:00:41. > :00:44.Republicans say they will vote for Hillary Clinton rather than Donald
:00:45. > :00:48.Trump but his campaign manager says the campaign is in great shape. We
:00:49. > :00:49.will speak to the head of a company which has been given permission to
:00:50. > :01:11.land a craft on the moon. Let's start this half hour in the
:01:12. > :01:15.United States where divisions are growing within the Republican party
:01:16. > :01:21.over Donald Trump's raced to the White House. Major Republican donor
:01:22. > :01:23.Meg Whitman, said she will back Mr Trump's rival Democrat Hillary
:01:24. > :01:29.Clinton and she's not the only Republican to say that. His campaign
:01:30. > :01:32.manager has denied the campaign to make him president is in turmoil.
:01:33. > :01:38.Let's take a look at what he said in an interview with Fox News.
:01:39. > :01:47.Let's get more from this with the BBC correspondent in Washington, DC.
:01:48. > :01:50.Great to have you back with us. I was reading the Democrats were
:01:51. > :01:55.saying this is a turning point in the campaign between Hillary Clinton
:01:56. > :01:59.and Donald Trump, is it different, this time? You do get this period
:02:00. > :02:03.between the conventions and first debate where a lot of political
:02:04. > :02:08.strategists think they get a fairly accurate reading of how the American
:02:09. > :02:12.public is feeling about the race. At the moment, since the convention, it
:02:13. > :02:17.seems like Hillary Clinton is faring better. I have to say, over the last
:02:18. > :02:21.48 hours, I have begun to wonder whether -- wonder whether we are
:02:22. > :02:23.watching something of an implosion in the Championship campaign with
:02:24. > :02:27.senior Republicans you mention saying they will not only not
:02:28. > :02:33.endorse him but they will give money and campaign for Hillary Clinton.
:02:34. > :02:40.And then Donald Trump's own refusal to endorse Paul Ryan -- Paul Ryan,
:02:41. > :02:44.the most senior Republican and his VP, Mike Pence, the Republican Vice
:02:45. > :02:49.President candidate says he will endorse Paul Ryan. At the moment,
:02:50. > :02:54.Donald Trump is speaking in Florida at a rally. He began that rally by
:02:55. > :02:59.saying our campaign is more united than it has ever been. This press
:03:00. > :03:02.criticism and speculation about disunity in the Trollope campaign
:03:03. > :03:06.seems to have got to the candidate, he seems to have thought he needs to
:03:07. > :03:12.hit that issue straightaway. It was interesting when the Democrats and
:03:13. > :03:14.president Obama giving a press conference in the Singaporean pie
:03:15. > :03:16.minister, talking about Donald Trump unfit to be president and we talked
:03:17. > :03:21.about it last night. If the Democrats just took a step back, it
:03:22. > :03:24.would be more beneficial, perhaps. Now it looks like the Republicans
:03:25. > :03:28.are going up against them, agreeing with what the Democrats are saying.
:03:29. > :03:33.Instead, let it all play out without taking that step that Mr Obama did,
:03:34. > :03:38.for example. They have done that, to a certain extent. It is the Clinton
:03:39. > :03:42.campaign's job and any campaign would do the same thing, to attack
:03:43. > :03:52.their arrival. The Clinton campaign has just come out with a new ad,
:03:53. > :03:55.attacking Donald Trump. I don't think we will hear them sit back and
:03:56. > :03:57.not point out these inconsistencies in the Championship campaign, they
:03:58. > :04:00.are glaring. I have never seen this before. I have never seen a campaign
:04:01. > :04:03.where the candidate for the presidency says one thing and the
:04:04. > :04:09.vice president John candidate says another thing. This is the second
:04:10. > :04:13.time this has happened between these two men -- vice presidential
:04:14. > :04:17.candidate. It happened over the Khan family as well. I would be surprised
:04:18. > :04:20.if the Democrats stop attacking, they only have three months until
:04:21. > :04:24.the election, they will do everything they can to make sure
:04:25. > :04:30.Hillary Clinton wins. Interesting times. Political strategists in high
:04:31. > :04:34.demand. Thank you for speaking to us from Washington, DC. We will stay
:04:35. > :04:37.with this story and this election cycle. Some people have decided they
:04:38. > :04:41.cannot vote for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. They are turning
:04:42. > :04:46.to a third-party candidate, you don't hear it that often the United
:04:47. > :04:51.States. Support for such an alternative is increasing. Let's
:04:52. > :04:56.take a look. This is a poll from YouGov. Yellow is the libertarian
:04:57. > :05:02.candidate and the green is the green candidate. They have been getting
:05:03. > :05:05.steadily more popular. We have more on these other people in the
:05:06. > :05:09.presidential race. And exactly what the impact may be.
:05:10. > :05:15.With all this talk of Championship and Clinton, you might not have
:05:16. > :05:19.heard of these two but they are also running for US president in this
:05:20. > :05:24.already unpredictable race, they could make an impact. With around
:05:25. > :05:28.225 million voters in the US, it is impossible to expect everyone to fit
:05:29. > :05:32.neatly into one of the two major parties. This year, more than ever,
:05:33. > :05:36.many voters are crying out for an alternative. It is almost impossible
:05:37. > :05:45.for a third-party candidate to win but third-party candidates can
:05:46. > :05:48.siphon off the balance in one or another state. That might be all
:05:49. > :05:50.that it takes. There are Republicans who won't vote for Donald Trump and
:05:51. > :05:54.Bernie Sanders supporters who say they won't be backing Hillary
:05:55. > :05:58.Clinton. The Libertarian party candidate Gary Johnson and the green
:05:59. > :06:02.party's Jill Steyn have actually picked up support in the polls.
:06:03. > :06:08.Right now you would expect to see them do the best. A lot of people
:06:09. > :06:12.saying they would vote for a third-party candidate and as they
:06:13. > :06:15.are reminded about the stakes of the election, reminded of why they
:06:16. > :06:19.usually vote the way they do, they will come home to their party and
:06:20. > :06:23.vote for their policy. Remember the 2000 election between George Bush
:06:24. > :06:28.and Al Gore? The one that made its way to the courts. There was a
:06:29. > :06:31.third-party candidate then, Ralph Nader, the Democrats blamed him for
:06:32. > :06:38.taking support away from them. And then there was 1992, Ross Perot was
:06:39. > :06:42.the third man standing against George Bush senior and Bill Clinton.
:06:43. > :06:46.In that race, Republicans blamed him for taking support from them. What
:06:47. > :06:49.might happen this year? This election, it could come down to
:06:50. > :06:53.whether disillusioned voters decide to go for the third-party candidate
:06:54. > :07:06.or stick with one of the major two all decide to stay at home.
:07:07. > :07:14.One topic on outside sport, the Olympics. Some news about the
:07:15. > :07:17.Russian team. Sports arbitrators at the Court of Arbitration for Sport
:07:18. > :07:22.to uphold the ban is on Russian weightlifters and 17 Russian rowers
:07:23. > :07:25.from the Rio Games. We are expected to get more news about which Russian
:07:26. > :07:30.athletes will be allowed to compete in the coming days. We will bring it
:07:31. > :07:34.to you. Earlier, the Olympic torch finally arrived in the city after
:07:35. > :07:38.being carried almost 20,000 kilometres all around Brazil. It is
:07:39. > :07:43.a year where sport in general has been embroiled in controversy. We
:07:44. > :07:46.have looked at the difficulties faced by the Olympic movement and
:07:47. > :07:48.considers how it can move on from them. He sent us this report from
:07:49. > :07:57.Rio. After a journey across from Brazil,
:07:58. > :08:02.this morning's arrival of the limbic torch in Rio was a symbolic moment
:08:03. > :08:07.coming two days' time it will be the focal point of the opening ceremony.
:08:08. > :08:10.It has been dominated by the Russian doping stand-off. The severe
:08:11. > :08:14.pressure of the Olympic International committee is meeting
:08:15. > :08:17.this week crisis of faith in its leadership. The most successful
:08:18. > :08:22.Olympian has told me the start of the sport can't come soon enough.
:08:23. > :08:25.Once the Games starts, they will be amazing performances from all
:08:26. > :08:29.countries, not just Team GB. Something we can all celebrate. And
:08:30. > :08:33.remember what the point of the Olympic Games is. It is about
:08:34. > :08:38.bringing the world together and celebrate sport. And not focusing on
:08:39. > :08:43.negative issues all the time. But at the Games was the billions it costs?
:08:44. > :08:47.London 2012 helped transform East London and most of the venues are in
:08:48. > :08:51.use but failed to make Britain a more active and nation. The Saatchi
:08:52. > :08:57.Winter games were the most expensive ever and arguably the most damaging,
:08:58. > :09:02.given the revelations of state sponsorship in doping. Rio has
:09:03. > :09:05.struggled with opposition, recession, zika virus, pollution and
:09:06. > :09:11.security. IOC President Thomas Bach has a pledge to reduce the cost of
:09:12. > :09:18.staging the games but some aren't -- some want others values prioritised.
:09:19. > :09:22.Sometimes it is linked to human rights abuses and corruption. If the
:09:23. > :09:27.IOC and International federations don't react, if they just continue
:09:28. > :09:32.as they do and say, well, we don't care, then it might be the end of
:09:33. > :09:36.the Olympic Games, at least as Games with a value, with a message to the
:09:37. > :09:39.world. What is laid down in the Olympic Charter. But in Rio, it is
:09:40. > :09:44.evident the Games remains big business with billions of crowns
:09:45. > :09:47.generated in sponsorship and broadcast revenue, each Olympic
:09:48. > :09:52.cycle -- billions of pounds. Some western cities still want to play
:09:53. > :09:58.host. Los Angeles, one of those bidding to secure the Games fourth
:09:59. > :10:02.2024. There is sustainability, infrastructure, Los Angeles has 97%
:10:03. > :10:07.of our venues already built. We only have to build one permanent venue,
:10:08. > :10:11.we have the facilities, we are a sporting town. 88% of our residents
:10:12. > :10:16.in our town wants to bring the Games back to the city of Los Angeles. The
:10:17. > :10:23.the women's football tournament began in only front of the queue in
:10:24. > :10:25.front -- a few hundred spectators. They hope it will provide the
:10:26. > :10:30.showcase that the Olympic movement now needs.
:10:31. > :10:36.One more updates that has just come in. In the past couple of minutes,
:10:37. > :10:41.from the International Olympic Committee. The members have voted to
:10:42. > :10:44.add the following sports to the sport.
:10:45. > :10:51.I am not sure what sport climbing is but we will find out. That is coming
:10:52. > :10:55.up. In a few minutes time, we will find out about these rare leopard
:10:56. > :11:07.cubs born in a zoo in England. Gas and electricity companies in the
:11:08. > :11:11.UK are to be forced by the energy regulator to introduce measures to
:11:12. > :11:15.reduce household bills. Jim says it includes a cap on prepayment meters
:11:16. > :11:18.that will save many customers around ?75 per year they are asking for
:11:19. > :11:22.clearer information on bills, wider range of tariffs and moves to
:11:23. > :11:26.encourage more people to switch suppliers. Let's hear more.
:11:27. > :11:34.Two thirds of us are paying too much for gas and electricity and the
:11:35. > :11:37.worst affected are 4 million people like Jay Winter with a prepayment
:11:38. > :11:45.meter, meters with less choice of tariffs and higher rates. Ever since
:11:46. > :11:52.I have been on a prepay meter costs have soared dramatically. I am
:11:53. > :11:59.topping it up ?250 per month, opposed to direct debit scheme, you
:12:00. > :12:03.would pay about ?100 - ?150. To spur competition for number of tariffs
:12:04. > :12:07.will be lifted and they will be a cap on prepayment prices, saving
:12:08. > :12:11.customers ?75 per year. And then 10 million people will be put on a
:12:12. > :12:15.database to be sent mail shots from suppliers, pushing them to switch.
:12:16. > :12:23.What we have got to do as an industry is help people engage in
:12:24. > :12:25.it. That is beholden on an energy supplier, internet switching site
:12:26. > :12:28.and on the regulator. We need to work together. But there is worry
:12:29. > :12:33.about being on a database and many can't be bothered to switch, even
:12:34. > :12:37.for a possible ?300 saving. I am too lazy to get on the internet and get
:12:38. > :12:41.change. I can't be bothered going through the hassle. I don't want
:12:42. > :12:45.people getting my information. If they can get hold of it, who else
:12:46. > :12:49.can, it is a bit scary. There are hundreds of pounds to be shaved off
:12:50. > :12:55.families' heating and energy bills, that is the expectation that often
:12:56. > :12:59.has now raised. There will be huge pressure to deliver. Or they will
:13:00. > :13:03.face calls for wider controls to put the lid on prices.
:13:04. > :13:08.They will be watching closely at these measures to get more people
:13:09. > :13:12.switching to cheaper deals. It is not clear whether they will work but
:13:13. > :13:16.it is worth a try. The question in a few years' time if they don't work
:13:17. > :13:20.is whether there should be a broader price cap to protect more people in
:13:21. > :13:24.the market, essentially. Success could depend on these, Smart meters,
:13:25. > :13:28.to help save energy and open the wave to special deals and faster
:13:29. > :13:47.switching, but it will be several years before we will have them.
:13:48. > :13:53.And Emirates air plane caught fire early and one firefighter was killed
:13:54. > :13:58.and it caused the closure of one of the world's busiest airports. What
:13:59. > :14:03.you will see next depends on where you live. If you are outside of the
:14:04. > :14:07.UK, world News America, Donald Trump in the headlines for a script from
:14:08. > :14:12.House Speaker, Paul Ryan. We will speak to his former communications

:14:16. > :14:20.the UK service sector will start we look at the possibility of cuts in
:14:21. > :14:25.interest rates. -- service sector. And we will look at.
:14:26. > :14:29.The US government has, for the first time, given permission to a private
:14:30. > :14:40.company to fly to the moon. The Federal aviation Administration
:14:41. > :14:44.gave clearance to moon express to land their washing machine sized
:14:45. > :14:46.vehicle on the moon that would take hubs across the lunar surface. But

:14:53. > :14:57.questions is the co-founder and Chairman of the company that has
:14:58. > :15:01.been given the green light. Wonderful to have you. Why do you
:15:02. > :15:05.want to land this vehicle and get permission to go to the moon?
:15:06. > :15:12.Landing on the moon is symbolic of what a small group of entrepreneurs
:15:13. > :15:17.are capable of doing. We are doing something only been doing by the
:15:18. > :15:19.superpowers, not UK, Germany, France. A small group of
:15:20. > :15:25.entrepreneurs are now capable of doing things that were just amazing.
:15:26. > :15:30.Imagine when we land on the moon, what we will do to benefit humanity.
:15:31. > :15:33.Whether it is bringing back helium three, for a clean energy source
:15:34. > :15:38.that could power this planet for generations to come. The top line we
:15:39. > :15:43.have on it is that you got this permission from the FAA to be able
:15:44. > :15:47.to go but I did not even know that somebody has the rights over space.
:15:48. > :15:51.That you would even need to get permission, tell me about that.
:15:52. > :15:59.Every country is part of outer space Treaty. Part of that is to not
:16:00. > :16:03.interfere with each other's country's mission. In some senses,
:16:04. > :16:08.private companies have never asked and nobody even imagined a small
:16:09. > :16:12.private company would do that, there was no infrastructure. The United
:16:13. > :16:16.States really had to fit in for us, exclusively, that when we land on
:16:17. > :16:19.the moon, next year, they have to make sure the United States is in
:16:20. > :16:23.compliance with the Outer space Treaty. And to make sure that we do
:16:24. > :16:27.everything that they would have done as a government. Which is not to
:16:28. > :16:32.contaminate the moon or to contaminate birth when we come back.
:16:33. > :16:36.Not to step on the heritage site where Neil Armstrong put his
:16:37. > :16:40.footsteps. We requested exactly the same thing of the United States. To
:16:41. > :16:45.protect our mission and make sure that we are exploring the moon is
:16:46. > :16:49.nobody, no other country or company can interfere. It is an amazing
:16:50. > :16:54.business. I never thought before, but of course it is a heritage site
:16:55. > :16:59.where Neil Armstrong put the flag on the moon, you will have to watch out
:17:00. > :17:04.for that. This non-contamination is interest in. What do you think will
:17:05. > :17:10.be your biggest challenge? -- is interesting. What keeps you awake at
:17:11. > :17:14.night? In some sense it is the rocket science. Well understood
:17:15. > :17:19.rocket science. Is the only thing we are doing is to make sure we can
:17:20. > :17:22.finish raising the last bit of money so we have already invested $30
:17:23. > :17:30.million looking for the last $25 million. To rephrase John F.
:17:31. > :17:36.Kennedy, we chose to go to the moon not because it is easy but because
:17:37. > :17:41.it is a good business. Squadron gems worth of minerals, platinum grade
:17:42. > :17:45.minerals, water that is fuel for the rocket and fuel for humanity.
:17:46. > :17:49.Imagine when we land on the moon, we can become a multi-pantry society,
:17:50. > :17:55.colonise the moon is the first stepping stone. And then we can go
:17:56. > :18:00.to the Mars -- a multi-planetary Society. We will have a plan B in
:18:01. > :18:04.place. Imagine if you are the dinosaurs and had no plan B, a small
:18:05. > :18:09.asteroid hit the planet Earth and wiped out everything. They are
:18:10. > :18:12.rolling in their graves, they wished they had a great entrepreneur that
:18:13. > :18:18.they wished could have saved them. You are thinking people living on
:18:19. > :18:22.the moon at some point, colonise is your word? Absolutely. Our thinking
:18:23. > :18:27.is to bring resources back for the benefit of humanity but in the
:18:28. > :18:33.long-term, making the honeymoon, taking your honey to the moon, bring
:18:34. > :18:37.back not only platinum and rare earth elements but bringing moon
:18:38. > :18:42.rock. When somebody gets engaged, as opposed to giving someone a diamond,
:18:43. > :18:43.if you really love her, you give her the moon. Don't promise her the
:18:44. > :18:53.moon, give her the moon. Do you think you will raise the 25
:18:54. > :18:57.million before next year? No doubt in my mind. It will happen.
:18:58. > :19:05.As humans, we watched history being made. Rarely in life you get to the
:19:06. > :19:10.part of making history and there is no better way than joining a company
:19:11. > :19:14.that will go in the history books as someone who actually went out on
:19:15. > :19:18.this earth orbit and set up footsteps on the moon and made it
:19:19. > :19:25.possible for humans to live on the moon and Mars and Jupiter and

:21:24. > :21:29.in prison with my children. I had to pay money in order to get out. I put
:21:30. > :21:33.my life and my children's life on the line to come here.
:21:34. > :21:37.In this land, my children can go to school, they can live in peace. What
:21:38. > :21:46.else is there? There is joy for this group, they
:21:47. > :21:53.found safe passage. After travelling from countries across Africa
:21:54. > :21:58.including Gambia, Sudan and Nigeria, but over the last fortnight a dozen
:21:59. > :22:01.bodies a day have been washing up on the beaches of Libya. Near to the
:22:02. > :22:06.site of this rescue, another boat lay floating in the water,
:22:07. > :22:10.possession is still inside and no sign of what happened to those that
:22:11. > :22:15.were once in it. The International organisation for migration says that
:22:16. > :22:21.already this year internationally more than 4000 refugees and migrants
:22:22. > :22:23.have died and it is thought that around three quarters of them
:22:24. > :22:31.drowned here in the Mediterranean Sea. Medecins Sans Frontieres which
:22:32. > :22:33.operates this rescue ship is now refusing money from European
:22:34. > :22:39.governments because it says their policies are not helping refugees.
:22:40. > :22:46.I'm ashamed of being a European and seeing how Europe is treating these
:22:47. > :22:49.people. We hear about numerous people getting tortured, girls
:22:50. > :22:53.getting mass raped, people being sold into slavery.
:22:54. > :23:02.You see the people back home basically talking about we are
:23:03. > :23:06.bringing terrorists to Europe. You -- there have been attacks linked to
:23:07. > :23:10.refugees, are you worried that the governments and authorities in
:23:11. > :23:14.Europe are, if anything, going to become toxic in how they deal with
:23:15. > :23:18.this problem? They probably are, that is worrisome. I am terrified
:23:19. > :23:23.they will be tougher because right now, people are suffering. They are
:23:24. > :23:28.suffering a lot. Some are looking to Europe as a place where they can
:23:29. > :23:32.simply build a better life. I'm going to Europe to work. Europe is
:23:33. > :23:36.obviously a place where a lot of people are going to, at the moment.
:23:37. > :23:42.Do you think there is room for everyone? You know, I am a
:23:43. > :23:48.Christian, I believe in peace. Everybody is not the same. I believe
:23:49. > :23:53.my luck will shine. But the medical staff say it clear to them that many
:23:54. > :23:59.who have come through Libya have suffered. The patients we see, there
:24:00. > :24:03.are some very harrowing tales of abuse that has happened. People have
:24:04. > :24:10.been forcibly imprisoned. They carry many injuries from that. Whatever
:24:11. > :24:17.they are leaving behind, rescue is a moment of relief. A time to savour,
:24:18. > :24:19.because this journey is only the start. Europe will bring its own
:24:20. > :24:27.challenges. Two Amur leopards, believed
:24:28. > :24:29.to be the world's rarest big cat, have been born
:24:30. > :24:40.at Twycross Zoo in Leicestershire. It is thought by the rarest big cat
:24:41. > :24:44.species in the world. Only about 70 left in the world. Born five weeks
:24:45. > :24:50.ago and have already made an appearance in public. The second
:24:51. > :24:55.pair born to their mother. Their father is called Davidoff, new
:24:56. > :24:58.additions in that zoo in the UK. Thanks for watching, back with you
:24:59. > :25:01.again tomorrow, I hope you join us.
