We'll begin in France, where the authorities are clearing | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
the huge migrant camp known as the jungle. | :00:13. | :00:20. | |
Their motivation for coming to Calais was once all about that final | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
destination, but now many are ready to go anywhere just to get out. | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
Polling stations in Florida have opened for early voting | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
Katty Kay will be live to explain why this | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
state matters so much - and to sift through | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
Theresa May holds talks with the leaders of Northern Ireland, | :00:43. | :00:45. | |

And where you were watching, whether on BBC world News sport in the UK, | :00:49. | :01:01. | |
you are welcome to post questions for us to pick up on. | :01:02. | :01:15. | |
The migrant camp known as the Jungle is in Calais | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
If we drew in closer on the map, you can see how close it is to the | :01:21. | :01:29. | |
centre of Calais. And today the French | :01:30. | :01:30. | |
authorities are clearing it. At least 7000 people | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
have been living there - often in squalid conditions, | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
and most of them That's not going to happen | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
in the short-term. These are pictures from today | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
of people queued to be processed They're then put on buses and taken | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
to locations all over France. Let's start by hearing some of those | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
who are having to move. The life here is no good. Where I | :01:57. | :02:14. | |
was in the Jungle, but I chose to go, it's better. I like the UK, | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
everything is there because I am living before in the UK. I expect to | :02:22. | :02:31. | |
find peace and quiet. I think about my future in Europe here. | :02:32. | :02:44. | |
French Interior Ministry has been distributing these pamphlets, which | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
have been translated into nine different languages to explain what | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
is happening today. Once migrants reach one of these | :02:53. | :03:07. | |
welcome centres, they can apply for asylum there if they want to. People | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
are being sent all over the country, and if you see the numbers in the | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
white circles, they are the facilities they have at the moment, | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
so Britney has a facility for 160 people. The number in the red circle | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
is what needs to be reached by the end of the year, so clearly there is | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
an issue of capacity which France will have to address. There is also | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
the immediate problem that not everyone wants to leave Calais. One | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
aid worker explains why. There are about 2000 people who will decide to | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
stay in Calais and continue to go towards their families in the UK. | :03:52. | :03:52. | |
She has given me an update on the progress made by this operation. We | :03:53. | :04:05. | |
are still going on the figures we were given mid-afternoon when we | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
were told that 40 buses had left but we are being told there are more | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
buses lined up over here and they are expected to pull more migrants | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
out to those centres later tonight. If they reach their goal of 2500, | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
something around that, people transported to date, that will leave | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
about two thirds more to be moved out over the coming days. The | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
government is hoping this operation can be completed by the end of the | :04:37. | :04:37. | |
week. Around 200 children have come | :04:38. | :04:38. | |
to the UK from Calais so far. Some have been taken | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
to a residential centre in Devon. The British government | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
says all of them are It is a world away | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
from the Calais Jungle. In the early hours of this morning, | :04:50. | :05:00. | |
20 young migrants arrived at a respite centre | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
here in North Devon. The exact location isn't | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
being revealed, but the youngsters, all of them boys, | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
are now having medical checks before decisions | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
are taken about where they go next. In the ancient market town | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
of Great Torrington, some feel proud that their community | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
is now hosting children It's not their doing, | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
it's not their fault, and I mean, I've got a little chap of my own, | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
and ultimately you just want any child to be safe, | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
and if we've got the ability We're a local, small, | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
close-knit community, But this man told me | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
many locals are angry that the child migrants have been brought | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
here without public consultation. Send them back where they come from, | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
why's it our problem? Can't look after our own, | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
so why look after everybody else? Apparently they won't be | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
here for very long, Wednesday, I was told, but that's | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
two days too long, isn't it? 200 child migrants have come to | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
the UK from Calais in the last week. Initially, they are processed | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
at a complex in Croydon before being sent to residential centres | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
like the one in Devon. It's the Home Office | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
rather than local councils Tonight the Government said | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
the youngsters included 60 girls When children arrive in the UK, | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
the first question is to establish whether they have family members | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
that they could go and stay with Younger children will tend | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
to go pretty quickly into the care of a foster | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
family, because we always try to make sure they are | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
in a supportive family environment. Older children, who may be school | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
leavers and may have been living independently in another country | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
before they came to Britain, are more likely to go | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
into independent accommodation, a bit like university | :06:49. | :06:49. | |
halls of residence. It's hoped most of the | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
children who've arrived here in the south-west | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
of England today may only be Either they'll be reunited | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
with their families elsewhere in the UK or put into care | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
as part of a national scheme. And the operation taking place at | :07:02. | :07:19. | |
the Jungle in Calais is due to carry on into tomorrow. We will continue | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
to cover that. Now just over two weeks to the US | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
election and I want to show a few polling figures - | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
first off ABC give Hillary Clinton a 12 point | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
lead and put her at 50% Whereas the BBC poll | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
of polls actually show 47 to Hillary Clinton, 43 to Donald | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
Trump. Hillary Clinton in | :07:43. | :07:51. | |
New Hampshire today. Just last night he tweeted that the | :07:52. | :08:06. | |
new effort under way to push the terrorists out of the key city of | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
Mozilla is already, and I quote, a total disaster, and that our country | :08:11. | :08:21. | |
is looking so dumb. Imagine, imagine, this is a guy who says he | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
knows more about Isis than the generals. I don't think so. He's | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
basically declaring defeat before the battle has even started. He's | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
proving to the world what it means to have an unqualified | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
commander-in-chief. It's not only wrong, it's dangerous. | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
Here is a tweet from Fox News's Chris Snyder, quoting Donald Trump | :08:50. | :09:00. | |
at a rally earlier. "You gotta get out | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
the message you gotta vote. If we win Florida, | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
we win the election" - The reason there is a huge emphasis | :09:05. | :09:14. | |
on turnout is that from today people in Florida can vote under the early | :09:15. | :09:15. | |
voting system. Here's a little more | :09:16. | :09:16. | |
from his rally - on polling. When the polls are even, when they | :09:17. | :09:24. | |
leave them alone and do them properly I'm leading, that you see | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
these polls, where the polling Democrats, Trump is down, they are | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
polling Democrats. This system is corrupt and its raked and it's | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
broken, and we're going to change it. Let's talk too catty Quay, who | :09:43. | :09:51. | |
is live in Washington, DC. I feel like I shouldn't have to ask this, | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
but presumably when the pollsters contact people, they don't just | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
contact Democrats. No, they don't. There are debates about whether some | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
polling organisations skew Democrat and Republican and whether the | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
samples of people they use are more heavily weighted one way or the | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
other but when Donald Trump was ahead in the polls for all those | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
months, especially in the primary process, when he was against | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
Republican opponents, he was happy to talk about the polls. He led his | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
rallies with how far ahead he was in the polls and there was no | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
implication he thought they were wrecked. Now that he is behind in | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
most polls he doesn't seem to trust them as much, and there is one poll | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
out from the investor 's business daily which is Donald Trump tied | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
with Hillary Clinton but it is the only one per he is tired, he is | :10:49. | :10:56. | |
behind in the others. A BBC viewer wants to ask what exactly is early | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
voting. Some states allow people to vote early, to cast their ballot in | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
the state, we have at in our higher, North Carolina, now Florida. It has | :11:09. | :11:16. | |
been open to charges that it can be manipulated, it doesn't happen on | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
polling day and some people like the experience of going along on polling | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
day. There hasn't been any evidence that there is more manipulation of | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
early voting than polling day itself. There are charges that its | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
cues more one-way, more Republicans vote early than Democrats. Some of | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
the data from the early polling stage seemed to suggest Democrats | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
have voted early in slightly larger numbers than Republicans. It also | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
doesn't seem there is a massive amount more early voting going on | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
this time than in other years, some states more, some states less. I | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
read Hillary Clinton saying she didn't want to keep responding to | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
Donald Trump's criticism and wanted to focus on the policies, but it's a | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
difficult balance to strike when you were at the front runner. They | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
always attack each other, a big chunk of politics is taken up with | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
putting down their opponent. It was true during the primary process. She | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
talks about her platform but he talks about his policies as well, | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
but both of them spent a large chunk of those rallies talking about their | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
opponent and white they are unfit to be commander-in-chief. I'm going to | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
fly to land out tomorrow to listen to a Donald Trump rally in the | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
afternoon and I'm sure he'll do the same thing about Hillary Clinton. | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
Hopefully we can speak to you while you're doing that. We will get live | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
updates every day from now until election day. We heard Hillary | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
Clinton talking about what Donald Trump has been saying about the | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
battle for Two. -- Mosul. Iraqi and Kurdish Peshmerga troops | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
are leading this offensive The most significant development | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
today comes from the Kurds. This shows the town | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
of Bashiqa - it's north east of Mosul and crucial to supply | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
routes into the city. They tried to seize at last week but | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
weren't able to. That doesn't mean they're | :13:23. | :13:37. | |
in control, though. We will be paying attention to what | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
happens there. I also want to highlight Rutba, | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
in the west of Iraq. Quite possibly to divert attention | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
and resources from Mosul. It did something similar | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
by attacking Kirkuk on Friday. We will keep you up to date on this | :13:55. | :14:06. | |
battle between the Kurdish pressure murder and the Iraqi forces and ISI | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
crossed the wake putt hash murder. What -- and in a few minutes I will | :14:13. | :14:22. | |
play you are programme on Syrian refugee children who were employed | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
illegally in Turkey and working on clothes sent in the UK. | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
Senior doctors have produced a list of 40 treatments and procedures | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
which they say offer little or no benefit to patients. | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
The list includes X-rays for lower back pain and plaster casts | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
for children with small wrist factures. | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges says it wants | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
to reduce the number of unnecessary treatments. | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
Sue Bailey is chair of the academy of Medical Royal Colleges, | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
She says it's aimed at educating both patients and doctors. | :14:55. | :15:03. | |
We have drawn up a list of these treatments so doctors can sit down | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
with patients to look at the treatment is of little or no | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
benefit, because some of these can be time-consuming and invasive. | :15:15. | :15:23. | |
There are simpler and as safe options, so why wouldn't you? | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
Because I think what we've got is a culture of "We can do | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
something, therefore we should do something." | :15:30. | :15:30. | |
We need to stop and reflect and decide what is the best | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
option for the patient in their individual circumstances. | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
That is what true personalised care is all about. | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom. | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
The French authorities say they are satisfied with the start | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
of the operation to empty the migrant camp | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
Officials say they've achieved their target | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
of evacuating 2000 people on the first day. | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
But perhaps 7000 live there so this will take some time. Let's turn to | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
stories from the BBC World Service. BBC Mundo reports that opposition | :16:06. | :16:06. | |
politicians in Venezuela are accusing President Maduro | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
of a coup d'etat after he blocked a proposed referendum | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
on him remaining in power. In China a large explosion has | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
destroyed part of a town Pictures on social media show | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
the building has collapsed - leaving a huge crater | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
and the nearby streets destroyed. Local media suggest the blast may | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
have been caused by explosives The leaders of Scotland, | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
Wales and Northern Ireland talking to Theresa May British Prime | :16:28. | :16:40. | |
Minister about Brexit. Each nation has its own wish list | :16:41. | :16:42. | |
when it comes to exactly It's fair to say there is some | :16:43. | :17:41. | |
tension around what Theresa May is planning and what leaders of the | :17:42. | :17:42. | |
regions feel. Wales' First Minister Carwyn Jones | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
tweeted, "If UK Gov can't negotiate position with devolved nations | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
little hope of negotiating a good #Brexit deal | :17:51. | :17:52. | |
with 27 countries #JMC". The Prime Minister takes | :17:53. | :17:53. | |
a more optimistic view. Theresa May gave a statement | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
in the House of Commons earlier. She outlined a series | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
of parliamentary debates before and after Christmas, | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
but on the issue of parliament getting to debate her | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
negotiating position... The government must not show its | :18:07. | :18:17. | |
hand in detail as we enter into these negotiations. | :18:18. | :18:25. | |
But it is important that members have this opportunity to speak on | :18:26. | :18:38. | |
the issues that matter to their constituents as we make our | :18:39. | :18:39. | |
preparations to leave the EU. Rob Watson is BBC UK | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
political correspondent. Here he is on the Brexit | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
debate within the UK. It is certainly true that Scotland, | :18:44. | :18:55. | |
Wales and Northern Ireland have a different view of Theresa May so | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
far, they are keen to stay in the single market, they want commitments | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
and they are not getting them. What is she saying publicly? Or the other | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
utterances, she says she is not saying. I have been thinking, how | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
would I explain this? Theresa May is famous for saying Brexit means | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
Brexit, I now know what it means, but I think what we have learnt is | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
that it comes down to who you believe. The reason they and the | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
government are saying here is what we want, free trade, trade in | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
services and capital but not free movement of people, and until this | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
point the EU has been saying you will never get that, you can't have | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
all the bits you like about the EU, and that is where we are, who do you | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
believe is likely to get what they want, Theresa May or the EU? I was | :19:51. | :19:58. | |
struck when the Prime Minister was asked by a Labour MP why pursuing | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
hard-pressed, she said we are not. You can make this as complicated or | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
as simple as you like, but what Theresa May is saying is hard | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
Brexit, we just want all the bits about the EU that we liked and not | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
the bits we don't like, and negotiations with the other 27 will | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
be about whether that is possible and at the moment they are saying no | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
chance, you cannot have that. Rob was talking about free trade. | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
This free trade deal between Canada and the European Union | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
is still struggling to get over the finishing line. | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
It's called CETA and Belgium says it can't support it because three | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
TRANSLATION: The Walloon government, the Brussels government, the | :20:45. | :20:59. | |
Wallonian Brussels Federation and the French community commission have | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
responded negatively and not given their mandate to sign CETA, and as a | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
result I will again called Donald Tusk to officially inform him of | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
this decision. It's got a socialist government | :21:12. | :21:12. | |
and wants stronger safeguards on labour, environmental | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
and consumer standards. This has been seven | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
years in the making. We are still seeing some optimism | :21:21. | :21:35. | |
from Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, Saint with the | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
Canadian Prime Minister they still think Thursday's Summit is possible. | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
Big deal in its own right but the EU is also trying to cut | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
a new trade deal with the US - so this is relevant. | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
Let's bring in Michelle Fleury. We call it TTIP but where have we got | :21:52. | :22:00. | |
to with it. I think people are looking at this deal and seeing how | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
far down the road the EU and the Canadians have reached before | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
hitting a roadblock and they worry that of the still cannot go through, | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
what does it vote for the likelihood of TTIP passing? That is the | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
message, as things currently stand the EU doesn't seem to be able to | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
get a deal. That is the message some politicians in Canada are putting | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
out. It is hard to see this as a positive sign for TTIP, which has | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
struggled to win approval and what has been interesting is that | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
typically in the past you have seen objections from American labour | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
groups to this sort of deal, but in this instance it has been European | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
workers who has objections to the deal. Thank you, Michelle, we will | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
talk about that before the end of the year. | :22:57. | :22:57. | |
An investigation by the BBC's Panorama programme has discovered | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
Syrian refugee children are making clothes for major brands | :23:01. | :23:02. | |
The brands include Marks and Spencer, Zara and ASOS. | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
They in turn have said they don't tolerate exploitation | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
It's 8am in Istanbul and Syrian refugees are hoping to be hired. | :23:08. | :23:20. | |
So you can see there, just across the street, | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
what we think is the middleman, selecting his crew for today's work. | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
They are dropped off at a factory that makes clothes | :23:32. | :23:39. | |
They don't have work permits, so they can only work illegally. | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
After a long shift, they are paid on the street. | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
Some get little more than ?1 an hour, well below | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
I meet up with one of them later, to find out what clothes | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
TRANSLATION: I don't remember the names exactly, | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
Marks Spencer said our findings were "Extremely serious", | :24:10. | :24:26. | |
It is offering permanent legal employment to all affected | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
The situation with refugees in Turkey is complex, | :24:33. | :24:44. | |
but critics say that big brands have to take responsibility. | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
It's not enough to say, "We didn't know about this, | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
They have a responsibility to monitor and to understand | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
where their clothes are being made and what conditions | :24:58. | :24:59. | |
We also found younger children at work. | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
We go inside this workshop, posing as the owners | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
of a new fashion business, and we immediately spot something. | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
And on the factory floor, we find Syrian children at work. | :25:12. | :25:20. | |
ASOS says it has zero tolerance for child labour. | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
The company accepts its clothes were made here but says | :25:26. | :25:27. | |
We are identifying them because ASOS has offered to pay child workers | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
In total, Panorama found evidence of Syrian refugees working | :25:35. | :25:42. | |
illegally on clothes for five major brands. | :25:43. | :25:52. | |

I'll be back with you in a few minutes. It's that time of day where | :25:56. | :26:11. | |
we look at some interesting weather around the world. First off to the | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
