:00:00. > :00:07.Tonight at Ten: As dozens of child refugees are allowed into Britain,
:00:08. > :00:12.there are calls for more checks to verify how old they are.
:00:13. > :00:15.They come from the camp in Calais, which is due to be closed
:00:16. > :00:17.within days and it's being reported that some adults are passing
:00:18. > :00:22.These were some of this week's arrivals.
:00:23. > :00:25.One MP says there might be a case for dental checks
:00:26. > :00:31.If we want to help children, that's great, I'm all in favour
:00:32. > :00:35.of that, but I'm not in favour of allowing people in their 20s
:00:36. > :00:38.to say I am a child and then to come into the UK and make
:00:39. > :00:42.But the case for dental checks was dismissed as unethical

:00:49. > :00:50.progress is slowed down by the forces of

:00:59. > :01:03.We were rushing back in our vehicle reversing when it got stuck.
:01:04. > :01:06.They're in the key state of Nevada for the final US presidential debate
:01:07. > :01:13.European scientists are still waiting for a signal
:01:14. > :01:22.from the spacecraft that was due to land on Mars several hours ago.

:01:29. > :01:35.Ben Duckett and Haseeb Hameed are vying to be opening batsman
:01:36. > :01:57.for England's first Test against Bangladesh tomorrow morning.
:01:58. > :02:03.The Home Office has insisted that all necessary checks will be carried
:02:04. > :02:08.out on the child refugees arriving in Britain from the camp in Calais.
:02:09. > :02:11.The BBC has been told that 39 have arrived this week amid claims that
:02:12. > :02:17.Ministers say that further checks, including interviews with relatives
:02:18. > :02:24.A call from one Conservative MP for the refugees to submit to dental
:02:25. > :02:28.checks to verify their age has been rejected by ministers.
:02:29. > :02:30.The British Dental Association said any such checks would be
:02:31. > :02:35.Our correspondent, June Kelly, has more details.
:02:36. > :02:46.We are showing the face of one of the latest Calais arrivals. He was
:02:47. > :02:51.interviewed last week on the BBC by the singer Lily Allen while in The
:02:52. > :02:56.Jungle. And this morning, as the teenager from Afghanistan prepared
:02:57. > :03:00.to leave, he spoke about his hopes for his new life in Britain.
:03:01. > :03:06.TRANSLATION: I want to go to school in London, to join my brothers to
:03:07. > :03:11.start a new life there. But not everyone is pleased to see all the
:03:12. > :03:14.refugees. There are questions over whether
:03:15. > :03:18.some are under 18 and eligible to come to the UK as part of a scheme
:03:19. > :03:23.aimed at helping vulnerable children.
:03:24. > :03:26.Emotion is not a good way of deciding policy, sometimes we have
:03:27. > :03:30.to be hard-headed and think what are we trying to achieve? If we want to
:03:31. > :03:34.help children I am in favour of that, but I am not in favour of
:03:35. > :03:37.allowing people in their 20s to say I am a child and come to the UK and
:03:38. > :03:41.make a mockery of our rules. What screening procedures have the new
:03:42. > :03:45.arrivals undergone? Well, firstly there is an interview with French
:03:46. > :03:48.and British officials in Calais and checks are carried out. Once they
:03:49. > :03:51.arrive in Britain, their fingerprints are taken and there are
:03:52. > :03:55.more checks to see that they haven't broken the law. But even if a
:03:56. > :04:02.refugee has lied about his age, he can still try to claim asylum here.
:04:03. > :04:06.Amil, originally from Afghanistan, came in from Calais on Monday to be
:04:07. > :04:12.reunited with his older brother. We are not showing his face because he
:04:13. > :04:16.is only 14. He describes how he was processed.
:04:17. > :04:22.TRANSLATION: First I had to get some documents to prove my brother was in
:04:23. > :04:27.the UK. I had to interviews in Calais, one with French authorities
:04:28. > :04:32.and one with the British. Then when I arrived here on Monday there was
:04:33. > :04:35.another check. This has been day three of a
:04:36. > :04:40.resettlement scheme which has taken a long while to plan and a short
:04:41. > :04:44.time to become controversial. Last year, about a fifth of so-called
:04:45. > :04:49.unaccompanied minors were found to be over age. So there are strict
:04:50. > :04:55.rules according to an organisation which is helping to identify those
:04:56. > :04:58.in Calais. The Home Office does have pretty robust processes in place to
:04:59. > :05:01.assess children in Calais and recheck that and double check it
:05:02. > :05:06.back here in Britain. Essentially we think there is a robust process
:05:07. > :05:08.which will mean those children who are eligible will get transferred
:05:09. > :05:16.and those who aren't will get found out and returned back to France.
:05:17. > :05:19.Tonight, once again, The Jungle has been shrouded in tiergas fired by
:05:20. > :05:23.French police. All those in the camp want to reach the UK and in the
:05:24. > :05:31.coming days dozens more will be allowed to cross The Channel.
:05:32. > :05:34.Europe's migration challenge will be high on the agenda at a summit of EU
:05:35. > :05:38.Theresa May said today that control of immigration was at the heart
:05:39. > :05:40.of the outcome of the EU referendum in June.
:05:41. > :05:43.The Prime Minister will be hoping to convince her fellow leaders,
:05:44. > :05:45.including Chancellor Merkel of Germany, of her case
:05:46. > :05:47.for controlling immigration but, as our Europe editor, Katya Adler,
:05:48. > :05:50.reports, Chancellor Merkel is having to deal with her own pressures
:05:51. > :05:58.Looming German elections mean Angela can't afford to focus
:05:59. > :06:12.The concerns of ordinary voters need to take precedence.
:06:13. > :06:17.Immigration and integration are the main worries for German
:06:18. > :06:19.voters, though most are reluctant to say that on camera.
:06:20. > :06:22.I don't enjoy being here and it's not a place
:06:23. > :06:31.Activist Robert Timm showed me around a district of Berlin.
:06:32. > :06:35.More than a million asylum seekers flooded to Germany last year
:06:36. > :06:38.after Mrs Merkel put out the welcome mat.
:06:39. > :06:42.Robert told me he no longer recognised his own city.
:06:43. > :06:45.When I challenged him on that, he told me Chancellor Merkel should
:06:46. > :06:51.The people are fed up and she just doesn't care.
:06:52. > :06:56.That perception has damaged Angela Merkel's CDU Party.
:06:57. > :06:59.Brexit, say CDU members, will have to take a back seat
:07:00. > :07:03.to domestic issues before the general election here.
:07:04. > :07:06.TRANSLATION: It's inconceivable German politicians will let Brexit
:07:07. > :07:12.Migration, terror and security come first.
:07:13. > :07:16.But we have learned lessons from the Brexit referendum.
:07:17. > :07:20.We in Government need to win back the trust of our people.
:07:21. > :07:24.One thing really does need to be made clear.
:07:25. > :07:30.Angela Merkel, yes, she's down in the polls, but she's far from out
:07:31. > :07:33.but she's far from out and, as one of her nicknames,
:07:34. > :07:36.she is capable of fighting on more than one front.
:07:37. > :07:39.So, what does the leader of the EU's most influential country
:07:40. > :07:44.Germany and the UK traditionally are close allies inside the EU.
:07:45. > :07:47.But now that we're on our way out is that enough for Germany
:07:48. > :07:54.Of course say leading Brexiteers, citing German self-interest
:07:55. > :08:02.One in five cars made here is sold in Britain.
:08:03. > :08:07.But from the upholstered interiors of a Mercedes showroom cafe
:08:08. > :08:10.Britain's former ambassador to Berlin told me money doesn't
:08:11. > :08:14.always talk when it comes to Germany and the EU.
:08:15. > :08:17.Europe is their salvation, if you like, after the horrors
:08:18. > :08:22.And we've never really understood this in Britain.
:08:23. > :08:25.We've never understood that to our European partners Europe
:08:26. > :08:28.means something completely different to what it means for us.
:08:29. > :08:31.If push comes to shove, and the choice has to be made,
:08:32. > :08:34.the choice will be for Europe and not for Britain.
:08:35. > :08:38.It's not an easy choice for Angela Merkel and tonight Brexit
:08:39. > :08:41.and the EU's precarious future are all the subject of political
:08:42. > :08:48.Tomorrow's show is in Brussels with a debut by Theresa May
:08:49. > :08:51.and increasingly hostile performances expected by Mrs Merkel
:08:52. > :09:05.Katya has moved from Berlin to Brussels tonight ready for that
:09:06. > :09:09.summit. You have been explaining there some of the pressures on
:09:10. > :09:14.Angela Merkel at home and clearly Brexit will not be the focus of this
:09:15. > :09:18.summit as you say? Brussels is certainly a great pains to point out
:09:19. > :09:23.that there will be no Brexit debate at this or any other summit until
:09:24. > :09:26.Downing Street launches formal Brexit negotiations. Theresa May has
:09:27. > :09:30.been asked to deliver a Brexit update tomorrow night at a dinner
:09:31. > :09:34.with other EU leaders but there will be no discussion afterwards.
:09:35. > :09:38.However, at all of the formal discussions at this summit about
:09:39. > :09:42.migration and Russia and Syria Brexit will remain the red, white
:09:43. > :09:46.and blue elephant in the room and as I travelled around Europe you can
:09:47. > :09:50.see hardening positions in traditional British allies like
:09:51. > :09:53.Germany as I pointed out, but also the Netherlands, which like Germany
:09:54. > :09:57.and France hold general elections next year and Brexit is becoming
:09:58. > :10:02.something of an EU political football. A high level EU source was
:10:03. > :10:06.only half joking when he said to me tonight that after the migration,
:10:07. > :10:11.the eurozone, terror and security crisis, he hasn't seen EU leaders so
:10:12. > :10:14.united as they are in their determination to close ranks over
:10:15. > :10:17.Brexit, for now at least. Thank you very much.
:10:18. > :10:21.We will talk again tomorrow when that summit is on.
:10:22. > :10:23.Iraqi troops trying to drive so-called Islamic State
:10:24. > :10:26.from the city of Mosul, its last remaining stronghold
:10:27. > :10:29.in the country, are now facing growing resistance with IS forces
:10:30. > :10:35.Iraqi security forces are working with Kurdish troops to try to retake
:10:36. > :10:40.Our correspondent, Jonathan Beale, has been with an Iraqi
:10:41. > :10:42.rapid-reaction unit and sent this report
:10:43. > :10:53.There was a brief pause and a chance to regroup before the Iraqi army
:10:54. > :10:58.Around 70 villages still have to be cleared before
:10:59. > :11:05.they reached the city itself, 30 miles away.
:11:06. > :11:08.We travelled with General Abbas as he prepared to advance.
:11:09. > :11:13.So-called Islamic State or Daesh fighters had already been spotted.
:11:14. > :11:16.I'm going to put my troops to the left side
:11:17. > :11:26.After that, the coalition forces will attack these guys
:11:27. > :11:32.Our goal is to let the citizens be safe.
:11:33. > :11:53.Three suicide truck bombs were approaching at speed.
:11:54. > :11:58.They put their foot down, taking evasive manoeuvres.
:11:59. > :12:04.Two attackers never reached their target.
:12:05. > :12:08.The Iraqi army finished off the third.
:12:09. > :12:24.Are you worried about truck bombs, the threat it is to your men?
:12:25. > :12:28.I will be worried, because they are my men.
:12:29. > :12:30.Reinforcements arrived with reports of more Islamic State
:12:31. > :12:48.While some of them were killed, most managed to escape.
:12:49. > :12:58.Back on the move, but it wasn't long before we were halted in our tracks.
:12:59. > :13:02.There were repeated, harrying attacks.
:13:03. > :13:06.In one afternoon, they had barely moved forward a mile.
:13:07. > :13:11.And the fight is expected to be much tougher in Mosul,
:13:12. > :13:16.As we hastily pulled back, our Humvee crashed.
:13:17. > :13:22.We have been coming under heavy fire, we have been travelling up
:13:23. > :13:31.The vehicle got stuck and we had to come running back
:13:32. > :13:33.Our stranded Humvee and a trail of destruction suggests this
:13:34. > :13:46.Today here the Iraqi Army came across a group of about 100
:13:47. > :13:50.civilians fleeing the fighting. Further north there was a much
:13:51. > :13:54.larger group of about 1,000 crossing the border into Syria where camps
:13:55. > :13:59.are already overflowing. Remember we are talking at the moment about the
:14:00. > :14:05.villages outlying Mosul. That trickle could become a flood. With
:14:06. > :14:09.aid agencies warning of a potential humanitarian crisis with as many as
:14:10. > :14:13.a million people being forced to flee the fighting when it reaches
:14:14. > :14:17.the city itself. Jonathan, thank you for theup date.
:14:18. > :14:20.In a few hours' time, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump
:14:21. > :14:23.will face each other in Las Vegas for the final debate
:14:24. > :14:26.of the presidential campaign before polling day on November 8th.
:14:27. > :14:29.The latest polls suggest that Mr Trump is losing ground in some
:14:30. > :14:32.key states after facing a series of allegations of sexual
:14:33. > :14:38.But it seems Mrs Clinton remains unpopular with many voters,
:14:39. > :14:41.so experts agree there's a great deal at stake in this third
:14:42. > :14:48.Our North America editor, Jon Sopel, reports.
:14:49. > :14:51.Las Vegas, this is a city where you can win big
:14:52. > :14:54.and invariably lose even bigger, where dreams are made and destroyed.
:14:55. > :14:57.Most things that Donald Trump has touched have turned to gold.
:14:58. > :15:01.His tower dominates the skyline, but in this presidential race,
:15:02. > :15:14.And whisper it quietly, he might end up the loser.
:15:15. > :15:19.So tonight, in the final debate, Donald Trump, like never before,
:15:20. > :15:27.Does he gamble on a scorched earth policy in an attempt to drag
:15:28. > :15:33.Or does he try to look presidential, calm and measured and put his chips
:15:34. > :15:41.I was calling to see if we still have your support
:15:42. > :15:45.But put the debate to one side, politics is about the grunt work,
:15:46. > :15:48.the slog, and this is where Hillary Clinton is better resourced
:15:49. > :15:54.I, Anika, my name is Maria, I'm a volunteer at the Nevada
:15:55. > :15:58.More field offices, more staff and, in Nevada alone, have registered
:15:59. > :16:00.around 100,000 more Democratic voters than the Trump
:16:01. > :16:07.The next three weeks will yield more conversations
:16:08. > :16:10.with voters around the country, more knocking of doors,
:16:11. > :16:13.more phone calls, more volunteers getting out to vote,
:16:14. > :16:16.and really the excitement of the electorate, who is continuing
:16:17. > :16:21.This is one of Donald Trump's only offices in Nevada
:16:22. > :16:24.and we weren't allowed in to film, his campaign team never
:16:25. > :16:26.returned our calls and, for the fist time, a slightly
:16:27. > :16:29.downbeat assessment from his campaign spokeswoman on Fox News.
:16:30. > :16:33.Do you see it as a comeback at the moment?
:16:34. > :16:36.It's a comeback and he's done it before, several
:16:37. > :16:39.We caught up with his supporters down town as they waited
:16:40. > :16:44.They may not have infrastructure, but they have
:16:45. > :16:47.Awesome! Awesome!
:16:48. > :16:50.Every time I've gone to any type of rally,
:16:51. > :16:54.They're showing up because there is a game.
:16:55. > :16:57.He's not getting a fair shake and that's why I'm here.
:16:58. > :17:01.He's going to do really good for our country.
:17:02. > :17:03.Moments after that, Donald Trump's convoy swept into the hotel.
:17:04. > :17:05.He needs a small miracle tonight to turn things around,
:17:06. > :17:08.but Nevada is full of people convinced their luck
:17:09. > :17:18.This time four years ago, when Nick Romney was getting ready to face
:17:19. > :17:23.Barack Obama in the final debate the polls were neck and neck. The latest
:17:24. > :17:28.poll of polls today shows Hillary Clinton nine points in the lead.
:17:29. > :17:33.That is massive landslide territory. It just doesn't feel like that. It
:17:34. > :17:37.may be that the polls are under stating Donald Trump support. If he
:17:38. > :17:40.scores a knock out tonight, it could get a lot tighter in the final three
:17:41. > :17:45.weeks. You know the phrase that Donald Trump keeps using in his
:17:46. > :17:50.speeches now, "we're going to do a Brexit." Huw. All right, Jon, thanks
:17:51. > :17:52.very much. We will talk again about the debate tomorrow, I'm sure, Jon
:17:53. > :17:56.Sopel there for us in Las Vegas. A brief look at some of the day's
:17:57. > :18:15.other other news stories. The Government has
:18:16. > :18:17.backed down from a plan to make all children
:18:18. > :18:19.who fail their end of year primary school tests in England to retake
:18:20. > :18:26.them in secondary school. The Education Secretary said
:18:27. > :18:28.children will be offered Downing Street says
:18:29. > :18:31.that the Prime Minister was made aware of some tensions
:18:32. > :18:33.between the former chair of the Independent Inquiry
:18:34. > :18:35.into Child Sexual Abuse and its panel a few weeks before
:18:36. > :18:37.official concerns were raised. The Prime Minister told
:18:38. > :18:39.MPs today that there were "stories" circulating
:18:40. > :18:41.about Dame Lowell Goddard, but she couldn't intervene
:18:42. > :18:43.on the basis of "rumour." The DJ Tony Blackburn
:18:44. > :18:46.is to return to Radio 2 and BBC He lost his job in February
:18:47. > :18:50.after the BBC said his evidence to an inquiry into sexual abuse
:18:51. > :18:52.at the Corporation "fell short" The DJ has always denied any
:18:53. > :18:56.wrongdoing and claimed he'd The House of Commons
:18:57. > :18:58.will consider tomorrow whether the former boss of BHS,
:18:59. > :19:01.Sir Philip Green, should be allowed Sir Philip sold BHS for ?1
:19:02. > :19:05.in 2015 and the chain went into administration earlier this
:19:06. > :19:08.year, involving the loss of 11,000 jobs and a ?571 million hole
:19:09. > :19:10.in the pension fund. Sir Philip is understood to be
:19:11. > :19:12.meeting the pensions Our business editor,
:19:13. > :19:17.Simon Jack, is here. We have this debate tomorrow and we
:19:18. > :19:25.have a potential meeting with the pension regulator within days. Where
:19:26. > :19:27.do these come together? This debate and Philip Green's knighthood
:19:28. > :19:32.depends on the pension issue. He promised to sort it out, to give
:19:33. > :19:36.those pensioners a better outcome than sliding into the pension
:19:37. > :19:41.protection fund and their benefits would fall by 10% and dwindle over
:19:42. > :19:44.time. He has a meeting within the next 48-hours with the pensions
:19:45. > :19:49.regulator where I'm told real progress will be made to hammer out
:19:50. > :19:51.some of the issues so the firm, substantive offer can be made.
:19:52. > :19:57.Something we haven't seen so far. I have to say, that the people on the
:19:58. > :20:01.other side, Frank Field, his Nemesis, other MPs are treating it
:20:02. > :20:05.with a degree of scepticism. What is interesting, it puts the Speaker of
:20:06. > :20:08.the House of Commons in an interesting position, it's up to him
:20:09. > :20:13.whether we get a vote on this. Whether we should start the process,
:20:14. > :20:17.it's not the end of the process, of stripping him of his knighthood. Do
:20:18. > :20:20.you let a vote happen? Do you say, we will not have this vote until we
:20:21. > :20:24.see if he's serious this time and whether there will be a better
:20:25. > :20:28.outcome and some real progress there. A big call for the Speaker of
:20:29. > :20:32.the House of Commons. One senior MP I spoke to said that this game of
:20:33. > :20:38.parliamentary poker amounted to cash-for-honours. We will find out
:20:39. > :20:41.how much Philip Green values his knighthood and reputation.
:20:42. > :20:46.Pensioners will care much more about the outcome they get rather than
:20:47. > :20:51.this brinkmanship, the game of parliamentary poker that is going
:20:52. > :20:55.on. It will be interesting to see what goes on. Thank you very much.

:21:31. > :21:37.and thrown from a balcony. Tonight at his home,
:21:38. > :21:40.there were tears as his family, including his baby son,
:21:41. > :21:42.gathered to mourn and to wonder how he'd been killed
:21:43. > :21:44.while inside Pentonville. It's very disturbing how
:21:45. > :21:51.it's governed right now. I just hope that place gets
:21:52. > :21:54.shut down as soon as possible We wanted him back
:21:55. > :22:02.in one piece, but... Pentonville, which holds
:22:03. > :22:04.more than 1,200 men, has become notorious
:22:05. > :22:07.in recent years. I've seen people get hot
:22:08. > :22:10.water slung over them. I've seen people get stabbed
:22:11. > :22:16.in prisons, in Pentonville before, but this time it's gone over the top
:22:17. > :22:19.where someone has ended up dying. That's the only reason it's got
:22:20. > :22:25.into the public eye. One issue has been prisoners
:22:26. > :22:27.and their accomplices using ropes and even drones to smuggle drugs
:22:28. > :22:32.and weapons over the prison walls. It's been a perfect storm

:22:39. > :22:42.inmates and more violence and, meanwhile, the number of prison
:22:43. > :22:49.officers has fallen. The Prison Officers' Association
:22:50. > :22:52.at Pentonville today voted that it had no confidence in the governor,

:22:55. > :22:59.months ago, over the weekend, we had prisoners fighting,
:23:00. > :23:01.we retrieved weapons from them. We had drugs coming over the wall,

:23:52. > :23:57.here at Mission Control, one minute there were cheers
:23:58. > :24:01.and hugs as an orbiting spacecraft starting circling above Mars to look
:24:02. > :24:08.for clues about life. But then came long hours of tension,
:24:09. > :24:12.as a second part of the mission We expected it to continue,
:24:13. > :24:15.but clearly did not. The plan was for a lander to descend
:24:16. > :24:18.to the surface. We know that it made
:24:19. > :24:22.it most of the way. It's parachute definitely opened,

:24:39. > :24:41.wrong at this stage. We have to understand and I'm not
:24:42. > :24:43.going to speculate. But it's possible then
:24:44. > :24:46.that it is on the surface, intact and functioning,
:24:47. > :24:47.just not communicating? That is one possibility,
:24:48. > :24:49.but who knows. We have to wait until tomorrow
:24:50. > :24:52.and discover what we find. This is how the landing should have
:24:53. > :24:58.happened, but there's no data about the final
:24:59. > :25:01.minute of the dissent. Staff here at Mission Control
:25:02. > :25:04.will be working through the night trying to understand what's happened
:25:05. > :25:08.and hoping of course that the lander did touch down intact
:25:09. > :25:12.and will communicate, but the chances don't look great
:25:13. > :25:15.and that raises a serious question over Europe's next big plan
:25:16. > :25:18.to go to Mars. In four years' time,
:25:19. > :25:20.the European Space Agency is planning to send a rover to Mars

:25:36. > :25:38.time we got knocked. Every time we got knocked,
:25:39. > :25:42.we carry on and we move forward. But all this is horribly reminiscent

:26:07. > :26:10.that's what science is about, sometimes things work,
:26:11. > :26:12.sometimes they don't work. The ultimate goal is to find out
:26:13. > :26:15.if the great canyons of Mars host life, to see if we really are alone

:27:56. > :28:00.punished, the hopes began to fade. Another mistake allowed the Germans
