:01:06. > :01:21.European Union. 20 villages on the outskirts
:01:22. > :01:27.of Mosul have been taken. Iraqi forces are moving
:01:28. > :01:28.from the south, kurdish The ultimate goal
:01:29. > :01:36.is to free the city And IS has been resisting with
:01:37. > :01:41.rocket-fire and suicide attacks. Orla Guerin is with the Kurdish
:01:42. > :01:44.forces in the East. In the distance, Mosul,
:01:45. > :02:02.a city in waiting for deliverance It is the last bastion of IS in
:02:03. > :02:12.Iraq, but for how much longer? On the horizon today, black smoke
:02:13. > :02:16.from burning oil. The extremists trying to thwart
:02:17. > :02:18.attacks from the air, but as the net closes on so-called
:02:19. > :02:21.Islamic State the risks are increasing for those trapped
:02:22. > :02:23.down below in Mosul, there is the danger of coalition air
:02:24. > :02:26.strikes, IS could try to use the local population as human
:02:27. > :02:29.shields, and if and when Iraqi forces make it inside the city
:02:30. > :02:31.they could be caught This is what IS want you to see
:02:32. > :02:47.from inside Mosul, its latest propaganda video paints
:02:48. > :02:52.a picture of normality. The message is, all is well,
:02:53. > :02:54.anyone daring to say The television channels
:02:55. > :03:06.have been lying. One year ago, they were driven away
:03:07. > :03:21.by these air strikes, and troops from the Kurdish
:03:22. > :03:25.region, Peshmerga. They took us to see
:03:26. > :03:28.what IS could have in store Here, a home made chemical weapon,
:03:29. > :03:41.chlorine gas, crude but How many of these did
:03:42. > :03:46.you find? As the Peshmerga advanced
:03:47. > :04:01.deeper into IS territory, new insights below ground -
:04:02. > :04:05.this was captured yesterday. They built a bedroom
:04:06. > :04:07.to rest, he says. The extremists had the basics
:04:08. > :04:21.for survival hidden from view, the authorities hope
:04:22. > :04:23.that they are going to run out of hiding places over the next
:04:24. > :04:31.coming weeks and months. Hundreds of thousands of people
:04:32. > :04:33.still live in Mosul. Both internet access and phone
:04:34. > :04:39.reception has been poor under IS. Efforts to improve phone reception
:04:40. > :04:41.is making some progress, but as you'll see in this
:04:42. > :04:43.clip from the Pentagon, other means are needed
:04:44. > :04:50.to communicate with people. This is obviously a dangerous
:04:51. > :04:54.situation for civilians on the ground, and I know that one
:04:55. > :04:57.thing the Iraqi Government has been trying to do,
:04:58. > :05:00.is to reach to the residents of Mosul, both by radio broadcast
:05:01. > :05:03.and there was a drop of leaflets - thousands of leaflets in Mosul,
:05:04. > :05:05.and my understanding was that there may be as many
:05:06. > :05:09.as seven million leaflets dropped in the next 48 hours or so, to try
:05:10. > :05:13.and educate the population of Mosul, as to the safest way to conduct
:05:14. > :05:29.themselves, as this We have some pictures of families.
:05:30. > :05:37.These are some people who escaped a small town. They are making their
:05:38. > :05:46.move from Mosul. Many more people will flee in time. The UN has
:05:47. > :05:53.estimated that there could be a mass exodus of up to 700,000 people. You
:05:54. > :06:00.can get much more information on what is happening in Iraq and the
:06:01. > :06:07.historical factors playing out in that country on the BBC News
:06:08. > :06:09.website. Let's go to neighbouring Syria...
:06:10. > :06:11.Russian and Syrian warplanes have stopped air-strikes in Aleppo.
:06:12. > :06:13.Russia had planned a pause on Thursday - so this
:06:14. > :06:33.UN aid agencies had been pushing for a longer cessation -
:06:34. > :06:35.the Russians appear to have responded.
:06:36. > :06:40.Lessening of the violence, lessening of the fighting,
:06:41. > :06:42.any pause that's actually implemented will be
:06:43. > :06:50.We have been calling for at least a 48-hour ceasefire cessation
:06:51. > :07:00.of hostilities in order to get humanitarian aid in.
:07:01. > :07:08.The reason the Russians are talking about Eastern Aleppo is that is the
:07:09. > :07:13.area controlled by anti-government rebels. And that is the area being
:07:14. > :07:15.hit by these air strikes. Let's get you the latest on the US election
:07:16. > :07:17.campaign. Let me start with the carousel -
:07:18. > :07:20.the BBC's poll of polls - Hillary Clinton 51%
:07:21. > :07:32.Donald Trump at 41%. Trump has come in for some criticism
:07:33. > :07:34.from Barack Obama. He has reacted to claims that the campaign is being
:07:35. > :07:42.raped. He used Florida, which has
:07:43. > :07:52.a Republican governor, Using Florida as that place where
:07:53. > :07:57.there are people you have to watch out for. That is both
:07:58. > :08:02.irresponsible... And by the way doesn't really show the kind of
:08:03. > :08:05.leadership and toughness that you want out of a president. If you
:08:06. > :08:14.start whining before the game is even over... If whenever things are
:08:15. > :08:19.going badly for you and you lose you start blaming somebody else... Then
:08:20. > :08:26.you don't have what it takes to be in this job. A study has been
:08:27. > :08:30.looking at the reaction of the campaign. It seems what we have been
:08:31. > :08:40.seeing has been distorted by bots. It searched for hashtags associated
:08:41. > :08:59.with one candidate - The study analysed how many of these
:09:00. > :09:09.tweets, using these hashtags, have been made by bots. There were four
:09:10. > :09:14.times more positive hashtags made for Trump than there were for Mrs
:09:15. > :09:22.Clinton. But Trump received a higher number of support tweets without the
:09:23. > :09:25.bots being counted. More detailed: -- detail.
:09:26. > :09:36.We knew something would happen. We found both Clinton and Trump have a
:09:37. > :09:43.bot Army working to support them. It is difficult to say how many
:09:44. > :09:52.American voters were the bots. They give the impression that Trump is
:09:53. > :09:58.more popular on Twitter. Clinton's bots are more positive, they are
:09:59. > :10:03.about policies. Trump's bots, the ones that tweet in favour of Trump,
:10:04. > :10:07.are more negative. They tend to go after prominent female journalists.
:10:08. > :10:11.They tend to promote messages which are slightly racist or very racist.
:10:12. > :10:14.One extra story to tell you... Hillary Clinton's emails
:10:15. > :10:21.are back in the spotlight. FBI documents that have been
:10:22. > :10:24.released by the FBI. suggest that a State Department
:10:25. > :10:28.official pressured the FBI to change the classification
:10:29. > :10:35.of a Hillary Clinton email from classified -
:10:36. > :10:40.In return the State Department would allegedly accept an FBI
:10:41. > :10:42.request for extra agents at foreign diplomatic posts.
:10:43. > :10:47.The email was one of those from Mrs Clinton's private email server.
:10:48. > :10:57.We can talk to Kathie Kay about these stories. The FBI and the State
:10:58. > :11:01.Department denied any deal was done. Yeah. The State Department again
:11:02. > :11:06.pushing back against this when the story first came out. The FBI did a
:11:07. > :11:10.similar thing and said there was no question of a quid pro quo, that
:11:11. > :11:16.that hadn't been suggested, that it hadn't happened. You have both of
:11:17. > :11:20.those entities pushing back against it. From Trump's point of view
:11:21. > :11:24.displays into the idea that there is corruption in the system and that
:11:25. > :11:31.Hillary Clinton somehow has managed to game the system to her advantage
:11:32. > :11:37.and her supporters -- his supporters see this as more evidence, whatever
:11:38. > :11:42.the FBI are saying. Let's talk about Trump. He still has three weeks to
:11:43. > :11:47.turn things around. The polls may not be entirely accurate. What is
:11:48. > :11:51.his best route to the White House? I imagine a good performance in Las
:11:52. > :11:54.Vegas. Yes, tomorrow night in the debate, we will fly out tomorrow
:11:55. > :12:00.morning and cover the debate from there. He has to do well tomorrow
:12:01. > :12:04.night. And even more importantly, she has to do badly. He has got to
:12:05. > :12:09.try and do something to give this race a shake up. At the moment, as
:12:10. > :12:14.your polls are suggesting, his route to the White House looks narrow. He
:12:15. > :12:18.is just too far behind in all of those battle ground states to be
:12:19. > :12:22.able to confidently predict that he can win the presidency. All of the
:12:23. > :12:26.polls of polls, and the people who project these kinds of things, and
:12:27. > :12:33.have a pretty good track record, are putting her chances of winning much
:12:34. > :12:37.higher than his. Tomorrow night there will be another big audience.
:12:38. > :12:42.Millions will tune in. Partly because of the spectacle of these
:12:43. > :12:46.two and the fireworks we can expect in the final debate. Partly to see
:12:47. > :12:49.what their policies are, and partly to see how Trump responds after
:12:50. > :12:56.these allegations of sexual harassment against him. It will be
:12:57. > :13:04.an exciting debate. The last two debates have been pretty incendiary.
:13:05. > :13:08.We will get messages from viewers asking why you spending more time on
:13:09. > :13:12.Trump than Clinton. Would it be fair to say that Clinton is keeping a low
:13:13. > :13:17.profile, or is it just that the media is obsessing over Donald
:13:18. > :13:23.Trump? Clinton hasn't actually done any public appearances since last
:13:24. > :13:28.Friday. She's made a deliberate decision, she's done if you
:13:29. > :13:31.television interviews. She is targeting bespoke audiences,
:13:32. > :13:37.particularly female audiences. But she hasn't done one of those big
:13:38. > :13:41.rallies recently. Trump is making headlines by, partly with these
:13:42. > :13:44.allegations of sexual harassment against him, but also with his
:13:45. > :13:49.comments about the election being raped. These are the kind of
:13:50. > :13:58.comments we've not heard in the US from a president, so that is news.
:13:59. > :14:00.-- the election being rigged. This is why we are reporting these
:14:01. > :14:10.things, because they simply never happened before. Thanks very much.
:14:11. > :14:18.This is ahead of the debate tomorrow night. A little later we will talk
:14:19. > :14:21.about Chuck Berry. It is his 90th birthday and he has a gift for
:14:22. > :14:27.everyone, because he is releasing a new album. His first 438 years,
:14:28. > :14:30.which is a decent sized break by any measure. We will hear all about it.
:14:31. > :14:33.-- his first 38 years. A 15-year-old girl and her teenage
:14:34. > :14:36.boyfriend have been found guilty Elizabeth and Katie Edwards
:14:37. > :14:40.were murdered at their home in Spalding in
:14:41. > :14:43.Lincolnshire, in April. The pair who carried out the murder
:14:44. > :14:46.are thought to be the youngest defendants to be convicted
:14:47. > :14:49.of murder in a British court. The detective who led
:14:50. > :15:02.the investigation spoke This tragedy was distressing for all
:15:03. > :15:06.families involved. For Katie's school friends, for Elisabeth's
:15:07. > :15:11.colleagues, children, and friends in the school where she worked. As well
:15:12. > :15:15.as having a shocking impact on the wider community of Spalding. Today,
:15:16. > :15:20.a court has found a 15-year-old guilty of both murders. A teenage
:15:21. > :15:25.boy has also pleaded guilty to the same murders. What makes this case
:15:26. > :15:31.even more shocking is that these two were 14 when they planned, committed
:15:32. > :15:32.-- planned and committed these unprovoked attacks on Elizabeth and
:15:33. > :15:37.Katie. This is Outside Source live

:16:33. > :16:34.EU summit this week. It's in Brussels, starts
:16:35. > :16:36.Thursday, ends Friday. I'll be there with
:16:37. > :16:38.Outside Source throughout. Brexit isn't formally on the agenda,
:16:39. > :17:02.but of course it will be discussed. The BBC's Chief Correspondent
:17:03. > :17:27.Gavin Hewitt explains how After dinner, over coffee, they will
:17:28. > :17:31.turn to Theresa May and ask what you have in mind. Not what are your
:17:32. > :17:36.plans, but give us a broad view of how you see things developing. At
:17:37. > :17:39.the end of that there was not an expectation of everybody piling in
:17:40. > :17:44.and saying they don't agree, or they would like to see you push in that
:17:45. > :17:50.direction. But it is an opportunity to qualify some of the impressions
:17:51. > :17:53.that arose out of her conference speech when, certainly in Europe, it
:17:54. > :18:00.was interpreted as if Theresa May was, if you like, sacrificing the
:18:01. > :18:04.single market in favour of making controlling migration the priority.
:18:05. > :18:10.In Europe that was interpreted as hard Brexit. There have been some
:18:11. > :18:14.indications since negotiations between Cabinet ministers, which are
:18:15. > :18:18.still very much going on, and some in Europe have taken comfort from
:18:19. > :18:25.it. They will be listening closely to her language, even though this is
:18:26. > :18:30.I was at the last summit days after I was at the last summit days after
:18:31. > :18:35.the vote. It seemed that Europe were not giving any other option than
:18:36. > :18:41.hard Brexit. They knew that immigration had been a main driver
:18:42. > :18:46.in the Brexit vote. Quite right. The impression at the moment is one of
:18:47. > :18:50.consensus, of unity. They are taking quite a strong, firm line. They are
:18:51. > :18:55.not going to get picked on. One of their concerned is that the UK will
:18:56. > :18:59.start making the kind of concessions to one country or another. At the
:19:00. > :19:03.moment they are putting up a united front. Some countries, notably
:19:04. > :19:08.France, very, very strong about the idea that they need to be firm,
:19:09. > :19:12.disciplined. Not using the word punishment, but certainly there have
:19:13. > :19:19.to be consequences. That is what Francois Hollande is saying. That is
:19:20. > :19:25.the mood in Europe. There will have to be consequences. They are taking
:19:26. > :19:31.a firm line. This is very much a preliminary stage. They are not
:19:32. > :19:35.supposed to be in negotiations. We won't see negotiations until next
:19:36. > :19:39.year. At the moment the UK is putting forward its view without
:19:40. > :19:43.revealing its plan, and certainly the response from Europe is we are
:19:44. > :19:47.not going to make kind of concessions. We are not going to
:19:48. > :19:54.sacrifice freedom of movement in order to give you concessions over
:19:55. > :19:57.the market. Inevitably this is also about personality. What relationship
:19:58. > :20:03.does Theresa May have with the key players who will be there? It's
:20:04. > :20:10.early stage. A view she knew already through her previous job. She's been
:20:11. > :20:13.to see Angela Merkel. She's been to see some others. But at the moment
:20:14. > :20:18.they don't really know her. It's not like other leaders who have
:20:19. > :20:21.repeatedly gone to the summit who do know each other. They will be
:20:22. > :20:30.testing out what flexibility there is. And when they get to the
:20:31. > :20:34.negotiations in the New Year whether there will be a degree of give and
:20:35. > :20:40.take. Amongst people I talked, there is a belief that in the end it is in
:20:41. > :20:47.Europe's interest as the UK 's interest, for this to be a smooth
:20:48. > :20:54.process. -- amongst people I talk to. The language is as if there is
:20:55. > :20:59.going to be no meeting of minds. And that the UK will fall out of the EU
:21:00. > :21:04.and will have to rely on tariffs under WTO rules. I think we are too
:21:05. > :21:09.soon to say that. I would expect to see a real push at some stage to see
:21:10. > :21:13.if there was a way of keeping the UK as close as possible to the EU
:21:14. > :21:18.without compromising the results of the referendum that happened last
:21:19. > :21:23.year. On Wednesday I am heading to Brussels. On Thursday we will be
:21:24. > :21:28.live from this EU summit. We will also be broadcasting all day through
:21:29. > :21:40.BBC World News. Chuck Berry is going to be releasing
:21:41. > :21:43.an new album next year. -- His last one came
:21:44. > :21:56.out 38 years ago. Even better - the album will contain
:21:57. > :21:59.new tracks - not just covers. He chose a good day
:22:00. > :22:18.to announce this. Peter Bowes is carrying this. I
:22:19. > :22:24.suppose if you are Chuck Berry everybody is going to forgive the
:22:25. > :22:27.big break of 38 years. Yes. And it is a tantalising prospect for
:22:28. > :22:31.anybody who loves music, never mind the music of Chuck Berry, to hear
:22:32. > :22:39.what he has been created over the last nearly 40 years. The new album
:22:40. > :22:43.will simply be called Chuck. He has been in the studio over the last few
:22:44. > :22:47.decades determined to get this right. There have been long studio
:22:48. > :22:54.sessions. He has spent a long time on the writing of these new songs.
:22:55. > :23:02.We won't actually get to hear this album until next year. The actual
:23:03. > :23:06.tracks on the album, they are keeping them secret as to the nature
:23:07. > :23:15.of the songs. But according to his son, Charles Berry Jr, the songs
:23:16. > :23:18.will cover the spectrum of hard-driving rockers to soulful,
:23:19. > :23:33.thought-provoking time capsules of a life's work.
:23:34. > :23:36.The trade deal between the EU and Canada - or CETA -
:23:37. > :23:42.EU ministers meeting in Luxembourg have given up
:23:43. > :23:44.on signing it on Tuesday, which was an original aim.
:23:45. > :23:46.One of Belguim's regional parliaments - Wallonia -
:23:47. > :23:49.is blocking the agreement - amid worries it will undercut
:23:50. > :23:53.If Wallonia's concerns aren't dealt with - then the official signing
:23:54. > :23:55.ceremony due next week may need to be cancelled.
:23:56. > :23:57.Here's the EU trade commissioner on what the EU are doing
:23:58. > :24:01.If I didn't think we could solve the Belgian issue we wouldn't keep
:24:02. > :24:05.engaging with them. But the minister was there and gave his view. We are
:24:06. > :24:09.engaging with them. We will continue to do so.
:24:10. > :24:15.There were other countries who have specific problems. We are engaging
:24:16. > :24:20.with them in the same way, trying to see if there are ways we can solve
:24:21. > :24:25.it without reopening the treaty. That isn't even on the agenda. But
:24:26. > :24:29.if there are some things which can be sold through declarations or
:24:30. > :24:40.other items. Hopefully we will get there but we are not there yet.
:24:41. > :24:52.Everybody will be keeping an eye on this because it will affect the UK's
:24:53. > :24:58.trading in the future after Brexit. Now some business news...
:24:59. > :25:06.A pretty big surprise. People were expecting them to make 14 cents per
:25:07. > :25:11.share. They've surprised everybody by making 20 cents per share. This
:25:12. > :25:15.is being seen as good news. Normally at this time I would say what people
:25:16. > :25:23.will be looking forward to is the investor call when Yahoo speaks to
:25:24. > :25:26.their investors and analysts and answer their questions. They have
