how it is looking at the moment across Europe. More details on the

UK later. Hello, I'm Nuala McGovern,

this is Outside Source. Both Donald Trump and Hillary

Clinton hit swing states, we'll look why these key

battlegrounds matter so much. We will also tend to ride the race

for the White House has security implications for Japan.

We will have more on those, one of India's biggest TV stars, he

announced his fans by announcing his resignation, we have more on the

shock departure of Arnab Goswami. And we have a story about a German

footballer about to make his debut in the world of wrestling.

Now to the United States and the election, the candidates are

focusing on the all-important swing states. Donald Trump is in Florida.

Hillary Clinton has been in two states, Arizona and Nevada. The

whole way across. The reason the swing states are so important, is

because of how the electoral college system is set up. We had a question

from a viewer asking to explain it. Christian Fraser will do that. The

winner is not always the candidate with the biggest share of the

national vote, think of this not just as one election, but 51 many

elections. Each state is allocated a fixed number of state electors

determined by the size of the population. Altogether there are 538

electoral college votes, 270 will get you across the winning line.

This is how it looked in 2012 when Barack Obama was re-elected. The

Democrat blue is in the corners in the very big states, but now it is

up for grabs again. The states with the biggest populations are crucial.

The largest, California. If Clinton was to win California with 50% of

the vote plus one, she takes all 55 votes and that help many smaller

states Donald Trump has to win to equal that 55, seven altogether. It

is possible to secure the most votes nationwide, the popular vote, and

still lose, and that is what happened in 2000. Al Gore got more

votes than George W Bush but he did not take the White House. We think

there are up to 13 battle ground states, that could go is that

Republican or Democrat. Hopefully that answers your question. This

election is important not only in the United States, although so many

eyes have been watching this. It has been carefully watched all across

the globe. Japan is talking about this a lot.

We have this report now. A fighter jet from the US Air Force roaring

into the sky above the Japanese island. Over 70 years this little

island in the far south of Japan has been America's unsinkable aircraft

carrier in Asia. I'm now standing on the South West Coast and beside me

is the East China Sea, if you take the drone up, off to the west is the

giant Kadena airbase, the largest US Air Force facility in the western

Pacific. If we turned the drone to the North, on top of that hill is a

Marine base, the US presence here is enormous. And as Donald Trump likes

to remind us, it is also extremely expensive. There are nearly 50,000

US personnel based in Japan and another 25,000 Japanese working on

these American bases. In the first presidential debate Donald Trump

said they should be paying us because we are providing tremendous

service. We are losing a fortune. Is that true? TRANSLATION:

This man is a chair of the forces Labour union, does he think his

members are getting a free ride on the US taxpayer? TRANSLATION: Donald

Trump has no clue. Japan also pays the salaries of all the Japanese

working on US bases. It even pays the electricity and water bills.

Japan pays around 2 billion US dollars a year towards the cost of

keeping American forces here. A lot of them here want that to stop.

These protesters are blocking a truck from getting to a construction

site for a new US base. They say the burden of hosting so many US troops

is just too high. Does that mean they support Donald Trump? Mr Donald

Trump makes many radical comments and talks about removing the US

bases from here, so I'm a bit hopeful, but at the same time I'm

worried he will bring trouble if he became the US president. I guess it

is a good thing, when you listen to what he says, I have big questions

about him, I worry he might violate human rights and I worry if he is

going to make the right decision as a human being. These people might

want the Americans to go, but that doesn't mean they want Donald to be

president. If Japan had a vote it would go to Hillary Clinton -- they

want Donald Trump to be president. STUDIO: Another perspective on the

American election, and now we can turn to sport. The final game of the

World Series between Cleveland and Chicago is a few hours away. Victory

means more for these teams than most, Chicago have not won a

champion ship in 108 years, Cleveland, just 68 years. --

championship. We can have a chat about this game. It has gone to the

wire, the seventh game. What should people be watching out for tonight?

It has been a crazy series, the Cubs were 3-1 down. They have not won in

over a century, their drought will come to an end or Cleveland's will,

as well. They go to Game seven after the Cubs beat the Indians 9-3 in

game six. Just a few days ago, the Cubs were 3-1 down in the best-of-7,

but by now claiming of their first championship in 108 years. -- they

are now close to claiming. Alexander hit the lie

Alexander Rusev hit a grand slam, that is a home run with all three

bases loaded -- Alexander Russell. The Cubs are hoping to do what only

five teams have done before then, the last time in 1985, both teams

are more than desperate for the victory after the long droughts you

mentioned. Maybe the Indians can recover, to win their first title

since 1948, they are at home again on Wednesday night, it is possible.

Who are the favourites? There can't be any favourites in the World

Series, but Chicago Cubs record in the regular season was immense so

maybe if you are going for a side maybe it would be them, but they are

away from home. Very diplomatic answer. Thanks for joining us. And

now to a professional footballer who is changing to a professional

wrestler. Not a traditional transition, but that is what Tim

Visa is doing. He played in goal for Germany and Werder Bremen. He has

turned his back on football to become a professional WWE wrestler

and he will make his debut on Thursday.

And now boxing, Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko have been cleared

to fight for the vacant WBA heavyweight title. The bout is

likely to be scheduled for early next year. This is what Anthony

Joshua's promoter has to say about it, he says it has been an arduous

way to gain official approval but that they are delighted to receive

the news. The title was left vacant by Tyson Fury, who stepped away from

the sport after admitting he took cocaine to deal with depression.

With that, you can find out more on the BBC news app and also at the BBC

News website. And now back to the US election. The story that many people

are talking about. We spoke about swing states, the battle ground

states, I want to talk about Nevada. Not a large population. It has a

electoral votes and that is what the politicians are after. The polls say

it is very tight at the moment. These are the figures. If we take a

look at some of the specifics coming in, you really see that the

percentage of error is so small that they are so close wherever you look.

We thought it would be interesting to go to Nevada and speak to one of

the people who is working on it. I met her when I was in Las Vegas the

other week. Good to have you with us. Good to be here. It looks like a

throw up when it comes to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Tell me

about what listeners to the public radio station that you run are

telling you. It looks like a toss-up, but there are many people

who are early voting. We have had two weeks and many more Democrats

are showing up than Republicans, especially here. Nevada is divided.

Here in Clark County we are way ahead of 2012 numbers in terms of

Democrat numbers showing up at the polls. There is the his panicked --

the Hispanic population and they are trying to get out a lot of Hispanic

people out to the polls. What is it like to be courted by the

candidates? Some states don't even get a look in. Six votes, but only

seven states which are so-called swing states and we are one of them.

We have perpetually being the belle of the ball, we are a purple state.

Some people think that some people are Republican and some

Democrat. We have to talk about the Senate, we have Senate campaigns

which are neck and neck, we are talking about control of the Senate

and that can make and break a president and we can make and break

that in Nevada. When you have your ballot, each candidate, you have a

third box, neither of the above. That will get a lot of votes, there

are people who are so disgusted with both of these candidates or they are

conservative but they can't vote for Donald Trump or they are liberal but

they think Hillary Clinton is too much in the middle, and they will

vote for Nader. It is an option and it usually gets a loss of votes here

-- and they will vote for neither. Thanks for joining us. Coming up,

one of India's biggest TV stars has surprised his fans by announcing his

resignation. We have more on the shock departure of Arnab Goswami.

Present conditions in England and Wales, are a bloodbath -- risen

conditions. The government is set to unveil its plans to tackle Buydens

and sewer sides in UK jails -- set to unveil its plans to tackle

violence and suicides in UK jails. The old Conservative

mantra repeated a few But in some jails, this

is Wandsworth, south London, earlier this year, the government

is facing an explosive combination of staff shortages,

violence and drug abuse. And some inmates are turning

to the latest technology, using The basket attached to this

the situation is at crisis point. Today they were set to take part

in an unofficial walk-out. It was called off after

the Justice Secretary agreed to an urgent meeting with POA

leaders this afternoon. Prisons are a bloodbath

at the moment, they are causing mass hysteria for staff and prisoners,

everyone is in a really bad way. Prisons are on their knees

and we hope the Justice Secretary can give some positive

news for our members Today the BBC obtained a letter

from an inmate at Pentonville where a prisoner was stabbed

nearly one year ago. While the political front line has

changed in the last 12 months, those at the sharp end in the present

service have watched and experienced The latest figures show

that over the past year, there were 107

self-inflicted deaths. Our lead story, Donald Trump and

Hillary Clinton are campaigning in key swing states as the polls narrow

in the race for the White House. Where you are watching depends what

you will see next. If you are watching internationally you will

have World News America. We have a special report on how voters in five

states will also decide whether or not to legalise the recreational use

of marijuana. If you are in the UK, there will be more on why the

British Prime Minister is getting involved in a row over whether

England and Scotland footballer 's can wear poppies in their World Cup

qualifying match. Now we can go to a new report which has come out into

the missing flight MH370. A new report into missing flight

MH370 says the plane likely made an uncontrolled descent

into the Indian Ocean. It places doubt on the theory that

someone controlled the plane Australian officials say satellite

data and analysis of two recovered wing flaps show the plane

was in a "high and increasing rate The plane took off from

Kuala Lumpur on the 8th It was headed for Beijing,

but ended up crashing into the Indian Ocean off

Australia's west coast. This is the 120,000 square

kilometres area being searched. Just 10,000 square kilometres remain

in their search. It is frustrating for everyone

involved and have not found any aircraft, especially for the

families of the passengers and crew -- to have not found any aircraft.

We are continuing to work our way through the remaining 10,000 square

kilometres and we look forward to discussions this week in terms of

getting the experts from around the world to exchange their ideas, to

re-examine evidence. Everyone involved is trying to keep hopeful

and keep their spirits up about the prospects of locating MH370. And now

to India. One of India's most controversial

and recognisable TV anchors, Arnab Goswami, has announced

he is quitting his job His hard hitting interview style

won him many fans - but to others, he was considered

offensive and over the top. Either way - he was a staple

of evening TV viewing Rahul Joglekar from the BBC

Asian Network began his career 10 years ago in Mumbai,

working for Arnab Goswami. He explained what made Goswami

so unique on Indian television. Arnab Goswami in many ways is known

as one of the most bombastic, In many ways he redefined how TV

news is done in India. Before Arnab Goswami it was pretty

deferential and news anchors But his style is

completely different. The screen is full of talking heads

talking over each other, over graphics, with many animated

questions being asked. In many ways he is one

of the hardest hitting news anchors, raising a lot

of questions around corruption. His critics have often attacked him,

saying he has made the news a very tabloid version

of the news, But actually he is pretty

popular in India. Whenever there is a big corruption

scandal, there is always a committee which is set up and many people feel

as if politicians get off Here you have at 9pm every night

when you switch on the television, Arnab Goswami live on air,

asking politicians the really tough questions that nobody else

has the guts to ask. And these other eight

boxes of guests asking You worked with him 10-years ago,

what was that like? When I look back, working

in the Indian news media, in many ways it is like being

transported inside a beehive. Lots of frenzied journalists running

around, trying to beat each other to get the exclusive,

on breaking news, But remember, this is a country that

had state-controlled The only thing we watched on Indian

television was basically what You can imagine the competition

there is between these channels and how they try to break the news

before each other. This is a tweet from BBC business.

Lots of Indians wondering what might happen. We are back again tomorrow.

Goodbye. Now for a round-up of the sport.

Another busy night of Champions League
