:00:45. > :00:54.will tell us in a few hours' time. The worst floods in decades in South

:01:03. > :01:15.goal, Rooney has scored and Kyle Walker has been sent off.
:01:16. > :01:22.Let's turn to America and Afghanistan. This is a tweet from
:01:23. > :01:28.Saturday, Donald Trump saying, I've had an important day at camp David
:01:29. > :01:32.with our military leaders and we have made decisions including on
:01:33. > :01:36.Afghanistan. In not so long we will hear what those decisions are in a
:01:37. > :01:41.live address from the president. At the moment there are over 8000
:01:42. > :01:46.American troops in Afghanistan. A lot but way down on the 100,000
:01:47. > :01:53.during President Obama's first term. This is America's longest of the
:01:54. > :01:57.conflict. It dates back to 2001 and the 9/11 attacks, almost 2500 US
:01:58. > :02:01.troops have died since the operations began, and in financial
:02:02. > :02:06.terms, it is estimated to have crossed over $1 trillion. The impact
:02:07. > :02:14.on Afghans has also been important egg enormous. This is number of
:02:15. > :02:20.civilian deaths since 2001, 30 1000. Gary O'Donoghue of the BBC in
:02:21. > :02:25.Washington reported on the options President Trump faces. The options
:02:26. > :02:30.are, from total withdrawal of American forces, some it of them in
:02:31. > :02:34.Afghanistan, bring them all home, adding another 4000 or so to
:02:35. > :02:39.traditional at the Afghan army, that's taken some heavy losses in
:02:40. > :02:43.the fight against the Taliban. Possibly using private contractors
:02:44. > :02:48.to do some of that so that some of the American troops can come home.
:02:49. > :02:52.So a variety of options on the table, I think the most likely one
:02:53. > :02:57.is an additional introduction of troops, which of course Donald Trump
:02:58. > :03:01.said should happen before he became a candidate, before he became
:03:02. > :03:05.president. That he would not be the only president to change mind on

:03:16. > :03:21.in the UK or elsewhere you will see that address from President Trump on
:03:22. > :03:26.the BBC. To south Asia, where flooding is causing humanitarian
:03:27. > :03:33.crisis. It is estimated that over 750 people have already died and
:03:34. > :03:37.India, Bangladesh and Nepal are all affected, many areas cut off. One
:03:38. > :03:44.district in Nepal, which we have marked here, it is cut off, one BBC
:03:45. > :03:51.team has got here, and this is the report. We are in one of the worst
:03:52. > :03:59.hit areas. I've met the locals and they tell me that their villages are
:04:00. > :04:12.inundated so I'm going to see for myself. To get to the village we
:04:13. > :04:19.need to cross areas like this and we are told there are snakes all over.
:04:20. > :04:25.On the way we meet a woman eager to show us her home. What she is saying
:04:26. > :04:31.is, after this fled the whole house has come down and she has nowhere to

:04:41. > :04:44.more than five days now. In the Village people are desperate to talk
:04:45. > :04:52.about their ordeal. One woman says she feels her housemate collapse at

:04:57. > :05:02.yet needs to go back because my husband is ill and he needs be
:05:03. > :05:07.treated. She is saying that her husband was trying to rescue the
:05:08. > :05:12.Buffalo, which was trapped in the floodwaters, and when he tried to
:05:13. > :05:18.pull the Buffalo at, it got injured and brokers like, can't move and was
:05:19. > :05:27.trapped. This lady says she's worried for her child. She is
:05:28. > :05:32.talking about this little baby. She says she's got nothing, everything
:05:33. > :05:40.has been swept away, she can't even feed the baby, life for her is very
:05:41. > :05:46.difficult. No materials, no food for the baby as of yet, I think. The
:05:47. > :05:53.rain starts to get heavier and our guide warns us that we should head
:05:54. > :05:58.back. For the village, the rising water will be misery and whatever
:05:59. > :06:04.they have been able to salvage is again at risk. BBC News, Nepal. That
:06:05. > :06:11.report was from Nepal. Next, northern Bangladesh. One BBC

:06:56. > :07:00.Right now, the communities affected are very much in need of food,

:07:28. > :07:32.won the first game of the season against Brighton but they are not
:07:33. > :07:39.having it all their way. Gavin, it's got interesting. It has, Ros, they
:07:40. > :07:42.are not having it their way at all. Manchester City trailing 1-0. Both
:07:43. > :07:45.sides won the first game, they hope to keep up with the leaders,
:07:46. > :07:50.Manchester United and Huddersfield town. About something that happened
:07:51. > :07:56.before the game, both sides decided to mark the recent terrorist attack
:07:57. > :08:04.victims in Spain and in Manchester in May. They are wearing the worker
:08:05. > :08:08.bee, the symbol of Manchester, it is essentially a kind of uniting force

:08:15. > :08:23.and various other projects to do with commemorating the terror
:08:24. > :08:28.attacks. In terms of the game, we have Wayne Rooney who rejoined
:08:29. > :08:33.Everton from Manchester United this summer, he opened the scoring for
:08:34. > :08:38.Everton giving them the lead in the city and sixth minute. Manchester
:08:39. > :08:44.City have had one man sent off, Kyle Walker -- the lead in the 36th
:08:45. > :08:48.minute. Ten minutes to go, Everton still leading 1-0, City are having
:08:49. > :08:51.the best of the possession, the best of the breaks but can't find a
:08:52. > :08:58.winner. It looks as if Everton will have to wins out of two. I noticed
:08:59. > :09:03.that really was getting a single figure salute from one of the
:09:04. > :09:06.Manchester City fans as he celebrated his goal! Seems there is
:09:07. > :09:10.no love lost between him and the other side of my justice since he
:09:11. > :09:14.left Manchester United. Let's talk about skateboarding, it's now an
:09:15. > :09:19.Olympic sport, the next Olympics will be in 2020 in Tokyo, we've got
:09:20. > :09:23.a while for the excitement to build, this week the Park skateboarding
:09:24. > :09:32.Championships so we wanted to look at this as a sport. We see our
:09:33. > :09:37.professional league, or street league, as a discipline of
:09:38. > :09:44.skateboarding. Those will always be the primary driving factor for sport
:09:45. > :09:48.organisation globally. However, once every four years, skateboarding will
:09:49. > :09:54.be elevated onto the world stage, through the Olympics and we want to
:09:55. > :09:57.make sure that when that happens we want to work together to make sure
:09:58. > :10:02.it is the best possible representation. So like the NBA
:10:03. > :10:06.every other best professional basketball players compete for the
:10:07. > :10:10.NBA Championship. But every four years they get to compete for their
:10:11. > :10:14.country. And I think that is has skateboarding will be when it enters

:14:30. > :14:34.it accuses Angela Merkel and Martin Schulz of avoiding the question
:14:35. > :14:37.entirely. Earlier I spoke to our correspondent Damian McGuinness on
:14:38. > :14:41.the positions of all three. Starting with the Chancellor. What is
:14:42. > :14:45.interesting about the election Ros is that Angela Merkel is trying not
:14:46. > :14:49.to talk about too much at all because her aim is not to rock the
:14:50. > :14:54.boat. She is streaking ahead in the polls. The party of centre-right
:14:55. > :15:00.Christian Democrats are approaching 40% which is pretty incredible since
:15:01. > :15:05.she's going for a fourth term in office. What she wants to do is
:15:06. > :15:13.avoid any controversial issues that might inspire people not to boat for
:15:14. > :15:17.her. In this campaign she is attempting to neutralise any
:15:18. > :15:21.potential issue that her left wing rivals might use against her. But
:15:22. > :15:25.she has been accused of doing over the past election campaign and will
:15:26. > :15:27.undoubtedly carry on doing in the next couple of weeks is avoid
:15:28. > :15:32.anything controversial because she really doesn't want to rock the
:15:33. > :15:37.boat. Let's talk about her main opponent, Martin Schulz, confident
:15:38. > :15:41.operator in the European Parliament and in this campaign. What is the
:15:42. > :15:44.root of that confidence? It is interesting because when he first
:15:45. > :15:50.burst onto the scene in Germany earlier this year, there was a lot
:15:51. > :15:56.of hype around him, a lot of expectation that he would do very
:15:57. > :15:59.well. But that has dissipated. The last few months, it is hard to see
:16:00. > :16:03.what that confidence is based on. He still says he stands a chance of
:16:04. > :16:08.becoming the next Chancellor. Anything is possible I suppose that
:16:09. > :16:13.if you look at the polls, his party, the centre left party, only pulling
:16:14. > :16:17.in the early 20s. So most people are predicting that Angela Merkel will
:16:18. > :16:21.stay as Chancellor. The big question is who she will be governing with.
:16:22. > :16:25.It is unlikely according to the latest poll data that Martin Schulz
:16:26. > :16:29.will become the next Chancellor that it could be that his party ends up
:16:30. > :16:34.in government. And one problem that the centre left SPD have had in the
:16:35. > :16:38.last years is that they have governed with Angela Merkel so it
:16:39. > :16:42.will be hard for Martin Schulz to criticise the past four years and
:16:43. > :16:45.say that this isn't working and that isn't working because they have been
:16:46. > :16:49.partly responsible for what has been happening. They will have to be
:16:50. > :16:54.relatively reticent in their criticisms of Angela Merkel and they
:16:55. > :16:57.are struggling to find the platform that differentiates them from her
:16:58. > :17:00.party. That's because she is occupying the centre ground, she's
:17:01. > :17:05.pinched traditional left-wing issues and in the past few months Martin
:17:06. > :17:09.Schulz has really started to struggle, flagging in the polls,
:17:10. > :17:13.looking around for issues to focus on. So far with little success. Of
:17:14. > :17:17.course we have another month to go and a lot can happen in the

:18:20. > :18:24.client has still not convinced anything and still pleads not guilty
:18:25. > :18:28.to the charges against him. Listener believe that he sank his own
:18:29. > :18:33.submarine and he has been charged with negligent manslaughter. Peter

:19:02. > :19:05.to shoot himself up into the sky. Police say they cannot give any
:19:06. > :19:10.further information yet as the investigation continues to find out
:19:11. > :19:15.what happened to Kim. Katrina Renton, BBC News. Now to a story
:19:16. > :19:21.that started over the weekend. A letter, signed by over 100 robotics
:19:22. > :19:24.experts, calling for a ban on the element of so-called killer robots
:19:25. > :19:28.which almost certainly do not look like this. What they are referring
:19:29. > :19:37.to are autonomous weapons that can choose and target targets without
:19:38. > :19:42.any human intervention. There's been a lot of talk and this seems to be
:19:43. > :19:46.getting results, more than 90 countries discussed the use of the
:19:47. > :19:51.UN. This is the letter I am referring to, sent to the United
:19:52. > :19:55.Nations, it cannot load because there must be a problem with the
:19:56. > :20:01.connection. It is developing these weapons is a Pandora's box. Some big
:20:02. > :20:07.names have put their signature to this, this is the co-founder of
:20:08. > :20:13.Google's artificial intelligence programme, you will know about Elon
:20:14. > :20:16.Musk, he treated, if you are not concerned about the safety of this
:20:17. > :20:22.you should be because it is vastly more risky than North Korea. I have
:20:23. > :20:27.been talking about who might develop this kind of technologies. Everyone
:20:28. > :20:32.is developing them, as in the weapons industry is already
:20:33. > :20:35.incredibly lucrative. You can see the advantages of having a machine
:20:36. > :20:46.in battle that contains no risk to military personnel. We are seeing
:20:47. > :20:52.more and more autonomous drones, so there has to be a human pressing the
:20:53. > :20:56.button and deciding when it fires. Autonomous tanks, and it's only a
:20:57. > :20:59.matter of time before the technology is good enough for human control not
:21:00. > :21:05.to be necessary, even if it is morally required. And who might make
:21:06. > :21:09.the counterargument against this letter? I think the industry would
:21:10. > :21:13.make the counter argument. The idea is that it will protect a lot of
:21:14. > :21:18.people, save a lot of money, anything that AI can do will be more
:21:19. > :21:21.efficient than human life, they can make split-level decisions more
:21:22. > :21:26.quickly than we can, but the strength and weakness is that they
:21:27. > :21:31.are not influenced by emotion, or fear, or moral or ethical dilemmas,
:21:32. > :21:35.all the things that make us human and might make us hesitate in
:21:36. > :21:39.battle, which could cause loss of life. So there is that argument that
:21:40. > :21:44.autonomous weapons are the way forward. We have already seen a
:21:45. > :21:53.drone last week developed, it is tiny, the size of a small quad
:21:54. > :21:57.copter drone, it can fire a gun, it has technology to compensate recoil.
:21:58. > :22:01.We are seeing that on the market already. It can only be fired
:22:02. > :22:04.remotely, there is no reason why it can be trained to make its own
:22:05. > :22:07.decisions to pick its targets and fire when it is ready with no one
:22:08. > :22:13.being involved, pressing that button. And the signatories of this
