:01:08. > :01:29.come straight to me on this hashtag. The final night of the Democratic

:01:34. > :01:36.Hillary Clinton will give a speech which is certain to be watched by
:01:37. > :01:41.millions across the US as well as around the world. She definitely
:01:42. > :01:43.cannot complain about the build-up. First Michelle Obama, then Bill
:01:44. > :01:48.Clinton, then Barack Obama, night after night it installed her
:01:49. > :01:56.virtues. This is some of what the president said. There has never been
:01:57. > :02:01.a man or a woman, not me, not Bill, nobody more qualified than Hillary
:02:02. > :02:08.Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America. This year,
:02:09. > :02:13.in this election, I'm asking you to join me to reject cynicism and
:02:14. > :02:18.reject fear, and to summon what is best in us, to elect Hillary Clinton
:02:19. > :02:22.as the next president of the United States. And show the world we still
:02:23. > :02:26.believe in the promise of this great nation.
:02:27. > :02:40.You can follow this story online on the BBC News website. Let's bring in
:02:41. > :02:43.catty -- Cattie Kay. Most will agree on the fact that Hillary Clinton has
:02:44. > :02:48.a great deal of experience. I've been reading lots of articles from
:02:49. > :02:55.the US press. One thing comes out, she still has laid out her vision
:02:56. > :03:00.for America, is that fair criticism? -- hasn't laid out. I think it is,
:03:01. > :03:04.actually. If you asked average Americans who are sort of following
:03:05. > :03:10.this campaign, but already focused on their jobs and families and daily
:03:11. > :03:12.lives, what Donald Trump stands for they would probably come back with a
:03:13. > :03:20.couple of simple things, building a wall with Mexico. -- but are really
:03:21. > :03:24.focused. Having a ban on Muslims and making America stronger. If you ask
:03:25. > :03:28.the same question about Hillary Clinton I'm not sure they could give
:03:29. > :03:33.you those same three very concrete, clear proposals. But I think it is a
:03:34. > :03:36.problem for her. What we have heard a lot from her and from Barack Obama
:03:37. > :03:41.is that this is somebody who is ready to be president. Because she
:03:42. > :03:46.has experience in running the country and has had a life of public
:03:47. > :03:51.service. That is a strong argument for her as a public servant. But it
:03:52. > :03:59.is not a very clear assistant one line policy pitch. And I think that
:04:00. > :04:02.is a problem for her. -- succinct. For all of the work that has gone
:04:03. > :04:06.into this speech, she has given big political speeches in the past, she
:04:07. > :04:09.ran for president eight years ago, she hasn't managed it before and a
:04:10. > :04:17.lot of us are wondering where she will find the vision now. I think
:04:18. > :04:20.more than the vision issue, the challenge for Hillary Clinton, that
:04:21. > :04:25.I'm hearing from people around her campaign, is to change the narrative
:04:26. > :04:30.about Hillary Clinton. They are not so much concerned about the Bernie
:04:31. > :04:33.Sanders supporters who have made their voice is clear, particularly
:04:34. > :04:41.at the beginning of this convention, but they are concerned about Hillary
:04:42. > :04:45.Clinton's negatives. She has been in the public eye for a long time.
:04:46. > :04:53.People know a lot about her. She has a high level of untrustworthiness
:04:54. > :04:56.among Americans. That is that the narrative surrounding her. Between
:04:57. > :05:00.now and November, if she is to win over those voters who might sway
:05:01. > :05:05.either way between Trump and Clinton, she has to somehow change
:05:06. > :05:07.that narrative. I think in her speech tonight, and what you've
:05:08. > :05:12.heard all through this convention, has been part of that effort. Part
:05:13. > :05:16.of it has been humanising her. We heard from Bill Clinton the mother,
:05:17. > :05:20.the wife, the person he fell in love with. Part of it has been have
:05:21. > :05:24.experience, we heard that from Barack Obama last night. And I think
:05:25. > :05:29.we will have that from her tonight. It's not so much what she says
:05:30. > :05:33.tonight it is how she says it. It is almost a question of delivery. Does
:05:34. > :05:38.she have a regular conversation, does she reach Americans in the way
:05:39. > :05:42.Joe Biden did so brilliantly last night? Almost with a whisper into
:05:43. > :05:48.the microphone. They are right in front of her, in their living rooms,
:05:49. > :05:52.she is right there with them, does she show that, or does she give that
:05:53. > :05:56.big grand political speech? I think some of her advisers have been
:05:57. > :05:59.suggesting that they can really hope she can do the former, she can give
:06:00. > :06:08.an intimate, personal account of who she is. Very interesting. Thank you.
:06:09. > :06:12.She will be back in about 25 minutes time. If you have any questions for
:06:13. > :06:16.her and use the hashtag and we will get into that. In the meantime let's
:06:17. > :06:22.talk about what Angela Merkel has been saying today. She has set a
:06:23. > :06:26.clear message. That Germany will not be abandoning its policy of
:06:27. > :06:29.welcoming refugees. The reason she has had to reiterate this is because
:06:30. > :06:33.there has been a series of attacks in Germany over the last couple of
:06:34. > :06:38.weeks. We have talked about them a lot on this programme. Many have
:06:39. > :06:44.been carried out by a silent seekers or people with migrant backgrounds.
:06:45. > :06:48.-- asylum seekers. In 2015 alone over 1 million people arrived in
:06:49. > :06:54.Germany. Here are some of what Angela Merkel had to say.
:06:55. > :06:59.TRANSLATION: The terrorists want us to lose the focus on the things that
:07:00. > :07:04.are necessary. They want to undermine our solidarity and our
:07:05. > :07:08.togetherness. They want to damage our way of life, our openness, and,
:07:09. > :07:16.yes, our readiness to taking people in distress. They want to spread
:07:17. > :07:21.hatred and fear between the cultures. And they want to spread
:07:22. > :07:25.hatred between the religions. We stand decisively against this.
:07:26. > :07:38.Those words were never going to please everybody in Germany. We
:07:39. > :07:48.travelled to Cologne to find out more about Frauke Petry.
:07:49. > :08:02.There was an axe attack near Wuerzburg on a train and there was a
:08:03. > :08:08.suicide bombing on a train in Ansbach. There was also a deadly
:08:09. > :08:12.shooting in Munich. All of these are not thought to be connected to
:08:13. > :08:17.radical Islam. If we go from Germany to France. There was that horrific
:08:18. > :08:22.attack in Nice with the truck two weeks ago. And two days ago a priest
:08:23. > :08:26.was murdered. Both of those attacks were also linked to IS and that has
:08:27. > :08:30.provoked a passionate security debate. The former president,
:08:31. > :08:38.Nicolas Sarkozy, the man who wants the job back, has said:
:08:39. > :08:47.This is a counter from the current interior Minister saying:
:08:48. > :08:54.On Outside Source we often turn to the BBC's chief correspondent for
:08:55. > :08:56.his analysis. Here are Gavin's thoughts on what Angela Merkel said
:08:57. > :09:01.today. Today she showed I think some
:09:02. > :09:05.courage. She is under attack from certain quarters in Germany. There
:09:06. > :09:11.are people saying we got to know who is in the country. We don't know
:09:12. > :09:14.who's in the country. We don't they who has been assigned the
:09:15. > :09:20.deportation, and they need to be removed. She has doubled down on her
:09:21. > :09:26.original policy. She has said we can manage this. The idea is she put
:09:27. > :09:29.forward, about making it more difficult to buy arms on the
:09:30. > :09:33.Internet, that is not what her critics are looking for. They want
:09:34. > :09:41.her to make a tougher line. Moving towards pushing out those who have
:09:42. > :09:44.failed to get asylum. Is she in a stronger position than where
:09:45. > :09:52.Francois Hollande finds himself in France? He is struggling at the
:09:53. > :09:55.moment. After the attacks in Nice a lot -- whatever truth there has been
:09:56. > :10:08.broke down. Critics tore into him and the government. -- truce there
:10:09. > :10:12.was there has been a breakdown. They have come across with much, much
:10:13. > :10:16.tougher language. Today Francois Brummer and has been talking about
:10:17. > :10:23.setting up a National Guard. -- Francois Hollande. I'm not sure how
:10:24. > :10:28.quickly that would come into effect. Perhaps by the autumn. But he is in
:10:29. > :10:31.a weak position. He, too, rather like Angela Merkel, doesn't want to
:10:32. > :10:38.turn this into a clash of civilisations. He doesn't want, in
:10:39. > :10:41.the end, compromise the basic freedoms of France or Germany in
:10:42. > :10:46.order to deal with this. That is the dilemma. He may not want to
:10:47. > :10:51.compromise but there is a huge amount of pressure on the core ideas
:10:52. > :10:54.behind these great European nations, freedom of movement, freedom of
:10:55. > :10:59.speech, multiculturalism, they are all come in different ways, under
:11:00. > :11:01.pressure. They are. You hear European leaders talking about
:11:02. > :11:06.differing values. They feel under pressure. They feel some of the
:11:07. > :11:12.things they are most proud of our at risk at the moment. And certainly in
:11:13. > :11:21.fighting terrorism, which is very much on people's minds, what they
:11:22. > :11:25.don't want to go further is to put a big fence around Europe and curtail
:11:26. > :11:29.some of those freedoms. But if these attacks, attacks by lone wolves, or
:11:30. > :11:35.attacks by people connected to IS continue, then that political
:11:36. > :11:38.pressures will continue. And even in Germany some of her more
:11:39. > :11:43.conservative allies are saying, you know, the current state of things
:11:44. > :11:48.isn't working. Today, as I say, Angela Merkel took a responsible,
:11:49. > :11:51.courageous stand. But she will come under further pressure if these
:11:52. > :11:58.attacks continue. Let's talk about the EU. We have looked at it from a
:11:59. > :12:07.nation by nation perspective. But over Western Europe, it will become
:12:08. > :12:15.the dominant institution. Do you think it needs a unified response?
:12:16. > :12:21.At the moment there is an incentive to hold the line. They've just have
:12:22. > :12:26.a referendum here in the UK. Today, the economic sentiment in the
:12:27. > :12:30.Eurozone was pretty good. Some sense the immediate crisis has passed. But
:12:31. > :12:39.people understand that the migrant crisis has not gone away. You have a
:12:40. > :12:44.Chancellor increasingly dependent on a lead in Turkey. You also have
:12:45. > :12:51.these terrorist attacks and the threat they pose. -- leader in
:12:52. > :12:56.Turkey. The sense of not just being under pressure, but feeling a little
:12:57. > :12:59.bit weak at the moment, and people asking questions about the future of
:13:00. > :13:04.the EU. They have been doing it for some time. But I think that is ferry
:13:05. > :13:07.much the feeling in places like Brussels at the moment. That they
:13:08. > :13:12.are circling the wagons. And they want to hang on as much as they can
:13:13. > :13:19.to what they consider to be their successes, achievements, and basic
:13:20. > :13:23.beliefs. On yesterday's programme we were
:13:24. > :13:27.looking at Facebook's spectacular quarterly results. Later on in the
:13:28. > :13:32.programme we will be talking about Google and Amazon. Two companies
:13:33. > :13:34.that deliver impressive results. We will be live in New York to talk
:13:35. > :13:46.about that. The Prime Minister, Theresa May, is
:13:47. > :13:50.holding talks in Slovakia and Poland or part of her tour of European
:13:51. > :13:53.capitals. She's been stressing the importance of maintaining a strong
:13:54. > :13:58.relationship with member states after the UK leads the European
:13:59. > :14:02.Union. Speaking at a news conference with the Polish Prime Minister she
:14:03. > :14:06.emphasised the importance of the relationship between the two
:14:07. > :14:12.countries. Let me play you a little of what she said in Warsaw. It is a
:14:13. > :14:16.partnership that goes back a long way. We will never forget the Polish
:14:17. > :14:20.pilots who braved the skies alongside us in World War II. To
:14:21. > :14:24.stand up for freedom and democracy across Europe. And it is a
:14:25. > :14:29.partnership that we will endure long after the UK has left the EU to stop
:14:30. > :14:33.indeed today we have discussed how we can continue to deepen our
:14:34. > :14:38.cooperation following on from the agreement made last year to work
:14:39. > :14:47.more closely together. -- UK has left you.
:14:48. > :14:56.Welcomes Outside Source. Our lead story: After three days of
:14:57. > :15:00.Democratic stars like Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton as Barack Obama,
:15:01. > :15:04.tonight is the turn of Hillary Clinton. She is hours away from
:15:05. > :15:07.making her bid for the presidential office with a speech to the
:15:08. > :15:14.Democratic convention. Let's look at some of the main stories. Their
:15:15. > :15:20.reports that about 50 animals in one of the Venezuelanmain zoos have died
:15:21. > :15:25.in the last six months because of hunger. Venezuelan is suffering a
:15:26. > :15:27.severe economic crisis. There are chronic food shortages in some
:15:28. > :15:30.areas. These are pictures of flash floods
:15:31. > :15:35.in Nepal that have killed at least 75 people. One river causing a huge
:15:36. > :15:43.amount of damage, or caused by monsoon rains. -- all.
:15:44. > :15:51.This story is scarcely believable. The city of Hiroshima has had to ask
:15:52. > :16:02.the creators of Pokemon Go to key their characters out of the
:16:03. > :16:09.cemeteries of those who died. -- to keep.
:16:10. > :16:16.The al-Nusra Front is based in Syria. Today it has announced that
:16:17. > :16:22.it has split from al-Qaeda. We've already been getting some reaction
:16:23. > :16:27.from Washington. Laura, can you help us understand the relationship
:16:28. > :16:32.between these two organisations? The al-Nusra Front formed in 2012. They
:16:33. > :16:36.are allied with our Kyel Reid. There had been rumours in the last few
:16:37. > :16:43.months they were going to split. -- with Al-Qaeda. The al-Nusra Front
:16:44. > :16:47.have a very powerful force. They are well equipped. They are known as
:16:48. > :16:52.powerful fighters. They have been affiliated with Al-Qaeda. Now
:16:53. > :16:57.Al-Qaeda has said they can go. The al-Nusra Front decided to go. The
:16:58. > :17:02.reason perhaps for this is because the US in Russia refused to name the
:17:03. > :17:08.al-Nusra Front outside the truce. It means they are still a target for
:17:09. > :17:13.bombing in Syria. It could be that this has been part of their
:17:14. > :17:17.decision-making. However, in briefings by both the State
:17:18. > :17:22.Department and the White House today there is a great deal of scepticism
:17:23. > :17:27.when it comes to this decision. The US State Department says it sees no
:17:28. > :17:30.reason so far to change its view of al-Nusra Front after the
:17:31. > :17:37.announcement and will judge it on its actions, goals, and ideology.
:17:38. > :17:42.They will remain a target. We know IS aspires to create a caliphate
:17:43. > :17:47.using territory that it seizes. What is al-Nusra Front trying to achieve
:17:48. > :17:53.in Syria? It is trying to get rid of the Assad regime in Syria. It is
:17:54. > :17:57.also not friends with the Islamic State. The two sides don't like each
:17:58. > :18:05.other despite the IS trying to at various times get al-Nusra Front to
:18:06. > :18:10.join its ranks. What al-Nusra Front has tried to do is perhaps join with
:18:11. > :18:15.the more moderate groups. Certainly that is what it seems to imply with
:18:16. > :18:19.its statement this afternoon. This provides a real headache for those
:18:20. > :18:22.in Washington. They've already urged moderate groups in Syria, some of
:18:23. > :18:27.whom that Payback, to step away from al-Nusra Front. If many of the
:18:28. > :18:30.moderate groups are looking at al-Nusra Front and seeing how strong
:18:31. > :18:34.the fighters are and how well equipped they are, as they are all
:18:35. > :18:40.trying to fight the Assad regime, they might be attracted by it. Josh
:18:41. > :18:43.Ernest said during his White House briefing today, here's the White
:18:44. > :18:50.House spokesman, he said it is very difficult for the US military to
:18:51. > :18:54.distinguish, and very complex to distinguish them between moderate
:18:55. > :19:02.and serious groups in Syria. Thanks very much. We some from the
:19:03. > :19:07.Americans describing al-Nusra Front as moderate.
:19:08. > :19:13.As we were talking about earlier, when I was telling you about what
:19:14. > :19:16.Angela Merkel has been saying today, millions of migrants and refugees
:19:17. > :19:22.have been travelling into Europe for the past couple of years. Most of
:19:23. > :19:26.them take two routes. Either through Turkey, Greece, and up through the
:19:27. > :19:33.Balkans towards countries like Germany, or from Libya across the
:19:34. > :19:38.Mediterranean to Italy. We have one former people smuggler in our next
:19:39. > :19:41.report claiming the European Union's actions, particularly in the
:19:42. > :19:45.Mediterranean, are encouraging people to make the journey. Before
:19:46. > :19:50.we see that, bear in mind that 3000 people have already died trying to
:19:51. > :19:55.cross the sea this year. And that Libya is now the main point of
:19:56. > :20:03.departure. The main destination for those who leave Libya, well, there
:20:04. > :20:10.are two. Cicely is one of them and so is another small Italian island.
:20:11. > :20:15.Over 10,000 of these migrants who tried to make it across were
:20:16. > :20:22.unaccompanied children. We pick up the story in Tripoli.
:20:23. > :20:26.As the sun goes down we set out with the Tripoli Coast Guard. Facing the
:20:27. > :20:33.perils of the Mediterranean, which has claimed so many. This
:20:34. > :20:39.inflatable, battered by the waves, is their only seaworthy vessel. From
:20:40. > :20:46.their fleet of four three need repairs. Later, in pitch darkness,
:20:47. > :20:52.they are on the lookout for migrants in distress. Not easy without
:20:53. > :20:58.night-vision goggles. All they can do is listen for their vessels. It
:20:59. > :21:02.is 1:30am. We are in a stretch of water where smugglers' boats pass
:21:03. > :21:10.regularly. Usually between one and three. The engine is off, the lights
:21:11. > :21:15.are off, the Coast Guard do not want turn that anybody to their presents.
:21:16. > :21:18.But if a rescue was needed tonight they have just this one small
:21:19. > :21:25.vessel. By daybreak, no trouble on the horizon. They say it is the
:21:26. > :21:30.traffickers who rule the waves. TRANSLATION: Smugglers have more
:21:31. > :21:34.boats and more weapons. They have long-range guns. They can escort the
:21:35. > :21:41.migrants to European waters and we can't do anything to stop them. The
:21:42. > :21:45.state doesn't support us. We have not been paid since March. Coast
:21:46. > :21:50.Guard officials say there is another problem further out to see just
:21:51. > :21:56.beyond Libyan territorial waters. Operation Sofia. They say the EU
:21:57. > :22:03.mission supposed to shut down smuggling routes is ferrying
:22:04. > :22:08.migrants to Italy like a taxi. There is agreement from a smuggler, now
:22:09. > :22:18.detained, who the authorities say is a big fish. I encourage people to
:22:19. > :22:21.try one more. They are rescued when they are very close to Libya. I
:22:22. > :22:27.encourage more people to enter the route. They think the ships will
:22:28. > :22:32.pick them up quickly. Quickly. And thousands need to be picked up every
:22:33. > :22:41.month. This was in late June. The Coast Guard coming to the rescue.
:22:42. > :22:53.Pregnant women among those scrambling for places. But many here
:22:54. > :23:01.are still determined to get to Europe to find work. FT from Nigeria
:23:02. > :23:10.told us she has no choice. -- Betty. My children don't need to suffer
:23:11. > :23:13.like this. We need to go. It will be better than Nigeria. My children
:23:14. > :23:18.need to go to school, they need to have a better life. She knows that
