:00:17. > :00:18.At a rally tonight, Mrs Clinton ignored it entirely -

:00:25. > :00:25.Her Republican rival - who's repeatedly dubbed
:00:26. > :00:30.her "Crooked Hillary" - pounced on the new turn of events.
:00:31. > :00:34.Hillary Clinton's corruption is on a scale we have
:00:35. > :00:42.With Mrs Clinton's team tonight questioning the timing
:00:43. > :00:45.of the FBI's statement, we'll be assessing the impact

:01:53. > :01:56.With just 11 days to go before the US Presidential Election,
:01:57. > :01:59.there's a dramatic development that could have serious consequences
:02:00. > :02:02.for Hillary Clinton's campaign for the White House.
:02:03. > :02:05.The FBI announced this evening that it's looking at new information
:02:06. > :02:08.relating to her emails while she was Secretary of State.
:02:09. > :02:12.It had previously closed an investigation into her,
:02:13. > :02:14.after criticising her for holding classified information

:02:19. > :02:20.The Democratic candidate, who was campaigning tonight,
:02:21. > :02:23.stuck doggedly to a pre-prepared speech and said nothing -
:02:24. > :02:27.but her team has questioned the timing of the release.
:02:28. > :02:30.And her Republican rival Donald Trump moved quickly to praise
:02:31. > :02:33.the FBI, and declared she must be prevented from taking
:02:34. > :02:38.what he described as "her criminal scheme" into the Oval Office.
:02:39. > :02:40.Our chief correspondent Gavin Hewitt is outside the FBI headquarters
:02:41. > :02:43.in Washington for us tonight.
:02:44. > :02:56.Quite simply the Clinton campaign is furious, saying it is extraordinary
:02:57. > :03:01.that this should come out just 11 days before a presidential campaign.
:03:02. > :03:05.And another indicator of the serious nurse, or the potential seriousness
:03:06. > :03:09.of this, came from the White House where they put out a statement
:03:10. > :03:14.saying that President Obama still had every faith in Hillary Clinton.
:03:15. > :03:16.This is a significant moment in the American election campaign,
:03:17. > :03:23.Hillary Clinton was arriving in Iowa, her campaign in good spirits.
:03:24. > :03:26.Then they learnt that the FBI is carrying out a new investigation
:03:27. > :03:30.into her e-mails, as part of its probe into her use
:03:31. > :03:36.The FBI has discovered new e-mails and wants to see if any of them
:03:37. > :03:43.Donald Trump was in New Hampshire, and he immediately
:03:44. > :03:48.For weeks, he had based much of his campaign on referring
:03:49. > :03:55.They are reopening the case into her criminal and illegal
:03:56. > :04:03.conduct that threatens the security of the United States of America.
:04:04. > :04:06.The Republican candidate went on to say, this
:04:07. > :04:12.The news came in a letter from the director of the FBI
:04:13. > :04:15.I agreed, he wrote, that the FBI should take appropriate
:04:16. > :04:20.investigative steps, designed to allow investigators
:04:21. > :04:22.to review these e-mails, to determine whether they contained
:04:23. > :04:29.The FBI says it doesn't know whether the material
:04:30. > :04:34.is significant, or how long its investigation will take.
:04:35. > :04:39.This enquiry goes back to the time Hillary Clinton
:04:40. > :04:41.was Secretary of State and used a private e-mail server.
:04:42. > :04:45.In July, after a long enquiry, the FBI closed the case.
:04:46. > :04:47.Although there is evidence of potential violations of
:04:48. > :04:51.the statutes regarding the handling of classified information,
:04:52. > :04:56.our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.
:04:57. > :04:58.The issue of the e-mails surfaced during the presidential debates,
:04:59. > :05:00.and Hillary Clinton apologised for how she had handled
:05:01. > :05:06.I made a mistake using a private e-mail.
:05:07. > :05:13.And if I had to do it over again, I would obviously do it differently.
:05:14. > :05:16.At every campaign stop, however, Donald Trump has made
:05:17. > :05:21.Hillary Clinton's honesty and trustworthiness a key issue.
:05:22. > :05:23.Let's knock out "Crooked Hillary Clinton", crooked
:05:24. > :05:35.At a rally in Iowa, Hillary Clinton did not mention the FBI enquiry.
:05:36. > :05:38.She ignored shouted questions from reporters, but this development
:05:39. > :05:43.is likely to dominate the closing days of the campaign.
:05:44. > :05:46.Back to Gavin in a moment, but first Kim Ghattas
:05:47. > :05:52.is with the Clinton campaign in Cedar Rapids in Iowa.
:05:53. > :06:03.A very difficult day for the Clinton team. What's the reaction been? Yes,
:06:04. > :06:08.indeed, the newest rogue and it come -- the news broke and it caught the
:06:09. > :06:12.campaign off-guard. On the plane they were sounding confident,
:06:13. > :06:15.briefing is on the state of the race. They said they were not
:06:16. > :06:19.feeling complacent, but confident. They said she wasn't quite measuring
:06:20. > :06:23.the drapes at the White House because they told us she is
:06:24. > :06:27.superstitious, and there you have it, we land and a statement from the
:06:28. > :06:32.FBI about e-mails, yet again. Even though we now know that this is not
:06:33. > :06:36.about e-mails from her, or not about e-mails that were on her private
:06:37. > :06:41.server, it does reignite the whole question about transparency when it
:06:42. > :06:44.comes to Hillary Clinton. Now the statement from the FBI was very
:06:45. > :06:48.vaguely worded and it is unclear whether it's going to change the
:06:49. > :06:52.race, but some damage has already been done, with all these headlines
:06:53. > :06:57.swirling. Now, as you saw in this report by Gavin Hewitt, she didn't
:06:58. > :07:00.mention this issue here, but if there's one thing the campaign has
:07:01. > :07:04.learned its to avoid the usual defensive crouch and a statement
:07:05. > :07:08.from the campaign has made very clear that they find the timing
:07:09. > :07:12.extraordinary and they believe, or the indicating that statement, that
:07:13. > :07:16.they believe the FBI simply came under pressure from Republicans and
:07:17. > :07:20.called on the FBI director to do what is right by American voters and
:07:21. > :07:24.clarify as quickly as possible the details of what they are looking
:07:25. > :07:29.into. Gavin, what is the likely impact of this news on the campaign
:07:30. > :07:34.overall? Firstly it has to be said nothing has been proven. We don't
:07:35. > :07:37.know whether bees e-mails contain classified information, or whether
:07:38. > :07:41.they are significant. The e-mails didn't come from Hillary Clinton's
:07:42. > :07:48.server, they came from a former congressman whose wife worked with
:07:49. > :07:53.Hillary Clinton, but all of this is a gift for Donald Trump. At rally
:07:54. > :07:57.after rally he says that she's a liar sitting atop a criminal
:07:58. > :08:02.enterprise. He will now be able to say to people, how can you possibly
:08:03. > :08:06.vote for somebody who is under investigation? On the other hand,
:08:07. > :08:11.the Clinton campaign will put huge pressure publicly on the FBI and say
:08:12. > :08:15.look, clear this up quickly. If there is something there, get it
:08:16. > :08:22.out. If there isn't, we would like Hillary Clinton to be cleared. All
:08:23. > :08:26.of this will be fought out over the next few days. But for Donald Trump
:08:27. > :08:32.this is the day they were text Link and saying it's been one of the best
:08:33. > :08:35.days of the campaign. -- they were sending texts. Gavin Hewitt and Kim

:08:45. > :08:48.Unions say a tribunal decision - handed down this afternoon -
:08:49. > :08:51.could be the start of a significant shift in workplace rights for tens
:08:52. > :08:55.Uber has said it will appeal the decision, as our business
:08:56. > :08:58.correspondent Simon Gompertz reports.
:08:59. > :09:02.Uber drivers, like Asif, get their jobs via a smartphone app.
:09:03. > :09:07.But while Uber is Asif's main source of income,
:09:08. > :09:14.Which is why he says Uber has been denying him normal workers' rights.
:09:15. > :09:18.I have no control of the work, I have an app.
:09:19. > :09:32.So how could I be classified as self-employed, because I
:09:33. > :09:39.Uber has 40,000 drivers in Britain, but they're not employees
:09:40. > :09:42.with full employees' rights, they're self-employed,
:09:43. > :09:45.or independent contractors, as Uber calls them, who have
:09:46. > :09:53.But the drivers who brought this case say they should be workers.
:09:54. > :09:56.Which is legally somewhere in the middle.
:09:57. > :10:02.Entitled to rest breaks, holiday pay, and the national minimum wage.
:10:03. > :10:05.And today, an employment tribunal decided the drivers, and the union
:10:06. > :10:11.This is the most important employment law decision
:10:12. > :10:18.Its implications reach far, far beyond Uber and reach right out
:10:19. > :10:23.They clarify the position and level the playing field up.
:10:24. > :10:30.Traditional taxi drivers around the world accuse it of driving down
:10:31. > :10:37.It said it would appeal and that the overwhelming majority
:10:38. > :10:41.of drivers who use the Uber app want to keep the freedom
:10:42. > :10:46.and flexibility of being able to drive when and where they want.
:10:47. > :10:48.Yet today's decision will reverberate around
:10:49. > :10:52.a new generation of delivery companies, minicabs and courier
:10:53. > :10:55.firms, which use smartphones to mobilise an army
:10:56. > :11:01.They're going to need to look very carefully at the case
:11:02. > :11:03.to decide whether they can distinguish their business
:11:04. > :11:06.operating model from Uber's, or whether it's sufficiently similar
:11:07. > :11:10.that they are now at substantial risk of having to pay the minimum
:11:11. > :11:15.wage, provide paid holiday, sick pay, and so on.
:11:16. > :11:18.So, pending the appeal, Asif should get his workers' rights

:22:38. > :22:41.Sometimes we fight against them, and sometimes we help them,
:22:42. > :22:47.So this is your last picture? Yes, last picture.
:22:48. > :22:48.Of the Jungle? Yes, the Jungle.
:22:49. > :22:49.It's finished now? Finished, Jungle finished.
:22:50. > :22:53.It's all gone? Yes.
:22:54. > :22:58.Most left with barely a glance at their old home.
:22:59. > :23:01.And just time for some goodbyes for the Jungle's children
:23:02. > :23:06.We don't know how their age will be assessed.
:23:07. > :23:08.That's happening right behind me, and I don't know
:23:09. > :23:12.who is the person and how qualified they are to make that assessment.
:23:13. > :23:16.But the promise is all asylum claims will be heard.
:23:17. > :23:18.They've crossed continents, and still their journey isn't done.
:23:19. > :23:24.Damian Grammaticas, BBC News, Calais.
:23:25. > :23:27.The Ross Sea in Antarctica is one of the last great wildernesses,
:23:28. > :23:30.and home to some of the world's most diverse species, including most
:23:31. > :23:36.Now, after years of talks, it's been declared a protected area,
:23:37. > :23:39.Commercial fishing will be banned, as will mining.
:23:40. > :23:42.But the protections won't last forever, as our science editor
:23:43. > :23:50.The waters around Antarctica may be icy, but they are teeming with life.
:23:51. > :23:55.This is one of the world's least disturbed stretches of ocean.
:23:56. > :23:57.Because it is so rich biologically, it is attracting
:23:58. > :24:05.The protection agreed today is seen as hugely important.
:24:06. > :24:08.In the 25 years that I've been working in polar marine biology,
:24:09. > :24:14.It is a massive decision and British Antarctic Survey
:24:15. > :24:17.are delighted that all the hard work for more than five years by 24
:24:18. > :24:25.countries have resulted in this incredible decision.
:24:26. > :24:27.Tiny creatures known as krill are the foundation of life
:24:28. > :24:33.The aim of the new marine protected area is to safeguard
:24:34. > :24:37.There's still so much in this bizarre world
:24:38. > :24:42.that remains a mystery, even after a century of exploration.
:24:43. > :24:46.For scientists it is a huge challenge trying to understand
:24:47. > :24:49.what makes this remote and unique ecosystem tick.
:24:50. > :24:52.I once saw that for myself as I joined a team of biologists,
:24:53. > :24:58.So will the new deal protect all this?
:24:59. > :25:02.It will last 35 years, some say that is not enough.
:25:03. > :25:05.But for the campaigner, Lewis Pugh, who even swam in the Antarctic
:25:06. > :25:12.waters to highlight the issue, the deal is a big step forward.
:25:13. > :25:13.For me this is an issue about justice.
:25:14. > :25:19.Yes, it is about the environment, but most of all it is about justice.
:25:20. > :25:22.It is about ensuring that we look after our environment
:25:23. > :25:28.That there's justice between generations.
:25:29. > :25:31.What's remarkable about the agreement for this remotest
:25:32. > :25:34.corner of the planet is that there has been
:25:35. > :25:36.some very rare harmony between Russia and the West.
:25:37. > :25:39.Far from the disputes over Syria or Ukraine,
:25:40. > :25:42.governments have looked at Antarctica and decided
:25:43. > :25:49.that it is just too precious to put at risk.
:25:50. > :25:53.That's it. Now it's time for the news where you are.
