:00:53. > :01:17.We're now into the final week of campaigning in the US election.
:01:18. > :01:20.Here's the BBC's poll of polls with Hillary Clinton
:01:21. > :01:27.But at this stage, the national polls are less important
:01:28. > :01:30.than individual state polls that's because of the way
:01:31. > :01:32.the American electoral system is set up.
:01:33. > :01:41.No surprise then that the candidates are focusing on those battlegrounds.
:01:42. > :01:43.Today Hillary Clinton's focussed on Arizona and Nevada.
:01:44. > :02:08.If Hillary Clinton was to be elected it would create an unprecedented
:02:09. > :02:12.constitutional crisis. Haven't we just been through a lot with the
:02:13. > :02:18.Clintons! Remember when he was impeached for lying. He can't
:02:19. > :02:24.practice law, he doesn't have the right to practice it. Didn't we just
:02:25. > :02:32.go through it? The last thing we need is another four years of Obama.
:02:33. > :02:40.This would be worse. That means Isis, high taxes, bad health care,
:02:41. > :02:41.no border. Without a border we don't have a country.
:02:42. > :02:43.President Obama at a Democrat campaign event in North Carolina
:02:44. > :03:01.We're being sued by the Department of Justice or denying housing
:03:02. > :03:07.African-American families. I'm not making it up. I'm stating facts. At
:03:08. > :03:10.that same time Hillary was going undercover school to school making
:03:11. > :03:18.sure disadvantaged kids were getting an equal shot at a good education.
:03:19. > :03:23.That tells you something about their respective values. Hillary hasn't
:03:24. > :03:33.stopped fighting the Justice, the quality. Her heart has always been
:03:34. > :03:40.in the right place. -- quality. That is President Barack Obama talking
:03:41. > :03:41.about Hillary Clinton. One of the issues about voter turnout, in
:03:42. > :03:43.particular African Americans. The reason swing states
:03:44. > :03:45.are so important is because of how the electoral system
:03:46. > :03:47.in the US works. Here's Christian
:03:48. > :03:48.Fraser to explain it Here's Christian Fraser
:03:49. > :03:55.to explain it. The winner is not always the pants
:03:56. > :04:02.tipped with a bigger share of the national vote. Think of it is 51
:04:03. > :04:10.mini elections. Each state is allocated is fixed number...
:04:11. > :04:18.Altogether there are 538 electoral college votes. 270 get you across
:04:19. > :04:21.the winning line. This is how it looked in 2012 when Obama was
:04:22. > :04:28.re-elected. You will see that the Democrat little is in the corners,
:04:29. > :04:35.in the big states. It is now all the grabs. The states with the biggest
:04:36. > :04:39.populations that are crucial. Let's take the largest, California. If
:04:40. > :04:45.Clinton was to win California with 50% of the vote plus one she takes
:04:46. > :04:52.all 55. Look how many small state is Donald Trump then has to win to
:04:53. > :04:57.equal that 55. Seven altogether. It is possible to secure the most votes
:04:58. > :05:02.nationwide and still lose. That is what happened in 2000, Al Gore got
:05:03. > :05:09.more votes than George W Bush button picked the White House. In this
:05:10. > :05:14.election, we think there are 13 battle ground states. -- but he
:05:15. > :05:26.didn't make the White House. Let's get some more of it. You have
:05:27. > :05:32.been crisscrossing as much as the candidates. I can't keep up with
:05:33. > :05:36.them. We're just listening to President Barack Obama live in North
:05:37. > :05:40.Carolina. He was talking to African-Americans, pushing to get
:05:41. > :05:47.turnout. Is that what these final bays are all about. Yes, at this
:05:48. > :05:51.stage the messages are out there, people know who they are dealing
:05:52. > :05:56.with. There was not much more to say about the character of either of the
:05:57. > :06:00.candidates. It is about how good your operation is, Hammond people
:06:01. > :06:07.you can get to the polls. Within Pusey has loaned the both of these
:06:08. > :06:14.candidates will stop -- with in Pusey as low. Saying you are going
:06:15. > :06:19.to vote, to actually go to vote even harder than for Barack Obama. He is
:06:20. > :06:23.in North Carolina because there were a lot of African-Americans, a lot of
:06:24. > :06:33.young people. He is speaking at a university. He needs to do what they
:06:34. > :06:38.did to him in 2012. He even said in a radio interview, look there was
:06:39. > :06:44.one more votes to be had my legacy is at stake here. -- is at stake
:06:45. > :06:51.here. Do you think if you look at the selection, with this frenzied
:06:52. > :07:00.pace, does it make a different to the motor? -- to the voter? Yes, it
:07:01. > :07:05.does make a difference, every time they have a rally it is shown on
:07:06. > :07:08.national television. It is not just the audience that is fair but all
:07:09. > :07:14.the millions of Americans tuning in at that particular moment. Then it
:07:15. > :07:19.is picked up online and in the newspapers. Gets a lot of
:07:20. > :07:24.transference, big audiences. They also want to reach those battle
:07:25. > :07:33.grounds dates. You have had Hillary Clinton in Amazonia and the Trump
:07:34. > :07:40.team are in Michigan. -- in Arizona. At the moment trying to protect your
:07:41. > :07:46.castle walls, those states which you feel your stronghold, but also make
:07:47. > :07:50.forays into other states you may be helped to pick up because you are
:07:51. > :07:54.close in the polls. Always good to speak to you.

:08:19. > :08:29.We are on the outskirts of the city, and the city centre is that way.
:08:30. > :08:32.As you can see, the road is now full of dozens and dozens,
:08:33. > :08:34.possibly hundreds of families who have been living under the yoke
:08:35. > :08:41.Many of them have been asked to leave their own safety,
:08:42. > :08:44.many of them want to leave, because for them it's

:08:48. > :08:50.this is the first time they've been out of their homes

:09:05. > :09:09.Immediate peace isn't an immediate prospect.
:09:10. > :09:13.But at least life for many of them will be a little better soon.
:09:14. > :09:24.The big question is, where do they go now?
:09:25. > :09:26.Let's take you across the Iraqi border to Syria now.
:09:27. > :09:29.Syrian President President Bashar al-Assad has declared his intention

:10:02. > :10:10.Russia had this to say about its relationship with the US.
:10:11. > :10:16.TRANSLATION: Problems in our relations have been accumulating for
:10:17. > :10:20.a long time. They started when the United States saw that we do not
:10:21. > :10:24.take orders from then when we discuss an international problem.
:10:25. > :10:34.The problem started when they sought that President Putin the game the
:10:35. > :10:40.independence of our foreign policy. The BBC owned Bennett Jones is in
:10:41. > :10:44.Aleppo. Can you talk to is a bit about the mood in Aleppo right now?
:10:45. > :10:49.There was great tension I'm in the western part that is held by the
:10:50. > :10:54.government. Many people here have experienced bombshells coming in in
:10:55. > :11:01.the past week. There is considerable anger about that and also
:11:02. > :11:05.anticipation that the government are going to launch a major assault on
:11:06. > :11:10.Eastern Aleppo in the coming days or weeks and that that could change the
:11:11. > :11:20.situation. There are simply two versions of the truth here, if you
:11:21. > :11:23.like. The the rebel sides are taken in civilian casualties. But here is
:11:24. > :11:28.the version that the people on the other side of Ireland jihadists and
:11:29. > :11:39.any to be cleared out. With the people, it can you -- other side are
:11:40. > :11:44.violent jihadists. So in some of the besieged areas that have already
:11:45. > :11:48.surrendered, they call it a reconciliation process, in some of
:11:49. > :11:51.those areas the estimate is that the number of people in besieged areas
:11:52. > :11:57.has been far higher than what turned out to be the case. The estimates of
:11:58. > :12:04.Eastern Aleppo range from a quarter of a million people down to 90,000
:12:05. > :12:08.or something. A vast strategy. But it is a huge number of people and
:12:09. > :12:12.they have taken an awful lot of punishment over the last few months.
:12:13. > :12:17.The question is whether the president is going to follow through
:12:18. > :12:25.on these assertions he is making Betty will clear it. He said it is
:12:26. > :12:29.their top priority to retake Aleppo. If they do that they will have
:12:30. > :12:32.control of all the major population centres in Syria. It looks like they

:13:36. > :13:42.reports to be released without delay. Thousands of South Africans
:13:43. > :13:49.have turned out on the streets, calling for the president to step
:13:50. > :13:51.down. Calling for him to fall. It is because of the corruption
:13:52. > :13:58.allegations that have dogged the president for a long time. And in a
:13:59. > :14:04.packed court room the judge gave the people what they had been asking

:14:55. > :14:56.significant because today South Africans of reclaim the
:14:57. > :15:01.constitution. When we led the complaint against Zuma we knew there
:15:02. > :15:06.was evidence that indicated that there is evidence of state
:15:07. > :15:12.corruption. It was not just Mr Zuma's political enemies, some
:15:13. > :15:20.groups even from his own governing party. We have asked for a meeting
:15:21. > :15:27.with the president and we have told him that he is no longer deserving
:15:28. > :15:32.to lead this country. This report is not good for President Zuma, but it
:15:33. > :15:36.is not as damning as some in the opposition had hoped when they came
:15:37. > :15:40.to court this morning. There are many who believe that with all the
:15:41. > :15:47.corruption allegations against the president that things might be
:15:48. > :15:53.coming to a head. Somehow it does feel like South Africa is reaching a
:15:54. > :15:56.tipping point. Now, South Africa's attention will turn to Jacob Zuma to
:15:57. > :16:12.see how they will respond. We're going to be looking at
:16:13. > :16:17.Facebook and a plan from ensuring its company to view the profiles.

:16:52. > :16:55.recognise and respect those that have given their lives for our
:16:56. > :17:00.safety and security. I think it is absolutely right that they should be

:17:03. > :17:04.We want our players to be able to wear those poppies.

:24:05. > :24:13.young people a special insurance deal in exchange
:24:14. > :24:26.for viewing their profile in order Quite a story but Facebook says it
:24:27. > :24:31.is not going to happen. The heart of this is about who has access to your
:24:32. > :24:35.social media and what they can do with that information. Facebook here
:24:36. > :24:39.is blocking the insurance company he wants to assess the way you like
:24:40. > :24:45.posts, how you write your posts is, to figure out if you are a risky bet
:24:46. > :24:48.or not and whether you should get discounts on your premium. Facebook
:24:49. > :24:54.said no to that. Interestingly, even Facebook users peoples data to
:24:55. > :24:58.target advertising towards you. This won't be the last time you see a
:24:59. > :25:06.financial company trying to use your data in this way. Question but
:25:07. > :25:09.Facebook is does this present a business opportunity silica make
:25:10. > :25:17.more money in the future. And Ings, were out for Facebook? Yes, I
:25:18. > :25:21.mentioned about how it sells targeted advertising. It has been
:25:22. > :25:28.very successful in the last three months. Its revenue rose 558%. A lot
:25:29. > :25:32.of this has to do with ads on your mobile devices. If you regularly use
:25:33. > :25:37.Facebook on your mobile that is where the company is making most of
:25:38. > :25:42.its money. It has had great success there and no doubt that means we
:25:43. > :25:48.will see more and more targeted ads on our small screens. Thank you very
:25:49. > :25:52.much, always good to speak to you. Very interesting, couple of ideas
