:01:32. > :01:33.and he is almost certain to be the next Secretary-General
:01:34. > :01:37.of the United Nations. He's a former Prime

:02:17. > :02:21.Portugal who know all about him, but for everyone else, introduces to the
:02:22. > :02:26.man we will see a lot of? Absolutely. Antonio Guterres was a
:02:27. > :02:30.politician in Portugal, made his way all the way up to being Prime
:02:31. > :02:37.Minister. Spent some time in the European Commission, in fact.
:02:38. > :02:42.Between 2005 and 2015, he led the UN refugee agency. We had a number of
:02:43. > :02:50.diplomats mentioning how that experience will be really key if he
:02:51. > :02:54.gets confirmed as the next as they have recommended today. He basically
:02:55. > :02:57.oversaw the agency at a time when we have 65 million people displaced
:02:58. > :03:01.around the world, the worst refugee crisis and to World War II. Antonio
:03:02. > :03:06.Guterres basically told diplomats when he spoke in front of the
:03:07. > :03:09.General Assembly to say that his personal mission will be to prevent
:03:10. > :03:13.conflict. Looking at social media, lots of
:03:14. > :03:17.people are looking at the fact that he is evidently not a woman, many
:03:18. > :03:23.people thought it was time the UN was led by a woman.
:03:24. > :03:28.There have been 15 member states and civil society lobbying for a female
:03:29. > :03:33.UN Secretary-General for the first time. Seven of the 13 original
:03:34. > :03:38.candidates were women. But when we saw through the informal straw
:03:39. > :03:42.polls, and this was the sixth, women never led any of them. There was a
:03:43. > :03:45.bit of disappointment, because several people paid lip service to
:03:46. > :03:50.the fact that it was high time for a woman to hold the top job at the UN,
:03:51. > :03:54.but they never voted that way, but never really materialised. On the
:03:55. > :04:00.other hand, we are seeing lots of people saying that, it is not a
:04:01. > :04:05.woman, you need a candidate with the right qualities. They can't deny
:04:06. > :04:07.that Mr Guterres has the right qualifications. But there is the
:04:08. > :04:11.disappointment that after all the lobbying and lip service to the
:04:12. > :04:16.point that there should finally be a woman at the helm of the UN after a
:04:17. > :04:20.man on the job, it has not materialised.
:04:21. > :04:24.Just to be clear, the process has not been completed, but with the UN
:04:25. > :04:28.Security Council coming behind Antonio Guterres, it is almost
:04:29. > :04:31.certain he will take over in the job.
:04:32. > :04:35.Throughout the programme you can see the hashtag, where you can find me

:04:49. > :04:54.Peter Gibbs from BBC weather who is sitting just behind his desk said
:04:55. > :04:57.that the eye of the storm is to the west of the Bahamas at the moment,
:04:58. > :04:59.it is certain to hit those islands. This is the latest forecast map

:05:03. > :05:06.Florida in the next 24 hours - Hundreds of thousands of people have
:05:07. > :05:15.been told to evacuate. And while the hurricane moves on,

:05:40. > :05:44.Hurricane Matthew were trying to make this treacherous river crossing
:05:45. > :05:48.by foot. A journey that, on Monday, they could make by car. The bridge
:05:49. > :05:52.linking the main road from the capital to the worst affected
:05:53. > :05:56.communities in the south of this country has been washed away. It has
:05:57. > :06:02.severed this town in half and severely hampered the relief effort.
:06:03. > :06:09.Homes have been swamped by the deluge of rain. And destroyed by 140
:06:10. > :06:13.mph winds. This shanty dwellings only just managed to survive the
:06:14. > :06:18.hurricane force winds. The just a few yards away in what now looks
:06:19. > :06:24.like wasteland, the homes of four families were washed away as the
:06:25. > :06:28.floodwaters rushed down the valley. These are the people made homeless,
:06:29. > :06:34.the children whose features seem continually blighted by tragedy. The
:06:35. > :06:37.epicentre of the 2010 earthquake was a short drive away. It is not just
:06:38. > :06:44.sorrow they are feeling, but despair.
:06:45. > :06:48.The children have just started school, she told me, and their new
:06:49. > :06:54.uniforms were washed away. This storm has left a trail of third

:07:33. > :07:38.This agreement will help delay or avoid some of the worst consequences

:07:49. > :07:53.all under a strong system of transparency allowing each nation to

:08:07. > :08:11.hi-tech, low carbon investment and innovation on a scale we have never
:08:12. > :08:15.seen before. This gives us the best possible shot to save the one planet
:08:16. > :08:16.we've got. We had stories from Washington, New
:08:17. > :08:23.York and Haiti. Next we will bring you up to date
:08:24. > :08:27.with UK politics. Ryman is a Theresa May has given a major speech to the
:08:28. > :08:32.Conservative Party conference, the first time she has addressed to as
:08:33. > :08:34.leader of the Conservative Party -- Prime Minister Theresa May. The
:08:35. > :08:39.message is that change has to come to the UK. In some ways it is
:08:40. > :08:43.inevitable because of Brexit, Norman Smith pulled out one quote from
:08:44. > :08:47.Theresa May when she said that Brexit was acquired revolution. I
:08:48. > :08:50.have a clip from the Prime Minister's speech where she expands
:08:51. > :08:56.on that. The referendum was not just a bowled
:08:57. > :08:59.to withdraw from the EU, it was something broader, something that
:09:00. > :09:06.the European Union had come to represent. It is about a sense,
:09:07. > :09:11.deep, profound and, let's face it, often justified, that many people
:09:12. > :09:16.have today, that the world works well for a privileged few but not
:09:17. > :09:20.for them. It was a vote and not just to change Britain 's nation ship
:09:21. > :09:24.with the European Union, but to call for a change in the way our country
:09:25. > :09:30.works. And the people for whom it works forever.
:09:31. > :09:34.Knock on almost any door in almost any part of the country and you will
:09:35. > :09:39.find the roots of that revolution laid back.
:09:40. > :09:47.Rob Watson assessed the speech for us. Every politician has one big
:09:48. > :09:50.idea, and Theresa May's big idea is that somehow the referendum changed
:09:51. > :09:55.everything, and the interesting thing is her solution. What has been
:09:56. > :09:59.fascinating, depending on your point of view, she has either decided to
:10:00. > :10:05.put herself at the head, as one person put it, of an angry mob of 70
:10:06. > :10:09.million Leave voters or, as I think she sees it, to somehow come to the
:10:10. > :10:16.rescue of capitalism and free markets. You are absolutely right,
:10:17. > :10:19.we lack a lot of the detail, but I think that is what she is trying to
:10:20. > :10:24.do, it is to say, OK, we understand the Leave voters were angry not just
:10:25. > :10:27.about the EU but all sorts, and this is extraordinary for a Conservative
:10:28. > :10:32.politician, we have to have state intervention to deal with injustice
:10:33. > :10:36.and unfairness. How it works out, she has set herself an incredibly
:10:37. > :10:40.high bar, she will be this champion of the working classes. In about a
:10:41. > :10:44.year, people like me and the voters of Britain will be saying, what have
:10:45. > :10:51.you done, though? At the heart of this, inevitably,
:10:52. > :10:53.will be how the UK economy performs. This Tweet from the Washington Post
:10:54. > :10:54.highlighted... Theresa May bragged about Britain
:10:55. > :10:56.being world's fifth-largest economy. After her speech,
:10:57. > :11:02.it dropped to sixth. That is because of the relative
:11:03. > :11:07.weakness of the pound and the way that economies are measured in
:11:08. > :11:12.exchange rate terms. It highlights her day-to-day economic pressures?
:11:13. > :11:15.Absolutely. We have seen some thing extraordinary this week, the
:11:16. > :11:20.transformation of Theresa May. She was on the side of Remain. No shoes
:11:21. > :11:25.and a few zested cheerleader for Brexit. At the Conservative Party,
:11:26. > :11:30.perfectly understandably, all week they have tried to create SQ 74
:11:31. > :11:35.Brexit as a big new opportunity, but lurking in the background, and you
:11:36. > :11:40.were talking about the data on the economy, businesses are hugely
:11:41. > :11:45.worried, both once based here and multinational businesses. They do
:11:46. > :11:49.not have the optimism about Brexit. Add to that, all of Britain's allies
:11:50. > :11:54.remain of the view that it was a thoroughly bad idea. This all comes
:11:55. > :11:58.back to money, and very specifically the City. One of the meetings I went
:11:59. > :12:01.to at the Conservative Party conference, somebody want that the
:12:02. > :12:07.Government could be losing vast numbers of billions of pounds of
:12:08. > :12:13.revenue. To go back to Theresa May's promises, she promised good
:12:14. > :12:16.government, government intervening on behalf of the less well off, the
:12:17. > :12:18.working class. To do that, as you well know, you need money.
:12:19. > :12:21.By all accounts Donald Trump's running mate Mike Pence came out
:12:22. > :12:23.on top in the vice presidential debate last night.
:12:24. > :12:26.If you disagree with that, you can see the contacts
:12:27. > :12:30.Certainly he did a good job of fending off the multiple
:12:31. > :12:33.We'll discuss how he did that in a moment.
:12:34. > :12:34.Certainly the fact-checkers had a busy time.
:12:35. > :12:57.Let me interrupt you and finish my sentence, if I can.
:12:58. > :13:00.Donald Trump can't start it were to war with Miss universe without
:13:01. > :13:06.shooting himself in the food. He loves dictators, he has a personal
:13:07. > :13:10.Mount Rushmore, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, Muamba Gaddafi and Saddam
:13:11. > :13:16.Hussein. Did you work on that one for a long time, it had a lot of
:13:17. > :13:19.very creative lines in it. Donald Trump, if he had said all of the
:13:20. > :13:24.things you said in the way you said he said them, he would not have a
:13:25. > :13:29.fraction of the insults that Hillary Clinton levelled when she said that
:13:30. > :13:34.half of our supporters were a basket of deplorables.
:13:35. > :13:38.Ronald Reagan said something very interesting about nuclear
:13:39. > :13:41.proliferation in the 80s, some fool or maniac could trigger a
:13:42. > :13:46.catastrophic event. I think that is Governor Pence's running mate,
:13:47. > :13:52.exactly who president Reagan wanders about. That is even beneath you and
:13:53. > :13:56.Hillary Clinton, that is pretty low. Donald Trump has built a business,
:13:57. > :13:59.through hard times and good. He has brought extraordinary business
:14:00. > :14:03.acumen. Do you want a your hired president
:14:04. > :14:12.in Hillary Clinton, or read your fired president in Donald Trump?
:14:13. > :14:17.Almost immediately something has happened. Anthony Zurcher 's posting
:14:18. > :14:21.analysis online. His analysis was headlined, who won the vice
:14:22. > :14:27.president shall debate? Let's ask in what he thinks, he is alive with us
:14:28. > :14:31.on outside source. It was an accomplished performance by Mike
:14:32. > :14:37.Pence, whatever your politics? It was. Mike Pence has a background as
:14:38. > :14:41.a conservative host in the 90s, beyond just being a politician. His
:14:42. > :14:49.style and experience showed in that debate. Tim Kaine was overly
:14:50. > :14:52.aggressive his attacks, Mike Pence was calm, measured until and was
:14:53. > :14:57.able to answer the questions or shrug them off however best he
:14:58. > :15:01.could. He had a very good style and manner that I think this on Tim
:15:02. > :15:06.Kaine, whenever Tim Kaine tried to throw a Donald Trump quoted him he
:15:07. > :15:09.said, he said, he never said that, or you are misrepresenting them. I
:15:10. > :15:15.think fact checkers will go through and say, yes, Donald Trump praised
:15:16. > :15:19.blood Amir Putin or endorse nuclear proliferation to places like Japan
:15:20. > :15:24.and South Korea. In the context of the debate, stylewise, changing the
:15:25. > :15:29.subject and trying to clear the parent turn the page, Mike Pence was
:15:30. > :15:33.very effective. We have said that everyone is
:15:34. > :15:37.welcome to e-mail in question is, we have one which says, why on earth
:15:38. > :15:44.did Hillary not just choose Bernie Sanders as her running mate?
:15:45. > :15:49.I think that she wanted to try to run as a moderate, somewhere in the
:15:50. > :15:52.middle, to appeal not only to liberals but to disaffected moderate
:15:53. > :16:02.Republicans. Bernie Sanders would not have been able to do that. Tim
:16:03. > :16:06.Kaine, however, is moderate and from a swing state, Virginia. I think
:16:07. > :16:09.picking him has made Virginia say for Hillary Clinton. In hindsight it
:16:10. > :16:15.might have been a better choice to pick somebody who was more of a
:16:16. > :16:17.liberal firebrand like Bernie Sanders, or Elizabeth Warren from
:16:18. > :16:21.Massachusetts, who could activate the base and get young voters,
:16:22. > :16:26.because that is a weakness of Hillary Clinton, but she picked the
:16:27. > :16:35.safe pick in Tim Kaine, somebody is steady and perhaps unremarkable, but
:16:36. > :16:38.it is the type of pic you make when you are ahead and you think you need
:16:39. > :16:39.not to take risks. Thank you, that was Anthony live

:20:39. > :20:42.best cup-holders? I will find out, let's start with the new Land Rover
:20:43. > :20:49.Discovery. Newly launched at the show. Let's take a peek. Nice
:20:50. > :20:54.spacious interior, all very hi-tech. Apparently there is Wi-Fi in this
:20:55. > :20:58.car. What about the cup-holders? I can't see them. Underneath here,
:20:59. > :21:04.there they are. There is room for my bottle and cup and, look at this,
:21:05. > :21:07.under here we have a fridge. That is imaginative. So I give this seven
:21:08. > :21:11.out of ten. This is one of the most exciting
:21:12. > :21:20.cars at the show, if I were able to drive one it would do wonders for my

:21:46. > :21:51.Peugeot Traveller, it is a six seater. It is going to the passenger
:21:52. > :21:57.compartment. Lots of room, where the cup-holders? If I lived that are
:21:58. > :22:03.becoming here we go. Room for my cupboard bottle. Here is the clever
:22:04. > :22:07.bit, I can eat my dinner -- dinner flat.

:22:16. > :22:18.They are quite hard to see. Australia is at the bottom of the
:22:19. > :22:18.map. And in the 1940s and 50s,
:22:19. > :22:21.the US carried out Much more recently the Islands
:22:22. > :22:24.brought a case against Britain, The allegation was that they failed
:22:25. > :22:28.to stop the spread Today the case was thrown out
:22:29. > :22:34.at the International Court This is the former Foreign Minister
:22:35. > :22:38.of the Islands speaking about the impact of the tests
:22:39. > :22:50.a few months ago. Several islands in my country were
:22:51. > :22:56.vaporised. And others are estimated to remain uninhabitable for
:22:57. > :22:59.thousands of years. Many, many people in the Marshall Islands died
:23:00. > :23:03.and suffered birth defects never before seen, and battled cancer is
:23:04. > :23:13.resulting from contamination. Tragically, the Marshall Islands
:23:14. > :23:14.Bears eyewitness to the human thick -- horrific capacity of these
:23:15. > :23:15.weapons. Anna Holligan's covering
:23:16. > :23:16.this in the Hague. I got her to explain why the case
:23:17. > :23:28.is against these three Because they are signatories to this
:23:29. > :23:31.court, the UN's highest court, the International Court of Justice. You
:23:32. > :23:37.had to give these islanders, 50,000 people, credit for that tenacity,
:23:38. > :23:43.taking three of the UN's nuclear giants to court. They were hoping to
:23:44. > :23:46.get support and to reignite the nuclear disarmament debate. The
:23:47. > :23:50.court said that although it empathised and sympathised with
:23:51. > :23:54.their suffering, it realise why this was an important issue to the
:23:55. > :23:58.islanders because of everything that happened in history, this was not
:23:59. > :24:02.the place for them to seek justice, because this court, inside the
:24:03. > :24:06.glorious peace Palace, deals with disputes between states, and the
:24:07. > :24:11.Marshall Islands failed to prove there was a dispute before they
:24:12. > :24:18.lodged this action in 2014. What is the American position on the
:24:19. > :24:19.complaints made by the Marshall Islands?
:24:20. > :24:24.They don't recognise the jurisdiction of the ICJ. It was not
:24:25. > :24:27.able to proceed against them. Compensation has been paid critics
:24:28. > :24:32.have said that this whole legal action in the Hague has been a
:24:33. > :24:36.distraction from the victims' real concerns about better health care
:24:37. > :24:41.and more compensation, that kind of thing. To give you a sense of scale,
:24:42. > :24:46.Marshall Islands, in terms of the pact of these nuclear tests, you
:24:47. > :24:52.remember Hiroshima in 1945, the 6th of August, the US detonated an
:24:53. > :24:56.atomic bomb, 130,000 people were killed in the Japanese city. One of
:24:57. > :25:01.the tests in the Marshall Islands was 75 times as powerful as that.
:25:02. > :25:05.You can understand why they took this action. Unfortunately for the
:25:06. > :25:11.disarmament campaigners and the Marshall Islands is onside, it has
:25:12. > :25:15.failed and been thrown out by the ICJ today.
:25:16. > :25:20.Thank you. If you have just joined as some breaking news a few minutes
:25:21. > :25:24.ago, President Obama is saying that a threshold of nations have now
