It is an hour of international news, live in the BBC newsroom.

:00:07.:00:16.

Portugal's former Prime Minister Antonio Guterres looks set to be

:00:17.:00:19.

the next Secretary-General of the United Nations.

:00:20.:00:22.

After hitting Haiti, Hurricane Matthew is moving

:00:23.:00:25.

towards the Bahamas and the US south coast -

:00:26.:00:27.

where tens of thousands of people have been told evacuate their homes.

:00:28.:00:32.

Just over 35 million Americans tuned in to watch the men who want to be

:00:33.:00:36.

He said, if I run for president, I will absolutely release my taxes. He

:00:37.:00:54.

has broken his first promise. He went to an incredibly difficult

:00:55.:01:00.

time, he used the tax code as it should be used, and brilliantly.

:01:01.:01:04.

Anthony circa will -- Anthony Zurcher will assess their

:01:05.:01:05.

performances. British Prime Minister Theresa May

:01:06.:01:07.

has addressed her first Conservative Party

:01:08.:01:09.

Conference as leader. We've been finding out how she's

:01:10.:01:10.

been received. If you have stories, suggestions or

:01:11.:01:18.

questions, you can get the unsocial media, use the hashtag, and the

:01:19.:01:24.

e-mail address is available through the Apple. -- you can get me on

:01:25.:01:26.

social media. This is Antonio Guterres,

:01:27.:01:31.

and he is almost certain to be the next Secretary-General

:01:32.:01:33.

of the United Nations. He's a former Prime

:01:34.:01:37.

Minister of Portugal. A formal vote at the UN

:01:38.:01:40.

Security Council tomorrow will But there seems to be

:01:41.:01:42.

total agreement. Russia's UN ambassador

:01:43.:01:49.

Vitaly Churkin said The US's representative

:01:50.:01:51.

called the process Nada Tawfik is at

:01:52.:01:56.

the UN in New York. There will be people watching in

:01:57.:02:16.

Portugal who know all about him, but for everyone else, introduces to the

:02:17.:02:21.

man we will see a lot of? Absolutely. Antonio Guterres was a

:02:22.:02:26.

politician in Portugal, made his way all the way up to being Prime

:02:27.:02:30.

Minister. Spent some time in the European Commission, in fact.

:02:31.:02:37.

Between 2005 and 2015, he led the UN refugee agency. We had a number of

:02:38.:02:42.

diplomats mentioning how that experience will be really key if he

:02:43.:02:50.

gets confirmed as the next as they have recommended today. He basically

:02:51.:02:54.

oversaw the agency at a time when we have 65 million people displaced

:02:55.:02:57.

around the world, the worst refugee crisis and to World War II. Antonio

:02:58.:03:01.

Guterres basically told diplomats when he spoke in front of the

:03:02.:03:06.

General Assembly to say that his personal mission will be to prevent

:03:07.:03:09.

conflict. Looking at social media, lots of

:03:10.:03:13.

people are looking at the fact that he is evidently not a woman, many

:03:14.:03:17.

people thought it was time the UN was led by a woman.

:03:18.:03:23.

There have been 15 member states and civil society lobbying for a female

:03:24.:03:28.

UN Secretary-General for the first time. Seven of the 13 original

:03:29.:03:33.

candidates were women. But when we saw through the informal straw

:03:34.:03:38.

polls, and this was the sixth, women never led any of them. There was a

:03:39.:03:42.

bit of disappointment, because several people paid lip service to

:03:43.:03:45.

the fact that it was high time for a woman to hold the top job at the UN,

:03:46.:03:50.

but they never voted that way, but never really materialised. On the

:03:51.:03:54.

other hand, we are seeing lots of people saying that, it is not a

:03:55.:04:00.

woman, you need a candidate with the right qualities. They can't deny

:04:01.:04:05.

that Mr Guterres has the right qualifications. But there is the

:04:06.:04:07.

disappointment that after all the lobbying and lip service to the

:04:08.:04:11.

point that there should finally be a woman at the helm of the UN after a

:04:12.:04:16.

man on the job, it has not materialised.

:04:17.:04:20.

Just to be clear, the process has not been completed, but with the UN

:04:21.:04:24.

Security Council coming behind Antonio Guterres, it is almost

:04:25.:04:28.

certain he will take over in the job.

:04:29.:04:31.

Throughout the programme you can see the hashtag, where you can find me

:04:32.:04:35.

in social media and the e-mail address. Those are all on screen. By

:04:36.:04:43.

all means get into it. -- get in touch.

:04:44.:04:44.

Hurricane Matthew has reached the Bahamas and the US will be next.

:04:45.:04:48.

Peter Gibbs from BBC weather who is sitting just behind his desk said

:04:49.:04:54.

that the eye of the storm is to the west of the Bahamas at the moment,

:04:55.:04:57.

it is certain to hit those islands. This is the latest forecast map

:04:58.:04:59.

released by the US The hurricane is expected to reach

:05:00.:05:02.

Florida in the next 24 hours - Hundreds of thousands of people have

:05:03.:05:06.

been told to evacuate. And while the hurricane moves on,

:05:07.:05:15.

in Haiti, the work continues to recover from it.

:05:16.:05:18.

The BBC's Nick Bryant is in Haiti's capital,

:05:19.:05:20.

Port-au-Prince, and Disaster must often seem like a way

:05:21.:05:32.

of life for the hard-pressed people of Haiti. This morning, victims of

:05:33.:05:39.

Hurricane Matthew were trying to make this treacherous river crossing

:05:40.:05:44.

by foot. A journey that, on Monday, they could make by car. The bridge

:05:45.:05:48.

linking the main road from the capital to the worst affected

:05:49.:05:52.

communities in the south of this country has been washed away. It has

:05:53.:05:56.

severed this town in half and severely hampered the relief effort.

:05:57.:06:02.

Homes have been swamped by the deluge of rain. And destroyed by 140

:06:03.:06:09.

mph winds. This shanty dwellings only just managed to survive the

:06:10.:06:13.

hurricane force winds. The just a few yards away in what now looks

:06:14.:06:18.

like wasteland, the homes of four families were washed away as the

:06:19.:06:24.

floodwaters rushed down the valley. These are the people made homeless,

:06:25.:06:28.

the children whose features seem continually blighted by tragedy. The

:06:29.:06:34.

epicentre of the 2010 earthquake was a short drive away. It is not just

:06:35.:06:37.

sorrow they are feeling, but despair.

:06:38.:06:44.

The children have just started school, she told me, and their new

:06:45.:06:48.

uniforms were washed away. This storm has left a trail of third

:06:49.:06:54.

World -- third World destruction, and this impoverished country is

:06:55.:06:55.

struggling to cope. I can access all the information

:06:56.:07:04.

coming through the BBC newsroom and show it to you as it comes to us on

:07:05.:07:12.

the Outside Stores screen. Without breaking news concerning Barack

:07:13.:07:16.

Obama and the Paris climate accord. He has said that the ratification of

:07:17.:07:21.

the Paris climate accord, fresh old nations officially reached on

:07:22.:07:24.

Wednesday, he is calling it an historic day in the fight against

:07:25.:07:28.

climate change. He gave a statement earlier, B play use.

:07:29.:07:32.

This agreement will help delay or avoid some of the worst consequences

:07:33.:07:38.

climate change. It will help other nations ratchet down their dangerous

:07:39.:07:43.

carbon emissions over time and set bold targets as technology advances,

:07:44.:07:48.

all under a strong system of transparency allowing each nation to

:07:49.:07:53.

evaluate the progress of all other nations. And by sending a signal

:07:54.:07:57.

that this will be our future, a clean energy future, it opens the

:07:58.:08:00.

floodgates for businesses and scientists and engineers to unleash

:08:01.:08:06.

hi-tech, low carbon investment and innovation on a scale we have never

:08:07.:08:11.

seen before. This gives us the best possible shot to save the one planet

:08:12.:08:15.

we've got. We had stories from Washington, New

:08:16.:08:16.

York and Haiti. Next we will bring you up to date

:08:17.:08:23.

with UK politics. Ryman is a Theresa May has given a major speech to the

:08:24.:08:27.

Conservative Party conference, the first time she has addressed to as

:08:28.:08:32.

leader of the Conservative Party -- Prime Minister Theresa May. The

:08:33.:08:34.

message is that change has to come to the UK. In some ways it is

:08:35.:08:39.

inevitable because of Brexit, Norman Smith pulled out one quote from

:08:40.:08:43.

Theresa May when she said that Brexit was acquired revolution. I

:08:44.:08:47.

have a clip from the Prime Minister's speech where she expands

:08:48.:08:50.

on that. The referendum was not just a bowled

:08:51.:08:56.

to withdraw from the EU, it was something broader, something that

:08:57.:08:59.

the European Union had come to represent. It is about a sense,

:09:00.:09:06.

deep, profound and, let's face it, often justified, that many people

:09:07.:09:11.

have today, that the world works well for a privileged few but not

:09:12.:09:16.

for them. It was a vote and not just to change Britain 's nation ship

:09:17.:09:20.

with the European Union, but to call for a change in the way our country

:09:21.:09:24.

works. And the people for whom it works forever.

:09:25.:09:30.

Knock on almost any door in almost any part of the country and you will

:09:31.:09:34.

find the roots of that revolution laid back.

:09:35.:09:39.

Rob Watson assessed the speech for us. Every politician has one big

:09:40.:09:47.

idea, and Theresa May's big idea is that somehow the referendum changed

:09:48.:09:50.

everything, and the interesting thing is her solution. What has been

:09:51.:09:55.

fascinating, depending on your point of view, she has either decided to

:09:56.:09:59.

put herself at the head, as one person put it, of an angry mob of 70

:10:00.:10:05.

million Leave voters or, as I think she sees it, to somehow come to the

:10:06.:10:09.

rescue of capitalism and free markets. You are absolutely right,

:10:10.:10:16.

we lack a lot of the detail, but I think that is what she is trying to

:10:17.:10:19.

do, it is to say, OK, we understand the Leave voters were angry not just

:10:20.:10:24.

about the EU but all sorts, and this is extraordinary for a Conservative

:10:25.:10:27.

politician, we have to have state intervention to deal with injustice

:10:28.:10:32.

and unfairness. How it works out, she has set herself an incredibly

:10:33.:10:36.

high bar, she will be this champion of the working classes. In about a

:10:37.:10:40.

year, people like me and the voters of Britain will be saying, what have

:10:41.:10:44.

you done, though? At the heart of this, inevitably,

:10:45.:10:51.

will be how the UK economy performs. This Tweet from the Washington Post

:10:52.:10:53.

highlighted... Theresa May bragged about Britain

:10:54.:10:54.

being world's fifth-largest economy. After her speech,

:10:55.:10:56.

it dropped to sixth. That is because of the relative

:10:57.:11:02.

weakness of the pound and the way that economies are measured in

:11:03.:11:07.

exchange rate terms. It highlights her day-to-day economic pressures?

:11:08.:11:12.

Absolutely. We have seen some thing extraordinary this week, the

:11:13.:11:15.

transformation of Theresa May. She was on the side of Remain. No shoes

:11:16.:11:20.

and a few zested cheerleader for Brexit. At the Conservative Party,

:11:21.:11:25.

perfectly understandably, all week they have tried to create SQ 74

:11:26.:11:30.

Brexit as a big new opportunity, but lurking in the background, and you

:11:31.:11:35.

were talking about the data on the economy, businesses are hugely

:11:36.:11:40.

worried, both once based here and multinational businesses. They do

:11:41.:11:45.

not have the optimism about Brexit. Add to that, all of Britain's allies

:11:46.:11:49.

remain of the view that it was a thoroughly bad idea. This all comes

:11:50.:11:54.

back to money, and very specifically the City. One of the meetings I went

:11:55.:11:58.

to at the Conservative Party conference, somebody want that the

:11:59.:12:01.

Government could be losing vast numbers of billions of pounds of

:12:02.:12:07.

revenue. To go back to Theresa May's promises, she promised good

:12:08.:12:13.

government, government intervening on behalf of the less well off, the

:12:14.:12:16.

working class. To do that, as you well know, you need money.

:12:17.:12:18.

By all accounts Donald Trump's running mate Mike Pence came out

:12:19.:12:21.

on top in the vice presidential debate last night.

:12:22.:12:23.

If you disagree with that, you can see the contacts

:12:24.:12:26.

Certainly he did a good job of fending off the multiple

:12:27.:12:30.

We'll discuss how he did that in a moment.

:12:31.:12:33.

Certainly the fact-checkers had a busy time.

:12:34.:12:34.

Let me interrupt you and finish my sentence, if I can.

:12:35.:12:57.

Donald Trump can't start it were to war with Miss universe without

:12:58.:13:00.

shooting himself in the food. He loves dictators, he has a personal

:13:01.:13:06.

Mount Rushmore, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, Muamba Gaddafi and Saddam

:13:07.:13:10.

Hussein. Did you work on that one for a long time, it had a lot of

:13:11.:13:16.

very creative lines in it. Donald Trump, if he had said all of the

:13:17.:13:19.

things you said in the way you said he said them, he would not have a

:13:20.:13:24.

fraction of the insults that Hillary Clinton levelled when she said that

:13:25.:13:29.

half of our supporters were a basket of deplorables.

:13:30.:13:34.

Ronald Reagan said something very interesting about nuclear

:13:35.:13:38.

proliferation in the 80s, some fool or maniac could trigger a

:13:39.:13:41.

catastrophic event. I think that is Governor Pence's running mate,

:13:42.:13:46.

exactly who president Reagan wanders about. That is even beneath you and

:13:47.:13:52.

Hillary Clinton, that is pretty low. Donald Trump has built a business,

:13:53.:13:56.

through hard times and good. He has brought extraordinary business

:13:57.:13:59.

acumen. Do you want a your hired president

:14:00.:14:03.

in Hillary Clinton, or read your fired president in Donald Trump?

:14:04.:14:12.

Almost immediately something has happened. Anthony Zurcher 's posting

:14:13.:14:17.

analysis online. His analysis was headlined, who won the vice

:14:18.:14:21.

president shall debate? Let's ask in what he thinks, he is alive with us

:14:22.:14:27.

on outside source. It was an accomplished performance by Mike

:14:28.:14:31.

Pence, whatever your politics? It was. Mike Pence has a background as

:14:32.:14:37.

a conservative host in the 90s, beyond just being a politician. His

:14:38.:14:41.

style and experience showed in that debate. Tim Kaine was overly

:14:42.:14:49.

aggressive his attacks, Mike Pence was calm, measured until and was

:14:50.:14:52.

able to answer the questions or shrug them off however best he

:14:53.:14:57.

could. He had a very good style and manner that I think this on Tim

:14:58.:15:01.

Kaine, whenever Tim Kaine tried to throw a Donald Trump quoted him he

:15:02.:15:06.

said, he said, he never said that, or you are misrepresenting them. I

:15:07.:15:09.

think fact checkers will go through and say, yes, Donald Trump praised

:15:10.:15:15.

blood Amir Putin or endorse nuclear proliferation to places like Japan

:15:16.:15:19.

and South Korea. In the context of the debate, stylewise, changing the

:15:20.:15:24.

subject and trying to clear the parent turn the page, Mike Pence was

:15:25.:15:29.

very effective. We have said that everyone is

:15:30.:15:33.

welcome to e-mail in question is, we have one which says, why on earth

:15:34.:15:37.

did Hillary not just choose Bernie Sanders as her running mate?

:15:38.:15:44.

I think that she wanted to try to run as a moderate, somewhere in the

:15:45.:15:49.

middle, to appeal not only to liberals but to disaffected moderate

:15:50.:15:52.

Republicans. Bernie Sanders would not have been able to do that. Tim

:15:53.:16:02.

Kaine, however, is moderate and from a swing state, Virginia. I think

:16:03.:16:06.

picking him has made Virginia say for Hillary Clinton. In hindsight it

:16:07.:16:09.

might have been a better choice to pick somebody who was more of a

:16:10.:16:15.

liberal firebrand like Bernie Sanders, or Elizabeth Warren from

:16:16.:16:17.

Massachusetts, who could activate the base and get young voters,

:16:18.:16:21.

because that is a weakness of Hillary Clinton, but she picked the

:16:22.:16:26.

safe pick in Tim Kaine, somebody is steady and perhaps unremarkable, but

:16:27.:16:35.

it is the type of pic you make when you are ahead and you think you need

:16:36.:16:38.

not to take risks. Thank you, that was Anthony live

:16:39.:16:39.

from Washington, DC. We'll hear why a case brought

:16:40.:16:40.

by The Marshall Islands It related to American nuclear tests

:16:41.:16:43.

in the forties and fifties. We will hear about that from the

:16:44.:16:50.

Hague. We will explain in a few minutes.

:16:51.:18:02.

I Ros Atkins, this is outside source, live in the BBC newsroom.

:18:03.:18:08.

The former Prime Minister of Portugal, Antonio Guterres, is said

:18:09.:18:13.

to be the next UN Secretary-General after almost unanimous approval at

:18:14.:18:14.

the UN Security Council. BBC World Service radio reports

:18:15.:18:18.

that this year's Nobel Prize for chemistry has been awarded

:18:19.:18:20.

to three European scientists. They were honoured for their work

:18:21.:18:23.

on what's been described as the world's smallest machines -

:18:24.:18:26.

these are molecules with controllable movements,

:18:27.:18:28.

which can be used to perform tasks Colombia's President has extended

:18:29.:18:31.

a ceasefire with the FARC rebel Government negotiators are also

:18:32.:18:38.

trying to salvage the peace agreement with the FARC that was

:18:39.:18:42.

rejected in a national referendum. Now to trains - Ethiopia

:18:43.:18:45.

and Djibouti have launched the first fully electrified railway

:18:46.:19:02.

line in Africa. It will link landlocked Addis Ababa

:19:03.:19:06.

to the port of Djibouti - that's a stretch of more

:19:07.:19:09.

than 750 miles. As full capacity, goods will be

:19:10.:19:25.

transported across the two countries in less than half a day, greatly

:19:26.:19:30.

improving freight delivery for landlocked Ethiopia. At least 3000

:19:31.:19:34.

people will travel between the capitals every day on the passenger

:19:35.:19:40.

line. What more do you ask? Sub-Saharan African setting, I think

:19:41.:19:48.

we have gone to show something new. Over next humans the train will

:19:49.:19:52.

undergo test runs before becoming fully operational. Already plans are

:19:53.:19:57.

under way for initial -- additional lines to connect Ethiopia to its

:19:58.:20:00.

other neighbours as the country increases its infrastructure.

:20:01.:20:05.

Spot the man at the end of that report was an enormous phone, I

:20:06.:20:08.

don't think they are for sale in the UK.

:20:09.:20:14.

It is the Paris motor show, we have a report from Theo Leggett. If you

:20:15.:20:17.

have been to the most watched videos, this has been part their

:20:18.:20:22.

flowers. It is about the cars he has found and the different

:20:23.:20:26.

technological features they have. At the Paris motor show there are

:20:27.:20:30.

literally hundreds of new cars, large and small, absolutely hi-tech

:20:31.:20:33.

and state-of-the-art. I know what you were thinking, which has the

:20:34.:20:38.

best cup-holders? I will find out, let's start with the new Land Rover

:20:39.:20:42.

Discovery. Newly launched at the show. Let's take a peek. Nice

:20:43.:20:49.

spacious interior, all very hi-tech. Apparently there is Wi-Fi in this

:20:50.:20:54.

car. What about the cup-holders? I can't see them. Underneath here,

:20:55.:20:58.

there they are. There is room for my bottle and cup and, look at this,

:20:59.:21:04.

under here we have a fridge. That is imaginative. So I give this seven

:21:05.:21:07.

out of ten. This is one of the most exciting

:21:08.:21:11.

cars at the show, if I were able to drive one it would do wonders for my

:21:12.:21:20.

social life if nothing else, a new Ferrari which is made up of carbon

:21:21.:21:23.

fibre, 800 horsepower, a Formula 1 style gearbox, it looks absolutely.

:21:24.:21:26.

There are really 200 being made and they have all been sold already.

:21:27.:21:31.

Here is the Porter point, it has all of these features, but where do I

:21:32.:21:36.

put my cupboard my bottle of water? Excitement, ten out of ten,

:21:37.:21:41.

cup-holders, zero out of ten. I think we have cracked it with the

:21:42.:21:45.

Peugeot Traveller, it is a six seater. It is going to the passenger

:21:46.:21:51.

compartment. Lots of room, where the cup-holders? If I lived that are

:21:52.:21:57.

becoming here we go. Room for my cupboard bottle. Here is the clever

:21:58.:22:03.

bit, I can eat my dinner -- dinner flat.

:22:04.:22:07.

Ten out of ten! That is a serious cup-holder, no doubt.

had to give these islanders, 50,000 people, credit for that tenacity,

taking three of the UN's nuclear giants to court. They were hoping to

their suffering, it realise why this was an important issue to the

islanders because of everything that happened in history, this was not

:23:55.:23:58.

the place for them to seek justice, because this court, inside the

Marshall Islands failed to prove there was a dispute before they
