Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source. | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
Really only one place for us to start. | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
Things are getting tighter in the States. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
If the focus Hillary Clinton and heard the e-mails it is not on | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
Donald Trump on his scandals, good news for him. Iraqi forces are | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
approaching the city limits of Mosul, trying to seize the city back | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
from the Islamic State group. Our Johnny I'Anson is with them and we | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
will send you his latest report -- our reporter is with them. Costs for | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
repairs run into the billions. We will run you a report from here. And | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
the story of a Bangladeshi woman who is being shamed online for a rape | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
that happened 15 years ago. We will play you that ends well. Across the | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
our we will return to the BBC newsroom in Washington is BBC and | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
Anthony Zurcher so if you have anything to do with the FBI story or | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
any other element of the campaigns, you can reach us here, by e-mail or | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
on social media as well. It might just before we go to the | :01:17. | :01:42. | |
USA, outside source is not on at the usual time, to do with the fact that | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
times change in the UK and the USA at different times in the year so | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
for one week only for some of you in a different place, we will be back | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
at the right time wherever you are in the world, soon. As we mentioned, | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
things are getting tighter in the race for the next president of | :02:03. | :02:03. | |
America. This is the latest poll of polls - | :02:04. | :02:03. | |
Hillary Clinton's lead You can see how the gap wading | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
through September and October and is now tightening up. Donald Trump is | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
on 46%, Hillary Clinton on 49%. A 3-point gap. | :02:18. | :02:17. | |
And this does not take into account the story that's dominating. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
The FBI announced on Friday that it's investigating a new cache | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
of emails that may be connected to Hillary Clinton. | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
Other candidates have turned to the issue in their rallies today. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
I'm sure a lot of you may be asking what this new e-mail story is about, | :02:32. | :02:44. | |
and why in the world the FBI would decide to jump into an election with | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
no evidence of any wrongdoing, with just days to go... That is one side | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
of things. Use the other. You have to give the FBI credit. It was so | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
bad what happened originally and it took guts for the director to make | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
the move that he made in light of the kind of opposition he had where | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
they are trying to protect her from criminal prosecution. You know that. | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
It took a lot of guts. I really disagreed with him. I was not his | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
fan, but I tell you what, what he did, he brought back his reputation. | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
Let's bring in Anthony Zurcher live from the BBC newsroom. You will be | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
with us across the hour on Outside Source. But Hillary Clinton says she | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
wants to understand why this was done days before the election. Are | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
we any closer to understanding that? I don't think so. We are getting | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
leaks from inside the FBI giving some details and apparently the FBI | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
had discovered these e-mails that may or may not be related to the | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
investigation to Hillary Clinton's private e-mails. The only got a | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
warrant to look at it earlier today so they had not looked at it. Or a | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
late last night, so they do not know what these e-mails are or have any | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
idea. All we know is that they might be related. James Corby sent a | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
letter to Congress saying he was keeping them up to date on it and | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
that is where we stand. All of this avalanche of speculation is coming | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
from that. Because there were so many questions, everybody was | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
surmising and guessing from the language of his letters. The whole | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
thing is just a big mess and this has happened so close to an | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
election. I think the concern is the FBI director would have had is that | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
this may have leaked out ahead of him, so without him putting his | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
letter and his side of the story out it could be an even bigger disaster. | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
But it is a pretty big mess right now anyway. What we have been | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
learning from you over the last few weeks, it is not so much about | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
support for one side or the other but more about turnout and the | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
impact these kind of stories can have? Exactly. That is what these | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
last few weeks are about, getting people to the polls. Both campaigns | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
know who their supporters will be and they will not see too many | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
shifting from one to the other. What could happen is some supporters | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
could get discouraged and stay home or could decide, I will not vote for | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
Hillary Clinton, I will vote for victory, Green Party, and avoid the | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
two major candidates. But some people are undecided between the two | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
camps, but they are so few that it is almost not relevant, for that | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
vote on November the 8th. We will be with you throughout the hour live | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
from the Washington newsroom of the BBC. Another question, what happens | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
if Hillary Clinton becomes president and is then found guilty of an | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
offence flitting to these e-mails whilst she is in the White House? A | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
question coming into us. -- relating to these e-mails. Yes, her husband | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives and tried | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
in the Senate. The procedure for removing a president from office. A | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
simple conviction or simple charges brought by the FBI would not be | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
enough. That is something that has to be handled by Congress. | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
Conceivably, if Hillary Clinton wins, she gets sworn in, then this | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
becomes a huge deal and all this new information comes out and there is | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
grounds for charging her with a crime, it would have to be handled | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
by Congress which, conceivably, will still be controlled by Republicans | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
and the House of Representatives, and perhaps by Democrat in the | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
Senate, but it would be at the enormous mess, the bottom line. And | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
Vinny, thank you for answering that question. Anthony will be live for | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
us across the hour. -- Anthony, thank you for answering. We have | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
comments from Belfast, from Warsaw, from lots of you watching the BBC | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
News channel from elsewhere in the world or the UK. You can use the | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
hashtag address you see in front of me on the screen. Or you can find me | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
on social media as well. We will be back with Anthony in ten or 15 | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
minutes' time. In the meantime we must turn to Iraq because there are | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
significant developments there. Iraqi forces are now | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
under 2km outside Mosul. They city's been held | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
by the Islamic State This approach is | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
coming from the east. Ian Pannell was with the Iraqi | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
troops as they attacked the last The final battle for | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Mosul is getting close. Many expected these troops to pause, | :07:34. | :07:46. | |
but that isn't what happened today. It has just gone 6am, | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
and as you can see, a large military We are with one section | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
of the counterterrorism force, and we are told there | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
was an armoured division that will move its way | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
through the desert. There a column of Special Forces | :07:59. | :08:07. | |
and a counterterrorism unit who will advance on the last two | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
villages before Mosul. We are also told that if they have | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
enough momentum and are able The roads have been laced with IEDs, | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
home-made bombs that The convoy picks its own path | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
through the desert. The armoured column has now moved | :08:21. | :08:36. | |
out of the desert in a flanking manoeuvre, | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
just going round the town of Bazwaya, which they | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
are trying to get to. We are in the lead vehicle | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
here with the commander Over there is the town of Bazwaya, | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
where they are going If they manage to get through there, | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
they will move even further We are moving along now | :08:51. | :09:05. | |
inside a heavily armoured vehicle. There are two soldiers in the front | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
here, and this man's foot belongs to a gunner up in the turret, | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
carrying large calibre weapons, into what they think | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
are Islamic State positions. We are now moving into the town | :09:15. | :09:31. | |
of Bazwaya, which will put us The troops fought | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
their way into Bazwaya. The last town standing | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
between the Iraqi government And the closer they get, | :09:42. | :09:42. | |
the fiercer the resistance. Units within the counterterrorism | :09:43. | :09:58. | |
unit have just advanced They have just opened attack | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
on what they think IS positions. We've just been told to get back | :10:01. | :10:16. | |
into the vehicles. They have another unit coming | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
from the other side of the town. Fighter jets are trying to give | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
them cover overhead. A very confused and dangerous | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
situation. The few families left | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
here have been trapped If they are ever to live in peace, | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
this campaign needs a plan Today has been a successful mission | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
for the counterterrorism forces. They managed to take the last town | :10:37. | :10:47. | |
before the city of Mosul. The operations have | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
stopped for today. They are now less than a mile | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
away from the heart More families homeless, | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
more lives lost, and the real Iraqi forces are now | :10:55. | :11:07. | |
less than a mile outside If you want to see that report again | :11:08. | :11:16. | |
or share it, you can find it on BBC News. | :11:17. | :11:17. | |
Geert Wilders is one of the most high profile Dutch politicians. | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
He's known for his anti-immigration policies. | :11:21. | :11:21. | |
Today he went on trial for for inciting racial hatred. | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
The charges relate to a rally 18 months ago when he led | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
a chant for fewer Moroccans in the Netherlands. | :11:28. | :11:28. | |
Geert Wilders wasn't in court today - but he's been on Twitter. | :11:29. | :11:37. | |
"NL has huge problem with Moroccans. To be silent about it is cowardly. | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
43% of Dutch want fewer Moroccans. No verdict will change that." | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
Anna Holligan covering the case for us. | :11:45. | :11:54. | |
The judge began by addressing Mr Wilders's absence. He was | :11:55. | :12:02. | |
represented in court by his lawyer. The judge said he was aware of | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
comments Mr Wilders had posted on social media and also a video | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
statement he released before the trial saying his comments were | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
justified. The Netherlands does want fewer Moroccans. They were | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
protected, he said, by his right to free speech, and should be judged in | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
Parliament, not caught. Then they played the footage. You can see Mr | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
Wilders onstage addressing a cafe full of supporters. He asks them... | :12:29. | :12:42. | |
TRANSLATION: He says this is a political trial and he is using it | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
to promote his political agenda which is antiestablishment and | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
anti-immigration and that matters because we are four months before | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
elections here and some pollsters say this trial could actually boost | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
his popularity -- he says this is not a political trial. The judge | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
could ask Mr Wilders to attend the hearings which are expected to last | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
for three weeks with the verdict due in December and they are being | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
hurled here at Schiphol airport in the maximum security court because | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
of fears for the politician's safety. A couple questions on the | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
European elections -- US elections coming in and we will return to | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
Anthony Zurcher in a few minutes' time. When Hillary Clinton and | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
Donald Trump are not speaking about the FBI, it is free trade and about | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
how that fits into their plans. I will play you this report from Samir | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
Hussein infill, looking at the American jeans industry and what | :13:45. | :13:45. | |
traders doing for it. -- in full. The UK's Home Secretary - | :13:46. | :14:04. | |
Amber Rudd - has provoked an angry reaction from campaigners | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
and Labour MPs by ruling out a public inquiry into | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
the violence which took place at Orgreave in Yorkshire | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
during the miners strike in 1984. She said she'd taken the decision | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
because ultimately there were no deaths or wrongful convictions | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
as a result of the clashes But campaigners insist that | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
South Yorkshire Police lied This was what Amber Rudd told MPs | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
in the House of Commons. This Government has taken the time, | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
has looked at the documents. I have been in post for three months, I | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
have met with the families and with the campaigning MPs. The fact I have | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
reached a different decision to the one he holds does not mean it is in | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
anyway dishonourable. This is a difficult decision make. I have made | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
it considering all the facts and I believe it is the right one. | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom. | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
The US Justice Department has obtained a warrant to search e-mails | :15:01. | :15:14. | |
held by an aide to Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump said the FBI has done | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
the right thing whilst the Hillary Clinton campaign says it is passed. | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
BBC Arabic have spent a lot of time covering the fact that Lebanon on's | :15:23. | :15:31. | |
Parliament has elected Michel Aoun as president. | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
A political stand-off has meant no-one's done the job | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
for the last two years - but it was sorted when MPs | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
convened for their 46th attempt to make a choice. | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
South Africa's chief prosecutor has dropped fraud charges | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
against the country's finance minister. | :15:54. | :15:54. | |
Pravin Gordha described the allegations as | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
The finance minister has been seen as standing up | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
to President Jacob Zuma in cabinet and has warned against corruption | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
In Australia police are investigating snake theft. | :16:02. | :16:10. | |
This video was shared by Macarthur Pets in Sydney | :16:11. | :16:12. | |
after an albino python was taken on Sunday - | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
Italy's Prime minister Matteo Renzi has been leading | :16:15. | :16:24. | |
the planning of how to rebuild after the earthquake on Sunday. | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
MAP Aftershocks were felt in Rome but the | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
In the tranquillity of the Umbrian countryside, lives are in ruin. It | :16:30. | :16:49. | |
is hard to believe no one was killed there. The earthquake was Italy's | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
strongest in nearly 43 years. Thousands of people are now | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
homeless. In Norcia, this camp, set up the house then after earthquakes | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
last week, is closed. They have all been told to leave the area. More | :17:04. | :17:11. | |
shocks are predicted. TRANSLATION: We spent the last 24 hours here. We | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
slept the night in the car. There is nothing left working in Norcia, no | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
shops, no facilities. Whatever you need is not there. No toothbrushes, | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
no food. No one except emergency workers can go into the old walled | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
talent. Norcia's ancient buildings are now rubble. A structural -- as | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
structural engineers assess the damage, the Italian government | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
reckons the cost. The Prime Minister has promised the region hundreds of | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
millions of euros but now the focus is on rebuilding communities. There | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
is a big as yet unanswered question. How do you protect towns and | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
villages like this which lie in an area notoriously vulnerable to | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
seismic activity? For this woman, history repeats itself. Her father | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
helped to reconstruct the town after an earthquake almost 50 years ago. | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
Today, she says, we find ourselves reliving that catastrophe. My father | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
says it is worse than it was back then. It has been a shock for us, | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
for all the people who live and work here. Norcia's medieval walls were | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
built into the shape of a heart. Broken now, one woman told us, but | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
strong enough to survive. Now it is time for Outside Source | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
Business. The world's biggest | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
advertising company is WPP - and its warning that slowing revenue | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
growth in the UK may indicate Its third quarter results | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
showed worldwide sales up 3.2% on a year ago - | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
the equivalent UK figure is 2.1%. Here are the thoughts of the head | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
of WPP, Sir Martin Sorrell. If you look at it on a like-for-like | :18:58. | :19:11. | |
basis year to date, we are up 3.8% on revenue, 3.4% in net sales, a | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
little slower in the third quarter, it is true, on a like for like | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
basis, looking at revenue or net sales, but there were strong | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
comparatives last year. Geographically, the US continues to | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
be strong. Continental Europe is strong. Places like India are | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
strong, Brazil, better than expected. On Brexit and the UK, the | :19:32. | :19:40. | |
UK has softened a bit in the third quarter, but overall we have done | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
well, up over 3% whether looking at revenue or net sales, and I think | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
the possible reason is uncertainty over Brexit. Whenever you have a | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
conversation with the client on the UK, the first thing that comes out | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
of their mouth is the potential impact on the UK of Brexit. If | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
watching in the UK you will know there has been a lot of speculation | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
around Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, and how long he | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
will stay in the job. That appears to have been cleared up because we | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
have heard in the last few hours that he will stay until 2019. That | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
is one year longer than he was contracted to. He's talking about | :20:22. | :20:23. | |
wanting to secure an "orderly transition" to Brexit. So Mark | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
Carney is not going anywhere as governor of the Bank of England. | :20:29. | :20:29. | |
Turning back to the USA... A major oil merger | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
has been announced. It's between General Electric | :20:35. | :20:35. | |
and Baker Hughes. This screen seems to have given up, | :20:36. | :20:49. | |
so we will abandon that, but good news, Michelle? Tell us about the | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
two countries and what they specialise in. General Electric is | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
seen as something of a bellwether company, with its finger in many | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
pies, from health care to oil and gas. It is the oil and gas side of | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
the business that is drawing the headlines today because it has | :21:06. | :21:16. | |
announced a deal with Baker Hughes, and issues side of the company is | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
related to Howard Hughes who originally set up the company. The | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
thinking behind the deal is that it oil price is low it is a good time | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
to try to consolidate, save costs but also position yourself for the | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
future when oil prices eventually go up again. Michelle, thank you very | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
much indeed. We will stay in the USA and look at the issue of trade now, | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
through the experience of its jeans industry. Samira Hussain reports. In | :21:42. | :21:51. | |
its day this was known as the textile capital of the South, but | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
here is what is left of one of these mills in Georgia. Kimberly started | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
working here when she was just 16 years old. Everyone loved their job. | :22:00. | :22:07. | |
Everyone was proud to do their job. We were happy, we worked hard. We | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
made sure it got done right. We produced quality stuff. But enter | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
the North American Free Trade Agreement and the textile jobs that | :22:19. | :22:26. | |
built this city disappeared. I think why Donald Trump initially grabbed | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
so many people's attention, particularly mine, was his stance on | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
trade, and he signalled out how that deal transformed industry in this | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
country. It dead, don't let anyone tell you different. He had me right | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
there. Donald Trump's message of jobs moving overseas resonates in a | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
community that used to employ 20,000 people in textiles. Now it employs a | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
few hundred, and they all work here. Columbus today has a charming small | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
town feel. The downtown pays tribute to it textile history, old mills | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
having been turned into a pep lofts, and even the river, the reason so | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
many textile mills came here in the first place has become a place for | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
play -- us. This city's resilience is due to people like Jimmy who is | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
attracting industries outside of textiles to Columbus and was doing | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
so long before any trade deals were made. When you have over 50% of your | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
workforce concentrated in one industry, that could become an | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
unhealthy situation. None of us anticipated we would lose all of our | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
textile jobs, but when it did happen we were down the road towards the | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
diversification we were seeking. This is a city that has largely been | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
able to survive the decline of the manufacturing industry. But many | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
cities have not. The challenge for the next president will be to move | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
past trade deals which have hurt many Americans whilst still | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
confronting the realities of this country's increasingly global | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
economy. Samira Hussain, BBC News, Columbus, Georgia. Thanks to Samira | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
for that. I have had a word with the screen and I think it will behave | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
itself no for our move to the newsroom in Washington, DC. A couple | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
more questions for Anthony. Mike in the UK asks, why is the FBI | :24:24. | :24:25. | |
announcing this investigation now? Why was it not aware of these | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
e-mails? Apparently the director of the FBI only became aware of these | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
e-mails recently. The FBI itself discovered them about two weeks ago | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
in an unrelated investigation, and to draw the lines here, it was a | :24:39. | :24:48. | |
former member of Congress's estranged wife who was... He was | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
apparently using a laptop to send messages to a 15-year-old girl which | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
is what sparked the investigation. When they looked at that laptop they | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
discovered e-mails that may be related to Hillary Clinton's server | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
then they inform their higher ups in the FBI and it worked its way all | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
that the chain to the director who made the call on Friday and he | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
decided he was going to announce this 11 days before the election. So | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
apparently reopened this when no one apparently reopened this when no one | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
was expecting it. We will leave it there and come back to you in the | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
next hour with more questions. Thank you very much, Anthony live with us | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
from Washington, DC. I can see questions coming in about the | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
electoral college, and also about the tone of this campaign and | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
whether perhaps it is worse than previous campaigns we have seen so | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
we will speak about that. If you have questions on any part of the US | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
election, this is the hashtag. If you are on Twitter, and you can also | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
reach me with the e-mail address or on social media. The e-mail address, | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
you will see that on the screen as we go along. I will be back with you | :25:53. | :25:54. | |
in a couple of minutes' | :25:55. | :25:55. |
