:00:11. > :00:20.I am Ros Atkins. Welcome back to Outside Source. We start with the US

:00:21. > :00:24.election. Hillary Clinton's campaign is on more e-mail revelations. They

:00:25. > :00:27.say the FBI has to explain why it has chosen to announce this further

:00:28. > :00:31.investigation so close to election day. Both candidates have been

:00:32. > :00:36.turning to the issue during rallies in swing states.

:00:37. > :00:42.The NFL has held three games here in London

:00:43. > :00:45.We will look back at the matches and ahead to what it means

:00:46. > :01:00.In sport will also speak about the World Series as well as the NFL,

:01:01. > :01:04.because Cleveland are also there. The Chicago Cubs have come back,

:01:05. > :01:10.almost. We will look at the sixth game with help from our London

:01:11. > :01:18.reporter. And you can get me with the hashtag year or on social media.

:01:19. > :01:23.-- And you can get me with the hashtag here or on social media.

:01:24. > :01:30.Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are going to be spending the last

:01:31. > :01:32.few days before the election visiting swing states.

:01:33. > :01:35.Over the next week on Outside Source, we're going to be talking

:01:36. > :01:37.to journalists from some of these states -

:01:38. > :01:47.Derek at reasons for this state being so important.

:01:48. > :01:49.It's the seventh most populous state.

:01:50. > :01:53.And no Republican has won the presidency without winning Ohio

:01:54. > :02:00.since Abraham Lincoln - and that was in 1860.

:02:01. > :02:09.Let's talk to Randy Ludlow, senior Reporter with the Columbus Dispatch

:02:10. > :02:14.newspaper. Thank you for joining us. First of all, help us understand

:02:15. > :02:19.Ohio full sub is this a state which easily divides into different types

:02:20. > :02:26.of voter? Well, Hohaia has always been very much seen as a bellwether

:02:27. > :02:30.because of its mix, it is almost a microcosm of America -- Ohio State

:02:31. > :02:35.also we have the big industrial cities, Cincinnati, Cleveland,

:02:36. > :02:40.Columbus. Columbus is a higher education centre with the

:02:41. > :02:48.University. We have a lot of blue-collar manufacturing in smaller

:02:49. > :02:56.towns. We have agriculture, the largest business and we have a slice

:02:57. > :03:06.of Abu Aisheh across south-eastern Ohio -- Abu

:03:07. > :03:10.people argue that Ohio is losing its bellwether status because we don't

:03:11. > :03:16.quite have the Latino population other states have gained. Why might

:03:17. > :03:20.you hear from American voters in places like California who feel they

:03:21. > :03:23.are not so involved in the election because everyone knows which way

:03:24. > :03:30.their state is going to go. Do people in Ohio feel pride in the

:03:31. > :03:37.fact that the choice they make does matter? It is a mantle we have long

:03:38. > :03:44.warned and they fight very hard over this state. Hillary Clinton, it

:03:45. > :03:48.could be argued, doesn't have to have a victory including Ohio, but

:03:49. > :03:52.Donald Trump must absolutely have a higher if he is to have any chance

:03:53. > :03:56.of winning the presidency. What is your reading of the situation at the

:03:57. > :04:02.moment? How are the campaign is doing in their pitch to people in

:04:03. > :04:07.Ohio? The polls suggest that Ohio remains a toss-up and it is hard to

:04:08. > :04:14.toss-up which way it is going. The Democrats, to their credit, are much

:04:15. > :04:20.better organised than the Trump forces. Hillary is also out

:04:21. > :04:27.advertising Trump here in Ohio as well as other battle ground states.

:04:28. > :04:31.Ohio is always close either way. So I don't see the use being any

:04:32. > :04:38.different this time around. We may not know which way the state goes

:04:39. > :04:43.until late election night. Let me ask you about one curiosity, Randy.

:04:44. > :04:47.Donald Trump has been taking pops at the Ohio Governor, John Kasich, a

:04:48. > :04:52.man that you might think he wants on his side.

:04:53. > :04:57.Well, obviously Governor John Kasich battled Trump and the other

:04:58. > :05:01.Republican contenders in the primary and he was always critical of Mr

:05:02. > :05:05.Trump and what he cold his divisiveness where John Kasich was

:05:06. > :05:12.trying to speak to a more inclusive and a more moderate, if you would,

:05:13. > :05:19.GOP while still endorsing the Conservative tenants of the party.

:05:20. > :05:25.He refused to attend the Republican National Convention where Trump

:05:26. > :05:32.accepted the nomination. There has been some back and forth between the

:05:33. > :05:36.various camps. Trump will not be getting the support of Governor John

:05:37. > :05:42.Kasich. The Trump campaign in fact this associated itself of the state

:05:43. > :05:49.Republican chairman Matt Borders, a close ally of John Kasich. Trump

:05:50. > :05:54.does not have the John Kasich bargaining chip in his corner going

:05:55. > :06:00.into the election and that is not helping his election in Ohio. We

:06:01. > :06:03.appreciate your time in such a busy stage of the cycle. Randy Ludlow

:06:04. > :06:05.from the Columbus Dispatch newspaper.

:06:06. > :06:15.We will stay with US politics. Just before I came up here I read an

:06:16. > :06:23.article with Politico describing both this -- tested candidates --

:06:24. > :06:26.detested candidates. By any measure we have

:06:27. > :06:29.Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are among the most disliked

:06:30. > :06:31.candidates in presidential history. David Botti's latest

:06:32. > :06:36.report looks at why. There are 320 million people in the

:06:37. > :06:40.US and out of these just two have a chance of becoming the next

:06:41. > :06:47.President. Sorry, third-party candidates. And also, they are very

:06:48. > :06:51.unpopular. So, how did they rise to the top? First, what you need to

:06:52. > :06:57.understand is that America in 2016 is ideologically very divided.

:06:58. > :07:02.Research found that median Democrats and Republicans have moved further

:07:03. > :07:05.apart over the past two decades. And they also found that partisan

:07:06. > :07:11.divisions are greatest among those who are the most active in the

:07:12. > :07:16.political process. Most active in the political process. Guess who

:07:17. > :07:20.those people are. They are the ones voting in the primaries and there is

:07:21. > :07:23.the rub. The two mainstream candidates are not chosen by the

:07:24. > :07:28.general public, they are chosen in the primaries by the parties, which

:07:29. > :07:34.are private institutions with their own rules and agendas. So let's

:07:35. > :07:41.break it down. Only 18% of Americans voted in the primaries. And only

:07:42. > :07:45.half of them chose either Trump or Clinton. The rest voted for other

:07:46. > :07:49.candidates. And those candidates stood for a huge range of positions

:07:50. > :07:55.that are no longer represented for the voters. So a small portion of

:07:56. > :08:00.the most polarised Americans chose the mainstream candidates, which may

:08:01. > :08:05.explain why there's less national love for them. But here is a wrinkle

:08:06. > :08:10.for you. Both were once upon a time pretty popular. Clinton was an

:08:11. > :08:15.extremely popular Secretary of State whose favourability rating was 63%

:08:16. > :08:20.when she left office. And Trump, of course, he had a top rated TV

:08:21. > :08:23.programme in the Apprentice. But stepping into that unforgiving

:08:24. > :08:28.presidential campaign arena tends to hurt a candidate's favourability.

:08:29. > :08:32.For Clinton she has a 30 year record with ups and downs her opponents can

:08:33. > :08:37.exploit and her supporters say sexism plays a role in the animosity

:08:38. > :08:41.towards her. And forth Trump, that bombastic behaviour that won TV

:08:42. > :08:46.viewers makes him unpopular, not just with traditional Democratic

:08:47. > :08:50.opponents, which is obvious, but also moderate Republicans so he has

:08:51. > :08:56.a two front war. Even now both candidates aren't very popular among

:08:57. > :08:59.certain groups. But hardly on the national level. So what does any of

:09:00. > :09:03.this mean? Will people just not bother to vote? And is this the year

:09:04. > :09:11.that voters demand more than the 2-party system can provide? David

:09:12. > :09:14.Botti, BBC News, Washington. I enjoy watching the reports from David and

:09:15. > :09:19.we will have more coming between now and election day, I promise.

:09:20. > :09:22.Outside Source sport, beginning with the NFL International series taking

:09:23. > :09:27.place in London had it wrapped up on Sunday.

:09:28. > :09:29.The Washington Redskins drew 27-27 with the Cincinnati

:09:30. > :09:34.That doesn't happen often in the NFL.

:09:35. > :09:37.The NFL is huge already in the UK, with popularity growing.

:09:38. > :09:44.The NFL is doing this to spread the appeal of its sport and a thriller

:09:45. > :09:47.like that helps, doesn't it? Absolutely and the NFL, make no

:09:48. > :09:52.mistake, is huge with popularity growing. The international series is

:09:53. > :09:56.into its tenth year, three matches in 2016 at Wembley and Twickenham,

:09:57. > :10:02.three sell-outs averaging more than 80,000 fans with hour-long queues

:10:03. > :10:06.for merchandise tents, there is a genuine anger, the Colts, the

:10:07. > :10:11.Giants, the Bengals, the Rams and Redskins in the UK this year the

:10:12. > :10:15.dolphins will play the Saints in the 2017 series. Wembley is committed to

:10:16. > :10:19.hosting games until 2020 and whipped Tottenham building a new stadium

:10:20. > :10:25.which will stage two matches per season between 2018 and 2027th, it

:10:26. > :10:27.is being built to host both the Premier League and NFL and is set to

:10:28. > :10:50.open in 2018, which brings us on to the

:10:51. > :10:53.question of a London franchise. The British government wants it, the

:10:54. > :10:55.jags have been tipped as the team most likely to relocate, London is

:10:56. > :10:57.calling for the NFL, the new ground at Tottenham will have a retractable

:10:58. > :11:00.playing surface pulling a grass soccer field over synthetic

:11:01. > :11:03.footballs turf, so you can host a soccer game and a football game on

:11:04. > :11:05.the same day and there will be the dedicated entrance for soccer and

:11:06. > :11:08.the other one dedicated for the NFL, all of which seems a bit much for

:11:09. > :11:11.two NFL games a year, so make no mistake, a London franchise is just

:11:12. > :11:14.a matter of time. I get the franchise bid of the teams want to

:11:15. > :11:17.be schlepping all the way from the US to London to play a home game or

:11:18. > :11:19.an away game depending on which side of the game they are?

:11:20. > :11:22.That is the big question because you are giving up their home game and

:11:23. > :11:25.only plate 16 before the play-offs so eight of those at home and giving

:11:26. > :11:28.up one of the home games. For the fans, you are not getting the fans

:11:29. > :11:30.you would get if you are the Oakland Raiders, perhaps tipped to come

:11:31. > :11:34.across the pond and the Jaguars. Such huge interest and it is key,

:11:35. > :11:37.because they are financially rewarded for the games in the UK,

:11:38. > :11:40.they don't give up a home game for the sake of it and the teams that

:11:41. > :11:44.are coming over at the moment are those teams not within a play-off

:11:45. > :11:48.shout, the Rams and the New York Giants, teams on the up, and even

:11:49. > :11:53.the Raiders who we might see in the UK next year. Heading up a home game

:11:54. > :11:56.but you are being rewarded for it as well.

:11:57. > :11:59.Interesting and intriguing and we will speak again through the week.

:12:00. > :12:04.The Chicago Cubs are still in it - they beat the Cleveland Indians

:12:05. > :12:24.You will not be surprised to hear that.

:12:25. > :12:37.Why not ask? -- us. I feel we play our best with our backs against the

:12:38. > :12:40.war. We went and took care of business and hopefully we are going

:12:41. > :12:46.to go out there and win Game six because you never know what happens

:12:47. > :12:51.in game seven. We are all about writing our own history. This team

:12:52. > :12:56.is a special one. You look so many times throughout the year, we have

:12:57. > :13:02.not been playing good, but I feel we have turned that around. I saw

:13:03. > :13:06.something, someone told me today 17 times this year we lost a game and

:13:07. > :13:12.went on to win three in a row so why can't we do that now?

:13:13. > :13:18.He hit the nail on the head, we are writing our own history, making

:13:19. > :13:23.history, why not stop? This is entertaining to us, this is fun, and

:13:24. > :13:27.we live for this. We see lots of challenges ahead of us. We embrace

:13:28. > :13:33.them. That's what we've been talking about since spring training 2015.

:13:34. > :13:38.That's kind of the mindset we have had and we definitely haven't lost

:13:39. > :13:40.that. There is a different story coming out of Cleveland, you will

:13:41. > :13:48.not be surprised to know. I think it's business as usual. We

:13:49. > :13:52.have to take tomorrow in the same way we have taken every game up

:13:53. > :13:55.until now. If we relax or take our foot off the gas pedal that will

:13:56. > :13:59.allow them to gain momentum and get back into the series. In a few

:14:00. > :14:03.minutes we are going to continue a series of reports BBC Arabic has

:14:04. > :14:08.been making about women shamed online. This is the young woman in

:14:09. > :14:13.Bangladesh who was raped 15 years ago and is still being shamed online

:14:14. > :14:19.because of that. We will have a report about her experience.

:14:20. > :14:22.A lorry driver who killed a mother and three children while distracted

:14:23. > :14:25.by his phone has been jailed for ten years.

:14:26. > :14:28.The judge said that Tomasz Kroker might as well have had his eyes

:14:29. > :14:30.closed when he crashed into stationary traffic in Berkshire

:14:31. > :14:46.Four lives lost in a fraction of one second. Tracy Holton, her sons,

:14:47. > :14:52.Ethan and Josh, and her stepdaughter Aimee Fuller stop today at Reading

:14:53. > :14:55.Crown Court dug, the father of Josh and Ethan, and other family members,

:14:56. > :15:04.came to hear how they died after being hit by a lorry driver using

:15:05. > :15:07.his mobile phone. That driver was 30-year-old Tomasz Kroker, who had

:15:08. > :15:13.been on his phone for up to 45 seconds before impact. Cameras in

:15:14. > :15:17.his lorry show him scrawling on his phone to change the music he was

:15:18. > :15:21.listening to. He only looks up less than one second before he hits a

:15:22. > :15:26.line of stationary traffic in front of him. The car Tracey and her

:15:27. > :15:30.children were in is barely visible under the back of the lorry on the

:15:31. > :15:37.right. The judge said Tomasz Kroker might have well been driving with

:15:38. > :15:43.his eyes closed. Tracey's partner, any's father mark, was travelling in

:15:44. > :15:49.the car behind and saw it all. We pulled up behind some lorries, just

:15:50. > :15:56.crawling along, everyone slowed down and then that was it.

:15:57. > :16:00.Bang. Today any's natural mother Kate also spoke of the impact on

:16:01. > :16:03.her. Our children lost their lives

:16:04. > :16:12.because of the reckless actions of Thomas Croker -- Tomasz Kroker. But

:16:13. > :16:17.we're not the only family to have suffered to what is perceived by

:16:18. > :16:25.many as minor, inconsequential crime. A crime that takes place on

:16:26. > :16:30.our roads every day. We urge you to make a personal commitment to stop

:16:31. > :16:37.using mobile phones whilst driving, and make our roads safer for

:16:38. > :16:42.everyone. Croker was jailed for a total of ten years today after

:16:43. > :16:47.admitting dangerous driving. In the incident the family said was wholly

:16:48. > :16:49.avoidable and has left them utterly devastated -- Tomasz Kroker. Duncan

:16:50. > :17:01.Kennedy, BBC News, Reading Crown Court.

:17:02. > :17:06.This is Outside Source live from the BBC newsroom. I am Ros Atkins.

:17:07. > :17:22.Donald Trump says the FBI has done the right thing.

:17:23. > :17:29.In the past few days we have been running a series of reports on

:17:30. > :17:32.thousands of people in some of the world's most conservative societies

:17:33. > :17:39.are being threatened, blackmailed or ashamed with explicitly revealing

:17:40. > :17:43.images. 15 years ago a girl cold Purmina shill was attacked and

:17:44. > :17:47.gang-raping. Slowly she has managed to rebuild her life, but now social

:17:48. > :17:48.media is being used to discredit her. This is her story from

:17:49. > :20:36.Bangladesh. In the last couple of minutes of

:20:37. > :20:41.Outside Source let's Quebecer Anthony in the BBC's newsroom in

:20:42. > :20:45.Washington, DC. We will not get through all of these questions.

:20:46. > :20:48.Jeffrey wants to ask about Harry Reid's letter, a very senior

:20:49. > :20:53.Democrat, in which he makes an allegation the FBI knows of ties

:20:54. > :20:57.between Russia and Donald Trump's campaign. He says, is there any

:20:58. > :21:02.proof of that? That has been rumoured in the media for a while.

:21:03. > :21:08.There is some evidence, the FBI has said Russian hackers have been

:21:09. > :21:11.involved in the Wikileaks hacks damaging Hillary Clinton. There is a

:21:12. > :21:14.CNBC report out earlier today saying they decided not to commence with

:21:15. > :21:16.the information will publicly because it could affect the

:21:17. > :21:20.election, which is exactly what he didn't do on Friday with the Hillary

:21:21. > :21:25.Clinton e-mail story. Down in the UK wants to know about

:21:26. > :21:33.this CNN Democrat resignation story today. Then Brazil, the head of the

:21:34. > :21:37.Democratic National Committee HQ but earlier this year she was a talking

:21:38. > :21:44.head for the Democrats on CNN, and apparently thanks to these Wikileaks

:21:45. > :21:48.revelations she is shared several questions to a Hillary Clinton town

:21:49. > :21:56.Hall on CNN in Michigan, one of which was about the water crisis in

:21:57. > :21:58.Flint, Michigan, it wasn't a debate, it was a town hall with Hillary

:21:59. > :22:06.Clinton answering questions in the audience. Jess wants to ask if

:22:07. > :22:10.Hillary Clinton can still win after the FBI investigation. I definitely

:22:11. > :22:12.think she can still win and I would say she is still favourite. The

:22:13. > :22:17.electoral playing field is still tilted in her favour, she still

:22:18. > :22:20.leads in the polls by a more narrow margin, but importantly she is

:22:21. > :22:26.leading in many key swing states and has a built-in advantage. In the

:22:27. > :22:31.states she will win like California, New York, and Illinois, that have a

:22:32. > :22:33.lot of electoral votes and sway in this election.

:22:34. > :22:38.Thank you for your extra help, Anthony. Live from Washington, DC.

:22:39. > :22:47.Interesting tweet from the BBC's North America editor Jon Sopel,

:22:48. > :22:51.showing a quote from Harold Wilson, week is a long time in politics,

:22:52. > :22:55.quoted a lot in the US command that applies for the next week. Stay

:22:56. > :22:58.tuned for every twist and turn from the BBC newsroom. We will see you

:22:59. > :23:11.tomorrow at the same time. Bye bye. Hello, I'm will Perry with the

:23:12. > :23:13.latest from the BBC's centre.
