It's likely to be dominated by the controversy over Mr Trump's

:00:39.:00:38.

More senior Republicans have withdrawn their support for his bid

:00:39.:01:40.

of the political elite trying to sabotage his campaign.

:01:41.:01:40.

If you want change in Washington, you vote for Donald Trump.

:01:41.:01:40.

If you want to keep things the same, you vote for Hillary Clinton.

:01:41.:01:40.

Donald Trump has promised to go on the offensive in tonight's

:01:41.:02:03.

I meant what I said and it's still how I feel.

:02:04.:02:06.

In the US Trump has always been a polarising candidate and to many

:02:07.:02:09.

Americans this latest incident hasn't changed their views.

:02:10.:02:13.

Everybody has flaws and things that they do

:02:14.:02:15.

It doesn't mean that he can't be president.

:02:16.:02:20.

I compare it to JFK and Bill Clinton and every politician in the past,

:02:21.:02:23.

especially presidents, they have loved women and women

:02:24.:02:25.

The noise around Donald Trump has drowned out difficult questions

:02:26.:02:32.

for Hillary Clinton about comments she allegedly made in private

:02:33.:02:34.

But she will almost certainly be challenged on that

:02:35.:02:39.

Here, the Government has abandoned proposals to ask businesses

:02:40.:02:46.

to publish details of the number of foreign workers they employ.

:02:47.:02:50.

The idea was unveiled at the Conservative Party

:02:51.:02:52.

Conference, but the plans were criticised by business groups.

:02:53.:02:55.

With me now is our political correspondent, Tom Barton.

:02:56.:02:57.

Tom, what's the background to all of this?

:02:58.:03:02.

Last week's Conservative Party conference the Home Secretary, Kevin

:03:03.:03:06.

Rudd, said The idea was met with howls of

:03:07.:03:17.

protests from business groups who said it could lead to companies with

:03:18.:03:22.

large foreign workforces being named or shamed and even facing boycotts.

:03:23.:03:27.

Today her cabinet colleague told the BBC

:03:28.:03:28.

We will not be asking companies to list, name,

:03:29.:03:34.

publish or identify in any way the number of foreign

:03:35.:03:37.

Ministers may still ask businesses to collect this information so that

:03:38.:03:45.

they can identify industries or parts of the country where there are

:03:46.:03:50.

large numbers of foreign workers. Sources say that the ridge proposals

:03:51.:03:54.

were misinterpreted, but there is no doubt that this is an embarrassing

ceremony in Yemen. Saudi Arabia described the attack

:04:04.:04:05.

in the capital, Sana'a, as a "regrettable event" and said

it would investigate. A Saudi-led coalition of Arab

for a year-and-a-half. Thousands had come here for

:04:16.:04:18.

a funeral when this hall in Yemen's capital Sana'a was destroyed

by an air strike. People were mourning the father

a very frightening massacre. Hundreds were injured in what the UN

:04:43.:04:49.

has descri ed as a horrific attack. Rescue workers struggled

:04:50.:04:53.

to find survivors. Aid agencies fear the

:04:54.:04:59.

number killed may rise. The Yemeni government

:05:00.:05:10.

condemned the attack. At first the Saude-led coalition

:05:11.:05:12.

denied it was responsible. It later said it would investigate

:05:13.:05:14.

what it called the regrettable and painful bombing in Sana'a,

:05:15.:05:16.

adding it does not target civilians. The conflict in Yemen started

correspondent, Fergus Walsh. Last year, Peter Waite

:06:29.:06:32.

from Hertfordshire was told he had terminal kidney cancer,

:06:33.:06:35.

which had spread to his lungs. He went on a trial and instead

of chemotherapy received a combination of two immunotherapy

drugs, one of them called nivolumab. The drugs shrank his tumours

:06:54.:06:56.

in the future, but I can't be any worse off, because I have got

something now that's been effective. Immunotherapy drugs work

:07:00.:07:06.

by unmasking cancer cells hiding in the body and priming the immune

:07:07.:07:10.

system to destroy them. Early data from a study of 94

:07:11.:07:15.

patients with advanced kidney cancer showed using immunotherapy drugs

:07:16.:07:19.

in combination significantly reduced the size of tumours in 40%

immunotherapy is not There is no one single magic bullet

cure that will work for every type of cancer or for every person,

:07:34.:07:39.

so immunotherapy will work for some patients and, unfortunately,

:07:40.:07:43.

will not work for other patients. What we need is more research

to help us figure out who are those patients who will best benefit

Hamilton's hopes slipped away at the start.

:09:02.:09:03.

He's struggled to make good getaways all season,

:09:04.:09:05.

but would never have imagined he would have one as bad

He jumped two places during the opening round of pit
