound and there was a bonus for international
:04:32. > :04:34.businesses, if you earn profits in the strong dollar, it's cashing in
:04:35. > :04:39.timement It looks good, but it is not a vote of confidence in the UK
:04:40. > :04:43.economy. That is because the FTSE 100 is mostly comprised of
:04:44. > :04:47.multinational companies that do their business abroad and also,
:04:48. > :04:51.given the currency fall that we have seen since the referendum, the
:04:52. > :04:54.revenues of those companies, when you translate into sterling, look
:04:55. > :04:59.very good, that's why the FTSE is rising. Good cheer for large
:05:00. > :05:02.businesses and if you are in the tourism or luxury goods market, the
:05:03. > :05:06.low pound has meant trade is booming. But for consumers, more
:05:07. > :05:10.worried about filling up at the petrol station or buying the weekly
:05:11. > :05:17.shop, Britain's uncertain path to Brexit could mean more gloom ahead.
:05:18. > :05:21.Once again conflicting signals from the financial markets. What do they
:05:22. > :05:24.tell us about sentiment and the state of the economy? I think you're
:05:25. > :05:27.right. There are two conflicting mess annings here. One is
:05:28. > :05:32.short-term. That's the stock market and one is a longer term issue about
:05:33. > :05:38.the performance the UK economy. Michael Saunders, a member of the
:05:39. > :05:42.Monetary Policy Committee, they set interest rates as part of the Bank
:05:43. > :05:46.of England. He gave interesting evidence to the Treasury Select
:05:47. > :05:51.Committee where he said a fall in the drop of the -- a drop in the
:05:52. > :05:54.value of the pound is a stimulus. That is something businesses and
:05:55. > :05:58.stock markets are reacting. He said that the value of the pound could
:05:59. > :06:02.fall further. That's where we look at the issues around how will the UK
:06:03. > :06:07.economy look this time next year rather than this time next week.
:06:08. > :06:11.There, the fall in the pound, is really investors signalling they are
:06:12. > :06:16.concerned about the possibility of a slow down next year because of the
:06:17. > :06:20.uncertainty around our exit from the European Union. Final point, what
:06:21. > :06:26.does it mean politically? It's that issue - inflation. If we start
:06:27. > :06:29.seeing import innation into the UK on food and fuel, that's when it
:06:30. > :06:31.starts becoming a political issue for Theresa May.
:06:32. > :06:36.Once again, thanks very much. Donald Trump's campaign

:07:08. > :07:10.until America goes to the polls and today, Donald Trump opened up a new
:07:11. > :07:15.front in his race for the White House. No, not attacking Hillary
:07:16. > :07:17.Clinton or the Democratic Party, but the Republican candidate went to war

:07:23. > :07:24.Donald Trump is in a rage, it's never just a single tweet,
:07:25. > :07:27.they come as a torrent. He took aim first at the most senior

:07:31. > :07:32.weak and ineffective. Senator John McCain,
:07:33. > :07:34.who's abandoned Trump, is described as "foul-mouthed"

:07:49. > :07:51.have always proven to be far more loyal
:07:52. > :07:54.to each other than the Republicans. It's so nice that the shackles have
:07:55. > :08:05.been taken off me and I can now In other words, Donald Trump

:08:56. > :08:59.perfect storm. Democrats are starting to feel
:09:00. > :09:04.a little more confident. Bill Clinton saying the American
:09:05. > :09:08.people had a clear choice. The question is - do you want
:09:09. > :09:11.change that builds on all the good things that are
:09:12. > :09:13.happening and makes more good things happen or do you want to go back

:11:37. > :11:38.I would certainly like to see demonstrations outside
:11:39. > :11:43.That prompted a flurry of sarcasm from Russian diplomats
:11:44. > :11:47.But the Foreign Secretary was not holding back.
:11:48. > :11:50.If Russia continues in its current path, then I believe that great
:11:51. > :11:52.country is in danger of becoming a pariah nation.
:11:53. > :11:56.If President Putin's strategy is to restore the greatness
:11:57. > :11:59.and the glory of Russia, then I believe he risks
:12:00. > :12:09.Some demanded no-fly zones over Aleppo and elsewhere.
:12:10. > :12:11.But that would involve the West being prepared to destroy Russian

:12:15. > :12:17.Some said more aid should be dropped by plane.
:12:18. > :12:21.But these crates can land in the wrong place and often
:12:22. > :12:28.Another's called for yet more diplomacy.
:12:29. > :12:31.If that failed again, more economic sanctions.
:12:32. > :12:34.We do need to explore no-fly and no-bombing zones.
:12:35. > :12:36.We need to look at the question of air drops.

:12:46. > :12:48.With our E3 reconnaissance aircraft, any war crimes by air

:13:11. > :13:13.As for Labour, their frontbench was reluctant to blame Russia

:14:25. > :14:30.Knowing that the same well trained staff will be there each day
:14:31. > :14:33.is important to Betty and many others who need care.
:14:34. > :14:36.The not for profit company that runs these flats used to be a major
:14:37. > :14:40.provider of home care to local councils.
:14:41. > :14:44.But it's pulled out of those contracts because it says it
:14:45. > :14:47.simply isn't paid enough to do the job properly.
:14:48. > :14:50.We wanted to provide care that's with staff that are well trained,
:14:51. > :14:55.well equipped and providing the right quality of service.
:14:56. > :14:59.Without the right funding, that becomes very, very difficult.
:15:00. > :15:02.The regulator, the Care Quality Commission, monitors the finances
:15:03. > :15:05.of some of the larger care companies in England.
:15:06. > :15:09.In an analysis seen by the BBC, it says the handing back of council
:15:10. > :15:12.contracts demonstrates the fragility of the care market.
:15:13. > :15:15.With council budgets squeezed, it asks, at what point
:15:16. > :15:21.will this adversely impact on the quality of service?
:15:22. > :15:24.That's what worries Cheryl Ennis, who used to work as a home carer
:15:25. > :15:30.Sometimes the care is rushed and the client is not
:15:31. > :15:41.The CQC analysis also says the pace of closures amongst the more
:15:42. > :15:43.than 16,000 care homes in England is increasing.
:15:44. > :15:46.It highlights the ongoing struggle to find and keep the right staff.
:15:47. > :15:49.This home in Oxfordshire now just concentrates on residential care
:15:50. > :15:51.for people with fewer health needs, after deciding to stop
:15:52. > :16:05.The first challenge is the lack of nurses, how difficult
:16:06. > :16:07.they are to recruit and that's internationally as well
:16:08. > :16:12.And also, the difference between what the local authorities
:16:13. > :16:20.The charity that runs the home was having to fund the roughly
:16:21. > :16:21.?300 a week difference between what the council paid
:16:22. > :16:29.There's increasing evidence the serious knock-on effect
:16:30. > :16:37.that the problems faced by adult social care are having elsewhere.
:16:38. > :16:39.So for instance, since they made the decision to no longer
:16:40. > :16:42.offer nursing care here, it's meant that the NHS has had
:16:43. > :16:45.to provide more district nurses to come in to see residents.
:16:46. > :16:50.What we do know is that if we continue to reduce funding
:16:51. > :16:53.available for the broad range of public services, that leads
:16:54. > :16:55.to increased demands on the National Health Service,
:16:56. > :17:00.demands that the NHS is not well equipped to meet.

:17:37. > :17:38.The same fault has now been reported in replacement phones.
:17:39. > :17:45.Our technology correspondent, Rory Cellan-Jones, has the latest.
:17:46. > :17:49.It was the latest version of Samsung's giant smartphone
:17:50. > :17:55.and it won rave reviews, but then this happened.
:17:56. > :17:59.In a fast-food restaurant in South Korea a phone is on fire,
:18:00. > :18:02.one of several incidents over the last 10 days and these
:18:03. > :18:04.all involved replacement Note 7s, sent out after the first

:18:11. > :18:16.Customers have been told to turn them off and return them to stores.
:18:17. > :18:19.In London this morning, this man, who bought
:18:20. > :18:23.previous versions of the Note, was disappointed.
:18:24. > :18:25.I pre-ordered the Note 7 in mid-September and I got it
:18:26. > :18:35.So I got my replacement and was I perfectly happy with it
:18:36. > :18:38.and I was really heartbroken to have to take my new phone
:18:39. > :18:44.Samsung broke new ground with the Note, proving
:18:45. > :18:47.there was an appetite for much bigger phones and it hoped this
:18:48. > :18:50.latest version would be the best-selling yet.
:18:51. > :18:53.Now though it's clear that the Note 7 isn't coming back and the company
:18:54. > :18:59.must concentrate on limiting the damage to its whole brand.
:19:00. > :19:04.Shares in the company fell sharply, wiping billions off its value
:19:05. > :19:07.as investors worried that the reputation of its other
:19:08. > :19:10.What's very interesting about Samsung is that it really
:19:11. > :19:16.is respected as being technologically excellent and also
:19:17. > :19:18.really great functionally, and when that very basis
:19:19. > :19:24.of trust has been damaged, that's what they need to recover
:19:25. > :19:27.from, and that will be the test on whether or not they're able
:19:28. > :19:31.to recover some of the value that they really are losing by the day.
:19:32. > :19:33.While this incident is the most serious so far, Samsung
:19:34. > :19:36.isn't alone in seeing smartphone batteries overheat.
:19:37. > :19:39.The reason for the problem is that modern smartphones
:19:40. > :19:43.They use an awful lot of energy to make all those
:19:44. > :19:51.That energy could be dangerous if it gets released quickly and,
:19:52. > :19:52.in certain circumstances, that can happen.
:19:53. > :19:56.We want more and more from our phones, but as Samsung has
:19:57. > :19:59.found to its cost, the one thing we demand above all others
